"Crank" (2006)
Balls-to-the-wall action flick starring Jason Statham as a double-crossed hit man who's been injected with a slow acting poison. The only way to counteract its effect is to keep his adrenaline pumping at all costs, so he embarks on a rampage across L.A., going to absurd lengths to keep his heart rate up and his adrenaline flowin' while he seeks to settle the score with the gangstas who wronged him.
What this flick lacks in logic, it more than makes up for in crazed, hyperactive action sequences and a sick sense of humor. Fast, furious and funny as hell.

SHEITAN (2006): What I wrote when I first saw this was: Obnoxious amoral twentysomethings party at a creepy French provincial estate where the caretaker has a permanent unsettling grin, and nothing is as it seems. Ambitious attempt at a ROSEMARY'S BABY type atmosphere, but the young protagonists are intolerable and live to annoy the audience for far too long, and the multiple false endings were a bad idea. I originally gave it 2.5 stars. On second watch, however, I think it's worse than that. Vincent Cassel (and yummy Roxane Mesquida) are the only good things about the movie. The protagonists are really loathsome. Downgraded to 2/5.

Rush Hour (1998)
: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker pair up as an unlikely duo of rogue cops who are trying to find and rescue the kidnapped daughter of the Chinese consulate, despite the FBI trying to get both of them off the case and out of their hair.
This action comedy was surprisingly fun and quite entertaining. However, it really offers very little we haven't seen before in other action films of this type. Chan and Tucker do make a better pair of leads together though than I initially expected and that's largely what makes this one work. I do feel Chan did much superior work to this earlier in the 90s though. Still this makes for a good transition into Hollywood style action films for him here. ***1/2 out of ***** stars.

"Catwoman" (2004)
This notorious box office bomb made the strange choice of taking a well-loved comic book character with more than 50+ years of back story ...and throwing it all completely out the window in favor of a totally "new," totally WTF origin story. Halle Berry is a schlumpy cosmetics-company employee who gets killed after finding out a dangerous secret about her bosses' latest product. Fortunately, she doesn't stay dead for long. After becoming the reincarnation of some sorta Egyptian Cat God (don't ask), she transforms into a ghetto-fabulous, bull whip totin, ass kickin', tuna fish eatin' superheroine, and sets off to stop the cougar-iffic villainess Sharon Stone from poisoning the women of the world with a toxic blend of face cream. Yeah, I know.... say
? It's so off the wall that "Catwoman" actually becomes kinda riveting in a totally what-the-f*ck, I-can't-look-away-from-the-horrible-car-crash sort of way.
The ludicrous story, cardboard characters, cheap CGI-assisted stunts, and massive amounts of scenery chewing by both Berry and Stone quickly turn "Catwoman" into an unintentional comedy of the highest order. Bad-movie masochists, check this one out and prepare for a total hoot.

5ive Girls (2006) - some delinquent girls (5ive of them) get sent to a religious reform school where another girl died years earlier. Turns out her ghost is still haunting the place, and plans have been made to bring her back to life. This isn't good news for our 5ive girls. They also have to deal with a seriously strict (and seriously hot) headmistress at the school, but they've got Ron Perlman as a kindly priest to look after them. A little bit at least. I hadn't watched this in a long time and forgot how fun it was. The characters are great and the plot is actually interesting, as we learn more about it over the course of the movie. It does drag a bit at the end but that's about my only complaint. 4/5ive.

RETURN OF THE KUNG FU DRAGON (1976): The impossible-to-follow plot of this Taiwanese movie concerns dueling wizards and a princess returning to reclaim the throne of her island kingdom from an evil emperor. Non stop kung fu battles, dozens of strange characters, and bizarre camerawork make this a disorienting experience that should appeal to gonzo martial arts fans. I liked the fact that the evil wizard's beard was so long he had a female attendant stand next to him and hold it for him at all times. No idea how to rate this; if you aren't into 70s kung fu and want a plot that makes sense, maybe as low as a 2/5; if you're into this stuff as high as 4/5.

Hellraiser: Deader (2005) - a reporter (Kari Wuhrer) goes to Romania to do a story on some guy who can apparently bring the dead back to life. She has to infiltrate the whole goth / druggie / skid row scene where this guy hangs out. It's not long before Pinhead makes a brief appearance and after that, she starts seeing things that aren't really there. This screenplay was originally for a completely different non-Hellraiser movie and then they just stuck Pinhead in a couple of scenes and put Hellraiser on the box. And it really shows. The plot about the guy who brings the dead back to life doesn't really go anywhere, probably because they replaced whatever conclusion it might have had with a scene of Pinhead showing up, which all feels very tacked on an unnecessary. Kari does her usual great job with her character and the thing is fairly atmospheric. It had one really creepy scene with a dead girl in an apartment, but that was about it. 3/5.

Giant DNA Spiders from outer space invade New York causing trouble.
(2000) did the same but only better, and
(2009) already set the standard on fun low budget CGI mayhem.
What's left is decent action and better production values but the rest hardly delivers. All actors are rather bland and uninteresting, and the plot has been done a million times.
Some University babe doing research in Indonesia comes across a fishing platform slaving children to do hard work. Before she can interfere a giant Scorpion (!) pops up piercing humans with its tail like Shish Kabob.
DeepStar Six
-ish creature feature from Brian Yuzna. Not sucky bad but unusual because of location and (local) casting. Nice practical effects but bad CGI. It was also nice to see Michael Paré again playing a skipper. I wish I had his genes because he didn't age much it seems.

Breeders (NSFW)
Mutant Hunt
The actors in both of these movies seem to have absolutely no clue what they're doing, either that or their characters are complete BA's who stay calm under the most insane situations (aliens talking about taking over by raping all of their woman or their friends fighting nigh indestructible cyborgs). Which makes for some horrible yet entertaining viewing. Enjoy these gems on Netflix while they're up.

Microwave Massacre (1983) - the guy who did the voice of Frosty The Snowman stars as a construction worker who can't stand his wife. It's not long before she ends up in the microwave and through a little mix-up, Frosty ends up eating her. Turns out humans are really quite tasty. He's nice enough to share his newfound cuisine with the guys at work, which creates a bit of a demand for his cooking and of course he's got to track down some additional victims. Quite an amusing little movie, the characters were entertaining and the humor was actually sort of clever. Babes were delicious too - literally

"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
Stanley Kubrick's classic sci-fi headf*ck takes the viewer on a "trip" (in every sense of the word) all the way from the Dawn of Man to the next step of human evolution, guided by a mysterious alien black stone monolith. Or....something like that. Seriously, "2001" is still an impressive feast for the eyes (the visual effects still beat the pants off of a lotta movies being made today) but the "story" is a pretentious muddle. Just enjoy the visuals and don't bother trying to follow it.

Caught up on two more 2012 releases today.
Promised Land-Gus Van Sant and Matt Damon reunite in this look at the controversy over "fracking" which is a technique used to extract natural gas from the earth. Frances Mcdormand and Damon who work for the gas companies, come into a small town hoping to sign the towns people up to use their land. They come into opposition from an aging teacher wary of the environmental consequences (Hal Holbrook) and later a full on anti fracking activist. As Damon spends more time in the town his once steadfast ideas about what his company does begins to slip.
I am kind of divided on this one as there are some really well done aspects too it. The performances are uniformly good and Van Sant directs beautifully. Unfortunately it's just too predictable and cheesy to really make that much of an impact. Damon's romance with a local teacher is the worst kind of cliche not only have we seen it done much better before but we can correctly guess every beat of their plot arc together. Fracking is an issue which I was largely unaware of and while I do believe info of it's benefits and consequences should be known I don't this movie was the best way to deliver that information. For fans of Damon you will get a nice performance here but overall this is a disappointing film.
The Paperboy-A muddled largely horrible movie about an attempt to release a clearly insane John Cusack from jail for some reason or another. Along the way Nicole Kidman p**ses on Zac Efron, Macy Grey mumbles over much of the film, and characters traipse through swamps. What is remarkable for a film with so much graphic sexual and violent content is how boring it is throughout. Also it's never funny which is a huge missed opportunity for a movie as ridiculous as this one. Mathew McConaughy continues his drift away from conventional roles here as he did in "Killer Joe" the major difference is that Killer Joe is actually funny and well written making the disturbing elements merge into the greater story. In the Paperboy the writing is simply just bad, and a sound mix that makes it a film in english that needs subtitles doesn't help anyone.

: Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown), a talented special effects artist known for low-budget films is sought out to help fake the death of a mobster, one Nicholas DeFranco (Jerry Orbach), about to turn state evidence or so it seems. Eventually though he discovers he may have in fact been a patsy in someone else's assassination plot and finds himself on the run from the authorities, many of whom seem more than a little determined to do him in.
This movie starts out being a solid suspense thriller but fairly quickly turns a corner into action thriller towards it second half. It's surprisingly entertaining, sometimes funny, other time suspenseful and one finds oneself liking the leads (Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy as rogue detective Leo McCarthy who's tired of dealing with B.S. each and everyday) here and rooting for them. It's not always believable but is nevertheless a fun action film and provides an enjoyable viewing experience especially if you like 80s style action. ***1/2 out of ***** stars.
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
: While on vacation in Hong Kong, Det. James Carter (Chris Tucker) finds himself getting entangled in helping out buddy and partner Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) as Lee tries to find out who's behind a bombing killing two Americans at the American Embassy. Eventually the pair stumble across a counterfeiting ring and a group of criminals, with connections to the Chinese Triad, pretty determined to do away with them or at least keep them out of their crosshairs.
Honestly, I enjoyed this movie more than the first one. The plot seems a tad less predictable and the action and comedy is ramped up a bit more. I found this one to be more exciting and funnier than the first film. Of course, some of it seriously stretches credibility but there's lots here to enjoy especially the stunt and fight work of Chan but also the comedy featuring Tucker and Chan seems to gel even better here than in the first film. Also adding to the fun are some memorable female characters who seriously kick butt in this film - one Ziyi Zhang as a ruthless Chinese assassin named Hu Li and Roselyn Sanchez who looks smoking as a possible double agent named Isabella Molina. Also this film travels from Hong Kong to L.A. to Las Vegas giving this a Bondesque-lite feel. **** out of ***** stars.

DOGVILLE (2003): The tiny township of Dogville (population 20) reluctantly takes in a woman fleeing from gangsters, but their generosity turns into abuse as they gradually maker her into their slave. It's de Sade's "Justine" played out on the set of "Our Town." Masterful but misanthropic. 4.5/5.

Had a bad sea monster triple feature with my sister today. This is what we watched:
Up from the Depths
A prehistoric predatory fish is causing blood soaked waves at a fancy resort in Hawaii. It's up to a sailor, a female representative of the resort and some science dude to stop deadly fin activity. Sloppy, unintentional funny horror-comedy produced by Cirio H. Santiago. The comedy is really awful. So awful it's hard to tell when they are acting funny on purpose. The rest rips off
The Crater Lake Monster
A meteoroid wakes prehistoric nessi-dinosaur causing waters to turn red at crater lake. It's up to a sheriff, two backwoods friends and some science dude and gal to stop the beasts deadly hunger. Zero budget stop motion terror with some intended comedy. Enjoying this movie more now than I ever did thanks to the Blu-ray (great picture quality).
Spawn the the Slithis
DNA slime mixed with radioactivity mutates into some human fish creature causing folks in Venice, California to shriek with fear. It's up to a journalist, his girlfriend, a skipper and some science dude to stop rubber monster trouble. Bloody PG rated creature feature with intentional humor. There's some dull parts but the overacting detective makes up for it.

I found this list of honey plants at the Melissa Garden honeybee sanctuary's website, and thought my fellow beeks may be interested in the information it provides.
I found this list of honey plants at the Melissa Garden honeybee sanctuary's website, and thought my fellow beeks may be interested in the information it provides.
Interesting that mites don't like coriander and lavender. Thanks.
You're very welcome!
The list has definitely added to my planting list for this year. I already had plans to rip out the front lawn and replace with bee forage, now I'm looking at the back lawn too.
We have a "dry" creek that borders our property. Some native mint grows thick along the bank. When it bloomed there would be thousands of bees of every kind. Bees I could not imagine. I was hooked watching them work. After that, I quit mowing a three foot section the length of the bank. Last year I started leaving large stands of clover in the yard. My wife was not excited about large stands of clover. After explaining I left it for the bees she was ok with it. One thing I noticed, honey bees would mostly move out of the mowers way, the bumble bees would not.
Late this winter, I cleaned out a thicket that was covered in vines and planted crimson clover. Also planted some smaller patches of hubam and ball clover.
Sorry for the long post, it is a rainy day and can't get outside to work much.
Looking at the production figures of honey for Linden.....my name means in German " the corner of the Linden tree" - not a bad name for a Beekeeper.
Shane, seriously sweet setup! I like it. But where in the world did you find Hubam seed??? I'm jealous, I've looked for 6 weeks for a source and have been unable to locate even a teaspoon full.
Since mowing is my least favorite household chore, my plan is to replace the turf grass with creeping thyme interlaced with stands of New Zealand white clover, lavender, Russian sage, and various native wildflowers - creating a wild, windswept meadow look. My goal in life is to reduce mowing to once or twice a year (fingers crossed) while giving the bees a nice pasture. Although I have been known to brake the mower for bees or butterflies. I think they know me and are never in a hurry, because they know I will either wait for them to finish or I will go around and leave that area unmown until they're done. They have me wrapped and they know it, lol.
Max2 - You should be the best beekeeper in the world, with a name like that! Just remember us little beek people, once you sign your book deal & start your world lecturing tour
Turner Seeds had the Hubam clover seed. They are extremely nice to deal with. Mowing is my least favorite chore. Eventually, I would only like to mow very close to the house.
Thanks for the link. I now have a list of great herbs for bees to plant this year. I was surprised to find out about the sunflowers as I thought they were really great for bees - was going to plant a lot (as I like them in the garden) but now, not so sure.
I am not sure but I will be researching it tomorrow. We have rain coming in so I will be able to be inside on the computer. I will post what I find out if you would like. I too have purchased my seeds.
Sparks, MD
That would be great!
So far, the opinion is sunflowers are okay for the bees and they make a good honey. That is from comments from others, not anything scientific so far.
Sparks, MD
some of these figures are a bit hard to believe, but must be true as they are on the computer. would love to know ho these figures we derived. as dad said figures don't lie, but liars can figure.
Thanks for the link to those honey plants. Wish I knew when to plant them.
Well, besides not wanting to mow the front yard, we went one step further. We dug some of it up for planting, but much of it was left to grow wild. What did we get? Dandelions, Tansy, Milkweed, White sweet clover, goldenrod, Ragweed, and wild mint. We added crocus, fruit trees, oregano, peas, spiderwort, and a few others. The bees wave and say thanks everytime they fly by.
Curious to know what would be the best Vetch and Lespedeza species for nectar production?

I am looking into making a honest to goodness honey water and yeast mead. I am looking for your favorite recipe. Especially yeast preference. I also tend to like a bit of residual sweetness. Thanks!
I am looking into making a honest to goodness honey water and yeast mead. I am looking for your favorite recipe. Especially yeast preference. I also tend to like a bit of residual sweetness. Thanks!
5 gallons boiling water + 1/2 tsp DAP
Once water is boiling, turn off the stove and add the dried outer peel of a lemon and about 1.5 gallons of *fresh* orange blossom honey. Cool to 95 F and pitch two packs of D47 (lalvin) Rack into a 7 gal glass carboy and cover the top with saran wrap. After fermentation has begun, add an airlock, and store at 65F. Ferment for 6 months on the lees. Rerack to a five gallon carboy and age another 6 months. Bottle with priming sugar (1 cup) and age 3-12 months in bottles. You can't beat it.
Why the saran wrap?
Bees, brews and fun

I don't like to put airlocks on until I know that CO2 is coming out. Tin foil, empty airlocks, cheesecloth etc will work beautifully. Saran wrap is what's on hand, and its virtually sterile.
I have good tasting water here, so what I usually do is just heat the water up enough to disolve the honey, I use 15 lbs, then fill with cool water. This lets you pitch the yeast right away. I also make a starter the day before so the yeast, also Lalvin 47, is going like gang busters when it's pitched. I put the air lock on right away and I'll it bubbling away in about 12 hours. I'll leave it till it clears, 6-12 months, then rack it. I'll usually rack it twice to get it real clear. Then bottle.
I don't use priming sugar, so that it's not carbonated.
That's fine, but the boiling hot water pasteurizes the honey, DAP and lemon zest. It also gives a beautiful clarity that is hard to achieve otherwise. I forgot to mention that I use the softest spring water possible or distilled water. The mead is sweeter and the flavor finer using soft water with D47. No tannins, salts, sufites or other nutrients should be used is this recipe
No need to pasturize because there are no known pathogins that will grow in 5% alcohol, let alone 12-18%. The thing you want to avoid is off flavors caused by wild yeasts. Having the starter will over come any wild yeast.
As for distilled water, I don't like the flavor of distilled. Go with the best tasting water and you will have a better tasting mead.
Well, true enough about the pathogens but it's really the off-flavor causing agents we worry about. An adequate cell count of vigorous, healthy yeast will supress most bad guys more than enough. Folks make great mead both ways. I'll also say that I don't used distilled water, for three reasons 1) expense 2) taste and 3) yeast do need some minerals for optimum health. With a nutrient-based starter (not just rehydration, or starting on honey or juice, see the old thread on starters) you can largely ignore the minerals; the yeast will bring enough "on board" into the mead to do an adequate job on the vast majority of meads. But on high-OG, high-alcohol, low-pH, underpitched or otherwise stressful-environment meads it may become a factor (stuck ferment or underattenuation). My water here is so soft, for example, that I add 10 ppm Mg (and the resultant sulfate) to those musts, and for brewing beer add that plus calcium chloride as a base water for pH management, then adjust to the regional water of the style I'm brewing if additional hardness is indicated. Without that trace of magnesium the yeast were underperforming consistently.

The honey has enough zinc and Mg. I specifically want my yeast to "underperform" The result is a rather low attenuation and many complex saccarides characteristic of a nice sweet mead with a beautiful floral aroma. Distilled water has no nutrients, odor or flavor. D47 when given nutrients beyond what the honey supplies will create a drier, chardonnay like mead and does not age as well sur lee. The only thing that I would ever change about this recipe would be the zest (sometimes ginger is nicer) or to alter the volume of honey based on its specific gravity and your tastes.
P.S. Orange blossom is a *must* here, and sulfites really make the aroma pretty wonky, esp if you intend to carbonate this mead.
..that and how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb....
Purity Of Essence! Good mead segue. That's a really good point Aspera; somehow I hadn't really thought about the Mg from honey. Even a dark honey would at dilution provide maybe 10 ppm; probably good to get them started. I've never played with manipulating attenuation below potential in meads, though we certainly stress yeasts like that in beer brewing for estery British ales or Belgians.

How about a recipe for just water honey and yeast then? Especially the choice of yeast.
Oh, sure, fine. Keep a Beesource thread on-topic . OK, a little residual sweetness: what kind of alcohol content are you looking for? That will help us pick a yeast strain. As you can see Lalvin's D-47 is a popular go-to guy.
Also read the Introduction to Meadmaking, which has a section on recipe formulation for exactly this. Basically once you know desired sweetness and alcohol levels, it's just math and yeast strain selection. Let us know where you'd like to land between refreshing lawnmower mead and rocket-fuel panty-loosener and we can dial you right in with some suggestions.

You can use the recipe above, just omit the lemon zest and DAP. It really isn't necessary. Depending on your taste, you may want to change the lower the honey/water ratio a bit if you do this, b/c yeast without a nitrogen source attenuates very quickly, causing many "stuck" fermentations. DAP, egg white, yeast extract, malt, yeast hulls and pollen are all reasonable nitrogen sources. D47 is an excellent choice for a variety of meads b/c it does well in low nitrogen environments. I also like 1118 for drier/higher alcohol meads, and the two yeasts blend well together, especially if D47 is used first. 1116 ages quickly, finishes dry and does't taste too bad either. This strain rapidly eats other dead yeasts and seems to require little to no nutrients, but may produce some really bad hangovers if used in this manner.
[size="1"][ January 16, 2007, 04:48 PM: Message edited by: Aspera ][/size]
Choose a yeast with known tolerance. Add honey above the tolerance for it. This creates a sweat mead. How hot with ETOH do you want it?
Mostly what I am after is 12-13% with a nice neutral yeast. I don't like some of the yeasts that leave flavors. Thanks!
If you want a "pure" mead, about 3-3.5 pounds honey per gallon and D47 or Narbonne yeast.
Expect a lot of off flavors if you avoid nutrients, ideally add DAP and also ghostex or similar. Personally I say do NOT heat the honey, sulfite the must instead--same pasteurization, less blowoff of aromatics.
If you want a less pure, but probably somewhat better-behaved mead, go for (for 5 gallons) the same yeast and nutrients, 1 gallon honey in 3-4 gallons apple juice--the apple juice is mild enough to lose all character in fermentation (the aromatics bubble out or get consumed, either way, it tastes like mead, not apple juice, when done), but it provides a bit less hostile environment than just honey.
One last note, if you look on a site like "gotmead", very few people like to use champagne yeast for anything but a dry mead--no point in making a 18% alcohol, 3% sugar mead unless you just like rocket fuel--if you want a sweet mead that reminds you of a "wine", D47 and Narbonne both go to 12-14% alcohol, the difference between 14 and 18-20% is quite noticable.
Aspera, You mention pollen as a nitrogen source. How would I go about using that?

UTSA Spotlight: Laura Groff inducted into Jefferson High School hall of fame
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 2, 2008)--Laura Groff, UTSA volleyball head coach, recently was honored by her high school alma mater as part of the first class of inductees into the Thomas Jefferson High School Hall of Fame. The initial class included professional athletes, astronauts, hero soldiers, judges and philanthropists.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
With such impressive peers from Thomas Jefferson High in San Antonio, it's no wonder Groff has accomplished so much in her journey, which includes the prizes of best all-around athlete at Jefferson, a scholarship to UT Austin and All-American while at UT Austin. She also represented UT at the Sports Festival in Colorado Springs, was a member of the World University Games team in Japan and played professionally in Germany and Chicago. She then went on to coach high school and college teams, and now she is head volleyball coach at UTSA.
"This is where it all started," says Groff. "I took a lot of pride in athletics and my academics too. It was just neat -- I just loved high school."
While in high school, Groff says she avoided the pitfalls of parties and drinking to focus on being a student and an athlete. She credits her coaches for mentoring her and helping her stay on the right path. In her senior year she received the Tommy Nobis Award, which goes to the best all-around athlete, male or female. Tommy Nobis, a former NFL player also from Thomas Jefferson, was inducted into the school's hall of fame along with Groff.
However, like any high school student, Groff was susceptible to the temptations of mischief.
"I was fascinated by the dome," she remembers. "After football games, if the dome was lit red we won the game, and if it was lit blue we lost. My goal was to get up to that thing, and I tried everything I could to climb to the top, but I never got up there."
After high school, Groff accepted a scholarship to play at UT Austin where she was an all-American team captain for the Longhorns and helped guide Texas to four Southwest Conference Championships. She was a member of the National Sports Festival in 1983 and participated in the World University Games in Japan in 1985. In 1992, Groff was named to the Southwest Conference All-Decade Team.
Groff graduated from UT Austin and continued to play professionally in Germany before joining the Chicago Breeze professional volleyball team in 1988. She then shifted her focus from honing her skills to helping others hone theirs.
Groff says she began coaching to give back what her coaches taught her and to help make young women the best volleyball players they can be.
Groff began her coaching career at Hondo High School before joining Texas A&M University from 1990 to 1992. She then moved to St. Mary's University before being named head coach at UTSA in 2002.
Groff has experienced more than most, and while a room full of young faces concentrates on her, like any good coach and great teammate, she is focused on them.
"I hope they know how lucky they are to go to school here," says Groff. "There is so much tradition and pride at this school that I just hope they understand how special it really is to be a graduate of Jefferson High School."

I am a 38 year old who is smart, funny, sexy and crafty. I think it's important to try to be as honest and straightforward as possible. I am a therapist, and it is important to me to work in a field that helps people. I love music, and listen to it as much as I can. If you have any bands to recommend I haven't heard of, I would love to check them out. I am really into my neighborhood, and I spend a lot of time there. I'm a knitter and like to knit out in bars with other crafty people. I have a romantic side that might not seem apparent when you first meet me, but I promise, it's there. I am looking for a man who is intelligent and sexy and funny, and can appreciate a smart . I am very open minded and very liberal, so while the person I date wouldn't need to share all my view points (how boring!) we should be somewhere in the same vicinity. I would like to meet someone who appreciates romance, but is also able to exist independently. You should be on your own journey, but able to be a partner in a relationship. The ability to communicate effectively is really important to me as I strive to be that way. You should at least be tolerant of the bad movies and tv and music I love, and maybe even find it charming. My music tastes includes all kinds of stuff from indie rock to classic rock. I love to check out new restaurants (when I can afford it) and also like to cook. Most of all I want to find someone who is respectful and compassionate, because I feel like those are qualities that are so necessary in a relationship.

The Destination
Tennessee Williams once said that there are only three cities in the United States: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. What do they have in common? For one, a unique cultural richness embodied by the cities' historic architecture, their obsession with food, and their dedication to the arts. It's a trio that inspires romance, a sense of timelessness and ambience that lends these places an air of inimitable authenticity. And so it is in New Orleans, a place that isn't so much stuck in the past as it is a tribute to its roots—good food, good drink, and good times, among them. Laissez les bon temps rouler, indeed.

Mercedes-Benz and Michael Schumacher have announced a long-term partnership which will extend far beyond motorsport and Formula 1.
Schumacher will mainly be involved with the development of the Mercedes-Benz safety and comfort systems Intelligent Drive and represent the company as an ambassador. For many years the seven-times Formula 1 world champion has been working on road safety; as a partner he will support Mercedes-Benz's involvement in this field.
As a racing driver Schumacher's motto was: "If you don't go forwards, you go backwards". He motivated himself and his team to achieve new developments and top performances. Now he is placing his expertise at the service of road users by searching for the best solutions for safety on the roads, together with Mercedes-Benz.
"The future interests me much more than the present and past," said Schumacher.
"During my Formula 1 time I always believed that you must not allow yourself to rest on your laurels, but that you must continuously try to improve. In so doing I was often able to rely on the help of all the technologies available to me in the car and use them to my advantage. That is why I am a declared supporter of driving assistance systems in the racing car and in the road-going car."
Dr Joachim Schmidt, executive vice-president Mercedes-Benz Cars, sales and marketing, said: "We are proud that Michael Schumacher, the most successful and best-known racing driver in the world, is again joining us as our partner. Right from the time when he was a Mercedes-Benz junior and of course in the last three years as a driver in our Formula 1 team, Michael Schumacher has always been committed to our company's projects. This is why it is only logical for both sides to pool their expertise and know-how and to use them for enhancing driver assistance systems and thus improve safety on the roads within a partnership."
Schumacher will be making his first appearance as a partner of Mercedes-Benz on May 1, at "Handelsblatt Pathfinder - The future starts today".

Oops: Bush administration officials were wrong to prevent a budget expert from giving Congress estimates of the cost of Medicare legislation, congressional researchers have concluded. In a report made public Monday, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service said efforts to keep Richard Foster, the chief Medicare actuary, from giving Democratic lawmakers his projections of the bill's cost - $100 billion more than the president and other officials were acknowledging - probably violated federal law. Foster testified in March that he …Read More »

APCNews 124 – Visualising data for democracy
APCNews 124 – Visualising data for democracy
APCNews – July 12 2010 – Year XI Issue 124
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
The third report from APC and Hivos in the Global Information Society Watch series is on "access to online information and knowledge to advance human rights and democracy" (http://www.giswatch.org/). It reveals how vulnerable the internet as we know it is and unpacks key issues – including open standards and access to educational materials and libraries. For the first time GISWatch also includes an innovate section that visually maps global rights as seen through an analysis of Google searches, as well as a visual analysis of tweets sent out during the 2009 Iranian political crisis, which we feature in this edition of APCNews.
Visualising information: Are my rights the same as your rights?
MONTEVIDEO (Richard Rogers, Fieke Jansen, Michael Stevenson and Esther Weltevrede
for GISWatch) – In a unique study, researchers from the Netherlands asked, if you type the word "rights" into Google.co.uk, do you see the same types of rights in the top ten search results as if you type "derechos" (rights in Spanish) into the Argentinian Google? The answer is no. The search results showed that the "rights of the over-indebted" is unique to Ivory Coast as was the "right to education in a native sign language" to Finland. The results –which have been turned into a unique rights-map— together with an analysis of tweets during the 2009 Iranian election crisis are published in Global Information Society Watch 2009 which highlights the use of online information for advancing democracy and human rights.
Cambodia announces observation centre to end violence against women
CALGARY 8 July 2010 (LC for APCNews) – As part of its plan to bring an end to violence against women in the country, Cambodia's Ministry of Women's Affairs will set up a Gender Issues Observatory, the first of its kind in the country. The news was announced at a workshop organised by the Ministry and APC member Open Institute as part of the Take Back the Tech! To end violence against women initiative in twelve countries.
Fighting illegal logging in Bulgaria's forests
SOFIA (BlueLink for APC) – campaign to expose illegal logging is a new wall against the extinction of forests in Bulgaria. The campaign combines digital tools and green activism in an online system for filing whistle-blower alerts.
Revolutionary blogfarm for Hungarian activists
BUDAPEST (Green Spider for APC) – APC member in Budapest, Green Spider, is challenging Facebook and YouTube by offering a home-grown Web 2.0 suite for Hungarian activists. "In the face of the overwhelming monoculture of corporate social networking tools, the service has taken off amongst grassroots activists, community organisers and charities in the Hungarian social and environmental movement," says Green Spider. http://www.apc.org/en/node/10738/
South Africa and online pornography: Bill sets off alarm bells in women's movement
JOHNANNESBURG (Sally-Jean Shackleton for GenderIT) – A draft Bill proposing a ban on sexual content on the internet and cellphones submitted to the South African Department of Home Affairs in May 2010 claims to have the best interests of women and children in mind but has set alarm bells ringing in the women's movement. "The Bill equates women with children –taking a protectionist approach to the rights of women— and promotes state censorship," says Sally-Jean Shackleton, director of Women'sNet, a feminist technology organisation based in Johannesburg.

Anthrax is a rare but serious illness caused by a spore-forming bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax mainly affects livestock and wild game. Humans can become infected through direct or indirect contact with sick animals.
There's no evidence that anthrax is transmitted from person to person, but it's possible that anthrax skin lesions may be contagious through direct contact. Usually, anthrax bacteria enter the body through a wound in the skin. You can also become infected by eating contaminated meat or inhaling the spores.
Signs and symptoms, which depend on how you're infected, can range from skin sores to vomiting to shock. Prompt treatment with antibiotics can cure most anthrax infections. Inhaled anthrax is more difficult to treat and can be fatal.

Mexican term for opium poppy worker. The person who slashes the poppy so that the "goma" will exude. During the 1950's, the term was used to describe people who worked in the opium business in the golden triangle of Mexico (where Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua meet in the Sierra Madre Oriental). Un gomero is a male, una gomera is a female.
In the 1950's, a nickname for people from Culiacán Sinaloa was "gomero". Los gomeros from Sinaloa were also called "gangsters with huaraches".

The rise of boot camps and TV programs such as The Biggest Loser are encouraging men to opt for a quick fix to weight and body image problems, with six, eight or 12-week "fat to fit" programs increasingly popular.
"They're a lot more common I think because they follow the boot camp phenomenon," says Matt Thom, founder of Fitness Kick and former winner in pairs fitness at the World Fitness Federation Universe Competition. "They're popular because they're quite intensive."
The fast track to a new body is marketed as the fast track to a new life, but does the reality match the hype?
"The market has shifted towards men," says Mike Jarosky, personal trainer and author of 40 Days as a City Caveman. "Overhaul, get ripped. New body, new life, and so on. A lot of this is perpetuated from Hollywood as well.
"So what we see on TV, magazines, the net, has raised the bar for an ideal physique. We're becoming a nation of extremes. We're either obese as the statistics say, or we are ultra-fit.
"Bigger cars are better, bigger homes are better, bigger bank accounts are better, bigger boobs, and so on ... so aren't bigger muscles better too?"
For 42-year-old gym owner Tony Cordin, transforming his body was as much about self-esteem as physique.
"I had elements of depression," he says. "My body was reflecting my mind. It was a slippery slope."
Stressed, depressed and caught up with work, he had not noticed his body slowly ballooning. "I went from training every day to rarely training, but still had the belief that I was an exerciser," he says.
After a holiday of eating and drinking indulgently, he didn't recognise himself, so when he saw an advertisement for a natural fitness/bodybuilding competition, he thought it was a good chance to initiate change.
With 12 weeks to prepare, he broke his regime into three parts: "Acclimatisation – getting your body used to training again; building a foundation of strength and developing muscle; and then cutting up."
He says he exercised for only 30 minutes a day, five days a week, and while in the lead-up to the competition he cut carbs and was dehydrated, he insists his transformation was healthy and has made him happier.
"Now I'm sharp as a tack, as good if not better than I was in my 20s," he says. "It's sustainable – [I ate] meat, vegetables and brown rice. I wasn't sitting down with a dry celery stick and crying about it."
Thom says a two-pronged approach to diet and fitness is the key to making a kickstart program last.
"If the nutrition plan isn't right you won't go from fat to fit. A good body is made in the kitchen and polished in the gym."
Jarosky says the changes must be manageable if they are to be maintained, otherwise such transformations are just another fad.
"If somebody prescribes a quality diet with fresh, healthy, and tasty food mixed in with an exercise plan and education about why you are doing what you are doing? Then yes, this can lead to positive lifestyle change in the short and long term."
It is what Jarosky, who went from fat to fit in just 40 days, self-prescribed.
"My lifestyle was one of [an] energy drink for breakfast, mall food for lunch, convenience store snacks, pub food for dinner and drinks with no exercise, and bad sleep," he says.
"I simply looked at each element and made a healthy plan to turn each one of those things around – a healthy breakfast, water, fruit/veg, a lot less booze, salmon/spinach and quality exercise with better sleep.
"I didn't know what was going to happen, but I just believed in making an investment in my health so I could avoid diabetes, heart disease, and the serious weight gain I was experiencing. My body absolutely loved the change, and it responded quickly."
In spite of the positives, fast body overhauls are not always healthy.
"Red lights would be group training, or under the umbrella of boot camp and being yelled at," Thom says. "If you've gone from the couch to that, that's a red flag. It is just [starting at a] level that's way beyond them straight away.
"The injury risk can be quite high. Exercises should be personal-best-based – for instance, 'do push-ups for 30 seconds', not 'do 30 push-ups'. Everyone is different – there's not one formula for everyone.
"If you're going to get results, it needs to be individually focused and tailored. And there's a lot of bad nutrition advice out there."
Bad nutrition advice includes the popular protein push, Thom says.
"High protein obviously works, but is not sustainable for life – you can become a protein zombie. We need carbs and fats. Wholefoods takes longer, but you won't bounce back – it's a life thing."
Jarosky agrees. "I become more wary of overhauls that include protein supplements and other pills that are unnecessary when making a lifestyle change.
"Protein deficiency is not an issue in Australia, so overhauls that require protein are merely making big margins when you make that purchase. You don't need pills and powder – let food be thy medicine, right?"
Jarosky and Thom both believe that ultimately six, eight or 12-week body overhauls can act as a kickstart to positive, long-term change. But the focus should remain on consistency, not the quick fix.
"The biggest risk of these transformations are the 'I want it now' mentality," Jarosky says. "I preach patience rather than the 'now'. As long as you eat well, drink well, and exercise it's only a matter of time. Be patient, and it will come.
"Fat to fit can't be done with some pseudo light switch in your body, so you have to think about making small, positive changes in the short-term while committing yourself to a long-term, healthier you."

Patriots prepare for playoffs
The Pequot Lakes Patriots finished the regular season with a 28-26, 25-14, 25-17 victory over the Crosby-Ironton Rangers in Mid-State Conference volleyball action on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
"It took us a while to get going in the first game, but we won a close game," said Pequot Lakes coach Kate Dale. "Overall, we did play pretty well."
The Patriots improved to 4-1 in the conference and 18-7 overall following their seventh win in their past eight matches. Pequot Lakes is seeded fourth and will host No. 5 Frazee in the first round of the South Subsection 8AA playoffs on Thursday, Oct. 24.
"It's a good time to start," Dale said of the playoffs. "I think our girls have come together as a team, and they have confidence in each other."
Dale said the Patriots haven't faced Frazee this season.
"I don't know a lot about them," she said of the Hornets, who are 12-13-1 overall. "Frazee, Wadena-Deer Creek and Breckenridge were all close in the (section) rankings for the fifth seed."
The Pequot Lakes/Frazee winner advances to the subsection semifinals against the winner between top-seeded Perham and No. 8 Pelican Rapids on Friday, Oct. 25.
C-I dropped to 0-5 in the Mid-State Conference and 2-22 overall.
Pequot Lakes statistics:
Ashley Abear 1 ace serve, 14 digs ; Justyne Litzau 7 ace serves, 7 kills, 2 blocks, 3 digs; Amanda Nies 8 digs; Jessica Nies 1 ace serve, 2 set assists; Morgan Lohmiller 3 ace serves, 5 blocks, 6 kills, 7 set assists; Vanessa Lane 4 ace serves, 8 kills, 1 dig; Laura Squires 9 digs; Katie White 6 ace serves, 9 kills, 3 digs, 13 set assists; Korina Ruud 2 kills, 1 block.

'Memphis Boys' face local judge in bank robbery cases
5 related suspects accused in four holdups since mid-December
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Authorities are still trying to learn more about the five related men arrested Thursday for a series of bank robberies.
Darius Marion, Deshuna Marion, Leviticus Marion, Terrell Marion and Davarius Greer are facing charges of robbery and conspiracy. Police said the men are in their 20s and are brothers and cousins.
Police believe the suspects are from Memphis and are associated with a criminal group known as the Memphis Boys. The group has relatives in the Colorado Springs area and had committed only minor crimes until the bank robberies, police said.
"There seems to be a constant influx of these people," said Sgt. Dale Fox, a police robbery detective. "They're coming and going from (Memphis). They may be coming and going to lots of places but this is the only place we're really sure of."
Fox said Terrell Marion apparently was the ringleader of the quintet and allowed his comrades to commit the robberies at four banks in town. Court records indicate Terrell Marion was on probation for a 2006 bank robbery in the Memphis area.
Deshuna Marion would arrive at the banks an hour before the robberies and "case the joints," said Fox.
"The suspects would run in, jump the counter and were extremely aggressive even though weapons weren't shown," said Fox. "They sometimes had screwdrivers. I have my own theories as to why they wouldn't carry a gun, but I don't know that for sure."
Fox said two suspects usually covered their faces and entered the bank while two others waited outside. On at least one occasion, he said, they fled in a stolen vehicle that they later abandoned.
Fox said police caught the suspects after the latest robbery on Thursday, as they drove onto the parking lot of the Pine Creek Village apartments near Academy Boulevard and Airport Road. Police received a tip that the suspects might go there after the holdup.
The suspects were caught by surprise, Fox said. The only trouble came when one of them tried to run away but was quickly apprehended.
According to court records, the five suspects have combined for 10 prior charges in El Paso County dating to 2000 -- including menacing, theft, illegal drug involvement and traffic violations.
A judge set bond on each suspect at $200,000 and set the next court date for Jan. 30.
The bank robberies occurred Dec. 11, Jan. 6, Jan. 13 and Jan. 23.

2008 GTA IV video mission walkthroughs made unavailable
Grand Theft Auto IV - Website Updates | @ 08:58 PM MDT | By rappo
Instead of posting here tonight to announce our GTA IV video walkthroughs, I regret to inform all of you that they will be made unavailable until further notice. We were building quite a following on YouTube the past couple days with our GTA IV videos of main and side missions, and you can still see the few that survived. Unfortunately, today YouTube took down most of the videos because of a copyright claim put on them by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive. Some of you may have spotted the videos here on GTAGaming earlier, but they too are now missing.
After emailing Rockstar about the issue, we were informed that full songs, cut scenes, and missions from GTA IV cannot be posted online in video form (fairly upsetting news given our days of work towards the videos). As a result, we'll just be keeping up with text walkthrough for the time being, which contains the following content:

Bare with me because I know this will sound crazy to some of you!
The old timer that I purchased 3 established hives from in July never medicated any of his colonies, including the 3 I purchased. He has been keeping bees for 25 years with pretty good success. I also know someone else in the area that has 10 hives and he has never medicated his bees.
Being pretty new to this I was wondering if I should let my colonies be and not medicate them this fall or is this to big a risk? The hives have tons of bees, honey, and pollen. In observing them they seem to be very healthy, however I know that can change. I have researched bees and beekeeping for 2 years now. I like the idea of not medicating, but at the same time I don't want to loose each hive. I have noticed about 10 mites on the bees in my inspections over the past 2 months. Will they have a harder time making it through winter if the mites are heavy? I am just getting ready to start sugar syrup feedings so I have to decide what to do. I am curious to hear any of your ideas on this?! (Go easy on me, I am still learning) Thanks!

The Pats don't have a 1st for this season. I imagine they'll pursue Danny Amendola if they can't work something out with Welker.
They are one of the few teams who have a lot of CAP space and could easily make an offer we wouldn't match. Cruz would a great replacement for Welker. The Patriots are usually awash with draft picks. This season here's what they have
1st Round (#29 Overall)
2nd Round (#59 Overall)
3rd Round (#91 Overall)
7th Round (Bucs – Aqib Talib)
7th Round
I don't know if they have any compensatory picks in the wings but from the looks of what they do have, I don't see them giving up their 1st.
Last edited by RoanokeFan; 02-10-2013 at 05:51 PM.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
The Pats have 4 picks; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th. There is no way they are going to give up a 1st rounder for Cruz. The Pats need to fix their secondary and will probably go for a DE/OLB in the second and take a developmental WR. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats look to move up for Trufant in the draft.

I also planted basil seedlings. It is way too late I know, but hopefully I can get a couple of months of leaves from them. I have missed basil so much, I usually plant it three months ago!
And I popped in a couple of bush beans. I will plant more when I have sorted out my pots better.

A few rooms in the Gallery are dedicated to temporary exhibitions, which are on display for a shorter period of time (usually a couple of months). There are around 40 of these each year; some have an entry charge.
If an entry fee is charged, it is listed on the exhibition pages of this website under What's on. Tickets can bought online as well as at the Gallery at the information desk. For details of concession eligibility, see frequently asked questions.
Our exhibitions are usually organised around a particular theme. For example, they might show the work of just one artist or of many artists from one place or period or art movement; or they may bring together the work of artists from different places or periods who share something in their subject matter, ideas or approach.
At the Art Gallery of NSW, our temporary exhibitions usually include works from our collection, which we show alongside works borrowed from other galleries, museums or private collections. Sometimes, the exhibition showcases works from just one other collection (usually overseas), which people in Sydney may not otherwise see.
There are several exhibitions at the Gallery that are held regularly, although they feature different artworks each time. These include the annual competition exhibitions for the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes along with ARTEXPRESS, which presents a selection of works from Year 12 visual arts students for the NSW Higher School Certificate, and the biannual Anne Landa Award for video and new media arts.
We also send some of our exhibitions on tour to other venues.

Former Financial Aid Director for New England School of Photography Pleads Guilty to Mail Fraud
Boston, MA... A Dorchester man was convicted today in federal court of mail fraud involving federal student loans.
United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan and Gary Mathison, Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General, announced today that KEITH MAGEE, age 34, of 380 Talbot Avenue, Dorchester, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge George A. O'Toole to five counts of mail fraud.
At today's plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that MAGEE was the Financial Aid Director for the New England School of Photography located at 537 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts during 1997. MAGEE used a variation of his last name, "McGee", to apply for federal student loans for himself. MAGEE submitted at least three separate loan applications to local banks, misrepresenting himself as an enrolled student. In each case, in his capacity as Financial Aid Director, MAGEE certified that "McGee" was an enrolled student. As a result, MAGEE received federal student loan money totaling approximately $14,000.
Judge O'Toole scheduled sentencing for September 29, 2003. MAGEE faces up to 30 years' imprisonment, to be followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a $1 million fine on each count.
The case was investigated by the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadine Pellegrini, Deputy Chief of Sullivan's Major Crimes Unit.

Re: pizza stone - how to use
I only have a piece of granite that is usually used for floors that I use as a pizza stone. I just washed it and made sure it was completely dried through before I used it for the first time - no idea if you are supposed to do anything else, I didn't. Did it not come with instructions?
You preheat your oven with the stone in it. The idea is that the stone is hot and evenly releases the heat to make a crunchy bottom crust.
Put your stone on the lowest rack in your oven and preheat to the highest temperature (about 250°C)
Prepare your pizza on a floured surface. When oven is preheated slide the pizza onto your stone and bake for 7-10 min. until done.

Re: pizza stone - how to use
thanks for the advice, i'm going to be nervous about sliding a topped pizza onto a hot stone, less toppings for the first few i think!
it didn't come with any instructions which i thought a bit strange. but thanks to your advice i now don't need them anyway.

About the sliding:
Do it at a flat angle and you are fine
If it sticks use a spatula or something to loosen it and help it along

A dusting of polenta acts like loads of little ball bearings and helps it slide on a treat.

Re: pizza stone - how to use
Just use some of the semolina (like polenta but from wheat not corn) or flour from your dough

Re: pizza stone - how to use
Any sort of oily substance will sink into your pizza stone and come bubbling out each subsequent time you heat it up, so be careful not to get any oil on it. I made the mistake of reheating home-made hashbrowns on a hot pizza stone (i know, duh) and was never rid of the oil ... eventually just threw the thing out.

If you only use it for pizza it should not be a problem, as you won't be mixing flavors... We spilled melted cheese on ours several times, cleaned it, but some fat remains in the stone (as mia said) - no probs though

Re: pizza stone - how to use
To be honest, when I have melted cheese spilled on the stone I wash it. For the one time a month that I use it I don't want old cheese half burned getting a nice green punk hair style of mold on top
If you use it daily it will probably burn off before causing problems....
