I spend lots of time on the road, and have been listening to podcasts quite a bit. I cancelled my Sirius radio and wanted to know if anyone knows of any entertaining beekeeping podcasts?
I spend lots of time on the road, and have been listening to podcasts quite a bit. I cancelled my Sirius radio and wanted to know if anyone knows of any entertaining beekeeping podcasts?
I believe you'll find some podcasts on Brushy Mountain's website.
Trying to think inside the box...
somdbeekeeper.com has several interviews with Michael Bush, John Seaborn, FatBeeMan and a lot more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Here are some 3 podcasts I subscribe to:
The Barefoot Beekeeper http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...er/id354105540
The Beekeeper's Corner Podcast http://www.bkcorner.org/
Studio Bee Live http://www.honeybeesonline.com/studiobeelive.html
We have a new beekeeping podcast, its the kiwimana buzz... We have just released our ninth show.
Search for us in iTunes or sticher radio.
This is the RSS feed to use in your Pod Catcher software:-
Our web site is kiwimana.co.nz
This topic might need to become a sticky, for reference material.
Yep a Sticky would be a great idea, here are the current active podcasts we listen to about Beekeeping:-
BK Corner - Kevins great podcast from New Jersey
The BareFoot Beekeeper - Phils podcast about Top Bar and Natural Beekeeping from England
Bubbatanicals - Brian Discusses Beekeeper and other topics as well
There are others but these are not currently active, Do you know of any other please add then to this sticky.
wildlife pro network has a bunch of great podcasts. They are the ones that really got me interested in bees.
Hi All,
Discovered a new one yesterday:-
Hive Talk with Jon Zawislak and David Burns
A new weekly podcast that started in October 2013. It's a call in Radio type show. Join EAS certified master beekeepers Jon Zawislak and David Burns as they spend 30 minutes having fun talking about honey bees and answering your questions.
The show has some great content and looks very promising.

Check it out, only two episodes so far...Gary
Hi All,
I have made a list of all the current Free Beekeeping podcast (that I know about).
Do you know of any others that have had new content in the last three months, I didn't include ones that had stop producing content.
Please reply if we have missed any other ones off the list, I will do my best keep this list current with all the Beekeeping podcast.
Here is the list

Is there a console command to get rid of the bees?
I hate those things so much after putting many hours into decorating my house, then after finishing the greenhouse and coming back and hearing pots and jugs dropping. And what do I see? Bees! Everywhere, knocking stuff off the shelves and making a mess! I even tried picking them up and throwing them in the lake behind the house but when I came back, the house was again filled with even more bees and this time they also brought butterflies with them!
All I need is some way of stopping them from respawning. I don't care if I lose them as an alchemy reagent. They're just so annoying and make it impossible to decorate. They even come out of the greenhouse and knock things off the shelves and tables in other rooms too!

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Behavior (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-behavior/)
- - He likes to use his paws... (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-behavior/394714-he-likes-use-his-paws.html)
He likes to use his paws...
I'm not sure if this is a breed thing, or if its a behavior I can alter...
My pup is a year old, and he uses his paws a bit too much. Those suckers are big and can hurt if you're not careful. When we tug, he cheats and uses his paws to try to win. If I lay down on the floor, he will lay next to me but tries to put his paws on me and they're heavy! A couple times they've landed on my face.
I'm pregnant and I'm worried about him trying to put those suckers on the baby.
Can I get him to knock this off? Teach him that it hurts?
It's like he doesn't realize he is big and can hurt me....

1 >>> usuing his paws is a sign of intelligence.
2 >>> learn dog behaviour. he's not cheating.
3 >>> your pregnant. protect yourself. don't
do things that encourages your dog to put
his paws on you.
4 >>> protect your baby. if your dog puts
his paws on your baby it's your fault.
watch the dog and the baby closely.
never leave them alone.
You're right, he's not cheating because he is a dog. I worded it that way so that people could picture what the heck I am talking about.
You didn't give me any training advice to counteract this behavior. You just made me feel like a **** moron....
But I would kind of like to hang out with my dog....not throw him away because I'm bringing a child into my home, like so many people do. I would like to correct this BEFORE the baby is here, hence why I am asking while pregnant.
So some actual advice would be really nice!!!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Advice: Trim his nails over time andso they are very short. Teach him the shake command so he can associate pawing with an action instead of an attention grabber. Teach him a good way to ask for attention such as nosing your hand. A wet nose doesn't hurt as much as those huge, heavy boxing gloves with nails that they have. Anytime he paws, ignore him and do the aforementioned ideas. And good luck! Congratulations on the baby by the way! I have three kids. It's fun! :rolleyes:
Edit: And no one advised you to "throw your dog away" as you so eloquently put it.
Thank you very much, I will try that =]
He clearly missed the part where I'm pregnant...makes me a tid bit snippy!
So my apologies for being a B, just wanted some advice!

Check on google for methods of teaching body (especially foot) awareness for dogs (often used for agility). The more aware of his feet he is, the less likely he is to be putting them where they shouldn't be. Most places seem to focus on rear foot awareness (like Full-Body Awareness in Agility), but this can also apply to front feet and help you work with him so he isn't slapping his big paws all over you.
Also important is working with your dog now on control and calmness so that when you do introduce the baby (ALWAYS ALWAYS SUPERVISED) your dog won't get hyped up over the strange squeaky thing that has suddenly invaded his home. If you have a chance to meet up with other parents that have young babies so he is exposed to them, that might be helpful as well.
Here are a couple links that may give you more information:
Baby Safety Around Dogs | Prepare the family dog for life with a baby
Dogs and Babies | Learning to Live Happily Ever After (I love this one, it has a ton of info)
By the way, you may get advice on here that is very blunt, to the point of seeming rude, but there are a ton of really knowledgeable people who you can really learn some neat stuff from. Let answers you don't care for roll off your back, and take away the things you can use, and you'll probably find this forum is one of the most awesome places around.
Wow that full body awareness article is awesome! I will definitely be trying some of those out.
As for the other links, thank you very much...I still haven't done my research on introducing him to the baby. Thank you for pointing me in the correct direction!

nobody can make you feel anything you don't want to feel.
i had no intention of making you feel anything. your new here.
after 15 posts then the "you made feel" starts. lol.
when your dog puts his paw on you take his paw off of you
and say "no" or "no paw" or whatever phrase you want to use.
you don't have to rehome your dog because the baby is coming.
find a trainer.
Our two/one year old pups are very energetic, they do good with toddlers and other ages....our friend had a baby...they had never been around newborns. We started teaching " gentle" command....when they were really excited we would say no, gentle, and slowly do what we asked....we started with treats, if they kept going for them at the normal pace and speed....we would say no, step back, say "gentle" and do it again. They figured it out after a few times...after they mastered being extremely gentle with the treat we moved to things they would get crazy excited about to the point of obnoxious....chuck it balls, soccer balls, frisbee, tug rope......a few times with each thing....they nailed the "gentle" command....the newborn coming in for the first time, we had them on leashes....put the seat on the coffee table and said "gentle"....Millie just watches the baby from a short distance. Miles never leaves her side when she is here....as far as the jumping.....that seems to be a common thing for excited dogs, even small ones....we taught the "off" command, "hug" trick, and "kiss" trick....our girls like them to jump up and hug and kiss them! I DONT like it!!! So to reach a happy medium and the dogs understand who allows it and who doesn't....we started training....when they would jump on me. I would say off, and sitz. I would not pet or show attention until they were sitting and calm. They mastered it...and only jump on me when I ask for a hug! I hate being licked, so they no longer lunge lick me or everyone they are around. They will now only lick when someone says "kiss"....we taught that like you would teach shake, or any other command....when she was licking we would say good kiss and eventually say "kiss" and put out face to hers...after a few times she nailed it. With "hug" we had them sitz, then tap our chest and say hug....a few times, they mastered it. Now when we come home. The people that don't want to be mauled with dog kisses and hugs are left alone...the ones that love it are mauled until the girls tell them to stop.....shepherds are so smart! They know much more than we give them credit for. From our time with them and newborn visits....they seem to just know the baby is much more delicate....miles who normally can bust through a wall with his in door clumsy shepherd strength....never misses a step when the baby is around and he does things to make a point to me more careful. For instance....we never taught him to crawl, but when the baby is on the bed....he jumps on at the other end...and crawls, inches toward her...it is amazing to watch. We never leave them alone together, but as a very cautious person that is just me....I don't think he would hurt her on purpose, but I would never want to test that theory. I even practice that with our foster cat...he is never alone with kids. I just feel all animals have a wild instinct and just feel better always watching any situation including animals.
Congrats on the baby! We are new to the forum....lots of great advice and ideas..But I tend to do better with straight forward and to the point advice and opinions...I have noticed if I don't get the advice or the answer I am looking for, asking it with a little different wording...gets me many different ideas. I ask like I do with my girls. If they don't give the answer or solution I am looking for, reword it to see if they understand what I am asking...and make sure we are on the same page. Sometimes it's more about people not understanding exactly what I was asking. :-)

Good advise here I like the "gentle" command. At one year old he should know the basics Sit,Down and Stay?
I used "Down" to control most unwanted behavior, interrupts playtime, they figure out pretty quick what the "issue" is! :)

Love your "repurposing" job and such a great idea!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love your "repurposing" job and such a great idea!
How cool is that! What a great idea.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!
What a great idea! Looks fantastic! Love it!!

Cool, what a way to recycle!!!!!
A quilt is a blanket of love. Sharon
I was thinking about doing this to my office chair that I got on free cycle as the fabric is very worn and shiney. Not sure what they did to it but it looks like it is melted.
I was also wondering if you took the cushions off to do it like reupholster or made like slip covers?
FUN! Great recycling! Don't you just LOVE Pinterest!!!?
I was wondering, my office chair has a big plastic back ... how do I get that off so I can recover the front???
Great job!
w.ould like more detail on how you did this
How cute, love the way you even cover the legs! Happy sitting and sewing, the chair should give you plenty of inspiration!


text: I found a queen in a hive I was taking apart. There was only a handful of bees and a queen. What is even more amazing is that before I found the queen I saw a frame with eggs. I thought the eggs must be from last fall, but the eggs looked fresh. The hive next to this found queen is queenless. I put the found queen by the entrance of the queenless hive and she flew up. I caught the queen again and released her through the inner cover. I did not have a queen cage with me. I hope the queenless hive accepts her. I gave the queenless hive a frame of brood/eggs a few days ago. To complicate matters the hive with a handful of bees also had small hive beetles. I took apart the hive and made two piles, the frames I would keep and the frames I would discard. Frames with shb are nasty and we do not have this problem to a great degree up north. In a couple of weeks I will put the hive back together again and install a package. I almost wish I could rent freezer space for the frames with shb. The hive was two deeps. What do you do with the nasty shb frames? Some of the honey frames I can save and give back to the bees when I install a package. One of the big problem is freezer room.

Instead, this is likely a joke gone bad. BA is apologizing profusely after it was noted that the LHR News, the company's internal magazine for BA staff at London's Heathrow airport, had the image above in it. The photo accompanied an article touting the benefits of BA's mobile-boarding setup, which permits users of mobile devices (like bin Laden's iPhone) to print out their boarding passes on the fly.
The boarding pass reads "Bin Laden/Osama," as you can see. Worse, it appears that somehow bin Laden managed to get frequent flyer miles.
While it could just be a joke gone bad, it's also possible it's a bit of ill-natured sabotage by a disgruntled employee. After all, BA is embroiled in a nasty standoff with cabin crew that has led to strikes.

I love this. Critics have been nothing but critical of President Obama from day one, but they can't stop him from having some fun. He has charisma and a personality (something one candidate in the Republican field can't seem to find or make up his mind about). Take notes people. It's called like-ability.
"I'm President Barack Obama, and I, too, would like to Slow Jam the News," said Obama. Good Job, Mr. President. Kudos to the Roots and Jimmy Fallon as well!!!
This video will get millions of views and make people aware of what is going on with student loan funding, Pell grants and the potential rise in interest rates. Many of the viewers will be young people who don't follow politics. They will be able to easily understand why this is a pocket-book issue of them and how it impacts their future. Obama needs to see huge youth vote numbers to win in November. I believe this was a smart move for him.
If it's ok for Santorum to take news crews with him on a hunting trip and Gingrich to talk about building a colony on the moon, I really dare crazy Right wing folks to have a problem with Barack Obama using some humor to get a serious point across to young people.
If you don't get it, you may not be part of the intended audience.

I've been looking through different engines and am not sure which one will supply me with both a decent amount of power and decent mpg. i know it wont be fast but as long as it does better than the 2.8 im good with that. any ideas?

What do you do when you want to back up your information on an external hard drive, but worry about corruption, house fires, and floods?
Well, perhaps you don't worry about those things, but I do. I was in the market for an external hard drive a few years ago, and read dozens of reviews for them. The vast majority of brands and models got as many bad reviews as good ones. This scared me away. I also worried about fires and floods. Fires are annual events in arid Arizona, and the built-in sprinklers in my house could easily cause water damage if a fire ravaged the area. So I didn't want to buy a little wimpy hard drive that got as many bad reviews as good ones. If I'm trusting something to be a backup for my main hard drive, I want it to be reliable.
In my original research, the only brand of external hard drive that had no or very few bad reviews was ioSafe. Though it costs more per GB or TB than most other solutions, it is also fireproof to 1550°F for half an hour. You can search the internet for images of ioSafes in fires, even one of it in an oven with an egg cooking on it. ioSafe hard drives are also waterproof. Not just water resistant. Waterproof. You could toss this thing in a pool and your data would be safe. It protects against data loss in up to ten feet of water for 72 hours. I knew I found my hard drive.

It is possible. You have to know that Stata doesn't maximize with
respect to rho, but to the Fisher's Z transformation of rho (also
known as the arc-hyperbolic tangent of rho, which is implemented
as the -atanh()- function in Stata). So if you want to constrain
the rho to be .3, than you have to tell Stata to constrain the
appropriate parameter to -atanh(.3)-. The appropriate parameter
is the constant in the athrho equation. This is what I have done
in the example below (except that I use -.3 instead of .3 as that
better fits in this data):
*----------- begin example -----------------
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/school.dta, clear
local athrho = atanh(-.3)
constraint 1 [athrho]_cons = `athrho'
biprobit priv vote logptax loginc years, constraint(1)
*------------ end example ------------------

Flying W Ranch new hope
Volunteer fire mitigation help
COLORADO SPRINGS - Volunteers are turning dead trees into new hope for the future of the Flying W Ranch in the Mountain Shadows area. The Flying W is the only business that was destroyed by the Waldo Canyon wildfire. I watched as volunteers with the Coalition For The Upper South Platte were mulching and doing extensive mitigation work on the hill.
C.U.S.P. organizer Jonathan Bruno tells me the trees will be turned into terraces to help stem the tide of flooding because the vegetation on the hills near the ranch has been burned away. He showed me rocks in the soil that he described as ball bearings. Bruno said, "By working up on these hill slopes with contour trees, we're mitigating what's entering in the drainage and racing down here. These trees slash terraces will help hold that water in place and doesn't allow it to race down the hill. It slows it down." Bruno's organization spearheads work on private property, post fire to prevent future erosion.
Flying W Ranch owner Leigh Ann Wolfe tells me, "So much has accomplished with so little in one day. With this mitigation work, I'm going to sleep for the first time since June 26th, because we see progress. Wolfe is psyched about a Friday meeting with Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach, "I get to go to Mayor Bach and say look at what we've done with so little to protect the mountain shed."
The effort to help the Flying W Ranch is full up with volunteers. You can still help with future mitigation projects in other areas. We've put a link to that information on Links We Mentioned, front page, KRDO.com

PLHS speech team wins ribbons at challenging meet
The Pequot Lakes High School speech team attended one of the largest and most challenging meets of the season Saturday, Feb. 23 — the Bemidji Lumberjack Invitational.
The Lumberjack drew competitors from 27 schools. These teams fall into both the A and AA class of competition. In speech, Pequot Lakes falls into the smaller A class.
Because of the sheer number of entries, the team did not walk away with as many awards as normal, but still managed to capture a handful of ribbons.
In Dramatic Duo, Luke Fyle and Marissa Miller made the cut into the final round of competition resulting in a blue ribbon and seventh place.
Katie Northenscold and Allie Miller both received red ribbons in Creative Expression, and Miller received the additional honor of Novice Champion.
At the Lumberjack, an extra award was given to the novice speaker with the highest overall score. Novice speakers are those in 7th-9th grade or in their first year of speech. Abby Person took home a red ribbon and the Novice Champion for her category of Extemporaneous Reading, and Erin Brine-Doyle also received a red ribbon and Novice Champion for Serious Poetry.
This weekend the team will face a similar challenge in Walker.
Staples-Motley Invitational
The high school speech team continued its pattern of success Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Staples-Motley Invitational, bringing home 17 total awards.
Twelve of these awards were earned in a competitive final round that brings together the top eight speakers in each category. Following are results:
Great Speeches: Charlie Box, third.
Dramatic Duo: Marissa Miller/Fyle, first; Mackenzie Renford/Emily Espeseth, red ribbon.
Creative Expression: Marissa Miller, second; Northenscold, blue; Renford, red ribbon.
Dramatic Interpretation: Angela Cole, first; Fyle, second; Michelle Mink and Breanna Rhodes, red ribbons.
Serious Prose: Ben Sullivan, first; Cole, third.
Informative: Vanessa Sellner, blue ribbon.
Extemporaneous Reading: Person, blue ribbon.
Serious Poetry: Brine-Doyle, blue ribbon.
Humorous Interpretation: Jacob Giedd, blue ribbon; Nova Kilbourne, red ribbon.
Junior high
Though they are young, the Pequot Lakes junior high speech team is wasting no time proving it has talent. The Feb. 12 Junior High Invitational at Cass Lake-Bena sent the team home with a handful of awards. Creative Expression: Allie Miller, first.
Humorous Interpretation: Giedd and Espeseth, both runners-up.
Dramatic Duo: Easton Hanson/Olivia Ellson and Olivia Stattleman/Brianna Craig, runners-up.
Extemporaneous Reading: Person, runner-up.
Serious Prose: Courtney Rock, runner-up.
Serious Poetry: Hannah Allen, runner up.
Informative: Sellner, third.
The success continued Tuesday night, Feb. 19, in Park Rapids with Allie Miller taking first in Creative Expression, Rhodes taking fourth in Dramatic Interpretation and Person taking third in Extemporaneous Reading.
Tuesday, Feb. 26, Pequot Lakes hosted its own invitational.

I think that what folks are failing to see about this past season is that with all the issues we had with our OC, DC, players not panning out, injuries, dropped passes, etc......etc......., that we still could have made it to the playoffs if Eli Manning had stepped up and he didn't, not in 2012. ELIte QBs step up in those situations when the rest of their team is not performing and the ELIte QBs make his teammates play better. Eli Manning did this in 2011, the 2007 playoff run and at other times throughout his career. However, he has not been consistent with that. I was hoping that we would have the Eli of 2011 but we didn't this past season and that is the main reason that we didn't make the playoffs. Whatever our problems were, we were still very close and Eli Manning is our leader and we praise him when we win but we also need to take account of when we don't win because of him. Eli is how this team goes. He is how this team will go for at least the next 5-7 years.
If someone were to say that Eli is an ELIte post season QB then fine. If someone were to say that Eli is an ELIte SuperBowl QB then fine. If someone were to say that when Eli is on he is one of the best then fine. However, if we are going to call Eli an overall ELIte QB then we need that guy from 2011 back. This team needs that guy from 2011 back and I think it is possible.
As everyone knows, Eli is my favorite NY Giant and I know we will have a lot of exciting football from him for years to come and if the 2011 Eli doesn't come back and we keep the 2012 version then hey, I am fine with that too. It just means that we will constantly fight to make the playoffs but when we do, we know we can trust Eli to really step it up and that means a lot.
I have faith that ELIte Eli from 2011 will be coming back to lead this team in 2013.
I bELIeve.

"TinyPrints rocks!!! Adorable products from great designers. The real kicker is the service, though. I was really late prepping my Valentine photo cards this year. Stayed up late picking photos and uploading stuff 4 days before Valentine's, and I literally had the (BEAUTIFUL) cards in my hand 36 hours later. The charge for rush service was completely reasonable. This was 3 separate cards, mind you, one for each kid. My one wish regarding this particular card would be for ALL the text, even the colorful fancy font areas, to be customizable. Only the small print fields could be edited. This is a really minor quibble though."
"The rep who was reviewing my order, noticed that you couldn't see the caption on the card because of the picture that I selected and suggested a way to fix it. Not only did she call me, she changed it and made it better. Great job & customer service on this one!"
"Nice to be able to include up to 5 photos on one card! Be sure to zoom in on the photos you choose for the 2 smallest frames on the front of the card. Otherwise, your subject get lost. Great card!"
"Adored this card. Easy to create. Received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! Will continue to avoid the Christmas card frenzy and continue to send a family Valentine's Day one instead!"
"This card was perfect for our family Valentine cards. The colors were vibrant. The paper quality was superb. We received more compliments on these cards than on the Christmas cards we designed through another company that cost much more!"

Reviews of this property
The only positive about this apartment was the price and its proximity to the beach. Terrible internet, uncomfortable bed, cheap and half broken kitchen ware and a blind in the sitting room that doesn't close. Without a diffuser the place smells of sewage, despite it being all the way up on the 5th floor (conveniently no mention of that in the advert).
On arrival I was just handed the key by someone who left as soon as I stept through the door. No tour, explaining, or wecome of some sort (so also no way of determining breakages or problems that are already there and you can be accused of after!)
The apartment block is very very noisy. I think we were sandwiched between 2 families who argued all the time, to the extend you wanted to call either the police or social services. Nothing worse to be forced to listen to whilst lying in bed, or having dinner.
Our stay at this apartment served a purpose, we know Valencia pretty well, but for a lovely relaxing holiday, this would certainly not be my choice. Probably the worst we stayed in so far.
Great Sunny appartment.. but not hot... 2 big bedrooms, seperate kitchen, clean , enough to cook, nice bathroom , good shower, near the beach, and shops, 5 minutes walk and also near the busses to the city centre and..... WIFI; We loved it;
An 8 for everything!!. Malina also so send someone to pick us up , after we took the wrong way when we came..
Unfortunately we have to announce that there were some flaws in the apartment: - shower was hot 30 sec. - Toilet bowl was loose - no television. - Pity there is one chair on the balcony. - The air conditioning can only briefly. We also had the sense to us!
Helaas moeten wij mededelen dat er wel wat gebreken waren aan het appartement: - douche was 30 sec warm. - wc pot zat los - geen televisie. - jammer dat er één stoeltje staat op het balkon. - de airco kan maar kort aan. Verder hebben we het naar ons zin gehad!
we were good, nice and functional apartment near the beach of the malvarrosa. we near market, bus stop, taxi stop, tobacco etc.. only flaw fourth floor but WITHOUT ELEVATOR!! o_O
ci siamo trovati bene, appartamento carino e funzionale vicino la spiaggia della malvarrosa. vicino avevamo market, fermata bus, fermata taxi, tabacchi ecc.
unica pecca quarto piano ma SENZA ASCENSORE !!!! o_O
Vacanza bellissima, 13 giorni di bel tempo e caldo. L'alloggio è veramente vicino al mare e alla via principale, 2 minuti a piedi, Malvarrosa dove si trova il supermercato Mercadona, la fermata del pullman 19 che ti porta in centro a Valencia e altri negozi, gentilissima la signora del negozio dei giornali e ricarica la tessera del pullman.
L'appartamento è situato in un quartiere molto popolare, ma tranquillo, molto carino e pulito, si vede che lo hanno ristrutturato, acqua calda sempre, aria condizionata, lavatrice, forno microonde, ombrellone x la spiaggia e giochi da mare x i bambini. L'unica pecca di questo alloggio è che si trova al QUINTO piano e tipo noi che avevamo al seguito la suocera, vi lascio immaginare quando ha visto tutti quei piani da fare..lo consiglio, ma ricordatevi i 5 piani a piedi...
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung. Alles vorhanden, außer einem Fernseher, den wir aber auch nicht benötigt haben. Wohnzimmer ist etwas spartanisch eingerichtet und das Geschirr war nicht mehr vollständig!
Super Lage zum Strand, öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und zum Supermarkt!
Klasse Wohnung. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gepflegt. Außerdem sind alle nötigen Sachen da (Töpfe, Messer, Gläser etc.)
Der Weg zum Strand ist super kurz und auch die Stadt ist mit Bus leicht zu erreichen.
Leider ist bei meinem Aufenthalt der Durchlauferhitzer kaputt gegangen, aber da konnte keiner was für. Malina war gut über Handy zu erreichen und hat soweit alles geklärt.
Kann es also nur weiter empfehlen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
This apartment is not as it was presented and is overpriced.
On the 5th floor of a poorly lit and maintained staircase.street level door is rarely locked.Furnishings are very basic,old and tired. No t.v. There is insufficient chairs for the number of people it accommodates.
Other listings on Wimdu for half the price.
Very disappointing.
very good and nice appartment!
Nice decorated flat with enough space.the kitchen can use a bigger table, if you stay with more then 2 its to small.there are only 2 relax chairs.the bedrooms are really lovely and spacious. Easy acces to shops,beach,market,metro.
Its a common neighbourhood with a lot of noise.
The flat is on the Fifth flour and no elevator! There was no contact with the host accept handing over the key.
Overall a good flat for a good price.

15 minute meals book
Hi Jamie thank u.
me and my husband are loving cooking the 15 minute meals. I am so fussy with what I eat but we loved the bubble and squeak mash with the bacon and steak. Our favourite was the sticky pork with the gorgeous fragrant rice. I hated rice till I tried that. U have opened my eyes and taste buds to a new world and we are spending more time together cooking. Thank u x

Re: 15 minute meals book
My husband got me to sit and watch the 15 min meals (a feat in itself) just before Christmas. I really enjoyed them and loved the fact that they were calorie counted (ongoing situation). My niece bought him the book for Christmas and he treated me to a meal Wednesday nights cooked whilst I was at Healthy Eaters and on the table for my return, wow, for me a million Christmases! We watched the re-run in January and I am now planning the week's meals around the recipes in the book and finding them quick, delicious, easy and most important for me - healthy! Not only do I have the weekly treat of being cooked for but Jamie has succeeded in getting my husband to eat GREENS! That is worth a fortune! Well done Jamie! Hope there is going to be a 15 min-meals Volume 2.

I am a newbie keeper....my bees have yet to arrive but the hives are located about 200 yards from a lake. the location is a relatively rural area and as such is not located next to a house or out building where I have a ready source of running water.
I had a beekeeper suggest that I provide supplemental water because they would find it hard to drink from the lake unless it was very still or had lily pads in it.
is there any veracity to this statement?

How quickly things can change. I remember when I was little and me and my brother got caught stealing at a store close to our house. The police got called and they handcuffed us (mostly to scare us) and the store owner knew where we lived and who our parents were. So my dad showed up, took us home, proceeded to whip our asses, then made me (my brother is half so he lived with his mom he was just visiting) write an apology to the store owner, work there with no pay and wash the owner's car every day for a month. It was summer so my summer break was shot. I never stole again.
The sad part is I'm 26 and this was 16 years ago. How quickly things change huh???

Really nice pics Andy. Good job!

Sweet avatar as well.

hey crush, cheers. how are you?
Doing good buddy. I just got back from North Carolina and visiting with my sister's new baby girl. Now it's back to substitute teaching. How have you been? The pics indicate you are having a good time. When is the big wedding day?

good to hear you're well! i've been good. i love taking pics now. plus, the camera cost a lot, so i'm getting my monies worth. started scuba diving too, which depite the high cost, is amazing.
the big day is the 23rd of april next year. in Las Vegas. it's going to be great, i'm so excited about it.
what do you teach? or is it a range of subjects?
Cool, Vegas will be tons of fun. Congrats again. That is killer that you are scuba diving. That is on my short list of things to do. I am licensed to teach history but as a substitute teacher I am teaching a bit of everything. I teach at a really poor, under-preforming, urban school. The school has a big problem with gangs and drugs. It is super challenging but I am really enjoying it. I am one of the only white cats in the school, so race has been an issue, but the kids are getting to know and trust me and race is becoming less of an issue. It seems that the latinos have more of an issue with me being white than the blacks. I am learning a lot as I go, but am still hoping to pick up apermanent positionsometime soon. I just got wait-listed for a highly competitive teaching residency and am hoping I get accepted for this years cohort.

Teaching seminar particicpants
Guest speaker discusses how to engage students
(March 7, 2008)--The Academy for Teacher Excellence (ATE) of the UTSA College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) hosted two sessions Feb. 29 by Carmen Mercado, faculty member at Hunter College of the City University of New York. Mercado spoke on techniques for engaging students to more than 50 UTSA faculty members, doctoral students and pre-service teachers, and teachers from partner school districts.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Throughout her life, Mercado has been affiliated with New York City public schools, first as a student, and since 1988 as a faculty member at Hunter College. Most of her personal and professional experiences have involved collaborating with teachers, students and their families to identify and build upon sociocultural resources for learning.
Mercado's first session for faculty and doctoral students focused on the importance of re-thinking what it means to teach for change and how to prepare teachers using available resources. The session attracted more than 30 participants and provided a platform to discuss research-based strategies and theory in meeting the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students.
With more than 20 participants, the second session was for ATE partner district teachers and COEHD pre-service teacher candidates. Mercado noted the importance of teachers' knowledge of their students' cultural backgrounds. She encouraged teachers to take an active role as researchers and apply their findings to teaching to bridge the gap between student learning at school and home.

>In y'alls' experience, is it faster to crush and strain a super as opposed to removing the cappings and extracting in a 2-frame junior bench extractor (which I was lucky enough to have a brother give to me)?
Yes it's faster to crush and strain. But you'll get more honey next year if you have drawn comb... if you have more honey than you need anyway, it probably doesn't matter. If you need more wax, then crush and strain would be better.

Appendix A: District Profiles
Forsyth County Schools
|District Demographics
|Enrollment Trend
|Number of Schools
|Population Type
|Subsidized Meals
|English Learners
|Special Needs
To say that this Georgia district has been growing is putting it mildly. In 1991, Forsyth County Schools' enrollment stood at 8,000. Today, a dozen years later, the district serves over 22,000 in 23 schools, and its student population is expected to grow to 34,000 within the next five years. District leaders have been aggressive in developing the infrastructure necessary to respond to Forsyth's dramatic growth. One important strategy was a decision in 1996 to join the Center for Leadership and School Reform's Standard Bearer Network, under the direction of noted reformer Philip Schlechty. Through its participation in this 10-district pilot effort, Forsyth has had access to collaboration and resources otherwise more difficult to find. With the help of this network, the district has been increasing its use of data-driven decision-making and reliance on research to guide strategic planning and practice.
Research about how best to support students who have fallen behind academically has informed Forsyth's implementation of extended learning opportunities (ELOs). Its Early Intervention Program (EIP) provides supplemental instruction during the school day to K-5 students (irrespective of Title I status) who have below standard on the state's competency test. Its Extended-Day Program provides after-school instruction for students performing below grade level on state reading and mathematics assessments, with priority given to EIP and Title I students. All involved-district leaders and staff, teachers, and parents-view these programs as essential to the success of participating students. It was this broad recognition of the value of additional instruction and time on task that lead Forsyth to see SES as a benefit. And because district leaders and staff saw SES as a benefit, they set a positive tone for implementation.
Forsyth initially had two schools whose improvement status triggered SES. Early on, Forsyth realized that its success in getting eligible students at these schools connected to SES was contingent upon parent trust. Although the district sent letters notifying eligible parents about SES, it also recognized that, for many parents, their most important connections to the education system are their relationships at the school level, with classroom teachers and principals. Thus, Forsyth has encouraged and supported school-level outreach. The district also reaches out to new parents through its recently established Transition Center, which provides assistance on such things as student registration, placement testing, and, not least, signing up for SES. Because many new district families are Hispanic, the district sought out as Center coordinator a particular bilingual teacher-on-assignment who has extensive credibility in the community. Parents can thus receive information from someone who speaks their native language and who is well known and well respected. This targeted outreach has proved effective: 99 percent of SES students in 2002-03 were classified as "English as a Second Language" students.
The district was approached by four service providers but two dropped out early on: one determined that the distict's per-child allocation was insufficient to cover its costs and the other, a community-based organization, concluded that it did not have adequate internal resources to carry out the services. The two that remained were different franchises of the same parent company. When that parent company declared that Forsyth County was in the service territory of only one franchisee, the district was left with that one provider. Although district staff have consistently made themselves available to organizations considering becoming SES providers in Forsyth County, to date no other providers have signed on. Although the district had no say in the provider selection, it saw the potential of partnering with its one provider to assist the district's neediest students, and it looked for ways to collaborate to gain even greater pay-off. One strategy for leveraging the SES was to facilitate the ongoing exchange of data between a student's tutor and classroom teacher.
Forsyth's SES tutors use lesson plans available on the Georgia Department of Education Web site to ensure instruction is aligned both to state standards and to classroom learning. Additionally, instructors supplement their lessons by assisting students with homework assigned by classroom teachers. In this way, the program targets students' distinct abilities and needs. The program also uses an in-depth assessment to measure starting points and monitor progress. The results of this diagnostic, along with biweekly progress reports, are provided to parents and teachers.
Forsyth has instituted a continuous feedback loop to support the efforts of both classroom teacher and tutor. Teachers are encouraged to work with tutors and parents to develop the required student learning plans and to review the results of the provider's pre- and post-test. They are also expected to supply tutors with current assessment data: In 2003, the district launched TestTrax, which enables parents, teachers, and school leaders to access standardized and standards-based test data in digestible reports to better understand how students are performing. Classroom teachers provide that data to SES tutors.

Pete's Point: State of Echo Publishing
Echo Publishing's staff experienced numerous changes in 2012 with the goal of solidifying its future.
Those adjustments, made with an emphasis on improving efficiency and increasing financial stability, were also designed to maintain the quality level of our media products.
We started out 2012 by consolidating Echo Publishing's weekly production of our print and online products to the office of the Brainerd Dispatch, which is a sister company for Morris Communications. We closed our Pine River Journal office and kept the Pequot Lakes office open weekdays from 8 a.m. to noon with a limited staff. We also sold our commercial printing operation to Lakes Printing of Brainerd.
These changes were made to improve Echo Publishing's financial status. Although we remain a profitable business by outstate Minnesota newspaper standards, Echo Publishing's operating margin needed to increase to help Morris Communications, which successfully rebounded from bankruptcy.
The changes we made turned out to be a financial success as Echo Publishing improved its profit margin and reached its financial budget in 2012. More important for our readers and advertisers, Echo Publishing was able to maintain its standard as a small-town newspaper operation that represents our lakes area communities.
Echo Publishing has made some key changes in recent years with an eye on the future. In 2006, we consolidated the distribution of our products with the Dispatch. Although it was a challenging conversion, the circulation complaints per thousand are now at an admirable rate. It also helped Echo Publishing become more diverse with its distribution between mail, carrier delivery and store dealer copies.
We also created a "Minnesota Hub" in 2009 by combining the Echo and Dispatch graphic arts departments. The goal was to save local jobs while many newspapers were taking similar work to design hubs in other parts of the country.
Following is an update for key departments at Echo Publishing that affect our readers and advertisers:
The Lake Country Echo, which started in 1972, and Pine River Journal, established in 1935, both remain the official weekly newspapers for recording history, like covering many of our area city councils along with the Pequot Lakes and Pine River-Backus school board meetings.
Nancy Vogt, editor for both the Lake Country Echo and Pine River Journal newspapers, coordinates staff coverage with reporters Kate Perkins, Travis Grimler and a handful of correspondents to attend almost every community event in our area. We're also the only weekly publications covering the Pequot Lakes Patriots and Pine River-Backus Tigers athletic teams and school activities.
The primary goal of the consolidation was to make sure there was no sacrifice in coverage for our readers. Not only did we continue to average between 15-20 weekly byline stories between our two newspapers, but we also earned three Minnesota Newspaper Association awards in 2012.
We're currently working on the advertising phase of the consolidation project. The Echo and Dispatch media consultants will soon be adjusting their account lists to promote industry specialization and become more efficient in territory coverage. The Echo and Dispatch sales staffs will be cross-selling both print and online products. The combined staffs will work together as DE Media (Dispatch/Echo).
We have expanded marketing services to offer with our newly designed pineandlakes.com website and total media consulting services. Our traditional products continue to be successful, especially the popular Echoland-Piper Shopper that reaches an average of 21,000 homes each week.
The redesign of our pineandlakes.com website was recently completed. The update allows for improvement in editorial coverage, especially breaking news updates. The Internet allows weekly newspapers to provide daily news coverage.
We also plan to expand our weekly video coverage. Besides the weekly high school activities update with sports writer Wayne "Wheaties" Wallin, Echo Publishing plans to add weekly reports of area news and entertainment highlights.
We've also expanded the classified advertising information on our new website, along with other marketing opportunities.
Pineandlakes.com remains one of the most viewed websites in the lakes area. Our E-Edition views are also on the rise. Echo Publishing's weekly audience is actually larger than it was 10 years ago with our combined 4,500 weekly newspaper copies and the 5,000 weekly unique online viewers.
The consolidation allowed Echo Publishing to become more efficient in numerous departments by sharing the work loads between Dispatch and Echo employees.
As publisher, I thank the dedicated staffs at both the Echo and Dispatch for the sacrifices made with the consolidation. Although Echo Publishing's staff is about half the size it was just seven years ago, we still continue to produce quality publications each week.
As a longtime journalist and member of the Minnesota Newspaper Association board of directors, I support all the newspaper operations around the state. I couldn't imagine life without community newspapers.
Who would report on government activities, feature area personalities and provide coverage for community events and local athletic teams?

Is it even possible ?
I'm creating draw calls as a pair of <sort key, ptr to draw call data> which I then sort after the key that stores my depth (32bit unsigned integer). Now as I would create a draw call for let's say an instance of 10000 objects how would I be able to sort these 10000 objects after their depth when it's just a single draw call that I'm creating.

BB, I had typed out the below comments for posting, and thought it better to send to you. I realize I am one person, but if there is one who thinks this, I am sure there are others.
BB, I am not sure in my mind what exactly this forum will accomplish. I'm a little foggy on the whole forum concept.
Seems that anyone really wanting to rip someone off, and make a few dollars, will not really care about a few people on Beesource.
The ligit companies I feel are human and prone to error. I think they also try to correct the problems when brought to thier attention. I do not think any of the major players in the beekeeping supplier business, has scammed or cons on some grand scale.
It seems most of the discussion is along the lines of commenting about good service, or petty bickering.
I am quickly changing my mind and willing to say, I am losing my warm fuzzies over this forum.
May I ask you to elaborate on the boards intent and structure? I can see its use in a narrow sense.
Last year there was a bee breeder who was way late in deliveries and refunds, and even that was lowered to those who felt taken advantage of, and the other side were those who felt as beekeepers we should give the guy as much slack as possible. The other two instances were the honey stick machine, and the rauchboy smoker business. In all three of these instances, I am not sure if all the posting on beesource could of changed much.
So to me, its about 98% fluff. And that comes from someone who knows fluff.
Is there anyway to contact and verify a members claims, prior to some business being hurt by someone's careless, or even intentional negative comments about someone's livelyhood? It would be a shame to have someone's business hurt by some person with a personal agenda, or a bone to pick. I think the potential harm can far outwiegh any possible benefit at this point. If there is a real problem, fine. But what happened to the "We are all beekeepers" concept. Seems that if there is a real problem, the details are clear and help can be summoned as needed by our vast numbers. Anything else below the level of an outright scam, seems like old bitty lady's gossiping and having nothing good to say.
Just speaking my mind. Thank you for reading.
I do not have any fancy letters after my name, no books published, and not many years experience. So please regard my contributions with the best intentions as just a member of this forum. Thank you.
Bjorn, thank you for your concern, and yes we should try to delineate the goals of this forum.
Barry defined the forum as "Share your experience with merchants and suppliers, both positive and negative."
I for one have had four different problems arise and three of those issues were resolved with the help of members here on BeeSource. Members here made it known to the suppliers that they had heard of the problem and were watching to see how the problem would be resolved.
Granted two of my issues were shipper involved, but there are messages that can be relayed to other members that they can benefit from. An example would be inspecting an order before signing the delivery slip. Once your have signed it you no longer can make a claim against the carrier. We can learn form others experiances.
This is what happened to me with an extractor I ordered from Brushy Mountain, it was called "hidden damage". That is damage that is not evident from the condition of the package, but is found when opened. When I called BM I got a 'too bad, tough luck' answer. The insurance they buy is no good if you sign for the shipment. Steve eventually called me and help make it right, but it took intervention of people here to get that done. They were NOT going to do anything before they were pressured into it.
I hold no grudge against BM and still order a great deal from them, however I would not had they not helped me out. There is more than one message to be learned here.
The majority of our dealings are with legit busineses, and no, they are not advertizing here to promote scams. I run my own business and know as well as anyone that problems arise. Not every customer can or will be 100% happy with their transaction, but there are times when the 'right' person did not get the message to be able to take care of the problem.
In the end this is a place, a forum, where you "Share your experience with merchants and suppliers, both positive and negative." We accept what is posted a truth as the poster sees it. We do not want to hurt a manufacturer or retailer, that serves no one. What we want to do is HELP our members learn through our experiances. Forewarned is forearmed.

Toyota is recalling over one million cars around the world for faulty air bags and defective windshield wipers though only a few New Zealand vehicles are affected.
The company is recalling 907,000 cars, mostly Corollas, because of air bags that can improperly inflate when the vehicle's electronic signals damage a chip in the part that controls the bags.
It is also recalling 385,000 Lexus IS luxury cars with wipers that can get stuck if there is heavy snowfall.
As part of the air bag recall, Toyota is recalling some 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix cars in the US, about 141,000 vehicles in Canada and thousands of similar vehicles in Japan and Mexico that were manufactured between December 2001 and May 2004. The part will be corrected to be able to block damaging signals.
But the recall does not affect any vehicles sold new in New Zealand and applied to just 16 used Toyota Voltz vehicles, imported by Toyota New Zealand.
It may also apply to a small number of used vehicles imported by other parties.
Toyota New Zealand general manager of customer services, Spencer Morris says, "Owners of known vehicles affected will be contacted by mail. Toyota will install a sub wire harness with diode to the airbag control module to remedy the problem."
In the affected units the front airbag could inadvertently deploy because of low resistance to electrical noise in the airbag control module.
Morris advises vehicle owners the remedial action will take about one hour and will be free.
In Japan, the company said there were no accidents related to either problem, but spokesman Naoto Fuse said that two crashes were reported in the US related to the air bag problem. Toyota had not been able to confirm them and Fuse said it is unclear whether anyone was injured in the two crashes.
Toyota has confirmed 18 cases in the US of abrasion-type injuries from the air bag problem, he said.
In total, the carmaker has received 46 reports of problems involving the air bags from North America, and one from Japan, and 25 reports of problems related to the windshield wipers.
The problem wipers affect three kinds of Lexus IS models, manufactured from May 2005 to October 2011, including 270,000 vehicles in the US and nearly 17,000 vehicles in Canada.
The recall also affects the Lexus IS sold in Europe, the Middle East and China, Toyota said.
No New Zealand new Lexus IS models are affected by the recall.
Toyota's reputation for top quality has been undermined in the past few years by massive recalls for a spate of problems, including bad brakes, accelerator pedals and floor mats, mostly in the US.
Executives have promised to beef up quality controls to repair Toyota's image.Toyota has announced some recalls recently, but they have been relatively minor, such as floor mats, and generally affect vehicles manufactured before its latest efforts to regain sterling quality.
Last month, Toyota agreed to pay more than US$1 billion ($1.2 billion) in America to settle lawsuits where vehicle owners said the value of their vehicles fell after the company recalled millions of vehicles because of sudden-acceleration issues.

The train comes at 11:17 and hits 15th and Locust at 11:40. This will give us time on both ends. There is a 11:02 train but that's cutting it too close for us I think.
As far as meeting up in Philly, just head to the corner of 15th and Locust and look for the pack.
we are a pretty distinctive bunch after all...
If you want to join us, just show up and join the party 8)
Hope you guys had a great time , our Pittsburgh,Pa. ride was fantastic , we should try to have a joint ride sometime in the middle of the state , maybe Gettysburg and ride the battlefield ?, or some other central location ?
Sounds good.
We blew it up in Philly yesterday...
Right on!... Great looking bikes... Thanks for posting the pics. :mrgreen:

Computer science faculty celebrate record NSF grants
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 30, 2007)--The UTSA Department of Computer Science is coming off a big year in competitive National Science Foundation (NSF) research funding and they're looking to build on that momentum.
This year, NSF awarded five competitive research grants to Department of Computer Science faculty for a total of more than $1.2 million. Having passed NSF's rigorous review process with notoriously low NSF funding percentages, these grants help solidify the department's commitment to achieving nationally recognized research excellence. These five new grants bring the total to 15 currently active NSF research grants by computer science faculty. The awarded grants fund cutting-edge research in multiple areas within computer science.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Ali Tosun, UTSA assistant professor of computer science, received a $300,000 NSF award for developing techniques to place data in parallel disks. His techniques will improve the performance of many applications that manage large datasets including biological applications, scientific visualization and geographical information systems.
Fellow NSF award recipient, Kleanthis Psarris, professor and chair of computer science, works on program analysis techniques and software development for multicore processors. Almost every standard desktop personal computer today contain more than one processor on a single chip (multicore) and are capable of executing multiple instructions in parallel. With his $200,000 grant, Psarris will advance the performance of software on multicore machines and help achieve higher performance in scientific applications.
Associate Professor William Winsborough's $180,000 NSF grant is in the emerging area of computer security. He will develop novel computer security systems that manage not only authorization (such as logging in to a computer), but also participant obligations. The ubiquitous use of security systems in corporate, government, military, and even personal applications shows the broad application field of Winsborough's research. He and his colleagues research in automated trust negotiation, which allows two parties to exchange digitally signed credentials that contain attribute information to establish trust and make access control decisions, was recognized by Microsoft as a leader in this emerging field Winsborough is one many UTSA Computer Science faculty members working in computer security, including recently hired Ravi Sandhu, director of the UTSA Institute for Cyber-Security Research.
Dakai Zhu, assistant professor of computer science, is working on real-time embedded systems, which are systems similar to the Mars rover. With his $180,000 NSF award he plans to design software to save energy consumption while providing reliable services for real-time embedded systems. With his software, such systems may double or triple operation times without downgraded system reliability.
In addition to the four regular NSF research grants, NSF awarded a $400,000 NSF CAREER award to Carola Wenk, UTSA assistant professor of computer science. The CAREER award is NSF's most prestigious honor for junior faculty members and supports exceptionally promising college and university faculty members committed to the integration of research and education. Wenk's research will advance geometric shape matching in theory and practice by integrating algorithms research into real-world applications. Her applied projects range from advancing image analysis in computational biology to incorporating the current traffic situation into in-car navigation systems using GPS tracking data from vehicles.
The Department of Computer Science has two faculty members with NSF CAREER awards.
"We receive this NSF funding because we perform cutting edge research," said Wenk. "With these grants the Department of Computer Science is making a big contribution to UTSA's goal to become a top tier research university."
But the department is not only celebrating research funding. As the interests continue to expand, so are the numbers of students applying for graduate programs in Computer Science at UTSA. An international recruiting campaign has helped bring in students from England, Germany, China, India and the United States. The Department of Computer Science is also producing a considerable number of Ph.D. graduates. In academic year 2006-07 six students completed their Ph.D. in Computer Science, a number they expect to match or exceed during the current academic year.
"Current research productivity of Computer Science faculty, an increasing number of peer reviewed publications in prestigious journals and conferences in the field, a higher number of competitive research grants, and the growing number of Ph.D. students and graduates, all but certain guarantee the UTSA Computer Science department's inclusion in the top 100 Computer Science departments in the United States in the near future," said Psarris.

Wtf is up with this site? How are these wild pictures? Because they sure aren't. If you want wild pictures, don't go looking here. She could be doing a lot worse. She took a few photos with her friends and she was having a good time. She probably wasn't doing anything she shouldn't be because she's a responsible girl. She deserves a break anyways and she's such a good mother that she should be able to have a fun Spring break getaway with her friends. If you think it's bad for her to have fun just because she has a son, look at the picture on the beach with all her friends. They all have drinks in their hands, except for her. Go Maci :) Best mom on Teen Mom for sure <3

Round 1 Bjoern Werner DE, Florida State Hes an instinctive/intense dude that will fit perfectly in the Giants defense scheme. Non-stop motor that hustles on every play and will be extreme value at #19.
Round 2 Larry Warford, OG Kentucky He Mauls and will be an instant impact player for the Giants. Boothe is only signed for one year and Snee is getting older. Its time to bring in some youth and Warford will be fantastic for David Wilsons game.
Round 3 Darius Slay, CB Miss. State . Jonathan Banks received most of the hype, which we can all understand. Slay was no joke and he can flat out fly. He has great size, speed and has the ability to play man coverage. CWeb is up there in age, Hosley is looking more like a situational corner and Prince cant do it alone.
Round 4 AJ Klein, ILB Iowa State . His game reminds me a lot of James Laurenitus. He is instinctive, good speed and likes to get dirty. Linebacker is a need for the Giants and Klein can be a nice addition.
Round 5 Kenny Stills, WR Oklahoma Quick, Fast and catches everything. Cruzs situation is still up in the air, Randle looks good on the outside with Nicks and Jernigan has yet to show anything.
Round 6 Joseph Fauria, TE UCLA Big strong target for Eli to develop. He has good hands and has shown the ability to provide good blocking. More of a receiving threat, but the Giants have the best TE coach in the NFL.
Round 7a William Campbell, DT Michigan Underrated guy that was a huge prospect coming out of high school. Michigans defense was solid and this guy was a big anchor in the middle. I think the problem with Campbell is consistency and from the games that I have watched he has had trouble getting off blocks. Intriguing fella.
Round 7b Kayvon Webster, CB/S South Florida I have been a huge fan of this kid for a while and his tape will show why. I am shocked that he has not received more hype and draft love. He is aggressive and can provide depth throughout the secondary. MY HIDDEN GEM!
