What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using methadone (Methadose Oral Concentrate)?
Taking methadone improperly will increase your risk of serious side effects or death. Even if you have used other narcotic medications, you may still have serious side effects from methadone. Follow all dosing instructions carefully.
Methadone may be habit forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Never share Methadone with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
Do not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include codeine, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others). You should also not take methadone if you are having an asthma attack or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
To make sure you can safely use methadone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- a personal or family history of "Long QT syndrome";
- asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
- liver or kidney disease;
- underactive thyroid;
- curvature of the spine;
- a history of head injury or brain tumor;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- low blood pressure;
- gallbladder disease;
- Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
- enlarged prostate, urination problems;
- mental illness; or
- a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Methadone will harm an unborn baby. Methadone may cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using Methadone.
Methadone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Older adults and people with debilitating conditions may be more sensitive to the effects of this medication.
How should I use methadone (Methadose Oral Concentrate)?
Use exactly as prescribed. Never use Methadone in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Like other narcotic medicines, methadone can slow your breathing, even long after the pain-relieving effects of the medication wear off. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak. Never use more methadone than your doctor has prescribed. Call your doctor if you think the medicine is not working.
When methadone is used as part of a treatment program for drug addiction or detoxification, you will receive the medication through a clinic or special pharmacy.
Your doctor may recommend that methadone be given to you by a family member or other caregiver. This is to make sure you are using the medicine as it was prescribed as part of your treatment.
Additional forms of counseling and/or monitoring may be recommended during treatment with methadone.
Methadone is available in tablets, dispersible tablets, oral solution (liquid) and as an injection. The pill and oral liquid forms of methadone must never be used to make a methadone injection.
Measure the liquid form of methadone with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
The methadone dispersible tablet (Diskets) is made to be dissolved in water. Do not chew, crush, or swallow the tablet whole. Place the tablet into a 4-ounce glass of water, orange juice, or other citrus-flavored non-alcoholic beverage and allow the tablet to disperse in the liquid. The tablet will not dissolve completely. Drink this mixture right away. To make sure you get the entire dose, add a little more liquid to the same glass, swirl gently and drink right away.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
After you have stopped using this medication, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
Keep track of how much of this medicine has been used. Methadone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription.

Lt. Gen. Charles G. Rodriguez
Adjutant general speaks at ROTC commissioning event
By Shelley Kilpatrick
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(May 9, 2007)--Lt. Gen. Charles G. Rodriguez, adjutant general for the State of Texas, will be guest speaker for the Army ROTC commissioning ceremony at 3 p.m., Friday, May 11 in the Main Building Auditorium (0.106) on the UTSA 1604 Campus.
Stationed at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, Rodriguez is responsible for commanding more than 21,000 soldiers, airmen and civilians of the Texas military forces. Rodriguez began his military service in 1975, when he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy and began service in the Signal Corps.

He served eight years as combat engineer with the 101st Airborne Air Assault Division in light infantry and tactical signal battalions, served with the G3 operations office of the 1st Armored Division and as the division's Signal Battalion Headquarters Company commander. Subsequently, he transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve, where he served 11 years.
Since joining the Texas Army National Guard in 1995, Rodriguez commanded the 136th Signal Battalion in corps support, and as quartermaster officer commanded the 136th Regional Training Regiment in combat arms.
Before serving as Texas adjutant general, Rodriguez was the assistant adjutant general for homeland defense in the Texas Joint Forces Headquarters and was designated commander in Texas for domestic joint forces operations.
For more information, contact Lt. Commander Dan Misket, UTSA professor of military science, at (210) 458-4622.

It's a mag / mag spring issue. See part in bold below...
Having 8rds in a standard length tube like those that come with most 1911s will have more spring tension and the cartridges have less "breathing room" That "feels like something hitting" is in fact the top cartridge making contact with the bottom of the slide, the rounds don't have alot of room to further compress into the magazine so it feels stiff. A good firm slap should get the magazine to go in.
As for with the slide pulled to the rear, same thing, the slide has to overcome that high tension when stripping the top cartridge from the magazine. Load and unload the mags a couple dozen times and the springs will start breaking in.
Switching to a magazine with a longer tube like the Wilson ETM or Tripp Cobra Mag should eliminate the problem all together.

Here is a thought/question for those of you who build all yourselves:
What is wrong with using 1x10" boards to build the deep hive boxes? The only problem I can see would be the incompatibility with stuff you need to buy. But if someone is making boxes and frames, the only thing that one has to do is to make the frames also a tad less tall (3/8" to be exact since the specs for a deep call for 9-5/8" and a 1x10" board is 9-1/4"). Today I checked at Home Depot and #2 pine boards 1x10x10 run at $11, while the same #2 pine but 1x12x10 boards run at $16. In other words, one would be throwing away 5 bucks for every 10ft of lumber used to gain 3/8" in depth.
Please somebody tell me if the sligtly less tall deep hive would create a problem that I don't see. Otherwise, it seems to me that keeping deeps at 9-5/8" cn be thought of as just a scam buy the lumber industry to make us waste 1/3 of the dollars and a strip of almost 2" wide and 10ft long for every 10 feet of lumber that go into making deep hives.
Note: one still needs to buy the foundation, but scisors will take care of the 3/8" at the bottom and you can use the wax for something else.

Discussion in 'Board Business' started by Server Guy, Oct 18, 2012.
Is there a way to remove it completely? I find it highly distracting.
I like it. Maybe we need a poll.
You've forgotten already?
I also find the floating "back to top" button distracting. It prevents me from reading the posts at the bottom of the screen. I have to keep scrolling up so that the post I'm reading is in the middle of the screen. Much more scrolling as a result.
Sorry I find it distracting too I'd like it removed alltogether
Loving the back to top feature. Working well on my iPad, so much faster and easier than finger scrolling.
And I was wondering about the lips too. Returning anytime soon?
Honest question: why does the 'top' button not work for those of you who like the 'back to top' button? When I finish reading the posts in a thread and need to get back to the top of the page, I just hit the 'top' button. There is no extra scrolling because the button is right there by the last post, under the page number links. Do you normally stop reading before you get to the end of the posts?
Count me in as not being a fan of the back to top button.
Hmmm, looks like we're split. Keep or get rid of it?
I like the 'back to top' button, and the way it rolls to the top of the page is fun.
I've come up with a genius solution. By default, the Back to Top button will be disabled (Sorry for everyone who likes it). Now, to re-enable it, go to 'General Settings' in your UserCP or follow this link. Scroll down to 'Thread Display Options' and there's a shiny new option allowing you to enable or disable the Back to Top button.
Never mind.
If I go on the "Settings" button on the top right, it brings me to the general FSU start page and not to the subscribed threads. This is only since yesterday - did something get changed?
Glad Back to Top is gone - just extra clutter.
Question: Am I suppose to see my rep "star" in my postings? I only see the triangle.
I don't think so. You should only see it on posts you can rep and since you can't rep your own it's not visible.
Thanks milanessa.
On the old form I saw the rep thingy.
Yeah, I did too. I think that change is just a tweak to clean up the board - no need to see what you can't use.
Did you modify anything ? I wanted to "debug" my "line-height:" problem in order to provide a documented feedback, but... it doesn't show anymore !
Anyway, that's great and really more enjoyable
See this - https://tmpdmp.com/i/a6b8bb5a87e10131/48d1948fcb8483ae
No, you're not mean't to. Might just be a cache issue, really nothing to worry about.
Haven't changed much except site optimization and the Back to Top button. Might've just been an issue with your cache and the way the browser handled it.
Something happened that was either a glitch... or a glitch...
I got a notification of a rep comment but could not see any new rep comment. So was it from someone on my ignore list or just a glitch?
Question. I'm not a subscriber, but I used to be able to see what posts of mine had received reputation or comments. I can't find that function anymore; is it still around? If so, where? Thanks.
It used to be under "Settings" (in the upper right corner) but that does not work for me any more. At least not under Firefox. Only under Internet Explorer. With Firefox I always get this page: http://www.fsuniverse.net/ when I click on settings.
Yep ! That's probably what happened, as I cleaned the cache before shutting down my computer the evenig before trying to check what the problem was
The way signatures are displayed on my Android phone is very distracting. They are of the same font size and there is no break separating them from the body text. Is there anyway to make signatures smaller or have some division before them? Thank you!! Everything else works great now.
I get confused with this sometimes too. I keep thinking the poster has posted, hit return 5 or 6 times and typed something else.
There used to be an arrow on the right after the thread title & before the no of replies which would take you to your last post. I can't find it anymore. Some of the "envelope" icons on the left have an arrow on them but nothing happens when I click on it.

Nine out of 10 Afghan women surveyed last year believe the lives of women and girls, already disadvantaged, will deteriorate significantly once the foreigners leave.
by Tracy McVeigh Pre-dawn in Kabul. In each dark street a short line of giant lightbulbs switch on, red, green and white, marking bakeries where warm slabs of golden flatbread are handed through open shop-front windows to sleepy little boys in white tunics and to men with blankets around their shoulders, picking up their lunch for work.
"This is man's bread," says Hamil Fareed, a young baker. "Women's bread," he explains, is different, the dough kneaded at home by mothers and cooked at the back in the clay ovens and returned to the family.
The segregation of Kabul's daily bread is not a cultural tradition, but started under the Taleban in the 1990s. Faced with a half-starved city of war widows barred from working, studying or leaving their homes, someone began a clandestine communal fire pit where women could bake flatbread for their children and earn a few coins by selling them.
The United Nations, impotent in quelling the vicious war, encouraged more such schemes and, when Taleban soldiers seemed to tolerate figures in burqas creeping out to little backstreet bakeries, heralded it as a "step forward" in women's rights.
The international community said the fall of the Taleban in 2001 would bring in an era of rights. Women and girls would be returned to schools and workplaces and freed from the fierce restrictions on their lives.
It was a key political justification used by the British and Americans for their continued presence. Now, with the withdrawal of international forces and their caravan of international agencies, consultants and contractors coming up next year, there is evidence that Afghan women have seen very few of the promised changes and are terrified of the future.
The outside world has used Afghanistan as a pawn in its geopolitical "great games" since the 19th century and ensnared it in a labyrinth of strategic and economic interests.
Since 2001 it has received about £60 billion ($114.5 billion) of aid; there have been tangible improvements in education, maternal mortality, employment, and the representation of women in governance. There are signs that those gains are too fragile to survive the foreigners' departure.
A survey of women across Afghanistan by the charity ActionAid found that nine out of 10 feared the departure of the foreigners, believing their lives will significantly deteriorate. And violence against women has never been higher: 87 per cent of women report domestic abuse.
The return of 2.2 million girls to school after 2001 was considered the international community's great triumph, but in the past few years schools have been closing behind the departing backs of foreign forces. There have been reports of schoolgirls poisoned and beaten, teachers assassinated and classrooms firebombed.
Most girls don't stay on after fifth grade and nine out of 10 15-year-old girls are illiterate. The British and other forces have built dozens of rural schools which the Afghan Government cannot afford to keep open after next year, and the same is true of the health clinics. Of the 5.8 million without access to healthcare in Afghanistan, 4.4 million are women.
There is rhetoric. And there is reality. Last year Britain's international development committee found "little evidence" to back up British government claims of commitment to promoting the rights of Afghan women.
The Elimination of Violence Against Women Act was brought into law in 2009, but it is widely ignored by courts, religious leaders have declared it un-Islamic, and last year the US-backed Government of President Hamid Karzai upheld the right of a husband to beat his wife.
Half the female prison population are convicted of "moral crimes" - which include running away from violent husbands, fathers or in-laws. Federal law is ignored in the local courts, where nearly 90 per cent of all criminal and civil legal disputes are settled, and where girls are bartered to settle family disputes and a man who kills his wife can expect a fine.
In April 2011 the Afghan Government sought to reintroduce public morality laws, regulation was drafted to impose wedding codes to ensure that brides were modestly dressed, to ban music at weddings and to prevent male and female guests mixing. Shops were to be fined for selling inappropriate wedding clothes.
That caused consternation among owners of Kabul's kitsch wedding halls. But Afghan's wealthy are unlikely to be around much longer. The boom is over, the exodus has started, and property prices are dropping as houses empty of foreign agencies and wealthier Afghans.
Outside Kabul, in Balkh Province where the Taleban is gaining strength, signs of its influence are everywhere.
Few women in Mazar-i-Sharif travel without a burqa - last year the religious council of the Blue Mosque, one of the few places where women are able to socialise in public, banned women from its weekly meetings.
Next year will bring elections and a powerful network of conservative men; Taleban and warlords are edging into the gap the international community will leave.
The businesswoman
A large desk puts space between Zarghona Walizada and her visitors. Beneath her chair are two large stones, her second line of defence. "I keep them close to my hands," she says. Her office in a suburb of Kabul - where she runs her own freight firm - is no longer a safe place.
"They came in cars with windows blacked out," she says. "My assistant tried to lock the doors, but these men with scarves around their faces came up the stairs with guns and broke down the door. I sat here behind my desk and stayed calm. I offered them tea, but I had my stones ready.
"They threatened me and demanded why I was not at home ... I thought they might shoot me, but finally they left. They'll be back."
On the wall is a newspaper cutting, a report of a speech by a UN official citing Walizada as an example of how women are forging ahead in Afghanistan. But Walizada is the exception. "Women are encouraged by the US and the UN and the UK to make handicrafts, not to make business.
"The US army has contracts but gives them only to the corrupt politicians." A widow, she trusts only "my driver, my brother and my sister".
The doctor
Dr Qumar Frahmand, 40, is the head of a busy public clinic for women and children in Balkh Province. She sees 35 to 40 patients a day. "The situation has been getting better all the time because of the international NGOs coming in, and access to family planning, and vaccination for children has improved. But we still have a big problem with malnutrition because of poverty and ignorance.
"In the past 10 years, women have started to come out of their houses and see that having fewer children could mean a better life. Before, if a woman didn't have a boy she would keep having babies until she did.
"But will it all slip back? There is so much uncertainty, insecurity and rising unemployment, and the big thing I'm seeing is a rise in domestic violence. We worry where we will find the money to keep the clinic going when the troops leave, and I cannot think what will happen if these clinic doors have to close."
The MP
A mother of two teenage daughters, Fawzia Koofi, 36, has been MP for Badakhshan Province for seven years, and recently announced her intention to stand as a presidential candidate next year. Her husband died in a Taleban prison. Her father was killed by mujahaideen during the civil war. The seventh daughter, as a newborn she was left out in the sun to die before her parents relented.
If it hadn't been for the Taleban, Koofi would be a doctor now. "I was studying medicine when the Taleban came in 1996. That was my last day as a student. All of a sudden I was at home. You can see everything from your window, but you can't taste it, you can't touch it. I felt like a dead body." Today she fears for the security of women in the public eye. '
"The reality has not been what we were promised. There is lip service paid by the Afghan and US governments - gender projects created - but we can't access budgets.
"A few in this nation have come to the understanding that stopping girls' education halts a family's progress. I'm hopeful we will not go back to scratch. But I also know we will suffer - the main victims of the political games will be women and children."
But for women activists, "day by day it becomes more difficult. How many women really make their voices heard? ... There are 18 committees in our Parliament, and I'm the only woman chair."
The family
Medical student Maryam Farid, 20, lost her voice after being caught up in a bomb blast aged 6 and still has a speech impediment. Her father, a university professor, is liberal in allowing his seven daughters to be educated - their mother ran a girls' school in their tiny flat during the Taleban rule - but he has chosen her future specialisation, gynaecology, so she will only work among females.
"Is it what I want to do?" asks Farid. "Maybe not. But there is no choice, and I have accepted that."
Farid studies hard and looks tired. She shares a laptop with her sisters, but internet access is prohibitively expensive for most young Afghans and the computer is mostly used to play educational CDs.
"The boys my age are the worst - they think we should not be studying," she says. "When I go to classes, only half of my energy is spent on my studies because the other 50 per cent is spent in dealing with harassment from the male students."
Farid's mother, Shahla, is a former judge and teaches in the faculty of law and political science at Kabul University. She says that when the foreigners go, Afghan men will fight again. "Our Government doesn't think about women. If I had known this would happen I would have taken another path and not have been an activist. So I'm angry. I am afraid for my daughters, who might be kidnapped or punished for my advocacy work. I've a daughter who begs us every day to leave, but my husband will not. He says we must all love our country."
The engineer
Raihana Karimi is an engineer, like her husband. "But in this country it is shameful for a man to know a colleague's wife's name, so he could not have me working with him. He is happy now that I work among women." In 2008 she joined a programme that trained women as paralegals. Now she runs a safe house for women, directly funded by the US embassy in Mazar-i-Sharif.
"It's usually girls escaping forced marriage or violence - if they run away they can be arrested and go straight to jail. I burned my burqa when the Taleban left; I don't want a new one. I beg the US and the UK, do not leave us. Please stay. We are very vulnerable, we are very afraid."
The teacher
A 28-year-old teacher in a boys' high school in Mazar-i-Sharif, Shekiba Azizi also has three children of her own. She feels uncertainty is allowing a creeping conservatism to dominate women's lives again in Afghanistan.
"Most of the other teachers now wear a burqa. But I hate it. I cannot see out and it's very claustrophobic. To walk to the bus stop I have to pass some warlords' houses, and they have armed guards who shout at me and harass me, so now I have to take a taxi to work, which is expensive.
"The international community has spent a lot of money in Afghanistan, they say, but I have seen no effect on poor people. Now that they are going, we have the right to know our own future. They have to be clear about what is going to happen to us." Observer

Smile at Fear: Awakening the True Heart of Bravery by Chögyam Trungpa begins with this quote:
"When you are frightened by something, you have to relate with fear,
explore why you are frightened, and develop
some sense of conviction. You can actually look at fear. Then
fear ceases to be the dominant situation that is going to defeat
you. Fear can be conquered. You can be free from fear, if you realize
that fear is not the ogre. You can step on fear, and therefore
you can attain what is known as fearlessness. But that requires
that, when you see fear, you smile."
Last year, Smile at Fear was published by Shambhala, and it has resonated with a great number of readers. The idea that we could disarm our fear by smiling at it is a rather outrageous proposal, yet one that seems intriguing. Fear seems to be a topic for our time. Each of us is afraid of something: Afraid of losing our job, afraid our relationships won't last, afraid of dying, afraid of living—afraid of ourselves altogether. What can we do about it? That's the thing!
Chögyam Trungpa spoke and wrote a great deal about fear and fearlessness as well as about working with hope and fear. Pema Chödrön, the popular teacher, author, and Buddhist nun who studied closely with Trungpa Rinpoche, has also given great consideration to these topics. When the book was in the final stages of editing, she concurred with me (I was the book's editor) that Smile at Fear would be a great title for this collection of teachings. She also volunteered to incorporate the material in the book into several forthcoming public programs, mixing it with her own understanding of this topic. She invited me to join her as the meditation teacher for these programs, and this collaboration has been great for the book and for both of us, I think.
Pema's second and final program is scheduled to take place October 15-17 in the Bay Area. The weekend will be held at the Craneway Pavilion overlooking San Francisco Bay in the Marina District of Richmond. With its beautiful waterfront views, the pavilion will provide a great environment for this urban retreat.
You can read more about the program and register for it at SmileatFear.com.
The weekend is almost sold out, but Shambhala Publications and the Northern California Shambhala Center want you to have a chance to be there. They're giving away one ticket for all 3 days to one lucky reader of this blog. You have to get yourself there—they aren't covering travel expenses—but this is still a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the teachings from this book.
How do you enter? Simply share your answer to this question with us: What do you think it means to smile at fear? Leave a comment below telling us and be entered to win a free ticket to this rare weekend retreat with Pema Chödrön's. Travel expenses, again, are not included.
The winner will be selected by random draw on Monday August, 9.
Congratulations to entrant #501!
I hope to see many of you there. Pema has so much to offer us, and this dynamic combination of her radiant and incisive teachings with those of the grand master of fear and fearlessness, Chögyam Trungpa, promises to be a powerful experience for all. When you bring a community of people together who share the willingness to open deeply to themselves and one another, the atmosphere and the effect are unpredictable but undoubtedly worthwhile. I look forward to smiling with you.

I notice that Ruger offers a "Tactical" Mini-15. The main thing that I notice is that it is equipped with a muzzle break/flash suppressor. Is this realy a necessity on any gun that fires the .223/5.56? I don't notice any really bad recoil. But, I do notice the ear-splitting muzzle blast. Of course, now that my hearing is bad, I always use ear muffs and/or plugs when I shoot. I recommend that to every shooter-every time!
And, I think the flash would only be a problem in the darkness. And, I don't know how much of that I will do. So, I think I will use my Mini-no flash suppressor-just as it came from the factory.
Any differing opinions?

I bought the Lego Ideas Book, by Daniel Lipkowitz, online a little while ago. It is a manual to inspire you to create Lego ideas of your own. It does not
"show building steps or brick lists because it's unlikely you will have all the bricks for each model."
Instead, each page shows detailed views of models from different angles, building tips and tricks for each model and suggestions that will help you make your own similar style model. There are also pages (like the one pictured) that suggest pieces that are especially useful for building particular types of models.
It is a wonderful resource for encouraging kids to think of other ways to use the Lego pieces that they have. For example, we have a Lego Kingdoms castle and catapult. There is a section of the book – In Days of Old - which takes pieces from these sets and shows other castles, traps, wagons and siege weapons, that could be built with the sorts of pieces you get in these Lego sets.
B was inspired by the Planes, Trains and Automobiles section to build this …
and when we saw the minifigure display ideas
we thought we should build something to display our minifigures …
Since it is that time of year again (Christmas, that is) I would have to recommend this a fabulous gift idea for Lego enthusiasts.
If you are looking for other Lego building inspiration, you might want to visit my list of Lego building challenges.
What has your child build with Lego lately?

Whether you are looking for traditional or modern restaurants, shopping, nightlife, beach, walk on the beach or cultural tours, everything is within walking distance!
You'll find close by many renting car agencies along with several public stations of the city hall for renting bikes and cars (the so-called "vélos et autos bleus"). In addition, because the main avenue is well served, visiting all our magnificent Nice and its beautiful surroundings (the extravagant Monaco, the luxurious Cannes, the authentic Antibes, the charming Grasse, the Italian border etc. ..) by train, car, tram or bus, is nice and easy!
Discover our charming neighborhood and our splendid city under the sun rays that daily offers the French Riviera. We rent several apartments in Nice and are very responsive to our guests questions.

nice apartment, great localisation, everything excellent!!! highly recommended!!!
Wonderful, modern appartment. Easy to find from description by the guy who gave us the keys. Shops, restaurants and city center nearby. With Windows closed, you don't hear the traffic outside the window. Clean street with no cars, just the tramway. We had a very pleasant stay.
The appartement is beautiful and clean. The price is very nice. The organisation is uncomplicated and friendly.
Great apartment. Nice and uncomplicated contact. Highly recommended.
The apartment is very nice and clean, and there was everything we needed. The location of the apartment was perfect for us, close to everything, including restaurants and bars. They have even included a welcome folder, where they recommend what to see, and where to eat and so on. We missed one set of towels on our arrival, but we texted them, and they were delivered soon after. All in all a great place I will recommend.
The room was good but small and quite durty and definetely not 30 mх2 as was proposed. Also, we found out beg-bugs there. We sms-ed Salvatory and he moved us to the another room without any extra-payment the same day. The new apartment was wonderful - big and nice.
There is only one word: perfect!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Was a wonderfull, good located Location to Stay and the Host was very friendly !
It seemed all to easy. The price was right, the apartment was spacy, realy nice and confortable. It was perfectly in the middle of the storic centre. And what was so easy: on our departure, we could just leave our keys of the appartment on the table. Great. We'll be back soon !!!

I am working on my 1st scratch Helmet build. I am using the WOF templates and Antman's tutorial was of
Great help! I am fairly far along as you will see from my pic. I'm working ear pieces atm I have 1 done and have 1 more to go. And still have the key slot to build as well.
This bucket was originally gonna be for me but it is a tad small my nose is smashed up against the visor area. So it will be for my oldest son for Halloween.
Has anyone tried to duplicate Antman's "mayan temple" method for the ears of the helmet? I tried and didn't have
much luck so I used apoxie sculpt on the 1st one. If anyone has tried it and can offer up some advice on how to do it successfully That would be great.

Beautiful pool and beach area. Property is large and takes some effort to get from your villa to the beach (up and down some small hills/stairs). Pludge pool is really fun to have and offers privacy. Bathroom in my room was not air conditioned, but gives you the opportunity to look at the stars while showering.

Re: Ready, Set, Cook Discussion Thread
Its a new year and I wondered about restarting the Ready set cook thread. I know I have become a little lazy over the last few months - allways meaning to do the challenge but ......., but this year I promise to try harder (it will do me good )
What does every one think, I don't mine posting the monthly challenge if that helps ( though ideas would be greatfully recieved ) Staying with the idea of two indgredients and / or a dish.
How about starting with a cupboard clean for the new year
January 2013
We all have something hiding at the back of the cupboard - that impulse buy that didn't get used / something left from Christmas.
This months challenge is to clean out that larder and confess to those unwanted items then select two get cooking and give them a new lease of life.
I know I have 2 jars of mincemeat that need using, as well as a huge piece of blue cheese.
Whilst with the cheese, I loooove cheese cake, but haven't made one for years, and have never made a baked cheesecake. So with that in mind this month shall be the cheesecake - sweet/savoury baked/unbaked your choice.
So come on every one, lets inspire each other to get cooking new ideas for 2013

We stayed in Paris at Marie's apartment and it was vey nice. It's close to the subway station and many stores and restaurants. The apartment was clean and comfortable with a kitchen with pots and pans. We arrive a little late and she was very nice waiting for us to show us the place and give us the key. It is big enough for 4 people two adults and two children. The Wifi worked really good and if she would add a TV to the place will be even better. I will not hesitate to recommend this apartment.
Friendly hosts. Charming and pretty house. Convenient transportation home. We both liked. But is a little inconvenient noise as the house next to the road where you can feel the friendly and free Paris.
친절한 호스트. 아기자기하고 예쁜 집.교통이 편리한 집. 모두 좋았습니다. 도로 옆이라 조금의 소음이 아쉬웠지만 친절하고 자유로운 파리를 느낄 수 있는 집입니다.
we arrived in Paris at night and Marie was there waiting for us. She help us with the luggages and show us around the apartment. She tell us where we can get good food and where the metro and bike rental. she supplies us with really useful maps. we were offer drinks on arrival and Marie is wonderful host and make us feel really welcome. the place is very clean but the kitchen is slightly small but adequate.The area is safe and quiet. we really enjoyed our stay there. Thank you Marie for your hospitality and letting us stay at your place. Merci beacoup!
We had a wonderful time in Paris and Maries apartment was perfect for us, two adults and two teenage daughters. Thank you for the warm welcome and the possibility to contact you if we had any questions! The neighborhood was nice and calm, close to the metro! We will be back!
We are a couple with two children that stayed at Marie´s apartment. The experience was great! To start with Marie is very nice, she even helped us with some tourism tips and made our arrival very pleasant (after driving for 6 hours). The apartment is cosy and has a lot of light! It was very clean as well (we are particularly picky with that). There is a metro very close that takes you directly to the Eiffel Tower and a parking 100 meters away. We will repeat as soon as we can!
A wonderful and cozy apartment with everything you need. It's not far to walk to the eiffeltower, 10 minutes when you know how to walk. The area itself where the apartment is situated is not the funniest or most beautiful but its near to stores bakeries and resturants. Its also close to the metro station. Marie is a fantastic host and will help you with all your questions. When we arrived the first day she had bought baguettes and some other nice bakeries to me and my family. I really recommend to rent this apartment from Marie, and I would definitely go back here for my next visit in Paris!

Very nice host and great apartment for self catering in a nice neighbourhood with great bakeries, biofood stores, butcher, fresh seafood and fish nearby ... not touristic at all, however, perfect location to explore Paris by foot or metro and in walking distance to the Eiffel tower. An additional plus: The flat has a lot of day light. We stayed there with two adults and a kid and found it spacious enough with everything we needed for a four-days-stay. I am looking forward to come back.
Great location, pay parking is available across the street, lovely bathroom but good for 2 persons only. Tends to be loud until midnight because it is in a very busy district. Kitchen is just for making coffee--too small for those who want to cook.
Lovely spacious place, very near metro station Cambronne. Near the Eiffeltour.
Appartment is located up on the first floor (only one stairs to climb). Room has lots of windows (with screens), a kitchen, a separate bedroom and a separate bathroom - with bath!
There is not much more luxurious in Paris than getting in a bath after a day of walking/shopping/sightseeing. Free wifi available. Supermarkets are nearby.
I would love to stay here again.
Host is friendly and easy to get in contact with.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Dear Sirs,
we have found an apartment clean but with smell outside and inside the apartment.
We are extremely sorry for this .
Best regards
Good point as follows,
kitchen, big refrigerator, silent.
Bad point as follows,
elvator and washmachine were broken.
Next time, we will be back this apartment.
the apartment is very central and has everything you need.I enjoyed my stay. I hope to return again. Thank you so much !
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I liked it! Recommend it uniquely. It`s very clean and nice apartment. The only nuance – there is no free space in closets.
The apartment was clean, although not as great as described but it was enough. The landlady was very rude and they wanted to throw us out on the first night unfounded.
But but has most disturbed us that the owner every day at home were, so we always had to block and hide our valuables.
Die Wohnung war sauber, zwar nicht so groß wie beschrieben aber es hat gereicht. Die Vermieterin war sehr unfreundlich und sie wollten uns am ersten Abend unbegründet rausschmeißen.
Aber am meisten gestört hat uns aber das die Vermieter jeden Tag in Wohnung waren, deshalb mussten wir unsere Wertgegenstände immer versperren und verstecken.
Everything great. Ideal for visitors.
After a short walk, you also have a good connection in the
Central Hanover.
Alles SUPER. Optimal für Messebesucher.
Nach kurzem Fußweg hat man auch eine gute Verbindung in das
Zentrum von Hannover.
I can only recommend! Super nice owner, great location just off the S-Bahn, not far to the fair, beautiful well-kept apartment, 1a breakfast. Just Great !!! In a **** hotel can not be better living ;-)
Kann man nur weiterempfehlen! Super nette vermieter, tolle Lage gleich neben der S-Bahn, nicht weit zur Messe, schöne gepflegte Wohnung, 1a Frühstück . Einfach Spitze !!! In einem **** Hotel kann man nicht besser Wohnen ;-)

You know, the most troubling fact of this whole story to me is that there was 21 SS agents and 21 hookers. Most likely this means that there was a 1:1 ratio agents to hookers. This is very concerning to me as a Apparently none of the agents took advantage of their one opportunity to 'double up' and get a ménage a trios. WTF is going on?

A recipe contest challenges kids to create healthy meals
Are you a kid who enjoys cooking? Would you like to visit the White House? There's a contest just for you!
For the second year in a row, First Lady Michelle Obama is hosting the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. The contest asks kids ages 8 to 12 and their guardians to submit original lunch recipes that are nutritious, delicious and affordable. One winner from each of the 50 states, plus the U.S. territories, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, will be invited to attend the Kids' State Dinner at the White House, where winning recipes will be served.
The First Lady announced the contest this week as part of her Let's Move! campaign. "Last year's young chefs impressed and inspired me with their creativity, and I can't wait to welcome a whole new group to the White House this summer and taste their creations," she said in an announcement. "So kids, let's get cooking!"
Last year, more than 1,200 kids entered the contest. The 54 finalists enjoyed a three-course meal in the White House's East Room, where fancy parties are thrown. Winning dishes included a fiesta casserole from Idaho, a rainbow salad from Colorado and a yummy summer soup from Alabama. Now the question is, will any of last year's winners be back for seconds?
What's in a Winning Meal?
The goal of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge is to put together a collection of healthy recipes written by kids, for kids. The contest is a partnership between the White House, the departments of Education and Agriculture and the recipe website Epicurious.
Contest judges will look for lunches that are healthy, tasty and affordable. Meals should have items from each of the food groups, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, protein and low-fat dairy products. The foods can be combined into one recipe or used to create a meal that includes a main dish and side dishes.
Tanya Steel is the Editor-In-Chief of Epicurious. Last year, she helped choose the winning recipes. Her advice for kids? "Be imaginative and creative and think seasonally!" she told TFK. "You don't need to be complicated. The most important thing is to have fun!"
For ideas about how to prepare healthy meals, visit choosemyplate.gov.
Then enter the contest at recipechallenge.epicurious.com. The deadline is May 12.

Repositories and Branches Manual Page
How to get a Git repository
It will be useful to have a Git repository to experiment with as you read this manual.
The best way to get one is by using the git-clone(1) command to download a copy of an existing repository. If you don't already have a project in mind, here are some interesting examples:
# Git itself (approx. 40MB download): $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git # the Linux kernel (approx. 640MB download): $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
The initial clone may be time-consuming for a large project, but you will only need to clone once.
The clone command creates a new directory named after the project (git or linux in the examples above). After you cd into this directory, you will see that it contains a copy of the project files, called the working tree, together with a special top-level directory named .git, which contains all the information about the history of the project.
How to check out a different version of a project
Git is best thought of as a tool for storing the history of a collection of files. It stores the history as a compressed collection of interrelated snapshots of the project's contents. In Git each such version is called a commit.
Those snapshots aren't necessarily all arranged in a single line from oldest to newest; instead, work may simultaneously proceed along parallel lines of development, called branches, which may merge and diverge.
A single Git repository can track development on multiple branches. It does this by keeping a list of heads which reference the latest commit on each branch; the git-branch(1) command shows you the list of branch heads:
$ git branch * master
A freshly cloned repository contains a single branch head, by default named "master", with the working directory initialized to the state of the project referred to by that branch head.
Most projects also use tags. Tags, like heads, are references into the project's history, and can be listed using the git-tag(1) command:
$ git tag -l v2.6.11 v2.6.11-tree v2.6.12 v2.6.12-rc2 v2.6.12-rc3 v2.6.12-rc4 v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc6 v2.6.13 ...
Tags are expected to always point at the same version of a project, while heads are expected to advance as development progresses.
Create a new branch head pointing to one of these versions and check it out using git-checkout(1):
$ git checkout -b new v2.6.13
The working directory then reflects the contents that the project had when it was tagged v2.6.13, and git-branch(1) shows two branches, with an asterisk marking the currently checked-out branch:
$ git branch master * new
If you decide that you'd rather see version 2.6.17, you can modify the current branch to point at v2.6.17 instead, with
$ git reset --hard v2.6.17
Note that if the current branch head was your only reference to a particular point in history, then resetting that branch may leave you with no way to find the history it used to point to; so use this command carefully.
Understanding History: Commits
Every change in the history of a project is represented by a commit. The git-show(1) command shows the most recent commit on the current branch:
$ git show commit 17cf781661e6d38f737f15f53ab552f1e95960d7 Author: Linus Torvalds <email@example.com.(none)> Date: Tue Apr 19 14:11:06 2005 -0700 Remove duplicate getenv(DB_ENVIRONMENT) call Noted by Tony Luck. diff --git a/init-db.c b/init-db.c index 65898fa..b002dc6 100644 --- a/init-db.c +++ b/init-db.c @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { - char *sha1_dir = getenv(DB_ENVIRONMENT), *path; + char *sha1_dir, *path; int len, i; if (mkdir(".git", 0755) < 0) {
As you can see, a commit shows who made the latest change, what they did, and why.
Every commit has a 40-hexdigit id, sometimes called the "object name" or the "SHA-1 id", shown on the first line of the git show output. You can usually refer to a commit by a shorter name, such as a tag or a branch name, but this longer name can also be useful. Most importantly, it is a globally unique name for this commit: so if you tell somebody else the object name (for example in email), then you are guaranteed that name will refer to the same commit in their repository that it does in yours (assuming their repository has that commit at all). Since the object name is computed as a hash over the contents of the commit, you are guaranteed that the commit can never change without its name also changing.
In fact, in we shall see that everything stored in Git history, including file data and directory contents, is stored in an object with a name that is a hash of its contents.
Understanding history: commits, parents, and reachability
Every commit (except the very first commit in a project) also has a parent commit which shows what happened before this commit. Following the chain of parents will eventually take you back to the beginning of the project.
However, the commits do not form a simple list; Git allows lines of development to diverge and then reconverge, and the point where two lines of development reconverge is called a "merge". The commit representing a merge can therefore have more than one parent, with each parent representing the most recent commit on one of the lines of development leading to that point.
The best way to see how this works is using the gitk(1) command; running gitk now on a Git repository and looking for merge commits will help understand how Git organizes history.
In the following, we say that commit X is "reachable" from commit Y if commit X is an ancestor of commit Y. Equivalently, you could say that Y is a descendant of X, or that there is a chain of parents leading from commit Y to commit X.
Understanding history: History diagrams
We will sometimes represent Git history using diagrams like the one below. Commits are shown as "o", and the links between them with lines drawn with - / and \. Time goes left to right:
o--o--o <-- Branch A / o--o--o <-- master \ o--o--o <-- Branch B
If we need to talk about a particular commit, the character "o" may be replaced with another letter or number.
Understanding history: What is a branch?
When we need to be precise, we will use the word "branch" to mean a line of development, and "branch head" (or just "head") to mean a reference to the most recent commit on a branch. In the example above, the branch head named "A" is a pointer to one particular commit, but we refer to the line of three commits leading up to that point as all being part of "branch A".
However, when no confusion will result, we often just use the term "branch" both for branches and for branch heads.
Manipulating branches
Creating, deleting, and modifying branches is quick and easy; here's a summary of the commands:
- git branch
list all branches.
- git branch <branch>
create a new branch named <branch>, referencing the same point in history as the current branch.
- git branch <branch> <start-point>
create a new branch named <branch>, referencing <start-point>, which may be specified any way you like, including using a branch name or a tag name.
- git branch -d <branch>
delete the branch <branch>; if the branch is not fully merged in its upstream branch or contained in the current branch, this command will fail with a warning.
- git branch -D <branch>
delete the branch <branch> irrespective of its merged status.
- git checkout <branch>
make the current branch <branch>, updating the working directory to reflect the version referenced by <branch>.
- git checkout -b <new> <start-point>
create a new branch <new> referencing <start-point>, and check it out.
The special symbol "HEAD" can always be used to refer to the current branch. In fact, Git uses a file named HEAD in the .git directory to remember which branch is current:
$ cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/master
Examining an old version without creating a new branch
The git checkout command normally expects a branch head, but will also accept an arbitrary commit; for example, you can check out the commit referenced by a tag:
$ git checkout v2.6.17 Note: checking out 'v2.6.17'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b new_branch_name HEAD is now at 427abfa... Linux v2.6.17
The HEAD then refers to the SHA-1 of the commit instead of to a branch, and git branch shows that you are no longer on a branch:
$ cat .git/HEAD 427abfa28afedffadfca9dd8b067eb6d36bac53f $ git branch * (detached from v2.6.17) master
In this case we say that the HEAD is "detached".
This is an easy way to check out a particular version without having to make up a name for the new branch. You can still create a new branch (or tag) for this version later if you decide to.
Examining branches from a remote repository
The "master" branch that was created at the time you cloned is a copy of the HEAD in the repository that you cloned from. That repository may also have had other branches, though, and your local repository keeps branches which track each of those remote branches, called remote-tracking branches, which you can view using the -r option to git-branch(1):
$ git branch -r origin/HEAD origin/html origin/maint origin/man origin/master origin/next origin/pu origin/todo
In this example, "origin" is called a remote repository, or "remote" for short. The branches of this repository are called "remote branches" from our point of view. The remote-tracking branches listed above were created based on the remote branches at clone time and will be updated by git fetch (hence git pull) and git push. See [Updating-a-repository-With-git-fetch] for details.
You might want to build on one of these remote-tracking branches on a branch of your own, just as you would for a tag:
$ git checkout -b my-todo-copy origin/todo
You can also check out origin/todo directly to examine it or write a one-off patch. See detached head.
Note that the name "origin" is just the name that Git uses by default to refer to the repository that you cloned from.
Naming branches, tags, and other references
Branches, remote-tracking branches, and tags are all references to commits. All references are named with a slash-separated path name starting with refs; the names we've been using so far are actually shorthand:
The branch test is short for refs/heads/test.
The tag v2.6.18 is short for refs/tags/v2.6.18.
origin/master is short for refs/remotes/origin/master.
The full name is occasionally useful if, for example, there ever exists a tag and a branch with the same name.
(Newly created refs are actually stored in the .git/refs directory, under the path given by their name. However, for efficiency reasons they may also be packed together in a single file; see git-pack-refs(1)).
As another useful shortcut, the "HEAD" of a repository can be referred to just using the name of that repository. So, for example, "origin" is usually a shortcut for the HEAD branch in the repository "origin".
For the complete list of paths which Git checks for references, and the order it uses to decide which to choose when there are multiple references with the same shorthand name, see the "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section of gitrevisions(7).
Updating a repository with git fetch
Eventually the developer cloned from will do additional work in her repository, creating new commits and advancing the branches to point at the new commits.
The command git fetch, with no arguments, will update all of the remote-tracking branches to the latest version found in her repository. It will not touch any of your own branches--not even the "master" branch that was created for you on clone.
Fetching branches from other repositories
You can also track branches from repositories other than the one you cloned from, using git-remote(1):
$ git remote add staging git://git.kernel.org/.../gregkh/staging.git $ git fetch staging ... From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging * [new branch] master -> staging/master * [new branch] staging-linus -> staging/staging-linus * [new branch] staging-next -> staging/staging-next
New remote-tracking branches will be stored under the shorthand name that you gave git remote add, in this case staging:
$ git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master staging/master staging/staging-linus staging/staging-next
If you run git fetch <remote> later, the remote-tracking branches for the named <remote> will be updated.
If you examine the file .git/config, you will see that Git has added a new stanza:
$ cat .git/config ... [remote "staging"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/staging/* ...
This is what causes Git to track the remote's branches; you may modify or delete these configuration options by editing .git/config with a text editor. (See the "CONFIGURATION FILE" section of git-config(1) for details.)

Here is a good one....
I was out winterizing an apiary last week when I needed to turn my truck around along a field. So I drove a little further on the dirt path than normal, due to the rain and mud. I then noticed some old looking hive boxes at the edge of the hedge row. Walking over and remembering that this particular farmer had kept bees at one time, I looked a little closer thinking it may of been abandoned equipment. I was surprised and excited when one of the hives was active with bees. My first thought was that a swarm had taken up residency in the old equipment.
As I was working on my hives the farmer approached and I mentioned about the old hives and the bees. This is where it got good. He says "Me and my boy caught a swarm and since we had some old equipment in the barn, we caught it and decided to keep it." He had no plans on informing me and if I didn't see them I'm sure he would of said nothing.
I asked where the swarm was caught. He said it was on a bush (Within 100 ft.) of my hives. But he was certain it couldn't be from my hives. I asked where the nearest apiary was. He had no answer.
I informed him that although he paid for pollination services, and allowed me to leave the bees there at my convenience, notification of myself was needed to ensure proper management and allowed me to keep my prices reasonable by replacing hive loss through catching swarms instead of buying packages, etc. I also informed him that I would be back Saturday to pull my hives as I would never keep bees in a location with someone elses bees. His equipment was nasty and I mentioned there was no way to ensure his equipment was desease free. Afterall, he lost his hives several years ago to mites/desease.
I guess he thought catching my swarms to build up his apiary was his right.
This past Saturday he met me at 6 a.m. as I loaded the bees. He mentioned that the swarm was mine if I thought I could use them. He also asked if I would be back in the spring as I mentioned that I normally centralize my hives over winter for ease of control. Knowing that I was on his property WITHOUT a contract, I said I'd give him a call.
Bottom line is this. He is the proud owner of a swarm that will be dead by spring. And he will also be looking for a new beekeeper.

text: As the title says, I got my new tires installed on my 2011 1500! I went with a set of Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/55/20s, and thus far, I couldn't be happier. There is very little road noise (obviously more compared to the stock tire, but nothing obnoxious), they handle great, and they look absolutely amazing. The pictures don't do them justice. Thanks to Big Ben's Tires in Sand Lake, MI for getting them for me!
