While its members (and the rest of the 99 percent) wait to see about how OccupyMaine fares in court — and in possible multiple rounds of appeals and requests for reconsideration — they're not resting on their pallets and sleeping mats. After the lawsuit was filed, OccupyMaine's outward-looking activist efforts stepped up noticeably, with several rallies and events, including screening an inspirational film about the Arab Spring, supporting clean air and peace on Earth, attending a ceremony remembering homeless people who have died, and continuing the weekly series of community discussions and potluck meals.
In Augusta and elsewhere around the state, Occupiers no longer in encampments are planning how to approach lawmakers when the Legislature comes back into session. And nationally, the movement is retooling as well, with possible futures ranging from spreading the movement across the nation (in the style of Spain's indignados), continued General Assemblies (like in Boston), official recognition (such as Portland Mayor Mike Brennan's offer to create a mayoral task force reviewing issues Occupy has brought to the fore), and continued spotlighting of human-services needs (as seen in the OccupyMaine meetings with Portland officials that resulted in housing for several homeless protesters). Around the country there have been Occupy actions protesting foreclosures; look for something along that line to happen locally too. There's even a suggestion (from former Wall Street regulator Eliot Spitzer) that the slogan change to We Own Wall Street, and that efforts shift to shareholder activism by the millions of Americans who own mutual funds, retirement accounts, and other investments — with the goal of demanding that corporate officials respond to not just the needs of our democracy, but also of their real owners, the American people.
We'll also see how the Occupy message and its larger philosophies affect the 2012 presidential race. President Obama has already issued some 99-percenter rhetoric, and GOP candidates are struggling to respond to their financial backers and their voters, who have never seemed to overlap less. Closer to home, the Occupy movement appears ineffective in penetrating Governor LePage's single-minded neoconservative agenda, but it remains to be seen whether state Republicans in a legislative election year will stick with him or shift left with their constituents.
Statewide elections
Lots of attention will be focused on the presidential election, but Maine will be inundated with local campaigns too. State legislators are up for re-election, giving voters the chance to repudiate or affirm two years of conservative majority rule in Augusta.
In addition, two Democrats and two Tea Partiers have announced plans to challenge US Senate veteran Olympia Snowe, the (sometimes) moderate Republican who has served in Congress since 1973. Former Maine secretary of state Matt Dunlap, of Old Town, will run against Portland state representative and attorney Jon Hinck in a Democratic primary.
"The lens from which I'm approaching the race is: greater respect and support for the American middle class," Hinck said, adding that Snowe has been "glaringly weak" on issues that affect the 99 percent.

Fish Creek Management Plan
The Fish Creek Management Plan was developed jointly by staff from Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. It is the product of almost three years of work by these and other agencies, local governments, interest groups, and the public. It substantially revises a plan adopted jointly by the Borough and the State in 1984. The plan directs actions of the DNR with respect to the management of state land, and actions of the Borough with respect to Borough-owned land. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly adopted the plan by ordinance on September 13, 2009. The Commissioner adopted the same version of the plan that was adopted by the Borough Assembly on June 29, 2010.
The plan affects approximately 43,302 acres of which 14,859 acres are state-owned land managed by DNR. The area is located approximately between the Susitna River and the Little Susitna River. It is immediately south of the Nancy Lakes Recreation area and north of the Susitna Flats State Game Refuge.

Hello Ladies and Gents-
Glad to be a new member to this forum and appreciate the constructive discussions that take place here. This season will be my maiden voyage in beekeeping. My original interest was spawned by poor pollination in my 1/4 acre vegetable garden and has grown from there.
Anyway I thought you all may be interested in some photos of the top bar hive I'm constructing. http://tinyurl.com/6xp4w
It's not finished yet but you can get the idea. Simplicity of construction, low cost and easy of handling are the main reasons I chose a TBH. The hive body is 48" long and will hold 32, 1-1/2" bars. The body itself is constructed of the plastic cardboard material called Corroplast, actually I recycled a bunch of old campaign signs made of the material. I've found all sorts of uses for the stuff. The hive body is almost 12" deep and 1'-4" wide with 22.5 deg sides. I plan on installing a removable grid towards the bottom to limit comb depth to 9" and provide an open area for the bees.
At this point I'm still trying to come up with a reliable feeder design that will allow for adding syrup without removing any bars. I'm trying to figure out how to use an air pressure principal based feeder, similar to jar feeder or entrance feeder that will replace a top bar.
I've got 3lbs of Cordovan Italians ordered from Buckeye Bee in Ohio so I need to get this project finished up to be ready.
Any feedback offered will be appreciated.


text:
I have been using those plastic feed bags for inner covers, but I'm short on those and have a bunch of nice burlap coffee sacks. I also don't love the way the plastic stuff gets 'stringy' and you end up contributing plastic shreds to the yard. If I could use burlap, any that get too shaggy can go right into the smoker.
Has anyone tried burlap for an inner cover, or would the bees chew it up? Or perhaps there's another reason not to use it.
I've also thought about using canvass, so any thoughts on that could help too...

Do you know how to prioritize tasks and work on a number of different projects at once? Will you use your time on the job wisely?
Time management is a set of principles, practices, skills, tools, and systems working together to help you get more value out of your time with the aim of improving the quality of your life.
The important point is that time management is not necessarily about getting lots of stuff done, because much more important than that is making sure that you are working on the right things, the things that truly need to be done. Smart time managers know that there is much more to do than anyone could possibly accomplish. So instead of trying to do it all, smart time managers are very picky about how they spend their time.[1]
All time management skills are learnable. More than likely you will see much improvement from simply becoming aware of the essence and causes of common personal time management problems. Visit these time management lesson links to see which techniques are most relevant for your situation:
Especially in today's technologically based world, using the latest technology can put you ahead of your competition quickly. Visit this article to learn about 15 time management tools and apps that are currently available and highly recommended.[12]

Northern California's Unsung Sweet Spot
Lakeport English Inn • Lakeport, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Fridays ($139) or Saturdays ($179) with a Three-Course Traditional English Breakfast for Two
- Complimentary Wine Tastings at Seven Area Wineries
- Two Glasses of Guinness, Specialty Guinness Brownies, and Homemade Guinness Ice Cream
- 4 p.m. Tea and Scones
Set on the banks of California's largest freshwater lake, and surrounded by Northern California's lesser-known wine regions, the town of Lakeport has long been overshadowed by Tahoe to the east and Napa and Sonoma to the south. But why?
Lake County's oldest town, established in 1855, boasts much of the allure of its guidebook-friendly neighbors. Just ask Karan and Hugh Mackey, proprietors of Lakeport English Inn, whose choice locale about 500 feet from the lake is just the beginning of the perks you'll encounter on this week's Escape.
Dive in on a one-night stay for two, Sundays through Fridays ($139) or Saturdays ($179), and get a traditional English breakfast for two, a wine tasting pass to seven area wineries, two glasses of Guinness, two specialty Guinness brownies with homemade Guinness ice cream, and 4 p.m. tea and scones.
Your hosts take their British heritage seriously; if you don't feel it in the gantlet of Guinness, you'll definitely feel it in their warm, aim-to-please hospitality. Check in to one of four rooms—the Napoleon, Scots Room, Elizabeth One, or Kensington—at this ten-room bed and breakfast built in 1875. Each is adorned with Victorian furniture, some feature Jacuzzi tubs while others boast balconies, and all come with king beds—except Elizabeth One, 'cause she's a queen, natch.
And your three-course breakfast? That begins with coffee, tea, juice, and granola, then moves on to fresh fruit smothered in Rebecca sauce (think Grand Marnier). For the homemade main course, expect the likes of eggs Benedict or a Spanish frittata.
Eat up! Your wine pass affords complimentary tastings at each of seven wineries around the lake (Ceàgo Vinegarden, Vigilance Winery & Vineyards, Shannon Ridge, Wildhurst Vineyards, Steele Wines, Chacewater Wines, Rosa d'Oro Winery), none more than 40 minutes from Lakeport.
And with Mendocino National Forest to the north—the state's only such wilderness area left unsullied by paved roads—and more than 100 miles of Clear Lake shoreline just a stone's skip away, there's no shortage of away-from-it-all fun in this unsung gem of a town.
Just be sure you keep it to yourself, lest the masses latch on and turn this stretch of Highway 29 into Silverado Trail's sequel.
"What we found was absolute perfection: Karan, the perfect hostess (warm, funny, and caring), the perfect inn (quaint but roomy, impressive but comfortable...), and the perfect ambiance (pub quiz, English garden, all things Britannia)."-- BedandBreakfast.com

New Member Looking for UK and Canadian EH-Netters
I'm currently a data manager but over the last 15 or so years i've done a bit of everything though i'm weak on the programming side of things (done some html and php only).
Been playing with various flavours of linux over the last few years and discovered Backtrack just over a year ago. Still exploring the features of that!
Managed to talk work into sending me on a few courses but the skinflints wouldn't let me do the exams :-[ though i've managed to sneak of and get my N+ and hope to pass my CCNA soon
The security side has always facinated me but i've not been in a position to take the plunge. Within the next 2 years I will be in a good position to go for it (with my 6 months emergency fund as well).
I am likely to have a lot of questions once i've finished going through the offerings on this site and I hope you guys will be able to point me in the right direction for the answers?
My first question is are there any UK and canadian members out there as I need advice about those countries?

Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII
my step-dad had the first year MarkVIII. He went through three engines before getting rid of it at 30000 miles. And two transmissions. And three sets of something or other for the air ride suspension. And three sets of front brake rotors. And... well, you get the idea.
The second time he changed the oil, I was there with him. While the car was jacked up, he tried to open the door. It would not. That is some great structural integrity I tell you.
That was the biggest piece of crap car I have seen.
Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII
You can't open the door on a C4 'vette while it's up on a hoist either.
Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII
ETC and ESC get high marks for style, features, and quiet. It really is among the most beautiful and technologically advanced cars of the last 15 years.
But the Mark VIII is an outstanding car to travel a long distance in, especially when the roads get curvy. This summer I put 750 miles on a '93 and fell completely in love with it. 25mpg+, and it carved through the mountains and hills in Oregon with secure handling and supreme comfort for three grown men. 90mph through the bends. The chassis is also more balanced than the Eldorado. What the video says about the ride quality is true.
Riviera needs a wood trim kit to feel warm, but I like the shape of the cockpit otherwise. I'm sure the reliability and fuel economy beat both the Mark and Eldo. I've never driven one.
So for me, I'd enjoy an Eldorado, but the Mark VIII is the one I'd keep."Every American who ever had a dream dreamed of driving a Cadillac."
RIP, JD! You are missed.

Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII (vs. Eldorado)
The Mark VIII is such a nice car but for whatever reason people give it a bad rep. the airbag suspension is a cool setup but when my level ride sensor went out and it jacked the car up and blew the airbags out I just went with a coilover conversion. It was the best $500 I ever spent on the car. I got it with a 1.5" lowering kit and it looked badass! The only problem was it would bottom out on speed bumps. I beat a modded S2000 in my bone stock Mark VIII from a roll and 2 ETC's. Now don't quote me in any way, shape, or form saying that that is the norm but that is just from personal experience. As soon as I got my Mark VIII the first thing I did was give it a tune up and it seemed to make a pretty good difference in the performance of the car. A lot of people don't know how to get the best performance out of the Mark VIII's because they just leave them in drive and you don't get as good of 1/4's out of them. But the Mark VIII (at least the 1st gens) from a 70 mph roll are beasts! I'd put it into 2nd gear and get it up to 70 mph and that thing would take off like a shot! Hell the day I picked it up I beat the FTS from a roll on I-95!

Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII (vs. Eldorado)
Mark VIIIs are good from 70 MPH roll, even the gen II. But My 93 Mark VIII would wipe my 97 Mark VIIIs ass every time. My 93 does have more mods so i guess thats not fair. I will try to get a video of my 93 vs my 97 if I get time.

Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII (vs. Eldorado)
Also I don't, when I drove the 97 ETC, I felt closed in. It didn't have an open feel to it. It also reminded me of my 88 Deville with the box interior.
BTW Every northstar I have test drove, why is the gas pedal so light? It doesn't have any feel to it.

Re: Buick Riviera vs. Lincoln Mark VIII (vs. Eldorado)
I currently own a 99 pullied Rivi with an DIY opened up stock air boxand 131K miles. This is the best car I ever owned, not one squeek or rattle ever and it is rock solid reliable and plows through snow. It would run neck and neck with the couple chipped MK VIIIs I have driven (95 and 97LSC). I also owned a DOHC 4.6L cobra which has a motor similar to the VIII, and nothing sounds better as far as exhaust note.
Northstar ETC would out do both. As far as interriors I prefer the 99 Rivi, they added real wood accents in 98 or 99, and the round retro gauges aremuch nicer than the ETC or lincoln. The only thing the Mk VIII lacked was gauges as mention earlier. Rivis have more leg room in back and a bigger truck and get 25+ mpg.

camp production, measurables..etc
offer lists, size, speed, height, highlight videos, combines, all star games, if they are committed to bama or not, just stuff like that.
what criteria is used in determining the Star rating system and why recruiting websites differ sometimes substantially in the ranking of players.
The ranking system ranks prospects on a numerical scale from 6.1-4.9.
6.1 Franchise Player; considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 25 players overall; deemed to have excellent pro potential; high-major prospect
6.0-5.8 All-American Candidate; high-major prospect; considered one of the nation's top 300 prospects; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team
5.7-5.5 All-Region Selection; considered among the region's top prospects and among the top 750 or so prospects in the country; high-to-mid-major prospect; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team
5.4-5.0 Division I prospect; considered a mid-major prospect; deemed to have limited pro potential but definite Division I prospect; may be more of a role player
4.9 Sleeper; no Rivals.com expert knew much, if anything, about this player; a prospect that only a college coach really knew about
Scout works from the grass roots and then reports up. We have a Team of Scouts around the country including local scouts that work smaller areas that submit their rankings to a regional manager. The regional manager will compile the rankings from the local scouts in his area then submit his compiled list to the National Editors. A final conference call between the regional managers and the national editors results in a compiled list of national rankings.
Rare prospects: 100-90
These players demonstrate rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. These players have all the skills to take over a game and could make a possible impact as true freshmen. They should also push for All-America honors with the potential to have a three-and-out college career with early entry into the NFL draft.
Outstanding prospects: 89-80
These players have the ability to create mismatches versus most opponents and have dominant performances. These players could contribute as a true freshmen and could end up as all-conference or All-America candidates during their college careers and develop into difference-makers over time.
Good prospects: 79-70
These players show flashes of dominance, but not on a consistent basis -- especially when matched up against the top players in the country. Players closer to a 79 rating possess BCS-caliber ability and the potential to be a quality starter or all-conference player. Players closer to a 70 rating are likely non-BCS conference caliber prospects.
Solid prospects: 69-60
These players are overmatched versus the better players in the nation. Their weaknesses will be exposed against top competition, but have the ability to develop into solid contributors at the non-BCS FBS level and could be a quality fit for the FCS level of play.
Prospects: 59-50
Players have some redeeming qualities but are not projected to contribute at the FBS or FCS levels.
Prospects: Not ranked or NR
Evaluations are pending film evaluation. These players will have a grade of "NR" and that means we have not had a chance to fully evaluate the prospect.
247Sports has one of the industry's largest and most recognized national recruiting staffs. Our network of recruiting experts, littered with the "best of the best" from news outlets like Rivals, ESPN and Scout, allows us to combine breaking recruiting news and unbiased player and team rankings with our searchable player database, commitment lists and video highlights of top prospects. 247Sports is home to the industry-generated 247Composite. The 247Composite rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index. The 247Composite Rating is the industry's most comprehensive and unbiased prospect ranking and is also used to generate 247Sports' Team Recruiting Rankings.
247Sports Rating Explanation
Each recruit we evaluate is assigned a numerical rating as well as a star rating. Ratings are determined by our recruiting analysts after countless hours of personal observations, film evaluation, and input from our network of scouts.
Players are first grouped qualitatively with a star rating, then given a numerical rating based on their future potential, and finally ranked according to these numerical ratings.
110 - 101 = Franchise Player. One of the best players to come along in years, if not decades. Odds of having a player in this category every year is slim. This prospect has "can't miss" talent.
100 - 98 = Five-star prospect. One of the top 30 players in the nation. This player has excellent pro-potential and should emerge as one of the best in the country before the end of his career.
97 - 90 = Four-star prospect. One of the top 300 players in the nation. This prospect will be an impact-player for his college team. He is an All-American candidate who displays pro-potential.
89 - 80 = Three-star prospect. One of the top 10% players in the nation. This player will develop into a reliable starter for his college team and is among the best players in his region of the country.
79 - below = Two-star prospect. This player makes up the bulk of Division I rosters. He may have little pro-potential, but is likely to become a role player for his respective school.
247Composite Rating
The 247Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a consensus No. 1 prospect across all services.
The 247Composite Rating is the industry's most comprehensive and unbiased prospect ranking and is also used to generate 247Sports Team Recruiting Rankings.

These day's ,some decades later,, I very much resemble the older,wiser of two fella's from a song by Bobby Bare "The winner" (can find on you tube).
Song is old like me.
Were you guys scared when you went to Jr High?

|A kid your age that wants to be a lawyer...
Well. I don't really run away from them because they would just keep doing it. I got it to stop by giving him the hardest 12 birthday punches of his life. His arm is now purple! I guess 6 years of karate did come to use. XD If I wanted to outrun them, I sure could. XD 1 mile in 4:16 minutes was my last week's time. He's just jealous when I talk to the girls, then he goes around cracking his knuckles. He's lucky I don't have short-temper. I guess I just didn't want to leave my friends. In these past couple months, I learned it's ok to cry. I thank you guys for convincing me not to bomb
the test. I'll just have to see what happens in Jr. High. :/
The bullies ended up bald and generally pretty pitiful from my school days, the nerds and cool people all managed to be quiet successful. I'd say this was about a 90% ratio for both groups actually out of say 500 students. A few of the cool jocks that never beat on other kids ended up pretty well off also.
Those high school reunions really were insightful
I word about bullies: they tend to be larger than you, but....you have a distinct advantage, they also tend to be slow and get winded easily, so you can typically out run them.
I took full advantage of this growing up, taunting them. Even if you cannot out run them straight, you can weave and it's much harder for them to change direction. Small little bully "lieutenants"? Give them a beat down, they might be able to keep up with you, but they are no match.
As the smallest and youngest of 6 kids, I learned to run. I rather enjoyed it. It's like tag, except they really tag you if you are caught, so you play the game a bit more, well, seriously, but I laughed all the way. Nothing felt so good as to watch 2-3 big lard bullies sucking wind and getting stomach cramps. You know that laugh woody woodpecker uses in the cartoon? Yes, I'd use that to taunt them. Very effective at pushing them beyond their limits. Worked on older brothers and sisters also.
It'll also get you in shape pretty good.
I had a Boy's Club 1/2 a block from my house. So I boxed, wrestled, martial arts, basketball etc after school every day. I likely could have pummeled the bullies, but never did. Do I regret that today? No, not at all, well...... one or two guys sure deserved it, but I'm okay with that too.
Also, listen to other family members that are older other than your parents, it was pretty helpful for me to get different views that were not my folks(I would not have listened to them! Nag nag naggy naggy nag). I think I'd prefer a beating than "the nag".
Parents are a little crazy and it's very tough for them to realize how fast you grow up and adjust, they are still thinking you are like 7 years old or something. You are actually very independent, so give them a break. They have been use to making the decisions for you for 10+ years. It's a hard habit for them to break. They sound like very good parents. I was totally into aquariums when I was your age myself.
High school is only a few years of life. So many kids place their whole self worth on high school and it's sad, because they kill themselves over it. 99% of your "best-friends-for-ever" in high school won't be. A lot of the cool kids, girls who won't give you time of day, bullies, will grow up to be losers.
As for your parents, they are only trying to help. I would have died for parents that cared and weren't self-absorbed partying narcissists. I could take off for days at the age of 12 and they didn't notice. Both made decent money, but were too reckless with it to help with me school and instead I had to go $40,000 in debt in student loans because they wanted to party all the time.
There's worse out there kid.
|Well. I realized the test is on my dad's birthday and his wish is for me to pass the test. He told me the wish, SO IT'S NOT coming true. jk! LOL
|I love this thread. Where were you guys to talk some sense into me when I was in 7th grade...
Bullies can be a pain in the ass, At some point you may have to assert yourself.
A couple tips,, Never throw an arm punch when you can put your shoulder and hip's into it, Make the punch count.
Hit em in the throat,kick em in the groin,and then put your shoulder ,hip's,into best Sunday punch.
Few bullies will return for second's.
Been in more fight's than i've had birthday's ,(was skinny,little).
Even the big fella's aren't likely to pester you, if they think there's a chance they could receive injury,embarassment.
|The Dude
You sound like a pretty smart kid and you have a good head on your shoulders. I've been interested in your replies as your level of maturity shows through. I think you and your parents should be proud.
Stick it out man. I think you have a bright future ahead of you.
I believe we're all given special gifts. The ones that choose to embrace whatever they excel in usually find their way to success.
There are bullies in every school. There are also guys that don't like bullies. I set my high schools bench press record as a freshman. None of my friends ever had problems with bullies.
I guess I'll listen to what my parents say,
at least I have a week away from them.
Going to camp for 1 week for a field trip!
Sucks that it just stopped snowing.
|Here's one word to describe middle school: yuck. It's a really awkward phase and generally I didn't like it. No one seems to understand anything of what's going on and there is so much pointless bullying and everyone seems to think that they know everything. Just try to think about what's going on and don't freak out about anything and don't let stuff get to your head. This comes from someone who was in it just 2 and 3 years ago. You have SO MUCH time to think about your future, and really the most you can do right now is get good grades and try to plan and learn about how you can succeed in high school in the future so that you can get into the college that you want. I know for a fact that my direction and wants for my future have changed since then. Also, your parents cannot decide for you in the future when you move away and go to college. I don't really have experience in that part because my parents have always told me to be what I want to be. Reading is fun, but that does seem a little overboard. Listen to your parents though, because really all they're trying to do is get you to become successful.
|With a really strong science background you can go into patent law if you decide you still want to be a lawyer. A good grasp of engineering, chemistry, and biology wouldn't hurt if you want to do something professional with aquariums too. Someone has to design all the stuff for sale in the fish store, after all.

Sir Alex Ferguson has denied a Football Association charge related to comments made about assistant referee Simon Beck following Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Tottenham earlier this month. Follow GOAL.COM on Twitter
Ferguson had blasted the linesman after seeing several decisions go against United and also claimed that Beck had a history of making unfavorable calls against his team. Ferguson was charged on Tuesday, but he has requested a personal hearing into the matter, a date for which has yet to be set.
In the aftermath of the match at White Hart Lane, in which Clint Dempsey struck a last-gasp equalizer after Ferguson thought his team was due a throw-in on the sequence leading to the goal, he said: "I think we should have had a throw-in down our side of the pitch but that linesman never gave us a thing all day.
"For me, it was a poor performance by him. He never saw the penalty kick for Wayne Rooney and some other decisions too.
"We remember him well from his time at the Chelsea game when Didier Drogba was three yards offside and he gave onside. I think he had a shocking game today, and I'm disappointed in his performance, I really am.
"I think he has had a bad game, and we never got anything from that side of the pitch. We got a bad break."

I am not big on plastic surgery. If it makes the person feel better, why not. However I think that most times it takes away from the character of a person. Sadly so many woman are almost becoming clones of each other in this standard of beauty that is being held up to women at this time. Who knows how long that will be the ideal of beauty though? Go through history and see how many beauty trends there have been. Will women keep having surgery to keep up with the trend, like with fashion?
With regard to Kris' surgery however, I don't really watch their show, so I can't say if she has mentioned it before, but I would venture to guess she has had surgery around her eyes even prior to this recent surgery. Also, is it just me, or does it seem like she also had a nose job. Perhaps it just looks different due to the face lift. Also, were there no other photos to compare her before and after results? The second photo is obviously shot without her knowledge, as was probably the first. In the second one however she is speaking and it is disorting her face, so it is hard to really get a good idea of a before and after. I think the makeover I would have rather seen regardless of the result of the facelift however is in how she treats her girls. I don't know if it is for ratings, but things I have heard quoted from her about her girls, and what she places importance on in their lives makes me sad.

But his flat speaks for itself: very stylish combination of Bairro-alto-feeling and comfort, phantastic patio, were one could breakfast or talk into morning hours, with the soft sounds of Portuguese voices around, the famous Gloria-escalator and the Sao-Petro-Miradouro, nice restaurants and groceries, all in reach by food. Whenever I am lucky enough to go to Lisbon again, I would try to stay at Richard's place!
Lovely appartment on the ground floor. No stairs to climb which is great after climbing all the steepy Lisboan streets. Very close to centre and the Rua Atalaia with all the bars, music etc. Enough space for three persons with a nice patio, great for having breakfast and dinner outside. Richard is a very nice easygoing host.
It was really a very nice flat well located... I can absolutely recommend that :) thanks
Very good place to visit Lisbon. Very nice apartment, furnished with taste and fresh! Very soothing place in a charming and vibrant! Also our host is very friendly, spontaneous, good advice and funny! A beautiful meeting amidst the charm of Lisbon!

Bel appartement, très propre et très bien placé! Le point de départ parfait pour de grandes balades et découvertes de la ville. On s'y est senti comme chez nous pendant quelques jours. parfait!
We enjoyed staying in Richards cosy appartment. Very complete, nice kitchen and bathroom, good beds. Very well situated, walking distance to the historic centre. Beware of low doorways in the appartment, tall people might hurt their head! Friendly and reliable host. Thanks again for having us.
A very nice apartment with charm, well located to get to know Lisbon and totally uncomplicated. thank you
Eine sehr schöne Wohnung mit Charme, gut gelegen um Lissabon kennenzulernen und total unkompliziert.
vielen Dank
We had rented a super fun but also super small flat through the good stinging together Wimdusysteem. Are you more than 1.80 then you bump your head repeatedly in this apartment. Owner Richard is busy and rents for income and I have hardly seen, let alone had time to call.'s Sights Do not let that stop you rent this flat is worth its money and its location but be warned of the dimensions, also in height.
Wij hadden een superleuk maar ook superkleine flat gehuurd via het goed in elkaar stekende Wimdusysteem. Ben je langer dan 1.80 dan stoot je meermaals je hoofd in deze flat. Eigenaar Richard is druk bezet en verhuurt voor inkomsten en heb ik dus nauwelijks gezien, laat staan dat hij tijd had om je de bezienswaardigheden van de stad te noemen. Laat dat je niet weerhouden om deze flat te huren, is zijn geld en zijn ligging waard maar wees gewaarschuwd voor de afmetingen, ook in de hoogte.
We had a really nice stay at this apartment. The situation was perfect at Ipanema, close to the beach and restaurants and felt really safe. 24h open secuirty every day. The apatment didn´t have WiFi but internet cabel so keep in mind to bring a computer if you´re in need of internet. Of course the place looked better on the pictures than in reality but it was clean. Quite noisy due to large busy street outside the bedrooms. Overall everything worked out really well!
This appartement is really nice, it has a great location in a area with a lot og restaurants and bars, but without noise during the night. It is really cozy and has a really nice patio with room to dine. The host, richard, is really nice and helpfull. We will definetely recommend this appartement:)

Town Square
Palo Alto City Manager celebrates 5 year anniversary - with a $1000+ per month increase in his City paid retirenet funding
Original post made by Diogenes, Crescent Park, on Sep 23, 2013
First of all, this is an apparent precedent for him, at least in his track-able and seemingly transient employment history over the past 20 years or so, where he has failed to make that 5 year horizon in his employment with ICMA, Tuscon AZ, Berkeley CA, Coconino County (Flagstaff) AZ,the California Association of Counties, and others in the past.
This 5 year milestone now allows him to become vested in the California Public Employees Retirement System, also an apparent first for him in his retirement planning. That vesting occurs at the rate and benefit level that was in existence at the time he was hired by Palo Alto 5 years ago, not at the reduced levels he has implemented during his tenure. That would appear rather ironic for a Manger who has been so vocal in his criticisms of those prior levels.
Further, and more to the point, this milestone enables an increase in his "off the books" payment by the City Council to a little known provision in his original employment contract for an IRS section 401(a) "Government Money Program" account established for him by the City. Those funds are paid by the City directly into a separate pre- tax account without going through his paycheck or showing on his reported salary.
That contract proviso is for payment of 100% of the maximum amount allowed by the IRS code once the 5 year threshold was met. That now results in an increase of over $1000.00 pr month in that amount, up to a new annual total of $51,000.00 beyond his base salary.
Most private sector folks - and other City employees - are limited to a maximum of $17,500 per year, and that deducted from their base salary, not over and above it!
This all is just yet another example of the "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude prevalent at the top in City Hall.

This does not make me happy. If tax revenues are not going up, why should anyone's salary be going up, but even if revenues were going up, every demand on new money should be carefully weighed and balanced against the needs of the city.
This is not right, somehow corporate officers and executive politicians have created a special class for themselves that ignores everyone else, and puts them only in league with and representing the rich and powerful ... only then do they get to rip-off the public like the others.

Wow!!! With only two responses from local residents it seems that the majority of you must agree with how he is doing and that he deserves this increase. I'm sure that ALL of the employees from Palo Alto will be very happy for the City Manager and his financial increase. If I was a city employee and trying to maintain my income and future retirement I would be now looking at other cities who seem more concerned with retaining workers and i would consider relocating when the option became available. HOW DARE THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY COUNCIL PULL THIS TYPE OF BS ON ALL OF US AS TAXPAYERS!!
Palo Alto City Council you should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing this to happen while demanding pay cuts, less benefits , reduced staffing and telling us that we have no money and you should have told the City Manager that he too will have to do without.
Our employees deserve everything they have and more!.

In all these five years, our ignoble city manager has never stopped by to visit the City animal shelter, which after losing the budget committee vote to close us in 2012 he continues behind the scenes to abandon and shut down by neglect.
This is for you, big-boss:

EXACTLy...which group received raises again while everyone else took pay cuts... the MANAGERS
The higher ups in our local governments seem to be patterning like our federal government. Apply rules to the working class but not to yourself. Maybe they can even come up with a great retirement for themselves and then impose some trash scheme on everyone else...

What in Sam Hill did this guy do do deserve this? he certainly did not end world hunger, or even homelessness in Palo Alto. All he ever did was make Palo Alto a less and less desirable place to live, and increase the ugly factor. he is as useless as the proverbial t--- on a bull, and should get the boot, along with the corrupt city council.

To S. Coen: I wouldn't read too much into a lack of responses on this b/c people are pretty busy these days responding to problems created and/or exacerbated by City Hall and City Council.
The article "Not A Resident" posted certainly hints at why Keene has moved around. The last couple of city manager packages suggest that getting that post in this city is probably considered a coup! I am not a fan of carpetbaggers but one can hardly blame the man for saying yes to what City Council offered. They hired him. They approved the package. We all need to keep this in mind next time we vote for council members.

Keene was recommended to the city by former CM Frank Benest. And the Council went along with it.

Recycled Christmas tree fish habitats ready
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Do you ever wonder what happens to those Christmas trees that you discarded last year?
Many get reused -- not as a centerpiece of the holiday, but as a place for fish to live and raise their young.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, with the help of local cities, towns, and the Keep America Beautiful Campaign, reuse the trees to place in area lakes.
The unusually low drawdown of Boone Lake this year has left huge mud flats where it looks like everybody has dumped their used Christmas trees. Nearly a thousand trees have been purposely placed near Winged Deer Park in Johnson City for fish habitats.
With no naturally-occurring shelter and a mud bottom in the lake, these habitats are a great addition for wildlife. "Fish come into [the habitats]. It doesn't make more fish, but it attracts the ones in the lake to one spot," TWRA biologist John Hammonds says.
Just as the trees attract fish, so will this spot attract fishermen. But these trees are more than just a fish attracter. "What these trees will provide is not an empty habitat with nothing for them to hide in. It will give the crappie and bluegill, the smaller fish a place to hide. When they come in here and they hide from the larger fish, bass and such will come in and they can feed around the trees," biologist Shaun Ramsey said.
The trees are put into bundles and anchored down so they don't float away.
With so many in this one area, everyone has an opportunity to come and catch the fish. "People who buy a license are who funds this work. We try to make it to where not just one or two people can get to it, but anybody who wants to, like the folks on the pier and the ramp. Some folks from shore and also people on boats [can get to them]," Hammondsj said.
And that helps the area's ever-growing recreation opportunities.
It may look like a Christmas tree graveyard at this time of year, but as the lake comes up, so do the fish -- they're not only looking for places to hide but to raise their young. "There's research that show that this type of structure works. The fish definitely like the natural structure, of the Christmas trees. You can put artificial things out there, but natural seems to work better to attract fish," Hammonds added.
And it's the perfect reuse for all of those trees.

So how possible do u think it is to go from five to thirty five hives in one year without buying any? My goal for next year is this. I am going to buy some buckfast and a few nucs from northern Alabama. How feasible do u think this goal is?
So how possible do u think it is to go from five to thirty five hives in one year without buying any? My goal for next year is this. I am going to buy some buckfast and a few nucs from northern Alabama. How feasible do u think this goal is?
Let bees be bees.
Pretty Aggressive. Check Michael Palmers website he has section on this I think. www.bushfarms.com
I went from 40-150 in a year but, I bought Nuc's and packages. If you split so aggressively you will have no honey. So it is honey or bee's can do both very well.
I'm confused, you said you weren't buying bees but then you're buying nucs???? Or is it, you're buying this year, then going to try for 35 next year??
will you catch swarms?
Five to thirty five hives............I believe it's very possible, but I don't think by splitting, but I could be wrong. The best way to achieve your goal is to get with your animal control center and be the go to person for swarms! Do cut outs, swarm trapping and split your hives. If I wanted to, I could have easily went from four hives last spring to at least fifty by June just on swarm calls alone.
If you only split your own hives I think you would spend a fortune in bred queens, sugar syrup and you would need perfect conditions!
Like what was mentioned, Michael Palmer would be the person to chime in on this thread as he has some great insight on this aspect of beekeeping for sure!

I tend to think that more queens make more bees. So just hypothetically if 5 queens can fill 6 hives with be4s. why can't 35 queens fill 35 hives. Or another way to look at it. If you where going to buy 35 packages. Could you just make 35 packages from your 5 hives?
In reality I started 2 5 fame nucs this past summer from just one hive. My limiting factor was frames that where ready. It was late summer and I was not able to count on my bees drawing comb. Maybe if I started as early as possible in the spring I could split one hive into 5 nucs. but I woudl be giving up any hope of harvesting honey. I woudl still have worked my tail off and gotten nothing but hives for it. Which is more expensive. buying nucs at $100 a pop or making splits and loosing all production. I figure a lost harvest of 50 lbs can be worth as much as $300. There are lots of ways to look at it. some require performance. others are good enough with whatever you get.
I have seen hives started with a cup full of bees and a queen in a box not much bigger than your fist. You can make them by the dozens that way. they also take a lot of care. So can you produce 35 queens give each one a bare minimum of queens and get them going? probably. I woudl probably make more like 50 queens for a 50% safety margin myself though.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I went from 12 to 40 + just by catching swarms and doing removals this last year.
Left my original 12 hives alone to be production hives.
Stock up on equipment early.
Thanks for the replies. I am going to be aggressively splitting early spring as all my hives at this moment are three deep as of yesterday. I am hoping to get some swarms also next year so I can have a diversity of drones to start queen rearing next year also. I got enough deeps to start out in the spring probly splitting each hive three to four times plus the swarms. This spring I started with two and split those three times this year and got a good honey crop that I haven't taken yet. I am going to let them get the rest filled since they are all foundationless and treatment free. They are booming like the storm coming up the eastern coast.
Let bees be bees.
Having attempted something like this, let me weigh in from my experience.
Last year, I went from 10 to something like forty at one point, but considering the actual conditions and the actual production of queenright hives, it's more like 7 to 33.
I would say it can be done, if done properly, but the probability is slim on actually ending up with exactly what you're wanting.
Here's how I did it:
Using the queenright cell builder technique http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/benhardenmethod.html http://parkerfarms.biz/experiments.html and using two hives, I made a total of 28 successfully raised and capped queen cells. Using those hives and 6 others, I made three frame mating nucs (one frame brood, one stores, one empty) and placed them in queen castles http://parkerfarms.biz/queens.html#Mating_Nucs Successfully hatched and mated queens (~85%) were placed in five or ten frame nucs (where they increased rapidly to fill the empty space) or used to requeen a couple of dinker hives I had.
Caveats: While it can be done (I believe), you are relying upon a roll of the dice and it is very important that you have enough frames of brood (your five hives must be very healthy) to make mating nucs. You can make all the queens in the world, but they're not all going to come back from their mating flights and they're not all going to lay eggs. According to Michael Palmer, a third are going to be dinks anyway. The process will always be ongoing. You will also need the equipment. I built mine over last winter, 10 3x3 queen castles, and something like a dozen plywood mating nucs, and I have one hive that is 4 five-frame nucs in one big box.
Having attempted something very similar to what you, I say it could be done. Your limiting factor will be the amount of brood your five hives have and I'm just not sure you'll succeed on that count. It all depends on the hives. Perhaps you should plan conservatively for 20-25 and get what you can. It's up to you.
Thanks Solomon. I am building my own equipment now since this year I put more money in tools then I did the hives. I can make two full hives with one 16x12 one inch pine and screen for the bottom board. All together one full hive runs me about twenty dollars with SBB hive body and insulated cover. I will still buy the frames since they are cheaper to buy then to try to make. Plus I like to just put them together when they come in. I am making all deeps at this moment to insure I have frames to start out in a good position next year. The winter here is short and they have probly 60 to 80 lbs. of surplus honey on each hive. I have two breeder queens that are still laying frames of brood this late. The hives are very healthy and slammed of bees.
Let bees be bees.
Very interesting Solomon, thanks for your insight!
Beecrazy, I wish you the best if luck with this expansion, I really do, and I also would like to see updates in the spring as to how your process is going. I have eight hives right now myself and would like to be up to at least twenty going into next summer, should be easy enough, but I also don't know how many will make it through winter. I also plan on catching more swarms in the spring as 7 of my 8 hives are swarms from last spring and they are troopers!
Good luck and don't forget to make some swarm traps and set a line of them as well! Free bees and they are sure to draw out the foundation less frames quickly!
Coyote Creek Bees
Odfrank goes from 40 to 0 then back up to 80 catching swarms!
5 to 35 is not hard. You will need all equipment ready and some time. You won't get much honey and you will feed more than average. If you raise queens then it will be tough because one hive has to raise queens. Buying queens is much easier because they are mated but it costs more.
Rak. My plans are not to buy the queens except for the buckfast from Canada for my hives next year. I am going to start early and run as late as I can with making up the hives. I am going as inexpensive as possible since I am looking to spend some money on II equipment next year. I am venturing head on into queen rearing and expansion. I am going to be pushing the envelope to see what can be done with my bees next year. By the time spring hits I will have all hives ready and nucs for the expansion process. This is going to be a sideline since I do work an average of 70 hours a week at a shipyard. But my thing is I keep busy do many things. I also cleared my two acres behind the house to put in a herb garden designed just for my bees. So many herbs that can be planted to maintain pollen and nectar almost year round.
Let bees be bees.
We will see what one can do. Like this forum everyone says u can't do treatment free but we do and it works and so far has worked great for my hives. I am just a fanatic to see what I can do when I get into something I enjoy. This is something I plan on doing for a long time. I will definitely keep everyone informed on my progress next year for I enjoy chatting with others on here even if only for a few.
Let bees be bees.
You work 70 hours a week and still find time to want to expand your bees, that's dedication!
I know timing is everything with bees as queens hatch at exact times and so on and so forth, when your capped queen cells are ready to emerge, will work allow you to be ready for the queens? I would hate to hear that your bees raised 20 queen cells only to have one emerge early and kill the others.
I'm no expert, but I only work 40 hours a week and still find it hard to find time for my measly eight hives, and I haven't even got into serious queen rearing methods!
I'm not putting you down, just wondering if you have a plan in place to be able to get out if your day job to take care of your sideliner ideas. And perhaps a back up plan?
My plan for next spring is to split the hives that make it and then catch swarms to reach my goal of twenty hives, and make enough good splits to sell some nucs to help pay for some equipment. I would like to try and raise some queens for fun as well.
I also plan on having a permanent yard within 10 minutes of my house instead of the current 40 minutes so I can be more attentive to them.
I do wish you luck and hope you don't get burned out trying to keep up with your current job and expanding your bees!
Coyote Creek Bees
Thanks beeghost. Yes I do work a lot 12 hours a day and sometimes up to 59 days or nights before a day off. Luckily my job allows me some time to do what I enjoy even though I do work long hours and sometimes long months. Swing shift is good. I have always been a work-a-holic as my wife and parents would say. This year I have gotten a lot in place for next year like mentioned I cleared two acres which was fun and tilled it up by hand just to be ready to plant it in the spring to. I sometimes overdue it but always manage to accomplish what my goals are. It will take some planning when I start rearing my own queens to make sure they don't kill them all but I am pretty good with time. Work never stops even when one punch's the clock. Lol
