It is located just in the historical centre near the aeolian archaeological museum. it is easily accessible going through a typical aeolian narrow street that, through a vault entrance with a stone arcade, takes you to a special and elegant garden where all the country-house structure develops.

Erdoğan tells media not to cover Kurdish conflict
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey is known to lash out publicly at journalists of whose coverage he disapproves. He has called on media owners and editors to discipline reporters and columnists critical of his policies, particularly when it comes to the sensitive Kurdish issue. In more than a few cases, to avoid trouble, newsroom managers have listened and dismissed the staffers in question.

Sehr gute Lage in Bucharest, optimal gelegen.
Appartement schön. Alles vorhanden gewesen. Gerne wieder.
Lg Frank Hornung und Christian Schmidt
Really great appartement!
Nice and clean and comfortable.
We had a great time and I would really recommend it!
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento nel periodo di Capodanno.
La casa si trova in una posizione abbastanza centrale ed è ben collegata col centro storico (con i taxi presenti alla fermata proprio sotto casa).
L'appartamento è molto pulito, dotato di ogni comfort (anche se in cucina mancavano alcune cose per cucinare,scolapasta per esempio).
Gli ultimi due giorni non è andato il riscaldamento e il wifi, rendendo il soggiorno un pò meno piacevole.
Es war wunderschön! Ich habe mit meinem Freund herrliche Nächte direkt am Parlamentspalast verbracht. Die Wohnung war super gelegen, es war perfekt sauber, an Ausstattung gab es mehr als das Nötigste. Die Übergabe verlief reibungslos! Die Aussicht hat uns von den Socken gehauen! Ich würde diesen Gastgeber jedem weiter empfehlen!!! VIELEN VIELEN DANK für die schöne Zeit! :-) Emanuela

Very satisfied with the apartment, though it was not the apartment booked. Very clean. George is an extremely nice, helpful and open person. I can only recommend him.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice hosts, friendly and helpful!
Clean room as decribed, fast internet.
Easy to reach with Metro Line B within 15-20 Min from downtown Roma.
Bathroom and kitchen to be shared with other guests (if any) and Natalia.
We had a wonderful holiday in this place. Just 3-5 minutes walk to the Metro Station and then the ride into town. Also a way to meet people and get a feel of Rome.
We loved the hospitality and willingness to help wherever possible.
Only downside for me was the traffic on the road nearby, Rome almost never stills and coming from a quiet area that was a bit difficult.
Everything else just fine!
In itself, the stay was good. Everything was clean. We did not expect that with the lady of the house had to share the kitchen and bathroom (thought the other guests only). Proximity to Metro is very nice.
However, when we were forced to go through, in the apartment fell against 1.5 days (my wife broke her ankle). Then you have little more than a bed to sit on, no claim (the owner speaks Italian only).
Welcome was good because Natalia spoke good English. The promised bottle of wine we have not seen.
Be nice that transport could be under these circumstances. Arranged to the airport from the apartment
In itself so good stay, if you only need to sleep.
Op zich was het verblijf goed. Alles was schoon. We verwachtten niet dat we de keuken en badkamer met de vrouw des huizes moesten delen (dachten alleen de andere gasten). Nabijheid van metro is heel prettig.
Echter: toen we noodgedwongen 1,5 dag in het appartement moesten doornemen, viel dat tegen (mijn vrouw brak haar enkel). Dan heb je weinig meer dan een bed om op te zitten, geen aanspraak (de eigenaresse spreekt alleen Italiaans).
Welkom was goed doordat Natalia goed Engels sprak. De beloofde fles wijn hebben we niet gezien.
Wel prettig dat vervoer vanuit het appartement naar het vliegveld geregeld kon worden onder deze omstandigheden.
Op zich dus goed verblijf, mits je er alleen hoeft te slapen.
The apartment itself was comfortable, although as mentioned by other reviewers the bathroom needs refurbishing, but it was adequate. Natalia was very friendly and helpful and I was able to practice my Italian with her. The apartment was well placed for the metro and the supermarkets within very easy walking distance. As I arrived late to the apartment I was surprised there was nothing available to eat. I think having a few basics, like bread, milk and perhaps some cold meats or cheese should be standard. As it was dark and I didn't know the area I was reluctant to venture out to find somewhere to eat, even the supermarkets were closed. As I was in my own, again I was reluctant to go out in the evening. It is easy to use the metro to go into the centre of Rome, but personally I found it a bit tedious every day, almost like commuting to work. I think my next visit to Rome would be somewhere nearer the centre. All in all it was an experience, because It is the first time I have spent more than one day in Rome on my own.
Everything was great! Clean nice apartment and a nice host! The subway was right near ;)
Alles super! Saubere schöne Wohnung und ein netter Gastgeber! Die U-Bahn war auch gleich in der nähe ;)
When I arrived in Rome, I was greeted warmly by Natalia (Mariana's Mom!) The apartment was very large and the room really nice, clean and nicely decorated! Even if the house is located just outside the city center, is there a very good metro connection and you are within a quarter of an hour in the core of the city! I recommend all of Rome (though not in August) and wish Mariana and Natalia all the best!
Excellent welcome and what tranquility! We could come and go without any problems. We were greeted by a young woman who has given us all the necessary information and advice. Room just perfect. Decent bathroom. Kitchen available. This is really good. Close to the Metro but a bit far from the city center by cons (20 minute subway ride, but it is good). Thank you for everything :-)
Excellent accueil et quelle tranquillité ! Nous avons pu aller et venir sans aucun souci. Nous avons été accueilli par une jeune femme qui a su nous donner tous les renseignements nécessaires et de bons conseils. Chambre juste parfaite. Salle de bain convenable. Cuisine mis à disposition. C'est vraiment bien. Tout près du métro mais un peu loin du centre ville par contre (compter 20 min en métro mais ça se fait bien).
Merci pour tout :-)
everything was great. The hostess - very nice. The apartment - large and spacious.
alles war super. Die Wirtin - ganz nett. Die Wohnung - groß und geräumig.
A holiday with beautiful qualities: - Near Subway. - Value / Price - Clean. - Person who tells us that we are doing our stay in the best conditions. - Kindness. ...
Une location avec de belles qualités :
- Proche du métro.
- Rapport qualité / prix
- Propreté.
- Personne qui nous informe afin que nous effectuons notre séjour dans les meilleures conditions.
- Gentillesse.
Everything was great! Nice, clean, modern rooms with Wi-Fi and an Italian TV! Towels, dishes, hair dryer, ... all there! Very nice touch - one is at the arrival of the subway station about 3 minutes away (metro B) picked up.
Alles super! Schönes, sauberes, modernes Zimmer mit W-Lan und italienischem Fernsehen! Handtücher, Geschirr, Föhn, ... alles vorhanden! Sehr netter Kontakt - man wird bei der Ankunft von der ca. 3 Minuten entfernten U-Bahnstation (Metro B) abgeholt.
Hospitable hosts, but noisy and badly soundproofed apartment. Doors slamming, traffic means. The room was not very clean unlike previous comments (hair, hair everywhere) Besides the emergence of the owner in the bathroom while we were showering us, shame ...
Hôtes accueillants, mais appartement bruyant et mal insonorisé. On entend les Portes qui claquent, la circulation. La salle n'était pas très propre contrairement aux commentaires précédents (cheveux, poils un peu partout), Sans compter sur l'irruption de la propriétaire dans la salle de bains alors que nous étions en train de nous doucher, dommage...

If it was the latter, I believe the Giants beat the 49ers. You had plenty of opportunities to put that game away and couldn't seal the deal. Resiliency has been our strong suit. Typical response, just like Clay Matthews.
Is it just me or have 49ers and Packers fans quickly become the most annoying bunch of fans in all of football?
I swear these two teams never seem to actually lose. They either 'play flat', or 'gift wrap a loss', or 'beat themselves'. But never do they truly get beaten by a better team in their minds. At least in the packers case it's semi justified since they've been a good team for the better part of the past 20 years. The 49ers have had 2 or 3 seasons even worth mentioning since the millennium and they act like they're 21st century was that of the Patriots or Giants.
Not to mention that these morons think Alex Smith is the next coming of Joe Montana. Yeah, the same Alex Smith that only 2 years ago was booed off your own field only to have 70,000 people chant for our current backup to be put in instead.
Alex Smith = 2009 Mark Sanchez.
Good luck though niners. Not sure where you guys get off thinking you've actually accomplished anything in recent memory and don't have anything to prove, but in any event is pretty comical to fans of a team that actually does 'walk the walk'.
heres to a injury free game this sunday may the better team win.
Over 7000 posts, advanced member, joined March 2002. 1st post (as anonymous) was the day after Super Bowl 35
Imho, "gift wrapping" a game usually comes in the form of a team not giving it's strongest effort or best focus. I don't think the 49ers lacked in effort or focus in the NFC Championship game.

If there is another person out there more beautiful or more perfect than Nicki, I want someone to show me or I want to meet them myself.

Roman Reloaded
I've been listening to "Roman Reloaded" for like the past 5 days non stop...literally back to back. Been listening to "The Re-Up" too..so glad she gave us a couple of new songs just to hold us over til "The PinkPrint". This girl is just perfect. She's fine..better than fine, she's gorgeous and she makes AMAZING music. I honestly think it's gonna be near impossible to top her first two albums,...
Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 5:47 PM
The Re-Up
Can't wait for the new album to drop...well it's not really a new album but still anticipated, especially on this site. I thought the album "Roman Reloaded" was hot, better than hot, thought it was amazing. Had something for rap fans, pop fans and R & B. Catered to everyone and she does a great job at that. Looking forward to what the Re-Up has to offer.

Thanks, it so pretty...will print it and out it in a binder.
You must have been reading my mind. My daughter just requested a patchwork jacket, and I was scratching my head, wondering where in the world I'd get a pattern for one. Have a vest pattern (and a leather crazy patch vest WIP), but not a jacket. Thanks! You folks are incredible!
I love this jacket. I am going to make one for this winter. Thank you so much for the instructions.
Excellent instructions/tutorial. It sounds like this will be a fairly easy project (as long as we follow the steps closely). Thanks!
Ohhhh Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!! What a sweetie you are!!! :D I really want to make one for my MIL for Christmas. Did I say THANK YOU ???
What a great help that was. Oh dear...my list of things to do...just keeps getting longer!
Thanks for the tutorial. I usually cut the shirt down the front and put on a binding trim. I do not like pulling things over my head. Yours I will definately make.
What a wonderful and nice thing to do thinking of fellow quilters. Thank you so very much, I have saved the file and hope to make myself one, just not sure when.
Judy in Michigan
Thanks! This is on the definite To Do List!!!!!

I have one that is almost identical but it is badged as a Capri. I found mine at a local thrift store. It's one of my favorites....a quiet machine and a really nice stitch.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have one that is almost identical but it is badged as a Capri. I found mine at a local thrift store. It's one of my favorites....a quiet machine and a really nice stitch.
Kitsy, I have a BLUE light assy that came on a Singer Redeye. Must have been someone's fix in the past. I thought about keeping. Geez, for what? Anyway, I will post a pic of it. It may match your blue machine. It is yours if you think it will match close enough.
Sweet Caroline
I tried to take good enough pics this morning in order to show the best color. It needs to be rewired as the wiring is brittle with exposed wires.
Sweet Caroline
The blue is a gorgeous color, the faceplate is ornate, lots of accessories present. I'd pay more than that, if I was in love with the machine.
I'm still crying about the turquoise-blue Morse Fotomatic IV that I passed up on CL because I thought they were asking too much. I still wish I hadn't chosen that one time in my life to be a tightwad.
i understand what a clone is, but what model is the blue machine a clone of?
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
So do I. It is amazing how much you all know. I long to learn a lot.
I would gladly pay that if I were in the market for another clone, it is beautiful and has so many accessories with it. I paid 100.00 for a badged Japanese 15-clone. My Grandson had it given to him while helping a friend's family move. It was brand new had never been oiled or used. No manual or anything. Just one foot. I bought a light and 5-6 belts until I got one that fit, oiled it up and it sews perfect. I just finished sewing strips together for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
I got help from Joe and another man here and some info on it. This board is great with knowledge everyone is willing to share.

Genre: Realistic Fiction
Number of pages: 272
What's the basic story line?
When Pacy Lin and her family go to Taiwan for a month to help prepare for her grandmother's 60th birthday party, Pacy isn't really excited. Why can't they just stay home and enjoy summer vacation? When they arrive, everybody says she and her sisters should be able to speak Taiwanese, but they can't. Then Pacy has a hard time in painting class, and makes an enemy. What's more, she gets lost at the market, eats chicken feet and has her fortune told! But she does have some good times with her family, eating lots of food, especially dumplings, and seeing amazing places. In the end, she realizes that being Taiwanese-American is who she is, and she is okay with that.
Are the characters believable?
Yes, the characters are believable. The Lins are a regular family. The three sisters fight and the youngest is always asking questions. The grandma and grandpa are kind, and the parents make the kids do things "for their own good." And the characters have real problems, live in a real world and have real feelings.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a 9. It is a book that opens your eyes to a different culture and talks about things that kids can relate to. The author, Grace Lin, does a great job of describing Taiwan and the culture there. Also, there are cool pictures to show you what things look like. This is an enjoyable read.

The Russel State sites are being very careful to not overextend themselves from what I have seen. You should be all set.
I am having a hard time with this thread after reading the other thread titled something like "Robert Russell is a crook". Aren't these two threads about the same person/company? Seems like on the other thread it was determined that Robert Russell and Robert Hughes was the same person....Plus some legal issues as well..
The sub-producer for Russell-Nebraska is Matthew. I have been swapping emails with him. Let me just say, he has likely been hurt by all this far greater than any of us and I have found him to be an upstanding individual - at least the best you can tell through email. Matthew is not the "crook" referred to in the Robert Russell thread and I hope the people reading this board will get behind Matthew, support him and help him get back on his feet.
He has many sub-producers who operate under his name, but are not under his control. Basically Robert franchised out his father's reputation. The sub-producers probably got burned the most. So you can be dealing with Russell Apiaries NY and not actually be dealing with Russell Apiaries (Robert Lee Russell/Hughes)
The biggest issue the sub-producers have now is that they don't know what they are selling. Robert Russell likely fabricated the strains he claimed he developed, just like he fabricated the Hughes guy.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
I was going to be a back door operator for the family. No one has mentioned us. I have breeders I think lol.
I don't believe any of the sub producers are selling any of the lines of RA. Most have refunded all orders and have disassociated with him, including myself.
Allegany Mtn. Bee Farm
Quality Queens and Honey from Western New York
The BBB had him pegged:
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Their website sure has changed and the forums shut down. I personally was satisfied with the few queens I received a couple of years ago and really didn't have any problems, but my belief is, when there is this much smoke, there is bound to be fire somewhere. Hope everything works out for everybody. Good luck
sonnypemberton was just posting info from the AL site. He is not affiliated with Russell Apiaries Alabama, LLC.
Apology accepted.
Also wonder what happened to Ted K, that commercial beekeeper who was working with RR. He certainly disappeared. Was he another alias of RR?
Cam Bishop
No he was the guy from Alabama who claimed to have sent his crew down to help with the bees when the "tornado" struck. He also advertised nucs on this site if i remember correctly. He also had a thread about not letting bees on comb into AL and wanting to change the law. there are so many strange people involved in this it's very difficult to sort them out.
Cam Bishop
His profile indicates that he joined last July and hasn't been active since the fall: http://www.beesource.com/forums/memb...86972-Diogenes
Search his name and you come to the thread he started - interesting re-read in light of what has happened.
Ted stopped posting long before this broke. I hope he is well. Ted is opinionated but quite legit in my mind. I know enough about him to be quite certain he wasn't involved in any way.

I will pass on the sub producer status. I particularly do not like dealing with hobbyist beekeepers-period. I prefer to produce and sell 100 nucs at a time to someone with check or money in hand than the drabble rabble headaches that I have had with hobbyist beekeepers in the past. It is a good idea that Dr., Russell has thought of but the sub producer must be ready to handle the aggrevation that hobbyist can cause. TK

I raised two queens in my observation hive last summer. My wife and I carried the obv. hive outside, opened it up and caught one of the queens in a "queen catcher". We then put our new queen in a nuc with a frame of bees for her new home.
That's awesome. I have a split hive, and on 2 occations I found both queens on one side of the hive. Most don't believe me that they didn't fight, but the were both laying on the same frame! Thanks for sharing that.
where is the second queen I've watched it twice now and only see the one.
The second queen starts out just right of the reflecting light. They are side by side about 4 seconds into the video


text:
I just started a TBH 3days ago. I made a couple mistakes...forgot to remove the cap from queen cage for 2 days, and then when i fixed that problem i let a comb fall off. This was at noon. The bees got pretty testy when i uncapped the queen, but that is mostly because i spent a while trying to fix the comb that unattached.
Several hours later i went back into the hive at the end of the day to retrieve the comb that was now at the bottom of the hive. Again they got pretty testy about taking that comb out. This time a few followed me away from the hive and kept trying to let me know how bugged they were at me.
I need to go in a third time to move the queen cage from the bars to the bottom of the hive. I don't want them to make more comb around the cage and then i break more comb when i remove the cage.
My question is, should i be smoking them? I haven't yet. I didn't buy one because i read i didn't necessarily need one...or should i just leave them alone for a few days and not worry about hurting combs when i remove the queen cage in a couple days...opinions?


text:
Late June I caught a swarm. There was something up with the queen. She did not lay, so I replaced her.
The new queen is doing OK. I don't see lots of population growth, but I see some. Right now the colony is 1 1/2 mediums big.
In order for the hive to have a fighting chance for winter. When shall is start feed? Do it now to get the colony bigger quick, or wait till later and feed it trough winter?
I live in North California. Urban Environment.
Thank you

DENVER - A Colorado Springs man is facing charges of producing, possessing, and distributing child pornography, according to the U.S. District Attorney's Office.
Justin Craig Smith, 32, is accused of photographing himself sexually assaulting an 8-year-old child, and taken lascivious photos of another child, now 12, over a period of several years.
Smith is also accused of making his young victims watch videotapes of child pornography, and of sharing pornographic images on a peer-to-peer website.
A forensic analyst who evaluated Smith's computer says it contained one of the largest collections of toddler videos that the analyst has ever seen.
"Mr. Smith engaged in the sexual assault and exploitation of two young children to produce child pornography," said U.S. Attorney John Walsh. "This case should send a strong message to those who sexually prey on our children that they will get caught and they will be punished."
"Only those predators who produce child pornography really know what perverted logic they use to rationalize the horrific trauma they permanently inflict on innocent children," said Kumar C. Kibble, special agent in charge of HSI Denver. "However, our special agents with Homeland Security Investigations derive great satisfaction from rescuing these children from their living nightmare, and pursuing prosecution against their victimizers."
Smith faces prison time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines if he's convicted on all of the charges he's facing.

Jeremy Jacquot | February 22, 2009
By Jeremy Jacquot • Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 22:38
Like a bad horror movie villain, global cooling is the skeptic meme that just won't die. The latest "respectable" media figure to perpetrate that myth is Newsweek and The Washington Post columnist George F. Will, who wrote a global warming piece last Sunday that was roundly denounced by scientists and bloggers alike for its gross factual errors.
The Wonk Room's Brad Johnson has been doing yeoman's work cataloguing the many obvious inaccuracies over the last few days – you can see the latest tally here, courtesy of Think Progress – even going so far as to offer Will's editors, who have yet to issue an apology or revise the original column, a perfectly acceptable correction.
While I would expect such antics from Will, a well-known conservative and global warming skeptic, I find it deeply disturbing, albeit not entirely surprising, that the editorial board of one of the country's most prominent newspapers would refuse to admit such a flagrant mistake – let alone publish such garbage in the first place – and issue an immediate correction. I understand that many media "elites" still bristle at the notion that blogging has become a respectable platform – hence their well-worn aversion to responding to criticisms from bloggers – but ignoring actual scientific evidence smacks of journalistic FAIL.
Putting aside the know-nothing cranks like George Will, my other big complaint about global warming coverage has been the media's near myopic on providing so-called "balance" – the misguided notion that, for every article about the impacts of climate change, there should be another one questioning the consensus (preferably citing the likes of Bjorn Lomborg, John Coleman, and their fellow travelers at the American Enterprise Institute and the National Association of Manufacturers).
Though things as a whole have vastly improved in recent years, many reporters continue to struggle with this idea – some more so than most, of course – while others, lacking the requisite knowledge or simply chasing the latest headlines, fail to do the science justice. Now while I don't expect all environmental reporters to have post-graduate degrees in climate science, they should be knowledgeable enough to provide some context and background when writing about the latest Nature study (Time's Eric Pooley wrote a great piece about this).
As much as I wish it weren't so, George Will is hardly the first writer to touch on global cooling in recent months. Joe Romm and the Real Climate team have blogged at length about the media's tendency to seize on short-term weather or climate patterns – a brief cold spell here, an extremely warm period there – and make grand predictions or statements about climate change.
Last year, skeptics so hyped up reports showing that January had been slightly colder than usual that many reporters, including thoughtful ones such as The New York Times' Andrew Revkin, felt compelled to write about it. Never mind the fact that a single blip in a decades-long process is hardly worth the mention – even if it happens to follow the warmest blip on record.
Which is why I had to laugh when I read Romm's post, entitled, "Breaking news: Unprecedented global warming in past year." While it did end on a serious note, this post is a perfect encapsulation of the breathless, short-sighted coverage we often see in the mainstream media. Instead of explaining the larger trends, or at least providing some context, a reporter might simply hone in on the numbers: a 0.37°C year on year temperature rise, or 20 times the annual rate of warming in recent decades.
Leaving aside the jokey elements here, Romm does use these numbers to make a larger point about the predicted long-term global warming trends:
"I should note that the National Climatic Data Center has this as the 7th warmest January (see here), with year-over-year warming of 'only' 0.35°C.
Note also that we are still experiencing La Niña conditions, which tend to slightly cool global temperatures.
Now what could really make this a genuinely serious emerging storyline is that in the summer of 2007, the Hadley Center made some interesting near-term predictions in Science (see "Climate Forecast: Hot — and then Very Hot"). They pointed out that in addition to the steady increase in anthropogenic warming from greenhouse gases you have to add a smaller variation from climate oscillations linked to the oceans. Those oscillations have been tamping down temperatures a tad, and may keep doing so for the next year or so, but the decade of the 2010s is going to bring a return to record-smashing temperatures."
To put it more bluntly: While we always want to avoid making a mountain out of a molehill, the media needs to recognize two critical facts: a) global cooling doesn't exist, and b) one month, or year, of slightly unusual temperatures does not a trend make. We know global warming is real because it is a decades-long process that has been well-documented and studied over the last half-century.
Despite what the skeptics would have you believe, there isn't, and never was, a cooling "consensus." Studies published during the 1970s that predicted a period of intense cooling – a mini-ice age of sorts – were quickly disproven with the arrival of better, more accurate data. Citing those studies grossly misrepresents the state of modern climate science, since – and I know this will shock some people – researchers' understanding of these processes have radically changed since the 70s.
The next time you try to mislead your readers, George, make sure your "evidence" is up to date.

Jeremy, earlier this week I was listening to Spin Cycles (courtesy of Greenfyre's), and in it there was an interesting observation made: what constitutes being "objective" is different between science and journalism. A scientist is considered objective only if he keeps personal opinion of any sort out of his statements (that is, his statements are made on the balance of evidence). A journalist is considered objective only if he represents all sides of a conflict (that is, his statements are made on a balance of viewpoints). Normally these differing approaches are left alone, but in reporting on political issues with a scientific basis, they tend to collide, and collide hard. It's the differing definitions of objectivity that seem to cause science writers and the popular press to talk past each other.
On a related note, The Way Things Break has been cataloguing the assorted responses to Will, with the intention of illustrating the wide disapproval of the WaPo's actions. When you have Andrew Sullivan agreeing with the Wonk Room, people should take notice.

et tu, New York Times
yesterday the Science section (!) of the NYT published a rant by Tierney putting down global warming and working to mitigate it. Not one fact in it. Mostly a book review of Roger Pielke's 'philosophical examination' of what scientists should and should not.
Big attack on science and scientists wrapped up in sophistries. Disgusting.
climateprogress.org suggests sending a letter of complaint asking for factual corrections to NYT. I'd already written a Letter To The Editor, but followed their suggestion also.
This while I'm in the middle of considering getting the Times delivered. I don't think I can take much Tierney tripe.
Oh My
Greenhouse gases are necessary to life as we know it, because they keep the planet's surface warmer than it otherwise would be. But, as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature is climbing above past levels. According to NOAA and NASA data, the Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 1.2 to 1.4ºF in the last 100 years. The eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have all occurred since 1998, with the warmest year being 2005. Most of the warming in recent decades is very likely the result of human activities. Other aspects of the climate are also changing such as rainfall patterns, snow and ice cover, and sea level. advecia

Changes in the Weather
I have noticed over the past several years that there is little difference between seasons. The seasons seem to be evolving into different patterns. We have the equinox to tell us when one season ends and another begins, but the weather patterns are being delayed. Summer is hot into September, Fall is cool until December, Winter seems to meld into spring. I am just a little concerned that the weather wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for global warming. There seems to be a lot of disasters happening more frequently and in areas that aren't normally affected.

Please Publish the SCIENCE that proves CO2 causes Global Warming
I think we take the wrong approach when we try to address all the smoke and mirrors of the AGW crowd. First of all, Climate Change is real. There is no disputing that science. It has been going on since time began.There has been a warming trend until 2001 and since then we are cooling. Those are scientific facts.
Another scientific fact is that carbon dioxide levels are increasing in our atmosphere. There is science to back that statement too. But there is NO SCIENCE that proves increases in CO2 causes the increase in temperature prior to 2001.
If you have a copy of that science (not just scientific consensus) you would publish it. It has never been published because it does not exist.
All the AGW crowd can do is to try to assassinate the character of anyone who dares to challenge their theory. They cannot carry on a civil debate of the facts of the science using the guidelines of the scientific method.
How many scientists does it take to prove the debate is not over? More than 30,000 scientists have signed The Petition Project. More than 9,000 of them have PhDs (not that that proves anything about carbon, but it does prove something about the myth of "consensus").
The petition's wording is unequivocal:
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon
dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments
of the Earth."

The Petition Project is funded by donations from
individuals and run by volunteers. It receives
no money from industry or companies. Source: http://www.heartland.org/books/PDFs/SkepticsHandbook.pdf
I wonder, if there's any
I wonder, if there's any scientific evidence of the fact that rejecting the Kyoto Protocol and going on poisoning the environment will delay the Judgment Day for the mankind? Using environment friendly technologies and reducing air pollution will not result in anything bad for us. And if those scientists worry so much about carbon dioxide, let 'em be sure that only cows produce excessive amounts of it enough for all those possible "beneficial effects".

text: This has been going on for a couple of days. Several bees will be out on the landing board and it looks like they have a terrible itch. They take their hind legs and start scratching at their abdomen over their back and wings. To the point that they actually fall over. They are stumbling around like they can't control themselves. I thought at first they were trying to knock mites off, but I don't see any. Do you think they've gotten into some poison? I've not read anywhere that this is a symptom of anything. Please help. I would vidio it if I knew how to upload it.

Alabama gets set for Irish offensive attack
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Alabama assistant coach Kirby Smart runs the stingiest defense in the country when it comes to yards allowed, but as he looks at Notre Dame, he sees plenty of reasons for concern.
The second-ranked Crimson Tide play the No. 1 Fighting Irish on Monday in the BCS title game and on Friday it was Alabama's turn to have its defensive leaders talk with reporters.
Smart says Notre Dame's running back by committee features a player with tremendous one-step quickness, Theo Riddick, and two with great speed, Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III.
Defensive line standout Damion Square says Notre Dame's redshirt freshman QB, Everett Golson, has the athletic ability to make a broken play into a big gainer. The Tide will look to contain him.

I've done some searching on the site and have come up empty handed on whether deciding to start a hive in my backyard has any bearing on the type/number of pets I have. So, is this just unspoken common sense that I can have my dogs, cat and honeys as well? The bees who visit my yard in the spring and summer do not seem to bother me or my furry companions, but having a hive in the yard is another story...to me, anyway.
After much research from you wonderful folks, I am leaning towards a Lang hive. Should I lift it further from the ground to prevent curious doxies from bothering it? Tinkling on it? Is there a recommended height that I should start with? Kitties from climbing it?
I have much to learn still before even thinking of purchasing any needed equipment, let alone bees, but this is my first real concern before I can even think about having a hive... perhaps, after reading one of the posts, maybe a few stings will help with the arthritis one has...
Thanks for any input.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by CowboyChris, Jan 5, 2013.
Ponder is inactive, Webb to start, just for the record he was a pet cat of mine in the 2010 draft.
Ponder actually played great last week.
Webb's mobility could help some though
I liked him too. I think he could, not will, but could, make the difference this game.
Maybe if Peterson runs for 200 yards and he wins with 100 yards passing and a 50% completion percentage we can crown another franchise QB tonight.
Ponder can not throw the Football his Elbow got busted up last week and he can not totally straighten it and throw properly.
all i can say about that is Minny did a heck of job hiding this all week.
I am confident that the Minny fan base would like to see that, but I doubt Rodgers will throw for 3 picks tho'.
Remind me never to take you seriously when you say you have a "pet cat." Joe Webb looks like the worst QB I've ever seen. And that's not an exaggeration.
I see what you did there.
This is so spot on. Dude was terrible. I see, now, why they started Ponder all year. They had nothing behind him.
I'm sorry. What are you saying? What is the facepalm doing? You said Joe Webb was one of your pet cats. I listened for years to people say AOA and that wide receiver/quarterback were their Cowboys pet cats. I don't know if you're blind--if so I feel like a total a*s--but Joe Webb is god awful at quarterback. So please explain what the facepalm means?
it simply meant i was embarrased by Webb's play, he was a pet cat of mine, but hey you win some lose some.

I am a new beekeeper and I am trying to get my hives ready for winter in Seattle. I am planning to feed syrup with Fumagilian B and place Api Life on the brood box. I have not seen mites on bees yet but I think it is better to be proactive than reactive. Is this what I need to do before winter comes? Are there any other medication I need to give?
Another question is - I am leaving honey for my bees this year and I was thinking to harvest whatever is left in the spring. But I realized that the honey may contain all these mediation in it. But in spring, I am supposed to medicate my bees... when do I get medication free honey? How do I know which honey is chemical free??? When I start to think about what I feed my bees, I am afraid to harvest honey.... Am I thinking too much or am I missing a critical step ? HELP!

Noticed a mess on a bench near the entrance to the hive and another one under a branch of a tree about 2 feet away. At first I just thought some birds had taken shelter from the rain.. But then I noticed the bird mess was littered with bee bodies Generally just the back 1/2.. Stingers still in them.
Then I saw a small yellow bird swooping in and catching bees in the air and then sitting on a branch and eating them.
Never noticed this type of bird before, but it is really eating well.
Piles of bee remains in a couple of places. Quite a few actually...
Anyone else having this problem ??

mich, how many frames of bees do you have?
mich, how many frames of bees do you have?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
You mean like Nevada City/Grass Valley? I grew up in the country out there....its good 'bee land' with the abundant forest fires and resulting blackberries and poison oak!
Im also looking for a good recipe for pollen/candy patties. Im in the N.W. now and have a light hive that may not make it on their stores.
I've followed the rules and failed. I've ignored the rules and succeeded. The more I fuss, the weaker they get. The less I do, the better they do. My first hive I found down to two frames in late August and learned about our summer dearth. I filled the feeder and left them to their own devices. They surprised me the following spring and became the source of over a dozen colonies over the past eight or so years. Hopefully they will surprise you. If so, I suspect you will create a strong source for more.
I made a mistake earlier when I said that the last week in September was a good time to start treatments, I must have been slightly off kelter that day, I meant to say the last week in August,

Thank you - you give me hope. It's been cold lately and I've been worried about them. It's been too cold/rainy to open up the hive and check, so they have their feed and hopefully they will make it. My fingers are crossed.

Fashions by Rina diMontella (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, October 10, 2013 12:54 PM
By Alex Onken / American Press
Clothing retailer The Perfect Fit will present the fashion show "Art of Fashion Design IV: Coast to Coast" on Thursday, Oct. 17, in the L'Auberge events center. Doors will open at 6 p.m.
The show will feature couture fashion designers Rina diMontella of New York and Lourdes Chavez of Los Angeles. Styles will include day wear, evening wear, cocktail wear and bridal couture by diMontella.
"This gives our ticket holders an opportunity to see what's currently showing on the runways of New York and the runways of Los Angeles," said Susan Reed, executive director of the Imperial Calcasieu Museum.
"Both designers have signature looks. Rina is no sleeve, cocktail. Her bridal wear is stunning. They have two different looks that we're showing. The West Coast is a little more relaxed.
"Lourdes Chavez's fabrics are amazing, really beautiful. Some look as if you could cut them out, frame it and hang them on the wall."
Chavez — who will be at the event — designed former "Entertainment Tonight" correspondent Mary Hart's dress for her coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding.
DiMontella, involved in New York Bridal Fashion Week, will be represented by her head designer. Her bridal fashions were recently featured on "David Tutera Unveiled" on WE tv.
Though the designs are couture, the female models will range in size and in age, with the youngest being 16 and oldest in their 40s. Celebrity models will include Nomica Guillory, Mrs. Louisiana-America 2006, and Lori Schultheis Adams, Miss Plus Louisiana 2008.
Ticket holders will be served complimentary hors d'oeuvres and wine 6-7 p.m.; the show will be at 7 p.m.
Proceeds from the fashion show will benefit the Imperial Calcasieu Museum.
Tickets are $35 and are available at The Perfect Fit, Gordon's Drug Store, PaperSmith and the museum. Seating is limited.
For more information, call the museum at 430-3797.

Story highlights
- New "couch" will combine two seats and have 14 inches of extra legroom
- Some passengers on Samoa Air weigh up to 210 kilos (460 pounds)
- Initiative includes ramp access to seats in place of steps
Samoa Air has taken the next lunge in the debate on air travel and overweight fliers with a new extra-large seat for extra-wide passengers.
"The new seat is like a two-person couch, created from two adjacent seats without an armrest," the airline's CEO Chris Langton told CNN.
The new seat will also have 14 inches of extra legroom, created by the removal of the row in front. The initiative includes the adoption of a boarding ramp, as opposed to steps.
"Most people around 130 kilos (285 pounds) struggle to get up most steps, so we've redesigned ours into a ramp to help bigger passengers get to their seats," said Langton.
The tiny airline -- its fleet consists of three planes, each with 10 seats or fewer -- already operates the airline industry's only pay-as-you-weigh pricing scheme, which charges passengers according to their combined body and luggage weight.
It transports some of the world's biggest travelers.
A 2007 Forbes report claimed 80% of Samoans are overweight, and it's unlikely things have improved since then.
"Some of our customers top out at 210 kilos (460 pounds)," Langton said. "Many come in around 160 kilos and around 40% in the 100-130 kilo range."
Pay more get more
Langton said the move -- which will become operational in one of the airline's planes on June 26 -- is meant to offset extra costs incurred under the controversial pay-as-you-weigh plan and acts as a trial for potential implementation in other aircraft.
"Because some bigger passengers will be paying more, we want them to be comfortable," said Langton. "It's a precursor to what will happen to our 100-seater planes, which we'll start operating in three to six months."
Data on passenger weight collected by the airline since November show that for every 50 passengers they fly, three to four will weigh 160 kilos (352 pounds) or more.
The pay-as-you-weigh scheme has been criticized for condoning unhealthy eating by travelers. Langton disagrees.
"Airplanes run on weight, whether that's healthy weight or unhealthy," he said. "Our problem is putting that weight on seats and the fact that different people weigh different amounts. It's completely separate from the issue of health."
The airline recently set up a scheme with a local fitness center in which members who lose weight at the gym receive Samoa Air vouchers giving them three kilos for the price of one -- a 66% saving.
Weigh in and pay up
The airline's fee structure allows travelers to enter their approximate weight and that of their luggage and prepay based on that "guesstimate."
A Norwegian economist recently published a paper advocating the practice.
Some travelers have criticized the weight-based fare concept as a "fat tax." Others believe it's fair.
"Yes, if I am getting less than 100% of the seat I paid for, the person taking my space should have to make up the difference," a CNN.com commenter wrote.
For a tiny carrier like Samoa Air, the fare model seems reasonable, according to airline analyst Vaughn Cordle, a partner at Ionosphere Capital, a transportation investment research firm.
"For this small operation, specifically with the aircraft they fly, weight restrictions are the key practical problem they have to deal with on every flight. They have a solid business case to charge for weight," Cordle said.
But travelers are unlikely to see anything like it on a large U.S. airline, he said.
"For U.S. airlines, I think this is an issue they will not touch with a 10-foot pole because of the negative publicity and the practical purposes of weighing people at the gate."

Moeller is clearly and intentionally imitating Abbott's movements, down to the entry to his 2A jump and a lot of the arms and expression. Although "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," I personally find such detailed and vivid imitation slightly disturbing and would rather see younger skaters try on their own styles that are appropriate for their age.

The new project that was constructed was worse than horrible, it was a flaming disaster.

For the vast majority of Rhode Islanders — the insured — health-care is something you get when you need it. Feeling sick? Call the doctor. Slip and fall? Go to the emergency room or an urgent-care center. Need surgery? It's not fun, but it's covered.
But for more than 100,000 uninsured Ocean Staters, seeing a doctor can cost $150 or more, an ER visit can easily top $1000, and a hospitalization can lead to bankruptcy.
And now unemployment is swelling the ranks of the uninsured: a record 50,200 Rhode Islanders collected unemployment in September, and the state's unemployment rate has risen to 8.8 percent. Simultaneously, the state has cut RIte Care, its Medicaid program for families, to help close a major deficit, leaving thousands of poor children and families without coverage.
"Over half of the adults who are coming in now as new patients don't have insurance," says Merrill Thomas, CEO of the Providence Community Health Centers, which serve more than 35,000 mostly low- and middle-income people. "It's a bad spiral downward."
So if you're uninsured and need health-care, what do you do? Here are some options.
COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERSMuch as Thomas and his statewide counterparts worry about the growing wave of uninsured patients, they are there to help everyone who needs them — it's their mission.
Community health centers provide comprehensive primary care to anyone who comes in, and offer a charge based on one's income: a $20 minimum if you meet federal poverty guidelines, or gradually more, up to fees comparable to a doctor's office, if you're fairly well-off. "The poverty guidelines aren't as stringent," Thomas says. "If you're a student and you're making $10,000 a year, you're going to qualify."
The centers also help patients get specialty care, medications, and, if needed, hospital care, and connect them with programs for which they might be eligible, from RIte Care (which remains a great safety net for pregnant women and children) to drug assistance programs.
Rhode Island has 12 community health centers, some with multiple locations — from Woonsocket, to Coventry, to Block Island — with a concentration in urban areas. Each has a different range of services and fee scales; to find one near you, visit rihca.org.
THE RHODE ISLAND FREE CLINICCan't afford to pay anything for health-care? The Rhode Island Free Clinic, in Providence, is there for you. Just be warned, though, it may be hard to get in — because the clinic can only care for about 1000 of the estimated 35,000 people eligible for its services.
Accepted patients are cared for by doctors who volunteer for afternoon and evening clinics, including Brown University medical residents and well-respected local physicians. The clinic provides primary care and a limited range of specialized services, but also helps patients get specialty and hospital care, medications and anything else they need.
A new "virtual clinic" is now under development to recruit doctors statewide who can take a few uninsured patients free of charge, a move expected to dramatically increase the clinic's capacity. For more information, go rifreeclinic.org.
HEALTHACCESSRIThe most affordable option for all but the poorest uninsured is a year-old program started by Dr. Michael Fine, the primary care physician and health-care visionary who years ago created the Scituate Health Alliance to provide affordable care to everyone in that town.

Bring your bulbs indoors for a dose of colour therapy, suggests Meg Liptrot.
Feeling housebound and over winter? Get a head start on spring and bring your potted bulbs indoors for a burst of colour.
Although bought bunches of spring flowers have appeal, flowering bulbs in pots last longer. The promise of strong shoots emerging from the soil, as only bulbs do, brings enjoyment in itself.
Jonquils, daffodils and snowdrops are flowering now and will contribute a country vibe to the house, particularly if the bulbs are planted in earthy terracotta pots. The rich purples of hyacinths brings a regal feel to a formal interior, complete with heady perfume, too.
The team at the Auckland Domain Wintergardens has a striking display of hyacinths and orchids on right now. It doesn't matter whether it's raining outside, you can enjoy the verdant greens and floral tapestry in the Victorian glasshouses. They provide inspiration on how to bring themed pots inside each season. One of the glasshouses is heated for tropicals, so you can warm up in here while admiring giant tropical water lilies and lush greenery.
The glasshouses at Wellington's Botanic Garden are equally gorgeous, with orchids in hanging baskets, huge cycads, an air plant display, and another large internal pond with lotuses. The multitude of iridescent fish in these pools are wonderful to look at, too.
Taking a cue from these glasshouses, ferns, orchids, bromeliads and palms make happy house-fellows over winter. I even spotted my favorite houseplant of the moment, Maranta orbifolia, in the Wellington glasshouse, adding to the tropical foliage in a display with its textural, ribbed leaves. This plant, which hails from Bolivia, has been the best pot-plant performer I've had, even surpassing the Peace lily (Spathiphyllum) in its ease of care. Houseplants can be temperamental, but I've learned a few lessons over the years.
Overwatering often means death for houseplants, and this specimen is no exception. Maranta lets you know when it needs watering. A very slight droop in the leaves and it's in need of a soak. This has been fail-safe for this particular plant, and it takes pride of place in our bathroom. Some houseplants, such as ferns, need to be kept consistently moist, others such as orchids almost need to dry out before watering.
The rule of thumb is never leave your pot sitting in a saucer of water, as it's a sure way to rot their roots.
Some slow-release fertiliser every six months keeps many houseplants happy. I use worm castings and a little rock dust on my larger palm with good results. When I have time, wiping the leaves with a damp cloth removes pesky scale insects and dust. It does some indoor plants good to get outside every now and again on a rainy overcast day. I do this on occasion with hardy plants in spring or autumn to give them an invigorating rinse off. Never leave in full sun as they'll get burnt.
If you've neglected watering for a while, the potting mix will be too dry and repel water. If this happens, immerse the pot in a bucket of water until bubbles stop coming up. The water will soak into the soil from the bottom up via capillary action . Allow to drain off well before placing on a saucer.
Delicate plants such as African violets require watering from the bottom up. Stick to the specially designed self-watering pots which are fairly fail-safe. Watering African violets and cyclamen from the top will often cause their fleshy leaf stems to rot. They also suit a little liquid fertiliser to ensure flowering during growing season.
The colour green is associated with growth, balance and harmony. Green means life, nature, fertility and well-being and is supposed to be healing to the eyes. Whether you have permanent houseplants or temporary visitors, a bit of colour therapy does wonders on a grey day.
Houseplants for an exotic, tropical theme
* Moth orchid (Phalaenopsis)
* Vriesea and bromeliad hybrids
* Japanese Peace Palm (Rapis excelsa)
* Hanging Pitcher Plant
* Peacock Plant (Calathea makoyana)
* Arrowhead Plant (Syrigonium podophyllum)
Classic old-school charm
* Boston and Maidenhair Ferns (great in the bathroom)
* African violet, Hyacinth bulbs
* Cymbidium orchid
* Begonia
Architectural plants
* Mother-in-Law's Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)
* Succulents and cacti for spots in direct sunlight
* Got plenty of space or want to green your office? Hire a green wall (or construct your own)
Some houseplants proven to clean the air
* Peace lily; Spider plant; Arrowhead plant; Philodendron spp.; Ficus benjamina; Syngonium; Dracaena
In the kitchen
* Potted Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, oregano and basil suit a sunny windowsill.
* Small-leafed Greek basil is nice nipped into shape. They look like mini topiary.
* A window box within view of the kitchen is well suited to Pelargonium (recognised as geranium) with its uplifting scent.
* Sprouting greens such as alfalfa, broccoli, wheatgrass and radish add some green interest to the kitchen, with the extra benefit of boosting sluggish winter metabolism.

I hear a lot of this sort of thing:
• "I'd love to quit being a graphic designer and work with animals, but I'm 42 now, everybody would think that was ridiculous".
• "If I marry/divorce him then everyone will think I am crazy and it's a big mistake.
• "I actually find a lot of aspects of childcare really boring but everyone will think I am a bad mum if I don't cook from scratch every night."
• "I'd love to sell the bach and be mortgage-free but everybody says it's a bad time to sell."
• "Nobody thinks I am smart enough to run my
own business."
• "I can't leave this job: people will think I just can't cut it."
Notice how the individual's power has been given away to the collective "everybody".
"Everybody" is overruling the individual's natural inclination to make the choice he or she feels called to make, leaving them fearful of making a decision because of what "everybody" might think.
It may seem obvious when you see it written down here in black and white. "Duh! Who would be stupid enough to be influenced by that?" but I can assure you it is easy to end up doing what "everybody" expects or thinks is a sensible choice. I guarantee, on some level, it's a factor in your life too. Inside it's eating us up but we stay in a situation because its what "everyone" wants.
Listen Up! Some truth coming your way.
• "Everybody" may have our best interests at heart but that does not mean they are right.
• "Everybody" can have a vested interest or hidden agenda on you making a particular choice. Yes really.
• "Everybody" can be completely totally and utterly wrong about what is the right choice for you.
• Getting the approval of "everybody" is technically impossible. When you think about it it's actually ridiculous.
• Pleasing "everybody" is not, in fact, your job.
If you have a decision to make ask a few key people.
Ask their opinions. Understand that they have their opinion, they are entitled to it, and you can agree with it.
Or not. All it is, is an opinion, and your opinion is just as valid. Especially when it comes to the choices you make for your life!
Take it on board, but then listen to yourself. Disregard the opinion of the nameless, faceless "everybody". Do not let it take your power. It really doesn't matter what "everybody" thinks, in fact, what's important is what YOU think about the choices you make in your life.
So, be brave, step up, speak up, make wise choices based on the calling of your soul; don't give your power away to pleasing "everybody". Make 2013 full of choices that honour your truth.
Action step
What area of life are you trapped by the need to gain the approval of "everybody"? Make a choice in favour of YOU in 2013. Honour your own truth and make a wise choice based on your true needs and desires.
Each week, life coach, yoga teacher and corporate escapee Louise Thompson will share actionable tips to make life happier, healthier and less stressful. Louise will suggest simple changes in thought and habit that can transform how we feel, from improving the life/work balance, to losing weight through intuitive eating techniques.

As newlyweds, Ashley and Jason Bartner were beginning a new phase in their lives. Jason was a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Ashley was an aspiring actress. But when they stepped off the plane for their honeymoon in Italy, they had no idea how different life was about to become.
The couple had planned to settle down and buy a home in New York, but during their honeymoon, exploring cozy cafés, cobblestone avenues, and seasonal fruit markets, they fell in love with Italy.
As soon as they got back to Manhattan, they booked their flight back to Rome. They had a vision of a farmhouse with a cooking school and a B&B. They conjured up scenes of free-range chickens and tabby cats, with a garden sprouting parsley, cucumbers, and strawberries…
Within 18 months, that dream had become their La Tavola Marche Cooking School and Organic Farm, in the Le Marche region of Italy.
How did they do it? The pair developed a concrete business plan, detailing their objectives and how they would specifically achieve each goal. They broke down their plan into tangible steps, and they took intensive language classes, immersing themselves in Italian for a year. Four times they returned to Italy, searching for property, networking, and experiencing the country in each season. With an interest in slow travel and farm-to-fork eating, they attended conventions on these topics, meeting people and asking for advice that would help them prepare for a move to Italy.
"You have to focus your energy on this one plan," says Jason. "And that energy will filter out and change everything that you thought was important." Their dream seeped into every nook of their lives.
Shopping, saving, and cooking all revolved around their impending business venture. Money that they had saved for a new house became a down payment on property outside of Piobicco in the Le Marche region.
They bought their 300-year-old farmhouse, perched atop a rolling hill, in 2006. With a solid foundation and sturdy roof, the property was livable from day one. But the Bartners wanted their new home and business to be perfect.
So they renovated the large kitchen with professional-grade appliances for cooking classes and built an outdoor wood-burning oven for homemade pizzas. With his own hands, Jason turned a small plot of land at the foot of his steps into a traditional organic garden and Ashley tended to the free-range lifestyle of their chickens.
Work on the farm begins in the early morning hours, but the long days have paid off. Now, five years on, La Tavola Marche is one of the most successful agriturismos in the region. The garden sprouts aromatic herbs, hearty potatoes, and tomatoes twined traditionally around bamboo staves. A spring feeds water into the house for cooking and into a hillside pool for cool afternoon swims.
Ashley and Jason have no intention of moving back to the U.S. And, during the off season, they can travel around Europe, vacation in Belize, and plan getaways to Thailand, always relishing the moment during their honeymoon when they said to each other: "Wait a second. We can do this!"

RDM-LAX flight holds promise for business, tourism
American Airlines could begin non-stop flight in June
BEND, Ore. - Excitement for a new flight option in Central Oregon is taking off.
It was announced Wednesday that American Airlines is interested in establishing non-stop flights between Redmond and Los Angeles -- if local interest, in the form of pre-sold tickets and a separate revenue guarantee are arranged by the end of next week.
"We're looking at this as an opening for commerce and business and the ability to attract interest and companies up here as well," Economic Development for Central Oregon Executive Director Roger Lee said Thursday.
Horizon Air offered this service until 2010, and Lee said they've been trying to replace it ever since.
EDCO got news of the possibility last week -- and has only eight days left to raise $350,000 in travel vouchers to show the community's commitment to the new flight. Lee said so far, the business community is responding well.
Lee couldn't give the specifics on how much has been raised so far, but said they're off to a great start.
"When there's a need, a unified interest in seeing something happen, the community steps up and make something happen," he said.
Central Oregon is not competing with other regions to get the new air service, and Lee said getting it here is crucial.
"We have more people in a few counties down in Southern California than we do in the whole state of Oregon, and that really represents trade routes for our area," Lee said.
The new service could change tourism as well.
Alana Hughson, president and CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association said many Californians have to plan extended vacations to come to Central Oregon. But with this direct flight, she said, the High Desert will be a new destination for weekend getaways.
"The timing is ideal, both from a business development perspective and a tourism perspective, and we are very excited for the opportunity to put this together," Hughson said.
The city of Bend is also getting involved. The Bend Economic Development Advisory Board is holding a meeting Friday afternoon, where it will discuss whether to pitch into funding the flight.
In addition to the "travel bank," Lee said revenue guarantees of $100,000 must be met -- and EDCO plans on presenting to several city councils meetings around the region to ask for that money.
During a Bend City Council discussion late Wednesday night, councilors seemed willing to buy some of the tickets, but at least two -- Mayor Jim Clinton and colleague Sally Russell -- expressed misgivings about chipping in other city funds when there are so many pressing needs facing the city.
Carolyn Eagan, the city's business advocate, said the advisory board had been considering asking the city to put in $50,000 from its "opportunity fund," citing the economic boost and potential new business the flights would lure.
EDCO is also holding informational meetings beginning on Friday to explain the travel bank and other aspects of the proposal.
The schedule is:
March 7th: 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at EDCO Bend office
March 11th: 9a.m. 446 SW 7th St., Redmond
11a.m. COCC/Open Campus Boardroom, Prineville.
1p.m. Madras Airport
3:30p.m. Sisters Chamber of Commerce
March 12th: 1p.m. EDCO Bend office
March 13th 9a.m. and 1p.m. EDCO Bend Office
Some answers to questions about the proposal can be read here: http://www.visitcentraloregon.com/images/enews/frequently-asked-questions-atb-3.pdf
There's also a slideshow with more details: http://library.constantcontact.com/download/get/file/1107248863343-414/American+Airlines+ATB+RDM-LAX+2013+-+email.pdf

[quote user="rainierjef"]With the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft the NY giants select - Doug Martin RB - Boise State
my alt pick and you guys might roast me for this. Dwayne Allen, TE - Clemson
IMHO I think we can find good pass rushers in other rounds, we're only looking at DT for contracutal safe purposes ( to get rid of canty's monsterous contract ) and DE for rotational purposes these guys are not going to have immediate impact. unless they flat out destroy the competition at camp.
Martin or Allen would be immediate impacts and to me that what you want out of your first rounder immediate impact.
i think for grooming purposes those are guys in the third round.[/quote] Dwayne Allen in the first??
