Digicel teams with Wikipedia
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Telecommunications giant Digicel on Tuesday announced that it has partnered with Wikimedia to give customers unlimited access to Wikipedia information.
A release from Digicel said that "400 million mobile subscribers [already] have free access to Wikipedia, adding that "the agreement will extend free mobile access to Digicel's customers in 31 markets across the Caribbean, Central America, and Asia Pacific".
Digicel Haiti customers will be the first to take advantage of the collaboration with the service launching there today (December 9) the release said.
"We know that our customers want to get the best value out of their handsets. With mobile penetration growing exponentially in the region and more and more people using their mobile phones as educational tools, we are delighted to be bringing the joys of Wikipedia to our customers at no charge," said Maarten Boute, Chairman of Digicel Haiti.
Wikipedia is said to be the largest collection of free knowledge ever assembled and is a collaborative creation by volunteer editors from all over the world.
"We are committed to ensuring that people not only have access to the knowledge on Wikipedia without barriers on mobile phones with no data charges, but that they can become knowledge creators themselves, and build strong communities of the future.
"We are therefore very excited about the collaboration with Digicel where the potential to open up the knowledge on Wikipedia to new audiences is immense, and the impact in communities…could be transformative," said Carolynne Schloeder, Head of Global Partnerships with the Wikimedia Foundation.

What is the Difference Between ListView and RecyclerView?
As Android Developers, we can implement Scrolling List using a ListView or a RecyclerView. Let's compare these two ways!
ListView and RecyclerView – a short history
As Android Developers, we are able to implement a scrolling list in a couple of ways, which mostly depends on what we really need to do. The most popular methods are to use a ListView or a Recycler View.
ListView is a good old widget which has been included in the Android SDK since the API 1. Until Android Lollipop's release, we mostly used this one and it wasn't that bad – the API is mostly intuitive. Unfortunately, it allows us to create just the vertical-scrolling list of elements and, to make that list scrolling go smoothly, we have to remember to do it in a proper way.
Moreover, the ListView class is a bit too heavy – it has a lot of responsibilities. Whenever we have to handle the list, such as to configure it in some way, the only way to do this is through the ListView object or inside the adapter.
Nowadays we use the RecyclerView. As I've mentioned, it was introduced with the Android Lollipop and it proved to be a game changer. A lot of things that we hate in the ListView were fixed or changed in the RecyclerView. It's more efficient by default, the layout is separated and we have more possibilities over the data set inside the adapter.
📌Read: How to Build a Minimum Viable Product
If you want to know more about them, you can take a look at my articles which show how to implement the ListView and the RecyclerView.
These are the crucial differences between ListView and RecyclerView:
#1 ViewHolder
The ViewHolder pattern allows us to make our list scrolling act smoothly. It stores list row views references and, thanks to this, calling the
findViewById() method only occurs a couple of times, rather than for the entire dataset and on each bind view.
The RecyclerView's adapter forces us to use the ViewHolder pattern. The creating part (inflating the layout and finding views) and updating the views is split into two methods —
onCreateViewHolder() and
The ListView, on the other hand, doesn't give us that kind of protection by default, so without implementing the ViewHolder pattern inside the
getView() method, we'll end with inefficient scrolling in our list.
We're 100% office based team with 7-years' experience
in mobile & web app development
#2 LayoutManager
The LayoutManager takes responsibility for layouting row views. Thanks to this, RecyclerView doesn't have to think about how to position the row view. This class gives us the opportunity to choose the way that we want to show the row views and how to scroll the list. For example, if we want to scroll our list vertically or horizontally, we can choose LinearLayoutManager. For grids, it is more suitable to choose the GridLayoutManager.
Previously, with the use of the ListView, we were only able to create a vertical-scrolling list, so it wasn't that flexible. If we wanted grids on our list, we had to choose the other widget for that — GridView.
#3 ItemDecoration
A duty of the ItemDecoration is simple in theory – add some decorations for the list row views – but in practice, it's that simple to implement if we want to create a custom one. In this case, we should extend the ItemDecoration class and implement our solution. For example, the RecyclerView list has no dividers between rows by default and it's consistent with the Material Design guidelines. However, if we want to add a divider for some reason, we can use DividerItemDecoration and add it to the RecyclerView.
In case we use the ListView, we have to figure out rows decorations by ourselves. There is no helper class like ItemDecoration for this widget.
#4 ItemAnimator
The last but not least component of RecyclerView that I want to mention is ItemAnimator. As we can expect, it's handling row views animations like list appearance and disappearance, adding or removing particular views and so on. By default, RecyclerView's list animations are nice and smooth. Of course, we can change that by creating our own ItemAnimator, which is also not that easy. To make it easier, we should extend the SimpleItemAnimator class and implement the methods that we need (just add animations to a ViewHolder's views).
To be honest, implementing animations on the ListView was a pain in the ass. Again, we had to figure out how we want to handle them. Nothing nice. I'm glad it's gone.
#5 Notifying adapter
We have a couple of cool notifiers on the RecyclerView's adapter. We are still able to use
notifyDataSetChanged() but there are also ones for particular list elements, like
notifyItemRemoved() or even
notifyItemChanged() and more. We should use the most appropriate ones for what is actually happening, so the proper animations will fire correctly.
Using ListView, we were able to use just
notifyDataSetChanged() on the adapter and then had to handle the rest ourselves, again.
Wrap up
The ListView served us for a long time. We were able to cover most of the cases. But user's needs are different now and they are much more challenging. List designs became more and more complex and the ListView wasn't helping with handling them. Material Design brought other changes, too – it's beautiful but complex.
Fortunately, the RecyclerView was introduced and a lot of problems were solved. It's more efficient by default, its animations are simpler, layouting it's easier to use and the API is much nicer. So, if you ever wonder which one you should choose, your first thought should definitely be the RecyclerView.

Architect Converted House In Bastide Village €375,000 ref: SWE00132
A unique opportunity to acquire an architect converted 13th and 18th century building offering loft style accommodation with swimming pool and views, bastide village in Lot et Garonne.
Completely converted in the last 12 months this extraodrinary home offers: 210m2 air conditoned/centrally heated (efficient heat pump) accommodation, double glazing, pool deck, second floor deck with country views and a small garden within the walls of the 13th century part.
Entrance hall leading into a bright and spacious living room with patio doors giving out to a sunny deck with 5x3m swimming pool. Steps down to patio garden. Super modern kitchen with vaulted ceiling. Dining room with vaulted ceiling. Below is a 50m2 wine cellar with vaulted stone ceiling and bar.
Stairs to the first floor with wide pine flooring throughout. Master bedroom with open bath and shower room, dressing wardrobes, picture window and door to second deck with views. 2 further double bedrooms with en-suite walk-in shower rooms.
On the second floor is a very large 4th bedroom (or study or studio) Very light with full width picture windows to the views south. Behind the house is an independent garage/workshop of some 70m2.
Set in the heart of an historic bastide village with restaurants and shops all at hand. Toulouse aiprot 1hr. Bergerac aiport 80mins.
The department of Lot et Garonne in Aquitaine has many small yet lively villages and this department in the south of France is a real find for both nature and culture lovers.
One of Lot et Garonne's assets are the views afforded by the properties over the Garonne or the Lot lush countryside with woodland and lots of leisure activities. The residents have invested well with most of them living in detached houses that are their principal residences. There are however lots of holiday or second homes to choose from.
Compared to the more expensive Perigord or Gers, the Lot et Garonne still holds some bargain French property buys. Perhaps a village home or a traditional stone house in a green environment is what you are looking for, if so, this area is the perfect place to invest in a second home.
Stripping out the usual fluctuations, the housing market in the region has been steadier than most. Long term investments may offer a good return in the future as the Lot-et-Garonne is increasingly appealing amongst foreign purchasers, just like the whole of the region of Aquitaine.
We at Cle France specialise in Property for sale in France through our network of Agents and French Registered High Street Estate Agents. We have sold thousands of houses for sale in France over the years and have helped many find and buy their dream home in France.
We can also help you with everything to do with buying a house in France including getting a mortgage, organising currency exchange, renovation advice, property surveys, planning permission, French translation, opening a bank account and everything to do with French property sales.
All our prices are quoted as FAI (agency fees included) unless otherwise stated and 'notaire' fees are around 7% (on average) but feel free to ask us for an exact amount on any particular French property for sale you are interested in.

Sanza is from the south of France but he has been living in Taipei for more than 10 years. He works in the banking industry but besides this job he collaborates in an infinite number of projects related mainly with photography, fashion and culture. We met through a common friend, who, due to our shared interests, thought it was about time that we met each other. Sanza is one of the creators, along with the French photographer Stephane Ferrero, of Revver Magazine. Last year, I worked as stylist in Revver Magazine #7 and it was an amazing experience!
When I run into Sanza at the Songshan Cultural Park, I couldn't help to take some photos of him. As you can see, his style is really elegant in a unique way, mixing different trends. In this case, Sanza is wearing a blue shirt with short sleeves and Mao collar buttoned to the top, skinny jeans, black socks with red polka dots, and brown and white brogue leather shoes. His complements are a Cartier watch, a bracelet, his laptop in a Dvf 1974 Neoprene case and a black leather wallet.

• Dark forces rising. The Lakers pulled off an unprecedented three-way trade on Friday, acquiring former All-Star Paul Gasol by sending a bucket of chum and an old PEZ dispenser to the Memphis Grizzlies and promising their immortal souls to Satan.
After the candles were extinguished and the goat's blood had dried, the Dark Lord expressed his fiendish delight with the fulfillment of this historic transaction. "Dr. Buss truly is a pleasure to work with. As are Misters Kupchak and Jackson. Of course, as you probably already know, Phil and I did some work together back in the 1990s. For instance...remember that Charles Smith no-call? That was me. Oh yes, that was me!"
Once the hissing and snickering had died down, the Bringer of Sorrow continued: "Sure, I'm happy about the souls - I was already getting Kobe's anyway - but what I'm really excited about are the perks. Unlimited smoothies at the Staples Center, a free subscription to Lakers Mag, a copy of the 2007-08 team picture signed by all the players, and I get to watch all Lakers home games from inside Jack Nicholson. Until I take Jackie home with me, of course. And if you've seen The Bucket List, you know that's going to happen soon. Very soon. MUWAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry, how terribly undignified of...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh, that was bad form on my par...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Okay. I'm done."
Kobe Bryant, who is thrilled out of his freaking gourd about the trade, was asked whether he was at all concerned about spending an eternity in the fiery pits of everlasting damnation. "Hell?" Bryant said. "Have you ever played with Kwame Brown before? You know nothing of hell."
• Uh, guys, you're supposed to be playing tonight. The Washington Wizards watched the Black Mamba strike for 19 points in the first quarter before realizing, "Oh shit...we're playing the Lakers tonight!" But by the time they finally stripped off their warmup jackets, the game was pretty much over. Kobe had 30 points on 10-for-15 shooting and every Laker except Coby Karl scored as the Blue and Gold coasted to an effortless 103-91 win. Antawn Jamison had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Wizards, who also got 15 points and 7 assists from the newly-returned Caron Butler. Bonus stat: Your mother isn't as proud of you as she says.
• Wir können nicht gescoren. Let's take a look at the Mav's offensive output against Detroit. Lowest point total of the season? Check. A season-low shooting percentage? Check. Yet another brutal humiliation of the league's reigning MVP? Check. I hate to ruin the ending of this story, but Dallas didn't win. The Pistons capitalized on the Maverick's extreme sucktasticness and routed them 90-67. Rasheed Wallace led the Pistons with 21 points, 9 rebounds, and several exclamations of "He can't guard me!" Meanwhile, Dirk Nowitzki had 15 and 10, but was held to 3-for-18 shooting. Bonus stat: Juwan Howard - yes, he's still in the league - scored a three trillion.
• Cheaters never prosper. On his way out of Los Angeles, Beelzebub spoke about the allegations that the Patriots filmed the Rams' final walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl. "No, no, no," said the Serpent of Eden. "That was all me. I was just sick of Kurt Warner and all his God this, Jesus that, blah, blah, blah. Seriously, I can only take so much of that crap before I start screwing with people." When asked about the Patriots' colossal flop in this year's Super Bowl, the Prince of Lies simply chuckled and said, "Let's just say I had a few dollars on the Giants and leave it at that, okay?"

Expanding ConnDuino: push buttons and breadboard
In the right side of the ConnDuino front, a breadboard has been arranged, for through hole components, allowing for project specific expansion needs. Furthermore, at the top right a voltage ladder is included to be normally used for push button input, using a single analog pin.
The breadboard area is laid down in an 8x13 hole pattern. A DPDT 5v relay may be fit in the 8 columns space. Conveniently, the Arduino ground as well 3.3V and 5V supply pins are very close to the center row of the breadboard. It is clarified here that none of the breadboard holes is grounded or connected to a supply rail. The user should be better making such decisions.
The buttons area (spot A in the above picture), supports up to six buttons. The intended final circuits are shown in the next picture. The left one is capable to recognize combinations of pressed buttons (for example buttons 1 and 3 pressed simultaneously). The right circuit is simpler (no Rb resistors), but when any two or more buttons are pressed, the program will recognize only one of them (which is the one closer to the 5V source). The wiring to be added, out of the board, appears in red color in the circuits below. Not all six buttons are required to be present, but when a button is connected, its respective resistor (R1-R6) should be installed too. Also, the installed buttons should start from position 1 without any gap between them.
This is how the above circuitry works. When no button is pressed the analog pin 3 reads a 5V input value. No current leaks to the ground. If any button is pressed, a connection between the 5V supply and the ground is realized. If using the circuit to the right, the current flows through a single path only. If using the left circuit, the current flows through a number of paths equal to the number of pressed buttons. At any case, for any button (or combination of buttons) a unique number of resistors is employed between the 5V supply and the ground, resulting in a different current intensity, and what matters most, in a distinctive voltage drop after the R1 resistor. Thus the voltage read in analog pin 3 will have a different value for each distinctive button (or buttons) pressed. The software will then be in position to determine appropriate actions for the button event. The values of the resistors R1-R6, Rb and RGND should maximize resolution of voltage readings at the analog pin. The possibility of simultaneously pressed buttons makes this objective much more complex. This is a problem to be solved with a future article.
If the jumper pads to the board backside (see picture below) are not bridged, then the analog pin 3 is detached completely from the buttons circuit and can be freely used for any other purpose.

I spent 10 days in Hawaii and brought along a small intro waterproof camera. The Olympus Tough is good down to 15 meters, so deep enough to take scuba diving, it shoots raw at 16mb files, and has accessories to give you various focal lengths, including a fish eye which is very useful for underwater work, plus a floatation strap so it won't sink if it slips out of your hands (very useful and came in handy a lot). The functionality is that of a consumer point and shoot, which comes with the territory I guess for a camera under 350$, but does have some easy to access priority functions which is important when working underwater. For the money it's quite a good little piece of gear.
I took it snorkelling everyday, down on my first couple scuba dives, and even along a night swim with manta rays to shoot some video.
But this isn't a camera review! The main thing is that I got to play around and experiment under water for the first time and I loved it.
One thing I noticed was that I was freed from using a horizon line and could see the world so differently without that one factor. Another important difference from shooting on terra firma is that I was really at the mercy of nature, whether I was shooting while snorkelling or underwater while scuba diving.
Obviously the main issue with this type of work is breathing, and being conscious of where my next breath is coming from. The second factor was the energy in the ocean and where it was taking me, sometimes for the good, sometimes against my will. It's very hard to stay in one place, as everything from the plants to fish to you, are being moved by the unseen energy of the water. The third factor was visibility and not seeing what was out there to shoot (due to the colour of the water or light issues) until the very last moment a lot of the time. Shooting on the surface (snorkel) or underneath (scuba) was dangerous/life threatening, overpowering, and required a willingness to instantly react to get the shots you hoped to get.
Bottom line is it's a very freeing experience if you allow it to be. Certain rules still apply like framing and rules of thirds, but only if you want them to. They are very easy to break and let go of while still creating something that is pleasing on the eyes. When I came home I bought full 5 inch wetsuits for myself and my daughter. I can't always get to exotic locations to have fun so want to be ready to jump in here in the Pacific Northwest when the inspiration is there.
I was lucky on my dive because three pro shooters were on the boat with me. They were all using D800's, in pro housings, with two light attachments. To fully outfit myself with a similar rig would cost around 10K, and every time you change lenses need a different accessory for it, and each time you upgrade to a new body, BOOM, you have to drop another 2-3k for a new matching housing. So diving and shooting like a pro is an expensive game, and you have to either be independently wealthy to play along, or have a business plan to make money from your underwater shooting.
If you've had any experiences with diving/snorkeling, positive or not, I'd love to hear your personal stories and about the gear solutions you came up with.

Caring for Newborn Lovebirds
A newborn baby lovebird is a wonderful bundle of joy. Its birth is both a happy moment for the owner and for its parents. In this article, we will take a look at the signs that a lovebird egg is going to hatch, how to care for newborn lovebirds, and how to care for the parents, as well.
How Do I Know When Lovebird Eggs Are Going to Hatch?
Lovebirds lay a lot of eggs after mating, but not all of them will hatch into chicks. Generally, out of ten, one or two eggs will hatch. Sometimes, none of the eggs will hatch! At times, it may happen that one chick may be hatched after a mother lovebird lays around 40-50 eggs. This happened in my case with my female lovebird, Lulu.
How do you know if a lovebird egg is going to hatch?
- You'll see changes in egg color.
- The mother bird will incubate the egg.
- You'll notice nesting behavior.
- The mother bird may become more aggressive.
- The father lovebird will feed the mother.
Each of these signs is described fully below.
1. Changes in Egg Color
The white color of the eggs changes from a light gray to a dark gray. This indicates that a baby is growing inside the egg.
2. Incubation
If any of the eggs laid by the mother lovebird contain babies, she will sit on them (incubate) continuously without much break. She will appear fluffy and slightly bigger than her normal self. This way, she provides the necessary heat for a chick's growth. This is another obvious sign that a chick may hatch after this period.
3. Nesting Behavior
While sitting on her eggs, the mother lovebird will shred paper that you provide for the nesting. This behavior will increase significantly during incubation (nesting behavior). This way she builds a nest for her upcoming babies, which is another sign of hatching.
4. Aggression
A mother lovebird tends to be aggressive, especially when we touch her cage. She worries that we may try to harm her eggs. She may try to bite the male lovebird, too. At this stage, try your best to give her space and don't do anything which annoys or angers her.
5. Regurgitation
The mother lovebird sits on her eggs and doesn't eat. The male lovebird feeds her (regurgitation) every few hours and this is an obvious sign of an egg hatching.
Newborn Baby Lovebird
The first sign of a chick hatching will be its cry. It will make small crying sounds every now and then.
I still remember how my lovebirds, Mumu and Lulu, had their first chick hatched. It was born earlier this year on the 13th of January. Mumu had chirped continuously from his cage, but we didn't know why. We had assumed that maybe he was simply chirping. When I opened his cage covers, I noticed a newborn baby kicking its legs in the air!
Caring for a Baby Lovebird
Baby lovebirds are tiny and delicate and require lots of care. It is really important to follow the points I mentioned below so that your baby lovebird gets cared for properly.
What a Baby Lovebird Needs
- Support
- Food
- Warmth
- Cleanliness
- Sleep
1. How to Support a Baby Lovebird
Make sure that the baby lovebird is placed in the nest box. It should be kept between two unhatched eggs for support. This way if the baby rolls around, it will stay remain in the same position.
2. Food a Baby Lovebird Needs
Make sure that the baby is being properly fed by the female lovebird; you will notice her feeding the baby. She will bring up food in her beak and feed it to her chick.
Be sure to provide fresh water, healthy foods like corn, spinach, seeds, apple, banana, and crushed egg shells to both the parent lovebirds.
In some cases, it's possible that a female lovebird won't feed the chick properly. In such situations, you should gently take the baby in their hands and try to feed it a little lovebird formula.
You can feed the chick by using a syringe. It might reject the food from you in the beginning, but do try until it accepts the formula. Do make sure that the formula is thin, without lumps, and slightly warm. Avoid crop burn by making sure the formula is just below body temperature—a thermometer can be used.
3. Keep the Baby Lovebird Warm
Warmth is something that is necessary for a chick's growth. Along with healthy food, it also needs warmth and proper sleep to stay healthy.
Cover your lovebirds' cage even during summers. You can use light pillow covers to do this. In winters, make sure to put baby blankets around the cage so that the chick as well as its parents, stay warm.
If your area has extreme winters, make sure to cover your lovebirds' cage with heavier blankets to provide extra warmth.
4. Keep the Cage Clean
Your lovebirds' cage should be cleaned daily, along with the seeds and water bowls, too. Fresh food should be provided whenever required and no food should be kept in the cage for more than two hours.
Towels, papers, and magazines can be used to put over the base of the cage. Besides helping in keeping the cage warm, female lovebirds require papers for shredding and playing.
Clean the dried grass inside the nest box whenever you feel wetness. Ensure the grass is never wet or else the baby might get sick.
5. Sleep
Newborn baby lovebirds are really tiny and require lots of sleep. Ensure that the chick is getting proper and peaceful sleep at all times.
How to Care for Parent Lovebirds
- Make sure they are well fed.
- Fresh water and healthy foods should be made available at all times.
- Seed and water bowls should be cleaned properly.
- The cage's base should be covered with paper.
- Make sure your lovebirds are not bored or frustrated. It's important to give them attention too.
- Let your pets out for playing and make sure they are happy.
- Ensure that your lovebirds are getting peaceful and uninterrupted sleep for at least 12 hours.
Hand-raising newborn lovebirds is a difficult task, but with proper care and attention, they can grow into loving and healthy pets. My lovebirds' chick didn't survive for long, but I'm happy that I got the opportunity to raise my male lovebird, Mumu.
Happy hand-raising!

Questions & Answers
My lovebird does not take care of her newborns so they die. This is the third one. Can I take the newborn out and feed it myself? Does it need a cage?
You can definitely feed the newborn yourself. You don't need a cage, you can place the chick in a brooder filled with dried grass. That will help in keeping it warm.Helpful 40
My lovebird is not feeding her newborn hatchlings. Is it ok to put them in a nest box with my other female lovebird and her babies?
I'm not sure if the other female lovebird will accept the newborn chicks. Try putting them near her. If she doesn't feed them, you need to feed them yourself.Helpful 24
Can I hand feed newborn lovebirds?
You can definitely hand feed them. But an age of around 3 weeks in an lovebird makes it easier to handle them.Helpful 3
How big is a lovebird?
A lovebird is around 50g in weight and 5-7 inches (13-17 cm) in height.Helpful 1
My baby lovebirds are about 7 weeks old. They're trying to leave the nest, but the parents won't let them. It's like they're trying to protect them but it is making them fearful. Can I put them into their own cage?
Yes, please put them in a separate cage as they are getting mature gradually. Please include lots of safe toys for them.Helpful 2

How old does the baby have to be to put a closed leg band
Hi Sakina this is Jasmine here. One of my lovebird egg has hatched and the mother is sitting on the baby. Why is she sitting on the baby?
Umm a lovebird does not lay 40-50 eggs they only lay about 4,5-7 they don't lay that many
Helooo..i have 2 love birds whichnstarted laying eggs.. but the birds breaked the eggs. What to do should i keep the eggs seperate? Pls advice me
Hi my love birds have started mateing and are nesting should i feed them a special diet??. If so can u please let me know thankyou
I cannot thank you enough, Sakina! My lovebirds recently had eggs and with your help I now have four very healthy babies. You should be really proud of your forum and how many birds and humans it has helped. I've learned so much from you.
Thanks ...plsss give me some suggestions for lovebirds nd their chick....at this stage ..like egg hatching and all..
Thanks again
My lovebirds chick die in two ...I don't know why ..what the reason???plss tell what should I do .. I'm worried about it
The person who said both her love birds died in the morning leaving behind their eggs. OMG !!! What a heart breaking story! I just lost my girl of18 yrs. I have her first born and her mate. But not a day goes by that I don't cry she has only been gone for 2 months. I miss her so much. Love birds mate for life. I thought I was going to lose him too. I can't imagine the pain that person experienced. Loosing 2at once. Then the uncertainty of the eggs left behind. I'm getting choked up now just thinking about it. I'm so sorry for her.
I removed the chick, and went to the local pet shop where I got food and a heating pad as well as a syringe. I warmed it up in my hands and have now placed it on the heating pad. Things are looking better for the baby now as it is moving around a lot more where as before it was just lying still trying to keep itself warm. Thank you so much
My lovebird pair laid 4 eggs and they all hatched, this morning when I checked I saw that 3 of the babies had died (I followed your above advice and removed them) but now the mom is spending more time out the nesting box than in it. Should I leave the baby or take it out and care for it?
I have two (male and female) peach-faced lovebirds and have laid eggs. There was two eggs, and they had been sitting on the eggs constantly for a while, but sadly one day I found one of the eggs, broken at the bottom of the cage. I'm not sure if it means there was something wrong with the egg, but now there is still one egg in the nest and it has been about a month (maybe more) and it still hasn't hatched. Does it mean they won't hatch at all? Is there a problem with the egg? Should I take the egg out? After some research, I realised a lot of people incubate their eggs outside of the cage (with an incubator), but I don't really want to do that. Is it still ok to take the egg out, check if there is a chick in it, then put it back in? I'm sort of stuck, so do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi there, I'm hand raising a 20-25day old chick, he has some air in his crop which is quite visable on feeding, is this normal? Also the little chick is super super noisy constantly chirping away and doesn't seem to sleep very much. It'll fall asleep briefly when cupped in my hands but rarely for longer than a few mins. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance
Hi - our lovebird mumma is pulling her feathers out and looks really scruffy now - I'm slightly worried! She's seems OK in herself but just looks poorly. She chucks the bedding we give her out and when we've left fresh foods for her she doesn't eat them - nor does Daddy bird. Is there anything more we could be doing? Also - where do you get the baby bird formula? Do you make it yourself or can you buy it? Many thanks!!!
My lovebrid kisses hatched 3 eggs was feeding them well until my other female lovebrid peaches went into the nest and kisses let the babies die why is this I'm so sad
Thanks for sharing the details
Hi Sakina
Your posts are really informative thanks. I have a quick question, I bot a 3 week old chick 10 days ago and was handing feeding it with appropriate formula and it used happily eat around 5ml, but suddenly since last 2 days it's hardly eating 1ml even thou it cries and the crop is almost empty, when I try to feed it just tries to run away and doesn't want to open its mouth, any idea why is it behaving this way?
When the baby lovebirds hatch their eggs, how long it takes for them ready for parenting?
can broken eggs survive? what should i do? my lovebird had only one egg left. i cant even afford to make or buy a incubator
My love bird lay 5eggs 3 hatched and 2died inside the pot what should I do? Can I leave the dead ones inside the pot or should I take out please suggest mam
My Lovebirds are not feeding the babies and not making them warm , they are not caring the babies . I think i must take a proper action . I think i must take or of them . But i dont know what to feed and where the food get and there are no petshops here. Can we make food for them , if we can make something please tell how to do this ? please reply fastly
Hi....,..I want to know that what are the best food for love birds and their babes....
HI !☺,I have a few urgent questions that I would really like you to awnser please.the mother keeps attacking the father because she is being protective over her 5 week old baby, and the mother keeps on being extremely aggressive and won't let the father eat or drink .we are wondering if we should move the father out of the cage and seperate the mother from the father . And if we should seperate them, then how long should we seperate them?
Ok ty I also built a large cage into a three tier and put them on top with access to middle cage where mom and dad are that can be sealed.
Ok I put them in their own cage for only the day they kept crying and mom did too so I will let them spend days in their own cage for a week before permanently moving them. My heart was breaking from the crying.
Can I put them in their own cage now?
Hi, My baby bird is 3 weeks and 4 days old and when I try to take it out of the cage the mother becomes EXTREMELY aggressive, when I take it out it's very difficult to put the baby back in the nest box. I am not sure if I should be removing the nest box and if I should keep the baby in the same cage. I want to be able to play with baby but still give access to the mother to feed it.
Bella and Archimedes
Thank you I also put in 3 separate tents at different levels and this has helped. Yes the oldest is eating on own and the middle too. The mother only seems concerned about the youngest. She even bites the dad for feeding the other two. I have named them Red(because has red spot on tell), Comfort (because very secure), and Hope(because so tiny).
Hi the oldest bird gets bit by mom now when in the brooder or when returning to brooder or begging for food should I intervene? I have a cage that can be separated should I separate or put him/her in own cage? Also the male bird keeps getting out I don't know how but when I come in he's out and can't get back in.
@Sakina Hello and thank you for your prompt response. If I move the baby bird to a brooder now, how will the parents access it?and will the parents continue to feed it until the 3rd week passes and I can feed the formula. Also if I start the baby on formula on the 3rd week will the parents abandon feeding it?
I have 2 adult love birds and 1 layed 7 eggs and only 1 hatched. It hatched on May 21st .i have a couple of questions.I am wondering when I can take out the baby chick from the nesting box and if I feed it formula will the parents continue to feed it or will the parents abandon the baby and stop feeding it?And what should i do with the eggs that did not hatch should we keep them or throw them out?
The mom keeps trying to bite or block him/her from the box but eventually let's him her back in should I do? The dad feeds him/her mom doesn't.
Ok I will also the oldest bird got flew back to cage from about 10 feet away I was cleaning their box and the cage. Is it time to put in a cage? He/She is also eating seeds.
The male will only eat carrots apples corn. The female will only eat apples and corn. I have not tried egg shells, grapes, or spinach leaves but I will.
The two oldest one is getting feathers on it's back but you can still see spots should I be worried? The youngest one has all his/her feathers. Do they need vitamins?
Ok I put them down for a little but put divider in the mom tried pulling baby through the bars the baby is ok geez scary so I will put up a board on the lower half so she can't grab the babies. Also the older two are eating seeds they still don't have all their feathers though. The little one is usually alone and hungry he/she will eat the formula. The older two also are starting to beat there wings. When can I give baths? When can they go in their own cage?
Hi the oldest baby bird flew out of box today down to bottom of cage. I let him/her stay for a little but he/she started to struggle to get back in the box. Should I have not put him/her back. I also put the middle one back also a few days ago this one is very confident though. The older one is timid and nervous so I was shocked to see him/her fly down.
April 27th May 3 and May 8th are when they were born.
What temp should the formula have?
I have had all three in brooder with parents having access. The small one is always hungry and I pull to feed when I can the other two will not feed from me. When can I put them in their own cage I have tried to put seedin the brooder but the parents push it out and even nips at older two for trying to eat it. What can I do at this point?
Yes the mom is coming out more and more and taking treats from my hand but the male won't take treats while she is out he yells and nips at her
I will put brooder inside cage on bottom with hole for parents to have access I will have access some way from exterior. Are you sure if I touch the babies they won't reject them
Ok ty so much I will permanently move them all Thursday
Thank you I put new cage against the cage and they are going back and forth on Thursday I will close it after they are comfortable and move babies to the new nesting box. I'm not sure about a brooder because I don't have heating pad to place under it. Any other suggestions?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) advises parents to make biannual dental appointments for children, beginning approximately six months after the first tooth emerges.
These two important yearly visits allow the pediatric dentist to monitor new developments in the child's mouth, evaluate changes in the condition of teeth and gums, and continue to advise parents on good oral care strategies.
The pediatric dentist may schedule additional visits for children who are particularly susceptible to tooth decay or who show early signs of orthodontic problems.
What is the purpose of dental checkups?
First, the pediatric dentist aims to provide a "good dental home" for the child. If a dental emergency does arise, parents can take the child for treatment at a familiar, comfortable location.
Second, the pediatric dentist keeps meticulous records of the child's ongoing dental health and jaw development. In general, painful dental conditions do not arise overnight. If the pediatric dentist understands the child's dental health history, it becomes easier to anticipate future issues and intervene before they arise.
Third, the pediatric dentist is able to educate parents and children during the visit. Sometimes the pediatric dentist wants to introduce one or several factors to enhance tooth health - for example, sealants, fluoride supplements, or xylitol. Other times, the pediatric dentist asks parents to change the child's dietary or oral behavior - for example, reducing sugar in the child's diet, removing an intraoral piercing, or even transitioning the child from sippy cups to adult-sized drinking glasses.
Finally, dental X-rays are often the only way to identify tiny cavities in primary (baby) teeth. Though the child may not be feeling any pain, left unchecked, these tiny cavities can rapidly turn into large cavities, tooth decay, and eventually, childhood periodontal disease. Dental X-rays are only used when the pediatric dentist suspects cavities or orthodontic irregularities.
Are checkups necessary if my child has healthy teeth?
The condition of a child's teeth can change fairly rapidly. Even if the child's teeth were evaluated as healthy just six months prior, changes in diet or oral habits (for example, thumb sucking) can quickly render them vulnerable to decay or misalignment.
In addition to visual examinations, the pediatric dentist provides thorough dental cleanings during each visit. These cleanings eradicate the plaque and debris that can build up between teeth and in other hard to reach places. Though a good homecare routine is especially important, these professional cleanings provide an additional tool to keep smiles healthy.
The pediatric dentist is also able to monitor the child's fluoride levels during routine visits. Oftentimes, a topical fluoride gel or varnish is applied to teeth after the cleaning. Topical fluoride remineralizes the teeth and staunches mineral loss, protecting tooth enamel from oral acid attacks. Some children are also given take-home fluoride supplements (especially those residing in areas where fluoride is not routinely added to the community water supply).
Finally, the pediatric dentist may apply dental sealants to the child's back teeth (molars). This impenetrable liquid plastic substance is brushed onto the molars to seal out harmful debris, bacteria, and acid.
If you have questions or concerns about when to schedule your child's dental checkups please contact your pediatric dentist.
It had been almost 10 years since I my last visit to the dentist. I am one of those with "dental phobia", but thanks to Dr. Pardo and her employees I have overcome my fear!
The office is always clean, bright, and welcoming. Nelcy, is usually who you first encounter and she always makes you feel welcomed. Dr. Pardo and her employees have always made me feel comfortable while in the dental chair. They also offer you Bluetooth headphones when getting a procedure done!
I highly recommend Dr. Pardo's office when looking for a new dentist in the Glendora area.
Brynne V.
My wife and I have been having this debate on dentists for a number of years. When she moved to my town, she started seeing my dentist. And she would always tell me 'your dentist sucks, I've had better!' I would argue that I've been going to my dentist for years - through college and now as an adult and I thought my dentist was just fine. But I really had no other dentist, so I didn't know any better. Reluctantly, my wife decided to just stay with my dentist, because they were nearby and we only saw them twice a year for cleanings anyway. But then we moved and had kids and my wife said since we are now using her insurance, she gets to pick the dentist. I begrudgingly agreed. Let me just say, she was right (pause for wife's 'I-told-you-so-look'). I am so glad we changed!
Looking back, my old dentist wasn't as personable and as gentle as Dr. Pardo and her hygienists. For a long time, I just thought all the discomfort I went through was just a part of regular dentistry. I was so wrong. I was never asked so many times how I was doing or if I was feeling any discomfort. My old dentist and her hygienist often leaned on my shoulder or face during cleanings. And when they flossed me, they would cause my gums to bleed. I never really gave it much thought until it stopped happening. Dr. Pardo and her hygienist were very conscious about patient comfort and care. And after years with my old dentist, it was very refreshing. Dr. Pardo is also very knowledgeable in her practice- often giving tips, suggestions and great advice when it came to our oral care. She is also great with our kids. She is very patient and understanding and puts them at ease at every appointment, but will still go after them when it comes to brushing and flossing. I highly recommend Pardo Dentistry if you're looking for a dentist. You will not be disappointed!

The Bombay High Court has asked Axis Bank to deposit $15.45 million (around Rs 104 crore) with the court in a dispute with motor racing franchisee Formula One World Championship Ltd.
Justice SJ Kathawala, on December 21, directed the country's third-largest private-sector lender to deposit the money by 28 December. The money will be put in a nationalised bank for 90 days and the court will hear the matter again on 9 January.
Senior counsel FE Divitre, who appeared for Royal Bank of Scotland, argued that this court had no jurisdiction to hear the suit and questioned Axis Bank's ability to pay the money. To prove the bank's ability, the court directed it to deposit money in the court.
The genesis of the dispute lies in the fight between Formula One and its India franchisee owner Jaiprakash Associates Ltd, which had entered into the contract to organise an Indian Grand Prix event from 2011 to 2015. However, the event was held only for the first three years and Jaiprakash later failed to pay the amount to Formula One as per the contractual agreement.
Jaiprakash had furnished the guarantee in the form of a letter of credit to set up the business. Formula One wanted to invoke the guarantee and move the money to a designated bank in the UK. Axis Bank opposed this arguing that the country's revenue department had issued an order to attach the letter of credit, which can't be invoked until this attachment order was vacated.
Axis Bank had issued the four guarantees, with combined value of $50.5 million, on behalf of Jaiprakash and RBS is acting as the intermediary. If Formula One encashes the letter of credit, Axis Bank will have to pay RBS, which in turn will pay Formula One. Axis Bank will then recover the money from Jaiprakash by invoking the corporate guarantee the company has given.
Chandubhai Mehta, managing partner at law firm Dhurve Liladhar & Co, who is representing Axis Bank, confirmed the development but refused to comment since the matter is in court.

Foot Spa using COMFORT 600 Bucket
A novel way of foot care using SG-2000 spa machine and COMFORT 600 multifunctional bucket!
Among others, the erect posture distinguishes us, the human beings, from animals. We stand on two legs and feet and can walk or run using this unique capability provided to us by the Nature. Due to this very posture and due to our weight, our feet have to bear extra-ordinary strain when we stand, walk or run. As we also wear shoes to protect our feet from physical trauma, the stuffy and cramped space inside shoes create environment of sweat and tightness. For this very reason, our feet deserve and need relaxation and loving care, for their optimum functionality and prevention of health problems related to lower legs and feet.
According to the theory of Chinese Traditional Medicine, our body has 360 acupuncture points. Out of these, 60 are located on our feet! According to this theory, soles of our feet represent area of our heart and thus called our "Second Heart".
Because of the very position of the feet, if they remain stressed, tense, or exposed to over-work for a longer time, may lead to stasis of blood, accumulation of products of metabolism, and numerous toxins.
In persons with long-standing diabetes, the diabetic neuropathy leads to numbness of feet and poor blood circulation. This sometimes may lead to gangrene of the area (from toes to whole foot or more). Doctors then have no choice to amputate the affected foot or leg, to save the life. The affected persons then become wheelchair ridden or have to get support of artificial limb, etc. All this can be avoided to certain extent by controlling the diabetes, improving the blood circulation of area and taking good care of feet.
COMFORT 600 Multi-functional Ultrasonic Bubble Bucket, used in combination with SG-2000 machine can be a very useful way of podiatric care. It may help support our foot health (including ankles and lower leg) and prevent many adverse consequences. Super powerful bubbles and ultrasonic vibrations produced in the COMFORT 600 Bucket by SG-2000 stimulates five major effects:
Enhancement of metabolism
COMFORT 600 Multifunctional Ultrasonic Bubble Bucket can be used for:
Leg relaxation, relief and care

When Kristi and Eric Kinlaw opened up The Bee's Knees on 10th Street in downtown Augusta about 15 years ago, it wasn't just luck.
The Kinlaws put a lot of time and effort into working jobs throughout downtown Augusta to learn the ins and outs of the food and beverage industry.
Just this month, the Kinlaws happily announced that they officially own the building on 10th Street that houses both of their restaurants.
While it is a huge milestone for the husband-and-wife team, the opportunity didn't just fall in their laps.
They had to work for it.
"We are definitely not opportunists," Eric Kinlaw said, laughing. "I moved here in 1989, back when I was 15. And I started working at the Boll Weevil from about 1993 to 1998."
Back then, there were only a handful of downtown restaurants that had jobs for young people willing to work hard.
"Everybody used to work at Boll Weevil," Kristi Kinlaw said, chuckling. "People still come up to me all the time and say, 'Yeah, I know Eric. We used to work together at Boll Weevil.'"
When Coco and Jayson Rubio decided to take a chance and open The Soul Bar in a vacant storefront on Broad Street back in 1995, Eric Kinlaw was there to help.
"I started working at the Soul Bar in 1995 as a bartender when they opened," Eric Kinlaw recalled. "I was there seven years. I also worked at Blue Sky Kitchen in 1998 right when Barry (Blackston) opened it."
Around that same time, Kristi Kinlaw moved to Augusta when she was 19 years old.
"My first job downtown was at Luigi's back in 1999," she said. "I also worked at Blue Sky Kitchen right when Barry opened it, and then I worked at Soul Bar. That's when Eric and I first met. He actually got me a job at Blue Sky and a job at Soul Bar."
During the late 1990s, Eric Kinlaw briefly stepped outside the food and beverage industry to start a vintage clothing store in the former D Timm's building on Sixth Street in downtown Augusta. Ironically, it was called The Bee's Knees vintage clothing store.
"That was in 1999, but I closed that store and met Kristi almost immediately in 2000," Eric Kinlaw said.
By 2002, the two had joined forces to transform the old Bush's Flower Shop on 10th Street between Broad and Ellis into a new tapas bar called The Bee's Knees.
"At the time, we were both bartending at Soul Bar and our original concept was, we wanted to open up a restaurant that had a really great bar and just served really good food late at night," Kristi Kinlaw said. "We were thinking along the lines of what we always wanted, which was a place to go after work that wasn't Waffle House or Krystal."
When the Kinlaws traveled to nearby Athens, they enjoyed eating at a restaurant called the Speakeasy on West Broad Street.
"The Speakeasy had tapas, and we thought that was a really cool menu," Kristi Kinlaw said.
Eric Kinlaw had seen similar, successful tapas restaurants while traveling around the West Coast in cities such as San Francisco and Seattle.
"We just wanted a cool place for the community. Something that wasn't here that we always wanted for downtown Augusta. But we were young," Eric Kinlaw said, laughing. "It was a lot of work. A lot of work."
Even though the two had spent several years bartending and waiting tables, Kristi Kinlaw admits owning a business brought on several new challenges.
"Sure, we worked in restaurants, but I don't think we knew what we were getting into at all," she said. "I was literally 23 years old when we opened up Bee's."
The two quickly learned it is not all fun and games when you are responsible for every aspect of a restaurant.
"It seems glamorous, but you have to be a plumber and an electrician and a carpenter and a jack-of-all trades," Kristi Kinlaw said. "If you are not all of those things, you'll probably go out of business because you'll have to pay people to do those things."
As owners, you also have to be willing to work with a lot of different personalities over the years, Kristi Kinlaw said.
"You can't be selfish because you are providing livelihoods for so many people," she said. "You have to look at yourself alongside everyone because that is really what a true mom-and-pop restaurant is all about. It's not a bunch of people working for us. It's all of us working together. I would love to come down here and just be a chef, but there's so much more to it."
You have to be everything from a psychologist to a bookkeeper to a plumber all in one day, Eric Kinlaw said.
"I've seen so many people come down here and say, 'I can cook. I can have a 12-person dinner party at my house. I am going to open a restaurant,'" he said. "But that is not the reality of it at all. It takes a lot of time and a lot of work, and the profits aren't high."
In fact, the Kinlaws said they borrowed a little more than $30,000 to open The Bee's Knees in 2002, and it took them several years to pay off that loan.
"To be honest, we opened Bee's for nothing, and it took us years to pay it off," Eric Kinlaw said.
It is unheard of these days to spend only $30,000 to start a business in downtown Augusta, Kristi Kinlaw said.
"You could never do that now," she said, chuckling. "But, back then, we did everything. We assembled and stained our chairs ourselves. In fact, they are the same ones we have today. We pressure washed our brick wall. You have to be willing to do it yourself, and we did it all."
By owning a restaurant, you truly learn the meaning of commitment, Eric Kinlaw said.
"Do it because you love it," he said. "You have to have a passion for it. You can't do it for anything else. It doesn't work if you do it for the fun of it because it's not always fun."
One of the keys to their success is having a core group of employees who have been with them for several years and understand their passion for local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients, as well as their commitment to recycling all glass, metal, cardboard and paper in both of their restaurants.
"You have to be a bee," Kristi Kinlaw said. "In being a bee, that means you get it. You understand what we are doing. You get the concept. You are proud of it. You are proud of the quality you are serving. You understand the importance of recycling, and you understand the reasons why we want sustainable and regional ingredients. You have to just get it. That's being a bee. And not everybody is going to be a bee. But the ones that get it, stick around for a long time."
The Kinlaws also were never afraid to try new concepts in their restaurants.
In fact, when The Bee's Knees first opened in 2002, the local media had to explain to residents the idea behind a tapas restaurant.
"Bee's Knees is a tapas bar, which means that the menu is comprised of small dishes (appetizer size) that are meant to be shared," The Augusta Chronicle wrote in 2002. "The bartenders are the servers. You come in, order a little food, a bottle of wine and just share everything. Many of the 16 dishes are vegetarian (with some being vegan), and the only meat served is seafood."
Local Augustans weren't used to a mainly vegetarian menu, especially one that offered vegan dishes.
"I remember we were also the first place to have Wi-Fi downtown," Eric Kinlaw said, laughing. "People were amazed because we offered it for free."
But the Kinlaws liked experimenting with new technology.
For instance, not long after the first iPods hit the market in the early 2000s, the <<IT>>Metro Spirit<<IT>> interviewed Eric Kinlaw about using his iPod to play music inside The Bee's Knees.
"When we pulled that iPod out, people were in disbelief," Kristi Kinlaw said, adding that many people didn't even know what it was back then. "When we worked at Soul Bar, there were racks and racks of CDs everywhere. We would hurry to put on the next CD while we were trying to work the bar. So people didn't know what to think about an iPod."
About five years after opening The Bee's Knees, Eric Kinlaw also had the opportunity to become part-owner of Sky City with Soul Bar's owners, Coco and Jayson Rubio.
So, in June 2008, the three teamed up to purchase the 500-person capacity, live music venue at 1157 Broad St.
Since opening almost 10 years ago, Sky City has showcased hundreds of local bands and attracted some big-time national acts including Drive-By Truckers, Jucifer, Fishbone, Dinosaur Jr., Cage the Elephant, Black Lips and Carolina Chocolate Drops.
"Over at Sky City, Coco handles the creative end, Jayson does the bar and I do the business," Eric Kinlaw said. "I basically make sure the lights stay on, the bills are paid and I try to fix things. I can't believe it's going on 10 years at Sky City now."
Then, in 2015, the Kinlaws introduced downtown Augusta to their newest restaurant and pub, Hive Growler Bar.
The Hive surprised locals by offering growlers-to-go, a concept that was still fairly new to the area a few years ago. Basically, The Hive introduced residents to unique 32- and 64-ounce jugs of beer and wine that patrons could take home.
It was definitely not your typical downtown pub.
The main concept was the Kinlaws wanted all of the more than 70 beverages to be offered on tap, including beer, wine, craft sodas, kombucha, cold-press coffee and cocktails.
The Hive is truly a "tap house."
And its menu features everything from crawfish boudin balls to tuna poke salad to smoked gouda nacho burgers.
"I have always loved to cook since I was little," Kristi Kinlaw explained. "I am from southern Louisiana, where cooking and eating is everything. It's the whole culture down there."
Growing up, her family cherished food and respected the art of making traditional dishes, she said.
"I remember sitting on my aunt's kitchen counter — she was an amazing cook — and just mashing up potato salad and watching her in the kitchen," she said. "And my grandma cooked every day. We never really ate out at restaurants growing up."
Instead, almost every meal was a family event, Kristi Kinlaw said.
"My grandma would cook a big meal in the morning, and everybody would come in throughout the whole day to enjoy it," she said. "So, any time of the day, she would have food on the stove and you would make a plate. It is just something I grew up with and I was just kind of good at. Using different flavors and seasonings and the timing of making dishes so they would all be ready at the same time, that came really natural to me."
Now that the Kinlaws have three children of their own — a daughter who just started at Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School and twin boys who are 4 years old — the couple is excited about the future of not only their restaurants, but downtown Augusta as a whole.
"A lot has changed since we opened Bee's Knees in 2002," Kristi Kinlaw said. "Bee's grew up with us. It became more mature with us as we matured. It went from this late-night bar, because that's what we did when we were in our 20s, to kind of a family restaurant because these days, we have a family."
And now that they own the building that houses both restaurants on 10th Street, the sky is the limit, Kristi Kinlaw said.
"It's exciting, and it was kind of a surprise," she said, adding that the previous owner, Bryan Haltermann, didn't seem interested in selling the building for many years. "But during the first part of the year, we began discussing it, and it was perfect timing because we couldn't have afforded to buy it 15 years ago. So the opportunity came at the right time."
The historic building was built in 1888 as Claussen's Bakery. By the 1930s, it became Maxwell's Furniture Store and eventually Bush's Florist in the 1950s until it closed in 1999.
"We always loved the location and facade of this building," Eric Kinlaw said. "It has the large windows and unique sideline layout as opposed to other downtown shotgun-style architecture."
The building also has three upstairs apartments that the Kinlaws now manage.
"We definitely want to do some improvements to the building. First of all, we want to replace the roof," Kristi Kinlaw said. "And we are trying to think of an interesting awning that we could do on The Hive side."
They have also gotten local artist Chris Murray to create a new sign for The Bee's Knees.
"It is really a cool design. We just have to figure out how to get it up there," Kristi Kinlaw said, adding that The Bee's Knees' current sign is the original Bush's Florist sign from the 1950s. "Local artist Raoul Pacheco actually painted the sign for us when we opened up Bee's in 2002. It's been great, but we need to replace it, so we had Chris Murray make a new sign that is the same shape."
Now that the Kinlaws own the building, they are also looking to eventually, possibly turn the upstairs apartment above The Bee's Knees into a catering space or rooftop deck.
"The sky is kind of the limit in terms of what we can do," Kristi Kinlaw said. "But we are not in a rush. I'm sure it will take a little while. But, now it is worth us doing because we will be improving our own building. We've always had the ideas, but now we own it. That makes all the difference."
