Beautiful Hotel. Friendly staff - sometimes a bit too fawning . Excellent location. Outstanding restaurant. Was upgraded at no extra cost to villa which was absolutely amazing. Only criticism was that the outdoor bath did not work and they could not replace a faulty hairdryer. Gardens and facility well kept.

Stayed for the first five days of our honeymoon. Couldn t have been better. The resort and staff are top notch. Breakfast was great, swim-up bar drinks excellent, beach chairs and umbrellas nice, great location, and on and on. The sand is not as nice as at Chaweng, but it s such a nicer, more relaxed scene at Bophut and who cares about sand when you re sitting in a lounge chair most of the day. Fantastic job Anantara!

Sawadee was extremely responsive and did a good job.

Accommodation and facilities:
Resort was lovely. Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. Everyone was especially terrific with our 7 month old daughter, playing with her during meal times where possible so we could eat in peace. A short walk to the Fisherman s Village which basically provides variety in eating options but prices are very similar to the hotel. Note - suites do not have a separate bedroom - they are essentially open plan rooms twice the size of a regular room. This wasn t what we expected and if travelling with children who need to go to bed earlier than the adults is worth noting. Food at all 3 restaurants was very good. It is right on the beach (which is a lovely crescent of white sand but the water wasn t particularly clear - maybe to do with tides/wind churning things up). I recommend Anantara Boh Phut very highly - we had a wonderful 2 week stay there.
Reservation service:
Everything with our booking was clear and exactly as stated and we found the best prices here for this resort.

The Anantara Bophut Resort was a very pleasant surprise. Gorgeous Resort and impeccable service. Staff were exceptionally friendly and couldn t be more helpful. While the clientele may be a little stodgy preferring to sun by the pool and sea rather than swim in it, we enjoyed the water vey much. Bhoput is still a relaxed part of Ko Samui and has the Fisherman s Village and many restaurants nearby. Highly Recommended !

CNN: Could Rubio sipping that water be a career-ender?
posted at 7:21 pm on February 13, 2013 by Allahpundit
And so, at long last, American media reaches peak moron. I'm just thankful that Newsbusters was there to capture it. They've waited years for this moment and now, finally, it's here. Cherish it, guys.
CNN's excuse? Satire, of course. The sort of satire for which CNN is world renowned.
"We are joking, it was a tease," CNN Public Relations wrote to POLITICO, via Twitter.
"It was simply a tease (posing a question) leading up to a segment with our political contributors—when Wolf [Blitzer] specifically said no one thinks this will be a career ender," CNN spokesperson Edie Emery later told POLITICO via email.
Judge for yourself whether Blitz was playing for laughs. I confess, as I was writing this post this morning, I thought maybe I was being the teensiest bit unfair in indicting the media for peeing themselves over Rubio's quick-sip. Sure, they had devoted thousands of times more coverage to it than it deserved, but they weren't really "taking it seriously." Then I saw the AP's article, and then I saw this. Vindication.
Rubio's still having fun with it too:
Picked up over 13,000 new followers on #twitter since last night! Im going to start drinking #water in the middle of all of my speeches!
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) February 13, 2013
Exit question: Is this headline set the media's version of "cleverness" or just a sly way to impugn him to really, really low-information voters?

Family of NM teen accused of rape opens up to ABC-7
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Court documents obtained by ABC-7 show Lazarus Delaurentis, 14, told investigators he was having sex with two of his young relatives, but he said it was consensual.
Investigators are concerned with how advanced Delaurentis' thought process of allegedly sexually abusing these girls seems to be.
"This was not just one incident. This is an ongoing, planned out and over and over again act on the respondent's part," District Attorney Amy Orlando told ABC-7.
According to court documents, Delaurentis was having sex with two young girls eight years old or younger. One girl told investigators he had sex with her twenty times over the course of several months.
Investigators said one of the girls told them this had been going on for several years.
In the documents, Lazarus told investigators the girls "liked it" and admitted to having sex six times with one girl and once with the other.
A family member who did not want to be identified tells me Delaurentis' reputation has been blown out of proportion.
"Everybody in town thinks he's a sexual predator. He's not. He's a 14 year old boy," the family member said.
Court documents reveal Delaurentis would play a game called "Vampire" with the little girls. He would allegedly taken them into a dark closet and kiss them, leading up to the sexual acts.
"There were adults there but they weren't being watched, the teenagers weren't. I can't personally say exactly what's going on there, but I just think maybe that was part of the problem too. The no supervision," the family member said.
The family member tells me she does not think Delaurentis committed a crime.
"Every man I know so far has said, 'Oh, boys go through that at that age.' They explore with family, especially family and friends, and almost every man has said that so far," the family member told ABC-7.
Investigators are concerned about how things developed.
"Where would he learn this behavior? Did he see it? Is he following the instructions of somebody else? We don't know that," Orlando said.
For now, the family told ABC-7 they just want the young boy to get the help they feel he needs.
"We're very relieved that this came out in the way that he's going to get help now. He has some problems, and he's going to get help and we're seeking help," the family member said.
Delaurentis is charged with seven counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor. Officials said he could face additional charges and could even be tried as an adult. If convicted as an adult, Delaurentis could face up to 96 years in prison.


text: Can you help me to understand what might have happened to the colony so I can prevent this in the future. This was a super stong colony going into the winter. I checked it about a month ago and it seemed to be ok. Today it got into the mid 50's so I checked out some of the hives today and this is what I found. 99% of the bees are gone. A handfull of dead bees on the bottom screen and on small cluster of bees. I see eggs everywhere. The frame the small cluster is on is fill of eggs on both the left and right side. The cells are literally packed with eggs. As much as they can hold. The dead bees also have eggs on their bodies. I have only been doing this a few years but I have never seen or heard of anything like this. I should also mention that I left a full super on this hive going into the winter and it was still about 3/4 full. Any input would be appreciated.


text: I'm planning on trying my hand at raising some queens in the spring but given this is a new venture for me I'm wondering what to do with all the queens once they are bred. I'm a little uncomfortable selling them unless I have at least a full season or two with them first. I'm hoping that raising and selling queens and nucs can be a long term venture and don't want to sell a product I wouldn't want in my own apiary. I plan on adding maybe a dozen full hives that I'm hoping to stock with my own queens for evaluation but I would like to do more practice with grafting and get an idea on how well I can get queen mated. Just squish the extras?

Sheriff Maketa believes support is waning on new gun laws
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The top law officer in El Paso County believes the tide is turning on gun reform measures as more people see the actual laws set take effect July 1.
"I think the public education part of it is starting to sway the voters to where it's not an even split now," said Sheriff Terry Maketa. "I think there are a lot of people that are really beginning to question it and that's what I'm hearing from citizens."
Earlier this year, Colorado lawmakers approved two new gun control laws. One would limit the number of bullets that can be loaded through ammo magazines. By mid-summer, it will be illegal to purchase a magazine with more than 15 bullets in the state. The second law would expand background checks for all gun purchases and most transfers of ownership.
This week, the president of the United States visited Colorado to praise the work ahead of critical votes next week in the U.S. Congress on gun control measures.
"Everyday we wait to do something about it, even more of our fellow citizens are stolen from our lives by bullets from a gun," said Barack Obama. "Colorado already chose to do something about it."
Maketa doesn't believe the new laws will make the public any safer, though.
"I would venture to guess that eight out of 10 violations are going to be innocent violations by law-abiding citizens with no criminal intent -- it's going to be mere activity that they didn't realize was against the law," said Maketa.
On the expanded background checks law, Maketa criticizes lawmakers for making it a crime for people to use their good friends' weapons.
"Where this one really becomes overreaching is it defines a transfer simply as me loaning a weapon to a neighbor who has been a personal friend for 30 years," said Maketa. "I can't loan it up to him for more than 72 hours without a background check."
Maketa believes the same restrictions apply to house guests who may need to use a weapon in the house for protection.
Maketa said if the law limited the required background check to sales or transfers of ownership between strangers it would be a more effective law.
The sheriff also disagrees with the limited magazine law. He believes it is unenforceable.
"There really isn't any enforcement until after another crime has occurred or it has been brought to the attention of law enforcement -- which is usually through the action of another crime," said Maketa.
Maketa believes it's nearly impossible for the magazine limit law to be a preventive tool for law enforcement.
"A law enforcement official cannot look at these and determine, number one, when were they manufactured and, number two, you would have no probable cause or reasonable suspicion to question me about when I purchased the high capacity ammo if I'm doing nothing wrong," said Maketa.
Maketa's words on gun reform have been taken out of context in the past. In March, he led a town hall meeting on gun laws working their way through the legislature. Several national and local media outlets reported that he would not obey new gun laws that were passed, something that was inaccurate.
"The representation that I said I would not enforce any of them is simply not true," said Maketa.
He believes those media outlets have purposely misused his comments to make him look uncredible on the issue of gun reform.
"We have laws today I don't agree with but we enforce them with the same diligence to represent victims as we would any other law, and I expect my deputies to do that," said Maketa.
Maketa hopes lawmakers revisit these two gun issues or a lawsuit is filed to block what's already been passed.

Chef's Hat: The harvest begins
For the past couple of weeks I have been happily harvesting beans, cucumbers, carrots and fresh herbs from my small garden.
A couple of people have contacted me and asked if the mild weather we had earlier has had an effect on vegetables plants, especially tomatoes. I don't know about other area gardens, but I have already eaten two luscious tomatoes and have several more that are in the orange-ish stage and about to turn red. There are also dozens more green tomatoes on the vine that are just starting to show signs of ripening.
So, no, in my opinion, the cooler weather has not had any bearing on vegetable plants. However, that being said, there are many factors involved in healthy plants: too much water or not enough water, too much food or not enough food, bugs and, in my yard, dogs running through the garden.
But, all in all, I must admit I am quite happy with the vegetables that I have been picking, cooking and eating.
For me, this is a great tomato year with lots of the large, juicy fruits sitting on the vine. So I decided to dig out some old recipes I have not done for awhile. Years ago I came across a Toasted Tomato Salad recipe. I was sure that recipe was in a green spiral notebook I've had for 20-plus years. Naturally, when I went to look for the book I could not find it. After taking all of the cookbooks out of the cupboard it was found hiding under a magazine. Then, as luck had it, the recipe was not in there.
So not willing to give up I tried looking through a couple of three-ring binders. No such luck, either. Then, in sheer desperation, I tried looking through a pocket in one of the binders where I put recipes that needed to be filed.
Yes, there it was! So I am happy to share this with my readers. It is easy and can actually be an entire meal.
Something just a tad bit unusual, at least in our area, is Maque choux. It is a traditional dish from southern Louisiana and like many Cajun or creole type recipes, you can mix and add whatever you have on hand. This makes a great side dish for pork, beef or chicken.
So ready, set, harvest! Happy eating.

Who did McShay have us taking?
No Jarvis Jones? He's gotta go somewhere. How far? I can't see past NYJ, SD, or the Saints.
Jarvis Jones Expected To Slide on Draft Day
Georgia outside linebacker Jarvis Jones had been one of the most dominant football players in college football the past two seasons. He's destroyed the SEC for those two years, as many consider him to be one of the most talented players in the 2013 NFL Draft class. Jones is on top of my 2013 NFL Draft Big Board, as well as ESPN's Mel Kiper's.
However, after speaking with scouts at the East-West Shrine Game who have Jones in their territory, they say they expect Jones to slide down and fall out of the top five next April.
The scouts said there are a few reasons that could add up to Jones falling into the 6-10 range. First of all, the scouts said that Jones is not a good workout guy. They don't believe that he is going to test well or stand out in the Combine or pre-draft workouts. Area scouts who cover Georgia say that Jones is not a weight-room guy. He doesn't put a lot of work in during the week, but would show up on Saturday and dominate naturally.
They said that Jones is a good guy and a good teammate, but just isn't a tireless worker. As one scout said, "Don't get me wrong, if you watch his tapes you'll say he is worth being the No. 1 rated player and going in the top five of the draft. You can watch him on Saturdays and see that this guy is animal. He's clearly the best player on the field, but not a guy that you'll be in love with during the week. Add in the medical concern and with the testing, and I think he's going to slide some on Draft Day."
Jones' medical condition is a spinal stenosis that happened as a freshman at USC. On a routine hit against Oregon, Jones sustained the injury. A specialist told him he would be fine, but USC's doctors wouldn't clear him and told him he should retire from football. After transferring to Georgia, Jones broke out as one of the best players in college football.
As a junior, Jones had 85 tackles, 14.5 sacks, 24.5 tackles for a loss, seven forced fumbles, three passes broken up and one interception in 2012. Jones had massive performances against Florida and Missouri with consistently good outings all year. Jones led the nation in sacks and for the second straight season had the most sacks in the SEC.
In 2011, he tied for the second-most sacks in the nation, 13.5. He also had 70 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles.
Jones could be a classic example of teams overthinking the draft process. Over the history of the draft, good players have slid because of an unnecessary medical concerns or not working out well at the Combine. If Jones plays in the NFL like he did at Georgia, he'll reward whomever takes him on Draft Day with plenty of teams feeling regret.

Matthew D'Oyly and John Jobson of the residential life staff at Hope College will both be making presentations during the annual national convention of the American College Personnel Association (ACPA), being held in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday-Wednesday, March 29-April 2.
Jobson, who is assistant dean of students and director of residential life and housing, will present "Drawing on the Past; Charting the Future: Identity in College." The presentation will share the results of a study of seven female students that focused on ways that their identity changed during their time at the college and the elements of their experience that they identified as having an impact on that change.
D'Oyly, who is residential life coordinator in Kollen Hall, will present "Shifting Cultural Perceptions of Alcohol through Icon, Word and Practice," with Jobson serving as a co-presenter. The presentation will focus on the college's "1:1 (if at all)" alcohol education campaign with an emphasis on sharing different and creative ways to start conversations surrounding safe and responsible alcohol use through icon, word and practice.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., at the National Center for Higher Education, the ACPA is the leading comprehensive student affairs association that advances student affairs and engages students for a lifetime of learning and discovery. Founded in 1924 by May L. Cheney, the ACPA has nearly 9,000 members representing 1,500 private and public institutions from across the U.S. and around the world.

Clinton Randell presents TV2 careers show Just The Job.
The book I love most is ... Andre Agassi's autobiography, Open. Even if you're not a huge fan of tennis you will love this.
The book I'm reading now is ... Bear Grylls' Mud Sweat And Tears. I've heard great things. Besides, people always say the book is better than the movie so let's hope that theory also applies to TV shows.
The book I'd like to read next is ... Fathers Who Dare Win by Ian Grant. I'm 28 next year so the little ankle biters probably aren't too far off, to be honest.
My favourite bookshop is ... the one that has a big sale sign out front!
The book that changed me ... The Bible. So many great stories and encouraging messages about ways to enrich your life and the lives of others.
The book I wish I'd never read was ... Fifty Shades Of Grey by E.L. James ... Just kidding! But I wish I knew what all the fuss was about.

Back to pit fired slab vases. A silicon sealer would work for a while but probably not forever. There would probably be a need to re-coat it just as one reseals wood decks.
I prefer to think of the pit fired process as non-functional and work on beautiful surfaces that are more interesting than functional.
I have been TOLD that oil lamps need a sealer inside, since the fuel will find its way through the most minute cracks in the glaze. several supply houses sell such a product. Will it work on unvitrified ware? Who knows. . .

Certification Paths?
I am a recent graduate from a university, getting my B.S. in Information Management. I worked 2 jobs during the school year doing a little tech support. Now I am out in the real world as a Data Analyst, but to be honest it is not as challenging or technical as I hoped it would have been. Now I am looking into nabbing some certifications and I have done some research. What I have so far mapped in my head is Network+ > Security+ > GSEC or CISSP (or both) and then go into specific certs based on what I choose my career path to be (leaning towards security or mobile app/mobile app security). Any suggestions or comments would help. Also I've heard a lot about the Cisco and Microsoft certs but I do not know how god they will do me or not? Thanks guys in advance, I truly appreciate it.

Walsh talks college costs in Missoula
MISSOULA, Mont. - Senator John Walsh stopped at the University of Montana Monday for a townhall-like session on the cost of higher education.
Walsh recently sponsored a bill that would cap interest rates for student loans at 4 percent. Today, some federal loans have interest rates as high as 8 percent.
Walsh and U of M officials noted that paying off student debt sooner lets those individuals contribute to the economy sooner as well. While capping interest rates helps people who are already in debt, most of the assembled students and staff wanted solutions on how to keep students from getting that debt in the first place.
There was a consensus from University staff that more financial education is needed so students realize how thousands of dollars of debt will affect them.
Other questions included issues regarding balancing education quality with cutting costs, opportunity for students to earn more college credit in high school, and issues involving federal Pell grants.
In Montana average tuition and fees increased 55 percent during the last 10 years. During the 2013-2014 academic year, total tuition and fees averaged $6,399 -- below the average of $8,046 in the western U.S. Only Alaska and Idaho have lower tuition in the 15 western states surveyed by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.

Springs Transmissions owner, employees charged with false reporting
Accused of conspiracy and filing a false police report
FOUNTAIN, Colo. - The owner of Springs Transmissions and Automotive is facing new troubles after police said his employees totaled a customer's car and then reported it stolen.
Owner Greg Ehnes and his employees Donald McKnight and Jason White are facing misdemeanor charges of false reporting to authorities and conspiracy.
Police said McKnight and White were driving the customer's car in July when they crashed into a guardrail on I-25 in Fountain and fled the vehicle. Police said Ehnes knew about the crash as well as his employees' false report that they were held at gunpoint by two men who stole the car.
TARGET 13 Investigates spoke to the owner of the vehicle, Crystal Riese. She said Ehnes told her about the alleged car theft, but, eventually, police informed her about what they believed really happened.
"I just called my husband and I cried," said Riese. "I loved my truck."
She said her insurance company paid for a smaller vehicle that isn't conducive to her large family. She said she was responsible for a $500 deductible and other costs.
"I actually called Greg Ehnes and said 'Are you willing to help with any of this?'" said Riese. "He said he had to go do payroll, so sue him."
TARGET 13 contacted Ehnes in his shop late Tuesday. He said he believed his employees when they told him about the theft, and he never intentionally lied to police.
"I told (police) what I was told," said Ehnes. "Maybe that wasn't the truth. I just told them what the employees told me."
He also said Riese's insurance company wants to make him pay for her totaled car. He said he has not paid anything yet.
Detectives said, during their investigation, they learned that Ehnes regularly allows his employees to take customer vehicles home.
Riese said she had permitted Ehnes' mechanic to drive her car only to pick up a part. She said she believes the employees should be facing felony theft charges, not just misdemeanor offenses.
Fountain Police are still looking for Jason White. White's girlfriend, Cassie Bernard, is being charged with false reporting because police said she picked the two men up after the crash and lied to investigators during an interview.
Springs Transmission and Automotive is also being investigated by Colorado Springs Police for possible theft through fraudulent business practices. Police said there may be upwards of 50 victims. Click here for more information on that investigation.


text: This is important. You can say "next man up" over and over. But imagine if the 49ers lost Willis, Bowman, Sopoaga, McDonald, and Gholdson on defense. That'd be about what we have without Lee, Carter, Ratliff, Coleman, and Church. Yes, we'll get Rat back but still this is pretty extreme.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice apartment. Perfect for a weekend trip.
Clean and nice staff. Well located, one was
fast in the center. Would it at any time
Sehr schönes Apartment. Perfekt für einen Weekendtrip.
Sauber und nettes Personal. Gut gelegen, man war
schnell im Zentrum. Würde es jederzeit wieder
This is a perfect appartment for a stay in London. Just 2 Minutes by foot to the tube or bus lines, the Tower and the City in walking distance. The appartment ist very comfortable and made us feel at home. It was easy and comfortable to check in and out, our host Tahir was very friendly and helpful. I can recommend this appartment without hesitation!
We had a great few days in London thanks to the beautiful apartments in good Lage.Unser contact had some great tips to stay, food, sights off the üblichen.Das apartment was very clean, great bathroom and good facilities. When a problem we were helped immediately.
A few meters in front of the apartment can be conveniently borrow bicycles with the Barclay bike system and with this we have seen a lot in London. However, you have to drive at rush hour with very open eyes!
Wir hatten ein paar tolle Tage in London auch dank des wunderschönen Apartments in guter Lage.Unser Ansprechpartner hatte ein paar tolle Tipps zu Aufenthalt, Essen, Sehenswürdigkeiten abseits der üblichen.Das Apartment war sehr sauber, tolles Bad und gute Ausstattung. Bei einem Problem wurde uns sofort geholfen.
Einige Meter vor dem Apartment lassen sich günstig Fahrräder leihen mit dem Barclay bike System und mit diesen haben wir einiges in London gesehen. Zur Rush hour muss man allerdings mit sehr wachen Augen fahren!
Nice Apartment, very small bathroom, but ok for short stay.
Key in the locker - everything worked fine
we ejoyed our stay very much . two nice rooms ,clean, new, nothing missing.
the road is quite noisy.but we would come again . Thnks Tahir !
Great location. You are close to the subway and you can also easily walk to East end, Docklands. Apartment is clean and pleasant. Disadvantage is the traffic noise.
Prima locatie. Je bent dichtbij de metro en je kunt ook makkelijk lopen naar East end, Docklands. Appartement is schoon en prettig. Nadeel is wel het verkeersgeluid.
Lovely and clean apartment at a main road well situated within walking distance of public transport (tube (3-5 minutes) and busses (same street)), 10 minutes walk to/from Liverpool Station.
Friendly furnished modern apartment equipped with nearly everything you need for your stay (inclusive bed-linens and bath-towels - in case you ask yourself whether you have to bring them along). Mostly we went out for dinning, but the kitchen provides nearly everything you need for cooking including "starter portions" of sugar/salt/pepper/tea.
We enjoyed our stay at London and whenever we are to come back we would reconsider booking this apartment. It might not be a good idea to do such a positive advertising as this probably will reduce any chances to find a free booking period in foreseeable future, damn! ;-) I will see what I can do to remember any bad side effects there might have been ;-).
And, by the way the host (Kay = Tahir's colleague) was a pleasant young mean who has accompanied us with committed support including a short overview what you could do around the area.
Baggage deposit within the hosts office on the last day of staying is possible.
And last but not least, there weren't any problems getting back the cash deposit.
Very warm welcome in this tastefully furnished apartment! The host gave us great suggestions on where to have lunch and which sites to see. We stayed for two nights and highly recommend this apartment to others visiting London!
The apartment we stayed in is probably a bit small for 3 adults, but corresponds to the description on the site. Bathroom well designed and comfortable. Located near a metro station, shops and very close to the City and the River Thames (Tower Bridge), we enjoyed the location in an area undergoing renovation. The very friendly host gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We would recommend this lovely place to address did not have to wait at the time of our arrival and departure.
L'appartement que nous avons occupé est sans doute un peu petit pour 3 adultes, mais correspond bien à la description faite sur le site. Salle de bains bien conçue et confortable. Situé près d'une bouche de métro, de commerces et très près de la City et de la Tamise (Tower Bridge), nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette localisation dans un quartier en pleine rénovation. L'hôte très sympathique nous a donné beaucoup d'adresses de restaurants et de choses à voir. Nous recommanderons cette adresse agréable où n'avons pas eu à attendre au moment de notre arrivée et de notre départ.
I must advise everyone this apartment, Tahir's brother welcomed us in a manner so warm and friendly that it felt like we were at home. Made us feel at home in every way, apartment is as seen in the photos. The only thing I wanted to point out to Tahir and his brother if they could clean under the bed because it was very dirty and people like me who are allergic to dust affected. Thanks again for the tickets printed, we will come back soon to find you.

Original post by Fournicolas
Of course, if you want to have a player oriented economy in any MMO, you need to have ALL OBJECTS CRAFTED!!! And you also need to have ALL THE MONEY MINTED!! which means that there is NO GOLD DROP anywhere in teh world, no single spider is going to have five coins in her trousers pockets, no rat is running jingling from coins. But you have to have skills at gathering raw materials. A badly sawed jaw, or trophy doesn't have the same shock resistance than a perfectly done job. And you get more meat from the same carcass if you are a good butcher tan if you are a bad one.
If all items are crafted, you are forcing players to be crafters since that will be the best way to get money and other items you cant craft. So, a non-crafter player will remain poor, looting low quality raw materials for selling to those who can transform them into more expensive elaborated products. But theres another and larger problem, if gold cannot be dropped, how can a player get it?. If all items are crafted you cant sell to NPC traders, who usually "create" money.
Original post by Fournicolas
Fourth point, have the mobs have a sense of danger, so that you actually go HUNTING? and not ducksitting where they spawn. If the mobs actually sense danger in an encounter with you, they'll flee, and usually faster than you can catch them up. Which means that you should have the higher level folks CRAVE for something only the lower levels can get access to, as well as the other way around, just for the sake of having the money moving around, and not sitting in someone's pockets. Let's say only the lower levels, maybe only the first level, can hide their power long enough to be able to catch a fairy, or a gnome, or an imp, well, a magical creature which blood is used to enchant weapons and armors, and that said magical creatures will flee if they sense any magical creature blood in a huge radius around them? WHich means that, once you have yourself a magical weapon or armor, or anything, you have to rely on lower levels to provide you with magical creatures you cannot have access to.
Good point. Mob absurd stupidity is also another common problem in most MMO. But in any case higher level players should get a credible opportunity to catch them, to allow loot raw materials, and not depend on lower level players to get those mats.

My Bernina is ~20 yrs old. The owner's manual doesn't have anything about this issue. Is there anything in your owner's manual?
This is purely a guess: could this be a timing issue, or a setting for where the needle stops. The thread take-up should stop just past the uppermost position.

2005 More IGN Screenshots
GTA: LCS - General News | @ 06:42 PM MDT | By rappo
Although they do not have an article to go along with them, there are five new screenshots of LCS over at IGN. They don't reveal much except the NRG500 from San Andreas, the Coach, and Toni in a jogging outfit.
*UPDATE* The article to go along with these new screenshots has finally been posted. It goes over the different styles of clothing (casual, Leone suit, the Goodfellas look, the "Antonio", and sweats) that Toni will wear. Unfortunately, it is a very broad an uninteresting article.
There is a wide range of different outfits available to Toni Cipriani throughout Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Sometimes certain clothing will be needed to complete certain missions, the rest of the time Toni is free to dress as he pleases. Completing specific missions will make more outfits available.

Living in the Face of Death
The Tibetan TraditionWhereas Western society views death as the last taboo, the Tibetan tradition incorporates meditation on death into everyday life. Tibetan Buddhists believe that a conscious awareness of one's own impermanence allows a person to live a happy, fulfilled life. Over the centuries, the Tibetans have developed a wide-ranging literature on death, including inspirational poetry and prose, prayers, and practical works on caring for the dying.

New on DVD: Californication: The Fourth Season
Fans of debaucherous TV won't want to miss any of Hank Moody's adventures in this two-disc set.
Creator: Tom Kapinos
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Studio: Showtime Entertainment
It's a timeless question: does life imitate art or does art imitate life? On Showtime's Californication, David Duchovny—who has had well-publicized problems with sex addiction in real life—plays famed novelist Hank Moody, whose insatiable horniness forever threatens his relationship with his long-time girlfriend, Karen (Natascha McElhone), and their daughter, Becca (Madeleine Martin).
Season Four begins with Hank's life in Los Angeles in total shambles. He's been arrested for assault and it has come to light that he is the real author of the bestseller Fucking & Punching, which means that Mia Lewis—the girl depicted in the scandalous book—had a sexual relationship with Hank when she was underage. Hank goes on trial for statutory rape and employs the help of sexy lawyer Abby Rhodes (Carla Gugino), a strong-willed woman who inevitably ends up in the sack with Hank. When he's not being personally counseled by Abby in his room at the Chateau Marmont, Hank is hooking up with the hot young Megan Fox-ish starlet who is playing Mia in the movie of Fucking & Punching as well as her mother—a situation that implodes as soon as mother and daughter realize they are being double teamed by Moody. Meanwhile, Becca has joined an all-girl band and the father of one her bandmates has taken an interest in Karen, who has been devastated by the trial.
A curious thing about Californication is that no matter how many women Hank beds during a season, all roads lead back to Karen. Although there is no question in his mind that Karen is his soul mate, Hank is led by his penis into one dalliance after another and keeps bouncing toward and away from the home life he desperately wants that his libido just won't allow.
After four seasons of Californication, the lack of resolution between Hank and Karen is starting to wear a bit thin, but we still can't get enough of watching Duchovny behave badly. "I look like an FBI agent," groans Duchovny as he dresses up for trial, an obvious reference to looking once again like Fox Mulder from The X-Files. The supporting players are still as funny as ever with Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler) starting to get his game back as Hank's agent and Charlie's ex, Marcy (Pamela Adlon), discovering that she is pregnant with Charlie's baby after the house has been put up for sale. Charlie—taking a page from the life of best bud Hank—has moved on to try to sleep with as many women as humanly possible, including his ditsy realtor who is into all kinds or role-playing games.
The last of the 12 episodes ends with Hank driving off into the sunset alone ready to write the next chapter of his life, so who knows what the next season will bring. Fans of debaucherous TV with fearless writing and all the decadent behavior you can pack into a 30-minute episode won't want to miss any of Hank's adventures in this two-disc set.
Best extras: Available on DVD only, this set contains the first two episodes of both Gigolos and Episodes, as well as the first two episodes of The Borgias via e-bridge technology.

text: As a fitness professional, our clients come to us for advice on a wide range of subjects. They've got questions about how to lose that extra 5 pounds, when should they increase the weight on the bench press, do those new tennis shoes really help tone your backside, and should they be taking supplements to beef up, just to name a few. When preparing to become an ACE certified professional, it is important to study up on the topics and code of ethics covered under the professional responsibility umbrella. The ACE Code of Ethics can be found both on the web and in your manuals in Appendix A. A lot of what is written can be considered general common sense – "Provide safe and effective instruction" and "Maintain the confidentiality of all client information." Both things we are already aware of (bonus points for asking yourself…how do I maintain confidentiality – it's not as easy as it seems when people get to talking). But some other items under the code of ethics aren't always so cut and dried, and these are often the items that show up on test questions. Take "Refer participants to more qualified health or medical professionals when appropriate." You might ask yourself, when is it appropriate? Page 8 in the ACE Personal Trainer 4th edition Manual has a great chart of what fitness professionals DO and DO NOT. That table is reprinted from an IDEA Health & Fitness Association's Opinion Statement (nice PDF reference for those of you who don't have the PT Manual). We refer on to qualified health or medical professionals when there is a need for a diagnosis or to treat a disease or injury. A client you believe to be anorexic should be referred on to a health care provider for follow up and further referral. A client who is interested in supplements to boost their energy should be referred on to a licensed dietitian for discussion of dietary needs. Knowing when it's appropriate to refer on, and when the 'issue' is something you are qualified to handle is a bit of a learned skill. On the dos and don'ts list in the personal trainer manual, you see that we as fitness professionals don't 'counsel' – but instead coach and provide general information. Counseling implies more of a therapeutic type relationship. This concept relates to the Code of Ethics item which states "establish and maintain clear professional boundaries". Easy to say on paper, but not always the easiest thing to do. We want to listen to our clients, empathize with their troubles, and figure out why things aren't working out for them – especially if it affects regular attendance at the gym. The challenge comes in establishing that line between trainer and friend. Being friendly and professional at the same time. When you are preparing to take your certification exam you may notice that the "Professional Responsibilities" domain is the smallest of the four domains. However, it can be the domain that raises the most questions. Leading an ethical and professional career as an ACE certified professional is something that takes careful thought and preparation. The material in your manual is only the first step. Questions? Contact one of our Education Consultants at 1-888-825-3636 x782.

|World public health, intellectual property rights, and pharmaceutical compulsory licensing : a defense of a market-based alternative
|Cheesbro, Benjamin W.
|Globalization has brought with it many complex challenges. Increasingly people around the world have become linked to one another, and, as a result, people are far more aware of living conditions around the world. This heightened consciousness often shapes important decisions. Modern public policy, private social activism, and political maneuvering have all been motivated by this global perspective. As this trend toward worldwide interconnectedness continues, certain issues emerge as the most hotly debated and the most pressing. Two that stand out are world public health and intellectual property rights. Public health frequently takes center stage as a global issue. The prominence of public health stems from two concerns. First, increased awareness generated by globalization illuminates disparities in public health levels among nations. People in nations with exceptionally high levels of public health are becoming much more conscious of people living with levels at the opposite end of the spectrum. This heightened consciousness creates motivations to close the gap. The second reason is the understanding that national health levels are interdependent. A concept of global public health emerges. Communicable diseases, pandemics, and epidemics spread around the world with ever increasing speed. World leaders and health officials both realize that protectionism with respect to public health is not merely weak policy, but is ultimately ineffective. Concerns such as the spread of AIDS, Bird Flu outbreaks, and risks of malaria have inspired many people to view public health as less a local responsibility, and more the obligation of the entire world. International trade of information is also becoming an increasingly important issue. Cultures, businesses, and governments have all begun to emphasize the importance of the exchange of knowledge and data. Accordingly, it is understandable that legal structures designed to protect the creative and innovative works of man, called intellectual property rights, have generated considerable attention. These protections are not only legal tools, but also economic enablers that provide an opportunity for commercial gain. Not all nations derive the same benefits from these structures. Some countries are able to generate new creations at feverish rates, while others are so poor that they are unable to devote any resources to invention. This disparity has led to much criticism of universal enforcement of intellectual property rights in all nations. It is the nexus of these two issues upon which this work focuses. Where intellectual property rights and global public health meet is a fascinating point of intersection. In particular, patents are the cornerstone of modern intellectual property right regimes. The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on these patents (Maskus 52). Pharmaceutical drugs are an integral component of public health. In the form of vaccines, they can prevent the onset of certain diseases. They can decrease the risks of surgery, offset the effects of chemical imbalances, and speed recovery from injury. Many individuals and nations with the most pressing needs for such drugs find market prices beyond their reach. One effort to resolve inadequate drug accessibility is the use of pharmaceutical compulsory licensing. This work provides an overview of how intellectual property rights, world public health, and pharmaceuticals interact. Additionally, the effectiveness of compulsory licenses and an alternative approach are discussed.

Western Force rugby coach Michael Foley was on form when he said, "Even when you're moving in the right direction, it's rarely in a straight line."
The way the Super 15 is panning out this season, there is no reliable form guide, an exception being the rotten, winless Highlanders who desperately need a mantra that coach Jamie Joseph can't deliver.
The Highlanders' parts were so promising and the evolving sum so appalling that Joseph might have got the boot by now.
At the heart of what is among the most inept run of performances in New Zealand rugby is Andrew Hore, rugby's thug of the year in 2012, whose constant yapping is being spun into folklore by the Sky commentators.
If only Hore would shut up, or at least the commentators would shut the hell up about him, at least until the All Black hooker has something to yap about. During their latest loss to the Crusaders, Hore chipped his opposite Corey Flynn about a poor lineout throw, Flynn's friendly fire having snuffed out an attacking opportunity.
Not to worry - the Crusaders' scrum quickly made amends, with the talkative one and his mates retreating yet again.
At the other end of the table the Brumbies are the nearest thing to form pacesetters. They are hardly a cut above the rest but they do have a good run home travel-wise, with four of their last seven games in Canberra and the South Africa trip done and dusted.
In the early days of Super rugby, much was made of the travel factor, but that couldn't go on forever.
Management found ways to minimise the impact, and there was no point in the teams or media going on and on about the effects. But the exacting march around the Southern Hemisphere must surely remain a strong contributor to the way form ebbs and flows. And deciphering the points table - a fair old exercise in these days of conferences and byes - has limited significance unless the upcoming travel schedules are taken into account.
The Blues look very well placed for now, but they have a lot of suitcase-packing ahead. In one stanza, they travel to Christchurch, return home for a game, head back south to play the Highlanders, and then shift to South Africa. Should they make the playoffs, it could mean a trip back to South Africa after all of that. Whew.
The Crusaders have five of their last eight games at home, one of their away games in nearby Dunedin, and don't play out of Australasia. They would hit the playoffs in much better shape than the Blues.
The form book in the NRL is similarly scatty, although for different reasons, with one remarkable exception. The Melbourne Storm are setting new standards, a dynasty of rugby league performance that marks Craig Bellamy down as maybe the finest club coach ever in Australasian professional sport.
Planting a team in Melbourne could have been a disaster - similar new rugby league frontiers quickly folded in Australia. It has been a triumph, however, mirroring what the Brumbies did in an Australian rugby union outpost.
The shifting sands of player movement under the restrictive salary cap, and even one tidal wave of a salary cap scandal, have failed to swamp Bellamy's castle.
Teams can give it to Melbourne for 60 minutes, only to be met by a wall of resilience that turns into a rapier that picks its spots and finishes off another victim. Bellamy has designed a system that enables a changing of the guard to operate around a core of players who run the game on the field and set the preparation standards off it. They had a rough period last year, but still took the title.
Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater turn 30 this year, and while there aren't all that many 30-plus players in the NRL any more, there are no obvious signs of wear and tear among the Big Three.
The Warriors play in Melbourne on Thursday night and on respective form, one almost daren't watch.

Went out to check the hive this am...last night was not really to cold 40 to 45 degrees.
I saw about 8 to 10 dead bees on the front entry of the hive...and one was a little larger than the other and seemed to be yellow colored.
The abdomin was yellow...no triped like the rest...fatter too.
Later I look and they are flying all over the entry area and up to 30 feet.
I took a pick of the yellow one and a video of the swarming.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8994153...in/photostream
Here is the photo of the yellow one http://www.flickr.com/photos/89941531@N07/ might be both of them here.
I opened the hive last week and looked at Number 8/9/10 frames....number 10 had bees on it just starting to draw comb
Number 8 and 9 had honey capped.
put 10 in 8 place and closed it up as they were getting a little pissed...show ya that one video later.
I put another deep on top as only had that...for them to work on.
Hope someone can help.

Choose a dam or see all dams:
Not long after Northwest pioneers established the first cities in the region, they began to capture the power of falling water to make electricity for their homes and industries.
They were the first to tap the great hydroelectric potential of the Columbia River Basin, a region that includes parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and British Columbia. It is an area considerably larger than the country of France.
Today, the Northwest relies on hydropower for about two-thirds of its electricity, and 40 percent of all U.S. hydropower comes from the Columbia system.
Willamette Falls Power Station, 1889
Oregon Historical Society photograph
(click to enlarge)
The T.W. Sullivan Dam at Willamette Falls in Oregon City was the first hydroelectric dam in the lower Columbia Basin. It was built in 1888, 37 years after the founding of Portland.
Washington Water Power Company built the Monroe Street Dam on the Spokane River in downtown Spokane in 1896, just 15 years after the city of Spokane Falls was platted and seven years after fire destroyed 32 blocks of the downtown business district. In Spokane, as elsewhere in the Northwest, hydroelectric power and progress were linked.
The city of Idaho Falls built the first hydroelectric dam on the Snake River in 1904. The nearby Minidoka Dam, a federal project, followed in 1906. Development of other dams in the Columbia and Snake basins proceeded at a rather slow pace during the early 1900s.
Hydroelectric development in the basin really began in earnest in the 1930s with the damming of the mainstem of the Columbia and Snake rivers. The first, in 1933, was Rock Island Dam near Wenatchee. Bonneville Dam followed in 1938. Construction of dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers continued into the 1970s, with most of the development occurring between 1950 and 1970.
Today there are 56 dams built exclusively for hydropower in the Columbia River Basin, and hydropower now supplies roughly 50 percent of the electricity used in the Northwest. 74 percent of the power generating capacity in the Columbia River basin is hydropower, 38,670 megawatts of the 52,357 megawatts total. The mainstem of the Snake River not only has more dams than any other tributary in the Columbia Basin, it has the largest dams of any tributary in the basin.
In addition to the 56 hydropower dams, there are 77 multiple purpose projects in the basin that include hydropower production. Other benefits provided by many of the dams include navigation for large barges; irrigation to farms in drier areas; launching areas for recreational activities; and flood control.
While the dams brought tremendous advantages, they also posed problems to the region. They are obvious physical barriers to the salmon and steelhead that hatch in the tributaries and migrate through the mainstem Snake and Columbia to the ocean as juveniles, and back home to spawn as adults.
In 1982, at the behest of Congress, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council adopted the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. It is designed to reverse some of the damage to fish and wildlife caused by hydropower and to increase protection in the future.
The Council's program calls for permanent solutions to improve fish survival at dams, such as screens and bypass systems to channel juvenile fish migrating downstream away from the dams' turbines, surface bypass systems, and spill for fish passage.
Fish spill and/or bypass systems are in place at all dams downstream of Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia and Hells Canyon Dam on the Snake. Those two dams do not have fish passage facilities.
The map identifies the United States dams along the mainstem of the Columbia and Snake rivers. In addition to historical information, the map describes the dams and the types of fish protection facilities, including those for downstream and upstream fish passage.

What is good weather to a bee.
Warm-how warm?
Cool nights???
Wind has got to be bad!
What is good weather to a bee.
Warm-how warm?
Cool nights???
Wind has got to be bad!
I would think what is good weather to you is good to a bee. 85-90 degrees, bright sunshine, low humidity, no rain, no wind, warm gentle breezes wafting across fields of clover.
most of your nector is produced by plants when your temp gets to 80 and above. It could be a very calm day in the 70s and your bees will not be doing much.
Are you putting in an order for weather? I'd like several inches of rain followed by some temps in the low 80's.
I think the bees produce a lot when things are blooming and it's really hot. But they also work a lot harder. The nectar evaporates better. But do the bees like it? I don't think they think in those terms. The weather just is. They may think in terms of not liking it when they are cooped up and can't get out. At least it makes them grouchy, but when it's hot they are too busy to get grouchy.
I wish we could send you some of the 10" of rain we have had so far this mo. now if we could have some hot days most of the flow is over but hoping for a good Golden rod for the girls to store for winter.
Thanx for the replies.
I should have said "What kind of weather do they produce honey" rather then "what do they like.
Anyhow that is what I meant.
When the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming, the bees are producing. Doesn't matter much what the temperature is.
