Reviews of this property
Very spacious and fully furnished apartment within walking distance of all the attractions, yet in a quiet area. Because of its location, we do not even use public transportation.
The owners were very friendly and arranged taxi transport from and to the airport. We also received detailed explanation about the apartment and useful tips on sights in the city.
The beds were a bit hard, which I found not a problem itself, but what others might find annoying. The boiler is fairly large, but after the third person had showered, there was no hot water anymore.
One drawback of the apartment were the translucent curtains in the bedroom so we were all still early.
Heel ruim en compleet ingericht appartement op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden, maar toch in een rustige omgeving. Door de ligging hebben we zelfs geen gebruik hoeven maken van het openbaar vervoer.
De eigenaren waren zeer vriendelijk en regelden taxivervoer van en naar de luchthaven. Ook kregen we uitgebreide uitleg over het appartement en bruikbare tips over bezienswaardigheden in de stad.
De bedden waren wat hard, wat ik zelf geen probleem vond, maar wat anderen vervelend zouden kunnen vinden. De boiler is redelijk groot, maar nadat de derde persoon had gedoucht, was er geen warm water meer.
Een nadeel van het appartement waren de doorzichtige gordijnen in de slaapkamers waardoor we steeds al vroeg wakker werden.
Excellent apartment with a great location. Everything was clean and working. Building is very quiet, though the apartment was echoing. Very modern kitchen and bathroom. Strong waterpressure and instant hot water. Only few things that might bother people. The beds are quite low, so that might be a problem if you have mobility issues. The kitchen is also quite small if you are a large party. Those didn't affect us. The only minus for us was the fact that there wasn't any reading lamps near the beds.
Over all the apartment was great and everything worked smoothly with the renters. Prague was amazing, we are hoping to return soon. (and wouldn't hesitate to rent this apartment again)
The apartment was very nice, is centrally located and offers everything you need for a city break. I can only recommend the apartment!
Das Apartment war sehr schön, liegt zentral und bietet alles was man für einen Städtetrip braucht. Ich kann die Wohnung nur empfehlen!
Apartment was very clean and located close to the center!
Unfortunately in the shower only cold water, but that was the only flaws.
Wohnung war Sehr sauber und liegt nahe am Zentrum!
Leider gibt es in der Dusche nur kaltes Wasser, aber das war schon der einzige Mängel.
Excellent apartment in the center of the city. Difficulties to find parking places but it worth.
Appartamento in ottima posizione vicino al centro di Praga. Camere confortevoli pulite e luminose. Uno dei due bagni è molto piccolo ma comunque fruibile e carino. L'unico problema mancava un cuscino e un asciugamano.
wir waren Anfang August in der Wohnung. Diese liegt mitten in der Altstadt und nur zwei Querstrassen von der Wolga entfernt. Zu Fuß kann man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Altstadt und auch das Schloss erreichen. Wir haben keine öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel gebraucht. Die Wohnung ist eine Schöne Altbauwohnung mit großen, hohen Räumen und liebevoll eingerichtet.
Alles was man zum Leben braucht ist in der Nähe zu bekommen. Ein Bäcker ist direkt an der nächsten Ecke und ein kleiner Lebensmittelladen zwei Ecken weiter.
Parken an der Wohnung ist zum Ausladen möglich. Wir haben das Auto dann in die Tiefgerage vom Theater abgestellt (2 Nächte) das ist nur 200m entfernt. Preis dafür waren ca. 1000 Kronen.
Wir können diese Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen für alle die Prag erkunden wollen.

A small religious school in DeRidder has been blocked from participating in the state's voucher program for the second straight year.
On Wednesday, the Department of Education said 133 private schools have been approved to receive voucher students in the 2013-14 school year, up from 117 schools this year.
Only one school in the state was deemed ineligible: BeauVer Christian Academy in DeRidder. BeauVer was also rejected last year because of concerns that the campus wasn't equipped to handle the students.
BeauVer, which repeatedly failed to pass inspection by the State Fire Marshal's Office, was one of the four area schools initially approved for the Louisiana Scholarship Program along with Eternity Christian Academy in Westlake.
Both schools were dropped from the program because they did not meet the state's final criteria for the voucher program.
Schools in Southwest Louisiana approved to accept vouchers are St. Theodore's Holy Family Catholic School in Moss Bluff and Our Lady's School in Sulphur.
The student application was released Wednesday, available online and at participating schools, with a March 15 deadline.
Superintendent of Education John White is moving ahead with a new year of the Louisiana Scholarship Program, even as questions remain about how the voucher slots will be funded.
A Baton Rouge judge declared voucher financing through the public school funding formula to be unconstitutional. If the Louisiana Supreme Court upholds the ruling, lawmakers would have to pay for the program another way to continue the vouchers.
The education department estimated vouchers will cost the state about $25 million this school year, with more than 4,900 students enrolled.
The taxpayer-financed tuition at private and parochial schools is available to students from low- to moderate-income families who otherwise would attend public schools graded with a C, D or F by the state. Priority is given to students in D- and F-rated schools.
If more students apply than slots are available, the seats are awarded through a lottery process. Applicants will find out if they've received a voucher by mid-April.
White said the education department will decide how many vouchers will be available to each approved school by March 15. Schools that weren't accredited received site visits before they were approved to participate in the program, he said.

Also, i'd like to add, that Brett Gardner is recieving tons of trade interest now, which could lead to any one of Chase Headley, Jeff Samardzjia, Martin Prado, or Brandon Phillips. Obviously, any of those guys would require a ex player or 2, but Gardy would be center piece.
Personally, i'd talk to SD at the winter meetings and offer Gardner, Phelps, and Mark Montgomery for Chase Headley.. That would be my ideal trade.. Then go sign Omar Infante and have Kelly Johnson and Infante be the 2B, and Headley obviously are starting 3B.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Insurance--can't live with it, can't live without it
In mid March I joined the 162,000 Americans who landed new jobs in the labor market. I seem to be always at the edges of economic trends. When I lost my job 18 months earlier, we were just beginning to understand that the economy was about to tank, misweighted as it was by fictions and other deceits in some parts of the financial sector. And now, things are looking up a bit, and many of us are cautiously optimistic.
Getting back to work has not been a problem. The job is interesting, varied, and useful. And goodness knows I'm well rested. Though job hunting is one of the most stressful jobs there is; I don't want to underplay that.
And the job has benefits--among them, affordable health insurance. Priceless.
During the past year prayer and worry have been a large part of my "insurance." Before the twins turned 19, we were covered by BadgerCare, Wisconsin's very good program to see that children get the healthcare they need. But 19 is the cutoff point for kids and their mothers.
Ironically, healthcare may have been one of the reasons I got the job. I've been suffering from a chronic stuffy nose (rhinitis) and sinus infections for a long time. That doesn't sound like much, but it keeps you a little below par all the time. And some people can't stand being around the stuffy-nosed. It became so bad I had to seek medical care. I got the job following an interview during my first free-breathing week. Coincidence? Maybe. But it also illustrates why getting appropriate care is a worthwhile investment. Now I'm paying more taxes, with gratitude.
No story about health insurance in the US is so simple, though.
I spent hours this week trying to figure out which of the four available HMOs I should choose. If I lived in Madision, I'd have many more choices, including a number of nonprofits with 4-star customer satisfaction ratings. In Milwaukee, all the options are for-profit, and at best they get 2 stars. That may reflect a crankier, more critical population in Milwaukee and not worse care. Who knows?
The easiest way to choose, since all the plans seemed pretty comparable, was to find out which ones my current physician is in. Seems simple. So I called the clinic and asked to talk to the person who knows about insurance.
"Well, we don't really know. We bill all the plans."
"Okay, but do they all PAY?"
"You'll have to call the (larger entity) billing office."
I do, and ask the same question: "I'm trying to choose an insurance company. My doctor is Dr. X. Is she covered by HMO A, HMO B, HMO C, or HMO D?"
"We can't really say. You'll have to call the HMOs. But I'll give you our (status) number.
I go to the website for HMO A to check the database. Is Dr. X one of their providers? Her name doesn't show up on the search. But the site has a disclaimer: just because a name shows up doesn't mean they are actually in the plan, and just because a name doesn't show up doesn't mean they aren't.
Okay. I move on to the next HMO website. Ditto. So I call their customer service line.
"Hi. Can you tell me if Dr. X. is one of your providers, please?"
"You have to go to our website to see."
" I did. She didn't show up but her clinic is listed. Can you double check to make sure she's included?"
"You'll have to call her office."
Been there, done that, dead end. My blood pressure is climbing, I'm sure. Since it's low to start, it may have gotten all the way up to 120/80.
One last stab. I call HMO C. "Hi. Can you help me? I need to know if my doctor is one of your providers and I haven't had much luck with the website."
"Just a minute, let me see." Ten seconds pass, and she returns. "Oh yes, she's a provider. But she's not taking new patients."
"That's ok. I'm already a patient. Thanks so much—you're the first person who's actually helped me."
Is there any question that the systems under which healthcare operates have some serious flaws? If the physician (who I emailed), her office, the billing office, and the customer service departments of insurance companies can't answer such a simple question, what on earth happens with complicated ones?
As you probably surmised, I went with HMO C. Not much better than a coin toss, but at least I know they have some positive attitudes about customer service. Of course, as long as the "customers" the insurance companies are interested in are their shareholders, not the insured, we can't have high expectations.

And so the Star Wars speculation continues apace.
Earlier this week, we got word that Harrison Ford will reportedly reprise his role as Han Solo in the upcoming trilogy, and now all eyes are on whether legendary composer John Williams will make a return to the franchise.
According to a fresh report, Williams, who won an Oscar for his iconic theme music to the original 1977 Star Wars, has revealed he is keen to score the upcoming movies.
At a recent concert in Los Angeles, the 81-year-old composer, who provided the theme music for all six of the previous Star Wars films, paused to speak about his association with the franchise, before conducting the classic theme.
"We're about to play Star Wars and each time we play it, I'm reminded of the first time we played it decades ago," Total Film (via JWFan) quotes him as saying at the event.
"Neither I, nor George [Lucas], nor anyone else involved thought this would go far or in a few years there would be a sequel and I'd have to revisit the themes... and years later another trilogy.
"Now we're hearing of a new set of movies coming in 2015, 2016... so I need to make sure I'm still ready to go in a few years for what I hope would be continued work with George."
Lucas recently shared that his involvement in the making of Star Wars: Episode VII, directed by J.J. Abrams, and based on a script written by Little Miss Sunshine scribe Michael Arndt, will be limited.
"[If the filmmakers ask], 'Who's this guy?' I can tell them," he revealed. "I mean, they have a hundred encyclopaedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I can say, 'This is this and this is that.'"
Lucas added: "Basically I'm not - I don't really have much to do."
ComingSoon.com also notes that Abrams has a long history of hiring composer Michael Giacchino for his TV and movie projects.
So, at this stage, only time will tell if the composer will be making a return trip to that galaxy far, far away. But it would be a struggle to imagine any Star Wars film without Williams behind the podium, surely?
Star Wars: Episode VII is tentatively set to arrive in cinemas in 2015.
Meanwhile, as noted above, it was reported on Saturday that Ford's reprisal of his Han Solo role in the forthcoming Star Wars sequels is a "done deal".
According to Latino Review scooper Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez, the 70-year-old actor is "officially" on board.
"Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars movies. It's huge. It hasn't been reported anywhere yet. He's officially coming back as Han Solo," he said during an appearance on Fox News Latino.
Gonzalez claimed he had "triple checked" his "legitimate sources", but was unable to confirm whether the actor's role in the series will be a major one or a cameo.
Blogger Roger Friedman of showbiz411.com concurred with Gonzalez that Ford would be making a return.
"I was told some time ago that Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill would be reprising their roles in Episode &, Obviously this new movie won't pick up where Return of the Jedi ended. It's some time in the future.
He continued, claiming to have some plot details "Han, Princess Leia (with a presumably better hairstyle), and Luke Skywalker will be a lot older. Their children will be the new main characters."
Adding, "But suffice to say, the three main actors are definitely coming back."
But according to EW.com writer Geoff Boucher, Ford has yet to ink a deal.
"Harrison Ford deal? My source says not yet," he shared on Twitter. "It will not be for weeks and perhaps months."
He later added: "I think it's going to happen but they are a few steps shy of signing contracts stage."
And the Force is still strong with Ewan McGregor.
The actor, who starred as a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy, has said that he'd be interested in reprising his role in a Star Wars spin-off film.
"I think it's a good idea," McGregor told MTV News, adding: "The only bit that I could get away with doing is after the last one I made, Episode III, before Alec Guinness, there's that period where he's in the desert.
"That might be my window, there, to tell that story. I don't know what he did in the desert. We could make up some stuff."
He added, "I'd be up for it. Could be quite exciting. I'd be up for it, for sure, of course."

Binghamton University to mark fifth anniversary of September 11
The Binghamton University campus community will observe the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with a variety of activities.
A morning memorial ceremony will begin at 8:40 a.m. Monday, September 11, in front of the Couper Administration Building. At 8:46 a.m., bells will chime to mark the moment when the first plane struck the World Trade Center. Several New York State University Police officers will then participate in a flag ceremony.
President Lois B. DeFleur and others will then proceed to the Memorial Courtyard in the Fine Arts building, where she will make brief remarks, place flowers at the monument commemorating the 15 Binghamton University alumni killed in the World Trade Center and observe a moment of silence.
Binghamton University is teaming up with the United Way of Broome County to participate in Day of Caring activities. Faculty, staff and students have volunteered to work on community projects involving renovating gardens, Meals on Wheels projects, painting and yard cleanup.
The Chabad House Jewish Student Center in conjunction with Hillel at Binghamton, the Jewish Heritage Program and Binghamton University's Division of Student Affairs will hold its annual, campus wide, Mitzvah Marathon from 11 a.m. -7p.m. Mitvah is the Hebrew word for "good deed" and the marathon is designed to present the campus community with opportunities to do a good deed in memory of the victims of 9/11. A pavilion will be set up between the University Union and the Library Tower where participants will be able to choose from many opportunities to do a Mitzvah. Participants will fill out a form documenting their good deed that will be attached to a picture of a victim of 9/11 and strung along a memory wall erected on the walkway near the Library Tower fountain.
Many local charity agencies will be on hand to offer volunteer opportunities within the wider community. Also available will be multiple opportunities for participants to give money, make sandwiches for the homeless, donate food to the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW), design New Year greeting cards for soldiers, buy a letter in a Torah Scroll, and say a prayer.
A Red Cross blood drive will take place in the Mandela Room from noon – 5 p.m.
A memorial ceremony will be held at noon in the Memorial Ceremony. Col. Jacob Goldstein, the first chaplain to be deployed to Ground Zero, will speak. President Lois DeFleur will also make remarks and a musical component will round out the memorial program.

The gift-giving season may be well behind us, but don't let that stop you from buying yourself a little something. After all, clothing is a basic human necessity! Or at least that's what I tell myself as I am filling out the checkout forms. If you need an extra push to help rationalize your geeky expenditures, consider the cold winter weather. I'm sure plenty of these great t-shirt designs are available as hoodies as well.
Even though you may have been off for the holidays, the steady march of great new t-shirts has not slowed down one bit. In fact, many online shirt vendors were putting out some of their top work to capitalize on the fourth quarter shopping frenzy. Check out the images below to see which designs were at the top of the class last month.
Nobody ever doubted that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michelangelo in particular, could party with the best. What we didn't know was whether that green ooze gave them some sort of food coma-prevention powers. Woot.com provides the answer: unfortunately not. Or perhaps maybe somebody ordered anchovies.

How many years of beekeeping have you all taken to get to a larger/commercial scale ?
and what do you consider commercial scale?
How many years of beekeeping have you all taken to get to a larger/commercial scale ?
and what do you consider commercial scale?
That word commercial is your issue. If you are making living at bee's that would be commercial right? But, what if you have a day job and run 150 hives are you commercial or a sideliner.?
160 years, and still starving......
Roland Diehnelt
Linden Apiary, est. 1852
I guess i worded it wrong. I am only trying to see what the growth rate might be for people who now have 100 ++ hives .
example : it took me 8 years to grow from 2 hives to 100 ++ . : )
just a curious question here.
If I where to consider going commercial I would be thinking of working for a commercial apiary for a min of 4 years before building my own.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
In-laws have been in the business for nearly a century; I've been at it for a few years. We're equipped to grow to a little less than a hundred hives, but we only run between 10-20. That's the right number for us to sell out of honey each season; any more, and we'd have to find a way to grab a bigger market share, or sell wholesale at a price that isn't appealing to any of us.
OK. I went from 2-11 in the same season. Then next season went to 80. The following season 150. It is a ton of work. I spend 2-3 hours every day of the year building stuff. If I miss a day I have to make it up on the weekend. It costs 20k or so for every 100 hives. Then add in the truck of 10k and forklift of 40k. So it is a huge checkbook suck hole and you might need to keep your day job.
If beekeeping cant fund itself for you, you may want to reconsider growing. It sounds like it might just be a really large expensive hobby.
I consider commericial beekeeping to be professional beekeeping - or the point at which you make your living. Anything else I would look at as sideliner or hobbyist. I was very happy as a sideliner and we made good money and did some of our best production running 50 hives. Beekeeping as a full time business is much like any other business and is dependant on the type of person you are as much as the nature of what you do. A few suggestions I might make would be:
1) Don't under capitalize - 80% of business fail in the 1st 5 years and here's the reason. You may want to move through the stages of sideliner to full time gaining equipment, experiance a market. When you think you have enough of a cushion then double it.
2) Know thyself - All business today is managing in crisis. The roller coaster economy, CCD, flutating energy costs, health care, retirement, severe weather are just a few challenges you will face every single day. Mangaing today is about being able to be flexible and turn a dime to take advantage of what may come. It takes a great deal of fortitude and faith when you are waiting on a big market day, a big pollination check, a check from a packer ect, and it doesn't come on time. You'll still have to make payroll (your's if nothing else), pay business debt, conduct marketing efforts, make the mortage payment and punt from the 38 yard line. If you don't strive under frequent stress and have the ability to do the impossible on any given day then full time beekeeping ( or any farm business) is likely not for you.
2) Find/create your niche - Wholesale honey at 2.00/lb and the US production vs demand means you will very likely be able to make reasonable money during your build-up to full time. What will your income streams be, how will you develop them, how long will it take and what hive, vehicle, building, capital and other resourses will you need in place to make that happen. We made the mistake early on of allowing ourself to get pidgeon holed into retail honey sales. It has been good for us but I think it is the most expensive and labor intensive way to make a profit. It took a few year to expand into other areas and make them profitable due to being so invested in one area.
3) Educate yourself - Lectures, seminars and classes from people who are already doing this at the level you want to reach. Hobbyist courses will be of little value when you are working to efficiently manage a few hundred hives or more a week. Good video's , ABJ and other periodicals, Good bee research studies all will serve you well. You'll need to apply these successfully in the field before you will be successful at the bank. A day with a good commerical beekeeper is worth a week of classroom instruction. Don't forget to subscribe to Inc and Fast Company type magazines to read that people who run $30 million dollar companies have had to sell their car for half what it's worth to make payroll in a bad week. I am always amazed at how my business problems are the same as the guy who runs a huge outlet chain and getting their "mantra" helps me be a better business man overall.
4) Quit your job when the time come - Bee prepared, plan well, have a reserve and make the jump. Nothing will motivate you and bring out the best business man beekeeper you can be like getting the late notice on your mortgage. Hunger can be a real motivator. Working 18 hrs a day - 7 days a week, trying to work full time and run a commericial operation will cost you more than you will imagine so make you plan, prepare and go for it if that's your dream.
Most of us who do this for a living are just people who would rather work 12 hours a day and own our time than sell our lives to someone else 8 at a time. We love the creative, challenging process it takes to succeed by our wits and are willing to risk it all to do it and that risk is virutally every day. It is this wonderful roller coaster which as it reaches each new peak we love the anticipation of riding it over the top and screaming down the other side in the face of fear and the face of each victory. Today my 22 year old son sits next to me on this ride now and that's pretty cool too.
I knew a hospice worker who I spoke with before I made the jump. She told me the only consistent regret she saw with terminal patients was the one thing they really wanted to do in life but didn't go for - With that thought in mind then it really for me was just about what I really wanted. I walked away from a 60K a year job (very good in my area), full bene's and have not regretted it for a day.

Well i need to have more hives right now and eventually (if i can keep them alive every year) i see where it will be funding itself for equipment and feed ect. But until then i want to grow and i have been building most everything myself except for frames , i buy them unassembled , i tried cutting them out and it's to intricate for me right now. but Keeping bees makes me happy . and the customers love the honey that i sell . So life is too short to not do the things a person really wants to do, if i make a profit , so be it.
I just don't want to step on any toes in the pollination market , but all i hear is "We need more bees for pollination" from the government , so maybe i could get into it someday , who knows.
I work at a family business small engine shop and will be taking it over someday in the future , don't get me wrong i like being a mechanic , i am very good at my job , and i walk to work , i live 350 feet away from the shop . I don't make much money , i get 10 /hour and since it's a family business , i treat it like it is my own money and don't take too much. I am nearly 32 years old and i have no kids (except for our 2 great danes : ) ) and me and my fiance have managed our money well enough that the mortgage will be paid off in 5 years time. So i hope i can manage a business in the same respect , where i can do well enough to stay on top and have both businesses going for as long as i am alive : )
Maybe if i get enough money i could pay someone to run the shop and i will just be a beekeeper : ) LOL
Sounds to me like you will have no problem. Why supplement the bees from your current income then?
What do you mean supplement from my current income ? Sorry i am a little thick sometimes : ) It feels like monday all over again today.
I only have 7 hives right now , so for me to grow faster i will need to buy more bees to do that. I don't want to split my strong hives in spring , because from what i was told , it will decrease the honey production in those hives. But i am only going by what i am told here. I will be taking a course at a university this year that has 4 different modules throughout the season , hopefully it will cover a lot of the questions i have on managing an apiary properly.
Have a good day
I sorry Ben. I am mistaken. I thought you were saying you already have 100 colonies.
Maybe you should take your weaker ones and split them to save the cost of buying NUCs and packages. Thats a tough choice to make for sure.
To grow at your own pace is the best in my opinion. As you sell your honey and maybe get some pollination money, buy more equipment and slowly expand. Each nitch in keeping bees requires different skills. Also your managment skills and practices will have to change as you grow too.
As I am growing I keep the beekeeping money separate from the family account. I have been holding at about 100 hives for the last couple of years and will bump that up to around 150 this year. I wanted to have the funds in hand to get a truck and forklift before I started to get any larger.
Yeah sounds like a smart way to grow without major debt load. I think i will get at least another 5-6 nucs this spring if they are available and if i have some weak colonies i will make nucs out of them and requeen or something.
This should be a fun year , i can't wait until spring time.
I like your break down Joel, thanks for the insight!
Coyote Creek Bees
Will be starting my 3rd year, have 40+ hives now. Figure it will take me the next 10 years till I retire from my day job, to get to 500 hives, so I can then take it easy. So far I've yet to buy a bee.


text: Hey everyone, Just joined the forum. I am new to these. I have a 2005 Suburban Z71 4x4. Just recently started getting into cars and trucks and modification. Haven't done anything with my truck yet except de-badge it haha. Hoping to meet some cool new people and learn more about trucks. Always have loved the Suburbans. Hopefully someone else in my area is into them too.

This has probably been discussed before, but not sure which board it would have been posted on.
We know that bees see colors. We know that painting hives different colors is supposed to aid the prevention of drifting.
In light of all that what colors should a person paint there hives? My thoughts are aleternate each hive with a diffent color.
Any thoughts?

Food Lion Success Story
The sign said: FOOD LION COMING SOON!
To some people in Wilmington, Delaware, that meant more local traffic, especially during rush hour. To others it was exciting to hear that a new supermarket was opening. To the counselors and employment specialists at the Delaware Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) it was great news—it meant getting people jobs.
In June 2009, DVR Employment Specialist John Ludwig saw the help wanted sign and contacted the manager of Food Lion, LLC. He learned that stores were opening in two other Delaware towns, and that they were in need of a location to hold an employment fair. Initially, John offered to aide Food Lion in the interviewing process and proposed using a few DVR offices for the interviews. However, after a second conversation with the manager, he quickly realized that Food Lion's needs were far beyond what he initially envisioned. John sought the assistance of District Administrator Cynthia Fairwell who requested a teleconference with Food Lion. She found that:
- Food Lion had plans to open three stores in New Castle County before the end of the year. (One in late August, one in early October, and one store at the end of the year.)
- Food Lion was looking for a location to do interviews that would accommodate 11 human resources (HR) representatives who could start at 8:00 a.m. and interview until 5:00 p.m.
- Food Lion's plan was to staff the two northern store locations first. The intended to hold two sessions during which they would interview every person who expressed an interest in their company.
- Food Lion was looking for assistance in advertising their need for qualified workers.
- Food Lion had three weeks to make this happen and was requesting DVR's assistance.
Realizing this task would call for more help than anticipated, DVR met with the Division of Employment and Training staff and invited them to become partners for the employment fair.
Due to great advertising, Food Lion received an abundance of applications. They decided that every person who submitted an application would be given a 15-minute preliminary interview with a Food Lion HR manager and, if the person received an adequate rating during their preliminary interview, he or she would be given a call back interview.
During the three weeks leading up to the employment fair, Food Lion held daily conference calls, planning meetings, and sent several e-mails confirming the logistics of the employment fair. Food Lion representatives became such regulars at the Department of Labor (DOL) building that they were treated like DOL staff. DVR Division Director Andrea Guest, Secretary of Labor Thomas McMahon, and Division of Employment & Training Director Thomas Smith were kept abreast of all activities and supported all efforts wholeheartedly.
By all accounts the employment fair was a success. In fact, one Food Lion manager stated that the event was one of the "best managed and most organized employment fairs" she had witnessed in some time. During the two sessions, approximately 600 people from diverse backgrounds were interviewed by Food Lion, forty-five of whom were DVR clients. There were no problems with crowd control, staffing the interviews, or the time frames allotted for people to be seen. Job seekers gave one another encouragement and appeared to exhibit a sense of camaraderie.
Food Lion staff was elated with the great outreach and customer service they received from DOL, especially John and the DVR Employment Services Unit who saw a need from the business perspective and did what was essential to meet that need.
When Food Lion in Wilmington opened its doors on August 26, 2009, 25 of the 60 new employees hired were DVR consumers!

I agree that she's sometimes skating to the same classical kind of music, but so is Yu-Na: you will never see Yu-Na/Caro skating to "I got rythm" like Mao or to a funny/light program, because it just isn't their style. Caro is always soft, elegant and classic, Yu-Na is always dramatic and energetic (excluding the early years, yes, but in those years her artistic abilities were not "her style" yet), Mao is really the only one who has experimented a variety in her style.
And, for me, the ranking is:
SS Caro>Yu-Na>Mao
TR Yu-Na>Mao>Caro
PE Caro>Yu-Na=Mao
CH Caro>Mao>Yu-Na
IN Yu-Na>Caro>Mao
For the technical side, Caro has the best technique in all the jumps, except the lutz (which is obviously Yu-Na's), but don't forget that she is the only one in the world, at the moment, who is able to land seven clean triples among the top Senior Ladies (all the others have UR, "e" problems or they simply don't have one triple, like Yu-Na), she doesn't always have beautiful transitions before them but their height and quality is comparable just to Yu-Na's.
So, for me the battle is Yu-Na vs Caro if they skate clean.
(For the mods, can you create another thread for this interesting discussion?)
Yuna skated to a funny, light yet matured music, All of Me.
As others already mentioned earlier in this thread, it is very clear that Lori does not necessarily bring originaloty nor creativity for Caro since the choreos for Mozart LP and this Bolero LP take almost exactly same variation of well-known contemporary dance routines or ballet routines.

I don't know why you excluded early years, but her Lark Ascending was lyrical and soft style, it was perfectly suited her. Beautiful choreography, interesting and difficult transitions..., It's one of her best programs, IMO.
Is her Gershwin program energetic and dramatic? I thought it was elegant, classic, and playful at the same time.
Her Arirang and Les Mis consists of various music cut - dynamic, energetic, but lyrical and soft at the same time. Yuna rarely uses monotonous, repetitive music.
Anyway, Caro has indeed great technique! ( her 3S, 3Lo, and 3F are fantastic!) However, compared to Yuna, she doesn't have transitions, flow, and speed in and out of the jumps.
Comparing Yuna and Carolina's jumps, I agree on transitions in and out of the jumps, Yuna has the edge here. But flow and speed, here I disagree. Besides the 3Lz which Carolina rarely does today and Yuna has a monster lutz, Caro has the best 3F, 3S and 3L in the world IMO. Just watch the 3F she did at worlds in Nice, it's simply the best in the world
I would put Yuna's 3Flip on par with Carolina's when it comes to speed and flow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...k5DHYXEE#t=74s
She used to go even faster and higher on it when she did it in combo with a 3T before the 09-10 season, but for a solo she's more gentle on the take-off and landing.
But Carolina definitely has the superior 3Salchow and 3Loop.

Genre: Fiction
Number of pages: 305 pages
What's the basic story line?
Legend is set in the future in a place that used to be the western coast of the United States but is now called "The Republic." The Republic is at war with their neighbor, "The Colonies." In this book, the two main characters are teenagers, a girl named June and a boy named Day. June is a prodigy who was born into a rich family and goes to the best schools and gets the best military training. Day is from a poor family and is the most-wanted criminal in the Republic. He is suspected of theft, assault and other crimes. Day and June cross paths when June is working undercover to find her brother's killer and they begin to fall in love. Later in the story, June figures out that Day killed her brother. She is torn between turning him in and letting him go. She does turn him in, but still feels like there's more to the story. The two begin to learn some terrible secrets about the Republic that no one is supposed to know, and having that information can cost them their lives!
Are the characters believable?
Yes! Day is a sweet character who comes from a poor family and is just trying to do anything he can to survive in the Republic, even if it is against the law. He is a positive thinker. June is a beautiful, smart girl who is very observant. She follows the rules, but she's also a bit of a troublemaker. She is independent and is set on finding her brother's killer.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a 10! This book had everything: suspense, surprises, and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for the sequel!

Jackett's challenge for Ismail
Kenny Jackett has challenged Zeli Ismail to use his pace and skill to get past defenders as the winger settles in to his first senior run.
Ismail, 19, has made seven appearances so far, his first sustained spell of football in the first team,
And Jackett is keen for the winger to make use of his qualities and build on his early impression.
"I think he can play better (than against Shrewsbury) – I think he was quite safe on the ball," said Jackett.
"He has the flair to go past people and put crosses in.
"That's the hardest part of the game – it's tough to continually go past people, create and make things happen, but it's a flair he has though and he'll learn from it, and go again.
"I have talked to Zeli quite a lot about his overall situation and his game.
"I felt after the game that in situations in their half and in the final third, he's quick enough to go past people and he needs to be more direct with his play because there are a lot of times when he doesn't need the trick to go past someone.
"He's quick enough and he's genuinely two-footed – he can keep opponents guessing because he can go either way.
"So for him to be more direct about his play and go at people when he gets the ball, is something we've talked about him doing.
"For me, when we get him into a wide area, he can go past someone, put the cross in, or someone can put the shot in.
"There are many times when he doesn't need a trick to do that – he's quick enough and direct enough to be able to get straight to that."
With Leigh Griffiths back in training the only doubt in the striking department for Saturday's visit of Sheffield United is Kevin Doyle, who has a thigh injury.
In an ideal world Jackett would like all his strikers fit and available believing he will need them all during a long and challenging season.
"I was pleased with Jake Cassidy when he came off the bench on Saturday – I thought he played well," added Jackett.
"We have four strikers and if we can get five, fine.
"We have Liam McAlinden in that fifth slot at present, so if I can have them all, and have a strong bench, that would be my preference.
"But we won't risk Kevin (Doyle) either – we'll see how he is round about Thursday or Friday."
*Jake Cassidy struck a hat trick as a Wolves side including several senior players beat Sheffield United 4-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Compton yesterday.
Liam McAlinden was also on target in a game in which Kevin Foley and Richard Stearman were amongst the seniors picking up valuable match practice.
WOLVES: McCarey, Foley, Cranston, Stearman, Iorfa, Ebanks-Landell, Forde, Evans, Cassidy, McAlinden, Price. USED SUBS: Kostrna, Jakobsson, Bancessi, Whittall.
*Hospitality Packages are still available to purchase for the Sheffield United fixture from £48 inc VAT. Packages include on site car parking, padded seats, matchday programmes, a complimentary drink plus much more. Hospitality sales will close on Thursday at 5pm.

text: Given that Im am not a power rider, but try to do a min. 5 mi./day on our country town road with some lowish, rolling hills, that is, we arent flat and we arent hilly, I get a varied workout and a good feel for what rations are working. My bike for 'serious' is a Trek 7200, set up 'English', but it doesnt count here. The ones that Im talking about are the '72 BSA 'Pubman' with a SA sgl. spd. coaster and 46T chainring and several 'cruisers' with 44T c-rings. Ive collected 16, 17, 18. 19. and 22 tooth rear sprockets which interchange between all, and swap easily. Given me and the road, here is what Ive found. The 16 is pretty tall, when you are feeling strong and on the level or wind at your back, you fly along briskly. I fade pretty quick when I hit the grade or headwind (or, worst of all, a grade AND headwind!) I can do it, but it is work. The 17 cuts that pain and suffering, and it is kind of a tossup between it and the 18 for a nice all rounder. The 19 is nice if there is a headwind when I leave, but the cadence is a little too quick for an all rounder for me, though I think I would probably like it in town. The 22 is a spinner, slow and powerful (did I say slow) and would probably be pretty good if I went off road some, but I like pavement now. Without messing with the chain lengths I have been able to go from a 22 (axle up close to the end of slot) to a 16 (but the axle was wayyy back, virtually no chain adjustment left) on GT Dyno Deuce. Other bikes/adj. will likely vary. I think if you set up for a 19 up close you should be pretty good to go to the tall 16. Maybe this will help some of you during builds to get an idea what sprockets to initially try out and not have chain length woes later.

So many Americans are left with no choice but to accept chronic disease as their inevitable fate. They don't have access to the natural means of healing and prevention that can help put them on the path to good health.
The Renew H.O.P.E. Foundation is on a mission to make natural and integrative health care options available and affordable for those in need. Our nation is struggling with several health crises, and topping the list is affordable care. Insurance benefits are becoming increasingly stringent as far as the alternative treatments they'll cover–that is, if we have health benefits at all. At the same time, and partially due to this health crisis, the nutrition and natural health fields are growing faster than ever with new research breaking daily on the life-changing benefits of proper nutrition and natural health modalities.
Renew H.O.P.E (Health, Options, Prevention, and Education) has several programs in place to help change all that:
- The H.O.P.E. To Health program offers educational and financial assistance to those in need of essential dietary information and supplements. This program empowers its members with the tools and supplements they need to turn their health challenges around and share this information with others.
- The Nutrition for Hire program is an affiliation of natural health care practitioners and professionals dedicated to educating communities and transforming community members' health through lectures, consultations, and events.
- The On Your Way program works one-on-one with qualified individuals to get them the integrative health care and education they need. This program offers financial assistance and expert referrals to the alternative health care practitioners best suited to them.
Renew H.O.P.E. was founded by renowned natural health and digestive care expert Brenda Watson as a means to reach out to communities and individuals in need. As a non-profit organization, Renew H.O.P.E. depends on donations to keep offering assistance. Find out how you can donate and get involved in one of the today's most exciting and groundbreaking health foundations.
Please visit renewhope.org if you or anyone you know may be able to benefit from one of the foundation's assistance programs.
"Your health is your greatest asset and our greatest priority." —Brenda Watson, President Renew H.O.P.E.

Gun debate divides nation, High Desert
Pt. 1 of special report on issue of our time
BEND, Ore. - Perhaps it started with Columbine. Virginia Tech made us more nervous. The memories came flooding back with Chardon High School. Then terrified us by bringing a comic book character to life in Aurora's theater, and now: Newtown.
Mass shootings, several at schools no less, have made us think or rethink about the way we view public spaces, guns and lawmakers.
It seems that our country hasn't been this divided in decades. The national gun control debate is reaching a fever pitch, and it's scaring people -- on both sides.
"It's almost like a class war, the whole gun issue," said Mark Waters, a former competitive shooting sports champ, having had matches at the Olympic training center in Colorado and all over the Rockies.
The Bend video production guru only occasionally goes out to the shooting range now. But while he relies on Bear Mace as his primary protection against an intruder, he's always had guns in the house, air rifles being his favorite. And just last month, he rejoined the NRA.
"I think a lot of my friends think anybody who shoots is ignorant, wears a 'wife beater' (T-shirt), beats their wife, kicks their dog, drinks low-brow beer -- you name it, any kind of elitist perspective," Waters said recently at his Bend home.
"But the fact of the matter is, people who shoot are across the board, and trying to brand somebody as ignorant, or demonize them for legal gun ownership is, in my point of view, misplaced," he added.
Since the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, Waters has been researching gun statistics, watching political interviews and talking with friends, many of whom he says staunchly support stricter gun control laws.
"There's people that have more moderate views that say, 'We don't want to take all the guns away. We just want to take away the most dangerous ones,'" Waters explained. "But the people who are saying 'the most dangerous guns' are not the ones who necessarily have any education about what guns are, and what they do."
In an Associated Press/GfK poll done last month, six in 10 Americans said they want stricter gun laws. Two-thirds of non-gun owners would ban military-style weapons and 60 percent would ban high-capacity magazines.
Compare that with gun owners, where just 40 percent would support a ban on military-style guns, and 37 percent favor a ban on high-capacity magazines.
Montgomery County, Alabama Sheriff D.T. Marshall made national headlines in January, saying he'd like to see the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 be reinstated.
"These guns are made to kill people. Kill people and, with large-capacity magazines, a large number of people," Marshall told an Alabama TV station.
Three weeks ago, Linn County, Oregon sheriff Tim Mueller was in the news when he drafted a letter to Vice President Biden, refusing to enforce any gun control law that infringed on the Second Amendment, the right to have and carry guns, saying he would even fight the feds from enforcing it within his county as well.
Sheriffs in Crook and Coos counties backed him up, sending much the same letter.
But Clatsop County District Attorney Josh Marquis said this regarding the perceived attack on the Second Amendment: "I haven't read anything the administration is proposing about taking guns away from American citizens. I think the sheriffs are overreacting."
Marion County Sheriff Jason Myers agreed, saying, "I haven't seen anything to indicate the federal government is going to do that."
Don't miss the rest of our story Thursday night on NewsChannel 21 at 10 on Fox. You'll see the surprising statistics about mass shootings in the U.S. -- how they're increasing, but how these killers are getting hold of weapons.
We'll also have more on the federal assault weapons ban that some lawmakers want to reinstate.

Guest room is so beautiful. Photo's are no fake. Pleasant host. Equipment (City Guides, Maps, Descriptions, etc.) where you can work with.
I had such a great time in Harlem Hideaway, the room was fantastic, very cozy, nice and clean. The host was very kind and his hospitality was one of a kind.
Looking forward to coming back real soon!
uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert: super Lage zum Central Park und Subway in die City, alles wie beschrieben, sauber, sehr freundlicher Empfang, immer ein sicheres Gefühl, einfach wunderbar. Vielen Dank an Dennis!!! Wir haben die 10 Tage im Herbst absolut genossen
Notre séjour à NY chez Dennis fût magique. C'était la première fois à NY et c'était parfait. La maison de Dennis est située dans une rue calme et proche du métro. En 15 minutes vous êtes à Time Square! Le logement était génial grâce au soin que Dennis apporte à sa maison et au souci du détail. Tout est vraiment comme sur les photos. Un style colonial trop chic ! A conseiller sans plus attendre !
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a great time in NYC and our stay in Dennis' apartment has contributed to a high extent. Dennis is such a kind person! A candle was lighted when we arrived, we felt like being at home. Dennis introduced the apartment and the surrounding very well to us. He has a helpful collection of tipps from other visitors so you have the opportunity to get insider information. The apartment is well equiped and the surrounding in Harlem is safe. Subway is close by. What else do you need? Thank you so much, Dennis!
We had a brilliant stay at Harlem Hideaway Garden Apartment, ideally located you are just 5 stops away from Time Square by tube allowing you to enjoy a more quite and relax environment than staying downtown.
Dennis is a great host and the flat is ideal for a family.
We would definitely recommend it.
The stay in this lovely apartment made it really only our vacation in New York. Dennis and 'a very friendly and helpful. The house did not disappoint the expectations: cozy, clean and comfortable made us feel at home, the perfect place to retreat to after a day in the heart of Manhattan. The district 'lively, but quiet. I recommend everyone Harlem, Dennis and his fantastic apartment.
Silvia and Elena

La casa non ha deluso le aspettative: accogliente, pulita e confortevole ci ha fatto sentire a casa, il posto perfetto dove rifugiarsi dopo una giornata nel cuore di Manhattan. Il quartiere e' vivace, ma tranquillo. Consiglio a tutti Harlem, Dennis e il suo fantastico appartamento.

I have seen some information on the web of people using tea tree oil in sugar syrup to help with varroa mites. I am having a hard time finding a recipe with an actual quantity of how much tea tree oil. Does anyone have a syrup recipe with a quantity?
I found the excerpt below and makes me wonder if it should be used in this manner at all. Has anyone here used it long term? Did the hive do well longterm, i.e., was the hive strong the following year, honey production, did they winter well?
According to the American Cancer Society: "Tea tree oil is toxic when swallowed. It has been reported to cause drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations, coma, unsteadiness, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, blood cell abnormalities, and severe rashes. It should be kept away from pets and children."[22]

Before you complain about Mann Lake, you should be aware that they will tell you that shipping foundation in the winter is at your risk. Beeswax becomes very brittle when it's cold, and will shatter like glass at 15F. If you had it shipped when it was cold, you were warned it wouldn't likely make it to you intact. Nothing Mann Lake or anyone else could do about it.
I need a pile of foundation, but will either drive down to Kelley's to get it or wait until the night temps are well above freezing to order it, it will arrive shattered otherwise.
