My property is in NW10, Willesden Junction. It is an area very close to Wembley, Portobello Market and Queens Park, Westfield Shopping Centre and the Central Middlessex Hospital ( buses (phone number hidden) and 226).
Transport facilities are very good, two underground stations ( Zone 2), Bakerloo Line which takes about 25 minutes to Oxford St or Piccadilly Circus. The overground will take you all over North London or to the South with a final destination in Clapham Junction. There are also a number of buses to take you to central London, number 18 to Euston, 266 to Hammersmith or to Golders Green. For more information look into (website hidden) where you can get all the information regarding public transport.
If you like to exercise, Roundwood Park is just a 5 minute walk where you can exercise in a very relaxed setting but if you are more into swimming or weight training, Willesden Sports Centre is a 12 minute walk. The sport centre is very good and you can pay by the day, so you could incorporate training in your holidays or your short stay. For more information about the centre please have a look at their web page: (website hidden) There is also a Bikram yoga centre about 15 minutes bus ride from the flat: (website hidden) If you are interested in mediation and more alternative ways of life, the Brahma Kumaris centre is a 15 minute walk from the flat, more info in : (website hidden)
The area has quite a few good affordable restaurants ranging from Spanish, Caribbean, Brazilian and Iranian as well as a few good pubs on the Harrow Road such as the trendy Paradise or William the IV.
The flat was completely refurbished in 2009 with all modern facilities. There are two bedrooms, one occupied by me and a double room which is the room offered to rent. You will have access to quite large family kitchen and if If you are lucky enough to have good weather, a lot of my guests, have breakfast in the garden. We get the sun all day and it is very pleasant in the morning to sit and start the day in a peaceful manner.
I am flexible in terms of checking in and out and you will have your own keys. If you are a driver I have a guest parking permit so there is no problem for you to bring your car.
I love London and have quite a busy social life, so I can also give you information about this wonderful city in terms of what is going on for people who want to feel the real London and not just the tourist visits and if you are a dancer... that is my passion, so you will have all that information at your hands. I speak English, Spanish, French some Portuguese, some Italian , and my son is fluent in French so we can answer questions in a few languages and help you if you need further information about the area.
If you are a driver, I can book parking on the street for your stay. I provide this service free.
I interact with my guests as much as I can. If I am home and I am cooking I love to invite the guests to share the meal with my son and myself. I am very proud to say that some of my friends are from Wimdu that came as guests and we become friends.
I love interacting with people and any information you need I would be glad to spend time with you and explain. I love London and everything that it is offered, therefore I have good knowledge of how to get the most out of this wonderful city.
I love the diversity of this neighbourhood, different cultures and sometimes the crazy ambience that the area provides.If you are a cook, the area is like Aladin's Cave. You can find meats from Brazil in the local Brazilian's butchers. All type of Caribbean food at Blue Mountain ( a shops that caters for the Caribbean community).
There is also a 24 hour supermarket that offers Turkish food, olive bar, polish deli counter and freshly baked bread.
There is also some good restaurants in the area such as Iranian food, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian.I love the fact that you don't have to leave the area in order to meet all these different cultures.
There are also a couple of Brazilian/ Portuguese clubs with one of them offering Kizomba classes.
The flat is located 12 minutes walk from Willesden Junction. The Bakerloo line will take you to central London in 25 minutes, Picadilly Circus and the overground can take you to the North of London in very short space of time as well as to the South of London ( Clapham Junction).
The M1 is 10 minutes drive from the flat and the North Circular is also very close. The M40 is about 15 minutes drive.

Reviews of this property
Me and my friend had best time in London at this trip! On the first day we said it is nice to stay in suburb. You see the everyday life and it is just amazing. Room was just on point and host was also amazing. Definitely would go to stay Pilar again. Two stundent girls just says yes to room, yes to public transport and yes to London!
Very friendly and welcoming both the house and Pilar and Marcelo.
It was our first experience in this type of accommodation and were very pleased.
Muy agradable y acogedora tanto la casa como Pilar y Marcelo.
Fue nuestra primera experiencia en este tipo de alojamientos y quedamos muy satisfechos.
Our stay with Pilar ..... basically were in our house, because that's how we feel, certainly, when we return to London because we return, will be home to Pilar and Marcelo. Great time, we went with our son and did not want to go back, I grew fond of Marcelo, a charming person, always willing to have a conversation with us, we both got many useful tips about the city. The room is spacious, bed very comfortable and there is also a large very comfortable sofa. The house is cituada one 15-minute walk from the station of undreground and overgraund or you can catch a bus also takes you to the station at 4 min of the house, nosotro preferred to walk because if you're walking past the shops and always We needed something to buy and there are no super this very well priced, always better to buy in the center. The house is in Willesden Junction and is right on the border of zone 2 and this either when buying transport cards. The neighborhood is very quiet. Definitely highly it recommended because you feel at home. Pilar and Marcelo thank you very much for giving us not only your home, SL does not heat your house. We hope to see you soon and if you pass by Tenerife and you have our phone. Oh and thank you very much Marcelo for the favor of the last time. ;)
Nuestra estancia con Pilar..... basicamente estabamos en nuestra casa, porque asi fue como nos sentimos, sin duda, cuando volvamos a Londres, porque pensamos volver, sera a casa de Pilar y Marcelo. Lo pasamos genial, fuimos con nuestro hijo y no se queria volver, se encariño de Marcelo, que es un encanto de persona, siempre dispuesto a mantener una conversacion con nosotros, los dos nos dieron muchos consejos muy utiles sobre la ciudad. La habitacion es espaciosa, la cama muy comoda y hay un sofa grande tambien muy comodo. La casa esta cituada a uno 15 minutos a pie de la estacion del undreground y overgraund o puedes coger un bus que tambien te lleva a la estacion a 4 min de la casa, nosotro preferiamos ir caminando porque si vas caminando pasas por los comercios y siempre hacia falta algo que comprar y por alli hay un super que esta muy bien de precio, siempre mejor que comprar en el centro. La casa esta en Willesden Junction y esta justo en el limite de la zona 2 y esta bien a la hora de comprar las tarjetas de transporte. El barrio es muy tranquilo. Sin duda es muy recomendable porque te sentiras como en casa. Muchas gracias Pilar y Marcelo por ofrecernos, no solo vuestra casa, slno el calor de vuestra casa. Esperamos verles pronto y si os pasais por Tenerife ya teneis nuestro telefono. Ahh y muchas gracias Marcelo por el favor del ultimo momento. ;)
We spent 4 wonderful nights in the room of Pilar. The fact that it is exentré (20 minutes by metro) allows you to take a subscription (required to visit London) and allows us to spend peaceful nights in the suburbs of London. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and you feel at home in this room very similar to the picture!
Nous avons passé 4 superbes nuits dans la chambre de Pilar. Le fait que ce soit exentré (20 minutes de métro) permet de prendre un abonnement (nécessaire pour visiter londres) et nous permet de passer des nuits paisibles dans la banlieu de Londres. C'était un séjour vraiment agréable et on se sent chez soi dans cette chambre très ressemblante à la photo!
We have been 4 nights in the house of Pilar and has been a very positive experience, excellent Marcelo dealing with a very quiet area to live and a very different neighborhood knew that London was the center, but well connected.
Overall excellent !!!
Hemos estado 4 Noches en la casa de Pilar y ha sido una experiencia muy positiva, el trato con Marcelo excelente una zona muy tranquila para vivir y un barrio muy diferente al Londres que conocía que era el centro, aunque muy bien comunicado.
En general excelente!!!
It is in a very unattractive neighborhood located .... 15min walk from the subway and it's a little 20min by subway to London.
The Court simply, there is a carpet that is not really clean and the fireplace is not working.
The bathroom is very small and the toilet is there in the morning so you must already wait to go to the toilet ...
at night there is too much noise from the upstairs neighbors.
Pilar and friendly lady but we have not really seen a lot and the son not!, Really neat they do not .... the dishes will remain untouched, the wet laundry in the kitchen ......
Het is in een zeer onaantrekkelijke buurt gelegen....15min te voet van de metro en dan is het een klein 20min met de metro tot in Londen.
De Kamer is gewoon,er ligt een tapijt dat niet echt proper is en de openhaard werkt niet.
De badkamer is zeer klein en het toilet bevindt zich daar waardoor je s'morgens al eens moet wachten om naar het toilet te kunnen gaan...
s'nachts is er ook veel lawaai van de boven buren.
Pilar is en vriendelijke dame maar wij hebben ze niet echt veel gezien en de zoon ook niet!,echt ordelijk is ze niet....de afwas blijft gewoon staan,de natte was staat in de keuken......
Vital and friendly staff to help you in any questions you may have and make you feel comfortable at home without being all over you. Room good and nice bed.
Personal vital y amable que te ayuda en las dudas que puedas tener y en hacerte sentir confortable en su casa sin estar encima tuya. La habitación bien y la cama agradable.
The area was a little further away from the metro stops, so we had to walk for half an hour every day ... would be better just to buy one-day tickets. The room was on the first day very cold and we have no heating or furnace anbekommen. Pilar was rarely there, so we could not just ask. The bathroom had a great big shower, the kitchen, we make only the tea used, since we were to go in the evening. The walls are very thin and you can hear immediately if someone goes in and out.
For a weekend it was okay for a long time should be with the staff have more contact.
Die Gegend war etwas weiter von den U-Bahnhaltestellen entfernt, sodass wir jeden Tag eine halbe Stunde laufen mussten...wäre besser sich direkt Tagestickets zu kaufen. Das Zimmer war am ersten Tag sehr kalt und wir haben weder Heizung noch Ofen anbekommen. Pilar war selten da, deshalb konnten wir nicht so einfach nachfragen. Das Badezimmer hatte eine tolle große Dusche, die Küche haben wir nur zum Tee machen benutzt, da wir bis Abends unterwegs waren. Die Wände sind sehr dünn und man hört sofort wenn jemand rein und raus geht.
Für ein Wochenende war es okay, für längere Zeit sollte man mit dem Gastgeber mehr Kontakt haben.
The room and the apartment are well maintained, only the residential area is a bit dirty. Pilar was a gracious host and I would recommend them anytime.
Das Zimmer und die Wohnung sind sehr gepflegt, einzig die Wohngegend ist etwas dreckig. Pilar war eine nette Gastgeberin und ich würde sie jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

text: It's gonna be 74 and 72 here this weekend, and sunny. Is it okay to open up the hives and do an inspection, or is it better to just let the bees be until spring is actually here before interrupting their winter homes? I saw SHB scurry when opening hives in mid-November, escaping their propolis jails, so I'm suspecting it'd be best for the bees if I just leave 'em alone since there'll be more cold days and nights ahead. BTW, red maples have already started budding and blooming here in the NC Piedmont.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
I sincerely hope that Howard is finally going to ruin your FT% for good.
Sales could reach 1 billion dollars retail in 2014...netting Colorado 200 million in tax revenue. That's roughly 300 dollars spent per adult in the state. State citizens can buy up to one ounce at a time...roughly $200 or more. Out-of-state citizens can buy up to one-quarter ounce. I'd have to ask Cheech and Chong how many joints that makes.
It's over.
I always assumed that Jimmer would be forever linked to your roster. To hear that you had Hollis Thompson on your roster instead...makes me sad.
I can't believe you are tanking already....
What is beyond me is how you didn't grab jimmer with your first pick. You, my friend, are not a true fan.
Stupid autodraft!
I forgot the guys name who took Darko in that 1st draft.
bball jay
Just need to make up six games on the wombats this week to make the playoffs and then it's a whole new season. Even Faried came to play last week for the first time this season. Now if Iggy could manage a week where the sum total of his stats is greater than ten we would be rolling.
is he still active in the forum? I haven't read anything from him ever since Darko disappeared from the NBA...
Maybe bballjay was Darko.
Looking back, I don't ever recall seeing them together...
I am going to try to win this week. Just so I can remember what it feels like to win. I have hated the last half of this season.
I let you beat me 2 weeks ago. I thought that would help your pain....
I made mistakes. At one point, I had no less than 6 starters injured. And my team was crap. This is the sort of season you put behind you and try to forget about.
Wade for LeBron? Shane Battier last week when LeBron scored 61: "Anytime LeBron and I combine to score 64 points, it's going to be a good night."
I was doing fine through two weeks and then Horford, Reddick, and Nene went down all at once. And then Gasol and everybody else. I kept waiting for somebody, forget who, to come off IR so I could move a center there and ended up with too many guys who weren't playing.
Playoffs begin this week! #4 webz v #5 Laimbeer #3 CJ v #6 Slippy #7 DBA v #8 Linwood #9 Roscoe v #10 Winless Bye: #1 Ralphi, #2 BDL

News and Announcements
LaForest and McQuillan win Arthur Neef Moot Court Competition
December 7, 2012
Second-year law students Kathleen LaForest of Ann Arbor and Kevin McQuillan of Toledo, Ohio, emerged as the champions of Wayne State University Law School's recent 2012 Arthur Neef Moot Court Competition, which was judged by four Michigan Court of Appeals judges — Elizabeth Gleicher, Christopher Murray, Cynthia Stephens and Kirsten Frank Kelly.
The winning students' opponents in the final round of competition were second-year students Jake Vorkapich of Canton and Jason Alvarado of Rochester Hills.
The annual competition starts with four in-house rounds with 18 teams of two participating. Eight of those teams advance to the quarterfinals, and four teams go on to semifinals before the field is honed to the final two teams.
Wayne Law's Moot Court program began in 1938 as informal groups called "Case Clubs." Club members prepared legal arguments and presented them before faculty members and practitioners to practice arguing against other law schools' clubs. In 1949, the Case Club became an officially recognized student group at Wayne Law, and was renamed Moot Court. Since then, the group has evolved into a highly competitive program, which helps students hone their written and oral advocacy skills at the appellate level.
The students this year argued two issues, said Professor Amy Neville, faculty adviser for Moot Court.
"The first is whether the use of testimony from an anonymous witness violates the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause," Neville said. "The second issue involved whether Federal Rule of Evidence 701 permits a lay witness, who has no firsthand or contemporaneous knowledge of conversations, to offer 'opinions' about the speaker's intended meaning of words used in those conversations."
Neville has been an instructor of legal writing at Wayne Law since 1999. Prior to joining Wayne's faculty, Neville worked for six years as an assistant defender at the State Appellate Defender Office handling appeals on behalf of indigents convicted of felony offenses in Michigan. She also previously worked at the Michigan Court of Appeals as a pre-hearing attorney. Neville graduated from Wayne Law in 1987, where she served as a member of WSU's 1986-87 National Moot Court Team.
Photo caption: The four finalists in this year's Arthur Neef Moot Court Competition are second-year students Jake Vorkapich (left) of Canton and Jason Alvarado of Rochester Hills, who argued for the petitioner; and winners Kathleen LaForest of Ann Arbor and Kevin McQuillan of Toledo, Ohio, who argued for the respondent.

The Bounty of St. Croix
Divi Carina Bay All-Inclusive Beach Resort & Casino • Christiansted, US Virgin Islands
Escape Kit
- A Three- ($979), Four- ($1,279), or Five-Night ($1,599) Stay for Two in a Deluxe Beachfront Room, All Inclusive of:
- All Meals, Alcoholic Drinks, and Non-Alcoholic Drinks
- Access to Divi Carina Bay Casino
- All Taxes, Fees, and Surcharges
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to 15 Nights
Combine impossibly blue Caribbean waters with perfect white-sand beaches, toss every imaginable shade of green into the mix, and add a dash of mollasses-colored rum to the pot. That's St. Croix, in the US Virgin Islands, and its kaleidoscope comes through at every turn, from the vibrantly colored buildings that punctuate the landscape to the colorful culture that permeates life here.
The Digs
Artfully positioned along white-sand beaches, the Divi Carina Bay All-Inclusive Beach Resort & Casino offers you a front-row view of the mesmerizing island of St. Croix. Stunning terraces and balconies beckon ocean breezes inside your beautifully appointed guestrooms outfitted in bright Caribbean décor with all the requisite creature comforts: air-conditioning, king or queen beds (and sometimes sofa beds), refrigerators, wet bars, coffee pots, microwaves, satellite television, and free wireless Internet.
The Diversions
All-inclusive literally means you could never leave this paradisiacal resort and be totally satisfied. Still, should you begin feeling the itch of wanderlust, the resort has partnered with Centerline Car Rentals, so you can rent a car and move about the island at your leisure. On-site, you'd be remiss not to indulge in every nook and cranny of this Caribbean gem. Four restaurants and four bars offer a diversity of food and spirits—the perfect prelude to nights of live entertainment and on-site casino gaming. During the day, non-motorized water sports, guided snorkeling, and kayak tours enable you experience the island below the surface, while land-lubbers can appreciate complimentary miniature golf, use of tennis courts, or the fitness center.
"It was beyond tempting to stay on the property the entire time; however, we did push ourselves to enjoy other parts of the island. We both would urge anyone considering St. Croix to enjoy the all-inclusive package at the Divi Carina Bay Resort... !!!"-- TripAdvisor

text: Listen Conquering Communication Challenges Special Olympics Team USA | фев 14, 2013 | North America: Virginia One of the most amazing things about World Games is to watch athletes from countries all around the world overcome language barriers. Speed skating athlete Jannai Kennedy from Virginia understood communication challenges long before she came to the Republic of Korea. Jannai was born deaf. Her interaction with athletes from other countries parallels the interaction athletes back home have with her. "They don't talk the same language, I don't understand their language", Jannai said. Jannai traveled with her sign language interpreter Maggie Drilling. "It is probably the first time that anyone has understood what her life is like, to have someone talk to you and not know what they are saying." Maggie said Jannai and her competitors find a common connection in a universal language. "They touch a lot, and use hand gestures, high fives, smiles and bow. That has been great for her because she has been on an even level. That is what she always does, figures out a way to connect."

Is there any need in putting up swarm traps in areas where there are not beekeepers? I can't remember the last time I saw a wild/feral hive.
Is there any need in putting up swarm traps in areas where there are not beekeepers? I can't remember the last time I saw a wild/feral hive.
I am catching swarms in areas that in the middle of nowhere and the landowners don't know of any beekeepers anywhere near. You might just get surprised. I'm on number 15 now.
Good luck.
I'm doing a trapout in. Guys wall and the closest neigbbor is 1.5 miles away and the closest beekeeper is apx 12 miles away so I would say there are a few out there
> I can't remember the last time I saw a wild/feral hive.
I see them all the time... they are the ones I hope to catch. Yes, I would put up traps. The bees will surprise you.

Okay, guess I'll give it a try. Do you guys just use a Nuc baited with LGO?
Several years ago, Hurrican Ike swung up through the gulf of Mexico, swept over Texas and blew right over the bootheel of Missouri. Dozens of stately old trees were wiped in the city of Cape Girardeau. The homeowners called me and pretty much all said, "We had a tree do down last night and the bees moved in...even built comb you can see where the tree split. You need to come get them before the tree trimmers clean up the mess."
I suggested the bees had already been there, but they said, "No way. We never, ever saw a bee in the yard."
Long story short, by the time the insurance adjusters came to authorize the tree trimmer's work, the small hive beetles moved in and decimated most of these bee trees.
I'd put up the traps...kind of like fishing. Who would say, "Don't put out the bait, there's no fish in that lake!"
There are many tips in this resource for trapping ferals: https://www.createspace.com/4106626

Thanks for the reply.
Same in Fort Wayne. Bad storm last fall and our phone was ringing off the hook with bee trees that no one knew were around. Trick is finding someone to allow you to leave an empty box on their property to catch 10,000 stinging bugs. Take a jar of honey along.
I have 18 hives of feral bees . swarms / cut outs and traps
You know that swarms will give preference to a previously used cavity. In an area where there are not many colonies there probably aren't many previosly used cavities either - so your swarm trap may be the most attractive digs for miles around whenever a swarm does pass through. You are also probably more likely to get a swarm from a colony that has been on it's own for a while instead of just from a second spring beekeeper.
I just made that up, but it sounds pretty good.
I have put up six swarm traps this year, two old nucs that have been lived in before. The other four with old comb and LGO. I have read all of odfranks suggestions, but haven't caught a bee yet. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? There are plenty of beekeepers around, but it has been a bad year. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Ruthz, you are north of me, so my guess is that there have been very swarms so far this year. We are now just getting cranked up into spring. In the next two months the swarms will happen. If you have your traps out and are a little bit lucky you may get one.

<font size="6">1. The Patriots cheated again! They record all using hidden microphones on our bench to hear the play calls!
2. The refs gave us the Patriots the game! Every important call that swung the game in the Patriots favor was an obviously blown and biased call FOR THE PATRIOTS. THEY MUST HAVE PAID THE REFS.
3. The NFL stands for the National FIXED League. Roger Gooddell paid off the refs to make calls AGAINST THE GIANTS!
4. Oh, the Giants didn't come to play today. Any other day, they'd have beat the Pats. But not this day. The Patriots didn't win the Superbowl. The Giants LOST IT TO THEM.
5. Eli Manning wasn't the ELITE QB we all expected him to be! He's a big choker! He gave the game away. We should cut him and get his equally big choker brother!

text: Protect collective bargaining and health insurance On May 19, the Senate added an amendment to its version of next year's state budget to give communities the ability to increase taxes on meals and hotel stays. It also closed the telecom loophole that had prevented municipalities from collecting property taxes on phone poles and wires. In addition, the amendment included a slightly different version of changes to municipal health insurance than had been proposed by the Special Commission on Municipal Relief, which released its recommendations on May 7. The proposal adopted by the Senate uses the cost of insuring municipal employees through the Group Insurance Commission as a benchmark. (The GIC currently provides health insurance to state employees and a number of municipal employees who have negotiated to join the GIC.) If a city or town's costs are higher than what it would cost to get health insurance through the GIC, the city or town would negotiate, through coalition bargaining, a health insurance plan either through the GIC or through another insurer that reached the benchmark. If the costs are below the benchmark, then no changes would be made to a community's health insurance. The commission had recommended that all eligible retirees be enrolled in Medicare. However, this was not included in the Senate's amendment. Collective Bargaining Threatened The Senate proposal will be considered when a budget conference committee made up of House and Senate members meets. It is also possible that the House will bring up a separate bill in the next few weeks to make changes to municipal health insurance. A proposal that is seriously being considered in the House is supported by many mayors and the Massachusetts Municipal Association. It gives city and town officials the power to determine the design of municipal employees' health insurance plans without collectively bargaining them. There would be no say for employees in what health insurance plans would look like. The MTA is fighting to make sure that any change in municipal health insurance permits collective bargaining and gives a voice to retirees in decisions about their health insurance. Send a message to your state representative today. Ask the representative to protect collective bargaining for health insurance and to make sure that retirees are part of the process.

Hello all,
Sorry it's been a while - Jamie HQ has been busier than ever, and I know our attention to you guys has been less than ideal. I thought I'd let you know know a couple of things:
First of all, I've finally just sat down with our new developers (as you may have heard, Eric left us shortly after Christmas) and we're making some tweaks to how we deal with your reports. Currently the process of removing spam and banning the culprits is quite cumbersome, and this should heighten our ability to stay on top of it. Which brings me onto my next bit of news...
I will soon be stepping away from the community side of my role to focus entirely on online editorial. My replacement as community manager, Abigail, will start at the end of March, and I think you and she will get on brilliantly - I'm really looking forward to introducing her to you.
So, team, hang tight - things are about to start looking up. We've just launched a massively improved member recipes section, while we're on the subject of improvements - I hope you've all had a chance to have a look!
All my best,

Build this simple pine bookshelf with a miter saw, biscuits—and a young helper. It's a great way to teach your son or daughter about woodworking and tool use.
We recruited Justin and his son to help us with this story. Justin is a full-time firefighter and a woodworker on his off days. His 11-year-old son Jackson, an up-and-coming woodworker, had fun with his dad and learned a few power tool techniques in the process. We provided the plans and gave a few pointers along the way, and Justin and Jackson took it from there.
"What a confidence booster when a kid can say, 'I built that!' " –Justin
Here's a simple project that gives you a chance to pass some of your woodworking skills on to the next generation. Any kid will love spending the day with you assembling this bookcase. And by the end of the day, your helper will have hands-on experience with several power tools, plus an attractive bookcase to show off.
The knotty pine bookcase parts are all standard dimensional lumber that you can find at any home center. We joined the shelves and legs with biscuits. If you don't own a biscuit joiner but still want to build this project, you can simply nail or screw the parts together and fill the holes. We used a table saw to cut the 1-1/2-in. square legs from 2x4s and a router with a 45-degree chamfer bit to bevel the edge of the top. If you don't have a table saw or router, you can just use stock 2x2s for the legs and leave the edge of the top square.
Lay the bookcase sides together to mark the shelf locations. The layout marks have to be perfect, so Justin closely supervised this step.
Make pairs of corresponding marks on the legs and sides. Later you'll center the biscuit joiner on the marks to cut slots that align.
Use the Cutting List (see Additional Information, below) as a guide for cutting all the parts. The next step is to mark the shelf positions on the shelf sides. It's important to keep track of the orientation of the parts. For reference, we placed a piece of masking tape on the top of each side, and on the top side of each shelf. Justin and Jackson used a framing square to draw lines indicating the bottom of each shelf (Photo 1).
No need to mark the location of biscuits on the shelves and sides. Instead make marks on the scrap of wood used as a fence. Draw marks to indicate the outside edges of the 1x8 shelves and sides, and mark 1-3/4 in. in from each edge to indicate the center of the biscuits. To use the fence, line up the outside marks with the edges of the part you're cutting slots in. And then line up the center mark on the biscuit-joining tool with the marks for the center of the biscuits (Photos 3 and 4).
To mark the legs and sides for biscuits, set the legs in position and make pairs of marks that line up with each other on the legs and sides (Photo 2). Put a piece of masking tape on the top of each 2x2 leg, and keep this facing up when you cut the biscuit slots. Photo 7 shows how to bevel the legs.
Clamp the fence to the work surface and butt the end of the shelf to it. Then center the biscuit joiner on the mark and cut the slot. Repeat for the second slot.
Line up the 2x2 jig with the edge of board mark and clamp it. Center the biscuit joiner on the center mark on the fence and cut the slot. Repeat for the second slot.
Line up the center of the biscuit joiner with the marks on the edge of the side and cut the slots. Make sure both the shelf side and the biscuit joiner are tight to the work surface when you cut the slot.
Place a scrap of 1/2-in. plywood or particleboard on the work surface. Butt the leg against it and rest the biscuit joiner on the spacer while you cut the slots. The 1/2-in. spacer will automatically position the slots.
Biscuit joiners have a flip-down fence that can be used to position the slots, but instead we're showing a method that allows you to reference the slots from the base of the biscuit joiner. Photos 3 – 6 show the techniques. For a more detailed description of this method, see "Building Cabinets With Biscuit Joints" .
Jackson didn't have any trouble mastering the biscuit joiner. With a little coaching from Justin, he cut slots like a pro. What's trickiest about cutting the slots is keeping track of the orientation of the parts. Just remember to keep the masking tape facing up, with one exception: The slots on the 1x8 top should be cut with the tape side down.
Screw two scraps to a small square of plywood to form a cradle for the legs. Clamp the jig to the miter saw fence, and cut a 10-degree bevel on the bottom of each leg.
Work quickly to glue biscuits into the slots. Spread the glue in the slots, and onto the biscuits, with a brush.
Biscuits start to swell and lock in place soon after the glue is applied, so it's important to get the shelves assembled quickly.
Here's where a helper like Jackson really comes in handy. You have to work fast to spread the glue in the biscuit slots and onto the biscuits (Photo 8), and then assemble the parts before the glue starts to swell the biscuits (Photo 9).
Start by arranging all the parts on your work surface. Justin used a flux brush to spread the glue in the slots, and onto the biscuits after they were installed. Any small brush will work, though. When you have everything assembled, install clamps to hold the sides tight to the shelves while the glue dries. Check by using a framing square or by measuring diagonally from opposite corners to make sure the bookcase is square. Adjust it if needed. Then tighten the clamps. This is a good time to take a break while you let the glue dry for about an hour.
Use a router and a 45-degree chamfering bit to bevel the front and sides of the top. Jackson held the top to keep it from shifting on the Bench Cookies (available at www.rockler.com).
To minimize potential cupping, we decided to make the top by gluing two pieces of 1x6 together rather than using a solid board. Choose a straight piece of 1x6 with a sharp, clean edge. Cut the pieces long and trim the top to length after you glue the two parts together. For pro tips on gluing boards edge-to-edge, see "Edge Gluing Boards" . Justin and Jackson cut biscuit slots in the sides of the two 1x6s to help hold them in alignment while installing the clamps. Glue and clamp the two 1x6s. Then let the glue set up about 30 minutes before routing the edge (Photo 10).
Spread the glue and insert the biscuits. Then glue on the legs. Clamp them and wait for the glue to dry before moving on to install the top and back.
Drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. Then screw the boards to the back of the bookcase. With a little coaching, Jackson was driving screws like a pro.
The legs are held to the sides of the bookcase with biscuits. When attached, the legs should protrude 1/2 in. past the outside, and overlap the shelves by 1/4 in. Glue in the biscuits, spread a line of glue along the edge of the side, and clamp the legs to the sides (Photo 11). Let the glue set for about 30 minutes.
Drill four 3/8-in. holes at the corners of the bookcase top. The holes are oversized to allow the top to expand and contract. Attach the top with four 1-1/4-in. screws and 1/4-in. washers.
Complete the bookcase by screwing the four 1x6s to the back of the unit (Photo 12). Drill 1/8-in. pilot holes for the screws to avoid splitting.
A little final sanding and the bookcase was ready for finish. When we left them, Justin and Jackson were discussing finishing options but were leaning toward a wipe-on oil finish. Our build-it-together bookcase was a great success—give it a go with your up-and-coming woodworker.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a 45-degree chamfer bit for the router.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Greg Ross
Steven Pinker is the Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard and the author of The Blank Slate (Viking, 2002), The Language Instinct (W. Morrow and Co., 1994) and How the Mind Works (Norton, 1997). He has won numerous prizes for his teaching, research and books.
Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I'm an experimental psychologist who is interested in every aspect of the human mind, though my research concentrates on language—how it works, how children acquire it, how it evolved, where it is computed in the brain. I was born in Montreal and studied at McGill, and have spent most of my life since then shuttling between MIT and Harvard, where I rejoined the psychology department a year ago. I teach a big course called "The Human Mind" and have written a number of books for a general audience, including The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, Words and Rules (Basic, 1999) and The Blank Slate. My most recent book is an edited collection, The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2004 (Houghton Mifflin).
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure? Why did you choose them, and what do you think of them?
A History of Force, by James Payne (Lytton, 2003), an obscure but fascinating book which documents how—contrary to popular opinion—violence has steadily declined in the West over the past few centuries. Torture, genocide, murders, deadly riots and slavery used to be the rule, not the exception. If we could identify and bottle the causes of this massive trend, we could live in an even less violent world. The Last Word, by Thomas Nagel (Oxford University Press, 1997), which defends the objective reality of reason and ethics by noting that any defense of relativism refutes itself by the very act of saying that relativism is correct or good. Brazzaville Beach, by William Boyd (W. Morrow, 1990), a clever novel about a primatologist who observes deadly violence in her chimpanzees and has to deal with the wrath of the project leader, who has just published a book called The Peaceful Primate. It's an example of one of my favorite genres—novels in which one character is a cognitive scientist caught up in great themes of literature that are also themes of the sciences of mind, such as reason, emotion, free will, consciousness and memory. Rebecca Goldstein's The Mind-Body Problem (Random House, 1983) features a witty young philosopher who grapples with that problem both as a research topic and in her own attractions to the cerebral and the carnal. David Lodge's Thinks ... (Viking, 2001) explores the different ways that consciousness is understood in art and science through an affair between an English professor and a cognitive scientist. Other examples are Richard Dooling's Brain Storm (Random House, 1998), Carole Cadwalladr's forthcoming The Family Tree (Dutton, 2005), Ian McEwan's Enduring Love (Thorndike Press, 1998), Michael Frayn's The Tin Men (Little, Brown, 1965) and Ann Bernays's Professor Romeo (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1989).
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
I read tedious or stressful professional material in situations where I'm already not having a good time, like airplanes or in my office between meetings during a hectic day. I read for pleasure over lunch and before bed.
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why?
Contemporary fiction: Rebecca Goldstein, Ian McEwan, Alison Lurie, David Lodge, Norman Rush, Tom Wolfe. Nonfiction: Malcolm Gladwell, Robert Wright, Adam Gopnik, Matt Ridley, Virginia Postrel, Thomas Sowell. Their writing exemplifies a love of my two professional interests: language and human nature.
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.
I couldn't honestly pick three, but here are the ones that I cited at the end of The Blank Slate as exploring some of the major themes about human nature that I discussed in that book: Huckleberry Finn (1884), Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and Isaac Bashevis Singer's Enemies: A Love Story (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1972).
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
There are too many to mention, but I'd include Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene (Oxford University Press, 1976) and The Blind Watchmaker (Norton, 1986), for defending the centrality of evolution in understanding life and behavior; Judith Rich Harris's The Nurture Assumption (Free Press, 1998), for showing how to think about genes, environments and chance in the shaping of children; and Colin McGinn's Problems in Philosophy (Blackwell, 1993), for suggesting that there may be conceptual puzzles that the human mind is biologically incapable of solving.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
Two magisterial histories: Richard Dawkins's The Ancestor's Tale (Houghton Mifflin, 2004), on the history of life, and David Crystal's The Stories of English (Overlook Press, 2004), on our language.
What book recommendations do you have for young readers?
I think smart teenagers can read the same kinds of books that adults do. Certainly any of the ones I've mentioned here. As a teenager I particularly liked George Gamow's One, Two, Three ... Infinity (Viking, 1947).
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
Just about anything by Richard Dawkins, Matt Ridley, John Allen Paulos, Dan Dennett, Jared Diamond, Robert Sapolsky or William Poundstone.
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend for scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
I'd have to recommend my own How the Mind Works, because its subject matter is how the mind works.

Marie Osmond
After spending the '60s as variety-show fixtures, the Osmonds shot to pop stardom in 1970, and before long the group's management encouraged Marie to try her hand at recording as well. She made several concert appearances with her brothers (though she was never officially a member of the Osmonds), and in 1973 she cut her first single, the country tune "Paper Roses." The song was a gold-selling smash, going to number one on the country charts (the first time a female artist's debut single had ever done so) and into the Top Five on the pop charts. Her accompanying album of the same name also topped the country charts, and Osmond followed it with two more albums for MGM and several more singles, none of which matched its success.
In 1976, she and brother Donny began hosting their own weekly variety show, Donny & Marie, which ran until 1979. In the meantime, she also began to pursue acting; she famously turned down the lead role in Grease because she didn't approve of the script's moral content but found limited success in a series of TV movies and later did voice-over work for several children's cartoons. In the mid-'80s, she returned to country music and signed with Curb, scoring a number one hit right out of the box with the Dan Seals duet "Meet Me in Montana." Her solo follow-up, "There's No Stopping Your Heart," also topped the country charts, and she landed two more big hits in 1986 with the Top Five solo track "Read My Lips" and the number one Paul Davis duet "You're Still New to Me." None of her subsequent singles breached the country Top Ten, though 1987's "I Only Wanted You" came close, and she charted for the final time in 1990 with "Like a Hurricane."
Osmond spent much of the '90s in touring musicals and returned to television in 1998 as co-host of the daytime talk show Donny & Marie, which ran for two seasons. In the early 2000s, Osmond made prominent appearances on the reality television shows Celebrity Duets (as a judge) and Dancing with the Stars. In 2007 she released the seasonal Magic of Christmas, her first studio album in almost 20 years. It was followed in 2010 by I Can Do This, a collection of spirituals and hymns. Osmond has also written several self-help books, including one dealing with her own bout of postpartum depression. In 2016, she released her tenth studio album, Music Is Medicine, which featured guest appearances from Olivia Newton-John, Sisqo, John Rich, Alex Boye, and others. ~ Steve Huey

The garments you wear during a shortage of underwear, when you haven't done laundry in several weeks or months. Usually characterized by lack of elasticity, holes (usually large and awkwardly located), stains, and typically are at least 5 - 10 years old. In some cases soccer shorts, underwear of unknown origin, thongs, bathing suit bottoms, or 'granny panties' can be considered famine underwear, but do not necessarily meet the above criteria.
I haven't done laundry in weeks, so I'm wearing my famine underwear, the boxers I made in home economics in middle school.

Has anyone tried these http://beekeeping.honeypaw.fi/Slit-uncapping.php ?? Are they available in the US? Do they work well on capped honey in old brood comb? Another link with photos. http://taru.ee/pood/honey-paw-viilkoorija

Fascinating. I want one.
I like the look but I can't determin if they are even for sale yet. They don't seem to post a price any where.
If you find out, Please let us know in another post or a followup.

It said 220 Euro. That is about 300 US dollars.

I got one. It was a little complicated to get the funds wired to their bank but it arrived a week after I paid for it. It works great. After uncapping 9 supers there is less than 1 shot glass of wax that is removed from the comb. It takes the bees about 1-2 days to rebuild the cells completely.

It uses steam from a steam generator. I purchased a small one used for bending wood. Here is what I purchased:

Has anyone else tried this uncapper? If so, what's your opinion?
http://OxaVap.com Your source for the ProVap 110
OA Vaporizer. The fastest vaporizer on the market!
I'm planning to order one when they send me the invoice. Will provide feedback after trying it.
I was pleased with the uncapper.
We extracted 4 deeps this weekend. All the wax that ran through the extractor resulted in about 1 cup of wax that was caught by the wire strainers.
The new combs uncapped quickly. We had some older combs that had brood in them in the past that took longer to melt through.
I think it was a little slower than using a hot knife, but there was no need to get a capping scratcher to hit the low spots. There was no waiting for the capping honey to drain out of the cappings (since there were none). The uncapper itself did not get sticky. I think we could speed up and maybe not have the slits as deep next time.
I could uncap 10 frames in the time it took to spin 10 frames, so things rolled along.
You do need to work through a hose management matter. You have a steam hose and a water vapor hose to work with. It took just a few minutes to engineer something in the basement to keep the hoses high so that your hand was not on the steam hose and you were not dragging the hoses across the frames as you uncapped.
All in all, I was pleased with the first time of using the uncapper.
It cost 170.73 Euros plus 35 Euros for shipping to Alabama from Finland. So, 205.73 Euros total (about $280)
(I got it from this website http://beekeeping.honeypaw.fi/Slit-uncapping.php by contacting the email address at the bottom firstname.lastname@example.com. They e-mailed an invoice with their bank wire instructions.)
It was a minor ordeal at the bank to wire the funds from a non-business account. It took a week from the time they shipped it until it arrived.
When spinning the honey out does it take the same amount of time compared to uncapping with an uncapping knife. Can you show a close up of an uncapped frame before and after extracted?
They really need an American dealer.
I'm confused. Do these comes with a steam source or does one need to purchase on in addition to the uncapper?
"Challenger" as in the Mopar muscle car. Not a personality description .
Keeping bees to raise money for chordoma.
Propolis in Canada now sells it, with the steam generator.
catalog is a PDF on the right side of the page. At $550CA, steep. Greg Lowe paid about $280 shipped from Finland. In fairness, it does include the steam generator though.
We just finished extracting with a honey paw. Loved it. - Much faster than a hot knife, Much easier on aged hands (we extracted around 1,200 pounds of honey). We hooked it to a steamer that is made for wall paper removal (rented locally, so that was an added expense, but not much). I love it. The hardest part of the whole thing was buying it - but then I was worried: send $300 overseas to something on line - not really a calm experience. They do need a US distributor
There is a youtube video.
My friend bought a slit uncapper for this season and is very pleased with the quality of the product. I didn't get to see it at work but I'm very eager to get one myself. I checked the website of Honey Paw and Slit uncapper need separate heating to work. My friend got the steam heating unit from Honey Paw as well. Here is the direct link to manufacturer's (Honey Paw) website: http://www.mesi.fi/en/products/web-c...slit-uncapper/
Also I found this youtube clip showing slit uncapper at work. Video seems to be with extraction line, but shows slit uncapper use well enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgRU1nEuWGY
Anybody use this? Got any more recent/new reviews?

CarComplaints.com Notes: Yes, the Honda Civic receives a lot of complaints because so many were sold. And sure, car parts only last so long and things eventually break. But it's never good to see this many transmission complaints, especially when the average mileage at failure is just north of 100,000 miles.
Especially when you consider that it's predecessor also has a nasty history with transmission complaints.

The images below represent a snapshot of the latest tsunami gauge recordings for operational instruments in the New Zealand region.
The timestamp shown at the top right of the diagrams below is the time when the images were last refreshed. The previous 36 hours of sea level variations from all operational sites are displayed, oldest to most recent from left to right. Within the sampling period of one minute, the dark part of the trace shows the average sea level height, whilst the grey part shows the maximum and minimum values.
- The most obvious feature of actual sea level recordings is the natural daily tidal variation, about 12 hours between each high or low tide
- Sheltered harbour installations such as Tauranga and Wellington show very little "grey" variation.
- De-tided readings are only available for sites where the tidal model has been computed. An initial model requires several months of data to be collected first.
