Reviews of this property
Location couldn't be better, very near to Grand Place. Wendy waited to hand over the keys to us although we were a bit late. She's also friendly and helpful.
The location of the apartment is fantastic. it is very quiet.
Marcelo very courteous. Some details could be improved, as -Bread grid, the kettle and the door to enter the shower ds.
All is fine.
La localisation de L'appart est fantastique . il est très calme.
Marcelo très courtois . Quelques détails pourraient s'améliorer, comme le grille -pain, la bouilloire et la porte pour pour entrer ds la douche.
L'ensemble est très bien .
We have been satisfied with the apartment in Brussels city center. As we traveling by train, and had appointments in the Museum district, it was the perfect location – everything being at walking distance. Marcelo was very kind, especially as we have had to postpone our arrival to almost midnight, due to flight delays. The apartment is of generous size for two people, well equipped and very silent. As it is on the ground level, the access is easy and the courtyard in front makes it a good choice also for smokers. It is quite dark though, but this also was due to the winter-grey city. We certainly can recommend this apartment!
Mr. Marcelo had before and regularly during our trip contact us to verify if we were happy and if we needed anything. He himself was at the other end of the world, but contact was da..Eine caregiver came regularly drop by. Very lobenswert.Wir have rented this apartment for longer and the apartment has been cleaned in between and we got fresh linen. Wonderful - thank Marcelo
Herr Marcelo hatte regelmäßig vor und während unsere Reise Kontakt mit uns um nachzuprüfen ob wir zufrieden waren und ob wir etwas brauchten. Er selbst war am anderen End der Welt , aber Kontakt war da..Eine Bezugperson kam regelmäßig mal vorbei . Sehr lobenswert.Wir haben diese Wohnung länger gemietet und die Wohnung ist zwischendurch geputzt worden und wir haben frische Wäsche bekommen. Wunderbar - Danke Marcelo
The apartment loved it. It has an excellent location and has needed for a pleasant stay. Marcelo was extremely helpful to us, was waiting for us on our arrival and took the time to explain in detail what to do and how to move in Brussels. With Wimdu and Marcelo for the excellent service. If we return to Brussels not hesitate to contact them again.
El apartamento nos encanto. Tiene una excelente ubicación y tiene lo necesario para una estancia agradable. Marcelo fue súper atento con nosotros, estaba esperándonos a nuestra llegada y se tomo el tiempo para explicarnos con detalles que hacer y como movernos en Bruselas. Gracias a wimdu y a Marcelo por el excelente servicio. Si volvemos a bruselas no dudaremos en contactarlos de nuevo.
The apartment in the best place in Brussels and the host super attentive and friendly place to repeat
El apartamento precioso en el mejor lugar de Bruselas y el anfitrion super atento y amable un lugar para repetir
We stayed in Marcelo's Apartment for 3 nights and were very satisfied with everything. The Apartment is very nice, quiet and at a great location right in the middle of the city. Marcelo meet us on the way from the station and helped carring the luggage to the Apartment. There were maps of the city in the Apartment so we were well prepared for out stay. We can for sure recommend a stay in Marcelo's Apartment.
We stayed at Marcelo's apartment for one week and really enjoyed the place - really nice, clean, quiet and with every comfort for short and medium periods-, the location- in the heart of down town and few meters from Bruxelles Centrale - and Marcelo is a very kind person. We would definetely recommend it!
The apartment is very well located 3 minutes from Central Station and the Grand Plaza. It is a very set but the house is quiet. It was very clean and decorated with new furniture and tasteful. Marcelo is charming and attentive. Suitable for a couple alone or with a small child.
El apartamento esta muy bien situado, a 3 min de la estación Central y de la Gran Plaza. Es una zona muy ambientada pero el inmueble es tranquilo. Estaba muy limpio y decorado con mobiliario nuevo y con gusto. Marcelo es encantador y atento. Recomendable para una pareja sola o con un hijo pequeño.

Two 'Gypsy' moths found in Butte County foothills
MAGALIA, Calif. - Two invasive moths were found in the Magalia area last week.
The Butte County Agricultural Department wants to know if any more are seen.
Experts say they found the Gypsy moths within a mile of each other, and they're concerned because these bugs can destroy trees in the Butte County foothills.
One of the moths was found at Tri Flame Propane off the Skyway and the other was found on Calvary Court.
Experts say these moths can eat the leaves and weaken the bark of a tree, even when they're just caterpillars. They'll usually come back to the same tree each year.
The Butte County Department of Agriculture has set up green traps all around Magalia to trap the invasive creatures. Experts say these moths have a big appetite.
"It has a very wide range and it will literally take the plants down to nothing. It will look like Yosemite in the winter time when this thing has a full season of eating," said Butte County agricultural commissioner Richard Price.
The department inspected the traps around Magalia Monday and so far they have not found anything. They will check on Wednesday and Friday to see if they catch anything.
The Department of Agriculture is asking for your help. If you see any of these moths around your home or work you're asked to give them a call.
If you would like to get one of those green traps, you can pick them up at any of the agriculture offices either in Chico, Gridley, or Oroville.

PUSD Already Receives From The State $4.0 MM Each Year To Pay For Class Size Reductions K-3
Original post made by frank, Pleasanton Heights, on Apr 30, 2009
"Isn't class size reduction funded by the state?
Since its inception, class size reduction (CSR) has never been fully funded by the state. The number of teachers it takes to meet the requirement of 20 students per teacher has always cost more than the funding received from the state. In Pleasanton, we receive about $4 million to support the program for grades K through 3. The actual cost is $5.6 million. By eliminating CSR for these grades, we would save $1.6 million from the general fund. The unfortunate part is that we would also lose the access to the $4 million from the state. At this writing, in order to realize a savings, we would have to eliminate CSR at an entire grade level—there is no option to increase class sizes a little (like to 25) and still receive funding. "
Now here is what SavePleasantonSchools writes on their web site about this issue:
"I've heard that the district gets millions of state dollars for the Class Size Reduction (CSR) program. Why is the district cutting it? Is this a scare tactic to get a "YES" vote on Measure G?
It is true that annually, Pleasanton Unified receives $4 million dollars from the state for the CSR program. However, it requires approximately $6 million dollars to adequately fund the CSR program. PUSD provides the remaining $2 million dollars. This $2 million is equally divided amongst K-3 and 9th grade to the tune of $400,000 per grade level. Since the state's cuts to education are so severe, it is necessary to make cuts to all programs beyond the basic required classroom ratio come Fall of 2009."
If you throw out the $400,000 for the 9th grade (everyone is emotional about K-3), you get the same numbers as the PUSD website FAQ, $1.6 MM must be added to the $4 MM from the state. Nowhere is there stated that the $4 MM from the state is not coming into the district because of funding cuts.
SO WHY IN THE WORLD OUT OF A BUDGET OF $120 MM IS PUSD THREATENING TO PULL $1.6 MM (1.3 percent) AWAY FROM CLASS SIZE REDUCTIONS FOR K-3?
The answer: to extort votes for passing a parcel tax. No one in their right mind in business in the private sector would cut contribution to a co-funding arrangement where the co-funder supplies such a high proportion of the funding. (Note the SPS web site answer begins with "it is true".)

And the district information also states that if CSR is eliminated at the elementary level, 75 teachers will be cut. (Remember all the pink-slip drama a month ago?)
So for $1.6 M, 75 jobs could be saved. That seems like a no brainer to me. And talk about local economic stimulus effect!

Send out pink slips to the least senior staff--pink shirts, teachers in tears, students crying . . . paint a picture of "overcrowded" classrooms at 30:1, Johnny and Susie aren't learning anything, some child sneezes . . . So, let's repeat, the biggest emotional hammer in the district's toolbox.
I'd like to think this community is smart enough to see past the bs and hold this district accountable for past fiscal practices and the drama they are intentionally creating. There is $2 million in the budget they can cut and still keep CSR (and I'm leaving out that they can move classes to 21:1 or 22:1, etc. and save money). That's about $8 million over the life of this proposed tax . . . what do they need the other $10 million for . . .
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on May 1, 2009 at 9:05 am
Dr. Casey and the school board members considered all possibilities before putting CSR on the chopping block. There are no better alternatives. I suggest that you educate yourself in this issue.
Moreover, the board members and Dr. Casey held multiple public hearings prior to putting the tax on the ballot. This topic was covered on numerous occasions. Never once did I hear a voice of opposition. Hmm...
Do the right thing and support our children, our schools, and our community.
Vote YES on G!
a resident of Amador Valley High School

what do they need the other $10 million for . . .
Kathleen, they don't NEED it, they WANT it for a "stable funding source." (Does this imply the parcel tax will become a permanent fixture on our tax bill?)
Instead of working to fix a broken tax allocation system, they just ask for MORE MORE MORE. It's easier to use that emotional hammer than to negotiate real change.

RIC Counseling Center Offers Students Confidential Services
Left to right, front row: Tom Lavin, Donna Lamoureux, Andrew Keith, Denise Smith Back row: Rhonda Beck, Catherine Conroy, Jan Park, Ryan Porell
What good will it do to talk to someone?
That's a response RIC Counseling Center Director Tom Lavin often hears from students who are reluctant to seek mental health counseling when overwhelmed with personal and academic difficulties.
But talking, Lavin said, is often exactly what they need.
"As humans, we have an innate need to be understood and comforted, and sometimes another person can help soothe our distress when we can't do that for ourselves," he said.
The Counseling Center provides students confidential and free, voluntary counseling with licensed psychologists who offer what Lavin calls flexible short-term therapy. That means that most students see center staff for a few sessions.
Often, he said, that is all they need. In fact, The National Institute of Health reports that up to 80 percent of people treated for depression show less severe symptoms within four to six weeks.
For those who wish to continue counseling, the center connects students to off-campus service providers. The center can provide additional counseling for students who are not able to afford outside care.
"We cannot change what is happening in their lives, but we can change the perspective from which the student views a situation," Lavin said. "College is a time of life filled with uncertainty and stress. Any kind of loss, failure or disappointment can seem unmanageable. A college student experiencing suicidal thoughts is not rare."
Those thoughts can be escalated by a highly publicized suicide death, such as that of Robin Williams, who died on Aug. 11.
"People identify with celebrities, and hearing of someone dying by suicide may make suicide seem more possible to a person vulnerable to it," he said. "Sometimes, it's easy to recognize when someone is distraught, but other people are very good at hiding their distress."
Resident assistants undergo training to help recognize when students may need help and to encourage them to seek help. For college faculty and staff who are not trained – as well as a student's peers – Lavin advises watching out for distress signs that include behavioral changes, especially increased anger or irritability and decreased participation in class and activities.
The Counseling Center also provides a variety of group workshops and programs aimed to help students fully develop their intellectual, emotional and social potential.
These programs include Quieting the Mind, a weekly mindfulness meditation hour held every Thursday during the academic semester, from noon to 1 p.m. in Craig-Lee Hall, Room 130. This program resumes on Sept. 4.
"It is really a good opportunity to pause and change our natural sense of frantic doing," Lavin said. "It shifts your perspective to being more present and living one moment at a time. This becomes an inner resource when we get distressed, which we all do."
For more information on Counseling Center services, visit www.ric.edu/counselingctr or call 456-8094. All services, including appointment inquiries, are strictly confidential and are not reported on student records.

A lot of times when I'm FMQ'ing I don't use the foot pedal. The speed stays consistent and then all I have to concentrate on is moving my fabric. Apparently I do better when only trying to accomplish one thing at a time!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
A lot of times when I'm FMQ'ing I don't use the foot pedal. The speed stays consistent and then all I have to concentrate on is moving my fabric. Apparently I do better when only trying to accomplish one thing at a time!
I think it will really help me get into free motion. Until now I just SID. Which I have a special foot for by the way..who knew??!!
I would love a knee lift. Maybe next time!!
I have a Janome 6600P and I love the knee lift for the pressure foot and use it all the time. I have used the thread cutter but I'm having problems with it jamming at times, so I don't use it too much. It has a start and stop button, but I always use the foot pedal. I'm going to have to try it while FMQ as michelleoc does - never thought to do that.
I recently got to test drive the Janome Horizon, and loved it. I didn't like the knee lift--I kept hitting my elbow (funny bone) on it. I am just the right height to hit my funny bone on everything. I seem to hit door knobs the most. I guess that is just my cross to bear. lol After hitting it a couple of times, I took it off. Loved, loved the machine--maybe next time, when I have more money to spend.
I find FMQ much easier on my Janome with its Start/Stop button that I can pre-set the speed on, rather than my Pfaff QE4 which is pedal only. The thread I've saved with the auto thread cutter has about paid for the machine, lol.
For appliqué, I prefer the Pfaff with the auto-pivot. This lifts the presser foot automatically, with needle down, when you stop sewing and automatically puts it down when you start sewing again, doing away with the need for a knee lift.
Now I need to find a machine that does it all!
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
My machine will sew without the foot pedal - I've used it like that when quilting. Sometimes these machines have so many wonderful features we can't possibly use them all!
I have NOT used a foot pedal in over 3 years. I love just pushing the button and away you go. I also love the needle treader and the scissors button on mine. I absolutely love my sewing machine. I get a smile on my face every time I sit down to use it.
I learned to sew with the knee bar, but it wasn't just a lifter it was my go juice! It was in the 60's and I think the machine was a White, or it could have been an Elna. It was a great way to sew, but now I'm not so sure I could coordinate my knee to do the job anymore!
i use the start/stop with no pedal for sewing decorative stitches on long runs vs, short runs with lots of turns. Makes it easier for me to manage the fabric. I have used the knee lifter for so long I can't sew without it. To me it's a time saver but it did take a bit to get used to it in the beginning.
I love the start/stop button and wonder how I ever used the foot pedal. Mine kept running away from me and I was forever chasing it down. I tried all the hints to keep it in place but they never worked. I don't use the thread cutter asI like longer tails to hold onto to start my seams. I don't use the knee lifter as it seems so cumbersome to have it there. I tried not getting it, but it came with themachines I have so they are somewhere around here but I don't know where.

I'm afraid of Lauri already, she's already got her winter meat supply in the freezer. Who's prepared?
Until it is time to give a hive count in October, perhaps some could give their overwintering methods a post. Name the climate and state you are in please.
3 hives. 2 I'm 2 deeps and 1 in 3 meds. All new hives this year. No treatments.
No winter prep other than making sure mite loads aren't crazy high.
It snows about once per winter but rarely sticks, there is nectar available at least 11 months per year, Most weeks have at least a couple days warm enough for the bees to fly.
USDA zone 9b
Ok, I'm done with combines and the like. I have 34 hives all treatment free other than powdered sugar.
It has begun!
I'm already setting up swarm traps near the Frank compound for this coming spring.
I'm in with 17. 11 treated with Hopguard, 6 untreated.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
I'm in zone 6b, occasionally gets down around 0 F. Snows some, wet.
Mouseguards, SBB open about 1", feeding the light ones to fill 3 meds.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Charlie, perhaps you can snag a few swarms off the Frank compound to thin his herd a little so the rest of us will have a chance in this contest .
If it has begun then I am still in with 6 hives, very heavy with winter stores and sassy to boot
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
I'm looking for a yard in Belpre, OH.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Lauri, just have to say that is a nice bull! And with archery gear to boot!

This is the last day before we start. If you want to change your hive count, let us know by the end of today. Good wintering everyone!
I have one nuc having a hard time getting queen right, one hive superseding, & another I'll probably have to feed.
Guess I'll stick with 7, & see what happens.
Couldn't get to the computer yesterday. I'm starting with 3 hives. No treatment.
4 hives treatment free.
Greg Barnett
I'm in with 23 hives.
3 hives (one has a virgin queen, my strongest has mites).
Sounds like I'll be evenly matched with Ollie :P

Sidney Crosby: 'I thought we deserved better'
|06.06.13 at 12:14 pm ET
At least the chances were there for Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in Game 3 Wednesday night.
And in the mind of the superstar, that's a starting point for trying to get back in an Eastern Conference final series they trail 3-0 heading into Game 4 Friday night at TD Garden.
"Unfortunately, we're kind of comparing Game 2, and we didn't give ourselves a chance, so we can't get that one back," Crosby said. "We gave that one to them so-to-speak. We did a lot better job tonight, but that doesn't guarantee anything. We do a lot of these same things, and I think we all trust and believe we can get this back to Pittsburgh.
"I think we responded pretty well. Unfortunately, that Game 2 nobody really liked the way that turned out, and what happened there. I thought we responded well and did everything we could have besides get that last one."
Crosby had three of Pittsburgh's 54 shots on the night and was a plus-1 for the night. He best scoring chance might have been a shot when he wasn't even facing the net.
Late in the first period, and with the Penguins down, 1-0, Crosby was spun around in front of Tuukka Rask and flipped a backhander on goal. The shot rang off the post as Rask was caught slightly out of position.
"I didn't' really know where the net was, but I heard it hit the post," Crosby said. "Obviously it was kind of a scrambled play but it would have been nice for it to go in."
Evgeni Malkin had 10 shots on goal but he and Crosby are still scoreless in the series through three games.
"I think if we play the same way we're going to get our chances," Crosby said. "I thought we generated more scoring chances than them, and I thought we deserved better.
"I think the whole game we felt really comfortable with our play. I think we felt like it was just a matter of time before we were going to get it. Unfortunately they didn't, and hung around, and got the one at the end."
The Bruins appeared on the ropes in the third period when they were outshot 14-4 and the Penguins were spending most of the time in the Boston end for the final five minutes.
Crosby was asked after the loss if frustration is building for he and his teammates.
"That's the playoffs," Crosby said. "That's how it works sometimes. Unfortunately, tonight I thought we deserved better, but they found a way to get that big one in overtime. We did a lot of good things."
Perhaps the most frustrating thing for Crosby and the Penguins is the fact they were given six power plays and the league's top-scoring team couldn't find a way to score on one of them.
"Goaltending really," Crosby said, tipping his hat to Tuukka Rask. "I think we're getting some good chances; we hit a couple of posts. I feel like if we go out there, and both team's power plays probably slipped a little bit in overtime. Guys are more tired, penalty kill gets more aggressive, and the puck is bouncing more. Those are big ones you want to put in, but I think both power plays probably weren't clicking on all cylinders there, but I think the goalie made some saves, and we generated some good chances.
"We did a lot of good things. Some big kills; our power play didn't score but it did generate some good chances. We just weren't able to get that second one, the one to win it.
"We stick with it. We can't get three wins with one game. We have to find a way to get back there and get back to that same level we had tonight, and hopefully capitalize on our chances. But I don't think there's too much we would change going into Game Four. If we can play the same game, and put those pucks in the net, then we can give ourselves a chance."
Crosby said his teammates still believe, even down three games.
"You just have to trust your game and know that when you absolutely need it the most, everyone is going to show up and bring it, and kind of let everything happen," Crosby said. "But I thought again we did a lot of good things and probably deserved better."

Body found in creek confirmed as missing teen
Rose Hammes went for a walk during Monday's flooding and never returned
Colorado Springs police confirmed Tuesday morning that a body found in a creek shortly after midnight is that of a missing teenager.
Rose Hammes, 17, went for a walk by herself around 3 p.m. Monday. When it started to rain heavily, she took shelter under a bridge near Maizeland Road and Academy Boulevard.
Her father, Roman Hammes, says Rose called home to check in and was offered a ride, but the teen decided to wait out the storm.
Later, when her parents were unable to make contact with, they notified police.
Shortly after midnight, a body was found in Sand Creek on Edison Avenue between Murray and Wooten. Officials said at the time that the description matched that of the missing teenager.
Several hours later, after an autopsy, it was confirmed that the body was that of Rose. Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma and drowning.

RE: st: How to compare coefficients from ols and quantile regressions
Wed, 28 Nov 2012 09:03:20 +0000
Many thanks, Austin, yes, we are interested in comparing the coefficients (based on the question whether the association between household emissions and hh characteristics differs for mean and high emissions). Many coefficients do in fact differ but we'd like to test whether they are significantly different. Since we are working with the same sample here I assume I can't just do it "by hand" using b1-b2/(se1^2+se2^2)^0.5 because we have to take covariance into account - thus I was wondering whether there is a way to test this in STATA but couldn't find out how.

Subject: Re: st: How to compare coefficients from ols and quantile regressions
JVerkuilen (Gmail) <email@example.com> and Buchs M. <firstname.lastname@example.com>:
I think the poster is interested in comparing dE(Y|X)/dX from OLS to dF_{.75}(Y|X)/dX from QR, i.e. coefs, not individual predictions.
The trouble is the discontinuous nature of QR, and the lack of scores and cluster-robust inference, which precludes use of -suest- and related models.
I don't know about consistency of the bootstrap for comparisons across effect on conditional means and conditional quantiles (calling
Stas...) but it is at least straightforward to implement:
sysuse auto, clear
g gpm=1/mpg
cap prog drop both
prog both, rclass
reg gpm weight
ret scalar ols=_b[weight]
qreg gpm weight, q(75)
ret scalar qr=_b[weight]
su gpm if e(sample), mean
assert r(N)==_N
eret clear
bs ols=r(ols) qr=r(qr):both
test _b[ols]=_b[qr]

Mt. Bachelor Downhill Bike Park Opens
So you've been mountain biking the extensive trail system in Bend for a while but there's something missing. The downhill runs of Funner and Tiddlywinks just aren't what you think they should be. If this describes you a new challenge just opened up.
The Mount Bachelor Downhill Park opened September 14th for those ready for its vertical extremes. Downhill Parks are not new but this is a first for Central Oregon. Opening with three runs for 2013 the system will be expanded for 2014 and beyond. Drive to Mount Bachelor, buy a lift ticket for you and your bike, and away you go. Nothing could be simpler. Any mountain bike can be used on the downhill runs, but the modern day, long travel, full suspension bikes are the best.
These bikes will give you a softer ride over the bumps and have powerful disc brakes to do the stopping when good sense overcomes speed. A variety of these types of bikes are available for day rentals from local bike shops. The mountain will be staffed with experienced people willing to help you with your new downhill adventure. Get ready for more fun in Central Oregon!
For more information call Hutch's Bicycles at 541-382-9253 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Kootenai Falls, Montana
Kootenai Falls is a spectacular set of falls and rapids on the Kootenai River in Montana (USA). The drop is nearly 27 meters (90 feet) in about 1.6 km (1 mi). A hydroelectric dam was proposed for the site but never built. It is a popular kayaking site. River discharge at the time of the photo was around 400 cubic meters per second.
The falls were used in the adventure movie "The River Wild" starring Meryl Steep and Kevin Bacon.

Hi, I'm a second year beekeeper. Last year I received several stings without incident. This year I have received three. The last of which caused some concern.
Whilst I was in the garden near my hives I took a hit in the bicep. About 15-30 minutes later I felt burning in my armpits, then groin, and then a little swelling around my lower lip. I went inside and took some Benadryl. When I looked at my body I had red raised hives extending down from my armpits to mid-chest. My groin had the same hives which extended around the front of my waistband. There was no change in tongue or throat. After a day the hives disappeared and the bicep swelled and the swelling went as far down as mid-forearm and has gone away today (about 3 days later).
I plan to ask my doc for an epi-pen and some Prednisone in case of incidents like this again, but I have a few questions.
Is this my destiny now? Does it mean that every time I'm stung I'll react this badly? Have others had this kind of reaction and then had lesser reactions, or no reactions later? Adrian

My wife and I will be staying at the Bird In Hand Family Inn from Thurs to Sat. Probably will spend most of the day Friday at the quilt show. She enjoys the shows and I get a chance to get pattern ideas for my barn quilts!
I'll be there on Friday to meet up with internet quilt pals, shopping and our Show & Tell that night at our motel, Country Living Inn on old Philly Pike. Cozy motel with indoor corridors, we tie our doors open and visit each other for quilt talk and catch up with a glass of wine. No breakfast but there is a 50's diner next door, last year the motel gave us a chit to use for breakfast. My arthritis keeps me from doing Wed to Sat morning stay like I've done with my friends for years. Zooks and Sauders are always on my list. I try to get to Piece by Piece Quilt Shop in Epharta too as a friend works there and we have a summer retreat at the shop. Going to try the Blue Bell shop and/or PA Fabric Outlet too.
Thanks for info about reserving early at Marriot for a good rate next year, might try as I've been skipping the show because it involves too much walking on hard surfaces, but staying there would be good as I could always go back to my room when I get tired.
You are being very considerate of your friend. As someone else who tires very easily, having the shortest distance to the shows is very important. I hope you all have a wonderful time.
We will be at Lancaster AQS!! Staying at the Doubletree by Hilton. I will be taking classes and hubby is working in the Oliso booth!!! I would so love to meet with anyone that is interested from this board!?? I know I don't post very often, always off to some show working or sewing in my room when I do get to stay home! Guess I really should post some pictures! Let me know if you are interested in meeting up! We are coming from Texas!!
I will be there also. Driving up from South Carolina with 4 friends. I didn't realize Goods was near Shady maple. I will look for it as we will most likely eat there. I hope the weather cooperates. I don't have a winter coat, just a jacket. We booked our rooms in Jan but Im not sure where they are. Close by the show I think.
For those who are interested, Good's flatfold fabrics are on sale this week for $1.99 per yard. And yes, they are located right next to Shady Maple Grocery and in front of the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. The Family Farm Fabrics store is located in Blue Ball, not Blue Bell, and will have a discount for Guild members with a membership card. Sauder's will stay open until 8 p.m. on Weds., Thurs., and Fri....only until 5 on Sat. In Goodville, on Rt. 23, there are the Goodville Fabric Outlet and Obie's. I was at Sauder's today (their quarterly sale ends tomorrow...Tuesday) and there were lots of out-of-towners there already. I'll be at the show on Friday...five of us are parking at the Lancaster Stadium and taking the shuttle to the show.
I can't make it for the quilt show, but my husband has to be in Allentown PA for business the weekend of May 4th, so we were thinking of extending our time (since it's a 9 hour drive for us to get there) and head to Lancaster area on the Monday for me to see the famous quilt area. Any advice on where to go and what to see would be appreciated. And if anyone knows how to get a private tour on an Amish farm (I know it's almost impossible to get that type of invite), I'd really like the opportunity to see how they do what they do up close.
This is quite late- just saw the post...
Days inn on Rte 501/Lititz Pike- cost 68-79 and if you mention AAA, you can get a room w/ a king bed for $68. if not for the one way streets, it will be a straight shot to the conference center- in downtown lancaster.
Getting ready to head off to Lancaster tomorrow to the AQS Quilt show. Live only 1-1/2 hrs from Lancaster and am looking forward to shopping at all the great quilt shops. Thanks to all for the great info. have been to several of the shops before, but haven't shopped there in many months due to illness. I'm signed up for several lectures, but have enough UFO's at home to last a lifetime. Trying to do at least a few a week, so didn't want to drag any more home with me. I'm new to this website and hope I will meet a lot of you along the way. I sew quilts, home dec, garments, do knitting, etc. I am in to a lot as you can see and wish I had more time to do more and had better health to do more, but I make up for lost time when I can.
By the way, not sure where the convention center is located in Lancaster, but GPS will tell me. Since I am not in the room much during quiltweek, I stay at the Red Roof Inn or a Comfort Inn. All I need is clean and neat and basic. Coming myself this time as hubby is staying home to babysit the puppie.

Its been an educational summer so far.
I reduced two hives by one super each because they weren't doing anything with the empty space.
All 5 hives have honey in various stages of being capped but they still feel light when I tip them up.
Goldenrod and a late honeysuckle are starting to bloom all around here and lots of pollen has been coming in for the last week or so.
They started building a small amount of comb again.
Am holding off on feeding for another couple weeks to see what they do with the Fall flow.
We placed our Nuc into a divided 10 frame deep yesterday.
I started feeding them and hope to expand them into a second deep.

Re: tomato recipe???
Which country are you in? It is likely that it's a recipe from the Jamie at Home series being shown in some countries. If it is then we have been asked not to post the recipes until the book is published. If you think it may be from one of his other series (naked chef or oliver's twist) then try to describe what was happening in the episode and someone should be able to post the recipe for you.

Re: tomato recipe???
Hi G&J, yes I was surprised too by how fast the price of toms is rising already in our area.
My cherry tomato vine is still bearing fruit, though it is ripening slower as the weather cools down...
But its not like they are out of season yet, esp. not in Brisbane.
And you dont need a garden to grow them either, my cherry toms are quite happy in an old styrofoam vegie box on my front stairs.

Tomatoes have been expensive here too. Just typical now that my tomato plants have finished! I have a few stray ones growing on a couple of shoots that have come up but I think thats it.

Actually I'm in Nepal writing this post. Together with a gruop of researchers lead by Austrian scientist Prof. Dr. Gerald Kastberger from Graz University we're examining the "Communication and defense behaviour of Asian Giant Honeybee Apis dorsata in Nepal". Gerald Kastberger published the documentary "The magic trees of Assam" about Giant Honeybees in India, he's a well known specialist of Apis dorsata and their behaviour.
It's highly interesting to see these Giant Honeybees, their colonies on trees or watertanks, foraging behaviour and last but not least their defense behaviour.
They are very fast. You feel the sting until you see them coming to you... And they are able to attack their enemies by mass attacks.
Details can be seen here, most pages are available in english or will be translated soon.
Day by day, I will upload new picture galleries. Last week of our stay we will go to Annapurna Basecamp. It is said that the world's biggest bee, Apis laboriosa, builds their combs in this region on the rocks of Himalaya.
Greetings from Nepal

Walsh is President Emerita of Wellesley College and a thought leader in higher education
Friday, April 12, 2013
A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Walsh writes, speaks and consults on higher education and leadership. She will speak on Tuesday, April 30 at 7 p.m. in the Sherrill Library Room 350 on Lesley's Brattle Campus, 99 Brattle Street, Cambridge.
Her talk at Lesley will address the intersections of mindfulness and leadership in the context of higher education and the field of human services.
"Diana Chapman Walsh is one of the exemplary academic leaders of our time who challenges us to examine the life giving potency of trustworthy leadership and its role in higher education," said Dr. Catherine Koverola, Dean of Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences.
The Sonnabend Lecture honors the memory of Elsa Sonnabend, former Chair of the Lesley University Board of Trustees. The Sonnabend Lecture brings to Lesley's campus distinguished practitioners in the field of human services to work with Lesley's students and faculty and enrich the academic community.
This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please find more information and RSVP by clicking here.
Before assuming the Wellesley presidency, Walsh was Norman Professor and chair of Health and Social Behavior at the Harvard School of Public Health, and prior to that, she was a University Professor at Boston University.
During her tenure as twelfth President of Wellesley College, from 1993 to 2007, Walsh established a distinctive style of reflective leadership rooted in a network of resilient partnerships and anchored in the belief that trustworthy leadership starts from within.
Today, Walsh serves on the governing boards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Broad Institute, the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the Mind and Life Institute, as well as on national advisory boards. She was a director of the State Street Corporation (1999-2007) and is a trustee emerita of Amherst College, having served on the board from 1998-2010.

At Sea Smoke, we produce Pinot Noir grown exclusively on the south-facing hillsides of our estate vineyards. On summer evenings, the Santa Ynez River canyon funnels a cool maritime fog layer (sea "smoke") across our hillsides, slowing the ripening process and providing the extended maturation period essential to the development of top-quality Pinot Noir.
Our shallow clay soils are planted to French clones on vigor-reducing rootstocks, resulting in fewer grape clusters of intense flavor, and our artisinal approach to winemaking results in wines that are a reflection of the unique land on which they are grown.
We believe that Sea Smoke's rare geography and commitment to quality have produced wines of exceptional complexity and grace. We hope that you agree and welcome your comments. View all Sea Smoke Cellars Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

UTSA hosts Family Day at Downtown Campus
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Oct. 1, 2007)--The UTSA Office of Students Activities will host a free weekend event at the Downtown Campus to help graduate and evening students and their families get involved in campus life outside of the classroom. Family Day at the Downtown Campus is 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 6 at Bill Miller Plaza.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
"Many students taking graduate-level or evening classes at the Downtown Campus don't often get the opportunity to participate in campus life," said Michelle Montanio, assistant director of student activities at the Downtown Campus. "By creating a weekend event that includes the entire family, we hope to help students feel more connected to the UTSA community."
Family Day will have a carnival atmosphere where everything including the hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy are free. Families can have their pictures taken in the format of an old-time family portrait or on a giant inflatable chair. There will be crafts, games, prizes and interactive activities hosted by the Chemistry Club and kinesiology students.
Additionally, representatives from academic departments, UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures and other UTSA offices will provide information on university services.
For more information, call the Office of Student Activities at (210) 458-2816.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: MI/CBT
Motivational Intervention followed by Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Behavioral: Motivation Intervention, Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Comparison of 2 treatment combinations for assisting incarcerated teens with alcohol and marijuana use and associated problems. The two treatments being compared are, Motivational Intervention/Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relaxation Treatment/Substance Education Treatment.
Detailed Description:
Although substance abuse is a major problem among incarcerated teens, little is known about ways to effectively treat this population. Elucidation of effective therapies for reducing substance use among incarcerated teens is important for a number of reasons. For example, a number of empirical studies have demonstrated a strong relationship between substance use and a variety of delinquent and/or dangerous activities, including driving under the influence, perpetration or falling victim to violent crime, and engaging in risky sexual behavior, as well as increases in recidivism to illegal behavior. Unfortunately, substance abuse treatment frequently is unavailable to teens in the juvenile justice system, and when it is available, treatment often is provided in group format using untested interventions, or to teens that are unmotivated to change their behavior.
The objective of the present study is to investigate ways to enhance group therapy engagement and reduce substance use (specifically targeting alcohol and marijuana) and related behaviors (e.g., injury, sexual risk-taking, and illegal behavior) among juvenile offenders. Both Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have independently demonstrated success in reducing adolescent substance use in both incarcerated and non-incarcerated samples, thus a motivation and skills-based intervention such as the combination MI/CBT approach proposed here, might prove effective in attaining these goals.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|14 Years to 19 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Adolescents will be eligible if:
- in the year prior to incarceration they either a) drank alcohol or used marijuana at least once per month or b) binge-drank (> 5 for boys, > 4 for girls) during any two week period
- they drank or used marijuana in the four weeks before the offense for which they were incarcerated; or
- they used either substance in the four weeks before they were incarcerated. Special attention will be given to recruitment of girls and members of minority groups, with periodic reminders to social workers to alert participants in these groups and their families to our project.
Exclusion Criteria:
- They do not meet the above inclusion criteria or informed consent is not obtained from parent or guardian.

text: When I went to pick up my new packages, the oldtimer was very interested in the top bar idea. He pulled down an old frame from the wall and showed me what they used to look like, with no foundation. The top bar was a triangle, with no foundation in the frame. He said that was the way they used to do it. Bees just built out their comb from the triangle. It looks like that shape would be a lot easier to mill than the shape I made (see pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/dn4911) I know some of you are gluing in strips of wood. Just wondered if any of you pros had seen or were aware of the old fashioned frames like that. I might just try some for replacement bars and see how they do.

A unique type of off-road motorcycle riding that originated in Baja California, Mexico. The motorcyle rider completes a multi-day/long distance dirt bike ride, taking only a backpack ("Moto"- motorcycle, "Mochila"- backpack in Spanish, or "motorcyle backpacking") their motorcycle, while stopping/staying at different locations each night. Usually, all that is taken with the rider, other than his motorcyle, is money, toiletries, a change of clothes, a jacket and defintely a camera. The rider usually stays in a differnet Mexican town each night and completes a ride of up to 1000 miles over several days.
Did you here that Scott from the local off-road motorcyle club is organizing a "MotoMochila" ride this spring in Baja, Mexico. Are you planning on going?

Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for your support and diligent efforts in achieving a victory Tuesday for the Arkansas Higher Education Technology and Facility Improvement Act of 2005, also known as the higher education bond initiative.
As a result of the election, Pulaski Technical College will receive $6.25 million for much-needed capital improvements. Our projects will include construction of a new hangar/classroom complex at our Aviation Technology Center at the North Little Rock Airport and renovation of buildings on the North Little Rock campus for more classroom and science laboratory space.
We expect the legislature to appropriate funds for these projects in the spring, and we hope to begin construction and renovation as early as next fall.
Again, I want to thank and commend you for your outstanding efforts. We hope this will be the first of many funding victories for our college in the months and years to come.
My very best,
Pulaski Technical College

Reel York
Blossom Street,
13 people favorited this theater
Like Chester, the historic town of York proved problematic for Oscar Deutsch's Odeon Theatres Ltd. chain in 1937, when they wanted to open a cinema. The City Council insisted that it was to be located outside the city walls and that it did not look like an Odeon with typical faiance tiling. Accordingly Robert Bullivant, of the Harry Weedon architectural practice, came up with a more refined brick scheme – which still managed to look like an Odeon. It opened February 1, 1937 with Roland Young in "The Man Who Could Work Miracles".
Seating 1,484 in stalls and balcony levels it proved successful and in 1972 was tripled. This was not a standard scheme as at York the circle was extended forward to form a stadium style 820 seater – very attractively (original decor was retained). There were then two 111 seat minis under the former balcony.
In 1981, the Odeon was designated a Grade II Listed building by English Heritage.
Recent troubles began when Odeon Theatres wanted to re-brand the cinema with new signage, removing the original 'ODEON' signs from the Grade II Listed building. But the local Council insisted that everything should remain intact. This led to threats by Odeon Theatres to close down, despite good attendances. The reality of closure came on 31st August 2006.
In June 2007, the building was purchased by Reel Cinemas, who refurbished the cinema, restoring many original features. The cinema re-opened as the Reel Cinema on 19th June 2009, with a black tie gala and the appropriately named film "Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen" showing on the main 880 seat screen upstairs.
In early 2010, a 40-seat screen 4 was opened in former unused office space, and later in 2010, a 35-seat screen 5 opened in former retail space.

According to the York Evening Press, there are plans to create a fourth screen in the former Manager's flat and a restaurant in the former shop downstairs which means the large auditorium using the original Circle will be retained as one space which is good news. There are also plans to use screen 3 as a live performance space in November which is ironic considering Odeon never provided the venue with stage facilities.
Hi Tim
All seems good for the Odeon york at the moment ..Reel is a great company.. Kept my local (and favourite cinema) The ABC Newport Wales open beyond its years. Hope to visit the York "Odeon" again soon I last visited In 2002 so another visit is well overdue.
best wishes Tim … Martin
After opening screen 4 in unused space on the first floor, Mr Suri now plans to create a 5th screen in the former shop space on the ground floor. Although this will only seat 40, it will increase the viewing options and hopefully allow the continued operation of this cinema. The space had been previously been earmarked for conversion into an Indian restaurant and is subject to planning approval. ODEON bosses take note: you can adapt !!!!! rather than call it a day and walk away
Its also understood that further work in Screen 1 will include increasing legroom in the central area of the auditorium, this will be done sometime in the Autumn, the rolling restoration of this cinema will now take about 3 years instead of 2, due to the current financial situation. At least Mr Suri is putting his money where his mouth is. 10/10 so far
Apologies, screen 4 seats 40, the proposed capacity for Screen 5 has not been announced
Screen 5 has a capacity of 35. 3D equipment has now been installed in screen 1 and is due to be installed in screen 2
Screen 2 has been refurbished and digital 3D projection installed.

Thanks for posting the photos Ian and Trousercowboy.Very nice looking theatre.
The capacity given here cannot be correct. The main screen seats around 800, the two smaller cinemas beneath seat around 110 each while the little cinemas, 4 and 5, seat around 35/40 each so, I estimate, something less than 1,100 in total. 1,484 was the capacity given for the Odeon, York at opening and I can only assume someone has transferred this figure in error. A great deal has happened, internally, to this building since 1937 and the "complex" of today is world's away from the fondly remembered Odeon Theatre.

text: Does anyone use a pneumatic nailer or stapler to put frames together? I'm thinking about getting one. I need to know what kind to get, what nails or staples to use and an air setting that wont blow frames apart. I've got all the frames for hive bodies put together and they were a pain. I'd like to speed it up when I start making frames for supers, etc. Also if this is a bad idea I will just nail em with a hammer.

PlayBook: Checks and Balances
We've learned nothing from the fallout of the steroid era and the Ryan Braun appeal proves it.
Not so long ago we lined up as a half-assed mob looking for heads of supposed cheaters to hang. Our list was long; from Bonds to Clemens, McGwire and Sheffield, we wanted blood. Balco blood and for the boys to bleed. They'd tainted our books, the long-standing records now lined and starred with asterisks and exceptions. Some 762 home runs and almost two decades worth of numbers all but null and void.
It was a time of confusion; no one knew who to try or trust. Trials were conducted by a sort of Kafkan code, a backroom affair complete with all the free and wild finger-pointing one might expect from indicted heroes looking to bring down the house and everyone within an arm's reach of it. Canseco cried wolf and Clemens just cried. There was dirt in every direction and the bodies were piling up. We were at an impasse, to either absolve and ignore or indict and admit what we had known all along; that our Gods were cheaters and on the altar of Sabermetrics they would be sacrificed to the game, to save what was left of a sport ravished repeatedly by scandal and greed.
Then it was quiet. The towering shots of the early 2000s subsided and the numbers returned to normal. In the wake of all that happened, all the blood that had been shed, baseball emerged from under the cloud a relatively clean game or at least a shadow of its former steroid-ridden self. We settled back uneasily into our armchairs, moving slow so as not to further rock the boat that had just nearly been tipped. We'd survived the slaughter; the steroid era was behind us. The only thing that remained to do was to get back to baseball. The rest would only be a matter of putting in place the proper checks and balances.
Since then the Game of Shadows has changed. No longer do we publicly discuss The Cream and The Clear or Clomiphene and the cover-ups. Yet the puppet show continues on a PR level with ghostly allegations coming down from the powers that be. "Undisclosed substances," "unnamed sources" and libel of the highest degree. Players named and never charged with nothing ever said about it to either us or them. A mock transparency; a lot of bark and no bite. In short, an all-out Dog and Pony Show the HPAC and the Commissioner's Office are more than happy to host so long as no one stays too long or asks too many unseemly questions.
In the end, not a whole lot has changed since the dark days of baseball. Few lessons have been learned. Less players cheat or at least less get caught but the ones that do are often allowed back into the fold. The fix is still in; there is still money to be made in a name. Manny's suspension cut down by half, Ryan Braun allowed off scot-free. The message it sends is that no more examples will be made of the players that pay. Enough heroes have been offered up, enough money has been lost. We're back to putting meat in the seats. And we'll circle the wagons 'til the chickens come back home to roost. Checks and fucking balances be damned…
But that term of course has two meanings: one, the idiom we use to assure things have not gone awry and two, the banking nouns we might associate with matters of money. Today, with Braun walking free on a piss cup technicality we are concerned with both, an ethical matter in which we must decide which one we value more, the sanctity of a clean house enforced by an accountable, open system that works or a game of hired heroes governed by unequal laws and accountable to nothing.

Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am an attending physician on the Lymphoma Service in the Department of Medicine. I have had a large clinical practice for more than 30 years, which includes primarily patients with malignant lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and multiple myeloma. I have a longstanding clinical research interest in malignant lymphomas, and have authored more than 150 publications on this topic. I have conducted clinical trials in Hodgkin lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and HIV-associated lymphomas, as well as studies assessing quality of life and survivorship issues among people with lymphoma.
I chaired a national study of the treatment of patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma for the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), and will also be chairing a national trial for the same population of patients for CALGB in collaboration with two other National Cancer Institute-sponsored cancer clinical trials groups: the Southwest Oncology Group and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group. In other research projects, I am documenting and attempting to improve the outcome of long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. I am also directing multi-institutional clinical trials evaluating new treatments for elderly patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose disease relapsed after initial chemotherapy, and in patients with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.
I have served as a reviewer for many publications in the field of the malignant lymphomas and for a number of grant applications for the National Institutes of Health.

In the wake of the recent Anonymous hack of the US Sentencing Commission's website in support of Aaron Swartz, Pentagon chiefs have announced timely plans to beef up cybersecurity, assigning thousands of new personnel to the vital task of defending US computer networks.
The move comes just days after the latest embarrassment to US cyber defenses, when a bunch of Anonymous-linked script kiddies successfully infiltrated the Sentencing Commission's website, stealing files and humiliating authorities by transforming it into a game of asteroids.
#Operation Last Resort made many of us snigger – but it also highlights a very serious problem with government cyber defenses. If all it takes is a bunch of amateurs to cripple the government's websites, what kind of threat do professional, state-backed hackers pose to US security?
Clearly, the Pentagon has decided that the threat is a very serious one – serious enough that it has decided to bolster its cybersecurity manpower from 900 personnel to 4,900 over the next few years, according to the Washington Post.
The move was apparently made at the request of one Gen. Keith B. Alexander, Head of Cyber Command at the US Defense Department. The additional staff will be assigned to positions in a reorganized Pentagon cybersecurity team that will attempt to head off attacks at home, but also carry out offensive measures against foreign enemies, according to an unnamed defense official quoted by Reuters.
Officials have still to finalize plans regarding the overall structure of the new cybersecurity team at the Pentagon, but according to the Washington Post the expansion would cover both civilian and military staff within this unit. This will elevate the new force to a similar status as other defense departments.
Reuters adds that Pentagon officials are working closely with their counterparts at US Cyber Command, in order to create the optimal force structure that can successfully defend US interests in cyberspace.
These plans are timely not only in light of recent Anonymous activity. A more worrying threat was recently detected by the security firm Kaspersky, which identified a potent new malware dubbed "Red October" which had apparently infiltrated databases in embassies and nuclear installations in Europe and the US, stealing data and delivering it to unknown attackers.
