Quintuplets were in the news last week, with a new set born in Missouri and named Hayley Jane, Amy Elizabeth, Sara Mae, Alex Myron and Ryan Jacob.
Think you could do better? I bet you do!
Naming all-girl quintuplets was one of my formative name nerd fantasies, inspired by the Dionne quintuplets of Canada, the first set of surviving quints and the only set of identical quints ever to survive, according to this list of quint facts.
Their names — Annette, Cecile, Emelie, Yvonne, and Marie — seemed exotically French to me. Yet as a fledgling name nerd, I was itching to have a crack at quint-naming myself.
Lots of berries agree, as evidenced by the more than 500 pages of responses in our forums to the all-girl quintuplet name challenge.
Now let's bring this name game to center stage. What would YOU name a set of girl quintuplets? (Don't worry, we'll tackle boys' names next week.)
Parents expecting looking for baby girl names, comb these responses for good ideas for sister name sets.

I watched part of the NYR/Philly game last night at the bar. Quite the shellacking, as my father would say.
Good luck going into the playoffs. im sure i'll watch, as it's 10000x better than NBA playoffs in my eyes lol.</p>[/quote]It was a WILD game filled with fights, hard hits, and super dirty/chippy play. It started out amazingly, the Rangers were up 5-1 and then Philthy kept nipping at our heels but thank goodness for King Henrik.
We've been playing playoff hockey since February, I know im horribly biased but Thee NYR has gotta be the most exciting team to watch (for a hockey fan, and if we scored more we'd be the perfect team for the on the fence fan) Rangers are always playing tough, physical, fight-filled games, hell our Captain is the best checker on the team (the NHL equivalent of a seeing a Sasquatch, LOL)

I've had this brush for years and I don't know why I still haven't thrown it out. I suppose I can't bring myself to do it knowing I paid 30plus dollars with tax for this brush. Simply put, the brush hurts when you attempt to apply make up. It's a very harsh feeling. I don't know how Stila thought this was a winner...back to drawing board please.1
I like how this is a slanted blush brush! It helped me with certain application techniques as opposed to round or flat blush brushes. However, I would have liked even more of a slant to the bristles. Also, I don't think this is a particularly "pretty" brush. I like to get cuter ones when I can.3
Do not buy this brush. The bristles are so harsh, every time I go to blend on my neck I break out in hives. It's very tough on your face and it picks up so much product and leaves horrible dents in your products.
I highly recommend you do not buy this brush, especially because of the price.
This brush is not worth it for the price! The bristles are very rough compared to soft Sigma, Real Techniques, or MAC brushes that I'm used to. It take a lot of rubbing on to get even my most pigmented blushes on my face and the result are very red and irritated cheeks. My face hurts for a couple hours after applying. The long handle is also annoying and hard to store, but wouldn't have been a deal breaker if the brush was softer.1

The 24/7 habit is alive and well with Kiwi small business owners. But does being available at all hours of the day and night mean you're in control or out of control?
Thanks to modern communications consumers expect faster response times from businesses than ever before, says Karl Baker, franchisor of Red Hot Business Coaching. Reacting quickly to customer needs is vital in the 21sth century, adds Simon Fletcher, owner of the Telecom Business Hub Hawke's Bay.
Not all small business owners see their 24/7 devices as a curse. Some say that their smartphones and tablets make them more productive than ever - with a better work life balance.
For example, says Telecom Hub Kapiti owner Paddy Squibb, the ability to check calendars and make appointments anywhere, anytime, can take a lot of stress off a business owner's shoulders.
Problem or no problem often depends more on the business owner's personality than the 24/7 devices. Some people simply can't switch off.
Ways to manage the 24/7 pressure include:
• Divvying up after-hours contact. Evenings on and evenings off works well for Belly Beyond founders Louisa Currie and Heidi Riley. Currie and Riley accept they need to be more easily contactable than a bricks and mortar store. Consequently the pair's online baby gear business is known for its almost instant customer service. Currie says it can be a real lifesaver for a nursing mother nearing breaking point to hear from a real live person that a breast pump can be on the courier at 9am the next morning. When Currie is on duty she will simply listen out for the notification of an incoming live chat as she watches TV or relaxes in the evening.
• Unplugging. Smartphones have off buttons. It's as simple as that. Decide when you're really not willing to take calls, emails and texts, and unplug. That simple act of pressing the button can prevent total burnout.
• Managing customer expectations. Some customers need instant replies. Other enquiries could be answered in 24 or 48 hours. Each business is different and customers' expectations can be managed with good communication. Whatever the business' policy on response times, it should be communicated to customers in an automated email reply, and adhered to.
• Diverting calls. Squib says learning to divert a phone is a good idea. Calls can be diverted to staff or business partners' landlines or mobiles giving the owner some valuable time out.
• Using a message service. Message services such as Telecom's Mobile PA are cheap and effective says Baker. In his previous life as a mortgage broker Baker feared losing a client every time he let a call go to answerphone. Although potential clients wouldn't leave messages on his voicemail, Baker found that they reacted differently to the human voice at the end of a message service. Leads that would otherwise be lost were converted into business.
• Using downtime to prioritise. Use downtime waiting for meetings or catching public transport, to prioritise and clear, texts, emails and messages. That way the business owner can hit the ground running when they get back to base, says Fletcher.
Finally, it's not just about customers, says Ben Ridler of software company Results.com. If his UK-based software developer hits a snag she can contact Ridler just before he goes to bed and salvage her working day.
Likewise he can now have simultaneous real time conversations with sales staff in the west coast of the United States and Hong Kong, instead of relaying information from one to the other. The time and cost savings are huge.
Can you achieve work life balance


text: Two questions. Do you think he will get booed tomorrow and do you think he will have a good game? I say he will get booed tomorrow by the majority and I also think he will have a decent game. I think it will be extremely hard for him to contain his enthusiasm when he throws his first td against the Lions. He will be walking off the field on a four game winning streak, very content, and the fans will be doing their fire Millen chant. Joey won't be able to wipe the smile off his face thinking about how he escaped that loser of a franchise. Hate to say that cause I have been following them for 40 years. I'm just sick of the whole mess. On Around The Horn today, the host asked if the NFL should continue to allow the Lions to have their thanksgiving day game. Jay Mariotti said the Lion's shouldn't even be allowed to play in the NFL. :( :( :( :(

France 1867 – 1947
View of Cannet
[Vue du Cannet] 1927
oil on canvas
canvas 233.6 (h) x 233.6 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Gift of the Fondation Meyer 2008
© Musée d'Orsay, Dist RMN / Patrice Schmidt
In 1926 Bonnard bought a house, the Villa Rose, on the French Riviera, high in the village of Le Cannet.1 He renamed it 'Le Bosquet' (meaning wooded or bosky). View of Le Cannet, like the decorative panels of Water games and Pleasure (cats 109 and 110), is among the largest canvases Bonnard ever painted. Shaped like an architectural feature, perhaps a window or archway, the vista is contained within a valley seen from the hilltop.
Instead of using conventional greens, Bonnard depicted the palm trees and woods, which frame the composition, in silvery-blues and lime-yellow. The village houses are presented as white walls and red or orange tiled roofs, all but drowning in the bright gold of the mimosa trees. They serve as a yellow fog, half masking the town—like a Renaissance village in an Old Master painting, timeless and perfect. But the scene is also modern, as we can see in the apartment buildings impinging on its edges. At first sight the town seems uninhabited, then we notice people gathering at its arched entrance, perhaps going to market or other daily activities.
Bonnard's search for beauty and harmony is revealed in the contrasting elements of the painting. The cubes and prisms of buildings appear artificial and geometrically precise, allowing a firm structure for the central valley. Natural elements, especially the sweeping arcs of palm foliage and the silvery-grey bushes, are less formal, and highly decorative.
Characteristics such as beauty and decoration became deeply unfashionable as Modernist artists sought more abstract and extreme solutions to pictorial and aesthetic questions in the twentieth century. But for Bonnard, decorative qualities do not detract from the work of art, they are essential. As Henri Matisse stated:
The character of modern art is to participate in life. A painting in an interior spreads joy around it through its colours, which calm us. The colours obviously are not composed haphazardly, but expressively. A painting on a wall should be like a bouquet of flowers in an interior.2
The wealthy industrialist Bernard Reichenbach bought this painting for his new house in Paris, where it probably hung in an alcove in the bedroom.3 For the owner of the painting on a grey Parisian day, surely Bonnard's View of Le Cannet brought a breath of southern spring.

It's hard not to be distracted by the scenery on the road to Aoraki Mt Cook, writes Josie Dale.
It's a magnet for mountaineers from all over the world. Snow or floods have often blocked the Mt Cook road. Tired and hungry travellers would turn up at the nearest lodging, Lake Pukaki Hotel, at all hours. Stories of innkeepers and guests are legendary.
During the 1940s, proprietors of the day, the Grahams, were renowned for brusque but kind-hearted hospitality. One fussy English tourist's main complaint was flies buzzing around while he occupied the long drop toilet. Exasperated, Mrs Graham snapped: "Why don't you go out there at meal times. The flies will all be in the dining room then."
We drive to the mountain, taking the private canal road running between Tekapo River and Lake Pukaki.
Built in the 1970s, it's closed during high winds.
To the northwest, Aoraki Mt Cook towers above its neighbours. Australasia's highest mountain reaches 3754m.
It was 10m taller until, in 1991, over 12 million cubic metres of rock and ice fell off its Northern peak.
I spent my childhood in the Mackenzie basin. The mountain is a familiar well-loved sight, and apart from the canal, the landscape is unchanged. Tawny tussock-covered hills subtly tinted with light and shadow roll fluidly up to the foot of the Southern Alps. There's a refreshing sense of remoteness.
The canal road emerges near the Mt Cook Alpine salmon farm at Lake Pukaki. Buy some salmon here. It's straight from the pond fresh.
Alongside the farm numerous campervans and cars are parked up. Fishermen sit patiently hoping to bag "the big" brown or rainbow trout, or even an escapee salmon. Lake Pukaki's water is a distinctive milky blue, caused by finely ground glacial rock particles.
Those of pre-decimal currency vintage may be familiar with Five Pound Note Island. Thanks to the Waitaki hydro-electric scheme, it was submerged in the 1970s.
Sadly, the historic hotel is gone and only anecdotes survive. It too was a victim of the hydro-electric scheme. Now the nearest hotel is five minutes drive away at Twizel.
It's 50km from the main road to Aoraki Mt Cook National Park. Drive carefully. The spectacular mountain scenery around every bend is a dangerous distraction.
Nearer Mt Cook village we have a clear view of Mt Sefton looming impressively behind the Hermitage Hotel. Visitors often mistake it for Mt Cook.
Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park covers an area of 700km/sq, 40 per cent of which is covered by glaciers. There are19 peaks over 3000m tall. No wonder it's a magnet for mountaineers from all over the world. Together with Westland, Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks it's a Unesco World Heritage site.
Before he "knocked the bastard off" in 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary honed his mountaineering skills in the Southern Alps. The ascent of Aoraki Mt Cook was his first major climb. Adjacent to the Hermitage, in the shadow of Mt Sefton, his bronze statue gazes out to the mountains.
The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre at the hotel is worth a look for its interesting museum, theatre and planetarium.
We head off from the village to walk to the Hooker Glacier terminal lake. We're too late to see the iconic but misnamed Mt Cook lily in flower. Actually, the world's largest buttercup, clumps of its hand-sized shiny green leaves are easy to spot.
Swaying swing bridges cross the Hooker River twice. A large tourist group clad in beige "mountaineering" gear turns back at the first bridge, happy with their "fast food" version of a mountain tramp.
It's a raw, beautiful place. The silence is broken only by an occasional rumble from the surrounding mountains, or the screech of a kea. We can see the blue/white face of the Hooker Glacier at the head of the small terminal lake. Freezing greyish water supports floating chunks of ice. Down the valley, Lake Pukaki sparkles in the distance. It's an easy two-hour downhill walk back to the village.
There's a range of accommodation, from camping and backpacker lodges to the Hermitage Hotel. Tonight we're opting for a motel.
The setting sun glows red over the mountain. "Look," I say. "Tomorrow will be fine. There'll be time for another walk before we leave."
My better half sighs. "Maybe," he replies.

FDA Wants Consumers to Report Problems »
"A new consumer-friendly form ( is now available for making reports to MedWatch, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) on-line system for collecting information about serious problems with drugs, medical devices and other FDA-"...
(Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine)
Menactra®, Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine, is a sterile, intramuscularly administered vaccine that contains Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A, C, Y and W-135 capsular polysaccharide antigens individually conjugated to diphtheria toxoid protein. Nmeningitidis A, C, Y and W-135 strains are cultured on Mueller Hinton agar3 and grown in Watson Scherp4 media. The polysaccharides are extracted from the N meningitidis cells and purified by centrifugation, detergent precipitation, alcohol precipitation, solvent extraction and diafiltration. To prepare the polysaccharides for conjugation, they are depolymerized, derivatized, and purified by diafiltration. Corynebacterium diphtheriae cultures are grown in a modified Mueller and Miller medium5 and detoxified with formaldehyde. The diphtheria toxoid protein is purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and diafiltration. The derivatized polysaccharides are covalently linked to diphtheria toxoid and purified by serial diafiltration. The four meningococcal components, present as individual serogroup-specific glycoconjugates, compose the final formulated vaccine. No preservative or adjuvant is added during manufacture. Each 0.5 mL dose may contain residual amounts of formaldehyde of less than 2.66 mcg (0.000532%), by calculation. Potency of Menactra vaccine is determined by quantifying the amount of each polysaccharide antigen that is conjugated to diphtheria toxoid protein and the amount of unconjugated polysaccharide present.
Menactra vaccine is manufactured as a sterile, clear to slightly turbid liquid. Each 0.5 mL dose of vaccine is formulated in sodium phosphate buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution to contain 4 mcg each of meningococcal A, C, Y and W-135 polysaccharides conjugated to approximately 48 mcg of diphtheria toxoid protein carrier.
There is no latex in any component of the vial.

Informal survey looked at those who are involved in dairy production.
by Patti Hurtgen, Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
After presenting various terms to describe those that work with dairy cattle everyday, we have the results of our survey, mentioned in our blog a few weeks ago. In total, there were 97 respondents.
Men in dairy production were most comfortable with the terms "dairyman" (26.9 percent), "farmer" (19 percent) and "dairy producer" (11.5 percent). However, when only allowed to choose one, they preferred "dairy farmer" by 42.3 percent. When given all options, over half of those surveyed chose any of the above choices. "Farm operator" was only accepted by 18.4 percent. Dairy farmer gives a more specific term than just farmer and it seems like a warmer, more personal word than dairy producer.
Women in dairy production preferred to be called "dairy farmers" by a 64.4 percent vote. They also preferred, but to a much lesser degree, "farmer" (15.6 percent), "dairy producer" (8.9 percent) and "dairy woman" (6.7 percent). The option of dairyman and farm operator had one vote each. While "dairy woman" was quite low for preferred naming, half of the respondents were comfortable with the term. In a follow-up question, women noted they would be comfortable being called a dairy farmer which led the way with 78.3 percent, yet dairy producer gained momentum here with over 65 percent of women stating they would be comfortable with that terminology.
However, allied industry gave more support to "dairy producer" for men with 57.1 percent usage, yet "dairy farmer" got the highest marks for women at 63.2 percent. For women, farmer and dairy producer followed with 57.9 percent and 52.6 percent, respectively. It may be a way to be more inclusive to both men and women clients and customers. Many of them farm and dairy, while others choose to focus on cow care and leave the crop work to others. This could have been their justification for giving dairy producer the highest scores as compared to female and males in their business.
But the real test may be what the consumer calls us. "Farm operator" got low marks throughout the survey. Probably because the visual of a farm operator is difficult for the average consumer, but dairy farmer or farmer conjures up a vivid image. "Dairy farmer" was the highest recognized at 88.2 percent. Consumers could vote for more than one option, so other options were farmer (52.9 percent), dairyman (47.1 percent), dairy producer (35.3 percent) and farm operator at a mere 5.9 percent.
Dairy people want to be known as dairy farmers and that is how consumers recognize us. So, if the opportunity presents itself to address the media in person or in print, you might consider using dairy farmer to better connect with your consumer.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for splaining...and people laughed at me for embroidering caskets, seriously.
You have too much time on your hands!!!!
Well, now I think I have seen it all. Embroidery on TP? Really? It begs the question...why? (Don't answer, please. I really don't want to know.)
"A woman is like a tea bag-you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt
Wow, this is absolutely funny! A good plan.
My sister has a dog and a cat, so, I made some toilet paper designs for her. One has a cat sitting by some unrolled toilet paper and it says "I didn't do it" and another one where the cat says, "The dog did it". Then I have one where the dog is sitting by some unrolled tp and it says, "I didn't do it" and one that says, "The cat did it". I also have football, soccer, and some other ones. They are fun to do. I give them as gifts.
I have embroiderd on TP. I tore off 5 sheets and put soft cut away stabilizer on the back of the 3rd piece. Be careful of the design you pick as you don't want a dense embroidery. X-stitch works well. Stitch pattern, trim stablizer, and carefully put back around roll. Wrap with tulle and a ribbon. Here are my projects.
I love doing them. They sell great at craft shows.
Hoop tearaway stabilizer. Spray with 505. Lay 1st sheet if tp centered over stabilizer. Do not use dense designs. Unroll a few sheets so the hoop can move w/o tearing the tp. When done. I cut the stabilizer to fit the emb. sheet, then roll it back up. I then wrap the roll in celophane paper. Saran Wrap colored paper works great. Please do try one.
Great house warming gifts!

No. 241. (,-0-19')0-8-97·) !lOME DUMIJ-BELL IJIULL.
Rob,'rt J. Rob~rts.
This drill is called the HOllh' Dumb-Bell Drill because it is so simple that it can be done in the home or anywhere
It is a health Or hygienic drill. Emphasis is laid on the movements which exercise the back, as by this means erect carriage is secured.
The drill is not an experimen t, but has been in successful
usc for over ten years.
NOTES TO HOME l)U~IB-BELI. DRIl. L,
"Vhen you know the drill .iltll drop the sixteenth or twenty-fourth count and name the following exercise instead,
thus pass from one movement to another without making any stoj>. The effect is plcasilll{, and on that account
more beneficial. Always work long enough to get the body into a state of free perspiration when you use this drill as a substitute for your gymnasium hour. Don't forget to take a sponge bath afterward. When the body is vcry fat, drink little, eat less, and work harder in the open air. When practicing the drill work hard and moderately
fast ; put much force and power into all the body swings and arm thrusts and sweeps. Repeat and repeat a movement over and over again before you pass on to the next exercise. 'Vhile working, wear a heavy, loose, loosely WOVen woollen sweater. Take a cool sponge bath right after your exercise. lJ se this drill wisely, as out of it you can make slow, light, quick, or heavy work, as the state of your constitution and temperament may demand
v 116
To illustrate: If you are of a nervous t(!mperament practice
the drill slowly. If very fat or of a phlegmatic temperament,
with a few exceptions. do your work more quickly. If you are in a fairly normal condition, work moderately strong and fast enough to make the body perspire.
If you wish to grow very strong and gain a showy muscular development, work hard, slow, and long, and put strong action into all parts of each exercise, as though you were using five-pound bells. Be careful not to overdo in this last way of working, as you can make yourself as S!07il and muscle bound as a heavy lifter or heavy dumbbell
pusher. Free bodily movements, of which this clrill is a type, are the foundation of body-building work. To prevent
any soreness, practice very lightly and for short periods of time the first six or seven times. Then increase
your working time in moderate doses, and practice the drill the days you do not attend the gymnasium. If you are faithful for a season in the daily practice of this valuable little home drill, you will become more active, stronger, more enduring, and better able to drink in more freel y than ever before that only true purifier of the blood
-fresh outdoor air.
If your chest is flat follow the hint that is given with the flip, and don't go beyond a vertical and practice the front chest elevator an extra number of times. If your chest is narrow pay much attention to the faithful practice of side chest elevator and the vertical push. \Vhen the chest is flat and narrow everything should be done to quickly increase the size of the chest. Practice d.:I'P hreatltillg, indoors {llId out. If the muscular chest is poorly developed, practice the muscular chest very often. If the abdomen is large the flip is your special work, taking care to always go b~'olld your vertical. If you are stoopshouldered
the dry land swim is indicated. If the loins are weak the cradle rock is the work to practice the most. Generally the parts of this drill that should be used the 117
most are' the parts that weary one the quickest. Take
the special work at a time of the day that you feel fresh
alld strong. Always stop exercising when you feel ill a
state of invigoration; if you exercise till you feel tir~d
out it will do more harm than good.
This drill may be done many different way~. The best
way to do it, when the small of the back is weak and the
glutxus (or buttock muscles) are poorly developed, is to
practice it with the heels close together and the knees
In the stiff arm movements be careful to swing to sidehorizontals
and to swing down close by the sides of thighs
As you do so, keep your chin in close to your neck and
your head up and back.
This Home Dumb-Bell Drill is for the average man. Counting up to thirty-two will take about five minutes. Take it strong and quick in the morning, followed up with a quick, cool sponge bath, and it will stimulate. Taken before going to bed, it should be gone through slowly, and it will prove a good sedative, especially if it be supplemented
with a warm bath. The drill should only be taken the day you omit attending the gymnasium. (Take for your special work the part of the drill that affects the weakest portion of your body, because the body should be developed by moderate and light exertions rather than heavy and dangerous ones, the weakest portions always receiving chief attention. and being more frequently subjected
to movements adapted to their invigoration and growth.)
This drill may be conducted without any bells in the hands. It was devised for a class of persons who could find but little time to attend the gymnasium. such as commercial
travellers, husiness and professional men. Open your windows wide and let in the fresh air, and practice this drill just before your meals. If )'Olt have time to ~at.
j'OU have tl"lllL' to exercise. liS
Use wooden bells weighing from one to two pounds each. The Gymnasium Dum!J-Beli Drill, from which this Home Dumb-Bell Drill is an extract, is for all. It is the Graham bread and butter of body-building exercises. (If your health is good and you are in fair form, go lightly and loosely clad while doing your work. If health is poor or body too fat, clothe all parts of the body warmly but loosely. The person in poor health saves vitality and the person oyerfat loses his extra fat the sooner. Gargle your throat with cold water after doing the drill, but drink but little if you are a fat man.)

~IUDIFICATIONS OF TilE DU~!l!-BELL DRILL.
The following modifications are intended for lise where the dumb-bell drill is run so steadily as to make it monotonous,
or where it is desired to make it progressively difficult. Thus, one modification might he introduced each month. They add not only to th e effectiveness, but to the beauty of the drill.
I. }("II,","S stmight; that is, in all the movements in which there is bending forward at the waist and where there is a tendency to bend the knees, keep them vigorously
., .f(//t'es .rtr{lI:~'·ht aud fed to.gl'ther. Thu~, i.nstead of
swinging between the legs in 1,3, 5, and 7, the bells are simply swung to the toes.
In Nos. 1, 3, 5, and 7 jump the feet together every time the bell comes from between the legs. Thus, on the first movement, the side pushes, the individual is supposed to be standing erect, with feet together, bells at sides. The teacher says, " Ready, swing!" On the first count the legs arc spread and the arms thrust in between the knees, as shown in the illustrations. On the second count the feet are jumped together again and are kept together during the third and fourth count.. On the fifth count they are spread, and on the sixth count jumped together again. This is an excellent modification.
On the even movements, that is, 2, 4, 6, and 8, add the front charges as follows, taking moyemen t :\'0. ~, muscular chest; Count I, arms sides horizontals; ~,arms
front horizontal, left foot advanced, and step straigh t forward, making a forward charge; 3, hring left foot back, arms sides horizon tal; 4, arms to sides. )Iext time ad· vance the right foot, always having them alternating. This modification includes the jumping motion of the third.
5. Same as NO.4, only have charges oblique forward
to right and left. Face in the direction in which charge i'made. 138
Same as NO.5. only with the charge straight to the side.
Same as NO.3. only make a quarter turn every time the feet are jumped together. This is a very pretty com· bination. if done to I () counts.
8. Half turns, same as NO.7.
To any of the modifications from 4 to 8 add a short jump forward on count 2 and backward on count 3, in movements 2, 4, 6 and 8.
Have bells strike the floor when swung between feet.
II. Do the same with knees straight and feet together. as in the second modification.
These modifications are largely suggestive. The thought. ful teacher will see an indefinite number of useful modifications
which can be made, using these as a basis.

I am trying an experiment based on what I have read in the past year or so of Tim Ives' management style (big colonies, early supering to prevent swarming).
I overwintered my (single) hive with three deeps, which were full of honey and pollen. The colony is ramping up nicely (though I don't have a Tim Ives level of population). About ten days ago I inspected, had capped drone, put on four supers (he uses seven typically). My understanding is Tim supers before the drone emerges. Tim said in a post that the drones take 16 days to mature and so when they emerge, the bees will make their queens cells (if they are going to).
My question is this: Tim Ives alternates undrawn foundation in first box, then drawn, undrawn, etc.. In addition, once they get started, he rotates undrawn boxes downwards to just above the brood boxes. I don't have any drawn medium frames to put in the supers but the top (3rd) deep has a lot of honey. Should I be worried that they won't cross that box to draw frames and store nectar in the four supers above it? Should I put the deep of honey above one of the supers to get them crossing (and drawing) the foundation in a super? My other concern is, if I do that, the queen might start laying in that box... but if that is a risk I must take, I will deal with it.
Anyway, as a third year beekeeper with one hive (lost three to AFB last summer), despite all my reading here, I need some advice. I was planning on inspecting tomorrow - and if I see any swarm cells, remove them, and move the top (third) deep up and place a super between it and the bottom two deeps.
Any and all advice would be appreciated. Want to have a plan (and some confidence in it) before I go in tomorrow. Or perhaps I should just leave them alone?
Thanks in advance.

Reviews of this property
Beata was very nice and responsive to all of our requests. Wimdu on the other hand was not good at all. Go through AirBnB for Beata's booking. Wimdu charged us for 6 people when we were 5 people, and did not offer our money back. Their system is antiquated, by comparison to other systems.
We also booked our place in Italy through Wimdu, and the owner is having a hard time collecting their money, by saying that we did not pay for the owner to collect. I showed the owner our proof of payment.
Beata is great, but Wimdu is terrible, so do yourself a favor and book, get the phone number of the place, and cancel the booking to call and book directly with the owner.

We stayed at the apartment for 5 days. Like to thank you for your hospitality and the stay at your apartment. It was well equiped and have missed nothing even tables for the dishwasser were avalable. The apartment is located close to the Kazimierz area (less than 5 minutes walk) and city center (20 minutes walk). Just around the corner you have some great restaurants. The super market and backer is only a 1 minute walk. Really great place to be.
The apartment is wonderful. Quite tidy and clean, cozy like the pictures show. Beata is so kind and polite. I feel desire to come back to Krakow!
Really good and nice apartment.
PERFEKT location, in the city but not in the middle!
Good to have the bikes, that was amazing!
We had a great stay in Krakow. We would like to return when it is cold and possibly snowing. Not sure when the best time for this is but will be researching !!!!
The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed including a private parking space.
We would like to suggest that 2 fans would be useful when the weather is very hot.
Certainly be booking an apartment again, beats a hotel any day.
Yvonne and family
It's great place for stay: elegant & snug with a lot of space and big beds, just a walk far from old town and Kazimierz. We're very glad. Beata is very nice & helpful :) host.
A fine appartment. The appartment is at the edge of the former Getto. It is 5 minutes walking to the yewish district (just cross the bridge). It takes 15 or 20 minutes to walk to the center of Krakau. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the castle. There is a streetcar nearby wich can take you to everything when you prefer to keep your shoes in a new condition.
We visite the saltmines and Auschwitz. We drove there by car, there ar a lot of parking possibilities at the attractions.
Krakau is a beautifull place and the apparment was very good place to stay during the visites.
Great appartement!!! Very clean, easy to find, easy to park and not far from the old town! Thanks for letting us stay :)

2013 Pharma Report: Don't Look Back!
2013 Pharma Report: Don't Look Back!
What's that image fading from view? Pharma just sped through an unprecedented period of patent expiries, during which some $30 billion in brand revenue went over the cliff. But stay focused on the road. Another patent peak, equally scary, lies ahead. Marc Iskowitz reports
The sluggish economy, combined with what Michael Kleinrock, director, research development for the IMS Institute, calls "an unprecedented period of patent expiries," led to a drop in overall drug spend of 1% last year to $325.8 billion—the first time IMS had ever recorded a decrease in US drug sales.
The period from 2008-2012 was the biggest-ever for expiries, says Kleinrock. Following Lipitor's 2011 patent implosion, last year saw the demise of mega-blockbusters like Bristol-Myers Squibb's blood thinner Plavix. The impact is evident on the following list; only half the companies grew US sales.
Kleinrock expects the same minus-one growth in 2013, due to "the carryover of 2012 expiries," before spending rebounds in 2014 and then another patent peak hits. The two peaks—2011-12 and 2014-15—are relatively similar in size, with about $30 billion of lost sales per year for brands.
Milder impact from expiries, breakthrough drug approvals, and healthcare reform will drive spend on prescription drugs to rise by 3-4% in 2014, IMS predicts. Growth will then fall to just over 2% in 2015 and climb again in 2016 to almost 4%.
Why not a return to double-digit growth? Many new drugs target smaller patient populations. Also, generic meds accounted for 84% of prescriptions dispensed in 2012 and, in another five years or so, will probably reach 87%.
"We're at sort of a saturation point," Kleinrock says, where "newer brands with better efficacy will be used, and that will slow down all of these gains that generics are making."
That, and specialty drug prices, spending for which boomed 18.4% last year, according to Express Scripts. "The specialty drugs are less price-sensitive, and we will continue to see the portion of specialty medications grow in the total drug bill," says Jeffrey Russell, North American managing director for Accenture's life sciences practice.
Revenue losses notwithstanding, pharmas have helped shore up profitability and shareholder value by slimming down, doing mega-mergers and in-licensing products. Going forward, what capabilities will help them?
"New products are the key to survival, " says fund manager Les Funtleyder, now with Poliwogg. Some on the list are spending 17-20% of revenues on R&D. Yet, while pipelines have been looking more attractive, R&D attrition rates have risen. And due to major pressures in the pricing and reimbursement area, "The industry can no longer continue to emphasize clinical efficacy and safety requirements to determine which therapies to develop," Russell says.
Commanding higher prices, even for personalized medicines, will take total product value and real-world evidence. If not, pricing levels will not be sustainable.
"We have to do a better job when we bring new products to market," agrees Robert Bazemore, president, Janssen Biotech. "The burden's going to fall much more on us to demonstrate the value these products really add."
Janssen biologics like Remicade helped parent Johnson & Johnson keep US losses in check and to grow global revenue. But with Remicade due to hit the patent wall in 2018, the company exemplifies the pressure the industry faces.
"Many expected industry growth to decline much more than it actually has ended up doing," concludes Kleinrock. "To keep it at only -1% is a pretty big success in a number of ways."

text: There was definitely some crappy officiating going on out there, and I do think some of those refs should at least hear from the league about it, but I agree with what the game re-capper on the Warriors blog said: And the fact that the Warriors had only 9 assists against 24(!) turnovers didn't exactly put them in a good position even without the officiating coming into it. The Warriors re-capper ends with this:

By Warren Arceneaux / American Press
Forget about those deals on big-screen TVs and smartphones that will be obsolete in two years, this Friday will be all about football in Southwest Louisiana for the first time in a while.
Five teams will be playing quarterfinal games, the area's largest contingent since 1999, when six teams — eventual 2A state champion Iota, Jennings, LaGrange, Sam Houston, Washington-Marion and Welsh all played, with the Broncos knocking off the Charging Indians.
There won't be any intra-area games this week, but the quintet of teams are an interesting group.
Barbe and Jennings were in the quarterfinals last year and have a history of long playoff runs. Barbe has been ranked among the top five teams in the state all year, deservedly so. The Bucs stormed through a tough regular season schedule with a 9-1 record, picking up wins over ranked teams Acadiana, Carencro and Evangel.
Jennings had more questions coming into the season, but has once again benefitting from the coaching wizardry of Rusty Phelps and a star-making offensive system that has produced another pair of star running backs in Jarquis Brown and Charlie Matte, who has been on a tear since stepping into a starting role midway through the season. The Bulldogs are back on the road this week at No. 5 Livonia, but the Bulldogs have a large following and are familiar with the Wildcats after playing a home-and-home series in 2009-10.
Iowa and LaGrange picked up statement wins this week.
For the Yellow Jackets, the win over North Vermilion put an exclamation point on their turnaround season. After missing the playoffs the past two seasons, Iowa's pair of playoff wins will give the program some positive momentum. Head coach Sean Richard has proven he is capable of building a championship program with his work in baseball, and this playoff run will put the football program on the same track as the school's softball and boys basketball programs that have made strides in recent years.
For LaGrange, the wins the past two weeks have ended a decade-long drought and completed the rebuilding that has taken place under Jules Sullen. The Gators have been playoff regulars during Sullen's tenure, but had not won or hosted a game until this season. The Gators achieved both of those goals with a bi-district win over Franklinton, then followed that with a win at St. Martinville.
The wins should add confidence to an emerging program. Last year the Gators had a shot to be outright district champions but lost a Week 10 showdown at Washington-Marion before going out in the first round of the playoffs.
This year the Gators beat W-M in a crucial Week 10 clash to earn a share of the district title and have continued building momentum. With a host of talented youngsters already playing big roles, there is no reason to expect the Gators to regress much in coming years.
The final quarterfinalist, Basile, has been a steady winner under Tony Bertrand. This year the Bearcats have unleashed a big-time playmaker in Kendrick Ceaser, who ran for 221 yards in Friday's win over Plain Dealing, putting the Bearcats in the quarterfinals for the first time since 1996, when the Bearcats reached the semis.
Traditional power Kentwood stands in the way of a repeat of that feat, but with a stout defense and a player in Ceaser who can produce touchdowns out of nothing, the Bearcats can't be counted out, and will be the lone area team with a home-field advantage this week.

Reviews of this property
The apartment was clean, had wifi and other aminities and was comfortable for 2 people. It is in a central location, practically at the plaza in san telmo, where apart from the market we enjoyed a tango show on Sunday eve. At night (Fri, Sat, Sun) there was a lot of (partying) noise until 3-4am, and it disturbed our sleep, though I'm not a light sleeper. Otherwise there is no traffic or other noise. The last night in the place before a regular weekday was quiet.
As I had made a mistake in writing down the street number, we spent an hour at night with luggage trying to find it. Since the host's mobile number was, and still is, wrong on the site, we couldn't get hold of him either - there was a random person on the phone who naturally didn't know what is going on. I even tried to call the Wimdu call center, but they didn't answer either.
As Wimdu was a new service for me, and a few hundred dollars had already been charged from my account, the situation got us pretty nervous. By chance we found the place in the end, and everything ended well.
I recommend the place especially if you prefer central over quiet, and want easy and fast bus access to several places, like puerto madero or la boca.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very very quiet place, absolutely no noise, as Mariano says it's like an oasis! 10mn walk from the Aerbusezeiza stop to the airport (av Begrano/Passeo Colon) close to several food shop and buses. Wifi sometimes weak. An old house with a nice patio but even if we felt secure, the street may look a little bit strange. Anyway i would recommend this place though a bit expensive considering the area.
Thank you very much for a very peaceful place in a very nice neighborhood and that will certainly become one of the trendiest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. We felt really good dice or the moment we stepped through the door .I highly recommend this place
Merci beaucoup pour cet endroit trés paisible dans un quartier fort sympathique et qui certainement va devenir un des quartiers branchés de Buenos Aires . Nous nous sommes senties réellement bien dés l'instant ou nous avons franchi la porte .Je recommande vivement ce lieu
studio very well located in an area at once calm and animated. Excellent stay. thank you to mariano Elbio.
studio très bien placé dans une zone à la fois calme et animée. excellent sejour. merci à mariano elbio.
the apartment was overall good but the most annoying wifi I have ever used, this is not a wifi apartment, you need to go out from the apartment to make it work. If the wifi had worked this would have been a four star apartment, overall good but not perfect.
pluses are:
+The host Elbino
+SIze and furnishing
minuses are:
-No fan so its hard to fry on the pan.
The flat is awesome, very well situated, nice furniture, very good bed. My only point of critique is that the wifi does not work in the flat and that you have to go into an extra room to have internet access.
Very nice and well located.
Très agréable et bien situé.
The apartment is well situated in San Telmo, very central, a lot of places can be reached easily by a short walk. It was equipped with everything you need for cooking and it was also quiet.
What a great city! Our booking was managed prompty and efficiently by Mariano. He arranged a airport shuttle for us which was waiting for us at the airport. (A return shuttle was also arranged for us which arrived on time to take us to the airport). Zuni was there to meet us with our key as arranged when we arrived. The apartment was on the ground floor and was delightfully charming; just as it was advertised. We were thrilled to find a complimentary bottle of local wine in the apartment. The weather was colder than expected but this did not present a problem as the apartment has airconditioning that kept it warm and cosy but that could be switched off as required. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities more than adequate. The apartment is situated in the heart of the San Telmo Barrio and within walking distance of great cafes and restaurants. Great value for money and would definitely recommend this to those who are seeking comfortable, convenient accommodation at a good price!
Very nice setting for this small loft. Pretty patio home. A haven of peace .. We especially enjoyed the cleaning done once a semaine.ce was a pleasant stay. Thank you
Cadre très agréable pour ce petit loft. Joli patio d'accueil. Un havre de paix.. On a particulièrement apprécié le ménage fait une fois par semaine.ce fut un agréable séjour. Merci

You really think the comparison is that crazy? I sure don't.
You really think the comparison is that crazy? I sure don't.
Brady will be considered better than Montana by the time his career is over.
Its an extremely fair comparison. Brady is an outstanding QB and one of the rare greats. He's not quite as good under pressure as Joe was, but he's still very much up there with him as far as overall QB talent. The comparison is valid IMO.
Back in the 80's, the NFC West wasn't so great either. Remember, you had the L.A. Rams, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons in that division. Those teams weren't so great. The Rams were 2nd best in that division with 7 trips to the playoffs. in that decade. 0-2 in the NFC conference game. The Patriots are in a similar situation, like you inferred. Bills are not good. Dolphins are not good and the Jets.....well....the circus has yet to leave town. Joe Montana was Brady's favorite player growing up, so Brady did emulate him. They are very similar in nature. Both QBs have a difficult time when they are pressured. The Giants of '86 and '90 proved that, KO'ing Joe in both post season games. While, the Giants of '07 and '11 did not KO Tom Brady, they did pressure Brady to the point where he could not function the way he normally does. Much like Joe when he got hit. When Jim Burt nailed him in the NFC Divisional round and LT picked off Montana and scored, I thought Burt killed Joe. He nailed him and he went flying, curled in a fetal position and did not move. So there are similarities. While Joe Montana was a great QB, I would probably want someone like Brady under center for my team, just because he is a little bit more durable than Montana....especially if you are facing a defense like the Giants in the 80s. Yes, Brady did miss the entire 2008 season due to an injury. But then again, if you put Brady in the 80s, and he faced our D back then, he'd probably end up with a short career. I don't know. Both QBs are great. It is a tough comparison. Enjoy the remainder of the NFL season gang!
as well they should ....Brady just passed Montana on the for most career postseason wins and Brady never had the likes of Jerry Rice , Roger Craig and a Charles Haley type of passrusher on the D' too....plus 50 touchdowns in a single season....if Brady gets another SB ring he"s got Joe beat for sure

I have a 4x20 thats close that spidey sent me. The mounts are close (the right style rails) and the screws are acurate. The knobs are also close. The only real thing I can tell by looking at them is the hardware brackets for mounting the scope, are not acurate. They are not tall enough and do not hook under far enough.
But my real problem is it looks undersized. I dont know why. Something about my eyes maybe.
Anyone have a real ASI acurate scope they can throw a ruler next to and take a picture of? As long as theres a ruler in the picture, I can gather all of the other information about dimensions digitally.
If anyone can point me to the information that would be swell

Capt. V
I had a Romak that had the case separate at the base because the bolt was not fully rotated when fired, resulting in excessive head space. The hammer was not the stock shape and didn't hit the projection on the back of the bolt carrier that it is suppose to stop the hammer from hitting the firing pin if the bolt carrier is not fully forward. It had a 1.5mm receiver and nothing more happened than it blew the top cover off. It wasn't my gun and I was given Bulgarian yellow tip Maxim high pressure 7.62x54R ammo to shoot, which should never be shot in a AK variant.
P.S. My son is building a M-76 in .308 with a heavy target barrel. The barrel threads on a Winchester and Ruger are 1"-16tpi, which is just the right size to thread RPK trunnion which would give you a much stronger barrel to trunnion connection and you can put the gas block where you want and drill the gas port hole as small as needed to just cycle the action. I found that on a belt feed you need the gas pressure to push on the piston a lot longer before it's relieved to accuate the feed cam. Basically you need to convert a short stroke gas system to a long stroke gas system.

What up party people? Hope your Friday is going swimmingly thus far. I'm so glad it's Friday aren't you? It's been a long hellishly hot week in the Bay Area this week. And by hot I don't mean 78 degrees. Most people think San Francisco/Bay Area peeps are weather wimps (and we kinda are when it comes to cold weather) but I mean 95-100 at my house. Blech! I love me some hot weather but let's try keeping it around 80-85 ok?
Speaking of hotness the new Barielle Brilliant Colors Collection for summer 2013 features five new hot creme shades. It's been a really long time since I reviewed Barielle. Maybe even three years?! They kind of fell off my radar but I think they are making somewhat of a comeback now.
The formula of these five was really, really good. Their cremes are really thick, but not in a bad way. They cover like a dream and you only need one to two coats. Fabulous!

When we have a willing partner like NH State Parks or the Forest Service, we owe them the respect to let them run through their review process and get approvals ahead of time. Ultimately I think we end up with a better trail network in the long run. In many cases, having a few people collaborate on trail layout avoids the mistakes of "one man's vision" and the learning curve of designing a really good trail.
My $.02 anyway
