Reviews of this property
We went to New York from 5th to 16th january 2016, in the John's flat, to visit.
The flat is very well located, with the subway; No problem to go tro a place. We recommand this flat for that!
However, we don't recommand it for the reception! We didn't see John or anybody. We had to guess how we open the bathroom !!
In the other hand the flat was very clean all trip long.
Thank you.
Location in Little Italy is perfect for a NY trip. Room was nice, clean and cosy. But: place was fully booked, so in total 8 people stayed there. There's only one bathroom to share with all. So first come, first serve every morning. Cleaning is done every other day. Also only 4 chairs and a small sofa. Not all rooms have windows. This didn't come out in the description.
Host did not show his/her face once.. not at the start and not at the end.. even did not text me back after leaving the appartment. Room (and bed) was much smaller than the pictures. Bathroom also was not what I had expected. All in all, not the best stay I've had. But it's very cheap and the location is excellent.
Everything was good at Mulberry Str. 136.
Well connected with Midtown Manhattan, good Italian restaurants just downstairs.
The booking worked fine and there were no problems with the apartment. The place was clean, we had our own key. Everything worked fine apart from one thing. At one time one of the cleaning staff came and knocked rather aggressively at the door to our room and then used his own key to access the room even thou we were there, before we got the chance to open. He wanted to show the room to someone and I didn't appreciate that. I also think that we could have been given a change of sheets during our 12 nights visit. But apart from that everything was very good. I have recommended the apartment to others.
The apartment in little italy was cosy and nice. The host has send us verything to know and was very friendly and helpfull.
Many thanks, greetings
John, our landlord, we have never seen, the 3 minute introduction to the apartment we received from an Asian. The apartment on the 1st floor has 4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom incl. WC .... We found the nonexistent windows as cramped. When we were (2) in this apartment, stayed with us more 9 people there, which made the course in the bathroom / toilet annoying. The cleanliness was ok with so many people. Our miniature rooms, the bed with, an open garment bag (which should be the wardrobe) was set up threatened to burst, as our 2 suitcases were reingestellt. We actually had no place .... Stacked went :-) The photo depicted the bedroom is photographed terrific, it was namely ours and has nothing to do with reality. The curtain hung at half past seven the room rather gloomy, probably the only window in the apartment went to Mulberry Steet = extremely loud, to open was impossible. And the wide angle of the camera must have been enormous, and the illumination, depending on the image. The beautiful hardwood floors should be mentioned in spite of everything. We will come back to NYC, but not here.
John, unseren Vermieter haben wir nie zu Gesicht bekommen, die 3 minütige Einweisung in die Wohnung erhielten wir von einem Asiaten. Die Wohnung in der 1. Etage verfügt über 4 Schlafräume, eine Wohnküche und ein Bad inkl. WC....Die nichtvorhandenen Fenster empfanden wir als beengend. Als wir (2) in in dieser Wohnung waren, wohnten mit uns weitere 9 Personen dort, was den Ablauf im Badezimmer/WC nervig machte. Die Sauberkeit war bei sovielen Menschen ok. Unser Miniaturzimmer, das mit Bett, einem offenen Kleidersack ( sollte der Kleiderschrank sein) eingerichtet war drohte zu platzen, als unsere 2 Koffer reingestellt wurden. Wir hatten eigentlich keinen Platz.... Gestapelt ging es :-) Das Foto vom abgebildeten Schlafraum ist grandios abgelichtet, dies war nämlich unseres und hat nichts mit der Realität zu tun. Die Gardine hing auf halb acht, das Zimmer ziemlich düster, das wohl einzige Fenster in dieser Wohnung ging zur Mulberry Steet = extrem laut, an Öffnen war nicht zu denken. Und der Weitwinkel der Kamera muss gigantisch gewesen sein, sowie die Ausleuchtung, bei allen Bildern. Der schöne Parkettboden darf trotz alledem nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Wir werden wieder nach NYC kommen, aber nicht hierher.

medication tracking systems all have in common? These
are descriptions of some of our Caregiver Friendly award
winners from past seven years. They also represent
thousands of hours of loving labor by their producers and
manufactures, all working with one thought in common, "What
can I do to help the life of the family caregiver become
easier?" Every year, we are truly impressed by the quality
of the entries into the award program, but what I am most
excited about is the wide variety of industries that are now
sending in entries and the incredible work they are
producing with family caregivers in mind. We have been

Very friendly host and really a stone's throw from the sea. Rooms quite small but you can use the rest of the apartment with balcony. By metro just around the corner one is fast in the city.

Awesome Unlimited, Part 5Posted in Project Vehicles on April 13, 2005 Comment (0)
Even though the longer wheelbase of a Wrangler Unlimited makes it a better Jeep in our minds, there is still plenty to add that the factory never thought of or just plain left off the Jeep for cost savings. Let's face it, somewhere underneath Jeep's 50-plus-year off-road-inspired heritage is a DaimlerChrysler bean counter who calculates the cost of, and subtracts, components that enthusiasts would want. That's why over the past few issues we took an '04 1/2 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 200 miles on it and began our project. What we wanted was a longer-wheelbase Jeep that could climb difficult trails without worrying about component failure. We didn't want a tube buggy; this Jeep had to be something that could easily hold the family and even make trips on the road to the store if need be. In addition, we wanted it to be built with nearly 100 percent bolt-on parts. We think we ended up with just about what we were looking for.
The only major mechanical changes to the Jeep are in the suspension and axles. The 4.0L engine, 42RLE four-speed automatic tranny, and NV231 transfer case are all stock, even down to the original slip-yoke rear output. As we've mentioned in other stories, the 42RLE is a pathetic transmission. It's not necessarily weak, but it does nothing to enhance the driving experience and power output of the 4.0L in any Wrangler. When creeping in the rocks in First-gear low range with 5.38 axle gears, we could actually get the Jeep into a position where it wouldn't move or spin the tires, even with the gas pedal floored. The engine simply revved up to about 2,000 rpm and the tranny and torque converter absorbed the power and probably created massive amounts of heat. Continued use like this will eventually smoke the transmission, so we highly recommend a tranny cooler if you've added larger tires to your auto-equipped Jeep. If it were available at the time, we would have preferred the NSG 370 six-speed manual tranny. We may even swap one in eventually because this automatic is a joke, at least for our application.
If all you hit is rocky terrain, then you could opt for a lower aftermarket transfer-case gearset. The Unlimited Rubicon model has a NV241 with a 4.0:1 low-range ratio, which will work great when creeping. However, to us it's not ideal when blasting through dunes or mud. We prefer the 2.72:1 ratio since the 4.0L doesn't make crazy tire-spinning power in high range. Now, if Jeep would pony up and offer a V-8 as an option in Wranglers, the 4.0:1 transfer-case low range would be perfect since we could actually use high range with the added power.
Our 37x12.50R17 BFG Krawler KX tires are really too much tire for the factory axles, especially since durability and reliability were tops on our list. We went with Dynatrac Pro Rock 60s front and rear. The lowest ratio available for the high-pinion 60 axles is 5.38:1, so that's what we installed. The ratio is about right with the overdrive on the highway. The 5.38s keep the Jeep's pathetic four-speed auto from hunting for the right gear. When we first installed the lift, our planned wheels weren't ready, so we made due with some regular 17x8s. Since then, we slapped on the polished 17x8 1/2-inch Walker Evans Racing wheels complete with extra-wide CORR-racing-type bead-lock rings. You can order the wheels with a wide variety of lug patterns, ring colors, and backspacing. We spec'd ours out with a 5-on-5 1/2 lug pattern with 4 3/4 inches of backspacing to work with our slightly wider Pro Rock axle assemblies.The BFG Krawler tires are some of the best tires we've ever used in the rocks, which is perfect since that's where this Jeep spends most of its time. The Krawler tires actually work well in any terrain, and they provide a unique, aggressive, children-eating look, even if you only plan to wear them out on the street.
Since the installation of the Rubicon Express long-arm lift kit on our Wrangler, we've made a few changes to the suspension. The original stiff front sway bar was ditched for a Currie Anti-Rock unit with aluminum arms. This helped provide a smoother ride and keeps us from going nuts when dealing with sway-bar disconnects. We like having the light sway bar for off-road use. Completely disconnecting it may provide more flex and a higher RTI ramp number, but it makes your Jeep less stable. Also new underneath are the Walker Evans Racing/Dynatrac shocks. The two companies worked together to build high-end, adjustable, Wrangler-specific shocks with remote reservoirs that bolt on to the factory Jeep shock mounts. The trick-looking high-zoot shocks help control axle movement for a smooth ride at speed or when creeping along. They should be available from Dynatrac by the time you read this.
The Awesome Unlimited is officially done; however, there are still some things we are considering for the future. Our transfer case is suspect. If we keep the auto tranny, we may need more gearing there. An Advance Adapters Atlas II with a 3.8 low range could find its way underneath. At the same time we would upgrade the driveshafts to 1350 U-joints and yokes. But we've also been kicking around the idea of doing what we think Jeep should do from the factory -- putting a 345hp Hemi V-8 under the hood. If that happens we want a six-speed manual for sure. Keep your eyes peeled.

I've watched videos but am still lost as so many videos state, "Thinking about swarming, might be too late, and so on".
Can someone fine tune when the perfect time to split a hive is. What I am looking for exactly, when it might be too early or too late. Or if anybody has a link to a video where someone is in good detail about it. (SO many videos as I said, "I should of split this a week ago or...".)
I just need someone to fine tune all this for me please.


text: REMOVING PINK COLOR FROM BRASS Brass is a combination of copper and zinc. The pink color comes when there is more copper than zinc. To tell you the truth the pink patina has never bothered me before. I have restored a few brass badges and a lot of them had that pink color after I had cleaned all the dirt off. But if you don't like the pink color this is how to remove it. I ran a few experiments and noticed that on a few badges the pink didn't go away after cleaning with steel wool. I tried everything, ketchup, tabasco sauce, vinegar with salt, baking soda, brasso etc. and none work. I finally ran a test with this product called Tarn-X that I bought at home depot. The instructions clearly states that it's not supposed to be used in brass and that nothing should be submerged in the solution for more than 2 minutes. Well I discarded the instructions completely. 1. I filled a 10oz clear plastic cup with this solution. 2. I submerged a badge and kept looking at it from time to time. 3. The one I did took 2 and half hour inside the solution. 4. Removed and washed with water then dried with a clean rag (my T-shirt) 5. The brass will be very dull and might have small pink areas. 6. Clean with steel wool and it will remove the rest of the pink area. If not deep it again in the solution. I didn't get a very good shine shining it by hand. I got a nice shine using blue magic and my dremel. You can dip two badges in the cup just make sure they are back to back. 2 and a half hour later. i did make it flat again since its easier to clean steel wool cleaned polished with dremel


text: I would be more worried if I were a Dallas fan considering how you guys got manhandled by the Seahawks last week. Our team on the other hand out performed Tampa Bay all game with the exception of the turnovers, yet the score did not reflect that since we kept coming away with 3 points instead of 7 when we were in the redzone on offense. Anyway if I had to make a bet this week I would definitely pick the GMEN over the Panthers as opposed to Dallas over the Bucs. I think both games will be close, but based on last weeks performance your team looked worse than ours. Then again I know you don't believe in the whole past has a bearing on the future concept.

Why winter is more fun
Mileage: 37.0
November mileage: 227.2
Friday, again. Time to put in my long day for the week. I promised myself I'd ride hard up to Eaglecrest, push my bike for a while, and if the snow was good, spend the rest of the day playing. Six hours of daylight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., every one used well.
The weather was fabulous - 40 degrees, fog and snow flurries at sea level. But at 3,000 feet, temperatures were in the high 20s and skies were clearing. The thin snowpack has had a steady diet of rain over the past few days, and in its refrozen condition was in great shape for biking. The road itself was pretty chewed up by a SnowCat, but I could ride right on top of the frozen muskeg. I spent some time pushing my bike and descending (you know, carving turns) at midmountain before I ditched the bike and headed high. The clouds started to clear just as I was approaching the upper elevations. Most of these photos are from my long walk along the ridgeline.
The snow was still in great condition on the ridge - hardpacked and smooth. I only sank in a few inches on my feet. I should have dragged my bike up there. It would probably be a little like riding sand-dusted slickrock.
Some trees have harder lives than others.
Clouds still hovered low over every ridgeline but mine.
There was amazingly almost no wind up high, rare for a winter day. Even rarer in late fall. I stopped at this spot and ate a Hershey bar. You know what's even better than sitting in the sun, soaking up its warmth and eating chocolate? Earning it.
Back down the ridge, looking for a way to this peak. I have to be really careful with my winter hiking because I'm still traveling without an ice ax and crampons (I really must buy some), and in the shade the snow was as hard and slippery as ice. I couldn't go anywhere where a fall would be disastrous, and I couldn't find a way to the peak.
Oh well. I'll just make up my own peak, like Dr. Cook's famed "first ascent" of Mount Denali.
Back down after several hours, realizing that I may just run out of daylight before I get any more riding in.
Cool clouds on the horizon.
Coming down was amazing fun. This is the "slickrock" muskeg that I was riding at mid-mountain. I cut off the road when it started to get sloppy and weaved through a few trees before emerging in the open. I saw a group of young skiers and snowboarders walking up the road. When they saw me coming, they started yelling, "Hey, biker! Yeah biker!" The terrain started to get a little sketchy, but I didn't want to lose face. I let off the brakes and slalomed through a shallow gully, punching through a small berm and shooting onto the bare gravel of the road just below them. I kept accelerating down the road as they cheered me on. I felt great about having actually survived the move and even better about the brilliant way in which I showcased my unique form of snowriding. I am Downhill Snowbiker.
I love winter.

What is the distance between frames center-to-center (from center of one frame to the center of another) and how wide the frame itself? Better in millimeters/cm since I assume the beehive itself is metric. Thanks!
I think, it is not necessary to reproduce the exact copy of the hive. There are some features, which made it unique:
- only front exposed to weather, thus - double insulation at the front;
- access to all frames simultaneously from the back;
- sliding frames;
- non-extendable design;
- beehive supposed to be the part of beehouse, thus, minimal insulation on the sides, air gap between backdoor and frames for thermoinsulation;
- screen at the back to observe the bees without disturbing.
Once these features implemented, the exact size is not such important. Many thanks Ziva for sharing all photos! Sergey

I have been to Barcelona for 4 days at Monicas appartement and it was very nice! Monica has some things you dont have to buy (like coffee and tea) and the rooms are clean. Also the place is very easy to reach and even by feed you can go to the oldtown in half an hour. I would totally recommend the appartement!
Monica was very kind and helpful host, she provides you with all required information and is always reachable via mobile phone. The apartment is nice and in a great location. Barcelona is a fantastic city, I would highly recommend Monicas apartment.
We had a great time at Monica's apartment. Our room was small but really comfortable and clean. The location of the apartment is amazing - several stations of public transport nearby and only 10 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia. Monica is a friendly and helpful host. Definitely a good choice for a weekend trip to Barcelona!
it has been a wonderful week end. the apartment is really near Sagrada Familia ( 10 minutes by walk), and near Train station Clot (it's the stop from the airport to the apartment).
in the apartment there are all the utilities from the kitchen, to the bathroom and a woderful terrace.

Great location near the Sagrada Familia (10min walk) and the Clot metro station (airport connection train stops on this station). The room (B&W) is small but clean, with access to very nice roof terrace. Great choice for a few days stay in Barcelona.
A really nice place to stay. Great flat, perfect location, escpecially the balcony was great. Linen, towel, wifi - everything was provided without any problems.
We definitely want to come back one day.
Note: as the walls are thin, it can be quite noisy.

The terrasse is great and everything is really clean.
We Had a nice stay and the host is really helpful.

Our collection
The Gallery, like most state or national art museums around the world, 'owns' works of art. In our case, we're a state government institution so the actual owners are the people of NSW and we are the custodians.
We have the single most encyclopaedic collection of art in Australia, made up of roughly 30,000 works. It's hard to give an exact number because we're constantly adding to it and some works (eg sketchbooks) have many parts, each of which could be seen as an artwork.
We organise this large collection into smaller collection areas: Australian art, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, Asian art, Western art, contemporary art and photography.
Only 5% of our collection is on display at the Gallery at any one time, either in our permanent galleries or temporary exhibitions.
There are various reasons:
- we don't have enough space to display everything simultaneously
- we loan works to other museums for exhibitions
- works undergo conservation treatment or are put into storage to preserve them
Most of our artworks are stored in an off-site storage facility.
The entire collection is online and you can check what is on display.

Balloons and FacepaintingBy Tracy N on 23/01/2013 11:20:15 AM
We had Nadia arrive for our 4 year old's party, she was patient and never rushed us. We ended up with only 6 children, so Nadia painted faces and arms and then made the best balloons I have ever seen. We had a little Mermaid theme, so my little miss got an Arial balloon, there was also the incredible Hulk and one on my favourites was a Helicopter with Spiderman hanging off (...) Read more

Bush Administration Domestic Terrorists? (This is not about 9/11)
Original post made by Helen, Barron Park, on Aug 2, 2007
Plenty of studies have pointed out the infrastructure problems, but the Bush administration chooses to either ignore the problems or encourage cities and counties to sell their infrastructure to foreign investors. A scarey prospect in itself.
Either way, the administration's priorities here (as elsewhere) suggest disregard and disrespect for the citizens who elected them.
I implore anyone reading this to take the time to send an e-mail to the President and our Congressional representatives, expressing your concerns about aging infrastructure and urging them to reset priorities.

The fault lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
The lion's share of transit money has gone to Toonerville Trolley schemes that make for great photo ops but never serve more than 6 percent of the people. That is where your road repair money went. This largely started when democrat Jerry Brown declared the end of the Freeway in California.

We put a lot of money into maintaining our infrastructure but that money goes into repairs and clean up instead of building new bridges or roads. This is not about the Bush administratioin, dont make it out to be something it really is not.
a resident of Community Center
on Aug 3, 2007 at 11:52 am
I am no fan of the Bush Adminstration, but this is a long standing problem that exists at all levels of government. Very simply, a great deal of infrastructure that was constructed in the years after WWII through the 1960's is worn out, obsolete, and was not sufficiently maintained over the years.
Much of it would be in need of replacement anyway, but the neglect in upkeep means that for much of it, the cost of doing the work now is greater that it might have been had it been maintained better over the years. The Golden Gate Bridge is an anamoly in this regard, it is extremely well maintained, but such is not the case for other structures with less visiblity. Your bridge tolls at work--and they go up regularly.
Our city, our state and our country have been glossing over this matter for decades now, elected officials from both parties have contributed to this situation. One can fault the Bush Administration for its lack of leadership in facing the problem that its many predecessors neglected, but they in this instance fit into the "more of the same" category, no better or worse than others who have preceded them.
That said, this is a huge problem that will be with us for at least a lifetime. It is very costly to do the work needed to make these structures viable and safe for another 30-50 years, and with the attitudes about taxation that exist around things like gasoline and property taxes, it will be difficult to find funding sources to cover the expenses that are out there.
What happened this week in the Twin Cities, and some of the levee breaks in New Orleans during Katrina are just the beginning of this story. I wish I knew how long it would be and how much damage and loss of life need to happen before we set our priorities on putting funding at all levels of government to solve this dilemma. Lack of strong infrastructure compromises the viablity of our entire economy and well-being, it is "need to have" stuff, not "nice to have" stuff, except for some bridges in Alaska and related "pork."

The people get the government it elects. When people pay attention to reality, and elect people who will run the city the way we run our homes, such disasters will not happen.

Helen Thomas refuses to say whether she was Fiddle or Faddle.
a resident of Barron Park
on Aug 7, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Gee, Resident, I don't know why you say my allegations are ridiculous and lack credibility. Here are some facts:
The highway trust fund is about to go broke. When President Bush took office the fund had a $23 billion surplus, but it is expected to be running a deficit by next year in part because Bush killed an increase in gas taxes two years ago.
Investment firms including Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley are forming large funds to purchase publicly owned infrastructure projects.
In Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has leased the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road to a foreign consortium from Spain and Australia for $3.85 billion over the next seventy-five years. By one calculation, the Toll Road will generate $11 billion over the life of the lease. Indiana's governor Mitch Daniels has been nicknamed Mr. Privatize by some for his willingness to sell off public assets. Before coming to Indiana, Daniels served as the President Bush's White House budget director. And Indiana is not alone. In Illinois, officials signed a 99-year, $1.8 billion lease to hand over the Chicago Skyway.
Got some facts to counter this with? Or just insulting accusations?
Helen (not Thomas, but I wouldn't mind being her. She's sharp and unphased by Bush's monkey-like attempts to intimidate)
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 7, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Could you please provide a link that shows that the highway trust fund is about to go broke? I am looking for an analysis that shows that the "trust" fund is actually spent on highway projects, and nothing else, including mass transit. Even a bridge to nowhere is still a road project. I just want to be assured that the U.S. government is not using the "trust" fund for something that is not part of the promise to American citizens to use the "trust" fund for roads and bridges. For instance, attempts to use the fund to reduce national debt. Or to build 'creative' projects unrelated to roads and bridges.
I would also like to know what the percetnage of HWT funds are actually allocated to roads and bridges every year. I understand that there are reasonable estimates that do not always add up to 100%, but are the funds FULLY allocated to roads and bridges?
Also, Helen, if you have a link to a cost analysis that shows the additional costs incurred by environmental impact reports, that would be helpful.
Plese let me know, Helen.
Thank you in advance.

Everybody knows that Bush is the cause of most of the new cancer cases since he became president too.
a resident of Midtown
on Aug 8, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Look at home. A half billion dollars would have repaired the East Bay approach to the Bay Bridge. One and a half would have replaced it with a viaduct over the mud flats, but the two Browns, Jerry and Willie wanted an edifice, and so the suspension bridge over a mudflat, every bit as dumb as the bridge to nowhere, is nearing 7 billion. Five billion for ego! As near as I recall, neither of these Browns was a Bush appointee.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Aug 8, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Please, Helen, send the sites so that I can see that budget, with the most federal income EVER because of the business and employment facilitated by lowering taxes, has not increased, as usual, for roads and other infrastructure. I also can't wait to see how much less pork their is not that the new Congress is in charge.
But, even if what you say is true, Helen, the part of the assumption that I completely disagree with is that we need to increase taxes ever more every year to pay for everything everybody asks for.
The best government is the least government. The better road ( no pun intended) is to prioritize our federal spending, and ALSO have each state support its own infrastructure. If Louisiana had spent its OWN money on the dikes of the Mississippi River, maybe the money would have actually gone toward repairing the dams like it was supposed to.

Why Size Matters
It's an age old question that plagues the minds of men across the world: "does size matter?" The issue of penis size sends many men on a hunt to increase their girth and extend their lengths because it is a common belief that bigger is better, and even though size does matter, bigger isn't always better. The question shouldn't be if size matters but why size matters, and it is important for women to understand this just as much as it is for men. Let's be realistic for a second. Every woman is shaped differently and no vagina is created equal. A large penis isn't made to fit every vagina on the face of the Earth, so there will be variations of penis sizes ranging from micro penises to baby forearms and everything in between (the majority of the worldly male population is an average size of 5.5 inches fully erect).
So Why Exactly Does Size matter?
When it comes to having greater sex, the genitals must fit together like puzzle pieces. If a man is well endowed he must be paired with a woman who has a vagina that can accommodate his size. Yes, vaginas are very elastic and can mold to fit the shape of whatever is placed into it (or whatever comes out of it such as another human being), but they too have a limited amount of depth and width. If a woman has a narrow, shorter vagina being with a man that is long and wide will destroy her precious flower. Sexual performance for this type of mix-matched couple will not feel great for either partner and both will leave the sexual experience with a bit of his/her ego bruised (and quite possibly some genital bruising too). Just as puzzle pieces must fit together perfectly for the picture to become clear, genitals must fit together perfectly for sex to be harmonious.
When the genitals are not paired up correctly according to their size, sex can become awkward and uncomfortable. Typically, those who complain about sex being uncomfortable have had experiences with partners who did not fit them properly, and it is unfortunate because a lack of education about this very thing leads people to believe they are simply sexual misfits. The truth is, everyone has the capacity to perform well sexually, but one must be educated about the sexual anatomy and sexual performance in order to be able to reach optimal performance. A woman with a smaller vagina my believe she wants to be paired with a man who is long and has girth, but once in the act she can experience tearing and bruising of the vaginal opening and vaginal walls because her partner is forcing a large pole into a small hole. The only way both partners are going to be able to switch into different positions and perform well in them is by knowing the size and shape of their own genitals and what fits before entering into a sexual encounter.
So there you have it! Size matters because the genitals must fit together properly for sex to be completely enjoyable.

As I noted earlier, I had a LOT of trouble getting my first 2 packages of bees, thanks to UPS shipping/damaging/taking 8 days to deliver on 2 day air, etc.
I had built two 4 foot long "tanzanian" style top bar hives, so when the 8 day old packages arrived, I put them into half of one hive and built another follower board. Then I installed the final two packages (they got here OVERNIGHT).
At 10 days out, one of the "fresh" packages built comb on 8 bars - straight and right in the middle of the bars, the other one has 6, but they are off-center to one side, and the 3rd (older combined packages) has about 5 bars, but crammed into one corner. After what they went through, I'm just glad they are doing anything!
I am seeing bees coming in to all 3 hives with pollen saddlebags!
I pulled one outside comb out and it had uncapped pollen and what looked like plain water, which doesn't surprise me, this is Arizona, I'm sure they will try to stay well stocked on water!
I'll bet those bees were shocked, coming from green and humid Georgia, to brown and dry Az!
Now I have to build another hive!
My bees are very gentle, I forgot to get a smoker, and installed them in short sleeved shirt, with long pants tucked in to some boots. No veil, no gloves either. I did take a shower, and dust myself with baby powder, since I read that they like the smell of that...
One sting from a poor bee that got under my upper arm, and stung me when I was squishing him. Not even a mark one hour later, and the sting was NOTHING like the fire ants we have here!
When I went in to take a look-see at 10 days, I also was in t-shirt, shorts, sandels, and the bees were so busy they never even noticed me. Of course, I didn't pull any bars out except for the last one nearest the follower board, so didn't disrupt them much.
They are SO COOL! Such busy little critters. Why didn't I do this 30 years ago????
Oh, and I REALLY need to order a smoker, don't I?
Any suggestions? (I like cheap but sturdy, lol)
Oh, one other thing, my DH is scared of bees, and said he doesn't want anything to do with them....curiosity however drew him over to watch me as I was installing them, and he ended up with lots of bees on him too! He followed diections and moved slowly, and just ignored the bees or brushed them very gently away. I think he will come around to "liking" them very soon!!!

Sleepy Man Banjo Boys:
Bluegrass virtuosity from ... New Jersey?
All under the age of 16, brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are from New Jersey, a US state that's better known for the rock of Bruce Springsteen than the bluegrass of Earl Scruggs. Nonetheless, the siblings began performing bluegrass covers, as well as their own compositions, at a young age. Here, they play three dazzling songs in three different keys, passing the lead back and forth from fiddle to banjo to guitar.

I had a thought and I wanted to put it out on the forum for feedback:
I find working TBHs to be slow going because I'm taking great care not to crush bees as I close up the bars. I haven't used smoke and I really don't want to depend on doing so. I have tried Phil Chadler's idea (Biobees.com) of some cider vinegar diluted in water in a spray bottle. It works but not effectively enough. So I started thinking about an idea to put a little Bee Quick on a cotton ball inside a small bottle and giving the bees between the bars a whiff to get them to go down inside. Has anyone tried this? I don't want to order the stuff before I get some of your opinions.

I don't know if this traditional everywhere, but most of the italians around here that make it from scratch use the large metal coffee tins to bake panettone in. I think we have one kicking around in a closet somewhere right now waiting to make panettone.

Ashen, I helped myself to a large coffee tin about 30 years ago (well, it was going to be binned) from the hospital where I worked. Sadly, they no longer seem to exist. Was perfect for making panettone even though I don't eat it . Darned if I can find a substitute. The large brioche mould sort of does the job (but I always have excess mixturey.

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
Had a few slices of the panettone I made toasted for breakfast this morning. Panettone should not be too sweet. This had a very small amount of sugar in it.
Most of the sweetness came from raisins and candied chestnuts. I baked mine in a paper mold. Tried the coffee can method years ago and it was disasterous!
I think a good baking or cooking shop like Williams and Sonoma or Sur La Table would have paper baking molds for panettone or you can order them online.

text: BYU's Beck was most impressive at combine Rob Rang / NFLDraftScout / Sports Xchange Posted: 18 hours ago With JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn opting to save their audition for their Pro Days, scouts were anxious to see if anyone would emerge during Sunday's session at the Combine as the clear No. 3 quarterback of 2007 draft. If workouts are any indication, BYU's John Beck deserves consideration. Beck was the most impressive quarterback I viewed inside the RCA Dome on Sunday. He has a compact delivery and generates good zip on his passes, showing particularly sound velocity on his curls, quick slants and the out routes. This observation was backed up numerically by the fact that Beck's ball speed was timed at 61.1 mph, second-fastest among all quarterbacks testing. Beck also showed deft touch on the post-corner routes and placed the ball on the outside shoulder on his deep throws. I entered the practice session higher on Beck than most, and left feeling as though I've been underrating him. Stanford's Trent Edwards and Houston's Kevin Kolb, two others viewed as candidates to be the third quarterback selected, had solid showings, but neither was as accurate or strong-armed as Beck. Edwards had the better accuracy of the two, especially on the curls and quick-slants. His deeper passes seemed to sail and, while catchable, forced receivers to adjust. Kolb's accuracy overall was a little inconsistent for my liking. He threw some of the better, more catchable passes of the session, but also had to wind up a bit for longer throws and receivers were often forced to change direction and speed to adjust. Throwing later in the day, Drew Stanton and Troy Smith each flashed the ability to warrant consideration on the draft's first day. Stanton was the best looking of the late group and is considered by many to have the highest upside of all the quarterbacks not named Russell or Quinn. Smith, like Kolb earlier, threw some nice balls and completed the vast majority of his passes, but was a little inconsistent in his ability to hit receivers in stride. One quarterback who really helped himself Sunday was Toby Korrodi of Central Missouri State. Korrodi was surprisingly accurate throughout the session and his arm strength was the most impressive of all the passers tested. Not only did Korrodi lead the quarterbacks statistically with his passes being clocked at 63 mph, some of the passes he didn't connect on simply were dropped by receivers surprised by the velocity of the throws. Catching passes from these quarterbacks was an exciting crop of receivers. Calvin Johnson cruised to a 4.35 40. (Michael Conroy / Associated Press) Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson was the early star of the show as expected, running a 4.35 40-yard dash after weighing in at 239 pounds. The other highly-ranked wideouts who worked out here proved that their hype was well justified. Tennessee's Robert Meachem ran a 4.39 and his athleticism and sure hands drew raves from the crowd. Scouts knew South Carolina's Sidney Rice wouldn't help himself in terms of his speed — and he didn't, running in the high 4.5s, but his strong, secure hands and body control helped him make acrobatic catches that had veteran scouts listing him as among the most impressive receivers here. Similarly, LSU's Dwayne Bowe continued his strong post-season with another impressive performance Sunday. His burst out of his breaks stood out and he snatches the ball out of the air impressively. A few other receivers who stood out in my eyes were Ohio State's Anthony Gonzalez, LSU's Chris Davis, Lane's Jacoby Jones and Texas Tech's Jarrett Hicks. Gonzalez struggled to keep his feet throughout the entire practice. He struggled coming out of his breaks, going down to the ground several times. He also was the unfortunate recipient of some of the session's worst passes, forcing him to adjust on the fly. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to come through with many of these difficult receptions. Hicks had the best catch of the day, a beautiful one-handed reception on a go-route. Hicks seemed to catch the ball well throughout the session. His lack of speed and explosiveness runner was also apparent, however. Florida State's Chris Davis also helped himself. He dropped a couple of tough passes early, but adjusted very well to the ball and is cat-quick. After emerging as one of the real hidden gems of the East-West Shrine Game, I was anxious to see how Jones would perform under the big lights. He moved well, showing good explosiveness throughout his routes and caught the ball cleanly. I was surprised to see so many wideouts rounding out their routes, especially on the post-corners.

Apparently some people can use racial slurs in politics
posted at 3:00 pm on December 17, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
This is one that slipped through the cracks during the week, but it's worth a second look. Out in New Mexico we find the story of yet another elected official caught up in allegations of malfeasance, and then lashing out in a rather unusual way when they're called on it. Presented for your consideration, the heartwarming story of state representative Sheryl Williams Stapleton.
A Democratic state legislator in New Mexico lashed out at a Republican colleague, attacking her as acting as a minion of the state's Republican governor, Susana Martinez, and referring to the governor in questionable terms.
Calling Martinez "the Mexican," Democratic state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton reportedly shouted at Republican state Rep. Nora Espinoza.
The source of the dispute was an investigative news report that suggested Stapleton had behaved unethically. The piece aired on KRQE-TV in October, reporting that "for years, Stapleton did not take leave from her job as an administrator at the Albuquerque Public Schools system and received pay while attending legislative sessions." Espinoza commented in the report.
Stapleton shouted at Espinoza during a committee break, according to Capitol Report New Mexico, and accused her of "carrying the Mexican's water."
Stapleton told Espinoza that she had been waiting for her and said, "I'm pissed," later adding, "You said I'm corrupt. Prove it!"
After a while, even I get tired of playing this particular card, but can you imagine if it had been a white male Republican doing this? Referring to the Governor as "the Mexican?" The media would be in full blown, pearl clutching meltdown mode by now. But apparently this remains a "move along… nothing to see here" story.
So what does Representative Stapleton plan on doing about the original charges in the report? Particularly given her position as Majority Whip in the state house, I'm sure she's going to set aside some of her duties until we can get to the bottom of it. Right?
In a news conference Thursday (Dec. 15) that took a couple odd turns, state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton (D-Albuquerque) apologized for angrily confronting Rep. Nora Espinoza (R-Roswell) and saying Espinoza was "carrying the Mexican's water on the fourth floor," site of the offices of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez in New Mexico's state capitol building.
But despite calls from state Republicans, Stapleton said she would "absolutely not" step down from her position as Majority Whip in the state's House of Representatives.
You'll need to click through to the full article to read the rather amazing, incoherent, rambling non-apology that she issued to the Governor, the House and her constituents. It seems there's still really nothing wrong with calling the Governor "the Mexican on the 4th floor" because… you know… it's not a racial slur. It means "people of Mexican descent" and besides, "there are lots of people on the 4th floor." Not to mention, "we are both women of color," so I guess it's all no harm, no foul, eh?
You can certainly see why she wouldn't be resigning over a little thing like this. I'm sure she'd be just as forgiving if this same slur had come from one of her GOP colleagues, right?

In the event that the weather is so severe that the college administration believes that life and property may be in danger, the president of the college may cancel classes until weather conditions improve. When such a decision is made, the news media will be notified. Students should listen for such announcements on Little Rock radio and television stations. If there is no announcement, students should assume the college is open.
Because Pulaski Technical College is a commuter campus, inclement weather has a greater adverse impact than on a residential campus. The effects fall unevenly on individual students as road conditions and circumstances vary. Thus, individual decisions are required when hazardous weather conditions exist but the college is officially open.

I'm new to beekeeping and in the process of moving from England to Nottoway County, VA. My wife and I have been living overseas for a number of years and are in the process of 'coming home.' We are both excited and nervous at the same time.
I have started learning about beekeeping by taking a course here in England. I'm learning a lot and am looking forward to applying my training in the field. As I begin this venture, it would be helpful to find someone who is knowledgeable about what apiary equipment is 'common' between the two countries. I don't want to buy and then ship too much equipment from here if it is off-standard in the US.
Thanks for your help and encouragement.
