I had to go to Edinburgh at short notice, arriving on a (very!) late flight and was looking for somewhere to stay relatively close to the airport and on a bus route in to town for the next day. Juliet's place was a great find and communication with her via the Wimdu site/mail was really easy. She responded very quickly to my questions.
Unfortunately my flight was delayed and it was after 1 a.m. before I got to the house but Juliet stayed up to let me in and show me the room. It was great to see her waving out of the window when I got out of the taxi and knowing I didn't need to ring the bell or call her and waken the whole household! At that time of night/morning I paid GBP 16 (including small tip) for a taxi from the airport to the house - about a 15 minute journey.
Breakfast the next morning was very much to my taste and the time I showed up to have it was totally up to me which was great. I slept well. The rooms are to the back of the house and there is no street noise. I was also lucky that there was no-one in the other room so no noise from there and I had the bathroom to myself.
The second morning I had to leave quite early to get to the airport. I opted to take the 41 bus in to town and then change to the tram on Princes Street. This worked well and the totally journey quite early on a Saturday morning took just under an hour and cost GBP 1.60 for the bus plus GBP 5.50 for the tram. Make sure you have plenty of coins for public transport!! Even the super new tram ticket machines do not take notes - only coins or credit cards. Juliet recommended changing notes in the branch of Tesco right next to the house. This worked well. The guy even asked if I was changing for bus fares and gave me exactly the coins I needed!
It is definitely worth the short walk from the house to Lauriston Castle. The grounds are free of charge (open until 8 p.m. - at least in June) and the view of the Firth is really lovely.
In summary: great location with good infrastructure round about, quiet room, friendly/accommodating hostess, Definitely to be recommended! Thanks, Juliet!
For a travelling granny who fetched up in a strange city, arriving at Juliet's home was marvellous. Warmth, interest and plenty of information was always available. I was welcomed into the heart of the family - the kitchen - and felt quite at home.
Thank you Juliet and Ian for a very successful few nights stay with you both.
Wonderful stay in Edinburgh! Juliet gave us a perfect start in Scotland, very warm welcome, nice room and great breakfast.

Hi foalks,Juliet,
what to write here,I gave it a serious thought but I don't really know.
The bed&bathroom were excellent but allthough I tried,I missed the warmth of your family,I got the impression that what I saw on your profilepicture,the smiling Juliet,whas long gone.
Take care Juliet. I know you've got a good heart!
And thanks for helping me out,again.
Morad. A. Macherhi
From the moment we arrived, a welcome cup of tea, up to our check out 5 days later, when they called a taxi for us, everything was great.
A very much family run guest house we were made very welcome by the host family. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean with very comfortable beds (especially after a long day sightseeing). Although on a fairly busy road the rooms were quiet.
Easy travel into Edinburgh, a vibrant city with plenty to see and do and at all the places of interest we visited the personnel were smart, friendly and helpful.
We would certainly recommend this guest house
Thanks Juliet for an enjoyable stay! We strongly recommend to stay with Juliet and her family and take part of the Edinburgska life and Cramond. Easy transportation from the airport and to downtown. When we return to Edinburgh we do not need to think about where to stay - the choice is already made! It gets rid of Juliet!
Tack Juliet för en angenäm vistelse! Vi rekommenderar varmt att bo hos Juliet och hennes familj och få ta del av det Edinburgska livet och Cramond. Lätt att transportera sig från flygplatsen och till innerstaden.
När vi återvänder till Edinburgh behöver vi inte i fundera på var vi ska bo - valet är redan gjort! Det får bli hos Juliet!

Valentina picked us up and brought us neatly to the apartment. Well organized! Apartment is in super near Venice. Apartment is fine with a disadvantage! Shower was downright bad. No hot water or only very briefly. We were four of us but were all nice shower after a day of cruising that I did not have one drawback. If you paid this price we could do with a good shower. Looks better on the pictures than it is! Everything is a little old to be ...
Valentina kwam ons ophalen en heeft ons keurig naar het appartement gebracht. Prima geregeld!! Appartement ligt in super buurt van Venetië. Appartement is prima met een nadeel!
Douche was ronduit slecht. Geen warm water of slechts zeer kort. Wij waren er met z'n vieren maar konden na een dagje cruisen niet lekker allemaal douchen, dat vond ik wel een nadeel. Als je deze prijs betaald mag er wel een goede douche zijn. Ziet er op de foto's mooier uit dan het is! Alles is een beetje oud aan het worden...
apartment pleasant location but diff to join the owner as no appointment given prob pressure and hot water in the shower and not finesse household while 85 species had in verses! despite all that pleasant
appartement agreable bien situé mais diff à joindre la proprietaire car pas de rdv donné,
prob de pression et d'eau chaude dans la douche et menage pas en finesse alors que 85 eu en especes verses!
malgré tout ça séjour agréable
Thank you for a lovely reception in Venice. Everything worked out very well. The apartment we liked. Günter, Michaela, Marko and Cornelia

The location of the apartment is nice and quiet. Marco explained to us all working well but overall the apartment missing basic cookware, coffeemakers estavan broken i had no cloths. The mattresses are very uncomfortable. In general it is expensive so is the apartment.
La ubicacion del apartamento esta bien y es tranquilo. Marco nos explico muy bien todo el funcionamiento pero en general en el apartamento faltan utensilios de cocina basicos, las cafeteras estavan rotas i no habia ni trapos. Los colchones son muy incomodos. En general es caro por lo que es el apartamento.
Super spacious, great location!!! But wifi is not working during our stay.
Very nice apartment in centre Venice, within walking distance from everything. The apartment was very clean and had everything a self-catering place should have. Marco was great, he explained everything and gave us useful information and maps. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
Spacious apartment. Very near the Grand Canal which you can see if you lean out of the window. There are some maintenance issues which need addressing.
The stay was decent but what our disappointing was that a number of things were broken. Lamps, loose toilet seat etc. But what most disappointing was the fact that our host but did not respond to our calls because the wifi did not work. We find that there is absolutely contact during the stay possible. The apartment was in an excellent area, close to everything but still quiet
Het verblijf was redelijk maar wat ons tegenviel was dat er een aantal zaken kapot waren. Lampen, toiletzitting los etc.
Maar wat het meeste tegenviel was het feit dat onze host maar niet antwoordde op onze telefoontjes omdat de wifi niet werkte. We vinden dat er absoluut contact tijdens het verblijf mogelijk moet zijn. Het appartement lag in een uitstekende wijk, dichtbij alles en toch rustig
The property is surely not few steps away from San Marco as stated. The facilities are very minimal . There is no one to ask for advice or help if needed urgently, we were met by a guy called Marco who took us to the flat, of course we were charged for all the services.
This flat is a bit over stated.

The Flying Dutchmen will be seeking to maintain the momentum of a string of successful seasons as they approach a reconfigured conference season. The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) has instituted a post-season tournament to determine who will represent the conference in the NCAA championships. In past years the regular season champion has received the league's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. Beginning this spring the top four teams in the regular season will play in the qualifying tournament.
Coach Stu Fritz's Dutchmen finished second in the MIAA last spring and posted an overall 26-14 record. The Dutchmen had a successful season-opening trip, winning seven of their nine games. Hope split its four-game series with conference champion Adrian, highlighted by a season-ending doubleheader sweep on the Bulldogs' diamond.
Over 18 years as coach, coach Fritz has guided the Flying Dutchmen to eight conference championships and 384 victories.
Hope's pre-season roster of 30 players includes 19 returning letterwinners. The team consists of eight freshmen, 10 sophomores, six juniors and six seniors.
The co-captains are senior Danny Detmar of Chesterton, Ind., junior TJ Klein of Circle Pines, Minn. (Centennial HS), senior Chris Mattson of Muskegon (Mona Shores HS), and senior Jon Ponte of Novi (Divine Child HS). Ponte, Hope's starting catcher since his freshman year, has the distinction of being a captain as both a junior and senior.
The Flying Dutchmen return six players who received All-MIAA honors in 2011. First team returnees include junior second baseman Ty Peterson of Wheaton, Ill. (Warrenville South HS), senior shortstop Chris Mattson, and senior pitcher Adam Clements of Saline (Saline HS). All-MIAA second team returnees are Jon Ponte, junior outfielder TJ Klein, and senior pitcher Danny Detmar. Mattson and Ponte have received All-MIAA honors twice in their careers. Ponte carries a .356 career batting average.
In addition to receiving All-MIAA honors, Clements was honored as an All-Region pitcher behind a sterling 1.29 earned run average and 7-3 record. Among all pitchers in NCAA Division III, he ranked ninth in earned run average and was in the top 100 in victories (#76, 7-3), fewest hits allowed per nine innings (#62, 6.94), and fewest walks allowed per nine innings (#36, 1.29). With a 17-5 career record, Clements should challenge Hope's alltime mark of 22 victories, a mark shared by John Klunder and Greg Heeres in the 1980s.
Junior pitcher Jordan Carrigan of Buchanan (Berrien Springs HS) is Hope's alltime career leader for saves (10). Sophomore third baseman Chris Dawson of Grand Haven (Midland HS) had an outstanding first collegiate season as he ranked 20th nationally as the toughest batter to strikeout (4 Ks in 142 plate appearances) and 54th in sacrifice flies (five).
The Flying Dutchmen play their games at the college's four-year-old Boeve Baseball Stadium.

Breaking: Chicago eliminated from Olympics voting — in first round; Update: Total shock in Chi-town; Update: Rio gets the games
posted at 11:31 am on October 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
You've got to be kidding. No link yet but stand by for updates.
Update: The president, the first lady, even Oprah — all of them showed up to make the pitch.
And they ended up being the very first city eliminated.
In a stunning development, Chicago was the first city eliminated on Friday in IOC voting to be host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics…
His wife tugged at IOC members' heart strings by discussing her late father, who had multiple sclerosis. She recounted sitting on his lap, watching Olympians such as Carl Lewis and Nadia Comaneci compete, and how her father "taught me how to throw a ball and a mean right hook."
"My dad would have been so proud to witness these games in Chicago," she said.
It's only right that I eat crap here for having insisted that this was a done deal and that The One wouldn't dare risk his political capital on a completely needless humiliation. You're a bigger sucker than I thought, champ.
Update: "Depression and shock" in Chicago.
The Daley Plaza crowd reacted to Chicago's elimination in silence. Some members of the crowd were crying as they walked away. People blamed negative media attention on the bid and former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan's lack of participation as reasons for the loss.
"We weren't unified as a city. We didn't get behind this enough," said Rob Fox of Chicago.
"Michael Jordan didn't show up," said Margaret Johnson of Chicago. "His city asked him for help and he turned his back on us."
Is that going to be the White House spin? It's Michael Jordan's fault?
Update: As expected, The One didn't stick around to face the possibility of humiliation.
Throngs watching the voting in downtown Chicago's Daley Plaza gasped in disappointment as the announcement was made.
United States Olympic Committee leaders appeared stunned by the news and had no comment as they left the voting hall. Mr. Obama was flying back to Washington at the time of the vote.
Update: Another potential scapegoat to go along with Michael Jordan: School violence.
Luciano Reyes speculated that Chicago was undone by a negative reputation internationally.
"The violence in the schools became an international issue, and all the corruption, the rest of the world just sees us as Crook Town," said Reyes, 59, currently unemployed, who bought his first TV two decades ago specifically to watch the Olympics.
Update: There has to be a way to blame this on Bush somehow. Theories welcome in the comments!
Update: Open a browser tab, point it to this Tribune page, and just keep refreshing as reports of the shock over The God That Failed roll in. My favorite quote: "I really don't know what happened. Maybe the 'machine' isn't working."
Update: To no one's surprise, the games end up in Brazil.

This week, we're joining a guided tour of the Maine Museum of Political Paleontology. A docent is explaining to a group of schoolchildren what's happening in a scene depicting cave people trying to register to vote.
"That mean-looking creature dressed in the bearskin loincloth and carrying a big club is standing in their way," said the docent. "He's called a 'Charlie Webster' or in Latin, Neanderthalus bumblebrainium, and he's arguing that living in a hole in the hillside does not constitute residency. Charlie's species, the Maine Republican State Committee, lost the power to think logically about 50,000 years ago, after repeatedly banging their heads against big rocks."
The group moved on past a perfectly preserved fossil of the Maine Democratic Party. "This specimen has to be propped up," said the guide, "because it doesn't stand for anything."
Next was a painting showing primitive politicians trapped in what appeared to be a tar pit. The docent explained, "This is a scientifically accurate depiction of several extinct species — such as 'Ethan Strimling,' 'Nick Mavodones,' and 'Mike Brennan' — being sucked down in the 2011 Portland mayoral election by something called 'instant-runoff voting.'"
There were other exhibits showing the sad results of failed evolutionary paths: term limits, public campaign financing, the movement to reduce the size of the Legislature.
Then, in a dim hallway in the back of the building, they came upon a musty relic, displaying the unfortunate results of years of neglect.
"Oh," said the surprised docent, "I didn't realize this was still here. I thought it had been disposed of because it was no longer relevant."
"What is it?" asked one of the little brats, poking at the cobwebbed form. "It looks like a giant mosquito."
"It's a gadfly," the guide said. "In the 20th century, there were lots of them hovering around municipal government in an effort to keep property taxes down. But after Paul LePage got elected governor in 2010, the idea of reducing property taxes died off, and these pests ceased to exist.
"If you were really, really old, you'd probably remember all the talk back in the 1980s and '90s about reforming local levies on houses and land to make them less burdensome to middle-class families, young people, and those on fixed incomes. I think the museum's archives might even have some of those ancient statements on file. Yes, here they are."
In 1989, GOP state Representative Philip Jackson of Harrison was quoted in a Portland Press Herald story as saying, "[E]very community in the state wants some form of property tax relief."
"I want to tell you, there's not a whole lot good to say about the property tax," Bangor City Manager Edward Barrett told the Bangor Daily News in 1993. "Every poll that's ever taken, the property tax is the least popular tax."
In 1998, Portland Mayor George Campbell wrote a newspaper op-ed that claimed, "Reducing property taxes is the highest priority for Maine citizens."
"If we [the Legislature] don't deal with [property tax relief] comprehensively, then you will get a citizen-initiated referendum and [the issue] will be taken away from us," warned Republican state Senator Karl Turner of Cumberland in a 2002 Maine Sunday Telegram story.
"Taxes have to go down," Sheldon Bubier of Greene told the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2004. "We're losing our land to taxes."

Thomas Thwaites:
How I built a toaster — from scratch
It takes an entire civilization to build a toaster. Designer Thomas Thwaites found out the hard way, by attempting to build one from scratch: mining ore for steel, deriving plastic from oil ... it's frankly amazing he got as far as he got. A parable of our interconnected society, for designers and consumers alike.

During last week's Harrison County Fiscal Court meeting, county leaders discussed giving pay raises to county employees.
Judge Alex Barnett recommended a 5 percent increase "based on the financial condition" of the county.
From the discussions around the table it appeared magistrates were weighing in on both sides of the issue. However, all were in agreement that the men and women who make up the county's payroll work hard. That's never been the issue.
Since the middle of August, The Cynthiana Democrat has published four articles and five letters to the editor regarding the proposed zone change at the Business Park.
By now, readers are aware that United Propane Gas asked for the zone change in the corner lot of the industrial park, which neighbors Connersville Pike.
The proposed request asked that the lot be rezoned 'heavy industrial' to allow for the storage of propane gas.
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
It's before Thanksgiving, I know.
I'm reluctant to even admit this, but I must confess... I have already started listening to Christmas music.
This weekend, while traveling on the Bluegrass Parkway to Bowling Green, Ky., I became extremely tired of driving.
The Bluegrass Parkway has this effect on many. Stretching from Lexington to Elizabethtown, the journey is half of the three-hour trek I make many weekends to see my fiancé Andrew.
To the editor:
We would like to thank everyone who gave to the Christmas Angel program this year. We appreciate the tremendous generosity and support which was received. With your giving, over 500 children were served. Thank you for helping make Christmas a very special time in the life of a child. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful holiday season.

Revelation 21 tells of the start of the eternal day and what God has prepared for all of his people. No other passages in the Bible are like the last two chapters of Revelation. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and first earth are passed away and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for husband."
"Just the facts, ma'am," said Sgt. Joe Friday in nearly every segment of Dragnet.
Jack Webb portrayed Sgt. Friday in probably the first of many cop shows. He used that statement when a witness strayed too far from what he or she actually knew to be true and began to delve into hearsay or rumor.
I pulled those profound words from my memory recently when a plethora of rumors began circulating through our community gossip mill. Funny how they apply to my job as well.
"Just the facts."
Smoking should not be banned from public places. It's pointless to argue against it because the effects would be the same if you banned it.
Companies will lose smokers' money. Non-smokers may choose to leave a restaurant if they wish. If you ban smoking it wouldn't matter to peoples' health because it's still in the air, no matter what. If it's banned, people will go elsewhere to buy their cigarettes and local tobacco sellers would go out of business.
In conclusion I believe smoking in public places shouldn't be banned.
I'm conducting an unscientific experiment this summer.
No television.
That's right. I've turned over my remote control for a reading lamp and novel.
I can't say I've missed the nightly surf through endless titles of summer re-runs.
I've always enjoyed reading, but just on a casual basis. I would get a book and read on it for a couple of weeks. However, sometimes I go on marathon reads. I have been known to still be awake trying to finish a book when my husband gets up for work at 5 a.m.
I believe that smoking should not be allowed in pubic places in Cynthiana. Smoke affects everyone you are around, and it is not fair to people who do not smoke. Not only that, but employees would be forced to work in an environment they don't like. If the smokers really want to smoke so badly, they can wait until they are not around others.
If you've ever wondered what members of Congress do to earn their keep, the current health-care debate on Capitol Hill should give you a good idea. This complex legislation, placed on the congressional agenda by President Obama but shaped by the intense give-and-take of the legislative process, is a perfect window into our democracy.
My usual church time is the Saturday night service. If I do go to church on Sunday, I prefer going at 9 a.m.
A few weeks ago, however, I went to the later Sunday morning service because I was meeting someone afterwards for a newspaper story I was working on.
On Saturday nights, I like to watch the sky through the giant arched window above the stage area in the sanctuary. At this time of year, the sun sets while church is going on and dusk is gorgeous, with the sky changing from blue to amber to black.
On Nov. 18 and 19, the co-operative extension service hosted "Recipe for Reading" for all fifth grade students in the Harrison County Public School System. During this time students were taught kitchen techniques, measuring, the value of reading and the food guide pyramid.
I'm trying to remember Jesus.
Not that I've ever really forgotten him. But there once was a time when he was my first and highest thought.
There once was a time when my relationship with him took priority and precedence over everything else.
Somewhere, sometime, somehow in the past 30 years I pushed him aside, although that sounds harsh, a violent, one-time shove.
During the strong winds last Thursday, traveling on Lafferty Pike, I came upon a large fallen tree in the road at the top of a hill. Several cars had stopped as two men with a chain saw, in the rain, were clearing the road. In no time all vehicles were able to pass safely, including one man who came back in the line of cars, put the chain saw in his car and left.
Thanks from all who were waiting and able to continue safely.

The 2009 Hoopin' on the Hilltop basketball tournament was hosted by the Harrison County Boys Basketball Boosters over the weekend of Nov. 20. The success of this event is due to the support of several local businesses, including McDonald's, Snappy Tomato Pizza, Southern States of Cynthiana and Hinkle Construction.
Operation Christmas Child was a great success this year in Harrison County. Last year our community collected just over 700 boxes for this ministry. The total for this year was 834. Wow!
We would like to say thank you to our community in supporting this ministry. Whether you gave a monetary gift, an empty shoebox a filled shoebox or items to be placed in shoeboxes or maybe all you could do was pray, it was all deeply, deeply appreciated and will change the life of a child somewhere in the world.
Good news for all you cranky pants people: According to an Australian study, thinking negatively and being sad may actually be good for you.
The study, conducted by a psychology professor at the University of New South Wales, showed that people with negative moods seem to be less gullible and better able to judge other people and their surroundings.

text: So I started my packages off on Mann Lake PF-125 frames, the brood is emerging and I have tons of visibly smaller bees running around all over the place which makes me think my new generation bees are indeed small cell. That said, if I continue on the Mann Lake PF-125 frames for the next 2 or 3 brood cycles and then start throwing in foundationless am I correct in that by then all the old bees will have passed on and the new bees drawing out the foundationless will be drawing it small cell? If not, how many brood cycles should one go through till the hive is "officially" small cell?

Apache Hadoop* Framework Spotlights
Apache Hadoop open-source community experts explain how it all works
Apache Hadoop* is evolving as the best new approach to unstructured data analytics. Hadoop is an open source framework that uses a simple programming model to enable distributed processing of large data sets on clusters of computers.
Learn from some of the experts leading open-source community efforts for four key elements of an Apache Hadoop solution: the Apache Hadoop Distributed File System* (Apache HDFS*), Apache MapReduce*. Apache Pig*, and Apache HCatalog*.
Apache Hadoop* Distributed File System
What exactly is Apache HDFS*? How does it work? Konstantin Shvachko explains it all, including limitations, and where software development is headed.
Hadoop MapReduce*
The secrets of MapReduce, a powerful model for parallel processing large data sets are revealed by expert Deveraj Das.
Apache Pig*
Create your own Apache MapReduce applications. Alan Gates explains how the Apache Pig platform high-level data flow programming language and execution framework make it easy.
Apache HCatalog*
Is big data interoperability possible? Apache Hadoop open-source community expert Alan Gates explains how integration tool HCatalog enables data interoperability for the Hadoop* framework and external system users.
Apache Hive*
Apache Hive is more than a SQL engine for SQL queries. Apache Hadoop open-source community expert Carl Steinbach explains how the things that make Hive really novel are its facilities for data and metadata management.

Wine often is seen as a pleasant retirement project. For some, this means owning a boutique vineyard or investing in some good bottles for the cellar.
But for billionaire US businessman Bill Foley it's meant buying up a string of well-known Kiwi labels and creating a New Zealand wine group that's become one of the largest in the country.
"I thought I was going to retire in 1995 and moved to Santa Barbara," Foley tells me on one of his now-regular trips to New Zealand.
However, living in Californian wine country inspired him to learn more about wine and make a few modest investments, escalating with the acquisition of Santa Barbara County's first estate winery, Firestone.
Then in 2008, he decided to "get serious" about wine, taking a hands-on role in his wine company, Foley Family Wines, and buying an increasing array of properties both in the US and now here.
Already a fan of Central Otago pinot noir and sauvignon blanc, Foley first visited New Zealand as a tourist in 2002. He found himself tarrying in Central Otago on account of the wines and then again in Martinborough, where he stayed at Wharekauhau Lodge, which he now owns.
"We made the trip into a wine adventure," he recalls.
"New Zealand sauvignon blancs are outstanding, while its pinot noirs are very delicate compared to the big, round fruit bombs in the US, so you have a very different style of wine here," he enthuses.
"It's also an unbelievably beautiful country."
When he was considering places in the world to expand his wine interests, New Zealand ticked the right boxes for Foley. The wines of Europe were too confusing, he thought, and Australian currency too strong against the American dollar, "so it was the best business decision as well as the place I really wanted to go to," he says.
He then set about looking for struggling businesses with potential, first snapping up the New Zealand Wine Fund in 2009, the umbrella group for brands such as Vavasour, Dashwood, Goldwater and Clifford Bay.
He went on to buy a stake in local wine distribution company EuroVintage, bought Martinborough producer Te Kairanga and, last year, took control of the New Zealand Wine Company, adding Grove Mill, Sanctuary and Frog Haven to his portfolio.
"I think the wines of New Zealand have tremendous potential," he says. "I don't know about the Bordeaux reds in a competitive market, but with sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and chardonnay as well, there's a gigantic future."
Foley is a man who thinks big, making his bucks in the mortgage title business, where he led Fidelity National Financial to become one of the largest title insurance companies in the US.
His plans for wine in New Zealand are also significant, with further vineyard acquisitions, particularly in Marlborough, on the cards.
Foley now spends a big chunk of time overseeing his business interests in New Zealand. This trip he's over for a series of meetings and to celebrate the first anniversary of the Wharekauhau Food and Wine Society, the New Zealand arm of Foley's network of luxury lodges and wine interests.
He's also looking forward to doing a spot of blending with John Kavanagh, the ex-Neudorf winemaker Foley Family Wines recruited to turn things around at Te Kairanga.
"I really enjoy the talking part," says Foley, with a smile, "but in matters of blending, I give restrained opinion."
The Foley family's links to both wine and New Zealand have just been further strengthened with Foley's son, Patrick, starting his studies in winemaking and viticulture here at Lincoln University. He's the third of Foley's four offspring to become involved with wine.
Speaking to Foley, it's clear that he's no distant foreign investor, and the scope of his wine project highlights this is no ordinary retirement venture.
Dashwood Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012 - $18.99
With its ripe and succulent notes of passionfruit and guava nectar, and attractive herbal edge, the Dashwood sauvignon offers great value for money.
Vavasour Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012 - $21.50
A sauvignon that adds both elegance and weight to its blackcurrant leaf, bergamot and fresh herbs, underpinned by an attractive, slaty, minerally line.
Te Kairanga Runholder Pinot Noir 2011 - $30.99
Blended by Te Kairanga's new winemaker John Kavanagh, the red and dark fruit combined with notes of exotic spice and florals in this pinot suggest a promising start to the next chapter in the winery's history. (Stockists for all wines include Caro's, Glengarry, Bacchus Upland Village & Selected Fine Wine Retailers.)

Scandinavian company Filmkompaniet just made it a little bit easier to introduce my children to a childhood favorite of mine. Tove Jansson's The Moomins, have a been a book, a comic strip, a cartoon, a stop action animation, a 3D film, an opera and a theme park. Their next step? Of course, there's an app for that!
The Moomins is set in the fictional Moomin Valley in the forests of Finland. The three main characters, MoominPapa, MoominMama and MoominTroll are a family of Trolls who are accompanied on their adventures by curious friends such as Mymble, Little My, the Hemulen and Snork Maiden. The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My was the first book to be adapted for the Ipad, but you can now watch the entire Moomins TV series on your windows device. The windows app contains a free version of the episode The Vampire Hunt, a presentation of the characters and a summary of the episode. At the moment only a selection of the 78 episodes are available, but the plan is to make everything available as soon as possible. The app is available for download from the Windows Store and is compatible with Windows 8 and Windows RT devices.

I'm not new at bee keeping but this is my first time joining this forum.
I have had bees since I was nine and now I'm running close to sixty.
I have never harvested honey, but enjoy watching the bees work.
In North East Ohio it is hard to winter over a hive, MITES!!
I just purchased a three pound package, today I opened the hive and feed them, bee syrup and also candy made with, honey, sugar, corn syrup and pollen replacer.
The candy is more like a foundate, and the bees love it.
For the first time a weeks we had a nice sunny day. The bees were busy out foraging and even have some uncapped honey. In our area the apples are just breaking color in the blossoms, some more warm days and we will have full blooms.
Hope all are well and have healthy hives.

Considering that Robert Griffin III and Chip Kelly now reside in the NFC East, the division is only getting faster.
The Giants defense struggled this past season, especially when trying to stop the run. They finished 25th against the rush. While they beat the Redskins once and held them to 17 points in their loss at Washington, Griffin rushed for 89 and 72 yards and Alfred Morris racked up 120 and 124 yards against them in both meetings against the Giants.
And during an early 19-17 loss to the Eagles, the Giants couldnt set the edge and allowed LeSean McCoy to rush for 123 yards and Michael Vick to scramble for 49 yards during that game -- the majority of those yards coming in the second half.
It remains to be seen what Kellys offense will be like in the pros, but he will have McCoy and DeSean Jacksons speed to work with.

UTSA scholarship and awards dinner raises $1.9 million
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Associate Director of Public Affairs
(Oct. 12, 2005)--The University of Texas at San Antonio's 2005 President's Scholarship and Awards Dinner was held last night, Oct. 11, at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel, an event that celebrated two special friends of the university and raised a record $1.9 million for UTSA scholarships and other academic programs.
The dinner, attended by more than 900 guests, recognized Richard S. Liu, an international businessman well-known for his interest in building cultural bridges between the U.S. and China and for his leadership and commitment to UTSA, and Mrs. John B. Connally, the former first lady of Texas, for her extraordinary dedication to higher education and for partnerships with UTSA.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Liu received the 2005 Tom C. FrostAward, a recognition given annually by UTSA to an outstanding citizen who has provided exceptional leadership to important business and community endeavors. Previous award winners are former Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe and Ed Whitacre Jr., chairman of the board and chief executive officer of SBC Communications Inc.
"Tonight's dinner recognizes extraordinary leadership and commitment to expanding access to higher education," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "Richard Liu is an international leader in business who is responsible for creating some of the most productive and innovative educational partnerships between the U.S. and China, a global economic partner with our country."
The Liu's Family Foundation U.S.-China Business Education Initiative at UTSA is a program that has supported the exchange of more than 100 students and scholars with five partner universities in China.
During the recognition, Romo presented Liu with a crystal award shaped like a sail and a pair of Pere David deer, a species of deer that, like the giant panda, is a rare animal whose origins are in China. Liu is expected to raise the animals on his Texas ranch.
Liu surprised the university with a gift of $1 million which will fund an endowed chair in the College of Business.
The gift will complement the $3 million given previously by Liu to the university's College of Business international program. Even before this gift, Liu is the university's largest single donor.
Mrs. John B. Connally (Nellie) received the UTSA Gold Star Award, a recognition presented annually to an individual or organization that has forged extensive partnerships with the university and has supported UTSA's students and faculty in extraordinary ways. The only previous recipient of the Gold Star award is The USSA Foundation, a Charitable Trust.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), former Texas attorney general, Supreme Court justice and Bexar County district judge, introduced Connally and recognized her achievements.
"Mrs. Connally is a very special woman, one whose tireless efforts to support our state's educational institutions are truly inspiring," said Cornyn. "She has served the people of Texas with purpose, grace and determination -- and Texans have been blessed by her efforts."
Romo presented Mrs. Connally with a framed portrait of her and the late governor painted from a photograph taken shortly before Governor Connally's death in 1993. Additionally, she received an eight-inch crystal star etched with the UTSA seal.
The fund-raising gala was hosted by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo, and co-chaired by Kenny Wilson, president of Bank of America, and Jack Guenther, chairman of V.H. McNutt Memorial Foundation.
Also honored during the evening were the university's donor societies, the President's Associates, the Sombrilla Society and the Lone Star Society, as well as individual donors from last year.
In addition to the Liu gift, UTSA received support from individual donors, Bank of America and The Tobin Endowment.

Apomys magnus
Heaney, et al. 2011. Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences, 2: 42. Type Locality: Mt. Banahaw, Hasa-an, Barangay Lalo, Tayabas Municipality, Quezon Province, Luzon Island, Philippines, elevation 1250 m (14d 3'44"N, 121d 31'8"E)
© The Field Museum. Photograph by L Heaney and A Niedzielski.
Order: RODENTIA
Family: Muridae
English common names: Lowland Banahaw apomys, lowland Banahaw forest mouse
Total length: 272-305 mm; tail: 133-154 mm; hind foot: 37-41 mm; ear: 21-23 mm; weight: 92-128 g. Apomys magnus is the largest species of Megapomys, with a tail length typically 96-99% of head and body length. The tail is unpigmented ventrally and dark brown dorsally. Apomys magnus has dorsal fur that is of a moderate length and colored dark brown with dark tips; its ventral fur is medium gray at the base and white at the tips. Its hind foot is the longest of any Megapomys and is broad relative to its length; the dorsal surface of the hind foot has fur that is white or pale cream.Apomys banahao, which overlaps with A. magnus at ca. 1465 m, has longer, softer fur; it is also smaller in virtually respects, has a proportionately shorter tail, and has black hairs on the dorsal surface of the hind feet (rather than white).
Apomys sierrae tends to be smaller, with little overlap in most measurements. It has dorsal fur that is dark brown with rusty reddish tones and ventral fur that is dark gray at the base and pale gray at the tip with an ochraceous wash. Apomys magnus is much larger in all measurements than A. aurorae, with little overlap. Apomys aurorae has dorsal fur that is not as dark and has a yellow tint absent in A. magnus. Apomys magnus also has distinct dark tips on its dorsal fur, a characteristic absent in A. aurorae. Apomys zambalensis has shorter dorsal fur that has a brighter, rusty orange color with barely evident black tips. Ventrally, the fur on A. zambalensis has a paler gray color at the base while tips are white with an ochraceous wash.
Known only from Mt. Banahaw, Quezon Province, Luzon Island (Heaney et al., 2011).
© The Field Museum
Habitat and Ecology:
Currently documented from 765 to 1465 m, in lowland and montane rainforest. Apomys banahao for the most part occurs at higher elevations than A. magnus on Mt. Banahaw, although sympatry occurs at ca. 1465 m (Heaney et al., 2011). They are active at night, feeding on earthworms, other invertebrates, and probably seeds on the forest floor.
© The Field Museum. Illustration by V Simeonovski.
Common in old-growth and regenerating lowland and lower montane forest on Mt. Banahaw, within Mt. Banahaw-San Cristobal National Park and adjacent mixed forest-agricultural areas.
Apomys magnus is likely to be found on Mt. San Cristobal in a similar elevational range as on Mt. Banahaw. We predict the species will not be found in other areas but surveys of peaks in the vicinity—in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, and southern Quezon provinces)—should be conducted.

bland, boring...it doesn't look like an improvement to me. Subaru had it right with the concept, they had no reason to water down this car so much.
Nice body and mostly nice improvements. Although Subie has used a CVT for years, I'm just not thrilled to see one behind the H6. What Subie really needs is a better nav interface.
Subaru knows its target demographic for the Outback - snowbelters and weekend campers. This isn't the WRX...people buy an Outback to slog through five months of winter driving and haul their kayaks to the edge of the water for launching. They'll sell a bazillion of these things.

I went to a herbalist with my wife for her Endo and I left with propolis and some herbs.
I know endo can not be cured by modern medicine, so I have my doubts with propolis tea.
Any validity to this subscription?
I did a google for "+endometriosis +propolis" and came up with a few links you might like to check out.
The most informative link I found on the disease and it's treatments both conventional and non-conventional is this one
This one and others give hope for infertility with endometriosis using propolis
And this is a link to the google search results
My wife has a disease that has pretty much stumped modern medicine. So far bee stings have offered the only imediate pain relief available outside of the emergency room and an herbal tea(from a readily available commercial source) and propolis has allowed her to cut her pain medecines in half.:scratch: I'm not sure why I'm a believer but I am!:thumbsup:
The amazing thing about all the bee products is that they help NORMALIZE the body functions. If one is too fat, they help normalize the weight. If one is too skinny, they help normalize the store of fat (some of which is essential and desirable).
Apiary products (I use all of them!) help regulate everything. Homeostasis is the word describing how our chemistry is constantly working to keep everything balanced between two extremes.
Health is really about energy. Where there is energy, activity, joy and rest, the body will heal and maintain itself beautifully. When distress comes our way, when we wander off into bad habits etc., disease is close by, but the apiary products always help us normalize our lifestyles if we have the determination to do so.
While the 'magic' is not necessarily in the products (as in specific chemicals to address specific conditions of imbalance) there is always a natural balance in Apiary Products that point us in the remedial direction, but it is our change of mindset, our hope, positive attitude and our defeat of the fears, that performs the greatest magic. It is indeed, our own inherent natural bodily functions that do the healing. We all have it! It was born in us! It is not necessary to import it from afar! It does not cost money nor is it scarce.
Anything stronger or more potent than what is found in nature will have a skull and crossbones on the label. These products may be dramatic in their effect, but tend to only perpetuate the lifestyle imbalances we have. The apiary products help us normalise our metabolism without massive swings back and forth across the centre line.
A fully energised body is the aim of our subconscious mind. A body full of energy cannot and will not harbor disease. The frequent use of apiary products will promote good energy production (from the food we eat) and that energy will heal us and keep us well. It matters little which disease, which organ, which symptom we have, a normalised metabolism and a healthy mindset will cure it! All chronic diseases are symptoms of low energy.
The Bee works for me.
Love your insight. Propolis has "cured" my wife and my cold sores.
I want it in gum form.
Gum would be a really interesting thing for propolis but I have never seen any.
I will keep my eyes open.
When mixed with honey, and in small amounts, it almost tastes like gum.
You can 'rub' warm propolis into (say) an equal part of gluten to make a gum. It takes a lot of kneading, but one batch can make a lot of gum. Rub in powdered sugar to make it more palatable if you wish. Spearmint oil gives it flavour too. Probably the more you add to it the more you reduce the specifics of its medicinal properties.
Gluten is usually available at health food stores, but you can also easily make your own, by just making a bit of wheat flour into a dough, then hold it under the water tap while you rub and knead it rinsing all the starch from the dough. Probably one could also just mix the propolis with the whole flour, but I have not tried that one. One would need to consider the consistency of the local propolis and just keep changing the mix to arrive at the desired 'chewyness' of the gum.
I made a batch of this gum back about 1975 when my third child came home from hospital with a staph infection. I rolled the stuff flat as one would make thin pastry, sprinkling it with the sugar to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin. I then cut it with a small circular cutter (say, 3/4 inch) wrapped it in foil and put it in the fridge for future use.
After we had cleaned up the staph infection (which had spread to several other members of the family including me), the remainder of the 'gum' sat there for years. Eventually it disappeared all of a sudden like, and I discovered that my then 4 in number children had taken to chewing it, as we had attempted to prevent them from taking up the typical gum chewing habit. I was glad it was all gone, and didn't make them any more, as I figure one can have too much of something as potent as propolis.
Propolis, lifestyle and Positive Mental Attitude were the only things we used to clean up the staph infections. The girl born in '75 still does not use commercial antibiotics.

Yes, you are right! tothenci!
You got me! LOL, but if every section of that same zentangle
was a different color and/or print.... it would be a crazy patch.
By the way, I just love zentangles too!
and I am so glad that you showed me and all of us about zentangles!
And special thanks for showing todays demo!
WOW - Thanks - I have to try this!
I agree!I wonder too!

This is a great way to use Zentangle. I just heard about it and it looks like fun. I love to doodle and what a better way to do it than by machine. Thank you for sharing! :o

I don't do the zen tangles but find the books great for free motion inspiration for small quilt areas. There is also a method using straight lines in different directions and shapes I used this with children at school doing landscape pictures. I wonder if this was the beginning of tangles?

st: re: browsing a subset of panels in a panel dataset
Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:57:30 -0400
Frederic said
I analyse a panel data set with several observations (time) for all panel
group, which are marked with a panel identifier. I have to select
several panel groups out of
the entire panel dataset on the basis of a binary variable ("binvar") coded
1 when fulfilling a certain criterion. Binvar==1 is mostly the case
for only a single observation per panel group. I would like to be able
to browse the
entire panel for visual inspection, i.e. also the observations in that
panel group for
which binvar==0. The list of panel identifiers with a panel
observation holding binvar==1 is usually fairly long so
browse if binvar=="panel identifier1" | binvar=="panel identifier2" etc.
is too cumbersome.
Up to now I have used
generate "auxiliary_var"=0
sort "panel_identifier" "binvar"
by "panel identifier": replace "auxiliary_var"=1 if "binvar"[_N]==1
browse if "auxiliary_var"==1
I have to do this procedure repeatedly and was wondering if there's a
more elegant way of looking at the entire panel group, such as handing
over the list of panel identifiers to a temporary variable such as a
local macro, say "temp_var" and then type something along the lines of
browse if "panel identifier" is a part of "temp_var"
I think you just need
bysort panel_identifier: g want = sum(binvar)
browse if want

Later, we knocked (so to speak) at the door of a lady. She invited us *in* to her patio and invited us to sit down. The air was thick with the smell of some delicious homemade bread. We commented about it and she said that because they live so far from anywhere they always make their own bread, in their clay oven. Que rico!!! So we continue conversing with her and explaining to her the Require brochure. Everyonce in a while she would get up to check on it. At the end of the conversation, she got up to check on the bread again. She came back with a napkin and bread filled with pineapple (like a turnover) and fruity "frescos" (drinks). It was one of the most incredible things I have ever tasted. So we were on our way hiking down the mountain path to the next house, pineapple bread in hand. We were joking around because we had just eaten lunch and were so full, but I said, it doesnt matter. For certain things it is worth it to be over full. And that was one of them!
The day flew by, as we continued along and eventually ended up in a very small pueblo. We didnt know where we would be staying at night, it was one of those days like, we'll see where we end up and go from there. In the town was a community hall, and a school, so the brothers went off to inquire if we could rent the hall to set our tents up in
We got to the other hall, cleaned the floor and bathrooms, and set up camp. Everyone was good - especially Ana - she had it all... her mattress, sheets, pillows, etc. all set up on the floor. Only thing? She forgot her tent!!! So she just said, its ok, and set up camp. (I have pictures). We slept really well that night and set off on day 2.
Saturday was great, we preached alot in that larger town, and then went out on the road again. We met several Americans that have moved out there for the peace and beauty of the mountains. It was an encouraging day as several more friends from other congregations met up with us and we all went together. We came home tired but happy because it was a fun, productive weekend...
I'll be sure to post photos when I can!

News report: LED ZEPPELIN TEARS UP LOS ANGELES
It didn't get much attention, because the group paid for everything, but Led Zeppelin was in rare destructive form when they were here recently for some concerts.
Things got off to a bad start when lead guitarist Jimmy Page sprained a finger when he lurched against a fence at San Diego Airport. That apparently threw the boys into a grand funk.
Not too long after the group got settled in a ninth floor suite at the Continental Hyatt House, a table came sailing out their window. Explanation for the mis-Led table was, the boys were irritated at being told not to toss liquor glasses into an open Lincoln convertible parked on the street below.
Then it was off to a theater to attend a party for Jo Jo Gunne. There members of the group were accused of smashing up the rest rooms and defacing paintings in the lobby.
Back to their hotel they went to spread a four-foot cake around the swimming pool. It happened to be Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's 25th birthday. When George Harrison and wife Patti dropped by to help celebrate. Bonham threw both of them, fully clothed, into the swimming pool. (Newswire, June 1973)

Great article
Man, that was such a great concert story. I am sooo very jealous that I never got to see the Best Band in the World play with Bonzo. I have seen Page and Plant several times (I was born in 75). Thanks for making my night. I just listened to the whole show today. So good.

The apartment was super nice, just like the picture. Richard was a great host and let us leave the luggage in the apartment before the official check in. The city was really beatiful and the apartment location is perfect for an unforgettable Lisbon experience.
Great apartment in a great area, full of Lisbon life! Lovely park close with a great view, Barro Alto just a small walk away. The apartment had everything you need and even though it was top floor still had plenty of space. No problems at all and Richard was very communicative and welcoming too.
Nice appartement in the center of the city. Welcoming and helpfull host. We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon.
very friendly and exerted host. apartement was very nice and comfortable. could be a little bit more clean, but it was ok. had a really great time in lisbon. think we'll come back!
We really enjoyed our stay in Richards apartment. It is relly close to the city center and the main attractions.
The flat was very clean and nice. We can only recommend it.
thanks richard, for your help.
your flat was perfect and very confortable.
we spent lovely days.
Richard has a very nice flat in a great neighborhood.
We really enjoyed the proximity with the city center. There are lots
of public transportations in the vicinity of the apartment making it
easy to explore the Lisbon, its suburbs and even more remote locations
by foot.
Our stay could have been perfect, if it wasn't for the very
uncomfortable double bed. We had some terrible nights for our backs,
which made resting properly between journeys visiting the city hard.
We enjoyed staying in Richards cosy appartment. Very complete, nice kitchen and bathroom, good beds. Very well situated, walking distance to the historic centre. Beware of low doorways in the appartment, tall people might hurt their head! Friendly and reliable host. Thanks again for having us.
The property was fantastic, with beautiful decor and furniture. There was plenty of space for 3-4 people, and the bedrooms were particularly comfortable! It was lovely to sit outside on the terrace to enjoy breakfast in the mornings.
Richard was a great host and helpfully explained everything we needed to know about our stay. There are some great restaurants just a 5 minute walk away, and the number 28 tram stops just down the road, which takes you into the main centre of Lisbon in a few minutes.
Die Wohnung war für ihre Größe gut ausgebaut und nett eingerichtet. Tatsächlich ist sie einfach wirklich klein und zu dritt, wie wir es waren, eher für wenige Tage geeignet. Das Doppelbett quietscht wirklich laut, so dass man zu zweit relativ schlecht darauf schläft da man schnell wach wird wenn sich der andere umdreht. Außerdem war es nicht sehr sauber und die Kanalisation im Bad roch sehr unangenehm. Allerdings ist sie ja auch recht preisgünstig angegeben und man hat die Möglichkeit für sich zu sein und eine eigene Küche zu haben. Von daher war sie OK bis Gut.

I live near the Mojave Desert and the nectar flow was very early this year and now has dwindled. I just got three packages of bees last week. Would you feed and for how long? This season appears to be a dry one.
I live near the Mojave Desert and the nectar flow was very early this year and now has dwindled. I just got three packages of bees last week. Would you feed and for how long? This season appears to be a dry one.
I would feed the packages, and keep feeding until they have a brood nest mostly drawn out. Packages have no reserves, they only have to have a few bad foraging days in a row to start starving. They also have so much work to do brooding rear and comb building that it doesn't make sense to force them to forage at this point. Its a lot cheaper to feed them than to possibly have to buy new packages. Once you have an established hive you can do whatever fits your philosophy but packages installed during a dearth are a completely artificial situation and need an artificial solution to survive. And even if they are able to survive at this point in your area you will be giving them a head start.
If you go to restaurants, just grab about 20 packages of sugar from their condiment tray each trip and before you know it, you'll have enough sugar to feed the bees. Be advised you'll probably need to go 3 times a day for about a month.
Just kidding.
As far as how long to feed them, you might consider feeding them until they have 2 hive bodies drawn out (brood chamber) but depending on what kind of fall you have for a honey flow, you may need to feed them again later in the year to make sure they have enough stores to make it through the winter.
I have a similar question. We received our bees early May in Kansas, been feeding each of 3 colonies a quart a day, it is always gone when I go out to check on them. Is this reasonable? Is a qt a day per hive enough? I was told they will stop taking it when they find forage. How long might this take? Won't they become dependent on my supply and not find their own? Just wondering how long I'll have to do this, it is a LOT of sugar! I know they are working hard, I see a lot of new comb and a LOT of bees. Hopefully I'm just ensuring they will thrive.
Thanx everyone.
Good luck with your packages.
It will take 8 weeks for the packages to replace the daily death losses and then have their populations move forward. Plan on feeding at least 50 pounds of sugar/hive.
You might consider putting pollen substitute on the hives.
Do you have any California buckwheat in bloom or is it dried up?
Try getting a location near dairy alfalfa fields.
My websitehttp://bees4u.com/
Whether you're in Kansas, California, or wherever, seems to me the first task is to get the new hive thru the first winter. Which means you need a strong colony, all frames drawn out, honey and pollen stored. Say you're going to overwinter in two deeps, 10 frames each... if you do not feed, they may not get all that work done. If you do feed, feed until they get all that work done. And it may take until fall to accomplish that. But as mentioned, consider the cost of the sugar vs cost of a new package next spring when this one starves. You want that hive so heavy going into winter that you can feel the weight when you lift one side. Heavy! If it isn't, feed. And even then, you might have to feed next spring. More hives die in March of starvation than you'd imagine.
In 2011 I went through 1200 pounds of sugar feeding 32 hives to deal with my spring splits, and getting ready for winter last fall. This spring, because of my management last year, I only had to feed 150 pounds for 34 colonies/splits, to keep from starving or get built up.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
Thanx Mr. G. That helps alot. I notice one of the hives was small still. Not sure why but Ill return the feed to them.
Thanx for the info. I'll need to take a trip to Bakersfield for more sugar. I built top feeders for three of my hives.
