Looks great, I like my Star PD too!
I'd seen those holster before 4th,, have you had yours long enough to see how they hold up? I've had issues with the elastic types giving up the ghost pretty quickly. I hadn't had one in a long time so maybe the elastic is better now, is retention OK too? That always seemed to be an issue with mine when carrying a heavy-ish gun, it never seemed to stay in place very well and the elastic didn't last very long, If I remember right mine was toast in about a year of only occassional use. The one I did have was comfortable too, even though it had other issues with it.
Whats the poop 4th? Any good?
No time limits, no return authorizations, no gimmicks, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. If you are ever not satisfied with an item, just return it, at any time, for a complete refund or exchange
4th , get you some fishing shirts that's what I have for them cold summer time weather over here.
I thought FL recently amended their CCW law to allow for "accidental exposure" and similar events. That would seem to cover "printing" as well?
Kernel I do not know? Please, you read the law and tell me? Dang problem, as I mentioned.. Legal concealed carry holders were going about their business down here.. Well due to light clothing, Sister Mary spotted the weapon and called the Police.. Poor L.O.s got involved and got fed up.. Leave the guy alone he is legal..
So to rectify the problem they, I guess, made appearance of a weapon legal?? One of our members of our forum is a member of the Florida CCW forum.. To answer your question, I really do not know?
Again. Not kidding. Concealed is very very difficult in warm weather, unless your James Bond.. So I guess?? They passed that law to help.. Hell I do not know. You guys read it and tell me?
Our Deputies Lake County, thank God, are 100% pro gun. So we really do not worry to much..
He came here from Detroit.. Swear to God.. He wore a flowered shirt, black socks up too his knees..Black shined shoes, straw hat, cigar, speckled sun glasses and went too the beach in Daytona.. Talk about laugh.. Damn I loved him.. The ultimate Yankee tourist.. :rofl:
these guns are about self defense not target shooting there made for a guy thats 10 feet away trying to hurt you .Quote:
Lots of people don't think those "troth" type sights are very good,,,I shoot very well with them myself, I don't know what the issue is, there real fast at target acquisition,,
I agree they should work pretty well an not snag . one less thing to go wrong .
nice gun Id love to have it .

The Good News
Due to advances in HIV care and treatment, many women living with HIV (HIV+) are living longer, healthier lives. As women living with HIV think about their futures, some are deciding to have the babies they always wanted.
The good news is that advances in HIV treatment have also greatly lowered the chances that a mother will pass HIV on to her baby (also known as perinatal or "mother-to-child" HIV transmission). The World Health Organization reports HIV that can be perinatally transmitted as much as 45 percent of the time when mothers are not taking HIV drugs. However, with HIV treatment, the chances of perinatal transmission can be less than five in 100 births. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if the mother takes HIV drugs and is virally suppressed (viral load is undetectable), the chances of transmission can be less than one in 100. It is also important to note that studies have shown that being pregnant will not make HIV progress faster in the mother.
One way we learn about how HIV drugs affect pregnancy is through the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry. Pregnant women living with HIV are encouraged to register (through their health care providers) with the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry at http://www.APRegistry.com. This registry tracks all women in the US who are pregnant and taking HIV drugs to see if these medications are harmful to the developing baby.

Before You Get Pregnant
It is important to plan carefully before getting pregnant:
- Discuss your plans with your HIV health care provider to make sure you are on the right treatment plan for your own health and to reduce the risk of perinatal (mother-to-child) transmission (more about this in the next sections)
- Find an obstetrician (OB) or midwife who is familiar with HIV care. He or she can explain your options for getting pregnant with as little risk to your partner as possible. For more information on getting pregnant and options for safer conception, see our fact sheet on Getting Pregnant and HIV.
- Ask your HIV health care provider and your OB or midwife to talk with each other and coordinate your care before and during your pregnancy
- Get screened for sexually transmitted diseases or infections (STDs), hepatitis B and C, and tuberculosis
- Do your best to give up smoking, drinking, and drugs - all of these can be bad for your health and the health of your baby.
- Start taking pregnancy vitamins ("prenatal" vitamins) that contain folic acid while you are trying to become pregnant. This can reduce the rates of some birth defects.
- If friends and family do not support your decision to have a child, put together a support network of people who are caring, non-judgmental, and well educated about HIV and pregnancy. Your network can include medical providers, counselors, and other women living with HIV who are considering pregnancy or who have had children.
If you are living with HIV or partnered with someone who is, and you want more information on having a child, please see our fact sheet on Getting Pregnant and HIV.
The Pregnancy Guidelines
Several groups of experts on pregnancy in women living with HIV have developed guidelines that provide information about appropriate care and treatment for women living with HIV who are, or may become, pregnant.
As a first step, the pregnancy guidelines issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) recommend a thorough check up, including a number of blood tests, to find out about your health and the status of your HIV infection. A resistance test (see The Well Project's fact sheet on resistance for info about this test) should be included if you:
- Are starting HIV drugs
- Are taking HIV drugs and have a detectable viral load (500 – 1,000 copies or more)
The results of a resistance test can help you and your health care provider choose the best drugs to take.
Recent studies have shown that starting HIV treatment as early as possible, even when someone feels well and has a high CD4 count (a strong immune system), is the best way to stay healthy while living with HIV. Also, starting HIV treatment and having an undetectable viral load before getting pregnant is healthier not only for the mother, but also for the baby. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV, regardless of their CD4 count, begin HIV treatment as soon as possible and continue it lifelong. This is important for the health of the woman as well as for her baby, since HIV drugs can reduce the risk of perinatal transmission.
HIV drugs need to be taken just as they are prescribed to have the best chance of working (see our fact sheet on adherence for more info). Also, if a woman living with HIV takes HIV drugs and gets her viral load very low, she reduces the chances of spreading HIV to her sexual partners.
HIV Drugs and Pregnancy
Deciding when to start treatment depends on your own health and when you find out you are pregnant. Many HIV drugs are safe when taken during pregnancy, and studies have shown that the developing baby is healthier when the mother begins HIV treatment before getting pregnant.
However, there are certain drugs that should be avoided or used with caution because of possible side effects in the mother or the developing baby. Some examples are the combination of Videx (didanosine, ddI) and Zerit (stavudine, d4T) or the combination of Zerit and Retrovir (zidovudine or AZT). Viramune (nevirapine) should not be started in women living with HIV who have CD4 cell counts over 250.
Guidelines on taking efavirenz (brand name Sustiva; also found in Atripla) during early pregnancy remain conflicted. The US Department of Health and Human Services' July 2016 guidelines suggest that:
- women who wish to become pregnant should not take efavirenz because it may cause birth defects when taken during early pregnancy
- taking efavirenz appears safe after eight weeks of pregnancy
- women who are successfully virally suppressed on a treatment regimen containing efavirenz who become pregnant can continue on efavirenz throughout pregnancy
The World Health Organization (WHO)'s guidelines, however, suggest that efavirenz can be taken throughout pregnancy, including during the first trimester (12 weeks). The WHO's recommendations are based on a report in which researchers reviewed many different studies and found no connection between taking efavirenz during the first trimester of pregnancy and an increased risk of birth defects.
It is important that you discuss the risks and benefits of the HIV drugs with your health care provider so that you can decide which treatments are best for you and your baby. In the US, your health care provider can call the National Perinatal HIV Hotline for free, expert advice on all aspects of caring for pregnant women living with HIV.
The DHHS's pregnancy guidelines make the following recommendations:
For Women Living with HIV and Not Taking HIV Drugs
It is important for a pregnant woman to take a combination of HIV drugs for her own health as well as to reduce the chances of passing HIV to her baby. HIV treatment should start as soon as possible. Many HIV drugs are safe when taken during pregnancy.
It is important that HIV treatment continue during labor and delivery. Women with viral loads of 1000 or more should receive intravenous (IV) administration of Retrovir (zidovudine), regardless of their HIV drug regimens during pregnancy or their modes of delivery. Women with a viral load of less than 1000 do not need to receive intravenous Retrovir.
After delivery, the baby should receive liquid Retrovir for six weeks. When the mother has received HIV drugs and remained virally suppressed, health care providers may consider giving the baby four weeks of liquid Retrovir.
After the birth of the baby, it is important for the mother to talk with her health care provider about the risks and benefits of continuing her own HIV treatment. The DHHS recommends that all adults, including new mothers, receive HIV drugs regardless of CD4 count.
For Women Living with HIV Who Are Already Taking HIV Drugs
Women in this situation should continue taking their current HIV drugs if they are working well to control the virus. Unnecessary switching of HIV drugs can lead to loss of viral control and thus increase the risk of passing HIV to the developing baby.
If a viral load test shows that the drugs are not working, switch to a more effective combination. The drugs should be continued during labor and delivery, during which time IV Retrovir should also be given to the mother if she has a viral load of 1000 or more. Women with a viral load of less than 1000 can continue to take their current regimen and do not need the addition of IV Retrovir. After delivery, the baby should receive liquid Retrovir for four or six weeks.
For Pregnant Women Living With HIV Who Are in Labor and Have Not Taken HIV Drugs
A woman in labor who has not taken HIV drugs can still reduce the risk of passing HIV to her baby by using HIV drugs during labor and delivery and treating the baby for a short time after birth. The DHHS guidelines recommend the following:
- For the mother: IV Retrovir for the mother during labor
- For the baby: a combination of six weeks of Retrovir plus three doses of Viramune in the first week of life (at birth, 48 hours after birth, and 96 hours after the second dose)
After the baby is born, it is recommended that the mother start HIV treatment for her own health.
For Babies Born to Women Living with HIV Who Have Not Taken HIV Drugs Before or During Labor
The baby can still receive treatment to reduce the risk of transmission. The DHHS guidelines recommend the following:
- A combination of six weeks of Retrovir plus three doses of Viramune in the first week of life (at birth, 48 hours after birth, and 96 hours after the second dose)
After the baby is born, it is recommended that the mother start HIV treatment for her own health.
Tests, Procedures, and Delivery
There are a number of invasive prenatal tests, such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and umbilical blood sampling that may increase the risk of HIV transmission to the baby. Talk to your health care provider if you need these tests. Certain procedures during delivery, such as invasive monitoring and forceps- or vacuum-assisted delivery, should be avoided if possible.
Viral loads should be checked when first coming into prenatal care, when first starting HIV drugs, and every month thereafter until the mother's viral load is undetectable. At that point, viral loads can be checked every trimester (every 12 weeks) during pregnancy. The viral load should be checked at 36 weeks of pregnancy before going into labor to determine the type of delivery that is best for the mother and baby.
There are 2 types of delivery, cesarean (C-section) and vaginal delivery:
Women living with HIV do not need to have a caesarian section (C-section) unless they have a viral load over 1000 copies, have an unknown viral load, or need a C-section for other pregnancy-related reasons. If a woman needs an elective (or planned C-section), it is done before labor begins and before the mother's "water" (sac of fluid that surrounds the baby) breaks. This reduces the baby's contact with the mother's blood and may reduce the risk of transmission in certain cases. Since C-sections require surgery, they carry some risks. Women who have C-sections are more likely to get infections than those who give birth vaginally. C-sections are recommended for pregnant women living with HIV who:
- Have an unknown viral load
- Have a viral load greater than 1,000 copies at 36 weeks of pregnancy
- Need a C-section for reasons other than preventing HIV transmission
Vaginal delivery
For a woman on combination HIV treatment with a low viral load (less than 1,000), a C-section has not been shown to further reduce her already very low risk of transmitting HIV.
The decision of which type of delivery is best for you should be discussed with your health care provider early in your pregnancy.
After the Baby Is Born
During the first four to six weeks, the baby will need to take Retrovir (and possibly other HIV drugs). A blood test called a complete blood count (CBC) should be performed on the newborn baby as a baseline.
The baby will receive a test for HIV viral load to determine if he or she is infected. This test looks for the HIV virus, rather than HIV antibodies. HIV antibody tests, which are commonly used to determine HIV infection in adults, should not be used in newborns since babies carry their mother's antibodies for up to 18 months.
HIV virus testing should be done when the baby is first born, at one month, and at four months. If the baby has two negative tests by four months, the baby does not have HIV. If the baby has a positive HIV test, then the baby has HIV and must start HIV treatment right away. Many experts do an HIV antibody test when the baby is 12 to 18 months old just to be sure the antibodies from the mother have cleared from the baby's immune system.
Since it is possible to transmit HIV through breast milk, in the US and other high-resource countries where water is safe and formula is available and affordable, it is strongly advised that you not breastfeed. You can still have a strong bond with your child even if you bottle feed.
If you live where safe water is not easy to get, the risk to your baby of life-threatening conditions from formula feeding with unsafe water may be higher than the risk of HIV infection through breastfeeding. In some areas, formula may also be too expensive or not regularly available. If you are in either of these situations, it is better to feed your baby on breast milk alone while continuing to take your HIV drugs.
The good news is that breast milk contains many important antibodies to keep your baby healthy and has been found to have a protein Tenascin-C that helps neutralize the HIV virus. While it is still possible to transmit HIV through breastfeeding, the chances are less if you are on HIV drugs and your viral load is undetectable.
Mixed feeding, in which a baby is given breast milk as well as other liquids (e.g., formula, sugar water, gripe water), is not recommended. It is currently thought that mixed feeding may damage the lining of babies' stomachs and make them more likely to get HIV when exposed to it in breast milk. If, for whatever reason, you cannot feed your baby exclusively on formula, it is recommended that you take HIV drugs and feed with breast milk alone.
The WHO recommends that if you breastfeed, breast milk should be the only source of food for your baby for the first six months of life. Between months six and 12, it recommends that the baby be introduced slowly to other foods until it is weaned from breast milk at 12 months (assuming the baby is receiving proper nutrition from regular food at that point). While breastfeeding, it is important that the mother continue to take her HIV drugs to limit the chances of passing HIV to her baby.
It is also important not to feed your baby food that has been chewed first by someone who is living with HIV (pre-masticated). This can spread HIV to your child.
In Conclusion
Deciding to have a baby is a big step for any woman, but for a woman living with HIV, it is even more complicated. Talk to your HIV health care provider and obstetrician (OB) or midwife before you start trying to get pregnant. If you plan ahead, there are many things you can do to protect your health and the health of your new baby.

Hi all, i worked for a beekeeper who a few months ago purchased 6 pallets of infected boxes and took them back to his home town and bee shed, his intentions was to have them radiated be using them, but around 6 weeks ago ( without radiating the boxes) we took them out to use them on beehives that were "suspect" AFB anyway, every hive got a dose of antibiotics.
Since quitting not long after (for unrelated reasons) i have brought some bee boxes myself that wont be anywhere near his hives by the way, and in doing my own reasearch i discovered the true seriousness of the disease and that antibiotics only mask the problem.
The boxes were stored in the shed wraped tightly in plastic, when unwrapping them they had a potent smell (almost like famenting vegimite).
Anyway dose that mean all his hives would be infected? would it get thru alll his extraction equipment and into his other hives?
If so im definatly never going to buy anything off him or go near them again, i actually thought he would know better.

Starting Babies on Allergy Related Foods Early
In a recent KidsDr.com website article, Pediatrician, Sue Hubbard, writes about Food Myths & Your Baby. Dr. Hubbard emphasizes the need to introduce a variety of foods to children when they start eating solid foods. The myths relate to a nonexistent forbidden foods list parents should avoid in order to prevent their child from having an allergic reaction.
New recommendations, from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), support Dr. Hubbard's encouragement of including foods such as wheat, milk, eggs, fruits, nuts and shellfish in your child's diet.
In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued guidelines that suggested children should put off having milk until age 1, eggs until age 2 and peanuts, shellfish and nuts until age 3. However, in 2008 the AAP revised those guidelines citing little evidence that delays prevented the development of food allergies. It didn't say when and how to introduce such foods though.
The AAAAI's recommendations address those concerns by suggesting foods that are considered highly allergic be slowly introduced in small amounts- after first foods such as cereals, fruits and vegetables have been eaten and tolerated. Babies can be introduced to the more allergic type foods as long as they are prepared correctly. Foods should be mushy and easy for an infant to eat or in the case of eggs and fruits cut into very small pieces.
"There's been more studies that find that if you introduce them early it may actually prevent food allergy," said David Fleischer, co-author of the article and a pediatric allergist at National Jewish Health in Denver. "We need to get the message out now to pediatricians, primary-care physicians and specialists that these allergenic foods can be introduced early."
The theory behind introducing foods, that are considered the most likely to cause an allergic reaction, early and in small doses is that children may actually be able to build up immunity to them. If introduction is delayed, their immune systems may treat them as foreign substances and attack them, resulting in an allergy.
Dr. Fleischer believes more study results are needed before there is any conclusive evidence that early introduction actually prevents allergies. There are several trials currently under way and the highly anticipated results should be available next year.
Lots of children suffer from food allergies. In the U.S. approximately 6 million children or 8% have one or more food allergies. They also seem to be on the rise and experts are not sure why. One possible explanation from some experts is that westernized countries have become more hygienic. Children don't have the same exposure to germs, which affects the development of the immune system.
Vitamin D may also play a role. In a study out this week in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, researchers took blood samples from more than 5,000 babies and found that those with low vitamin D levels were three times more likely to have a food allergy.
The new recommendations from the AAAAI committee say an allergist should be consulted in cases when an infant has eczema that is difficult to control, or an existing food allergy. For children who have a sibling with a peanut allergy and have a 7% greater risk of a peanut allergyparents may request an evaluation but the risks of introducing peanut at home in infancy are low, the recommendations noted.
Food allergies can cause severe reactions and should never be taken lightly. If you are interested in introducing highly allergic food into your child's diet to give your child's immune system a boost- talk with your pediatrician about his or hers recommended method.

I live in LALA Land (aka los angeles) not too far from the beach. It's urban but i have a lovely garden which no doubt will be lovelier once the bees work their magic. Looking forward to the honey too!

THe dude had over 140tackles last yr and 13.5 TFL.. Hes a freaking stud! I think Jaquain WIlliams is the ultra active tackle machine we need at LB for yrs to come but having another player that can make plays behind the line and is all over the field coulden't hurt..
ya, Greene is darn quick! He definetly has cover ability, showing the Saftey in him, and he actually shedded blocks better then i thought he would at his size.. He lined up all over the place.. I'm very impressed! There was one play where Jantz rolled out and was in trouble and as he was running toward sideline, Greene closed on the play from way out in a matter of no time, and was right in on the play..

Columbia police investigate armed robbery at Aspen Heights
Police: Suspect robbed two women at gunpoint in troubled student housing complex
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Police are investigating an armed robbery at the Aspen Heights complex.
Around 6:21 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the student housing complex for a reported robbery involving a gun.
According to police, the suspect approached a woman who was walking her dog outside of her home. The suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and told her to go inside, where he demanded money from her and another woman.
The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. Neither victim was injured.
Police called for a K-9 unit to the area to help track the suspect, but the search was unsuccessful.
For about 45 minutes, officers set up a perimeter around the complex and blocked both entrances to the neighborhood. That blockade has since been lifted.
During the lockdown, residents told ABC 17 News they were missing finals because they could not leave the complex.
The suspect is described as a black man, late teens to early 20s, approximately 5'10" tall, with a medium complexion, gap in his front teeth, and short braided hair. He was last seen wearing a black puffy coat, gray sweatshirt, dark pants and white shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Columbia Police Department's non-emergency number at 573-442-6131 or CrimeStoppers at 573-875-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.

Calories in Jamie Oliver dishes?
So this is the latest big news. Jamie Oliver's dishes have more calories than ready to eat junk. Some media outlets (we know how scientific journalists can be) even concluded that ready to eat junk was healthier (riiiight. Ever heard of additives, food colouring, sugar where no sugar is supposed to be...?). Let's not even mention taste here, who doesn't come into the equation, it seems (a happy stomach contributes to a happy mind).
So, journalists are surprised, shoked, amazed. What, Jamie Oliver, the (too?) successful cook uses butter instead of margarine and loads of parmesan and olive oil? Have they ever watched the show? Yes, Jamie Oliver loves his parmesan and butter. Do you have to use as much parmesan and butter? No. So don't. Problem solved. I always reduce the amount of fat and sugar in Jamie Oliver's recipe. Other than that, the recipes are healthy and diverse. And, I agree that organic food often tastes wayyyyy better than the industrial replacements.
I've cooked several Jamie Oliver recipes (bread soup with less parmesan and fontina cheese), 3 sister stew (amazing and healthy!! I just add fresh tomatoes), pasta with rabbit sauce (mmmh and rabbit is a lean meat, so just go easy on the olive oil), sheperd's pie (same here, go easy on the fat and voil�) etc...
Any half decent cook can slightly adapt the recipes to make them leaner. I can't say the same think for many Nigella recipes (sorry, Nigella, I love your cuisine but I can't cook any of your comfort food unless I buy a new wardrobe).
So, I may be French but Jamie Oliver is my first choice when I prepare a meal for my friends or family. I love his modern cuisine based on getting the best out of glorious ingredients and his taste for everyday food, he adapts and refines.
Would I like the number of calories to be added to the recipes? Sure, that would be great.
Would I like suggestions on how to reduce the number of calories without compromising taste?

Re: Calories in Jamie Oliver dishes?
Hi Mirabelle and welcome to the forums.
I'm a little confused. Sorry, it's late here.
I have all of Jamie's books bar one and it's too late for me to look up the recipes to which you refer. I have guests and don't want to wake them.
The latest, 15MM, and its tv show have the caloric count per serve listed at the beginning of each meal. I know because the book is beside me.
The earlier books possibly/ probably not.
The point is that he's at least started. More than many celebrity or not chefs have done.
You say that you've adapted the Jamie recipes that you've cooked to serve your own needs. Isn't that what we all do once we achieve some form of culinary expertise?
I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what point you are making.
Am sure it's me. As said, it's late.
Look forward to reading more of your posts

Re: Calories in Jamie Oliver dishes?
Is this the article you mean?
http://pcrm.org/media/news/doctors-pick … ks-of-2011
I started to say that we all realize that some foods are 'splurges' and one can probably find recipes in all the classic cookbooks for foods that would qualify as being too caloric, etc. for everyday. I believe the meatball sandwich cited in this article is from 30-minute meals which are touted as 'everyday' meals. Then, I can see the point that the recipe is really tipping the scales too far in the unhealthy direction if it is considered a basic everyday meal. It is up to each person to determine how many calories/fat, etc. to consume.

text: I'm sorry but I'm tired of the words "rotating" Kim landed 4 beautiful jumps and a fifth one was just a tentative but clean on one leg. Kostner in that skate was a mess....I'm tired of high PCS for messy messy programs with lots of stumbles and lack of control. I'm not a Kostner hater by any means either. I have defended her when she skated well for years, and I'm trilled she's winning now. But that skate was not a silver winning deserved program.. Gold at that night should have been between Kim/Asada... I won't argue for Nakano's UTRS either. However, I don't see how Kostner's victory over Kwan was some disgrace.. Kwan had her own mistakes and completely bombed one segment of the competition. It was close between the two. In terms of Trixis wins being unfair...Trixi won because she focused on the part of the sport that scored the most. By all accounts she deserved those huge scores in figures. I'm not sure how anyone can say its unfair, everyone went in knowing that figures mattered the most. As for Meissner, one could argue that her World title was unfair, but I'm not sure how she's an undeserving world medalist. Does anyone really want to argue that Meissner didn't deserve at least third at that worlds?

great beers and a much needed spot in West Ashley!
U love those grape so much I get there every year when I can remember!!
Thank you for providing Low Country Families with SAFE poultry and for being Earth conscious Responsible Farmers <3
What a great place. Amazing product. Amazing people that clearly love what they do.
Enjoyed the tour on the farm a year ago. My son went on a field trip. The class had the chance to sample milk and cheese. All the kids got to pet and hold the animals. Learned some things about goats that I didn't know.
Excellent spot. The Bun Mi sandwich was perfect, with a nice steamed bun exterior, and bahn mi style pork inside. Their charcuterie is well made and full of salty goodness. I am glad they are downtown, and not near my house. I would gain way too much weight eating there.
The only problem I have with this place is that it's close to work, and after I eat there I don't want anything but a nap. Greasy goodness...
Really cool spot with amazing quality and variety of plants. Want an obscure heirloom varietal and all the knowhow you could need to make sure it thrives in our Charleston climate? Even if you want a standard item, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun (not crowded, noisy, and hot like many of the garden stores in peak season), the plants are healthy and well marked, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Tommy is the Man great guy that has the best shrimp you can buy
This is an awesome place! If you have not visited the vineyard and farm, you must do so during the 12th Muscadine Festival during Labor Day weekend of 2015.
Excellent business
Save the trek to Market St. and pick up a sweet grass basket from Gigi,next to Gruber Farm stand. Small selection but great prices.
A must visit for fresh eats.
Fantastic location and great vibe. I have gone to a couple of free events at this location and PBC has a great open air atmosphere.
They have delicious chocolates, baked goods, coffees, and even baguettes; Where can I get a salami sandwich for myself and a blueberry dark chocolate bar for my wife and then two cups of coffee to wake us both up after? Christophe, that's where.
Oops, my previous review was suppose to reflect 5 stars and not 1. This place is awesome!
The Pluff Mud Porter and Dorchester Lite are my go to beers. Now they have the Follicle Brown in cans too, woohoo!
This is a great market that defines the meaning of sustainability by keeping it local. There are lots of vendors selling their amazing products in an easy to park, room to walk about, and fun atmosphere.
While I can appreciate the honorable gentleman's (anti-mike's peanuts) opinion. I have to agree to disagree. Granted he wasn't born here, but Mike has been in this area since the mid-90's which makes him as Charlestonian as anyone else. He's been featured on National Television for his products and his personality; He's sent his product overseas to the troops. The mayors of Charleston and North Charleston frequent his stand at the market. And he's been a fixture at the Charleston farmers market, Charleston Tea Plantation's First Flush festival and MUSC for years. Mike is notably gruff at times, and has a sarcastic wit (comically so), but at least you know without a doubt about his strength of character. His notoriety brings great credit to our beautiful city and its surrounding communities. Your comment smacks of a bias against "northerners", many of whom have contributed greatly to our ranking as one of the country top tourist destinations. Would you (anti-mike) be more comfortable if he dressed like Colonel Sanders?

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice, clean and cosy. We had a wonderful stay at Luis place. Our contact person was really kind as well. We can totally recommend this place.
Thanks for accomodation.
It was nice that we had the chance to pospone our arrival date, because of our failure of booking the flight at the same time (one week later).
The rooms are nice and the atmosphere is OK.
Maybe to fix the entrance gate for the future guests ;-)
If you borrow bicycles in the surrounding area, it's possible to reach the most interesting spots there. To the Lisbon centre you should take the train in Estoril and it will take you about less than 30 minutes.

We had a great stay at this place. Everything was very well taken care off. The appartment has everything you need and is located near all the places you should visit in Lisbon. Laura was at our service all the time and informed us about good places in the area. Thank you very much! If we ever visit Lisbon again we will definetly come back!
We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights in October (3 adults + 3 children).
It has been a very nice staying.
The apartment is quite nice, comfortable with 2 bathrooms, the kitchen is very well equipped.
Very close to Marques de Pombal and then to Metro taxi, bus.
Excellent choice and a good value for money.
Hello! The Apartment was perfectly located, a very nice street. Since we came from Sweden and Norway we are used to a high standard and we thought the bathroom was not nice. It could have been better cleaned and the showercurtin has to be changed. The rest of the Apartment was very cosy!
Regards Jenny Svensson.
Experience in Lisbon is very good and highly recommended. The apartment was great. We received a very friendly lady Laura at all times offered their help. The entrance to the apartment is at 15h00 but our train arrived at 7.00 am and not put us leave bags hits early. We arrived around 11 am on the floor and practically already had finished. The apartment is new and is very well. The apartment has everything, iron, kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, television, wifi ... The only downside that we would perhaps be the bathroom light is very dark and out of the shower when you have to mop that is not well sealed and shower water escapes. But for everything else, incredible. Worth staying here. The square of the flowers is a well-known landmark in Lisbon and is very close to everything. You can easily take a taxi or tram very good connections bus.Hay not forget that there is a small supermarket just below the apartment. I recommend the experience to everyone. =)
La experiencia en Lisboa es muy buena y más que recomendable. El apartamento estaba genial. Nos recibió Laura una mujer muy simpática que en todo momento ofreció su ayuda. La entrada al piso es a las 15.00h pero nuestro tren llegaba a las 7.00 a.m y no nos pusieron pega en dejar las maletas antes de tiempo. Llegamos hacia las 11 de la mañana al piso y prácticamente ya lo tenían terminado. El apartamento es nuevo y esta muy bien. El apartamento tiene de todo, plancha, cafetera, lavadora, lavavajillas, televisión, wifi...La única pega que pondríamos quizá sería la luz del baño que es muy oscura y que cuando sales de la ducha hay que pasar la fregona porque no está bien sellada la ducha y se escapa agua. Pero por todo lo demás, increible. Merece la pena la estancia allí. La plaza de las flores es un hito muy conocido en Lisboa y está muy cerca de todo. Puedes coger fácilmente el tranvía taxi o bus.Hay muy buenas conexiones por no olvidar que hay un pequeño supermercado justo debajo del apartamento. Recomiendo la experiencia a todo el mundo. =)
Living in the city center!
German: The apartment was very clean, the decor was great only the location has surprised us somewhat. The environment can have a scare at first glance a little, because it is a busy area with lots of different cultures and groups. Since people there are very friendly, one should not be fooled by the first impression! The on-site support (us Laura has received) is great! We got directly valuable insider tips and made us feel very welcome !!!
English: Clean and comfortable apartment, but the neighborhood was surprisingly mixed with different people from different cultures. If you let go of all prejudices, you are surrounded by friendly people who can be very helpful. Here you get a nice welcome with a lot of precious inside information. We felt at home!
Living in the city centre!
Deutsch: Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, die Einrichtung war klasse nur die Lage hat uns etwas überrascht. Die Umgebung kann einen im ersten Moment ein wenig verängstigen, da es eine belebte Gegend mit vielen verschiedenen Kulturen und Gruppierungen ist. Da die Menschen aber sehr freundlich sind, sollte man sich von dem ersten Eindruck nicht täuschen lassen! Die Betreuung vor Ort (uns hat Laura empfangen) ist super! Wir haben direkt wertvolle Insider Tipps bekommen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!!!

I have many of these trying to get in my hives. I had a weaker hive that I had started feeding and noticed these got into the hive and up in the top hive feeder so I'm now combining two weaker hives. I'm also putting in an entrance reducer and plugging the cork hole.
In anycase, I'm just trying to understand what type of bee they are and if there is anything I can do. They did quite a bit of damage to the one hive and I'm trying to figure out what I could've done to prevent it.

Audie Award Winner, Audiobook of the Year, 2013
Audie Award Nominee, Best Solo Narration, 2013
Graham Greene's evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
The End of the Affair, set in London during and just after World War II, is the story of a flourishing love affair between Maurice Bendrix and Sarah Miles. After a violent episode at Maurice's apartment, Sarah suddenly and without explanation breaks off the affair. This very intimate story about what actually constitutes love is enhanced by Mr. Firth's narration, who said "this book struck me very, very particularly at the time when I read it and I thought my familiarity with it would give the journey a personal slant."
"I'm grateful for this honor," Firth said when this production was recognized by the Audie Awards as Audiobook of the Year for 2013, "and grateful for the opportunity to narrate one of my favorite stories. A great novel told in the first person makes for the best script an actor could imagine. None better than The End of the Affair.... Theater and film each offer their own challenges and rewards, but narration is a new practice for me and the audiobook performance provides exhilarating possibilities for both actors and listeners. I'm thrilled to be involved in bringing this remarkable work of fiction to a wider audience, and thankful to Audible for offering me the opportunity to perform it and to engage with so many who share my passion for storytelling."
The End of the Affair is part of Audible's A-List Collection, featuring the world's most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select. For more great books performed by Hollywood's finest, click here.

"Excellent performance of Graham Greene classic"
I bought this book quite a while ago but was moved to listen by a great customer review. Colin Firth, one of my favorite actors is truly an outstanding reader. He made this book a real listening experience. I can't say enough about his excellent expression and ability to bring the narrator's character and his emotions to life. This is a difficult book, it is full of strong emotions and demanding questions and it could easily be misread. I was drawn into the book immediately and captured entirely by the narration. This is a terrific example of a good book enhanced even further by a great reading. The themes of love and hate, death and faith are so weighty yet so well served by such a thoughtful performance.
As an Audible Editor I listen for a living! British classics, YA novels, speculative fiction, and anything quirky, fascinating, or heart-wrenching.
"Colin Firth Kills It"
Ok I'm only halfway through The End of the Affair, but I've been talking everyone's ears off about it around the office and just had to go ahead and write a review before finishing it (something I'm generally opposed to doing).
I'm not sure quite how to capture just how exceptional Firth's performance is, but I'll give you two good examples. Graham Greene writes a lot about how close together love and hate are (apathy being the true opposite of both), and Colin Firth totally connects with his meaning. When Firth says the word "hate" you really feel rapture simmering beneath the surface. When he utters the word "love" he spits it out like venom. The two are irreparably intertwined. The subject matter is there - this being, in essence, a record of great passion gone wrong - and Colin Firth does it justice. Every word is impassioned without ever being too much or over the top. Narrators have to be careful to walk this fine line when dealing with emotionally heavy material and Firth succeeds perfectly. But Bendrix, the protagonist isn't just a man of great feeling – he's also a curmudgeon, he's difficult, he's maybe a little cruel – but Firth makes you care for him despite the fact that you really don't like him. Another vocal juggling act performed without flaw.
I have never read The End of the Affair before and only have a vague memory of seeing the movie, so I don't really know where the book is going to end up – but I just hope I can somehow elongate the delicious few hours left that I have with it. Seriously, seriously, seriously – don't miss this performance.
"Colin whispers in my ear, and I melt"
To my shame I have never before read "The End of the Affair". To my joy my first experience of Graham Greene's extraordinary words was with the performance of Colin Firth. I have, for better or worse, begun to restrict myself to only a few narrators. Those voices, so intimate, like a lover in my ears. Listening to another can feel ... wrong, disloyal. As Colin speaks he inhabits the dejection of the abandoned lover, the hopeless innocence of the cuckolded and the faint quaver of the loved. Greene created a core of desperate longing entwined in a mystery. Colin's performance is compelling, evoking a searing honesty. His female voice is perfect; Colin chooses a modulation of his own, avoiding a character and thus striping further that naked, fragile honesty. I am unsure as yet, how I feel about the fourth and final act of the novel, merely because a theme jars with my own atheism. I easily forgive that mild uncertainty in thanks for the moment early in the third when my breath caught: and Colin and Graham took me somewhere...unexpected.
"a rare 5-star review from me"
Not only do I rarely give 5-star reviews for performance AND story, but I also rarely listen to an audiobook all in one day. So this was the audiobook I couldn't put down! Usually I just listen while exercising or driving and a book gets listened to over multiple days. Of course, I knew I would love Colin Firth's narration (great voice and accent), but the story and the writing talents of Greene were also compelling to listen to... or possibly Colin made it just that much more compelling. Not sure. Either way, I loved this audiobook. Now I'm back looking for more from both Colin and Greene.
I love words that can take me into other worlds.
"Incandescent Narration"
This is without question the most beautifully narrated book I have experienced in the 10 or more years I have been listening to audio books. It also shows how an exceptional audio book can be so much more effective than prose on a page. I had tried and failed to read The End of the Affair a couple of times in the past, always succumbing to boredom over the unlikable characters, turgid story, and narrow emotional range. (I realize that I'm swimming against the stream here, but even heartfelt anger becomes tedious after a while.) Still, with an actor as gifted as Colin Firth as the narrator, I felt it was worth investing in one more try.
I am so glad I did! Firth made you feel the pain of the characters, pain that had merely seemed self-indulgent when written on the page. His voice gave depth to what otherwise felt like a shallow story line. And while I still found the end of the book to be mawkish, the narrator's many layered voice won't leave my head. That is what a superb audio book can do.
"This book is SO GOOD!!"
A few years ago, I'd seen the movie version of this novel (which is also excellent, by the way), and I'd put it on my mental list of things to do to read the book. And then, of course, I promptly forgot about it...until I saw this Audible.com version with COLIN FIRTH reading it! What a treat!
The story is fascinating and dark and wonderful, and Colin Firth's reading of the novel is exceptional. As usual, his voice is wonderfully nuanced and emotive, and the timbre of his speaking style pairs especially well with the nature of this story. The voices he does for the different characters are not incredibly differentiated, but all of the voices seem to subtly evoke the deep emotions of each person.
Overall, it is just a fantastic listen--I highly recommend it!
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"I Hate It, I Love It....."
I know I'm in the minority here and many will think me shallow.... but dare I call this drivel? Okay so for me, this book went on and on..... I love God... I hate God....I love my lover.....I hate my lover....I love my spouse.... I hate my spouse...I love myself....I hate myself.....life is random....life is by design....there is a God....there is not a God.....and so forth. Now I saved you a credit, except P. S. Colin Firth did a terrific job narrating.
"Complex, intimate, compelling"
When Colin Firth reads the story, I believe it is true. Though Bendrix talks of hate, it is passion and love that come through. In the beginning I was most struck by the brief emotional intimacy between Bendrix and Harry (Sarah's husband). Sarah's voice seems more distant until we get a glimpse at her diary. The experience of love that you feel in your soul and in your heart, including joy but also pain, confusion and doubt truly come out in Firth's performance.
A freelance screenwriter with two feature length screenplays to date and one short...I am also an avid reader.
"Enter the psyche of a man in love!"
The inner world of a man tortured by a romance ending too soon.
It was the period when he finds her again and there is hope for their romance.
The investigator..love the accent.
The coming together of Bendrix and his lover's husband after her death.
Please have Colin Firth be a featured narrator again! I would buy anything he narrates.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"This review has NO beginning and NO end!"
This review has no beginning and no end. I should probably start then with the obvious -- I love G.G.. I love his Catholic novels (now having finished the fourth of that group). Greene's strength is his ability to make his flawed characters both repellant and lovely (or said simpler: human) at the same time. He approaches his thesis through unconventional approaches. Who but Greene would illuminate man's relationship with God with an affair as the novel's structural metaphor? Greene's relationship with God and his Catholicism is complex and uneasy at times and that is what transforms his novels into Art

Pacific Power agrees to fix Mirror Pond dam leak
$250,000 project comes amid debate over pond, dam's future
BEND, Ore. - PacifiCorp announced Tuesday it will reinforce a section of the company's dam in downtown Bend to address a leak in one of the structure's wooden panels that developed in October last fall.
The installation of steel sheet pile upstream of a leaking panel is planned to begin in April, at an estimated cost of $250,000.
The company stopped generating power at the dam after the leak was discovered. In November, the utility announced it had decided it is not cost-effective to rebuild the entire facility to generate power for current and future generations of customers across its six-state territory.
PacifiCorp has since been in formal discussions with Bend Parks and Recreation and the city of Bend regarding a potential transfer of the dam to a local entity for the purpose of maintaining the Mirror Pond impoundment.
"Though the dam remains safe, we fully understand the community's concern about the potential for low water levels during summer recreation months," said Mark Tallman, PacifiCorp's vice president for renewable resources.
"It's possible Mirror Pond would have remained full this summer without this fix, but in our view, this is the right action to take at this time." Tallman said. "This reinforcement is also anticipated to restore hydro generation for the year, and should provide the community with more certainty about the structure and Mirror Pond during the summer season and going forward."
The company used the sheet pile technique previously to address similar leaks in other wooden panels, known as bays, most recently in 2008 and 2009, said utility spokesman Bob Gravely.
The reinforcement work involves driving long pieces of interlocking steel sheets into the river bed to create steel facing on the upstream side of the leaking panel.
"This action will also facilitate further discussions with community leaders to determine if an agreement can be reached that enables PacifiCorp to clearly demonstrate that placing the dam under local control is better for all our customers than dam removal or other alternatives," Tallman said.
Gravely said the reinforcement work is "very similar" to the two projects done a few years ago.
"For one, we went ahead and reinforced a few adjoining wooden bays because it was clear they were deteriorating," he said. "For the other, we reinforced one panel -- just like we will do with this one."
In the utility's announcement, Scott Bolton, PacifiCorp's vice president for community and government relations, said, "The company is very committed to trying to find the best possible outcome regarding this facility that balances the community's priorities for Mirror Pond and our regulatory obligations."
"That includes taking steps like this reinforcement as part of our community commitment, and our support of efforts by community leaders to preserve Mirror Pond's future," Bolton added.

Hermann high school volleyball coaches work together for 34 years
HERMANN, Mo. - The stakes are getting higher in girls' district volleyball this weekend.
Hermann High School hopes to take home yet another championship title. Coaches Linda Lampkin and Allen Spekhals have been coaching the Hermann High School girls' volleyball team together for 34 years.
"Being a player under Coach Lampkin is awesome; I myself have seen what a better player I've become and how I've grown as a person, even outside of volleyball," said Jaime Gleeson, Hermann volleyball team captain.
This group of girls is looking to make their footprints in a long line of success.
"I'd say we have a pretty strong legacy. I said we have been to the Final Four 21 times, we've won 11 state championships in those 21 trips, and that's happened in the last 34 years, so it's been pretty strong," Lampkin said.
Even dating back to when Coach Lampkin played at Hermann herself.
"My high school, coach has some pretty strong teams; they went several years without losing conference games or anything like that, so it goesway, way back to the 60s actually," she said.
The way to finding victory at the end of the season has remained the same.
"I'm probably repeating something you might get from Coach Lampkin; all we want to see on the court is what we see in practice," Speckhals said.
"You don't have to be better than you are at practice; you just need to do the things you need to do every day," said Lampkin.
That is what the Bearcats hope to do to bring home their 12th state title.
Hermann needs to beat Fair Grove tomorrow to return to the state semifinals.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'philosophy' tag.
Bryan Caplan asks why economists are agnostic about whether receiving "the gift of life", meaning being born, makes someone better off, when they are so certain that receiving a gift of $100 dollars clearly does. I think the reason we can be confident about one and agnostic about the other is that we have a good conceptions of the two separate states being compared in the $100 scenario, and don't in the other. In the gift of money scenario one state is with $100 extra dollars, the other is a state without. It is easy both conceptually and, if we wanted, empirically, to consider well-being in these two states and determine in which the individual is better off. We have good information about what it means to be in both states.
In the other scenario, one state is controversial and we don't have good information about what it means to be in it. What is the expected level of utility of being in the state of never being born? Immeasurable or inconceivable might be just as good of an answer. It strikes me as a philosophical question that, at the very least, economists aren't trained to think about.
Perhaps Bryan understands that the philosophical answer here is actually clear-cut, and the problem is a lack of sophistication among economists (and myself). I'm not convinced this is the case, but I am willing to consider it. My main objection is that it holds radical moral implications that seem to violate common sense morality. For instance, if you take seriously the notion that the utility of not being born is less than the utility of being born, it seems to me that the moral imperative is for everyone who is capable to be reproducing at the maximum rate possible, because the marginal utility is likely massive. Surely the positive marginal utility of a life of poverty with 20 siblings relative to the utility of not being born is greater than the negative marginal utility of the 20 siblings and parents being burdened with one more family member. So when do you stop? Are Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar the most moral people on the planet?
If you argue that individuals should act selfishly, which somehow I think Bryan would, then there is a huge market failure whereby the unborn are unable to contract with their potential parents to pay for life. This argues for taxation of everyone (the set of people who are born) in order to subsidize reproduction. Yes, we indirectly do some of this already, but this should trump all other charitable and redistributive concerns.
So maybe Bryan is right and the utility of not being born is lower than the utility of being born, but if he is I think we are living in an incredibly immoral world with the largest market failure that has ever existed.

"Italy stars beaten by Arsenal Reserves"
On the evening of November 26, 1958, 51,000 packed into Highbury to see the Gunners take on the mighty Juventus on their first ever appearance in London. The match was eagerly awaited, not just because the Old Lady were the reigning champions of Italy, but because of the return to British soil of Gentle Giant, John Charles.
It may have been the first time that Juve's players - Charles apart - had set foot at Highbury, but several of the Turin club's senior officials had been there before, and recently. On April 6, 1957, they had been the guests of the Arsenal board to watch Leeds United defeated 2-1. The result was of little concern to them. They were there to spy on Charles, then a United player. And a behind-the-scenes meeting at Highbury after the game, where Juve made their interest known to the Welshman, set in motion the transfer described at the time as 'football's most fantastic fairytale'.
18 months later at Highbury, with Gianni Agnelli, the famous Fiat magnate and Juve owner looking on from the directors' box, Charles wasted little time in showing just why he had been worth the effort, heading the Italians in front after just five minutes.
This though was not to be his night. It belonged instead to a couple of teenage unknowns in red and white. All in all this was to be a remarkable performance by Arsenal. Not just because several key absences - Vic Groves, Gerry Ward and David Herd among them - meant they fielded a team full of youngsters and reserves. Incredibly, two of their players were playing their second match in a day! In the afternoon goalkeeper Jack Kelsey and winger Danny Clapton had lined up on opposite sides, as Wales held England 2-2 in a fiercely fought home international at Villa Park. Kelsey had by all accounts performed heroics for Wales.
On the final whistle, at 4.45pm, they did a quick change before making a 100 mile train journey south for the late kick-off against Juventus. They made it with seconds to spare, as the car which picked them up from Euston got a flat tyre. The Arsenal pair would have been joined by fellow Gunner, Dave Bowen, had the Welsh captain not dislocated a shoulder in a blood and guts performance against the English.
And Arsenal managed a performance of no less passion that evening. Having given Juve an early lead, Charles found himself completely shackled for the rest of the game, with Kelsey, once more, in inspired form. Instead it was the home team who discovered their cutting edge. The equaliser was scored on the half hour mark by a 19 year-old army recruit called John Barnwell, now chairman of the Football Managers' Association, then a teenage unknown.
When substitute Ray Goulden - son of England legend Len - emerged for the second-half, there were mutterings of confusion. He was making his first ever senior appearance, and few fans knew who he was. Within eight minutes of the restart they did, as he fired Arsenal in front. The coup de grace was delivered 14 minutes from time, as Clapton, given a chance to catch his breath on the bench, came on to chip a perfect ball to Jimmy Bloomfield who hammered home to make the final score Arsenal 3 Juventus 1.
"Italy stars beaten by Arsenal reserves" proclaimed the next day's headlines. It was no exaggeration.
'It Happened At Highbury' is written by Dan Brennan, the author of The Official Arsenal Miscellany. The latest edition of the miscellany is now available in all good book shops.

Yes, Phantom is so overused and old (it even has a sequel now, ffs). But Davis/White were in a different ballpark, a shinier and better one. Given B/A's score, Davis/White should've broken 110.

congrats to the top 3. s/b put on one heck of a case for a trip to vancouver. but i feel so much for n/b...its almost like most of the time they are always the bridesmaids but never the bride...looks like alternates again...
Who is their coach? S/B i mean.
1. Yes, I think we can say that D/W are one of the favourites for the Gold Medal - and in my mind, there are only two.
2. I can definitely understand why S/B don't appeal to everyone. Right now, their free programs (generally the make-or-break with fans) tend to be based on less famous, repetitive music. This year particularly I get it - Evan is grinning throughout the entire thing and he really shouldn't be. But they create such lovely pictures with their bodies - the transition lift is a thing of beauty. To me, it's like their movements create the tempo of the program, it's build and flow, and I'm fine with that.
3. Emily's giddy laughter after their score was read was awesome.
4. NavBom will likely go to worlds - I think B/A will retire after Vancouver. But the young ones are coming (not just Chock and Zuerlein, but next season the Shibutanis will likely be seniors - nationally, if not internationally).
Who is this interviewer?? She totally just cut Emily off when she was talking!

we should find out almost immediately, also 4CC selections as that team has to leave ASAP. Probably no later than after ladies--maybe they will announce at same time.

Gas prices jump 20 cents across Tri-Cities, Virginia
Expected to continue to climb through April
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Prices at the pump have jumped more than 20 cents in both Tennessee and Virginia over the last week.
According to AAA Fuel Gauge Report, prices in the Tri-Cities last week were about $3.37 a gallon. Now it's closer to $3.57. In Virginia, prices jumped from $3.39 to $3.62.
"I think this is ridiculous. It went up 10 cents overnight! What's going on?" asked driver Susan Abbott.
Donna Ottinger with AAA in Johnson City said the fluctuation is a combination of factors. She said tensions in Iran may be effecting prices as well as economic growth in China and Europe, which has increased demand for fuel. "Crude oil has been about $95 a barrel, which has been standard, but is just now affecting us at the pump as consumers. It's just taken awhile to get there," she said.
She explained it also has to do with the season as some American refineries are going offline and others are shutting down. "They're doing their summer blend of fuel, so there's a lower output which drives up the cost," Ottinger said.
The increase is bad news for local organizations, like the First Tennessee Human Resource Agency, that depend on driving to help feed and transport people in the community. "We're just like everyone else, it affects our bottom line and we feel the pinch," said Jason Cody, the executive director of FTHRA.
Their programs include delivering 1,400 hot meals to the elderly and disabled with the Meals on Wheels program.
The NET Trans transportation service runs about 1,000 trips per day to popular places in the community including the grocery store. "We try to look at our routes and structure them to make those distances the best in a local pattern," said Cody.
The prices could continue to climb through April, just as drivers prepare for spring break trips. A recent AAA survey reports drivers said they would rethink their travel plans if gas prices reach $3.75 a gallon.

Lol. I hope someone bought one. Reminds me of when the day after Super Bowl XLII a bandwagon Patriots fan showed up to school wearing a Jeremy Shockey jersey with Super Bowl patch and everyone 1) made fun of him and 2) told him Shockey didn't even play in the Super Bowl.
I think they are all gone lol,

Hyperbaric chamber therapy on rise in eastern Idaho
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-known treatment for decompression sickness for divers, but in eastern Idaho, treatment for other conditions is growing rapidly.
Mountain View Hospital and Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center house hyperbaric chambers.
Patients enjoy a movie while undergoing a treatment using pressurized oxygen.
At Mountain View Hospital, three monoplace hyperbaric chambers are used for treatment for a number of conditions. The most common include diabetic ulcers, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, wounds that don't heal, crush injuries and gangrene.
"You can bypass all of those problems by driving oxygen down the tissues that need to heal," said Dr. Gregory West.
Hyperbaric Safety Officer Jerry VanLeuven said the oxygen pressure is about 33 feet below sea level.
"There's constantly air flowing through. You get a little breeze. It's comfortable," said West.
Since hyperbaric oxygen therapy was developed for divers, "We talk about patients having a dive instead of a treatment," said West.
A dive typically lasts two hours. Patients receive the treatment five times a week.
VanLeuven said patients said the air seems a bit thick.
"It feels a little more than what you sense when you're landing in a passenger airplane," said West.
A technician watches over patients to maintain oxygen levels.
"Generally you see healing in 20 treatments," said West.
"If we heal that wound with standard wound care procedures, in three to five months they'll be back to be retreated. If we treat with hyperbarics it will be three to five years," said VanLeuven.
Researchers are looking into using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat allergies, autism, cancer and stroke.
However, according to the Mayo Clinic, there's insufficient scientific evidence to support claims that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can effectively treat those conditions.

Even though he runs up the score every time? You realize he went to get one more TD against denver in garbage time? Run up the score on indy last year. Stayed in against the falcons to get a record.

Bees would still get in Buzz.
Bees would still get in Buzz.
Mark Berninghausen
The most useful modification that I have made to my smoker, and make it easy to light , was to drill a small hole in the side of the main body just above the fire grate. Made a small flap of thick aluminum foil attached with a self tapping screw as the hole seal.
Just stuff your smoker fuel into the body, use a small gas burner to light the material through the hole, close the flap and your smoker is good to go in 30 seconds or less.
I gotta try that little lighter hole trick. That makes so much sense. Someone's (read that Dadant or Kelly or Brushy) gonna build that into their smokers soon and owe you some royalties, or at least some beer.
How's this for a smoker modification? lol
Don't laugh, it worked perfectly until my manufactured smoker was purchased.
should there bee a connector between the bellows and the canister? Mine doesnt have one and its a royal pain to keep lit. If I prop the lid open just a tad she goes like a forest fire....I typically use burlap....using either the man lake starters or more recently some leaves.
Your mail-box at beesource is full- you need to delete some messages. Sergey

I will be making the modification for a lighting hole. It is a great idea!

I have enough to do learning about bees, researching treatments, inspecting hives and mentoring beekeepers without trying to re-invent smokers, hives and things that have worked for over a hundred years. Complexity creates higher failure rates. Weight is a concern as you add this and that. Except for the new electronic computer controlled smokers that last as long as a good thunderstorm in the rain, I really doubt there is anything that has not been tried. There was a wise king that once said there is nothing new under the sun. The fool died with about a thousand wives and concubines and one of the largest apiaries rivaling many today at Tel Rehov.
I have a hook on mine. Screw it to the wood on the back of the bellows. I can hang it on my belt, pocket or the side of the hive.A 1/2 inch piece of .125 aluminum flat bar works well.
Opposed to drilling a hole to light your smoker \I do this
I have a propane lighter I hold the flame on the front side of the smoker wall and heat it till red
this works like a car cigarette lighter when the metal is red hot it will ignite anything that
is, in touch with it.
It takes a min.and smoker is going strong
I don't have to pull half burnt fuel out from last session I just re-torch it
I also added a soup can that was the same (OD) diameter as my smoker
I used a 1 inch metal strap and riveted it to the main body to extend the fuel capacity
I re-attached the lid ,this added another 4 inch's or so, of fuel to it

Zep plays to largest audience ever for single-act rock show
The attendance at Led Zeppelin's Silverdome concert tonight triumphantly shattered the band's own previous attendance record, a number unmatched by any other group in the last four years.
The audience of 77,229 at the Silverdome is the largest audience for a single-act concert. The previous record was 56,800 set in May 1973 at a Zeppelin show in Tampa Bay. On that historic day, the group surpassed the Beatles' 1965 attendance record of 55,000. Making a sum of £467,000 tonight, Led Zeppelin has finished the first leg of its 11th tour of North America. Upon returning, the band will tour the southern United States, beginning May 18 in Birmingham, Ala. [AP]

My wife and I have just finished roughly translating the Frnech instruction sheet I got with my Jenter queen rearing kit. Does anybody have a simple schedule for the system?
Day 1 - do this
Day3 - do that
day 9- do whatever
day 16 - have a bunch of virgin queens
you get the idea.
Saturday evening at 6pm I placed the queen in the box with 100 cups but am not sure of timing for the following steps. I have a copy of Contemporary Queen rearing but when I can stay awake while reading it I close it more confused than when I started reading it. I have also gone to the Ohio site mentioned here in prior posting but it doesn't really outline a time schedule.
Any help would be great.

For the last six months I've been weighing the pros and cons of making a change to the guidelines for choosing the level of submission for Writing Challenge entries. With the introduction of the new levels of membership for FaithWriters at the start of this year, the need for a change to the level of entry guidelines for the Challenge has become even more obvious and important.
This change is to ensure members are not being propelled too fast through the ranks due to lower numbers of entries in their level of submission (as has been happening).
As always, members can still choose to move up into higher levels at any time (except from Level 3 to Level 4). They can make this decision, at any time, based on their experience and growing ability. However, from this week, only 1st place winners in Levels 1 and 2 (or Editor's Choice winners in those levels), must move up to the next Level.
For those members who believe they moved too quickly into Level 3 and are becoming discouraged because they feel out of their depth, please don't hesitate to move back to Level 2 until you either place 1st in that level, achieve an Editor's Choice award, or are confident that your skills have progressed to the Advanced Level (whichever comes first).
For the full guidelines for level selection, please visit this page:
I really hope this will take the pressure off some members who have hurtled up the ranks before they feel ready.
Love, Deb
