Just placed an order for 8 crowns from Great Lakes Hops. I have read previous threads from folks here on HBT, and they seem pretty legit. I live just outside Minneapolis, MN. Any advice from a fellow MN hop grower would be great.
"Cheers! To your friends so near!"
I have cascades from them and had about 4oz dried from two plants in the first year. I am in sw MN.
Recieved my order a few days agao, got them potted last night (still waiting for snow to melt in MN). I ordered 7 crowns - 3-Columbus 3-Glacier & 1-Nugget. They threw in an extra "Lucky Dog" crown of the Crystal variety.
They look great! I ordered 3 through them and received 4, all in great condition and in the ground.
yeah, WAY bigger than I expected. What did they give you for your "Lucky Dog?"
Chinook, I ordered Magnum, Glacier and US Golding. I'll definitely order from them again when I decide to expand the garden.
Nice! Mine are about a foot tall right now, just got my main line rigging and verticals up yesterday.
Just had mine delivered hours ago, just planted them. I ordered a Centennial crown and they sent me a free Fuggles crown. Cool!
They are a stand up company to deal with. Good luck with your efforts! FEF

Tongan SBS presenter Meliame Fifita slams Chris Lilley's Jonah from Tonga as degrading to her people
- From: news.com.au
- May 07, 2014
A VOCAL member of Australia's Tongan community has slammed Chris Lilley's new mockumentary Jonah from Tonga as racist and degrading of her people.
The expletive-laden comedy, which debuts on ABC1 tonight, revives the character of Jonah Takalua, a misbehaving Tongan high school boy.
Meliame Fifita, who presents SBS's Tongan program, said she was worried about what people would think about Tongans after they watched the show.
"It's quite concerning that it's going to create a stereotype of Tongans as troublemakers, and the younger ones will think that's the way to behave," Mrs Fifita said.
"It's degrading for us Tongans."
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Comment below
Logie-winner Lilley is renowned for pushing the boundaries with his comedy, having previously inhabited the characters of bitchy schoolgirl Ja'mie King and African American rapper S.mouse.
When asked whether she thought the character of Jonah was racist, Mrs Fifita said: "I think it is in many ways … It's beyond a joke."
RELATED: Kids won't get the irony in Chris Lilley's new comedy show Jonah from Tonga
She objected especially to the way the program's characters spoke.
"Swearing in Tonga is very taboo; it's not OK to swear," she said.
Producers from the show visited Mrs Fifita twice last year to research the Tongan culture, but she feels they didn't listen to what she told them.
"I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't take what I said on board," she said.
ABC TV head of comedy Rick Kalowski said he didn't think the program could be fairly categorised as racist.
"Jonah from Tonga plays with stereotypes, but it's doing so to make an observation about the narrow-minded attitudes expressed by some of its characters, including Jonah's own," he said.
"Indeed, prejudice by and against Jonah is clearly shown to be at the root of the problems he faces in the series.
"It's also worth noting that while Jonah himself might be a heightened comic character, virtually every other Tongan or Islander character in the series is presented as a well-rounded, believable person without comic traits: Jonah's brother, sister, cousin, aunt and his social worker 'Kool Kris'."
Mrs Fifita said the show did not represent what Tongans were really like.
"Swearing, that's not allowed, disrespect for brothers and sisters and disrespect for fathers is not allowed. And that's the assumption, that how people we see us," she said.
She said friends of hers in their 40s were concerned about the way Tongans were portrayed, but some younger members of the community were excited about the program and had posted about it on their Facebook pages.
"It's seen to be positive with them," she said.
Mrs Fifita was keen to present a different view of Tongan people.
"We can be very friendly, we are great people to meet and to talk to — we're definitely not like Jonah," she said.
Mrs Fifita said her nephew and her first cousin's son would appear as actors in the show.
Jonah from Tonga screens tonight on ABC1 at 9pm.
Watch the official, uncensored trailer below and make up your own mind. Warning: It's full of swearing. Continue the conversation on Twitter @newscomauHQ.

Epson Adds Two High-Performance 1080P Projectors to Award-Winning Home Theater Lineup
Feature-Packed PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB Offer Home Theater Enthusiasts Unsurpassed Image Quality and Affordability
ATLANTA (CEDIA Expo 2009, Booth 3353) â Sept. 8, 2009 â Epson America today announced two 1080p front projectors, the PowerLite® Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB, expanding its award-winning line of 3LCD⢠home theater projectors. Featuring D7 technology for brilliant color and detail, and higher contrast, the Home Cinema 8100 reaches a 36,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and the Home Cinema 8500 UB achieves an unprecedented 200,000:1 . The Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB also offer the latest in real color reproduction capabilities for more natural and precise colors, delivering an outstanding viewing experience for home entertainment and AV enthusiasts.
With pricing of $1,599 (plus an additional $100 rebate at launch) and sub-$3,000, respectively, the Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB offer consumers affordable high-definition 3LCD home entertainment, delivering bright and natural color, crisp image detail and reliability. These 3LCD projectors use an advanced, three-chip optical engine for brilliant color and image quality without the possibility of color break-up, unlike DLP projectors that generate images using a spinning color wheel with a white segment.
âEpson is committed to leading the market when it comes to home theater performance and value,â? said Marge Ang, senior product manager, Epson America. âThese new models take advantage of Epsonâs latest technology to offer consumers the highest-performing1080p solutions available at their respective price points.â?
Epson Home Cinema 8100
The value-packed Home Cinema 8100 features an improved contrast ratio of up to 36,000:1 (double that of previous models) and higher brightness â 1,800 lumens color and white light output – for outstanding image quality in dark or lighted rooms. The projectorâs exclusive Dynamic Iris system contributes to the dramatic contrast improvement, allowing light to be controlled on a frame-by-frame basis at up to 60 times per second, making it ideal for fast-action movies with frequent scene changes. Designed for home entertainment and AV enthusiasts on a budget, this projector offers high-quality home entertainment for enjoying movies, video games, sports, and more.
Epson Home Cinema 8500 UB
Along with the latest D7 chip set, this high-quality projector adds Epsonâs C2Fine® and UltraBlack⢠technology for superb black levels and vivid images. Further boosting black levels, the Home Cinema 8500 UB includes brightness of 1,600 lumens color and light output and new dual-layered auto iris technology, allowing for an impressive contrast ratio of up to 200,000:1. As a result, the projector controls light intensity more effectively, causing dark images to appear even darker and blacks to appear even richer and deeper.
The projector also features Epsonâs new Super-resolution⢠technology to create a sharper, more detailed picture resolution ideal for broadcast signal noise reduction or enhancing the quality of poor DVD transfers. Super-resolution technology improves the resolution of a blurred image, allowing consumers to fully enjoy high-definition quality at all times. Epson has also added new real color reproduction capabilities, which delivers more natural and precise colors, allowing viewers to experience the true-to-life colors filmmakers intended.
To ensure sharp, clear images, the projector features Epsonâs 12-bit 3LCD driver technology and a built-in Silicon Optix HQV Reon-VX scaling and de-interlacing video processor. This processor reduces mosquito and block noise and augments multi-level contrast enhancement to further improve picture quality. The Home Cinema 8500 UB also features enhanced FineFrame⢠technology resulting in smoother frame interpolation, sharper video quality and the elimination of judder.
Shared Features of the Home Cinema Line â The Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB share features designed to improve image quality and total cost of 3LCD projector ownership, including:
â¢Cinema Filter: Delivers larger color space for improved color fidelity.
â¢Fujinon OptiCinema⢠Multi-Lens Optics System: Projects clean, precise edges with consistent image quality across the entire screen, expanding installation flexibility.
â¢Pre-set Color Modes: Features seven color modes (Dynamic, Living Room, Natural, Theatre, Theatre Black 1, Theatre Black 2, x.v.Color) for optimal viewing in any environment.
â¢E-TORL® (Epson Twin Optics Reflection Lamp): Provides optimum light uniformity and increased light output for screen sizes larger than ten feet with exclusive 200 watt high efficiency design; uses less energy for up to 4,000 hours of lamp life .
â¢Advanced Dust Filtration System: Ensures efficient power use, reduced cool-down periods, lower fan speeds, quieter operation (only 22 db), and 98 percent efficiency for longer filter life.
â¢Input Options: Features two HDMI 1.3a inputs with Deep Color support, high definition component video input, S-video input, composite video input, and VGA-type RGB input (D-sub 15).
Availability and Support
The Epson Home Cinema 8100 will be available in late-October and the Home Cinema 8500 UB will be available in November through authorized Epson projector dealers and select retail outlets, and come with Epsonâs industry leading service and support. Pricing for the Home Cinema 8500 UB will be released at that time. This includes a two-year limited warranty with access to Epson PrivateLine® priority toll-free support, 90-day limited lamp warranty, and free two-business day exchange with Extra CareSM Home Service.

Windows 8: What A Build!
While there are some things to like about Microsoft Windows 8, such as vastly improved finger navigation (thanks to Metro) over Windows 7 when running on a tablet, there are also lots of things that IT administrators will absolutely hate. Chief among them is that same Metro, which makes the user experience cumbersome and unintuitive.
Released as a developer preview at Microsoft's Build conference last week, the next version of Windows is different in many ways than its predecessor, and not all of them good. Here are 12 things that we believe IT will hate -- or at least strongly dislike -- about Windows 8 if it were released today in its current form, including some things that have not changed at all but should have.

The only problem with this is the assumption that Obama is actually interested in bipartisanship. He wasn't interested in it when he didn't need it, and rammed his policies down the country's throat even when there were huge flashing warning signs (like a Republican winning election to the Senate in Massachusetts). His only negotiation was with the more conservative members of his own party, never with the GOP. Good to see some of the worshipfulness hasn't abandoned the Economist...
Apologies to MicrosoftWabbit if I am wrong - but I didn't think he was being serious about taking offense to the use of a viking.
"sigh" indeed!
This take on the election results quite accurately, in my opinion at least, embodies the speed and abruptness of the shift of power occurring from the Democrats to the Republicans. As for the take on its association with Vikings, as said by MicrosoftWabbit, it is important to note that in general Vikings were ruthless individuals and pillagers. It is not to say that their culture was of lesser value than any other, evident through their contribution to more efficient boat building techniques and other achievements, but this representation of the Vikings should be viewed in a humorous manner.
I thought Obama could walk on water? He doesn't need a boat....
sigh. It was a cartoon, meant to protray a barbarian, not any particular ethnic version. I thought it was hilarious.
As a descendant of the Vikings, I must object to the association of a Viking with Republicans. Looking at the values and attitudes of the Viking home countries Republicans are totally alien -- especially since being a Dane, we have been very happy with the same royal family from Gorm the Old and there is no talk of abolishing the monarchy.
Surely Kal is capable from finding a more appropriate character --
This is a time when Bi-Partisanship is most needed to solve the many problems that plague the US economy. What we got from the elections is the fringe from both sides dominating centre stage.
The Tea Partiers live in GaGaland. The Democrats live in DooDooLand.
Too bad for America! Too bad for the West!
viewed against the election results of two years ago, this is simply a role reversal.

Evan Ma, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, has been selected as an MRS Fellow by the Materials Research Society.
MoreSarah Hewes ('15) selected as Summer 2014 PURA recipient
Sarah Hewes, a junior Materials Science and Engineering major, was recently selected as recipient of a Provost's Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) for Summer 2014.
"I feel honored to have received the PURA. It's encouraging that many people, in addition to my family and friends, have so much faith in me," Sarah said.
The goal of her project, which is titled "3D printing of functional hydrogel-encapsulated microvessels," is to fabricate blood vessels as a platform for in vitro research, offering a step toward creating blood vessels that could be used in tissues to create artificial organs that can be transplanted into humans.
"An unlimited supply of artificial organs, created with a patient's own cells so there's no risk of rejection; that's the ultimate goal."
Dr. Peter Searson serves as a faculty sponsor of her research. Sarah has worked in Dr. Searson's lab since early fall of her freshman year.

Oh no, here we go again with the Washington backfield. Coach Mike Shanahan says Morris is the starter after a huge Week 1 workload that included 28 carries. He has said things like this before, then done the exact opposite on game day. If indeed Morris is going to get a majority of carries in DC, he's a huge asset.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 | Runway
Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2013
Marc Jacobs's Spring 2013 mainline collection may have been all about restrained sensuality, but his secondary line was clearly all about fun. As in the thing that girls just wanna have. It came spelled with a capitol F, and it touched everything from the pastel striped runway to the 1982 electropop playing on the speakers to the Cyndi Lauper scarfs wrapped atop the models' heads.
As for the clothes, well, they were pretty jazzy too. Lots of wacky geometric prints, riotous hues, and plenty of washed-out denim and stripes. On boxy tops, shoulder-padded blazers, flouncy skirts, and peg-leg pants — which came tight-rolled at the ankle, remember that? — it made for a pretty energetic offering. Pile it on, and turn it up, the designer seemed to be saying. And really, why not? There's nothing much more fun than that.

Execution, Not Outside Competitors, Is Oracle's Biggest Challenge
Asked about the biggest competitive threats to Oracle, co-presidents Mark Hurd and Safra Catz said executing the company's strategy is the major focus right now.
Noting that Oracle has 124,000 employees, including a rapidly growing sales force, Hurd said keeping those employees moving in the same direction is key. "We have to keep them led," he said. "Our biggest issue is really making sure we're in the field with clear, simple messages that we can give the customers as we go execute. That is job one. That is our job."
"Our competitive threats are ourselves. It's all about execution," Catz said.

paidContent.org - Us Weekly Runs Ads On Its Facebook Page?Without Facebook's Help
Thursday, April 23, 2009; 8:06 PM
Us Weekly's newly redesigned Facebook page comes complete with a Tweet stream, red carpet video clips, breaking news updates, and a big "sponsored by State Farm" logo. The gossip mag sold sponsorship of the page to State Farm as part of an existing ad campaign, but AdAge reports that Us Weekly plans to offer the inventory as a standalone buy in the future. It's just the latest example of a third-party using the Facebook platform (and its rabid user base) to make money?without splitting any of that revenue with the network itself.
Facebook is already missing out on millions of dollars in virtual goods and ad sponsorship revenues. When members play games like Mafia Wars and Sorority Life and buy credits or sign up for sponsor offers (typically credit card applications and subscriptions to services like Netflix), that money goes right to the app developer.
Some developers argue that their games increase Facebook's stickiness, which becomes a value-add because the network can serve more ads to users over a longer period of time. But Facebook is still struggling to convince advertisers that its ads are worth buying; if more companies start selling ad space on their own pages, there's a greater risk of ad clutter, conflicting messaging and devaluation of the network as an ad channel overall. And if that happens, then Facebook may be forced to start pushing ad-sellers (and developers) for revenue-sharing deals.

As part of my exploration of existing religions, communities and sacred spaces, I visited a Friends' Meeting last Sunday at a Quaker church. Several colleagues have suggested I go, and even noted I should go to multiple meetings – their structure is pretty free form, and there's lot of variety. So what you see on one day may not be representative.
The basic format is this: People gather in the meeting hall, sitting in circle or arc. You come in silently, sit silently.
If you are moved to speak, you speak – usually for a couple minutes – before sitting down in silence again.
That's it.
The particular meeting I went to, there was silence for the first 50 minutes, ending with one woman standing to speak about her brother, who had been abusing drugs, and the struggle they both had with it. A little afterwards, a few other people stood to announce events being run by the community.
I gather that different congregations – and different meeting times within congregations – vary in how much time is typically spent talking. In this congregation, the early morning Sunday meeting is usually entirely silent. The second service (the one I went to) starts at 11:00, and is typically mostly silence, but usually has more than 1 speaker.
There's a different-version-of-me, from a different time in my life, that would have been profoundly bored by the experience. "I'm traveling all this way to sit in silence for an hour? I could do that at home. Also, why?" And there's a different-different-version-of-me that would have found it exactly what I needed – constantly surrounded by the hustle-bustle of New York City, desperately needing a moment of tranquility in a communal setting.
Last Sunday, I found myself appreciating it for what it was, though not something I felt moved to go back to immediately.
Something I noted was that I wasn't sure exactly what to *do* during the silence. Silence is not inherently boring – it could be a time to silently reflect on something important, or think about your possible choices for the future, or just clear your mind to experience peace and clarity. The lack of direction could be a bug or a feature. If you're already experienced with multiple forms of meditation or reflection, having the freedom to make of it what you will could be valuable.
I haven't quite gotten the hang of any form of meditation though, and I'd have preferred a bit more direction. (I could imagine a Quaker who's been going a while telling me that I'm missing the point).

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Jason Giambi wasn't as concerned with hitting his first home run of the season as he was with getting his batting stroke back in order.
Oakland's veteran slugger accomplished both against Tampa Bay, hitting a solo homer and scoring twice in the Athletics' 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday."I just was more worried about taking good at-bats," said Giambi, after the A's ended their five-game losing streak. "We went on that road trip ... and I just got beat up a little bit. Then you start pressing and you start trying to swing harder to make up for it. Hopefully I can keep working and relax up there now."It was the 396th career home run for Giambi, who signed a $5.25 million, one-year contract to return to Oakland after spending the past seven seasons with the New York Yankees.It was also just the seventh homer hit this season by Oakland, the fewest in the majors.But with Travis Buck also hitting a home run and Nomar Garciaparra adding a three-run double, the A's believe their offense is ready to break out of its early season slump."I've said it all spring, it's nothing new to us that this thing is going to happen," winning pitcher Dallas Braden said. "[Giambi] feels energized by it and I think we all kind of got an uplifting spirit just watching him do what he does as he's creeping ever closer to that milestone."Braden (2-2) allowed one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings for Oakland, which had dropped nine of 12 before beating Tampa Bay for its first win in a day game this season.The A's lefty, who is the only Oakland starting pitcher to win a game this season, left after walking Pat Burrell to load the bases in the sixth. Braden told manager Bob Geren he tweaked his groin an inning earlier but downplayed the injury afterward."It was just more of a precautionary thing," Braden said. "No reason to try and battle. Heroes are made in September and October, not April."Brad Ziegler pitched 1 1/3 shutout innings for his fourth save in five opportunities.Matt Garza (1-2) gave up four runs in the loss. He struck out six in 5 2/3 innings but walked four, three of which scored."That one inning I tried to make the perfect pitch too many times and it cost me," Garza said. "I was kind of being stubborn, saying to myself that my two-seam was better than my four. I gave up one hit that inning and it cost me three runs and it cost us the game."The homers by Giambi and Buck were shots in the arm for an Oakland team that went into the game last in the majors in numerous offensive categories, including scoring, home runs, hits, RBIs and batting average.Garciaparra, another offseason acquisition, made his first start defensively since injuring his right calf against Boston on April 14. He hit a three-run double in the fourth after Garza walked the bases loaded, then later singled to raise his batting average from .188 to .222.The Rays scored their runs on Akinori Iwamura's RBI single in the fifth and Burrell's run-scoring single in the eighth.Game notes
A's RHP Justin Duchscherer, the projected Opening Day starter, remains on schedule while recovering from elbow surgery. ... Tampa Bay RHP Jason Isringhausen threw a scoreless inning in his third rehab outing Friday, an encouraging sign for the one-time closer. "[Isringhausen] felt good; his arm strength is building up and he's starting to feel better about repeating his delivery," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He's getting stronger and making progress." Maddon said Isringhausen will make at least two more minor league appearances before the team decides what to do. ... Pena and 2B Akinori Iwamura will get a scheduled day off Sunday.

Source: Microsoft Support RAPID PUBLISHINGRAPID PUBLISHING ARTICLES PROVIDE INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM WITHIN THE MICROSOFT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO EMERGING OR UNIQUE TOPICS, OR IS INTENDED SUPPLEMENT OTHER KNOWLEDGE BASE INFORMATION. ActionYou have developed a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Forms application which contains a ToolTip control and a Treeview control. The application calls the ToolTip control's SetToolTip method multiple times, for example, in the MouseMove event of the TreeView Control; and passes the Treeview control as the first parameter to the SetToolTip method.
ResultWhen hovering the mouse over a Node in the TreeView control, the ToolTip may not display all the text specified in the SetToolTip method. When exiting the application, you may also receive the following error: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory.

FatalExecutionEngineError was detected The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at <address>, on thread <thread>. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack. CauseThe TreeView control's ShowNodeToolTips property is set to True to enable built-in tooltips for the nodes in the TreeView control. This conflicts with the tooltip being created by the ToolTip control's SetToolTip method.
ResolutionYou can use one of the following solutions to work around this problem. 1. Set the TreeView control's ShowNodeToolTips property to False. This is the easiest solution if the intent is to use the ToolTip control for displaying ToolTips instead of the TreeView control's built-in Node ToolTips (the ToolTip control has some additional features not exposed by the TreeView control's ToolTip implementation). 2. Alternatively, you can remove the call to the ToolTip control's SetToolTip method, and use the TreeView control's built-in ToolTips. To do this, you must make sure that the TreeView control's ShowNodeToolTips property is set to True, and that you have set each TreeNode's ToolTipText property to the desired value. More InformationSTEPS TO REPRODUCE ==================== 1. Using Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008, create a new C# Windows Forms application. 2. Add a TreeView control to the form named "treeView1". 3. Set the TreeView control's ShowNodeToolTips property to True. 4. Add a ToolTip control to the form named "toolTip1". 5. Add the following code to the form's Load event handler: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { TreeNode newNode = new TreeNode(); newNode.Text = "test node " + i.ToString(); newNode.Tag = i.ToString(); treeView1.Nodes.Add(newNode); } } 6. Add the following code to the MouseMove event handler of the TreeView control: private void treeView1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { TreeView tv = sender as TreeView; if (tv != null) { TreeNode tn = tv.GetNodeAt(new Point(e.X, e.Y)); if (tn != null) { this.toolTip1.SetToolTip(tv, tn.Text); } } } 7. Build the application and run it. 8. Hover the mouse over several nodes in the TreeView control. 9. Close the form to exit the application. You should receive one of the errors listed in the Result section above. When running the application under a native code debugger, you may also see an Access Violation occurring in the following call stack. mscorlib_ni!System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.PtrToStructure(IntPtr, System.Type)+0x5d System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.PtrToStructure(IntPtr, System.Type)+0x25 System_Windows_Forms_ni!System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.WmNeedText(System.Windows.Forms.Message ByRef)+0x35 System_Windows_Forms_ni!System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.WndProc(System.Windows.Forms.Message ByRef)+0x36e281 System_Windows_Forms_ni!System.Windows.Forms.Control+ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(System.Windows.Forms.Message ByRef)+0xd System_Windows_Forms_ni!System.Windows.Forms.Control+ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(System.Windows.Forms.Message ByRef)+0x36 System_Windows_Forms_ni!System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr, IntPtr)+0x5a user32!InternalCallWinProc+0x23 user32!UserCallWinProcCheckWow+0x14b user32!CallWindowProcAorW+0x97 user32!CallWindowProcW+0x1b comctl32!CallOriginalWndProc+0x1a comctl32!CallNextSubclassProc+0x3c comctl32!DefSubclassProc+0x46 comctl32!TTSubclassProc+0x59 comctl32!CallNextSubclassProc+0x3c DISCLAIMERMICROSOFT AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE SUITABILITY, RELIABILITY OR ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS AND RELATED GRAPHICS PUBLISHED ON THIS WEBSITE (THE "MATERIALS") FOR ANY PURPOSE.

I don't think so. There's other dialogue in the episode that suggests things look bleak for the Federation. Tasha tells Castllo that Starfleet has lost more than half of its vessels to the Klingons. Now, that doesn't mean that defeat is inevitable, but it's certainly not a sign that the Federation is on the verge of winning the war.
Also, consider that as a captain, Picard likely had access to information that the majority of officers wouldn't. Everything about his demeanor during that scene suggests he's speaking with Garrett captain to captain, hoping to appeal to her desire to serve the greater good, even if doing so means sacrificing her ship and her crew.

Study Shows More Hispanic Shoppers Use Mobile Devices As A Shopping Tool Than General Market Shoppers
May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. smartphone penetration is approximately 57 percent so it's no surprise that consumers are using their phones to assist with shopping needs. What's interesting is 16 percent of Hispanic shoppers are using their mobile device to make purchases compared to 12 percent of general market shoppers. This was revealed in the latest issue of
The Checkout , an ongoing shopper behavior study conducted by
The Integer Group
® and M/A/R/C Research.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130523/LA19576-INFO)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120209/LA50934LOGO)
"Since mobile and online tools are important to Hispanics, there is opportunity to leverage technology to better engage this audience. It's not just about replicating general market strategies and making them bilingual, it's taking those key elements that Hispanic shoppers seek and incorporating them into the shopper experience," said Martin Ferro, senior account planner for Velocidad, a Hispanic promotional, retail and shopper marketing capability of The Integer Group.
Use of private label has grown significantly in recent years as shoppers start to perceive them as quality alternatives to name brand products. Only 28 percent of Hispanic shoppers (compared to 22 percent of general market shoppers) say they immediately go for name brand items while 68 percent (compared to 60 percent of general market shoppers) find their usual brand but then consider a store brand as an alternative. The study also shows that private label is making it into Hispanics' consideration sets, with 78 percent of all Hispanic shoppers regularly comparing prices between name brands and store brands. Although this is the case, there are some product categories where Hispanics remain very brand loyal, this includes laundry detergent, health and beauty products, and breakfast cereals. Additional findings on Hispanic shoppers from The Checkout:- Hispanics place greater emphasis on their personal networks, with 40 percent saying recommendations from their friends and family influence their shopping list compared to 29 percent of the general market.
- Hispanic shoppers are more experiential, with 25 percent of Hispanics saying that having an enjoyable shopping experience was most important to them compared to 18 percent of general market shoppers.
- When considering value, 53 percent of Hispanic shoppers say finding the highest quality items is the most important factor compared to 40 percent of the general market. Price is also an important factor, with 45 percent of Hispanics saying this is most important to them compared to 43 percent of general market shoppers.

Obama hails Foley, vows to be 'vigilant' and 'relentless' in pursuing terrorists
President Barack Obama on Wednesday decried the slaying of U.S journalist James Foley by the Islamic State, saying the entire world was "appalled" as he vowed to protect Americans by whatever means necessary.
Obama spoke as Pentagon officials said that U.S. aircraft conducted a dozen strikes in Iraq against Islamic State targets, after the extremist group posted a video of Foley's beheading, and warned that a second American journalist, who it identified as Steven Joel Sotloff, would be killed if the strikes continued. There was no immediate word as to whether or not the group had made good on its threat.
Speaking from vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Obama said he had spoken to Foley's family, telling them "we are all heartbroken at their loss."
"Jim was taken from us in an act of violence that shocked the conscience of the entire world," Obama said.
His remarks came soon after U.S. intelligence officials said they had confirmed the authenticity of a video showing the beheading of Foley, 40, a freelance photojournalist from Rochester, N.H.
Foley's life, Obama said, "stands in stark contrast to his killers," whom he said have "rampaged across cities and villages, killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence."
In the video, the Islamic State threatened to execute a second U.S. captive if Obama doesn't halt U.S. strikes on its fighters, but Obama pledged to combat the group.
"We will be vigilant and we will be relentless," he said. "When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done."
He called on Iraq and its neighbors to continue fighting ISIL, saying Iraqis "must continue coming together to expel these terrorists from their communities.
"From governments and peoples across the Middle East, there has to be a common effort to extract this cancer so that it does not spread," he said. "There has to be a clear rejection of these kind of nihilistic ideologies.
"One thing we can all agree on is that a group like ISIL has no place in the 21st century," Obama said.
He did not mention the second U.S. captive, believed to be Sotloff, a freelance journalist from Miami, Fla., but said the U.S. will "keep in our prayers those other Americans who are separated from their families.
"We will do everything that we can to protect our people and the timeless values that we stand for," Obama said.

Liberal economist Mao Yushi warns of a 'leftist revival' in China
Prominent liberal Mao Yushi says he has been the target of increasing attacks by people angry over his criticism of patriarch Mao Zedong
In recent weeks prominent liberal economist Mao Yushi has experienced first-hand the leftist revival taking shape on the mainland.
First, Mao, 84, was bombarded last month by insults and even death threats by anonymous callers angered by his criticism of the party's patriarch, Mao Zedong.
Then, he was singled out by a conservative newspaper affiliated to the Communist Party mouthpiece as a potentially divisive force for his critical views of the regime. He was also forced to tone down a speech in Changsha, Hunan - Mao Zedong's hometown - after being derided by a group of leftists as a traitor.
On April 25, during another speech at a symposium in Shenyang, Liaoning, the economist was disrupted by a leftist historian who was removed by security.
But what shocked Mao Yushi most of all was a May 6 editorial in the party-run Global Times that criticised his challenges to mainstream political thought but made no mention of the leftist attacks on him.
"It's common knowledge that Global Times is a government-run newspaper that is usually very measured in what it says or does not say," said Mao Yushi, who is not related to the former party leader. "But why did it decide to pick on an academic who believes in sensible dialogue rather than the militaristic attitudes of Maoist leftists?"
The editorial made him question the commitment to reform under Xi Jinping , who took control of the party in November.
"Can we conclude that the new leaders also agree with those who oppose reform and opening up?" said Mao Yushi, whose support for free-market economics was recognised last year by the Cato Institute, a United States think-tank.
Indeed, the campaign against Mao Yushi is part of broad effort by leftists to revive Maoism, a movement which has fallen out of favour over three decades of economic reform by the Communist Party. The campaign has gained momentum as the new leadership seeks to tighten ideological control and crack down on dissent.
Mao Yushi said that the leftist revival underscored just how little the mainland public really knew about Mao Zedong's record and his tumultuous Cultural Revolution, in which millions were persecuted as neighbour turned on neighbour in a drive to root out capitalism and impose his doctrines.
In January - before he was officially installed as president - Xi gave an address speaking out against attempts to discredit Mao Zedong, warning that doing so could topple the political regime and plunge the country into chaos.
The new party leader also urged people not to use China's achievements of the past 30 years as a way to call into question the record of the three decades when Mao reigned.
More recently, the party issued a decree banning discussions of seven taboo subjects at schools, including freedom of speech, judicial independence, civil society and past errors of the party.
Last week, writer and blogger Hao Qun - better known as Murong Xuecun - had his microblog accounts shut down, as did other prominent liberals such as China University of Political Science and Law professor He Bing and rights lawyer Si Weijiang .
The leftists, meanwhile have grown more vocal, with several groups hoping to push the new leadership into authorising a grand show to commemorate Mao's 120th birthday in December.
"If they can get their own way, it will be a major victory for them because it amounts to an assurance of what the political landscape would be in China," said Chen Ziming , a Beijing-based political commentator.
Li Yuhui , another mainland political commentator, said concerns about the government retreating to the left were legitimate. He noted that Xi's comments on Mao Zedong were particularly shocking, given that his two immediate predecessors, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao , avoided saying anything about the late party leader.
"I believe a majority of the public has been surprised by his overt endorsement of Maoism because it's a show of disregard towards a greater number of people caught in the middle," he said.
Qiao Mu , a communications professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said the recent leftist revival had much to do with a sense of anxiety among leaders over a theoretical void in ideological control.
Incidents of social unrest have been on the rise as a yawning wealth gap has developed. Xi might be playing to the perceived social equality of the Mao years to placate bitterness among those who feel they have missed out on the benefits of the economic boom.
Qu said the social changes since China opened its doors in the late 1970s have made a return of the Cultural Revolution less likely. But the era's legacy of ideological control remains.
"The Cultural Revolution-style control can come back to haunt the nation, particularly in certain sectors such as the media and school system as we see right now," he said.

Or rather, a radical ultra-rightwing United States thinktank adored by the Republican party, which campaigns against *any* state regulation of the economy, involvement in healthcare or welfare provision, etc, but in favour of corporate monopolisation of the same. If Mao Yushi's views are anything like Cato's, he deserves everything the 'leftists' throw at him!

My planned Healthy gardening
For the Treatment of Diabetes are:
Grow Bitter Melon, Garlic, Onion, Burdock, Swiss Chard, Yacon, Jicama
To lower Blood Pressure:
Grow Celery, carrots, tomatoes, snow peas, Broccoli, cauliflower, mustard greens, Chinese cabbage
To lower Cholesterol:
Grow Garlic, Eggplants, Spinach, Yard long beans
Cancer fighting food:
Grow ginger, Garlic, Onion, Leeks, Tomatoes, Turmeric, Spinach
These vegetables are easily to grow. What is your thoughts?
I find it frustrating when people categorize specific plants for specific illnesses. My main problem is it misinforms the people. Some people with high blood pressure who read "celery helps high blood pressure" actually eat exclusively celery hoping it'll cure it. The secret is there is no specific disease or no specific cure. Live healthy, be healthy. Eat junk food, get junk.

5. Symantec Cans Salem
While much of the IT security industry was focused on the Black Hat event in Las Vegas, Symantec ousted CEO Enrique Salem (pictured), a long-time veteran of the company who had served as its chief executive for three years. But with earnings down nearly 10 percent, the board opted in favor of its chairman, Steve Bennett, who assumed both roles.
