In my continuing series on commonly used, but invalid project management tactics and techniques, I simply could not let my traditional targets, the accountants, off the hook. I'm also going to wade back into a matter I began to address over a decade ago, but, since many of my readers are still not convinced, I simply must re-address it.
So, without further ado, here are my myths 8 and 7:
Myth 8: Nothing an accountant can do in general ledger space can produce cost or schedule performance information, or project at-completion costs or dates. Traditional management techniques are oriented toward "maximizing shareholder wealth," and all of the management information systems designed to support that goal--including generally accepted accounting practices--are based on managing assets.
Managing a project's scope, cost or schedule is a completely different animal. Unfortunately, the idea that all of an organization's information involving money simply has to come from the general ledger is a myth that dies hard, if at all, and accountants have absolutely no motive to correct that assumption.
Myth 7: Bottoms-up estimates at completion (EACs*) are more difficult, more time-consuming more expensive and less accurate than the calculated version.
According to the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International, the most detailed estimate available is named, appropriately, a detailed estimate. It is generated by a professional estimator using off-the-shelf software and is so detailed that it can be handed off to a procurement specialist to begin the buying process. However, it is only accurate to within 15 percent of the project's final cost, at best. The most commonly used formula for calculating the EAC is based on the accuracy of the cost performance index (CPI) (EAC = Budget at Completion / CPI).
Dave Christensen has definitively established that the CPI virtually never changes more than 10 percent in either direction once a project has passed the 15 percent complete point. It follows, then, that the EAC calculated using that CPI is also accurate to within 10 percent and extensive analysis has borne this out.
That being the case, the calculated EAC can be derived from three data points, whereas the bottoms-up version needs literally hundreds. That version is also more expensive, if, for no other reason than it takes more professional time to produce. Finally, since within 10 percent is more accurate than within 15 percent, the calculated version just hit the trifecta.
Looking forward to your thoughts on these two myths.
(*A bottoms-up estimate is when you have already started the project, and you re-estimate all remaining work by work breakdown structures element. You take that number, add it to the cumulative actual costs, and you have a "bottoms-up" EAC.)

So you wanna be an Ironman?
I didn't really. But I became one. Not once, but twice. I became a triathlete over 5 years ago. Call it peer pressure. Fast forward to 2012 and I complete my first Ironman distance race in Cozumel Mexico. It was incredible. Knock it off the bucket list, one and done. Fast forward again to 2014

It's funny because it's spoken to Dudley Moore by Sir John Gielgud. But Helen Mirren saying it to Russell Brand in a remake? That's just all kinds of wrong and sexy.

Apparently I suck really bad at measuring, because one of the legs was not attached at the correct height, so the table is wobbly. (And said leg is too tall to support top with the rest of the legs.
Any suggestions on best way to correct this? Should I just saw the piece off the top and re-attach it to the bottom? It's already glued and nailed to the bottom shelf part, so I'm not sure that removing it and just attaching new pieces is an option.

i also find it depends on the weather. Have had to up my chocolate ratio massively with the heat we have been having lately. Also, to avoid grainy ganache, I find using a metal whisk does the trick. Not sure why it works so much better, perhaps because the whisk heats up too and melts the chocolate as it contacts it? (I make my ganache on the stove top =)) and dont be scared to reheat ganache.. its one of the beauties of it.. it wont hurt it to reheat it.

Giving her fans a sweet treat for the weekend, Nicki Minaj just unveiled her music video for the controversial track "Only." Last night (December 11) the "Super Bass" babe took to her social media accounts to let everyone know that the clip was on its way.
Her fans have been patiently waiting for the long-anticipated "Anaconda" music video and Nicki Minaj has finally delivered the goods.
The "Pink Friday" rapper is joined in the clip by a plethora of perky posterior pals as she writhes around to a sample of Sir Mix-A-Lot's legendary hit "Baby Got Back."
She's the master of building hype, and Nicki Minaj just unveiled a new photo from her "Anaconda" music video that's sure to get the Barbz excited.
In the image, the "Super Bass" babe gets up close and personal with Drake as she performs a very special lap dance.
On Monday (August 4) he featured a photo of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna along with the number 666 and a flamed background during his concert in Toronto, but Drake insists he wasn't making a statement about the "Umbrella" babe.
In a new Twitter message, Drizzy explained that he doesn't think Ri-Ri is evil and has nothing but happy thoughts for her.
He's had quite a climb to worldwide fame, and Drake presented an impressive bill of top artists to illustrate his journey at the 5th annual OVO Fest last night (August 4).
They shared a snapshot last week, letting fans know that the battle between them was long gone. Later in the week, Drake and Chris Brown continued to squash their beef by appearing in an ESPYs skit together.
It's his first time hosting the 2014 ESPY Awards and Drake sure has some big shoes to follow. With previous emcees including Jon Hamm and Seth Meyers, the Canadian rapper had a lot of hype to live up to and so far, he's doing a marvelous job.
During his opening monologue, Drake poked fun at everyone from LeBron James to Donald Sterling - two prominent figures in the world of sports news in the past few months.
It's no secret that they've hated each other for years, all because of Rihanna, but now Chris Brown and Drake appear to have buried the hatchet.
On Thursday night (July 10), the Canadian rapper uploaded a photo via social media of himself standing next to Brown in a recording studio.

Top 3 Faves for Lip Stains
Many of you have been asking about great lip stains. They are one of my favorite things, because of how easily they add a slight color to brighten up a natural look. When a lip stick color might be too strong for the occasion, a stain can be just enough to make a statement.
Here are my top three favorite brands and shades!

do you know how to post pictures? would help alot. palms stay pretty small for about 5 years so they would be the understory until then. i always like cannas, colocasias, alocasias and musas around pools and water |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 0:11
Some palms stay small forever like lady palms. They like shade, tolerate frosts, but downsides to this plant is they grow very slow and are expensive even at medium sizes. Bananas would look fantastic! There are dawrf bananas that are edible, but they need sun to thrive. Philodendrons would also be a fantastic addition and are more shade tolerant. Actually many philodendrons prefer shade. Peace lilies make great understory plants but must be in full shade. Mine are under a tree (during the summer months) and get no direct sun and they love it. When they saw the sun for one day (wasnt even that warm) they were pretty burned. Cannas are also great and multiply fast so if you want a lot of space to be filled up quickly, cannaswill do that for you very well. There are lots of really nice colored elephant ears and alocosias. Some stay very small and others have leaves considered to be some of the largest on the planet. Heliconias are a beautiful option as well as bromeliads. Pineapple plants arent attractive when not in fruit, but when they are, they give a very tropical look. Even in the tropics, I would plant it in a nice pot as an accent plant because I just dont think they look that great in the ground unless in flower. Good luck! |

One of its common names is fireweed, which is fitting, and not just because of its bright red fall foliage. It's also appropriate because, while kochia has good forage value and can be an important part of your overall forage management, it can be the match that starts the dry tinder of a forage-related wreck if managed incorrectly.
Kochia is an invasive range plant first introduced in the U.S. around 1900 as an ornamental. But because of its drought-hardiness and ability to grow in very poor soils, it escaped and now grows throughout much of the U.S. It's particularly well-suited to semi-arid climates because of its drought, disease and insect resistance, and alkaline soil pH tolerance.
Nicknamed "poor man's alfalfa" among others, kochia usually has good forage value, often containing 11-22% crude protein depending upon soil nitrogen content and stage of maturity at the time of grazing initiation or harvesting as hay, according to Larry Hollis, Kansas State University Extension beef veterinarian. Well-managed kochia grazing, or feeding timely harvested Kochia hay, usually results in good livestock performance.
If you don't manage it correctly, however, you can be playing with fire.
If kochia plants are allowed to grow more than 18-26 in. tall or begin to develop seedheads; are drought-stressed shortly before grazing or haying occurs; or if insufficient cattle are placed in the field to keep the kochia grazed below recommended heights, various toxicity problems may occur with both harvested and grazed plants, Hollis says.
Shortly following periods of drought stress, nitrate toxicity may occur. However, the most common problem occurs as the plants approach maturity, because the seed head is the most toxic part of the plant. Oxalate accumulations as high as 6-9% (100% DM basis) are not uncommon in nearly mature green plants. Oxalates absorb into the circulation and bind with calcium to form insoluble calcium oxalate. If consumed rapidly and in very high quantities, it can lead to hypocalcemia.
"A more common problem, however, is the accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys, which causes kidney failure," Hollis says. The toxin also can also cause liver failure in cattle, sheep and horses.
These problems typically have occurred when animals have been moved off well-grazed or drought-limited native pasture and into a post-harvest wheat field, an old corral or a drylot where kochia plants have grown up and appear to be a ready source of forage for hungry livestock. Toxicity especially becomes problematic if the diet is made up almost exclusively of kochia, and animals have been consuming it for more than 30-60 days.
According to the Alternative Field Crops Manual, published by Wisconsin and Minnesota Extension, livestock should not graze kochia for more than 90-120 days to prevent oxacalate toxicity. Rotational grazing with non kochia-infested pastures can also help prevent potential toxicity.
When harvested for hay or silage, cut kochia when it's 18-26 in. high and before it has produced seed heads.
One of the first signs commonly reported with oxalate-induced kochia toxicity is increased water consumption as kidney function is altered by the toxin. This probably won't be noticed unless a producer is hauling water to his livestock and notices a sudden increase in water needs.
Another common sign is photosensitization as a result of liver failure, which appears as sunburning, particularly of lighter-skinned animals, or white patches of skin on multi-colored animals. Skin areas unprotected or poorly protected by hair, such as around the eyes and the udders, are usually most severely affected.
The safest way to feed kochia is in the smallest amounts possible, according to "Feeding Kochia to South Dakota Livestock," a South Dakota State University fact sheet. Alternate feeding and dilution feeding are recommended; feeding kochia in an alternating pattern such as every other week, for example. However, it's best to avoid rations containing more than 50% kochia, according to the fact sheet.
If toxicity signs are noted, animals should be immediately removed from kochia fields, or feeding kochia hay should be stopped and animals given access to high-quality feedstuffs, Hollis says. Many of the animals not visibly showing signs of the toxin will recover, but some of the more severely affected animals may die as a result of kochia toxicity.
For more information, see the Alternative Field Crops Manual here or Feeding Kochia to South Dakota Livestock here.

Hey everyone!
I've been having a rough time with my garden. I tried to plant parsley and attract Eastern Blacks, but they haven't come yet. I'm tired of waiting around ;) and this afternoon, when I came home, I found out that the garden guy came and sprayed pesticide all over my lawn and backyard! Any chances of raising butterflies are now dead. So I know people say, just wait they will come, but I don't want to wait that long... so I've decided to take the easy way out. I want to know if any of you can sell me Black swallowtail eggs or chrysalids. If you can't sell me any, but you know where I can find them, please respond back. I live in New Jersey, and am willing to pay in full. Thank you so much and again, please respond!!! |

Cancellation or nonrenewal is permitted under 2914(4) for a driver's license suspension or revocation that occurs during the policy period or within 180 days prior to its last renewal date; 36 months is not the correct time frame for a suspension action. The suspension shown on the driver's license was not within the statutory time frame. Although the conviction cited at the hearing is included as a basis for nonrenewal in section 2916-A(1), the company did not disclose this reason on the nonrenewal notice. As section 2917 requires the reason given on the notice to be explicit, additional reasons cannot be raised at the hearing. Last Updated: April 15, 2014 |

7 Deadly Sins Of Talking About Pop Culture
We love to argue about pop culture, because geeking out about movies, books and television makes them even more fun. But sometimes these discussions can go to a terrible place. Here are seven mistakes to avoid when having a spirited debate about entertainment.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I purchased the Wildflower Branch collection and required some changes and the staff at Wedding Paper Divas got it all right the first time and the shipment arrived faster than I thought. The invitations were more beautiful than they look online, the card stock has a nigh weight to it and the print is fantastic. I would defiantly recommend this product."
"This invitation is one of our top 2 choices for our wedding. It is very modern but chic! Simple enough for our taste but still elegant! We love how organized and neat the style is and the texture of the paper is smooth and not to heavy!"
"We were very pleased with the way these turned out. We did change the font for the names as others have suggested - much more legible and still very pretty. A word of caution however: if you include more than just the invitation (and most people will at least have a response card), the postage may be more than regular first class even though the envelope is a standard size. We enclosed the invitation, response card, response envelope and an inner liner (which looks great) and the postage was 61 cents (!). Just be sure to weigh one at the post office before getting your stamps."
"This is a beautiful card. We ordered it in orange to match our wedding colors and it looks great. The paper is a very thick card - beautiful. The thermography printing adds elegance. A classic, simple invitation. The customer service was fantastic too - even shipping to Canada was fast and easy."
"We were originally going to order these in orange, but ended up going with the brown and we love them! The quality of the paper and printing are both excellent. There was a little snafu with Fed Ex bringing them to the wrong house (!) but we were able to track them down and so no harm done in the end."

An open systemBankgirot is an open system. It is open for both the payer and the payee. As a payer, you can always reach the payee, regardless of who you bank with. As a payee you can receive payments from anyone, regardless of who you bank with. All banks operating in Sweden can participate in the open bankgiro system. Bankgirot is the link between the sender and receiver of the payment in the system, transferring the payment and distributing information about the transaction to all the parties involved. The information is always transmitted, regardless of the participating banks at either end of the transaction.
The bankgiro numberA bankgiro number can be connected to the banks and bank accounts you choose. The Bankgiro number is not an account number, but an address that points to a bank account. When you need to receive a payment, you just need to supply your bankgiro number – you never need to give out your bank account number. This is always hidden from the payer. If you change banks, you can keep your existing bankgiro number and your bankgiro payments will continue to work in the normal way.
Efficient paymentsBankgirot can offer everything from form payments for small businesses to automated electronic payment solutions for companies with computerised accounting systems. Bankgirot has established working relations with several of the largest producers of business, financial and communications software. Together, we are creating efficient business solutions for payments, saving companies both time and money.
Effective paymentsBankgirot offers services for incoming and outgoing payments via the Bankgiro System. The most comprehensive services are Direct Debit (Autogiro), Bankgiro Receivables (Bankgiro Inbetalningar) and Supplier Payments (Leverantörsbetalningar). Bankgirot has established collaborations with several of the largest business, accounting and communication software companies. Together we create efficient business solutions for all payment needs, saving your business both time and money.
Communication and securitySecure transfer of data files is important when it comes to your company's money. Bankgirot offers a number of methods for file transfers to and from your company, depending on the size of the company and the type of IT equipment used. Electronic anti-tampering protection provides security against the file being manipulated during the transfer between your company and Bankgirot.

The MSI U210
As you can see, my test unit was the white U210. There's nothing particularly impressive about the outside of the machine, but its size doesn't make you think netbook as soon as you see it.
Not much to see on the front edge of the U210 but a few lights to show what's active on the machine and if it's on AC or battery power.
Take a gander at the left side of the U210 and you find the HDMI out, VGA out, AC port and a USB port.
The right side of the machine has a bit more going on than the left with the RJ-45 port, memory card reader, two USB ports and the headphone and mic ports. A Kensington lock port is also on this side.
The back of the U210 has nothing but the battery to look at.
That's a much larger keyboard than you will find on the average netbook and it works well, too.
My old nemesis, the glossy screen, appears on the U210. Glare is not welcome but the sharpness and colors reproduction are.
Flip the U210 over and you find the battery release and one large cover hiding the RAM and HDD sockets.

The Conundrum of Laissez-Faire Herpetoculture
Later this year someone is going to break into your house while you are sleeping. They are there to take things that do not belong to them; things you worked for, things you earned. Awakened by the noise they are making you confront them and are stunned to find that the thief is someone you had thought to be a friend. You toss him a loaded gun and scream, "Please don't shoot me!" A few minutes later, as you lie bleeding on the floor, your precious possessions gone, you cry out, "I was always so nice to him. I can't believe he shot me." For reasons unknown it never computes that you put the gun in the thief's hand. It was you that armed him with the weapon he used to wound you. Who did you vote for in the last congressional election? How about the last presidential election?
Nobody Likes You Because You're a Dragon
I recently read my daughter a bedtime story (for the 987th time) which centered on a young dragon taken in by Princess Aurora (of Sleeping Beauty fame). Starting with her husband, Prince Phillip, and continuing with each encounter with the story's other characters Aurora is met with storybook disdain for her new pet. The universal reason: dragons are dangerous. The dragon, in an effort to fit in, tries to emulate other animals who do not suffer the same unearned contempt. But dragons are what dragons are and each attempt to be something he is not leads to moments of chaos involving, as you might guess, fire. It's not until the end of the story that the dragon comes to terms with what he is and finds a place in the life of the story.
None of the characters in the story offered anecdotal evidence as to why dragons are dangerous; they just knew them to be so.
Let the UK Be a Lesson
As an American I am chronically aware that many of my fellow citizens don't pay much attention to what is going on in other countries. By no means is that an across-the-board statement; it's just something I have made note of in my interactions with others as I travel about the country. It's not unusual for Americans to be so unabashedly and ignorantly ethnocentric that they don't have the slightest idea of what is going in the rest of the world. Who am I kidding? Many don't even know what is going on in this country. Jay Leno is good at pointing this out from time-to-time in his late night talk show antics (and here). Most Americans know that something is going in in Iraq but many don't realize that Iran is different than Iraq and they certainly don't know why Israel is so despised by them. Most of us know that Princess Diana died a while back
Five Stages …Minus One
I am not too unlike you, I suspect. I have received the emails, read the blogs, followed the forum threads and participated in the related chatter. Been there. Done that. And yes, I even got a t-shirt.
Like many of you I have repeatedly railed against the unrelenting stream of assaults on reptile ownership. My passion for my position has, to my knowledge, not swayed a single opponent or politician. As is so often the case parties on opposite sides of a debate are uninterested in truly listening to and understanding the differing view. But that makes sense, doesn't it?
Pythons, Federalism and Mobility
Back in high school I sat through more than one government class. In my freshman year of college I went through the motions during a year-long course on the history of the United States. While sitting in those classrooms I wasn't really investing in the information, I was enduring it. I memorized facts, names and dates that would need to later be regurgitated on an exam. Despite the quality of my schooling I must admit that I failed to process the information as anything other than raw data. True internalization of the information didn't really happen for me. Part of the reason I missed so much was (honestly) a general lack of interest. For no good reason I found the history of places like Persia and Greece to be much more intriguing than that of my own country. History is often presented by academia as a string of names, dates, documents and military conflicts, each of which is summed up in a few paraphrased and often opinionated paragraphs. The impacts and long-term meanings of the events are not often taught in a way that encourages students to understand the information as it relates to their own lives. The end result is that many of us fail to fully connect the dots on how the events that occurred before our birth actually impact our existence. Teaching is an art form and most educators who have the ability to regurgitate facts lack the talent to make it relevant and interesting. As a result many students frequently purge the information after its usefulness on a test is complete. I do not fault my teachers for this. I take responsibility for my own actions, including the concerned attention I did not pay to my own nation's history. During my earlier years I never fully took the opportunity to explore how the decisions of the founding fathers were supposed to impact the life I am living more than two hundred years later. The past several years, however, have changed all of that in a way I never expected. If someone had told me many years ago that it would be pythons and boas that suddenly caused the processes of government to be immensely relevant I would have rolled my eyes and wandered off.
I'm not a complete noob, mind you. I have long understood the electoral college, the functions of the three branches of government, the importance of "checks and balances" and the general processes involved in making a bill into law. But there was a long period of my life when I openly stated that it didn't matter which individuals were in which positions in the state and federal government, that they had no direct impact on my day-to-day life. Because it was instilled in me to do so from a young age I have always voted in the elections; local, state and federal. I wanted my candidates to win but never really expected my life to go one direction instead of another if the results didn't go my way. I was naive. I was wrong. My eyes, today, are wide open and what I am seeing leaves me horrified, disappointed, disenfranchised and angry.
More than 200 years ago (in 1787) the Founding Fathers of our nation came together to rewrite the original Articles of Confederation, the result of which was the creation of our Constitution and what we all know to be the United States of America. Many of the original authors of the Constitution were strongly motivated by a seemingly simple theme: limit the size, scope and power of the federal government, leaving the majority of the power in the hands of individual sovereign states. Embracing the concept of federalism, our founding fathers recognized the need for a central government in addition to each state's autonomous government. There was (and is) a lot of debate over how much power the federal government should have. The United States, by Constitutional design, is a federation of states. This means that each states governs itself in addition to the presence of a federal government. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution defines the scope of the federal government. More specifically, it and the Bill of Rights are designed to limit the scope of the federal government's power over the states. That which is not the defined in the Constitution falls to the individual states to decide. Placing strong limitations on the power of the federal government was intentionally done by the people who founded this nation. The control the federal government was supposed to exert over the lives of citizens day-to-day activities was, by design, limited. That power was intended to remain with the individual states. However, largely due to two clauses in Article I, Section 8 (the so-called Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause) the federal government has piled up a long history of overstepping its Constitutional authority and increasing its power over the states. This has been happening for a long time (since the end of the Civil War) and has been progressing very quickly since the mid-1930's. This accumulation of power by the federal government has been happening for so long that the overwhelming majority of us simply take it as normal. Why would we question it? It has always been this way, hasn't it? But understand this very clearly: it is not supposed to be this way. The federal government should not be making decisions that the states are Constitutionally obliged to make on their own. I believe pet (reptile) ownership and invasive species law are excellent examples.
The 10th amendment to the Constitution should have sealed the deal on the where the bulk of the power in our federation resides. It states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." To summarize, Article I, Section 8 and 9 define the scope of power for the federal government and the 10th Amendment ensures that power not specifically given to the federal government is in the hands of the states. Take a minute and read Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and the 10th Amendment. It will take less time than it has taken you to read this far in my post. Unfortunately, several of the clauses in Article I, Section 8 are sufficiently vague that they have been twisted and mangled by both Congress and the courts in order to seize more and more power at the federal level. Reptile owners are experiencing the result of this first-hand.
Each of the fifty states is an entity that embodies the needs and priorities of the individuals who live in them. They are wonderfully diverse in geography, climate, natural resources and population. Each state is unique and the needs of one are not the same as the needs of the next. Because of their diversity it is not possible for the federal government to appreciate the impact of its decisions on individuals and communities within a state. In fact, it is not the job of the federal government to make such decisions. I direct you once again to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. The question of whether or not certain pythons and boas are a danger to the environment of a certain state is a state decision, not a federal one. I suggest that the federal government's decision to involve itself is an overstepping of its authority. Unfortunately, through more than a hunderd years of power grabbing (the creation of the Department of the Interior and two of its agencies, US Fish & Wildlife and the US Geological Survey) the federal government has given itself the power to control the states in this matter.
One of the most simple and interesting aspects of federalism that I have come to embrace is the concept of mobility. Because the power is supposed to reside in the hands of the state governments it is a citizen's right to simply move somewhere else if the state enacts laws that are incongruous with their personal goals and/or beliefs. Put more simply, if you don't like what your state is doing, leave. You can move to a state that is more closely aligned with your needs as a citizen. However, when the federal government oversteps its authority and enacts federal law it leaves citizens with nowhere to go. Because federal law is an umbrella that casts its shadow of control over all the states we are, in a very real sense, trapped. There is nowhere to go to be free of the decisions of the federal government. This should infuriate python owners in Vermont and South Dakota. Their liberty is at risk because of a perceived problem almost two-thousand miles away in the southernmost portions of Florida. For the python-loving residents of South Dakota the only way to rid themselves of such federal tyranny is to leave the country. While moving from Florida to Virginia is readily do-able for most of the population, moving from Florida to Italy is not. For me, this is the part I fear the most. If laws banning pythons and boas are enacted at a federal level there is literally nowhere to go. Mobility, which is a mechanism to free myself from the decisions of an individual state, will have been stolen from me.
The desire to increase the size, scope and power of the federal government is viewed as a positive by those who embrace statism. Statists, whose actions and philosophies are most frequently aligned with what today is the far-left Democratic party, seek to increase power of the federal government in virtually all aspects of a citizen's life. It can be seen in large scale events like the government taking an ownership stake in corporations, government run health-care and social security. It is also evidenced on a smaller scale in the desire for the federal government to impose a national ban on the importation and inter-state trade of pythons. Why does the federal government need to impose rules on states who have no capacity to be affected by the suggested spread of the Burmese python (North Dakota, for instance)? Why does the federal government simply not leave these decisions in the hands of states that deem themselves at risk? This was the intent of the Constitution, was it not? The answer can be summed up in one word: power. For statists, the acquisition of power at a federal level is taken at every opportunity in order to create a larger, stronger and more powerful central government.
As a side note: The acknowledgment that pythons may one day have the ability to spread into the lower 1/3 of the United States is one piece in the highly political argument over global warming. If the federal government concludes that the Burmese python will spread because of warming trends predicted by the USGS then it is yet one more piece of evidence that global warming is a real, human-caused, condition. Such proof will be used to support future environmental legislation. Do not think for a moment that this issue is just about pythons. The trickery engaged in by people with political agendas takes on incredibly veiled forms.
Through their own local politicians the states have contributed to the increase of the power of the federal government by accepting the federal govenrment's money to fund in-state projects. It's a nasty behavior, really. By getting federal funding for state initiatives the states are getting their funding from all American taxpayers even though there is no benefit to the other states. This smacks of abuse of power and should ring loud in the ears of reptile owners as Senator Bill Nelson of Florida (a Democrat) and House Representative Dennis Meek of Florida (also a Democrat) both introduced federal legislation to ban the importation and interstate transport of pythons (S373 and HR2811) in an effort to acquire federal tax dollars to fund the restoration efforts in the Florida Everglades. There are also added fringe benefits for both of them. Had the legislation passed their next election campaign would have heralded them as the "candidtate that saved the Everglades from the scourge of the Burmese python". Another shining example of this is the recent deal made by Senate Democrats with Ben Nelson (Democrat from Nebraska) to get the other 49 states to pay for the Medicaid expansion costs in Nebraska …forever! The taxpayers of Virginia should be venomously opposed to the idea of paying for hospitals in Nebraska. If you're not, check the mirror for your lobotomy scar.
As states accept more and more federal funding they give more and more power to the federal government. Over time they have become dependent upon the flow of money and, as a result, are often held hostage because of it. For example, in 1974 the federal government enacted the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act which federally mandated the speed limit on the nation's highways to 55 mph. In 1986 Nevada changed the speed limit to a 3-mile stretch of highway to 70 mph. Within a few hours of doing so the federal government revoked their highway funding. The state changed the limit back to 55. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law).
In the end none of this talk about the abuse of federal power really matters. And that saddens and frustrates me. The federal government has acquired the power to determine the fate of pythons and boas in the pet trade. Right or wrong the power is there. Nothing in the near future is going to change that. If the unthinkable happens and pythons and boas are added to the Lacey Act as injurious species you can rest assured that there will be legal challenges that play out over a span of years. But the fight over the fate of pythons and boas is not about science. It's about politics. Are Burmese pythons truly a threat to the lower 1/3 of the United States? In the end it doesn't really matter. This is about special interest groups, campaign contributions, pet projects, and government power. Pythons are being sold as creatures with the power to completely destroy ecosystems, hunt humans and spread disease. None of it is true. But facts don't matter …and that is a shame.

Python Rope A Dope
The reptile community has been suckered. We are falling for a very clever ruse and it is happening at this very moment.
What trick, you say? S373 and HR2811, of course. The clever nature of the trickery behind these bills has caused the reptile community to lose its perspective and react in a most unexpected way. We are now working for the other side. We are unintentionally supporting a ban. Allow me to explain.
Both S373 and HR2811 propose to add the entire genus PYTHON to the injurious species list of the current Lacey Act. If passed this will ban the importation of AND interstate transport of all pythons. This will effectively end the trade in every species of python there is. This is, of course, a horrifying proposition to python lovers everywhere. At first I laughed at the silliness of it and shook my head at how uneducated the people were who penned such legislation. But as I continued to think about it I came to realise that it may actually be brilliant wording on their part. It's brilliance lies their anticipation of our reaction. As a community we have played directly into the hands of those who wish ban the ownership of exotic animals. And leading the packed on being tricked is one of our most active voices, the United States Association of Reptile Keepers, USARK.
In my opinion USARK has officially thrown the Burmese Python under the proverbial bus. I have long feared it would one day happen but did not expect it to come so soon. On July 25th, 2009 USARK actively solicited the reptile community to contact members of the House Judiciary Committee to amend the wording of HR2811 to specifically address Burmese pythons rather than the entire python genera. In doing so they have become unintentional participants in the initiative to ban large constrictors in the United States. And I suggest that this is partially what the authors of S373 and HR2811 wanted to happen. I believe these bills are INTENTIONALLY vague (by using only the term 'python') in order to get us to say, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Don't ban all pythons! Just ban Burmse pythons! " Wait. Did we, the reptile community, really just say that? Yeah, we did.
The last I heard USARK's position was that they did not support legislation that was not based on a legitimate scientific analysis of the ability of the Burmese python to expand beyond the Florida Everglades. Has such evidence surfaced? No, it has not. But their position appears to have changed. USARK wants to be the voice of the reptile community and they appear to be suggesting that we offer up the Burmese python as a sacrifice to protect all the other pythons.
Please don't take my words to think that I am coming down on USARK as a whole. I do not intend to do so. I firmly believe that USARK has, at its foundations, nothing but the absolute best intentions for the reptile community. They are a group of people who have stood up to fill a void; a voice to represent reptile owners throughout the United States. But I do not agree with their reaction to this particular issue. And part of me thinks that they, like the rest of us, have been tricked into a position that supports the desired result of those who wish to ban the ownership of exotic animals. We have played into their hands. Just a few short months ago we were all screaming, "No. You may not ban pythons without scientific evidence to support their ability to be invasive beyond the Florida Everglades." Now, in a tiny amount of time, we seem to have changed our voice to say, "Please, please, please! Just ban Burmese pythons." The only way we could have changed our tune so quickly is if we were tricked into doing so. And tricked we have been.
If you are going to make a call on Monday to a member of the House Judiciary Committee regarding the wording of HR2811 (as the USARK suggests) you need to make a choice about what you are going to say. Are you going to advocate a change in the wording that says it's OK to ban the Burmese python or are you going to tell them that the Lacey Act should not be amended until proof can be found that pythons are a national problem rather than just an isolated problem in the south of Florida?
And by the way, there is already a bill floating around that will fund efforts to hunt Burmese pythons in the Everglades (as well as multiple dozens of other non-native creatures that get no publicity). If Burmese pythons cannot expand beyond the Everglades and we are going to hunt them down and remove them, why do we need a law banning them throughout the entire United States? In short, we don't.
Once the exotic animal banning gates are open we cannot close them. More and more reptiles and other exotics will find themselves legally unavailable for ownership.
Colin Weaver
P.S. – Where are the big shipping companies? Delta (via Delta Dash), FedEx and UPS all stand to lose a considerable amount of money if these bans are actually put into effect. They should want to lobby on behalf of the responsible reptile owning community and ensure the future of a large revenue stream.
Final note: It is not lost on me that USARK's position may be one of minimization. They may be taking a precautionary stance by seeking to amend the wording to minimize damage if the unthinkable should happen. But even if that is true it doesn't change the fact that there has been a shift in tone toward a willingness to let Burmese python ownership become a thing of the past.

How does a solar cell change light into electrical energy?
All solar power devices that I know about operate by getting the light to separate charges - basically to move an electron from where it would like to be. This is also the principle that chlorophyll in plants uses. If you can maintain that separated charge, you get energy just as in an electrical capacitor. The actual operation is usually a little more complicated (inducing an excess current in a semiconductor for instance) but that is the basic idea - the light energy goes into exciting an electron into a state away from where it best cancels the charge on the atom it was attached to.

Golden Lions vs The Sharks
June 21, 2013 in Uncategorized
The Golden Lions will look to maintain their unbeaten run against the Sharks at Ellis Park when they play a stronger than expected Sharks team in their practice match. Unlike the mediocre team WP sent last week the Sharks decided to make use of the opportunity to give some of their players who lacked game time due to form or injury a run. They also included a number of youngsters who will probably be part of their Currie Cup squad later this year.
The Lions last lost to the Sharks at Ellis Park in any competition in April 2010 and while this match is a practice match and, as such, the result is unimportant they will want to maintain their record against the Sharks while giving their players a good run both on attack and defence.
The Sharks put together a decent squad that includes a number of Springboks and experienced Super Rugby players but in the end it will be too much to ask a mix-and-match team to gel sufficiently on this outing to beat a settled Lions team.
The Golden Lions team sees a few changes from what can be regarded as their first choice team with Warren Whiteley and Jaco Kriel out with injuries and Ross Cronje getting a start but it is still a settled team. The Lions will look to improve on their defence, too often they have given away valuable territory when on defence due to ineffective first time tackles, and they need to ensure they stop the opposition behind the advantage line. On attack they will face a better defence from the Sharks than they have so far in previous matches and they need to play a more structured game to break it down.
The Sharks team is very much an experimental side and it will be interesting to see how Louis Ludik shapes at outside centre. We all know him as an exciting attacking fullback but can he bring that to the game playing in the midfield? They will also be testing their new Griquas lock, Edwin Hewitt.
Curtain raiser: A Lions B side will play the Griffons in a curtain raiser.

In last few months, suddenly numbers of news of racist attacks on Indian students in Australia have increased at alarming rate. Last week, these attacks become life threatening as one of Indian student Shravan Kumar, who suffered one such attack, is fighting for his life and is in coma. In last few months, there are reports of more than 60 such racist attacks on Indian students, though; Australian police is terming numbers of these attacks as attacks for looting money and not as racist attacks.
Also visit-Why racial attacks on Indian students in Australia?
However, large numbers of such attacks only targeted on Indian students are raising numbers of questions. Australian government has assured Indian students and Indian government that they are making strong efforts to stop such attacks in future. However, this situation has increased apprehensions among millions of Indian students studying in Australia about their safety. Presently, Australia offers a very attractive destination to millions of Indian students to get desired education plus option to settle in Australia.
In last few years, numbers of such students have increased many times. Due to rise in numbers of Indian students in Australia many native students of Australia feel threatened by this increase in numbers of Indian students. Therefore, we are seeing increase in numbers of attacks on Indian students. However, it is not good on the part of Australian people and government that they are not providing proper security to Indian students because Indian students are going to Australia after getting lured by large numbers of Australian Universities.
In future, we can hope that people of Australia will give proper respect to Indian students and stop all kind of racism against Indians in Australia.

my apartment has had numerous floods in the past in different areas of the apartment. We have noticed a couple different areas where we think there are mold growth and destroyed sheetrock. Our landlord sent the super and the super caulked new sheet rock on top of the sheet rock that we thought had mold on it, and threw out an old molding that had stuff growing on it, and replaced it with a new one. But the new one won't stick to the sheet rock because it's so deteriorated. We told the landlord that we didn't think the super was competent to deal with it, and that we are worried that there might be some kind of dangerous mold in the sheet rock. the landlord suggested that the super come by and do more work-- but we are afraid of the super messing around and disturbing it and putting our health in danger. after a lot of back and forth, the landlord sent a contractor he knows over to look at the apartment. the contractor said he saw no visible signs of mold growth. i feel very confused by this assessment. i attached a link to some photos of what we think is mold. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is really impossible to say what is mold-contaminated without seeing it or testing it. The super really did not do the right thing by covering the wall board with more wall board. If the contractor looked at the new wall board and saw no visible signs of mold growth, wooppee. He really can't say without seeing everything that was under water and that opportunity would have to be when the damaged sheet rock is torn out. The amount of mold that develops depends on how long material is at a particular level of moisture. Too much or too little and no mold grows. What really needs to be done when a home is flooded is that the wet drywall needs to be removed, the studs inspected and preferably sprayed with a fungicide if they are not damaged. Any other organic material should be inspected and removed or treated. I know it might be difficult, but you should consider moving. |

Caulked another chunk of sheetrock over the old moldy one? Wow! That is about as bad as it gets. Yes, you should either do what you have to do to get this fixed right, or move out. Living with mold has long term negative health consequences. I know a family that suffered all kinds of problems due to the mold in their home. |
When you suspect that there is mold contamination, it is safest to call in an expert to remove them for you. Mold can transmit through the air and cause various health risks, so it is better not to clear them yourself. |
WHat you show in the pictures is definitely black mold and should be dealt with appropriately and professionally. I would get in touch with someone from the Health Department so you have some ammo to go back to the landlord with. The proper way to fix it, is to have whatever drywall and such removed, the moisture problem fixed, and new drywall put up. If the landlord starts to get too pricky about it, you may have to have a day in court. |
"WHat you show in the pictures is definitely black mold..." Color alone does not determine the type of mold. |

Caution Urged in Response to Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) Outbreak
More than forty horses in the western U.S. have been diagnosed with Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) after attending the National Cutting Horse Association Western National Championships in Ogden, Utah between April 29th and May 8th. At this point, confirmed or suspected cases have been reported in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, plus Alberta, but veterinary health officials in other states are watching closely. Horses from at least 29 states and provinces attended the event in Ogden.
The National Cutting Horse Association reported that show producers have voluntarily cancelled upcoming sanctioned events in the interest of horse health. As of today, show cancellations have been announced in at least ten states and provinces. While precautions vary among the affected jurisdictions, horses in most states that have been in contact with an infected horse and show signs or test positive are being placed under quarantine to limit the spread. In addition, many facilities and individual owners are restricting movement and taking other precautions on their own to protect their horses.
There are no reported or suspected cases in Michigan at this time, so the risk of infection is low. However, if your horse or other horses at your barn attended the NCHA Western National Championships, you should monitor them very carefully for 21 days. Your veterinarian can test for EHV-1 and can give you anti-viral drugs if your horse is infected.
Owners with horses that have potentially been exposed are urged to take temperatures on each horse twice a day. Temperatures above 102F should be reported to your veterinarian immediately for evaluation and laboratory testing. The Equine Herpes virus is extremely contagious and can spread quickly among horse populations.
EHV-1 can not be transmitted to humans. Horse-to-horse contact, aerosol transmission, contaminated grooming equipment, hands, clothing, boots, tack and feed can all play a role in spreading the disease through horse populations. Infected horses with this neurologic strain of EHV-1, may show any of the following clinical signs: hind-end weakness, nasal discharge, decreased coordination, lethargy, recumbency (frequent or constant lying down), urine dribbling and diminished tail tone. There is no specific treatment and there is no equine vaccine for protection against this neurologic strain.
Most importantly, you should practice sound biosecurity measures to prevent infectious disease spread. Among others: hand washing in between handling horses, don't share equipment or feed/water buckets between horses; change your clothes and boots after handling sick horses; and disinfect areas and equipment exposed to sick equines including stalls, tack, and trailers.

On September 26, 2012, at approximately 2:35 p.m. Ocean City Police patrol officers stopped a 2002 Nissan Altima with three occupants for a traffic violation in the area of 62nd Street and Coastal Highway. During the course of the traffic stop, the officers observed two occupants of the vehicle shoving an unknown object under the front seats.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Larry Dennell Floyd, Jr., 30, of Berlin. During the traffic stop, officers checked the status of Floyd's driver's license and determined he was suspended. During further investigation, officers identified the front passenger of the vehicle as Marty Edward Tankard, Jr., 33 of Berlin and a rear seat passenger as Joel Lamont Lankford, 40, of Nanticoke, Maryland. In addition, officers determined the object being shoved under the seats was an empty beer bottle.
While officers were checking under the front seat of the vehicle, they observed a white powdery substance they suspected to be crack cocaine. Officers also recovered additional suspected crack cocaine from the front and rear passenger seats. Police subsequently arrested Floyd for driving on a suspended license and Tankard and Lankford for possession of crack cocaine.
During the arrest process, Floyd became uncooperative and would not open his mouth. Officer suspected Floyd was concealing illegal drugs in his mouth and at which point Floyd attempted to swallow the items. Officers attempted to get Floyd to spit the items out of his mouth, however, Floyd continued to refuse and resist arrest. Due to the level of resistance Floyd was exhibiting and the concern that he was attempting to swallow life-threatening drug contraband, officers deployed a TASER/ECD and delivered one drive-stun to Floyd's back to gain compliance.
Floyd immediately spit out the contents of his mouth, which was determined by officers to be a large quantity of suspected crack cocaine. As a precautionary measure, Floyd was taken by OC EMS to Atlantic General Hospital for exposure to ECD and possible CDS consumption. Floyd was evaluated and subsequently released from the hospital in Ocean City Police custody.
- Larry Dennell Floyd, Jr. was charged with:
- Driving on a suspended Maryland License.
- Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substance (crack cocaine).
- Possession of Paraphernalia.
- Possession of CDS with the Intent to Distribute (crack cocaine).
- Resisting Arrest.
- Obstructing and Hindering Arrest.
- Various Traffic Offences (Tickets).
- Marty Edward Tankard, Jr. was charged with:
- Possession of CDS (crack cocaine).
- Possession of an Open Container of Alcoholic Beverage in public.
- Joel Lamont Lankford was charged with:
- Possession of CDS (crack cocaine).
All three suspects were seen by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner, Lankford and Tankard were released on their own recognizance. Floyd was release after posting a $25,000 bond.

Warmer weather means less clothes, which in turn means more gym time. We've been amping up our workouts, or at least, um, thinking about it while online browsing for cute workout clothes. You'd be surprised by the amount of weird sports gear out there. Here, some of our hilarious findings.
So what sport, exactly, is this Jeremy Scott x Adidas dress supposed to outfit you for? Urban fashion wrestling? [Colette]

I have a potted squirrels' foot fern that is in desperate need of distribution. The roots are so massed that the pot is about to crack! :)
How do I distribute it successfully without killing it? Can I just take one of the rhizomes, severe it and place it into the ground? One more thing, at this point the leaves do not have spore cases. When will they appear? I'd like to try and sprout some spores. |
Follow-Up Postings:
my favorite thing to do with a Davallia in the condition you describe is get a 14 inch wire basket. Pop the plant out of the pot and cut all the offending feet. Pot the plant into the basket, and weave all of the extra feet into the wires of the wire basket. In a few months you'll have most of the feet rooted. The basket will be impressive looking and the feet can be pulled off if you need to grow another plant. Drew |

I have had success with a rabbit's foot fern (same?) starting off new plants by running the rhizomes into a pot with soil (kept moist) or a glass with water (kept fresh). It roots willingly and has spread from my home to my office, family, and friends. Once the roots develop just snip it off with a frond or two. not too many fronds though, it will be a small root system and needs time to grow before it supports a big bushy fern. Or you can put it in a bigger pot and keep the rhizomes out of the soil and hang them over the edge of the planter. That's how the one at home is. looks like it's trying to grow legs to walk away with. |
