Reviews for this host's other properties
We enjoyed our stay at Gianni. The apartment was very clean and close to the tram (15 minutes to the center). The information he gave us was clear and his cake was very good.
Home effective, discreet, friendly, breakfast tb, small morning coffee excellent!
accueil efficace, discret, sympathique, petit déjeuner tb, petit café matinal excellent !
Gianni is a very nice host, has even baked us a cake. The room is perfectly adequate for 2 people, we were three, as it is a bit short, but for the night also ok! Be careful when parking next to the house! Most parking machines accept cash and not with the German card, they did not clear it. We have paid for evil: 54 €.
Gianni ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber, hat uns sogar einen Kuchen gebacken. Das Zimmer ist für 2 Personen absolut ausreichend, wir waren zu dritt, da ist es etwas knapp, aber für die Nacht auch o.k.
!!! Aufpassen beim Parken neben dem Haus !!! Die meisten Parkautomaten nehmen kein Bargeld und mit den deutschen Karten kamen sie auch nicht klar. Wir haben böse bezahlt: 54€.
room a bit cramped and very loud, good breakfast, clean lieu.un bit far from the center and nothing around, damage
chambre un peu exiguë et très sonore, bon petit déjeuner, propreté du lieu.un peu loin du centre et rien autour , dommage
We had a really nice time in A´dam and at Gianni´s house. It was clean and comfortable. Thank you!
We had a pleasant stay. Gianni is very discreet and very pleasant. It is very good cakes. His apartment is located 250m from a tram that can take you to the center in about twenty minutes.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Gianni est très discret et très agréable. Il fait de très bons gâteaux. Son appartement est situé à 250m d'un tram qui peut vous conduire au centre en une vingtaine de minutes.
Our journey at Gianni's was awesome. We felt like at home. We had no problems to reach his house, he gave us clear indications and he came to get us at the metro station. Like someone said on a previous comment, his espressos are amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. We'll sure return there if we come back to Amsterdam.
Gianni is a very kind host. The breakfast was very delicious. The flat is not so close to the center but the tram stop is at 5 min.walk distance. It was easy to find the place following the instruction of Gianni.
Very clean bathrooms and perfect connection to the city centre.
The bigger room would be the better choice, so try to go for that one.
We stayed in the smaller room and you could feel every spring of the mattress.
Still, in summery a good place to stay and explore the city. :)
The expectations were not disappointed at all! The room is big, clean and tidy, the owner accommodating and kind. The apartment is located from the city center about 15-20 min by tram, but the service is convenient and also at night. What can I say, excellent quality / price ratio.
Le aspettative non sono state affatto deluse! La camera è grande, ordinata e pulita, il proprietario accomodante e gentile. L'appartamento dista dal centro della città circa 15-20 min di tram, ma il servizio è comodo e presente anche di notte. Che dire, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I've started using the free edition of Beetight (since I only have 2 hives), and I like it. It's simple and seems pretty robust. I can't use the android app that comes with the paid version, but the QR code that you can print off is a nice touch. I'd definitely code my hives if I had more than 4-5. Would probably work great printing onto some label stock, and if I were a commercial beek, I'd definitely stick an extra QR code under the bottom board to help in identifying stolen hives.
When you print the QR code, what seems to hold up the longest?
I would think if I used a mailing label in our humidity/rain, it would be gone before it served its purpose...
FL Beak, some of the new labels are pretty good. We use ones that can't be torn etc... and they last in the sun. Only issue, they stick a little better to non painted surfaces for the most part (inside a hive should be fine, not windy in there). Other than that, they peel off and stick just like any other label.
I've started my Access DB for beekeeps. If you want something added let me know. I'm just building the structure now, got the main menu up and it cycles through pics you can link to it. I do plan on making it barcoding friendly, but not sure how much interest is there really. It will have equipment tracking as well.
Exactly which labels are you using? Are you printing them on a laser BW? Also, wouldn't it be hard to scan the code if its inside the hive?
I use the paid version of beetight, which is cheap, and gives you quite a bit of added functionality. The only thing I dislike about it is the interface is a bit wonky, especially on the mobile apps. Still, its a good value.
I'll have to see what we get. Our printers are thermal transfer, a laser would be just as good as far as durability. The label is actually made of plastic I believe but you wouldn't know it until you try to rip it, they're pretty tough. Inside the hive was mentioned as a way of safeguarding for theft purposes, outside they should work fine, we've just noticed with painted surface, they may blow off in high winds where as plain wood stakes etc... no issues at all.
jdawdy, i'm creating this more for people running it as a small business. It will have hive tracking but also more business related stuff (like inventory management/sales) etc... built in as well.
JRG13- Infering that your are developing a database? You have my attention with the addition of tracking small business data
Yes Florida,
It will have forms on it to allow for inventory management via barcode scanning etc... Tracking purchases/income as well. Once I get the bulk of it ready, if you need customization I will work with you. I will begin putting the function together this week. My main goal is to be able to print out worksheets for a set of hives or outyards that you can collect data on or make notes etc... as well as track inidividual hive data as you it suits you. I may put in a queen building form as well, but will need some consensus for that, but my plan is for the user to input their start or end dates and it can build the rest but it's not as easy as it sounds since people use different methods. But, it would allow to track how many cells went in, how many came out, how many queens produced in the end with minimal effort.
Basic hive/outyard/apiary set up will be straightforward. Put in location, # hives, brand etc..... Track equipment size/# broodboxes/# supers added/Queen source. Feel free to pm me with any other ideas.
JRG13, have you looked at using RFID tags? I am interested in what you are working on also, but purely as a hive event recording tool.
Crazy Roland
Playing around with both Beetight and Hive Tracks, I sort of have a preference for Hive Tracks. I like the main page layout - with number of stacked hives and color coordination - and so I can see how built up my colonies are what shape they're in without having to delve too deep into the program. Both are powerful tools, it's just user preference in the end :)
I haven't looked into RFID roland. I assume a scanner of some sort reads the tag and sends an input? I assume it would be much like using a barcode scanner as an input, if so, it's easy to capture the input if the reader can be hooked up to a computer. I'll do some research and see what I can do.
RFID would be pretty cool. Our town library has all the books RFID'd, so all I do when I check out is scan my card and then place all the books on the counter within a certain area. The books are read 4 to five deep at a time and it's pretty instantaneous. I think this would be a pretty amazing tool for many facets. Just reading about how someone lost all their hives to theft. With RFID on the hive bodies, you could shame someone real fast and real bad, and I wouldn't feel bad about doing it. The future is here, whether you like it or not!... except that the bees are doing what they've been doing for millions of years. Hehe...
@beetastict _ i used bee hive manager until water damage destroyed my last phone, and I lost my data. I like the looks of hive tracks- but wonder how much data it uses? I'd rather not have to change/upgrade my cell program. Beetight seems like you can use the program without cell service, then once you get a signal or wifi, it can update the web based portion of the program, which is why I'm leaning toward beetight
I'm going to try out the Andriod phone app, Beehive Manager, as was suggested (and it's a free app). And probably keep a blog as well. It looks fairly simple to use and there were a few others. One was a bit pricey, however.
True, it wouldn't be like a spot gps or anything, but it could help if someone did a quick repaint of hive bodies and you had a hunch.
FL Beak, yes, the only downside with Hive Tracks is the need for cell reception. Fortunately all my yards have that possibility. If not I would go with another program.
NFC chips and Android? Put the tag in the hive, touch your phone to the outside of the hive and have the phone do whatever you've scripted it to (insert a row in a database, submit a webform, text someone, anything you want to record your hive visit / activities).
My beekeeping software is still alive. Take a look. I am sorry I have not the ability to develop it further, but it will as is cover nearly everything you need to take notes about in beekeeping.
If I were inclined to have an on-my-PC-only record, I think I'd be more inclined to use Access rather than Excel for a sideliner-league number of hives, because I could use the same database not just for the beekeeping side of things but also the logistical and financial sides and everything can be cross-referenced. A great feature is the ability to create a less-confusing form to quickly enter data to the tables, and also the ability to create instant reports.
...but then, I'm perfectly okay with Hive Tracks. Love Hive Tracks.

st: ODBC with Excel

st: ODBC with Excel
Thu, 24 May 2007 10:46:26 -0600
I am attempting to automate a routine where a series of Excel
spreadsheets are downloaded from the internet via Stata and saved in a
local directory for later analysis.
The files are correctly saved and can be opened in MS Excel 2007.
However, a warning message in Excel indicates the following: "File
error. Some number formats may have been lost." Once I dismiss the error
message, the file is correct, including the formats.
When I try to load the Excel file in Stata using .odbc load, I get the
following error (debug on):
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Reserved error (-5016); there is no
message for this error.
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Reserved error (-5016); there is no
message for this error., SQLSTATE=HY000
-Interestingly, if, once I dismiss the error in Excel 2007, I save the
document and try to load it in Stata, it loads fine without any errors.
-Changing the odbc driver used when setting up the data source in
Windows to an earlier one, does not resolve the problem.
-Because this is part of an automation routine, manually opening each
Excel document in order to dismiss the error and hitting save, is not a
sensical option.
-Windows XP home, Microsoft Office 2007
I know this question has much more to do to MS Excel than Stata, but I
am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem or if anyone has a
suggestion or alternate solutions.
Thank you,
Thomas Speidel

I do not use any fab that " bleeds", if they bleed when I test( cut a piece dump in cup of hot water) I don't use. I only wash when bsolutely needed. Air fluff in dryer occasionally to freshen.


text: All, yesterday I was grafting from a friends stock in her bee yard. While doing so, I noticed when I was lifting out the eggs that with it came the shells of dead bees. In other words, the lower portion of the bees were lining the cells and then the queen dropped eggs in them. I have not seen this before. Anyone else? Does it affect the ability to raise queens at all? Thanks.

Western Society is in a state of confusion, the industrial world is teetering on collapse, and it looks like things could continue to get worse. Agrarian blogger, historian, and "plain" preacher Michael Bunker has been living off of the grid for many years, and he has some advice for those living in the industrial/consumerist economy... Living an off off-grid life is achievable. It has been done for thousands of years, and it can be done today... It is quite possible that many people who have relied on a failing system for their means of survival will very soon find that they have made a mistake of historic proportions. Historic, because every major "classical" culture went down the same road our society is on today. This audiobook is about the lessons we should have learned, and what you can do to survive what history tells us must come next.
©2011-2013 Michael Bunker (P)2013 Michael Bunker
"Lots of good info"
Much useful advice
The author
Reads very clearly - good pacing
Lots of practical stuff about living without the power grid. Many of these things can be applied, not just in the event of a disaster, but as a way of saving money and living healthier in everyday life.
Really don't understand why some people are so upset about his faith. Yes, be believes and is not afraid to say it but that is not what the book is all about. It's all about very practical advice about not relying so much on something that could easily stop working for a few hours, a few days or a long time. Very practical advice about getting through such and event and preparing for such an eventuality.
"Interesting perspective. Full of insight"
I enjoyed the thoroughness of his paradigm, as well as the history. Thanks for a thought-provoking book that has changed my perspective on what it truly means to be sustainable and to survive.
"Lots of good advice"
Yes. Like the boys scouts...we need to be prepared.
Not really. Not that kind of book. The past couple of days we had three power outages and it got me thinking about this book. I listened to it a while back but never really put any of its advice into practice. But, what if we lost power for a few days or weeks, not just a few hours? Frightening possibility. My family will never go completely off the grid like the author, but I am going to look into not becoming so dependent on the almighty 'grid."
Really didn't understand why a few people got so upset because the author talked about his faith now and then. That was very minor. The huge amount of practical advice was what the book was all about...not religion.
"Great info"
Loved the content and the viewers presented perspective. Was not a big fan of the readers style and the Christianity preaching crept in a few too many times. Even still, I recommend this for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and preparing to sever ties with the grid.
"great book for those thinking about this lifestyle"
a little too heavy on religion, but great information on how our ancestors survived. so
"Theological drivel"
Most memorable moment:
How much I struggled to get past the first three chapters. It is just the the theological ramblings of a mormon libertarian.
Theological is fine.
Mormon is fine.
Rambling is fine.
Libertarian is fine.
Put together, it's crap put together by enablers that don't have better sense.
"Some good information but slow"
After I put the speed on 1.25 it was eaiser to listen to. Some good bits of information scattered throughout was enough to keep me listening.
"Be warned...This is a religious book"
This book might appeal to fundamentalist Christians who believe the world is at odds with God's will. It isn't enough to believe our modern society is flawed. You MUST believe it is EVIL.
Only the heavy handed, uber-religious ones.
Unmemorable average pleasant
It is finite.
The author exhibits the unholy trinity of arrogance, close-mindedness, and irrationality. He spends more time lambasting the wicked world than proving his own points. Please please please make your points on their own merits and do not presume to tell me what I think and believe.Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, if you believe in that sort of thing.The author is overly pleased with himself and his apparent moral superiority.
"Religious diatribes with little else"
This book nothing more than a religious diatribe. Take out the religious ramblings about the authors personal beliefs, and there isn't much left.
I purchased this book in the hopes of learning something about "Surviving Off Grid". I wasn't expecting an instruction manual on religion. Had I wanted an instruction manual on religion, I would have purchased one.
I feel like the author misrepresented his book and took my money based on false pretenses. This is not honest. I actually expected that the book would have something to due with the title and the description, but it does not. It's a rambling religious diatribe couched in the guise of a guide to learning about off grid survival.
Sincerely disappointed.
I read almost exclusively non-fiction; there are so many real stories that are worth knowing, and learning from.
"I almost asked for a refund but I'm glad I did not"
The reason I'm writing this review is that I believe people need to hear the overall message Michael Bunker writes. We are far too dependent on "the grid" for electricity, our food, and most especially water. What will happen when all these supplies are disrupted? Most who are dependent upon mass-produced food and energy will not survive. If you are trusting in trusting in major corporations or municipalities to provide these essentials, you are rolling the dice. The world we live in today is both dangerous and unpredictable.What made this recording hard to listen to was the poor job of narration, and the author's sometimes irritating script. Bunker's message is very timely, and there was enough valuable information that I bought the book after I finished listening to it. However, I would caution you to listen thoroughly to the narrator's sample recording, and decide if you can overlook a very pedantic style, often incongruent with the message; the narrator is not a Southerner, but Bunker is, and the author writes about his personal experiences growing up in Texas. Bunker discusses his Christian beliefs frequently, but the narrator shows he lacks a basic knowledge of the Bible, and his performance in general belies the seriousness about this subject which the author obviously intends to communicate. Also, occasionally Bunker is dogmatic about his position, and when combined with Mr. Killavey's reading style, the message comes off badly.This Audible recording could have been much more palatable and helpful; but if you can tolerate the above, I think you'll find real value in the author's hands-on experience with getting off the grid, and moving to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Bunker admits that his effort to dig a well on his property was unsuccessful. This was no doubt an expensive undertaking, as he clearly expresses how important water was and is to us all. He still, at least at the time of writing this book, does not have a working water well, but he went on to other methods of providing for his family's needs, such as rain collection and storage, and dehumidifiers. His initial difficulties in providing this essential evoked my compassion, as I know how hot the summers can be in Texas. Having to drive long distances to obtain water must have been a grave challenge to his commitment to, and his family's belief in their new DIY life.
NO; absolutely not. If I thought the book were worth digesting, I would get a hard copy.
Early on in this listen I was asking myself, is it worth it to finish listening to this recording, given my disappointment with the narrator. I kept listening, and I'm glad I did. There was enough vital information (if you see the need for being self-sufficient), and I decided I would ignore the performance flaws. You may have to endure the same if you choose to buy this recording. If not, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you buy the book, and read it. The message is worth "hearing".
"Didn't realise that I had purchased a bible!"
if I wanted to listen to the bible, would of purchased a bible, not good!
"Religious Fundamentalist Manifesto!"
Author should be more honest in the book decription on his fundementalist
reasons behind the book. It was painful to listen to a few chapters and then I had to give up as the bible quotations were getting too much.
I've requested a refund. Silly me should have read all the reviews first.
Paniful to listen to.
Sadness and disappointment.

text: I got a 2012 WRX with the below listed mods. The stock throttle body hose literally disintegrated so I replaced it with a Grimmspeed Throttle Body hose. I had to take the TMIC off to fix it, knocked the BOV vacuum line off, replaced it. Ran fine. Not when ever I get into boost i can hear a loud wind rushing noise to overpowers the turbo spool. No CEL's. Obvious performance difference when boosting. Any idea's?


text: Alright, so I'm never really worked on a lot of electrical problems, but this one is beginning to tick me off to a point I can't take anymore. When I roll my windows down or up, apply the brakes and even turn on my blinkers my headlights flicker and become dim. They also flicker when I crank my stereo up loud and my subs kick hard. The worst of it is when I roll my windows up or down and they become dim. I also recently noticed the other day that my heated seats no longer work. When I press the button the light for on comes up for a brief half a second then goes away. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening, and how I can fix it? I drive a 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 ext cab, with a 5.3l Vortec and a Duralast yellow top battery.

Frampton Cotterell is quite a mixed little place. On the edge of the Ghetto that is Bristol, It has a varied mix of inhabitants. From low-rent chavs, up to not quite as low-rent chavs, you are always guarenteed an interesting time. Frampton Cotterell only really comes into its own (literally) when the sun goes down. Whether its being asked to buy White Lightining by the local hoodies just out of Highcroft, to being offered Tostrifomen by people with six fingers.
I went to Frampton Cotterell the other day. Never again.

Please share your medication schedule! What do you treat with and why? I have only used apistan, Terramycin and menthol(as needed) in treating my bees.
I have never used Fumidil-B or the essential oils. Thanks Debbie
Please share your medication schedule! What do you treat with and why? I have only used apistan, Terramycin and menthol(as needed) in treating my bees.
I have never used Fumidil-B or the essential oils. Thanks Debbie
Nothing- because there is no accumulation of chem's in the hive or its products. Only use of natural cell sizing and selection.
Apistan is resistant here.
terramycin masks the disease also shortens bees life span.
Checkmite is just too toxic.
FGMO worked but alot of work.
Acids are dangerous, too much concentration and burn bees. Too low and not good enough control.
fumidil b- expensive
(no flaming please)
The only medication I've used besides FGMO and essential oils in the last 28 years is Apistan and I've quit using it now. It failed last year anyway. I'm going to small cell and am using FGMO fog while I'm getting there.
A medication plan based on your tolerance and acceptability of certain procedures should be evauluated. I do not believe in treating on a preventative basis unless non-chemical options are used.
There is no such thing as a "schedule" when using chemicals. This can lead to resistance and not allowing the bees to develope natural abilities of fighting off deseases.
Develope a "plan" and treat when needed. Become good at preventative measures and learning the symptom signs of the deseases. Then a "schedule" is not needed. Will also save you alot of time, money, make your bees happier, and you will produce a better product.
A plan is better than a schedule.
So far the strongest thing I've used is menthol vapo rub.
I feed them things that has minerals and such in it. Today they had some molasses mixed in the sugar water, for dinner.
I stopped feeding strong hives at the entrance. They get fed in the evening if there is no nectar flow. When the sun goes down, they get no more until the next evening, if I've a mind to put out something. I only have six hives. I'm equalizing them now.
Studies have shown that molasses is not good for the bees. http://www.beesource.com/pov/usda/abjfeb1977.htm
Beekeepers who medicate around these parts usually do so twice during the year (early spring and early fall). Some maintain that it is wise to medicate bees just like it is wise to vaccinate pets. Others believe that medicating does little and may actually harm the hive. I am not sure myself. I use grease patties year round as well as sbb. I never medicate if the hive has honey supers.
I'll use Fumidil-B according to directions at the end of OCT or first of NOV. This is to treat for Nosema. Just have 2 hives and this will be my 2nd winter. They made it through last winter when many others didn't. I'm using small cell foundation throughout the hive and last fall my mite count on a sticky board was not enough to meet the requirements for apistan. I also use grease patties but make the mix soupier and apply it like cake frosting on the top bars any time I open the hive down to the brood chamber. Might try making them with food gradde mineral oil instead of crisco - might work?
Good luck
Thanks Micheal for the link.
I'm not to concerned because I use a forth cup per gallon of sugar water. And According to this information you listed......
Sugars which have poisoned bees are acceptable in rations if they are sufficiently diluted with sucrose. Bailey demonstrated that his samples of acid-inverted sugars had no deleteriotis effect when diluted 8 to 1 with sucrose. Honey and nectars contain traces of toxic sugars such as raffinose, mannose, and galactose (Percival 1961; Siddiqui, 1970). Sublethal levels of these sugars in pollen, honey, or nectar could modify effects of sugars in supplementary diets. Conversely, generous stores of safe sugars could dilute toxins in supplemental feeds. We agree with the ancient philosopher, Paracelcus, who admonished that poisoning is a consequence of quantity, not substance. "Toxic" simply means too much.
:I think they're safe given this one time. I got worried there for a minute:..

Food for the soul
Hello all!
Temperatures in London have plummeted in the last few days and everyone's feeling a little worse for wear, so I'm making Georgie's chicken soup from the How To video we launched this morning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBxo5GimGHw) for the food team's lunch.
What are your go-to recipes for when you're feeling a little bit downtrodden? Not necessarily 'food for colds', but just generally when one's in need of a bit of comfort. I'm generally very fond of a spicy butternut squash, carrot and sweet potato (spiced with chili and cinnamon) soup recipe I published on my blog last year. How about you?

Ps - I'd suggest subscribing to YouTube channel, if you haven't already - big things are coming from Jamie on it, as well as more lovely little video ideas like this one. Thanks!

For me it has to be a really nice beef and red pepper stew, with lots of paprika, garlic and red wine, served with either roasted Brussels sprouts or fried cabbage.

Re: Food for the soul
I go with a stew as well. Leeky lamb stew with dumplings is my favourite. Leave it overnight to get cold, scrape off the excess fat and heat it up. Always best second time around anyway.
I find curries and spagbol comforting meals too.

Re: Food for the soul
well ...at the moment I have red peppers and tomatoes roasting in the oven with a bulb of garlic ready to make some soup , I usually blacken the peppers on the BBQ before then peel them before I make soup but today I am taking a but of a short cut.
Re ppepper and tomato soup is always a favorite .
Butternut squash soup
Parsnip with a few cury spices is lovely n a chilly day.
and of course leek and potato spup is a real winter warmer and great comfort food as well.
cauliflower cheese is a great comfort food as well
or a lovey rissotto .

Re: Food for the soul
Lentil soup or Shepherd's pie, maybe? But really, the most comforting thing is buttered toast/crumpets/whatever and a milky drink, e.g. hot chocolate. I've been experimenting with masala chai recently, great stuff for a cold day.

I usually cheer up making the most yellow polenta to go with everything: stravecchio cheese, fried eggs, a pan of fresh cropped savoy(??) cabbage boiled and stirfried with oil and garlic, adding slowly their boiled in water

Make Your School Fair Trade
Companies like World's Finest Chocolate make lots of money selling chocolate to kids, but chocolate is no treat for hundreds of thousands of children working on cocoa farms instead of going to school. Some of these kids work on their poor families' farms while others work for little or no money, even as slaves, on farms far from home.
There is a solution: FAIR TRADE (Fair Trade Labeling Organizations, FairTradeUSA and Fair Trade Federation labels), which give farmers a fair price for their yields, doesn't allow abusive child labor, and supports the environment. Fair Trade helps farmers send their kids to school, feed their families, and pay their workers. Unfortunately, big companies like World's Finest Chocolate don't sell Fair Trade. You can help cocoa farmers by asking World's Finest Chocolate for Fair Trade; getting your school/club to use Fair Trade for fundraisers, vending machines, and the cafeteria; spreading the word; and more. See the action steps below to get started!
- Get Your School/Club Chocolate Fundraising Program, school vending machines, and school cafeteria to use Fair Trade
Ask your current company to provide Fair Trade, or switch to another company if your current company refuses to offer Fair Trade. We have a guide you can use to educate decision makers about the importance of Fair Trade chocolate and cocoa.
Download it here [1] and contact us for help getting started. If you can't download the file contact us [2] to request a copy by mail. Does your school use World's Finest Chocolate? Join our World's Finest Chocolate Campaign [3] and let them know your school cares about fair trade for cocoa farmers and their children! Equal Exchange [4], Catholic Relief Services [5], and Lutheran World Relief [6] also offer Fair Trade coffee, tea and chocolate for use in school, church and community fundraisers.
Global Exchange has materials for all grade levels, available here as PDF downloads.
- LEARN Read our background [11] and news [12] pages, some excellent Educational Materials and Websites [13], from other organizations, and General Resources [14] on cocoa, chocolate and Fair Trade.
Check out our photos and stories from Nicaraguan Fair Trade cocoa farms [15]. Get a copy of Harvest of Hope [16], a beautiful book on the Kuapa Kokoo Fair Trade co-op, with 72 color photographs.
- PARTICIPATE in our holiday actions.
- National Valentine's Day of Action
- Reverse Trick-or-Treating [19]
- Fair Trade Holiday Caroling [20]
- BUY [21] Fair Trade chocolate and cocoa. Look for the "Fair Trade Certified" and Fair Trade Federation labels. ASK local retailers to sell it. Both Oxfam America [22] and Green [23] America [24] offer materials and resources for approaching your local supermarket chain to demand fair trade and reach out to their many customers, especially around the holidays!
- CONNECT with the Fair Trade community by subscribing to Global Exchange's Fair Trade listserv [25]. High School and college students: check out United Students for Fair Trade [26]
- SUPPORT the Fair Trade Campaign by becoming a member [27] of Global Exchange. Our campaign wouldn't be possible without the support of concerned people like you!

John Singer
Italy 1856 – England 1925
France and USA 1874-90, England from 1890, with regular visits to France, Italy and USA
La Carmencita
c. 1890
oil on canvas
canvas 232.0 (h) x 142.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchased from the artist 1892
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Gérard Blot
Sargent was born in Europe, of expatriate American parents. He was profoundly influenced by the Spanish masters Diego Velazquez, El Greco and Francisco Goya, and by Edouard Manet's reworking of them. In the 1870s he studied at the atelier of Carolus-Duran, and placed second in the entrance examination for the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, on his second attempt. After early success at the Salon, Sargent lived in Britain and travelled occasionally to the United States for portrait-painting binges.1
The Spanish dancer known as La Carmencita first came to fame at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889, where Sargent probably saw her performing in a tent. She presented herself as a classically trained ballet dancer named Carmen Dausset, neither a Gypsy nor flamenco performer.2 The name was famous from Bizet's opera Carmen of 1875. By February 1890 she was dancing in a music hall in New York City,3 when Sargent encountered her at a private performance at a friend's party and asked her to pose for him.
In the portrait, the painter is the performer as much as the dancer. Theatricality is the means through which Sargent presents the moving figure in an imaginary space. A dark background is overcome by flaring footlights, which light the dazzling yellow satin and lace costume, and the dancer's paler arms and face. Her dramatic Spanish colouring restates the light tones, her red lips the bright colour, and her dark hair the importance Sargent placed on the manipulation of tones to represent reality, rather than line. In its manipulation of compressed space and repeated dynamic angles, Manet's painting of another Spanish dancer, Lola of Valencia 18624 seems to be the model for Sargent's composition. He had the chance to view Manet's retrospective in Paris in 1884, and again at the Exposition Universelle in 1889.
After the painting's triumphant debut at the annual spring exhibition of the Society of American Artists in May 1890, it was shown at the Royal Academy in London the following year. It was praised for its liveliness and drama ('the picture of the year … intensely modern, intensely realistic in treatment'), although the same writer saw it as a little decadent ('something of that halo of decay which gives a lurid fascination to the creations of Baudelaire').5 On its exhibition in Paris at the Salon in 1892, La Carmencita was bought by the French state. Perhaps this went some way towards restituting the hostile reaction Sargent's Portrait of Madame X 18846 had met at the 1884 Salon, where it was criticised as scandalous, blatantly erotic and artistically eccentric.

Vick hit 11 times this game so far.
Every time he gets nailed a kitten gets adopted.
Jesse Holley @Mr4thAndLong
Dear Vick , I am 11 inches tip 2 tip & my circumference in 22inches around most team & players worship me but u just give me away! -FootBall
Holy smokes...I just saw the Chiefs beat the Saints.
Okay, I thought I was losing my mind. I have been *very* sick with a head cold the last couple of days, but I didn't think I'd lost THAT many brain cells....
I can't watch the Eagles game so I'm "watching" it on nfl.com. The score said 24-0 at the half, and then it said 18-0 for a while, then 23-0 for a LONG time. I was about to come and post and ask what the REAL score was, and now it's back to 24, with the Eagles scoring 3 points somewhere in there. 24-3....is that the actual score?? lol And what the hell is going on with nfl.com?
It works both ways. You could say the only reason it was close was because we played like crap.
True and they could say the same thing.
They can't say that because we won by also playing like crap. We're the better team.
Its 24-3. It was 24-0 at the half and the score doesn't reflect Arz domination........
Ok, you win.
:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Awesome, thanks for the response. I was going nuts here. haha Apparently nfl.com is having a stroke.
I wish I could watch them get pummeled. *pouts* I'm sure Kolb is loving every minute of it.
check it out on firstrowsports........that game is already making me feel better....
Eagles hanging in there,the Cards need to score and not sit on this lead.
Schaub just got nailed
Almost a ALL time great catch by Johnson.
Schaub is down. Looks bad.
Schab got DRILLED.
Goodness those helmet-to-helmet hits on Schaub were tough...
Schab is bleeding out of the ear. Yikes.


text: Of the successful "all-star" teams, there seems to be one dominant personality holding sway over egos, team chemistry and the winning attitude. Jordan, Bird, Magic, Isaiah, Duncan, Big Ben. They seemed to have their teammates' respect and commitment to play hard every game. And I think they rightfully earned that respect. Will Pierce and Allen step aside for KG to be the leader of the new-look Celtics? I'd say yes. KG should be primed to win and, like the Pistons of 04, extremely hungry (VC pales in comparison). If they are healthy, they'd be tough. But I don't think we Pistons fans should be worried much. The Pistons are known to play to the level of the competition. Since the East is better now (well, at least I think the C's and the Knicks are better off), maybe this is just what we need to keep the team on its toes.

Want to get published, but don't care to actually pen a full novel? Pinball Publishing might have a solution for you. The company combines the best of web-based technology and traditional printing processes to let people publish their own miniature books — everything from customized sketchpads to personalized recipe collections. And their signature product, a 32-page, customizable booklet, just sold its millionth unit.
Pinball Publishing was founded 10 years ago with a focus on traditional fare like haute couture business cards and gig posters. Having monitored an ongoing explosion of digital media, founder Laura Whipple decided to blend both worlds in a diminutive way. She explains, "We combined our ink and paper expertise with the changing nature of online communications to develop the perfect pocket-sized publishing format called the Scout Book."
Scout Books are 3.5-by-5-inch black-ink booklets covered with a semi-rigid cardstock that can be printed in one or two colors. Creators specify content for each page and publish a book, or slap a custom cover on a template to create a limited-edition journal.
Since its launch three years ago, wannabe Kerouacs and established companies alike have used the Scout Book platform in novel ways. The company posts some of the best creations on their site as case studies — showing the potential of the simple paper setup.
A few examples:
Election Design Field Guides: These guides came out of a Kickstarter campaign that aimed to give local election officials some design help in an effort to avoid a repeat of the "butterfly ballot" debacle that helped decide the presidential election back in 2000. Whipple says the project creators "chose the Scout Book format from the get-go because the small size forced the content to be succinct."
Threadless: The crowdsourced T-shirt giant repurposed some of their most popular designs into sketchbook covers, giving community members a palette to sketch up new designs.
Pocket Wires: An emerging interactive design firm created a pocket-sized wireframe tool for sketching iPhone apps on the go, and created a secondary revenue source by selling them at $5 a pop.
La Cocina: The hosts of a food festival created a "passport" to guide visitors around a San Francisco street festival and provided a place to record tasting notes.
Pielab Cookbook: A small pie restaurant in Greensboro, Alabama created a diminutive guide to their pies using the Scout Books format.
Whipple is obviously proud of her product, but is equally enthusiastic about the publishing process. She says, "Our goal was to augment the digital world with physical objects of lasting quality and usefulness. We created a simple ordering process that gives easy access into our Portland, OR based manufacturing. We print, bind and ship Scout Books using all American-made, 100 percent recycled papers and soy-based inks to our friends and clients worldwide."
Companies like Vistaprint and Moo have used print-on-demand technology to make gorgeous business cards affordable to the smallest of businesses, but Pinball Publishing gives tiny companies the power of the press. Blogs give any individual or organization a voice, but Whipple thinks print can do so much more, and says, "The more time we spend in an online world the more we crave interactions with a physical object. Also, print can be so beautiful. This is not an insignificant part of the appeal."

The Imbiber: Drink Like a Man
Wonder how your drink stacks up in the manliness quotient? Dan Dunn breaks it down.
I once knew a guy from South Philly named Denny Capriotti. He was a former Golden Gloves boxing champ turned, ahem, "collection agent." Everybody called him Knuckles. There were two certainties whenever you hit the town with Knuckles and his crew: 1) You were gonna get drunk, and 2) you were gonna get into a brawl. Sometimes we were the ones savagely beaten, but most of the time—due in large part to Knuckles's proficiency in the sweet science—the other guys got the worst of it.
I lost touch with Knuckles in my early 20s, around the time I realized my future lay in rearranging words, not faces. To this day, though, I still credit him with teaching me some extremely valuable lessons. He gave me pearls of wisdom like "never take a swing at someone when you're wearing a nice watch." He'd had too many bands break on him and wanted to spare me the pain. Another of his: "Never go bowling in shorts." This one I can't explain, but I know instinctively that it's true. And Knuckles gave me one more rule that has become one of the primary guiding principles of my close personal relationship with alcohol. To wit: "Drink like a fucking man, man!"
As it turns out, though, this extremely simple rule is not always so simple to follow. Where exactly do you draw the line when it comes to separating manly from metrosexual? Or separating metrosexual from something you might see Steven Cojocaru sipping at a Gaultier show after-party during Fashion Week? (And believe me we know, if you're the sort who might actually be at a Gaultier after-party during Fashion Week, then you don't need us to tell you how to drink.)
Sometimes it's simple. There are drinks that are impossible to sissify. Scotch rocks. Bourbon rocks. A Manhattan. Draft beer. Tequila shots. And then there are those calls that fall right on the line. For instance, from time to time I enjoy a premium vodka with soda water on the rocks with a squeeze of lime. It's refreshing, gets you drunk and isn't nearly as caloric as beer. Plus, I'd argue vodka is quintessential hard-guy hootch, the spirit of choice among Russian mobsters and burly professional hockey players with names like Vladimir and Uwe. However, others will tell you the high-priced vodka-soda-lime combo is better left to neutered yuppies and supermodels. Believe me, if Knuckles wanted to make an issue of it, I'd switch to Jameson in a hot minute.
But there are some rules for men's drinking that everyone can agree on. Such as the fact that it's never acceptable to order a cocktail the color of a Smurf (or any other Saturday morning cartoon character, for that matter). But even for that we need an exception. Namely, the frozen rum drink, which is acceptable if and only if you're on a beach or poolside in an exotic locale with a hot chick and she orders one too. Note, this applies to daiquiris only. Pina Coladas are the banana hammocks of tropical adult beverages. Just don't go there.
You see how complicated it becomes, and how quickly? Just in case, here's a chart.
There are a few easy ones, though, such as: Man shall consume no "tini" save a martini, the way God—and the Rat Pack—intended. And that means gin, bub. The vodka martini is the bastard child of Jay McInerny, the dotcom crash and bars with interior designers on call.
Then there's the delicate conundrum of how to handle a situation where a known badass—someone who could easily mop the floor with anyone in the room—orders off the swishy side of the drinks menu. Is it okay for the rest of us to follow suit, or does the Male Code of Conduct call for a potentially painful confrontation?
A few years back I found myself hunkered down with Sugar Ray Leonard on a Saturday night in a private booth at a Las Vegas nightclub. Though the legendary boxer had not fought professionally in quite some time, he appeared to be in tip-top shape—or at least in good enough shape to beat the pants off a mouthy out-of-shape booze writer. So it was with a fair amount of trepidation that I called him out on what I observed to be some surprisingly lightweight drinking habits.
"No mas!" I shouted, harking back to Ray's most memorable encounter with Roberto Duran. I was referring to the Cape Codders he kept ordering (for the record, it's the cranberry juice, not the vodka, that makes it girly).
"What's wrong with Cape Codders? I really enjoy them," Ray replied, instantly topping my list of Top 10 Things I Never Thought I'd Hear a Guy Who Kicked Marvin Hagler's Ass Say.
"You're one of the toughest fighters of all time, man. You should be drinking something harder than Cape Codders! Can I interest you in a Rusty Nail, perhaps?" I instinctively looked at his watch and was relieved to find he was wearing a top of the line Movado. Still, I feared it was only a matter of time before the words "Shirley Temple" came out of the mouth of the guy who once TKO'd Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns. Who knew what would happen after that.
"Well," Sugar Ray said thoughtfully as our waitress sized me up for my casket, "I like Cabernet too. Two glasses?"
Relief washed over as I recalled something else Knuckles told me a long, long time ago. "Real Men do drink wine… but only red, and only on Sundays." I peered over at Ray's Movado. Half-past midnight. In the clear. We ordered a bottle and polished it off like champs. Good thing for him, too. I've got a killer right hook I like to follow with my cower-in-the-corner-and-beg-for-mercy.

That's just very classy Owen. I know I hardly post celebrity dicks on here so my apologies to the ladies if you don't really get to gaze at this dude's pecker. But from the length and width of that censor bar, it doesn't look like there's a lot to gaze at.

Ok folks I have a bit of a delema that I can't decided the proper route to go on.
So here it is, I am putting the finnishing touches on my pre-pro2 costume it's all done but a few last little touches. I had one of the MLC1 jet packs that i painted in the ROTJ scheme because it's a more weathered better looking jet pack, I was very happy with it and everyone else seemed to like it as well. Now recentally after MLC said he was updating his jet pack I sold my old one and I just recieved my brand new MLC v.2 jet pack (which is awesome by the way). Now the delema should I paint it ROTJ just because it looks better or should I go 100% accurate and do the less cool looking brighter pre-pro2 jet pack?
I am looking for your opnions on this one not the usual do what ever I like better answer (only because I can't decide). Part of me wants to paint the ROTJ version just because it looks better (its colors are a little less bright and it is more weathered) but the other part of me wants to do the pre-pro2 version to go with the rest of my costume. Yes I know it doesn't really matter as most people won't know the difference but I will and you folks will.
Oh and I need an diffinative answer soon because I have to get it painted by dragoncon and it will drive me nuts sitting around my house in all of it's silver glory.

About this Bachelor's Degree
Today is an exciting time to study biology. The last half-century has witnessed unprecedented breakthroughs in genetics, cellular biology and neuroscience, as well as critical advances in understanding the environment around us.
The Department of Biological Sciences, one of the largest academic units at The University of Southern Mississippi, provides high-quality education through programs of instruction and research in basic biomedical science, ecology and environmental biology, microbiology and marine biology.
We offer two baccalaureate degrees, both available on the Hattiesburg and Gulf Park campuses: the Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences, where a student has the option of emphasizing in coursework in any one of several areas of study, including teacher licensure; and the Bachelor of Science degree in marine biology.
Most undergraduates interested in pre-health professions—such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, veterinary medicine or occupational therapy--choose to major in biological sciences for at least two reasons:
- their inherent interest in the life sciences
- a curriculum that prepares them for competitive entry into professional school.
We offer an MCAT Preparation course (BSC 399), the early results of which point to an increase in MCAT scores and higher acceptance rate.
Student Learning Outcomes / Program Objectives
- Students will gain content knowledge such that they can obtain employment consistent with their interest in the biological sciences, and/or pursue professional school/graduate education, or be satisfied that the degree met other personal objectives.
- Students will demonstrate technical skills consistent with their major.
- Students will exhibit effective skills in scientific writing and oral communication of scientific information.
- Students will develop an understanding of the scientific process.
- Students will acquire broad-based content knowledge of Biology, namely: Understanding the characteristics that unite living organisms; understanding diversity of life; understanding the similarities and differences among organisms, i.e., systematics; understanding the relationship between structure and function at all levels of organization; understanding the physical and chemical properties of organisms and processes that occur in living things; understanding the cellular basis of life; understanding the nature and function of the gene and the flow of genetic information in the cell, the organism, and the population; understanding homeostatic control mechanisms that allow organisms to respond to changes in the internal and external environment; understanding the interdependence and interrelationships among organisms and between organisms and their environment; understanding the origin of life and the process of evolution; understanding the historical background leading to contemporary views on major biological topics and awareness of the dynamic processes of scientific inquiry.

The government's ability to seize land for a public purpose strikes terror into the hearts of many landowners. This has been a bigger fear since 2005 when the United States Supreme Court, in its Kelo decision, allowed land to be seized by the government to benefit a private developer.
This year, the Cianbro corporation's CEO, Peter Vigue, has been making headway with his proposal for a corporate-developed and -owned, 220-mile, 2000-foot-wide East-West Highway and "communications and utility corridor" crossing Maine from Calais to Coburn Gore. A major selling point is how it supposedly won't involve the taxpayers, except in the tolls that trucks, tourists, and Maine residents will pay to the owner to travel on it.
But Vigue may be looking to the public to help him in many ways — with cash, with its legal muscle, and by shrouding plans for the highway in secrecy.
Already Vigue has gotten taxpayers to chip in. He recently got the Legislature and Republican Governor Paul LePage to assign $300,000 of the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) current budget to an East-West Highway feasibility study, for the purpose of attracting investors. The department and LePage are unconcealed cheerleaders for the project.
Other taxpayer dollars clearly would be needed if the highway were to be constructed, including a big new federal border crossing at Coburn Gore in Maine's western mountains. Canadian taxpayers would be asked to significantly upgrade the 60-mile road from the border to Sherbrooke, where the expressway to Montreal begins.
And now it turns out that Vigue is keeping open the possibility of state government aiding him in a crucial way — by confiscating land for the highway.
In an April 24 interview at a Canadian-American "Economic Integration in the Northeast" conference at the University of Maine, in Orono, Vigue told the Phoenix that, while eminent domain is "not a consideration now," he "can't forecast going forward" whether it would be used or not.
Similarly, the MDOT said, in the words of Ted Talbot, its spokesman, that while the department hopes it wouldn't be necessary, eminent domain remains "a last choice."
Eminent domain, however, is "an explosive reality" for the highway, said Peter Didisheim, a lobbyist for the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM), the state's most prominent environmental group and a highway opponent.
"How else," asked Didisheim, "would you secure and guarantee that the corridor would be available for this massive purpose — unless the state seizes that vast stretch of property, potentially affecting hundreds of property owners?"
A nearly-half-mile-wide, 220-mile-long corridor through Maine would directly occupy 53,333 acres or about 83 square miles. The history of far smaller real-estate developments is rife with tales of people who refused to sell at any price. And the exercise of eminent domain can be thorny. Although property owners whose land is taken by the government are supposed to be paid fair compensation, determining what's fair can trigger extensive court battles.
Eminent domain is referred to in a little-known law, Title 23, Section 4251, of the state statutes, that the Legislature approved in 2010. It establishes a template for a "public-private partnership" for transportation purposes. Designed for the kind of project Vigue is promoting, it passed without opposition, roll-call votes, or news-media coverage.

Zeuge auf Abrahams Spuren:
WM-Kampf in Wetzlar gegen Paul Smith!
Auf dem Weg zur WM:
Feigenbutz will sich von Nemesapati nicht aufhalten lassen!
Sylvester outpoints Lorenzo
"Hurricane" clinches King Arthur´s IBF Middleweight Title
Sebastian Sylvester is the new IBF Middleweight Champion! With a truly energetic performance, the man from Greifswald secured himself the vacant IBF Middleweight title on Saturday night. In front of a sell-out crowd of 5,000 packed inside the Jahnsportforum in Neubrandenburg, the 29-year-old defeated the IBF World Rankings number one Giovanni Lorenzo from the Dominican Republic on a points' verdict.
Both fighters went straight at each other from the bell with Lorenzo making the better start, attacking his opponent with his jab. Rafael Farrait's pupil increasingly showed the strength in his punch, but he was unable to land any telling blows since his opponent was very closed and secure in his defence. Sylvester, who picked up a cut to the head in the first round, tried to pick up points with punches to the body.
"I kind of slept a little in the first two or three rounds," admitted the 'Hurricane'. "The injury came when we clashed heads and that happened a few times in the fight. But I did not let it knock me off course and I started to get into gear more from the end of the third round." Karsten Röwer's pupil could not have been more right with his assessment as it was from the fourth round at the latest that he really turned things around with the support from the crowd reaching a crescendo.
His jabs became harder and more precise and his right hand was causing problems with many body shots. His punches may not have always hit the desired target, but the higher frequency of the local fighter from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was causing Lorenzo enough problems. The 28-year-old fighter, who lives in New York, was unable to endanger his opposite number. In fact, quite the opposite can be said: Sylvester became more and more assured and the best actions were all his.
At the start of the eighth round, Lorenzo tried to surprise Röwer's pupil with furious attacks to the body. But Sylvester kept all the doors closed and Lorenzo's efforts went unrewarded. The 'Hurricane' hit back powerfully too and his right hand long fist hit the mark, and this inspired the fans into a party atmosphere and heralded the victory celebrations. The fans called for "one more blow" to be landed, and Sylvester obliged, landing more regular and clear punches.
Sebastian Sylvester proved he was still wide awake and in top condition in the closing stages too. "I knew from the ninth round that I was going to win," he revealed. "It was clear to me that, as long as I did not receive any more unnecessary hard blows, then I would become World Champion." And the crowd realised that too. Their now customary shrills of "how beautiful it is" emanated around the forum like they had in the German's first two fights inside the Jahnsportforum.
Yet Lorenzo did not want to accept defeat so easily. In the final three minutes, he tried with all his might to turn things around, but the 'lucky punch' remained elusive so that Sylvester was able to register a 116-112, 115-113, 111-116 win. "I cannot understand the judge who ruled against me, but to be honest, I don't care if I win 2-1 or 3-0," he said at the press conference afterwards. "Bayern Munich only beat Nurnberg 2-1 too. The main thing is that I am now the IBF World Champion."

At least it's not a night game. Don't like waiting. Have they said anything g at all about Nicks other than he's not playing?
This is laughable. The guys a professional athlete, you don't damage your knee by over compensating on one leg to relieve stress from your opposite foot. That is not how he aggravated his foot. It already came out he damaged his knee on the fall he took during that incomplete throw in the 4th quarter of the Bucs game. What people don't know and the Giants aren't saying is that he partially tore his PCL.
If you look at the fall, its the exact motion required to cause a PCL tear...forceful impact to the knee while knee is at or close to a 90 degree angle. That being said, I have an extremely reliable source who has kept me updated on this situation. From what he's told me, they're hopeful Nicks can return after the 49ers game. Partially torn PCL's usually take around 4-5 weeks to heal. The good thing is his foot should be 100% by the time he returns.
LMFAO. so my opinion, which came from ralph v who said its what the giants are telling him is laughable, but u can be an armchair dr and tell he tore something by TV??????????????? hahahahah i **** my pants.
also, lets look at this logically. nicks will miss his 3rd game this next one. we are super thin at wr. IF the giants knew he had a torn acl/mcl/pcl, WHY WOULDNT THEY IR HIM?????
we could have used an additional wr each week he's missed. the giants would have IR'd him. also, do ppl thnk the giants DIDNT have tests done on his knee? of course they did, and they haven't IR'd him, especially when we're going into games 4 wr deep.
i swear some people just dont have functioning brains. the giants have already said the knee issue arose from resting his foot and then going full bore gameday, at least according to ralph vacciano. i take his word oer urs all offense
A partially torn PCL takes 4-5 weeks to heal, that's why he isn't on IR. Simple logic. I didn't make an "armchair dr" assesment from watching it on tv. I was told what his status was from a family member of the ownership. Small difference there I'd say.
yeah sorry. buddy's going around putting us in last and nicks on IR, has me jumpy.
I just dont know how accurate your source is. Ralph V is the teams beat writer. he reported on ESPN Radio last night that the giants believe the swelling happened bc he was rehabbing his foot, and not using his foot (therefore knee) at all for a week, then going full bore in an NFL game led to the aggravation. you really dont think that that could aggravate his knee? i played sports up until i graduated college and I can tell u my body sure acted up if i went all week without training/activity to full out on game day...
ralph v said the giants are targeting hs return for SF
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch

Recent studies show drinking milk enhances the cognitive brain activity of dairy consumers.
We've heard the time-tested slogan "Milk, it does a body good!" Well, new research from the University of Maine can add "Milk, it does a brain good, too!"
Nature's perfect food has been shown to provide essential nutrients to the diets of young children and adults. Examples include protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin, Vitamin A, vitamin D, and Vitamin B12. These nutrients have provided health benefits such as building strong bones, and reducing the levels of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
Research was conducted by University of Maine psychologist/epidemiologist Merrill "Pete" Elias and psychologists Michael Robbins and Gregory Dore. They collaborated with a researcher at the University of South Australia, as well. Studies were conducted on 972 men and women between the ages of 23 and 98. These individuals underwent a series of tests to evaluate their brains' abilities. There was a series of tasks including memory challenges and concentration tests.
The studies showed that those drinking at least one glass of milk per day were more successful in the tasks and scored higher on tests. This applied to all age ranges. In some tests, adults who rarely consumed dairy products were five times more likely to fail compared with those who had dairy products even just two to four times a week. This study was published in the International Dairy Journal.
The study also took into consideration other factors that could adversely affect brain health (poor diet and heart health). In all eight tasks, the highest scores went to those with the highest intake of milk and dairy products. Coincidence? We think not.
This type of mental evaluation of milk drinkers had not been done before. Previous research focused on the physical benefits of milk, such as stronger bones, lower blood pressure, lowering type 2 diabetes, and improving heart health.
USDA's MyPlate recommendation of three servings of dairy per day demonstrates the value that milk needs to play in a healthy diet. And with milk's unique ingredient combination, it is the top source for three of the most underconsumed nutrients (calcium, vitamin D, and potassium). With new and emerging brain benefits to milk consumption, coupled with the obvious physical health advantages, consumers of all ages can take advantage of both the body and mind enhancements milk and dairy products can add to their lives.

We've made appearances at countless health fairs and festivals over the years, but you never really know what's going to happen until the event actually starts. Fortunately, yesterday's Highway to Health Festival, which was produced by HealthCorps, was one of the best we've ever attended.
Thanks to Joe, Liz, Howard, and Shana, the Punk Rope booth was hopping all day. Since the event took place at South Street Seaport, we had the pleasure of teaching rope jumping to a large number of tourists, as well as locals. The broad jump mat (see photo below) was a big hit with kids of all ages including those over 50. People love immediate feedback and it doesn't get more immediate than looking down to see how far you jumped. One of the highlights of the day was turning the long rope for our friend, Adam, the founder of Just One Wheel. What made it especially cool was that Adam was jumping over the rope while on a unicycle!
The Punk Rope demo on the main stage featured rousing renditions of Olé by the Bouncing Souls and Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones. And the day concluded with a raucous competition under the tent. Events included crossing, double unders, spoons, long rope, "pull it together" (3-person squat), standing broad jump, and push-ups. Four lucky folks received pairs of Ropix rope jumping shoes and we also gave away some jump ropes, T-shirts, and DVDs.Leave a comment

Hi Micheal,
My current problem is major wax moth damage. I'm not sure how boiling (or heating) will work on this, but I hope it helps.
If you have wax and such. The water bath will melt it all out. You will be left with a frame that has a light coat of wax on it and the wires (if you have wires?). Once in a while bit of slum. But is scrapes right off. Hint: the frames scrape real quick if do them right after they come out. But this is only practical for small amounts or if you can get a helper.
I really don't want to buy new frames nor do I want to build new frames.
Micheal I have processed 1000's of frames. It will work. But to tighten wires back up so you don't have to re-wire you should really get a wire crimper there about $10 bucks or so from brushy mountain. In about 5 seconds the frame is tightened back up like new. Your frames won't be ruined either. I can only vouch for the way I do it.

text: Ok, his foot is obviously not healing as fast as we all had hoped. Look at how long it took Prince to get back last year and even then it bothered him. Now his knee is an issue big enough to make him miss 3 games now. So you think it's magically going to get better with a little rest. It said the doctors HOPE it helps. Hey, so do I, but Nicks will probably need a long period of rest and probably some treatment for that knee.
