The location at the premierer of the Jewish quarter is very handy, being close to several modes of public transport and convenient access to the Great Market.
The low ceiling in the mezzanine sleeping area is a hazard for a tall person!
The apartment was great! Great location and very nice! Lidia was very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed out time in Budapest! I would definately recommend the apartment!
Great location of the apartment close to public transportation lines and walking distance to the pub areas and restaurants! A little confusion with the picking up of the keys so just verify the apartment number/building number, but nice loft apartment! Plenty of room for the three of us!
One word - Exceptional! We wouldn't dare rate this host anything less than "excellent".
Lidia took care of us from start to end of our trip. Starting with her great flexibility on check-in and check-out; she did not hold any deposits (which to be truthful are inconvenient for travellers); the whole apartment was offered to us with everything in place; close to trams and metros; very close to supermarket. A nice area too.
Bottom line: should we have another trip in Budapest this apartment would be our only place to stay! Thanks a lot Lidia!
I spend a week with two friends in this appartment, and we had a really good time. The appartment is close to the centre of Budapest en also to the railway-station. From here on you can easily visit the hotspots of Budapest by tram or metro, or visit Vienna by train. Lidia is a very helpfull and friendly host!
We stayed there a week and it was a great time. The apartment is beautiful! We had everything we needed and its not only for sleeping but for spending a lot of time talking and cooking with friends for example. We definitely would come back! Lidia is very friendly, she explained us a lot and helped us when we had questions. Thank you for all =)
Nice, clean and cheap apartment with a good location. Lidia is helpful and kind, so it was absolutly fine to stay at the flat.
Stayed here for two nights with the wife and kids as we passed through Budapest. To be honest we picked it because it was quite cheap compared to some of the other apartments and was quite close to the city park where there are loads of family attractions including the Budapest Zoo, Baths and theme park (which we didn't get to on this visit!). I think there's also a circus there or something but don't quote me on that.
The apartment itself was exactly as described and very clean. The children's toys were actually an inspired idea because this kept the kids quiet on arrival and gave the wife and I a chance to adjust after a long journey.
Lidia was excellent and really helpful, she gave us lots of local information and recommended good places to eat, especially on a budget or with children.
This was the first time I've rented an apartment in this way and I did initially have some reservations (no pun intended) but I must say the warm welcome and obliging host certainly made this a more pleasant and less stressful experience than I had imagined.
Ho soggiornato in questo appartamento per 5 notti con delle mie amiche e ci siamo trovate molto bene, perche fornito di ogni confort. A pochi minuti si ragginge la fermata del tram e della metro,e nelle vicinanze e' possibile trovare un grandissimo supermercato e un "corretto"ufficio cambio che Lidia ci ha consigliato.
L'unico inconveniente e' che l'appartamento risulta un po' umido ma grazie ad un deumidificatore l'inconveniete e' stato superato.
Ottimo rapporto qualita'- prezzo per cui lo consiglio vivamente

maybe those people are planning to go into competition shooting. i have my pistol for self defense also, and i practice at 3, 7, 15, and 25 yards. it just keeps me toned up.i can shoot tight groups at 25yrds. w/my sig 239 in 9mm,
i believe any practice is good.
if you shoot someone trying to rob a store and threatening to shoot you, and you were right next to them they might have some loco friend 25 yards away that might start shooting at you.
This probably would not happen and the close range practice is the best,but it never hurts to practice at all the targets.
you never know.
the targets are there you might as well use them.
just being me.

How Can You Help?
Photo by: Isthier Chaudhury
As part of the planning process, we strongly encourage students to meet with authorized faculty in their departments and advisers in the Center for Study Abroad to discuss how study abroad will fit in with their academics, interests, and goals.
Why is advising needed?
Study abroad advisers can approve courses for elective transfer credit, but students must seek approval from authorized faculty if they wish to apply study abroad courses toward a major or minor, and if they wish to obtain credit for an internship, service-learning, or practicum.
What is involved in advising?
Assisting a student in planning overseas studies means finding a program which matches his or her goals and interests, as well as answering questions while they are abroad, or helping them adjust after they return. The additional pages in this section of our website will guide you through the advising process and answer many questions you may have.
Still have questions?
UR There: A Guide to Education Abroad [pdf] is another valuable source of information for both faculty and advisers. Our staff is always available to discuss any portion of the study abroad process. Just give us a call or stop by our office!

IRAQ - a human tragedy
Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Nov 9, 2006
There were approximately 34,000 doctors prior to 2003. According to the global health group, Mednet, 18,000 have fled the country since the commencement of hostilities.
The conservative Brookings Institute reported that a staggering 2,000 doctors have been killed and "approximately 50 percent of Iraqi children suffer from some form of malnourishment easily treatable conditions such as diarrhea and respiratory illness caused 70 percent of all child deaths." To compound the suffering, the US Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction reported, in a recent audit, that only 32 percent of Iraqis have access to fresh water. In Baghdad electricity supplies have dwindled to a mere 2.4 hours per day compared to 16-24 hours prior to the invasion.
The anger accompanying the invasion has unleashed sectarian violence which caused a large exodus of teachers and other intellectuals. The Iraqi university, once the crowning symbol of the Arab world, has been ravaged. 2,000 professors have fled the country in addition to 10,000 who left in the intervening years since Gulf War 1. The Christian Science Monitor echoed a widely accepted theory that academics are being specifically targeted by the U.S. occupation forces and Israeli military advisors to weaken Iraq's intellectual infrastructure. Iraqis report that academics who have been killed are often victims of professional assassinations, not the car bombs or sectarian killings.
British veteran Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk supports this theory and writes, "University staff suspect there is a campaign to strip Iraq of its academics to complete the destruction of Iraq's cultural heritage, which began when America entered Baghdad."
The BRussell's Tribunal in Belgium, the Spanish Campaign against Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq, the International Action Center in the U.S. and many others have combined efforts to expose those guilty of such crimes and have demanded an investigation into the assassinations of Iraqi academics and medical personnel (www.brusselstribunal.org).
These barbaric actions are reminiscent of the infamous Operation Phoenix operated by the CIA in the 1960s which engaged in assassinations and terror against Vietnamese intellectuals. In response to a question regarding the Pentagon's intention of resurrecting the sinister Phoenix program in Iraq and Afghanistan, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Lt. General William Boykin said that America's conventional military forces and its Special Operations teams in Iraq and Afghanistan were 'doing a pretty good job of that right now. ... I think we're doing what the Phoenix program was designed to do, without all of the secrecy."

What is your source? When did this press conference take place? where can we read a full transcript?
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 10, 2006 at 1:16 pm
Apparently, he said that in 2003 at a congressional hearing. Boykin is known for his rather extreme views and statements. I think there's more to explore though - who are they trying to assasinate? People who are killing Iraqi civilians and US troops through suicide bombs and IEDs? Or innocent intellectuals like sweet old college professors in tweed jackets?
Vietnam is over. Iraq is not Vietnam and it never will be. There are a completely different set of objectives at stake for the US, and the insurgency there exists for different reasons. Our presence in Vietnam served our large cold war objectives. I think Iraq is much more important, and the war itself has the potential to be much uglier. I would like to see us out of there as soon as possible.

Renegade Chef: Tryptophan and sofa-turnips
The holiday season arrives early and stays late, like a boorish and inconsiderate uncle who hangs around until the last minute, picking at the scraps of a decimated party buffet.
I should know — I'm that uncle. And since it "'tis the season"—regardless of whether you're yawning or looking down at your watch, I think I'll hang around for awhile and ramble off a few random holiday thoughts—just after I ask: "Is there any more turkey? There's nothing left but bones, here."
--They say turkeys contain a chemical—tryptophan--that makes you sleepy and turns you into a comatose couch-potato. I argue there is only circumstantial evidence to support such a claim. Think about it—turkeys come by the stuff naturally—when was the last time you saw a turkey snoring on the couch? And, if that ever happened, how do you know said turkey didn't pass out from too much pinot, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie?
--Speaking of "couch potato"—I've coined the term "sofa-turnip". Hopefully it can catch on—you know, like Sprite did with 7-Up.
--Do you think cranberries will ever get to the point when they've been forgotten so many times they lose their self-esteem and simply quit showing up?
--Since the NFL seems intent on single-handedly fueling the airline industry by scheduling games in London, I think it would be kind of neat if Dallas and Detroit played each other on Thanksgiving. I can just hear the announcer saying, "That's the end of the first quarter in Dallas. We'll be back with the second quarter in Detroit in about, oh, five hours, depending on traffic and lines at the airport."
--I guess I took the whole "shopping locally" idea a little too far. I didn't want a dry bird, but instead of calling the turkey hotline I called 911. The person on the other end told me I could go to jail for making such a call. And then she said, "Baste, baste, baste."
--Someone told me they were having a tofu "turkey" for their holiday meal—so I called 911 again. This time the dispatcher said she'd send out a squad immediately and that I was doing a great service for America. And then she asked, "How's the basting going?"
--Alas, I do not own a baster. After another call to 911, a SWAT-team arrived with shields raised, battering-ram poised, rifles loaded and a camouflage-colored baster—well—ready to baste. With machine-like efficiency they basted my turkey. And then they took me to jail. Now I am in prison, with no baster, no turkey and an unfinished column in search of a segue. All I can say is, the following recipes require no basting.

Reviews of this property
Position of apartment is really excellent, in the heart of Latin Quarter (a bit of noise in the early morning during my stay, but absolutely tolerable!) and 5 min walk from Notre Dame and metro'! Great :)
Bathroom is very small, whilst bedroom and kitchen are good. Clean and with all you need (tivu', wifi, washing machine, cooking stuff...)
Tony is very kind and gave us all the required info.
Of course I'll consider to stay here if I visit Paris again.
Very central location close to Notre Dame, metro and with as many different restaurants as you can think of just outside the door! A bit nighttime noise from the restaurants, especially Saturday night. Tiny bathroom. Otherwise well equipped, and good wi-fi.
This is a wonderful location for seeing the heart of Paris Latin quarter. My 2 elderly sisters and I were looking for a place to stay together, with a private bath, with a kitchen and washing machine. The place is quite small but very well outfitted, and efficiently laid out. The apartment is only 220 sq ft or so, up a narrow spiral stairway one flight. It was a very old building (centuries!) but had a delightful modern kitchen, a tiny bath with toilet, sink and shower, and a room with a full bed and a fold out twin bed/chair all very comfortable. nice linens. The washing machine was excellent and quiet. There was a rack for drying clothes.
My sisters and and I found the location above a creperie delightful. The location is very close to the metro, down a narrow street filled with quaint restaurants and shops, and near St Severin church. We found the noise was minimal to none with the windows closed, but some street noise until midnight if open. The shop deliveries occur about 7 am also. These didn't bother us, but they had been noted in other reviewers also.
Had a great stay at Antoine's flat right in the heart of St. Michel. Such a great location with lots of restaurants around, shopping and both the metro and the RER to Orly and CDG nearby. The flat was small but totally adequate, clean and comfortable. There was a bit of street noise on Saturday night but the other nights it was very quiet. Antoine was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful when I ran into a problem (unrelated to the apartment). Would highly recommend.
Great apartment in the heart of Paris. Small, but fully equipped and nice furniture.
Antoine was a great host who reacted immediately when we had a question.
Really close to Notre Dame and lot of Restaurants nearby. A little bit noisy in the evening so bring earplugs. But the location is great and we would love to come back.
Excellent location, clean and comfortable experience! I highly recommend!! Maybe 3 is getting a little 'tight but the location makes up for everything ... a stone's throw from Notredame!! Exceptional!
Posizione eccellente, pulito e con ogni comfort! Consiglio vivamente!!!! Forse in 3 si sta un po' stretti ma la posizione ripaga di tutto...a due passi da Notredame!!!! Eccezionale!!!
We are incredibly happy with our stay. Apartment in perfect location in wonderful neighborhood. Nice little apartment where nothing was missing. The only negative was that there was some noise from the street both evening and early morning. Recommend this host hot / Helena
Vi är otroligt nöjda med vår vistelse. Lägenhet med perfekt läge i underbara kvarter. Fin liten lägenhet där inget saknades. Det ända negativa var att det var en del oväsen från gatan både kvällstid och tidig morgon. Rekomenderar denna värd varmt/ Helena

Lightning Strikes with Jeff Williams
Jeff touches on some of the recent San Diego Chargers news bits, including the trade of Charlie Whitehurst to the Seahawks, Jim Steeg moving on from the organization, the release of wide receiver Demetrius Byrd, and "Mount Cody" vising the Bolts on March 31st
Charlie Whitehurst is officially a Seahawk, and it seems that the only person who thinks that was a good trade for Seattle may be Pete Carrol and GM John Schneider. In the deal, the Seahawks received the best 3rd string QB in the NFL (is that like being the best XFL football team?), and swapped 2nd round picks with the Chargers, who moved up 20-spots and also received the 'Hawks 3rd rounder in 2011. Reaction to the trade leaned largely in the Chargers favor, with most NFL analysts wondering why Pete Carroll and company valued Whitehurst so highly. Even AJ Smith acknowledged that the Chargers "just fell into it," making me believe that Seattle made them an offer that was better than was expected.
Chargers executive vice president and COO Jim Steeg resigned after five years with the team. Steeg was well regarded in the NFL for being both professional and personable, and for his dedication to the sport at both the team and league level. Anytime that I've heard Steeg speak he always seemed friendly and truly interested in what the fans had to say. Still, under Steeg ticket prices shot up, the cost for parking shot up, and the price for many concessions increased. It seems that Steeg was good for the team, but how good was he for fans? Never fear, A.G. Spanos, son of Dean, will fill the void left by Steeg. It makes me wonder how long it will be before the next Spanos assumes another big leadership role on the Chargers. Could John Spanos, General Manager, be far behind?
The Chargers released 2009 draft pick Demetrius Byrd. Byrd, who was severely injured in a car accident prior to the draft, was a bit of a reach even in the 7th round, but was well taken care of by the Chargers while on the team. Still, the Chargers don't have the luxury of hanging on to a player who won't play this season and may never play a down in the NFL.
Terrence Cody, the Alabama nose tackle who some project to be picked in the first round, is scheduled to visit the Chargers in San Diego. The one time 400-pound player was a disappointment at the Senior Bowl after weighing in at 370-pounds, and his weight has been closely scrutinized ever since. With the more weight he loses, the better his chances are of sticking in the first round and possibly earning the Chargers' first round draft pick. What is your take? Should the Chargers select a player like Cody in the first round, or will they have better options?

First off, the Whitehurst trade was an all out STEAL. the Chargers likely had a 2nd round switch in mind and Seattle threw in next years 3rd. Who knew he was worth so much? Guess preseason means something after all.
Secondly, I was big on DByrd, and it's sad to see him go. The writing was on the wall though with LT and Jamal being released and he knew it. I really hope he gets his health turned around and can make it with some team.
Lastly, I think NT is our biggest need even though we only have 2 RB's on the team that aren't starters. I really hope we get Dan Williams or Mt. Cody. Cody seems the likely one of the two that is going to be available at No. 28. He also has tried really hard to get his weight under control. It takes hard work like that in the NFL to make it. Dan Williams has ?'s on being a one year wonder and that's why I think Cody would be a better fit for SD. I really hope we don't blow our pick it on Ryan Mathews or Jahvid Best who both have a list of previous injuries. DE is another need but i really hope we address the NT position first and foremost in the draft.
- Jay said... Mar 23, 2010, 7:42:00 AM
browns want to select colt mccoy, possibly even at the end of rd 1. they might package up some picks and trade it for a late 1st round pick. what do you guys think if the chargers were to accept such a trade?
- Jason said... Mar 23, 2010, 2:01:00 PM
Chris, I agree...it was an absolute steal for us, but what does that say about the value of non-elite QBs in the NFL? It seems like everyone without an elite QB is grasping at straws, good for us.
I was hoping Byrd would make it, but it doesn't seem that way.
I'm a BIG Tide fan, but I'm suspicious about Mt. Cody at the NFL level. He has battled weight issues ever since high school, and has been in Saban's doghouse a lot because of this...what's going to control him once he gets a first round deal? I don't see the Chargers taking him because of discipline problems, AJ does not like question marks in the first round.
OTOH, I'd be really excited if they did take him and cross my fingers because he absolutely Dominated SEC OLs. He was an automatic double team and sometimes a triple....I'm torn on this.
- Jason said... Mar 23, 2010, 2:42:00 PM
Jay, if the price is right, AJ will take it, maybe a second rounder this year and a second and third next year? I think it kinda depends on the first round and how it happens.
- Chris said... Mar 23, 2010, 7:41:00 PM
Jason, the thing about Cody though is that he slimmed down 20-30 Lbs. from the Senior Bowl to the Combine. that's not a lot of time and that's a huge commitment, and even though he has battled weight issues since high school, you still have to applaud the hard work there. Cam Thomas is another name to look out for if we go RB in the first round or DE. I have been torn on Cody but at this point he seems like the 2 Gap NT that we really need for Merriman and Phillips to get the sacks they are accustomed to.
As far as trading down goes, I don't see us giving up our 1st rounder for that. Maybe the second round switch we pulled off will allow us to trade THAT down. AJ has been known the past couple of years trading up to that spot (Weddle, and Hester) so maybe its the year where he trades down from that. There has been a mutual love between Dwyer and SD so for a package of picks it would allow us to secure some needs and not one but 2 RB's. Just a thought.
I'm out of my league here I just desire that they pick guys with leadership and character. With Jamal leaving and Merriman still up in the air. Lets go out and get LSU's rb Charles Scott.

Do not take cody with the 28th pick! 370 pounds at the senior bowl tells me, he wanted to see if nfl teams will except him for his weight. WE DON'T PICK GUYS WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO GET BYE!!!!!!!! So he looses the weight just to get a bigger pay-day come draft day. If know one knows yet after Ryan Leaf, bust is some one who has all the great tools need, so you rush to make the pick just to find out there was nothing there. Cody has BUST WRITEN ALL OVER HIM AND WE'RE NOT THE RAIDERS! Take Odrick, if he isn't there take Mathews.
well, if you see how they played without jamal williams (after 4-5 games, late in the season, when this whole rotation thing got into a rhythm), i dont see that big of a need at NT, at least not in the first round.
i would tend to say the same for RB. you can get the absolute prototype for what the chargers are looking for in the 2nd or in the 3rd round (gerhardt, tate, ...). so after all, i am not sure what they will do in the first.
maybe someone to "fix" the right side of the OLINE. could also be a beast of a guard or a good run blocking tackle. maybe just for a rotational role on 1st down or so for this season and get the RT of the future.
but i wouldnt rule out a total surprise with the best player available. they know better what the team looks from inside (injuries, contracts, etc). but after the draft, we should have ready-to-go RG/RT, an addition to the DLINE, a big RB, a backup TE (if kris wilson isnt the answer, not sure), S, LB (merriman may be gone next year, lot of injuries in the whole LB corps) and a return man. keep sproles to block and for the screens.

Playboy.com & DraftKings' Sexy Fantasy Sports Girl: Who's On Top?

Find out who's in the lead to become our Fantasy Sports Girl as the competition heats up on DraftKings.com

We're sure you haven't forgotten, but in case you're in need of a refresher, we're in the midst of a bit of healthy competition here at Playboy.com. We're giving three of our beautiful Cybergirls the opportunity to become the Playboy.com and DraftKings Fantasy Sports Girl.
If you're new to fantasy sports, DraftKings is giving you the chance to cash in with a 100 percent First Time Deposit Bonus—deposit cash, and they'll match it in DraftKings credits up to $600. Don't miss it!
With the help of DraftKings—who, we pointed out, are the current royal family of online Daily Fantasy Sports for Cash—Cybergirls Jade Bryce, Elena Romanova and Kari Nautique have thrown their hats into the fantasy baseball ring. Starting this week, they've tried their hands at drafting their own star lineup in a series of contests over on DraftKings.com. With two contests done, the competition is hitting full swing, and we have some catching up to do.
In broad strokes, there's a clear leader in the pack, with two stragglers who are almost neck-and-neck for total points. But the point spread between girls is less than the difference in return on the leader's first two contests, so the race is still hot. It's anyone's game.
Check back next week, when we announce who takes home the title of Playboy.com and DraftKings Fantasy Sports Girl. See where the girls stand below.
Kari Nautique started off strong in the first round, grabbing the majority of her points from three picks: a pair of strong pitchers (Braves star Mike Minor and Washington National Jordan Zimmermann) and Phillies second baseman Chase Utley. But her game came up short in round two, pulling in the lowest points haul in the competition so far.
Elena Romanova has so far put in the most consistent performance, benefiting greatly from a strong set of picks in the first round (Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster and L.A. Angels first baseman Albert Pujols for a solid 40.25 points) and even, if not meteoric, results in the second round.
Jade Bryce can lay claim to the highest single-day score from round one, where she managed to draft a consistent team with a number of high-performing picks. But round two proved more difficult for the Bellator ring girl, revealing an inconsistency that could allow for a swoop in for the lead from Romanova.

Ugly Dublin BART Parking Garage
Original post made by Tim, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Mar 18, 2008
It would seem impossible to make that garage look anything but ugly.

yup very ugly, dublin is trashy. but hey let's do it to pleasanton too. sounds good to some, not to me!!! agreed Tim it looks ugly.

Ya it does look super ugly but I wish it was open by now. I used Bart the other day to get to SF and wanted to be on the train by 11am. That was a huge mistake!!! I arrived at the station parking lot around 10:25am and couldn't find parking. Driving around for 25 mins I went to the Dublin side to see if there was anything over there- again nothing. It took me over an hour looking for parking, going back and forth a total of 4 times between Pleasanton and Dublin. I finally found a spot at 11:45am. Because of the horrible parking there I was extremley late for my outing in SF.
Maybe the new station isn't needed, as it is all of 45.789 seconds from the other one (not really but I would bet it's less than 2/3 mins) but a parking structure is needed. I wonder if Dublin would have thought it ugly if it was built back when Bart first came here. Maybe they should hire the person who painted the mural under the overpass to paint something about the Tri Valley on the huge cement garage. At least it can be seen as somewhat of a piece of art and not a metal storage center. Either way, I will be happy once it's open for when I need to park at Bart again in the mid morning.

Out of all the things to mad about or unhappy you are about to bitch about a building?!?!?!?! What is wrong with you people in this town? what happen to the good days when people werent so stuck up and stupid life didnt depend on what everone thinks and needing the newest cell phone and crap. Everybody in this town always has something to be upset about. They havent mowed there lawn, their fence is to high and blocking my view of their house or this building is so ugly. Like O MY GOD its the end of the world... AHHHHHHH everybody just live a lil and chill the freak out. Get up go outside take a walk, spend time with your family but stop this bitchin!!!!

Wow - sounds like you are doing a lot more "bitchin" than I did. Looks like you are the one that needs to get control of yourself.
a resident of Walnut Grove Elementary School
on Mar 19, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Not to be rude or anything, but saying that "people bitch to much about a building" or whatever your words were, is just stirring up the pot to get people aruging on this thread. No point in doing so.
But I have heard many people on the Pleasanton side say that it is an eyesore- the parking garage that is. If it is ugly, then we can just use it as a landmark for visiting family and friends; "take the next exit after the large orange and green parking garage."

What surprises me is that Dublin allowed Dublin Honda to build such an ugly dealership at Dougherty and Dublin Blvd. To me that dealership has done more to hurt Dublin than anything else of late.

it is very ugly on both sides. pleasantons side, dublins side. bart is ugly, and not wanted in my book. but is here, and that's america, not always liking what your government does, but respecting it. boo for the 2nd bart station within 1 mile. ugly and not desired by me

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="dezzzR"]Bradshaws only dropped the rock once this year compared to 9 times last year.[/quote]
The REAL impressive thing about that though is that defenders are ALWAYS going for it. I always turtlehead my pants at least twice a game watching him run when somebody spears in to make the hit or comes from behind
yea, the ones from behind the runner are always the ones that make me cringe.
Btw, can someone PLEASE explain to me why that D-Grant forced fumble on Jennings wasn't ruled a fumble?? I couldnt hear the tv, but i havnte seen that kind of clear as day fumble in awhile. what gives??

[/quote]lol even rf made a conspiracy thread. I dont know, but something isnt right. jpp was getting held ALLLLL night. thats why he kept throwing his hands up. there was a blatant holding and then tripping on benard with a ref right front of him. 2 helmet to helmets on eli. some hits i thought were late as well. after the osi helmet to helmet i could feel that big vain in the middle of my forehead throbbing. haha soooo mad.[/quote]
i really try to avoid the conspiracy ****...
but im sorry. Throughout history its happened in baseball and basketball - why not football?
Between the 3 TDs last game with questionable calls in coverage agianst our guys while no flags thrown at them
coupled with that fumble (i will never get over that) and then the Osi late hit, while Eli was getting racked (which i dont mind, just call i even) wtih no flags and no holding nad things of that nature
its just too much coincidence for me
Really Matt???

Do you know how much MORE money the league makes when a New York team advances in the playoffs? Do you know how much more the league makes when the Giants are in the Superbowl? Its friggin huge!!!

Why on earth would they "fix" a game, against their interests?

Lets get real people. Its incompitence, not a conspiracy.


text: Dallas Cowboys Top needs: G/C, CB, OLB, SS, DE, TE Rd 1 (14) S Mark Barron Rd 2 (45) OLB Andre Branch Rd 3 (81) CB Justin Bethel Analysis: The Cowboys need to shore up their coverage and they get a lot of help here, both in the secondary and with an added piece in the pass rush. Barron makes too much sense. He has a good chance to be there at No. 14 and in this simulation he was. He provides an immediate upgrade. Branch is a guy scouts disagree on, but only on whether he's got the talent of a late-first grade. Midway through Round 2, Dallas can't go wrong, and he'll provide depth on the edge. You can't have too many pass-rushers. Bethel could be one of the sleepers of the draft. A star at Presbyterian, he has plenty of physical talent and Dallas isn't out of the woods in the secondary simply with the addition of Brandon Carr. I like Barron pick, not big on the Branch pick but wouldn't hate it. I just do not understand the Justin Bethel pick at 81. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draf...iper-best-possible-picks-nfc-teams-rounds-1-3

It may be time to start looking at replacements for some of our core players.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
So ultimately, having said that, everyone is doing their best to beat the other team. And the real determining factor is the ability of the players to make it happen.
Which gets us to the OP's point that "execution" on the field by both teams, generally determines the outcome. And this game was no different.
They executed a little better than we did.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
It was an absolutely terrible gameplan. by shortening the game and keeping it low scoring it allowed for the skins to operate in their comfort zone on offense. quick scores would have forced the skins to be one dimensional. except the one dimension i am now talkin about isnt the strength of their team. our team is built to score big on offense and cause turnover at key moments on defense. They need to recognize their identity and play to their strengths in every game

Brushy Mountain Bee Farm sells a double screen board. Has anyone had any experience with this board?
Brushy Mountain Bee Farm sells a double screen board. Has anyone had any experience with this board?
I have several of thiers (Brushy Mt.). Betterbee also makes one. They are a handy piece of equipment to have around. They can even work for a screened bottom board in a pinch, but are especially nice for introducing a nuc to a new hive or keeping a nuc warm in the early spring. Of course they are designed to be a "Snelgrove" board to use his (L.E. Snelgrove's) rather unique method of swarm control. However, I have not attempted to do that with them.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I don't have one, but have had plans for years to make some. Seems when I have the time, I don't have the care to. when I have the care to, I'm against the wall and don't have the time.
Waya, are you going to make one from the plans on this site? http://beesource.com/plans/scrnbrd.pdf
I think I will make one tomorrow, if anybody has any hints or advice let me know. THe jig worked so slick I am in the building mood. (plus its so d##n cold out there and so nice and sunny in the shop...)
Ok, what is a double screen board used for? I have never seen one.
According to the Betterbee catalogue:
Double Screen, also called Snellgrove board, allows you to run a 2 queen hive. the double scren keeps the bees above from communicating with those below, while still permiiting the heat to circulate in the hive.
THere are multiple entrances to permit you to add or subtract bees. from either the top or the bottom.
"We only recommend the use of a Double Screen to the professional hobbyist who has both te time and inclination to manipulate a hive for maximum population and production."
Now that is a good one: "profesional hobbyist"!
My definition: One who spends excessive time and money in pursuit of intangible and indefinable goals, under the guise of the profit motive.
It's useful for many things. The double screen keeps the bees from each side from harming each other but lets the smells and heat through. So they can adapt to each other and a nuc on top can get some heat. I don't recommend it in a Northern climate when the weather is cold enough to make a lot of condensation. Snelgrove's method is a bit complicated to explain, but not really that complicated. Try a search online and you might find a good illustration of it.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
another use I've heard of is to put it on top of the hive, then put a box with several frames of fresh eggs.
the upper box get's the benefit of climate control from the hive below but since they can't pass QMP thru the double screen they think they're queenless. once the get some queen cells going you can split them up into mating nucs
I'm planning to try this to get a few queens this spring
comments on how to make this sucessfull appreciated
bill ruble ask:
Ok, what is a double screen board used for?
tecumseh chimes in:
I use them for queen rearing purposes. they are handy for setting up queen right cell finishers.
Yes, I was going to use the plans on this site which are very easy to follow.
Made up 3 on Sunday, no problem with the plans.
I made one yesterday, adapted the plans a bit to accomodate using 3/8" plywood instead of 1/4" so it's 1 3/8" tall instead of 1 1/4" and my lumber 7/8" but otherwise the same. Almost. Actually I cut the entrances at 45º so they're a tad bit narrower but I made them 1/4" longer. Came out well, all in all.
So, why all the entrances? I mean it looks cool, but realistically, what do you need 8 possible entrances? It seems you could get by with 2 entrances, one on either end on opposite sides and call it good?
I'm planning on building another one of these days after pondering some design changes.

It's a Snelgrove board. It's actual purpose was to run a two queen hive with one above the screen and one below to eliminate swarming while boosting the hive population. Basically you keep rotating which entrance actully goes where to keep fooling the bees into returning to the bottom box instead of the top one. Do a search on "Snelgrove" on the internet and maybe you can find a description of the full method. For the Snelgrove method you DO need all those entrances.

Well I've actually found very little on the web about the Snelgrove method of swarm control. I found various attempts to explain it in simplified terms. Here's the best one:
I can only gather that it ain't the most popular swarm control method these days [img]smile.gif[/img]
I didn't initially build my double screen board as a swarm control tool. I've run across a number of different manipulations which called for one, everything from queen rearing applications to introducing nucs to making splits. So I thought I'd build one. Now I'm wondering more about it's original use.
I suppose I should look for a copy of Snelgrove's book. Has anyone here ever used a snelgrove board for swarm control utilizing snelgrove's method? Barring that, does anyone have any good links to the snelgrove method?

Here is some misc info, if any of its helpful, you owe me [img]smile.gif[/img]
DOUBLE-SCREEN (Snelgrove board, Division Screen or Board, Screen Board)
A rimmed, inner cover-size board containing two layers of screen (8x8 mesh) at least 1/2 apart so individual bees cannot pass Âqueen substance from one side to bees on other side of screen [Ref 15,p89 and BC 5/04, p51]. Used to make an increase, split colony, or to start a 2-queen colony [Ref 15,p89].
Should have a 3/8" to 1/2" rim on top w/ a 1-1/2" opening in one end to provide an entrance for upper colony [ABJ, 3/06, p226].
Method #3 (Creates a 2-queen colony) - Frames of emerging brood and bees are placed over double-screen or adapted inner cover (allows heat from unit below to support development of colony above) and given a very small opening located at the back of parent colony (180o different). (Place double screen on new body w/ entrance to rear and place excluder on top of double screen for Âinsurance [Ref 7, p27].) Upper colony is given a queen cell, a virgin queen, or a mated queen (depending on time of year). Such colonies are made up in late April to early May in northern states, and allowed to grow rapidly. When clover bloom is about to begin (or primary flow) double-screen is removed and colonies are combined via a sheet of newspaper. A single queen (usually the new one) is allowed to live while other (old) queen is removed. The combined population of 2 brood nests is now collecting one very large honey crop. This method works well when beekeeper has plenty of equipment, a relatively sure honey crop, and able to stack equipment quite high on hive stand. Unfortunately, in a summer dearth, this huge population is a lot of bees to feed [BC, 3/05, p45].
Well Dave, I already owe you [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'll assimilate your information after dinner, I can't think right now what with my stomach growling at me.
For what it's worth, I just found Snelgrove's book available from the Maine State Beekeeper's Association Lending Library. I guess that means I'll need to renew my dues........

I will probably NOT bother with getting Snelgrove's book, perhaps next winter I will when I'm bored. I did find sufficient information about Snelgrove's swarm management method over on BEE-L so I could decide it's not something I'm going to be trying anytime soon. It apparently is successful at keeping hives from swarming, but it's not without drawbacks, many of which are similar to those you'll have with any two queen hive. This isn't really the proper forum for an indepth discussion of Snelgrove's swarm managment method but we're discussing the hardware involved, might as well tack on some information about the method itself.
Here's another that discusses some of the downsides:Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 13:57:22 EDT

This question is too timely for me to be a coincidence. I just finished reading last night, _Swarming:_It's_Control_and_Prevention_ by L.E.
Snelgrove. Written in the 1930s (1934?) the book speculates on the causes of swarming (the intro of the 1995 reprint points the reader to more current work by Winston) and discusses methodologies of the day to deal with swarming.
Snelgrove designed a piece of equipment called a Snelgrove Board (the coincidences never cease!). A Snelgrove Board (SgB) is a piece of equipment very much like an inner cover with a few "extras". Rather than a hole in the center of an inner cover, the SgB has a much larger opening that is double screened, hence a SgB is sometimes referred to as a double screen board. Additionally, a SgB has entrances on three sides of the board on both top and bottom (six in total). The side with no entrances is the front of the board. For later discussion imaging that the top entrances are numbered 1, 3 and 5 for the right, back and left entrances and the bottom entrances are numbered 2, 4 and 6 for the right, back and left respectively. Towards the beginning of swarming season a SgB is used in combination with a queen excluder and hive
manipulations on a double brood chamber colony to simulate a swarm while keeping both the parent population and swarming population combined at the same location!
How is this possible?
The hive manipulations consist of segregating the brood frames so those with eggs, larvae and brood are moved to the top hive body and empty frames are segregated to the lower body. This is another technique that hinges on finding the queen. When she is found she is moved to the lower brood chamber on a frame of eggs, larvae and unsealed brood. This should be the only frame in the lower brood chamber with any stages of brood - all other frames in the lower brood chamber should be empty or contain only stores (pollen, nectar and honey). Above the bottom brood chamber go a queen excluder, super(s), and the top brood chamber containing occupied brood frames. Three days later the super(s)will be occupied and the nurse bees will have passed through the queen excluder to the brood frames in the top chamber. At this point in time the SgB is inserted with entrance 1 open - all other entrances on the SgB are closed. For the next few days, field bees from the top brood chamber will exit through entrance 1 and join the population below the SgB by using the original front entrance. One week after the initial manipulation the beekeeper closes entrance 1 and opens entrances 2 and 5. Thus, the bees from the top brood chamber that "graduated" to field bees return to and reinforce the lower population by using entrance 2.
During the next week the top brood chamber bees that become field bees will get accustomed to using entrance 5. While the bees in the lower chamber use either the original front entrance or entrance 2. At the end of the second week the beekeeper closes entrances 2 and 5 and opens entrances 3 and 6. Again the top brood chamber field bees reinforce the lower population by returning to the left hand lower entrance (entrance 6) and the top back entrance (entrance3) becomes the top brood chamber's main entrance. By using the entrances in the SgB in a round-robin fashion, the top brood chamber becomes a "bee generator" for the lower colony. The top brood chamber, being queenless and initially containing all the eggs, larvae and brood will immediately commence to raise a new queen. However, the top brood chamber will not swarm because the population never reaches sufficient numbers to cast a swarm. The bottom chamber never swarms because the brood rearing cycle was interrupted by the initial manipulations.
This method artificially casts a swarm from a colony, keeps both populations in a single unit, effectively sets up a two queen colony, and leaves a requeened colony at the end of the season when the upper and lower chambers are reunited. I can't wait 'till next year to give it a try. I already have the SgB, which I have always used as double screened boards to make splits, but I have never used them as intended. Live and learn. I'm sorry if the technique looses in the translation, but it is not my intent to rewrite Snelgrove's book. For full details and clarification, read the book. I found it fascinating in spite of its years!

From: Aaron Morris
Subject: Snelgrove for swarm control, an update
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
I received in private E-Mail a query regarding my results employing Snelgrove's technique for swarm control. Having never posted my results to BEE-L, I offer the following tidbits as my Yuletide Offering to all my friends and beekeeping chums along with my sincere wishes for a joyous Christmas and Happiest of New Years!
For those who missed the initial description of Snelgrove's techniques, send a single line of mail to:
that reads:
"Yes, I tested quite heavily Snelgrove's methods this season. I've made no attempts to summarize my results and I don't have my notes with me at the moment, so what I'm writing is off the top of my head.
Overall I would say I had great results, which is to say I was able to control swarming in all hives on which I used Snelgrove's methodology. I experimented with at least 40 colonies none of which cast swarms.
However, this success in swarm control has to be weighed against the burden of implementing the control. Initially setting up the arrangement (moving/segregating frames of sealed brood into the box below, open brood and eggs above) was new and exciting and I enjoyed the whole process. Queen excluder above the bottom brood chamber, honey supers, Snelgrove Board (SgB) and top brood chamber created quite a tall hive! This is where the methodology became tedious. You can imagine the task required to examine the bottom brood chamber or even just evaluating the honey supers. Any time you want to look into the colony below you must first remove the top colony. Further exacerbating this task is the fact that the SgB is not attached to the top colony, so it became problematic with bees on both top and bottom of the SgB when I removed it working my way down the hive. Attaching the SgB to the top colony would ease this problem.
Now, Snelgrove's method effectively sets up a two queen colony and you have all the management headaches associated with them - populous hives requiring MANY honey supers and lots of over the head lifting. Some hives required ladders to work and schlepping bees while precariously perched atop a 6 foot step ladder is flirting with disaster. Fortunately none struck.
Those problems aside, I ran into other snags that weren't anticipated or elucidated in Snelgrove's writings. Initially things went quite well, all of the top hives which were queenless (the original queen goes to the colony below) started raising new queens or accepted queens procured from breeders. Most colonies readily accepted introduced queens, which is what you'd expect. The top colony ends up with mostly young bees and nurse bees, as the field bees return to the original hive entrance. However, there were a few of the top colonies that simply refused to accept introduced queens. Some of these I tried two or three new queen introductions, which amounted to a lot of wasted money and work on my part and stress on that colony. After prolonged queenlessness I had to recombined the top colony with the original colony. I quickly learned that if the top colony did not accept the introduced queen that rather than cutting out established queen cells and trying another introduction the colony should be left alone to raise its own queen. In retrospect that should have been obvious since by the time I determined an introduced queen was rejected there is no chance of that colony raising a new queen because the eggs have all hatched and the larvae are too old. The lesson here is bees know more about bees than do beekeepers.
Next snag: Not all the top colonies left alone to raise their own queen ended up with a successfully mated new queen. This was minimal, two or three, but again the net result was recombining the top with the bottom, lots of wasted energy on my part and stress on those bees. I would not chalk this up to a problem with Snelgrove's methods per se, it's more of
a general problem facing queen breeders. Not all mating nucs are successful, plain and simple, it comes with the territory.
Another problem I ran into but did not expect from Snelgrove's writings came when I started employing the many entrances/exits in the SgB used to transfer bees from the top colony to the bottom. Snelgrove claimed that the bees will readily transfer between the colonies because they are familiar with each other's smells due to the double screen separating the two colonies. As Porgy sang, "It's ain't necessarily so!". Some bees transferred readily between colonies, some did not (or at least this is how I interpreted some of my results). Some of my bottom colonies ended up queenless soon after I opened/closed the different doors combining the top colony field force with the bottom colony. I cannot say with assuredness but I suspect that sometimes the bottom colony's queen was assassinated by the foreign bees. This may not be the case, the bottom queen could have met a different demise. But I had enough of the bottom queens disappear that I suspect the bees may not mix as freely and amicably as Snelgrove led one to believe.
The final problem I ran into which Snelgrove surely noticed but did not include in his writings was with pollen in my honey supers. When I switched the doors to move field bees from the top colony to the bottom I witnessed more than many top field bees bringing their pollen loads back into the bottom honey supers. Bees tend to store pollen near brood, and the top colony field bees stored pollen near their former brood chamber. This was not a big deal for my extracting supers although I now have a lot of pollen plugs in what had been heretofore strictly honey combs. However, Snelgrove claimed that his methods can be ideal for comb honey production and in fact recommends it! I had to cull nearly half of my comb honey harvest due to the pollen storage problem. I have literally hundreds of Ross Rounds that are not fit for market because the top colony field bees stored pollen in the comb honey supers. To me this is a significant problem.
So, did Snelgrove's methods control swarming? Yes, without a doubt. However I wonder if this might be accomplished in other ways. Snelgrove's methods actually allow a hive to swarm while keeping the entire population intact, a unique management technique. When it goes right, the resulting colonies are gangbuster hives which can out produce other hives two and even threefold! However I am not convinced that the energy expended to successfully employ his technique is proportional to the increased yield. If colonies are few and time and energy are bountiful, I recommend Snelgrove's technique. On the other hand, a beekeeper can realize like harvests expending less energy with a few more hives having lower average yields. Swarming can be controlled by making splits - populations are not kept intact, split hives will produce less, but in the long run return on your investment (time and energy) is greater.
I think in the future I will use my Snelgrove Boards to make my splits atop established hives to control swarming, but I will move the splits off the established hive to stand alone rather than utilizing the split to enhance the original hive. I can then use these splits as needs dictate during the season without enduring the unforeseen problems I encountered following Snelgrove's writings. As they saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true then perhaps it is.
Thanks for asking for an update, it's nice to see folks perusing and using the BEE-L archives!"

This is a great thread to learn from even though the last entry was in 2006. I have now decided to use a Snelgrove board mainly to make splits. Thank you.
p.s. If anyone has more info to add, please do so. It really helps newbies like me.

Yeah, I don't get the upside down either.
Is it a given that blowing the bees out ticks them off or are some people having better success because of their technique? If it is technique then lets discuss the differences in technique.

you could use a beebrush if you want to prevent bees from flying spry them with 1:1 and shake them of, but most importantly just figure it out, you wont ever know until you try. At some point you are gunna have to just do things yourself. stop being afraid of making a mistake
I have never ever been afraid of making a mistake but I find it beneficial to field all my crazy thought patterns to find out how crazy they are before I take the plunge.
It is now 51 degrees outside and I was thinking of pulling frames tomorrow, maybe extracting. The weather is expected to be the same. If you spray them when it is 51 degrees are they going to like it? Will it harm them?
Currently I only keep about 40 hives here. I have not found the need yet to use any sort of bee blower. I have never had any problems manually brushing off the bees from capped frames of honey. First a firm shake, then a gentle brush. It can be done in a somewhat gentle manner. I have harvested 10-12 medium shallows in a day this way, (by myself) without even taking a sting. No I don't wear gloves or a suit to do this. Its in the truck if I ever need it. I almost always wear a veil. I am a former commerical beekeeper and yes we blew bees in our yards. Actually we had a man that helped us and that was his job. He never minded the noise or the piles of piles of bees at his feet. It is not very gentle on the bees but we had so many hives it was the best approach. I have never used chemicals to remove them and probably never will.
if its that cool , dont spray them just use a bee brush it. when you brush off one frame set it in a box and cover it with a cloth right away so no bees get back in it. it will take a little bit of time but you only have a few hives right. that seems the best way to me.
Has anybody tried short blasts of air to strip bees out of a super instead of a continous blast? I don't know if there would be any advantage except you might not stir up the bees as much.
These guys like Roland and Odfrank really do know what they are talking about (how can anyone argue with an entomological engineer ?). But seriously for a hive or two just get yourself a bee brush a smoker and temps warm enough for the bees to break cluster (very important). Gently brush or shake the bees in the entrance and they will all crawl back inside within the hour, the chances of killing the queen are pretty minimal. Sort back any frames of brood and put them back on to be taken off later. It really shouldn't take more than a minute or so per box. Come on Ace You can do it.
But know that some of us DO want to hear what you have to say, and use your advice. Keep the knowledgeable responses coming.

JAKARTA: Indonesia will consider banning all alcohol and putting drinkers in jail for up to two years.
The ban, which would decimate the night life in tourist haven Bali, has been proposed and listed on Indonesia's national parliamentary legislative agenda for next year.
But the chairman of Bali's Tourism Board, Ngurah Wijaya, said he would ''flatly reject'' any attempt to ban alcohol or jail drinkers. Drinking is ''part of the international world and we are here to attract tourists'', he said.
The Bill for a Ban on Alcoholic Drinks was drafted by the predominantly Islamic United Development Party, a member of the President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's, governing coalition.
The strict ban should be ''applied nationwide within the territory of the unitary state of the republic of Indonesia'', the bill says.
Those who produce alcoholic drinks would be subject to penalties of up to 10 years in prison and Rupiah10 billion ($1 million) in fines; there would be $520,000 in fines and five years in prison for those who distribute them, and two years' imprisonment and a $20,800 fine for those who consume alcohol.
Indonesia is a Muslim majority country and people refrain from drinking. But alcohol is available in nightclubs, bars and some cafes.
The ban is part of a heavy 2013 legislative agenda in a notoriously gridlocked and slow-moving parliament. It may never even be debated, let alone passed.
In 2008, an attempt by Islamic politicians to ban the bikini under the country's pornography laws was overruled after protests from the tourist industry.
The anti-alcohol law's proponent, the United Development Party MP Ahmad Kurdi Moekri, said the proposal was ''to safeguard the nation's morals''.
''It is the mandate of our constitution; it's about character building,'' he said.
Mr Ahmad, a member of the national parliament's Commission III overseeing legal affairs, said alcoholic drinks ''have a greater negative impact on the nation than positive, and anything negative to the nation is the nation's enemy''.
But he warned outsiders not to interpret the legislation as an act of religious radicalism.
''We should not take the stance … that, since the bill was proposed by a party of certain religious background, that it might lead to turning the country into a religious-based state,'' he said. ''It's such a small-minded approach.''
The United Development Party has 39 representatives, which is 7 per cent of the seats, in the 560-seat parliament.
The Indonesian brewer Bintang, maker of the favourite beer among Australians travelling in Bali, declined to comment, other than to say it was a ''very sensitive subject''.

Truckee man gets 28 years to life for 2012 Safeway stabbing
January 17, 2014
TRUCKEE, Calif. — A local man was sentenced Friday to 28 years to life in state prison for his role in a near-fatal stabbing incident at a local grocery store 18 months ago.
Jayson Allen Maglaya of Truckee was convicted last month on one count of attempted murder and one count of assault with a deadly weapon in what the Nevada County District Attorney's office called a "brutal attack" on July 15, 2012, at the Safeway store on Donner Pass Road in Truckee.
Maglaya, 35, reportedly snuck up behind a 33-year-old man and stabbed him twice with a sharp object near the grocery store's deli counter after the two got into a physical altercation.
Maglaya fled the scene prior to police arrival, but was eventually arrested without incident in the Glenshire subdivision of Truckee, near his residence.
According to a Friday statement from the DA's office, most of the attack was captured on the store's security video. The victim suffered injuries to his chest, neck and face.
The conviction counted for Maglaya's third strike, according to the California three strikes law.
According to previous reports, the second strike came in early 2003, when Maglaya was sentenced to seven years in prison for attempted first-degree burglary for trying to enter an occupied home in Glenshire in 2002.
He also was convicted in May 2001 of possession of stolen property and in March 1997 of first-degree burglary.
