Well Preserved in Riverside
The Riverdale Inn • Jacksonville, FL
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Roosevelt or St. John's Room
- Daily Full Breakfast
- $30 Credit for On-Site Gum Bunch Pub
During the early 20th century, Jacksonville's one-percenters built mansions along the picturesque Riverside Avenue, which others nicknamed "The Row." As one of the last remaining homes, The Riverdale Inn, has a historic air—the original heart-of-pine floors and crown moldings are intact—with modern amenities, such as air conditioning (this is Florida!) and Internet access (this is the 21st century!).
"... thank goodness for preservation," says Frommer's. "Ten period guest rooms are available with antique rugs and furniture, some featuring canopy and four-poster beds and fireplaces, and all with free Wi-Fi connection for those who insist on the true retro-modern experience."
Situated in the Riverside neighborhood, you're five blocks or less from Memorial Park, shops and restaurants in Five Points, the Riverwalk, and The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, home to an impressive array of American, European, and Japanese masterpieces and English gardens set on the scenic St. Johns River. And it's just a short drive from downtown to Atlantic and Neptune Beaches, where you can surf, hunt for shells, or simply sprawl on the sand.
If you're the type that takes their tea in the afternoon with scones and tiny sandwiches, then you'll want to make reservations for the inn's tea service (an additional fee). And for those that need something stronger than tea, on-site Gum Bunch Pub serves it. In the morning, a full breakfast—which may include omelets, blueberry pancakes, bacon, and fruit—is on the house, and places like Jacksonville Beach and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery wait to be explored.
"Despite its age—more than a hundred years old—the mansion feels pristine and squeaky-clean inside and out. Guest rooms, some with fireplaces, are individually decorated to evoke the turn of the last century."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Riverdale Inn

text: Hi there! still waiting on pins and needles for my nucs! Im having this vague sort of fear that the bees will not have enough forage. Not all the hives will be in the same place, however. There is a lot of fallow ground in the immediate area of one of my spots, i was wondering if there is a good perennial, hearty, fast growing and essentially bullet proof flower that bees love that i can hand sow, sort of in the sprit of Johnny Apple seed, any help?

Rails are also being treated and I offered that service separate too.
They come out straight with no scale.
For you guys with a kiln I'm making a video because my set-up and times are totally different.
Here's some pic:
Thats a good price what is hardness rating?how long is turn around time?
Ok thanks do you give any discounts for multiple receivers?
Here's some of the research I have in these.
What is the discount on multi receivers?? I have a local heat treat shop that I was think about give some work to, but I have not gotten a price yet.. B2B
Here is a link to the main heat treating page: Heat Treating
Each category has discounts for multiples. If you have A LOT call me and we can work something out.
I have 6-7 but no rails so it would just be the receivers.. B2B

If you had to suggest an Electric fence controller which one would it be!
If you had to suggest an Electric fence controller which one would it be!
I assume the issue is bears. There are several issues. One is availability of electricity. If you have none they you either need a battery powered fencer (and a lot of trips to make sure it doesn't run dead) or you need a solar powered one. Solar powered ones are readily available at any farm store. The next issue is power. I would buy the one with the most joules that meets your other requirements. One method of measurement is joules, another is "miles of fence". You want a lot of "miles of fence" even if you only want a little fence as that is the power. The third issue is grounding. You need to insure that the bear gets grounded. Some people do this by alternating ground wires with hot wires. People also stake down hog panels on the ground with metal stakes. A good ground driven deep, of course, helps, and dumping five gallons of water on the stake every time you go out to the yard, also helps.
Now if you're just trying to keep horses out, most any fence charger will do that...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Either the Speedright AN-90 or the Gallagher B-11. Both use either D cell batteries or 12v deep cycle. You can add a solar panel for $35.
Both companies also maske 120v plug-in chargers.
No disrespect, but how many minutes could D cell batteries possibly last?
My fence shorts in heavy dew, design flaw of the conductors.
Trying techniques that I doubt will work because I like to be right!
We use the co-op 6v solar fencers. For bears, 5000v is best. Anything less and they will keep testing it until they can walk through it. Skunks need about 2000 if memory serves. We drive in a 6 foot ground rod into ground. Insulators are needed if you are connecting the fence to wood or treated wood posts The better the ground and the use of insulators the better your fencer will put out the required charge and helps the fencers last longer. As well, if you are buying a fencer, and the rest that goes with it, get a fence tester. There are a few on the market. Run from about $15 to $100. I do not like the 15 dollar one because it has these tiny fuse like things that light up for every 1000v. The light is not bright so hard to see in the day time. The one i have is about $40 something. All it does is give a digital readout of the output
We have a two different brands they are the Zareba Systems solar powered fencers. This brand of fencers just don't seem to last. Had a few new ones last season and one of them is already dead. Out of all 50+ fencers we have these seem to go bad the most. Most of the rest of the fencers are Parmak Solar powered fencers. When one of these goes bad they seem to be pretty old. Really nice fencers in my opinion.
Gulf Shores, AL
$60 Works great (first season yet)
My Zareba didn't make the second season
I have had several fencers over the years, my favorites were an old school (weed burner) co-op and a bulldog.
The co-op was purchased new and made 10-15 years, the bulldog was an auction item and it
lasted 3 years or so.
My home yard sports an old school "International" from an auction and is on its 2rd year.
My harbor freight unit is the first solar fencer I have had, it was new this spring so it
has yet to prove the longevity issue.
Have a circuit board kit to build my next unit this winter, battery powered/add solar panel.
I have a big black boar that makes the rounds here and I have watched him pass down by my creek, he did not even bother to check out my bees on top of the ridge.
It's my belief that he has been "trained"...LOL

I like Parmak electric fence chargers.
BEE HAPPY Jim 134
Parmak's solar fencer is what I like. Make sure you have a good ground. We use hog panels around the yard and a steel rod driven into the soil for a ground. Run 2 hot wires 6 inches out from this and have never had a bear go through.
I have slapped up a quick fence before also. It doesn't take a bear long to slap it down and start eating.
With all respect I do not believe a D cell will provide enough power or "juice" to shock a bear.
By "juice" I mean combined output (high) voltage and enough current to make a bear run.

I am having good luck with my FI-Shock fencers from Menards so far. The zarebas are junk. Mine did not last one season. I have deep cycle 12 volt batteries and a 15 watt solar panel and controller. Yes the 15 watts is over kill but over kill is better than under kill, lol. I have had two run ins with bears and i dont plan on letting a few dollars cost me another visit.
I read it on the internet so it must be so!
There is a big range of sophistication in fence charges. First the voltage of the power supply is not proportional to the outlet voltage. The battery voltage is multiplied many times and over a period of time is stored in a capacitor. As long as your fence is very clean of weeds and well insulated there is little current lost and at each cycle the battery only need top the capacitor up with what leaked between pulses. The D cells powered fencers will deaden the battery quite quickly if the fence gets shorted and has to totally charge an empty capacitor ever time.
Some of the cheap chargers are not well insulated internally and water wicks into the transformer and voltage jumps layer to layer of the windings. They are exposed to lightning as well and a better quality unit has more lives than the EverReady Cat.
If you have bear trouble, and you want to protect the bees from damage, spend the money on a good solar fencer.
Otherwise dont waste your time,
Calculate the value in your yard and estimate your costs in damages if a bear happens through. That will help justify the cost of a solar fencer.
If it doesnt, then go the cheaper route
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I just started using the Gallagher solar 17 . They have a good warrantee and are easy to handle. The Parmak's are nice but are kinda a pain to handle and hang on a post ,I usually set them on a box in the yard and tie them to a post. The Gallaghers sit on top of a T-post and come with alligator clamps to attach to the fence and ground. They also cost less than the Parmak's.
Clear Lake Wi. / Sebring Fl.
Just a thought about solar fencers.
Many times the fencer will go bad forcing you to buy a new whole unit as greenbeekeeping can testify too. If you build a solar fencer system as I did, if one component goes bad you dont need to replace the whole works. If my fencer goes I can replace it for 70 bucks or less, the solar panel is 80, the battery is 65. If my panel goes bad I can replace the battery with the one in my truck and not panic until I receive another. The solar panel is over kill and a sufficient one would be around 50. My solar system cost about $220 but with a smaller solar panel and a smaller battery you could build it for less than 180 I would think. A good name brand solar fencer will cost this much or more anyway.
Also, unlike the all in one solar fencers, I dont have to worry about a weak fence if there is a lack of sun for days or weeks. My 12 volt battery will hold a good charge for over a month even if wires are in contact with weeds without a charge.

Zareba change the location of the circuit board from the bottom inside the unit to the side. The problem is moisture inside that shorts them out. New circuit boards are cheap and easy to replace. 20 Zarebas.........I can now rebuild them with my eyes closed....LOL

How much are the circuit boards? Do you order them direct fro Zarebas?

text: Their defense. Plain and simple. They are playing lights out and we haven't beaten a team this year that is playing their level of defense. We beat two great offenses (Pats and Packers) but not a great defensive team. It's a whole new bowl of wax. We need our defense to get some turnovers and play even better than theirs. I also think they have an advantage on special teams which can mean a lot in the playoffs. We have to have a quick start and put up some points and break their spirits early.

Responsibility Economy & Society
Economy & Society
Credit Suisse and its employees have been working with selected partner organizations around the world for many years to help address social challenges and improve the living standards of disadvantaged people.
Our Role in the Economy and Society
By operating responsibly and efficiently, we create value for our clients and shareholders worldwide. At the same time, we make an important contribution to the functioning of the economy through our banking activities and play a constructive role in society.
As a global financial institution, Credit Suisse is closely interconnected with the economy and society and has responsibilities towards a wide range of stakeholders. Our primary function is to act as a reliable financial partner to our clients, providing services and advice to meet their individual needs. At the same time, we make a direct contribution to the economy in our role as a financial intermediary, bringing together lenders and borrowers of capital around the world – from companies and public sector bodies to private individuals and institutions. This includes supplying businesses with the capital they require to expand their activities and drive innovation, thus helping to foster economic growth and job creation.
Dialogue with Regulators – International Reforms and Regulatory Developments
International Coordination of Regulatory Measures
To maintain financial market stability while ensuring a level playing field for international financial centers, it is essential for regulatory measures to be coordinated globally. This is especially critical in view of the cumulative effects that stricter bank regulations can have on the economy. For example, the restriction of banking activities as a result of higher regulatory requirements can stifle economic growth, with negative consequences for the labor market. Credit Suisse strives to balance the interests of its shareholders and the concerns of the regulatory authorities, legislators and other stakeholders within society, while focusing on the needs of clients.
"Too Big to Fail"
The fact that Credit Suisse has never had to turn to the government for support at any point in our history of 160 years demonstrates that we are able to conduct our business activities by maintaining a solid capital base and sound risk appetite and proactively meeting the demands of investors and regulators. In recent years, we have actively contributed to efforts to develop a solution to the "Too Big to Fail" issue and strengthen system stability. We basically share the public view that it should be possible for even systemically relevant financial institutions to fail without having to resort to bailouts that are funded using taxpayers' money.
Under legislation approved in September 2011 and revised in the summer of 2016, Switzerland imposes significantly higher capital requirements on its big banks than those prescribed by the international standards. Credit Suisse supports these measures because we recognize the responsibility that we have toward society in our role as a major bank. However, in order to preserve the international competitiveness of the Swiss financial center, it is necessary for national regulation to take into account the specific features of the liberal Swiss economy while at the same time ensuring compatibility with global regulatory developments.
Credit Suisse as a Client and Contractual Partner, and Supply Management
Credit Suisse also makes an indirect contribution to the economy in a variety of ways, including in our role as a consumer. In 2015, we purchased a total of CHF 7 billion of goods, services and licenses from suppliers around the globe. We are committed to conducting our business in an ethical, legal, and socially and environmentally responsible manner. The relationships that we build with our supply partners help to guarantee the quality and value of the products and services we source and are also a means of ensuring that they assume their corporate responsibilities appropriately.
Supplier Code of Conduct
We require suppliers to meet strict standards in areas such as business ethics and integrity, employee health and safety or environmental protection, as defined in our Supplier Code of Conduct (PDF).
Supply Management Values
Credit Suisse values integrity in all our dealings. The Supply Management core values form the basis on which we build the relationships with our supplier community.
Supplier Selection and Engagement
We want to work with suppliers who share our values to deliver excellent services to our clients. We establish and maintain relationships with small local and large international suppliers, selected on meritocracy.
Supplier Diversity Program
Credit Suisse cares about establishing relationships with small and medium sized businesses who are often underrepresented in supplying the needs of major corporations. A diverse supply base helps Credit Suisse provide flexible, innovative and best quality solutions at the best price.
Credit Suisse as a Taxpayer
Our role as a taxpayer is another way in which we contribute to society and ultimately to the economy. Over the past five years, Credit Suisse has paid an annual average of CHF 0.8 billion in corporate income tax worldwide. The bank is also subject to other taxes that are not related to income, which totaled around CHF 0.6 billion in 2015 alone.
Our Role in Switzerland
The importance of banks for the development and growth of the economy is illustrated by our activities in our home market of Switzerland. Under the new organizational structure that we announced in October 2015, we established a Swiss Universal Bank division in Switzerland, where we are a trusted financial partner to approximately 100,000 companies or around 1 in 3 businesses. We are especially committed to supporting the export sector and we provide international payment operations, trade finance and other services that are essential to do business in the global marketplace. Supplying financial expertise and advice to the economy is another aspect of our work.
A number of activities that Credit Suisse performs in Switzerland are viewed as systemically relevant due to their importance for the functioning of the economy. They include deposit-taking and lending. At the end of 2015, Credit Suisse had around CHF 156 billion of loans outstanding, including mortgages and loans to private sector companies, the public sector and private clients. Credit Suisse is also a long-term strategic financial partner to a number of multinational foreign companies that are domiciled in Switzerland.
With around 17,400 employees based in Switzerland, we are also one of the country's largest employers. We play a key economic and social function by providing attractive career opportunities across the full spectrum of banking, paying appropriate compensation and offering development prospects for talented individuals.
In our home market of Switzerland, we not only engage in an open dialogue with politicians that involves the regular exchange of information and ideas but also actively support the functioning of the Swiss "militia" system of politics, where Swiss citizens assume roles in political bodies at federal, cantonal or community level alongside their regular professions. Consequently, Swiss members of parliament are not professional politicians and the parties do not receive state funding. In order to support the functioning of this system, Credit Suisse offers working time arrangements to employees in Switzerland who hold an elected public office in their local community alongside their role at the bank. These individuals are permitted to devote up to 20% of their working hours to a public role while receiving their full salary from the bank – irrespective of their party affiliation and views.
Another important way in which Credit Suisse helps to strengthen the "militia" system in Switzerland and promote political diversity is by making financial contributions available to political parties that request funding, irrespective of their political agenda and position. This financial support does not give rise to any obligations among the political parties that receive it. The only factor that influences the support given by the bank is the number of parliamentary mandates held by each party at cantonal and federal level: To be eligible, a party must have at least five seats in the Federal Assembly (Swiss parliament). This transparent approach – based on objective criteria – enables Credit Suisse to make a politically neutral contribution to support the work of the parties in performing functions of state. Credit Suisse makes a maximum of CHF 1 million of financial support available each year for this purpose. This is a long-term commitment and is reviewed regularly. This support is exclusive to Credit Suisse's home market; the bank does not offer financial support to political parties in other countries. In the US, however, employees have the option of making voluntary private donations within the bank through a Political Action Committee.
Working with Swiss Business to Drive Growth
SVC – Ltd. for Risk Capital for SMEs was founded by Credit Suisse and the Swiss Venture Club in 2010. The Credit Suisse subsidiary invests venture capital in innovative Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with growth potential. For five years, SVC – Ltd. for Risk Capital for SMEs has performed pioneering work that produced positive overall results. It has provided a total of CHF 80 million of venture capital to 36 companies during this time with the aim of helping to create or preserve jobs in order to sustainably strengthen Switzerland as a center of industry. Success stories range from ASIC Robotics AG, a leading supplier of high-tech mechanical engineering solutions, to the personal care and cleaning products manufacturer Temmentec as well as the specialist baker Bäckerei Hug – all of which have expanded their business with the support of SVC – Ltd. for Risk Capital for SMEs. The amount invested usually ranges from CHF 1 million to CHF 5 million per firm. The portfolio companies, which are active in a variety of industries, currently employ 1,780 people. In addition, they hold more than 300 patents, reflecting their ability to innovate.
Youth Unemployment Initiative and Youth Barometer
Credit Suisse launched its Youth Unemployment Initiative in 2009 and invested a total of up to CHF 30 million in projects offering specific support to young people. In view of the success of these projects, which have helped more than 8,800 young people, we considered it important for these programs to continue after the original initiative ended in March 2015. Credit Suisse and the SVC Foundation for Entrepreneurship therefore worked with the initiative's partner organizations to launch a new association – "Check Your Chance" – in 2015 to transition the Youth Unemployment Initiative to an independent national platform that is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). Check Your Chance and its members focus on helping young people to obtain professional training and integrate into the labor market. We have found that despite their efforts, thousands of young adults are unable to find first-time employment after completing an apprenticeship or finishing a degree. The longer this phase lasts, the more difficult it becomes for them to secure a job. The situation is equally difficult for young people who have not yet obtained initial training. This is where Check Your Chance can help: It intervenes at an early stage to offer targeted support to prevent young people from being confronted with the financial and social challenges of unemployment.
Reflecting our commitment to engaging in a dialogue with the younger generation, we conduct the annual Youth Barometer survey, which spans four countries on four continents. The results provide an insight into the lifestyle, problems and attitudes of young people aged 16 to 25. The latest Youth Barometer highlighted the extent to which young people act and think digitally, with over 85% describing the Internet as a significant or indispensable part of their lives. These findings give us a better understanding of the needs of our younger generation of clients and employees.

LA GRANDE, Ore. – Oregon Tech's Ethan Schlecht (Ashland, Ore.) and Ryan Hayden (Grants Pass, Ore.) were named to the All-NAIA West Group Team, while Owl shortstop Tyson Dahl (Winston, Ore.) earned Gold Glove honors, announced Sunday by the league office.
Schlecht (pictured), a sophomore third baseman for the Owls, earned All-NAIA West recognition for the second-straight season, while Hayden and Dahl earned their respective awards for the first time.
Individual awards went to Lewis-Clark State College's Jake Shirley named NAIA West Group Player of the Year by a vote of the Group's head coaches.
Pitcher of the Year hardware will be awarded to Jake Kopra of Corban University (Ore.). The senior right-hander from Gresham, Ore. led the Group with a 10-0 record in 101 1/3 innings.
After finishing 20-8 to lead the University of British Columbia to the No. 1 seed in the 2014 NAIA West Group tournament and a 30-plus win regular season, the Thunderbirds' Terry McKaig was selected as Coach of the Year by the other seven head coaches. Complete 2014 All-NAIA West Group Baseball Postseason Honors
Schlecht led the Owls with a .359 batting average, including 55 hits with two doubles and a triple to go with 27 RBI. Hayden led Tech with 59 hits and batted .311 on the season. Hayden also led the team with five homeruns and tied for top honors with 12 doubles, while driving in 27 runs. Hayden, in his last game for the Owls, drove in a NAIA West record 11 runs to finish out his senior season.
Dahl, a shortstop in his junior year with the Owls, recorded 159 assists, 68 putouts in 244 chances. Dahl started all 48 games for Tech recording just 17 errors on the year. With the bat Dahl connected for 53 hits to go with 10 doubles, three triples and two doubles while driving in 24 and hitting .282.

Nope- I took them both off since there wasn't going to be any honey.
Hi, All,
Thank you again for all the help. I did a deeper inspection today. There is definitely robbing going on (or attempts at least). I saw bees fighting in the grass this afternoon. I went to take a picture of this for my boyfriend who was shocked by the idea of bee fights. When I came back out, there was a giant carpenter bee trying to get in there. Attached are a few photos. Watching my bees fend it off was truly an amazing thing to see.
In any case, I have on entrance reducers since a couple days ago. I see that they are storing what I'm feeding them, but there are not many stores in there. Hopefully I will be able to give them enough to feed them.
(click for big versions)
I wouldn't say you have robbing per se, but with the entrance feeder you will have other bees coming to feed and that's probably what the fighting is about. Poor carpenter bee was probably like look at this nice wood, I just wanna bore a few holes in it..... Looks like you have nice pollen coming in at least too. Good luck with it.
- With regard to the bullying private message, go to that member's profile and add them to your 'ignore list'. You don't have to put up with that foolishness.
- Feed your bees.
- Get smart about your bees. My two favorite sites aside from this forum are here and here.
- Find a mentor at a local bee club, or here on this forum if you can't find what you need locally.
The two sites above differ somewhat in their approach, but they both have solid advice.
Good luck
Added: I do not recommend the boardman feeder for anything except water on a very hot day!!!!....It encourages robbing. The two links above give good background on feeding.
You really need an experienced eye at this point to determine whether you have a queen and brood or not. That is the biggest issue. Without a queen and brood the colony is doomed.

...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
A hive in my area had AFB last year and I was wary of encouraging other bees to come visit my hive and food sources, so when I put my package in the hive this spring, I put an empty super on top, put the feeder in there (the top inner cover had a hole in it so bees could visit the feeder from inside the hive), and then put the hive cover on top of that. A secure feeding station that only my hive bees knew about.
Buy a hive top feeder from Kelley Bees, you will never get enough stores in there with a Boardman entrance feeder, they just cannot get it out fast enough.
The Kelley feeder holds 4 gallons, and several thousand bees can get up there at once, if you put one on and fill it will 2:1 syrup I bet the bees will suck down at least a gallon a day and store most of it as honey.
You have lots of pollen going in and that's good, but you really need a hivetop feeder to get them ready for winter, they need at least 4 gallons of 2:1, and more if they will take it. Probably 20 lbs of sugar twice should get you in good shape.
I have a hive top feeder in addition to the entrance feeder. Bought 30 pounds of sugar this morning to make 2:1 syeyp for my 2 hives so hopefully that will get them a good start on creating winter stores.

Read my review - 2/5 stars
But who really cares about rain when you're diving? One you're below the surface, you're wet anyways and the waves don't really matter anymore.
Within a minute or two of our descent, our first sea turtle flew over us. Yes, flew. They flap their front fins and lift off and move more effortlessly than a bird. I've been dying to see a turtle, but it didn't happen in Thailand. Now they are everywhere! Flying overhead, on the sand, at cleaning stations...I can't keep up!
We saw lots of different fish and a ridiculously huge barracuda (at least 6 feet) and my new spotted sweet lips :) Some blue spotted rays which were so fast if you didn't see them right away, you missed them completely. We even saw a cuttle fish that dodged around from place to place changing colours as he went. On the 2nd day I could hear dolphins in the water, but didn't see them anywhere.
We even got to swim around an old wreak. What an unearthly experience swimming into the blue. Suddenly in the distance you start to see something. A few blinks and a few kicks closer and things start to come into focus until it's right there in great detail!
Brian unfortunately missed a dive as he wasn't feeling well. We think he's trying too hard to conserve his air (to dive for longer periods of time). Over time this can cause a build up of Co2 and gives bad headaches. After 2 dives with headaches he made himself sick. Luckily it's easily rectified, all he has to do is BREATH! Thankfully, a little rest and he was fine.
Time seems to stop when diving. As soon as you're beneath the surface sounds dull and light
But even the surface is a little different out here. Some beautiful little islands out in the water. One was only inhabited by a small group of 'sea gypsies' who make their living off the sea. Most of us would spend millions to live where they do! They're homes are perched over the water, they're children play in the sand everyday, and they're out on boats most of the time. What a life!

text: Re: Ric Bucher Reports - Gordon and Villanueva to the Pistons Is he really? Or did he just have one spectacular series against BOS and got hyped up? I've watched the Bulls mainly b/c of Ben Wallace and then b/c of Rose, and he's good, but he's wildly inconsistent. And was easily neutralized when we played them in the playoffs. I also remember our PG/SG lighting the Bulls up and them eventually trying to find somewhere to hide Gordon defensively. I agree on the age thing, but Rip is also in absolute great physical shape. How much and how fast would he start to decline? I don't know. The Bulls fans vary between praising him and wanting to trade him b/c of his turnover in the clutch. I feel like that's where i am. He's good. He can get better. But i'm not sold. Him having to guard the opposing SG's makes me nervous. edited to add; And why i'm contemplating this at almost 3:30 a.m. i don't know LOL.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The -: expensive apartment for a very small area. Very uncomfortable bed mattresses used in foam. A blocked store. Bedside lamp does not work, kc bulb, I replaced. Very noisy place (bvd François Grosso) forcing to sleep closed window.
The pros: clean apartment. door machine in the bathroom. secure apartment door. good condition.
Les - : appartement cher pour une surface très réduite. Lit très inconfortable sur matelas usagé en mousse. Un des store bloqué. Lampe de chevet ne marche pas, ampoule kc, je l'ai remplacée. Lieu très bruyant (bvd François Grosso) obligeant de dormir fenêtre fermée.
Les + : appart propre. porte linge dans la sdb. porte appart sécurisée. bon état général.
Salvatore welcomed us at his agency and gave us heaps of tips for exploring Nice. In addition to that, the apartment was equipped with a 20-pages brochure about Nice and surroundings, including getting there by bus or train.
The apartment was well maintained and clean and is within walking distance to all major locations in Nice. Outside the building, there are several bus stops, supermarkets (already spotted by Salvatore) and a bike hiring station (Vélo bleu).
We've enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend Salvatore.
Thanks again and see you :)
Salvatore is a super nice host.
The handover of the apartment worked without problems.
The apartment was clean and mainly corresponds broadly to uploaded photos. The apartment is very centrally located for a city break.
There are grademal 5 minutes to the train station. Around the corner is a small "Boulangerie" where you can stock up with fresh baguette in the morning etc. low and croissants, Parisien. Our apartment (no. 5) faced the courtyard. so you have not heard anything from the street noise. For large central shopping street, it is also just 1 minute. If you look down this one can already see the sea. For 1.50 EUR You can also take the tram.
Merci et a bientot Salvatore :)
Salvatore ist ein super netter Gastgeber.
Die Übergabe der Wohnung hat problemlos geklappt.
Das Appartment war vor allem sauber und entspricht in großen und ganzen den eingestellten Fotos. Das Appartment liegt für eine Städtreise sehr zentral.
Zum Bahnhof sind es grademal 5 Minuten. Um die Ecke liegt eine kleine "Boulangerie" wo man sich morgens mit frischen Baguette und Croissants, Parisien etc. günstig eindecken kann. Unser Appartment (Nr. 5 ) lag zum Innenhof. sodass man vom Straßenlärm nichts mitbekommen hat. Zur großen zentralen Einkaufsstraße ist es auch nur 1 Minute. Wenn man diese herunterschaut kann man schon das Meer sehen. Für 1,50 EUR kann man auch die Tram nehmen.
Merci et a bientot Salvatore :)
It was a good choice to stay at Salvatores Apartment. It's central, not very big but enought for a citytrip and it is equipped with all necessary things!

- Good bus / to the train station
- To get close only Pizza
- I will not book this offer again - my holiday it did not beautified
Keine Weiterempfehlung - trotz nettem Vertreter des Vermieters
- Haus ist alt und abgewohnt (Renovierung im Flur war im Gange)
- es riecht muffig und schimmlig
- Fenster zum stickigen und dreckigen Hinterhof / Lärmpegel und Geruch enorm
- es ist keine Wohnung/Studio (Nr.3) - kl. Zimmer mit Küchenzeile und mit Bad (steht das Bett, ist alles dicht)
- es sind mehrere Zimmer mit Bad in dieser Wohnung - man hört alles

- in der Nähe nur Pizza zu bekommen
- ich werde dieses Angebot nicht nochmal buchen - meinen Urlaub hat es nicht verschönt
My mom and 'was very glad for the location of the study, confortable and quiet.
Good reception. I would recommend for the position.
Mia mamma e' stata molto contenta per la posizione dello studio, confotevole e tranquillo.
Buona l'accoglienza . Lo consiglierebbe per la posizione.
The location for me was perfect as very easy reachable by public transport from the airport and really only a 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The handling of the keys was absolutely on time - I did not had to wait one single second. Everything was superclean and the bathroom is totally new with a nice shower and a hairdryer.
Personnally speking, I found it a bit too functional - a bit too sober... there was no decoration like e.g. a little picture on the wall or anything.
And I would not recommend it for two people as it has just a sofa (no real bed) and for 2 people I consider it to be too small. Besides, you are sleeping directly next to the fridge that I had to switch off at night to be able to sleep.
You better bring earplugs with you, as the walls seem to be very thin and as there is another apartment right next to yours, you will hear EVERYTHING from your neighbours (in my case I was waking up every night by hearing them having sex and talking until 3 o clock at night).
It was ok for a short stay but I would recommend it more to younger people who just need a place to sleep. I would not have really liked to stay inside (e.g. in case of bad weather).
In my case, I was very unlucky, as I was arriving 3 days later and leaving 1 day earlier as originally booked because of a strike of the french air traffic controllers and I was informing Salvatore directly about this problem. Of course it was absolutely neither his fault nor problem, but I would have considered it to be nice to be reimbursed for at least 1 or 2 nights of the 4 ones I could not use the apartment.
WIMDU does not want to be involved into problems like that. They recommended me to deal about this directly with the owner. As soon as the booking is done and payed, they don't care anymore.
So next time, subjectively speaking, I think I will get back to booking a hotel in oldschool manner but objectively, everything was ok with the apartment.
Location and condition of the home good, the equipment was good too
The staircase is very old and musty
Lage und Zustand der Wohnung gut, die Ausstattung war auch gut
Das Treppenhaus ist sehr alt und muffig
Thanks! Great organization, nice location & flat with a lot of extras. We had a great time in Nice.
Studio has little in common with photos on Wimdu. All the extras in an apartment on the photographs that beautifully embellish them is a fiction. It is dark, the windows overlook the courtyard and trash result that stinks. The staircase dirty, not cleaned for a long time. The apartment had not been vacuumed, dirty under the bed, the bathroom door dusty. In the description of a washer and dryer, which was not in reality. The apartment has no ventilation so it is a fungus, is mold in closets. The kitchen is very poorly equipped, lacking knives to bread, meat, chopping boards. There is also no iron. The beds were unmade. Came a boy, he threw us a bedding package and all that. I feel cheated, because the pictures look quite different - not as a studio booked. I do not recommend.
Studio niewiele ma wspólnego ze zdjęciami na wimdu. Wszystkie dodatki w mieszkaniu na zdjęciach, które pięknie je upiększają to fikcja. Jest ciemne, okna wychodzą na podwórko i śmietnik skutkiem czego śmierdzi. Klatka schodowa brudna, nie sprzątana od dawna. Mieszkanie nie zostało odkurzone, brudno pod łóżkiem, drzwi do łazienki zakurzone. W opisie jest pralko suszarka, której nie było w rzeczywistości. Mieszkanie nie posiada żadnej wentylacji więc jest w nim grzyb, w szafach jest pleśń. Kuchnia jest bardzo ubogo wyposażona, brakuje noży do chleba, mięsa, deski do krojenia. Nie ma też żelazka. Łóżka nie były zaścielone. Przyszedł jakiś chłopak, rzucił nam pakiet pościeli i to wszystko. Czuję się oszukana, ponieważ na zdjęciach wygląda to zupełnie inaczej - nie takie studio rezerwowałam. Nie polecam.

Relay Health-Online Ease
Eisenhower Patients Get Connected
For the past year, Eisenhower Medical Center patients have been able to communicate with their physicians on emc.org, by using an innovative online program in partnership with RelayHealth®, a leading provider of health care connectivity services. The program allows participating Eisenhower physicians to have secure, easy online access to patient information, and gives patients electronic access to a variety of personal management tools and informational resources. The program provides an electronic personal health record, and allows patients to use the Internet to send secure messages to doctors, request office appointments, view lab results, request referrals, refill prescriptions and receive health information — all from the convenience of their own computer.
Joseph E. Scherger, MD, MPH, says RelayHealth is a secure online communications channel that gives Eisenhower patients access to a growing number of services.
"I tell my patients to think of using RelayHealth in the same way they use online banking," Dr. Scherger says."Many different services are right there at your fingertips, and you feel confident that your communications are secure and protected. Eisenhower's electronic system is based on the same principle as your bank's site — the convenience of online communication, and the assurance of privacy and security."
Dr. Scherger says that Eisenhower patients can request appointments online, pre-register for many hospital procedures, access their personal health records and receive test results online. He says the system will continue to expand, with new patient services consistently added."The new program is an important part of eisenhower's commitment to using technology to provide the highest quality care and the best patient experience."
"Soon, RelayHealth at Eisenhower will be able to give patients almost everything they need in one place," Dr. Scherger says. "Eisenhower systems will allow patients to manage their preventive care online, and automatically schedule appointments for things like mammograms, flu shots and regular check-ups." Dr. Scherger says the RelayHealth team is also developing a comprehensive online library of patient education materials, information that has been recommended by Eisenhower physicians, so patients will know it is information they can trust.
Among the major services that have been added to the program since its launch in 2008 is the delivery of patient test results online, and the option for patients to pre-register electronically for select appointments. The latter is currently available in several departments at Eisenhower, including cardiology, inpatient and outpatient radiology, and pulmonary, and will continue to be rolled out hospitalwide over the next year. The Web-based service will make the admissions process easier and more comfortable for patients, and more efficient for hospital staff.
David Perez, Chief Information Officer at Eisenhower Medical Center, says the new program is an important part of Eisenhower's commitment to using technology to provide the highest quality care and the best patient experience. "It's our continuing vision of utilizing RelayHealth as our method of connecting the patient, the hospital and the physician," Perez said. "We believe improving threeway communication will ultimately improve patient care and patient safety."

Ford Econoline Wagon Models and Econoline Wagon History
Previous identified as the Club Wagon, Fords passenger version of their full-sized van was renamed the Econoline Wagon in 1999. Configurable to fit up to 15 passengers, the Econoline Wagons abundant interior space made it attractive for large families as well as for a commercial shuttle. Offered as the E-150 half-ton and E-350 one ton model, both versions featured a regular length while the one-ton variant also included an extended length option.
1999 Ford Econoline Wagon was available with a variety of engines. Standard power for the Econoline Wagon E-150 came from a 195-horsepower 4.2-liter V-6 engine. The half-ton version of the 1999 Ford Econoline Wagon was also available with a 4.6-liter V-8 and a 5.4-liter Triton V-8 powerplant. The 5.4-liter engine is standard on the 1999 E-350 van while a 6.8-liter Triton V-10 and 7.3-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel producing up to 425 pounds-feet of torque was available. Air conditioning, anti-lock braking system and dual front airbags were included as standard equipment on 1999 Ford Econoline Wagon. In 2001, Ford dropped the Econoline name for their full-sized van deciding instead to classify it as the E-Series. That same year, Ford created the Traveler model of the half-ton E-150 van with the intention of attracting large families. The Traveler trimmed version of the passenger van lasted only two years featuring power windows, rear air conditioning and cassette player as standard fare.
Following a 2003 model year revision to the Ford E-Series passenger van, the 7.3-liter Power Stroke was replaced with a torquer 6.0-liter Power Stroke engine in 2004. In 2008, the Ford E-Series passenger van was completely redesigned featuring a grille and headlight appearance borrowed from the Super Duty truck line. The Transit Wagon replaced the Econoline-derived version of the E-Series in 2015.

According to the help for xtabond,
maxldep(#) sets the maximum number of lags of the dependent variable
that can be used as instruments. The default is to use all
T_i-p-2 lags.
But if you need more control over lag structure and the like than -xtabond- offers, have a look at David Roodman's -xtabond2-.
Hope this helps.

Adventures this year
Happy birthday!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday and thanks for sharing your adventures. JackReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Jill. I have enjoyed the ride!ReplyDelete
Happy B-day Jill...so very sorry you can't go for a ride...but hey...it can ALWAYS be worse!ReplyDelete
You'll be back soon...though not soon enough I'm sure you are thinking. Sometimes having a bit of downtime is just what's needed. I've always believed in the karma thing...that stuff happens for a reason. You may never know why, but if you pay attention, there might just be a silver lining in this for you somehow.
I guess it's a perspective thing...is your cup half full or half empty? Only you can decide. Here's hoping it's 'half full' with something extremely tasty! Heal fast!
Love the haiku. Happy Birthday!ReplyDelete

We make every effort, within the limits of our available financial aid resources, to assure that no qualified students will be denied the opportunity to attend Guilford College simply because they lack adequate funds. Fortunately, financial assistance is available in a variety of forms from federal and state government resources to help students who meet academic and financial need requirements.
All CCE students are strongly encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The 2017-2018 FAFSA can be filed beginning October 1, 2016 and it is recommended for students to file the application by February 15, 2017 to maximize your eligibility for financial aid. If you have any questions regarding the FAFSA or financial aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 336.316.2354 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are weighing the benefits of an adult education in North Carolina against the financial strain that it may cause, it's important to know that Guilford College is dedicated to removing financial barriers by assisting you in every way possible to achieve your education goals.
*Subject to Change
A student may change registration and add courses through the end of the drop/add period, which is defined as one week and one class day after the first official day of classes in each session. Students making changes during the drop/add period will have their charges reassessed. CCE students who remain enrolled at Guilford for at least four credit hours may obtain a full refund for regular, intensive or Fast Track courses dropped through the last day to add such courses. No adjustments or refunds are made after this day. Any course changes must be completed in the CCE office or the Registrar's office. As a result of such changes, financial aid awards that require half-time or full-time enrollment for the term will be canceled in accordance with state and/or federal requirements.
Withdrawal from Guilford is official only after a Withdrawal Form is completed and submitted to the registrar by the Center for Continuing Education. A request to the registrar for an academic transcript shall not be considered a notice of withdrawal from the college. If withdrawal occurs prior to the first day of classes, 100 percent of all tuition and fees are refunded. After the first day of classes, the refund is based on U.S. Department of Education requirements. A refund schedule can be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Services.
Any non-attending student who fails to submit a cancel/withdrawal form before the first day of class will be charged a $300 late fee and could be responsible for charges up to full tuition and fees; charges are based on the date the form is received by CCE.

Faced with the prospect of winning or going home, your Montreal Canadiens went 5-1 a year ago.
That was then.
They have to beat the Bruins at the Bell Centre to stay alive. And if they need an inspirational example, the Lightning staved off elimination on home ice last night.
A good omen: The Montreal Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet is playing the national anthems before Game 6.
The Canadiens have never lost a game preceded by the MSO Five.

We're offering a sale right now on our bee jackets. $45.00 and shipped free! I have hundreds of each size in stock ready to ship same day!
We're offering a sale right now on our bee jackets. $45.00 and shipped free! I have hundreds of each size in stock ready to ship same day!
Orders placed for jackets are shipped the same day if ordered before 2:00pm.
what cloth type material are the jackets made from ?
Any reviews available ?
They are a poly/cotton blend. I have been selling these jackets from the same manufacturer for 4 years now. I have sold well in the thousands of these jackets in that time frame. Of those jackets sold, I have had 3 returned. There was a defect in the zipper on 2 of them and the 3ed was due to the elastic in the bottom of the jacket breaking. I guarantee these jackets, so if you have an issue with them you can exchange them for a new one.
OK Chris, thanks for the info.
I'm a newbee shopping for a hooded type jacket
Will be considering yours.
are these pullover or zipper up the front? i can not quite tell from the picture..thanx
Zipper in the front..
What chest sizes would your medium and large run Chris ?
Metal or nylon zipper ?
Anyone here have any experience with these jackets, comfort , visibility etc ?
Price looks good .
I will measure it out and let you know a little later. The way I tell people to judge the size is based on a lightweight jacket or wind breaker that your currently wear.
The zippers are nylon.
So here is the way we work at H.T. Krantz. We use what we carry. If I we don't think its good enough for us to use then we simply do not carry it. My employees constantly tell me to stop taking stuff of the shelves. (It does't help that I keep forgetting to update inventory when I do take stuff off the shelf) During the bee season I wear one of these exact same jackets every day, granted I have 3 or 4 different jackets in my different vehicles. Either way have still used the same 3 or 4 since we started using this manufacturer. They all get beat equally, and I am still very happy with them.

There is constant discussion concerning the existence or non-existence of global warming, but there is no doubt east Africa is experiencing a drought of monumental proportions. cross East Africa, there is an extraordinary drying up of rivers, grasslands, scorching crops and threat to millions of people who face the prospect of starvation. In Kenya, which has a robust economy, rivers that feed game preserves and ensure that hydropower can produce electricity simply are not feeding in water. Sarticho Lenelo noted: "since I was a young man the droughts would come, but these were changes we could cope with. Now, there are carcasses all over and most of the people have lost their animals. Soon the people will start dying."
In the 1970s there was a major drought every once in the decade. In the 1980s this quickened to once every seven years. In the 1990s, it became once every five years. So nice to know there is no global warming. Tell that to the people of east Africa.

Reviews of this property
Anna is a wonderful host. The apartment is fine; everything is clean and new. The apartment initially seemed a bit out of the way, but actually, there is a metro 5 minutes away and there is actually quite a lively area with cafe's and restaurants 5 minutes along the canal as well. Walking to Duomo took about 25 minutes.
Anna è una Sig.ra originale e moto disponibile che saluto con simpatia. Nel suo piccolo appartamento ai Navigli abbiamo alloggiato in 4 e siamo state molto bene perché silenziosissimo e molto ordinato; comodo alla Metro e ai pittoresco navigli.- Abbiamo inoltre trovato tutto quello che ci serviva, dallo zucchero al hi-fi e dunque lo consiglio! Laura F.
Aus meiner Erfahrung mit der Vermieterin kann ich nur jedem empfehlen, sich genau zu erkundigen, was einen an Ort und Stelle erwartet. D.h.: Ausstattung der Küche, Schlafgelegenheiten, Reinigung, internet. Die Vermieterin und ich gingen von sehr verschiedenen Voraussetzungen aus.
Ich kann daher diese Unterkunft, vor allem für diesen Preis, nicht empfehlen.
Experience très agréable. Notre hote Anna a été vraiment un "tesoro"!
Tout était parfait
Reviews for this host's other properties
Anna herself was very friendly and helpful! But she was not not staying at the playce we booked.
Unfortunately, we were not very happy with the accommodation. Her brother (?) who is living in the apartment does not speak a single word in English (just Italian) and thus the communication was very hard. The furniture and the facilities in the apartment were very old and used. It smelled strange and was not very clean. Besides, you have no possibility to lock your room or the bathroom.
The location of the apartment is OK, the next public transportation options are quite near and you'll reach the center quite fast. Free parking options are nearby.
So, if you don't have any demands on the apartment itself, you'll have a nice stay there.
That was one of the worst experiences I've made. War has often in Italy and have never met such a rude person. First was the lady that we have to come to her home to pick up the keys of the apartment. After a long discussion they came and picked us yet. The woman was driving so dangerous car that we thought we perish. Next we went into the apartment, the apartment was completely filthy. Lauter hair on the floor, on the bed, in the bathroom and even in the refrigerator. It was just disgusting. In the evening we contacted the landlord, this was first shocked and came to meet us. Did she say send us your cleaning lady and give us back the money.
After their cleaning lady was there, they told her it is not seie so dirty. Although we have had photos. The lady wanted their money back, we refused and they dropped us off on the road. What we were happy at the end because we finally had a clean room at the hotel and were able to take a shower. To all who want a certain clean standard, this apartment is not recommended.
Das war eins der schlimmsten Erfahrungen die ich gemacht habe. War schon öfters in Italien und habe so eine unfreundliche Person noch nie getroffen. Erstmal wollte die Dame,dass wir zu ihr nach Hause kommen müssen um die Schlussel der Wohnung abzuholen. Nach langer Diskussion kam sie doch und hat uns abgeholt. Die Frau fuhr so gefährlich Auto, dass wir dachten wir kommen um. Weitergings in der Wohnung, die Wohnung war komplett verdreckt. Lauter Haare auf dem Boden, auf dem Bett, im Bad und sogar im Kühlschrank. Es war einfach nur widerlich. Am Abend kontaktierten wir die Vermieterin, diese war erstmal geschockt und kam uns entgegen. Hat gesagt sie schickt uns ihre Putzfrau und gibt uns das Geld zurück.
Nachdem ihre Putzfrau da war, hat sie ihr erzählt es seie nicht so dreckig. Obwohl wir Fotos gehabt haben. Die Dame wollte ihr Geld zurück, wir weigerten uns und sie setzte uns auf die Straße. Worüber wir am Ende doch froh waren, da wir endlich im Hotel ein sauberes Zimmer hatten und duschen konnten. An alle die einen gewissen sauberen Standard möchten, ist diese Wohnung nicht zu empfehlen.
Very nice stay in Milano. Ms Anna picked me and my frend from the main station and introduced an apartment to us. She had also brought a cake and a nice spakling wine - so our late arrival did not matter even closed shops. She was very kind and helpfull.
Very nice spacious studio in Milan, 50m from metro, 10 minutes to city center by subway. Anna (host) is a very nice woman, she picked us up from the trainstation(!) and gave us a very nice and warm welcome to Milano! We loved our stay in Milan!!!!

This spring I am thinking of going to pallets. Have any of you used the one in this link?
This spring I am thinking of going to pallets. Have any of you used the one in this link?
I made eight, two hive screened bottom pallets for my BeeBed last winter. Have hive clips to secure hives, and mite trays. Can send pics if interested.
I use alot of pallets. They are advertised for free almost every week in the paper. Piles are sitting everywhere you look. I pick the hard-wood sturdy ones. Some can be reenforced and even plywood pad added if you want.
If they are to be moved, I simply push the hives (4) together and use a 1" strip on the side of the hives with a wood screws. Two hives face one way and the other two the opposite. Then put a screw through the front entrance to hold them down and from jumping up.
If its a permenant site I like to use 10" cinder blocks layed side by side. 2 per hive. This puts them up a little and no need to worry about wood rot over the years.
I find that the pallets also help with skunk problems. I guess with the hives higher up, the skunks belly is more exposed to stings. Ever since I went to pallets, I find little to no skunk damage in any of my yards.
I use two pallets per grouping, it keeps your good pallet off the ground and last longer.
>>I simply push the hives (4) together and use a 1" strip on the side of the hives with a wood screws. Two hives face one way and the other two the opposite. Then put a screw through the front entrance to hold them down and from jumping up.
BjornBee, great idea. I'm going to do that from now on. I throw a pallet on top and strap them down, but never seems to work very well, my hives are not all uniform enough. I don't move yards all that often anyway.
I've worked bees by hand, with pallets using a bobcat, forklift and a boom truck. I think that only for the very large operations are pallets a good idea. I think its much better to use a boom truck and move hives individually because:
1) With pallets, you get a lot of drifting, which helps spread disease, especially when moving.
2) With pallets, it is much harder on your back to add supers and take them off.
3) With pallets, you are forced to move all four colonies even if one or two should be left behind.
4) With a boom lift, you can weigh colonies, remove supers, inspect hives, load supers on and off a truck, and remove individual hives from a yard if they are diseased.
5) With pallets, you have to tow a forklift, pay for it and maintain it.
6) With pallets, your equipment tends to take a beating when loading and unloading.
The only real advantage I feel pallets have is that you can go 'cross country' with a four whell drive forklift or bobcat, other than that I would stick to a boom lift.
Did any of you check out the link. I like the first one where the pallet doubles as a bottom board. What do you think about them?
It is popular with some commercial beekeepers. I dont like the idea though. Your cant move individual hives away, and cant move them around on the pallet. I group in fours for winter, and like to keep the hives snug together. You also have to modify the pallet. And you have to buy good pallets to make the work worth while and last.
In Dadants Beginning Beekeeping book he states not to put more than one hive on a single stand/platform in order to minimize disturbing hives you aren't working with. Makes sense to me.
Hi,All:Been gone for awhile.I seem to have more problems with mice when I place hives on pallet's.I've noticed it several times so I quit using them.Anyone else noticed or had that problem?>>>>Mark

Dolomite has introduced Multiflux-2, a range of microfluidic connectors and interfaces offering high-density connection with 1.5-mm pitch between tubing lines for fast, reliable, and precisely aligned connections between microfluidic chips, pumps, sensors, valves, and other fluidic modules without disruptions to the fluid flow.
The design of Multiflux-2 allows simplified fluidic routing and reduced assembly time in laboratory instruments and systems. These devices also increase opportunities for microfluidics to be scaled-up to production systems, which benefits a range of application including the droplet-based generation of pharmaceutical products and high-throughput bioanalysis tools. Multiflux-2 provides microscale alignment of flow paths with almost zero dead volume.

text: What this means is while these changes are not official until after the ISU Congress in June, however these are the recommendations of the ISU Technical Committees and they are generally pretty much done deals unless specific Member of ISU (country) specifically objects to the proposed changes and second by at least another Member. Member here means another country. So for example, say South Korea objects to the 3A being allowed in Ladies SP. The ISU will not entertain the objection unless South Korea's position is backed by another country, say China. Even then, South Korea will not be able to submit any amendment, the objection only means the specific proposal can be rejected and therefore, not take effect. In other words, these rule changes will be adopted by silent acclamation without any voting being necessary. Therefore, in most cases, it's pretty safe to assume they will be adopted when the rule changes are being presented under this format, as part of an ISU Technical Committee technical rule change. This is not the same compared to a specific country proposing a rule change via a proposal, in which case, a vote will be necessary (e.g. the 1.1 factor bonus for jumps after 2 minutes in the SP).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Help with 29g rescape pls!
I am rescaping my new tank before it gets too settled. There is no livestock yet, so I figure now is as good as time as any.
I will be taking out all the plants and driftwood, then scraping off the white gravel. Underneath is Flourite Black which I will be topping with probably some black sand. I know it will mix over time, but I think that will be fine.
I need help planning on where to put everything when it all goes back in. I don't mind how it is now, but it seems kind of plain. I am open to more plants (looking for suggestions), but will start with what I have now. (I have low light, will be using osmocote tabs).
The plants I'm dealing with...
-Moneywort (?? Bacopa?) (back left corner)
-red rotala (?? front left corner. Not sure this plant will make it, got it at an auction)
-egeria najas (I have some in my other tank and can get more clippings soon)
-corkscrew vals (behind the driftwood). I love these, and hope they will grow tall
-water wisteria
-anubias nana on the driftwood
-some very small crypts I have lining the little rock path, not sure you can see them.
I also have some asian ambulia in my other tank that I can take a few stems/trimmings from. And some dwarf sag which I really like, just not sure where I would put it here.
Any thoughts on where to put everything when it all goes back together? Should I reuse the rocks? I don't know much about sloping, but someone made the comment my tank lacks 'depth' and I agree. Its just kind of boring.
I feel like I have a lot of tall stems. I also like bushy plants and more 'leafy' plants too. Any thoughts?
These are the rocks I have to work with, plus some smooth black river rock. I should have left the substrate alone at this point!

A Look Back at Battle of the PRO's From Brooklyn on Sept. 13th
- Written by R. Choi
Story by R. Choi
Photos by Bauzen
On Thursday, September 13th, eight professional Muay Thai fighters gathered at the Renzo Gracie Academy in Brooklyn to fight in a one-night "Battle of the PRO's" tournament. The event, which took place in the impressive new facility and was elegant enough to require a corporate casual dress code (sorry, no TapouT gear allowed) nevertheless delivered a great night of fights with plenty of action and several knockouts.
The first round of fights featured Rafael Machado of Gold Team (Newark, NJ) defeating Nate Chambers of Hyena Muay Thai (Las Vegas, NV) via unanimous decision, Villi Bello (Ardon's Sweet Science, NY) advancing after the fight was ruled a no contest in the first round due to a questionable groin shot to Mervin Rodriguez (Pellegrino MMA, Belmar NJ), Troy Sheridan of Team Ultimate (Toronto, Canada) defeating the older and very experienced Peter Kaljevic by unanimous decision, and Deshawn Robinson (America's Finest Kickboxing, NJ) overcoming a very aggressive Turan Hasanov (Fight Factory, NY) two minutes and 42 seconds into the second round with a devastating knockout by knee that left him unable to continue.
An intermission and the only amateur bout of the night showed why clinch is essential in Muay Thai, as Jason Sheena (Workshop Muay Thai, NY) won a unanimous decision against Daniel Cronin (Renzo Gracie, NY). This also seemed to set the tone for the first fight in the semi-finals, which was also decided in the clinch with Villi Bello winning by TKO 1 minute and 25 seconds into the second round after landing several vicious knees on his opponent, Rafael Machado. Afterwards, Troy Sheridan and Deshawn Robinson faced off in a very exciting bout that had a flurry of back and forth exchanges in the first round. Troy looked rocked early but he still managed to send Deshawn crashing through the ropes onto the judge's table and was not only able to make a full recovery, but also scored an impressive KO at 2 minutes and 46 seconds with a right hook that sent Deshawn's mouthguard flying.
The final fight pitted Troy Sheridan against Villi Bello. Bello was very aggressive, but had problems with the longer reach of Sheridan. Bello tried changing levels and kept up an aggressive pace, but Sheridan ultimately controlled the distance and and kept Bello from getting close with a nasty jab and low kick combination that had served him well all night. In rounds two and three, Sheridan also added a high left kick to the mix and won the fight by unanimous decision, as well as the tournament.

Privacy: More than the right to delete and forget
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, 26 November 2009
Our worlds are increasingly networked and our personal data collected left, right and centre. Ask anyone who has to use a biometric identity card like Malaysian Jac sm Kee who has to give her ID number even if she's just buying movie tickets online. We can be sure much of the information collected about us online is not that securely warehoused. So what needs to be done to protect our right to privacy online? And what about our own circle? If a boyfriend broadcasts an intimate photo via mobile phone, what then? Jac argues that in the digital age, personal data is no longer just our property, it has become part of who we are. What will be key in the future will be for us to have as much control as possible over our personal data — and that control should be based on "consent" rather than "protection of privacy".Lire l'article au complet http://www.genderit.org/en/index.shtml?apc=f--e--1&x=96354

I like to make a big breakfast for the family on the weekends, eggs (to Order) Hashbrowns, Grits, Bacon, Sausage, and of course, Pancakes!
After much trial and error, (pointed out ever so lovingly by my wife and daughters) I have devised the Worlds Greatest Pancakes.
I think you'll like em
1/2 cup all purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries(Crasins) or dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped Pecans
1 cup Buttermilk or soured milk (if you dont have buttermilk put a ts of lemon juice in a cup of milk to sour)
1 beaten egg
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon pure Vanilla
2 tablespoons (at least) of Pure extracted honey, Dizzy Daddy is best but others can be used
mix all dry ingredients and fruit and nuts
Mix all liquids (honey mixes best when warm)
Mix wet and dry together, if to thick add more Buttermilk, if to thin add more Whole wheat flour
Pour your favorite size into your favorite preheated griddle and cook to a golden brown on both sides
This will make about 8 of the Worlds Greatest Pancakes

Enterprise to play in football bowl game, West Valley left out
REDDING, Calif. - One Northstate high school football powerhouse will be back on the field again.
After winning the section title, the Enterprise Hornets have been selected to participate in the 2013 CIF State Regional Football Championship Bowl Games presented by Farmers.
The decision was announced Sunday by the athletic commissioners at the CIF Regional Football Selection Sunday Meeting.
In Division-II, Enterprise (12-0) will face the Manteca High Buffaloes (13-1) Saturday, December 14 at Lincoln High School in Stockton. The Hornets finished off an undefeated regular season by winning the CIF Northern Section Division-I title. They rolled over Paradise, 40-14.
In Division-III, West Valley High School (12-1) was left out of the bowl game picture. Many reports had the Eagles getting a possible bowl berth based on their 2013 regular and postseason performance. West Valley won the CIF Northern Section Division-II championship by beating their Valley Bowl rivals, Central Valley High School, in a 56-28 rout. The Eagles only defeat of the season was a 28-3 loss to Enterprise.
According to the Northern Section CIF website, all bowl games will be played at 7:30 p.m.

Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic have jumped to the top of the transtasman netball league, topping the previous league-leading Adelaide Thunderbirds from top spot with a 17-goal thrashing today few predicted.
The Thunderbirds held top spot on goal difference going into the key round 13 matchup but were hammered at Tauranga's TECT Arena by a rampant Magic outfit who grabbed a handy 15-11 lead at quarter time and rammed home the advantage, crusing to a 59-42 victory in front of a sellout 3000-strong crowd.
It was a record-equalling eighth win in a row and momentarily puts the Magic in top spot from the Thunderbirds, Melbourne Vixens and Northern Mystics on goal percentage, although they are almost certain to be overhauled by the end of the weekend.
But after four losses blighted the start of their campaign, coach Noeline Taurua was smiling after another win virtually sealed their participation in the playoffs ahead of next weekend's clash with the Queensland Firebirds in Hamilton.
The Magic were irrepressible, exerting huge pressure through midcourt maestro Laura Langman, with transplanted South Australian Khao Watts also a dominant feature feeding shooters Irene van Dyk, who turned 40 this week, and the fast-improving Julianna Naoupu.
Van Dyk hit 41 from 42 attempts and Naoupu 18 from 23, with both likely to know they were in a contest as Thunderbirds defenders Sharni Layton and Rebecca Bulley threw everything but the goalpost at the pair with Adelaide's distinctive tight man-on-man marking.
The Magic grabbed a 15-11 buffer at quarter time, turned it into a 27-21 halftime lead and ran away with it as the Thunderbirds, coming off a short week following their 26-goal win over the NSW Swifts last weekend, wilted quickly.
Casey Williams and Leana de Bruin were feisty in the defensive circle, containing former Jamaican international Carla Borrego expertly, despite Williams struggling with an injury to her left foot, adding to the right ankle issues she's been nursing all season.
Adelaide had injury issues of their own, with international centre Natalie von Bertouch getting treatment in the third quarter for a dislocated finger and not returning after the break, with Magic up 39-25.
The Magic took out the quarter 18 goals to seven and, even though the Thunderbirds reeled off three-straight goals to start the fourth quarter, they were shut out of the game.
