In 2006, chef Bevan Smith and his wife Monique brought their dreams to life by opening Riverstone Kitchen on the outskirts of Oamaru. His experiences in world-renowned restaurants overseas influenced his philosophy for Riverstone. Simplicity is the concept behind his new cookbook, Riverstone Kitchen: Simple. Colleen Thorpe talks to Smith about life in Oamaru, the success of Riverstone and his love of food.
You're living the dream... in Oamaru. Tell us how it came about.
After 10 years of travelling and cooking abroad and meeting and marrying Monique, we decided the time was right to move back to New Zealand to start our own business and a family. Establishing the restaurant on the family farm, just north of Oamaru, was an obvious choice - unlimited space for us to develop our gardens and grow our own produce and the ideal location, in our opinion, to bring up children.
What is the key to Riverstone Kitchen's success?
Staying true to our beliefs, never compromising and being consistent. The rest is just plain hard work.
You source locally grown ingredients for your restaurant. Do you grow some of your own produce?
Yes, we grow most of the produce we use including all leafy greens, herbs and specialty vegetables such as Jerusalem artichokes, celeriac, kohlrabi and fennel.
What is the philosophy of Riverstone Kitchen?
To make good food using ethically produced and locally grown ingredients.
What is your first memory of food?
Eating feijoas under the hedge in Northland.
Who is your biggest fan?
My kids - they're too young to know any better.
Who was the major influence in your love of cooking?
Philip Johnson from ecco Bistro in Brisbane. We share very similar philosophies in food and business and my time cooking there was invaluable.
What is your favourite dish?
Pan-fried white fish with wet polenta, chilli, basil and garlic.
What is your secret ingredient?
Generosity in flavour.
Have you a guilty pleasure?
Biscuits and craft beer.
What three New Zealand foods are at the top of your list?
Mt Cook salmon, venison and Nelson scallops.

Tenn. lawmaker proposes medical marijuana bill
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV-AP) - State lawmakers have reconvened the 108th Tennessee General Assembly in a legislative session that is expected to feature debates over creating a school voucher program and whether to allow supermarkets to sell wine.
House and Senate speakers gaveled in around noon on Tuesday for a session they are hoping to wrap up as quickly as possible so lawmakers can focus on their re-election bids. All 99 House seats are up for re-election this year, along with 17 of 33 seats in the Senate.
But lawmakers will first have to approve the state's $33 billion annual spending plan amid flagging state revenues. Through the first five months of the current budget year, general fund revenues were running $175 million below expectations.
The state constitution requires lawmakers to pass a balanced budget.
And while there's plenty on the plate, one longshot proposal already has a lot of people buzzing.
State Rep. Sherry Jones, D-Nashville, has introduced a bill that would allow people to get marijuana for a variety of medical issues - everything from seizures to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Jones said the bill spells out a process for marijuana growth and distribution, and it explains how medical personnel would card patients.
While some worry it will cause a drug problem, Jones is adamant this will only help.
"It's better to use the cannabis than to get hooked on Oxycontin," Jones said.
When asked if she thinks it will pass, Jones said she didn't know.
If it doesn't, she says she plans to keep bringing it up every year until it does.
Poll results: Do you support the legalization of medical marijuana?

Reviews for this host's other properties
It's all there!
Scottish Tourist Board approved many B&Bs.
Location! Location! Location!
Ardgarth Guest House at Portobello (Rated 4-Star by STB = the Scottish Tourist Board)
Best room at this place is room 1(ensuite). Different size and type! Rooms equipped with extra electric radiator in addition to the central heating! What a luxury!. Choice of breakfast(excellent) and served by a few friendly young girls. Fresh air from Firth of Forth! Very tidy and clean! 1 St Mary's Pl, Edinburgh EH15 2QF
Edinburgh Holiday Guest House (STB) on Minto Street, Newington where you'll countless B&Bs!
Renovated and modernised! Clean! The rooms are cleaned daily! English breakfast or (unedible) noodle soup which was so salty I cannot even swallow the first bite! Many buses bring you to Princes Street.
Homestay at Moat Place (15 minutes to Princes Street), Staircase not so pleasant looking and a !fragrance of Indian spice pervades the air! The flat is not unpleasant although no effort was made to make it pleasing to the eyes. A sumptious breakfast is provided. A second duvet with stained bedsheet was available. I used it and skin rashes developed on my thigh!
Caveat Emptor – it is all there, take your pick – STB approved Eyre Guest, Ardenlee although not there personally I'd trust the STB.
This one bedroom flat is situated in a prime location within 5 minutes of walking distance into the heart of city Center.
The host is very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. This is a budget accommodation with basic facilities.
I must remind that the window needs immediate attention as it rattles through wind and draft was not in short supply. Make sure you have adequate clothing.
All in all it the price was right.
The location in New town is great - close to everything. The unit it self is sad! There are 48 stair steps to get to the 3rd floor unit. The apartment itself is just 3 rooms a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. There is no pace to go and sit except for your room. The house is dirty -- not just moderately unclean but dirty. I cleaned the knobs on the stove and the front door on the washing machine. Then I realized that I had paid a lot of money for this bedroom and I shouldn't have to clean. I always wore my sandals in the kitchen because the floor was sticky. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a month or more. In our room there were two different places that we could put our clothes but they were filled with one of Jim's friends clothes and extra pillows and blankets. We did have a closet to hang clothing so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases totally.
Please understand Jim is a great guy -- he waited for us to come to help carry our suitcases up all those fights of stairs and he was helpful as to where to go and what to see. He just needed to hire a cleaning person once a week to clean the rooms.
Jim was an excellent host and was always at hand to help needed.
His flat was brilliantly situated, with shops, cafes, bars and village life all around.
I slept like a log and enjoyed the feeling of being at home rather than that of being a traveller.
Very nice and friendly guy who welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for our stay.
We had a lovely stay with Jim in Edinburgh. He was very helpful and picked us up from the bus stop. We also received many tips and event information on Edinburgh from him. Our room had a sufficient size (we got a bigger one, than we booked before) and we were allowed to use kitchen and bathroom.
Thanks for the nice place to stay!
Jim is very kind and he help us very well. And the bedroom is very nice.
Very friendly host, who told us about the sights and nice palces in Edenburg, and recomanded a very good and cheep restaurant to eat very good haggis. In the house and the kitchen is was not very clean, but we had a nice room and a good warm shower.
Take attention by parking your car, You have to pay for parking and it's quite expensive .
Jim is actually very nice and easy to work with, and - very important - the bed is good. However, the traffic roars all night outside on the cobblestones, and the sun rises in the Scottish summer very early on. I had an eye shield (meant for air travel) and buy earplugs so I could sleep. For traffic Jim can not help, but good, thick curtains would make a big difference.
Jim ist tatsächlich sehr nett und umgänglich, und - sehr wichtig - das Bett ist gut. Der Verkehr rauscht jedoch die ganze Nacht draussen auf dem Kopfsteinpflaster, und die Sonne geht im schottischen Sommer sehr früh auf. Ich musste eine Augenblende (gemeint für Flugreisen) und Ohrstöpsel kaufen, damit ich schlafen konnte. Für den Verkehr kann Jim nichts, aber gute, dicke Vorhänge würden einen grossen Unterschied machen.
Fantastic location, near transport, you need no car and no public transport to reach everything on foot. Jim is a very nice and friendly host. We enjoyed :-)
Fantastische Lage, verkehrsgünstig gelegen, man benötigt kein Auto und auch keinen öffentlichen Nahverkehr, alles fussläufig zu erreichen. Jim ist ein sehr netter und freundlicher Gastgeber. Wir haben es genossen :-)

Fear and flames: DRW house fire sparks wildfire
Roads shut, residents set to flee - but area 'dodged a bullet'
BEND, Ore. - It was a sight sure to fill many with dread – a tall, black smoke column rising from Deschutes River Woods as a home in the heavily wooded subdivision south of Bend burned on a hot Friday afternoon, quickly spreading to nearby trees and grass and threatening other nearby homes.
And indeed, Shane and Jennifer Haller lost their manufactured home -- and a dog -- to the blaze that broke out around 3:30 p.m. at their home at 19599 Apache Road, while they were away, authorities and family members said. Another home also was damaged, as the fire spread fast and fiercely.
But quick action by several police and fire agencies held the wildfire to about 1.5 acres, and amid road closures, worried residents grabbing hoses to spray their roofs and fear a 1,000-gallon propane tank behind one nearby home might explode, the tragic loss was limited, and everyone agreed - it could have been a lot worse.
Friday night, Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki said their investigation found that the fire began as an electrical fire in the living room of the unoccupied home, with no one there to spot or report it. It soon spread outside – "and then the wind drove the fire from there," he said.
Neighbors called in the fire and reported it spreading quickly into the brush behind the home, and onto adjacent parcels.
Bend fire officials quickly called in Oregon Department of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service crews to help battle the spreading wildfire – about 40 firefighters all told, working as brisk winds pushed the fire toward the southeast and other homes.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies, Oregon State Police troopers and Bend police helped close roads, warn neighbors and keep the public out of the fire's path, including many who stopped to gawk – always something first responders plead with folks not to do.
The region's Structural Protection Task Force No. 2 (made up of Redmond, Sunriver, Sisters, Black Butte and Cloverdale firefighters) was called up and getting ready to head in and help protect the rural homes.
The spreading fire also damaged a home to the south, along with destroying an older car on that property, a lot of fencing, a ski boat and a small storage outbuilding with tools and equipment in it, Derlacki said.
"DRW and those neighbors along Apache and Cinder Butte definately dodged a bullet yesterday," Derlacki said Saturday morning. "Hot, dry air with a good breeze threatened a lot of homes."
"A combination of some good defensible space and quick, agressive action by fire crews kept the damage to a minimum. If either of those factors were not there yesterday (fire crews or def. space) things could have ended much worse."
"The potential for the fire to spread to a much larger area was there, and traffic was heavy toward the end of work on a Friday," Derlacki said.
Baker Road, the main eastside way in and out of DRW off Highway 97, was shut for a time as crews responded, with ODOT and Deschutes County road crews assisting. Apache and Cinder Butte roads were closed for hours as crews made sure the fire was out and wouldn't threaten evacuations.
But within an hour of the first call, as some residents threw things into their car, leaving or preparing to, word came over police radios that the firefighting force already on scene had managed to carve lines on all four sides of the blaze, and that widespread evacuations would not be necessary.
When it was all over, Derlacki said losses totaled $300,000 – two-thirds of that the house, one-third the contents, including vehicles and an outbuilding.
But fires can rekindle, and Derlacki said crews stayed on scene past 10 p.m. Friday and would be on hand throughout Saturday to make sure the fire is fully extinguished and the wildland areas are mopped up. Temperatures are expected to cool a bit, but still rise to the 80s.

This chapter was awesome. I actually squealed like a fangirl when I saw Kenpachi's big entrance. Can't wait to see the mayhem that man brings to this fight.

so they just kill Byakuya like that???? Byakuya need an epic ending but he's just get killed easily???
I'm mad... lol
anyway, Kenpachi's entrance is awesome... who will predict there's still some Shinigami who can put up a fight.... I even forget that Kenpachi always fight without bankai (because he doesn't have it) so he will have no problem against that quincy... xD

Think kenpachi will lose the fight in the next chapter and probably quite easily too. Predicting that the quincies won't suffer much casualties after killing most of the captains. That quincy boss will most likely fight yamamoto afterwards. Hoping to see some Royal Guards soon.

Well, Kenpachi doesn't even have a bankai to steal (or so they say), so he should at least put up a good fight. But I can't see him taking down the boss. That seems more like Ichigo's job. Kenpachi taking on the boss so early just tells me that he's gonna die.

The score that really matters is more like:
Quincy: 3
Shinigami: 3
Since the only characters that really matter are Captains, Vice-Captains and the two from the 11th Squad.

I almost feel sad that I couldn't bring myself to enjoy this chapter as much as the rest of you. Byakuya lost the battle last week as far as I'm concerned. And instead of getting an ample amount of plot progression, the majority of the chapter was spent beating the dead horse. The only real plot progression happened at the end. Its nice to see Kenpachi's not wasting any time trying to move things along.
Anyways, if Kubo felt Byakuya was worthy of a quick and effortless defeat, then I'll call BS if Kenpachi doesn't follow suit (especially since he's confronting Buckbeard of all people). Its pretty much a given that Kubo needs to further establish feats that will prove why this guy is the leader. So an easy win for Buckbeard is obviously expected right here and now. Then again, I suppose the same general notion could also apply towards the 2nd-in-command. Either way, Kenpachi's going down.
Please just make it quick Kubo. I mean at this point, it's obvious the shinigami aren't going to win this round. And since this outcome was already alluded to way back in February, I'd rather not spend the next couple dozen chapters dragging out this massacre. Oh, and for the love of god, DO NOT switch to another battle next chapter. Because despite my gripes with this weeks chapter, I'm actually very excited for next weeks chapter...unless we end up switching scenes to establish how Hitsugaya, Soifon, and Komamura are holding up.

The apartment was lovely, and so was Loredana.
The apartment had all the facilleties that you need, it was very clen, it seamed very new-renovated and we got sheets and plenty of towels as well!
It was not far to walk to the old town of Ortiga or to the Archeologic area.
We got a map of Ortiga from Loredana, she was very sweeet and helpful. In the end of the road was a café and bakery, where we bought fresh bread every morning which was really nice.
I stayed in the apartment together with my parents and my 8 years old nephew, and we would definitely recommend you to hire Loredanas apartment.
Best regards, Hanna Krozer

Among the greatest needs the Lycoming Fund meets is need-based support. Lycoming provides tens of millions of dollars in financial aid each year, spending more than 40% of its annual operating budget to make sure students who are admitted can attend, regardless of their families' ability to pay.
It is truly the generosity of alumni through the Lycoming Fund that makes a Lycoming education possible. With a gift to the Lycoming Fund, you enrich the classroom, enhance the campus and enliven the community for Lycoming students today and tomorrow.
Every gift to the Lycoming Fund counts because every gift impacts Lycoming students. All gifts, regardless of size, also have the power to leverage additional dollars because college-ranking and grant-making organizations weigh the percentage of the College's alumni support heavily in their decision-making. How many alumni give,
rather than how much they give, is the measure commonly understood to reflect alumni satisfaction in their alma mater and, by extension, student satisfaction. A school with a strong number of alumni donors is typically ranked higher (see chart on the next page) and stands a better chance of being funded by the foundations and corporations that support higher education.
Is Lycoming expensive? Compared to Susquehanna at $45,500 or Juniata at $43,400, our annual price tag of $41,000 for tuition, room and board is reasonable. But $41,000 is a lot of money any way you look at it. Why does college cost so much? Higher education is a personnel-, infrastructure- and technology-intensive industry. Each of these areas is crucial to our educational mission, and each also calls for significant financial investment.
Private schools such as Lycoming operate without the state subsidies of public institutions. And our small, residential, liberal arts and sciences model, believed by many to be the best way to educate undergraduates, requires even greater investment:
Lycoming believes strongly in the value of having our students learn from the best professors. Counter to the current trend in higher education of relying more heavily on parttime, non-tenure and graduate student instructors, Lycoming provides its students the advantages of a faculty in which more than 85% of professors hold tenure or tenure-track positions and more than 90% hold the highest degree in their field.
Lycoming's size offers students individual attention in and beyond the classroom, along with rich opportunity for personal development in a supportive, residential setting. But our size and educational mission mean that we don't have larger universities' economies of scale and "money-maker" programs such as graduate and online study and Division I athletics.
Remember how beautiful our campus looked the last time you were here? Maintenance of the campus— keeping buildings up-to-date and up-to-code, paying the electric bills, landscaping, painting, updating technology and well-used furnishings—is costly. An attractive and functional campus not only serves well the current students who call it home but also makes Lycoming competitive in bringing new students to campus each year.
Page 3 ->
As one of the 19 Tier 1 National Liberal Arts Colleges in Pennsylvania, we have reason to be proud. And as our excellence is recognized more and more broadly, it's a great time to show that pride in a measureable and meaningful way that makes a difference for current and future students. Increasing our alumni participation in the Lycoming Fund can be simpler than you might think. You will help us make strides by:
If all of the alumni who gave to Lycoming once in the last five years were to give every year, our participation percentage would immediately jump to 30%.
New graduates increase the number of Lycoming alumni by hundreds each year. By setting aside just the cost of a cocktail or dinner out for the Lycoming Fund, young alumni can make a substantial impact.
Gifts of any size show alumni appreciation for their alma mater and support current and future students in a significant way.

Never been to one!! I will keep all of this mind if I ever go to one. Thanks for the advice!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Never been to one!! I will keep all of this mind if I ever go to one. Thanks for the advice!!!
I have never been to a retreat but it sounds like something I would enjoy. Not sure if they have them in this area.
Pat M.
Your post was very funny. For a few years I attended a rather large retreat with my best friend. Most of the time we had great "neighbors" but a few times we weren't so lucky. This was before cell phone usage was prevalent, so we dodged that bullet. Because of the layouts of the room, we were assigned tables. Each of us had a table, my neighbor had MY table and hers as well. The entire weekend I spent "reclaiming" my space. LOL. Another year, I sat across from a woman who never stopped talking. She would interrupt conversations and even asked me if I was married as she was looking for a wife for her son. I assured her I was. She then went on to explain that her son was a shepherd. This retreat was held in a very large metropolitan area. I really didn't know what to think about looking like I would be good shepherd wife material. On arriving home, I immediately got a new hair style and changed my make-up!! It takes all kinds. That retreat eventually quit being held and I now attend two retreats a year which are very small and the same good friends attend. It's such a great time to sew, laugh, catch up on life, drink wine, eat good food and chocolate. It's in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see everyone. I'm so lucky to be able to do this.
Never been to a retreat yet, but will be going to a focus day on Saturday. We're making several projects, everyone will be working on the same thing at the same time.
Good idea about not using cell phones. Those things have a bad habit of going off when you least expect it.
Thanks also for telling about the unfamiliar machines. I plan on bringing my FW and need to get it out and make sure it works before I get there!

I've never been to a retreat but I can tell you that I don't suffer in silence. Once the patience has been used up, I tend to speak my mind. lol
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!
Thank you for making me laugh. Sorry you are having such a rough time. Love the rules another quilter posted such as if you are chillie, put on a sweater...etc. Hope you have a better day.
I read your post because it was authored by you. You know, when E F Hutton speaks everyone listens
I just turned down a retreat: Reason being I didn't want to lug my sleeping stuff AND my quilting stuff.
The time it takes to load at home, unload at retreat, load after retreat and unload at home... I could have had a V-8 or gotten a whole lot of sewing done. Do I sound older and getting practical in my old age. Yup! And I ain't changin'!
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. [John Newton (1725-1807)]
You know, it is the same way in church, movie or a meeting of some sort, there is always someone (most of the time a child crying) rattleing paper, talking or whatever. Most of the time there is no where to move to so you have to grin and bear the NOISE. The most noise usually happens right at the interesting part of the program. We as people just don't think sometimes on how we bother other listeners.
And she was opinionated, critical, outspoken, snobbish, know-it-all, and was finally reprimanded by the retreat leader for some comments she made. Everybody tried to avoid her, but I was stuck with her at least 6-8 hours a day/night.
I tried to alleviate the problem by staying up at night sewing until I felt sure she was already asleep, and rising in the morning, throwing on yesterday's clothes, and stumbling to the sewing room as early as I could before she woke up. When she came down, I went up to dress, avoiding her again.
It was the best time and the worse time ever at retreat!!

Living in the foothills
peacefully colors my world.
I once attended a workshop sponsored by a new fabric shop. The instructor was one I had already had a class with and it was great. But this time ...the shop owner wasn't present, the instructor was on the phone disiplining and giving instructions to her home-alone brood of children. One of the students came with a new machine (foreign made and foreign to her) that she didn't even know how to thread. Had to experiment with the presser feet because she didn't know which was which. So when the instructor was not on the phone (and sometimes she did both) she was helping the clueless student. It was an heirloom class and we were supposed to be making a sample book with all of the different techniques. Needless to say, my samples were incomplete. The next day I tried to do as many as I could remember from her sketchy directions. Never again! Oh, and did I say "NEVER AGAIN"?
Bella, I know you were thinking about just packing up and heading towards home. I know I would have.

a term mostly used to describe a white professional athlete who lacks a discernible skill but makes up for it with passion and fire. Often the athlete is undersized. Comparable to "Bulldog" or "Sparkplug." White people love to overvalue these athletes contribution to their respective teams and always include a reference to intangibles.

Pubic hairs on the testicles that have been burned, usually in the dangerous sport of Fart-Flaming. Fart-Flaming is played, either singly, in doubles or in groups (see Mongolian Cluster Fuck) by eating foods that produce immense amounts of intestinal gas, then waiting for a flatus event. As the fart begins to pass the sphincter, the player lights the gas, containing considerable methand and hydrogen sulfide, with a match or a Bic Lighter. If the flame is not extinguished fast enough or if the player is careless, the nut hairs can become singed.
Bill and Ted got together with Beavis and Butthead to play Fart-Flames and ended up with a case of singed nut hairs.

text: Long awaited Season opener against the Heat in Miami. Just when you think Rily has lost it he goes off and pulls a trade adding Ricky Davis and Marc Blount for almost nothing, if you don't consider Antoine Walker as still being of much value that is. This opener gets top billing as the Nation tunes in to see if the Pistons and Heat have rejuvinated their rosters enough to re-take the East. Should be a good one. Heat have been slow starters and they have more key pieces to integrate this year. tv : TNT

Movie Review: The Perfect Host
Australian screenwriter-director Nick Tomnay's feature debut stars David Hyde Pierce as a dangerous whack job.
Director: Nick Tomnay Rating: R Studio: Stacey Testro International
It's David Hyde Pierce's party and he'll scare if he wants to in the modest psychological thriller The Perfect Host. Australian screenwriter-director Nick Tomnay's feature debut opens promisingly, like a smart, tingly episode of Alfred Hitchcock's old TV anthology show. An escaped and injured bank robber (Clayne Crawford, charismatically deficient) manipulates his way into the manicured home of Pierce's character, who gets interrupted as he meticulously prepares for a dinner party. Pierce seems like such a flamboyant pushover that the runaway thief assumes that he's got it made, and some in the audience may assume that the movie will become yet another cinematic home invasion showdown between a brute and an aesthete. Then, of course, Pierce reveals his true colors as a dangerous whack job and plot twist gets piled atop cliche and contrivance.
Although the star has a field day in the title role, the movie devolves into a series of pointless excursions down blind alleys and into alternate realities and a nifty premise gets stretched way beyond the point of plausibility and interest. What a violation. After all, a perfect host always knows when to call it a night.

"THERE, there, my good soul, don't blubber! Hysterics won't restore Lady Calmady to health, or bring Sir Richard back to England, home, and duty, or be a ha'porth of profit to yourself or any other created being. Keep your tears for the first funeral. For I tell you plainly I shan't be surprised out of seven days' sleep if this business involves a visit to the churchyard before we get to the other side of it."
John Knott stood with his back to the Chapel‐Room fire, his shoulders up to his ears, his hands forced down into the pockets of his riding‐breeches. Without, black‐thorn winter held the land in its cheerless grasp. The spring was late. Night frosts obtained, followed by pallid, half‐hearted sunshine in the early mornings, too soon obliterated by dreary, easterly blight. This afternoon offered exception to the rule only in the additional discomfort of small, sleeting rain and a harsh skirling of wind in the eastward‐facing casements.—"Livery weather," the doctor called it, putting down his existing lapse from philosophic tolerance to insufficient secretions of the biliary duct.
Before him stood Clara—sometime. Dickie Calmady's devoted nurse and playfellow—her eyes very bright and moist, the reds and whites of her fresh complexion in lamentable disarray.
"I'd never have believed it of Sir Richard," she asserted chokingly. "It isn't like him, so pretty as he was in all his page: 404 little ways, and loving to her ladyship, and civilly behaved to everybody, and careful of hurting anybody's feelings—more so than you'd expect in a young gentleman like him. No! it isn't like him. In my opinion he's been got hold of by some designing person, who's worked on him to keep him away to serve their own ends. There, I'd never have believed it of him, that I wouldn't!"
The doctor's massive head sank lower, his massive shoulders rose higher, his loose lips twisted into a snarling smile.
"Lord bless you, that's nothing new! We none of us ever do believe it of them when the little beggars are in long clothes, or first breeched for that matter. It's a trick of Mother Nature's—one‐idead old lady, who cares not a pin for morality, but only for increase. She knows well enough if we did believe it of them we should clear them off wholesale, along with the blind kittens and puppies. A bucket full of water, and broom to keep them under, would make for a mighty lessening of subsequent violations of the Decalogue! Don't tell me King Herod was not something of a philanthropist when he got to work on the infant population of Bethlehem. One woman wept for each of the little brats then; but his Satanic Majesty only knows how many women wouldn't have had cause to weep for each one of them later, if they'd been spared to grow up."
While speaking, Dr. Knott kept his gaze fixed upon his companion. His humour was none of the gentlest truly, yet he did not let that obscure the main issue. He had business with Clara, and merely waited till the reds and whites of her comely face should have resumed their more normal relations before pursuing it. He talked, as much to afford her opportunity to overcome her emotion, as to give relief to his own. Though now well on the wrong side of sixty, John Knott was hale and vigorous as ever. His rough‐hewn countenance bore even closer resemblance, perhaps, to that of some stone gargoyle carved on cathedral buttress or spout. But his hand was no less skilful, his tongue no less ready in denunciation of all he reckoned humbug, his heart no less deeply touched, for all his superficial irascibility, by the pains, and sins, and grinding miseries, of poor humanity, than of old.
"That's right now," he said approvingly, as the heaving of Clara's bosom became less pronounced. "Wipe your eyes, and keep your nerves steady. You've got a head on your shoulders—always had. Well, keep it screwed on the right way; for you'll need all the common sense that is in it if we are to pull Lady Calmady through. Do?—To begin with this, give her page: 405 food every two hours or so. Coax her, scold her, reason with her, cry even.—After all, I give you leave to, just a little, if that will serve your purpose and not make your hand shake—only make her take nourishment. If you don't wind up the clock regularly, some fine morning you'll find the wheels have run down."
"But her ladyship won't have anyone sit up with her."
"Very well, then sleep next door. Only go in at twelve and two, and again between five and six."
"But she won't have anybody occupy the dressing‐room. It used to be the night nursery you remember, sir, and not a thing in it has been touched since Sir Richard moved down to the Gun‐Room wing."
"Oh, fiddle‐de‐dee! It's just got to be touched now, then. I can't be bothered with sentiment when it's ten to one whether I save my patient."
Again sobs rose in Clara's throat. The poor woman was hard pressed. But that fixed gaze from beneath the shaggy eyebrows was upon her, and, with quaint gurglings, she fought down the sobs.
"My lady's as gentle as a lamb," she said, "and I'd give the last drop of my blood for her. But talk of managing her, of making her do anything, as well. try to manage the wind, she's that set in her ways and obstinate!"
"If you can't manage her, who can?—Mr. March?"
Clara shook her head. Then reluctantly, for though honestly ready to lay down her life for her mistress, she found it far from easy to invite supersession in respect of her, she said:—"Miss St. Quentin's more likely to get round my lady than anyone else."
"Well, then, I'll talk to her. Where is Miss St. Quentin?"
"Here, Dr. Knott. Do you want me?"
Honoria had strolled into the room from the stairhead, her attention arrested by the all‐too‐familiar sound—since sorrowful happenings often of late had brought him to Brockhurst—of the doctor's voice. The skirt of the young lady's habit, gathered up in her left hand, displayed a slightly unconventional length of muddy riding‐boot. The said skirt, her tan, covert coat, and slouched, felt hat, were furred with wet. Her garments, indeed, showed evident traces of hard service, and, though notably well cut, were far from new or smart. They were sad‐coloured, moreover, as is the fashion of garments designed for work. And this weather‐stained, mud‐bespattered costume, taken in connection with her pale, sensitive face, her gallant bearing, and the luminous smile with which she greeted not only Dr. Knott but page: 406 the slightly flustered Clara, offered a picture pensive in tone, but very harmonious, and of a singularly sincere and restful quality. To all, indeed, save those troubled by an accusing conscience and fear of detection, Honoria St. Quentin's presence brought a sense of security and reassurance at this period of her development. Her enthusiasms remained to her; but they were tempered by a wider experience and a larger charity—at least in the majority of cases.
"I'm in a beastly mess," she observed casually.
"So are we," Knott answered.—He had a great liking for this young lady, finding in her a certain stoicism along with a quickness of practical help. "But our mess is worse than yours, in that it is internal rather than external. Yours'll brush off. Not so ours—eh, Clara? There, you can go. I'll talk things over with Miss St. Quentin, and she'll talk 'em over with you later."
Honoria's expression had grown anxious. She spoke in a lower tone of voice.
"Is Lady Calmady worse?"
"In a sense, yes—simply because she is no better. And she's ill, I tell you, just as dangerously ill as any woman can be who has nothing whatever actually the matter with her."
"Except an only son," put in Honoria. "I am beginning to suspect that is about the most deadly disease going. The only thing to be said in its favour is that it is not infectious."
John Knott could not quite keep admiration from his eyes, or provocation from his tongue. He richly enjoyed getting a rise out of Miss St. Quentin.
"I am not so sure of that," he said. "In the case of beautiful women, judging by history, it has shown a tendency to be recurrently sporadic in any case."
"Recommend all such to spend a few months at Brockhurst then, under existing circumstances!" Honoria answered. "There will be very little fear for them after that; they will have received such a warning, swallowed such an antidote!—It is like assisting at the infliction of slow torture. It almost gets on one's brain at times."
"Why do you stay on then?"
Honoria looked down at her muddy boots and then across at the doctor. She was slightly the taller of the two, for in these days his figure had fallen together and he had taken to stooping. Her expression had a delightful touch of self‐depreciation.
"Why does anyone stay by a sinking ship, or volunteer for page: 407 a forlorn hope? Why do you sit up all night with a case of confluent smallpox, or suck away the poisonous membrane from a diphtheritic throat, as I hear you did only last week? I don't know. Just because, if we are made on certain lines, we have to, I suppose. One would be a trifle too much ashamed to be seen in one's own company, afterwards, if one deserted. It really requires less pluck to stick than to run—that's the reason probably.—But about dear Lady Calmady. The excellent Clara was in tears. Is there any fresh mischief over and above the only son?"
"Not at present. But it's an open question how soon there may be.—Good‐day, Mr. March. Been riding? Ought to be a bit careful of that cranky chest of yours in this confounded weather.—Lady Calmady?—Yes, as I was telling Miss St. Quentin, her strength is so reduced that complications may arise any day. A chill, and her lungs may go, a shock, and her heart. It comes to a mere question of the point of least resistance. I won't guarantee the continued soundness of any one organ unless we get changed conditions, a let up of some sort."
The doctor looked up from under his eyebrows, first at Honoria and then at Julius. He spoke bitterly, defiant of his inclination towards tenderness.
"She's just worn herself out," he said, "that's the fact, in the service of others, loving, giving, attempting the impossible in the way of goodness all round. 'Be not righteous over much'—there's a text to that effect in the Scriptures, Mr. March, isn't there? Preach a good, rattling sermon on it next Sunday to Lady Calmady, if you want to keep her here a bit longer. Nature abhors a vacuum. Granted. But nature abhors excess, even of virtue. And punishes it just as harshly as excess of vice.—Yes, I tell you, she's worn herself out."
Miss St. Quentin dropped into a chair and sat bowed together, her hands on her knees, her feet rather far apart. The brim of her hat, pulled down in front to let the rain run off, partially concealed her face. She was not sorry, for a movement of defective courage was upon her, evidence of which she preferred to keep to herself. Julius March remained silent. And this she resented slightly, for she badly wanted somebody to say something, either vindictive or consolatory. Then, indignation getting the better alike of reticence and charity, she exclaimed:—
"It is unpardonable. It ought to be impossible one person should have power to kill another by inches, like this, with impunity."
Ludovic Quayle had sauntered into the room behind Julius page: 408 March. He too was wet and dirty, but such trifles in no wise affected the completeness of his urbanity. His long neck directed forward, as in polite inquiry, he advanced to the little group by the fire, and took up his station beside Honoria's chair.
"Pardon me, my dear Miss St. Quentin," he asked sweetly, "but why the allusions to murder? What is unpardonable?"
"Sir Richard Calmady's conduct," she answered shortly. She threw back her head and addressed Dr. Knott. "It is so detestably unjust. What possible quarrel has he with her, after all?"
"Ah! that—that—lies very deep. A thing, perhaps, only a man, or a mother, can quite comprehend," the doctor answered slowly.
Honoria's straight eyebrows drew together. She objected to extenuating circumstances in this connection, yet, as she admitted, reason usually underlay all Dr. Knott's statements. She divined, moreover, that reason just now touched upon matters inconveniently intimate. She abstained, therefore, from protest or comment. But, since feminine emotion, even in the least weakly of the sex, is bound to find an outlet, she turned upon poor Mr. Quayle.
"He is your friend," she said. "The rest of us are helpless. You ought to take measures. You ought to suggest a remedy."
"With all the pleasure in life," the young man answered. "But you may remember that you delivered yourself of precisely the same sentiments a year and a half ago. And that, fired with the ardour of a chivalrous obedience, I fled over the face of the European continent in hot pursuit of poor, dear Dickie Calmady."
"Poor, dear!" ejaculated Honoria.
"Yes, very much poor, dear, through it all," the young man affirmed. "Breathless, but still obedient, I came up with him at Odessa."
"What was he doing there?" put in the doctor.
Mr. Quayle regarded him not without humour.
"Really, I am not my friend's keeper, though Miss St. Quentin is pleased to make me a handsome present of that enviable office. And so—well—I didn't inquire what he was doing. To tell the truth, I had not much opportunity, for though I found him charming,—yes, charming, Miss St. Quentin,—I also found him wholly unapproachable regarding family affairs. When, with a diplomatic ingenuity upon which I cannot but page: 409 congratulate myself, I suggested the advisability of a return to Brockhurst, in the civilest way in the world he showed me the door. Impertinence is not my forte. I am by nature humble‐minded. But, I give you my word, that was a little episode of which I do not crave the repetition."
Growling to himself, clasping his hands behind his back, John Knott shifted his position. Then, taken with that desire of clergy‐baiting, which would seem to be inherent in members of the Faculty, he addressed Julius March.
"Come now," he said, "your pupil doesn't do you an overwhelming amount of credit it must be admitted, still you ought to be able to give an expert's opinion upon the tendencies of his character. How much longer do you allow him before he grows tired of filling his belly with the husks the swine eat?"
"God knows, not I," Julius answered sadly, but without rancour. "I confess to the faithlessness of despair at times. And yet, being his mother's son, he cannot but tire of it eventually, and when he does so the revulsion will be final, the restoration complete."
"He'll die the death of the righteous? Oh yes! I agree there, for there's fine stuff in him, never doubt that. He'll end well enough. Only the beginning of that righteous ending, if delayed much longer, may come a bit too late for the saving of my patient's life and—reason."
"Do you mean it is as serious as all that?" Ludovic asked with sudden anxiety.
"Every bit as serious!—Oh! you should have let your sister marry him, Mr. Quayle. Then he would have settled down, come into line with the average, and been delivered from the morbid sense of outlawry which had been growing on him—it couldn't be helped, on the whole he's kept very creditably sane in my opinion—from the time he began to mix freely in general society. I'm not very soft or sickly sentimental at my time of day, but I tell you it turns my stomach to think of all he must have gone through, poor chap. It's a merciless world, Miss St. Quentin, and no one knows that better than we case‐hardened old sinners of doctors.—Yes, your sister should have married him, and we might have been saved all this. I doubted the wisdom of the step at the time. But I was a fool. I see now his mother's instinct was right."
Mr. Quayle pursed up his small mouth and gently shrugged his shoulders.
"It is a delicate subject on which to offer an opinion," he said. "I debated it freely in the privacy of my inner conscious‐ page: 410 ness at the time, I assure you. If Lady Calmady had lighted upon the right, the uniquely right, woman—perhaps—yes. But to shore up a twenty‐foot, stone wall with a wisp of straw,—my dear doctor, does that proceeding approve itself to your common sense? And, as is a wisp of straw to such a wall, so was my poor, little sister,—it's hardly flattering to my family pride to admit it,—but thus indeed was she, and no otherwise, to Dickie Calmady."
Whereupon Honoria glanced up gratefully at the speaker, for even yet her conscience pricked her concerning the part she had played in respect of that broken engagement. While John Knott, observant of that upward glance, was once again struck by her manifest sincerity, and the gallant grace of her, heightened by those workmanlike and mud‐bespattered garments. And, being so struck, he was once again tempted by, and once again yielded himself to, the pleasures of provocation.
"Marry him yourself, Miss St. Quentin," he growled, a touch of earnest behind his raillery, "marry him yourself and so set the rest of us free of the whole pother. I'd back you to handle him, or any fellow living, with mighty great success if you'd the mind to!"
For a moment it seemed open to question whether that very fair fish might not make short work of angler as well as of bait. But Honoria relented, refusing provocation. And this not wholly in mercy to the speaker, but because it offered her an opportunity of reading Mr. Quayle a, perhaps useful, lesson. Her serious eyes narrowed, and her upper lip shortened into a delightful smile.
"Hopeless, Dr. Knott!" she answered. "To begin with he'll never ask me, since we like each other very royally ill. And to end with"—she carefully avoided sight of Mr. Quayle—"I—you see—I'm not what you call a marrying man."

I have read here and elsewhere that feeding 1:1 syrup in the spring will stimulate egg laying - that this simulates a nectar flow and prompts the reproductive instincts of the colony.
I have many frames of brood comb, pollen and capped honey from my winter deadouts. I planned on putting these into my hives for the new packages I install. So the newly installed bees presumably won't need syrup for their own consumption...they'll eat from the capped honey.
If in addition to the capped honey I also feed them 1:1 syrup (to stimulate egg laying), my concern is that they'll pack away the sryup into the brood comb and won't leave room for the queen to lay eggs.
Is it necessary to feed a new package 1:1 syrup in the spring under these circumstances? Does the colony really need the "stimulus" of the syrup to start laying eggs?
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Being that this will be my first year keeping bees, what he says makes a lot of sense to me. But like I said this is my first year and i have a lot to learn (but not unlearn, if you catch my drift!). He keeps his hives elevated high enough off the ground to eliminate mouse and skunk damage. Thoughts and experiences?

Mejdrich to speak at Fifty Lakes Foundation meeting
The Fifty Lakes Foundation meeting of Friday, June 21, will feature a presentation by Terry Mejdrich, a science columnist for the Grand Rapids Herald Review.
Mejdrich will speak on climate change and significant geologic events. He will offer some insight into why the last two winter/spring seasons, 2011-12 and 2012-13, have been near polar opposites, and why these events have a common link.
Terry Mejdrich is a life-long resident of northern Minnesota. He graduated from Bemidji State University with math and earth/space science degrees. He was been a teacher, lumberjack, sawmill operator, and a writer, having written and published five books.
The meeting will be at the clubhouse of the Fifty Lakes Foundation, which is located at 40554 South Eagle Lake Road (northeast corner of the Crow Wing County Road 1 and County Road 3 intersection in Fifty Lakes). There is a potluck dinner at 6 p.m. The speaking program begins at 7 p.m. Guests are welcome.

I am fairly new to beekeeping. I go partly foundation-less and also use only medium size frames. With partly foundation-less I mean that I use foundation frames between
the foundation-less frames, so that they build straight comb. In the beginning
I just had foundation-less frames but I quickly put a few foundation frames in to
prevent a mess. So far it works very well.
In the spring it seems the bees rather used the foundation-less frames to build new
comb and usually use the foundation frames a little later. They also build the comb
very quickly.
This changed now. The bees only build little new comb but they still draw out the
foundation frames when they need the space for honey and brood.
My conclusion from this observation is, that I only put foundation frames or frames with already build comb in to the hives in late summer and fall.
In spring I will use more the foundation-less frames.
I use the Mann Lake PF-125 frames, these are the black medium size frames.
Do you see similar behavior in your hives?
What are your thoughts?

Reviews of this property
Apologies for the delay in leaving this review. This apartment was spotlessly clean and is in a good location, close to the city centre and also to Grunerlokka centre. It is a stone's throw from the beautiful botanic gardens and Munch Museet. The apartment facilities are excellent and Stein Inge was on hand to point us in the right direction. I would not hesitate to recommended the apartment for a couple. It is also in a quiet block. Thanks for the use of your apartment Stein Inge, superb apartment in a superb city.
Clean and comfortable apartment, great dealing with arrival and check out times. Near the city center, the Botanic Garden and Munch-Museum around the corner, the Nicomachean Ethics in the bookshelf. Couldt have had it better. Thanks!
This apartment was perfect for my one month stay in Oslo. The apartment is modern, new, well appointed, clean, comfy and cosy. It's location is fantastic with easy access to groceries, public transportation, restaurants, lovely parks, shopping, and simply wandering through Grunnerlokka (and any part of Oslo). The owner is friendly and quickly responsive to communications. The rental rate is very affordable and real deal. I give it the highest rating possible! I loved living in it and would do it again. Highest praise for this lovely 2-room apartment in Grunnerlokka, Oslo!
Everything was perfect, apartment has a good size for 2 people, nice quiet area, it is by bus or tram quickly in the center, I would book again if I was coming to Oslo!
Alles perfekt, Wohnung hat eine gute Größe für 2 Personen, schön ruhig gelegen, man ist mit dem Bus oder Straßenbahn sehr schnell im Zentrum, würde ich wieder buchen, wenn ich nach Oslo kommen würde!
We want to highly recommend this apartment to everyone. First of all perfect contact with the owner via email or phone. Before we got there he gave us amazing instructions what to do, where to go etc it was very easy to find. Apartment is based in very handy and quiet area ; right in front of it there is a bus stop where we could get either bus or tram to the Town , they both go very often we never waited more than 5 mins. Although walking distance to the City Center is only about 15-20 mins so public transport is not even always necessary. Apartment is nice, cosy, clean and perfect for couple or friends. Double bed is quite big and very comfortable. You will find there everything you need while staying away. We won't search for anything else if we come back to Oslo. Thank you Stein, it was a pleasure to deal with you.
Lovely small apartment, easy access to public transport to downtown Oslo.
The apartment had everything we needed for our stay.
We loved Oslo en enjoyed our stay in this apartment.
It was really cold in Oslo the first few days (-13 degrees celsius) so the electric heating wasn't enough to heat the apartment (to the temperature I feel most comfortable in) but nonetheless a really nice small place to stay in Oslo for a winter holiday.
Small apartment, perfect for our stay in Oslo. Communication was good before hand and instructions were easy to follow. We stayed in November (cold!) but it was warm and cosy. Stein was able to provide a cot for our baby which was really helpful. Apartment is really close to the tram but you can walk to the centre in 10-15 mins so we did this most of the time. There is a supermarket 2 mins away too.
We had a great time in the very cosy, complete and clean apartment of Stein Inge.
All was very well organized, the apartment is situated in an very nice neighborhood and we can recommend it highly. Although we didn't see Stein Inge from our communications we can tell you that he's a great host
The apartment was very well located, it is close to the center. The apartment was very cozy and tidy. Also with the keys worked great everything. At any time gladly again.
Die Wohnung war sehr schön gelegen, es liegt in Zentrumsnähe. Die Wohnung war sehr gemütlich und ordentlich. Auch mit der Schlüsselübergabe hat alles super geklappt. Jederzeit gern wieder.

The site is among the many little granite islands of the North Channel of Georgian Bay. The date was July 2003. The water snake was sunning on a rocky beach but took to the water when we approached. It was quite a large snake -- over 1 m long. This is the second of two photos.

CLAYTON -- Jim and Sherrie Fico hustled through their home Sunday night, collecting photographs, computer hard drives, personal documents and any other valuables they could think of.
A wildfire was spreading quickly on Mount Diablo, and their home on Oak Hill Lane was in harm's way. But the couple had no idea how close to the danger they were until Sherrie took a peek out into her front yard.
"The fire was out our front door," Sherrie Fico said. "It was the scariest thing I've ever seen."
The Ficos were back at their home Tuesday as firefighters, aided by cooler temperatures and fresh legs, curtailed the fire's advancement and expressed hope that the worst was behind them.
Cal Fire reported Tuesday night that the fire was 60 percent contained. A total of 1,413 fire personnel have responded to aid in containing the blaze.
"If today goes like last night and the past 24 hours have gone, we can see this fire being stopped very soon," said Cal Fire spokeswoman Tina Rose. "We have the resources we need to fight it, and we seem to be getting cooperation from the weather, especially the lack of winds. We are not out of the woods yet, but we are optimistic."
Fire officials said 3,243 acres had burned, a figure down from an estimated 3,718 acres that Cal Fire announced Monday. Authorities said the new figure was the result of new mapping done Monday night.
Relief provided by approximately 700 new firefighters who took over for 250 who worked the first 30-36 hours of the blaze helped curtail the blaze's advancement as did cooler temperatures that first were felt early Tuesday, Williams said.
Temperatures, which were in the mid- to high 90s in most Bay Area locales over the weekend, did not top 90 degrees anywhere on Tuesday.
Four firefighters have been injured fighting what's being called the Morgan Fire but none seriously, Williams said. The fire, which originated on Morgan Territory Road near Marsh Creek Road, has been burning since about 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Crews on Tuesday still were trying to establish about 5 miles of fire lines, Rose said, and firefighters and air support units were awaiting word on whether they were needed to fight the Clover fire in Shasta County. That fire, southwest of Redding, had burned 30 structures, mostly homes, and more than 60,000 acres through Tuesday morning.
The Ficos and a handful of other residents on Oak Hill Lane, about 1,300 feet up Mt. Diablo, began returning to their residences Tuesday morning. Evacuation orders issued to about 75 homes on Sunday were lifted Tuesday evening and only Morgan Territory Road remained closed..
"This never happened (before)," said Sherrie Fico, who has lived in the home for 21 years. "Now you look out, it's a war zone."
Jim Fico fought the blaze with a garden hose, and he and his wife stayed in the home Sunday, bolstered by the large presence of firefighters. They left Monday and were allowed to return Tuesday.
"He saw the worst of it," Marin County firefighter Will Corbett said. "He may have made more of a difference in saving his house than we did by a long shot."
Cleon Winter, 67, of Antioch, and Kent Swindell, 66, of Concord, two members of the 61-year-old Diablo Bowmen Archery Club, returned to find the target range at the club gutted. The clubhouse was saved, but $35,000 in 3-D lifelike targets were lost.
"You could almost see a grown man cry," Winter said.
The fire has been moving up the mountain since Sunday, but Rose said fire crews are stationed near the structures atop the peak. She said a beacon atop Mt. Diablo that's lit every Dec. 7 to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor is safe for now.
"They are guarding that beacon light like a mama bear guards her cubs," Rose said.
A large plume of smoke that could be seen through much of the Bay Area on Sunday and Monday seemed to dissipate Tuesday. A spokesman for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District said a smoke advisory would remain in effect until the fire is out or until the smoke dissipates.
"What we're finding is that most of the smoke is staying above (layers) in the air where it might be more harmful," spokesman Tom Flannigan said. "But we just want people to be aware that they should take precautions should they find themselves in places where the smoke seems heavy."
Fire officials still have not said what has caused the Morgan fire.
