NM aww-rats
USCF also has a Life Master title. There are two ways to get it. The old way is/was to have 300 games played where you started and completed a tournament at or above 2200. I was around 295 games completed when I stopped playing tournaments in 1996. Once a Life Master, your published rating will never go below 2200. Now, I notice I have the CM title because I did enough above 2000 to qualify for it. not quite certain what's needed for the new LM title, but I should at least be able to get the old LM title if I ever return to OTB play. Just need about 5 games and even if I drop the first try, I should be able to go back up sooner or later.
its still 300 games aww-rats which is quite an achievement. they had for a short time the Life master norm thing that was totally absurd. requiring 3 2200 performances in 5 round events. So some experts figured out they can create small hand picked events with 1900 ish players and gain their norms with a perfect score. It might be hard to do this in an open event but if you play the same people you can nail them down opening wise and create 5 or 6 events and bam theres your rating floor and NM title . you also didnt have to complete the event either just get the 2200 performance.
I would hope you get your LM title I feel that 300 games at the 2200 level is a serious achievement.
ya i just know some "masters" that make a living off telling everyone they are Masters that were infact perma-experts. I find the ethics a bit shady when the tournaments to achieve the norms were handpicked players and so obviously made for one purpose. Clever use of the rules but its easy to see why they discontinued it.
As far as the paper goes its just like any paper or achievement even diplomas are just paper.
saw you played a Young Shirazi in a rapid event,... ouch. that guy was amazing at fast time controls. Watched him and then FM Cy Lakdawala go at it in San diego in the late 80's brutal.
USCF also has a Life Master title. There are two ways to get it.
The LM title and a dime won't even get you that phone call any more-when I got mine in 1986, USCF sent on a certificate. Yawn. Then it was on to the next game. Maybe one day I'll bother to send chess.com's admins my FIDE number so that I can get the coloured banner too, but I couldn't care less.
USCF discontinued that silly norm-based system long ago, so the only way home will be to play 300 games at master level.
Send it on to them. I got a complmentary Diamond when I sent proof and made a coaching page.
yeah if I ever get a title (GM is my goal even if I acheive it when I am 80, which would be cool[hopefuly not some honorary BS either, real deal or nothing]) the first thing I would do is send in my FIDE number and get the complimentary membership.
That was a tough event-lost to two IMs (Rind was the other) and drew with Manik, after letting him out in a won ending. I figured Dzindzhi was odds-on to win that but he somehow lost to Manik. Dzin was a terror in quick play; I remember playing him at Harvard in the late 1980s and he'd lazily play his moves as though he had five hours instead of five minutes. With a little more drive, he had the knowledge and understanding to become a Candidate. His comprehension was frightening.
Lazy, distracted, etcetera.
He made the top 10 in the FIDE list. Pretty much a monster. That ain't hay.
Agreed he is funny to watch in his videos and his approach is quite unique. I think sometimes he forgets that us normal players lack the technique and understanding to pull off some of his ideas though.
Interesting to see what results come up for Google searched questions.

Zadkovich on the mend
22 Sep 2008 - 17:09:29
Australia international Ruben Zadkovich hopes he will be able to make his Derby County debut shortly.
The 22-year-old midfielder moved to Pride Park in April but has yet to feature in Paul Jewell's first-team plans after being forced to undergo a double hernia operation.
"Fortunately for me it was quite a minor operation, and my rehab is going well so I shouldn't be too far away," he told the Rams' official website.
"I'm settling in quite well and obviously it's good to be around the boys, to be getting to know them, and I hope to get back from my injury and be able to do my best for the team.
"It's good for the team to have picked up some good results of late and hopefully now we can go on to something more positive."

Dahr Jamail, a TomDispatch regular, has reported from Iraq and writes for Inter Press Service, Le Monde Diplomatique, and other outlets. He is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq and the forthcoming book The Will To Resist: Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. His website is
"Fear, arbitrary arrests, indiscriminate bombing, killing, an uncertain future—this is the new democratic Iraq."
How will climate change affect the future of the planet? Scientists predict it will be nothing short of a nightmare.
Conditions in Iraq, not surprisingly, bear little resemblance to the fantasyland touted by America's recent presidents.
Under the Ft. Hood headlines, a stressed-out Army pushes stressed-out soldiers back into the war zones.
A single platoon lost in a military limbo is a measurement of the stress under which the US Army now operates.
The ongoing dissent that does exist in the US military, however fragmented and overlooked at the moment, should not be discounted.
The war in Iraq has caused one of the most severe refugee crises in
history, and no one seems to be paying attention.
Despite talk of civil war, Sunnis and Shiites seem more united than divided.
This article is an edited excerpt from Jamail's weblog for the New Standard News.

adidas D Rose 4.5 – Black – Silver by Brendan Dunne 0 Comments
January 15, 2014 BY Brendan Dunne / 2
The adidas D Rose 4.5 is a sneaker that looks to be immediately more graphic than its predecessor, as the handful of colorways that we've seen so far all have that striping across their upper. It turns out that this particular pair is a team up with Argentine footballer and FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi. This isn't the first time that we've seen the worlds of basketball and soccer foootwear crossing over though, as a certain Mambacurial pair of Swoosh shoes might remind you. Continue reading for more on these new Derrick Rose sneakers and let us know if you're excited to try out the upcoming D Rose 4.5.

The question will be one similar to facebook versus Google+. If twitch can embed itself and provide a product solid enough to stifle a competitor, then Google will not be able to step in. If Google creates a better product that is easier, faster, and more reliable, then major content will shift to it.
Youtube and Twitch have a symbiotic relationship currently. The watchers stream via twitch because it has a robust subscription, chat, and streaming service. They go to Youtube for their Videos on Demand because Twitches VoD system is slower and harder to navigate, harder to keep your subscriptions in order, etc.
But one could quickly engulf the other if they can tune up their products the right way.

Reviews for The Traveller |
The-Shepherd's-Daughter chapter 7 . 12/18/2012 Excellent, truly excellent! Congratulations, ladybrit! That is one of the best Gunsmoke fics I have read so far. So original and insightful, especially bringing in an outsider into the world of Gunsmoke, an idea that I envy you thought first. :) I cannot stand when people change the era in which the characters are in, but placing a mysterious character like Thomas Kedworth, who is from this day and age, into the world of Dodge is not only interesting. but shows good judgement in characterization. In a very short time, you made me like Thomas and his mysterious origins, and perhaps make me want to know even more about him and his adventures. I also want to applaud your handling of Matt and Kitty's relationship, especially by leaving it as it is seen in the show. I really am finding it rather annoying when people change their relationship into the average love story... It is so much more than that! Anyway, you writing style has matured very much since I read "The Knife". And your portrayal of all the characters was SPOT ON! I am looking forward to reading more of your work! Keep it up! :) Kitty |
Guest chapter 7 . 7/25/2012 LadyBrit, Loved the premise. You showed a person from the future that did nothing to change the technology in Dodge City. He had some interesting thoughts about our favorite people. char |
cheyenne1963 chapter 7 . 7/18/2012 I enjoyed this story and what a twist. I wonder if we could go back in time were people would go and why and what they would do when they got there. This was truly a great and unique story and I hope to read more from you soon. |
Judy H chapter 7 . 7/15/2012 Once again you have put together a charming little insight into those Dodge characters. Thank you. |
Smokin chapter 7 . 7/16/2012 I enjoyed this very unique approach to Gunsmoke fan fic! |
tjp chapter 7 . 7/16/2012 Fantastic story. Love the time traveler. I think it would be nice to see a reappearance from him sometime in the future. Janie |
rosebudlady chapter 7 . 7/15/2012 This sort of reminded me of Sam Beckett in "Quantum Leap." He never knew why he was there until he had solved the problem. Fun story. |

Larry Drew II enrolls at UCLA
Larry Drew II, the point guard who abruptly left North Carolina mid-season, has enrolled at UCLA for the spring quarter.
More On UCLA
For the latest news on UCLA, check out ESPN Los Angeles' blog on the Bruins. Blog
Drew, a former standout at Taft High in Woodland Hills, Calif., left the Tar Heels on Feb. 4, issuing a statement that said only "it's in my best interest to continue my education and basketball career elsewhere."
Drew began taking classes at UCLA on Monday and has to pay his own tuition this quarter because UCLA does not have any open scholarships, but he is expected to participate in all off-season workouts and join the Bruins as a scholarship player next season.
"It feels great to be back home," Drew said in a statement released by the school. "I had a great learning experience at North Carolina and they taught me a lot. I'm looking forward to getting a fresh start at UCLA and I'm happy to be a Bruin. Next year will give me time to focus on my academics and of course, train with the team."
Tyler Honeycutt's decision to leave school and enter the NBA draft opens up a scholarship for coach Ben Howland. Drew, a junior, will have to sit out the 2011-12 season because of NCAA transfer rules and will have one year of eligibility remaining. He will re-join former North Carolina teammates David and Travis Wear, who transferred to UCLA last year.
Drew was averaging 4.4 points and 3.9 assists in 22.8 minutes at the time he left North Carolina, but had recently been replaced by freshman Kendall Marshall as North Carolina's starting point guard. At the time, Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said he was shocked by the player's unexpected departure.
Drew averaged 8.5 points and 5.9 assists in 28.8 minutes as a sophomore and led North Carolina to the NIT championship game.
He is the son of Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew, who played 10 years in the NBA, including stints with the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.

April Ashley receives MBE for services to trans rights

Reader comments
I thought Michael Dillon was the first (he had it 1946-9), followed by Roberta Cowell in the early 50's? I could be wrong though.
Charles, you are quite correct. Unfortunately it is lazy journalism. I see it a lot.
also the line about 'undergoing" surgery, most times its a liberation
Well, at least the Establishment (however you might choose to define it) isn't excluding the T in LGBT any more. Better late than never.
Good on you April. Ava would have been so pleased with you.
Could not happen to a nicer lady.. :-)
It's nice to see a "T" pioneer and icon be feted and honored!
NO one could marry? Not even trans women attracted to women? Or similarly for trans men?
This news just made my day. I am overjoyed that this woman is being given such an honour. Absolutely brilliant.
I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention that it was because of the judgement in the Corbet v Corbet divorce case that marriages today are null if both partners are the same gender (on their birth certificates).
This might have been a mere oversight if were not for the headlines in recent days on the proposal to right this wrong **by re-storing same-sex marriage**. It's worth stating that the so-called "traditional" requirement that the couple be of opposite genders is less than fifty years old, and a large part of the justification for a SS marriage bill is to allow many other April Ashleys to be able to transition without annulling their marriages.
"Born in Liverpool in 1935, she underwent gender confirmation surgery in Morocco in 1960″
typo error, should read :
"Born in Liverpool in 1935, he underwent genital mutilation in Morocco in 1960."If you are born male you remain male.Sadly the Emperor's New Clothes attitude of going along with the fantasy of someones disorder, is deeply damaging to the individual involved.Would you lie to an anorexic (eating disorder) and say 'Oh yes, you really are obese !' ?
I'm glad to hear that you were born in the right body and you identified with the gender you were given.
Unfortunately that's not the case for some individuals. You sound as if you haven't met any one who
is transgender, perhaps you should open your closet door a tad and have a peek into the real world.
No sure how you can compare being anorexic to being transgender?-
*not sure*
Whatever, Ray. Enjoy the sense of security your tiny uncompassionate mind brings you. It's a big world out there. We are not all the same. People who cling desperately to 'normal' sexual stereotypes are often "struggling" with same-sex attraction. This sounds like you, no? Have a think and let us know..

For about 1% of NRIS original coordinates, experience has shown that one or both coordinates are typos or otherwise extremely far off; some corrections may have been made. A more subtle problem causes many locations to be off by up to 150 yards, depending on location in the country: most NRIS coordinates were derived from tracing out latitude and longitudes off of USGS topographical quadrant maps created under the North American Datum of 1927, which differs from the current, highly accurate WGS84 GPS system used by most on-line maps. Chicago is about right, but NRIS longitudes in Washington are higher by about 4.5 seconds, and are lower by about 2.0 seconds in Maine. Latitudes differ by about 1.0 second in Florida.

Applied Biosystems Helps China Respond to Melamine Contamination in Dairy Products
29 Jan 2009
Applied Biosystems, part of Life Technologies Corporation, a provider of innovative life science research and discovery solutions, has announced that the Chinese government and two leading food manufacturers are implementing its mass spectrometry-based technologies for food analysis as part of efforts to identify and contain the spread of melamine in the food supply.
Melamine contamination in dairy products is getting widespread attention following recent media reports of outbreaks in China and other countries. More than 94,000 infants and young children have been treated for health issues related to tainted infant formula and other products. China is responding to this issue with a series of actions that include increased food safety testing.
Melamine is a synthetic substance generally used in making plastics and fertilizer. The nitrogen-rich molecule is sometimes illegally added to consumer and animal food products in order to increase their apparent protein content. Melamine is known to cause renal and urinary problems in humans and animals; therefore, its use in food production is universally banned.
The Chinese government and industry are taking action to protect a broad range of food products and animal feed, through enhanced testing procedures that require laboratory instrumentation capable of precise identification of melamine and other contaminants.
The Chinese General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and two dairy manufacturers – Shanxi Gucheng and Yashili Dairy Company – are leading the efforts to establish the highest standards of food safety. These organisations recently deployed five API 3200™ mass spectrometry systems, which scan, identify and measure the quantity of various food contaminants. These systems deliver high sensitivity, selectivity, speed and reliability of results in laboratory analysis, enabling rapid detection and ultimately stronger enforcement of food safety regulations.
"Life Technologies' vision is to apply our depth of scientific technologies throughout the global community to help improve the human condition," said Greg Lucier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Life Technologies. "In a recent meeting with the Chinese Minister of Health, Dr. Zhu Chen, I conveyed our readiness to use the full spectrum of Applied Biosystems and Invitrogen-branded solutions in support of the Chinese government's efforts in food safety testing initiatives. We are committed to working with governments and industry to address some of society's most critical challenges through the application of biology."
These recent deployments of AB SCIEX mass spectrometry systems expand a growing network of systems, specialised software and test methods, developed specifically for China. These solutions are being utilised by the government at various branches of the China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureaus, contract testing laboratories and food manufacturers.
The issue of melamine contamination has not been limited to China. Incidents have been reported in a number of countries, including its recent discovery in trace amounts in infant formula in the United States. This has led to a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration threshold of one part per million of melamine for infant formula to be considered safe for consumption. Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies' mass spectrometry systems, including the AB SCIEX 5500 systems and the API 3200 system, are capable of identifying melamine at the lowest possible levels of detection.
"Food safety is one of the most important issues for government agencies and industry around the world," said Laura Lauman, President of Life Technologies' mass spectrometry systems division. "AB SCIEX mass spectrometry solutions are playing a critical role in helping China and other countries, including the United States, to ensure the safety of food being produced for consumption inside their borders and abroad."

If you purchased the gun with a credit card you can always use your buyers protection. I had problems with Kel Tec jerking me around. After a conference call with a consumer advocate from my credit card company Kel Tec had my pistol back to me in two weeks, after jerking me around for five months. Anytime I purchase a gun NIB or a used gun with a warranty I use my credit card. If you pay cash you have no advocate. You are on your own!
You could look at buying a used barrel off of someone or checking your local sporting goods stores such as Dicks, Dunhams, Cabelas, Bass Pro etc. They usually carry them.
I looked at 870s a few years ago and the fit n finish were terrible for the express models. They are rough models. Went back second time and the matte finish was uniform, fit was good, it was night/day comparison. I prefer 28" barrels or longer. (swings smoother) For Remington Express 20 ga - if you want 28" you get synthetic stocks. My first shotgun w/o wood stocks. Jury still out on syn stocks but I did notice more face slap. Put kick eez on stock - will see if it helps. Insides were very rough and completely dry. If you want a super smooth pump w good wood n high gloss finish buy a WingMaster and pay the extra $$$. Express is a NO frills, bare bones hunting or SD gun.
Guys, One final update--and thanks again for the good feedback. I got the new barrel about a week ago, at the same time unfortunately that winter moved in. I shot it four times and it extracted three--so that is alot better than zero out of four with the original barrel! I bought the gun for SD, but until I get better performance I obviously can't use it for that. Hoping that winter will break and I can shoot it again. But I will be very careful about buying any sort of Freedom Group product again. Heard from a reliable source that Remington now has a new army contract so it may be more reason for them to cheapen up quality control for their civilian products. It is a shame with such a good name!
I have a Remington 870 that was bought in the late 90's (express model) that works like a top but my buddy has one bought around 2002 that seems to jam all the time. I assume is has to do with the barrel and the chamber but I also find he racks his slide like my sister... I put some Hoppe's Elite Oil on the dual action rails and it helped smooth it out a lot. I then put a drop of Remoil on my finger tip and rubbed it around in the chamber area of his barrel with great results... Shells slide in and out quite a bit more smoothly and it jams much much less often... Still.. no good for self defense... Mine, thankfully, hasn't missed a beat...
I'm proud of the last two posters! Despite owning 870's you aren't pretending they are "good enough" for self defense. A particular defense gun must be proven reliable. Function flawlessly. Period. Not work most of the time. Not almost never fail. If it isn't 100% it isn't a defense gun. And if that's why you have it, and you can't trust it without any doubt, get rid of the 870...
Never had a problem with mine. A buddy of mine has 1,000 of rounds through his. He has never cleaned it and it stays in his truck tool box. He has also never had a problem.
Rather than knocking the 870 why not post knowledgeable and constructive remedies to the problem instead of just posting a sort of what appears to be a snob elitist rush saying to to just dump it?
I did take mine apart and it was bone dry when I bought it. I took Flitz to the slide rails and oiled them. I also used flitz to polish bolt group n chamber. I was trying to smooth it out but to be brutally honest, it didn't help much that I could tell - smoothness wise. PIA to reassemble 20 ga. The roughness of the interior was something you could feel w your fingers. I asked my gunsmith if I should try to stone it but he advised against it. He confirmed 20s were PIA to reassemble which made me feel a wee bit better... He also told me to oil it and then kick back n watch TV and cycle it like a teenager w first gun. This will wear it in & that's about as good as it will get & safer than stoning. Note: Not classic Wingmaster smooth but it will cycle anything I feed it. Have no issue w calling it a SD gun. Was actually looking for an 18" tube for SD w sights or rifled slug barrel but budget limited. Is it luck of the draw ? Cleaning ? Flitz? Cycling ? Or all of the above. No idea - it just my .02
I have issues with any 870 express. I am used to shooting a Mossberg that I don't have to pull back on the forestock. Recoil ejects the shell and pops the new shell on the loader. I only have to push the forestock forwards. With an 870 I have to pull the forestock back to make the gun cycle. Not adequate! Not to mention the dustcover/loader that gets in my way when topping off. One should not have to take their eyes off the target to top off the magazine.

From WMATA:
"This weekend, Metro's escalator contractor will install major components of the first new entrance escalator at Bethesda Station.
Bethesda's entrance escalators are the second longest in the Western Hemisphere. Throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday, large gantries will move and position nine large sections of escalator truss. In addition, two motors, each the size of a small car, will also be moved into the escalator pit and will replace the outdated six-motor configuration that powered the original escalator. Control systems and other equipment also will be delivered this weekend.
To support this work, on Saturday, February 21 and Sunday, February 22, Bethesda Station will be temporarily closed so that construction crews can safely install, align and mechanically fasten the escalator truss sections. For safety reasons, the work, which will take nearly 52 consecutive hours, cannot take place with customers nearby. (more…)

"MD Court of Special Appeals rules it will hear arguments in Adnan Syed case in June session."
MD Court of Appeals Order (PDF)
From Serial:
"Now that the appellate court has granted this order, what happens next is that, in its June session, a panel of judges will hear oral arguments from Adnan's side, and also from the state. Neither side can bring in new evidence or witnesses. Then the court will either deny or grant Adnan further relief. That relief could be a whole new trial in the circuit court, or it could be that the circuit court just has to allow Adnan to present new evidence."
Big score for Mount Rainer!

From a press release:
"Soaring 175 feet above the Potomac River waterfront at National Harbor, The Capital Wheel, set to debut in May 2014, will join a growing number of large-scale observation wheels around the globe as an iconic, world-class attraction.
From its dynamic location at the end of a pier overlooking the river, The Capital Wheel will offer riders a spectacular view of the Nation's Capital "from a new perspective," according to National Harbor developer Peterson Companies. Sights visible from The Capital Wheel include the White House and Capitol, the National Mall, Arlington Cemetery and the lush parklands throughout the DC-Maryland-Virginia region.
With its 42 closed, climate-controlled gondolas, each seating eight, The Capital Wheel will operate year-round, as do observation wheels in other locales, where they have boosted economic development and prestige. The Capital Wheel is expected to attract 600,000 – 800,000 visitors annually.
The London Eye quickly became the United Kingdom's most popular paid tourist attraction, averaging 10,000 visitors daily and some 3.75 million annually. A popular location for films and TV shows, it also hosts events as diverse as corporate launches, weddings and fashion shoots.
In similar fashion, The Capital Wheel will host a variety of public, corporate and private events, with catering available by Wolfgang Puck, whose team will provide creative seasonal concessions."

Last Friday we learned that "MGM Resorts International (MGM), the largest owner of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, was picked by Maryland regulators to build a $925 million resort south of Washington" at the National Harbor.
From MGM National Harbor:
"At National Harbor, we envision far more than just a casino. We will call on our years of worldwide resort experience to design a fully-appointed Destination Resort Casino that specifically respects the atmosphere of Prince George's County and meets the needs of the sophisticated Maryland marketplace.
MGM National Harbor would be designed and operated at the same level of quality as our other iconic hotels, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, ARIA, The Mirage and others. The design and aesthetics would reflect the history and geography of the area, complementing the already successful development and increasing the allure for out-of-state visitors.
While the work of our designers is still underway, our vision for a National Harbor Destination Resort Casino would include:
a luxury hotel
fine dining from local and celebrity chefs
world-class entertainment
shops from among the finest retailers in the world
a luxurious spa
These and other attractive resort offerings would combine to create the complete MGM Resorts experience. Anyone who has ever visited one of our resorts understands the uniqueness of what we offer. MGM National Harbor would be no different."
The National Harbor is located in Prince George's county at 165 Waterfront St. Directions from DC say "Take I-295 South for approximately 5.5 miles Take National Harbor Exit 1B". The casino is expected to open in 2016.
So for this week's FQotD – do you think you guys will visit/gamble there when they open?

I thought this article was worth a gander:http://www.reuters.com/article/idUST...3?pageNumber=1
IMO, the Honey Bee collapse is due in large part to GM crops from companies like Monsanto. Huge tracts of this country are planted with these crops such as the Monsanto/Bayer GM crops and the effect is known to be toxic to honey bees and other bees. Scorched Earth pesticides in either GM crops or pesticides on their own kill indiscriminately. Ahhh, the joys on monoculture agriculture. EPA approved clothianidin despite evidence of extreme toxicity to honey bee populations:http://www.infiniteunknown.net/tag/bayer/
Food Inc is an interesting Documentary, there is a whole section on Monsanto and there not so nice treatment of farmers
Most of the "modern" problems arise from trying to attain unnatural results from one of the most quintessential "natural" creatures... modern hive and comb design and modern production expectation and hive management practices account for much of the problems. Here's a decent link or two, there are dozens like them if you search: http://www.davesbees.com/anap.htmlhttp://www.thewarrestore.com/qualityconstruction.htm The first is about top bar hives (I just made one of 1X12 pine, working up another made of 7/8" cherry), the second is a Warre' (Wau-RAY) design. I'm also planning a Warre', as well as a "Frankenhive" (look it up, really neat) along with a conventional Langstroth hive. I'm excited about the prospects of using my own honey. It's quite a fascinating undertaking. I highly recommend it to anyone anywhere. Search for the guy in the heart of Chicago that keeps bees on a rooftop. Good video, good story. EDIT: Oops, the Warre' link is for their hive construction... here's for the philosophy: http://www.thewarrestore.com/warrebeekeeping.htm Sorry about that.
Some knowledge will never be shared, not from a desire to conceal it, but because it is so common to the individual that it is assumed to be already known. Primary: Chardonel Secondary: Apfelwein, Chambourcin, Blackstone Pond American Ale, King of the North, Concord, 2nd wine from pulp of both Bottled: Bavarian Hefeweizen, Dortmunder, King of the North (2010), Apfelwein (2010), Lesser Wilderness Mead (2010), King of the North (2nd wine - 2010)
don't get to caught up in different hive design. bees are fairly hardy, they live in just about anything. tall and skinny (eg warre) is not necessary a good or bad size/shape. theres more to it, hive population, temperatures, temperature variations etc. langstroth is fine IF your running a decent size colony, but a lot of commercial operators runs their hives weak. one thing i really do like with the warre hives is it removes moisture with its ventilation system. a well insulated roof which cuts down on heat and noise. thick insulating boxes also makes it easier for the bees to control the heat. the less heat control work the house bees have to do the more they can do on other hive/brood work. one of the biggest "problems" of modern beekeeping is transporting beehives. its hugely stressful at the best of times. then most commercial operates will keep hives undersized to be able to transport them which adds further stress.
Unfortunately, nobody knows what causes CCD. There are many suspects, but most if not all have been ruled out as "the" cause. It may be that the search for "the" cause is flawed, in that no single factor causes it, but a combination of many: bee transport, neonicotinoids and other pesticides used in ag, pesticides used by beekeepers themselves, exotic parasites and hive pests, et cetera. Perhaps scariest, as pointed out in this article, is that population decline/collapse among pollinators isn't limited to the artificially maintained populations of honeybees. As to the health of populations of wild pollinators we have only scratched the surface. The one thing that is certain is that a continuing decline in pollinators is ultimately catastrophic.

Opena Case: Open beers and protect your iPhone 4/4S
So, where would you expect an iPhone case that also opens beers to come from? If you guessed Australia, you're absolutely correct. I first heard about the Opena Case (AUD$39.95) when it was a Kickstarter project, and now that they're in production, I really wanted to try one.
What better device to use to open up a frosty bottle of Fat Tire than an Opena? Like Shimmer, which was both a floor wax and a dessert topping, the Opena is a bottle opener and an iPhone case.
The case is easy to snap onto your iPhone 4/4S and holds on tight. In fact, I had a bit of trouble trying to get the hard case off of my iPhone 4S until I figured out that I could push the phone out from the hole in the back of the case. It's made of an extremely hard polycarbonate/ABS material that feels like it could withstand the bite of an Australian Saltwater Crocodile with no problems, with a stainless steel bottle opener that slides out smoothly.
Although it seems a little expensive for a case, the Opena is built like a tank while still remaining relatively thin. I used the review case to open a bottle of beer for yesterday's TUAW TV Live (see video below, starting at 6:45), and then handed the phone and case to a bartender at a local burger joint so she could try it out. Since then, I've done a lot of research opening beer bottles and I give the Opena a definite thumbs-up. It's a little late to order one for Christmas, but hey -- it'll make a heck of a New Year's gift.

The Space
Lovely garden-themed bedroom with private bathroom in a gorgeous pre-war building in the quiet McGinley Square neighborhood of Jersey City. Free wifi, shared kitchen with friendly homeowners. Short walk, cab, or bus ride to train station into NYC, where unlimited options for fun await you! A very affordable and comfortable alternative to the cramped and expensive hotels of NYC.
We are ideally located in quiet Jersey City, on the other side of the Hudson River from Manhattan. We have a metro (PATH train) stop that is a 13-minute walk (or 5 minute cab or bus ride--the bus picks up on our corner) from the apartment that takes you to Manhattan in 15 minutes. The PATH train runs 24 hours a day, every 4 min during rush hour, every 10 min most of the rest of the day. There are stops at the World Trade Center, the West Village, Chelsea, and Midtown.
Our location is VERY convenient to Newark Airport and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan (a bus from there drops you off right on our corner).
If you like to run or walk, lovely Lincoln Park is only a 5 minute walk away. There's a pond (with turtles!), tennis courts, basketball courts, and a running track.
The garden room is sunny and bright in the mornings, but the blinds make it nice and dark at night. Sheets and towels are provided, and will be replaced once a week. Help yourself to coffee and tea whenever you like.
If you are arriving late in the evening, we would be happy to provide a continental breakfast for your first morning. After that, your meals are up to you. There are lots of grocery store options nearby, and we will have a shelf in the pantry and in the refrigerator for you to store your own food. You are welcome to use our dishes, pots and pans, oven, microwave, toaster oven, and dishwasher.
Please note: We have a very gentle pug dog (small) and a nearly-invisible cat--just want to be clear about that in case you have allergies.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to our completely equipped kitchen, and of course to the private bathroom and guest room with lots of storage space: a closet, an armoire, and a large trunk.
Interaction with Guests
We are very mindful of guests' privacy, but always available to answer questions or offer local advice.
--Although we are flexible about when guests can check in and check out, we require that you tell us your arrival time at least 24 hours before you come. We both work outside the home and often need to make special arrangements for week-day arrivals.
--We charge a replacement fee of $75 for lost keys.
--We have a very gentle, friendly cat and a sweet pug dog, so we'd definitely like our guests to be pet lovers and non-allergic.
--If you are staying in the whole apartment while we are out of town, only the cat will be here and you are welcome to use the entire apartment (sleeps 8-10). If we are here, we will be limiting our rental space to just the bedroom with private bath + the kitchen.
--Feel free to use our kitchen, and store food in the fridge and pantry. There are supermarkets and produce markets nearby. We provide a continental breakfast for your first morning if you arrive late in the evening, but after that your meals are up to you. Coffee and tea available whenever you like.
--Absolutely no smoking in the apartment, please.
--Laundry: There is a laundry room in the basement of our building.
--Parking: You can usually find parking on the street (free) near our building during the day. It can be hard to find a spot in the evening after everyone has come home. There is also a parking garage (~10 dollars/day) near Journal Square (PATH train station) that is a 10-minute walk from our apartment if you prefer covered parking.
Thank you for looking at our listing and please feel free to email us with ANY questions!
Best wishes, Meredith and Richard
Plenty of room to rest and unwind.
Meredith and Richard were great hosts, I can't recommend them enough. They made us feel comfortable during all our staying. They were very helpful prior our arrival (directions, taxi number, and even getting us in touch with a realtor agent), during (they gave us advice about rentals, places to visit in NYC and Jersey City, maps, tips of where to buy groceries, etc.) and after (they helped us moving our luggage to our new destination).
The room is clean, beautifully decorated, bright and spacious. The bathroom also was clean and it had all the basic stuff you might need.
You can't go wrong with these guys. 100% recommended.
Thanks Meredith and Richard, we really hope to see you again soon :)
We really appreciate your kind review, and have our fingers crossed that we will get to be neighbors!
We had a _very_ pleasant stay with Meredith and Richard in Jersey City!
We can't imagine anything to be improved by them as hosts, we got everything we needed for our stay, a map of the surroundings with their favorite shops, bars & markets, their personal recommendations for everything around exploring NYC and much more. Meredith and Richard are very welcoming and helped us out with whatever we needed, for example using the laundry in the building.
The room and bath were perfect, bright, very clean and spacious. We had storage for all our luggage and a big table for our meals. Even hotter summer temperatures were no problem thanks to the AC. The big kitchen has everything you need and more for cooking, making coffee or tea or just to meet the hosts or Cooper, their dog, and Martha, their cat. (And if you might have any problems with pets, you won't even notice them if you don't want to. ;) )
We can highly recommend to stay here, it's a great and quit place just outside the hustle of NYC. (Via the nearby PATH station you're in the heart of Manhattan in around 20 minutes.)
Thanks again Meredith & Richard, once we're back around NYC we know where to look first!
Thanks for your great review, Philipp! Hope you two had a smooth trip home and that all is going well with you. Come again!
we love staying with Meredith and Richard , it was 1st time to stay in NJ and not in Hotel it was very successful trial , their house is very clean very organized and cozy. they have very pleasant Starbucks coffee.we love them any time will visit NYC we will stay with them.
Thank you, Mona! We will see you again soon, and in the meantime, we hope that your journey back home will be smooth.
I would give Meredith and Richard 10/5 if I could. My flight was delayed because of hurricane Sandy from Monday October 29th till Thursday November 1st. I had a bit of difficulty reaching their building with no power in most of Jersey city and no mobile reception, but they have done the impossible and got me there safely. They have helped me with maps, how to get to places which busses to take, even gave me a few things to help me out to the other pace I was supposed to settle in. If it wasn't for hurricane Sandy and the PATH and NJ trains not working, I would have stayed with Meredith and Richard till the end of December and just got to work daily by train... I am really gonna miss you guys... I truly felt like home with you, if things were only different ..no hurricane and trains running I would have never left, but rather stay with you guys and travel 2 hours or more to get to work, because I know its worth it. I only wish if that would possible :(
It was such a pleasure to stay with Meredith and Richard. They sent me a lot of information before, so it was easy to find her home. I enjoyed my stay very much. It's easy with public transport to go to NYC and I discovered (thank you Meredith) that Jersey City has beautiful views to the skyline of Manhattan. When I will (of course I will) come back to NYC, the home of Meredith and Richard is my first choice. I can this accommodation highly recommended. Meredith and Richard: thank you again for this wonderful first experience with airbnb.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Jacqueline! You are welcome anytime.
My friend Katherine and i stayed at Meredith and Richards place and we had a fantastic time. They are a very friendly ,accomodating couple who make you feel very welcome . The room was very bright , cozy and very quite to sleep in. The area was fab too its just so easy to hop on the Path Train and within no time you are in New York. I would def recommend any of my friends to stay with Meredith and Richard and i hope to be back myself around Easter time
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Judith. You would be welcome around Easter, or anytime!
My wife and I stayed at this place for a month. We were a bit hesitant about renting a room and sharing the apartment with somebody; but this hesitation just went away after staying a few days in Meredith and Richard's place. Meredith and Richard is an intellectual, friendly, kind, and easy-going couple who really helped us whenever we have needed. Moreover, they gave us very detailed information about how to get around NYC and Jersey City. They just exceeded our expectations. The room and the bathroom are clean, sunny and cozy . As a very nice treat, they have provided clean towels, sheets, blankets every week, and soaps, shampoo, conditioner were all ready when we were there. There are a lot of books in the shelves in the room including books about NYC which would help you a lot to learn more about the city. They have allowed us to use fully their very functional and modern kitchen. We had also great time together. The room was very cozy and comfortable with its private bathroom in it. The place has a great location only 10 minutes walk from Journal Square from which you can commute to WTC and 33rd street in (website hidden) is just a ten minutes ride, 33rd street takes a bit longer but not much. The neighborhood is very safe;we have not seen any issue in this one month period. The path train to NYC runs for 24 hours a day so it is very convenient. Meredith and Richard's pets were so cute and quiet. Cooper (the dog) and Martha (the cat) never bother you in any way. And also it was very enjoyable to pet them. Overall, we had a great stay in Meredith and Richard's place. They were very nice people and make you feel like in your home. We are sure Meredith and Richard's place will be the first place we will check the availability of if we would visit NYC one more time. I can't recommend this place more highly.

We are a friendly couple (a children's book editor and a graphic designer) who loves to travel and meet new people. We have lived in our beautiful pre-war apartment building in Jersey City for four years, and look forward to sharing our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with short-term travelers. We also hope to take advantage of AirBnB when we go on our honeymoon to Paris next winter!
