Reviews of this property
Nice place, good location, room spaceous and with high ceilings. The city center is 20 on foot, or quicker with a bus. Very good restaurants in the vicinity, and a nice cafe bar accross the street for a good coffee, capucino and a corneto for breakfast.
We were among the guests here from 20-25.04 2015. The room with its own terrace is very very nice. It's all beautifully decorated and clean. It feels like with relatives. The Fanti family is very nice and helpful.
The room was gereignigt daily.
Breakfast is from 8:30 to 10:30 and there is delicious coffee, croissant, cereal, fruit and yogurt. Super to start the day.
We can recommend the B & B at any time. You will feel very comfortable.
The B & B is very well located in a quiet street. 5 min. walk from Arnouffer and 20 minutes walk from the center. The bus stop for line 13 is also not far, which we recommend if you want to Piazale Michangelo, Forte Belvedere, driving, is like a little bus tour.
Florence we liked very well and if we go back again, we will stay again at Serena and family.
Greetings from Frankfurt
Patricia and Jörg
Wir waren hier zu Gast vom 20-25.04 2015. Das Zimmer mit eigene Terrase ist sehr sehr schön. Es ist alles liebevoll eingerichtet und sauber. Man fühlt sich wie bei Verwandten. Die Familie Fanti ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Das Zimmer wurde täglich gereignigt.
Das Frühstück ist vom 8:30 bis 10:30 und es gibt leckeren Kaffee, Croissant, Müsli, Obst und Joghurt. Super um in den Tag zu starten.
Wir können das B&B jederzeit empfehlen. Ihr werdet Euch sehr wohl fühlen.
Das B&B ist sehr gut gelegen in eine ruhige Strasse. 5 min. zu Fuß vom Arnouffer und 20 min zu Fuß vom Zentrum. Die Bushaltestelle für die Linie 13 ist auch nicht weit, das empfehlen wir wenn man zu Piazale Michenangelo , Forte Belvedere, fahren möchte, ist wie eine kleine Busrundfahrt.
Florenz hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wenn wir wieder dort fahren, werden wir bei Serena und Familie wieder übernachten.
Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt

It was a gift to my parents, so I have experienced first-hand experience. But I can assiurare that were both very happy. Very satisfied, happy with the location, pleasantly surprised by the huge breakfast. Have told me that he loved it, the room is like in the photos, so all positive and above recommended. Of course I will follow the suggestion in anticipation of a future turn out the door!
Thanks to Richard and Serena have always kept in touch with me for the organization. Replacement greetings !!!
Thank you, see you soon !!!
Si trattava di un regalo ai miei genitori, quindi non ho vissuto in prima persona questa esperienza. Ma posso assiurare che erano entrambi ben felici. Molto soddisfatti, contenti per la location, sorpresi positivamente per la colazione abbondantissima. Mi hanno riferito di essersi trovati molto bene, la camera è come nelle foto, quindi tutto positivo e soprattutto consigliato. Ovviamente seguirò il suggerimento in previsione di una futura gira fuori porta!
Grazie a Riccardo e Serena per essersi sempre tenuti in contatto con me per l'organizzazione. Ricambio i saluti!!!
Grazie e a presto!!!
Nice enough room, good facilities and good breakfast. A negative is that the walls are very thin and you hear what's going on in the neighbours' room and in the hallway. The owner was quite loud and unfriendly, ordering us out of our room before even check-out time. We then found a better place in the same price range that was friendlier and far more central (Il Quinto Poeta).
We have found by Riccardo as friends. With lots of love and kindness. The room was very clean and welcoming. Abasto excellent breakfast. The daughter and wife are very kind and nice. A loving family. 10 Points.
Thanks for all. Greetings and hugs Renato and Brigitte
Noi ci siamo trovati da Riccardo come amici. Con tanto affetto e gentilezza. La stanza e stata molto pulita e accogliente. La colazione abastanza ottima. La figlia e la moglie sono molto gentile e simpatici. Una famiglia affettuosa. 10 Punti.
Grazie di tutto. Saluti e abbracci Renato e Brigitte
It 'like being at home! Very warm and hospitable!
Thanks for all.
E' come essere a casa! Molto calorosi e ospitali!
Grazie di tutto.
We had a great time, the room was large and very nice; inviting and available hosts. We will return with pleasure.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, la chambre était grande et très agréable; les hôtes accueillants et disponibles. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir.

Israel Says Galilee Water Needs Cut by Rain, Desalination
Israel's Water Authority has been able to reduce the amount of water pumped from the nation's main source, the Sea of Galilee, by more than half due to above- average rain and higher use of desalination plants.
"There has been a significant drop, we are now pumping less than half the multi-year average," spokesman Uri Schor said in a phone interview. About 160 million cubic meters (42.3 billion gallons) of water were pumped last year from the northern Israel lake compared with as much as 360 million cubic meters the past two to three decades, he said yesterday.
To address water shortages, Israel enacted a conservation program in 2008 that included boosting the amount of desalination, or seawater made potable mostly via reverse osmosis filtration. Desalination currently provides about 330 million cubic meters of potable water, which will increase next year to 550 million cubic meters, Schor said.
"The water sources will be more stable and there will be a reliable supply of water until 2025 as long as the public continues to conserve," Schor said. Israel gets most of its drinking water from the Galilee in tandem with desalination.
Two-thirds of Israel is desert and freshwater sources are scarce, leading the Water Authority to start a countrywide water conservation campaign in 2008. Need has driven Israeli companies to develop new and cheaper technologies to desalinate water.
IDE Technologies Ltd., owned by Delek Group Ltd. and Israel Chemicals Ltd., announced last month it won contracts valued at $650 million to design and maintain the Western Hemisphere's largest seawater desalination plant that's being developed in Southern California.
The Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, is 210.48 meters below sea level, while not as low as the salty Dead Sea it's nearing its maximum capacity of 208.8 meters below sea level, according to the Water Authority website. The level has been boosted by months of heavy rains.

President Barack Obama is sworn in for a second term
On Monday, January 21, President Barack Obama was sworn in for a second term in office at the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. In his Inaugural address, delivered from the U.S. Capitol building, Obama called on Americans to work as one for the common good.
"America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive, diversity and openness, of endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention," Obama said. "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment and we will seize it, as long as we seize it together."
Among the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the nation's capital for Inauguration Day, many seemed ready to take on the President's challenge. Bundled up in heavy winter coats, hats and gloves, they had arrived before dawn to be a part of the historic event. By mid-morning, a thick band of people stretched from the grassy lawn of Capitol Hill, along the National Mall to the Washington Monument. Huge screens broadcast the ceremony live. Despite cold weather and overcast skies, the mood was celebratory, with people waving American flags and chanting "O-bama-a, O-bam-a."
Making It Official
The U.S. Constitution calls for the President to take the Oath of Office by noon on January 20. On Sunday, Obama was formally sworn in at a low-key ceremony at the White House, with his wife, Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia by his side. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts administered the Oath of Office. He did so again at Monday's ceremony. Because January 20 fell this year on Sunday, the public oath-taking took place today.
Let's Celebrate!
By mid afternoon, skies brightened above the nation's capital, just in time for the Inaugural Parade from the Capitol to the White House. A smiling Mr. and Mrs. Obama, walking side by side down Pennsylvania Avenue, waved to spectators along the parade route. The First Family and guests then proceeded to a specially built Presidential Reviewing Stand set up in front of the White House. They watched marching bands, military groups and floats go by.
The celebration continues tonight with two official Inaugural Balls. The President and First Lady will attend them both. Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder are among the musical artists scheduled to perform at the black-tie events.

I was wondering if any of you have had the same problem- it started with the towels, we'd wash them, then when I used them, they smelled a bit funky.
Then it went from a bit funky to smelling like they just came out of the hamper when I dried off.
Now, the rest of my clothes are getting nailed - I have a brand new shirt that I wore for thirty minutes, then it went in the wash. My wife decided to wash some clothes with towels and my Under Armor shorts that I run in - any of you that have those know how beautiful those smell after 2 hours of sweating in them.
So, I'm wearing my brand new shirt today and on the way to work, I'm noticing this smell...I smell my shirt and it smells like my Under Armor running shorts, which happened to be in the wash with the shirt.
So, I know it's my washer, but I'm trying to figure out where to start. I occasionally wash all of the towels in really hot water (132 degrees), but I haven't gone nuclear yet and bleached everything because we have a bunch of colored towels and we all know what bleach does to those.
The hot water washes haven't done anything to stop the smell, in fact the last one seems to have made it worse.
The washer is a Maytag top-loader, we've had the thing since we built our house in 2007 and this problem just started in the last few months and got really bad in the last week or so.
One thing that has me wondering is that we have just had a bunch of new wells dug around us recently for ag use and we have been having issues with the water occasionally smelling since they started pumping heavily. This laundry problem also started around the same time.
So, I'm wondering if it could be the water, a combination or just coincidence.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

New book offers cutting-edge perspective on causes of schizophrenia; related disorders Charts course for next generation research
BINGHAMTON, NY – About 1 in 10 people have the potential to develop schizophrenia, but only 1 in 100 actually end up with this devastating illness. The challenge is in knowing why some do and some don't.
Drawing from over 25 years of laboratory study, Mark F. Lenzenweger, a distinguished professor of clinical science, neuroscience and cognitive psychology at Binghamton University, thinks that not only does he have the makings of a good response to this troubling question but also how to go about finding those answers.
In his latest book, Schizotypy and Schizophrenia: The View from Experimental Psychopathology, Lenzenweger explores lessons he has learned in the psychological science laboratory while probing the broader questions of how to think about and conduct psychopathology research.
"The liability for schizophrenia is relatively prevalent and common in our population," said Lenzenweger. "Therefore, understanding why someone goes on to develop the illness is a high priority research question. I firmly believe that those who harbor this liability but do not develop the full-blown illness of schizophrenia may hold the key to this puzzle. Since this is an ongoing challenge for our society, training the next generation in how to think about and conduct psychopathology research is just as vital. So what I've tried to do is combine both of those elements in a way that I hope will appeal to both the experienced research and those just starting out."
The book traces Lenzenweger's intense efforts to find answers using laboratory and statistical procedures by examining a host of related conceptual issues, data analytic strategies and methodical viewpoints that he has found helpful over the years. Using clinical anecdotes and research recollection, Lenzenweger hopes that readers will develop an appreciation for those substantive issues that have and are currently pressing (and interesting) on the causes of schizophrenia and related disorders.
"Schizophrenia is perhaps the costliest form of mental illness," said Lenzenweger. "In addition, it has a strong genetic component; about 80 percent of what determines schizophrenia is related to genetic influences. All people with schizophrenia share a personality organization known as schizotypy. And the person who carries shizotypy is known as a schizotype. Yet not all schizotypes are schizophrenic. In fact, the vast majority of schizotypes do not go on to develop the illness. So it stands to reason that the study of schizotypic individuals offers a unique perspective on what might cause the illness."
According to Lenzenweger, the way forward in understanding the causes and development of schizophrenia will be complex and difficult terrain.
"There will be no simple solution or discovery the remedies the entire problem," said Lenzenweger. "But I hope that my book will chart the course for the field as it stands currently and show the way forward for the generation to come."
Schizotypy and Schizophrenia: The View from Experimental Psychopathology was released this month by Guilford Press. For more, click here.

Town Square
Thanks For The Devil Mountain Run Revival
Original post made by JRM, Vista Grande Elementary School, on May 7, 2013
Hats off to Marty Breen from Forward Motion and Katalyst Productions for all the effort put into bringing back this town tradition last Sunday morning. Thanks as well for all the volunteers that held flags, worked the water stations and cleaned up after all was finished. It was a wonderful event...perfect weather, great vibe and a chance to support the Discovery Center here in our own town. The kids races afterwards were a great addition this year, and seeing their joy in running and racing with each other bodes well for the future of this sport. Lastly, playing the National Anthem before the start was very moving as a silence fell over the crowd as the song began. All in all it was a terrific family event and with over 800 runners registered at $35.00 apiece I hope the Discovery Center had their expectations met as well. Can't wait until next year !! One last thing...the Mariachi Band was awesome, all that was missing was the margarita machine.


text: I was thinking the same thing.... They were risking RG III career potentially by continuing to play him. Then that little stint into the "shack" on the sideline, followed with RG III going back into the game.... what the heck, did they give him a pain shot? This has to be the stupidest stunt Shanahan has ever pulled.

"class" is a bull**** ambiguous construct for idiotic sports fans to create nonsense talking points around, it doesn't exist.
Just watching all of these guys prance around like a bunch of fools is really detracting to the game. When you make a tackle there is no need to run around fighting the need to remove your helmet. If you make a sack you don't need to run halfway down to the other end zone and back, when you break up a pass you don't need to do the chicken dance pumping your chest out and flapping your arms.
The old saying is act like you've been there before, and it's quite clear that these younger players have no discipline or respect for the game when they make it all about themselves and cost their teams success in the long run.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
I dont like punks that talk crap and then back it up with good play, i like teams that talk trash and then get beat by their division rivals like the giants.
watching Boldin and Sherman tomorrow should be pretty annoying..

If you like to exercise, Roundwood Park is just a 5 minute walk where you can exercise in a very relaxed setting but if you are more into swimming or weight training, Willesden Sports Centre is a 12 minute walk. The sport centre is very good and you can pay by the day, so you could incorporate training in your holidays or your short stay. For more information about the centre please have a look at their web page: (website hidden) There is also a Bikram yoga centre about 15 minutes bus ride from the flat: (website hidden) If you are interested in mediation and more alternative ways of life, the Brahma Kumaris centre is a 15 minute walk from the flat, more info in : (website hidden)

You will have access to quite large family kitchen and if If you are lucky enough to have good weather, a lot of my guests, have breakfast in the garden.

I interact with my guests as much as I can. If I am home and I am cooking I love to invite the guests to share the meal with my son and myself. I am very proud to say that some of my friends are from Wimdu that came as guests and we become friends.
I love interacting with people and any information you need I would be glad to spend time with you and explain. I love London and everything that it is offered, therefore I have good knowledge of how to get the most out of this wonderful city.
I love the diversity of this neighbourhood, different cultures and sometimes the crazy ambience that the area provides.If you are a cook, the area is like Aladin's Cave.

greetings ashok
Such a charming place to stay , close to willesden junction to go to london !
We had a great time with the other hosts !
I recommend it !!!!
It was a great experience and the apartment was good . And her son is very respectfully and helpfully guy .
Pilar was an amazing host, very flexible which is absolutely a non-plus-ultra. She took care of everything around the flat, I would highly recommend her as host and her room to everybody. The pictures from the room on Wimdu are showing the reality, we get exactly what we expected. Very calmy neighborhood, lovely place, London style, away from the city centre's too much noise. We loved it sooo much!
I stayed for a longer period (6 weeks) with Pilar and Marcello. It was a great experience. I really felt home. Pilar is a wonderfull host! The rooms are spacious, clean, new and very modern. Public tranport (from there it only takes 10 minutes to Oxford Circus), shops and restaurants are very close by. You wil have everything you need for a wonderfull stay in London!!
We stayed for 2 weeks with my 20-month-old boy. Pilar and her son were really nice and kind all the time. My son likes them very much!! He misses them with his first jet lag now. And another guest families were also really friendly! We had a nice time with them. It took 20 min to tube st. with pushchair. So I sometimes took the bus to central. It was convenient for me. And easy to find nice supermarkets and many kinds of shops. Thank you for your kindness and lots of toys & lovely picture books!
It was a great 9-day journey in London started from Pilar's warm hospitality. The place is just like what is showed in the pictures, clean, modern, comfortable, and cozy. Pilar provided me useful information and has been there for me just a phone call away when I needed help. I like Pilar and her son and greatly appreciate them respect guest's privacy and at the same time be naturally kind and friendly.
Unfortunately we didn' t have much time to talk but staying at Pilars was very nice and she was very friendly. Would always go back there again. Our room was nice and big exactly like on the pictures. Everything was nice and tidy. It takes about half an hour to get to the central of London but we expected that and the connections are really good and there is a 24 hour bus service. Thank you so much for having us!

text: Iddee... saw in another post that you have extracted three colonies from buildings with no stings. I have a colony in my barn wall, and want to remove them. I am also a complete beginner. I took a class, read a lot, and have the basic equipment. Can you give me any advice?

In my case I need to think about migratory colonies that are brought into my area May/June and I've got to assume that drones from those colonies hang out in DCAs just like any other drones.
In my case I need to think about migratory colonies that are brought into my area May/June and I've got to assume that drones from those colonies hang out in DCAs just like any other drones.
Much would depend on a few factors. First, what time of the year do your queens fly, or when you make queens or what time of year do you have swarms?
Can you set up your hives to produce enough drones to limit the effect if queens need to fly during those times?
Or, is that a bad thing? Can you make it with open mating with unfavorable (to you) stock in the area and deal with the results?
Thank you Solomon for your reply. Swarm season here starts in May and runs pretty much through June, nicely coinciding with the time commercial pollinators are in the area. I need to build nucs for over wintering by the middle of July in order to have them build up adequately for winter. I might be able to push this date back a week or two by making stronger and fewer nucs.
Most commercial pollinators are gone by the end of June; the exact time of their pullout depends on the shape of the bees and the demands of the next stop on the pollination circuit. As I understand it the next big crop is Massachusetts cranberries.
If I am going to use swarm cells to build nucs there are likely to be commercial pollinators in the area when the queens mate. If I graft, and wait until the middle of June to do so, I'm more likely to avoid the commercial folks' drones, but need to get my timing right the first time!
I'd rather avoid manipulating the colonies to produce drones; If I delay grafting I should be able to deal with whatever genetics I end up with; the expensive alternative is to (continue) bringing in queens to make up nucs with. But that seems to fly in the face of the sustainability arguments.
So you would like to avoid flying virgins with strangers in town?
That would be my preference. Just don't know about those guys from out of town!

Walking Zen.
Rev. Taigu, who walks the walk, talks and walks us through the ways of walking Zen, called Kinhin.
Whats the main difference between walking Kinhin and seated Zazen? Well, the first is standing up while the other is sitting down! Other than that, not so much.
Kinhin is typically walked between long sessions of seated Zazen, not only to stretch the legs, but as a practice with the same attitudes of balanced body-mind and diligent non-attaining as all Zazen walking walking walking ahead vibrantly and sincerely, yet with no place in need of going no place we can go.
Usually, when the bell rings twice, marking the transition from Zazen to Kinhin, we rise from sitting, face toward our cushion (the Zafu), fluff and straighten it before placing it safely out of the way, bow (Gassho) toward the cushion, turn 180 degrees toward the right and bow toward the open room, then turn (left usually, 90 degrees) and begin Kinhin starting with the right foot. As Taigu will demonstrate, we take about half a step at the top of each breath (although, if walking in line with a group of people, we also try to keep up and evenly spaced with the group too). We walk in an unhurried way, slowly circumambulating the perimeter of the room or seating area, back toward where we began. In the few minutes that we usually walk, however, we likely dont travel so very far. (Again, distance is not the point.) It is best not to walk directly in front of the Buddha statue in the room, and to give a slight nod of the head in respect if needing to do so. When the bell or clappers mark the end of Kinhin, we quickly move ahead, returning to our sitting place, bowing toward the room, turning right and bowing toward our cushion, then sitting again.
It is as simple as one foot in front of the other!

Does somebody have a copy of the article on how to create a dummy suomi from the january (20th I think) issue of shotgun news? If so can you share it?
Depending on how it is done, I'd like to create one. If the guys out there building the SGN-9 are only using the bolt and barrel, I could even make one out of the left over parts with a dummy barrel.
Anybody have that article?

UTSA Spotlight: Michelle Montanio says campus community members go above and beyond to help others
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 27, 2008)--Michelle Montanio, assistant director of student activities, oversees the daily operations of the Office of Student Activities and Student Activities Center at the Downtown Campus. She has worked at the campus since it opened 10 years ago.Her job is to help provide involvement opportunities for students that enhance their overall experience at UTSA.
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

JB: What's different now from 10 years ago?
MM: It amazes me that enrollment has grown from 1,900 students to more than 6,400 students and the physical lay of the land has grown from one building to four in such a relatively short time.
JB: Are things easier? More difficult?
MM: From day one, the Downtown Campus has truly been a community of caring where everyone goes above and beyond to help others. Time has not changed this core value, which is why it is a joy to work at the Downtown Campus.
JB: What's the biggest challenge of working at Downtown Campus?
MM: The biggest challenge for me is having to commute to the 1604 Campus on a weekly basis, but it is also an opportunity to stay connected and build community with colleagues.
JB: From your point of view, what is the Downtown Campus' role at UTSA?
MM: The Downtown Campus' role at UTSA is to support the overall mission of the university and provide unique opportunities based on the Downtown Campus' location and resources.
For example, the College of Architecture and College of Public Policy are natural fits for the Downtown Campus because they allow their students to connect and contribute to the community in unique ways that would not be possible from the 1604 Campus.
JB: What do you think is the Downtown Campus' role in the community?
MM: The Downtown Campus' role in the community is to provide additional access to higher education and other outreach resources.
JB: Describe your best day or memory at the Downtown Campus.
MM: This is a difficult question to answer because I have so many... like the first day we opened the campus and welcomed the very first student to come through the doors. I still remember his name -- Mario Guerra III.
My favorite memories have been helping to create traditions at the Downtown Campus, like "Jazz in the Plaza" and the pre-Fiesta event, "NIUTSA."

If you search for a full name or a name with an initial, enter it in the format used internally, namely the "Lastname, Firstname" or "Lastname, F." format.
This mode differs from the all fields mode in two respects. First, some information not publicly available on the site is searched, e.g., abstracts and excerpts gathered by the crawler, which are not always accurate but can help broaden one's search. Second, you may prefix any term with a '+' or '-' to narrow the search to entries containing it or not containing it, respectively. Terms which are not prefixed by a '+' are not mandatory. Instead, they are weighed depending on their frequency in order to determine the best search results. You may also search for a literal string composed of several words by putting them in double quotation marks (").

Cooper wins something - against a non-player; little passion at Newcastle reports.
Spotted in Auckland recently, former league superstar turned Australian Rules footballer Israel Folau. Someone point him in the direction of Penrose, please.
More game time?
With a knee injury ruling Quade Cooper out of the remainder of the Rugby Championship he should have more time to beat fans at PS3 game FIFA after routing a Twitter follower a few weeks back.
Cooper put out a call on Twitter ahead of the Wallabies' match against the Springboks in Perth: "Serious anyone in the wild west 'Perth' that has FIFA12 on ps3 n wants a whooping ... I'll come whoop you :)," he tweeted.
Perth resident Kiel Henry responded, picking up Cooper from the team hotel with teammates Kurtley Beale and Digby Ioane tagging along.
"I didn't know what to bring, so I did buy a six pack of beers and some chips and some cokes," Kiel told Foxsports.com.au.
"But they didn't have anything at all! They did want sparkling water but I didn't have any at the time."
Cooper got the better of Henry, must be the first time that's been written in a while, winning 4-1.
Swing and a miss
The Toronto Blue Jays suspended shortstop Yunel Escobar for three games for wearing eye-black displaying a homophobic slur in Spanish during a Major League Baseball game last weekend against Boston.
The phrase read "Tu Ere Maricon" which translates to "You Are A Fa***t.
Escobar insisted the word is often used within teams and by Latinos and said: "I didn't see it as something bad at the time.
"My decorator is gay, and my hairdresser is gay, and I have various friends who are gay.
"Honestly they haven't been as offended," he added.
Escobar's lost salary during the ban, about US$82,000, ($99,000) will be directed to two advocacy groups, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and You Can Play.
Hits and misses
Reports that the Newcastle Jets are looking to sign English striker Emile Heskey is failing to get the same enthusiasm among A-League fans as Sydney's signing of Italian great Alessandro del Piero did.
Heskey has often been the butt of jokes across England for his inability to score. In an 18-year football career, Heskey, a striker, has scored just 117 goals in 546 matches. Of his 62 caps for England he scored just seven times, one more than defender John Terry who netted six in his first 58 games.
Following England's 5-1 victory over Germany during the 2002 World Cup qualifiers the chant "5-1 - even Heskey scored" has rung out around grounds during encounters between the two rivals ever since.
Unlike Heskey, the English press didn't miss an easy shot when the striker became engaged.
"It'll be nice for Emile when he weds Chantelle Tagoe. It'll make a change to hear 'Mrs Heskey' instead of 'Heskey misses'," one newspaper reported.
The Jets are looking to pay a reported A$1 million ($1.2 million) for his services.
Out in the cold
A onesie pyjama suit selling on the Newcastle football website has failed to impress the club's supporters who are notorious for going topless at home games during northern England's balmy winter months. The adult-sized outfit, priced at £25 ($48), is proclaimed by the club as "perfect for keeping warm", Metro.co.uk reports.
Though it doesn't seem like the item will be heading off the shelves at quick pace.
"The opposition fans would wet their pants if they saw that," one fan said on the website.
Another tweeted: "@NUFCOfficial there isn't a day goes by where you don't try to sell us some pointless tat."
It doesn't seem like the most ridiculous item sold on the club website. Since when do you need sunglasses in Newcastle?
Stat of the week
20: The number of players sent off during an Argentine club match between Villa Raquel and La Amistad when a brawl broke out. "This is just too much. We're a football league, not a boxing promoter. The discipline will be dramatic," a Liga Correntina spokesman said. The question remains: What were the two players who weren't sent off doing?

|♫ We're not listening ♫
Denialism is the culture of denying an established fact; when a person or group refuses to believe or accept a theory, law, fact or evidence of a well established discipline in an authoritative way. Usually this is despite overwhelming evidence, and usually for motives of convenience. Because of these motives, denialism is often subject to and powered by confirmation bias. Denial of fact is one of the methodologies in woo.[1]
In scientific denialism, the denialist can deny a cause (carbon dioxide does not cause global warming), an effect (global warming does not occur), the association between the two (the earth is warming, but not because of carbon dioxide), the temporal relationship (carbon dioxide concentrations are increased because the earth is warming) or the isolation of the cause-and-effect relationship (other factors than greenhouse gases cause the earth to warm). Often denialists will practice minimization (the earth is warming, but it's not harmful) and will use misplaced skepticism in the veneer of being a scientist when it is unwarranted.
Major targets of denialism include the link between smoking and lung cancer; evolution; the lack of a link between vaccination and autism; and global warming. Often self-interest is the motivation behind denialism, hence targets are often politicised or picked because a denialist can profit from it. For example, tobacco companies denied the smoking-lung cancer link as it would have hurt their profits, and it's been known for some time that Andrew Wakefield had a strong conflict of interest in ensuring people didn't take established and effective vaccines. Similarly, global warming denialists tend to lie on the political right and are ideologically against the solutions that are needed to curb it. Denialism can also fill a deep psychological need, as in the case of answering the question as to why one's child has autism - as, in reality, there is no easy answer.[2]
- See also Characteristics of psuedoscience
The Hoofnagle boys at Denialism Blog on scienceblogs.com have described (using their "Denialists' Deck of Cards" series[3]) how their tactics are remarkably similar. Denialists often claim that an established set of knowledge or scientific theory is not proven or "sound" and lacks evidence (or enough evidence). They will say it is a controversy, requires balance, or requires both the strengths and weaknesses be considered; these make the denialists appear "fair" (and those who oppose them not) and implies doubt in what is being denied with no consideration of evidence. Denialist groups also create their own research to "study the problem" or produce their own body of "competing evidence" which is often poorly performed (if at all, as many are public relations firms). These groups will encourage people to form their own opinions or do their own tests, rather than relying on studies with appropriate controls. Lists of experts (who may have no credentials in the area) are compiled as testimonials, or public relations campaigns are used to improve denialists' images (and often slime the legitamite scholars). Legitimate errors will often be blown out of proportion.[4] Most denialist rhetoric is focused at the layperson and not the expert, and usually paints a contrast between two positions rather than being about one point-of-view.[5] The use of self-generated content on the Internet ("Web 2.0") contributes to the dissemination of denialist content.[6]
Leah Ceccarelli describes the rhetoric of denialists:[7]
""First, they skillfully invoke values that are shared by the scientific community and the American public alike, like free speech, skeptical inquiry, and the revolutionary force of new ideas against a repressive orthodoxy. It is difficult to argue against someone who invokes these values without seeming unscientific or un-American.
Second, they exploit a tension between the technical and public spheres in postmodern American life. Highly specialized scientific experts can't spare the time to engage in careful public communication, and are then surprised when the public distrusts, fears, or opposes them.
Third, today's sophists exploit a public misconception about what science is. They portray science as a structure of complete consensus built from the steady accumulation of unassailable data. Any dissent by any scientist is then seen as evidence thatthere's no consensus, and thus truth must not have been discovered yet.[8]
Diethelm and McKee have identified five characteristics of denialists:[9]
- The identification of perceived conspiracies (including belief of corrupted peer review and inversionism)[10]
- The use of fake experts (often with the smearing of real experts)
- Selecting or cherry picking sources: picking the weakest papers or only ones that are contrary. Particularly worrisome is looking at only a single study, particularly in medicine, as one study rarely conclusively proves something.[11] Others note that this includes anecdotal evidence[2] and quote mining.[12]
- Demanding impossible standards for research
- Use of fallacy, including misrepresentation and false analogy.[13] Informally, this can include a witch's brew of half-truths, sob stories.[14], and/or spin to try to force the public to ignore an important issue.
An example of AIDS-HIV denialist rhetoric is from Herbert Vilakazi:
"""The situation in America is one of intolerance," he [Herbert Vilakazi] continued, never raising his voice. "There are A.R.V.s [antiretroviral drugs]. Only one approach to treating this deadly illness is permitted. You are not allowed to talk about anything else." He said that people are obsessed with whether H.I.V. causes AIDS, but that he considered such arguments "completely academic and not relevant for the treatment of sick people." He went on, "Let us be honest. Who benefits from A.R.V.s? Hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars have been spent on research and you have to get a return on your investment. It is the first rule of pharmaceutical companies, and they simply terrorize their opponents. Very frankly, in America there is an official literature-and there are a lot of people in the African-American community who feel maybe there is a conspiracy and that racism has a lot to do with it. Why, for instance, is AIDS the biggest problem that exists in Africa? You start to wonder if there is a social selection for this disease. Is it not a coincidence that Africa is the poorest continent in the world? Did you ever think that it's in the interest of some people for it to stay that way?"[15]
Denialism vs. Skepticism
It is possible to conflate skepticism and denialism, as proponents of both seem to "deny" that something exists until they're convinced otherwise. However, to say that a skeptic is a homeopathy denier and that a holocaust denier is skeptical would be wrong. While both have a negative or critical tone, the positions are different from each other in how they view and acquire data to support their position.
Skepticism is a method while denialism is a position. The opposite of "skeptic" is not "believer", and it is possible to embrace something while remaining skeptical. This is an important part of the ethos of science as it suggests new experiments to strengthen or falsify a proposition. Skeptics look at experiments to ensure that they were performed properly with the appropriate controls, proper data analysis and so on. The skeptical method involves examining all data and coming to a conclusion that it produces. Denialists, on the other hand, view data slightly differently, as a means to a predetermined end – minimizing its importance if it goes against their opinion, highlighting it if it supports them, or just plain misrepresenting it for their own purposes. Skeptics keep an open mind until data shows that a hypothesis is invalid, while denialists start with the conclusion and look for support. To put it another way, denialism embraces confirmation bias while skepticism seeks to avoid it.
One blogger put it this way:
""Skeptics also ask questions, but a big difference between skeptics and denialists is that skeptics listen to answers and regard evidence as paramount. Denialists tend to see the piles of evidence against their claim, and see a conspiracy theory to perpetuate a hoax. But skeptics accept good evidence. Skeptics have a lot of respect for science, and denialists are usually out to undermine scientists working in the field where they have an agenda. Denialists will wear the costume of scientific thinking, but they usually show a piss-poor understanding how ... the accumulation of studies and data work. (For instance, they promote the idea that if one study can be found to be flawed, this brings down the whole theory, as if the other hundreds of studies don't count.)
This distinction is really important, because the role of skeptics is to dispute and even disprove outrageous conspiracy theory claims. Skeptics fight against denialists. That's why I'm interested in skepticism---I fear that there's a surge of denialist thinking in our culture fueled by new media (which is great at a lot of good things, but also good at spreading misinformation) and the explosion in both complications in world politics and the everyday person's awareness of them. As science begins to dictate more and more of what we know, there's also a cultural backlash that's related to the overall backlash against modernism. Skepticism is becoming more and more important as the political troops to defend science. So when people who are part of the anti-science backlash call themselves "skeptics", this confuses the issue.[16]
The scientitific community's response to the possibility of an arsenic-based life form is a current example of skepticism.[17]
""None of the scientists I spoke to ruled out the possibility that such weird bacteria might exist. Indeed, some of them were co-authors of a 2007 report for the National Academies of Sciences on alien life that called for research into, among other things, arsenic-based biology. But almost to a person, they felt that the NASA team had failed to take some basic precautions to avoid misleading results.[18]
Denialism also differs from legitimate historical revisionism in that the latter acknowledges that a historical event occurred, but uses a different interpretation of evidence. Denialism is usually historical negationism.

- ↑ A more complete definition of denialism: "Denialism is the employment of rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of argument or legitimate debate, when in actuality there is none. These false arguments are used when one has few or no facts to support one's viewpoint against a scientific consensus or against overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They are effective in distracting from actual useful debate using emotionally appealing, but ultimately empty and illogical assertions." [1]

I have a gsd called Mia who is 14 and 3 months of age.
She has started this awful whining between half six and half seven every night. Nothing happens at this time apart from we usually settle down to watch the soaps. At first we thought she was in pain due to arthritis and took her the vets for a check up. I took a video of the whining to show the vet. The vet confirmed she did have arthritis in her shoulders now ( already had it in her back legs) so upped her tramadol dose but did discuss could be other things also. She now has one tablet in the morning, which then lasts 8 hours according to the vet and to then give her the second one to get her through the evening. We thought great, glad we have sorted it. But the whining has not stopped.
My husband is convinced it is behavioural. She will go all day without a murmur then as soon as I'm home it starts. The other night I went out for dinner with friends and my husband said she was quiet the entire time. As soon as I got back she started. The weird thing is she doesn't look at me when she's doing it. Tonight I have tested the theory. Sat here watching t.v. and she starts. As soon as I go into the hall way she stops. As soon as I come back she starts. Surely a dog in pain would continue regardless of whether I was in the room or not? We never hear the whining at night or are ever woken up by it which is another reason my husband says it is not pain related. I have just taken her out for a walk this evening in the hope that might tire her out and make her sleep.
She has been doing this for the last month or so.
Last week me and hubby went on holiday for a week to Portugal. My parents looked after her. When we dropped her off she fell asleep on the rug so rather than have big goodbyes we just snook out. For two days she was fine. Then she stopped eating and refused anything and everything my parents offered. They were reduced to hand feeding her chicken breast and called the vet several times for advice. I had told my vet I would be away and trust her to do anything needed in case of emergency. Mia was an absolute state when I got home and my poor parents nerves were in shreds. She goes to my parents any days me and my husband are both at work. I drop her off at 8 and collect her at 4. She grew up most of years in this family home. But I guess she has always been my dog. When I moved out to live with hubby four years ago my parents suggested keeping her as we work but she got so distressed at seeing me every now and again rather than all the time. My parents are convinced she was pining for me while I was away. She started eating as soon as we got her home but was very off with me. She followed me everywhere, lay next to me but kept giving me filthy looks. It was only today (almost a week after returning from holiday) that I received a greeting on my return from work with a lick and waggy tail.
Is this separation anxiety, attention seeking or dementia? I know not to reward the behaviour by fussing over her but is there anything else to do or not do?
At a loss what to do. It's heart breaking to listen to. http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/im...s/icon_cry.gif
I am ignoring her as I write this and she has now settled. http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/im...n_rolleyes.gif
Old dogs, like people, have a harder time adjusting to change.
My 14 year(s) old got demented and followed me everywhere to the point of exhaustion. Some I have euthanized when their brains went haywire as no one had quality of life, whether us or the dogs themselves.
For now make her life as predictable as possible, maybe crate her more often if she is crate trained at all. She is not mad at you, but more likely keeping a close eye on you that you interpret as "being mad" because you feel guilty (?).
I also forgot to mention I am five months pregnant. Someone on another forum who knew this has suggested this might be the cause. My change in smell maybe? It has just started to sink in with my husband and I. I wonder if we are giving off anxious/excited/nervous vibes...
Your description sounds like Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. I just went through this with my senior non-GSD.
and besides that, your pregnancy is a major change too. My dogs have always reacted to that. Female became clingier, male more distant.
She does many of the other 'symptoms' - circling, standing/getting stuck in cornors, greeting me then forgetting where I am.
Thankyou so much for your comment.
maybe this one behavior where it would be ok to pet here during this behavior.
I think it is such a gift to have them this long... I think it is OK to spoil her and make her feel comfortable. Maybe she is just telling you the story of her day when the family settles down to watch TV. love her and spoil her... She has earned it.

Secure Network Design
For those of you that design networks or suggest designs do you still feel that layer firewalls (from different vendors) is still a valuable part of defensive in depth? From your experience, do companies tend to use this in the SMB enterprises?
Just want to get someone else's perspective. I am submitting a proposal for our new network design on Wednesday and the other guy and I have some very, very different opinions.

The righteous glow of virtue (and macho swagger) was still in full illumination in 1949 when the musical South Pacific hit Broadway, with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan. Directed by Bartlett Sher, the touring production has settled into the Providence Performing Arts Center (through December 12) for a full-throated, celebratory visit.
Winner of the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for drama, this gold-standard for boffo Broadway entertainment was drawn from another Pulitzer winner, James A. Michener's 1947 Tales of the South Pacific, weaving three of its stories into one. The war in the Pacific is kept safely in the background, for the most part. On this naval base in the Solomon Islands, we get to know some fun-loving members of the Navy construction core known as the Seabees, and a few officers and nurses.
One of the latter, Ensign Nellie Forbush (Carmen Cusack) from Little Rock — a hick from the sticks, as she admits — is getting interested in a sophisticated French planter, Emile de Becque (David Pittsinger). She is seriously thinking of leaving her American life behind and living here in this South Sea paradise. Trouble is, she doesn't know yet that he has two brown-skinned children, a fact he's loath to disclose. The other love story is also reluctant. Marine Lieut. Joseph Cable (Anderson Davis) falls for an innocent young native girl, Liat (Sumie Maeda). She is the daughter of a Tonkinese woman the sailors call Bloody Mary (Jodi Kimura), a colorful local character who sells grass skirts and boars' tusk bracelets and such. As poignant love stories go, the two men eventually have to go on a secret mission from which they have little chance of returning: sneaking onto a Japanese-held island and radioing back ship locations.
The hands-down star of this production is Pittsinger, and not just because the other male lead, younger and movie-star-handsome, is so light on the charisma. Pittsinger's credits are all in operas, none for musicals, and he's a good actor, so his emotionally resonant baritone is a wonder to behold. His booming "Some Enchanted Evening" had the audience clapping their hands off, delaying proceedings slightly. Pittsinger soars in the role opera star Ezio Pinza created in 1949.
The other performances are fine. Cusack's Nellie maintains dignity through her self-conscious unsophistication. But two characters here cut loose. As Bloody Mary, Kimura remains good fun through the little woman's broken-English bargaining. The main opportunity for comedy is given to sailor Luther Billis, and Timothy Gulan has the hustling character run himself ragged with schemes, such as contracting out for fake shrunken heads.
This musical's creators significantly advanced the cause of integration by including the song "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught," the year after President Harry Truman desegregated a reluctant Armed Forces. The moral centerpiece of this story is racial bigotry. Nellie is stunned that De Becqu has two Eurasian children from his late Polynesian wife, and leaves him at first because of this, before returning. By including "Carefully Taught" for Cable to sing to de Becque in explanation, the authors risked the show's financial success.

Reviews of this property
I choose to stay at Kenny's place and I had an amazing time in Nyc
Kenny is an amazing person, very friendly.
He made me feel his place like home.
The apartment is very clean and cozy, in a super nice condo
The subway is very closed and it will take you so fast to get to Manhattan
I'll be in Nyc next month, totally sure I'm going to stayonce again at Kenny's
Ciao Kenny, Grazie di tutto! see u soon amico!
xx Milli
In the first place i wasn`t sure if its the right decision to use a portal like wimdu instead of a normal hotel. My trip to nyc and to stay with kenny in brooklyn proved me wrong :)
Kenny is a very nice and careing person. Befor my trip we changed mobile numbers to use whatsapp for our communication. Nearly every day he texted me and asked if anything is okay and if he can help with anything. He even asked if i need an ac adapter for my mobile :) After my trip and as i went back to germany he even asked if my flight was okay and if i landed safely.
Long story short : I went to nyc as a stranger and went back home as a friend !
Great trip ! Great stay ! Thank you very much kenny !
PS : Sad to say that i didn`t got the time to use the whirlpool at to top of the roof ;)
You plan a trip to nyc ? Stay here !!
The appartment is clean, modern and well located close to the subway and busses. Kenny is a very friendly and helpful host, I had a wonderful stay at his home.
It was nice to stay at Kenny's home. You have a lot of privacy. Nevertheless, Kenny was always available in case of questions and supported as with a bunch of information at the beginning of our stay (such as nearby bars and restaurants or where to buy food). The apartment is modern in a nice building. With the metro (L line), you can ride to Manhattan in 25 minutes, which is very convenient. Please inform yourself about the neighborhood before staying there, as you cannot expect upper west side atmosphere for that money.
We had a wonderful stay at Kennys apartment. The Apartment is in Bushwick. The next station is Halsey station and it is just a 4 Minute Walk to that Station (L-Line) along a typical Bushwick Graffiti street. The room is beautifully decorated, private, quiet and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. There is a rooftop Jacuzzi which is Highly recommended. We were there at sunset, with a beautiful view of Manhattans Skyline. Kenny staid in contact with us via whatsapp and was really, really helpful all the time. The best host we could have Imagined. We couldn't have asked for more and we will definitely be staying here again when we return to NYC. Thank you Kenny!
Hi all,
I had a very comfortable, quiet and awesome stay in a very clean flat.
Kenny is a great guy. He is friendly, very helpful and does not hesitate to make the stay as most comfortable as possible.
I was happy to be there. The flat is very clean, everything is available and can be used, the kitchen is well organized, the bathrooms are VERY clean and have everything you need. TVs are superb, TV program selection is great. The rooftop offers jacuzzi and is very nice, with a cool view to Manhattan.
The Halsey Subway L stop is right around the corner (3 minutes walk) and stops directly at Union Square in Manhattan.
Kennys flat is a good compromise between JFK airport and Manhattan. 1 hour from JFK to the flat and 25 minutes from the flat to Manhattan.
I will definetly come back to Kenny´s home. Also, I want to highly recommend this flat. You will find also on the next corner a nice grocery store, that offers everything you need. Dunkin Donuts can be found as well, at the Gas station, were also the L Subway stop is located.
Kenny - thank you for everything. It was very great!
My girlfriend and I had a great week at Kenny's. Kenny left us 100% privacy but was there for us if we needed help with the use of his apartment or information about the city. His entire apartment including our room has been very clean (at least the parts we took a look at). The rooftop is - as depicted - awesome! The view at Manhattan's skyline is overwhelming and even better than the pics promise. Apart from the apartment, which provides all the comfort you can ask for, there's a gym, a pool and a sauna in the cellar, which are in good condition and free to use for guests. The other people who live in the building are nice, the neighborhood is save. 20-30 mins. to get to Manhatten, metro station (Halsey Street) is just 2 mins. away from the apartment. All in all: I believe that you can't find a better accommodation for this price! Thank you Kenny! Kathi&Max
Kenny is very friendly and helpful. He helps where he can and gives tips etc.
The apartment is clean and ok. The building itself has div. Facilities like swimming pool, Jacuzzi, gym, etc.
Unfortunately, the partition walls to the next room (where other guests sleeping) very thin and you can hear almost everything. The bed creaks with every movement but to lie it is convenient.
The subway station (train no. L) is 5 minutes walk away.
Kenny ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er hilft wo er kann und gibt Tips usw.
Die Wohnung ist sauber und ok. Das Gebäude selber hat div. Ausstattung wie Pool, Jakuzzi, Fitnessraum usw.
Leider sind die Zwischenwände zum Nachbarzimmer (wo andere Gäste schlafen) sehr dünn und man hört praktisch alles. Das Bett quietscht bei jeder Bewegung aber zum Liegen ist es bequem.
Die U-Bahnstation (Zug Nr. L) ist 5 Minuten zu Fuss weg.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

UTSA hosts Downtown Campus blood drive April 3
By Adi Pavlovic
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(March 30, 2006)--UTSA Student Health Services will host a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday, April 3 at the Frio Street Building Multipurpose Room (1.402) on the Downtown Campus.
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
UTSA students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate. All you need to bring is photo identification.
One of every 20 Texans will need blood at some point in their lives. However, less than 5 percent of the eligible donor population gives blood. The UTSA blood drive is a great opportunity to do something great for the community.
If you donate blood, you might help save four lives. Most donated blood is separated into four components: red cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate. Red cells are used for surgical patients, while plasma is used in treatment of shock and burn patients.
Platelets are vital to leukemia and other cancer patients whose bone marrow does not produce enough platelets to help the blood clot properly. The final component, cryoprecipitate, is used to treat hemophiliacs, people whose blood lacks this vital blood clotting protein.
For more information, contact Health Education at (210) 458-4142 or Melissa Escobedo, South Texas Blood and Tissue Center, at (210) 731-5555, ext. 1309.

Snake ID
Hi Frank,
I have finally time to read your travellog. Seems you had a lot of fun on the islands. About the snake picture: unfortunately the angle is wrong so i cant see behind his cheeks. If it had yellow patches behind his head it is 'nastik'(dont know how its in English) and not poisonous. If it didnt have yellow patches then it is an adder and poisonous.

We walked up to the monument for the tragic Estonia shipping accident. It is hard to understand for people who don't live in Estonia, but almost everybody knows somebody who died or who had family on that ferry.
Tagaranna has a lot to offer : wonderful beaches, nice cliffs (Ninase Pank), large forests and some strange windmills like the Old Man and Old Woman (the woman got burned down recently). Piret went back to Kuressaare with our luggage (we would spend the night at her uncle's) and Claudia and I took our time to walk in the forests.
When we were almost back to our starting point, we realised that I had lost the Estonia Map. A really good map by the way. So I ran back for about 4 kms till I found it where we thought I had left it, and then we got an sms from Piret saying that the accommodation at her aunt's wouldn't work out, but that we could camp in her grandmother's garden.
We took a bus, drove back to Kuressaare, ate in an Italian restaurant (La Perla) and then walked to the Grandmother's home.
Grandma didn't speak English but she knew some German words and we communicated in a mixture of German, Estonian and hand signals. She called Piret to ask to translate for us, and it turned out that we didn't have to sleep in the garden, but we could sleep on the sofa. Estonian hospitality is just wonderful.

text: I racked my mead about two weeks ago after the primary fermentation had effectively ended. My difference in hydrometer readings adjusted for temperature worked out to about 18 1/2 % alcohol. I have watched 15 minutes for a bubble thru the lock and not had one vent so I think it is pretty well finished fermenting. It no longer tastes funky, it just tastes real yeasty. Now that it is in a carboy, the clarity is still really poor but there is a whitish foam substance in a lacy pattern accross the top. The bottom two inches are quite white and cloudy. It does not appear to be a solid cake of yeast. Should I rack it again now or give it some more time before racking it again? I think God is teaching me patience but I am having fun and want to do this right.

Those of you who have had a 46-inch +/- top bar hive(s) for several years, on the average how many bars of honey do you get per year for your own personal use?
When do you begin and stop taking it?
Those of you who have had a 46-inch +/- top bar hive(s) for several years, on the average how many bars of honey do you get per year for your own personal use?
When do you begin and stop taking it?
I live in a poor honey producing region where pollination is more important than honey production. For me it is pretty easy to harvest once in the fall and take 40lbs of honey and leave the colonies 14 to 16 combs with their own honey to winter on. The combs in my hives will hold as much honey as a deep frame will hold.
I just pulled 5 combs of honey from one of my second year hives. Got 5 lbs per comb.
I could have pulled more, but that was all I needed! Figured the colony needs it more than me this year.
Could have easily pulled 30+ pounds this first year. I will pull in the spring just before dandelions bloom.
Thanks, folks. I had no idea that I might get more than one or two quarts of 44 ounces each.

Hello friends of TBH, I harvested 14 kg honey. Swarm of May only top carrier.
The real question should be how much to leave in the hive for winter in you're area. Amount of honey in the hive will vary from year to year.
Exactly, That's why I said its more important to know how much to leave, then you can calculate how much to take.
You can leave all the honey in the hive during the winter and harvest in spring instead. No need to calculate like this. This is what Phil Chandler does and a few more beeks from biobees.com
I will do this on one of my hives next year and see how it works. I like the idea because whatever honey is left in Spring is the true surplus honey
This with my Africanized bees here in Honduras so take that into consideration. Also, I dont do intensive management with my hivessometimes none. Some I only enter to take honey.
So with that said, the stronger hives can give me 20 to 24 bars of honey. The size of each comb is the equivalent of a deep frame. Most of my top bar hives average four to four-and-a-half feet in length.
What I leave for the dearth are the half-filled combs and there are also usually brood combs with a nice strip of capped honey along the top. I dont feed (if I actually do) until later in the dearth period when the excess honey is about gonebut since this is the tropics that can be done whenever.

Property expert warns on risk of rushing into strengthening job.
Smart commercial landlords should strengthen their buildings well beyond the legal requirement - or hold off for now, says a property consultant.
Christchurch's earthquakes have brought the issue of seismic strengthening into the spotlight, and owners around the country are facing million-dollar bills to upgrade their buildings.
But Brian Jones, director of the Hampton Jones building consultancy, says they should not look to cut corners or do the bare minimum, as building standards may quickly change and public perceptions of what is acceptable may follow.
The Building Act of 2004 requires all buildings to be brought up to 33 per cent of the design level of what a new building must achieve to withstand a moderate earthquake.
Councils around the country have been given the job of identifying buildings that don't meet that standard, and telling owners to upgrade them. But many have been given decades to do the work.
Jones says landlords will be wise to hold off on doing the work for now.
The commission of inquiry looking at the Canterbury earthquake is yet to produce its findings and recommendations, and he suspects that when it does it could prompt more changes to the building code.
Owners who have brought their buildings up to the minimum standard required may find they have to do the work again. "Landlords undertaking strengthening work in the short term may wish to go beyond meeting current minimum strengthening standards, as I believe the building standards will be increased once the review of current standards has been completed," says Jones.
Waiting is the best option, he says, unless an anchor tenant such as a Government department has a lease coming up for review and strengthening work is a condition of it continuing.
Jones says the market also appears to be demanding more strengthening than the law requires.
Many banks are requiring buildings to be up to 80 per cent of the modern standard if they are to occupy them. He says owners may find it hard to sell or let buildings that are perceived to be unsafe.
"The return on investment isn't going to take long when you take into account time when a building is off the market without tenants."
He says once work is started, strengthening beyond the minimum is not much more expensive. He would not put a dollar figure on the extra investment, saying it varied depending on a building's size and construction. Unreinforced masonry buildings are the most expensive to upgrade.
"If you're upgrading a steel frame or concrete frame, the difference between 40 per cent and 70 per cent is not significant compared to all the other costs."
But the Wellington City Council's seismic activity manager, Steve Cody, did not agree with the call to wait.
His council has a deadline of 2014 to complete its round of building assessments, and owners have up to 20 years to do the work.
He says he encourages people to maximise the strength of their buildings and says if people can afford to do it immediately, they should.
He says the projected building boom in Christchurch could make it harder to find people to take on the work in future.
Morgan Wilson, owner of Zippy Central Cafe in Rotorua, was surprised by the amount of work needed to strengthen the building that housed his business. He says his landlord had been left out of pocket by the work, which took longer than expected. Upstairs was a Government department which required a higher seismic standard for its premises.
The work forced Zippy out of business for three months.
"The place was absolutely stripped. The worst thing is everyone loses, the tenant and the landlord."

"The Business Side of Beekeeping" has the Commercial beekeeping and pollination forum, but no option for sideliners and people who keep bees for money but also have another job which provides most of their income.
I know there is a decent proportion of users of this site who do just that. Things that differentiate them from "commercial" beekeeper include the following: They do not make all their income from bees. They typically sell direct to consumers rather than in bulk or wholesale. Some of them do travel for pollination, but many of them don't. They often spend major portions of time at events like Farmer's Markets. Their equipment like extractors and trucks are smaller in scale.
I was wondering if I could get some sort of consensus on whether a new forum geared toward discussion of information and methods of these people would be a good idea. I don't want to criticize the commercial forum, but rather offer another similar forum for people who do business but don't fit in with the commercial crowd.
