In London, Pattrick Smellie meets a group of Kiwi businesswomen who reckon they're in the ideal place to take on the world.
North Korea may not be the obvious place to start a feature on Kiwi businesswomen in Britain, but Auckland-born Joanna Alpe's amazing opportunity in London involves an idea first perfected by Communist mass theatre.
The 32-year-old design agency owner runs a start-up business called MakeLight, which riffs on those stadiums filled with Dear Leader's adoring acolytes holding aloft cardboard panels to create vast, patriotic images.
Fast-forward to London 2012, and Alpe's concept is to do the same thing, but with smartphones. She calls it "making people pixels". A stadium full of fans at, say, the O2 Arena in London, would download an app at a rock concert, configured to make each smartphone a single pixel. That would make one huge picture and one huge shared experience. As a brand-builder by trade, she can see how that could appeal.
What about the gaps between the phones? No trouble, says Alpe. The brain compensates for that.
O2, the British mobile network operator and smartphone vendor, loved the idea, and told MakeLight to pitch for a place at the super-funky Wayra incubator facility, just off Goodge St, central London, in one of those distressed industrial spaces creative types love.
"That was the game-changer," says Alpe of MakeLight's acceptance for a nine-month stint under Wayra's wing. "Before, it was just an idea."
And now here she is, ensconced in her open-plan cubicle with chief technology officer Nick Redwood, surrounded by other hand-picked entrepreneurs with bright ideas, and the incubator's eclectic furniture, table tennis tables and an old-style London telephone box.
In one sense, Wayra is just another incubator. They exist in every city that fancies itself as an innovation hub, and just as Wellington has Lightning Lab or Auckland The Icehouse, Wayra isn't so much a guarantee of success as a leg-up. But as the brainchild of the chief executive at the Spanish giant Telefonica, owner of O2, Wayra has outposts throughout South America and Europe.
It's an experiment not only in nurturing new ideas, but in helping a multi-national remember how to be nimble.
Wayra has a small equity stake in MakeLight, but "they're careful to ensure our autonomy so we can cut our own deals and not be held back," says Alpe. "It's not corporate rhetoric. It really is 'how does this work?"'
She'd have been just as happy if such opportunities had appeared in New Zealand. But she was already splitting her time between Britain and Auckland, doing design and brand work - from Westpac's display at the Mystery Creek Fieldays through to clients in London.
She is also one of a loose-knit mafia of New Zealand businesswomen - some recently arrived, others long-established - who have coalesced into a network that keeps alive their Kiwi-ness while successfully navigating business ventures, often in areas far from the traditional food and fibre exports that still make up most of New Zealand's trade with the former Mother Country.
One such Kiwi, self-described "serial entrepreneur" Melissa Clark-Reynolds of Wellington, found that moving to Britain meant doing the student flat thing all over again.
After two years researching ideas for a "weightless export", she settled on an online children's game with an environmental theme.
She moved in part because New Zealand's broadband speeds - particularly upload rather than download speeds - weren't up to the mark for a global online business.
She also applied and became the only Kiwi to be chosen for Springboard, a start-up programme at Cambridge University.
"The three of us pitched up, rented the most disgusting flat, worse than when I was at Massey [University in Palmerston North]. It had slugs, spiders and rats in the wall," she recalls, over drinks at Brumus, a smart hotel watering-hole in the Haymarket, opposite what is still London's ugliest building, the NZ High Commission.
"We pitched well, we already had some capital, and we could add value in the UK."
Britain also proved an easier sell than the United States, where she initially looked to launch.
A few months on, she rented out their Roseneath villa and moved to London with husband Mike Eastwood and 12-year-old daughter Grace.
They all bought bikes and began the rigmarole of trying to open a bank account in the arcane British banking system, something Clark-Reynolds says she has yet to crack. Today her MiniMonos game is in the first stages of monetisation. Gift cards are in store at supermarket giant Sainsbury's, and the adventurous monkeys are the fourth most popular online kids' game in Britain.
Clark-Reynolds is confident the site will have 1 million players within 12 months, and is already planning a launch in Brazil. The business model requires only 1 to 3 per cent of gamers to be making purchases to succeed commercially.
"It's happened because we are here," she says of the London move, although MiniMonos development will continue to be based in New Zealand "forever" as far as she is concerned.
"The advantage of Wellington, not necessarily New Zealand, is a pile of things," she says. "We had to live somewhere that has fibre, good public transport, and access to design and games graduates. It had to be Wellington."
Even the TV commercials now playing on British stations were made on Courtenay Place.
Yet Britain was the place for the breakthrough.
"We've got real pressure to go to Silicon Valley, like that's the only place to raise capital," says Clark-Reynolds.
"That's probably true if you're a white 20-year-old with a maths degree. But it's got to be personal."
She calls this the "not bad" factor. When Britons hear a Kiwi say something's "not bad", they know it's "pretty good". When Americans hear "not bad", they wonder "how bad?".
As we talk, it becomes clear Brumus is not just a hotel bar, but is this evening a meeting place for other Kiwi businesswomen who are making London work for them.
Among them is Emma Loisel, a long-time expatriate and venture capital investor whose geography degree at the University of Auckland morphed into a masters in criminology in Melbourne, followed by work as a corporate fraud investigator in London. That taught her about due diligence, what to look for in a business, and led her to practice management at KPMG in Britain, leading to some very high-quality mentors and what amounted to a "personal MBA" in business administration.
From there she formed a media agency start-up, now owned by Microsoft, which grew to £28 million revenue in three years. These days she has six active investments on the go, ranging from the Yoomi self-warming baby bottle through to a stake in supplying high-quality roasted coffee to London chains.
She now has a healthy distance on New Zealand, a country she describes as "a small place with a huge network".
An "old-fashioned capitalist who likes to see a business make money", Loisel says she is over the obsession with start-ups and looks for businesses that either have a track record or, if they're brand new, a credible revenue model.
"Everyone thinks early-stage and starting businesses is the holy grail," she says. "But from my point of view, there's a lot of money being thrown into start-ups. They'll say they're worth a million pounds, but when you say to them 'what's your revenue model?', they look ... like 'oh, you're so boring'.
"I've seen the same business idea three times in the last five years. None had a revenue model."
There's a warning in there too for New Zealand businesses that believe they're on to the next big thing. Within a mile of our lunch spot in Soho is "Silicon Roundabout", an area being developed as London's answer to "the Valley".
"Lots of New Zealand companies think they've found something new, and I will tell them there are three in Soho doing the same thing," says Loisel.
However she likes the fact that New Zealand companies tend to survive by living her basic philosophy of business: operating with limited resources, which forces them to innovate. "That's New Zealand summed up."
She has less time for expatriate New Zealanders considering investing in a new business. "I tell them 'go and find a 64-year-old [owner-operator] who wants out'."
Entrepreneurialism, she says, isn't about start-ups. "It's about growth." It's about taking an existing company with cashflow and profitability and restarting it.
"The question is, what can you develop on top of it and how do you internationalise it?"
Very often, she suggests, the best people to internationalise a successful domestic, New Zealand company will be those who are coming back from the outside world. "Use people who are international," she says. "The best people to get businesses out of New Zealand are people who have networks outside the country."
A few blocks away at Coutts private bank is Bronwen Horton, the founder of the New Zealand Business Women's Network.
Part social gathering, part corporate opportunity, part ethnic and gender enclave, the group has grown organically to sit alongside much older Kiwi institutions in Britain, such as the New Zealand Society and the Maori association, Ngati Ranana, with its history of more than 50 years.
"We're talking business, flicking to something personal, or about our families," says Horton.
"We're discussing every aspect of life in one meeting.
"We're not just sitting down and swapping business cards."
Network members - there are 750 on the database - were prime movers in mobilising fundraising efforts for Christchurch, Horton's home town.
They are also on hand as an honour guard for another great New Zealand contribution to London culture: The wine and food revolution that has transformed everything from the previously awful coffee to the legendarily bad food, which has now become hard to find.
The day we meet, Loisel is heading off to a function at Peter Gordon's new London restaurant, Kopapa.
On one hand, says Horton, New Zealand is a far easier place to do business than Britain. Most aspects of the bureaucracy are simpler and the competition is less intense.
But the trade-off is the size of the market. "You don't have the population or the mass market."
Perhaps the most successful in this group is Katherine Corich, who founded Sysdoc in New Zealand in 1986.
The privately held company's turnover is in the tens of millions of dollars and it has taken its unique blend of change and information management, training, process improvement and documentation to the world.
With offices in Britain, the US and Australia as well as New Zealand, the most exotic project location so far is almost certainly Kazakhstan.
"We still have a thriving New Zealand business," says Corich, but most of the time she is based in a converted mews near Paddington Station, which from the outside looks like somebody's home and on the inside is a hive of multilingual hipsters with laptops hard at work.
"It's because of that we've been able to globalise and bring business back to New Zealand," she says at a meeting over coffee, delayed only by the inevitable confusion occasionally created by her running diaries in both New Zealand and British time-zones.
"If you build successfully in your home territory, you should be brave enough if you're the founder to look at other options for expansion," she says.
That, in turn, means getting your New Zealand business to a state where others can manage it.
Now, each Sysdoc territory has its own chief executive.
She likes to hire New Zealanders internationally for their "can-do attitude", but notes the shortcomings of an education system that leaves most Kiwis unable to deal in any language other than English.
"I would love to see New Zealand really encourage language learning," she says, with Maori an obvious place to start.
"It's not until you speak another language that you get inside the head of another culture."
In part, English is why New Zealanders can succeed in Britain. They can exist in one language, and apart from Australia, there is no other country where residency is comparatively easy to obtain.
Corich is a fan of the way the New Zealand Business Women's Network has created a hub for Kiwi women in London, and stresses it's more about the business than about the women.
"Rather than a sisterhood, it's a group of astute Kiwi businesswomen who get how to globalise," she says.
"How to put yourself in a market with much higher levels of capital and much greater reach into global markets. You can feel the energy of being here."
Doing business in London: Insights from Kiwi women
* Britain is easier to break into than the US market. Why? Because Kiwis are a known quantity to British people. The US also has much stricter visa requirements, despite crackdowns that mean young professionals now face a much tougher time getting permission to live and work in Britain. "You need to be seen as local," says Sysdoc's Katherine Corich. "Even though our roots are in New Zealand and we're proudly Kiwi, we also wanted to create a business that Britons would be proud of. The common theme of NZ companies that have been successful in Britain is that we've embraced the Bri-wi thing".
* "You don't have to move the company [from New Zealand], but you do have to move someone," says MiniMonos "alpha monkey" Melissa Clark-Reynolds.
* "London is the perfect place to pitch to European investors," says Clark-Reynolds. "We didn't go to Europe to pitch to anyone. It was all in the Square Mile that's the City of London".
* "Entrepreneurs trying to break in here should come up, do some reconnaissance, make connections, and do it well in advance" - Bronwen Horton, New Zealand Business Women's Network.
And on the realities of New Zealand:
* "There's an incredible richness in NZ that's not getting to the boardroom," says Corich of the quality of governance at home versus Britain. "We would get some incredible decision-making that would help us globally ..."
* Another London Kiwi businesswoman is blunter: "What New Zealand boards need is more r&d, by which I mean 'retirement and death"'. The old boys' network is holding us back, she reckons.
* "We are passionately New Zealanders and we champion that ... but I worked out early on that our market was global and here [London]" - Joanna Alpe, Makelight.

And here's the original and only photo of this recipe from 2007, which wasn't bad at all!
(Makes four servings, recipe for Olive-Caper Sauce adapted from pâté di olive at Briciole.)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. olive oil for sauteing chicken
2 tsp. poultry season to rub on chicken breasts
Sauce Ingredients:
3/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 T chopped red onion or shallots
2 T capers, chopped
1 T chopped fresh thyme (or use 1 tsp. dried thyme)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T extra virgin olive oil
Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts. Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise and use a meat mallet (or something heavy) to pound the chicken pieces one at a time, until each is about 3/8 inch thick. (If you put chicken inside a heavy plastic bag when you pound, it keeps it from breaking apart so much.) Rub chicken on both sides with small amount of poultry seasoning.

What is triamcinolone injection (Kenalog-40 Injection)?
Triamcinolone injection is a steroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Triamcinolone injection is injected into the joint space to treat inflammation of the joints or tendons to treat arthritis, bursitis, or epicondylitis (tennis elbow). It is usually given in these conditions only as a short-term treatment of a severe or aggravated episode.
Triamcinolone injection is injected into soft tissues of the body to treat certain skin disorders caused by autoimmune conditions such as lupus, psoriasis, lichen planus, and others.
Triamcinolone injection may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of triamcinolone injection?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- fast, slow, or uneven heart rate;
- feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
- swelling, rapid weight gain;
- dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion, chest pain);
- problems with your vision;
- eye swelling, redness, discomfort, or drainage (may be signs of infection);
- severe depression, changes in mood or behavior;
- seizure (convulsions); or
- muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.
Less serious side effects may include:
- nausea, bloating, appetite changes;
- stomach or side pain;
- headache, sleep problems (insomnia);
- acne, scaling, or other skin changes;
- a wound that is slow to heal;
- thinning hair;
- bruising or swelling;
- sweating more than usual; or
- irregular menstrual periods.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Kenalog-40 Injection (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about triamcinolone injection?
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to triamcinolone, or if you have a condition called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
Before receiving triamcinolone injection, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of infection (including tuberculosis), a thyroid disorder, a muscle disorder, stomach or intestinal problems, or if you have recently had a heart attack.
Long-term use of steroids can also cause harmful effects on your eyes. Your doctor may want you to have regular eye exams while you are receiving triamcinolone injection.
Steroids can affect growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication.
Steroids can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections, making it easier for you to get sick from being around others who are ill, or from bacteria in a skin wound. Use caution to prevent illness, infection, or injury.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while you are being treated with triamcinolone injection. The live vaccine may not work as well during this time, and may not fully protect you from disease.
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroids.

A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
Localitation is perfect, in the downtown and near train and bus station. Spacious flat with a nice view. Needs more kitchenware, there isnt a toaster or microwawe. Is a 3th floor without lift. The street in summer is noisy and if u sleep with the windows open is sometimes molest. The bath needs a bath screen
Incredible views of the main square and nice high-ceiling apartment directly in the heart of the Stare Masto. The furniture and other home furnishings aren't of the highest quality but the apartment is spacious and has lots of room for a group of at least 4 people. Lack of air conditioning can be a problem in the summer months and the music from the square can be distracting but this overall is an excellent choice for Krakow for the location.
The appartment is nice but maybe too small for 8 people. Martin is a nice host, and the location is good. Everything was ok.
A very conveniently placed flat between old square and the castle, practically very close to every historic place. Flat is also well furbished with enough space up to three peoples. Downstairs there is a bakery where you can have a fresh breakfast.
So all fine, the only think is the communication (slow in reply) which need to be improved.
A good size clean and quiet apartment. Slight smell coming from the bathroom and the pictures are from the flat below (we think) not the top floor one where we stayed as the kitchen is slightly different. However this didnt affect our stay. Great views, location and the staff were very helpful finding us a cot at short notice and sorting the cable TV late in the evening.
lovely apartment great view across the Maly Rynek and well placed for a lot of local bars , restaurants , cafes and shops and i nearly forgot the market square , old city apartment company office staff i found to be very helpful and knowledgeable also a big thank you to Daniel who drove us from the airport to the office and apartment and back to the airport , the only downside was the stairs to the apartment but that did not spoil our stay , so a big thank you to everyone at the company
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Three of us stayed at this apartment.
It is in a fantastic location and is in a very beautiful building.
The apartment is very well laid out and is well equipped.
We really loved staying here.
2 teeny-weeny improvements - provide a tea pot and an iron. Otherwise a perfect place to stay.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.
The apartment was not ready when we arrived the decorators were still working. We were asked at the office to return in 2 hours and were taken to the 'house of beer' for refreshments. When we were then taken to the apartment the workmen were just finishing. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and ideal for three couples. It was not however the apartment we had reserved having reviewed the advertised photographs! Despite this I would highly recommend the apartment and would return for another break.

I have to admit the recap thing is pretty cool...
I have to admit the recap thing is pretty cool...
The Yahoo recap of Amanda vs. Matt was very fair but I thought mentioning the humiliation of getting beat by your wife was a little harsh on Yahoo's part.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Whats funny is I was starting Owen Daniels all week, but I was watching the pregame stuff and a sideline reporter came on and mentioned that Keller was going to be active (he was Questionable)
Since Keller's prediction was high I made the switch, as usual that's what I get for listening to the "Experts" I should know I'm smarter then them by now right?
I would have been pissed if that's what cost me the game but luckily even if I had put Owen Daniels in I would have lost anyhow.
My Vick in a Box recorded the second-highest point total this week and beat Watch THEE Throne 125.55 - 90.60. My Vick in a Box beat their projections and scored 16.4% more than their projected 107.86 points, while Watch THEE Throne failed to meet their projections and scored only 89.9% of a projected 100.81. Tom Brady led Watch THEE Throne with 23.90 points while the Philadelphia Eagles Defense racked up 17.00. My Vick in a Box starts off the season with a 1-0 record, good enough for second place. Watch THEE Throne begins at 0-1 and in ninth place.
My Vick in a Box Smooth Moves
Watch THEE Throne Regret Tracker
- The New York Jets Defense was the highest-scoring DEF in the league this week with 20.50 points.
- Jimmy Graham had the most points of any TE in the league this week with 14.50.
- The 21.20 points scored by Stevan Ridley was the third-highest score of any RB in the league this week.
- My Vick in a Box saw the majority of their starters (5 of 9) beat their projected point total.
- David Akers exceeded scoring projections by 131.9%, with 16.00 points against a projected 6.90.
What If
- Left Randall Cobb on the bench, where he scored 13.70 points to beat his scoring projection by 312.7%, the fifth-highest percentage in the league.
- Watch THEE Throne had no luck at the K position, losing the point battle 16.00 - 6.00 to My Vick in a Box.
- 5 of the starters on Watch THEE Throne scored less than their projected points.
- With 4.00 points versus a projected 9.29, Rashad Jennings scored only 43.1% of his projected point total.
- Both of the starting RBs scored below their projected points.
- Besides Watch THEE Throne, My Vick in a Box would have defeated nine other teams this week.
- My Vick in a Box would have had to score 40.86 fewer points to lose to all teams in the league this week.
- Watch THEE Throne would have lost to seven other teams besides My Vick in a Box this week.
- If Watch THEE Throne had scored 5.91 fewer points, they would have lost to all teams in the league this week.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
what is soa?
I got spanked for playing Stafford over Rivers...whoever is doing the recap don't like the dogs....

Coates: Obama appointee told me to stop pursuing race-neutral enforcement of Voting Rights Act
posted at 10:18 am on September 24, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
PJTV is broadcasting the testimony of Christopher Coates to the Civil Rights Commission live this morning, but they already have his opening statement available in PDF format at Pajamas Media. It contains at least one bombshell, which is that Obama appointee Loretta King ordered Coates to stop asking applicants whether they supported race-neutral enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The question became necessary because of resistance in the Civil Rights division from career attorneys to enforce the law when it resulted in African-American defendants rather than victims, an attitude that Coates first encountered in the Bush era:
Opposition within the Voting Section was widespread to taking actions under the VRA on behalf of white voters in Noxubee County, MS, the jurisdiction in which Ike Brown was and is the Chairman of the local Democratic Executive Committee. In 2003, white voters and candidates complained to the Voting Section that elections had been administered in a racially discriminatory manner and asked that federal observers be sent to the primary run-off elections. Career attorneys in the Voting Section recommended that we not even go to Noxubee County for the primary run-off to do election coverage, but that opposition to going to Noxubee was overridden by the Bush Administration's CRD Front Office. I went on the coverage and while traveling to Mississippi, the Deputy Chief who was leading that election coverage asked me, "can you believe that we are going to Mississippi to protect white voters?" What I observed on that election coverage was some of the most outrageous and blatant racially discriminatory behavior at the polls committed by Ike Brown and his allies that I have seen or had reported to me in my thirty-three plus years as a voting rights litigator.
Eventually, a judge agreed with Coates' assessment after the Department of Justice won an injunction against Brown and the Democratic Executive Committee, which was held up on appeal. That was the first time that the DoJ had pursued prosecution under the VRA against African-American defendants, and it rankled many within the CRD. When Coates took over the division, he began asking in job interviews whether applicants could work on similar cases in the future, but got slapped down for it:
In the spring of 2009, Ms. King, who had by then been appointed Acting AAG for Civil Rights by the Obama Administration, called me to her office and specifically instructed me that I was not to ask any other applicants whether they would be willing to, in effect, race-neutrally enforce the VRA. Ms. King took offense that I was asking such a question of job applicants and directed me not to ask it because she does not support equal enforcement of the provisions of the VRA and had been highly critical of the filing and prosecution of the Ike Brown case.
The American view of the rule of law is clear: laws are to be enforced equally on all people, and prosecutions should not be predicated on ethnicity or other biases. The court ruled that Ike Brown broke the law. If so, why wouldn't Justice prosecute and enforce the VRA for all American citizens?
I will continue to read through Coates' testimony and update the post as necessary, but this alone should create questions about the politicization of justice and at Justice in this administration.

DJ Fred
DJ Fred was born before the Beatles hit the Cavern Club. Damn, that's old! One day in the early 70s he bought his first Led Zeppelin shirt in Bar Harbor, got into the van, cranked up Foghat on the eight track player, and never looked back! You may have stumbled over Fred at Husson College, or remember buying a car stereo from him at DeOrsey's before he became a huge radio star. Yeah, Fred's living the dream, and can't believe that he's paid to do this stuff.

Athletic Giving
Consistently ranking among the top ten Division II colleges and universities for the most individual championships, Southern Connecticut State University prides itself on athletic excellence. At the heart of our success is our active membership in a number of esteemed athletic conferences, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Northeast-10 Conference. Since our programs compete at the national level, our student-athletes provide a high profile means of bringing pride and public recognition to the university.
Success as a student athlete requires a balance between academics and athletics and our students have found that balance. During the fall 2012 semester, the Owls' 395 student-athletes combined to record an all-time high semester grade point average of 3.057.
Our student athletes perform best when they are not burdened by financial concerns. To maintain their academic achievements and commitment to athletics, many rely on the financial support of alumni and friends. With your contributions to athletic scholarships and programs, we can continue the tradition of excellence by providing our student-athletes with the necessary tools to achieve success.

text: I have a good camera (10 mega pixel cannon...the best and most expensive point and shoot that best buy had) that I use for all my pictures. However, it is heavy and bulky and not something that I want wax all over. I want a good pocket camera to take into the bee yard to capture in hive pics and random bee yard pics/video (like the nasty hive attacking a red wasp yesterday). I was looking at sams and they had thiscamera or a almost identical one for 80-90 bucks...Is it any good or do I need to look elsewhere? I like cannon...but am open. Since this is going to be a bee yard camera I do not want to spend more than 100 bucks. Between wax and a rough environment I do not want something really nice...but at the same time I do not want a piece of junk. Help?


text: Someone awhile back posted a link to a site that had a really good chart with flowers and their pollen color. I can't find it right now, but here's my question. My bees started bringing in pollen for the first time yesterday afternoon, we had our first day in the 60's since fall. Not alot of it, but it was bright orangish-yellow color (more orange), would that be maple? Maples are about the only thing that would be blooming this early in my area as far as I know. Thanks, John.

Very good and nice apartement! Thank You Ulrika for Your best Support!
We had a very good time at Ulrikas apartment and the whole family is already looking forward to coming back next week. Nice and neat, quite big apartment with a terrace for all to use. Located in a very nice area of Florence close to the Porta Romana (if you like to be some distance away from the millions of people downtown). Highly recommend
We stayed for 10 days in Ulrika's apartment "Ponte Vecchio". The apartment has two spacious rooms with attached bathrooms. Everything was brand new and spotlessly clean which highly appreciated. The apartment has its own terrace where we enjoyed the morning sun while the rest of the day we could also sit out there as it was very cool and shady. The location was perfect being walking distance from all the main attractions but yet in a quiet area with a lot of greenery and great eating places. Ulrika and her husband Antonio were very friendly and helpful hosts. We highly recommend this place :-)
Amazing, clean apartment near all major tourist spots and the city center. Very pleased with my stay in this apartment and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.
Very spacious apartment with two bedrooms and a kitchen (no living room). Comfortable beds and cute little balcony plus access to communal deck with chairs, flowers, etc. It was cold in Florence when we were there so we didn't use either. Good location with good public transportation connections. Ulrika is super nice and everything was as promised though the internet is a bit frustrating when more than one computer is on it. The apartment is clearly not someone's home and it is not cosy but it's clean and efficient. Light bulbs are the energy saving kinds which makes the apartment seem somewhat clinical and cold.
Accommodation perfect for family of four or two couples.
Everyhing was perfect, communication concering arrival and destination, also the apartment, clean and practical. The facility was as good as new with a perfect position to visit Firenze. Best redards Andrea and Jürgen
Nice apartment, good location and helpful owner - thanks Ulrika!
Very nice apartment and perfect service!
Appartamento molto carino, pulito e funzionale in una bella casa in posizione comodissima. La proprietaria è gentilissima e disponibile.
Todo fue fenomenal. Ulrika nos facilitó toda la estancia desde el primer momento. El check in nos lo hizo muy fácil al llegar un poco tarde, nos facilitó consejos y nos atendió con cualquier cosa que necesitásemos. La casa estupenda, mejor que en las fotos, muy limpia y amplia. La zona muy tranquila, en Florencia es un punto a considerar porque en la misma calle un poco más abajo hay mucho jaleo, con súper cerca y a 10 minutos del Puente Vechio.
A la partida nos reservó el taxi para recogernos. Así que todo hizo que pasáramos unos días estupendos en esa maravillosa ciudad.

Reviews for Lemon Thyme Chicken
"Really good. However, I think my chicken breasts were too big--they took forever to cook and I had to add broth just to keep pan from being completely dry. Sauce ended up being so brown my husband thought it was beef broth! Haha but we will try it again. Still had great flavor."
"I used lemon thyme from my herb garden; maybe a teaspoon. Talk about packing a punch!! It was too sharp of a taste for my boyfriend with the lemon juice and lemon thyme and I used a strong chicken bouillon but I can't get enough of it."
"This is sooooo good! Packed with flavor & easy to make. We'll be making this again!~ Theresa"
"I have made it a ton of times already!!! It is one of my favorites!!!"
"Good recipe. I added sauteed mushrooms to the dish. The tang of the lemon was prefect on rice."
"loved it."
"Delicious with fresh thyme and lemon juice!"
"If you don't like the flavor of thyme, you will not like this. My husband and I did not care for this at all."

defecating immediately after a person defecated previously in the same bathroom. generally said bathroom features a single toilet. however, in the case of particularly odoriferous defecators, cross branding may occur where said bathroom features several stalls. cross branding is the effect by which the two distinct odors combine to form a single, gag-inducing odor.
Guy One: I had to poo so badly that I used the bathroom immediately after Tom finished taking a dump. The distinct odors of our feces combined to form one foul smell.
Guy Two: Wow, that sounds like some serious cross branding.

The Best Tailgate Party in America
Jackson Winters is back a ready to take on the nation as he goes in search of America's best tailgate.
While my cohorts in college spent their time dawdling in the libraries, the cafés and the classrooms around campus, I always felt most comfortable in the parking lots on game day. I educated myself over barbeques; knowledge came fast in the form of a can. I crossed the stage with an honors degree in tailgating, my major in a glass, with a minor in ass.
There were never enough Saturdays for me, so when the call came to trek across this great country in search of the best tailgate party, I grew giddy as a kid at Christmas. I was out the door before my editor had even finished the sentence. When I got home, the receiver was still dangling off the table. Tailgating is my calling; it is my god, my savior and my religion. Another season of Saturdays was upon me, and my first stop had been a long time coming.
EverBank Field – Florida/Georgia Classic
Scene: 10/10 Girls: 9/10 Fans: 8/10 Food: 7/10
Drink of Choice: Bourbon
There was no getting around it; Jacksonville, Florida was a must. Rumors of three long debaucherous days descending upon the American South were too great to pass up. The annual meeting of Georgia and Florida has long been considered the "biggest outdoor cocktail party in the world," but that's probably too formal a word.
For anyone else in attendance, I was the guy in the frilly pink tutu outside The Landing grumbling about horseshoes. All Hallows' Eve coinciding with tailgating, and naturally horseshoes, had proven to be a major setback. At a buck a point and a beer every five, playing six games against some very serious ringers from Georgia had me drunk, broke and dressed as a princess, the last being an unfortunate consequence of a side bet with my own friends. Ten hours under the Florida sun had taken its toll and I was brooding.
All around me was chaos. Any time after 11, the Jacksonville Landing is a breeding ground of Fun. Beer flows frivolously, hordes of students weave in and out of crowds, jockeying for position and eyeing the next packed bar. With Halloween thrown into the mix, the whole thing looks like a circus, something straight out of a Hunter Thompson novel.
The days are no different. Students spilling into the parking lots, parking lots spilling out into the street and beer spilling every which way but up. For three long days there are no definitive lines or boundaries in Jacksonville; the whole city turns into one giant backyard barbeque, the true Elysium of the tailgating elite.
Husky Stadium – University of Washington Huskies
Scene: 10/10 Girls: 8/10 Fans: 7/10 Food: 7/10
Drink of Choice: Cuba Libres
Breaking out, bleary-eyed, into the sun is disorienting enough, but stuck somewhere in the middle of a Pacific waterway with little recollection of why you are there is not something you can immediately come to terms with.
There had been a football game. Evidence littered the deck of the boat and floated carelessly alongside us, but I had no clear memories of seeing any sort of on-field action. The portable TV, toppled and cracked in the corner, was still showing highlights, and I sat down looking for anything that would bring back images out of the carnage of the previous day.
My last clear memory is the lights of the stadium exploding into the orange-blue twilight. Anything after is a tangled mess of passing boats, echoes booming across the bay, cheers from a distant crowd and innumerable trips in and out of the startlingly cold water. Flashes of scantily clad women diving from the deck, drinking from the bottle, shooting fireworks out into the dead summer night and finally passing out amid the booze, the blondes and the beer are all that are left. Sailgating with a raucous Husky crowd had long been a dream of mine, and having done it, it still is, every year, from now until I can remember it.
Tiger Stadium – Louisiana State University Tigers
Scene: 8/10 Girls: 8/10 Fans: 8/10 Food: 10/10
Drink of Choice: Sazerac
Sitting alone, deadline looming, my eyes are bloodshot, my mouth is dry and my body is covered in purple paint. Everything itches. Who convinced me to do this?
Washing off the sin of a Louisiana State tailgate is no small feat when it's a visible and likely toxic paint. I have to stop wagering personal pride when consuming adult beverages.
Somewhere in the confusion of Friday night, I bet a group of rabid LSU fans that their SEC upset of Tennessee was in 2002. Four clicks on the iPhone later, I was wrong, off by a year and now obligated to paint my entire body purple for Saturday's game.
Which, for the first 16 hours, was a blessing, one of those football miracles that got me in on the ground floor of Louisiana tailgating, accepted as one of their own. Every happy fan handed me a beer or bourbon. I was instructed to help myself to the mouth-watering Cajun cuisine. No one questioned my undying love for the Tigers; anyone painted purple in the parking lots of LSU is considered untouchable. A VIP of the college crowds.
Everything after that has been a nightmare; my bed sheets are purple, my doorknobs are purple, almost every surface of my bathroom is purple. I'm itchy and stiff, my skin cracking with every quick movement. I've showered, I've shaved and I've showered again, and I'm still decidedly purple.
If I wasn't so god-damn impressed with the LSU tailgate, I'd be furious; fortunately, Louisiana knows how to throw a party, and being purple forever might be a relatively small price to pay.
Lambeau Field – Green Bay Packers
Scene: 8/10 Girls: 6/10 Fans: 10/10 Food: 7/10
Drink of Choice: Rhinelander Beer
January weather is notoriously cold in Green Bay, and Sunday morning is no time to be wandering the streets in a Bears jersey asking for directions to Lambeau.
"Oh ya, just hop on the highway and drive back to Chicago."
"Just like the real Bears; they can't find the field either, or at least the end zone."
I remind them that we still hold a six-game edge in the long-standing rivalry, and they wonder aloud if Jay Cutler is also good at counting because he certainly is not very good at football. As I walk away, I hear them counting interceptions like they were on Sesame Street, the ha-ha-has following me for almost half a block.
The rest of the town is completely deserted; 102,000 Cheeseheads on a vast migration to the parking lots and pickup trucks surrounding The House that Brett Built. By 11 A.M. the whole area is full-blown beer-guzzling, barbeque-burning cookout. Even in the depths of winter, Packers fans flood the streets, their cheers and chants breaking through the frigid air, every beer building the chorus louder. Boisterous drunks from the backs of trucks conduct the ensemble cast in song, while revelers young and old prep their beers for the last shotgun relay of the season. By kickoff, the whole mess has exploded, a proverbial wave of green and yellow flocking toward the entrances of the field, half-stumbling, half-slurring, all in the name of another Sunday in Packer country.
University of Phoenix Stadium – Oddly, the Oakland Raiders
Scene: 7/10 Girls: 5/10 Fans: 9/10 Food: 6/10
Drink of Choice: The dirtiest swill sold in the highest quantity at the cheapest price.
We were beginning to doubt the sincerity of the Cardinals. A typically nice day in Arizona had yielded little enthusiasm from the crowd. For all the people, the tents, the beers and the barbeques burning, the energy had died on the vine, lost somewhere in the quiet calm of another 100-degree day. We'd heard Glendale was a retirement community; we just didn't expect an Early Bird Special vibe in the parking lot.
Then it happened. Somewhere in the distance a dull roar broke the heat. Like their namesake bird, Arizona fans popped up from their chairs, heads darting in all directions, looking for signs of the impending danger. Somewhere on the edge of the crowd there's a commotion, a chant, slow at first then growing in intensity. Raaaaiders, Raaaaiders. The Nation had arrived.
Looking like something out of a Mad Max remake, the Black and Silver marched into a sea of red, infiltrating casual crowds of Cardinals with menacing smiles and spiked armor of every make. Wrestling fans would appreciate a Legion of Doom reference, but honestly, Raiders fans are more numerous and horrifying. Their arrival signaled a new life, both sides battling for position; the Cardinals threatened on home turf, the Raiders waging a war in enemy territory. The next three hours were a frenzied clash of fandom, neither side giving way until the dying moments before kickoff, when the Cardinals retreated into the relative safety of the stadium and the Raiders staked their claim to the spoils, the last pregame beers before kickoff. On the field, the Cardinals won that day, but the Raiders fans came, they saw and they conquered, bringing the war home to Arizona in the stands.

Bill Gates:
Mosquitos, malaria and education
Bill Gates hopes to solve some of the world's biggest problems using a new kind of philanthropy. In a passionate and, yes, funny 18 minutes, he asks us to consider two big questions and how we might answer them. (And see the Q&A on the TED Blog.)

A friend can get me all the food grade buckets I want for FREE. The catch is they had pickles in them. Can I rinse them with Clorox so I can use them for HONEY?
Thank You
A friend can get me all the food grade buckets I want for FREE. The catch is they had pickles in them. Can I rinse them with Clorox so I can use them for HONEY?
Thank You
Nothing get out the pickel smell.
It even stays in glass.
Old Guy in Alabama
I'm with jrbbees.
I had some of those buckets just for water and even 3 years later if they warmed up even a little you could still smell the pickles. I tried putting baking soda in one of the glass pickle jars and even that didn't work and I even flipped it over thinking the smell was in the lid. Usually the people in the bakery department at your nicer grocery stores will let you have their old frosting buckets if you clean them. That's what I use along with a honey gate.
I know free is better, but are local Menards has them for 3.97each. Best price I have found on them.
The question about the Menard's bucket is whether it's food grade or not. I'm betting not.
I stay away from buckets that have had pickels in them BUT I have friends that use them all the time and after a few seasons of honey the smell is gone but the lids will still smell.
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
I had some pickle buckets in the past too and never could get the smell out of them. For used food grade buckets I get them from a local doughnut place. They have various sizes.
lowes sells food grade buckets. I forget what the price is, probably around 5 bucks. I"m not talking about the blue colored buckets. the food grade buckets are white with the blue Lowe's logo on them.
The local walmart saves the frosting buckets and sells them for a dollar each, but i have heard of them being given away for free.
The local walmart competitior varies in their policy based on who is working. They usually just throw them away, so i have been given a few, but one of the workers is convinced that they are not allowed to give them away, so it's hit or miss on whether i get any there or not.
I have never had a good experience with anything that has previously contained pickles.
I went to the deli in my local grocery store and got frosting buckets for nothing. They were throwing them away.
Thank You ALL for the comments. I guess I will be passing up on these buckets and checking with some other suppliers.
I can't believe anyone would actually buy buckets. Any place that decorates cakes has tons of them that they toss out. I can get all I want from WalMArt, Meijer, Kroger, etc. I usually ask them to save them for me and then give the hourly employee a bear of honey and they are tickled!
i heard a rumor that if you put clay in the buckets it gets rid of the pickle smell
Our local oriental restaurant happily provided sauce and soy buckets. With a little effort, a small scale keeper can find all they need within a season and they last forever.
Check the recycling symbol on the bottom of the bucket. The quickest and most reliable way to check for food safety is by consulting the recycling number. This number will be between 1 and 7 and will be stamped inside a triangle of arrows. As a general rule, the numbers that are safe for use with food are 1, 2, 4, and 5.
The best type of plastic for use in long-term food storage is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is indicated by the "2" symbol. HDPE is one of the most stable and inert forms of plastic, and all plastic buckets sold specifically for food storage will be made from this material.
Other types of plastic acceptable for food storage include PETE, LDPE, and polypropylene (PP). These plastics are represented by the numbers 1, 4, and 5 respectively.
An exception to this rule is bio-plastics, which are categorized under the catch-all symbol "7." Bio-plastics are plastic-like materials that are synthesized from plant-based sources such as corn. These materials are nonreactive and can be used to store food, but note that not all plastics marked as "7" are bio-plastics.

My sister claims that if you wash pickle jars with baking soda it will remove the pickle smell. I am not sure if it would work on plastic but it is worth a try...... I think the baking soda neutralizes the acid residue from the pickles and thus removes the smell.
I understand that they make good weights if you fill them with water to hold down your hive in a wind storm. At least . . . I read that somewhere.
No one famous.

Avondale Guineas should provide tasty appetiser for the main course next month.
If Ellerslie bosses had tried to conjure up a perfect Derby prelude they would have pretty much come up with Sunday's Avondale Guineas.
The $85,000 group two feature over 2100m is shaping as one of the best Derby trials in recent history, with possible late entry Fix and Soriano the only two big name Derby contenders missing.
Superstar filly Habibi heads the field and looks ideally drawn at barrier five but she has some potent male firepower drawn inside her.
Waikato Guineas winner Castlzeberg has gate four and Karaka Mile winner Choice Bro barrier two, with Zinko starting from the ace.
Wellington Stakes winner Weissmuller is also back after his Te Rapa failure, with even the lightest of rain in Auckland yesterday certain to please his trainer John Kiernan.
While Weissmuller was always going to come to Ellerslie in search of right-handed experience, Castlzeberg was not a definite starter until yesterday.
Co-trainer Bob Vance had toyed with missing the Sunday's Guineas but is now in the race with the draw and jockey he wants.
Opie Bosson returns to take the ride, which Vance says was his all along even though Danielle Johnson rode Castlzeberg inch-perfectly at Te Rapa.
"Opie has always had first preference and the Derby ride is his, too, if he wants it," said Vance. A four-time Derby winning jockey himself, Vance says Castlzeberg will go into Sunday's Guineas on the fresh side.
"Obviously, we are here getting ready for the Derby so I haven't done much in the way of galloping him since Te Rapa," Vance told the Herald.
"But we have got the right draw and from there I can't see him having too many problems getting to the front."
That sets up an intriguing game of cat and mouse if the freegoer is rolling in front with the likes of Choice Bro, Zinko and, of course, Habibi stalking him.
While the Guineas will be the highlight of Sunday's meeting the Avondale Cup shapes as a crucial guide to the Auckland Cup on March 6.
It brings together Wellington Cup winner Blood Brotha and last Saturday's effortless International Stakes winner at Te Rapa in Sangster.
That win was Sangster's first since the VRC Derby 15 months earlier but he was so dominant he is now the $3 favourite for the Auckland Cup.

One of the key issues at the recent ANSI Z21/83 Committee Meeting, which writes and maintains standards for fuel gas burning appliances and equipment, was related to the proposed changes to the Z21.11.2 standard on unvented room heaters.
The proposed changes to the standard included revisions to the requirements for "universal-type" unvented heaters, which are capable of operating on propane or natural gas. The issue with these heaters is the need to ensure that the settings for the unit are consistent with the type of fuel that it is burning. Because of the differences between natural gas and propane in their energy contents and operating pressures, the wrong setting on the appliance can lead to either an under-fired or over-fired condition, either of which may lead to safety issues.
The standard is currently written to require safety performance testing for either the under-fired or over-fired condition, but not both conditions. This was considered an oversight by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and therefore the proposed changes included a requirement that every appliance would be tested for both conditions. However, before the standard could be considered by the full Z21/83 Committee, a manufacturer lodged a protest that in his opinion, the revised requirement would necessitate the use of a patented product in all units and therefore, the Z21/83 Committee would need to follow its procedures, which require that before the standard is approved, the holder of the patent state that it will either not enforce the claims in the patent, or it will license to any party the use of the patented technology for the purposes of complying with the standard.
The Z21/83 Committee voted to table the matter until more research by the Canadian Standards Association and the committee leadership could be done. It is expected that the matter will be taken up again over the next few weeks.

A classic from the past...
He's busting my balls, big pauley can we please wack him???
Grand Theft Auto LibertyCityStories is not such a bad game, yes it's has bad graphics and not such a good game engine like the others but what it introduces is a classic story we can all listen to.
It has a classic Mob story where Tony Cipriani returns to Liberty City, it has all that the orginal GTA three has but a little more. LibertyCityStories is still fun to me because of the freedom and like the playing of wacking people and the story is like in those mob movies such as "The boss of bosses" and "Good Fellas" and maybe "The God Father." (I have't seen it)
And also the fact that your back in the orginal city where Grand Theft Auto was born, it feels like home and reminds you that you travel like about five years in to your life. Wow can you beleave that???
Same old freedom and chao in the streets due to your actions, well i can't help it, BAMM! oh no the cops, 2 stars nooo...
Mark for Gameplay: B
The Graphics are old but you can't forget in on a PSP.
Mark for Graphics: B-
The sound is ok, but i love when i turn up the volume in the class, every turns around looking at me while i have the feds on my a*s. It attract alot of attension and people begin to wonder what kind of game I'm playing. I also love the theme song, i personally love the theme song, i even have it on my lime wire.
Mark for Sound: B [Introduces the showing off concept because of PSP]
The analog and be a bit of a problem sometimes, looking around is differcult as well as drive-by's.
Mark for Controls: C
-Entertainment and Life Span
Can play anywhere, even at School
Mark for Entertainment and Life Span: B
This is a classic and my opinion is it's still a good game so for those who want a classic story and that takes place in the first city, this is your game.
What I specifcly love about this game is, it's gta anywhere you want!

Gian Giudice:
Why our universe might exist on a knife-edge
The biggest surprise of discovering the Higgs boson? That there were no surprises. Gian Giudice talks us through a problem in theoretical physics: what if the Higgs field exists in an ultra-dense state that could mean the collapse of all atomic matter? With wit and charm, Giudice outlines a grim fate — and why we shouldn't start worrying just yet.

Porter: The Most Misunderstood Style of Beer
Poor porter.
If there was a contest for most misunderstood beer style, the woebegone porter would probably win. IPA's are perennial favorites, stouts are synonymous with winter, but porters are the forgotten little brother, constantly fighting for attention and respect.
A quick scan of beer literature (don't worry, I did it for you) reveals a mess of confusion about exactly what the difference is between porters and stouts. A little more reading and you start to get to the bottom of it: there is no clearly delineated difference – in fact, it's often in the eye of the beholder. Continue Reading »

In his latest column, Pats fan Bill Simmons basically admits that no matter what happens Sunday, we still own NE's soul for what happened in 08'. Either we completely crush your spirit on Sunday, or you get some minor consolation and we lose a super bowl as a 9-7 team that really had no business being there anyway.
My favorite letter:
"Q: I'm sorry, but you can't really believe that a 2012 Patriots Super Bowl win will atone for 2008. As a sports fan, you know that not all championships are equal. The 2008 Super Bowl was the equivalent of someone punching you in the face, stealing your wife and posting an Internet video of them having sex (which your friends occasionally played just to mess with you). You now meet this man in 2012 and are trying to get revenge by keying his new car. Good Luck!

If you can find out what denomination your ancestors were, and then search those churches in the areas they lived, you just might find a treasure trove of information. Religion often played a large part in the decision to immigrate, and other important choices in our ancestors life. It's only fitting that the church records delineate the moments that were important to them.
Thankfully, most churches are, and were, very diligent in their record keeping. Without some of these records, I know I would be at a brick wall on many of my ancestors.
Quote of the Day:
ARH!! I found it!

26 percent of Americans do not know that the U.S. split from Great Britain when it declared its independence, according to a Marist Poll. That 74 percent do know the correct answer is small comfort.
20 percent were unsure of which country the U.S. split from. Meanwhile, the other 6 percent mentioned France, China, Japan, Mexico, and Spain, among others. Don't imagine it's senility, either: the youngest group was the worst, with 18-29 year olds only answering correctly 60 percent of the time.
