We had a brilliant stay at Harlem Hideaway Garden Apartment, ideally located you are just 5 stops away from Time Square by tube allowing you to enjoy a more quite and relax environment than staying downtown.
Dennis is a great host and the flat is ideal for a family.
We would definitely recommend it.
This appartment is very cosy, comfortable and clean. It is fully equipped with all you need. We felt at home right away due to the nice place, the very friendly and helpful host and the friendly neighbors including the neigbor's cat. We also enjoyed the nice and quiet garden very much. Close by are nice restaurants, we liked especially Caffe Latte, Amy Ruth's and Harlem Shake.
Thank you very much Dennis for this wonderful experience in your Harlem Hideaway.
The apartment of Dennis is a wonderful haven of tranquility to discover NYC.
Just steps from Central Park, decorated with great care and well maintained the apartment is very, very pleasant.
Trade with Dennis have allowed us to discover NY with confidence and the stay was really wonderful.
For comfort, location and friendliness of Dennis I willingly give a rating of 10/10.
I'll return with great pleasure !
Truly a great spot. The people in this area are very (!) friendly, so is Dennis. Highly recommended.
Très bel appartement spacieux, dans une maison brownstone typique de différents quartiers de New York. Accueil très chaleureux et complet de Dennis.
L'appartement est meublé avec beaucoup de goût, nous avons eu un véritable coup de coeur pour la salle de bain années 50 en particulier, et le côté chaleureux que dégage l'appartement. L'équipement est parfait, avec tout ce qu'il faut pour laver et sécher le linge, et la même chose pour la vaisselle, sans compter les 2 clims.
Nous n'avons pas eu l'occasion de profiter de l'arrière terrasse très cosy, car même si ce logement est un véritable havre de paix après les journées harassantes en ville, nous étions pressés d'aller au lit. A propos, mention très bien pour la literie de grande qualité. Même le canapé-lit est confortable, et il reste suffisamment de place pour vivre confortablement sans tout replier, même si du coup le charme opère un petit peu moins (dans les 75 m2 en tout) ! Il y a largement ce qu'il faut pour le rangement aussi.
La situation est parfaite, en 15-20 mn on est à Time Square. Quand on rentre à 10 h du soir, en sortant de la bouche de métro à côté, il y a un supermarché très bien achalandé. On ne s'est jamais posé la question des horaires d'ouverture, car on l'a aussi trouvé ouvert tard un dimanche soir ! Aucun problème de sécurité non plus, les alentours sont sûrs.

We had a great time in NYC and our stay in Dennis' apartment has contributed to a high extent. Dennis is such a kind person! A candle was lighted when we arrived, we felt like being at home. Dennis introduced the apartment and the surrounding very well to us. He has a helpful collection of tipps from other visitors so you have the opportunity to get insider information. The apartment is well equiped and the surrounding in Harlem is safe. Subway is close by. What else do you need? Thank you so much, Dennis!
Dennis is the best host I ever had...His place is magic, I stayed there for almost five weeks and he gave me the feeling to be home...thank you so much again, Dennis!!
If ever you consider to stay in NY , this the perfect place.
We had 5 perfect days in New York. Staying in Dennis's stylish apartment was great. He is a very pleasant host and had extremly helpful tipps for us. The apartment is conviently located and we felt a bit like New Yorkers in this lovely Harlem neighbourhood.
The best apartment I have never seen. And Dennis is a great and caring host. I experienced Harlem for the first time and it is something special: the atmosphere, the people and the places around. What are you waiting for? Do not even think: book it if it is available!!!
Roberta (Italy).
Great Place! Great Host! Very close to Central Park and to the metro.
We had a very nice stay. The flat is just as it is on the pictures.

[quote user="JPizzack"]I also have a Molly, my Bull mastiff....we just found out that she has a degenerative bone disease, and shes limping much worse than she was before her shoulder surgery. It's heartbreaking. But you should see how happy she is all the time. I've been skyping with my stepmom and my father almost daily, just to see my dog....christ, im almost on the verge of tears right now jsut thinking about it.
It could have been much worse, because we thought it was bone cancer, and if youve ever seen what bone cancer does to the bones, it's the scariest ****ing thing i've ever seen. So I'm glad it's not that.

Didn't understand it either, but like I said I didn't understand ulf's cryptic posts on EPP.
I do think it's funny I've been asked to find a red to prove my innocence when none of us have. So the best I could do was pretty bluntly say I wouldn't vote for somebody because I know they're blue and that's going to get me offed.
For those wondering, and I doubt you are,
I'd go with Rylan for turning to me after my defense of a blue, obhave, based on my gut and how obvious I felt when I posted (although hindsight says I wasn't obvious enough).
Columbia's guilt seems to stem more from his usual play style which I cannot comment on, and I'd defer to those that know his persona better.
This is what we need that we haven't had all game. We need discussion on our thoughts and such. Most of the game has been just some thoughts and quick votes that has given us absolutely nothing.

|Rockin' Out at Rockefeller Center: An outdoor winter event showcases model-worthy Manhattanites.
|Written by Stephanie Finnegan
|Thursday, 06 December 2012 16:34
Available on December 6, "Ravena, Winter Chic" is an exclusive BJD from Ruby Red Galleria and DOLLS magazine. It can only be purchased through DOLLS.
I just learned about a new BJD debuting on December 6—it's a Ruby Red Galleria exclusive for DOLLS. The creation is so spot-on in its costuming and its attitude, I swear that one of the designers must have been tailing me last month.
When my friend Cam phoned me and invited me to the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, I should have said "no." Any sane person would have, but sanity and an evening with Cam rarely go hand-in-hand. Instead, I agreed, and we headed out to Midtown Manhattan on one of the most crowded, most frantic nights of the year.
As we attempted to approach the skating rink where the enormous evergreen will reign supreme, I looked at Cam and burst out laughing.
"Isn't this how 'The Day of the Locust' ends?" I shouted to him. (That film from the 1970s is among my and Cam's favorite flicks. It stars Karen Black and Donald Sutherland, and it concludes with a horrible, free-for-all deadly crowd stampede.)
"Don't be such a Grinch," he called back. "Or should I say 'Grinchette'!"
"I'm not sure there is a female Grinch," I replied. "I know there was a Smurfette, the only blue gal around. But a Grinchette? I have to check my Seuss."
And so this intellectual discourse continued as we fought our way through the jangling and jostling crowd—and, yes, the mass of people were LITERALLY jangling as they jostled. A huge number of them had on Santa hats with bells affixed or had bells attached to their lapels or collars. They were rude but they were rhythmic!
Since our trekking was so slow, and the other gawkers had gotten their much earlier to stake out their spots, Cam and I didn't so much watch the tree lighting as watch the other folks' reactions to all of the events.
A shrill shriek would emerge from the people way ahead of us.
"What is it?" I'd ask.
"Il Vole," Cam would reply, referencing the teenage opera singers.
A cheer would erupt.
"Who is that?" I questioned.
"Chris Mann, from 'The Voice.'" Another opera singer, who is marketed as a heartthrob.
Then just a smattering of applause.
"Mayor Bloomberg," we both declared.
Since we were merely hearing the audio playback of the concert, we gazed at all the young men and women surrounding us.
"I think there is more wool here on Sixth Avenue than in all the sheep farms in Scotland," Cam proclaimed.
Looking around, I had to agree.
Guys and girls were all decked out in the "official" apparel of the season: woolen flap hats, jauntily tied scarves, and boots. Girls had on legwarmers—"Hello, Flashdancers"—and fingerless gloves. ("What's the point of that?" Cam groused. "Are we supposed to WANT our fingernails to turn blue?") We had our very own Joan & Melissa Rivers Red Carpet fashion critique.
There's a certain hip look that New Yorkers achieve—even when they are multilayering, they still come across as thin, chic, and hip. When I add scarves and sweaters and hats to my wardrobe, I look bundled up and ready to explode: envision the Michelin Tire Man, but not as perky.
When these twenty-somethings put on the extra bits of fabric, they look like they are taking a break en masse from shooting the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. It really is quite amazing.
"I wish we could bottle their youth," Cam lamented, looking at all the rosy-cheeked kids, teens, and college students who were scrambling about.
"Yep," I agreed, "but can you imagine how much it would cost? And just how big would that bottle have to be! Better just to dream about it."
And, wouldn't you know it, just in time for Christmas . . . a doll that perfectly embodies that free-spirited New York City style has loped onto the scene.
The ball-jointed doll, which is a collaboration between DOLLS magazine and Ruby Red Galleria, is fittingly named "Ravena, Winter Chic." Limited to 100 pieces, she'll sell for 149.95. And, like all the other fashionable femmes who congregate in Manhattan, she weighs only 2 pounds, 6.9 ounces! The "Ravena" doll is bundled up and beautiful. Quite a feat, indeed!
Like her advertising copy says: A New York City native, the harsh NYC winters don't stop "Ravena, Winter Chic," a DOLLS dressed doll exclusive by Ruby Red Galleria, from exploring the city she loves. From uptown boutiques and coffee shops to downtown restaurants and theater, "Ravena, Winter Chic" bundles into her purple tights and faux-fur boots, corduroy short pants, pansy T-shirt, black motorcycle-style jacket and cozy knit hat to hit the streets in style. Even when the elements are unforgiving, "Ravena" survives and thrives in the city that never sleeps! The fully dressed 12-inch ball-jointed vinyl doll features removable wig and eyes, plus underwear and a sweet "love" tank top.
Ruby Red Galleria always has a way with its wardrobe, and "Ravena, Winter Chic" is no exception. I am sure Cam will be ordering one online. He's probably circled December 6 on his calendar. After all, if he was willing to chew "instant youth" vitamins or spray on "adolescent forever" cologne, can you imagine how happy he'll be to have a chic New Yorker to call his own?
"Exercising and eating well . . . who could be bothered," Cam knowingly observes. "I'd rather play my way to younger days."
And, yes, it can't be denied. Cam has the healthiest inner-child in town!

A watch party fundraiser is planned for Feb. 3 at 4:30 p.m. at Topeka's Capitol Plaza Hotel.More information
This Sunday was historic for the Washburn football program. Two former players, Cary Williams and Michael Wilhoite, advanced to the Super Bowl with their respective teams. They will face each other , Feb. 3 in New Orleans, La.
They are
the first two former Ichabods to play in the Super Bowl.
In Super Bowl XLVII, the Ichabods will have more former players than Notre Dame, Florida State, Louisiana State, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State and Texas A&M, which all have only one former player in the big game. Washburn will have the same number of former players as Georgia, Florida, Auburn and Alabama, which all have two players in the Super Bowl. Washburn also will become the first school in 11 seasons to have two players from the same non-Division I program, including FBS and FCS, play in the Super Bowl.
"We are obviously very proud of both players and what they have been able to accomplish and the way they both represent Washburn University," said Washburn football head coach Craig Schurig.
Williams, a six-year NFL veteran, is in his fourth season with
the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore defeated New England 28-13 on the road for its
Super Bowl berth. Williams had six tackles in the game, including the
game-ending interception in the endzone, picking off Tom Brady. So far this
season Williams has recorded 75 tackles, fourth among all Ravens, and six
interceptions, with two coming in the postseason.
"Cary is a tremendously talented player," Schurig said. "He's very determined and had a strong faith that he could make it to that level. … Coming from a NCAA Division II school you have to have to be really strong-willed because you're told a lot you can't do it and he's overcome a lot. He's overcome the adversity of being on a practice squad to playing on special teams to being a top-level starting cornerback in the NFL and we're very proud of what he's accomplished and the way he has gone about accomplishing it. His faith is one of the reasons why he is where he is."
Wilhoite is in his first season on the active roster for the 49ers after spending the 2011 season on the practice squad. The 49ers topped the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 on the road to reach the Super Bowl. Wilhoite, who was also a special teams captain for the 49ers in the NFC Championship game, had two special teams tackles to lead the team. This season Wilhoite has seven tackles, all on special teams.
"Michael is a lot like Cary," Schurig said. "He's had a lot of faith in his abilities and his drive to get to the NFL level coming from an undrafted free agent to a year trying to get in the NFL and then a year on the practice squad and has really developed into one of their leaders on special teams. He has such a tremendous work ethic and desire to get to that level."

Hi Allen -
It appears we both agree on this one point!
My next question: who is stepping forward in the scientific community doing
the "proper controlled observations and experiments"? People can continue
to denounce the significance of the cell size in regards to the effects on
the mites and point to the fact that there are "no" studies to prove it but
that says little, if no one will take existing information, written and
field (as in real live bees in hives that their caretakers have so often
asked to be inspected and tested for proof), and give us some hardcore
scientific studies!!
If this cell size debate is so off the wall, it should be a snap for our
researchers to gather enough evidence to say so in proper scientific papers.
It looks to me like the Lusby's have done just about everything they can do
on their end to be open to all about what is working for them. Now it should
be the bee science community to take it to the next level. All I hear is
silence. I'll continue to wait.

Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act and Program, FDA employees work to ensure that women can go anywhere in the country and expect to get reliable, high quality breast images. We certify and inspect mammography facilities establishing uniform standards for mammography equipment and staff training. Thanks to these efforts, there are over 8,600 certified mammography facilities in rural and urban communities across the country.
We didn't stop there. Early on, we realized that regulation was only part of what was needed. FDA recognized that it should also help raise awareness about the importance of mammography. Through the Pink Ribbon Sunday Program, we formed outreach partnerships to teach women the facts about mammography screening. When the Pink Ribbon Sunday Program began in the 1990s, we targeted African American and Latino women because they were least likely to get a mammogram. However, the program quickly spread from minority churches to businesses, sororities, health centers, and other national organizations reaching women from all backgrounds.
Over the years, FDA has touched millions of lives through our mammography initiatives. We have chosen today – National Mammography Day – to thank our colleagues at FDA and our partners in the health care community and state and local governments for their efforts. We also encourage you to help connect the women in your community to our free mammography resources. Your efforts can help raise awareness, provide hope, and maybe even save a life.
Marsha Henderson, M.C.R.P., is FDA's Assistant Commissioner for Women's Health in the Office of the Commissioner
Helen Barr, M.D., is FDA's Director of the Division of Mammography Quality Standards at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health

Gillard gets a Crean slate, and Labor has no Rudd on its hands... and various other puns
22 March 2013 , 11:40 AM by Elliott Dunn
Well, wasn't that an interesting day at work for our federal pollies.
Simon Crean called the spill, the PM set the time. Tony Abbott moved for a vote of no confidence. Fire and brimstone and death stares were exchanged across the top of those very official looking books that sit in the middle of the House of Representatives.
But in the end, it ended with a very non-bang-like whimper. Actually, that would be overstating it. It ended with a the kind of noise that you make when you need to sneeze but you really can't afford to make any sound at all, because you're in the middle of a ceremonial minute's silence.
Anyway - unless you overdosed on early Easter chocolate and slept through the whole thing - you already know what happened.
So, what does Canberra make of the latest shenanigans up on the Hill?

I spent a little time 'off' grid myself years ago. I respect your independence. Good luck with your Warré Hives.
Last edited by Zonker; 02-04-2012 at 06:58 AM. Reason: double post
I only have hand tools so I have to make boxes simple. I make the top bars by ripping 1 x material to width, then using a rasp to sharpen/shape the bottom. Then I just nail the bars into place. I like to think that the bees rough surface. Its really quick and easy (and most importantly really cheap)
"The box is sealed in linseed oil and beeswax mix." genius!!! That's perfect.
The boxes are fine. They've been sitting outside for a year completely bare (unpainted). They've come through a wind, rain, snow, and direct sun.
No problems whatsoever.
I just glued and screwed also. Seems to be holding up well. Since you don't inspect the hive often, there's not much stress on the joints.
I have never had a problem (and I do a lot of gluing). I think that acetone will chase your bees away. Cedar is really porous so you have to be careful to use enough glue. I normally apply glue to both pieces and let them sit for a bit
I've heard if you wet wood (dampen it not soak) before you glue the glue will not go in too deep and will make a better joint. I believe this came from Norm Abram (This Old House fame).
Dampening works with the gorilla glue, but you have to be careful. The gorilla glue expands and can push the joints apart if you use to much. Titebond Type II or Type III is what I use. They are both for exterior use and clean up with water.... and most importantly they're pretty cheap. The joint that is used in bee boxes is end grain to end grain which is the weakest possible joint for glue, so you really need a mechanical connection, i.e. dovetails or screws.
Any hive with non-removable frames is illegal in Indiana, and the bee inspector can burn it immediately. Gums are absolutely forbidden, as are skeps.
There isn't much point in a Warre hive if you have to make removable frames other than it would be easier to work since the frames are lighter (on the order of standard European hives, which typically are square rather than rectangular).
Nice hives for small spaces though.
I was of the same line of thought as you until I spoke to Mike Studer, TN State Apiairst. He told me that ALL TBH's, including Warre's were legal. The beekeeper just has to accept the fact that if they need to inspect, comb attachment will be cut. He said he usually lets the beekeeper do this for him, but he doesn't mind it at all. Check in your state. A top bar is a 1 sided frame.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Well, the point of a Warre hive is that you don't remove bars or frames, isn't it? Simple beekeeping, after all.
If you are going to have removable anything, I suggest making frames rather than just a bar, it makes life much easier, but then you just have a Langstroth hive of non-standard dimensions. Not having a bottom bar will lead the bees to make a solid sheet of comb, and hence quite a mess when you have to remove boxes or bars.
Probably a nit-picking thing, but lack of surrounding frames is far more a problem for the beekeeper than the bees. Certainly a smaller box is hardly a problem, it's all I can do to swing around a full deep these days, and I'm quite sure there are many people who would like to have a hive or two of bees for whom full sized Langs are just too much.
Its amazing how many things I do to produce food are illegal. Can't drink rain water. Can't plant fruit trees. Can't raise rabbits for food. Can't raise chickens for any reason. Can't raise tilapia except indoors. Can't use bee hives that I can build myself. I guess they'll feed me in prison, so I'll have food one way or another.
Virginia just got around to promulgating bee regulations and its specifies that hive must have removable frames.
Thanks everyone for the reassurance. I believe I have eastern white cedar. It seems to have bonded well. I did some test with sanding and without sanding and it didn't make any noticeable difference.
I'm sticking with the non-standard dimensions for a few reasons: I think the smaller dimensions allow the bees to fill the space better and control climate(I'm actually making them smaller than the warre standard), smaller natural comb is more managable and I'm interested in trying 2" cedar and the bee shops here only sell standard 10 frame pine hives.
You won't have food if you catch foul brood, but hopefully you'll be able to spot that. Besides how often does that really happen?so I'll have food one way or another.

Kathy Griffin
Kathy Griffin is best known for a stand-up comedy act in which she makes derisive fun of other celebrities' behavior. Born and raised in the Chicago area, she broke into the Los Angeles entertainment scene in the early 1990s by joining an improvisational troupe, the Groundlings, and landing occasional television parts. By the late 1990s she had gained notice with her solo act on the comedy-room circuit and a regular role as Brooke Shields' co-worker, Vicki Groener, on the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan (1996-2000). Griffin also appeared in two episodes (in 1996 and 1998) of the legendary NBC series Seinfeld as Sally Weaver, a comedian bent on ridiculing Jerry Seinfeld. Griffin's solo act remains popular in clubs, on college campuses and on cable TV, where her program on the Bravo channel, My Life on the D-List, has run since 2005. Its title refers to the low-grade celebrity status she embraces. She set off a controversy in 2007 by making a crude remark about Jesus while accepting a best-reality-series Emmy won by D-List; the comment was edited out of the awards broadcast.
She married Matt Moline, owner of a computer consulting company in 2001; they divorced in 2006. She was later linked romantically for a time with Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak… In 2003 she won $233,000 in prize money on the ABC-TV program, Celebrity Mole Hawaii… Her eclectic credits include roles as herself in the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction and as the voice of Alice in the 1999-2000 animated TV series Dilbert.

Application for Part 1 of New Hampshire's State Stabilization Funds Approved Today
June 22, 2009
Contact: Sandra Abrevaya
(202) 401-1576
U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced more than $134.5 million is now available for New Hampshire under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts. New Hampshire will be eligible to apply for another $66 million this fall. Today's funding is being made available per New Hampshire's successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available on April 1st.
"The $134.5 million New Hampshire will receive today is part of the single largest boost in education funding in recent history," said Duncan. "The President's leadership and support from Congress have made this historic investment possible. New Hampshire can now utilize these funds to save jobs and lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform."
To date, New Hampshire has received 42.6 million in education stimulus funds—representing a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants and Independent Living Grants. On April 1, New Hampshire received $15.5 million in Title I funding and $26 million in IDEA funding. This represents 50 percent of the Title I and IDEA funding New Hampshire is eligible for in total. On April 1, New Hampshire also received $962,000 in Vocational Rehab funds and more than $323,000 in Independent Living funds.
In order to receive today's funds, New Hampshire provided assurances that it will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.
New Hampshire is also required by the Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted, and how funds are used.

Music Review: G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer
G.O.O.D.'s first full-length group album, Cruel Summer, is ready to be played while you drive around town in expensive cars with your crew and will no doubt trickle down to your girlfriend's Zumba classes in the next few months or so.
It has been a cruel summer waiting for this album to come out, but holy crap, it's finally here! G.O.O.D.'s first full-length group album, Cruel Summer, is ready to be played while you drive around town in expensive cars with your boys and will no doubt trickle down to your girlfriend's Zumba classes in the next few months or so.
Five of the 12 songs on the album have already been released as singles, but unlike many other critics, it makes us feel like we're rolling tight with one of the biggest cliques in the world right now. We already know almost half the hooks on the album!
Tracks that have been previously released do jump out to listeners as the best, but "The Morning," which features 2 Chainz, Common, Cyhi the Prynce, D'banj, Kid Cudi, Pusha T and Raekwon, is a solid track proving that this crew is a force to be reckoned with once they put their excessiveness aside and work cohesively. Kid Cudi's "Creepers," despite its slightly confusing placement or purpose on the album, is a track worthy of a slot on Cruel Summer even if it's just for fans of the alt hip-hop artist.
Cruel Summer has had its difficulties (using this word lightly here), since the group includes some of the biggest names/egos in the music industry right now, and the odds were against them to make Cruel Summer an instant classic like Watch the Throne, which Kanye recorded with Jay-Z.
Despite this, Cruel Summer turned out to be a pretty decent album. It starts with a rap between Kanye and R. Kelly, for Christ's sake. We're not saying that it's Wu-Tang or Hit Squad material, but we're happy to see the return of a good old-fashioned hip-hop crew. We definitely see some great stuff happening in the minds of the G.O.O.D. music squad and anxiously await new material.
Oh, and the best Kanye line goes to the last track, "I Don't Like," where Kanye rhymes, "We hanging out the windows, about to make this a Suge night." That line is straight-up lyrical genius.
Listen to: "Clique," "I Don't Like," "Creepers"
Skip these: "The One," "Cold"

Apr 25, 2008 at 12:46 pm #1228594
I want to get my wife into tarp camping. I have done it solo but never with someone else. My gear at the moment is a solo tarp and bivy. I don't care what the weather is I never leave with one and not the other. I don't use ponchos and neither does she.
What is the best set up for bug-less tarp camping for two? Not considering winter camping, just three season.
Should I try for a tarp and two man bivy? Or is a floorless tarptent the best way? Have I just answered my own question? Any advice for how to make it easier on her?

For bugless camping we always use a silnylon two-person tarp (Ray-Way design), large polycryo groundsheet, and a two-person quilt (Ray-Way design or similar). Never had a problem, although by luck we haven't had much rain.
It may not be the absolute lightest setup, but since I made the tarp and quilt it was affordable. And with two to share the load a few extra ounces makes no difference whatsoever.Apr 25, 2008 at 3:16 pm #1430207

The interesting question is whether tarps and goundsheets and bivy bags for two people weigh less than a decent two-man tent with insect netting. Think carefully about this, and focus on function (and your wife's comfort) rather than ideology.Apr 25, 2008 at 4:23 pm #1430212
Ross BleakneyBPL Member
@rossbleakneyLocale: Cascades
The big advantage of a tarp tent is that it provides both insect and rain protection. If you are sure that you don't need bug protection, then in theory, a two person bivy along with a tarp would save you some weight. That being said, I don't think you can find a combination of tarp and bivy(s) that will beat the Refuge X (which weighs about 16 oz.). For example, the MLD Grace Duo Spectralite .60 weighs about 8 oz. That only leaves you another 8 oz. for the bivies. The BPL two person bivy weighs 10 oz. I don't think there is a huge difference though, so I things like comfort and cost may be a bigger issue than weight.Apr 25, 2008 at 4:49 pm #1430215
Roger, I get what your saying. Shortly after writing the original post I ran across the Montbell Cresent 2 weighing 2 lbs 9 oz. It is a tent! I might be better investing in that rather than trying to sell her on a whole new way of camping.
I looked at the refuge x. That is a crazy weight for two! Who has used that thing? Further more who has used the Cresent 2?
I will be using this gear in Colorado.
But I do so love to tarp camp…Apr 25, 2008 at 5:50 pm #1430219

@rossbleakneyLocale: Cascades
I looked at the refuge x. That is a crazy weight for two! Who has used that thing?
Only Ron Moak at this point. I ordered one and it is supposed to ship in early May. I think the main concern is that is may be a bit cozy for two (I actually got it as a one-man tent). Of course, the Montbell tent has a pretty small floor area as well.
In general though, if you really like to use a tarp, then I would encourage you to do so. You can probably rent another bivy and maybe a bigger tarp as well (if your existing tarp isn't big enough). Who knows, she may really like that too.
If you go the tent route, then I definitely recommend a tarp tent. You have almost all the advantages of a regular tent, without nearly as much weight. You sometimes have to handle condensation or wind properly, but that is (in my opinion) a small price to pay. My wife came from a standard tent background and is not nearly the gram counter that I am, but would not want to go back to a double walled tent (that exists as of this writing).Apr 25, 2008 at 6:29 pm #1430223

@maynard76Locale: New England
I think that a tent/tarptent makes more sense for 2 people. The weight advantage is largly negated.
Plus the other advantages of a bivy/tarp like a small footprint are also negated.
But the feeling of openess you get under a tarp, like when you just have to open one eye and you can see the wilderness around you is hard to give up!Apr 25, 2008 at 6:32 pm #1430224

One of I'm sure many alternatives in a two person tent is the BD Lighthouse. At just slightly over three pounds and costing under $400.00 this may be a good option to look into. The Lighthouse is free standing, offers good head room and floor size and the epic canopy fabric has a fairly good performance record. The vestibule is not included but is available as an option, but this adds to both the cost and the weight.
If your set on a tarp then either a gg spinntwin or MLD Grace Duo used with a double bivy would work very nice.Apr 25, 2008 at 7:58 pm #1430236

Several years of marriage tells me it doesn't matter what YOU want to get your wife into. What does SHE want?
If you go the tarp camping route I would be looking for something like this bug shelter in a two person model, with an 8'x10' or 10'x12' tarp for weather protection.
If you decide a tarp setup isn't the thing (my wife wants privacy, not a view) then you've got a lot of tent's and tarp tents to choose from. Go light for your sake, but not at the cost of too small for hers. A small tent may seem cozy at first, but when it's all stuffy or you are brushing against condensating walls, you might think different.Apr 25, 2008 at 8:02 pm #1430237

If you two want ultralight and unbelievable luxury, try the Tarptent Rainshadow 2 — it is truly big enough for 3 people (I went on a 9 day hike with 2 other hikers and we slept in it for 9 days — my only beef was that one of the other two hikers snores like mad), so last year only two of used it and it was like living in a Taj Mahal — we kept our gear (minus smelly stuff which was in a bear cannister 150 feet away) inside the tent too, down the middle aisle. Only 2.5 pounds, but the roominess is so fantastic, so fantastic.Apr 25, 2008 at 9:55 pm #1430250

Ditto on the Rainshadow II. We had 5 playing cards in it with room to spare during a rain shower. Mine weighs about 3 lbs. The other thing I like is it vents very well.Apr 26, 2008 at 12:43 am #1430262

I've used the Refuge- the silnylon version. It is comfy for two. Not huge, definitely livable for 2 and more interior space to sit up than a Tarptent Squall 2. My wife and I love the Refuge. I'm really impressed with this tent. However, if you want a bigger tent, the Lunar Duo is an option too.
You should read our review of the Montbell Hex- it's the same as the Crescent 2 except it's a double wall (as far as I understand after studying the two of them). That tent was pretty small for two people.
I agree with everyone that a tarp tent is best. Check out Gossamer Gear, Tarptent, and Six Moon Designs for your best options. Mountain Laurel Designs has some interesting choices too….Apr 26, 2008 at 5:11 am #1430272
I realize that its what she needs and not what I like. I do. I am not trying to force her into anything.
It has a lot to do with our 5 lbs two man tent. Then theres the views I have enjoyed and the warmth and easily managed condensation of a tarp/bivy combo. I had a Squall 2 but camping with it on the east coast, I could never get it to stay dry, even a little! It was always soaked and had to be aired out by morning. Since I am moving to Colorado I would think condensation would be more of a problem. Am I wrong?Apr 26, 2008 at 6:37 am #1430276

My wife also likes privacy more than veiws. Plus she was VERY intolerant of spider bites, and after we saw a few snakes during the day, she didn't want to sleep under a tarp at night any more. She finds bivy's too claustrophobic, and an 8×10 tarp + 2 bivies were heavier than tarp tents and some double wall tents.
Regarding condensation; we mostly camp in northern VA and I agree it's almost impossible to keep dry in a single wall tent in our 95% windless humidity unless it gives you room to move around without brushing the walls when sleeping, dressing, etc. I think the Rainshadow or Lunar Duo would probably be enough room – especially with a little gear between the sleeper and the wall.
ps: I've only been to Colorado a few times, but on those trips they didn't have the high humidity we have in VA – and they had more wind, so I'd guess that condensation would be much less of a problem even though the night time temperatures are lower.Apr 26, 2008 at 8:58 pm #1430345
Well, I may have to buy another tarptent then…

after reading the 'unique forum rules', i have reconsidered and would like to continue to be part of this forum.
i have made my approach known, but i can respect the purpose of this forum and abide by those rules.
i especially liked sol's invitation to "Feel free to ask any and all serious questions and engage in spirited discussion and learning".
so here goes.
i would like to present a hypothetical situation, and solicit responses from those of you who practice treatment free beekeeping regarding what you would do.
the hypothetical is this:
you are a beekeeper with 10 hives, have a neighbor a half mile away who is a beekeeper with 6 hives, and you have had feral bees in your vicinity for many years.
upon inspection, you find what looks like afb. you send a sample for analysis, and it comes back positive.
what would you do?

Army Cap - Boater
Inspired by military attire, the army cap shape has became popular fashion trend in recent years. With stars like Eminem regularly seen rocking the style, it's no wonder the look has taken off in recent years. The army cap provides a nice break from the traditional baseball cap that is a bit less casual and a little more fashionable. We offer a great selection of army caps from some of the finest headwear brands like Kangol and Bailey of Hollywood.
Generally considered a warm weather style, boaters are a classic flat crown hat -usually straw- with a flat, stiff brim. Popular in the early 20th century, boaters are making a comeback with added modern elements and creative patterns. Also traditionally known as a basher, a skimmer, or a barbershop quartet hat, boaters evoke images of sharp-dressed formal men like the Great Gatsby and Buster Keaton.
There are no products matching the selection.

Gasconade County man accused of assaulting woman he met on Craiglist
VIENNA, Mo. - A Gasconade County man is behind bars, accused of sodomizing a woman he met on Craigslist.
Brandon L. Campbell, 37, of Bland, Mo., is charged with first-degree felony sodomy and false imprisonment.
Sheriff Chris Heitman says Campbell and the female victim met on the classifieds website and decided to meet for sex. Both the victim and Campbell had agreed that money would be exchanged for the sex.
The victim told authorities that when she entered Campbell's residence, the door was locked behind her and he forced her to perform oral sex on him.
Police say Campbell also threatened to have a gun and claimed he was a law enforcement officer. The Maries County Sheriff's Office confirmed he is not an officer.
Campbell remains in the Maries County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Free Games I Like: Virtua School
Posted on 11th Dec 2010 at 12:24 by Joe Martin with 5 comments
Virtua School is a text-based game which casts you as a kid starting his first day of school, forced to deal with the usual array of problems – girls, bullies, exams and extra-curricular activities. Using multiple choice options you weave your way through these scenarios, with a single playthrough lasting around ten minutes.
What I like most about Virtua School though is the random events which are woven into each game to help make things a bit different. The changes range from big things, like bomb scares or after-school parties, to smaller alterations, like characters changing their opinions or reactions. Popular girl Liz might like you one day and hate you another.

Act I Summary
Act I, prologue
Fiddler on the Roof opens outside dairyman Tevye's house in the village of Anatevka, Russia, in 1905. Tevye addresses the audience, telling them that tradition keeps balance in their lives. Everyone has a role in village life, both Jews, such as matchmakers and rabbis, and non-Jews, such as the Russian officials. As long as people stay in their place and do not bother each other, Tevye says everything will be all right.
Act I, scene 1
In the kitchen of Tevye's house, his wife Golde and his daughters prepare for the Sabbath. Yente the village matchmaker comes to visit. She tells Golde that she has a husband for the eldest daughter, Tzeitel: Lazar Wolf, the butcher. Lazar is an older man, a widower. Golde is unsure about the match because Tevye wants his daughter to marry a learned man. Still, Golde agrees to arrange a meeting between her husband and Lazar.
Not knowing the details of their mother's conversation, Tzeitel's sisters tease her about Yente finding her a husband. It is implied that Tzietel is only interested in Motel, a young, impoverished tailor. Hodel, the next oldest, is interested in the Rabbi's son. The sister's sing the song ''Matchmaker, Matchmaker,'' in which they hope to find the perfect man.
Act I, scene 2
Tevye arrives home just in time for Sabbath, the beginning of the Jewish holy day. His horse threw a shoe, and he had to make deliveries by foot. Tevye talks directly to God, saying that he wishes he was wealthy so he could better support his family. He sings the song ''If I Were a Rich Man.''
The villagers come to Tevye's house, demanding their dairy orders. One has a newspaper which says the Jews were all evicted from a nearby village. The men worry. A newcomer to the village, a young man named Perchik, tells them that they should know more about the outside world. After filling the villagers' orders, Tevye invites Perchik to stay with them for Sabbath dinner. Perchik will teach Tevye's daughters in exchange for the hospitality.
Act I, scene 3
Tevye and Perchik enter the house. The daughters greet their father enthusiastically. Motel arrives, and Golde invites him to stay for supper as well. While the daughters and guests wash up for the meal, Golde tells Tevye that Lazar Wolf wants to meet with him. Golde does not tell him why, and Tevye is convinced Lazar wants his new milk cow.
Tzeitel tells Motel that Yente had visited earlier. Tzeitel worries that a match has been made for her, but Motel assures her that he will be able to buy a sewing machine and impress her father enough to earn her hand in marriage. Tzeitel wants Motel to ask her father for permission immediately, but Motel is afraid. Still, Motel agrees to talk to him. Motel tries to...

Act II Summary
Act II, prologue
Tevye talks to heaven. It is two months later and Motel and Tzeitel are happily married, but Motel still does not have his sewing machine. Tevye asks God to send his new son-in-law a sewing machine.
Act II, scene 1
Outside of Tevye's house, Hodel and Perchik enter. Hodel is upset because Perchik is leaving for Kiev in the hopes of changing the Russian policies that resulted in the raid during Tzeitel's wedding reception. Perchik asks her to marry him and she agrees. Tevye comes in, and Perchik tells him what has been decided. Tevye says he will not give his permission. Hodel and Perchik explain that they are not asking for his permission, only his blessing. Tevye is upset but gives both his blessing and permission. He tells Golde of his decision, and she is angry at Tevye for not asking her feelings on the subject. They make up at the end of the scene, pledging their love to each other in the song ''Do You Love Me?''
Act II, scene 2
In the village, Yente tells Tzeitel that she has seen Chava with Fyedka. She gives Tzeitel a letter for Hodel from Perchik. He has been arrested in Kiev. The village becomes alight with gossip about the subject. Yente blames the uproar on men and women dancing together.
Act II, scene 3
Outside of the railroad station, Hodel and Tevye wait for a train. Hodel is going to join Perchik in...

The program provides funds for all kinds of recreational trail uses, such as pedestrian uses (hiking, running, wheelchair use), bicycling, in-line skating, equestrian use, cross-country skiing, off-road motorcycling, all-terrain vehicle riding, four-wheel driving.
Administered by the State Highway Administration (SHA), this program matches federal funds with local funds or in-kind contributions to implement trail projects. Projects can be sponsored by a county or municipal government, a private non-profit agency, a community group or an individual (non-governmental agencies must secure an appropriate government agency as a co-sponsor).
Federal funds administered by the State Highway Administration are available for up to 80% of the project cost, matched by at least 20% funding from the project sponsor. Matching funds must be committed and documented in the local jurisdiction's budget. A Memorandum of Understanding outlining funding and project implementation responsibilities will be prepared by SHA and signed by all parties before the project funds are released.
Activities eligible for funding within this program include:
Projects must meet state and federal environmental regulatory requirements (NEPA, MEPA, Section 106, Section 4(f)). SHA will provide assistance to the project sponsor to acquire these approvals.
Potential project sponsors must submit an application, which is screened then forwarded to the Recreational Trails Advisory Committee for review. The recommendation of the Technical Committee and the proposal are forwarded to the Director of the Office of Environmental Design for approval, partial approval or rejection. The project sponsor must receive written notification from SHA before the project can proceed.

A Hamilton teenager is dead and his 14-year-old mate was in Waikato Hospital with critical injuries last night because of a series of poor decisions, say police.
Rocky Hepi of Hamilton died shortly after he fled from police and lost control of a car, colliding head-on with a rock wall.
The 17-year-old, who had stolen the car a few hours earlier and was on a learner's licence, was thrown from the car as it ricocheted off the wall and came to a halt in the middle of Baverstock Rd, on the outskirts of Hamilton West, early yesterday.
His 14-year-old mate, who police said was "partially restrained" in the front passenger seat, suffered critical leg injuries and a 15-year-old girl, who was in the rear and wearing a seatbelt, walked away from the crash.
The Herald spoke to Rocky's mother, who asked for privacy as she was yet to receive her son's body and prepare for his funeral.
Others who visited the scene to lay flowers or quietly shed tears gave differing accounts about Rocky, who was known to police.
A female relative said he was a good boy who came from a good family, many of whom found out about the tragedy via Facebook.
But a teenager who claimed to be Rocky's cousin said he was "a bit of a troublemaker".
Waikato district commander Win van der Velde said an officer spotted the youth driving with no headlights in Rotokauri Rd and activated his lights and siren at 1.48am.
He called the police northern communications centre but gave up his pursuit about 15 seconds later when the teenager increased his speed and began driving erratically.
The officer drove over a hill a short distance later and saw the crash.
People living close to the scene heard the car skidding, the sound of the vehicle mounting the kerb and grass and then a "sickening" crash.
One man, who asked not to be named, said the collision caused his entire house to shake.
"There was just this really low roar and you knew whoever was driving that car was fanging it and then I heard the wheels screech briefly before this 'boom!"'
Mr van der Velde said the incident reflected "a series of poor decisions" by the driver and left behind a number of victims including his family, friends, the car's owner and the police officer, who was traumatised.
"He was looking to simply do a stop of a vehicle with no headlights on but he has ended up nursing and effectively watching the young man die - and that takes a bit to deal with."
District road policing manager Inspector Marcus Lynam said that while investigations by police, the Independent Police Complaints Authority and the coroner were in their early stages, he was confident the appropriate procedures in managing the fleeing driver were followed.

Located on the shores of the Mediterranean it enjoys, a warm and sunny climate almost year round and a fascinating cultural life few other cities can boast. Add to this, the beach which is only a short distance from the city centre, the hectic nightlife and the magnificent art nouveau buildings and it seems Barcelona has everything you could ask for. At Friendly Rentals we have your accommodation needs covered with our wide range of apartments in Barcelona: comfortable studios for business trips, apartments for a romantic weekend, larger apartments suited to families and even apartments offering sea views. If you are looking for an alternative to a luxury hotel, we have centrally located apartments (Plaza Catalunya, Las Ramblas, Plaza Espanya) and apartments in the nicer areas of Barcelona, at a much more affordable prices with the added benefit of more space and privacy.Our holiday apartments in Barcelona allow you to discover the city from a different perspective, see the day to day life of local residents, uncover hidden corners of the city and enjoy the city's numerous festivals, like St Jordi, when the streets are filled with stalls selling books and roses or the Mercé, Barcelona's big street party.Eating Out in BarcelonaCatalan cuisine is based on the famous Mediterranean diet: fish, fresh vegetables, meat, olive oil and pulses…It is a very rich and varied cuisine with touches of French influence and it is not unusual to mix meat and seafood in the same dish.Typical Catalan dishes include "fricando" (a beef and mushroom stew), "esqueixada" (cod, endive, olives and romesco sauce), snails, "escalivada" (roasted aubergine and peppers), cannelloni and seafood casserole. Not forgetting to mention the extremely popular "pa amb tomaquet"( bread with tomato, olive oil and salt) accompanied with cheese and cold cuts. For a sweet finish to any meal try "crema catalana" or "mel i mato" (fresh cheese with honey).Monuments in BarcelonaBarcelona is known the world over for the original and stunning designs of Antoni Gaudí including the famous Sagrada Familia. But this isn't the only emblematic sight in Barcelona. You have to include the majestic Park Güell, originally designed as a luxury housing estate; the Palau de la Musica, La Pedrera, the Hospital de la Santa Creu y Sant Pau and Casa Batllo. All of which are included in the Route of Modernisme. The historic past of Barcelona is also on display with Roman and Medieval ruins which can be found simply wandering around the Gothic Quarter and includes building such as the Barcelona Cathedral , Picasso Museum and City Hall. Football lovers can't miss the opportunity to visit the home of Barcelona FC, Camp Nou.Shopping in Barcelona If you love shopping then you simply must visit the main shopping areas of Portal del Angel, Paseo de Gracia and Calle Pelayo here you can find a range of stores catering to all tastes and expenses. Don't forget to visit the La Boqueira and Santa Caterina markets, located in the centre of the city.Finally, don't forget to visit the Las Arenas shopping centre housed in a remodelled bull ring next to Plaza Espanya. Visit the roof top terrace for impressive 360º views of Barcelona and Montjuic Mountain. Barcelona with ChildrenThe children will have a great time in Barcelona with the amount of activities on offer. Stroll through Citudella Park and visit the Zoo or spot the mammoth hidden in the park, spend the day on the beach, visit the Aquarium and see sharks and fish slowly glide by. Another idea is to visit the Tibidabo fun park, enjoy unforgettable views of Barcelona from 512m above sea level.Barcelona NightlifeBarcelona's nightlife is vibrant, exciting and seemingly everlasting. Outside seating abounds, the perfect place to enjoy a quiet beer or gin and tonic before heading off to discover the city's clubs such as Apolo or Razzamatazz both of which attract an indie crowd. If you are looking for more mainstream then around Vila Olímpica you can find Opium and Shoko. If these don't appeal try the cabaret El Molino, a classic of the Barcelona nightlife scene.Why Rent with Friendly Rentals?Friendly Rentals has years of experience in the holiday rental sector and counts on the support of an excellent customer support team. Our apartments in Barcelona come fully equipped with everything you need to make you feel at home. We inspect our apartments regularly to ensure they continue to meet ours and your exacting standards.
