Right. That's why I keep saying they should extend Eli. They can give him a base of $12 mil. Maybe guarantee some of it, and it would drop his cap hit from 20+ to more like 15-17. Saving them a good amount of money. Maybe they could get away with a base of even less if they guarantee enough. Maybe 10. Save themselves like 5 mil in cap room a season, all the while Eli doesn't ever take an actual pay cut.
thank you for the work slip , i was too lazy to do it. You have to sometimes make tough cuts, the giants seem to just stick with what they know which imo is wrong. Make the cuts free up room for the future, do not leave us tight and without real starting linebackers and half an oline again.
We should give Mike Jenkins a shot. 1-2 years at a modest salary.
Thought I would add what releasing T2 this season will do, which is all but guaranteed.
Savings of 2.25 mil on the cap, dead space of 750k.
n/m.. I underestimated T2's cap hit for next year.. For some reason I thought he was making over $4 million next year
Still.. I don't think the Giants cap situation is all that bad as people are making it out to be.
Clint Sintims dead money hit of 400k also clears.
Then he will be off the books completely.
Giants have a rollover of roughly 1 mil as well.
And we dont know what the cap will be for next season yet, though its projected to be about the same.

Three And Out: February 25, 2010
Ladainian Tomlinson says good-bye to San Diego, Darren Sproles could join LT in free agency, and a rumor surfaces that the Chargers are interested in Steven Jackson...
Ladainain Tomlinson held a press conference yesterday where he expressed a heartfelt thank you for the welcome and support San Diego has shown him through the years. While LT's time as a Charger has come to an end, his playing days are not over. Tomlinson stated that his goal is still to become a champion, and that he'd be willing to sign with and play for a team for three to four years in an attempt to attain that which has alluded him thus far: becoming a Super Bowl champion.
There have been increased rumblings that the Chargers may lose Darren Sproles to free agency. Sproles and his agent are unwilling to sign with San Diego at a less-than-market price, and it seems like the Chargers wont pay Sproles the kind of money he is looking for. As a restricted free agent, the Chargers would have to pay Sproles somewhere in the neighborhood of $7 million in 2010. Since the Chargers view Sproles a return man and situational running back, they don't feel comfortable investing that kind of money into Darren Sproles. Sproles and his agent have made it clear they want running back-type money, and they are confidant they will get it with another team once they hit free agency. As a result, the Chargers could lose Darren Sproles - compounding their need for running backs even further.
SOURCE: San Diego Union-Tribune
ESPN affiliate radio station 101ESPN in St. Louis had NFL insider Adam Schefter as a guest this week and Schefter claimed the Rams could be interested in trading running back Steven Jackson in exchange for a first round pick. There is a rumor circulating that the Chargers would send their first round pick (28th overall) to the Rams for Jackson. Add that rumor to the ones about the Chargers trading for Tashard Choice and/or Marshawn Lynch. At this point, it's all pure speculation but the Chargers have essentially admitted they are shopping Cromartie and it makes sense for them to try and get a running back in return. Jackson is a powerful back who has exceptional hands, and could fit nicely in the Chargers' offense. However, he is older and has wear and tear on his body, so even if the Chargers did acquire him, they would still need to bring in a rookie running back.
How did you feel watching LT say good bye to the fans? Would the Chargers be in deep water without Sproles? And would Steven Jackson be a good fit for San Diego? Sound off in the comments below!

Yeah this could work. This would mean our draft would still look the same, except we would need a CB (if we trade Cro) a lot more, but we would still need a rookie RB. I'm not even going to bother naming names but here's what I would pick, taking the best possible athlete:
Round 1 - Rams
Round 2 - NT/CB
Round 3 - NT/CB/RB
Round 4 - RB/OT/DE
Round 5 - OT/DE
Round 6 - Best Athlete
Round 7 - Best Athlete
I think LT's goodbye was heartfelt and refreshing considering the amount of divas and crybabys out there. LT will be missed and will never be forgotten in SD, the greatest charger RB of all time. I think we could do without sproles, his contributions in the return game have been average the last couple seasons and he's not even an option in the run game. I don't think anyone will offer him Primary Back money and he's already said he wants to stay so I think he will.
Whoever started this Steven Jackson is completely ignoring the fact that AJ Smith would never let it happen. Dean Spanos was the only reason LT was still even a Charger the last couple season, AJ didn't want to keep him because he knew he was getting old and too expensive. Steven Jackson signed a 45 million dollar contract in 2008 and if he was traded to the chargers we'd have to pick that up, that's an average of 7.5 million per season for the next 5 years(which are all decline years for Jackson). AJ Smith would never pick up that kind of contract on a star player, let alone an aging star player! The chargers don't make moves that big in the offseason especially moves with the potential to hurt the team. Plus, the chargers don't need to blow that kind of money on a RB, they went 13-3 with practically NO RUN game last season. We don't need a workhorse RB, we just need a guy that can get the job done.
With the way our division is gearing up on defense I think we need to get a guy who can wear them down in the fourth quarter. We score lots of points but we also need to be able to kill the clock - something we haven't been very good at as of late
I'll admit my eyes got a little misty seeing LT break down like that. He always wore his heart on his sleeve
Ask Tony Dungy if Sproles can be an every down back.
Jackson for #1 draft pick? This draft is deep in RB's, why give a #1 for a tired RB. For the #1 the Chargers need a DT/DE, as everyone forgotten that everyone ran up their middle, plus Jamal Williams missed the season on an arm injury. And he getting older. Norv Turner wants a passing offense. That why L.T. won't sign for less money. L.T. won't get a chance to break records with the carries he would get per game. Marty been gone. So with that said they need a OT to protect Rivers right side. They been using players best suited for the guard position trying to play OT. After that they can draft a RB. They don't need a flashy RB. All they need is three RB's that run ,block and catch. If they can trade Cromartie for draft picks or for a young RB. Maybe Lendale White. He doesn't catch the ball very well, but that's why you have two other RB's that can.

the great thing about being a charger fan, is you know what is rumor. simply because of who's our GM. AJ has been liked, hated, but the one thing he has been is consistsant. AJ has routinely NOT spent big dollars on free agents, or even been agressive at pursuing them. you can bank this a rumor, based on our GM's history alone.
peace out
I really don't see this happening. If there's anything we've learned from the past several drafts, it's that quality RBs can be found in rounds 2-4. I say the Chargers trade Cromartie for a 2nd round pick, giving them 5 picks in the first 4 rounds that they can use on the defensive line, RB, CB, and OT. How does this look?
Round 1: Dan Williams, NT
Round 2 (traded pick): Jahvid Best, RB
Round 2 (own pick): Tyson Alualu, DT
Round 3: Syd'Quan Thompson, CB
Round 4: Best Right tackle prospect available
(Can you tell I'm a Cal fan?)
- Rob Zepeda said... Feb 26, 2010, 3:46:00 PM
@Anonymous above: LOVE the mock. Best in the second would be a steal, Alualu fits our scheme perfectly, and landing Dan Williams would be a major coup. Great mock!
Do you guys really think Best will make it through the first round? It seems that despite his injury history and risk that his explosiveness will be very attractive. I would love to snag both Dan Williams and Alualu...adding Dwyer to the backfield in addition to those two d line men would be awesome.
Hey Rob, Remember when I said the Chargers should not sign or should just trade Sproles? Even if L.T. won't be around. You are right about A.J Smith he didn't trade him, he waiting to see what compenstion the Chargers will get. But my guess was right the Chargers took the risk of not having a veteran RB coming back from on the 1st team. Now trading Cromartie is next. I heard they been shopping him around since last year. Draft picks or a seasoned RB (Lendale White), I know White doesn't catch the ball very well, yea that's why we need 2 more RB that can catch. 3 RB rotation, good solid backs. With our passing games taking off, we don't need a superstar quality RB. It would be nice, but it is not a must. Plus the Saints are letting their other RB go to free agency. I can't remember his name. But you never know! Hey Jackson is very hot item to trade! Floyd can take is spot. Jackson can't handle success I hate to say it he going to blow it in his off season dramas. To get arrested on the way to the Jets playoff game for driving with a suspended (DUI) license for playing his music too loud! The lights are on, but the elevator doesn't go the top floor.

The Importance of Home Insurance in Florida
For most people, buying their Florida home was part of the American dream. However, that sentiment can get turned upside down if you don't have the necessary insurance to cover your investment. Homes are large sturdy structures, but all it takes is one bad wire or one freak storm and they can be reduced to rubble, leaving you devastated and without a place to sleep. That's why you absolutely must have home insurance in Florida from FloridaInsuranceQuotes.net to protect this important possession when looking for home insurance companies in Florida. Otherwise, you risk losing everything.
The Goal of Home Insurance in Florida
It might sound silly, but it's important to establish the main reason to have home insurance in Florida. Otherwise, you might make the same mistake many other people do and simply sign up for insurance simply to meet a requirement for your mortgage. Without giving it some thought, however, you run the risk of not having enough coverage when things go wrong.
The whole point of home insurance is to restore your property and possessions back to their original condition prior to damage occurring. This should be your ultimate goal when perusing your options. By keeping this in mind, it should be harder to make a bad investment that could leave you without the coverage you need.
Dwelling Coverage
This is the most basic type of home insurance in Florida and the version you must absolutely have in case something goes wrong. Your dwelling is nothing more than the physical structure of your home and structures likewise attached. So an attached garage or greenhouse would count as your dwelling as well. But that's it. Imagine what your home looked like prior to moving in and there's your dwelling. The coverage will not ensure any items you move inside it.
Dwelling coverage will cover the amount to rebuild the structure should something happen to it or if damage was simply done to part of it. This coverage restores the home to what it first was. However, the current real estate market has no effect on what that amount would be. So it's not as though your dwelling coverage goes down because of a poor economy.
Other Structures
As you've probably already considered, not all of your property or even your actual "dwellings" are attached to your home. You may have a guest house, for example. Many people have garages that aren't attached, sheds, etc. These structures should all be insured too as they're just as likely to get damaged if catastrophe occurs.
Personal Property
Recall that your dwelling coverage only insures the physical structure, not the items inside. Obviously, that's no good if a hurricane hits your Florida home. Getting the house rebuilt would be great, but you'll be at quite the loss without the money to fill it back up with furniture, amenities, etc.
That's where personal property insurance is necessary. However, each insurance company defines this type of coverage a bit differently. You'll want to check with their terms to be sure you know which items are covered, which are excluded and which are only partially covered.
Additional Living Expense
This type of coverage is also referred to as Loss of Use. Basically, this coverage insures you for the costs you may incur simply to live without your home. If your house burned down, for example, you'd probably need to live out of a hotel for a while, eat out, etc. and this would all cost a lot of money. So you'd want home insurance in Florida that helped you recouped these expenses.
Although it may seem simple at face value, home insurance Florida actually has a number of facets. Make sure you cover all of them before signing up with a provider or you could find yourself with a terrible situation getting even worse.

|Check-in before
Hello Nicholas, we had an fantastisch vacation in Almerida, Blazis House. It was a very nice appartment and also the aria arround. Very friendly people avery where and we had a very nice contact whit your housekeeper. We are for sure coming back! Thanks.
De accomodatie zag er prima uit. We zijn ontvangen door mevr. Roula, house keeper van Nicholas, die ons per mail hiervan op de hoogte stelde. Zelf hebben we Nicholas niet gezien.
De bewegwijzering naar de accommodatie was erg onduidelijk en slecht. Ook het toegevoegde kaart bij de mail van Wimdu.
Wij gingen ervan uit dat het aan de rand van stad Chania lag. Maar het was het dorpje Arymido ver buiten Chania. Dankzij behulpzame bevolking hebben we het gevonden.
Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Regelmäßig (ca. 2x/Woche) wurden Bettwäsche und Handtücher komplett neu ausgewechselt und der Müll wurde entsorgt. Das Zimmer war mit allem ausgestattet was man brauchte. Das Gelände war schön hergerichtet und mit viel Liebe gestaltet worden. Die Hauskepperin war sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Auch der Besitzer gab immer schnelle und zuverlässige Auskünfte. Alles in allem ein super Urlaub!
A very nice, clean apartment with well serviced pool. Roula was very helpful and it was great to have the sheets and towels changed and the apartment cleaned mid-stay. It would have been helpful to have some information about the local amenities, such as the location of the bakery, bank, where to buy bus tickets and bus timetable, leaflets about the surrounding area, etc.
Perfect Holiday!
Terrific location in the middle of beutiful Almerida. The hotel and the rooms were really clean and nice, the pool were shining clean! The personal were really helpful and friendly. The best hotel in Almerida!! :-)
Thank you for a wonderful week!
/Regards Thomas with family
Blazis House and owner Nicholas with his wife and housekeeper Mrs Roula has an excellent nice place and they were very helpfull and friendly. Than You very much You all. Grand children were with us and the enjoy a lot. Almyrida-village was also surprisingly nice, many good tavernas, beach was also very suitable for children. It was a great pleasure to relax one week at Blazis House. We have still one lemon from Your lemon tree. We will have Your lemon tomorrow when celebrating Midsummer eve at home. Greatings to You. Hannele and Harri from Kuopio, Finland.
The apartment is fantastic. We stayed as a family of 5 in the Easter holidays at the beginning of April. The apartment was spotlessly clean and everything you needed was provided. The hosts were extremely friendly and did everything they could to ensure we had a great time, including being flexible in meeting us after at 10 pm on arrival due to flight times, providing advice about places to visit, checking we didn't need anything and regularly emptying bins etc. The swimming pool was in operation which was a great bonus at this time of year. I used it daily and although it was too cold to play in, it was ok for some serious swimming. The apartment is really well designed with two balconies to catch the morning and evening sun. A very short walk to the beach and some excellent family restaurants. We can not recommend this apartment to others enough. Thanks to our hosts for a great holiday!
I stayed in the larger two bedroom apartment with my wife and two sons in August 2013. The apartment was fantastic, ideal size, extremely well maintained and very clean, the pool was also great for our children, and again all very well maintained which was good. The location is very convenient, just a couple of minutes walk from the beach, restaurants & shops. Booking this apartment made our first visit to Crete very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it.
Appartement agréable et confortable. Très propre. Accueil chaleureux. Comme partout en Crête d'ailleurs. Nous sommes très satisfaits de cette location
Отличная квартира с отдельным входом, двумя санузлами. Очень тихо. Пляж рядом. Очень чисто.
- 住宿品质保证

Minimal movement in Christian Martinez murder trial
EL PASO, Texas - At the County Courthouse Monday, the capital murder trial of Christian Martinez only heard from one defense witness, in a day otherwise bogged down in procedural hearings. In total, the jury heard about an hour of testimony.
Martinez is accused of stabbing two women to death in 2011. Police say he saw Jovana Flores jogging on the street, followed her home and then killed her and her mother in their home, before trying to take his own life.
Psychologist Dr. James Schutte was the only witness the defense was able to call to the stand. Schutte briefly talked about the tests and evaluations performed over the past three years on Martinez. The jury was able to hear his diagnosis of Martinez as mentally retarded and suffering from schizo-affective disorder.
There were serious delays in the testimony in the morning and afternoon. The prosecution raised objections to Schutte bringing up other psychologist tests and findings. The subsequent discussion caused presiding Judge Gonzalo Garcia to remove the jury from the courtroom. The judge then moved to a 'gatekeeping' hearing, which took several hours as the judge evaluated the experts testimony before allowing the jury to hear it.
The jury was also excused for a similar hearing the same morning, as family members of Martinez were interviewed by the judge, prosecution and defense. Jesse and Vivian Martinez, Christian's half brother and sister, as well as friend Victor Cantu and Christian's mother Guadalupe Martinez. They answered questions about the time they spent over the years with Christian, with the defense working towards clearing them to tell the jury about the changes they saw in Christian, and contribute to the insanity defense.
Jesse in particular laid out a troubled home scene, talking about the physical and verbal abuse at the hands of his and Christian's father, and what he feared Christian was subjected to in subsequent years. Jesse said he suffered "serious brusies, broke his jaw and some ribs," and that Chrstian, ten years old at the time, witnessed the abuse.
Ultimately, Judge Gonzalo Garcia ruled all of the possible family testimony as not relevant to the insanity defense, due to lack of long periods of interaction and observation of Martinez

TED Talks, a collection of high-level presentations originally built for the industries of Technology, Education, and Design (TED), have some good applications to the dairy business, too.
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
We can buy happiness. That seems to be a pie-in-the-sky statement, but what if I told you researcher Michael Norton has proven we can? And, what if we told you that learning how to buy happiness could help your dairy business?
TED talks, aiming to bring together the world's most riveting presentations, tend to be "shoot for the stars" in attitude. But they aren't based on thoughts alone; they're based on science. And for this reason, we hope you can use some of them in your dairy business. Below, in no particular order, are the top 5 TED Talks we've found for dairy producers:
How to buy happiness, by Michael Norton: http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_norton_how_to_buy_happiness.html
Norton explains why money is able to buy us happiness, we just aren't using it the right way. It can help with teambuilding and year-end bonuses for your employees.
How great leaders inspire action, by Simon Sinek:
Why can great leaders inspire us? It's the "why," says Sinek. His talk could be helpful in motivating employees, connecting with consumers, or just realizing why we're drawn to a certain speaker or company.
Perspective is everything, by Rory Sutherland:
(Be advised, there is one word of vulgar language in this one.)
Our circumstances matter less than how we see them, says Sutherland. Sutherland is an expert on branding. His talk could help you think about how small changes in how we frame things, for ourselves and our employees, could make a big impact on quality of life.
The surprising science of motivation, by Dan Pink:
Want to motivate your employees? Dan Pink has some scientific answers.
The best stats you've ever seen, by Hans Rosling
Ready to think into the future of the dairy business? Hans Rosling shares data on the developing world. It just might reflect dairy's future customers.

Unused spectrum
Spectrum allocated to broadcast television is only partially used. In particular, in developing countries. This presents a magnificent opportunity to introduce wireless data networking services in channels that are not currently in use, and to start reaping the benefits of TV white spaces in a more benign environment, where the kind of spectrum sensing and agile frequency changing required to share the crowded spectrum in wealthy countries may not be necessary.
Successful deployment of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile systems in the 450 MHz band (in the middle of TV allocated frequencies) has demonstrated the value of lower frequencies for two-way data communications, e.g. in rural areas such as the Argentinean state of Patagonia, which is currently served by "Cooperativa Telefónica de Calafate-COTECAL". COTECAL offering voice and data services to customers at distances up to 50 km from the Base Station, in the beautiful area shown in the figure.

I don't know what happened with intense debate that it just dissapeared from the blog and erased all the comments :-(((( I'm so sorry!ReplyDelete
I updated the post with the suggestions and now I will try to fix the comments or copy and paste the comments lost :-(
I think No Time For Postcards is a different Muppet shade (perhaps Meep Meep), or maybe even The Show Must Go On? The bottle I picked up was a lot more pinkish toned than fuchsia, but there was a lot of strong golden shimmer as you said. Thank you for listing all the other ones! I was trying to figure out the green one :DReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Emma! I wasn't sure about that and when I came back to my Ulta to take some pictures, they weare almost all sold out! I could take a picture of the green one with on't mees with OPI and they are 100% sure dupes!Delete
I just saw a post comparing it with The one that got away and one of the burlesque collection with pictures! I'll update the post with the link!Delete

Actually, I think you have 2 reversed. I think Oh, Waiter = Stranger Tides & Where's My Bikini Top = Skull & Glossbones.ReplyDelete
Also, No Time For Postcards *might* be Congeniality Is My Middle Name from Miss Universe if it is not The One That Got Away. I do not think it is Pepe's Purple Passion (based only on swatches I've seen).
Thanks for doing this. Yours is the only blog I've seen with an actual list, which is very helpful!! (others just say, oh, they're dupes, but they don't say which ones!)
You don't have to guess ladies. If you look at the bottom of the bottles, you see a colour code. Even if OPI repromotes the colours with a different name, it is still the same colour code. I checked with all Halloween renamed polishes from the past years. If you don't have the original to compare it to, you can check the OPI website. The page with the hand on which you can try the colours, lists the colour code of the selected colour as well. Good luck!ReplyDelete

Will you hold it against me if I tell you that my first thought when I saw your photo was "street urchins"? But charming street urchins!ReplyDelete
Will check out the donut place on my next trip to NYC that, I am happy to say, is soon, soon,, soon!Replies
haha i just had to google "street urchins"!! urchin - poor and often mischievous city child. yep! hahaDelete
You take the BEST photos!ReplyDelete
So yummy. Doughnuts have to be one of God's greatest gifts to man. One of my favorite treats: a chocolate milk shake!ReplyDeleteReplies
oh yeah--good one. shake shack milkshakes!Delete
mmm. ice cream, 100%. your kids make those donuts look good though!ReplyDelete
Cookies are usually my favorite treat. But I'd be willing to try a doughnut shop. Is it better than Dunkin? (Don't judge -- we all love Dunkin's donuts at heart)ReplyDeleteReplies
hmmm. good question. the last time i had dunkin donuts was on Halloween. They were giving out donut holes to trick or treaters! I stole most of them from my kids bags. Best Halloween treat ever.Delete
Dunkin's great for basic flavors--but DoughnutPlant has gourmet quality donuts. Peanut Butter and Blackberry Jelly donuts. Tres Leches. Hazelnut. Valrhona Chocolate.
What a wonderful picture! The boys look like they're in a state of mind in which nothing but their doughnut exists :D Cute. We don't have Doughnut Plant in Germany and I think all over the country, there is only ONE Dunkin Donut - there might be more, but I haven't found them yet. So unfair. I'll go eat my stupid pretzel and then have some sauerkraut and beer.ReplyDelete
My family would agree with you, Ozzy, Luca and Mark are all crazy for doughnuts. They often take an early morning Saturday walk over to Bobs to gobble doughnuts. I usually stay home, I just don't like them, I know it's strange but doughnuts are maybe my least favorite treat. I'll take a cookie, ice-cream or cake any day.ReplyDelete
Given that I write a blog whose first word in the title is "donut", I think you know what my answer is! And Doughnut Plant is by far the best of the lot. Their creme brulee doughnut is my kryptonite! Great picture!!ReplyDelete
Hi Sharon! I bumped into you yesterday in the elevator with my husband and son at Columbus Circle station. I totally wanted to tell you that I love your blog and you and your family inspire me to stay in NYC to raise our son. I didn't want to weird you and your husband out and was a little starstruck seeing you and your family in person. :)ReplyDelete
Funny thing is that yesterday my husband saw you and your family first and whispered to me in Korean "wow I have so much respect for this mom and dad -they have 3 kids so close in age!" That's when I turned around and saw it was you! My husband totally thought I was crazy when I told him I knew you from your blog. ;) Hope you guys had a great Sunday!
Our favorite treat are the chocolate chip walnut cookies from Levain Bakery. They are to die for! Have you tried them?Replies
Hi!! It was so nice to meet you. Thank you for such a thoughtful note. Yes! Stay in the city! it's so fun!Delete
I've only been to Levain bakery once, about a year ago. Email me and we can meet up one of these days! I need to go back for another cookie. It's been too long. :)
doughnuts are the best...i'd choose them over cake, cookies, etc. any day!ReplyDelete
on an unrelated note - i'll be traveling to nyc in may with my 4 month old son. it will be my first post-baby visit to the city and i'm looking for suggestions. any thoughts on how to spend our time?Replies
hi! so glad you're taking a vacation. it's going to be awesome!! i didn't write this list, but she's spot on. :) http://madiswhirlwind.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-guide-to-nyc.htmlDelete
All of the above, but I do have a special fondness for donuts, as much as I hate to say it out loud. :)ReplyDelete
Yum, I love Doughnut Plant! Especially their peanut butter and jelly donut. I don't know if I could ever pick a favorite treat- I have such a sweet tooth! I love the donuts at Peter Pan in Greenpoint and Dough at the Brooklyn Flea; both worth checking out if you haven't already!ReplyDelete
I love doughnut planet, caramel brownies might be my favorite treat! yum!ReplyDelete
Oh how I love that place! Creme Brulee is my favorite but the coconut one is a close second. I dream about them especially now that I'm pregnant :)ReplyDelete

Reviews of this property
We had a lovely stay in rome. The appartment was pretty much the same as on the fotos. And the location was great only 50 meters away from the Fontana di Trevi and 5 minutes away from the metro. The only thing we struggled with, was that the hot water only worked for a few minutes before turning cold. But this wasn't a big problem because it was over 30 degrees in rome and after a while we learned to take very short showers, so everyone could shower hot. We were very happy with the appartment, we were 5 people and all of us would recommend the appartment.
Top! Beautiful apartment, great central, clean, good beds it had been five stars if the kitranden the bathroom had been some fresher (the bathroom was quite clean)
Top! Mooi appartement, heerlijk centraal, schoon, fijne bedden het had vijf sterren geweest als de kitranden van de badkamer wat frisser geweest waren (de badkamer was wel schoon)
El apartamento muy bien, lo mejor la situación, muy céntrico, cerca de todo, no tuvimos que coger ni el metro, en un paseo llegas a todos los sitios más emblemáticos de Roma. El apartamento muy limpio la única pega para nosotros fue el aseo, es bastante viejo y feo, el resto de la casa está mas reformado.
Bonito apartamento, limpio y muy bien situado! La única pega es que nos cobraron 3e por persona y noche en concepto de tasas y no se nos había informado de ello en ningún momento.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung am Trevi-Brunnen sehr wohlgefühlt. Zentraler kann man kaum wohnen, trotzdem bekommt man vom Rummel am Trevi-Brunnen nichts mit. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel haben wir nur sehr selten benutzt, man erreicht viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß. Supermärkte befinden sich in der Nähe. Die Schlüsselübergabe war auch bei später Anreise unkompliziert.

This is à hot place to be in Rome, that you share with many people every day. However inside you just hear in the background the noise of running water.
Spacious living room; two big bedrooms and one small, but sufficiënt for a child.
Toilets may need some small repairs, but this is no big deal.
Good place to stay, when you want to discover Rome. Within 100 meter you find everything to fill à Hungry of thirsty mind and stomach....
We were very happy with everything here.
Francesca came to the street to greet us and welcome in. Apartment was nice and beautiful and the terrace of course was awesome. Spent great 2 nights here and would like to come again as well.
Francesca also fixed us ride from the airport and that was very good idea since after seeing the small streets I believe regular taxi driver would not drive you to the front door. So thank you for that as well.
Oh yeah, and the Trevi seems to be even closer than what it says. We went there many times. Thank you!
Apartment just in the middle of everything. A big terrace on the roof that we used every dag. Do note that the stairs up to the roof are narrow. Everything to our full satisfaction except for 1st floor where higth is for kids only. We were 6 adults and the 4 of us, sleeping upstairs had to move around backs bending forward not to crash our head against the ceiling. That we did not know.
Excellent appartment! Very well located very close to the Fontana di Trevi. Very quite and lots of light with an incredible terrace. I'll repeat if I come back to Rome! Many thanks Francesca!!!

East Carolina Spring Football Game In The Books
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina continued to wage position battles and fine tune its offensive and defensive schemes Saturday, closing its spring practice contact period with the Purple-Gold Game in front of 7,114 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
ECU's ones and twos on the depth chart experienced the majority of the action, while the threes turned in an abbreviated segment at the end of the scrimmage. Collectively, East Carolina racked up 369 yards on 85 plays for an average of 4.3 yards per play.
"We went into the game thinking execution on all three sides of the ball," head coach Ruffin McNeill said. "We had officials and fans in the stands which contributed to a game-like atmosphere. We were able to come out of it healthy. I like the progress of the team."
The Pirate quarterback corps finished the contest with 30 completions on 47 attempts for 248 yards. Junior Rio Johnson converted 17 of his 23 passes to lead the squad with 153 yards and was the only signal caller of the three to avoid a turnover. Redshirt freshman Cody Keith and senior Brad Wornick contributed 69 and 26 yards, respectively, with each having a drive ended via turnover. Johnson produced 11 of ECU's 20 first downs while Keith added seven.
"I think you saw some good things on both parts of the quarterback battle," McNeill added. "I thought there was a smooth operation there. Our offensive line did a very good job today against a defense that showed a lot of movement. I thought they did a good job working together as one today."
Leading the East Carolina ground attack was redshirt freshman running back Chris Hairston, who was responsible for 52 of the Pirates' 121 yards. Senior Reggie Bullock produced the only offensive touchdown of the game, finding the endzone from one yard out in the first half as part of a 25-yard effort on 11 rushes.
A quartet of receivers were responsible for most of the aerial yardage, with Justin Hardy (48), Reese Wiggins (47), Derrick Harris (38) and Dayon Arrington (32) combining for 16 catches and 165 yards. True freshman walk-on Chris Cacciola also experienced action in the contest, recording two receptions for 24 yards.
Redshirt freshman inside linebacker Zeek Bigger led all tacklers with eight stops, including one for a loss of two yards. The highlight defensively, however, came from sophomore safety Desi Brown, who recovered a fumble on a lateral pass by Brad Wornick and took it 32 yards to the endzone for the first score of the day.
Sophomore inside linebacker Brandon Williams was also active in the backfield, posting seven stops with one for a loss of two yards. In all, the defense recorded eight tackles for loss and a sack, as well as an interception by junior cornerback Adonis Armstrong on a tipped pass.
"I thought the defense played very good 11-man football," McNeill remarked. "We'll add some guys, but I really like this football team."
As a unit, the offensive converted seven of its 20 third-down attempts (35 percent) while cashing in on two of three fourth-down conversion tries. The Pirates also punted four times with senior Phil McNaughton and junior Trent Tignor each receiving two opportunities. McNaughton held the upper hand with a 32.5-yard average as compared to a 23.5-yard per punt showing for Tignor.
A total of six offensive penalties were called in the contest - three of which were illegal procedure miscues. The officials also flagged the Pirates for two delay of game penalties and an illegal substitution.
East Carolina produced both of its touchdowns in the first half while adding a 24-yard field goal by junior Matt Millisor before the break. Sophomore Warren Harvey and freshman Shawn Williams would add 48 and 27-yard field goals in the second period to round out the scoring. Additionally, Harvey knocked through both of his PAT attempts.
"I thought the offense moved the ball well," McNeill said. "There were situations we could have converted better. We also had some administrative penalties that we need to eliminate. We are very pleased with the progress of our defense and our offense did a good job of catching up today going against a defense that did a really good job executing."

Seniors' interests are far-reaching
Students are always dreaming about the possibilities. This year, 68 Pine River-Backus seniors will walk across the stage and receive their diplomas as the PR-B Class of 2013.
These students will be starting the next phase of their dreams.
Here at Pine River-Backus students really begin their post-secondary planning as early as ninth grade. We use the Minnesota Career Information Systems (MCIS) to explore career options. The assessment actually demonstrates a student's strengths and interests and will develop a pathway to success. We use the data to develop individual learning plans and set specific goals for each student.
This year our seniors have varied post-secondary interests. Twenty-nine students plan to attend four-year programs at many different colleges and universities. This fall, PR-B students will arrive at schools like the University of Minnesota, Duluth and Twin Cities; Minnesota State University, Moorhead; Bemidji State University; University of Wisconsin; and North Dakota State University, along with Concordia and Bethel.
Students plan to study things like pre-med, engineering, nursing, business, communications, social work/law enforcement, journalism, theatre and education. Our world will be a better place for these students' efforts and for our students' dreams.
Many other students have two-year plans with their options open to a four-year degree should they be interested. A vast majority of our students will attend Central Lakes College, our regional partner and our College in the Schools host.
Students attending CLC will study sign language, nursing, dental assistant, generals, radiology and auto mechanics. Again, PR-B promotes more services and opportunities for our community and students.
We also have students attending Alexandria Technical College for criminal justice; Hibbing Community College for sports, personal training and social work; Wadena Technical College for massage therapy; Northland Technical for photography; Staples Technical for heating and air conditioning; Vermillion for conservation and land surveying; Ridgewater College for veterinarian; Lake Superior College for psychology; Anoka Ramsey for communications; Rasmussen Community College for game and simulation programming; and the Institute of Production and Recording for audio engineering.
You can see that our students' interests are far-reaching!
Several students are enlisting in the Marines and Air Force. And, some students have plans to get into the world of work immediately. Some are getting into retail, resorts and even the post office! One young man has a job promise from Nike once he graduates.
As students work their way through their high school programs, we make sure they have the skills and courses needed to graduate and, more importantly, the background they need to bring them along their chosen career path. In addition, students must meet credit and testing requirements in order to get a PR-B diploma.
Our students take a Careers Class that allows them to think about the possibilities, but also provides sound information regarding what it takes to get where they're going.
As you can see, the Class of 2013 has been very successful in making progress toward many different fields in many different areas. Student dreams are coming true!
Be sure to do what you can to support them as they take their first steps outside of PR-B.
(Mary Ruth Sigan is a Pine River-Backus High School counselor.)

An effect particular to people who frequently play quiz games on sporcle.com, whereupon they easily remember obscure facts but forget glaringly obvious ones.

When one person is on Sporcle.com (often at school or in a workplace) everyone in a ten-foot radius becomes instantly distracted and joins them in the Sporcle quiz.

I purchased this month a MN Hygienic queen. I installed in a split that I had made. have built up very strong and very fast. Shipping was very fast as well.
Will definitely buy from again in the future.
I purchased this month a MN Hygienic queen. I installed in a split that I had made. have built up very strong and very fast. Shipping was very fast as well.
Will definitely buy from again in the future.
Bought 2 3# from them near all dead on delivery never again.
Terry had major issues with Shipping last year. Difference is he admitted it and put a consent form on his site for shipping. He did NOT want to ship this year. His bees are great. My MHI queen blew apart the hive with brood, no problems overwitnering and by middle march, I split the 5 times....
"You laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh at you because you are all the same."
I bought a few packages from them a few years ago. The first shipment arrived way overdue and dead. When Terry found out he was heartbroken and had replacements sent right away along with an apology for something that really wasn't his fault. By that time it was HOT here and the worst possible scenareo for starting packages but they did okay.
In short... good bees, honest people.
Never again all the bees were dead post master said the incorrect shipping was used to ship bees. I was very sad.
yeah well, interestingly enough my last traffic ticket was delivered to the goverement building and then sent back to me as underliverable.....with the correct address, then my passport was just returned undeliverable.....with the correct address and postage.....and the pastmaster also said that i shipped it incorrectly...interesting because it was her advice that i took to ship it. After about 30 minutes of arguing, guess who was right....NOT THEM!!!
"You laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh at you because you are all the same."
It took 5 days to ship something that normal takes 2 days max even if it can't go on a plane. I ship stuff everyday at work and could not understand why it would be ship parcel services with special handling and not priority with special handling. I also spoke with a friend of my family who is also a post master who told me the same thing as well as the post master who received the package of bees. The special handling lets them know if it can or can't go on a plane or not or if there are any other special requirements. The service that you use determine the speed at which it is ship, package service is usual for junk mail or phone books. If your in the business of shipping things, I would think you would know the best way to ship. If the post office forced them to ship it that way I aplogize and I would go back to the post office and file claim with them because it was very sad to see all the dead bees and that is all this is about. The Bees!
I also had a very bad experience with H& L. I got permission to start a hive at the school where I worked and was allowed to use the majority of the summer allotment of monies the program got for science. I got a package from the through their Ebay auction which CLEARLY stated shipping would be through USPS. We live on an Island in WA State and do not get UPS or Fedex on weekends. I also gave an alternate delivery address as we had a house fire and were living elsewhere until the damage was repaired.
I wanted to keep close tabs so I could tell the post office when to expect and call me when the package arrived, so I e-mailed terry to see if it had been shipped and included the CORRECT address in the e-mail. He e-mailed me back with a UPS tracking #. I was unable to get any results with the tracking # and contacted Terry again to verify. He sent the same # again and said " I was a fool to think the USPS could get it there in time" -even though his add stated that was how he shipped.
I contacted Terry yet again expressing my concerns that we did not get UPS service on our island on the weekend. He responded that "It was not his problem and it was not his fault I lived where the sun did not shine"
I found out through UPS that the bees had been delivered to the burnt house and I found them there after they had been there a day. They were in OK shape and I was able to install them into the hive at the school.
I left a NEUTRAL feedback for Terry on Ebay, not negative. Terry contacted me very angry because I had diminished his Ebay rating by doing this and told me he was banning me from buying from him again. No problem there!
I bought a queen couple of months ago wont buy another
Went to see terry outfit and was treated like a king he has been going thru some thing's but i have been dealing with them for years and i did not have no problems his bees are part of my breeding program for my area. He try to do the best he can and to make things right but if you have a problem all you have to do is call him he is a good guy and runs a pretty cool outfit i will get bees from him without any trouble.I do know that the post office has alot to do with getting bees on time they have been taking thier time sending me my bees from terry i know he sends them priority mail which is two days but i get mine infour day instead of two thats lame on the post office part.
Thomas Yancey
I ship queens thru USPS. If you want 1 or 2 day you must use express mail not priority. There is no delivery time guarantee with priority mail.

- Location:
- Phone:
Building on the success of Gargoyles, Philip Neal, one of Richmond Ballet's illustrious alums, returns to choreograph another world premiere to open the 30th anniversary season.
Ballet at its most unexpected: Bow Out pairs sleek style with the unconventional jazz music of the Apollo Saxophone Quartet. In Bow Out, both male and female dancers don men's suits for an urban take on contemporary movement. Choreographed by Caniparoli, who has been called an "American master with a uniquely eclectic style," Bow Out premiered in 1995 at Richmond Ballet.

Special Session A First For Pa. Superior Court Judges, County
READING, Pa. - The wheels of justice rolled out of Harrisburg for a special session on the road Tuesday.
Three Superior Court judges left their courtrooms in the Pennsylvania capital to hear cases in Reading.
It was a packed courtroom in the Berks County Courthouse. For the first time in county history, the state Superior Court is holding a special session in Reading.
"We worked out the details thanks to the Superior Court staff, my staff, and the Berks County Bar Association and it became a reality," said Berks County President Judge Jeffrey Schmehl.
Judges Jack Panella, Ann E. Lazarus, and Paula Francisco Ott stepped into the courtroom raring to get to work on the 45 cases they'll hear over the next couple days.
"We're reviewing what a trial court did, so it makes it more real to be in the setting where you're thinking about what happened at a lower court and whether what happened was correct," said Ott.
Each of the three judges has more than 10 years experience as a trial judge before being elected to the Superior Court.
Panella presided over civil and criminal cases for 12 years as a trial judge for the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County.
Lazarus said the Superior Court deals with criminal, civil, and personal injury cases. The 15 judges who preside on the state court hear up to 8,000 cases each year.
"Each judge is responsible for somewhere between 350 and 400 cases, which means we are producing one opinion a week if not more," said Lazarus.
Court officials said the special session has been in the works for almost two years.
The session will be open to the public again on Wednesday.

text: I live in Katy, Tx a suburb of Houston but we have a farm north of Houston. Last summer we found 3 hives of bees at our farm. We had a guy come out that was going to try to move one to a box, but it didn't happen. I bought the box, the books and have talked with another bee keeper in town. I want to get started this year so I'm just looking to learn as much as I can.

Public hearing on city taxing districts moves to Cole Memorial Building
A public hearing on the city of Pequot Lakes' urban and rural taxing districts has been moved from city hall to the Cole Memorial Building, next to the bobber water tower.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23.
The city council is considering a proposed three-year phase-in to equalize taxes paid by urban and rural taxing district residents. The taxing districts were established in 2002 when the city and Sibley Township merged. The ongoing discrepancy in taxes was brought to the city council's attention last year.
Residents in the rural tax district, or the former Sibley Township, likely will see their city portion of property tax increase, while residents in the urban tax district, or the former square-mile city limits, likely will see their city portion of taxes decrease to fix the 10-plus year disparity in city taxes among those two tax districts.
The city council will gather public comments at the July 23 hearing before considering an ordinance change at its August meeting, at which time the council could change the length of the phase-in period.
The goal is to have the phase-in start with 2014 property taxes.
Highway 371 expansion
The Pequot Lakes City Council on Tuesday, July 2, agreed to have its engineering firm do a facility study for an estimated $33,600 to look at options the city has to discharge its treated wastewater after the Highway 371 expansion is built in 2018.
The bypass route of the four-lane highway goes directly through the middle of the current spray irrigation field, and because of the time involved in the engineering and permitting process from various agencies, the city agreed to have Widseth, Smith, Nolting (WSN) do the facility study.
The council also adopted a resolution supporting an application to Minnesota Management and Budget requesting $250,000 in state bond funds for 2014 to replace the wastewater treatment facility spray irrigation field equipment that the Highway 371 expansion project will affect.
If funding was awarded, the city would be required to contribute $250,000 in matching funds.
And the council authorized city staff to continue to meet with city engineer Tim Houle of WSN on turning back roads to the city relating to the Highway 371 expansion process.
In other business July 2, the council:
• Adopted Part 2 of the Wellhead Protection Plan, which will be submitted to the Minnesota Department of Health for final review and approval.
• Appointed Bill Habein to the planning commission through Dec. 31, 2014.
• Agreed to hire two part-time police officers, Chelsey Collette and Patrick Pickar.
• Agreed to build a public works garage just north of city hall at an estimated cost of $85,000 to $90,000 for maintenance equipment.
• Designated Wells Fargo as an additional city depository for 2013 to make a long-term investment of $1 million to take advantage of interest rates.
• Accepted Tri-City Paving's low bid of $11,760 to resurface the parking lot and widen the sidewalk at the Pequot Lakes Library.

By the time Landon – a high school student in Massachusetts – entered his freshman year, he had already been in and out of the hospital for multiple suicide attempts. He had been pulled out of school because he wasn't able to get through the day, and he needed medication to sleep.
Today, Landon is back in school – a vocational school he transferred to as a sophomore, after coming out to friends and family as a transgender boy – and things have gotten a little easier for him. Landon's new school is committed to treating every student with dignity ... Continue ReadingPosted in Prevention, Specific Groups

Bullying has long been viewed as a rite of passage for young people today. But bullying is not a normal part of adolescence and is now appropriately considered to be a serious public health problem with long-term consequences. According to national surveys, the prevalence of bullying in schools ranges from 18-31 percent of school children. In recent years technology has allowed for an additional type of aggression—cyberbullying—which takes place through social media, instant messaging, and other forms of digital communication, with data showing that the prevalence of cyber victimization ranges from 7-15 percent of youth.

Social media, when done right, holds great promise for public health practitioners. As the adoption of Facebook, Twitter, and other online engagement tools become more common among leaders of the field, so too will the insights and sharing of best practices.
With more than one in five youth between the ages of 12 and 18 years old targeted at school, bullying is a widespread problem. In a new journal article, the team at StopBullying.gov takes a close look at online conversations about bullying and uncovers new strategies for promoting public health messages about bullying.Posted in Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention

Community policing is a philosophy revolving around the concept of law enforcement and the community working together to ensure public safety for all in the community. By engaging in partnerships, problem solving, and organizational change, a law enforcement agency can approach public safety in a comprehensive, proactive method. Community policing is neither a program nor a single policing unit, however, it is a philosophy that involves all within the agency and the community.
Community policing can be applied to any setting, including schools. By following community policing, school resource officers (SROs) and school safety personnel can contribute to a productive ... Continue ReadingPosted in Prevention

School continues to be a dangerous place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. A 2014 study by the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) found that 65% of LGBT students heard homophobic remarks frequently or often, 56% of LGBT students reported personally experiencing LGBT-related discriminatory policies or practices at school, and 33% of LGBT students were physically harassed (e.g., pushed or shoved) in the past year because of their sexual orientation.
"Despite increased public acceptance of LGBT people in general, many ... Continue ReadingPosted in Specific Groups

Bob Vila Radio: Water Filtration
Bob Vila Radio is a newly launched daily radio spot carried on more than 60 stations around the country (and growing). You can get your daily dose here, by listening—or reading—to Bob's 60-second home improvement radio tip of the day. Today, it's all
about Water Filtration.
Listen to BOB VILA ON WATER FILTRATION, or read text below:
You want to know the water in your home is safe, but depending on what's in it, you may not need a whole-house filtration system. If you've got hard water, scale can build up in the plumbing; your water pressure will seem to drop and your appliances will suffer. A water softener uses tiny resin beads to attract these minerals and remove them from the water as it enters your house.
If it's just better drinking water you're after, you don't have to treat all the water that enters your home. Point-of-use filtration systems are generally pretty good at removing odors, bad tastes, bacteria and other things you'd rather not drink. They range in complexity from carbon filters in pitchers and icemakers to faucet-mount diverters. Or you might want a plumbed-in system that sends filtered water through an extra faucet next to the kitchen sink. Make sure the system you buy bears the mark of the national sanitation foundation, or NSF.

Two Minute Stories
Unsigned painting
The canvas is untraditional, but for an anonymous alumnus, a new coat of paint was just what was needed to polish up the dignity of the Old Gym. He spent plenty of time inside when he was an Army ROTC student. When he returned to campus last year for the Veterans Day ceremony, he thought this old friend could use a little spit and polish. After all, this is headquarters for Marquette students who go on to serve their country. In a salute to those students, he requested the privilege of getting the job done. He also founded a scholarship for ROTC students.
What's missing?
Richard and Judith (Briedis) English were settling into their new retirement home, hanging mementos, including Judith's diploma, Arts '58. Then Richard realized he didn't have a diploma of his own to hang beside it. Wait! Did he graduate? His memory played tricks so he called Marquette for confirmation. Yes, but he left the country for a job in Puerto Rico and didn't pick up the sheepskin. Could he have it 50-plus years later? Marquette was pleased to comply. "I have it hung now," says Richard, Arts '59. "It means a lot from a sentimental point of view."

I was thinking of doing something like that but using a fairly stiff shortening such as coconut or palm oil, plus no pad, to get a slower release & only need one treatment, what do you think?

"Thinking Inside The Box"
I tried the fry oils but they melt at a low temp so don't work well in the hive. So I settled on the absorbent pad you don't want it to release to quick or to slow. I started using 1 pad every 2 month but get better result with current method. You can use the pads in the summer without driving the bee out. It's taken over 10 years to get the combo right.
Thanks David, maybe you just took a few years off my learning curve!

Gotta ask....what is the deal with blue shop towels. How do they control mites? -js
James Wagner
James Wagner
Dixie, the innuendo is around the secret and sometimes (rumoured) illegal potions that the towel might get dipped into.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
FYI, why do folks think that vets are highly paid? http://www.indeed.com/salary/Veterinarian.html
They end up with big bills from school and everyone complains about paying their vet bills. BTW I'm not a vet, but my wife was considering it.
Also true here. From birth I was an insect and animal lover. Eventual choice was to go to Uni & become a vet, or leave school & work for a commercial beekeeper to learn that trade & become a beekeeper. I found out how much vets get paid so beekeeping won.
Also, when I started my own beekeeping business, in the set up phase it was small & I did farm work to bring in enough money. If any vet work on the farms would cost more than the cost of the animal, cheaper to shoot the animal. So as a consequence, large animal vet work is poorly paid, I was stunned how little, in relation to their qualifications, large animal vets get.
Small animals though, well people are attached to their pooch and may choose to lay out thousands on it after the car accident. Still not like the $$'s of being a doctor, even though the knowledge required to be a good vet is huge.

my vet told me that his small animal clients give him Christmas cards every year, he tells me I give him a hard time every year lol

used, I would think you are correct.
lowered, but the decrease was more gradual than expected. By the end of the treatment, the Varroa mite levels just met
the recommended economic threshold, but more mites than expected still remained in the colonies. Fall-applied
Apivar® strips produced similar results in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Comparatively, colonies that were treated
in the spring of 2009 appeared to have had very good mite control. Many samples from colonies treated in the
spring with Apivar® had very low Varroa mite levels in the fall of 2009. Preliminary analysis of the information
collected during the fall of 2009 does not indicate Apivar® resistance; however, the findings do indicate that we still need to
use this product to its best potential. For example, it is likely that four Apivar® strips will be needed in the fall to treat
colonies effectively.

Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
Good Read. Wasn't there an amitraz based product back in the 90s that mites become resistant with as well?
A beekeeper who uses Amitraz over and over again is not practicing good beekeeping. Now with Amitraz back in the mix, we should be able to put togather a good rotation....
Perhaps that is a good thread... the rotation.... it seems as if I need to treat Spring, Fall, and Winter. I may do something like Amitraz-Formic-OA-Api-Formic-OA. There... that covers 2 years... Amitraz used once... the OA is just a drizzle during a warm break in JAN....
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
The company ran out of bee hive strips and substituted cattle amitraz strips and colonies died. The ticks on the cows had become resistant to the amitraz so the company tried using left over amitraz cow collars on bee hives. Big mistake.
Oops to impatient with the picture key

How often should I apply the lure scent? One time? Twice?---Depending on rainfall flooding the floor at the entrance maybe. Please advise.
How often should I apply the lure scent? One time? Twice?---Depending on rainfall flooding the floor at the entrance maybe. Please advise.
Once, a few drops on a comb and a few in the entrance works for me.
Is there such a thing as too much lure? I put more than usual this year in a trap and have not seen any swarms and very very few scouts.
I dunno---seems like an overabundance of scent would cause suspicion.--Just a guess.
I put 4-5 drops on "lures" I make from cottonballs and 2" sections of drinking straw. Lasts a whole season for me.
When you stop learning you're dead.
I use a half opened sandwich bag containing cotton balls or a piece of paper towel with 4 or 5 drops of lemongrass oil soaked in it. I lay the sandwich bag on the floor of the trap near the back. It last forever inside the bag and I never have to re-apply.
I don't think you can use too much. When I first started I was ridiculous about the amount I was using thinking more is better. I soaked paper towels until they were dripping. I rubbed it all over the entrance once a day, etc. They still moved in. I backed off to just what I'm doing now and they still moved it.
Although I have to say I think it was more about the old comb and the "already lived in" box I was using rather than the lemongrass oil.
I had completely forgot to apply lemongrass oil when I set up the bait hive two weeks ago. A huge swarm just moved in.
Go figure!!!
i agree w charlie. the old comb and lived in box is huge. i have been trying to get bees in all of my nuc boxes even if it means using a new one when i have an empty old one. the extras ought to make good swarm traps next spring.

Hey everyone, it's Friday, time for another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!
The Reader Recommendation series is intended to help me formally pursue all the great films that commenters bring up each week in discussion which I've never seen. If there's a movie that comes up that I haven't seen, but you think I should, email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com or let me know in the comments that you'd like to participate!
This time up, our movie recommendation comes from Melissa Hunter of The Soul of the Plot! Melissa's selected a classic Alfred Hitchcock movie for us, 1951's "Strangers on a Train"!
I'm a big fan of Hitchcock, and have seen many of his films. But somehow this one has eluded me until now, so I'm all too happy that Melissa gave me the opportunity to formally check it out!

We are having a full week of warm weather here in Indiana this week(high 50's). My bees are very active, and I have been feeding some of my weaker hives and NUCs. The hives are taking in quite a bit, about 1 1/2 pints of syrup/day from an outside feeder. Is it safe feeding them? Will this force the queen into laying again? My thinking was that if I feed now while its warm then they won't use their honey stores. Their activity looks like early April right now.
Any thoughts?

Park Service ranger: "We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It's disgusting."
posted at 6:41 pm on October 4, 2013 by Allahpundit
I missed this nugget from Wesley Pruden yesterday, but I think it's actually better for a Friday afternoon to sort of sum up the week.
When and how did the National Park Service become "the shock troops of the punitive bureaucracy"?
The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies. The rangers are from the government, and they're only here to help.
"It's a cheap way to deal with the situation," an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. "We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It's disgusting."
Sad to say, but there's precedent here. The extent of the barricade mentality may have deepened over time, with some memorials being shuttered now that stayed open in '95, but the NPS has apparently always been a lead actor in shutdown-theater pageantry. Andrew Stiles interviewed former Bush Interior Secretary Gale Norton about it, and she said it's nothing new:
"The National Parks Service has a long history of dramatizing budget issues by inconveniencing the public," she says. "They often choose the most dramatic type of action in order to get their message across. It's something I had to guard against when I was secretary — not letting them play budget games."
NPS has engaged in such behavior for decades, Nortons says, recalling at least one occassion during the Reagan administraiton, in which she worked as an attorney for the parks service, when NPS decided to close Skyline Drive, a scenic highway running through Shenandoah National Park, in order to make a statement during an appropriations fight on Capitol Hill…
"Given the fact that they have closed so much, and acted so broadly, I imagine that decision was made at the highest levels of park service leadership, in cooperation with department leadership and the White House," she says.
Note the point about budget games. Darrell Issa sent a letter to the director of the NPS yesterday demanding to know why open-air memorials have been closed and noting that the tactic seems oddly similar to other inexplicable closures back in March, when NPS was grumpy about its budget being cut due to sequestration. Quote: "Specifically, the Committee received information that proposed budget adjustments submitted by an NPS official in the field to deal with sequestration impacts were rejected by NPS superiors in favor of cuts that would be more visible and disruptive." Hearings are presumably on the way, as only a really thorough public shaming is apt to make them think twice about this in the future. I wonder who the Lois Lerner of the NPS will turn out to be. Fair warning to whoever that person is: You're looking at some hard time involving months of paid vacation and a luxe government pension, pardner.
Via John McCormack, here was what the World War II Memorial looked like this morning. They've actually wired the barricades together to make it marginally harder for people to get in. Exit quotation from Tom Hanks, commenting on the Honor Flight vets who insisted on entry earlier this week: "Good for the veterans. Good, go see it. We should all have access to them all the time.""
The fences/barricades were not wired shut when I was here on Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/mMV6TsqGt7

How to register
|This page contains general information posted by the FPS Foreign Affairs. If you are residing abroad, please verify in this list whether your embassy or consulate has posted specific information for your place of residence on its website.
You must meet three requirements for your name to be registered in the register kept by your embassy or consulate:
- You must be Belgian
- Your must not be registered in a population register of a Belgian municipality
- You must prove that your main residence does actually fall within the area of jurisdiction of the embassy or consulate.
Minors must also meet a fourth requirement: they must be registered where one of their parents has been registered.
You must submit a number of documents (see below) to prove that you meet these registration requirements.
Belgian citizens who do not meet these requirements, but who are residing abroad for a protracted period of time, may notify their embassy or consulate of their presence, but will not benefit from the same services as 'registered' Belgians (see above).
Based on the proof you submit that you are no longer registered in a Belgian municipality, the consulate or embassy will register you in its register. When you apply to have your name struck from the register, the municipality in question will issue you with a document called the 'model 8' form, serving as proof that your name has been removed from its list.
If you are already abroad, you may request that your name be struck from the population register of your municipality by sending a letter to your local municipal authorities (Lettre à la commune pour demander la radiation des registres). In principle, you should enclose proof of being settled abroad (e.g. in the form of a certificate issued by the local authorities or by a Belgian embassy or consulate, a copy of your local residence permit, or such like).
If you come from another country where you were registered with an embassy or consulate, you will not have a 'model 8' form. This being the case, the consulate or embassy will contact the consular office of your last place of residence and request the transfer of your administrative file.
When you register, you will be asked to produce the following documents:
- A 'model 8' form if you have come from Belgium;
- your Belgian identity card, as issued by your municipal authority, consulate or embassy;
- the questionnaire Inscription à l'Ambassade, duly filled in, dated and signed;
- a photocopy of your passport;
- a photocopy of your long-term visa (a tourist visa will not suffice) or your local residence permit or local identity card. Since the nature of the documents required may differ according to the local situation, we would recommend that you contact your embassy or consulate beforehand;
- the application form for the federal elections and the proxy form, if applicable (see also the "elections" section)
Once you have registered, please alert the consulate or embassy to:
- Any change in your own civil status or that of members of your family, by submitting an original excerpt from the relevant document, e.g. marriage certificate, divorce certificate, birth certificate, adoption certificate or name change deed);
- any change in the composition of your household;
- any change of nationality;
- any change of address;
- any change of profession;
- your wish to alter your voting method if you have been registered as a voter.
The embassy or consulate will incorporate any changes into your administrative file and modify your records in the National Register. The National Register is the central database kept by the Belgian authorities. Amongst other things it lists the names of all Belgians registered in the population registers administered by a municipal authority in Belgium or a Belgian embassy or consulate abroad.
Each person whose name features in the population registers of an embassy or consulate is entitled to access and rectify their data (both the details listed in the population registers and those inscribed in the National Register). For more information on this subject, please contact your respective Belgian embassy or consulate.
