She may have been caged up during her normal mating time and never mated. 2 weeks is a little long not to be laying eggs especially since she should have been mated before you got her. Contact the seller. If he is any good, he will replace her. Do so quickly. You do not want workers to start laying. The first queen that I received in a nuc had defective wings. I called the seller, he came out and we tried to replace her but it was too late, the SHB took over and destroyed the hive. He replaced it with a full hive because by that time it should have been a full hive.Jim
did you plan on buying a queen? they will start making queen cells right away with eggs in there.

This is the method I am now using. Previously I was using the Mann Lake top feeder. I like this method because it just gives a small amount of sugar syrup at a time which is good for this time of year when you do not want them to backfill the brood nest. I am trying to give them just enough to eat, but not to store right now. We will have a flow coming soon and I do not want the sugar stored away.I am placing a ziplock bag about twice a week on my strong hive which has so much brood. I let a few days go in between feedingsAnnette
baggies work well, but are consumed very quickly by a large overwintered hive. I use top feeders for them. I really do like the baggies for nucs though. You can always find the right size bag no matter how many frames your hive is, which is good. They are also inexpensive.

|Connecting Interns through Corporate Relations
|When Duane Palmiter of Liberty Mutual searches for new interns, one of the first places he looks is the Ithaca College School of Business.
When Duane Palmiter of Liberty Mutual searches for new interns, one of the first places he looks is the Ithaca College School of Business.
Palmiter, who is manager of the company's Binghamton, New York, branch, began recruiting at the school in 2007 and has since built a corporate relationship that is already benefiting students.
Alicia Marchant experienced the advantages of this connection when she was offered an internship for the summer before her senior year. After completing the internship in August, she was immediately offered a job.
"The process of finding a job could have been much more strenuous, but now all I have to do is graduate," Marchant said.
Palmiter said that Marchant's case isn't unique. On average, many college students are offered a job at the end of their internship and the qualities recruiters look for in interns are the same as potential employees or sales representatives.
For this reason, according to Marchant, the interning process is extremely hands-on and offers plenty of opportunities for students to work independently and gain experience in the business world. Palmiter explains the process as a mentoring system where interns are able to team up with current sales representatives, accompany them in meetings, and establish a relationship where they can learn and grow.
"They act as assistants to the sales representative," Palmiter said. "It's a situation where they can feel each other out. The hope is that when we hire an intern we will be able to offer them a job in the future."
Based her experience, Marchant said companies like Liberty Mutual are increasingly recognizing the importance of the interning process.
"Corporations are putting more energy into their interns now than they have ever before," she said. "They know that these are the people who are going to stick with them and know the most about the company from the very beginning."
Marchant said this makes connections between corporations and a college increasingly important. Once it is established that students from a certain school are quality interns and employees, the company will keep coming back to that school. The most difficult part for a college is getting its foot in the door. If a school already has established such a relationship, then its students have a clear advantage.
"It's about building a relationship and building contacts with people," Marchant said. "The business school [at Ithaca College] has done a great job of setting up internships and maintaining a dialogue with Liberty Mutual."
Currently Palmiter hires one intern from the business school each year, but he hopes to expand relations in the future by making Ithaca College a target school. Target schools receive direct financial support from Liberty Mutual and are integrated into the corporate structure.
"We're a Fortune 500 company, and we're growing," Palmiter said. "Our involvement with the business school provides clear opportunities for its students."

Like most people in this world im having a hard time with my life right now .. I'll break it down for those who care if you want to skip to the point skip my next paragraph.
i am 22 now .. I use to do a lot of music back when i was 14 all the way up to last year. Just don't have the passion i once use to have for it as well as the buzz i had when i was younger faded when work and bills got in the way of my studio time.
i never went to college after highschool i been working full time since then in the retail world mostly tmobile at&t and now sprint. Im tired of retail & just want to find a career or a new path. Reason i havent gone to college is because i am helping my mom and brothers pay our new house morgage.. Its our first house we grew up living in the projects and decided to take a leap of faith. If i decide to go to school i will have no good income ..
I have been working for sprint for a few months but i am thinking about leaving sprint so i can start a one year IT program that will pay me about $300 every two weeks and will get me in an internship 6months in .. Program is called Year Up but they do not guarantee a job at the end of this program. But if i do get a job it would be a nice 9-5 mon-fri something stable and more of a career then sprint i assume.. Not sure what to do
i have also recently became interested im developing as well as photography .. But one of my buddies who is a developer said it would be too tough for me to start now ..
As for the photography i just wanted to know if ppl actually made money by selling photos to companys that make post cards ect?
Just looking for opinions and guidance

The strength of urban art
By Barbara Taormina
Union Leader Correspondent | January 20. 2014 10:51PM
Cam Ruhl, who paints graffiti-inspired canvases, says Positive Street Art is building a community for a new generation of artists. (BARBARA TAORMINA)
James Marchetti and fashion designer Oscar Villacis model two of Vallacis' sports jackets rebuilt with painted leather sleeves,print pockets and contrasting collars. Barbara Taormina
Villacis said Nashua's downtown art movement draws in young people from different places and cultures, and the mix helps fuel an ongoing creative churn.
Cam Ruhl, a former graffiti artist who has switched from spray paint and brick walls to acrylics and canvases, said he also appreciated the community and the opportunities that have opened up to local artists through Positive Street Art.
"A lot of us do disruptive art that breaks the cycle," said Ruhl.
Ryan Lavalley, who was working a raffle table to raise money for the organization, said one of Positive Street Art's basic goals is to channel creative energy in a constructive way.
Lavalley said Positive Street Art is working hard to connect all of Nashua's artists and build an inclusive arts community."It's our mission," he said. "We want to encourage people who might otherwise not have had a voice to express themselves."

Logan • Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre is celebrating the bicentennial of two titans of opera by presenting one of Richard Wagner's early works and a mature piece from Giuseppe Verdi's canon. This is the first time UFOMT has presented a Wagner work. And while many are loath to admit similarities between the two composers, festival audiences will undoubtedly see resemblances.
"The Flying Dutchman" • The legend of a sailor cursed to spend eternity sailing the seas has become part of popular culture with the film "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants." UFOMT's "Dutchman," sung in German with English titles, provides another look at the tale.
In this version, the spectral sailor sung by Utah favorite Kristopher Irmiter is allowed to come ashore once every seven years to search for a woman who will remain faithful and enable his salvation.
Irmiter brought a sense of vulnerability to the cursed Dutchman, whose quest had previously met with disappointment. His focused baritone allowed him to resonate above the orchestra in the acoustically superb Ellen Eccles Theatre.
Senta, the object of his search, was sung with technical brilliance and breathtaking control by soprano Elizabeth Beers Kataria. Equally adept at capturing an engaging dramatic arc, Kataria played the hopeless romantic with an obsession for the Dutchman's legend.
Senta's former boyfriend Erik, sung superbly by John Pickle, hears that a stranger has set his sights on her and jealously tries to reconcile. Pickle's heldentenor voice rang brilliantly as his fury with Senta escalated, maintaining keen focus throughout his vocal high-wire act.
Daland, sung by bass Richard Zuch, played Senta's seafaring father who couldn't resist an offer of treasure for his daughter's hand. Zuch projected with delightful ebullience and warmth. When he brought the Dutchman home to meet Senta, the couple's ensuing duet was operatic gold as they warily sized each other up.
Tenor Benjamin Bongers, as the Steersman, displayed soaring heft but lost focus during soft passages, and Vanessa Schukis' mezzo projected imposing strength.
Stage director and set designer Jack Shouse contributed clarity and cannily resolved staging issues that have snared others. For example, the Dutchman appeared in a nobleman's clothes not ashen-faced and ragged as he is often portrayed making it easier to accept Senta's infatuation with him.
The actors playing his ghostly crew didn't clean up as well. Sporting pointy-nose masks and fright wigs, they had the appearance of gnomes.
Shouse's traditional set of an early 19th-century seaport conveyed appropriate ambience and accommodated unfettered movement on the theater's narrow stage. Colorful costumes by Misti Bradford and eerie lighting by Christopher Wood completed the visual effect.
UFOMT's robust chorus was the frosting on this delectable offering. Sometimes overpowering but always clear and precise, the men's voices during their first-act chorus rang with viral rowdiness, while the women's second-act "Spinning Chorus" effused light-hearted charm.
A well-honed orchestra, conducted by Karen Keltner, played with compelling energy and created a blended and nicely balanced sound.
From the opening strains of the storm-tossed overture to the gripping finale, this "Dutchman" swelled with dramatic and musical intensity.
"Otello" • Giuseppe Verdi's love of Shakespeare inspired three operas: "Macbeth," "Falstaff" and his penultimate work, "Otello." He found a compatible librettist for "Otello" in fellow composer Arrigo Boito.
Ian DeNolfo, an experienced tenor with credits from New York's Metropolitan Opera, was originally supposed to sing the Moor of Venice. But illness thrust Curtis Bannister, DeNolfo's cover, into the title role. The 28-year-old tenor's initial "deer in the headlights" moment transformed into a riveting portrayal with dramatic inflection and compelling energy. His youth lent credibility to the depiction of a military leader who was easily deluded by a corrupt and devious subordinate. Vocally, Bannister thrived in the mid and low range, but unfortunately, a thrilling vocal ping in the top register eluded him.
Baritone Jason Stearns sang Iago with a voice dripping in malevolence. His burnished, resonant tones leapt from the score, including some thrilling top notes that punctuated his vile intent. Singing the second-act "Credo," Stearns revealed his depraved nature in explicit detail.
Dramatic soprano Carla Thelen Hanson, who sang the title role last year in UFOMT's "Tosca," was Otello's wife, Desdemona. Hanson's vocal range, exquisite control and emotional depth culminated in "Willow Song"; the sublime "Ave Maria" that followed was a masterpiece of tenderness and vulnerability. She also showed indomitable strength, defying Otello's brutal efforts to make her confess a nonexistent sin in the final duet.
A talented supporting cast featured tenor Michael Jones in a lyric but underpowered performance as Cassio; mezzo Amanda Tarver in a brief but vocally stunning appearance as Emilia; bass Kevin Nakatani, who brought a welcome gravitas to the role of Lodovico; tenor Benjamin Bongers, who gave a pleasing, clarion tone as Roderigo; and baritone Jeremiah Johnson as a stately Montano.
This spur-of-the moment performance by Bannister was no doubt stressful for the cast, but Daniel Helfgot's insightful stage direction and enabling influence surely stabilized a tenuous situation. The only disconnect was the overly dark opening scene, sung through a scrim that muted the chorus as they frantically described Otello's storm-tossed approach to the harbor.
Conductor Barbara Day Turner inspired singers and instrumentalists with a nuanced baton and interpretative vision. The well-prepared orchestra and precise chorus, including a handful of delightful children, thrived under her direction.
Stunning costumes by Wes Jenkins and lighting design from Christopher Wood brought life to Peter Crompton's beautifully detailed sets, featuring a Roman arch motif.
What could have been a theatrical disaster turned into a dramatic triumph in this professional and elegant production. Future performances with the return of DeNolfo in the title role should be a must-see.
'The Flying Dutchman' and 'Otello'
P Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre presents two operas; one is an engrossing account of a ghost ship captain's search for salvation, while the other is a riveting musical rendition about Shakespeare's Moor of Venice.
When • Reviewed Wednesday, July 10, and Friday, July 12, respectively. The productions run in rotating repertory, Tuesday-Saturday at 1 and 7:30 p.m., through Aug. 10.

Smithfield Ham
5 Things You Didn't Know About Your Christmas Ham
On a recent visit to the small town of Smithfield, Virginia (population 8,108 to be exact), I found out that this handcrafted slab of pork goodness has every bit the illustrious history of its European rivals, San Daniele from Italy and the legendary jamon Iberico from Spain, and has a taste that compares to them both. It is particularly fine when served in the traditional manner, either sandwiched between a sliced hot fluffy biscuit or accompanied with a side order of red-eye gravy, made with a slug of black coffee.
So just in case you thought you knew all there was to know about the all-American Smithfield ham, here are five facts that might surprise you about one of America's oldest and most popular foods.
All Smithfield Hams Are Made In Smithfield, VirginiaAlthough hams have been made in this part of the U.S. since the time of the first settlements in the 1600s, it was not until 1926 that the state of Virginia passed a statute stating that any ham that wanted to bear the Smithfield name had to be, at the very least, processed within the boundaries of the town.
Originally, all the hogs that were used to provide meat for the hams were to be fed entirely on a diet of peanuts. However, in 1966 this rule was relaxed to allow other feeds to be used, primarily because the cost of using the town's other most lucrative crop was prohibitive.

ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters

Can You Really Make Money With LinkedIn?
Social networking has become an enormous technology that is growing more every day and one of the sites growing the fastest is LinkedIn. Since it opened in May 2003, it has expanded to more than 200 million users, all of which are professionals interested in expanding in their businesses or reaching other professionals in their field. Studies say that every second an additional LinkedIn account is created in the business world. So let's explore how we can make money with LinkedIn.
Social networking has also become a technique for businesses to make money online in cutting-edge and ground-breaking methods via Internet Marketing. While some places such as Facebook can resemble just a place to enjoy yourself with your friends, social networks such as LinkedIn are constructed more for professional dealings and associations. It is a world of business women and men wanting to relate to compatible business men or women to share knowledge of a business nature, not a site to talk about what you had for lunch or play a silly game.
The similarity regarding LinkedIn and other social networking sites is that people can still engage in things such as make status updates, provide content, recommend posts or people, post youtube videos, and keep in touch with your friends. It's just designed to be a far more serious kind of interactions that are business related.
But is there truly a means to generate profits using LinkedIn?
LinkedIn and Money Generating Potential
LinkedIn doesn't really offer business people a direct way to make money; even so there are means to use it to your advantage that can make money for you and your business if it is used correctly. This money can arise from the way that LinkedIn users communicate and how they market their services through their web sites or blog posts via using LinkedIn tools.
LinkedIn is essentially its own community packed with masters and business professionals all looking for ways to aid themselves or others. With the help of relationships made with these folks your business can uncover ways to connect and to earn money through those affiliations. Industries like Apple and Amazon.com have uncovered this fact and they are far from being on their own in the world of big business and they wouldn't have created a business account on LinkedIn if it wasn't going to assist them to profit in many ways, including income.
Groups Can Help in Generating cash through LinkedIn
Groups on LinkedIn are built by similar people or companies who wish to talk about various markets, areas of work, and various other subjects. LinkedIn members can either participate in a group or create their own. Either way can bring about opportunities that could quite possibly help your company to earn money in multiple ways.
Plugging into the best groups can result in a business earning money through using LinkedIn. There are plenty of groups on LinkedIn that can teach you more effective ways to carry out your business, or better ways to resolve problems in your field, etc. that will result in your company getting better at what it does and therefore earning more profits.
These kinds of groups can help you develop the contacts that can really help you to acquire leads that can turn into more traffic to your business web site and that can produce more prospects and clients that will choose your products and help get you more profits if they also give you recommendations and endorsements on their LinkedIn pages.
Groups are also great ways to acquire more staff members that can fit nicely into your open positions. You can choose prospective candidates that will serve to help make your business more profitable thanks to their experiences and skills. This is yet another solution to help your business earn a much bigger profit via your allies on LinkedIn simply because better employees are much more effective and really help your company to make money through their actions.
Additional Ways LinkedIn might help you to Generate profits
Some of the other ways to generate cash through your networking efforts on LinkedIn include things like learning how you can use some of their apps like the LinkedIn Mobile app. This gives businesses even more possibilities to be connected to authoritative people or fellow business enterprises that can help lead them towards income earning opportunities. With nearly everyone carrying a smart phone nowadays, your business is most definitely wasting opportunities that could turn into potential earnings if they don't make the most of the benefits they can grab through the use of LinkedIn Mobile Apps.
All in all, LinkedIn doesn't provide a direct route to making money, but if it is used appropriately then it's possible to make money with LinkedIn through the associations you create and the knowledge you share with others.

About Us
World Expeditions
World Expeditions is one of the world's leading adventure travel companies offering ground breaking itineraries on every continent. The company has been operating small group trekking and adventure travel holidays and vacations since 1975.
We are widely recognized for ground breaking Responsible Tourism initiatives. In particular, the award winning Community Project Travel Program helps to improve the living conditions of some of the world's most remote communities
Today, with offices around the globe, we offer more than 500 stand alone itineraries; small group active adventures and expeditions, cycling and walking tours and cultural journeys. Each itinerary has several scheduled departure dates throughout the season.
Supported by some of the world's most experienced and respected adventurers, including mountaineers Peter Hillary and Tim Macartney-Snape working with us as specialist guides, World Expeditions' has helped shape the adventure travel industry standards since its inception almost four decades ago.
Our all-inclusive, no hidden extras pricing policy combined with longer, creative itineraries and the use of quality ground services attracts people who have high expectations of their travel experiences.
In 2004, we became the first adventure operator whose product was being distributed on Lonely Planet's Travel Services section on their website.
World Expeditions is truly global company with offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as well as Auckland, Ottawa and Montreal.
Why Travel with World Expeditions?
We own most of our operational bases around the world. This ensures that we can provide high quality trips of exceptional value with no hidden extras. Our trips are all inclusive, so there is little need to pay for anything once your trip commences until it ends. Our hands-on approach and years of experience has ensured a safety record second to none as we've pioneered some of the most unique itineraries in the adventure market place today.
World Expeditions has been seriously committed to responsible travel and true sustainability since we began in 1975 when we established our philosophy and stated ideal which was to "take only photographs and leave only footprints".
Almost four decades of pioneering adventure travel has proved the positive conservation outcomes when travel is managed for sustainability. We believe a responsible, long-term vision can deliver true sustainability and with the participation of all our clients and business partners the challenge is being met and achieved.
An example of this commitment to sustainability has been our efforts to preserve the forests of Nepal. This has involved changing an entrenched culture of burning wood for fuel. World Expeditions has pioneered the change to kerosene as an alternative to wood on all trekking expeditions in Nepal. We do not have camp fires and we strongly discourage trekkers from buying wood-fueled hot showers in lodges along the trail. As a founding supporter of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) we also lead the way in porter protection by providing a good working wage for all Nepalese staff, food and extra clothing for those working above the tree line, life insurance cover and emergency helicopter insurance. Our efforts were recognized at the World Travel Mart in 2006 when our porter policies received a 'Highly Commended' in the Mountain Environment category.
Our philanthropic program ensures we 'give something back'. Our current initiative is Community Project Travel. The concept behind our Community Project Travel range of trips is based on the ethos of "travel with a purpose". It is a range of small group adventures, each about two weeks in length, whereby participants commit four to five days of their holiday to making a difference to a community in need. A portion of the traveller's participation fee contributes to the associated material costs of the project. In 2006 our travellers helped to refurbish the Saramthali school in Nepal, collected 7 tonnes of ghost nets from the Arnhem land coastline, helped to build a new school room for the Xo village in Vietnam as well as erect a footbridge for the village of Qelqanqa in Peru so that kids could access the school safely.
In recognition of our environmental policies, we are the only Travel Company ever to be fully endorsed by the Wilderness Society in Australia. In 2001, we received the National Travel Industry's Environmental Achievement Award, presented by WWF Australia, for our responsible tourism policies.
In addition, we create excellent adventures! Our trips have featured in the world's most prestigious magazines and newspapers including: OUTSIDE magazine, both National Geographic Adventure & National Geographic Traveler magazine, Wanderlust, The Sunday Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Age, The Sunday Telegraph (UK) plus much more. Visit www.worldexpeditions.com for details of all our adventures.

"This invitation was perfect for our superhero themed birthday! Tiny Prints always has what I need! The paper quality is nice and thick and I love that I could customize the hair color to match my daughter's brown hair. I'm always sure to save a copy for my her memory book. Shipping came sooner than the estimated arrival! Just be sure you read the card size. I had assumed it was 5x7, but it was more like 4x6 - not that that's a problem as everything fit and looked great!"
"Great Card. Some were sent to me and the rest mailed direct to my invitees. Those that came to me were a week earlier than those to the invite list. I used this feature to save time and it took almost a week longer."
"I picked this card because I thought the graphics were best for a 5 year olds party. The text spacing was limited but the customer service department was excellent at warning me of issues and correcting my mistake. I was surprised that it was so small (I had envisioned a larger card) and I would have liked to put a little text on the back. But, it'll be a fine invite for this party!"
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"Almost every person who has received the card has specifically told me how amazing they think it is. Many said it was the best invitation they've received. I choose not to use a photo and instead included the text "This message will self destruct in 3, 2, 1..." in that space. This card definitely has set the tone for a super spy party."

Rachel Yankey admits the prospect of breaking the England Ladies international caps record had never crossed her mind.
The experienced midfielder is just one cap away from Gillian Coulthard's long-standing record of 119 and could draw level with an appearance against Slovenia on Thursday.
Yankey scored the winner in England's crucial 1-0 victory over the Holland at the Salford City Stadium on Sunday and the Arsenal star admits the prospect of writing her own chapter in history is a real honour.
"It is really nice," she told Arsenal.com. "It's not something I ever really thought about when I was a kid simply because I didn't have that many caps for England. Hopefully I can play some part in the final game and it will be nice to equal her record.
"I remember Gill when she played and she was ending her career as I was starting. She was always a good defender who was difficult to beat."
Yankey made a goalscoring England debut 15 years ago in a 4-0 friendly victory over Scotland and could now amass Coulthard's total in four years fewer.
But while Yankey's cap haul may make her the most experienced player in the current set-up, the 32-year-old does not necessarily see herself as a role model.
"For the younger members of the squad now it is totally different to when I started," she said. "I came into the team with no international experience but the younger players now have all played Under-17s or Under-15s so they are used to coming into an England squad and how it is done in tournament. They more or less take it in their stride to be honest, they are better prepared than we were.
"I want to be approachable if people want to talk to me and ask me for advice. But I think I am just the same as any other player in the squad. Obviously I have played more games but I still want to learn.
"If other players have got opinions on the pitch they want to tell me, I still want to learn and I don't really see myself as any different to everybody else.
"It probably means a little bit more [to pull on the shirt] to be honest. When I first started I was just a kid who didn't really know what was going on, I just wanted to play football. As you get older there are more nerves and you can really appreciate what the game means. You understand the consequences of losing."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

'"I just think we need to know the facts," she said. "I don't think any citizen likes to hear about something after the fact, and I think that before commitments are made and promises are made, it's my responsibility to inform the Legislature and the public what it's actually going to cost (the public), and what does this really mean."'

Château Lamargue in this up-and-coming appellation in France's southern Rhône Valley was established in 1999. The property, which was purchased in 2001 by Campari, includes 85 hectares (210 acres) of vineyards planted in an array of grape varieties, notably Syrah.
Chateau Lamargue boasts a new showcase winery equipped with the most advanced winemaking technology. The estate's vineyards have undergone a similarly thorough rehabilitation, as have Lamargue's aging cellars (chais), which are now replete with all-new French and American oak barriques. View all Chateau Lamargue Wines
About Languedoc-RoussillonView a map of Languedoc-Roussillon wineries (LAHN-guh-dock) (ROO-see-yohn) France. The region stretches along the land above the Mediterranean, bordered by the Rhone river on the east and almost reaching Spain on the west. Only 10% of the wines from the area are AC, with the remaining wines often landing in the Vin de Pays or Vin de Table category. Wines in the Vin de Pays category are classified here as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Notable Facts80% of the wines here are red. The grapes of the neighboring Rhone region are popular, with the focus on Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and to a lesser extent, Carignan. White grapes include Rousanne, Marsanne, Clairette and other white Rhone varieties. Parts of the region are also enjoying success with international varieties like Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. For many of these international style wines, you'll see the grape variety on the label – very un-French, but since they qualify as Vin de Pays d'Oc, it's allowed. Not so for the AC wines of the region, which are relegated to using most of the regional varieties and labeling their bottles by region. Appellations in the Languedoc include Corbières, Minervois, Costières de Nimes, Banyuls and the largest of them all, Coteaux de Languedoc. Corbières and Minervois are found on the western side of the region and produce sometimes very concentrated red wines. Costières de Nimes lies just southwest of the Rhone and produces wines of comparable character. Banyuls creates decadent fortified wines with Grenache and Coteaux de Langeudoc does triple duty, using international and regional grapes to produce white, red and rose wines that are often fantastic values.
RoussillonA region located between the Spanish border and Languedoc, Roussillon is often mentioned in conjunction with Languedoc, but is an entirely separate, albeit smaller, area. Producing white, red and rose wines, Roussillon is in the Catalonia region, which bleeds into Spain and France. The area has equal amount of Spanish influence as it does French. It is most well-known for Banyuls, a potent dessert wine made from concentrated old-vine Grenache. Vines are old and planted on steep, rocky, terraced hillsides overlooking the coast. The region is also making still wines, mostly from Grenache but with a good amount of Carignan as well.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

I am not a fan of the 40, myself. I like the 9mm and the 45 ACP. Right now, I have gone to all 9mm guns so I can afford to shoot every other weekend.
I had a Glock 26 for 8 years - good gun. Switched to a Walther P99 compact A/S last year, and I much prefer that - My aim is better than with the Glock - but, the G26 was a good gun. If the XD in 40 is too much for U, I'd go with a 9mm

Monica & Carl
December 29
Rockland, Maine
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The best quality our venue had was all-inclusiveness! We were able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one location. Having it all in different rooms of the same hotel allowed one style to permeate throughout the entire event, the wedding to proceed from event to event seamlessly, and there was a place for everyone to stay after the celebrations, which we were thankful for because we had a blizzard that night!
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Our very personal ceremony. Our closest friend (he introduced us to one another) was the officiant and family and friends wrote the readings for us.
2. The very emotional father/daughter dance that I shared with my father.
3. The dinner. It was long enough that we were able to visit with the family and friends, who were there, and still have time to eat!
3. If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Get married off season and shorten your wedding date! We had the best service from all of our vendors because they had nothing else planned. We received discounts and also had a faster turnaround for what we ordered. Also shortening my wedding date allowed me to make a decision and drop it. If I had had a full year to plan it would have made me crazy trying to pack more in!
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you can't stop thinking about.
Finally putting on my wedding dress! My mother and I had made it together from a vintage vogue pattern. It was my dream dress, and my mother had put countless hours into it. The moment she zipped it up, I let out a big sigh because I have never felt better!

For one thing, they differ greatly in size. The biggest viruses are only as large as the tiniest bacteria.
Another difference is their structure. Bacteria are complex compared to viruses.A typical bacterium has a rigid cell wall and a thin, rubbery cell membrane surrounding the fluid, or cytoplasm (sigh-toe-plasm), inside the cell. A bacterium contains all of the genetic information needed to make copies of itself—its DNA—in a structure called a chromosome (crow-moe-soam). In addition, it may have extra loose bits of DNA called plasmids floating in the cytoplasm. Bacteria also have ribosomes (rye-bo-soams), tools necessary for copying DNA so bacteria can reproduce. Some have threadlike structures called flagella that they use to move.
A virus may or may not have an outermost spiky layer called the envelope. All viruses have a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either DNA or RNA. And that's it. Period.Which brings us to the main difference between viruses and bacteria—the way they reproduce.

Welcome to polk county "get out while you can". Okay, so i moved over here to the states about four years ago from the Netherlands, I was born in Ireland but spent most of my child hood in the Chicago area. When i turned 18 i realized i had to get away for awhile find out who i am and where i belong. "I'm sure most of you know what i'm talking about". anyways so I moved back to europe. spent 14 years over there. 4 years ago my father had become seriously ill so I moved back to the states to help my mother out. since then my father has recovered.
When i moved back i moved near where my parents retired a small town by the name of auburndale in polk county fl. Now this is where it gets interesting this town is located half way between orlando and tampa 2 major modern city's but this town in fact the entire county is for lack of better words a normal persons hell but a rednecks heaven. okay put it this way every 3 out of 4 vehicles is a huge jacked up truck covered in mud. pretty much all the drivers are wearing cowboy hats or john deer caps. umm hello i don't see any cows that need wrangling or fields to plow and seed. but the funniest thing is they have these places called mud ranches okay sure lets all go to the mud ranch and drink bud light wth is that. I think the only beer that exists in that county is bud light. yuk I mean come on polk county get with the times open your eyes and stop marrying your 15 year old cousins already. If you end up ever ending up in that county make sure you get out while you can and run as far and as fast as you can away from there. now if your all redneck by all means move there you'll love it. Just make sure your name isn't Bubba cause everyone that lives there is named Bubba its so bad that they have to asign them numbers after the name for example "Bubba 12,825 your grits and collard greens are ready for pick up at register 2 and Bubba 763 your pigs feet and 6pack of bud light is ready at register 1". Funniest part about it is that you think i'm joking. :lol

Introduction to Banking
What interest rates does your current bank pay? Are you leaving significantly more money in your checking account than you need to pay the monthly bills? Do you know where the best interest rates are for a money market account? Have you checked out the possibilities of online banking? Do you know where to find a list of local ATMs that won't charge you any fees? Do you know the difference between APY and APR?
"Hey, hey, wait a second," you're saying. "I just innocently clicked over to this area to find out a little bit about my bank. I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition." Well, as others more comedically talented than ourselves have pointed out before, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. But perhaps it's time that you put yourself through the third degree. What's going on in the banking industry today shows that most consumers are not giving their banking behavior much, if any, inquiry -- and the consequences are significant. Just as brokers, credit card companies, the mutual fund industry, and car dealers have been preying on consumers who don't know the rules of the game, banks are counting on their customers not doing even the least little bit of homework before opening an account.
Consider these facts:
- More than $1 trillion is currently in low (or no) interest checking and savings accounts.
- ATMs currently charge fees as high as $5 for a single transaction. Banks make more than $2 billion annually on ATM fees alone.
- There is virtually no use at all today for the inappropriately named "savings" account, yet it remains one of the most popular ways for Americans to store their money.
Here at the Fool we've made a big deal for a long time about how mutual funds underperform the market's indexed returns. Over the last 30 years, the average managed equity mutual fund has trailed an S&P index fund's returns by about 2% per year -- and that really bugs us. But, right now, the majority of money put into checking and savings accounts is seeing a return that is closer to 3% less than what is regularly available from equally insured and convenient accounts.
There are some good reasons that it is much, much more expensive to bank with the PhirstCitiBancs whose commercials you regularly see on nationally televised sports games. After all, there's a lot of marble that has to be hewn out of Italy, flown over on the Concorde, and kept clean in those cavernous downtown branches where they shoot those lovely commercials. Those powerful CEOs of the biggest banks also need (need, we're telling you!) some very extravagant corporate jets. And don't forget the cost of having a football stadium or sports arena named after a bank. If you like seeing a stadium on ESPN's SportsCenter and being able to point at the screen and say, "Hey, my checking account fees helped name that place!" -- by all means, keep banking there and skip the tedious chore of wading through the rest of our banking info. (We hope you'll stick around, though. We've kept this area as short and sweet as possible.)
The games and tactics banks use to keep their customers in the dark about their options are the same ones the Wise men of Wall Street and other financial industries have been using to keep customers in the dark. Here are some signs that banks are deep in the Wisdom racket:
- The use of jargon to keep the customer confused.
- Offering high introductory interest rates and then quietly lowering them.
- Hiding the fees and costs in the small print.
- Loudly proclaiming the value of expensive "personalized service."
As you peruse this section on banking, keep in mind that your ultimate goal with banks should be to obtain the services and convenience you need, with the lowest costs and the highest interest rates available. If you're ready to bank online, you'll almost certainly find that the lowest costs and the highest interest rates are available there.
If you aren't yet ready to give online banking a shot, and even if you are, the first thing you need to do is identify your banking behavior and set some easy goals for yourself.
Now, on to the question... do you really need to switch banks?

When the party's on the line, check out our on-the-spot answers for your last-minute questions.
Q. How can I have an appetizer party without breaking the bank?
Serving bite-sized treats doesn't have to mean spending big bucks. When browsing recipes, keep an eye on ingredients. Even if a recipe only calls for a handful, if they're all specialty items, the price will add up quickly.
Q. I'm hosting the family holiday dinner this year, but don't have enough place settings of china. Any suggestions?Don't be afraid to mix and match plates, serving pieces, and silverware. You can create a look by using all white plates, even if they don't match exactly. Vintage china patterns lend themselves to mixing, so if you've inherited several different place settings, combine them for a charming, eclectic look. Ask your sister or a best friend if you can borrow their china for the occasion, and renting is also an option.
Q. My cakes keep sticking to the pan. How can I get them to come out clean?If your recipe calls for using greased and floured pans, make sure that you cover the pan completely in shortening or butter and then coat thoroughly with the flour. You can also cut a piece of parchment paper to fit into the bottom of the pan to help keep the cake from sticking.
Q. If I have a recipe that calls for a vanilla bean, can I use vanilla extract instead?Yes, although you won't get quite the same rich flavor that a vanilla bean provides. You can use 1 tablespoon vanilla extract in place of a 6-inch vanilla bean.
Q. I want to have a holiday cocktail party that won't break the bank. Any ideas that won't scream "cheapskate" too loudly?One classy idea is to serve trays of a signature cocktail rather than having an open bar. Pick a sophisticated or fun cocktail, depending on the mood of your party, and then have a few soft drinks or lemon-herb water on hand, such as Herb-infused Spa Water as alternatives.
Q. Once I set my table with all the plates and glasses, there's not much room for a centerpiece. Is it bad not to have one?No, but you do have other options other than a large floral centerpiece. You can make an impression with a few small roses, for example, arranged in a small vase on the table, or with a linear arrangement of fruit, votives, or tiny vases of small flowers.
Q. I have a recipe that calls for fresh ginger but I don't have any. Can I use ground?Yes. You can substitute 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger for 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger. Your guests will never notice, plus it saves a few dollars at the grocery store that you can devote to other areas of your party budget.
Q. I have a recipe that calls for a small amount of Grand Marnier. I don't keep liqueurs on hand, and a whole bottle is expensive. Is there anything else I can use?Although the flavor will be slightly different, you'll still get a good result if you substitute 2 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate for 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier (or any other orange-flavored liqueur).
Q. I'm having a holiday cocktail party and don't have enough matching wine glasses. Do I need to rent some?No. It's fine (and more interesting) to mix and match wine glasses, or even serve in an assortment of antique glassware. And, if you're buying wine glasses, it's not absolutely necessary to have different glasses for red and white wine. You can go with an all-purpose glass that has a generous-sized bowl (12 to 20 ounces); it will work for both red and white.
Q. How am I supposed to get all this stuff in one shopping trip?Plan ahead! Starting now, you can shop for staples or make-ahead dishes. Simply make a full list of everything you need, then sort it out into "Buy Ahead" and "Week Of" categories. Picking up a few things each week helps save your budget and your arms–those shopping carts get heavy!
Q. Any ideas for festive drinks that are non-alcoholic?There are a number of non-alcoholic wines available in supermarkets, as well as some sparkling fruit juices that are always a festive choice. You can also serve a signature drink, such as a festive fruit tea, in lieu of alcoholic beverages.
Q. How can I get a red wine stain off my white tablecloth?One tip is to pour boiling water over the stained area; the hot water will remove the stain. If it's not an antique linen cloth, soak it overnight in the washer in a solution of cool water and non-chlorine oxygenated laundry product. The next day, put the tablecloth and the solution through the laundry cycle as usual. A couple of other ideas are to pour a little white wine or club soda over the red wine stain, and then launder as usual.

Q. My recipe calls for self-rising flour, but I only have all-purpose flour. Can I make a substitution?Your cakes, rolls, and other rising baked goods need not go to waste. In place of 1 cup of self-rising flour, you can use 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. You'll get the same rise and the same delicious results.
Q. The party's tonight and I haven't planned a thing. Help!Trick your guests into thinking that your party is from-scratch when really it's more container-fresh. Plate them on colorful platters and hide the takeout containers. When your guests rave about your delectable egg rolls, the choice if yours: spill the beans or keep the secret and smile sweetly.
Q. Work is crazy. Can I plan a party with make-ahead food?Yes! Save your sanity with dishes and desserts that freeze beautifully. We've got your how-to guide for make-ahead party planning, so set the date and get cooking this weekend. Just make sure to clean out your freezer first.
Q. I'm clueless about bar essentials. What do I need?It's easy to get bogged down by non-essential bar items (cute coasters, anyone?) when you go shopping, so browse our bar guide for tips on stocking the bar. From fruit garnishes to mixers and, yes, even coasters, we've got you covered. Make it even more simple by following our Stock the Bar Shopping List.
