Anyone have any luck with this type of Queen rearing system? I would really like to know your experience, and results with it, both good, and bad.
Anyone have any luck with this type of Queen rearing system? I would really like to know your experience, and results with it, both good, and bad.
When i first got mine a few years back Got 11 out of 16 first try beautifully built
And i learned some things that worked better for me
The second batch was about late Aug put the queen in the grid got about 20 larva they built about 80% then about 3/4 the way after they were sealed the cell builder tore 1/2 of the 80% down out of the remaining 7 or 8 sealed cells went to get them to put in the nuc's they had tore most all down
The third try the queen had laid about 70 Cups i thought wow this will work great I set up another cell starter finisher in a 5 frame nuc put in about 30 cell cups with very tiny larva 12 hr or under. The next day 24 hrs later NOTHING Zipo not even 1. So I rechecked cell builder for an queen no queen so redid it.
The 4th Try Queen had laid in several cups 40-50 went to collect the cups with tiny larva I had done ck earlier and found plenty of eggs but on the day of transferring the cups nothing, seen some shriveled up eggs and a few freshly laid eggs.
Next Spring started trying it again Some of the thing that happen last late summer. They would start 80-90% then half way they would tare about 1/2 down. It was 2-3 days from hatch I rechecked the they had tore down a few more so I took one off the bar and broke it open to my surprise the larva was a huge big fat larvae it fill the cell fuller than any other queen cell i Had ever seen it Was a Drone Larva.
One day I was setting holding and studying the Nicot grid box trying to figure out some way to get it to work. Then i thought cell size the cell looked close to a worker cell but it is a a bit bigger than worker and smaller than a drone as i was trying to figure it out had a coke i was drink through a straw i had a thought the straw fit down into the cells on the grid perfect.
So I cut me some Sleeves to fit into the cells most were just below the rime of the hole in the cell grid. That ended the problem of the queen laying drone eggs in the cells.
When I first started using the grid in the late summer the queen had started laying Drone brood in the frames for the fall.and when i used it the early spring was the same the queen was geared up laying drone eggs in the comb sense the cells were a little bigger than worker cell this is what she laid was drone eggs it will not happen every time if you were to use again without putting in the straw sleeve but for me i wanted it to work every time without worrying was i going to have GOOD queens in the cells
Also got where I just left the breeder in the grid it was kind hard on her catching her by the wings every time i placed her in the grid she got where she would really cling to the comb as i was catching her i was afraid i was going to hurt her.
I would collect cups with barely see able larva. then would work the eggs to the outer edges and place the empty new cups in the center would get from 15- 30 some times 50 larva. I might transfer 1day skip a day or two would collect from the outer cups. if larva got big beyond the proper age for good grafts i would remove these cups and put in new ones. Doing it this way you will have to keep closer check on the cell cups for tiny grafing age UNDER 24 Hours larva. 12 Hr or just hatch would be the best
the nicot system works. i used it for my first batch of queens. getting ready to make a second. i will be using the nicot and grafting.
the only problem i see with the nicot is the beginning steps, poishing cells, finding queen, caging queen, checking for eggs, removing queen,moving cups.
it seems it would be easier to me, and i may be wrong being my first graft didn't take, to find a frame of eggs and brood from donor hive, graft,put in cell builder. grafting seems the easier most efficient way, once you learn to graft. maybe some more experience can chime in, i've just started to learn a queen rearing system this year. good luck
I've used the Nicot system several times with good success. If not in a good flow, then feeder needs be used on the queen mother hive, otherwise they will abandon eggs and larva, or eat them, in the cell cage. The cell starter hive must be strong and fed and desperately hopeless, just like in any queen rearing system.
I've found this system to be easy and successful the few times I've used it, after I figured out how to make up a strong cell starter, and when I do it during a flow, it works well. If not in a flow, syrup and pollen must be fed to stimulate them into raising cells, which is a good idea to do even when in a good flow.
I didn't let them polish the cells just blow them out (mouth or Air hose)and keep the top rolled down on your bag of cups so dust will not get in them
If you leave your breeder Queen in the nicot once they get going there usually some larva is in some of the cups ( before eggs will hatch the nurse bees have to place some royal jelly down around the egg just before they are to hatch the queen is also fed royal jelly this keeps her ovaries producing eggs) this will keep nurse bees there, also place a frame of eggs and young larva from a Donner facing the nicot on the excluder side.
If you are only going us it 1 or 2 times with in 4 or 5 days when finished let queen out

I am having a issue with my new Nicot. I got my new Nicot mounted on a Medium Frame and stuck it into my bottom brood chamber of the breeder hive for 24hrs to be cleaned. I then return to the breeder hive to cage the queen, and leave her in there for another 24hrs to lay. The next day i take a look and she has laid all the cell cups and i then release her. I come back 3 days to find that the eggs have not been feed and not at the larva state.?? " this would be the 4'th day"
Should i leave my Queen caged longer to attract the nursers to start feeding the eggs? I have a small flow kicking not really understanding what is going on. I have seen the Nicot System fail where the workers will clean them out. But not leave them and not feed them. Do i just wait it out?? When do I say ok time to try again and reload cell cups to be prep for another go at it.
If anyone would have any advice i would appreciate it!
figuring out when to pull the plugs(# of hours) is interesting the first few times, depends on when the queen started laying, if you came back the next day, i'm sure they eggs would have hatched.

Nicot works well. I did have an issue the other day where it looked like the nursers weren't going to feed the eggs. But i re-entered and all was well. Got about 80 that were feed well. Seems that once the Nicot is broke in "smell of the hive" it'll crank them out
We did our first round with the Nicot system and got nothing. We left her in 2 days and we found 15 or so cups with eggs. We found 5 in one cup so I moved 4 of them to other cups and moved them to individual. We checked to day and they had emptied out the cups and they were all clean. not a cell built out of 20 we had in the frame. Not sure if we are going to try again this year. Dont know what happened.
Did you load all the cell cups? If not that is why.
I have no experience with the Nicot system, but I have Dadant's kit. I have a friend that is in Germany with Carl Jenter right now, this friend swears by the Jenter kit, any others have any luck with it?
It wont work with eggs on your cell bar you have to let them hatch in the nicot that is why i leave the queen in the nicot box it will keep some nurse bees there to attend to the queen and then some of the nurse bees will tend to the eggs so they wont dry our. Also i cut a sleeve from a straw to make the cell a little bit smaller id you were to check the cell in the nicot are bigger than the average worker cell and smaller than a drone cell
The cell cups need to be left in the Nicot if eggs are present to be feed to hatch into larva "3days". If you take the cell cups which are just eggs NOT feed with jelly, and a fix them to your cell bar and in a cell builder they will be rejected. The eggs have to be feed and hatched. 48/66 Hrs. this process can take for a hatched egg.
There is no point transferring eggs. They will just remove them. It takes four days from when the queen is confined to when you have larvae. This is what you want to transfer. that's four elapsed days. In other words, the day you confine the queen is 0 elapsed days. The next day when you release her is 1 elapsed day. Three days after that is 4 elapsed days. To put it another way, if you confine the queen on Sunday, you will have larvae on Thursday.

OH Ok. I guess I did not follow the instructions enough. Might be too late to try again this year. I think the jener and nicot systems are basically the same. Mine was the Mannlake kit.
Does one really need to fill in all of the cups into the cage? Seems an awful waste to place 100 cups only to use 10. Looking for any information about minimum number of cups, placement pattern and any other hints. I considered taping shut unused holes with clear tape and only leaving a central square, maybe 5 by 4 for a total of 20 cells for queen to target. Is that workable or is she likely to lay multiple eggs in each cell.
Maybe I can allow the queen to lay in all of the cells, but then clean the extra ones before hatching with water so that they can be used again?
You want the queen to get her butt taped to the bottom of the cell? If you leave them out and don't plug them they will crawl into the box behind the plugs where they don't belong. Also, if you had less for her to lay in she will lay more doubles and those are more problematic. You can reuse the plugs. Just leave it out of the hive for a couple of days and then put it back and they will clean out the eggs for you.

An Open Letter In Support Of the Tar Sands Blockade
Posted by Carleen Pickard in End Dirty Energy, Featured, World News & Events on 5th October, 2012 | No Comments
As we write, our friends with the Tar Sands Blockade are blocking construction of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline in the woods of Texas. For the past six months they have built a movement of climate activists, rural landowners, Texans, Oklahomans and people from all over the country to fiercely resist it … Let us be clear: there is not an inch of daylight in between us and those blocking construction of the Keystone XL pipeline in Texas. We stand with them as we've stood with those fighting mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia, those defending old growth forests in Cascadia and those challenging nuclear power across this country.

We had a great time in this beautiful villa and its external flowery. The room is the classic kind with practical storage and a quiet but effective air conditioning. The availability of the kitchen and all its accessories is also very significant. We especially appreciated the warm welcome, helpfulness and flexibility of Ella and her husband. A place we can recommend without reservation.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette belle villa et ses extérieurs fleuris. La chambre est du genre classique avec des rangements pratiques et une climatisation silencieuse mais efficace. La mise à disposition de la cuisine et de tous ses accessoires est également très appréciable. Nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié l'accueil chaleureux, la serviabilité et la flexibilité d'Ella et de son mari. Une adresse que nous pouvons recommander sans réserves.
Estuve en casa de Ella del 15 al 20 de Junio. Nunca había estado anteriormente alojada en una casa compartida. Todo genial. Ella y su familia son encantadores y son la discreción personificada. Muchas gracias.
La casa muy bien y un porche y una piscina maravillosa.
Sin duda VOLVERÉ.
Es war wirklich toll bei Ella. Alles sehr sauber und gastlich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
La estancia en la casa de Ella ha sido muy agradable y tranquila.
La situación en la que se encuentra es inmejorable, cerca del aeropuerto, la ciudad de Ibiza, las playas, la zona de fiesta de playa D'en Bossa, etc
Ella y su familia han sido muy cordiales y atentos con nosotros.
La casa es bonita, grande y la zona de la terraza con su piscina y porche para comer es fabulosa.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We've had an amazing time in Ibiza! The house is amazing! The pool is very clean and also the kitchen, bathroom and the rest of the house! Ella and her family are very nice, friendly and helpful people! We will definitely come back!
Ella is very welcoming and friendly. She is always happy to help you and she gives you good advice about the best places to visit. The room was clean, there are a lot of closets. In addition the swimming pool is very cool, The house is big. Just keep in mind that you'd better rent a car if you want to visit the Island (a plus: proximity of Ushuaia night club and playa d'en bossa, max. 5min by car, perfect for the clubbers).
I highly recommand, this was a very good experience!
Ella and her family are really hospital people. The house is in a quiet village though only 5 minutes by car from the big clubs as Space / Ushaia and the beach (taxi costs about 10 euro's to get there). The house is exactly as shown in the pictures; very clean, tidy and yes there is an amazing pool with sun beds. I can only recommend this place! We will be definitely be back!
Last week we were at Ibiza. Our stay by Ella was very great! We had a wonderfull time with Ella and her husband! Ella is a great women who will help you with anything you'll need. She did everything To make us feel home. The house is clean, beautyfull and has anything you need. The garden is beatyfull with fruittree's and flowers everywere. Thanks for the great time!

OVAE Awards Six State Grants to Promote Rigorous Career and Technical Education Programs of Study
Last week OVAE awarded six four-year grants under the Promoting Rigorous Career and Technical Education Programs of Study (POS) Program. The grants made approximately $1,500,000 available for the first year of funding. Funding for years 2 through 4 is subject to the availability of funds and to each grantee meeting the requirements of its grant award. States receiving awards were: Arizona (education); Kansas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – STEM); Maryland (automotive technology); Montana (construction); Utah (health science); and Wisconsin (manufacturing).
The purpose of the program is to promote and improve state and local development and implementation of rigorous programs of study. The program also will assess the impact of student participation in career and technical education programs of study that: link secondary and postsecondary education; combine academic and career and technical education in a structured sequence of courses; offer students opportunities to earn postsecondary credits for courses taken in high school; and lead to a postsecondary credential, certificate, or degree as outlined in the OVAE Programs of Study Design Framework. More information on programs of study may be found on the Perkins Collaborative Resource Network (PCRN) site at http://cte.ed.gov.

Latino Radio Helps Advance Health Literacy
Latino Public Radio (WELH 88.1FM) and Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island unveiled on Oct. 1 the results of their recently completed study on improving health and science literacy in the Latino community. Assistant Secretary Brenda Dann-Messier keynoted the summit in Providence, R.I., at which the results were announced. The study was funded by a two-year $138,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a 10-week radio curriculum and measure its effectiveness in increasing the health and science literacy of listeners. Non-English speaking communities are vulnerable to low rates of science and health literacy, and programs addressing science literacy issues may not be tailored to Spanish-speaking audiences. Frequently translation of materials into Spanish does not fully address the cultural needs of the Latino community. Community forums were held to discuss this initiative and further develop the program topics. Surveys after each radio program provided information about how many shows participants actually listened to and gave feedback on the quality of shows, relevance of topics, and success of guest appearances. Results are encouraging and include national implications for enhancing adult education's relationship with health issues.
ECS Offers Free Civics Resources
The Education Commission of the States (ECS) released a September report that can help states develop policies and curriculum for English literacy/civics education (EL/C). The report, Civics or Citizenship Education Standards and Curriculum Frameworks, highlights selected state standards and curriculum frameworks with links to K—12 civics or citizenship education. ECS also offers a data base of resources to assess civics competencies in civic knowledge, civic thinking, and civic participation at various grade levels.

Can You Tell this First Nations Act From The '60s Version?

Recently, the government has proposed the First Nations Property Ownership Act (FNPOA). I think that people need to take another look at the 1969 White Paper and ask themselves if anything really has changed. In fact, the introduction is the same in both papers (save for some PC language changes). So pardon me if I'm skeptical in the extreme of a plan that was virulently opposed by First Nations when it was first proposed in 1969, and let's call it what it really is: White Paper Lite.

Music Review: Here by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros release yet another dreamy album just in time for summer.
Just in time for those lazy and hazy summer days, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have released another album, Here, full of songs to sing around a fire with eight to eleven of your closest friends.
It may seem like there's something cult-like about their whole shtick, and you'd be right. After breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, former Ima Robot front man Alex Ebert began writing a book about a messiah named Edward Sharpe during his time at a 12-step program for addiction. "(Sharpe) was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind…but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love." And that's exactly what Ebert did. Not long after he started writing about Sharpe, he met singer Jade Castrinos and immediately fell in love with her.
After their hit album Up from Below dropped, the song "Home" began making its way to commercials and television shows, and the constantly rotating minstrels began touring and have yet to stop.
Don't expect the same upbeat bubbly tracks like "Janglin" or "40 Day Dream" on this album; their sophomore release is more hauntingly beautiful than catchy. Starting with the somber song "Man on Fire," Ebert croons "I want the whole damn world to come dance with me." It sends shivers down your spine once the old-timey foot-tapping jingle "I Don't Wanna Pray" starts. It's absolutely incredible how you can get wrapped up in the thought that these people are actually some sort of Manson-esque cult family.
It's always nerve-wracking reviewing an album for a band that you really connected with on their first album. Since I was young I've always enjoyed Ebert's musical work, so I'm happy to see that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros were able to elaborate and build on the happy-go-lucky fantasy they've crafted for us with their second album.

Reviews of this property
Nice location (beautiful Jimbaran beach, close to places of interest in the South of the island and not too far from Kuta and Seminyak). Better to have a scooter.
Alex pays close attention to his guests. Very convenient.
Casual breakfast. Clean room. Wifi ok.
Thanks Bali.
Assistance with Putu (Rudy said) really flawless with good tips, a nice little bungalow with air conditioning and hot water (the value for money is indisputable) in a garden in the heart of a Balinese family ... all the ingredients for Start your discovery of this island. It should also prefer this slightly remote place from the bustle of Legian or Kuta. Small restaurant 150 m left at Andy recommended for its simplicity, its prices and its welcome. I will end by congratulating Esther is in its discretion efficiency, although cats have been right in my little lunch leave on the kitchen table;)
Une assistance avec Putu (dit Rudy) vraiment sans faille avec les bons tuyaux, un joli petit bungalow avec clim et eau chaude (le rapport qualité prix est incontestable) dans un jardin au coeur d'une famille Balinaise...tous les ingrédients pour bien démarrer la découverte de cette île. Il faut d'ailleurs préférer cet endroit un peu reculé de la cohue de Legian ou Kuta. Petit restau à gauche à 150 m chez Andy à recommander pour sa simplicité, ses prix et son accueil. Je terminerai par féliciter Esther qui est dans sa grande discrétion l'efficacité, même si les chats auront eu raison de mes petits déjeuner laisser sur la table de la cuisine ;)
Extrem laut, Straßenlärm, ab morgens ca. 5:00 Uhr bis spätabends. Außerdem tagsüber ständig laute Musik vom Supermarkt gegenüber und teilweise vom Verkaufsstand vor der Türe. Zusätzlich nachts häufig und wiederholt längeres Hundegebell.
Strand wunderschön, allerdings auch Gestank durch Verbrennen von Müll, einschließlich Plastik und von den zahlreichen Grillständen.
Plan was om langer te blijven. Voor 1 nacht is het oké om te verblijven maar langer niet. We hebben slecht geslapen door wel 20 blaffende honden van de buren. De kamer was redelijk maar de directe omgeving vies door vuilnis. Het strand is dichtbij en 's avonds gezellig met een paar restaurantjes. Maar er zijn veel mooiere plekken op Bali.

The Vacation at Balangan Beach was very nice, we had a nice bungalow with pool and breakfast include. The Beach is very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Health risks of the nuclear industry go very much under the radar of governments, policy-makers, and the public. Each stage of nuclear power generation, from uranium mining, refining and day-to-day activity of nuclear reactors, releases small amounts of radioactivity into the environment on an ongoing basis. As physicians, we see nuclear power as a serious threat to public health.

A sophisticated look in golden bronze and warm amber scavo glass, this chandelier features nine lights.More Details >
Decorate an entry area or dining room with this elegant chandelier. The design features a scroll-arm frame. At the end of each scroll is an uplight with beautiful amber scavo glass. The frame and ceiling canopy are in a golden bronze finish.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This chandelier looks beautiful in the two-story entry of our home.
This chandelier plus it's twin and Larger brother have brought style and a classical feel to our new home.
We hung this lamp in a room with high ceilings, over a pano. The illumination is great and we are apply with the overall look.
Very nice chandelier, well constructed and the installation was very easy.
We finally found a chandelier that is nice looking while it is large enough to fill our foyer with high ceilings. We looked long and hard to find just the right piece that had a matching fixture for over our dining table. They both look beautiful and are very functional.
The photo shows a dark, almost black appearance on the finish. Opened the box and it was heavy-handed on the gold in the finish. Back it went. If you're looking for something black or oil-rubbed bronze, keep looking. This is golden/brown in color. It is beautifully designed.
Looks more expensive
Great light
Made a huge difference in the look of our entryway. Only con was that we should've purchased this chandelier a lot earlier!
Looks lovely in the entry way. Had a handyman install it and it was quite easy despite the two story height. It was very light and easy to handle.
We had an electrician install for us. Too big for my "senior" husband to hang![...] we were happy with the overall effect.I would reccomend this product.
I ordered 2 each of this product, one for the foyer and one for over the dining table. What I really like is that they are absolutely beautiful at a fabulous price.

I just wanted to know.
I only check college games every now and then. I do know the buckeyes went undefeated last season, but they were sanctioned last year from being seeded for bowl games. They probably could have beaten the weakly ranked No. 1 undefeated mostly against crappy collegiate teams Notre Dame last season for the national title.
I think they should have the playoff elimination format in college football for the national title for the top 12 seeded teams. That would be more competitive, answers the weakness of seeding college teams based heavily on record only, and the top teams get to play each other more instead of ripping 60+ point blowouts on some non-ranked no-name collegiate football team.

Kevin Nugent has a unique viewpoint as a restaurant owner - that of the customer. Nugent was a 30-year patron and enthusiast of what used to be known as Coerper's Five O'Clock Club. When that restaurant changed ownership, he was approached by some of the staff, including Chef Rich Alverado, to consider opening a steakhouse. Nugent consulted his business partner, Brian Young, and they opened Milwaukee Steakhouse at 6024 W. Bluemound Road.
The Milwaukee Steakhouse building used to house the restaurant Double Happiness. Nugent considered buying it several years ago, but the price wasn't right. Finally, in July 2010, he and Young completely renovated the building and opened their restaurant. They originally named it Brewski's Steakhouse but it became confusing because of their other business, Brewski's Sports Club, at 76th Street and Bluemound Road, so they changed the name to Milwaukee Steakhouse. Despite the name confusion, it was immediately apparent it was a hit and they applied for a building permit for an expansion.
Although the address (and the name) is Milwaukee, the business literally borders the edge of Wauwatosa. The newly finished expansion allows for more comfort for diners and also more room in the bar area.
"This is a traditional steakhouse," Nugent explained. "Nothing is a la carte - everything is included with your dinner: salad, bread, potato, relish tray. We offer fine dining in a comfortable atmosphere. The service is attentive without being intimidating."
The name of the game at Milwaukee Steakhouse is meat, and lots of it. Steaks are "wet-aged" - meaning vacuum-sealed as they age to retain moisture - and fresh, as is all produce and other ingredients. There also is a fish entrée every night.
Some of the signature items include filets (8 ounces for $29 or 16 ounces for $39), a 21-ounce bone-in ribeye ($38) and a 28-ounce porterhouse ($39). Prime Rib is offered on Saturdays only; the king cut costs $35 and the queen cut costs $28.
But if steak isn't your thing, there are plenty of other choices, including lamb chops ($32), pork chops ($26), ribs ($26) and shrimp and lobster (market price). Needless to say, you will not walk away hungry.
For the warmer weather ahead, Milwaukee Steakhouse will open its 750-square-foot covered patio, giving customers the option to dine al fresco once the Wisconsin winter finally ends. No doubt Milwaukee Steakhouse will become a dining consideration before and after Brewers games.
"I'd love to tell you that I serve the best steaks in the country," Nugent said "because that's what I believe. The people who work here love what they do, and we want people to have an enjoyable experience and to come back again."

Wow -- congrats to the team! As someone who was on a state championship HS track team long ago and far away, I can say that the sense of pride in the sustained effort and teamwork that culminated in this accomplishment will last these young women far into their futures.
One question: If we must be gender-specific, "She-Wolves" sounds much fiercer than Lady Wolves. Can't we at least call 'em She-Wolves? Sounds like they've earned it!

Vacations should clear the mind, heal the soul
As I drove a van filled with church retreat fellows, a conversation was happening in my right ear that I knew would change my life. Carol and I were using our vacation time to attend a conference on centering prayer at Ghost Ranch, a retreat center in the breathtakingly beautiful high desert above Santa Fe. It was a golden day in October and we were traveling to explore the Christ in the Desert Monastery near Abiquiu, New Mexico.
Carol told our retreat leader Sister Bernadette about the call to ministry that she had felt present in her life for many years, and I heard Bernadette say, "Carol, I believe it is time for you to go to seminary."
A time I knew was nearing was now real. Our spiritual-pilgrimage-vacation had become an encounter with the Holy. In less than three months, Carol was a full-time seminarian – a call that would eventually bring us to the mountains of Western North Carolina. A vacation brought us to a turning point in life and it was good.
Sydney Harris, a poetic newspaper columnist of a generation ago, wrote an insightful piece about time off I have always remembered. He said that if you desperately need a vacation as an escape from your life and work back home, you may return unhappier than you were before leaving. You will spend much of your time counting the days and dreading the return. One wag said that a vacation is what you take when you can't take what you've been taking any longer.
Harris, however, suggested that if you have these feelings, it's time to either change the "back home" or discover vacations that bring healing.
Vacation as pilgrimage is a treasured time. We have taken three-day trips to Mepkin Abbey on the Cooper River near Charleston. At 3 a.m., you awaken with the Trappist monks for the vigils that begin a day filled with the gentle rhythms of worship, work, silence, and long walks among the live oaks covered with Spanish moss. Walking under the starlit sky at three in the morning is an experience of spiritual wonder in itself.
We've journeyed to the small Island of Iona off the western coast of Scotland to spend a week in an ancient abbey at a conference with people from seven nations of the world — an encounter with life at one of its most joyful moments. We shared our stories, helped with meals and housekeeping chores, and hiked the island feeling God's presence each step of the way. Iona is frequently called a "thin place" where heaven is near to earth.
Not able to go to sleep one evening at home, I picked up a book in one of our bookcases, "The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seekers Guide to Making Travel Sacred," and read for an hour.
Author Phil Cousineau says, "In each of us dwells a pilgrim. It is the part of us that longs to have direct contact with the Sacred. We will travel halfway around the world and endure great sacrifice and pain to enter the Sanctuary, whether it is a church, shrine, cemetery, or library."
I stopped reading Cousineau's book when I came upon a quote from one of his fellow pilgrims, "I sincerely hope that all does not go as planned. Unless you leave room for serendipity, how can the Divine enter in? The beginning of the adventure is to lose the way! How else will God find me?"
In Europe, people do not use the term vacation. Instead, they talk about going on holiday — a word derived from "holy day."
Four summers ago, I wanted to take a study tour of the important places in the life of Methodism's founder, John Wesley, when I stumbled instead upon a journey that was even more inviting — to be one of a small group living for a week at C.S. Lewis' home, The Kilns, a few miles west of Oxford, England. The American-based C.S. Lewis Foundation purchased the home twenty years ago and after extensive reconstruction, filled it with furniture of the 1940s and 50s and now invites individuals to come and learn more about this fascinating author and teacher. We heard fascinating talks on the writings of Lewis and then traveled to Oxford and Cambridge where he taught. After enjoying lunch at the Eagle and Child Pub where the Inklings gathered and raised the level of conversation to the heavens, we drove by the home of J.R.R. Tolkien where the tales of Middle Earth were created and visited the grave site of Tolkien and his wife.
A young seminarian and I shared what was once the study of Lewis' brother Warnie during the week at the Kilns. Memorable? Yes, forever.
These trips may be too pricey for many, so we can also enjoy exploring the bountiful opportunities to take mini vacations right here at home. My favorite paper, The Mountaineer, is filled with announcements of craft shows and classes, music groups to join and concerts to enjoy, dances, live theater, book and bridge clubs, Vacation Bible Schools, tailgate markets and yard sales, nature studies and hikes.
Within minutes is a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway mentioned often in national publications as one of America's most scenic drives. You don't have to go far to get away from the television and noise of daily living to find more peace for your soul.
Tomorrow will come and go. With a bit of planning, it can be a day when the mind is cleared of worry and the soul is renewed.

Neighbors, Bend arborist react to pine tree mystery
Tree was cut down hours after city council vote
BEND, Ore. - The mystery behind who cut down a nearly 100-year-old Ponderosa pine tree near Bend's roundabout at NE Eighth Street and Franklin Avenue continued Friday.
The Bend City Council voted 5-1 late Wednesday night to cut down the tree. Within 7 1/2 hours, someone had cut it down.
"We were sitting going they didn't take any time," Jamie Dias, who lives across the street from the tree, said Friday. "They made a decision at 11 p.m., and there they are, first thing in the morning."
At first she thought the tree was cut down by the city to avoid the morning traffic and people walking on the nearby trail.
"It's very surprising," Dias said. "Makes me wonder who wanted it down so quickly."
A city staff arborist said the tree posed a safety hazard and needed to be removed from a garden project site
Another arborist, former city council candidate Wade Fagen, had objected to the tree's removal, saying it was not failing or a hazard.
Fagen also recently appealed to the city to try to save a juniper tree at a road project on the south end of town, saying the road could have been shifted a bit to save it and that junipers are native High Desert plants.
"You can tell right here -- beautiful, very stable wood, it's not even brittle," Fagen said Friday. "It's sickening. Take a good shot at these stumps. None of these trees were a hazard."
As the mystery continues on who cut down the Ponderosa, the city will now move forward with plans for the garden. Organizers say they tree could be cut up as soon as this weekend, with the wood donated to needy families for the winter.
"The idea of planting hopefully a lot more trees to come and filling in the space, that's moving forward," Dias said.

Google-internet glasses prototype released
9:23 AM Thursday Jun 28, 2012
Google is making prototypes of its futuristic, internet-connected glasses available for people to test out. The company is selling the device, known as Project Glass, for $US1,500 to people attending its annual conference in San Francisco for computer programmers. With the glasses, directions to your destination can appear literally before your eyes. You can talk to friends over video chat, take a photo or even buy a few things online as you walk around.


text: Here is another possibility to kick around, Law enforcement agencies do stings all the time for various crimes, they pay criminals for goods that they have stolen and arrest the perpitrators later same with drug deals. could it be possible that the Goverment wants to see who is who and what they are capeable of ? what type of weapons they have etc. anyone can put up a web page and make it look legit. While its true that alot of militia groups go public, which if this is its doomed before it starts, Uncle Sam Dosnt like competition. there ad although covered by the First Amendment which I might Add I am fully in support of !. I think they may have placed themselfs on several watch lists, by displaying that web page. As we all agree the goverment dont like compitition. Just a couple of months ago there were various petitions from states that wanted to succeed from the union. We havnt heard anything further on this. I mean seriously how would it llok to all the other nations of the world that states no longer want to be part of the United States and they have thier reasons. The US Goverment cant have that going on espically when they are trying to influience the rest of the world to do things are wayand when I stated our way I ment the US Goverment. But I still say something is really wrong with that ad, and as I was always told if something sonds to good to be true it usally is and there is one hefty price tag to go with it...Doc

I took my feeder off today and put the inner cover on my 2nd brood chamber. I then put the telescoping cover on and realized that the notch in the inner cover is covered up by the telescoping cover!
There is a small gap there - probably enough for a bee to sneak in or out if they want. Is this what I'm after?
I don't see that it offers much ventilation this way. ::: shrug ::: Maybe - I dunno!
This beekeeping thing makes me feel so stupid at times!

The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

Venue: Anthony Cools Showroom
3655 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: Ongoing
Show Times: 9pm
Age Restriction: 18
Show Length: 90 minutes
Starting at $55.35
Cools leads the show, but it's really the people who volunteer to be hypnotized that are the stars. They provide the entertainment, with Cools as the ringmaster. Before the show starts, Natalie, the hostess and DJ for the night, appears to go over some ground rules. This show is "loud, raw, uncensored and extremely adult in nature," explains Natalie, before the lights dim, the music gets louder and Cools appears on stage.
"Where the party people sitting?" exclaims Cools. His explosive energy and uninhibited personality let everyone know they're in for a crazy evening of fun. Cools conducts a "test of susceptibility," which involves some playful interaction with the crowd, but the test is actually done for people in the audience to determine if they're a good candidate for hypnotism. In addition, Cools explains three other restrictions for good candidates. You can't be really drunk, high or in opposition to wanting to be hypnotized.
"Raise your glasses and get ready to party!" shouts Cools. Then he invites guests who want to get hypnotized to come up on stage. During this time everyone has an opportunity to volunteer by walking up to one of the empty chairs on stage. Once all of the seats are taken, the real show begins.
He assures everyone that although they will be in a state of hypnosis, they will still be aware of everything that is going on around them.
After the volunteers have all been briefed, Cools initiates an "induction" period where he asks everyone in the theater to remain 100 percent silent in order for his volunteers to reach a complete state of hypnosis. During this time he does several different relaxation techniques until all of his volunteers are sitting with their heads slumped over as if they are sleeping. Cool gently taps those who do not appear to be in a hypnotic state and has them to return to their seats in the audience.
When he is satisfied that all the remaining volunteers are in a complete state of hypnosis he asks his volunteers to awake and play instruments as though they were performing in a huge orchestra. In seconds everyone is on stage awake and vivaciously playing non-existing instruments to a familiar classical symphony playing over the loud speaker. Just imagine a really exaggerated version of air guitar but with an entire orchestra of instruments.
Laughter erupts from the audience as one female volunteer appears to be almost out of breath from her passionate performance on a cello. The volunteers sitting next to her give equally amusing performances as they "play" a violin and piano.
"From this point on the more noise you make the dirtier I get," says Cools to the audience, and everyone eagerly cheers for more.
Then he walks up to individuals on stage and asks them to perform certain commands in accordance with a song that might play or a word he might say.
It is hilarious to see the people on stage act out these absurd scenarios with complete conviction as if everything happening were real. Along with the song and word commands, Cools also hypnotizes the people to think they are in ridiculous situations.
One of the most outrageous of these scenes is when he asks everyone to again fall into a deep sleep, and then tells them that when they awake they are going to be naked and at an audition for a role that they really want in a pornographic film. He sets a chair in the middle of the stage and explains that it is going to be their partner for them to demonstrate their most "creative love making techniques."
Words cannot begin to describe the ludicrous and lude acts that occur on stage, while uproarious laughter spills over from everyone in the audience.
Regardless of whether or not you chose to be a spectator or experience everything first hand on stage, this show is one mesmerizing night of hypnotic comedy that you won't want to miss.

So Im wondering if there's any professional mock drafts that you guys are sold on. I mean, its obvious the two first rounders are going to said teams. But are their any rumors as to what position we might even be looking at? I have a feel that it'll be defensive, no doubt.

Re: [Article]-Review: eLearnSecurity's Penetration Testing Pro (PTP)
Having taken the OSCP and GPEN, it's a strain to convince the powers that be to let me on another similar pentest course, but they seems happy to let me take a run at targeted training.
Don't believe we are similar to OSCP, honestly. Not saying we are better or worse. It's just another (completely) different way of teaching things.
Do you have any time lines on the Web Application Security stand alone course being made available?
At now I'm not able to give you time lines. The Beginner version of our PTP course will be a never seen course and it is taking its time.
However I believe the web app testing part of our current PTP course is quite a good amount of information!
Check our demo to see your self, it is on Web app testing

FDA Approves First Adjuvanted Vaccine for Bird Flu »

The active component of RELENZA is zanamivir. The chemical name of zanamivir is 5- (acetylamino)-4-[(aminoiminomethyl)-amino]-2,6-anhydro-3,4,5-trideoxy-D-glycero-D-galactonon- 2-enonic acid. It has a molecular formula of C12H20N4O7 and a molecular weight of 332.3. It has the following structural formula:
Zanamivir is a white to off-white powder for oral inhalation with a solubility of approximately 18 mg/mL in water at 20°C.
RELENZA is for administration to the respiratory tract by oral inhalation only. Each RELENZA ROTADISK contains 4 regularly spaced double-foil blisters with each blister containing a powder mixture of 5 mg of zanamivir and 20 mg of lactose (which contains milk proteins). The contents of each blister are inhaled using a specially designed breath-activated plastic device for inhaling powder called the DISKHALER. After a RELENZA ROTADISK is loaded into the DISKHALER, a blister that contains medication is pierced and the zanamivir is dispersed into the air stream created when the patient inhales through the mouthpiece. The amount of drug delivered to the respiratory tract will depend on patient factors such as inspiratory flow. Under standardized in vitro testing, RELENZA ROTADISK delivers 4 mg of zanamivir from the DISKHALER device when tested at a pressure drop of 3 kPa (corresponding to a flow rate of about 62 to 65 L/min) for 3 seconds.
What are the possible side effects of zanamivir (Relenza)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Some people using zanamivir have had rare side effects of confusion, delirium and self-injury. These symptoms have occurred most often in children. It is not known whether zanamivir was the exact cause of these symptoms. However, anyone using zanamivir should be watched closely for signs of confusion or unusual behavior. Call a doctor at once if you or the child using zanamivir has any of these symptoms.

Are you going through a roller coaster of emotions because things don't go the way you want them to, or sometimes without any reason? Are acne, obesity, hypertension, facial hair, irregular periods, sluggishness, and hair loss giving you the jitters? Has your craving for sweets increased lately?
It is true that PCOS puts you through a lot more than you can handle. But worry will not take you anywhere. Try a few natural means for PCOS treatment and find yourself in the right spirit to take on your life with a smile.
Some of us might mistake the symptoms of PCOS with PCOS itself. You might want to consult an Ayurvedic doctor, who'll diagnose if you have PCOS or not.
9 Ways for natural PCOS treatment
#1 Choose A Healthy Lifestyle to get rid of PCOS
Did you know that fine-tuning your lifestyle to suit your health can totally reverse the effects of PCOS? For instance, you can adjust your work timings in such a way that you get a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of sleep. If you are having difficulty in sleeping, a tablet of Narayan Kalpa after dinner and before bedtime might help. It is an Ayurvedic medicine that helps de-stress both mind and body and induces sleep. Moreover, it has no side-effects. But we advise that you consult one of our Ayurvedic doctors before taking this medicine. Once you've consulted the doctor, you can buy it online here or from an Art of Living Divine Shop close to your residence.
Does your work give you stress? You can beat stress at the workplace by following a few simple tips. As far as possible, complete your work at office and avoid carrying it home.
The lesser you are stressed, the faster you'll recover!
#2 Bust Some Stress!
Problems always come knocking at your door unwelcomed. And along with it comes stress in all its various forms – anxiety, impatience, irritability, restlessness, hypertension, and even mood swings!
There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. The only true path to freedom is meditation. An immediate sign of being overpowered by stress is low prana. Do you know what prana is? It is similar to what you feel when you rise and fall on a see-saw. When you rise, you feel a gush of wind that elates you. That is what it feels like to have a high prana level. When you land with a thud, possibly even hurting yourself a little, that feeling is quite similar to what you might feel when your prana or energy level is low. When our prana level is high, we are naturally happy and relaxed, and that's how meditation helps. It boosts our energy levels phenomenally and we find ourselves free of negative emotions.
Hari Om meditation, in particular, is effective PCOS treatment. It is a meditation where our attention is guided to energy centers in the body, releasing stress and unblocking our energy channels. It helps in the proper flow of energy. Dr Shiksha Thakur, an Ayurveda expert, confirms that most of her patients who tried this meditation on a regular basis have given positive feedback.
#3 Burn The Excess Fat!
PCOS is a condition where cysts develop around your ovaries. These cysts are fat and your body cannot metabolize them. However, there is nothing to worry about because you can burn it through exercise. "If you are obese, you need to get rid of the extra fat, especially that which has deposited around your abdomen", adds Dr Thakur.
Yoga Asanas that are beneficial include Naukasana, Gomukhasana, and Veerabhadrasana.
It's also advisable to do Surya Namaskar, which is a series of 12 Asanas. It is an excellent way to loose fat and look fab! It exercises all parts of your body and is the equivalent of a rejuvenating full body massage.
#4 Listen To Your Body
If you have been skipping breakfast or have been having it too late, you might want to relook your morning routine. An empty stomach might give you a headache. The digestive fire is at its peak in the morning and slows down towards the end of the day. If this fire is not fed with food, it burns our head instead and causes migraines.
It is advisable to have breakfast within 2 hours of waking up. If you find it hard to eat on time, eat an apple or some fruit at the least. This will regulate your sweet intake because your blood sugar level might shoot rapidly at times, encouraging excessive insulin production, which puts you at a higher risk of diabetes.
What Type Of Food Should I Eat?
1 - Avoid fried food or junk for breakfast as they can make you feel sick.
2 - Try fruits, milk, nuts, oats, and so on as they are wholesome and nutritious
3 - Add fibre to your diet as it balances sugar levels and helps in the removal of excessive oestrogen.
4 - Street food, junk, sour and spicy food, and pickles need to be avoided.
5 - Avoid sweet foodstuff, as those with PCOS are at a higher risk of diabetes.
6 - Avoid coffee; it stimulates insulin production and often has an adverse effect on them (not making sense). Avoid other caffeine products too.
7 - Learn the Ayurvedic style of cooking, which includes shallow frying, steaming, and baking vegetables.
8 - Consume coconut water to cool your system.

The $662 billion military spending bill expected to go before both houses of Congress later this week includes controversial provisions allowing the US military to arrest and indefinitely detain, without trial, anyone suspected of terrorism-related crimes, including American citizens.
A conference committee comprised of members of the House and Senate (including Maine representative Chellie Pingree) agreed Monday night on language confirming that stance — a change from current policy that has civil-rights advocates deeply worried. Lawmakers did "compromise" by clarifying that US citizens are exempt from the requirement that any suspected member of al Qaeda be taken into military custody (as opposed to that of civilian law authorities), that the FBI's authority to question and detain suspects remains unchanged, and that the president can waive the military-custody provision.
While these provisions received limited attention from the mainstream media, they were cause for concern for everyone from the American Civil Liberties Union to FBI and Defense Department officials. The Obama administration, claiming that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compromises its executive power with regard to terrorist threats, was considering vetoing the entire bill. When it comes to terrorism, the White House wants more authority and flexibility in deciding whom to prosecute — and how. It has yet to weigh in on the conferenced bill.
Both of Maine's Republican senators, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, voted for the Senate version of the NDAA, and against an amendment (offered by Democratic senator Mark Udall, of Colorado) that would have stripped that bill of three contentious detainee-related sections.
Through spokesman Kevin Kelley, Collins said the Udall amendment was "too sweeping and would eliminate important detainee provisions that undoubtedly make our country safer." (Snowe did not respond to a request for comment.)
However, Collins did vote in favor of two amendments offered by Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein, of California, including one that makes the distinction between the arrest of a suspected foreign terrorist and an American citizen.
"Senator Collins believes that it is imperative that American citizens detained on US soil be entitled to the protections guaranteed by the Constitution," Kelley said. "If a foreign terrorist is caught overseas, or on American soil, then that suspected terrorist usually should be treated as an enemy combatant and, as a general rule, handled through the military tribunal system. But if an American is suspected of a terrorist act and is caught on American soil, then that person should go through the American criminal justice system."
Pingree, a Democrat, who was part of House-Senate negotiations early this week, pushed to preserve American citizens' basic rights. (Maine representative Mike Michaud also expressed concerns about the NDAA's impact on civil rights.)
"I am actively opposing the parts of this legislation that allow the military to hold terrorism suspects indefinitely and prohibits the government from trying them in civilian court," Pingree told the Phoenix before conference discussions began. "It's an offense against the due process our justice system is based on and opens the door to eroding our Constitutional rights. Moreover, we don't need it. Our court system has safely and effectively prosecuted hundreds of terrorists. These provisions grant powers the executive branch neither needs or wants."
Her concerns kept her from signing the final compromise bill (she was one of two members who didn't sign). According to a spokesman, she plans to vote against the bill when it returns to the House.
