Reviews of this property
We simply loved our stay at BAMBOO Haus!
It is such a nice apartment - absolutely clean and so well equipped that there is nothing, really nothing that we missed - we simply felt home in BAMBOO house. Luca and Anders have really brought out the best from this 1 room apartment with a lot of details and accessories.
Here are some details:
Location: Centrally located at the metro station UBhf Siemensdamm . So connection-wise you are all set, no matter whether you go by car or metro since you can also use the drive-up to Berliner Ring and move around by car -. We always found a parking spot close to BAMBOO Haus.. There is a grocery store and lots of restaurants in walking distance.
Living/bed room:
The bed is nice and comfortable and big enough for two.
There is a nice seating lounge where you can comfortably have breakfast.
TV and broadband internet is available. Enough storage places (cupboards, drawers) are available as well.
Kitchen: There is a little kitchen with a cooking plate, all the crockery and cutlery you need, a washing machine and all the appliances you need (water cooker, toaster etc....)
Misc: A separate small bath with a shower and all you require for your stay (hair dryer etc...) and in the hall you have a cupboard with iron, iron board, additional blankets and towels. There is really not a thing we missed.
Handover of keys on arrival day was also well organized - we exchanged emails a couple of days beforehand and arranged the meeting time.
Bottom-Line: I would always and absolutely recommend the stay in BAMBOO HAUS!
Thanks Luca and Anders !
The apartment is perfect for a couple. Luca and Anders are very helpful! Thank you for everything! See you next time!
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo Haus and would be happy to holiday from there again. The area around the block of flats is quiet without too much traffic and the glazing on the window and balcony door is very soundproof. The flat was very clean and was equipped with everything that you might need - washing machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer and plenty of extra towels, blankets and pillows. The bed provided firm support and was very comfortable. The kitchen was provided with a 2 ring hob for cooking.
The flat is on the first floor of the building and has a balcony where it was quite pleasant to sit of an evening. In addition to the stairs there is also a lift in the building.
With three small supermarkets within a short walk and a bank in the building next door, the area had everything needed during a short stay. Transport facilities are excellent with a U-Bahn station just across the road. Travelling on the U-Bahn, you can be in the centre of Berlin in about 30 minutes. From the Berlin Hauptbahnhof the flat may be reached by the S-Bahn and U-Bahn or one can travel directly from the station on Bus Nr 123 which stops less than 50 metres from the flat.
Anders met us at the flat when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful with advice about travel within Berlin and places to eat and to visit. At the end of our stay he met us again at the flat to pick up the key when we departed. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
Appartamento carinissimo e molto pulito, c'è tutto quello che può servire ed è perfetto per visitare Berlino dato che la fermata della metro è a pochissimi passi. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e ci hanno dato informazioni su dove cenare/cosa visitare e sono stati disponibili anche durante il soggiorno per eventuali domande. Consigliato al 100%!
Sehr saubere und zentral gelegene Wohnung, mit allem ausgestattet was einen Urlaub angenehm macht. Nette hilfsbereite Vermieter. Kommen gerne wieder.
Super schoon en fris appartement. Rustig gelegen, pal naast de supermarkt, bank en u-bahn. Ideaal dus voor een uitstapje naar Berlijn.
Sehr gepflegte, schön eingerichtete Wohnung mit allem, was man für einen Stadturlaub braucht.
Perfekte Größe für 2 Personen, alles ist sehr sauber und Anders und Luca sind sehr nett und entgegenkommend.
Die Lage ist auch sehr gut, die U-Bahn fährt alle paar Minuten und man ist in nicht mal 30 Minuten am Alexanderplatz.
Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind auch viele in der Nähe.
Wenn wir das nächste Mal nach Berlin kommen, werden wir sicher wieder mit Anders & Luca Kontakt aufnehmen, ob das Bamboo Haus zu der Zeit frei ist!
Wir sind mit unserem 4 Monate alten Sohn angereist und haben alles vorgefunden was man benötigt. Die Wohnung war sauber und Hygienisch.
Unsere Anreise hatte sich wegen extrem schlechter Verkehrslage weit in die Abendstunden verzögert, was für den Gastgeber aber auch kein Problem war und hat uns offen und herzlich empfangen.
Eine günstige und dennoch ruhige Wohnung direkt an der Nonnendammallee mit allen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für die Verpflegung und sachen des täglichen Bedarfs.
Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und würden die Wohnung wieder Buchen.

text: I have had a real problem keeping mating nucs populated. I have shaken nurse bees, always fed, put in a pheromone, brought the nuc inside for 3 days then out to the mating yard, much to no avail. Most all bees leave if not in fact all. I have about 10% success. Anybody got any ideas what I could be doing wrong. I do better making splits and adding the cells that I graft, but that doesn't help if I want to sell queens.

I made this thread because there was a Tiki thread a few days ago where I stated he was "The best offensive weapon to wear a Giants uniform". A couple of guys countered and said Mqark bavaro and Frank Gifford were better offensive weapons than Tiki.
I promptly posted stats to prove otherwise and guys did not back up their opinions with facts. Guys instead chose to talk about what a leader Gifford was, yada yada yada.... So I download 2 Giants championships from the 60's and I was not very impressed when comparing to the football that I grew up watching.
So let me start this debate up once again and hopefully people use logic and not emotion as people seem to be very sore over Tiki retiring. So since guys ran from the facts last time, allow me to start up the debate again.
Tiki leads Bavaro and Gifford in every stat that matters to an offensive player. TD's, Rec's and Yards From Scrimmage.
Now please tell me who have you seen in a Giants uniform better than Tiki.

Your red cabinet is awesome! I love it.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Your red cabinet is awesome! I love it.
"Most sewing machine problems are due to the carbon based unit in the chair in front of the machine"
The red sets off the machine nicely - brown would camouflage it.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Great job !!
Dance like no one is watching
She cleaned up right purty. Think she is loving her new home too.
Yooper32 aka: Donna B
Wow! Great job on both cabinet and machine, and they go together so well! I normally would not paint a cabinet, but in this case, with the condition it was in, I think you did the right thing. Did you use wood filler and then sand and paint or was sanding enough? Did you have veneer on the cabinet or solid wood? GREAT JOB!!!
That turned out to be a beautiful machine, and I love the cabinet. Red in the north is the thing for this year of the Snake.....Put it in a north corner or on a north wall for good luck.....
Make every day count for something!
If you lived close by me I would buy it in a heart beat!!! You have done a
beautiful job restoring the machine and cabinet.

The fractal analysis of the markets is used in the indicator operation algorithm. According to the fractals theory, after the breakthrough of the fractal level confirmed by the closing price located below or above the fractal, the trend wave in the direction of the breakthrough starts to develop. Until the fractal has been passed in the opposite direction, the trend is considered to be acting even if the price is flat or moves backwards. If a bullish fractal has been previously broken through on

Calculate Stochastic Formula on a array (non indicator buffer array) - is iStochastic
I need to calculate the stochastic formula on a array, this array is not a indicator buffered array. This is my code:
COTIndexPeriod=13, //similar to Stochastic %K period
ArrayResize(SmallestBuffer, ArraySize(Commercial));
ArrayResize(LargestBuffer, ArraySize(Commercial));
ArrayResize(COTIndex, ArraySize(Commercial));
for (i= ArraySize(Commercial)-COTIndexPeriod; i >= 0; i--)
position = ArrayMinimum(Commercial, COTIndexPeriod, i+COTIndexPeriod-1);
SmallestBuffer = Commercial[position];
//Print("Smallest: ", SmallestBuffer, " Index: ", i);
for (i= ArraySize(Commercial)-COTIndexPeriod; i >= 0; i--)
position = ArrayMaximum(Commercial, COTIndexPeriod, i+COTIndexPeriod-1);
LargestBuffer = Commercial[position];
//Print("Largest: ", LargestBuffer, " Index: ", i);
for (i= ArraySize(Commercial)-COTIndexPeriod; i >= 0; i--)
//for (i= ArraySize(Commercial)-1; i > 0; i--)
//position = ArrayMaximum(Commercial, COTIndexPeriod, i+COTIndexPeriod-1);
double top = Commercial-SmallestBuffer;
double bottom = LargestBuffer-SmallestBuffer;
if(bottom == 0.0) //prevent divide by zero errors
{ bottom=100.0; }
COTIndex = (top/bottom)*100;
Print("COTIndex: ", COTIndex, " Index: ", i);
ExtMapBuffer1 = COTIndex; //graph it
So the goal is to have the Stochastic value stored in the COTIndex array. However, the calculated values are in incorrect. Does anyone have a Stochastic-On-Array (iStochOnArray) implementation? or maybe does anyone see where the logical problem is on my code? I'm stuck and would greatly appreciate any help!
Thank you
I modified DigiStoch a little bit so you can choose mode sma, ema, smma, or lwma. And you get to choose high/low or close/close in the pricefield.
do you realise the Stoch can be placed — like all other indicators
in its own window below price bars

I don't want to squash your idea but I don't think a diaphragm pump be satisfactory. If you feel otherwise then build it & let me know how it performs.
In my exhaustive research I learned there are 2 or 3 type of pump for high vulome, high viscous fluid. An internal or external gear pump, mine being the external type, and a lobe pump. If I recall correctly a diaphragm pump will cause a lot of pulsation in the output if it is a size pump that will provide the volume*whicb, again if I recall, is about 16 GPM for the system I made. A small diaphragm pump doesn't pulsate as much but doesn't provide the volume.
Just passing on what, I think, I learned.
Ideally a direct mount pump with integrated gear reduction would be so much easier to build. My problem was budget and not knowing for sure what speed reduction I would needs for syrup.
Good luck.
Oh-to he poster before you I like the idea of a small stub at the drain. I'd like to try a version but one with a ,"U" turn so there is even less chance of particles suspended in the liquid to get in the supply.
In reality I'll continue with how it is setup now. It really seems to be hassle free and, in my personal experience, going forward sometimes means going backward.
I am almost always tempted to fix things that aren't broken. In this case I'll try to avoid this tendency due to having a machine I am more than happy with plus having a bit of burnout. .

Welcome to AURA - Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments
AURA derives from the energy which you will be experiencing as a visitor.
First and most important is the energy that flows from the Acropolis of Athens. The view to it is stunning from the living room and the bedroom as well as from the roof top terrace and the swimming pool. It also derives from the renewable geothermal and solar energy systems that were designed to insure heating and cooling, domestic hot water production and swimming pool heating in an environment-friendly way. Last but not least, positive energy is emitted from your hosts and owners who are trying not just to be accommodating but treat you as their own guests. It is only normal the mix has created the Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments.
The apartment is situated on the 6th floor. To visit Athens, it is ideally located in the area of Thission, a residential area at close proximity to all major points of interest during your stay.
Thission is actually the most appealing of all neighborhoods in the center of Athens, for visitors as well as for Athenians. It combines the serenity of the archaeological sites, the pedestrian streets, the neoclassical houses, the museums and art galleries, with the lively cafes and bars, the Athenian family walks during the weekends, and the open air craft market.
The apartment is literally 10 minutes' walk from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Acropolis museum and other sites, through Apostolou Pavlou and Dionyssiou Areopagitou pedestrian streets. They are characterized as offering one the top most beautiful city walks in Europe. A variety of shops (grocery, bakery, bookstore and many others) as well as some excellent tavernas / restaurants and cafes are found at a 2minutes walk from the penthouse. The owner will be happy to suggest them to you. And if you wish to experience an open air movie theater, Athens Cine Thission has been rated by BBC as one of the 10 most beautiful cinemas in the world (open May-September).
The apartment has direct access to a private terrace refreshed with potted herbs and a cozy little corner to enjoy some nice appetizers. It also leads to the roof top terrace and the swimming pool which are shared with another AURA apartment. The olive, orange and lemon trees and the bevy of chirping birds complement the amazing view to the Acropolis, to the Athens Observatory and to the whole of Attica till the south sea coast. The swimming pool is enjoyed throughout the year as it is heated and covered during the winter season. A unique feeling no other apartment offers in Athens' historic centre.
The view to the Acropolis especially at night is stunning from the living room's sofa as from your pillows when you decide to rest after a wonderful day of exploration.
Amenities also include:
Heating and cooling through fun coils, free Wi-Fi and satellite TV, CD and DVD players. The kitchen is fully equipped with ceramic hobs, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, cutlery, dishes and pans, kettle, French coffee maker, and toaster. Bed linen and bath towels are provided. A spacious walk in closet is designed to make your stay even more comfortable and to keep your luggage, ironing board and iron out of the way. Private parking is available for free in the building's parking lot, upon request. Finally a spacious elevator serves the 6th floor.
Your hosts, genuine, openhearted Athenians will treat you with the traditional Greek hospitality and will be happy to arrange for you tailor made day trips, in and around Athens. A number of services are available upon request at an extra but very reasonable cost, including cleaning service and breakfast served at the apartment or personal trainer and spa treatments.
6.5% VAT is already included in the price.
Airport transport or any other transport is available upon demand at an additional but very reasοnable cost.
住宿规定The guests in general must respect the property. Smoking is not allowed. Pets are welcomed upon prior arrangement. For everything you might need, I am 24 hours a day on call. The keys will be deliverd upon arrival and I will personally explain you everything you need to know for the apartment.
|Check-in before
The apartment looks exactly like the photos show. In general it was very tidy, clean and modernly refurbished, although some devices were out of order (oven, half cooker...). We also missed a microwave.
The blinds kept the apartment completely dark at night and only a small and discontinuous sound from the fridge could annoy people with sleep problems. But it was not a problem at all for my fiancée and me.
The only inconvenience we found was the location. The apartment is a bit far from the city centre (45 minutes by walking) and the closest metro station is 10 minutes by walking.
All in all, I would recommend this apartment. However, if I would gone back to Athens I'd try to stay in an apartment better located.
The apartment is in a convenient central location and George was helpful in arranging transfers which was much appreciated. First impressions wasn't so good though, apartment is not much bigger than a hotel room and not as "High-End" as I imagined, bed hadn't been made (we had to make it), linen for bed wrong size with pillow sheets missing, cleaning clothes left on floor, some power points weren't working or absent where expected (e.g. kitchen) and the inside door handle would come off in your hand if not careful. However, Athens hotels are expensive so the apartment represented reasonable value, and we may have been the exception re our issues.
The apartment was very comfortable. It was very accessible and in a great location. I would stay here again with ought a doubt. The only negative comment I could make on the apartment is that the hot water tank was not sufficient for one to wash before running out of hot water. All went well until the morning we had to leave. We were not told that the front building door is bolted at night and therefore when we left to get our taxi at 7am we were locked in. Thankfully the taxi driver helped us by ringing everyones door bell until someone came to help. Otherwise we would have lost our plane. The emergency door leading to the basement was also bolted. Shudder to think what would happen if there was an emergency evacuation scenario.So before vacating the apartment for good please remember to check that the front building door is not bolted shut.
The hotel was great! The area is a bit noisy, but you get used to it, the crowd that had begun at dawn. The beach was close but it was pretty crowded and messy so I had to go out every day can get away from beaches to search. The city, the bazaar is 10 minutes away by car. It was nice but a shame that such garbage, this was a bit dirty there would be observed.
The accommodation, receiving the keys was discussed according to each, it was absolutely fine !!!
The apartment is very good, near the metro that takes you to the center of Athens ... There is a bakery, pharmacy, cafes and a supermarket well next, George proved to be a good person and the next door neighbor has treated us very well and willing any kind of help.
We stayed at this beautiful apartment and we definitely would repeat. We didnt meet George, but we knew Panos, a great host. It was really beautiful and near Everything (shopping streets, bus stops, taxis, and walking it's 4 km away from the tourist part. Wifi was a little bit bad but we cant find something bad on this apartment. Thank you Panos! ;)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We spend one beautiful week in Athens and the appartement in Kallithea provided for all our needs. A little balcony, air-cond., tv, a kitchen and a clean bathroom with washingmachine. The friendly owner was very polite and answered all our questions with a pleasant smile. Close to the appartement you`ll find a lovely bakery, a supermarket, a freddocino coffeshop and the best pita in town! With the bus stopping just in the next street, we could reach either the Akropolis or the beach within 15 min.
BTW: The allready tuned-in radiostation "Pepper 96,6" is fantastic!
George thank you very much for everything!
The apartment is better than it looks in the photos and owner very helpful at all times, answering the mobile phone and offering to provide an airport transfer.
Great and recommended.
From there you can visit the Acropolis perfectly fair because there are buses ali lelvan you up in 15 minutes off.
Excellent host! Great communication, and great welcome!

Does anyone watch Dexter? Great season far.
This season has been so much better than the last one so far.
Either way, it is really one of those shows they could keep making for a long time. I wonder how many more seasons we will get?
Especially with what happened at the beginning of this season.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
Next season should be the last one, which was confirmed by the crew during the summer from what I remember. So this season and next season. I'm not sure how they can further progress the story.
What a fantastic episode. Really love the fact that Dexter was so angry and he cremated that guy.
I think Deb really is going to start to be OK with the fact of what he is, but then again the previews of next week's episode didn't seem like it.
I love this show because I find it harder to predict future events...some shows are so easy to predict what will happen next
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
I just find that a lot of it is so fake. That maze for Dexter was pretty awesome. That guy is a sick person and glad he's dead.

United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner
Eastern District of California

Leader of Federal Student Loan Fraud Ring Pleads Guilty to Mail Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced that Nakesha Sharrieff, aka Takiyah Raheem and Asiya Hanifah Kahan, 24, of Sacramento, pleaded guilty today before Senior United States District Judge William B. Shubb to a conspiracy to commit student loan fraud and aggravated identity theft. Sharrieff is the fourth defendant in the case to plead guilty.
This case is the product of an extensive investigation by the United States Department of Education, Office of the Inspector General and the Los Rios Community College Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jean M. Hobler is prosecuting the case.
Sharrieff admitted in her guilty plea that she began participating in a scheme to obtain federal student loan funds in September 2004, and eventually led the scheme herself. Sharrieff began by submitting an application for student loan funds for community college, although she had no intention of attending and never did attend classes. Once Sharrieff took over the scheme, she obtained others' personal information, with or without their consent, and used recruiters, including co-defendants Jarmal Duplessis, 22; Teaona Williams, 24; Hoa "Tasha" Kelly, 24; and Jewel Minor, 24, all of Sacramento, to recruit additional "straw" students to provide personal information for the purpose of fraudulently applying for and obtaining additional federal financial aid. Sharrieff also used the addresses of Williams, Kelly, and Minor, among others, to apply for funds, and to avoid detection by having too many applications associated with a single address. Sharrieff split the student loan funds with the "straw" students, who in some cases also paid part of the proceeds to the recruiter who brought them into the scheme.
In one instance, Sharrieff used stolen personal information of a woman with no connection to Sharrieff, applied for and obtained aid in her name, and got a student identification card with Sharrieff's picture but with the victim's name, for the purpose of cashing aid checks issued in the victim's name. In total, Sharrieff fraudulently applied for federal financial aid funds for more than 60 people, the majority of whom willingly participated in the scheme. The total federal financial aid funds paid to Sharrieff and her co-conspirators in the scheme exceeded $200,000.
Five other defendants were charged in the case; three of whom have already pleaded guilty. Co-defendant Duplessis pleaded guilty on August 9, 2010 and was sentenced on November 8, 2010 to nine months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $23,294.70 in restitution. Minor pleaded guilty on September 27, 2010 and on December 13, 2010, was sentenced to two years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $118,843.72 in restitution. Thomas Keys, 23, of Sacramento, pleaded guilty on October 4, 2010, and is expected to be sentenced on March 7, 2011. Charges are pending against co-defendants Kelly and Williams.
"In these tough economic times, many Americans want to improve their circumstances by getting a college education, and many can only do so through the federal financial aid program," said United States Attorney Wagner. "Fraudulent student loan schemes like Nakesha Sharrieff's steal that opportunity from hard-working Americans, depriving real students of financial assistance and spots in the classroom. We take these crimes very seriously, and will prosecute those who game the system to make a quick dollar."
Sharrieff is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Shubb on May 16, 2011, at 8:30 a.m. For the loan fraud conspiracy, she faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both. For the identity theft, Sharrieff is facing a mandatory two-year prison term, consecutive to the sentence imposed for the fraud. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
As to the charged defendants, the charges are only allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

In this recipe, the chicken is first split and then butterflied (flattened), a technique that allows for quicker and more uniform cooking. Rather than cutting through the breastbone, flip the chicken over and use kitchen shears to cut down the backbone. Once the chicken is cut, it will open up and lie flat on the grill for even cooking.

I have dry irritated skin in the winter and was looking for a natural product to help. I purchased this and started using it and noticed an immediate difference. Ultra-comforting is a correct description for this creme; when I put it on it just makes my skin feel better, plus I haven't had the dry skin problems that I've dealt with in previous years. I will keep on buying this and recommend it to anyone I know.

Love it! Although it says it is okay to use as a face moisturizer, it left my face a little ruddy. However, I live in a very very very dry climate and my back, legs, and arms sometimes sting with the dryness and this cream stopped that immediately and lasts all day long.

Very good moisture keeping cream

I have used organic oils and handmade cosmetics for a while, but I feel it is not enough to keep my skin moisture for this dry&cold season. Now, I am very satisfied using this creme. I usually use this cream directly after washing my face, and put on some olive oil. It is the simplest and works very well.
Love it

I'm a year old male so I am more interested in just keeping my skin from drying out during the day. I purchase this product after buying many others with all kinds of extra ingredients that were supposed to keep the skin moisturized. None of those creams worked and some irritated my skin. This cream is absorbed by the skin quickly and my skin stays hydrated all day long. I will definitely buy this again.
Good stuff

I really like this cream...kind of stumbled into getting it but now I think I will want to keep it on-hand all the time. Great for hands, body and even face. Light scent, great texture.

First, when I put it on, I kind of felt little bit of burning sensation and dryness. So, I stopped using it for my face and was going to use it as body cream. However, I recently had a skin trouble (allergic reaction) from one of my cosmetic product, and I just tried this cream again by knowing that aloe Vera is a good healing ingredient for the skin. Then, wow… it really did heal my skin in very short period time. Not only that, it made my skin dewy, and made it so soft. I was keep using it since then. Before, I was putting so many different things to the skin. Once I clean it with the cleanser, then, I put face tonner, then, serum, then, eye cream, and couple of different creams. Sometimes, more…. Now, I am only using eye cream (other brand) and this aloe Vera cream, and I feel my skin condition is much better. First, you might feel little dryness with this cream, but, actually, I think it hydrates better than any other cream that I have used.

Creamy but not heavy. Very lubricating with no strong scent. One container lasts a long time. I use it morning and night and wouldn't be without it.

A couple of weeks ago I went through one of my ooold hives (not mine anymore)- we installed this thing in spring 2002 and have never treated it with chemicals and have had no mite or disease problems. It's booming (mostly brood at this point- the beekeepers say that last year it produced lots of bees and not as much honey as should be expected).
I got a photo from that session that I particularly like- and someone on this forum asked me for a photo of one of our urban TBH's.
feel free to use it for other websites or whatever.
Here my friends are going through it with our homemade veils and one homemade TBH hive tool (longer than normal, though you might not be able to tell in the photo). THe tool is made from a piece of scrap metal that's been pounded with the use of a bike-powered (for the blower) coal forge that we built a few years back (you dont' really need such a device to bend some metal, but it was fun) . We all eventually graduated to storebought smokers, but for a few years we built those too out of tall metal cans and homemade bellows made from 'pleather' scavenged from a purse or two found in the local trash.
ALso in the photo, we've removed about 4 or 5 combs already and put them into a nuc not visible here. That's the BACK of the hive they're working at, and it's mid-March. The hive box was FULL to within one or two combs, and we've had a 'bad winter' to boot.
It reminds me of the discussion a month or so ago where one Langstroth troll was saying we TBH'ers have slow buildup because of lack of foundation and Dennis was saying that he's observed quicker comb drawing without foundation under some circumstances. I think this hive falls under that latter rule.
Some of my friends and former beekeeping partners from when I first started, own several four-year-old hives now that have survived with no disease and no chemical treatments (and haven't had real losses to speak of either). I"m going to try and photograph the brood nests of these to see what cell size has had to do with it, though we didn't know about small cell until recently and so weren't intentionally regressing anything during that time.
Unfortunately, my first attempt at cell measurement photos of this boomer hive didn't turn out well.
I think we're also going to experiment with supering TBH's this year. Any suggestions?

Part 1, Chapter 1 Summary
Anuradha Roy's first novel to be published in the United States, An Atlas of Impossible Longing (2011), is set in India and follows the lives of three generations of a middle-class family. Carol Haggas, writing for Booklist, described Roy's debut novel as being "incandescently evocative" and "filled with wrenching tragedy as well as abiding passion."
The novel is divided into three parts. The first part is called "The Drowned House." In Chapter 1 of Part 1, the story focuses on Amulya, who is described as a learned man who left his family's home in Calcutta twenty years ago to set up a business in a small country town at the edge of the jungle, Songarh. Living with Amulya is his wife, Kananbala, and their two sons, Kamal and Nirmal. The business that Amulya has established in Songarh produces herbal potions and pills. At the opening of the novel, it is 1927, and Amulya is sitting uncomfortably at a party given by some of his workers. Amulya feels obliged to be at the tribal celebration so as to demonstrate his understanding and acceptance of local customs. But Amulya is not a social person and is anxious to leave. When he is finally able to excuse himself, it is late.
Kananbala is waiting for him. She attempts to disguise her anger and suspicion that her husband has been flirting with local girls at the party. Kananbala is frustrated because her husband spends less time at home than he used to, and she spends most of her time in the house with little to do. There are no neighbors with whom Kananbala can develop relationships. Larissa and Digby Barnum live across the street, but they are British, and the two families do not speak to one another; there are both language and cultural barriers between them. However, because she is bored, Kananbala often watches the Barnums out of her bedroom window. She keeps tabs on the strange clothes they wear and how they treat their Indian servants. Mr. Barnum is...

Part 1, Chapter 2 Summary
Nirmal has been married for a year and a half now, and his wife, Shanti, is expecting their baby. Nirmal, who has been teaching at the university, has become interested in archeology and is applying for a job with the Archaeological Survey of India. In the midst of his filling out the application, he begins to reflect on the changes in his recent life. He expresses his awe to Shanti of the dramatic transitions he has gone through. A year and a half ago, he was single. Now his is married and about to become a father. A year and a half ago, his mother was normal. Now she is confined to her room because her communications with her family have become so radical.
The focus moves to Nirmal's mother, Kananbala, who is sitting in her room and watching the Barnum family across the street. Mr. Barnum is in a bad mood and yells at his servants. When his wife approaches him and tries to quiet him, Mr. Barnum slaps her across the face.
On several other occasions, Kananbala takes note of the various fancy dresses Mrs. Barnum wears each night that she and her husband go out. Kananbala waits up for them so she can witness their return. Mrs. Barnum often looks uneasy on her feet, swaggering across the lawn and having to be led through the front gate. Sometimes the Barnums entertain guests at their home. Kananbala watches to see who attends, hoping she will recognize someone she knew, but she never does.
Kananbala notices that there are weeks when Mr. Barnum appears to be out of town. For long stretches of days, Kananbala does not see him. During these absences, however, Mrs. Barnum continues to go out. Later, Larissa Barnum returns with a man Kananbala does not recognize. She can hear them laughing. One night, Mrs. Barnum points up to Kananbala's window and waves. The stranger waves too.
This arrangement continues for a long time. Mr. Barnum disappears, and Larissa Barnum spends as much of her time as possible with the...

Part 1, Chapter 3 Summary
Due to a lack of reliable witnesses, the police do not have enough information to bring anyone to trial for Mr. Barnum's murder. After investigating the local population, the police discover that many people disliked the Barnums, but no one stands out as a possible suspect. The young lover, in the meantime, flees to Calcutta, and the police lose his trail. People who knew the man suggest that he might have gone to Australia. With this lack of information, the murder is quickly forgotten. The only one who thinks of it is Kananbala, who often worries about the story she made up about the night of the murder. She hopes she has not gotten anyone in trouble, especially not Larissa Barnum. Because she is not allowed out of her house—and rarely even out of her room—Kananbala has no way of hearing the gossip surrounding the case.
Nirmal and Shanti are preparing for their baby's birth. In accordance with tradition, Shanti has returned to her family's home for the occasion. Shanti's mother had died when she was very young, so she will be under the care of her father and her aunt. Most of Nirmal's family, with the exception of his mother who does not pay much attention to anything but her own thoughts, is anxiously awaiting the new baby—the first child of the third generation.
Manjula, Kamal's wife, is not as excited, nor is she looking forward to the event. She and her husband tried everything to have their own child. Her sense of loss is increased with the anticipated new arrival. Majula thinks she must have done something to irritate the gods, so over the years, she has tried to make amends. She has fasted, prayed, and made offerings at both Sufi and Devi temples. Now she has been married more than three years and is somewhat resigned to being barren. As she prepares to have a new baby in the house, she grows more stern. Her workload will increase, and she has no one to help her. She bemoans the fact that her mother-in-law...

Part 1, Chapter 4 Summary
The scene changes to Shanti's family home in Manoharpur in rural Bengal. Her father's home sits at the edge of a river that, to Shanti's mind, seems to widen each year, slowly rising closer and closer to the foundation of the house. Her father tells her not to worry. The house is strongly built. But when Shanti walks along the edge of the river, she sees that the steps where she used to play with her school friends are now under water. She imagines seeing her childhood friends standing on the submerged staircase. When an image of her own face appears under the water, she runs away in fright.
Bikash Babu, Shanti's father, is entertaining an old acquaintance and feeling slightly nostalgic about his past. When Bikash had his mansion built with its many pillars and Roman arches, he had a lot of money. Now most of that money is gone. Most of what is left is tied up in the house. Bikash refuses to notice how threatened the house has become by the rising river. He dismisses the concerns about the mildewed, crumbling, wet walls. He ignores the swayed ceilings, signs that the river has already saturated the foundation of the house and the moisture has been absorbed by the floors and the walls. Bikash explains to his visitor that he has had engineers examine the lay of the land around his house. They reported that the house was safe for at least another two generations.
A storm is gathering. As Shanti takes a nap, the wind picks up and bends the trees and slams doors shut. A maid is sitting out on the veranda to enjoy a few quiet moments between meals. She is surprised by the quick movements of the large, black clouds moving across the skies. After it rains for three days with no sign of letting up, people begin commenting on how unusual the weather is, even for monsoon season. Bikash yells at his servants when he has to point out that the legs of the chairs on the veranda are standing in water. He orders that the chairs be removed. A...

Part 1, Chapter 5 Summary
The story returns to Songarh, where Mrs. Barnum has walked across the street to visit her neighbor, Kananbala. None of the other members of the family are aware of Mrs. Barnum's presence because one of the servants opened the door to her and showed her to Kananbala's room. Mrs. Barnum invites Kananbala to come for a visit. The two women do not share a common language, so servants must translate. What they do not vocalize, Kananbala assumes through gesture and tone of voice. Although she is somewhat startled by Larissa Barnum, she is also exhilarated by the idea of going out.
Without asking permission from anyone, Kananbala does what Mrs. Barnum invites her to do. She descends the stairs, walks out of the house, and...

Part 2, Chapter 1 Summary
Eleven years have passed. Amulya's household is now headed by his oldest son, Kamal. Nirmal, the second son, is living in another, undisclosed city. He has been traveling most of these eleven years. He stops at home only briefly to check on his daughter and then disappears again. He works as an archaeologist and has traveled all over most of Asia.
Also living in the family home are Kananbala and Manjula. The additions to the family include Bakul, Nirmal's daughter, who is now eleven; Meera, a widow who was asked to come to the home to act as mother to Bakul; and Mukunda, the boy born out of wedlock that Amulya had once supported at the local orphanage. In his will, Amulya stated that Mukunda should be supported by...

Part 2, Chapter 2 Summary
After not having seen his daughter for five years, Nirmal returns home. He tells Bakul that he has come back for good. The last time he saw her, she was only six years old. Now she is almost a teenager and has lost all the chubbiness of her childhood. He barely recognizes her except for her wildly curly hair and the color of her eyes, which are both characteristics from her mother. When he greets her, Bakul is standoffish. She does not trust her father; he is little more than a stranger to her. In addition, she is angry that he has not previously wanted to be home with her. Nirmal offers Bakul a gift, a stone the same color of her eyes, he tells her. When Nirmal is not looking, Bakul throws the stone into the water well.

Nirmal is so distracted by Meera that he has trouble concentrating on his job at the fort. Every lunchtime he slips away from his office and goes in search of Meera, hoping to find her doing more sketches. One day he asks her if he can see her work. Meera is embarrassed at first but allows him to see some of her landscape drawings. In the process, Nirmal also glimpses portraits she has made of him. These sketches are more than mere images. They are created with passionate strokes and gestures, through which Nirmal interprets that Meera is in love with him. Nirmal suggests that Meera make sketches of the fort. Nirmal can use the drawings in his work, and he thinks this is another way to keep Meera close to him. Maybe if she is...

Part 2, Chapter 4 Summary
The next time Nirmal and Meera meet at the fort, Nirmal brings a surprise. He hands Meera a lunch tin and tells her to open it. Inside, Meera finds fried fish, one of the forbidden foods. She is embarrassed and turns away from the food, but Nirmal insists that she try it. Reluctantly, she breaks off a small piece and turns her face away from him when she chews it. She is, of course, delighted, and the act of defiance fills her with joy.
Meanwhile, Mukunda is agitated by curiosity. He must find proof of either Mrs. Barnum's innocence or guilt. He waits for the right time, when she is busy in another part of the house, and he ascends to her bedroom. He is searching for more letters when Mrs. Barnum discovers him. She...

Part 3, Chapter 1 Summary
The setting shifts to Calcutta and now the book focuses on Mukunda as he matures into adulthood. The longing mentioned in the title is Mukunda's longing. He knows nothing of his family. He does not even know for sure the date of his birth. Although has lived in many different places, he has never really had a home. The closest he came to having a family and a home was when he was living with Nirmal and Bakul, but he was forced to leave them. This leaves him with very passionate longings to belong.
While in Calcutta at school, Mukunda made a friend with a young man his own age named Arif. When they graduate and Arif must leave the city, he introduces Mukunda to his landlord, who offers to let Mukunda stay in a room in...

Barababu sends Mukunda to an acquaintance, Aangti Babu. He is a somewhat unscrupulous businessman but he offers Mukunda a job. Mukunda apprentices under Aangati Babu, who buys and sells property; sometimes he tears houses down to sell pieces of it, but he leaves the rubble behind. Part of the business also often entails throwing people out of their houses because they cannot make the payments or have in some other way lost ownership.
With the influx of immigrants, there is a constant demand for housing, so Aangti's business is very profitable. Mukunda learns the business, and eventually Aangati Babu trusts him with more complicated responsibilities.

It has been twelve years since Mukunda left Songarh. He travels back in a train, the same way he once left all that he ever had as a home. When he arrives in Songarh, he is surprised at how small everything looks: the train station, the town, the streets. He has grown used to living in Calcutta.
He goes to Nirmal's house, but Nirmal and Bakul are not there. A small boy answers the door when Mukunda knocks but says he cannot come in. He has been given orders not to allow anyone inside the house.

Part 3, Chapter 4 Summary
Back in Calcutta, Mukunda goes to Aangti and makes a deal: He offers Aangti his house in Calcultta in exchange for Nirmal's house in Songarh, plus some cash to make up the difference because the house in Calcutta is worth more. Aangti agrees, though he offers Mukunda a little less cash than Mukunda requested.
At home, Mukunda writes a letter to Nirmal; he does not tell him the details but only the results. The family home is now in Nirmal's name. He can live there as long as he wants. Nirmal responds and tells Mukunda how grateful he is. In some ways, this makes Mukunda uneasy; he thinks Nirmal sounds weak. But Mukunda is glad that Bakul is now safe.

It takes a while to remember him, but there standing in front of him was Suleiman, the Muslim man who had left Mukunda his house. The woman inside the office is Suleiman's wife.

text: Final state budget for FY12 is signed On July 11, the governor signed the 2012 state budget for the new fiscal year. The $30.6 billion budget represents the fourth year in a row of budget cuts as a result of the recession and declining revenues. In FY11, federal stimulus funds helped the state provide needed funding for essential services, but such funding is not available this year. The budget gap between maintaining current services and expected revenues is nearly $2 billion. In order to have a balanced budget as required by law, the governor and the Legislature chose to make significant cuts to local aid, higher education and safety net programs rather than to increase state revenues. The loss of federal monies that helped protect higher education last year is not made up by state dollars this year. As a result, there was a final cut of 6.6 percent ($61.5 million) to college campus accounts. Chapter 70 spending for preK-12 is slightly more than in FY11. Local aid was initially cut by 7 percent for all communities. However, due to unanticipated revenues at the end of the fiscal year, there will be additional funds going to cities and towns this fall, up to $65 million. Early education sustained a small cut, while most education grant programs are level-funded, with several increases to mitigate the cuts to local aid. The final budget for Chapter 70, local aid, higher education and most grant programs is essentially the same as that originally proposed by the governor in House 1. Municipal Health Insurance Language modifying the way municipal health insurance is negotiated was included in both the House and Senate versions of the budget. On July 1, the Legislature passed the House/Senate conference budget. The proposal included a plan that was opposed by the Public Employees' Coalition on Municipal Health Insurance, in which the MTA is a key player. We asked the governor to provide additional protections through an amendment. On July 11, the governor sent the Legislature amendments providing greater protection from excessive out-of-pocket expenses for the sickest employees and retirees, increasing labor's voice in the process and further protecting the quality of plans offered by municipalities. On July 12, the governor signed the amended version of the legislation, which will save Massachusetts cities and towns an estimated $100 million in the first year. [More on the municipal health insurance provisions.] PreK-12 Education Chapter 70 – State Aid to Local School DistrictsChapter 70 is reduced from current FY11 funding levels (from $4.47 to $3.99 billion, a decrease of $82 million) as a result of the loss of $221 million in federal stimulus money. The state's share of Chapter 70 in FY11 was $3.85 billion. While Chapter 70 funding was cut, the funding is sufficient to keep all school districts at the required foundation spending levels. Other Local Aid – Unrestricted General Government Aid In addition to Chapter 70 funds, cities and towns receive state funds through local aid. In some communities, as much as 50 percent of this other local aid helps pay for public schools. The FY12 budget funds local aid to cities and towns (Unrestricted General Government Local Aid) at $834 million. This is a $65 million decrease from FY11 and will be restored when unanticipated revenues from FY11 go to cities and towns in the fall. PreK-12 Education Grant Programs Special Education Circuit Breaker: The final budget funds the Special Education Circuit Breaker program at $213 million, an $80 million increase from the current FY11 budget. Regional School Transportation: Funding has been increased by $3 million over the FY11 level of $40.5 million, to $43.5 million. MCAS Supports: There is an increase of over 5 percent from FY11, from $9 million to $9.5 million. Most other line items were level-funded at the FY11 level, including: Full-Day Kindergarten, which is funded at the FY11 level of $22.9 million. Expanded Learning Time, which is funded at the FY11 level of $13.9 million. METCO, which is funded at the FY11 level of $17.6 million. Early Education and CareThe final budget makes a small cut to the budget for Early Education and Care, reducing funding by $3.6 million to $506.6 million, a reduction of less than 1 percent. Higher Education Campus Line ItemsThe budget funds each campus at a level which, with assumed tuition retention, holds each campus at its FY11 state appropriation. This is a cut of 6.6 percent, or $61.5 million, since federal stimulus monies used in FY11 to fund higher education will not be available in FY12. This means a 6.6 percent cut to the University of Massachusetts, an average cut of 5.7 percent cut to our state universities and a 7.5 percent cut to each community college. Scholarship ProgramThe program is funded at $87.6 million, down $1.9 million from the FY11 budget, a 2 percent cut. This cut apparently helped to fund a new line item, the "Performance Management Set Aside" of $2.5 million to begin to implement the Board of Higher Education's "Vision Project." Employee Benefits Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA): The budget provides for a 3 percent increase on the first $12,000 in pension benefits for retired state employees.

For years, Simpsons fans (who are rabid and multitudinous) have been clamoring
for a good Simpsons game. So far, they have been let down. Game developer after
game developer has taken the Simpsons license and churned out crap, and in some
cases, worse than crap. So, as a particularly rabid Simpsons fan myself, I am
pleased to announce that The Simpsons Road Rage is the best Simpsons
game made. Too bad that's not saying much.
It seems to me that anyone trying to make a Simpsons game faces two major challenges.
The first problem has plagued the manufacturers of plush toys and other novelties
since the show first came out: Matt Groening's odd cartoon characters translate
terribly into 3D. Lisa's head, for example, always ends up looking like a plastic
yellow puffer fish.
The other problem is even more fundamental: What kind of game do you make?
The lack of any obvious answer has led to a string of lame platformers, some
dumb little action games, a bowling game, and a very, very bad wrestling
game. Exhibiting another profound lack of creativity, the developers of
Road Rage have made a Crazy Taxi clone.
The wealthy tyrant Mr. Burns has taken
over Springfield's public transportation system and filled the streets with
nuclear buses to drive people around. This is bad because'well'I guess because
Mr. Burns did it. So the town of Springfield is out to stop him by turning all
their cars into taxis. Ok OK, so Shakespeare
didn't write the plot and it's basically just an excuse to get everyone speeding
around in taxis. Fortunately for the developers, Crazy Taxi is a pretty
good game and The Simpsons do a decent job of recreating it, at least while
you're actually playing.
For those of you who have never seen Crazy Taxi, here's how it works:
You pick a driver (in this case, a Simpsons character) and drive their car around
Springfield like a maniac, picking up passengers and dropping them off for money.
The faster you get them there, the bigger your bonus, but run out of time and
it's game over. It's fast and fun.
The graphics, however, are pretty mediocre. I don't fault the game for it's
bland textures because the cartoon has simple colors and the game does a decent
job of looking like the show. But the edges are pretty grainy and there are
some odd graphical glitches, like Ralph Wiggum,
who looks like he is wearing a hat made out of bees.
sound is great at first, with plenty of new original recordings by the real
cast members. And with more than 30 Simpsons characters making an appearance,
from Professor Frink to Mayor
Quimby, there's a lot of dialogue. The best conversations are specific to
particular pairs of characters when they recognize each other and say more meaningful
things. But most of the time they just say the same random quotes, and while
there are a lot of them, they'll start repeating themselves pretty quickly and
you'll start wishing they'd just shut up for a while.
The Simpsons: Road Rage also improves on Crazy Taxi by making
it bigger. There are 18 characters total, most of whom you unlock during the
game when you get enough money, and each has their own unique vehicle. There
are six large areas of Springfield to explore. There's a "mission mode" where
you have 10 tasks to complete, like using Otto
and his school bus to "knock over 10 street lamps in 30 seconds." Finally, there's
a split screen two-player mode which Crazy Taxi never had.
But the best part of the game is that the developers are obviously Simpsons
fans themselves - the game is a wealth of Simpsons trivia. They've tried to
keep the virtual Springfield as true to the show as possible. From the Kwik-E-Mart
to the Frying Dutchman, Simpsons fans
will recognize common and not-so-common locations. Drive into the hills above
Springfield and the real nerds will recognize Kamp Krusty, the Stonecutters
Lodge and Rancho Relaxo.
The developers took the same care with the drivers and their cars. Chief Wiggum's
police car and Homer's family sedan are obvious, but the aficionados will love
Marge's Canyonero, Apu's
70's Firebird and Barney in the Plow
So it seems like we have a pretty solid game here. Not brilliant, but fun
and dorky, maybe a "B." But there's a horrible curse on this game: the worst"
loading times" ever. You can spend more time waiting around than actually
playing Road Rage. There's a long load time before and after
every single game, and each game is only a couple of minutes long. Mission mode
is even worse; to play a 30 second timed mission, you have to wait for 40 seconds
for it to load! Better not fail, or you'll have to wait again every time you
retry. Even one of Grandpa's interminable
stories is less boring.
All this makes The Simpsons Road Rage a perfect rental for Simpson
fans, but I wouldn't want to buy it. In just a few days you can unlock all the
bonuses, explore virtual Springfield to your heart's content and suffer through
what will add up to hours and hours of loading time. After the fun wears off,
you'll find Road Rage feels more like stop and go traffic.

Now lets get ready for Philly!!!:suxiggle: :suxiggle: :suxiggle:
Happy happy Joy Joy
I'm really impressed the Titans aren't using their timeouts like so many other blown out teams do.
i'm not sure i can handle the moxie
And still not a regular season pass thrown by ROMO......if the backup is only going to hand off I could do it for alot less money too..... Give me a call Bill, numbers in the book
TO gave his shoes to PacMan after the game. What's that all about?
LMAO!!! TO takes his shoes off and gives them to Pacman Jones after the game. Did I hear that right off of the radio!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo 45-14
Maybe a bet between them ? Pac is a good guy ..... none of the players take his talk seriously.
I was sweating until Romo made that first down.
Man I am so impressed with our 2nd half today
So much for the Aints being undefeated....... 20-10 Panthers
Maybe. But they said on the radio that Pacman was just standing there looking at TO's shoes as he run off the field headed for the locker room.
I think BP kicked some butt during the half.
Hey, you watch the game your way, I'll watch it my way.
I'm the type that is never comfortable until the clock reads 0:00.
Way to go Cowboys!
This is a good demonstration of a mature and talented team.
Not letting the Titans take the momentum and come back in the 2nd half.
I can't remember the last time the Boys scored this many points.
Relish this performance fans.....RELISH IT!
Beautiful performance 2-1 going to a big game against the Eagles GO BOYS
Seattle game a couple years comes to mind 43-39 game.

Palestinian Rights in Israel
Original post made by Boaz, Greater Miranda, on Dec 14, 2006
Web Link
Basically the Israeli Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that Palestinians have the right to sue the Israeli military for damages caused by some of its operations in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
So let's ask the question, do the Jews who used the live in the surrounding arab countries before they were expelled have the rights to sue? Forgetting about that, do the arab citizens of these countries have the right to sue the military? I think we know the answer.
once again Israel has demonstrated that it is a democracy, the sole democracy in the area. True, Israel has it's problems, but so do other democracies.
No wonder Jag has not posted this article--it shows Israel and the Jews in a favorable right and proves that the Israeli justice system once again has not disriminated againstthe Palestinians.
Can the same be said for all the arab countries that Jag champions?
a resident of Ventura
on Dec 14, 2006 at 11:54 pm
Thanks, Boaz. If Palestinians should sue anyone, they might want to reclaim some of the millions upon millions that Yassar Arafat stashed in Swiss bank accounts. A mega-millionaire freedom fighter! A crook of the highest order, should never have received a Nobel Peace Prize either - he got way too much credit for finally - temporarily - coming to his senses and saying, (for a while, in English) that maybe the PLO shouldn't try to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Then they should sue Hezbollah, whose war this summer, in the name of the Palestinians, most certainly set back their cause another decade.

I know why Jag did not have time to post and/or comment on this issue--he is busy attending the Holocaust conference in iran.

I dont agree with these single-spell tests to check the meta.
It's supposed to be based on our rotation, not spamming scorch.
Do rotation fights.. 6 min long.
Then you might get some accurate %s
Pokemon Y Safari Steel Type (Feroseed, Forretess, Brozong)
Bravely Default
White Mage|XIV Stream
Also, it doesn't matter if you spam one spell or do many. RPPM will recalculate based on how many chances to procc it has. E.g., a Warlock using DoTs and MG/DS will have a smaller chance to procc on each ability than a Frost Mage using straight up burst spells (this is EXCLUDING coefficients btw) purely because the Mage doesn't have as many attacks in the span of 1s, while the Warlock has quite a few. On average, the chance to procc is still the same in the end though.
---------- Post added 2013-04-24 at 12:05 PM ----------
Spamming scorch also doesn't inflate any more than a rotation would. If it does, we may have a new rotation to test for a higher DPS if Scorch actually does provide a higher uptime.
Just did a dummy test on EU-Rexxar, 11min, 17% uptime (one double proc). So I guess there was a hotfix already yesterday.
Alright, I'm from EU, here are the results from our Raid today:
Jin H, 5:30 duration
Horridon N, 7:50 duration
Council N, 4:30 duration

In some of our longer Tortos H attempts, I got 15-22% uptime (5min+ fights)

Uptime felt so low for Arcane It should be a little higher I think, I just had bad luck.
This might not be the best place to ask this question, but I didn't think it warranted a new thread.
Is it possible to solo the part of the legendary quest where you have to throw the spear at Nalak and then run from the add it spawns? I just got to that step last night and it was too late to put a group together (plus i already did Nalak this week on Tuesday anyway). I've read places where hunters and locks could use a pet to tank Nalak long enough to do it. Can we use Mirror Images maybe? or do they die too fast? Will using invis after the add spawns to make nalak reset also cause the add to reset?
I can get a tank to help me out, but I'd rather just do it solo if possible, people in my guild tend to not log on until right at raid time (or sometimes later, jerks) and I'd love to have the gem before raid.
Thanks in advance!
Ask a person to pull Nalak then run to make him depop, throw the spear at Nalak when your friends pulls him, run in circles for 30 seconds, win !
Just did it yesterday with a boomkin friend. He never got hit and I got my gem
I just got my gem!! yay!!! now lets just hope it was worth it.
Only did H Jin last night (and finally killed him, woot!)
5:14 Duration, 7 proccs 67.9s, 21.5% uptime
Log is done. Because we were doing Heroic, I just stayed as Frost for Ji-Kun Normal, so ignore that ridiculously high, near 50%, uptime.
Besides that, my lowest was around 15%, so it wasn't TOO bad. My others were 25% though so it was pretty good.
I also FINALLY got my 4P, so I should be kicking ASS next week :3 (Now if only I could get a chestpiece and my trinket...)

Re: Healthy lunchbox ideas
***pita bread with turkey or chicken filet***
Rub the pita with some water and put in toaster for 4 to 6 min.
Pre-heat the grill or grillpan. Slice filet to small layers of 0.5 cm thick and grill until cooked. (goes really fast)
Meantime pita could be finished already and perhaps even cooled down. If not cooled down, use an oven-mitt or cloth to handle the hot pita bread. slice it halfway and add the filet.
This is a basic recipe where you can experience a lot with seasoning or dressings (I recommend the dressing since chicken and turkey can be dry)
Thyme and yogurt-based dressing goes great with the meat. Be sure to keep the dressing seperate (in a little plastic bag or container) or else the bread will have absorbed it when it's lunchtime.

After those tasteful suggestions, this one pales.
rice salads. You cook the rice in a great deal of water and then drain off the water when it's fully cooked. Add leftover meats like roast chicken or ham, or some shredded proscuitto, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, corn, bell peppers, arugula. Dress very lightly with olive oil, lemon juice, add some torn basil. I think you're getting my drift . . .
Oh this sounds so good, but if it put in the fridge doesnt the rice get hard? Or do you warm this up at work? I do bring my lunch to work and alway looking for easy things to bring, instead of a plain sandwich. Thank you!

Re: Healthy lunchbox ideas
With my hubby any type of stew or chili in a thermos is a winner.
Just made this for him and my kids this past week, Home made pizza and Lentil tacos salad kits.
Just used Jamie's pizza dough recipe (it made 24 minis) and made them small enough to fit a couple into a lunch box. Packaged up a home made sauce in one container, and some toppings in another. Put together, heat or eat cold yummy either way.
For Lentil taco Kit
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2-1/2 cups broth
In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, cumin; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Uncover; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Mash lentils slightly. Stir in some salsa.
I use a lunchbox sized container, put lentils in the bottom and top with lettuce, tomato, crushed taco shells, cheese, sour cream. Yummy and cheap because of the lentils.

Re: Healthy lunchbox ideas
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!
Everyday I only have 1 hour to lunch at the university and I need to do it in the campus' bars because if I go to the canteen there are so many people that I get late to classes. In the bars there's only bread with tuna and chicken but they put loads of mayo in it - so much for the healthy eating there! - so I never eat them. There's 1 bar that serves soup but sometimes it gets sold out before I get there! See the problem?
So all these ideas are so fantastic, thank you so much!

The world's fastest-selling commercial airliner kept the momentum going in the first days of the Paris Air Show, as Airbus added 123 A320neo (new engine option) Family firm orders and commitments while expanding the aircraft's customer base into a new market.
In an on-site announcements at the air show's Le Bourget airport venue, the Lufthansa Group firmed up its order for 35 A320neo and 35 A321neo; ILFC ordered 50 additional aircraft from this single-aisle family; while the A320neo received its first commitment from Africa – when it was announced Tunisia's Syphax Airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for three of these jetliners. In addition, easyJet – the largest A320 Family customer and operator in Europe – identified a future need for 100 A320neo aircraft, subject to shareholder approval.
A320neo Family is Airbus' new highly-efficient product line equipped with standard Sharklet wingtip devices that offers operators a choice of two new jet engine types, and will deliver 15 per cent fuel burn reduction to carriers.
Meanwhile, the NEO programme is continuing to "take shape," with several recent milestones paving the way to future service entry. In one step, Airbus has frozen the design for its A320neo and A319 variants, and production of components and subassemblies is now underway for the first aircraft to fly. This fall, initial assembly of sections for this jetliner will begin.
Development of the A320neo Family's engine types is progressing as well, as the Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G-JM flew for the first time this May – installed on the engine manufacturer's flying testbed. The engine began ground evaluations in 2012 and has amassed more than 400 hours on four different test powerplants. Airbus is scheduled to receive its first PW1100G-JM this fall for testing. The CFM LEAP-1A engine is preparing for the start of its test campaign in the fall of 2013.
Airbus' A320 current engine option (ceo) versions are popular as well with operators, with additional firm orders and commitments announced this week – including 30 A320ceo jetliners as part of Lufthansa's order – and two milestone deliveries conducted during the show: Air New Zealand's first A320 Sharklet-equipped aircraft, the 200th A320 Family aircraft to LATAM Airlines Group – also a Sharklet-equipped A320.
