Warm weather a big hit in the Tri-Cities
It's a hot topic of conversation, we're talking about this amazing weather Sunday and chances are you had a hard time resisting the great outdoors.
We traveled across the Tri-Cities catching up with people working and playing in the sun.
Fixing a jet-ski may not sound like too much fun when the sun is shining. But it's part of Josh Folkner's job description at Boone Lake Marina. Although there are some perks, "We get to take it out, see how it does, and just enjoy the lake for a little bit."
But he wasn't the only one working Sunday, road crews were taking full advantage of a sunny day and working tirelessly on Highway 36 in Washington County, Tennessee.
At Lowe's in Bristol, Tennessee spring fever was in full force with shoppers picking up tools for outdoor projects. "Getting some mulch, rocks, and stepping stones to fix up around the house on a pretty day like today," said shopper Jimmy Salyer.
At Winged Deer Park people weren't exactly kicking back. "When you like soccer, it doesn't matter how the weather is," said soccer coach Rony Soto.
But this picture perfect weather is a big hit with his soccer team from Morristown, "It's not wet, so they play much better than when it's raining. It's safer, it's dry."
Over at Steele Creek Park it was packed with families, like the Kistners, spending quality time in the sun. "Go on the swing, maybe some slides. Just get some fresh air and get out of the house," said Aley Kistner with her 11-month-old son Owen.
We checked with our Storm Track 5 Weather Team and learned 59-degrees is the normal temperature for this time of year in the Tri-Cities, Sunday's high was 70-degrees. Which is more than 10-degrees above normal for most places in the Tri-Cities.

This group was established by Michael Downs, shortly before his death, as an effort to honor Steven Hollander as teacher and friend of IPFW students. The society provides grants of up to $250 to academically deserving students faced with financial emergencies that would significantly but temporarily disrupt their studies. Members of the society are faculty, staff, and retirees who have donated to the fund. Brown Ink was selected for the name since Mr. Hollander was known for using brown ink rather than blue, black, or red in his editorial comments on papers and documents.

I was 5 days in London with my boyfriend and it was the first time that I booked a room by this website. Especially that's why I was surprised that everything went to well. We got a description of the way to the flat via email. So it was very easy to get to. It takes about half an hour to the center of London. The train which goes either to London bridge or Victoria leaves every 15 min from the station which is about 10 min by walk.
The room was very small, but we were anyway out over the entire day. It was very clean and Bunmi was super kind. Thank you for the pleasant stay!
Nice and clean apartment that as per shown in the picture. Bunmi as the host being super helpful. Around 10 min walk to the nearest train station, less than 8 min to the nearest bus stop, fully recommended...
The stay was lovely, the room was very clean and the host was wonderful and very accommodating, I will recommend this room to anyone. I stayed for just under a month working in the city, the commute was easy to the city and during the weekend I enjoyed exploring the different parts of Croydon. I also had the option to have breakfast which Bunmi provides for her guests, and she also cleans the rooms once a week in the weekends. On the whole I would say I had a good time and I would recommend the room to anyone else.
This place was very fine. Bunmi was very kind with me and my baby. She's always here for help and the house is very clean. Thank you for the staying.
Nice apartment,and Bunmi gives you all information when you arrive.She is really nice and welcoming. Really easy to get around since train station is just ten minutes away from her place(with walk).It was really clean and we recommend this appartment too everyone.
Ewelina and Daniel
Nice area, very clean house, excellent host, infact everything about the place is perfect.
I stayed one week with Bunmi and I enjoyed it very much. She was really nice, hospitable and helpful and the apartment was super clean,as well. I felt very comfortable and I would come back any time!
It's a very lovely place beautiful calm and quiet
not so far from the center only 25 minutes I have passed a good time but too short
The room is very nice for the price you paid
Bunmi was very pleasant with me she talked to me for know what i am doing in my life
I recommended this place
Very confortable room and flat; thank you for your welcome Bunmi, it was a pleasant stay !!
See you soon
We have stayed five nights in her flats.We have arrived at 2 am and she woke up for us and get us inside.So we appricate for the welcoming.The house is very clean ,also the room is very nice and clean.The bed and pillows are comfortable. Parking is just in front of the home.We felt that we were in our house.She is also very nice and polite.Always ready to help.We haven't use the transport so we can not comment for this.But the south croydon station is just 5 min away.
Thanks one more time for the hosting.

My skater isn't top ranked and is moving up to Novice this year, so applying for any scholarships from USFS won't fly. How do you save/budget money for yourself or your kids? I need a list of all the creative ways out there that people have shaved dollars and cents from their training and competition budgets. Any and all ideas gratefully welcome and considered. Thank you!

It was just two years ago that hopes were sky high.
The Swashbucklers were under new management and there was fresh energy in the franchise.
There were high hopes for the future.
Not even two full seasons later, all seems lost.
On Thursday, when the Swashbucklers closed their doors, the promises of what was to come became what might have been.
How it slipped away is for debate.
Lake Charles is a market that has lost teams before, so this is nothing new.
The city has lost a hockey team, pro baseball teams, more than a few basketball teams and now an indoor football team.
But the Bucs had a nine-year run so this is a bit of a surprise, especially when it comes to the timing.
There were, however, more than a few signs of trouble.
While sponsorship was strong, there was a lack of fan support this season. A bad schedule from the league didn't help either.
Also, the club lost its first three games, all at home, putting a wet blanket on early excitement.
Then there was the lack of marketing. Word never really got out about when the team was playing at home and when it was not. This proved to be perhaps the biggest stumbling block of all.
"We have to look at everything to see what happened," said Swashbucklers president Chris Meaux. "Clearly, we made our share of mistakes.
"Maybe it was how we promoted the team, or maybe we just misread the market. It is hard to say right now. One thing is for sure, we never got the word out about our product enough."
It has left this group of owners scratching their heads for most of the two seasons they were running the show.
"I can't tell you for sure if it was one thing or another," Meaux said. "We tried to put a great product on the field and we just never did get the public to respond the way we needed.
"We tried, we just never were able to make the connection."
In the end, the Bucs' ownership tried to treat the team like it was more professional, and that might have been their mistake.
They figured if they put a winning team on the field, then everything else would work out.
Instead, the success of the franchise wasn't about the record, it was about something else.
Thom Hager, who ran the club before Meaux and his partners, maybe had it right. He put on a show and the fans seemed to follow.
Sure, it was part carnival, but it seemed to work. Many, including myself, took shots at what Hager's Bucs were, which at times resembled a sideshow. Still, Hager had it right.
Sometimes you do need the monkey with a tin cup out in front to draw a crowd.
Hager took no joy in the Bucs' demise.
"It is sad," Hager said. "These guys tried. Chris really tried. He wanted so much to make it work.
"One thing you have to do is get the word out, get people to take a look at your product. We did that in a lot of different ways."
Hager admitted to giving away tickets which in the end may have devalued the product itself.
"I have always liked the promotional, marketing side of things, especially in Lake Charles," Hager said. "For me that was the fun of it."
It also appears to be the missing piece to the current's Swashbucklers program. They seemed to be more about football than self promotion.
"I do think we maybe could have done some more in the marketing and promotions, that is one thing I will take a long look at," Meaux said.
With an economic boom expected to hit the area, Meaux and his group where hoping be a big part of that.
"We were committed to the area," he said. "It just didn't work out."

CHARGING FOR THE FJORDS: Norway is the land of fjords, so car ferries are a pretty handy thing. To cross the Sognefjord between the villages of Lavik and Oppedal you'll soon be able to take an electrically powered car ferry that will carry 120 cars and 360 passengers. And it will take only 10 minutes at each end to charge up the batteries. One problem though is that the local grid can't handle the sudden power draw, so batteries have been installed at each port to recharge the ferry. They in turn are slowly recharged from the local grid during the crossing. Way to go, Norway!
DAZZLING WHITE: Bicycle safety: bright lights, reflective strips — the same themes come up over and over again. But a powder coating from Halo really lights up the safety prospects. Josh's pale grey bike has LED lights and various other safety features, but at night it really shines — literally — because of its retro-reflective coating.
The whole frame lights up bright white when light hits it. It works because a retroreflector sends light back in the direction of its source so it can be seen at a much greater distance in low light conditions. The coating can be applied to plastic, metal and rubber at low cost. So long as it doesn't dazzle the driver behind the bike.
PLACE TAB A BESIDE TAB B: And you thought a Tab was part of your web browser… The PaperTab is a paper tablet computer that holds a single app or function. It looks and feels like a sheet of paper but it's fully interactive with a flexible, high-resolution 10.7" plastic display. For example, one PaperTab may show a photo while another shows a reply to an email. Tap the corner of the photo onto the email to attach the photo to the email. Put the PaperTab in an Out tray or bend the top corner of the display to send the email. Or place two PaperTabs together to create a larger display. This is a very different way of thinking and working.
BRING THE MOUNTAIN: The Americans are considering having a team of astronauts study an asteroid. But rather than sending the team deep into space to study the rock, they're thinking of bringing the rock to the astronauts. Or, more precisely, putting the asteroid known as 1999 AO10 in orbit round the Moon and having the team visit it there. A slow moving robot spacecraft would head over to the rock, study it, then capture it in a net and tow it back to the moon. Well, if you can't go to the mountain then bringing the mountain to you is a good second choice.
NEW CHIP, SHERLOCK: DNA from a crime scene can help track down offenders, if there's a match in DNA databases. But if there's no match detectives are no better off. The Identitas v1 Forensic Chip can produce much more refined results, suggesting gender, eye and hair colour, and even ancestry from a small sample of DNA, such as that found on a cigarette butt. The chip provides data on all the traits simultaneously, unlike current methods that can suggest two at most. The chip contains hundreds of thousands of short sequences of DNA, each of which can indicate a single trait when matched through binding. Tests found the chip up to 99% accurate in predicting gender, but only 63% accurate at predicting blond hair. What, no height and weight?

So, the visual aspects of SMART technology products are very important for reaching our students with different learning styles."
Technology helps effective managers become executive leaders
"What's exciting about the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is that it is not obtrusive, it's not something you have to work around. It truly supports the conversation for which this room is designed."

"…the use of the SMART Notebook SE software bracelets has been really successful. The children are getting a real buzz from developing the skills they see their teachers using, and are really enjoying it."
An engaging experience
"Children are fascinated by technology, but you have to make sure that the resources you create for them are genuinely interesting so that they want to become engaged with them. It's essential to get as many activities as you can where the students are coming up to the board and using it themselves."
Increased pupil involvement, higher level of general culture starting at an early age, more in-class activities, multi-disciplinary use of the solution.
"These tools remove the board and class apprehension that inhibits children and keep some of them from moving forward, Tactile technologies change the impact of mistakes. Youcan make a mistake and then erase everything and start over again. SMART solutions let kids "forget" previous mistakes and concentrate on their successes."
Teachers use new interactive system to connect with students
"With Senteo teachers have a new and interesting learning tool to helpdevelop tests, surveys, games, lessons and presentations."
Learning to share with SMART Sync
"We're trying to encourage them to be creative learners and thinkers, and the more effective use of interactive technology in teaching particularly helps the kids for whom English isn't their first language as it enables them to show their skills - and not their barriers."
Students, parents and teachers are embracing a more dynamic, interactive, modern and vibrant school that has interactive, engaging digital content and solutions.
"The change experienced by the installation of SMART Board interactive whiteboards has been enormously positive for all the participants in the educational community."
Improving learning outcomes with SMART Response
"SMART Response encourages reflective learning amongst pupils which is key to their learning development."
ESOL's schools have an active, forward-thinking environment that leads to focused, engaged and motivated students. As teachers gained the skills to effectively use these tools in their classroom activities, student engagement was enhanced and student scores increased.
"Interactive content increases the engagement levels of students during classroom activities. Teachers are able to record classes and make them available for students who missed the class or who need them for additional review. Teachers have access to plenty of resources on the SMART Exchange website."
Using SMART Sync to personalise the learning experience
"The question and answer feature of SynchronEyes adds a perfect end to any lesson. Questions can be sent out to the children to ensure they have all understood the learning objective or to survey the class' opinion on a particular issue that has been investigated."
Spreading the word
"SMART Board™ interactive whiteboards have been the most important thing in my teaching over the last four or five years, and the opportunities have expanded exponentially because of the digital revolution…"
The Senteo™ interactive response system - Just a craze or an effective learning resource?
"I teach business studies to sixth form students using the Senteo system. When we come to a difficult learning objective such as financial concepts, I introduce the topic in a visual way and then ask short, snappy questions in Senteo to generate thoughts, ideas and interest. Out of a 75 minute lesson, I spend the first ten minutes using Senteo just to get them involved. Ultimately Senteo allows us to have fun! The children's comments on Senteo range from 'cool', to 'great fun'. It's certainly something that's different."
Students have created their self-learning materials and teachers have found the mechanism to encourage students to learn in a dynamic and collaborative way.
"We are educating children that are different to those of a few years ago. They are digital natives for whom technology is an everyday tool. For them an interactive whiteboard is an ordinary element of the classroom that improves their motivation and interest"
The technology allows teachers to think outside the box with lesson planning and make learning fun – crucial for children with special needs.
"They are easier to use than the others we have, and the software is very straightforward - especially Notebook™."
Teachers can now better engage and maintaining attention in all subjects, simple online checks with encyclopedias, easy use of quick tests and quizzes to check the progress, and science becomes easier to understand thanks to visual aids including interactive and multimedia materials.
"The SMART Board is helpful for both the visual and tactile learner. It also allows for better planning which always influences students in the classroom positively"
Students are more active during the lessons and they cope with the activities easier than with traditional teaching methods. Moreover, they learn abstract concepts easily.
"It is an inclusion tool for when the student leaves the Stable Classroom and enters the regular classroom, because having already used the SMART Board in the S.T.A.B.L.E. Classroom he or she is able to participate and will not get left behind."
Interactive whiteboards as therapy tools
"If you have one [autistic] child at an interactive whiteboard, another will come up and touch the board and something else will happen, helping them to interact."
The SMART Board proved to be effective across all subjects, but especially with difficult topics such as human anatomy which is supported by 3D pictures and other interactive acitivities. Assessment became easier for teachers: they can check student comprehension immediately using SMART Response. Teachers can adjust the teaching on the fly and be assured that every student in the classroom understands the lesson.
"We always provide teachers with the most modern and comfortable environment to make their work creative and effective"
English teachers noted that students became more involved and enthusiastic about foreign language lessons. SMART education solutions offered the means to learn English and cultural elements in an enjoyable and very efficient way using interactive activities and lessons. SMART Board interactive whiteboards keeps students attention and develops memory skills.
"Students like to work on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard! They love to use a board that can be operated simply by touch. They may even ask to be quizzed, simply for the fun of writing on the board. It brings true excitement to the classroom"
SMART products have changed the way teachers teach, giving them more opportunities to involve students, increase student motivation and further student understanding.

I can say, SMART Boards integration in the teaching learning process was the smart step ever made by UAS. SMART Notebook is a full resource a teacher may use to explain, interpreter and deliver a lesson to students.

With the recent worldwide geek-out concerning the upcoming Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game, you may have overlooked the release of another notable title for True Believers. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth puts gamers in the roles of their favorite comic book crime fighters, and, while it originally launched as an Xbox 360 exclusive, it made its jump to the Wii U over the holiday season.
Recently producer Pierre Leroux and art director Dan Vargas of Ubisoft Quebec took some time to talk about the latter iteration of the project and the excitement of developing for a new console. Oh, and Skrulls. And also poutine.
GeekDad: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth arrived late last October as a Kinect-powered fighter on the Xbox 360. How does the Wii U version differ?
Vargas: The biggest difference is really the controller. Nintendo brought something entirely new and innovative to the gaming world with the Wii U Gamepad. Therefore the Wii U version does not necessarily require body motion control to play as the GamePad offers different features for us to explore. You'll be able to perform actions wielding the Nunchucks or playing with your hands directly on the GamePad touch-screen. Continue Reading "Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth Q&A" »

NGOs, acting as intermediates between politics, economy and citizens are growing out of their role a plain content providers. To service the demands of their stakeholders they have to act also as data and tool provider for their respective communities. The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) is such a NGO. And it takes the challenge in building up a data and tools portal for performance issues of the European buildings stock.
Gain Semantic Web Company's expertise in NGO data and service portals (e.g. Reegle, GBPN etc.) BPIE established the "BPIE data hub", that is the first open data portal of its kind for statistical data and policy information on Europe's building stock. Through its powerful search tool, policy makers, the research community and all other stakeholders interested in the energy performance of European buildings can access detailed data about the building performance of a specific county, search specific parameters and generate speaking graphic visualizations on the fly.
Together with data coming from external linked sources, full country profiles can be as well provided, as cross-country comparisons. Charts, visualizations and the raw data are free for download or embedding into third party websites. As a central knowledge hub, the BPIE data hub comes also with a glossary which may be used further to annotate related content within the domain. The linked data architecture of the hub, ensures, that the BPIE data hub is open for future improvements and broader collaboration efforts within the sector. As a very next step BPIE want to encourage other relevant organizations to contribute their data and to join BPIE data hub with their input.
So the BPIE data hub is a brilliant example how modern communication strategies of NGOs could look like, and how Linked Data Technologies can play a crucial role within.
The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) is a European not-for-profit think-do-tank, delivering policy analysis, advice and implementation support. Its focus lays on knowledge creation and dissemination in the field of energy performance in buildings. The Brussels-based institute, in operation since February 2010, is the European partner of the Global Buildings Performance Network.

Possible Changes To Concealed Carry Law
Firearms Instructors Concerned Over Proposal
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A proposed bill that would allow law-abiding Colorado gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without a concealed carry permit.
Many, including firearms instructors, say it would be dangerous and would shoot down important gun training requirements. It's estimated that 90 percent of the people who have firearms know very little about how to handle them safely and instructors say education is the only safe way for people to understand concealed weapons laws.
The state's current law prohibits carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a weapon on school, college or university grounds with certain exceptions.

Question for experienced honey producers... I'm in NY so we have long winters to bear in mind.
I've been reading a lot and was curious about the technique of raising 2 hives through the season, and then pinching a queen and combining for the honey flow. In theory they can build up twice as fast, and be twice as strong going in to winter. I read that it's for places with no real spring flow, and that it gets you 2x as many bees for the fall flow.
My basic question is, do you get more surplus honey from 2 single deep hives, or from 1 double deep hive? Is this only appropriate for a small area of the country that has no spring flow?
My assumption is that in a double deep hive, there are much more bees than brood, so there would be more foraging and less feeding larvae - more surplus.
To me it seems like a waste of time/equipment. If my goal is 16 hives, and I run 32 single deeps.. I might as well just build some more boxes and run 32 full hives. More bees, more honey (and more trouble).

Cirrus Logic Tumbles On iPad Amplifier Loss
Cirrus Logic ( CRUS) is down 13% in late afternoon trading as it appears that Apple (AAPL) has trimmed the number of components it will use from the firm for its iPad Air model.
In a note out today Barclays' analyst Blayne Curtis reiterated his Underweight rating on the stock, writing that he had identified four Maxim MAX98304 Class D Amplifiers in the iPad Air, meaning that Cirrus's products are no longer being used for the tablet's amplifier socket. It still uses Cirrus's audio CODEC.
The stock was falling earlier today on the rumors, as the company depends on Apple for about 80% of sales.
Curtis writes that the news is a "clear negative" for Cirrus: "While the CODEC is likely still secure given the high level of custom content, there has always been a potential for displacement of CRUS' amplifiers as these chips are largely a commodity. The iPad Air is admittedly only a portion of total iPad sales, but we believe CRUS likely lost the socket in the retina mini as well, and this also points to the potential loss of the amplifier sockets in future iPads (potential launch in spring) and the IP6 (fall '14). Assuming just the iPad air and the retina mini, we estimate a loss of roughly $30-40M in annual revenue next year (~5% of revenue; assumes $1 ASP for 2 amps). Furthermore, we believe there is potential for AAPL's entire product line to move away from CRUS amps over the coming year, which would imply a total revenue drop of $150M+ annually (20%+ of rev; assumes $0.50 ASP in iPhones and $1 ASP in iPads)."
While he left his $16 price target untouched, Curtis did trim revenue and EPS estimates through calendar year 2015. See details of his initial October downgrade of the stock here.

There was just a report on the news about a guy in detroit fed up with a crimnal paiting grafetti and breaking windoews and a abandon building next to a guys buisness. He couldn't getthe police to respond so he took a shot atthe guy with a crossbow. He missed, but he was so casual about it on the news, then mentions "I feared he had a gun" the reporter just kinda smirked like he knew.
I personally think this is the way to deter crime. The people need to stand up for the block and make the criminals afraid.

I was just out checking around the hives and luckily happened along on a fair size swarm sitting on the ground. They had landed on some branches and my guess is, the swarm got too heavy for the branch and it bent to the ground. Anyways, I got the swarm into another box but, wasn't sure what to do next. I have read they should be moved or, when the foragers get back with a new location...they could take off there so, since I was able to box the majority, I simply locked them in the box with screened bottom board for lots of ventilation. I also left another nuc size box to collect the foragers coming back with honey & frames.
Can I leave them in the same location? Should I leave them in the box for 48 - 72 hrs, I thought I read that somewhere?
Anyways, any suggestions you guys have as always...is great

Pan-Seared Salmon Burgers
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
Burgers often get a bad name. No matter the origin - hipster burger joints in NYC passing themselves off as gourmet, family-run diners, or various nameless franchises - they are either enormous and dry, or sloppily served in a squashed soggy bun smelling of grease and something sour. Sure, you feel full afterwards, but like a hastily arranged paramouristic encounter with a faceless stranger in a dark and empty parking lot, one emerges feeling dirty and weighed down with inevitable regret.
Enter the salmon burger:
It is leaner, lighter, and healthier as it contains essential nutrients (omega-3 and vitamin D). In this recipe we use an egg white to bind it together and no bread or starch. With lemon juice, scallion, and a hint of garlic, it is both delicious and deliciously simple to make.
We often prefer slider-sized burgers as they seem somehow more manageable (the long lens makes them look deceivingly larger in the photographs). Or maybe I just never got past the child-like trait of preferring smaller things because they are more fun. Or maybe it's to compensate for the fact that burgers used to be much smaller than they are today. In any event, in this recipe we used whole wheat potato rolls to go with the salmon patties which were topped with an avocado spread, jalapeño slices, campari tomatoes, and onion. (We use shallot slices, since they are more appropriately sized for sliders, and their gentle flavor complements the salmon.)
Salmon Burgers with Avocado Spread
(Makes 4 burger patties or 8 slider patties)
You will need:
1 lb skinless salmon fillet
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
white of 1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground white pepper
a pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tsp lemon juice, divided
2 tbsp canola oil for frying
1 avocado
1. Rinse the salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into large pieces and place in a food processor: pulse until salmon is coarsely ground for a chunky consistency. Place in a bowl, add scallion, garlic, dill, egg white, salt, white and cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
2. Heat canola oil in a large pan on medium heat. Form the salmon mixture into four flattened patties about 1/4 inch thick (or 8 smaller patties if making sliders) and place in the pan. Cook until done and the patties are a pinkish gold, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Make the avocado spread: mash the avocado with a fork in a small bowl, add the remaining 1 tsp lemon juice and mix well. To make the burgers, serve salmon patties on a whole wheat roll, topped with the avocado spread and your choice of toppings (such as baby arugula and thinly sliced tomato, jalapeño and onion).

Anthony Peregrine celebrates the centenary of the Negresco, a Riviera hotel with four centuries of French culture at its heart.
My favourite hotel in France? No idea. There are too many contenders. But the most memorable hotel in France? No contest. It's the Negresco in Nice, an establishment sashaying through celebrations of its centenary as the summum of Cote d'Azur style - at once cultivated, frisky, magnificent and a little disdainful.
In 100 years, no one has ever missed it on the Promenade des Anglais. The facade rises white and imperious to the pink roof, and the pink dome was allegedly inspired by the breast of the architect's mistress. (But they say that about almost every dome in France. This tells you more about the French than it does about domes.)
The Negresco has long proved irresistible to the great, rich and notorious. James Brown apparently spent a night chasing his wife around the hotel in a fit of jealousy. Actors Romy Schneider and Alain Delon pursued their tumultuous love affair here. The visitors' book lists everyone you've ever heard of from everywhere in the world. These people come because it's Nice, and the sweep of the Bay of Angels spangles just outside. But they also show up because the Negresco's own story is as remarkable as any they might feature in.
The blokes on the door set the tone, carrying off with dignity what may be the daftest hotel livery anywhere (blue frock-coats, red knee breeches, top hats with a turn-up). Inside, and as with any luxury hotel, one enters a domain where the inconveniences of life - such as having to do anything at all for oneself - drop away. But the Negresco goes further. With art at its heart, it has a mission to uplift, a rare thing in the hospitality trade. The hotel enfolds you into 400 years of French culture. Across six floors, the bedrooms, corridors and public areas are sumptuous with treasures from Louis XIII's reign through to Niki de Saint Phalle's bulbous beauties.
This is the realm of Jeanne Augier, red-haired grande dame, outspoken animal lover and the last private owner of a Riviera palace. At 89, she is almost as old as her hotel but remains the driving force. It was she who determined that the Negresco should constitute a landscape of French creativity - and she who brought it about.
Its founder, early last century, was Henri Negresco, who had made enough cash as restaurant director to the French elite to create his own establishment in Nice. He hired the architect Edouard-Jean Niermans, who, as creator of the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergere, knew a thing or two about big, frothy buildings. The Negresco opened first in 1912 and then, after a financial hiatus, again in January 1913 (thus its centenary spreads over two years). After the Second World War, it was living on past repute when Augier, her father, and her lawyer husband, Paul, bought it. Knowing little of hotels, Madame Augier ignored the '50s rule book (browns, greens, bordeaux reds) and brought in the brightest colours, silk wall hangings, period furniture, art - and artists. Picasso and Dali were regulars.
Chagall was a friend - "Though I didn't understand his art," she has said. "He made donkeys fly." Of Cocteau she said: "At dinner with him, I always resented the arrival of dessert because that meant the meal was almost over, and he was such a brilliant talker."
On one of my visits to the Negresco, my wife stumbled in a crowded lobby and almost felled the wife of the prime minister of China. On another, I was in the richly textured bar with Augier. She was telling me about being invited by the Shah to establish a hotel in Iran, and by Khrushchev ("he sat just over there") to sort out Intourist, the Soviet tourist agency. A woman swathed in furs approached. Augier chatted to her with charm.
"Who was that?" I asked. "A Russian countess," she said. "No idea which one. It goes in one ear and out the other."
Having batted off many purchase attempts in recent years from the likes of the Sultan of Brunei and, allegedly, Bill Gates ("You're not rich enough," she purportedly replied), Augier has established an endowment fund to ensure the Negresco's onward independence. Beneficiaries include humanitarian causes, initiatives promoting French art - and animal charities. This caused a stir a couple of years ago. "She's leaving the hotel to dogs and cats!" shouted more excitable websites. "Not really," says Pierre Couette, the hotel's full-time cultural consultant. "Animal charities come third."
Given that Augier has created and, since her husband's death in 1995, single-handedly steered one of the most distinctive hotels in the world, one might also argue that she can do what she damned well likes with her property. It has no swimming pool or, thank heavens, spa: the private beach is right opposite. It has a double Michelin-starred restaurant, a fairground-themed brasserie and a bar where the Red Army Choir once gave a private concert as a treat for Paul Augier. It has welcomed the Queen, Clint Eastwood, Ava Gardner and King Ibn Saud, who gave Augier the watch she still wears. "Jim Kerr of Simple Minds was giving interviews in there last week," the sales manager, Helene Seropian, said as we passed before the Salon Versailles.
Most of all, it is a paean of praise to deep-rooted French elegance, with its vital underscore of finely worked subversiveness. My only doubts concern the Yvaral carpets in the upstairs corridors.

I am Titleist certified Level 1, and this is a very useful course to further your understanding of the evaluation process, and corrective exercises. The course is produced by a top notch company who WILL SUPPORT you. The owner of the company actually assisted me at 6:00 PM on a Saturday evening.
I now have a greater appreciation for the mechanisms behind a proper golf swing. I have two clients who would love to improve their swing and game. It was well written and followed a straightforward format.
"I gained all the knowledge I need to know to properly help a golfing client improve his or her golf swing from the GMP Fitness Golf Conditioning Specialist course. I will apply by utilizing the outline of the process of the course material and apply it accordingly to my individual clients (initial assessment to golf ready!) What a great course!...I learned in detail, how to golf swing is performed, what muscles are used in the process, and how to apply this knowledge to each individual client considering their initial assessment. Very organized, in-depth and easy to fallow!" - Chris Manning
This course will provide you with a better understanding of the flexibility and stabilization necessary to improve the golf swing. In addition, you can use the information in this course to support clients who are long-time golfers so they can continue to play the game.
Easy to follow, easy to pass, easy to implement with clients!
Excellent program, highly recommend to increase knowledge and offers specific exercises for improving clients postural imbalances. The course provides information to improve an individual"s golf game by breaking the process down and applying specific exercises to improve by stretching or strengthening the muscle while maintaining good posture and balance.
The course provided information on assessment of postural dysfunctions, balance, flexibility, strength and endurance that can be applied to any client.
Lots of good exercises from simple to complex using the ball. Exercises that will be helpful for diverse client needs.
Extremely informative course. The written course materials had content validity and were nicely presented. The two DVDs were perfect supplements to the written materials. Plenty of resource material for the golf specialist.
The postural assessments and appropriate stretches and strengthening were very useful. I have already implemented with several of my non-golfing clients and I am looking forward to using it for my own golf game along with other golfing clients.
The course provided me with a good understanding of the relationship between strength/flexibility and the golf swing. It will help me teach clients and friends about the relationship of strength/flexibility to the golf swing and I will definitely incorporate it into my own golf game.
One of the best CECs I have taken. Nice addition to current certification to work with specialty clients. I found the information extremely helpful in working with golfers to improve sports performance & prevent/rehab golf related injuries. Highly recommend this course.
This course gave me good, specific information on a very popular sport. It will definitely enhance my practice.
This is a very good course. Lots of great information and knowledge to use with those that are looking to train clients interested in golf or are interested in improving their own golf game. I highly recommend you looking into buying this course if you or clients you know love to play golf.
This course was very helpful. I work in a retirement community and many of our residents love to golf and wish to improve their game, as they have noted age-related declines in their games over time. This course enables me to understand the physical requirements of the game better so I may provide improved assessments and appropriate exercises. I was impressed by the comprehensive nature of the exam required for this course.
A very well thought out course. Great exercises not only for golfers but anybody looking to improve their wellbeing.
I'm an ACE certified Personal Trainer and I'm looking to expand into the golf fitness training field. The information in the book was clear, concise and easy to follow, but still very informative and useful. The DVDs were also great additions. There is a great selection of exercises and stretches specifically for the sport. I already know a good amount about golf, but there was still plenty of information that I needed. Gina was great to work with! She was able to help me out with my time constraints and made the ordering and completion process stress-free. I would definitely recommend this course. I look forward to getting more CECs from GMP fitness!
Good course. It flowed well and was easy to follow.
As a health and wellness professional for more than 30 years, I was very pleased with the Golf Conditioning Specialist Course offered by GMP Fitness. The information was relevant and well-organized. The manual and two dvd provided would be suitable for novice and veteran alike. I appreciate the care and energy that was put into the development of this program.

Easy to follow, relevant information. A must for anyone looking to diversify. Certificate was received promptly on completion and I know I can email for any assistance.
What a great course. Gina is very knowledgable and i would say this was an excellent course and every golfer or trainer should take this course.
Very informative and well-organized. Course included detailed information regarding common golf injuries, on-course wellness tips including pre, mid and late-round stretches, nutrition/hydration, skin, eye and foot care to name a few. I also found the Marketing tips at the end to be quite useful. Well-rounded course!
Great exercise plans, and accompanying DVDs were great additions. I will be incorporating many of the assessment techniques and exercises into a group golf fitness class, as well as individual client sessions.
The golf conditioning specialist course was not only informative but also helped myself and my personal train clients to improve their flexibility at the same time as their game. What a great set of skills to have - thank you GMP!!

Hi, All ! Last year I put new queen bee into a hive and too fast to release her. The worker bees not belonging to this queen killed her one
week later. This year I made a hive split with one queenless hive from the same queen where they came from.
My question is after one week, do the queenless hive still recognize their own queen if I put her back into their hive?
I am worry that they might not recognize her and killing her again.

shock absorber 630 Blackline Honda CBR 500 R
- Description
Wilbers Suspension Strut Type 630
Improved responsiveness and large reserves for good road adhesion resulting in great grip and comfort - for clearly improved road position.. It is surprising what is possible with these suspension struts - even with supposed good original supension elements.
- the basic version of the Wilbers Adjust Line shock absorber includes the same technology as the more sophisticated versions and there is no need to compromise on responsiveness and durability
- the differences are in the setting options for compression adjustment and that there is no external equalising reservoir
- the right system for normal street use
- 630 with 36 mm piston diameter
- radial pistons, guidance for wet running and self-aligning bearings with PTFE guides define the standard for this basic suspension strut
- of course, the preload is infinitely adjustable and an extremely wide range of rebound settings are available using an open bleed mechanism with 22 clicks of adjustment
- Blueline comes with a blue spring and a red setting ring, Black Line comes with a black spring and a silver setting ring
- for models with two suspension struts as TS version (twin shock) a pair of stereo suspension struts - view article denomination
- version +625 (view article denomination) = including hydraulic suspension pre-load with hand wheel for a quick and easy handling when changing crew/load often
- version +629 (view article denomination) = including manual height adjustment on the suspension strut fixing
- for homogenous road-handling it is recommended to use the suspension struts together with the Wilbers fork springs
- Wilbers supension struts are usually no stock goods, they are built on demand and have therefore a certain delivery time
Approval: With ABE type approval - the delivered ABE booklet has to be carried along.
Does not require registration, but can be entered in your vehicle documentation for convenience reasons!
In case of a binding order in one of our stores, there are the following individualization options:
- Adjustment to your personal needs (free of charge) – if indicating driver's and passenger's weight (including equipment), preferred intended use (mostly solo, often in twos, with luggage, race circuit, country road etc.) and way of driving, the suspension struts are suitably constructed and adjusted. There's indeed a difference if a 60 kg person mostly drives alone or with the permissible total weight – spring rate and absorption are correspondingly chosen.
- Highering or lowering (without extra charge) is possible, if technically realizable.If it's not in standardly offered dimensions, the suspension struts are only delivered with an approval.
- The same is valid for hydraulic suspension pre-load and highering. Both is possible for most of the suspension struts, if they are not to find here (with extra charge).
Due to logistic reasons such individual constructions can not be delivered, the supension strut has to be ordered bindingly and picked up at the store.
Price per piece (only TS versions for 2 pieces).

When you've been slamming crystal meth and it feels like you put your testicals in a vice grip and wrenched it as tight as you can, (without bursting the sac) then getting a blow torch setting fire to the nearly bursted sac. Hit the sac with the blow torch till its glowing on fire then have your buddy take a baseball bat and swing as hard as he can until you nuts are a hot pile of mush. Once you accomplish this feat I recommend taking your buddy to a strip club and find the stripper with the boniest ass and buy a lap dance for him! Got to love Meth Balls

This morning, I want to share an overarching purpose worthy of this room that has come together to follow the teachings of Jesus: Let us work together to end extreme poverty in our lifetime. Because this is now achievable, but only if all of us—from science, business, government, and faith—come together for the poor.
We can end extreme poverty for the 1.1 billion people who live on a dollar-and-a- quarter a day.
I am delighted to be back at my alma mater to launch, on behalf of USAID, this important undertaking, the Women, Peace and Security Project that aims to increase women's participation in peacebuilding, peace negotiation and peace advocacy in conflict-affected areas in Mindanao.
As we all know, women play a significant role in keeping the peace in our societies. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed out that , "a growing body of evidence shows that women offer unique contributions to making and keeping the peace-- and that those contributions lead to better outcomes not just for women but for entire societies."
It's a pleasure for me to be back here in Rome with this particular team who, together, moved quickly and effectively to respond to the Sahel's last crisis in 2012 that affected some 18 million people—and helped to ensure that a grim situation did not take an even greater toll. Now millions of people still facing food insecurity across the region, with UN estimates of 1.2 million severely insecure and 1.5 million at risk of severe malnutrition despite good harvests in 2012 and 2013, we're reminded of the ever chronic nature of crisis in the Sahel.
With high rates of child malnutrition under even the best of circumstances, one poor harvest can push millions into severe risk. And we know that when shocks hit—droughts, floods, locusts—it is inevitably the most vulnerable populations that are the hardest hit, often without the chance to recover before new shocks strike.
Over 40 percent of Syria's population is now in need of humanitarian assistance. The scale of this challenge is unprecedented. In three years, we have seen a brutal civil war has created not only a humanitarian crisis, but has taken a country of engineers and artists; entrepreneurs and doctors; teachers and scientists; and destroyed more than three decades of capital stock in that country. The UN estimates that Syria has lost 35 years of development in just two and a half years of conflict.
Ten months ago, I visited your town and was impressed by the diligence of the Warays. Today, I have seen your most profound trait -- your unbreakable spirit. The scale of destruction of Super Typhoon Yolanda that struck on November 8 and ravaged Eastern Visayas is beyond comprehension. Following disasters such as these, the provision of basic education services is of great importance. Education helps normalize the lives of children, and helps communities stabilize. Education allows children, teachers, and parents to again hope for the future and look forward to a better tomorrow. Education can also mitigate the effects of catastrophes in the future by inculcating disaster preparedness in children and parents alike.
Over the last two years, the United States' Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has worked to develop a new regional family planning strategy for our cooperation in West Africa. This process involved extensive consultations whereby we learned from government partners, development experts, and community organizations about West Africans' goals for family planning as well as the challenges they face in bringing about this change.
USAID also took into account experiences from its past projects. We analyzed the latest data on family planning and demographics in the region as well as the many inputs it received. In the end, the final strategy is grounded in three pillars of support: 1) provision of family planning services; 2) improving commodity security to prevent stock-outs; and 3) improving the use evidence for family planning policies to expand the reach of services.
Au cours des deux dernières années, le Gouvernement américain, à travers l'Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID), a travaillé à l'élaboration d'une nouvelle stratégie régionale de planification familiale pour notre coopération en Afrique de l'ouest. Ce processus a impliqué des consultations approfondies dans lesquelles nous avons beaucoup appris de nos partenaires gouvernementaux, des experts en développement, et des organisations communautaires, concernant les objectifs de l'Afrique de l'Ouest pour la planification familiale ainsi que les défis auxquels ces pays sont confrontés.
L'USAID a aussi pris en compte les leçons de ses projets antérieurs. Nous avons également analysé les données les plus récentes sur la planification familiale et la démographie de la région ainsi que de nombreuses contributions reçues. En fin de compte, la stratégie est fondée sur trois piliers: 1) la prestation des services de planification familiale ; 2) l'amélioration de la sécurité des produits pour éviter les ruptures de stock, et 3) l'amélioration de l'utilisation des données et résultats scientifiques dans l'élaboration des politiques afin d'étendre la portée des services de planification familiale.
It is my distinct honor to join you this evening to witness the City Government of Valenzuela pave the way in bringing about good governance and improved public service with the digitization of the city government's financial transactions. This important initiative will not only make transacting with government easier but it will also significantly contribute to the Philippine Government's campaign to fight corruption, foster transparency and increase financial inclusion.
I am happy to join you this morning on behalf of the U.S. Embassy Manila's United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to formally launch our new partnership through the $60 million Credit Facility.
In the Philippines, about 99% of all firms are micro, small, and medium enterprises. Supporting the country's SMEs is crucial to igniting and sustaining inclusive economic growth in the Philippines. SMEs contribute to the generation of wealth, business opportunities and employment in rural and urban areas. This vital economic sector also contributes to a dynamic supply of ideas, skills and innovation needed to propel the country's development.
Climate change is a global issue that knows no national boundaries and a challenge that can best be addressed internally. The negative impact felt by the people living in communities like Quất Lâm is shared in communities in the U.S. That's why environment was highlighted as an important issue in the Comprehensive Partnership that was announced last year between President Sang and President Obama. The tangible effects of climate change are one of the reasons that we are so committed to cooperating with the Government of Vietnam to address this important area.

LAKE COUNTY -- A Napa man died Sunday afternoon after crashing his motorcycle on Butts Canyon Road.
Joseph P. Kane Jr., 33, was riding his 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle at an unknown speed north of the Lake-Napa county line at 2:25 p.m. when he failed to negotiate a left-hand curve, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The motorcycle went off the road and down an embankment. Kane was thrown from the bike, according to the CHP.
Paramedics pronounced Kane dead at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.

Having a shop winterize your bike can cost over $200. But if you can change the oil in your car, you can easily winterize your own bike and save most of the cost. Just pick up the items we show here and gather up your tools. The winterizing process takes less than two hours and starts at the nearest gas station.
Fuel stabilizer works best with fresh fuel, so add it to the tank right at the station. That'll give the stabilized fuel a chance to run through the carburetor on the way home. Make sure the stabilizer itself is fresh—it's only good for two years once the bottle's opened.
Combustion gases collect in your oil and form acid. You don't want that acid sitting in your crankcase all winter eating away at bearings and other expensive parts. So even if you've recently changed it, you need to change it again for winter storage. Yes, it's that important.
Bikes have low clearance and car drain pans won't fit. So get a low-profile plastic food storage container (no, not from the kitchen) and use that as a drain pan. Spin on a new filter and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.
Some shops think this step is overkill, but it can't hurt. Fogging prevents corrosion by covering internal engine parts with a light coat of oil. There's no downside to it. Just make sure you do this step outdoors—it creates a lot of smoke. If your bike needs new spark plugs, install them before you fog the engine. Start fogging by removing the air filter (the fogging oil will clog the filter material). Then start the bike. Spray the fogging oil directly into the air intake as you increase the idle speed to 2,000 rpm. Stop spraying when the engine quits.
Even though you've added stabilizer to the gas, you still have to drain the carburetor. Turn off the main gas valve from the tank. Then look for the petcock or drain screw on the bottom of the bowl. Place a folded rag under the bowl and open the petcock. You won't see a flood of gas—a carburetor bowl only holds about 2 ozs. Close the valve when the gas stops flowing. Spread the rag out to dry (not in direct sunlight) before tossing it into the trash.
On shaft-driven bikes, remove the drain plug and let the gear lube drain out. Then replace the plug, level the bike and refill with fresh lube. Use a bendable funnel and pour slowly until you see oil seeping out of the opening. Then cap the funnel end with a rag (to catch the rest of the oil in the funnel) and replace the filler plug.
Mufflers and air cleaners are "homes of choice" for critters. Keep them out by stuffing a sandwich bag with steel wool and then pushing the bag into the air intake and tailpipes. The bag keeps steel wool strands out of the engine. Use bright-colored caution tape as a reminder to remove it in the spring.
You should already be doing this several times during the biking season. But it's especially important to spray chain lube onto the chain and into all pivot points (brake and clutch levers, kickstand, fold-up foot pegs, etc.) before storing your bike for the winter. That'll keep rust from forming on the parts during the winter.
A battery maintainer won't damage your battery like a trickle charger. They have smart monitoring circuitry that charges the battery only when it needs it. So connect one to your battery and it will be fully charged and ready to fire up in the spring.
This is one step most people skip. Don't. Dip the suction tube of the coolant tester into the radiator or coolant reservoir and suck up enough to make the indicator (or balls) float. Then read the protection level. If yours isn't up to the task, change it now.
This may sound strange, but a light coating of WD-40 over the entire bike does a great job of preventing corrosion. I got this tip from a bike shop service manager who swears that his bikes come out of storage looking better than customers' bikes that aren't sprayed. In the spring, just drive it to a self-service car wash and hose it down. It'll look great.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need an oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, rubber gloves, oil funnel, bendable funnel, a battery maintainer and a coolant tester.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
