I am also interested.
Having to move hives in the middle of a flow, b/c owner wasn't aware of conflicts w/neighbors/liabilities.
Better think it through & communicate well the realities. Being pressured by someone that doesn't know can be a MAJOR detriment to your schedule & profits.

I have NOT failed. I have only found many many ways that do not work!
I am also very interested.
At least 3 of us are still looking for such an agreement. Is there no one out there in Beesource with such an agreement? Thank you. -James
Here is a simple polination agreement it could be modified a little and do what you are looking for. http://www.ent.uga.edu/bees/pollinat...leContract.pdf
im assuming this would work?
I would be interested too but if we can't find a boiler plate then maybe we should discuss what should be in this agreement.

Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I think the landowner would want an arm and a leg to sign that agreement. Just thinking if I owned the land.
Regardless of what you write in any agreement the courts decide who is liable. I wouldn't bother with that part because the lawyer is going to sue everyone remotely connected.
I would have verbiage on pesticide usage and any knowledge there of.
I can't see a land owner providing water for your bees that sounds like a beekeepers job.
If it is an agreed route and access is provided I don't see any crop damage. I can't imagine a farmer planting an area that he told you to drive over. I don't see a land owner paying you for moving your hives no matter what the reason.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Daniel, as a landowner I would send you packing if you brought me this agreement, no way in heck I would sign such a thing. You put all the liability on the landowner and none on the beekeeper, if you want to be a beekeeper you have to man up and take some risks. I have bees on my land as well as three yards on other peoples with just a handshake, I understand that if something happened to those hives its on me not on the land owner, I ask for a 24 hour notification before spraying of anything harmful but I never had a problem.
I give you credit for trying but that is just too one sided. The land owner has no idea if you have hot bees or stingless bees in those hives so how can he take on the liability of your hives stinging someone?
Why would water even be mentioned in this agreement, if there is no water where you want to put them you haul the water in. I could go on and on but that agreement passed by the overthinkers a few too many times. Keep it simple and take some risk.
We call it a hand shake, and thats what we do, some honey will exchange hand. Help with the heavy lifting may happen as well, ask how you can help.
The "hand shake" works in most instances but not in this one. That is why I went searching for a sample agreement to begin with. The landowner in question here is insisting on it. -james
It's easy and a character flaw as I see it to do nothing but criticize what others do. Outperform or save your breath. The truth is Ace you would not do a thing regardless of what you think of yourself. you suggested a writing. I provided a start and you are only lame enough to pick at it. make up your mind about what you want or make it yourself.
Most of those criticizing it never even took the time to look at the links to other agreements otherwise it would be obvious where nearly every word came from. So just how much effort did you really put forth to do anything? None, nil, nada. Your opinion of my effort is given the same weight, so save it. I prefer my way of doing something than your way of doing nothing. Build on it or shut up. your Defeatists, Elitist attitude sickens me when in fact your actions reveal pathetic character and ability on your part.
My version may be full of needing corrections additions and alterations but it beats the hell out of your nothing.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Google found the contract below. It is available in Word format, here:
Since that format doesn't display well, I converted it to 2 .JPGs that are below. The link to the Word .doc file isn't "clickable", but you can copy-n-paste the link to retrieve the .doc file for editing.
The agreement is written from a pollination viewpoint, but since no money is changing hands, and there are no pollination performance standards included, it seems to me it would be suitable as a basic outyard agreement. And here's a link to the Indiana Honey home page:
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
The liability portion of the one I offered is probably more informative than anything. I am not sure how it works where others live but here if you have something on your property. you are liable for it. For example if I had you work on my car and for whatever reason something happened that someone else got hurt. The owner of the property is liable.
As for "Manning up" you can stuff the insult. But otherwise you are very short sighted to blind as to just what risk is being taken here. Say for example I place 5 hives on any property. I have just stuck several hundred to a few thousand dollars worth of hives, bees, frames, wax, honey and propolis under someone elses care. And now I am also going to assume any other portion of the risk. Get real.
IN regard to the water. At least in this location it is almost a given that water will not be available. also water will dry up from a basin ditch or other container in less than 24 hours. The issue of water woudl be a serious one and the land owner would either assume that responsibility or not have my hives. No way am I going to run around to every outyard every day to fill water troughs. Even a cattle tank would only hold water for about a week here. I know this is not usual for most of the country. SO alter the agreement to say you have the use of there well or water supply to provide water for the bees and make the trips yourself.
In the end I would suggest you at least consult an attorney as to who is liable for what in your area. And write the agreement accordingly. The contract is more of a tool that everyone understand what is what than a legal document that settles court cases anyway. Only a judge can rule on settlements and that is always true. NO agreement will ever protect you from being sued for example. But it does go a long way later when land owners start saying "well I thought this or that". Nobody is able to have selective hearing if a contract has been written and signed.
As for a hand shake, I remember when things where done that way. I don't do it that way any more except for friends. Otherwise there is a contract. I have learned the hard way that after the hand shake one person thinks the agreement is one way and the other thinks it was another way. For example I just lost $9000 worth of tobacco because the land owner did not do their part of the agreement. We actually bartered or paid for this service and now we take the loss because the other party did not do what we have already paid for. With growing things comes an inherent risk. Leaving things in the care of others comes with a risk. And the truth is, at least here, there is not a thing you can do about it. So I'm screwed for $9000 in tobacco that cost me over $2000 out of my pocket so far. Sorry but a hand shake no longer means much to me. to many people refuse to live up to the other half of a hand shake. and that is unwavering reliability they will do their part. It is more common to find the sort of people like the above that want to do nothing but ***** and complain about what others have done rather than do anything for themselves. It's the gutless person that just lets everyone else get it done So they can't be held responsible for anything. Lets see those better ideas fellas. I'm waiting.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I guess this Thread is about written contracts, so maybe I shouldn't comment, but I will.
I have no written contracts. I have 18 yards in NY and 8 yards in SC. I also provide pollination to one blueberry grower in NC and four apple orchards in NY and a cranberry grower in NY, all w/out anything down on paper.
I stick out my hand and agree to do what needs doing. I knock on a persons door and ask whether I can put bees on their land, tell them who I am and what I do, give them a jar of honey, tell them my criteria for a beeyard and go from there. Not interested? Thanks for your time. If you change your mind, here is my contact iinfo. Interested? I'll be bring some hives by, I'll be in and out regularly. You'll get some honey before the end of the year.
That's more or less how I do it. And, I believe, all of the beekeepers I know,and I know a number of beekeepers who own thousands of hives, those are the guys I hang out w/ and work w/, as far as I know, do something similar and have no written agreements. That, or we just don't talk about them. Maybe I should ask.
dixie, why does this person want something in writing? if one of my Landowners asked for something in writing I would be concerned. I wouldn't put a yard on their land or, if I already had a yd there, I would pull it out at the end of the year and not go back. Something makes me uneasy about this. I can't quite say why exactly, but it does. When I get a feeling that something isn't right, it usually isn't.
Find yourself another location. There are plenty of them out there.
If this person asked you to put bees there, don't pay them anything, not even honey. They invited you, you didn't seek them out. They are benefiting fromhaving the bees there. if you need another apiary, then that is different. You should pay, in honey, not money. If, out of the kindness of your heart you give them a jar of honey, they will expect it annually. They may even figure that they should get a percentage of your annual crop. Nip that in the bud. Set a policy standard. So much honey per yard for yard rent, if you sought out the location. Otherwise, the added pollination you provide them is their benefit, their yard rent. Otherwise, they should be paying you.
Those are some of my thoughts. I hope they are worth the reading.

Mark Berninghausen
What Mark said
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Mark, good point on who pays who. I actually thought about adding an alternative line on my example. The actually contract printed would have to have one line deleted before printing because one would say the beekeeper pays so much and the other would say the land owner pays so much. Otherwise both lines can simply be omitted. Lack of a payment agreement would hold up in court if nothing was said in a written agreement about payment. I also know that one for a fact.
So here is a hypothetical situation that could very likely happen.
You place 5 hives on someones property. They fall on hard times or ill health and for one reason or another move. Your hives are not going to be a big priority for them. So they leave the hives assuming you will find them at a later date. Keep in mind my location is world class for a transient population. So you show up and find at best the new person in charge of the land has locked the gate and posted no trespassing signs. They also claim your hives are theirs now. Or worse your hives have been either stolen or sold. Your handshake with a non existent person is not going to do much for you at that point. Some form of a document that you own the hives will. and yes a contract will be recognized by a court as legal ownership. It shows you had an agreement to place your property there. No court witnessed a hand shake and you saying they are yours and the other person saying they are not carry equal weight. You then have possession as the deciding factor. The person you face never shook your hand and at least here they don't care if they are ripping you off. Even if they know the hives are yours they will keep them because they can. and if you try to take them back they can have you arrested for grand theft.
Just some additional points to ponder in this discussion. By the way my points did not involve beehives, but they have actually happened. I have listened to the judge tell the real owner. Sorry there is not a thing I can do for you. the items are on their land. they belong to them. The judge knew who the things belonged to and still could not force the land owner to return them. I worked for three years for a company that rented 75 mobile homes. I was involved in dozens of evictions. I have seen possession and how it works in regard to ownership many many times. A tenant had until a certain date to remove their possessions. this time was set by a court. Once that date passed no one had any ability to enter the property and remove anything except the employees or agents of the company. Many times a friend of the ex tenant woudl show up saying something like. "I was supposed to come get the stereo I was loaning to my friend last week but didn't get around to it. So I'm here to get it now, can I get it" the answer was no. it was actually illegal for me to allow them to remove anything from the property. It happened all the time. Cars where left behind. furniture. money, you name it. And legally no one could touch any of it. It was not legal to take anyone's word that it was theirs. Not even the Ex tenants. it woudl set the company up to get sued had they allowed anyone to take anything because then the next person comes along and says it was theirs and we allowed it to be stolen.
All such things where taken to a storage unit. the rent was not paid on that unit and after the legal period of time it was all sold at auction.

Project Status:
Licensed; In Compliance Phase. Operational: Unit 1: June 1, 2006
Unit 2: July 26, 2006
Unit 2: July 26, 2006
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on December 15, 2004. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Jackalyne Pfannenstiel, Commissioner, Presiding Member
John L. Geesman, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Gary Fay
Key Dates
- April 29, 2004 - Applicant files appplication for a Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE).
- May 5, 2004 - Commission begins formal licensing process.
- December 15, 2004 - Energy Commission approves project.
- June 1, 2006 - Unit 1 on line and producing power.
- July 26, 2006 - Unit 2 on line and producing power.
On April 29, 2004, Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) filed an application for a Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE). RPU is seeking an exemption from the California Energy Commission's licensing requirements. If an exemption is granted, the applicant would need to secure the appropriate licenses and permits for the project from various local, state and federal agencies.
RPU proposes to build and operate a nominal 96 megawatt (MW) simple-cycle power plant on a 12-acre fenced site within the City of Riverside, California. This proposed facility is referred to as the Riverside Energy Resource Center (RERC) Project. RPU would develop, build, own and operate the facility. The proposed site is owned by the City of Riverside and is adjacent to the City's Waste Water Treatment Plant in a light industrial/manufacturing area. The Waste Water Treatment Plant is located on the west side of the Project and includes a 3.3 MW cogeneration facility. The two facilities would be cross-tied for both electrical power and compressed air. The power plant and associated administration building and warehouse would occupy approximately 8 of the 12 acres with the additional 4 acres reserved for equipment storage and construction parking.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

It was very nice to stay at Helena's "barock-castle". There was still enough space for oneself, I had a good sleep in that bed. Helena and her daughter are also very lovely people, and the apartment is very central. I can recommend staying with her, and I would do it again! Merci!
Staying at Helena's house is truly a great experience. The room is even more beautiful than in the pictures. Everything is clean and comfortable. Helena is kind and very discreet. The neighbourhood has many nice shops and organic food stores.
"We had a great time staying at Helena's place. Her cats were very friendly and it was great to let one of them (Max) into the room every so often to explore and play. This place is in a great location for transport, food and sights."

Arsène Wenger has challenged his players to continue their momentum on the road.
Arsenal travel to Carrow Road for Saturday's early kick-off as they look to extend their impressive run of four consecutive Premier League victories against a buoyant Norwich side.
The Gunners recorded their first away win of the season in an eight-goal thriller at Chelsea three weeks ago - and Wenger says building on that will be key.
"For a long time we were questioned on our away potential and we responded to that well at Chelsea," he told Arsenal Player.
"We have to do that again to show that we can be consistent away from home. Then we have another vital game against Dortmund so it is important to keep this run going.
"We know now that we can win away from home and we have another opportunity to show that.
"Until February [when the next international break arrives] the players can focus fully on the achievements of the Club," he added. "We need to be professional and be able to focus quickly on what matters for us.
"That means the targets we have. It's basically our professionalism that needs to come in and focus on what we want to achieve."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player.

Inmate Appears in Court
Prisoner Kills Correctional Officer
ORDWAY, Colo. - An inmate is in court. He's accused of killing a correctional officer in Crowley County.
The judge waived the advisement of a first-degree murder charge Tuesday.
Miguel Contreras-Perez is accused of stabbing Sgt. Mary Ricard at Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility last September. It happened in the kitchen. Lower-risk inmates were helping to prepare breakfast when authorities say Contreras-Perez stabbed and killed Ricard and critically injured another officer.
Contreras-Perez is serving a 35-year to life sentence for crimes of kidnapping and sexual assault with a deadly weapon. Those crimes occurred in El Paso County.
Members of the victim's family were in the courtroom Tuesday, but they did not want to speak on camera.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ditto to all that has been said. How wonderful of you to do this for her. Her smile says it all. Priceless. BrendaK
Be kind to yourself, by being kind to others. When you help others you help yourself.
How sweet! She looks very happy with it, as she should be - it's gorgeous, as is the quilting.
Being skinny isn't easy, so I gave up and opted for being sexy instead. (aunty acid)
That is beautiful and I know she will love it and think of you every day
What a wonderful thing to do for the lovely lady Rita! The quilt is magnificent! I love the fabrics you have chosen, it almost gives a lacy look because of the circles and swirling patterns in some of the fabrics.
Looks as comfy as a pair of well loved jeans. I just love it.
Wow that is a beautiful quilt.
Malega K.
Lovely quilt and such a nice gesture.
Patchwork Crazy!!!
An amazing story and such a beautiful quilt. You made me smile with your generosity.
Lisa Gibbs
Both are perfect...the quilt and the smile...
Jojos Nana, Carol
What a great friend you are!! That took a lot of work. The quilt is quite lovely and the sweet lady seems to love it so much. As my Granny used to say "Just one more star in your crown of Heaven"
Families are like old quilts....although they tend to unravel at times...each can be stitched back together with love.

As to value, that's a little tricky. Commemorative guns should be NIB to realize their full added value. If it's just a shooter, than it's basically worth what any shooter is worth. To the average person, a commemorative is worth little more than a regular gun in similar condition. Now, to a serious S&W collector looking to complete a collection - or someone that has a personal tie/relationship to the commemorative ( in this case to the Lynchburg, Virginia police department), the gun will be worth more.
Me personally the Lynchburg, Virginia police department commemorative is worth no more than a regular 66, maybe even less. I'd rather have the standard 66-2 in my safe than one that says Lynchburg, Virginia police department on it.
Engraving? Well that's a bit tricky as well. I have no knowledge of this engraver. Might be good, might be bad. Some people prefer factory engraving. Hand engraving can cost way more than the gun itself. Does it add value - usually - maybe - it depends. How good is the engraving? What style and type and coverage? What is the current condition of the engraving? What is the condition of the engraved gun? Just like commemoratives, to get the full value of the engraving the gun should be NIB.
Commemorative guns are a niche product. Engraved guns are a niche product. Non-factory engraved commemorative guns are really a niche product. A serious S&W collector might not want a non-factory engraved commemorative.
So what's it worth? Hell if I know.


text: I just bought my first truck (but my second Chevrolet)...2002 Silverado 2500 2WD. It's also my first dedicated CNG vehicle; this fuel is dirt cheap in Oklahoma and has been for as long as I ever cared to keep track (roughly the last 4 or 5 years). Long live the days when I have to bug other people to haul stuff. Preparing to be the guy that people now call up when THEY want to haul stuff. Ordered factory service manuals which should arrive any day. Hopefully there is plenty of help here for the inevitable strange questions and ideas that I may come up with. Thanks! Nic

date: 24 November 2011
embargo: For immediate release
Responding to comments made by the government today (Thursday) on the supposed cost of the TUC day of action on 30 November, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
'While the strike on 30 November will obviously cause disruption, the figures suggested by ministers are fantasy economics.
'This is the clearest sign yet that next week's Autumn Statement will be a damp squib and the government is using the strike as yet another desperate excuse.
'Blaming the weather, the royal wedding and now scapegoating hard-working teachers, nurses and dinner ladies for the UK's economic woes is pretty poor from a government that has presided over record unemployment and the weakest economic recovery for a century.
'Dedicated public sector workers take no pleasure in taking action next week but the blame for this strike lies squarely with the government for failing to engage in serious talks until unions decided on a day of action.'

Having endured quite a brutal winter, I know we're all anxious for Spring's arrival. The unusual sight of my lawn immediately sparked ideas for this year's landscaping updates. Bring the outdoors in with some indoor green thumb projects to get you in the mood for spring. Our inspired craft for this post comes from both The Kids Winter Handbook (J790.1 D761k) and Happy Times Together (J649.5 E581h) by Jo Englund. You'll need…
an old pair of hose/stockings (or knee high)
garden soil
alfalfa or rye grass seeds (rye is fastest growing grass)
scissors and rubber bands
googly eyes or buttons & chenille stems to decorate your caterpillar or pet
water in a shallow tray for a caterpillar or dish for a single "pet"
For a caterpillar, cut one leg off an old pair of stockings and for a single pet a shorter length will do. Scoop a spoonful or two of seeds into the stocking and top off with some soil. Alfalfa seeds will grow curly hair and grass will be spiky! Cinch with a rubber band or tie off with a knot. If making a caterpillar, repeat this process until you have 3 or 4 lumps. Place your pet in a tray or dish with the seeds at the top. Create a silly face using a hot glue gun to attach the googly eyes or buttons. Chenille stems can be poked right through the stocking for antennae. Add some water to the dish and place on a sunny windowsill. Keep your pet moist and you should see hair growing in about a week or so. Image courtesy of Candace Lindemann at Naturally Educated where you'll find a wonderful tutorial to follow.
If you're looking for a simple decoration for your Easter table, try making Rainbow Bouquets (page 52 of Happy Times Together). Purchase a bunch of white daisies or carnations and trim the ends. Assemble as many water-filled jars or cups needed to accommodate the number of colors you'd like to create and add a few drops of food coloring to each container. Set several stems in each jar and in a few hours you should begin to see a color change. Colors will deepen over several days. Arrange stems in one large bouquet, group colors in smaller vases or place an individual stem at each place setting. Use your imagination to create a beautiful table.
This week is spring break for Westlake City Schools. You may want to consider having a sunrise breakfast with the kids. Since the recent switch to Daylight Savings Time, sunrises have been bumped back to accommodate a later sunset. If your kids are early risers or if you want to try and keep them on their regular schedule, this could be a unique start to your day. This morning's sunrise was at 7:23 am and will inch back by a minute or two each morning until the summer equinox. Keep in mind some advantages to sunrises this time of year - the view is spectacular thanks to the bare trees, and they occur at a reasonable time. If you're feeling adventurous (and weather permitting), prep a basket of muffins or bagels the night before and in the morning, bundle up, grab a blanket or some camping chairs and settle into an east facing spot in the yard to enjoy the stunning arrival of a brand new day. To check sunrise and sunset times, go to www.timeanddate.com which also has information on moon phases, eclipses, equinoxes and lots of time and calendar related trivia.
Another harbinger of spring is Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22 this year. Many celebrations are scheduled throughout the area for the following weekend with the exception of EarthFest 2014 which takes place on Sunday April 13th at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds. Find more events in your neighborhood at http://cleveland.about.com/od/springevents/tp/Earth-Day-Events-In-Clevel... And the Indians home opener is Friday, April 4. Go tribe!

The average age of the world's population is increasing at an unprecedented rate. The number of people worldwide age 65 and older is estimated at 506 million as of midyear 2008; by 2040, that number will hit 1.3 billion. Thus, in just over 30 years, the proportion of older people will double from 7 percent to 14 percent of the total world population, according to a new report, "An Aging World: 2008."
The report examines the demographic and socioeconomic trends accompanying this phenomenon. It was commissioned by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, and produced by the U.S. Census Bureau. It was released today by the Census Bureau.
"The world's population of people over age 65 is growing rapidly, and with it will come a number of challenges and opportunities," said NIA Director Richard J. Hodes, M.D. "NIA and our partners at Census are committed to providing the best data possible so that we can better understand the course of population aging and its implications."
"An Aging World: 2008" examines nine international population trends identified in 2007 by the NIA and the U.S. Department of State ("Why Population Aging Matters: A Global Perspective [1]"). "An Aging World: 2008" contains detailed information on life expectancy, health, disability, gender balance, marital status, living arrangements, education and literacy, labor force participation and retirement, and pensions among older people around the world.
"Aging is affecting every country in every part of the world," said Richard Suzman, Ph.D., director of NIA's Division of Behavioral and Social Research. "While there are important differences between developed and developing countries, global aging is changing the social and economic nature of the planet and presenting difficult challenges. The fact that, within 10 years, for the first time in human history there will be more people aged 65 and older than children under 5 in the world underlines the extent of this change."
Highlights of the report include:
The report was prepared by Kevin Kinsella and Wan He of the International Programs Center in the Population Division of the Census Bureau. Research for and production of the report were supported under an interagency agreement with the NIA's Behavioral and Social Research Division.
"An Aging World: 2008" is available at www.census.gov/prod/2009pubs/p95-09-1.pdf [2] (PDF, 11.5M).
The NIA leads the federal effort supporting and conducting research on aging and the medical, social and behavioral issues of older people. For more information on research and aging, go to www.nia.nih.gov [3].
The NIH—the nation's medical research agency—includes 27 institutes and centers and is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

Hyatt Success Story
Cooking Up Success with Hyatt
In Florida, Hyatt Hotels Corporation has been commended for their proactive approach to training, hiring and promoting people with disabilities. Through a partnership with Florida VR and Hands on Education, Inc., the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay developed a two week company based culinary arts training program in June of 1998. The program includes 100 hours of "hands on" instruction over a two week period. The classes are limited to four students so that each person receives individualized training and support. Students are temporary employees of Hyatt and are paid for all hours during the training.
Hyatt's hands on training program has expanded in Florida to Orlando, Miami, and Sarasota and recently established new programs in three Hyatt hotels in the Washington, D.C. area with the D.C. Rehabilitation Services Administration. Hyatt is not only helping to train persons with disabilities, but the company hires graduates of the program and provides references to those individuals who seek employment opportunities in other culinary settings. Hyatt also hires people with disabilities in other areas of the hotel such as customer service, PBX (private branch exchange phone system), laundry and shipping/receiving. The company has served as a catalyst for hiring in other service and tourist related businesses.
There are many Hyatt success stories where individuals have been hired and have promoted within the company. One trainee, and now employee, is paraplegic and works as a chef from a stand-up wheelchair. One of trainees is a PBX operator who happens to be blind and there are several employees who are deaf now employed as cooks in various culinary settings. A young graduate from the D.C. program recently accepted a position as a cook with a cruise line; he wanted to travel and is now doing so with a salary of $17.00 per hour and full room and board.
These are just a few of the many positive outcomes that transpire when VR partners with great companies like Hyatt and community agencies such as Hands on Education. Although the training is only two weeks in duration, the experience and Hyatt's reputation prepares and qualifies graduates for careers in a variety of settings. More importantly, Hyatt chefs and human resource professionals are active partners in employment—acting as trainers and references on the behalf of students. It is a positive learning experience for students and Hyatt staff.
In 2007, the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation honored John Ficca of Hands On Education Services, Inc., with an award for his partnership with the VR agencies in developing and growing this important business based training program with Hyatt. Visit Hands On Education Services, Inc., for more information about this unique program and partnership with Hyatt.

Source: Adam Schefter on TwitterThe Ravens are reportedly nearing a deal with free agent ILB Rolando McClain.
After losing both Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe, the Ravens are hungry to add talent at inside linebacker. McClain, the No. 8 overall pick in 2010 that flamed out in Oakland thanks in large part to off-field issues, certainly fits the bill. He also has a tie to GM Ozzie Newsome, who also attended Alabama. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the two sides are scheduled to talk today "to see if they can iron out unresolved issues."
Related: Ravens
So, where are those guys who wanted to bring him in??
"Ravens ILB Rolando McClain was arrested Sunday evening in Decatur (AL) for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Eyewitnesses say police ordered McClain and several others to leave Pines Park after a large crowd had gathered. McClain refused and began "cursing" at officers, before being handcuffed, and bailing out of jail shortly thereafter. McClain has now been arrested three times in his hometown of Decatur since 2011. He needs to stop going back there for the sake of his livelihood, and perhaps his personal safety. Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome smartly guaranteed no portion of McClain's one-year, $700,000 contract. He will be released shortly."
I guess he is just trying to fill in for Ray Lewis in more ways then 1.... ZING
Spin that Webb young Davis
Yeah... I retract my interest in him joining the Giants. He'd have been in jail long ago if it wasn't for football.

I suspect we will know more today when Coughlin addresses media but I am expecting the worse that he is done for season and possibly playoffs.. Sorry to feel like doom and gloom but with Bradshaw it is just a matter of time before a major injury occurs and we lose him,. Allot of pressure on Wilson. Offensive line needs to step up and play like a superbowl offensive line so besides wilson other RB's who are filling in can hit huge holes. Unfortunate dilema is if Wilson gets more carries do you take him off of kickoff returns and move Hixon back there ?
If bradshaw can manage pain and be effective say with 8-10 carries a game we will be fine. But I do not know if he can do that as he was clearly very slow hitting holes after injury on Sunday..

Three-year-old boy drowns in Lake Edna
Family members found a 3-year-old boy unresponsive Monday evening, June 10, in the water of Lake Edna in Nisswa, according to the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities received a call around 6:30 p.m. that night, the department stated, and efforts to revive the child were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is unknown how the child ended up in the water. By phone, Sgt. Scott Goddard with the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department said the department is waiting on coroner's reports and is not speculating or giving statements on what led up to the incident, but foul play is not suspected.
Names and other information is not being released until the family has time to notify next of kin. Goddard said the family will be given as much time as they need before the department releases more information.
Goddard said authorities were at the residence, which he believed was year-round, within minutes of the call.
In addition to the sheriff's department, the Nisswa Police, North Ambulance, area first responders, Nisswa Fire Department and Lakes Area Chaplaincy responded to the scene.

Efstathios Michaelides
UTSA researcher to edit thermodynamics journal
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 16, 2008)--When the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics (JNET) embarks on its 36th year of publication, UTSA's Efstathios Michaelides will have a crucial role in shaping the journal's content. Professor and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michaelides has been named the journal's new American editor, effective March 2009.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics plays an important role in disseminating all of the information that scholars in our field should know about irreversible thermodynamics," said Michaelides, who has served on the journal's editorial board since 1998. "When I learned I had been named the journal's new editor, I was delighted. I received a fax from Berlin and replied back immediately that I would be happy to fill the position."
Michaelides will succeed current editor Ranja Narayanan, a University of Florida researcher who announced his retirement earlier this year. Once in his new role, Michaelides will work with the journal's editorial board and external reviewers to solicit, recommend and review articles for publication.
Michaelides' career includes nearly 30 years of research in thermodynamics and related topics at various universities in Texas, Louisiana and Delaware. Additionally, he has published 117 journal articles on mechanical engineering and has presented more than 150 conference proceedings to industry peers. He also has authored one book, "Particles, Bubbles and Drops: Their Motion, Heat and Mass Transfer," published in 2006 by World Scientific Publishers.
Founded by the late Nobel Prize chemist Ilya Prigogine, JNET aims to connect science and engineering by (1) presenting new phenomena in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, (2) discussing analytics or fuzzy models in the field and (3) offering new methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena. Its audience includes physicists, chemists, mathematicians and computer scientists as well as mechanical, chemical, biochemical and aerospace engineers.

Chrissy Taylor thought, "Whoa!" when rising from the baptismal font.
The sopping-wet junior in the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences stood tall in front of the Sunday congregation at the Church of the Gesu while parishioners chanted "Alleluia."
Graduate student Flavio Rovertoni; Victoria Truex, Ed '13; and Annie Shuey, a junior in the Diederich College of Communication, joined Taylor at the baptism, all four becoming fully initiated into the Catholic Church.
Baptism is the culmination of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. They were named members of the "elect" on the first Sunday of Lent. They were baptized, confirmed and received Holy Communion for the first time on the second Sunday of Easter.
Steve Blaha, Arts '96, assistant director of campus ministry, says baptisms have always been a "significant soaking," but this is the first year students were fully immersed.
"Theologically, it's all about being immersed into the paschal mystery," Blaha says. "The person becomes one with Christ in that water." JB

Eh, I don't care much for it, but I'll reserve final judgment til I see it in person. But if it has an interior like the CTS I'll like that.
wow, its a "re-engineered" Vue...but i think i like it...interesting.
Eh...looks too "cheeky."Give me an Escalade ESV.
It looks like they took the front end of an Escalade and just slapped it on without re-sizing it.

Bring back the woolly mammoth!
It's the dream of kids all around the world to see giant beasts walk the Earth again. Could — and should — that dream be realized? Hendrik Poinar talks about the next big thing: the quest to engineer a creature that looks very much like our furry friend, the woolly mammoth. The first step, to sequence the woolly genome, is nearly complete. And it's huge.

Excerpt: "Though the lead in the NFC East may be thin, and they're coming off an ugly loss, the New York Giants (7-5) still have possession of first place by a game ahead of the Washington Redskins (6-6) and Dallas Cowboys (6-6). When I last looked at the schedules, I thought the Cowboys would pose quite a threat, but now they and the Redskins are just steps behind the Giants in the race for the NFC East title.
The Cowboys defeated the Cleveland Browns in overtime, lost to the Redskins on Thanksgiving Day, and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the final minutes on Sunday night. Next week they have the Cincinnati Bengalsaway. The Bengals have been on a run since they stomped on the Giants two weeks ago and they show no signs of slowing down as they continue to chase a playoff berth. Given the way the Cowboys have struggled in their last few games, including the ones they won, I wouldn't be shocked if Andy Daltonleads the Bengals to a victory next week.
Following the Bengals, the Cowboys have the Steelers at home, the Saints at home, and the Redskins away. I can see the Cowboys losing at least one of those games and going 8-8 to end the season.
The Redskins also have two road games and two home games down the stretch. They have the Ravens at home, Browns and Eagles away, and Dallas at home. I don't see the Redskins winning out and they will finish the season 9-7." Read more...

However, I think his pass blocking may very well indeed need improvement, hence, his appearance as a KR. That role allows him to focus on refining his running style, work on his ball security, gets him the ball in open space where he's most effective, and doesn't require him to pass protect.
I know we were all going into the season thinking he'd split carries with Bradshaw, but I don't think any of us expected Brown to step up the way he did. Even I, a big supporter of Brown, was surprised (pleasantly) by what happened vs TB and Carolina. He fits into the more Jacobs role of a power back. It's not the exact same thing, as Brown isn't as big as Jacobs, but on the other hand he waits for the right hole to develop and hits it at full power, not to mention he gets lower than Jacobs ever did. I was surprised that they didn't utilize Brown's ability to run up the middle to exploit the crap out of that wide 9 gimmick BS. That was just a MASSIVE lost opportunity there. Not saying take Bradshaw out, but split carries 50/50 as opposed to the 70/30 that it was.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
But it's not there anymore.....hasn't been there since 2010. So maybe he should run the ****ing play, as it's called, or sit down and let someone else try.
I've got this crazy ****ing idea.
Last time I checked, Wilson was a RUNNING BACK......not a wide receiver, and not a fullback. Maybe the Giants could *****GASP***** line Wilson up in an I-Formation and *****GASP*****........ HAND OFF the ball and let him RUN with it????
I know, I know......I'm nuts for thinking they should use Wilson as a running back. Sorry.
You know who else was a RUNNING BACK? Tyrone Wheatley...

text: Hi All, I rounded off the drain plug on my transmission pan drain plug (2003 Yukon XL). I've heard this is not an uncommon problem--apparently they overtighten them at the factory and then when you try to get them off, the bolt just rounds off? Well, whether it's true or not, both I and a friend of mine had the same experience, so we now need to use a bolt extractor to get it out of the pan. I'm wondering if any others here have had experience with getting a frozen (and rounded off) transmission drain plug out, and if so, what extractor kit/method have you had the most success with? -Josh

Lorella Signorino marked the positioning of her new 'Atelier' label from the get go: in mere moments the atmosphere of her Milan fashion week showing turned from light piano, to a hard beat, to a somewhat exposed Ruby Aldridge pounding down the catwalk. Sexualised and youthful? Certainly. This is, after all, the catwalk debut of a new label from a designer who had previously brought us the label 'Love Sex Money'. Lorella Signorino Atelier was never going to open demurely.
In fact, it's hard to describe much of it as demure. This is a Lorella Signorino collection where hot pants sit along thigh high boots, and the undercurrent of popularity for plastic as a cloth is given sexual overtones. Yet for all the sexualised qualities you can pick out of the collection, it never felt cheap in person. Young, yes. Sexualised, yes. Cheap, no.
Where the cloth isn't woven or cut to reveal, it's highly textured. This is Milan, so animal prints are to be expected, but this Lorella Signorino collection also worked with embroided leathers and gold plating. Much had a 70s feel to it, but it was a feel that leaned less to the the sophisticated 1970s fashion revival we're seeing of late and more towards the boho interpretation courtesy of cuts, prints and fringing.
You can see all the photos of Lorella Signorino: Atelier's autumn (fall) / winter 2011 / 2012 collection by clicking on the thumbnails below.

Greetings everybody from a relatively new Giants fan from a far away country in northern Europe!
I just got in to football during this season. I'm not even sure how or why it happened when it did. Sure, I've known the game exists and all that, just never paid any attention to it until now. Obviously I could root for any team but since I've always had a thing for New York, Giants felt like a natural choice =) So.. here I am.
And to keep this even remotely on topic, here are couple of wallpapers I put together for my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc.
The wallpapers are in Xperia's native screen resolution of 960x854 so for those they fit like a glove. How they show up on other Android phones I do not know, unfortunately. But tweaking them to fit others as well is no big deal should they not turn up properly.
Pics are on ImageShack, just hit the thumbnail for actual size.
Cheers and thumbs up for tonight's game!

Story highlights
- Sucos -- or juice bars -- thrive in Rio de Janeiro and beyond in Brazil
- Rodrigo Vidigal Peixoto, whose family runs Polis Sucos, says his father started Rio's juice bar craze in 1958
- International travelers may be unfamiliar with many of Brazil's exotic and delicious fruits
- Graviola is a pear-sized green fruit covered in prickly knobs that's said to aid digestion
(CNN)For the first-timer, a Rio sucos, or juice bar, is a little overwhelming.
Piles of exotic fruits, many of which you've possibly never heard of, line glass cases, or are stacked reverently in displays that seem more like a shrine to a Balinese god than a commercial enterprise.
"When the gringos arrive here, they go crazy when they see all the fruits displayed in the store," says Rodrigo Vidigal Peixoto, whose family runs Polis Sucos in Ipanema and several other locations in Rio.
According to Peixoto, his father opened Rio's first juice bar in 1958.
"When they see the fruit they can smell and touch, it's incredible for them."
The artichoke-looking thing is a fruta do conde, or sugar apple -- it's a delicious pear-like fruit rich in antioxidants that makes one of Polis Sucos' most popular drinks.
The little red fruits are acerola, which have one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C on the planet.
The orange bell pepper-like things with the curled handle on top are caju, the cashew apple, which comes from northeast Brazil and makes for a smooth, sweet blend.
The handle is the cashew nut.
The yellow mango-type fruits are caja, packed with vitamins A, B and C, iron and calcium.
Bet you never heard of this fruit
The daily sucos is a sacred ritual in Rio, a tonic to beat the heat, get a boost of natural sucrose, antioxidants or vitamins and sample a dizzying array of blends, courtesy of the exotic fruit capital of the world.
The website Toda Brazil lists 146 fruits grown in Brazil.
The count runs to 14 before you're even out of the A's: abacate (avocado), abacaxi (pineapple), abiu, abricó, açaí, acerola, akee, ameixa, amêndoa, amora, anonáceas, araçá, atemoya, avelã.
You can find sucos bars on just about any street in the city's Zona Sul.
You can order juice with sugar or without ("sem acucar") or "natural," fresh-squeezed, instead of with ready-made pulp.
Many sucos also offer cheap eats, which make them a great place to save money but eat well in a city where dining can be expensive.
You can get everything from omelets to meat, beans and rice combos, to an assortment of salgados, the meat and cheese pastries Brazilians love.
There are natural energy drinks, from guarana berries or cupuacu, an Amazon fruit whose juice is a cross between pear and banana.
Calming beverages are made from the popular maracuja (passionfruit).
Another favorite sucos is made with graviola, a pear-sized green fruit covered in prickly knobs that's said to aid digestion.
It has a hint of pina colada but it's lighter and, of course, fresher.
How to shop for fruit
Fresh-squeezed juice is the currency of the Rio sucos bar.
"The freshness of the fruit is the secret to the best sucos," says Peixoto.
He's a stickler for using only fruit that's at peak ripeness.
As a buyer for Polis, he goes to the Ceasa, the giant fruit and vegetable wholesale market in the north of Rio, and picks only fruit that's just right for juicing.
He looks first for fruit that's visually pleasing, with a healthy color.
Then he feels the product to see if it's firm.
It can't be soft, or it's past its time.
"The people in other stores buy inferior fruits, less quality," says Peixoto. "They use sugar to pretend the fruit is mature and sweet, but it's not. My juices all are (made) without sugar."
Some fruit is too fragile for shipping and handling, so pulp is used.
Polis Sucos uses pulp only for graviola, cupuacu and acai, fruits from the northeast and the Amazon.
The deep purple acai is one of the most popular items at any sucos.
The market for this "superfood" loaded with antioxidants is also booming outside Brazil.
It's served as a smoothie, blended with banana or honey or mixed with granola and served in a bowl.
Of course, there are plenty of fruits most foreigners have heard of as well, from pineapple to mango, papaya, bananas and oranges -- and all seem to grow tastier under Brazilian skies.
The favorite Brazilian banana, known as the silver banana, is typically firmer and sweeter than the kind Americans know from Central America or Ecuador.
They make for particularly delicious sucos blends.
Historic decision
Rio's juice bar tradition began when Peixoto's father, Eduardo Fernades Peixoto, was working as a restaurant and bar manager.
He didn't really like his job, so he was ready to take a risk when the owner suggested one day that the two of them open up a juice store in Ipanema, with Eduardo as a partner.
Eduardo eventually became the sole owner of Polis Suco, then passed it down to Rodgrigo's brother Carlos.
Today, the family operates four stores, including two in Barra da Tijuca and one inside the headquarters of Globo TV, at Projac da Globo.
"We pioneered the concept, then other people opened many other stores," says Peixoto. "People began to want a more natural, healthy life.
"It's also very hot here, so people wanted something healthy that could quench their thirst."
He recommends travelers try his mango and maracuja combo.
"The sweet fruit with the sour fruit is a wonderful combination. It's very good."
At a price of 7 reais ($3 for 300 ml) and 10 reais ($4.50 for 500 ml), it's a tasty deal, and one that could get to be a habit during your stay in Rio.

Emile Henry Artisan Ruffled Pie Dish

The rustic charm of kitchen ceramics in an Emile Henry 1850s catalog provided the inspiration for the French company's Artisan series of bakeware. Each pie dish is shaped from Burgundian clay, which absorbs, distributes and retains heat evenly, so pies bake and brown to perfection. The dish's generous proportions and scalloped rim make it ideal for baking deep-dish fruit and savory pies that will be served at the table. Because its hand-applied glaze won't scratch or craze, you can use sharp utensils for slicing a pie. Microwave, oven, dishwasher, freezer and broiler safe. 1 1/4-qt. cap., 10 1/2" diam.

Chris Brown: 'I Want To Be The Steven Spielberg Of Music Videos'
Chris participated in his first full-length interview in years and spoke candidly about his aspirations with his music videos — and posed for a pretty hot photo shoot too! Read on for details and to see all the photos!
Chris Brown doesn't do press often, so when he does — it's a big deal. The R&B superstar sat down with Prestige Hong Kong for an in-depth interview about his career, including his hands-on involvement with his music videos. Oh, and he also posed for a sexy cover spread!
When asked about how involved he gets in the process with his incredible music videos, Chris explained it all.
"With the comedy videos like 'Till I Die' – which I did with Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean – it was like, cool. Let's have fun with it. Make a crazy video. Being able to direct by myself and have full creative focus and being able to know the cameras – that was the easiest part. The vision is the hard part. Whenever you're sleeping, you have that dream or that nightmare and that's your video. That's how I kind of interpret it. Or whatever I see when I hear the music, whatever vision I see, I put it right onto paper and put it out on the video. Like the video for 'Don't Judge Me' – it was me going into a spaceship. Not to be arrogant when I say it, but I want to be the Steven Spielberg of music videos, to be innovative and young, not to put a bar on it just because of budgetary issues or certain capabilities."
Take a look at the photo spread and let us know, HollywoodLifers, do you think Chris is the Steven Spielberg of music videos?

Shereen El Feki:
Pop culture in the Arab world
Shereen El Feki shows how some Arab cultures are borrowing trademarks of Western pop culture — music videos, comics, even Barbie — and adding a culturally appropriate twist. The hybridized media shows how two civilizations, rather than dividing, can dovetail.

Reviews of this property
We spent a great time in Nice. The flat was confortable, not so big but has evrithing you need. The bathroom is great. The location is perfect.
Marco, the owner, was nice and he helps us with evrithing we asked.
Great expirience.
The studio is situated very close to the tram line and easy to get to. It is very well equipped it has all the mod cons you would need for a short stay or even longer. It was very clean and cosy and certainly better value staying at the studio compared to some of the Nice hotels.
We would definitely recommend staying here and would come back next time .
The only issue is the advert suggests the studio is located in a beautiful building with sunny balcony . The building is not beautiful and the balcony has no sun exposure but don't let that put you off it is no different to any other apartment building in Nice . All in All a lovely studio, well kept and Marco is a really nice guy.
Very clean and cozy studio, Air-con would be a good addition as the temperature was pretty high in July, but otherwise everything was Perfect. We had a lovely holiday;)
The flat was perfect and Marco was vet helpful and accommodating. Being so close to everything it is easy to walk or get anywhere. Very happy with my stay and would definitely stay again.
Very nice owner and a very clean appartement. Marco is a funny guy you will like him. The appartement is very close to the old town and the beaches of Nizza, you can walk there in 10 minutes.
Very friendly host, clean and cozy appartment and located between two tram stops.
Highly recommended for this price!
As for me it's a nice apartment and good location. The tram stop is 2 min away and in 10 min you are in the center or at the beach. The apartment itself is clean and cosy. you have everything you need for a few days. There is a supermarket just around the corner and a lovely bakery. it's quite at night and not too hot. And Marco is the best! :-) very nice and friendly! He even picked me up at the tram stop so I don't get lost. He speaks a little English and all the required information can be given. I can only recommend this place.
Person very welcoming and very friendly.
The accommodation is very good, clean and perfectly functional equipped.
One small downside for the environment is not the image of the product.
Neighborhood and building not very well attended.
Personne très accueillante et fort sympathique.
Le logement est très bien, propre fonctionnel et parfaitement équipé.
Un seul petit bémol concerne l'environnement qui n'est pas à l'image du produit.
Quartier et immeuble pas très bien fréquenté.
I can only recommend Marcos one bedroom studio. It is small but has a modern, new bathroom is immaculate and furnished. From the hair dryer over the toaster to the (filter) coffee, everything is available. A great value Leistungsverhöltnis that one finds not so fast in Nice.
The room faces the backyard and so has no view, but it is pleasantly quiet even though it is technically excellent transport: From the motorway take the uncomplicated directly outside the house, a train station is very close. A few meters outside the front door go up the tram that brings you into the center in no time or borrows a bike bleu aus.Was also is important: I received was extremely nice and made me feel immediately at ease.
Unfortunately I had to leave early for personal reasons. However, I would opt for this studio again for a next stay in Nice.
Ich kann Marcos Einzimmer Studio nur empfehlen. Es ist zwar klein, verfügt aber über ein modernes, neues Badezimmer und ist tiptop eingerichtet. Vom Haarföhn über den Toaster bis zur (Filter)Kaffeemaschine ist alles vorhanden. Ein super Preis-Leistungsverhöltnis, das man in Nizza nicht so schnell wiederfindet.
Das Zimmer geht auf einen Hinterhof und hat also keine Aussicht, ist dafür aber angenehm ruhig, obwohl es verkehrstechnisch ausgezeichnet liegt: Von der Autobahn fährt man unkompliziert direkt vors Haus; auch ein Bahnhof ist ganz in der Nähe. Wenige Meter vor der Haustür steigt man ins Tram, das einen im Nu ins Zentrum bringt oder leiht sich ein Velo bleu aus.Was auch wichtig ist: Ich wurde äusserst nett empfangen und habe mich sofort wohl gefühlt.
Leider musste ich aus privaten Gründen frühzeitig abreisen. Ich würde mich bei einem nächsten Nizza Aufenthalt aber wieder für dieses Studio entscheiden.
This accommodation would be acceptable for a backpacker... but it definitely does NOT suit a couple travelling (especially if you are on your honeymoon).
The accommodation is a "room" inside his apartment that has been turned into a studio, the bathroom is nice and new but the kitchen is ULTRA tiny.
The photo you see of the couch in the first image is in fact your bed - it is a fold out couch (I feel this should be mentioned to avoid others thinking you will get a bed to sleep on).
We don't know what was outside the balcony blinds but we were specifically told NOT to open the blinds.
Another point to mention - Marco has limited English and we were rationed to 100 litres of water for all appliances.
The accommodation is in an "interesting" location - the lack of women in the local bars made us feel quite uncomfortable (especially the looks we received just walking past).
Needless to say we did not stay in the accommodation and had to find accommodation else where in the city.
When we returned to collect our bond we were very surprise that the first thing Marco asked was why we hadn't stayed in the apartment - to me, there was only one way he could have known that...
I DO NOT recommend this accommodation.

Best Western Ocean View Resort • Seaside, OR
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Double Queen Room
- Combine Vouchers to Stay up to Three Nights
The Destination
The Pacific Ocean may be best known for its southern attributes of hot sand and surf, but follow the coastline north, and the setting makes a dramatic and welcomed change. Deep azure waves crash along rocky, jagged shores where emerald forests meet their limit. Such is the case with the surrounding coastline of Seaside, Oregon, a town of quaint galleries, bobbing fishing boats, and aquatic entertainment about an hour and a half from Portland. Stroll along the bay front or set sail on the water and gain a new perspective of the Pacific; have a bonfire on the beach, and don't forget the s'mores; or walk along the nearly two-mile oceanfront promenade and enjoy an evening sunset.
The Digs
Soak up the ocean breeze from your private balcony at the Best Western Ocean View Resort, which sits just steps from the Pacific. More than just a place to crash, this 107-room hotel features an authentic full-service Italian restaurant as well as a casual pub, a heated indoor saline pool and Jacuzzi, a 7,000-square-foot conference center, and an ideal location that affords guests quick access not only to the beach but also to the many noteworthy attractions in Seaside. Perfect for families and small groups, each Double Queen Room is appointed two queen beds, a coffee pot, a mini fridge, a microwave, and a 37-inch flat-screen TV. Upgrade options are available.
The Diversions
• Seaside Aquarium
• Gearhart Golf Links

Original post by Telastyn
Age of Wonders was okay, but certain bits were unbalanced. And the whole 'no random map generation' bit. It's only the most vital feature of any 4x game...
I know Age of Wonders Shadow Magic did have a random map generator though.
My favorite genre by far. Recently (several months ago) I sold off all my Age of Wonders games, Homm series, Fantasy General, plus a bunch of old TBS playstation 2 games like Brigandine and Ogre Tactics. I needed the money!
I made a good $1000 but now I miss them all (sentimental value) and Im going to start buying them back! :)
