Reviews of this property
The very good neighbourhood (to the centre 5 km on foot). Comfortable apartment and all according to the offer. Stately recommendations the place.
Gregory and Lucy
Bardzo dobra okolica (do centrum 5 km pieszo). Apartament wygodny i wszystko zgodnie z ofertą. Godne polecenia miejsce.
Grzegorz i Lucyna
The apartment is clean, spacious and well equipped. It is also nicely decorated. It is a bit far from the centre, but the advantage is the easiness to take public transport. The neighbourhood is residential, so we did not find interesting places to visit around. There are supermarkets and a very nice shop where you can buy typical products such as ham and cheese. There also some little markets for fruits, meat and vegetables. For the tough days, it was a little tiring the transportation, but we did not regret our choice. We had a very nice stay!
The apartment is very nice and clean and have good connection between buses and tram (no.8) to visit the city center.
Very good! Very nice apartment, and in a good area to get to the center in a few minutes by bus .. Really pleased with the availability and also the professionalism of the owner .. Recommended!
Ottimo!!! Appartamento molto bello, e in una buona zona per raggiungere il centro in pochi minuti con l'autobus.. Davvero soddisfatto anche della disponibilità e della professionalità del proprietario.. Consigliato!!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice location, a bit outside central Rome, but easy transport just outside the door.
The terrace in the back, has nice sun in the morning, and is relatively quiet.
The welcome was very helpfull, and really tried to accomodate our needs in any way.
Fine place in a working-class neighborhood.
Shops and markets nearby, bus 719 to metro station Ostiense stops at the door. Within half an hour you sit in the middle of the city.
The apartment is in accordance with the information shown.
We had a wonderful week in Rome.
Prima plek in een volkswijk.
Winkels en markt vlakbij, de bus 719 naar het metrostation Ostiense stopt voor de deur. Binnen een half uur zit je middenin in de stad.
Het appartement is conform de getoonde informatie.
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in Rome.
Hey, better late than never, as far as the review! We liked the studio liked it. The location is not really central, but with buses etc. you can move very well in Rome. Nearby are good shops, small market and shops. Also a few good restaurants!
Hallo, lieber spät als nie, was die Bewertung angeht! Uns hat das Studio gut gefallen. Die Lage ist nicht wirklich zentral, aber mit Bussen etc. kann man sich in Rom sehr gut bewegen. In der Nähe sind gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, kleiner Markt und Geschäfte. Auch ein paar gute Restaurants!
Very nice apartment, loved the marble floors and big bedroom. The outdoor area was perfect to have a few drinks in and the kitchen was well equipped. Transport was great once we got used to it. Internet was slightly annoying as it wasn't available in the whole house and cut out occasionally. Overall, a superb place to stay.
Nice and clean large apartment. Location bus stop outside supermarket in the vicinity. Here I would like to go there again.
Mooi en schoon groot appartement. Ligging bushalte voor de deur supermarkt in de nabijheid. Hier zou ik zo weer heen gaan.
We have enjoyed the apartment, all comfort is in home, good beds, excellent bathroom, all days market around the corner with delicious fresh food, the bus before the house, and the the tram (8) brings you very easily in the Centre of Rome. From the tram (gionicolense) it is even possible to come back to run again at the apartment.
All in all a good recommended, we had beautiful weather and could have breakfast on the terrace in the Sun every day. delicious!

(2) bootstrap "dprobit y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x7 x8 x9 x10 ...

The variables in (2) above include dummies and interctions with dummies.

It is always worth including examples of the invalid syntax you used.
I doubt that the explanation of your problem lies in the direction you are looking. The error message you got would be normally be produced well before trying to apply the -regress-
command. However, without indications of what you actually typed it is difficult to help further.

Hi - I am trying to estimate a probit model with lots of

Stata keeps returning "invalid syntax" when I include all the independent variables. However, when I include only a few variables, it works. Does anyone know whether or not there is a limit to the number of variables one can include in a regression when one uses the bootstrap command?

Graduate Admissions Exams
General Information
Graduate programs usually require at least one admission test, and some require additional subject tests. Allow ample time to prepare for and take the tests needed for admission; include in your planning the time it takes for scores to be sent to the graduate institutions of your choice. Note registration deadlines for each test date and plan to send your registration early; test sites fill up quickly in the fall.
There are several examinations used in graduate school admissions:
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
General Test
Most graduate schools for arts and sciences require the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) General Test. The General Test contains verbal, quantitative, and writing sections. The general test is available only at a designated testing facility and must be taken on a computer.
Subject Tests
The Subject Test measures knowledge of a particular subject area and are only required for admission to specific graduate programs. Refer to each individual program to determine whether or not you need to take a subject test. Subject Tests are paper and pencil.
GRE Registration deadlines can be at least six weeks in advance.

Arsenal's Double Club Language Scheme was recently honoured at the European Commission's first 'European Language Label of the Labels Awards' for demonstrating outstanding performance in promoting the teaching and learning of languages.
The Arsenal Double Club was nominated for the best UK Language Project of the last 10 Years by CfBT Education Trust, a UK charity providing education services for public benefit in the UK and internationally.
This success comes on the back of the scheme earning the title of Best UK project in 2008 and Outstanding Commitment Award for 2010 awarded by CILT, The National Centre for Languages.
The nomination and final shortlisted awards were presented to representatives of the projects by Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, at the 'Multilingualism in Europe' conference in Limassol, Cyprus. It was one of nearly 500 events taking place across Europe to mark the European Day of Languages.
Mrs Vassiliou paid a visit to Arsenal earlier this year and met with Arsenal's Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Gazidis, who showed the Commissioner some of Arsenal's work in its local community.
Arsenal's Double Club was originally devised in 1998 to improve pupils' numeracy and literacy skills by using the Club as a hook to engage young people who require additional support at school. The 45-minute classroom sessions using football and Arsenal-themed exercises and resources are followed by a 45-minute football coaching session.
The scheme has grown over the years to incorporate a wide variety of school subjects - including modern languages - which includes video content of Arsenal players speaking in their native tongue to aid the sessions and motivate and engage young language learners.
The UK judges said: "The context of football is relevant all over Europe, the project is high profile, it brings together 'real life' and education, it raises awareness of languages, internationalism and mobility, it interests youngsters as it's cool and it's replicable. It definitely has the European dimension and it has had a very broad impact."
Alan Sefton, head of Arsenal in the Community, said: "We're incredibly proud to receive this recognition for our language scheme. We understand the power the Arsenal name has to reach young people in a special way and through the Arsenal Double Club initiative we use this influence to engage young people who need extra encouragement in certain areas."
Since it began, 8,532 pupils from 372 schools have taken part in the Arsenal Double Club Languages programme for French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

Side note, I'm done watching ESPN nowadays because of their ridiculous lack of integrity, so I may be out of the loop on stuff like that. Their publications are still okay, but they are seemingly only interested in fabricating stories for ratings or presenting opinions to incite a crowd on the network. It's sad.

Very well situated apartment for 4 to 5. Would happily stay there again on my next trip!
Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
The apartment is small but cozy and comfortable. The portal and the stairs are a little old, but inside were fine. A quiet and very good location site.
El apartamento es pequeño pero muy acogedor y cómodo. El portal y la escalera están algo viejos, pero en el interior estuvimos muy bien. Un sitio tranquilo y con muy buena localización.
We really liked the apartment. It was located very central so we went to Notre Dame, the Louvre and elsewhere walk. We next several restaurants and a well stocked supermarket where Nicola greeted us warmly.
Nos gusto mucho el apartamento. Estaba situado muy en el centro por lo que fuimos a Notre Dame, el Louvre y otros lugares andando. Teníamos al lado distintos restaurantes y un supermercado bien surtido donde Nicola nos atendió con cariño.
The apartment is well located, about 50 meters from Notre Dame, very clean and spacious. Anecdotally say that missing some cutlery and pans were not good for the hob. Otherwise great.
El apartamento está muy bien ubicado, a unos 50 metros del Notre Dame, muy limpio y espacioso. Como anécdota decir que faltaban algunos cubiertos y las sartenes no servían para la vitroceramica. Por lo demás estupendo.
Dear Sirs,
I am still waiting for a message from our hostess regarding the key conservation and relating to your satisfaction with the state of the apartment after the end of our stay.
Following I will tell you my opinion.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich warte noch auf eine Mitteilung unserer Gastgeberin bezüglich des Schlüsselerhalts und bezüglich Ihrer Zufriedenheit bezüglich des Zustands der Ferienwohnung nach Abschluss unseres Aufenthaltes.
Im Anschluss werde ich Ihnen meine Beurteilung mitteilen.
Well it located. But we got only one set of sheets and small towels for 13 days. The coffee maker did not work with the capsules we buy. We write about all this but nobody answered us. And we did not see anyone on the property at any time
Bien situado. Pero nos dieron sólo un juego de sábanas y unas toallas pequeñas para 13 días. La cafetera no funcionaba con las cápsulas que compramos. Escribimos sobre todo ello pero nadie nos respondió. Y no vimos a nadie de la propiedad en ningún momento
Everything worked perfect.
It was easy to pick up the keys, and we were very satisfied with the appartement.
It was well ecuiped with all what we needed.
It was very closed to everything, the baker, shops with food and cafe's.
We can highly recommend this appartement.

Press Review:Led Zeppelin Bring on the Light and Sound
LED ZEPPELIN brought its unprecedented sound-light spectacle to the Spectrum Saturday night, overwhelming a sell-out audience of some 20,000, with close to three hours of "heavy-metal" rock'n'roll.
The four-man British band - in the midst of an Ameri¬can tour, which will reportedly gross in excess of $5 million – has been preeminent among rock's high-energy supergroups for almost six years. Now, augmented by a system of lighting and amplification higher in wattage than any mounted previously. Led Zeppelin seems to have outdone itself in sheer mind-zapping gut-wrenching intensity.
The keystone of that intensity – and of Zeppelin's music in general - has always been the protean guitar playing and consummate blues-rock songwriting of leader Jimmy Page. Apparently recovered from an injury sustained before leaving Britain, when a train compartment door slammed on his left ring finger, Page is extraordinary as ever, and Saturday night he pulled off his virtuoso repertoire of searing, pinpointed licks, and apocalyptic chordings and classic guitar-hero postures with undaunted elan.
Lead singer Robert Plant, he of the sensual swagger and honey-blond charisma, provides the visual and musical offset to Page's dominance. As usual, his singing – a trademark blend of shriekwail and heartbroken crooning – grew more commending as the night progressed (and in his customary note-for-note sparrings with Page's guitar), while the steady throb-and-pound of drummer John Bonham and bassist – occasional keyboardist – John Paul Jones anchored the music's unsettling modulations.
Performing a cross-section of new, recent and old material, Zeppelin assaulted its audience with such destructo-anthems as Dazed and Confused, Rock and Roll, the softly lyrical set-ups and explosive resolutions of Stairway to Heaven and No Quarter, the unfamiliar yet engaging dynamism of several songs from their upcoming Physical Graffiti LP. A highlight of the concert was Bonham's masterly fifteen minute drum solo – worthy of the standing ovation it received – with its other-worldly synthesizer effects.
As for the unprecedented staging, the mammoth sound system, as promised, provided superb separation, mitigating the nitro-volume with compelling clarity, the lighting – an awesome network of stagebound and remote spots – evoked startling, vividly hued, richly varied visual atmospheres, although the much-heralded laser beam played (from where we sat) an indeterminate role.

John the Ripper Multi-Core Setup
I'm running backtrack 5 r1 x64.
I tried using hashcat, and while it uses multiple cores and is very fast by default, it was only able to crack 1/3 hashes, whereas john was able to crack all 3 using the --rules option with its default rules. So if anyone knows a good rules file for hashcat (and maybe a tutorial), that would be useful as well.

DeZurik represents American Legion in Washington, D.C.
Ray DeZurik, a member of the Nisswa American Legion, was in Washington, D.C., recently lobbying for issues that affect American war veterans and the military.
DeZurik, Minnesota's National Executive Committeeman, was part of a delegation of 35 Minnesotans in Washington.
The delegation met with nearly every Minnesota representative and senator, and urged an agenda of veterans programs that Congress will be dealing with in the future.
Included in the lobbying efforts were:
n Sequestration. The American Legion supports a fiscally responsible government, but takes issue with cost cutting measures that will harm the nation's ability to defend itself.
n Military to Civilian Credentialing. American soldiers coming home are highly trained and skilled. They often find that their skills do not transfer into civilian occupations because of unfair certification processes There should be a seamless transition from military jobs to civilian jobs.
n Flag Amendment. A new bill has been introduced that would not call for a Constitutional Amendment, but would give Congress the power to prevent physical desecration of the U.S. Flag.
The delegation spent four days in Washington and attended informational sessions on critical issues. There are 87,000 members about 560 posts in the Minnesota American Legion.

This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1914 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading.. James published his first story, 'A Tragedy of Error', in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James's most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Once upon a time, Hooper, Utah, was a small, unremarkable rural community near Great Salt Lake. It looked much like any western settlement: friendly neighbors, plenty of space—and limited infrastructure.
In the 1990s Hooper began growing, and what was once a loose collection of houses separated by acres of farmland became a small town. Between 1990 and 2000 Hooper's population grew by 17%, to more than 4000, and it incorporated in 2000. Today, more than 5500 people call Hooper home, and the city continues to expand.
Although typical in many ways, Hooper is unique in geography and geology. Located in Weber County, it sits on essentially a peninsula in the Great Salt Lake, surrounded on three sides by wetlands. The terrain is extremely flat and the water table high.
Priority Problem
When it incorporated, Hooper became the largest unsewered city in Utah; almost all residents relied on septic tanks and drain fields for sewage treatment. A 2001 study conducted by the Weber-Morgan Counties Board of Health raised significant concerns about the amount of sewage and gray water entering the groundwater supply.
"The Board of Health study led to further investigation of the situation by Hooper's public works officials, and what they found was troubling," says Tracy Allen, PE, of Orem, Utah-based J-U-B Engineers Inc. Dozens of documented cases showed raw sewage or gray water entering the local waterways either directly or as a result of a septic tank overflow. This put Hooper at the top of the state's funding priority list.
The city formed a citizen's advisory committee in 2002 that authorized a sewer feasibility study. Conclusion: installing gravity sewers would be too expensive, both monetarily and aesthetically.
In cost projections for a gravity sewer, estimators had to allow for dewatering and installing foundation materials for the collection lines. Trenches about 20 to 25 feet deep would be needed in many locations to establish gravity flow, destroying several roads and existing utilities.
Designing a new sewer system was further complicated by the fact that some of the local real estate developers had created their own small sewer collection systems—all gravity, with small pumping stations—within city limits. Connecting the patchwork of sewers and integrating them into a master plan would add more costs.
Hooper's rapidly growing population and the need to eliminate sewage contamination of the groundwater added to the urgency. Also, the EPA's Phase II stormwater management program required towns like Hooper to reduce pollutants entering the stormwater outfall and, ultimately, the Great Salt Lake.
Gravity vs. Vacuum
Hooper decided to explore other options.
"The more we studied it, the more we realized that we could save a tremendous amount of money by installing vacuum sewers," says Allen.
Vacuum sewers are relatively easy to install, and because the collection mains do not require a continual down-grade slope, they can be buried in shallower trenches, from 4 to 6 feet deep. Vacuum collection mains are also smaller in diameter. This means faster installation, less heavy equipment, and no dewatering or trench boxes.

Gaffer expects Bradford to challenge
Kenny Jackett has backed Bradford to be in the promotion shake-up this season as Wolves prepare for a tough test at Valley Parade tomorrow (3pm).
The Bantams have carried on the success of last season – League Two play-off winners and Capital One Cup finalists – into the new campaign and are sitting in fifth position ahead of Wolves' visit.
And that is why the Molineux Head Coach is predicting one of Wolves' toughest assignments of the season.
"They are having a good season and will be in a positive place tomorrow," said Jackett.
"They have a big centre forward and will play off him with two good wide players
"They will get a lot of balls into the box and be strong at set pieces
"It will be a different challenge for us physically against a club and a manager I have a lot of respect for.
"Phil is a good guy – he did a very good job at Colchester where they got promoted to the Championship and then I think he left to go to Hull.
"He's an experienced manager and they had a tremendous season last year when you look at everything they did.
"And it's no surprise they have continued in similar form because the place would have been positive after such a good season, and also the potential for the club is there.
"Having been promoted they are the opposite of ourselves in mentally everything was very positive going into the summer and coming into this season.
"You look at the crowds they get and the stadium, it's one of the clubs in League One that is geared to go to the Championship.
"It's no surprise that that have done very well and I feel both Bradford and Rotherham would have enough capabilities to certain get themselves into the top six this season.
"By end of the season I am sure there will be there or thereabouts as one of the bigger clubs in this divison."
One of Bradford's chief threat is also a winger whom, during a loan spell at Wolves in the 2008/09 season, scored the goal which clinched the Championship title at Barnsley.
Kyel Reid has been in excellent form, and Jackett admits will give Wolves' full backs – likely to be Scott Golbourne and Richard Stearman – a good challenge.
"Reid has had a very good season for them," added Jackett.
"He's very quick and direct after a slow start to his career at West Ham as a kid and at Charlton with Phil.
"He's dropped down a couple of levels and it looks like he's on the way back up.
"So for Richard (Stearman) it will be a big test.
"There have also been times when they put Reid on the other side cutting inside on his left foot so both our full backs are going to have to be on top form and midfield-wise, make sure we double up on him.
"But I'm very confident Richard will do a good job.
"Generally anyway those five guys have filled the back four positions or a combination of them, and, when you put Carl Ikeme into that as well, it's been quite a good department for us.
"It's not just the goals against column, but when you look at them on the ball, the boys at the back have done well and they continually look to improve.
"It's good that we've got someone like Richard to come in."
Staying on the subject of defenders Jackett has revealed that both Kevin Foley and George Elokobi are unavailable for selection through injury, but should resume training next week.
"Foley is injured at the moment – as is Elokobi," he explained.
"Foley got an ankle injury in the Notts County game and Elokobi got a knee injury a few days after that.
"So neither of those were available on Tuesday or tomorrow but both should be training in the early part of next week."
And as Wolves look to try and keep in touch with the hot pace set by Sky Bet League One frontrunners Leyton Orient and Peterborough, Jackett says there would never be a bad time to gatecrash the division's top two.
"We haven't been in the top two yet this season but we want to try to earn automatic promotion so we want to be in there if we can," he said.
"I don't think it's ever too soon to get in there – if you could be top from day one right to the end, you would."

Despite the well-known saying "Less is more," I'll admit that — most of the time — for me, more is more. I try to curb my spending, I do my best to curb my consumerist impulses, but the fact is: I like stuff. It's hard to avoid, particularly in the US, even in the middle of a recession.
Well, maybe it's too late for me, but at least I can start encouraging my kids to consider the idea. Here are three (new and upcoming) picture books that illustrate the principle "Less is more." The first is a pretty straightforward illustration of having too much; the second deals specifically with our addiction to screens; and the third is a little more abstracted but I think serves as a nice illustration of the idea.

2013 Global-Market Ford Ranger First Drive
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Ford had a plan when it pulled the Ranger off the North American market last year. It all made sense to kill the Ranger off without offering up a comparable replacement, especially since sales had been sliding for over a decade. Instead of introducing the new T6 Ranger, the same one that 180 other countries around the world gets, Ford bet on Stateside in-market owners to take the step up into the full-size F-150. However, there was a minor issue with that strategy. Those looking to replace their old Ranger aren't taking to Ford's plan. Instead, some are looking to other similar-size offerings from Toyota and Nissan while others are hanging on to what they have.
Even with dwindling sales, the Blue Oval Boys were subjected to an excess of criticism and that's still being heard a year later. Ford staunchly defended its decision to axe the Ranger in the United States and Canada, though, while stating that hopes were high for the global version. This only added insult to injury for those who couldn't get their hands on a new Ranger. Making things worse, Ford tested the Global Ranger's durability, altitude, and towing capabilities in the States. Even still, the Dearborn-based automaker reiterated that sagging sales as well as a similar chassis size and price tag to that of the F-150 led to the decision of excluding the new Ranger from its North American lineup.
It's no secret that the midsize pickup truck segment is shrinking, with only the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier currently available in North America, but reinforcements are rumored to be on the way. The redesigned Chevrolet Colorado has been confirmed to live on in North America and is supposed to resurface later this year. With this announcement, General Motors has a golden opportunity to pick up the top-selling midsize pickup mantle left behind once the North American Ranger exited the market. Ford hasn't said whether the Ranger will return or not but whispers say it will see how GM fares once it releases the Colorado back into the wild. For midsize pickup shoppers, who are notorious for picking a truck that best suits their needs instead of going bigger just because, this is a good sign.
In the meantime, the 2013 Global Ford Ranger continues on with three different engine choices, a 2.5-liter Duratec 25 inline-four, a 2.2-liter Duratorq inline-four, and a 3.2-liter Duratorq inline-five. Each of which can be mated to a five- or six-speed manual transmission as well as a six-speed automatic gearbox. Both 4x2 and 4x4 capabilities are available on the new Ranger, too. For our drive with the 2013 Global Ford Ranger, we were given a 2.5-liter Duratec 25 inline-four, partnered with a five-speed manual transmission to produce 175-horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. The double cab configuration is good for 42.7 cubic-feet of cargo space and the T6 Ranger's bed yields 10 separate tie-downs. A wide rear window made it effortless to see behind the T6 Ranger and if you're carrying cargo in the bed, it's easily in view as well.
At 211 inches long, the Global Ford Ranger Crew Cab is 8 inches shorter than the North American variant with the same configuration. The T6 Ranger Crew Cab checks in at 72.8 inches wide while the Ranger Crew Cab that just left the North American market had 69.4 inches of girth. North America's Ranger Crew Cab featured a wheelbase of 125.9 inches while the T6 Ranger Crew Cab's wheelbase stretches out to 127 inches. Despite the Global Ranger's measurements being similar to the North American version, the T6 felt more composed when taking a corner at speed. Handling also benefits from these proportions as it feels sharper and more responsive.
Inside, the 2013 Global Ford Ranger features similar ergonomics as the North American Focus sedan. The center stack is simple, sparse, and easy to interact with as only three climate control knobs and an AM/FM radio are present. Storage space is abundant in the T6 Ranger with two spots to stash a cellphone, wallet, or other pocket-size gear in the center stack alone. The instrument cluster is clean and well-organized with only the essential tachometer, fuel, oil temperature, and speedometer taking up space behind the steering wheel. A digital odometer sits below both the fuel and oil temperature gauges while being book-ended by the tach and speedometer.
Other midsize pick-up truck models still available in North America have a rear seat that's better served as storage space than a place to sit. The T6 Ranger, however, features a rear seat that's supportive and not uncomfortably upright. Space is abundant inside the Global Ranger and rear legroom can accommodate a full-grown adult. The one major issue we found with the 2013 Global Ford Ranger though was that the clutch, brake, and gas pedal were positioned too close together. When attempting to row through the gears, we accidentally tested the seatbelts simultaneously as it was nearly impossible not to step on both the clutch and brake at the same time.
There's no denying that the North American midsize pickup truck segment is currently experiencing a reduction in size. In-market owners don't have much to choose from when it comes time to replace their ride. No matter what Ford thinks, Ranger owners have already shown they aren't willing to make the jump into the F-150. So it appears we have a stalemate for the time being. Ford won't budge on bringing the Global Ranger to North America and midsize pickup owners won't migrate into something bigger. A possible return date for the Ranger could arrive soon after Chevrolet launches the redesigned Colorado though as Ford may want to see how its crosstown rival fares. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure, if the Global Ranger finally does make it to North America, we expect it to quickly ascend back up the ladder to take its normal spot at the top of the midsize pickup heap.

'Big Stone Gap' movie to begin filming
BIG STONE GAP, Va. - When Adrianna Trigiani wrote her best-selling novel Big Stone Gap and its three sequels, she wanted to shoot a movie of the same name in her hometown.
Now a host of big-name movie makers and stars like Ashley Judd and Patrick Wilson are making their way into the region to make her dream come true.
A beautiful mountain valley and a quiet Southern Appalachian town full of characters -- a perfect setting for a novel. That's what Adriana Trigiani thought when she published Big Stone Gap back in 2000.
With a rousing welcome home, the hometown girl announced her plans for shooting a movie of the same name.
She told us how important it is to shoot it here. "It's really important to us to make this movie here. Every frame is being shot in Southwest Virginia, East Tennessee and a little bit in Kentucky. Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee; it's all there because that was my dream, to film at home," Trigiani said.
But it's taken that dream over a decade to become a reality.
With help from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Virginia Tobacco Commission, money was made available to begin shooting. "We're filming it here because of the people and maybe for the people, but really because of them. This is the inspiration of the art. It ain't going to get any better than these vistas, it doesn't and I hope I'm the first of many who come and make movies," the author says.
That's what many who came to hear her talk are hoping. For two of the locals who will appear in the movie, it's been a long wait. "She has given us a gift that we had better take advantage of. She has given this region its day in the sun," Big Stone Gap native Jack McClanahan said.
"When she indicated that she was coming down, that it was going to happen here, she reached out to Jack Mac and me. She said, 'We'd like you guys to be in the movie.' I can't tell you how flattered I am to do that," former economic planner Ron Flanary added.
And do that the whole town will do, with filming set to begin this Saturday.
If you'd like to get involved send an e-mail to email@example.com.

The Last Windrow: The lowly corn cob
Back in 1998 I wrote a column that actually won a "Best Columnist" award from the Minnesota Newspaper Association. Although I never have written this column to win anything, it is always nice to know that at least someone found my writing to be worth reading.
The following column was written in reverence to the lowly corn cob. A piece of the past.
"God Loved The Lowly Corn Cob"
I don't know what got me thinking about corn cobs one night last week. It could have been the projected blizzard that didn't come. I was busily stoking wood into our basement furnace in anticipation of a howling northwester, thinking of how warm the wood would keep my family during the storm. It was then I remembered my farm adventures with corn cobs.
We used corn cobs for about anything and everything. Those were the years when we still shelled our corn off the cob to feed livestock. Our corn was cribbed on the ear and later the kernels were removed either by cornsheller or by hand. Our hands would be rough and red after hand shelling a half bucket full of corn to feed our chickens. We busted the ears in half and threw bushel baskets full into feed bunks for waiting feeder cattle. Hogs were fed full ears on the feedlot floor, where they munched on them with relish.
The leftover cobs were a staple for many farm families. We filled our basements full of cobs, the leftover remnants of corn shelling and we fueled both our furnace and cookstove with them. I remember always having a "cob basket" sitting next to our kitchen stove. The cobs burned with an almost gas-like blue light and provided an even, humid heat to the kitchen during the winter months. The "cob basket" was also the temporary depository for the un-plucked pheasants and un-skinned rabbits that I brought home for eating. It was not unusual to have half a basket of cobs and half a basket of game sitting on our kitchen floor.
There are lots of stories about how we used corn cobs. Yes, there were some who used them in the outhouse in place of toilet paper. I tried them a couple of times and I think that is why I still walk around with a certain gait. I personally think corn cobs were much overrated in the outhouse. I much preferred the husks!
We used corn cobs to bed our livestock, as plugs in the ends of waterlines, for fishing bobbers, for shotgun and rifle target practice and even for baseball hitting practice. I always had trouble hitting a curve ball.
One afternoon my dad took me out behind the corn crib, stood me beside a chunk of wood with a baseball bat in my hands and proceeded to fire corn cob after corn cob across that would-be home plate. By the end of that exercise of swinging at hundreds of swerving cobs, I could finally hit a curveball. Try to hit a pitched corn cob sometime and you'll see what I mean.
My grandad planted potatoes in old corn cob piles and raised some of the biggest, most perfectly formed potatoes I've ever seen. The cobs held just the right amount of moisture and provided proper drainage for the tubers to grow to their fullest.
Today's efficient combines don't leave much of the corn cob behind as they make their rounds. Most cobs are now shattered and scattered to provide nutrient for next year's crop. Our fields were scattered with some ears of corn that escaped the picker. Pheasants, squirrels, rabbits and crows made a living during the late fall and winter months picking and gnawing on the unharvested grain. If you found a corn cob with half the kernels missing, you would take the safety off your shotgun.
The lowly corn cob played a large role in the lives of farm families everywhere in the not-to-distant past. Funny how such a common, simple item could mean so much. They were certainly gifts from God!
See you next time. Okay?

Okay, I've had my rants (here and here) about comics being serious literature but those were really more about being pedantic than the actual appreciation of comics. So I started compiling my lists and thinking about which titles I'd want to include in a list of "serious comics," and … time got away from me. I found myself devouring some really great comics, some serious and some less so, and I didn't feel like slowing down to write about them.
When I was in high school and our English teacher was always talking about "literary merit," my friends and I decided that the two main indicators of literary merit (based on the books we were assigned) were length and death. The longer the book, and the more people died, the more literary merit. Old Man and the Sea? Kind of short, relatively speaking, and not much death (unless you count the marlin and some sharks): questionable literary merit. The Great Gatsby? Not so long, but a good amount of death: yep, that's got literary merit. Tess of the d'Urbervilles? Really long, important people die: loads of literary merit. Oh, right — and of course it ranks higher if it's dreadfully boring, too.
Granted, that was a high schooler's point of view and I've certainly grown to appreciate reading works of great literary merit in addition to the pulpier selections on my bookshelf. In the world of comics, just as with novels or kids' books, there are some stories that transcend the realm of "hey, it's just entertainment" and become Serious Literature. I'm not saying that they can't include a few laughs (though some are solemn), but that you can tell there's something under the surface, whether through the subject matter or the language or the artwork.
And here's the best part: there's a lot of them. I'll share some of my old favorites and recent discoveries with you over the course of a few posts, but I guarantee you that there are so many more that I haven't read (or even heard of) yet, and I'm counting on you readers to fill in the gaps on my own shelves.

Hi everyone,
Below is info that I wrote sometime back:
Hi all,
Here is a post from Dee to Bio bee:
I went to my notes and books on handling AFB and wax to re-read the
TWO schools of thought for handling. Of course you have probably noticed we
are from the school of " not popular thought" and old fashioned in our ways,
but for some reason we are not having a problem with secondary diseases now
our bees are on a harmonious natural system (to us!) of beekeeping using
4.9mm foundation.
We are from the school of thought that AFB is the least of our problems. We
only saw it spread with trachael and varroa mites as the wave passed
through, but at the same time we were sizing down trying to run ahead of the
problem looking to bring our bees backonto a harmonious beekeeping system.
Knowing when we saw it we would recognize it because the mites and diseases
all would come under control naturally, as nothing was put on earth out of
balance originally.
Dr Jaycox used to talk about this and take frames of foul brood to meetings
to pass around for beekeepers to look at and smell so they could learn how
to handle. We would talk. I am fully aware of the fright stories of washing
clothes, sterilizing hive tools, bee equipment etc, that is overkill in a
modern world with it's various dopes not working in many cases. But we are
of the old school.
Now I do know that ONLY young larvae are susceptible to infection and they
later show AFB symptoms when their cells are capped. But you must remember
here that these are the symptoms, because for AFB to take hold it must be
eaten by these same young larvae. Spores on the surface of the hive,
woodenware, clothes of beekeeper, hive tools, combs etc are always there
just like ecoli on a counter top in a kitchen. They only get out of control
when the hive is out of control and therefore balance. Balance is
everything. Working from hive to hive should be of no concern if the
problems are cleaned up as encountered. So now here we talk Pav:
We do not burn boxes of combs for it wastes wax! We do not sterilize
everything in our path for that is overkill. We work bees to put them back
into natural balance. How? We merely pull the infection and shake the bees
off of the frames concerned. No more! and no less! Normally this means
shaking down the major part of a broodnest or all of a broodnest. Then the
combs ae brought in from the field for melting down and processing. It is
called recycling of wax then on.
Ed melts the frames of wax down into slum and wire brushes and hones the
frames down, cleaning the wires on the already wired frames for remounting
with newly made foundation. Now slumgum has little attraction to bees and
will not cause robbing and here is a difference. You do not let the frames
lay around for robbing of honey and pollen. Honey is extracted and then to
keep the bees from robbing out the pollen and honey left in the wets, the
combs are melted down in a hot water bath and made into slumgum.
Here it is held until sufficient quantity is reached.
Now what is slumgum? Slumgum is the residue remaining after the combs are
rendered in the hot water bath. It is composed of say cocoons (bees or even
wax moths or beetles, etc (dee getting current in mind here thinking about
others needs)) and detritus from the brood nest combs and is usually very
dark in colour. Now the slumgum Pav this way melted is very high in wax a
forms a hard solid cake when cooled in a deep wax pan.
Now Pav, slumgum from efficient wax rendering devices using hot water, steam
and pressure under water will destroy AFB spores and this was written up by
Drs Eckert and Shaw way back in 1960 even(so now we have three Drs talking
about our school of thought). But note of cauction Pav for they and others
also write that slumgum from solar wax melters may still contain viable
spores and though it is not attractive to bees, the slumgum from solar
melters (wax here Pav) should be destroyed.
Now wax presses are not commonly available from be supply houses and in fact
the only one I know still selling them is Walter T. Kelly in Ky (but without
instructions for rigging up, for you can use the presses 2-3 different ways:
1) steam/pressure 2) hot water --both for processing wax and 3) for a
cappings seperator to save honey and process wax). We have two presses. One
rigged for under water baths for pressing slumgum in double sacked burlap
bags after chopping. The end result being the wax coming out and fertilizer
left (good use for remains); and one rigged for water jacket/steam
processing, pressing if necessary for honey wax seperation in the honeyhouse
for handling wet cappings.
The wax rendered is reused into foundation and though we process the AFB,
EFB, chaulk though, we now find it at a lesser rate of 1-2 percent using
4.9mm top tolerance foundation and 1-2 % is natural in Nature for a level of
infestation and I think even in NZ one could do no better with all the
stringent controls you have there.
Also, Pav, anyone is welcome to look at our bees to see the mites under
control and secondary diseases also on a natural harmonious system. They can
check hive after hive and frame after frame so they can get to know what a
clean system looks like without the influence of the various dopes used for
control that sooner or later play out.
Best regards
P.S. The temp for water is sustained for 12 hours minimum at no less then
190F not counting bringing the load up to that heat which then adds to the
time, so figure at least 14-16 hours per load. Also following this the wax
is reheated to dip and sheet to make foundation, another story!

text: In the US, you don't have to prove that you're credit worthy to get government backed student loans. As another poster said, this is because historically, it was a good bet for lending institutions to give loans to students, as they'd get that money back in most cases, and for the rest, they'd cover via the interest charged to all lendees. In addition, the government backed students loans are guaranteed by the US government. Private student loans are not, but things like the Stafford are. US students cannot use federal financial aid to pay for degrees they get abroad. However, they can use private student loans to do so. And as you said, the cost of foreign masters degrees is significantly less than those from a US university. For example, I looked at a specific masters in the US. The unis around me offer it for about $80,000 total tuition, not including living expenses. If I did it from the U of Leicester in the UK, even paying international student rates, it would cost me $10,000 total tuition. Both his bachelors and his masters are from schools with poor reps in the NY area. I'm sure that's not helping him. As has been said, you've hit the nail on the head. Debt of this size requires private student loans. Private student loans require a co-signer, which will normally be your parents. If you die, and don't pay this debt off, your co-signers are responsible for it. In fact, a lot of financial advisors advise parents who co-sign to take out life insurance on their student, in an amount that would cover this debt should the student die.

Joe Corvo knows he may be battling for his spot in the Bruins' lineup
|02.28.12 at 12:17 pm ET
Monday's defensive additions made Joe Corvo's job a lot less safe. He knows that.
In the weeks leading up to the NHL's trade deadline, it was clear that the Bruins would benefit from adding a defenseman to potentially upgrade Corvo's spot in the lineup. Corvo's first (and likely last) season with the B's has been a disappointment, as he just three goals and 19 assists for 22 points, a step backwards from his 11-goal, 40-point campaign a season ago with the Hurricanes.
On Monday, the Bruins added two defensemen who could compete to take away Corvo's minutes once Johnny Boychuk is healthy. The most likely candidate is shot-blocking wiz Mark Zanon, with the other addition coming in the form of local boy Mike Mottau. Corvo normally plays on the team's second pairing with Dennis Seidenberg, but Seidenberg and Zanon, who was second in the league last season with 212 blocked shots, would create a shut-down pair for the B's.
"You definitely count the numbers and figure out that somebody's got to sit," Corvo said. "'¦It just depends on how everybody's playing."
Corvo admits that he hasn't performed as well with the B's as he had hoped when the team acquired him over the summer. He's a free agent at season's end, and spending the stretch run as a healthy scratch wouldn't exactly boost his stock once he hits the open market.
"I think I'm old enough to the point where you just play and not worry about [what it means for my next contract]," Corvo said. "You worry about that stuff in the summer time. It's been obviously a slow year, but I feel like I've been making strides lately and playing well, so that's all I'm concerned about, is just playing well and feeling good about my game."
Corvo knows Mottau well, as the two were roommates for the World Junior Championships in Finland back in 1998. Now, Corvo knows Mottau may be here to take his job.
"I've seen him over the years, too. I feel like I've known the guy my whole life, just because I've been at USA camps with him and stuff," Corvo said. "I know what kind of guy he is. He's awesome, awesome to have in the room. I'm excited to have him here. Maybe it creates a little competition within the D core to be sharper every night and to be accountable, so it's good."
Corvo has also been in the news recently for the headshot he took from Kyle Turris in Saturday's meeting with the Senators. The lack of suspension surprised a lot of people, including Corvo, who went off after hearing the news.
'That's ridiculous," he told reporters Monday. "I think if you look back at the game before [in Boston Jan. 31], I hit him clean in center ice. I made it a point not to get my elbow up in his face. But apparently he didn't give me the same courtesy.
'So, let's just say I'll be looking for him right off the bat.'
Added Corvo: 'Two days of walking around, I've got a headache. Just because I didn't lie on the ice and get carted off or miss a period '¦ I don't know. It doesn't mean that it wasn't a cheap shot. In my opinion, I think he saw my numbers and he took the opportunity to seek revenge from the game prior.
'Hopefully he's a man and he's going to step up tomorrow when I come after him. I'm not going to try and hurt him, I'm going to try to fight him.'
On Tuesday, Corvo did a little backpedaling, saying that he had "foot-in-mouth syndrome" when he reacted to the lack of suspension.
"It was just a situation where I said to much and maybe put my individual priorities over team priorities, but I haven't seen the hit," Corvo said.
The blueliner is feeling better after having headaches the last three days. He'll be in the lineup vs. the Senators Tuesday, so look for him to make good on his words and find Turris.

Watching the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates debate this week in New Hampshire leaves an uncomfortable but undeniable impression: the Democrats, for all their individual imperfections and collective gamesmanship, are nonetheless trying to come to grips with a challenging and very real world. The Republicans, on the other hand, are operating in a bubble: a political world that bears as little relationship to reality as that artificial television concoction Survivor.
Only the impossibly long-shot libertarian Republican, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, appeared to be living on the same planet as the nearly 60 percent of Americans who believe the war in Iraq was a terrible mistake. The rest of the GOP field has not only drunk the Kool-Aid, they are still savoring it and testifying to its misunderstood complexity.
There is a reason for this perverse delusion. Bush recaptured the White House on the strength of two big lies: that Iraq was responsible for 9/11, and that invading Iraq was central to continued national security. To question the legitimacy of the Iraq War today would be to deny the legitimacy of the Bush regime and, thus, the legitimacy of his party's right to govern. It is no surprise that — to varying degrees and with varying caveats — the crew of GOP hopefuls favored pardoning "Scooter" Libby, Vice-President Cheney's former chief of staff who, earlier on the day of their debate, was sentenced to 30 months in jail for lying to investigators about the unmasking of one-time covert CIA employee Valerie Plame. Libby, of course, is a fall guy for the White House conspirators who planned Iraq; the federal prosecutor who nailed him overreached, as prosecutors too often do, and the judge handed down an overly harsh sentence untempered by the larger context. But it is that context — the fact of the war and its basis in a lie — that all but one Republican sought to obfuscate.
The slick assurance with which former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani support Bush's war is either supremely stupid or debasingly cynical. McCain's insistent support for the troop surge can only be construed as certifiably delusional.
Those Democrats who are understandably disturbed by New York senator Hillary Clinton's refusal to apologize — until relatively recently — for supporting Bush's initial Iraq strategy should keep this in mind. A vast and measurable gulf separates the Republican from the Democratic candidates.
The Democrats — be they leader or laggard — are trying to come to grips with real-life problems; their struggles to do so, not surprisingly, raise more questions than the candidates can satisfactorily answer. At least for now.
The Republicans, meanwhile, politely pirouette inside their shiny bubble, with disagreements about immigration making a cameo. Voters were foolish enough to put the Republicans in the White House in the two most recent national elections. It is not a forgone conclusion that it will not happen again.

when I bought my hives they had some homey in then,it was several yrs old. I added some in june when i caught a swarm, I have 3 frames left..So I checked my hive this week (only the top box) and frames 1&10 had nothing ,but were covered with Bee, 2& 9 full of pollen, 3&8 1/2 pollen and 1/2 honey, 4-5-6-7 all honey. so I took out 1&10 and added 2 frames of honey ...? is should have I moved the pollen to the outside and put the honey at 3&8 ?
also today it turned cold again (29 the high ), I have a screened bottom board with a plywood slide I can pull out and by the debris on the outside edge I can see they are really working those added frames even in the cold.

Has anyone been successful introducing a new mated queen into a queenless hive by dabbing honey all over her and letting her run into the hive? I just tried it and hope it works. John
I don't know if you were joking or not, but that made me laugh.
if you're serious... i don't know the answer to that
You took the exact words right of my mouth Dynasty to a tee.
jmgi if you actually really did do that, keep us posted.
Truthfuly, I suppose what would happen is they would first eat the honey off her then ball her.:applause:
I did this with introducing a virgin into a queenless nuc just a couple weeks ago. Not my usual practice but it turned out ok. I put her on an outside frame with a handful of bees and by the time they were done cleaning her all was well.
Well I wasn't sure this wasn't a joke, but looks like it is not. Certainly would be a quick and easy way to introduce a queen but I thought very risky. I think I can see possibly the honey covering or masking the new queens pharmones until the honey on her has been eaten, but....... I don't know. I think I might had better stick to the more traditional method for the time being. I'm glad it worked for you.
John, it sounds like you've been reading one of my favorite books. No, I've not tried it myself, but Doolittle did it over a hundred years ago and wrote about it in his book, Scientific Queen Rearing as Practicaly Applied in 1889.
Just wanted to let you all know that I checked the hive that I introduced the honey covered queen into the other day and all is well, she is laying nicely. I don't see why this method wouldn't work most of the time, and I intend to use it until the bees show me otherwise. John
a word of caution when coating bees with liquids(spraying with sugar water or saturating with honey), they breathe through their sides so there is always a chance you could accidentally suffocate her, if you feel the need to spray anything, spray the frames or the inside of the hive with sugar water, the last thing you need is getting your bees wet and them dying from it.
I used a tiny model paint brush and just put honey on the top of her thorax, wings, and top of abdomen, its not like I dunked her in a jar of honey. John
I've done this, and had good luck. Not generally my first choice, but if you are not going to be able to Make it back to remove a queen cage and you have a mated queen handy it can be a good option.
the technique I was shown by a commercial beekeeper is to smoosh in a section of capped honey a bit larger than a quarter and drag the queen through like you are breading a cutlet.
I was reading about this method in "Better Queens" by Jay Smith. He was strongly against it. Yet, as Deknow says, if you know you can't get back in time it could be an option.
Right...if you can't get back to check, the queen might die in the cage.or not get released for one reason or another......by the time the hive is.queenless, they have no brood to raise a.new.one (she was in the cage) . If you do this kind of direct intro, at least if they reject her (and if they ha e brood) , they will still have the resources to raise a new one...remember that you are not planning to be back.for a.few.weeks, and you don't want to develop laying workers.....best case the queen is accepted and laying...worst case they get held.back a bit raising.g an emergency queen.
Why was Jay Smith against it? I'm sure there is a right and a wrong way to do it. All I know from 35 years experience is that bees love honey more than I do, and if you put in a queen with honey on her they are going to pay more attention to the honey than the queen. By the time they clean her up thoroughly they don't even remember that she is new. John
He said it wasn't a safe consistent way to do it. He gave an example where a customer bought queens from him, didn't want introduction cages and was using the honey method. He complained later when the majority of the queens weren't accepted. John, I have only 4 years experience, and am only relating what I have read. Adrian.

text: New BEEK but I've been studying for over 30 years. Started 3 hive from NUCs on the 4th of May. One hive is a top bar Octagon shape Warre style hive made from 2x10 cedar. Bees seem to really like it! My other 2 hive are Langstroth but with Warre quilts and roofs. Uncoventional, but it seems to be working well. Challanges here are the rain and not having a prominant nectar flow.
