The Destination
Cobb, California, is about as peaceful as it gets. It was, after all, the site the Maharishi chose to introduce his teachings of Transcendental Meditation in the early '70s. And Highway 175, which runs right through Cobb, made a cameo the same decade in another Zen-full book. Today, this town of about 2,000 in Lake County is home to several spiritual retreat centers, outdoor activities aplenty, and the same mellow vibe that put it on the map 40 years ago.
The Digs
Located just 25 miles from Calistoga and 15 miles from Clear Lake—putting it within bird's-eye view of wineries, water sports, golf, mountain biking, and hiking—the hilltop retreats of the one-bedroom Napa-Lake Stone Cottage and the studio Pine Cone Cabin are the perfect home base for experiencing Northern California. Both cottages feature knotty pine paneling, a rustic stone fireplace, and a large deck with a view of Cobb Mountain, while the Napa-Lake Stone Cottage is equipped with a full kitchen and a separate living room.
When you're ready to branch out, you're less than an hour's drive from Napa and Sonoma, putting you in the heart of wine country. Plus, there's plenty to do right where you are, with restaurants, hot springs, coffee shops, and Cobb Mountain all within a few minutes' drive.

Michael Taylor is one of Australia's foremost Abstract Expressionist artists. In work after work since the early 1960s, he has meshed feelings for the world around him with dynamic gestural expression. Yet the adventurous, bold, expressive qualities in Caryatid 1963 were hard-won.
Although Taylor's art training was largely traditional, he notes that adventurous teachers like Ralph Balson and Godfrey Miller also 'got a look in'.[1] He attended numerous classes with Balson, one of the most gifted abstract artists working in Sydney at the time.[2] Taylor recalls that it was very hard to see good reproductions of abstract art, let alone actual works. 'We used to go to Carl Plate's bookshop in Rowe Street. They were mainly little books on abstract art and they were few and far between.' Apart from artists like Balson, a new way forward was suggested in the 1950s with the exhibition Direction 1, which Taylor recalls, caused 'quite a stir'.[3] The work of Australian artists such as John Olsen, Robert Klippel and William Rose suggested a new freedom of expression, directions which came not from the Americans but from European artists of the School of Paris like Alfred Manessier, Vieira Da Silva and Jean-Paul Riopelle.
Taylor also absorbed influences from further afield. As part of his New South Wales Travelling Scholarship, awarded in 1960, he stayed for a time in England and then spent most of his three years away in Europe. He recalls seeing his first works by Willem de Kooning in London, as well as some early Jackson Pollock paintings in travelling exhibitions at this time. Later, canvases such as Caryatid were seen to reflect aspects of Taylor's interest in Spanish art and culture. As Daniel Thomas observes:
During his European studies Spain was where he was most at home. Spain is the country of black painting, of fiercely aristocratic, impersonal passion, the country of Velasquez and Goya and, in our time, of Tapies …
The best black paintings aren't dead black, they give their darkness a velvety glow, lights shine like silver, tender touches of pink hint of sensuous flesh …
Underneath the extreme, dignified reserve of black, there may lurk a passionate sensualist.[4]
Caryatid is not purely abstract. As the title implies, and a related drawing in the Gallery's collection suggests, the painting is symbolic of the female form.[5] It connects with the ancient idea that Taylor expressed as the 'female figure carrying the burdens of the world'. Symbolic resonances are combined with an intensity of feeling and a sensuous, rich painterly surface. As Deborah Clark writes, the painting is 'an expression of restless energy and force. The furling and unfurling tendrils of paint across the surface are part of a complex layering of dark and light tones, which give the work great depth.'[6] In later years, following his move to rural Cooma, Taylor's approach began to relate to the natural environment, often incorporating more vivid colour while retaining the intensity and vitality that informed his seminal works of the early 1960s.
Deborah Hart
[1] Michael Taylor notes that it was more traditional, figurative artists like Herbert Badham who dominated the classes, whereas Balson and Miller were sidelined. Michael Taylor in discussion with Deborah Hart, by telephone, August 2012; the artist's comments are from this interview, unless credited otherwise.
[2] Taylor recalls: 'We were all painting abstract geometric works in Balson's classes with flat brushes and I recall him coming up to me one day and suggesting that I might use a rounded brush instead. It suggested another direction.'
[3] Direction 1 opened at Macquarie Galleries, Sydney, in December 1956.

Varicella (or chickenpox) is a highly infectious disease, usually associated with childhood. By adulthood, more than 95 percent of Americans have had chickenpox. Eighty-five to ninety-five percent of pregnant women are immune to chickenpox, which means that there is no need to be concerned about this during pregnancy, even if the woman is exposed to someone with chickenpox. Nearly one to seven women out of 10,000 will develop chickenpox during pregnancy, however, because they are not immune.
The disease is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) which is a form of the herpes virus. Transmission occurs from person-to-person by direct contact, or through the air. Chickenpox is contagious one to two days before the appearance of the rash until the blisters have dried and become scabs. Once exposed to the virus, chickenpox may take up to 10 to 21 days to develop.
When a woman has a varicella infection during pregnancy, if during the first 20 weeks, there is a 2 percent chance for the baby to have a group of defects called the "congenital varicella syndrome", which includes scars, defects of muscle and bone, malformed and paralyzed limbs, a small head size, blindness, seizures, and mental retardation. This syndrome is rarely seen if the infection occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Another time that there is a concern with a varicella infection is in the newborn period, if the mother develops the rash from five days before, to two days after delivery. Up to 25 percent of newborns will be infected in this case, and develop a rash between five and 10 days after birth. Up to 30 percent of infected babies will die if not treated. If the mother develops a rash between six and 21 days before delivery, the baby faces some risk of mild infection.
In 1995, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a chickenpox vaccine. If the baby is treated immediately after birth with an injection of VZIG (varicella-zoster immune globulin), the infection can be prevented or the severity lessened.
If a pregnant woman has been exposed to someone with chickenpox, VZIG can be given within 96 hours to prevent chickenpox, or lessen the severity. It is important for pregnant women to avoid exposure to anyone with chickenpox if they are not sure whether they are immune to this infection.

[quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="JPizzack"]
all this Osi to Baltimore talk is confusing as a Giants fan....
I hope to the football gods that the Giants are not entertaining this pathetic offer.
3rd rounder? Why not make a trade on Draft day if the Giants wanted something?
Osi for a year is far better than 120th+ pick NEXT year....

[/quote]Its all talk. We only have 3 DEs at the moment.
Not really. I think they are planning to use put Kiwi back at DE this season. The Rivers trade would suggest that. We are actually loaded at LB right now without Kiwi.


text:
so the smack talk between the fans has been heated, as it should be for a game of this importance. you guys are confident in your team, as we are in ours, so i thought a friendly wager would be fun way to up the ante a bit.
if the giants win, i will come back to your board and post an apology for doubting the giants and promise my support in the super bowl.
if the niners win any giants fan taking the wager will post an apology for not believing the niners were the superior team and will promise their support in the super bowl.
are you really all in?

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes that Holland's long wait for a Champions League winner is down to one thing - money.
Ajax were the last side from the Netherlands to lift the 'cup with the big ears' when a teenage Patrick Kluivert scored the only goal against Juventus in May 1995. Holland enjoyed their fair share of success prior to that - Ajax won a hat-trick of European Cups in the early 1970s - but their 14-year wait for the trophy looks unlikely to end soon.
Current champions AZ face a battle to get out of Group H and could do with at least a point when Arsenal arrive in Alkmaar this evening. The visitors' manager is convinced that the lure of wages elsewhere in Europe is a major handicap for Dutch clubs.
"It is down to money," said Wenger.
"The difference between Holland today and 15 years ago is that the players leave early and the top foreign players don't come to Holland anymore and go somewhere else because of the difference in financial potential.
"You look at the Ajax or PSV teams that won the Champions League and they had Ronaldo and Romario who played in Holland. Today it is much more difficult for these players to come to Holland because in Brazil you have 200 scouts every week who look at a young player coming out. It has changed and become more difficult for Dutch clubs.
"They still do great work – PSV for years has done very well in South America - but it is more difficult. It is a cycle and only linked to financial power."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: Saw Dorsett on 4 Quarters yesterday and he said something interesting about Julius Jones. In fact, Dorsett even prefaced it by saying "Julius if you see this", and then he said, that Jones is running too tentative worried about fumbling. Said he keeps two hands (arms) on the ball too much, needs to get back to just instinctive, fluid running. He said that he knows Parcells hates for backs to put the ball on the ground, and that running backs hate it just as much, but implied that Parcell's obsession with it has Julius not running as fluid in traffic.

I am getting ready to sort a large amount of fabric. When you have a piece that is white with pink dots or white with thin green and yellow lines, which pile should I put it in?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am getting ready to sort a large amount of fabric. When you have a piece that is white with pink dots or white with thin green and yellow lines, which pile should I put it in?
Step back- squint- what color do you see?? then sort in that pile..
I think that's a personal thing depending on how you are sorting. I have my civil war all separate and for that if the white is the dominent color then I'd put it with the white and so on. For my other fabric, I'm still working on my system but I keep flannels together, I also keep kids fabric together; mainly because my daughter raids it once in a while and that is where she'd go and it limits her from going all thru it. I recently got a bunch of fabric and I'm also sorting it by type; some of it is for decorating, there is homespun and since I want to make a french braid if I ever get enough (I'm too broke to buy any now). I have a lot of large florals and that is together. Then there is alot the is color coded going dark to light. This is what makes since to me because of the way I quilt. I also have 30 to 40 fabric and thats also done separtely. Figure out how you think you'll use it and try to come up with a system that will allow you to easily find what you need or see what you have when you decide you want to make something. I also don't have what you would call large amounts of fabric and from what I've seen on here most wouldn't call it a stash so I might do it differently if I can every afford to have a "stash". Good luck; it's a good thing you are doing.
When I look at the fabric, what color strikes me? If the pink dots strike me most, it goes with the pinks. If the white background is what I first notice, it goes with whites.
I have all my 30's fabrics in a separate 3 drawer cabinet sorted in colors. Other fabrics are sorted by floral & colors etc. and type of fabric. I try to use colorways to keep them separate. That's about all the farther I go before it all becomes overwhelming to me.
I too have a large stash.
I sort by colour and in addition have separate collections of stripes, plaids, batiks, 30s, novelities, childrens,dots and a couple more I can't offhand remember.
I would put white w/ other colors in them in a separate pile if I had enough of them.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
a great question with some awesome answers. I keep holiday, animal print and juvenile fabric separate. But have struggled with the same problem on a lot of the others.
I sort my fabrics different, this means I take my favorite designers separate: all Fassetts together , all AmyButler, PhilipJacobs and BrandonMarblys. My Batics are together, cat fabrics and dots and my redworks too. The rest I sorted by colours!
have a nice day
meet me on FB
my albums
my blog
Thank you for all the help. Keep the suggestions coming. I am formulating a plan in my mind.


text: So I got a $500 TV like in February, and put down part of it on a new Target credit card that I opened up just to get 10% off the purchase. That's how they get you! I returned the TV like one week later and they didn't credit back all of the money to the credit card, they put it back on my debit card and left a small balance on the credit card! I don't think I knew that. So I forgot about the card, they sent two or three notices, I looked at the first one and I thought they would correct it, I only got two notices and nothing else. I kinda figured that they had corrected it maybe. Turns out there was like a $25 balance on the TARGET CREDIT CARD that has now charged off and they say that I owe them $168.41. That kind of chaps me, becuase the balance was supposed to be ZERO dollars, but they left $25 on there, and now with late fees and interest, it's $168.41 and it's charged off. So this will cost me $$thousands in extra interest payments. My advice. Get a loan ONLY for a house, an education and a vehicle. Everything else, save up and pay cash!

Dodge Dakota Models and Dakota History
Built as a durable utility pickup for drivers seeking a smaller alternative to full-sized trucks, the Dodge Dakota featured smaller dimensions than the Dodge Ram but was also one of the most capable vehicles in its class. After a 1997 redesign that involved the adoption of a Ram-like front end, the Dodge Dakota was offered with a regular and Club Cab model.
With the regular cab version of the 1998 Dakota, a 6.5-foot and 8-foot bed box was available. For 1998, the performance ante of the medium-sized pickup truck was raised by the presence of an R/T version of the Dakota with a 250-horsepower 5.9-liter Magnum V-8 powerplant.
A 5.2-liter Magnum V-8 engine also available for the 1998 Dodge Dakota pickup truck. Before the Chevrolet Colorado SS models arrival in 2009, the Dakota was the only commonly available mid-sized pickup truck in the United States with a V-8 engine. Other powerplants available on the 1998 Dakota also included a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a 3.9-liter V-6 engine.
Rear-wheel drive as well as a part-time four-wheel drive system allowed power to the ground. For the 2000 model year, a four-door Quad Cab version of the Dodge Dakota was introduced. Also in 2000, the trucks 5.2-liter V-8 engine was replaced by a new 4.7-liter displacement PowerTech V-8. Given a new look mirroring its full-sized Dodge truck counterpart, the Dakota was refreshed in 2005 with an all-new suspension. The regular cab version of the Dakota was discontinued on the newer model leaving the Club Cab and Quad Cab.
Engine choice for the 2005 Dodge Dakota consisted of a 3.7-liter V-6 or the 4.7-liter V-8 powerplant rated at up to 260 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. In 2010, the truck division of Dodge was divided into the Ram brand. As a result, the Dakota could be considered a Ram product for its final two years on sale. With dropping customer popularity, the Dakotas production ended after the 2011 model year.

12 Marathons For Autism
Nov 28, 2013 , 2:06 PM by Lyrella Trainer
A bit like a marathon, Autism is a condition that is a journey less travelled, at times gruelling and extremely mentally and physically challenging.
Two years ago Travis Saunders and his partner Fiona's world was turned upside down when their son Patrick was diagnosed with autism.
It made sense. With little eye contact, virtually no language skills and becoming stressed in the world around him, Travis and Fiona moved from Darwin to Adelaide to be closer to family and autism services.
This year in an attempt to raise awareness of the condition and to try and help his little boy, Travis took on the challenge to run 12 marathons in 12 months.
Spend some time with Travis as he speaks openly and at times emotionally about his son, the condition that has overtaken their lives and the strength he has found within the keep running.

Hello all! I'm very excited to join the community and take my first stab at keeping bee's. My dad kept bee's in Arkansas when he was younger on about 70 acres of land, and after spending some days taking macro photography of bee's and seeing a hive through a plexiglass window in our of our local markets I felt this desire to start a hive of my own. Since then I've checked out a handfull of books from the library and searching for anything I can on the internet.
I live in a Flagstaff AZ, a smaller town at 7,000ft. Summers here get up into the high 80's low 90's and winters are cold and long (we have a ski resort here). Since it's a smaller town there are no local beekeeper clubs, however I have found a professor at the university here that does beekeeping workshops. I don't have a lot of interest making money from this (though making enough to pay for the equipment would be nice!), it just seemed like a really interesting hobby dealing with some fascinating creatures.
Thankfully my timing is good, I've got all winter to educate myself and plan, but I've got a LOT of questions. I also want to try and spend as little money as possible for my first setup, I think it will be fun to build my own hives, tools, and even create my own apparel.
Anyway, very excited to be here and looking forward to sharing information with you all!

Every year leading up to the draft, I find myself really hoping we take 1 or 2 guys that I really want to see in Blue.
This year for me its 2 boise st players:
George Iloka (S)- big (6'3") strong safety(converted cb) who can really hit. He has some ball skills, but i think his role would be better served playing the Deon Grant roll where he could step up into the box and play the run, but also step back and run with a TE in the seam.
Doug Martin- Is the perfect compliment (and replacement for jacobs) to AB. is not the biggest guy (5'9" 223), but is very strong and very agile. Nickname is Muscle Hampster. Did 28 Reps at his pro day, and is a decent blocker (needs some work). He catches the ball out of the backfield. Is a downhill runner and keeps feet moving forward.
Who do you all like?

Airbus' newest joint venture in China progresses well on A350 work packages
Harbin Hafei Airbus Composite Manufacturing Centre (HMC), a joint venture between Airbus and its Chinese partners, has started to deliver elevators for the Airbus A350 XWB programme. A ceremony was held today in Harbin for the delivery of the first ship set of elevators. The elevators manufactured at HMC are delivered to Spain-based Aernnova Aerospace (ANN), who will deliver them to the Airbus plant in Getafe, Spain, where they will be integrated into the A350 XWB horizontal tail plane. ANN is a major supplier of aerostructures to Airbus.
Under a contract signed by HMC and ANN in 2010, HMC is responsible for manufacturing and assembling the complete set of carbon fibre elevators (an elevator is a movable control surface in the horizontal tail plane that makes the aircraft pitch up or down to increase or reduce its flight altitude). During the initial phase the A350 elevators were solely produced at ANN. Production in China started in 2012. After a period of transition, during which the elevators are produced at both ANN and HMC, the Harbin Manufacturing Centre will become the sole supplier of A350 XWB elevators.
According to an agreement signed in 2007 between Airbus and the Chinese government, Airbus agreed to allocate five percent of the A350 XWB airframe to be manufactured in China. The work packages to be carried out by HMC are a significant part of the five per cent.
Rafael González-Ripoll, Airbus China Chief Operating Officer, said: "The delivery of the first ship set of A350 XWB elevators by HMC is an important milestone in our long-term partnership with the Chinese aviation industry. The A350 XWB has taken to the sky and the programme is progressing on track. The Chinese have every reason to be proud of the contribution they are making to the A350 XWB."
Geng Ruguang, Executive Vice President of AVIC, the parent company of the majority shareholding Chinese partners of the HMC, said: "It's inspiring for the Chinese aviation industry to be involved in the development and production of the A350 XWB, which is the world's most advanced and most efficient aircraft, and to become an integrated part of Airbus' global supply chain. The delivery of the first A350 XWB elevator demonstrates one more step forward of HMC towards its set target. The development of HMC will also constitute a pulling force for the relevant local industries."
Pedro Fuente, Chief Operating Officer of ANN, said: "We at Aernnova are really satisfied with the very effective teamwork model developed together with the Harbin Manufacturing Centre to industrialize and progressively transfer the A350 XWB Elevators. We are impressed by the fast growing capabilities we are seeing every day. Clearly these are great pillars for a long term collaboration and mutual success."
Among the participants at the ceremony were Chinese government officials, European Government representatives, executives of Airbus and its Chinese partners including AVIC, an aviation industry group of China, representatives of ANN and other industry professionals.
The Harbin Hafei Manufacturing Centre, set up in 2009, is already producing work packages related to the Airbus Single Aisle programme (elevators, rudders and HTP spars) and starts today to deliver the first major part to the A350 XWB programme. In order to fulfil these work packages, especially those for the A350 XWB programme, including elevators, rudders, Section 19 maintenance doors and belly fairing parts, HMC began to build new facilities in 2009. The state-of-the-art new facilities were inaugurated in early 2011.

BURN OUT | 5 years ago | January 19, 2001 | Kris Frieswick commented on the tired state of our nation. | "Then there's the new presidency of George W. Bush. Not only does his cabinet bear a striking resemblance to his father's cabinet, but it even features a designee for secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, who's reprising a role he held under President Gerald Ford. What could be duller than that?
"Face it. We, as a nation are exhausted – we're so spent, we're even recycling presidencies. For the past few years, we've been running around like chickens with their heads cut off, creating new paradigms, eschewing convention, spending money like it grew on trees, taking risks with our professional careers and our families' long-term fiscal health in a bid to grab a piece of a great big smoke-and-mirror pie. We're just beat down. And now we're sitting on the sidewalk, battered and worn out with mud on our clothes, looking around and asking ourselves, 'What the hell was that all about?'
"There's only one thing you can do under these circumstances. Nest. Embrace your inner dullard. Get back in touch with that person you used to be before you became corrupted by 60,000 stock options and had the word 'chief' added to your title. Retrench. Reset your inner metronome from pretissimo to largo, or at least andante. See if you can remember what it feels like to take a long, deep breath without interrupting it to check your e-mail."
DÉJÀ VIEW | 10 years ago | January 19, 1996 | Peter Keough critiqued filmmaker Quentin Tarantino'sFrom Dusk till Dawn. | "For better or worse, art in the '90s has been the decade of recycling, not creation. In film, the embodiment of that trend's triumphs and disasters has been Quentin Tarantino. After basking in adulation for his pop pastiche masterpiece Pulp Fiction, he's now enduring a drubbing for the vacant Four Rooms. Those fearing that the great hope of independent filmmaking has shot his wad will find no consolation in From Dusk till Dawn, his 1990 script based on a short story by Robert Kurtzman and directed by fellow Room-er Robert Rodriguez. It's one thing to cut and paste and regurgitate the detritus of junk culture; it's another when the junk you're recycling is your own."
BIKER BLISS | 15 years ago | January 18, 1991 | Gail Ross explained why a young person would choose to pursue a career as a bike messenger. | "Boston's messenger community, like those in other cities, is heavily populated with young people who, for one reason or another, aren't ready to settle down, or who find corporate life stultifying, or who are simply drawn to the idea of tearing around on a bicycle eight hours a day. And indeed, one of the reasons few people understand why messengers choose to do what they do all day, day after day, is that they simply don't understand how much couriers love to ride their bikes.
"A few messengers never get a thrill out of riding; some become bored by it; others get wise and slow down, realizing it can be downright dangerous. But some people just take to it."

HBO and Brewery Ommegang have partnered up and are going to release 4 GoT inspired brews. Ommegang is a great microbrewery from Cooperstown, NY (now owned by Duvel) and are well known and respected for their well crafted Belgian and abbey styled brews, so fear not beer aficionados, these are going to be some damned good beers.
The first beer that they are set to release (sometime in March) is called Iron Throne and is a blonde ale inspired by House Lannister as they currently sit atop the Iron Throne.
If I were to guess about other brews, I'd think that there could be a Winterfell Stout or Barleywine Ale, a Wildling Hefeweizen (unfiltered), an Iron Isle IPA or ESB, maybe even an Oldtown Abbey Ale (dubbel or tripel), or a Highgarden Summer Ale flavored with orange and/or lemon with a hint of clove...
It could be a nice game guessing what the beers might be.

I am getting ready to install my first package this week and I need some input.
I was planning on setting up two warre hive bodies- taking the bars (or most of the bars) off the top box, then placing the queen cage on top of the bars of the bottom box. then dumping the bees on top of the queen cage, replacing the bars on the top box, and then setting the quilt and roof back on the hive.
I have seen some videos where people dump the bees in an upside down box, then flip them over. My bars are easily removable, so is my method okay?

It was in a fancy boutique cheese store last week, and I noticed they were selling honey. It was labeled as "Raw Honey" and had an enormous price, however, it just looked like nasty old crystallized honey. What makes this honey "Raw"?

Probably the label look out here comes a lot of openions.
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
That's not 'nasty old crystallized honey'. That's 'Natural Spoon Honey' and as such commands a premium price.
I agree with Ed.
The Federal government has not defined "raw honey", AFAIK, however, Utah has:
You can read the complete text at the link above, here are the most salient points:
Some people will say that the 118 degree dividing point is too high for "raw" honey.(b) "Raw honey" means honey:
37 (i) as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling, or straining; and
38 (ii) that has not been:
39 (A) heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit during production or storage; or
40 (B) pasteurized.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
My wife sells 12 oz jars of raw honey in her store for $6.50. Its one of her bigger sellers. No filtering and no heating. Right out of the holding tank. Try bottling out of 1000 gallon holding tank into a 12 oz jar.

The definitions for "raw honey" that I've heard are all over the board. Everything from straight out of the extractor without even rough straining to strained and heated, but not to the point of pasteurization. I've also heard maximum heating temperatures of 104, 108, 118, and 120 degrees. Are we confused yet?
In the words of the late Richard Taylor, describing honey as raw is like describing bananas as boneless...it just doesn't fit. No offense to those who use it on your labels, however, I choose to avoid it as being too ambiguous.
So, good to know that all of my honey is Raw Honey, and that the stuff that crystallised is Natural Spoon Honey. Awesome!
I don't heat my honey over the temps it might reasonably be exposed to in the hive, and then only to decrystalize (and it takes quite a while at lower temps).
I sell it as raw, unfiltered and from hives untreated by chemicals.
I've found that here is a market for such honey at $30/qt when it is properly marketed... but the market that will pay that price will often ask very specific question as to if and how much it has been heated, and won't buy at any price should they think you've destroyed the natural enzymes.
And some of them have some pretty "out there" opinions on the matter.

I have to agree with Astro....bee chunks are not appetizing so I run mine thru a strainer, put it in 1 lbs jars and sell it for $10. My label says "pure" not sure that is any less ambiguous but it looks good. 8)
Mike Forbes
Red Dirt Apiaries
There certainly is honey that can be labeled as "raw", however the definition of raw can vary between beekeepers who sell their honey as such. I sell mine as raw, I use a strainer small enough to get 95% of the wax particles and anything bigger than that out, then bottle it. John
Comb honey - everything else is processed
All the honey I bottle and sell is "raw"--totally unheated and it only goes through a stainless steel screen between the extractor and bottling tank to get the big chunks out. I always worry about the uneducated honey buyer who notices the cloudiness of liquid honey when it begins crystallizing and thinks somethings wrong. The other day, I had a customer look at a bottle of liquid honey and declare "that's not raw honey....it's not white and grainy." I had to reverse educate her

I am suprised you were able to reverse educate her most of the time when they get to the point when they say that can't be the beekeeper is stupid and only thier non beekeeping source is right.

A friend of mine got sick of this question because people here think 'raw' means crystallized. Now he keeps a few bottles of 'spoon honey' and they are pleased as can be.
The honey we sell as raw is never warmed over 115F, & its strained, not filtered.

I'm a business owner, a dreamer, a goofball, patriotic to the core and I love making people smile! I'm sarcastic and I have a huge heart, almost to a fault, but hey...

I'd take beer and bbq over fine wine and candlelight... Maybe that's because I'm a country girl at heart. I don't mind getting dirty, I welcome it actually.

Mainly because I'm not the best driver in clear conditions... Let alone icy ones! I'll take college football over the NFL any day of the week... And by college football, I'm talking about the only team that matters... OHIO STATE BUCKEYES!! My Great Grandfather was head football coach. It's in my blood! I have a love/hate relationship with flying, however,I do it often, because I have this incessant need to travel. I'd rather have drinks with friends on the patio rather than go to a bar...

Not just for the pros, the week-long celebration of surf and surf culture includes amateur and professional surfing and stand-up paddleboard events, beach movie nights, surfing memorabilia auctions, beach parties and free surf music. A family highlight this year will be the first dog surfing competition, where competitors ride stand-up paddleboards with their dogs perched on the front of the board. March 10-16. noosafestivalofsurfing.com.

Launceston, Burnie and Greater Hobart will go all the way with 10 full days of events while Huonville, Campbell Town, Swansea, Deloraine, St Helens, Queenstown, Devonport and Latrobe will each host three to four days of festivities.

Monday is the big day with celebrations around the lake including parades, several music stages and a world premiere of a new centenary symphony culminating in a fireworks finale. canberra100.com.au.

Day 6 is another one of the more relaxing day, lazing around in the hotel, and spend our time the whole day at Ximending. I think Ximending is a heaven for girls, and yes a heaven for devil like me too! Its really a trendy shopping place! Let's start with my itinerary alright?
- Breakfast @ Hotel and Laze around!
- Proceed straight to Ximending for Lunch. We went to Jin Yuan Pork Chop restaurant @ Ximending. The pork chops noodles are to-die-for.
- Its pretty easy to come here cos its situated opposite Modern Toilet Restaurant (remember from my last post?)
- Just follow the instruction (direction) as Toilet Modern Restaurant. When you see 7-eleven on your right, turn into the alley (the same alley where the Modern Toilet Restaurant entrance) right next to it and continue to walk straight. You will see Jin Yuan Pork Chop on your right not too far from 7-eleven. =)
- I actually ask the Jin Yuan Pork Chop guys on which store is the original store and he mention that there is no original Jin Yuan Pork Chop store per say as the original owner son actually sold the franchise to a number of people. And this store at Ximending actually was one of the first one to own the franchise. He mention they are the oldest store among the other franchise. So be your own judge. =)
The Menu
The *seasoning*
The Pork Chop Noodle!
Fried Internal Organ (hiak hiak)
- Anyway we walk around buying stuff and then my next stop?? To do my nails. Its seriously cheaper than anywhere I've ever heard off!!! I just check the other day at one of my usual manicure place, they charge RM180++ for just the basic crystal (sui jing) extension. And if you were to top up the nail art/beads/etc it will cost more! And mine????? All-in for NT$1499 (I've got 42 combination of small and big crystal stones on my nails) !
- Actually there's plenty of nail salons around. So do browse around to find your own choice of nail place. The one I went is known as Nail Party. =) The shop is next to this Red House Theatre in Ximending.
Choosing nail design!
Nail-in-process (check out the number of colour selections!)
Look carefully, the manicurist nail is so so much longer than the one I did.
End Product (Loving it, and I just removed it yesterday, sob sob)
- On the same week, Red House Theatre is having some creative design and you can get these artiste to draw pictures, etc and you can buy creative and interesting stuff there. We let the pictures do all the talking ya.
- After my nails and walking around, we went straight back to the hotel.. Why??? Cos my camera fail on me big time. I lost quite a number of pictures and I was so so so so super sad. Went back to the hotel to try to retrieve the pictures but to no avail…. After a while, I try changing my memory card and it finally works. But I have already wasted my day and also some nice, really nice pictures. So we end our day but felt relieve that the remaining (earlier) pictures all still work.
- Its a short post but at least I got my nails done, bought some pretty stuff and end our day.
- As usual some interesting pictures to end this post. Check out those marketing style in Ximending! And check out the last picture! It really gives Ximeding the status as Harajuku of Taiwan. =)
Love, blur-devil

Despite my protests, summer always leaves eventually. I live in the southern US, so I can pretend for a long time, but come January, I have to face it. It's just plain cold. There are only two ways to make that better: gingerbread lattes, which leave after Christmas, and funky tights, which are always your friend. Here are a few of my favorites.
TARDIS tights (and dress)
Black Milk Clothing is known for awesomely geeky threads. You've probably seen their R2-D2 bathing suit. In the past, their tights have included space invader and Tetris themes. Right now what you can pick up are these police box leggings that may remind you of a certain favorite Doctor. There's also a matching dress.
The more bold among you may be interested in their muscle tights or mechanical leggings, for the full steampunk look.
Mass Effect
It's not too hard to come by N7 t-shirts, hoodies, and even wallets, but there are no official leggings like the ones Etsy seller Peachykiki is making:

Thank goodness the freezer is not a window into someone's psyche. Many people's are so packed with food you can barely close the door, much less know what's in there. Once inside, you'll probably find half-eaten bags of freezer-burned tater tots, rock-solid ice cream covered in crystals, and plenty of other sad specimens. Let's not even mention the weirdos who keep their dead cats in the freezer because they haven't decided how best to say goodbye. Even if you haven't descended into freezer hoarderville, you could no doubt do with a little advice on keeping stuff orderly and tasting good in there. If you're curious about how to avoid freezer burn, what to freeze and not freeze, and how to freeze it, read on.
1. Keep your freezer cold—duh. If the temperature of your freezer is inconsistent, foods will thaw and refreeze, promoting freezer burn (which happens when ice crystals migrate to the surface and food gets dehydrated). A cold freezer will freeze food fast and strong. Make sure the door seals properly, and keep the temperature at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
2. Don't keep opening stuff up and resealing it. Exposing frozen food to air is another cause of freezer burn. Freeze things in serving-size portions.
1. Irma S. Rombauer, in Joy of Cooking, recommends keeping an inventory of what is in your freezer. That seems extreme. But seriously: You should know what is in there, and resist the urge to hoard. Try to think strategically about shorter-term meal plans. Rather than "I may need this some night," think more like "I will need this next week for dinner."
2. Freezer bags and heavy-duty freezer-safe containers are your friend. Make sure the bag or container edges stay dry to create a tight seal. Label with a Sharpie what's inside and the date you froze it. Push the air out of bags before sealing, or suck the excess air out with a straw.
3. Avoid jamming things into your freezer like half-eaten baking dishes of lasagne loosely wrapped in foil. This is how things start to get stinky and out of control. If the freezer does get stinky, purge, clean, and start over.
So what should be in there? What shouldn't?

Safe Disposal of Asbestos in New South Wales
Asbestos waste must be booked as a special waste, which can only be accepted at nominated licensed landfills in NSW. For more information contact EPA NSW.
If you would like to have a sample of material tested for asbestos, contact the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).
About Asbestos Wastes
- In the past, asbestos was used in around 3,000 products manufactured worldwide, most commonly in the construction, car manufacturing and textile industries.
- From the 1940s until the late 1980s, fibro was one of the most commonly used building products. This is a bonded product containing around 15% asbestos.
- Fibro was widely used as wall and ceiling sheeting in houses, workplaces and government buildings because of its strength and resistance to chemicals and heat.
- Only fibro products made before 1987 contain asbestos.

Nisswa students to name road
Nisswa Elementary School students will have a chance to name the street that goes by their school.
County Road 18 will be turned back to the city after road construction is compete this summer. That road will become Merrill Avenue if the council doesn't rename it.
The council opted to let Nisswa students name the street. The idea is for teachers to gather student entries and narrow the students' choices to three, which students will then vote on. The council must approve the final name.
Tim Bray, Crow Wing County highway engineer, on Wednesday, Feb. 20, touched on several topics with the council, including the federal requirement to install reflective street signs and the recommendation to replace two city bridges.
He said the highway department is sprucing up its website, and it's looking at online permitting software to streamline the permitting process.
Bray said the highway department is doing more in-house development, and the Nisswa roundabout that the county designed is one of only two in the state not designed by a consultant.
Regarding County Road 115 — Nashway and Ojibwe roads south of downtown Nisswa — Bray said the county will undertake a planning study to engage those residents to talk about improving the road.
"It's in tough shape," Bray said, noting the road is not eligible for state aid money and relies solely on county levy dollars. "And it's a large project."
County Road 115 runs through Nisswa and Lake Edward Township.
Bray also showed the county snowplow route priority via a map on the county website. High traffic volume areas are plowed first.
Regarding icy roads, like County Roads 13 and 77, Bray said trees are an enemy in the winter by providing shade. He said plow drivers are passionate about what they do.

Excerpt: "Despite posting my updated Senior and Junior rankings, I thought it would be worthwhile to combine the two and publish a top-40 Big Board. As I work through this group, it is becoming more and more evident that I really, really like this class. I have also noticed that my rankings tend to reflect how comfortable and confident I am with a prospect, as you can see from lesser valued positions being ranked highly.
The goal was to keep this simple, so rather than giving a full reports for each prospect, I offered descriptions on where and how they win. This is the most important part of the evaluation process, since it is much easier to list prospects deficiencies. Few players can do it all, so finding where prospects fit and where they win helps project their role in the NFL.
You will also notice the lack of quarterbacks. I will not be listing that position on big boards, since they are a breed of their own. It is just too hard to place them in this context. They will have their own list at a later date. Finally, you will also notice prospects with medical questions are still ranked highly. I cannot judge something I do not understand or know, rather I feel that listing what has been reported without judgment is the best approach.
1. G Chance Warmack, Alabama
Where he wins: Everywhere. Crushing blocker with an attitude to finish. Fluid mover for his size and gets in correct body position to seal off lanes. Technically sound player that could likely play either guard spot.
2. T Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
Where he wins: Technically sound player with good knee bend and athletic footwork to mirror or halt his oppositions momentum. Punch and arm extension helps absorb power and should be a quality left tackle for a long time.
3. DT Star Lotulelei, Utah
Where he wins: Pegged as a pure nose tackle, but that would be a disservice to his versatility. Can play along the front and shows agile feet for someone his size. Can be dominant for a stretch of plays and rarely took a seat on the bench at Utah.
4. T Eric Fisher, Central Michigan
Where he wins: Long left tackle that finds contact through his hands with quick extension. Flashes nastiness as a drive blocker or when finishing off blocks in pass protection. Still filling out frame, but doesn't have to.
5. DT Sharrif Floyd, Florida
Where he wins: Experience inside at defensive tackle or on the edge in multiple fronts. Strong at the point of attack to put his opposition on skates but displays enough foot quickness to win off the snap as well. Flashes violent hands to disengage.
6. DT Sheldon Richardson, Missouri
Where he wins: Great at splitting blocks, winning off the snap, or beating reach blocks. Very quick for his size and can really make his presence felt in the backfield as a three technique tackle or five technique end. Has been asked to drop back into short zones.
7. LB Arthur Brown, Kansas State
Where he wins: Instinctive, quick, and physical for his size. Believe he could play inside in any scheme but could thrive on the weakside. Doesnt shy away from contact but also has the speed to beat ball carriers to the edge or stick with his assignment in coverage.
8. LB Dion Jordan, Oregon
Where he wins: A personal favorite. Extremely fluid and agile from his linebacker spot. Could see him thriving as a strong side linebacker who moves into a pass rushing role when called upon. Strong hands and flashes persistence around the corner.
9. DE Ezekiel Ansah, BYU
Where he wins: After generating separation or finding himself in space, his closing speed is the best in this draft. Plenty of motor to chase. Already a solid run defender and saw snaps at rush linebacker, end in a three man or four man, and inside at tackle. Strong on first contact.
10. T Lane Johnson, Oklahoma
Where he wins: Athleticism to mirror is excellent. Despite lean frame, can handle physical play on first contact and resets well with footwork. Lands multiple punches if he cant gain the inside latch." Read more...

Return Visit to Hawaii Island
With so much beauty to discover, so many historic sites to explore and so many adventures to experience, a return visit to Hawaii Island is inevitable. Now that you've had a taste of what Hawaii Island has to offer, explore the island at a more leisurely pace or see regions you weren't able to see before.
The first place to start is not on land, but in the water. Whether it's diving with manta rays, going on a whale watching tour, taking a sunset cruise or going on a snorkelling expedition, you'll find some of Hawaii Island's biggest surprises out at sea. And while you may have already seen lava meet the sea at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, don't forget to look towards the heavens atop Maunakea for unparalleled stargazing.
Explore the small towns of Hawaii Island and you're bound to discover treasures in the art and coffee village of Holualoa, Honokaa Town on the Hamakua Coast, and peaceful Hawi in North Kohala. The Pololu Valley Overlook just beyond Hawi and the Waipio Valley Overlook just past Honokaa are worth the trip alone.
And while having extra time to indulge in Hawaii Regional Cuisine, golf and wellness and rejuvenation treatments in Hawaii Island's best resorts is welcome, a continued exploration of the history and culture of Hawaii can be even more rewarding. Go on a hike and discover amazing petroglyphs on the Kohala Coast. See a hula competition or celebrate with locals at a cultural event or festival. Or tour the amazing art galleries and museums of Hawaii Island to get an even deeper insight into Hawaii's heritage. On an island this size, there won't be time to do it all. But with an active volcano still changing the landscape, all this and more will be waiting for you on your next trip back to Hawaii Island.

Chart Compares Top Accredited Certification Options
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27, 2014 – Group fitness attracts more than 22.1 million people annually to indoor cycling, boot camps, danced-based classes and a growing number of other modalities. That increasing demand has led many certification organizations to create narrowly focused education programs designed to get instructors on the floor fast.
A new research tool created by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) sorts a wide variety of information about each group fitness certification now on the market into an easy-to-read format for aspiring health and fitness professionals to explore.
"Choosing the right group exercise certification is now easier for people considering a career in that space," said ACE CEO and President Scott Goudeseune. "Aspiring professionals can get a snapshot view of certification options that hold accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Association (NCCA) and those that don't. They can also pit their top choices side by side using our interactive comparison tool."
The Group Fitness Certification Comparison features company and exam information, details about study tools, professional benefits and continuing education information for the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), American Fitness Professionals and Associates (AFPA), the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA), and ACE.
The chart also includes insight on commonly asked questions with regard to how the industry's top two group fitness certifications – the ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification and the AFAA Primary Group Exercise Certification – stack up.
