So you have a problem with this (it's the platform):
Support affirmative action to redress discrimination
Our commitment to civil rights is ironclad. We will restore vigorous federal enforcement of our civil rights laws for all our people, from fair housing to equal employment opportunity, from Title IX to the Americans with Disabilities Act. We support affirmative action to redress discrimination and to achieve the diversity from which all Americans benefit. We believe a days work is worth a days pay, and at a time when women still earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, we need stronger equal pay laws and stronger enforcement of them. We will enact the bipartisan legislation barring workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. We are committed to equal treatment of all service members and believe all patriotic Americans should be allowed to serve our country without discrimination, persecution, or violence. We support the appointment of judges who will uphold our laws and constitutional rights, not their own narrow agendas.
And because you believe everything now is equal and this is unnecessary? You are entitled to your beliefs.

No, blue, not enuff said.
Figured you wouldn't be able to back up your claim. Thanks for proving me right once again.
And go ahead and hold onto your notion that a 2% drop in unemployment over four years is a strong momentum of economic recovery.

Yes, redress discrimination by punishing folks who dont even engage in it, but happen to share the same skin color as some who do. That right there is whack job mainstream liberal thinking. Folks should be treated as individuals and judged on the basis of their individual character, talents, and accomplishments. You will never convince me that it is okay to discriminate, never.
Also the 77 cents on the dollar thing has been rebuked many times and is nothing more than left wing propaganda, which most liberals because they just want to hear views that reinforce their beliefs swallow hook, line, sinker. The actual wage gap is a few pennies and it's unexplained, which mean it may not even be caused by overt discrimination ... I can think of many reasons other than discrimination that could cause this, in fact:
"The 23-cent gap is simply the average difference between the earnings of men and women employed "full time." What is important is the "adjusted" wage gap-the figure that controls for all the relevant variables. That is what the new AAUW study explores.
The AAUW researchers looked at male and female college graduates one year after graduation. After controlling for several relevant factors (though some were left out, as we shall see), they found that the wage gap narrowed to only 6.6 cents. How much of that is attributable to discrimination? As AAUW spokesperson Lisa Maatz candidly said in an NPR interview, "We are still trying to figure that out."
One of the best studies on the wage gap was released in 2009 by the U.S. Department of Labor. It examined more than 50 peer-reviewed papers and concluded that the 23-cent wage gap "may be almost entirely the result of individual choices being made by both male and female workers." In the past, women's groups have ignored or explained away such findings.
"In fact," says the National Women's Law Center, "authoritative studies show that even when all relevant career and family attributes are taken into account, there is still a significant, unexplained gap in men's and women's earnings." Not quite. What the 2009 LABOR DEPARTMENT study showed was that when the proper controls are in place, the unexplained (adjusted) wage gap is somewhere between 4.8 and 7 cents."
Feminists such as those the National Women's Law Center have a vested interest in making a problem that barely exists seem like a huge problem. If the truth were known, there would be no reason for them to exist. Asking their opinion about women's issues, is like asking a DEA agent if we should allocate more money to fight the war on drugs.

No, dude, the labor department is wrong!!! They are controlled by tea party members, with an agenda!
Individual choices would be like a woman getting pregnant and staying out of the workforce to raise children while the children are young, like my wife has done. She's not going to be making the same as a man in her same field who didn't leave the workforce for 9 years like she did, nor would she think it unfair that she doesn't.
Now feminists would say, we need to do more to help women raise children and work, but that's not what my wife wanted. She didn't want to work. She's just wanted to be a SAHM. That alone was enough on her plate.
Another individual choices would be the fact that in many families (although this is changing) men tend to be the primary income earners. Because of this, especially where the man makes a lot more $ their souse, the family is more likely to relocate if a better job opportunity that offers more money appears for the man compared to the woman.
Think of it like this ... let's say I make $50 an hour, but my wife makes $15 an hour ... let's say my wife can get a job making $25 an hour, but we would have to move a few hours away ... she's probably not going to take that job, because I'd need to find a new one and we probably couldn't just live on her $25 an hour, until I found one.
Let's say the tables are turned and I can get a job a few hours away making $60 an hour, but my wife would need to find a new job ... we are more likely to move in the case of me receiving a higher wage, because we can survive on my $60 an hour (which is almost the combined $65 we were making before the move) until my wife finds a comparable job.
The fact that men and families will more often relocate to chase dollars, alone skew the statistics.
There are many other nondiscriminatory reasons that could explain it as well.

And really, Ferrerman, how do you rectify those situations.
How do you make women more likely to uproot their family and move across the country to take jobs? How do you make women not take a leave from work for raising children?
Also if it is things of this nature, what do you do to employers to prevent the income gap that arises from these types of decisions. Should you even do anything? Should an employer pay a woman who has been out of the workforce for 9 years the same as a man who hasn't? In my hypo up above, should the employer who is only paying the wife $15 an hour be forced to pay her $25 because if she were willing to relocate a few hours away she could make that much working for someone else? I don't think so.

Can any of the computer gurus tell me if it's going to make much of a difference if I buy a laptop with 1. ghz vs. 2.20 ghz? We just use it fo surfing the net, my kid plays some (not high graphic) games and stuff. Not a whole lot. I sometimes (though rarely) use if for movies and (alsorarely) to play a DVD.

text: I have recently developed several rolls of Acros (shot at 100) in Rodinal 1+100, standing or semi-standing for one hour. When I look at them under the loupe, they look absolutely beautiful. They're almost like negative slides. However, when I scan them, they end up way too contrasty. The midtones are outweighed by the highlights and shadows, and everything looks like I shot it under an arc lamp. A black and white cat in the shade has blown-out white fur and blocked-up black fur. A man in the sunlight with his dog produces a nearly unusable shot that half looks like I shot it on document film. I thought that stand development was supposed to reduce contrast. Am I overdeveloping? Would I be better served by shooting at a lower EI, reducing my stand development time, agitating less, switching to normal development, or switching to Xtol, D76, Diafine, or HC110? (I know it's not a scanning problem; the scanner is set to use the full range of contrast on the film, and I adjust it in Photoshop.)

Essential: we trust the leaders-in-waiting more than the leaders
Kevin Rudd is more trusted to act in the community's interest than any other significant political figure, according to polling from Essential Research, which also shows Labor has failed to recover reputationally from its 2011 nadir.
More than a third of voters (37%) have some or a lot of trust in Rudd to act in the community's interest, ahead of Malcolm Turnbull on 33%, Tony Abbott on 29% and Prime Minister Julia Gillard on 26%. Turnbull appears to be a less polarising figure, however; 25% of voters have no trust at all in him, compared to 30% for Rudd, 43% for Abbott and 45% for Gillard.
Australian companies fare better than any politician, with 46% of voters saying they trusted local companies to act in the community's interest — compared to just 8% who trusted foreign companies. Indeed, 57% of voters had no trust at all in foreign companies.
Mining magnates fared little better. Only 14% of voters trusted billionaires like Gina Rinehart or Clive Palmer to act in the community's interest, with 73% having little or no trust in them. Banks were held in similarly low regard — 17% trusted them and 66% had little or no trust. The results follow recent evidence that voter trust in key institutions has fallen — most particularly federal Parliament.
Essential also ran its periodic assessment of important election issues and the parties' respective levels of trust in handling them. The economy, health, protecting Australian jobs and industries and education all remain the most frequently-cited key issues for voters. On economic management, Labor has made up no ground on the Coalition since last December and trails 26% to 44%, despite a welter of good economic news and interest rate cuts since then.
On health, the Coalition has stretched its lead on Labor from three to six points, 36-30%. On protecting Australian jobs and industries, the government has gone backwards as well, trailing 29-35%, while on education it still trails the Coalition by two points, 33-35%.
Only on a fair industrial relations system does Labor hold a lead, 36-30%, which has widened a little since last year. The Greens hold leads over both parties on protecting the environment and addressing climate change. And Labor still trails the Coalition by 18 points on controlling interest rates, despite successive cuts since last November.
In short it appears Labor's effort to refocus on a more "Labor values" related platform around job protection and economic management hasn't yet translated into voter perceptions around the party.
Yet again the capacity of partisanship to influence economic perceptions was displayed, too. Less than half (43%) of voters think the economy is "heading in the right direction", up from 36% in March, but only 26% of Liberal voters think it is compared to 71% of Labor voters and 63% of Greens. But 56% of voters are concerned about job security, up seven points since March, despite the rise in belief that the economy is heading in the right direction. And, again, 67% of Liberal voters are concerned about their jobs compared to 46% of Labor voters.
Voters also think business groups and the Liberal Party benefit from media bias while Labor and the unions face bias against them — unexpected results since normally perceptions of bias are also affected by partisanship, with voters tending to think the media is biased against the party they support.
On voting intention, there was minimal change: Labor picked up a primary vote point to 33%; the Coalition and the Greens remained the same on 49% and 10% respectively, for a two-party preferred outcome of 56-44 in favour of the Coalition.

Short listed leaders Kevin Rudd / Malcolm Turnbull according to Essential Research is in step with our journalist who have short memories! Rudd, more trusted to act in the community's interest than any other significant political figure. I do not think so Bernard. I and many others connect Kevin Rudd straight to his time during the Wayne Goss government when child abuse took place in the John Oxley Centre.
Perhaps crikey could do an interview with Kevin Rudd and again ask him those questions he side stepped because things were being inquired into. The Heiner Affair and Shreddergate remain an unfinished chapter inn Queensland political history

Annette McIntosh, 37, is one of the living victims of Shreddergate - a 20-year controversy involving politicians, shredded documents and "hush money". Kevin Rudd is part of this dysfunctional abuse of due process.
I have a lot of trouble understanding how taxpayers can be identified as considering voting for him!

Sometimes they are shot down in flames.
But gangs of bogans howling epithets like "stupid" don't take anything out but themselves.

The Heiner Inquiry was into the administration of the Juvenile Detention Centre not sexual abuse. Heiner himself said he did not hear evidence about the rape "case" in question and no-one can say what "evidence" was destroyed. The Inquiry was illegally constituted by the National Party Govt and had to be shut down. Testimony was destroyed and I repeat no-one knows what evidence was destroyed or if any was.
The fuss made about it is a despicable partisan troll exercise by the Right, hiding behind the suffering of others. They delight in dragging it out and waving it around at the most irrelevant times, like now.

The only thing these polls confirm is how stupid people are or how little their perceptions are based on well informed opinions. Or maybe it's just the people who get polled?
I am still yet to come across any one that has been a participant in this sort of polling or even TV surveys. Is this because of the circles I mix in or do these polling companies just make it up as they go along? I suspect the latter!

Fast times in flooring (Part I of II)
Things are happening fast in this industry and 2013 was a year packed with changes. I'm talking about significant, industry-changing events and practices with tremendous long-term implications.
The first one that comes to mind is LVT. Talk about a hot growth category. We saw it at Domotex Asia where it seemed that everyone with a plant was producing this stuff, whether they knew how to do it or not. And there's the rub: many of those new entrants simply won't be here tomorrow but LVT most certainly will be. Fortunately, there are plenty of reliable options.
Domestically, LVT shows no signs of slowing as manufacturers continue to onshore LVT production facilities and expand their lines with some of the best LVT products in the world. Reputable foreign suppliers are also pulling away from the pack with technology enhancements and patented installation systems. There is only one caveat for LVT: Will it be commoditized as laminate was; and if so, how soon?
The next biggest thing is that home centers have emerged — some say we're finally seeing them for what they truly are — as destroyers of independent flooring retailers much in the same way Walmart has been doing on Main Street USA all across America. Make no mistake, it is no accident — they have targeted your market, your customers, your business for takeover. And unfortunately, most specialty retailers are letting them get away with it. They don't challenge them, they don't advertise with nearly the same frequency, and they often carry the same tired lines that Home Depot does.
David Elyachar, aka Big Bob himself, says that the best way to combat home centers is by adding stores in your market and taking them head on. Whether it's at the lower end or with a bunch of different store identities, he feels specialty retail can compete against these guys and win.
Another sea change is hardwood pricing. That has gone through the roof. And between rising demand for raw materials for all building and construction trades, and a lumber industry that has been contracting for several years now, prices will go up and stay up.
The good news is that today's engineered hardwood floors can compete at price points that bring them back within range that consumers are willing to pay. Also, there are indications that early consumers of laminate who are now looking to replace those floors are opting for hardwood, according to Rick Barrett, representing the National Wood Flooring Association at a seminar held at Domotex Middle East.
There have been other changes that we'll take a look at in Part II of this column.

I'm reblogging this in light of last week's SCOTUS ruling on marriage equality. I'm delighted, obviously! #Lovewins! Also, the media these days would have you believe that the Christian Right has a monopoly on Christianity, but nope. Nope. Nope. It doesn't.
With all the fuss we're hearing from Christians in the media these days about the evils of homosexuality, it's got to make you wonder how I can say that homosexuality is no more sinful than heterosexuality, and still call myself a Christian. More than that, how can the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ (UCC), and the Presbyterian Church (USA), ordain openly gay and lesbian clergy? And why would openly GLBT people want to be clergy in the first place? It seems homosexuality is incompatible with the Bible, right? Wrong.
It all comes down to Bible interpretation. Let's talk about this, shall we?
The Christians we tend to hear in the media, who so vehemently oppose homosexuality as an abnormality, a perversion, or a willful act of sin, are coming from a fundamentalist school of Christian thought.
Just like other world religions…

TAKE Me Out contestant Kyrie Allsopp has revealed she was "disappointed" by her lack of coverage on the show — but hinted that she would like to pursue more TV opportunities in the future.
Miss Allsopp, who comes from Deane, but now lives in Atherton, joined the last series of the dating show hosted by fellow Boltonian Paddy McGuinness on February 1 — and after heavy editing the 24-year-old barely said a word throughout her time on the programme.
The series has now finished and Miss Allsopp did not manage to get a date.
Despite this, the children's club holiday rep remains positive about her experience and says she has made some lifelong friends, and hopes that she will be able to find Mr Right in the future.
She said: "I was disappointed that my answers were cut out of the shows, but it turned out I was on screen a lot because Paddy kept speaking to the two girls next to me.
"I'm not really bothered because I am a great believer that things happen for a reason, and I'm hoping that there will be more TV show opportunities in the future.
"I haven't got anything concrete as yet, but I would like to pursue more TV work.
Related links
"I did want a date and to go to Fernandos, but I was genuinely playing the game, so when the last single man came out and I simply didn't think he was for me, I turned my light off, despite knowing that was game over for me."
Miss Allsopp says she is still looking for her "single man" to reveal himself.
She said: "I have been on a few dates since the TV show ended, but nothing serious as yet. I'm just going with the flow.
"I'm still looking for love but I am just enjoying the buzz from the show at the moment. Plus it was great to meet Paddy, of course.
"I've made some really good friends off the back of Take Me Out. We had the wrap party in Manchester last weekend which was lots of fun, and we're already talking about going to Bristol and then Dublin for more meet-ups."

SACRAMENTO – The Assembly Committee on Appropriations voted Feb. 25 along party lines to support AB 2x (Pan), which locks into state law the federal Affordable Care Act requirements. The vote was 12-5. Committee member Assemblyman Frank Bigelow, R-O'Neals, issued the following statement after opposing the bill:
"Neither the federal legislation or AB 2x will address the economics associated with health care coverage in the state of California," Bigelow said. "Until we are certain that the Affordable Care Act will not negatively affect the people we serve, the legislation is premature."
"The legislation before the committee to implement the Affordable Care Act does nothing to decrease costs or increase health care access for the people of my district," Bigelow said. "In fact, this bill would increase costs of insurance premiums, causing my constituents and all Californians to pay more for health care."
"State and federal legislation to implement ObamaCare will affect all future generations of Californians. We must be sure that the oversight process for health care is deliberate, fiscally responsible and beneficial to our state and our future."

Liberals are demanding an apology from Prime Minister Stephen Harper after a Conservative pollster was censured for conducting a misinformation campaign against MP Irwin Cotler.
An investigation by the market research industry's watchdog concluded Wednesday that the actions of Campaign Research Inc., brought the industry into disrepute.
"The actions of Campaign Research have likely caused the Canadian public to lose confidence in marketing research and have tarnished the image of the marketing research profession," says a ruling by three-member panel of the Market Research and Intelligence Association.
The panel was struck after the association received seven complaints of professional misconduct against Campaign Research.
The complaints related to a voter identification poll the company conducted last autumn on behalf of the federal Conservative party in Cotler's Montreal riding.
The company's callers suggested to constituents - falsely - that Cotler either had or was about to quit as the Liberal MP for Mount Royal.
Cotler said the Conservatives must now take responsibility for the conduct of their pollster.
"I think they should be severing their ties with the firm that undertook these acts on their behalf," he said.
"And they themselves should not only apologize, but undertake that they will not engage in such false and misleading voter suppression again."
When Cotler first complained a year ago about the polling being done in his riding, government House leader Peter Van Loan defended it as a routine matter of identifying Conservative support in Mount Royal.
"The fact is this has been going on as long as politics in this country," Van Loan told the House of Commons. "It is a normal part of politics in this country and it's not a kind of speech that should begin to be chilled at this point."

Mobile apps are redefining the way consumers experience events by putting information at attendees' fingertips and enabling planners to instantly deliver schedules, updates, maps, rich media and more. However, to date mobile apps have primarily been available only to large-scale event organizers. But today, CrowdTorch, the groundbreaking consumer mobile apps division of event management technology leader Cvent, announces a powerful new platform that will empower planners of events of any size to easily, quickly and affordably create their own customized native apps.
The new CrowdTorch app platform makes it possible for an event or festival organizer to simply visit a website, follow a few simple steps and build a customized native app in a matter of hours – a process that has traditionally taken weeks of developer time and substantial resources. It is still widely believed that native apps for events offer an unrivaled attendee experience with which web-friendly apps of today cannot compete.
"We are opening up the native app market in a way that's never been done before, democratizing the process and making apps more affordable than ever," said Todd Rogers, co-founder of CrowdTorch. "Any event, festival, concert or fair that has several hundred people or more is a great candidate for a native app, and there are millions of events like this annually. Yet only a small percentage of events currently benefit from mobile apps. This new platform will change that dynamic."
The new platform is built around a user-friendly, straightforward approach that requires no training or experience in app development – users simply log in and build their app by going through four easy steps:
1) Select features – build the menu for the app
2) Follow the dashboard to input the details like schedules, sponsors, maps, etc.
3) Customize the design – upload backgrounds, choose color palettes and more to design a unique app look and feel
4) Submit the App for approval to Google and Apple.
"Native apps help participants become even more deeply immersed and engaged in events and share their excitement with others through social media," said Brian Ludwig, vice president of sales, Cvent. "We see an incredible growth opportunity by bringing native apps to organizers of virtually any kind of event or activity. These apps are fundamentally transforming the way organizers can drive engagement and an amazing attendee experience."
CrowdTorch has created mobile apps to support a range of world-renowned events, including custom apps for the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, the ESPN X Games, Insomniac Events' Electronic Daisy Carnival and the New Orleans Jazz Festival. With CrowdTorch and sister division CrowdCompass, the business event apps platform, Cvent is the worldwide leader in the mobile app sector with 700 apps developed and approximately 2.5 million branded apps downloaded to date.

Founded in 1999, Cvent is the world's largest meetings and event management technology company and has 1,100 employees worldwide.

2012 Ford F-150 Recalls
Certain vehicles may have been assembled with a transmission range sensor (TRS) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear. If this condition exists, the transmission may not properly engage reverse gear and/or if reverse gear does engage, the "R" indicator on the dash or the backup lamps may not illuminate. These conditions increase the risk of a crash or a pedestrian being struck due to the vehicle's not signaling it is in reverse. Dealers will inspect and replace the transmission range sensor as necessary to correct this concern. The Ford recall number is 12C23.
Incorrect software for the occupant classification system module (OCSM) may have been installed on certain vehicles. Under certain driving conditions, the OCSM may misclassify the passenger seat occupant such that the passenger side airbag does not deploy when it should, does not deploy as intended, or deploys when it should not. Failure in any of these ways will increase the risk of injury to the passenger seat occupant. Dealers will replace the OCSM to correct this concern. The Ford recall number is 12S31.

Knowing and using .NET memory and performance profilers (like e.g. RedGate's ANTS Profiler) very well in my development environment, I still found no real way to do it on a production server.
Currently I'm experiencing every now and then 100% CPU usage of w3wp.exe for a certain application pool.
Looking at various performance counters, I'm still unable to determine the real cause, since I cannot determine in which part of my code the high CPU utilization takes place.
I've tried CLR Profiler on the live server (with no meaningful result) and I even could imagine installing ANTS Profiler and let it run for hours to get some measurement logs.
Just to be sure I'm doing it right, my question is:
What is the best way to do some ad hoc measurements on a production IIS 7 web server to detect code bottlenecks?

The Papaya: A Little Taste of Paradise
Whenever I bite into a silky smooth papaya, I can almost hear the rustling of the palms in the balmy trade winds and feel the warm sun on my shoulders. Mmmmm… The papaya brings a little taste of paradise to us all, wherever we live. Once considered rather "exotic" in many parts of the world, including the US, this sweet, tropical, melon-like fruit has become an increasingly common dessert or accompaniment to breakfasts, salads, and spicy foods. However, in spite of its ever-increasing presence, there is still much to learn about this versatile fruit.
From the Tropics to Your TableGrown in tropical and subtropical areas around the world, the papaya (also called papaw, pawpaw, mamao, or tree melon) is a pear-shaped fruit with skin that turns from green to a bright orange-yellow as it ripens. It is about 6 inches long and can range from 1-20 pounds in weight, depending on the variety. Inside, the papaya has silky smooth, orange-yellow flesh and a large center cavity full of shiny grayish-black seeds. The flesh is juicy and has a subtle, sweet-tart or musky taste, somewhat like a cantaloupe. A properly ripened papaya is juicy and sweet.It is believed that the papaya originated in southern Mexico, Central America, or the West Indies. Now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries, there are about 45 species of papaya. The most common variety in the US is the Solo papaya, which is grown in Hawaii and Florida. Mexican papayas are much larger than the Hawaiian types and may be more than 15 inches long.
Using the Pulp of the PapayaThe papaya is not only delicious, but it is a remarkably versatile fruit. In addition, it can be prepared ahead of time since it does not discolor when exposed to air. Here are some of the many ways that papaya can be served:
- Fresh, stewed, baked, sautéed, barbecued, or as a garnish
- With bananas, pineapple, strawberries, oranges, limes, and coconuts
- Cut into a variety of shapes and served as a breakfast food, in salads, or as a complement to spicy food
- When unripe (green), tossed in salsa or added to soups and stews
- Slightly warmed, cubed, and added, along with cubed mango and pineapple, to fish and poultry
- Added to a fruit smoothie
- Pureed for dressings and marinades

Before implementing the following steps, please verify the ant species by reviewing White Footed Ants: Identification & Biology
1) Toxic baits may eliminate individual ants, but won't wipe out entire colonies since they don't take food back to the colony and regurgitate it like most other ant species;
2) Sterile workers lay unfertilized eggs which are fed to the adults in the colony, so even if you successfully eliminate food sources they may still thrive;
3) White-footed ants reproduce at phenomenal rates, and satellite colonies may be established over a wide area as part of one super colony.
However, using the following methods over time and with a concentrated effort, you can keep an existing infestation under tight control, or prevent un-infested buildings from new invasion.
Broadcasting the entire outdoor property at least 3 times a year with Talstar Granules will also help to manage outdoor mounds. Read more information on how to treat ant nests outdoors and indoors.
Spray Treatments : In addition to treating the colony, do a thorough inspection inside and outside for any additional trails, entry points, and hiding places. Each location where White-footed Ant activity is sighted or suspected should be treated with Talstar to kill any existing ants while preventing new colonies from budding.
For outdoor spraying: Spray a good barrier around the home using a one gallon sprayer. A fan spray that is at least 3 feet high on the side of the building and 3 to 6 feet out on the ground will provide excellent protection.
Dust Treatments: White-footed are known to respond very weakly to baits, so indoor colonies should instead be treated with a residual dust pesticide. Dust underneath baseboards, and inside cracks, crevices, and voids where activity is suspected, including all areas that cannot be sprayed with Delta Dust Insecticide. This is easy to apply using a professional Hand Duster.
Step 4) Baits
As stated earlier, toxic baits can only eliminate half of a white-footed ant colony at best, with only half of its workers foraging on food sources outside the nest. White-footed ants will not bait-share so the half of the colony that "stays home" will never be exposed to the poison. If you wish to bait indoors to reduce colony size, try either Advance Liquid Ant Bait or Advance 360A Dual Choice Ant Bait Stations
After you have applied the appropriate pesticide chemicals, these additional non chemical methods will help you to maintain control and prevent future ant infestations:

Informational pickets were being held by the Michigan Corrections Organization on Monday at the Baraga Prison.
It's an informational picket, against recent budget cuts at the Baraga Maximum Correctional Facility. Over 50 correctional officers lined US-41 with signs regarding the lack of staff and safe prisons.
In an effort to cut cost and save $13 million a year statewide, Baraga Max is just one of the many state prisons that will no longer have their perimeter security vehicles staffed on a 24-hour basis.
"We don't agree with it at all because it is our first and last line of defense," said MCO Chapter President Ed Clements. "People have thrown contraband, guns, and knives over the fences and without that vehicle driving around your prison, there's no line of defense there."
Those who live within a two-mile radius did receive a letter from the Michigan Corrections Organization about the security of their neighborhood. The officers say they also want the general public to be aware of the recent changes.
Pickets are also planned for Marquette on Tuesday and other U.P. prisons on Wednesday.

I originally purchased a Minolta 100-300 APO D, nice IQ, but found the 100mm too restrictive. I then opted for the 55-300 and haven't looked back. I didn't consider the Tamron.
