What the hell is that?They redid the unusual looking grill and toned down the standing straight up styling and then the designers did THIS to the outside of the Focus?!!!Now,they do have a psuedo performance model with a big wing in black that almost looks ownable but this standard model Focus LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED IN 1968 IN EAST GERMANY!!!LOL!!!I'll probably be dead wrong,Ford will probably sell a million of these hideously lame looking Focus's but even with a rebate,a price cut and zero percent ten year financing,I'd ride a bike before I ever bought one of these cars.Wow! FORD!!! What were you thinking????Nice chrome fake grill vent on the side by the way.LOL!!!!!!o.K.,O.K.,Ford,I have always been a great fan of your cars but here's what I see wrong with that restyle.The actual shape of the outside of the car is fine-modern,efficient,attractive.But the shape of the lights both front and rear is wrong,the grill is wrong,the side vent looking chrome piece is simply TRASH.I would only ask that you look at your own Ford Fusion to see everything that is right about a vehicle redesign.Every line,every chrtome piece on the Fusion looks like it was designed in from the start.Extremely attractive current design that shows Ford designers can definitely get it right.But the redesign of the outside of the Focus looks awful,in my opinion.Ford,you can DEFINITELY DO BETTER.
Completely agree.The "redesign" of the Focus is absolutely hideous, managing to mash together a wide variety of current styling cliches while at the same time eliminating the quirky originality of the first design.Why Ford can't send us Americans its European Focus- a car that looks fantastic AND performs well- is beyond me. But then I can't understand why we don't get the Mondeo either, which is also an exceptional car.Just as Ford renamed the Five Hundred to the Taurus, I petition that Ford renames the Focus: the Fugly.
It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this new Focus..arghhh. The reason why this Focus doesn't do much for us esthetically is because its a low cost car and so they probably spent less time on its design and development since their return is less. Its a shame, in an era where car manufacturers are offering more and more investment in their vehicles, Ford won't push those bean counters away and give the public what they want. Personal cars - something they're real proud of driving. Not something just taking them to and fro. I can almost feel Ford's pain when they put something out like this that will get negative reactions and lower car sales...
As if the Focus couldn't get worse looking, Ford decided to show us how much they enjoy red ink! Ford can and has done much better than this, just look at the reskinned '08 Euro Focus for a case point. At least GM is starting to get smart and sending us some Euro love (via Saturn). Ford listen up: join the bandwagon!
WHY DOES'NT FORD USE THE EURO STYLED FORDS?You'd think it would be cheaper to just have one style(GREAT STYLE)Ford model Focus!
Agree!The new US Focus is ugly, ugly nothing but UGLY!I don't understand why Ford uses its resources to design this TRASH instead of just simply making the europe Focus here. No wonder Ford is deeply in red!
I bought the base 2-dr coupe S model. It does NOT have the fake chrome side vents behind the front fenders, that seem to throw you all into such apoplexy. Those fake chrome side vents are only on the higher grade SE and SES models. Exterior styling is always a matter of personal taste. I thought the old Focus (2007 and earlier) were ugly. I like the new design.Who else makes a 2-door AMERICAN economy car nowadays? Nobody except the Chevy Cobalt. You think THAT warmed-over Cavalier looks better? I test drove both, and the new Focus had more zip and better handling, perhaps because the new base Focus is over 400 pounds lighter than the base Cobalt LS. The manual transmission on the new Focus is superb, compared to the Cobalt.So if you want an AMERICAN 2-door economy coupe, what choice do you have? There are 4-doors up the ying-yang,-- but no 2-doors. It's Focus vs Cobalt. The Saturn Astra 2-door is $3000 more expensive and not availabe until Jan 2008, and it's advance reviews are pretty poor. But it's European styling!!!!
Guess I'm in the minority here, 'cause even though you couldn't call it sexy, it looks better that it has in years.
I generally cheer on the American car companies. I want them to succeed even though I think most of their products are garbage. But (as usual) just as Ford takes one step forward with one thing, it takes two backward with another. It is no wonder that they are in such crisis. When I see crap like the new Focus it makes me actually want to see them fail. Do you believe people actually got paid to design this thing?
Too many designers not enough drivers are playing cars with their friends. How come Americans put up with crap for so long? Maybe Toyota taking over GM and Ford in sales might get some execs to pull their heads out of the tailpipe and start bringing to the USA what euro drivers have had for a while. FUN CARS TO DRIVE!
Ford has a new exterior that is simply awesome,ready to go.It's called the Verve concept and it looks fantastic.I can guarantee you that if Ford drags their axx putting that concept vehicle into circulation as the new Focus that Hyundai,Kia or Dawoo will make a car that looks exactly like it and steal that market from Ford.
Add another vote to the new Focus looking like garbage. The last generation "late cycle" makeover was nice to me. The revised headlights looked more elegant and cleaner than the early model years. But yeah... now the Focus looks like a high-school geometry class project.
Folks, just read Jamie Kitman's latest editorial. According to him, Ford cannot afford to build or ship the Euro Focus here. How they can afford NOT to, I don't know. So Ford continues to sell us junk Foci while Europe gets the good ones. And JK is not kidding. I was in the UK in the mid-1990's and rented a Ford Escort. The little car really impressed me. I could not believe how far apart that car was from the US Escort. We really have been duped. But as long as people keep buying the US Focus, what incentive does Ford have to send us the superior Euro Focus? Exactly.
I saw that information too.Something along the lines tha Ford was so in debt that they had to sell junk bonds to finance what they have on the market right now.The new Focus is selling at the lowest prices of any save the cheapest Korean cars right now in the weekend sales papers.At those prices,the outer look of the car takes a backseat to the fact that it's basic transportation that has a peppy engine,gets great gas mileage and is cheap to buy.
Ford actually does build a nice looking and roomy econobox- it's called the Mazda 3. Ford long ago turned it's back on anyone that didn't want a truck or a Mustang in the United States (I do own a Ranger). For fun, I'll keep my 99 Miata. For the family, I'll drive my 04 Passat. For home repair and yardwork, I'll drive a Ford.

I will help you out with these. Call me
I just bought 4 barrels and 4 DCI receivers. I have tried every barrel on every receiver and each will tighten to about the 9-10 oclock postion. I am unable to get any of them to the 12 oclock postion.
If I back them each off I get a nice gap between the receiver and barrel face. Any ideas how I can get these mounted correctly??
There must be a solution. If I use a big washer then I have a large gap in my breech.
I need advise on this one.

I will help you out with these. Call me
Buy your US made AK-47 compliance parts here.
Best price on US made AK parts! also $5 flat rate shipping .
Sounds like inch barrels and metric receivers.
Hey here is a site where a guys used an grinding pad put over and up to shoulder of the barrel
and spins it by hand to take off a little at a time until the barrel clocks to 11 oclock position
here is the link WECSOG.org - "Texas Jungle" Carbine Build

You can either trim the barrel shoulder or trim the fwd face of the receiver
Did I do that?
Not an uncommon problem.
Easy way to trim, if you don't have a lathe, but access to full size drill press. Take off the flash suppressor. Put the muzzle in the chuck and center it. Use a slow speed spindle on the pulley system. Using an abrasive disk from a grinding disk with the open spindle hole, grind of small amounts of the facing. Check fit often. If you take off too much, you will need a barrel index bushing. Check with James, the Gun Parts Guy. he usually has them. Gun Parts Guy - Military Surplus Gun Parts FN FAL L1A1
Good luck on the build!
Sledgehammer, another name I recognize.
First make sure that the barrel is not bottoming out inside the receiver.
Remove the material from the barrel shoulder VERY slowly. You will be amazed how little it takes to go from 9 O'clock to 12 O'clock. It will only take a couple of thousandths

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by supercowboy8, Jan 8, 2012.
But without the instincts maybe.
I agree. Ingram in my view is at least one of the valid options for the Cowboys. He is a very good player and could be a big help to this team.
As you pointed out Kirkpatrick and DeCastro also are 2 guys that would be great additions to this team.
we need SOMEONE that is a threat to get double digit sacks. Is any of these guys likely to do that?
Im a Gamecocks fan and Ingram is awesome. He can do anything he kind of reminds me of Randy White. He is just all out energy a leader and a ball hawk. Trust me if it was up to me I would draft him at 14 no question.
Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
One of the most consistent players in the SEC over the past few seasons has been Melvin Ingram. He finished his collegiate career with a superb game against Nebraska. Ingram recorded four tackles with 1.5 sacks and was a disruptive force at the line of scrimmage. To get the Bowl started, Ingram blasted quarterback Taylor Martinez on an option run for tackle for a loss. In the fourth quarter, the Cornhuskers signal caller dove to the ground to avoid a hit from Ingram. He showed his versatility by beating a guard with a speed-and-shed rush move to sack Martinez.
This year, Ingram totaled 48 tackles with 15 tackles for a loss and 10 sacks. In 2010, Ingram had nine sacks and 11 tackles for a loss for the Gamecocks. He is a rare athlete. The 6-foot-2, 276-pounder has natural pad level with sudden speed and agility. Ingram ran a fake punt for a 68-yard touchdown against Georgia earlier this season and returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Bulldogs. As a pass rusher, Ingram is a mismatch for offenses if he rushes from defensive tackle or end. Ingram could get consideration in the top 20 picks of the 2012 NFL Draft.
I don't think so. I don't think you'd be able to rush the passer and/or cover as well as he does without the instincts.
I watched a few more clips of the guy (which certainly is not a sufficient basis to judge him) but I am even more concerned because he seems to be noticeably slow off the ball. Maybe it is the defense and his job to make reads or something. But it bugs me nonetheless when we are talking about taking this guy top 15.
For instance:
In those clips from one game, there is some to like what he shows, and there is some that gives me great concern.
If we are going to be taking a pass rusher at 14, I'd like it to be a guy with an elite ability to get off the ball. Wares, Freeney, etc are all great pass rushers because they explode at the snap.
Ingram looks like a guy who make plays and provides scheme versatility, but he doesn't blow me away as a pass rusher. In that regard, I wonder why he is an improvement over Spencer.
I think it is just the way he's told to play, as I mentioned earlier. I'd like to know one way or the other, for sure, before I'd want him at 14. But it looks to me like he is supposed rush or cover depending on the offense, and his initial hesitation is just him diagnosing the play before he rushes or covers.
I mean, that's the only way I could see someone being so noticeably slow off the snap. When he does decide to rush or cover, you see such an explosive first step that I find it hard to believe he would be so initially slow.
Ingram appears to play run-first, passrush-2nd in a lot of plays.
Look at :54 and :258 in that link. He looks really quick off the snap in those plays.
He looks like a perfect fit as a Stong-Side OLB in a 3-4. Having said that, I don't know about picking him at #14. Is he that much better than some other passrushers that would be available later?
In regards to quickness of the snap, Bruce Irvin is a incredible in that area.
Check out 2:38 and 4:02 in this clip.
The issue with Irvin is that he is not really a fit at SOLB. Ware would need to play SOLB and let Irvin play WOLB. A lot of projections currently have in the mid 2nd round. That will probably change after the combine.
how would you rate Vinny Curry relative to these guys (Ingram, Hightower, and Irvin) since he might be available even in the 3rd round
long term might he be right up there?
I still see a problem with 1st down pass rush no matter who's playing the strong-side OLBer position, because this guy isn't pass rushing.
You're either getting just the front 3 or the front 3 plus Ware.
And when you have one starting DE getting 1 sack and the NT getting 2 for the entire season... Well I think the pass rush issues go deeper than Spencer only getting 6 sacks on the season.
I agree with this but looking at the 3-4 DEs at 14 then you are reaching big time. Derek Wolfe is pretty much the only one I like right now to draft early and that would be mid-late 2nd or maybe early 3rd but I think he will rise up boards.
So because there isn't a Watt in the draft what should you do reach for a 3-4 DE and hope he can be a great pass rusher. No you move to other positions.
I would love to get Campbell in FA but i doubt that will happen.
Red Bryant would be a smart signing. He plays DE in a 4-3 now in Seattle, so I think he can make the move to 3-4 DE.
I haven't done a whole lot of considering who will be what in the draft, but I am a huge Ingram fan. The guy has shown the ability to just dominate games. He was a one man wrecking crew against Auburn.
Yes, love Red Bryant. Dude is a freak with his size and strength.
if he can play DE in a 4-3 at his size what can he do as a 3-4 DE. I would love a guy that is 6-4 320 pounds and can get into the backfield.
I don't see where this guy fits in a 3-4. He'd have to play OLB in our scheme, and I don't think he's got the burst to be an outside pass rusher and it seems like he did quite a bit of damage rushing from the DT position at SC.
He reminds me of Vernon Gholston for some reason. Not saying he's going to be a total bust, but I don't see him having the same success in the NFL as he had in college.
He honestly reminds me of a poormans Ngata. That is probably a bit of an exaggeration but that's what came to mind the 3 or 4 games I watched him in this year. He's a force on the line and surprisingly quick for such a big guy. I think he could play both NT and DE in our scheme.
Ngata has 60 lbs. on Ingram
I don't see this burst problem people keep talking about. I guess he could be faster but I think he still has great speed to get around the corner.
He reminds me alot of Terrell Suggs.
But other than Ingram Upshaw, Hightower, and Irvin is our only options if we don't bring Spencer back.
I'm not going to trust a 2nd round or 3rd round OLB to start day one.
I think he was talking about Red Bryant

Since becoming an adult, I haven't really been interested in wearing costumes. Since becoming a parent, though, I'm all about getting my kids to wear costumes. When my seven-year-old expressed an interest in dressing up for New York Comic Con this year, we threw ourselves into the task of making something awesome.
We decided to make a Zita the Spacegirl costume. Zita is a fabulous girl hero, and her costume seemed surmountable, even with our beginner sewing skills. All we needed to do is sew a Z on a white dress, right? It turns out, it's super hard to find a simple white dress after Labor Day. I was even having trouble finding a white skirt, unless you count the expensive tennis skirts I found. Then, at the Halloween store, I found a white dress as part of a Cleopatra costume. When my mom was in town, she helped us cut off the bottom of the dress and turn the extra fabric into sleeves.
With book in hand, we cut three strips of felt until they resembled the Z on the front of Zita's dress. We bought my daughter a sewing machine for her birthday, which help make quick work of the Z. I did that bit of the sewing, but left some other projects for my daughter.

(metoprolo lsuccinate) Tablets
Following abrupt cessation of therapy with certain beta-blocking agents, exacerbations of angina pectoris and, in some cases, myocardial infarction have occurred. When discontinuing chronically administered TOPROL-XL, particularly in patients with is chemic heart disease, the dos age should be gradually reduced over a period of 1 - 2 weeks and the patient should be carefully monitored. If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, TOPROL-XL administration should be reinstated promptly, at least temporarily, and other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina should be taken. Warn patients against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician's advice. Because coronary artery disease is common and may be unrecognized, it may be prudent not to discontinue TOPROL-XL therapy abruptly even in patients treated only for hypertension (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
TOPROL-XL, metoprolol succinate, is a beta1-selective (cardioselective) adrenoceptor blocking agent, for oral administration, available as extended-release tablets. TOPROL-XL has been formulated to provide a controlled and predictable release of metoprolol for once-daily administration. The tablets comprise a multiple unit system containing metoprolol succinate in a multitude of controlled release pellets. Each pellet acts as a separate drug delivery unit and is designed to deliver metoprolol continuously over the dosage interval. The tablets contain 23.75, 47.5, 95 and 190 mg of metoprolol succinate equivalent to 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg of metoprolol tartrate, USP, respectively. Its chemical name is (±)1- (isopropylamino)-3-[p-(2-methoxyethyl) phenoxy]-2-propanol succinate (2:1) (salt). Its structural formula is:
Metoprolol succinate is a white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 652.8. It is freely soluble in water; soluble in methanol; sparingly soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in dichloromethane and 2-propanol; practically insoluble in ethyl-acetate, acetone, diethylether and heptane. Inactive ingredients: silicon dioxide, cellulose compounds, sodium stearyl fumarate, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, paraffin.
What are the possible side effects of metoprolol (Lopressor, Metoprolol Succinate ER, Metoprolol Tartrate, Toprol-XL)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- chest pain, pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;
- feeling light-headed, fainting;
- feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
- swelling of your hands or feet;
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine,...

What are the precautions when taking metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)?
Before taking metoprolol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other beta-blockers (such as atenolol, propranolol); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.

The Warriors have today unveiled Matthew Elliott as their new head coach.
The former Bradford, Canberra and Penrith coach has signed a two-year-contract, replacing the vacant spot left by Brian McClennan who parted ways with the club with two matches left in the 2012 season.
Elliott becomes the club's ninth head coach, including Tony Iro's brief two-game stint at the end of last season, and the fourth Australian to take over the top job following John Monie (1995-1997), Daniel Anderson (2001-2004) and Ivan Cleary (2006-2011).
Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah said the club was "thrilled to secure a coach of Matthew's calibre".

AIA's special membership offer
Original post made by [special offer], Alamo, on Oct 14, 2011
This message below was received this morning extending free membership in the AIA to Alamo region residents. According to the AIA by-laws, membership is open to all that are interested in Alamo. Your Alamo region readers can refer to www.alamoca.org to learn more about the AIA and to access a membership form.
The Alamo Improvement Association is interested in getting more Alamo residents involved so as to broaden our support base and improve our leverage with the County Government. Accordingly, the AIA is offering free memberships for the rest of this year to any Alamo resident who is not currently enrolled. This membership will be in effect through June of next year.
An AIA membership application is attached to this message, and I invite you all to take advantage of this offer. It will get you on the AIA distribution list and give you a way to keep up with ongoing issues that this organization is working on behalf of your community.

Dear Editor,
Alamo region neighborhoods have directly responded to this TRIAL offer with two general comments:
#1 Alamo Improvement Association has potential within its current and planned committees to be the prominant community voice for Alamo's region and community. Neighbors are very willing to be paid members of the AIA when committees are functional and neighborhoods' representatives are enrolled in committees' activities.
#2 Neighbors realize that all residents are already members of the AIA via direct membership or via neighborhood, business district and community group representatives that are members of the AIA.
The AIA is encouraged to complete organization of public safety and preparedness, parks and environment, community affairs and economic development committees with opportunity for neighbors to join such committees as part of a stronger voice for the Alamo region.

You should probably work on getting comfortable with the fact that the AIA is not a governing agency and never will meet CA gov. code as "local government".
It is a membership club and has no "additional leverage" with County government, nor should it. With a membership of about 11 percent it doesn't come close to speaking for the majority of Alamo residents. You would need about another 40 percent added to the membership to cross that threshold. Doesn't look like they will get even close, even with free memberships.
The minority should always have a voice, just not "additional leverage".
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Front-end estimates of costs and benefits typically used to support decisions on projects are considerably inaccurate, Bent Flyvbjerg, an international expert in the management of major projects, says in a new paper.
тАЬEstimates are commonly poor predictors of the actual value and viability of projects and cannot be trusted as the basis for informed decision making,тАЭ Flyvbjerg, a professor in the University of OxfordтАЩs Sa├пd Business School, writes. тАЬThese forecasts frequently misinform decision makers on projects instead of informing them. Some of the inaccuracy comes from genuine forecasting mistakes arising from overoptimism, but some estimates are deliberately misleading, designed to secure financial or political support for a project.тАЭ
Flyvbjerg goes further, calling many forecasts тАЬgarbageтАЭтАФmoreover, expensive garbage, both in terms of the fees of the consultancy firms involved and the costs and risks to investors and other stakeholders arising from errors and misrepresentations.
Flyvbjerg says clients should ask for their money back when they receive reports that prove to be significantly inaccurate and misleading. In some cases, he urges clients to seek compensation and even pursue criminal action.
тАЬMerely firing the forecaster may be letting them off too easily,тАЭ Flyvbjerg says. тАЬSome forecasts are so grossly misrepresented and have such dire consequences that we need to consider suing them for the losses incurred as a result. In a few cases where forecasters foreseeably produce deceptive forecasts, criminal penalties may be warranted.тАЭ
Flyvbjerg calls upon professional organizations to use their codes of ethics to penalize and possibly exclude members who produce forecasts unethically and chastises associations for failing to address the issue adequately.
тАЬThis needs to be debated openly within the relevant professional organizations,тАЭ Flyvbjerg says. тАЬMalpractice in project management should be taken as seriously as malpractice in other professions, like medicine and law.тАЭ
FlyvbjergтАЩs paper offers an eight-point due-diligence plan for those reviewing project forecasts.

No One's Safe
I don't know anybody more passionate about baseball than my buddy Jimmy. So I've invited him to be a guest blogger from time to time. He sent this to me about a week ago so a little has changed since he wrote this, but the point remains the same. Enjoy!
A couple of days ago I listened to some local guys on the radio complain about baseball. They said baseball is suffering because the lack of a salary cap creates too much of a competitive imbalance. The other guy said he looked at the standings and they were pretty much the same as last year. I almost called in to tell him how wrong he is but decided to keep driving instead. So I'll do it now. Of the six teams that won their division last year, only one (the Yankees) are currently leading their division as of August 9th. In fact, the other five current leaders combined for a .500 winning percentage last year. Two of them (Padres, Reds) finished FOURTH in their division, and two of them (White Sox, Braves) finished third. Eight different teams have won the last nine World Series. Conversely, the last 11 NBA Finals have been won by five teams, and it is worse if you include Jordan's Bulls before that. Six teams have won the last nine Super Bowls. One could argue that baseball has more of a balance of power than the other major sports.
I do agree that it is frustrating to see the Yankees have nearly six times the payroll as the Pittsburgh Pirates, but it is not a lost cause for half of all MLB teams as many believe. The Pirates haven't had a winning season since 1992 and the Kansas City Royals have nearly been just as bad, but the little guys can succeed in baseball. The Tampa Bay Rays went to the World Series as little as two years ago with the 29th (out of 30) highest payroll in the majors. This year the White Sox (7th in payroll on Opening Day), Braves (15th), Reds (20th), Rangers (27th), and Padres (29th) are all currently leading their divisions, and the Rays (19th) are leading the AL Wild Card race. Those numbers are hardly top heavy, at least 4 of the top six teams in payroll will not make the playoffs this year. While a salary cap like the NBA would prevent the best players from all signing onto the same team (wait…), baseball has never been more competitively balanced. There are some things wrong with baseball (steroids residue, long games…), but the big market teams don't rule the MLB as much as you may think.

An international field of 18 drivers including three Kiwis - one of whom, Nick Cassidy, is the defending champion - were greeted by dry but blustery conditions in Invercargill.
The field was made up of experienced open-wheel racers, returning TRS racers, an accomplished female driver from Columbia, Tatiana Calderon, single-seater first-timers and one who started his racing career as a PlayStation gamer.
The opening race on Saturday saw all the drivers taking a bit of care to get a feel for the cars and what the track felt like when pushing hard in a pack.
Austrian driver Lucas Auer returned to the series after his first foraylast year, and while his readily acknowledged speed was seen again, his race maturity was even more evident. After a year racing back in Europe, Auer has learnt that keeping the car on the black stuff is more rewarding than off-track excursions.
He and his car were fast straight out of the box and proceeded to romp away with the first win of the 15-race series.
Defending champion Cassidy is with a new team this year, having moved from Giles Motorsport to M2 Competition and was feeling his way in the new environment.
However, again experience in Europe came to his aid, and he followed Auer home in race one with Alex Lynn in third.
Brazilian newcomer Pipo Derani took advantage of being on pole for the reverse top six grid in Sunday morning's race and held off the pack to take the win from Felix Serralles and Lynn after Bruno Bonifacio was pinged with a time penalty.
Of the Kiwi drivers, Cassidy was again the best, finishing fourth, with local Southland lad Damon Leitch eighth and Formula Ford graduate Michael Scott 16th.
The feature race on Sunday afternoon opened spectacularly when Brit Lynn and Serralles had a coming together causing Lynn to fire of the track. He headed into the tyre barrier and launched into the air, the car eventually landing back on its wheels.
Lynn was able to exit the car unaided, albeit very shaken.
On the restart Serralles put his near-disaster behind him and drove away from the field to take his first win of the weekend from Auer and young Steijn Schothorst from the Netherlands.
With maximum points from the last race coupled with his previous second and fourth places, Serralles leads the championship heading to round two next weekend at Timaru. Auer lies second with Derani third and Cassidy hovering just behind in fourth. Fellow Kiwis Leitch and Scott are eighth and 16th respectively.
It was also the opening round of the NZV8 championship, with three of the new generation cars in the field. Former V8 Supercars driver Jason Bargwanna suffered mechanical dramas with his new car in race one, allowing Martin Short, driving a new Toyota Camry V8, to become the first driver to win an NZV8 race in something other than a Holden or a Ford.
Bargwanna was at his best in his new-generation Holden in Sunday's two races, romping away in both. He was particularly good in the last race after starting from the bag of the grid around 30 seconds after the old cars took off.
Within half a dozen laps he was in the lead but had to pit so went to rear of the field. Only the new-generation cars had to pit so Bargwanna proceeded to monster the field again and regained the lead with a lap to go. Short managed to unwind himself in the Toyota to take second place. Bargwanna leads the NZV8 TLX championship by one point from Short.
AJ Lauder leads the NZV8s TL championship from another newcomer to the category, Shaun Varney, and local driver Grant Molloy.
Close racing in Formula Ford produced three different winners, Christchurch drivers James Munro and Michael Collins, and local man Brendon Leitch. Collins and Leitch are tied for the lead in the championship.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper

With its exquisite lemon-oil fragrance, lemon verbena adds a sophisticated accent to a creamy vanilla cheesecake. Lemon verbena is also a perfect complement to strawberries. A generous quantity of fruit and a slender slice of cheesecake make a balanced finish to a fine meal.
Nutrition Profile:
Healthy Weight
Low Calorie
Low Cholesterol
Low Sodium
Serves 16
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 270 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap the outside of the pan with a double thickness of foil. Put a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath.
Step 2
To prepare crust: Pulse vanilla wafers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Add oil and pulse to blend. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. (Rinse and dry the workbowl.)
Step 3
To prepare filling: Process cottage cheese in the food processor until very smooth and silky, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. Add cream cheese and process until smooth. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla and salt; process until well blended. Add eggs and pulse several times just until mixed in. Sprinkle in lemon verbena (or lemon balm); mix with a rubber spatula. (Do not process.) Scrape the filling into the crust.
Step 4
Place the cheesecake in a shallow roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to come 1 inch up the outside of the springform pan. Bake until the edges are set but the center quivers slightly, 50 to 55 minutes. Turn off the oven. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour.
Step 5
Remove foil from pan. Cover cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
Step 6
To prepare topping: About 1/2 hour before serving, rinse strawberries. Set aside 3 whole berries for garnish; hull remaining berries and slice into a bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar and toss to coat. Let stand until strawberries are juicy, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 7
To serve, place cheesecake on a platter and run a knife around the inside of the pan; remove pan sides. Make 3 lengthwise cuts in each whole berry; press lightly and arrange fanned berries in the center of the cheesecake. Garnish with a sprig of lemon verbena (or lemon balm). Top each serving with strawberries and juice and garnish with another sprig of verbena (or lemon balm).

- Miki Ando was impressive in this SP, she certainly improved her over skating aside from jumps compared to last year. Precision used to be her weakness, now, it's starting to become a strength of hers
- Mao Asada disappointed me a little with her SP skate. Not so much on the miss of her 3A, but she seemed to be somewhat lacking in energy and enthusiasm. I also thought she could have sold the Tango a little more, which is generally performed with more feisty expression and movements whereas she wasn't quite there yet. Also, I like to see her to pay more attention to her in-between elements, which she continues to ignore for the most part.
- Rachael Flatt was impressive as well, this program really suited her. She related to her music and sold it well. Mission is a passionate piece of music and her interpretation, whether you like her style or not, delivers passion in her own way. Overall, I thought she was smooth, relaxed and not trying too hard. The 3F+2T combo as opposed to the 3-3 may not be such a bad idea because she maintains a flowing program that is clean. I like to see Rachael improve her SS a little more. In that, I want to see her attacking her program with more power and better speed, which still looks laborious at times. My assessment is that she would be ahead of Mao Asada in the SP in my book, though the lead would have been by merely 1 point so I have no problem that the panel chose to give the edge to Mao by about the same margin, it's called legitimate difference in opinion.
- Mirai Nagasu demonstrated tremendous talent that still needs more work and polish. She continues to have issues with her jumps even when they appear to be clean. The rest of her technical elements were solid though her biggest issue in my opinion is to be able to create a strong impression with a suitable music that would make her memorable. To do that, she needs to differentiate herself by choosing something she can relate to better than what she currently have. Big grin is nice but to go to the next level, the expression needs to convey the music better than just smiling during the program so that expression, facial, body and everything becomes a genuine part of the performance as opposed to something you have to do because it's required. She should also pay more attention to her transitions because other girls are still doing more than she does right now
- Alissa Czisny had a bad day. She was cautious and didn't attack enough in her jumps or her performance. She will need to be more "aggressive" and commanding in her skating in order to sell her programs to their potential. Aside from that, her spins continued to lead the field and provides some nice cushion for her even when her jumps failed. Though, if she wants to medal here and at Worlds, she will need to skate like the new Alissa.
As soon as Alissa started skating I thought oh, she looks a bit slow and cautious. I know she's not known for her speed anyway but she seemed more tentative than she has been. Still, overall, I was so relieved that she recovered from her fall and thought to add the combo to her flip. I hope she's at least pleased about that and that it doesn't rattle her for tonight. This is what I would be telling her if I were Yuka and Jason...
Last edited by Layfan; 02-19-2011 at 07:11 PM.
I also wanted to add that her extension is much improved as well. Her catch foot spin looks do much better than it did earlier in the season.
Last edited by MK's Winter; 02-19-2011 at 07:40 PM.
It will be interesting to see how Alissa fares tonight. The fact that she had the presence of mind and determination to get a combination in despite the fall makes me cautiously optimistic. The old Alissa probably would have messed up the flip as well, and consequently buried herself in the standings.
Well, that, and CoP footwork is often a shame in general. I admire her energy, and the spread eagle in the footwork is a great highlight, but overall it's a bit incongruous and overlong.
I can't wait till the LP.
I'm always happy when wallylutz steps in to say things I wish I could say so well.
Canadian arenas, in contrast, seem packed for most skating events .
World Championships in Tokyo, of course, has long been sold out. It's going to be crazy.

How difficult is the GWAPT certification
Is there anyone out there whom has taken both the GPEN and GWAPT certs? If so which was more difficult please?
GPEN is a certification that will be linked to Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking, a course developed by Ed Skoudis of InGuardians.
Dark_Knight wrote:For the guys who say the GWAPT was harder than the GPEN, what is your background? Is it in development/programming or network admin stuff?
apollo wrote:Dark_Knight wrote:For the guys who say the GWAPT was harder than the GPEN, what is your background? Is it in development/programming or network admin stuff?
Both, I program in c/c++/php/perl/python/ruby/lua predominantly but am not a true developer. The reason the web stuff is harder course wise is that there is much more subtlety to what you are doing. Do you need a ' or a " when you are doing a specific injection. What happens when the script upper cases every command you type for command injection (unix doesn't like that much). Those sort of things you don't have to deal with as much in the network pen testing classes.
That said, I should say if you have no programming background at all, you may find 542 even more challenging. There are days in there to teach basic scripting, but you will be slower than your counterparts who have some very basic experience in programing/scripting. That said, you don't have to have programming knowledge to take the course, you will do ok without it, but you will have to work harder.

A woman adopted a German Shepherd puppy and then bought a house and moved. She found out her new neighbor's son raised beautiful rabbits, and she worried that her puppy might get into the neighbor's yard and hurt or kill a rabbit. So she spent months and months training the puppy not to leave her yard, and on several occasions she even bragged to the neighbor at how well the puppy was doing with the training.
However, months later the woman happens to see her dog trotting happily back into the yard with a dead rabbit in his mouth! The woman was horrified, but she was so embarrassed that she could not bring herself to tell her neighbor what the dog had done. She decided to wash and dry the rabbit and then sneak back into her neighbor's yard and put the rabbit back in a cage.
A week or so later, the woman ran into her neighbor at the store and the neighbor said, "Ya know a strange thing happened. One of my son's rabbits died of old age and he buried it in the back yard. Only to find it back in a cage a few days later!"

Boulder, CO – April 24, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software and other security technologies for the enterprise and consumers, today announced the appointment of Paul Lipman, a renowned Internet services and e-commerce executive to the newly created position of Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Business Sales. In this new position, Lipman will be responsible for all aspects of Webroot's flourishing consumer business including both the retail and e-commerce divisions worldwide.
Lipman brings over 16 years of industry experience to his new position at Webroot. He most recently served as General Manager of Global Services at Keynote Systems Inc, a publicly traded eBusiness performance management services provider. While at Keynote, Lipman was responsible for managing and growing all of Keynote's global consulting, customer experience management and competitive intelligence services.
"As Webroot continues to expand its global presence in the consumer markets, it is essential that we have a unified leadership team that can drive sales, partnerships and growth towards a single, comprehensive goal," said David Moll, CEO of Webroot Software. "We believe that Paul's experience and his strategic vision will propel Webroot to a new level of growth in the consumer markets and further cement Webroot's leadership position in the anti-spyware industry."
Prior to joining Keynote, Paul served as Vice President of Business Development and Sales at Enviz Inc., a business intelligence software company. He also served as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at E-Greetings Network, a high-regarded e-commerce network. Lipman was on the senior executive management team when E-Greetings went public in 1999 and was responsible for brokering many lucrative partnerships with high-profile companies like Microsoft, NBC and Universal Music.
"The increasingly pervasive nature of spyware leaves consumers especially vulnerable to the damaging effects of spyware infection," said Lipman. "Since the spyware threat first emerged, Webroot has been regarded throughout the world as the undisputed leader in anti-spyware protection. Webroot's commitment to consumers has been consistently proven by the company's actions – developing the most advanced technologies and research methodologies, educating consumers on the perils of spyware and constantly encouraging the internet services industry to provide better protection and resources to consumers. I'm extremely excited to become a part of that commitment and further expand Webroot's global leadership position."
Lipman holds an MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business and a BSc(Hons) in Physics from Manchester University in England.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Two years after strongly opposing a 4-cent cigarette tax renewal, Gov. Bobby Jindal is considering his own larger proposal to raise tobacco taxes.
The Jindal administration has floated the idea to lawmakers for the upcoming legislative session that begins in April, as part of a proposed rewrite of the state's tax code.
Anti-smoking groups are cheering the turnaround, saying it's well past time that Louisiana — whose tobacco taxes are nearly the lowest in the nation — boost costs as a way to discourage smoking.
A cigarette tax hike is being considered in the Republican governor's plans to get rid of the state's personal and business income taxes and raise the state sales tax. But Jindal's office says the whole tax rewrite wouldn't increase state income or shrink it.

Re: Help me.......
calagahan, welcome to the forums.
I would not worry too much,as long as it is an occasional treat.
As far as telling him that they are not made anymore, well I have always been very honest with my children. If I were you I would just tell him that you don't think that they are very good to eat all the time and he can still have them sometimes for a treat.

Re: Help me.......
Thanks GeoffP... salt content is 0.75 g per 'stick' so there off the menu even though they are just a treat in the fridge for every now and then.
mummza thanks for your reply but please try not to be so patronizing. We do tell our children whats good or not too good for them.

Re: Help me.......
Welcome Calagahan,
That salt content is high, I don't blame you not giving them to the kids any more.
I don't think Mummza was trying to be patronising, more like warning that the kids would catch you out as you walked round Tesco's, and saw them on the shelf !.
Keep smiling,

Re: Help me.......
I buy them on occasion, usually the lowest fat ones which I think are the mozza ones. My package says 140 mg, is that too much? They sure don't taste very salty to me When my children keep asking me for certain goodies, I just tell them I only buy them on sale or sorry, it's not a healthy choice and offer an alternative just like you are doing I am sure. I don't take them shopping with me anymore either, lol.

Re: Help me.......
or should we lie and tell him they dont make them anymore :help: :help: :help:
Calagahan, Sorry if you think that I was being patronising....I definatly was NOT.
You had read in your posting suggested that you might " lie and tell him they don't make them anymore"
I was just pointing out that this is never a good idea and as Ady has said....'kids would catch you out as you walked around Tesco's, and saw them on the shelf !'

Re: Help me.......
If your kids like stringy cheese try warming up some Buffalo Mozzarella mate...
Good quality Buffalo Mozzarella is worth serving on its own but can also be served with a good extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, or as a salad with tomatoes and avocados or with roasted red and green peppers and strips of sun-dried tomatoes.
On cooking mozzarella becomes extremely stringy and is the first choice of cheese to use in pizzas.
I always say steer clear of over-processed rubbish and get kids eating the good stuff.... there is always a realy good equivalent to most low quality junk foods!
All the best

Great job boys. Thanks for taking the extra time to get it right!
Those few days of down time would have been unbearable if they turned into a few weeks of down time heading into training camp.

Not sure what the overall goal was for the change, but you really have a pretty fast, responsive and shockingly easy to navigate (I'm old) new board here.
Very nice work across the board (no pun intended)
Beautiful but it needs more blue...too much white.

After such a moving experience we sought higher ground. 550 feet higher to be exact at the top of the Washington Monument, the tallest mason structure in the world. Splendid views at high noon with crystal clear weather gave us a perfect 360 of the layout of this great town.
After such an uplifting experience we sought cooler ground. To the National Museum of American History! Lincoln's top hat the night he was shot…Jackie's blood stained dress…Archie Bunker's chair…Clinton's saxophone…the Star Spangled Banner…were just a dot on the radar of thousands of dots in this huge museum. We had to pick and choose, (which I hated doing) but you could spend two days in their alone…and the Smithsonian has 18 more museums just like it!
The sun is starting to creep over the Potomac now, so we head west toward Arlington National Cemetery. I will not sit here and describe what I felt there…cause I simply can't. Maybe my images can. Rows and Rows. Kennedy. Challenger. 9.11 Pentagon employees. Unknown Soldier
Dinner in the Foggy Bottom district helped lighten the mood. Calamari and pizza in this crammed 10 table bistro was wonderful. Waiters rushed by, swinging their hips from side-to-side to navigate the narrow table separation, while the sound of clanking forks hit ceramic plates. Orders were being yelled into the kitchen every few seconds to a crew hiding behind the effervescent flames and smoke hissing into the packed room. The heavy oak walls were adorned with headshots of all who had been in….the likes of "the" who's who in DC. I scanned the room….no luck on any celebrities or power brokers tonight.
We had to walk off that rich, but great dinner. Enjoy the images from our night tour. The District is so much more powerful at night without all of the crowds. Need to catch the Lincoln at night. Couldn't tonight with all the walking we did.
So now I sit with I wish ice packs for each foot. I will settle for the comforts of my bed. Albeit with the drapes cracked open so I can keep an eye on that glowing Capitol within a stone's throw. Tomorrow we meet our Congressman Pete Olson and head to the Library of Congress, the Capitol (with both Chambers), the Supreme Court, and who knows what else the city will deliver. First Lesson: Be flexible.
Day two in DC a smashing success. My feet will disagree though. Dispatch Out.

Urban Threads Ink
Check out this awesome new ink from Urban Threadster Laurel!
She used our Shoulder Swallows design to stitch this beautiful tattoo on the back of her neck. I think this is a really gorgeous rendition of these designs.
Laurel isn't the first UT fan to get inked. I thought it high time to do a quick roundup of all the Urban Threads inspired ink we've had come in since we started making designs…
Urban Threadster Amanda got a gorgeous mix of our steampunk koi and earth mother.
Urban Threadster Becky went under the gun to get this gorgeous stitchy creation. Isn't she such a doll? Incidentally, this same design was used recently to be turned into a real life doll!
Flickr user Terryboc used our flourish design to take her wolf, representing her father, and her horse, representing her mother, and tie it all together.
Jacqueline got this sweet steampunk tattoo, based on the steampunk butterfly design.
Cap'n Linda with her favorite UT skully, based on our Celtic Skull design. Seriously, she's a pirate captain. She even has a matching flag.
Finally, Annie got the tattoo-style Craft or Die design as an actual tattoo on her arm. I just adore the colors in this one.
*EDIT* – We have a new one!
Heather loved the Earth Mother design so much, she got this gorgeous tattoo inspired by it. I love the interpretation by the tattoo artist.
Got an Urban Threads tattoo of your own? Share a photo — we'd love to see!

Coroner's investigators confirmed Tuesday the identity of a Redondo Beach man who may have committed suicide by jumping off of a cliff in Palos Verdes Estates on Monday morning.
Joey Choudhury, 37, was found dead between the cliff's edge and the shoreline in the 1400 block of Paseo del Mar at 7:30 a.m. Monday, coroner's officials said. His car was found parked illegally nearby the night before. Authorities had not determined the manner of death by Tuesday afternoon, but it was being investigated as a suicide.
According to his website, Choudhury worked as a senior programmer at Ignited USA, an El Segundo-based advertising agency.

Excerpt: "Two wrongful-death lawsuits over the suicide of Junior Seau have been consolidated with NFL concussion litigation in Philadelphia.
A key hearing in the NFL case is set for next week, when lawyers for thousands of former players will try to keep the issue in federal court. The league wants the claims heard in arbitration, under terms of the collective bargaining agreement.The Seau lawsuits were moved from California, where the 43-year-old linebacker died May 2 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His survivors allege that throughout his career he sustained violent hits that caused traumatic brain injury, depression and ultimately his death.Seau played for San Diego, Miami and New England during a 20-year career, which ended with his retirement in 2009. He was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, after his death.Nearly 4,000 former players have filed concussion-related lawsuits, accusing the NFL of hiding the risks of concussions and head injuries and glorifying violence on the field.
"This success comes at a price to the players who make the game great," Seau's parents, Tiaina and Luisa Seau, said in their lawsuit.The other lawsuit was filed on behalf of Seau's four children. The family is seeking an unspecified monetary amount for compensatory and other damages.Lawyers involved in the class action litigation also want the league to provide medical monitoring for former players.The NFL doesn't plan to comment on the issue until the April 9 court arguments before U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody, spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday." Read more...

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

After his time in the slammer, Aleric "AJ" Constantine hit the streets of Miami under a new name, Po-Po Pops, making ice cream inspired by the slammer and the cops who put him there, like a pop made of Krispy Kreme-flavored ice cream, candied bacon, and fudge.
The police in Miami have not articulated any legitimate basis for jumping on 14-year-old Tremaine McMillian, throwing him to the ground, placing him in choke hold, terrorizing him until he urinated on himself.
Given the state's current political climate, it's unlikely Florida will change its drug paraphernalia laws any time soon, which means the residents of inner city Miami will need to continue to watch their step.
The rape of a 27-year-old Miami woman while working highlights the legal obligation that Florida businesses have to provide a safe environment not only for customers but for their employees.
The Miami police announced they have dedicated a nine-man police squad to focus on a single Liberty City apartment complex. Is this life imitating film?

A knowledgeable and experienced arborist knows that all tree pruning is not equal. The arborist assesses each tree individually and then decides what type of pruning the tree is in need of. Crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, crown restoration, deadwood pruning and training pruning are nationally accepted standards of tree pruning developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The standards are extensive and involved. They are there to protect the consumer. At Wachtel Tree Science our knowledgeable and experienced Certified Arborists will help you benefit from these standards and assist you in determining what type of pruning your trees will need.
The different types of tree pruning are:
Crown cleaning: is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weak, low vigor branches from a tree's crown. This standard is one of the most commonly used.
Crown thinning: includes all of the above in crown cleaning and in addition the remaining live canopy is selectively thinned out to increase light penetration and air movement. It is also useful for reducing weight on branch ends. Crown thinning should never exceed more than 25% of the live crown being removed. 15-20% is typical.
Deadwood pruning: is just as it sounds. The deadwood is properly pruned out of the tree's entire crown.
The three pruning types listed above are required to be denoted with a diameter size. This means that specific attention will be placed on branches of that diameter and larger common examples are 1/4",1/2",1" or 2" diameter branches and larger.
Crown raising: is the pruning off of the lower branches to provide clearance. This clearance could be needed for houses, lights, garages, utility lines, vehicle or pedestrian traffic or to clear other plants. Crown raising alone does not address needs that are met in a crown cleaning, crown thinning or deadwood pruning. Crown raising is usually done in conjunction with other pruning.
Training pruning: is the most under used category of pruning. Training pruning is done with the specific intent to promote the best branch spacing and a single leader which will develop a superior form as the tree matures. Future form is the goal. Trees that receive training pruning while young tend to require less pruning as they mature.
Always consider, properly pruned trees look better, are safer, more healthy and increase value to your property. At Wachtel Tree Science, HEALTHY TREES are what we do.
All tree pruning is not equal. What is needed for one tree may not be appropriate for another. Finding an arborist who knows this is very important. At Wachtel Tee Science our knowledgeable and experienced Certified Arborists will help you determine what type of pruning is needed for your trees. The standard has been set; don't play games of chance with untrained tree cutters. CHOOSE THE LEADER -- CHOOSE WACHTEL!!!!!

was the bee shortage this year as dramatic as they represented?
Pretty depressing. There were certainly elements of truth, but they were mixed with mass generalizations, with an incomplete story. There were high bee losses and that is true. But, they didn't discuss the fact that there also good bees that came out of those same conditions.
Sunflowers may have saved our summer. There was no sweet clover, the alfalfa was eaten up by weevels early on, and the drought dried up anything else. A late shot of rain caused the sunflowers to kick out a late flow of nectar which was basically the honey crop. The bees that were not near sunflowers had shrunk to small clusters and had high mite loads by the end of the summer, and those hives were the hardest hit this winter. The hives on sunflower nectar were the strongest hives this spring going into and coming out of almonds.
Tina, very well said.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
there were a lot of high profile beekeepers in that report,
Adee, Johnston, Miller,
Im a Canadian, and I have herd of these guys
do you not consider these guys high profile?
I watched and IMO the show hit the nail on the head as a state of our industry and some of the challenges we all face.
I have personal experience with the situation and know or know of everyone that was interviewed.
One thing I will share is that Lyle Johnson in the past has sounded like some on this site that PPB has been the problem, but reality has caught up with him as with many of us, as the quote goes" these times are a changin"
As to the sunflowers, yes 70% of all my hives that where anywhere near sunflowers died and the hives furthest away agriculture look great.
I personally believe all that was stated on the show is accurate because I have had these conversations with all of the beekeeper interviewed , either first or second hand!
Larry Pender,Jubilee HoneyBee Company,Camarillo, CA
Adee had MITE problems, Lyle & I had a three hour phone call today, & Miller
John Miller called me a couple years ago, he said a freind of his sent him my way, said he was losing 30% over the winter and that my sub would help. So when we spoke I recomended two 5 pound rounds in the fall. John said do you know how much money that is... I said do you know how much there paying for dead outs in the almonds.
Here's the deal Tony Noyes & John Miller run the same places ND summer winter in cellars in ID and almonds CA, but have very different out comes, ones feeds heavy sub & one does not.

Torrington >> The Torrington Board of Education has called a special meeting for 6 p.m. today to discuss a response to a "recent allegation" against the board.
The agenda does not detail what "allegation" will be discussed. After "call to order"�and "roll call,"�agenda items include "response to allegations,"�"vote on direction of response"�and "adjournment."
The meeting will be held at the school district offices at 355 Migeon Ave.
The board has faced criticism over the past week after holding a "nonpublic" session in which member Vincent Merola was instructed to stop writing letters to the editor that were appearing in The Register Citizen.
Chairman Ken�Traub explained that the board has a policy of not allowing individual members to comment to the press so that the board can maintain "one voice." He said that the public can be misled and jump to conclusions when "internal"�board discussions are aired before a final decision is made.
In an "open letter"�printed on the front page of this morning's Register Citizen, Group Editor Matt DeRienzo pointed out that all "internal"�board discussions are open to the public anyway, and contends that the policy is illegal and represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of an elected government board.
Traub said Monday morning that "four board members"�called the meeting to discuss "what actions need to be taken"�about The Register Citizen's criticism of the board.
He criticized the paper for not including "facts" in its reporting about the issue.
What "action" could be taken?�"The possibilities are infinite,"�he said.
Traub suggested that the newspaper was "only" raising the issue as a way to negatively affect his wife, Wendy Traub's, candidacy on Tuesday for the District 65 state representative race.

The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

I remember it was a lovely day, we all took acid and snuck in Johnny Walker Black in our boots. I remember Lee Michaels, and the folkie guy(forgot his name) he was just playing guitar, he was kinda ragged, but we were also getting pretty high by the time Led Zep came on, I remember when they opened with Rock and Roll, all these doves (?) were released and wow it was impressive. What a great show it was, My last Led Zep concert, I was 18 at the time. Saw them 2 years before at Oakland Coliseum, that was fantastic also, but seeing the band outside on a lovely day was the BEST!!!!!!

Massive shale gas fields in the US are providing a plentiful source of hydrogen, and H2USA stakeholders say they will work together to leverage these low cost natural gas resources. A number of automakers, including Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota, have joined H2USA.
While former DOE secretary Steven Chu was deeply resented by the hydrogen industry for backing electric vehicles over hydrogen, that relationship had been improving before he left office. Last year, Chu admitted he'd changed his mind about hydrogen fuel cells.
The California Fuel Cell Partnership (which is also working with H2USA, see the complete list in the press release below) has committed to bringing 70 hydrogen stations to the state by 2016. The DOE's support of H2USA should further salve the wound from the Obama administration's split with the hydrogen industry.
WASHINGTON -- The Energy Department today launched H2USA -- a new public-private partnership focused on advancing hydrogen infrastructure to support more transportation energy options for U.S. consumers, including fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The new partnership brings together automakers, government agencies, gas suppliers, and the hydrogen and fuel cell industries to coordinate research and identify cost-effective solutions to deploy infrastructure that can deliver affordable, clean hydrogen fuel in the United States.
"Fuel cell technologies are an important part of an all-of-the-above approach to diversify America's transportation sector, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and increase our competitiveness in the global market," said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Danielson. "By bringing together key stakeholders from across the U.S. fuel cell and hydrogen industry, the H2USA partnership will help advance affordable fuel cell electric vehicles that save consumers money and give drivers more options."
Current members of the H2USA partnership include the American Gas Association, Association of Global Automakers, the California Fuel Cell Partnership, the Electric Drive Transportation Association, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association, Hyundai Motor America, ITM Power, Massachusetts Hydrogen Coalition, Mercedes-Benz USA, Nissan North America Research and Development, Proton OnSite, and Toyota Motor North America.
"The fact that a number of entities are coming together to work together through this partnership is a very positive sign," said Morry Markowitz, President & Executive Director, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association.
Recent development of the United States' tremendous shale gas resources has not only helped directly cut electricity and transportation costs for consumers and businesses, but is also helping to reduce the costs of producing hydrogen and operating hydrogen fuel cells. While American automakers and private industry have made significant progress, H2USA will bring experts together to identify and solve key infrastructure challenges, including leveraging low cost natural gas resources.
Through H2USA, industry and government partners will focus on identifying actions to encourage early adopters of fuel cell electric vehicles, conduct coordinated technical and market analysis, and evaluate alternative fueling infrastructure that can enable cost reductions and economies of scale. For example, infrastructure being developed for alternative fuels such as natural gas, as well as fuel cell applications including tri-generation that produce heat, power and hydrogen from natural gas or biogas, may also provide low cost hydrogen for vehicles. In addition, increased fuel cell deployment for combined heat and power, back-up power systems and fuel cell forklifts can help pave the way for mainstream hydrogen vehicle infrastructure.
With support from the Energy Department, private industry and the Department's national laboratories have already achieved significant advances in fuel cell and hydrogen technologies – reducing costs and improving performance. These research and development efforts have helped reduce automotive fuel cell costs by more than 35 percent since 2008 and by more than 80 percent since 2002. At the same time, fuel cell durability has doubled and the amount of expensive platinum needed in fuel cells has fallen by 80 percent since 2005.
