Date of Stay: September, 2016
Like everything in this area, it is expensive. We were given a site with 30 amp & water. No sewer but there is a dump station. They have some sites on the water & you can see the big bridge. You park on grass & it is fairly level. Site was large enough for our 41 ft 5th wheel & truck or so we thought until we came back from site seeing & discovered that a huge motor home had back up to our rig within inches of our bike rack. We had set up our DISH behind our rig & just to the side. It was now shooting right into the rear end side of the motorhome. What a bummer! It was difficult to put our bikes back on the rack due to space & having to straddle his tow bar. We didn't use the restrooms. There is a game room & tourist info. Shuttle picked us & our bikes up right at camp (for $52.00 for 2 ppl) & ferried us to Mackinac Island.
Date of Stay: September, 2016
Beware, we were not told that we would be sharing an electric pole with 4 others. They provide a pole that has 1 50 amp, 1 30 amp & 2 110. Better hope you are the 1st one there. When we called to book, we asked for the physical address. The young girl just kept telling me to "look it up". When we arrived, we were told it was a bit muddy & that someone just had to call a tow truck to pull them out of their site. Our site was very muddy too. You park on grass/dirt. It is fairly level. There are large pot holes in the roads. We didn't use the restroom or showers.?. Some campsites are on the water. It is a clean park. We will not return due to the electric issue.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Main drive is paved and other roads & sites are dirt. Sites are fairly level, pull through for big rigs. They have a restaurant for breakfast. It was average. Utilities worked fine except 30 amp didn't work at our site. No TV on antenna & Dish could not get through the trees. Wifi worked good but slow. Laundry is $2.25 to wash & .25 for 7 min dry. Park is 2.5 miles west of West Glacier & 14 miles east of Columbia Falls. Good location for visiting Glacier NP. Just way to much to pay for water, electric, sewer & a picnic table in my opinion. No discounts.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Typical RV park near major hwy. Fast, friendly & easy check in. 50 amp, big rig friendly. Pull in sites but they are really close together. RV next to us had awning out & we really could not swing wide enough so basically backed into site. Sites are gravel and on a terraced hill. They are fairly level front to back, not so much side to side. Utilities and Wifi worked very good. Laundry was $1.25 to wash & $1.00 to dry. Like so many of the RV parks up north, I feel they are too expensive but this park was much cheaper than major chain downtown.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Friendly staff, good cafe, WiFi worked great, all utilities worked great. Sites are tight. Central to lots of hiking trails, Custer St. Pk, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse etc. Every RV park in this area is expensive.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
$9.00 per night with Senior Card -- would certainly come back if ever in this area. We hiked several trails and biked in the park. Went over to the State park and saw juvenile Bald Eagles on 2 different days. Also went to Mushroom Rock state park. Sites are fairly level.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
This RV site met our needs. 50 amp, water, sewer, laundry. Very nice, friendly people. Easy check-in. They provided info for things to do. Sites are gravel/grass, level, some shade. This is not a "beautiful" park but I'd come back but doubt I will ever be in this area again.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
Very few sites with 50 amp & 2 of them were occupied with the locals parking their boats & trailers on them. Also ppl parking right in the road & can't get around. Called to complain but problem was still not resolved. Been here 2 wks & never saw a park ranger. Grass is tall. No sewer. Quiet park. Bathrooms were clean but toilets were running every time I went in.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Most importantly to note -- fill your tanks before you come to this park. There are water faucets at the bathrooms, but they are NOT threaded to allow you to fill with a garden hose. Road #69 is dirt. The south end is very, very steep & crooked. The camp host was very nice & helpful. Price reflects senior pass.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Nice park. Level paved sites. Three things to note- the faucets around the campground are NOT threaded. Why?? I do not know. You must fill your tanks up at the dump station prior to parking. Secondly, they did not take credit cards at the office. Thirdly, all legs on your RV must have wooden/plastic pads under them. It is quite a drive to the dam and other sight seeing, but we would still come back here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
First thing - warning about the untrimmed trees if you value your paint job. We have full body paint & got scratches on both sides from 1 end to the other. Many people live here on the same rate for yrs at a time. They don't take reservations, so call ahead. Paved sites, but can have big drop offs on the sides. Very pretty lake. Close to shopping & interstate. They won't tell you this but if you pay for 6 days, they give 7th free.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
PA not accepted in summer. Nice level gravel sites. Full hookups. Three miles from the volcano. Family run. Kids help run the place & are the most respectful hard working kids that I've ever seen. We stayed 2 nights & would come back.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
This is a simple RV park with sewer, water, wifi & electric. They have 1 toilet & 1 shower combo. There is one washer & 1 dryer. Rhonda the camp host was very nice & helpful. We paid the monthly rate but only stayed 20 days. They would not accept a credit card for payment, we had to pay cash, but they did insist on a credit card & an extra $50 charge in case we went "over" on electric. Rhonda said they would issue a credit if we did not go over on the electric. After we backed in & began hooking up we discovered that we would be "sharing" an electric meter with neighbors. After much questioning, we were told that they were "permanents" and "never went over". Needless to say, we were never refunded any of the $50.00. The Wifi, electricity, & water were fine. We had to share the sewer hole with the neighbor, who kept his hose attached all the time. We had to let him know each time we needed to dump & remove his hose from the hole. There is a truck depot/warehouse right beside the park. Trucks come & go, disconnect/reconnect ALL the time. Sorry, but no, we would not stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
They have thought of everything here. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, laundry, etc. We loved it because it is so close to Little River Canyon and several other sites. Owners friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Girl that checked us in was not friendly or helpful but the park is really nice. We used the washer & dryers-$1.50 each. Swim beach is nice. We would stay here again. Rate is the senior rate.

Trading Roles: Gender, Ethnicity, and the Urban Economy in Colonial Potosí
€ 95,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Mai 2005
BeschreibungA social history of trade in a colonial city in Peru, arguing that markets, stores, and taverns were important sites of cultural creation and showing how the gender and ethnic identities of participants affected how they adapted to the market economy.
PortraitJane E. Mangan is Assistant Professor of History at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. She is the editor of "Natural and Moral History of the Indies," by Jose de Acosta (also published by Duke University Press).
Pressestimmen"Trading Roles is a pioneering study. The mass of research Jane E. Mangan has put into the work is truly amazing. She makes the lives of the vast majority of the population of Potosi come alive."--Erick D. Langer, author of Economic Change and Rural Resistance in Southern Bolivia, 1880-1930 "Trading Roles is an unusually lively, detailed account of 'the underdogs' of a colonial Spanish American city. It draws attention not only to relatively invisible historical actors but to the rich texture of the deals and socially patterned expectations that brought them together."--Kathryn Burns, author of Colonial Habits: Convents and the Spiritual Economy of Cuzco, Peru "This intriguing work will be of interest to advanced students and specialists in Latin American trade and commerce, banking and credit, urbanization, and gender and ethnic studies. Recommended."--V.H. Cummins, Choice "A superb work of social and economic history and a major contribution to the field of colonial Latin America... Wonderful."--Jeremy Baskes, Business History Review "Mangan's book ... demonstrates postmodern sensibility without any postmodern silliness... It leaves the reader with a memorable view of the indigenous people of Potosi wrestling their lives from the opportunities they found."--Camilla Townsend, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History "In the historiography on colonial Potosi, Mangan's work is distinctive for its concentration on the grassroots of daily market activities and mundane business dealings... The great strength of Mangan's book is that she brings to life the world of the common vendors, artisans, merchants, and suppliers that made a great colonial city work."--Timothy E. Anna, Colonial Latin American Historical Review "This is a highly readable, well-argued study appropriate for courses on the urban economy as well as gender history... It does offer an inclusive and fresh approach to understanding how women and men of all ethnic groups came to create a colonial world in Potosi."--Karen B. Graubart, Hispanic American Historical Review "Mangan's look at non-elite participation in Potosi's economy is a contribution to our understanding of adaptation and negotiation in the face of an expanding colonial economic system." --Cynthia E. Milton, Canadian Journal of Latin American and the Caribbean "Mangan's writing is skilful with keen turns of phrases as she evokes the sights and the smells of the Andean market. Firmly ethno-historical, Mangan's book is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students alike, who can experience the complexity of southern Andean colonial society without the overwhelming barrage of specific terms, names, and cultural concepts."--Rachel Sarah O'Toole, Itinerario "Mangan makes a unique contribution by telling the local tale... Mangan did the work and brings excitement to the narrative. The data is supported by attractive and effective maps, prints, and appendices. The writing is scholarly, agile, and even fun as Mangan follows the lives of Spanish, Criollo, Indigenous and African men and women in their economic pursuits."--James J. Harrington, Canadian Journal of History "A fascinating and detailed case study based on important and original research... Trading Roles makes a significant and thoughtful contribution to our understanding of specific networks of exchange, credit, and interaction in colonial Peru."--Caroline Dodds, Sixteenth Century Journal

Resources available to help in exchange enrollment
Parties seeking to enroll in federally subsidized health insurance exchange plans with the aid of a professional can enroll through Health Care Guides, Certified Application Counselors, insurance brokers and directly through exchange plan carriers.
Certified guides and brokers can be found by visiting bewellnm.com/were-here-to-help.
Exchange carriers for New Mexico include Molina Healthcare, Presbyterian Health Plan, Lovelace Health [auth] System, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico and New Mexico Health Connections. Those who enroll in plans directly through carriers receive exchange subsidies at the end of the fiscal year, should they qualify.
Enrolling without professional guidance is also an option. New Mexicans can access the individual and small business exchanges at BeWellNM.com (English). SeguroQueSiNM.com (Spanish) also offers access to the individual exchange.
BeWellNM offers plan comparisons and a subsidy calculator at bewellnm.com/estimate-your-savings.
The toll-free help line of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange is 1-855-99-NMHIX.
Most United States residents must be enrolled in health plans by March 31 to avoid paying a penalty fine to the Internal Revenue Service. Those already enrolled in insurance do not need to change plans unless their plans are set to expire and cannot be renewed. Plans need not be purchased from the exchange, but only exchange plans are subsidized. Under the Affordable Care Act, many are newly eligible for government sponsored insurance through Medicaid.

Reviews of New Releases
from Chandos, Linn, BCCD, Telarc and 3 from
Majestic Andrew Lloyd Weber, Symphonic Variations. Performers: London Pops Orchestra. London Festival Orchestra. London West End Singers. BCCD 237-1
We all recognize that much of Weber's compositions are at least loosely connected with classical music or classical settings such as the opera house setting in "Phantom of the Opera". So there is quite a bit of potential interest in arrangements of his music that might be even closer to 'real classical' music and so on. The first selection on this interesting recording does not seem to follow that thinking, though your kids, or is it grandkids, probably will get a kick out of it. Something like an oboe pairing up beautifully with a bassoon worked into the arrangement that gives a unique newness that pops up in many places is much more common here. If you like Weber and classical music, chances are you will love this unique release. I truly get a real kick out of it. There is a chance of more to come as there is a large colorful numeral one on the covers. For the most part, the arrangements are respecting Weber's music and just showing what else can be done with it. Give it a try and hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised. If not available from your usual sources, contact Brentwood Communications, the BC of the release's number.
Performances are fine and so is the slightly overblown audio quality. Enjoy it for what it is; I did.
Joseph Suk, Prague. A Summer's Tale. Orchestra: BBC Symphony. Conductor: Jiri Belohlavek. Chandos Multi-ch SACD hybrid CHSA 5109
Perhaps you have not run into the name Joseph Suk recently in the music world. If you do, check to see if it is the fairly well known grandfather as above, Dvorak's son in law, or the famous grandson violinist of the same name. The violinist Suk was also well known as one third of the very famous musical trio with Katchen and Starker. Not seemingly very prolific, Suk is perhaps best known for his symphonic poems, two of his best known are on the fine release. 'A summer's Tale' is almost an hour long. Though Liszt and Richard Strauss are well known for their Symphonic poems and many other selections, I hear
little reminding me of either of them here. This recording, as with many if not most SACD recordings, offers excellent audio quality as is usual for Chandos recordings. As typical, the recording is playable on any good CD player though not with quite the superb quality of the SACD layer and of course missing the SACD's, multichannel surround sound. Here is that 'new' recording of an unknown, to many listeners, composer. I do not know of any better selections to recommend by Suk. Both selections here are scored for large orchestra, and very well recorded. In addition to the excellent audio quality the orchestral performance is quite excellent as far as I can tell, not being familiar with this composition. It may not join with other favorite recordings of mine; it is too soon to decide that. I am always ready to recommend a well recorded composition of music new to me and that accurately describes this release as I find it to be quite listenable on repeated sessions.
Beethoven. Piano Sonatas. No.30, Op.109. No.31, Op.110. No.32, Op.111. Pianist: Mari Kodama. PentaTone Multichannel Hybrid SACD 5186389
Some months ago I reviewed Kodama's fine performances of Beethoven's much earlier piano sonatas, namely Op.10 Nos. 1,2and 3. Kodama handled those early works easily, letting the melodic passages breathe fully with a nice touch. I skipped an in between group knowing these later releases were scheduled to come later, like right now. These miniature masterpieces are given full due and loving care here. Playing well into the keys, Mari's approach lets Beethoven's inspired compositions have their full due revealing both power and majesty in my opinion. Recorded just over a year after the earlier group I mentioned, the playing and acoustical balances are once again "spot on" and not to be faulted with this later group by the now acclaimed master Ludwig Beethoven. Much more difficult to perform, Mari Kodama is fully up to the task. True lovers of great piano music, all have their favorite performers and Kodama will now be a part of that group while enjoying better audio quality than many of the others, particularly with the SACD layer of this disc played on a good SACD player for maximum quality. The regular CD layer played on one of the really good players is no slouch either just lacking that final bit of live detail offered by the best of SACD reproduction at this time. Oh yes, a top recommendation is easily awarded here and now.
Anton Bruckner. Symphony No.1. Orchestra: de la Suisse Romande. Conductor: Marek Janowski. PentaTone Multichannel Hybrid SACD PTC 5186447
It seems like a very long time since I have received a recording of this well known group. Many years ago they were seemingly competing on the London/English Decca label for "best sound quality" with a few other orchestras on the Mercury and RCA labels. For some reason many USA audiophiles and collectors had trouble believing they were as good as the other two and that the ones bearing the London Labels were usually the equal of the English Decca label. The reason for the label problems was because there was a U.S. Decca label preventing importing the UK's Decca label to the U.S.A. Going through my collection of LPs getting ready for selling, the first one I came across with the Suisse Romande Orchestra was conducted by Argenta. The next one featured Ernest Ansermet; I was checking the spelling. I tried to not let my finding an old favorite orchestra not influence my decision that its performance was simply quite excellent as led now by Marek Janowski. For the past few years the Bruckner symphonies I've received for review, all have been No. four or higher and generally regarded as the better ones. That is seemingly true but this recording of his first symphony was simply very good listening. I listened three times and was always aware of a continuing forward thrust even in the slower Adagio movement. I am very impressed with this new release with the fine orchestral playing and the excellent sound quality. Perhaps the best "new orchestral recording" of the past few months and probably a surprise to long time classical listeners. A very nice surprise and an easy recommendation to all except perhaps those new to classical music.
Jan Dismas Zelenka. Sonatas. Ensemble: Marsyas. Baroque Violinist: Monica Huggett. Linn Records CKD 415
You have probably never heard of the composer Jan Zelenka though he should have become a bit more visible than now. He was into sacred music for the church and three mass settings had been finished though his desire to compose a large scale project with a cycle of six masses was never completed. This rather new ensemble did not list a director and of course from time to time there had to be someone doing that job and so I nominate Monica Huggert because she has had experience in similar situations.
Her instrument, the baroque violin has a more mellow tone partly because of its gut strings. This release is a bit of a real gem with a particularly naturally sounding three dimensional quality much of the time plus a great amount of realistic detail. Yes, some of that detail is coming from my beginning usage of the famous "Stillpoints" resonance dampers, though here I feel certain that much has been carefully caught by the audio recording engineer. The realism and dimensionality with this fine Linn release should not be missed. It is also delightful music featuring a pair of oboes, single bassoon, harpsichord or organ and either theorbo or the violone for the bass, yes instruments from the past. This is a highly recommended release.
Elgar. Cello Concerto. Cellist: Zuill Bailey. Smetana (excerpts) Ma Vlast. Orchestra: Indianapolis Symphony. Conductor: Krzystoff Urbanski. Telarc CD TEL 34030-02
Zuill Bailey's outstanding work for Telarc and his efforts for various orchestras such as the Indianapolis as heard on this excellent release, is a main reason for the lively comeback of Telarc recordings. Not widely known perhaps is their effort and release of the Dvorak Cello concerto as well as winning the " Gramophone's Editor's Choice Award" with the release of Dvorak's Cello concerto. All this may happen again with this recording. This relatively close-up recording perspective is picking up everything. All of that is extremely good as heard by us listeners. This piece is the very last finished by Sir Richard Elgar and here is caught the extremes of drama and subtlety with this great composition.
Also on this release are major portions of Smetana's deservedly famous "MaVlast". It is a collection of six tone poems, three included here and seemingly the most popular one is the impressionistic river, "The Moldau". That rather complete impression should be heard by all. Further thought suggests that should be true of this entire release with fine playing, equally fine recorded audio quality and highly recommended.

Cheese and Biscuits - 6/10
Monday, October 18, 2010 - With reassuring mediocrity, the mixed grill arrived. Actually perhaps that's unfair - some of it was pretty good, particularly the lamb chops which were nicely charred on the outside and almost sausagey in texture inside, and the prawns were also well timed, the flesh having moisture and bounce if not being particularly strongly spiced. But chicken tikka pieces were watery (literally - I don't know where all that liquid was coming from) and bland despite the skilful grilling, and seekh kebabs were similarly dull.

Three construction companies are in trouble with the federal government after they allegedly failed to build what they had promised to the state.
The headwalls, endwalls and catch basins designed for drainage beneath and alongside many busy Tennessee roads were paid for by tax dollars, but may not be built up to code.
The Department of Justice says three companies: Sherman Dixie Concrete Industries, Hanson Building Products and Oldcastle Precast, Inc., signed off on projects that weren't built to specification.
Their walls and basins didn't have enough rebar, and some of the rebar wasn't put in the right place, the justice department claims.
The companies recently settled the case, and a Justice Department spokesperson said the investigation sends "a strong message to those who would seek to substitute inferior products in transportation-related projects."
"We did not intentionally try to short-change anyone. We made mistakes and decided to remedy this matter in the only way we could," said Sherman Dixie president Pete Delay.
So what about your safety on the roads? Engineers with the federal and state transportation departments, along with representatives for one of the accused companies, said the roads are safe for vehicles.
In fact, they plan to leave the ones that were built incorrectly exactly the way they are. We're told the specifications are designed to be overly safe, and the amount of missing or misplaced rebar is negligible.
"The products we're talking about are still in use, and will serve their intended purpose for as long as they are designed to last," Delay said.
The result of the settlements with those three companies means the federal government will recoup $1.259 million.
The construction projects are scattered all across the state, and there could even be some officials don't know about yet.
"I don't think there's a pervasive practice where anybody is intentionally trying to profit at the expense of taxpayers," Delay said.

Missoula daycare that lost license is closed
MISSOULA COUNTY - A Missoula daycare that lost its license after allegations that a 4-year-old boy was left alone in the center's van for two hours has closed.
An official from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services was at the Missoula day care on Wednesday to confirm the closure.
The state revoked Tot Town's license, effective Tuesday, after an investigation found the boy was left in the van while other children attended a movie on July 19. The investigation found temperatures in the van likely reached 110 degrees.
Three Tot Town workers, including director Melanie Hoke, have pleaded not guilty to negligent child endangerment. Hoke has said she plans to contest the loss of the license, but a hearing has not been set.

Why mess with run-of-the-mill ingredients in your skincare products, when you know you deserve the power of an evolutionarily advanced superfruit on your side? eshu, an Australian brand, calls upon the powers of the indigenous Quandong fruit to give you an extra soothing shave. This latherless gel cuts out all of the mess of foaming agents and keeps your shave as simple and clean as its handsome military-style canister.
Prior to trying this i'd been using the Proraso and shave brush method, which i enjoyed. I tried this and was weary cause there wasn't much foam or lather. But this actually helped, because i could see where i needed to shave and the wasn't much to wash off my razor. The blades glide too. Not one nick while i've used this.4
I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a full sized sample of this product! It arrived just in time right as my regular shave gel ran out. It smells good and has all those good ingredients that are supposed to by good for my skin in the long run. One of the more appreciated products I have received yet.4
I've never had better shaves than with this gel. It's not exactly accurate to call it a gel, it's more like an oil. Regardless, you could call it sand for all I care, the razor just seems to glide over my skin and leaves no irritation. Also, it doesn't take much to shave with it.5
I love this stuff, I actually bought a bigger size after my sample ran out. The smell is subtle, lightly foams so you can see what you're shaving, and doesn't leave a residue. Leaves my face feeling very smooth. Gives me the best shave I have ever had. It doesn't gunk up in your razor either. It actually helps the razor glide across the skin with ease. I could so on about this product forever!5
This schtuff is awesome. After years and years of dry shaving with hot water (partially for convenience, partially because other gels & creams make my face oily), I can't imagine felling my face forest with anything other than eshu Save Gel. My blades slides nicely over this lightweight gel, and the diluted consistency makes for easy cleanup. Should you try eshu? Yeshu should.5

On Wednesday, the former athlete appeared on Access Hollywood Live , where she reflected back on the scandal that rocked her life. Here's what she had to say:
On why she kept quiet after learning about the scheme, masterminded by ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, to assault Kerrigan : "He said, 'You will do what I say or I will kill you.'... You got 10 witnesses and the police standing right there and he's like, 'I'm gonna kill you or I'm gonna break your legs' [and] nobody helps you? Why do you want to help if you can't get any protection?"
WATCH: Tonya Harding Reflects On Her Figure Skating Scandal 20 Years Later
On her claim from her 2008 book, "The Tonya Tapes," where alleges that ex-husband Gillooly and two other men raped her because she came forward : "My woman's virtue was gone after that point."
(Gillooly, who has changed his name to Jeff Stone, denies Harding's allegations.)
On whether it bothers her that people think she knew about the scheme prior to it happening : "I don't care. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, it was 20 years ago. We both have gone our separate ways. Get over it, okay? Its 20 years. I'm sure that she's done and I am too."
On whether a note with her handwriting and the location of Kerrigan's practice rink linked her to the incident : "If they proved that I had done something wrong, how come I wasn't in jail? They gave me 500 hours of community service. They sure nailed everybody else for doing things."
WATCH: Tonya Harding On Why She Didn't Immediately Implicate Jeff Gillooly 20 Years Ago: 'I Was Scared For My Life'
On what she's doing with her life now : "I'm married and I have a son... I wasn't supposed to have children, so my son is my miracle... I love being a mommy and I like to do landscaping in the summertime, and then I kind of do these fire starters where I dip pinecones in scented wax."

AU JARDIN DES TUILERIES On our last day in Paris I felt the need to wear something really special, feminin, delicate and yet original. I must admit that fashion week has got a very addictive and overwhelming rythm, even if everybody complains because let's say that there's no cab, not a second to eat or to even rest, and the feet hurt so bad… But there is such a magic floating around this whole atmosphere which I believe is unique. So yes, everybody might be tired but it happens twice a year and you better enjoy every single second of it which James and I absolutely did. It is amazing to see all these people in their gorgeous clothes, it isn't only about the actual shows, it's about the street shows : it's like looking at a real runway while hanging out at Jardin des Tuileries. The spot where every fashionista meets.
I didn't take a lot of clothing with me to Paris, which I undeniably did for New York or Milan : my lagguages were so heavy, it was crazy. In Paris I took only the essential, my big crushes of the moment and this pink pastel dress is definitely among them. Dima Ayad's dresses are unbelievably gorgeous, I wore one to New York Fashion Week as you might have seen it in my previous posts, and obviously decided to wear another one for Paris. She is an incredibly talented designer from Dubai, the land of dreams, and her dresses are so romantic, feminin, yet they have such a powerfull touch : very modern and chic.

I have two new hives that I started from packages. So far, so good. I am using all starter strips in brand new boxes. I have been feeding sugar syrup and I was wondering that if I want them to continue building out all those foundation strips, should I have sugar syrup available to them for the entire summer? Or is it ok that once they fully build out the boxes I am going to use for brood rearing, at that point take away the sugar syrup and just let them collect their own nectar and work at their own pace for the supers?
Many thanks!

A search is under way for a 2-year-old boy in northern Arizona after his mother reported him missing Monday night.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says the search east of Prescott for Emmitt Trapp, of Dewey-Humboldt, expanded overnight and included air searches by the Department of Public Safety.
The search effort continued Tuesday afternoon with additional teams in the area.
Authorities say there is no evidence of foul play, and the sheriff's office says there is no known association between this incident and the case of missing 2-year-old Sylar Newton.
Sylar was last seen the night of July 24 at the Beaver Creek Campground near Rimrock, where he was camping with his custodial mother and her family.

By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
You can learn a lot about the children you sponsor through the exchange of letters. For Bernadeta Milewski's family, their sponsored child Hermie is like a second daughter, despite more than 8,000 miles between them.
After four years of sponsorship, Bernadeta, her husband, Evan, and 6-year-old daughter Nadia traveled in May from Connecticut to see Hermie and her family in San Joaquin, Philippines. It was a dream come true for everyone, Bernadeta says. "When we saw each other for the first time, there were no words, just long hugs. Tight hugs," she says. "So much affection. In my wildest dreams, I didn't know it could be so amazing."
The Milewskis were there for a couple of reasons — mainly to see 12-year-old Hermie, but also to assist her family, whose home is vulnerable to flooding. Fortunately, San Joaquin did not experience much damage from Super Typhoon Haiyan last November, but Hermie's home is near water and has suffered harm in other storms. Sponsors typically don't see their sponsored children's homes, but the Milewskis were permitted to do so to assess the best way of helping, whether it was renovating the existing home or purchasing property elsewhere.
Ultimately, after thorough discussion with Hermie's family and local staff, they decided to build a new home; they also purchased a fishing boat for Hermie's father. Hermie, her mother and siblings depend on his income — often $2 to $4 a day — for their day-to-day needs. The new boat will improve their situation tremendously as it will increase their earnings significantly. "Our plan was to assist Hermie's family with their living arrangements so that they could have a safe place during typhoons," says Bernadeta, "but when we learned that Hermie's father had been working for someone else for over 20 years and therefore making very little money, we quickly decided to help with the purchase of the fishing boat as well."
The Milewskis sponsor three children through ChildFund; although they have relationships with all of their sponsored children, Hermie was always very special to them, Bernadeta says. Early on, "she was calling us Mommy and Daddy and telling us that she was dreaming of meeting us. We knew we would do everything to make her dream come true. We really love the whole family there. During our two-day visit, there was no awkward moment. We were really kind of reunited."
Writing letters is very important to the sponsor-child relationship, Bernadeta emphasizes. During the trip, she met other children enrolled in ChildFund-supported programs who hunger for communication and encouragement from their sponsors due to a lack of correspondence. She promised that she would let other sponsors know how much the sponsored children look forward to receiving letters and establishing a relationship with their sponsors.
"They would love to get letters from sponsors," Bernadeta says. "It's very important to remind people that it's not just about the monetary donations. Letters are extremely important. As sponsors, we can tell the children about things they do not know even exist. We can motivate them, encourage them and offer praise. Through letters, they learn about other kinds of opportunities — opportunities their own parents for the most part are not aware of."
For instance, Hermie's parents had never been to the main city in their province, Iloilo, until the Milewskis' visit. "For Hermie, we hope life has more in store, and we want to make sure that she has big dreams," Bernadeta says. Sponsors don't take the place of parents, but they often provide a new perspective for children, giving them hope for the future.
"When you become a sponsor, you sign up for some sort of relationship," Bernadeta says. "If they can feel that someone cares about them, that gives them confidence that they're really lacking."
Bernadeta acknowledges that writing to your sponsored child may seem difficult at first and gave some tips to other sponsors:
"I always introduce myself, tell the child who we are and why we sponsor. I am always very positive and ask lots of questions as this opens up a dialogue. I ask what the child likes doing, what holidays he or she celebrates, what their favorite subject is. I always stress how important it is for them to study and encourage them to do their best. We include stickers, postcards, bookmarks, balloons, coloring pages and photos we take during our vacations and on special occasions. As sponsors, we have a very important role in their life. We can provide something different than their immediate families do."
After the Milewskis' return home, they received a letter from Hermie. She wrote, "I will give my best to attain my dreams in life to help my family to combat poverty. I will follow you to help the poor so I will not disappoint you, and I will not waste your dreams on me."
For more tips about writing letters and developing a friendship with your sponsored child, visit ChildFund's website.
Fantastic writing ( and message). Change is possible, one at a time.
I enjoyed reading of your experience. I am an Amerian living in Istanbul. I am going to visit a friend in Viet Nam next year and thought I would use the opportunity to hop over to Manila and visit a child I sponsor. I am in contact with CF about the trip and would appreciate any advice. You seem like very nice people. Thanks again for the article. Regards
Hi Mark! Thank you for your kind words. I think it would be a great idea to visit your sponsored child in the Philippines if you are going to travel to the general area. The National Office will help you organize everything – they were excellent! You get their e-mail address once your visit is approved. We were even able to use ChildFund corporate rates at hotels, which was very nice. Also we were provided with itemized expenses we would have depending on the option chosen – meeting in Manila or in the child's community. I would suggest meeting in the child's community as you get to see the local office and learn more about the program. If you have more time, I strongly suggest doing some sightseeing. We went to Boracay for 5 days and loved it a lot. The trip itself was planned using TripAdvisor and everything went really well. If you have more questions, please let ChildFund know and I would be happy to help you – they have my e-mail address and can contact me. Good luck and I will keep my fingers crossed!

Etmopterus granulosus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Etmopterus granulosus
|Species Authority:
|(Günther, 1880)
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Kyne, P.M. & Lamilla, J.M.
|Acuna, E. & Valenti, S.V. (Shark Red list Authority)
This deepwater lanternshark is endemic to South America where it occurs on the outermost shelf and upper slope off southern Argentina, southern Chile (including the Strait of Magellan and the Juan Fernandez Seamounts) and the Falkland Islands. The species is recorded from depths of 220 to 637 m and therefore from a relatively restricted band of available habitat. Like other lanternsharks, this species is poorly-known with little information available on the species' biology or ecology, although it is known to reach 76 cm total length. This species is taken in minor amounts as bycatch in small-scale artisanal deepwater longline fisheries off Valdivia (Chile), in the Chilean deep sea shrimp fishery and in the orange roughy trawl fishery on the Juan Fernandez Seamounts. However, in general, fishing pressure is minimal across the distribution and depth range of the species and it is thus assessed as Least Concern. Any future expansion of deepwater fisheries in the area should be closely-monitored, particularly given the relatively restricted habitat of the species.
|Range Description:
|Endemic to southern South America off Argentina and Chile. Given its slope occurrence, its available habitat and hence range is relatively restricted.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Argentina; Chile; Falkland Islands (Malvinas)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Atlantic – southwest; Pacific – southeast
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The species is recorded in the Strait of Magellan and thus appears to have a continuous distribution between the Southwest Atlantic and the Southeast Pacific, pointing to the existence of a single population between these regions.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Occupies the outermost continental shelf and upper slope at depths of 220 to 637 m. Nothing known of the ecology or biology or the species apart from its size at birth (18 cm TL) and minimum size of male maturity (41 cm TL) (Lamilla 2003). Presumably aplacental viviparous (Compagno et al. 2005).
|Major Threat(s):
This species is taken in minor amounts as bycatch in small-scale artisanal deepwater longline fisheries off Valdivia, Chile, which target pink cusk-eel Genypterus blacodes (Lamilla 2003), in the Chilean deep sea shrimp fishery, which operates down to depths of 500 m (Acuña and Villaroel 2002), and in the orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus industrial benthic trawl fishery on the Juan Fernandez Seamounts (33 to 34°S and 77 to 78°W) at depths of 300 to 500 m (Lamilla unpub. data).
Other fisheries in the region generally operate outside the depth range of E. granulosus. The Patagonian red shrimp fishery fishes shallower than the species occurs (30 to 100 m: A. Pettovello pers. comm). Around the Falkland Islands, trawl fishing occurs in waters down to ~350 to 400 m, but generally less than 325 m, while longlining is restricted to depths greater than 600 m, with the majority occurring at depths greater than 800 m (J. Pompert pers. comm). The species has not been recorded as bycatch in observer programs on commercial vessels operating around the Falkland Islands (J. Pompert pers. comm).
|Conservation Actions:
|None in place. Any future expansion of deepwater fisheries in the area should be closely-monitored.

(Received 23 November 2001 / Accepted 19 December 2001 )
Based on spectra obtained at the Anglo-Australian Observatory, we present a discussion of the metallicity of the galactic disc derived using Cepheids at galactocentric distances of 4-6 kpc. Our new results together with previous gradient determination (Paper I) show that the overall abundance distribution within the galactocentric distances 4-11 kpc cannot be represented by a single gradient value. The distribution is more likely bimodal: it is flatter in the solar neighbourhood with a small gradient, and steepens towards the galactic center. The steepening begins at a distance of about 6.6 kpc.
Key words: stars: abundances -- stars: Cepheids -- Galaxy: abundances -- Galaxy: evolution

These community markets are morphing into more than just places to buy fresh local produce. They're becoming places to hang out, eat, drink, shop, and more. Ten years ago, there were around 80 farmers markets operating in all of Virginia. Today it's 3 times that. "Now we've got between 200 and 250. I say between 5: because the numbers keep changing, new markets are coming on." Mastering Chain Saws and Tractors: The Woman-Powered Farm By Sandy Hausman • May 29, 2015 One third of America's farmers are now over 65 years of age, creating an opportunity for younger people to enter the field, and some of the newcomers will - no doubt - be women. Already, 14% of U.S. farmers are female, among them a Gordonsville resident who has written a book designed to help others master the skills needed to work the land. When Audrey Levatino decided to grow cut flowers for Charlottesville's farmers market, herbs and specialty crops for local chefs, she wasn't sure what she was getting into. One friend warned it was something like becoming a mother. Farmers on Fencing By Sandy Hausman • May 19, 2015 For two years, the state of Virginia has been begging cattle farmers to keep animals out of streams on their property - offering to pay the full cost of fencing to prevent pollution of rivers and, ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. Irvin White raises cattle in Central Virginia - calling recently weaned calves to the feeding trough as part of his evening routine. From the beginning, he's seen good reason to fence his farms - to keep cows out of the streams where they like to drink and cool off when the weather turns warm. After all, those streams are loaded with bacteria. Down on the Farm: Discovering Local Food Sources By Sandy Hausman • May 18, 2015 A recent survey showed 28% of Virginians have a hard time getting fresh fruit and vegetables in their communities. What's more, half of kids said they would head for a fast food restaurant or convenience store if given $5 for food. To counter those problems, a group of teachers is taking Richmond kids to the farm, where they dance, sing and discover the wonders of compost. Sandy Hausman went along and has this report. Virginia's Solar Farm By Pamela D'Angelo • Apr 16, 2015 Virginia is juggling a host of contentious alternative energy proposals. An offshore wind farm, hydrofracking in a national forest and a 550-mile gas pipeline that cuts through the state. But there's one project on the Eastern Shore that has moved along quietly despite being the largest of its kind in the state. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 next › last »

Okay, so since I bought my car I've known of several important issues that needing fixing. The clutch, leaking top radiator hose, and drive belts that are getting old. The clutch has been replaced, and yesterday I replaced the top and bottom radiator hoses. This was quite the project (for me), and along with the exhaust change, the first work i've done on my wrx.
So I drained the radiator system and removed both of the hoses, and replaced them making sure there weren't any kinks and the clamps were secured tightly. I then mixed some subaru coolant as a 50/50 mix with some distilled water and topped off the radiator system. Put everything back in it's place and started the car. As the handbook says, let it idle for about 5 minutes around 2 to 3k rpm. Took it out for a short 5 minute drive, then came back parked it and everything seemed fine.
Drove it to work this morning, and about 5 miles into the drive I noticed the temperature guage had spiked and was maxed out on red. This was alarming, cause of the work I had done on the car the night before! gah. So I pulled over immediately and checked the oil and carefully felt the radiator. The oil was at it's normal level and nothing in the engine bay was unusually hot to the touch. At this point I was about to be late for work, so because the engine didn't seem to actually be overheating , I just limped the next 5 miles to work keeping my eye on the temp guage, which was just below max the whole way there. I checked the engine again once at work, and despite the frightfully high guage, everything seemed normal under the hood I did notice the coolant in the resevoir drop around 2 inches, from above the full line, to right at it. Im thinking there might have been some air in the engine causing the overheating, and that's where the extra coolant disappeared to? None of the hoses were leaking and both radiator caps were not extremely hot. I took one off after about 5 minutes, and some air came whooshing out.
I feel like the system just needs to get balanced, so I let the engine idle for a few minutes with one of the caps off, then eventually put it back on, I sat in the car and slowly revved it to about 4k a few times, and everytime I did the temp guage climbed almost as fast as the engine rpms did. This is the part that is really confusing to me, is the gauge misreading, or is some kink in the system causing this? Any thoughts at all would be helpful! Thanks

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Filled With 'Glee'
Gwyneth Paltrow, who is currently climbing the country charts with the single 'Country Strong,' is the latest famous face to hit the small screen on the wildly popular FOX comedy, 'Glee.'
In the episode titled 'The Substitute,' the Oscar-winning actress will play substitute teacher Holly Holiday who fills in for glee coach Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), while he is out sick. Rumor has it there may also be a romance between Holly and Will.
"I'm very excited," Gwyneth tells The Boot of her guest-starring 'Glee' role. "It was a great, great experience. I loved all the people. It was the most ridiculous character. I play this crazy substitute teacher, and it was great. I was so lucky to get that role."
She will perform two songs on the show — a blend of the classic 'Singing in the Rain' and Rihanna's 'Umbrella,' as well as a PG version of Cee-Lo's new hit 'F— You,' called 'Forget You.' (Watch the latter performance below.)
The 'Glee' episode featuring Gwyneth will air Tuesday, November 16 at 8:00 PM ET.
Gwyneth's film 'Country Strong' opens in theaters in Nashville and Los Angeles December 22, and nationwide January 7. In the movie, Gwyneth plays Kelly Canter, a troubled country superstar fresh out of rehab who is trying to make a career comeback. The actress sings four tunes on the movie's soundtrack, including a duet with co-star Tim McGraw, who plays her husband/manager in the film.
In addition to proving her country chops on the big and small screens, Gwyneth also received rave reviews for her live performance of 'Country Strong,' alongside Vince Gill, at last week's CMA Awards. So, all of her newfound music cred has the country world wondering if the blond beauty has ambitions to make a full country album. Well, don't hold your breath.
"I really loved doing this, and I discovered a whole side that I didn't really know that I had," Gwyneth tells The Boot. "It was an amazing process. I mean, I would never rule anything out, but my favorite part was getting to have Vince Gill sing with me. I love that sort of harmonizing. I think I'd rather sing backup with someone than put myself front and center."

The first thing to get out of the way is the title. Atom Age Vampire is the English title of this 1960 Italian horror picture, while the original Italian title is Seddok, l'erede di Satana. That translates into Seddok, Heir of Satan, which is only slightly more applicable and understandable than Atom Age Vampire. Both titles make sense and are referenced in the English dub of the picture, but neither title really does the movie justice.
Now, Atom Age Vampire (or whatever you want to call it) is an interesting film. It lays out a compelling premise, but fumbles in execution an awful lot. Part of that may be due to the terrible English dub job, but part of it may be due to the movie itself. Apparently the original Italian version is longer than the North American release, so that may account for some of the weirdness.
The film opens with Jeanette (Susanne Loret), a beautiful blonde dancer/singer/stripper breaking up with her boyfriend Pierre (Sergio Fantoni). He isn't happy with the fact that she takes off her clothes in front of strange men, which lends credence to the theory that she's a stripper. Distraught, she drives off and gets into a fiery crash. Jeanette is horribly disfigured as a result.
Enter Dr. Alberto Levin (Alberto Lupo), a somewhat mad professor. He has a treatment that he believes will cure her horrible scarring and restore her to her elegant self. It involves a chemical formula that he developed after studying radiation in Hiroshima. Jeanette takes the treatment and the professor falls in love with her, determined to do anything to keep her within reach.
This is a sordid tale of obsession and madness, with Dr. Levin going to extreme lengths to ensure that Jeanette stays with him. She doesn't want to, of course, and still pines for Pierre. This leads to some interesting complications when the good doctor takes a serum to turn himself into an unfeeling, grotesque mutant. He has to seek out victims to get their glands to make more of the serum that keeps Jeanette looking pretty, so it helps that he doesn't feel remorse.
The situation presents an interesting juxtaposition: the professor is making himself into a monster to keep the blonde hottie looking pretty. He feels that he is owed something for his sacrifice, while she's just plain terrified. The doctor believes that "the bad justifies the good" and tells his assistant Monique (Franca Parisi) that he'd kill a thousand people in order to keep Jeanette in his clutches.
Director Anton Giulio Majano puts forth some interesting concepts with Atom Age Vampire, but the sheer silliness of some sequences undercuts the overall vision. This is, as mentioned, partly the fault of the English voiceovers. In some scenes, the emotion put forth by the voice actors far exceeds the facial expressions and body language of the Italian actors.
Yet other moments, like the conversations between Dr. Levin and the wily police commissioner (Ivo Garrani) contain a certain genius as they venture through topics of morality and scientific responsibility. The police commissioner questions the professor carefully, revealing certain clues as he goes along that press to the bigger moral issues at hand.
At the same time, Atom Age Vampire veers down some melodramatic roads and into truly hammy territory. The actors come off like Italian soap stars at times and there are some inexplicable sequences, like Levin's digging of a tunnel before he needed to dig a tunnel, that suggest either a messy editing process or a sloppy approach to storytelling.
As scary movies go, you could do a lot worse than Majano's Atom Age Vampire. It's not a classic by any means, but there are some nice ethical discussions to be had about the nature of science and beauty. Levin's obsession is frightening in its boundless ambition and Loret is quite the looker, scars and all.

|Re: st: Dummy variables for pooled regressions
|Thu, 12 Jan 2006 07:05:47 -0000 (GMT)
Michael Blasnik replied to Yvonne Capstick: > The -egen group- suggestion will provide for fully interacted effects, but > I think that just the main effects are wanted (unless I am guessing wrong > about the somewhat hazy intention). The only way I know of doing this is > to allow areg or xtref, fe to absorb one of the variables and to add > dummies for the other (e.g., using xi). Like Michael, I too interpreted Yvonne to want two seperate fixed effects inserted into the -i()- option for her -xtreg, fe- model, which you can't have. Austin Nichols' rather neat suggestion > . egen g=group(state ind) > . areg y x, absorb(g) does what I should have figured out: generate a single fixed effect variable combining both sets of information. But isn't there a problem with this: namely, the codes for this (in effect) interaction term are not readily interpretable? Say we have a dataset of ten states and ten industry sectors, both coded from 1 to 10. We then run Austin's code and get our FE variable (let's call it G) that Yvonne thinks she's got. This will give her codes running from 1 to 100. The question is, is Yvonne comfortable with trying to interpret lower numbers of G as representing certain industries (or states) and higher numbers of G as representing other industries (or states)? Since these categories that comprise G are _nominal_, rather than ordinal, I wouldn't be comfortable with this at all. Perhaps you can acheive this if your number of categories for each of the variables is very small, but if not, I think you'd be easily lost in a large mire of output codes. I know I would be. If you can figure out a way around it, then you're a smarter bod than I. I should also make a correction here: when I discussed time dummies in my reply to Yvonne, I, of course, meant state dummies (which Yvonne wants). Apologies there. Anyway, the point I was making still stands.

How to House-train Your Puppy
Press release from: Rolf C. Hagen (UK) Ltd.
PR Agency: The Words Workshop
Dogs learn best by repetition so it's important to get him into a routine. First decide where you want him to go and make sure you take him to that same spot every few hours especially after eating, drinking and immediately after he wakes up.
Remember that very young puppies can only hold their bladders for 2 to 3 hours - including during the night. Be sure to praise your puppy when he performs in the right place and resist the temptation to scold him when he makes a mistake. Dogs respond well to praise but will not understand if you lose your temper or rub his nose in it, all that will do is to encourage him to do it out of sight, like behind the settee. One way of encouraging your puppy to return to the right place is to use a training aid such as Hagen's Dogit training mats. These are scented to attract your puppy and at the same time reduce odours, they're also useful when travelling or staying in hotels.
If you take him to his training mat or special place outdoors after he eats or drinks he will develop the habit and eventually become accustomed to where and when to go.
It's important not to let your puppy turn house-training into a game; a trip to his toilet area shouldn't be an opportunity to go wild in the garden. If after visiting the area he decides not to perform take him back in doors immediately and try again later. Keep a careful eye on him to make sure he doesn't wander off into another room or go behind the furniture.
When the inevitable accident does happen clean up as soon as possible and spray the area with a pet deodoriser such as Hagen's Dogit BUST-IT stain and odour remover, this will get rid of unpleasant smells and stop your puppy being attracted to the same area again. A dog's sense of smell is many times better than our own and conventional cleaners will not remove the residual scents that are still detectable by your dog's highly sensitive nose.
If your puppy continues to have accidents it's probably because he does not really understand what is expected of him. Try going back to the beginning and show him what you want him to do. Don't get cross; just persevere until he gets it right.
Even when house-trained some dogs have little accidents when greeting visitors; every time they get excited a little puddle appears on the floor. Again it's no good shouting or chastising the dog; that will only make things worse. Try to keep things calm and if possible warn your guests about the problem before they arrive. Greeting your friends outside the house rather than in the hall is another option, but in any event keep things low key and avoid getting your dog too excited.
Finally, in rare cases medical problems can cause a form of incontinence in young dogs, so if your puppy is continually having accidents despite your house-training efforts it may be worth taking him to the vets for a check-up.

LAVRHSS which celebrated its silver jubilee last year has earned a good reputation for providing a free and supportive environment for talented students and for its focus on inclusive education
Sited on a verdant 8.5-acre campus replete with shade-spreading trees and spacious playgrounds in Chennai's upmarket Harrington Road, the Lady Andal Venkatasubba Rao Higher Secondary School (LAVRHSS, estb. 1987), affiliated with the Tamil Nadu State Board of Secondary Education (TNSBSE), has earned a good reputation for providing a free and supportive environment for talented students, and for its focus on inclusive education. Last September, in the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2012, LAVRHSS was ranked among the Top 10 day schools in Tamil Nadu and Top 40 all-India. More significantly, it's the first private school in the state formerly affiliated with the Directorate of Matriculation Schools and currently with TNSBSE, to be highly ranked in the EW India School Rankings conducted by the reputed Delhi-based market research company C fore.
The history of LAVRHSS goes back to 1928 when Justice Sir M. Venkat-asubba Rao and his wife Andalamma founded the Madras Seva Sadan (MSS), a registered charitable and social welfare institution, to protect, teach and help destitute women and children. Under their untiring care, many welfare units were started and currently MSS boasts 14 social welfare organisations including the government-aided class I-XII Madras Seva Sadan Higher Secondary School for Girls (estb. 1930); a women's home and separate vocat-ional centres for destitute women and children; a rehabilitation centre for women cured of mental illness; a working women's hostel; Shanti Sadan: a senior citizen's home and Parivart-analaya, an institute providing free training to women and children in computer-usage and other skills. To extend education facilities to male children, two schools including the government-aided, co-educational Madras Seva Sadan Higher Secondary School (estb. 1953) and the Sir & Lady M. Venkatasubba Rao Higher Secondary School (estb. 1960) were started on a 13-acre campus in the suburb of Tambaram. In 1971, another co-ed school, the Sir M. Venkatasubba Rao Matriculation Higher Secondary School, was established in T. Nagar. In 1987, LAVRHSS was prom-oted in memory of its late founder Andalamma. The latest to join the MSS stable is the CBSE-affiliated Sir Mutha School (estb. 2012).
From the time LAVRHSS admitted its first batch of eight students in 1987, this preschool-class XII institution has experienced steady growth and boasts an aggregate enrolment of 1,300 students instructed by 62 teachers. "Our prime objective is to create a happy and fearless learning environment for students. The school's focus is on holistic development of students and we lay great emphasis on sports and games, with our students participating in 23 different sports and winning laurels in national and international arenas. We also believe in inclusive education and currently 200 students with special needs are studying in the school," says Prema C. Kumar, great niece of Sir and Lady M. Venkatasubba Rao and correspondent (spokesperson) of LAVRHSS.
Committed to a rounded education experience for its students, the manage-ment accords high status to co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and offers maths and science, quiz, literary, nature, and Juvenoptimist clubs. Students can also choose from Indian and western music, keyboard training and play in the school band.
The outstanding feature of LAVRHSS is the high priority it accords to sports education with modern facilities and arenas for swimming, football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, table tennis and athletics. To encourage students to participate in their chosen sports, the school has tied up with Bangalore-based sports company Leapstart, which has designed a structured sports curriculum for its students. The school is justifiably proud of its national and international champs in rifle shooting, Formula I racing, go-karting, squash, rowing, sailing, golf, karate and equestrian sports. Swimming, gymnastics and yoga are also integrated into the school curriculum.
"The benefits of a holistic schooling experience percolate into academics, and LAVRHSS has consistently recorded 100 percent results in state board exams while topping state rankings in communicative English and German for the past six years. With our management and teachers becoming increasingly aware of blurring national boundaries, LAVRHSS has signed cultural exchange programmes with Yio Chu Kang Secondary School, Singapore and Skive Gymnasium, Denmark, and teacher exchange programmes with MacFarland High School, Wisconsin, USA," says Shalini Pillai, principal of LAVRHSS. An alumna of Mumbai, Pondicherry and Annamalai universities, Pillai came aboard in 1992 and was appointed principal in June 2010.
This wide range of academic, co-curricular and sports activities is supported by excellent infrastructure. Children in the Montessori preschool are afforded well-furnished play areas, with primary and secondary students availing fully-wired classrooms equipped with Smart interactive boards, a spacious library with over 12,000 titles, several journals and magazine subscriptions, a computer and three science labs. LAVRHSS also boasts an iMinds creative lab with 30 Mac computers set up by Chennai-based digital media training company Image Infotainment Ltd which offers a structured syllabus in gaming, sound recording and design. Other facilities are a grand 1,100-seat Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao auditorium comprising a two-tier air-conditioned theatre, and a crèche (Priyathama) for children aged six months to five years. The school's impressive sports infra-structure includes a 25-metre six-lane swimming pool, separate courts for volleyball and basketball, apart from cricket nets.
Encouraged by the affirmation of LAVRHSS' status as one of Chennai's Top 10 day schools, the management plans to consolidate its comprehensive education model by investing in teacher and leadership training. "We want to build on the reputation we have earned over 25 years and carry forward the noble ideals of our founders. We will also continue our efforts to contem-porise education by embracing new fields and technology, and strive to make school a joyful place for all children," vows Kumar.
Admission & fees
Admission into all classes is as per state government norms.
Tuition fees: Rs.25,000-30,000 per annum

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Michigan Realty Solutions really smooth in getting you going; paid 1st invoice 75 days after calling; then get you busy and delay payment until you are either broke or wise up and stop incurring costs/expenses . We never get to deep with a new company until we establish a good payment history.
We stopped after we had 3 invoices unpaid and informed Eva Steward and J. Boyle we would not complete remaining approved invoices until paid on old invoices.
Also, we refused to sign their Vendor Agreement. We are a well established company and have funds necessary to pursue as far as we can. We plan on legal action and naming legal owners of property as Defendants based on agency and their knowledge of the actions of Michigan Realty Solutions.

Projects & Commissions Update
I've updated the personal website – removing many older pieces (there will be more removed over the coming week), and adding many new pieces to all galleries. I hope to have the entire site updated over the next week, with a new section added in a month for an upcoming project. More on that later. Below are some of the new commission pieces I've added as well as personal pieces that will be added to the print gallery soon. Additionally I hope to have my Con Schedule listed soon – it will appear on the sidebar menu as well with the site update.
Outland Collective
Many of you will note the new banner on the right – I have joined the Outland Collective along with some art pals and have begun posting pieces there monthly as well as this month's First Friday piece, Seven Devils. The First Friday pieces will be prints in the near future so keep an eye out for that link soon in the sidebar. Every third Monday of the month I'll have a new challenge piece there.
I've been working on a few new projects recently; a couple I hope to be able to talk about soon. I have also been plugging away at RELAUNCH chapter 2 with Ron Perazza, and I recently wrapped production on zombie sword blade designs for Neptune Trading. When I have one in my hand expect pictures and a link to purchase them. Because of the projects I am currently working on, commissions are closed for me until mid March, before coming conventions. Those commissions I do post over this month are pieces I've had on my list already. And now – back to work!

DNA testing for Dog Poop
Posted on 19. Jul, 2011 by Nora Betz in News
Property managers are getting fed up with irresponsible dog owners who do not pick up their dog's poop on the property. A New Hampshire apartment community is requiring residents to hand over a DNA sample for their pet. These property managers collect a mouth swab from the dog and then when poop is left on the property, they can check it against their samples using PooPrints.
"The tests bought through PooPrints, a subsidiary of BioPet Vet Lab in Knoxville, Tennessee, match the DNA already captured to a sample of each pet's waste. Poop that isn't scooped can then be analyzed."
Managers believe the problem is getting worse and they want to create a clean and nice environment for their residents. If offenders are caught leaving their dog's waste on the property they may receive a warning the first time and have to pay the $60 lab fee. However, if residents continue to neglect to pick up their pet's waste, it could result in a lease violation and potential eviction.
What do you think about using a PooPrints policy in your community?

new way moving1400 E Miami Gardens Drive #212 Miami, Florida USA
new way moving New Way?.....No Way!!!! Miami Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
New Way…NO WAY !!! I made a big mistake. I trusted this company to get my car moved. They took my deposit, never performed any service (except lip service), and now won't give the deposit back. Thieves. Do not use New Way Moving. This company misleads its customers into believing their car will be transported at the quote they give, asks for a deposit on your credit card, never provides the service, instead tries to squeeze more money from the customer, and refuses to return the deposit. This company is not to be trusted, no matter what they tell you or what self-serving reviews they have out there. After I gave them my credit card for a deposit, I got an email asking me to sign a contract that gave away any rights you have. "The customer agree that he will pay the broker fee to New way moving services and will NOT seek to charge back a credit card or dispute any charge once processing had began on his order." I did not sign that contract. I thought that it would have given my consent for No Way to keep my deposit without performing any service. Guess what? They kept my deposit anyway. Even with filing a dispute, I could not get my deposit back. My credit card company could not stop them even though they considered New Way as "underhanded," and not to be trusted. How I wish I had read reviews and complaints concerning this company before all of this occurred. I could and should have read the many very negative reviews and complaints lodged against this company from former customers that had identical experiences with this company as I had. Like most people who do not use this kind of a service very often, if ever, I too was not prepared to beware of dealing with an underhanded company like this. Others will likely become their victims just like me. I now know that to be accredited by Better Business Bureau of Miami, Florida a company needs to apply and BBB needs to determine if a company meets their accreditation standards: Build Trust, Advertise Honestly, Tell the Truth, Be Transparent, Honor Promises, Be Responsive, Safeguard Privacy, Embody Integrity. New Way is not accredited by BBB. I found that BBB grades a company across these factors: Complaint History, Type of Business, Time in Business, Business Background, Failure to Honor Commitments to BBB, Licensing and Government Actions, and Advertising Issues. On a scale of A+ to F, has now downgraded New Way again and now BBB gives this company a grade of D. You can guess what I would give them. My advice: Do not use this company. There are other companies that will not take a deposit until they find a driver and you agree to the price. Somehow New Way should be stopped from using these deceptive practices to trick people who just want to get their car transported at the price to which they agreed, so that there won't be more victims like me for New Way.
