By Anthony de Bruyn
Director of Public Affairs, UT System Office of External Affairs
(Feb. 26, 2008)--The University of Texas System announced Feb. 22 a $75,000 grant from the Dallas-based Meadows Foundation to fund distribution of the groundbreaking PBS series, "State of Tomorrow," to every public middle school and high school in the state.

"The Meadows Foundation is pleased to partner with the UT System in making this extraordinary documentary series, and the new curriculum accompanying it, available to teachers and students in our Texas middle schools and high schools," said foundation president and CEO Linda P. Evans. "'State of Tomorrow' will open new and inspiring worlds for students by demonstrating how public higher education can shape the futures of individuals, our neighborhoods and our world," Evans added.
Beginning this spring, the Texas Library Association will help facilitate the distribution of the 13-part series, which examines how academic institutions throughout Texas are addressing challenges of the future and how they already impact daily life in everything from medicine to environmental quality.
"The Texas Library Association is thrilled to be a partner with the University of Texas System and the Meadows Foundation in facilitating distribution of this award-winning documentary series through our state's secondary school libraries," said Steve Brown, director of the North Richland Hills Public Library and president of the Texas Library Association. "Making this information accessible to as many students as possible is a very worthy endeavor."
Boxed sets will include a curriculum guide so that the series may be incorporated into lesson plans at secondary schools in each of the state's 1,040-plus public school districts. The series, co-produced by the University of Texas Foundation and sponsored by AT&T, ExxonMobil and IBC Bank, began airing last spring on PBS stations across the state.
"We believe this series will stimulate young people to pursue college degrees and to tackle the most challenging technological, social, environmental and economic problems of our time," UT System Chancellor Mark G. Yudof said.
The "State of Tomorrow" series garnered two Lone Star EMMYs during a gala Oct. 27 in Dallas. The awards are given annually by the Texas chapter of the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences. The PBS series was nominated for five of the awards.
The academy recognized the series in the area of graphic arts-animation and singled out one episode in the public/current/community affairs category.

Just found this on my sticky board - mites on a beatle!
Just found this on my sticky board - mites on a beatle!
Everything has mites--they are among the most ubiquitous arthropods known. Even at least 50% of us have mites--Demodex spp., or follicle mites.
There are others that can be worse, like scabies mites. Hopefully the mites on that hive beetle are parasitic and cause beetle death.
They are just trying to climb back up into the hive and that's a high spot...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I don't think they are varroas but another phoretic mite--probably same order (mesostigmata) though you can't tell from the pic. The separation between the front two pairs of legs and the last two pairs of legs on those mites tells me it's not varroa, but the pic is a little fuzzy. If you look at the varroa all four pairs of legs are bunched at the front of the body near the "head".
Yes J, I agree those are some different mites - they were maybe 1/4 size of a varroa - barely visible.
i find black and orange beetles here who are on the ground struggling, or having a hard time flying and they are always covered in some type of mite. its disturbing.
Hi,I lost my instructions for check mite plus,can someone tell me how to use it for verro mites ? ccan the bees walk on it ? Thanks
Before man took over bees there was nature,it did a better job.

When I first saw this packet I assumed it was a simple sachet that you add to mince to make hamburger patties.
On closer inspection, however, one of its main attractions is the fact that it "makes meat go 50 per cent further". In other words, it has breadcrumbs in it.
This product comes under my classification of "convenience foods that actually don't save you that much time".
Sure, you can tip the contents of this sachet into mince with water and make hamburger patties. But for just a few minutes more of your time you could chop up an onion, break an egg and throw some breadcrumbs into your mince instead - and save yourself these ingredients in the process.
• Breadcrumbs (43 per cent), cereal and cereal flours (wheat and soy) - This tells us that 43 per cent of this sachet is made up of breadcrumbs.
On closer inspection I would debate the use of the word "breadcrumbs" as the contents of this sachet look more like flour than something that has been baked and then made into crumbs. However, when I rubbed it together there were some very fine breadcrumbs in here. The flours used come from wheat and soy.
• Yeast - This is what you use to make bread, which is why it is in here.
• Vinegar - This is also used sometimes in the making of bread, but could be in here as a preservative or a flavouring.
• Iodised salt - All salt used in bread made in New Zealand must be iodised.
• Vegetable oil - Not sure what oil is used here.
• Emulsifiers (471, 481, 472e) - There are three emulsifiers in this product, which are mono and diglycerides of fatty acids (471), sodium lactylate (481) and fatty acid esters of glycerol. None have any health issues but you don't need to use them in home cooking.
• Preservative (282) - This is calcium propionate, which is mainly used in processed foods as a mould inhibitor.
• Vitamins (thiamine, folic acid) - I'm not sure why vitamins have been added here, it's not like this is a breakfast cereal or that the makers are promoting these vitamins on the packaging. I can only think that they were already in the bread that was made into breadcrumbs.
• Wheat flour - I presume this is extra flour added, which is why the texture of this mix is so powdery.
• Wheat gluten - Gluten is often added to processed foods to emulsify, keep powders such as this free flowing or as a thickener.
• Salt - This product is VERY high in salt. At 937mg sodium per 25g serving this is how much some people should consume in a day. Dietary guidelines are between 920 and 1600mg per day.
• Sugar - You'll get just 1.3g per serving so this is in here mainly as a flavouring.
• Herbs and spices - Unsure what these are.
• Dehydrated onion - This is dried onion.
• Worcestershire sauce powder - This will be dried Worcestershire sauce.
• Flavours (milk, wheat) - No mention of natural flavours here so will probably be artificial, although flavours obtained from milk, i.e. cheese, are usually natural.
• Hydrolised vegetable protein (maize) - This is otherwise known as HVP and is created when soy is boiled in hydrochloric acid and then broken down with sodium hydroxide to release the protein. It is used in foods as a flavour enhancer and sometimes as a protein filler.
• Made in Australia from local and imported ingredients - I include this here because it is very puzzling that much of the packaging emphasises the fact that Diamond is a "Kiwi owned business and value you, our customers". And the original company does date back to the 1880s yet this product is made in Australia and imported.
My recommendations
The instructions say to mix with mince and water and then leave to stand for five minutes.
Well, in that five minutes you could easily chop an onion, process old bread to make cup breadcrumbs, throw these into 500g mince, add in an egg, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, some salt and pepper and there you have it.
Instead of something that tells us on its packaging that it gives "real homemade taste", you can create your own homemade taste without the addition of emulsifiers, HVP, flavourings, preservative and a lot of salt.
• Very high in salt
• Contains flavouring
• Uses emulsifiers HVP and preservatives

Is Eli as good as Joe Montana? No.... but at this stage..... I would take him over Big Ben, Rivers, Schuab, Ryan, Vick, Romo, RGIII, Luck, ect. In fact, the only QBs that are playing (or have played) in the same era as Eli that I would "consider" taking over him are Peyton, Brady, Favre, and maybe Brees. Even then I would have to give some serious thought about taking Brady & Favre; Eli has beat those guys when it counted multiple times.
To sum it up, Montana is the best to play the position to date.... in my humble opinion. Guys like Marino were good quality QBs, but the fact they never won a SB lumps them into a different category of good players but for whatever reason did not produce a championship.
Just to add one last wrinke.... durability. Of the above mentioned QBs, besides Favre, who has been the most durable? (just doing my part to keep this thread going through the end of the year)
how come Terry Bradshaw is never thrown in there with those guys.
with 4 rings and no losses ...and i'm not so sure his stats aren't online with Joe Cool.
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
Compare that with Joe's record of twice the TDs to Ints (273/139), QBR of 92.3, 63.2% completions, and 40k yards passing and it's not even close.
Bradshaw is widely seen as a product of his team vs. his team being a product of him.
A slippery slope to be sure considering the conversations we've been having but the stats definitely support that.

Can't we just enjoy watching our team play without this impulsive and foolish need to try to lump our very good, but flawed QB in with all time greats?
This is ridiculous. In the list of all time great QB's, Eli isn't even in any conversation. He's not in the top 30, probably not in the top 50. He's not even in the top 5 of QB's right now.
You guys drive me nuts. And that's why these silly arguments go on and on. Some of you posters try to make these absolutely ridiculous arguments about Eli that are pure fantasy.
You cling to these two playoff runs which were as much about our great defense during those runs than our QB, and use it to put Eli in some lofty catagory as if all his uneven play during the other 95% of his career never happened. I am very thankful for those runs. They gave me some of my greatest thrills as a Giants fan. Please spare me the "our QB is an all time great" nonsense.
Just enjoy our team. This is a very good era to be a Giants fan. We have an outstanding coach and a solid QB.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

Confirmed: Line-up of speakers at Democratic convention is simply terrible
posted at 3:21 pm on August 31, 2012 by Allahpundit
Ace wrote about this yesterday but I didn't have time to look at the list until now. Go see for yourself. I went through it being as objective as I could about who might be interesting to watch as a young, impressive, highly touted leader of the future in the Rubio, Ryan, Christie, Jindal, Susana Martinez, Rand Paul, Brian Sandoval, Mia Love mold. Out of a list of 75 or so names, here's what I've got — and I'm stretching even on some of these, just so that I've got something.
— Cory Booker, who hasn't held statewide office;
— Julian Castro, who also hasn't held statewide office but apparently is the best Democrats can do by way of a Rubio-esque Latino political rising star;
— Tammy Baldwin, who's far left even by the standards of the House Democratic caucus and is highly likely to lose to Tommy Thompson in this year's Wisconsin Senate race;
— Kamala Harris, the AG of California and certified union stooge, who'll likely follow Jerry Brown as Democratic administrator of the state's Greece-like fiscal disintegration
That's basically it. I'm a little curious to see Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, just because he's scrapped with Chris Christie a few times. And of course there's Fauxcahontas, the great liberal hope of the future, who's already 63 and has run a sufficiently dismal campaign that she's trailing Scott Brown in the bluest of blue states. Beyond that, it's nothing but no-names; exhausted party retreads a la Pelosi and Kerry; Charlie Crist and Linc Chafee for comic relief; and a few NARAL/Planned Parenthood types to remind America what's really important with unemployment still stuck above eight percent. That's what's on tap this year from the Party of Youth and Fresh Ideas.
Exit question: Where's Andrew Cuomo?

Iphones are the root of all evil.. luckily Im not apart of their system! I am FREE MAN
Iphones are the root of all evil.. luckily Im not apart of their system! I am FREE MAN
This article provides former MobileMe members with information about an extension to their complimentary storage.
Products Affected
As a thank you to our former MobileMe members who moved to iCloud, we have extended the complimentary storage upgrade they received until September 30, 2013. This extension applies to accounts moved to iCloud between October 12th, 2011 and August 1st, 2012.
How do I know if the complimentary storage extension applies to me?
If you are a former MobileMe member and had access to more than 5GB of MobileMe storage when you moved your account to iCloud, then you received a complimentary iCloud storage upgrade automatically. That upgrade has now been extended, free of charge.
How much complimentary storage did I receive?
Your complimentary storage upgrade was based on the amount of MobileMe storage you were paying for when you moved to iCloud. You were granted either the 10GB, 20GB, or 50GB storage upgrade.
To check which storage upgrade you received:
On an iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud > Account.
On a Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then click Manage followed by View Account.
On a PC: Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows, then click Manage followed by View Account.
How long does the complimentary storage extension last?
We will continue to provide you with this additional storage until September 30, 2013, or until you choose to upgrade your iCloud storage plan.
Can I buy more storage if I need it?
Yes. If you need to upgrade your storage to a larger amount, you can purchase one of our standard storage upgrade plans at the regular price. Please note that when you purchase a new storage upgrade, it will replace your complimentary storage plan. If you cancel the upgrade at a later date, you will return to the standard free 5GB storage plan and will no longer have access to your complimentary storage upgrade.
What if I already upgraded my storage plan prior to this extension?
If you upgraded your storage plan before September 30, 2012, we have automatically extended your upgrade at no additional charge until September 30, 2013.
Can I transfer my complimentary storage upgrade to another account?
Your complimentary storage upgrade is not transferable. You can use it only with the iCloud account that you originally moved from MobileMe.
What's the gross margin on that? How about 93%. Yes, that's right Apple is selling you a gigabyte of additional memory for $6.25, while it buys it for merely $0.42.
i don't like how it just shows a fork and knife for a restaurant good has the name of the place which is alot better.

U.S. major general killed in Afghan attack [video]
A man believed to be an Afghan soldier opened fire at an Afghan military academy in Kabul on Tuesday, killing a U.S. general and wounding up to 15 other personnel, including a German general and eight Americans, U.S. and coalition officials said.
The American general is the highest-ranking U.S. service member killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Officials identified him as Maj. Gen. Harold Greene, deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan in Kabul.
U.S. officials said five of the eight wounded Americans are in serious condition. A number of British soldiers and three Afghan troops also were wounded.

Greene previously served as the Army's deputy for acquisition and systems management, a role in which he oversaw acquisition reform initiatives. He was commissioned as an engineer officer in 1980, after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.
The attack occurred at 12:23 p.m., according to an official at the German Embassy in Washington, who confirmed the wounding of a German brigadier general in the attack. The assailant was killed, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary. He would not say whether the shooter was killed by coalition troops or Afghans.
"It's a terrible day. It's a terrible tragedy," said Kirby, adding that coalition officials have no reason to believe that the shooter was not a member of the Afghan National Security Forces.
The attack occurred at the Marshal Fahim National Defense University, the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force said. The facility, in the Qarga district of Kabul province and west of the city, was known as the Afghan National Defense University until this year. It was renamed after the Afghan vice president and former military commander who died in March of an undisclosed illness.
A spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, and other Afghan officials described the attacker as a "terrorist dressed in an Afghan army uniform," who opened fire on a delegation of military visitors.
Sources at the Afghan Defense Ministry said the attacker was a member of the Afghan National Army for the past two years and was from southeastern Afghanistan. They did not identify him. They said he used a light assault rifle to fire on the foreign military delegation before he was fatally shot by Afghan personnel.
President Obama received a briefing on the attack from the ISAF commander, Gen. Joseph Dunford, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday. He reiterated that the administration believes that while Afghanistan remains a "dangerous" place, its security needs must be met by the Afghan government.
"While we have made tremendous progress in disrupting, dismantling and defeating al-Qaida operations and leadership in Afghanistan and progress in winding down U.S. involvement in that conflict, this shooting is, of course, a painful reminder of the service and sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make every day for this country," Earnest said.
The shooting occurred as plans for the future presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, after the final withdrawal of combat forces in December, remained in limbo. Delays continued in the slow process of auditing votes from the June runoff between presidential candidates Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, who have accused each other's campaigns of fraud.
Although Obama has said that 9,800 U.S. troops will remain for training and counterterrorism missions, their presence requires the new Afghan president to sign a bilateral security agreement with the United States. Inauguration of a successor to current President Hamid Karzai, originally scheduled for last Saturday, has been postponed indefinitely.
Both candidates agreed last month, in a deal brokered by Secretary of State John Kerry, to form a unity government after a complete recount of all 8 million votes cast. So far, only about 10 percent of the votes have been counted amid continuing controversy over which ballots should be invalidated, and the candidates themselves reportedly have made little progress in discussions on the terms of a power-sharing arrangement.
Karzai said in a statement that the victims of Tuesday's attack were visiting the academy as part of an effort "to help us build up the Afghan security forces." He blamed "enemies who don't want to see Afghanistan have strong institutions" for the assault.
The academy is a centerpiece of the coalition's plan to train the Afghan military. U.S. military officials have described it as "the West Point of Afghanistan," a reference to the U.S. Military Academy in New York.
The shooting Tuesday was one of few major incidents of "insider attacks" against Western forces in Afghanistan in recent months. Such attacks by Afghan trainees or soldiers against their Western instructors or colleagues has grown in frequency in the past several years but tapered off as a result of stricter security and screening measures at military facilities.
Taliban insurgent attacks, however, have been growing in number and scope in recent months, with dozens of deadly incidents involving unusually large numbers of insurgents. Officials have said the Taliban is testing the strength of Afghan security forces as U.S. and NATO troops continue their withdrawal and prepare to place the nation's defense largely in Afghan hands. Insider attacks have been a core concern of coalition troops in Afghanistan for years. As of June 24, there had been 87 there since 2008, killing 142 coalition troops and wounding 165, according to a tally kept by the Long War Journal.

Stillness on the Shores of Taylorsville Lake
Edgewater Resort at Taylorsville Lake • Taylorsville, KY
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a One-Bedroom Cottage with Hot Tub
- One $20 Credit for The Village Spa of Edgewater
- Deluxe Tasting and Tour for Two at Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center
- Tasting for Two at Talon Winery
- Two Cups of Coffee at The Tea Cup Cafe
The Destination
For every bustling city, there's a getaway town just a short drive away. For Louisvillians, whose city was recently hailed as "the new Portland" by Lonely Planet, that town is Taylorsville. Less than an hour from Derby City—and light years away from the fast pace of the concrete jungle—this blip on the map, a town of fewer than 2,000 people, plays host to beautiful Taylorsville Lake and an adjoining state park by the same name. Here, chirping birds and the clip-clop of horses make for a sweet retreat from the car horns and construction of the big city.
The Digs
The Edgewater Resort at Taylorsville Lake offers visitors the only waterfront development in the area. Each one-bedroom cottage comes complete with hardwood floors, kitchen appliances and cooking equipment, a washer and dryer, a hot tub on the rear deck, a stone fireplace, and amenities like satellite TV.
The Diversions
• Use your $20 credit at the Village Spa for a salt glow treatment with mineral-rich salts from the Dead Sea, or a therapeutic touch massage or deep-tissue massage
• Take an included tour and tasting at Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center
• Go for an included tasting for two at Talon winery
• Start the next day with two cups of coffee at The Tea Cup
"The cabin was very comfortable. Each evening when we got back from visiting attractions, we enjoyed a glass of wine in the hot tub on the deck and took in the beautiful lake view."-- TripAdvisor

The Top Ten Myths about HomosexualityBy Peter Sprigg Senior Fellow for Policy Studies
The homosexual activist movement is now over forty years old. Conservatives sometimes refer to the array of goals this movement has pursued--hate crime laws, employment "non-discrimination" laws, same-sex "marriage," etc.--as "the homosexual agenda."
Occasionally, we are mocked for the use of this term, as though we are suggesting that this movement represents some sinister and shadowy conspiracy. However, the term "agenda" is a perfectly neutral one. We in the pro-family movement certainly have our own "agenda." Its elements include: protecting the safety and dignity of human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death; encouraging the practice of sexuality only within the context of marriage between one man and one woman; and promoting the natural family, headed by a married, biological mother and father, as the ideal setting for raising children. We are proud of this "agenda," and will continue to vigorously pursue it.
By the same token, homosexual activists have a clear agenda as well. It is an agenda that demands the universal acceptance of homosexual acts and relationships--morally, socially, legally, religiously, politically and financially. Indeed, itcalls for not only acceptance, but affirmation and celebration of this behavior as normal, natural, and even as desirable for those who desire it. There is nothing shadowy or secretive about this agenda--in fact, it has become nearly impossible to avoid encountering it.

For the last 4 years my go to nail lacquers have been OPI's "You Don't Know Jacques!" or "Bubble Bath" (when I'm in the mood or a light color)... not anymore!
DEBORAH LIPPMANN's amazing grace is now my new favorite and I'm sure it will be for the next 4 + years! This is the perfect white (and nail color!) Love the quality. Love the color. Love love love it! If your not into white nails, I'd recommend trying any of Deborah Lippmann's many other colors, glitter polishes, as well as their amazing quick dry base and top coats!!
I adore Lippmann polishes - the pretty, stable bottles that don't tip, the elegant shape of the handle that fits so well in your hand, the perfect brush that's not too wide or thin and doesn't drag, and the lovely formulas that wear so well.
Amazing Grace is a sheer creme/jelly pure white. Not stark like witeout, or yellow. Just perfect, clean, and appropriate for even conservative offices. Like most sheer polishes, three coats is the magic number.
I was so excited to order Deborah Lippmann's 'Amazing Grace' - I've heard great things about the brand, and the color is just beautiful. Unfortunately, the quality isn't up to par... especially at such a high price point. After two coats of polish and 1 coat of my standard Sally Hansen top coat, the polish lasted all of 24 hours before it chipped. I touched up the one nail thinking I must have banged it, and on day 2 there were chips in almost all 10 nails. I have short nails and work an office job, so not exactly out there roughing up my hands on a regular basis.
In the future, I won't be dropping this much money on a polish again. Higher end drugstore brand polishes cost half as much and at least last 5-6 days before chipping.

Check out this summer's upcoming films!
Go Faster!
Turbo, in theaters July 17, tells of a snail who dreams of racing in the Indy 500. Actor MICHAEL PEÑA voices Tito, Turbo's friend and Number 1 fan. "Tito is full of ideas," Peña told TFK. "Like, 'How about we do karate and eat tacos?'"
He's Not Despicable
Despicable Me 2, in theaters July 3, finds former bad guy Gru joining the Anti-Villain League and raising his three daughters. "Margo, Edith, Agnes and Gru have become a family," MIRANDA COSGROVE, who is the voice of Margo, told TFK. "Gru tries to stop Margo from going out with a boy."
Smurf Return
Patrick Winslow, played by NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, and the Smurfs take on the City of Light in The Smurfs 2, opening July 31. "The clan heads to Paris hoping to save Smurfette and foil the now-famous Gargamel," Harris told TFK.
Scare School
Before Mike and Sulley were best buds in Monsters, Inc., they were college roommates—and rivals. On June 21, the wannabe scarers will get an education, in Disney/Pixar's prequel Monsters University. "There's a lot of humor," director DAN SCANLON told TFK. But the film's about "figuring out who you were meant to be and how you become it."

Phoenix Twin Kick is one of Ling Xiaoyu's moves from the Tekken. She simply kicks you at the head but then she pulls back her leg to kick you again which means she kicks you twice in one go. Pretty Cool eh! To do that move hit back and circle.
Note: After performing that move she'll go into Rain Dance. To put her in her normal stance hold back.

Just... wow!
What makes it different from ESB if I may ask? Since you label it as ROTJ.
Looks very nice none the less!
Funny you should ask Locitus...
I'll have my response up soon
Do you accept constructive criticism? Or better using PM?
Man.....just when I thought I was actually "done"..... Looks great
It's the stitching at the bottom what annoys me. What you see it some pics is not a stitching on the vest but the back and front covers joints, as you can see here, here and there:
MOM/Exhibition: Boba Fett Costume - The Dented Helmet Gallery
PP#2: Boba Fett Second Prototype Costume - The Dented Helmet Gallery
RotJ: Boba Fett Return of the Jedi Costume - The Dented Helmet Gallery
AoSW: Boba Fett Costume - The Dented Helmet Gallery
That's my opinion, I might be wrong. Everything else looks perfect to me.
I would have to agree an oversight on my part for sure!
I had a very challenging time with my HK fabricators to get the existing details in and under 8 months. Samples back and forth, cad's, hundreds of emails.
Next time for sure KaanE...Thanks man!
Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome, but I also know that when you put so much time and money on something you want perfect, it's annoying to have someone to tell you it's not perfectly perfect, but it's worth after all
This would be interesting? Christian

Man why do you do this? Now I have to build up a full display of all the Boba versions.
That looks great.
Are there plans for white boots, jumpsuit, etc?

Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka: I haven't been held like that since I was a baby.
Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka: I haven't been held like that since I was a baby.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. There was a ton of holding on both sides.
Just wondering what you guys thought of this comment.
The holding wasn't the issue for me since it was occurring equally on both sides and not being called equally on both sides, as mentioned already.
My issue was Victor Cruz being tackled 2 seconds before the ball arrived in the end zone and not being called. No clue how they missed that one.
Blather on Cowgirl nation....Romo doing well in the regular season is nothing new, it just makes Romo's eventual THUD that much sweeter when the games get to crunch time and he does that ONE thing to doom you guys, when the playoffs are in sight!
What Kiwi said isn't on the same level as the Packers and 9ers statements (which were ridiculed here), but it's in the same ballpark. Excuses are excuses.
They pushed the Cowboys back continually to the point of a 1st and 30 (and almost out of FG range), but they came right back and scored a TD.
And then took away a 'would be game icing' Murray 3rd down conversion by calling a hold on Witten. But the Cowboys still converted on 3rd and 11.


text: We have an Artic blast coming through today and tomorrow....where normally our temps are in the 50's, they are in the 20's, with the low tonight being at 8F. Hopefully this won't be long term enough to hurt my bees. Two of my hives are strong, and have a goodly amount of honey, one hive is small. I have been feeding some, and in fact poured a little honey on the "front porch" of the small hive Sunday and watched them chow down, also had a boardman feeder with 2:1 syrup with about 1/8 cup of honey in it, for them.... I opened the hive Saturday and put a bucket feeder of syrup in, they looked good. Reckon they got a chance against 8F, and mid 20's tomorrow?

Speculating on celebrity baby "bumps" is Hollywood blood sport. Ashlee, Nicole, the much-maligned Jamie Lynn Spears — all were outed by the press before they could even register for Diaper Genies. (A moment of silence for Lisa Marie Presley, who appeared on the cover of a tabloid looking like Wilfred Brimley in a muumuu and subsequently admitted to carrying twins.) Now, thanks to Sarah Palin's impregnated teenage daughter, Bristol, trashy baby fever has come to the nation's capital — a place where, until recently, sex had its proper place: under Oval Office desks and in airport-bathroom stalls. But suddenly, babies have become a campaign-trail tool, like George W. Bush's cowboy act or Bill Clinton's saxophone. Will it work?
I hope not — it's a pretty thin MO for someone with as much diplomatic experience as, I don't know, me. In searching for a vice-president, John McCain sought someone with no knowledge of Iraq, social views befitting a Victorian mixer, and a vagina. I can just picture the crusty Arizona senator sending his minions scampering to find a nice lady politician, someone those pesky women voters could get enthusiastic about after all that Hillary Clinton hullabaloo. If this election is going to be about change, the blustering ex-POW can play with the best of them. "Hey, Obama, you might be black — but I've got a girl on my team! And from Alaska, too!" Who cares if she's a lightweight with as much foreign-policy expertise as Tom Arnold? McCain needed a strident hockey mom as the antidote to Hillary Clinton's power pantsuits and Obama's rousing rhetoric. Can you really blame the old geezer?
Too bad Bristol's fickle fallopian tubes are likely to be her mother's undoing. You don't get to campaign as a family-values, pro-woman candidate who also opposes abortion and sex education — because those stances do more for unplanned pregnancy than cheap wine and Barry White. And you can't exactly sing the praises of abstinence education when your own 17-year-old daughter is a waddling testament to its impotence.
Palin's handlers would have you believe that she's just itching to become a grandma. Her office released this statement, which would throw a diabetic into convulsions: "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby, and even prouder to become grandparents."
Now those wily Republicans are trying to spin the pregnancy as a boon to the campaign. South Carolina governor Mark Sanford insists that "people are looking for real," as reported in the New York Times. "Real means blemishes, real means warts, real means real. These family imperfections make people say, 'That family isn't so different from my family.' " Warts? Blemishes? We're talking about a 17-year-old pregnant girl here, not McCain's most recent skin-cancer scare. The GOP spin is transparent: if you criticize Palin and her brood, you must be the one who isn't progressive. (Not original, either. Remember how, if you criticized George W. Bush, you were also a budding member of Al Qaeda and burned flags in your spare time?)

Emily man arrested for burglaries, thefts
An Emily man, Charles Weber, 33, was arrested in connection with several area burglaries and thefts, Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl reported.
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office received a report of a burglary to a business on Sawmill Road, Emily. While investigating this burglary, the responding deputy located another burglary on this road. Information was obtained about a possible suspect, Weber.
While following up on these leads, Weber was located on a stolen snowmobile and fled from law enforcement. Numerous law enforcement agencies conducted an intense search using snowmobiles to track Weber.
After several hours of searching and tracking the suspect through knee-deep snow, officers were able to locate and arrest Weber just north of Emily.
As a result of this investigation, it was discovered that Weber had burglarized two businesses and one garage along with stealing a snowmobile from a business in Outing. Investigating officers recovered property from these burglaries.
Weber was charged in October 2013 in Crow Wing County with numerous burglaries and thefts in the Emily area and was released on conditions. At the time of his arrest, he told investigators that he had court Wednesday, Feb. 12, for these previous charges.
Investigators assured Weber that he would make his court date.
Assisting in this investigation were the DNR and the Cass County Sheriff's Office.

The Good: Vast amounts of space; improved fit and finish; plenty of power; acceptable gas mileageThe Bad: Still a gas hog; its size makes it intimidating for some people to drive—and parkThe Bottom Line: Possibly the best large SUV on the marketWell, gas prices have hurt sales, mostly to people who didn't really need these things. But if you need a ginormous SUV, this is the best.Suburban
I'd still take the Expedition EL, which has beaten the Suburban in comparos elsewhere.
__________________________________________________________________Any US President that seeks to disarm the citizens works toward their enslavement.
Calling something the "best large SUV" is like saying which dentist does the best root canals. It's nice to know if you really, really need one, but not something I want to think about.
-------------------------------------------Bad decisions make good stories.
Against the GMT930 (07) or the GMT830 (06)?
Seems like a reasonable conclusion to me. GM makes good trucks. I have no need for one as I do not have a big family or any major haulage need, so I keep a midsize SUV that does the job adequately..

Firstly, this is "Business Week" not "Automobile Magazine"??????Secondly, he did not say the Suburban is THE BEST!!!!!! He said ""possibly""????
The Suburban really only has one competitor, and that's the Expedition. I drove an Expedition across the country two years ago. Wonderful vehicle for a 3000 mile trip. Extremely comfortable, quiet, stretch-out room, and a command position from which to see the USA. But in my opinion, the only vehicle that would have been better was the Suburban. As nice as the Ford is, I've driven many Suburbans (and sold them for a year when I was with GMC), and my business partner owns one. Along with an F150. So I've had many occasions to do back-to-back comparisons.The only Japanese vehicle that I've actually driven which could compare is my sister's Infiniti QX56. It isn't even a contest. The Suburban kills it.I've never driven a Mercedes GL and I suppose it is a nice experience, but I wouldn't want to haul our huge, fully enclosed motocross racing team trailer around with it. Again, advantage to the Suburban.As has been pointed out, if you actually need one of these vehicles for all of its capabilities, the Suburban - and to a lesser extent, the Expedition - cannot be beat.

I saw a funny Expedition XL commercial that pokes fun at the Suburban. A soccer mom was trying to remove/install the seats in the Suburban.
I haven't been in a Suburban in......Decades. Last tahoe vs Last expidition was a wash for me though. Tahoe must have been good because I usually prefer the Fords. I'm with RMcG. Don't think I'll ever need one, Midsize SUV does the job for me.
.MURK.:I saw a funny Expedition XL commercial that pokes fun at the Suburban. A soccer mom was trying to remove/install the seats in the Suburban. Removing the seats in the Suburban is a pain in the a$$. Always has been. When Ford put the hide-away third seat in the Expedition, they scored major points. But - the flip side is, the third row in a Suburban is a real seat and not a penalty box. My business partner has 4 kids, and when he and the wife take them motocrossing, they have plenty of room for all the passengers and cargo, along with towing that big-a$$ trailer we have. And nobody - not even adults - complains that the third-row seat is uncomfortable.The Expedition EL is probably even better than the Sub in this respect, but the Chevy totally outpowers it. The GM powertrain is so superior to the Ford when it comes to off-the-line torque and midrange passing ability (and remember, we get to make this comparison on a daily basis).And (just my opinion) the Expedition EL is ugly - or at least "ungainly".

BTW... Since U (Mrc) find something wrong with Business Week giving it's opinion.. I decided to post this review of the similar Denali XL by our old Home...Autoweek: ==============================================================================================================================================2007 GMC YUKON XL DENALIDate in fleet: March 7-14Base price: $51,085As tested: $58,020Drivetrain: 6.2-liter V8; awd, six-speed automaticOutput: 380 hp @ 5500 rpm, 417 lb-ft @ 4400 rpmCurb weight: 6038 lbs. Fuel economy (observed): 16.55 mpgOptions: Navigation, AM/FM stereo, MP3 compatible CD/DVD player ($2,250); 20-inch chrome aluminum wheels ($1,995); rear-seat entertainment system ($1,295); sunroof ($995); rearview camera system ($250); heated steering wheel ($150) What an enormous vehicle. I say this not based on the curb weight or exterior dimensions, but because I managed to put a set of four 35-inch tires in the back and all I had to do was fold the third row of seats up. There was no special way to pack the tires in to make them fit. I simply picked up each tire and set it inside the SUV. The kicker is I still had room for more cargo. Not another tire, but there was plenty of extra room back there.The only thing that impresses me more than the acres of cargo room is the range of the fuel tank. I managed to clock 436.8 miles on a tank of fuel. That included some city driving as well as a steady 78 mph over about 400 miles of highway driving. The resulting fuel economy was an impressive 16.55 mpg. It's not B-Segment economy, but tell me how I can cram a set of 35-inch tires in a Honda Fit and I'll gladly trade keys. No, cutting off the roof isn't an option.Penny pinchers will be quick to point out that our long-term Chevrolet Suburban would have done the same task for several thousand less. This is true, but our Suburban lacks the superb 6.2-liter V8 found in the GMC. Maybe the extra 40 hp and 77 ft-lb weren't required for a few hundred pounds of cargo, but the great throttle response and distinctive exhaust tone were appreciated. It takes a lot longer to get up to speed in the Suburban, and highway passing isn't as strong with its 5.3-liter.I prefer the 'Burban's part-time 4wd to the Denali's awd system, but that boils down to personal preference. Unless you're going to spend all of your time running down muddy two-tracks or skating along icy roads, there isn't a reason to have full-time awd in a ute like this. The Suburban rarely wants for traction in 2wd, and it puts less stress (read: requires less maintenance) on components.I prefer the looks of this Denali to the more pedestrian Suburban. GM did a good job of visually differentiating the Denali from the Suburban and Cadillac Escalade. Plus, this thing still turns heads and generates comments more than a year after it was introduced. The Denali slots in right where it should, more handsome than Suburban but not as flashy as the 'Sclade. Sort of a Goldilocks situation.One day these huge utes will probably face the same fate as the dinosaurs, but while they last, the luxury, utility and capacity can't be topped.

The closest many of us get to a farm is walking down the dairy aisle. If you've been longing to take the nearest country road out of town, hitch a ride with this week's Escape to The Inn at the Round Barn Farm in scenic Waitsfield, Vermont.
Less than an hour outside Burlington, the converted 19th-century farm house and its round barn are set on 245 acres of mountains, meadows, and ponds in the Mad River Valley, recognized as a Historic District by the National Register of Historic Places. This sophisticated B&B is a relaxing retreat in pastoral paradise.
May 1 to June 21, you can plant the seeds of romance with a three-night stay for two in an individually decorated guest room ($392). You'll get cozy in a plush bed topped with a down comforter while enjoying your "Laughter Is the Best Medicine" welcome gift. Cultivate inner calm with an included hour-long yoga session and local handmade herbal teas from Vermont Liberty Tea Company.
You'll be spoiled with an apple a day, fresh-baked cookies, and afternoon hors d'œuvres, not to mention daily farm-to-fork breakfasts. As a founding member of the Vermont Fresh Network, The Inn at the Round Barn Farm serves seasonal fare from local organic growers. Graze on sweet fruit, creative entrees, rich Vermont-roasted coffee, and fresh-squeezed juice as you admire the incredible view of the hills through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Adventurous types can have bales of fun on a trek along Long Trail, named one of the "Best Hikes Ever" by Backpacker magazine. For an outstanding equestrian experience, take the reins on a guided tour of the countryside with the Vermont Icelandic Horse Farm, one of USA Today's "10 Great Places to Go Horseback Riding." These small yet sturdy horses will carry you through the valley's sunny meadows and wild thickets.
Getaways this good don't crop up very often, so harvest this week's Escape while it's still in season.
"You pass through a covered bridge just off Route 100 to arrive at one of the most romantic B&Bs in northern New England, a regal barn and farmhouse on 245 sloping acres with views of fields all around."-- Frommer's

|Kitchen Aid built in oven blowing thermal fuse

We have a Kitchen Aid Superba built in electric oven Model # KEBS147dwh7. I bought this oven new in 1999. The problem is that when we use the self clean the Thermal Fuse blows. Here is what happens it works fine while it is cleaning once the cleaning is done and we go to use it no heat. This problem does not happen all the time I would say since we had it we have used the self clean 7 times and I have had to change the fuse 3 times. I checked the Temp. probe and the ohms reading was 1098 at room temp. Then I set-ted the oven at 200deg. and took a reading it was 1398. The only other part I have changed is the cooling fan on top. But this problem started before that went and it's done it since. Is there anyone who has had this problem and could help me? or does anyone know of something I should check? I emailed Kitchen Aid to see if there was an upgrade to this part they said no. Anyway any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

|About the only thing I could suggest is to not use the self clean cycle or keep a pile of these fuses on hand......they do suggest to not set the clean for more than two hours, how long do you set it for???? Bad design on these ovens......assuming you have pleaty of air circulation around the unit...

|Hi Pegi,
This past Saturday was the last time we used it. I just asked my mother how long it was on for & she said two and a half hours. I guess she said that this is what it is set for. She just presses the self clean and lets it do its thing which is two and a half hours. Yes there is good air circulation around the unit. Well then I guess this is why Kitchen Aid sent the email they did!. You would think they would come out with a better system. Well then I'm going to take your advice and keep one on hand as it always happens on the weekend plus no one around here has them in stock. I'm also going to look into the owners manual and see how you can set it for less time. If I'm reading your reply right there must be a way to do this. I bought this oven for her for Christmas in 1999 as she is handicapped and loves to cook & bake. It's to bad that you pay so much for this stuff and it's junk the one it replaced was the original to the house 1958 GE and that never gave her trouble. Well Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.

|70Chevy, There was a service flash out on this model that pertained to blowing the thermal fuse. Flash 22-702, had a kit that included door gasket, glass, blower assy. and thermo-disk with all the necessary brackets and instructions. The serial number on the units affected were xjo1 through xj48. Don't know if your oven falls into this catagory or not. The condition was different than what you are experiencing. The therm fuse would blow because heat was escaping from the top of the door and pulled into the blower fan across the therm fuse. It almost sounds like your oven could of used this kit. If the serial numbers match, I would call them again and inquire about it. Last part number I had for that kit was 814531...Ron

|Good morning,
Yes thank you Ron and Samurai repair man!. I checked out that link and emailed them the question to see if this would solve the problem. I can see how the heat from the door could be sucked back in to the blower as it runs in reverse to pull the air down the back & out the bottom except for that pipe that leads out the front and picks up air through an elbow from the back of the fan. Now I have to ask a question it may sound stupid but that's how I learn! What if I were to block those holes on top of the door and let the air escape through the bottom hole of the door? Could this work or would it cause damage? But if I get a response from repair clinic and they say this will fix it I'll get that. I just don't see how those parts are going to help!. Forget about KitchenAid they won't give me any answers they just keep saying thank you for writing to us.

|firts off,DO NOT plug any air holes in the grille of the unit as this will make your problems worse,secondly, i believe the service bulletin that ron has eluded to is a differnt problem all together. when your unit fails,can you still program the oven to bake,but the elements just don't come on? when you repair it are you changing a thermo disc at the rear of the oven? the bulletin was to adress the thermal fuse(not the disc) and when this occurs,the entire oven goes down,display and all- and the component which opens is located in the front behind the control panel- there have been many of the disc failures occur- i usually install part #4452223 which is a 130 degree celcius stat and relocate it to the left of the convection fan shaft so the heat escaping around the shaft does not directly affect it,while unit is out-ensure that the very bottom metal panel is not bent upward as this space between the oven bottom and the panel is a sort of duct in which air is drawn from and expelled through the holes in the grill that you plan to block-this air flow is crucial. also ensure that the space under the oven bottom is open to the finish piece,and if necessary provide a source for air inside the cabinets. if you reduce your cleaning time below 2 1/2 hrs,it will be ineffective, this is the MINIMUM clean time-if anything you should increase it as you will allow a more complete clean cycle,that includes a cool down period, this is preprogrammed into controller.

Yes your right when the unit fails you can still set it but it just stays on low with no heat in the oven. Also that is the part number I replaced this is the 4th one. You call it a disc?. I just put the new one in yesterday and it's working fine again. The bottom of the oven is not bent and we get good heat through the bottom and top vent. You say you put your to the left of the convection fan shaft when you say this I assume your looking at the back because ours is to the left of the shaft!. So then I take it this is just a design flaw nothing can be done about?

|the problem you are experiencing is related to air flow around the unit,some other components on the oven you can check are your door hinges-door should not open beyond 90 degrees,and general condition of your door gasket. since every installation is unique,you may have to make some modifications to your cabinetry . i serviced one of these a couple of months back at my service mgr's request as we have now replaced 5 of these,and like you,the guy thought there was some sort of design flaw- nevertheless,i was to go see what i could find. what i discovered was he had an older home that he had done many renovations to and had chosen a nice spot near a corner and patio door to install this oven(double k/a wall oven). adjacent to the oven was another nook where he installed his fridge,and above,a b/i microwave,being an older home,there was no room behind these units and installation was extremely tight to say the least. i proceeded to replace yet another thermo-disc,checked everything over and verified that all was functioning well and went over the installation with the owner. after much explaination,we theorized that the unit obviously didn't have enough air flow around it to dissipate the heat generated during clean. he was willing to try to improve that and we devised a plan where he would cut a square hole in the cabinet between his oven and fridge and install a return air grille into this hole- above the oven in the space between oven/microwave there was a space of approx 6 inces- another hole was cut in the top of the cabinet,and the front of the space between-he then installed a small blower motor which exhausted air outward through the front of cabinet and a grille installed over this hole as well. now when he sets his unit onto clean,he turns on this fav which draws air from the adjacent space where the fridge is across the oven and out the top of the cabinet- i have called him several times since and he has asked me to stop calling him to check on unit as this has clearly solved the problem of the failing disc. i guess it boils down to what you consider the worst of the 2 evils- pull oven out and change a disc every so often,or make changes to your kitchen cabinetry to improve air flow- to him this was worth it-to me, i have no problem changing a disc. the point here is that although it is adverised these units require no clearance,in reality,they do require some sort of air flow.

The door gasket is as hard as a rock on the bottom and about 1/4 of an inch up the sides?. About the space the house was built with a built in oven. I took the measurement's they are as follows. If your looking at the front of the oven I have 24inches on the left side 3inches on the right side and 4inches in the rear and 5inches on top. I don't know if this is enough but I would think it would be?. As far as putting in some kind of vent I'd rather just change the disk as Ive been looking at the price of the exhaust motor and piping then the door to the outside and it would be more than just to change the disc. I have a stupid question but what else is new! Why couldn't I just by another exhaust fan an original one like the one on top and put it down below to help circulate more air through the oven wire it to the top one so they both come on? Or I'll just have to order a few of them disc to keep on hand.

bigger hammer
|ive done a few of the kits ron is talking about
you have to be REALLY careful with the serial number cause you may buy parts you dont have to. the full kit like Ron said is a new thermal fuse, piece of glass for the oven door, door gasket, door hinges, a new cavity fan (i think it may be higher rpm), and new brackets to mount the fan. the brackets' purpose is to move the fan back about an inch which will blow more air on the rear of the wall oven and keep higher airflow through the whole cabinet.
youre gonna have to talk to your parts guy real nice and get him to do some digging for you to see what "revision" your wall oven is by looking up model/serial numbers and required kit.
Before you start.....how much is it going to cost and how long is it going to take?

|Yes I sent an email to repair clinic.com to ask them about this kit. They said it was for that problem but for me to email Whirlpool which I guess owns KithenAid to find out if this kit would be for my oven. So I think I'm going to do that and see. As I already emailed KitchenAid and they didn't want to know nothing! Thank's for the reply!

|i have installed many of these "blower kits" over the last 6 years and the kits consist of inner door glasses and brackets that angle the middle glass panel outward,door hinge stiffeners,new door gasket,new blower,and a 130 degree thermo-disc.the kit is really not that expensive when you compare it to all the individual parts. when you install this kit,some of the units do not require the glass in the door changed as the factory did a running production change- same-o for the blower,the serial ranges are explained in the kits documents.the idea is to reduce the amount of heat that can escape from the top oven door area,which can then be drawn into the air flow,and if stagnated at all,cause opening of the fuse,however,it has been my experience that when this effect is present,it will cause the inline fuse to the control to open,thereby disabling the units control board/display etc.- but when the disc on the back opens- unit still accepts all command functions but fails to heat.

|Well the inner glass on this oven already angles outward. I changed the blower about a month ago. So the only thing I think I should do is order a new gasket for the door. I just can't believe that there is not enough air flow around this oven. I only wish KitchenAid would admit to a problem with this oven!. I'll just replace the door gasket (Special order) and stock up on some discs.

Thank you for that my oven falls under that. The inner glass is already angled. There is a heat shield on top and I changed the blower a month ago. So now my question is on that bulletin it says hot air escaping from the top of the oven back into the oven if I'm reading it right. So could this mean replacing the door gasket? I really don't see anything in that kit that I did not replace except for the door gasket. Unless I'm missing something?

|also included in the kits are some l shaped spacers that mount on the face of the oven door flange under the area where the hinge receivers are mounted-this tightens the top of the oven door when in the closed position,also there are some rather thick metal pieces that you screw on to the outer wrapper of the oven at the bottom front sides to stiffen the entire side panel,some units already had these installed at the factory- there were several running changes on them,and it's very difficult to know for sure if your unit has them unless you can identify the parts.

Sorry for all these questions and Thank you to all. I don't know if this tells anything but I put a dollar bill between the door and the gasket and it slide out very easy both on top and sides. Does this tell anything? One other thing I was going to order new hinges a gasket & another one of them disk (Just in case) but the price is just a few dollars cheaper than that kit 81453. Would you suggest ordering the kit instead? as the only parts that I'm not getting in the kit are the hinges! thank's
