Reviews for this host's other properties
Very pleasant stay. Chiado is located near and close to restaurants for dining out. It is the center and this complicates the parking, but parking nearby.
Estancia muy agradable. Esta situado cerca de Chiado, y muy cerca de restaurantes para salir a cenar. Es el centro y esto complica el aparcamiento, pero hay parking cercano.
Very nice appartment on the fourth floor. Perfect location in Bairro Alto close to many bars and restaurants, but in a quiet street. Nice and friendly host.
Quite Lisbon as a panorama
What makes this weekend drying, is clearly the large windows overlooking the city and the Tagus including bridge. An incredibly beautiful view, as the apartment is located directly below the Castelos on a slope.
Cited in the description balcony is rather a larger outlet, perhaps 1 x 1 m tall. The apartment is otherwise ok, nothing is lacking. The agency worked very well. Very Accurate should accept that some things are a bit rickety and simply needed a screwdriver. Around the corner is a Supermercado, which is open every day, a few pubs and bars are also right next door. To recommend Definitely.
Ganz Lissabon als Panorama
Was diese Wochnung ausmacht, ist eindeutig das große Fenster mit Blick auf die Stadt und den Tejo inklusive Brücke. Ein unglaublich schöner Blick, da die Wohnung direkt unterhalb des Castelos am Hang liegt.
Der in der Beschreibung genannte Balkon ist doch eher ein größerer Austritt, vielleicht 1 x 1 m groß. Die Wohnung ansonsten ist ok, es mangelt an nichts. Die Vermittlung klappte sehr gut. Sehr Akkurate sollten sich damit abfinden, dass manches etwas klapprig ist und einfach mal einen Schraubendreher bräuchte. Um die Ecke ist ein Supermercado, der täglich geöffnet ist, ein paar Kneipen und Bars sind ebenfalls gleich nebenan. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Wonderful place to stay - great central location - supermarket around the corner - we love to come back
Wundervolle Unterkunft - super zentral gelegen - Supermarkt um die Ecke - wir kommen gerne wieder
Very warm welcome. Apartment was clean, just a pity that the bathroom door did not close properly. There were few options for storing clothes. Location in the old part of Lisbon was fine. Many restaurants nearby.
Zeer gastvrij ontvangen. Appartement was schoon, alleen jammer dat de deur van de badkamer niet goed dicht kon. Ook waren er weinig mogelijkheden om kleren op te bergen. Locatie midden in het oude gedeelte van Lissabon was prima. Veel restaurants in de buurt.
Very nice apartment in a very sunny place.
There is a private terrace with two lounge chairs for sunbathing.
There is a kitchen with ceramic heater (not induction therefore especially children's).
The owner of the house was very nice, waited for us despite our late arrival and also gave us some useful information.
A few meters away there is also a communal terrace that looks over the city and the show is really impressive.
I recommend it highly to couples and those who have enough gradicelli children (ages 10 and up) because the house is located at the top of the city (lead scenic!) But the roads are a bit 'steep.
And 'the authentic Lisbon with its tram and its narrow streets!
Appartamento molto bello in una posizione molto panoramica e soleggiata.
C'è un terrazzo privato con due sdraio per prendere il sole.
C'è una cucina con piastre a resistenza (non induzione quindi attenzione ai bambini!).
La proprietaria di casa è stata molto gentile, ci ha aspettato nonostante il nostro ritardo all'arrivo e ci ha dato anche alcune utili informazioni.
A pochi metri di distanza c'è anche una terrazza pubblica che guarda su tutta la città e lo spettacolo è davvero suggestivo.
Lo consiglio molto a coppie e a chi abbia figli abbastanza gradicelli (dai 10 anni in su) perchè la casa si trova in alto alla città (vantaggio panoramico!!) ma le strade sono un po' ripide.
E' l'autentica Lisbona con i suoi tram e le sue stradine!!
The apartment was very nice and modern and from the small balcony we had a great view. There was even a washing machine and iron if you want to travel with little luggage. Also pays if you have a mild case of high drags the four floors. Unfortunately, the neighbor is feeding in the house across the pigeons constantly ... so purely put chairs if you do not want to constantly wipe pigeon droppings.
The location was great right in the Alfama district with restaurants, small shops and an enoteca next door. When we come again to Lisbon we book again with Margarida. Obrigada!
Die Wohnung war sehr schön und modern ausgestattet und vom kleinen Balkon hatten wir eine tolle Aussicht. Es gab sogar eine Waschmaschine und Bügeleisen wenn man mit kleinem Gepäck reisen will. Macht sich auch bezahlt wenn man einen leichten Koffer die vier Stockwerke hochschleppt. Leider füttert die Nachbarin im Haus gegenüber ständig die Tauben...deswegen Stühle reinstellen wenn man nicht ständig Taubenkot wegwischen will.
Die Lage war toll mitten in der Alfama mit Restaurants, kleinen Läden und einer Enoteca direkt nebenan. Wenn wir mal wieder nach Lissabon kommen buchen wir wieder bei Margarida. Obrigada!
Very charming apartment in a good and quiet location, everything exactly as described. We liked awarded the family of 4, so we would not hesitate to book again.
Sehr charmante Wohnung an guter und ruhiger Lage, alles genau so wie beschrieben. Hat uns als Familie mit 4 Personen ausgezeichnet gefallen, weshalb wir sie jederzeit wieder buchen würden.
The stay at the apartment was perfect for cleanliness and good standing of this.
As we arrived we explain the points of interest near to the apartment.
The apartment was very central, about 3 minutes walk from one of the most beautiful squares in the city, and 1 minute from the gazebo, one of the best areas of Lisbon.
At the apartment was not missing a single detail, bright, youthful atmosphere, and very modern.
It is in a quiet area with a good atmosphere.
In our opinion, both the apartment and the care provided were excellent.
Will definitely repeat.
La estancia en el apartamento fue perfecta por la limpieza y buena situación de este.
Según llegamos nos explico los lugares de interés cercanos al apartamento.
El apartamento se encontraba muy céntrico , a unos 3 minutos a pie de una de las plazas mas bonitas de la ciudad, y a 1 minuto del mirador, en una de las mejores zonas de Lisboa.
A el apartamento no le faltaba ni un detalle, mucha luz, ambiente juvenil, y muy moderno.
Se encuentra en una zona tranquila, con un buen ambiente.
En nuestra opinión, tanto el apartamento como la atención recibida fueron excelentes.
Sin duda repetiremos.
We were greeted very nicely at the handover of the key. They gave us some tips on Lisbon and to Esssen not far from our accommodation a few good restaurants. We enjoyed unserern stay in this beautiful apartment, ideal for 2 persons, quiet neighborhood. Lisbon, worth a visit, very nice city and the people very loving.

First I need to thank everyone here for all of the ideas and inspiration.
I am going to be using a Yugo trunnion, bolt and carrier. Then a .308 barrel, FAL mags, FAL gas piston, FAL gas block and custom gas tube. I think I will end up removing the FAL sight bits from the gas block and using either an AK or AR front sight post out on the end of the barrel. Hinged receiver cover with a G3 rear sight.
Tonight I was able to turn down the donner FAL barrel. Barrel is pretty toasty so I am just using it for a proof of concept for the build. Later I will get a new heavy barrel from Brownels and then make up my own gas block.
Here is the barrel pressed into the trunnion. Front furniture in place and the mag in place. Gives a good idea of what the final product will look like.
The bolt and extractor have been dremelled.
I am using FAL mags because I believe they will be able to be used without any mod to the mags. Just narrow the AK mag release. This way they can be used for this and FALs.
Unfortunately with the way I work its going to be at least 4 months before I get to the point where I can test fire :)

text: i just posted my new queen cells i saw today for the first time. my question is this; how can you tell by the look of the queen cell how old it is? TFBM on his videos tells you a queen is about to hatch and 5 seconds later she pops out or he will tell you it will come out in a day an hour or 3 days later? these queen cells i did not find on the 23rd but they could have been 2 or 3 days old then. i do not want to lose any of them but if i move them too early i may damage them?

Today my niece's 5 year old son got quite a burn from the muffler of a motorcycle. It happened so fast that the skin was already immediately peeling off. Not sure if it had stuck to the muffler a bit or not.
My sister applied ice and I said we need honey for that burn! We went into the house for Dad's honey and bandages. They gave him a little Tylenol and I applied a honey bandage. He had been complaining of pain. A little while later, thanks to Tylenol and honey, he said it didn't hurt any more. His family is concerned about him being able to sleep tonight. I said I think he'll sleep fine.
The honey is supposed to help with pain, prevent infection and speed healing. We'll be watching it.
Oh, and earlier today, I cut a finger and applied honey and bandaid to it.
Yesterday, I was visiting a neighbor 4 houses down. While we were visiting outdoors, another lady came by walking her dog. My neighbor asked her how her leg was doing. The lady said she was on her second antibiotic and it was not helping. I asked if she had an open wound and she said yes, there was getting to be a hole. She was tested for MRSA and did not have that, but an infection that would not heal. I told her to get some raw honey and apply it and a dressing. Told her to check on the internet about that if she wanted to not take my word for that. She seemed very interested in the honey and said she would let us know how she does.
Honey that is in contact with body fluids (sores, burns, etc.) will react and produce small (safe and good) amounts of hydrogen peroxide which inhibits infection. Honey is also antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal. Wounds treated with honey heal faster and scarring is reduced. Honey nourishes skin cells.
I will update when I find out more on these cases.

My New American Life (Hardcover)
Lula, a twenty-six-year-old Albanian woman living surreptitiously in New York City on an expiring tourist visa, hopes to make a better life for herself in America. When she lands a job as caretaker to Zeke, a rebellious high school senior in suburban New Jersey, it seems that the security, comfort, and happiness of the American dream may finally be within reach. Her new boss, Mister Stanley, an idealistic college professor turned Wall Street executive, assumes that Lula is a destitute refugee of the Balkan wars. He enlists his childhood friend Don Settebello, a hotshot lawyer who prides himself on defending political underdogs, to straighten out Lula's legal situation. In true American fashion, everyone gets what he wants and feels good about it.
But things take a more sinister turn when Lula's Albanian "brothers" show up in a brand-new black Lexus SUV. Hoodie, Leather Jacket, and the Cute One remind her that all Albanians are family, but what they ask of her is no small favor. Lula's new American life suddenly becomes more complicated as she struggles to find her footing as a stranger in a strange new land. Is it possible that her new American life is not so different from her old Albanian one?
Set in the aftermath of 9/11, My New American Life offers a vivid, darkly humorous, bitingly real portrait of a particular moment in history, when a nation's dreams and ideals gave way to a culture of cynicism, lies, and fear. Beneath its high comic surface, the novel is a more serious consideration of immigration, of what it was like to live through the Bush-Cheney years, and of what it means to be an American.
Praise For…
"An illuminating and ultimately upbeat look at America's immigrant situation that all fiction readers will enjoy."
-Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
"Prose is dazzling in her sixteenth book of spiky fiction, a fast-flowing, bittersweet, brilliantly satirical immigrant story that subtly embodies the cultural complexity and political horrors of the Balkans and Bush-Cheney America."
-Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
"Utterly charming. Savvy about the shady practices of both US immigration authorities and immigrants themselves... Entertaining, light yet not trivial, a joy to read."
-Lionel Shriver
"Prose's characters in MY NEW AMERICAN LIFE are complex and brilliantly drawn (culturally distinct but without the usual clichés)."
-Simon Van Booy, Bomb Magazine
"Nothing is beyond the artistic reach of Francine Prose"
-Shelf Awareness
"A tangy mixture of satire and sentiment. . . . Ms. Prose uses her heroine's outside status to make a lot of funny . . . observations about the cosseted life of well-to-do Americans."
-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Prose . . . is, as always, sharply intelligent."
"Prose succeeds by transforming anxiety into compassion—it's a little lever that gets tripped when we truly imagine what another person feels."
-Los Angeles Times
"There has been a lot written about the Bush and Cheney days, but rarely from such an amusing perspective . . . at once honest, complicated, sexy, funny and—ultimately—uplifting."
"A superb novel . . . a wickedly entertaining read. . . . Prose is on top of her game . . . the fluidity of the prose surpassing, I think, her work in Blue Angel."
-The Millions
"Prose spins the many straws of American culture into a golden tale, shimmering with hilarious, if blistering, satire."
-Helen Simonson, Washington Post
"My New American Life is—happily—vintage Prose: cheerfully pessimistic, smart, funny, with characters unnervingly spot-on in their stages of outrage, denial, malaise or disillusionment."
-Miami Herald
"A fast-moving novel . . . [that] brings together cultural satire, mystery, a psychosexual thriller, and political outrage. . . . Exceptionally entertaining, fun to read in its sentences, incidents, scenes."
-Michael Dirda, New York Review of Books
"She's a perfect observer of American life in the opening decade of the 21st century. . . . Wry . . . witty . . . a book that brims with smart surprises."
-Ron Carlson, New York Times Book Review
"Prose is in her sweet spot as a nimble chronicler of contemporary culture."
-Entertainment Weekly
"In My New American Life, Francine Prose cracks open that old chestnut about the immigrant reinvention experience and injects, yes, new life into it."
-USA Today
"Fun and funny,...a satire of immigration and its discontents..."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Prose's real aim is to characterize and caricature modern American life, mostly in a gentle way that will leave readers smarter than they were before..."
-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A mixed bag of releases featured nothing for the kids and a few surprises for mature viewers who want something with an edge to it.
CHAPPIE – The ads made this look like a cute robot movie but it is much better than that. This is a serious look at what happens when a robot is given free will . The setting is a repressed South Africa in the not too distant future. While there are some humorous scenes they are intertwined with stark portraits of cruelty and suffering. Good stuff but not always a fun time.
RUN ALL NIGHT – Liam Neeson and Ed Harris star in this gritty crime drama. Harris is a mob boss and Neeson is his loyal hit man, The Gravedigger. When a deal with Albanian drug dealers goes south the men are pitted against each other . There is no backing down either as the sons of both men complicate matters. Good and realistic material that makes the "Taken" series look like a joyride.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS – Vince Vaughn stars as a small business owner who journeys to Europe to desperately save his struggling enterprise. Once there everything goes wrong in a "Hangover' kind of way . Crude humor ensues as he becomes mixed up with a sex Fetish Event and a Global Economic Summit. A few laughs but not in the league of the crude comedies it strives to emulate.
NEWSROOM Season 3 -Aaron Sorkin closes out his HBO series about 24 hour news channels with six tightly plotted episodes. Some of his best writing too as he skewers how Television covers issues and dumbs them down for an audience they assume are morons. Jeff Daniels is marvelous in the lead role of a star anchor. Unfortunately season 2 got so bogged down in relationship drama that many missed this six hour finale that ends the show and closes out the storylines. Worth a watch.

I check the forums on my mobile sometimes. I have noticed that the text color and the background color are EXACTLY THE SAME shade of tan. Making it impossible to read on my phone.
Small adjustment please? Thanks for reading.
Re: Forums Mobile Text Color
Yeah I don't like using the full version on my phone. Too much onscreen and I only check on mobile to read, rarely post. Soo this would be something I would really appreiciate getting looked into.
Maybe if I kiss some butt? Hey Just--Tank! You guys are doing a great job! I wish the best to you and yours over the holiday break. I'm really sad that on mobile forums I can't even read your page Send help!
Re: Forums Mobile Text Color[ Edited ]
ya I noticed this too. But I don't mind using the Full version, it looks much better on my phone at least (galaxy s 3), its compact but not cluttered and text is the right size in the right places, somehow. I just need it to default to Full, but I haven't tried just checking the desktop site box in my browser settings yet tho.

Holland Area Beekeepers is sponsoring a queen rearing course by Dr. Larry Connor. The Southeast Michigan Beekeepers association is sponsoring the same course on the East side of MI somewhere.
The course was created as a way to develop local queens by and for local beekeepers. The course will be fairly intensive, hands-on training in queen rearing with the clear objective of each student's becoming competent in the basics of raising queens and mating them in mating nucs. Students are expected to participate in all sessions or to provide a substitute if necessary.
The course follows the seasonal buildup and starts in late may and runs into late June, and concentrates on both traditional and new techniques. The course runs 24 hours in 6 sessions. A certificate of completion will be given to those students who successfully produce, in the opinion of the instructor, well-reared queens that lay a normal worker brood pattern. The course will be held only if we have 20 students.
Dates and times:
Session 1: Standard Queen Handling and Evaluation Skills
Friday, May 16, 4-8 pm
Session 2: Queen Cell Starting – Traditional and Non-traditional
Friday, May 23, 4-8 pm
Session 3: Queen Cell Finishing and Drone Production
Saturday, May 24, 10am-12
Session 4: Queen Cell Caging, Nucleus production and Celling Nucs
Monday, June 2, 4-8pm
Session 5: New Queen Evaluation, Nuc Evaluation
*Saturday, June 21, 9am – 1
Session 6: Bee Breeding and Selection Techniques
*Saturday, June 21, 2-5pm
*Note Session 5&6 are on the same day
Registration fee is $150 to cover the cost of bees, equipment, materials, and instructor. 20 people need to be signed up for the class to proceed, checks won't be cashed until the course is full.
To register, drop me a PM and I will give you the phone number and email to contact. (I wasn't authorized to publish this on the web so didn't want to publish that)

The tragic story is that the NY State Trooper was chasing a racing bike through rural and village type areas at over 100MPH in a Tahoe.The charges are 2nd degree manslaughter and reckless homocide. The biker claims he didn't know he was being chased. That is disputed.Should SUVs be allowed to enter hi-speed chases? Is there some culpability on the part of the NYS police policy?This man could have been alive if there was a better understanding of SUV limitation. Scofflaws should not lead to Trooper deaths.Given the circumstances, I think a manslaughter charge is reasonable. The biker could have killed pedestrians or toher motorists and has partial responsibility for the Trooper's death.http://www.news10now.com/content/all_news/?ArID=85543&SecID=83
Both charges are reasonable, but the person most at fault is the cop for chasing and making a bad situation worse. I am not a fan of high speed chases.
First, I'm sorry to hear about the Trooper.Second, guys on the motorcycles are crazy.And third, A Tahoe used for HIGH SPEED CHASE????? WTF? Only if you were chasing a Tractor.
It's certainly not a murder charge as the the biker didn't intentionally or willfully kill the officer, nor could it be first degree manslaughter since the officer was ultimately in command of his own actions. The charge as stated seems reasonable to me, since the biker did create a dangerous situation for both himself and the deceased trooper.
I agree with Bloke regarding the charges.I also greatly question the latest fad on police departments buying big trucks as patrol vehicles. I'm sure a few might be appropriate depending on the climate, but for a suburban police department in a moderate climate in which there are, at most, three snow days a year, trucks make no sense at all. They're thirsty, expensive to maintain, and have no agility at all. I believe the community that equipped the late officer with a useless hunk of iron as a police vehicle must share some part of the blame.
-------------------------------------------Bad decisions make good stories.
Should it be? No probably not. But I think they can get him on 2nd degree--no concern for human life. Even though the cop showed no concern for human life driving a Tahoe through a populated area at 100mph. Same standards sort of for reckless homicide. The cop should have backed off. He should have known the limits of his vehicle.
I'm sorry, but I have to say that the cop is at fault for has own death. I'm not a fan of high speed chases and if the camera was on in the troopers SUV that he/she could've radio the bike in and meet the motorcyclist at his home, and took to court like they did after the fact!!! Cause it is obvious that the trooper never caught him. The motorcyclist should've been charged with wreckless driving.
Too me, the cop had no concern for human life. They should follow other states that back away from high speed chases and just let the chopper follow him around while they set up the trap. It's too bad he died, but he probably should have been fired for chasing anyone, especialy a biker, in a SUV. The cop caused his own death in this case and I'm certain it will be ruled that way in the end. Next time, he should do like most cops do, dive in front of the biker, and start shooting. That way, he can "say" it was self defense.
-----------"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane." -Martin Luther King, Jr.Lois: "Peter! Don't scare the kids about a nuclear holocaust." Peter: "Haha, you said nuclear, it's nucular you dummy, the s is silent."
I think the trooper is responsible for his own death, I am sorry to say. It is impossible to keep up with racing bike in an interceptor, the trooper should have known about the limitations of his vehicle. For those of you who want to charge the motorcyclist with some form of crime, think about it this way. Would the police officer be charged with a crime if the chase resulted in the biker's death, after all, the death would have been the direct result of a high speed chase? I think not, even if the police officer caused the fatal accident.
On the flip side, had the officer been given proper equipment, he probably would not have piled it up. Giving a police officer what amounts to a delivery van as a law enforcement vehicle is the high end of stupid.
-------------------------------------------Bad decisions make good stories.
I also thought of this; If the officer had followed the perp over Niagara Falls in a barrel and not survived, would it still be the perp's fault that he died?
Well, if the perp's barrel was in front of the officer heading towards him, he could at least claimed self defense.I find cops that use this tactic highly offensive. On the local news a couple was committing prescription fraud at a pharmacy. The employees at the pharmacy called the police. An under cover cop ran in front of the suspects as they were leaving the parking lot and fired at them, hitting the guy in the chest. The bullet exited on his side and struck his female companion. All this because of prescription fraud! I think cops should be given little clubs and pepper spray, guns are way too much for them to handle.

Police Chases in my opinion are a bad idea. Yes, the bad guys should be caught, but police officers don't have some magical driving talent that we don't have. Flying across suburban roads and neighborhoods puts other's lives in danger no matter who is behind the wheel. Even if the cop and suspect are driving Formula 1 cars, it still can't stop in time for when that little kid on a bike crosses in front of them.Maybe instead of chasing, police departments should work together to set up massive roadblocks closing in the radius of where the suspect is to catch them.
A tohoe is not a pursuit vehicle, stick with a car.
I've got VTEC, do you?
My two cents. The officer chasing the criminal was driving a vehicle not designed for pursuits. There should have been a point when he called off the pursuit in the name of safety, the suspect and his own. I also wonder what were the conditions around the original offense that started the chase. From personal experience, if I see red and blue flashing in my mirrors I pull over. If it's me, I'm stupid, PERIOD!!!! If not, they go by. It seems that anymore if you get lit up, the only choce you make is run, and it does not matter what happens when you do because if you get the right lawyer, you don't have to pay.

I ran into some of the younger school children and their parents, who shily said hello and waved. I felt privileged to be able to access what to me, as an outsider, felt like a private part of their social and religious lives. As the rain began to descend upon us once again we made our way to see the head monk and some of the younger monks in the temple. D introduced me, and I was kindly allowed to take some photos of them. One of the youngest boys, of roughly 10 years of age, almost mechanically posed for a picture by standing up straight and looking into my lens; apparently a lot of people came to take his photo, but he complained he never got to see one. I will print mine out and give them to him as soon as I can. I'd also like to bake the kids a cake, it seems parents and family bring them sweets and food, so I thought that could be my thank you. Before leaving I sat in front of the head monk and as he tied some white cotton thread around my right wrist he chanted some words in Pali, a blessing it seems. I was very honoured and on my way home, I couldn't help but have a little spring in my step as I walked along the railway lines, having been part of such a beautiful and humbling experience that for me, went far beyond religion.
November 4th was the celebration of the death day of the school's founder, marked by no lessons, chicken curry and ice cream for the kids, a Buddhist ceremony, and finally an opportunity for me to wear a sari. The kids get one free meal a day at school (rice and curry), usually consisting of rice and vegetables and sometimes a little bit of fish. Chicken and ice cream create great excitement (not least on my part). Having bought what I thought would be a plain dark purple sari, I discover with horror once the little top is made for me that infact I look like what I imagine a cheap copy of Kingfisher Airlines airline crew would look like
Do not be fooled by the apparent lightness of the cotton, once you are wearing an underskirt and have been wrapped in 6mt of fabric, any potential ventilation is gone. As usual i was the only one sweating, as the kids sat there in their prim pressed white uniforms.

In fairness, I have never used any other brand on a handgun, and for many years now, the only scopes on my rifles are Leupold. What sold me on Leupold for handguns was witnessing a catastrophic cylinder failure on a Smith and Wesson 629. My opinion is that this was the result of a round being fired behind a squib load without checking for bore obstructions first. The top three chambers literally exploded and the top strap was broke at the rear of the frame and folded upward until the front bell of the scope was in contact with the barrel, causing a significant distortion of the bell. The Leupold was still functional after this extreme abuse! I have seen scopes from almost every lesser manufacturer fail under normal use, without abuse. Leupold may not be cheap, but it is better to cry one when you pay for it and never have to worry about it again.
As for a particular model, that depends more on you and how you intend to use the gun. I prefer a lower power scope, as high magnification exaggerates any unsteadiness in your hold. Small movements look HUGE with high magnification.

We dropped them off, then kept going to Okotoks, but we didn't have time to check into our hotel yet, we had to go straight to the school to play by 2.30 or something. I can't remember how many games we had that first day, I think it was about 3 or 4. Again we did alright, but not overly great.
Waking up at 9.00 was much easier than 7.00 as usual. We went and had breakfast, then packed our stuff as we waited for Mr. Midford to arrive with a bus that he'd driven from Cold Lake that morning! He was a bit angry when he arrived, but I guess he had woken up at like 6.00am to drive 6 hours to pick up 15 noisy and wild kids. Mr. Publow drove back, so that made him a little better. We arrived home at about 7.00pm Sunday night, and we had school the next day!

A man accused of vandalizing several Sulphur churches last month was arraigned Monday in 14th Judicial District Court.
A trial date of June 17 was set for Daniel Wayne Duplechin, 35, who is accused of doing damage at four Sulphur churches.
The District Attorney's office filed a bill of information Jan. 17, charging
Duplechin with four counts of simple burglary of a religious building.
Duplechin is being held at Calcasieu Correctional Center on $400,000 bond.
Simple burglary of a religious building carries a minimum sentence of two years without probation, parole or suspension, according to Holly Carter, district attorney spokeswoman.
Sulphur police said Duplechin broke into Our Lady of Prompt Succor and destroyed several religious statues with a sledgehammer.
Authorities said Duplechin also busted out glass at Henning Memorial United Methodist and Sulphur First Baptist churches.
He was arrested at Our Lady of LaSalette, where he also destroyed statues, police said.

Dare to Enter the Hidden World of Japan's Notorious Underground Organization
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (February 23, 2006) - SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced the critically-acclaimed title Yakuza (Japanese title: Ryu Ga Gotoku), a thrilling action-adventure game created by respected producer Toshihiro Nagoshi and award-winning novelist Seishu Hase. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Yakuza takes players deep into the world of Japan's infamous underground organization.
In a society where respect and honor holds great importance, there is an even higher regard for these traits within the one organization that is most feared by all: the Yakuza. Kiryu Kazuma – a former rising star in the Yakuza who is rebuilding his life after serving a 10-year prison term for murder – suddenly finds himself caught in a spiraling underworld plot involving a mysterious girl known as Haruka and a missing $100 million. Kazuma must use his fists and his wits to stay alive as he unravels the complex web of truth and lies that surrounds the notorious Yakuza.
"Yakuza is a game like none other as it delves into one of the most mysterious and iconic aspects of Japanese culture," says Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Players will have the opportunity to take on the world's most notorious and sophisticated underground organizations as they embark on a series of dangerous missions set in the gritty and seedy underbelly of Tokyo."
Yakuza delivers a perfect balance of action and adventure with its immersive storyline and stylish fighting mechanics created specifically for the game. Players can string together attack combinations to take out multiple enemies in sidewalk showdowns, while defending the Yakuza territory and reputation by picking up weapons to crush opponents. Kazuma can also "educate" delinquent debtors through visceral shakedowns by grabbing and smashing them against walls and tables, then delivering final skull-shattering blows when the Heat Gauge is maximized. With a customizable status gauge, players can increase strength, stamina, and skills through combat.
Freely explore Tokyo's hidden urban nightlife from sprawling neon-lit streets and nightclubs to actual shops licensed specifically to deliver the authenticity of this enticing metropolis. Players can strategically increase Kazuma's skills and attributes by accumulating weapons and items, engaging in numerous side missions, interrogating and bribing informants, gambling, and even hitting baseballs in a batting cage. Yakuza is an all-encompassing, immersive chronicle that captures the full scope of the Yakuza by authentically recreating Tokyo's underground nightlife, while unveiling the mystery surrounding the Yakuza's traditional honor, respect, and loyalty system.
Yakuza for the PlayStation 2 is slated to ship in Summer 2006.

Waking Up on the Waterfront in SF
Hotel Griffon • San Francisco, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday
- Complimentary Parking
The Destination
Michelin-rated restaurants, trendsetting bars, Victorian architecture, clean beaches, cutting-edge art—it's no mystery why San Francisco draws nearly 16 million visitors annually.
The Digs
Hotel Griffon, named Best Boutique Hotel by San Francisco magazine, offers yet another reason to get away to the City by the Bay. Whether you call San Francisco home or it's on your bucket list, you'll find this certified green hotel, which looks east over the Bay and west into the Financial District, to be a great home base from which to experience the city. Each of 62 guest rooms is appointed with plush mattresses and deluxe bedding, a flat-screen TV, plush bathrobes, eco-friendly bath products, and more.
The Diversions
A short walk north on the Embarcadero will lead you to the stately Ferry Building, home to a three times-weekly farmers' market and a bunch of restaurants and shops (try Hog Island Oyster Company for a dozen Kumamotos and a glass of Champagne).
A handful of museums and galleries are also close by, like SFMOMA, the Jewish Contemporary Museum, or The San Francisco Railway Museum on Steuart Street. And when it's time for dinner, 40-year-old Perry's is attached to the hotel and serves upscale home-style dishes—think meat loaf and deconstructed chicken pot pie—in a relaxed yet urbane setting.
And 2013 should prove an eventful year in San Francisco. The city plays host to three games of the World Baseball Classic in late March, and on March 5 the much-anticipated opening ceremony for The Bay Lights project will set the Bay Bridge aglow with 25,000 LED lights.
"Among San Francisco's small boutique hotels, this is a top contender. Ideally situated on the historic waterfront ... the Griffon is impeccably outfitted with a soothing design sensibility."-- Frommer's

Well you do have the option of moving back into the USA at any time :-D :-D
Just my two cents.
Well you do have the option of moving back into the USA at any time :-D :-D
yes, it's not to late you know...
Family ties. Moving isn't an option....at least not yet.
1 place I would never move too... Well, there, and Canada, NY State and Massachusetts....
California is one of those places it's great to see............in your rear view mirror. 8)
I want to visit Holly-Weird one day - that's about it.
I have family in the P.R.K. and ONE day is just about enough :-D :-D
I went to Ft. Ord a long, long time ago. Short vacation (recreation included) courtesy of the U.S.Army. Wasn't necessarily the most fun I've had on a vacation!
Well then, Y'all just stay out and we'll have fun without you....lol
I went to California once. The first thing I saw was some drunk in broad daylight pissing on a building just off the main drag of a town we were driving through. Those Californians really impressed me.
The name of this thread says it all. Somebody from this site please kidnap me, my son, my girlfriend, and little bro and take us to a cool gun owner state like Texas.
As a Californian it always warms my heart to read these types of threads. If only everyone felt that way I could afford a much bigger house a little closer to the beach.
As far as gun laws go, Yes, California sucks. As much as I love my guns I don;t make a living shooting and they don't control my life.
I actually like to do things like go to the beach, take my child to Disneyland, shop, ect.
While I have had the chance to visit a number of other states and enjoyed many of them, I can't find any I'd rather live in.
I am spoiled by the near perfect weather year round, the Mexican food (I love it), and the lifestyle. As a non smoker There isn't a better place to be than California. I'm sure I could take the money I have in my savings account and go buy a very nice place in another state, but I just don't want to.
Yes, it makes me sad to think about how Illegals have become such a factor in my life, both good and bad, some of the California culture makes it harder to raise a kind loving non materialistic child these days and a few other things.
Go ahead and bash my state, but I won;t judge your state because I saw one person pee on a wall in Texas or Georgia.
Hey I was born in PRC and it sucks!!! Will never go back and even moved from a job that required me to go to LA..
Loosing my rights can't be justified by going to the beach or disneyland...
Born and raised in California...and there's nowhere I'd rather live.
I don't like what Sacramento does, which is why I'm active in the political community to stop the bleeding and eventually reverse the momentum.
I've had some people tell me it's too late...but I don't see any reason to stop fighting.
If they ever actually manage to get something through the legislature that calls for disarming, then I'll leave...but for the time being, I stay and fight.
But I will say that bashing the state because "I saw someone pee on a wall" is crap.
I've been to all 50 states, and there isn't another place in the country with the combination of weather, variety of things to do, see, and eat.
If you want to bash the state for it's 2nd amendment violations, I'll stand up with you and agree...don't bash it for the same shit you see everywhere else.
I agree with ya dood.
It's frustrating being a gun enthusiast out here, but I have to many reasons to stay. For starters in my trade, the only place I can make more money is NYC.....not what I'd call a step up Everywhere else is usually a big cut for me.
The weather an geography is what I can't find matched in any other state. My first passion ,above guns, is motorcycles. It's what I do. The diversity of dramatic places to go from the coast, to alpine tundra,to exploring old mines in Death Valley are all within a few hours ride for me. Show me any other state with these oppurtunities available YEAR ROUND. I love posting pics on moto forums of a January ride in the Sierras with temps in the high 60's. Makes other folks real jealous while thier ride is in the garage for the winter. Seems the only other states where guys go year round are extremely flat with the onl curve for miles a freeway interhange.
It's hard for outsiders to understand as all they see is the news on what the San Francisco wackos are up to. What out of staters don't realize is that there are plenty of rural/ mountain communities where it's still normal to have a rifle in the back of the pick up truck. Really once you get out of the populated cities, folks have more traditional values....and that's where I feel at home.
There's to much good stuff here to leave, an I'm with ya, I'll fight politically to keep them from taking that away.

James Gleick, a native New Yorker, graduated from Harvard College in 1976. He served in several capacities at the New York Times before taking a leave of absence to research a book, which became Chaos: Making a New Science (Viking Penguin, 1987). Returning to the Times as a science reporter, he focused for two years on esoteric areas of mathematics and physics. After the death of the physicist Richard Feynman, he left the Times again to begin work on a biography, Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (Pantheon, 1992). Chaos and Genius were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in the United States and have been widely translated abroad.
In 1989-90 Gleick was the McGraw Distinguished Lecturer at Princeton University. He collaborated with the photographer Eliot Porter on Nature's Chaos (Viking Penguin, 1990) and with developers at Autodesk on Chaos: The Software. In 1993, when the Internet was a glimmer on the horizon, he founded The Pipeline, a New York City service that pioneered the first full-featured graphical user interface for Internet access from Windows and Macintosh computers.
For some years Gleick wrote a column called "Fast Forward," focusing on technology and the future, for the New York Times Magazine. His views on the changing technologies of information animated his next books: Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything, an exploration of our increasingly strained and fractured relationship with time; and What Just Happened, a collection of his essays chronicling the emergence of cyberspace.
Gleick was the editor of Best American Science Writing 2000 and is active on the council of the Authors Guild. His writing has appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and other magazines. He lives with his wife, the journalist and author Cynthia Crossen, and their dog, Astro, in the Hudson Valley of New York. His new book is Isaac Newton. Learn more about his work at www.around.com.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure?I just finished (for pleasure) a new novel by "Stanley Bing" (pseudonym) called You Look Nice Today: a strange and quite hilarious view of that essential yet seemingly antiliterary phenomenon, the modern corporation. Then I moved on to State of the Art, science fiction by the brilliant Iain M. Banks, who creates a different kind of universe. I was on an airplane, in point of fact, and this affects one's choice of reading.
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)? Bed, night, sometimes morning. Various couches, any random time of afternoon.
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why? I'll try to answer this with the caveat that I have no permanent/final favorite writers, just an always rotating list. I strongly favor fiction in my own nonwork reading. As of today (but these have some staying power), I'll list John Updike, Ursula K. Le Guin and Jane Smiley. Why? Because they're beautiful writers at the level of phrases and sentences, and because there seems to be no limit to their ability to imagine worlds and universes and times like ours and altogether different from ours and yet partaking of ours.
Or something like that.
A certain attitude or perspective of Le Guin's was inside my head as I was writing Isaac Newton. I'm not going to try to explain that further.
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.This is even more impossible than the favorite-writers question. "Best" books? I suppose at the moment I should say that the Principia is, almost by definition, one of the "best" books I've ever read—although then I'd have to say that, while I have read it, I haven't exactly "read" it. Still, as I've said, I like fiction. Sometimes I think Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is the best book I've ever read (I just reread it after 25 years). Jack Maggs, by Peter Carey. The Information, by Martin Amis. Sorry, this is getting listy.
I'll offer my favorites of the three authors above: Gertrude and Claudius (Updike), The Dispossessed (Le Guin), The Greenlanders (Smiley).
Having listed them, maybe now I should try to figure out what they have in common. Nothing to do with science, although The Dispossessed is in a sense a biography of a physicist. But there is something. Maybe it's something about connecting the past, the present, and the future—by means of imagination, and fully persuasively.
What book has influenced you most? Explain how. Can't do it. No one book. Books are so different, really, one from the other. At a certain time I was amazed and, sure, influenced by Douglas Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach. But my books aren't anything like that. I'm constantly being influenced by what I read, but not in the sense that I find models that I can imitate or emulate. I don't know what books, if any, mine are like.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.More Nabokov: Pnin.Big Trouble, by my late friend J. Anthony Lukas.Norman Rush's new novel, Mortals.
What book recommendations do you have for young readers?A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle (maybe this belongs above, in the list of books that have influenced me).
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?I have ambivalent feelings about the categorizing upon which this question depends. In some sense, my books are supposed to be "science books" for "nonscientists"—but I don't like to think this way. Is a nonscientist anyone who doesn't practice science for a living?
Science is not a small part of knowledge, as far as I'm concerned; almost everything that matters has to do with science in some way.
Sorry, I seem to have been evasive in this whole exercise, but I think that's a result of trying to be honest.

text: ON inspection yesterday, my 2 deep hive had queen cells on bottom frames with burr comb. Removed it, but one cell hatched and queen got away. Later that day, we had a small swarm. I got the swarm and put it in an extra deep I had with frames. What do I do next? Do I feed? Do I take frames from my original hive and swop with the new hive box? Not sure if I still have a queen in my original hive. I'm guessing two scenarios: My original hive will swarm again, if I can catch it do I add to the other small swarm? What else should I do? If it doesn't swarm again, what do I do with the new hive? Also, my original hive is two deep with capped brood and honey and larva. On the deeps I have a queen excluder and a medium honey super that has been on for about 3-4 weeks. The bees go in there and hang out, but they have done nothing for those 3-4 weeks, no comb building on any of the frames. What is up with that? What should I do there? Much thanks to anyone who can email me with some suggestions or knowledge!

SHOPWORN - Offbeat King's Indian
Lesser Known Tries to Counter this Most Popular of DefencesProduct Code: SWB0167EM
Publisher: Everyman Chess
Author: Panczyk & Ilczuk
Year of Publication: 2004
Pages: 176
Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
Book DescriptionThe King's Indian is one of the most exciting and complex defences that black can employ against the queen's pawn opening. The main lines of the King's Indian are very sharp and tactical but they are also incredibly theoretical in nature it can be a full time job simply keeping up with the latest developments and fashion. So it is not surprising that many playing white choose to look elsewhere for something to counter this popular opening. In Offbeat King's Indian distinguished openings expert Krzysztof Panczyk studies unusual and less theoretical systems for white, ones that are tricky and are likely to throw the King's Indian player off his or her stride early on in the game. Variations investigated include lines with an early Bd3, ones with Nge2,l and ones involving a swift Bg5. By studying this new book, white players can arm themselves with a while new weaponry of lines against the King's Indian, while those playing Black can look closely for the recommended antidotes.

text: Thanks. I worked on double flips this week and landed all of them perfectly fine. They seem to aggrevate my hip a bit more than the edge jumps, but I've just been jumping a little "heavy" on the particular element. My coach wants to get back to the double lutz this weekend, which I haven't done for MONTHS. It's not a hard jump for me, but I need to get the timing back so I don't pop. I got my new skates in the hopes to actually doing double axels without killing my skates....I now have the KT-3 Sp-Teri's, which are for triple jumps, so hopefully they hold up well I really hope the hip heals soon. It's so frustrating to have to hold back on skating. My hip flexor injury is on my left leg....on the inside part of my leg. I hurt it mid death drop in April. I've heard the opposite about stretching the flexor. I've read and also heard it's good to stretch since it helps promote faster healing. I also notice I skate better if I stretch a lot, then get on the ice for about a half hour and just warm up my body before actually jumping or spinning. I need to see my physical therapist and actually stick to a plan....I just hope this actually heals. Blah.

Today we took a three hour tour-via boat to Muskeget island where there is a giant Grey Seal Colony (some 3500 seals!). The captain was very knowledgeable about the seals and conservation efforts. Someday I would like to go back in the winter, he said they tend to have their best trips then in January and February and when they get close to the beach you can see the seal pups being born. There are something like 250 of them born each year, but they dont all make it, they have about a 50% mortality rate. Still, that must be a pretty amazing thing to see.

Now, you guys reel off some lucky W's and you are Gods Gift to Football? Wow, Giants fans are reaching Texans fans level of ****iness and stupidity. FAST![/quote]Titans are still in the league? How about you do some research to figure out how good our team is and why they are playing much better! Most NYG Fans are optimistically positive, but are not over the top, or think we are the best atm.[/quote] You have an easy division. The Redskins and Eagles are irrelevant and the Cowboys always melt down. We, on the otherhand, had to deal with the best Quarterback ever for a decade.[/quote]LOL seriously? You guys are almost as bad as the WEST divisions. The only time we have lost to you is when there was no reason to get up and play the game vs your titans. Look at how we played seattle, and the skins. Games that have no meaning we don't come to play. How about you meet us when you are actually worthy of talking about, then see how you play us. Even Ryan Kerrigan today said the last game the skins played us, it felt as if the Giants were not up for the game. So why waste our energy on garbage? Enjoy the HISTORICAL TITANS next year.[/quote]I want to see the Giants play, at the warzone and face our D. Coach Munch would blitz all game and Finnegan, Morgz and C-Mac would kick the ish out of Eli and give him a good ole fashion country beatdown. He can ask his brother Peyton, about how good our D is. We injured him further.[/quote] It's a good thing the colts apparently don't need peyton to beat your team though. lol. Why are you so angry towards us anyway?[/quote]Giants fans kept coming on our MB, and talking ish, so I'm returning the favor I used to think Giants fans had class and that they were the exact opposite of idiot Jaguars fans and Texans fans but boy was I wrong.[/quote] There is no way even one Giant fan would waste one second on the Titans MB, why bother, your team insignificant.[/quote]</P>
Yeah really, why would any Giants fan go to the Titans page now? We didn't even play them this year. </P>

After Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Fulham on Monday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of those comments.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@Faceofahustler - Coquelin is a solid all-round player.
@ObumOsigwe - Coquelin was my MotM yesterday. The guy is a beast. You will hardly notice he was being played out of position.
@tomsheehan14 - Arsenal must be the most unlucky team in the Premier League!
@avefrater - I love how Koscielny and Arteta are quietly growing into important, solid squad players without much of a fuss.
@DanielRolo06 - Koscielny has actually scored more goals than Neymar, Aguero, Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Persie & Messi put together this year.
@Liiam97 - Unlucky Arsenal, great first half but a bit of a let-down in the second. Got to keep our heads up.
@NLFG - I think it's safe to say that playing full-back for Arsenal at the moment is cursed.
@JonAndrews84 - Djourou suspended… time to bring back Remi Garde.
@jason040404 - Laurent Koscielny, struggling at his first season. But now? WORLD CLASS!
@Aaronfoster1 - We needed another goal to kill the game! Coquelin and Ramsey looked very impressive in the first half.
