In the winter? Does it hinder their ability to take cleansing flights?
In the winter? Does it hinder their ability to take cleansing flights?
USDA Zone 5B
In my area, I think that it is a good idea to reduce the entrance in the winter to keep out cold drafts. I'm not sure a robber screen would do that very well.
I have all my entrances reduced, and a piece of windowscreen that causes bees to have to walk across the landing board or screen from the side to get to the entrance on all my hives. BUT I am in Texas. Robbing is a frequent event especially when there isn't a flow on.
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
I tried it, the bees used dead bees to help plug up the large opening at the bottom when it got really cold. I took off the robber screen when I saw this because it can't be good to have tons of dead bees used as insulation on the front of your hive. Glad I caught it when I did and I won't try this robber screen idea again.

IF you are a Young Sumo-ling
IF you send over 10 emails a day... read this. You'll learn to save time (and get WAY higher response rates outta your emails).
We noticed around the AppSumo Headquarters that A LOT of our time is spent emailing (and eating).
We also noticed a lot of our email content is the same... but some people get better response rates.
For example:
Our lead-sales Sumo gets more (and faster) email replies than the other sales guys.
Why is this?
It's because the lead-sales Sumo sends a slightly better email.
THAT'S IT! And what's more, he uses a template. EASY. SIMPLE.
We decided to see what other email templates work the best. So we sweet-talked a bunch of high-profile internet nerds and got access to their most successful templates (meaning these are the ones that get the HIGHEST and FASTEST response rates).
We've got emails from the outboxes of:
These guys have sent out MANY EMAILS in the past, but the specific email templates they use in this bundle are the ones that've proven to work the BEST and get the BEST RESULTS.
So these aren't just "great emails for you to use"... these are TESTED AND PROVEN emails that work.
Here's some of the categories of email templates you'll get:
So why do you give a f-heck about this??
Well lemme show you how to use this to save you massive amounts of email time:
Step 1: Grab this deal.
Step 2: You will instantly be sent 35 email templates (and selected audio commentary on why they work).
Step 3: Enter the email templates that jive with your line of work into your "canned responses" on Gmail (or whatever email you use).
Step 4: Whenever you need to contact someone (for example, requesting an introduction to a famous person), you can just insert that canned response and update the specific details.
Step 5: BAM! You've immediately sent the most-optimized and real-world-tested email you can send!
You didn't have to sit by the computer for hours thinking of something "clever" to say (which would most likely be boring and stupid). Instead you've sent a great email in a matter of seconds.
Time saved? CHECK.
Sent great email? CHECK.
Know that email has been tried & proven? CHECK.
So if you're a little email-monkey like most of us... think of the amount of time and hassle this will save you.
Stop trying to come up with a new email every time you have a request and start emailing with what the experts use.
For just $1 an email you can get your hands on the exact words the pros use. How much is that next big sale or important contact worth to you? ...bet it's more than $1!
Grab this deal now and up your email game TODAY!
But hurry Young Sumo-ling... the price is only this low for A LIMITED TIME ONLY!
The Chief "I Use Canned Emails and Eat Canned Food" Sumo
P.S. Know someone who processes a ton of email on a regular basis? Send them this deal!
P.P.S. Included in this deal are explanations of WHY the templates work. We discuss the psychology behind them so you know which elements of the email makes what work (which will help you become a better writer, too).
What a rip-off! This is just text! I'm an email marketer and I thought I was buying a slick email template like they send me....

Some of these are OK if you're brand new to sales or Marcom but most are sophomoric and utterly obvious. The sales pitches are littered with "I"... the last word you want to use when pitching someone... This deal is going back for a refund.

This is good information, I like that they explained the reasoning and purpose for wording the emails in a particular fashion. This will defienetly make it easier moving forward in designing different email structures and getting the desired response.

Three years later, the Waqf, with the approval of the Israeli government, announced plans to create an emergency exit for the El-Marwani Mosque. But Israeli officials later accused the Waqf of exceeding its self-stated mandate. Instead of a small emergency exit, the Waqf excavated two arches, creating a massive vaulted entranceway. In doing so, bulldozers dug a pit more than 131 feet long and nearly 40 feet deep. Trucks carted away hundreds of tons of soil and debris.
Israeli archaeologists and scholars raised an outcry. Some said the Waqf was deliberately trying to obliterate evidence of Jewish history. Others laid the act to negligence on a monstrous scale.
"That earth was saturated with the history of Jerusalem," says Eyal Meiron, a historian at the Ben-Zvi Institute for the Study of Eretz Israel. "A toothbrush would be too large for brushing that soil, and they did it with bulldozers."
Yusuf Natsheh, the Waqf's chief archaeologist, was not present during the operation. But he told the Jerusalem Post that archaeological colleagues had examined the excavated material and had found nothing of significance. The Israelis, he told me, were "exaggerating" the value of the found artifacts. And he bristled at the suggestion the Waqf sought to destroy Jewish history. "Every stone is a Muslim development," he says. "If anything was destroyed, it was Muslim heritage."
Zachi Zweig was a third-year archaeology student at Bar- Ilan University, near Tel Aviv, when he heard news reports about dump trucks transporting Temple Mount soil to the Kidron Valley. With the help of a fellow student he rounded up 15 volunteers to visit the dump site, where they began surveying and collecting samples. A week later, Zweig presented his findings—including pottery fragments and ceramic tiles—to archaeologists attending a conference at the university. Zweig's presentation angered officials at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). "This is nothing but a show disguised as research," Jon Seligman, the IAA's Jerusalem Region Archaeologist, told the Jerusalem Post. "It was a criminal deed to take these items without approval or permission." Soon afterward, Israeli police questioned Zweig and released him. By that point though, Zweig says, his cause had attracted the attention of the media and of his favorite lecturer at Bar-Ilan—the archaeologist Gaby Barkay.
Zweig urged Barkay to do something about the artifacts. In 2004, Barkay got permission to search the soil dumped in the Kidron Valley. He and Zweig hired trucks to cart it from there to Emek Tzurim National Park at the foot of Mount Scopus, collected donations to support the project and recruited people to undertake the sifting. The Temple Mount Sifting Project, as it is sometimes called, marks the first time archaeologists have systematically studied material removed from beneath the sacred compound.
Barkay, ten full-time staffers and a corps of part-time volunteers have uncovered a wealth of artifacts, ranging from three scarabs (either Egyptian or inspired by Egyptian design), from the second millennium B.C., to the uniform badge of a member of the Australian Medical Corps, who was billeted with the army of British Gen. Edmund Allenby after defeating the Ottoman Empire in Jerusalem during World War I. A bronze coin dating to the Great Revolt against the Romans (A.D. 66-70) bears the Hebrew phrase, "Freedom of Zion." A silver coin minted during the era when the Crusaders ruled Jerusalem is stamped with the image of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Barkay says some discoveries provide tangible evidence of biblical accounts. Fragments of terra-cotta figurines, from between the eighth and sixth centuries B.C., may support the passage in which King Josiah, who ruled during the seventh century, initiated reforms that included a campaign against idolatry. Other finds challenge long-held beliefs. For example, it is widely accepted that early Christians used the Mount as a garbage dump on the ruins of the Jewish temples. But the abundance of coins, ornamental crucifixes and fragments of columns found from Jerusalem's Byzantine era (A.D. 380–638) suggest that some public buildings were constructed there. Barkay and his colleagues have published their main findings in two academic journals in Hebrew, and they plan to eventually publish a book-length account in English.

Story highlights
- Cliff Muskiet loves stewardess uniforms. He's collected over 1,000 over the years.
- Vicky and Steve Everson bonded over their love of flight. The couple married in a retired Concorde.
- The Eversons grew their collection into a museum space with flight simulator.
(CNN)For many travelers, jetsetting lost its glamorous allure decades ago.
Still, there are a handful of holdouts who still view flying through the lens of seductive aviation epics like "Catch Me If You Can".
For the likes of Cliff Muskiet and Vicky and Steve Everson, the charm of aviation's golden era can be resurrected through their plane-themed collections.
Muskiet, for instance, has amassed over 1,000 cabin crew uniforms, which he keeps stored at his home. His collection spans seven continents and as many decades.
"At the moment, I want to have them with me, but eventually I would like to make a book -- maybe a coffee table book. To do that, though, I need a big bag of money," he says.
The Eversons, who wed inside a Concorde four years ago, make Muskiet's collection look tame. The couple, who met online and soon bonded over their shared love of plane paraphernalia, spent £40,000 ($67,000) converting their home in Lancashire, UK into a Boeing 737 airplane, complete with a flight simulator.
"The corridor used to be full of aircraft parts. We had to cut a door for the flight deck in the bathroom," admits Steve.
The collection grew so big that the couple eventually had to outsource it to an office space down the street. They have since started charging fellow flight fanatics for the chance to try out the simulator (they dub it the Flight Deck Experience).
"We wanted people to feel like they were boarding a real aircraft. It adds to the whole experience," says Steve.

More Code catastrophes uncovered in these faulty installations
Discuss this Article 3
Doesn't a #4 awg fall under the exact same category as a #6 awg? Both require conduit if exposed to physical damage. Assumption: all gec conductors larger than #8 can be run on surface without conduit if not exposed to physical damage. It appears repetitive and confusing.
it is a judgment call if you knowingly see its location. Think if it is exposed to damage yes protect it but if it is secured correctly and not in the path of being damaged yes it doesnot have to be encased or protected that is what the code is trying to say my friend.
"4 AWG or larger copper or aluminum grounding electrode conductor" doesn't even need to be mentioned. The reason #4awg is mentioned is because in the 2002 Nec a #4awg only required protection when exposed to"severe" damage, the word "severe" was taken out in 2005. The whole sentence should have been taken out. This is interpreted differently by local AHJ's.

From left, Assistant Professor Rupali Datta
receives award from AASIO President Manjit Kang
UTSA environmental researcher honored for community work
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(March 9, 2006)--Rupali Datta, assistant professor of environmental plant sciences, recently was awarded the 2005 Young Agricultural Scientist Award by the National Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin (AASIO).
The international organization is an affiliate of the American Society of Agronomy, which has more than 21,000 members and represents the largest association of agricultural scientists in the world.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Datta is the second UTSA researcher to receive the award. Dibyendu (Dibs) Sarkar, UTSA associate professor of environmental geochemistry, was recognized for his outstanding contributions to agronomic research in 2004.
Datta's local research, as a founding member of the San Antonio Lead Task Force, involves studying ways to remove lead in the soils of the San Antonio community by 2010, a goal set by the Housing and Urban Development department.
Her research also was instrumental in creating a water and sediment quality database of Mitchell Lake, a known sludge disposal lagoon in the early 1900s on San Antonio's South Side. The Mitchell Lake Audubon Center opened the site in 2004.
Nationally, Datta was part of a team in 2002 that designed a remediation plan to clean up arsenic from Environmental Protection Agency designated Superfund sites contaminated by hazardous waste and identified for cleanup for their risk to human health and the environment.
As an educator, Datta serves as associate director of the Environmental Geochemistry Laboratory (EGL) and has supervised or assisted with the research activities of five graduate or post-doctoral fellows in the EGL lab. Since 2002, she has helped generate more than $1.3 million in grant funding and has authored or co-authored more than 100 scientific publications.
The AASIO award recognizes young agricultural scientists of Indian origin who have made an outstanding contribution by the age of 40 and received a doctoral degree within 10 years before the closing date for nominations.
Nominees are judged on the significance and originality of basic and applied research in any area of agronomy, crop science, horticultural science, soil science or plant biology and must have demonstrated excellence in teaching, extension service or administrative duties.


text: I was going to work in Fort Worth Texas, driving through the crazy clover-leaf on-ramp between 360 and I-30 (not too far away from the new Stadium in Arlington) to head east. I was listening to 97.1, the Eagle, which I didn't do all that often so it's memorable. They were playing AC/DC - I think it was "Who made who" - and they cut the song short and said, "This is unprecedented." and the local DJs talked about what they were seeing on TV. I got to work and pulled a TV out of the back storage area and I did very little work that day. The company that I worked for then was based 60 miles north of New York City and we had a hard time getting in touch with them because all the phone times were tied up. I just sat and watched the TV that day and prepared for the new world to come at me.

Re: PSN Account Activation Limit
I'm glad you figured this out, but I am sure this issue is still going to confuse people in the near term...
Re: PSN Account Activation Limit
I live in a 12,600 square foot home. I own 4 ps3. 2 Older models and 2 newer as of the last year. I have 3 sons. I own software for each of my ps3s. We also have 2 internet vendors supplying our home. The PS3 in the Theater is rarely used. The problem is that I am unable to load the programs I purchased on the Ps3 in the office after I reset the unit. I am getting a message about 2 activated already. I am a huge supporter of Playstation over the last 18 years or more. This new policy of 2 units is causing me a lot of problems. We on average play Call of Duty online together. If you need proof of all of my Ps3s I will send you a picture. My software collection is huge and my downloads will only update 2 of the ps3s. This is bad business since the plan is to play together as a family online. I hope this message is passed on to the management team.... I will soon be looking for a different option if this is not fixed. I am a user of Playstation products for over 18 years.

Re: PSN Account Activation Limit
Hi there.
How come no one has replied to Clint's message? I am having a similar issue and this 2 system max stuff is total bs. I mean.. why 2? if you're gunna start chintzing out why not just lock it down to 1 and really **bleep** people off? Either go back to 5 or the whole thing is just completely moronic.I understand there NEEDS to be a cap, people steal etc. (jerks). Call it "breakage/spillage" (whatever) and do what the old late 80's MARRS song says and bump it UP! (or pump it up - the cap not the volume)
Seriously, though. Sony has always been incredibly great about things like this and because of this, I for one have been a huge advocate of the PS, I can't say how many times I've gotten into almost heated - come to blows "discussions" about xbox vs PS etc. the superior (in my opinion) hardware is only part of the equation for me.. the rest comes down to Sony's (now past) generosity. Yes, yes.. we don't have to pay to play online. how long before that changes? And really? Pay to play online, such a stupid idea anyways, hope Sony doesn't go that way next or I'd have to go back to PC gaming.
But i digress..
What was I saying? Oh ya..
Reward the people who made you huge I say! most average people don't know how to do this stuff anyways so I doubt the billion dollar company will lose too many pesos over it.
In the mean time, what? I gotta buy multiple $50-$60 copies of games I'd like because I haven't already lined enough pockets a few times over by buying multiple systems? this sounds like a "Gates" move.
Really stick it Xbox and that other one (Wii-ner whatever) and bring back the 5 system cap.. prove you actually read this forum and listen to your "valued" customers and don't look at us like money spewing meatsicles .
come on..
PS. Whats up with these new top loader deals? omg. I feel like I've got a cheesey kmart special ghetto blaster from the 90's.
/end rant =)

Re: PSN Account Activation Limit[ Edited ]
I'll third that motion.
The activation limits are completely ridiculous. I have multiple consoles and it's a major pain to maintain the content I pay for when I can't put it where I want it.
If you think PS3 is bad, try portable systems. You get to activate two portable systems now, but even if they are two different systems, such as one PSP and one Vita, the limit is two. I have several PSPs and a couple Vitas, so I can't activate two Vitas because some games I have bought only work on PSP. The policy is just plain stupid, and for people like me it is very frustrating. I will not be buying any future consoles because of this sort of foolishness.
Mind you, Nintendo systems only allow one system, but I suppose that's where the industry is headed: straight to an early grave.
As for going after kids who want to share their games with their friends, their budgets are already maxed out. When these activation limits become more strict, they don't cause these kids to spend more because they don't have more to spend. They just annoy and punish people who do have money to spend.
Re: PSN Account Activation Limit
Wait, you live in a 12k sq ft home probably worth millions of dollars and you're worried about having to pay a pittance for games for your extra 2 Playstations. I wish I had your problems.

@bmulligan: granted you're right.. the rich get richer.. but i think you are missing the point. my situation is similar to clint's as i said, but not by any means the same. i'm not well off at all, i live in a small apartment and have multiple systems because i play, i have children and bought a couple systems used so we can play online together without having to crowd in front of a small tv then split it too. not everyone has lots of money (hence my rant) so let's stay on point..
i'm sure if enough noise was made about this, they'd have to consider changing it.. i mean.. the people have spoken.. right?
Re: PSN Account Activation Limit
I would like to think with the arrival of the PS4, they would at least increase it to 3. Theere are porbly many people out there that over the last few years have aqquired two PS3's, many of which may keep and also buy a PS4. It there fore makes sense to increase it.

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

Sydney Showground Led Zeppelin Concert
I was 17 years old when I attended this concert and it was probably the first concert where I saw an 'overseas' act. The kids of today would squirm with the knowledge that I had only just started employment so the ticket price of $4 for seeing these legends play for 3 hours would put ticket prices today of hundreds of dollars with concerts generally limited to 2 hours or less in true perspective for the rip-off that they are. I have a strong memory of a huge police presence as there were 28000 fans there and Robert Plant cynically dedicating the song 'Black Dog" to the police ringing the stadium. Unlike Bob's post here I seem to remember the opening song was 'Black Dog', followed by "Rock and Roll" but I could be mistaken.
I remember a lone security guard trying to prevent the fans from charging the stage which they did after the first number and being engulfed by the swarm never to surface again. The sound was amazing and it sounded as good as being performed in a studio. I have been to many concerts since seeing some of the greatest bands of all time (nothing since early 90's as it is a complete rip off now) and this concert was the best I have ever seen.
There will never be another band like Led Zeppelin. When they played their last benefit in London and a million people were trying to get tickets that shows you the pulling power of this legendary band. I hope that Robert can hook up with Jimmy again and bring the band down under. I would pay just about any price to see these icons again!

Wyden Lobbies for C.O. Drone Testing Site
Sen. Wyden Visits Bend Airport to Discuss
BEND, Ore. - Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., visited the Bend Municipal Airport Tuesday, in part to see a runway paving project. It's just part of a wide-ranging FAA funding bill the senator helped get passed.
But another part of the bill has the senator particularly interested.
The bill also creates six unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone testing areas nationwide, and Central Oregon is still in the hunt for one.
The runway project costs $3.6 million.
The project, according to Wyden, is helping create a first-class facility that can attract other kinds of opportunities - and industries - like drones.
The Bend Airport is in need of some fixing up; the taxiway is cracked.
But thanks to the Federal Aviation Administration funding bill, it's getting what it needs done.
"It's going to continue to improve the facility, so that we can get more employers out here -- that's really what we are looking for," said Bend City Councilor Mark Capell.
The bill allows small airports to become eligible for $50 million over the next four years.
"Here at home, this means safer airports, better runways, better terminals, better hangars, and better taxiways like one we are seeing re-paved this morning," Wyden said, speaking before airport and city officials.
"These workers are putting together a first-class facility like this airport, that can be a magnet for a lot of other kinds of opportunities," Wyden said.
Opportunities, Wyden says, that include a growing industry - test sites for drone aircraft.
"We know Central Oregon would be an ideal place for that kind of operation," Wyden said.
The bill requires the FAA to establish six test areas nationwide.
The test areas are needed for companies that build the unmanned aircraft that for years were known only for dropping bombs in war zones.
Today, fire departments use drones to help fight wildfires, and police agencies nationwide use them to get an eye from above.
"The Internet was a classic military development project, and now we all use it every day, and we love it and can't live without it," said Matt Smith, who designs and operates parts for drone aircraft for Hatch Development. "I think that drones are similar."
"We have a couple manufacturers that are making a lot of these parts for these aircraft," Smith said."I think that those aircraft (businesses) could grow if we saw some new companies move in."
Wyden said there is no guarantee Central Oregon will be chosen for the site of a test area, but he's pushing hard for it.
"You cannot put together an Oregon or a Northwest proposal that doesn't use Central Oregon as a primary test area," Wyden said. "This is the place that's led the effort, and led the effort for some time."
Smith says it could be the Mt. Bachelor to the aircraft industry here in Central Oregon.
"Where Mt. Bachelor attracts tourists every year," he said, "This airspace will attract high-tech industry that gives well-paying jobs."
But not everyone supports the plan to bring the testing site here.
Some pilots say airspace is limited, and environmental critics oppose the sound pollution they say would come with the increased air traffic.

Reviews of this property
The flat is furnished as described, all clean, of good quality and well functioning. The organised transport from and back to the airport was very helpfull, Liam (or may be his driver - I don`t know) went out of his way to make this work for us.
It is situated a bit out of the center and up on a small hill or ridge overlooking nearly the whole towncenter. That`s what I love most about it: pulling the curtains open in the morning and enjoying the view over Dublin through the huge bay-window while having breakfast, pointing out where we would go later that day and watching the weather coming towards us.
While my daughter most enjoyed the perfectly working wi-fi.
It is not too far from the center. There is a bus-staton right in front of the house with at least two lines going to the city-center.
We preferred to walk though: it`s about 15 minutes to the zoo and 30 min. to either the Guinness-Storehouse or Ha´penny Bridge.
There is a Tesco`s around the corner with - for mainland europeans - astonishingly extended opening times.
So all in all a perfect choice when yor`re looking for a self catering appartement. And I will certainly want to stay there again the next time I visit Dublin.
Thanks to Liam for the friendly welcome and the perfect organization of the taxi from and to the airport. The flat was clean and its furnishing comfortable. Just a pan and the cd-player should be fine. We enjoyed the nice view over a part of Dublin. The way to the centre is not too far. We like to recommend this apartment. If we will come back to Dublin, we like to stay there again.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Liam's Newly Restored Victorian Apartment. We were arriving late in the evening and so we asked him to leave a key out for us. It was exactly where he said it would be, and the apartment was relatively easy to find using our GPS in the car.
Our room was very clean when we came in. We found a booklet of information about the city and transportation on the breakfast table. We didn't need it, but they would have been very helpful if we did not have a car.
Liam provided bread, milk, butter and fruit which was a lovely touch. There was leftover cereal in the cabinet from other guests, and using this we were able to eat breakfast in our room every morning! This was a very unexpected surprise. We were planning on replacing the cereal but did not have time (Sorry Liam!).
We did get to meet our host going out of the hotel room one time. Liam was very friendly and suggested several places for us to eat dinner.
The room was quiet, and we were pleased to be able to control the temperature in the cold of winter with a heater. There is also free wi-fi which was easy to connect to and a relatively good speed. Probably not enough to stream a movie (we didn't try), but plenty for Facebook, web browsing, email and the like.
The only thing that we did not like about the room was that the water pressure in the shower is not very good. It is enough to rinse off after a long day, but not really good for a long relaxing shower. Even with this, we would still recommend this to a friend and we hope to stay there in the future if we ever find ourselves in Dublin again.
I wish I could say that everything was fine but to be honest, that's not how things went. We agreed the check in at 2. Nobody was waiting for us, we had to call and wait for the host half an hour. The apartment wasn't clean and there was still the previous guests luggage inside. We had a sandwich from tesco in a car park for lunch, went back but the cleaning lady wasn't there yet. To cut it short we eventually were able to get in at 5 something. Wifi didn't work for the whole 4 days, as tourists that was a problem (get info about transports, check local services, do reservations, check in online for our flight and everything). Guest apologized for everything but our idea of welcome is far from that.
L'appartement est propre très bien situé par rapport au centre de Dublin
Lima est extrêmement efficace pour résoudre les problèmes et donner des indications sur le ville
Les irlandais sont d'une cordialité dont nous devrions plus nous inspirer
Une toute petite remarque sur le chauffage quid n'est pas assez fort le martin
Nous recommandons cet appartement
Das kleine Appartement in Dublin ist sehr zu empfehlen.
Es ist für 2 Personen sehr gut ausgestattet und die City ist mit Bussen optimal zu erreichen. Die Organisation durch Liam klappte perfekt. Das kleine Willkommen mit Butter, Brot und Milch hat uns sehr gefreut.
Vielen dank an Liam und WIMDU von

Apartment well located. limpio.A comfortable and despite not having met the owner continually been responsive and helpful via phone. Without a doubt I recommend it to anyone or myself would choose the same place if I return to Dublin.
Apartamento bien ubicado. cómodo y muy limpio.A pesar de no haber conocido al propietario continuamente ha estado atento y servicial a través de teléfono. Sin lugar a duda lo recomendaría a cualquier persona o yo misma eligiría el mismo lugar si vuelvo a Dublín.
A good apartment with all the household items you need. A tesco nearby and the walking distance to central Dublin was about 20-30min, or you had the buses just outside.
Stay excellent, fits the description.
Séjour excellent, tout correspond à la description.
Our vacation was partially ruined by chosing to stay in this house. I was fooled by all the positive feedback here. Liam didn't show up at the flat at the agreed time. He did not respond to phone calls. // Afterwards he kept saying he forgot his phone in the car and that he can't do anything but apologize. The weird thing was just that sometimes when I called the phone it was making that sound it makes when the person is already on the phone with somebody else and when I called again the line was free but nobody answered the phone. I can't proove it but it was a very frustration situation. We all felt like he was lying right into our faces. // We waited for two hours and after an hour we chose to wait in the car right in front of the house. An hour later a friend of Liam suddenly appeared and gave us the keys. I asked him what went wrong and he told us that we were right and something went really wrong there but he also said that he did not see us in front of the door and kept trying to imply that we did not wait for 2 hours. Then he said he was in far worse situations and we should feel good that we only had to wait for 2 hours. Liam later said that he maybe sent us an email and changed the agreement. He did not send us an email. The next shock hit us when we entered the wrong flat. This flat that you see above is not the one we booked but it's the one we got. There was only one bedroom. My dad snors so I always make sure to book a bedroom from my parents and one for me. We stayed in that flat for 2 days and I was not able to sleep. The first two days in Dublin were ruined. Then we met Liam for the first time after I told him that we have to do something about this situation. He was there really fast. That was a good thing. On the next day we got to move into a bigger flat. 2 rooms + a bathroom. But the two beds were in the same room. So I slept on the couch in the living room for the rest of the time. It's not fun to write such a bad review but that's just how it was and I really feel like I need to warn people about this place. I've been to Dublin many times and I stayed at great places for half the price of that room. Liam did not contact us again. I could write so much more bad things but I just want to forget this experience as fast as possible. Oh and we also called the Emergency Center at Wimdu. If you expect any help from them you have a problem. They infromed me that in case you can't get into the flat you've booked they will not book you into a hotel room. They will not look for places where you could stay. That's your job. :) They try to contact the person who's supposed to give you the keys,.. and that's all. You have to pay the hotel room or any other place you eventually find and you also have to pay for the flat you can't enter.

Read the Common Analgesics May Subdue Hearing Along with Pain article »
Clinical Presentation
Acute overdosage with opioids can be manifested by respiratory depression, somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, constricted pupils, and sometimes pulmonary edema, bradycardia, hypotension and death. Marked mydriasis rather than miosis may be seen due to severe hypoxia in overdose situations.
Treatment of Overdose
In case of overdose, priorities are the re-establishment of a patent and protected airway and institution of assisted or controlled ventilation if needed. Employ other supportive measures (including oxygen, vasopressors) in the management of circulatory shock and pulmonary edema as indicated. Cardiac arrest or arrhythmias will require advanced life support techniques.
The opioid antagonists, such as naloxone and naltrexone, are specific antidotes to respiratory depression resulting from opioid overdose. Opioid antagonists should not be administered in the absence of clinically significant respiratory or circulatory depression secondary to hydromorphone overdose. Such agents should be administered cautiously to patients who are known, or suspected to be, physically dependent on EXALGO. In such cases, an abrupt or complete reversal of opioid effects may precipitate an acute withdrawal syndrome.
Because the duration of reversal would be expected to be less than the duration of action of hydromorphone in EXALGO, carefully monitor the patient until spontaneous respiration is reliably reestablished. EXALGO will continue to release hydromorphone adding to the hydromorphone load for up to 24 hours after administration, necessitating prolonged monitoring for at least 24 to 48 hours beyond the overdose. If the response to opioid antagonists is suboptimal or not sustained, additional antagonist should be given as directed in the product's prescribing information.
In an individual physically dependent on opioids, administration of an opioid receptor antagonist may precipitate an acute withdrawal. The severity of the withdrawal syndrome produced will depend on the degree of physical dependence and the dose of the antagonist administered. If a decision is made to treat serious respiratory depression in the physically dependent patient, administration of the antagonist should be begun with care and by titration with smaller than usual doses of the antagonist.
EXALGO is contraindicated in:
- Opioid non-tolerant patients. Fatal respiratory depression could occur in patients who are not opioid tolerant.
- Patients with significant respiratory depression
- Patients with acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in the absence of resuscitative equipment
- Patients with known or suspected paralytic ileus
- Patients who have had surgical procedures and/or underlying disease resulting in narrowing of the gastrointestinal tract, or have "blind loops" of the gastrointestinal tract or gastrointestinal obstruction.
- Patients with hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to hydromorphone or sulfite-containing medications [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]

Reviews of this property
We had a wonderful time here. The appartment room was very clean and spacious. Jessica made our arrival easy and was very reliable. The next metro station is just a 5 min. walk away and then your quickly off to explore the city. Around the metro station (Re di Roma) you will also find restaurants, pizzerias, etc. Also a very convenient plus is the supermarket just around the corner of the appartment. A small but good breakfast is provided and fruits and coffee are always available. Definetely recommandable!
great location, nice clean cozy apartment is cleaned every day, nice owner, I recommend
Wir waren mit der Unterkunft sehr zufrieden. Zimmer und Bad waren sauber und auf neuem Standard. Die Betreuerin der Wohnung war ständig telefonisch erreichbar, sehr schnell vor Ort und sehr nett. Die Anbindung zur Metro und zum Zug waren gut (500-800 m von der Unterkunft entfernt).
Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen und würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen.
Goed adres! Mooie kamer en heel vriendelijke ontvangst.
We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Prima prijs-kwaliteit verhouding.
Grande chambre propre, lit confortable, salle de bain impeccable aussi. Pas loin d'une station de métro. Relativement calme la nuit. Jessica nous a très bien accueillis et préparé les petits déjeuners.
Eine tolle Woche Rom liegt nun leider schon hinter uns... Die Unterkunft von Antonio und Elisabetta hat absolut gehalten, was sie versprochen hat. Jessica, die gute Seele der Unterkunft, hat uns jederzeit wunderbar umsorgt und stand uns für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Herzlichen Dank für den großartigen Service.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Our room was fine for our purpose of our stay. We did a 3 night city trip and the B&B provided all the facilities that we needed. One day when it became a little colder there were already extra blankets placed in the afternoon. Also the last day after checking out we could still leave our luggage for a few hours in another room before we picked it up and we went to the airport. Great service!
Breakfast is simple, but enough for us. (good coffee!)
I would recommend this place to friends and family.
Over all we had a good time in Rome. The room was pleasant, and the receptionist was kind. However, the idea of B&B was rather an exaggeration. Becase there was just a tiny table in the hall way with two chairs and food was placed on it in the morning with no plates and utensils to eat with. It was really awkward. Three of us were there and ended up having breakfast only once, standing using our fingers(just one roll out of courtesy) in the apartment and never again for the four days we stayed. Besides, sweet rolls and pies in the morning were way too much.
The bathroom was to be shared if there were other visitors. As there were not many other people, we could use the bathroom without experiencing crowdedness. But the water pressure in the shower was horrible.
We were hoping to walk around the city as was recommended by other tourists, but B&B is located off the center, and is not within the walking distance to the touristic places. So using Metro is a must if anyone wants to stay at this place.
Like I mentioned, we had a good time in Rome as a whole simply because there was just so much to see, but the B&B wasn´t an addition to this experience.
1) The room is included bathroom, unfortunately it is not in the sleeping room as we expected. It is really unconvenient.
2) The breakfast is very poor, just a few snacks, it is not real breakfast. We stay there 3 days, actually they put only one time some snacks.
3) The room is close to the road, it is very noise and laud.
4) The landlord is quite arrogant
We were really disappointed with the stay

Real men are mentors
In life we are provided very few situations in which we are rewarded just by walking into a room.
Mentoring is one of those rare situations. A child's life improves the moment you demonstrate a willingness to care.
Today 31 of the 48 children on our waiting list are boys who live without the guidance of men in their lives. In addition, these 31 boys have waited an average of 10 months for a Real Man to step up and be their mentor.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth from the ages of 5 to 14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.
Mentoring is simple and the most successful relationships are built around common, shared activities and interests. We provide the support, structure and supervision needed to make sure everyone experiences a safe and positive relationship.
You only need to be yourself — a caring adult, willing to spend time with a child who needs a role model.
How often do we take a moment to look at the people who shaped our lives? Think for a moment — who were the important men and women that influenced you?
Imagine now if you took all of them away.
That is what life is like for many of the children waiting for someone like you to come into their lives as a Kinship Partner mentor.
The wonderful thing about mentoring is that you are already equipped to be a great mentor. You bring to the table something unique that these kids do not have in their lives — the ability to be their friend.
The choice to share your time with a child who needs a mentor results in a living expression of who you are; a legacy of caring.
Will you consider giving the gift of friendship by becoming a mentor?
For more information about becoming a mentor, call 218-829-4606 or 877-730-5437, or visit www.kinshippartners.org.

Guidice and her business partner Jerel James Sabella hosted a party to introduce the product to distributors, friends, press and a handful of select stylists and salon owners.
"This event was designed to truly kick off the launch of MILANIA in style and showcase the beautiful results one can achieve with our products!," said Teresa. "Jerel and I are so proud of this line. The highest quality ingredients, technology, research and passion went in to this product range!"
To introduce the line, Teresa invited celebrity stylist Anthony Barrow to present models benefiting from the products. "Every product in the Milania Professional Hair Care system includes Vitamins A, B3, C, E, silk protein, argan and avocado oils plus natural keratin," Anthony told Modern in the backstage area as he prepped the models. "These essential ingredients help nourish, repair & protect hair damaged by heat-styling tools." Barrow created styles influenced by looks shown at the most recent fashion week in NYC.
The products introduced are Total Vitamin Leave-In Treatment, Keratin Heat Protector and Argan Oil Infusion Serum. But check out the interview with Teresa to find out how she gets away with naming the product line after just ONE of her daughters!

In the New Year, I will be hosting a pot-luck for my colleagues. But I am concerned that my new hardwood flooring could be damaged by high heels, as a result of guests not removing their shoes at the door. Should I e-mail my team members in advance to ask that they bring their slippers or indoor shoes?

Kevin Stillwell's rich voice captures the vivid nuances of Lee and His Men at Gettysburg. a comprehensive history of the Battle of Gettysburg by American writer Clifford Dowdey. His intense performance underlines the importance of the 1863 conflict, which resulted in nearly 50,000 deaths and is considered to be the turning point in the American Civil War. This meticulously researched audiobook focuses on the Confederate troops, led by the brilliant General Robert E. Lee, and the series of events that led to their ultimate downfall.
In this sweeping account Clifford Dowdey recreates one of the most important battles in U.S. history. With vivid and breathtaking detail, Lee and His Men at Gettysburg is both a historical work and an honorary ode to the almost 50,000 soldiers who died at the fields of Pennsylvania. Written with an emphasis on the Confederate forces, the book captures the brilliance and frustration of a general forced to contend with overwhelming odds and in-competent subordinates. Dowdey not only presents the facts of war, but brings to life the cast of characters that defined this singular moment in American history.

Term: High Priest
Hierophant: One of the trumps of the Major Arcana of the tarot. Numbered V. In the system of Eliphas Levi, it corresponds to the Hebrew letter Heh. In the system of the Golden Dawn, The Hierophant corresponds to the Hebrew letter Vav and the astrological sign of Taurus.
Hierophant: An officer of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When the temple is set up for Neophytes, the Hierophant (Greek for "initiating priest") sits in the East, represents the dawning Light, and is the main ritual officer. When a woman holds this office she is called the Hierophatria or Hieropantissa.
High Priest:
A male Witch who, often with a High Priestess, is the leader of a coven. In traditional covens, to achieve this level requires extensive training and experience. In covens that have a three-degree system, a High Priest will have been initiated into the third degree. It is often abbreviated as HP.
The 5th Major Arcanum of the Tarot
Image: Pope or other major religious leader
Hebrew letter: Vav
Divinatory meaning: Authority, Wisdom, Spirituality
Path on the Tree of Life: 16th path connecting Yesod to Tiphareth.
Qabalistic Description. The 5th Key, the 16th Path. Magus of the Eternal Gods. This Path connects Chesed (Mercy) with Chokmah (Wisdom). The primary function of the Hierophant is to tie together the Great Above to that which is Below. The Hierophant is also the Great Teacher of the Mysteries, bringing understanding as the link between sensory experience and inner illumination. Vav means the nail, binding things together.
Card Description. The Hierophant as High Priest is the counterpart of the High Priestess. As Aries is the house of Mars and the exaltation of the Sun, so Taurus is the house of Venus and the exaltation of the Moon. He is the reflective or mystical aspect of the masculine. He is the thinker as the Emperor is the doer.
His colors unlike those of the Emperor vary considerably. Red, orange, maroon, deep brown, and chestnut brown, suggest veiled thought, interior power, endurance, contemplation and reconciliation. This card frequently indicates the hidden guardianship of the Masters.
Interpretation. Divine wisdom, occult wisdom, manifestation, explanation, teaching. The Hierophant differs from, though resembling in some respects, the meaning of The Magician, The Prophet, and The Lovers.
Psychological Value. You may use this Arcanum when you are eager to act, but have not yet figured out what your true heart's desire is, or when you are wasting your efforts on things you don't need, instead of focusing on your truest desires. It helps you develop generosity, sincerity, justice, tact, courtesy and refinement, as well as your sense of order and organization. It can help you to understand how to best present yourself socially. (According to the Divine Arcana of the Aurum Solis—Divinity: Zeus; Greek Letter: Upsilon.)

TNB: Ice Climbing Goes to Sochi Olympics
What you may not know is that climbing HAS been to the Olympics, and it will again. Ha! Soon.
In 2006 Emily Harrington, who won the Serre Chevalier Masters Championship that year, served as a USA Athlete Representative for a sport-climbing event during the Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. Also invited were Vadim Vinokur and, from Canada, Mike Doyle.
This February, up to seven North Americans are off to Sochi for ice climbing—in a "cultural demonstration," whatever that may be.
The N.A. invitees are: Kendra Stritch, a Minnesotan living in Calgary, Alberta; Marc Beverly, Albuquerque (American team organizer); and Aaron Montgomery, Broomfield, Colorado; with Jen Olson and Sarah Hueniken of Canmore, Alberta; Gordon McArthur of Canbrook, British Columbia; and Nathan Kutcher of Saint Catharines, Ontario, for Canada.
The UIAA website reads, "[A]thletes from UIAA member federations will participate in the two-week-long festival in Sochi that occurs at the same time as the Winter Olympics."
Urs Stoecker, the UIAA Ice Climbing president, adjusted this year's competition calendar "to ensure that athletes would be able to participate in the Sochi Winter Olympics festivities in Russia between 7-23 February 2014." The site gives the UIAA's vision that Sochi could help pave the way toward Olympic inclusion.
Granted, no one seems quite to know what the ice climbers will be doing, at least yet.
Kendra Stritch produces at least some information. "We will be doing lead and speed demonstrations," she says, "and also teaching clinics on their ice wall for a few days." Lead and speed are the two competition formats.
From Aaron Montgomery: "To my understanding, they are going to build a structure and the athletes will basically be required to climb on it (not a bad requirement) and to demo the sport by showing people the ins and outs of it. I do not think there will be any organized competition."
Jen Olson, though, finds it hard to imagine there wouldn't be. "The Russians dominate," she says good-humoredly. "They're really good at the sport. They're going to want to show everyone that!"
I once participated in a demonstration event on a rock-climbing wall at the Atlanta Super Show, billed as the world's biggest sporting-goods trade fair. For a daily fee some four or five of us women wore Danskin clothing and climbed and belayed the same 5.10 route, all day every day. Other than that we hung around a lot, chatted, took turns fetching lunch.
That, though, was no Olympics. Being next door to the Games is a lot different from being next door to a motorboat display, beside which girls in bikinis stood stock-still for hours, which looked like far harder work than ours.
The Olympics may give ice/mixed climbing—especially today's athletic, colorful sport—a visibility it's never had before. Creative coursesetters long ago shucked the idea of simulating nature, and now launch the adept climbers up artificial walls to wrench and jump around on hanging cylinders and geometric figures as well as icicles.
Marc Beverly makes a good case for the sport's potential broad appeal and ability to keep spectators "on the edge of their seats."
"The difficulty competition does not allow for a long decision process, it forces the climbers to move. The falls are sometimes impressive and unexpected … Speed is exciting as it is a head-to-head competition (sudden death style)."
Vadim Vinokur recalls that Turin was "pretty unstructured," with bouldering walls erected in a local gym "so that people could watch us session."
"It was good fun," he recalls, "just to hang out and climb with my friends from other national teams. We stayed at a hotel apart from the Olympic athletes but in the same town. I ran into Shaun White before his first Olympic gold. They also arranged tickets for us to watch men's half-pipe finals. All in all, it was a good experience …. picking up some Olympic exposure for climbers and for the sport."
I have known people who got to go to the Olympics as athletes, translators, as film crew; one was a horse trainer, another the Canadian speed-skating team doctor. Ten snow-sport athletes from my area are currently vying to get to Sochi. Who wouldn't want to go to any Olympics?
Marc Beverly says, "Representing the USA in Sochi is a huge deal to me. I'm standing on my mentors' shoulders, [those of] Jeff Lowe and Craig Luebben, and get to pass the torch on to the next generation to represent at the Olympics in the future. It's a very exciting time for ice climbing."
Hope springs eternal for some climbing, any climbing, someday to become part of the Olympics. Gord McArthur has said in an interview that ice climbing could be considered as a medal sport, "perhaps even as early as 2018, in Korea." Why the heck not?
Meanwhile, get psyched for the season. This year's ice comp at the December 13 to 15 Bozeman Ice Festival is the North American Championship, with dreams of morphing into a World Cup next year. World Cup events will follow in South Korea, Romania, Switzerland, France, Italy and Ufa, Russia. North American ice festivals are thriving. Ice fests began in 1984 with the Valdez Ice Festival, at which all 50 attendees stayed at Andy Embick's (brave soul) house. The Ouray Ice Festival, brainchild of Jeff Lowe, has exploded, drawing some 3,000 attendees, even as the area ice park has recharged the town of Ouray the way mountain biking did for Moab. Other friendly, fun, exciting, beer- and hot-chocolate-offering festivals are festooned across the United States and Canada. See our list and info below.
