Manager Herman Stadtlander supervises and chef Min Young cooks under the inspirational guidance of legendary chef Michael Statlander.
With the Stadtlander family's philosophy of ethical food, at Haisai you can expect dishes deeply connected to the surrounding bounty of nature.
All our ingredients are locally grown or raised on Eigensinn Farm, foraged from the surrounding countryside or sourced from neighboring organic farms. Our fish is fished from Georgian Bay, in the winter months produce is dug from our own root cellar. The wine list is selected from small vineyard Ontario wineries.
Whether stinging nettle & potato soup, Eigensinn Farm pork Gyoza or wood fired pizza, our dishes are animated by seasonal flavors and textures both familiar and strange.
At Haisai, the process of raising, growing and sourcing, fresh, local and organic ingredients, converting them into fine cuisine and serving it in reasonably priced dishes is our passion.
As unique as the food, so too is the atmosphere of the restaurant. The interior and exterior is constructed and decorated using found and recycled materials. Every stick of furniture is unique and individually constructed by Michael and his friends.
We think Haisai provides a unique meeting place for diners to come and experience the surroundings, eat the seasons and share enjoyment.
We look forward to meeting you.
Eigensinn farm is the primary source of ingredients for Haisai dishes in concert with the bounty from the waters and forests of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment.
Haisai extends Eigensinn farm philosophies and practice of using locally raised and foraged ingredients as much as possible.

Reviews of this property
Nice, fresch and clean flat. It´s close to shopping, good cafés and restaurant, and it´s close to S-bahn and U-bahn. We had av very good stay. No problem at all.
The reception was fine, bed good and the location and size of the apartment as well; less fine we found that the apartment was not clean: not emptied trash bin, dabs her bath and behind sofa, dirty refrigerator, beast under the refrigerator, dirty soap on the sink; In short, the occasional shudder ... Continue refrigerator cooled not good because the freezer was full of ice, light refrigerator was not functioning, hood did not, towel bathroom piece, empty toilet cleaner bottle, no wine glasses, not enough utensils, no mounting brackets in the kitchen, sloppy curtain unsavory toilet bowl. Fortunately, only three ...
de ontvangst was prima, het bed goed en de ligging en de grootte van het appartement ook; minder fijn vonden we het dat het appartement niet goed schoon was: niet geleegde afvalbak, dotten haar in bad en achter bedbank, vieze koelkast, beest onder de koelkast, vies stuk zeep op de wastafel; kortom, af en toe griezelen... Verder: koelkast koelde niet goed omdat de vriezer vol zat met ijs, licht koelkast functioneerde niet, afzuigkap deed het niet, handdoekenrek badkamer stuk, lege wc-reinigerfles, geen wijnglazen, onvoldoende keukengerei, geen ophanghaakjes in de keuken, slordig gordijn, onappetijtelijke wc-pot. Gelukkig maar drie nachten...
We were greeted by Alan very nice and the details of the rooms and the surrounding area with shops explained very well. Localization is perfect, very close to tram and metro Schönhauser all. Shops, bakeries, pubs, etc. all very close spot. The only flaw: It could be a little cleaner and a television in the room would not be bad.
Anyway, I would stay there again.
Wir wurden von Alan sehr nett empfangen und die Einzelheiten zum Zimmer sowie die Umgebung mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sehr gut erläutert. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist ideal, sehr nah an Straßenbahn und an der U-Bahn Schönhauser Alle. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Bäcker, Kneipen usw. alles sehr nah vor Ort. Der einzigste Mangel: Es könnte etwas sauberer sein und ein Fernseher im Zimmer wäre auch nicht schlecht.
Auf jeden Fall würde ich dort wieder übernachten.
The apartment is well equipped and was spacious enough even for us as 4köpfige family. Unfortunately there were some dust and hair in the corners or under the bed (we had to show yes) which would have been nice if it had been cleaned since a bit more thoroughly.
Das Appartment ist gut ausgestattet und war sogar für uns als 4köpfige Familie geräumig genug. Leider gab es doch etwas Staub und Haare in den Ecken bzw unterm Sofa (das wir ja ausklappen mussten), das wäre nett gewesen wenn da etwas gründlicher geputzt worden wäre.
A small bright and modern furnished apartment, quiet and comfortable accommodation in the courtyard, nice host who spoke English with us.
Eine kleine hell und modern eingerichtete Wohnung, zentral und doch ruhig im Innenhof, netter Gastgeber, der auf Englisch mit uns sprach.
We've had a very nice stay in this appartment. It's clean and quiet. It's a 2/3 minute walk to the nearest u-bahn and s-bahn from there it takes 10 minuten to het to the centre of berlin, so it's a great location to stay!

Lightning damages Jefferson City outdoor warning sirens
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Officials in the capital city say two outdoor warning sirens are inoperable following a September thunderstorm.
Capt. Doug Shoemaker said the Jefferson City Emergency Operations Center tested the sirens in the city and Cole County on Oct. 3 and discovered two failed to sound.
The sirens were inspected and had damage consistent with a lightning strike. Officials believe a thunderstorm on Sept. 8, three days after the monthly test, caused the damage.
The two sirens are both located in Jefferson City: One is on Militia Drive and the other is next to the new fire station on Highway 179.
It is not known how long the sirens will be out of service.

There's no doubt that Highlands University junior linebacker Jordan Campbell is undeniably the best at his position in the RMAC, let alone Division II football.
And there's no reason that he should be elected for the HARLON HILL TROPHY the end of this football season!
For this to happen, the respective college Sports Information Directors (SID's) select their choice and submit them to the region for nomination. In this case, its the WEST. Points are tallied up and submitted for final choice.
Cowboy linebacker Jordan Campbell, a junior from Corona, CA, has by far the most athleticism of ANY RMAC player. All he has to do is play his strong defensive game and punt those booming 60-plus yarders against two of the best RMAC teams in the nation; University of Nebraska-Kearney; and Colorado State-Pueblo.
Hopefully, the Harlon Hill Trophy will grace his name and bring back a sense of proudness to the Highlands University Football.
There's no doubt about it, NMHU football is considered to be more than an "OUTLAW SCHOOL" by RMAC brass...
And for this reason Jordan Campbell wasn't nominated for the Harlon Hill trophy. (Two quarterbacks from U of Neb/Kearney and Colorado Pueblo got the nod)...Campbell, as you may recall, kicked a 89-yarder in the last game of the year. If RMAC didn't notice that, what a shame!
Chances are that Campbell will enter the 2012 NFL draft, and be a mid-draft selection. He would fit nicely into the Oakland Raiders scheme of things...
Meanwhile, the two QB's selected for the HH Trophy will never be NFL draft material; just very good Div. II QB's...

- Variable-Refrigerant-Flow Zoning Remedy for Long-Dormant Sick Building
- VRF Zoning Flexibility Paramount
- Earning LEED Silver Certification and a Six-Figure Utility Rebate
The design team selected a variable-refrigerant-flow (VRF) zoning system from Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating.
"For over a decade, Towson had to endure the presence of this 15-story 'sick building' in the heart of its commercial district," Arsh S. Mirmiran of Caves Valley Partners said of Towson City Center. Today, the office tower is "a showcase for sustainability and modernization."
In 1967, a 15-story building—13 floors of office space and two floors of garage—was constructed in downtown Towson, Md. Initially, a number of prominent investment firms called the building home. Later, it housed an assortment of state and county offices until being closed and declared a sick building because of alleged ventilation issues in 2002.
For 10 years, the building stood vacant. Then, in 2012, Caves Valley Partners (CVP), a Towson-based real-estate-development firm, acquired the building and began planning an extreme makeover. The renovation included an all-new glass-curtain-wall façade and the replacement of the mechanical and electrical systems. Today, the 170,000-sq-ft tower is fully leased and home to the Towson University Institute for Well-Being and MileOne Automotive.
The general contractor for the project was Chesapeake Contracting Group of Reisterstown, Md., the architect Brasher Design of Columbia, Md., and the HVAC engineer Mechanical Engineering and Construction Corp. (MEC2) of Catonsville, Md.
"Towson City Center was the most challenging renovation project in my 30-year career," Brasher Design President D. Ronald Brasher, AIA, said. "Nothing was as it should have been or as one would expect it to be, and nothing was square, as disclosed when the glazing contractor called as he was installing the 12-story curtain-wall system and informed us that the building was out of plumb horizontally and vertically, with as much as 2 in. in some areas."
Steve Wagner, director of engineering, and Richard E. Beattie, principal, of MEC2 said the scope of work included gutting the entire tower, with only the structural steel, slabs, and elevator core kept. When selecting a new HVAC system, Wagner said, one of the design team's many challenges was low deck height. Instead of the typical 14 ft, the space between floors measured only 10 ft 6 in., which meant less than 9 ft of clearance. A HVAC solution requiring significant ductwork was out of the question.
Low deck height was not the only consideration.
"From Day One, we all worked with our sights set on achieving LEED certification," Wagner said. "This meant selecting the best HVAC system for the tower that would deal with the difficult low decks and also help us succeed in meeting the critical environment and indoor-air-quality standards demanded by the U.S. Green Building Council."
Ultimately, the team selected a variable-refrigerant-flow (VRF) zoning system from Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating.

Back in 2005, Jim Fischer shared some information (thanks Jim) regarding some studies done using BT in hot climates: http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...089#post120089
It's been eight years since that information was posted. What is the consensus about using BT in hot climates now? Has anybody in the deep south or hot midwest experienced good multi-year results from a single application of BT?

I would like to hear how everyone did with checkboarding this year, what their results were, (swarming, hive strength, etc.) and how it's tied into their decisions this fall on how many boxes to overwinter each of their hives in.
I would like to hear how everyone did with checkboarding this year, what their results were, (swarming, hive strength, etc.) and how it's tied into their decisions this fall on how many boxes to overwinter each of their hives in.
"burr comb happens..."
Not sure if what I did can truly be called checkerboarding but it is similar. Since late spring whenever I went into a hive that appeared to be crowded I removed 2 or 3 frames of capped honey from positions 1/2 and 9/10, spread out the center brood frames, and then put frames of foundation between them giving the bees something to do as well as giving the queen more room.
My swarming dropped noticably and I also managed to collect over 6 deeps of capped honey that I am now trying to place back into any hives that appear to be light on stores.
On another note, hives that were heavy and jammed full of bees mid/late Sept. are now still full of bees but a whole lot lighter!
I was caught off gaurd by this, I saw lots of foraging going on after mid/late Sept. but apparently they were also going into the reserves as well. I will drop a third deep of capped honey on any that need it and put fondant patties on any that are questionable.
If this is "checkerboarding", I would say it worked, particularily in regards to reduction of swarming.
I've been utilizing checkerboarding (nectar management) for several years now and find it to greatly reduce swarming. I had no swarms this year. I checkerboard a bit differently since I've gone to foundationless frames, so sometimes rather than checkerboarding with drawn comb, I will give them foundationless and it's been working just fine.
Perry Bee, you've stated what I fear. . .lots of bees with lots of honey on my last inspection, but I'm afraid they're already going through it. I'll be checking once again before the first frost and feeding if needs be.
As to number of boxes I overwinter in, it depends on the size of the box. Unfortunately, I have all three sizes of 10-frame boxes, so it can be a deep, a medium and a shallow, or 3 mediums, or 4 shallows--they're all about the same height but vary in number of boxes, depending on their size. I like to see them go into winter with a broodnest the size of a deep, with honey and nectar surrounding, plus a box of honey on top.

CAM Acquisition Fellowship Program
In 2010, the Department created an Acquisition Fellowship Program, with the goal to hire applicants with diverse personal and professional background experiences. This three-year development program is designed to help cultivate a pipeline of talent. Individuals hired and invited to participate in the program must demonstrate a willingness to take on challenges, demonstrate an eagerness to tackle complex problems, exhibit an enthusiasm for learning, and show a commitment to developing strong interpersonal, communication, leadership, and team building skills.
The primary mission of the program is to prepare highly skilled entry-level contract specialists for leadership positions within one of the Department's primary acquisitions office: Contracts and Acquisitions Management (commonly known as CAM). In order to achieve this goal, the Department has created a detailed three year structure that focuses on hands-on training, project/committee/workgroup participation, and leadership opportunities. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in many facets of the acquisition life cycle. Participants spend 18-24 months working with two of three primary contracting groups within CAM. Next, participants spend six months working with one of the many program offices to support the Department's educational mission. As an example, participants may support various grant programs or participate in legislative outreach initiatives or support data studies within the Department's research branch. In the final year, the fellow is positioned as member of a contracting team in CAM. While they have their own workload awarding and administering contracts for the Department, they develop additional leadership skills by managing the Fellows program. Graduated fellows continue mentoring and developing new CAM fellows.Top

Geoffrey Burleson, Professor of Music and Director of Piano Studies at Hunter College, has performed to wide acclaim throughout Europe and North America, and is equally active as a recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician and jazz performer. The New York Times has hailed his solo performances as "vibrant" and "compelling", and has praised his "command, projection of rhapsodic qualities without loss of rhythmic vigor, and appropriate sense of spontaneity and fetching colors". And the Boston Globe refers to Prof. Burleson as a "remarkable pianist" and "a first-class instrumental presence" whose performances are "outright thrilling." His numerous acclaimed solo appearances include prominent venues in Paris (at the Église St-Merri), New York, Rome (American Academy), Athens (Mitropoulos Hall), Mexico City (National Museum of Art), Rotterdam (De Doelen), Chicago (Dame Myra Hess Memorial Series), Boston, Washington, Switzerland, England, Spain, and elsewhere.

Of all the current video game movies kind of/sort of in development in Hollywood, few have seemed less likely to actually get off the ground than the often spoken of World of Warcraft movie. After Spider-Man and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi had initially been tagged as the film's director, the project more or less went into hibernation, until production company Legendary Pictures grabbed Charles Leavitt's screenplay back and began searching for a new director. Now, apparently, it has found one.
Duncan Jones, the 41-year-old director of recent sci-fi highlights Moon and Source Code, has signed on to oversee the project, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This will be a considerable step up in terms of budget for Jones, who is expected to have in the range of $100 million to make the movie.
Legendary has kept Leavitt's script extremely close to the vest, so it's tough to assume much of anything about the project at this point. Still, Jones' involvement is at least an encouraging thing, given his active and outspoken interest in video games.
Legendary is currently planning on beginning shooting this year, with a 2015 release date. We'll see if that sticks. Or if this even happens at all. Because video game movies, you know?

Reviews for Homemade Candy Bars
"A family favorite at holidays and for weddings and special occasions from way back! So easy to make."
"I have been making these bars for many years. Every time I have taken them to a get together someone asks for the recipe. I have never put in the butterscotch chips when I make it so I double the chocolate chips. Last time I made them I didn't have graham crackers or peanut butter to use. I just used Waverly crackers in place of the graham crackers. I sprinkled ground peanuts over the chocolate in place of the peanut butter. Good both ways!"
"Everyone always asks for this recipe! I make it just as it says."
"Delicious and rich! I have received many requests over the years to make these bars."
"My son Gabe, who is 9, won a blue ribbon at our fair with these tasty treats. Thanks for sharing such a fun recipe!"
"Ihave made these bars for years! everyone loves them!"

Dream Runners: higher ed, athletics go to kids
By Greg Ruder
Student Assistant, Department of Intercollegiate Athletics
(May 5, 2009)--The UTSA Dream Runners program visited Villareal Elementary School April 27 for a TAKS test pep rally. Seniors Travis Gabbidon (basketball) and Gaston Griffin (track and field), Mascot Rowdy and UTSA cheerleaders were on hand to energize the pep rally and share their thoughts on academic preparation for college.

"Growing up in this city, I didn't get a chance to see the UTSA athletes come out and talk to my school," said Griffin, a graduate of San Antonio's Clark High School. "I really enjoy this opportunity to give back to the community I grew up in. Every chance I get, I want to come. It makes their dream of being a college athlete more attainable when they see a guy who grew up in San Antonio who went on to become an athlete at UTSA."
"You'd be amazed at how much love these kids show you just for coming out," he added. "They don't know I run track. They don't know what event I run or how fast I am. Just the fact that I came out here to share some of my experiences with them... they like that."
The hour-long program started with faculty and staff cheering on the children in preparation for their TAKS tests. Chants of "Start strong, stay strong, finish strong," the school's motto, echoed throughout the gymnasium. To raise the level of intensity, their school mascot, Jag the Jaguar, came out to award their spirit stick to the loudest class.
The last half of the pep rally was handed over to the Dream Runners program. Manuel Maldonado III, program manager, addressed the students first, reinforcing the hard work and preparation the students have put in all year and encouraging them to perform well on the upcoming test.
"As an educator and a coach, there is no greater satisfaction than watching these kids succeed after all of the dedication they have shown all year," Maldonado said. "I am a first-generation college graduate, and a lot of these kids will be the first in their families to go on and get a higher education. For me to be able to give back to these children and stress the importance of getting that degree, well, let's just say I love my job."
Dream Runners was started as a pilot in 2005 with just two schools. Villareal Elementary came aboard in 2006, and the program has since expanded to nearly 30 schools in six San Antonio school districts.
"We're extremely appreciative of Mr. Maldonado and the Dream Runners program," Villareal Elementary School principal Brenda Gallardo said. "He has given our students so many opportunities through this program. It has been a great experience for the children."
Villareal is one of the most active schools in the program. As part of the program, they have placed "Dream Boards" in the classrooms where the students can write down their dreams, their favorite schools and anything else related to college. The teachers engage the students about their dreams and about going to college.
"It's important for us to create that vision for the children and show them that it is attainable," Gallardo said. "A lot of times there are other factors that affect their ability to go to college. We control what they do here at school and this is something that we can offer to our students."
The UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics created the Dream Runners program. The program targets students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in grades 5-8 and focuses on the academic achievement and attendance of students through the engagement of extracurricular activities at the UTSA campuses.
The program offers "College Student for a Day," where the children are brought to campus and attend mock classes taught by volunteer students from several UTSA academic departments. The children take notes and have quizzes at the end of class. Children also are invited to attend athletics events such as volleyball matches, men's and women's basketball games, and baseball and softball games. The goal is to introduce the children to some of the many different aspects of college life. The program has been an overwhelming success to date, reaching out to more than 5,000 area youth.
"I have friends from other universities inside and outside of Texas calling me wanting to expand our program through their institutions," said Maldonado. "We have several ideas about ways we can enhance this experience for the children and also ideas on how we can expand to reach more students outside the city of San Antonio."
"This is such a rewarding experience for me," Maldonado added. "The other day I took my daughter to Peter Piper Pizza for a birthday party. We were there awhile, and I noticed this little guy following me around. I finally stopped and asked him if I could help him with something and he said, 'You're Mr. M from UTSA! I was in the Dream Runners in the 5th grade, but my middle school isn't in the program. I used to get bad grades before I was in the program, but now I get As and Bs because I want to go to UTSA and be a Roadrunner like you.' How can you beat that?"

Idaho Falls man invents "Smart PJ's"
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Whether it's a comfy pair of pajamas or a good book, it seems like parents are always looking for ways to make bedtime fun for younger kids.
An Idaho Falls man found a way to combine both of those tactics and created what he's named "Smart PJ's."
Smart PJ's are the first and only interactive pajamas for young kids. It's essentially a onesie that uses a smart phone application to give parents and children a new way to have fun before bed.
"It's a new spin on pajamas," said Juan Murdoch, inventor. "Pajamas have been around for thousands of years and this is something new."
Juan Murdoch isn't a full-time inventor, he's a local realtor. So when the idea of a pajama that entices kids to hear a bedtime story or a lullaby popped in his head, he said he just ran with it.
"I don't know if it was the dad in me," said Murdoch. "My wife and I have 6 kids, so I know how important a bedtime story is."
The dots on the pajamas aren't just for design. They're actually QR codes that phones can scan through the free Smart PJ's app.
Altogether, each pair of pajamas has close to 50 different codes that will work on all Apple and Android products.
"So what you do is you take a picture of one of the dot groups," said Murdoch. "Make sure you only get one and hit save."
Then your smart phone or tablet reads the book, sings the lullaby, or gives you interesting facts about different animals -- depending on the code.
"It makes me proud. I'm a local. I was raised here and have lived here all of my life," said Murdoch. "It's cool to bring that technology out there and it's something unique to Idaho."
Murdoch said he's been selling these Smart PJ's for about three months now and has managed to sell about 100 pairs each month.
He said they're 100 percent cotton and the codes won't fade when you wash them.

text: The Lizard wiki last edited by Doc-Holiday on 07/10/15 07:38AM View full history Current EventsCurt Connors is currently stuck in his reptilian form and is unable to change back from The Lizard. The Lizard is set to return to the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man in the "No Turning Back" story arc where Morbius the Living Vampire attempts to cure him and restore Curt Connors. In the end, curt Connors becomes stuck in the lizards body, which represents his personal hell and a punishment for all his crimes.Connors is the only one aware that his human mind has resurfaced within his body and he chooses to remain imprisoned as a beast rather than potentially giving into the Lizard again somewhere outside of the prison's walls (on the Raft). He believes that this is his penance for his previous crimes (which include killing his own son).OriginCurtis Connors was born in Coral Gables, Florida. He was a gifted surgeon who was enlisted in the U.S. Army and was sent off to war. He would perform emergency battlefield surgery for the injured G.I.'s, until an unexpected blast hit his arm and it had to be amputated. Connors went back to a civilians life and became a research scientist. Due to his missing limb and the ability of lizards to regrow lost appendages, Connors became obsessed in reptilian limb regrowth and studied reptilian biology extensively. After years of working from home with the aid of war buddy Ted Sallis, Connors ultimately developed a growth serum taken from reptilian DNA. Despite his wife's warnings, he tried it on a rabbit and saw that it was a success He then tried it on himself. After he ingested the formula, his arm indeed grew back, but there was an unexpected side effect. The serum turned him into a vicious, reptilian humanoid monster. Soon after this Peter Parker and J. Jonah Jameson where in Florida following stories about a giant man-lizard attacking people in the Everglades. When Spider-Man discovered the truth behind the situatition, he was able to use Conners' notes to help find an antidote to cure him and restore him back to human form.Another later attempt to develop the Lizard serum for safe use again resulted in Connors transforming into the Lizard, but on this occasion he was saved thanks to his former colleague Professor Charles Xavier and his first team of X-Men, Beast and Angel tracking the Lizard down in the swamps so that Iceman could send him into hibernation long enough to develop a cure.CreationThe Lizard was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (Nov. 1963) in the story "Face-To-Face With The Lizard".Character EvolutionThe success of Connors' apparent cure from the Lizard persona was short-lived. A pattern occurred, with stress turning Connors into the Lizard, Spider-Man fighting him, and then forming some kind of temporary cure to reverse the transformation until the next time. A second personality soon formed with the Lizard, one who retained intelligence but was no longer Connors. He envisioned a world where all humans were transformed into super-reptiles like himself and he was their supreme leader and creator. Despite the Lizard's overall hatred of humans, he was often shown to be unwilling to harm his wife Martha or their young son Billy.Soon after his first encounter with Spider-Man, Curt Connors and his family relocated to New York City and Connors eagerly assisted Spider-Man on several occasions. He helped saved May Parker, Peter Parker's beloved aunt, when she developed complications from a blood transfusion that Peter had given her by developing a formula that saved her. Connors became a close friend to Peter Parker who for a time worked as his teaching assistant. Connors was unaware that Peter was also Spider-Man.Major Story ArcsHelping Spider-ManSpider-Man approached Connors for aid against the Rhino and the scientist developed a formula that dissolved Rhino's armored costume. However Connors was accidentally exposed to several chemicals that caused him to change into the Lizard once more. Spider-Man was narrowly able to defeat the Lizard and force fed him his counter-serum to change Connors back to normal.Connors was later kidnapped by the Maggia crime boss Silvermane for his chemical expertise. The elderly Silvermane was obsessed with a youth formula enscribed on an ancient clay tablet and wanted Connors to recreate it. However, the extreme stress of his kidnapping ultimately caused Connors to transform into the Lizard once more, greatly complicating Spider-Man's rescue attempt.During another encounter with Spider-Man after Peter's attempts to remove his powers resulted in him growing four extra arms, a bite from Morbius endowed the Lizard with Connors' personality via the infection of a strange enzyme. Connors then synthesized an antidote for himself and Spider-Man using the Morbius enzyme. Curt Connors later aided Spider-Man, Ka-Zar and the Black Panther against Stegron. After the apparent death of the Jackal, Dr. Connors determined that Spider-Man was not a clone. Later, the Lizard battled with Stegron and Spider-Man after Stegron kidnapped Billy Connors. For a time, Peter Parker worked as a teaching assistant to Dr. Connors at Empire State University, although Connors had no idea that Peter was actually Spider-Man.Secret Wars and Family TroubleIn the Secret Wars, the all-powerful Beyonder teleported many of Earth-616's greatest heroes and villains to an uninhabited planet to wage war. Lizard was one of the villains there, along with other villains like Doctor Doom and perennial Spider-Man foe Dr. Octopus. The Lizard has a comparatively small role in the Secret Wars as he was driven away from the villains team early on in the adventure. He fled into the swampland after injuring Molecule Man. While in the swamp he met and befriended the Wasp who cared for his wounded arm. He returned to Earth along with the other villains when Molecule Man transported Seattle home.When he returned, Martha Connors took Billy and left Connors. Although Curt was a loving husband, she couldn't handle the occasional problem of having a homicidal supervillain as a husband. Curt was stricken with grief, and his actions because of this would almost lead to his death.Fight the Lizard (and Calypso)In all stages of despair, Connors made a last-ditch attempt to control his life and the Lizard. He expended tremendous mental energy and gained weak control over the vicious alter-ego. But unfortunately for the poor man, the evil sorceress Calypso used her voodoo magic to revert him to Lizard and break him into a twisted, savage, vicious state where he was a mindless animal. Spider-Man fought him and Calypso many times in a series of rough, bloody battles before managing to defeat them both. Connors cured himself and submitted to the supervillain prison- The Vault. Calypso tried to control Lizard again before the villain murdered her, escaped from the Vault, and resurfaced. In a battle with Spider-Man and the bounty hunter Warrant, Lizard fell into a quicksand pit and seemed to have died.Lizard-Clone and Martha's DeathAfter the original Lizard's apparent death, a huge, mindless animal Lizard appeared and started rampaging around destroying things, causing the thought the transformation was permanent. However, Dr. Connors had survived the quicksand, and when the savage Lizard met him, he reverted to the original Lizard and saved his family, killing the clone. The clone was actually developed when a formula was tested on a piece of the original Lizard's tail, which grew into a full Lizard creature. Lizard had more "adventures", mainly trying to contaminate the world's water supply to turn everyone into zombies. His plot failed, and tragedy struck. Both Martha and Billy were diagnosed with cancer. The reason was deduced by Spider-Man, Martha Connors and Billy Connors had been exposed to carcinogens living next to a facility of the Monnaco Corporation. Making matters worse, Curt's arm degenerated. Spider-Man helped Dr. Connors to expose the corrupt corporation, but it was too late. Martha passed away from the disease, and Billy barely survived and grew a vengeance for his father. Billy went to his aunt's care, and the stress drove Dr. Connors mentally unstable.Dark TimesCurt revealed a horrible truth to Spider-Man afterwards, about his past. Dr. Connors had gone to New York in hopes of getting a research grant. When the grant went to another scientist, Connors detonated the lab, severely injuring the other man. Lizard was seen leaving the building, but he convinced Peter of his innocence. However, he asked Spider-Man to lock him in the sewers for others' safety. As this happened, the Daily Bugle exposed that the Lizard was the result of transformation. When Spider-Man went down to talk, the Lizard broke free. Lizard admitted to Spider-Man that he had lied. Connors had been controlling the Lizard for a long time, using the transformation to achieve his wicked ends. He smashed up Spider-Man, confronted Billy and horrified him, and finally reverted to Connors. He was broken inside by his deeds, and allowed himself to be arrested so he wouldn't hurt others. Recently, Green Goblin broke the Lizard out of prison, enhanced his powers, and asked the creature to join his Sinister Twelve, orchestrated to take down Spider-Man. The team quickly failed, and the Fantastic Four and assorted Avengers helped to take the short-lived team down.Lizard, Jr.Even more recently, Billy Connors helped attack Spider-Man in a new guise-a pint-sized version of his father! The Lizard had injected his son with the Lizard formula, and Billy/Lizard Jr. helped nearly kill the wall-crawler. Eventually, the Webslinger captured them both. Lizard Jr. was tragically shot and killed, but Lizard escaped into the relative safety of the sewers and remained at large before joining a new Sinister Six. It was taken down by Captain America's Secret Avengers, and Lizard is in prison-for now.After the Civil War, Dr. Connors helped Spider-Man to formulate a cure for the victims of Mr. Hyde, who were given Spider-like powers. He is also monitoring an Initiative trainee named Komodo, who stole his formula and now has developed powers just like him.GauntletCurt's life soon began to spiral out his control once again. After getting a new job at a company called Phelcorp he began to hear a voice (most likely the Lizard) telling him to behave violently. He finally cracked when his boss Brian King slept with his assistant whom Connors was attracted to. He felt himself turning into the Lizard again and tried to take a drug to halt the change, but Brian stopped him believing he was trying to turn into the Lizard on purpose. Emerging the Lizard devoured Brian. The Lizard later killed his own son, Billy Connors, with no sign of Dr. Curt Connors being present in the Lizard.After killing his own son, Spider-Man finds Billy's body and follows his tracer to the Lizard. He finds his remains as well and believes Curt to be dead. Suddenly the newly shed Lizard burst out and reveals his new ability to speak. He also explains how the lizard brain has now taken over totally and how he always felt like he was Spider-Man's prey and now it is the other way around. They begin to fight when Spider-Man begins to feel his primal instinct take over. He runs away and the Lizard takes off while a small bit of the Lizard's mammal brain tells him he's naked. Spider-Man goes to Connors' lab assistant and takes whatever's left of his antidote and a picture of Billy. Everyone in the city falls under the Lizard's control and goes crazy fighting each other over territory and possession. Spider-Man takes a vial of antidote and takes on the Lizard again. Lizard mocks him for taking the poison and chaining his inner reptile when Spider-Man spits the antidote into the Lizard's waiting jaws. Then he stabs him with every last vial of antidote and shoves a picture of Billy in his face. The Lizard becomes confused and Spider-Man is overcome by the crowd. The Lizard comes back and pulls Spider-Man from the swarm of people and takes him to a rooftop nearby. There he tries to rationalize the killing of the mammal brain's son with Spider-Man, and how he know feels something horrible about the picture he sees in his mind. Spider-Man explains this is shame and part of being a mammal and having human emotions. The Lizard takes off into the sewers and releases his control on the city. However he does keep a few under his control.Origin of the SpeciesThe Lizard is revealed as being the one who attacked Chameleon and stole Menace's baby.No Turning BackWhen Spider-man that Morbius developed a cure for the Lizard, Spider-Man confronts the monster in the sewers and fights him for a very long time, finely Morbius and Spidey stab the Lizard with enough hypodermic harpoons for Max Modell to cure Connors. Connors is seemed to be cured but in reality the Lizard is still in control, even in Connor's body.Morbius and Spider-Man take the Lizard (believing that Curt is in control) to Horizon Labs. Planning to be back in his lizard from again, Lizard pretends to grieve to loss of Billy telling everybody he needs time alone. To save himself more time Lizard puts some blood samples into the the air ducts bringing the scent all around the lab. This makes Morbius bite Sajani, thus leading to Spider-Man chasing Morbius into the city. Lizard tells Max Modell they can cure Morbius and Max joins Lizard in the lab to help him. He was able to restores Connor's lost arm and then he begins with attacking Max. He uses Modell as a test subject for his experiments on becoming the Lizard inside and out again. Connors infects everyone with his lizard formula and with much difficulty, he finally creates the formula which turned him into his final Lizard form. He and Spider-Man engaged in battle, during which Spider-Man stabs Connors with a harpoon dosed with the cure, but unfortunately it does not work. Lizard is taken to a prison where it is revealed that Lizard's conscience died, and Connors was trapped in the Lizard's body, he was punishing him self for the terrible things he has done.Powers and AbilitiesDoctor Curtis Connors gave himself superhuman powers as a result of exposure to mutagenic chemicals, allowing him to transform into the Lizard. In human form, he has none of his superhuman powers, but he is highly intelligent and a well known scientist in fields of genetics, physics, biochemistry, and herpetology.When Connors is transformed into the Lizard, his strength is increased to superhuman levels. Likewise, his speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes are also raised to a level equivalent to that of Spider-Man. He can also scale walls using a combination of his sharp claws and micro-scales on his hands and feet that create molecular friction like those of a gecko lizard. He is highly resistant to injury due to his thick, scaly hide, allowing him to resist punctures and lacerations from ordinary weapons and small caliber firearms. In addition, the Lizard has highly enhanced healing abilities which allow him to quickly recover from grievous wounds, including regenerating lost limbs. He also has a powerful tail which he can whip at high speeds. The Lizard has razor-sharp teeth set in muscular jaws that can deal a lethal bite. Like a reptile, he has cold-blooded characteristics and is therefore sensitive to drops in temperature; a sufficiently cold environment will cause his metabolism to slow drastically and become dormant if he is exposed to cold temperatures for too long.The Lizard can mentally communicate and command all reptiles within a mile of himself via limited telepathy. He has also on at least one occasion secreted powerful pheromones which caused nearby humans to behave violently. Post-Brand New Day, a further enhancement of his telepathy granted him the power of telepathically compelling humans to act out their primal urges, by suppressing emotional control in their amygdala ("the lizard brain").Based on various physiological and environmental factors, the Lizard's intelligence can range from bestial and animalistic to normal human intelligence. The Lizard personality has most often manifested with human intelligence, capable of speech and higher reasoning, although some versions have been more feral than others. During the Secret Wars in particular, he appeared less ruthless than his normal portrayal, showing concern for Volcana and the Wasp after they showed him kindness despite his usual disdain for humans. However, even when operating at the level of a human, the Lizard is rarely as intelligent as Dr. Connors, showing on many occasions an inability to understand his human-self's work and use it to further his own ends despite his best efforts.The Lizard has apparently "destroyed" the Curt Connors persona, but has subsequently begun to display some of Connors's human emotions. In contrast to his previously feral nature, he has also shown sufficient intellectual capabilities to understand Connors' work and use it for himself, although he is still hampered by his inability to fully comprehend human emotions.During Dan Slotts No Turning Back, Curt Connors (with the Lizard's brain) injected himself with a serum that transformed and evolved him into his final form, the Lizard appeared to become stronger and faster. Spider-Man had trouble tagging and overpowering the Lizard, if not for the cure, Spider-Man may not have won the fight.WeaknessesWhen exposed to cold temperatures for a few minutes, the Lizard's agility and strength diminish. As Curt, high levels of stress can cause him to change, which is why he has a specific antidote.CharacteristicsHeight: 6'8" (as the Lizard); 5'11" (as Curt Connors)Weight: 510 lbs (as the Lizard); 175 lbs (as Curt Connors)Eyes: Red (as the Lizard); Blue (as Curt Connors)Hair: None (as the Lizard); Brown (as Curt Connors)Alternate RealitiesEarth-1610 - Ultimate universeUltimateIn the Ultimate universe, Dr. Curt Conners (last name is spelled differently) transforms into the Lizard. It is less intelligent than the 616 version, and has many of the same powers. Also, as Dr. Conners, he created the villain Carnage of the Ultimate universe using his and Spider-Man's DNA. He was arrested and lost funding from Stark Industries, but barely escaped and remains at large, trying to have his sick vision of the world come alive.Earth-20051 - Marvel Adventures universeIn the Marvel Adventures universe, Dr. Curt Connors works at Empire State University. He currently conducts research in secret to cure him of his Lizard alter ego. When he is stressed or under pressure the Lizard can exert influence to cloud his decisions. The Lizard obsessed with ridding the world of mammalian life and returning to an age of reptiles. When Connors transforms into the Lizard he becomes a cold-blooded creature, Spider-man exploited this to force the Lizard into a hibernation so an antidote could be given.Later on, the Lizard was then kidnapped by the Serpent Society as they tried to force Curt to stain the water supply with his Lizard formula, so that everyone in the city would turn into Lizards. But he prevented them from doing so by drinking the formula himself, which made him turn into a giant form of the Lizard. Spider-man eventually cured him by giving him a large amount of the antidote.Earth-2149In the Marvel Zombies universe Lizard has, as most of earth's heroes been transformed into a zombie.Earth-3752Here Curt Connors is the leader of the Science Squad.MC2Over the years, both Spider-man and the Lizard clashed and every time it was believed to be their last. Eventually, Connors had created a chemical that could purify the Everglades' water supply but in the process would hurt other reptiles. Eventually, the Lizard took back control but after a brief battle with Spider-man. The Lizard was convinced that no matter what they did, one family was going to be hurt no matter what. The Lizard gave Connors back control of his body and eventually he created a new chemical that not only safe guarded his family and purify the Everglades' water supply but put the Lizard completely out of Connors' mind since.Earth-311 - Marvel 1602Marvel 1602Curtis Connors is mutated into a dinosaur with limited intelligence by Dr. Octavius hands.Marvel Noir (Earth-90214)In Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face, part of Marvel Noir, the Lizard is only seen as Dr. Connors. When Peter Parker investigates Dr. Octavius' lab, where he performs unorthodox experiments on living creatures, Connors greets him and brings him to Octavius. It would seem as if Connors had only been an assistant doctor to the Octopus. Connors' right arm had also been missing, just as it is in the normal universe before he attempts to regrow it. Old Man Logan-verse AppearanceUnlike numerous other super villains who are used as an illusion against Wolverine to kill his compatriots, Lizard is not one of them, however, within Southern Florida is a small territory marked Lizard King. Numerous comics have shown The Lizard taking over the otherwise rational mind of Dr. Curt Connors and having him behave like a villain, it would be entirely possible that he established himself a territory which would also be highly populated with reptilian creatures; alligators, snakes, etc.Other MediaSpider-Man 3 video gameIn the Spider-Man 3 video game, Dr. Curt Connors is attempting to regrow his arm with an experimental serum. When he first injects himself nothing happens then suddenly he begins screaming and goes into a fit of rage and knocks the camera down. For a brief moment the screen goes black and then Peter walks in to see a Lizard standing in the room with a torn lab coat and torn pants on. Peter must follow him outside and into a sewer. Once down in the sewer he must quickly reach the top of the ladder before he drowns. He runs into an old enemy who is hunting the Lizard ... Kraven. After he battles Kraven he must move on further to find Kraven again. Only after he beats Kraven this time Kraven has the lizard turned into a monster. Since the new Lizard is to big for his normal attacks to work Peter must grab the Lizards tail and spin him around and throw him into one of four generators, he must then run over to him and web his hands and mouth in order to get a few hits in on him.Spider-Man Nintendo 64, Playstation video gameAfter chasing Venom, who had kidnapped Mary Jane, into the sewers, Spider-Man found Lizard who revealed that he had been beaten and imprisoned by Venom. Lizard's role in the game is minor though, he simply gives you directions to where you can find Venom.Spider-Man Electro Nintendo 64, Playstation video gameWhile looking for Dr. Curt Connors you are ambushed by him while he is the Lizard. You have to shoot the antidote Connors made into him to weaken him and beat the lizard unconscious. Then Connors reverts back to a human and tells you where the other scientist is.Spider-Man Friend or FoeIn this game he appears as playable character to play along with Spider-Man.Spider-Man Sega: The Animated SeriesThe Lizard appears in the very first episode of the Spider-Man "Night of the Lizard" and was voiced by Joseph Campanella. This version of the Lizard first transforms when Dr. Curtis Connors uses lizard DNA to try regrow his arm.Lizard appeared in numerous episodes, in one notable episode, which was part of the "Secret Wars" story arc, the Lizard was "cured" at least mentally, as the Lizard body was now under the control of the Dr. Connors. The negative side effect was that Connor's could no longer become human, and was struggling emotionally with this, and his new found role as a super-hero.Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (2009)Lizard is an exclusive boss for the PSP, PS2, NDS and Wii versions of the game. As with many villains in the game he soon appears to have been inducted into the Fold. He confronts and attacks the heroes at the portal that leads out of Prison 42, along with Scorcher, Electro and Grey Gargoyle.MoviesLizard in Amazing Spider-ManIn the Spider-Man movies, Dylan Baker plays Peter Parker's college professor Curt Connors. And during the third movie, he studied and examined the alien symbiote that eventually became Venom, (he still had a sample of this in his lab at the end of the movie). It was speculated he would have been the villain in Spider-Man 4, if it had not been passed up, in favor of rebooting the franchise.In The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) the Lizard is played by Rhys Ifans. he is the main antagonist of the movie. this might not be the last time we see Connors, since he apparently knew something about the death of spider-mans parents.TelevisionIn the Spectacular Spider-man animated series TV-show, like all the other versions of Curt, develops a formula to regenerate his lost arm. At first it was thought to be a success, until it was discovered that he was reverting to a Lizard like form. He eventually turned into the Lizard and rampaged throughout the city, battling Spider-man all the way to the Bronx Zoo, where Spider-Man managed to give him the antidote to turn him back to normal again.At the end of the season two, he was fired from his job as head scientist of ESU due to all the security issues, (with help from Miles Warren), and then Curt and his family moved back to Florida to continue their research there.The Lizard in Spider-Man The Animated SeriesDr. Connors will appear in Ultimate Spider-Man as a SHIELD scientist.In Spider-Men The Animated Series, the Lizard appears in a number of episodes throughout the show's five season run. His story in the series follows the comics closely. Curt Connors is a lecturer at ESU specializing in genetic studies. He invents the neogenic recombinator that turns him into, and back from, The Lizard. The machine is also used to turn Mac Gargan into Scorpion. Curt Connors is a friend and confidant of Spider-Man who rescues him from Tombstone and Silvermane.Spider-Man (1980's)In the 80's cartoon, the Lizard himself was only shown in the cartoon without his ego, Dr. Connors, in which he tries to take over New York under the control of dangerous reptiles from the zoo. (made of lizards, snakes, & crocodilians). He was voiced by Corey Burton.The Amazing Spider-Manlizard appears as both an ally and the main antagonist in the game. doctor conners is trying to develop a cure for the outbreak that has taken place, but in the end is forced to inject himself with the lizard formula again, because during the game spider-man temporarily loses his powers..


text: May 31, 2012 - I think the ingredients need to be updated because the bottle I picked up a couple weeks ago lists Keratin Amino Acids as the final ingredient. That's why I thought that despite my protein sensitivity I would be safe with this gel. My hair loves this stuff! It is a lot more defined, soft, shiny and bouncy. I do have to scrunch out the crunch once it drys but after that my hair is super soft. I combine it with Herbal Essences Set Me Up gel for added control. With this combo I do have to reapply for a few days. I will definitely repurchase.

Former Law Clerk – Complex Litigation
"Although law school prepares you for many of the theoretical aspects one will face as an attorney, working at the attorney general's office has given me the hands on skills that I will need in the near future. I have had the opportunity to put some of the skills that I have learned in the classroom to the test; from writing memos, and conducting discovery, to legal research."
Valparaiso University School of Law, Valparaiso, IN
Present Deputy Attorney General and former Law Clerk – Revenue Division
"I have improved my techniques for writing legal memos/responses when asked to research an issue. Aside from research, I was able to craft settlement letters, help prep for depositions, and was given entire case files to develop my own legal theories and approaches for future cases. If asked, I would tell my friends in law school that there is probably not a summer legal job where you will learn as much, or have as many responsibilities, as working here."

Former Law Clerk – Advisory Division
"There have been numerous opportunities to enhance my writing skills. The memos and opinions that I have written were challenging and increased my knowledge of statutory interpretation. Also, the government speaking engagements gave me a chance to see how working in the public sector might fit into my personal plans and the various opportunities that could follow."

"I would tell my classmates that working at the attorney general's office is an excellent opportunity not only to enhance their present legal research and writing skills but to learn practical legal skills in a friendly environment. The office provides a unique opportunity not only to practice skills which one has learned in law school but to have a real-world legal experience before entering the "real" legal world. I would love the opportunity to return to the AG's office after graduation and feel that anyone who has the opportunity to intern here should do so."

to have the hives facing the east so that the first sun lights hits the entrance thus causing the bees to start their foraging day earlier or to have the hive slope towards the entrance? One of my bee yards has a small slope to it and if i don't elevate the downward side of the hive stand, the hives slope away from the entrance. I can turn the hives around or raise the back of the hive stands. But since most nectar flows don't start much before 9:00AM, how much difference does it really make?
This is one of those "problems" that is easier to think about rather than solve. Not that either turning the hives or jacking up the back of the hive stands would take long.
How much effort do commercial beeks using pallets make to ensure that the pallet is level?

We interviewed Bandi Mbubi founder of Congo Calling, the fair trade technology organization sparked by a TEDx talk with big ambitions and an unusual perspective on how to achieve them.
Although it's not obvious when you are checking-out, online or at retail, the products we choose create an invisible relationship with the people who made them. Over the past years, fueled largely by our kids, my family has been thinking about where our coffee, food and clothes come from — not that we've found any magic answers yet.
Technology is trickier though. Not only is it harder to trace the source of many consumer electronics but we still don't have the fair-trade mark to signify more ethical products. If I'm honest I put the problem to the back of my mind and press on with enjoying the latest gadget.
Then, earlier this year I spoke at a TEDx event. Speaking before me on the day was Bandi Mbubi, who gave a talk that not only moved everyone in the auditorium but also started a chain reaction online. His topic was Demand a fair trade cell phone and addressed what he described as "the sad story of the Congo" rich in minerals required for modern technology but not benefiting from this windfall. It's been watched 360,000 times.

Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 480 min.
Step 1
Stir together rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
Step 2
For each of six 3/4-cup-capacity ramekins or custard cups, cut a circle of bread the same diameter as the bottom of the ramekin. Place a bread circle in the bottom of each ramekin. Cut 9 slices of the bread in half lengthwise and fit the strips horizontally around the inside of each ramekin, using 2 1/2 or 3 strips for each one and trimming to fit. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the rhubarb mixture into each of the lined ramekins, filling them to the top. Cut circles from the remaining bread slices to fit the tops of the ramekins; place over the fruit. Wrap each pudding in plastic and set three of them on a plate. Stack the other three puddings on top of them. Set something small, round and heavy on top of each pudding stack to weigh it down. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 3
To serve, remove weights and unwrap the ramekins. Run a small knife around the inside edge of each one and invert onto dessert plates. Garnish with red currants, strawberries or mint.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Sabrina is a very nice person to talk with.
Had a cool conversation with her!
The appartment was nice and clean and very central and has the charme of the old city of Barcelona.
Would like to stay there again, when i visit Barcelona the next time.
The only thing, that is missing, is air conditioning, but you can sleep without, if you open the windows.
The apartment is situated in walking distance (ca 8min) to the Vatican,
It's spacious with 2 big bedrooms and one very small one with a kind of sofa bed-
Towels are there, bedsheets were fresh- a bottle of red wine and croissants for the morning welcomed us- the person called Mrs Anna was very helpful and welcomed us with cheer...
The elevator takes you the last floor and the flat is bright-
The only thing to recommend to the house keeper is a better cleaning- we did a lot while we were there, as buying washing liquid and sponges- cleaning the coffe mashine and i tried to remove the lime in the water boiler..
But besides that it's perfect
Thank you for making our stay so nice
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It is a nice little apartment with good central location .
The communication with the owner Sabrina worked fine.
Nice apartment and nice host. Very patient even though we where almost an hour delayed for our arrival.

Sabrina was af great host. She gave us some details about rome and was Nice and sweet
We had a very nice stay in Rome. The apartment is located near the vatican. So it was a good starting point for all our activities.
Sabrina helped us to find a taxi from and to the airport which made it very easy to find the apartment. And she answered all our questions which we had before travelling there as far as it was the first time for us to book with Wimdu.
I can really recommend her as a host.
Very nice expirience. Very nice apartment in a perfect place. Sabrina was the perfect host.
I strongly recomend it.

The GR was done and it was getting colder so on my last trip I took everything they had put in the honey super off including some uncapped honey , thought I read you could get away some uncapped honey . Well after bottling the last batch I could tell right away it was pretty thin , its ok for are own use for baking and tea etc. but how long will it last before fermenting , is there anyway to reduce the moisture without hurting the honey with excessive heat .Also what could I do different next year to prevent this .

Craven County mobile home fire deemed suspicious
CRAVEN COUNTY - A mobile home fire, about 1,000 feet behind West Craven Middle School, has been ruled as suspicious.
According to Craven County dispatchers, they got the call at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday about the blaze at the intersection of Pate Road and Dean Drive, between New Bern and Vanceboro.
No one was inside the home at the time of the blaze and no injuries were reported, said Ira Whitford, the assistant director of Craven County Emergency Services. But the fire reignited at about 5 a.m. It has since been put out.
Whitford said he believed someone set the fire, but did not know whether it was intentional. The building had been abandoned for several years.
"Fear really hit me... that was too close for comfort," said Debbie Thompson, who lives near the scene and watched the flames.

Changes expected in Bristol, Va. schools
BRISTOL, Va. - Aging, obsolete, and not handicapped-accessible: these all are problems that Bristol, Va. Elementary schools are facing.
Bristol, Va. school leaders met Monday night to discuss the future of some of the school buildings.
Highland View Elementary School was built in 1938 and Stonewall Jackson Elementary in 1948. Both have maintenance issues, which has led to talks of a new school.
Now renovating the old or building new is the question in Bristol.
Of the four elementary schools in the area the newest one is almost forty years old, and with aging buildings comes many maintenance issues. School Superintendent Dr. Mark Lineburg says, "It is time to begin the discussion about the future of our elementary schools and this is just the beginning."
According to a 2011 facility study Highland View Elementary is functionally obsolete, Stonewall Jackson Elementary is significantly aging, and Washington-Lee Elementary is at already capacity. It is also not handicapped-accessible.
The Bristol, Va. School Board has started discussing possible solutions, but it isn't just about closing a school. There are capacity issues which could lead to a domino effect among all its elementary schools.
Whatever plan the school board chooses whether it is redistricting, closing a school, building a new school, or grade level reconfiguration, the impact will be felt in many ways. President of Bristol, Va. Public School Education Foundation Board Catherine Brillhart says, "I believe the cost of doing nothing will be more significant as far as costs down the road."
There are six different variations of combining, splitting and closing schools on the table. The next step is weighing out all options and hearing from the public to try and find the best possible scenario.
School leaders are hopeful to have a plan by the end of the school year.
