Cedarville's ninth President, Dr. William E. Brown, came to the University following a presidency at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. He is a graduate of the University of South Florida, and he received his Th.M. in theology and Ph.D. in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. He is also the author of three books on worldview, and he developed a worldview media curriculum called re:View.
Dr. Brown articulated Cedarville's mission as "a Christ-centered learning community equipping students for lifelong leadership and service through an education marked by excellence and grounded in biblical truth." His chapel themes regularly explored how to center your heart, mind and life on Christ.
A hallmark of Dr. Brown's tenure was the development of new online programs and the launch of graduate programs including the Pharm.D., M.Ed., M.S.N., and M.B.A. These programs were part of a strategic plan, called Vision 2020, that focused on expanded student markets, increased scholarships and financial aid, and reduced financial dependence on student tuition.
The physical campus expanded to include the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies and Health Sciences Center, and 14 residence halls were renovated. In 2012, the University celebrated the 125th anniversary of Cedarville's 1887 charter.
Dr. Brown and his wife, Lynne, were deeply involved in students' lives. They regularly hosted student groups and gatherings in their home and mentored engaged couples in the "Fit to be Tied" program. Lynne established Women for Scholarship to raise funds for students with financial need. Students appreciated Dr. Brown's approachability, genuine care, and quick wit.
Dr. Paul H. Dixon became the eighth president of Cedarville College in 1978. A graduate of Tennessee Temple University and Temple Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. Dixon spent 14 years as an evangelist before becoming president. In 1986, while president, he earned his doctorate in higher education from the University of Cincinnati. He also holds an honorary doctor of divinity degree from his alma mater, and the honorary doctor of laws degree from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
A glance at the 25 years of Dr. Dixon's presidency reveals great achievements for Cedarville University. But Dr. Dixon would be the first to say that the only explanation for Cedarville is God. The success of the University may be due in part to Dixon's God-given ability to balance stability and change. Without fail, Dixon has kept the University in step with its credo — "for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ" — and its mission — "to provide an education consistent with biblical truth." Faculty and staff have named his strong emphasis on chapel and his challenging sermons as two of the most significant characteristics of his presidency. His evident, passionate desire for students to take part in the Great Commission never waned. Under Dr. Dixon's leadership, daily required chapel continued to be a priority on campus.
Yet the very opposite of stability — change — has been another building block of Dr. Dixon's tenure. With a strong vision and a strategic plan in hand before he even began his job, Dixon has led the University into tremendous growth. In his 25 years, $100 million in facilities have been built on a campus that has expanded from 180 acres to 400. Cedarville attained university status in 2000 and offers more than 100 programs, including graduate degrees. Enrollment has blossomed from 1,185 students in 1978 to more than 3,000, and the faculty has grown from 60 to 203. As well, the University's focus on technology positioned it as a leader in the digital age.
As Dr. Dixon came to the conclusion of his 25 years as president, he modeled the life verse which he and his wife, Pat, chose: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way" (Psalm 37:23). In May 2003, Dr. Dixon became the Chancellor of the University, as the mantle of the presidency was passed to William E. Brown, formerly the president of Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. The Dixon Ministry Center, opened in 1996, was named in honor of Paul and Pat Dixon.
Dr. James T. Jeremiah, born in New York in 1914, graduated from Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, New York, in 1936. Dr. Jeremiah assumed his first pastorate in Panama, New York, followed by a move to the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio, in 1938. In 1940, he began his service as the pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio. It was while serving in Dayton that Dr. Jeremiah became aware of the plight of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio, whose trustees in 1953 were looking for a merger with another institution or another group to assume the responsibility for the College, given it was on the verge of closing. At the same time, the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland was searching for another property to which they could move to ease crowdedness and to expand to a four-year college program. Dr. Jeremiah's service on the Board of Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute and his awareness of the availability of the Cedarville College campus led him to be instrumental in the decision by Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland to merge with Cedarville College, taking over an institution with declining enrollments and increasing debt.
Though reluctant to leave the church ministry he loved, Dr. Jeremiah was finally persuaded to take over the leadership of Cedarville College, now under Baptist direction after its 66 years under the Presbyterians. With Dr. Jeremiah's servant leadership, the College began the transformation from a struggling school to an accredited institution of higher learning respected for its graduates, programs, faculty, and facilities. College enrollment steadily increased during Dr. Jeremiah's tenure, reaching more than 1,200 by the mid-1970s. This transformation of the institution also included the expansion and development of the campus with major new facilities being constructed and additional land being purchased for future growth.
During his tenure as the President of Cedarville, Dr. Jeremiah earned an undergraduate degree in history from Central State University in 1961, a Master of Arts degree form Winona Lake School of Theology in 1968, and he was awarded the honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Cedarville College in 1974. Dr. Paul Dixon, Cedarville's eighth president, said of Dr. Jeremiah at the time of his death in 2000, "Dr. Jeremiah has been 'Mr. Cedarville' for the past 47 years. He provided the vision and energy to transform a struggling college into an institution of higher learning that attracts some of the brightest and most committed Christian young people in America." Dr. Jeremiah stepped down as president in 1978, and assumed the role of Chancellor, which he held until his death in August 2000. The Jeremiah Chapel in the Dixon Ministry Center is named in honor of Dr. James T. Jeremiah.
Dr. Leonard Webster, the Dean of the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland, was selected as President of the Institute in 1953. Thus, when the merger with Cedarville College was completed, he became the new president of the College. Dr. Webster was soon thrust into managing the move from Cleveland to Cedarville, assuring a student body for the fall of 1954, and finding a faculty for the College to complement the faculty of the Baptist Bible Institute. In his brief tenure as president, Dr. Webster represented the College at the national and State of Ohio conferences of the Regular Baptist Churches to promote the College and to raise the necessary funds to keep it solvent. The stresses of this transition and of a developing leadership crisis led to the resignation of Dr. Webster in June 1954.
Following the resignation of Ira Vayhinger as President, the Business Manager of the College, Mr. E. H. Miller was appointed as President. It was while Mr. Miller was President that Cedarville, in order to sustain the viability of the College, continued to actively seek a merger with another institution or to invite the assumption of operations by other church denominations. Without such actions, it appeared that the College would be forced to close at the end of the 1952–53 academic year. It was during early 1953 that the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland, looking for larger quarters for its growing program, made an offer to merge with Cedarville College and assume control not only of the charter and campus of the College, but also of its growing debt. Following the unanimous vote of both Boards of Trustees to implement the merger, the transfer was completed on April 4, 1953. At that point E. H. Miller's tenure as president ended.
Following the sudden resignation of the third president, Walter Kilpatrick, in 1943, the Board of Trustees selected Ira Vayhinger as the College's fourth president. Mr Vayhinger had graduated from Evansville College in 1910, and had done graduate work at Oberlin Theological Seminary from 1910–1911. He had served as General Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association from 1911–1922. From 1923–1941, he had been a church finance consultant and campaign director, coming to Cedarville College in 1941 to become the Finance Director and Business Manager. It was Mr. Vayhinger's task to attempt to guide the College through the challenging years of World War II, when it was a struggle to maintain enrollments and financial stability. However, despite attempts to raise additional funds and to expand enrollment, the deepening financial crisis led to the resignation of Mr. Vayhinger in 1950.
The Rev. Walter Smith Kilpatrick was selected by the Board of Trustees in 1940 to replace Dr. McChesney. Rev. Kirkpatrick had graduated from Cedarville College in 1934 with honors. He studied for the ministry at Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh where he again graduated with honors and received an award to study in England. Following that opportunity, he spent a semester at the University of Basil in Switzerland. In addition, he received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh and completed his residency for the Doctor of Philosophy degree at Pittsburgh. Kilpatrick was inaugurated on October 4, 1940, a gala occasion which included an address at the inaugural dinner by the governor of Ohio, John W. Bricker. Kilpatrick's brief tenure as president was plagued by growing financial difficulties, made more difficult by the impact of World War II. In October, 1942, Kilpatrick asked for a leave of absence to serve overseas with the European Student Relief Fund, leaving the operation of the College in the hands of the Business Manager, Mr. Ira Vayhinger, who would serve as Acting President. Kilpatrick departed the College in early 1943, but, because of some personal difficulties, he did not complete the overseas assignment, and he also resigned as President in February of 1943.
Dr. Wilbert McChesney, born in Pennsylvania in 1871, attended Greersburg Academy and graduated from Franklin College in 1892. Following his graduation, he taught Latin and History at Franklin for two years and in 1894 became the first professor at Cedarville College when the doors officially opened for classes. He received his Masters and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Franklin College and a Doctor of Divinity from Tarkio College. Dr. McChesney served at Cedarville, not only as a faculty member, but also as Secretary of the Faculty, Vice President, and Dean. In 1915, upon the retirement of Dr. David McKinney, Dr. McChesney was named the second president of Cedarville. For a period of time, the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary was also located at Cedarville, and Dr. McChesney served the Seminary as professor of New Testament literature and later as professor of systematic and pastoral theology. Dr. McChesney commanded the respect of his denomination and of his community. In addition to his ministry at Cedarville, he served seven terms in the Ohio Legislature. He led the College during very difficult days during World War I and the Depression. Even so, one historian described those years at the College as the "golden years." As Dr. McChesney approached 70 years of age, the pressures of the Office of President and the desire for a younger man to assume the responsibilities of the administration led him to submit his resignation on June 1, 1939. It became effective in 1940 upon the appointment of Walter Kilpatrick as the third president of Cedarville. When an alumnus of the class of 1908 was asked his opinion of Dr. McChesney, he immediately responded, "He was the finest man ever connected with Cedarville College." At the completion of his 25 years as president, Dr. McChesney had served Cedarville College for 46 years. McChesney Hall, a residence hall constructed in 1999, was named in honor of Dr. McChesney.
The Rev. Doctor David McKinney was born in Philadelphia in 1860. He was educated in the Philadelphia public schools, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He also was awarded the Doctor of Divinity degree from Wittenberg College in 1895. The General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church elected him first president of Cedarville College in 1894. While president, he continued to serve his congregation in Cincinnati and commuted by train to Cedarville twice weekly to provide leadership in the development of a fledgling institution. Dr. McKinney was known for his energy and determination to see the College well established. He knew every student personally and was known as an inspiring speaker and a man of great intellectual ability. After resigning from the presidency in June of 1915, Dr. McKinney continued as President Emeritus and Trustee until his death in 1934. McKinney Hall, a residence hall constructed in 1999, was named in honor of Dr. McKinney.

Feinstein: "Morally correct" to force taxpayers to fund abortions
posted at 3:35 pm on December 9, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
I guess the Hyde Amendment that Congress has passed every single year for decades must have been immoral, in Senator Dianne Feinstein's view. CNS News asks Feinstein about the morality of imposing the costs of abortions on people who object to them, and Feinstein replies with a couple of non-sequiturs you'll be hearing over the remaining debate on ObamaCare:
As the Senate was debating the Nelson amendment Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Feinstein: "Is it morally right to use tax dollars from pro-life Americans to cover insurance plans that cover abortion?"
Feinstein said: "Is it morally correct? Yes, I believe it is. Abortion is legal, and there (are) certain very tragic circumstances that a woman finds herself in. Married, with an unborn baby that's unable to survive outside of the womb, her doctor tells her it's a threat to her health. I think she ought to have a policy available to her."
CNSNews.com asked: "So it's morally right for pro-life taxpayers to have to help pay for plans that cover abortion?"
Feinstein responded: "Please. We pay for a lot of things that we may or may not agree with, and taxpayers pay for it, for those things, as well."
There are a couple of problems with Feinstein's argument, not the least of which is that the Hyde Amendment, the Stupak Amendment, and the Nelson-Casey Amendment all made exceptions for rape, incest, and a threat to the mother's life. Furthermore, the other potential "tragic circumstances" all have to do with choices the mother made, whether married or unmarried. And none of these pieces of legislation have to do with outlawing abortion altogether, but instead put the responsibility for funding said abortions on the person who wants one.
Feinstein does have one thing correct; tax dollars go to a lot of things that taxpayers may find objectionable, whether that's the war in Afghanistan to studies on the effect of alcohol on young adults. However, this is also a non-sequitur in that people may find some public policy objectionable, but that's not the same thing as subsidizing the personal choices of individuals. Besides, Feinstein's statement is really an argument for more limited government, however, not an argument that supports promiscuous spending by elected officials.

Pueblo man accused of murdering 2-month-old baby
Bill Anthony Martinez arrested Monday
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. - A Pueblo man is arrested, accused of murdering his girlfriend's two month old baby girl.
Bill Anthony Martinez, 23, was taken into custody in Colorado Springs Monday night. Investigators said he was likely there because the baby was being treated at Memorial Hospital.
Investigators said the child had internal bleeding and a head injury, symptoms consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Pueblo Sheriff's Chief Charlene Graham said the baby was hurt Saturday night, but died Monday. She said on Saturday, authorities were called to the 700 block of south Joe Martinez Court in Pueblo West where they found the baby not breathing.
Graham said Martinez was caring for the baby, but the child's 33-year-old mother and two of four siblings were also in the house at the time.
"When we got there, a neighbor was performing CPR on the child," said Graham. "The subsequent investigation in Colorado Springs up at Memorial Hospital, doctors indicated the child had bruising and had a closed head injury."
Graham said she couldn't say whether the baby's mother could be facing charges. She said the woman's four other children were taken by social services and are now being cared for by relatives.
Martinez is being charged with first-degree murder.

If you own only one disc, this is it. The legendary Comet™ is a super accurate, straight flying approach disc. The venerable Comet is like a favorite pair of old shoes: trustworthy and comfortable. Need to go 300 feet on a straight line? Reach for a Comet.
Comet: voted as a player's "Best First Disc" by Disc Golf Review
"All I can say is WOW!!! This disc is absolutely amazing, and may be the most underrated disc on the market. It should be in everyone's bag from a beginner to a seasoned pro. I use the Comet for almost every midrange shot that I need from as close as 150 feet to as far as 380 feet. It does everything you could want a disc to do. The Comet will never come out of my bag as long as I am playing this game."
-Michael Johansen
"This is the easiest, straightest flying control midrange disc ever made. The most common thing I hear after throwing this disc is 'What was that??!!' I guess people aren't used to seeing something go so straight with a slight drift to the right. I also love that I can throw a very controlled shot 200-300 feet from a stand still."
-Adam Goodman
"Once you try the Comet you will never take it out of your bag again. I put up any amount of money to bet that no other disc will stay as straight or slightly turned over in slow speeds. And the best part is that you do not have to break it in to make it work. You can use it and rely on it right out of the box."
-World distance record setter Chris Max Voigt

The island city of Key West has a full roster of events to celebrate and commemorate the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, a national holiday since 1986 that honors the minister who became the iconic civil rights movement leader.
This year's MLK holiday falls on Monday, but events started Saturday night with the second annual free holiday dinner at Casa Antigua, 314 Simonton St., with musical performances by Queen Kathleen, the Blessed Community Gospel Choir and the Voices of Praise Choir.
Key West tends to go all out in honoring a leader like King, said Mayor Craig Cates.
"I don't think it seems like a lot," said Cates, via phone Friday from Washington, D.C., at the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors. "It just seems like a natural thing to do, with 'One Human Family,' and what Martin Luther King Jr. did for freedom and equal rights."
Cates said he plans to return to the island in time for the MLK parade, set to line up at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Bahama Village. He was going to stay an extra few days in D.C. to attend Obama's inauguration, but changed his mind.
"It's too cold, so I'm coming home," said Cates. "I'll definitely watch [the inauguration]. I'm not going to stand out there in 30-degree weather to watch it."
City Commissioner Tony Yaniz, however, is braving the icy chill to attend the ceremony Monday.
King, who was born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Ga., was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1964, three months after delivering the eulogy for four little school girls killed in a dynamite blast at Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church.
He was killed, at age 39, by a sniper's .30-caliber rifle shot that entered through his right cheek while he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968.
The King holiday packs an extra historical wallop in 2013, as the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, is sworn in for his second term.
Events have been added to Monday's holiday specifically for the Obama address.
The Southernmost Inaugural Ball is set from 8 to 11 p.m. Monday at the Harry S. Truman Little White House, 111 Front St., after an "All-American Cookout" from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the same location, during which the 57th presidential inauguration and address will be shown live.
Tickets are available at 305-295-7676.
The Interfaith Ministerial Alliance (IMA) will hold the 2nd Annual Interfaith Scholarship Prayer Breakfast at 8 a.m. Monday at the Marriott Beachside Resort, 3841 N. Roosevelt Blvd.
Tickets are $50, and proceeds go toward a college scholarship for a Key West High School student.
The Rev. Charles Adams, the acclaimed minister at the Hartford Memorial Church in Detroit since 1969, will deliver the main address at the breakfast.
Adams, a prominent preacher who has spoken worldwide, is making his first trip to Key West this weekend, according to the Rev. Darryl Robinson, who said the full weekend calendar of MLK events suits the times.
"It reflects the magnanimous nature of Dr. King's influence," said Robinson on Friday. "There no one way to celebrate his life and legacy. We can always do it in new and creative ways. That is why this small community has found so many different ways to do it. We're not satisfied doing it one way."
Adams is a great catch for the island, said Robinson, as he is a widely sought speaker who taught at Harvard and has roots in the civil rights movement.
"He represents both the highest in academic excellence but the best in the preaching tradition in the African-American church," said Robinson. "He recently retired from Harvard Divinity School."
Key West's Dr. Jerome Covington will receive the Drum Major for Justice Award, given to someone who embodies the spirit of King's struggle for racial justice, equity, and compassion.
For tickets, call 305-296-5593 or 305-292-5401.
For more information about the breakfast, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.keywestinterfaith.org.
Local groups and city staff will hold the annual picnic, aimed at families, Monday afternoon at the MLK Community Pool and Community Center, 300 Catherine St.
From 1 to 4 p.m., hot dogs, sodas and other snacks will be offered at the Bahama Village center.
That's also where the community's traditional parade will begin gathering at 4:30 p.m. before marching through the streets to its destination, the Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church, 702 Whitehead St..
The church's annual MLK service begins at 6:30 p.m.

In this block you will notice I used mismatched red fabrics and you might want to do the same. I mention the use of this later on in the tut.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
In this block you will notice I used mismatched red fabrics and you might want to do the same. I mention the use of this later on in the tut.
In this picture, you will notice how the points and intersections come together and must meet well. I'll show another pic also, but I did have a few that were (shhh) 1/8" off! haha!
I like to show the few pics where they do meet well! haha! Here's another one!!
Block Placement:
In the next few pics, you can see how the blocks were scattered to highlight certain areas. When I look at the quilt, I like to just visualize a lower case "t" going down the block and across and using that to centralize the highlighting blocks when placing the blocks on the design wall. You can use anything as a focal point and artists are great for pointing you to look in the right direction at their work when finished so keeping that in mind, we will focus on the mid-center sections of the quilt as the focal points up, down and across.
You'll notice, too, that there may be an area where some dark blocks congregated. This is okay to let this happen~! There may be some areas where 2 light background blocks came together and I left it that way, or maybe 2 med. colored blocks came neck to neck. That's okay too! You're the artist, after all, so do what you want best! Point the onlooker to the area in the quilt you want emphasized! Sometimes I do; sometimes I don't!
In one of the pics we'll be looking at the pale background blocks. The pales are needed! Select your palest of pales for a great highlight! One light blue I selected looks white online, but is actually not. It worked great! In life and in nature, there are pale, dull areas and not everything is bright and shiny! We need neutral areas in life and in art! It's the pales that make the darks look good!! It's those darks that make the pales look good! I had wanted to do some low contrast in the pales but never got around to it so the quilt got finished without them, but there's always another time when low contrast will call out to you! The whole idea with the final quilt is to have it look natural and not everything in order as everything is not in order in real life! The artist doesn't always give you the full picture, but sometimes just a hint of something is certainly more appealing and interesting! It's the same thing for quilts! Do the unexpected in a quilt with a shape, a color, a focal point, a mystery, a mismatched color and you will have a 'unique' creation! Put in a surprise element!
Here is a pic of the light background blocks:
One of the worst things in the world is a quilter not knowing when to stop on her creation! I'm sure you've seen one of those 120x120 quilts that would've looked better if they had stopped at 36x36! Just think how boring it must have been for them to repeat the same 3 colors months/yrs on end 10-ft. wide or more. Since the block only finishes at 5 or 5.25, it certainly is not a size you would want to do that large so it is nice to just give a small sampling of these blocks and use the rest of the spaces to fill in with inner/outer borders to make a lap size or twin size quilt. It kind of gives you a hint of how beautiful a full size quilt of this would be, i.e., that is if you would want to undertake such a large project on. I love this block, but let's face it; it is not a quickly made block! It's one of my most favorite blocks to look at, but not do! I certainly would never PP one for the accuracy alone when you can get a quicker version of one not so perfect! You can see how by the pics of how challenging it can be to not cut corners off, meet all points precisely as well as intersections too! Which block can give you that kind of challenge? Ok. There are a few more like it too! lol.!! Hopefully, you won't cut off as many points as I did in this one! And if you do cut a little corner short, it's no big deal! It will add to the glamour of it we hope!
Joining Blocks:
In taking the blocks off the design wall, do them row by row and place a piece of masking tape on the beginning block of each row with its appropriate row number. You can see how I've done that in these pics. Lay a single row out and sew them together while keeping them in order at the same time. Then join the rows together.
Next is a pic of all the blocks stacked neatly and numbered ready for sewing! Then the following pic shows a close up so you can see the block with masking tape marked #3 on the block for easy identification and keeping it all in order! lol.
These are the steps to making the block.
In closing, I just want to say that I hope this tutorial has been a big help to you! At least by seeing some of the sample blocks, you now have a better idea of what to make and how to get that 'updated antique' look without it being too bright yet still maintaining those wonderful warm colors used in antique quilts that give it that charm. Hope yours turns out great and be sure and post pics of your creations for all of us to enjoy!! Happy quilting! n2

Reviews of this property
We stayed at this place for 5 nights. Very tiny place, beds was too narrow for two people and the access was from a very nasty cluttered parking. There was a kitchen and/or restaurant upstairs that was very noisy up to the middle of the night. Dishes were cracked and there was some used sugar and rice and expired cooking oil from previous users. Sheets were not so clean and there was some towel that doesn't seem good. We don't like it at all.
The accommodation was clean with all the elements of a lease. Beware the shower can be very hot. By cons bedding and sofa bed are of poor quality. For the reception we have only one telephone contact (nice but simple and succinct damage.
What bothers most is the restaurant's kitchens above which can be noisy at night. for the rest of a day's walk it irritates some
Otherwise the place is quiet, close to all amenities metro, supermarket and other ...
Le logement était propre avec tout les éléments d'une location. Attention à la douche qui peut être très brûlante. Par contre la literie et le clic clac sont de qualité médiocre. Pour l'accueil nous avons qu'un seul contacte téléphonique (agréable mais simple et succinct dommage.
Ce qui dérange le plus c'est les cuisines du restaurant au dessus qui peut être bruyant le soir. pour le repos d'une journée de marche cela énerve un peu
Sinon l'endroit est calme, proche de toutes commodités métro, supermarché et autres...
Bon séjour dans ce petit appartement situé dans une rue très calme. Excellente localisation à deux pas du métro et des bus. Équipement conforme à la description et bien tenu. Un seul regret: la présence des cuisines d'un restaurant donnant dans la cour, ce qui génère du bruit le soir (ils jetaient leurs bouteilles entre 23 et 24h!).
Good stay in this small flat located in a very quiet street. Very convenient location close to the tube and bus lines. Correctly fitted and clean. My only negative comment: the kitchen of a restaurant is opening in the same court and the evening is fairly noisy, mainly when they clean and dispose the empty bottles...good attention from the tennant.
Great value for money in that location. The flat is small but has everything you need. Edem is was friendly and helpfull. I would book again.
The only positive about our stay was the location, beautiful neighborhood and 5 min walk to bus stop and Lancaster Gate station. The guy that would let us in the apartment, opened a door that led to a parking full of junk and from there the door to the apartment. Small, poorly decorated with used supermarket items left there from previews tenants. There was a problem with the pressure of the water in the shower so we needed the double amount of time to have a shower. No windows, just a spot with glass on it to look like a window and a rusty dirty blind. I find the top reviews for this place very odd.
In general the place was clean, and the heat was fine, we were kept very warm. The owner was polite and helpful and assisted us for something we asked. However, we have visited London many times and we consider this stay was budget at it's best, we paid less for better accommodation, so for its state it was overpriced. Of course this is subject to taste, but personally we wouldn't recommend this place to anyone or visit again, this are what reviews are for anyway.
Apartment was easy to find, not far from Lancaster Gate subway station. We were a bit earlier then expected, so we had to make a phone call to Edem, which was answered very quickly and we could get into the small, but nice apartment.
There were some restaurants etc in the neighborhood, but haven't actually walked around, so I don't know what there was.
We slept there half dec.
We were a group of 4, two slept on the bed and two on the couch. There's a fridge where we could put in breakfast and drinks. TV was good, wifi worked really good. There is heating, Edem explained how to turn it on and off. Shower was abit hard to figure out, but leaving it on between 6 and 5 was the right temperature for the winter. Towels were provided.
Restaurant on the second floor, but we didnt really had much trouble with the noise. After 10/11 pm the noises stop.
Very near Hyde Park, which was really nice. Walking from Marble Arch to Lancaster Gate was longer then I originally thought :D but subway is easier.
Me and my family stayed 4 nights at Edem place. It was perfect. We had a 1year old baby and Edem added a baby cot. Also we could cook, all necessary kitchen tools were available. The courtyard is shared with a restaurant but the few noises stop around 11pm. It was not a problem at all.
I recommend it ! It's safe, clean and confortable place ;)
We had a great time, the apartment but there was changed the night before departure. Edem was very kind because he phoned, emailed and even a text message to inform me and show me a preview of the new home. The apartment replacement was far greater than that booked, confortable because it has everything and more than we can serve, clean and in a strategic position: 3 metro lines in a minute from the apartment. Bayswater is an excellent area where you stay, there are local, it is close to downtown, convenient for spostamenti.Ottima choice, Great Landlord
Ci siamo trovati benissimo, l'appartamento però ci è stato modificato la sera prima della partenza. Edem è stato gentilissimo perchè ha telefonato, inviato una mail e pure un sms per informarmi e mostrarmi in anteprima la nuova casa. L'appartamento sostitutivo era di gran lunga più grande di quello prenotato, confortevolissimo perchè dotato di tutto e anche più di quello che può servire, pulito e in posizione strategica: 3 linee di metro a un minuto dall'appartamento.Bayswater è un'ottima zona dove soggiornare, ci sono locali, è vicino al centro, comoda per gli spostamenti.Ottima scelta, Ottimo locatore
The flat is at a very good central location, close to two tube stations. Our host Edem is very nice, and flexible with check in/out times. Even though there is a restaurant on the second floor, we did not find the noise bothersome. We were 3 adults and one baby and we found the space to be the right size, we appreciate the laundry machine (no dryer), and used the kettle and cooker for simple meals. The neighbourhood felt safe as there are lots of hotels and tourist walking around in the area . Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Reading on in Merritt's book, I soon learned why aspects of number theory have attracted the interest of gear makers. Here is an example of the basic problem. Suppose you have a shaft that turns once per minute, and you want to design gears that will slow this motion to one revolution per day, which works out to a speed ratio of 1,440 to 1. The first law of gearwork says that the speed of a gear is inversely proportional to the number of its teeth. Thus the most direct solution would be a driving gear (a pinion) with just one tooth, meshing with a driven gear (or wheel) of 1,440 teeth. But a one-tooth gear would be extremely awkward, and a 1,440-tooth gear is inconveniently large. You could solve the problem of the too-small pinion by multiplying both sides of the ratio by some convenient number, say 10. You would then have a pinion of 10 teeth, but of course the already-too-large wheel would be even larger, with 14,400 teeth.
The answer to this quandary is a compound gear train, where two or more pairs of mating gears progressively reduce the rotational speed. In a two-stage train, a pinion a meshes with a wheel A; then a second pinion b, mounted on the same shaft as A, turns wheel B. The overall gear ratio is a/A x b/B, and so you can choose any convenient values of a, A, b and B that yield the correct product. For example, compound gears with the ratios 6/200 and 5/216 form the product 30/43200, which reduces to the required 1/1440. If wheels of 200 and 216 teeth are still too large, then a three-stage train with ratios of 6/72, 6/60 and 5/60 would yield the same result. (I ignore the fact that each pair of gears reverses the sense of rotation.)
The next question is: Where do numbers like 6/200 and 5/216 come from? It's easy to verify that they produce the correct ratio, but how do you find such numbers in the first place? The answer comes straight from number theory: factoring. In the ratio 30/43200, the numerator has the prime factors 2x3x5, and the denominator breaks down into eleven factors: 2x2x2x2x2x2x3x3x3x5x5. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic guarantees that no matter how you group these factors, their product will always be the same. The factors of the numerator can be partitioned into two groups in just three ways: 6x5, 3x10 and 2x15. The factors of the denominator 43,200 can be partitioned into two groups in 41 distinguishable ways.
This application of factoring explains the presence in Merritt's book of a "table of factors of useful numbers up to 200,000." The "useful" numbers turn out to be those whose largest factor is no greater than 127, which Merritt suggests is a reasonable upper limit for the number of teeth on a gear. Number theorists have another word for the same concept: Integers that have many small factors are called "smooth" numbers.
Does the need to factor numbers make the design of compound gear trains a hard computational problem? Factoring has an enigmatic status in computer science: For conventional computer hardware, the only known factoring algorithms are inefficient, and therefore slow in the worst case, but no one has proved that better algorithms cannot exist. For gear design, however, the issue of algorithmic intractability simply does not arise, because the factoring of smooth numbers is always easy. Even the crudest algorithm—trial division—works quickly with numbers that have only small factors.

United States Attorney for the
District of Columbia
Judiciary Center

Channing Phillips (202) 514-6933
Mitchellville, Maryland Man Sentenced to 30 months in Prison for his Role in Fraud Scheme
Washington, D.C. - United States Attorney Kenneth L. Wainstein, Michael A. Mason, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and Jack P. Higgins, Jr., Inspector General for the United States Department of Education, jointly announced that Diallo Cobham, a 29-year-old resident of Mitchellville, Maryland, was sentenced yesterday to a prison term of 30 months by United States District Judge Reggie B. Walton, who also required the defendant to pay over $9,000 in restitution. Cobham previously pled guilty to a charge of wire fraud relative to his role in defrauding a mortgage company. His fraud was part of a larger scheme to wrongfully divert and spend money from the United States Department of Education (DOE.
According to the government's proffer at the time of defendant's plea, with which defendant agreed, Children's Cottage, Inc. ("Children's Cottage") was a children's day care center incorporated and licensed by the State of Maryland to operate at 5507 46th Avenue in Riverdale, Maryland (the "Riverdale Property"). Children's Cottage was controlled by defendant's mother, Beberly D. Cobham.
DMD Enterprises, Inc. ("DMD Enterprises") was a real estate and entertainment company controlled by the defendant. The defendant maintained a Bank of America account in the name of DMD Enterprises ("DMD account"). His mother also used the DMD account as a business account for Children's Cottage. Specifically, his mother used the DMD account to pay the salary for the Children's Cottage employees.
On or about April 7, 2000, the defendant signed certain paperwork to purchase the Riverdale Property for his mother. At settlement, his mother provided a check to pay for the property in its entirety. The defendant knew that it was unlikely that his mother could get a loan for the Riverdale Property without misrepresenting certain facts in the loan paperwork. The defendant also knew that his mother's home was subject to imminent foreclosure as a result of his mother's failure to pay her home mortgage.
Some time thereafter, in the Spring of 2000, the defendant went to the bank to withdraw money. The bank teller told the defendant that the FBI was investigating the account whose assets were now frozen. The defendant asked his mother why the account was frozen. His mother replied that she had done something wrong and would take care of everything.
On June 22, 2000, the defendant applied for a loan in his name from Capitol City Mortgage. His mother told the defendant that the funds from the loan would be used to make the back-payments on his mother's home mortgage. The collateral for the loan was the Riverdale Property.
To receive the loan, the defendant and his mother met with a mortgage broker in Lanham, Maryland. The defendant signed the credit application and certified that the information in the application was accurate. The loan application falsely stated that he earned $43,000 per year as a Stop & Shop manager. While completing the loan paperwork, the defendant saw bogus W-2 forms, which purportedly showed that the defendant had earned $40,000 per year. Although the defendant did have access to the DMD account, he never withdrew any sum of money remotely approximating $40,000 from the DMD account. Moreover, he never received a paycheck from his mother. The defendant knew that the W-2 forms were fraudulent.
After the defendant signed the credit application, the credit application was sent by facsimile from the broker's office in Lanham, Maryland to Capitol City Mortgage in Washington, D.C. After the loan paperwork was faxed, the defendant received in his name approximately $75,000 from Capitol City Mortgage. The funds from the loan were wired by Capitol City Mortgage into the DMD account.
This matter arose out of an investigation of a diversion of $995,136.17 of Impact Aid funds from the DOE to a banking account of Children's Cottage As is stated above, the account was owned by Beberly Cobham and the diversion was done with the assistance of Roger Bowen. Both Cobham and Bowen previously pled guilty in that diversion and cooperated with the government in the trial of another individual, John Brugada Holmes, but the jury was not able to reach a verdict as to Holmes's actions relative to this diversion of DOE funds. Holmes was convicted, however, of a similar, second diversion of DOE funds at about the same time to a different bank account. He was sentenced last August by Judge Walton to approximately 14½ years in prison and required to pay over $200,000 in restitution. Cobham and Bowen were sentenced in June of last year by Judge Walton. Cobham was given five years of probation, while Bowen was sentenced to four months of imprisonment, followed by four months of home confinement, and both were jointly and severally liable for restitution in the amount of $147,397.76.
In announcing this sentence, U.S. Attorney Wainstein, Assistant Director Mason, and Inspector General Higgins commended the work of FBI Special Agents Thomas Chadwick and Debra LaPrevotte, and Special Agents George Baxavaneos and Gary Mitchell of the Department of Education Office of the Inspector General. They also praised Paralegal Specialist Paula Pagano, litigation support specialist Debbie Dunn, and Legal Assistants Shavonne Jennings-Rush and Teesha Tobias. Finally, they acknowledged the excellent work of Assistant United States Attorneys J. Patrick Rowan and Howard Sklamberg, who handled this matter initially, and Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Rosen and Daniel Butler, who prosecuted the trial and the sentencings.

This practical challenge invites you to investigate the different
squares you can make on a square geoboard or pegboard.
This activity investigates how you might make squares and pentominoes from Polydron.
How many ways can you find of tiling the square patio, using square
tiles of different sizes?
If you are a teacher click here for a version of the problem suitable for classroom use, together with supporting materials. Otherwise, read on ...
Nine squares with side lengths $1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15$ and $18$ cm can be fitted together with no gaps and no overlaps, to form a rectangle.
What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Once you've had a chance to think about it, click below to see how three different pupils began working on the task.
This is how Anna started:
Here is what Brendan tried:
Here is Chandra's initial approach to the problem:
Can you take each of these starting ideas and develop them into a solution?
Allow pairs to work on the task so that you feel they have made some progress, but do not worry if they have not completed it or if they report being stuck. The aim at this stage is for everyone to 'get into' the problem and work hard on trying to solve it, but not necessarily to achieve a final solution. Make sure that the children have easy access to any resources that they
are likely to need but don't put anything out on tables already otherwise this may lead them down particular routes.
At a suitable time, hand out this sheet to pairs. Suggest to the class that when they've finished or can't make any further progress, they should look at the sheet showing three approaches used by children working on this task. Pose the question, "What might each do next? Can you take each of their starting ideas and
develop them into a solution?". You may like pairs to record their work on large sheets of paper, which might be more easily shared with the rest of the class in the plenary.
Allow at least fifteen minutes for a final discussion. Invite some pairs to explain how the three different methods might be continued. You may find that some members of the class used completely different approaches when they worked on the task to begin with, so ask them to share their methods too. You can then facilitate a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages
of each. Which way would they choose to use if they were presented with a similar task in the future? Why?

Richard Johnson: Pineapple chicken stir-fry — this is going to be terrific. It's going to go really quickly, so we've got to make sure that we have all of our ingredients ready. So I've got my rice cooked; I chopped up all my vegetables. We've got some nice, fun ingredients. We've got some bok choy. We also have our chicken already marinated and ready to go. The last thing we need to do is to make our sauce, and what we're going to use to do that is some fresh ginger, which I'm going to use with this very fine grater. If you like the peeling, you can leave it in; go ahead and do that. That looks pretty good to me. We're also going to use some of the pineapple juice that we used from the canned pineapple in this recipe, some rice vinegar, some low-sodium soy sauce and some cornstarch. Now I'm going to need to whip that up real quick to dissolve the cornstarch. I want to make sure my cornstarch is all the way dissolved before I cook. And our last ingredient is some fresh garlic, so I'm just going to dice that up a little bit; throw it in our bowl.
I want to make sure my wok is hot; I've got a little water to test it with. Looks good, nice and hot, ready for oil. The ingredients that are going to take the longest to cook are my carrots and my peppers, so I want to start off with them. As soon as I put them in there, give it a nice stir; you keep them moving, for just a couple of minutes, and then we'll add our bok choy and our pineapple. Now, the pineapple can add a little liquid to the process, so it's just going to steam a little bit and make our carrots and peppers a little more tender. Just at the very end, some fresh green onion and some snow peas. Now those are going to cook really quickly as well, so we don't want to add them until the very end. Give them a couple of quick tosses, no more than a minute, and we're ready to remove that to a bowl, just to set it aside for a minute.
We're going to cook our chicken next. A little more oil, and then right in with our chicken. Keep it moving. If you lose a little heat in your wok, just slow down, let it catch up, let it brown. We want to get some nice caramelization going on, so we'll let that just sit for just a minute. Depending on how big you have your chicken cut, it might take between three and five minutes for it to cook. But you really want to make sure that it's done before you move on, and really the only way to do that is using a thermometer. So when I think it's close, I'm going to pile it up in the middle of my wok and use my thermometer. And what I want to make sure is that anytime I cook with poultry, that it's at least 165 degrees for 15 seconds. And that looks really good. Give it a couple more tosses. Add my vegetables back in. Let all those things get to know each other real well, give my sauce one more stir to make sure that cornstarch is completely dissolved, and pour it right over. Make sure you stir it right away. What we're looking for here is for the cornstarch and the sauce mixture to coat the vegetables and the chicken really well, and it shouldn't be cloudy. It should look clear and kind of shiny. Now that's looking really good to me, it smells terrific — I wish you could smell this.
What we're going to end up with is something that looks something like this. Lots of nice, bright colors, great textures, good flavors, a lot of nutritional value, very quick, very easy. Enjoy!

Michael Bush,
I did a trial on one of my higher hives today. I powdered sugered the brood frames today and added some syrup with eo's. I will give it a day or two and repeat the 24 hr drop measurement.
Michael Bush,
I did a trial on one of my higher hives today. I powdered sugered the brood frames today and added some syrup with eo's. I will give it a day or two and repeat the 24 hr drop measurement.
This is an update on my mite counts and treatment with hopguard strips.
The original hive
7-15-11 3 day mite count of 62. Treated with hopguard strips on 7-22-11 2 per brood box.
8-2-11 2 day mite count of 6. 9-6-11 3 day mite count of 37.
10-5-11 2 day mite count of 179
Swarm hive
6-30-11 3 day mite count of 10, 8-2-11 2 day mite count of 12, 9-6-11 3 day mite count of
70. 9-8-11 treated with hop guard strips 2 per brood box. 10-5-11 2 day mite count of 103
Russell hive
9-6-11 3 day mite count of 108
9-8-11 hopguard strips applied 2 strips per brood box. 10-5-11 2 day mite count of 49
All counts done with sticky boards, natural drop
Interesting. Do you plan to retreat? The rebound is high.
Yes, early on, the mite count didnt build up as fast, but the last few times, it surely did. I am going to retreat, but am undecided what to use. I had read another post about applying the hopguard strips again a week later. I would like to use something else, but dont know what to use. I dont have to worry about honey supers, because I have removed them. I am concerned though about the hive with the highest mite count (179), that I might need to take action quick for them. What do you other beekeepers think?
Is everyone else seeing the lack of sustainable mite reduction after hopeguard treatments? It almost seems it doesn't have the knock out power.
You guys are grading by natural drop counts, which can be very misleading... try an ether roll to get a more accurate accounting...
Keep in mind that the drop rate should rise immediately, then get lower, then rise again ass each wave of brood emerges exposing the mites to the treatment...
You may be seeing something more like the majority of the mites that were alive, instead of just a percentage of them... an ether roll will let you know.
Yes, I bet you are correct R Russell. Just a little more info. I talked to Mann Lake about the Hopguard strips today. It says you can use them 3 times. They said for maximum efficiency a person could treat then 7-10 days later, reapply (2 strips per brood box), then in 7-10 days later reapply. They say that would get the emerging brood.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
I like the hopguard, it is easy to apply. It does work well, but you have to do the progressive weekly treatment for 3 weeks in a row or the strips may dry up and you miss a brood cycle. This means 4 strips per double deep hive per week. It may be pricey for some. For me the ease of use and no nasty smell, plus it is a food grade product.
Klamath Basin Beekeepers Association: www.klamathbeekeepers.org

I felt it worked well for its design. Hopsguard is not going to kill the mites under your capped brood. It will only kills the one on the surface. Hopsguard works great when your hive is broodless. I did some summer treatment to monitor the effects and the rebond. It was a good way to knock them back durning the summer but was not effective enough to insure it would not have an effect on winter brood. I did go back later and applied some late season treatments. By late season I mean later than when we would apply our typical treatment in preperation for winter. The results were awesome. Lack of brood ment that all mites were exposed to the treatment. temps were in the low 60's during the day and in the 40's at night. Although a proper treatment should be done before the raising of winter brood I did find this product to be highly effetive for the person who waits until the last min. or for a quick treatment during a flow.
I had a mite drop of about 100 after a 48 hour period (natural drop). Using the University of Manitoba's economic threshold (http://www.capabees.com/main/files/p...athreshold.pdf), if I take this count and divide by the number of bees I have in the hive, I get .0050%. The economic threshold for fall is 10%. Anything greater than, you should treat. If it is smaller, no treatment is necessary.
So initially I was concerned and even ordered the Mite Away strips. But after seeing this report and the economic thresholds, I will just sit tight.
Does anybody disagree with this research based on their past experiences? The data goes back 6 years and I know a lot of people on this site have been beeks for decades. Experience may trump scientific studies.....
Thanks for the link to the study. At first glance it seems very well done. My question to you is your percent infected. One of the charts list 33-43 mites in a 48hr period as correlating to about a 6% rate by the alcohol method from which they determined their treatment threshold. So it would seem your level is something more than 6% but I would guess less than 10%. My comment is that this is a natural system and although I understand the utility of a treat don't treat threshold I doubt it is that black and white in a natural system so I would take issue with the < 10% don't treat and >10% must treat. Then there is the questions of tracheal mites. They mention that if you have both you should treat. Have you checked for them? I just don't want you to have a false sense of security without full information. In the interest of full disclosure my personal bias is to lean towards treatment when there is doubt. I know others on this forum present a well reasoned case for having the opposite opinion. FWIW, Joe
Thanks, Joe.
I don't know how to check for tracheal mites
Me Beeing Me,
It is not easy. A university extension service may be the easiest place to start. There are some good web resources that you can do a search for.(I would start here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv4zzGv_x_Q and then follow their links). In short it involves dissecting the bee and looking in the trachea. Best if you have access to a dissecting microscope. If you do this video will talk you through it! Joe
I used hop guard II several days ago. The mite count on a sticky board under a screened bottom board was over 100 for a 24 hour count before using hop guard II. After the treatment the mite count for a 24 hour period was down to only 3. I used mite away quick strips and the mite count did not go down and it kill several hundred bees. The bees did not show any reaction to hop guard II. At this point I believe in the hop guard II
Whats the difference in hop guard and hop guard 2???????

Kiwis in Antarctica have braved sub-zero temperatures, snow flurries and early morning wake-up calls to take part in a 12-hour relay for cancer awareness.
The relay overnight was the first in the Cancer Society's annual series of Relay For Life events, which are taking place across New Zealand over the next two months - and it was the first ever to be held on the ice.
A group of 35 participants from Scott Base and the NZ Defence Force wrapped up in cold weather gear as they took turns to walk or run the 1.65km Hillary Track.
The track began straight up a hill behind the base, with each lap involving an elevation gain of 90 metres.
It was made even more challenging by the huge amounts of snowfall on Ross Island recently, with the snow shin-deep at some points despite staff pounding out the track in advance.
Light snow flurries, cloud cover and temperatures as cold as -12C added to the challenge.
But by this morning (Sun) the cloud had cleared, and the nearby mountains were bathed in light from the sun, which never sets at this time of year.
Two to three people took to the track at a time, with participants taking roughly 15 to 20 minutes to walk one lap.
Some people set alarms to get up for their allocated time on the track - with one participant waking at 3.30am to take part.
At the end of each lap, at the Hillary Field Centre, participants passed on their batons and marked their laps on a whiteboard.
The crew at the field centre passed the time playing table tennis and listening to music.
By the end of the relay at 7am today 139 laps had been completed - a total distance of 229km. Participants had also made a combined vertical climb of 12,510m - the equivalent of climbing Mt Erebus more than three times.
The batons used by the Scott Base staff will be returned to New Zealand for use in some of the 21 Relay For Life events being held in communities throughout the country.
More than 20,000 people are expected to take part in the relays from February 16 to the end of March.
Relay For Life is a global event, held in more than 20 countries, with the aim of raising awareness and funds to support cancer support services, education and research.

Here are the full protocols for the short.. and at quick glance, at some of them!!
Plushenko's transitions- only 3 of the 9 judges went below a 7.50.. but they went low enough that he only averaged 6.80 there. And judge #9 was a huge fan.
Judge #5 obviously liked Takahashi a bit much!
Someone gave Lambiel a +3 for his double Axel. RIDICULOUS. Even the +2 were stretching it IMO.
Judge #7 a little obnoxious giving Johnny +3 for all four of his final elements, and also way above average on most of the components scores. Obviously, a big fan
Chan's stepped out triple Axel still scored some 0's.. OK the height and distance were good, but come on. Kozuka had just as beautiful of a rotation and 2-footed his, and he resulted in all - GOE.
Many of the judges, including one who gave +2, gave him + GOE for the faltered final combination spin. Generous!
Judge #1 was a huge fan of Brezina..
I'm really laughing at some of the judges scores for Van der Perren's components, especially judge #4's transitions score for him!
Abbott's single Axel in the short got all -3, except judge #8 who decided it was +1. Humm...
Judge #1 didn't really care for Joubert at all, but the rest of the judges more or less (well, #7 had him low too) had him scored pretty consistent..
I looked through the protocols really quick, so I'm sure there is more that I'm missing. But discuss away
