QR Code Quest: a Library Scavenger Hunt
(UPDATE: This is the original post about this mobile media digital discovery lesson but I've also updated it recently in Part Deux! Pls. check it out! :-)
I remixed this awesome scavenger hunt originally created by Joyce Valenza and added a QR Code Twist!
I re-worked some of the questions for a lesson with my adorable ESOL kids (we have 35 right now in our ESOL program & one cute be-freckled girl just came yesterday & speaks no English at all but she LOVED scanning the codes when I handed her my Droid Fascinate!) The rest of the kids have varying degrees of English proficiency but still will benefit from a few visual clues. So the scavenger hunt questions are intentionally simply & clearly worded combined with pics I created as QR Code Hints.
You can also use this lesson for special needs classes, Library Media orientation, or even re-mix the questions, QR Codes, & hints for just about ANY subject area!
To create the hints I used a combination of Photoshop, Flickr, bit.ly and my favourite QR Code generator, Kaywa.
First I created the Hint. For my kids who are just learning English I thought it would be better to combine the hint with pictures. So I combined Creative Commons images with clearly worded (simple) hints - but I also wanted to add in some key words that we've been working on like genre, fiction, nonfiction and title.
Multi-step clues & questions were important, too. To give a little insight on how this lesson was created I'll go through questions 6-8 which all had to do with Italian cookery.
In Question 6. I wanted them to find two of our Italian cookbooks in the 641 section of Nonfiction. I found online pics of the exact two cookbooks we have in our collection, combined them with a sporty red & white checkered cloth jpeg, a pizza, and the hint. Putting this all together with photoshop, I saved this as a .jpeg & uploaded it to Flickr.
Taking the Flickr .jpeg URL of this pic I pasted it into Bit.ly to get a shorter URL (that makes an easier to scan or read & prettier QR code - more on that below in the Tech Tip section!) Now with the shorter URL it was time to open another tab on my browser and go to my favourite QR Code generator, Kaywa which makes terrific codes in S, M, L, & XL sizes of any URL, text message, phone number or SMS!
Back to the Italian cookbooks - I taped the laminated QR code hint with the pics of the cookbooks really close to the 641 shelf & they had a great time finding it by both number & sight!
Question 7. Then I wanted the kids to locate and use our big unabridged dictionary on the swively stand & while we were there point out the other dictionaries (including all the foreign language ones we have!) I chose Risotto for them to look up because it was a word covered in both of my Italian cookbooks, it's not obvious like Pizza, and I thought some of my kids would recognize a risotto & translate it to "arroz con camarones." The QR code with the visual hint was taped on the globe next to the dictionary. The kids identified it right away!
Question 8. Now using that new word, I asked them to find a Risotto recipe in their Italian cookbook index and write down the pages of that recipe. I loved that this lesson combined good old books, traditional reference materials, and our PAC catalog with spanking brand new QR Code techie fun!
Want the whole lesson?
Visit my Daring Steam-Powered Wiki to download the MS Word Worksheet in both .doc and .pdf format with the QR codes or visit my QR Code Quest Flickr Gallery for all the .jpegs and pics of the kids scanning & learning!
The codes that the kids scan are NOT the ones on the side of the worksheet next to the questions...those are just for purty! The QR Codes are on pages 2-4 - I also created a test scan page for fun & to get them used to focusing and grabbing the QR Code. During the class we scanned the codes using our iPod Touch Gen4 and my cell phone as our other iPod Touch was loaned out. With larger classes I ask the kids to bring in their own smart phones or iPod touches & ask them to download a free barcode scanner first. I really like the i-nigma FREE barcode scanner available on both the Apple & Droid markets.
Tech Tips!
1. Why do you need to use a URL shortener to make a QR Code? See the example above. Same URL - with bit.ly the code is clear & easy to read and without it's more complex. The more data you have in your code the more complex the 2D barcode. Oh and when you're making a QR code message with text you can't use a QR code shortener - I tried! LOL
2. Not only is Bit.ly great for shortening URL's they keep stats on the links you share! All you have to do is to click on Info Page+ and you can see how many people followed your link & when. Another COOL tech tip! Add a .qr on the end of any Bit.ly URL and you will get a QR code! Now these aren't big enough for me - that's why I use Kaywa which offers XL codes which are better for posting around the library....but still it's neat!
BEST Presents in the World! Thank you notes from my adorable ESOL kids! I'm keeping these for a rainy day!!!!
Here's the slidedeck from my recent MSET preso!

Could you be any more awesome? Oy, it'd make my head explode! So, you mentioned that you let one girl use your phone for the scavenger hunt, but what about the other students? What did they use?ReplyDelete
This is great, you're so creative it's awesome.ReplyDelete
Those kids are lucky, I bet they had a blast.
Check out our platform, if you see any use, I'd love to donate some space for you to do a fun project with it.
Aww thank you, Natalie! Yeah, sorry - I didn't make that clear & just fixed it - We have 2 iPod Touch Gen 4's in the Library but one was loaned out that day so I had the kids use my Droid Fascinate to make up the diff. Right now we really can't afford more than 2 iPod touches - but depending on the size of the group we just have them share - it's all good!ReplyDelete
Awesome - thanks! :)ReplyDelete
What super ideas, Gwyneth! I'm going to ponder how I can adapt this for a high school orientation scavenger hunt in the fall. I've been using bit.ly for my QR codes, and love how easy it is, but am going to check out Kaywa now, too.ReplyDelete
Jane, I always love hearing from you & getting your feedback, thank you dear! Would love to see what you come up with - don't forget to share it with me!ReplyDelete
Natalie, I also forgot to mention that with bigger classes you can send home a permission slip with FREE barcode scanner apps for kids to bring in their own iPod touches or smart phones. Kids love to hear "let's take 5 min & go to your lockers & get your cell phones!" or "bring in those cell phones tomorrow we're gonna use them!"
Riel, thanks for your comment! but I'm not selling anything! I try & give as much as I can away (except for my speaker's fee! LOL - I do charge for that!) Thanks for visiting.
Nice review of URL shortner in QR codes. They are also called dynamic qr codes. I have been using http://www.bwscan.com to generate free dynamic qr codes with free scan analytics!ReplyDelete
I wanted to do this for our library scavenger hunt next year! this is awesome! :)ReplyDelete
Very cool. My yearbook staff and I added QR codes to our yearbook this year. We used Yearbook Unlimited's QR code service because longevity of content was our primary concern, given the nature of a yearbook. I wrote about what my staff and I experienced in the process here:ReplyDelete
Just learned something new from you about bit.ly. Thanks :)ReplyDelete
- Laura GonzalezFebruary 9, 2012 at 12:14 PM
What do you mean when you say "tap" a book? I'm still learning how to use QR codes.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment, Laura!ReplyDelete
Students "tap the book" with their finger...just to physically re-enforce that they found it! :-) Nuttin technical about that! LOL Cheers!
Fab! Just started creating inquiry buckets on specific subjects and have been playing around with QR codes on the bins to connect print and digital resources. I will definitely be trying your idea out! Thanks for sharing : )ReplyDeleteReplies
Super thanks for the comment April! Inquiry buckets? Do tell! Did you blog about this or put it on a wiki? I want to see!Delete
You are an amazing teacher! I love how you are using the QR codes for the scavenger hunt! I created a QR code from a flickr jpg - but when scanned it did not have just the nice big pic like your - it had my flickr account with all thumbnails - I followed your directions to a 't' from question #6 - what do you think I am doing wrong?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Peggy! Thanks for your comment. OK, as mentioned above you gotta grab the Flickr URL. To do that click on the size image you want & choose View Image or Copy Image Location - THAT is the direct link to the big image! That's what you take to Bit.ly, or Goo.gl to make your QR Code! YAY!Delete
Ms. Jones:ReplyDelete
I would like to use this lesson during one of my interviews for school librarian. In the footer may I add permission to use by Gwyneth Jones-Dairing Librarian.Replies
Certainly! I'm honored! Did you see the later post about this subject? Google: Daring Librarian QR Code Part Deux - all my stuff is Creative Commons Share Alike, but with Attribution. So, thank you and go for it! Good luck!Delete

The neighbourhood has become a favourite amongst the Parisians. Being a pedestrian only area, it's the perfect location for open air cafés and restaurants. There are dozens of trendy restaurants along the rue Montorgueil and its side streets.
If you enjoy cooking, you'll be in paradise. The rue Montorgueil is known for its fresh produce, butcher shops, fish mongers, cheese shops and wineries. A second open air market is set up along the rue Montmartre on weekends. It's a pleasure just to walk down the street and enjoy the colours, scents and excitement in the air.
Getting around Paris is a breeze with the Châtelet - Les Halles metro station nearby. There are 5 metro lines and 3 RER lines to the suburbs including the two major airports.
House rulesNo smoking

Reviews of this property
Handing over of apartments has worked quite well, ext. was clean and in very good condition.
Everything in its place, any time :-)
Übergabe des Apartements hat ganz gut geklappt, App. war sauber und in sehr gutem Zustand.
Alles in bester Ordnung, jederzeit wieder :-)
I went to Paris to spent four days with my sister and I found a very dirty flat. Anyway the neighborhood was very nice. We had to change the sheets because they had stains. Under the table there were some dirty socks. Wifi was available only for first 24 hours. I had to contact with the owner five times and the only answer was "how can I solve the problem?, in most places of Paris there was free wifi."
I wouldn't recommend this flat because it's was a unpleasant experience with it.
A small apartment, though. A pleasure !!!
Un pequeńo apartamento muy bien ubicado. Un placer!!!
The studio in the Rue Greneta is very originel and we stayed there for a very nice holiday week. Within a radius of 200 meters all necessary shops can be reached; next to normal supermarkets very nice bakeries, cheese and fruit shops and a very appealing Italian tort food store and several wine shops. Also nice restaurants and cafes are available in the immediate vicinity. The studio is very central. Many attractions are within walking distance. Metro and bus station are 5 minutes away.
Das Studio in der Rue Greneta ist sehr originel und wir haben dort eine sehr schöne Urlaubswoche verbracht. Im Umkreis von 200 Metern sind alle notwendigen Geschäfte zu erreichen; neben normalen Supermärkten sehr schöne Bäckereien, Käse- und Obstgeschäfte und ein sehr ansprechender italienischer Deliktessenladen sowie mehrere Weingeschäfte. Auch hübsche Restaurants und Cafes sind in nächster Umgebung vorhanden. Das Studio liegt sehr zentral. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Metro- und Busstation sind keine 5 Minuten entfernt.
The small but very cozy apartment is ideal for spending a few days in Paris. Romantic and well structured has everything you need and also located in a neighborhood full of shops and live typical of the place.
It has two metro stations very close.
I recommend the place for a couple!
L'appartamento piccolo ma molto accogliente è l'ideale per passare qualche giorno a Parigi. Romantico e ben strutturato ha tutto ciò che serve ed inoltre si trova in un quartiere vivo e ricco di negozi tipici del luogo.
Ha due fermate metro molto vicine.
Consiglio il luogo ad una coppia!
Everything TipTop, gladly again. Very friendly and reliable supplier!
Alles TipTop, gerne wieder. Sehr freundliche und zuverlässige Anbieter!
We were from 01.05 - 05.04.2014 in the apartment. The location is really great! No 100 meters and you are right on a busy street with many restaurants and the grocery store. The apartment is really central and you can get either the Metro "Les Halles" or "Sentier", neither of which is 5 minutes away, almost everywhere. The apartment is a little small, but it asks for a morning breakfast, and a restful sleep enough Platz.Sollten we again go to Paris, we will definitely try to come back under in this apartment.
Wir waren vom 01.05 - 04.05.2014 in dem Apartement. Die Lage ist wirklich super! Keine 100 Meter und man ist direkt auf einer belebten Strasse mit vielen Restaurants bis hin zum Einkaufsladen. Das Apartment ist wirklich sehr zentral und man kommt entweder mit der Metro "Les Halles" oder "Sentier", die beide keine 5 Minuten entfernt sind, fast überall hin. Das Apartment ist zwar etwas klein, dennoch bittet es für ein morgendliches Frühstück und einen erholsamen Schlaf genügend Platz.Sollten wir noch einmal nach Paris fahren werden wir auf jeden Fall versuchen wieder in diese Apartement unterzukommen.
Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and privacy of this little apartment. The environment was wonderful - the leafy courtyard and the street life in Montorgueil. It was also well equipped for everyday living. My only minor complaint was with the chairs which I found to be a bit uncomfortable.
Beautiful studio in a very nice neighborhood: The apartment is located just off the rue Montorgueil pedestrian shopping and really nice. The area is very well served, several trains are nearby. The studio is perfect: well-equipped, well-lit, well equipped and very clean. It is not very big but it is perfect for one or two people. It is also nice to have a cabinet in which storage. Internet did not work the first few days of my stay and the host is responsible personally contact the operator several times until everything is settled. The problem is thus solved very quickly. She also accompanied a taxi on the day of my departure I was very busy. It is very nice to rent a studio to a person so kind and caring.
Très beau studio dans un quartier très sympa : l'appartement se trouve juste à côté de la rue Montorgueil, piétonnière, commerçante et vraiment très agréable. Le quartier est de plus très bien desservi, plusieurs métros sont situés à proximité.
Le studio est parfait : bien aménagé, bien éclairé, bien équipé et très propre. Il n'est pas très grand mais il convient parfaitement pour une ou deux personnes. Il est aussi très agréable d'avoir une armoire dans laquelle ranger ses affaires.
Internet ne fonctionnait pas les premiers jours de mon séjour et l'hôte s'est chargée personnellement de contacter l'opérateur plusieurs fois jusqu'à ce que tout soit arrangé. Le problème s'est ainsi réglé très vite. Elle m'a aussi accompagnée à une station de taxi le jour de mon départ où j'étais très chargée. Il est très agréable de louer un studio à une personne si gentille et attentionnée.
L'appartamento di John è situato proprio nella zona di Parigi in cui volevamo andare, ed è inoltre facilmente raggiungibile anche con i mezzi pubblici. Da questo punto di vista sarebbe stato perfetto, se la descrizione fosse stata più precisa: invece di "monolocale" dovrebbe essere presentato come "microlocale", e dovrebbe essere precisato che il letto è su un soppalco e che per arrivarci bisogna salire una scala a pioli. Inoltre, tutti i piatti e gli accessori di cucina sono tenuti all'aperto ed esposti alla polvere. Per il resto non manca nulla, se non un adeguamento del prezzo alla realtà dell'abitazione.

This story illustrates perfectly why there's no such thing as a simple solution. This city has spent $50,000 over at least five years to resolve this one issue. Feel free to groan along in empathy, as I did when I heard it at the International Erosion Control Association's annual conference.
Sometime in the 1980s, an open channel is dug behind a subdivision. Homeowners agree to maintain it, but the developer neglected to install gates in the fence that separates their backyards from the channel. But that's just as well, because the city approved a 10-foot channel-bottom design with 3:1 slopes: too steep for safe mowing.
Time passes. Weeds and trees grow. Residents complain.
Concrete pavers are installed. This limits growth to weeds but increases runoff velocity so much that stormwater begins sculpting the channel downstream. Ponds form. Mosquitoes proliferate. Residents complain.
A concrete channel is built, by hand, using wheelbarrows to transport tools and materials. There are no construction documents per se, just a channel 6 inches deep from side to side with no curb and riprap. Velocity increases some more. After a couple of years, fencing downstream teeters at the precipice of failing slopes. Residents complain.
Enter our hero, intrepid stormwater manager Howard Redfearn. After piecing all this together and assessing internal resources — public works regularly regrades channels, but has no experience specifying and installing erosion-control measures — Redfearn decides this is a job for someone who does.
Bids for a 200-linear-foot remediation are solicited and reviewed. One, for $30,000, involves a polymer-mat riprap substitute. The other, a 100% coconut-fiber matrix turf mat, is $10,000.
The choice is obvious. Riprap's removed, voids filled, slopes regraded and compacted, topsoil added, blanket and seed installed.
Now it's August in Texas. The seeds are thirsty and water trucks can't reach the area. Our hero devises an ingenious solution: tap a soaker hose with a timer on it into the residential water line, and subtract the amount used for irrigation from the homeowner's water bill.
Time passes. Homeowners stop complaining that their accounts weren't credited. The plants thrive. Fences again stand upright. No downstream complaints. Everybody's happy.
The mowing contractor shows up as scheduled. Despite explicit instructions to the contrary, crews scalp the planting.
Remember the last time something like this happened to you? Share your story the next time someone asks for an informational interview to see what a career in public works is like. They should know exactly what they're in for.

What do the top contenders need to work on in preparation of their LP or FD skates at the Olys?
What do the top contenders need to work on in preparation of their LP or FD skates at the Olys?
Answering honestly - I haven't got a clue!!
So many skaters were ready and primed to peak exactly right for worlds and for some reason it went wrong.
Yuna and evan both did exceptionally well. Evan will likely be working on the quad to get it in his programs - i suspect only the LP.
Carolina will need some serious time with a sports psychologist this summer to help her overcome not only the worlds performance but start dealing with any residual issues from the last Olympics.
Brian needs to get himself a coach fast and start working on two programs that won't change mid season that he practices and practices til he's fed up of doing them and then practices some more. He needs to get all his jumps out and landed and maximise all of those jumping passes.
I'm going to do this from the Canadian perspective...
Patrick Chan needs to work on getting a quad in his programs. I have no doubt that he is capable of doing a quad in practice, but it's another thing working it into a 4.5 minute program. Vaughn could work on his presentation and Jeremy could work on his speed and consistency.
Joannie needs a triple-triple, imo. I know she can do it as I have seen her do beautiful combos in warm-up! I think she can do this as she definitely has a new confident attitiude and it shows! Cynthia can compete with the best when she controls her nerves. I think that's what she needs to improve on the most.
D/D need to work on their presentation I think. I would like to see them skate to something a little more upbeat with a quicker tempo. This could brighten them up a bit and add some energy to their programs. Otherwise, they have the goods.
Since I know nothing about dance, I won't comment!
Since there is a time limit (less than a year away), I would suggest:
Mao - Get a better routine. I am sure TT knows what to do now and stay away from waltzes.
Kim - It would be nice to see turned out knees and pointed toes. The speed is super, otherwise a 3A may be necessary.
Rochette - A little more of: 'drawing me into the program'.
Flatt (if she makes it) - 3x3s solid and be more commanding iin presentation
Chan - just be more careful. Everything is there, don't fret it.
Joubert - You have the reputation; just get on with it.
Daisuke - If healthy, then pour it on. Include a quad.
US Men - Whoever goes - A quad would be nice.
McL/Bru - More finesse, cleaner sbs spins and jumps;
Denney/Barrett - Speed is not a problem. More super tricks are needed
to Everyone: If you do not get on the Podium or you did not get Gold, learn from it. It's just another 4 years of work on "What You Do For Love".
Ant's right - Caro is in dire need of a sports psychologist. So is Tomas, who hasn't won anything all season and who can't seem to get through a program without popping jumps.
Brian Joubert needs to sort out his coaching and choreo situation and to learn how to maximize points. He also needs a good LP - he hasn't won an LP in international competition since 2007 Euros. He will apprently be keeping his SP; if so, he needs to change the opening of that program .
Chan needs to find younger music that he can better relate to. He's currently skating well to the music he has, but he's not actually interpreting it. Does that make sense?
Dai needs to get back to training without overdoing it.
Nobu needs to learn to count.
D/W need B/A to retire. They won't get the marks so long as they're the second American team.
Aliona and Robin need to do whatever Ingo tells them to do, because it's clearly working. Volosozhar/Morozov must find a way to stay with Steuer for the same reason.
Laura Lepisto needs to get the triples she does have consistent, especially in combination.
I liked Mao's choice of music, the choreography and the costume. It's a pity she was not on the podium. Artistically she is much better than last year IMO.
I'd like to see a true Lutz.
YUNA - This year she was just great! IMO if she repeats what she had done at Worlds ...
I would like to see a 3A from her, or maybe better a 3Loop.
Actually I like her a lot artistically speaking. I'd like to see a 3/3 from her. Maybe in the SP. But she doesn't necessary need it. One of my fav skaters.JOANNIE - A little more of: 'drawing me into the program'.
FLATT - IMO she is trying to mimick Caroline Zhang baby ballerina style. Not working for her. Some improvements at Worlds, but still leaving me cold.
PATRICK - Honestly, I don't like his style. I hope he will make change my idea. Maybe different music. A skater that impressed me with Rachmaninoff was the great Kwan. Unfortunately he is nowhere near her in interpretation. IMHO
JOUBERT - Different music please!! Just show me something different from techno and rock.
DAISUKE - I hope he will come with interesting programs as he has done last year. And I really hope he will be healthy and with a Quad
EVAN - continue the good work his has done this year with a very elegant program. It would be good if he includes a Quad.

yu-na needs nothing
Mao needs to get a coach that willl be there for her everyday. She also needs to work on her 3/3. preferably bring back the second one.
Evan-I don't know what his plans concerning the quad are. If his foot continious to bother him and this makes doing the quad more difficult he will have to abort plan A and stick to plan B (being clean) which worked out pretty well in LA.
Virtue and Moir just have to be healthy.
Patrick Chan needs to keep working on the triple axel. I don't think he should waste time with a quad.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not a fan of everything Brian does. (See: 1492, the first costume ). He needs to change the opening bit and the outfit, and also to call me regarding his LP music because my choice will be better than anything Tarasova could come up with.
One has to give Joubert his due.
He has longevity in skating international competitions
He is a powerful jumper
He has been seen executing rhythm in galas
He has a very good positioned camel (better than most guys)
He is a handsome dude with a dancer's body
He is trained in part by arguably, the best coach in today's skating
He needs to use simple costumes
He needs to relax
He should win the 2010 Olympics
Great thread!
Yu Na- her positions in the spirals and the layback need a lot of work. I can't believe Brian has not worked on improving her positions.
Mao : Find a full time coach. She just looked lost this year.
Joannie: She should work on getting the 3/3 consistent. She still needs to work on the upper body stiffness. I would like to see some better costumes from her.
Flatt: She needs more interesting choreography and a consistent 3/3. She needs a great choice of music for the Olympic year. Her team is moving in the right direction. I like the improvements they made in terms of costume changes and make - up. But I feel like Rachael gets a little ignored skating with all those guys. It seems like her team really didn't pay attention to her until after Nationals.
Czisny: I feel like she is still a contender to make the team. She needs to find ways to earn points outside of the jumps. She needs to work more on choreography going in and out of the jumps she can do. She also needs to make her footwork more difficult. She needs to keep trying to find ways to relax in competition. She needs to experiment with relaxing techniques at each competition she goes to untll she finds something tht works..
Caroline: Another contender to make the team. She of couse needs to spend her summr working with a jump specialist. Spend the summer working on your technique and speed. I also would like to see some more interesting music choices for the Olympic year.
Joe. I agree, I want Joubert to win this. I really feel he deserves it. I just hope he can surround himself with a good team, and good choregraphy, and finally perform up to his potential. (Finally!)
I think the reason the likes of Plushy and Chan are bad mouthing him is that they know this is Joubert's to lose.
I really don't want Plushenko coming and taking it from Joubert. The idea of Plushenko sitting out for four years and then getting it bugs me.
JOANNIE: Put the 3t/3t back in the LP. You used to do it flawlessly in 2005. If you want to do a series with a 3s in it, why not make it a 3f/3s? And keep the confidence going - you were a superstar this year when you finally started to know that you belonged with the top!
PATRICK: You can do all the elements perfectly. Dont think about it, just do.
TOMAS: Same as Patrick.
BRIAN: No pelvic thrusting programs. Take a page from your exhibitions book and do something softer - you can be a beautiful and surprisingly graceful skater. Help make people think you deserve the PCS you get by doing a program that showcases them!
MAO: Yes you can do a 3a, but if you can't do a 3lz and focus all your energy on the 3a, you will be in the same boat as this worlds.
DUHAMEL/BUNTIN: Keep the excitement and speed and hugeness, but try to find a program that suits your styles - Craig is more graceful, Meagan more athletic... try to find the balance.
PLUSHENKO, KWAN, COHEN: Stay home.
I doubt Plushy has serious chance at gold. He won't be getting those monstrous pcs that was reserved for him back in dinosaur age. He always had some issue with salchow not to mention he will be hit by WE call. Unless he lands a quad or two consistently, I don't think he should be coming back at all.
Oh, I know that Brian trashed talked Plushy and so I have no issue with Plushy there. But I really hate the idea of him winning when he hasn't even done a worlds in this quad....
Brian did his shares of trash-talking Plushenko to be fair.
I doubt Plushy has serious chance at gold. He won't be getting those monstrous pcs that was reserved for him back in dinosaur age. He always had some issue with salchow not to mention he will be hit by WE call. Unless he lands a quad or two consistently, I don't think he should be coming back at all.


text: I'm getting ready to winterize the hives ,Western Montana, and have a question. I'm thinking of not using the wood top and instead using the 2" foam board I'll use for the sides. Maybe router a slot for ventilation and bees. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for any help, PK.

Chevrolet Impala Models and Impala History
The Chevrolet Impala has a long and storied history dating back to 1958. In 2000, the Impala name would assume a general-purpose role in the Chevrolet line-up when it replaced the Lumina moniker. Serving as a drastic change, this revival of the Chevrolet Impala came on a front-wheel drive propelled by a V-6 engine. Originally powered by a 3.4 liter engine generating 180 horsepower, the 2004 model year Impala was given a stronger 200-horsepower 3.8 liter powerplant. A return of the Chevrolet Impala SS trim model in 2004 allowed buyers to acquire a supercharged 3.8 liter V-6 with 240 horsepower. The Chevrolet Impala received a major restyling for the 2006 model year that also included a new 3.5 liter V-6 base engine.
The 2006 Chevrolet Impala was given a massive upgrade thanks to a 303-horsepower 5.3-liter V-8 engine. The V-8 powered Chevrolet Impala SS was discontinued after the 2009 model. Starting in 2007, the 3.5-liter engined Chevrolet Impala was designated as FlexFuel compatible. A 3.9 liter V-6 was also available on the 2007 Impala. In 2012, the Chevrolet Impala dropped both of its previous V-6 engines in favor of a 3.6 LFX V-6 powerplant generating 302 horsepower. During the late 2000s, the Chevrolet Impala gained attention in stock car racing when the car served as the basis for Chevrolet's NASCAR Sprint Cup racing efforts.
From 2007 to 2012, the Chevrolet Impala won the NASCAR Manufacturers' Championship for all six seasons. A 2014 model year redesign of the Chevrolet Impala would create a larger, more sophisticated looking sedan propelled by intelligent powerplants including one using GM's eAssist hybrid system.

text: I looked through these forums and was surprised not to find a bunch of threads on mileage, especially with gas prices as they are ($3.35 is average around here for 87)... I'm curious to know what other TB owners get. I've got a stock 2003 LS 4.2L with 4WD and just under 70k miles. It's been well maintained, runs well and has only had a couple of issues. I'm averaging around 15 mpg city and 19 hwy (if I'm lucky). I'm not a total leadfoot and rarely floor it. Most of the time is cruising. My daily commute is relatively flat and I don't run the AC very often. I noticed some posts that refer to 20+ mpg. I'd like to know how that's possible.

Lee County residents rally to bring back hospital
LEE COUNTY, Va. - 45 days after Wellmont Health Systems closed Lee Regional Medical Center in Pennington Gap, Virginia, members and officials from Lee County met at the Lee Theatre to discuss how they can bring back emergency medical services to the county.
Jill Carson of the Pennington Gap Industrial Development Authority or IDA helped plan Saturday's forum because the community wasn't sure what would happen after the closing. "The whole idea was to bring together our local officials, our state and federal folks to let us know where we were. What we had left to do, what were the realistic timeframes," said Jill Carson.
About 200 residents came out to get answers from their politicians.
According to the IDA, before the county can began considering their options they must obtain a certificate of need from the Virginia senate. That's something State Senator Bill Carrico said he'd work to accomplish, but that process could take 12 month to 24 months.
Judy Ridings, a former nurse at the hospital, tells News 5 that not having a hospital now and not getting one for two years could cost people their lives. "The county needs a hospital to survive. It's older folks, it's younger folk we all need the emergency care," said Judy Ridings.
Getting to the nearest hospital, which is in Big Stone Gap, now takes 30 minutes. It has created an even greater burden for the Lee County Rescue Squad. "Our fuel bill has increased at least 100 percent, in some cases 200 percent. Our transport times have increased. We're looking at least a couple of hours for some calls," said Josh Rivers.
Carson tells News 5 they are committed to bringing a hospital to the area and they are in talks with several health care providers.
She believes that if the hospital doesn't return, it could make the county's high unemployment and poverty rates even worse. "It's like a domino effect of things that are happening as a result of this," said Carson.
At the meeting we learned, the Appalachian Regional Hospital in Harlan, Kentucky plans to build an urgent care clinic in the next couple of weeks in Lee County to help with emergency care.

Reviews of this property
Great condo,
Highly recommended,
The owners were very helpful,
I have been visiting manila for over 6 years and have stayed in many condo's and hotels these condo's are the best value for money
You must try them
Thanks guys I am very impressed and will defiantly book again
The apartment house is very centrally located in a busy area of Makati Avenue and close to the nightlife. Since there were problems on the first night because of the volume and heavy rain due to a typhoon that whistled through leaky windows, we were able to move at no extra charge in the higher-value apartment 802, which is equipped with modern facilities where we spent a very enjoyable week. The owners were very friendly and always helpful. They even offered us a free cancellation if we are not satisfied. I would recommend this apartment dahr only.
Das Apartmenthaus liegt recht zentral in einem belebten Viertel der Makati Avenue und Nähe zum Nachtleben. Da es in der ersten Nacht Probleme gab wegen der Lautstärke und Starkregen aufgrund eines Taifuns, der durchs undichte Fenster pfiff, konnten wir ohne Aufpreis in das höherwertige Apartment 802 umziehen, das modern ausgestattet ist und wo wir eine sehr angenehme Woche verbracht haben. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns sogar eine kostenlose Stornierung angeboten, falls wir nicht zufrieden sind. Ich kann das Apartment dahr nur empfehlen.
We had a nice stay in this large one bedroom apartment. They were very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The room was clean, furnishings well cared for, and the wifi, cable, air cons, hot water, in house laundry service, and ceiling fans were all in working order. The small details made by the home owner made the decor very pleasant. The home owner was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.
It's a great value and centrally located on Makati Ave. in a neighborhood that is transitioning with a mix of upscale new development with malls and nice restaurants, 24 hour restaurants and convenience stores, a mix of residential, locals who work in the businesses here, and tourists, the red light district (but clean actually, not scary, quite safe), latin restobar and salsa dancing, german techno club, etc. The neighborhood has a lot of character. I really loved it!
I need internet to do my work, and it was not a problem. I was very happy. I am also a night owl, so I really appreciated the 24 hour night life and food availability. There was always something to see and do here.
Cab ride is only P50+ ($1.25 USD) to the beautiful Greenbelt Malls, glorietta malls, SM malls, where you can shop upscale or cheap cheap, people watch in the many restaurants and cafes, or soak in the bustle and excitement.
But, please be careful if you are a foreigner, as that will attract some attention from massage or dancing girls, children begging, people trying to sell you stuff on the street, pickpocketers (be careful at ATMs & watch surroundings). In general people are really nice here, just exercise the same caution as in any large city.
We loved our stay with Guyon and will definitely stay again if we are in Makati!
Reviews for this host's other properties
This is the first timeI have stayed in an apartment rather than a hotel. This apartment is very good value for money. It is missing a few things like dishwashing liquid and a cloth to wash dishes which would be helpful and necessary for a short term stay. But, the hosts are very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. The apartment is clean, well furnished and quite spacious. Like I said it is good value for money and I would stay again.
All good! Thanks
i stayed here july/August 2014, don`t carry water ask Mr King he will get you a very big bottle cheap, aircon worked very good only need to use one of them, the pillows could be better as they fade away to nothing as you sleep, the internet needs inprovement dropouts were comon but Mr King could fix, good bed and staff, supamarket not far away, cooking things are supplied, but no oven, 4pm checkout was no problem this was great for me 8.20pm flight. Taxi 400 to 500php to termial 1, all in all this place was good enough for me to stay again
Very Nice place to be and very polide staff if somthing happend
Spacious and well located for embassies or business in Makati, just a bit noisy from traffic and cars that obviously do not know the anti pollution control and are constemment on the horn.
If you stay a week you can enjoy the well-equipped kitchen.
Pleasant also 2 TV, one living room and one in the room (if your girlfriend can not do without its Philippine series and if you want to watch your movies in English you) .mr Guy Mr King and his assistant are very accommodating and responsive .
Return without problem.
Appartement spacieux et bien situé pour les Ambassades ou les affaires à Makati , juste un peu bruyant à cause de la circulation et des voitures qui visiblement ne connaissent pas le contrôle anti pollution et qui sont constemment sur le klaxon .
Si vous restez une semaine vous pouvez bien profiter de la cuisine toute équipée .
Agréable aussi 2 tv , une au salon et une à la chambre (si votre copine ne peut pas se passer de ses séries philippines et si vous voulez vous regarder vos films en anglais ) .Mr Guy et son aide Mr King sont très accommodants et réactifs .
Reviendrai sans probléme .
Booking through Wimdu was short and professionally acknowledged and responded to my messages immediately. The free settlement by the very nice and helpful Mr. King and the staff of Travellers was very friendly and accommodating.
The apartment, which is located opposite to the marker on the map in the specification are not in Ayala Triangle Park, but right next to the Makati Avenue near the Burgous Street corresponds fully with the pictures and is located in a very neat condition. To microwave everything is available what is needed and the beds / mattresses are very comfortable.
The location on the Makati Avenue / corner Tigris is very good for my taste, but is expected to generally more likely businessmen and / or travelers who like to go out, commitments as tourists with young children.
Who is on a bright and sunny neighborhood from should keep in mind that there is only a small window in the bedroom, making the apartment and also remains cool.
I have felt very well and look forward to returning :-)
Die Buchung über WIMDU wurde kurzfristig und professionell bestätigt und auf meine Mitteilungen sofort reagiert. Die Abwicklung vor Ort durch den überaus netten und hilfsbereiten Mr. King und das Personal vom Travellers war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Die Wohnung, welche sich entgegen der Markierung auf der Karte in der Beschreibung nicht im Ayala Triangle Park, sondern unmittelbar an der Makati Avenue in der Nähe der Burgous Street befindet, entspricht voll und ganz den Abbildungen und befindet sich in einem sehr ordentlichen Zustand. Bis hin zu einer Mikrowelle ist alles vorhanden was benötigt wird und die Betten/Matratzen sind sehr komfortabel.
Die Lage an der Makati Avenue / Ecke Tigris ist für meinen Geschmack sehr gut, dürfte aber generell vermutlich eher Geschäftsleuten und/oder Reisenden, die gern ausgehen, als Touristen mit kleinen Kindern zusagen.
Wer auf eine helle und sonnige Wohnlage aus ist sollte bedenken, dass es nur ein kleineres Fenster im Schlafzimmer gibt, wodurch die Wohnung aber auch angenehm kühl bleibt.
Ich habe mich dort sehr wohl gefühlt und freue mich auf den nächsten Aufenthalt :-)
Nice location near Greenbelt and center of bars in manila
Clean room. Nice firm bed and AC worked well as it wasn't hot
Near lots of restaurants and will prolly stay there if return to Phillipines
- Quality assured accommodation

I'm neurotic and high-strung, I feel more compelled to list my shortcomings rather than my attributes. I will make ridiculous, obscure pop-culture references at inappropriate times and get frustrated when you don't immediately understand them. Semi-relevant side note: if you make a pop-culture reference that goes over my head, I'll feel slighted and grumpy. I'd rather stay in, drink a single malt and listen to James Carr, but don't get me wrong, monotony pisses me off. I swear, I'm not as sardonic and pissy as I sound. The older I get, the less qualified I feel to talk about myself. I grew up in New England and look forward to relocating there, and forgive me here... "making a home." God, someone please shoot me. Not really. I hope you're not into that. Is that a thing? Shooting chubby girls from internet dating sites? Crap, it probably is, but I digress. Please don't take yourself too seriously. Maybe you could balance me out? And not resent my incessant fragments and use of adverbs and belief that it IS okay to end a sentence in a preposition. The word "incessant" reminds me of that one Mariah Carey song...

Foxconn Receives 10,000 Robots to Replace Human Factory Workers

One of Foxconn's new robots
(Source: singularityhub.com)
The electronics manufacturer will receive another 20,000 robots before the end of 2012
Foxconn plans to replace 1 million of its human factory workers in China with robots, and the first 10,000 have already been installed.
At least one Foxconn factory in China has received 10,000 robots for the purpose of replacing human workers. These robots, which were manufactured in house and are called "Foxbots," are capable of doing simple tasks like lifting, making selections and placing items where they belong. They will act much like assembly line robots.
According to
Singularity HUB
, each robot costs about $20,000-$25,000.
Last year, Foxconn President Terry Gou said he wanted to replace 1 million factory workers in China with 1 million robots. This was likely due to the number of problems Foxconn has had with human employees over the years.
The company came under fire earlier this year when
The New York Times
published a massive article
on the working conditions of Foxconn factories. Apple was also targeted because the report mentioned Apple's lack of action when receiving reports on these poor working environments and overtime/pay issues.
Foxconn gave employees a pay boost earlier this year and is cleaning its act up slowly but surely to comply with audits.
But it seems Foxconn just doesn't want to deal with human employees at all anymore. While it will take a long time to replace all 1 million workers with 1 million robots, the electronics manufacturer will receive another 20,000 robots before the end of 2012 -- bringing its total to 30,000 for the year. Foxconn hopes to continue increasing this number over the coming years.

Original post made by Sanford Forte, Evergreen Park, on Jul 14, 2006
FoPAL - at its best - in the past, and currently through it's many dedicated volunteers, book donors, buyers at book sales, and many of its current board continues to contribute mightily to our library.
That said, the article in last week's Weekly points out some serious problems with a small group of FoPAL's board – a portion that has led FoPAL astray to a point where interactions between the library and FoPAL have created friction and dysfunctionality to a degree that would shock FoPAL's membership.
It's time for some serious reflection and behavior change inside FoPAL's boardroom, or time for a wholesale change of those at and near the top of FoPAL's administrative board; they are damaging FoPAL's mission and image, and sabotaging forward development of our library.
What I find interesting in Doug Moran and Joy Ogawa's respective letters to the editor in this week's Palo Alto Weekly – letters written in defense of the small group of Friends members spoken of, above, is that it clearly illustrates Ogawa's and Moran's 1) acute misunderstanding of library operations; 2) a continuation of their long-standing and public mean-spiritedness toward now-retired library director, Paula Simpson - they want to level attacks and blame her now, even in her absence; and, 3) a misguided defense of the overstepping and intrusive operational meddling of this small group of FoPAL board members into normal, everyday, library operations. All this is implied in Ogawa's and Moran's letters. In sum, like the small FoPAL group I'm referring to - they want to blame the now-retired library director for inefficiencies mostly brought about by FoPAL's own meddling. This amounts to the perpetrator blaming the victim' it's unacceptable, and deserves a direct response.
Moran's and Ogawa's letters also imply a disturbing _resonance_ with this very small, core group of FoPAL board members (and a few long time FoPAL ex-board members) - in the assumption that they - ordinary citizens - somehow know more about library operations and construction of community surveys than paid professionals, with long experience.
Moran and Ogawa want to point out their brief personal experiences – and their rather skimpy knowledge of library operations – generalizing from that to blame Ms. Simpson and her staff for problems. Is this what "friends" are for?
It's revealing of Moran's and Ogawa's public, municipal demeanor on this issue that they level these attacks now, as they often have in prior pubic and written statements – knowing full well that Ms. Simpson, and the library staff is not in a position to defend. It's easy taking potshots at public employees based on innuendo and imagined slights; in this Mr. Moran and Ms. Ogawa seem to delight.
Mr. Moran, who has had aspirations in the past for for making a run at City Council should know better. He should know that getting balanced information from _both_ parties would be helpful before weighing in with the kind of irresponsible and inaccurate judgments that he throws around in public, and in the newspaper – no doubt to earn a "paper trail" helpful in getting his name in front of the public for any future Council run.
I have also heard Ms, Ogawa speak in public on this issue; she consistently condescended to library staff and Ms. Simpson – as she does now. Ms. Ogawa, I would like to know what "special sauce" you're consuming – the one that makes you think you know more about library operations than its own staff, and to make generalized judgments from small examples. Our library runs just fine without your presumed "all-knowing" advice.
Perhaps it would be more instructive of Moran's and Ogawa's time to speak in depth with library staff members and others who have been too-long harassed by an incessant operational meddling coming from the very small group of FoPAL board members in question. Perhaps they should have more than one or twofacts in hand before making general condemnations.
The Weekly article rightly raised the big questions: Is this small group of FoPAL board members using the dollars they raise from well-meaning citizens to leverage their way into key decisions made by library staff, or using the well-deserved reputation that FoPAL has gained over the years to pressure City Council into submission by threatening to withhold endorsement of revenue bond and tax measures at the polls, unless they get their way with the library?
I think our community – including book donors, and the well-meaning volunteers that staff FoPAL deserve to know what's been going on.
Our City Council will hopefully look into creating policy that keeps small funding groups with operational agendas at arm's length from staff – i.e. create healthy boundaries by insisting that contribution come to the library in general categories only, such as "furnishings", "technology", "programs", "collections", etc. – with detailed deployment and dispersal managed and accounted for by the paid library professions that serve us so well. We need to put an end to the current regime of inefficient micromanagement by the group under discussion.
Another thing that can be done is for FoPAL's membership to place some limits on the excessive and meddling behavior committed by the small group of its board members under discussion, as hinted at in the Weekly article.
Either the current core group of FoPAL's board needs to make a change in its behavior, or it needs to be replaced by the membership.
Our community, library patrons, library staff, FoPAL's well-earned tradition as a valuable community resource, and FoPAL's dedicated cadre of volunteers and citizen donor/buyers deserve no less than the changes suggested above. From there, let's move our library forward- together - to sustainability, as it furthers its mandate to delight patrons with all that a library can be.

Strange Developments surrounding Libraries
The Weekly had a very provocative story featured on page 1,
July 5th, entitled "Friends or Foes?" The use of
the word foe in connection with Friends of the Library
(and other Friends organizations) got my attention.
If the newspaper's intention was to create controversy and increase
readership, they may succeed. I think it was a cheap shot,
but it is resonating, including my reactions here.
The Weekly wondered whether Friends organizations have too much
influence on the libraries. Aside from the humorous aspects
of the charge, I don't recall any Weekly story on whether the
developers have undue influence on the Planning Department.
And what about those soccer players? Do they have too much influence?
after all, we are spending huge sums to benefit them.
Yes, it's a real problem when citizens try to influence their government.
Shocking, in fact! And those hundreds of library lovers who work without
pay or glory to raise money for the libraries, now they're a real threat.
At least that's the way Sanford Forte, a library commissioner,
sees it. Forte has unleashed a series of rants that are unprecedented.
Accusatory, emotional, and inappropriate. He laments the
departure of the library director and is lashing out. I think his behavior is
bringing the LAC into further disrepute, expressing his prejudices supposedly as
a private individual, in public. Lenore Jones, another commissioner,
has written agreeing with him. His First Amendment rights are unquestioned.
His judgement, however, is.
Forte thinks people should follow the city staff's lead; they should get with the program.
His almost religious regard for the "professional staff" is naive and unquestioning
--and laughable to an educated audience. As though government officials always
do the right thing. People are encouraged to question their doctors and their
government. And well they should.
Odd timing
What seems odd to me in the timing of the story is that just this
week there have been several positive developments on the library front.
The library director who evoked so much distrust has left, the acting director
is moving things along nicely, and the next director will learn from earlier mistakes.
The move of staff into the Downtown branch is going to happen next week,
and while we are unhappy about it, we are adjusting to the disappointment.
Maybe we will think of ways to create a positive outcome. (ideas welcome)
At least that's what I'm thinking about.
This Monday the Assistant City Manager proposed and the City Council
decided to look into technological improvements for the library, ideas
that have been suggested by the Friends. (Thank you, Emily Harrison!)
Some councilmembers hadn't heard of Link+. *
The library commission has not been doing its job there.
Everyone says we need to work together or a ballot measure won't succeed.
With so many positive things happening, why did the Weekly decide to stir up animosities?
* My own colloquial description of Link+ is that it's like InterLibrary Loan on steroids.

It's revealing - even amusing - to see you_anonymously_ plant your rant in this forum, contradicting your own words in a very hypocritical way. In fact, your timourous attempt at anonymity far reduces your credibility, and the veracity of your statements.
That said, the Weekly has done this community a favor with its article on the problems at FoPAL. Your statement to the contrary illustrates a stunning naivete on the library issue.
Incidentally, library volunteers _ARE_ valuable and necessary contributors to our library, and community; that's been clearly stated. In fact, FoPAL is a valuable institution; that's also been stated.
The beef is with those _few_ individuals on the board at FoPAL who use the trust given to them by those well-meaning volunteers to extract micromanaged operational control from our library, upsetting the balance of operations, and meddling in a way that threatens the forward sustainability of the institution.
Perhaps you're one of those persons, or closely aligned to one of those persons?
Incidentally, you illustrate profound ignorance of Links+by calling it "Interlibrary loan on steroids". It's FAR from that at this point, yet is being touted by many of the people in question at FoPAL - **contrary to library staff and LAC advice** - as _the_ answer to increasing our collections in Palo Alto. That this has even been considered shows a stunning lack of undertanding of Links+ technology, and resources.
Libraries that use Links+ only realize of tiny (smaller than tiny) fraction of their circulation from Links+. Ask around, and learn a thing or two.
Incidently, from this point on, I will answer only those posters who have the courage, and integrity, to identify themselves. Temerity in a forum like this is, shall we say. lily-livered and hardly worth a response.
This post is my first and only exception to that rule because it gave me an opportunity to educate you - and those naive enough to agree with you - on library issues.
Thanks again for that opportunity!

I did not post the excerpt from my email newsletter. I write openly and under my own name. Hundreds of people receive copies of my email, and apparently someone thought it worthy of posting an excerpt here. I will gladly email a copy to anyone, please write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please do not accuse me of behavior that comes out of your over-active imagination. You have been accusing and insulting many really fine people of all manner of things.
I have never claimed to be an expert on library administration, but my impression of FOPAL people is that many of them ARE experts and they have earned the respect of the community. Your insults of them are hurtful and unwarranted.
Elaine Meyer
PS Thank you for your attempt to educate me. Let me return the favor:
It isn't called Links+

Your passive-aggressive defense of intractable and hurtful behavior - directed at defenseless library staff, and others - of a few of your zealot friends within the FoPAL administration, including your attempt to project that behavior in other directions is regrettable. You're not as all-knowing on this issue as you appear to think, or write.
In fact, your name has _not_ been brought up in this forum, or on this thread. Thus, perhaps it is _your_ imagination that is overactive?
I've been pointing out facts; facts that can be substantiated. And you?
It's time that bad bahavior from otherwise good people is outed, so that they can be motivated to change - or replaced - and our library enabled to move forward.
I do not want to see the next library director and library staff suffer though what I have recently witnessed. Behavior that can be corroborated by many people.
There's nothing like a little sunshine to get that ball rolling, and deserved taut responses to those who fancy themselves the lords and guardians of Palo Alto politics, speaking from on high.
btw, thanks for coming out of the closet, and no matter the spelling, your newsletter analysis of "Links+" is FAR from accurate. Perhaps a visit or call to the Mt. View library and others will enlighten you on that issue, or give me a call.

I was only two full days in Melbourne and did not want one of these unpersonnal hotels. The place 'the olive tree' of don and jan was a lovely place to be. A quite victorian area close to melbourne (only 15 minutes with tram 96). The house build and decorated with taste. The room simple and fine with light bathroom. Jan and don were very friendly and edicated. Don did bring me to the city twice. They looked aftrr me a bid. Great breakfast with muesli, different yogurts etc. In other words a place to remember
Only a short stay at the olive tree with Don unfortunatly. The most friendly and welcoming people in melbourne felt completely at home in their house. Would recomend anyone to stay there.
Thank you Don for everything your accomodation and meeting you made our weekend.
It was a warm experience to stay with Don and Jan, we felt most welcome.
The room was lovely and the bathroom outstanding, could recomment it to everybody.
Graceous and generous hosts, Don and Jan could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Long term residents of this very urbane Melbourne area North Carlton reminiscent of Paris with its wide streets and oak trees, and Italy with its famous Italian fare, they could recommend resturants for dinner, pastries to nibble over great coffee all about, boutiques for shoes! and the marvellous Nova cinema with its Art House films. Film buffs delight, to mention but a few.
Transport knowledge and use of the Melbourne transport card "Myki" which the hosts supplied for our convenience, made the city and beyond accessible. We just topped up the card throughout. We also had a leisurely walk one sunny morning to downtown.
Due to one of us falling ill Don exceeded the normal host call-of-duty when he booked his doctor for us and drove and collected us. Much appreciated, as otherwise being debilitated would have interferred with or curtailed our holiday.
Inside their lovely home, the bedroom and bathroom are privately located upstairs.
Arriving in this coolish but sunny climate from a tropical country we were temperature sensitive and fortunately were able to make use of the heating and air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan for summer time too.
After a very comfortable sleep, Jan supplied a breakfast of fruit and yoghurt, and Don had whipped down to the local bakery and purchased fresh bread which we topped with their very favourite Dutch cheeses procured from the iconic Victoria Market. We gladly took a trip also to the market with Don driving to soak up the Easter frenzy. We could not resist more Dutch Cheese (Midnight Blue..hope you two enjoyed the remains), and various French varieties and deli items along with the very special Good Friday Fish. A very continental and leisurely breakfast ensued at their family dining table, repeated most mornings.
We enjoyed a sense of home, nibbling on cookies Jan had baked, as all chatted back and forth as our hosts went about their daily business. We learnt so much from Don's vast experiences. Thank you Don and good luck with the forthcoming publication of your book.
Cheers and we enjoyed the nightcap.
See you and Jan next time we touch Australian shores
Fabulous location. This property is close to the CBD and some terrific wine bars and Restraunt's. It's location also provides a peaceful and serene refuge even though it offers all of the above mentioned benefits.
Don is a delightful host who is most welcoming and helpful with suggestions of good eateries and local attractions.
Clean and a most adequate continental breakfast was served each morning. We will most certainly be back.
Just a 10 minutes ride with the tram from CBD in a quiet victorian street you will find perfect Melbourne hosts Don and Jan in their jewell of home which they are willing to share with you. Excellent bars, coffee shops and restaurants are around the corner. Don and Jan will help you with anything that might come up and give you great insight regarding life in Melbourne. I hope to be able to return one day.
We stayed one week at Jan and Don's place just after we have arrived in Melbourne. The house is warm and thoughtfully decorated and the room is clean and cosy. The bathroom is bright and shiny as sunlight floods it through a big window. The house is just the right place to stay and feel comfortable!
It's just one minute away from the lively Rathdowne Street in North Carlton with really good restaurants. You can even have a nice walk to Lygon Street, Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street or Smith Street or even CBD, or if you prefer to take the tram, it's just a few steps from the house.
The hosts will give you a warm welcome when you stay with them and you will immediately realize that they are real locals who are happy to share all you would like to know about Melbourne! They make you feel at home and you have time to relax.
We really had a perfect stay and can highly recommend The Olive Tree. Thanks a lot for everything! Vielen herzlichen Dank für alles! Michael und Leonie
The Olive tree is a lovely place. We had 10 wonderful days. Don and Jan are a wonderful couple, very relaxed and very helpful. The breakfast was very tasty.
Meine Tochter und ich wohnten 1 Woche bei Jan und don in the Olive tree. Wir hatten ein sehr schönes Zimmer mit großem und superbequemen Bett, Klimaanlage , wifi . Die Tram war 3 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen, etwa 10 Minuten bis zum Zentrum Melbourne. Morgens machte Jan Frühstück , Müsli, Früchte etc.
Wir haben aüsserst liebenswerte Gastgeber kennengelernt , die sich reizend um uns gekümmert haben und uns alle notwendigen Tipps zu Melbourne gegeben haben , halfen uns bei allen organisatorischen Problemen , perfekt , vielen Dank an Jan und don für den wundervollen Aufenthalt

Title: Trade Empires
Genre: Real-time Strategy/Simulation
Platform: PC
ESRB Rating: RP - Rating Pending
Developer: Frog City
Publisher: Eidos Interactive
Release Date: Fall 2001
Product Description:
Trade Empires is an episodic, economic simulation game about creating
a merchant empire through trade.
Gamers build vast transport and trade networks that change over thousands
of years as new technologies are developed and more modern products
are discovered. The rules of the game are simple; the variety comes
in through the discovery of new products to trade and new ways to transport
those products.
Trade Empires begins at the dawn of human civilization and covers human
history up to the 19th century. The game puts a single human player
in a world evolving in real time. It is the first trading and transporting
simulation to emphasize the effects of technological change over thousands
of years on the relatively simple model of producing and delivering
commodities to make more money than the other players.
All games are episodes. Each episode spans an area during a time period,
such as trade along the Silk Road between the Roman Empire and the Han
Dynasty. With each new episode comes a unique list of available products
and technologies ranging from the silk, bronze and jade idols of Ancient
China to the steam engines, iron plows and rum of the Industrial Revolution.
The time period varies dramatically from one episode to another. Consequently,
time passes at a different rate in each episode. Some episodes cover
a relatively short time period, depicting a historical situation. Other
episodes cover a longer period with more dramatic technological advances.
The longest episodes depict periods over 1,000 years.

The Muscle System Pro III featured in Apple's Keynote Address at the 2012 WWDC conference. Watch Video
It has also featured in the Mac Store's 'Apps for College' picks & in the iTunes Healthcare room - which is a small and focused collection of apps for healthcare professionals as selected by Apple
"Muscle System Pro III is an excellent anatomy app that can help you understand or explain primary control and other dynamics of the body. One of my favorite features of the app is the robust amount of 3D animations."American Center for the Alexander Technique (ACAT)
"The user will be able to study in detail the structure of the human muscle by the example of the highly detailed model, find the location and name of the muscles, their functions and features." iLand
"This app is ideal for visual learners and anyone wishing to get a detailed glimpse into the musculoskeletal system..." iMedical Apps
This is a 3D powerhouse of interactive anatomy that every doctor, chiropractor, nurse practitioner and massage therapist should own, not to mention every medical student or anyone interested in human anatomy. Tuaw
Developed in collaboration with Stanford University School of Medicine,
The Muscle System Pro III gives users an in depth look at the muscle system allowing them to view, zoom & rotate parts of the muscle system as well as watch animations, reveal layers, create notes, share screenshots and more. It is ideal for students, educators and professionals.
Well lots actually! Including a completely new interface, graphical hints, sound, a pen tool, media for pins, a brand new quiz format, layer transparency, I/O maps and public notes on pins.
As well as still being able to rotate, zoom and get various views with the stroke of a finger users now have many other aids to navigate around the muscle system - such as breadcrumb navigation, a hierarchical map and alternate viewing options on screen for selected area.
The muscle system pro allows users to add or remove up to 10 layers of muscle / connective tissue using the apps scalpel tool to reveal fully labelled muscles. And the 'mix layers' button can make one layer semitransparent, which is useful when comparing one layer against another layer. The bones of the skull and pelvis can be color mapped for ease of identification of areas.
As well as being able to view detailed information on pins, add notes and create custom pins users can now listen to sound and view additional images and / or animations for pins - this is one of the biggest changes to the muscle system. The added sound feature allows you to hear the correct pronunciation of each and every label. The public notes feature allows users to view & create public notes on pins.
The new pen tool allows users to draw on any screen image and then share it through email, Facebook or Twitter - a great aid for both study and demonstration! Choose between a multiple-choice quiz format or our new drag-and-drop quiz format.
If you are having difficulty using some of the features of the app then we suggest that you view the tutorial in the help section of your app, however if you still need help then you can browse through some FAQ on our support page or just get in contact.

Really love this.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Really love this.
love your colours
I got the pattern off of one of the tutorials on this board. I w
ill try and take some better pictures and post later.
I did the double middle because I didn't want the quilt to be square. the tutorial on the board just tells you how to make the blocks but not the placement. I put the pieces on my design wall until I came up with something I liked. I want to do this pattern again and I think I have a different placement figured out so that it won't just be a square but it won't be a double middle either. if I ever get around to the project I certainly will post it
I love the red on red tones. Looks amazing.
I Really Love It!! Just my colors and great job on a cool pattern.
Awesome quilt!
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
Very nice - I love red/black together!
Wow that is awesome, I love the colours.

TF since 2008, max 1 nuc/hive, no swarm collecting, www.saunalahti.fi/lunden/varroakertomus.html, YouTube juhanilunden
I just went into my hives today....the Buckfast hive did great, exactly how yours did; minimal usage of honey, hardly touched the candy board and they weren't interested in the pollen pattie.
I used the screened bottom board for mite counts and treated with MAQS in the fall. They were very gentle and had a good sized cluster. I am very happy with them and can't wait for the queens to come in June.
I would like to keep both overwintered queens here at my home yard where I can keep a close eye on them but when I take the Buckfast queen out and the new queens are mated I could take that original colony (minus the original queen and a few bars) to a remote location. Would that be enough to minimize the potential problem?
Would it be better if when I remove her I release her in a nuc made from my colony with the better mite count and no sign of viruses? Then I could take the whole colony with their newly mated daughter queen to the remote location.
Right now the Buckfast colony is building better than the MNH Mutts but the mutts are catching up fast (they were 3 brood bars to 5 a few weeks ago) and seeing 4 DWV bees and having such a high mite count I think the Buckfast will start falling behind in the next month or so.
