Does anyone have ideas on ways to feed multiple hives from one location? I have five hives, all new Nucs recently placed in deeps, and it was recommended that I feed them this year to help build them up. However, I'd rather not feed each individual hive and instead have a single location for all the bees.
Lazy? Maybe a little.
Efficient? Trying to be.
Thanks for the info.

text: The history is. I set up my KTBH this spring with a feral swarm from Lisbon OH. They were doing very well and drawing comb without much interference from me. Queen was laying well and so forth. Last week I decided to put some syrup into them. While poking around I noticed a swarm cell on the last drawn frame from the entrance. I decided to think about what to do about it for a day and forgot altogether. I opend the hive yesterday and the cell was still capped and I saw larva so I cut the cell out. Now they were a little more agressive than my others but that might have been the weather. I disected the swarm cell and found a fully formed (dead) queen. I went to squish her and she was empty, no gooey filling. What gives? Do I have a disease? Help please. Thanks.

Event Details
Beyond the limits of your imagination is the Fringe. Nothing can prepare you or the performers for what will happen, a totally new show every night, a totally unexpected type of theater, a completely unbeatable way to spend a night. Thursdays at the Bovine Metropolis Theater go beyond the unknown into the Fringe. An adventure into creation, art, fun and improvisation in its most daring form. Playing out on the Fringe is an intense and deeply communal experience of joy. Improvisation can break down the barriers between audience and performers creating a unique group experience every night. Describing this show, we compare it to skydiving, "The falling from the sky, the thrill of plummeting toward earth with the surety that it will be amazing and end with a laugh. The idea that all of us can be together, in the same moment, with none of us knowing how it will come out, creates shared experiences." Born from the one of a kind Bovine House Team system, these fresh and eager house teams will be creating entirely new material in the moment. This is certainly an impressive feat for theatre, but its a level of creativity that Bovine House Teams are known to meet and exceed. The Bovine House Team system encourages all members of the Bovine Metropolis Theater community to take an active role in deciding the success and creation of teams, ensuring top quality performances in every show.

Here we go again. This thread is for training related posts. There is a separate thread for the actual trip details. So lets hear it, need some inspirational training stories to get me motivated.Oct 6, 2013 at 6:22 pm #2031355
Cool Greg.
I'll use the format I used last time:
Day of week- miles (R)oad or (T)rail or (B)ackpacking with a weekly total.
M- 3T / T- rest / W- 5R ….etc.
It's still a long way out, but the logs did help me get motivated last time around, so I'll start posting at the end of this coming week.Oct 7, 2013 at 6:16 am #2031453
it helps me as well, both as motivation and as a learning tool- the last training thread I learned a ton!Oct 7, 2013 at 8:56 am #2031488
Perhaps not the the sort of inspiration you were looking for Greg, but if can't help but share this. So I figure ill kickstart this thread with a dose of humorous and vile reality.
So last week on a short recovery run post Mt Taylor 50K, I was quickly rounding a blind corner on the trail blocked by a large outcrop of boulders. Feeling surprisingly spry I quickly made the turn with my attention on a particularly rocky bit of footing. To my surprise I look up trail at a junction to find two heavy set individuals going at it on top of a flat boulder like they were in a casting scene for 'Wild Mating Beasts of the Serengeti'.
I wasn't able to immediately process what I was witnessing and once it clicked I halted my pace to a dead stop like Wile E Coyote, digging my heels into the trail. The only thing I thought to say was "Seriously!?", with my hands raised up in disgust at the couple. Understand, this was at 12 high noon with the sun overhead on a quick run on my lunch break. Quite possibly tje last thing I expected to see. The ritual took place right alongside the trail , a mere 4ft from where I needed to pass.
Without breaking his "stride" the dude shrugged his shoulder at me in slight embarrassment and says "come on by man, you can pass, don't mind me none!"
I turned around in a state of confusion and ended my run right there. Afterwards, having some time to collect my thoughts I wasn't sure whether I should have congratulated the guy or responded the way I had.
A first for me on a run and one for the books. This morning on a run with my friend out on the same trail we passed the flat rock where the act occurred and I jokingly nudged him and said," Hey Pete, stay away from that rock right there."
Happy running.Oct 7, 2013 at 9:40 am #2031495

Good idea for winter stoke for sure.
Not sure I'll have any reports with heavyset mating in them. At least I hope not. I thought you were going to say he invited you in! Ick.
But the sun is shining in the PNW right now, so the wife and I are headed out for a few miles around a local lake with nice single track. Last week I think I got in about 10 miles, this week hoping for a few more.Oct 8, 2013 at 6:14 am #2031777
blonde super models as well in Montana :)Oct 8, 2013 at 9:19 am #2031846
Super models?
Time to relocate.Oct 13, 2013 at 11:42 am #2033707
I took it relatively easy this week as I found my legs were pretty fatigued from Sunday's race. Yesterday's run was not so easy however, 16 miles (8 in and 8 out) to the Sleeping Giant- no trail and roughly 5700' of elevation gain (much of the tiptoe variety!)- took us over 5 hours to complete!
week looked like this: strength/3 miles trails/off/6 miles trails/strength/16 miles trails/7 miles trails 32 miles total

Looks like a cool spot Mike. I assume the second picture is of the giants "face"?
I clearly have some work to do. My week was 3/off/3/off/hike/off/3. For a grand total of 9 miles. But my brother is up from Chile with my 14 month old niece, so it has been fun to hang out with her. She is a hoot, and loves riding in the carrier for hikes. We took her on her first backpacking trip a few weeks ago, she digs it.Oct 13, 2013 at 5:57 pm #2033827
yup that's from the backside looking at his faceOct 18, 2013 at 5:51 am #2035221
I'm going to pull back my running a little- going to shoot for 25-30 miles/week vs 35-40+/week; I'll probably cut back to 4 days of running vs 5 as well
anyone have any thoughts on a what I anticipate as a couple of month pullback? I've been pushing it pretty good for the last 5-6 months and thought I might benefit from a little pullback???????
thoughts?Oct 18, 2013 at 7:54 am #2035234
sounds like a smart idea Mike.
some down time can be very rejuvenating.
your plan is not even that much of a pullback compared to your normal training, so I would not be concerned about losing much.
(talk about down time, I have run 3 miles in the last 3 weeks, of course I'm putting in 16 hours a week house remodeling, so not exactly resting. great upper body cross training though).Oct 18, 2013 at 12:52 pm #2035336
DougBPL Member
Assume no one is interested! :-)Oct 19, 2013 at 9:50 am #2035536
You'll be fine Mike.
I'm reading a training book right now that highly stresses the value of recovery and the fact that most more regular runners don't get enough of it.
Throw in some cross training cardio and stay off your legs a little while.
Still paddling more miles than I run.
Broke a toe in the rocks surfing the Channel Islands last weekend so running is out for a little bit again.
I'm going to try something different this time around though:
3 runs/week max, with an emphasis on quality over quantity.Oct 19, 2013 at 10:14 am #2035540
Doug- sent you a pm on the socks :)
Craig- ouch! what book are you reading on training? I think quality over quantity is the right track.
MikeOct 19, 2013 at 10:33 am #2035547
I'm not suggesting you're overtraining, Mike, but here's two recent articles from iRunfar that touch on the subject.
I still need to finish reading Part 1.Oct 19, 2013 at 10:45 am #2035550
Eugene- thanks I'll read up on those. I don't think I'm really over training either, just that I might possibly benefit from a pullback for awhile, but then again maybe not :)
MikeOct 19, 2013 at 11:41 am #2035559
Often the benefits to cutting back a percentage of volume are not even physical, rather more quality time at home, catching up on projects and loose ends, relationship with the spouse and kids, etc.
I'm currently enjoying a brief period of downtime from running. I'm supposed to run a few sections of course this weekend for a fatass 50K we're putting on late November, but an outdoor dining table project for my momma is in order.Oct 19, 2013 at 4:53 pm #2035614
Mike, I'm reading Run Less, Run Faster by Bill Pierce, Scott Murr, and Ray Moss.
The general premise is quality over quantity and adding intensity. Their programs build off of the idea of 3/2 workouts: 3 runs and 2 cross training sessions/week. One run is typically track intervals and repeats, one run is a short to medium but faster tempo, and one is long…but even on the long runs they favor adding a bit of intensity over mileage. The cross training workouts are supposed to be cardio based and fairly intense as well; primarily swimming and cycling. Something to keep your heart and lungs working, mix things up a bit and avoid burnout, and give the running muscles a rest.
I'm a notorious junk mile runner. I love running to be in the woods, don't get me wrong, but as for developing as a runner I've been on a plateau for a very long time. Their program makes sense to me, so we'll see.Oct 19, 2013 at 6:58 pm #2035635

And I have a problem. I keep trying to take a rest day but I keep finding myself working out anyway. I am starting to find running is like crack. The good news is that after several years of hating running I am actually starting to really like it as a stress relief.
I am a firm believer, and now huge violator, of quality over quantity. I continue to believe that weekly base miles alone are not of good judge of training success. I believe focusing on a single long run then one quality mid week training objective combined with cross training to be far superior. I hope to shift to this strategy in a couple of weeks. It has worked the last three years to get my lazy self in shape for various events.Oct 20, 2013 at 7:35 am #2035690
over training is relative to ones base, but I'd say Mike's 40 mi/ week is not over training.
even "most" high end trail runners have a significant down period once a year. and its as much for the mind as it is for the body.
Mike – you could even drop to 15 miles and 3 days a week and it would be fine, as long as you didn't stay there too long.
as far as training –
I find 4 days a week to be best in early season, then 5 days a week is preferred once I get into mid season training, with 2-3 weeks of 6 days as I try and peak for the main event of the year.
and of course "Quality" – but exactly what is that ??
we all feel sometimes we are running just to add on some miles to our tally.
so what is everyone's definition of Quality Miles ?
a good mix of runs during the week works for me :
1 long run, easy intensity (5+ hours)
2 intermediate length runs, intermediate intensity (2-2.5 hours each)
1-3 shorter high intensity runs (45-60 minutes each)
the high intensity short runs are often hill work.
(in mid season I will sometimes reverse the intensity level between the intermediate and short runs just for a change of pace).
I refer to hours rather than miles because terraine affects pace so much.
I am a big believer in trying to train on the type of terraine your target event will be on.Oct 20, 2013 at 1:06 pm #2035744
good info everyone! :)
finished up the week w/ 24 miles
strength/5.5/0/3.5/strength/9/6- where I'm running I'm getting good hill work thrown in consistently, my 9 mile run had ~2700' of gain, even my 3.5 mile run had ~800'
I'll shoot for a long run in the mid-teens for next weekend and continue to keep my midweek runs on the shorter sideOct 27, 2013 at 4:11 pm #2038417
only ran three times this week, but had some quality runs and ended the week w/ 24 miles and ~ 6100' of elevation
strength/7.5/5.5/0/strength/0/11.5Oct 27, 2013 at 4:18 pm #2038423
Surfed 6 days for a total of almost 12 hours this week.
Ran 5K trail on Monday.
Strength training twice.
Out the door before it's too dark for an easy 6 mile trail run with my son right now (he rides his MTB while I run).
Trying to get the running habit going again…slowly.
Starting to get psyched about running, I've been daydreaming about a few big new loops in the local mountains.

A tile backsplash combined with a new range hood can quickly and dramatically transform a dull kitchen. Learn how to install both in a weekend, along with a custom, over-the-oven shelf for spices and seasonings.
You don't have to do a complete remodel of your kitchen to add new life to it. The two projects in this article—a tile backsplash and a new range hood—can quickly and dramatically transform a dull kitchen. In most cases, you can complete the tile job in a weekend, but ours took about three days because of the added shelf above the range. And here's a home improvement project that doesn't take a lot of skill—you just need patience and attention to detail.
The chimney-style hood we installed creates a stylish "chef" look in a kitchen. New, pro-level gas ranges require more ventilation, so if you're in the market for one, this is your opportunity to upgrade your range hood too. We don't get into hood installation details in this story, but whatever hood you choose will come with step-by-step instructions.
We chose a classic 3 x 6-in. New York subway-style tile with patterned stone trim pieces that matched our countertop color. The shelf above the range is perfect for setting seasoning containers on while you're cooking. This design feature should only be used for a range that has a panel backsplash or heat deflector built into it.
To have as much space as possible for our tile design, we chose new countertops that didn't have the typical built-in backsplash. But you could also tile above such backsplashes with equally great results.
The only special tools you'll need are a notched trowel, a margin trowel for mixing, a tile saw to cut tile around electrical boxes and at corners, and a level to draw layout lines.
Shut off the power to the range hood, disconnect the electrical and vent connections, and remove the mounting screws for the old hood. Slide it out carefully to prevent damaging the side cabinets.
Remove the screws to the adjoining cabinets and those in the back of the over-range wall cabinet. Have a helper hold the other side to keep the cabinet from falling.
Remove vent sections if necessary, then slide the cabinet free of the vent and set it aside.
Follow the photo sequence to see how to remove the old vent and cabinet.
Wash the walls of the backsplash with a non-sudsing cleaner like Soilax or TSP and thoroughly rinse with clear water to remove any residue. In most cases, after washing you can sand the wall with 100-grit sandpaper to slightly roughen the surface of the paint. If you live in a house built before 1978, the paint may contain lead. Instead of sanding, use a paint deglosser to remove the shine and improve adhesion. Paint deglossers are available at paint stores.
Before you tile, protect the surface of the countertops, because the thin-set mortar and the backside of the tiles are abrasive. We bought ordinary kraft paper (Photo 4) and taped it to the countertops. Keep the tape about 3/16 in. away from the wall so you'll be able to remove it easily at the end of the job.
Lay out a section of the countertop design with the tile spacers. Take accurate measurements of sections of the tile to determine the best starting and ending points. You may have to shift your design from side to side or up and down a bit to avoid unsightly small pieces at the ends.
Draw layout lines on the backsplash as a guide. Screw a temporary wall cleat in the range opening even with the countertop to support the tile. Cover the countertops with kraft paper to protect them from the abrasive mortar.
The tile you choose and the dimensions of your backsplash area will dictate your layout. Here are a few suggestions to get your layout to work:
Mix about 1 to 1-1/2 quarts of thin-set mortar to a toothpaste consistency. Don't mix more than you can use in about 30 minutes of working time.
We chose thin-set mortar rather than a mastic adhesive because thin-set is heat resistant and forms an excellent bond. It's very easy to mix: Just add water and an acrylic-bonding agent in equal amounts to the powder until you get a smooth mix the consistency of toothpaste. The bonding agent improves the durability and flexibility of the mortar. Get it from your tile supplier. When the mixture is free of lumps, let it stand for about 10 minutes to allow the chemical reaction to take place. Spread the mortar onto the wall with your notched trowel. We chose a 1/4-in. notched trowel for our tile. Ask your tile supplier what will work best for the tile you chose. In addition to a full-size trowel, I like to use a smaller version for backsplashes because it's easier for me to handle in tight spaces.
Draw a level line on the wall for your first course and use thinner spacers (about 1/16 in.) near the countertop. Check the tops of the first row with a level to be sure they're even. Trowel the thin-set mortar onto the wall as you go—don't get far ahead of yourself or it will dry out.
Check the tops of the tile every few courses to make sure you're on track. If you need an adjustment, shim up your spacers slightly. Don't try to make radical adjustments on one course. Incremental fixes won't be noticeable once you've grouted everything.
Following your layout lines, start pushing your tile into the mortar one piece at a time as shown in Photo 7. Don't spread too much mortar onto the wall and get ahead of yourself. The mortar will start to dry and reduce the adhesion. Generally it's best to spread the adhesive for only about 10 pieces of tile until you get the hang of it and can increase your speed. If the mortar skins over and dries, scrape it off and apply fresh mortar.
If you're setting bisque tile, give each tile a quick dunk in a pail of water before setting it into the mortar. Bisque tile (usually a terra cotta color on the backside) is highly porous and will pull too much water out of the mortar, causing it to dry too quickly and form a weak bond. If you're using porcelain or stone tile, just press it into the mortar without dunking.
To keep the caulk joint small (about 1/16 in.), use thin tile shims at the countertop seam with the first course. I used pieces of thin cardboard cut from the back of a tablet, but thin shims are available from your tile supplier. Be fussy with the first row of tile. Check the tops with your level to make sure the tiles are perfectly aligned.
Insert the tile spacers as you go (Photo 8) to keep the tiles from sagging into each other, and don't worry about small globs of mortar oozing between the tiles. You can always go back a few hours later and knock them loose with a putty knife or chisel. Continue spreading mortar, cutting the end pieces and adding courses.
Trapped cutouts, like this electrical box contained within a single tile, require multiple cuts every 1/2 in. across the tile.
Break the tile strips away using a tile nipper. Try not to remove too much at a time or you could break the piece at the wrong spot.
Remove the temporary tile support and set two rows of tile below the top of the range. To keep these tiles from slipping, tape them to the others above that have already set. (See below for information about building the integral shelf in the photo.)
Shut the power off to your backsplash receptacles and unscrew and pull out the devices so they won't get in your way as you measure and cut around them. There's no real trick here other than measuring and marking the tile so it's even with the edges of the box. First mark the cutout on your tile with a fine-tip permanent marker so the lines won't wash away on the wet saw (Photo 9). When cutting pieces to fit into the corners, ease the sharp edges of the cuts with a tile stone (available at your tile supplier).
Note: In most cases, your tile and mortar will protrude past the electrical boxes 1/4 in. or more, so you'll need to add box extenders to each receptacle and switch box once the tiling and grouting are complete. Both metal and plastic box extenders are available at home centers. I prefer the plastic type because it's easier to trim to fit.
When the mortar has set overnight, remove the spacers and scrape out any oozing mortar. Vacuum the tile and grout spaces to remove any hidden clumps of mortar. Mix the grout and push it into the spaces between the tiles with a grout float.
Wipe and clean each section as you go with clean water from a bucket. Wring the sponge out well so you're not adding excess water to the grout. Once the grout has set, go over the entire surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove any haze.
Once the mortar has set overnight, remove the spacers and go back with a putty or utility knife and clean the clumps of oozing mortar from the tile and spaces between. Also clean out the excess mortar under the first course of tile at the countertops to leave space for caulk. Once the backsplash is cleaned off, thoroughly vacuum the entire shelf and countertop before grouting. If you fail to get all the excess mortar scraped away, the grout will be discolored at those spots.
Mixing grout is similar to mixing thin-set mortar. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Some types of grout need an acrylic additive; others don't. Mix just what you can apply in about 20 minutes so it doesn't dry out. Usually about a quart of grout (mixed) works best. Acrylic additives shouldn't be used with some natural-stone tile to avoid staining the stone, so check with your tile supplier.
Push the grout into the spaces between the tiles with a grout float. Hold the float at a 45-degree angle to the tile and push firmly across the tile surfaces. For stubborn, hard-to-get- at spots in corners, you may need to push it in with your fingers. Use the float to wipe away any excess grout and then scrape it back into your bucket. Divide the project into manageable chunks. You don't need to grout the whole project at one time.
After about 15 minutes or so, you should start sponging the tile surface to remove the grout. I like to use two 5-gallon buckets of water and wring out the sponge in one of the buckets and have a relatively clean water rinse in the other bucket. Be sure to wring out the sponge well so you won't add a lot of water to the grout as it sets. Too much water will weaken the grout mixture. Wipe the surface at least three times and check for haze once it dries. With shiny glazed tiles, you can always go back and wipe the haze off with a clean cotton cloth once the grout is set, but stone or porous tile must be wiped clean before the grout sets.
Note: If you choose stone or tile with a dull finish, you may need to seal it before grouting. This keeps the grout from being absorbed into the tile and forming a stubborn haze.
Tip: Never pour excess mortar or grout down your drain. You'll have a huge plumbing bill and a lot of headaches if it hardens down there. Just throw the excess mortar into the trash and clean the bucket with a stiff brush. For your rinse buckets, let the grout or mortar settle to the bottom, pour off the water at the top and scoop the thick waste at the bottom into the trash.
Remove the kraft paper from the countertops and use a putty knife to clean the excess grout from the countertop/backsplash joint. Vacuum thoroughly and then apply siliconized latex caulk. Wipe the joint with your finger and then follow with a damp cotton rag for a slim profile joint.
Once the grout has set for a couple of hours, remove the protective paper and tape from the countertops. Clean the countertop seam with a knife and then vacuum the bits of dried grout. Caulk the seam with a siliconized latex caulk and wipe the excess away with a clean cloth to get a small profile joint. You may need to wipe several times with a damp cloth to get the desired effect.
Install your new range hood following the manufacturer's instructions.
Follow the instructions that come with your new range hood. You may need special ducting reducers or enlargers to adapt the hood to your ducting. Be sure to anchor it firmly to the wall with wall anchors and follow the wiring diagrams. Most chimney-style hoods have a sleeve at the top that is adjustable to a variety of heights. We installed our hood (Photo 15) so the bottom is 29 in. above the cooktop.
Glue and screw the lower shelf to the apron with 1-5/8 in. screws. Use a pilot and countersink combination bit to predrill the holes.
Fold fiberglass mesh over the front of the shelf and apply thin-set mortar to the bottom of the shelf. Set the tile.
Center the shelf assembly in the range opening and mark the center of the shelf even with the center of the patterned trim tile.
Cut out the drywall along your traced outline using a new blade in your utility knife, making several passes.
Slip a board behind the drywall at the corners for extra backing support, then glue and screw it in place.
Screw the shelf apron to the studs. Clamp a 1/4-in. piece of plywood onto the bottom of the shelf to support the trim tiles.
Cut your mitered trim pieces at a 45-degree angle at the corners for a finished look. We used a square to feed the tile into the saw.
Butter the backs of the tiles with your notched trowel. Then set the tile on the top of the shelf once the trim nosing has set.
We made our shelf above the stove by applying tile to 1/2-in. plywood. We chose the length so it would fit nicely above the stove once the wall was tiled on both sides. The apron section of the shelf replaces the drywall underneath and is screwed directly to the studs and at the corners as shown in Photo 6. To make the bottom of the shelf easier to tile, tile it first, let the mortar set overnight and install the shelf the next day. If you choose narrower or wider shelf trim, you may need to change the thickness of the plywood.
This shelf is designed for ranges with a heat deflector backsplash, so plan your shelf to be at least 12 in. above the countertop and limit it to just a 3-in. projection to keep it from trapping excess heat coming off the range. This design will accommodate most freestanding ranges.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Margin trowel
Tiling sponge

The book I love most is ... Ulysses by James Joyce. Firstly because it is hilarious, wild, ungovernable and because it is endlessly enthralling. You could read it forever and it would continue to reveal itself, it has the infinity of great work.
The book I'm reading right now is ... Hugh Trevor-Roper: The Biography by Adam Sisman. I read Trevor-Roper's book, The Last Days of Hitler, and found the writing terrific, so I wanted to know more. It is a beautifully written biography.
The book I'd like to read next is ... Religion, the Reformation and Social Change, and Other Essays by Trevor-Roper. I want to know more about the idea that Calvin began the rise of the individual and capitalism.
My favourite bookshops are ... second-hand bookshops. That's where I have found my most treasured books.
The book that changed me is ... Man and His Symbols, conceived and edited by Carl G. Jung. This book makes the mysterious accessible and provides insight and consolation.
The book I wish I'd never read is ... I haven't read it yet.

Do you need to know programming to hack?
You can be a fairly good pen tester now without knowing any programming. In fact, the most famous hacker of all time, Kevin Mitnick didn't know programming. If you understand all the tools and know them well, you can do some effective hacking. I am sure that's good news to all the script kiddies out there.
My honest feeling is you should learn some programming. At least the basics. It will give you a deeper understanding of what's going on. Yes it's true we don't always breach a system by running an exploit. Sometimes things are just wide open and not configured correctly. Even to this day, Admins use weak passwords.
If you have never leaned programming I would suggest starting with HTML. Its very easy and you will get results quickly. Actually its fun. Also, it will help you learn to read the source code on a website.
From there I would say to go into C. C programming is the mother of it all. Most exploits were written in C. Also many hacking tools were also written in C and once you know it, you can make changes to the code to facilitate a tool to do something a little different for you. Come up with an idea of a program and then write it. My very first program was a simple code to ping all the IPs in a network. Easy to write and I suggest that one if you are stumped.
Don't settle for being a point and click hacker. Don't run blind. If you take the time to understand even just the basics of programming, an entire new world will open up for you

Gillian & Tom
March 9
Charleston, South Carolina
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Historic charm – we both have southern roots with grandparents from the south. Unfortunately, they weren't able to attend the wedding. Having our wedding at a historic southern venue was somewhat of a way to honor our heritage and to embrace our appreciation for history.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
- The garden ceremony setting – it was a special sunny day. A fountain with peaceful running water served as our "altar" and our guests had a great view of the house at our historic venue.
- Bow ties for the groom and groomsmen– fun Charleston tradition and style.
- Chandeliers hung in our tent for the reception – they were a small detail that really added romance and charm.
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Don't leave the details for the last minute. We were so happy to have all of our planning done in advance so that the week before the wedding we really weren't stressed at all. We had time to spend and enjoy with family in the last few days leading up to the wedding.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Seeing each other for the first time at the ceremony. We didn't do first look photos and it made it so much more exciting to see each other at that big moment. We couldn't stop smiling!

There is a supermarket, plus several restaurants and bars within a 3-minute walk. Sao Bento is less than 10 minutes walking distance from Cais do Sodré Train Station.
If you walk 5 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center.
At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops. Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon's hippest and coolest places.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 10 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Five minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to see.
The Luís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not (email hidden). Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

A great view over the city. Tastefully designed flat. At arrival, we even discovered in the fridge a great surprise: the Portuguese specialty, the pastry "pasteis de nata". Delicious. We enjoyed a lot our stay. Great commodities.
We had a great stay in Lisbon. We were with 3 adults and 1 baby and the apartment was wonderful. It was clean and has 2 large enough bedrooms. The Metro station Saldanha is on walking distance, 10 minutes.
This was a fine apartment - fully equipped, lovely view, very clean, nice bedding and a good reflection of the photos. The apartment is at the top floor of a building and no lift so not suitable for people with mobility challenges. The walk to the metro is about 10 minutes which was fine as it meant one saw the residential areas but if one wants to be very close to the city they may want to consider a closer apartment. I feel overall it was a lovely place, good value for money and the people managing the apartment very friendly and supportive.
nice flat
nice people for welcoming us
nice furbished
just one point that was not an inconvenience for us but could be for others, the machinery of the the lift make some noise at night.
to recommend
Great apartment iff your staying with friends! It has a nice terace with a beautifull view! In our opinion it's the best what you can get for this price!
Thnax for your hospitality!
Apartment in a great area and dealt with a very helpful and friendly Antonio. The room is a bedsit so just room with bathroom, perfect for one person, but can accommodate two on the pull out bed. Being on the ground floor there was a bit of noise from the street, but the plus was that it was right next to Tram 28 stops, ten minute walk from Barro Alto and there are a lot of small very local bars near by that are very much worth trying for a real local feel. Happy with our stay.
Everything perfect!
This apartment was very compact and yet it had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable and in an ideal location. Our host was very helpful and accommodating and graciously answered all of our many questions. Thank you.
Our host was awesome, he met us at the agreed time , the apartment was as described/ photographed. I would highly recommend a Stay as all issues we had were addressed promptly and without delay . Thanks for making our vacation memorable, see you again soon in the near future.
Very friendly, good accomadation - best result!

In 1972, Congress passed two important laws that helped expand job opportunities to black workers. Called affirmative action laws, they required governments and public institutions to hire more minorities, including black and female workers, because of past discrimination against these minorities as a group. Since the laws were passed, there has been a huge increase in the number of minorities in all areas of employment. Nearly 20 years later, supporters believe affirmative action is still needed to make sure all people have the same access to jobs and other opportunities. Others say that affirmative action laws are no longer necessary because of equality that has already been achieved nationwide.

does anyone know the real truth about tire replacement? i get contradictory responses all over the place. subaru.com says replace all four at once(and they have to all be the same). The dealership near me says 2 at once is okay, as long as as they're on the same axl. the dealership also said as long as the front 2 are the same they can be different brands as the rear (as long as they're all the same size.)
anyone have any advice?

14 Fit Facts Found in Health and Fitness
Waist circumference is a quick and easy way to measure the amount of fat in your abdominal area. Research suggests that if you store excess fat around your mid-section, you have a higher disease risk than someone with most of their fat in the hips, buttocks, and thighs.
About 35% of adults in the United States have metabolic syndrome, a serious medical condition that raises your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. A person with metabolic syndrome is twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke and 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than someone without it!
Heart attacks are a leading cause of death and disability for men and women. In fact, every 34 seconds someone in the United States has one! Knowing your risk is the first step in making sure that you won't be a statistic. The Framingham risk score, a simple risk calculator, is a great place to start.
If you have type 2 diabetes, there is too much glucose (or sugar) in your blood. The extra sugar makes it hard for your heart, blood vessels, and other parts of the body to work effectively. As a result, you have a much higher risk for heart attack, stroke, leg amputation, kidney failure, and blindness .
Major depression is a common but serious medical condition that affects people of every age, race, ethnicity, and income level. The exact cause is unknown, but it is most likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Stress is a natural part of our daily lives. Good stress can motivate us to do well on a test or finish a race. Negative stress is what we experience when we are stuck in traffic, under pressure at work, or dealing with a troubled relationship.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in the blood. A certain amount of cholesterol is necessary for good health, but some people have too much. As your cholesterol increases, so does your risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other health problems.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a convenient way to estimate how much fat is on your body. Knowing your BMI can help determine your risk for dangerous health conditions that are associated with increased body fat.
The blood sugar level and hemoglobin A1C are two common blood tests that screen for prediabetes and diabetes. These tests are also helpful in the regular monitoring of a person with diabetes.
Blood pressure (BP) is a quick and easy way to measure the health of your heart. This measurement reflects the strength of your heartbeat and the amount of pressure inside the arteries as blood flows throughout the body.
Does snoring keep you (or your partner) from getting quality, restful sleep? Read on to learn more about snoring and what you can do to get your zzzzzs back.
Chances are you already know that smoking is the number one cause of preventable death worldwide. You know that the 7,000+ chemicals in cigarette smoke are seriously harming you and those around you. What you don't know is how you can quit smoking for good. Here are some basic steps for successfully becoming a non-smoker.
Do you feel like you will never get a good night's sleep….ever again? You are not alone. In fact, insomnia is the most common sleep complaint and is one of the top reasons that Americans visit a health care provider. Insomnia consists of trouble falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or feeling unrefreshed despite getting enough rest.
One simple way to measure the health of your heart is by checking your blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is when your blood pressure measures 140/90 or greater on two or more occasions. High blood pressure is your heart's way of telling you that it is working harder than it should.

Reviews of this property
We had a nice stay at the apartment. Easy access to downtown Copenhagen, calm and peaceful atmosphere and a cosy bed. Perfect!
This house/apartment was very nice and convenient to all the trains for traveling into the city of Copenhagen. A very large first floor apartment with all the things you would need to make you feel comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen with every dish and pan you would need. Very large living room and very comfortable chairs and sofa. The bedroom was very adequate with plenty of warm blankets. Just be prepared for a small bathroom but everything worked perfectly. Loved the stay and would rent again.
In Dorthe's apartment there are a big and beautiful living rom, a cozy bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is a bit small but it's fine for us. The apartment is well separated with other residents in the same house. It is easy to access city center by train (3 stops from the main train station). Dorthe is friendly and easygoing. Thanks a lot for nice stay in Copenhagen.
The apartment is very nice, in a really good location near the station only one stop to Copenhagen center station.
Everything just perfect. Thanks Dorthe!
Dear Dorthe,
thank you so much for your hospitality. We had a great time in Kopenhagen - and your apartment is a wonderful place to stay and to relax. Everything is cosy and comfortable and we also enjoyed the nice garden. The ocation is very agreable to and favourable for all kind of sightseeing and excursion. And last but not least: you are a very pleasant and reliable host too! Once more: Thanks a lot and all the best for you. And perhaps we will come back one day to wonderful Kopenhaven and - to you and your house. Take care and all the best from Peter & Cornelis
We had a great weekend at Dorthes appartment. It was very clean and cosy and Dorthe was very friendly!
Our 1,5 year old son also had a great time, because Dorthe had a lot's of toys and books:)
About the shower: it works well, but it's mounted a bit unhandy above the toilet.
But nevertheless we had a great time in a very quiet neighbourhood.
Thanks Dorthe!
Cosy atmosphere, clean, good parking, very friendly hostess, very fast connection to the city. Very recommendable.
We would definitely come back.
Gemütliches Ambiente, sauber, gute Parkmöglichkeiten, sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, sehr schnelle Anbindung zur Innenstadt. Sehr weiter zu empfehlen.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.
The apartment is equipped with everything it needs. We sleep very well and it is a quiet neighborhood. (Except when the window is open, you can hear the train.) The apartment is very centrally located and easily accessible by train and on foot in about 20 minutes.. Dorthe told us a lot of information concerning Copenhagen and reachable from the airport with. It is an established and friendly person.
The bathroom is the only really small and at the same time shower. Nevertheless, we can view the property in any case highly recommend because the positives totally outweigh! We will definitely go again!
Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was es braucht. Man schläft sehr gut und es ist eine ruhige Umgebung. (Ausser wenn das Fenster offen ist, hört man den Zug.) Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral gelegen und gut mit der Bahn und zu Fuss in ca. 20 Min. erreichbar. Dorthe teilte uns viele Infos betreffend Kopenhagen und Erreichbarkeit vom Flughafen mit. Sie ist eine aufgestellte und freundliche Person.
Das Badezimmer ist als einziges wirklich sehr klein und zugleich auch Dusche. Trotzdem können wir die Wohnung jedenfalls nur wärmstens empfehlen, da das Positive total überwiegt! Wir werden ganz bestimmt wieder einmal hingehen!
The apartment was furnished as described and everything was in working order and clean. The Duschklo is not for people who need a large comfortable bathroom, but this is specially mentioned functional and also in the display. The location is good, it is served by public transport in 10 minutes in the city center and in about 20/25 minutes at the airport.
Dorthe is a super nice hostess. Even the fridge was filled with beer and wine. Their nice nurse we met. We felt well cared for.
Das Apartment war wie beschrieben eingerichtet und alles war funktionstüchtig und sauber. Das Duschklo ist nichts für Personen die ein großes komfortables Badezimmer benötigen, aber funktional und auch in der Anzeige wird dies extra erwähnt. Die Lage ist gut, man ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln in 10 Minuten in der Innenstadt und in ca. 20/25 Minuten am Flughafen.
Dorthe ist eine super nette Gastgeberin. Sogar der Kühlschrank war schon mit Bier und Wein gefüllt. Auch ihre nette Schwester haben wir kennen gelernt. Wir fühlten uns dort gut aufgehoben.

Bingham Co. Commissioners Clarify Relationship With BMH
Hospital Board Responsible For Handling Questions And Concerns
BINGHAM COUNTY, Idaho - Bingham County Commissioners are clearing up what they call "misunderstanding and misinformation" when it comes to the county's relationship with Bingham Memorial Hospital.
At an open meeting Tuesday afternoon, commissioner Cleone Jolley presented a statement describing the county as a landlord and Bingham Memorial a tenant.
There have been some accusations recently, from an employee who said she was told to get rid of drugs so the hospital could pass an audit, to a former manager allegedly running a scheme to profit from the hospital's time and money.
Tuesday's statement means commissioners will make sure terms of the 2007 lease are being met, but it's still up to the hospital board to deal with questions and concerns that have been raised.
Local people filled the Bingham County Commissioners' chambers for the short and sweet meeting.
"This is an open meeting, not a public hearing," Jolley said. "We will not be taking questions or allowing people to make comments."
Commissioner Chairman Jolley continued to read a two-page, single-spaced statement. He said in 2007, Bingham County transferred operations of what had been the county hospital over to BMH, Inc., which is a private, 501 (c) 3 non-profit.
Jolley said the county owns the building and land, but has no authority when it comes to business operations.
"If people have information, questions or concerns about the business operations or day-to-day operations of the hospital, those should be directed to the hospital's board of directors," Jolley said.
Jolley said commissioners will engage in a dialogue with Bingham Memorial to investigate concerns that would violate the 2007 lease agreement.
Everything else, he said, is up to the hospital's board of directors. County Prosecutor Scott Andrew gave them a vote of confidence.
"I have no reason to believe the hospital board isn't capable of addressing concerns that have been raised," said Andrew.
"Is it a conflict of interest, though, if some of them are leasing buildings to the hospital and making a large amount of money?" asked reporter Marissa Bodnar. "I mean, is that a concern?"
"Well, plenty of people have voiced that concern," said Andrew.
According to 990 tax forms from 2009, board members Gordon Arave and John Fullmer each profited from a $187,740 transaction by leasing physician office space to Bingham Memorial through their joint company, Crestwood Enterprises.
In 2010, according to tax forms, that number was $101,570.
Andrew said if it were a county hospital, that would be illegal. But it's a nonprofit.
"I haven't heard anything at this point that would make that criminal," said Andrew. "When you say, 'Hospital board members are making money leasing property,' does it have a stink factor? It probably does initially. But like everything, you've got to look beyond that."
Our station reached out to several board members and the hospital with a couple of questions.
First, when does the board plan to answer commissioners' request for a forensic audit?
Second, while the prosecutor said it's not illegal, why should the public trust that board members will fully investigate concerns when some are profiting off of building leases?
The only board member we were able to reach was John Fullmer, who referred us to hospital attorneys.
A Bingham Memorial spokesperson responded with a statement Tuesday night saying: "We are proud of our hospital's growth. We are proud of our physicians and we are proud of our employees. Our current board of directors has diligently worked to guide us in our rapid progress. We fully trust them."
We hit the web to find out what the IRS says about the role of boards in 501 (c) 3 organizations, and found a document on good governance practices: "The organization's governing body bears the ultimate responsibility for setting ethical standards and ensuring they permeate the organization and inform its practices."
"I guess whether people think my trust is misplaced or not, (we've) got to trust them to do the right thing; give them the opportunity to investigate it, to address it," said Andrew. "And judge it once they've done whatever they're going to do."
Andrew said Blackfoot Police are aware of, and investigating, one particular incident alleged to have happened at Bingham Memorial. He didn't say which specific allegation. Andrew said he plans to meet with Chief Dave Moore on Thursday.
The statement from Bingham Memorial also said the hospital seeks constant improvement and welcomes active dialogue with county commissioners.

Quality of life report: Economy, health are struggles in Pikes Peak Region
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The 2013 Quality of Life Indicators (QLI) report was formally released at a press conference Thursday morning.
In its 6th year, the QLI is used to objectively assess the performance of El Paso and Teller counties in 11 key sectors: arts, built environment, community engagement, economy, education, health, natural environment, recreation, social well-being, safety and transportation.
There are five top trends for 2013: economy, community engagement, fire and flood, health and hospital systems, and an aging population.
According to the Milken Institute, Colorado Springs jumped from 99 to 57 out of 200 best performing large cities in 2012 for job creation, economic performance and the high-tech sector. Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach said that curbing unemployment is the city's number one priority.
Local unemployment is higher than the state and national averages. In the last decade, the number of jobs and income levels in the Pikes Peak Region has stagnated.
The most notable success in the QLI is the region's ability to band together as a community. The Waldo Canyon Fire, Black Forest Fire and devastating floods caused an outpouring of community support and generosity.
The Waldo Canyon Fire affected 52,000 people and more than 26,000 buildings, the report found. Fighting the fire cost the city of Colorado Springs about $4 million. The region now faces a 350% increase in debris flow off the burn scar and a decade of heightened flood risk. Ongoing flood mitigation cost $17 million from city reserves and other sources.
Data is not yet available for the Black Forest Fire.
Perhaps the biggest shock in the report was the decline of health in the Pikes Peak region.
"We are getting heavier and less fit faster than the rest of the country," said Dave Munger of the QLI Executive Committee.
More than one in four children and more than half of adults is overweight or obese in El Paso County. Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach praised the city's hospitals, but said more healthcare is needed. In particular, the region lacks primary care physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists. The number of primary care providers in El Paso County is 25% below the state average. Colorado Springs has 37% fewer psychiatrists than the national average.
"We are doing health clinics," Mayor Bach said. "We're going to ratchet that up all around the city."
Suicide rates are also alarmingly high. Rates among adults and adolescents are higher than the state and national averages and are a leading cause of death.
Bach urged elected officials to appoint committees to find out why suicide is such a problem. He said that improving the economy might help.
"When people are out of work I think that stress has to have a real impact on their health," he said.
Another key finding is an aging population. In 2012, 16% of El Paso County residents were aged 60 or older. That number is projected to increase 179% in the next three decades. It's expected to increase around the country, but the problem, according to Munger, is having enough services to support senior citizens.
"We do not have the transit system in place that will help aging folks move around as they need to when they cannot drive their cars," Munger said.
The region also needs more affordable housing, medical and assisted-living facilities, volunteerism and second careers, the report found.
Meanwhile, the region's young worker population (25-44 years old) continues to decline. That category is comprised of 27% of the population, which falls below the critical 30% threshold used by many business site-selection consultants.
Some positive indicators include a high voter turnout: 91% in 2012 versus 78% for the 2008 presidential election.
The veteran homeless population dropped dramatically in 2013 over 2012. This is attributed to additional federal programs such as the Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing program, and Supportive Services for Veteran Families.

American Field Service students home away from home for the holidays
Wauwatosa exchange students adjust to Christmas abroad
Wauwatosa students involved in the foreign exchange program known as American Field Service, or AFS, are with their families for the winter holidays. Not their biological families, but their host families.
Although traditions vary from family to family, they celebrate the holidays in roughly the same manner that any other family would. There is a gift exchange, time spent with relatives and festivities.
Some students are too busy being immersed in an entirely new culture to miss their families.
Maria Pelletta, a French foreign exchange student at East, said that while she loves her family, she's too busy with American culture to miss them.
"I like it here," she said. "There's so much to do here so there's no time to think about home."
The same held true for Elisa Shapson, a Wauwatosa East graduate. While in Germany she was so busy with the culture and customs that she didn't have time to be homesick during the holidays. That's not to say she doesn't love and miss her family. She's looking forward to visiting them from Madison this school break.
Students are discouraged from too-regular contact with their host families for fear of homesickness. Rather than stay inside and talk with their families, students are asked to immerse themselves completely in whatever country they decide to visit.
Cultural differences
Although Maria comes from a westernized country, there are some stark differences in holiday traditions. American music and decorations stuck out most for her.
"Here you have Christmas radio and I've never heard of this in France," she said. "There are a lot of decorations and lights outside and there are not so many in France."
Shapson also noted the music. She said that while they have Christmas songs in German, the music isn't played nearly to the extent that it is here. She added that in her experience, the Germans focused more on traditional aspects of the holidays, such as Advent wreath lighting and leaving shoes outside for Saint Nicholas.
Language barriers were temporary for the two. Maria had a hard time with English for roughly a month. It took Shapson about six months before she fully understood German. Both agree that they learned considerably faster being immersed in a foreign language.
Sometimes, Shapson thinks in German and has to recall the English equivalent to German words.
Matching families
Both Wauwatosa schools participate in the AFS program, a nonprofit entity that works closely with the schools and state departments to pair families with exchange students.
Wauwatosa's AFS branch is always seeking host families. The families must jump through several hoops in order to host a student: They must complete a criminal-background check, have an interview with the AFS branch and everybody, including any children, must be willing to participate in the program. The family must also go through training before they can be matched with a student.
The students coming from other countries must meet certain requirements as well. They must have a solid background in speaking English, a clean background check and must either have graduated high school or be willing to retake a year in some cases.
Several factors are considered when choosing student-family pairs. Allergies, religious practices, backgrounds, hobbies and family involvement are a few examples of the myriad pieces considered when pairing students with families.
Each family is assigned a liaison officer when the match is made. The liaison must meet with the student face-to-face once a month to make sure they're adjusting. If the match isn't working out, the student can be transferred to a different family.
Lasting connections
The Wauwatosa AFS Chapter President, Maripat Monahan, has hosted two students, both hailing from India. She considers them to be family.
"It's about learning about a person from another culture that can engage with you in a friendly environment and literally become a family member and introduce you to their perception of the world they come from," Monahan said.
Maria, who has family in the United States, wanted to come here because she believes the United States is a world leader. She wants to continue her studies in America, eventually studying law and perhaps living in America for the rest of her life.
"I really like the American lifestyle," she said. "I feel like people, when at work, are more relaxed."
Shapson went to UW-Madison after graduating from Wauwatosa East. The entire level of her dorm speaks German, making her quick friends. She is going to be living in a house with those friends next year and wants to go to Germany with them sometime in the future.

Unlawful And Dangerous Operation
Marine Toilet Laws
The Discharge Of Waste
All boats, including houseboats and floating cabins, equipped with a marine toilet must have a waste-water holding system to prevent the discharge of waste products into surrounding waters.
A marine toilet is considered to be any equipment for installation onboard a boat which is designed to receive, retain, treat or discharge sewage and any process to treat such sewage. A "porta-pottie" is not considered to be a marine toilet. The following figure is a typical marine sanitation device:
It is illegal for a boat to pump out sewage from a waste-water holding system or from a portable toilet or marine sanitation device into surrounding waters, except into an approved pump-out facility or into a sewer system located on dry land.
All boats equipped with a marine toilet must be registered with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. You will be issued a Marine Toilet Certificate decal which must be affixed to the hull adjacent to the boats registration number. The one-time certification fee is $5.00. No renewal of the certificate is required and it is transferable to any subsequent owner of the boat.
Boats equipped with a marine toilet:
The Discharge Of Oil And Other Hazardous Substances
It is illegal to discharge oil or hazardous substances. You are not allowed to dump oil into the bilge of the boat without means for proper disposal. You must discharge oil waste to a reception facility. On recreational boats, a bucket or bailer is adequate.
If your boat is 26 feet or longer you must display a 5 x 8 inch placard near the bilge pump switch stating the Federal Water Pollution Control Acts law.
If your boat discharges oil or hazardous substances in the water immediately call the U. S. Coast Guard at 1-800-424-8802. Call the Georgia Environmental Protection Division at 1-800-241-4113 within 24 hrs. of the discharge.

Where I stayed
Cairns. Driving around the coast all you see are beautiful cove beaches and
lush rain forest. This was definitely the place i wanted to be to chill out and
take it easy for a few days.
Port Douglas is full of lots of beautiful hotels and honeymooners...blah. As we
travelled in the bus dropping off people at these various hotels Alice and I
started to salivate at the hotels, knowing that we were heading for a down and
dirty hostel. It was not going to be on a par with any of these lovely hotels.
time than any of these honeymooners!
The Great Barrier Reef. It is one of the natural wonders of the world. You have to see
it, so off i went for a day snorkeling trip to see what it was all about. The box fish jelly fish, although coming to the end of the session are still about so we had to wear lovely stinger suits.
Check out the pic. I was looking hot to trot! The water was lovely, 26 degrees.
Just right to be swimming around and checking out the fish.
I was lucky enough to see a turtle and a big ass groper. Lots of amazing fish of beautiful
colours, coral of neon blue, different shapes of coral – ones that looked like
brains, flat pancakes and noodles. It was awesome to be able to swim on the great barrier reef. The visibility was incredible. Am afraid i was not willing to pay the price for the underwater
cameras so you will just have to take my word for it!
We were in luck with the weather, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining all day
long. Thank god for factor 30 and stinger suit is all I can say!

Compare Telecommunications attorneys near you. Read reviews, see Avvo Ratings, and contact them directly.
Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Telecommunications law applies to companies providing network systems for people to transmit information using analog or digital signals. The telecommunications industry includes telephone, radio, television, computer networks, and Internet service providers. Unlike communications/media laws that regulate content, telecommunications law regulates the technology itself, the physical structures such as satellites, and the nature of the transmissions that are sent. For example, a telecommunications attorney will know if a phone company can put a cell phone tower in your neighborhood. A telecommunications lawyer would also handle matters like rate disputes and transmission limitations for a telecommunications business.

Pulaski Technical College will work to improve students' knowledge about the prevention of birth defects, premature births and infant mortality using a $10,000 community grant from the March of Dimes.
Over the next year, Pulaski Tech's Early Childhood Development program will spearhead an educational outreach program that will include workshops, a series of Lunch n' Learns and other educational activities. Books and educational materials on prenatal care, birth defects and other appropriate topics will be on exhibit in Ottenheimer Library and available to all students, faculty and staff.
"The overall goal of the program is to increase access to and quality of health care for women and infants," said Julie Williams, coordinator of Pulaski Technical College's Early Childhood Development program. "Many of our students are not educated on the best techniques for a successful pregnancy and are not aware of the importance of nutrition, exercise, folic acid and other current information. We want to change that and get them the information they need, so they can provide the best for their children."
Pulaski Tech expects to reach at least 500 women who are at risk due to previous past outcomes, chronic conditions and other risk factors.
Program participants will also learn about and receive assistance in registering for state and local maternal child health programs available to them, including Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, also known as WIC.
The March of Dimes awarded the grant to the PTC Foundation.
"We are pleased to be partnering with the March of Dimes Arkansas Chapter," said Joyce Taylor, executive director of the Pulaski Technical College Foundation. "Pulaski Technical College is well-positioned to reach students who will benefit from this outreach. Ultimately, we want all of our students and their families to be healthy and have access to quality health care."

Jonathan Lee
Both were hugely successful. Maine Won't Discriminate, in its premier effort, thwarted an attempt to pass anti-gay legislation in 1995, and anchored a legitimate brand for future ballot initiatives. Meanwhile, SpeakOut became well-known for its green light policy of letting Mainers talk openly about issues close to the GLBT community in an effort to change the climate of opinion in the state.
Lee, son of business giant and philanthropist Shep Lee, all but disappeared from Maine in 2002 when he decided to move to Brazil to learn Portuguese, and from there, in 2003, to Manhattan to begin work on a project that had already been decades in the making.
But Lee is back, in a big way.
On October 19, Lee will premiere his film Paul Goodman Changed My Life at the crème de la crème of indie film festivals, the Film Forum in New York City. He produced and directed the first-ever documentary about Goodman, the late queer social critic, poet, and philosopher of education. The project took nearly ten years and includes interviews with Goodman's friends, family and peers. The film, says Lee, was inspired when he was a 17-year-old high school student, grappling with Vietnam and the social injustices of the day. While in school, a speaker at a teach-in recommended that he read Goodman's Growing Up Absurd, a book that changed Lee's life.
"The book spoke to me, and opened all sorts of intellectual and political doors for me. I identified with Goodman, and, in some ways, started following him around," says Lee. But the "following around" was figurative as his new intellectual hero was not long for this world. At the age of 62, Goodman died in 1972.
Lee never shook his fascination with Goodman and, in the late '80s, fired off a lengthy letter to well-known social critic Christopher Lasch about the impact Goodman had on his life, and why he should be immortalized in some way. After ten pages of writing, says Lee, the letter looked and felt like a proposal. It was also received as a proposal, and Lasch encouraged Lee to pursue a tome on his hero. After various interactions, serendipitous meetings, and immersing himself in the fine art of documentary film, Lee decided against a book and officially started a film project in 2003.
"Through the project, I learned more and more about Goodman. How he was an out bisexual in '40s, and how he wouldn't shut up about it. He'd be fired from teaching jobs, but would not be repressed," says Lee. "He was so ahead of his time in so many ways. It became very satisfying to me intellectually and emotionally to be meeting these very interesting people, and talking about what was important to Goodman: education, poverty, the environment."

What are you favorite sub movies? I'm a history teacher and my students enjoy sub movies.
My favorites are
1. Crimson Tide
2. K-19 The Widowmaker
3. The Hunt for Red October
Das Boot is a movie that everyone should see at least once, but its pretty bad when it puts BOTH the students and the teacher to sleep!
U-571 is a decent movie. Take out the pretty boy factor of McCounaahough or whatever his name is and Jon Bon Jovi and it is a decent sub movie.

My ironing board is actually a kitchen island that I took from the kitchen! My hubby popped the butcher block top off and I wrapped it in batting and then the silver ironing fabric. Then he screwed it all back together. It measures 37"ht by 44"L and 22"w. I sometimes wish it were a bit wider! I am also 5'7". Having a cutting mat on top would work really nicely too. The table I use to cut on is actually a pub table from a clearance center. It was less than $100 and came without chairs and a few scratches-perfect! Sounds like you are well on your way to a great ironing and cutting station too!

Reviews of this property
Krakow is a charming city full of old buildings where absolutely everything is so close together that you know the way soon. The homely flat in a beautiful old building, is the ideal base from which to explore. Krakow and surroundings Kazimiers is a pleasant lively area, we felt right at home. You really have everything nearby, explore the area on foot and let your guide los ... On weekends there can be some noise from neighboring cozy cafes. Kate is the perfect hostess, helpful, friendly and concerned for the welfare of its guests. An absolute must :-)
Krakau is een sfeervolle stad vol oude gebouwen waar echt alles dicht bij elkaar ligt zodanig dat je er de weg gauw kent. De huiselijke flat in een mooi oud gebouw, is de ideale uitvalsbasis om Krakau en omgeving te verkennen. Kazimiers is een aangenaam levendige buurt, wij voelden ons direct thuis. Je hebt echt alles in de buurt, verken de buurt te voet en laat je reisgids los... In het weekend kan er wel wat lawaai zijn van gezellige naburige cafeetjes. Kate is de ideale gastvrouw, hulpvaardig, vriendelijk en bezorgd om het welzijn van haar gasten. Een absolute aanrader :-)
We had a very good time in the accomodation of Lukas and Katarzyna in Kaziemierz, Krakaw. The apartment was perfect for us, clean and we could use two beds, bathroom, kitchen. It is located very central and close to everything you want to see and do in town. We did it all by walking around. Lukas and Katarzyna are very kind and helpful.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment had everything we needed. The location could not be better, in the centre of Kazimierz and nearby all the touristic places. Lidia was really nice to us and help us as much as she could.
Nice and clean appartement. Kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped. Host is friendly and flexible.
Kazimirez has a special atmosphere, lively and full with history, also in nights. So not recommended people who can only sleep in silence. But who wants in such environment? - Who sleeps a lot, lives less (...levre mindre!) :)
We had a very good time!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Cosy atmosphere near the old market place in Kazimierz. The apartment
was very clean and well maintained. Katarzyna and Lukas were punctually at the meeting point and well organised. Not far away from the apartment one could reach the Wawel, the old City of Kazimierz and it was about a 20 minutes of walk to Krakow City(Rynek). Lukas was very helpful, he drove us to the airport by car. We would like to come back.
5 out of 5 stars due to the friendly and sane host. Clean, neat and functional apartment. Location in great neighborhood. Thanks for the fan in the heat wave, it was lovely!
5 ud af 5 stjerner pga venlig og tilregnelig vært. Ren, pæn og funktionel lejlighed. Beliggenhed i fantastisk kvarter. Tak for ventilator i hedebølgen, det var dejligt!
a nice apartment in the Jewish district of Krakow, Kazimierz. The flat is nice and clean, with a simple kitchen which has all one needs. The bathroom is very nice and has a wahing machine too. Kazimierz is famous for being Jewish area on the one hand and being a party area on the other. Many nice bars and restaurants are in the same street! If you are interested in Jewish history of Europe / Poland, you will find many traces of Jewish life here. Also, only a 20 minute walk will bring you to either Wawel castle or the Main Square (Rynek). We found a Carrefour Express which was open 24 hours a day just a 10 min. walk from the apartment too, very practical.
We really enjoyed our stay here and Katarzyna was very helpful in any way. We would stay here again for sure. Thanks!
Good location. Good standard. Good value for money. One downside was the internet it often did not.
Goede locatie. Prima verzorgd. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Een minpunt was dat het internet het vaak niet deed.
- Quality assured accommodation

Thursday was my last full day and it was beautiful all day. Corinne and I looked into renting a motor bike to explore the island, however in the end we took a water taxi to West Bay to the resort side. The waters were still a bit rough so the water taxi dropped us off in "calmer waters" which were still rough! We walked along the beach passing resort after resort with some restaurants in between. Right near a restaurant called Bananarama we ended up finding an area where we wouldn't get booted off so we laid our sarongs down and fried in the sun
On my last day we went to the local beach. I picked up a sandwich to go from a restauran to have for my flights home. I left for the airport at 12noon. Saying goodbye to Corinne and her mom Leigh. :(
I arrived to the airport, checked in fine. Paid a $40 departure fee, and waited for my flight. I ended up flying from Roatan to the capital, Tegucugalpa which was just as small as Roatan's airport. I had a 2 hour layover and then flew to San Pedro Sula which was back in the middle of the country and then to NY. I arrived in NY at 3am and made it to work at 7am. Thankfully, I stayed at Abby's house which was closer to the both the airport and my job than me driving back to my house. I was actually able to sleep for about 1 1/2 hours before work.

Damian Palin:
Mining minerals from seawater
The world needs clean water, and more and more, we're pulling it from the oceans, desalinating it, and drinking it. But what to do with the salty brine left behind? In this intriguing short talk, TED Fellow Damian Palin proposes an idea: Mine it for other minerals we need, with the help of some collaborative metal-munching bacteria.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
