text: I bought 2 sheets of 15/32 plywood yesterday morning and used one sheet per D Coates plan to cut out 4 boxes, I had some scrap left over and plenty for the four. Cut all four out and assembled two in about 3 hours, they all came out real nice. Thanks Coates for posting a good, simple and great working plan.

Original hive being hot could mean you removed their queen. You really need to verify all hives are queenright.
Original hive being hot could mean you removed their queen. You really need to verify all hives are queenright.
Well, I checked my nuc today to see if they had accepted the queen and to see if things had settled down. What I found was a disaster. I guess I made a huge "newbee" mistake. I thought I had made sure my queen cage was in a good position, but what I found was the worst case scenario. The queen was drowned by the jar feeder i had placed on top and inside the nuc. The $49.95 I paid for shipping is really making me ill now. I was really excited to see the new queen out in the hive today, now i feel really bad about the whole attempt to make a nuc.
I guess I will see if they can make their own queen now. (fingers crossed)
Mike, I hope yours goes alright.
Greg Barnett
OUCH! Sorry about that. I am not sure on my condition yet, as soon as the rain settles down so I can get into the two NUCs to know my answer. I have one super mad at me that has chased me all the way back to the house twice. I guess I will have to put the full suit back on to checkout the NUCs. However I think I will just wear the vinyl thin gloves just in case I find my missing queen so I can put her in the right hive. Worse case for me is one of my queens has been killed by the other. So I would be in your situation of having to buy another queen. My shipping is less since I am 1.5 hours from my vendor and USPS priority mail is next day. One day we will be better!

WOOHOOT!!! The first frame I pulled from the suspected NUC in the picture above had the queen on it. Rather than trying to pick her up I prodded her to walk off the frame back into her hive with a twig. I then checked the same NUC as I had just put a new queen in it this morning. No issues just bees clustered on the queen cage. Now to leave them alone for a bit.
I got lucky this time and also did some newbee lessons!

Great news Mike. Things went your way today. You should just call all of that skill!

Maybe. It depends on the strength of the hive and if they have a viable egg to make a queen from. If the do you are 45 days from seeing any eggs,assuming nothing happens to the queen on her mating flight, like a hungry bird. I plan on studying queen rearing next month, but may not execute due to the limits on a city lot (5 max. hives). You do have a tough decision.
N5RWH - 7a
It's usually 30 days until you see new eggs, not 45, under normal circumstances.
OK, I got it queenright yesterday and swapped positions of the original hive and NUCs. Do these pictures indicate any issues? There seems to be unusually large activity on both NUCs. The yellow one is the one I mistakenly had my original queen in accidently.
N5RWH - 7a
Michael Bush has a page in his website called Bee Math. Link below. It's full of great info for timelines - how long till I get a queen, eggs, etc.
Greg, you may be running out of time for letting a queen be raised and then get the nuc up to winter survival. Since you just lost a queen and fitty bucks shipping, I can certainly understand wanting not to invest in another. Maybe cut your losses and combine with original hive and be ready in spring to split. That way you have time to make a goof and then fix it without the pressure of impending winter.
Mike, I'm sorry, I really am unable to follow where what queen is but Gunter is correct - a hot hive can mean queenless. Are you saying you added a new queen to a nuc that already had a queen?

Well it sounds like everyone is QR now so that's the important thing. Just watch for robbing, but those reducers look like they may just do the trick. Ya like them?
I'm just west of Hot Springs. Grew up in HS and moved back after 20 years in SoCal. We are also scouting retirement. I'll check out Yellville. North Arkansas is beautiful. You sure you won't feel closed in with all those hills???

I need some time with the entrance "wheels" before I can comment. I got them from Brushy Mountain. They have 4 positions, fully open, travel vent, queen excluder (current setting) and bumblebee excluder. I drilled a 1" hole for the entrance. So far I like them but we will see how they do over a couple of years.
I actually did a year at Arkadelphia State Teachers College and drove to HS for beer since we were in a dry county... My rational for Yellville is proximity to the county airport, for medivac, and proximity to hospitals. I looked at Eurika but it is on the wrong side of the lake time wise. I do have friends near Fayetteville so that is open too.
Thanks for the tag up.

Based on the bearding activity I moved both NUCs into 10 frame boxes then left them alone for about 5 days. I checked the NUC 2 that got the new queen last Sat. as I saw very little bee activity at the entrance. Well almost all of the bees migrated back to the original hive and it is pretty weak, but the queen is there. NUC 1 is much stronger , but will leave them alone for another week before checking. Original hive is still taking nearly a gallon of syrup mix a day and hive 2 (NUC 1) is over a quart a day. Hive 1 inspection tomorrow, too much rain today.

I like that hive stand !
It is standing on some 12" square concrete "bricks" about 1-2" thick. The stand is leveled side to side and front to back, as I am starting to insert some foundatiomless frames.
N5RWH - 7a
Follow up on my nuc mistake. I thought I would see if my nuc would build queen cells, after I killed the new queen. I checked the nuc this past Saturday and there were no queen cells. That was two weeks after I put frames in the box. I added another frame of brood, to keep the numbers up. I ordered a new queen on Sunday. I ordered a mated buckfast queen.
She came today and I went to install her around 6pm. When I got into the nuc, there were 4 queen cells on the last frame I put in (there was a lot of bees in the nuc). I destroyed the queen cells. I really hated to do that and wish I had better knowledge to raise queens. Rest assured, I installed the new queen cage better this time. I guess we will see how this one goes!
Mike, I hope your project is coming along.
Greg Barnett
I had to resarect this thread due to a newbee MAJOR error! Well this morning I added a second deep to my new split hives since around 70% had comb built up with brood and stores. Well I had lunch and decided to put the shorter legs, 10" vs. 18", since I also added a med. super to my original hive as I only had one half of a frame empty in the second deep (did not go into the lower one). Anyway I got my farm jack out plus othr tools, nw jegs, etc. and started to raise it to unscrew tne pipe legs. Of couse the entire stand fell over and many thousands of angry bees decided I deserved to become a pin cushon. Luckily I was wearing my full bee suit and did not get stung. well I fixed the stand to its shorter configuration and reassembled the three hives. I had just filled all three FBM feeders, and put in one of the Beetle Jail traps that has also has drone fundation in it. I know I hae lost hundreds of bees, and I am hoping for the best on my queens. If no luck on the queens there is plenty of brood. I plan on waiting aome time before I go in them again. I hope the veggie oil tha was in the inside beetle traps does not cause any issues (all hives have Country Rubes SBBs so I hope all drains.
Any helpful advice on thigs I should have done or need to do would be appreciated

What you see is what you eat, according to the latest study to confirm that watching TV encourages children to eat more junk food. But the researchers say there may be an easy way to stop unhealthy snacking in front of the tube: put healthier foods within easy reach.
Leah Lipsky and Ronal Iannotti are staff scientists at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. They worked on the study, which was reported this week in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. The report says that for every hour of television children watch, they are 8% less likely to eat fruit every day, 18% more likely to eat candy, and 16% more likely to eat fast food. Those results are similar to previous studies that have linked TV viewing with unhealthy eating habits among kids.
Encouraging Healthy Snacking
The reasons for the link between watching TV and eating junk food aren't surprising: young people watching TV are exposed to more advertising for unhealthy foods—such as fast food or sodas—than commercials for fresh fruits and vegetables. Studies show that kids who watch a lot of TV are more likely to prefer eating foods high in sugar, salt and fat, even when they aren't watching TV. Plus, when children spend more time in front of the screen, they are also less likely to be exercising or engaging in healthy physical activity.
The researchers also found that some kids who snacked in front of the tube increased the amount of fruit they ate. It all depended on what was available and within reach. "Of course, the link was nowhere near as strong as that between TV watching and the increased (eating) of candy, soda and fast food in general," says Lipsky. "But it kind of suggests that if you have other options available—and don't have the unhealthy options available—then children might be encouraged to possibly eat more fruit."
That's the message that the Lipsky and Iannotti hope that parents will take away from their report. The study involved more than 12,000 students in grades 5 through 10. The researchers asked the kids about how much time they spent every day watching TV, using the computer or playing video games. They also asked the students to report on how often they consumed various foods, including fruits, vegetables, soda and fast food.
The more TV kids watched, the more unhealthy food they ate. The results suggest that the problem is deeper than kids over-snacking out of boredom while sitting in front of the TV or computer. TV watching can set kids up for a deeper pattern of poor eating habits. When combined with lack of physical activity, this can cause obesity and serious health issues including type 2 diabetes, heart problems and sleep disorders.
Lipsky and Iannotti recommend that parents limit the amount of time kids spend in front of a TV or computer — the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests no more than two hours a day for children over two years old. The researchers also recommend that parents try to encourage healthier snacking habits during TV and computer time by giving kids healthy snacks such as fruits and nuts.

If the All Blacks' collapse against England revealed anything, it was that the line between success and failure in international rugby is fine - and the importance of mental preparation.
It was one of the reasons All Blacks coach Steve Hansen didn't appreciate the talk about his side, who up until last weekend were unbeaten for 20 tests, being the best ever. That can lead to complacency and short-cuts in preparation, both of which are anathema to any coach. But the question remains: were the All Blacks, regarded as the fittest side in international rugby, mentally all there at Twickenham?
The 14th and final test of a demanding year against an opponent with plenty to prove was always going to be difficult but the uncertain start and failure to kick on once fighting back to trail 15-14, and associated defensive disasters, was out of character.
Last year's World Cup meant the All Blacks didn't tour the north but, in 2010, they played 14 tests and comfortably accounted for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales at the finish.
The difference this year was the shoehorning of three tests into the Super Rugby season, which meant it didn't finish until August 4. The toll it and other factors took on the All Blacks was plain to see last weekend.
"No excuses," Hansen said, when asked if the virus suffered by many of his players during the week was to blame. But something clearly wasn't right - whether physical, or mental. Centre Conrad Smith gave an insight into the team's thinking when talking about looking forward to a break.
While he was only truthfully answering a reporter's question, it might not have been the best policy, according to sports psychologist Gary Hermansson.
It was also significant that Smith, so consistent this year for the All Blacks, had a poor game by his standards. His defensive mix-up in the second half which gave up a try isn't something we have come to expect from him.
Hermansson, who has helped New Zealand athletes at four Olympic Games, said talking to the media about tiredness and the prospect of a break could have been self-perpetuating.
"Certainly acknowledge it within the unit but, with the media, once you put that information into the ether, it's gone; it's out there. Whereas if you say as a unit, 'okay, this is where we are vulnerable, so what are we going to do to help counter that?'
"You could imagine a situation where you say, 'look at 4.30pm on Saturday, this is when we stop our focus on being the best team around and the best athletes around. But until 4.30pm on Saturday, all of our attention must be around our performance.'
"You create a rather symbolic marker where you say this is the point where we have permission to shift our attention a bit. If you have some way of identifying that marker and containing your thinking within that space, then that's going to help counter that.
"Without it, you're at a risk subconsciously of leaking that intensity and once that starts, it flows out like [air from] a balloon and you're left feeling flat."
The All Blacks looked flat - much like their defeats at previous World Cups, which Hermansson also has a theory about. Like those losses, once England got a roll on, the All Blacks looked powerless.
"From a mental point of view, you have to accept it was going to be a hard ask for the All Blacks," he said. "It seems to me it didn't matter when the last game was going to be, they were always going to be vulnerable. You almost see the light at the end of the tunnel, you're exhausted, you've had a whole range of expectations to live up to, it was almost tantalisingly close - mentally - the opportunity to stop this treadmill."
Hermansson, 71, an author of several books, including Going Mental In Sport, said the All Blacks' past World Cup disappointments stemmed from fear of failure.
"We have always been vulnerable at World Cup knockout stages. You could say the Australia [semifinal] game last year was the only knockout World Cup match in which we have played with that same ability. For the rest of the time, we have just managed to hang on and we've had some spectacular problems.
"We get motivated more about the fear of failure rather than the desire to win. The next time the All Blacks play England, the motivation shift will be evident but the real question is how that translates into World Cup situations when we continue to be vulnerable in those knockout stages." APNZ

From the moment you book your plane ticket (want to select your seat in advance? That'll be $10, please) to the day you roll up to the check-in counter and shell out $50 for your checked bags, the airlines leave no fee unturned. And this past weekend, most major U.S. airlines found yet another way to line their pockets at the expense of the flying public.
On Friday, Congress failed to pass legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration. As of Saturday, FAA-funded construction projects have been put on hold, all non-essential employees have been furloughed and — most importantly for fliers — the agency has lost the ability to collect various taxes that normally go along with the purchase of a plane ticket.
Hurray! Cheaper airfare for everyone, right?
Well, no. Instead of passing the tax savings on to travelers, most major airlines are raising their fares to offset the cost of the taxes — and pocketing the difference. The Associated Press reports that American, United, Continental, Delta, US Airways, Southwest, AirTran and JetBlue have all increased their fares, typically by about 7.5 percent.
According to an earlier AP report, "Passengers who bought tickets before this weekend but travel during the FAA shutdown could be entitled to a refund of the taxes that they paid, said Treasury Department spokeswoman Sandra Salstrom. She said it's unclear whether the government can keep taxes for travel at a time when it doesn't have authority to collect the money."
Editor's Note: On August 5, the IRS announced that passengers will not be getting refunds for taxes paid during the FAA shutdown after all. You can read the IRS statement here.
There are a few airlines out there that are giving travelers a break, including Virgin America, Frontier, Alaska and Spirit. Yes, that's the same Spirit we wrote about a couple of weeks ago as one of the ugliest airlines in the industry. But hey, we can give credit where it's due. It's nice to see Spirit making the customer-friendly choice for once.
As for the big guys, shame on them. Really, it's no wonder we hate the airlines.

text: Hello. I'm new to the forum. I usually hang out on another site to meet with folks with 58-60 Chevrolet passenger cars. I own two GM trucks. First, I have a 57 Chevy 5100 that's an 'old school' rod. It still has the 235 I6 with dual 2bbl carbs on Offy intake with Fenton headers and dual exhaust and Flowmaster 40's. It's lowered 2". It's a lot of fun. I also have a resto-mod 59 Impala Sport Coupe. Because it's a pretty big investment, I also have a 2011 Chevy 2500HD Duramax LML and 24' enclosed trailer. It's a load but keeps the bad stuff off of the car. I've joined this forum so I have a place to go to learn about and fix my 2500. I'm currently having trouble with power to my running lights on the trailer and brake controller. I joined this site because a Google search highlighted a thread on this forum that seems to have what I need to diagnose my problem. I'll be in touch. Jerry Acheson Glenview, IL


text: This is something that has confused me for a long time as we know heat is the main enemy of engines.... I see posts about adding or upgrading transmission coolers all the time; However no one, even google is not able to produce any evidence of an "external oil cooler". Apparently they exist and they are not standard issue, the reason for this, at least on my 2000, above the oil filter, there are 2 ports (I assume an in and an out) and I have heard some people in passing, refer to an oil cooler. This is not the best pic, I had posted it in reference to the oil leak problem I am having in my 5.3L but it looks like there is a port on top of the casing that the oil filter is attached to (facing up). If anyone could provide some insight as to what an oil cooler(I know what it is, but specifics), with links, photo's and potential part numbers, that would be great. Thank you.

UTSA financial aid staff members with award plaque
UTSA honored for SAEP scholarship awards
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 8, 2009)--The San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP) inducted six of its members into the Million Dollar Club on Friday, March 20. The University of Texas at San Antonio led the group in the number of SAEP awards with more than $2.3 million awarded in SAEP scholarships.

The Million Dollar Club is an exclusive for partners who have received scholarships from SAEP for more than $1 million. The funds benefit education partnership students. Currently, UTSA has 587 students enrolled.
SAEP celebrated with an appreciation breakfast for area college and university partners. Among the attendees were representatives from UTSA, Our Lady of the Lake University, Palo Alto College, San Antonio College, St. Mary's University and University of the Incarnate Word. Each school received a plaque to commemorate the achievement.
"As a former employee of the San Antonio Education Partnership, I'm proud to have been part of this great organization," said Shirley Banez, UTSA associate director of financial aid and scholarships. "It has and continues to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of local high school graduates by furthering their dreams of higher education through scholarships and college access programs."
Students are recruited during their freshman year of high school. They are required to maintain a B average and have 95-percent attendance throughout their four years in high school. With the help of advisers, the students are mentored and guided through the move from high school to college. UTSA offers transition teams who help smooth the process for entering freshmen. Most are first-generation college students, and more than 90 percent come from low-income families.

text: Fair enough, but er, again, never made the point something has to be 100% original to be good. None of the movies I love and worship are 100% original. Rest assured none of my own films to date are 100% original nor will any in the future be. Doesn't mean they are not good nor are they bad. Just because one may like science fiction movies in general does not mean one necessarily must like all science fiction movies, either. I have been in the movie industry for some time now, especially in the 3D field and I have a very deep appreciation of the artistry of Avatar. Heck, I was even offered a job on Avatar (I turned it down because the pay was too low). I have friends who worked on it. I am proud of the job they did. But if one doesn't dig the story, doesn't matter much about how good it looks. And if someone thinks it was like The Lion King, well, actually that's something of a compliment because that's a darn good movie. At least, I think so. But there's no accounting for taste, right?

Cops bust anarchist terror cell suspected of murdering two people, plotting bombings
posted at 9:39 pm on August 27, 2012 by Allahpundit
Via Ace. Usually when a fledgling terror cell is broken up, there's something in the details you can cling to if you want to pretend that things weren't as dangerous as they seemed. Either the FBI caught the plotters early, maybe even before they'd bought weapons, or the cell had little money with which to operate or the plotters' commitment to following through seemed uncertain, half real and half fantasy.
None of that applies here. If the allegations are true, you've got a group with military training, ample financial means, and enough drive to see this through that they've already killed two, and possibly as many as four, people. The ringleader sounds like a genuine psychopath. Oh — and apparently, the cops don't know how many members are still out there.
Ace wants the death penalty for them, as do I. A waking nightmare:
Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group of active and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They allege the group was serious enough to kill two people — former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York — by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret…
Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. Aguigui was not charged in his wife's death, but Pauley told the judge her death was "highly suspicious."…
In a videotaped interview with military investigators, Pauley said, Aguigui called himself "the nicest cold-blooded murderer you will ever meet." He used the Army to recruit militia members, who wore distinctive tattoos that resemble an anarchy symbol, she said. Prosecutors say they have no idea how many members belong to the group…
The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans. It plotted to take over Fort Stewart by seizing its ammunition control point and talked of bombing the Forsyth Park fountain in nearby Savannah, she said. In Washington state, she added, the group plotted to bomb a dam and poison the state's apple crop. Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia's goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.
One strange, fascinating detail to this horror show: Aguigui, who allegedly founded and led the militia and supposedly ordered the killings of Roark and his girlfriend, is a 19-year-old private. One of his henchmen is a 25-year-old sergeant. I don't pretend to understand the psychological dynamics of terror cells but it strikes me as unusual that a soldier of low rank would be able to convince a superior to not only join his gang but to obey his orders, even to the point of murder. The bit in the excerpt about Aguigui using the Army to recruit members is ominous too. Did he join the Army in earnest and then come up with the idea for the militia or did he join the Army in the first place only so that he could recruit people for his true passion? If the latter, that's a remarkable degree of cunning in service to a remarkably evil end for someone so young. And the fact that he was able to pull it off makes it only that much more amazing. What exactly are we dealing with here?
Exit question: Did I misunderstand something in the story or are the feds basically not involved? It sounds like it's all being handled by Georgia authorities, with information being shared with the DOJ. Did the FBI miss this plot somehow? If so, it's an awfully big one to miss.

Exactly what Yo La Tengo are remains one of music's great unanswered mysteries. And it's the intrigue the New Jersey experimental dream rock trio conjure up that makes them so good. Because, with their unbridled ambition, they not only morph from one style and sound into another with ease but still manage to maintain their own singular identity.
So on Fade, the band's 13th album, there's the lovely wonky ditty Well You Better, then Stupid Things starts off dissonant and out of kilter before falling into a hushed dream, and few bands on the planet can hold a staunch, yet somehow ramshackle groove quite the way YLT do on entrancing, six-minute opener Ohm.
Although it's only a few weeks into January, I'll Be Around should rate as one of the most beautiful songs of the year, with a plaintive vocal and folkie guitar pickings from band founder Ira Kaplan and a sonorous bass beneath it all.
Though it's no I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One from 1997, perhaps the band's best album along with a few others from their 90s period, because Fade is too sonically soothing, and - despite its shifting styles - even-tempered to be truly mind-blowing.
But it's an inviting and magical listen that is sure to get better the more time you spend with these songs.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: After 13 albums ambitious trio are far from fading away

I am wintering fewer hives in 10 frames and more colonies in nuc configuration. I have one combined hive that was in a couple of mediums and three deeps. But there wasn't much honey, most was in the medium. I had decided to shake it out when it gets frosty, then I changed my mind in favor of an experiment.
I put the heavy medium frames in 2 medium nucs, and topped it with 5 fairly full frames I gathered from the thee deeps. Then I pulled 5 full frames from three doomed colonies and put them on top.

text: I just got done test driving the truck, I LOVE it, much better build quality over my 09 tundra, though I think the salesman told me wrong on the tow ratings. Said truck is the work truck, reg cab, long box, 4x4, 6.0 with the 3.73 gear, apparently it only tows 10.2k? That makes absolutely zero sense considering my tundra is rated at 10.3k MAX and this truck is a monster compared, the salesman said that model pulls 12.2k with ease, is the salesman wrong? Anywhoo back to my other question, I am wanting to get rid of my truck as the build quality and overall truck is poor quality, I want to start a small car hauling business(single car on a single car hauling trailer, something on the side) and I didn't want to stick 10.3k behind the tundra, I didn't trust the truck, nor do I think putting that much weight on a half-ton and taking a 500 mile round trip be nice on the components. Will this 6.0 2500hd fit my needs? I am new to chevy, I grew up in a ford family, my dad only buys HD fords, so I came here for some wisdom.

Byron Mann on How to Be a Martial Arts Star
The Man with the Iron Fists' Byron Mann sits down to teach Playboy.com how to be the ultimate martial arts star, the secret to winning over Lucy Liu and the details of his new CW show Arrow.
Most of us have fond childhood memories of toting quarters into the arcade and attempting to beat the high score on the fabled Capcom Street Fighter game. Ever since Byron Mann first grabbed our attention as the con artist Ryu Hoshi in the big-screen adaptation almost two decades ago, the martial arts star has starred in a plethora of action flicks such as Red Corner with Richard Gere and The Corruptor with Mark Wahlberg.
Hitting both theatres and television this month in Universal's martial arts flick The Man with the Iron Fists with RZA, Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu and a starring role on the CW's new hit Arrow, Mann took a break from his kick-ass duties to teach us how to be a martial arts hero, the secret to winning over Lucy Liu and the intensity of filming an action flick.
Playboy.com: What can you tell us about your new film, The Man with the Iron Fists?
Mann: It's an original film—it's not based on anything. It's based on a vision by RZA. It's set in 18th century China. It's a story involving several clans at war with each other, with an English man—played by Russell Crowe—and a black man—played by RZA—caught in between. The best way to sum it up…think of the movie as Lord of the Rings meets Genghis Khan meets Enter the Dragon. The martial arts in this movie are jaw-dropping.
Playboy.com: What was the hardest thing to film?
Mann: The action was not easy. The [action] was directed by Corey Yuen, who does all of the Transporter movies. To give you an example, I broke my knee while filming—I ran full-speed into the corner of an apple box. It blew up to the size of a basketball, I was rushed to the hospital…and then I came back and continued filming. Everybody had to step up [in this film], it was heavy, heavy action. There were wires everywhere. We had 120 days of shooting, then we had a second unit doing just the action and that was another 120 days.
Playboy.com: What was the biggest challenge with filming in China?
Mann: We filmed at a studio called Hengdian, the biggest studio in China and perhaps the world. It sounds nitpicky, but one of the largest challenges was the cold. It's not like shooting at Universal Studios—there's no heating at all. We were shooting in -20, -10 degrees and no heating. It's hard to act; it's not as easy as shooting here [in L.A.].
Playboy.com: Tell us about your character, Silver Lion.
Mann: Silver Lion is basically the main villain in this movie. He's like the son of the king who turned out to be the bad guy and he basically betrayed everyone—RZA, Russell Crowe's character—all of them are after the Silver Lion. He becomes an evil prince. Originally we don't know that he's bad until a third of the way through the movie, but that was an initial long cut; you can't have a three-hour movie, so it's now clear that he's the evil prince from the get-go.
Playboy.com: It's been almost 18 years since you filmed Street Fighter. What have you learned about the action film industry and martial arts since then? Is there anything you would have liked to have known back then about filming this genre?
Mann: I would've done more stretching…[laughs] I actually mean it. To really do stunts and action well, you need to be limber—that's the first prerequisite. Since Street Fighter, I've trained in Wushu. It's a fancy word for Chinese martial arts plus a little acrobatics. I was trained by Tony Chang, who did all the martial arts for Hero, House of Flying Daggers, all these big films. But what I love about it is that you learn these stretching techniques which make you 100 percent more limber. Before [SF] I thought that the bigger, the better; the bigger the muscles and body, the better. Now as I look back it's better to be lean and mean. Instead of bulk I go defined. It's better on your body: you go faster and it's better on your joints. A lot of guys have humungous chests and biceps, but their legs are like chicken feet. So they have knee problems because they're supporting their upper bodies. There's a way of hitting hard but landing lightly. There's ways of doing things.
Playboy.com: How intimidating is a sexy woman like Lucy Liu when brandishing a sword?
Mann: [Laughs] Lucy brandishes much more than a sword in the film. She was fantastic; she has that reputation as the ice queen but she was very warm. She asked me where the nearest organic food shop was in China. I told her there were none. [laughs]
Playboy.com: How does one impress the great Ice Queen?
Mann: No pun intended, but if you can do the playboy well, you'll impress her. She likes to laugh. I think certain things that I did made her laugh; maybe my character was funny? [laughs] I wasn't working to do it, but it came out naturally.
Playboy.com: Can you give us five things you need to know to become a martial arts hero?
Mann: As I mentioned, you've got to be limber.
You've got to know how to hit hard and land soft or you're not going to make it.
You've got to be able to follow the choreography. It's choreographed—follow it!
Don't take yourself too seriously. Gone is the age that the hero is invincible. People need to relate to you; show some vulnerability.
You've got to either be smart…or know how to act it. [laughs]
Playboy.com: You've just joined the cast of The CW's Arrow. What can you tell us about that?
Mann: Wow, I signed this confidentiality form…but I can tell you Arrow is about a rich kid (played by Stephen Amell) that's on a ship and it capsizes and everyone dies except for him. He gets marooned on an island for five years, then returns as a vigilante. It's based off the DC comic book Green Arrow. My character is a very secretive character, but I can say it's someone he meets on the island. My character is intrinsically involved with his evolution into the Arrow. My character up until last week didn't have a name—his name is Yao Fei—my character is based off a character from the comic book but has been modified. Watch me shoot some arrows! [laughs] [Arrow] is going to be much more gritty, darker and edgy than Smallville.
Playboy.com: What do you have coming up?
Mann: I have a film [A Stranger in Paradise] I did last year with Stuart Townsend. It's a thriller set in Bangkok, and we were filming when the country was flooding. Each day I'd wake up I'd look out to see if flooding was coming down the street. Crew members would be getting phone calls that their homes are underwater while filming—they kept filming! I also did a big Chinese movie that's opening in China that's called Cold War. It's kind of like that film Infernal Affairs which was [the basis of]The Departed.
Playboy.com: What was your first Playboy?
Mann: I was in Hong Kong and my buddy got ahold of a Playboy magazine—and we were 10 years old. At that age you're looking at these images and you're shaking—your body doesn't know what's going on. We were hovering over it at the park—it's like Noah's Ark. We couldn't take it home so we decided to dig a hole in the park and cover it. It's probably still there.

Ore. man needs kidney, hits street; Bend man responds
Beaverton man stands on street corner with sign
BEND, Ore. - A Beaverton man in need of a kidney held up a sign on a street corner this week, asking for a donor. It's attracted lots of attention, even from a Bend man who said Thursday he's ready to donate and needs to find out if he's a match.
"If I'm a match, it's all his -- I'd be happy to give it to him," Lenny Leblo said.
When Leblo saw Earl Martinez's story on the news, he said he didn't have to think twice about wanting to help. Two years have gone by since the father of three girls put his name on the wait list, and still no kidney.
"I just knew that I needed to think outside the box," Martinez said. "I had to reach out to as many people as I could."
Even if Leblo is a match for Martinez, his doctor says there's only a 50/50 chance he'll be able to go through the process.
"I've got a rare disease, called Isaac Syndrome," Leblo said. "That's going to be with me for the rest of my life. I take a lot of meds, and I have seizures."
Officials from Pacific Northwest Transplant say while the support for Martinez is great, if every patient stood on a street corner with a sign, the system they built would fall apart.
They don't have enough people handling calls to take the influx of people who contact them following these types of situations.
"Certainly this is a creative, novel idea," director Mike Seely said. "The concern there is that it may not be the best way to go about it."
The average wait for an organ transplant in Oregon is two to three years. That's better than San Francisco, where Seely said people can wait up to eight years for a transplant.
As the list for organ needs keeps growing, health officials say the real story is the need for more living donations.
Leblo said he wants to start with giving away his kidney.
"If the guy could live longer, that would be great," Leblo said. "I'm going to be 48 years old here soon, and I've lived my life."
There are currently 450 people waiting for kidney transplants in Oregon.
Leblo has an appointment with his doctor. He has to go through several tests to find out if he's a match for Martinez.

Flat, occasionally flooded land next to a river is called a floodplain. A floodplain is a natural and beneficial part of a river system. It gives the river a place to temporarily expand. By combining complimentary uses, a floodplain allows humans and nature to interface without jeopardizing one another. Examples of positive floodplain stewardship between people and nature are recreational uses (golf course, parks, etc.)—these types of features provide people with open space without compromising a river's ability to sprawl over its natural course.
The floodplains that are designated on Flood Insurance Rate Maps as Special Flood Hazard Areas may or may not look like the description given above. More often than not, the Special Flood Hazard Areas do not contain any characteristics that appear different from the surrounding geography. This is because the Special Flood Hazard Areas are a statistical probability notion per FEMA's regulations. A line on a Flood Insurance Rate Map separating what is "in" the floodplain from what is "out" of the floodplain does not always correspond to a recognizable ground feature or vegetation zone. It really just serves as an approximate dividing line between areas that have different statistical probabilities of being flooded.
People who have lived through floods know that floods are not always statistically oriented. Thus, the dividing line on Flood Insurance Rate Maps between the Special Flood Hazard Areas and the rest of the region is an engineer's model of the watershed runoff characteristics, which determines how friction at areas such as bridges and culverts is going to affect the water level during a 100-year flood.

Ionic Wind Cooling Next Step in CPU/GPU Cooling

Kronos cooling run at 8.5kilo-volts to cool a device 25 degrees Celsius - Image courtesy TheFutureofThings.com
Kronos Advanced Technologies claims that's the way we're headed
Lately, heatsinks and traditional fans have become so large that they are beginning to be obstructive and are sometimes too heavy. This is an issue on the graphics processor front in many ways, as there isn't enough room for large heatsinks,
yet GPU thermal exceeds that of high-speed CPUs
A company called
Kronos Advanced Technologies
is working on a method of
removing heat from devices such as CPUs by using ionic discharge to
create a fluid motion of air. This technology has been around for a few years and is used in products such as ionic air filters, which have no moving parts but still move volumes of air and create quite a strong breeze. The same concept is being applied to micro processor cooling.
Despite the advancement however, the volume of air moved over the CPU core is still small because the core surface area is small. Heatsinks are used to increase surface area of the hot surface, so that when air is moved over the fins, more heat can transfer to the air. The Kronos' device will attempt to remove hot air away from the processor core directly without the need for heatsinks. With this method, the velocity of air being moved needs to be extremely fast in order to compensate for the lack of surface area -- and speed is something that ionic air "movers" lack.
Right now, Kronos is still working on prototypes, which it claims are scalable from very small micro coolers to large scale sizes. Power requirements also appear to be quite steep at this point in time. One of Kronos' demonstration shows a heated area being reduced from roughly 50C to 25C using an ionic cooler, but the power supply required around 8.5kV, or 8500 volts, to stay stable.

Maybe, but I would hate to say yes for sure. That's a tough one. If you put a hive body in only for a few minutes they will come out with a thicker coating, were as a ten minute bath is almost unnoticable. I would use tite bond 3 glue to seal up the joints and then dip the feeders. You can see in the videos I put the glue on heavy in the corners and actually paint the corners with a brush with the glue. I let them all dry for at least 3 days then dip the hive bodys. The tite bond 3 glue is the best glue you can buy. Do a search on the forum, a lot of people like it.
Good Luck Bruce

Thor has broken the sword Tyrfing so that it cannot strike at the roots of Yggdrasil, the tree that binds together earth, heaven, and hell. But now the mighty sword is needed again to save the elves in their war against the trolls, and only Skafloc, a human child kidnapped and raised by the elves, can hope to persuade Bölverk the ice-giant to make Tyrfing whole again. But Skafloc must also confront his shadow self, Valgard the changeling, who has taken his place in the world of men.
©1954 Poul Anderson (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
"A spirited homage to old myths"
In The Broken Sword, Poul Anderson mines the same Nordic/British myths and folklore that Tolkien did, and tells a rousing, tragic adventure. An infant is born to a Viking warrior and his Christianized family, but a proud and haughty elf lord takes the child and leaves a changeling in his place. Thus, Skafloc grows up among the elves and learns their ways, while the half-troll-half-elf Valgard is raised as human, but becomes a savage, unruly warrior.
The plot isn't too complex: the two warriors, who have a close physical resemblance, take opposite sides in a troll-elf war, and battle each other using magic, trickery, and might. However, a tragic twist comes into play, thanks to Skafloc's ignorance of his origins and some intervention by Norse gods.
This isn't up with The Lord of the Rings in terms of depth of world-building, but it's got a fiercer, darker spirit. Look for homage to all the traditional elements of Northern European myth: old gods who do not allow mortals to renege on a promise; aloof, immortal, fleet-footed elves, who dwell in ethereal castles and "know friendship but not love"; seductive maidens who aren't what they appear; and big, ferocious trolls (who call to mind the roided-out orcs in Peter Jackson's LOTR films). Though the description never gets too explicit (this novel was written in the 1950s), there's plenty of larger-than-life action, treachery, black magic, ale-quaffing, bawdiness, and skull splitting. The Hobbit, this isn't.
Fans of epic warrior sagas or the kind of blood-soaked faerie tales that are no longer considered suitable fare for children will eat this one up. Anderson's writing is faithful to the lusty descriptions of old epics like Beowulf, but not as dusty-sounding. You can practically hear the war horns blowing and the swords ringing. Audiobook narrator Bronson Pinchot might overact a bit here and there, but that's in keeping with the tale's energy.
Hi, I'm a cop, alumi of NYU and I'm also huge into MMA. I love books I read a lot and review the stand outs. I'll give you guys the goods.
I got this book because it was narrated by Bronson Pinchot and the plot sounded interesting. However, I had no Idea how great this book was going to be. It was originally released in the 1950's. However, there is no way you could tell, because the story and the setting are timeless. The narration was first rate Mr.Pinchot never disappoints and the story had me enthralled. If you like lord of the rings or fantasy in general you should pick this one up.
"Anderson's Best Work"
Poul Anderson has woven a rich tale from Norse myth. The style and pacing are excellent. Anderson has created a tragedy of Shakespearean proportion and knowing from the first page that it will all end badly, you are still swept away with the story and can't stop. Pinchot is truly one of the best readers and his style well matches the story. I had read the novel 20 years ago, but Pinchot's reading brought to the story new depths I had not realized.
I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"Unforgettable Dark Epic Fantasy Magic"
Listening to Poul Anderson???s The Broken Sword was a powerful experience. Anderson wove elements from Norse, Anglo-Saxon, and British mythology and legends, Viking history in England (when Christianity was inexorably spreading and converting heathen), Faerie (elves, trolls, and the like sharing the world of mortals but usually remaining just out of sight), and his own imagination to write a bleakly beautiful, horribly heroic, and bloodily tragic epic fantasy novel.
Because it was first published in 1954 and draws on similar sources, The Broken Sword is often compared with The Lord of the Rings, but it feels closer to The Silmarillion, for Anderson???s novel has a similarly deep sense of beauty, irony, fate, time, and tragedy (as well as similar manipulation of mortals by gods, incest, flawed ???heroes,??? mortals mixing with immortals, and the passing of a wondrous age). But although Anderson???s novel features epic language with Anglo-Saxon-esque alliteration and poetry, as well as archaic words (fey, ere, twain) and syntax (savage was the battle), it is a straight-forward, action-packed, and rawly human read. Anderson???s doppleganger heroes, the elf-raised Skafloc and the human-raised changeling Valgard, are prey to all-consuming valor, hatred, and love. The broken sword is a compelling artifact, evil, charismatic, powerful, and treacherous.
Bronson Pinchot gives a grand performance; from the disturbingly quiet elf-lord Imric to the ominously deep voiced troll king Illrede, all the characters come alive, full of their crafty manipulations and overwhelming passions. The vengeful witch negotiating with Satan for aid, Freda???s dead brother revealing that she and Skafloc are siblings, Valgard telling his elf-lord father Imric why he hates him prior to torturing him, Odin explaining to Freda what he wants from behind her girdle, in such scenes Anderson???s writing and Pinchot???s reading combine to make unforgettable dark epic fantasy magic.
"A very good story with a stellar performance"
The headline says it all, really. This comes from a different period in the genre than a lot of fans are probably used to, so it's less interested in setting up an epic twisty pot than it is in presenting sympathetic characters on all sides of its conflict. Depending on what you want from the genre, it might not be for you, but this is a very good book that falls just short of great. Pinchot's performance is beyond reproach here. He really gets the prose's rhythms and the emotion behind the story. It's probably one of the best readings I've ever heard.
"A epic saga!"
This is a real treat for audible listeners!
If you like greece mythology with all it's drama your are going to love this story.
It is a lovely fast-paced story with Gods, trolls, fairies, love, war and magic!
Bronson Pinchot does and FANTASTIC job narrating this story, I've never heard a narrator scream before <3 Bronson really makes a the characters and story come to life!
If you are having a hard time finding a good audible book, look no further. You just stumbled over a great story! And a great narrator!
"A novel with the power of a myth."
This is a great blending of gritty historical dark ages with elves and trolls, gods and giants. These aren't the elves from Tolkein, they are amoral, child-stealing immortals. And these are the
Imric, the Elf-earl, learning of the unbaptised child, racing home to make the Changeling.
Strong narration. Excellent tone to match the mythical tragic themes of the story.
In the last days of Faerie and the Old Gods, what is the price of True Love.
"Drenched in Doom"
First of all, this performance is absolutely brilliant. Pinchot really hits it out of the park and I plan too look up more of his recordings.
Second, some critics have called Poul Anderson called better than J.R. Tolkien and while I don't agree entirely, the comparison is well earned. Both authors draw from the same pool of Norse, Celtic, and Christian mythology, but Anderson takes it in a much darker direction. Overall, not one to be missed!
"Something lost in the translation?"
I'm not sure if I read the wrong review or what. But this book is boring me to death. It is like a dull retelling of an old english folk tale.
I put it down two books ago and haven't gone back.
Not I'm going to be able to ever finish it.
"A good Story"
Elves, humans, changelings and others all wrapped in malice and violence. One must hope for a hero if anything is to change.
"Poor performance"
Use a British English speaker rather then an American one.
I like Poul Anderson and have read very many of his books, so I was looking forward to this.
This is supposed to be an English faery tale. I could overlook the American accent of the narrator - just - but the moment he tried to imitate an English accent was like being hit with a bucket of icewater. Very, very poor.
Don't know - I had to give up after just one chapter.

After a festive season of overindulgence, it may be time to take a break.
Try these top 10 detox foods:
Lemons are a staple of many detox diets, and there is good reason for this. First, lemons are packed with the antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting disease-forming free-radicals.
Citrus fruit also has an alkaline effect on the body, meaning it can help restore the body's pH balance, benefiting the immune system.
Start your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your system.
If too much fatty food or alcohol has caused problems for your digestive system, add some ginger to your diet. Ginger is not only great for reducing nausea, but helps improve digestion, beat bloating and reduce gas.
Ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for boosting the immune system.
To give your digestion a helping hand, sip on ginger tea or add some freshly grated ginger to a fruit or vegetable juice.
Garlic is known for its heart benefits, and is good for detoxifying the body.
Garlic is not only antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic, but it contains a chemical called allicin, which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps fight toxins. Garlic is best eaten raw, so crush some into a salad dressing to boost its flavour and your health.
If you have overindulged recently, add steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals to help get your body back on track. Globe artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fibre and can also help the body digest fatty foods.
Globe artichokes are renowned for their wonderful ability to stimulate and improve the functions of the liver, which is the body's main toxin-fighting tool.
For those needing a quick health-boosting shot of nutrients, you can't do much better than beetroot. Packed with magnesium, iron and vitamin C, the vegetable has recently been hailed as a superfood.
It's great for skin, hair and cholesterol levels, and supports liver cleansing, making it an ultimate detox food. Add raw beetroot to salads or sip on beetroot juice.
Although not technically a food, no detox plan would be complete without liquids. Fluids keep our organs healthy and flush toxins from the body, and drinking green tea is a great way of boosting your intake. Green tea is not only a good weight-loss drink, but it is extremely high in antioxidants.
Research has also suggested that drinking green tea can protect the liver from diseases.
Many celebrities have resorted to the cabbage soup diet to help lose weight and get in shape quickly before a big event.
However, cabbage is not only good for weight loss - it is also an excellent detoxifying food. Like most cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli and sprouts), cabbage contains a chemical called sulforaphane, which helps the body remove toxins.
Cabbage also supplies the body with glutathione, an antioxidant that helps improve the detoxifying function of the liver.
Fresh fruits are high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre and are also low in calories, making them an important part of a detox diet. If you're after brighter eyes and skin, shinier hair and improved digestion, boost your fruit intake and eat from a wide variety of different kinds.
Fruit is easy to add to your diet - start your day with a fresh fruit salad or smoothie and snack on pieces of fruit throughout the day.
If you want to cleanse your system and boost your health, it's a good idea to cut down on processed foods. Instead, supplement your diet with healthier wholegrains such as brown rice, which is rich in many key detoxifying nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium, manganese and phosphorous. Brown rice is also high in fibre, which cleanses the colon, and rich in selenium, which protects the liver and improves the complexion.
Like most green herbs and vegetables, watercress is an excellent health-booster and detox food. First, watercress leaves are packed with many vital detoxifying nutrients, including several B vitamins, zinc, potassium, vitamin E and vitamin C. Secondly, watercress has natural diuretic properties, which can help flush toxins out of the body. To reap the benefits of this nutritious food, add a handful of watercress to salads, soups and sandwiches.

Should teachers be judged by statewide test scores?
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - Should a teacher's license in Tennessee be linked to how well their students do on statewide tests?
That's the opinion and a new rule by the Tennessee State Board of Education, but state representative Matthew Hill wants to reverse the board's decision.
The issue of evaluating the performance of teachers in the state of Tennessee is at the center of an issue involving whether a teacher's license should be revoked because of poor test scores or statistical data involving those scores. The Tennessee State Board of Education recently made a decision to issue a teacher's license based on a statistical estimate of student test scores called the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System.
"For an unelected body like the State Board of Education to put that kind of fear in our teachers, to say, 'We're going to use statistical estimates to determine whether or not you get to continue to have an education career in this state,' I just felt is wrong," Hill told us.
He's not alone -- the Tennessee Education Association that represents teachers also thinks it's wrong. "The Tennessee Education Association doesn't think [it's fair]," said TEA representative Athena Warren. "A lot of people in education don't feel that it's fair."
When the legislature convenes next week, Hill says he will introduce a bill that would change that. "My legislation is proposed to reverse that decision and to put into code that you can't use a statistical estimate to determine a teacher's license. Not an evaluation when it comes to hiring and firing but their license," he said.
"We don't have a problem being evaluated at all," Warren said. "We just don't want things that are out of our control like the TVASS to be a part of our evaluation."
The Tennessee Education Association will hold an open meeting on this subject at Sullivan Central High School on January 27.

Community members don't agree with all ideas proposed by city, police chief to curb crime
Curfew law, more police officers and downtown task force among some of those ideas
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Columbia city manager, city council and police chief held a news conference Wednesday to address crime in Columbia and talk about new initiatives to curb crime.
Police Chief Ken Burton said he plans to have a written proposal to the City Council in 30 days outlining a curfew law for Columbia.
But not all council members agreed with the curfew idea.
Dan Roberts, director of the Columbia Police Officers Association, said a curfew won't work.
"The suggestion of a curfew is an interesting suggestion," Roberts told ABC 17 News. "I think it means if it happened, it couldn't happen until September or October, and as they all seem to agree, summer seems to be the prime time for some of this activity."
All council members and Burton agreed they needed to make room in the budget to hire more police officers to patrol the downtown area.
Dale Roberts said more overtime for the current officers is not going to work in the long run.
"The public is dealing with officers who have been working, you know, 14, 16 hours," Roberts said. "A person who has been on duty for 12 hours or longer is working in something of a diminished capacity."
Councilwoman Laura Nauser proposed creating a downtown task force that would focus on preventing crime and dealing with the growing local gang problem.
One resident told ABC 17 News he agreed with this idea, but that it should be formed by people from all over Columbia, not just those in the downtown area.
"This task force should be a city, county as a whole task force together," James Gray said.

No experience personally with either of those two, but if you are not a heavy user and not need a 'family' plan I suggest you check into pre-paid plans. I use my phone rather infreq. and text one or two times a month. My annual bill is about $100 total.
Coverage on many is the same as AT&T or Verizon as several of them just buy access to these networks. Virgin and Boost use the Sprint network.
Check the coverage maps too, and ask a friend local to you how they think the service is too before making the jump. Check out a new one, Ting, as they let you select each option for voice/text/web seperately and basically fine-tune your plan to suit your usage. I've been considering AirVoice too, they have some ultra low rate plans, and get pretty great reviews. YMMV.

The famously adventurous American Repertory Theatre is soon to be taken over by a woman who spent her summer directing . . . the vintage Broadway hits Kiss Me, Kate and Hair? Meanwhile, across the river, the reins of the relatively staid Huntington Theatre Company are in the hands of a guy whose first directing job was with a guerrilla troupe occupying a squat in Prague — an abandoned Salvation Army Center that he and a band of burglarizing thespians broke into and turned into a theater? In light of these facts, the change in artistic directorship at the area's largest regional theaters sounds less like a changing of the guard than an episode of Trading Spaces.
But there is more to Hair helmer Diane Paulus and lock-picker Peter DuBois than the biographical data above. The 42-year-old Paulus, who begins her tenure at ART in October, is a Harvard grad with directing credits as diverse as opera and The Donkey Show, the latter a '70s-disco riff on A Midsummer Night's Dream that ran for six years off-Broadway. DuBois, 38, comes to the Huntington from New York's Public Theater, where he was first an associate producer and then a resident director. Before that, he was for five years artistic director of Alaska's Perseverance Theatre, a midsize regional company that during his tenure grew to be the state's largest-arts-producing organization. Both of these hires represent an infusion not just of new blood but of still-pulsing hormones: Paulus replaces a 60 year old who five years earlier supplanted a 75 year old. DuBois takes over from a 70 year old. In an age of graying theater audiences, this is a good thing.
DuBois joined the Huntington this past December as artistic director elect and replaced outgoing honcho Nicholas Martin full-time in July. His stint as AD-in-waiting was, as he characterizes it, "fast and furious," with the planning of his first season interspersed with freelance directing gigs that included Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw for Actors Theatre of Louisville's Humana Festival of New American Plays and a restructured version of Sam Shepard's The Curse of the Starving Class for San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Paulus, who succeeds the abruptly departed Robert Woodruff, will not put her imprimatur on a season until 2009–'10. As she sets about hatching it, she fulfills commitments to direct Mozart's La clemenza di Tito for Chicago Opera Theater and Death and the Powers — with music by MIT's Tod Machover, libretto by BU's Robert Pinsky, and story by her writer-husband, Randy Weiner — at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo. Now both Paulus and DuBois will be turning in their passports to put down roots in Boston.
Downtown girl
Though they'll soon be dueling for Boston's greasepaint dollars, DuBois and Paulus were colleagues in New York: among his duties at the Public was to sign her for the 2007 concert staging of Hair that this summer morphed into an acclaimed and wildly popular production of "America's Tribal Love-Rock Musical" at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. And Hair, says the Public's artistic director, Oskar Eustis, "is kind of a model of what's special about Diane. She is something rare: a genuine experimentalist, a real downtown girl, who is also a populist."

Just wanted to say hi to everybody
After reading in the forums almost every day for quite some time now, I thought it is finally more then time to actually get registered :) .
I'm really impressed by the helpfullness of the members here and wanted to say thank you for providing such a great and informative forum.
I am pretty much new to the it-security arena, having a strong interest in web application and network security. So, at the moment I am trying to improve my skills in TCP/IP, networking, programming, Backtrack & tools, setting up a virtual lab to play with … and so on … with the hope to land a job in pentesting or something related after I have finished my masters in information systems (unfortunatly in the master we don't learn much about it-security). Any guidance or tipps on how you guys landed a job in it-security is more then welcome.
Due to what I have read here I also decided to sign up for the eCPPT at elearnsecurity.de (student+pro) shortly to set a solid basis to build upon. I am really looking forward to this hands on experience. After the eCPPT the next hurdle will be the OSCP. But well, first things first… or how one says: "learn to walk before you run" ;)…
I am looking forward to read more from you guys, share ideas and learn from each other in the future.
p.s. I wasn't sure in which forum I can post this, because there is no "newbie post here " forum. Because I am interested in pentesting I have posted here. So don, in case I posted in the wrong forum (maybe forum:other ??? ), I am sorry - feel free to move this post to the right location.

"As the Giants roster starts to come into shape, so does their offseason schedule. Coach Tom Coughlin will have his players available for their nine-week offseason program beginning April 21.
Until that time, Coughlin and new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo aren't allowed to contact players (even quarterback Eli Manning) as they build their new offense. Manning will be allowed to finally provide input later this month.
There are strict rules to the NFL's offseason program that have been collectively bargained. April 21 is the first day the Giants are allowed to begin work as a team. Only teams with new head coaches can begin earlier. They are allowed two extra weeks of work.
The NFL offseason program is a conducted in three phases.
Phase 1: Strength and Conditioning -- Two weeks of strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase 2: On-Field Workouts -- Three weeks of workouts that include individual player instruction and drills. Team practice conducted on a "separates" basis. Teams can practice as an offense and defensive group or by position, but no live contact or offense vs. defense team drills.
Phase 3: Organized Team Activities (OTAs) -- Four-week period that allows 10 days of OTA practices. No live contact, but teams can run 7-on7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills. Teams are also allowed to hold their one mandatory veteran minicamp during this period.
April 21 -- Beginning of offseason program
April 22 -- Players made available to media for first time of season
May 1 -- General manager Jerry Reese pre-draft press conference
May 8-10 -- NFL Draft
May 12 -- Rookie development program may begin (Giants exact schedule TBD)

Prineville girl, 11, shows true giving spirit
First gatheeds gift boxes for foreign kids -- now for C.O., too
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Prineville 11-year-old Mariah Cannon has made 136 gift boxes for the Operation Christmas Child program. Those boxes will go to kids all over the world, but she didn't stop there. Now she's making 150 to 200 boxes for kids right here in Central Oregon.
Mariah and her family have always been willing to help those in need. They worked through their church last year to make 12 gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
This year, Mariah went the extra mile and compiled 136 boxes to help kids who otherwise might not have gifts this holiday season.
"I imagined what it would be like to be one of those kids who didn't have much, and I didn't like the thought," Mariah said Monday. "So I figured if there's a way that I could help them, then I would."
It's that selflessness that has her mother and community impressed.
"Her heart is in the right place," Kerry Cannon said. "Her heart is for helping others and sharing the Lord with others."
Recently, Mariah put on a silent auction at the Eastside Foursquare Church in Prineville to collect money to ship the boxes; she raised more than $1600.
Mariah is the oldest of three kids, and her mom says it puts her at ease, knowing her two younger kids have someone to look up to.
"It's amazing. I think she's a really great role model," Kerry Cannon said, "She's showing them how to care and love for others and not just be on their self-interest, and we're really proud of her."
In the past few months, word about Mariah's good-heartedness is spreading through town. She's now gone so far as to start her own organization; the "Big Heart Foundation" for distributing the gift boxes to Central Oregon kids.
At 11 years old, Mariah is just getting started.
"I want to go on short-term missions to Uganda at an orphanage that's called Otino Waa," Mariah said.
Mariah's foundation will be at Old Navy in Bend gathering donations Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m.

There's just not enough art to festoon all the walls in all the coffee/sandwich/burrito/gelato/bagel/pizza/frogurt shops in this great art-loving, snack-loving city of ours. I'm not even going to get into the woefully empty walls of tanning salons; I mean, damn, I need something to look at while waiting for my bronzing bed. Preferably, something in velvet with a dolphin. A velvet dolphin, you say? Hey, you have artistic potential!
Now, some people say we need more doctors, more teachers, more engineers. Fools. Those people can't bring us better healthcare, literacy, or bridges. Artists can! Just think of all the human glories that art has brought into the world. Everyone knows Picasso's Guernica ended fascism, and DaVinci's Mona Lisa invented the smirk, which has become invaluable in the field of diplomacy. But few know that space travel was pioneered by Giotto's buoyant angels, and relativity was discovered by Cezanne's slightly curved horizon line. I've also been told that video games first appeared in Winslow Homer's pocket sketches. Clearly, with enough artists we can figure out how to efficiently desalinate the oceans and restock them with rainbow trout.
So, considering our enviable lineage of visual artists — from the performance artists, Sacco and Vanzetti, to the sculptor, Jeffrey Dahmer — our MFA factories are simply not churning out enough art-makers to satisfy our increasingly lusting eyes. That's why you, the amateur, yes you, must step to the plate, or canvas, or plate if you want, make your mark, and nail it to a wall somewhere. Imagine the progress this country would make if the 5 million people currently collecting unemployment said, "To hell with assembly lines, I think I'll be an artist!"
The best part is that it's easy to be an artist. In fact, you don't have to go to school at all — just hang out on Congress Street. If you're there right now, I would suggest jumping in front of a car. If you survive, you'll get more solo shows out of pity. If you die, people will want to invest in your portfolio. It's win/win, baby! Next, work on your look by getting some tattoos — oops, I mean "body art." If you're afraid of needles, skip the tattoos and go to the hair salon for an Andy Warhol. If you're afraid of Andy Warhol, you're already an artist!
These days you don't have to buy expensive art supplies either. Sure, art professors disagree, but that's because they own stock in art supply stores. A trip to any thrift store will supply you with enough material to be a fiber artist for two lifetimes. Some very established artists (and several super-smart monkeys) are even using feces to make art, and everyone has some of that! Lots of artists make art out of found stuff. They call it "found objects," but don't let that confuse you. Just look for stuff that's big enough to see and small enough to carry. Also, the more beat up the stuff is, the better. It's called "weathering," but don't confuse that with mud season, especially if you're working with feces.
All in all, if God didn't want us to fill up our walls with art then why does the Pope do it? He's got art all over his house, and some of it is even in velvet!
