INDIAN LAND – Michael Anderson has been on mission since he was a senior in high school.
That is when, Anderson said, he "got saved" and God birthed within him "a desire to be on mission, really, everywhere I am."
The Lancaster County Council of the Arts will host the "Women Artists in Harmony" exhibit in the Springs House Galleries during April.
This spring show is a collaborative exhibit of 13 diverse local women artists. Each is a talented individual with a focus and style unique to their interests and media.
Pattie Schlesner and Shirley Wood will have many of their fine jewelry designs available in a variety of stonework, beading and polymer clay.
Juanita Wood and Melissa A. Lawson have chosen striking works in photography for exhibit.

You've heard the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." When it comes to preserving and enjoying history, that proverb is especially true. Fortunately, some of our very own Lancaster artists are doing their part to keep Lancaster's history alive through visual arts. You'll have a chance to see their work and meet some of them in person at the Cultural Arts Center, 307 W. Gay St., Lancaster, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5.

GREAT FALLS – For the first time in his life, Henry "Bubba" Stevenson Jr. can offer a handshake. But it's not your everyday handshake – it's bionic.
Stevenson, 23, was fitted with a "1-limb ultra bionic arm" on Sept. 22.
Stevenson was born without arms. On his right side, his arm stops shy of his elbow and on his left side, there is only a nub below his shoulder.

The fourth annual National Missions Day will be at the Lancaster Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 4.
There is still time to register for free tent space and be a part of this large community outreach event.
Founded by apostle Ollie Alexander, ambassador for international missions, the idea of the event is to not only reach out to the community, but foster and encourage a sense of unity between different churches, outreaches and ministries that participate.

Are you satisfied with your general physique, or would you like to get rid of a few extra pounds? If your answer is the latter, quit looking for that magic pill and just follow several general guidelines that will help you work toward a healthier body.
Atkins™, South Beach™, The Zone Diet™ and countless other types of diets have each been hyped as the perfect diet strategy to shed those unwanted pounds. While they may have shown initial results, most have failed to demonstrate long-term success in keeping the weight off. Here's an important tip to remember: Your body must burn more calories than it is taking in to lose weight. One pound of fat equals 3,500 calories, so if you want to lose 1 pound per week you need to average a caloric deficit of 500 calories per day.
Don't worry—that doesn't mean you have to get on the treadmill and run until you have burned 3,500 calories to lose a pound. Your goal is to combine increased activity with some cutbacks in your diet.
To manage weight, you need to determine the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you burn. Your body has something called the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is the amount of calories you burn at rest in order to survive. It accounts for roughly 60 to 75% of all the calories you burn in a given day. That's right—you are actually burning a small amount of calories while you are sleeping.
Use the following website to determine your BMR and daily calorie needs: BMR calculator.
Now that you've determined your daily caloric needs, you need to set a realistic goal of 1 to 2 pounds per week and determine how many calories you'll need to forgo to lose those pesky pounds.
As surprising as it might sound, managing your weight is easier than you might imagine. There is no need to spend hours planning your diet. Just follow several simple guidelines and keep the calorie deficit in mind.
Research shows that lower-intensity exercise uses a larger percentage of fat as fuel compared to higher-intensity exercise. However, it does not burn as many calories as higher-intensity exercise and, consequently will not result in as much body weight or fat loss. Gradually increase the intensity to increase your caloric deficit while continuing to burn fats. Higher-intensity exercise also has a greater impact on keeping your metabolism elevated after your workout, which adds a few more calories to your deficit. Remember, always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program and choose the intensity that is appropriate for you.
Strength training offers many health benefits, including an increase in the number of calories burned. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, and building muscles costs a lot of energy. As you increase the amount of muscle you have, you will also increase your resting metabolic rate. To prevent injury and develop consistency, start off with one to two sets of 12 to 15 repetitions for all major muscle groups.

MIRROR SHIMMER: The European Southern Observatory needs a new mirror on one of its telescopes. The mirror's 1.12 metres across, which is a fair size, but it's also only 2 millimeters thick — thinner than most glass windows. When the mirror's installed it will be continuously deformed to correct for the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere and so create much sharper images. That's why it's so thin. To change its shape 1170 actuators apply a force on 1170 magnets glued to the back of the thin shell. They can do that up to 1,000 times per second. The whole thing's controlled by very sophisticated special-purpose electronics, of course. Oh, and those 2 millimetres of glass were ground from an original block that was more than 70 millimetres thick. That's an extremely sophisticated system.
COASTER IN CHARGE: The onE Puck from Epiphany is basically a thick drinks coaster. Inside is a Stirling engine though, so when you put a hot or cold drink on top of it electricity is generated.
And what do you do with that electricity? Charge your phone, of course. That's a nice asset in the office.
LOGGING ROADS: A team of engineers analysed the cellphone call logs of 680,000 Boston-area drivers, tracing commutes anonymously from origin to destination. They found that during rush hour 98% of roads in the Boston area were below capacity while 2% had more traffic than they could handle. Roads that connected different areas of the city tended to be most congested. They also found it was a small number of drivers from just a few areas who caused congestion, because they made particularly intensive use of the problematic roads. By reducing traffic in just a few areas planners could make everyone's trip faster and smoother. Now what will they actually do about it?
GENETIC EXPERTS: Ordering a medical test is one thing, but interpreting the results needs a lot of skills and knowledge. While most doctors can handle things like blood tests, working with DNA sequencing test results may require very specialised expertise. Coriell Life Sciences in the USA aim to help with ordering, storing, and interpreting whole-genome-sequence data for doctors. One aspect of the service is that the genomic data is stored in one place, then doctors can order various analyses and interpretations of parts of it. The doctor receives a report, then adds data to the patient's medical records and explains what it all means. Technology's hard enough to keep up with; medical technology must be a nightmare for doctors.
WALKING ON AIR: Volvo's V40 hatch is designed to help protect pedestrians who end up being hit. Sensors in the front bumper detect when a pedestrian has been hit then trigger an airbag that inflates near the bottom of the windscreen. The airbag is designed to prevent head injuries which are the biggest cause of death for pedestrians. Pedestrians: check the car's make and model before throwing yourself in front of it.

Grim's Tales: Tis the season, no, not that one
It's that time of year again. I don't know about your family, but this time of year brings about what is probably my family's biggest tradition.
Of course, I am talking about the Lenten Challenge.
What, your family doesn't have a Lenten Challenge? Mine does. It even comes with a trophy. There's a chance that this concept is a little unfamiliar to you if you aren't Catholic. So let me break it down for you.
To my family, Lent is bittersweet. Sure, we aren't allowed to have steak on Fridays, but it is a time when once a week, for six weeks, my family dines on delicious fried fish.
Lent also marks the one time of the year where my family becomes the most forgetful bunch of yokels outside of a memory care unit. So we made a game out of remembering not to eat meat.
For years we have relished and dreaded Lenten Fridays. We eat dinner at 5 almost every day of the year, but during Lent we call one another about a half-hour after eating our last meal of the day. We do it at this time because we wouldn't want to warn one another.
Most failures come at lunchtime. If we are lucky, we realize that our leftover steak sandwich is forbidden before we eat it, and on that day, we might just go hungry or eat plain white bread if no easy alternative is near. We usually realize what we have done two bites into a beef taco, leftover pizza we brought into work, or some other food that was really hitting the spot until we realized what day it is.
Our reaction? We either finish the meal in shame, or pack it away in anger.
What is it all about? That's easy. It's a carved wooden fish with big lips, buck teeth and googly eyes glued on top of a brown beer bottle etched with our family crest and the words "Lenten Challenge." It is a trophy that only a Grimler could love.
Among my mother, two brothers and my sister, whoever makes it to Easter without messing up gets the trophy for the year. We aren't really sure what to do with ties, but usually we don't have to worry about it.
We are only one week down. Two have already fallen, but I am still in the game. My sister and oldest brother both failed on Ash Wednesday, and my sister did again last Friday.
I was hoping that my mother would fall to the siren's call of the leftover T-bone in the fridge, but, as is common, she stayed up until 1 a.m. to enjoy it as an early prize.
Some day I am going to set the clocks in the house ahead just to catch her off guard. After all, this is war.

BlueCross, MissionPoint Health Partners Launch Accountable Care Network Health Plan Option for Self-Funded Employer Groups
March 5, 2013 -- NASHVILLE, Tenn. BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee will partner with MissionPoint Health Partners in a four-year arrangement focused on quality and affordability of care, with the goal of delivering outstanding medical value in the Middle Tennessee Nashville metro area marketplace.
Through the partnership, BlueCross will launch a product built around MissionPoint's accountable care organization that is available to self-funded employer groups.
The new agreement between MissionPoint and BlueCross goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, and focuses on realizing four core objectives:
Enhancing the health status of the community
Reducing health care costs
Improving the patient experience
Enriching the lives of caregivers
Launched in January 2012, MissionPoint has already demonstrated results in achieving these objectives serving more than 50,000 members in Middle Tennessee. The ACO partnership with MissionPoint is the first for BlueCross in Middle Tennessee. ACOs were originally conceived to link payments to outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries.
MissionPoint will be offered as the exclusive ACO health plan to self-funded employer groups. This will give members access to the region's proven and most comprehensive ACO network health plan system through BlueCross and will drive savings for customers.
As a non-profit organization founded by Saint Thomas Health and a group of dedicated physicians, MissionPoint has shown it is possible to deliver higher quality care while reducing health care costs to individuals, employers and entire populations of people.
MissionPoint provides various services to members including:
Health coaching
Health navigation
Home visits
Preventive health services
Strategies for managing a member's individual health
This is truly a partnership of strengths in Nashville, said J.D. Hickey, executive vice president & COO for BlueCross. MissionPoint has demonstrated that it is able to deliver enhanced, accountable care in a completely different way. Our agreement with MissionPoint enhances our own efforts to improve quality and deliver a better customer experience. This has the added benefit of cost savings for our customers, which ultimately makes us both more competitive in this marketplace.
We are excited to partner with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee in offering a new product to the community, expanding our efforts in continuously improving quality outcomes and lowering costs, said Jason Dinger, CEO of MissionPoint Health Partners. MissionPoint truly is a new platform for health care delivery. Weve been extremely pleased with the response from patients, physicians and the business community. Now, working with BlueCross, we have the opportunity to provide our unique approach to health care to more individuals and communities.
Building the MissionPoint ACO health plan into a product is one way that BlueCross works to curb costs for customers. By choosing this option as part of a benefits plan, both employers and employees can share in the savings.
About MissionPoint Health Partners
MissionPoint Health Partners is part of Saint Thomas Health in Nashville, TN which is owned and operated by Ascension Health. As a not for profit organization, we are committed to the vision and values of Ascension Health, not only serving the healthcare needs of our community but the poor and vulnerable among us. In its first year of operation, MissionPoint now serves 50,000 members in Middle Tennessee, delivering high-quality healthcare in a patient-focused, smarter way while reducing health care costs to individuals, employers and entire populations of people.

#NYG Not at Tank Carradine's workout. https://twitter.com/joereedy/status/325684045499482113 … Wonder what that means. Giants always good at hiding interest in players.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
Source: Milwaukee Journal-SentinelNFL scouts reportedly say Alabama OG Chance Warmack has a problem with "excessive sweating," which can lead to weardown in the fourth quarter of games.Warmack at times required in-game IVs at Alabama, so he'll have to learn to hydrate better in the pros. It's interesting, but obviously not a huge concern for Warmack's draft stock. "He's one of those guys like Will Shields that will just sit in there and play until they retire him," one scout said. "Country boy from Georgia. He's kind of a road grader in the run game and a fire hydrant in the passing game. You're not going to move him off his spot."
When Warmack sweats, up comes the shirt and out comes the belly. He's then good to go. No worries there....
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."

2. Arthur Brown LB KSU

6. Walter Stewart Edge Rusher Cinci
7. Dennis Johnson RB Arkansas

I seen Kiper and them talking about Eifert going in the top 15.. That would be great for us, because theres one more positon we probably won't be grabbing in the 1st, and the value isn't great and someone else drops a spot.. Add in a QB or 2 going we didn't think would , like Matt Barkley and possibly Tyler Wilson, and we could get a pick of the litter, with more players to choose from then when we got lucky with Prince dropping to us..

Teams looking for a quarterback in the draft must deal with the harsh reality of supply and demand.
Essentially, there aren't enough elite quarterbacks to go around. But that doesn't mean a team won't take a shot in the dark, hoping that a quarterback prospect blossoms into a Pro Bowler.
The beneficiary this April likely will be former Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who's starting to rocket up draft boards.

I've noticed that most, if not all, commercial wooden frames have End Bars that have their sides trimmed, so as to narrow them towards their bottom ends. I also noticed that Mann Lake, PF120 and PF125 plastic small-cell frames have, virtually no taper to their End Bars, and they are nearly parallel for their entire length.
I've only recently taken to designing and making my own wooden frames, and I've made all of mine, deep or medium, with parallel sided End Bars. Initially I made them with parallel sides, because I have almost always been suspect of frames made with the taper, and wanted to try a different design. I have learned to prefer these frames with parallel sided End Bars -- the primary benefit I see is that, what I call, "frame slap" is virtually eliminated. Frame slap is where the frames swing inside their supers, especially while being moved or while in transit, and slap against each other. This frame slap can be very harmful to the bees, and might even cause harm or even precipitate an untimely extirpation of the queen.
- - - - -
I began this thread, because I've seen several threads, recently, where attempts were being made, to create these narrowing End Bars. I am curious to know what, if anything, is perceived to be the benefit to this End Bar design.

all people who were born in the mid to late eighties, and grew up in the nineties. during this generation the Clinton administration was dealing with the impeachment sex-scandal. President Clinton stated that oral sex was not "really sex" this resulted in young americans becoming more comfortable with the idea of sex, and sexual activity. The Sex Generation's more liberal approach to sexual activity resulted in the once conservative culture of the united state becoming more open-minded.

OK...so I'm closing in on finishing up my son's Jango Fett....please tell what you think...I'm just finishing up the details and will be building a stubby jet pack today
Helmet: ONE END--- this helmet was a love hate relationship. I sanded literally about 2 hours worth. Especially the dome. I really liked this helmet because of its size. I used SEEKERs color scheme (scroll down in thread). I used a metallic paint for the silver instead of the rub in buff and the two blues (ocean & royal). The lines are pin stripes I got from an automotive store. The visor was a RJ Safety visor I cut out to size. I hot glued the visor , but left a few gaps for ventilation. I attached the rangefinder with a bolt, free spinning washer, and an acorn nut to top it off in the inside (check pic). I lined the top with a pad from a helmet used when riding his bike (helmet did not fit so i gutted the foam)...For the sides I used a knee pad that I bought off E-Bay that Stormtroopers use for their helmets. It Fits nice and snug on his head and he can see through the top of the visor without having to life the helmet. Thanks One End for a great helmet.
ARMOR: TK2280--Rob made my life easier and saved me a lot of time. His armor was pretty spot on in size. All I did was paint it with a Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray.
Girth Belt: (Rubies kid Jango costume). Quick and easy...and looks good...way better than trying to make your own
Blasters: Rubies kit came with holster and 2 blasters. it also has the attachment for the crotch area. I'm going to spray paint to look like real leather.
Boots: Champs snow boots ($25)...
Gloves: (batting gloves)
Gauntlets: Cruzer (these are so sick..makes we want to build a Jango). What can I say the pics do not do it justice. These things are just a mini version of what Cruzer produces for adults. All of the hardware was included with these little bad boys (buttons, hoses, switches, LED light). They were primed and ready for Paint..The missile was the icing on the cake. A professional prop maker IMHO.
Flight suit & Vest:Lady Sew for Us--I had bought this suit and vest back in April. Deb made it long enough for room to grow. Boy-o-boy did he grow in the past 6 months..I had to pull the hems out of the legs and arms...the suit fits him perfectly (not going to be able to wear next year). The flight suit is spot on and the vest is high quality. I velcro'ed the armor and added snaps for added support.
Any suggestions or ideas for a jetpack (materiel to use) etc...thanks TDH members for all our help

On July 12, I was in Missoula, Montana when Paul Bottomley, 48, was sentenced as a result of his participation in the wholesale marketing of unapproved and misbranded cancer medications. Many Americans may not know Bottomley or his criminal activities. But his sentencing was another victory in FDA's ongoing fight to safeguard Americans from misbranded, adulterated and counterfeit pharmaceuticals. This case is part of an agency-wide effort to ensure that consumers have access to high quality drugs – and that these medicines are traveling safely through increasingly complex supply chains.
Getting such predatory opportunists off the streets may be only a small part of what we do at the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations, but it is critical to protecting the public health. Our investigation found that Bottomley imported misbranded and unapproved cancer drugs from foreign countries – in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) – and sold those drugs to American physicians.
Bottomley is one of those people you hope never to meet. He sold unapproved and misbranded cancer drugs through Montana Health Care Solutions (MHCS), which began operating in 2008. In 2010, Bottomley sold MHCS to Rockley Ventures, a subsidiary of Canada Drugs, Ltd.,, but remained associated with the company as a consultant. After its sale to Rockley, MHCS began selling Avastin, a prescription drug that at the time cost nearly $2,300 a vial, approximately $600 more than what MHCS charged. In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration learned from the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) about a potential counterfeit oncology drug being marketed as Avastin. Our investigation led us ultimately to Bottomley, MHCS, and others. Numerous physicians and the officials who operated their practices confirmed that the drugs they received came from MHCS.
Cancer patients in the United States count on certain drugs to treat their disease and often to keep them alive. Sadly, some of the Avastin sold by MHCS was counterfeit. In fact, when tested, the counterfeits did not contain any of the active drug ingredient bevacizumab that is found in legitimate versions of the drug. Tragically, not only did these patients pay a high price for a worthless drug, but they didn't get the treatment they needed or expected.
But that is not all. In fact, one of the foreign sources of supply was Richard J. Taylor of Warwickshire, England. On July 11, 2012, Taylor was sentenced to 18 months in prison and a fine of $800,000 for distributing adulterated prescription drugs used for cancer treatment from the United Kingdom to multiple physicians in the United States. Like Bottomley, Taylor didn't care about the law or the patients he was short-changing. He certainly knew what was happening to them. On May 10, 2011, Taylor was notified that two patients "who had been on Avastin for a while started to shake in the middle of being transfused and had to be disconnected from treatment." A nurse advised that she had been administering such cancer drugs for years and had never seena patient react like this before.
Taylor and Bottomley both acted out of greed. In April, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Montana, Michael W. Cotter, made just that point, saying that Bottomley was motivated by nothing more: "Bottomley . . . sold potentially dangerous unapproved and misbranded pharmaceuticals at discounted prices to American physicians all for a healthy profit."
All of us who work in enforcement at the FDA have seen this pattern too often – criminal offenders seeking to profit from distributing substandard or ineffective drugs that are ultimately administered to unsuspecting and vulnerable patients. So when people like Bottomley and Taylor are sentenced, we know this is a victory for all of us, especially those who are victimized by opportunists. OCI's determined work continues to produce results. These prosecutions help deter others from such reprehensible conduct and from breaking the laws intended to protect us all.
FDA takes all reports of suspect counterfeits seriously and, in order to combat counterfeit medicines, is working with other agencies and the private sector to help protect the nation's drug supply from the threat of counterfeits. Together, we are fighting a global battle, working with our regulatory counterparts throughout the world, utilizing new tools to safeguard the public health, and prosecuting those who seek to profit at the public's expense.

Passed Security+
Thought I should do it as long as the recertification thing wasn't applied, so I don't have to worry about it in future. Exam was pretty easy, however, some questions were worded pretty weird and often it was asked about the 'best-practice' answer where several answers seemed to be legit ones.
For studying I used CompTIA Security+ Exam Cram (2nd Edition), CompTIA Security+ Deluxe Study Guide: SY0-201 and Train Signal videos.

Named after a Chinese friend whose name sounds like the Mandarin pronunciation of "bandstand," the Ting Tings -- a scrappy, dance-oriented duo consisting of singer/guitarist Katie White and drummer Jules De Martino -- formed in the Salford district of Manchester, England in 2006. Prior to forming the group, the pair worked together in 2001 when White was in the all-female punk-pop group TKO and De Martino wrote some songs for them. Later, the pair reunited and with another friend formed the trio Eskimo Kiss, which signed to Mercury Records but disbanded due in part to changing personnel at the label. De Martino and White regrouped, working on their own music and others' at Salford's music commune, the Islington Mill. Quickly signed to the local indie label Switchflicker Records, the Ting Tings released their debut single, "That's Not My Name," in the spring of 2007. Following the limited-edition, tour-only single "Fruit Machine," the Ting Tings signed to major label Columbia Records later that year. The flip side of the Switchflicker single, "Great DJ," was released as the duo's debut Columbia single in March 2008, followed by the reissue of "That's Not My Name" with a new exclusive B-side remix.
"That's Not My Name" rose to the top of the U.K. charts in May 2008, the same month that the duo's debut album, We Started Nothing, appeared. The Ting Tings spent the rest of 2008 and a large part of 2009 touring in support of the album, which eventually sold over two million copies worldwide, won the 2009 Ivor Novello Award for Best Album, and earned the group a Best New Artist Grammy nomination that December. Early in 2010, De Martino and White moved to Berlin to work on songs for their second album. Inspired by the city's atmosphere and the cold weather, they went in a darker, more electronic direction with their new songs. In August 2010, the Ting Tings offered a taste of their new material, premiering the single "Hands" -- which was mixed by Calvin Harris -- on BBC Radio 1 and officially releasing it that October. After extensive touring and over eight months recording in Germany and Spain, in March 2012 the Ting Tings offered their sophomore album, Sounds from Nowheresville, a collection of songs inspired by the exuberant freedom of the Beastie Boys' classic Paul's Boutique. ~ Stewart Mason & Heather Phares, Rovi

well connected apartment, 50 meters bus stop that takes you downtown or subway in 10 minutos.Limpio but simple. Ideal for a family with two or three niños.Las pictures are real, but looks better than es.Pequeños supermarkets and a couple of restaurants on the same street, in most Portuguese. In the street behind a large supermarket.
apartamento bien comunicado, A 50 metros parada autobus que te lleva al centro o al metro en 10 minutos.Limpio, pero sencillo. Ideal para una familia con dos o tres niños.Las fotos son reales, aunque parece mejor de lo que es.Pequeños supermercados y un par de restaurantes en la misma calle , en la mayoria portugueses. En la calle de atras un gran supermercado.
The apartment is quite centrally located and is by bus in 20-30 minutes in the center. In 10 minutes you can walk to the station at Vauxhall. We have expected for the price and no luxuries were thoroughly pleased with the apartment. We had five of us enough room and everything was clean. For the smokers among us, the garden was also very beneficial and the nearest supermarket is a few minutes away. Nick is a very nice and friendly host and everything worked perfectly. About the food for breakfast, we were very pleased. :) Next time we would stay with him, but then clarified before to pay the deposit in Euros.
Die Ferienwohnung liegt relativ zentral und man ist mit dem Bus innerhalb von 20-30 Minuten im Zentrum. In 10 Minuten ist man zu Fuß bei der Station Vauxhall. Wir haben für den Preis keinen Luxus erwartet und waren vollkommen zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Wir hatten zu fünft genug Platz und alles war sauber. Für den Raucher unter uns war der Garten zudem sehr vorteilhaft und der nächste Supermarkt ist in wenigen Minuten erreichbar.
Nick ist ein sehr netter und freundlicher Gastgeber und es hat alles perfekt geklappt. Über die Lebensmittel für das Frühstück haben wir uns sehr gefreut. :) Beim nächsten Mal würden wir wieder bei ihm wohnen, aber dann vorher klären, die Kaution in Euro zu bezahlen.
We spent 4 nights in this apartment and loved it! On arrival we were very kindly received by Nick, who has made us a filled bowl of fruit on the table and the fridge stocked with milk, eggs, bread and wine and still had other little things. For us as a family with 3 children enough space and the little garden was the ne plus ultra. The bus stopped in front of the house and all interesting targets were to be reached quickly. The crockery was perfectly adequate, only the cooking equipment just problems a little. But I think there will be improved. Since all the bedrooms at the back were, it was very quiet at night. We would book this apartment again immediately!
Wir haben 4 Nächte in dieser Wohnung verbracht und waren begeistert! Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr freundlich von Nick empfangen, der uns schon eine gefüllte Obstschale auf den Tisch gestellt und den Kühlschrank mit Milch, Eiern, Wein und Brot und noch anderen Kleinigkeiten bestückt hatte. Für uns als Familie mit 3 Kindern war ausreichend Platz und der kleine Garten das non plus ultra.
Der Bus hielt direkt vor dem Haus und alle interessanten Ziele waren in kürzester Zeit zu erreichen.
Die Geschirrausstattung war vollkommen ausreichend, nur am Kochequipment haperte es ein wenig. Aber ich denke, da wird nachgebessert.
Da alle Schlafzimmer nach hinten raus lagen, war es auch nachts sehr ruhig.
Wir würden diese Wohnung sofort wieder buchen!
The location of the apartment is perfect, easy to reach by bus. Nick, the host was very friendly and accommodating. To be desired features of bathroom and toilet left. Elegant apartment is slightly exaggerated and the apartment is definitely too expensive.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal, sehr gut mit Bussen erreichbar. Nick, der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Ausstattung von Bad und Klo lassen zu wünschen übrig. Elegante Ferienwohnung ist leicht übertrieben und die Wohnung ist auf jeden Fall zu teuer.
excellent accommodation, including families with children, and nik 'davverouna very kind and helpful. bus and metro under house 2 steps. good compromise considering the price.
ottima sistemazione,anche per famiglie con bambini, nik e' davverouna persona molto gentile e disponibile. autobus sotto casa e metro a 2 passi. ottimo compromesso visto il prezzo.
We were 6 people and we had plenty of space (kitchen/living room is big enough to hang out), and we could even enjoy the private garden. The kitchen has everything you need. Although the bathroom may be a bit small, it is not a problem. Other great things: Sainsbury is almost around the corner, the two bus stops (2 and 88) in front of the house and the tube station that is not far at all. Last but not least: Nick is very friendly! :-)
The apartment is close to the subway and buses and taxis go there. It has three double bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen and a small private garden. Nick has a kind and available. Only flaws are interior doors that do not close and a small bathroom and uncomfortable. Moreover, the water is separated from the tub and the sink. viable without great pretensions as a whole.
L'appartamento è vicino alla metropolitana e di lí passano bus e taxi. Ha tre camere con letto matrimoniale e una cucina completa di tutto e un piccolo giardino privato. Ci ha Nick una persona gentile e disponibile. Unici difetti sono le porte interne che non si chiudono e un bagno piccolo e scomodo. Peraltro il water si trova separato dalla vasca e dal lavabo. nel complesso vivibile senza grosse pretese.
Occasionally 2-storey apartment for eg 3 pairs. I was there with children + partner and it was perfect with 3 sovrum.Sedan is the combined kitchen and living room with 3 chairs and a sofa and a small garden with a balcony door. Values Nick had filled with fresh fruit and staples such as bread, milk, butter, jam, etc. Bus number 2 goes blah Victoria Staion and Oxford Street. Bus 88 goes to the blue Vauxhall Bus Station. It is easy to change to other bus routes along the two buses going. If you choose the subway and get off at Vauxhall, it is a way to go but then you can go by bus 2 +88 the last biten.Kliv off at Wheatsheaf Lane from Vauxhall by bus No. 2, it's easiest to find the apartment . We really liked and really close to everything.
Lagom lägenhet i 2 plan för tex 3 par.
Jag var där med barn+sambo och det var perfekt med 3st sovrum.Sedan är det kombinerat kök och vardagsrum med 3st stolar och en soffa samt en liten trädgård med balkongdörr.
Värden Nick hade fyllt på med färsk frukt och basvaror som tex bröd, mjölk, smör, marmelad m.m.
Buss nr 2 går bla till Victoria Staion och till Oxford Street. Buss 88 går till bla Vauxhall busstation. Det är lätt att byta till övriga busslinjer längs de båda bussarnas väg. Om man väljer tunnelbana och går av vid Vauxhall är det en bit att gå men då går det att åka med både buss 2+88 den sista biten.Kliv av vid hållplatsen Wheatsheaf Lane från Vauxhall med buss nr 2 så är det lättast att hitta lägenheten.
Vi trivdes jättebra och verkligen nära till allt.
This is a nice apartment and it's clean.
It is very good emplacement with the bus next to the apartment.
With the sun, the small garden is very pleasant.
I had a really nice stay.

text: Imagine, the name on your business card reads "Jason Garrett, Head Coach, Dallas Cowboys". You've had your run of the mill now for a good while now. You've been the rare prodigal coach, despite a paper-thin resume, compared to other unaccomplished head coaches before you. Incredibly, you actually got hired and paid handsomely just to be the offensive coordinator BEFORE the last head coach was hired.....how dadgum ego-strokingly cool is that! Kiss your bad self. Now, you man the position held in posterity for your eventual annointment. Two years in, it's been a rocky, anguished road behind that stoic face you put forth in public time and again. You're making over the roster without "making over the roster". You're rebuilding the culture without "rebuilding the culture". You're managing the whims and follies of a half-cocked, aging, paranoid man whose means and scruples know little bounds. You know what the problems are. Rebuilding a secondary was a good idea, just like drafting an offensive tackle and a finding a runner was a year before. Just like ridding the team of declining players with names your General Manager loved because he recognized their names in the newspaper. You've tip-toed lightly, carefully, respectfully. And you know this isn't finished. Perhaps you're not the best playcaller - it's possible, even for an Ivy Leaguer - but who really knows for sure? What plays work with a front line made of paper mache? Your quarterback is your best ally and worst enemy, because he gives your knucklehead owner/GM the idea that this offense should be better than it realistically is. You need a little more time, but two 8-8s later, all hell is breaking loose. Jerry done went and hired the Godfather of a new defense, so your input on that side of the ball is certainly squelched. Maybe you were for it, but it's not hitting Twitter that way. New faces that you won't select will be roaming the halls on that side of the hall soon. That's a done deal. OK, fine, you say. Better him than the all-talk-and-no-defense yahoo that was over there last year. Tired of the cutesy playsheets and televised f-bombs flying after lucky drops on third down anyway. Better for the defensive personnel on hand, particularly when draft picks and focus needs to be spent on the offensive line soon. But, again, you didn't really make that hire, and the owner is making sure everybody knows it. And now, rumors are swirling of a new offensive coordinator. A new playcaller. A new tight ends coach, which will unseat not just one of your coaches, but your brother at that. Heavy changes are coming, and you think you're going to be involved, but you're not entirely sure. You're likely fighting to keep your troops in tact and the changes in house the best you can. Let Callahan call the plays, perhaps, so you can keep it as YOUR staff and YOUR offense essentially. Whatever staff tweaks will be your doing, and the upcoming draft and offseason will reflect the needs of an offense sorely lacking fat guys with good feet that move people. This way, YOU are still presiding over the sideline as the current and future leader of this football operation. But you can hear pots and pans flying around behind the closed door at the end of the hall. Something's going on. The madman is full throttle on an offseason binge, and he's listening to everybody and nobody at the same time. Your buddy, Stephen, just shrugs his shoulders and looks at you with empty eyes. This is not new to him, but he feels your pain. He said "uncomfortable." This is getting more than uncomfortable; it's starting to piss you off. Is he trying to run you off? Has he lost all faith in you? Does he understand anything about the needs of this team he put together for you to unravel and rebuild? Did he even remember to wear underwear this morning? Is anybody listening to you at all? Do you even want to be here anymore?

Pulled the sticky board from one of my hives today to see what was going on in there and found about 100 dead hive beetles on it, around the outside of the cluster.
We had some cold weather last week, the bees must have run them out to the outside of the cluster and they froze, which suits me just fine.
More than I expected, they've been raining down for a while it seems. Hopefully this next frigid blast will kill them all off, including any larvae in the ground, and I won't see so many next year.
I don't expect any local ones this year, unlike last year when we didn't get freezing weather much. Ground froze about 6 inches down this time, should get at least one more solid freeze and that will take care of the pupae.
I've not had any problems in the hive with the beetles other than seeing more than I would like. If I see as many this year as I did last, I'll make some traps I think.

South American mammal, with receding hair line. Loves butt dwelling monkeys. Favorite snack among snakes and sloths. Is associated with incessive noises which bring to mind fire alarms, car alarms and nagging wives. Often recognized by the howling sounds made during horrible football games, namely when the Chiefs are playing.

South american rodent, much like the rat. A favorite meal to boa constrictors and pythons. Distinctive receding hairline and the inability to be quiet when around others. The rodent has bad tastes in sport teams, namely (the chiefs) and spends his day listening for gossip around the woods.
What the hell is that irritating noise. Oh, by the looks of it, the sound must be coming from that Hervil.

PD: Bend bathroom peeper spied on NWX houseguests
Surrendered in Sherwood Starbucks case; Bend PD seek tips
BEND, Ore. - A Tualatin man who faces charges of placing a small video camera, disguised as an AC power adapter, in the public restroom of a Sherwood Starbucks also allegedly recorded guests using the bathroom at his NorthWest Crossing home, Bend police said Tuesday.
Richard Eugene Ipsen, 59, turned himself in Tuesday to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, Sherwood police said. He was booked on eight counts of invasion of personal privacy and eight counts of attempted invasion of personal property.
Sherwood police said they began their investigation on May 1st, when a Starbucks employee found a device inside a bathroom. It turned out to be a hidden camera which captured patrons on video when they entered used the public restroom.
With help from the public, police said they were able to identify Ipsen as the suspect who put the camera in the restroom.
"During the course of the investigation, Sherwood police investigators learned there were additional crimes and victims of invasion of personal privacy in Bend," the Sherwood police news release stated.
Bend police Lt. Chris Carney said officers raided a home at 2325 NW Lolo Drive on June 14.
"Detectives found evidence that confirmed additional crimes of invasion of personal property had occurred in Bend, as there were recordings of house guests as they used the toilet and shower while staying at the" home on Lolo Drive, Carney said late Tuesday in a news release.
Deschutes County property tax records indicate the Ipsen Family Trust bought the two-story home, built in 2011, last October for $450,000.
Neighbors NewsChannel 21 spoke with on Tuesday said they didn't know Ipsen or his wife Carol very well. They said he and his wife moved to the home in October, but rarely seemed to be at the house.
Neighbors said the curtains were always drawn over every window and door, and that Ipsen has other family that live in another home in NorthWest Crossing.
Other neighbors said Ipsen's behavior didn't seem odd at all. Some said they'd met him and his wife a couple times and they didn't seem unusual. Neighbors also said many of the homes in NorthWest Crossing are second homes and often aren't occupied year-round.
Carney said as the investigation continues, police ask anyone with information to contact the agency at (541) 322-2960.
Sherwood police released photos of the camera used in the case "in hopes of educating the community on the types of devices that are used. Police urge anyone that believes they may have been the victim of any similar crime to contact their local authorities."

Read my review - 4/5 stars
Read my review - 4/5 stars
When I envisioned Huaraz I was picturing a quite mountain town with gingerbread houses, but who was I kidding this isn't Europe, America, or even the richer south American countries of chile and Argentina which have these ideal mountain towns this is Peru where concrete block buildings are king and while Huaraz is a pleasant safe town beautiful is not a word that comes to mind what draws people to Huaraz is whats in the foreground the Cordillera Blanca (worlds highest tropical mountain range). My first three days in Huaraz are spent bouldering, climbing, acclimatizing, and gathering gear and supply to begin a five day trek in the Cordillera Blanca-Parque Huascaran specifically the Santa Cruz/Alpamayo trek.
My trek starts in the valley of Cashpapa surround by high mountains ranging from 16000 ft (4900m) to 20000ft (6200m) you can't help feel like a ant in this world staring with mountain towering 16000ft+ above your head. My body can definitely tell where not in Kansas as the higher altitude make my head feel a bit lighter and my breathing becomes harder with the trek starting at 111000ft (3400 m) and camp the first night was 12500ft (3800meters) you start with a bang. My third day after a high mountain pass I arrive at Alpamayo base camp elevation 15000ft (4500 m) this is where my body revolts on me and I come down with a mild case of altitude sickness my arms and legs feel tingly, headache, rapid heart beat and loss of appetite. I decide its best to drop a bit of elevation and camp at Taullipama at 14000ft (4200m) this does seem to help with the headaches, but I still have a tingle sensations along with light headiness. The next day I huff and puff my way up to Puta Union pass at elevation of 15500ft (4760 meter) the views of the glaciers and high mountain lakes are stunning after enjoying the views I drop 3000ft (900m) in less than 3hours talk about a knee buster and come to Paia camp. By this time I feel much better either my body adjusting to the altitude or the fact I dropped 3000ft in elevation to 12000ft. One thing that I wish I would have hired is a donkey its much easier for a donkey to carry all your gear then you being the donkey so at $10 per day for a donkey with driver this could be in the works for future treks in south america.
After packing my gear and getting ready for the last day of hiking to the nearest town I am approached by a group of Israels asking if I could escort there friend you had come down with attitude sickness and was puking the whole night to the nearest town. I agreed to help this damsel in distress and although she was ill and stressed I give her credit for not only walking, but at a good pace I only had to help her out a couple times with drinking water and encouragement. As I got her to town of Vasqueria this prince only received a peck on the cheek rather than a lasting kiss I guess this is a good thing as a girl puking all night without brushing her teeth is never a pleasant kiss. Rather than taking a bus back to Huaraz I jump in a vegetable truck with one of my German hiking partners to enjoy the magical views along the way although it took twice as long as a regular bus the experience and the views were worth every $2 spent.
Acute Mountain sickness is a true problem in elevations above 8000ft (2400m) especially in the high mountain of Peru where the towns start at 10000ft (3100) not to mention the hikes in theCordillera Blanca start anywhere from 11-12000+ ft numerous of people have died in Cordillera Blanca region due to AMS and lack of supportive rescue services in the remote region if your three days from town and can't get to a lower elevation you can't always expect your body to automatically adjust especially if your brain has swelled or you have water in your lungs. So make sure you acclimatized before you hike, recognize symptoms of AMS, and get to lower elevation or seek medical treatment.
After saying this about acute mountain sickness, having a mild case my self I wanted to do some ice climbing and I figure what better way than to combine my love of the mountains, snow, and ice by scaling one of these mountain monsters so at 19000ft (5786 meters) I decide that I will attempt a submit bid of Vallunaraju wish me luck.
Side note one thing that cracks me up is the signs in foreign countries stuff that would never fly back in the states take a sign I saw the other day promoting a chicken sandwich the sign showing a baby chic in between a sesame bun. Good luck getting away with that in Europe or USA there would be public outcry and PETA would be in your face.
Travel Notes
Huaraz: Can be reach by bus from Trujillo or Lima 8hours ($12). I stayed at Monkey Wasi hostel ($8) great owner Gustavo and atmosphere. It has a bouldering wall to practice climbing before you venture out.
Climbing: Hatunmachay is a great place to sport climb with over 100+ routes 1 � hours out of Huaraz Andean Kingdom can help arrange transportation ($10) there is a Refugio that you can stay at for ($10 per night) or you can tent camp. Gear can be rented in town $5 shoes/harness.
Hiking/Trekking: There are plenty of treks in the area from day hikes to 12 day treks I did a combination of Santa Cruz/Alpamayo trek I rented my gear in town and bought food in total it was ($40 to rent gear and buy food) to enter the park it cost $20 this pass is good for a month so don't lose it. There are numerous companies in towns that provide treks expect to pay between $30-40 per day make sure that the trip includes all your gear, food, transportation, meals, donkeys, and guide.

text: I saw this Armstrong leaning up against a tree in a driveway just outside Lagunitas California, just north of the bay... On my way back from the wedding I was attending near Point Reyes I stopped to ask about it. A little scary because of the Big fence and all the no parking signs. However the owners were more than surprised that I wanted it and gave me a columbia 10 speed as well. Said I saved them a trip to the dump... So with that good luck I decided to throw this bike together for the buildoff. Gives me something to work on while I'm in california away from all my other projects. Hope you all enjoy. sturmey archer 3 speed rolls just fine but it needs a new shift chain before I can test the gears... this is an electric bike conversion... motor drives the front wheel, speed controlled by the second brake lever. battery was probably in a basket. I'll use this bike for some parts but I'm most excited about the head badge which I was missing from my tandem.

I was wondering who everyone here uses as their equipment supplier. I personally use Mann Lake

Mann Lake here also.
Mann lake and Brushy Mountain
It should be obvious that every major apiary equipment vendor is represented in Beesource members. If somebody didn't buy their products, they would quickly be out of business!
I utilize cold winter weather to make all my own woodenware, including frames (my shop is heated).
I have bought other items from both Brushy Mountain and HT Krantz. I have been pleased with both of these vendors.
Beesource offers free plans for building all kinds of beekeeping equipment, including extractors:

I use western bee, and I will be for the foreseeable future. Great prices and good customer service will keep me going back.
I use Kelley in Clarkson, Kentucky. It's just a 2 hour drive for me and on large orders it's worth it to save on the shipping. They have great customer service too.
Once the bee is inside, Mr. Veil is no longer your friend.
There are things only Dadant has. Things only Walter T. Kelley has. Things only Brushy Mt. has. Things only Betterbee has. Things only Mann Lake has. Things only Draper Super Bee has. I often buy boxes and bottom boards from Miller Bee Supply and sometimes from Western Bee Supply. I used to get my wire from Glory Bee. My incubator and queen bank frames are from Honey Run Apiaries. My bee jackets are from Ultra Breeze and Beeworks. My Rauchboy smokers are from The Bee Space (but they seem to be out of the large ones...). My "Hive Minders" and "Ready Date Nuc Calendars" are from Burke. Some of my queen supplies are from Beeworks. If you're only buying from one supplier you are limiting yourself.
I've been buying from Walter T. Kelley and Dadant for the last 39 years.

I use several including, mannlake, dadant, brushy mountain, walter kelly, miller bee supplies/
One thing I realized pretty quickly about living in Central KY. Being less than an hour away from both W T Kelley and a Dadant's is extremely helpful. As nice as going through catalogs and web pages is, there is nothing better for a new beekeeper than to be able to physically look at and hold the equipment, all the while chatting with helpful folks that want me to succeed as badly as I do.
Love the new folks @ BetterBee, but as mentioned above, all the bigger equipment dealers have something to offer.
I buy my hive boxes from Betterbee - I like the extra 1/8" of thickness and the finger joints go together snuggly.
(6th year, 15 hives, Zone 5b, 5500')
Take a drive to Reeseville(Lapp's) and Watertown(Dadant branch). See which one treats you better.

Mann lake, though while in California we stop by the local dadants. There is also a place close to us called drapers super bee. It has 2 locations, auburn nebraska and somewhere in Pennsylvania, but they do big business.
Humble Abodes. Wicked friendly folks.
Interesting info on the H.T. Krantz website. They have grown so much and the Hobby Beekeeper is growing to large numbers.
I have used Kelley and Brushy Mtn. Great service from both. I make most of my own wooden ware.
Brushy, miller, dadant, pigeon Mtn., so far but if the deal is right I'll go with the lowest bidder
I live halfway between both Dadant and Walter Kelley here in Central Kentucky so I use them both.

Something to think about if you go mix and match on woodware

I use Dadant because they are 10 minutes from work. That being said so far they have had good quality wooden ware and their staff was helpful with questions. Their website catalog is hard to search I think.

text: I just had to add this to the bee community. I took a few minutes to watch (no protective stuff on) my bees coming and going this morning and to decide if there was some robbing going on. It was very relaxing and fun.......until...........BAM! One little critter zapped me right below the right eye. Checked it out in the mirror and for the first time I was able to get the little venom sac and stinger out. She swelled up a bit but not too bad. Todays inspection is going to require the whole suit after that. I just feel bad that a little one went down today after I got a bit to close to her business. Thanks, that's it. juzzerbee

The silence of the left: Obama, Bush and extrajudicial killing
By Peter | JUSTICE - NEWS - POLITICS - RIGHTS - WAR | Comments Off
Salon's Glenn Greenwald has spent the duration of Obama's presidency asking a fundamental question of the left: Why are George W. Bush's transgressions, which elicited fury from Democrats and liberals, acceptable when President Obama adopts – and embraces – them? In a recent post, Glenn decries the intellectual dishonesty he sees reflected in a Washington Post poll:
During the Bush years, Guantanamo was the core symbol of right-wing radicalism and what was back then referred to as the "assault on American values and the shredding of our Constitution": so much so then when Barack Obama ran for President, he featured these issues not as a secondary but as a central plank in his campaign. But now that there is a Democrat in office presiding over Guantanamo and these other polices — rather than a big, bad, scary Republican — all of that has changed, as a new Washington Post/ABC News poll demonstrates.

Hey all, never posted here,,, because i didn't expect i'd need to 3 weeks into my beekeeping venture, but now i need some advice. I work for the cable company, and came across a beehive in one of our cable pedastals. It seems like it would be an extremely simple job to get them out, but my problem is i don't have any foundationless frames to rubberband them into. I hadn't expected to need to do this, so when i ordered all my equipment, i just got mannlake pfs. So was just wondering if any of you had advice on what to do. I was kinda thinking maybe just cutting some top bars, and rubberbanding them to top bars, but don't know if that would work. I also considered just making some quick 1/4 inch "frames" basically by just ripping wood to 1/4 and making a rectangle with ears (if that make sense). Or my 3rd option would be, just let it go to someone else who has the equip for it.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.


text: Obviously he hasn't drafted LBers high from going off he previous drafts. I remember the rumor was we were set to take Rolando McClain before Oakland took him (thank god). So that indicates he isn't averse to picking a LB in round 1. But the consensus out there in the media is that he doesn't like picking LB high. Is that true? What is true is that we need talent in the LB corp, no doubt even though we have other holes to fill. With that, I truly wonder if he would take Barr or Mack given the chance! or even CJ Mosley. After the combine, someone might rise or fall though. While we could use a lineman, or. WR or CB at 12, I'd love a sick LB to pair with a resigned Beason next year.

Southeast Asian animist communities view the universe as a tiered system consisting of an earthly world in which humans live, layered between two supernatural realms. Those upper and lower worlds, respectively associated with the sky and with the rivers and sea, are the domains of ancestors, deities and nature spirits.
The traditional Southeast Asian house and the domain of the dead are depicted as mirrors of this tripartite universe. Domestic animals are corralled beneath the house, and reptiles and fish swim in rivers running below. Human activity occurs in the middle space of the pile house, while the sacred roof cavity above is the abode of the ancestors and the storage place of sacred family heirlooms.

Eva Mendes is one hot tamale.
Eva Mendes is synonymous with everything beautiful. This sexy, curvy Latin-American actress constantly wows the audience with her roles in some of the biggest films and lingers in our minds with her incredibly racy Calvin Klein underwear and perfume advertisements. Eva Mendes has become one half of Hollywood's sexiest power couple as of late after she started dating Drive star Ryan Gosling.
Despite her A-List status today, Eva began her acting career in the late '90s by taking roles in campy B-list horror movies like Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror and Urban Legends: Final Cut. It wasn't until her starring role in Training Day, which flaunted her ass, boobs and bush in the background in one of the scenes, that people started to notice this curvaceous Cuban-American beauty.
Now, her fans can't get enough of fantasizing about her. She makes it easy, starring in roles that leave nothing to the imagination, like We Own the Night where her character has a masturbation scene with fellow star Joaquin Phoenix or her incredibly tight costume in The Spirit. Knowing that she is rampant with sex appeal, Eva has even joked about the persistency of fans attempting to find a sex tape or anything racy about her, and with the video group Funny or Die released her own comedic sex tape in the vein of Kim Kardashian's and Paris Hilton's. We're sure reading about her erotic roles has left you wanting more, so here are two of our favorite scenes from We Own the Night, as well as her sex tape.
We Own the Night Masturbation Scene with Joaquin Phoenix
There are a few scenes where Joaquin and Eva get hot and heavy in this American crime drama, but this one is definitely our favorite.
We Own the Night Foot Fetish Scene with Joaquin Phoenix
There's something so intimate about sharing a fetish with another person; we think that Eva and Joaquin brought forward the sexy side of the sometimes odd fetish of feet.
You can't blame us for wanting to see the real deal, but we commend Eva for being such a good sport and shooting this parody.

visiting a new city for the first time, you're bound to encounter at least a few trials and
tribulations along the way -- parking, navigation, finding a decent place to eat, etc.
Somewhat daunting, but I've always looked at it as more of an adventure
than anything. But if that new city already happens to be as trialed
and tribulated as Detroit? Well, there's a good chance that city may
chew you up and spit you out, snatching up your car, cell phone, and
hotel reservations in the process.

The situation in Cyprus has been a blunt reminder that the world is still working through debt problems which could lead to more global market wobbles.
While the island's economy is tiny, there are concerns the bailout deal could set a precedent.
European markets soared after the bailout agreement, then stumbled when Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the euro area group of finance ministers, suggested the Cyprus deal offered a template for resolving the debt crisis - and then quickly recanted.
Craigs Investment Partners' Mark Lister said the backtrack gave a worrying indication of the thinking behind the bailout and reeks of dysfunction.
"It is a stark reminder that while everything had gone quiet, that Europe is an absolute basket case. They haven't fixed the problems. It's a timely reminder we can't be too complacent."
While the bailout has done little to dent New Zealand's soaring sharemarket, if the same action was taken in Spain or Italy it could create havoc and put a major dent in confidence, Lister said.
"We are insulated as much as you can be. But if this goes sideways New Zealand would not be immune to the side-effects of hits on global confidence."
The Government will surely be watching the European situation closely, hoping nothing big blows up and unsettles investors before the SOE floats.
News vacuum
It looks like the 440,000 people who pre-registered to buy Mighty River Power shares will have a bit of a wait before they get any more information.
The Government is sticking to its timeline of mid-April for the investment statement to become available. The release date is expected to be announced on Tuesday, when the Cabinet meets.
The statement will be available online only once it goes to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) for approval in mid-April, but given that it's likely to be 100 pages-plus, it won't be easily digestible in a digital form.
The Government is hoping it will only take a week for the FMA's tick of approval, but legally the regulator has up to two weeks to go through the document before it can be printed and posted.
The proposed share bonus scheme is likely to be announced the same day the investment document becomes available, to prevent it being perceived as talking up the offer and breaching securities law.
Me next
Meridian Energy boss Mark Binns made his desire to be the next state-owned enterprise to list very clear at an investor day held by broker Craigs Investment Partners last Thursday.
Stock Takes hears Binns told attendees the company was "ready to go" and that it made sense for Meridian to go next because it is the biggest of the SOEs for partial sale.
One person who attended said people either really liked Binns' direct approach or felt he was being arrogant and were put off buying shares in the company under his management.
In January the Government valued Meridian at $6.58 billion, making the value of its partial float about $3.2 billion.
A second SOE float is expected in September or October.
Ryman rally
Retirement village operator Ryman Healthcare has rallied in recent days, shooting up 21c since Monday to close yesterday at an all time high of $5.01.
There hasn't been any news out of the company but several recent broker reports include strong valuations. Forsyth Barr's Jeremy Simpson has a "buy" recommendation on the stock with a target price of $5.55, while Stock Takes hears that First NZ also rates it a "buy", with a valuation of $5.85.
But not all are convinced: Morningstar's Nachi Moghe is reviewing his position and said he would value Ryman at $4.50 and retain a "reduce" recommendation.
Moghe said the valuation was based on 17 times future earnings before interest and tax - already higher than the historic average for Ryman. "It's a good company but at the end of the day something could go wrong."
Tower takeover
All eyes are on the shakeout from Fisher Funds' takeover of Tower's investment business. The $79 million deal is due to be settled on Tuesday.
Stock Takes this week heard chatter that Tower investment boss Sam Stubbs is on a three-month contract and will then depart.
But Carmel Fisher said that was not so, and no decisions have been made. "We haven't really made much more progress. We haven't had any access to staff yet."
One industry source said the expectation was that Tower's business would be converted to Fisher Funds' investment style, so some of Tower's equities team would be let go. Combined, the two teams would total about 21 people, making one of the largest investment teams in the country, if not the biggest.
Perhaps some Tower people will pop up at the NZ Superannuation Fund, which is looking for New Zealand equity analysts?
Super fund stalwart Tim Mitchell moved into managing the fund's new active equity strategy last month. A replacement for his previous role as GM corporate strategy has already been found and is to start after Easter.

City Hall demolished; work begins to build stadium for '14 Triple-A ballpark
EL PASO, Texas - The 10-story El Paso City Hall building has been demolished to make room for a Triple-A baseball stadium.
The 34-year-old building in the West Texas city's downtown collapsed Sunday morning during a controlled implosion.
The demolition is part of a downtown revitalization plan that includes building a $50 million ballpark for the Tucson Padres. The team is scheduled to relocate to El Paso.
The city hopes the baseball stadium will attract pedestrian traffic and businesses to the area.
MountainStar Sports Group, who in 2014 will bring a Triple-A Baseball team to El Paso for play in the new ballpark, released a statement about an hour before City Hall's demolition. The ballpark will be built on the site of where City Hall stood.
"We believe the new ballpark represents long-lasting, sustainable progress for our City.," the statement reads. "We appreciate the vision of our Mayor and City Council and thank them for their commitment to bring Triple-A Baseball to El Paso and to build this significant asset in the heart of our City - for all El Pasoans. We are dedicated to providing affordable family entertainment in a fun and safe environment. There is much work to be done between now and next spring, and we look forward to watching El Paso's new ballpark rise from this site and hosting Opening Day 2014."
Mayor John Cook watched the implosion on TV at home.
"It's turning a page in history that's for sure," Cook said of the demolition. With the baseball park and demolition of City Hall and new confguration of City Hall, it's time for people to move on."
On Saturday, the demolition of the massive chimneys of the former ASARCO copper and lead smelter site gave locals another historic spectacle.

You certainly can't go wrong with OEM accessories purchased from the manufacturer, but this is also the most expensive route to take. As far as accessories, places like CDNN Sports, Sportsmans Guide and Midway USA are very popular. Of course, the major sporting goods companies like Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, Dicks Sporting Goods (to name a few) can be good places to check out, but they will, in most cases, NOT be the cheapest, but probably a little better than buying from the manufacturer.
I am sure you will get many many more responses.
You will probably also want to check out some local gun dealers, especially if, I mean WHEN you plan on buying more guns. Also, if you buy guns online, they will have to be shipped to a dealer with an FFL (Federal Firearms License) so it pays to become friendly with the smaller shops in your area.
