Norv Turner's Offensive Ingenuity
This epidemic of attaching the word "wild" to a particular formation and then inserting a mascot's name after is getting out of hand. Now that the Bolts have turned the page from the "Wild Frog" days with former TCU Horned Frog LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield, the team has replaced that element with the "Wild Dog" in honor of rookie Ryan Mathews' collegiate stomping grounds with the Fresno State Bulldogs. Mathews is such a dynamic player with the ball in his hands that it only makes sense for Head Coach Norv Turner to look for more opportunities to do just that.
Ronnie Brown of the Miami Dolphins is perhaps the most famous executioner of the "Wildcat" offense ripping off chunks of yardage between the tackles, having the speed to hit the edge, or even dropping back in the pocket and throwing a pass or two on occasion. Even though he was a running quarterback in high school, it remains to be seen whether or not Mathews possesses the arm for the quarterbacking half of the "Wild Dog" formation. His Head Coach Norv Turner believes that Mathews has a solid enough arm to catch some defenses off guard, but it would be crazy to expect many planned throws from the "Wild Dog" formation in the near term.
What this formation could afford to the Bolts is an even more diverse offensive attack with three solid tight ends on their current roster in Antonio Gates, Kris Wilson, and newcomer Randy McMichael. Fans are already well aware of what kind of weapon Gates can be in the Bolts wide open offense, but the team's other two tight ends are no slouches either. Both have proven to be highly productive at the position in years past and the Bolts feel that 2010 could be another repeat of those numbers.
As if the "Wild Dog" idea isn't off the cuff enough for the team's innovative offensive guru/head coach in Turner, he claims to have a new package installed in the team's playbook where all three tight ends are on the field at one time. This heavy personnel look could add yet another scary dimension to the Chargers offense even without Vincent Jackson in uniform. Running and passing are both legitimate threats with three capable blockers on the field disguised as receivers, the Bolts could have potentially eight offensive linemen on play for Mathews to run behind. The team's most versatile player at tight end is unquestionably Gates who has more than enough athleticism to split out into a wideout position and run routes with precision rivaling plenty of receivers in the league. This could help to nullify the loss of a big bodied target on the outside for quarterback Philip Rivers by simply shifting some bodies around.
The fact that the Bolts informed both V Jack and offensive tackle Marcus McNeill that they intend to take the recourse necessary to force both onto the field by week 7 in order to be eligible for free agency in 2011 shows that the team would still rather have both players in uniform for the bulk of the 2010 season. As required by the league, the Chargers organization sent written notification to both players informing them of the team's intent to place both on the "roster exempt" list if they don't sign their restricted free agent tenders by August 20th. This seems more like an announcement rather than a threat as neither McNeill nor Jackson plans to sign their respective tenders at any time in the future. The team's beat writer Kevin Acee expects both players to stand by their word and sit out the entire year ahead.
Obviously this isn't the ideal scenario for a team with Super Bowl aspirations like the Chargers, but the team has rallied together from adversity in the past and this is yet another opportunity to do just that. The good news is that linebacker Shawne Merriman has decided to end his hiatus from the team and sign his tender offer joining the Bolts after their preseason opener with the Chicago Bears. As for the bad news, well that remains rather self-explanatory as any team without their number one offensive weapon on the outside and blindside protector is one with issues. The real question is will these problems be overcome by the ingenuity of Turner's offensive mind during the course of a sixteen game season?
So what do the fans think, is Ryan Mathews the right fit to quarterback the "Wild Dog" offense? Will Antonio Gates bring enough versatility to the wide receiver position to overcome Vincent Jackson's absence? Could the Chargers actually be better off without these two players (Jackson and McNeill) during the 2010 season? Sound off in the comments section below with your take.

man, i would like to see a bunch of various new formations. of course not 20 times a game, but if you use 1-3 creative sets per game, it makes life very hard for opposing Dcoordinators.
3 TEs in the wild dog, gates split out wide, empty sets with gates/sproles as WRs, sproles/mathews in the same set, maybe even that wildcat thing with nanee (i remember they used it last preseason or at the start of last reg.season), such stuff. AND a lot of INSIDE rushes, didnt see a lot of them.
as i said, dont use it too often, but 1-3 "trick"-plays/formations per game in certain situations can prevent opposings Ds on focusing on rivers deep ball and mathews rushes.
I think you need to always stay creative and since we have a stationary type QB in Rivers, who I absolutely love for his ability to add such touch on any pass (I hate the delivery though), I think it is a great idea.
I like Mathews and Sproles with Nanee all in the back field, but with Gates and Floyd as a legitimate WR for an actual passing play if D-fenses come stack the box. Nanee throw high to the 2 tallest guys on the outside. If Defense does not bring 8-9 down in box, then direct snap to either for run..
Heck, put in Mathews or Sproles and Nanee in the backfield, with other on opposite side as slot WR, then run a screen pass to help open up the D-fense. Or if the rush is not stacked, again run from the backfield with Nanee trailing for optional pitch. Hell bring in Flag football style rules!

On January 1st, Portugal initiated an anti-smoking program throughout the nation. It was designed to halt smoking in public places. Antonio Nunes, who was given responsibility for enforcing the law was photographed on January 1st smoking a cigar in a casino. Instead of apologizing for his mistake, Mr. Nunes, said that he was not aware the anti-smoking law applied to casinos as well as cafes, restaurants, and bars. The Ministry of Health confirmed the ban applied to casinos. M. Nunes responded to questions with, "We will have to look into what is in the law."
Perhaps, the next time Mr. Nunes is given responsibility to enforce a law he will take a few moments and actually read the law he is supposed to carry out. Anyway, have a good smoke.

Westfield Man Pleads Guilty to Filing False Tax Returns and Failing to File Tax Returns
BOSTON, MA A Westfield man was convicted today in federal court of filing false income tax returns and failing to file income tax returns.
United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, Joann Zuniga, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Boston Field Office, and Brian Hickey, Regional Inspector General for Investigations, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, Region I and II, announced today that MARK LAVOIE, age 54, of 985 Granville Road, Westfield, Massachusetts, pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to Filing False Income Tax Returns and Failing to File Income Tax Returns.
At today's plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that the defendant under-reported his income on his 2001 and 2002 income tax returns by over $132,000. LAVOIE also failed to file income tax returns for 2004, 2005, and 2006 when he had approximate gross incomes of $164,250, $186,595, and $424,121, respectively.
Judge Ponsor scheduled sentencing for April 8, 2009. LAVOIE faces up to nine years imprisonment, to be followed by five years of supervised release, and a $275,000 fine on all of the charges.
The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Boston Field Office and U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant of Sullivans Springfield Branch Unit.

The most important Service Level Agreement?
In our recent post, the Backlash is Back, we promised to discuss "game changing", low tech techniques/tactics (we call them web 0.0) that Elite Recruiters execute flawlessly 95% of the time!
To kick off that discussion, last week Bradley provided thoughts and ideas about being a Strategic Business Partner and the importance of defining the staffing process and setting service level agreements (or SLAs) with your hiring manager.
To me, the most important Service Level Agreement you can set with your hiring manager to manage initial expectations and improve and maintain excellent customer service is – – Requisition Received to "first submittal".
Defined: This is the time that occurs between you as the recruiter receiving and qualifying the requisition from the hiring manager to the time you send over the first pre-screened, qualified candidates for consideration (or a pre-determined # or slate of qualified candidates).
9 times out of 10, when you ask a hiring manager the question during the intake session – – "when do you need this person" . . .
They respond – – "yesterday" or "ASAP".
And probably 9 times out of 10, recruiters walk away from that discussion without setting an expectation of when the hiring manager should start to see quality applicant flow from them.
Will you have candidates to interview in 2 days? 10 days? never?
I wrote an article on this subject last August that I thought you might want to check out.
In addition – – if you are interested in an example of a Staffing Process Service Level Agreement and how we have this question defined in our Intake session, please email us.
Have a productive, Perfect Day

Can a computer program reproduce everything that happens inside a living cell?
Brian Hayes
The idea of building artificial life forms, whether in software or in synthetic cytoplasm, has always been controversial. Mary Shelley, almost 200 years ago, wrote a deep meditation on this theme: Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. In Shelley's time the debate was framed in terms of vitalism versus mechanism. The vitalists argued that living things are distinguished from inorganic matter by some "spark of life" or animating principle. The opposing mechanist view had its greatest early champion in René Descartes, who compared animals to clockwork automata.
Within the world of science, the doctrine of vitalism is long dead, and yet there is still resistance to the idea that life is something we can fully comprehend by disassembling an organism and cataloging its component parts. In the brash early years of molecular biology, DNA was "the blueprint of life," a full set of instructions for building a cell. The core process of life was seen as symbol manipulation, a matter of pairing G with C and A with T, then mapping the 4-letter alphabet of nucleotides into the 20-letter alphabet of amino acids. If only we could learn to read the blueprints and decipher the genetic messages, we would know everything about how life works. Now that we read DNA sequences quite fluently, it seems clearer that there's more to life than the "central dogma" of molecular biology.
The idea of simulating a living cell with a computer program stands in the crossfire of this argument between reductionism and a more integrative vision of biology. On one hand, the WholeCell project makes abundantly clear that the DNA sequence by itself is not the master key to life. Even though the transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein is a central element of the model, it is not handled as a simple mapping between alphabets. The emphasis is on molecules, not symbols.
On the other hand, the very attempt to build such a model is a declaration that life is comprehensible, that there's nothing supernatural about it, that it can be reduced to an algorithm—a finite computational process. Everything that happens in the simulated cell arises from rules that we can enumerate and understand, for the simple reason that we wrote those rules.
I would love to believe that the success of simulation methods in biology might forge a new synthesis and put an end to philosophical bickering over these questions. I'm not holding my breath.

Ph: (09) 360 0714
Opportunities for fine dining are limited in Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands. With a total population of about 5500, half of whom are British Forces, this is perhaps understandable.
The local hotel apparently offers a nice lunch and dinner, but the sole cafe closed a year or so ago, and sandwich bars are the only other option.
Thus, as we were happily hosting a dear friend from this far-flung outpost of British significance and Argentinian interest, the least we could do was feed the poor woman.
Pure had been recommended, even though an early review had slammed it for poor service. It certainly seemed worth another try.
The restaurant is very small (although there is a function room upstairs), just six or seven tables, with banquettes maximising the available space. White walls and interesting prints allow it to be engaging without inducing claustrophobia.
As we were dining early, we had a choice of tables, but this option did not apply to late arrivals, and the place quickly filled.
The menu is very short, just five entrees and five mains, but reportedly it changes often, so regulars will not be bored. There is also a set menu, for those unable or unwilling to make decisions, and this is what Bill chose.
His spicy prawn salad was excellent, with sufficient flavour to enhance but not overpower the seafood. His main of beef cheeks, now de rigueur in bistros, came with mushrooms and polenta. Bill found the texture of the meat interesting, but it was so well cooked and meltingly tender that he had no complaints at all. His dessert of meringues with berry compote was equally well received.
Jackie, whose eyes sparkled at even limited choices, loved the smoked duck breast entree, and revelled in the liver parfait. Her main of crispy-skinned snapper was a real treat as, surprisingly, fresh fish is rare in the Falklands. And her joy at finding a properly made creme brulee with appropriately crunchy top, and a creamy citrusy side knew no bounds.
My entree of Serano ham, with whipped goat's cheese and fresh figs, was delightful, simple and elegant. I needed little thought in my choice of main - tender juicy rounds of pork fillet with black pudding, savoy cabbage (under-utilised and under-appreciated, in my opinion) and rosti. What could have been stodgy and ordinary was well-judged and delicious.
Marleen, our German waitress, was of the highest calibre. The service was watchful but unobtrusive, friendly and knowledgeable. Would that these were more common attributes in wait staff.
Pure has been open since 2008, and chef Stefan Loetscher of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine has more than proved his capabilities. Long may it remain.
Rating out of 10
Food: 9
Service: 9
Value: 8
Ambience: 8
Our meal: $254.50 for three starters, three mains, two desserts, a beer and a bottle of wine plus three brandies.
Wine list: An eclectic mix from around the world, with many I have never seen on a menu before. Our Clos Marguerite was excellent, as expected, and Bill was very happy with his Domain Road merlot. There is an adequate selection by the glass.
Verdict: Beautiful food, elegantly and expertly presented, as you'd expect from a cookery tutor, and unobtrusive but attentive service.

5 Spring Vegetables You Should Be Eating
ACE Fit Share
September 26, 2012, 11:23AM
It's all about mind over fatter. Forgive me for using the "F" word, but I couldn't resist. After all, the mind is the central tool to healthy, sustainable weight loss. Everything else follows. Weight loss begins, and ends, in the mind.
With the proper mindset, nearly any weight-loss program can be effective. Unfortunately, the unifying trait of the more than 65 percent of dieters who regain weight within the first year and the 85 percent of dieters who regain weight within three years is an unhealthy, self-sabotaging psychological mindset. That means that most dieters do not know how to think like a thin person, and are instead filled with irrational self-talk that serves as hindrances to effective lifestyle change.
To better understand the psychology of weight loss, we begin naturally with assessing our emotional readiness for change. From those who are most apprehensive to those actually ready and able to make meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes, understanding and recognizing our own self-talk is critical. Our deepest, most heartfelt core values determine the choices we will make, and in unlocking those we'll be on our way to a healthier, fitter and happier life. Working on the body, a number on a scale or even how one's jeans fit, before working on the mind, is useless.
Self-monitoring behavior is another essential step in understanding the role psychology plays in weight loss. This begins with keeping at least a three-day food log to help you become more aware of triggers to eating, food choices, portions, package labels and so on. Self-monitoring your thoughts, mood, sleep, general appetite and activity while eating are also essential.
To successfully lose weight and establish healthy motivation and adherence, you must take the time to understand and repair the unhealthy psychological steps that lead from a trigger to inappropriate eating choices:
Strengthening the "resistance muscle" or the "giving-in muscle" is largely determined by one's thoughts. A healthy weight-loss process principally involves responding to self-sabotaging thoughts with accurate, logical, rational and empowering thoughts. For example:
Sabotaging thoughts: "Being full is good and hunger is bad." "I'm good if I don't eat this and I'm bad if I do." "I'm either completely in control or totally out of control." "Yes, I know I ate a little while ago, but I'm starving." Replace these with, "I'm having a craving, but that doesn't mean I HAVE to eat."
Sabotaging thought: "I can"t stand feeling hungry, it's awful." Replace this with, "It's only uncomfortable but I can tolerate it…it'll go away."
The ultimate cognitive distortion that prevents weight loss is, "I demand that I should be able to eat what and when I want."
Psychologically correct weight loss requires thinking like a person of healthy weight, which leads to making healthier lifestyle choices. This involves learning how to:

Road To The Big Game: Video Preview
Four girls. Two teams. One field. It's Super Bowl season and the Cyber Girls are here to show you how it's done.
Rather than have us drone on at length about the intricacies of football and the importance of the Super Bowl we decided four girls getting ready for the big game could probably explain it a lot better. This video needs no more introduction than that really: four girls, two teams, in the locker room, getting dressed to play football. 'Nuff said.
But because we're eager to please and always think about the enjoyment of our readers, we've also assembled three photo sets honoring the people about to play for the game's biggest prize. Be sure to check back tomorrow, Friday and Monday to see the never before seen photos of Katie Carroll, Dani Mathers, Jennie Reid and Megan Medellin. Until then, enjoy.
Thursday Update: The Locker Room photo set is released. See all the photos here.

Where I stayed
Alexander Henry
We spent the first night in a Motel and experienced the first days of Fresher week for the many students who just returned back for Labour Day weekend (a national holiday here in Canada)! We walked into town from our Motel as the guy said it was only 10-15 minutes away. What he forgot to mention was this timing is by car and most definitely not by foot. Over an hour and a half later we staggered into the harbour area into the hubub of town life. (We won't be doing that again in the heat of the afternoon sun down a very dull stretch of interstate!!!!).
Kingston is a kind of hip n'groovy little place which was the kind of break we needed from the city slicker types of Montreal!! We mooched around and sat by the boats, had huge portions of fabulous Cambodian dinner for $10, which also did us for breakfast the next day - ahhh life on a budget and leftovers first thing, you can't beat it!!!
We took a free (!Marvellous!) ferry over to Wolfe Island, which is the largest of the 1000 islands on Lake Ontario, but really needed a bike or car to explore so just had lunch, enjoyed the sunshine and took the 20 min ferry ride back.
As it was Labour Day we were treated to music in the park, some laid back jazz numbers and then later some Canadian Rock!
We stayed in the most interesting B&B - the Alexander Henry, the Canadian Coastguard's icebreaker boat, which went out of service 1985. We stayed in the Chief Officer's room - with excellent views of the lake. It was like an adventure playground for Adult's as we got to explore most of the ship before battening down the hatches for the night. There were mosquito's on deck but we were spared as they were hastily eaten by the big-momma spiders (Ahhhhh!)

@dparkLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
I'm looking to get a larger pot. Currently I'm looking at the Evernew 900ml nonstick vs Open Country 3cup hard anodized plus gripper. By stats only they are the same weight, have almost the same volume, and both are touted to be nonstick. The price difference is huge.
There must be more to the picture as the data would suggest that the aluminum pot is a better buy yet there are a faithful following of the titanium pot. What am I missing?Feb 13, 2013 at 1:37 pm #1954040

@m-lLocale: W-Never Eat Soggy (W)affles
Regular titanium doesnt stick, its naturally non- stick. Thats what I would get.Feb 13, 2013 at 1:47 pm #1954049
Chris WBPL Member
@simplespiritLocale: .
Titanium is a harder material which generally allows for a thinner walled pot (resulting in less weight), but it's also a really poor conductor of heat.
If you plan to actually do more than boil water, I wouldn't give the Evernew a second thought, especially with the weights so close and aluminum being so much cheaper.Feb 13, 2013 at 2:04 pm #1954055
IanBPL Member
Not an exact comparison but I used anodized aluminum every day at home and use titanium in my kit. I can't speak ounce for ounce comparison regarding heat conductivity between aluminum and titanium but my snowpeak and esbit ti pots are so thin that it isn't a problem for me. They cool down faster than my steel or non-anodized aluminum backpacking pots so my cozy seems to be more important with titanium.
I'm using anodized aluminum at home and won't ever buy another Teflon pan again. Food will still stick to it (like Teflon) but it cleans up easy with a green scratchy pad. The finish is holding up well over time vs Teflon where our cookware would show signs of wear and tear after the first year. I haven't had any problems with food sticking to my titanium but I only boil noodles and such.
I erred towards titanium as I was more confident that it would hold up better on a fire than aluminum. I've never thrown my aluminum cookware on a fire so I'll let someone else weigh in if this is a well-founded concern or not. If fire cooking is not a concern and the weight is the same then I'd go for the aluminum pot.Feb 13, 2013 at 2:06 pm #1954058

@tomlikeLocale: Pacific Wonderland
Hard anodized all the way, I have the same pot. I don't understand the fascination with titanium pots, considering the difference in price. I suppose if all you do is boil water and dump water into a meal bag it wins (slightly) by weight.Feb 13, 2013 at 3:45 pm #1954090
Jon FongMember
@jonfong57Locale: www.flatcatgear.com
The Evernew pot has a ceramic non-stick coating (not- teflon). Some people have health concerns over teflon coated pots (too long to explain). If you are boiling water or making soups, the uncoated Evernew pots are fine. If you are trying to fry something, the thin walled titanium pan will work IF you use a LOT of oil. Other than that, frying can be a pain to cook with due to all of the hot spots. If you are looking for a pot that is easy to clean out, I would use and uncoated titanium pot. I use sand and grit to clean off stuborn spots.
I find that hard anodized aluminum pots are ok. The surface can be scratched if you are not carefull (cooking and packing things inside). I prefere titanium because I can beat the crap out of them and they still work. My 2 cents – JonFeb 14, 2013 at 8:16 am #1954303
Madeline TMember
I prefer hard anodized to titanium. I have a GSI hard anodized set that I adore and do not regret spending the money on one bit. I also have a titanium set I purchased from backcountry under their house brand, Stoic. Titanium scorches so easily I have never successfully cooked with it without burning a little something something. That said I like to cook while I camp. I do eggs for breakfast for the first few days and steak the first night. We catch fish, bread them and fry them to make fish tacos. We also have rehydrated chili, lentils, pasta sauces. Maybe I am a bad cook but I stink at cooking on titanium. It makes it so much more work.
I also have large aluminum sets that I use for group cooking. These are not hard anodized but simply teflon coated aluminum. They also cook easy. I do not burn food very often with these even though I am cooking for large groups when I use them.
Bottom line: The hard anodized stuff cleans up really easy, distributes heat better, and makes cooking for me easier. If you are however just boiling water, I guess this does not matter as much. I might move to packaging my dehydrated meals in those sealer bags and have more of a boil in a bag system.
I would be interested to hear what Laurie March uses to cook with.Feb 14, 2013 at 8:16 am #1954304

sorry repostFeb 14, 2013 at 11:31 pm #1954634
Dennis ParkBPL Member
@dparkLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Thanks all for the input. Overall it seems like the choice of pot material is mostly dictated by what is on the menu. Liquidy foods get titanium and thicker foods get aluminum.
Another question: does the open country 3cup hard anodized pot disperse heat well for cooking thicker foods?

Five lessons from Cannes by Caine Monroy
Caine Monroy, the 9 year old creator of Caine's Arcade, spoke at this year's 2012 Cannes Lions as part of JWT's Junior Worldmaker's seminar. Caine, who became famous for his cardboard arcade hand-built in the front of his father's East L.A. auto parts shop, offered up some great kid-perspective on business and creativity. Joined by kid-whizzes, Jordan Casey and Adora Svitak, they answered the question, "What Can 3 Kids Teach You About Creativity?" ...READ MORE

So, recently I was told I could use 8 mesh wire for beetle traps. That most beetles would go through 8 mesh. Well, I put that theory to the test. If you are able to see the picture attached you will see on the left the smallest hive beetle I could find and on the right an average size one, at least the ones in my hives anyway. They are sitting on a piece of 8 mesh. Even the small one would have a hard time getting through and certainly wouldn't fall through. The one on the right came from a trap made with 6 mesh wire and I have seen no bees getting through, or at least none end up in the oil.
Just had some time and was curious.

At the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, promising elite athletes train effectively. Up the road at the University of Colorado at Boulder, compromised petite athletes train defectively.
The tiny Boulder jocks are transgenic mice. Inserted into their chromosomes are mutant genes that lead to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or FHC, the primary cause of sudden death of high school football players, basketball stars and scores of other young athletes.
Inside the $1.5 million Center for Mammalian Biology, the mice pound away on itty-bitty treadmills under the watch of a team led by Leslie Leinwand, chair of the university's Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology.
The exercise regimen, intended to measure the at-risk heart's response to vigorous activity, is the latest in a series of studies that Leinwand and her colleagues believe will unravel the complex biology that leads to FHC deaths. They hope to devise an easy way to screen for the hard-to-diagnose condition and to work with pharmaceutical companies to find drugs that preempt the genetic damage.
At least seven different genes have been linked to the disease. FHC causes a thickening of the heart muscle that cuts down blood flow in the ventricles and hinders the muscles' ability to pump blood into the arteries. FHC symptoms are vague. They include dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. Often the first and only symptom is death—particularly when the heart is working hard and under stress.
Further complicating matters, people with FHC often—but by no means always—have larger-than-normal hearts. The reason for those heart-size differences is a persistent mystery. Plus, the hearts of healthy athletes, like the rest of their muscles, are generally larger than those of people who eschew regular and rigorous exercise. All these variables make the condition particularly difficult to detect.
Leinwand's group has fashioned three varieties of mice with FHC mutations, including one linked to the most frequent cause of playing-field death: a defect in a tiny portion of a single gene, one that codes for the protein myosin. Myosin is a main ingredient of muscle, crucial for maintenance of a heart's structural integrity. It also acts as a molecular motor, producing the energy and motion that allow the heart to contract. In people and in mice, healthy heart cells are densely packed with protein in an orderly configuration that enables muscle tissue to contract. In FHC hearts that carry the myosin mutation, cells that should be in a tidy parallel alignment are in disarray and lose function.
The other two mouse varieties carry different mutations of another gene that codes for a regulatory protein called troponin T. The protein is present in a normal heart's tiny muscle fibrils and is involved in calcium's triggering of contractions. Troponin T accounts for little or no heart enlargement in FHC patients. But even a little of the protein produced by mutant genes may be too much.
"In troponin-mutant mice, we can manipulate how much of the protein they make," Leinwand says. "We have found that when the gene makes even a small amount of the protein, it can cause death within eight hours."
The work is starting to pay off. In the past year, Leinwand's group has described the genetics and assembly properties of myosin in the heart and has identified promising molecular markers for FHC.
Leinwand and her collaborators, who hold a patent on their myosin-defective transgenic mice, now have turned pro. They have founded a company, Myogen, to look for a way to improve the motor activity in heart muscles of people with FHC.—William J. Cannon

text: Many candidates wonder if the practice tests are actually similar to ACE certification exams. In a nutshell, yes, the paper sample test and the online diagnostic tests available for your use are in fact designed to help you successfully prepare for the ACE exam. The practice tests are structured in such a way that they resemble the format, content and difficulty of the actual ACE exam questions. Here's some more insight into those three components: Format: Our practice questions mimic the format used in the actual ACE exam. You will see a question (or stem) followed by four possible answers (or responses). The four response options will consist of one correct (or most correct) answer and three distractors, which are all incorrect. Distractors, as their name suggests, contain common errors that tend to be similar to the correct response because they are often comparable in length, complexity, grammatical construction, etc. To avoid these possible traps, be sure to carefully read through all questions and answers. You will notice that the majority of the questions are application-based. You will be given a certain amount of information that either needs to be synthesized, deduced, complied, etc. in order to draw a proper conclusion and answer the question at hand. Very few of our exam questions are recall questions in which you memorize information and then recall it at the exam. If you find yourself getting tripped up by a question or by the format of the questions on the practice tests, there are a number of strategies you can use to successfully dissect multiple choice questions and to improve your reading comprehension so that you feel more confident come exam day. Content: The practice tests follow the content outline used to design the actual ACE exam. This means that questions will be distributed appropriately across major areas of responsibility (i.e. performance domains). For example, when you review the ACE Personal Trainer exam content outline you will see that the Professional Role and Responsibilities (Domain 4) is weighted the least. Program Progression, Modification and Maintenance (Domain 3), is heavier in weight, but still less than the two most heavily and important domains — Client Interview and Assessment and Program Design and Implementation (Domains 1 and 2). This means the majority of the practice questions as well as the ACE exam questions, also known as items, will focus on content from Domains 1 and 2. Be sure to frequently refer to the exam content outline throughout your studies. Difficulty: The difficulty of the sample test exam questions is purposefully crafted to reflect the difficulty of the ACE exam questions. Practicing at similar difficultly levels will give you a better idea of what to expect on the ACE exam, allowing you to tailor your studies appropriately. Now that you know what to expect on the practice exams, here are some helpful hints to ensure you are maximizing on their potential: When to take the practice tests: So when should you take these practice tests? It is recommended that you utilize these exams in the last few weeks of your studies to see how you are doing with the material as you approach your ACE exam. After taking the online diagnostic tests, you will receive a diagnostic score report. This report includes the practice questions, the possible answers and then highlights both the correct and incorrect answers. If a question is answered correctly, then an explanation of why it's correct will follow. If a question is answered incorrectly, then an explanation of why it's incorrect and why the correct answer is right will also follow. This type of feedback is extremely helpful and can continue to guide you in your studies. How to take the practice tests: If you are planning to take a computer-based exam, then the online diagnostic tests are a great way to prepare for the exam because you can create a similar testing environment. Sit at a desk in a quiet area and allow yourself to only have a piece of paper, and a pen or pencil. Remember, calculators will not be permitted on exam day, so make sure you practice your math equations by hand. Do your best to take your practice test without distractions so that you can really feel like you are taking your ACE exam. Ideally, practicing in an exam-like environment will help make you feel more comfortable on the day of the exam. How to use multiple online diagnostic tests: The first time you take a practice test will provide the best measure of how well you will do on the ACE exam. If you have purchased the two online diagnostic tests, then we recommend taking the first test, reviewing your answers, brushing up on domains/topics that you may still be unclear about, and then taking the second test to reassess you readiness for the exam.

I have very fair, freckly skin and I used to always get redness around my nose and cheek bones. This serum has calmed my skin down so much that I use much less makeup and feel comfortable going out with bare skin. It's lightweight and one pump is more than enough for the whole face. So worth it!5
I have broken capillaries and severe redness in my nose and cheeks. I have tried many "green" powders and primer to offset the red, but nothing has really helped the problem, only kind of covered it up. June Jacobs Redness Diffusing Serum had TRANSFORMED my skin in a week! I have been using it twice daily and especially after I exfoliate, and my skin is 85% less red!! I wish I had before and after pictures. This product WILL be in my skincare routine for the rest of my life. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!5


text: With all the talk of how the Oline is coming together, why can't we get a running game going? Is it KG's predictable playcalling (uh...shotgun draw 341 times a game), we're not good at getting off our blocks, our RB's are not getting it done or what?? I think given everything else, that is right now our biggest concern. We NEED to be able to run that ball and control the clock, and get that play action pass going.

[quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="dezzzR"]This trayvon martin case is being beaten to death....
[/quote]Rightfully so, he was an unarmed kid who was shot to death, have you listened to to details of what went down??? Its DISGUSTING!!!!
Cmon Dezz I expected better from you
the whole new "eye witness information" about how the kid ran after him, beat him, etc....yet there are no wounds or bruises found on Zimmerman
Unfortunately, Florida's laws are bull**** and allow you to shoot to kill when you fear your life is threatened.
I also dont understand why he hasnt been arrested. Arrest now...figure it out later. Regardless of self defense or not, he killed a man. you cant just let a guy walk around while you try to sort things out.

first off, I agree with the Florida law that allows you to shoot to kill when you fear for your life, I don't see how that's a bull**** law, if you fear for your life shouldn't you be able to protect yourself? shooting someone in the leg is actually hard you know, it's not so simple...plus if they also have a gun then it's not going to do you much good.
secondly, what happened to innocent until proven guilty, why would we arrest him now and figure it out later? that goes against everything our legal system stands for.
I hate that you guys all jump into these emotional responses...it's whats wrong with people nowadays, you can't change the way a system works every time you don't like something someone did, you have to follow due process...otherwise why even have laws in the first place.
If Zimmerman is guilty then I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but until he's proven guilty I want him to be given a fair trial and I want all rules to be followed...I don't want him being treated differently just because his case made big news.
[/quote]Innocent til proven guilty applies ONLY to trials, not to arrests
And you really agree with Florida's law!?!?! Well I think you're threatening my way of life, does that mean that I can drive upstate and murder you???
So far Zimmerman cant get a fair trial, cause you cant go to trial for a crime unless you're arrested and according to you he shouldnt be arrested and in turn he shouldnt go to trial for a crime he obviously comitted??
You are right Kase. But they have convicted this guy already in the court of public opinion.

It seems that you have as well.

[/quote]Dont kid yourself, public opinion doesnt mean tish!!!!
I have because its painfull obvious what happened, and its obvious that you have your opinion on the case as well, does that mean you're right???
If I had to choose I would say that the guy followed him, confronted him and then shot him during a scuffle. Thats at least manslaughter, if not worse.

But I can't say that I know what so many out there presume to know. No one really knows what happened except these two people, and one of them is dead.

This is exactly what happened in the Duke case. everybody thought they knew exactly what happened. MSNBC was on the scene along with Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson. Rich white preppies and a black victim. The nation was in outrage. these kids were publicly scorned and afraid to leave their houses.

And they were all proven absolutely innocent.
[/quote]Im a working class, blue collar Irish-American living in a blue collar diverse neigborhood, neither a rich white preppy or a black victim.
Cops told him to stay put, dont approach the person, and dont start a confrontation, all of that is on the 911 tape its not us 'liberal' twisting the truth
Sounds like you think you know exactly what happened, but in actuallity me and you know the same as everyone else except for Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin

Pregnant mother hit by tractor trailer dies
LA GRANGE - A pregnant mother, hit by a tractor trailer on Tuesday, died Sunday according to family members.
Tiffany Smith, 22, died from multiple injuries from the crash, family said.
Smith was hit by an 18-wheeler Tuesday in the parking lot BJ's Grill in La Grange. Troopers said the tractor trailer ran off Highway 70 and into the parking lot where Smith was standing with her two-year-old son Deshawn. Smith lost her unborn child in the accident.
According to family members, the two-year-old had surgery on a broken femur, but is expected to be OK.
The crash was likely caused when the driver of the 18-wheeler swerved to avoid a pick-up truck that pulled out in front of him, troopers said. The Highway Patrol expects to speak with the District Attorney Tuesday about possible charges.
Family members said funeral arrangements for Smith are pending.
A pregnant mother who was hit by an 18-wheeler while standing with her son in a parking lot is in critical condition, according to family members.
Family of 22-year-old Tiffany Smith said Smith is in intensive care at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville after a tractor trailer ran over Smith and her two-year-old son, Deshawn.
Troopers said the tractor trailer ran off Highway 70 in La Grange and into the parking lot of BJ's Grill, where Smith was putting her son in his car seat. Both victims were transported to Vidant Medical Center.
Smith, who was seven months pregnant, lost her unborn child in the accident. According to family members, Smith suffered several injuries, including internal bleeding.
Family said the two-year-old underwent surgery for a broken femur, but is expected to be OK.
Troopers said the crash was likely caused when the driver of the 18-wheeler swerved to avoid a pick-up truck that pulled out in front of him.
The accident is still under investigation and no charges have been filed.
An 18-wheeler ran off the road and crashed into a pregnant woman and her toddler, the Highway Patrol said.
It happened off Highway 70, outside La Grange in Lenoir County at around noon Tuesday.
The woman was coming out of BJ's Grill, carrying food and her toddler son, when the 18-wheeler ran off Highway 70 and hit the mother and child in the parking lot, troopers said. The toddler was reportedly trapped underneath the tractor-trailer. According to witnesses, the child's mother was pregnant. The victims' car, seen in the photo, was smashed.
The 18-wheeler may have went off the road because it swerved while trying to avoid a truck, which had come into the 18-wheeler's lane, troopers said.
The mother was airlifted to Vidant Medical Center and her child was taken by ambulance, troopers said. Their identities and conditions have not been released. The driver of the 18-wheeler was also seen getting into an ambulance.

What an absolute angel you are to share this with everyone! Many blessings to you and yours!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What an absolute angel you are to share this with everyone! Many blessings to you and yours!!
Thanks so much for sharing your discovery. Your drawing is excellent and really helped me understand your technique. I am making a bag this weekend so I am going to try your stippling technique.
I started by buying up a bunch of old fabrics cheap at a Salvation Army Store. Think the whole box cost me $5. Then I started with the largest prints, and worked on quilting around those. As I improved, I worked my way slowly down to outlining the smallest prints. There were hearts to practice on, and plaids where I could do geometric work, solids for "fill in quilting", and vines to follow and outline. I ended up buying more cheap, used fabric and continued on. It saved me! Prior to that, I couldn't FMQ for the life of me, and I was getting frustrated with the tutorials, etc. I had to practice, practice, practice moving that material around, really getting the feel of it. Eventually I graduated to "sandwiched" pieces, and then to quilts. Yes, it was a long process, but it was what I needed to do for me to learn. It was even harder because I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands (numbness and tingling) and the fabric had a different feel to me than it might for other people. But now, I am praised for my quilting abilities.
I also very, very much like Leah Day's suggestion of putting a serpentine line of quilting on a quilt, and then meadering back and forth over it. I just love her!
I do that with feathers and swirls works great
you can do the same with feathers
Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to try this method.
OMG! How incredibly elementary!Thank you soooo much, I am going to meander like crazy now!
Have discovered paper piecing!
Thank you so much. I'll bet Leah could have kicked herself for not thinking of this! I am a new meanderer and had the same trouble you did before your brainstorm. For months, I have done lots of research and reading regarding free motion quilting. No where have I seen this brilliant idea, not even from the best of the best quilters, so I kiss the ground you walk on! Endless possibilities, I'd say. Thank you AGAIN for requesting this be a tutorial and hats off to our fabulous moderator. What a wonderful site we have here. Quiltingboard.com is the best!
Very clever.. This will help me for sure, as I have struggled with consistency in my FMQ too. And who doesn't love Leah Day??
Whoo Hoooo!!!! Maybe this will be something that will take the fear out of learning to stipple and meander for me. thanks so much for posting this I think you made a lot of us quilters happy this morning.

BX ring type joint gasket refers to the metal gasket of BX-shaped section by processing metal materials. It is of pressure energized seal in radial direction, one special kind of octagonal metal ring gaskets. It has good sealing as the contact between gasket and the ring joint faces, especially the outside face, and is pressed tightly to keep good sealing performance. BX ring type joint gasket is installed inside the ring joint groove of flange face. When the connecting bolt is fastened, it is compressed in axis direction and is pressed close to the upper and lower ring joint grooves, which result in the plastic deformation to create the seal. After pressure is raised, the ring gasket expands in radial direction under the force of media pressure. The gasket sticks more tightly to the bevel face of ring joint groove to form self-tightening. However, the rise of media pressure will deform the flange and connecting bolt, it will cause the relative separation between the sealing surfaces, and the sealing ratio of gaskets is reduced accordingly.

Hi there,
Looking for some advice if anyone can help. I'd really like to do a TEFL course but am currently working so can't take 4 weeks off for one of the full time CELTA courses. I read about the i-to-i combined weekend and online course and wanted to know if this was any good or not. Has anyone had any experience with them?
Thanks very much,

The first day on which you can find at least two hipsters living in "holes" in Williamsburg Brooklyn (or its equivalent), who are wearing winter appropriate: (a) knitted footwear, and (b) knitted headwear. If the Hipster Hog sees his/her shadow, it means at least seven months of whispering, "what the f*ck is that idiot wearing?"
I know we were at the beach last weekend, but it was Hipster Hog Day today, so Winter is right around the corner.

UTSA Diploma Dash celebrates 25th anniversary
By Marcia Mattingly
Communications Consultant, Office of Alumni Programs
(Jan. 26, 2009)--On a chilly February morning in 1983, the first UTSA Alumni Association 10K race, co-sponsored with the University Center Program Council, attracted approximately 400 avid runners. When UTSA Homecoming came on the scene in 1985, the race was dubbed the "Hightailer 10K," going with the theme "Hightail it Home!" It continued as a 10K race until it became the "Dollars for Scholars 5K Race" in 1993. Under the name UTSA Alumni Diploma Dash, 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the event.

On Feb. 21, more than 1,000 runners are expected to participate in UTSA Alumni Diploma Dash 2009, now professionally chip-timed. The sponsorships and business partners have grown 10-fold, and alumni, their families and UTSA students are active participants and volunteers.
Each year, an extended family of alumni volunteers headed to the Convocation Center on the 1604 Campus determined to raise money for student scholarships and to have fun. This motivation has never changed over the years.
Through the years, many dedicated volunteers stepped up efforts to make the fund raising event one of the premiere races in South Texas. Roger Soler, '85, was instrumental in developing the race into what it is today, working tirelessly with volunteers to make sure the race attracts serious runners and maintains its reputation as a premier running event. Additionally, Soler was the men's open champion in 1985, 1986 and 1990.
Pepsi was the first presenting sponsor in 1995 and continued until 2000. ING Financial Services was presenting sponsor in 2004. Argonaut Group served as presenting sponsor in 2005 and 2006, followed by Capital Group Companies in 2007 and 2008.
It was renamed the San Antonio City Championship in 1997 and began attracting a large group of faithful participants, corporate sponsors, UTSA students and faculty, wellness providers and retail sports and running stores to help make each race more successful than the last. The race officially was re-branded and trademarked "Diploma Dash" in 2000.
J.R. "Corky" Rubio, M.B.A., '76, has run in the 5K for 20 years. He was a founding member and first vice president of the UTSA Alumni Association and was named the Alumnus of the Year 1984.
"Diploma Dash is a signature event for me, and running each year takes me back to those crisp, cool days when we students were first admitted to the 1604 Campus," said Rubio. "As time went on, I just enjoyed the camaraderie of the morning, especially seeing the crew of volunteers at work. Then the race became a big event, with several San Antonio mayors either running or shooting the starting gun. After all those years, I have quite a t-shirt collection."
Another long-time runner is San Antonio Express-News editor Robert Rivard, '96, Alumnus of the Year 2000. "I ran my fastest 10K ever in Diploma Dash 1992 before the event was shortened to a 5K," he said. "I was running the San Antonio Marathon the same year and was really ready. The 25th anniversary has me ready to strap on running shoes and train."
The race also has attracted many elite runners through the years, and UTSA alumna and 2008 Olympic marathon runner Liza Hunter-Galvan, '93, '05, clocked first in women's overall in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995,1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2006.
A native New Zealander, Hunter-Galvan earned a track and field scholarship to UTSA and was coached by Shawn Flanagan. After graduating, she settled in San Antonio, married, raised a family and became a teacher. "I love the Diploma Dash," she said. "I feel so indebted to UTSA -- it's just a very small thing to do to support UTSA. I'm going to do whatever I can to help. My experiences at UTSA changed my life."
This year, medals and prizes will be awarded in open, masters and 13 age categories, and the Corporate Team Challenge, UTSA Student Team Challenge and ROTC Team Challenge. Prizes will be awarded for record-breaking times, male and female. Clydesdale and Filly divisions also are popular categories. New this year is a wheelchair division with first-, second- and third-place medals for men and women.
Race-day registration and stretching begin at 8 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 21 with the starting gun firing at 9 a.m. The racecourse offers a certified 5K flat and fast course for accomplished runners and a scenic 1.5-mile course for those preferring an easier pace.
Registration fees are $25 for individuals registering online by midnight, Wednesday, Feb. 18, and $35 on race day. UTSA students can register for $10, and children 14 and under are $10 in the special H-E-B Kids program. Each registrant will receive a long-sleeved event t-shirt and "goodie" bag.

A new exhibit, "Memories from Childhood: Our Favorite Christmas Stories," is now on display in Special Collections on the 4th Floor of Belk Library and Information Commons. The display draws on children's literature relating to Christmas from the Historical Children's Literature rare book collection and the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection, both part of Special Collections. Special Collections staff and Dougherty Reading Room reference students chose their favorites from the collections for the exhibit. Included are a first edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Gloria Houston's The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree, and a book of traditional Christmas songs illustrated by H.A. Rey, known for his "Curious George" series.
Pictured: Cover art for We Three Kings and other Christmas Carols, illustrated by H.A. Rey (1944).
There will be no ABC Express Service from December 21st to January 1st because the libraries at Appalachian State University, Western Carolina, and University of North Carolina Ashville
will be closed.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Belk Library now offers the Appalachian State community access to OverDrive, a service which allows users to download ebooks and audiobooks to their favorite mobile device. Titles include popular fiction, study aids (GRE, LSAT, GMAT, CPA), travel guides, foreign language study audiobooks, and more.
Items are available in four formats: Kindle, EPub, MP3 and WMA audio. An Adobe ID or Amazon Kindle account is required, and either an OverDrive Media Console App or a Kindle device or App. For help, see our Library Guide for eBooks/OverDrive, or visit us in the library. You can always read available ebooks through your browser without having to download any software.
Explore OverDrive to see the growing collection of downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, and enter your Banner/Univeristy ID number to download up to three titles at a time for either a 7, 14, or 21 day check-out. Titles are returned automatically at the end of the lending period, so there are never late fees.
OK, maybe you need actual food too. But an e-book about cooking or cuisine might be a great idea for the holiday.
Our new (tiny) Overdrive Collection has 18 books on cooking and food. They can be checked out for 21 days.
Overdrive e-books are hard to set up the first time, but easy after that. Click on your device on this help page for instructions. Or ask us for help.
More on the Belk Library's Overdrive e-books.
We also have EBSCO e-books. Browse these 1668 e-books on food and drink.
These are challenging to set up the first time also, but as easy as changing TV channels after that. Try out these instructions, but come visit us for help setting up if they don't quite work. Most (~90%) can be checked out for 14 days. They do not work with Kindles.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2012
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 2. Assessment
Chapter 5. Special Types of Property
Article 6. Certificated Aircraft*
Section 1154
1154. "Air taxi" defined; assessment. (a) As used in this section, "air taxi" means aircraft used by an air carrier which does not utilize aircraft having a maximum passenger capacity of more than 30 seats or a maximum payload capacity of more than 7,500 pounds in air transportation and which does not hold a certificate of public convenience and necessity or other economic authority issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, or its successor.
(b) Air taxis which are operated in scheduled air taxi operations are not subject to the provisions of Part 10 (commencing with Section 5301) of this division and shall be assessed in accordance with the allocation formula set forth in Section 1152.
(c) All other air taxis shall be assessed in the county where the aircraft is habitually situated in the same manner and at the same ratio as other personal property in the county subject to general property taxation. Such aircraft shall be taxed at the same rate and in the same manner as all other property on the unsecured roll.
History.—Stats. 1969, p. 1466, in effect August 14, 1969, added the subdivision letters, added "which are operated in scheduled air taxi operations" to subdivision (b), and added subdivision (c). Stats. 1977, Ch. 921, in effect January 1, 1978, substituted "having a maximum passenger capacity of more than 30 seats or a maximum payload capacity of more than 7,500 pounds" for "whose maximum certificated takeoff weight is greater than 12,500 pounds" in the first sentence of subdivision (a). Stats. 2011, Ch. 351 (SB 947), in effect January 1, 2012, substituted "Federal Aviation Administration" for "Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States, or its successor, or by the California Public Utilities Commission" after "issued by the" in the first sentence of subdivision (a).
Construction.—An aircraft used for unscheduled air taxis constitutes a common carrier even though the aircraft is not a commercial aircraft used for scheduled airline operations. Such an aircraft would be exempt from sales and use tax under Revenue and Taxation Code Section 6366.1, subdivision (a), and, therefore, no amount attributed to sales tax should be included in an assessor's valuation of the aircraft. Auerbach v. Los Angeles County Assessment Appeals Board No. 2; CKE Assoc., 167 Cal.App.4th 1428.
* Article 6 was added by Stats. 1968, p. 2460, in effect August 13, 1968.

Reviews of this property
My partner and I stayed at Robbert and Germaine's apartment for my birthday. The hosts were friendly and helpful and provided us with lots of information and maps etc. The apartment is located in the beautiful area of De Pijp with a canal just steps away from the main entrance. We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere cosy and relaxed after a busy day in the city.
Really enjoyed the stay in the beautiful apartment. The location was perfect for us: in a local area without tourist groups, still it was easy to get to the places (we used trams... and also walked a lot, not very long distances anywhere we wanted to go).
The hostess did welcome warmly: we received enough information beforehand to feel comfortable to get easily to the apartment. And when arriving, received good infopack about the neighbourhood and the apartment itself.
Positive feedback also for the extra bed that was made for us when arriving - friends would prefare own beds instead of the double bed, which sure would be good for a couple ;-)
When travelling back to Dam, would be checking if it would be available at Robbert & Germaine's.
The situation is very good, near the Pijp and facing the canal. The apartment is nice and very confortable.- Everything perfect.
Hello Germaine and Robbert,
from gr. living room (with fireplace), one looks directly onto the Kanal.Die apartment is very central but ruhig.Parkmöglichkeiten locally.
Our landlord was very nice and clean accommodation hilfsbereit.Sehr.
We love to come back ....
Thanks for the good advice of the restaurants around the corner.
Kind Regards
Martin and Carmen
Hallo Germaine und Robbert,
vom gr. Wohnzimmer (mit Kaminfeuer), schaut man direkt auf den Kanal.Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig.Parkmöglichkeiten vor Ort.
Unsere Vermieter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.Sehr saubere Unterkunft.
Wir kommen gerne wieder....
Danke für die guten Tipps der Restaurants um die Ecke.
Schöne Grüße
Martin und Carmen
Lovely apartment with everything you need for a little vacation.
Sweet, friendly and helpful hosts. Nice that was taken care of wine, water and snacks in the apartment. It was great after a long rejsedag.Lejligheden is fine in relation to the tourist attractions and nice quiet night.
Everything worked perfectly. Well with gas heater and separate toilet.
We'd love to stay here again if we have another time to Amsterdam.
Thanks for everything.
Dejlig lejlighed med alt, hvad man har brug for til en lille ferie.
Søde, venlige og hjælpsomme værter. Dejligt at der var sørget for vin, vand og snacks i lejligheden. Det var skønt efter en lang rejsedag.Lejligheden ligger fint i forhold til turist-attraktionerne og dejligt stille om natten.
Alt fungerede perfekt. Godt med gasvarmeren og separat toilet.
Vi vil meget gerne bo her igen, hvis vi en anden gang skal til Amsterdam.
Tak for det hele.
Authentic de pijp experience. Robbert (I did not have the pleasure to meet with Germaine) is a very attentive host who even agreed to bring the keys to my office so I could check in flexibly. In the apartment some wine ,water, beer and nuts were waiting, which was highly appreciated. For the apartment itself: if you want to experience the 'Amsterdam de Pijp' feeling, this apartment is the right place. Very steep stairs, a cozy gas heater (that unfortunately could not be turned off, so with the nice spring weather it was too warm in the apartment), interesting arrangements with a light in the wc with which the light in the staircase outside the apartment was turned on and off, tiny but cute balcony, kitchen with old gas heater for water, very small bedroom, old closet, etc. If you are looking for modern luxury this simple but functional apartment is not the place for you. The direct neighbourhood is also not the best to walk through alone at night, a bit trashy with red light houses in the same street. Given the price of the apartment (of way over € 100-150), I personally had expected more luxury compared to other apartments that I stayed in.
Had a wonderful stay in Amsterdam. Robbert and Germaine were very welcoming. Nice and clean appartment and at a wonderful location. Great to live in a dutch house next to a canal with real house- boats.Close to a great outdoor market, museums and the consert house.
We walked, walked and then walked some more. Are you a bicycle afficiendo this is a great way to get around. The art- exhibits are truly wonderful. Fantastic cable- cars, metro, tarins etc. Easy to get to and from Schipol.
Sincerely yours Gudrun

I have been away from BeeKeeping for a number of years, I joined the Army and stayed 20+ years.
I'm back now. The Honey Co, I worked for, with their 7,000+/- colonies, is no more.. One of the first major ones (1989) to crash I assume. So I have been researching on what path to follow in re-establishing what used to be.
I have read almost all their is on the SMR Queens, as to their advertising and such. But what has the Public discovered about these bees? Is it worth my effort to invest in this trait of should I pursue the 4.9mm route. I have my Nucs on order and intent to re-queen this summer.
All responces of either opinion are greatly appreciated.

The Suites at Fall Creek • Branson, MO
Escape Kit

The Destination
Branson, Missouri, is known for its live shows and country music—theaters with more seats than Broadway line 76 Country Boulevard. This Las Vegas-meets-Nashville town has a flair for the dramatic, but keeps the entertainment wholesome enough for the whole family to enjoy. Those who prefer a more laid-back experience will be in heaven among the Ozark mountains, lakes, and streams just outside of town, where anglers fish for trophy-worthy bass and bluegill.
The Digs
About five miles southwest of downtown Branson, The Suites at Fall Creek opts for peace and quiet over bright lights and live shows. Condo-style accommodations are outfitted with comfy queen or king beds, private baths, and kitchen areas. Many also feature screened porches and jetted tubs. Beyond your room, the manicured grounds offer plenty of recreation options—indoor and outdoor pools, athletic courts, and a marina with fishing docks—to keep you entertained.
The Diversions
• Cast a line on Table Rock Lake
• Dine on comfort food at Branson Cafe
• Catch a live show at Little Opry Theatre
• Get your heart pumping at Silver Dollar City
"This was our first visit to Branson and we were impressed by our accomodations at The Suites at Fall Creek. We had an apartment overlooking the lake and really took advantage of hanging out on the large, screened porch and watching the wildlife."-- TripAdvisor
