Welcome to our home in Manning, a suburb about 8kms south of Perth city centre. We offer a private room with a comfortable queen size bed and private bathroom and toilet. You have use of the pool and the garden. Continental breakfast is provided. We can provide information about Perth and places to visit and things to do.
Bus to the city is a 2 minute walk. Canning Bridge train station is a 20 minute walk or take the bus to the station. At Canning Bridge you can connect to buses to Fremantle and elsewhere and trains to Mandurah or the city (and beyond). If you have a car, we are close to the freeway to the city or down south and Canning Highway to take you to Fremantle. We are only a few minutes from Curtin University.
There is a small supermarket just a 5 minute walk down the street plus a café, fruit shop, butcher, newsagent, liquor store and pharmacy. A larger shopping centre with supermarkets, post-office, bakery and many dine-in and take-away restaurants and fast food stores is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes on the bus. There is a great café/coffee shop serving light meals and pizzas a couple of blocks away.
If you have a car there is parking in our driveway behind a security gate. Free Wi-Fi.
We are not a five-star hotel but we are sure you will find our home a welcoming and relaxing place to stay while you enjoy the many sights and activities of Perth and its surrounds. Come home to our quiet sanctuary after a busy day of playing tourist or conducting business.
Check-in (from 2.00pm) and check-out (by 11.00am) times are negotiable depending on availability of the room. We are also open to stays of longer than 7 nights. Just ask.
Domovní řádCHECK-OUT
Check-out is 11.00am. This is negotiable depending on availability of the room. If you want to extend your stay by a day or more, please ask. This might be possible depending on bookings.
A continental breakfast (cereal, juice, toast, tea or coffee) is available between 7am and 10am. If you require breakfast earlier, just ask. Please let us know in the evening an approximate time you would like breakfast. If we are not here, breakfast will be set up for you to help yourself. Tea and coffee is available all day.
Please use the exhaust fan when showering (bottom switch inside the door). The light for the mirror and the power points are inside the mirrored cabinet.
The shower has an instant water heater. To start the flow of hot water, pull out the mixer tap fully and then adjust. Please use the scraper to clean the glass after showering. Use the bathmat as the tiles can be slippery when wet.
If you forgot your basic shower amenities, please ask.
Use of the kitchen is generally restricted to preparing sandwiches and so forth for lunch and not for cooking meals (other arrangements may be possible). Please ask before using the kitchen and please leave the kitchen clean and tidy. Do not help yourself to food in the pantry or fridge. No preparation of meals in your room.
There is an ironing board and iron in the laundry. Please ask if you need to use it. Please do not wash clothes in the bathroom. If you want to use the laundry, please ask. A small charge of $2 per wash applies. We use the outside clothes line for drying and only use the clothes dryer when necessary.
Please use our on-site parking and refrain from parking on the street or verges.
The house is alarmed when no one is here. If we are not going to be here, we will provide a key and a code and instructions on setting and disarming the alarm. The bedroom window is locked and we will give you a key. Please ensure all doors and windows are locked before you go out. The front security door must be locked at all times. Just flip the locking device.
There is a sensor security light on the front porch. Please do not turn it off.
We aim to be an environmentally friendly household. Perth has limited water supplies. Therefore we ask that you be mindful of water use when using the hand basin, in the kitchen and when showering (short showers please). Please don't leave taps running unnecessarily (e.g. when cleaning teeth and shaving).
As part of our environmentally friendly approach, we change towels and sheets every week (for stays of seven nights or longer). If you do want a fresh towel at some stage during your stay, please let us know. We service the room when we change the sheets, not daily.
We only use the heating and air-conditioning when absolutely necessary. During hot days, close the window and the curtains and that will help keep the room cool. The nights are generally cooler and an open window at night will cool the room. When the air-conditioning is on, the window needs to be slightly open to allow the cool air to flow.
Please turn off lights and appliances when not using them.
Our garden is watered using our own bore system that is not connected to the main supply.
Please feel free to relax in the back garden and use the sun lounges.
The pool is a salt water pool. We keep the pool cover on when the pool is not in use to minimise evaporation and use of chemicals. It also maintains a pleasant water temperature. If you want to swim and the cover is on, please ask and we will remove it. If we are not going to be here, we will show you how to remove and store the cover and put it back on at the end of the day.
No diving or excessive splashing that wastes water.
Do not use our bath towels for the pool. We can provide pool towels if needed.
Please use only plastic glasses around the pool; no glass or bottles.
There are power points at floor level behind the curtains plus a power board at the bedhead. If you forgot your adapter, please ask. We might have one to lend you.
Free Wi-Fi.
This is a non-smoking home. No smoking anywhere! If you do smoke, please go outside the gate.
We prefer that you not have visitors in our house. Definitely no visitors when we are not here. As this is a residential neighbourhood, please keep noise to a minimum, especially if returning to the house late in the evening.
We have a folder with tourist and other information, maps and bus timetables.
If you have any questions, please ask!

Top accommodation; The interior, bed and washroom are very good (everything clean and tidy). The location is good as well, easy to find and get to and away from.
We can highly recommend Allan & Pär-Johan as hosts, and same for the room!
We would come back everytime again.
We had a great time. Allan and Pär-Johan are really nice and they helped us a lot. They have a wonderful house in a great region. We can recommend them.
Came back for a second day, since the first stay had been such a nice experience. Wish these extraordinary friendly host all the best and would book in any time again when I'm around.
Very nice and attentive host. Neighborhood is beautiful for a stroll. I enjoyed the stay and thank you very much for the hospitality.
Spontanius and warm Hosts, that made us feel at home strait away.
Upon ore next down under vacation, we will come back to your wonderful paradise.
Thanks for a lovely time.
Eric & Brigitte
After a long flight we arrived to this little heaven on earth. Its beautiful, quiet and very comfortable. Allan and Pär-Johan are great hosts, friendly and helpful and have become very good friends to us. We keep coming back whenever we come to Perth.
We had the best imaginable start into our new lives in Australia at the Goody Bed and Breakfast when staying there the first three weeks after our arrival. Allan and Par-Johan were amiable and very obliging hosts. We had great conversations and strongly recommend their home to anyone who wants to become acquainted with Perth and its surroundings in a cosy and familiar atmosphere. We hope and are very sure that we'll soon be catching up again.
The decision of booking this property instead of another one was not based on the price but more conveniently for us on the location, the description made about the house and most of all because of the "house rules" which made us supposing the owners took great care of their guests.
Once there we realized that what promised through the ad was what we could actually get and this was very much appreciated; the owners were nice, quiet, and friendly people we got along very well with, so we do recommend this B&B and wish Allan and Par-Johan to keep on having a successfull business
It's funny this message is for the Belgian guys not?
Yes it was not a backpak but over the day it became and not our fault. We have always been respectful unlike people in couchsurfing who stay for 3 weeks ... everyone borrowed salt or futile small things and we cleaned always all !
Je recommande sans aucuns soucis, les yeux fermés!!
Une très belle première expérience du "vivre chez l'habitant" et je recommencerai!!
Au delà d'un cadre sympathique, d'une maison propre et spacieuse, Par Johan a été au top durant ce jour: conseils, dispos, pédagogue (notamment dans l'aide à l'oral en anglais), et très à l'écoute.
Les conversations en soirées ont été très intéressantes.J'avais l'impression que Par Johan était bien plus d'une connaissance de part la simplicité de la relation, des échanges...
Une belle personne et encore merci de l'accueil

psfred... Do you use foundation or do you let the bees build their own.
When using foundation, the bees tend to attach all the way down the sides and across the bottom bars, and as you said, the comb is strong enough to hold everything together. Without foundation, I find that they tie the comb sometimes in the center, sometimes 1/2 way down the sides, but rarely all the way down the sides and across bottom, as they do with foundation. This also helps to strengthen what ever joint is used.
I use the standard 2 dado cut, divided bottom bar, separation hasn't been a problem. If a problem is observed it may also be a result of bee space not being correct.

Didn't Ramses hit one in the preseason?
Oh, how I thought that was a good sign of things to come.
he actually completes way more than not. altho last season it wasnt very successful, prob due to teams planning for it bc the prior success we've had with it.
eli to the back pylon on the corner route or variation is how we tend to score thru the air inside the 20, which would explain our struggles last season bc we didnt seem to mix it up enough.

Ian Fleming
From Wikiquote
Ian Lancaster Fleming (28 May 1908 – 12 August 1964) was a British author and journalist; during the Second World War he served in the Naval Intelligence Division and, as part of his appointment, he was commissioned into the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, rising to the rank of commander. Fleming is probably best known for creating the character of James Bond and chronicling his adventures in twelve novels and two short story collections. He also wrote the children's story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang and two non-fiction books.
Casino Royale (1953)[edit]
- The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul erosion produced by high gambling — a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension — becomes unbearable and the senses awake and revolt from it.
- Opening line.
- Against the background of this luminous and sparkling stage Bond stood in the sunshine and felt his mission to be incongruous and remote and his dark profession an affront to his fellow actors.
- Ch. 5.
- Bond insisted ordering Leiter's Haig-and-Haig "on the rocks" and then he looked carefully at the barman. "A Dry Martini", he said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet." "Oui, monsieur." "Just a moment. Three measures of Gordons, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?" "Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea.
- Ch. 7.
- 'I take a ridiculous pleasure in what I eat and drink. It come partly from being a bachelor, but mostly from a habit of taking a lot of trouble over details. It's very pernickety and oldmaidish really, but then when I'm working I generally have to eat my meals alone and it makes them more interesting when one takes trouble.'
- Ch. 8.
- "Surround yourself with human beings, my dear James. They are easier to fight for than principles." He laughed. "But don't let me down and become human yourself. We would lose a wonderful machine."
- Ch. 21.
- It was the same with the whole Russian machine. Fear was the impulse. For them it was always safer to advance than retreat. Advance against the enemy and the bullet might miss you. Retreat, evade, betray and the bullet would never miss.
- Ch. 27.
- "The bitch is dead now."
- Closing line.
Live and Let Die (1954)[edit]
- He sat down next door in the seat she had left and watched the grim suburbs of Philadelphia showing their sores, like beggars, to the rich train.
- Ch. 10.
- He disagreed with something that ate him.
- Ch. 14.
From Russia with Love (1957)[edit]
- It was a dark, clean-cut face, with a three-inch scar showing whitely down the sunburned skin of the right cheek. The eyes were wide and level under straight, rather long black brows. The hair was black, parted on the left, and carelessly brushed so that a thick black comma fell down over the right eyebrow. The longish straight nose ran down to a short upper lip below which was a wide and finely drawn but cruel mouth. The line of jaw was straight and firm. A section of dark suit, white shirt and black knitted tie completed the picture.
Dr. No (1958)[edit]
- "And I would like a medium Vodka dry Martini — with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred, please. I would prefer Russian or Polish vodka."
- James Bond.
- You are right, Mr. Bond. That is just what I am, a maniac. All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania that drives them towards their goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders — all maniacs.
- Dr. Julius No.
Goldfinger (1959)[edit]
- Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it's enemy action. (Auric Goldfinger)
- The difference between a good golf shot and a bad one is the same difference between a beautiful and a plain woman - a matter of millimetres.
You Only Live Twice (1964)[edit]
- I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang (1964)[edit]
- Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car
- But some motorcars — mine, for instance, and perhaps yours — are different. If you get to like them and understand them, if you are kind to them and don't scratch their paint and bang their doors, if you fill them up and pump them up when they need it, of you keep them clean and polish and out the rain and snow as much as possible, you will find, you MAY find, that they become almost like persons — MORE than just ordinary persons — MAGICAL PERSONS!!!

There's a scene in This is 40, which will be released in theatres on Friday, in which Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann), the married couple at the center of the story, talk about ways they'd kill each other.
As someone who has been married twenty-five years, the conversation resonated. It's not that you really want to kill your spouse but somedays you definitely want to kill them. And judging by the comments from some of the other parenting bloggers who attended a preview screening last weekend, those thoughts may be a normal part of a long-term marriage.
Debbie's method for killing Pete is painless and somehow sweet. Pete's idea is somewhat less so as it involves a wood chipper. The scene shouldn't be that funny but it definitely is and that's due to the skill of Rudd and Mann and the wry tone of the scene..
Judd Apatow's movies have been hit and miss with me. I loved The 40-year-old Virgin but disliked Knocked Up intensely. But the heart of this movie, Pete and Debbie's relationship, was real, almost raw in spots, that it's not so much a comedy, even if parts are intensely funny, but more of a slice of these people's lives.
In interviews last week, Mann, Rudd and Apatow, who wrote and directed the movie, said it doesn't necessarily reflect his and Mann's marriage but what they all wanted a true-to-life but funny portrait of a regular marriage.
"I'm happy that people can leave there feeling like they're not the only ones going through some of those things and they don't have to feel terrible about themselves after," Mann said. "When you go and watch movies where couples are perfect couples, which I hate, and then I leave the movie thinking that something's terribly wrong with me, you can leave this movie feeling like you're okay and something's terribly wrong with Pete and Debbie."
"I mean the one thing that I think that we both talked about and have always wanted to convey with this relationship in both this movie and in Knocked Up was a married couple that was dealing with things that married couples that we know and that we are deal with in a way that you don't see in movies all that much but maybe are realistic and heightened and funny," Rudd said. "There is no winner, and there's no real loser, but you understand both points of view equally. You like and then dislike aspects of the personality within each of us."
Some of the specifics, however, are taken from real life. Like Pete's fondness for cupcakes. Asked about that, Apatow plead guilty.
"I like Sprinkles, but I also enjoy Crumbs. I'm not going to say I don't enjoy Crumbs. I don't want the Crumbs people to feel bad. Well, the funny thing is when we shoot those scenes where he's tempted to eat cupcakes even though he has high cholesterol, the set is just littered with cupcakes. And so, we're shooting the scene where Leslie's mad at Paul and screaming at him to 'Stop eating cupcakes,' and I'm literally hiding behind the monitors eating cupcakes, and we're having the exact same conversation."
Caught in the middle of Apatow the director and Mann the co-star is Rudd, who is wonderful in the movie. Asked if it was ever odd to film some of the scenes, particularly one in which Pete asks Debbie to check for problems in his private area (one of the funniest sequences in the movie), Rudd said no.
"He [Apatow] never even attempted to put the brakes on that scene," Rudd said, pointing out by that point that they'd already filmed a shower scene between him and Mann.
Rudd did say, in retrospect, he's a little bit concerned. Continue Reading "This is 40: A Brutally Honest (But Funny) View of Marriage" »

In a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek analysis, Sebastian Wernicke turns the tools of statistical analysis on TEDTalks, to come up with a metric for creating "the optimum TEDTalk" based on user ratings. How do you rate it? "Jaw-dropping"? "Unconvincing"? Or just plain "Funny"?

Vanguard University ranks in top 10 for US News & World Report's 2014 Best Colleges
US News & World Report today announced its 2014 Best College rankings. For several consecutive years in a row, Vanguard University has ranked in the top 10; in the 2014 Best Regional Colleges – West category, Vanguard ranks #10.
According to the US News & World Report FAQ page, a college education is one of the most important – and one of the most costly – investments that prospective students will ever make. For this reason, the editors of U.S. News believe that students and their families should have as much information as possible about the comparative merits of the educational programs at America's colleges and universities.
The data gathered on colleges – and the rankings of the schools that arise from these data – serve as an objective guide by which students and their parents can compare the academic quality of schools.
There are 1,596 regionally accredited U.S. institutions that are part of the U.S. News data collection universe. Regional colleges (such as Vanguard University) focus on undergraduate education but grant fewer than half their degrees in liberal arts disciplines. These rankings are split into 4 regions: North, South, Midwest and West.
Each year, the methodology is refined for the purpose of improving the process. Last week, Us News & World Report announced some methodology changes impacting this year's rankings. The refined methodology reduced the weight of input factors (which look at characteristics of the students, faculty and other resources going into the educational process)and increased the weight of output measures (which look at the results of the educational process, such as graduation and freshman retention rates).

It's no real secret that I'm a Mac guy, although I try not to be biased. I use just about everything and move back and forth between Macs and PCs with little fuss. I only switched over to the iPhone a few years ago and was the last person in my house to cave in on an iPad. But my personal preference is toward Macs, so when I invest in equipment, I tend to stick with Apple. So when I was sent a Toshiba Satellite U925t convertible Ultrabook to play with a few weeks ago, I made the most of the experience to compare what it would be like to move from my Apple equivalent — a MacBook Air plus an iPad — to the Windows 8 side.
If you're looking for a detailed review of Windows 8, Curtis already posted everything you need to know. I'm also not getting into the "who has more apps" or "who has better games" arguments. I'm more interested in the usability and comparative advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches when it comes to daily use of the respective devices.

Specifying the Racks for Hosts
Cloudera Manager includes internal rack awareness scripts, but you must specify the racks where the hosts in your cluster are located. If your cluster contains more than 10 hosts, Cloudera recommends that you specify the rack for each host. HDFS and MapReduce will automatically use the racks you specify.
Cloudera Manager supports nested rack specifications. For example, you could specify the rack /rack1, but you could also specify /group5/rack3 to indicate the third rack in the fifth group.
Currently, due to a Hadoop limitation, all hosts in a cluster should have the same number of path components in their rack specifications.
To specify the racks for hosts:
- Click the Hosts tab.

Super Girl
This kid is on a mission! When she was 7, Brooklyn Wright wrote The Adventures of the Earth Saver Girl. In the book, a girl learns she has the power to rid the Earth of litter. Brooklyn created a costume and skit to go along with her book. Now 10, she has visited more than 100 schools to teach students about pollution. Last year, she received for her work a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. "It makes me feel great," she told TFK. "Like I'm doing my part to help."

A Voice for Elephants
More ivory is purchased in China than in any other country. After learning that elephants were being killed for their tusks, China's Celia Ho, 14, decided to take action. By making posters and writing letters to newspapers, she is spreading the word about the problem. "I am working on an ivory-ban campaign," she told TFK in an e-mail. "The most important part is educating young people."
Help for the Nautilus
It's been a busy year for 12-year-olds Josiah Utsch (left) and Ridgely Kelly. In 2012, TFK wrote about their efforts to save a sea creature called the chambered nautilus, which is hunted for its shell. Since then, the boys from Maine have raised $9,000 through their website savethenautilus.org. They gave the money to scientist Peter Ward. Then they joined Ward on a research trip to American Samoa. "We got significant data," says Ridgely. The information will be used to help determine if the nautilus is endangered.
Green for Frogs
Avalon Theisen, 12, understands that frogs are important to the environment. They help keep the insect population down and alert us to pollutants. Plus, she says, "they are beautiful to both hear and see." When she was 8, her love of frogs inspired her to start Conserve It Forward. She shares information about frogs and how to protect them with people at schools, parks and zoos near Tampa, Florida. Her efforts earned her the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. She hopes to motivate other kids to spread conservation messages. "Find a project you love, act on it, share it with others," Avalon told TFK. "That's how you can conserve it forward."
Abby's Stand
Abby Goldberg 13, is working to save the environment—one bag at a time. She decided to take action after finding dozens of littered plastic bags in her town of Grayslake, Illinois. Abby learned that state lawmakers were considering a bill that would keep towns from banning plastic bags. She collected more than 150,000 signatures for a petition against the bill. When the governor of Illinois vetoed the bill, he called Abby to tell her the news. "It feels awesome, knowing that I've had a big impact on my community," she told TFK. Abby says her mission now is to educate others about the harmful effects of plastic bags.

The National Gallery of Canada is pleased to present the most ambitious and comprehensive exhibition to date of the work of Rober Racine, one of the best artistic talents working in Canada today. This internationally renowned artist's work doesn't fit into any conventional artistic category. In fact, what is crucial to Racine is his ability to express himself through the use of many media. The Rober Racine exhibition will be presented both inside and outside the National Gallery of Canada from 23 November 2001 to 24 February 2002.The Rober Racine exhibition assembles the major pieces in the artist's body of work and traces his progression from the written word to the vitality and unique qualities of his most recent works. The exhibition includes Racine's drawings; video; audio and sculpture installations; photography; books; and manuscripts. His art will be shown in two spaces: in the contemporary galleries, and in the exterior Couryard, where he has created an installation especially for the National Gallery of Canada. The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the artist, Rober Racine, and Galerie René Blouin, Montreal.

Such a talented kid. If he doesn't get suspended, and doesn't slip up again, he will have a 1200+ yard season.
What a scumbag though...smh

It's been clarified in the media since it first broke, and as it turns out, he smacked her with his hat, and grabbed her shirt. Not making light of it, but that's far from "beating her up".... the media saw an opportunity and pounced. She has since decided not to pursue charges. Goodel may not either.
The police report stated that she had no visible injuries when officers arrived at her house in DeSoto, TX. The only injuries that she had were consistent with being restrained (bruises around her wrists).
Which fit her "I grabbed his shirt and he forcefully knocked my hands away".
Does anyone ever wonder WHY Dez Bryant might have hit his mother?
He hardly "beat up his mother". If anything, it was the other way around. I've known his mom (and his real father) for years and the only polite term for her is "crazy". The woman's been arrested 17 or 18 times for various things. Granted, that doesn't give anyone the right to hit her, but the way I heard it she attempted to assault him. When she attacked him, he grabbed her wrists, pulled them off his shirt, and pushed her away. In the process of being shoved away, one of her own hands hit her in the face. She called the cops. Initially, the responding officers couldn't find a mark on her. When the detectives came by, she had marks on her wrists. When they discovered she initiated the confrontation, she decided to drop all charges. Dez is no angel, but considering where he came from, he could be much worse.
Lufkin is hardly a ghetto, nor is it "crack central". I've been there for over 40 years, but maybe you know something I don't?
She had to protect her " Meal Ticket ".

text: I think it is appalling. I hate when radio personalities do this. They do it every week in my city when they try to catch someone cheating. It's awful. I knew a coworker who had the worst of the worst with her partner. Physically abusive, emotionally abusive. The only thing she had was her work. Every day she wanted to kill herself and was just waiting for a signal. I would not be surprised if this worker was similar. You know the hospital went after her, and probably tried to fire her. When work is gone, nothing else is left. It's tragic. Not a fan of these pranks. They can really cause harm, as this thread shows. Don't play with someone's emotions, you don't know where they are in their life. This Aussie duo has to know that they caused the death of this woman. Hopefully they aren't still laughing. The tape of them laughing is sickening. I mean, really? How sad.

Shhh! Hear that?
The sound of silence. Sweet!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Had the mic on that camera turned up to " 11 " trying to pick up that "klink" LOL
I love the PMC mod's , it stinks that they stopped selling them. I think the Aguli 38 & 40 gain sub's are the next closet thing to the Moderators?
