I continually receive comments from those who believe "our Founding Fathers" opposed a strong federal government and were against unduly taxing the people of America. This mythology is the basis of people like Ron Paul who argue for extending rights to states and ending excessive federal taxation. The "free enterprise" heritage of "our Founding Fathers" is part of the myths in American history that right wing gun lovers so enjoy spouting. Well, as we celebrate the nation's birthday, let's look at the record.
If people like Ron Paul are correct that "our Founding Fathers" believed in states rights and ending federal taxation, they certainly were confused in their actions. They initially created the Articles of Confederation which was the dream government of the Ron Paulites since it gave enormous powers to states, lacked a central executive, and made the federal government unable to meet fiscal and military responsibilities. For some strange reason, the "Founding Fathers" ended the Articles of Confederation within five years of creating this states rights form of government. Everyone including Franklin, Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Madison, etc.. ripped apart the government of the Articles of Confederation and yelled for creation of a strong Federal government led by a strong president and which had the power of taxation.
If one reads comments by Washington or Hamilton or Franklin during the 1780s, they constantly complain states have too much power and they seek creation of a central federal government. Washington is furious at white males grabbing funs like in Shays Rebellion and trying to enforce their will upon government. Of course, Washington had absolutely NO FAITH in local militia and they were the last group he would entrust with the nation's security.
Perhaps, Ron Paul and those who believe "our Founding Fathers" wanted a weak national government could produce evidence in the Constitution to that effect. Hamilton even created the Bank of the US (18th century version of Federal Reserve System?) and pushed for taxes to run the government.
Oh, Republican right wingers, I hate to tell you and the idiot Sarah Palin, but Washington in his Farewell Address NEVER used the expression about avoiding "entangling alliances." Actually, to set the record straight, Jefferson used those words in 1800. But, then again, asking NRA followers or right wing believers in no government involvement in the economy to actually read American history would be the 8th wonder of the world.
Oh, for the record. Here is what the Federal government of "Our Founding Fathers" did;
Purchased the Louisiana Territory even though the Constitution never says Congress has such power.
Built roads and canals all over the nation.
Founded the Bank of the US
Fought a war against the Barbary Pirates–without Congress declaring war.
Crushed local rifle toting groups like Shays Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion
Imposed tariffs to protect businessmen
Launched an invasion of Canada
Passed the infamous Alien & Sedition Act– opposed by Democrats like Jefferson.
Gave land to states to build the first colleges in the mid-west
Washington urged building of a national university run by the government.
Created the first modern political party –Jefferson's Republican-Democratic party.
P.S. I doubt if Washington would have supported men with rifles bringing them to church, not that Washington ever went to church.

Does anyone have the USDA Agriculture Handbook #335 titled BEEKEEPING IN THE UNITED STATES? I was thumbing through it tonight and realized it has a chapter titled MANAGEMENT OF WILD BEES. It deals with leaf cutter, alkali, blue orchard, bumble and anthrophoridae bees. I should try to get it scanned and digitized for the web.

Duo Posing as ADT Reps Arrested for Deceptive Sales Practices
Grandview Police arrested two Security Networks salespeople for impersonating ADT representatives and misleading an elderly woman into updating her security system.
By SSI Staff · March 13, 2014
GRANDVIEW, Mo. — The Grandview Police Department has charged two Security Networks door-to-door alarm salespeople with deceptive business practices after they misled an elderly woman into updating her ADT security system.
Police arrested Colton Halladay, 22, and Steena Berry, 21, on March 11 after an elderly woman contacted on police and told them that two people dressed in ADT uniforms and wearing badges told her that she needed to convert her current security solution to a wireless system. The duo allegedly claimed that her system could be compromised if someone cut the phone line if she didn't make the switch, Fox 4 KC reports.
During the conversation, Halladay mentioned that the pair actually worked for Security Networks, but were still affiliated with ADT. The woman then signed paperwork that authorized the update and monthly charge of $40.99 over a period of 60 months, which, if the term had been fulfilled, would have cost the woman $2,459 for the update.
While the two were going door-to-door, an officer approached Halladay and Berry and asked what the couple was doing. Halladay told the officer that he was working for Vision Security of Utah and selling security updates. The officer arrested the pair when they admitted they had sold a security system to an elderly woman.
During the interrogation, Halladay told a detective that he told the woman "I'm here in regards to your ADT system on behalf of Security Networks."
Last year, Security Networks and its affiliate Vision Security agreed to pay ADT $2.2 million in damages for misleading consumers to believe the companies were affiliated with ADT.
and financial exploitation of the elderly after they posed as ADT, Brinks and Honeywell representatives.

I am so upset with this article, not at these two reps, but at the public & our own police force's accusations. These two showed up at my door & did not misrepresent themselves at all, they were the kindest young folk & only trying to help keep my neighborhood safe. They let me know at the door who they represented, I however already got a new system fully updated and didn't need their services at this time. I hope the city of Grandview straightens their story up & these two will be left alone.
By Sherri Robertson on March 19, 2014
They deserve to be in jail. They are here from Utah to make your neighbor hood safe? Sherri must work for Vision… These scumbags come to Kansas City scamming people every year under different company names. They have already lost a law suit for misleading customers. They will sell their accounts to somebody else then disappear and you will be screwed. Don't listen to the idiot who commented above me. aka:Sherri

UTSA philosophy professor dies Aug. 5
By Kareem el Dahab
Special Projects Writer
(Aug. 11, 2006)-- Arthur "Ron" Miller, a UTSA professor of philosophy for thirty-one years, died Aug. 5 at age 57 after a battle with cancer.
A memorial service for Miller is 11 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 16 at the UTSA Arts Building Recital Hall.

Miller received his Ph.D. degree in philosophy from Michigan State University. A prolific writer and publisher, he published his first article in the prestigious journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy as a graduate student. He continued publishing for many years in other prestigious journals such as "Mind." In his later years, he published pieces on moral issues in "Free Inquiry" and "Secular Nation."
He enjoyed teaching and upheld the intellectual welfare of his students. Ron was a researcher and aficionado of the writing and music of Woody Guthrie, and an ardent fan of rural, black blues and Bob Dylan. He loved traveling, especially to New York City.
Miller was born Jan. 27, 1949, to the late Arthur R. Miller and Nannette Corcoran Miller, in Wheeling, W.Va. He is survived by his wife of thirty-five years, Candi Miller and his two daughters, Carol Miller-Jenkins and Beverly Miller.

Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
its similar to the pick play on offense that most teams run, where a wr runs into a defender covering another player. the league caught up with that eventually as I suspect they will with all teams whose DL utilize this tactic. If SF is doing it, I'm positive other teams r as well.
and u really do have to start wondering if their D wont be as strong if the refs start flagging D holding.
None of this stuff takes away the fact that they have a very good defense, and it will undoubtedly be one of the biggest challenges the Giants face all season
This stuff goes on in the trenches in every game. It's nothing new. Players on the line use whatever they can get away with to get an advantage. It goes on everywhere. This is a huge non-story. Shut up and play the game. Is amazing how much hype this game is getting. They are making it out like 1990 when we were both 10-0 or something like that.
I am sure that technique is taught to very Dlineman. You actually think the NIners "invented" this??
Come on guys......get real. Happens all the time all in prob every level of football.
I call it....Reallygate? Obviousgate.....Bull****gate......Ridiculousgate.. .....

More than a week has gone by since a massive earthquake rocked Japan. But residents are still trembling. The magnitude 9.0 quake ripped through the country's northeastern coast at 2:46 p.m. on March 11. Buildings buckled, highways collapsed and fires broke out. It was the strongest earthquake on record to hit Japan, and the fourth most powerful to strike anywhere in the last 100 years.
The quake struck in the Pacific Ocean, 17 miles beneath the sea floor. The epicenter was located 80 miles off Japan's east coast, near the city of Sendai. Tokyo, the capital, is 230 miles away. Even there, people felt the ground shake. Hundreds of aftershocks followed, causing more damage.
The destruction didn't stop there. The quake triggered a tsunami (soo-nah-mee) with waves as high as a three-story building. Entire cities were swept away as the water roared inland. Shizugawa, a small fishing town, was one of them. "You cannot prepare for a tsunami this big," said Katsuko Takahashi, 50, whose home was lost in the waves.
A Disaster Deepens
Thousands of people are missing. An estimated 10,000 have died. More than 440,000 are living in temporary shelters. There are food, water and fuel shortages across the country. "In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan," said Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
The country also faces a growing nuclear threat. The quake and tsunami caused serious damage at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Four of the plant's nuclear reactors are having cooling issues. Helicopters and crews have been dumping seawater into the reactors to prevent overheating. Even so, the plant has suffered several explosions and fires, causing some radiation to escape. High levels of radiation are dangerous. Nearby residents were told to leave. Others, in an area 12 to 19 miles away, were instructed to stay inside.
Hope Amid Tragedy
The international community has rallied around Japan. Many countries, including the United States, have sent teams to aid in relief efforts. Even China, Japan's longtime rival, has pledged to help its neighbor.
About 15,000 people have been rescued. With each passing day, it is harder to find survivors. Severe cold weather has slowed search efforts. Still, miracles have been found in the rubble. On March 14, soldiers saved a 4-month-old baby from the wreckage. The infant, wearing a pink bear suit, was reunited with her father. She has become a symbol of strength for the nation.
Strength is something the country will need in the coming weeks. In a rare address, Japan's Emperor Akihito urged his people to stand united. "I pray we will all take care of each other and overcome this tragedy," he said.

Tennessee businesses owners debate online sales tax
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Internet sales have been on the rise during the past few years. Some shoppers say it's because of the convenience of shopping in your home; others say it's because you don't have to pay sales tax.
On Monday night the U.S. Senate passed a bill that could change that convenience.
Shopping online may save you a few bucks, but we learned it could also hurt some local businesses. "When people buy large [expensive] things they're obviously going to try and get the best price they can," said Mountain Sports owner Bobby Cheers.
That's not always in the store; sometimes it's online.
Businesses like L.C. King Manufactory rely heavily on internet sales. "One-third of all our business is conducted over the internet with probably 90 percent of the internet sales coming outside of the state of Tennessee," said Jack King.
We learned the current law says states can only require businesses to collect sales tax if they are located inside the state. A proposed bill could change that in the future. "I just don't think it's fair for us to have to collect and pay sales tax on sales made to people outside the state of Tennessee," said King.
If the bill passes, states could require out-of-state businesses to collect sales tax for anything purchased on the internet. That change would help states like Tennessee, who rely heavily on sales tax. "In Tennessee, we have made a conscious decision that we don't want a state income tax. So our revenue is based on a state sales tax," said Tennessee State Representative Jon Lundberg.
We learned that's why states like Tennessee would benefit from the change. "It's important for the state. We're losing revenue from that, that'll come back," said Lundberg.
The proposed limit on tax-free online shopping is leaving business owners with mixed feelings.
"If you can't save quite as much money, then they're going to be more likely to buy locally," said Cheers.
"None of this makes sense, and none of it sounds fair to me," said King.
The proposed bill will now to go the house for a vote. The Senate passed the bill with a 69-to-27 vote.
The only businesses that would be affected by the change are those making more than $1 million a year.

Local common core standard 2014
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - California public schools will never be the same; tablets will replace textbooks and pencils will go the way of the blackboard, come 2014.
Parents may not even know it's about to happen, but California is joining 44 other states to launch a new curriculum known as the Common Core Standards.
Adams Elementary School Principal Amy Alzina is convinced the core curriculum is the best fix for what many criticize as California's failing public education system.
"The state standards is all about filling in bubbles, rote memorization," said Alzina. "The common core is 'show why and explain' and dives down deeper."
Santa Barbara Unified School District Superintendent Dr. David Cash agrees.
"For example, typically in a secondary student experience, he'll have a slice of algebra, a slice of world history, slice of English language arts," said Cash. "In core, there's more opportunity for those three disciplines to relate to each other."
Layered lessons and critical thinking.
Geometry won't just be about angles -- expect a lesson in statistics, too. And students viewing a Michelangelo painting, for example, will enjoy threads of literature and physics at the same time.
But not everyone will embrace the classroom change. A major shift in the way educators teach is one of the key complaints about the common core standard. And those not technologically savvy may think twice about teaching.
Orlean Koehle, state president of Eagle Forum of California, a conservative organization, opposes the new core standards for a number of reasons.
Koehle calls it "education without representation."
"None of our congressmen had an opportunity to vote on this," Koehle said.
The former English teacher is appalled at the thought of a tablet replacing a textbook.
"What child wants to curl up with a computer manual and go to sleep at night?" the former teacher said.
Koehle also believes California residents will be hit with higher taxes to pay for the technology.
District employees and local educators say teams are still defining the curriculum and trying to figure out the best way to fund the technological transformation. The goal is one tablet per student.
Special training days will be set aside for teachers in June and during summer.

At this point in the draft process my guy is Dwayne Allen. To me he seems like a guy who we have a realistic shot at getting, and he makes a lot of sense for the Giants. Did you see what Gronkowski just did tonight?!?! or as a matter of fact what he has done all year?!?!
We need a legit pass catching TE and Allen is our answer. He is also a solid run blocker. This means he would not only take our passing game to the next level, but he would also help out our running game.
Look at the Elite offenses this year NE (Gronk) NO (Graham) GB (Finely) Philly (Celek) SD (Gates) DET (Pettigrew) hello great TE's in all of them. Allen would take our offense to that top tier.

Say No to the Oakland Zoo countywide "Build a Theme Park" parcel tax
Original post made by Taxation w/o representation, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 25, 2012
They plan to use the funds for a boondoggle theme park according to this web link. See this information here -- Web Link
The Oakland Zoo does not have an elected board of directors which means such a parcel tax would fund an organization with no actual elected members. If that isn't taxation without representation, I don't know what is.
The draft text of the measure even has language saying that the funds from the parcel tax will be used to defend the many lawsuits that will surely be filed regarding this measure.
Say No to this tax measure!

The zoo and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors are together trying to pull the cute fuzzy animal wool over voters eyes with this very deceptive measure, put on the ballot on the last day of their session. It was only by chance that community members discovered this and managed to get an opposition statement in the Voters Information Pamphlet. Please read the measure carefully and you will discover that this 25 year, irrevocable tax, gives the zoological society freedom to spend the approimately $130 million any way they choose, and also states that in the event of any legal challenge to their implementation of the moneys, the tax will pay their legal expences. Do we really want to give taxing authority to a private entity which is not subject to public freedom of information statutes? I, for one, say NO WAY! see www.saveknowland.org for more info

on Oct 4, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Terry, thanks for the information. I clicked on smartvoter.org for A1 and see this Web Link and that this measure is opposed by the Alameda Creek Alliance and California Native Plants Society. In the arguments, it says the zoo is run by a private nonprofit corporation with no publicly elected representatives and isn't required to follow California's open records and meetings laws.
Very disappointed that superintendent of "public" schools in Pleasanton has endorsed Pleasanton residents supporting Oakland through a parcel tax. I say "public" because by reading some other threads on this forum, it sounds like they aren't very "public" anymore.

Maybe it is better for folks in Pleasanton, but when I opened my property tax bill the other day, I counted 19!!! yes, 19, extra fees added on by the city of Oakland. I am now faced with the possibility of having a whole NEW, tax bill, this time coming from the Oakland Zoo!!! At a League of Womans Voters forum in Piedmont the other night, the zoo ceo, Joel Parrott,when questioned, admitted they have spent $1,000,000 so far on their yes on A1 campaign. Maybe that is why they don't have the dough to pay for animal feed. I do hope our friends and neighbors in East county communities will decide not to buy their false story and join the swelling numbers who will get informed, stand up and join us in VOTING NO ON A1. wwwsaveknowland.org

Please people, send A1 down to a crushing defeat. This proposition gives taxing authority to a private company.

I often hear seasoned beekeepers say things like, "wax moth larvae are only a problem for weak colonies", or "wax moth larvae are only scavengers and something else must have weakened/damaged/killed the colony, first".
Yet, quite regularly, I have had very strong, thriving colonies receive varying degree of damage from wax moth larvae.
I regularly see a few wax moth larvae burrowing into sealed brood on solid frames of sealed brood, in extremely strong colonies. I regularly see patches of mature brood, who have removed their cappings, but cannot exit their cells because wax moth larval webs have locked them to the comb. In effect, buried alive, trapped in their wombs.
Certain Bt products, like Certan (B401) have greatly reduced these problems, but I've observed this issue as long as I've been keeping bees, and in every part of this country, where I've had bees. From San Diego, CA; Oak Harbor, WA; Key, OH; to Fort Walton Beach, FL, and many places in-between.
I am amazed that so many seasoned beekeepers have observed or interpreted differently. Perhaps it's my style of beekeeping -- I open and inspect many of my hives, almost daily; I frequently shake the bees from combs to observe the combs more closely. When I do this with combs of sealed brood, I frequently see wax moth larvae doing their dirty business. I also regularly see Varroa mites crawling on the surface of capped brood.

VIDEO: Promo - Parenthetical Girls' New Album PRIVILEGE; Tour to Kick Off This Spring
Parenthetical Girls will tour the US this Spring (including a stop at SXSW) in support of their forthcoming album, Privilege, which is out Feb. 19 via Marriage Records and the band's own Slender Means Society label. See full tour dates, and check out the first in a series of commercials for the album, below!
Unconventional is probably the most succinct way of putting it. Obsessive, eccentric, indulgent: they're all equally fair. If Parenthetical Girls have learned anything over the course of their bewilderingly unorthodox discography, it's that they are-for richer or for poorer-a necessarily singular pop group. It's a peculiarity that they've learned to embrace-a single-minded conviction that pours itself over every corner of their latest album, Privilege.
Having taken pop extravagance to its logical conclusion with their critically acclaimed, orchestral pop opus Entanglements, Privilege finds a newly emboldened Parenthetical Girls giving the orchestra their leave-a brazen reinvention as immediate as it is inspired. Returning to its core membership of vocalist/creative director Zac Pennington and producer/arranger Jherek Bischoff (composer and collaborator with David Byrne, Amanda Palmer, Xiu Xiu, etc.), Privilege retains the group's signature ambitions-visceral intimacy, camp austerity, lurid eloquence-while confidently embracing the perfect pop pastiche their previous records only alluded to. Anchored by Pennington's distinctively lilting vibrato, Privilege is a cascade of grim particulars and gallows humor-an unflinching treatise on privilege, indiscretion, betrayal, sex and class politics, failure, and resignation. This is Parenthetical Girls in fighting trim: unbridled, unambiguous, and with a new creative candor that's felt in both its words and music.
Originally recorded and self-released as a sequence of five self-contained, extremely limited 12" EPs (each heroically hand-numbered in the blood of the group's members, and available only through direct mailorder) the ambitious Privilege series was a grand and unequivocally impractical achievement. Privilege condenses the 21 recordings of the original series to a single, 12-track, remixed and remastered statement of purpose: a bold, strikingly cohesive pop clarion call that further solidifies Parenthetical Girls' place amongst the most surprising and uncompromising pop groups at work today.

Internet 'Kill Switch' Legislation Back in Play
Here's an excerpt from Wired:
The resurgence of the so-called "kill switch" legislation came the same day Egyptians faced an internet blackout designed to counter massive demonstrations in that country.
The bill, which has bipartisan support, is being floated by Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican ranking member on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The proposed legislation, which Collins said would not give the president the same power Egypt's Hosni Mubarak is exercising to quell dissent, sailed through the Homeland Security Committee in December but expired with the new Congress weeks later.
The bill is designed to protect against "significant" cyber threats before they cause damage, Collins said.
And another quote showing an effort I support:
About two dozen groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center for Democracy & Technology, were skeptical enough to file an open letter opposing the idea. They are concerned that the measure, if it became law, might be used to censor the internet.
"It is imperative that cyber-security legislation not erode our rights," (.pdf) the groups wrote last year to Congress.
Let the conversation begin...

Cops: Fla driver hits, kills bicyclist, then flees
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 6:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 6:43 p.m.
DAVIE — Authorities say a South Florida driver struck and killed a bicyclist then continued on a path of reckless driving, sideswiping several vehicles before crashing into an SUV.
Broward Sheriff's officials said 28-year-old Jose Javier Monserrate-Dural was fleeing a hit and run car accident on Saturday when he struck and killed a bicyclist. Sixty-three year-old Dwight Morrison was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver also fled that accident, sideswiping three vehicles before crashing head-on into a fourth. Deputies said none of the motorists were severely injured. One was transported to the hospital for a minor injury.

text: Let's try to settle a few misconceptions about Bynum: Does he shoot the ball too much? Per 36 minutes Stuckey: 15.8 FGA and 5.2 FTA = 18.4 est FGA Jennings: 15.2 FGA and 4.5 FTA= 17.5 est FGA Bynum: 15.3 FGA and 4.1 FTA= 17.3 est FGA So, if you factor in shots from the field and also shots where they get fouled, Bynum shoots the ball more infrequently than BJ and RS. Chris Paul attempts 14.4 and 5.9 for comparison (17.4), which is identical to Bynum when blending all attempts. Conclusion: Bynum attempts shots at a similar rate as the best point guard in the NBA and also at a lower rate than the guy that sent Billups packing and the guy that starts every game for us. Now, if he doesn't shoot the ball any more frequently than all these other guys, what could the remaining issues be? Does he pass the ball? He generates 20.3 points per 48 min on assists. This isn't quite as good as Jennings, who is at 23.5 points, but Jennings is #8 in the league in assists per game right now. Bynum's assists generate more points for the team per minute than these guys: Lebron James, Mike Conley, Tyreke Evans, Trey Burke, Isiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving. He's tied with MCW. Bynum gets a lot of assists that result in 3-pointers, which boosts his points off assists total compared to his gross assists. His drive and oop or drive and kicks are both very effective and result in more assists per pass than other players. Jennings passes the ball 84.2 times per 48 minutes and gets 10.7 assists (12.7% of his passes) Bynum passes the ball 65.7 times per 48 minutes and gets 9.1 assists (13.9% of his passes). Does he take good shots? WB- .462 eFG/ .508 TS% BJ- .468 eFG/ .491 RS- .451 eFG/ .513 He has a higher TS% than Jennings and a higher eFG than Stuckey. It is clear that his efficiency on shots is right on par with the other guards on our team. All 3 of them are bad shooters and have low efficiency. Is he a bad defender? Yes. In conclusion: We have a bench guard that we are not paying very much money. He basically is producing at the same level as our prize FA starting PG. He shoots the ball as frequently as Chris Paul and he assists at the same rate as Lebron James and a long list of starting point guards that we covet. Our bench scored 85 points in this one!

So I want to repackage several creams that I will NOT use regularly (say anti fungal cream, cream for cold sores, etc)
I dont want to use the normal cream dispensers (like the ones I use for say sunscreen) cause they are too big – but am having difficulties getting the creams into the small bottles (eg aquamira pre mix like MLD sells)

I use these little food bottles found at my local Mitsuwa Asian market. I believe they're for things like mayo and such in Japanese lunch/bento boxes. Not sure how anyone would fill these normally with their tiny hole. I suspect that there is some injector tool for this that they either didn't have in stock or don't carry. I'll have to look carefully for something like this the next time I'm there.
Either way, I repackage things like sunblock and toothpaste into them. They came in a pack of both square bottles and ones shaped like pigs (where the cap forms the snout). The square ones work perfect and are about 1.5"Hx1"Wx0.75"D. I'll look at the packaging tonight and see if I can determine a brand or where else they could be found.
They work great because the tiny opening on them fits perfect just inside a toothpaste tube. Squeeze the little bottle down as much as possible, butt it up against the toothpaste tube opening and squeeze. Sunblock squeezes in easily with the original tubes small hole.
Other thoughts…use a marinade injector to fill whatever you may need.

+1 on Ken's marinade injector thought. I use one to refill the many small containers I've stockpiled over the years. I especially like mini sized actual toothpaste, sunscreen, anti-fungal cream tubes because then there is no question about the labeling.
I saved all the micro toothpaste tubes I got in Chinese hotels. And I get a lot of medical, professional samples of OTC and RX drugs. It helps to have an MD wife, but you can ask any doc for stuff within their speciality. Drug reps inundate them with little samples of everything new and wonderful.Oct 16, 2012 at 8:55 pm #1922005

Just found this supplier. The lowest quantity they sell is 25 bottles, but what's that about four BPLer's worth of toiletries? Actually, I've read some of the spartan lists, it's probably more like 24 to 30 BPLer's worth of toiletries. ;-DOct 17, 2012 at 6:39 am #1922085

If you have a farm supply store nearby, look for teat cannulas made by Jorgensen–made to inject medication into cow udders. When connected to a 3 cc syringe, makes filling those tiny dropper bottles a breeze.
Or check with your friendly neighborhood large animal veterinarian. The average vet catering to dogs and cats, not so likely to have these laying around.Oct 18, 2012 at 8:40 am #1922485

I cannot begin to tell you how completely thrilled I am to be working with The Dating Divas! Let's just say I may have jumped up and down like an excited little girl when the opportunity came!
While there are many reasons why I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a videographer, my foremost reason stems from losing a loved one and wanting so desperately to be able to go back in time so I could bottle up all of the wonderful memories I had of that special person. I have discovered that, thru film, I could make memories last a lifetime. I love capturing one's most treasured moments. Then by adding a few artistic elements, I have the joy of creating a keepsake of those moments to relive forever.
I find my passion for film-making grows as I film events and everyday moments that bring focus to what matters most in this life — family. Like the famous childhood song states, "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage" …and might I add, many diaper changes, birthday parties, family outings…the list goes on and on. These are the moments we wish to relive. These are the moments Carrie Miller Films captures and preserves for you to cherish for a lifetime.

|Check-in before
very nice appartment in a charming neighbourhood. muriel is a wonderful, patiently host. she helped us a lot and explainded everything we needed to know. don't miss the bakery in ground-floor with excellent croissants and all you need!
If you are looking for a typical traditional house-roof of Paris apartment this is it!
We had a very interesting stay and "warm" welcome by Muriel the land-lord.
The area is full of small restaurants and cafee's. It is close to Metro and buses.
We can recommend this warmly.
Lovely and charming apartment in a cozy quarter. This is where Paris is Paris. great view from the windows to Monmatre.
The host is nice and friendly. She has in-depth knowledge of Jazz. A large jazz collection for free use in the appartement.
However time was exiting, because of the attacks of 13th Sepember 2015 in Paris, we decided to go to Paris and after all we were glad to go. The appartment was special and cosy, like last time and I felt again like a real Parisienne when I bought y bread for the breakfast. People in Paris on the street, passengers, were very kind to each other . We think because of the fright. That was a god thing to note.
We had a wonderful time and w like the hospitality of Muriel. Next year we shal come again. Robert & Monique
The stay at Muriel's apartment was very pleasant. I felt at home from the beginning, with Muriel's warm welcome and her useful individual tips for having a good time in Paris. Everything was really fine in this comfortable and charming apartment - thank you, Muriel! All the best Petra
Really a very charming hostess.
Everyday we received an message from Muriel asking for if we need something, if everything was ok.
A good choice.
Thank you very much Muriel.
Lovely apartment, great decoration and perfectly located. We stayed there for a week and felt home from the moment we checked in. Highly recommended!
Thanks to Muriel it was perfect and a fantastic time!
So romantic apartment! nice view, apartment has been equipped with everything I need.
The bus stop is right in front of the house, and metro is a 5-minute walk away. Plus, There are many great restaurants in town!
It 'was very nice and romantic to spend our first New Year's Eve in Paris in the comfortable home of Muriel.
Cozy, furnished with care and taste, and especially hot. For us it was the first experience in an apartment, surely repeat: it was very comfortable to come home and be able to listen to a CD or read a book. The aseptic hotels do not offer the same warmth.
Muriel is an excellent land lady and will put you instantly at ease, as he did with us. Her apartment with a stunning panoramic view over the rooftops of Paris is well connected with the metro and other means of transport and is located in a beautiful area, full of restaurants, bistros, cafes, supermarket, etc. ..
We hope to return soon!
Stefania and Danilo
A very charming Parisian apartment indeed! Well equipped, really spacious in its size and with a breathtaking view over the roofs of Paris!
A warm welcome through host Muriel, including special tips for the near surrounding as for Paris in general, like markets, jazz-clubs, museums, boat-trips and much more …
And amazingly quiet for being situated in the heart of Paris.
I can absolutely recommend this place! – and will surely book it again myself.

It's common courtesy and standard internet protocol that when you post, via a hotlink, to someone's photo, and are using their bandwidth, that you provide a link back to that person's source page which is hosting the image. Also, if you save an image and upload it here, that you credit the photo to its original source. This is practically an epidemic here and is no different than posting an article without a link to its source or who wrote it. It's basically photo plagiarism.
My suggestion is that if this isn't already a rule of conduct here, it should be, and should be made clear in some way, and of course, enforced.
