text: In the 4th Q they turned on the sideline mic and you could hear someone yell, Will move...cut to the basket. You could see the other guys calling him out too. Then he made his move and it was lame. Like he didn't want to cut to the basket but made a curved line to the lane and out again. I think with a full offseason with Frank, they'll be able to execute a ton better.

However, our O-line looked good in the playoffs, despite being thrown together from leftover pieces. We all assumed that why they didnt draft OL in the first round.
And if youre going to use one bust out of however many picks we've had since Sintim was drafted, I know youve lost your ****....
The main reason the Sintim pick stings, is because it was essentially one of the picks from the shockey trade, and despite the fact that those picks ending up as busts, shockey was also a bust from then on......and **** Shockey...who cares.

It's too bad, I'm too good....
TC did the right thing here, he gave the rookie head coach some gruff for him doing something unusual....that's all there is too it, and Dez is right, had Eli or one of our O-Line been injured there you would most definitely not get on TC or our team....you would be absolutely livid with Schiano.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

Bend man arrested after chase, crash, run
Refused to pull over; faces DUII, drug charges
BEND, Ore. - Oregon State Police, aided by Deschutes County sheriff's deputies and Bend police, arrested a 33-year old Bend man early Monday morning after he tried to elude officers by car, then crashed and tried to run on the south end of town, troopers said.
Around 1:20 a.m., an OSP trooper tried to pull over a 2006 Volkswagen GTI on Highway 97 near Pinebrook Boulevard for an unspecified traffic violation, troopers said.
The driver failed to yield, heading west on Pinebrook Boulevard and south on Brookswood Boulevard at a high rate of speed, said OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings.
The car soon left the road and struck a tree, prompting the driver to get out and run. He only got a short distance before he was caught by officers on the northwest corner of Brookswood Boulevard and Larkwood Drive.
The man, identified as Nicholas Steven Klampe, was checked by paramedics and not taken to the hospital. Officers searched the area where Klampe ran from the car and found a small amount of methamphetamine they believe he'd tossed to the ground.
Klampe was booked into the Deschutes County Jail on a felony charge of attempting to elude in a vehicle, a misdemeanor charge of attempting to elude on foot, DUII (alcohol) and meth possession.
A jail officer said he was released to a responsible third party shortly after 5 a.m.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by juck, Sep 25, 2012.
Is this Lebron?
Absolutely. I am a Yankee fan but that doesn't mean that the response is not accurate.
Hard to prove if its accurate or not.
There may be some validity to it, but its hard to believe that that really is the case.
The only way we really see true competition in MLB is to have a hard salary cap. Have a truly level playing field when it comes to salaries.
That is not a solution. You can have the cap set at anything you want but unless you mandate salary expenditures, you can't guarantee anything. Besides, the players don't really want that. If you cap salaries, they don't get paid as much.
its soo weak isnt it?
If you say so.
Whats amazing is the other major sports can do it, but somehow its far too complicated for MLB to implement.
Could they regulate scouting, minor league $$$, international $$$, and other areas? Only if they wanted to actually do it.
Well, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . not to the front runners!
I don't know that anybody believes it's too complicated. I think that neither side, players or owners, want it. Players want to continue to have the bigger salaries this arrangement provides and the owners, for the most part, do not want to open their books. The Yankees are one of the few teams who have said they would be willing to open their books. Their books are so scrutinized that they are pretty much open anyway.
We are all Cowboy Fans. Does that mean that we are all front runners?
Don't worry they won't dare to call you a front runner since you're a respected mod here, but since I'm "young and stupid" (According to them) they'll have no problem calling me one. For the record even though I'm a Yankees fan and root for them obviously I'm not nearly as big of a Yankees fan as I'm a Cowboys or Lakers fan. I just don't find baseball very entertaining while I absolutely love basketball and football. I haven't watched many Yankees games this season. I usually only watch the playoffs.
I'm gonna be honest I really didn't start loving football until around age 12 which is when I started playing football. That was actually the year that Tony took over as the starting quarterback. Back then the Lakers were without question my favorite sports team with the Cowboys and Yankees a distant second, but after I started playing football I fell more in love with the game each year that passed by. Now my love for the Lakers and Cowboys is about even. I never thought that'd happen, but it did. Being a Lakers fan I've been very fortunate to whiteness a lot of great basketball and now with this new superstar roster it looks like that'll continue.
Unfornately that hasn't been the case as a Cowboys fan. I've never witnessed a Super Bowl. What I've witnessed is some of the most gut wrenching, heart breaking losses in team history. The bobbled snap in 2006, losing to the Giants as the #1 seed when we really should've won the Super Bowl, the next year losing 44-6 to the hated Eagles in the season finale, and then getting destroyed by Grandpa Favre. These last two seasons we didn't make the playoffs because we've just flat out gave several games away. Hopefully this year we win a Super Bowl because I want it BAD. :starspin
Well, you are young enough that I suspect you will see more Super Bowl runs from the Cowboys. We won't always be also rans.
Just a Cowboys fan, w/o the other teams - most would probably not consider that as a front runner.
I like all of those teams as well. I guess you can call me a front runner too.
Rooting for americas fav 3 teams is being a front runner.In my generation the fronters rooted for the Bulls,Cowboys and Yankees.Its unfortunate that many Cowboy fans like them only cause they have the Americas Team label.Being born in DFW but growing up mostly in Pittsburgh was tough. Heck i was such a Rangers fan I picked them to play on in lil league.Cowboys are hated here.This a football first then hockey second town. I hate hockey.
Ok, fair enough.
Please, go out of your way to do so during the playoffs, every year.
Yeah, because being in a huge market has absolutely zero bearing on how much teams can spend
If it bothers you, just start watching those teams.
This is silly what you guys do to this kid on a daily basis but I'll tell you what, it's you time to waste.
It's aight I can take it.
My brothers give me crap for it all time, but it don't phase me at all.
I'm gonna root for my teams and I'm never gonna let anyone make me do different.

text: Okay hello all, im planning on buying a Tahoe LT. It has to be an LT or better, i cannot do LS. Allow me to explain, i want something with leather, i cant do cloth :-(, and also, i do not like bench seats for the 2nd row. Yes i am buying preowned, 07, 08, 09. But here are my dilemmas, and has been causing me to over look some trucks, then a bright idea came up to ask someone. (besides a salesman) My dilemmas are as i said above, i hate bench seats in 2nd row, So question, are those able to be replaceable by a noob? Or does it require professional services only? Next, on some LT they have this cup holder in between armrest and dash, why is it black? Are they able to be replaced by the ones in the LTZ which look at lot luxurious? And can a n00b do it. Those are the 2 main things pushing me away from alot of LT and pushing me towards LTZ. If i buy an LT, can i create that look? BTW: i call myself a n00b because im a n00b to chevy, but im a pro at infiniti.!.. But im trynna get in the Chevy Tahoe family!

By just about any measure, Simon Rich, 28, has had an enviable career. Son of famed New York Times columnist and theater critic Frank Rich, stepson of author Alex Witchel, younger brother of novelist Nathaniel Rich, he attended New York's prestigious Dalton School, then went on to Harvard, where he edited the famed Harvard Lampoon and signed a two-book deal with Random House while still a junior. When he was 22, his first collection of short stories was nominated for the (James) Thurber Prize for American Humor. He was the youngest writer ever to be hired to work on "Saturday Night Live," and his first novel, "Elliot Allagash," was optioned by Jason Schwartzman. For the past year, Rich has been working yet another dream job: writing for Pixar studios, in Emeryville, Calif.
In person, Rich is actually as charming as his life appears charmed — he is a pale, nerdy young man with wide eyes and a slight overbite that makes him look like a character from his beloved cartoon show "The Simpsons." He's also the first person to admit that God doesn't play fair; in fact, that is the theme of his second novel, "What in God's Name," a brief, witty romp about two angels trying desperately to convince their boss not to destroy the human race.
I met with Rich in the sunlit Grato Café and Bistro, just a block from the Pixar campus. He ordered a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, but first asked whether The Forward's readers would mind.
Sheerly Avni: In "What in God's Name," you imagine heaven as a sprawling corporation, and God as a capricious CEO who plans to shut down the humanity division to focus on starting an Asian-fusion restaurant chain. What inspired this decidedly "un-Jewish" vision of the afterlife?
Rich: Oh, I think it's totally Jewish! In fact it dates back to when I was studying for my bar mitzvah. At the time, I was also reading a lot of "Dilbert" comics, and the two got kind of fused in my brain. I started picturing God as the pointy-haired boss from "Dilbert," someone irrational, needy, shortsighted and vain and impossibly powerful all at once.
You're not religious, though.
We were Reform Jews, but I really enjoyed studying the Torah. I became obsessed with it. You know, for all those years you memorize these gibberish chants, you say them, and then one day, in seventh grade, they actually hand you a book and you actually read it, and it's completely insane, and it's full of violence and incest and 99-year-olds cutting off parts of their penises.
But of course by the time you read the Torah, you were already steeped in comedy.
I was definitely reading the Torah through a comedic mindset, especially through "The Simpsons" and Looney Tunes. So I already had a taste for these kinds of characters. Just think of Elmer Fudd: this incompetent, possibly mentally challenged person, with a host of physical and mental disabilities, walking around with a loaded gun, pointing it around and firing it. Or Homer Simpson, the last person in the world who should be in charge of safety at a nuclear power plant.
Through that lens, it would be easy to see the Old Testament stories as yet another terrifying cartoon.
And in the Old Testament, mankind is wiped out or comes close to getting wiped out a number of times. When you read the Torah — especially when you're 12 — it definitely leaves you with a sense of fear. I think in almost all my writing, I'm telling the same story over and over again. I do see it as a Jewish story: We're small, God is big.
Speaking of big and small, your father was one of the most feared critics in America. He was called the Butcher of Broadway. Is it a challenge to be an artist when the big authority figure in your life is a critic?
Yes, but there's a bright side: He'll never be able to review one of my books, because of conflict of interest.
Ah, but our fathers are always reviewing us. Were you trying to impress him?
I think I was trying to impress everyone. My father, my brother, definitely my brother. But also, I was trying to just be as good as my favorite writers. I started ripping off Roald Dahl when I was 6.
Who were some of the writers who influenced you?
Neil Simon plays, Mad magazine, Dave Barry, David Sedaris. Philip Roth and Douglas Adams and Terry Southern. Joseph Heller and things like that, but by far the biggest influence was Roald Dahl, the first writer I fell in love with. I studied a lot of Dickens in college, too. I think that Dickens is very funny at times, and I'm sure that if I had been born in the 19th century, I'd have been an obsessive Dickens fan.
Definitions of humor change over time. Today we'd say much of Shakespeare's humor is too broad.
Oh, Shakespeare is the least funny writer in history. Terrible, terrible, terrible. It's all the cheapest, dumbest sex puns imaginable, and even his comedic plots are rip-offs of Greco-Roman plays.
So he's not "The Simpsons"?
He doesn't even rival "Three's Company"! If you tried to pull the comedy moves that he uses now, there's no way that you would get a single laugh. Nothing made me angrier growing up than seeing a Shakespeare play and hearing people laugh at the jokes.
Do you think that television simply provides a better mechanism for humor than other media?
I don't think any medium is intrinsically funnier than any other medium. I just happen to think that the greatest comedy in Western History came from "The Simpsons."
Well, that show is 23 years old now, so you were watching it basically your whole life. Is that your biggest influence as a writer?
Enormously. It's probably an even bigger influence on me than my Judaism.
Would you ever want to write for the show?
I always thought that would be my ultimate goal, but now I'm not sure. I mean, it's an impossible question, because I've never been asked, but I hold the show in such reverence that I think I would be too embarrassed. It would be too daunting and terrifying. Like being asked to collaborate with Shakespeare — I mean, if you were a Shakespeare fan.

if you want to put your money where your values are...
Choose a community development bank or credit union
Did you know that your checking account can generate capital for affordable housing projects? Did you know that your CDs can create funds for job development in low-income communities?
Community development banks and credit unions operate very much like their traditional counterparts, but these institutions focus on funding economic development in low- and moderate-income areas.
You can open a checking account, savings account, money market account, or CD in one of these banks or credit unions; accounts are federally insured up to $100,000. See our Community Investing Resource Center to find a bank or credit union near you, or find community investing financial institutions in the National Green Pages™.

Look for responsible credit cards
We're happy to tell you that a few responsible banks and credit unions are offering credit cards that can be a force for change. Check out our recent issue of Real Green that walks you through the options so you'll know which credit cards to avoid and which will work best for you and for the planet.
Check out socially responsible investing
Integrating your personal, social, and environmental concerns with your financial considerations is called socially responsible investing (SRI). SRI helps you meet your financial goals while ensuring that your investments have a positive impact on people and the planet. Whether you're just getting started with a simple savings account or you have a highly diversified portfolio of investments, you can be a social investor.
Some of the most popular social investing vehicles are socially screened mutual funds. Screening describes the inclusion or exclusion of corporate securities in investment portfolios based on social or environmental criteria. Socially concerned investors generally seek to own profitable companies with respectable employee relations, strong records of community involvement, excellent environmental impact policies and practices, respect for human rights around the world, and safe and useful products. They also will try to avoid investments in those firms that fall short in these areas. Some examples of issues used by SRI funds in screens include: alcohol, tobacco, defense weapons, animal testing, environment, human rights, labor relations, employment/equality, community investing, and proxy voting.
Socially screened mutual funds are often industry leaders on issues of disclosure and proxy voting.
Green America is one of the leading sources of information about socially responsible purchasing and investing.

This is one of the few aggressive sexual manuevers available to women. It occurs when the woman is riding the man like a bike. After she orgasms but before the man does, she gets off and attempts to break his boner in half, much like a bike thief attempting to break a lock. This causes the man a great deal of pain, as boners are not meant to be broken.
I got mine and this mother fucker slapped my ass too hard so I gave him the bike thief and broke his boner in half.

IF they choose to spend their money on this, it is their business. I do not think it is necessary to display it when so many people are struggling to make ends meet. It is offensive and frivilous to many adults and immature patrons are unfortunatly impressed with this and somehow they think it is a symbol for being successful when it is just commercial symbolism. Take it down.

Local ASA teams eyeing titles at state tournament
MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula is the place to be this weekend for softball fans as over 80 teams are in town for the ASA state softball tournament. Three of the five age groups started play Friday with the older 16U and 18U brackets getting play underway Saturday morning.
This year's 18U Missoula Avalanche is one of the most talented ASA softball teams to come out of Montana. Four members of the roster have already committed to college softball programs and this summer the team has qualified for nationals at two separate tournaments.
"This is definitely one of the top teams I've played for," said Hellgate Knights graduate Katie Waletzko, who will try to walk-on with the Griz softball team this fall. "You work for your spot. There's no goofing around; If you want to play you better work hard."
There's no question the Avalanche will be the team to beat in their 18U bracket at the state tournament, being held this weekend in Missoula.
"A lot of girls on our team have never won state in high school or anything," said two time state A champion and Gatorade Player of the Year Morgan Ray of Frenchtown. "We're really excited because they want to win state just before they go to college and they're really excited so we're just going to play our hardest and hopefully we can get a state championship."
Meanwhile in the 16U bracket this weekend, another Missoula area team comes in as a major contender for the title. The Bitterroot Sparks have had a great travel season. They placed sixth out of 64 teams in Oregon earlier this summer and won their tournament in Couer D'Alene. But despite their regional success, winning a state championship is all that's on their minds this week.
"It's definitely high stakes," explained Ali Williams who will be a junior at Kalispell Glacier in the fall. "Everybody wants to win and it's just so much fun getting to play in that tournament."
"We took second last year and we should have won," said Missoula Big Sky junior Morgan Johnson of her Sparks team last summer. "We're coming back this year and we're taking it... we want it."
Adding fuel to the Sparks is the fact that five members of this squad were sophomore this past spring on Missoula Big Sky. Those athletes are trying to wash the taste out of their mouths from the spring season when they came so close to winning a high school state title, only to have Billings West take it away on a bizarre walk-off strikeout finish.
"We want it so bad," said Big Sky junior Kendall Mooney. "The game at high school state wasn't us, it was just a crazy ending."
"Well we know what that felt like and we don't want to go back," explained Johnson. "We were there and we were one out away, we should have just... oh well, we'll come back this year and get it."
Both the Sparks and Avalanche say getting to play state in Missoula this weekend is a huge relief after traveling all over the Western United states for their other tournaments.
"Well it's nice because it's so close," said Williams. "Missoula isn't anything compared to what we've been traveling so it's definitely nice to have it here."
"It will be good to come back home and have our own fans here to be able to watch us," said Ray. "It will be cool to have a big tournament here."
The 10U, 12U and 14U brackets all started up tournament play on Friday in Missoula. The 16U and 18U brackets will begin play early Saturday morning, with the state title games scheduled for 4:00 Sunday afternoon.

Definition: Sulfuric acid is used in the production of fertilizers and explosives, in the purification of petroleum; in the pickling of metal; and in lead-acid batteries. Breathing sulfuric acid can result in tooth erosion and respiratory tract irritation. Exposures to large quantities at work can increase the incidence of cancers of the larynx, though such workers are often exposed to other chemicals, too. The International Agency for Research on Cancer says occupatonal exposure to inorganic acid mists can cause cancer, but pure sulfuric acid has not been classified. Source: IARC
Definition: Manganese is used to produce pesticides, batteries and other industrial products. Although trace elements are found in food and are considered essential for good health, overexposure for long periods can cause mental and emotional disturbances and slow and clumsy body movements -- a disease of the brain called manganism. Children are more vulnerable to such exposures than adults. EPA says that it cannot be determined if there is a link between manganese and cancer.
Definition: Hydrochloric acid, known to man for centuries, has many uses: in the production of fertilizers, dyes,and some foodstuffs, and in the steel, oil, textile and rubber industries. It is corrosive to the eyes, skin and mucuous membranes, and in high concentrations, can cause severe burns. EPA has not determined whether it is carcinogenic. Source: EPA
Definition: Nickel, a metal, can be combined with other metals to make coins, jewelry, and stainless steel.

text: OK people. I live in Florida and I'm thinking of taking a job in Anchorage Alaska. I will get a sign on bonus which is mainly meant for cost of shipping all my property and vehicles up there. I have done a large amount of research and everyone says to take a week or two and drive. They say it is a once in a life time experience. It will cost $5,000 to ship my truck to Anchorage, so why not spend that amount and have a blast getting there instead. To this day I can remember as a kid my family traveling 3 months from east coast to west coast and what a blast. I currently have a 2001 1500HD RWD with 4:10 rear end. We all know the great gas millage I get. The trip if driving straight with out sight seeing detours is 4773 Miles. There are some portions of the trip in the Yukon that will not have adequate fuel stops. Here lies my problem. Fuel capacity…. Also, I will also be towing a 6 x 12 dual axel trailer loaded with everything I can toss in it and my bed with topper will also be stuffed. I want to one of the following: 1. Larger bolt up fuel tank (If possible) 2. Secondary tank system with switch and selector (If possible) 3. In the bed transfer tank So far this is all I could find and I really leaning toward this 109 Gallon set-up. http://www.transferflow.com/refueling_tanks.html I wanted to keep the bed looking stock, but I have not been able to find any sites or info on making my truck a dual tank monster. But if I do get the 109 Gallon bed tank at least I can remove it and store it for future trips when needed. I'm also going to buy a front bumperguard/winch set-up going HD due to moose accidents and would rather save front end as much as possible. And wanting to replace my side mirrors with heated mirrors for the winters. http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.aspx?category%7ccategory_root%7c-25=Exterior&category%7ccat_-25%7c147=Bumpers&canned_results_trigger=&partid=494664 http://autopartscorp.com/product.php?productid=113874 INFO INFO INFO...

good to see you guys are still going on smoothly. ^.^
I didn't know you were going into the states, but I guess that makes sense, rather than going back up that small strip of land back into Quebec. ^^;;
Also, looking at the pictures in the last post,
I'm surprised you guys dont have those in Ottawa. they're all over the place in Toronto, and to a smaller extent in Brampton.
Anyhow, hope to read more from you guys soon. ^.^

Digby and Brier Island
Loading Map
We are camped in Whale Cove, in the Digby neck area which spans about 48 kms. It�s pretty much out in the middle of nowhere, which explains the silence. We are slowly making our way to Long Island and Brier Island which are a couple of short ferry rides from here.
Prior to getting here, we made a stop at Bear River, also known as the Village on Stilts. A small town with a lot of artistic flair
At Long Island, we went on another whale expedition, hoping to have a better experience than the last. We were not disappointed. The company was more professional and we didnt feel like we were whale chasing.
Saw about half a dozen humpback whales. The only words that came out of us when we saw them was �wow�. They were quite magnificent and so very graceful. Our guide mentioned that some of the whales return every year and they are identified by the marks on their tails. Most of the pictures we have are of Foggy, aptly named because he is usually seen in the waters on foggy days.
Returning from Brier Island the following day, we had a bit of an incident with the van. Just as we were about to get on the ferry, the battery died. Good thing it was a small ferry so we were not holding people up. Rajiv got the van going about 10 minutes later but we decided not to chance boarding just in case it died again. So we drove around the island. It�s not a very big island at all so we just kept driving the same loop
We found out the island does not have a mechanic so not a great place to have van problems. It was a stressful day because we weren�t sure if the van was going to make it across - we had two small ferries to cross and then the large ferry from Digby to St.John New Brunswick.
But after that minor incident, the van worked like a charm. We are, however, a little paranoid now. It�s difficult to get the van looked at on short notice, but back in Digby the very helpful information centre staff got us in touch with a local mechanic who was able to check the alternator and battery output.
After an overnight stay in St. John, NB, we are slowly making our way to the U.S., with a brieft stop in St. Stephen (home of Gagnon chocolates).
Books we have just read:
Bobbie - Blindness by Jose Saramago, a portrayal of man�s weakness and ultimately exhilirating spirit.
Rajiv - Chasing the Shore by David Weale, a PEI writer. A thought provoking collection of essays based on the author�s life experiences.

I feel really bad for whichever teams need to pick a QB in this draft. If I was a GM I would not want to risk my career on any of these guys. To be honest I think I would rather take David Fales in the 2nd or 3rd than any of these guys in the 1st.
Man, Vegas flat out cleaned up yesterday(as usual).. How many times are teams gonna take double digit leads in college football and blow them to teams that seemingly can't move the ball at all? I mean Oregon sts defense looked great, and then su-cked 2nd half, and TCU's defnese was insane and somehow they lost to Michgan St? WTH? Thats crazy..
Hence, why a guy whos missed parts of the past 2yrs is almost a sure fire lock for 1st rd, and at LB, where hes only played for a couple seasons.. Kinda gives u a idea of what hes been accomplishing there..
Its a stupid way to draft, and exactly how u lose ur job.. U gotta take good players, and eventually as u pile up the good players, u run into a situation that allows u to get a legit prospect at QB or DE or whatever...
Interesting qoutes from NFL scouts on a few guys we've discussed:
-"Eifert is probably the top kid but he's not an all-around guy," one scout said. "I don't know how much he really likes football. I think he does it because it's something he's good at. He'd be more happy being a wide receiver."
"His (expletive) is bigger than a coffee table," one scout said, referring to Fluker. "Huge legs, long arm. He can really drive people off the ball using his massive size. He is getting better in pass pro. And he's got some nastiness to him."
-"Thomas has the athletic ability to be a left tackle and is a footwork kind of guy. He might have to be a guard. Aboushi has a bad body on him but he's real effective. Pretty good technician. Kind of a nasty kid."
-"Great athlete," one scout said. "Can make all the blocks. You watch him move, especially for a zone team, he'll be right up their alley. Problem is the guy played at 280."
-"As a freshman and sophomore, you saw a lot of signs of dominance," one scout said. "I don't see how he gets out of the first round because he's just so big."
- "is an undersized move guy. Just kind of a finesse athlete. Big-time character questions."
-"You can knock him on this and that but he's just a good player," one scout said. "No major deficiencies. He's like (Luke) Kuechly from last year. Maybe not what you want to do (with a top-10 pick) but you're getting a good football player."
- "Ogletree is like (Kansas City's) Derrick Johnson," one scout said. "It's just his (four-game drug) suspension and everything. You've got to worry about that. He will slip and slide around in there and make a bunch of plays. He's so athletic and so big and can really run."
Another scout compared Ogletree to Odell Thurman, another former Georgia MLB whose promising career in Cincinnati was cut short by drug abuse in the mid-2000s.
The scout said Ogletree was the best player on the Bulldogs' defense despite the presence of OLB Jarvis Jones
-"He did not have the production you'd like to see from a really outstanding athlete," one scout said. "But he's also playing on a pretty good team, and they rotated a lot. He will blow the combine out."
-"Banks is a really good football player," one scout said. "Not a thick guy by any means, but real long arms. Even for a long, lanky guy he has pretty good quickness. His top-end speed isn't great. Loves football and isn't afraid to hit."
-"He's a nickel back and returner," one scout said. "It's just like Janoris Jenkins, but Janoris is much, much more talented. This guy just got arrested again. I don't know how you select him."
"This is maybe the best safety draft in a long, long time," one scout said. "This is a draft where everybody can get healthy at the position. You may not have the Sean Taylor elite-type player, but you have a lot of really good players."
-"Matt is kind of short but he's a hitter and he can cover," one scout said. "If he goes in the first it will be late."
- "He's different than most University of Texas guys - he's tough and physical," one scout said. "Maybe the lack of 40 time keeps him out of the first."
-Georgia's Bacarri Rambo (6-0½, 206) has major character flaws. "But he's the new breed of safety that you need," one scout said. "Real athletic. Ball skills. Covers. Real up and down with his tackling and his physicalness."

Any thoughts on what is good for the swelling after a bee sting? Was stung yesterday on the fleshy part between thumb and first finger. Whole hand is swollen and up to my elbow. Never had this happen before. Thanks
Any thoughts on what is good for the swelling after a bee sting? Was stung yesterday on the fleshy part between thumb and first finger. Whole hand is swollen and up to my elbow. Never had this happen before. Thanks
Thats a really bad reaction. Any other reactions? Vison? Hearing? Pulse?
Take benadril?
You could be getting allergic
An apitherapist told me that that is "great swelling" (a local reaction that when it stays local is not an allergic reaction)............aka the popeye arm. The venom will need to work out of the area and heat can help with that. Make a cloth rice bag (uncooked rice). Heat it up in the microwave just a little bit and apply. As long as symptoms stay local, you do not have to worry.
Swelling seems to be worse usually in areas that are not as fleshy where it absorbs some of that "look". A finger or forehead will show more obvious swelling as opposed to a thigh as there is not much area for the swelling to go. Circulation increases in areas that were stung bringing more blood, oxygen and the chemicals the body releases naturally to deal with it. There is more fluid in the stung area, therefor swelling.
As a person gets stung more over time, they usually develop a sort of immunity to the venom meaning less swelling and less itching. The more time between stings, the more likely a person reverts back to swelling and itching.
One more thing about apitherapy........when a person starts it, it may take a week or two for them to show what is called "great swelling". Apitherapists like to see great swelling sited locally as it is a sign that bee venom therapy will have a good result for that person.
Last edited by Bee Bliss; 05-20-2013 at 04:13 PM. Reason: Added a few words to first sentence to clarify
I used to, as until this year, have pain for a couple days with big swelling followed by days of itching. Took my first sting of this year last week and had pain for a couple days, big swelling but no itching at all. So, and understanding it is only one person's example, I would say you have no allergic reaction issues, just a sensativity to it that will probably lessen over time.
I took Benadryl last year after getting a few stings. Put me to sleep but did nothing for the symptoms. I am just letting nature fix me now. By the way, managed to get hit 30 times one evening last year and had nothing but topical effects.
remember to take you're rings off before working the bees.
I'd suggest, unless allergic or something, you take some Zyrtec and Zantac. Both are antihistamines that work on different receptors. It may help with the inflammation and such.
The first sting of the new season is the worse. After that your body (usually) can handle it. I got stung on my wrist and had a similar reaction, hurt for several days. Then Saturday evening I got stung on my earlobe (it looked like I had a Big grape stuck to my head) but very little pain on Sunday, and today I hardly feel it.

Reactions to stings can decrease with exposure, but they can also increase in severiity. That said a sting at any time can be life threatening regardless of previous experien es. Facial stings in neck area can cause the most dangerous issues with airway obstruction from swelling. Always be aware and don't take chances
I'm new this year and getting the opportunity to try various things on stings. The effects seem to be lessening with each sting. I tried baking soda for a while and then ice (for about 20 minutes) on one right below my eye, and it did swell some but never did itch. My most recent one on the back of my neck started itching after a day. I read about heat, so in the shower I turned it up as hot as I could stand it and let it hit the back of my neck for a few minutes. It took the itch away and that never came back. The swelling did persist for a couple more days. So I'm thinking heat is good after the fact also.
I tend to swell worse when stung on the hands/wrists or ankles. Upper arms or legs don't seem t swell much at all. Got nailed on the ear the other day, and didn't notice anything other than some itching for a day or so.
I got stung last night for the 6th time this year. My hand is swollen completely to the middle of my forearm. I can deal with the swelling, but the itching is driving me nuts. It has made typing an issue today because my fingers are swollen, too. I already had a scheduled appointment with my allergist this afternoon, so I will let him look at it.
When I was tested, I was not shown to be allergic to bee stings, just wasps and hornets. I have taken the shots for those and now do maintenance shots once per month. They have done the trick because I have been stung by wasps twice and had no bad reactions.
I always take 50mg of benadryl when stung and use a benadryl cream on the area. It greatly reduces the swelling and itching, but my reaction is greater than average.

Just so people know, sometimes the medications (including alcohol, prescriptions and over the counter) in your system prior to a sting can effect what happens when you get stung. Medications, etc. can also impair the effectiveness of Benedryll and/or Epi.
Bad reactions are not always due to allergy. Apitherapists say great swelling (local) is a sign of a healthy immune system.
Anyone who does suspect allergy, should probably be tested so they know for sure. Then they have decisions to make.
Strangely I have only had the true allergic reaction to one colony of feral bees, has anyone else noted a dramatic difference in reaction to different strains of bees?
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
my wife and i are weirdos and we enjoy a sting here and there. makes ya feel alive
I WAS referring to local reaction in the part you just quoted and not systemic reaction. You quoted me and then talked about the opposite thing like you were debating what I said. Maybe I misunderstood. I have also stated many times in the past what the difference in local and systemic is. I just want people to not freak out when/if they get a Popeye arm and think that that means they are allergic and on their way to A-shock. People often say they have a bad reaction and then they go on to describe how they have Popeye's arm, and the comment is made that they have an allergy, etc. etc. causing them unnecessary fear. As long as it stays local (even if it is great swelling), shouldn't be a problem is all I am saying (unless breathing is obstructed by local swelling, of course).
All bees are insects, not all insects are bees........
For me it depends on how fast I manage to scratch the stinger out of my skin. Sometimes I'll accidentally squeeze a bee and those are usually the worst. If it gets to swelling I'll put some ice on it for a bit.
alot of the bad reaction to some bee stings are from what the bees were foraging in. which definitely reverts back to pesticides. i think all people are allergic at some level to bee stings. its poison. my wife and i have had some stings that burn soo bad we;ve cried. and then followed by large swelling and circles around the sting area. i mean they look horrible hahaha. but sometimes the sting happens,you pull out the stinger and nada. i really think it depends on where the bees have been. BUT and i say this seriously.... if you get a sting that is really bothering you get to the hospy. dont take any chances. but generally stings are all different. i removed a new swarm of bees that again swarmed in our bee yard. when we shook them out of the tree in the bees yard i got 3 dive bombers on my hand instatly. they didnt even hurt other than the initial POW from the sting. left this stingers in and dumped them into a different box...removed stingers and they didnt even swell or itch. BUT... when i removed them origianlly from the home they were at i got 2 stings that burned and swelled really bad. same bees. different day... different vegetation and area.
Hand swelling seems to be fairly common. Try lots of water and cold compress.

Tough, mostly because of poverty and surviving (or not) public schools. Something to be said of poor, urban Canadian youth and essentially no one else. Marked by resourcefulness, pragmaticism, and coldness. As a result of being shit on one too many times. A desirable trait. Can also be the result of an awful family life/childhood. See also hardcore

This is the area that is east of the divide, but this does not include Southwest Montana. Helena, the capital is in this region but the people are a hybrid between Southwest, Eastern, and Western Montana. People in Eastern. The futher east you go, the more like North Dakota it becomes, both in terms of terrain and people there being reminiscent of many Midwesterners. This area also include the Hi-Line, which forms most of the state's border with Canada.
Eastern Montana has a very small population.

Leave it to Ted Leo to find his way from "There was a resolution pending on the United Nations floor" (which is how he begins "Bottled in Cork," a highlight from the East Coast punk bard's new release) to "Tell the bartender I think I'm falling in love" (which is how he ends the song three minutes later). Leo has made a mission of blending the personal and the political since his days fronting the great late-'90s mod-pop outfit Chisel, and he continues to do so with undimmed urgency here, on his debut for Matador following stints with Lookout! and Touch and Go.
"The Mighty Sparrow" opens with the unsettling image of café doors exploding; "One Polaroid a Day" wonders what's up with those people who seem more concerned with documenting a moment than living it. Throughout, Leo and his stalwart Pharmacists (who include James Canty of the Make-Up on guitar and keyboards) reflect the singer's unified worldview with hooky, sharp-angled guitar jams that somehow seem catchier the thrashier they get. Chalk up another win for one of the good guys.

What's next after OSCP?
I am currently starting OSCP, but I can't help but thinking about the future...
After GSEC, CEH and hopefully OSCP, where should I go next if my goal is to be a pentester?
OSCE, GPEN, CPTS, CPTE, other?
I am practicing a lot at home in my lab to gain as much experience as I can. Also, I pay all courses/certs myself.
I have been a web application developer/architect for 10 years now and I am currently re-orienting my career towards pentesting. I have spent the last year studying every single day!
Anyway, I am curious what you guys think I should do next.

Big Question: What is the origination of Independence Day celebrations?
By: Dr. A. Kristen Foster, associate professor of history
As America prepares for its annual celebration of independence, Marquette Magazine asked Dr. A. Kristen Foster to explain the history behind Fourth of July fireworks, food and family fun.
What could be more American than Fourth of July celebrations? With friends and family, we enjoy our day off from work; we flock to local parks for the hallowed picnic; we obligingly take our children to parades; and, of course, we finish the day with fireworks the louder and bigger, the better.
What does all of this have to do with Independence Day? What exactly are we celebrating? The day is a birthday of sorts for the United States a day when larger-than-life revolutionaries like John Hancock, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson signed the treasonous Declaration of Independence. We learned this as children, so it must be true, right?
Actually, almost no one signed the Declaration on July 4, and the names of all signers except Hancock and Charles Thomson were kept secret. So, why choose July 4 for our official celebration? The Battles of Lexington and Concord began the war for independence on April 19, 1775; Richard Henry Lee proposed a resolution for independence on June 2, 1776. Why not September 3, the day the Peace of Paris ended the war in 1783? Any of these dates might work.
Adams made the most persuasive case for an alternate date. He thought July 2 would live "as the great anniversary Festival" since that was the day the Continental Congress voted to approve the Lee Resolution. He even left us with instructions for how to mark the day: "It ought to be solemnized," he wrote, "with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, with Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other … " We have done Adams proud even if we got the date wrong.
It actually took years for Americans to embrace Independence Day celebrations. In 1776, Philadelphians celebrated on July 8 with the first public reading of the Declaration. In 1777, they set a pattern marking the Fourth of July with bonfires and fireworks. Other towns followed Philadelphia's lead; and on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the date the Continental Congress formally adopted (and officially dated) the Declaration of Independence, jubilee celebrations took the country by storm.
It seems that even Adams resigned himself to the primacy of the Fourth: in Shakespearean fashion, he and Jefferson both died on the jubilee, 50 years to the day that they had pushed for the adoption of the magisterial Declaration of Independence.
* It was not until 1870 that the U.S. Congress officially made July 4 a holiday, and 1938 when it made the day a federal holiday with full pay for government employees.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In 1917, in the midst of World War I, the Woodrow Wilson administration had the colorful idea to establish a Bureau of Cartoons (yes, for real). The bureau was charged with enlisting the nation's finest cartoonists to create pamphlets, comic strips, and books to promote messages from Uncle Sam to the home front and our boys overseas. Among the first artists enlisted was legendary illustrator and contraption designer Rube Goldberg, who drew a series pushing Liberty Bonds.
The bureau was disbanded in 1919, but since then the government has employed the cartooning talents of luminaries such as as Will Eisner, Milton Caniff, Walt Kelly, Morrie Turner, and even Dr. Seuss, and the scope of subject matter has grown to include health care, gays in the military, drug addiction, and basically every other social issue you can imagine.
Their work, as well as the work of many long-forgotten artists, is collected in Government Issue: Comics for the People, 1940s-2000s, a new book curated by University of Nebraska art history professor Richard Graham. Here's a slideshow of some of those cartoons.

journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I figured that is what happened with my question, especially since everyone is so busy this time of year.
Yes, I released both queens on April 15. Looks like one was accepted just fine. I found her, plus some capped brood, when I went into the hive the day before yesterday. She's in the TBH with the (closed) screened bottom board.
I have checked three times for the queen in the other hive. I never could find her even though she is marked. The hive numbers are dwindling, the bees seem lethargic, I see very little pollen and can't recall seeing capped stores. I saw no eggs or larvae, but I sure wish it were easier to see through my bee suit screen. I do know there was plenty of fresh, empty comb in which she could lay. I am going to put in another queen this morning and hope it's not too late. I'll leave her in the cage for a few days.
Sondra, I wish I could be more helpful. It does sound like maybe they rejected her. Is there any way you can add some capped brood to this hive to perk them up a little?
Hi Solomon,
From about 30 swarms and cut-outs collected and simply boxed last year, and sent into winter without any help, I have come through with 7 survivors, which includes one outstanding queen/colony. Following advice from R.O.B. Manley, Honey Farming, London, 1946, I have removed her to a small nuc to preserve her for breeding purposes.
(It could be that these are early days, and this hive will suffer from mites later, but so far they are just fine, and I want to develop my breeding skills and system anyway)
This action had the unfortunate effect of stopping the extensive drone production in her original BB+lift box, something I had considered essential to my aim of raising vigourous and productive mite-managers.
So I'm been considering trying inserting large cell foundation into her nuc to try to get her drone numbers back.
Does this sound like a good plan - both overall and on the specific matter of preservation of the most valued queen and drone production?
On the (7 brood frame) queen preservation nuc, I'm thinking of withdrawing one or two frames regularly to stop swarming behaviours developing. I'm thinking about adding a lift too. It seems to me there is a fine line to be found between cramping her to slow her laying (and thus preserving her) and provoking swarming behaviour. Then again, if she raises swarm cells I could always pinch them for new nucs.
Again, can I ask for your thoughts about this general strategy?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike Bispham, UK
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
I will be happy to offer you some thoughts, some of these things I have done, some I have not.
First, I have not been in the habit of setting aside a queen like that, though maybe I should be. This year, it has been quite inconvenient having my breeder queens off-site. I think I will incorporate that into my plan for next year. Another of my problems is not being able to summer a hive of much less than two deeps. They need those honey stores to make it through the summer, a problem I don't think you have. Also, for utilitarian purposes, I like to see what she's capable of, though that may mean a shortened life.
I have on a number of occasions used nucs to build comb. Nucs make good comb builders. I've found that they can draw out a comb and fill it with brood in a week under the right conditions. Then I can remove one of the older frames with honey and keep the brood population high, and maintain the ability to build comb, and yes, this also effectively limits swarming.
I also like the drone comb. I am in the habit of placing foundationless frames in hives I want to make drones and they will. Watch the term "large cell foundation" around here because that typically refers to standard size foundation in this crowd, a number of which use small cell foundation. I don't have much drone foundation myself, just a couple pieces of plastic, but I do use the foundationless frames for that purpose.
Also, around here, pinch usually means squish, but I believe it means steal for you.
What is the state of miticide usage in the UK?
I'm liking this idea of special treatment for the queen of queens more and more. Thanks Solomon!

Are there many successful treatment free hives in England?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
My theory is that cured honey alone during a long hot dearth is not conducive to healthy hives and brood production - it is what they have adapted to keep them going through the winter. The strong subsisted on a simulated nectar flow that was caused by successful robbing, but they were still under a long period of nutritional stress that resulted in a population of weak, short lived bees going into winter.
The survivors this year in my yard are on average the most aggressive bees I have ever had, and I suspect when the flow ends in a few days that they will be brutal robbers.
That's why the shop project of the day is robber screens.
I am a third year bee keeper. I had one hive of Italians that I thought was doing very good and they died last winter(their second year). I now have three hives of carnolians(two are splits). I started them from nucs and they really took off. I split one hive and the one with the queen is doing well the queenless hive has a couple queen cells waiting to hatch. I want to go treatment free. I just got some small plastic frames from Mann Lake. I would hate to lose my bees while switching over. Should I treat for mites this year during transition or try something different like powder sugar?? I've heard that smoke from sumac pods kills mites, true? I really don't want poison in my hive if I can help it. Any suggestions for transition. I am reading this thread a lot....
This is the problem I see with the argument that "one ought to start out the usual way first and then go treatment-free later." It brings all these problems in. I say go treatment-free first. And then go big.
By the way. what difference do you see beekeeping creates in regard to diseases. infections infestations and stresses that they would otherwise not be exposed to if not being kept in extremely unnatural concentrations? Do beekeeping methods increase the likelihood or weaken the bees natural resistance to diseases?

Thank you Solomon Parker
Selective parentage (perhaps better understood as routine and systematic breeding toward health and vitality) has been the essential trick and the keystone of agriculture for thousands of years.
That is what 'treatment free' amounts to. Its simply traditional time-tested husbandry.
There can be no question that it works.
That the 'alternative' the veterinary model of 'husbandry' might work in open populations is however not merely questionable - it is an absurd proposition.
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
Are there many successful treatment free hives in the UK?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
From private conversations I do know people are quietly working at it, and often partially succeeding. Not many are deliberately breeding toward mite resistance -again as far as I know - the 'non-treatment' routines seems to be just that, with consequent high losses. There is, or at least was, a Cornish project, but the last time I spoke with them they didn't seem to have much of a clue about the relationship between treating and resistance. There is a lot of talk about breeding, and long-standing bee-breeders organisation, but they are obsessed with restoration of the native bee. If you try to talk with them about treatments and resistance they'll just say 'the native bee will obviously be best for the UK' and carry on making black-coloured bees which they'll have to treat 'until they develop resistance'.
But I'm not well up on what goes on on the forums or anywhere else - I just do my own thing - and that seems to be working so far.
In Europe there is John Kefus of course.
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
OK well I had a look at your site and did understand and sympathise with the cross breeding problem with non resistant stock.
But from your post I take it that you anyway, are successfully treatment free?
Reason I'm asking, well there's a few issues of similarities, I think, between your country and mine. Neither have Africanised bees, that I know of, and in my country there are no successful treatment free beekeepers, not one. That's despite me and I've discovered 2 others, making a fairly determined attempt at it but in the end failing. There is one guy here still running a good number of treatment free hives but he hasn't been going long. He has the advantage I didn't of being in a fairly isolated area, he uses the bond method.
Anyhow sorry about the rant, just wondering what I could learn from the UK situation.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
[QUOTE=Oldtimer;974862]... from your post I take it that you anyway, are successfully treatment free?/QUOTE]
I don't treat or manipulate in any way that might obstruct the development of a resistant population. I split from what seem to be the healthiset, most productive, vigourous and trouble free hives. And I'm working at building numbers and dominating the airspace around my mating yard.
I started out with as many swarms and cut-outs from what I understood were long-standing feral colonies as I could get my hands on, and making increase quickly. I lost about 2/3rds last winter, but that's pretty much what i expected - and wanted - to happen. It was, by our standards a dreadful summer and a similarly awful winter, and I was hard on them.
I currently have 30 (apparently trouble-free) hives at varying stages of development - most this year's splits. This is the third year of an attempt to do this, and I think I now have the genetic material I need to make it work - but - we'll see. I'm optimistic that I'll lose less than a 1/3rd this winter - I can just see how much stronger they are this year.

By the way, British native bees, I know about them, that's what we used to have here, the early settlers brought them. It was a long time before a different breed arrived, Italians. The British bees were pretty much wiped out when varroa arrived, they go extinct in each area within 2 or 3 years of varroa getting there. Of course the other bees are all partially hybridised so there is still some British genetics. But nothing too pure they cannot live with varroa.

Make her a big 4 patch quilt! Easy to do, not so hard to watch disappear.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Make her a big 4 patch quilt! Easy to do, not so hard to watch disappear.
Donated quilts - I've had the same 'wonders', because we just don't know the circumstances or abilities of the recipients. But I consider the quilts to be donations of love that happen to be in quilt form. I don't know anyoner who doesn't need more love, even if they only feel that love for a few minutes. But I do know that some will "feel the love" from them for days, months and years...the rest of their lives. That makes it worthwhile.
Good Grief! I can sort of understand an old worn out quilt ending up there, but a new quilt! REALLY! I have only made one quilt to give away and it was greatly appreciated. A friend of mine got breast cancer and I wanted to make something personal to cheer her up. I used bright colors and put bright yellow fleece on the back. She still tells me how cuddly and wonderful it is and how her friends all complement it. I am planning on doing a quilt Xmas next year and after reading all of this will be careful who is on the list. I have made many a dog bed and stuffed it with foam or left over batting etc. but a quilt for a doggie always came out of my scrap pile, not my new fabric stash.
I just received a picture of the dog sleeping on the Christmas quilt I gave my daughter. The dog did look happy.
hmmm, i like a lot more dogs than people, so i'm not sure i'd mind that much. our dogs sleep on the bed or the furniture and therefore on whatever is on the bed or the furniture. certainly no disrespect is intended.
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
I made a memory quilt for a dog. My friend's mom past, and she asked me to make the whole family memory quilts from her clothing. That little dog, tinker, adored it, and took it everywhere she went.
I also wanted to say, I am and Ebay buyer. I look for charity quilts, new or used and I buy them. I somehow feel it is helping two people that way, the owner who posted the quilt and the maker. Because my kids know the importance of my quilts and they are well loved, I know that they will stay in my family long after I am gone.
Resolve to be thyself, and know, that he who finds himself, loses his misery. Mathew Arnold 'Self-Dependence' 1822-1888

Colorado Rush celebrated its 15th birthday in style on Monday during the clubs annual awards banquet.
The celebration of Colorado Rush players, coaches, staff and parents was capped with several very special awards.
Rush Hall of Fame: Long time Colorado Rush coach and Rush Soccer Technical Director Andrew Kummer was inducted into the Rush Hall of Fame for his contributions to the Rush over the last 15 years. Kummer, who was not told about the award prior to the event, commented, "It came as a total shock. The whole time Dave Dengerink (at right) was giving the induction speach I was flying through thoughts in my head about what to day. But it is a true honor. I am proud to have been part of this organization and worked with some of the best people in the country." Kummer was on hand to recognize the Colorado Rush team that finished as USYS National Runners up last summer at U18.
Spirit of Rush Award: In the spring of 2011, New Mexico Rush player Warren Roberson was climbing in the Sandia Mountains outside of Albuquerque when he slipped and fell resulting in a broken neck. Warren was rushed to Craig hospital in Denver where months of surgeries, rehabilitation and hard work have taken Warren from the hospital room, to walking up on stage to receive the award. There were few dry eyes in the house after hearing about Warren's incredible journey. Please see the interview below with Warren for more.
Colorado Rush Technical Director Erik Bushey shared his thoughts on the night, "The night was a wonderful celebration complete with special guests, entertaining videos, good music and great players. Andrew is well deserved of the Hall of Fame award and it was great to see so many of our players and volunteers receive recognition. After only 15 years, we are still in our infancy compared to the rest of the world but we look forward to the next 100 years!"

Reviews of this property
Perfect host and very nice people ,ready to help .day and at night!
proper room and we were so sorry we had to leave....
15 minutes walking of the center.PERFECT!
We had a very enjoyable visit to Brussels staying at the Medina apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and well situated near the Brussels Midi station and a easy walk into the city centre.
The apartment is clean, easy to find and is close to the Midi station and several tram lines. Walk to the center is a quarter of an hour. Nearby there are several restaurants that stay open late. The apartment is well equipped, perhaps you need to have certain commodities such as oil and salt to cook, as the kitchen all right.
El apartamento está limpio, es fácil de encontrar y está cerca de la estación de Midi como de varias líneas de tranvía. Al centro a pie hay un cuarto de hora. En la zona hay varios restaurantes que abren hasta tarde. El apartamento está bien equipado, tal vez le falta tener ciertos productos básicos como aceite y sal para poder cocinar, en cuanto al menaje todo correcto.
Beautiful room near the Brussels Midi station. The only disadvantage is the distance between the center and the apartment, a 20-30minutos, pergeneral great! Apartment nicely decorated and spacious.
Good place to be When you visit Brussels. Very close to Brussels Midi station. the distance to the city center is acerca 25-30minuts walking. Very nice and very comfortable apartment provided With all the things that you 'need.
Habitación preciosa cerca de la estación de Midi de Bruselas. El único inconveniente la distancia entre el centro y el apartamento,unos 20-30minutos, pergeneral muy bien! Apartamento muy bien decorado y amplio.
Good place to be when you visit Brussels. Very close to brussels Midi station. the distance to the city centre is about 25-30minuts walking. Very nice apartment and very confortable provided with all the things that you need.
It was a very great stay. We received friendly and things were as described. There is a private car park which you can rent for 15 euros per day, is safe.
We look forward to our next stay will be there again.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The flat was very big, with lot of beds and comfortable sofas. The kitchen was ok, but the oven was broken or we didn't get how to use it. It is very close to one of the principal station.
The bad side is that you have to pay a deposit of 100 euros, that is too much, in other places we stayed we didn't have to pay it a or was less. If you don't clean the kitchen before go they keep the deposit. It add lot of stress to the trip, I really hate this!!!. In addition if you don't have that amount of money in cash, you have to pay it with the credit card, and then the money take lot of time to be available again.
Fair priced. Had a comfortable stay.
Our stay at this apartment was great. Clean, tidy and very neat. We really felt ourselves at home. Great experience. Thanks a lot.

ICTs, Climate Change and Development: New Concept Paper and Scoping Study
Two new documents on ICTs, climate change and development are available online at: http://www.niccd.org/resources.htm
Concept Paper: builds four new conceptual models –
i) Climate change vulnerability in developing countries;
ii) Climate change adaptation and adaptive capacity of communities and wider "livelihood systems";
iii) Climate change resilience;
iv) The contribution of ICTs to 'e-resilience' and 'e-adaptation'. The models can be used as the
foundation for research, consulting and strategy on ICTs and climate
Scoping Study: charts strands and trends in the literature on ICTs, climate change and development, and develops an overview model of the key ICT application areas – mitigation, strategy, monitoring and adaptation. The scoping study identifies priorities for future research in this field, provides a glossary of field terms, and includes an annotated bibliography of key documents from 1997-2010.
These documents are the product of the University of Manchester's "Climate Change, Innovation and ICTs" research project, funded by Canada's International Development Research Centre (http://www.idrc.ca) and managed by the University's Centre for Development Informatics (http://www.manchester.ac.uk/cdi).

Lake Baikal - littoral zone
The littoral zone in many parts of Lake Baikal is nearly absent, because the lake bottom drops off suddenly to deep depths. Consequently, the bow of this 18 m long research vessel is beached on shore for boarding and deboarding while the stern of the vessel floats over water that is 20-50 meters deep. Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, is a tectonic basin with a shape resembling that of a bathtub (i.e., steep-sided). The research vessel shown here is the "Professor Kozhov", owned and maintained by Irkutsk State University.
