Reviews of this property
Great location. We were close to all attractions, public transportation, and shopping. The apartment was exactly as descibed. The key exchange was easy and our host was waiting for us at the vaporetto stop. It was a very good experience and we would go back in a heartbeat.
We had a great stay in this charming apartment in Venice. A very spacious kitchen, living space and bedroom were wonderful with lots of storage space. The apartment is in a great residential neighborhood but not far from San Marco.
Great Thanks to Tiziana and Malika for helping us to be transferred to Venice magic fairy tale!
Тhe apartment is not so big,but equipped very cleverly. It`s very comfortable. It was so romantically to wake up because of water splash of running boats just under a window.
We would love to come there again in some time!!!
This apartment was exactly as described , very clean and spacious. The bathroom is small but perfectly adequate and the kitchen was spacious and well equipped. Location was great and it is a stunning 15 minute walk to St Mark's Square. Also very close to two Vaporetto stops. Very good value.
The flat has a great location, 15 min walk from the famous San Marco square, but still in a much quieter area away from the masses of tourists. If you are visiting the Venice Biennalle, it's only 5 min to the Giardini and Arsenale .
Tiziana is a nice landlady, very friendly and helpful.
The flat is great for a couple or a family of 3, looking for a quiet place to stay and enjoy what Venice has to offer.
LIKE NEW HOUSING 10 minutes walk PLACE ST MARC FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD ARSENAL AND LIVING
Accommodation according to the description, spacious kitchen, bedroom double bed in the bedroom and comfortable living. Only downside the bathroom too small. The apartment is in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. We are pleased with our location! The person who received us was very nice!
Logement conforme au descriptif, cuisine spacieuse, grand lit dans la chambre à coucher et salon confortable. Seul petit bémol la salle de bain un peu trop petite.
L'appartement est dans un quartier calme et silencieux. Nous sommes satisfaits de notre location! La personne qui nous a reçu a été très gentille!!
The apartment was exactly as described: very clean, well equipped, everything worked, it was quiet and very conveniently located for us. Tiziane was friendly and picked us up at the Vaporetto. Only the tiny Duschklo with low water pressure was a bit strange.
Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben: sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet, alles funktionierte, es war ruhig und für uns sehr günstig gelegen. Tiziane war freundlich und hat uns am Vaporetto abgeholt.
Einzig das winzige Duschklo mit geringem Wasserdruck war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt zu Zweit in der freundlich gestalteten, sauberen Garconniere sehr genossen. Abholung hat reibungslos geklappt, Küche und Bad neu, Betten okay, 15 min. entfernt vom Marcusplatz, aber schon etwas abseits des Touristenstroms in einer netten Gegend mit Coop 3 min. entfernt! Fön mitnehmen! Handtücher, Seife, Duschgel., Bettwäsche alles vorhanden!
Bonnes informations avant le départ. Accueil agréable à la descente du vaporetto à Arsenal. Appartement très propre et pratique, nouvelle salle de bain et nouvelle cuisine, bonne literie, bien situé dans un quartier calme, ou il y a toutes sortes de commerces, a deux pas d'une vue magnifique sur le feu d'artifice du nouvel an.

Great little bowtie. I don't generally/ever wear bowties, but after receiving this in my birchbox I now find it a staple in my wardrobe, for casual and fancy affairs. Love the asymmetry and the medium to small size of the bow. The flannel material lets it be dressed down, but the monotone gray can be worn with a tux! Really glad to have it.5

I've been talking to Curtis about having some modified and full chokes made. Since they are US made they would also count as a compliance part. It would help with those using their saigas for upland hunting and competition.
They would be external chokes and use the existing threads on the barrel.
Also thought about ported ones. Please chime in with your thoughts.

Jeff Lemire Wins Shuster Award!
On Saturday in Toronto, Jeff Lemire (Trillium, Green Arrow, Animal Man, "Trinity War") was honored as the winner of the Joe Shuster Award for Best Cartoonist/Auteur for his work on Sweet Tooth #29-40 (DC Comics) and The Underwater Welder (Top Shelf).
Established in 2004, The Joe Shuster Awards are Canada's first national and bilingual award recognizing outstanding achievement in the creation of comic books, graphic novels and webcomics.

Or course he's interested in returning because nobody else is going to show any desire to sign him. I have no interest in bringing him back. He achieved nothing here.

I think Rivers has the size and the speed to improve our MLB position and playing there might reduce his chances for injury...
Bring him back real cheap. Maybe another one year contract or give him an incentive laden contract. It is hard to believe the guy has only been in the NFL for 4 years up until this point.
Of course the agent would say that. His job is to generate interest. I don't know whether he's worth nickles on a dollar but what his agent says now, is immaterial to the outcome.
No one remembers who came in second.
Of could stay healthy i would love him to be our starting weak side backer but that is a huge "IF" the guy has been hurt his entire career and nothing has changed since he came to the Giants... I think hes just going to waste our time again
He seems to lack field vision....basically every highlight reel that includes him is one where he is getting blindsided by someone.
I really hope Reese isn't counting on Rivers to to productive in 2013.....but if he'll resign for cheap, fine.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
I agree with the many who say its all about the money. I would absolutely keep him if he isn't too pricey. He has great talent when he is on the field. It's just so hard to believe somebody can be so unlucky that they would get injured every damn season. Unless we pick up something better, what the hell else do we have as Backers?
This will have to be a show me contract: show me you can stay healthy and show me you can play with the big boys. Wouldn't spend much over vet min.
Honestly, the Giants need a long term answer at MLB, and Keith Rivers is not that answer. The pass coverage over the middle is just awful, and once coaches started exploiting it, the defense looked terrible.
As far as bringing Rivers in, Id rather just keep Chase, Ive seen Chase make a lot more plays, and no one has more heart. Just wish the dude could actually defend soemone in pass coverage.
With our lack at LB, he's worth the vet min.

Just wondering because the push for plastic foundation hoe I would be able to remove multiple G cells from the frame or do they just go to waste? This is a newbee here wondering. Thanks
Just wondering because the push for plastic foundation hoe I would be able to remove multiple G cells from the frame or do they just go to waste? This is a newbee here wondering. Thanks
Rick Kumer
I dont belive they are removable.
Please visit my page, Thanks
For me, that is the big downside to PF's. What I do is just move the entire frame with QC(s) into a nuc, leaving at least one QC in the mother hive and at least one per nuc. IF I have time, I'll check frequently on those w/ multple QC's to try and catch a newly-emerged queen before she kills the others in their cells. If I do catch them, I'll remove them to another nuc. Should they disappear during mating or otherwise fail to mate properly, they can always be re-combined. -js

I saw a thread mid to late last summer that basically said you don't. the cell is damaged when separated from the plastic.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Last year I put a frame of brood above a cloakboard to pull nurse bees up,put in the graft next day. they started them but tore them down, sure enough I had moved the Queen up. I found her and moved her back downI waited a few days before grafting again, I pulled the frame of brood up and there was 17 Q cells started. I left them till they were caped then made little push in cages 1inch by 2inch by 3/4 deep out of # 8. It worked good, this year I hope to try it on swarm cells instead of emergency cells. It is easier to intro a cell to a nuc but a virgin seems to just run in the front door
>Just wondering because the push for plastic foundation hoe I would be able to remove multiple G cells from the frame or do they just go to waste?
I have never found a way. I just use each frame as one queen cell, no matter how many cells are on it and the rest do go to waste... that's a good reason to use foundationless with no wires. They cut out very nicely...

I've done it twice, just using a hive tool and gently lifting/scraping the cell off the plastic foundation center rib. It worked just fine. One had a small opening where it was attached but I just gently closed it by pinching, it was very small opening like a pinhead. Both cells produced nice looking queens. The combs I used were virgin wax, drawn and laid in as being drawn, so I'm sure that made the process much easier to succeed.
I also have used a flexable putty knife and just push it under the cell after having first cut around it they come off very well and I too had to close the hole at the top/back by pinching it shut and the queens emerged very nicely. I did this on day 14.

I've successfully teased a couple from rite cell using an exacto knife. It was used comb that had several layers of pupae silk which aided in the process of holding it together. Success will go up after the cell is 12 days old. The queen should be done developing. Most successful was with a 25 watt soldering iron. I filed the tip to a flat sharp point/edge. Just take your time. Practice on some old comb so you get the hang of it before doin the Q cell. It stinks LOL. It goes pretty fast though. If you cut so there are "wings" on either side of the cell, you can place the cell between the frames and the comb holds it in place. Worked well for me. I tried and exacto attachment for the soldering iron. It does not work on the plastic. The thin blade looses heat too fast. Sometimes the bees fixed the holes in the foundation, drone usually, and sometimes they just used them as new access points. No matter. At least one reason why I have and am switching to natural comb

How much do you really know about the club that started it all?
Oh, to be a Playboy Club keyholder in the 1960s…the Bunnies, the entertainment, the cost of the drinks…it was all about access. Although the original Chicago Playboy Club opened its doors more than 50 years ago, what it means to be a Bunny or to hold that coveted key is as powerful today as it was half a century ago, thanks to the new series airing on NBC this fall, The Playboy Club (premiering Monday, Sept. 19, 10 p.m. ET).
Here at Playboy HQ we're just as excited as you are for the show to start, so we brushed up on our own Bunny trivia. How much do you really know about what went on behind those mysterious, barely marked doors?

A Cuban journalist in exile: Unkept promises
The clouds of exile are twice as bitter. Being forced from your birthplace and into legal limbo in the land of your grandparents where you're met by complete official abandonment only deepens the wounds. My gloominess has nothing to do with the affection and solidarity shown by the Spanish people, especially the citizens of Madrid. Thanks to many of them my family--my wife and my little 5-year-old Emmanuel--have clothes and shoes. We arrived with nothing. Or worse yet: We arrived loaded down with the heavy baggage of my long imprisonment.

i got this book and fell in love with it. :-)
Here is the wonderful book!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
i got this book and fell in love with it. :-)
Here is the wonderful book!!!
Yes,I have the book and it is easy to understand which is so important when you are learning. I learn well from reading,but others prefer hands on. Our brains are made different,I guess.
I have that book...but it is packed away in storage...bummer!!! As I remember, it is full of high quality info and great pix as well.
I'd keep it, its a study book for you, that you can increase your knowledge.
I love books and this looks like a wonderful one to have, they know once you get it in your hands your not going to let it go. However; I'd be surprized if there was anything in that book that you couldn't find right here on this incredible board!Good luck with your decision.
The book comes with high reviews on Amazon.
Way to go :thumbup: :thumbup:
I have the same book and love it also... Happy Quilting
Good for you. It will be a good resourse.
Looks like a great book. I try to be very choosy when buying books (I never get rid of them) - this looks like the sort you will refer to and dip into regularly. Good buy.

text: Hi everyone. So sorry to you fans who have had to wait for new episodes while I got the website redone. It's finished, and it's MUCH more user-friendly, both for users and for me, the lone admin. So now you can see all past episodes at once, plus listen from the site (and not need to have Quicktime ) as well as subscribe several different ways. I hope you'll all participate by leaving comments, sending me information about figures for the figures page, and just spreading the word. And oh yes . . . Part 1 of Episode 41: Ice Capades is now up. It's soooo fun. I was invited to the 70th Reunion of Ice Capades in Las Vegas in June, and I had a magnificent time chatting with so many members, both famous and not famous, and also from the 1940s up to the 1990s. You'll learn a LOT about not only Ice Capades but how the ice shows operate. It's a blast. www.manleywoman.com Part 2 will be up by next week, and then I've got George Spiteri (of SPTeri boots) and Barbara Ann Scott on deck. Thanks for all your patience!

I would need to see more data before I would accept the blame the queens argument. I would argue that disease tolerant traits can be selected for in productive lines of bees without sacrificing any economically valuable traits.
Nutrition and mites seem to be the main culprits in most struggling apiaries. On the nutrition front, loss of forage due to large scale Roundup ready style monoculture means a lot less variety in bee diet. Oliver's article in this months ABJ addresses this.

United States Attorney

10 West Market Street, Suite 2100
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
Doctor Indicted for Student Loan Fraud
Susan W, Brooks, United. States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, announced that HEROLD PIERRE LOUIS, of New York, was indicted by a federal grand jury sitting in Indianapolis for student loan fraud, following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General.
The indictment alleges that PIERRE LOUIS engaged in a fraud on student loan program guaranteed by the United States Department of Education, by submitting false student loan applications in order to pay for his education at schools that were not eligible to receive Department of Education guaranteed loans. The indictment alleges that from 1996 to 2000 PIERRE LOUIS submitted applications for Department of Education, guaranteed loans that contained false or fraudulent information, such as certifications from schools that he did not attend, and certifications that the loan would not exceed maximum annual loan amounts when in fact they did exceed the maximum annual loan amount. Further, he promised to repay any money that he did not use according to the terms of the application, but he did not repay any money despite using the loan proceeds contrary to the terms of the application.
According to Assistant United States Attorney Winfield D. Ong, who is prosecuting the case for the government, PIERRE LOUIS faces a maximum possible prison sentence of 5 years and a maximum possible fine of $250,000. An initial hearing will be scheduled for PIERRE LOUIS before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Indianapolis.
The indictment is an allegation only, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at trial or by guilty plea.

The Northeast Natural Gas Market in 2030
|LNG imports have grown substantially in recent years and they are expected to grow sevenfold by 2030. A review of the industry and infrastructure in the Northeast shows a region with limited indigenous production, so the region relies on flows into the area for most of the natural gas it consumes. A key source of supply is the LNG import terminal located in Everett, Massachusetts, which provides about 20 percent of regional supply. The United States needs additional LNG imports to meet future natural gas demand, however, building new LNG terminals in the Northeast or elsewhere involves a number of tradeoffs that will depend on energy markets and local acceptance.

Where I stayed
Lynn's Lodge
I'm sitting at McDonald's this morning reflecting on several things. (Couldn't find a close Starbucks!)
Following the development of the human spirit is about the most interesting process in the universe. Humanity is so ready to condemn before searching for all the available facts. I suppose it is a human trait that will follow us around until the end of time. The Great Mystery has brought us so close to a semblance of maturity; however, we must look pretty immature to Him at times. I was thinking about how humanity has pretty much exhausted religious trappings. We have come to a crossroads that contains only blinking red lights. We must re-form our lives into something more meaningful without the markings of stiff religious rules before man goes forth to higher levels of understanding. Religion is great and sorely needed
My love to yours,

This weekend the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) opened a new exhibit, Nature Unleashed. It's all about natural disasters — what causes them, how we measure them and try to predict them, what sort of damage they can cause. For kids (and adults) who are interested in uncontrollable forces of nature, it's a pretty cool exhibit about tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

She was a comely young woman,
and not without prospects.
Therefore it was heartbreaking
to her mother that she would
enter into marriage with
William Munny, a known thief
and murderer, a man of
notoriously vicious and
intemperate disposition.
When she died, it was not at
his hands as her mother might
have expected, but of smallpox.
That was 1878.
"Unforgiven" tells the story of the widower William Munny, played by legendary film star Clint Eastwood. As we're informed by the opening scroll (above), Munny was a former thief and murderer who lost his wife to smallpox in 1878. Now he is raising their two children by himself on a small farm out on the prairie.
Prior to her death, Munny's wife reformed him. He makes an honest living for himself now, and no longer drinks, or kills, or even cusses.
So when Munny is told "You don't look like no rootin' tootin' cold blooded assassin," as we first see him, it's true. He certainly no longer is those things. He's now a pig farmer and a father. A reformed man who hasn't drawn a gun on someone in over ten years.
When a prostitute is viciously cut up in the nearby town of Big Whiskey, the rest of her brothel raises a reward for the killing of the men who defaced her.
It's this bounty that brings the "Scofield Kid" to seek Munny out. The kid is young and foolhardy. But he's heard of Munny, and his prior deeds. He informs Munny of the reward and asks then asks him to join in.
It happens that Munny is facing hard times. While it's not something he wants to do, he needs the money. Plus it seems as though they'd be serving justice. "The Kid" overstates how badly the men cut up the girl. And so, Munny sets off. He recruits an old friend along the way, Ned, played by Morgan Freeman, and together they ride off towards Big Whiskey to catch up with the "Scofield Kid" and then avenge the whore and collect the bounty.
Big Whiskey is run by a Sheriff called "Little Bill" Daggett played by Gene Hackman in an Academy Award winning role.
Bill is certainly an ambiguous character. On the one hand, he's not the stereotypical evil sheriff, ruling the town with an iron fist, lording over a fearful citizenry. He's jovial, he's liked. He's (poorly) building a house on the outskirts of town. It seems as though his heart is in the right place, and all the things he's doing are to protect Big Whiskey. While he's supposed to be the town's lawman, his methods are reprehensible. He hands out vicious beatings, whippings and killings in order to warn off others.
"Little Bill" doesn't allow firearms in Big Whiskey. And that's a problem with a host of bounty hunters on their way to collect on the prostitute's reward offer.
The trio of Munny, Ned and the Scofield Kid make their way cross the countryside, struggling against the elements and each other. After riding through the rain, Munny arrives at Big Whiskey ill. He encounters "Lil Bill" and his gang and winds up getting beaten within an inch of his life. He has to be taken out of town to be nursed back to health by the whores.
When he recovers, he makes a touching connection with the scarred girl he came to avenge. "You ain't ugly like me," he tells her, "It's just that we've both have got scars." They're two wounded souls, connecting in touching manner. Munny ends the scene by telling her his wife is back in Kansas, looking over his kids. You know what he means, even if she doesn't.
Beautifully shot in the snowy mountains of Alberta, Canada, this is one of my favorite scenes in the movie, easily.
All that's left to be done is the killing of the Cowboys.
The three struggle to commit the murders however. Ned has lost his taste for it, and the kid struggles to get up the nerve. The movie does an excellent job of conveying the weight of killing someone.
The deeds get done, but not without their cost. The toll is steep indeed.
And the inevitable showdown between Munny and "Little Bill" still looms.
Between the numerous references to his old deeds, and the sizable regret that Munny is grappling with, the viewer has filled in a picture for themselves of Munny as the Antichrist, retired. A killer of such scope as to have no equal. So when he takes that swig off of the kid's bottle, forsaking the reformation his departed wife, you know… you KNOW that all Hell is about to break loose.
And break loose it does.
When Munny rides into town, past the publicly displayed corpse, through the flickering torches and into the saloon, it feels as though he's descending into Hell. The men awaiting him simply haven't realized that they're dead yet. When he growls his infamous "I've killed women and children" lines, we may as well be watching the Grim Reaper announcing his arrival.
This is a movie that challenges the Western movie character archetypes. This hero isn't just reluctant, he's remorseful. And when he reverts to form, it's not heroic, it's cold-blooded. The hotshot kid is full of shit, a little slow, nearsighted and actually full of fear. The evil Sheriff is well liked by the town, and seems like a nice guy when he's not making misguided efforts to act in the town's best interests.
To the viewer aware of Eastwood's filmography, Munny feels self referential. It's next to impossible to watch a man who has killed hundreds if not thousands onscreen playing a character who bemoans killing, and not feel he's actually being personally remorseful. This is Eastwood's "The Shootist". Per the film's Wikipedia page, "The concept for the film dated as far back as 1976 under the titles The Cut-Whore Killings and The William Munny Killings. Eastwood delayed the project, partly because he wanted to wait until he was old enough to play his character and to savor it as the last of his western films."
The cinematography here is beautiful. The movie isn't afraid to linger over the beautiful country the story is set in. The fields, the mountains, the woods and streams, they're as much the stars as Eastwood, Freeman and Hackman. Surprisingly it didn't capture the Academy Award that year, losing to "A River Runs Through It", also a gorgeous movie. In many, many other years, this movie would have walked away with the Cinematography statuette with ease.
But there was no shortage of awards and accolades for this film. It won four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor (Hackman). It was also nominated for five others, including Best Actor for Eastwood. It appeared on AFI's 100 Years… 100 Movies list at number 98, and when the tenth anniversary list was released, it rose a full thirty spots to number 68. They currently have it as their number four western of all time.
I'm certain that the estimation of this film will only continue to increase with time as well.
It's definitely a "Movie That Everyone Should See".

Third year hive always been strong. Looks like DWV but some look like may have been pulled before they emerged. Some not developed physically well . One had white eyes. That one had a creep factor. I wonder if they might have been pulled from the cell after being chilled and the wings just were not fully formed. Below freezing at night here. But,,,,some had un equal damaged wings. Maybe a little of all the above. No history of DWV outbreaks observed.
Thoughts, ideas, appreciated.

Unfortunately I don't have all the PMs saved as my inbox filled up rather quickly this game, so I needed to get rid of them, but my memory is pretty good on this one.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
The last write up said you were surprised to see the assassin. So the question becomes would the assassin have the ability to come back and regain power, or do the reds have the ability to simulate the assassin somehow. With the forger being dead, it seems they wouldn't be able to do that.

International media is coming under pressure to give coverage to Palestinian baker Khader Adnan, who has entered his 63rd day of hunger strike to protest his detention without charge at an Israeli prison. On Saturday thousands of Twitter users were trending the hashtags #CoverKhader and #WaitingforKristof demanding that media, and New York Times correspondent Nicholas Kristof in particular, gives more coverage to the plight of the detainee. Adnan is being held at Ziv hospital in northern Israel, where he was transferred from Ofer prison in the West Bank and according to NGO Physicians for Human Rights is in "immediate danger of death". Read more about the hunger striker here.
The New York Times foreign correspondent Nicholas Kristof was inundated with tweets demanding that he covers the hunger strike. Kristof became an easy target for many due to one of his opinion pieces which was published in 2010, questioning if peaceful mass protest was truly possible in Palestine.
@NickKristof You speak so eloquently and endlessly about the need for non violence in PAL. Now follow up. #CoverKhader #WaitingOnKristof
.@NickKristof has bn asking 4 a Palestinian Ghandi 4 so long.Now, we're #waitingforkristof 2 #CoverKhader. Is he going to cover b4 it's late
This is the The New York Times report 'Waiting for Gandhi' that incited the flood of tweets directed at Kristof:
Source: The New York Times
Journalist and best-selling author Max Blumenthal, who has also been published with The New York Times, joined the chorus:
After 63 day hunger strike, #KhaderAdnan's voice is weak. We're #WaitingForKristof to speak up and #CoverKhader. @NickKristof
Don't let #KhaderAdnan die. He has NOT been charged with any crime. This is news. report it. @NickKristof @cnn @nytimes #CoverKhader
However, Twitter users also reached out to other news organisations trying to push Adnan's hunger strike onto the news agenda.
@FOXNEWS An innocent man lies shackled 2 a bed in Israeli detention, violated & stripped of his H rights WHY NO PRESS COVERAGE? #coverKhader
This tweet is directed at Sky News' digital news editor and prominent Twitter personality Neal Mann:
@fieldproducer Hi Neal, hope all is well. Any hope for @SKY to #CoverKhader he has been on hunger strike for 63 days that's more than Ghandi
Others targetted the BBC, although the British news organisation published a short report about the ongoing protests in support of Adnan in Gaza and the West Bank on its website on Friday.
@BBCBreaking Khader Adnan: 63 days on a hunger strike when will the media take notice. Will you cover his compelling story? #CoverKhader
Others tried to take the message to politicians:
.@BarackObama @AmbassadorRice @HRClinton @StateDept your silence is deafening and the media is complicit. #CoverKhader
The hunger strike has not been entirely off the radar as some international news organisations have given it coverage, including euronews, Al Jazeera and a number of French outlets.
Radio France did #CoverKhader several times and continues to do so.
Over recent days there have been several video messages sent to Adnan by Irish Republicans from Northern Ireland expressing their solidarity. The most recent is a message by Sinn Fein member Raymond McCartney, who went on hunger strike for 53 days in 1980 in the Maze prison at Long Kesh.
Source: sinnfeinireland Embed Code
Former US president Jimmy Carter's foundation The Carter Center has been one of the organisations that called for the release of the hunger striker:
The Carter Center calls on the Israeli government to immediately charge or release Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, who was arrested on Dec. 17, 2011, based on "secret evidence" and has been held in administrative detention without charge.
Mr. Adnan's case highlights the inconsistencies of Israel's administrative detention policies with internationally recognized rights to due process.

Join us today for the UN.GIFT webinar: Best practices for reporting on human trafficking and the role of the media
Tuesday September 17th, UN.GIFT Webinar Series
The media plays an indispensable role in informing the public about the many manifestations of global human trafficking, presenting the problem in human terms and in all its painful detail.
Photo courtesy of Mimi Chakarova
In recent years, both global and local news organizations including CNN, Al Jazeera, and the Guardian have increasingly reported about the crime and have been instrumental in raising public awareness about trafficking in persons. As they have shown, the media has a large role to play in mobilizing public awareness, support, and involvement to help prevent and combat trafficking. Due to its reach and ability to mould public opinion, it is a powerful tool for social change.
Yet media coverage is weak and inconsistent in many parts of the world. Some news media outlets are not yet aware of the trafficking phenomenon, or confuse it with other issues such as illegal migration and migrant smuggling. Another challenge for journalists is telling victims' stories while not perpetuating the cycle of exploitation.
The United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) is pleased to invite you to participate in an online seminar that will take an in-depth look at the role of the media in covering and raising awareness about human trafficking, and address the many challenges journalists encounter when reporting about this crime.
Bringing together a panel of distinguished journalists, the conference will be an opportunity to exchange best practices for reporting about human trafficking. Each panelist will make a brief presentation about their work in the field; following the panel presentations will be a moderated Q&A discussion. Questions will come from both the moderator and the online audience.
Our panel will include:
Mimi Chakarova, Photographer, filmmaker, producer of "The Price of Sex"
Harriet Grant, Freelance journalist specialising in migration and human rights, Commissioning Editor for the Guardian's Modern Day Slavery in Focus project
Leonardo Sakamoto, Journalist, Reporter Brazil
Moderated by: Luciana Viegas, Public Information Officer, UNODC
11AM EDT (New York) / 12 noon BRT (Sao Paulo) /
4PM BST (London) / 5PM CET (Vienna)
Registration is required to join this meeting. Click here to register: UN.GIFT Webinar: Best practices for reporting on human trafficking and the role of the media

Pan Seared Beef Filet with Brandied Green Peppercorn Sauce
From Chef Tim Garling of the Jackalope Grill in Bend
Yield: 4 servings
Oven: 350 degrees
4 well trimmed 6-8 oz. beef filets
2 T chopped shallots
3 T demi-glace
2 teaspoons drained green peppercorns
2 T brandy
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Fresh squeezed lemon juice
Worchestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
Canola oil
INSTRUCTIONS: Heat a sauté pan large enough to hold the filets with no crowding until it is very hot. Generously season the filets with salt and pepper, add a modest amount of canola oil to the pan and immediately add the filets. Cook over maximum heat until the steaks are well browned on both sides then put them to the oven in a separate pan.
Pour the oil out of the hot pan leaving about one tablespoon. Add the shallots, demi-glace and the green peppercorns. Put the sauté pan back on high heat and carefully add the brandy (it will flame up if you are cooking with gas). Turn the heat down to medium high and add the cream. Reduce to about ½ cup and then season to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice and perhaps a dash of Worchtershire sauce.
For medium-rare steaks, cook until they have reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees on a meat thermometer. Put them on a warm platter top with the sauce, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Research Summary
The goal of the Katz laboratory is to selectively control the cell death machinery for therapeutic benefit. Toward that end a multidisciplinary approach is applied to understand how mammalian cells are conditioned to expire, and how mutations in essential apoptotic regulators lead to developmental defects or malignancy. In particular, BCL-2 family proteins are vital regulators of mitochondrial integrity and have been implicated in the development, maintenance and chemoresistance of numerous cancers. While the basic mode of BCL-2 family action is established, how this pathway is integrated in the context of various cellular programs, including alternate survival and death pathways, is not nearly as well understood.
Thus, we focus on:
- severe apoptotic blockades in cancer stem cells;
- loss of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members in mantle cell lymphoma as well as other cancers; and
- the mechanism of key understudied family members.

Brian Hayes
The great age of automata, or lifelike machines, began toward the close of the Middle Ages and lasted into the 17th century. The technological marvels of that era were clockwork confections—intricate assemblies of gears, cranks, levers and ratchets. Clocks displayed the phases of the moon and the annual progress of the sun through the zodiac; they had animated figures to strike the hours and entertain onlookers.
From machines that imitate life and the heavens, it is an easy step to the idea that life itself might be a mechanical process and that the stars could be driven by some kind of celestial geartrain. The clockwork universe figures in the thinking of Dante, Galileo, Kepler and Newton. Another exponent of clockwork in the sky was Descartes, who also compared animals to mechanical automata. And Thomas Hobbes wrote: "For seeing life is but a motion of Limbs . . . why may we not say, that all Automata (Engines that move themselves by springs and wheels as doth a watch) have an artificial life?"
Today, the chronometer's ticking escapement is no longer the epitome of high tech. Brass gears have given way to silicon chips. And as the computer has conquered technology, it has also taken the place of clockwork in metaphor and myth. Novels and films no longer portray us as cogs in a machine we can't control; instead we are bit-players in someone else's virtual reality. At a slightly more serious philosophical level, an ongoing debate asks whether computational processes could account for everything happening in the universe, or whether something more—something nonalgorithmic—is needed. And occasionally the question is asked whether the entire universe might be a vast computer cogitating on The Answer.
The vision of a cosmic computer has inspired literary and philosophical speculation, but the roots of the idea lie in the everyday practice of computer science. It's the sort of notion that might occur to anyone who spends enough time twiddling bits—especially late at night in a caffeine frenzy. There are two versions of the idea, one belonging to the hardware hacker and the other to the software wizard. The distinction between them is this: In the first case the world is computing something; in the second the world is computed by something.
The hardware variant springs from the observation that even though computers are complicated and finicky devices, you can build one out of almost anything. The beige box on your desk runs on microelectronic circuits, but in principle all of its functions could be performed by hydraulic or pneumatic or photonic devices. Danny Hillis and his friends built a computer out of Tinker Toys and string. Leonard Adleman performed a computation with strands of DNA in a test tube. Other schemes would compute with enzymes or living bacterial cells or spinning atomic nuclei.
The counterpoint to all this technological diversity is theoretical equivalence. Provided that a machine never runs out of memory and that you're willing to wait long enough for an answer, almost all computers can compute exactly the same set of mathematical functions (and they fail on the same set of uncomputable problems). The proof of equivalence relies on the idea of an emulator: a program that allows one machine to run programs written for another. The usual practice is to show that a given computer can emulate a Turing machine, the theoretical computing device invented by Alan Turing in the 1930s, whose underlying technology is the marking of paper tape.
Should we be surprised that so many kinds of machines can all compute the same things? Forty years ago Eugene Wigner wrote of "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences," asking why differential equations should work so well to describe the physical world. The converse question is just as intriguing. Why do all the resources of the material world lend themselves so readily to computing mathematical functions? Why is it you can pick up just about any spare parts lying about the universe and turn them into logic gates or binary adders?
One answer is that the world is a computer. It was designed to have exactly this property. The most celebrated speculation along these lines is found in Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Adams reveals that the planet Earth was constructed as a gigantic computer meant to carry out a five-billion-year inquiry into "the meaning of life, the universe and everything."
Others imagine computers on an even grander scale, reaching beyond this little wet rock of ours to fill the entire universe. One visionary of the cosmos-as-computer was the late Konrad Zuse, who was also among the earliest of all hardware hackers (he had a digital computer up and running years before ENIAC). Zuse conjectured that the ground fabric of the universe might be a kind of computer called a cellular automaton. This same idea has been pursued with even greater vigor by Edward Fredkin, a free spirit of computer science who led the Information Mechanics Group at MIT in the 1980s.
A cellular automaton is an array of many simple processors arranged in a lattice. Think of a tiled floor with a processor on every tile. Each processor (or cell) has only a finite number of possible states and can communicate with only a finite number of neighboring cells. At each tick of a master clock, every cell chooses its next state according to a fixed "transition rule." The best-known example of a cellular automaton is the Game of Life, invented 30 years ago by John Horton Conway of Princeton University. The cells in Life have two states—alive or dead—and the transition rule simply counts the number of living neighbor cells.
At first glance a cellular automaton doesn't look much like our world. For one thing, our space appears to be continuous: Where are the cells? Fredkin suggests they are simply too fine to see—perhaps as small as the Planck scale, 10–33 centimeter. A subtler objection is that our world teems with fast-moving particles, such as electrons and protons whizzing around inside atoms, whereas only signals travel through the lattice of a cellular automaton; the cells are immobile. Here too Fredkin has an answer. A fairly simple transition rule creates packets of information that glide frictionlessly through the cellular automaton like idealized billiard balls, rebounding elastically when they collide. Maybe what we perceive as motion has a similar basis, and elementary particles are made of nothing more substantial than information.
Cellular automata are a natural choice for a computational universe because they require only local communication between nearby processors. There is no need for wires or other long-distance rigging. The deepest laws of nature also seem to be strictly local, making for a good match between physics and computation. These aspects of cellular automata—the dual ideas of "programmable matter" and "computable physics"—have been explored in great detail by Tommaso Toffoli and Norman Margolus, who were both members of the Information Mechanics Group.
In the absence of compelling evidence—and this is a case where we have a compelling absence of evidence—why would anyone choose to believe that the universe is busy churning out calculations? The Douglas Adams fantasy suggests the allure of a hidden purpose. Why are we here? To compute the meaning of life, the universe and everything. All those events that seem so random and pointless will be explained when the cosmic computer prints out the final answer. (Either that, or the computer crashed ages ago, and we've been waiting all this time for someone to reboot us.)
Fredkin's vision of the universe as cellular automaton is a little different. His computer isn't necessarily searching for bits of wisdom; it may simply be computing its own next state, over and over, with no goal in mind. Yet Fredkin too wonders about invisible undercurrents and mysteries of purpose. He points out that since most of space is empty, most of the cells in the automaton have nothing to do most of the time. He calls this "the problem of the missing workload"; by his estimate, the computing capacity of the universe is greater than needed by a factor of 1063. "Either something else is going on . . .," he comments, or "God was incompetent on a scale that boggles the mind."
If the hardware fantasy is that you can build a computer out of anything in the world, the software version is that you can make a world inside any computer. Indeed, the sense of personal omnipotence, of creating a domain where you are master, is part of programming's seductive charm. But playing God is dangerous. When you manufacture worlds at will, you become vulnerable to the awful surmise that your own world might be someone else's whim.
As the creator of a computer-simulated world, you decree the laws of nature. If you think gravity should be proportional to the cube of the distance rather than the square, then write the equation F = Gmm/r3. Invent water molecules that freeze into eight-pointed snowflakes. Build proteins out of right-handed amino acids. Let the universe expand every Monday through Friday and contract on the weekends.
Does the programmer of a simulated universe have total freedom of design? I don't know. If I invent a world, I'm fairly sure I can make the speed of light whatever I please, but it might be harder to tinker with the value of pi, or to make five-pointed snowflakes (allowing regular pentagons to tile the plane). Similarly, I don't know how to create a universe where the commutative law of addition fails to hold. But maybe these difficulties just reflect the weakness of my imagination. In any case, even if there are limits to the variety of simulated worlds, the programmer clearly has a lot of latitude. And if the laws of simulated nature are so arbitrary, how can we be sure the ground truth of our own world is not the invention of some sleep-deprived programmer?
The fear that the world we know—or think we know—might be nothing but a computer simulation is a nerdish version of a much older idea. In Through the Looking Glass we are figments of the Red King's dream; a Taoist parable has a monk dreaming of a butterfly dreaming of a monk. But the computer has put a sharper edge on these musings. Now we have a technology of artificial reality.
The theme turns up frequently in fiction and film. A recent movie by Andy and Larry Wachowski, The Matrix, portrays a future in which 1990s urban life is a computer simulation created to mollify an enslaved humanity. (One amusing scene reveals that the phenomenon of déjá vu betrays a "glitch in the Matrix," where the illusion momentarily fails.)
The most sophisticated play with these ideas is found in the fantasies of the Polish writer Stanslaw Lem, whose "constructors" Trurl and Klapaucius build a variety of computers, machines and worlds. One of Trurl's disasters is the machine that can make anything starting with the letter n—"nimbuses, noodles, nuclei, neutrons, naphtha, noses, nymphs, naiads. . ." The disaster comes when the skeptical Klapaucius asks the machine to make Nothing, and whole categories of objects begin disappearing from the universe.
In another story Trurl builds a toy kingdom for a deposed tyrant. Klapaucius is appalled:
"Have I understood you correctly?" he said at last. "You gave that brutal despot, that born slavemaster, that slavering sadist of a painmonger, you gave him a whole civilization to rule and have dominion over forever? . . . Trurl, how could you have done such a thing?"
"You must be joking!" Trurl exclaimed. "Really, the whole kingdom fits in a box three feet by two by two and a half . . . it's only a model. . . ."
"A model of what?"
"What do you mean, of what? Of a civilization, obviously, except that it's a hundred million times smaller."
"And how do you know there aren't civilizations a hundred million times larger than our own? And if there were, would ours then be a model? . . ."
The story has a happy ending, more or less. Trurl's Lilliputians escape their confinement, overthrow the tyrant and begin playing with nuclear weapons, like any self-respecting civilization.
Hans Moravec of Carnegie Mellon University offers another perspective on the theme in his book Mind Children. He imagines a Game of Life where after many ticks of the master clock some of the patterns in the cellular automaton develop consciousness. "The cellular intelligences (let's call them the Cellticks) deduce the cellular nature and the simple transition rule governing their space and its finite extent. They realize that each tick of time destroys some of the original diversity of their space and that gradually their whole universe will run down." So the Cellticks make contact with their creator by spelling out a message on the computer screen. Then the Cellticks and the programmer go off together to explore the programmer's universe, hoping to find another level of reality before this one too runs down.
In most tales of simulated worlds, the tissue of plausibility becomes thinnest at the interface between levels of reality. I can believe (just barely!) in a civilization that exists only as a computer program. Where my suspension of disbelief becomes least willing is in the crossing over between a physical world and an algorithmic one. In movies the leap is often made by putting on a skullcap studded with electrodes or by plugging a cable into your spinal cord. It seems to me there is a fundamental category violation here. I am made of atoms and molecules. How could I enter a world of bits and bytes? (But maybe that's what all simulated creatures say.)
Moravec, in his parable of the Cellticks, handles this issue more carefully than other authors. His programmer never steps into the gridlike space of the cellular automaton. The Celltick program does become an inhabitant of the programmer's world, but not by any kind of magic metamorphosis. The transmigration of souls happens in easy technological stages. First, microphones and television cameras are attached to the Cellticks' computer to give them sensory experience; then the computer is made mobile, so that they can explore on their own.
The most intriguing part of Moravec's fantasy deals with the crucial moment of discovery, when the Cellticks first learn their true ontological status. They take a scientific approach, studying the transition rules that constitute the laws of nature in their universe. "Once in a long while the transition rules are violated, and a cell that should be on goes off, or vice versa . . . . After recording many such violations, the Cellticks detect correlations between distant regions and theorize that these places may be close together in a larger universe." From this slender clue they learn the structure of the computer that is running the program that creates their world, and they decipher its machine language. We would call this process reverse engineering, but to the Cellticks it is physics.
It seems significant that malfunctions have a role in the Cellticks' cosmological investigation. In a properly functioning computer, a program cannot learn anything about the hardware on which it is running. True, the program might think it has learned something. It might go digging through read-only memory and find buried there the telltale markers of an Apple II computer. But the ability of one computer to emulate another makes such digital archeology untrustworthy. The Apple II might be an emulation running on an IBM PC, or a HAL 9000. If the emulators are written correctly, they can reproduce even the most obscure quirks and bugs of the target hardware. Unless you get lucky and spot a glitch in the Matrix, no program will detect the fraud.
Once you begin to take such ideas seriously, the situation goes from bad to worse in a hurry. Consider this: If a simulation is complete enough to have some kind of intelligent entities within it, then those entities could also build computers to simulate worlds, which could include still more computers and simulations of their own. In this tower of simulations, where would our world fit? To answer that question it seems best to invoke a computational Copernican principle. Just as the earth is unlikely to lie at the center of the universe, our level of simulation is unlikely to lie at either the very top or the very bottom of the tower.
This principle can be followed along a curious trail of further arguments. Although we might not be directly aware of any levels of simulation above us, we ought to know about those below us, since they are our own creations. But no such levels exist; we have not (yet) created any artificial civilizations. Thus we seem to be at the very bottom of the tower, which is unlikely, and so it seems safe to assume we are real flesh and blood after all. But this reassuring chain of reasoning has a dark side. If we ever do construct a simulated world rich enough in resources that its inhabitants can create their own simulated worlds, then on that basis alone we might have to conclude that we ourselves are a simulation.
One group of scholars would argue that our world cannot be a computer simulation because it includes something that is uncomputable, namely the conscious human mind. Three advocates of this view are John Searle, Hubert Dreyfus and Roger Penrose. They marshal quite different arguments in support of their positions, but all three conclude that no algorithmic process could reproduce everything that goes on in the mind. This idea that consciousness guarantees our reality echoes the Cartesian motto "I think, therefore I am."
For those who see no vital difference between brains and computers, the Searle-Dreyfus-Penrose arguments offer no refuge. But perhaps some other computability constraint will intervene. After all, even if it turns out we can simulate a single human mind, it doesn't necessarily follow that we can simulate the entire visible universe.
Writing a program to simulate even a simple physical system—say a few balls on a billiard table—gives you respect for nature's computational abilities. There is so much to keep track of. If you get careless in your collision-detection algorithm, two billiard balls will glide right through each other—a glitch in the Matrix that is sure to be noticed. Performing such a computation for all the atoms in the universe would be truly daunting.
Jürgen Schmidhuber of the Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale in Lugano, Switzerland takes up the question of computability in a recent paper titled "A Computer Scientist's View of Life, the Universe and Everything." He concludes that the simplest strategy for simulating the universe might be to compute all possible universes simultaneously. The program for a typical universe would be long and messy, with many tedious special cases. But a trivial metaprogram avoids these complications. It simply enumerates all possible universe-simulating programs in order of increasing length, and executes them simultaneously by interleaving their instructions.
The world seems very solid when you stub a toe, and the suggestion that it might all be a mere pattern of bits appears downright silly. But even an idea that's not taken seriously or literally can have a powerful influence.
The clockwork universe was first of all a theological notion. A clock was thought to imply a clockmaker; and yet, once the clock was wound and set in motion, there was no further need for divine intervention. Thus the religion of the clockwork universe was a cool and inoffensive minimifidianism, with a creator but no presiding ruler. In a similar way, a computational theology might suppose a departed programmer, who clicked on the button marked "Go" and then walked away. But even without a meddlesome programmer on the scene, free will is hard to find in a computing or computed universe. Our actions seem to be ruled by an algorithm whose scope we cannot know.
Perhaps there is a way out. In principle, every detail of a computer's future can be deduced from its present state. Nevertheless, anyone who writes programs has occasionally been surprised by their behavior. Some of the surprises are unpleasant: They are bugs. From another point of view, though, surprises are the whole point of computation. If you could work out in your head everything a program might do, you would have no need to run it on a machine. This idea can be stated more strongly: Some programs are "incompressible," in that no shorter program yields the same result, and there is no faster way of learning what the program does than to run it from start to finish. If our program turns out to be incompressible, we may be acting in ways the programmer never anticipated.
Maybe we can even keep the program and dispense with the programmer. Just as the need for a clockmaker gradually faded from the clockwork universe, perhaps a computational universe could evolve without a computermaker. There is much interest lately in self-organizing systems, emergent computation and evolutionary algorithms. What these buzzwords have in common is the theme of computations done without any need for someone to specify the program in full detail. One of these ideas might allow us to compute our lives away in comfortable anonymity and autonomy.
And a further flight of metaphysical fancy can wipe out the last traces of computational creationism. In the tower of simulations built upon simulations, the ever-nagging question is who built the computer at the top of the tower. But an obvious topological trick will rid us of this inconvenience. Simply wrap the tower around and connect the bottom to the top, forming a vicious circle. In this ring of worlds, we simulate ourselves.

Newbee here,
A swarm left my best hive, (Wednesday, July 3)
(Captured and living in a nuc)
(Friday, July 5) I cut out, froze and counted 267 drone larvae from the hive they left.
On these I found 40 varroa mites.
That's 15% or 1:6 (but I know drones are mite heavy)
To treat or not treat?
No eggs, no larvae found during the inspection
So I've got a virgin queen situation.
I'll inspect again next weekend, hoping to find eggs.
If I do need to treat (I have MAQS ready) or (powdered sugar)
How long should I wait to let the new queen get settled, if she returns and is laying?
Thanks from a hot, humid and constantly raining northern Vermont.

Reviews of this property
Bruna was very kind to us. She gave us a ride to the rental apartment from her own place when we arrived by taxi from the airport. She also gave us our last ride to the train station on our departure day & helped us to figure out where we needed to wait to catch our bus to Austria. That was very helpful, Bruna!
We seemed to click instantly while we chatted & folded dry sheets together.
Great experience with our host!
Bruna and Walter met us at the room location and took us to the little apartment. The room was clean and very up to date. It was also in a quiet location. Half a block away is a bus station and ticket office that gets you into Venice. Bruna had valuable tips for our stay and we felt very well taken care of.
Bruna is very nice, helpful and you will get a lot of useful infos travelling and eating in venice. The bedroom is small but comfortable, the bathroom very clean and the kitchen had everything we need. The photos say all...
We had three nice days at Brunas Cozy Modern Room!
Thanks to Bruna
Bea and Fabian (Berlin)
Great place to stay! Bruna is a very nice host and gave us lots of good advise about restaurants, parties, shopping etc. If we come back to Venice, we would stay here again. The room was clean and we shared the kitchen with another couple. You can go to Venice by bus, 15 min, bus stop is not far from the house.
We had an incredible time!
The accommodation is like a small apartment, including 2 bedroom. Separate bathrooms.
It was very clean, well furnished and just to feel good.
The kitchen was so well equipped that one could obtain supplies easily.
Maghera is a very comfortable place where you can find everything you need. Whether supermarket, pharmacy, restaurant, cafe or the bus station - all there!
If we again looking for a hotel, we ask here again!
Wir hatten eine unglaublich schöne Zeit!
Die Unterkunft ist wie eine kleine Wohnung mit 2 Schlafzimmern inkl. Separaten Badezimmern.
Es war sehr sauber, toll eingerichtet und einfach nur zum Wohlfühlen.
Die Küche war auch so gut ausgestattet, dass man sich problemlos versorgen könnte.
Maghera ist ein sehr gemütlicher Ort, in dem man alles findet was man braucht. Ob Supermarkt, Apotheke, Restaurant, Café oder die Busstation - alles da!
Wenn wir nochmal eine Unterkunft suchen, fragen wir hier wieder an!
Amazing host, and very helpful for us.
She knows a lot of places in Venice.
House is extremely clean and very well designed. It 10 min from Venice by bus, so if you want to go to Venice, choose Bruna's house in Marguera.
See you soon Bruna :)
Bruna was a a respectful, helpful host. The aparmtent is located close to Venice Mestre and is good base to explore the old beuatiful Venice centre.

Pregnant woman in fatal crash charged with impaired driving
SNOW HILL - The Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate a crash that led to the death of a woman, toddler, and the unborn child of the driver.
The wreck happened Monday in Greene County, northeast of Snow Hill. Investigators said the vehicle lost control, ran over the center lane and headed into oncoming traffic.
The two killed in the wreck have been identified as 20-year-old Erica Jones and 18-month-old Kaleigh Cooper. The driver, 19-year-old Macie Mooring, was also injured in the crash; she gave birth to a child at the hospital who did not survive. Jones and Mooring were friends who lived near each other. Jones' two children -- a newborn and toddler -- survived the crash.
Troopers say Mooring will be charged with driving while impaired; other charges may be filed.
