text: This is my second year of wintering bees. I have been giving some thought to raising queens and splitting my hives. I made up some queen cell cups from my own beeswax. I was wondering if I did cell punch method could I put those in the the queen cups or am I better to graft larvae. I have a punch that will allow the cell to fit perfectly into the cell cups. Just wondering if this would work or not. Be gentle here, I am pretty new to this and just thinking out loud right now. Thanks for any input.

Greetings, and let me start by saying thanks up front for a great forum with everyone's insights, curiosity, hard work, willingness to help, etc., etc. I am brand new to beekeeping and fell in love with TBHs immediately. Though starting late, I was able to make a hive (with observation widows) and then put bees in on June 1st. Here's my short history with my current questions/concerns:
June 1: Installed a 5 frame nuc. Had to chop & crop. 3 frames/bars were dark brown/black with brood and honey and were easy to cut and install. 1 frame/bar had brood on tough yellow plastic with some brood emerging as I worked. The last frame was also tough yellow plastic and it barely had comb started so I didn't install it.
After install, the bees seemed fine. They covered the old comb and started drawing new comb. I set up a station feeder with 1:1 syrup in a poultry feeder, and I usually left around 1-2 tablespoons of pollen (from a local health store) on their landing board each day. They usually took in all the pollen each day, but never seemed to touch the syrup.
Around June 6: The bees seemed to cluster and "beard" outside the entrance/above the landing board in the evenings, and I started worrying about swarming. I also want to rotate the original chopped nuc bars out, so I placed empty top bars between the chopped nucs, including one at the entrance. I discovered that they had been very busy making some new white comb on a couple of empty top bars that were behind the 4 chopped nucs. I also swapped out the 1:1 syrup for 2:1 and placed it on a table right in front of the hive. Still no takers. But they kept taking the pollen on the landing board.
June 11 (Monday) to now: Noticed a few bees walking "aimlessly" on ground about 5 feet from hive, and this has been increasing. I also see more dead bees--about 5-10--on the ground, and a few in the hive. (This morning there were two on the landing board who were just about dead. ) Their activity around the rear comb/bars seems at a standstill, and there's no "congestion" below the comb and the bottom screen (like in the past). The entrance is not "congested" either. It looks almost unguarded actually, so I plugged 2/3 of the openings.
I switched back to 1:1 syrup in the station feeder, and even added a small shallow bowl feeder inside the hive. I've only seen one bee feed from the hive feeder though. I plan on doing a complete inspection this afternoon (weather permitting) to see what the brood and laying patterns look like, and to see if I can find the queen.
But I'm wondering if I stressed them into Nosmema, and/or is something else is happening.
I'll post what I see, but any comments/thoughts are welcome in the meantime.
Thanks in advance.

INCEST AND INFLUENCE: The Private Life of Bourgeois England. Adam Kuper. viii + 296 pp. Harvard University Press, 2009. $27.95.
In 1871, a short skit in the humor magazine Punch titled "Most Natural Selection" proclaimed that "If Mr. Darwin's theory of the Descent of Man were true, we should . . . have to accept quite new views of marriage." Insisting that it was preferable that married couples should not be near relations, such as cousins, the skit claimed that "if we are descended from Anthropoid Apes . . . we should conclude that there was no cause or just impediment whatever why we should not marry cousins so very many more degrees removed than any other as those arboreal and quadrumanous ones." Punch's characteristically facetious contribution to the famous debates over evolution in Victorian Britain undoubtedly shocked many readers with its grotesque and disquieting insinuations regarding conjugal relations between humans and simians. But Charles Darwin himself, who had pronounced himself reconciled to man's bestial ancestry in his earliest notebooks, would more likely have been discomfited by what the skit suggested about cousin marriage, for in 1839 he had married Emma Wedgwood, a woman who was both his first cousin and his sister-in-law.
Persistent intermarriage between members of Darwin's family and the Wedgwood clan effectively intertwined two bourgeois dynasties of the English Midlands. A plethora of biographical studies of the great evolutionist and the ongoing publication of his correspondence have revealed the particularities of this complex family network in great detail, with the result that more is perhaps known about Darwin's extended family than that of any comparable figure (with the obvious exception of royalty). In Incest and Influence, an illuminating study of the significance of cousin marriages for the 19th-century English bourgeoisie, Adam Kuper therefore uses Darwin as an exemplar of a more general tendency.
The book opens with an account of Darwin's protracted deliberation over whether and whom to marry. His choice of a close relation as his spouse was, as Kuper makes clear, entirely unexceptional for a man of his social position in England at that time: In the Victorian upper middle classes, more than 1 marriage in 10 was between first or second cousins. A similar number of marriages were between brothers- and sisters-in-law, meaning that about 1 person in 5 married within the family circle. This emphasis on endogamy was an effective means for bourgeois families like the Darwin-Wedgwoods to sustain beneficial domestic connections and to safeguard the property and riches accrued from the nascent industrial economy. Great intermarried families therefore came to dominate trades such as ceramics (the Wedgwood family's pottery was world famous) and banking (the largest bank in the world, the House of Rothschild, was a family firm, and many Quaker banking families, including the Barclays and the Gurneys, intermarried and eventually merged their banks).
Unlike other scions of such families, Darwin took a keen interest in the scientific aspects of interbreeding and heredity. Throughout his career he remained acutely concerned as to "whether or not consanguineous marriages are injurious to man," as he put it in the conclusion to the Descent of Man in 1871. Darwin thus plays a further part in Incest and Influence as one of the foremost proponents (along with his cousin Francis Galton) of a more empirical approach to questions of heredity.
In 1870, Darwin participated in an attempt to get Parliament interested in collecting evidence to determine whether cousin marriages had "injurious consequences." When the attempt failed, he designed a study to address the question and asked his son George,* who was a mathematician and amateur genealogist, to carry it out. George Darwin consulted marriage records, studied genealogies of the peerage and landed gentry, sent out questionnaires to upper-middle- and upper-class families, and gathered statistics from mental asylums, eventually concluding that the proportion of patients in the asylums who were the offspring of first-cousin marriages (about 3 to 4 percent) was about what one would expect given his estimate that 3.5 percent of middle-class marriages were between first cousins. The only finding that gave him pause was that although 3 to 3.5 percent of the men at Oxford and Cambridge were the sons of first-cousin parents, only 2.4 percent of the men who rowed for those universities (and were thus presumably extremely fit) were the offspring of cousins. In the end, he found little evidence that interbreeding between cousins was injurious, at least in the middle and upper classes, and both his father and Francis Galton endorsed his conclusions.
Curiously, as Kuper shows, for much of the 19th century the principal legal concern with so-called incest was actually over marriage with a deceased wife's sister, which was prohibited by Scripture and did not become legal until 1907. It was only after the First World War that scientific opinion hardened decisively against cousin marriage. Interestingly, the most recent genetic studies, as Kuper remarks in the book's coda, now generally concord with George Darwin's view that the risks to the offspring of first-cousin marriages are well within the limits of acceptability—that is, so long as cousin marriages are not repeated over several generations.
It is well known that Charles Darwin's life was blighted by recurrent stomach complaints (which resembled the fatal ailments of his Wedgwood mother) and by persistent anxieties over the health of his own children. Like many biographers, Kuper endeavors to discern a clear link between Darwin's putatively fretful domestic circumstances and his revolutionary scientific thought. He cites the following passage from Darwin's 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication:
The existence of a great law of nature is almost proved; namely, that the crossing of animals and plants which are not closely related to each other is highly beneficial or even necessary, and that interbreeding [i.e., inbreeding] prolonged during many generations is highly injurious.
Kuper then speculates that Darwin "was bound to consider the implications for his own family. His scientific project and his personal concerns could hardly be separated."
Significantly, however, the phrase "closely related" in the above passage from Variation refers not to the crossing of plant or animal "cousins," but rather (as is clear from sentences that precede it but are not quoted by Kuper) to more unambiguously incestuous unions, such as a male animal "paired with his daughter, granddaughter, and so on" or "matching brothers and sisters, which is considered the closest form of interbreeding." In fact, in a passage added to the second edition of Variation in 1875, Darwin insists that "consanguineous marriages, such as are permitted in civilised nations . . . would not be considered as close interbreeding in the case of our domesticated animals." It is, I would suggest, only by blurring the distinctions between Darwin's interest in "close interbreeding" (a deliberately precise phrase that he uses repeatedly in both On the Origin of Species and Variation) and his related but nonetheless distinct concern with "consanguineous marriages" that Kuper can sustain the assertion, made in the introduction to Incest and Influence, that Darwin's apparent "personal obsession" with cousin marriage played a central role in "provoking revolutionary ideas about breeding and heredity."
Such unwarrantedly audacious claims and the book's sensationally alliterative title (hardly anyone used incest to describe cousin marriage in the period under consideration) actually militate against what I consider its main insight in relation to Darwin and Victorian society more generally: that cousin marriage amongst the English bourgeoisie between the 1790s and 1910s was pervasive and entirely commonplace. Our own attitudes to such unions are, as Kuper acknowledges, perhaps more prejudiced than those of any previous period, and this contemporary abhorrence is no more based on unequivocal scientific grounds than was the Victorians' seeming acceptance of the practice.
Incest and Influence presents a richly detailed and fascinating picture of the distinctive family life of the Victorian bourgeoisie, which Kuper considers "one of the great neglected themes of nineteenth-century history." This portrait affords a useful corrective to the excitable assumptions of many of Darwin's biographers (most notably Adrian Desmond and James Moore) that his marital circumstances were so anomalous and worrying that they spurred on his researches even into the self- and cross-fertilization of plants.
*Due to an editing error, in an earlier version of this review George was misidentified as Charles Darwin's eldest son. Darwin's first-born son was actually William Erasmus Darwin.

1962 Willys - Short BedPosted in Features on June 1, 2013 Comment (0)
Has our boredom with cookie-cutter Jeeps gone too far? Look, we aren't and haven't been saying that if you find a build that works for your platform and intended usage, do it. It would be dumb to try and reinvent the wheel every time. But what if you had an idea on how to make the Tweel… but figured it out 40 years ago? Long before "Expeditioning" was a word, cell phones weren't even in sci-fi comic books, and radios weighed 100 pounds and were anything but portable, going out into the wilderness was a true test of your skills. Either you came back because of what you knew and what you took out there with you, or you didn't. No GPS or satellite texting back then, either. If couldn't read a map and compass, you'd get lost very quickly.
Well, way back then is when Joe Brown built this Willys truck to take his boys wheeling and camping. We ran into his son, Jeff Brown, cruising along out at TDS Desert Safari in early 2012, and of course the first thing we noticed was just how much the bed was bobbed. Second thing was the V-8 rumble coming from the exhaust. So, we spun a U-turn and ran after him like the fat kid chasing the Twinkie on the string to talk with him about this neat-looking '62.
Back when Joe built the Willys, his chosen profession was metal fabrication, so it is no surprise that the frame, suspension, and bed modifications are very well done. It took Joe about 4 years back in the early '70s to get it done, but he did well and the truck is still running today in basically the same configuration as it was back then.
Let's start with the obvious, the rear frame. The frame was shortened to help with the breakover and rear departure angles and ends up with a 98-inch wheelbase that would look long on a CJ-7 but looks much shorter on this truck. The stock rear suspension, hangers and all, was chopped off and moved forward as much as possible to still keep the rear fenders. This effectively moved the rear springs down on the frame and ended up providing lift even with the stock springs. Then the rear of the frame was lopped off just past the rear spring perch for an awesome departure angle. Even with the drastic wheelbase reduction, Joe was still able to stuff two gas tanks back under the bed for a total of 43 gallons of onboard fuel (10 front, 33 rear)
Up front Rancho lift springs were used to level the truck, but stock-length shocks were used front and rear. In front of the grille a Warn Belleview-style winch was sunk between the framerails with a custom front crossmember also serving bumper duties. The winch is controlled by factory Warn cables which are routed into the cab.
When Joe originally built the Jeep back in the early '70s it had a high-performance 327 from a '65 Chevy backed by a T-10 transmission. But sometime in the '80s that was swapped out for a four-bolt-main 350 out of a '73 Chevy. The engine is stuffed with flat-top pistons and is running a 9.8:1 compression ratio. An Isky cam provides that sound we went chasing and has 0.485-inch lift and an advertised 286-degree duration. Joe not only assembled the engine, but he custom-ported the heads as well. Up top a Q-jet provides the mixture to those hungry ports and runners through an Edelbrock intake manifold. Passing gas out the other end is a pair of ram's horn exhaust manifolds from a Corvette that feed a true-dual 21⁄2-inch-diameter exhaust with a pair of Flowmasters and turn downs right in front of the rear axle.
An 11-inch clutch feeds the current transmission, which is a Muncie M21 of mid 1960s vintage and an Advance Adapters adapter mates that to the factory Spicer 18 T-case with a Warn overdrive. From there power goes out to the axles through 1310-jointed driveshafts. The factory front Dana 27 with a Power-Loc limited-slip differential in it, but the rear Dana 53 is still open and both have 4.27 gears. The 11-inch parade goes on with front and rear 11-inch drums being stepped on thanks to a non-assisted, 1-inch-diameter master cylinder. A Chevy power steering pump pushes a Saginaw box and they have no problem moving the 31x10.50R15 Remington Wide Brutes on 15x8 Steel wheels.
Body and Interior
Under the custom-built white fabric bed cover is the sleeping quarters. During the day when wheeling, you'd say the same thing we did, "There is no way you can sleep in there." But we were wrong. The tailgate folds down and the cover can still cover the person or people sleeping in back. To the left-hand side is a fold-down rack that allows for taking the gear off of the bed and stowing it overhead for sleeping. The bed box was chopped to match the length of the new frame and the fenders moved to cover the wheels, just clearing the cab. The grille was cut to clear the winch, but the rest of the sheetmetal was left pretty much in its stock orientation.
Inside the first thing you notice is the custom vintage '70s-era diamond-tuck upholstery. The headliner, bench seat, door panels, and kick panels all feature the same aftermarket material and stitching. The dash still has the factory speedometer but the other gauges in the center of the dash are aftermarket gauges of various ages. To the left you can see the dual-shaft Sony head unit, and to the right, the GPS for on-road navigation. Between the GPS and the speedo are the factory cable-actuated Warn winch controls. Overhead in the center of cab up against the windshield is a CB radio. If you look closely at the back of the cab, you can see the round closed-cell foam affixed to the aluminum rear window frame which serves as a headrest. The tilt steering wheel was yanked from an old Pontiac.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
The V-8 is awesome, but with that high compression ratio, we don't think it is all that desert-friendly. Then again, it's been between those framerails for 20 years, so that shows us. We like the look of the bobbed bed and how it can still be used for camping and are all about the Spicer 18 with OD and the factory axle gears. We are kind of surprised the axles have survived this long, but then again, not everyone is a gorilla on the gas pedal like we are.

Why I Wrote This Feature
It isn't a monster rockcrawler as you see so often in these pages, but for a desert exploration rig, it works well. We aren't all about the expeditioning here, but when we ran into a vintage Willys built a long time ago that can still go where today's high-dollar super-gee-gaw rigs are going and it's been doing it for 40 years, well, that's something we thought you just had to see.

RIP. Thank you for posting this link
Thanks for the memories and may she rest in peace.
Beautiful voice!
Here's another:
I'm going to break out my greatest hits cd when I get home. Fantastic voice. Sad to hear of her passing.
utterly gutted
Oh no! I will always love this lady.
RIP Etta.
I just saw the news and only recently became aware that she was so sick. Another great one gone.
RIP Etta.
And another of one of my all time favourite singers has left us to join a greater Choir up in the clouds.
As has been said, it's been expected, but still hurts. Truly one of *the* amazing voices. May she rest in peace.
I'll miss her, so.
However, her gift assures, that for as long as we listen to great singers, she'll never be forgotten.
Imagine, the "jam sessions" in heaven!
Thanks, Etta!
My favourite figure skating performance to an Etta James song is by far this:
Sinead Kerr & John Kerr - Short Dance (At Last by Etta James & Shut Up And Let Me Go by The Ting Tings)
RIP, sweet lady.

|RE: st: RE: the "score" command in factor analysis
|Thu, 17 Mar 2005 11:29:44 +0000
I am not clear what your point is here. If you are saying that the sentence you are quoting from the help is abbreviated as a summary of what -score- does, then you are correct. But the fact that the scores are calculated using the coefficients is not contentious. It could hardly be otherwise. The help cannot provide complete documentation for what a command does. That goes beyond the main role of a help file, especially for official Stata command backed up by the manuals and by literature references. -score- also follows -pca-, but a similar point applies. Nick firstname.lastname@example.com louis boakye-yiadom > According to stata's help document for -score-, "score > creates a set of new > variables that are estimates of the factors produced by > factor or rotate > (i.e., unrotated or rotated factors)".

The House Health Care Bill
A Costly Government Takeover of Americans' Health Care (H.R. 3962)
The 1,990-page Democratic health care bill, expected to reach the House floor this week, suffers all the predictable failings that result from its true intent: to initiate a central government takeover of the health sector – one-sixth of the U.S. economy and one of the most valued and personal services Americans have. The bill is a costly behemoth that does the following:

Boomer and Adam Schein were really giving it to Simms tonight on the Monday Quarterback show. Look, it was a knee-jerk comment by Simms, but he's still one of the greatest Giants QB's of all time and one of the nicest guys too. I gave him a pass on this one.
But just imagine if the slide continues. This place will be ugly. Let's hope we are all in our happy place come Sunday night.
They are lacking something... focus? Belief in the goal?
But, what you are talking about has nothing to do with Eli playing badly. If Eli plays better, we can win in spite of a lack of focus/urgency. But, we won't get through the playoffs.
Are we kidding ourselves, or do we really think they're capable oof going all the way?
Well, if you revisit the Carolina and 49er games, I'm convinced you'll see the best team in the NFL.
Now, how do they regain that edge?
I'd like to see a rookie, Wilson in particular, have a big important 4th Qtr. run to snap some people to attention... like Bradshaw did for us in 2007 against Buffalo. He came in and wouldn't let us lose. Not the same old 'Eli to the rescue', comeback win... but, a big run from scrimmage. We need some of that attitude that I think a run like that would help instill. For some reason TC isn't bringing it out of them.... something needs to snap them to attention.
When Eli wins his 3rd SB MVP this year and becomes the undisputed GOAT, will this nonsense stop?

His scientific and educational work has provided the foundation for modern criticism of psychiatric drugs and ECT, and leads the way in promoting more caring and effective therapies. He has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books including the bestseller Talking Back to Prozac (1994, with Ginger Breggin), Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime (2008), and Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: a Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and Their Families (2013).

Most psychiatric drugs can cause withdrawal reactions, including life-threatening emotional and physical reactions. So it is not only dangerous to start psychiatric drugs, it can also be dangerous to stop them.
Withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done carefully under experienced clinical supervision. Methods for safely withdrawing from psychiatric drugs are discussed in Dr. Breggin's book: Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and Their Families.

text: I talked to a friend of mine that care takes an old farm and lives on the property. He had given a bush hog away and when they pulled it out, there was a "bunch of honey bees" in it. I was bummed he didn't call me but excited that there were bees in the area. He agreed to let me put a bait box in his yard. That was last Monday. Put the bait box up Wed. He called me yesterday afternoon telling me there were lots of bees around the box. Tough to get him to describe the behavior so I could determine if they were investigating, or had moved in. Went by today. They were coming and going. Had guards at the entrance. Will wait till I see pollen before I fool with them. Put up another box near that one just in case there's an after swarm :) It was a good day

Hi Dee, long time no chat. There is discussion on a Bee Forum thread (Swarm Trap Question) about using pheromone lures, and I seem to recall your giving a recipe for a good home-made lure mixing "retired" queens, and some sort of excipient in a blender. Could you possibly give us that formula again?
By the way, my bees are almost all down to 4.9 cell size, and even though the varroa finally showed up, the bees are doing well and holding strong colonies with zero chemicals or drugs. I had 20% winter kill, but they show every sign of being caught away from stores by a cold snap, rather than disease. I owe it to your wisdom and the knowledge which you have so freely shared. Thank you.

Sounds about right Karl. Thanks for that satisfying statistic.
<psssstttttt - 10 + 15 + 18 = 43 + 1 = 44 + 1 = 45>
I just read that after less than four years, Barack Obama was rated the 5th Best President, ever.
Reagan and nine others tied for 1st;
Fifteen Presidents tied for 2nd;
Eighteen Presidents tied for 3rd;
Jimmy Carter was 4th; and
Obama came in 5th.

who rated this communist 5th? now when they say jimmie carter was 4th--the picture looks a little more clear--LOL!
looks like we got some "obamma math" going on here!
sort of like lets borrow another 40% over what we need when were only unmpth-teen trillion in the hole!
and lets give some of that 40% oh hell just give it all = another 10% as foreign aid ---to the muzlim brotherhood cause they LOVE the USA so much!--
now tell me which ivy league school did the big "O" go to?--they got some new kind of math there don't they?
even notice that the popular PBS program "math man" got canned --but that gay one got funded--
hell if kids could add --they could figure out what is going on--so lets spend billions to make sure kids can't add or subtract.
probably pushed as an agenda by banking wally-street--
I heard the Muslim Brotherhood named him the 1st. I don't know where you got your number Karl because we know we aren't supposed to challenge the Muslim Brotherhood. I hope no one states those stats on You Tube. It might be seen as an attack on Islam and its American author will be looking at some real jail time.

The Saddleback College Alternative Fuel Vehicle Technician Certification program is the leader in the area for delivering training that consists of the following:
- Plug-in Electric Vehicle Technology
- Hybrid Technology
- Fuel Cell Technology and Hydrogen Technology
- Compressed Natural Gas
- Liquid Natural Gas
- Liquid Petroleum Gas
- Diesel Light Vehicles
- Diesel Heavy Duty Vehicles
Alternative fuels and vehicles are here to stay and we prepare technicians to work on them. With the emphasis on reducing emissions and reducing our dependence on foreign oil supplies, we must develop new methods of powering our vehicles. Light/medium duty gaseous fueled vehicles are available from the manufacturers and the aftermarket industry now.
Gaseous Fuels are not new, but the fuel metering systems have become very sophisticated in order to meet California's emission requirements. Fuel metering systems include Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Hydrogen, Methanol and other. Alternative fuel vehicles are available at local dealer showrooms and require that technicians be well versed in the complex computerized systems on today's automobiles. Technicians must understand the relationship between the networked gaseous fuels computer, and the computerized engine management system on the vehicle.
The economic outlook for technicians in this area is excellent. All major fleets and vehicle manufacturers are looking for technicians with knowledge in the legal and safe operation and maintenance. Technicians will diagnose and repair alternative fueled vehicles, using the latest in computer skills and electronic testing equipment.

[quote user="JPizzack"]For the record....not that MH respects my opinion or anything....but i basically disagree with everything he says about Eli. lol
I mean, i think we all agree this year was amazing, but Eli hasn't changed. He has the tools to get it done, and it shows.
I like where the team is going in terms of figuring out what we need. Clearly they have been trying to rebuild this O-line, and i think that's the way we go in the draft this year. We got quite a few years left of this team staying top tier talent![/quote]Morehead has been right about one thing, Eli has been more patient in the pocket. Other than that I think Elis been playing like he always has but this year the wrs are really gelling with him. Its really been exciting to watch. Other than Tikis insane year this is the greatest offensive performance Iv ever seen from this team. Gives me goosebumps.

Reviews of this property
We came to Paris with several friends from different countries. We loved the stay in Enghien les Bains, the location is great: far enough from Paris to have peace and quiet and close enough to easily reach all the sights and monuments! Laurent gave us good tips about moving around, we ended up buying packs of T+ tickets at the station which helped us to only spend 60 euro's for transportation for 3 days with 10 people! He has plenty of information and brochures at the house to plan your sightseeing. The house is cozy and nice and verything you need is there. We enjoyed our stay!
We stayed in Laurent's house house half of July 2016. We experienced the contact and the help from Laurent not only as professional, but also very personal and warm. Laurent is genuinely interested in making sure your stay is as good as it can be. The house is offering you a warm welcome and is a bit hidden in a kind of alley with a nice garden to relax or for the children to play. We can truly recommend Laurent as a great host and his house for a perfect stay close to Paris.
Laurent was very accommodating. The home was perfect for two families to share. Easy walk to the metro in a safe neighborhood. Communication was constant through the entire trip.
Laurent is an amazing host. He arranged everything for us before hand including a taxi from the airport. When we arrived he greeted us very warmly and presented to us a jar of homemade jam; this was most delicious.
The house is in ideal location. Away from the crowds of central Paris and yet very easy to get to wherever you wish; there are two well connected railway station at a very comfortable walking distance. Supermarket, Bakery, Pharmacy, café and town centre are all within a very easy walking distance.
The town has a beautiful lake where we went jogging and paddling. It gave us a nice break when we didn't want to travel on the train and relax locally.
The house has very spacious living rooms at split levels. These open to the outside and are ideal for a relaxed drink or reading on your own. There is a ping pong table in the yard which is an added bonus.
Laurent and his amazing place is highly recommended. We would love to go back and stay in his house.
Very nice location and thanks to the excellent train (fast and cheap) connection to Paris. Price not cheap but correct.
Heel mooie locatie en dank zij de trein uitstekende (snelle en goedkope) verbinding met Parijs. Prijs niet goedkoop maar correct.
Fantastic and comfortable house in a very nice neighbourhood. Ideal when you travel as a family. The house is close to the train station (15 minutes by train to Gare du Nord) and the city centre of Enghien les Bains. There are no parking problems.
All need and nice to know information about Enghien les Bains and Paris is provided. Laurent is a very nice guy. He speaks English and is responsive when you have any questions.
very good location for visiting Paris. train station 5 minutes walk away, and all amenities within walking distance. no parking! Host delighted to provide you all the desired information.
zeer goede locatie voor een bezoek aan parijs. treinstation op 5 minuten lopen en verder alle voorzieningen op loopafstand. geen parkeerproblemen! de host voorziet je graag van alle gewenste informatie.
ovely house and the landlord as well.very quiet area and very close to the public transport ,so you can get easily at the point that you might want to visit
Very nice accommodations. Very good service from the host. Only praise.
Hele mooie onderkomen. Hele goede service van de host.
Alleen maar lof.

More than any other type of vacation, a spa holiday means close human contact. It�s a holiday
that first-timers need to feel comfortable with, and one that meets and exceeds the expectations
of seasoned spa-goers. Value, therefore, does not necessarily come with the lowest price. The true value of a spa vacation comes not simply with the treatment but with the total spa
experience. Here are 10 tips to help you get maximum value from a spa vacation.
1. Remember that all spas are not created equal. Be sure to select a spa that suits your personal tastes, budget, interests and the occasion - be it romantic rendezvous, gal pals getaway, or solo sojourn. If you are a spa diva but your significant-other prefers manicured greens to the perfect pedicure, select a spa that suits both your interests.
2. Look for a spa that offers lots of extras. For instance, some offer workout facilities, wet and dry saunas, hot and cold plunge pools,
aromatherapy rooms (for inhaling such essential oils as eucalyptus for energizing), comfortable and quiet lounge or waiting areas,
and complimentary classes such as yoga or Pilates.
3. Ask about complimentary amenities in the locker room: robes, slippers, lots of towels, hair dryers, and bath, shower and beauty products. In the waiting or lounge areas, there should be a choice of herbals teas, bottle water, fresh fruit or other healthy goodies.
4. Arrive early and stay late. Did you know that at most spas you can book just one treatment and stretch the experience out into a full day? Swim, steam in the sauna, work out in the gym, relax and read in the lounge before or after you have your treatment.
5. When you are making a booking, ask about packages. Often spas offer a better deal if you book two or three treatments together � say, massage, facial and pedicure.
6. When you�re still in the research stages ask a spa receptionist how long a one-hour treatment really is. At many spas a one-hour treatment is really just 50 minutes with 10 minutes left for the therapist to clean up and turn-over the room. At other spas is a good 60 minutes with 15 minutes for the spa therapist to prepare the room for the next client.
7. Find out what little extras a treatment includes. Many spas today enhance basic treatments: a head massage included in a body treatment, or a hand or foot massage included in a facial.
8. Ask if the spa �ambience� is carried over into other parts of the inn, hotel, or resort. If a property truly wants to cater to its spa guests they�ll make the effort to reflect the philosophy or mood of the spa so there is no harsh and uncomfortable re-entry into the �real world.� For instance, are there spa-quality amenities (higher-end shampoos, conditioners, bath products) in the guest rooms? Is there a place to enjoy a spa meal in your robe?
9. Make sure you select a spa with experienced, qualified therapists. A knowledgeable, nurturing therapist, passionate about his or her �art� can make or break a spa experience. The best way to ascertain this prior to a visit is with recommendations from those who�ve been there, or through media articles written by professional spa writers.
10. Keep in mind that a spa treatment � any spa treatment - is not simply a case of �one size fits all.� Every treatment can, and should be, tailored to your specific needs and preferences. True value is never having to hear the words �I�m sorry but that�s how we do it here.� If you don�t like something, speak up and let the therapist know.

Happy 4/20! From Kristen Stewart To Jenelle Evans — Meet The Celebs Who Love Ganja!
It's National Pot Smokers Day and to celebrate, we're paying tribute to celebs who've openly expressed their appreciation for weed!
There are dozens of celebs who in one way or another have been outed for smoking bud, hitting bongs or just plain enjoying Mary Jane. Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans got caught by her mom; Kristen Stewart showed her support for the cause by wearing a hemp leaf embroidered bikini AND by smoking a bowl on her porch — while Miley Cyrus was unknowingly videotaped while taking a massive hit from a bong.So from all of us at HollywoodLife.com to all of you, happy hemp day.


text: Sooo...did the short cycle chase everyone away? As usual, the first ep is a big clusterfeck of shrieking girls and it's hard to know who will rise and who will fall. Added bonus: Makeover right off the bat and an almost nudie shoot for the first challenge (although we have to wait for next week to see how that turns out). First impressions: FLOVE Ren! Gorgeous, looks like she's already a working model, and any girl who shows up to a modelling contest au natural has my vote Also digging Naduah, Gabrielle and Raina. Did not think much of Simone or Anslee before their makeovers, but they both got haircuts that take them from generic to really stunning. and Anslee seems like a firecracker. I feel bad for Brenda. I bet her hair will look great in styles for photo shoots, but without OTT styling she looks like a poor cross between Ziggy Stardust and Happy Days-era Ron Howard. I thought Alasia was going to be the typical OTT batshit trouble-maker, but I kinda like her. Love her curls as well. Tatiana, Jessica and Alexandra don't stand out much yet. Poor Angelea as well - I think she got the WORST makeover...that hair is way too heavy, the bangs are too long, and her features no longer stand out. Plus, she seems to have decided that the best way to celebrate making it on the show this year is to be the class A bitch. Which leaves Krista. She's gorgeous, and seems to be able to put this opportunity in perspective (i.e. she hates her new hair but worked too hard to get on the show to argue about it). I was all set to root for her, but the way she just inserted herself into that Angelea/Alasia snit was just stupid. Did anyone else watch?

KEY POINTSWhat needs to happen now in the Novopay crisis?
The Novopay payroll system could be scrapped if it can't be fixed, the Government has warned.
Minister in charge of Novopay Steven Joyce today announced a ministerial inquiry and a technical audit of the flawed education payroll system.
A contingency plan was being investigated and could include scrapping the payroll system but in the meantime the Government would stick with it.
The technical audit would be carried out by Murray Jack of Deloitte but would incorporate the results of the audit currently being undertaken by Ernst & Young on behalf of the Ministry of Education.

UCC is required by federal and state law regulations to define standards of satisfactory progress that students must maintain in order to continue to receive financial aid. Satisfactory Progress is monitored each term. Refer to UCC's Satisfactory Academic Progress policy. For questions regarding the policy, stop by the Financial Aid Office during regular office hours. Students may appeal a Satisfactory Academic Progress suspension. An appeal requires written documentation explaining why the student was not able to meet the standards. Also, the student must meet with an academic advisor and provide a written plan which is thoughtfully constructed to produce improved academic performance. Advising referrals are issued by the Financial Aid Office.
Repayment of Financial Aid Funds
If a student withdraws, stops attending, or receives all F grades they may be required to repay a portion of the financial aid received. Federal regulations require a college to perform an R2T4 calculation to determine the amount of any unearned aid the student received that needs to be returned to the federal programs. It is a UCC policy that students will need to reimburse the college for any amounts returned. Students will not be able to receive additional financial aid through UCC for a subsequent term until this amount is paid in full. If a student is enrolled in courses for any terms and required to repay a portion of their financial aid following the R2T4 calculation, they will be held responsible for paying for 100% of any and all charges on their student account including, but not limited to tuition, fees, and bookstore charges.
Student Records
Umpqua Community College complies with all state and federal requirements regarding the confidentiality of students records. In general, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1968 prohibits us from releasing information to anyone other than the identified student without the written release of that student.

By using our extensive climate guides for each charter region throughout the world, you can explore in-depth weather information for each month and work out which time will suit your individual needs. For example, the sea temperature will largely affect how much time you intend on spending in the water trying out your superyacht toys so watersports will want to make sure they travel during the warmest periods. In contrast, some areas may become particularly hot during summer and charterers would be advised to book later to ensure more comfortable conditions.
To help you in your search for your perfect luxury charter yacht for your next vacation, we've selected some of the finest and most exclusive superyachts and megayachts that are currently available for charter in Portofino.All Portofino Charter Yachts

Your hitting it from behind and as your girl is getting into it you slowly pull the sheet over your shoulders. You wait a few seconds you tap her on the side of the head to ger her to turn around, and when she does you flap you arms up and down and yell "KA KAW KA KAW".
I have never had the chance to use the teridactle yet since I am usually having too much fun as it is. But usually it just lightens the mood a little by causing her to start laughing and hopefully the sex resume a short while later.

I agree, no pressure for anyone. If the rows are done early, if all agree, we can mail them early, otherwise we stick to the deadlines.
Questions for the group:
- Would the group have any objections if I request my rows be significantly smaller than 12.5 x 60.5? Each wall in my studio, with the exception of one, is already dedicated. The available wall is exposed to bright sunlight thus making it unacceptable for a place to hang any sort of fabric; plus, it is around a corner in an alcove where whatever hangs there would never be seen.And we can;t have that, can we? ;-)
- I cut out appliques of three of my antique machines. Originally I had thought to use each of them in my starter row. Now I am wondering if they should be spread around the quilt top. Would two of you be willing to work one of them into your row you do for me? No worries if there is no interest in doing that, I will work them in. It was just a thought I had.
Whisper - I may just ditch the whole theme and go with something else.

AK Ray wrote:Information I have gathered from other Nome area duck hunters is the use of swan decoys to draw birds in. A former mining engineer up there used a KARA style marsh boat to get off the road to some coastal lagoons. Two home made swan decoys and a dozen duck decoys and he cleaned up on the birds when they were passing through. He also had some brant decoys and focused on those as much as he could.
His swan deocys were pretty simple. 8 inches of foam in a rough swan shape and coated with FG cloth and epoxy left over from the boat build. He made the heads and necks out of solid wood and they had a peg at the bottom to fit into a wood block glued into the foam. This made them easier to handle in the boat.
Rumor is that the guy still has the family cabin on the claim up there and the boat and decoys are stored there for seasonal use.
Erich_870 wrote:What's the premise on the swans? Better visibility, confidence decoys?
AK Ray wrote:Both. Swans pull vegetation up from depths most puddle ducks can't easily reach. As they pull it up ducks will come in and take the stuff. Wigeons follow along behind swans and nibble their left overs. Mallards do the same.
Being a larger bird swans need more food so where ever they are sitting and dipping their heads will give the appearance of lots of food for all birds.
