Bend-based ONDA marks 25th anniversary
Works to protect High Desert wilderness
BEND, Ore. - January marks the 25th anniversary of the Bend-based Oregon Natural Desert Association. Today, ONDA has 4,000 supporters and is unique in the conservation community for its focus on the High Desert country and wildlife in Central and Eastern Oregon.
At first, it was a handful of people who answered a newspaper ad to form a "desert group."
Founding member Alice Elshoff recalls that in the early 1980s, the federal Bureau of Land Management had just inventoried its land for potential wilderness protection - and the group wasn't happy with the results.
"That was really what kicked it off," Elshoff says, "that they had missed a lot of places that we knew -- those few volunteers of us who spent time out in the desert -- knew about and loved and treasured. So, we started going out and doing our own inventories, and feeding that information back to the BLM."
Since then, ONDA has worked closely with federal agencies on some projects - and sued them on others. The group has won protections for Hart Mountain, Steens Mountain, the Oregon Badlands and the Owyhee River area.
Another founding member, Craig Miller, says they could not have imagined some of the current threats to a healthy desert ecosystem, including climate change and renewable energy that makes the desert a prime spot for wind and solar development. But he says they also could not have foreseen their successes.
"All in all, we're very optimistic about the future, because we've seen some very positive changes happen," Miller says. "Even though we see a lot of dangers, we also see a lot of opportunity and a lot of hope."
ONDA says its current goals are to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands on the Oregon-Idaho border, as well as pushing for new wilderness designations for the Horse Heaven and Cathedral Rock areas near John Day, and keeping wind turbines off Steens Mountain.
Miller says he was at a tense public meeting long ago when someone made a comment that stuck with him.
"He said, 'Well, you know, the environmental movement is just a fad. It's going to go away.' At that time, I made a vow to myself that environmentalism wasn't going to go away as long as I was alive," Miller says. "And I'm very thankful that it's not just a fad."
ONDA has identified almost 8 million acres of wilderness-quality land in Eastern Oregon. Elshoff's advice to people who don't see what's so special about it is to get off the main roads for a closer look.
"They need to see it in the morning when the sun comes up over it," Elshoff says. "They need to see it in the evening, when you have a desert sunset. They need to see it at night, when you have just this huge starlit sky or full-moon sky over the desert.
"I mean, that is truly magic."

That meringue looks amazing Earthmum! Does the bottom of it come out the texture of a cake? Apples are in season now and this could be a nice first time with meringue for me.

We still have nearly 3 weeks left in the challenge, so think of your egg recipes soon!
Here's an early fall dish. Leek and feta fritatta and a salad of arugula, gorgonzola, proscuitto and fresh figs. For the fritatta I caramelized the chopped leeks with olive oil and added water to the pan as needed so they wouldn't burn. Then I removed them from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile I browned sliced potatoes on the bottom of the pan until almost cooked through. I layered the caramelized leeks on top, poured in the beaten eggs and dotted it with cubs of feta cheese. Into the oven it went until the eggs were set and I turned it upside down onto the platter. The sweetness of the leeks are a perfect match for the briny saltiness of the feta.

Re: September Cooking Challenge: EGGS!!
A homemade peach tart with a pastry cream filling. I used the 'Joy of Baking' fruit tart recipe:
I substituted Cup 4 Cup gluten-free flour and almond flour for the crust. I topped the tart with locally-grown peaches from a great farm stand near our home which are grown not 50 miles from us and homemade peach glaze made from the same sun-ripened peaches. I added both almond extract and vanilla extract to the pastry cream. The peaches were perfectly ripe, which I recommend if making homemade desserts. You don't have to use unripe fruit just because it will cut neatly, it won't taste as good as ripe fruit. Treat yourself and stop worrying about how things look in pastry shops. At home, it should be homemade-looking and it'll taste like nothing you can buy.

Re: September Cooking Challenge: EGGS!!
That does look great! What kind of feta did you use for the fritatta?
Hey guys i'm new, I was stumbling around the internet in search of cheap food recipes and came on to this thread! I have a couple ways I like to do eggs on toast, just to make it not so boring! Can't really post pictures but the recipes will give you an idea (I hope!). Sorry if this post is long in advance, I tend to get carried away when i'm talking about food..
So the recipe changes depending on my mood, but here are my two favourites!!
Start with the eggs on toast part, that's the easiest! Fry egg, make toast, DONE! Next comes the toppings!
So first grab a small onion, medium-sized tomato and a rasher of bacon and DICE 'EM ALL UP! Throw them in a bowl and now you can get creative, season it up how you want, I usually put oregano, basil, parsley (All dried), salt, pepper and a dash of worcestershire sauce and tabasco. However you do it, don't go overboard with the saltyness or anything like that. NEXT is what makes the whole thing delicious, grab some cheap jarred basil pesto (usually has a fair amount of oil in it already, but if you'd rather use fresh pesto just add olive oil afterwards). Anyhow, you want about a tablespoon or more to make sure it coats everything. Stir it all up, fry in some butter until the onions are soft and throw it on top of the egg, it's delicious!
For the other variation chop up some mushrooms and a small red onion, season in the same way but leave out the basil pesto. THIS TIME you want 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard (We have an organic brand called Macro over here which I LOVE!). If you want to offset the tang a bit add some dijonnaise (it's kinda like mayo + mustard) or a small amount of whole egg mayo. Again don't forget some olive oil, stir it all up, fry til the onions are soft and the mushrooms are cooked through (you might need some more butter for those mushrooms). I tend not to add meat here except for mortadella, but that's pretty processed and some people don't like the taste!
These are just about my favourite breakfast/egg recipes of all time, they're cheap and filling and you know exactly what you're putting in.

Re: September Cooking Challenge: EGGS!!
Welcome to the forums Crusader, we hope you'll stick around and post some more recipes. Eggs on toast I hear is very popular in the UK, it's not something we do here in the States although I can't figure out why. We don't do beans on toast either, or anything on toast really. I should try it for myself once just to try it. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
For anyone apprehensive about adding photos, I simply take a photo with my smartphone and then email it to myself. When I sit at my computer I can open the attachment and save in a special (gigantic) filing system on my computer where I keep pictures and recipes of all the food I make. I'm pretty much a foodie like that, I take pictures of everything I cook.
The feta I used in this particular instance is a Bulgarian feta, but most often I cook with Dodonis feta.

Heritage Lottery Fund gives £2 million to redevelop Fort Nelson - Tuesday, 20 October 2009
Once Portsmouth's protective barrier to French invasion in Victorian times and air attack during World War Two, Fort Nelson is now home to the national collection of historic artillery. With attractions of military might ranging from a 15th century Turkish bombard, cannon captured at the Battle of Waterloo, and more recently Saddam Hussein's infamous Supergun, in the near future the Fort will give visitors an even more exciting experience, thanks to a grant of almost £2 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The confirmed grant* to Royal Armouries will see improved visitor facilities, galleries and provide state-of-the-art education opportunities at the Fort, perched on Portsdown Hill overlooking Portsmouth Harbour and the Meon Valley.
Built in the 1860's on the orders of Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, the Fort was part of a chain of fortifications to protect Portsmouth and its naval base from a feared French invasion. However, it was pressed into service during the First World War as a transit camp for troops embarking for Europe and again during the Second World War when, supplying ammunition to anti-aircraft batteries, it once more protected Portsmouth dockyard, this time from German bombers.
Royal Armouries Museum Director Peter Armstrong said:
"This Heritage Lottery Fund grant and the vital match-funding awards are a fantastic boost to the ambitious re-development programme which will bring the Fort's history to life by ensuring a quality experience that will continue to inform, challenge and entertain our visitor base whilst providing much-needed additional capacity to meet visitor demand."
For the Heritage Lottery Fund, Head of HLF South East England Stuart McLeod said:
"Royal Armouries has had this redevelopment in its sights for some time and we are delighted to support this exciting project that will create improved displays, better information, superb education facilities and an excellent and memorable experience for visitors, researchers and schoolchildren."
The money will be used to transform the Scheduled Ancient Monument by introducing new and better-equipped visitor facilities, which will allow even more people to enjoy this free heritage attraction and its historic collection.
The attraction saw visitor numbers more than double between 2000 and 2005, and there is a need to ensure that all visitors have the widest possible access to Fort Nelson in order to understand the site's social history and environment, the communities it was built to protect and the historical importance of its collections. New galleries will bring these stories to life as well as providing a fitting home for the national collection of artillery and historic cannon.
The main projects included in the refurbishment comprise:
- A new, 355sq m, free visitor centre and facilities for Fort Nelson and Portsdown Hill outside the walls of the Fort, containing an information and welcome centre, larger shop and new café for use by visitors and passing traffic, cyclists and walkers.
- A dramatic new 450 sq m entrance gallery – the Orienteur – displaying the most dramatic and iconic cannon in the collection including Saddam Hussein's infamous Supergun.
- A state-of-the-art education centre and facilities, including a new 'classroom of the future' and dedicated entrance.
- Re-siting the main visitor entrance so that visitors cross a dramatic original drawbridge to enter the fort and provision of a lift between both levels of the Fort to greatly enhance access for all.
- New parking facilities next to the site, providing easy access for the first time to the famous Nelson Monument.
In addition to the HLF grant, progress has also been made with the campaign to raise the additional £1.5 million match-funding needed to realise the project. Since a generous lead pledge by the Garfield Weston Foundation, numerous funders have been inspired to follow suit with the total added to just last month by an £87,000 grant from the DCMS / Wolfson Foundation Galleries Improvement Fund – a vital 'shot in the arm' for the development.
The Fort Nelson free museum will remain open throughout the building phase in 2010, with an exciting programme of seasonal special events as well as all the daily features visitors have come to expect.

Notes to editors
- The HLF grant to the project Fort Nelson Re-development is for £1,832,000 (53% of project costs) and is a second-round pass, which means it is a confirmed award.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum houses one of the world's finest collections with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years and from every corner of the earth. The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
Website: www.royalarmouries.org.uk
- This year HLF is celebrating its 15th anniversary. Using money raised through the National Lottery, since 1994 it has not only revitalised hundreds of museums, parks, historic buildings, landscapes and wildlife sites, but has also given new meaning to heritage itself. People from every walk of life are now involved with the heritage that inspires them, making choices about what they want to keep and share from the past, for future generations. HLF has supported more than 28,800 projects, allocating over £4.3billion across the UK, including £428million to more than 3,000 projects across the South East England region alone.

The workplace can be a nutritional battlefield with doughnuts in the break room, co-workers' candy bowls, and afternoon birthday cake. More organizations are coming up with strategies — like healthy meeting guidelines — to help employees make better food choices.
But when it comes to wellness, workplace culture change can happen at a glacial pace — so don't rely on corporate policies to protect you from nutrition pitfalls. Take charge of your choices to nourish your mind and body — so you can move through your day feeling fantastic and doing your best work.
Make a habit of meal-planning once a week — simply map out your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas for each day. Then, make a shopping list and stock your fridge and cupboards. Download your worksite's cafeteria menu and decide when to buy lunch and when to brown-bag it. Freeze dinner leftovers for grab-and-go meals — and prepare snacks and lunches the night before. Planning ahead gives you more choices — and saves money.
It's no secret that starting your day with a power breakfast is vital when it comes to all-day energy — and weight management. Skipping breakfast might seem to cut calories, but studies show it actually promotes weight gain and stifles brain function. Not hungry in the morning? Eat dinner earlier and cut back on bedtime snacking.
Choosing a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat or skim dairy products, and whole grains with your morning meal is your best bet for a high-energy day and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Including protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, seeds, and dairy products staves off hunger more effectively than a mostly carbohydrate meal. Try these delicious, easy-to-fix ideas:
Skip the vending machines and stock your own scrumptious snacks for long-lasting vim and vigor. Pair complex carbohydrates with protein and a small amount of fat for sustainable energy — and control portions to avoid calorie overload:
Avoid fatty foods and highly processed fare, which can leave you feeling sluggish and wanting more after a meal. Instead, choose foods close to their natural state whenever possible — they're more satisfying, more nutritious, and more likely to sustain you through the afternoon. Check out these examples:
It's OK to treat yourself to a little something sweet as long as you keep the portions — and calories — under control. In fact, a small periodic indulgence may help prevent binge-eating that often results from restrictive eating habits. Tricks and tips:

Follow up ? How does the wood go on the gas tube. It will be obvious once I see the sequence but I have to admit Im puzzled. Barrel is drilled and pined. Sight block drilled and pined. Just making sure everything is in line. Brad
Ok its raining and I cant work so heres a update on my build. I have several pics. A couple have some simple build ideas for the budget minded and a couple of progress. I used 6 mm screws on the front trunnion. As you will see I put a nut on the screw to clean the threads after the cut. This helped hold the screw in the vise and also left the right amount of threads a little touch up was needed but all most perfect. I used a stainless hex bolt that had a dimple in it to contour the rivets in the trigger guard. Same thing for the compression tool a bolt with a dimple. Clamped in vise a piece of cake. The receiver rails where plug weld if I have my terminology correct. A hole drilled then filled with weld attaching the rail. They have been cleaned up. Barrel pressed in a head spaced. Ill drill today. Went to to local machine supply and picked up some bits. Note screws where cut with a die grinder and cut off wheel.

the wood or plastic upper handguard should have a metal clip inside, start at the bottom of the upper handguard and slowly twist it on, some are real tight others can be loose
I have had to place the rear sight block of the gas tube in a vise ( protected) and twist with both hands to get that sucker on
your getting there
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Thats the direction I was going. Just making sure. I wanted to get some input. Last ? Front sight reference and the end of the barrel. The fit is not so tight that I cant move it around a little. Should the end of the barrel be flush a little recessed ? Flush looks good but any input is welcome. Should have this thing up and running by the weekend. Brad

Flush is good, makes it easier to clean the crown of the barrel after
it gets all carboned up.
Stock 74's are flush, at least mine are.
Nice tight pins will stop the movement of the FSB.
Good job!

my bulgie 74 front sight is flush with the end of the barrel,
your question is
could the front sight base be moved back a few millimeters, I guess as long as the muzzlebrake can fit properly I don't see why not
put the muzllebrake on and look down the barrel make sure the front sight is not mis-aligned or the brake with impact with a projectile
maybe others can chime in
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Flush it will be. I was at the gun show and took a look but needless to say I am not going to break down someones gun at the table. Ill have a couple of pics with more build. A follow up on the barrel pin drill. I contacted the local machine supply as I said earlier. I used a letter I bit in machine drill size then followed through with a 7mm jobber bit. Quite a bit of leveling on the drill press as per Dark Knights video [did the best I could with what I had] it went good. Just some food for thought.
Looking good Gasngo. By the time you get to building your tenth one, you can do it in your sleep. LOL.

I have 1 more ?. How much side to side movement should I have or want in the bolt carrier. My receiver flexed a little on the tight side from welding in the rails. The bolt forwards and backwards movement is very snug passing the ejector tang. I placed a very thin washer between the center tube which widened the rail gap slightly. Now the carrier slides back and forth smooth as can be but there is some side to side play at the top. If I had one to compare to it would be no big deal. I dont want to compress the rivet untill I have the right fit. Thanks Brad. Still looking for completion this weekend.
ok again I will take a stab
first gasnogo you should know I have refused to assist anyone building a ak variant in quiet sometime, for some reason I am helping you
your pic's don't indicate the center post and rivet being installed
so I have ask have they been ???
there will be play in the action, one must remember and I have said this a thousand times, these rifles are battle rifles not target shooting champions their tolerances are less. yes I have a build or two with some side to side play but not alot
does the bolt lock up tight with a dummy round, Please tell me you have dummy rounds??? with a dummy round in the mag see how it feeds when you close the bolt
you could also place the upper parts of the reciever in a vise with wood on both sides and gentily squezze the upper part in with the bolt in place and moving the bolt back and forth
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.

I run a deep and super , how can i make use of the things you are talking about?Can i reverse the super? Or can i CB the super?
Thanks Jim
Now we're getting somewhere. Havn't told you that reversal isn't effective for your area. And , as I understand it, you get the colony storing overhead before reversal. Can't argue with success. It works for you. Locally, reversal is not as effective. It might be more so if we added your wrinkle. An article in this month's BC has been submitted to Barry to add to the list in POV on my reservations about wintering in the double deep. Don't think it's best in Dixie. It's the regionality thing. And yes, we've already mentioned the importance of maintaining empty comb at the top - once they have expanded through the honey reserve. It seems that the reserve is not a problem for you.
Think I have been fairly straightforward in agreeing that my opinions are conclusions based on observation, with virtually no scientific tests of verification. That permits you to disregard them as you choose.
Surely, you jest. Almost all how-to info in beekeeping is somebody's opinion. Yours, mine or others. Picking one we agree on like overhead storage of nectar is a key ingredient of swarm prevention: I have seen no scientific test that would make that opinion irrevocable. And even the opinion is not found in my reference books. I have no way of knowing whether you arrived at that opinion independently or it's a consensus opinion in your area, but I know I derived the opinion independently. Had no 'guidance" in the early years.
The literature has forever recommended early supering. What's missing is how early is "early" Some of that same lit talks about supering at fruit bloom. That is too late for me.
Would it surprise you to learn that I find your management approach supportive of mine? Same objectives, different means, both effective. Why you see this as a personal affront is puzzling. Did you not see a posting on another thead where I said I respected the opinions of the Micheals Bush and Palmer?
If the colony is still in the establishment phase, because they were started this year, you may be able to add shallows of foundation and get them to make wax early.
If you're wondering how to super with foundation I found some good advice from George Imirie
Supering: With Foundation - April 2004
Supering: With Foundation - April 2002
I will be vigilant for swarms and capture any I can because they will make honeycomb quickly. If I find any queen cells I'll make a split with the existing queen and a couple of frames of brood and honey simulating a swarm to the hive without half of the hive flying away.
Any swarms or splits will go into nucs for future need of brood, queens or expansion.
Like StevenG, my winter brood nests consist of two deeps, and either a medium super or feeder box on top for extra stores. Most often the cluster is in the bottom of the top super with a honey dome at the top of the top deep. My question for either Walt or Mike P or preferrably both of you is how would you recommend manipulating the brood nest to break up the honey dome without disturbing the cluster? I have tried reversal but then the honey dome is under the empty deep and the queen won't move up. CBing seems to cause too much disruption to the cluster. Any suggestions?
I think sjbees explained this but I am too ignorant to comprehend. Please help a third year beek.
Pete M.
Sorry, cluster in the bottom of the top deep (not super), honey dome at the top of the top deep.
The Master Beekeeper is distinguished by the simplicity and economy of his actions. There is nothing you can do regarding arrangement of combs that will increase the honey flow and growth of the colony. The less time you spend on individual colonies the more colonies you can keep. Hobbyists and small beekeepers have too much time on their hands and spend it puttering around and developing complicated theories regarding bee " management ".
I don't think MP is monitoring or responding to this thread anymore - or can. If you're interested in reversing, this is how MP described it to me in this recent thread:
You'll have to wade til toward the end of the pages, cause as you can expect, a lot of other opinions/methods.
EAS Georgia Certified. "Tradition - Even if you have done it the same way for years doesn't mean that it is not stupid."
Thanks hoodswoods. That thread was helpful. Let me make sure I understand.
According to MP, if at the end of winter, my cluster is at the bottom of the top deep with a honey dome over it (at the top of the top deep), by reversing the deeps, placing the empty, bottom deep on top of the deep w/ the cluster and dome in it, the bees will move the honey up into the supers and the crystals out, making way for the queen to move up into the empty deep?
I feel like I did that last year and the bees just filled the empty deep (now on top) with nectar before the queen was able to move into it. Maybe I was too late reversing? I will have to remember to watch for the dandelion bloom this year.
This is really a question for everyone.
I think of a recent post that got a number of responses somewhat surrounding your question/statement - of course there were a lot of opinions:
EAS Georgia Certified. "Tradition - Even if you have done it the same way for years doesn't mean that it is not stupid."
Could somebody please explain the personal animosity towards Walt and checkerboarding. I don't get it. Sure, he's an opiniated beeekeeper. But look around here on Beesource, not exactly a shortage of opinionated beekeepers. What's the deal with the snittiness. Is it that he has articles in the bee mags or what? I'm confused.
As to what Tom Laury said, I would point out that it takes a few minutes, tops, to checkerboard a hive and then you don't have worry much about swarming the rest of the year. So I'd say that it's efficient.
Yes, very much so. Not necesarilly a bad thing but the arrogance is offputting. I get the feeling that it's more about "do it my way" than it is about beekeeping.he's an opiniated beeekeeper.
A few minutes X $8-10 per hour X a few hundred/thousand... There are faster, more effecient ways.I would point out that it takes a few minutes, tops, to checkerboard a hive and then you don't have worry much about swarming the rest of the year. So I'd say that it's efficient.

[QUOTE=NeilV;487335]Could somebody please explain the personal animosity towards Walt and checkerboarding.
I think beekeepers can become totally invested in their own system of beekeeping and become very defensive when a new system threatens their long held ideas and beliefs, especially if new methods are presented forcefully with an aire of authority. Sometimes it's simply a matter of not wanting to change familiar hive configurations especially if it means having to acquire additional woodware. It seems to me if your own systems is working for you and you're satisfied with the results then forget CB or any other system. However, if you're having beekeeping problems with what you are currently doing then why not try a different approach.
Bee just and just bee
I am a newbie at bees. Would someone please explain what CHECKERBOARNING is? Never heard that around here.
Yep - old Walt is definately opinionated. It's a fine line between confidence in what you'ved learned and arrogance. Try to stay on the confidence side of the line, but it may come across as arrogance. Those who know me best will tell you that I'm more reserved than arrogant.
What was learned didn't come easy - cost me most of my net worth. Thought I was doing a service for the beekeeping community. Really naive. The beekeeping community didn't want to know, and rebuked me for even suggesting that techniques in vogue were questionable.
Yes, I'm proud of what was learned. If that comes across as arrogance, so be it.
Is checkerboarding really still considered a new thing?
Walt, you should have written a book and made some money off of it. For some reason, I've found that people are far less hostile toward an idea if they're paying to hear it, even though the idea doesn't change. I'm beginning to suspect that some people just like giving their money away and will get mad at you if you don't take it from them.
It often seems that the most outspoken opponents of ideas or methods, on all sides, are those who have no desire or intention to even attempt something new or different than what they have become comfortable with.
If what you're doing works well and you are satisfied with the results, keep on rollin'. But for those with the curiosity and available time, what's the harm in trying something new? In this business there are most likely several roads which all lead to the same destination. It could be that more than one is "right".
To everything there is a season....
I can see that checkerboarding is not really suited for migratory, commercial beekeepers who are primarily making their living on pollination contracts. They are doing something different than hobbiest like me and the average sideliner. I would even begin to suggest that I have any idea how to tell commercial pollination beekeepers to do that work.
However, the average sideliner type, at least around here, relies on selling honey direct to the consumer at retail prices. Honey yield is very important, which means that swarms equal lost profits.
If we assume that it takes 5 minutes per hive at a wage rate of $10.00 per hour, then the cost per hive is only $1.20. To cover that cost, you would only need to increase yield per hive by about 8 ounces of honey. Based on what I've seen and others have reported, honey yields can go up by lots more than that due to using checkerboarding (both due to avoiding swarms and having bigger broodnests).
So if checkerboarding works at all, it should be economical for sideliner types who rely on honey production for their income.
What am I missing?

Reviews of this property
beautiful, clean house! only 2 blocks away from the subway station Encants. roberto the hosts were very accommodating, friendly and helpful! The high light of the apartment: the short roof terrace: a top apartment in top location!
wunderbare, saubere wohnung! nur 2 blocks von der ubahnstation encants entfernt. der gastgeber roberto war sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit! das highlicht der wohnung: die dachterrasse
kurz: eine top wohnung in top lage!
Here you live in a family that you used with the apartment (kitchen / bathroom / patio) with Monica and her family, which was nice. The room looks just like the web, everything is very clean. The location is also very good, you can walk to the Sagrada Familia, and there are several supermarkets nearby.
Hier wohnst du in einer Familie, du benutzt die Wohnung (Küche/Bad/Terasse) mit Monica und ihrer Familie mit, was sehr nett war. Der Raum sieht genauso aus wie im Netz, alles ist sehr sauber. Die Lage ist auch sehr gut, man kann zur Sagrada Familia laufen und es gibt zahlreiche Supermärkte in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Very nice apartment, good neighborhood, friendly and helpful hosts. I would definitely recommend.
A nice room in a nice apartment. Would recommend.
Une chambre agréable dans un appartement sympathique. A recommander.
We spend four nights at Monica's apartment and it was very comfortable.
Monica and Roberto were very kind to us. I liked the the nice clean calm room with a huge good Bed. The apartment is perfectly situated to get around Barcelona. Easy to find the place, the subway is 5 min walk away as well as a lot stores to buy food or water.
I would completely recommend Monica's apartment to anyone who loves to get to know Barcelona.
Very nice stay. They are flexible and loving people. The place is very clean and pure. To go back again. Thank you
The apartment is quite central located, and only 3 minutes walk from the subway. The district is calm and quite, we were walking back home late night and felt totally safe. The rooms itself is spacious enough for 2 people, having big and convenient bed, capacious wardrobe. We also were fancy about the possibility of using terrace - it is nice to spend some time in the evening there having drinks and enjoying fresh air. Our host person, Monica was friendly and very helpful, gladly providing us with different info on request (like how to get to the beach or where to rent a scooter). Monica and her husband have a kid who is very quite and also did not disturb us in any way during the stay. To make the long story short we really enjoyed our stay.
The apartment was in the city centre. You could walk from the apartment to sagrada familia. Moreover the apartment was clean and there was even an air conditioner in the bedroom.A part from that Roberto and Monica were very friendly hosts.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Hello all,
So recently,well within the past 2-months,I went through some tough times with my ladies. This was my first year as a beek and I guess I didn't quite "get it". I lost my queen to a swarm about 2-months ago and I left the queen rearing to the little gals. After about 3-weeks of no new signs of any new bees,I went ahead and ordered a new queen. I introduced her,left her for about a week and then came back to find that she was released but I found no actual signs of her. I now gave them another month to get all settled i,hoping that the queen was in there,but just playing hard to find. I finally decided to open 'em up again today and it wasn't the pretty picture that I was hoping for.
The numbers of the bees decreased dramatically. I had to go from 3-supers down to one just so they wouldn't have too much room. I finally found a frame of capped brood and some larvae. The capped cells were drone cells. I took a good look into the other cells and found multiple eggs in each cell. My hopes have been destroyed.
My question is now what do I do? Do I just allow this colony to die off and start over again next year?
What do I do with all of these frames of pollen and nectar? Should I save the frames of honey for them next year?
Is it too late to do a "shake off" and try to introduce another queen?
It's still pretty warm down here in Austin and I really don't know what else to do.
Please....ANY info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Works by Hebron Chism (top) and Rekeisha Taylor (bottom)
UTSA, Wells Fargo, Blue Star host Black History Month art show
(Feb. 7, 2006)--UTSA, Wells Fargo and Blue Star Contemporary Art Center have joined forces to celebrate Black History Month through a special art show, "HARAMBEE: The Prevalence of Ritual," featuring works by Rekeisha Taylor, Ronney Stevens and Hebron Chism.
The exhibition of paintings by the three local African-American artists can be seen through Feb. 28 at the UTSA Downtown Campus gallery in Durango Building Room 1.122. Exhibit hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo will host a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 24 at the gallery. The event is free and open to the public.

Wells Fargo will feature the artists' work at the company's West Side (109 N. San Saba), Martin Luther King Plaza (423 N. New Braunfels Ave.) and Foster Road (5703 N. Foster Road) locations. The art on display through Feb. 28 is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.
"Wells Fargo shares our passion and commitment to celebrating the arts and culture of our community," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "By working together and showcasing local artists, we are able to bring art to those in our community who might not have access."
"We are proud to work with UTSA and Blue Star Contemporary Art Center to honor African-Americans through this special Black History Month art show," said Don Kendrick, Wells Fargo community banking regional president for Central Texas. "Arts and culture are vital to San Antonio and the people who live in this great city. This show helps bring the two -- and our community -- together."
The curator of "HARAMBEE: The Prevalence of Ritual" is Bernice Appelin-Williams, development director of the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center. Appelin-Williams also is a professional mixed-media artist with an extensive international exhibition and curatorial track, and she has written art critiques and articles on the fine arts for local and national publications.
"Three artists who are proud of their roots, of their culture and of their gift of creativity graciously accepted my invitation to join in the celebration and education of American history," said Appelin-Williams. "Three artists who have completely different styles of work, who are at very different points in their careers, who embrace their diversities and who are fairly new to San Antonio join me in San Antonio's 2006 Black History Month events."
Rekeisha Taylor studied at UTSA where she earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts. She is an emerging photo artist (photographer and printmaker) with many notable exhibitions including "Writings on the Wall" at UTSA, "Emerging Artist" at the Alameda Theater and "First Biannual Student Photography Exhibition" at Blue Star.
Ronney Stevens attended the Otis Art Institute and the American Animation Institute. He studied oil painting at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. His work has been shown extensively, including a display at the Texas State Capitol. His artwork is currently on display at the African Marketplace in Los Angeles.
Hebron Chism studied at Langston and Central State universities. He focuses on creating artwork that reveals the inner visions of ethnic people. He challenges viewers to remember and honor their past, while questioning their own roles in the world today. Ancient cultures and tribal art can be found in his graphics and sculptures (Mayan, Celtic, Aborigine, Egyptian and African).
Comprised of both gifts and acquisitions of fine art for The University of Texas at San Antonio, the UTSA art collection contains paintings, sculptures, works on paper and mixed media by many talented South Texas artists, many of whom are graduates of UTSA.
UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida reviews potential gifts and makes recommendations based on their artistic merit and appropriateness for the campus collection. Pieces in the collection are located at interior and exterior sites throughout the university's three campuses and are maintained by the UTSA art specialist. The university hopes to enhance the educational environment for thousands of students, faculty and staff, while making UTSA aesthetically pleasant for visitors.
Blue Star Contemporary Art Center is a nonprofit, noncollecting contemporary organization in San Antonio that advances the growth and understanding of contemporary art, artists and the curatorial process. Through exhibitions and a variety of programs, Blue Star is an active participant in the development of regional, national and international contemporary art and provides a lively forum for the visual arts dialogue.
Wells Fargo has more than 620 locations throughout Texas. Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company with $453 billion in assets, providing banking, insurance, investments, mortgage and consumer finance to more than 23 million customers from more than 6,200 stores and the Internet (wellsfargo.com) across North America and internationally.
Wells Fargo's commitment to the African American community began 152 years ago at the company's founding. Many African-Americans played a crucial role during the early days of the company and were critically important in the operation of long-distance stage lines linking communities across the country.
Wells Fargo and UTSA have worked together on two previous art events. Wells Fargo, UTSA, the Institute of Mexico and Blue Star joined forces to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month through a special art show in fall 2005. In April, Wells Fargo and UTSA honored Latino artist Jesse Treviño during the 25th anniversary celebration of his "Imagenes de Mi Pueblo" mural featured inside Wells Fargo's Las Palmas store.

Story highlights
- Virgin Group chairman and founder Sir Richard Branson honored a lost bet by serving as flight attendant on AirAsia X
- Branson donned lipstick, high heels and a red skirt for the stunt
- Flight raised almost $200,000 for children's charity
- Branson "spilled" drink tray on AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes
The pictures might be NSFW -- at least if you're looking at them over lunch -- but Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson was certainly working it on Sunday.
Donning red lipstick, a flight attendant's skirt and high heels, the maverick businessman served drinks, made intercom announcements and chatted up passengers on an AirAsia X flight from Perth, Australia, to Kuala Lumpur.
A little recap.
Two years ago, Branson and AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes wagered on their Formula 1 racing teams, each man betting his own team would finish ahead of the other's in the 2010 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi.
The loser would have to serve as a female flight attendant on the winner's airline.
Branson lost.
On Sunday, he honored the bet by serving on a special AirAsia X charity flight.
Branson wore heavy makeup, including fake eyelashes and bright red lipstick. At a cocktail event in Perth the night before the flight, he had his legs shaved, but managed to keep his mustache.
"This has been a real first for me but I have enjoyed the experience and I have nothing but respect for what our fabulous flight attendants do every day to keep us safe," said Branson after the flight.
"He is an entrepreneur, visionary, knight and adventurer, Sir Richard can now also add AirAsia flight attendant to his long list of credentials," joked Fernandes.
During the five-and-a-half-hour flight, Branson poured coffee and tea, served meals, distributed merchandise, made in-flight announcements and entertained the passengers, according to an AirAsia statement.
He also accidentally (read: deliberately) tipped a tray of drinks over Fernandes during the flight. The two are close friends.
For each seat sold for the event, AirAsia X is donating A$100 ($100) to Starlight Children's Foundation, an Australia-based organization dedicated to seriously ill and hospitalized children and their families.
The event raised approximately $200,000 for the charity.

The Art of Good Health and Well Being
Hello forum members,
I am thrilled to let you all know that I will be speaking at a conference in WA soon about San Patrignano. This is a great opportunity to spread the message about this wonderful place and it is also an opportunity to meet and collaborate with other people who know that food and creativity is a great way to bring people together. My friend Margret Meagher who is running the conference has emailed me below with the basis for the conference. I will also be speaking about the role that Social Media and the web plays in bringing people together. Please take a look at the conference and also the message below - I would love to feedback to the attendees at the conference your thoughts and also how you all feel being a part of the community here on Jamie's website?
Look forward to hearing from you?
Cheers from Danny
http://www.artsandhealth.org/conference … -2012.html
Loneliness is the great unspoken public health issue.
Research suggests it is more harmful to health than obesity and as harmful as alcohol and tobacco.
There is a 50% reduction in mortality if people have a strong social network.
In 1985, the average American had 3 people to whom they could confide matters important to them.
In 2004, the number had dropped to 2 and one in four had no close confidants.
That's scary .. but the arts and food are two spaces, connected by having creativity as an integral part of the process, that provide a non intimidating environment for people to come together, create and share. All the senses are excited. Significant physical, social and mental health impacts can ensue.
I am also interested in the less obvious cases of loneliness and social exclusion - in retirement villages, new housing developments, aged care facilities, schools - people surrounded by other people but the connection is lacking or there is bullying / neglect / indifference / negligence / people being simply selfish
But with a social media campaign I realise we need to push the positive .. how creative activities can nurture connected supportive communities. And I love the intergenerational connections which are being made to link people and share skills and experiences.
And can be so simple. I came up with this idea .. low cost, strong community interest and practical outcomes to improve the environment of the aged care unit, including many with dementia.

Re: The Art of Good Health and Well Being
I spent a little time trying to remember where I read something related to good health and good human relations and finally thought it had to do with Greece and it was on facebook, where the JO's forumers convinced me to go
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/28/magaz … 1&_r=1
good human relations is part of being on this JO comunity, speaking of food yes, but above all of respect for the way it's produced, cooked and eaten. Cooking is taking care of those who'll eat what you are working on.
I was so proud of scrolling down and see you are one of the relatori at this conferenza Danny, and of course of spreading around what is done in Italy

Thank you Mada - feel so proud to be speaking about San Patrignano. We now have 3 wonderful young people working at Fifteen who were residents at San Patrignano. They are just brilliant young people who have all faced their challenges in life but come out on being triumphant. Interested to hear from the forum members about their thoughts on being a part of this forum and also the points that Margret speaks about.

Re: The Art of Good Health and Well Being
Great article Mada - I just finished reading an interesting book as well that supports the theory that your health can significantly improve by making yourself busy and having a purpose in life. The book is called The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell:
The concept of being busy and having a purpose reminds me of the life of a resident at San Patrignano. Often when people visit San Patrignano for the first time they think that it is like one big holiday resort, kind of like Disneyland. In truth the young people there work very hard - 6 days a week and long hours as well. They are constantly engaged and stimulated with work, creativity and of course incredible food. They also work hard in preparing food and serving it to each other. This purpose and constant engagement is a major part of the healing process.
Here is a video that we made on San Patrignano - I hope that after watching it you will see why I am so dedicated to the community and why it has made such a life long impression on me...

Re: The Art of Good Health and Well Being
they are fortunate to have met you because I think everyone brings along with himself the good and beauty that he sees reflected around ..... like in maths there is a funcion that multiplies numbers ..... you write them small up there near a number and it becomes bigger as many times as the little number says ........... we can multiply good things and recognize them among so many around, good and bad ones, only if someone has sown a seed of the same kind in our childhood ....... tell a big grazie to your mamma or dad or whoever it was, Danny when you see her
them, you made this beautiful film in S. Patrignano because you are one of those little numbers which magnify and make good things shine
thanks for spreading around such a generous slice of Italy, and in these "foggy" days it's really a job for miners

Re: The Art of Good Health and Well Being
Danny, great film and thank you for sharing it! Good luck with your project!
It certainly has given me a boost to get supportive comments and encouragement from people on the forum. I've enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and learning, sharing interests and making some friends. I've really enjoyed the times when people appreciated my help or support and when they took the time to help me and were happy for my successes.
People tend to use this space for many reasons, not just to discuss food. Food is a common ground that gives us a reason to come together and then sometimes, people open up and really start to get to know one another.
Our culture considers emotional needs to be a sign of weakness. Loneliness and isolation aren't considered serious problems.
Everyone wants to feel needed and appreciated.

Re: The Art of Good Health and Well Being
Ditto MsP.
Having less time recent months i still though visit here and check questions, comments. I have learned very much here, more than i would have done elsewhere i am sure. I hope my learning is equally balanced with any help i have offered.
Met some really great people too, i have now a few close friends and others that i appreciate immensely..
MsP, Loneliness and isolation are now considered as a serious problem. Survey recently states that the lonely and isolated die earlier/younger.
I havn't viewed your film yet Danny, but i wiil do

Hello forum members
I am also interested in the less obvious cases of loneliness and social exclusion - in retirement villages, new housing developments, aged care facilities, schools - people surrounded by other people but the connection is lacking or there is bullying / neglect / indifference / negligence / people being simply selfish
Social exclusion is our every day life, we work with the mentally and physically handicapped.

Reviews of this property
A Nice small apartment in a very nice neighborhood in Venice, few tourists but still good restaurants and very nice people. The host don't speak english but is still very nice and polite. The only thing we missed at the apartment was a AC system because the apartment gets very hot during the summer.
Everything went super. Great accommodation, very clean and tidy. Good beds. Very quiet location on the water. Highly recommended.
Alles super gelaufen. Tolle Unterkunft, sehr sauber und ordentlich. Gute Betten. Sehr ruhige Lage am Wasser. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Das Apartment war super! Ausstattung nagelneu, top und modern. Es liegt auf Giudecca in typisch venezianischem Wohngebiet mit Blick auf einen Kanal.Nachts war es sehr leise. Zum Vaporetto braucht man nur ca. 5 Minuten. Wir bekamen auch vorher gute Tips bezüglich Parken, Bootskarten und Wegbeschreibung vom Vermieter. Außerdem konnten wir kurzfristig etwas früher in die Wohnung als geplant. Alles in Allem ein super Aufenthalt!
Die Lage der Wohnung ist gut - kein Massentourismus wie sonst in Venedig. Aber es gibt keine Klimaanlage. Bei großer Hitze kann man die Fenster abends wegen der Moskitos nicht offen lassen oder man wird total verstochen. Die Nächte waren sozusagen 'sleepless in venice' d.h. der Aufenthalt war sehr anstrengend. Für junge Leute vielleicht ok. Nicht für uns!
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)

Excerpt: "If the Giants were hoping to catch any sort of a break against a struggling New Orleans Saints team on Sunday, Drew Brees made it clear they can forget it.
Hes coming off an ugly five-interception performance last Thursday night and hell have had more than a week to brood about that.
Everything that happened is correctable, and I can fix it, Brees said on a conference call with the New York media on Wednesday. Also know this: Im not losing any confidence.
In other words, the Giants can expect the same, dangerous Brees and the same, high-powered Saints offense that most teams have gotten this season.
That means the Giants sometimes struggling offense is going to have to score points. Maybe even a lot.
The good news is the champs are confident they can, despite their unexpected, penalty-plagued performance in Washington on Monday night where they stalled completely in the second half and meekly fell, 17-16. The Giants (7-5) know that wont be good enough against the Saints (5-7) at the Meadowlands on Sunday.
But despite their issues, they still feel like they can win a shootout with anyone.
I feel confident in our offense, that we can go score, that we can move the ball whether were running it or throwing it, Eli Manning said. We can be a high-powered offense and score a lot of points if thats what the game calls for. Read more...

COCOA offers Medicare open enrollment info
Medicare is stronger than ever with more benefits, better choices, and reasonable costs to beneficiaries.
Expanded Medicare benefits continue to be available –including certain free preventive benefits, cancer screenings and an annual wellness visit. Whether you choose Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan – beneficiaries should take advantage of the Open Enrollment period to review cost, coverage, or both.
• More Benefits: Certain preventive benefits – including cancer screenings – are available with no cost to patients when furnished by qualified and participating health care professionals. The annual wellness visit allows people to sit down and discuss with their doctor their health care needs and the best ways to stay healthy.
• Better Choices: Medicare will notify beneficiaries about plan performance and use its online Plan Finder to encourage enrollment in quality plans.
• New Costs: Average premiums for 2014 prescription drug coverage and Medicare health plans will experience increases. People who are in the "donut hole" in Medicare's prescription drug benefit will enjoy approximately 53 percent discounts on covered brand name drugs and increased savings on generic drugs. Your health needs change from year to year. And, health plans may change the benefits and costs each year as well. That's why it's important for everyone to evaluate their Medicare choices regularly. Open Enrollment is the one time of year when ALL people with Medicare can see what new benefits Medicare has to offer and make changes to their coverage. It's worth it to take the time to review and compare, however, you do not have to do it alone.
Medicare and the Local Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance in the Council On Aging Office is available to help.
Visit www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan to compare current coverage with all of the options that are available in their area, and enroll in a new plan if you decide to make a change.

The Online Pre-College Experience
Brown University's Pre-College Program offers online courses for high school students year-round, in fall, spring, and summer sessions. Our courses are rigorous, active learning experiences designed and led by Brown instructors, leaders in their fields. Students work one-on-one with their instructors and with talented, motivated students from around the globe as they engage in academic inquiry at the level of first-year undergraduate study. Our flexible, asynchronous course design accommodates students' busy academic and extracurricular schedules, and our cloud-based learning environment allows students to access their course sites anytime, anywhere.
What is it like to take an online pre-college course at Brown?
Course Format and Requirements
Our online pre-college courses are asynchronous. In other words, students are not required to log in at a set time to do their work. We do follow a weekly schedule, so students will know what they need to do each week and the due dates for their assignments, but it is completely up to them when during the week they do their work. Fall and spring session courses require that students commit 5-10 hours per week to complete coursework and assignments. Selected summer session courses are delivered in intensive formats that require 10+ hours per week.
Our Approach to Online Learning
We believe effective learning depends on high-quality instructional design. Brown's online pre-college instructors are enthusiastic, imaginative educators working at the forefront of online teaching and learning. Our instructors are drawn from Brown faculty, graduate departments, and colleges and universities around the country who share Brown's commitment to student-centered learning. Instructors work closely with the University's instructional designers to develop and deliver course content that exemplifies best practices of student-centered design and inquiry-based learning. We maintain small class sizes that reflect Brown's policy for teaching assistant support of undergraduate courses, and which fosters exciting, dynamic learning communities that encourage one-on-one interaction, team work, and networking. If an instructor chooses to work with teaching assistants to enhance interaction with students, the teaching assistants are selected very carefully, based on prior experience working with the instructor, advanced experience in the field, accolades and achievements, and their demonstrated investment in teaching.
Brown's online pre-college courses are not for credit. Brown awards a Certificate of Completion to those students who instructors identify as having met all course requirements. All students receive end-of-course written feedback from their instructor in a Course Performance Report. Students can expect to receive certificates and performance reports within 8 weeks of their course ending.
To be successful in your online course at Brown, we recommend reviewing our Expectations and Strategies for Online Learning Success.
Costs for each non-credit online course vary. At this time, there are no financial aid or scholarship opportunities for the online pre-college courses. Please review our refund policies.
