Priebus to run for another term as RNC chair
Reince Priebus will run for another term as chair of the Republican National Committee, he announced in an email sent to committee members Friday.
"When I return the week after Thanksgiving, I intend to make an official announcement that I am running to continue on as your Chairman, but I wanted to let you all know first," Priebus writes in the letter.
Priebus notes in the email that over 130 RNC members have pledged their support to him — well over the 85 needed to secure a victory.
He'll get no argument from me.
The job of the RNC is to raise cash and distribute it wisely. And while we lacked many, many things this last election (like a strong bench, a candidate who could run on Obamacare, competent Senate candidates, effective minority messaging, and someone who could write a computer progam worth a damn), cash was not one of them.

He did a great job. Wish him the best of luck.
ArkyDore on November 16, 2012 at 11:49 PM
There's no need to replace Priebus. He goes on MSNBC, CNN and other liberal media networks and doesn't come off crazy and that's half of the gig. The other half is raising money. Also, he doesn't go out and personally attack people like Rush, Palin, etc. so he doesn't go after the base, unlike some politicians. *cough* *Romney* *cough*

I've got no problem with him. Just stay neutral in the Turf wars and you'll do fine.

Whoever gets the job the first thing they have to do is start developing GOTV technology to compete with the Dems.
Mark1971 on November 17, 2012 at 12:04 AM
Priebus is a vote rigging crook just like Boehner, and since the Republican Party is crooked it seems appropriate that they'd remain leaders of the crooked party.
If the votes they rigged at the RNC aren't revoked soon then all of the people who claim they are going to save the Republican Party from the inside are wasting their time. There is no way to challenge the GOP establishment anymore, they have complete control.
Step one is to undo that rule change. Unless and until you can do that a new party is a necessity.

By my reckoning, your opinion is worth a warm bucket of spit with regard to this issue. You urged voting against Romney and the Republicans at every turn, and have demonstrated yourself to be hostile to the GOP every time you're asked. Even the so-called "true conservative" candidates did not meet your impossibly high standards since you simply asserted them to be puupets of the "GOP establishment," whatever the hell that is these days.
As the chairmanship of the RNC is a Republican matter, and not subject to the whims of Gary Johnson voters (or is it Obama voters? Never can tell the difference…), this oughtn't concern you.
KingGold on November 17, 2012 at 12:17 AM
I do not believe I will ever vote for another Republican again. Certainly not unless those rule changes are undone. We know the votes were rigged because the results were written on the teleprompter in advance, which is only possible if the vote is rigged. In this case the evidence is clear, Priebus and Boehner are un-America, un-Democratic, cheating, lowlife scum!
FloatingRock on November 17, 2012 at 12:20 AM
The Republican Party needs to be cast away, quick, and everybody who has not been corrupted needs to start a new party to replace it. Sort of like in Alice in Wonderland when the Mad Hatter tells everybody to change places at the table.
Everybody, change places. Everybody but the crooked class will start a new party and Priebus and Boehner, among others who were caught cheating, are persona non grata. People caught insider trading who are lucky enough to be too powerful to go to jail. You're kind are not welcome in my party and certainly not at the top of it.
FloatingRock on November 17, 2012 at 12:24 AM
Seeing as I generally dislike the idea of immediatly tossing people under the bus, and that he did most aspects of his job well, keeping him on for another two years is fine.
I will state however, that during these next two years he needs to rebuild the GOP GOTV machine in several states, and start prepping some good candidates for the midterms.
The later is especially important to start on now. We were REALLY hurt by bad candidates, and my understanding is that it really does take awhile to build up a good bench of potential players.
GOTV is important too, but at least some infrastructure for a good get out the vote machine is in place from this years national election. Obviously it needs a lot of work, but at least we're not starting from scratch here.

You mean like vote rigging?
Have you seen this video? Doesn't vote rigging bother you in the least?
I find that a lot of Republicans here feel as you do. They're just fine with vote rigging and insider trading and generational theft.
That's why the Republican Party can't possibly appeal to young people and racial minorities. The Republican Party is every bit their enemy that the Democrat Party is.

Okay seriously, I've been hearing this occasionally in the past week, and I've just got to say, the sentiment is pants on head stupid.
In America your options are, to vote for a major party, vote for a third party, or don't vote. Voting for a third party doesn't work because of the spoiler effect, most third parties fall closer to one of the primary parties and so generally take votes from one of the two. If we used an automatic run-off voting system this wouldn't matter, but as of yet this hasn't happened.
The other option, is not to vote, which all in all is another even dumber thing to advocate. Simply put, elections only represent those that have showed up to vote. If you do not vote, you have zero say over who represents your congressional district, state, and country. In other words, if you do not vote you have zero say, zero representation, and zero influence. Even voting for a failing candidate is better then that, as at least there your disapproval is at least on record.
Finally, if you do not like the leadership of a party, then work to change it. This doesn't mean ad hominem criticism either, it means voicing your concerns, trying to convince others of the validity of your arguments, and supporting candidates you feel are more representative of your views.
What you are doing in this case, is convincing people whom may agree with you on some issues, to "stop," voicing their opinions, and to withdraw whatever influence they might have.
Not only is this foolish, but it is ultimately self defeating, it is the one and only way to absolutely guarantee that your views and beliefs will never gain serious political traction in any forum.
In other words,
WolvenOne on November 17, 2012 at 12:45 AM

FloatingRock on November 17, 2012 at 12:39 AM
This again.
Dude, I've talked to multiple people that were on the floor at the convention. The vote was there, the Ron Paul folks were merely being disproportionally loud.
Besides that, I heard that the Ron Paul backers broke several rules of their own, and engaged in all sorts of mischief in the days leading up to this. You can pretend that your side is all righteous and innocent, but the truth is that backers of Ron Paul have engaged in all sorts of underhanded bull crap this year.
To be clear, as I've said a few times before, I actually do like large swaths of Ron Paul's platform. However, there is a certain cross section of his supporters that I have absolutely no use or respect for.
WolvenOne on November 17, 2012 at 12:50 AM
FloatingRock reads like a concern troll or a closet prog.
WeekendAtBernankes on November 17, 2012 at 1:07 AM
This actually brings me to an important subject.
Many Ron Paul backers did their platform a tremendous disservice this year. During the primaries I met many people whom initially had a good impression of Ron Paul, and agreed with many aspects of his platform. Many of these same people would have been fully willing to support somebody with a similar platform in the future, at least initially.
Later, a lot of this good will was destroyed when Ron Paul supporters came through the state after the caucus, and tried to use the more arcane party rules to directly elect Ron Paul delegates. It actually didn't work here, but regardless the anger afterward was such that many individuals I talked to outright forgot why they liked Ron Paul in the first place.
I've heard similar stories in other states where this happened as well, where ever this tactic was employed the Ron Paul campaign completely burned through their good will, and offset much the the influence they had managed to build up earlier.
To be fair, I understand that you were trying to nominate Ron Paul for president, but tactics matter. Either way your candidate was going to lose, it was a foregone conclusion well before the primary was over. However, had backers of Ron Paul respected the initial votes and conducted their campaign with greater integrity, they would have ultimately exercise far greater sway over the direction of the party.
Take a look at Romney for example. While he was a losing candidate, it is widely accepted that he was extremely effective at talking about economic issues. Future candidates will likely look at his, and particularly his first debate with Obama, as the gold star benchmark to reach when talking on the subject. In that regards Romney's campaign will have influenced future Republican candidates for years to come.
Yes, winning is always better than not winning, but even in defeat you can exercise a great deal of influence over a political parties overall direction, if you play your cards right. Ron Paul's career and campaigns will have an influence on the direction of the Republican party, but it would have been a greater influence had his supporters carried themselves differently.
Also, as long as we're talking about the influence of failed Presidential candidate, I suggest taking a look at the career of Barry Goldwater. Despite failing as a candidate, he was ultimately very influential. His presidential run in particular is often cited as having had a great influence over Ronald Reagan.
WolvenOne on November 17, 2012 at 1:14 AM
Is Floating Rock a Democrat? I am sure nominating another politically correct Michael Steele will be much better for our fundraising capacity. I am sure Floating Rock knows all the details and can give us a better person for the job.

Priebus raised a ton of money. He also put together the Wisconsin GOTV that helped Walker romp. The one that the Romney campaign did not use.
By all means, bring him back. And get Wisconsin's operation scaled up nationwide over the next four years.
Gordon Winslow on November 17, 2012 at 2:42 AM
Reeses Pieces – stunning loss in the Presidential Election – sorry GOTV effort.
Yeah – he's a good pick for y'all.
The Republican Party needs better candidate selection, an end to "next in line" selection for Presidential candidates, better GOTV, and an embrace of Tea Party politics. None of which I have seen from Priebus.

Sekhmet on November 17, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Next in line selection is used by the GOP to make sure that crazy, unelectable candidates don't get through like Santorum or Gingrich this time around. I'd agree with you if and when there is a field with two or more viable candidates. The GOP should actually do something similar in the primaries for the different Senate races, so that O'Donnell, Angle, Akin, etc. don't slip through with 30%. Perhaps have you had a job in the last two years and what are your feelings on rape should be standard candidate interview questions.
(BTW, in 2010, the IL GOP rigged the IL primary for Mark Kirk because it was a prize seat. Kirk is a moderate on social issues, but is good on fiscal issues and defense and plays well in the Chicago suburbs, where IL elections are won and lost. They didn't select a moderate candidate for the Governor's race, the guy who won didn't play in the IL suburbs (war on womenz), and the IL Rs lost four House seats in 2012 due to gerrymandering.)

How Do I Clean and Maintain My New Gun? What Else Do I Need?

NATO's officials today confirmed that a secret weapons research facility located in Reims, France, was destroyed by unknown forces. This confirmation is the latest in a recent wave of attacks that have occurred in Europe, North America and Asia in which advanced weapons facilities have been attacked by highly organized troops. These attacks, which apparently focus on the capture of advanced biological and chemical weapons, have resulted in over 1900 deaths in the past 4 months.
Sources within the pentagon suggest that the organization behind these attacks is none other than the International Liberation Army, which had previously been believed destroyed.
Last year's conflict between the United States and the terrorist forces known as the Independent Liberation Army (ILA) seemed to end after U.S. Forces won a series of decisive battles culminating in the destruction or capture of all known ILA forces. However, recent information suggests that the ILA General believed to have perished in "Operation sand strike" may have survived with the assistance of unknown allies.
Rumors have intensified in the past week, as it appears that the ILA may have found a sponsor among the governments known to be friendly to extra-governmental organizations in the past, but the precise relationship remains undetermined at this time.
Both NATO and the U.S. State Department refused to comment on this allegation, but an article posted on NATO's website directly addressed this contention:
"NATO also needs the means to defend its forces and members against new kinds of attacks. This means developing effective defense against weapons of mass destruction fielded either by rogue states or terrorist groups or by some sinister combination of the two"

Earlier today, we got to check out the Lindsay Lohan promo videos for her upcoming stint as host on Saturday Night Live this weekend and right now, we get to check out video from her upcoming interview on The Today Show tomorrow morning. According to Lindsay herself, she has given up partying for good … she is now a homebody … and she is clean and sober. Now … as much as I would LOVE to believe her, I simply cannot. BUT, I do believe that if she is serious about cleaning up her act then she is on the right track. Click below to check out L. Lo's interview on The Today Show to see for yourselves what she says about her new outlook on life.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
In an exclusive interview set to air in full on TODAY Thursday morning, Lindsay Lohan tells Matt Lauer that she is "clean and sober" and she wants "to continue to move forward and in the right direction." The actress, who will host "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, also told Lauer, "I still need to go through the process of proving myself." Lohan, 25, is one court appearance away from putting her legal troubles from a 2007 drunken driving case behind her. Lauer asked her if, when they spoke last, the actress was in denial. "Definitely," Lohan said. "And I think it was — it's a scary thing to have to kind of express to people … I wasn't as comfortable with myself then. I think it was a fear factor that I had about what was really going on. And, you know, I had to get that wakeup call." Lohan also told Lauer that the temptation of night life and parties is something she's avoiding. "That's not my thing anymore. I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn't fun for me. I've become more of a homebody. And I like that." Lauer says he thought about Lohan when Whitney Houston passed away recently and asked the actress whether news of the singer's death registered on a personal level. "Not really. That's kind of a scary, morbid thing to discuss," Lohan said. But she admits that one can "fall into that world" of substance abuse that robs talent. "I've experienced things like that … and it's a really sad factor that can come into play in people's lives sometimes if you don't recognize it." It may be her change in lifestyle, or at the least the perception that there has been a change, that will help the actress get back to work. "Do you think people have gotten back, or can get back to the point where they trust you?" Lauer asked. "In other words, professional people? You know, if they say to you, 'Come host 'Saturday Night Live',' that's a big commitment. And do you think the producers and directors of movies and television projects are going to get back to the part where they can go, 'You know what? Yeah, we can count on Lindsay. We can bank on her?'" "I think that that's gonna take — I think that takes time," Lohan said. "And I think that it's actions. Because people can say things all they want, but I think I still need to go through the process of proving myself, you know, with 'SNL,' being on time, being, you know, keeping my — can't say the word — but stuff together." Lohan offers details on reports that she's set to play Elizabeth Taylor in her next project. "We're in the middle of casting and figuring — we start production soon," Lohan said. "I've been doing tons of research. But I've always kind of researched her. She's always been a fascinating woman to me. So I'm really honored. And I will not let anyone down, especially myself." Asked about that need to qualify her commitment, Lohan says she understands how it might be scary for people to invest in her. "I don't want people to have that reason to be scared anymore. So being able to have this opportunity with 'SNL' and the film, I'm gonna do what I'm supposed to do, and enjoy doing it, and do it as best as I can."
At this point, Lindsay is talking a good game … but, sadly, we've heard it ALL before. She's made it a habit to appear on The Today Show from time to time to swear up and down that she's gotten her life in order and that she is a changed person. It's impossible to believe. I know there are people out there who want to take her word at face value but she's done this sort of thing far too many times to be believed. I do believe that she has it in her to change her life and clean up her act … but it's gonna take a lot more than just talking about it to make it so. If she is serious about staying clean she will have to SHOW us rather than tell us. I look forward to the day when she can say things like this and we can honestly believe that she is telling the truth.

The Emerging Market Power Rankings: A Week for the Losers
Each week, I'll highlight the best performing emerging-markets single country exchange-traded funds, using the most heavily traded for each nation. This week's list is dominated by resource-dependent emerging markets that had been hit hard by the commodity slump this year.
#1 The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI): +2.5%
One of worst-performing emerging countries this year, China rallied despite a weaker-than-expected HSBC Flash Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index and reports that its leaders were more worried about financial risk than economic growth. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index ETF has dropped 8.7% this year.
#2 The iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF (TUR): +2%
Turkey kept up its strong performance this year after declaring an amnesty for tax evaders with cash overseas and the Kurdistan Workers' Party set a date to withdraw from that nation. The iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF has gained 7.4% this year.
#3 The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX): +2%
Russian stocks gained this week as oil rallied 3,3% this week and President Vladimir Putin gave its central bank his support. The Market Vectors Russia ETF has dropped 12.1% this year.
#4 The iShares MSCI South Africa Index (EZA): +1.9%
South Africa's stocks rallied as gold surged 4.6%, pushing miners higher, and its producer-price inflation rose to 5.7% in March, from 5.4% in February. The iShares MSCI South Africa Index has plunged 12.7% this year.
#5 The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ): +1%

Reviews of this property
For four nights we were billeted Apartments in Castel. All worked perfectly. Joao gave us a transfer organized by the hotel and received us Apartments. The location of the apartment has thoroughly enjoyed it. Walking distance to the city center is super accessible. The area with its winding streets and small-minded restaurants we liked very well. We felt right at home. The apartment we thought was very generous. Pretty, well furnished and clean. Even a washing machine was available. Fresh linens and plenty of towels are in apartment. Joao gave us at the beginning valuable tips to Lisbon, and declared on the map which is where you will find. He's a really good host. We had a question we could contact him via SMS. We felt very well cared for :-) And Lisbon is more than worth a visit! Thanks Joao, I would not hesitate to book with you again. Kind regards Nadia and Vanessa from Switzerland.
Für vier Nächte waren wir im Castel Apartement einquartiert. Alle hat perfekt funktioniert. Joao hat uns einen Transfer vom Hotel organisiert und uns beim Apartement empfangen. Die Lage des Apartement hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Zu Fuss ist das Stadtzentrum super erreichbar. Die Gegend mit ihren verwinkelten Gassen und den herzigen kleinen Restaurants hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir fühlten uns richtig heimisch. Das Apartement empfanden wir als sehr grosszügig. Hübsch, gut eingerichtet und sauber. Sogar eine Waschmaschine war vorhanden. Frische Wäsche und genügend Handtücher sind im Apartement. Joao hat uns gleich zu Beginn wertvolle Tipps zu Lissabon gegeben, und auf der Karte erklärt was wo zu finden ist. Er ist ein wirklich guter Gastgeber. Hatten wir eine Frage durften wir ihn per SMS kontaktieren. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt :-) Und Lissabon ist mehr als eine Reise wert! Danke Joao, ich würde jederzeit wieder bei Dir buchen. Liebe Grüsse Nadja und Vanessa aus der Schweiz.
Joao is very friendly and considerate. Despite our late arrival, he took time to welcome us and give us complete information about the apartment and sites to visit. Little message mid-stay to see if everything was going well that was the case. His apartment is very well located, 2 steps transportation: tram 28, subway, shops, restaurants. Only regret, not having stayed a few more days ...
Joao est très sympathique et prévenant. Malgré notre arrivée tardive, il a pris du temps pour nous acceuillir et nous donner toutes les infos sur l'appartement et sur les sites à visiter. Petit message à mi-séjour pour savoir si tout se passait bien ce qui a été le cas. Son appartement est très bien situé, à 2 pas des transports: tram 28, métro, commerces, restaurants. Seul petit regret, ne pas y être resté quelques jours de plus...
The owner can arrange transport from and to airport. Very convenient. The apartment is clean and well equipped and all is functioning. The neighborhood is idyllic and astonishing quiet and you sleep well. When you walk a few minutes you are in the center of Lisbon with beautiful places and streets, and there are Metro, busses and tram. The sympathetic owner can tell some good restaurants nearby, if you are to tired to explore the good restaurants in Lisbon.
Nice apartment located near a lot of attractions. Joao is a very helpful person, so I have no problems recommending this place.
joao has been a really nice and helpful hirer and the flat is perfectly located to explore the city & theres everything available in there that you´ll need to have a good time!! just can recommend it :)
I would recommend this flat to the travellers who want to spend few days in Lisboa. We were 2 couples and stayed 3 nights.
This is a nice and clean flat, well-equipped with everything you will need (sheets, blankets, towels, kitchen stuff... even some coffee for the breakfast ;-).
It is located in the city center of Lisboa, 2 mn by walk from the praça da figueira, close a shopping center and close to the famous cafe Chapito and a nice local restaurant owned by 2 sisters...
Nice and modern apartment in the old center of Lisbon. Very comfortable near to castelo de Sao Jorge and good point to explore the city.
A very nice, modern equipped apartment in the old centre of Lisbon. Being for the first time in this city, it is a good starting point to explore the old, authentic quarters Alfama, Baixa and the Castelo de Sao Jorge. The small local restaurants and the fado restaurants are a 'must'.

appartement bien tenu et propre.
quartier calme et populaire.
très bien situé pour découvrir Lisbonne entre l'Alfama, le Castelo et la Baixa.

text: Posture and movement assessments are an important part of designing an exercise program. While clients often express a desire to lose weight, tone or shape their bodies, or improve their overall fitness levels, one primary objective of all training programs should be to improve functionality. In other words, a training program should also help people enhance their ability to perform their activities of daily living (ADL). One key aspect of functionality involves movement efficiency. Through posture and movement assessments, it can be determined what muscles may be impacting the client's ability to move. These posture issues can then be addressed with exercises and stretches in a stability and mobility program. In each assessment you are looking to see what posture error is occurring and which muscles are compensating for the deviation. You are looking for which muscles are tight and which muscles are weak. Tight muscles need to be stretched with a flexibility program and weak muscles need to be strengthened through a strengthening program. Here is an easy process for determining what muscles are involved in the compensation. 1. Look at the posture the client is exhibiting. What action is occurring at the joint you are assessing? 2. What muscle is the agonist (prime mover) for this action? 3. The agonist muscle is the tight muscle that needs to be stretched. 4. What is the antagonist muscle to this action? 5. The antagonist muscle is the weak muscle, which needs to be strengthened. Take a look at these helpful blog articles, which lists the most important muscles. Muscles That Move the Leg Muscles of the Core Muscles That Move the Arm Muscles That Move the Scapulae When reviewing the information in these articles, remember that each action has the opposing action listed below to show easy differentiation between agonist and antagonist muscles. Let's do an example together: During the Hurdle Step movement screen (page 154), one of the deviations being examined is the movement of the knees. 1. The client's knee is moving inward (into the midline). This action is hip/knee adduction. 2. The agonist muscle group is the hip adductors. 3. The hip adductors need to be stretched. 4. The antagonist muscle group is the hip abductors. 5. The gluteus medius and minimus need to be strengthened. Don't forget to complete each posture assessment on yourself or on a friend or family member. Every time a muscle is mentioned, use your exercise science manual or the articles above to find the muscle, then locate the muscle on your body and understand the actions it causes. This is also a great time to look ahead to Chapter 9. What exercises could address weak muscles? What stretches could address tight muscles? For the hurdle step screen example, you could incorporate the Hip Mobilization exercise (page 267), an adductor stretch such as Seated Straddle Stretch or Seated Butterfly Stretch and the Lower Extremity Alignment exercise (page 289).

Thank for sharing MP, I've over wintered nucs before too but still gleened some valuable info.
Thank for sharing MP, I've over wintered nucs before too but still gleened some valuable info.
Will Gruenwald Chilliwack BC
All my queens are mated between early June and early August. I see no difference in how they lay or how fast they build up. One difference I do see...
My over wintered nucs with queens raised the summer before build up faster and seem more productive than splits made in the spring with bought queens...even though the spring splits are made with equal amounts of brood and bees as in the wintered nucs have.
Brother Adam said that queens are better the year following their mating. So, he wintered over all his new queens in nucleus colonies, and used them the following year.
Dee Lusby goes even further. She says a queen in her first year is a juvenile, one in her second year is a teenager, and only queens in their third are fully mature. I don't know.
Thanks, Michael. So basically it sounds like from what you have seen, the broodless period for a nuc is to too different in length from the broodless period for a production hive, but is shifter forward by a few weeks, right? Later stop to brood rearing and later starting back up...
Have you ever tried stimulating your nucs to start laying brood at the same time as your production hives by feeding light sugar syrup or pollen patties or both?
Michael, do you think your overwintering late season made nucs somehow enables you to be varroa treatment free or does it simply produce enough new colonies to replace your varroa losses or is it some combination of both? Or have I missed something entirely (always a strong possibility)?

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Once the foragers are bringing in pollen from foraging, is there any value to continueing to feed pollen patty? Does feeding pollen patty and sugar syrup into the spring extend the lifespan of the foragers and allow the colony to build up a bigger cluster more quickly?
>>So with either a couple frames of pollen stores close to the broodnest OR with the addition of a pollen patty, the nucs will start brood as early as the production colonies, right?<<
I never really compared nucs and production colonies. I don't look in big colonies much early to find out just when they start. I'm more likely to look at nucs. I do know, they'll start earlier if they have stored pollen. A couple frames of pollen seems much. It's more like pollen scattered through the broodnest and covered with honey or feed.
>Once the foragers are bringing in pollen from foraging, is there any value to continueing to feed pollen patty?<
No, not here anyway. They'll stop taking protien patty when there's natural pollen.
>Does feeding pollen patty and sugar syrup into the spring extend the lifespan of the foragers and allow the colony to build up a bigger cluster more quickly?<
Don't know about worker longevity, but the increase in cluster size would be from increased brood rearing due to availability of protien.
Thanks for the response, Michael. Here in the Bay Area, my bees are already bringing in a TON of pollen, but they also continue to avidly consume the pollen patty I have given them. Even when inspecting the hive in the middle of a warm day when the foragers are busy bringing in pollen, there are bees all over the pollen patty feeding on it.
When this latest patty is consumed, I have to decide if I am going to feed another or call it quits. I read somewhere that feeding of pollen pattys and sugar syrup preserves the wings of the foragers and allows them to live longer than the three weeks they last when they have to fly to forage. Living longer ought to translate into a bigger cluster size and more brood more quickly and accelerated growth to production size, but it sounds like that is not an option in your area where they ignore the pollen patty as soon as fresh pollen is available. Any opinions on what to do in my situation appreciated.
Why not look in the broodnest? Examine combs...the comb next to a frame of open brood for instance. There is where you will find the fresh pollen...right next to the brood that needs it. Clever those bees.
If you feel there is enough natural pollen in close proximity to the unsealed brood, and you're seeing the pollen flow continuing, I would say you can stop with the patties.
Thanks for the suggestion, Michael - I'll have a look after the current patty is consumed...
Great thread, very informative. How critical is it to overwinter the nucs over a strong hive? I have invested my time and limited carpentry skills making up 2 story nucs. Maybe I should have been converting old hive bodies to side by side nucs. In New England, can a 5 frame nuc survive as a stand alone, or will they need the heat from a stronger hive below?
When using a deep hive body to overwinter 2 nucs, do most people in the north use a screened bottom board with the tray in all winter or a solid bottom? Also, how critical is it to overwinter the nucs over a strong hive? I have invested my time and limited carpentry skills making up 2 story nucs.
[QUOTE=Mosherd1;649580 How critical is it to overwinter the nucs over a strong hive?
In New England, can a 5 frame nuc survive as a stand alone, or will they need the heat from a stronger hive below?[/QUOTE]
I'm not so sure the nucs need any heat from below. I've seen times when the production colony died in the winter and both nucs survived. For my area, I think it's more important to get them up and out of the snow. If they're buried in snow they can't take a mid-winter cleansing flight if the opportunity arises.
I haven't wintered a five frame single story, but many expanded to two story...doubles. They winter well and don't need to be elevated.
I have reread this thread twice in the last couple of months but there is one question I keep coming back to. If I make up these nucs in July when the flow has seriously slowed down here in CT, will I need to feed the nuc or will the frame of honey be enough to get them to the fall flow?
Should be enough.
I have read and reread this thread a half dozen times. Really is interesting. Here is a thought but please correct me if I am wrong. Someone takes 3 of their production colonies (to keep the math easy). If 2 out of 3 colonies make it to spring statistically, why don't we just break up every production colony (strong and weak) in mid July (of course this would mean skipping the fall flow) into 5 nucs each giving us 15 nucs and if 33% do not make it to Spring then we have 10 hives instead of 2 (66% of 15 instead of 66% of 3). This logic might get blown out to the water if these nucs have a worse failure rate than 1 out of 3. Does this make sense? I 100% agree with the idea of breaking up the non productive colonies, but if we can increase the colony survival this dramatically it might be something to consider for all colonies, strong included.
Mosherd, your logic seems correct. Is the answer in economics? If you break up those strong colonies - would the income lost from the fall flow not gathered by those colonies be outweighed by the potential sale of overwintered nucs and replacement bee costs not incurred in the spring? Since this thread was started in 2007 I understand that Mike has been selling more bees. I wonder if he is at the stage of sacrificing honey-making potential for nuc making potential.
I have re-read this thread. Last winter was brutal here in the mid-west. As an experiment I made up two 5 frame nucs in a divided box from swarm cells. I added another divided box with honey on top. One side died out early. The other side survived and thrived. For such a low investment of time and materials it was worth it. This winter I plan to overwinter 10 and see what happens. One thing I learned was that I don't like the management of the divided box, so I made a bunch of 5 frame boxes and plan to push them close together as soon as the weather gets really cold.

Secret Society… *shhh* it's secret…
Wanna be in on a super secret society? The kind with special handshakes, ominous logos, and secret meetings? Meetings with cupcakes?
Of course you do.
Well..ssshh… don't tell anyone, but you're invited to join the exclusive secret society of Embroidery Megalomaniacs Inc.
What is EMI exactly? We're a top secret group working covertly to take over the world with embroidery that doesn't suck. Vanquishing lame teddy bear samplers, banishing bad embroidery. You know the type. We've been around for ages, we were just really secret about it.
What do you need to do to join?
If you're an embroidery biz owner, an etsy seller, stitchy blogger or otherwise crafty stitcher who's working for our cause and making, sharing, or promoting cool embroidery, whatever kind, you can be a member. All you must do is have a dedication to take embroidery to new, cooler heights.
To join, and show off your (super secret) membership to this club, you can either create your own EMI logo with our tagline, (it makes it harder to track that way, we're sneaky like that) OR use our provided logo, by right-clicking the image above and choosing "Save As". Then upload the image onto your site, store, blog, whathaveyou and embed the following code with it.

Meetings conclude secretly, at no particular place or time, but I'm sure they would involve a really cool old looking building and cupcakes. All secret societies have cupcakes. The only reason they don't advertise that is, well, cause they're secret.
Finally, the first rule of Embroidery Megalomanics Inc. is you don't talk about Embroidery Megalomanics Inc. But you may blog, tweet, or facebook it.
Good day to you members. I'm off to go work on my evil lair…
P.S. – Looking for a slightly softer version of the tagline? Here ya go

Town Square
Helping Down Town business
Original post made by Don, Downtown, on Nov 9, 2008
I am suggesting a ticketed restaurant sampling afternoon or evening. Because everyone is watching the pennies the tickets would be reasonably priced. Say in the $20-$30 range for a couple. Have 3 to 5 restaurants prepare an appetizer that the ticketed couple could sample. The public would go to the participating restaurants and try the samples then move to the next over a 4 hour or so period. In the fallowing months the remaining businesses would have their turn. Over the next four or five months all of the eating establishments would have an opportunity to win customers and help during this hard times.
I have not worked out the economics but it should be profitable to the business. This is achieved by the volume of customers purchasing tickets before the event. Publicity and council support would help generate the numbers needed. Themes and special events/days could be tied into this as well. It should not take a lot to get large numbers (hundreds) if done right were everyone feels a benefit. This would let the staff prepare the correct amount of food based upon the sales. The public would benefit by learning about a place they have never been to before and have a night/time out without blowing the budget.
Just some thoughts. Any other ideas. Hope some of the council will note this as the start of how to help downtown.

Can we stay focused here, rather than turn every thread into an anti-Mormon diatribe?
I like this idea, I would certainly be interested in attending a round-robin style downtown event such as this.

I know I would be interested in a sampler's menu option to many of the high-end restaurants. We are willing to pay for a good meal, but after finding one or two places that we like and feel is worth the money, it's hard to break out of that routine and risk a bad night out (and wasted $$) on a different place.
I like when the places downtown offer early bird specials. This has always brought us in the door and we don't even have blue hair!

I like the idea, especially if you include a wine sampling to go with it (maybe for an extra charge).

The restaurants aren't the only businesses that are hurting. Retail is probably suffering much worse. In the past, restaurant-centered events did nothing for retail as people eat and leave. And in the past when restaurants were flush with business, they weren't particularly interested in pairing up or doing events with retail. If we want a downtown of restaurants and banks, so be it. If we want a downtown with retail, then it's time to start doing business with the retail stores on and off Main Street. Your choice.
If the mayor and city council want to help,perhaps they could do what they did back in the early 90's when Main Street was newly refurbished ---throw some money into advertising the downtown. Promote not only locally but in Fremont and other towns since Main Street is enjoyed by many nonresidents.
On the other side of the coin, retail and restaurants have to offer what people are looking for so maybe in these tough economic times, it's time for the owners to take a close look at what they offer the public. And the landlords have to be realistic about rents they are charging, and maybe even do some upgrading and better maintenance on their buildings.
Any way you look at it, downtown Pleasanton will end up being what landlords, business owners and residents want it to be.

Certainly there is more to our downtown than just restaurants (& bars). That being said, the clothing, knick knack & jewerly stores need support too. Personally, $200 blue jeans & overpriced vases are not something that appeals to me or my neighbors. Something needs to change re: inventory & price expectations with the downtown merchants before I will shop there for items. Gone are the days when money grew on trees in the backyard & downtown Pleasanton merchants have not adapted to this economic environment.

Kim, Thanks for a thoughtful, and correct, statement about restaurants not participating with retail merchants. The facts is that getting people downtown for any reason at all is good but you are right, people eat and then leave. If residents want more than food and banks it is up to them to spend money at the retail stores. It is possible to find just about anything in one store or another.
You comment that landlords need to be realistic about rents, maintenance, etc. Actually, they don't. Most of those buildings are owned outright by long time owners who really don't care how long they stay vacant. They do not need the current cash flow, they are just holding onto an illiquid asset and waiting out the market. It would be nice to "make" the landlords be less greedy, it just won't happen.
The mayor could help downtown by patronizing it. Not just spending her own money (although no merchant I have ever spoken to recalls hosterman actually buying anything downtown). Several other posters on different threads have said that the mayor needs to hold her city council retreat downtown. What an idea! The retreat is to benefit Pleasanton so have it where the money spent will benefit Pleasanton. If anyone knows how to get that one idea through to hosterman that would be the best first step in revitailzing downtown. Care to take that one up Kim?

There's much to offer downtown everyday. A variety of prices, products, and activities. A great place to start looking is What's Up Downtown on Web Link. The restaurants and merchants have recently joined together with reciprocal dining- shopping coupons available with purchases. Amarone Cucina Italiana
is a fabulous new authentic Italian restaurant. Amelia's Deli and Stacey's Cafe have both added new social events.
The Magical Holiday Evening is Friday, November 21 from 6-9. This is great way to check out all that Downtown has to offer.
and... yes, Mayor Hosterman does indeed shop downtown.

This is a good discussion, but something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is that our city recently contributed millions of dollars to support our downtown businesses. The council--including Mayor Hosterman--spent over $7 million of city funds to acquire the county's transportation corridor located downtown for both parking and a pedestrian/bicycle path to encourage people to come downtown.
Add to this another $8.8 million in city funds approved by the current council to help build the Firehouse Arts Center to create a destination and breathe cultural life into our city that will help promote and revitalize our downtown.
While these expenditures make sense, I'm not sure we should be asking the city to spend our tax dollars to advertise or bail out private businesses. That's not the role of city government. People who open up shops or start a local business take a risk and need to be nimble enough to offer what people want in products and services to keep their doors open.

The comment from a fellow Birdlander is just not true.
Since when is downtown only about "expensive vases and jeans"
My goodness, have you gone into every shop downtown and that is all that you found?
There is so much variety- home furnishings & accessories, wedding gowns, children's clothes, VERY reasonable jewelry made my local artists (Kim Pace's neat jewelry comes to mind- $30 earrings and necklaces under $100- made right here and sales tax will be paid here)
Scrumptious baked goods from numerous bakeries. Fresh food!
Take out food galore, pet accessories, kitchen gadgets, cooking lessons! Wine, Cheeses, hair, nail services.
Books, Bike rides, runs throughout Pleasanton, toys, art, VERY reasonable clothing for teeaagers, and on and on.
How about locally made products, made, cooked, composed and written RIGHT HERE. We have a Pulizer prize winning resident author for goodness sake.
Stop with the negative about downtown and get out and take a look - oh yea, buy something too! It will make you smile.

I agree with C that's me, to a point. Those things ARE downtown (though not in the abundance that he/she represents), but the dominant thing down there are banks and salons, two things even the most astute of grooming aficionados can only take so much of.
I'm not sure how a Pulitzer prize winning resident author living in Pleasanton is a draw to downtown.
The bottom line is, until restaurants stay open later (Midnight, not 9pm), until stores stay open later ("Who's Open After 5" is pretty much useless), and there are more places to go grab a late drink than the seriously deficient Redcoats, downtown will languish as it is right now.
With Domus gone (a good browsing store but also one that closed too early), nail salons taking over, and Pasta's on its way out, they need to rethink and get things done before Dublin opens up their own version with better variety and later hours.

Perspective it important which allows "threads" like these to continue....I've lived in Pleasanton for 14 years, my husband graduated from Foothill....when Hopyard was "hops"....
I do not know one person who has purchased "home furnishings" or "wedding gowns" from downtown merchants. Donuts (baked goods?) go to Jelly Donut on Valley & Hopyard, not downtown. Bagels - usually at Noahs or Starbucks. Great breads are purchased at Trader Joes, Genes, even Safeeway. Take-out food - maybe downtown, maybe. Pet accessories-please. Petco, Pet Express, not downtown - way too overpriced. So much for the business plan there. And, yes, I have 2 dogs.
Wine....cheese...back to Trader Joes, Genes...even Safeway. Downtown? no. Hair & nail services....maybe, with a gift certificate. There are plenty of quality hair & nail business NOT DOWNTOWN for way less. Books....library, not Towne Center Books. Bike rides....trails. streets, sidewalks, whatever, they don't involve spending $$ downtown. Toys? JR Doodlebug - maybe.
VERY reasonable clothing for teens? Please.
Also Pulitzer Prize winning resident + downtown = zero. Timothy T has it correct.
On the plus sisde, looking forward to Firehouse Arts Center. HUGE plus for downtown Pleasanton. Something to draw people there besides another italian restaurant or over-rated Mexican.
Keeping the City Council Retreats in Pleasanton is a GREAT idea. Downtown or wherever...as long as it is in Pleasanton. But take that further....why are both our high school proms in San Ramon & SF? Why not have Pleasanton hotels, restaurants, corporate faciilities host these events?
Perspective is important. These are trying times. It is not about getting out and "taking a look" - this is reality.

A follow up regarding the posts concerning getting out and "taking a look" Although I agree, Downtown has potential and is certainly not the best it COULD be yet. I think the resident of Birdland's comment regarding expensive vases and expensive jeans was the typical comment from someone who doesn't frequent downtown. In the past one to two years there have been many new shops that have opened that have contributed to various price points and various product offerings. I know it's easy to have visited stores in downtown once a few years ago and write the downtown area off as an over priced small grouping of retailers. But that just isn't entirely the case anymore. Again, I do agree that the downtown is lacking in more retail shops and with the other posters concerning later hours, have you seen the streets of downtown after 8pm, it's a ghost town. If the shop owners stay open late, will it pay off? Remember folks, if you actually took the time to really shop downtown you would realize these shops are owned and operated by families, there's more to it than a corporate office of Trader Joe's or Safeway. Did anyone know there are growers that come as far as Fresno every Saturday to participate at our Farmer's Market to support their families? I am not saying anyone should over pay for anything, but some of us like frequenting the convenient large chains and some would rather spend time at these mom and pop shops that offer the same if not better products most of the time. So how do we change this cycle? I think the Mayor and City Council really need to get involve and offer incentives to not only shoppers but also shop owners. I noticed the current Mayor Jennifer Hosterman noted on her summary about herself she successfully launched a "keep your shopping local" campaign. I wouldn't have called it "successful" and that is part of the problem. Does the city really even care about the merchants or whether or not people are frequenting downtown, or is it just easier to let the status quo continue without seeking loyalty from both merchants and shoppers alike.

A lover of downtown - I agree, the city is not there to bail out the private businesses. However, taking responsibility for the environment in the downtown district concerning restrictions to allow a better shopping environment to promote shopping (tax dollars) I believe is a duty of the city. Why is there not an ordinance controlling the number of service related, banks, salons etc, frequenting the retail store fronts of downtown? There are roles the city should be involved in, as far as bailing anyone out, absolutely not. There's been enough of that from government lately.
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Nov 13, 2008 at 7:33 pm
That's an interesting concept, passing a law (zoning ordinance) that controls the numbers of certain entities that can exist in a particular geographic area. Normally the geographic area is defined to be a category of use, which allows certain types of entities to exist within that area. To understand this one can study our current zoning map.
The poster's suggestion would be novel. For example, let's take PUD-C and go further and by ordinance dictate how many car repair shops and tire stores are permitted in an area that is so zoned. Hey, if this were a communist society, no problem!

I have a few friends that own businesses downtown and their biggest problem is rising rents.
The building owners have high rents, and then they raise them even higher - for business buildings that have low ceilings, are long narrow dark facilities, uneven floors, little downtown parking (most facilities are not designed to use the corridor parking because their entrances are in the front off Main, etc. If downtown landlords want good renters, they need to reinvest in the buildings to make them more attractice to selective stores.
Domus had a nice location and a parking lot, but the building felt like a run down mini-Kmart/5 and dime type store from 1950.
BTW, when will Koln hardware ever be finished?
a resident of Downtown
on Nov 14, 2008 at 8:37 am
Karen -- please read other posts on various threads about the downton landlords. Most of them have owned the buildings so long that they have no mortgage, all rent is gravy. They have no incentive to keep rents down or spend money to improve the buildings. They can afford to have vancancies until the time they can find another bank, mortgage lender or botox spa to pay up. These landlords are also many of the people who spent $25,000 or more to fund the yes on 8 campaign. Someday karma will get them, for now we get to watch the small merchants gradually go away and the downtown turn back into a sleazy and rundown place no one wants to visit. Thanks much you greedy landlords.

on Nov 14, 2008 at 9:45 am
Please don't lump ALL landlords into the greedy bucket. While some a certainly only in it for the money, my landlord has held rent steady for a number of years now because he is aware things are not easy.
Interesting that some of the greedy are very long time Pleasanton residents, who really don't care much about the downtown though. Very few owners own the majority of property downtown.

This is much more simple than people seem to realize. If you value Downtown and the business community that reside there, then SUPPORT those businesses. If you don't they will go away. Please though, do not support them simply because they are Downtown, but hopefully because they are worthy of your business. I sense a lot of confusion between the ambiance and beauty of our Downtown vs its viability as a shopping/dining destination.
There are great individual stores Downtown that to me are "worth" the trip to Main Street. Others I've never been in because they aren't of interest to me. Maybe some posters will tell people of some great places Downtown where they've had great experiences for purhasing holiday gifts this year?

As for long-time property owners being the greedy ones and driving rents up, I think the opposite is true. The long-time owners, Beratlis, Madden, Finch, et. al., are not the ones turning businesses over time and again. The turnover seems to be coming from the newer construction, and newer remodels, where the newer owners have to make a greater return on their greater investment, and pay their greater mortgage...
a resident of Downtown
on Nov 17, 2008 at 10:51 am
While some of the above mentioned have not raised rents Jack, others have with little or no improvements to their properties, and have done so continually. They see others getting $3.50 to $4:00 a ft. downtown, and believe that their un-improved property is worth the same. There are very few properties downtown owned by "new" owners (Kolln Hardware being one). Other than that there has been almost no turnover in building ownership downtown over the last 10 to 15 years.
Also there has been very little "remodel" of any buildings downtown to merit the owner raising rent. The 2 significant remodels I am personally aware of were largely paid for by the tenants making the improvements in return for long term fairly priced rental contracts.
a resident of Downtown
on Nov 17, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Hey, Beg to Differ,
I don't think we differ that much...
An earlier poster noted that the old-time owners will sit vacant until the $3.50 rent shows up. I don't think that's the case here. The old-timers bought their properties so long ago that I think they're content being "under market" but keeping their properties leased, stable and open.
The "remodel" in question was Stacey's...
I do recall when that property was improved, rents were raised and businesses were forced out (The Tux shop comes to mind)...
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Reale nice apartment, well made and we had a pleasant stay. Close to the city centre but quit too. We can recommend this apartment.
El apartamento es muy acogedor, limpio y cómodo. Es pequeño pero perfecto para dos o tres personas, tal cual aparece en las fotos.
Tout très bien! La personne qui nous a accueillis était sympathique. L'appartement, conforme à l'annonce et aux photos, est très agréable, confortable, très propre et bien situé dans un quartier calme, à deux minutes à pied du métro. On va aisément et rapidement au centre de Barcelone (ramblas, Catalunya, Gracia, etc....). Supermarchés, boulangeries, restaurants et autres petits magasins à proximité. Le tout à deux pas de la place d'Espagne...
A recommander fortement !
Ha sido todo fantástico, la recepción por parte de Renata, su interés y eficacia, el apartamento muy agradable, bien acondicionado, limpio, acogedor y bien equipado. Ha sido una estancia muy agradable y repetiremos, sin duda.
Lugar perfecto, piso cuidado, acogedor, inmobiliario de primera.
Muy recomendable, la verdad es que estoy totalmente satisfecho.

The flat is like in the pictures, so it's clean. The location is perfect! It is near to the beach and the metro isn't so far away (5 minutes walk). The Wifi was realy good and fast :) A little supermarket is next to the apartment. We will see us again !
Kind regards from Switzerland
Okey standard. Allthough there was just 2 actual beds, the doublebeds are just thin madresses on wooden planks. The bathroom were really tight, but for a shorter stay its ok. No hot water the firts 2 days.
The girl that received us, Joanna, was very nice and punctual. We had no problem at all receiving the keys, everything was fine and the apartment is near the Tram and the Metro Station, very nice building and neighborhood, as a comment that we saw here, you can eat very good and not so expensive right across the street in the restaurant "Grillo". What we didn't like is that, in the first advertisement was not announced the deposit fee and how much was it, and a cleaning fee of 60 euros either. When we wanted to use the cups, they were not washed well even lipstick was on the edge of one of them and the 4 small ones that we needed were with stains of coffee in the base like they just stored them dirty. But the apartment was very clean and very comfortable and I would recommend it.

Wife recovering after bold move to save husband's life
DENVER, Colo. - They planned to spend their lives together, but their future looked grim. A Colorado Springs woman was recovering in the hospital Wednesday after a bold move to save her husband's life.
When Nicholas Villegas met his wife Lohana, he knew they were a perfect match. He weighed almost 400 pounds at the time and his mom said Lohana wouldn't be interested in him. He is a man of faith, so he prayed.
"(I prayed), 'Lord, Father, God, if there is any way you can, send me a woman that is that beautiful and that kind-hearted,'" said Nicholas. "As soon as I said 'amen,' she texted me. It's been great ever since."
Things haven't always been easy for Nicholas. He said his mom is now a wonderful Christian woman. However, growing up, he said she mentally and physically abused him and his brother.
"The only way I coped with that was by eating," said Nicholas. "I didn't know what high blood pressure meant, me being a young kid, poor kid."
Problems during his childhood would eventually lead to big problems down the road. He was obese and he had high blood pressure. His kidneys failed when he was 19.
"If a doctor has a serious face, comes in, closes the door, you know the next thing coming out of his mouth is most likely not going to be good," said Nicholas, remembering the day he found out he had kidney failure. "He said, 'We have to put you in surgery right away. If you stay like this, in a few hours you could die.'"
Nicholas has spent almost seven years on dialysis.
"Being on dialysis, you're on a machine three times a week for 4 1/2 hours -- I started at five hours -- so it's taking a lot of time out of your day. It's not letting you become who you want to become. It takes a toll," said Nicholas.
Lohana knew Nicholas was her soul mate. After they got married, she asked if she could donate her kidney to him. Nicholas shot down the idea right away.
Nicholas thought Lohana could have complications during pregnancy if she gave up one of her kidneys. The two have a 20-month-old son and plan to have more children.
Nicholas's mother and brother weren't able to donate because of their weights.
Nicholas lost enough weight to go on a kidney transplant list, only to find out the waiting game would continue.
In the U.S., 122,000 people are on the list for organ transplants. Of that number, 98,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant.
There are 1,700 people waiting for a kidney on Colorado/Wyoming's list. There are only 6,000 living donor transplants a year. Nicholas would likely have to wait until someone passed away before getting matched for a kidney.
He spent two years on a wait list for a kidney transplant before he caved.
"I said yes, thinking there was no way on earth that she was ever going to be a match," said Nicholas.
The couple started a series of tests to see if Lohana could be a donor. After six months, they got the all-clear.
"Usually you run into something that would stop it right away. And nothing stopped it," said Lohana.
On Monday the couple went into the surgery at Presbyterian/St.Luke's Medical Center in Denver. Before surgery, Nicholas was nervous while Lohana stayed positive.
"I was more worried about my wife," said Nicholas. "If anything were to happen to her because of her giving me the kidney, it would break my heart."
The recovery process has been painful but the couple knows it will be worth it. They said it's the start of a new chapter in their lives. Lohana has spent the first years of her marriage juggling a job, raising their son, coordinating rides for her husband to dialysis and taking care of him.
Now that he husband is on the mend, she plans to go back to school to be a nurse. She said it's because she is passionate about helping people. Nicholas will be able to work since he won't spend so many hours at dialysis.
"I am living because of her. I'm going to live 60-plus years. I'm going to be able to raise my kids and have more kids with her. I'm going to be able to live my dream because God blessed me with her," said Nicholas.
The two promised to love each other in sickness and in health. Now this perfect match shares even more than love.
The couple's friends set up a Facebook page for people to donate. It's called "Love and Sacrifice. Donate Life."

The Clock
11 Oct 2013 - 05 Jan 2014
Winnipeg Art Gallery, MB
The Clock evokes the wonder and illusionism of more than a century of cinema through a captivating 24-hour looped video that plays in real-time. This remarkable production is composed of thousands of film clips that share references to time and timepieces, and creates a compelling moving image illustration in which theatrical and real time fold into one. The Clock presents a vast range of cinematic settings and moods as time unravels through narratives leading in countless directions which rupture any sense of linear, chronological sequence. It is an extraordinary production that juxtaposes countless segments from films past and present to manifest the concept of time integral to the history of the moving image.
Created by internationally-acclaimed artist Christian Marclay, winner of a Golden Lion for best artist at the 2011 Venice Bienniale and known for his experimental work in sound and video art, The Clock shows how Marclay's innovative artistic practice continues to combine aural and visual sources with a keen sensibility toward complex editing, sampling and looping techniques.

I like this vid I made Cliff Harris is exposed a little in it
Cliff Harris vs Tennessee and Arizona 2010
Blown coverages aside, I just don't think he's physically strong enough to be an everydown player in the NFL. More likely than not he'll be a return specialist who only plays passing downs at the next level, but the question remains, is that worth a 1st round pick?
I say yes, but late 1st round, not top 15 like alot of mocks have him going right now.
I wouldnt want him on my team. I dont care about all the big plays. He is a diva and is way to soft for me
Harris was cited by state police for speeding, and driving without a license. Turns out he's been ticketed for speeding and driving without a license three times in the last 18 months.
Nevermind this guys stock is plummeting as we speak (FYI for those not in the know, he was caught speeding at upwards of 118mph in a car rented by a UO employee)
Im not a big fan of Harris. He is as me first,look at meas they come.He has Diva characteristics
