Reviews of this property
Silvias flat is an ideal place to live für a visit in rome! We feeled very comfortable there and silvia is a very nice helpful person. Next time we will stay there again. Thanks a lot Silvia!
We really enjoyed the stay at Rome and at the apartment at Rampa Brancaleone. The apartment is small but very cozy. The apartment lies at the top of a wonderful stair. Just outside the apartment there is patio, where we sat every morning and evening and had breakfast and dinner. The area felt very safe, with the Piazza S. Pietro within 10-15 minutes walk. Silvia was fantastic and it is wonderful to get a welcome like the one we got from Silvia when we arrived. Many thank Silvia. Great location, great apartment and great host.
Silvia's apartment is exactly as described. It's very calm and only 10 minutes by foot from the S. Peter Sq. My family was happy from this choice. It's a good place if you want to visit Roma
Silvia and Stefano thank you for the warm welcome. The apartment is 15 minutes walk from St Peter and 4 min bus ... when they are not on strike :/ as it happened when we arrived, luckily, Stefano, host, picked us up in St. Pierre as we had 2 hours late. Very helpful and with a smile he gave us pipes in impeccable French, to move us to the sites and "local" restaurants, nice and cheap corner. The apartment is very cute, clean and quiet. It is well equipped for sleeping, a BZ and a double bed, and the kitchen, there is a downstairs merchant fruit and vegetables, a supermarket and a bakery. Again thank you to Silvia and Stefano for allowing us to spend such a pleasant stay in Rome.
merci à Silvia et Stefano pour leur accueil chaleureux.
L appartement est à 15 min à pied de St Pierre et à 4 min des bus...quand ils ne sont pas en grève :/ comme cela s'est passé à notre arrivée, heureusement, Stefano , l'hôte, est venu nous chercher à St Pierre alors que nous avions 2 h de retard. Très disponible et avec le sourire il nous a donné des tuyaux, en français impeccable, pour nous déplacer vers les sites et sur les restos "locaux", sympas et pas chers du coin.
L appartement est très mignon, propre et au calme. Il est bien équipé pour les couchages, un BZ et un lit double, et pour la cuisine, il y a en bas des escaliers un marchand de fruit et légumes, un supermarché et une pâtisserie.
Encore merci à Silvia et Stefano pour nous avoir permis de passer un si agréable séjour à Rome.
We stayed with our two children for 7 days and we really enjoyed the appartment! It is clean, beautiful, quiet but in 5-10 minutes you can walk to St. Peters cathedral. You have supermarkets and baker`s and very fine and not expensive restaurants in proximity. Silvia is very helpful, reliable and answers immediately all e-mails and sms. We would come back at any time!!!
The apartment is very nice and clean, just as described. She is very quiet and idyllic near the St Peter's Basilica, just a 15 minute walk. Silvia is very nice and reliable. Within a few hours, they answered all my emails and waited in the apartment for our arrival. A good restaurant is located very close to the apartment and there is even a supermarket in about 15 minutes walk away, he called Punto SMA, 20 Piazza Pio XI Small mom-and-pop store opposite the stairs to enjoy with fantasy impact and with caution. Silvia I would like to book any time. Ursula
Die Wohnung ist sehr hübsch und sauber, genau so wie beschrieben. Sie liegt sehr ruhig und idyllisch in der Nähe des Petersdomes, nur etwa 15 Min. Fußweg entfernt. Silvia ist sehr nett und zuverlässig. Innerhalb von wenigen Stunden hat sie alle meine E-Mails beantwortet und wartete in der Wohnung auf unsere Ankunft.
Ein gutes Restaurant befindet sich ganz in der Nähe der Wohnung und sogar einen Supermarkt gibt es etwa in 15 Min. Fußweg entfernt, er heißt Punto SMA, Piazza Pio XI 20. Kleiner Tante-Emma-Laden gegenüber der Treppe mit Phantasie-Aufschlag und mit Vorsicht zu genießen.
Silvia würde ich jederzeit wieder gerne buchen.
Not that we were able to enjoy 4 days of sunshine, but also loved by the apartment. The location is great, the best apartment for such a trip Kurtz, nice hostess properly. We would take them back at any time to complete. Thanks for everything. Thaddeus Schroeder
Nicht, dass wir 4 Sonnentage genießen konnten, sondern waren auch von der Ferienwohnung begeistert. Die Lage ist super, die Wohnung für so eine Kurtzreise optimal, die Gastgeberin richtig nett.
Wir würden sie jeder Zeit wieder in Anspruch nehmen. Danke für alles.

Silvia was a great host. When we met her, she stayed around to answer all our questions about getting around Rome. THe apartment is in a very nice area that is outside of the touristy area but is still in the heart of Rome. The bus lines near her made it easy to get everywhere. The place was clean and spacious enough for four people. The only downside was the wifi din't work well at times and there was almost no hot water. Other than that, the place was great!
Silvia and 'very friendly and helpful, the apartment and' well-kept, clean, quiet located in a small village in the heart of Rome, nothing is missing, we recommend it! 5 stars
Silvia e' molto ospitale e gentile , l'appartamento e' ben curato ,pulito silenziosissimo posizionato in un piccolo borgo nel cuore di Roma , non manca niente , lo consigliamo !! 5 stelle
Very welcome by our host. The apartment is very quiet, good location: near bus stop (direct line to the historic center), shops (small supermarket, vegetables ...), restaurant-pizzeria, free parking without time limit. You will find the bar and pastry corner of good ice to recover from the tiring day tourist! The Vatican is a 10-15min walk.
Très bon accueil de notre hôte. L'appartement, très calme, est bien situé : proche arrêt de bus (ligne directe pour le centre historique), commerces (petit supermarché, légumes, ...), restaurant-pizzéria, parking gratuit sans limitation de durée. Vous trouverez au bar-patisserie du coin de bonnes glaces pour récupérer de la journée éprouvante du touriste ! Le Vatican est à 10-15mn à pieds.

Town Square
A terrible waste of State money
Original post made by San Ramon Oberver, San Ramon, on Sep 19, 2011
Not only is so much money being wasted, it is spent on something most residents of the Tri-Valley would find appalling, killing homeless dogs and cats. Yes according to the State Controller's website, $300M is spent annually euthanizing unwanted animals. That's right, half-a-million dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, bunnies, and other small animals are killed (lets use the right word here) by County and City Animal Control agencies at a staggering cost of almost 1/3 Billion dollars every year.
Why are so many animals put to death each year in California? Are these unwanted pets or strays? In some cases yes, but most are unplanned and unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. Many adoptable puppies and kittens find homes, but then they take the place of potentially adoptable dogs and cats only a year or two older than that cute puppy or kitten. Many older animals needing homes would be adopted if there were fewer unplanned litters.
A female cat can have two to three litters a year, with 3 to 5 kittens in each litter, from the time she is 6 months old to 15 years if she lives that long. So spaying a young female cat could prevent as many as 10 kittens a year for 10 to 15 years and all of the kittens her kittens would have. You can see how quickly this builds up; so spaying and neutering cats and dogs could reduce the pet overpopulation tens of thousands in a few short years.
Some of you may recall that the State Assembly tried to pass a Spay and Neuter bill a few years ago and the Breeder Lobby killed it. This isn't another Spay and Neuter bill or another State law or an increase in animal license fees.
Instead this is a voluntary program to replace the license plate on your car. The [Web Link CA Spay Plate] is a new Special Interest License Plate that would provide funding for low or no cost spay and neuter clinics to reduce the amount of pet overpopulation by reducing the number of animals born each year.
There's no penalty to breeders in the CA Spay Plate program. In fact they would have a bigger market if fewer puppies and kittens are available for adoption or free in supermarket parking lots. So this is a win-win for everyone in California – dog lovers, cat lovers, and frugal folks who don't like to see the government wasting money on something so pointless.
Right now this program needs you! The State requires a minimum pre-order of 7500 of these Special Interest license plates before giving the go-ahead to offer them through the DMV. The preorder period is up in July, 2012 and so far only 3200 plates have been ordered. The program needs another 4300 orders to move ahead. It would be a shame for this program to fail because 4300 drivers either don't know or don't care about saving animals and money.
Most residents of the Tri-Valley can afford an extra $50 to $100 a year to reduce State spending on this waste. People around here drive expensive luxury cars, but if you really want to show off your car, [Web Link preorder a CA Spay Plate] to put on it. Then when you take your dog to the dog park (how about the new Bark and Ride), you will be appreciated by all the dogs and their owners. Tell everyone at the dog park or the next cat show you attend to preorder a CA Spay Plate now too.
CA Spay Plates are limited to six characters because of Pierce Brosnan's artwork. If your license uses a 7-digit number, a new 6-digit number will be assigned for a $50 sequential plate. For an additional $48, you can preorder a 6-character personalized plate. If you have a personalized plate with 7 characters, you will need to shorten it to 6 characters or come up with a 6-character alternative. I preordered SPCATS for my Focus.
I asked Judie Mancuso, President of the California Spay & Neuter License Plate Fund, Inc., what would happen if the 7500 preorders are not received by the July 2012 deadline.
"In the unlikely event, we would refund everyone's money and the project would be over, which would be awful for California's pets. This specialty license plate gives us a sustainable funding mechanism for spay and neuter throughout the state that we cannot achieve on such a large scale with any other program. We would not start over. This has already cost over $100k that we received from an angel donor used for marketing, and thousands of volunteer hours."
It would be terrible to miss this great opportunity to save so much money and spare so many helpless animals from the horror of euthanasia. If you have one car, please preorder a CA SPAY PLATE now. If you or other family members have more than one car, preorder a CA SPAY PLATE for each one. Let's make sure millions of dollars are not wasted on killing helpless animals in California anymore.

I have already pre-ordered mine, did it the first week these came out. It's a great way to help the animals in this county and state, plus it's a nice looking plate. So everyone who cares about animals should get on board and order one.

Who are you to assume everyone can afford an extra $50 - 100 on a license plate? There are also a lot of other worthier causes than animals!!!

Excuse me, ma'am, but who are you to assume that "there are a lot of other worthier causes out there than animals?"
And who are you to presume that you should tell other people how to spend their money?
I mean, my canines have certain limitations (for instance, they find it difficult to use this keyboard, so I'm doing it for them), but they asked me to make you aware that they know better than to pass judgment on other people's choices.

Suffice it to say that I'm with Mark Twain, more-or-less: "The more I know of people on the DX website, the better I like my dogs."
Or quoth Mother Teresa, when someone once asked whether her efforts shouldn't be directed at the root causes of poverty. She said, "you feel a call to do this? Great! Go for it, and good luck!"
In other words, don't ever, EVer disparage another person's calling to do good in the world. It's demonstrates a petty self-righteousness that few people would want others to know about you.

Cathy and other dog haters here, explain to me how saving the state the expense of $300M a year to execute dogs and cats helps people. Maybe if the state wasn't spending so much on killing healthy animals, it could spend more on helping sick people. Then you would be able to get some much needed anger management therapy.

I just value human life over pets. Doesn't mean I hate them, just means that if I have the choice, I choose humans. People are more important than animals. There will ALWAYS be unwanted animals that need to be euthanized, and if you don't think so, you are living in a fantasy world.

Observer: I also never said I am a dog hater. I just choose not to have one because I am done cleaning up after my toddlers and don't want to clean up after a dog. I admit I never read the article, I was just commenting on the comments. I think dogs serve a great purpose for those who want to have a dog.

T-Cush tries with limited success to engender controversy with his "blog". For example, he tried to link politics and religion in one blogchunk, but had few takers who wanted to rant and scream.
This thread should prove instructive to him. If he really wants controversy, go criticize the dog and cat owners. How about something along the lines of a "Modest Proposal?"

Cathy..I hope you will pause and reflect on Roz's question posed to you in her last thread, it really hit the nail on the head. If someone wants a special license plate to support Yosemite so be it. If someone wants a special plate to support education so be it. If someone wants a special plate to support whales so be it. Why for goodness sake should you care? I lost my wife and both parents to cancer but that doesn't mean I should ONLY support the Susan B. Koman
Foundation. I almost wonder if you aren't exactly the kind of person that would see the world a bit more positively if you had a furry friend who thought you were the reason for living each day.

Please read the article. It's about saving state money, not implying dogs are more important than people. It says it's a stupid way to waste money. If Cathy thinks people are so smart, why are we wasting so much money so stupidly? $50 isn't a lot to spend or waste on a dog or cat. $300M is! Do the math.
Rick this isn't intended to be a controversial blog. It's intended to get support for CA Spay Plates. If you don't want one, don't buy one, but why bash anyone else who does?
As I said back in my San Ramon Observer blog on the San Ramon Express, this is why I prefer to live in San Ramon and not Danville.

Cathy, you turned jrm's sentiments around to suit your opinion. jrm, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your point is that each individual should have the opportunity to choose where to contribute their money - not that contributions should only benefit the human race.
I agree with that wholeheartedly. It is wonderful that in these difficult times, people still find the means and have the desire to make donations toward a cause they have passion about - or at least deem worthy.
I wouldn't be so arrogant as to decided what is/should be important to someone else - we all march to a different drummer.

You know, Cathy, your preoccupation with this thread seems to demonstrate that you really DON'T have enough to do with your own time. Reading comp could use some work, as well.
I visited a friend of mine yesterday, who runs an animal shelter in the Bay Area. We met in her office, where she introduced me to a five-month old puppy. Both his rear legs had been broken, and were not well-healed -- and he was found, discarded like so much garbage, In A Dumpster, on trash day.
Despite all the unspeakably cruel things that humans had done to him, when he saw me, he thumped his tail on the floor. And then he stood up, with difficulty, and limped over to meet me. As I patted him and massaged him behind the ears, he leaned into my hands and looked up at me with with the clearest, most trusting eyes you could ever imagine. He stayed quietly at my feet throughout our hour-long meeting, sometimes slowly sitting-up in for another scratch.
Now, I hafta ask you -- First -- is that not a life worth caring about, investing in and adopting into a loving home? And Second -- were you the one who threw him in the dumpster?

New London — Terrence P. Carter made his position clear Thursday as he arrived at the Board of Education meeting flanked by his attorney and a public relations representative.
"I stand by my resume. I have done nothing wrong," said Carter, the man the board unanimously chose as the city's next superintendent last month, when questioned by a Day reporter. He refused to answer specific questions.
After more than two hours discussing the matter behind closed doors, the Board of Education voted unanimously to launch an independent investigation into allegations that surfaced over the last week regarding Carter's background.
"Too much has come out this past week to simply dismiss as hearsay," board member Mirna Martinez said. "At this point, even speaking with Mr. Carter, only going on his word ... I cannot simply go on his word. I would like to have a formal investigation. Accusations such as these are not to be taken lightly, therefore it would be irresponsible to move forward with this contract at this point."
Carter, 49, has been under fire after a slew of information came to light in the last week, including that Carter represented himself — or allowed others to represent him — as having a Ph.D. for more than five years before he received his doctorate from Lesley University in Massachusetts.
The Day also reported this week that Carter has a history of defaulting on financial obligations and has filed for bankruptcy in two states in the last 15 years. His claims, though, were dismissed because he failed to appear at a court-scheduled meeting or failed to file required paperwork.
"There's a whole bunch of allegations ... and we want to look into all of them," Board President Margaret Mary Curtin said. "We're going out to do an investigation through our law firm, Shipman and Goodwin, and hopefully it will be done as soon as possible."
The investigation, Curtin said, is expected to take about 30 days.
Curtin refused to answer when asked whether she thinks Carter could effectively lead the district since the revelations about his background and possible misrepresentation.
Board members Aracelis Vazquez Haye and Scott Garbini declined to comment after the meeting, and Garbini said board members were told to refer all questions to Curtin.
"I think the board made a very sound decision tonight and did so with legal advice, and I'm very supportive of their decision and path forward," state-appointed Special Master Steven J. Adamowski said. "I feel that the board will make an objective, fact-based decision as a result of doing this."
The vote came after the board, its lawyer, Adamowski and Carter entered a closed-door executive session on Thursday to discuss concerns about Carter's financial background and the allegations that he misrepresented his academic record.
After more than in hour in executive session, Carter and his attorney left the meeting. As he walked to his blue Ford Escape, Carter said only, "I am not stepping down; I am interested in the job." Then he drove away.
Bill McCoy, Carter's attorney, confirmed that Carter does not intend to withdraw from consideration for the superintendent job. He declined to say whether Carter is considering legal action against the board or the city.
Curtin said the decision to hold off on taking action on Carter's contract was not in response to any threats of litigation.
On Thursday morning, Adamowski asked Carter to withdraw from consideration for the job.
"On behalf of the department, Special Master Adamowski has asked for (Carter's) withdrawal," state Department of Education spokeswoman Kelly Donnelly said in a statement. "At the request of the commissioner, the Special Master is participating in ongoing conversations with the local board regarding this evolving situation and potential next steps."
Carter did not accept the invitation to withdraw and instead chose to continue to pursue the job.
"He decided he would rather address the board directly on these issues. Obviously, he had firm convictions regarding the issues," Adamowski said. "The board, after hearing his explanations and considering the information he provided, made the decision that was reflected in the resolution tonight."
When asked whether he thinks Carter could still be an effective superintendent in New London after all that has taken place in the last week, Adamowski said he would "reserve judgement on that relative to the board's review of an independent investigation."
Adamowski said that by Aug. 1 he would appoint an interim superintendent to lead the district for 60 to 90 days, until the investigation is complete and the board makes a determination about Carter's status.
The board will "appoint an interim (superintendent) until we can come up with an answer," Curtin said. "And then if the answer is that we go out and search again, that's what we'll do."

Do you believe Terrence P. Carter should be approved as New London's superintendent?
Yes. I agree with his statement that he has 'done nothing wrong.'
No. There have been many questions raised the past week that make me doubt whether he should serve as superintendent.
I'll reserve judgment pending the Board of Education independent investigation.
I'm not sure the media have been fair to Carter.

STORMING THE GATEKEEPERS: RI's Future's Jerzyk (center, with his contributors) sees blogs as the
information-sharing embodiment of democracy.
Matt Jerzyk launched his Rhode Island's Future blog in January 2005 because, after having worked locally in community- and union-organizing, "I saw first-hand how difficult it was to pene-trate the media cabal with progressive stories of hope and change." After two months of writing about the then-upcoming 2006 US Senate race between Lincoln Chafee and Sheldon Whitehouse, the blog's audience grew from a few dozen people to a few hundred.
More than three years later, Rhode Island's Future is established as a must-read for political types, activists, reporters, and others — including the conservatives who welcome opportunities to scorn the blog's unapologetically liberal bent — and the site claims 67,000 unique visitors, and 250,000 page views, a month.
Jerzyk, 31, who is about to graduate from Roger Williams University Law School (disclosure: he's a friend of mine and an occasional Phoenix contributor), is now looking to sell Rhode Island's Future, to a person or entity that, he hopes, will maintain its character and identity.
Borrowing a phrase from the title of a book by two preeminent liberal bloggers, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga and Jerome Armstrong, Jerzyk takes some valedictory satisfaction in how bloggers have "used a new and powerful medium and 'crashed the gates' to ensure that information — the most important ingredient in a democracy — would be available to anyone who wanted to write, read, or debate."
Across the ideological aisle at Anchor Rising, which has emerged as Rhode Island's leading conservative blog since it debuted in late 2004, a handful of like-minded individuals were motivated by a similar desire to provide a broader and more consequential forum for their ideas and philosophy.
In one example of how it has made an impact, Justin Katz, a 32-year-old carpenter who wields a formidable intellect as Anchor Rising's most frequent contributor, points to Providence Journal op-ed columnist Ed Achorn's use of his tart description — "the Economic Death and Dismemberment Act" — for a budget plan, the Economic Growth and Fairness Act, put forward by some liberal Smith Hill Democrats. "A couple of weeks later, [Achorn] e-mailed to ask whether I'd coined it, because he found it to be an audience-pleaser in speeches," says Katz, via e-mail (as the interviews with other bloggers were conducted for this story).
"More generally, one gets the feeling of being part of the public debate," Katz adds, such as when something written by one of Anchor Rising's contributors, about healthcare, human-service spending, step increases for teachers, or tax and migration trends, "precedes a change of tack on the other side. In other words, bloggers of modest influence can still disprove talking points, and if the right people are reading, then those talking points have been successfully exploded."
Seeded and inspired in part by this lefty-righty duo, the Rhode Island blogosphere has expanded and grown more sophisticated in recent years, offering a new layer of media (and of media criticism) at a time when metro dailies such as the ProJo, bedeviled by an industry-wide collapse of newspaper advertising, offer a smaller, less expansive scope of coverage than in the past.

Go Gators!
i see that they are down 10-0. what's the deal? all those runs to gosling?
The other half of the Reds up in Orlando just took a 3-2 lead over the Braves on a two-run HR by Wise, then a double from EE scoring Felipe.
Dave Williams against John Thompson in that one.
Time is not gonna be a kind friend to Gosling. He needed ST to end a week ago for him to make the team. At least I hope that's what the Reds conclude.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
Yeah, I would say Germano has passed him, if that is any comfort
Over in Orlando, Dave Williams makes Jeff Francouer all happy to be back from his team USA experience by serving up a moon shot, Braves back up 4-3.
Why in the world did the Reds schedule a SS day for this late in the spring, with both games on the road?

text: I checked my bees yesterday after leaving them alone for a week. I had pulled the excluder and put another deep on. The shallow was 80% filled with sealed honey and still had a little drone brood in one frame. They had started drawing a little bit of comb in the new deep. I installed a "Candibox" feeder in the new deep with two frames of foundation inside. I put it in the top deep because the bottom had fully drawn comb and brood and honey and pollen. I poured in 2.5 quarts of sugar syrup and put the hive back together. I went back in the house and came back out about 1/2 hour later. The bees were flying everywhere. I wasn't sure if they were swarming or what, but they were just coming in and going out in a frenzy, and hovering all around the hive entrance. After a while they settled down a little. Is this to be expected, or what else might be going on?

Pockyscorner, just saw your post.....the gum wall is still there and growing!
I've never heard of Maid Rite, but used one of the above recipes last night. Not sure how it's supposed to taste! but my son and I both liked them. The meat kept falling out of the bun, it seemed a nice change from sloppy joes. Maybe next time I'll put some cheese on them.
Maid-Rites were served with a spoon/fork just because the meat spilled out. I have a t-shirt from Tom & Rosanne's Loose Meat Cafe in Iowa.
Here's what I did and they were great: for 1 lb of gr. beef, I cooked but not browned. Break it up really well. Drain. Then, I added 3 TBSP of hydrated onion flakes, 1/4 c of beef broth and 3 TBSP of water, S & P. Simmer until most of the liquid is gone. That's it! Pile the meat on buns with mustard, and dill pickle slices. Prepare to fix a second one. You'll want it. If cheese is put on the meat on the bun it's called a Cheese-Rite.
We just had a new Maid-Rite diner open up in town. I think the owner is from Iowa. There use to be one in Rochester , but it closed down.
Sure wish they'd come to Buckeye country!!
The original Mid Rite was in Muscatine, Ia. William Angell was the founder. I used to live next to his widow, Bea. I now luve in Marshalltown where Taylor's Maid Rite ships sandwiches all over the country.
Well I found a link to the official Maid-Rite corp.
I remember several places in Iowa calling their loose meat sandwiches maid rites and also taverns. These were not franchises. I didn't know there was a place called Maid Rite, it just seemed like a regional name for the loose meat sandwiches I knew as a sloppy joe. However at the site they list locations of franchises and there is one in Ohio listed at Piqua. I also saw a wikipedia listing with some of the history of it.
P.S. I just happened across this old post as I was searching for something else.
If you need to find a recipe and only know some of the ingredients then try Super Cook: http://www.supercook.com/
I grew up in S. California, Del Taco had a Taco Burger. Quite delicious. Basically taco filling on a bun instead of a tortilla. It's loose meat and you had to be careful of the meat falling out. I like to eat sloppy joes with a fork. I think eating one of them like a sandwich would be really messy. Arn't these type sandwiches basically a maid rite?

Foam Streak on Gunnison Bay, Great Salt Lake, Utah
A foam streak develops where the inflowing water from Gilbert Bay enters the red waters of Gunnison Bay. A culvert allows water to flow from the south end of the lake (Gilbert Bay) into the north where it evaporates to saturation. The foam is thought to be due to high levels of dissolved organic carbon (DOC/DOM), and the streak forms where the two water masses meet. Additional foam has piled up on the rocks in the foreground and there are additional foam streaks on the water to the left. The rocks in the foreground are part of the railway causeway dividing the lake.

Over the past few months, there have been a few threads on nucs, and more specifically - overwintered nucs. I get the sense that people are often surprised at how quickly these colonies take off, and if you're caught off guard, they will swarm before you get a handle on them. So, to some extent, the overwintered nuc is a unique entity, which acts somewhat differently than a full sized colony.
I have six nucs wintering right now, and I want to make the most of whatever resources come through winter. I also have 5 full sized colonies, and I want to expand as much as I can in the 2013 season. I want to work toward maintaining about 3/4 of my colonies as nucs and 1/4 as production or full-sized colonies.
You never know what toll winter will take, but assuming my colonies make it thorough, what can you offer in terms of advice on how to manage overwintered nucs in the spring? How can I best manage my resources in the spring - and maximize the potential of what I have?

If regulators allow FairPoint Communications to buy Verizon's telephone lines and systems in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, its 3000-plus employees can look forward to seven years without a raise.
Further, FairPoint customers will benefit from no additional spending on telephone or Internet operations for the next seven years. FairPoint has pledged to buy and install new telephone and Internet equipment in all three states, but as of now, the company has no idea how much it will have to spend just to get the existing Verizon equipment working properly — something that must be done before the first upgrade project can even begin. And the company plans to spend the same amount running its systems in the year 2015 as it will in 2008.
Shareholders will be worse off than customers — apparently even more so than they're expecting. According to filings with the Public Utilities Commission, FairPoint is predicting shareholder equity will decline by $1.1 billion (a figure 25 percent higher than the $900 million drop the company has publicly projected elsewhere).
The company as a whole will also be in bad shape. One possible scenario FairPoint has presented to Maine regulators would leave FairPoint with "essentially no cash left after payment of expenses, interest, taxes and dividends" — leaving it nothing to pay off the $1.5 billion in debt the company will incur in the $2.7 billion Verizon deal, much less the $625 million it currently owes its creditors. (And if that scenario doesn't happen and there is cash left over, FairPoint has refused to promise regulators it would use the cash to pay off debt.)
If the proposed Verizon-FairPoint telephone merger is approved, the quality — and even the existence — of land-line telephone service throughout northern New England, will depend on FairPoint's ability to make good on several key financial assumptions. But analyses in PUC filings call those assumptions "inappropriate" and assert they "do not reflect reality."
The publicly traded North Carolina-based telecommunications company, which runs small local phone companies in 18 states (including Maine), has gone to great lengths to assure the public, politicians, regulatory officials, and industry analysts that the deal's finances will work out. Its chief operating officer, Peter Dixon, told Mainers back in June that the money coming into FairPoint from former Verizon customers' monthly service fees will be more than enough to pay for FairPoint's increased expenses, including repaying outstanding loans. But the company's internal financial projections, summarized in PUC records, say money will be so tight that success depends on, among other specious ideas, the price of gasoline remaining constant for the next seven years. (Another of those specious ideas is that the unions, whose contracts expire in late 2008, will accept zero-percent raises for the next seven years.)
That's all beyond the fact that FairPoint almost certainly knows (and Verizon definitely does) that the sale price itself is far too high — nearly two-thirds higher than the amount at which Verizon values the assets that are being sold.

1. We have hands down the best point guard in the country. He is a whole different player from last year and has the ability to get to the rim with NBA range shooting the three. He also has a pullup jumper off the dribble that he has added to his game that he is actually making. I watch aaron craft play multiple times and he may be a better on ball defender then hickey but he is not a better overall defender.
2. We have won a game against a good team when the shots just weren't falling, missed freethrows until the end of the game and turned the ball over. Only a good team can pull that feat off.
3. Our perimeter defense is unbelievable and the press will be a weapon for the rest of the season. I can't say enough about the combination of hickey and charles on the perimeter. If the other teams best player in on the wing or plays the point then he in for a bad game.
4. We dominate the teams we are suppose to beat. This the one that really gets under my skin!! LSU 5-0 because we haven't played anybody!! If we wouldn't have lost those 4 games against scrubbs last year we would have been in the tournament. I just don't understand how we can take wins for granted when just 2 years ago we couldn't beat anybody. Be thankful we have the ability to beat mississippi valley state.
5. The depth on this team is unbelieveable. We have 7 player's capable of leading the team in scoring any night. Coleman is one of the most versatile player i have seen at LSU. Johnny O was getting triple teamed lastnight and still didn't want to kick the ball back out. Even though he should have i loved the i can't be stopped approach.
6. The SEC is horrible this year and the only team LSU can't beat is prolly florida. Kentucky is talented but young and will lose there share of games in the SEC this year. Alabama is a good solid team we will have some epic battles with. The rest leave something to be desired and already been losing to the same type of teams we complain about beating.
I love the team CJJ has put together and the offense they run. The season just starting and the only place I see LSU going for here is up. I know I will get blasted for starting this tread but i will look like a god when we win over 20 games and finish in the top 5 in the SEC. We will rank in the top 25 at some point of the year too. YEAH I SAID IT
fjohns, I like where your head is at.
Problem is, SEC is not that good in hoops this year and NCAA berths will reflect that. 500 in the SEC won't be good enough for NCAA berth but I think this team can go 500 in SEC
This road stretch will be very difficult but if LSU can win 2 of 3 against UC Irvine, Boise and Marquette that will be outstanding
what if we win all three?? Will you officially jump on the bandwagon.
seton hall with the 6 9 shooting guard that hit all those threes on us and that big bully down low?? Trust me they will win there share of games and make the tourney. It's hard to beat a good team on there home floor in college and that's why they lost
Dude, no one here is denying they are exciting and competitive. No one is wishing they lose one of the next few games. You just need to be brought down to earth.
No need to build up lofty expectations 5 games into the season, only to be pissed at the players, coaches, etc. at the end of the year if they don't meet those expctations

The new Stadium that the GIANTS and JETS will be co-tenants in will not have the naming rights sold to Allianz.
As many of you know the possible selection of Allianz as a naming rights partner was not without controversy.
The GIANTS and JETS have decided to move forward, and due to the sensitive nature of the contoversial past Allianz has with supporting the Nazi party, we ask that members not engage in discussion on the topic of Allianz.
Religious and political topics are outside of the scope of the purpose of this message board. This issue did bring politics and religion into our sphere of GIANTS football, but now that the decision has been made to move on to other possible partners, we ask that our members move on as well.
Thanks for your support and cooperation.

Jewish Values vs. Israeli Policies: Why 5 young Jews disrupted Netanyahu
Posted by Admin in Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 10th November, 2010 | No Comments
In New Orleans during the Jewish Federation's General Assembly (GA), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) created a safe space for young Jews, like myself, whose stomachs are still churning from the bombings in Gaza nearly two years ago, and whose eyes can no longer be averted from the daily reality of oppression for Palestinians.

Guns are good for the goose but NOT for the gander.
A Clarkstown police report issued on December 28, 2012, confirmed that The Journal News has hired armed security guards from New City-based RGA Investigations and that they are manning the newspaper's Rockland County headquarters at 1 Crosfield Ave., West Nyack, through at least tomorrow, Wednesday, January 2, 2013.
According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of "negative correspondence," namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper's publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester.
Due to apparent safety concerns, the newspaper then decided to hire RGA Investigations to provide armed personnel to man the location.
Paper that outed handgun owners hires armed guards.
Why do these same people complaining about this paper ignore the fact that their side always outs union locations, abortion clinic locations, and anti-war protest rallies complain about the other side exposing the locations of armed citizens or militias?
This is not about your side or their side...it is about respect for the privacy of law abiding citizens.
If anything, it actually helps the gun owners in the community assemble and form social gatherings and meet-ups.

Nielsen: McCain's speech draws more viewers than Obama's — while airing on fewer networks
posted at 2:58 pm on September 5, 2008 by Allahpundit
Just across. BET and TV One apparently decided that with Barry O already pulling 90-95% of the black vote, they needn't bother turning any precious airtime over to McCain. In fact, all four nights of the Democratic convention aired on both networks. The GOP convention didn't air at all.
Do note: Palin finished just shy of both candidates in total audience running on only six networks, two fewer than McCain and four fewer than Obama. Telemundo and Univision didn't bother with night three coverage.
Sweet news, although it would have been sweeter had Maverick's speech been a home run rather than a bloop double. Exit question: How'd he beat The One? Ridin' the wave of Palinmania, or ridin' the wave of football fans looking for something to watch after the Giants-Redskins game ended? I want to believe it's the latter, just because the network that would have made the difference in that case is … NBC.

Tulane develops Center for African Resource Development
As domestic energy companies venture ever farther from the United States to find oil and natural gas, the Tulane Energy Institute is hoping to forge a partnership with Africa.
The continent is already a major fuel exporter to the United States, with Nigeria alone supplying roughly 10 percent of the oil consumed in this country. Continuing political tensions with other oil-rich regions, such as the Middle East and Russia, make Africa an increasingly significant player in America's quest for energy.
The prevalence of corrupt governments and unruly rebel groups, however, have made a dangerous business of producing fuel from African territory. The Tulane University Center for African Resource Development would attempt to smooth commerce with the continent by inviting African government workers to observe energy practices in the United States. The workers would spend time at Tulane's energy institutes in New Orleans and Houston, the U.S. Institute for Peace in Washington, D.C., and industrial sites scattered along the Gulf of Mexico.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., planted the seed of the idea for the center, said Tulane Energy Institute Director Geoffrey Parker.
"She knew the oil trade relationship with Africa was only going to grow," he said.
Last month, Landrieu discussed the plan with leaders from 11 African nations, the World Bank, federal agencies and several international energy conglomerates. Expected to run like a fellowship program for African oil and gas regulators, the institute has raised about $1 million and could begin hosting its first visitors next year.
"America needs to ensure that it has many diverse and secure energy sources, and our partners in Africa will be a part of that energy mix for the foreseeable future," Landrieu said in a statement. "Meanwhile, these nations need to attract investment and develop strong ties with U.S. technology innovators."
Oil riches underlie some of the poorest regions of Africa, and politicians and economists often point to fuel production as a way for nations to earn money for badly needed public services. Yet most of the Africans who live around active oilfields have not profited, their poverty made worse by pollution from spills and factories that disrupt agrarian lifestyles, said Antonia Juhasz, an author who has studied the international oil trade.
"One of the biggest concerns in western Africa is the willingness of U.S. companies to align themselves with brutal governments and militaries to protect their operations," Juhasz said. "What you wouldn't want to see is an institute that is solely focused on increasing the presence of U.S. business in Africa without a very strong attention to the very difficult history and existing tension in the region."
Parker said human rights will definitely be part of the conversation at the institute. Oil and gas will likely be the focus of the institute, but Tulane also plans to offer programs in renewable energy and more divergent themes, such as public health.
"It's all about transparency and trying to make sure that the benefits of these industries are not just concentrated in a few elite, because that often ends up leading to conflict," said Parker, who forsees the institute as exerting the most influence over nations such as Ghana, which is just beginning to open its borders to international fuel production. Countries such as Nigeria and Angola have been active drilling destinations for years.
Tidewater Inc., the world's biggest operator of offshore supply vessels, has firsthand experience with the hostility oil interests have sparked in Africa. With many of its boats stationed off the coast of Nigeria, Tidewater has had to deal with kidnappings and vessel hijackings.
"Sometimes they're thugs, and sometimes they're militant groups," Tidewater spokesman Joe Bennett said. "You move very carefully when operating in places like that."
The process of negotiating with African governments to retrieve stolen supplies or protect kidnapped employees usually involves a "long, drawn-out affair" that Bennett declined to discuss.
"There are places over there that just don't have developed laws," he said. "It's frustrating when you want to operate in an ethical and efficient way."
To Bennet, Tulane's African business center sounded like a good idea.
"There's so much room for improvement," he said. "Anything anybody can do to improve the situation is helpful."

Governor's Weekly Radio Address
Hi. I'm Scott Walker.
Earlier this year, I met with mental health professionals from across Wisconsin. They gave me some tremendous insights into the needs of people suffering from mental health challenges.
My state budget will include nearly $30 million in new funding to support critical services across the state. I've heard numerous success stories about Comprehensive Community Services. Our budget plan will expand these services statewide.
This new investment will help the people of Wisconsin live healthier and more productive lives. Thankfully, our prudent budget decisions in the past helped generate a surplus which now allows us to invest in our priorities in the future.
The state partnered with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association to produce and distribute brief radio address once a week. Audio files and a written transcript of this radio address can be accessed on http://www.wi-broadcasters.org and http://walker.wi.gov/Weekly-Radio-Addresses.

String Join
You need to combine several strings into a larger string.
The built-in concatenation operator (++) is the de-facto answer here:
1> "Some " ++ "text " ++ "and" ++ " stuff". "Some text and stuff"
You can also use the lists:append function:
2> lists:append(["Some ", "text ", "and", " stuff"]). "Some text and stuff"
++ and lists:append will always allocate a new string.

Over the past several days, conflict has erupted in Egypt. On Sunday June 30, millions of protesters took to the streets to call for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to step down. Three days later, military officers removed him from power.
Protests for and against Morsi have followed and have resulted in deadly clashes. On Monday morning, Egyptian soldiers opened fire on Morsi's supporters, killing more than 50 people and wounding at least 300. Witnesses said the soldiers fired on Morsi's supporters while they were praying. But Egypt's military said the soldiers were attacked first.
Morsi was Egypt's first democratically elected president. He was elected in 2012 after the 2011 revolution against former president, Hosni Mubarak. But critics say Morsi betrayed the democratic spirit of Egypt's 2011 revolution. They say he tried to increase the control of his political party, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is the country's oldest and largest Islamist organization.
Now, the Egyptian military has made longtime judge Adli Mansour the acting president, a temporary position. At his swearing-in ceremony, Mansour said he had been given the authority and the mission "to amend and correct the revolution of the 25th of January 2011."
A Country in Crisis
Mansour and the Egyptian military have promised that new elections for president and parliament, the country's legislative body, will take place under the interim government.
"Nobody will be excluded, and if they respond to the invitation, they will be welcomed," Mansour said of a future government.
However, that inclusive vision seems increasingly unlikely as the Muslim Brotherhood said it would not work with the new government. In a move that is likely to further inflame the situation, the Freedom and Justice party, the Muslim Brotherhood's political group, called on Egyptians to rise up against the army.
An Uncertain Future
After the violence Monday morning, Interim President Mansour called for restraint and ordered an investigation into the killings. Significantly, the statement from his office seemed to support the military's version of events, saying that the killings followed an attempt to storm the Republican Guard's headquarters. This is the name of the building where supporters believe Morsi is being kept.
Pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei spoke out against the violence and also called for an investigation. "Peaceful transition is [the] only way," he wrote on his Twitter account.
Regardless of the reason for the violence, the growing chaos will further complicate Egypt's relations with the United States. The U.S. and other allies had supported Morsi as the country's first freely elected leader and now are rethinking policies toward the military-backed group that forced him out.
President Barack Obama announced in a statement that he was "deeply concerned" by the developments and called on the Egyptian military to "move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process."
Still, Morsi's supporters refuse to recognize the change in leadership and vow to continue protesting. His opponents are also holding rallies, and neither side shows sign of stopping soon.

A Life Bigger Than Mom's
A Life Bigger Than Mom's
More From Barbara
Barbara's Biography
Secret to a Happy Marriage: "Treat your husband or your wife the same way you did on your first date."
Most Meaningful Advice: From her father: "To be honest and always remember that I was no better than anyone else but I was no less. And not to worry about things, to deal with them."
Biggest Influences: "All the women that preceded me that were brave enough to go into non-traditional jobs."
"Not a Quitter": After sticking out a thirteen-year sexual harassment suit Burns knows a thing or two about perseverance: "When you get discouraged just take a deep breath, wait a day or two, and just start over."
Barbara Burns was one of the first female coal miners in the country and an 'everywoman' champion against sexual harassment in the workplace. The oldest of eight, Burns grew up in West Virginia, in a family where almost all the men were coal miners. By 1975, she was a mother of two, with ambitions to pursue nursing and a husband in poor health. Eager to earn more than she could in the low-wage, female-dominated jobs she was working—waitress, cashier, she went to work in the mines as one of the first female coal miners in the country. Burns went underground and worked her way up to foreman before being recruited to Smoot Coal as a lab technician in 1984.
At Smoot, Burns found herself the target of aggressive sexual advances and stalking by her boss, the company president. She endured the escalating harassment for months, scared to quit because of her husband's failing health and the threat of being blacklisted from another job in the coal industry. But in 1986, unable to take it any longer, she sought out attorney Betty Jean Hall and filed a complaint with the West Virginia Commission on Human Rights. Excruciatingly, the case dragged on until 2000, when the West Virginia Supreme Court finally ruled in her favor. Meanwhile, Burns' sexual harassment case, the first from a coal miner, encouraged Burns' coal miner peers and women in other industries to move forward with their own complaints, and they often turned to Burns for advice and support. Burns became a nurse, a cattle farmer, and a grandmother of four.

Right now my coach says I have a very good back position, good speed, and good depth to my edge (inside and outside), great and all, but I'd love to have better stretch of my free foot. Right now I can barely get it to be parallel to the ice, and I want to improve it. I'm not looking for fast results, but is there a stretching exercise or 2 that I can do daily that mainly focuses on improvising my leg flexibility? I'm hoping in a year or 2 I can get a 100-105 degree position, which is waaaaaay more appealing than the 85-90 degree I'm currently hitting. Thanks a lot!

Oh dear. The Ross Taylor captaincy saga seems to have descended into deep, possibly irretrievable, farce.
I'm having to choose my words carefully, as I can feel a chill on the back of the shoulders; the icy breath of a lawyer waiting for a mistake. It's finally happened, you see. That which never should have occurred in the first place has taken a fresh step into an even bigger pile of poo.
John Parker's most recent push to get more ex-international cricketers on the board of New Zealand Cricket seems likely, in my opinion, to ensure no ex-international cricketers will be elected to the board of NZC. Parker recently went on radio in support of this worthy objective; a series of documents were released.
At least two well-known cricket personalities have taken umbrage at some of the comments contained in those documents - immediately frightening the horses of journalism - and have consulted (or are considering consulting) lawyers.
It would be wonderful to tell you what those comments were but even the implied presence of lawyers is often enough to make the scrotums of most news organisations ascend until they are sheltering beneath the lungs.
There was a Lord Chief Justice of England who, in his retirement speech, reflected sadly that his entire career seemed to have been spent untangling disputes between the drivers of two cars, both of which genuinely seemed to be on their own side of the road, sounding their horn and moving forwards in an orderly fashion while remaining stationary. Says a lot about lawyers.
But, when one's reputation is thought to have been besmirched, they come in handy. Parker is heading a group of former New Zealand cricket captains, players, coaches, selectors, officials, media people, corporate people and supporters. No names are given other than Parker's. The group is said to have been long discontented about the governance and board of NZC and the Taylor saga was the last straw. They are taking steps not only to express their view on how the sport should be governed in this country but also to get several of their number on to the board.
So far, so understandable. But this overall goal - with which I have to say I was in complete agreement - seems to have been supported by an approach of, and documents of, staggering naivety.
There were three documents - but the one drawing attention is the 77-bullet-point exploration headlined 'The Taylor Affair'. In this document, unsubstantiated by any confirmation or attribution to the undoubted heavyweights whose opinions and knowledge are supposedly contained within, are the following general claims, either directly made or hinted at:
Encouragement of former players to apply for board positions only none are selected
This has allowed NZC to take the moral high ground; it can divert the withering public gaze from its own rather poorly washed underwear to this new 'outrage'.
Most felt NZC were at fault, not so much with the decision to replace Taylor with new skipper Brendon McCullum, but with the way it was done - an ill-considered putsch, insensitively handled at an almost comically bad time before a test match. It left Taylor, the country's top batsman, feeling wounded and isolated and seemingly out of form.
This column last week offered the view that it was NZC's own fault that Taylor had come out after the Black Caps' energising draw with England in the third test at Eden Park with hints of more tales to tell. They had failed to seal all the gaps; the wounds were still festering.
Now Parker and Co have handed them a golden cricket bat with which to hit them to the fence. Just as NZC did, the Parker group have made an ill-considered thrust insensitively made at an almost comically bad time after McCullum and troops had made a good fist of playing England in the test series.
Surely the time for this was in the midst of the Taylor saga itself. Many of the cricketing public have sighed and turned their attention to the coming tour of England.
The phrases "move on" and "get over yourself" are two of the most odious in use in New Zealand. They are the last refuge of the moron; the feeble lament of those whose little Kookaburra-ball brains hurt if asked to climb the intellectual mountain of considering an issue and addressing it. But the fact remains - many have moved on and they think, in their arrogance, that Taylor should too.
So all Parker and Co have achieved is to give their enemies a club to beat them with. NZC CEO David White immediately fired out a press release which said: "The allegations raised by John Parker and the anonymous group of critics are divisive, untrue and reflect poorly on them rather than the players they have wrongly attacked ... Attacks such as this are ... unhelpful. For the sake of the game, the focus should now be on the Black Caps' upcoming tour of England."
There's the high ground gone, then. Surely this crowd of cricketing might had to present a united front, using their not inconsiderable names and knowledge. Surely they had to sift through, as journalists do, all the chaff to separate the grain. By not doing so, they risk destroying their own case.
Unless they somehow have some sort of political lock on the NZC board, they seem reminiscent of Captain Darling in that scene from the excellent Blackadder series, the World War I version, where Blackadder questions Darling about his loyalty.
"Me, a German spy?" protests Darling. "I'm as British as Queen Victoria."
Blackadder: "So your father's German, you're half German and you married a German ... ?"
Like Darling, Parker and Co seem as though they can't win.

malware loaded netbooks
My question is there canned software just for this purpose or is it all custom made, i.e. how would one go about setting one of these up? For instance, I could use the 'generate' function in BT with the '-x' switch to infect a bunch of programs with different payloads using the '-i' switch to obfuscate the malware. Or just use smartlogger to not set off any (many?) IDS?
Or install a rootkit (would that be overdoing it?)
Or is just the acceptance of a netbook considered good enough?
Anybody have an opinion on real world examples?

Reviews of this property
Beautiful rooms, equipped very nicely for two people. Audrey was also a very accommodating host, and in particular stayed until 0:30 to let us in after our plane was delayed.
We had a enjoyable stay at the confortable apartment of kindly Audrey. The ubication is great, next to two metro stations with quickly access to the center, supermarkets very close, quiet street. The apartment is welcoming with a nice kitchen, bed, bathroom and living room. Very, very nice for the coast. The only inconvenient is the abscence of ascensors, but for us it's ok! Audrey was so pleasant, we recommend her apartment and we definetly stay at her apartment when we go back to Paris.
My partner and I spent five night's at Audrey's apartment at the end of October 2013. The moment we walked through the door we felt at home, a beautiful apartment which matches the photos perfectly. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the bed huge and comfortable - we had everything that you need for a stay away from home. Audrey was very friendly and helpful throughout and we muddled through with her basic English and our even more basic French! I would certainly recommend staying at Audrey's apartment and also stopping off for a Thai dinner at Mme Shawn just one street along! (rue Paul Bert)
Everything perfect, comfortable house and confirtevole, close to metro, clean and in a quiet area.
Audrey is very helpful and kind.
100% satisfied
Recommended to all!

A race against the clock in the High Court begins today as the jury trial of National Finance's Carol Braithwaite kicks off.
Braithwaite - the former wife of jailed National Finance boss Trevor Ludlow - will be the first director from a failed New Zealand finance company to be tried by a jury.
She faces one charge of making untrue statements in a company prospectus. She has pleaded not guilty and will defend the charge on the basis that she believed at the time the prospectus was correct.
The charge, laid by the Financial Markets Authority, carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison or fines of up to $300,000.
Although Braithwaite's judge-alone trial was scheduled to begin in Auckland last Monday and was expected to take three weeks, the case now has to be squeezed into a fortnight after she successfully applied to be tried by a jury.
A condensed case is necessary because a three-week or longer jury trial could not start until next year.
Opposing Braithwaite's application for a jury trial, Crown lawyer John Dixon expressed "grave doubts" in the ability of both sides to give their arguments in two weeks.
Dixon said although Braithwaite's case was not as complex as some of the other finance company prosecutions, the financial and accounting evidence involved could be "outside the purview of the ordinary juror".
Braithwaite had been due to appear in the dock with fellow director Anthony Banbrook, but the latter made an 11th-hour guilty plea. He will now be sentenced next month.
National Finance went into receivership in 2006, owing investors $21 million. Some investors have recovered 49c in the dollar.
Ludlow is serving a sentence of six years and four months after being convicted of charges laid by the Serious Fraud Office and the Financial Markets Authority.
He was found guilty last July of defrauding investors of an estimated $3.5 million.
He and Braithwaite once shared a $1.5 million Devonport property and in 2009 he blamed the stress of the business' failure for the pair's break-up.
Both are banned from being company directors until next April.
National Finance accountant John Gray pleaded guilty to theft and false accounting charges in the Auckland District Court in 2010 and was sentenced to nine months' home detention.

"Regarding pH levels, the comparison between sugar syrup and honey doesnt seem proper. Shouldnt it be sugar syrup to nectar? I assumed maybe incorrectly that most nectars were close to neutral since many, if not most plants thrive in nearly neutral soils. The lowering of pH was a product of the enzymes and other additions made in the bees honey stomachs. Was I wrong in my assumption?" (beemandan)
This is a good question. What is it that causes the low PH of honey? Is it caused by the enzymes from the bees' honey stomachs? Or is some nectar naturally in the lower PH range? Also, will the PH of sugar syrup become lower after the bees make honey from it?
As for the PH of sugar syrup, I made a 2:1 and found the PH to be this:
PH of sugar syrup (2:1 sugar water): 6.10
Distilled water was used.
you can use an electronic PH meter such as the one on here:
