After the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, over a billion dollars in aid was promised to the struggling island. The world stepped up, empathized and donated. Yet much of the funds pledged to post-quake relief for has not been received for redevelopment and very little has been done to rebuild.
Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and one of the oldest republics in the Western Hemisphere, a cultural and historical gem. But why did it take over 5 decades for the US government to recognize the free black nation of Haiti? Why has the aid promised to Haiti by international aid agencies, not reached the Haitian public? Why has the US sponsored coup de tats against Haiti's democratically elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide? The world has turned its focus away and promises to the Haitians are unfulfilled.
Explore these issues with us as we learn how the island nation struggles to rebuild. From the health care crises (like cholera and malaria), to the need for true democracy to return to Haiti. This delegation explores the rich Haitian culture, in the backdrop of its bitter colonial and neocolonial struggles for freedom and sovereignty.
The delegation highlights the amazing agency of a few every day heroes, standing up in the face of incredible odds, in addition to looking at the real social and economic needs of the nation. In partnership with Haiti Action Committee, we will explore the rich culture of Haiti, be inspired by community development efforts, and support local community development projects as you travel with us to Haiti!

[quote user="bigblue4417"]Speak of the devil...

The Sixers have inquired about Amare Stoudemire, a source tells CSN Philadelphia.

With the Knicks in the tank and Stoudemire
struggling, trade rumors are going to come up. It's almost certainly
just "due diligence" on the part of Rod Thorn. The Sixers aren't going
to give up their promising young core plus draft picks for a $100
million man with a history of knee issues.
Why would they dump this Superstar if he is so good for anyone besides Dwight? Remind you Pau doesn't come up in any trade rumors EVER unless it's for Dwight or CP3 or another "superstar".
cuz he doesn't fit with Chandler and Melo and those are the two other superstars, it will never work.
And why does somebody ELSE inquiring about Amare somehow make your point that he isn't a highly desired guy?
My question is, why does nobody inquire about getting Gasol?

Twenty years ago, Clarke Ching fell in love with programming. Then he got a job doing just that and fell out of love within five years. Fifteen years later, Clarke sought the help of a well-known programmer for advice on how to rekindle his dormant passion for programming. The advice Clarke received led to a greater discovery.
I was working on a COBOL credit-card system that was older than I was. I'd gone from a world where I excelled to one where it was difficult to be anything other than average. Five years or so I worked as a programmer in different languages and different environments until eventually I admitted it: My love affair with programming was over.
Since then I've worked as a manager, analyst, consultant, and author. But you know what? Fifteen years later, I still love programming. And I miss it. A few months ago, I decided to do something about it. I asked Andy Hunt—a guy whom I think of as a programmer's programmer—if and how I could learn to code again. He knew that I didn't want to write code professionally. I just wanted to get my hands dirty for a little while to see if I still "got it." In the process, I also hoped to understand my programmer friends a little more than I currently did. Andy suggested learning Ruby. He also recommended reading "Learn to Program" by Chris Pine.
Ruby is an interpreted programming language that runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac (and probably a few other operating systems as well). It's an easy language to set up (it's pre-installed on Macs), and it's really easy to learn compared to most programming languages. Ruby is also free, which never hurts, and it's used commercially as well. Within thirty minutes of downloading the book, I had set up Ruby, written, and executed my first program. The program added 1 and 2 together then wrote the answer to the screen. If you are wondering, the answer was 3, not "Hello World."
Now, this probably sounds daft to you since you weren't there, but I was delighted with myself when I saw the number 3 come up on the screen. For a brief but pleasant moment, I thought to myself, "I've still got it!" If you feel even the merest pang of envy, then why not grab your nearest, friendly programmer and ask him to help you download and install Ruby. Then fire up a text editor and type in "puts 1 + 2", save the file as myprog.rb, run it from the command line and see what happens. You could probably manage this without a programmer, but if it makes it easier, then why not ask for help?
I originally learned to code using languages like Pascal, Modula-2, and C. Things have changed a lot since then. The world's gone all object-oriented, for a start, and according to my developer friends, a whole lot more complicated with Java and C# and their enormous libraries. But, did you see how short myprog.rb was? That's why Ruby is a good choice for learning or relearning programming. It is short, simple, and to the point. As a developer friend put it, you type less but get more done.

Rosa Sheveleva's 6-triple free skate (5th in that segment):
I love the quality of her jumps, and her basics, power and flow are all good. If she can work on getting her spins and consistency up, she'll be a world beater. Her skating is really appealing, IMO. Nice expression, too.
Last edited by oleada; 01-01-2011 at 04:07 AM.
I actually think Rosa has more potential than all of the Polinas - she has better jumps and jump technique, as well as very nice expression. She just needs to be more consistent and skate two reasonably clean programs in a competition.

When does the Junior competition begin at the Russian Nationals?
They are separate competitions. Junior Nationals is not until February.
How odd to have it that late.
I still can't believe all the talent here. When your 9th ranked female skater landed a clean, fully rotated, correct edge 3Lutz-3Toe in both the SP and LP...yeah, that's a crazy deep National field.
It doesn't give much time to make alterations or rest before Worlds, however.

Last weekend was the third annual Swashbuckler's Ball in Portland, Oregon, held by PDXYAR and The Dread Ship Outrageous Fortune. (Despite the name, more than one swashbuckler was in attendance.) I was invited to attend by the folks of PDXYAR — you may remember them from my Geek Night Out with Marian Call and The Doubleclicks. The Ball is a benefit party — some of it helps to keep the Portland Pirate Festival afloat, but they also pick a charity each year. This year proceeds went to DoveLewis, a local emergency animal hospital. Continue Reading "The Swashbuckler's Ball" »

It's come to this. I'm indulging today in posting what just might be the "fiiiive goooolllld riiiiiings!" equivalent to my most beloved personal favorites when it comes to this addition to the 12 Days of J-Pop Christmas countdown, the wonderful, white Christmas-y 「雪が降る町」(or perhaps "Snow Town" for a blunt translation) by late 80's/early 90's Japanese pop/rock unit Unicorn. This song isn't necessarily a Christmas song, but something more of a New Year's jam replete nostalgic lyrics fed by an emotional current moated with eddies of loss and regret, the kind of feelings a winter home-coming begets. Depending on how it gets to you, that feeling alone is Christmas-ish enough to warrant inclusion here. Also, there's snow!
It's no wonder the song begins with a lyric indicating a dislike for going out among the the holiday crowds, the city boy opting instead for an "over the river and though the woods" type of getaway to his down-home backwoods beginnings with the knowledge that snow is already falling there "again this year". He ponders getting a souvenir for his sweetheart and then contemplates the few remaining days in the year before adopting something of a fuck it, it's the end of the year attitude, reveling in the simpler times realness of the postcard perfect country snowscape.
Maybe it's because I always get a little homesick around this time of year, maybe I'm swimming against my own emotional currents and eddies linked to Christmases past. Maybe, just maybe I'm overdoing it a bit, but I like I said up top I'm indulging myself today. :p

Raise your glasses and toast the financial genius who — without increasing taxes, cutting services or employing accounting gimmicks — solved Maine's budget crisis.
I humbly thank you. Allow me to offer refills, so you can toast me again. Don't worry about the cost. After all, it was by getting the liquor flowing that I restored the state's general fund to liquidity.
It was simple, really. I discovered that Maine had been running its alcoholic-beverage operations about as effectively as Tiger Woods managed his social life. The state was practically begging neighboring New Hampshire to steal our booze business, and the Granite State was obliging. In the last fiscal year, New Hampshire turned a profit on its state-run liquor stores of more than $120 million. Their hooch honchos estimated that half that cash came from out-of-staters, with Maine accounting for almost $20 million, according to a knowledgeable industry source.
That's just the profit we lost. The total sales were much greater.
No wonder. Maine's wholesale and retail prices were being set by brainless bureaucrats, who apparently missed economics class the day they took up the concept of competition. Nobody ever explained to them that if consumers can buy the same thing cheaper elsewhere, they will.
And there was no question New Hampshire was selling liquor for a lot less than Maine. I randomly selected 20 products from this state's December list of alcoholic-beverages specials and comparison shopped for the same bottles in Portsmouth.
The result: Only one item was a better deal in Maine. In two cases, New Hampshire's regular price was the same as Maine's sale price. But in 17 instances (that's 85 percent), New Hampshire was the winner. From high-end cognacs to low-rent coffee brandies, the savings were significant. The average difference on my 20 items came to over three bucks a bottle.
Remember, that's comparing our sale prices to their regular prices. No wonder millions of our hard-earned dollars went south.
To add insult to injury, New Hampshire was also the place to buy Maine's liquor of choice: Allen's Coffee Brandy. Allen's is the largest selling brand in this state's booze outlets, but it was a much better deal across the border. A 750-milliliter bottle of the stuff went for $10.99 here (that's the non-sale price) and $7.49 there. The 1.75-liter size was an even bigger bargain. In Maine, it was $19.99; in New Hampshire, just $15.99.
There were, of course, still some reasons to buy liquor here at home. Desperation, for instance. When you ran dry on a Saturday night, you paid whatever it took to save the weekend. There was also the issue of legality. It was against the law to bring more than one bottle back from New Hampshire. By my calculations, roughly 10 percent of this state's residents were obeying that statute. Mostly people who didn't drink.
Here's how I managed to recoup all that lost revenue and save the state. I went to see officials at Maine Beverage Co., the entity that in 2004 was granted a 10-year monopoly on the state's wholesale liquor business for a fraction of the money Maine would have made if it had hung onto it. I got its executives drunk ("Have some more Chivas Regal. Can you believe it's $4 a bottle cheaper in New Hampshire?") and convinced them to end the deal early.

I am a digital journalist for New Jersey 101.5FM. I began working with the station in 2007 as a morning news producer (I don't miss the 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. schedule) until my shift into the field. This job is always full of surprises; I never know where I'll be headed to next. In fall 2016 alone, I've covered the chase for the alleged NJ/NY bomber and received a behind-the-scenes look at Ocean County's High Tech Crime Unit. Likes: Dave Matthews Band, stand-up comedy, binge-watching TV. Dislikes: Being a lefty, seafood, germs.

Record-setting Trees
- One of the tallest soft wood trees is the General Sherman, a giant redwood sequoia of California. General Sherman is about 275 ft or 84 m high with a girth of 25 ft or 8 m.
- The 236 ft or 72 m high Ada Tree of Australia has a 50 ft or 15.4 m girth and a root system that takes up more than an acre.
- The world's tallest tree is a coast redwood in California, measuring more than 360 ft or 110 m.
- The world's oldest trees are 4,600 year old Bristlecone pines in the USA.
Trees and the Environment
- Trees renew our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
- The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually. One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year.
- One acre of trees removes up to 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
- Shade trees can make buildings up to 20 degrees cooler in the summer.
- Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.
- Tree roots stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
- Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water, as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.
- The cottonwood tree seed is the seed that stays in flight the longest. The tiny seed is surrounded by ultra-light, white fluff hairs that can carry it on the air for several days.

This is part one of a continuing series this weekend that will set to define A-D list and the people in the public eye and how they should be defined. Before getting to specific individuals this is a general overview on lists.
The big problem is that careers are always in flux and things that hold true
when a blind is written or a description of an actor might not be the case when
it is read years later. Back in 2008 I wrote Kirsten Dunst was an A lister. Is
she now? Nope. I think since the site started there have been changes in
television with the advent of sites like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon producing original content. Should those be
given less weight because they are not on network television?
point where I consider them a genre unto their own. If I call someone an A list
reality star it does not mean they are an A lister in the true sense of the
word. There is a hierarchy and what I wrote back in 2008 about the true A
listers is still what I believe today.
film all by themselves. When I say mainstream, I mean a film that opens in the
1000+ screen category. I think that is the one true measurement of whether
someone is A list or not. The question should be, am I interested in going to
see this movie because so and so is in it and I don't care what the movie is
Jay-Z, who is an A+ list celebrity and should not be at the bottom of the list.
You could refer to him as a musician and because that is a talent should be
moved higher in the list and leave celebrities to someone like Paris Hilton or
Courtney Stodden.
the list because they generally get paid the most. Brad Pitt makes more per
movie than Ashton Kutcher gets for an entire season on Two And A Half Men. It's
close, but Brad wins. Plus, the Academy Awards are watched by people all over
the world and Emmy Awards, not so much. A popular television show in the US
might not be popular in the rest of the world but a movie generally has more
appeal worldwide.
entertainment people last year. She is known worldwide and has a skill other
than just being famous. You might not like her or her music, but that is not
the point when defining the list. There are lots of people I dislike, but you
have to recognize where they rank in things.
Entertainer. This would cover people in the musical fields some stand up
comedians and even DJ's like Tiesto and athletes. They are all entertainers. In
the hierarchy I would still place them beneath movies but above network
television. The actors on television shows who make as much as the highest paid
entertainers are few and far between.
reserved for those who are not a participant in any of the other categories. Kevin
Federline is a great example. With the exception of a couple of visits to
reality shows he is someone who is famous because he is famous. He married
Britney Spears and has been famous since. Other than producing babies at a
prolific rate he has no other skill so makes the perfect "celebrity." So, you
ask, how would you classify Paris Hilton? She has been an entertainer. She has
been in movies. She has been on reality shows.
appeared on multiple reality shows and is currently a B list celebrity we all
love to hate. I would skip the singing part because I like to forget about it
and the more narrow you make a description, the easier the blind is to figure
out. There has to be some guessing.
brief look at each of the categories and break them down further.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
UW Tuition Freeze Should Continue
University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross announced this week the tuition freeze approved by the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) as part of the 2013-2015 state budget will likely continue two additional years. When the UW System was discovered to have amassed more than $650 million cash reserves while increasing tuition, I joined my colleagues on the JFC moving too quickly freeze tuition. I applaud President Cross' decision to continue the tuition freeze.

God Bless pregnant Jenna Dewan Tatum! The expectant star made looking stylish at the Oscars so effortless. She wasn't the only pregnant one to hit the red carpet... There I am with Shaun Robinson, "Fashion Star's" Louise Roe, and Susan Moore.
Of course, I'm sure Jenna had loads of designers wanting to dress her. Obviously, I did not have that luxury! Ha ha!
PLAY IT NOW: Oscars 2013: Style Report Card
I wore a grey pleated dress that I also wore to a wedding in October. Somehow "recyling your wardrobe" sounds so much more chic when Kate Middleton or Michelle Obama does it, right?
I was just excited to get the dress to zip up over my ever-growing belly. (Yay, I'm 20 weeks -- halfway there!). I broke out my black glittery Jimmy Choo heels that I bought for last year's Oscars and then borrowed a beautiful sparkly J. Crew statement necklace, bag and wrap from our wardrobe team at the show.

Somehow I cobbled a look together that even received a compliment or two. One fashion expert with his own TV show asked if my gown was Lanvin. Ha! Maybe he was just taking pity on a five months pregnant woman standing on her feet for hours, but still, how much do I love him for that?
Actually, my dress is from Zara and cost $89! Sure, I was no Jennifer Lawrence or Kerry Washington in some fancy designer dress, but not too bad for a pregnant girl with no "red carpet" budget, if I do say so myself.

The CallPlus Business Centre at 110 Symonds St, one of the largest commercial office buildings on Auckland CBD's Symonds St ridge, has sold for $26 million.
The 8788sq m distinctive tower block on 1852sq m of land, has been sold by Southside Group to South Island-based investor First NZ Properties, which purchased the property to replace Ernst & Young House in Christchurch, following that building's demolition because of earthquake damage.
Gordon Gibson, of Bayleys Manukau office who marketed the property in conjunction with Bayleys Real Estate's executive director David Bayley, says it sold at an 8.8 per cent yield on its net annual rental income of $2.3 million.
The building has three levels of basement parking for 167 vehicles and 10 levels of commercial space above in two wings, with floor areas of 602sq m and 324sq m.
The property has 16 tenants, with the anchor occupant being telecommunications company CallPlus/Slingshot. The building was completed in 1988 as the head office for NZ Forest Products, then one of New Zealand's largest companies.
Bayley says it was one of the better quality buildings constructed in a surge of office developments that came on to the market in the mid- to late 1980s.
"Southside have also invested considerably in totally modernising the internal amenities to ensure the building competes with other A-grade listed stock in the city," Bayley says.
All nine floors of office space, and the ground floor of retail space leased to Sierra Cafe, have been upgraded under Southside's ownership over the past six years. The tower's ducted air-conditioning unit has also undergone a $300,000 upgrade.

Does anyone know of any plants that are harmful to bees? I heard that jasmine in harmful but are there any others?
Does anyone know of any plants that are harmful to bees? I heard that jasmine in harmful but are there any others?
Rhododendron. I don't have any around here that I know of.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Carolina Jasmine to be particular. I have it around me some, have not seen dead bees. I have also heard of something called summer tai-tai (sounds like Thai, I do not know the spelling) that interferes with summertime reproduction. Also anything that has been sprayed with micro encapsulated pesticides.
There are two types of titi (pronounced with two long i's). I believe they are totally unrelated plants. Spring titi makes good honey. Summer titi apparently has no effect on adult bees but can cause something called "purple brood". This is a link to an old newsletter that talks to it a little.
I kept bees for several years in the Florida panhandle, but I never experienced any purple brood although one old-timer there said that he has seen it on occasion, but not often.

Jennifer Carino, Committed to the Cause
14th November, 2012 - Posted by Corey Hill - 1 Comment
This week we are thanking and recognizing the people who make Global Exchange's work possible. We're highlighting a few individuals who represent the thousands who make up the amazing global network of change makers.
In this post, we thank Global Exchange Monthly Sustainer (GEMS) Jennifer Carino. To read about others we're thankful for, click here.
Jennifer Carino, Committed to the Cause
When Jennifer Carino stopped working at Global Exchange in 1998, she knew that she wanted to continue her support for an organization that had grown near and dear to her heart. She was less confident, however, that she would remember to mail in her donation once a year.
So she became a Global Exchange Monthly Sustainer (GEMS). Every month, her donation is made automatically by credit card. Computers, as it turns out, aren't all that forgetful.
We don't mind licking a few less envelopes either. Monthly givers like Jennifer help reduce overhead by eliminating many mailing and outreach costs, allowing more of her donation to go towards our programmatic work.
More of each dollar goes towards crafting local ordinances to safeguard against corporate harm. More of each dollar goes toward stopping lobbyists from hijacking our democracy. More of each dollar goes toward ending the drug war and human rights abuses in Mexico. More of each dollar goes towards communities, farmers, towards realigning our global social and economic order to meet the needs of people and ecosystems, not corporate shareholders.
Not to mention, fewer mailings means less paper, so giving monthly is more sustainable. Over 250 people give each month, just like Jennifer.
So Jennifer Carino and all of our GEMS, for allowing us to focus on the work that matters most (and for saving us a few stamps)…
Thank you.
P.S. Have you watched our new Thank You video yet?

Chapter 1 Summary
Writing is now a sin, and thinking or doing something alone is the worst imaginable sin. No one may write without the permission of the Council of Vocations, and there is no other movement in the dark tunnel. It is against the law to be alone anymore, ever, for this is the root of all evil; and he has broken many laws.
He stole the candle from the storeroom of the Home of the Street Sweepers; if he is caught, he will spend ten years in the Palace of Corrective Detention. His name is Equality 7-2521. That is what is written on the iron bracelet that every man wears on his left wrist. He is twenty-one years old and six feet tall, something very few others are. Teachers and Leaders always point him out as having evil in his bones because his body has grown more than any of his brothers. Equality 7-2521 was born with a curse: he always has had forbidden thoughts and wishes that others do not have.
All men must be the same. Above the doors of the Palace of the World Council are ancient words that men often recite: "We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One indivisible and forever." The World Council has been the home of all truth since the Great Rebirth. Thinking about the times before the Great Rebirth is punishable by three years in the Palace of Corrective Detention.
The Old Ones living in the Home of the Useless whisper about such things as the evil Unmentionable Times—wagons that moved without horses and lights that burned without flame. Those times have been absorbed into the Great Truth that "all men are one and that there is no will save the will of all men together."
All other men are good and wise; only Equality 7-2521 is cursed. Born in the Home of Infants, Equality 7-2521 lived there with all the other children of the City until he was five. His greatest crime was fighting with his brothers, and Equality 7-2521 was locked in the cellar for committing this offense. He was sent to the Home of Students (a hundred beds and stark white walls, with all movements regulated by bells), where he had to progress...
(The entire section is 860 words.)
Chapter 2 Summary
Equality 7-2521 has noticed Liberty 5-3000 and thinks of her above all others. He wants to write her name, barely whispering it in the dark emptiness of the tunnel.
The women who live at the Home of the Peasants work the land. The Home for Peasants is located on a road five miles outside of the City, and the Street Sweepers have to keep the road clean up to the first mile-marker. The road is lined with a hedge, and beyond the hedge are the fields where the women wearing white tunics work. When Equality 7-2521 first sees Liberty 5-3000, he feels pain and fear for the first time. He stands perfectly still so that he "might not spill this pain more precious than pleasure." He hears someone call her name (which is how he learns it) and watches her walk away, white tunic moving in the wind.
The next day, Equality 7-2521 watches her again in the field. This happens for many days, and he thinks Liberty 5-3000 is watching him as well. One day Liberty 5-3000 comes close to the hedge and suddenly turns to him. She stands "still as a stone" and looks at him with a taut, unsmiling face and dark eyes before turning and walking away. The next day, however, Liberty 5-3000 smiles at Equality 7-2521, and he smiles back at her. The glance is short, but he feels as if her hand has caressed him.
Every morning from then on, the couple greets one another with their eyes. It is against the law for people of different Trades to talk to each other except in groups at the Social Meetings, but the couple develops a subtle gesture with which they speak without anyone else noticing. It is a new sin for Equality 7-252, but he is not ashamed. It is his second Transgression of Preference, for he no longer thinks of all his brothers—which is required—but thinks only of one. Thinking of Liberty 5-3000 makes him feel as if "the earth is good and that it is not a burden to live."
Equality 7-2521 thinks of her as the Golden One, although it is a sin to give anyone a name that might distinguish him from anyone else. He ignores the law that prohibits men from thinking about women...
(The entire section is 860 words.)
Chapter 3 Summary
Equality 7-2521 has discovered a "new power of nature." The Council of Scholars says all men know the things that exist; therefore, the things that are not known by all do not exist. Equality 7-2521 believes that the Council is blind and that the earth's secrets are not for all to see. Only those who seek them will find them, and he has found a secret no one else knows.
Two years ago, Equality 7-2521 was cutting open the body of a dead frog when he saw its leg jerking. Although it was dead, it moved by some power unknown to men. After many tests, he discovered the cause. The frog had been hanging on some copper wire, and the metal of his knife had caused the briny frog's leg to move. Equality 7-2521 experimented by putting a piece of copper and a piece of zinc into a jar of brine and then touching a wire to them, and he discovered the power of electricity.
It was a haunting discovery, and Equality 7-2521 studied it exclusively for a long time. Each new test revealed more of the mysterious power, and soon he understood that electricity is the greatest power on earth. It moved the needle on the compass he stole from the House of Scholars, although all men are taught that the loadstone points immutably to the north. This power defied this law.
Electricity causes lightening, something no one has ever understood; he has raised a metal pole by the tunnel's opening during many thunderstorms and has seen lightning repeatedly strike it. Now Equality 7-2521 knows that metal "draws the power of the sky" and can be "made to give it forth."
Using his discovery, Equality 7-2521 has built many strange things, including the copper wires he uses in his experiments. He has walked the underground tunnel, the portion not blocked by fallen rock, for half a mile and gathered all the items he could find by candlelight. He finds strange boxes with metal bars inside them, including many cords and coils of metal. He discovers wires connected to little glass globes on the tunnel walls. Inside the glass are thin metal filaments.
Although he does not understand everything he learns, Equality 7-2521 is certain that the men of the Unmentionable Times understood and somehow harnessed this energy. He is confident he will learn what they learned, but it frightens him to know he is alone in this endeavor. It has always been taught that no one can possess greater wisdom than the Scholars who represent all men because of their wisdom—yet Equality 7-2521 does.
In his quest for knowledge, he will forget about all men and all laws, everything except for his metal and his wires. There is so much to learn, and he is content to learn it all alone.
Chapter 4 Summary
It is many days before Equality 7-2521 gets to speak to Liberty 5-3000 again. It is a particularly scorching day and the heat is stifling. No wind is moving, and the women in their white tunics are weary as they work, each task taking them longer than usual. They are far from the road when Equality 7-2521 and his fellow Street Sweepers arrive to work, but Liberty 5-3000 is standing near the hedge waiting for him. Although her eyes are hard toward the world, Liberty 5-3000 looks at him with willing obedience.
Equality 7-2521 tells Liberty 5-3000 that he has given her a name in his mind: the Golden One. She tells him that she no longer thinks of him as Equality 7-252. She holds her head high and looks at him directly as she tells him that in her thoughts, she thinks of him as The Unconquered. Both of them are silent for a long time until Equality 7-2521 reminds her that these kinds of thoughts are forbidden. She reminds him that his thoughts, too, are forbidden. Yet he wishes her to think them.
Equality 7-2521 looks into her eyes and cannot lie to her; he calls her his "dearest one" and asks her not to obey his warning. She is moved by the endearment, for men have never before said such things to women. The Golden One stands with her head bowed and her palms at her sides, facing Equality 7-2521 as if in complete submission to him. Finally she raises her head and speaks gently, as she wants him to forget about some anxiety she is experiencing.
She knows he must be hot and weary from working; although he denies it, she offers to bring him some water since he is not allowed to cross the hedge to get some for himself. She kneels at the moat, cups her hands to gather some water, and holds the water to Equality 7-2521's lips. He is not sure if he drank any water, but he does know he is still standing with his lips to her hands; she knows it and does not move.
Both of them raise their heads and take a step back, for they are not sure what has prompted them to do this unheard-of thing. They are afraid to understand it. The Golden One steps back, looking at her hands in wonder before moving away, even though no one is coming. Then she steps back, as if she is compelled to walk away backwards, her eyes always on Equality 7-2521; her arms are bent before her, as if she cannot lower her hands.
Chapter 5 Summary
Equality 7-2521 creates light "from the night of the ages." He does it with no help, simply using his mind to make something from nothing. He reels with his discovery as he looks at the light he has created.
Tonight, after innumerable tests and trials, Equality 7-2521 has finished building something from the box of glass remaining from the Unmentionable Times. When he touches his electrically charged wire to the box, it emits a red glow and a circle of light lies on the stone floor below him.
He stands with his head in his hands, marveling at this wondrous creation. Without flint or fire, he has created light from the heart of metal. He blows out the candle, and everything is dark except for the "thin...
(The entire section is 544 words.)
Chapter 6 Summary
It has been thirty days since Equality 7-2521 has written, since he has been in his tunnel, because he got caught. It happened on the last night he wrote.
On that night, he is distracted by his discovery and does not watch the sand in the hourglass that lets him know when three hours have passed and when he should return to the City Theatre. When he finally remembers to look, the sand has run out.
Although he hurries to the Theatre, the tent is silent and the streets of the City are dark and empty. If he were to go back and hid in his tunnel, he and his light would both be discovered; so he walks to the House of the Street Sweepers.
Equality 7-2521 is questioned by the Council of the Home; he...
(The entire section is 667 words.)
Chapter 7 Summary
The forest is now Equality 7-2521's new home, at least until the forest animals come to kill him. He now has no bed but the moss and no future but the beasts. Equality 7-2521 feels old now, but he was young this morning when he carried his glass box through the city to the Home of the Scholars.
No one stops him from entering the great hall where the World Council of Scholars is conducting its solemn meeting. It is an impressive sight. They are gathered around a table below a painting of the "twenty illustrious men who had created the candle."
Everyone turns to look at Equality 7-2521 when he enters; they are puzzled by his appearance and look at him with great curiosity, as if he were a miracle....
(The entire section is 861 words.)
Chapter 8 Summary
Equality 7-2521's first day in the forest is full of wonder. He wakes and feels the sunlight on his face; eventually he realizes he does not have to rise at the sound of a bell as he has done every morning for nearly his entire life. He lies on his back and throws his arms out as he looks at the sky and considers his future.
The leaves above him are silver and in the sunlight and they ripple in the wind. He is free to lie here as long as he wants, and the thought makes him laugh aloud. He is also free to twirl around in the rustling leaves or swing from a tree branch—both of which he does. Finally he rolls over on the moss and laughs as if there is nothing inside him but laughter.
Finally he takes his...
(The entire section is 403 words.)
Chapter 9 Summary
Equality 7-2521 has not written for many days; he feels no desire to speak, as he does not need words to remember what has happened to him.
On his second day in the forest, Equality 7-2521 hears footsteps behind him. He hides in the bushes and waits as the steps come closer. Soon he sees a white tunic among the trees and runs to the Golden One. The couple stand looking at one another, but neither of them speaks.
The Golden One's hands fists are clenched at her side and her body sways; Equality 7-2521 does not dare to get too close to her. Finally, in a trembling voice, Equality 7-2521 asks the Golden One how she got here. She only whispers that she has found him; there is great pride in her voice when...
(The entire section is 793 words.)
Chapter 10 Summary
Equality 7-2521 writes on paper that was made thousands of years ago as he looks over at the Golden One, who is lying on an ancient bed. They are in their home, the one they discovered at sunrise today. They had been crossing a chain of mountains; whenever they got on a ridge and could see through the forest, they could see great mountain peaks that the Uncharted Forest hid from the men of the Cities.
They climb these mountains, knowing they will not be followed here. In the distance, they see a glow, a white flame among the trees on a peak in front of them. As they get closer, they see the flame is not fire, not burning, yet it is "blinding as liquid metal."
Finally they see that it is a house. The...
(The entire section is 637 words.)
Chapter 11 Summary
As he reflects on his hands, his spirit, his sky, his forest, and his earth, Equality 7-2521 has the answer to the question he longed to answer. "I am. I think. I will." He stands in the sun on the mountain and knows this is the end of his quest. He wanted to know the meaning of things and he has found it: he is the meaning. He has the permission and the right to live. He has the will to choose and the choice of words to speak. The "guiding star" is within him, and the star and the loadstone point to him.
He does not know if this earth is the center of the universe or merely a speck of dust, and he does not care. He does know what can offer his happiness here, and...
(The entire section is 459 words.)
Chapter 12 Summary
Equality 7-2521 saw the word "I" in the first book he read in his house. As soon as he understood the word, the book fell from his hands and he wept, for the first time in his life, out of pity and the potential for deliverance for all men.
Now he understands that what he thought were his sins and his curse are actually his blessings. Now he knows why he never felt guilt for his transgressions and why centuries of bondage cannot kill the spirit or the truth.
Equality 7-2521 reads for many days before he explains what he has learned to the Golden One. He tells her it is not proper for men not to have names. The name he has chosen for himself is Prometheus, the god who brought the light of the gods to men...

Let me start by saying I've never done either. This is my first call for bee removal that has actually been Honeybees!
The house is in an ' L ' shape and the bees are entering from the inside corner of the ' L'. They are climbing up the foundation behind the siding and going in between the the first floor joist. I ran a scope up behind the siding and can see them walking in along the top of the foundation, in a gap between 2 boards.
From inside the house they appear to tucked right in that corner. The homeowner does mind tearing out the Sheetrock ceiling a little to get to the hive, if that will even get me close enough?!
I'm considering trying the hogan trap out method to see if I can't get a lot of the bees out of the hive.
Not really sure... Any thoughts out there???

Tamar's Friday #FailureToLaunch #15 – "This post is NOT sponsored"
It's been an interesting week in the world of marketing and social FAILs, with one particular story initially looking like it was just going to be a simple one, but actually opening up a much larger can of proverbial worms on the topic of online marketing.

Go handle one if you have not done so yet and if you can shoot one all the better.
I really like the looks of the Kimber Ultra Carry; however, I handled one yesterday and did not like the way the metal on the backside of the grip dug into my hand. It felt like it would/could tear the skin off the palm of my hand.
I have heard a lot of people state on this forum that they carry a Kimber and specifically the Ultra Carry but it is not my cup of tea any more.
Just my .02.

I need help on knowing whether I should use the queen excluder or not. My bees are for producing comb only. Anyone with experience on this, please share...
I need help on knowing whether I should use the queen excluder or not. My bees are for producing comb only. Anyone with experience on this, please share...
You mean you're taking comb honey only? You do not need a queen excluder but it's a nice insurance policy. I don't use them, I have no issues with my queens running around laying everywhere. I do some late spring manipulations by pulling all the honey out of the broodnests and put it in a box above them. I checkerboard in new foundation as I do it which opens up the broodnest and creates a honey barrier above them. I then add my supers above this box. It makes it easy for me as I keep that box of honey for the bees to winter on since I don't like extracting from broodframes (yes, i'm a honey snob). It just seems to me they cause more trouble then what it's worth.
It is difficult to get bees through the excluder and making a lot of comb quickly which is what you need for comb honey.
"Beginning beekeepers should not attempt to use queen excluders to prevent brood in supers. However they probably should have one excluder on hand to use as an aide in either finding the queen or restricting her access to frames that the beekeeper must want to move elsewhere" -The How-To-Do-It book of Beekeeping, Richard Taylor
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Lori- You don't need an excluder for comb honey. I do strictly cut comb, with a full sheet of foundation in each frame
of my supers. I also use slatted racks like Dr. C.C. Miller and it helps to build a powerful hive. I wait to put the super
on, until the hive is loaded with bees. Add supers after first one is half to 3/4 full as needed. Rotate your supers per
killion method and it works just fine.
From chapter 16 of The Hive and the Honey Bee regarding comb honey production, Eugene Killion writes "A queen excluder must be used in producing bulk or cut-comb honey. None is needed when using square or round section supers."
I have deep brood boxes and use mediums for extracted honey and shallows for my cut comb. My queens have yet to put brood in the shallows (now I went and Jinxed myself).
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
If you intend to use foundation, use 7/11 from Walter T. Kelley. The queen hates laying in it.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Thanks for the input! I will consider removing them, but not until I get a situation resolved. Here is what has happened....
My hive is set up with one deep, and two honey supers (for bees only!), and then one extra honey super.
Over winter, I left that third extra honey super on naively hoping to get some honey early, but the queen went into this pure beeswax-foundation honey super, and laid lots of drone brood - very unevenly too! The supers below had mostly worker brood.
Thus, due to there being a cork-sized hole in this third super, I put the queen excluder under it after making sure the queen was absent from it. Over this I put another honey super with new beeswax foundation. Even if the queen got caught up above the excluder, she'd be okay, but a headache for me...
I expect it to empty of drone, and be reworked as honey comb. I believe I need to use the queen excluder at least until all the drone are expelled. Then I will put the new beeswax-foundation honey super on top the 'brood nest' (deep and two supers) and the super (now empty of brood) at the very top. Did I make this clear enough?
Any ideas or concerns? How long would it take to clear out the drone brood?
Thank you!
I use my Ross Round supers as "queen excluders". They seem to really dislike laying in the plastic frames.

OksewGlad, the skidsteer is very interesting...so different from the pitchfork we used in the old days...
Sixteen hours on the road and three for visiting is a LONG day; good thing you all are so young!!
Hang in there, Honchey, the days will get better. Maybe its possible for you all to move to NC soon, so you can get back to a normal routine. Guess its back to hand quilting or hand work to help pass time.
Everyone carrying credit cards: watch your balances and charges!!! I am always so careful of statements, etc., shedding all papers. We are slowly paying off balances and not charging, But one card was charged for airline tickets!!! It was monitored by the company (State Farm) who called me, and thus correcting the fraudulent charge. Cards were killed, so old ones cannot be used again...its that time of year again when it happens the most.

Reviews of this property
This time thank you very much for your help.
Both the supermarket and the subway had good peace and order soon, too, and was able to stay comfortably; thank you!
The hot water of the bath was warm, too, and the coffee was delicious, too!
The interior of the room is wonderful!
It was our second time we stayed in this great appartment. Its a great place to stay because its easy to go to the centre of paris. We walked to the centre, we also used the Vélib, short by you can take a Velib (Velo + Libre). Its a great way to explore Paris.
And Johanne was very friendly and helpfull.
We are looking forward to come back this year :)
We spent two nights in Johanne's apartment in half term. Johanne speaks excellent English and communications were friendly and easy.
We drove into Paris having spent several days in Normandy - we parked in the Porte de Saint Ouen car park at the top of the road (5 mins walk from the flat).
The flat was clean and homely though a lot smaller than it looks in the photos. We were with two strapping teenage sons which made things rather cramped but a couple or family with younger children would fit easily.
The flat is on a busy Parisian street and with the windows open it is very noisy day and night but the double glazing is excellent and it's very quiet with the windows shut. If you like fresh air as you sleep ear plugs are a must.
There is a bus that runs all the way to the Louvre which is great for seeing a bit of the city or the Metro just 5 mins away. A bakery and supermarket is nearby and we enjoyed take out pizza from the little Italian nearby.
The bed was comfy, the sofa bed full size and 100% cotton bed linen provided. The deep bath tub was lovely after a busy day.
We would definitely recommend Johanne's flat....
We enjoyed our stay, its a lovely appartment in a nice area. The Metro is very close and brings you in 10 min to the centre of Paris. A carefour supermarket is right at the corner, also a bakery and a butchery. Very friendly people in those 2 shops :)
We had a great time, and Johanne is very friendly, and easy to have contact with.
We stayed in Johanne´s apartment for 5 days and here´s the review:
+ The apartment is centrally located, the metro station 200m away and every tourist spot can be reached within 20 minutes.
+ The rooms are clean and it´s nicely decorated. Dishes, pots, cups and even a broom and tools can be found in the apartment.
+ Johanne is really nice and she always can be contacted by phone.
+ The area is safe, even at night and a supermarket is right at the corner, also a bakery and a butchery.
- There is not enough space for personal items. The wardrobe is full and so are the cupboard and the fridge.
- You can´t open the window at night if you have a light sleep. The cars and noises from outside are incredible loud. But as sons as you close the window, it´s completely silent. Every 20-30 minutes during the day, you can feel the metro passing by.
- The smells from outside (a chicken grill is directly below) are a bit annoying. Fumes, deep-frying fat, food and paint. It´s not all the time, depends on the wind direction.
=> So all things considered we would definitely recommend this apartment. As long as you haven´t a problem with the smells and the noises, but you become accustomed to it.
Me and my brother had a wonderful stay in Paris. Joannes flat was very easy to find and very near the metro Guy Moquet. Joanne is a lovely friendly person. Her flat is very clean and has lovely airy atmosphere. I slept on the sofa bed which was easy to get out and comfortable. The kitchen is charming and well-equiped. She didn't mind me playing her piano! The road below is busy (you can't hear it with the windows shut), but has lots of local shops and a useful Carrefour supermarket.It was the perfect place to come home to after exploring Paris.
Dear Johanne,
thanks a lot for your charming and cosy flat. everything was very clean and perfectly arranged, we just can recommend your flat.
we enjoyed our stay a lot!
yes, bit sad, we didn't met, maybe next time:-)
we wish you all the best and hope you had a good journey!

A bit small for 4 grown people, but perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 small kids). The location of this apartment is superb, just a stone's throw away from a street with the most amazing little café's, bakery's and other interesting little shops. Even though you're very close to restaurants and bars that will entertain you until the early morning, the street you're located in is actually quiet and calm at night, which means you'll get a good night's sleep. Public transportation is just around the corner and Pascal is a great host. Definitely recommended.
The attention by Pascal is very good and the location of the appartment is the best. Maybe the only complain would be the space. It is a bit uncomfortable for 4 persons. And the shower could improve. But next time in Paris, we will stay there for sure.
The appartement is very nice and clean. Espacially the bathroom is pretty small, though, which means you have to be pretty flexible or very slim to get into the shower. At night it is quiet in the house and on the street. Shopping and dining is everywhere around, to Metro it is just a view minutes walk. Next time in Paris we will stay here again.
We had a really nice stay in Paris. The appartment is small, but you have more or less everything you need and the atmosphere is great. Furthermore, the appartment was very well located and you could walk to a lot of interesting places.
Nice small apartement in the middle of Paris - as expected. It has it's own charm and is in the first floor - really an advantage in Paris. Though I know some apartements in that part of the town which are a bit nicer. That's why I'll give four stars. Though it is really a nice apartment and fulfils it's purpose.
This was my first time ever renting an apartment and I can say I had an excellent stay, it was brilliant. The host was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was lovely, cosy and clean with comfortable beds, it had everything you need plus fast Wi-Fi internet. The location was excellent it was situated in the center of Paris in very quiet area 10-15 min. walking distance to Louver museum and 5 min. to the nearest metro station. Very close to the shops and restaurants. Excellent value for money I would definitely stay there again.
Nice Apartment, very central, close to the metro. A bit small for 4, but enough to spend a few nights. Charming host, flexible check-in/out. Easy communication.
La ubicación del apartamento excelente.
La limpieza e instalaciones no podían ser peor. Ese apartamento no es digno de anunciarse en Wimdu hasta que no se reforme.

I didn't get to Cleveland until around 9:00 pm on Tuesday - so off I went with my lovely boss to our hotel - we had a nice late dinner at C2 in the Hotel and then headed to our rooms to get some shuteye. We stayed at the Intercontinental Suites Hotel Cleveland - LOVELY. I had a separate living room attached to my King sized bedroom and a nice huge bathroom with a Keuring coffee maker (A MUST) and a kitchenette. It was clean and the turn down service each night was superb - if you are ever in the area - check it out Intercontinental Suites Hotel - Cleveland
So we had the conference all day Wednesday, Thursday, and the morning of Friday at the Cleveland Clinic - what a stellar campus:) Amazing lush greens surround this HUGE campus - gorgeous water features and beautiful rooms for the conference. It was an honor to visit this Health System.
Not all the trip was business as usual - LOL.. We visited the Aurora Farms Premium Outlet Mall - check out the Outlet Mall - it was GREAT!!!!!! I bought a new Coach purse and my first pair of skinny jeans from Michael Kors - WOOT WOOT!!! Now what kind of mother would I be if I didn't bring something home for my bunnies - I bought Elle an adorable pink dress from Gymboree and this awesome white headband - she loved loved LOVED IT!! Wes - well he got a new book - boys clothes are so hard for me - they either have characters on them or the colors are so muted - NOT COOL. I am PICKY when it comes to his clothes and it takes me FOREVER to find anything for him. AND Eric got stiffed - he got nothing - lol... So the outlet mall was a success.
We ate at Austin's Steakhouse one night - we sat outside on the patio - it was such a nice evening. We had lunch at John Q's one day and this adorable lighthouse called Don's LightHouse Grille another afternoon - it was great cuisine. I indulged in the Chicken Ravioli - it was heaven.
We visited BA Sweetie candy store - you know me and sweets - YUM!!!! Check it out my dears - SWEET LORDY...
Finally we toured "The Christmas Story" house - it was EPIC. I met Randy - YAY!!!!!! The youngest brother who screamed his head off while going down the slide - it was hilarious to walk through and see the leg lamp..
|Randy eating like a piggy...
