Homeless For The Holidays
Kathleen DeCarolis came home one
morning last week to "vacate notices" on her front door and Department of Buildings' inspectors surrounding her home, ordering her to evacuate the premises immediately.
DeCarolis, 55, a school crossing guard at P.S. 225, right across the boulevard from her former home, is one of at least a dozen families who were thrown out of their homes at 109-12 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, just days before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The families, all paying at least $1,000 a month in rent have been left out in the cold, with nowhere to go, some of the evicted told The Wave.
DeCarolis, who will stay with friends before attempting to find a new apartment, said that families were only permitted inside the building to gather their belongings and then ordered to leave.
"They gave us an hour and then began padlocking the apartments," she said. "Nobody had time to get all their belongings out."
Caroline Sullivan, a spokesperson for the Department of Buildings, said that the property was slapped with a vacate order after multiple inspections proved that the one-family house and several bungalows next to the home were illegally converted into separate apartments, housing a number of different families.
Sullivan said that inspectors also discovered that the homeowner had several different renovations that were completed, ranging from installation of new gas lines, plumbing and additional boilers, installed, without the respective work permits.
The dwellings are no strangers to the DOB's violations unit. There have been a total of 12 complaints, four Environmental Control Board violations, and three violations from the Department of Buildings at that address.
According to the Department of Buildings, the property was inspected in October and was issued eight violations for housing more than the approved number of families, as well as for work done without the required permits.
DeCarolis is upset, though, at the fact that no one ever informed her about the issues within her apartment.
"They just told us to leave," she said. "No warning at all. I don't understand, I paid my rent."
Officials say that DeCarolis and the others had to be removed from their homes because the follow-up inspection done last week revealed that the owner had not remedied any of the existing violations from October. The inspectors also discovered additional illegal work being performed, making the vacate order imminent.
According to DeCarolis, people of all ages were affected by the vacate order, including a homebound elderly woman, a pregnant woman due to give birth in the near future and families with numerous children.
One of the families removed was the Ortiz family.
Norma Ortiz said that she and her sons had moved to Rockaway from a shelter in the Bronx and that one of her children had just started attending PS 225.
"Now, they're telling me they are going to put me up at a hotel near the airport and then, on Monday, I have to go back to the Bronx shelter," she said. What kind of way is that to treat a family just before the holidays?"
Workers from the American Red Cross were on scene to assist the evacuees and to take them to shelters. Those officials told The Wave, however, that they could only put the homeless up for the weekend. After that, they said, the people were on their own in finding a place to live.
Fortunately for DeCarolis and two other families, they have friends to stay with. However, that is no satisfaction for DeCarolis, who feels angry and betrayed.
"I have never seen this happen to anyone before in my life," she said. "It is just cruel."
Department of Buildings inspectors ordered the termination of all water, gas, and electricity service to the building, forcing them out, according to DeCarolis.
The Department of Buildings spokesperson said that officials from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were also on hand to provide the tenants with temporary housing solutions.
DeCarolis still doesn't think that the assistance given to the homeless tenants does anything to excuse the actions of the city.
"I wouldn't treat an animal like this," DeCarolis said of the DOB's actions. "We had refrigerators full of food that went bad and some of us had pets that were stranded with nowhere to go."
Tenants all said the owner of the property is Eli Abid, who was unavailable for comment despite repeat telephone calls to his number. The Department of Finance records, however, list the owner as William Reese.
At least two of the tenants said that they had never heard that name, and that the rent, thousands of dollars a month in the aggregate, was paid to Abid.
It came as no surprise to DeCarolis that The Wave could not reach Abid.
"You're not going to find him anywhere," she said. "He is supposedly in Israel right now, but who knows."
According to DeCarolis, the landlord never informed any of the tenants that there were unresolved legal issues relative to the property.
The tenants paid their rent every month and were never contacted before or after the original Department of Buildings orders by the landlord about vacating their apartments.
"No one knows what is going on," she said. "I just came home from work and people were putting up stickers on my door and telling me to get out," she said.
Sullivan said that the tenants would not be allowed back into their homes until it is listed as safe for occupancy.
In order for the vacate order to be lifted, she said, the property owner must restore the building to its legal use or file permit applications with the Department of Buildings to reflect and justify the creation of the unauthorized apartments.
An official at the scene on Tuesday afternoon, as former residents tried to get their belongings into a Red Cross van for a trip to the shelter, said that it seemed heartless to move the residents so close to the holiday.
"This is really a dangerous situation," the official said. "We had to move them [immediately] for their own safety."

A person's waist-hip ratio was the best measurement of obesity and should become the standard measurement for cardiovascular risk, Australian researchers say.
The proposal is good news for those stressing about a high body mass index (BMI), but bad news for the so-called "apple" body types who carry excess weight around their waist.
The ratio, obtained by dividing the size of the waist by the size of the hips, was a more accurate measurement than the gold-standard body mass index, according to a study in the Medical Journal of Australia.
For example, a women with a 65cm (26 inch) waist and 87.5cm (35 inch) hips has the ideal waist hip ratio of 0.8 or less.
However, once the ratio increased by just 0.1, a woman moved into the cardiovascular danger area, said obesity expert Tim Welborn from WA's Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
The ideal ratio for men was 0.9 and it began reflecting a risk at 1.0.
"For women it's really getting bad if your ratio is 0.9 or more and for men if your waist-hip is 1.0 or more," he said.
Professor Welborn's findings are based on an 11-year study of 9,000 adults aged 20-69 from capital cities around Australia.
Professor Welborn said the BMI, which was weight divided by height squared and used as a measurement of body fatness by the World Health Organisation (WHO), was flawed.
For example, lean Asian or Indian body frames tended to have low BMIs while lean Polynesian frames had a higher BMI.
The waist-hip ratio, measured using a standardised technique, was a more universal gauge, he said.
"Everyone knows that being fat is bad and it's a risk for heart attack, diabetes and cancer," Prof Welborn told AAP.
"But for many years the World Health Organisation has said the way we measure body fatness is to measure the BMI.
"A little bit surprisingly (in our study) waist-hip came out way better than anything else, including BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure.
"It is a compelling and predictive risk factor."
Prof Welborn said the waist-hip ratio tended to increase with age, but this reflected increasing physical inactivity and an obesogenic environment.
Doctors should use the waist-hip ratio formula in clinical assessment, knowing it could be as important as blood pressure and cholesterol, he said.
He also said he was hopeful the study would filter through to the WHO and lead to a revision of their "edict" on BMI.

Last week I reached out to Launch Grow Joy readers and members of Help a Reporter (if you're not already subscribed, you should sign up now by clicking here) and asked you to share your best Pinterest marketing tips. Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to reply and provided such great insight.
A lot of you are using Pinterest with great success and some of you have even reported that Pinterest drives more traffic to your site than Google+, YouTube or LinkedIn!
If you are not already on Pinterest, what are you waiting for? It's sending more traffic to retailers and websites than YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn combined. If you need a pinterest invite, let me know and I'll send you one right away.
Here are your best Pinterest marketing tips:
Pin Wisely
Be the pinner that people want to follow, by pinning wisely. Don't over post items from your shop–but rather pin a wide variety of beautiful items, with yours in the mix. If you post only items from your shop–or post too many, people are not only unlikely to repin–they are likely to quit following your pins (thus you have defeated your purpose) Try to find original items to pin as well–items that are not "repins" from Pinterest. – Thanks to Andrea from sorrythankyou79 for this tip.
Mix It Up
Have some boards that are relevant to your target audience professionally – some will probably be specific to the type of products or services you offer, but not all should link back to your own site – but don't be afraid to include boards about your personal interests, such as cooking, gardening, and fashion. This gives a peek into who you are as a person, but also will attract others to your profile, as many people share the same general interests. – Thanks to Janet from Organized Assistant for this tip.
Pin those clients!
My most valuable business tip is to pin the logos of clients, along with a link to their website onto a board called "My awesome clients". Then I send the direct URL for that pin to my client. I have had tons of positive feedback from my clients after doing this! Many of them don't even know how to use Pinterest, so they really love that they are "on Pinterest" even without having to lift a finger. The goodwill I've received from this simple effort has returned on the time invested many fold. – Thanks to Marty from FawnKey and Associates for this tip.
Don't Forget About SEO
You should always use your targeted keywords in the pin description. Most people never bother renaming their pins so your description may stay with an image as it gets repinned all over the Pinterest world. For pins relating to your business, you should include your URL in the pin description. When you add a website address in the description, it shows up as a hyperlink. – Thanks to Steve from Bumblebee Linens for this tip.
Be Genuine
Pinterest is a great place to make new connections. If you want to see these new connections to grow, you need to be authentic, not spammy. Use pinterest to share your passions, dreams and interests. Once your new connections get to know you better, they will become long-term relationships. – Thanks to Staci from Contempo Jewelry for this tip.
Hash tags & Keywords For More Views
Aurorae Yoga is an e-retailer of yoga mats & accessories. We use Pinterest not only to showcase our products, but also share Wellness-Inspired Recipes, yoga poses, quotes, beautiful images, and other products we think our followers would enjoy. Using #hashtags and keywords in the pin's description enables more Pinterest users to find you and your posts. For example, if you have a product description for an Organic Yoga Mat Wash, you can add a hashtag for #fitness, #cleaning, #organic. – Thanks to Eileen from Aurorae Yoga for this tip.
Be Personal
Of course I use Pinterest for my business, but I also like to pin things that are more about me and my life so I don't always self-promote. It's important for people to see you as a real person and not a pinning machine. For example, among my boards, I have my wedding related boards that feature one or two of my products along with tons of others that fit in with the theme of the board, but I also have boards up relating to home decor and organization as well as ideas for my daughter's first birthday party. – Thanks to Cherin from Customized Wedding Creations for this tip.
Show and Tell
We love Pinterest because we are a visual company – we are an online crowdsourcing platform for logo design. Pinterest allows us to showcase some of our designers' noteworthy logos – the ones that are funny, or beautiful or unusual. It's also a really nice way to connect with our followers by pinning up other people's images that we admire. We also like to pin personal stuff about us – such as our favorite breakfast meals! – Thanks to Michelle from MycroBurst for this tip.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Arrange your boards so the most attractive and popular ones are in the top two rows of the page, giving preference to boards for current seasons and holidays. Then, edit each board cover to feature the most colorful and striking image. (If you don't do this, the most recent pin will appear as the cover for the board.) This technique will help you gain followers, because people will be dazzled by even a quick glance at the colorful display on your page. – Thanks to Carla from Printable Party Kits for this tip.
Pinterest: A Wedding Planner's Best Friend
Pinterest can be your new best friend when it comes to wedding planning. No matter how great or small your budget or what style, color or theme you have in mind, Pinterest is the place for you to help gather your thoughts. You can browse through tons of other weddings people have already done, or you can put your own ideas out there. The best part is, you can keep them all in one place so you can remember it all. If you are looking for DIY ideas, Pinterest is especially helpful, but really, just putting all your ideas in front of you helps you see how your wedding will look together. – Thanks to Holli from Wiregrass Weddings for this tip.
Emotion is Compelling & Drives Pinning
Pinterest is emotive – understanding its culture is key to being successful. Brands can capitalize on this by paying attention to what their customers love pinning. Begin by listening to your customers, provide content that drives engagement via beautiful graphics, videos and photography. Follow and like influencers and make sure you are also repinning your fans' pins! Overall, brand managers should avoid "pinning" content that primarily focuses on sales collateral, and instead, pin captivating content that creates an emotional bond. – Thanks to Micah from Jennings Social Media Marketing for this tip.
Use Pinterest to Grab Interest
As a public relations executive, it's my job to promote a variety of clients. While it's easy to promote a business that has a lot of visuals, i.e. a clothing designer or a furniture company, it's a little harder to create a board when your business isn't visual; but it's not impossible. Why not take some photos of people at work and be creative with the descriptions. Add art and graphics to your blogs and then pin them and link to the blog. Get your customers to send photos and add them to your board. Who better than a happy customer to market your company? Remember, the goal is to create brand awareness and drive traffic from Pinterest to your website. – Thanks to Susan from Boardroom Communications for this tip.
Pinning is great tool for collaboration
Pinterest is the perfect place to build relationships with colleagues. Create a board with broad appeal. Go to Edit, select Who can pin. Invite clients and business partners to contribute pins. This capitalizes upon the social aspect of Pinterest: you are promoting your customers. Pins are seen more times, which helps grow everyone's followers – yours too.It's also important to evaluate your website from a pinner's perspective. Use colorful images sized to be pin-friendly. Include a Pin widget. Make it easy for pinners to promote products they love. That's free advertising! – Thanks to Leslie from Catalogs.com for this tip.
Pin your passion, that's enough
We us Pinterest to share our love of cats – cat lovers are our customers, so the connection is perfect and obvious. We do have a Boxiecat brand board, but we focus mostly on other boards and don't include any marketing. On our boards, we're just like our customers – we get sucked into looking at them, laughing, and enjoying the cat pic phenomenon on the web. We also share art by cats, cats in art, and products from other companies. If someone shares our interests, they'll ask – who is Boxiecat? – Thanks to Josh from Boxiecat for this tip.
Your Personality Sells your Business
Pinterest is a fantastic way to showcase your personality. As a small business owner, your business is all about you. Try to set up boards, not only about your products and services, but also about things that you enjoy personally. When people get to know you, they also want to know more about your business. This is especially important if you have a service based business, as there will not always be enough images of your services to warrant their own board.- Thanks to Karen from Aurora's Message for this tip.
Show 'Em How it's Done: Drive Traffic with Real-Life Examples
Our software company sells a QR Code Management system. We are having a lot of success with Pinterest by posting images of "QR Codes in the Wild". Those pins certainly come with a curiosity factor! And best of all, they are driving traffic to our blog posts. We are pinning images of the QR Code usage that link back to a blog post that discusses the QR Code effort in more detail. From there, they are being pointed to learn more and sign up for our software solution. – Thanks to Jason from interlinkONE for this tip.

Andrea, thank you so much for the opportunity to be featured on your blog. It sounds like Cherin and I think a lot alike! Lots of great ideas here for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Hi Andrea,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for including my tip in this list!
Thanks for all of the inspiration that you provide to people through this blog… Have a great day!
Very helpful, thanks! It's so wonderful that there's such a tremendous amount of resources available to Pinterest marketers. An excellent Pinterest Influencer Network I've come across that's been really helpful to my biz is PinLeague. They're basically a one-stop shop of Pinterest marketing resources definitely worth mentioning. Hope this helps.
Hi Andrea, I am just getting a start at developing a web site for my new business of marketing homemade food mixes, seasonings, and spices. (site mentioned above) I am also signed up at Pinterest, but know nothing about how to pin, what is meant by boards, etc. To be directed to the elementary level as to how I can use Pinterest for my business, to pin, etc. would be very helpful. Can you steer me in a direction that I can learn the basic operations of Pinterest? Thank you so much as I am very interested also in what others are posting on Pinterest. I read with interest your article 'Beat Pinterest Marketing Tips" which sound very helpful. I am looking forward to learning more on how to contribute success to my business!!! Jeri
Jeri I would recommend Melanie Duncan, she has a website and offers webinars on the power of pinning- helpful stuff. One key that I don't know was mentioned is to be sure you have a business account set up and verified. We also use tools for scheduling pins as not to overwhelm. Good Luck- it's lots of fun!
Thanks Andrea! As a product based business (we create collegiate and Greek licensed totes, etc..) pinterest has been vital for our growth! One thing we love is that unlike facebook and Twitter and other platforms, your images don't get buried after a day or two..for instance our #1 most pinned item, our Texas Flag Fanny Pack (yes, it's true!) was originally pinned over 2 years ago and it still being found and "re pinned" every week! I have also added boards for our favorite retailers as we sell direct and wholesale as well. We carry several colleges and sororities so we have a board for each one, I think of them as mini websites..and we can easily attribute a large portion of direct sales back to pinterest. Having products other than just your own is def a must.
That's so great to hear, Carol! Actually, the same is true for me – an infographic that I pinned 2.5 years ago still gets repinned constantly and drives more traffic to my website than so many other sources!
Do you use your personal account on Pinterest or do you use the business account? I was told by someone else to use my personal account for Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram so people get to know the personal side of me. I would love to know what you recommend.
Thanks so much!!

A Brief History of New York City's Taxis2012-09-05 3 10 Share Tweet
If you're heading to NYC for Fashion Week, you better get acquainted with the sunny-shade vehicles that zoom through Manhattan's grey concrete. TIME gives us a backgrounder on the Big Apple's famous yellow cabs which, interestingly, weren't always yellow.
An early electric hansom taxicab on a New York City street, circa 1900. The Electric Carriage and Wagon Company, the first taxicab company in New York City, began operating 12 electric hansom cabs in July 1897—a time when city traffic was overwhelmingly of the horse-drawn variety.
By the 1920s, as demand for autos boomed, industrialists had recognized the potential of the taxi market. Automobile manufacturers like General Motors and the Ford Motor Company began operating fleets of cabs. Here, a New York City yellow cab in 1929.
Nicknamed the "Sunshine" cab, taxis with a European-style sun roof were put into service in New York, June 19, 1936. The new fleet was the largest single order for new taxicabs in history.
The Checker Cab, used between 1956 and 1982, became one of the most recognizable symbols of mid-20th century urban life. Manufactured by the Checkered Cab Company, the iconic black-and-yellow taxi was advertised as a roomy and rugged alternative to the standard American passenger sedan.
The new model taxicab from Chevrolet is shown in New York City, May 17, 1950.
Taxis drive through the streets of Manhattan near 5th Avenue in New York City, 1972. The vehicles' signature yellow livery didn't become law until 1967, when the city ordered that all licensed "medallion taxis" be painted the same color, in order to cut down on unofficial drivers and make the cabs more recognizable.
A gas-electric hybrid taxi drives on a street on March 1, 2011 in New York City. In May 2007, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a five-year plan to switch New York City's taxicabs to more fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles. However, the plan was dropped after operators complained that the cost of maintaining the new cars outweighed the fuel savings. Today, New York City has around 4,300 hybrid taxis, representing almost 33 percent of the 13,237 taxis in service—the most in any city in North America.
A Nissan NV200 is unveiled in New York City on April 2, 2012. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the vehicle would serve as the city's exclusive taxicab for the next decade. The iconic New York City taxi has gotten a 21st-Century makeover, with low-annoyance horns, USB chargers for passengers and germ-fighting seats to cut down on bad odors. Taxi operators will be required to buy the Nissan NV 200 at a cost of about $29,000 starting in late 2013.
Talk about evolutionary. With millions of tourists flocking New York City every day, a ride on one of their iconic yellow cabs is a must-do. And with fast-paced Fashion Week starting tomorrow, taxis are surely gonna get around. (Be sure to chat up the drivers—they have the most interesting stories!)
Here are some Lomographs by our community members who flagged some yellow babies—er, cabbies—down.

The Mill Mystery HTML version
9. An Unexpected Discovery
But bear me stiffly up!
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I was saved the embarrassment of
meeting Guy Pollard at the breakfast-table the next morning. I was, therefore, left
in ignorance as to the result of the conversation between the brothers, though
from the softened manner of Dwight, and the quiet assurance with which he
surrounded me with the delicate atmosphere of his homage, I could not but argue
that he had come out master of the situation.
It was, therefore, with mingled feelings of pleasure and apprehension that I left
the house at the hour appointed for the double funeral; feelings that would have
been yet more alive had I realized that I should not re-enter those gates again, or
see the interior of that fatal house, till I had passed through many bitter
The ceremonies, in spite of the latent suspicion of the community that Mr.
Barrows' death had been one of his own seeking, were of the most touching and
impressive description. I was overcome by them, and left the churchyard before
the final prayer was said, feeling as if the life of the last three days had been a
dream, and that here in the memory of my lovely Ada and her griefs lay my true
existence and the beginning and ending of my most sacred duty.
Pursuant to this thought I did not turn immediately back to the gloomy mansion
which claimed me for the present as its own, but wandered away in an opposite
direction, soothing my conscience by the thought that it was many hours yet
before the services would be held for Mrs. Pollard, and that neither the brothers
nor Mrs. Harrington could have any use for me till that time.
The road I had taken was a sequestered one, and strange as it may seem to
some, did not awaken special memories in my mind till I came to a point where
an opening in the trees gave to my view the vision of two tall chimneys; when like
a flash it came across me that I was on the mill road, and within a few short rods
of the scene of Mr. Barrows' death.
The sensation that seized me at this discovery was of the strangest kind. I felt
that I had been led there; and without a thought of what I was doing, pressed on
with ever-increasing rapidity till I came to the open doorway with its dismantled
To pass over the now much-trodden grass and take my stand by the dismal walls
was the work of an instant; but when I had done this and experienced in a rush
the loneliness and ghostly influence of the place, I was fain to turn back and
leave it to the dream of its own fearful memories. But the sight of a small piece of
paper pinned or pasted on the board that had been nailed in futile precaution
across the open doorway deterred me. It was doubtless nothing more important
than a notice from the town authorities, or possibly from the proprietors of the
place, but my curiosity was excited, and I desired to see it. So I hastened over to

Continuous hammering noise
We are hearing this continuous hammering noise from our plumbing lines. It happens through-out the day and night. Although it is very prominent during the night, may be bacuse it is quiet.
We hear a continuous hammering noise for a minute then it will be silent for a minute. Again it starts after a minute. We are not using water at all during that time. I think this is coming from our heating system lines (we have hot water boiler that circulates water thru' baseboards for heating).
Is anybody facing this problem? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Gotta find it
When it is very quiet and you can hear yourself think go to your basement area and see whats hammering. You feel the pipe when the noise is happening and you will feel a definate vibration on the worst pipe in the worst area, thats where you put an expansion tank or a upward capped pipe, sometimes is enough to fix the hammer. Keep looking till you find offending area. Sure your stool isnt running every little bit? Or could be your hot water heat tubes, heating and cooling. If you put in an expansion tank, put a 1/4 turn steam valve just below it to isolate it so you can replace if nesessary.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been making the most of her husband Prince William's 6-week deployment to the Falklands. She has begun doing solo engagements. But she isn't without support. In the past few weeks, Kate has stepped out and learnt from the best – The Queen and the Prince of Wales. She and Her Majesty have appeared in 2 joint engagements. Later, Kate joined her father-in-law to learn more about his art charity.
1 March 2012
It was a big day for royal watchers. Three generations of the most senior royal ladies — The Queen, and two future Queen consorts, stepped out to take tea together in Piccadilly.
Her Majesty, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge visited London department store Fortnum & Mason in their first joint royal engagement. They went there to officially rename a restaurant within the shop on Piccadilly and to meet some of those who worked in the store at the time of the coronation.
Interestingly, The Queen, Kate and Camilla arrived in the same car and dressed in different shades of blue!
Inside the store, the royals met staff and former employees. Her Majesty spent time in the preserve section, discussing honey with one member of staff. The focus for Kate and Camilla was the sweet section.
Toward the end, the royal trio were each presented with a Fortnum's hamper, containing delicacies including champagne truffles – and dog biscuits! All three are known dog lovers. While the Queen is known for her love of corgis, Kate and William recently acquired a cocker spaniel pup they have named Lupo.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee visit kicked on in grand style. Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh were accompanied by The Duchess of Cambridge to Leicester, the first region on the Queen's visit list. Arriving by train, the royal party was welcomed by a 5,000-strong crowd and dancers.
Their first stop was at De Monfort University, where Kate and the Queen were seen chatting comfortably during a student fashion show. Later Kate chose the winner of a contest to design a shoe for her. They later emerged in the Leicester sunshine to greet the crowds. It was a glorious start for Her Majesty's Jubilee tours, and she and Kate are clearly getting on quite well. It's significant to point out that The Queen has rarely, if ever, done joint engagements alone with Princess Diana or Camilla.

Dulwich Picture Gallery
Kate stepped out for the first time with the Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to visit one of Charles's charities. The idea was to celebrate their shared love of the arts and children at Dulwich Picture Gallery in south London, but the royal party soon found themselves roped into some domestic duties.
The royals spoke to children taking part in Face Britain, as part of the Great Art Quest, which sees them make self-portraits which will be beamed on to the front of Buckingham Palace in April to mark the start of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
After that, the royal trio got domestic. Iron art! Looks like Kate has had some experience with ironing, but we're not so sure the same thing can be said about Prince Charles. See hilarious video below.
The royal pair also got holed up cutting up lace for some art work.
Jeremy Newton, chief executive of The Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts, said: "It was fantastically exciting. Both the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have spent quite a bit of time finding out about the charity, but it was the first time the Duchess of Cambridge had come to see us."
"Obviously the children adore her, and she adores the children. She greatly enjoyed seeing their artwork. All of the pupils are saying they will never forget this day, as long as they live. It's been a complete revelation for them that royals are normal people. They've had a lovely time."

TravelPod Member ReviewsLe Meridien Noumea
Le Meridien is a nice hotel. It is a little run down and you can see where there is mould growing through the ceiling in some parts of the room and the hotel - which is partly to be expected given it is in a cyclone ravaged (correct word?) area.
The staff are friendly, however a little inconsistent when going from inside the hotel to outside the hotel around the pool/bar/beach area. The rooms are a little tired and housekeeping can also be a little inconsistent when it comes to making sure everything has been replaced, but on the other hand there appears to be service 3 times a day (when there's consistency).
They have plans on 'up-doing' both the inside and outside areas according to a response to 'no hot water' comment from someone else a couple of years back, but this doesn't appear to have been done yet, which makes me feel for the staff having to spin the same responses year after year when it should be just done.
Having said all of this (we booked through Expedia) it was a great stay. I'm looking forward to going back again. Maybe even around the same time as it wasn't that crowded. There was room to sit around by the beach - as we did for 8 hours at a time without getting burnt - and you can order at the bar and have food/cocktails/other beverages delivered (don't expect service consistency).
The food options, for Breakfast, Room Service and Pool/Beach Service are excellent. I'd happily eat my way through the menu.

Bienvenue Nouvelle Caledonie!
... university, the Pacific games village which is now student accommodation, and then onto a beach where we stopped for about 10 mins. We then headed back to the port where adam and I decided to go for a bit of a stroll. By this time it was after 5pm, and pretty much everything was shut. We did find the boulangerie (bakery) that had been recommended to us by the P&O Facebook page fans, and I really enjoyed their cakes. It wasn't really THAT expensive. I was imagining worse, but ...

Colleges try to curb illegal file swapping
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, September 2, 2003
College students arriving for fall classes in Washington state and across the country are facing stern warnings to discourage the swapping of pirated music and movies over high-speed campus Internet connections.
Some schools are also using software to choke the amount of data that can flow into or out of a computer when students use Kazaa and other file-sharing programs.
The new measures reflect universities' awareness that they -- along with their students -- could be named in copyright-infringement suits brought by the trade group Recording Industry Association of America.
Latest business videos
But students yesterday said the schools aren't coming close to eliminating unlawful downloads.
"Pretty much every single person I know who owns a PC downloads music," said Rachel Darden, 20, an English major at Seattle Pacific University. "A lot of students want to be morally correct, but it's a little easier to just get a copy of it."
Controlling students' unlawful use of music and video is "a challenging scenario," acknowledged Dave Tindall, SPU's executive director of computer and information systems.
Compared with two years ago, when the threat of lawsuits was more remote, SPU has tightened its policy on Internet use, specifically regulating the peer-to-peer file sharing that's characteristic of unlawful downloading. E-mails are now routinely sent to all students, staff and faculty warning of their legal responsibilities.
SPU has also made the computers of its 1,800 dorm dwellers invisible on the Internet, impeding file sharing. And it's using software to limit how much network capacity the file-sharing programs can grab.
Tindall said those efforts are working, cutting back on copyrighted material's flow into the university -- though not within it, among students using SPU's network.
Darden, the English major, didn't agree the school's policies are effective. "I don't know what they are. I didn't even know they had them," she said.
But Alex Salisbury, a 21-year-old junior from Boise, said the policies "make me slightly less likely to download music, because I know they won't back me up if the RIAA comes after me."
As to technological solutions to unlawful downloads, such as bandwidth-restricting software, "it's not extremely difficult to make file-sharing traffic look like other traffic," said Oren Sreebny, assistant director of computing and communications at the University of Washington.
"It's not foolproof, and we can only assume people have fooled it."
More stringent measures would be more effective. But the difficulty, he said, is in restricting unlawful computer and network use while permitting students, faculty and staff to use those facilities fully when their intentions are lawful.
"It's a tightrope walk," he said.
Falling off it can cost schools big. The RIAA regards file sharing as theft. Last spring, the group settled lawsuits against four college students who allegedly offered thousands of songs for download on their campus networks.
The group is expected to file several hundred more copyright-infringement lawsuits this month.
At least 10 universities have been served with subpoenas demanding they help the recording industry identify possible targets of such lawsuits, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an online civil liberties group.
Overall, RIAA President Cary Sherman said he is gratified by the attention copyright violations are getting on campuses.
"There's a world of difference this year than just a year ago in terms of the seriousness that universities are taking this issue," he said in an interview.
In a conference call yesterday, Sherman said the RIAA has not threatened to sue schools themselves but has instead spent more time persuading them that stopping file sharing "is the right thing to do."
Many universities also are eager to keep their computer networks unclogged by the transit of huge files.
Sharing of music files is a crucial issue for the industry, which claims the practice is largely responsible for a 31 percent drop in CD sales since mid-2000.
The industry has begun to embrace for-pay download services, particularly the successful Apple iTunes for Macintosh users that requires no subscription fee. But a successful Windows-based service for the vast majority of home computer users has not yet emerged.
Meanwhile, several universities are exploring ways to make music-downloading services available to students at a cost that could be incorporated into room and board bills, much like cable TV and newspaper delivery fees.
In related news, lawyers for a New York woman accused of unlawfully sharing music over the Internet suggested yesterday that the recording industry acted illegally when it investigated her online activities and that a search of music files on her computer may have been unconstitutional.

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding HTML version
16. There is, however, one contradictory phenomenon, which may prove that it is not
absolutely impossible for ideas to arise, independent of their correspondent impressions. I
believe it will readily be allowed, that the several distinct ideas of colour, which enter by
the eye, or those of sound, which are conveyed by the ear, are really different from each
other; though, at the same time, resembling. Now if this be true of different colours, it
must be no less so of the different shades of the same colour; and each shade produces a
distinct idea, independent of the rest. For if this should be denied, it is possible, by the
continual gradation of shades, to run a colour insensibly into what is most remote from it;
and if you will not allow any of the means to be different, you cannot, without absurdity,
deny the extremes to be the same. Suppose, therefore, a person to have enjoyed his sight
for thirty years, and to have become perfectly acquainted with colours of all kinds except
one particular shade of blue, for instance, which it never has been his fortune to meet
with. Let all the different shades of that colour, except that single one, be placed before
him, descending gradually from the deepest to the lightest; it is plain that he will perceive
a blank, where that shade is wanting, and will be sensible that there is a greater distance
in that place between the contiguous colours than in any other. Now I ask, whether it be
possible for him, from his own imagination, to supply this deficiency, and raise up to
himself the idea of that particular shade, though it had never been conveyed to him by his
senses? I believe there are few but will be of opinion that he can: and this may serve as a
proof that the simple ideas are not always, in every instance, derived from the
correspondent impressions; though this instance is so singular, that it is scarcely worth
our observing, and does not merit that for it alone we should alter our general maxim.
17. Here, therefore, is a proposition, which not only seems, in itself, simple and
intelligible; but, if a proper use were made of it, might render every dispute equally
intelligible, and banish all that jargon, which has so long taken possession of
metaphysical reasonings, and drawn disgrace upon them. All ideas, especially abstract
ones, are naturally faint and obscure: the mind has but a slender hold of them: they are
apt to be confounded with other resembling ideas; and when we have often employed any
term, though without a distinct meaning, we are apt to imagine it has a determinate idea
annexed to it. On the contrary, all impressions, that is, all sensations, either outward or
inward, are strong and vivid: the limits between them are more exactly determined: nor is
it easy to fall into any error or mistake with regard to them. When we entertain, therefore,
any suspicion that a philosophical term is employed without any meaning or idea (as is
but too frequent), we need but enquire, from what impression is that supposed idea
derived? And if it be impossible to assign any, this will serve to confirm our suspicion.
By bringing ideas into so clear a light we may reasonably hope to remove all dispute,
which may arise, concerning their nature and reality.1

Date of Stay: September, 2009
Just got back from a week's stay at Pirateland and I'm not really sure where to start with this review. So, I'll begin with the pros: RV sites are very accessible to the ocean. Each premium site has its own table with a wooden cover built over it. There's a large outdoor pool with a kiddie pool and lazy river. Also an indoor pool which came in handy during rainy weather. A mini-golf course is on site. One of the largest campground stores I've ever seen. Guest services are at the check-in building. Has a pizza and grill store. They allowed outside food vendors to come in and sell. During our stay, a barbecue trailer was there which seemed to do a steady business. There was a 24-hour security shack with campground personnel in it, and a 24-hour golf cart patrol who almost always waved when they drove by. Park has a nice large beachfront. I saw in some older posts that people had issues with the closeness of the sites. I will say that I have been to Gatlinburg and had no issues with this place. My awning did not almost touch my neighbor's trailer so I won't complain. Some people also mentioned the permanent sites: I had no problem with them and our site was pretty well separated from them. Now the Cons: We were lucky enough to experience the golf cart parade over Labor Day weekend. Other posters have mentioned the drunk teenagers with loud music and gold carts. That part is true. You are allowed to rent carts during your staying for a price. My wife and I had no problem getting around on our bikes. Although at night the carts came out. If you are a permanent site owner you are allowed to have your own cart with loud speakers. Being located on a beachfront site this was an issue with us. Also we got to experience two drunk teenagers ram their carts head-on and then proceed to get into a fist fight in front of our site. This happened in front of my toddler and wife until it was stopped by the cart patrol. If we ever decide to stay here again we won't be on a beach front site located on the access road. Wi-Fi is not free and you are charged crazy amounts, like 9.95 a day, for access. The resort is very large so we had a constant flow of traffic by our site. Most sites do not have concrete pads which makes for a very, very muddy-sandy mess when it rains. Lastly, Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach are ranked 5th & 7th dirtiest beaches, based on water quality, in the nation. Of course the resort has no control of this but it is good to know before swimming in the oceans.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Stayed here for a weekend outing with family. Campsites are decently laid out and easy to back into. Sites were about average in distance from each other. We stayed in the lakefront site which had a great view but no water hook-ups. Bath houses were fair in condition and cleanliness. The lake had a nice appearance but horrible to fish in. We took a paddle boat out only to find the lake has severe plant growth in it making it hard to paddle and even less enjoyable to fish in. The park is located in small town Indiana and there isn't much else to do locally. Overall we liked our stay and will probably return.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Pros: clean site, nice pool and kids pool. New spa by the pool and playground. Located right off the main drag in Pigeon Forge and right outside the entrance to the park. Full hook ups and level gravel sites. Cons: site are very close (which seems to be the norm for the area). A road runs right through the campground. Our site was on this road and proved to be a problem since we had a toddler. Vehicles from other campsites made it a challenge to back in. Wi-Fi was very choppy and dropped connection several times.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
I would give this park a ten but: no sewer hook-ups and a little road noise since you are right off the inter coastal hwy. If you do have to dump your tanks during tour stay the park designed the dump station wide enough where most rigs can do a u-turn and drive back to your spot. Other than that the park was spotless, staff was extremely friendly, bath/shower house were clean and the beach was amazing with no crowds. My wife and I will definitely return. We were in spot 6 and were amazed at how much space there was between campsites. Also, you leave the park and you are right in the middle of shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
My wife and I stayed here for one night as a layover campground during our trip to Destin. We arrived much later than we planned. The office staff had already left for the day but they called to confirm we were still coming and left us a map with our site highlighted on it. Park was clean and were sites level. WiFi was awesome, I was able to get a 54mbps connection while in the camper. I highly recommend the campground. Staff worked around our late arrival time and amenities were as promised. I did notice some earlier posts mentions the road noise. A plus to this place is that its right off the highway making it very accessible. Downside is the road noise, but it is expected being this close to the road
Date of Stay: January, 2009
This park is decent but the layout of the campsites could have been better. Hook ups can be a little distant from your rig and some site are not very level. Park does offer a nice 10 acre lake that you can fish in, rent a boat on or swim in.

|Drug Patent
|A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation.
|Drug Exclusivity
|Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant.
|A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.

Howie D Teaming Up With J-Pop Star Shirota Yu for New Love Song
Howie D. managed to combine English, Spanish, and Japanese all in one song.
No, the former Backstreet Boy isn't covering 'It's A Small World.' Howie D. was searching for a Japanese artist with international recognition to accompany him on his lead single, 'If I Say'. He found it in Japan's Shirota Yu (commonly known as 'U'). The song features Dorough and Yu singing in both English and Spanish. Yu is ever humble, but makes it clear that he's proud of their work. 'If I Say' is a pure love song, and it is a warm song," Yu tells The Tokyo Hive. "We will have to let you judge the finished work, but we are both coming to feel that it's been wonderfully done."
Garnering more buzz for the track? 'If I Say' will be the end credit song for the Japanese dubbed version of '1911', Jackie Chan's 100th film. '1911' will open the 24th annual Tokyo International Film Festival.
'If I Say' is a bonus track in the Japanese edition of Howie's solo debut album, 'Back to Me', due Nov. 9. The rest of us can snag it as a digital single now. We're still waiting for comment from Chris Tucker, but we assume he'll only understand half of the words coming out of Howie's mouth.

Hawaii County firefighters rescued a man trapped in a watery cave by high surf Saturday.
The man's wife told firefighters he tried to get out of the ocean along the rocky coast, but was pushed back in the water by waves and ended up in a cave pocket at the bottom of a cliff.
The incident happened just after 5 p.m. at the end of Alii Drive along a rocky coast known as the End of the World shoreline.
Firefighters said the high waves generated by the south swell and the unfamiliar rocky coastline kept the man from being able to get out of the ocean.
Three firefighters on a rescue boat reached the man and were able to bring him to shore.
An ambulance took him to the hospital in stable condition, firefighters said.

Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Thank you for considering a rescued Maine Coon! And, if you're not quite ready to make a long-term commitment, please consider fostering--you will truly save a life!
We do ask for two references. We try not to be intrusive, but please understand that we make a committment to find each of them the right home. We will work with you as long as needed to find the right fit for your family and we guarantee our placements.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I hope it is not too late to wish all readers a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Maaf Zahir Batin.
This year, it was our turn to celebrate Aidilfitri at my mom's house. Well basically, since both of our parents' house are just 20 minutes away, so we usually take turn to spend the Raya eve at whose parents' house first. So tahun ni dekat rumah my mom la.
It was a complete family and it was my lil sis's boy, Zidane's 1st raya! Memang excited la all 3 boys (we call them 3 Abdul) beraya this year.
And of course mesti la ada selfie Raya!
And as usual, we tried to take a proper family portrait. Ya Allah susah nya la nak manage my 2 boys yang dah agitated and tired. Both meragam.. Sorang nak rambut cacak, sorang tak nak pakai songkok!
In the end, we decided to put the kids aside and just take a photo of both of us aje:)
After dah makan Mama's customary nasi impit and kuah lodeh and sambal kacang, and also golek-golek ringankan perut, then we were off to Langat to beraya with Mr Judge's family pulak.
Not before the 3 Abdul pose for the camera!
Sampai Langat pulak, terus serang my MIL's famous Laksa Johor and rendang daging. Huish memang tak sempat nak snap pics la because if lambat habis licin semuanya.
Alhamdulillah this year we managed to gather with everyone to record this pictures!
Really love these pics so much!
Just in case you were wondering, my family #ootd (outfit of the day) are as follows:
Mine: Jubah Dress by Zawara that I wore during the Diamond Night 2014 ceremony
Mr Judge: Custom made Baju Melayu
Kids: Ready made Baju Melayu for kids by Bak Tailor & ready made samping by Omar Ali
Hope everyone had a great Hari Raya Aidilfitri as well.
Di kesempatan ini, I would like to minta maaf jika ada tersalah kata atau terkasar bahasa selama saya menulis blog ini. Maaf zahir & batin.

Hold onto your hats, ladies & gents, we've got an extra addition to the lineup of new features coming your way that we wrote about earlier this month. The title let the cat out of the bag here, but we can confirm it: Moto Maker is coming to Republic...or more appropriately, Republic is coming to Moto Maker. Customized Republic Moto X's will be available for order at 12:00 PM EST on April 1 in sweet wood grains, multitudes of colors and perhaps most excitingly with expanded storage to 32GB. So make way, Big 4, a phone that's already custom on the inside will now be customizable on the outside.
To celebrate, we're going to be offering a free upgrade to Bamboo or other wood finishes ($25 value) to the first 2,000 folks who register at Motorola.com/WoodYouBelieveIt starting at 11:00 AM EST on Tuesday, April 1. These lucky 2,000 will be issued a unique promo code that can be used on Moto Maker for a new custom Moto X with Republic. (Note that the code will expire 2 weeks later!)
There's been a lot of coordination going on behind the scenes between us and Motorola to make this happen, and we finally have the contractual clearance to share the news with you guys today. So let's get on with the details!
What new options will RW members have with Moto Maker?
Integrating with Moto Maker means lots of new options for folks, including a few highly sought-after features. For more information, check out our Moto Maker document here, but for now here are some of the highlights:
1. New color customization options, including wood backs and college themes
2. Two storage options - 16 and 32GB versions
3. Financing for qualified customers (as low as $25/month via Motorola)
4. Moto Care Accident Protection (via Motorola)
We know that #2 will be especially key for those of you who have added your voice to this ThinkTank thread. We're also hoping this will scratch the itch for folks who have been hankering for a Republic themed phone (our vote for a killer Republic design is bamboo back with green accent). Though we're still evaluating insurance and financing options straight from us, we're stoked that this will open up some new doors in that direction for folks.
(Our vote for a killer Republic Wireless Design!)
Should I expect the same experience after purchase?
In a nutshell: you'll still get the same Republic service no matter where you purchase your device. BUT buying from Moto Maker means you are getting your device direct from Motorola, and that does mean there are differences. Don't let that deter you though—just be aware that there are a handful of things that will differ. We'll hit on some highlights here so you're not surprised, but we encourage you to check out Motorola's T's and C's, Return/Refund policies, and Warranty Exchange.
- One key difference to be aware of: support for your device itself will be directly from Motorola going forward, while folks who got their device through Republic will get device support directly from Republic. (Support for service will go through us in both cases!).
- Another thing to be aware of is that Motorola offers a 14-day return policy rather than a 30 day return policy, so folks may want to be a bit snappier about testing.
- The last thing we want to remind folks about is that a device on Moto Maker will cost more, so expect to see some higher prices there. The base Moto Maker Moto X will be available starting at $349.99 and then prices for various extra features (wood backs, extra storage) get added in. Though more expensive than our standard white and black 16GB models on republicwireless.com, which retail for $299, these customized models can offer more flair and personality.
For those of you who recently purchased a Moto X from us, but would now prefer to purchase a customized device from Moto Maker—if you're within your 30-day return policy upon the release of Moto Maker, you're eligible to return your device for a refund and purchase directly from Moto Maker. If you're outside your return window, we're not able to offer any swaps or compensation, but given coming reactivations you'll be able to sell your device to a friend to fund your customized upgrade.
Concluding Thoughts
We are absolutely stoked that we are able to make Moto Maker available to you guys, and give you all the features that come with it. We've added and linked to a ton of info in our Community to help give you guys more context and information about Moto Maker, so if you're interested to learn more, check it out. Also, make sure to sign up tomorrow after 11:00AM EST on this Landing Page if you'd like to be one of the 2,000 folks to be eligible for the free wood back promo.
Let us know your thoughts and comments here.
P.S. Check out what aaronbaker has to say about Republic and Moto Maker:

Sunny days are a real treat, especially as winter approaches. They warm the heart, improve morale and now, they even provide a power source for many of those electronics that run our lives.
Smartphones, e-readers, cameras and music players all live in our pockets, purses and bags, get used a lot, and tend to run out of juice at the most annoying moments – for example, when you're on the road trying to make a sale.
Backup batteries abound, but most need a USB port or A/C plug to recharge them once they've provided a power transfusion to a hungry device.
But if you're nowhere near a plug, don't worry. The sun can often do the job.
Enter the PowerTrip, from Ottawa-based Ecosol. In a package about the size of a deck of cards, the PowerTrip houses a battery that you can top up via the usual USB port or wall socket (the plug swivels out from the side), or using the solar panel that fills most of one side. Just sit it on a sunny windowsill.
Like its USB-powered sibling, the PowerStick, it comes with several connectors that will feed devices with micro- or mini-USB ports, and it will connect to Apple devices. A fully charged PowerTrip can deliver five full charges to your smartphone; a microprocessor prevents phone damage from overcharging. I tested it with a BlackBerry, followed by a Kobo e-reader, both of which the PowerTrip handled with aplomb, with plenty of power left over for other devices. A power meter on the side of the battery shows the state of the charge.
The PowerTrip comes with a handy cloth bag that holds the battery and the connectors. The connectors plug into a full-sized USB port on the side of the PowerTrip, or you can just use a standard USB cable to charge devices instead.
Oh, yes – as an added bonus, it also has 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of memory. Prices start at $109 (U.S.) for the 4GB model.
Trickle charging your phone while on the go can help avoid those embarrassing moments when it cuts out in the middle of an important call. Several computer bags offer built-in solar panels for just that purpose.
The $159 solar backpack from Eclipse, for example, can provide up to four watts of power from the flexible panel on its front pocket. It connects to devices using a car charger adapter, and has enough power to feed a phone or music player; laptops, however, are beyond its scope.
Its padded computer pocket holds a laptop with a screen as big as 15 inches, and it also boasts a generous compartment for books and clothes, and several accessory pockets, including a front-zippered pouch that holds pens and CDs, and even has a removable clip for USB memory sticks or keys.
Either sunshine or room light can power the $89.99 Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750. It's a slim, flat little beast with solar cells across the top. Once it's charged, it can get by without a ray of light for up to three months. The press of a button on the keyboard lets you know whether ambient light is sufficient for charging and, if you've installed the Logitech software, it will also launch an app on your computer showing charging status and remaining power.
The keyboard talks to the computer via a tiny USB wireless transceiver that's small enough to remain in the port all the time and can also connect to other compatible devices. The touch is surprisingly good, with slightly concave keys.
There are, of course, devices that want fresh batteries inserted from time to time, rather than allowing themselves to be recharged. There's a sunny solution to that issue too: the C. Crane Solar Powered Battery Charger. The device's battery charging time varies, depending on the type and capacity of the battery, from a couple of hours to several days.
The lid of the charger can be positioned to catch maximum rays, and there's a little meter inside the unit showing battery charge.Report Typo/Error

It's the size of the tyre used that determines the answer to this question
The larger the diameter of the wheel means that the profile (sidewall of the tyre) MUST be reduced.
I have a couple of shots that I can show you
Now on an 18" wheel the correct size tyre is a 225/40 18 ( we'll keep it simple and say non staggered)
Standard size tyre on a E36 318IS is 205/60 15
As the images clearly show, you can easily go from a 15" to an 18" and the speedo when using the correct size tyre is barely affected.
However, use the incorrect tyre and boom!!! Goodbye license
Using a 225/30 20 I was able to fit 20" wheels to my Coupe
Pop315 (24-06-2010)
When you are using a Chassis Dyno, you will input the tyre size.
The wheel/tyre size will affect the wheel torque.
Smaller wheels will increase wheel torque and decrease ground speed.
This will mean small wheels will make your acceleration better but reduce top speed. It is another gear system to be acounted for.
Power is not affected by gear ratio, so power will be same.
If there is large changes in rotating mass, this can remove wheel power.
To imagine this, think of big solid steel wheels. The dyno will look at slower acceleration, and the car has less wheel power.
When calculation engine power from the drivetrain, the extra momentum will be measured, so a big correction will be made, and engine power will be OK.
tyre pressures also play a part too but that ties in with the tyre sizes a little bit

All things equal do you think the bees prefer any colors over other colors?
With no experience with this I would guess they would prefer gray like tree bark. But may not matter at all.
All things equal do you think the bees prefer any colors over other colors?
With no experience with this I would guess they would prefer gray like tree bark. But may not matter at all.
I had hives with supers that were white, blue, blue green and yellow. I did not have any problems. If you mean what hives they go in. I'm sure they wouldn't care if their hive color was changed.
Good enough is perfect - Joel Salatin
White is traditional but the bees don't really care. Depending on where you are you may want to use lighter colours. I am in Maine do I am trying some darker colours to see how they do.
I have hives that are white, red, green, blue, and pink.
I have read (I believe on Randy Oliver's web site) that without landmarks bees may tend to drift to the hives at the end of the row. I generally buy mis-tints from Wal-mart.
Have a good day.
I've heard it suggested they use patterns on the front to distinguish hives, and old european hives sometimes had designs or pictures painted on them for that purpose. Or make the beekeeper feel better. One of those.
What you didn't ask, but I'll spout off on anyway because I'm in the middle of playing with it: If you are in a cold climate, a dark color will keep your hive measurably warmer at times the sun is shining on it. I'm making some measurements on an empty hive, but don't have them finished yet-- I'd guess a dark face to the sun will be about 10 F warmer for several hours on calm sunny days, no advantage nights or cloudy days. If nothing else, I'm hoping it will help them get outside for cleansing flights after they're stuck inside for up to two months like last winter, but I'd also expect it will help reduce winter stores needs. Tar paper fans are doing the same thing in part, but this also helps in fall and spring when the hives are unwrapped. An interesting idea would be to paint the south and west sides dark, other two light. At the peak of summer heat, rotate the bodies so the light sides get the sunlight, all other times have the warm-absorbing sides facing the sun. I understand southerners are better off with lighter colors; I get temps below 0F and freezing for weeks at a time.
edited- repaired punctuation.
Sorry I should have said color for swarm traps, do you thing they prefer on color over another when looking for a new home?
Would a bright color swam trap get the scout bee's attention first, or a nature bark/tree color be preferred as hidden and protected, or the temp of the inside resulting from the outside color.
I have no idea what color swarm trap is most desirable from a bees pov. Maybe Tom Seeley does.
Mark Berninghausen
I try to attract as little attention as possible. The bees have to be finding the traps by smell. If people see them they will want to look at them, mess with them, or shoot at them. I paint mine a pale gray color that doesn't stand out.

An entry in the bike documents is possible for reasons of convenience, but not required.
For new models it may be the case that, owing to reasons of time, the operating permit has not yet been updated with the Federal Motor Transport Authority - in this case, the kit is then supplied with a TÜV part certificate and the tester (TÜV, Dekra, etc.) must certify the proper installation before use on public roads.
This test certificate must then be carried while driving, similar to the operating permit.

Colts Triumph, 26-0, as Giants Suffer Their First Shutout in Five Years; MORRALL THROWS FOR TWO SCORES Ex-Giant Hits on 16 of 24 Passes and Moves Colts 9 of 14 Times on 3d Down
By WILLIAM N. WALLACE ();
November 04, 1968,
, Section , Page 62, Column , words
The offense of the New York Giants, the team's leading asset that earlier in the season had been scoring close to 40 points a game, ground to a halt yesterday at Yankee Stadium. The Baltimore Colts beat the Giants, 26-0, and it was the first time in five years, covering 76 games, that the New York club had failed to score a point.
