Andrews, Max. "Paul McCarthy." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.

To label Paul McCarthy's forty-odd years of artistic output as "a body of work" would strain the use of the phrase. With its presumptions of a neatly wrapped-up oeuvre, the phrase is hopelessly inappropriate to describe the breadth of forms his practice has taken: a hole in the wall that's a film, gagging-on-hot dogs performances, giant inflatable sculptures—let alone buffoonery about Osama bin Laden and the Queen of England. Yet the "body of work" metaphor would also be misplaced in suggesting a summary of the more literal corpora that inhabit McCarthy's world. Here bodies inexorably gush—puking, shitting, bleeding, ejaculating, and giving birth in clownish acts of debauchery and depravity, slapstick sex, and sordid secrets.
McCarthy studied at the University of Utah in the late 1960s, making door-size paintings with black oil, and using rags and his hands as surrogate brushes. Several of the thirteen short films collected as Black and White Tapes (1970–1975/1993)—made while continuing his studies in California—extend a kind of perverse painting practice. In Face Painting—Floor, White Line (1972), for example, the artist drags himself across his studio floor, pouring paint in front of him, while in another tape he petulantly flogs walls with a paint-soaked sheet. Of these films, Ma Bell (1971) is most prescient of what was to come in McCarthy's guise as a performer. While smothering each page of a Los Angeles telephone directory to make something resembling an oil-and-cotton wool lasagna, he began cackling and muttering, seemingly with no forethought, acting in character for the first time.
McCarthy's trademark live performances often become well-lubricated, penis-fixated, tragicomic epics—some would last five hours or more—through an increasingly fluent language of costumes, props such as rubber masks and dolls, and foodstuffs like ketchup, mayonnaise, and raw meat. Deranged, improvised, yet repetitive tableaux were tempered with feral desire, castration narratives, and Oedipal trauma. In works such as Meat Cake (1974), Doctor (1978), Monkey Man (1980), and Popeye, Judge and Jury (1983), gender-morphing grotesques that mashed up the human with the nonhuman drew as much on the no-budget teen "slasher" movie as on the ambivalent heritage of the clown. Unlike the real blood-and-guts of the Vienna Actionists—who were concerned with quasi-religious rituals of communion and redemption—McCarthy dredged below the veneer of the "perfect" family and "proper" behavior with a knowingly bankrupt symbolism. In this primordial semiotic universe, "Daddy's Sauce" was capable of representing both diaper-filling excrement and the taboos of incestuous desire.
McCarthy ceased live work in 1984, feeling that his performances had become too theatrical, too vaudevillian (he had preferred a small, invited audience). Focusing on the way in which history and folktales are framed by theme parks, television, and Hollywood, his vocabulary as a visual artist crystallized into a world in which kinetic mannequins depicted tree fornication and bestiality, and fluffy sculptures sported preposterous penises.
Documents (1995–1999) is a little-known photographic series prompted by an invitation to McCarthy to guest edit an issue of the French magazine Documents sur l'art and shown as part of the 2000 Walker Art Center–organized exhibition Let's Entertain. Like a visual scrapbook of installation works such as Bavarian Kick (1987), Rear View (1991), Heidi (with Mike Kelley, 1992), Pinocchio Pipenose Householddilemma (1994), and Mechanized Chalet (1999), Documents' eight panels of photographs abut apparent charm with latent malevolence. The work operates within a culture where the legacy of Nazi terror in World War II Europe can emerge as easily via the camp "Do-Re-Mi" of the movie The Sound of Music as it can in the defense of O.J. Simpson. A shot of a Bavarian castle, which might adorn a chocolate box, is put on the same visual field with one of a waxwork Hitler waving merrily from his car. The fiberglass peaks of Disney's Magic Kingdom clash with Tirolean postcard views, and giant busts of an aptly Wagnerian Siegfried and tiger-taming Roy encounter snapshots of Albert Speer's master plans or greet a Mickey mascot.
The status of the photograph as a document, as the unquestioned bearer of truth, becomes desperately muddled in these juxtapositions, which suggest that Disney's corporatization of childhood is just as tyrannical as Hitler's repurposing of Teutonic folklore. As the artist has written of this piece: "The initial premise was to investigate Hitler's Germany; the Paris, France, Exposition of 1900; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Disneyland, Anaheim, California, each location being a particular vision of Utopia and constituting a geographical straight line from East to West."1 The pitch-perfect, pitch-black tone of Documents seems to elude, just barely, the impression that it has a lesson to teach—it is already too embroiled in conspiracy to parse any blame.

Starting in the early 1970s in Los Angeles, Paul McCarthy gained a reputation for creating grueling, psychologically charged events in which suggestive foodstuffs–including ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot dogs–and intimations of bodily functions played important roles. Largely improvised, his performances and works spare neither the taboo nor the sacred cow, desecrating everything from the family to colonialism to painting. Like other performance artists of his generation, such as Vito Acconci and Chris Burden, McCarthy has tested limits that often seemed as much physical and social as aesthetic. His work explores notions of artifice and spectacle through aberrant behavior that has little obvious political, cultural, or psychological purpose. His transgressions can also act as a tool, however, to provoke viewers to examine the ties between the sacred and the profane, politics and leisure, morality and decadence. Let's Entertain features several dozen photographs from an ongoing series, Documents (1995-1999), in which the artist photographed seemingly innocent amusement parks and Las Vegas architectural elements and juxtaposes these images with Nazi-era city plans and Nazi memorabilia actively collected but often hidden from public view. In McCarthy's viewfinder, these elements congeal into an ambiguous, slightly surreal, re-presentation of the heretofore familiar. As we confront these varied, often disturbing, images of Americana, we come face to face with the alienated spectacle of the American dream. He is also represented by the video Fresh Acconci (1995), a collaboration with Mike Kelley.

Rodney Brooks:
Why we will rely on robots
Scaremongers play on the idea that robots will simply replace people on the job. In fact, they can become our essential collaborators, freeing us up to spend time on less mundane and mechanical challenges. Rodney Brooks points out how valuable this could be as the number of working-age adults drops and the number of retirees swells. He introduces us to Baxter, the robot with eyes that move and arms that react to touch, which could work alongside an aging population — and learn to help them at home, too.

Seagate, WDC, Hewlett Immediate Beneficiaries of Less Tumultuous PC Market, Says RBC
RBC Capital Markets's Amit Daryanani today offered an update on the personal computer market, predicting less extreme unit shipment and revenue declines this year after a "tumultuous" year for PCs in 2013.
Daryanani's "checks" suggest to him PC units will fall another 1% this year, before returning to 4% growth in 2015, after a 10% decline in PC units in 2013.
Things are still bumpy at the moment:
ODM tracker has shown a similar trend of sub-seasonal growth in 2013 that we expect to continue as we enter calendar year 2014. We estimate that total units for the past 12 months came in at approximately 143 million (-11% y/y). Historically, Q1 unit shipments from ODMs are down 10% sequentially, and we anticipate global PC shipments by OEMs down 6% sequentially.
While the story at the end of 2013 was a return to purchases by corporate PC buyers, Daryanani predicts the rest of the market may improve as tablet computers begin to have less of an effect on laptop sales:
The developed markets, notably the US and Japan, are beginning to realize moderate growth. We think PC demand is driven by more than just an enterprise upgrade, as it also likely reflects that tablet cannibalization may be more muted going forward. We see notebooks realizing the bulk of the declines (down ~10%), while premium ultramobiles (e.g., Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 Intel (INTC) x86 products and Apple's MacBook Air) should gain in importance and provide a meaningful offset. Near-term, PC vendors will focus on 1) new form factor innovation (e.g., hybrid/detachable devices) and 2) providing solution sales (e.g., peripheral equipment, PC services and support) to stem the decline in mobile PCs and global PC installed base [...] Tablets have surpassed both notebook and desktop PCs to become the dominant category for computing devices (41% of compute market), although growth should slow as adoption in developed markets reaches saturation. We see 20% y/y growth in 2014 and 19% growth in 2015 on growth in emerging markets as consumers willingly use smartphones and then tablets for initial purchases of computing devices. We believe this market will continue to be dominated by Apple (AAPL).
Here's Daryanani's projection of the split between tablets shipments and revenue (click for larger image):
And here's his chart for how tablets as a percentage of total client computing cross over the 50% threshold in 2015:
The immediate beneficiaries of an improving PC market may be Western Digital (WDC), Seagate Technologies (STX), and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ):
Western Digital, which has ~45% of HDD market and provided a conservative March-qtr guide that was predicated on severe PC seasonality; Seagate, which has 43% of the HDD market; an improving PC environment could place upward bias on HDD units and benefit STX; and HP, as given the company's leading market share in enterprise PCs, we expect that healthy growth in the PC industry could boost HP's revenues and FCF.
While Apple should fair well with high-end laptops and tablets, Lenovo (0992HK) will make inroads with consumers, and HP will mostly look to cost-reduce:
We believe the top three players should fare better than the rest of the industry due to scale and leverage. Notably, we think HP is well positioned on the enterprise side, while Lenovo is best positioned to continue gaining market share driven by gains on the consumer side. We believe HP will continue to look toward 1) cost reductions, 2) supply-chain efficiencies, 3) new form factor innovation, and 4) solution sales, which should lead to profitable growth over time.

From what I have seen suppliers are not dependable to deliver what was paid for. I cannot recall once seeing a post here about a customer not paying. I have seen at least two threads, one covering a span of years about suppliers not delivering.
I have also lived in the reality of what collecting payments is like. I would say a good 50% of customers will receive notification that a product is ready to be shipped and they will delay payment by a week or more. This would never work where bees are concerned.
My paying for anything up front would have everything to do with the reputation of the supplier.

Vochol: Huichol Art on Wheels offers the Museum an opportunity to highlight the artistic ingenuity of one of the many indigenous cultures of Mexico. The Huichol culture includes approximately 26,000 people who live in the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Durango, and Zacatecas. They have traditionally been a nomadic culture, but in more recent times they have settled into more permanent residences in Western Mexico. Some people who identify as Huichol live in rather traditional ways in isolated, rural communities, while others have migrated to larger cities such as Guadalajara for more diverse economic opportunities. Outsiders are rarely guaranteed full access to the sacred customs of the Huichol though Mexican and foreign born-anthropologists, art historians, and others have conducted various studies of the group for a number of decades. Along with the many distinctive customs that characterize their culture is a dedication to the visual arts that is realized most often in the forms of yarn paintings or beadwork applied to select objects. The Huichol are a deeply spiritual people, and much of their traditional artistic output is an extension of their faith. This particular work combines the traditions of the Huichol with an icon of popular culture, the Volkswagen Beetle. Within many Huichol works, as is the case with Vochol, there can be references to animals such as deer (the most revered of all animals), peyote (used as a part of a sacred ritual), and various abstract designs.
Vochol'sbright colors and intricate details meld popular culture and historic tradition in a singular work of art. The name derives from "vocho," a popular term for the Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico, and "Huichol," the common name of the Wirrárika indigenous group. This 1990 Beetle was covered in 2,277,000 beads applied by eight artisans from two Huichol families, who finished their work in late 2010. This installation at The San Diego Museum of Art officially marks the beginning of the international tour of Vochol.

Part I: UTSA opens doors to national political conventions
By Cindy Brockwell
Special Projects Writer
(Aug. 22, 2008)--Confetti, motorcades, flag-waving and wild hats decorated to catch the camera's eye... These are scenes common to the national conventions of both major political parties. Those of us watching from home see carefully orchestrated major productions, but five UTSA Honors College students are getting a look behind the scenes at the conventions.
This week, we profile students at the Democratic National Convention: Peter Sebesta, April Sanchez and Matthew Shelton.
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

>> Check out their convention blog at the College Perspective site.
The opportunities came in part because the students enrolled in the Campaign 2008 honors course taught by Amy Jasperson, UTSA associate professor of political science and geography. The students are participating in a non-partisan academic program through the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars. With monetary support and cameras furnished by Time Warner Cable San Antonio, the students post photos and videos of their daily experiences.
Sebesta, Sanchez and Shelton are in Denver now attending academic seminars and a lecture series before the Democratic National Convention opens Aug. 24. Two more UTSA students will have the same opportunity during the Republican convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul Sept. 1-4. Their pre-convention adventure begins Aug. 24.
Second-year student Peter Sebesta is majoring in architecture. He was born in Denver but has lived in Texas since he was two. Moving from Houston to Austin, he graduated from Dripping Springs High School, where he was in the symphonic, marching and jazz bands.
Sebesta has the privilege of voting for the first time this year. "What better Politics 101 crash course than the Democratic National Convention?" he notes.
He realizes that politics affect everyone. He hopes this experience will give him greater insight on the views of the Democratic Party and the politic process. His political news comes from CNN.com and other Web sites. He also turns to his dad for discussions of politics and world events.
The only senior among our convention-goers is April Sanchez. She's a communications major with an emphasis in public relations. Minoring in political science and legal studies, she plans to attend law school next fall.
Sanchez graduated from Americas High School in El Paso. She started at UTSA as a freshman. "I am very interested in the political process, thanks to my mother, and I have been exposed to the political process for years," she explains. This is Sanchez' first opportunity to vote in a presidential election, and she relies on her mother and National Public Radio for unbiased political information.
Sanchez looks forward to seeing how "theatrical the convention will... or will not be." She admires U.S. Sen. Joe Biden and calls him practical, objective and a great politician.
Students log six hours of volunteer fieldwork during the conventions. Sanchez is working with the Democratic National Convention Committee.
Rounding out the trio is Matthew Shelton. He's the only San Antonio native in the bunch and a graduate of St. Anthony Catholic High School. A political science major, the UTSA sophomore also plans to go to law school after graduation. A run for public office is definitely an option.
Shelton interns for Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson. He also volunteers with the local Democratic Party, but this is his first exposure to national politics. He admires Sen. Barack Obama. "This is the first politician I've been excited about. He has truly inspired me," says Shelton. "He has a message that I can relate to... change."
Shelton monitors the news via National Public Radio, CNN and Current TV. His Denver assignment is with the convention committee housing office, and he'll be assisting delegates from Utah.

Jungle Hideout in the Chiriquí Highlands
Los Establos Boutique Hotel • Boquete, Panama
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room ($299)
- Or, a Five-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Coffee Cottage with Three Dinners and Wine for Two at The Bistro ($699)
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Distanced from the high-rise buzz of Panama City, and removed from the heat of Panama's coastal retreats, Boquete is a small, eco-friendly town 3,000 feet above sea level in the Chiriquí Highlands. Boquete's temperature hovers roughly 10 degrees below those of nearby destinations, which means that hiking through surrounding forests, rafting over foamy rapids, or wandering around coffee plantations is a breeze—and a lot of fun, too.
The Digs
With panoramic views of the Barú volcano, the suites at Los Establos Boutique Hotel—winner of TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Award 2013—are quiet hideaways decked out in saturated shades and regional artwork. Open the door to your private patio to let cool mountain air fill a space that features a spacious bed, a flat-screen television with satellite channels, and a marble bathroom. Accommodations also include bathrobes, Wi-Fi, and nightstand entertainment centers. In the evening, stroll along the paths of the hotel's adjoining coffee plantation, and take a cup on the terrace overlooking the garden.
The Diversions
• Paddle through beginner- to expert-level rapids with Chiriqui River Rafting

Re: Is the LS9 the LSA SC?
Second of all, you can't just add that kind of boost to the Caddy motor because the pistons aren't forged like they are on the ZR-1, and you'll just blow your motor.

Re: Is the LS9 the LSA SC?
I also heard that the pulley on the supercharger is an integral part of the shaft and can't be changed. This may be GM or Eaton trying to tell us something about the engine in stock form, i.e., it's near the limit of boost safe for the internals. The HP estimate for the '09 V is near what people are getting from the LS6 with Maggie and 2.6" pulley, isn't it?
Re: Is the LS9 the LSA SC?
Just because a tiny percentage of 'V' owners will actually want to mod beyond simple bolt-on stuff, doesn't mean GM will engineer the car for it. They already make enough cars that are designed with that level of modding in mind, why take that step with a friggin' Cadillac?
I can hear the engineers now, "who in their right mind that wants a race car, buys a Cadillac?" Understandable I guess. But then, I'll bet there's plenty of H2 owners out there trying to mod their rides for serious off-roading. Go figure.

Re: Is the LS9 the LSA SC?
GM knows some V owners add power. While they do not officially design for that, let's just say margin has been left in the V powertrain design, from end to end. Modders can take advantage of that margin. The VP of GM Powertrain is a car nut and has a whole stable of modified cars.

Its been really dry in California so I decided tonight I'm going to bed in a little while and have myself a dream about an El Nino coming in a few months. Rain, rain and more rain. Big honey flows and all the lovely associated El Nino things like getting trucks stuck in the mud.
If we really get one I was wondering about putting forks on the Buggy shown in the ad below and using it in the almonds for pollination Take a peak at the link and tell me how mean you think this thing would look going into an Almond orchard with forks on the front while crawling through 6 inches of water. Even Harry would be proud of my ride!!!!

OAKLAND -- On the night they won the World Series in 1989, the A's kept their celebration in check. Out of respect for the death toll from the Loma Prieta earthquake, the champagne didn't come out until the TV cameras were off, and even then no one went bonkers.
"Obviously, it was a quiet celebration," Dennis Eckersley recalled. "but it's more memorable because of that."
Twenty-five years later, the '89 champs got another chance to revel in their triumph. This time, there was little holding back.
In a pregame ceremony at O.Co Coliseum, Eck, Dave Henderson, Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson and others basked in the cheers of 36,067 fans during a red-carpet walk from straightaway center field to the pitcher's mound.
In a way, it was the parade they never had.
"All the fans in the stands who think they can manage? They could have managed that team," Tony La Russa, who managed that team, said Saturday, shortly after coming off the field. "What didn't it have? It's as close to perfect as you can find. And I'll put it up against any team ever."
Dave Stewart, the World Series MVP, threw out the first pitch, capping a ceremony that had its sweet moments and its funny ones. Players from the current A's team came out to flank the red carpet, and for laughs, they dropped down low to high-five second baseman Mike Gallego, listed at 5-foot-8. Later, they stood tall to smack elbows with Canseco as the one-time Bash Brother made his way through the gantlet.
Canseco, whose knack for controversy goes back to his playing days, worried about how the Oakland crowd would receive him. But fans roared in delight when he stepped onto the field, and the outfielder tapped his heart a few times in appreciation.
"I didn't know what to expect," Canseco said during a third-inning interview with Comcast SportsNet. "I've been an emotional wreck for a week. The last couple days, I couldn't eat.
"I want to thank the fans, the players and Tony La Russa for accepting me back with open arms. It feels like I'm back with my family again."
Several players who couldn't attend in person sent taped greetings to play on the scoreboard, including Mark McGwire (Dodgers hitting coach), Terry Steinbach (Twins bench coach) and Walt Weiss (Rockies manager).
The last act by the former players in attendance was for each to drop a yellow rose at the pitcher's mound, where a large No. 35 had been etched into the dirt. That was Bob Welch's number. The popular starting pitcher died June 9 at age 57.
Stewart and Curt Young, two of Welch's closest friends, also presented jerseys bearing Welch's name and number to two of his children, son Riley and daughter Kelly.
"Bobby, he was a huge part of this," Eckersley said. "There was something about him that just carried us -- a special spirit."
Some players walked faster than others. Dave Parker, 63, who has Parkinson's disease, took the field from the dugout rather than make the trek from center field. Parker hit .264 with 22 home runs and 97 RBIs for the '89 A's, but his contributions off the field were harder to measure.
"Dave came in full of personality," La Russa recalled. "He had great credibility. Great presence. He was a tremendous addition to our team. I'm very fond of him."
In sweeping the '89 series, the A's outscored the Giants 32-14. Oakland hit .301 with a .964 OPS over the four games, while San Francisco hit .209 with a .595 OPS.
The earthquake that hit Oct. 17, minutes before the scheduled Game 3 at Candlestick Park, disrupted the series for 10 days. But Stewart said nothing could have changed the outcome.
"We would have beaten the Giants regardless," he said. "If (the earthquake) wouldn't have happened, I still think we would have won in four games.
"We believed in putting our feet on the opponent's neck, and we were very creative in how we could beat you. We could beat you with pitching. We could beat a team by hitting the ball out of the park. And we were a defensive ballclub. I mean, we did a lot of things well."

We started at the lookout point in Santa Katerine and the view is of Lago de Apoyo, a beautiful crater lake. The view was gorgeoys. Then we all piled back into the bus and headed to the Masaya market... Another Lonely planet must see as it is supposed to be the best market around and the answer to all souvenir and gift shopping problems!! Ummm, yes, well, no, fine! I think if you were looking for standard tourist garbage that when you get home you look at and go 'omg what was I thinking', then this is definitely the place! We weren't able to find anything that met the criteria of interestig, different and local. Half the stuff was made in China!
After having spent half an hour at the market we were driven to Volcan Masaya to see the crater at sunset which was very beautiful
We then went back to have our last yummy non Nicaraguan meal in Granada and headed out to Lago de Apoyo the following day.

text: I have been in my current job for about a year now. I love the work and I meet many interesting people through my job. However, one of those interesting people is making me a bit crazy right now. Im hoping someone out there will have a suggestion. Our team at work is in charge of marketing for a large college. Many people in our department are spread out through several campuses so we rarely see everyone at the same time. One of the ladies I work with is across the hall from me. To simplify, I do external communication activities while she concentrates on internal. Though there is that distinction, there is a great deal of overlap in our jobs. I was told by co-workers when I started that this woman who Ill call Melissa has many quirks. She certainly does. While I find them interesting and sometimes annoying, Ive tried to just go with the flow. However, shes rude to a fault and can be quite overbearing. She interrupts people all the time, questions you to death over every single detail, and always second guesses everything I do. If I tell her it is raining, she had to go find a window to check for herself and then ask me how long has it been raining, how much, when will it quit, etc. It never occurs to her that Ive just given her all the information I know and dont have any more to give. While all that is annoying, I can ignore her most of the time. We both have offices and keep the doors only slightly ajar most of the time. However, now her behavior is interfering with my job. As I said, our jobs are distinct but similar. For example, a group of our students recently placed in a national competition. My boss obviously expects me as the external person to send that information out to the press. Melissa would like to share that information internally among the staff. I worked with the instructor to craft a release and spent several hours prepping the information for release as soon as the results were announced. Melissa ignored my work and asked that he (the instructor and coach) provide her with the same information personally. The instructor was very annoyed, as he had already worked with me to get the information only to have to turn around and do it again for her, as she wanted it in a different format than the way I needed it. This poor guy was stressed. I had him lined up to do media interviews. He was giving final exams this week and had just traveled for several hours to get back from the competition. This isnt the first time this has happened. I am finding that people will ignore my requests for information if they have already spoken with her since they rightly assume we should be able to share information. I have asked her if we could work together to create a better way to get the information with one or the other of us taking the lead on each story, but she insists that the way things are working are just fine. However, people have come to me asking that I talk to her about the situation and complaining that they are spending too much time answering to both of us. During a lunch with my boss and another co-worker, I brought up the subject. Trying not to complain, I just asked if she knew of a good way we could work together. She brought us both into her office this morning and brought up the subject saying she had received some comments and questions about it but not from me. Melissa immediately went on the defensive. She couldnt believe that anyone would complain. She claims she does communicate with me. She says that what I write for the media is too bland for her purposes called me and my writing vanilla. She claims that what she does is more time sensitive my stuff has to be out within an hour to two hours but her stuff waits to be published once a quarter so I dont quite get her logic there. Im trying not to take things personally, though the vanilla comment hurt a lot. I even suggested that if we make a request of a staff/faculty member that we cc: each other to make sure we know what the other is working on and dont duplicate efforts. She made the vanilla comment again and said people should just get used to getting requests from both of us. My boss is frustrated and doesnt know how to get through to her. I am frustrated because I feel like shes working against me every chance she gets telling someone today that she needed the information first because her publication needed to be proofed. I had six reporters waiting on me to get them details for stories running this weekend. Any suggestions on an approach I can take. I feel like if I go to my boss again that it will just look like Im complaining. I dont want to be the one bringing problems to my boss, but honestly Im getting more and more frustrated.

Rexburg man guilty of drug, gun trafficking
POCATELLO, Idaho - A Rexburg man was found guilty of meth- and drug-related charges Tuesday.
Noe Munguia-Diaz, also known as Juan Ernesto Medina-Munguia, was found guilty in federal court in Pocatello of six counts of distributing methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and two counts of unlawfully possessing firearms.
During the two-day trial, Senior U.S. District Judge Terry J. Hatter heard evidence that Munguia-Diaz sold methamphetamine on six occasions between March 2011 and October 2012. During one of the sales, Munguia-Diaz also sold a handgun, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.
When Munguia-Diaz was arrested, Rexburg police found he and his female passenger had more than $4,500 and evidence he had deposited $15,000 between two different banks. They also found loaded handgun.
Later than night, officers searching on a warrant recovered about 1 ounce of methamphetamine from a heating vent in Mungua-Diaz's bedroom. Munguia-Diaz admitted to officers that he had methamphetamine in his house and that the firearm in the car belonged to him.
Munguia-Diaz is scheduled to be sentenced by Hatter in December at the federal courthouse in Pocatello.
He faces five to 40 years in prison, a maximum fine of $5 million, and at least four years of supervised release. Munguia-Diaz will forfeit the two firearms he unlawfully possessed and $31,200 as proceeds from his criminal offenses.

Election Calls for US Oil Independence a Pipe Dream
Date: 13-Sep-04
Country: USA
Author: Chris Baltimore
Less than eight weeks before the election, both U.S. presidential candidates this week called for less dependence on foreign oil suppliers like Saudi Arabia, which collectively satisfy about 65 percent of U.S. demand.
"What I'm telling you is we need an energy policy that makes us less dependent on foreign sources of energy," President Bush told a crowd in Huntington, West Virginia, last week.
Bush's speech in the coal-producing state touted conservation, efficiency and cleaner-burning power plants.
Such pronouncements could resonate with voters, but they ring empty with the experts.
Cutting U.S. foreign oil dependence is a "silly notion for politicians," said Herman Franssen, president of the International Energy Associates, Inc. "It's like saying when you're obese that you should stop importing foreign food," he told a Hudson Institute oil panel earlier this week.
"You need to reduce your dependence on (all) oil," Franssen said. "Not foreign oil. Oil."
Democratic contender John Kerry has explicitly attacked what he says is the Bush administration's too-cozy relationship with Saudi Arabia, which is consistently a top U.S. supplier.
"George W. Bush's energy policy is to trust the big oil companies and the Saudis," Kerry said in prepared remarks in Cincinnati this week. "I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation, not the Saudi royal family."
Both candidates have called for more conservation, renewable supplies and drilling in some offshore Gulf of Mexico fields. Bush has called for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which Kerry opposes.
Some polls show that such statements have traction with voters, who saw gasoline prices soar over $2 per gallon this year and crude oil prices flirt with $50 per barrel.
"Never has there been more support for self-reliance than there is today," said pollster Frank Luntz.
An August Luntz poll of 800 potential voters showed that 50 percent of respondents want more renewable energy sources, while only 6 percent want closer U.S.-Saudi ties.
Kerry's Democratic convention remarks that America rely on "innovation, not the Saudi royal family" for energy was "the best statement in the entire convention," Luntz said. The statement had support of 74 percent of poll respondents.
With about a quarter of the world's proven crude oil reserves and the only OPEC nation with spare capacity, Saudi Arabia will remain an integral U.S. supplier, experts say.
In past years the kingdom has opened its oil taps to calm panic-stricken markets during two U.S. military actions in the Middle East and an oil workers' strike in Venezuela.
"The Saudis always came to the rescue," Franssen said. "There is no substitute."
Houston analyst Matthew Simmons has questioned the veracity of the Saudis' crude oil reserve estimates and asserted that its oil production is near its peak. The kingdom has repeatedly defended its reserve data as conservative.
"Like it or not we will always need Saudi Arabia," said Simmons, chairman of Simmons and Co. International. "But we should not assume that they will always be there."

I would love to have one of these....where can I get a reciever for one, and how much do they cost? Also, what kind of tooling do you need to put one together? I have a basic set of AK tools, and a good set of hand tools.
Receivers are a little hard to come by right now.
I just bought an Imbel receiver off gunbroker.
The two biggest things you'll need are a barrel vise and receiver wrench.
A recoil spring/buttstock tool and a gas tube wrench are nice to have, but not mandatory.

To bad Akron does not have any inventory, it must hurt.

As restaurant themes go, there must be some odder than that of Cuban Revolution. Perhaps a quiet Moscow bistro that celebrates the ideals of capitalism with film clips of John D. Rockefeller and Donald Trump. But endless replays of Che Guevara shaking hands with a beaming Chairman Mao on a long row of small black-and-white TVs? That's the province of Providence.
This is said in good-natured fun, because the place deserves a warm-hearted abrazo for its offerings. I love this ironic evolution, with icons of Joe McCarthy fever dreams turned to commercial use. And the food is good.
The decor includes stylized portraits of Fidel and Malcolm X, Che and John Lennon, MLK and JFK, like a free association flashback to the time of the Cuban missile crisis. Food and politics is an appropriate combination, seeing that the place was opened in 2001 by chef Mary Morabito and her husband Edward, former chief of staff to Gov. Almond. Then it was a hole in the wall on Washington Street, with little more than two dozen seats. It later expanded nearby, on Aborn Street next to Gracie's, where I visited recently, and to a sprawling former mill space in Olneyville. On the momentum of that ambition, four years ago a Cuban Revolution opened in Durham, North Carolina.
You'll have to go twice, once for lunch so you can have a Cubano, the traditional Cuban sandwich ($7.25), pressed like Italian panini, with roast pork, salami, ham and swiss, both mayo and mustard — and don't tell them to hold the pickles, a mandatory inclusion. To super-size it, order "El Gordo" (the Fat One), $9.75 for double meats. Another standard dish I've enjoyed there is ropa vieja, literally "old clothes," a thick tomato-based stew composed mainly of shredded flank steak, a cup or bowl for $5 or $6, or on a platter over rice for $15.
In my notes, I wrote "enormously loud," even though the place wasn't very full, so this might be a consideration if you're annoyed at having to raise your voice in conversation, as we had to. But my friend Susan and I were soon distracted by our menu choices.
Appetizers here are listed as tapas, a reminder that one can nibble away a sizable appetite by having several small dishes instead of an entrée. Such items I've enjoyed there include their excellent sweet potato "Che" fries ($5), which are crunchy, as touted on the menu. If memory serves, the small bowl of them these days is more generous in quantity than the saucerful I'd had a few years ago. With those fries I recently had a jibarito "steakwich" ($8), shredded steak with Swiss cheese as well as tostones (fried green plantains), which fit the bill nicely. They also have yucca fries ($4), with a garlic dip, which sound interesting.
But neither of us was inordinately hungry, so we went straight for the main dishes, to save room for a dessert. Susan had the garlic shrimp tropical ($17), pleased with the jumbo crustaceans sautéed with garlic in olive oil and finished with a splash of sherry. On yellow rice, they were accompanied by fresh pineapple and some maduros, fried mature plantains, which are sweeter than tostones. The picadillo ($15), one of their signature offerings, is ground pork intriguingly enhanced with cinnamon, as is the Cuban tradition, with tomatoes as well as olives, raisins, and slivers of almonds over white rice. A satisfying dish.

The keepers down south keep a species of bee which is a cross between the carolian and italian bees. What kind is that? Is it alright to keep?
The keepers down south keep a species of bee which is a cross between the carolian and italian bees. What kind is that? Is it alright to keep?
I actually think that cross is pretty common here in the USA. I often find carnies and Italians together in my hives. I guess it depends on the mating situation. They are still bees and will still provide honey, so no need to worry!
Coyote Creek Bees
You may find the following useful:
If you are using Search for bee species, using "Carniolan" will probably get better results than "carolian".
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
One should remember that virtually queens are open mated with a variety of drones. Hybridization is really the norm, and beekeepers are the better for it. Strictly from a color perspective I love to see a hive with a variety of colorings in the population. Particularly love those striped breeders.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
This idea of crosses between subspecies and ecotypes of Apis milifera being hybrids is incorrect. A cross between Apis milliferara and Apic cerana would be a hybrid. Crosses between common honey bees and african honey bees are not hybrids either. So the whole idea of hybridization in the common honey bee is erroneus. This is not to say that there are no advantages in crossing these bio types. The crosses widen the genetic base and in my opinion produce a better bee. Our bees are muts and produce bees that look like pure Italians all the way to bees that are essentially black. In some instances all in the same hive.
That's interesting Dave and I'm one of the people who tends to refer to a cross between say, italian and carniolan as a "carni hybrid". What is the correct term?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Hybrid works for me for crossbreeds, for all my purposes and probably most folks. It is common usage but may not be assbolutely correct usage.
it's a hybrid of sorts. Just like crossing two parent inbred lines i.e tomatoes, the resulting line is referred to as a hybrid although maybe not in the truest sense.
Cool. I don't like getting too hung up over words, although they are important and misuse can be aggravating. (Plus show ignorance).
Looks like "hybrid" will do, for the common folks.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Yeah, both will be unknowingly incorrect. Like the folks who illustrate cartoons about the Mayan Calendar w/ a picture of an Aztec Calendar Wheel. Why don't you call them Carnicrosses? Or Carni/Italian crosses?
Mark Berninghausen
Actually, when talking to people I usually do. But for online banter "hybrid" seems to slip out easier, it can avoid confusion with cross (angry) bees.
Yes that Mayan thing was a bit of a laugh, wearing weird clothes & thinking they understood what those old Mayan guys had been talking about.
But most of them were just there for some dancing and drinking LOL!
"Thinking Inside The Box"
'mutts' works for me. (finding just the right 'mutt' is my goal )
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
my mistake, I meant Carniolans. I forgot to mention this was down south in the Philippines. I guess it would still be the same answer though hahaha
A hybrid is the result of a cross between 2 unrelated individuals from the same species. If they are truly 2 different species then they cannot breed and produce fertile offspring i.e. a mule.
A mule is a hybrid, and not always sterile. The offspring as far as I know is a horse and fertile. Many of the hybrids we use are from different species. Reproductive isolation can be genetic ( different chromosome numbers ), behavioral, or biochemical.
The use of inbred lines is to increase the expression of hybrid vigor. Hybrid vigor increase as the genetic differences of the parents increase. I wonder if anybody has tried to cross A. mellifera with A. cerana.
I am recently retired from a career in plant breeding. We crossed diploid wild species to hexaploid species to try and retrieve disease and insect resistance.
I like Carniolans and italian mix. thats what i have, small clusters in the winter and boom in the spring. i got some pure italians also, they have a huge cluster now and eat up almost all there stores. my Carniolan mix have lots of stores and small clusters. i also notice the Carniolans are out and about in cooler weather.
Does someone sell Carniolan "mite resistant" bees in either nucs or queens? Bear in mind, for shipping times, that I live in West Texas. Also, will Carniolans survive 50 or 60 consecutive days of 100 plus temperatures in the summer?
(My first year beekeeping - hope there's patience here for inexperience.) I'm going to have 2 hives - I'm thinking 1 Italian and 1 Carniolan. I'm interested to see what differences I can detect over the year between the breeds. If later I introduced a virgin queen of the breed I prefered, would it then mate with drones from both hives and become a balanced mix, or hybrid, or....what?
>A mule is a hybrid, and not always sterile.
The males are always sterile, at least in recorded history (which goes back a very long ways). The females are rarely fertile. The oldest account historically that I've heard of was in 480 BC and was considered a omen.
>The offspring as far as I know is a horse and fertile.
The offspring would still be a mule technically, but there is a record of one that appeared to be a horse and was not sterile. Most are sterile.
Zorses (half horse and half zebra) are similar. (aka zebroid zedonk, zebra mule, zonkey, zebrule) They are almost always sterile but there has been at least one that I've heard of that was fertile. I never heard if the fertile zorse had fertile offspring or not.
All of these tend to be a female horse and a male of the other species. When it's the other way around, my grandpa called them "Jennies". But the more common term seems to be "hinnies". They are smaller and more rare.
But these are all crosses with other species. A carniolan is the same species as an Italian. Both are the species Apis mellifera.
One is the variety (aka race, breed) carniolan and the other is the variety ligustica.

justdashes/trashes my dash
i recently had justdashes re do my 1960 cadillac eldo dashpad. it cost me $1.1oo. bucks.when my dash was ready i picked it up and installed it. it did not fit..i then looked under the dash and found they gave me some one elses dash pad. ok that's why it did not fit. well..i talked to them they offered to do another dash pad. at my cost for the core; 175 bucks. i found one that fit nicely. they took it and re did it. so after two weeks i go to install the other dash and ..wow...it did not fit at the speedo assembly. the cavity was to small for the unit to slide in to it. i then looked closer and saw blue vinyl...hmmm. that's funny my dash is black. i then relized the horrific reality of the situation, they simply re coverd right over my old worn and cracked core. they did not tear down all the old padding and vinyl. there website will clearly say they take all worn cracked material off. well the the build up of new vinyl with my old worn vinyl reduced the size of my dash cavity. i was accused of being a whiner by erwin. he actually had the nerve to tell me that it is the option at justdashes to remove the old worn materials that they clearly state on their site as bien crap. so they go over it? they do not ever say they have the option to use four decade old materials for a foundation.has anybody ever had any problems with justdashes? i will meet with erwin on monday the 11th of feb. i will let you know if they take care of me or drag me through crap. if you send them your dash make them earn your money by doing what they promise. tear all the old stuff off. if you send them a dash tear it down to the metal and engrave your name on it. will let you know monday.
I had the dash in my '86 Monte Carlo done by Just Dashes. It looks fine, although I didn't know they where going to dye or the paint the vinyl in order to get match the original color. I was a little disappointed in that, it doesn't match, but it's close, but for what they dare charge they should dare to do thier best. If you look back through the archived posts you'll find one that has about a thousand responses about this very issue, and there seems to be alot of bad relations between Californians and the rest of the Country.
Wow! I'm glad I saw this. Thanks for the info. They won't be getting my money. I'll just strip and recover it myself. I think I can probably do it better anyways. Thanks again.
Wow, talk about old! This thread is nearly geriatric! Put it in a home!!!
Holy crap chevfreak, I just looked at the original date on this after you said that. Wow, lol definately did not catch that at first.
Yeah, it's old. It still served a purpose though. I was thinking of sending my dash to get recovered with Just Dashes. Not now.
I was considering using Just Dashes... but not now. Anyone ever try spraying a cracked vinyl padded dash with that Rhino bedliner stuff?
Check out this web site: www.coverlaymfg.com. They make contoured plastic dash overlays molded specifically for each car style. If you need to match a color, you can spray it with SEM. Much easier. Good luck.
There are lots of that type product out there... BUT
not for classic cars, muscle cars or hot rods. My apologies to the owners of 1985 Oldsmobile Omega hot rodders everywhere. Dash caps also makes some... but not for my 68 Cutlass S.
This thread has been around for awhile....You may want to post your dash for sale in the classifieds, if you haven't done so already. Sounds like a good deal for someone.
Around awhile???? Like 9 years old!!!

The OP never posted the outcome, this thread is worthless without the "rest of the story"
They went out to the street to settle things right, only one came back.
Things have changed...
Hi Hot Rodders,
Just Dashes has been in the classic automotive restoration industry for 30+ years, and we've gone through management and process changes since this post was created. I can assure all our future customers that we have a very strict restoration and quality control process. With regard to our restoration process, we NEVER make a core swap without consulting our customer first. As soon as a package comes into our shop the first thing we do is write our customer's name on the parts and photograph all contents of the box.
Every restoration job is unique and handled a little differently from the next. For Late 50's to early 60's Cadillacs specifically we take off ALL the old material (vinyl and foam), and bead blast or deep clean the frame depending on the frame condition. After bead blasting we lay down a new foundation of high density polyethylene foam and then vaccuum form a skin of vinyl around the newly foamed structure. From there we put the parts through an extensive vinyl dying process, to make the part whatever color our customer needs. If our customer is not happy with a color we mix for them, we are more than happy to take care of the issue and get them what they want.
I hope I've addressed any and all issues that have been brought up here. I'll be keeping my eye on this post, if any of you have any questions.

I opened up my thriving hive to find a full box of honey on top and lots and lots of bees. When I worked my way into the brood nest I found plenty of larva, eggs and capped brood and also two small patches of capped drone brood. This seems unusual to me so early in the season in Minnesota but the weather has been unseasonably warm and there is a lot of pollen and nectar coming into the hive. Has anyone else made similar observations?
I look forward to hearing what you all have to say.

What keeps you going?
My dreams and my mechanic
Sooner or later, every car owner will need the services of an automotive technician. But maintaining and repairing vehicles isn't just steady work-it can also be quite profitable. ACC's Automotive Technology Program comes fully loaded with the know-how employers want. Our expert instructors combine classroom lessons with hands-on shop time repairing real customers' cars. You can even gain valuable experience working on hybrid electric systems. And unlike many schools, ACC is certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, putting you a step closer to the important ASE technician certification.
What skills can I gain?
Students build expertise in the repair and maintenance of cars, light trucks, sport utilities, and vans.
Students in the associate of applied science program take general academic courses in areas such as math, social sciences, and English, in addition to dedicated automotive coursework.
A three-semester Automotive Technician certificate is offered. It covers many of the same areas as the associate degree, but does not include general academics courses.
Specialized certificates requiring 736 clock-hours of study are available in the following areas: brake and suspension, drive train, engine performance, heating and air conditioning. Each of these can be included in the associate of applied science degree.
An enhanced skills certificate is also available in Automotive Technology, which includes classes in small business management and automotive service, plus an internship in the field.
How long will it take to get a degree or certificate?
It typically takes full time students at least two years to complete an associate degree. The Automotive Technician certificate requires a year and a half of full time study. The 736 class-hour certificates can usually be completed in 9 months of full time study. The certificates are designed for people already working in the business who want to grow their skills as well as for people who wish to enter the workforce quickly.
Where can I work with this education?
Auto dealers and a wide range of independent auto repair facilities are the most common employers of program graduates.
- Bureau of Labor Statistics (United States Department of Labor)
- Texas Workforce Commission
How do I get started at ACC and where can I find out about financial aid?
Visit ACC's future student's page for admissions information. The financial aid page has links for eligibility and applications.

Where I stayed
Thistledown B & B
We left Middleton on a frosty but sunny morning. There was no breakfast at the motel so we set off to look for some. We were starting to find that the summer season was over and many places were now closed. We reached Annapolis Royal and found a cafe open there.
Annapolis Royal developed from Fort Anne and was one of the first sites to be settled in Canada in the early 1600's. The fort was established on an inland site at the junction of two rivers. It was then continually fought over between the British and the French. The fort was laid out in a classic star shape that gave cover from many sides and this design was then adopted all over Canada. We saw this pattern at the big Citadels in Quebec and Halifax.
We plodded on and reached Digby, which is a small fishing port sited on an inland water that is only reached from the sea by a narrow inlet
We went for supper to a local fish restaurant and decided we were brave enough to try the lobster. We explained that we had never had fresh lobster before - "we don't get many lobsters in the Manchester Ship Canal luv" and we were promptly fitted with an enormous bib each. The lobsters were hauled out of a nearby tank and displayed to us, I mean, you don't go to the local butcher and ask for steak only to be shown a picture of a cow and told "well this is from Daisy, a good looking beast in her prime" - you just get a piece of steak! Maybe it's to weed out the faint hearted?
Our Lobsters duly arrived cooked and although they were part sectioned, it was still an audience participation event with twist this bit off, bend that bit back, crack these here and poke the meat out and then suck this bit out of here. It was real good fun and absolutely delicious. We had a Lobster dinner each, a litre of the very tasty local wine, a desert and 2 coffees for the princely sum of $110 Canadian - approx 55 pounds sterling. I must try that the next time we go into Manchester
Distance driven 50 miles Total driven 1190 miles
Tuesday, 2nd October
The next day I had fresh omelette with scallops for breakfast. We had decided to go whale watching, you know, where you sit on a boat for about 3 hours getting colder and colder just watching an empty sea. We drove approx 40 miles down Digby Neck, which is a long peninsula running down into the Bay of Funday, this involved two ferry crossings. The ferry captains didn't bother tying up at the end of each trip but just held the ferry in place with their engines whilst the cars drove on and off. They then set off with the ferry at an angle to the tidal flow and at the last minute on the opposite shore, just dropped off enough power to slide behind the jetty and up to the loading ramp. We thought we were clever doing it in slalom canoes but these guys were absolute masters!
On Brier Island we found a general store. At the front someone was making deli sandwiches from several types of ham and cheese, there was a good selection of groceries and at the back of the store an amazing range of hardware from fan belts, filters, electrical parts, ships chandlery bits, fishing equipment and sailing gear - an incredible place
We bought sandwiches and drinks for lunch and went to a picnic sight near North lighthouse, where we ate lunch watching a large school of harbour porpoise playing in the bay in front of us.
We joined the whale watching boat and as we set off into the Bay of Fundy we saw more porpoises and a colony of seals. After about 40 minutes we came across 3 humpback whales, 2 adults and a calf. The boat skippers have a great policy in that they will only approach the whales without harassing them and let the whales decide what they want to do. As the skipper cut his engines and coasted towards them, the whales came to the boat, constantly circling and diving underneath us. The baby, some 20ft long and weighing about 15 tons played round the boat, rolling over and waving his flippers in the air and even nudging the boat a couple of times. Who was playing with whom? The whales stayed so close to the boat that you could almost touch them and as they breathed out a big cloud of salty, fishy spray drifted over the boat. It was an absolutely magical time, lasting well over half an hour until the whales decided to move off.
We motored on and found another couple of large humpback whales, one of them was asleep
On our way back to harbour we could see a flock of Northern Gannets wheeling in the sky before folding their wings back and diving into the sea after fish. This was a really fabulous trip which lasted some 4 hours.
Another fish supper, yes I'm really getting into the fish now! I tried the clam chowder and was disappointed with it. It was a fish (clam) and potato soup which was creamy but was lacking in taste.
Driving distance round Digby 100 miles Total driven 1290 miles

Alex Pauk had his start in new music as the founder of Array Music, a performing and composing group active in Toronto, which at first began to meet in his apartment. He soon had the ambition to start a new music orchestra. Through a stroke of good luck, Pauk's partner Alexina Louie sat beside an executive of Suncor, the oil company, at a gala event.
