text: I am looking into the possibility of a backcountry hunt withing the next few years (hopefully, after wedding, kids, etc. slow down!) and was wondering any thoughts on Eureka tents/bags/packs. I have an opportunity to get their products for a good price and was thinking of stocking up. Any suggestions appreciated.

It is 7pm, and snow softly falls from the long-darkened Alaskan sky, dancing through the porch light to land on the deck where I am hard at work evicting it. Down a flight of stairs, Lee ducks and weaves through snow-capped cars, waging epic snow wars against
his littlest nephew and the two of them giggle in harmony.
"One of you guys, come over here, quick!" I tease, pointing to a prime spot under the deck where I am shoveling. Only little Andrew complies and his naivete is quickly rewarded with a shovel full of snow from above.
"She GOT ME!" he squeals and takes off running, too surprised to even mount a counter offense.
Oh yes, it is winter. And, we are home at last, after a year of adventures in the wilds of the big city and never so glad to see a foot of unplowed snow on a dirt driveway and a 100ft downed spruce tree blocking the hiking trail. There is something so raw and
perfect about an Alaskan winter- difficult for sure but also strangely simple. Chop wood or go cold. Wear warm socks or kiss your pretty toes goodbye. Casseroles and hot chocolate, a huge filet of salmon straight out of the oven, beautiful fluffy snow turning
to torrential rain in a heartbeat and winds that rattle windows and tear hundred year old trees straight out of the ground. I am happy because as long as it keeps raining (or snowing), I can take as many showers as I want. Our water comes from the sky, our
heat comes from the trees, and our food comes from the ocean. How can it get better than this?
Not everyone can survive an Alaskan winter, but everyone can enjoy our food. Pretty much everyone here has their preferred method of cooking salmon, but this is my personal favorite. Start with a nice slab (about 8 oz per person is a good bet) of wild Alaskan
salmon- king, coho, or sockeye. The topping is estimated- scale up for more fish. I usually cook for two.
1/2 cup plain unsweetened greek yogurt
1 tsp basil pesto (OR, 1 tsp each dried basil and oregano- you can totally eyeball this)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Whisk ingredients and smear on top of fillets. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 350, or you could grill them. Use a cedar plank if you have one.
You could also try dredging the fish in flour and pan frying it. This is Lee's grandfather's preferred method of salmon cooking and is probably more traditional than yogurt and pesto. However, it's not very healthy and the flour makes it a no-go for me anyway.
If you're gluten free and want to try this, white rice flour would probably be the way to go.

You've never seen comfort food like this. (There's one that's layered with creamed spinach!)
Beyond Chips: Cooking with Salsa
Peppery arugula and toasted pine nuts add grown-up flavors to a kid-friendly pasta dish. The bowties (farfalle) are always popular with kids, but you could use other short pasta shapes in this recipe, such as fusilli, orecchiette, or penne.
Recipe: Creamy Pasta with Peas
This corkscrew pasta turns sophisticated with a creamy no-cook sauce. It's a dream to make: Just whisk together goat cheese, pasta water, and butter, and toss with cavatappi and asparagus.

A 17-million-year-old beaked whale fossil is helping researchers solve a puzzle about the likely birthplace of humanity in East Africa.
Some 80,000 years before our species arrived in Europe, Neanderthals there were making eye-catching jewelry.
The very first human dates to at least 2.3 million years ago, a new study concludes, suggesting that the origins of our genus could go back 3 million years ago.
Newly unearthed remains push back the origin of our genus by an incredible 400,000 years.
A single gene may have paved the way for the rise of human intelligence by dramatically increasing the number of brain cells found in a key brain region.
The remains of an ancient Israeli female strongly suggests that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens first met and mated in Israel.
The human history plot thickens with the discovery of a new archaic human from Taiwan that might have coexisted and interbred with our species.
Flatulence, diarrhea, rashes and other health issues have been with some humans and their ancestors for up to a million or more years.

Scotland's Best Kept Secret....
Hard to believe that it is two years since the last album release from Scotland's best kept secret, Trashcan Sinatras. Quite why Trashcan Sinatras are not a household name is simply beyond comprehension. Their albums should be available in every store, their songs played on every radio station, their back catalogue discovered and rediscovered by music fans of all ages. Maybe one day....
Beautifully crafted pieces of pure pop magic is a description I like when it comes to the music of Irvine's finest. They do take a while between albums, but when they do emerge with another collection it's always worth the wait. Perfect music for a Sunday afternoon sitting outside on the patio.
There's not much more that I can add to the acclaim already heaped upon this band. It's such a pity that more people are not aware of the strength of the songwriting and gorgeous melodies that they have been releasing for over 20 years now.
In The Music was, for me, easily the best album of 2009. It's a beautiful, melancholy treasure of an album with genuine heart and gorgeous melodies throughout that is the perfect album for a warm summer's day and as there appears to be some sun in the sky in the West Of Scotland today this seems to be the perfect day for a perfect album....

Marie writes: Not too long ago, Monaco's Oceanographic Museum held an exhibition combining contemporary art and science, in the shape of a huge installation by renowned Franco-Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping, in addition to a selection of films, interviews and a ballet of Aurelia jellyfish.The sculpture was inspired by the sea, and reflects upon maritime catastrophes caused by Man. Huang Yong Ping chose the name "Wu Zei"because it represents far more than just a giant octopus. By naming his installation "Wu Zei," Huang added ambiguity to the work. 'Wu Zei' is Chinese for cuttlefish, but the ideogram 'Wu' is also the color black - while 'Zei' conveys the idea of spoiling, corrupting or betraying. Huang Yong Ping was playing with the double meaning of marine ink and black tide, and also on corruption and renewal. By drawing attention to the dangers facing the Mediterranean, the exhibition aimed to amaze the public, while raising their awareness and encouraging them to take action to protect the sea.
Marie writes: Kudos to fellow art buddy Siri Arnet for sharing the following; a truly unique hotel just outside Nairobi, Kenya: welcome to Giraffe Manor.

My first- Silver Urn
I received a Silver Urn plant as a gift this weekend. Its huge, with two pups the size of the mother, and all three are in bloom. In an attempt to help, my significant other replanted it into a pot using African Violet Mix (I'm guessing its bc that was the first bag of potting mix he could find in the garage).
So now I need to know what type of mix it SHOULD be in, since I'm assuming I'll need to change that. Also, I'd like to separate the pups. Is there anything special I need to do, or just pull them apart? Right now the plant is in an area of the living room that gets filtered sunlight in the afternoon, and I have the cups filled in each.
Ive been lurking on this forum for a few weeks now, so I'm very excited to have my first brom. Any tips or advice is much appreciated.
This post was edited by Jess5515 on Mon, Feb 4, 13 at 10:29
You can leave it alone at this point and enjoy the blooms Any kind of fast draining soil is good. Moist to dry is good, wet is bad . They should be divided when they are growing, before they bloom. Enjoy the beautiful blooms, Then when it is done it should start to produce pups which you can remove when they are 1/3 the size of the mother plants. If you are in a warm area stick them out under a tree once thy start looking a little ratty and take the pups. Enjoy
I'd say Aechmea fasciata. Silver Vase/Silver Urn.
Hi everyone
jwnesmith - As tsugajunkie says, Silver Urn is the name given to Aechmea fasciata which is one of the first bromeliad plants to be introduced into America and Europe after the Ananas (Pineapple).
There is a picture of it at the top right corner of the home page.
All the best, Nev.
African violet mix should be fine. I hope it's not in a huge pot, though. Advice about sogginess is true. Even so, these plants are tough. I don't bother removing the pups, myself. I am happy with massive clumps and eventually pulling or cutting off brown leaves from the old plants. They hang on for a very long time. Three blooming bracts at once sounds spectacular! Wonderful!

As 1900 approaches, my great-grandfather is faced with the challenge that will face American Jewry in the 21st century: how to maintain a Jewish identity in an open world, how to preserve a Judaism not shielded by the walls of a ghetto, how to prevent the dispersion of the Jews into the liberty and prosperity of the modern West.

Ikea Kitchen Planner: Adding custom island??
I'm using the Ikea Kitchen Planner but cannot figure out how to add a custom island in the dimensions I want. I've googled, searched here, and experimented for over an hour with the software (which is very counter intuitive for me). I'm beyond frustrated. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
You will probably have better luck getting advise at the ikeafans website.
I would probably add a sizable appliance or table in the spot just to help with proportions. That said, I'm no pro. I can't get it to do fillers like I want or reversing my drawers in the dead space (so facing my dining area, instead of kitchen).
You will get great advice where the Ikea experts hang out. The forums at ikeafans.com
Here is a link that might be useful: Ikea forums
I do not remember how, but there was a combo of keystrokes -- not mentioned on the planner instructions -- that would allow you to set a cabinet just where you wanted it, detached from the "force" that insists on dragging it to the position of its choice.
I used this to set cabinet bases for an island, pulling them this way and that to play with the outside dimensions.

The true account of the 1979 rescue of six American hostages from Iran On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there is a little-known drama connected to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a top-level CIA officer named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them before they were detected.
Disguising himself as a Hollywood producer, and supported by a cast of expert forgers, deep cover CIA operatives, foreign agents, and Hollywood special effects artists, Mendez traveled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake science fiction film called Argo. While pretending to find the perfect film backdrops, Mendez and a colleague succeeded in contacting the escapees, and smuggling them out of Iran.
Antonio Mendez finally details the extraordinarily complex and dangerous operation he led more than three decades ago. A riveting story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is the gripping account of the history-making collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage.
Given the updated release of Steve Mariotti's classic The Young Entrepreneur's Guide to Starting and Running a Business on Tuesday, we decided...... READ MORE

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Department of Commerce, announced on Monday that it intends to sponsor a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) to facilitate public-private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies.
This is the first of three notices which must be published over a 90-day period in order to advise the public of the agency's intention to sponsor an FFRDC.
Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 22, 2013.
Comments on this notice must be received by Keith Bubar, Contracting Officer, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Mailstop 1640, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, including by email to Mr. Bubar at keith.bubar @ nist.gov
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), hosted by NIST, is a public-private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies. The NCCoE will bring together experts from industry, government, and academia under one roof to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address the real world needs of complex Information Technology (IT) systems. By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IT assets, the NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT communications, data, and storage systems, lower risk for companies and individuals in the use of IT systems, and encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services.
NIST has identified the need to support the NCCoE's mission through the establishment of an FFRDC. In evaluating the need for the FFRDC, NIST determined that no existing FFRDC or contract vehicles provide the scope of services NIST requires. The proposed NCCoE FFRDC will have three primary purposes:
- Research, Development, Engineering, and Technical support;
- Program/Project Management, to include but not limited to expert advice and guidance in the areas of program and project management focused on increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity applications, prototyping, demonstrations, and technical activities; and
- Facilities Management.
The proposed NCCoE FFRDC may also be utilized by non-sponsors.
The FFRDC will be established under the authority of 48 CFR 35.017.
The NCCoE FFRDC Contractor will be available to provide a wide range of support including, but not limited to:
Research, Development, Engineering and Technical Support:
Establish relationships with private sector organizations to use private sector resources to accomplish tasks that are integral to the operations and mission of the NCCoE.
Research and develop frameworks and implementation strategies for inducing industry to invest in and expedite adoption of effective cybersecurity controls and mechanisms on an enterprise-wide scale; and in collaboration with Federal and local governments, deliver planning and documentation support needed to transfer technologies developed by Federal cybersecurity organizations and the NCCoE to production, integration economic development, and operational implementation entities.
Provide systems engineering support to NCCoE programs and proposed security platform development, selection, and implementation. This will include NCCoE infrastructure, project planning, project implementation, and technology transfer components of the NCCoE's efforts to accelerate adoption of robust cybersecurity technologies in the government and private sectors.
Generate technical expertise to create a relevant cybersecurity workforce in coordination with the NCCoE staff and in close collaboration with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education and with Federal government, university, and industry participants and collaborators in NCCoE activities.
Deliver strategies and plans for applying cybersecurity standards, guidelines, and best practice inducements and capabilities to both government and private sectors.
Program/Project Management:
Work within the purpose, mission, general scope, or competency as assigned by the sponsoring agency.
Develop and maintain in-depth institutional knowledge ofNCCoE programs and operations in order to maintain continuity in the field of cybersecurity and to maintain a high degree of competence, objectivity, and independence in order to respond effectively to the emerging cybersecurity needs of the Nation.
Facilities Management:
In coordination with NCCoE staff, and in collaboration with the State of Maryland and Montgomery County, Maryland, manage physical and logical collaborative facilities to support the acceleration and adoption of robust cybersecurity technologies in the government and private sectors. The activity includes staff support for information technology operations, custodial functions, physical access management, and maintenance operations.
The FFRDC will partner with the sponsoring agency in the design and pursuit of mission goals; provide rapid responsiveness to changing requirements for personnel in all aspects of strategic, technical and program management; recognize Government objectives as its own objectives, partner in pursuit of excellence in public service; and allow for use of the FFRDC by non-sponsors.
This notice in accordance with 48 CFR 5.205(b) of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), to enable interested members of the public to provide comments on this proposed action. This is the first of three notices issued under the authority of 48 CFR 5.205(b). In particular, we are interested in feedback regarding the proposed scope of the work to be performed by the FFRDC, and the presence of any existing private- or public-sector capabilities in this area that NIST should be considering.
It is anticipated that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be posted on FedBizOpps in the Summer of 2013.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

CPJ launches US report
Following CPJ's release of its report on the state of press freedom in the United States, the organization is pursuing high-level meetings with the White House. CPJ had drafted six recommendations that were shared with President Obama, including calling for a guarantee that journalists would not be at legal risk or prosecuted for receiving confidential and/or classified information.
CPJ continues to work toward securing a meeting with the Obama administration in order to discuss the report's findings.
"Given our 32-year history fighting for press freedom around the world, we believe CPJ can make an important contribution to the press freedom concerns and debate in the United States," CPJ Chairman Sandy Rowe wrote in a blog published the day after the report.]]>
It could have been the script for a John Le Carré intrigue. On Saturday October 12, Belgian security agents arrested Mohamed Abdi Hassan, a kingpin of Somali piracy known as "Afweyne" (Big Mouth), and his associate Mohammed M. Aden, nicknamed Tiiceey, a former governor of Himan and Heeb province.]]>
The celebration Tuesday of the 50th anniversary of the Association of European Journalists (AEJ) should have been a joyful and lighthearted affair. Dozens of journalists from all parts of the European Union had traveled to Brussels to share memories, new projects, champagne, and petits fours.]]>
I liked Rémi a lot.
Rémi was fragile, yet he didn't really try to conceal the fact. His fragility was his strength, a formidable one at that. Unlike so many journalists of today, Rémi was a true idealist, a rare mix of innocence and panache, compassion and bravery.]]>
Seated near the fireplace in a historical home in Tournai, a medieval town 70 miles from Brussels and a stone's throw from the French border, while snow fell outside, Solange Lusiku Nsimire was enjoying not only the company of friends, but the chance to live for a few days without fearing suspicious noises in the garden or ominous knocks on the door.]]>
The European Policy Centre (EPC), Brussels' leading think tank, hosted CPJ for a policy dialogue marking the launch of our annual survey, Attacks on the Press, on Tuesday. CPJ's visit to Brussels coincided with a heated debate over Hungary's new controversial media law, which has eclipsed the country's first months as EU's rotating president. The law became a focus of our Tuesday discussion.]]>
On January 19, 2007, Hrant Dink, the founder and editor-in-chief of the Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos, was gunned down in front of his office building in Istanbul. The murder sent shockwaves through the Turkish and international human rights and press freedom communities. It also triggered a mobilization of thousands of Turkish intellectuals, activists, and citizens that marched through the streets of Istanbul under banners claiming "We are all Hrant Dink."]]>
On February 16, CPJ held an ambitious international launch of our annual report Attacks on the Press. We coordinated events in six cities on four continents in order to expand the reach of our international headlines while also focusing on specific issues in each region. So how did we do?

stay for 3 nights and purchase from agoda..room spacious and clean but staff not very friendly and welcoming huhu..no problem during check in and check out..breakfast so so (not to much to choose)..overall just ok..
What I like about this hotel is: the bathtub, room quite spacy, lcd tv with few satellite channels, 1 elevator and free parking.
What I dont really like is: breakfast too simple with bread and cereal only, room have an upgrade but could be better (cant imagine how bad was it before upgrade), got a window view of the next...
Must be one of the better value hotels in its rating category - not the Ritz but clean with large rooms and comfy beds Breakfast is basic but adequate if your on a tight budget . WiFi OK. fairly central. Had some family problems and had to leave early staff could not have been more helpful.
Arrived late in the night, and as it was during chinese new year it was almost impossible to find available rooms in the Old Town of Penang. Ended up in Hotel Mingood and paid 222 RM (!) for a night. It was their last room. What a joke! Room was old, dingy and uncomfortable with a noisy aircondition. The only...
We stayed here for 1 night only. Expensive.but not worth the price.Hotel staff was not friendly.No hot water in the bathroom.everything in the room was so old.need renovation. There were only a few parking lots.breakfast choice was too minimal.overall a bad hotel.not worth the price. staying here spoiled our trip.
The hotel is well placed close to the Colonial district and walking distance to Armenian street and Little India.
For those who want to tour the whole island the hop on hop off bus is good value 45 rm for 24 hours and you can catch at stop 11 on chulia near Little India .Gets you to all major attractions...
Room quite spacious but bathroom is in bad condition. Shower is not working and room quite dull and need serious refurbishment.
Looks very vintage and restaurant only serve limited breakfast.
Only good for sleeping since the bed are comfortable and big.
We wanted a place to stay for 3 weeks and did not want to keep changing hotels for this period. Having read the reviews we took a gamble and booked this hotel. As usual we keep an open mind and let the place do the talking. It was nothing fantastic to look at on the outside but we knew that...
I started out in one room, but was so unhappy with it because the a/c did nothing to help cool the room down, I was moved to a "renovated" room, which wasn't much better, but the a/c was effective. Consider the following comments to be about the renovated room (except for comments about the balcony).
The relatively good things:
If you can avoid it then do so.
I only ended up here because I booked a visarun from Phuket with a company called TVR visarun. The accomodation was supposed to be at banana boutique hotel but on arrival it was full and some of us were sent to this hole. I imagine this is how they get a lot...

As I have said before I have no real problem with Gay Marriage. No, I do not think we will ever see a constitutional amendment defining marriage, and that is, to me for the best. The definition of marriage ought to be left to the states, and there ought to be a federal statute preventing suits that seek to force states to recognize same sex marriages. To me, it is highly probable that most same sex couples, like most Heterosexual couples really do not wish to force their weddings, or marriages on to anyone else. they wish to be happy, and I hope they are. Are you shocked by this? Does it surprise you that a Conservative would utter such beliefs? If so it should not. After all, I am just not a very good "Social" Conservative where public policy and laws are concerned. Outside of abortion, which is a barbaric procedure that destroys an innocent human life, I really want the government, on all levels, OUT of issues many "Social" Conservatives wish it to be in. Face it folks, once government is in, well, they stay in. That is nothing anyone who loves liberty should hope for.
To me, the real threat from Gay marriage is from a small minority of Gay activists who will never be sated unless they force, yes force, through governmental powers, everyone to kneel before them and praise them. The stories of bakeries, wedding planners, florists, wedding photographers, etc. who refuse to do business with same sex weddings are a warning sign to all of us who love liberty. Surely you have heard and read these stories, and surely you have heard those business owners who are being persecuted by activists and their willing partners in Statism in government claim that their inherent right to freedom of religion is under assault. And, yes, they are correct, their freedom of religion IS being attacked. But, we never seem to hear anyone say that the equally basic right of freedom of association is being attacked do we? This bothers me.
Take this story for instance. A florist is being sued because, well, she dared to take a stand for her beliefs
A Washington florist who was sued after refusing to provide services for a gay wedding rejected Friday the state attorney general's offer to settle the case against her, saying the deal requires her to give up her religious freedom.
Barronelle Stutzman, the 70-year-old owner of Arlene's Flowers, said she has turned down the settlement agreement offered by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, which requires her to pay $2,001 and agree to participate in same-sex marriage ceremonies by creating floral arrangements and providing other services.
"Your offer reveals that you don't really understand me or what this conflict is all about," Ms. Stutzman said in a letter to Mr. Ferguson. "It's about freedom, not money. I certainly don't relish the idea of losing my business, my home, and everything else that your lawsuit threatens to take from my family, but my freedom to honor God in doing what I do best is more important."
Mr. Ferguson's offer came after a Benton County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday against Ms. Stutzman, saying she had violated the state's Consumer Protection Act by declining service for a same-sex wedding ceremony in 2013.
Hmmm, what type of law, in a free nation, based upon individual liberty, would seek to force a business owner to do business with someone they chose not to? Is that liberty? No, that is not. Yes, yes, I know, right now people are reading this and saying "but discrimination is bad". To that I would say SOME discrimination is bad, some is not, it depends. It is like the time I broke off a relationship because the young lady I was dating vandalized the car of female co-worker of mine. She got jealous because she saw us talking in the store parking lot. Did I not discriminate in my decision? Certainly, I chose to stop associating with a nut case who was extremely jealous. So, I discriminated, maybe she should have been able to sue me, to force me to continue sleeping with her? That would be ludicrous you say?
Well, what if I owned a business and refused to sell my products, or perform a service for her based on her actions? Would that be illegal? Should I be forced to allow her in my store, or to conduct a business transaction with her? Most would answer of course not in such a case. But, choosing not to do business with someone based on their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation is different. How exactly? If I open a business, should I not, as a business owner have the same right to freedom of association? Should a Homosexual florist have a right to do business with ONLY same-sex couples? Should such a florist be allowed to offer services to ONLY Lesbian couples? Yes, absolutely they should. Should they be allowed to refuse service to Christians? Yes, they should. It is THEIR business.
I know, I know, we have been conditioned to think discrimination is bad, and in many cases it is. But, the government should not hold such power as to dictate against freedom of association. That is the rub here folks. Personally, If I was that florist in the story I referenced, I would do business with pretty much anyone with money to pay for services. But,what if someone wanted flowers for a Satanic Church function? I would tell them to pound sand. Could I be forced to sell them flowers? Would I be forced to lose my business, maybe go to jail, pay huge fines or sell a Satanist flowers?
Yes, I know, I know, many will argue that I am comparing apples and oranges, but I am not. I am arguing a principle here. Principles are bigger than issues. Far bigger frankly. Is discrimination against people based on who they sleep with wrong? As long as we are talking about people of age then yes, I believe it is. But, what if I own a business and I am also dating a 17-year-old girl? She is of age, but it would disgust most people that a guy in his forties would date a teenage girl. Should they NOT have a right to say "I would never buy anything from that scumbag!" Absolutely! Freedom of association. Now, what if those same people owned a business and decided that I should not be welcome in their store? Should they NOT hold a right to tell me to piss off and not come back? Does freedom of association not work both ways? Should a business be forced to do transactions with a forty something guy, or woman, who is banging a 17-year-old? No, because freedom of association.
Now, I know some will say that I am conflating issues and giving extreme examples to prove a point. No, again, this is about principle! Either we have a right to associate with whom we choose or we do not! That is no different from saying either we have a right to speak unless someone is offended! The fact is our right to speak is the same no matter how many we offend. The same is true of the right to freedom of association is it not? Think about that question folks.

'Stylish design • HSDPA and Wi-Fi • Good battery life • Integrated e-mail, Web and document browsing.'
'Great Business Phone.'
'Nokia tried to prize this Jurassic (OK, 2001) phone from their gnarled fingers with the simple and clean E50, but with limited success.'
'best phone'
'Navigation of the W810 menus is pleasantly intuitive, like most recent Sony Ericsson phones.'
'dedicated music controls'
'Switching between the cell phone and the music player is seamless, as music automatically stops when you receive a call.'
'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'
'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'
'sound good, clean and accurate'
'Unfortunately, the "more" in this case is more bad, as in a bad music software application. '
'No Wi-Fi.'
'Weak camera flash'
'Unfortunately, the flash is just a single LED - it's tiny and therefore struggles to adequately take photos in dim lighting.'
'Luckily, Nokia caters to the needs of people that don't demand much from their mobiles and the Nokia 6700 Slide is the perfect phone for children or adults that, for whatever reason, don't want the hassle of "all that fancy stuff". '
'wrong button'
'the phone felt great.'
'This is significantly more noticeable when opening the phone, and detracts from the phone's premium quality feel.'
'gold color schemes'
'two large soft keys open the menu and the Web browser when in standby mode.'
'very good-looking phone'
'you want a phone that fits in a tiny purse, won't bulge out of a pocket, and looks smashing sitting on a tabletop, this is it.'
'Boxy phone is uncomfortable to hold.'
'full QWERTY keyboard'
'bright, 65k-color screen'
'134g RIM BlackBerry 8700g Strong email and browser features'
'bright, 2.5-inch QVGA display'
'Awkward keypad layout.'
'bright, readable screen'
'The "1 MP" tag itself is bound to attract a fair share of audience who are high on camera phones.'
'completely innovative new feature'
'Like a number of other Nextel handsets, the i1 features a sturdy design and meets Military Specifications 810f so it can withstand dust, shock, vibration, rain, humidity, fog, and more.'
'the i1's awesome PTT capability and the carrier's all-in, $50/month prepaid service make this phone a good deal nonetheless.'
'The PTT speaker was loud and PTT performance was solid overall, but Michael thought the audio was a bit harsh at higher levels. '
'The typical slate-like handset looks pretty appealing with its two toned gray and black finish which are supplemented with a soft touch coating to present itself as a fine rugged feeling device. '
'If mobile photography is higher on your priority list, behold the Behold II. '
'good system overall'
'Boring aesthetic.'
'Samsung's intuitive cube menu also provides quick access to six top multimedia features, including music, photos, videos, the Web, YouTube and Amazon MP3 for music downloads. '

Test your beekeeping knowledge...
beebizFebruary 6, 2005
Hey, all you beekeeping experts (self and otherwise proclaimed), do you want to test your beekeeping knowledge?
I ran across this site this afternoon. Located at goodbeekeeping.com's website, it is a 50 question test to see how much you know about the subject. If you take the test more than once, some of the questions will be different because the questions are randomly selected from a data base of a bunch of questions. The first time I took it, I scored 25 of 50. The second time, I scored 38 of 50. I figure I'll leave well enough alone and not take it again!
If you want to take the test, click on the "TEST" link below. If you decide to take the test, let us know how you did!
Hve fun!
