Rigby Junior High students fight bullying
RIGBY, Idaho - Students at Rigby Junior High made a challenge to each other as part of challenge day. Challenge day is a program fighting stereotypes, bullying and encouraging tolerance in schools. As part of the day, students were required to apologize to one another.
"Jess ever since sixth grade I've bullied you. I'm sorry," said student Chelsea Moore.
More than three hundred 8th graders are fighting stereotypes and bullying by treating others the way they want to be treated. Interactive activities teach students how to increase self-esteem, shift peer pressure to peer support and lower the chances of teasing and violence.
"It felt kind of great just to have peace with them now, now we're finally going to be friends again and it's going to feel really nice to finally have one more friend to have my back,"said Moore.
The event was organized by two English teachers trying to change the schools image after an incident with a student who allegedly intended to hurt other classmates.
"We love our students and we're very proud of our schools because we think our students have the capability to step up and do more," said Jessica Saville and Whitney Rucklos.
The 8th graders are the only ones participating right now, but Saville hopes every grade will soon be involved.
"We can't always be there to say hey you're not supposed to bully, so if we could bring something to help the students understand it better than I think we will have a better environment for students," she said. Challenge day continues in Rigby through Wednesday.

Backtrack Quiz
i have 3 different questions about backtrack and i hope specialists here can help me, first of all i want to say thank you so much to those people who helped me in previous topic.
1- As you know backtrack releases the r2 version of backtrack 5 and i wanna download it but i dont know what to choose between the KDE version or gnome version i wanna use it for wireless pentest and for metasploit.
2- Backtrack has a program named wine which can run windows programs in linux firstly i wanna know can we use a program like this in ubuntu? second if that wine can run windows programs, properly it can run windows malwares too, so is any AV needed for that?
3- i know linux based OS like Backtrack or blackbuntu are amazing for pentest. but as you know, there are many good pentest tools on the internet which is designed for windows. i wanna know your opinion about creating a windows based OS for Pentest u think is it a good project for research?
ok i know my quiz includes many different issues. but i really need to know them specially question 1 and 3.
Thank you sooooooooooo much

East Coast Rider Seeking Advice on New Deck
Hey guys - first time poster :)
After 3 seasons on my Custom X 152, I've decided it's time for a new deck.
I really enjoyed the X - I love it's stability while I bomb down steeps and it's ability to hold an edge even on ice. What I didn't like was the size - 152 is the smallest the X comes in, and I weigh 125 pounds. The size is fine when I'm bombing down groomers, but as I've started doing more glades and moguls/bumps, I've found that the length and relative "heaviness" of the board makes it hard for me to control and initiate sharp turns when I need to. If the X came in a 149, I think it would be the perfect board for me.
Having said that, I don't know much about brands other than Burton (I'm ashamed to admit I've ridden Burton my whole life), but I'm willing to experiment and I'd love to try something new.
About me:
-Live in Toronto - mostly ride in Quebec, Vermont, Ontario + one trip a year out west
-Conditions I typically ride in are mostly groomers, some ice, occasional powder
-Riding style - mostly bombing down steeps, cutting through glades, hitting kickers/cliffs, occasional moguls, NO PARK
-Weight - 125, height - 5'3
-Bootsize - 7
-Experience - 8 seasons, can confidently ride the entire mountain (except park)
-Current setup: Custom X 152, Cartels, Ions
What are some decks out there that are available in my size range (147-149) that you guys recommend?
A couple decks have caught my eye - these all seem to be good for charging hard, but also retain some playfulness:
-Lib-Tech TRS (available in 148N which I think is the perfect size)
-Rome Agent (available in 149 - comes in camber as well, I've heard this is a good Custom X-like board)
-GNU Rider's Choice (very popular and acclaimed, but seems a bit more geared for park - smallest size is 151.5 which is a bit long)
-K2 Berzerker (155 is smallest...)
I think the Libtech TRS and Rome Agent would be great for my needs, especially given the size issue. Any of you have experience with these?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate all the advice.

There's the Signal Omni 150. I think the NS SL comes in 151...
For an all mountain deck you should be able to comfortably go up to 150 or 151, especially if its rocker as they're easier to manuever.
More to come when I have more time.
Libs aren't light, so if its bigger than you were looking for it will really feel too big. Berzerker was my second thought, but yeah 55 might be a bit much.
It's been a few years since I've been on a TRS, but it has been in the past the only thing from the whole of Mervin I didnt hate, aside from magne which I'll always hate.
Any experience with the Rome Agent?
Libs are little heavier but i don't think its to a point where people really notice it after run or two.
Either way TRS is not going to be as stiff as custom x. TRS compares more to regular custom not custom x.
Boards you've mentioned are good all mountain boards. I don't know if they are a good charging board.
Are you looking for something more of a freestyle board? Look for something damp like never summer.
from my past experience damp boards are best for charging. None of the board you mentioned is going to be better than custom x for charging especially if you size down. Try never summer SL or Premier f1, I dont think they are as stable as custom x but dampness may make up for it
And because it's little softer and becasue of the rocker it will be easier to right thru tight spot
8 Attachment(s)
Possibly a K2 Lifelike 149.
I have no idea if it rides well or what board its based on, but the Yes TDF exists in the sizes you're looking for. If it's based on the G_oH or Basic then I'd probably ignore, but hey if you can't find anything else you like, maybe you'll like it.

Thanks for all the fabulous feedback. You guys have given me a lot to chew on.
I've narrowed it down to:
1) Lib-Tech TRS 148 Narrow
2) Signal Omni 150 (never heard of this company, but the reviews are great)
3) Never Summer SL 151 (everyone on most forums I read seem to love this company)
I think I'm leaning towards the TRS only because the description sounds like's specifically made for my kind of riding style, and because it's the shortest board + narrow design which is good for my size 7 boot - although I'm a tad concerned about the heaviness factor mentioned above.
The Signal Omni and NS SL sound like very capable boards (especially the NS), but from reading the description these sound like they are designed more to be all-mountain/park hybrids as opposed to something designed more specifically for my purposes like the TRS.
The NS SL specifically seems like its gears more for freestyle than freeride (SL | Never Summer Industries - Snowboards, Longboards, Clothing and Accessories - Powered by CLVR TV), which concerns me because I spend zero time in the park. Additionally, 151 is only 1cm shorter than my current 152 Custom X... I really wanted something less than 150 that would enable me to nail sharp turns and swing the board around quicker in the glades and moguls.
Would you guys agree with my assessment? Let me know if you have any other suggestions for decks!
8 Attachment(s)
The TRS isn't any more mountain oriented than the Omni or SL.
So which would you go with if you were in my boots?
What you have picked are all good boards. SL is little more freeride than freestyle but can be used for either. I think its more freeride board than what neversummer describes. I think it is little damper than trs but other than that very close to TRS. If you want a board you can nail a quick tight turn you want something that is softer torsionally (compared to your custom x). its not just not matter of length. having said that both trs and sl has softer torsional flex than custom x. Have you tried MTX? Some likes them some dont. I like them on ice but dont like them in softer packed condtion. It digs in too much for me on softer snow and spring condition snow. I would go with TRS if you are planning on keeping custom x and if you like the graphics.

It is not intuitive that a team would play better without one of its best players. Maybe in the short run, but over a long stretch of time it just isn't supposed to work that way. So, it is somewhat curious that the Celtics [1] have assembled an enviable record without Kevin Garnett [2] in the lineup over the last year and a half.
Last year the Celtics went 9-2 without Garnett. This season, due to suspension, illness and injury, the Celtics were a perfect 5-0 without KG before they spent most of the last night's game with the Clippers like they had been out in L.A. Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night with Tom Waits. Fittingly, it ended on a turnover, one of 20 for the Celtics.
In all it was a bad night for the Celtics who lost a perfectly winnable game when they uncharacteristically blew their cool down the stretch. Paul Pierce [3] picked up a technical after he had a little shove for Mardy Collins following a hard foul and Rajon Rondo [4] failed to gain control of the game. A bad call on the timeout after Rondo missed a free throw? Sure, but they never should have been in that position in the first place.
Last night aside, how have the Celtics managed without KG? Oddly enough, while Garnett may be one of the most unique talents in the league, the Celtics are constructed in a way that covers for his absence. If they were without the services of Paul Pierce or Ray Allen [5] for an extended period of time that would be a different story. The bench is weak in swing men, and is even weaker since the injury absence to Tony Allen [6]. All of which makes the dislocated thumb Pierce suffered against the Clippers potentially a very big deal.
But behind Garnett the Celtics have the productive Leon Powe [7]. Per 36 minutes, Powe averages almost 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, numbers that compare, if not favorably, than at least are in line with Garnett's production. But Powe wasn't the first man to replace Garnett.
The first was Brian Scalabrine [8] who turned in a 14-point effort against Phoenix, which combined with a career game by Rondo (32 points, 10 assists and six rebounds) and superior efforts by Pierce and Allen gave the C's more than enough offensive firepower.
When Scalabrine went out early against Denver, Powe responded with 16 points and five rebounds in 29 minutes. Additionally, Big Baby Davis put together his best stretch of games in a month, so Garnett's absence was compensated for on the offensive end.
Defensively is where the Celtics miss Garnett the most–and they certainly did against Zach Randolph [9] who ate them up inside–but in one of the more under-appreciated stories this year, the Celtics have become a rebounding machine.
They are the best rebounding team in the league by Rebound Rate (essentially the percentage of available rebounds a team gets), which is a far more reliable indicator than total rebounds. The Celtics were +8 against both Phoenix and Denver and effective rebounding can make any team look better on D. But against the Clippers, while they had a 41-39 edge on the boards, LA was the more efficient rebounding team and won the battle inside.
The key in replacing star players isn't always who takes their spot in the starting lineup, it's sometimes who covers for the backup who suddenly finds himself a starter. With Scal, the Celtics have the perfect utility player for those occasions, which is why he usually gets the call to replace Garnett or Kendrick Perkins [10], as it keeps the bench more or less intact and within their usual roles.
Without Scalabrine, who got whacked in the head against the Nuggets things get trickier. He missed last night's game, and won't play Friday either, and his absence was a major concern when Powe, Perkins and Davis all had foul trouble.
But still, the Celtics are in decent shape to ride out Garnett's injury. The schedule isn't terribly rough when they come back from the West Coast, with games against Indiana, a struggling Detroit team and the Nets [11]. Cleveland comes to town next Friday and Orlando follows and you know Garnett will be angling to return for those games. Even with the loss last night that decision should have everything to do with his health, as it should be.
Quick thoughts on Mikki Moore [12]
Mikki Moore has a career that defines the term "journeyman." In 11 NBA seasons he has had 10 jobs with eight different teams (two stints apiece with New jersey and Boston). In those 11 seasons he has played over 2,000 minutes twice and over 1,000 minutes four times.
After a career year in New Jersey, playing alongside Jason Kidd [13], he had an unsatisfying year and half run with the Kings. Moore is tall, athletic and runs the floor well (he is also said to be one of the all-time good guys in the league, as well). He gives the Celtics length and experience, two qualities that are in short supply on the bench.
What he is not is P.J. Brown redux. Moore doesn't have that consistent 15-foot jump shot that and he is not nearly the defender that Brown was. That said, Moore represented the best value at the time. There was/and is a lot of talk about Joe Smith, but there were two things conspiring against the Celtics.
The first is that Smith is not available (at least not yet). Since the trade to New Orleans was rescinded, the Thunder have held on to the veteran forward. If he was to become available, a handful of teams, notably Cleveland where Smith played last season, have more of their mid-level exception to offer. In other words, there was no guarantee that Smith would, or even could, come to Boston. A real Mikki Moore is worth more than the thought of Joe Smith.

You know, I use these lights all times of year and I don't celebrate Christmas - why aren't they just "lights"?

When did it become politically incorrect to celebrate Christmas? Sheesh.
If I don't celebrate Halloween, can I thow a hissy fit to make everyone start calling the decorations "Fall Holiday" Lights?

Christmas is a magical part of my childhood, my children's childhood, and I hope my grandchildren's childhood; no one has the right to rob a whole country of our traditions!
We worry so much about everyone else's culture that we have risked sacrificing our own!
My family will be dressed in Christmas attire as we watch the traditional lighting of the Christmas tree. At the Christmas parade I will wish everyone I see a sincere Merry Christmas, and I will accept with the spirit intended anyone else's greeting of the Christmas season.

Ok MainStreetDiva,
I do have a serious question for you - why would you wish someone a "merry Christmas" who doesn't celebrate Christmas?
Seriously - the greeting just doesn't make sense. Unless you really don't think there are any people in Pleasanton who don't celebrate Christmas.
How is being more inclusive POSSIBLE robbing you of your traditions???
Am I barring you from going to church?
Preventing you from having a Christmas tree in your home?
What is so threatening about being more inclusive?

The above posts signed "Cholo" are not mine.
I have never celebrated Christmas but I've always had neighbors that do. It's OK with me. I'm not Christian but if you wanna have fun, then have fun.
Many friends have wished me a Merry Christmas over the years and I'm not offended. I don't especially appreciate all the fuss about Christmas and the craziness over gifts.
I also don't appreciate all the drinking because it usually results in the deaths of thousands of innocent people.
Often, the Christmas decorations seem unnecessary.
It's really none of my business. Enjoy the season.

If anyone wishes me a Happy Hanukkah or Happy Winter Solstice I will happily accept the greeting of good wishes and they should do the same if I wish them a Merry Christmas.
Yes, the Christmas holiday is an important cultural celebration, I won't think less of you if you don't celebrate with us, but don't try to take it away from those of us that do.
Thank you Cholo for your reasonable comments, I don't like the gift part much either.
a resident of Foothill Place
on Oct 15, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Thanks for your response but you didn't answer my question.
I'll rephrase: Isn't the purpose of wishing someone a "merry Christmas" to hope they have a MERRY CHRISTMAS? Then why would you wish it to someone who you knew didn't celebrate Christmas? Or do you not know anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas?:
And how exactly is anyone taking Christmas away from you?
I never get an answer to either of those questions - just more hyperbole...I doubt I'll get an answer this time either...

Many citizens celebrate cultural holidays that I don't celebrate. If they say "Happy(you pick a holiday)" to me, I simply, cheerfully, say "Thank you" and move on. Try it, it isn't hard...
Why not be grateful they included you in their holiday spirit. I always assume it's done in the spirit of friendship...

Mary, I couldn't agree more. I am not religious, but Christmas is a huge part of my CULTURE. And they called them "Christmas Lights" because that's what they are - they are being put on a TREE....for CHRISTMAS.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Pwn Toney, Apr 21, 2007.
Man, these two game have been like music to my eyes.
Man, you're not kidding. He can't do anything right. Fortunately for the Bulls, Antoine obliged by throwing up a couple of ridiculous bricks while Duhon was on the floor.
And now Antoine drains a 3 at the buzzer...Bulls still up 14 going into the 4th.
Boy did Walker travel on that 3 or what? ...sad part is...CHI won't be allowed to even look in Wade's direction in MIA the next two games.
Maybe not, but I think the officiating has been OK for the Bulls tonight. Way fewer fouls called on both teams, which helps Chicago because it lets them keep the pace going.
LOL at TNT turning off their arena mic after the third round of "Posey sucks" chants.
Bulls struggled badly against that small Heat lineup, but it looks like they've weathered the storm now.
Hilarious...I've always been a big fan of the B***S***! chant. The networks can't control it and they always just try to ignore it like it's not happening.
Chicago is very impressive. Lights out shooting (seems to happen a lot with them), and scrappy defense.
Deng doesn't miss inside of 20 feet. Between him and Gordon, Miami's perimeter defense just isn't good enough to win this series with Wade and/or Williams having to be on the floor. And a fantastic game from Ben tonight, even with only 6 rebounds.
Low has officially left the Pistons for the Bulls. This team is a lot like the hungry young team we had in 2001-2004.
I didn't realize Posey was such dirty player until I saw those highlights of him leveling three bulls players. No wonder the Posey sucks chants The Bulls are quicker than the "old" Heat and will probably take one of those down in south beach I thinking that I would rather see the Pistons face the Bulls here and take our chances that we can contain either Gordon or Deng or they have at least 4 bad shooting nights. I think if Heat comeback and win this series, it will give them more confidence and Stern would want that King James/Wade/Shaq> EC Finals. The Pistons have already over come questionable officiating in the Magic series so far, but we haven't seen anything yet if the Pistons play the Heat
We'll see what happens in Miami, but the Bulls have been able to win two different types of games here, one foul-filled slugfest and one sloppy but fast-paced shootout. I doubt that Gordon will be this hot every game, but it looks like the Heat have no answers for Deng, and the Bulls D has clamped down when they needed it. The Heat have been in this position before, of course, and managed to get out of it, but this looks like it'll be a pretty steep climb for them. Still, it's a whole new series if the Heat win both at home, so let's not write them off just yet.
Man, I'm lovin every minute of this series so far.
Wow, if Chicago keeps playing like this and can steal one on the road in Miami can we beat these guys. I believe we can but the better question is can we muster up the energy to keep up with this team. Be afraid, be very afraid. I really hope we are watching these games so we can get the %%%% scared out of us. If we can defend homecourt we'll be ok but if we dont we may be out in 6.
I wouldn't quite say that, but I'm very happy with the way this is going.
Get ready for Chicago. I wanted Chicago more than Miami but now not so sure. The Heat are a shell of themselves with Wade at no more than 75%. It is not that Chicago is hot. Miami can't stay with them in the open floor or for the entire shot clock. I told a friend after game 1 that if the Bulls got the same looks in game 2, lights out. They know they can get the looks so they are shooting in a zone. This reminds me of when we beat the Lakers for the title. Remember Larry saying "Guys, we can get any shot we want", during game 1. Nothing changed in that series. Anything can happen but how do you adjusts for a key injury to your star and lack of team speed?
Well, I don't know....I have a feeling this series isn't over just yet. But it's true that Wade isn't going to get back to 100% in the next few days, and the Bulls did show a lot of poise in both games.
Bring on the Bulls. Wow, that would be one heck of a series. Flip would have to go 9 or 10 deep. Skiles would make sure they run the Pistons ragged. C-Webb and Sheed would be fatigued by the second quarter. One thing is certain, the jumpers would not be falling each and every game, however the Bulls quickness, and agressive offense (attacking the basket) will be a nightmare for the slow of foot Pistons. Our only hope would be to get Deng, Nocioni, Gordon and Heinrich to play some defense and get into foul trouble.
I disagree. Going 1-on-1 against those defenders and Skiles's rotations would just lead to bad shots and turnovers, which fuel the Bulls fastbreak. The weak point in their defense is Ben Wallace's weak man defense and PJ Brown's lack of mobility – slow the game to a crawl and ram a steady diet of postups and pick-and-rolls down their throat until they're forced to go zone and then open up the perimeter game. And God help the Pistons' halfcourt defense. Maybe Lindsey can loan Chauncey and Tayshaun some diet pills…

With its huge metal gates and barbed-wire fences to keep out over-enthusiastic merrymakers from the neighbouring nightclub, I almost feel like I'm visiting the secret base of a James Bond villain when I enter Antony Gormley's vast King's Cross headquarters in London.
Walking through the yard, I'm greeted by the familiar sight of one of his stark cast-iron figures that have famously cropped up everywhere from Liverpool's Crosby Beach to London's South Bank Centre.
Renowned for his provocative public sculptures, the 62-year-old has won over sceptical hearts with the majestic Angel of the North in Gateshead and courted controversy with 2009's One & Other, which invited 2400 members of the public to become living art installations on Trafalgar Square's usually vacant Fourth Plinth.
But he has also dabbled in more intimate environments, designing sets for several dance productions, including Babel, which is one of the highlights of the Auckland Arts Festival in March.
"I've been invited to work with opera and theatre in the past, but they're both less interesting to me than dance," he says. "I have a very high regard for the art of dance, as it's the purest form of art there is. It's like life using its own primary vehicle - the body - to express itself."
First staged in 2010, Babel marks Gormley's third collaboration with choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, from Belgian dance troupe Eastman VZW, after 2005's Zero Degrees and 2008's Sutra.
"I just find Larbi remarkably open-minded and one of the most vital people I've ever met," he says. "He's extremely instinctive and open to new experience. But it isn't as if he wants to possess it; he wants it to inspire him to extend his own experience of being in the body.
"When you see him in relation to kung fu - as we were with Sutra - he wanted to absorb not just all the moves but the whole ethos of what life was like in the monasteries, and their spiritual and intellectual focus."
Taking its name from the biblical Tower of Babel, the show is an exploration of the nature of words, performed by a group of multi-cultural, bi-lingual dancers. "Larbi wasn't simply interested in taking it as a metaphor for human dystopia, which would have been an easy way out of making a piece about dysfunction," says Gormley.
"He took the subject seriously and thought about how language works, not just from a neurological point of view, but also from an absolutely contemporary political standpoint, which is that language itself has become a territory. If you control that - particularly English as the dominant international language - you have an immediate advantage over others."
Although he wasn't as deeply involved in its early development as he was with Zero Degrees and Sutra, Babel is perhaps Gormley's most acclaimed theatrical venture to date - he won the Outstanding Achievement in Dance prize for his set design at the 2011 Laurence Olivier Awards.
Composed of five 3D frames, it had to fit London's prestigious Sadler's Wells and will be adapted for its season at the Civic in Auckland. "It has to be adaptable and I solved that by making it very minimal and rudimentary," he says.
"The critical thing was, 'how do these frames relate to each other?' So we had to find something that would work structurally, in that they had to fit inside each other. With all the productions I've done with Larbi, there's been a lot of playing around with the dancers and the objects and maybe also some modification of the objects as a result. That was true with Babel as well.
"There were certain structural weaknesses that needed to be addressed because of the amount of stress put upon the frames - the fact they are swung around on and climbed on - so they have to be practical objects that can be transported and disassembled and reassembled."
Along with the performers' individual interactions with his work, Gormley enjoys the various reactions of audiences. "The sine qua non - the essential condition - of all art, but particularly dance, is that you have to be there with the dancers," he says. "It's like if you're watching a football match, your sympathetic synapses are activated as you watch the striker as he strikes, or if somebody on the wing is really going for it. It's like you're there with them.
"With Babel ... [Larbi] keeps you on the edge of your seat because of the high level of risk he's prepared to take."

Music has a particular way of getting into every nerve ending and fiber of our bodies, doesn't it? If you are a fan of music in general, and can find the beauty and poetry in harmony and chords, then there are certain albums from time to time that really twang those nerve endings. They tend to float your brain pieces away as if on a ghost barge in a really hip ocean. Such is the case with the eponymous debut LP from Wildlife Control.
Wildlife Control is an album that feels how it was recorded. Recorded between sessions in San Francisco and Brooklyn, brothers Neil and Sumul Shah wanted to be sure they included every baritone saxophone, harmonium, tabla, and viola, piano, and guitar no matter where they were located. Collaborators from both coasts added to the sound, a sound that is certainly definitive and unique, yet carries qualities of sound from California and New York.
There is a particular hipness to the album that I find hard to explain. From the first track "Brooklyn" through the end of the last song "People Change" there is this fuzzy, bouncing line that carries each track through the next, never leaving the front of your consciousness. There is synth pop with a jazz undertone blanketed by a tiny bit of hook laden pop rock which is quickly subdued by say, a piano solo such as on the track "Disguise."
Yet, the shifting genres seem to meld in cosmic confluence, taking the listener on a 40-minute walk through the park. You can tell, when considering all the tracks and the relationship with their music that the brothers appear to have, that they left no creative avenue unconsidered — they may not have used every one of those creative thoughts, but they considered them. What you are left with is both a complex and minimalist collection of songs that will pique your sense of hearing.

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED
Further readings for the Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
In part 2 of our review of the best lenses for the Nikon D3400, we're looking at the performance of zoom lenses. More versatile than a fixed focal length prime lens, zoom lenses are often preferred by entry-level DSLR shooters, thanks to the convenience of having a range of focal lengths in a single lens. Image quality isn't quite as good on a zoom compared to a prime, however, with generally lower lens metric scores recorded in our tests, although some zooms come pretty close to primes. The physics of constructing a zoom lens means that very wide maximum apertures such as f/1.4 or f/1.8 are also rare, although some of the best performers in this review boast wide f/1.8 or f/2 maximum apertures.
Following on from our series of selecting the best lenses for the Nikon D800 with its potential for massively detailed images from the 36Mpix sensor, we've now turned our attention to that camera's younger sibling, the 24Mpix D600.
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality.
New data for the Nikon AF Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED and the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G and the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lenses now available on DxOMark

Sharpness of Images

This a comment for this page on the website

I have this lens (i.e. the Nikkor 70-300 FX zoom lens), a Nikon D600 and a Nikon D 7000. Recently I have been trying to take pictures of the moon. You rate this lens higher with the D 600 than with the D 7000, but I have been able to take much more detailed pictures of the moon and its many craters, with the D 7000 at full zoom than with the D 600. In fact the difference is stunning.
So please try to help me understand why my images are more detailed with the D 7000 than with the D 600.
I think the reason is this: At full zoom, the fx lens zooms to the equivalent of 450 mm on the dx camera. I think this comes about because although there are more pixels on the FX camera, the pixels on the DX camera are crowded into half the amount of space, so the actual density of the dx image is greater, so that the image of the moon includes more pixels from the dx camera, than from the fx.
The moon is actually pretty bright so there is enough light to fully utilize the dx pixels.
Thank you for your wonderful site.

Re: Sharpness of Images
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
It is more a problem of focal : on the D7000 you had a 450 mm focal equivalent and on the D600 you only had a 300mm.
If you could frame the same moon part with the Nikon D600 this image would be sharper than the one you got with the D7000.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

Re: Sharpness of Images
I agree with what you are saying, but the "IF" is huge. All through the zoom range, the D 7000 gets much more effect zoom than the d600, so it gives a clearer image because the greater effective zoom means that more pixels are devoted to any particular portion of the image. So regardless of the comparative clarity ratings, if you are zooming max and then cropping you may get the clearer image from the lens using the d7000 if there is enough light.
But you are saying that if you dial back the zoom on the D7000 camera so that the full image is the same as the full image taken by the D600, then the D600 image would be clearer. This is the situation covered by your comparative ratings of the same lens on different cameras.
Do I have this right?

I asked the hostess for a gluten free menu (knowing they had one online) and she said they didn't have it but was obviously confused and chose to say no rather than finding out. Once seated I asked our waitress and she gave it to me. They had different symbols for items containing gluten and ones possibly cross contaminated. They did not have a seperate fryer so a lot of the GF options were cross contaminated and not labeled as such. Since my diagnosis I only order the naked tenders (with or without seasoning) and choose a GF sauce to go with. I have tried eating there 4 times and gotten sick every time. also ordered a salad as a side and specified no croutons but they were still on the salad when I got it. Due to a long wait and running short on time I didn't bother with it and just didn't eat the salad. I feel bad because it's one of my husband's favorite places but I have decided I'm giving up on them despite their "GF menu" they provide.
Always mention that you are Gluten free to the manager to avoid cross contamination!
50 Fox Run Road, Newington, NH 03801
Never any problems with contamination.
2690 Tittabawassee Road, Saginaw, MI 48604
Asked about the wings and they said they fried everything together. So I looked through the allergen book, and after waiting 1 hour for the ultimate chicken nachos, still ended up in pain.
442 Northside Dr E, Statesboro, GA 30458
The manager told us they do not have a dedicated fryer.
4711 West 29th Street, Greeley, CO 80634
They don't have a dedicated fryer and the wait staff had no clue what they were doing. Served my salad with croutons. Stay away if you truly are allergic.
207 Stones River Mall Boulevard, Murfreesboro, TN 37129
Great service, the manager came out to help me order
1121 E North Ave, Belton, MO 64012
*** Please write honest reviews so others have up to date information on choices*** Not Gluten Free. I don't think this should even be on the app as gluten free. There is nothing you can eat here except salad and even then I'm told it's surrounded by flour when prepped.
2530 Sardis Rd N, Charlotte, NC 28227
There are no GF options other than salads. very disappointing because BWW in upstate NY have dedicated fryers.
7430 Las Vegas Blvd S #120, Las Vegas, NV 89123
yes. I was really impressed because they educated their staff. They said they are not a gf facility but they went out of their way to accommodate me and make sure I was safe. Even introduced me to gf beer
6710 West Central Avenue, Toledo, OH 43617
The worst. I thought maybe it'd be okay, sine the other reviews were so long ago. It wasn't.
2040 AZ-95, Bullhead City, AZ 86442
very helpful in finding what I can and cannot eat.
1018 Spring Garden Ct, Spring Hill, TN 37174
Not sure on the wings but the BBQ chicken salad was great. So far so good!
11651 S 73rd St, Papillion, NE 68046
Had a wonderful experience at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight. Didn't expect for them to have anything safe but asked anyway. The kitchen manager came out to speak to me and said that his sister has Celiac so he's familiar and he'd love to make sure I have a safe meal. Their chili and coleslaw are all pre-packaged and GF. He opened two fresh packages and personally handled everything and brought it out to me himself. And to top it all off, he only charged me about $2.50 each, the price for sides, even though he gave me big bowls of each. And the chili was soooo good!
2608 2nd Ave, Muscatine, IA 52761
The waitress didn't know what gluten was. Despite careful selection of grilled chicken and a salad, I still got glutened.
702 West Riverdale Road, Riverdale, UT 84405
This Location has a dedicated fryer for GF. I eat here frequently. I have NEVER reacted at this location. The manager has celiac. so this location is super gf friendly. The same cannot be said for other locations.
50 Old Mill Blvd, Washington, PA 15301
Many sauces for wings are GF. Allergen/GF list online.Not sure if celiac friendly.
10525 South 15th Street #100, Bellevue, NE 68123
Should not even be considered as Gluten Free!
3701 W Division St, St Cloud, MN 56301
Poor Service who seemed to be upset that we asked them to be extra careful. This has been the only Buffalo Wild Wings that we have ever had an issue with, save your time and money and go across the highway to Red Robin.
2948 Interstate 45 N #500, Conroe, TX 77303
The French fries are commingled with the flour dusted wedge fries. Not one gluten free carb. Great drinking place but bad eating place
103 Quarry Rd, Downingtown, PA 19335
have been feeling terrible for hours, just got the naked tenders and regular fries- don't know if they use the same fryer or the sauces truly were not GF, wish things were marked clearer on the menu.
10436 Town Center Dr #100, Westminster, CO 80021
This location did their absolute best trying to keep gluten away from my food. They have a separate fryer for gluten free frying, and they clearly mark all allergen specified foods. I will go back!!
1264 Perry Ave, Big Rapids, MI 49307
Naked tenders are GF. Fries are potential CC in the fryer. All sauces GF besides Teriyaki and Asian Zing. Allergen list online.
1550 Douglas Road, Oswego, IL 60543
shouldn't even be listed
13215 Meridian East, Puyallup, WA 98374
our bar tender Natasha was amazing, food was fabulous!!
2 Rt. 37 West, Unit C-4 Crossroads Center of Toms River, Toms River, NJ 08753
Waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. Wish they had gluten free rolls to enjoy burgers or a sandwich. But nachos and wings were a good enough meal. They don't have a special GF menu but they give you the allergen list in a special folder that allows you to see your options.
4280 S Hualapai Way, Las Vegas, NV 89147
TERRIBLE! Nothing is gluten free! They use the same dryers for everything. They even noted that the chicken for the salads were cross contaminated! Don't go there if you have Celiac!
7345 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89148
TERRIBLE! Nothing is gluten free! They use the same dryers for everything. My daughter & I sat and watched everyone eat. Don't go there if you have Celiac!
4711 West 29th Street, Greeley, CO 80634
make sure they use a dedicated fryer. the one in Littleton co does not but say they have gf wings.
2386 Taylor Square Dr, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068
My server Jennifer was very helpful to find me some selections to eat and engaged the manager Evan and he explained they had 2 fryers which were always for non breaded items. Their French fries are GF and he made sure to make them in these fryers as well as some traditional wings.. excellent
207 Stones River Mall Boulevard, Murfreesboro, TN 37129
great service and knowledgeable manager but something must have changed because all I could have was naked tenders, a salad or veggies and a few sauce choices.
1290 Arsenal St, Watertown, NY 13601
Ask for the allergen menu to help guide your choices.
7345 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89148
There are many BWWs that have separate fryers but this one doesn't. The staff is not trained well to handle those with Celiac Disease. My son hasn't been sick eating here but it's not a good spot.
1640 Camino Del Rio N, San Diego, CA 92108
Was willing to research and work with us on our meal needs
2025 Prairie Center Parkway, Brighton, CO 80601
They have very few options for those who have celiac disease, they no longer have a dedicated fryer as well. My choice was the honey BBQ chicken salad, which was great. The waitress was fully aware of what foods would be best options for me, and also brought over a menu containing ingredients.
6550 Rogers Ave, Fort Smith, AR 72903
I eat here all the time! The staff isn't very knowledgeable but the online gf menu is easy to navigate. They don't have a GF menu but they do have an allergen list. I love the naked tenders, fries with quest, and loaded nachos with chicken.
985 Fort Union Boulevard, Midvale, UT 84047
Unlike most other locations, this one in Midvale uses a dedicated fryer for their fries. The staff is excellent and willing to verify what is safe and what isn't. Naked tenders with most sauces are GF and come with fries.
7524 Bluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70810
BWW has a great allergen list that shows lots of wheat-free items. So it's a shame that there is so much variation by location in terms of cross contamination. This location does not segregate fryers, so all those delicious, gluten free chicken wings and the huge list of gluten free sauces end up being contaminated. Confirmed by manager who flat out recommended I eat elsewhere.
2109 West Roosevelt Boulevard F, Monroe, NC 28110
The employees work with you to provide Gluten Free options.
1794 South Road, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590
Wings are not fried in dedicated fryer. Be careful. Only GF thing is nachos, maybe. Not knowledgable staff either.
2950 South 108th Street, West Allis, Wisconsin 53227
Sure they have an allergen menu, they don't however have a dedicated fryer. There are breaded wings made in the same fryer as the traditional so if you have celiac disease, I don't recommend their wings.
4600 Silver Creek Drive, Sherwood, AR 72120
Got glutened despite being told everything is in a dedicated fryer and sauces are gf. The service was horrible also.
140 Hays Ln B15, Wilmington, NC 28411
Spoke with the General Manger, Wayne, tonight. He assured us that they do have a dedicated fryer for all bone-in-wings where nothing with breading enters that fryer (except on Thursday nights, boneless wing night specials). They have an allergen list for all items. This is a new restaurant and also a training restaurant the General Manager took our satisfaction very seriously! Of course there is the general disclaimer of cross contamination.... But they were willing to listen to our concerns.
8301 On the Mall, Buena Park, CA 90620
I worked at Bdubs for 4 years. nothing is gf. too much shared equipment and fryers.
2905 Geyser Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
they are gluten free they have a gluten free menu!
4104 Central Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71913
I love the traditional wings, loaded nachos, and buffalo chips!
5533 Carolina Beach Rd, Wilmington, NC 28412
Don't have dedicated fryer! So we Left! At home where the managers know us personally they guarantee a dedicated fryer for folks that NEED to eat gf. Very disappointed hopefully they will fix this problem since we would visit our local bw's a few times a week.
1794 South Road, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590
Always a great option for gluten free! Traditional wings have many gf sauce options and the naked tenders are another option as well! Also serve gf beer and cider which is a plus!
3625 Central Expressway #100, Plano, TX 75023
Not gluten free AT ALL!! They didnt know what gluten was, they reuse bowls for the auce with breaded foods, they say the fries are in a separate frier but then say thry arent, and I found out after eating half my salad that there were croutons underneath. side note, my tenders werent done and they tasted like fish. never. again. Im gonna go be sick now, cause I got glutened.
2137 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH 43240
once again a place states GF but doesn't consider cross contamination
1887 Pulaski Hwy, Bear, DE 19701
I love Buffalo Wild Wings!! I've been to two different locations in Delaware, Middletown and Lewis, and both experiences are fantastic. When you tell them about your allergy they will clean the area for your food and the fries have their own fryer. They also have a gluten free menu and when ordering with people who eat gluten they will put a sticker on your order so they know it's yours.
901 Interstate 30 Frontage Road, Rockwall, TX 75087
I just order the original bone in and I don't have problems. Love wings..

Next we'll be looking at the Greek Key block and noticing that the white portion of the block resembles the capital letter "G". Since it's so easy to get turned around in quilting and piecing, it's essential to keep the block always in the "G" formation while sewing the sections of the block together.
The next pic is self-explanatory and describes the piecing order of the block.

Know what your
legislator stands for
In the Feb. 28 Brainerd Dispatch's article "Push for gay marriage under way at Capitol," I was appalled to see in large print 10A Rep. John Ward say he is "undecided ... on this hot-button issue."
John has been an activist and advocate for gay marriage at our Capitol, but do not take my word for it, take his. Go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5MwhjIo3wc. Or just type "John Ward on Marriage" in your search bar on your computer and watch the first Utube video that pops up.
Be sure to watch to the end where he is yelling very passionately how we must allow "these people to marry." John I wish you were as proud of what you believe here at home as you are at the Capitol.
Be informed on what your representative stands for or votes for, as it will affect or infect your children's grandchildren.

Los Santos
|Grand Theft Auto V
|San Andreas
- This page is about Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V. Did you mean Los Santos in GTA San Andreas?
Los Santos is a fictional city existing in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, based on the real-life city of Los Angeles, California. The city is portrayed in a contemporary time period, which is intended to be present-day around the date of the game's release, sometime in the spring of 2013.
Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until reaching missions that open up access to other portions of the map. This is in keeping with GTA V's philosophy of letting the player do whatever he/she wants to do, rather than being forced to do certain things at a certain time in a certain way. Rockstar also felt the map was too large for the player to be restrained to a certain area.
Although sharing similar characteristics and landmarks as the city's appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the physical layout is completely remade, not being a like-for-like copy of the city's previous map.

Weekly Bulletin
The OCC publishes a Weekly Bulletin containing certain national bank and Federal savings association applications and notices. It is a record of receipt and actions taken by the Comptroller of the Currency on applications and notices filed by national banks for new banks, new branches, mergers, conversions, fiduciary powers, subsidiaries, relocation of main offices and branches, changes in corporate title, branch closings, changes in bank control, terminations, and federal branches and agencies. It also includes merger applications filed by Federal savings associations after January 1, 2014. The Weekly Bulletin indicates the public comment period end date for filings requiring public notice.
The Weekly Bulletin is available by date and incorporates the Weekly Merger Public Comment Period Report to reflect a comment period end date for national bank and Federal savings association mergers, consolidations, and purchase and assumptions that is the latter of: 1) the newspaper publication comment period end date; 2) 29 days from the publication of the merger application in the Weekly Bulletin; or 3) 29 days from the date the merger application is posted to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Reading Room.
Details on national bank applications and notices appearing in the Weekly Bulletin can be retrieved through the Corporate Applications Search by searching on the bank's name, charter number, OCC control number, application type or OCC action.
Most applications appear in the bulletin at least twice – once when they are received and then again when the application is decided. Some application types appear a third time, when the transaction is consummated or the location opened. Typically, notices appear when the transactions are effective, although branch closings usually appear when the OCC receives notice of the proposed closing, as well as at final closing.
Each bulletin is a record for the seven-day period ending on the report date. The record includes receipts, actions, and consummations/openings processed during the week. Because notices are often received after the consummation or opening dates, some of the activity in the bulletin may have happened in a previous seven-day period.
Each application or notice is assigned an OCC control number. The control number is a unique identifier for each filing. When requesting information or discussing the filing with the OCC, it is helpful to reference the control number.

dean, what is the source of the 'trend'? what is your approach to improving the traits of your bees via genetics?
dean, what is the source of the 'trend'? what is your approach to improving the traits of your bees via genetics?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
There is no advantage to bringing in bees from diverse regions where they are native unless you are prepared to do the breeding work that Brother Adam did with his bees. In other words, there is NO advantage to diversity just for diversity's sake. You might even be going backwards by importing bees that are so seriously un-adapted that they can't produce their own honey and would have to be fed to maintain them. There is also the risk of importing undesirable traits such as AHB, cape bees, etc.So instead of seeking out so much genetic diversity, we should find bees that do what we need them to and maintain them?
If you want bees that are adapted to NS, then you would only want to bring in bees from areas with similar climates. This would limit you to extreme northern Europe and perhaps part of Asia. Unfortunately that would leave out some of the most interesting bees with the most unique traits. Here is a listing of the recognized geographic species of Apis Mellifera.
North-west of Europe
A. m. iberica
A. m. intermissa
A. m. lihzeni
A. m. mellifera
A. m. sahariensis * note that this one is listed twice.
South-west of Europe
A. m. carnica
A. m. cecropia
A. m. ligustica
A. m. macedonica
A.m. ruttneri
A. m. sicula
Middle East
A. m. adamii
A. m. anatoliaca
A. m. armeniaca
A. m. caucasica
A. m. cypria
A. m. meda
A. m. pomonella
A. m. adansonii
A. m. capensis
A. m. intermissa
A. m. lamarckii
A. m. litorea
A. m. major
A. m. monticola
A. m. sahariensis
A. m. scutellata
A. m. unicolor
A. m. jemenitica
Of the above, I know of three that could be of significant interest here in North America. They are A. M. Lamarckii, A. M. Sahariensis, and A. M. Monticola. Guess what? These are all African races! So why would they be interesting? Lamarckii is the Egyptian bee and carries the unique trait of NOT collecting propolis. Sahariensis carries a trait of extreme thrift to the point of producing very little drone comb. Monticola seems to have some unique cold temperature adaptations.
NW Alabama, 47 years, 22 colonies and growing, sideliner, treatment free since 2005, 14 frame square Dadant broodnest
interesting dar. do you raise your own queens? if no, what do you look for when purchasing?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Adam, can you get bees from Hawaii? Big Island Queens is selling VSH queens there, that they got from Glenn Apiaries.
I remember reading how Allen Dick got queens from Hawaii. My impression from what I remember from earlier posts of
yours is your frustration with treating for mites. This should help. Get some Ferguson Buckfasts, some VSH from Hawaii and
start raising your own bees for your area. Also, (insert shameless Weaver plug here) I heard Beeweaver is still working with
a company out there in HI. If you're happy with your Chevy. You don't need a Chevy/Ford/Dodge. They're already produced.
You just have to figure out how to get them.
VSH is not the right approach. This is especially true if you are not going to evaluate/select for VSH. I hear from very very few beekeepers who actually evaluate for VSH.
dean, can you share what you evaluate/select for?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I thought Adam was trying to be treatment-free. Evaluate by having bees that live treatment-free. My logic is. Buckfasts do well
in cold, wet parts of Europe and Canada. It should do well in NS. VSH trait is inheritable. Both "breeds" should do okay through a
NS summer, long enough to get queens raised and everything requeened before winter. Evaluate in the spring of 2014. Binford
and Danny Weaver have already proven that VSH is inheritable into the Buckfast line. Why can't Adam work on his own version
of Beeweavers that will do well where he's at? Since he can't import a bee that's already being produced that would work for him.
...you are talking about VSH as it it were brown eyes.....this is a gross misunderstanding of the entire concept of VSH, HYG, and hygienic behavior in general.
These behaviors exist in all populations...the 'trait' is really just an evaluation of where on the continuum a particular hive scores. It is also well understood (and has been demonstrated in both the lab and with independent breeders) that a line that scores highest in hygienec tests pull most of the brood, not just those hosting varroa.
Read Marla's documentation wrt Minnesota hygienic program.....without constant selection for the hyg trait, it dilutes in the population (meaning that if you are not testing and selecting for it disappears).
Most importantly, naturally surviving populations of bees (even AHB ) don't score especially high on these kinds of tests...so they are using other (proven successful) methods to survive the mites.

He has a book ya know. heh, heh
Mark Berninghausen
so that's why the teasers!
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I hope these thoughts fit in with the OP and subsequent exchange.
I have not read any claim by Brother Adam that he had found 'all' strains of bees worth using in breeding, there is still work to be done in remote places harboring the original range of Apis Meliffera.
Seems that frozen semen would be the easiest way to gather your diversity. Maybe you could find some European breeder or institution with the same goals then work on importing bees or semen with veterinary certifications and assurances. Import them to a government research program for evaluation -that is your foot in the door.
We cannot predict the 'next' disease or pest in our (bee) future. Ushering a wide genetic footprint into the future will be good for the bee's chance of survival.
I'm wintering four hives containing: One queen of Minnesota Hygienic stock (now mixed with local feral bees), one queen of RWeaver's Buckfast stock (it IS a gentle hive), One queen of BeeWeaver's survivor stock, and one Italian looking queen from a local cut out. I've observed good honey production and hygienic behavior from the Minnesota hygienic, Beeweaver and RWeaver Buckfast queens (the feral hive is too new to judge production).
The RWeaver Buckfast line, even if diminished over time as some assert, was bred to have good wing size for good flying ability, good resistance to tracheal mites and brood diseases (and other attributes). Coupled with good honey production and gentleness, the Buckfast genes seem a good bet for some broader diversity crossing with these other lines in Spring. We'll roll the dice in Spring and subsequent Springs, until somebody solves the task of providing a (successful) wider genetic base here in America.
BTW, are our bees really doing that much worse than European bees did when varroa arrived there?
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
1. I've been typing on my phone.
2. I've posted a lot about this here and elsewhere.
3. It's hard to even discuss this stuff if it's against the backdrop of VSH when it is so misunderstood. Why would one let a hive die when they could just get VSH stock to start with? Because VSH is just as much of a crutch as any other, and one that virtually no one who buys such stock is equiped to maintain.
to NS. The idea is to make a hybrid then breed from the survivors. If the resistant trait doesn't transfer, there won't be survivors.
I'm not talking about a whole complicated progam with nitrogen tests and counting percentages of pulled brood etc. Just find
an improvement and then breed from the best at hand and go from there. The bees that the II breeders use have a very high
score when tested for VSH trait. When bred to a non-VSH bee the trait does get thinned down, but can still be carried enough
to make bees that can make healthy colonies and effectively hold their own against mites.
makes sense steven. i guess poor adam is in a bit of a predictament up there in ns.
dean, your book is supposed to arrive here next week, so rest your eyes.
(but when you get a better opportunity, i want to know the real reason why you don't like the erikson paper, on the pov thread, thanks)
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
My impression is that simple Mendel's laws is difficult to apply to the bees. From another hand, I hope that classical genetics is still working on bees. Correct me if I am wrong: Individual worker bee could have only pair of any gene - "A" and "a", which gives some combinations in the future generations, AA, Aa and aa. In my understanding, diversity may be at the level of single colony - different bees have different father's genes and the same from mother. Another option - diversity between the colonies. In such case, both mother and father genes may create a numerous combinations. The "trait" is not a single gene, it is a combination of many. Now, are we talking about "diversity" of "traits" or genes? In my opinion, diversity of genes may be realized even in a single colony if free mating is available. Free mating will also increase the diversity of genes between the colonies (plus "wild" genes). May be somebody could explain to me what is (if any) diversity of "traits?" Continue speaking about diversity of genes (not traits), to me, the easiest solution would be to let bees to create their own queens and mate them freely. It would immediately diversify the pool of genes available in (and between) the colony(ies). Introducing the "breeded" queen would shrink the diversity.
This post is not a statement but my thoughts. It would be nice to hear [the opinion of experts] friendly opinions.

well, that certainly leaves me out.
nice to see you posting sergey, i hope you have been well.

I am not expert ether. Bees genetics is so complicated to me! It would be great if together we could figure out how "traits" are actually inherited AND stay in genome?
Серёжа, Sergey
There is a good reason hybrid breeding programs maintain separate lines, and us the cross for "production". Often the inbred lines of bees are very weak from inbreeding.....and subsequent generations are poor...hence maintaininformation the separate lines.

Gadget Geek's Guide to November Gaming Apps
It seems like it's all about the multiplayer games this month, and we love it. Here are the top gaming apps released this month for your smartphone and tablet.
Heroes of Order & Chaos
Gamers, especially those with a soft spot for multiplayer role-playing games, have been anxious for this release for quite some time and it's finally here! Gameloft is the first company to bring MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) to mobile with their latest game, Heroes of Order & Chaos. The gameplay is flawless and the graphics are gorgeous, which helps you overlook the fact that it's a blatant knockoff of World of Warcraft. But the development of the game was definitely a necessary step for the MOBA platform to take, since more gamers are heading for their iPads for gameplay. Players choose between 30 unique heroes and upgrade skills and equipment along the way. You're also able to fight solo when you aren't playing in multiplayer mode, which is a plus because it's so addictive.
Rage of the Gladiator
The highly popular WiiWare game Rage of the Gladiator has made its way to iOS. Completely remastered to suit tablet gaming, its stunning 3D graphics and new features make it a must-have for fans of the game. Equipped with only a warhammer and shield, you play the role of Gracius, who outsmarts and battles some of the most challenging bosses ever developed. You're able to choose between old school horizontal NES play or through motion controls if you really want to get into the gameplay. What's great is that although Rage of the Gladiator follows the old boxing formulas (think Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for NES), it's still a challenge to play. We're always wary of successful games that make their way from console to tablet, but Rage of the Gladiator proves that by tweaking what they already have and adding new features, the change can be done effectively.
SHADOWGUN: DeadZone
SHADOWGUN: DeadZone is yet another console-quality game to hit the iOS market, proving it one of the best shooter games released this year. Challenge up to 12 players online in this intense multiplayer game while you battle your way to better ranks and cooler gear like the MP Grenade, Frag Grenade, Sentry Gun and Mines to blow away your opponents. The coolest part of the game is being able to talk to your friends who are playing in a multiplayer voice chat developed by Ericsson exclusively for the game. The dialogue is a little cheesy, but it's an easy thing to overlook when you're playing one of the sharpest-looking games on your retina display.
Stan Lee's Verticus
It's about time the father of comic books made his own app game, lending his voice, iconic look and name to the game as Mission Commander in Stan Lee's Verticus. Players free-fall through the atmosphere collecting coins and orbs while dodging mines and alien ships. The game's look takes inspiration from many comic books Lee has developed throughout the years, with sharp colors and great design. There isn't much to this game, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad one. The only thing we didn't like was the constant upsell of in-game purchases after already paying for it.

Barry Beach talks next steps for attempt at new trial, getting out of prison
DEER LODGE, Mont. - An update on a story NBC Montana's been following -- convicted killer Barry Beach may have lost another round with the State Supreme Court, but he's not giving up.
In the last few months we reported when the Montana Supreme Court overruled a lower court, yanked away a new trial, and sent Beach back to prison.
Now, from his cell in Deer Lodge, Beach is talking about his hope for the future.
Behind the barbed wire and walls of the Montana State Prison sits Beach in a place he didn't think he'd ever come back to.
"Just that instant sick, sick empty feeling. We didn't expect it to go that route," said Beach.
In December 2011 a court ruling for a new trial set Beach free after he'd already spent 29 years behind bars for killing Poplar teenager Kim Nees in 1979. Beach was sentenced to 100 years, no parole for the crime he insists he didn't commit.
"I did not kill Kim Nees. I was not present with Kim Nees was murdered. I had no knowledge of the murder of Kim Nees until after the fact, just like everybody else in the public."
DNA evidence from scene of the murder never linked Beach to the crime. His conviction in 1984 hinged on an earlier confession he made. Beach maintains investigators coerced him to make the statement after hours of intense interrogation. Since his conviction in 1984 he's been fighting for a new trial.
"This is probably the saddest example of justice that the State of Montana has ever put to light."
During his 18 months out of prison Beach stayed busy not only preparing for a retrial but also running a business. Beach said during his time in MSP he picked up skills that helped him to start a handyman company. Beach said he had more work than he could handle.
"A year later when I went to work for the Clocktower Inn (in Billings) as the chief engineer in their maintenance department, I had more contracts than I could possibly fulfill."
That hard work came to an end when Beach went back to prison. After the recent ruling Beach and his attorneys are looking at three options: An appeal with Federal Court, a request to get the Montana Board of Pardons to reconsider his 'no parole' status, and filing again the District Court.
"We've actually had several witnesses come forward," said Beach. "We're following up on their information and their leads right now and I actually had another witness come forward just two weeks ago."
The process will likely be a lengthy one but Beach isn't about to give up.
"Believe me I have a reason for fighting still and I had 18 months of a reminder of what I'm fighting for."
He just hopes it won't take 30 more years to get out prison, 30 years he doesn't have.
"I just want to go home and when my mom passes away I want to be able to go to her funeral. A least give me that. At least give me the ability to bury my mom when that happens."
Beach has about 90 days to file his appeal with the Federal Court. We'll keep you updated.

Press Review #1: The Rock show in Montreal: Led Zeppelin drives audience wild
MONTREAL -- The last of the loud British supergroups — Led Zeppelin — dropped its heavy metal rock on a packed house of 20,000 fans at the Forum here last night. The four-man group stomped and hammered its way through three hours of deafening rock, before a wildly enthusiastic audience.
Outside the arena, a police riot squad stood by ready to avoid a repeat performance of a riot which marked the visit of the Rolling Stones in the summer of 1972. However, there were no incidents.
Extra police were also assigned to curtail scalpers, some of whom claimed to be getting up to $50 for a single $7.50 ticket. Those who were lucky enough to have tickets heard a cross- section of the group's music over the past seven years, as well as new songs from an upcoming album, Physical Graffiti.
Guitarist Jimmy Page, dressed in black suit trimmed with silver sequins, played well despite the fact that he was suffering from a broken bone in the third finger of his left hand.
Vocalist Robert Plant bare chested and flopping his long, blond hair, was often overpowered by the sledgehammer drumming of John Bonham. John Paul Jones played well on the bass and keyboard.
Even, better than the music at times was the elaborate light show which turned the stage into a fantasy of revolving chrome spheres, and ever - changing color patterns on a veil backdrop.
The group flew in earlier yesterday from New York aboard a chartered $2 million Starship Jet, the same one used Elton John on his tour.
They returned to New York immediately afterwards, and they play there tonight. (A. Ferrante, Feb. 1975, Star)
Press Review #2: Led Zeppelin at the Forum
Nearly 20,000 fans packed the Montreal Forum last February 6, to see and hear Led Zeppelin's performance.
It was a thrilling moment for me when I caught my first glimpse of them. There was a majestic air about the sight of them on stage, and throughout the concert everyone seemed to be held in awe.
I was amazed to hear the multitude of sounds emanated by lead vocalist Robert Plant. He explained that this concert would be a spectrum of their work beginning with their latest album, "Physical Graffiti", soon to be released.
After the first hour they moved on to some of their earlier recorded songs. "No Quarter" featured John Paul Jones playing synthesizer and synthesized bass. John Bonham pleased the audience playing a thirty minute drum solo during "Moby Dick". He utilized a phase shifter, a device which makes the sound seem like it's traveling around the room, and had his tympani fed into a synthesizer that made him produce some unearthly sounds. At times I wasn't sure what instrument he was playing.
Jimmy Page demonstrated his musical creativity when he played his guitar with a violin bow, giving a whining sound to "Dazed and Confused".
They closed the concert with "Stairway to Heaven" during which hundreds of fans held lit matches in appreciation of their performing the song. Page's solo during the song was somewhat disappointing to me. He played some mushy chords instead of the vivid, clean fretwork I expected. The whole song seemed a little under par
Five minutes of continuous applause and yelling "We want more" brought them back for an encore with the crowd pleasers, "Whole Lotta Love" and "Black Dog", but that wasn't enough. Their second encore "Heartbreaker" brought the evening to a close after three and a half hours on stage.
Led Zeppelin is a professional group is every sense of the word. Their stage etiquette was the best I've ever seen. There are a lot of phony glitter groups on the market today that put on stage shows with smoke, fog and psychedelic lighting. Most of them need the diversions to cover up poor musicianship and writing ability. Zeppelin uses these devices to accent their music, not as a substitute for it. If they did they wouldn't be on top of their field as they are today. [A. MARCUCCIO/Feb.75]

My First Concert
I was fifteen years old and had heard on CHOM FM that my favorite band (still is) Led Zeppelin was playing the Forum. This was to be my first concert. I immediatly began begging my mother to make the one hour plus trip from N.Y. State to the Forum box office to get a couple of tickets for my brother and me. Unfortunately, due to an injury I was not able to wait on line for tickets, instead my mother rose to the occasion and did so for me but while she waited in line the tickets sold out. As not to waist a trip to Montreal and realizing how important this show was to me,she purchased two $7.50 tickets from a scalper for $20.00 - What a deal! What a mom! My brother and I enjoyed ,as I remeber a three hour show starting off with Rock and Roll and ending with Black Dog. As I went through the setlist I can remember concert clips of each song in my mind. Great memories,hope to see them again!?
