This is a beautiful quilt and story of hope. It is wonderful you all are showing support for her recovery. God Bless you all.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is a beautiful quilt and story of hope. It is wonderful you all are showing support for her recovery. God Bless you all.
Jesus knows all my imperfections yet he still loves me. Amazing!
That is absolutely beautiful, and will help cheer her up.
Beautiful flowers for a comforting quilt to wrap her in love. Such a sad story.
Everyone can learn from this - don't skip your annual PAPs. I did for 4 years. I was lucky - the cancer had not spread into other areas, but I did have to have a hysterectomy, because the surgeon could not get clean margins in the first surgery.
So sorry for the reason for the quilt but it is truly spectacular.
what a blessing...the quilt and the love that went into it Before my brother lost his 4th and final battle to cancer February of this year, I crocheted him a large granny square afghan to use when he went for chemo, transfusions and of course home. He loved it and now his wife uses it and remembers him. I hadn't gotten to see him in 8 years and charged an airline ticket the see him 8 months before he died. He llived halfway across the USA and I am a senior on a fixed income. It was a blessing to visit for that week I got to be with them.
Thanks for sharing what you did. Beautiful.
What wonderful friends and what a beautiful quilt.
What a wonderful think to do. So beautiful. She must feel so special.
This is beautiful!! I am sure she will cherish it, and that it will give her comfort.
What a great idea to treasure your friendship. The quilt turned out lovely and will be loved for sure.
A lovely quilt, and thoughtful for your friend.

How to handle yourself in situation like Boston Marathon explosions
Security franchise offers safety tips in large crowd situations
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Moments after the explosions, it was chaos as people ran for cover. The Signal 88 Security franchise want's people to know what to do in a situation like that and offers these tips.
For those who find themselves in crowded areas, Signal 88 Security Vice President of Franchise Standards Tim Conahan points to three keys to safety: be prepared, follow directions and stay aware. "These are simple ways to ensure you stay as safe as possible," says Conahan. "With so many factors out of your control, take a few seconds to do what you can."
Signal 88 Security draws on its experience overseeing security services for events such as concerts, athletic events, NASCAR and Tough Mudder runs to provide the following personal security recommendations:
• Be Prepared Before a large event, coordinate with your family/friends where you would meet if separated. And although it's unthinkable, Conahan suggests mentally rehearsing how you would react if you were confronted by an act of violence, such as an explosion or active shooter. "Decide what objects you would choose for the best cover," advises Conahan. "If there is no cover, determine your next step. Run, hide or fight!"
• Follow Directions When you arrive at a crowded place, help maintain order by parking in designated spaces or as directed. Don't ignore signs or barricades, which are often placed to control a crowd. Once you're part of the crowd, stay safest by following its flow rather than going against it. Conahan also recommends taking a bathroom break before getting in a long line.
• Stay Aware Create a habit of scanning a room, event center, or concert hall for the nearest emergency exit when you arrive, in case you need to escape quickly. Watch out for signs of trouble, including if those around you suddenly turn to the same direction and the noise level increases. Additionally, if you see someone put down a bag and walk away, notify security personnel, law enforcement or the event organizer immediately.
• In Case of Emergency If you find yourself in a situation such as the explosions at the Boston Marathon, leave the area immediately. Leaving will reduce your risk of further injury and allows first responders to properly assist other victims.
Use these keys to safety to be ready the next time you're part of a crowd. Signal 88 Security stresses while it's important to be responsible for your own safety, by following these guidelines there is no reason to live in fear. However, if you ever do feel uncomfortable or threatened, follow Conahan's simplest advice, "Go home!"

The Crowder Hive is based upon a design using 1 x 10 inch lumber.
I like the design so cut out end pieces from 2x scrap, went looking for 1 x 10 sides and bottom boards.
Lumber yards advise me that they no longer stock 1 x 10 materiel but could order it if I wanted enough of it to make it worthwhile.
Be advised: If you want to build a hive to the Crowder design you may have to either cut down 1 x 12 materiel or use some other alternative.
In my case the yard sold me a 10 foot piece of 1 x 12, then found that they had no tens in stock, loaded a l4 foot piece onto my truck and sent me on my way.

Dallas Computer manufacturer and seller Systemax Inc. said Sunday it has reached an agreement with CompUSA to buy its brand, trademarks, e-commerce business and as many as 16 stores from the struggling company, which was sold last year to restructuring and investment firm Gordon Brothers Group LLC.
Systemax said it expects to spend about $30 million on the acquisition.
"We believe the value of the CompUSA brand remains very high," said Systemax chief executive Richard Leeds in a statement.
Systemax is buying up to 16 CompUSA stores in Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico. Leeds said the acquisition would complement Systemax's TigerDirect subsidiary, which operates 11 retail stores in Florida, Illinois, North Carolina and Canada.
CompUSA Inc. was sold after struggling for nearly a decade with falling prices on personal computers, its most important product, and competition from big-box retailers such as Best Buy Co. CompUSA operated 103 stores when it was sold.

ok so to start off i was into the nitro scene until recently when i traded both my 4907 maxx and my slayer pro along with other things to get a car i wanted. well i wanted to switch to electric so ive decided to go with a slash. now i dont have a car yet at all because do to bills and what not its hard to save up enough to just go buy a rtr setup. so im going to start with a roller so that i can just slowly build it the way i want it without having to spend extra by replacing parts i dont want anyway.
im completely new to electric as well as the slash of course so all input, advice, tips, tricks ect. is all greatly appritiated and will be taken into consideration.
so to start with theres 2 main rollers ive been looking at.
this one is cheaper but does not have the transmission at price tag of $84 shipped.
this one has the brushless transmission in it but is $95 and im thinking is the better deal because of that since i will be running brushless.
and then im just going to put this link from the alley since theres some info in it that is helpful already.

Grand jury dings San Mateo County for failing to rein in sooaring pension costs
Original post made by Susan Smith, Woodside: other, on Apr 16, 2013
The county's unfunded pension liability is the "elephant in the room," San Mateo Civil Grand Jury Foreman Timothy Johnson Jr. told The Daily News on Monday.
"This problem is so huge. A billion or two billion," Johnson said. "All the numbers are appalling."
The San Mateo County Employees' Retirement Association (SamCERA), which handles the county's retirement program, told the grand jury that as of June 30, 2012, the unfunded liability figure was about $1.08 billion. But that assumes the association's assets will perform at a level which hasn't been reached in recent years, according to the civil grand jury.
However, when taking into account actual investment performance and current economic conditions, the grand jury projected a shortfall closer to $2 billion.

I recommended the Supervisors use most of Measure A tax income to pay down the unfounded debt, and that was when I thought it was just $1B.

To say 'appauling' is really an opinion. The pensions are the price to compensate talented people, as their incentive to keep their jobs, do them well and be reliable. Wait until pensions are squeezed out...it will be difficult to attract and retain talent.

Almost no major company offers pensions any more....there will be plenty of people to fill jobs...adequate salaries are enough to attract talented people, hopefully more talented than the fools who got us in to this mess.....are they going to get a pension???

William: Many of the county employees are quite definitely NOT talented and do not serve the public interest. Many of them are incompetent but they can only be fired with difficulty. They are way overcompensated according to the private sector and no one nowadays gets defined pensions, let alone paid health insurance for life. The County has approx. $1.8 billion for a budget and about 75% of that gets sucked up by employees, many of the higher echelons of which have received substantial raises. A good number of them are also double dippers - especially in the Sheriff's dept.

It is not hard to understand why politicians and public employees enjoy looting the taxpayer. What is hard to understand is why so many intelligent citizens continue to vote for those who practice such behavior.

Doesn't take much for the insults to take root. If someone has dedicated their life to a particular employment and then takes those talents elsewhere, why not? Is it because they were smart enough to do so?
So much is taken for granted such as clean water, consistent delivery of electricity, public safety...when these fail...it will be interesting to see who will be calling whom incompetent.

The Grand Jury further recommends that the Board of Supervisors give priority to the funding of SamCERA's unfunded liability over other new or expanded programs;
I think that is a very good idea.

That's where that additional 1/2 cent sales tax ought to go. Keep our county solvent instead of giving it away to a bunch of special interests. Of course, going to special interests is where it will likely go, but one can hope.

The leadership of the County, the Cities and Towns within our County, and their associated Boards seem to be seriously lacking the financial acumen to even figure out the questions to ask to know what the basic elements of the budgets are they are responsible for creating, working, and approving. Given the incredible intellectual capital and financial expertise in our area, there is no excuse for this. Time to vote all these people out, and replace them with qualified leaders for our communities, for the benefit of our communities. Enough of leaders who write checks our children can not cash.
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Apr 17, 2013 at 12:07 pm
The idea that this outcome is the result of lack of financial acumen on the part of the powerful is, I think, a rather optimistic one.
The true issue is that our political structure provides many incentives for short term thinking, can-kicking, and self-dealing behavior. If a pension promise can be made today and funded some years from now, most voters don't notice, except for the corrupt beneficiaries. So that's the kind of policy that politicians provide.
Combine with the quasi-religious fervor many voters feel for the magnificence of government, and you have the recipe for stagnation and decline that we observe today.
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Apr 19, 2013 at 10:47 am
This is very true. But the County is not the only government entity with unfunded liabilities. I wonder about all the other government agencies in San Mateo County as well as the state.
Some of the agencies are tied to Calpers. See the letter written by Henry Riggs and Roy Thiele-Sarnida about a potential cost increase: Web Link

If you haven't already checked with them check in with your local, regular beekeepers (not necessarily bee or queen sellers) and ask them if they'd be interested in selling a swarm if they have one...sometimes folks don't want another colony or either it catches them at an inconvenient time. You never can tell...

South By Southwest (SXSW) is a little less than a week away, so time to get packing. SXSW Interactive (SXSWi) is the "techy" portion of SXSW—the others are Film and Music—and is one of the geekiest popular culture events this side of San Diego Comic-con. While there isn't any cosplay and no one is likely to spit in your face if you tell them that Janeway was the greatest Star Fleet Captain of all time, SXSWi does attract the likes of Felicia Day, Devo and Bruce Sterling as regulars. It's a mixture of art nerds, drama nerds and computer nerds, who are almost all focused on technology and culture.
This will be my 3rd year attending SXSW but my first as a non-speaker. In previous years I've given sessions on web typography and online comic books. This year I will be attending as a representative of my company, Forum One, and I will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the sessions without the specter of an hour long speech hanging over my head.
While I'm by no means an old pro—this is the conference's 24th anniversary—I have picked up a few nuggets of wisdom over the years that I would like to share with you.
NOTE: If you're going to be at SXSW let me know and maybe we can get a GeekDad meet-up together.

JACKSONVILLE, NC (AP) — A state senator is suggesting that money from higher boat registration fees should be used to pay for dredging North Carolina's coastal inlets.
The Daily News of Jacksonville reports that Onslow County Sen. Harry Brown wants to create the Shallow Draft Inlet Dredging Fund.
The money for the fund would come from proposed increases in vessel registration and titling fees.
Brown says it's important to the economy to keep waterways such as New River Inlet and Bogue Inlet open to shipping. He says the inlets are used by recreational boaters, commercial vessels and fishermen among the many users.
It costs $15 a year to register a boat in North Carolina. A proposal in the legislature would increase that with fees based on the length of the boat being registered.

You're not helping.
You're not helping.
I get by just fine using the Richard Taylor way, take three frames of comb out of the middle of the lower brood box and replace with foundation in the spring. This gives the bees something to do and helps delay swarming or stops it altogether.It also gives me three frames of drawn comb to start a nuc, But no method is a sure thing in beekeeping,at leaset i haven't found it. Jack
Just three frames from the lower deep and no reversal?
Use the three for nucs.
I like it. Helps accomplish comb renewal too.
This thread will come to a close if the name calling and personal jabs don't end. Lighten up.
Regards, Barry
Back to the original question....
The proper method of Nectar Management or Checkerboarding...
The winter configuration of the colony is a deep and 2 shallows. There is a shallow on the bottom which is empty honey comb, and one on the top of the deep which is full of capped honey. The hive will be from bottom up; shallow, deep, shallow.
FFFFFFFFFF (shallow)
BBBBBBBBBB (deep)
EEEEEEEEEE (shallow)
On a warm day in late winter reconfigure the colony by placing the deep on the bottom and the 2 shallows on top. In each shallow alternate the frames with empty and full honey comb. The hive will be from bottom up; deep, shallow, shallow.
The frames and suppers will be:
FEFEFEFEFE (shallow)
EFEFEFEFEF (shallow)
BBBBBBBBBB (deep)
At the same time place a shallow super on top to give the bees a place to expand.
You cannot use foundation for checkerboarding; the bees need the empty comb to allow the queen to lay eggs and the workers to store nectar.
This technique is an efficient way to prevent swarming while promoting honey production and pollen storage for the fall.
Thank you. As always, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Wow, after having read this forum twice I can't figure out whether I have been [I]dazzled by brilliance or baffled by bullcrap.[I] What I have figured out is that I would rather watch for swarms and try to catch them rather than try to figure out who is right and who isn't. A FAIRLEY NEW BEEK.
Welcome to beekeeping valleyman!
Richard Taylor, wrote articles for the Bee Culture mag.,a long time beekeeper that had a way of explaining things he done in beekeeping that worked for him and made it plain and simple.He passed away a few years ago and no one has come close of replacing him that i'm aware of. His books on beekeeping are still available. Jack
Barry, don't close the thread, just delete the offenders... the thread is very valuable.
Valleyman... One thing you'll learn is to experiment. try the different methods in your own hives, and you'll quickly discover what works, and what doesn't. Unless, of course, the weather or the bees decide differently!
What I have found valuable is to go to the Point of View section on Beesource, and read all the articles. It is amazing the wealth of valuable information there.
In defense of Checkerboarding: I've been keeping bees for about 12 years now. Prior to checkerboarding I would always have swarms. I keep anywhere between 3 and 12 colonies. I used to reverse boxes in the early spring and when I saw queen cells would use a Snellgrove board(double screen) to try to prevent the swarms. It usually worked but it was really labor and time intensive. Since I've been checkerboarding (about 3 years now) I have not had one swarm!!
I know this for a fact for the following reasons.. I raise my own queens and I mark them with a different color for each hive so if a colony swarms I can tell by the color which colony it came from. I have quite a few friends that do not mark their queens and swear their bees never swarm.. trust me.. they do.. and checkerboarding eliminates it.
Randy B
Randy, are you using the 1 deep and 2 shallows for brood?
Would variations of the above scheme work? Like using one deep above the brood nest instead of two shallows? And what if there are not enough full frames at that time? Should I pull out frames of honey from the brood deep to move up. Should I leave more empties in the center or at the sides of the upper super(s)? Does any of that matter?
No one has talked about any variation that works. Walt has had enough problems promoting the method that does work.
Checkerboarding works because the bees think they don't have much honey left and the honey cap is no longer in place. The foragers get busy collecting all the early nectar they can find and the queen can lay many more eggs because of the empty comb. No honey cap allows the workers to move up into the upper supers and store nectar. The colony can't swarm because it appears they don't have enough stored honey for the colony to survive.
Now I remember why I don't frequent BeeSource much anymore.
tecumseh with a little "t", I'm surprised you're still hanging in there after all this time.
Barry, maybe a sticky is needed to remind some folks to lose the attitude and convey to them that this is a friendly place above all else, if you don't have one somewhere already.
Once you see the bandwagon, it's too late.
I am a new BEEK and I have heard the word Checkerboard. Would some please explain what it is?
As posted above, don't have a good answer that I'm prepared to defend, But can tell you what I plan to try next. (We can fail in parallel) Very early, in late winter, Place a box of overhead capped honey below the brood nest. (reverse) Add foundation above the brood nest and add F as necessary to maintain room to grow into.
Rationale: 1)Honey below the brood nest shouldn't separate them from feed; 2)If the cluster enfolds the overhead F It may induce the early wax making that is unique to second year colonies.
With only two 09 swarms to work with, the results may not be representa tive, but may provide a clue as to whether or not the approach is worth any further effort.
In WI where your cluster would normally be at the top of the hive in late winter, hive body reversal would be your best bet. The raised empty will give them room to grow into. Periodic reversal (2 weeks) will offset swarming through the swarm prep period. (see below)
I recognize that it's not necessary to point out where we agree to you, but it might be just as important to the beginners tracking this thread as where we differ. Bear with me.
You are correct in that reversal does not slow them down in development. In fact, if flying weather and field forage are supportive at the time, reversal creates a step function in brood nest expansion. When growing into overhead honey that honey must be consumed to make space for expansion, but empty comb overhead allows them to expand in one step to the level of brood volume that can be protected by the cluster volume. Brood seems to just Jump into the raised empty.
You asked about "Reproductive swarm cut off." It is described in the copy of the "manuscript" that you have (maybe had) It is also described in an 03 article available in POV (Full Season) Am not a writer by training or inclination and perhaps those descriptions are not clear. To summerize:
Repro c/o occurs locally in the early apple blossom period and is the point in colony development when reproduction is abandoned in favor of existing colony survival. Colonies with swarm cells in work continue to proceed to issue of the swarm, but those that didn't start swarm cells yet turn their attention to preparing to store survival winter honey. Those slower colonies that missed the deadline can still swarm later if they get overcrowded, but those swarms are not reproductive swarms. Overcrowded swarms, induced by the inept beek, are caused by the colony motivation to protect accumulated stores.
Note that hive body reversal causes overcrowding. The step function in brood volume is is not normal. Periodical reversal compounds the problem.
The colony deprived of the natural brood nest reduction of swarm preps has more population than that proportional to stores and cavity size. The late swarm is intended to reduce population.
Not sure what "step function" means. By "Jumping" into ther raised empty the bees have upward expansion, the pressure is removed, and swarming mostly disappears...there are always some that will persist...in any method. That overhead honey that must be consumed, won't be in my area, The Dandelion/Fruit Bloom is too strong. It will sit in the combs and become even harder...which renders it un-extractable. Placing it on the bottom board gets rid of it...the bees dig it out and use the liquid portion and discard the crystals out the door.
You claim that there are two types of swarms...reproductive swarms and overcrowded swarms. And that overcrowded swarms are really only trying to "protect accumulated stores." How do you know that? Show me any way that there is a difference between the two. Where is your science that shows any difference. If none, then this is all a nice story with some facts being true but then your interpretation being a story.
Hive body reversal creates overcrowding?? Really?? How?? I think this is another of your claims that are intended to bolster your theories without paying attention to what is really going on. If anything, the bees feel less crowded after reversing. It breaks up the backfilling of the broodnest. It opens up empty brood cells for the queen's expansion, and nectar management. With supers space above, there is wide open comb space above the cluster.
How can you say that the late swarm is intended to reduce population? This is another one of your interpretations to fit your thesis. A fact for which you have no science. Another part of your story. It's these bold claims that lead me to question your thesis.
Here's a good one that sounds great...but is it true.......
"The colony deprived of the natural brood nest reduction of swarm preps has more population than that proportional to stores and cavity size."
Are you saying that by reversing a colony, there is no broodnest reduction that happens in swarm preparations? Gosh, I hope so. Why would you want the colony to reduce the size of the broodnest right at the time that is so crytical for broodnest expansion...if you want to make a good honey crop. You seem to be saying that this non-reduction is a bad thing. Swarming is averted by expanding the broodnest. The bees reduce the broodnest by backfilling, reducing the eventual population of the colony...even if they don't swarm. I believe it's most important to keep the queens in full lay all the time with no reduction in the broodnest.
I'm trying to build polulation in my colonies at the time you say they should be going through broodnest reduction...and if they don't, it is in some way harmful to the colony? I have to disagree. It's all about population in beekeeping. Population at the right time makes honey bee colonies successful...whether for honey production, queen rearing, or wintering.
It takes huge populations to make a 200 pound crop. Something like these colonies....

Good thing that is a pic in the early fall. If that was a June pic it looks like a given they would swarm(in my eyes).

Nada que decir...excelente departamento, muy bien cuidado, limpio, luminoso y con espacio suficiente Para disfrutar de la bella Lisboa.
Muy buena ubicación y bonita vista
We stayed in Lisboa for a week in May 2015. It was a great and nice experience. The appartment is good localized, not far from the downtown, in a climatic part of the town. It was fully equipped - there were a lot of kitchen equipment (mugs, plates, glasses, microvave oven, etc.), the furnitures are in a good condition, a local is probably renovated lately. The flat is well communicated (tram, metro) with most important and interesting places in Lisboa (the old town, airport, railway stations to suberb destinations). 10 minutes walking from the appartment, you can find the LIDL market with a big choice of different Portugal wines, sea foods and other things.
We recommend Nuno's appartment for all who would like to visit Lisboa.

The apartment is very nice. The description was accurate, the hosts very friendly and uncomplicated. The apartment is highly recommended, however, one must not be sensitive to noise. The apartments are very noisy and the neighbors (with dog and child) are always heard. The holiday morning starts as from 7:30 clock. In addition, one must have no knee problems and be reasonably happy movement. The apartment it's really steep uphill or - from ...
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön. Die Beschreibung war zutreffend, der Gastgeber sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Die Wohnung ist unbedingt zu empfehlen , allerdings darf man nicht lärmempfindlich sein. Die Wohnungen sind sehr hellhörig und die Nachbarn (mit Hund und Kind) sind immer zu hören. Der Urlaubsmorgen beginnt so ab 7:30 Uhr. Ausserdem darf man keine Knieprobleme haben und einigermaßen bewegungsfreudig sein. Zur Wohnung geht es wirklich steil bergauf oder - ab...
We spent a week in the beautiful apartment of Nuno. The location of the apartment is perfect, a few minutes walk to the nearest metro station or tram. Grocery stores, bakery etc. are all close at hand. Two beautiful vantage points are just around the corner.
The apartment itself is moden and functional and very quiet. A coffee maker and an espresso maker are provided.
We would book this apartment at any time and can only recommend.
Wir verbrachten eine Woche in der wunderschönen Wohnung von Nuno. Die Lage der Wohnung ist perfekt, ein paar Fußminuten bis zur nächsten Metrostation oder zur Straßenbahn. Lebensmittelgeschäfte, Bäcker etc. sind alle in unmittelbarer Nähe. Zwei wunderschöne Aussichtspunkte sind gleich um die Ecke.
Die Wohnung selbst ist moden und funktionell eingerichtet und sehr ruhig gelegen. Eine Kaffemaschine sowie eine Espressomaschine sind vorhanden.
Wir würden diese Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen und können Sie jedem nur empfehlen.
It was great stay and the situation more or less help to get around Lisbon. A great host. The house is very nice, cozy and has all the amenities. Castle view from the dining room. We just love it !! Nuno THANKS !!
Ha sido estupenda la estancia y la situación que mas o menos ayuda a moverse por Lisboa. Un anfitrión genial. La casa es muy bonita, acogedora y tiene todas las comodidades. Con vistas al castillo desde el comedor. NOS HA ENCANTADO!! GRACIAS NUNO!!
We stayed in the Nuno's flat in Oct 2014. It is a great, clean and fully equipped apartment. Nuno even provided couple of guide books and brochures.
The most important is location. The apartment is in the middle of the old town. On the hilly street in walking distance to the metro station (Martim Moniz), bus, famous Tram #28, shops and tourist attractions.
Also he reserved a great weather during our Lisbon visit..... :)
Thanks Nuno !!!
We had a great time in Lisboa! The appartment offered everything we needed. We were especially happy with the kitchen supplies, so we could eat in the appartment. The supermarket is on walking distance uphill (where they also sell nice bread and pastries for breakfast), and the city center is a 15 minute walk. The metro station Martim Moniz is on 5 minutes walking distance. Shortly said, a great location! Other great features were the beautifull view and a really sweet downstairs neighbour, an older portuguese lady that gave us plums.
Considering the fact that we are three 20 year old girls we had no problem climbing the hill every day, however if you're less fit you must know it is quite a climb. Last but not least we were very happy with the wifi, wich made it a lot easier to search information about sightseeing, beaches and other activities.
Really good flat for visiting Lisbon in a couple or three days. Cute and very comfortable. We had a problem with water heater and Nuno cames in a while and repeared it.

Reviews of this property
Massi is a very gentle host. He is not only very hospitable but also a man of action. He react immediatly and friendly by questions. The beds of his accmmodation are amazing, very comfortable! After spending your time in Rome it is nessecary to have a good night's rest. The district of his apartment is very nice and you meet there a real modern Italian lifestyle. I highly recommand this place for booking a short or longer stay in Rome.
Massimiliano was a great host. He was generous and went of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. Access to public transport is easy and you could easily walk to the Colosseum and beyond it you so inclined ... .
Thanks Massimiliano
We spent wonderful days in Rome, and therefor one great reason was our thoughtful host Massi!!! He let us feel very famliar and gave us a lot of handy tips.
So we hope we will meet him again - and his splendid city!
Massimo was a great host. He is very generous and went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. The room is in a good location and access to public transport is easy...so you can walk to the Colosseum and the centre if you want to .... 20 min?
We had a wonderful time staying at Massi's apartment. He was extremely friendly and offered great advice on places to visit, eat etc. The apartment was very clean and had all necessary amenities. The location is quite good as there is a bus stop right outside the building that offers a direct connection to the city center. The metro stations are also not very far (15 mins walk). All together, we had a lovely time and would recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Rome.
We had a very pleasant visit to Rome. The room is very clean and Massimiliano was a great host. With the bus next to the appartment it's just a 10 minute drive towards the center. The area around the room has some good restaurants and are not as touristic as the center.
Massi was very helpful and welcoming during my stay. The location of the apartment is good, subway is in walking distance and there is a supermarket & grocery very close. The room is perfect basecamp for city trips.
Massimiliano was very nice, helpful and provided us with good tips. Our room was very clean and we felt at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Rome :-)
Massimiliano war sehr nett, hilfsbereit und hat uns mit guten Tipps versorgt. Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber und wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank für einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Rom :-)
Our host, Massimiliano was very hospitable and helpful during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place. The room is well-kept by him and has all the necessary amenities. Massimiliano was great in recommending places for us to visit in his immediate area, and was very helpful in arranging some favors for us. The location is perfect, it isn't right in the middle of all the sites, and it isn't so far away either. It's walking distance from the Colosseum without being surrounded by tourists and tourist traps. All in all, this was the perfect place! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
It was our first experience and the truth is that Massi is great. It is very easy to get along with him (in French, English, with basic knowledge of Italian and even make the effort to try it in Castilian) and keeps his word in todo.La room is very clean and have breakfast every morning, the neighborhood quiet and you can walk to the historic center and to the places that are further away near a metro station there. We have loved being in Rome and if I ever come back definitely going back to the same place. Thanks Massi.
Fue nuestra primera experiencia y la verdad es que Massi es genial. Es muy fácil entenderse con él (en francés, en inglés, con unas nociones básicas de italiano e incluso hace el esfuerzo de intentarlo en castellano) y cumple su palabra en todo.La habitación es muy limpia y tienes desayuno todas las mañanas, el barrio tranquilo y se puede ir andando al centro histórico y para los lugares que quedan más lejos cerca hay una boca de metro. Nos ha encantado estar en Roma y si algún día volvemos seguro que volvemos al mismo sitio. Gracias Massi.

Lawyers for George Zimmerman filed suit today against NBC Universal Media over a well-publicized editing error that portrayed their client in racist terms in his pursuit of Trayvon Martin on a drizzly evening in February.
"NBC saw the death of Trayvon Martin not as a tragedy but as an opportunity to increase ratings, and so to set about the myth that George Zimmerman was a racist and predatory villain," states the civil complaint in its opening salvo against NBC.
NBC's editing of the 911 audiotape in the Martin case became a public fixation after the media-monitoring Web site NewsBusters.org noted editing oddities on a "Today" show broadcast March 27. Here's how NBC News portrayed the audiotape:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black.
The full tape went like this:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Zimmerman thus didn't volunteer a racial profile of Martin; he was asked to provide it, a point that the lawsuit makes in colorful fashion: "NBC created this false and defamatory misimpression using the oldest form of yellow journalism: manipulating Zimmerman's own words, splicing together disparate parts of the recording to create illusions of statements that Zimmerman never actually made."
Michael Moore perfected this art. Mainstream media took it and ran with it.
For the purposes of a libel case, then, Zimmerman should have little trouble proving that NBC News broadcast false and defamatory material about him. The stiff legal challenge for Zimmerman & Co. lies in another phase of the proceedings, and that is proving damages from NBC's treatment.
Just why should that be so difficult? Because of media saturation. Think back to March: What news outlet — local, national, international — sat out the Trayvon Martin case? Cable news appeared to talk about nothing but. Newspapers had their reporters covering every step of the police investigation/quasi investigation, and their opinion writers opining on the case's lessons for race and criminal justice in America. There was only one way to escape it all: a cabin.
James Beasley, Zimmerman's attorney in the case, faces the steep legal challenge of proving that the misdeeds of NBC News alone made enough of an impression on the public to harm Zimmerman. In an interview this afternoon, Beasley invoked the media mushroom on the case as a data point in his client's favor. "That's exactly the point," said Beasley when asked about the scrum. "This is out there and instead of [NBC] saying, 'Let's talk about what really happened,' they're taking something that's running at one plus one and just started multiplying it." In other words, a media force as large as NBC had an opportunity to calm the racial excesses of reportage on Zimmerman; it went in the other direction.
More from Beasley: "NBC just exponentially expanded, this has caused a lot of problems for George. He can't go out on the street — he'll get his arse kicked….No other journalistic entity came even close to how journalistically irresponsible and reckless NBC was."
It was disgusting watching liberals paint this man as a racist in the media and online.
I am glad the truth is coming out.

We had a very pleasant stay at the appartment: it was spacious, well equiped and everything looked really nice. The friendly tips of the host helped us to get started in Prague. I would definatly advice this appartment to other travellers! It is located outside of the center of Prague, but the subway is nearby, as are shops and convenient stores...
Very good
awesome apartment !
very nice host - tolerant and helpful !
we had great night thanks a lot !
Very nice staying in this appartment. Really similar to the photos, clean and with a lot of facilities, you feel at home!
Andrew is a very nice host, always willing do help about your trip and the beautiful city of Praha.
The apartment is spacious, clean, with all equipments. It's a warm and comfy place, and specially when it's snowing and cold outside!
Perfect for a couple or even 2 couples because the rooms are separated.
Fab location- not even 5 mins walk to Wenceslas square and 15 mins walk to old town.
Clean apartment with all the basics you need. Only issue was the heating as it was on full all night and couldn't turn it down- but better than being cold!
Host also looked after us and sorted taxis to and from airport.
Would recommend.
Great experience
Very good experience, had a wonderful time in Prague. The apartment is clean and modern style, with all the necessary to enjoy a relaxing stay.
The building lies in an quiet district, with shops, pubs and restaurants nearby. Andy is a very nice and informatively host. I'd definitely recommend this place to people visiting Prague.
The place is perfectly located at 3min from Wenceslas square, 15-20min on foot to the old town and close to a bunch of very good places to eat Czech food. The apartment is in very good condition, renovated, very big and full-equipped. The host is very friendly, no problems at all. 100% recommended.
Andrew is a great host.
His flat is large, bright and very clean.
We enjoyed our stay in Prague.
Thank you for your hospitality.

UTSA's Brent Nowak and U.S. Navy underwater robots
Faculty Spotlight: Underwater robotics research by UTSA's Brent Nowak makes splash with U.S. Navy
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 3, 2009)--Brent Nowak, UTSA associate professor of mechanical engineering, is headed to the water this summer, but he won't be taking much time off to relax. He was selected by the U.S. Navy to conduct research at its Newport-based Naval Undersea Warfare Center, a prestigious fellowship for engineering academics.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
At the summer program, formally called the Office of Naval Research Summer Faculty Research Program, Nowak will conduct research on hardware systems for advanced underwater vehicles, controls and intelligent collaborative solutions.
"I've always had a passion for robotics, and it's a great privilege to collaborate with the U.S. Navy on the improvement of underwater vehicles," said Nowak. "I imagine I'll be like a kid in a candy store once I get there."
Nowak has more than 25 years of professional and academic experience in mechanical engineering. Congruent with his UTSA academic duties, he is a member of the university's Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems, which teaches companies to be more efficient manufacturers by adopting lean manufacturing principles and robotic technologies.
Before coming to UTSA, Nowak was an investigator at the San Antonio-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), where he managed several large, multi-year manufacturing projects in automation and robotics. He also was a co-investigator on the SwRI Depth-X project to develop a submersible vehicle to detect life, capture samples and return them to the surface. The SwRI team's contributions on that project included the robot's arm definition, design and integration.
His expertise, however, is not limited to water- or land-based robotics. Nowak's professional career also includes significant time with Rockwell Space Operations, where he, among other responsibilities, offered real-time space shuttle flight console support at the NASA Johnson Space Center's Mission Control Center for 13 flights.
Established in 1992, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center is the Navy's full-spectrum research, development, test and evaluation, engineering and fleet support center for submarines, autonomous underwater systems, and offensive and defensive weapons systems associated with undersea warfare.

I have one hive that is doing amazing work. I have gotten all of the frames out of the hive that had foundation except one. Strange thing is, I needed to help with crowding and supplement another hive on Saturday...so I inspected the hive and removed four frames of brood and bees.
During the inspection, I found he usual honey and pollen frames in both upper and lower HB's with six frames that they use for brood. Anyway, all of the frames had brood in them other than one...It was the last frame with foundation!?? Go figure?
I am just wondering if I happened to catch it at the time when all of the bees had emerged, or is the queen not liking the size of the cells.
My next inspection...if it is still empty, I will remove it for good and use it in a nuc or something.

It figures.
Barack Obama is embracing anti-gun policies in the run-up to a Democratic presidential debate scheduled on the one-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings.?I am not in favor of concealed weapons,? Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. ?I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.?
He's a real dickhead,and just think ,alots off gun owners will vote for this black mumbo. I personly don't like anything about him.
Hummm? lets see....they say something like 85% of all crime is comitted by 3% of the population. I'm guessing Obama doesn't want to lose the votes from those 3% who would shortly get capped for being stupid. He would like for us to be dependent on the government for everything and in turn make the government involved in controling every miniscule aspect of your life.
He reminds me of a couple of ass kissers at work. Tell them what the want to hear. Kinda wonder if he stands for anything. I only wish that he would soon show his true colors and then maybe the blindfolds will come off his supporters and he will go by the wayside. Jim Jones in the making.
Whaddya expect from an Illinois Senator? Cook County and the rest are all in it for the power - NOT Freedom. Chicago, Illinois is one home to all that's evil in this country.
He is showing his true colors, he believes in gun control and giving illegal immigrants amnesty. Jimmy T summed it up well, a dickhead.
I know he just lost a few votes in Washington D.C., where you have an 87% better chance of being killed by a gun than you do if you were serving in our military in Iraq.
My God. The thought of him being our next president sends chills down my spine.

Cockles, New Zealand
New Zealand Cockles are a fast growing species of shellfish found in harbors and estuaries throughout the country. Most populations have a healthy abundance.
New Zealand Cockles are mostly collected by hand picking, which causes little habitat damage and results in low levels of bycatch. In some areas, their habitat has been negatively affected by increased sedimentation, urban development and industrial contamination. While they can recolonize an area after a disturbance, the success of recolonization varies greatly between locations.

In Reply to: Jazz - one more theory posted by ESC on January 16, 2004
: : : Hi
: : : Daughter doing an essay and oral on "All that Jazz". Looking for exact meaning and origin if anyone has any idea
: : : Thanks
: : I don't have any information on the phrase "all that jazz." I assume you know about the show and movie. Here's is some information on the word "jazz":
: : JAZZ/JIVE - "Jazz, lies, exaggeration, cajolery, 1918; jive, with the same meaning, about 1921. The word 'jazz' was first recorded in New Orleans in the 1870s both as a verb, meaning to become faster, more exciting, or frenetic, and as a noun, referring to a form of syncopated music; by 1913 it generally meant a style of ragtime (the word seems to be of West African or Creole origin, though no root form or cognate has been found). 'Jive' seems to have appeared in Chicago around 1921 as a black term for lies, exaggeration, or cajolery (no one knows where the word came from; it could have been a pronunciation of 'jibe'). In 1928 two jazz records appeared using 'jive' in their titles, Cow Cow Davenport's 'State Street Jive' and Louis Armstrong's 'Don't Jive Me,' the word 'jive' then slowly becoming associated with such use and meaning swing music by 1937. Thus, jazz music came before jazz talk, but jive talk came before and helped name jive music." From "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982), Page 85.
: : Another reference says that "jazz was first a verb for sexual intercourse."
: : The author presents several theories on the origin of the word "jazz." They are that jazz came from:
: : Jazz, the nickname for Jasper, a dancing New Orleans slave, around 1825, who was stirred to a faster pace by people saying, "Come on, Jazz!"
: : Mr. Razz, a band conductor in New Orleans in 1904.
: : Charles "Chaz" Washington, a ragtime drummer in Vicksburg, Mississippi, around 1895.
: : Charles "Chas." Alexander, Vicksburg, around 1910, the leader of Alexander's Ragtime Band.
: : Various words including the African "chasse" dance step or "jaiza" for "the sound of distant drums"; Arab "Fazib," "one who allures"; Hindu "jazha," "ardent desire."
: : From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997), Page 367.
: Another theory from a third source: Jazz "not only refers to the music, but is used as a verb meaning 'to speed up, to excite, to act uninhibited. Possibly from Mandingo 'jasi,' literally, 'to act out of the ordinary.' Originally, 'jazz' referred to sexual activity." From "Black Talk: Words and Phrases from the Hood to the Amen Corner" by Geneva Smitherman (Houghton Mifflin Co., New York, N.Y., 1994). Page 145.

Speed up .NET Compact Framework compile time by a LOT!
I was complaining on Twitter about the long time it takes to compile a Compact Framework application and Steve Schoon informed me of a hack you can do to DRASTICALLY speed up the time it takes to compile! You can get the details here.
Read the entire thing so you are aware of what you're disabling by performing this hack but unless you are constantly flipping back and forth to various different target platforms with your mobile development, you shouldn't need this feature very often at all! It dropped our compile times down from about 3 minutes to about 10 seconds. It was amazing!

Great apartment, Great Location, very clean and spacious.. Lovely host helped us out alot.. 5 stars...
Mona en Marc waren beide vriendelijk en hulpvaardig.
Ligging tov centrum was prima. Alles was binnen een half uur te bereiken.
Appartement was echt 70 er jaren. Goede inrichting. Er ontbrak niets. Alleen de derde TV deed het. We hebben wel een anti slipmat voor het bad gekocht. Anders is het echt gevaarlijk.
Tip: een Berlin welkom card is best duur. Met een mini groepskaart voor max 5 personen kom je bijna overal in Berlijn.
Dalmacija in de brunnenstrasse is goed en vriendelijke bediening.

Short and precise description of the appartment, and short and precise guidance of how to pick up the key.
All in all an easy way to start a very nice stay in Berlin.
good location, good price. apartment needs some updating!
The flat is relatively old and not vary clean, but is ok large. We can only receieve towels,bed cover, blanket and pillows clothers 6 hours after we receive the key. There was not any shampoo or shower gel in the toilet. The wireless did not work.
A good basic apartment, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Do heed the warning of the stairs to the apartment, they a formidable if you are not fit!
The apartment is situated on the 5th floor with no lift, but the stairs just gave us some extra exercise :-)
Fairly clean and tidy spacious apartment with IKEA interior. Some minor repair needs, eg. shower head hook broken, missing towel hooks, terrace door squeaking loudly and some loose chairs.
The wifi was unstable and of little use most of the time. The area is culturally mixed, which means that some very good basic eating places are nearby (eg. La Fiamma near Lidl).
Situated some distance from then nearest four U/S-bahn stations most trips start with taking the bus to the appropriate station alternatively 10 minutes walk to the station.
The apartment can be recommended, but check that wifi is operational again and that the repairs are taken care of before you book.
Nice and spatious appartment. We were there with three people. Good location. Free parking, subway nearby, also some good supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
Short: good price/quality.
Nice and clean apartment, though a bit worn here and there. Very spacious, and a good place for families. Good value for money, and the owner was friendly and helpfull. The hot water supply wasn't very reliable, therefore a bit annoying when taking a bath. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
Super sted. Virker mere som en ferie lejlighed end en dele lejlighed. Jeg kan absolut anbefale denne.
