Hello my name is William, I am from Kennesaw Georgia and I am working/learning my way towards becoming a first time beekeeper. I have a farm in the mountains outside of Chattanooga with a good supply of apple orchards, clover, sourwood, sumac etc and can't wait to get started.
While I am here saying "Hello", I would also like to ask what race of bees are you keeping? I ask because I realize each of you have very distinct opinions on what is best but in reality choosing a race of bees is a complex issue. Some people love Italians, Carnies, Russians, VSH, Yugos, etc... but finding a local nuc other than hybrids, or mutts as some call them is not easy. I ask this because it would appear to me that unless you use a AI queen on pure stock (if that really exists), most of what you end up with are hybrids to some extent. So in essence would I not be better off with dealing with a reputable breeder that specializes in small cell producing, mite resistant bees that have proven themselves resilient in the area regardless of pedigree.
Thanks for the help. Also thanks to those that have informative websites, written books, and answer newbie questions in here for us to learn from.

A relatively small election is getting intense interest in Arizona. It's an election to recall State Sen. Russell Pearce, the architect of Arizona's strict immigration laws. As NPR's Ted Robbins reports, the recall election is splitting the community along religious as much as political lines.

I am truly grateful for your embarking on this project to translate the Fukanzazengi and very much look forward to your talks on it. While sitting with the zazen group at Shokoji in Hiroshima I frequently had the opportunity to experience the chanting of the Fukanzazengi ( in Japanese Of course) and had an english Soto-shu translation which essentially was my sole explanation of what (we) were doing every time we sat together. In essence, it was my introduction to Dogen; a relationship i expect will continue until and perhaps beyond, my time in this visible life.
once again, thank you _/_
btw, the kakijiku on the wall behind your left ear seems to me to be an awesome one brush stroke representation of Fuji-san; is it one of your talented attempts ??
Hi Shokai,
thank you for your kind words, Yes, Fukanzazengi is central to our practice.
The Fujusan? You are tooooooooooo kind...It is the very beautiful brushwork of one of the abbots of Sojiji, I have bought it two weeks ago in Kyoto.
Thanks Taigu for this exciting project.
Absolutely beautiful, worth every yen of investment.It is the very beautiful brushwork of one of the abbots of Sojiji, I have bought it two weeks ago in Kyoto.
Thank you Taigu for your continued commitment to my practice. Very much looking forward to this series of talks and the retreat.
PS - Published to podcast!
Freeing, not freezing. Great! No final, finished version. Fantastic! This is a great journey we are walking with you. Thank you!
PS: The Nishijima-Cross translation online:
I look forward to this chewing.
I am reading Realizing Genjokoan and the first three lines have really shown me a bit of this chewing and swimming in and around you mention.
I am grateful that you are able to share with us. Thank you.
Thank you for undertaking the teaching of Fukanzazengi. Gassho Shogen
Thank-you Teacher. I look forward to exploring the Fukanzazenji.
There are always pearls in your talks, maybe more than you realize.
I am silent on the board, but I am here. The work that you and Jundo do keeps me sitting.
Thank-you, and a deep bow. m
Thank you,
will walk through Fukan-Zazengi.
What a marvelous endeavor! Really looking forward to this series on Fukanzazengi. Thank you so much for taking it up _/_
Thank you for your words that do indeed include many pearls that have helped my practice over the years. And my graititude to you for taking up this work.
Looking forward to all the chewing that is going to be taking place. Many thanks
Thank you for sharing this work with us, Taigu Sensei.
I'll be looking forward for the videos.
I have a question. Will this version of Fukanzazengi be right for me to follow allong?
http://www.berkeleyzencenter.org/Texts/ ... engi.shtml
Hi Chocobuda,
yes, it is a very good translation.
I strongly recommand the work of my teacher, Mike Chodo Cross. Mike did the donkey work on the Nishijima translation of the shobogenzo and his knowledge and understanding of Dogen is beyond anything you can imagine. Here it is with Dogen kanji explained one at a time and a copy of the original:
I'll be sure to study this text. Thank you, Taigu-San.Originally Posted by Taigu

Timberwolves' Rubio cleared for contact practices
By Ben Golliver
The Timberwolves announced Wednesday that guard Ricky Rubio, who tore the ACL in his left knee back in March, has been cleared for full-contact practices. Rubio received his full medical clearance after meeting with Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo.
"Life is good," Rubio tweeted on Wednesday afternoon.
Rubio accompanied the Timberwolves on a recent road trip, going through a pre-game conditioning program and shooting regimen. The Star-Tribune reported Saturday that the Spanish point guard was "getting closer" to a return but that Timberwolves president David Kahn refused to provide a timetable.
"It's an uplifting thing for everybody—management and players and of course the fans," Kahn said on Wednesday, according to Timberwolves.com.
Rubio, 22, was the No. 5 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Known for his flashy play-making skills and teen prodigy background, Rubio chose to continue playing professionally in Spain until the 2011-12 season, when he arrived in the NBA as a serious Rookie of the Year candidate. He averaged 10.6 points, 8.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 34.2 minutes per game before suffering the knee injury during a Mar. 9 game against the Lakers at the Target Center.
Rubio was injured while attempting to defend Lakers guard Kobe Bryant on the perimeter. He underwent surgery on March 21 after the injury and sat out the remainder of the 2011-12 season. Minnesota was 21-20 with Rubio in the lineup last season and just 5-20 without him. He also missed the 2012 London Olympics, where he was expected to represent Spain. The Timberwolves have been struck by a rash of injuries this season. Guard Brandon Roy and forward Chase Budinger have also undergone knee surgeries and All-Star forward Kevin Love missed the first few weeks of the season after breaking bones in his hand, although he returned to the court on Nov. 21, much earlier than anticipated. J.J. Barea and Nikola Pekovic have also dealt with minor injuries.

didnt they draft locker in the first round last year? like in the middle of the 1st?? seems like an odd way to go unless they just want manning as the teacher lol

yea owner came out with some weird comments saying how bad he wants PEyton
Don't forget they have Hasselback too and gave him a real legit contract last year
And they got Britt's contract coming this year too, which probably wont be cheap.
that guy needs to stay healthy, and keep his nose clean....

i think they cut ties with Britt, especially because if they get peyton that means Reggie is coming to town

Hive beetle populations in 2001
Hive beetle populations reported since 2001
If you feel that you do not need to treat...that is your desicion. Our work was done for those that have lost their bees and thus the income that has supported their families for decades. I my self have given well over 300k worth of stock and countless amounts of funds and facilities to further this research in hopes of finding better solutions, whether they be chemical or non.
For those that simply do not care what happens in the south or any other region, you really should do your own research to try to get a better understanding of how our industry works and how vital our nations southern regions are to our industry.
Again, if you are against finding better solutions, thats your choice. But we will continue our research with or without your approval.
Those maps are amazing! You can perhaps understand the Dakotas or MN or WI with migratory beekeepers, but Maine etc??
I notice my county is not depicted on the map as having shb. Any way we can contribute to the data? I do have them, in everything, just not very much.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
Maybe it's been so warm here in MI, but! My neighbor has two hives that are nothing but but SHB factories, no brood etc. He said he was going to put the hives down two weeks ago.
Just did a full insp on a hive that I've been nursing along at my house, killed ten and they had larve laid on the landing board, that was just in ten days!
Called him and he had not put them down yet, when I told him what was happening he said he'd do it tomorrow, I dam sure hope he does, jeez what pests.
Each laying beetle can produce 2,000 eggs... You may want to go to your neighbor with some Guardstar (40% permethrin) or some Permethrin SFR (36.8% permethrin but much cheaper than Guardstar) and offer to help him shut down those beetle factories. Break down the hives and stand them up right (on ant mounds if they are available), then poor the permethrin mixture aound the area to prevent the larva from being able to reach adulthood.
Para-Moth has been shown to kill adult beetles, larva and even eggs, when used correctly. Stack the supers on a solid, flat surface and place some chrystals on news paper between each one, then tape off the seams with packing tape and top it with a good seal.
The supers will have to bee aired out before reuse, but after a few weeks, you can at least rest assured that they will not be harboring any beetles.
Good Luck!
Hey folks, been doing some playing w/ the cd cases/ bait.
Tried the equal parts boric acid/honey/crisco, zero beetles.
What I did last week was took a cd case apart, popped the center part out and put some combat paste (three or four z trails) on the top lid and put it back together w/o notching the slats in sides of the case. Put the case in so the slats and opening in the back of the case are down.
Just took the hive apart and had 10 beetles in the best condition there is, DEAD and some larvae (soonley dead too). That's in one week, I know that you southern guys will laugh but this yankee has only found a couple in the past and usually if that.
I'm thinking that the SHB get into the slats on the case and can't find the way back out so they lay the eggs in the case too.
Excuse my ignorance. What is " CRISCO" ? I Googled and it comes up with " Shortening"???
That is correct, Crisco is shortening. We can get it as shortening or as oil. The Shortening is what I am using. I set my traps 5 days ago will check them Tuesday.
max it is a trade name for a solid shortening that can be spread like butter. good luck rock.
Before we got plugged arteries w/ lard. Now we can use partially and fully hydrogenated plam and soybean oil and just get em partially plugged, anyway the SHB is supposed to love snacking on it.
" That is correct, Crisco is shortening. We can get it as shortening or as oil. The Shortening is what I am using. I set my traps 5 days ago will check them Tuesday.

Why haven't you heard of Linux.
Linux on the other hand is a totally different story. If you ask random people on the street about Linux they will say that they have never heard of the company or the project. Then, if you do explain something short about this great project then they ask how come Linux does not advertise. Linux is free for the most part and there is very little money to fund the development of GNU/Linux and its software. Majority of people who are working on open source software are volunteers or part time. However, some do get paid to work on GNU/Linux and its software full time but there are very few of them. The sad truth is that because GNU/Linux does not have a lot of money to advertise to the masses most people have never heard of it. It is not a brand like Apple or Windows. Nevertheless, even though GNU/Linux does not have as much advertising as other projects, it is still a great operating system for servers, desktops, laptops and other gadgets. The marketing and promotion of GNU/Linux works a little differently than the other corporate brands. GNU/Linux has enthusiastic people who promote it through word of mouth, events, videos, Blogs, stickers, graffiti and many other low budget but creative ways. Slowly but surely, even GNU/Linux is being recognized by some. Nothing easy is done over night but will come in incremental steps. The more people talk and debate about GNU/Linux, the more it is embeded in peoples minds, and it is more likely that they will try it out. Many individuals that do try out GNU/Linux are impressed by its ease of use, functionality, free software, great eyecandy and customization.

Just some of my thoughts about marketing.ReplyDelete
Marketing is not about why you should buy my PRODUCT. It's about why you should buy MY product.
In other words, I am establishing a relationship with you, the buyer. I have to get you to buy me, and to do that, I have to convince you to trust me.
Take Apple as a case study. What are people really buying? The iPod? iMac? iWhatever?
No it's not iPod or the iMac or iWhatever. People buy Apple. They don't buy Apple products.
Apple is the 'me'. When people buy an iPod, you may also overhear them say, "Gee I like Apple. I think they're neat." or something like that. People equate Apple with the products Apple sells. If they've bought an iPod, chances are good they already have a Mac.
So what's the 'me' in OSS?
There is a problem, I see. OSS / FOSS / GNU/Linux is faceless. How do you convince someone to buy something when you are faceless. Apple has a face - the Apple logo. GNU/Linux has a mascot. How do you turn that mascot into a personality that represents the 'me'? How do you capitalize on it?
It's the same with job interviews. If you got the job and you were number one on your employer's list, you most likely sold yourself to the interviewer or panel, not so much your skills.
I know of someone who was really f*&@ed up technically, but was really good at selling himself. He landed himself a $100K a year job, but to keep that job he had to work his butt off. I don't know if he still works at the same place.
And that's the other edge of the sword. Once you've sold yourself someone, you have to keep the steam going, to keep the trust, or you will lose it.
Apple has achieved spectacular results, and they don't pay people to publicly sing out "I love you, Apple", like Small Flaccid does. Apple doesn't need to. Because they maintain the quality and experience of their products.
So what's the 'me' in OSS? I think that is the crux of marketing OSS, and that may be a vast problem in pinning down.
I believe rather firmly that this is the number one reason why even large projects like OLPC are cut off at the pass. OLPC in particular was a brilliant idea, but countries backed out of the deals because they weren't familiar enough with the functioning of the system itself; politicians have no idea what GNU/Linux or Open Source is/are. It's really quite unfortunate. I really think that there's a lot that can be done to improve on it. We all know that monetization is a challenge for Open Source coding. But a lack of money-producing product doesn't stop organizations like AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps. People are willing and able to volunteer their time, as is amply evidenced by the already-vast library of Free-as-in-freedom code out there now. I eagerly await the day when enough people know about it and can contribute just a little bit of their time - a little bit of a million people's time - to make the rapidly-growing digital world a safer, better, freer place. [/rant]ReplyDelete
While Microsoft owns much of the blame, I daresay that GNU/Linux zealotry can negate much of the goodwill from the community. See http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/65877.html?wlc=1246679309, a story about a young woman in Wisconsin who had to drop out of an online college because her laptop was running Ubuntu. She did get a few messages offering help, and eventually I think even her ISP (Verizon?) offered to stick with her until she could get on the Internet. However, Linux fanboyz pilloried her, and even harassed her on her Facebook (?) page. Way to go, boyz, you could'a helped a newbie get started with Ubuntu, but instead you turned her off. Like, who would want to be in the same community as those jerks? Fortunately, she had enough help from the *true* GNU/Linux users, and she's gotten her Ubuntu working with her ISP and if I'm not mistaken with the online college as well. Not thanks to the zealots.ReplyDelete
Point is, *all* GNU/Linux users are in marketing, and we do that by being helpful to those who need help getting started. Yeah, even those who should RTFM.
I think you underestimate the fame of Linux. Don't know about the street, but at the uni most people have had at least some contact with Linux - due to the fact the programming class used Debian exclusively.ReplyDelete
Though in many cases, Linux is portrayed - even by the popular culture - as an OS for "hackers"; and if you ask people, most answers will likely be, "Linux? I heard it's a horror to set up." The problem is, most people don't realise nowadays you can simply stick a CD into your machine and it will install just as easily as (or easier than) Windows, or even run without any installation at all - and with a graphical distro such as Debian or Ubuntu, you'll get a system that is ready to use practically right away; they don't know that on Linux you can also have Firefox, Chromium, Thunderbird, GIMP, MPlayer, OpenOffice, as well as many other great and easy to use apps - all you need is a quick Google search.
In fact, I think another turn-off might be the ridiculous amount of googling required; for non-power users such as myself, most of the time things will work without problems - but in the few cases where they won't and if you aren't a forum creature, Google is your only hope.
I google stuff mostly for fun - to check if something is possible, and to find interesting programs - but I remember three cases where googling was absolutely neccessary, and a lot of it; those being the setup of printer, setup of tablet, and installation of SCIM+Anthy... reading through dozens of user-submitted, fragmented and frequently inconsistent tutorials is not for everyone.
Fortunately, the amount of IRL handbooks on Linux is increasing, and while they are still a little pricey - and no book can be expected to cover all of the problems into which one might run - I think this might be the right direction to take, as well as further introduction of Linux to schools and institutions... it's crisis after all, and the government is supposed to save up cash. ;)

David Wilson - Starting RB, 1,000 yard rusher.. Borderline Pro-Bowler
Ruben Randle - Honestly, this kid might be the number one target for Eli and soon. His game is smooth like Reggie Wayne or Andre Johnson.
Jayron Hosley - IMO, he will be solid. Not a piece that will remain with the team for an extended period of time. I say he gives us above average play at his position, but due to Salary, Prince and future CB's he will go elsewhere after his contract is up.
Adrien Robinson - if he is willing to learn, then he could be a Shiancoe/Kellen Winslow type player.. Without the headaches. If he isn't willing/able, gone. Toss up!
Brandon Mosley - really like this kids play and I think he will be a Giant for a longtime.
Matt McCants - ehhh. I love his upside and freakishly long frame. My gut tells me that he is going to be a Guy Whimper player, but with a shorter tenure.
Markus Kuhn - no real guess on him. He will be on the roster for two season, IMO.
Any other thoughts?

I had a guy at a farm market drop a glass jar on the way back to the car. He came back and told me what happened sounding like he expected me to replace his accident. Even though I didn't have to, I went ahead and gave him a new jar; that seemed like the good customer service thing to do. It's not about producing widgets, it's about customer service. Just give 'em the pickle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISJ1V8vBiiI
I do know that the one time I dropped a case of wine (walking out the store with it), the retailer insisted on replacing it. I tried to pay and they would not take the money. The closest of their outlets to our new location is now several hours by car. I assure you if we are ever in the area where they have a shop we stop. For a case of cheap wine they won a costumer for life.

With all the discussion about Sasha's return and which two US ladies will be in Vancouver I was wondering about the US Men. Yes, it is still too early - but assuming the guys are basically healthy which three do you think will be chosen for Vancouver? Will it be the top three finishers at Nationals? Will a strong GP season help a veteran like Jeremy or Johnny if they finish 4th at Nationals?
USA may not have the next OGM winner - but it is a fairly deep team this year with a strong chance to make it onto the Olympic podium.
It is safe enough to predict Evan, Jeremy and Johnny. But what about some of the others? Is Mroz for real? Did his progress have anything to do with Jeremy switching coaches? And what about Rippon? Is he ready to challenge for a spot on Team USA?
My feeling is that Evan will be on the team. And either Jeremy or Johnny but maybe not both of them. I see a strong possibilty for the third skater to be one of the younger ones - maybe Mroz, Rippon or another young skater.

Despite daily cleaning, kitchen needs deep spring cleaning
The kitchen.
It's a place where we spend a lot of time preparing food, eating and just sitting around and chatting.
Even though the kitchen is a room that is usually cleaned daily, it is one of the most important areas of the house to give a thorough spring cleaning, especially those hidden areas like the top of the refrigerator and the inside of cupboards.
Before the weather warms up and tempts you to start tackling outdoor projects, now's the time to dive in and get rid of that built-up grease and grime.
Area cleaning experts suggest that before you really dive into the heavy duty cleaning to eliminate clutter. Put away items such as cookbooks and piles of mail, and remove any items that don't belong in the kitchen.
Sara Hanson, owner of Optimum Cleaning, which serves the entire lakes area, said spring is a good time to clean out those junk drawers.
"People collect a lot of fancy gadgets and they never get used," said Hanson.
She said to have two cardboard boxes, one for stuff you can donate and another for items that are broken and should just be thrown away.
Hanson said spring is also a good time to rearrange your kitchen to make it more efficient. Pots and pans should be placed near the stove. Items that are used often should be placed within arms' reach while items not used very often can be placed on top shelves.
Hanson said spring is also a good time to dump out the ice maker and change any drinking filters that may be in the refrigerator. It is important to clean the top of the refrigerator and the refrigerator coils. She said these small tasks will help to extend the life of your appliance.
Another important task is to clean the inside of the refrigerator and throw out any expired or unknown foods. If possible, move the refrigerator out and clean behind it.
After cleaning out the fridge, spend some time going through your pantry and tossing out any old spices. Although spices don't go bad, they do lose strength. If spices are stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, whole spices can keep up to four years, ground spices three to four years and leafy herbs one to three years.
Whole peppercorns, nutmeg or cinnamon sticks can hold their flavor for up to five years. Recipe mixes are good for up to two years and marinades and sauces keep 12 to 24 months.
Bette Wolf, who writes a blog called Spring Cleaning 365, reminds people to clean under the stove. It's also important to clean the stove fan and change any filters that it may have. She said you'll be surprised at the dirt, dust and just plain gunk that accumulates under the stove and in the filter.
Because the kitchen gets a lot of use and because it has small and large appliances, it can be a very time-consuming task to thoroughly clean the kitchen. And, realistically, a lot of spring cleaning kitchen tasks most likely don't get done every year.
But there are a couple of important tasks that should not be overlooked.
One, take the time to check the batteries in your smoke detector.
Two, make sure you know where your fire extinguisher is, and if you don't have one, buy one and learn how to use it.
The following are 12 basic steps for "Spring Cleaning in the Kitchen." They might not all apply to your kitchen, and you might not get them all done, but the list is a good checklist for most of us to go by.
Step one: Dust and wipe down walls.
Spend extra time cleaning grease, grime and spilled food from walls. Also check corners for cobwebs and dust trim.
Step two: Dust and clean any items hanging on walls and sitting on top of cabinets.
This is a good time to re-evaluate and see if you really need all of that "junk" that you've accumulated over the years.
Step three: Dust and clean light fixtures.
Step four: Clean windows and any window treatments, such as blinds or curtains.
Vacuum and clean the windowsills. If it's nice enough outside take time to clean the outside of windows.
Step five: Clean the inside of cabinets and drawers.
If you have time it's a good idea to remove everything from inside the cabinets, wipe down the shelves and reorganize items. Remember to toss out or donate any items you don't use.
Also, wipe down exteriors of containers, such as honey jars, that tend to get dirty and sticky. If you have food items that are still good, but you don't think you'll eat, set those aside and take them to a local food shelf.
Step six: Clean appliances.
Because of the number of appliances in the kitchen and because they are often ignored, this step can take quite some time. You may want to break it down into a couple of days or recruit family members to help.
Start by working on the oven. If you don't have a self-cleaning oven, spray oven cleaner and let it work while you clean other appliances. If using a commercial oven cleaner, open windows as the smell can be pretty strong.
Clean the refrigerator. Start by throwing out any expired or unknown food. Remove the rest of the food and put on a counter or table. Remove the shelves and drawers. Wash them down, being careful with glass shelves.
A good non-toxic cleaning solution for refrigerators is 1/2 cup baking soda to a gallon of water. Use this to wipe down the entire interior of the refrigerator and freezer. Make sure the refrigerator is wiped dry before putting the shelves and food back in.
Clean the microwave. Use a damp rag and wipe out any lose crumbs from interior. Next, fill a microwave-safe bowl with 4-5 tablespoons baking soda or one-half cup lemon juice and fill the remainder of the bowl with water. Heat on high for two to three minutes. When time is up, let it sit for five minutes, then carefully remove cup or bowl and wipe down interior with a damp cloth.
If there are still stains, pour a little vinegar on a damp rag and scrub the interior.
Also remember to clean the glass turntable. Leave the door open to air out the microwave for a few minutes. Clean the exterior and door with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Wipe control panels with a barely damp (not wet) cloth. If you get moisture behind the panel it could ruin the oven.
Dishwasher. The easiest way to clean the dishwasher is by running vinegar through it. Begin by starting the empty dishwasher on a regular cycle; do not use any dishwasher detergent.
Let the cycle run for a couple of minutes, until the bottom of the dishwasher has begun filling with water (just open the door carefully and take a peek), then add 2 to 3 cups of white vinegar to the water, close the door and let the dishwasher complete the full cycle. Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth and wipe down any gaskets where "gunk" may have accumulated.
Go back to the oven/stove and wipe down and clean out the oven according to the directions on the oven cleaner. Remove knobs, burners, burner covers and spill catchers off of the stove and wipe off food spills and splatters.
For a glass cooktop, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean the top.
Step seven: Wipe down and clean small appliances, remembering to unplug the appliances first.
Toaster/toaster oven: Clean out crumbs and wipe down the interior and exterior. Be sure to remove racks; wash them in warm, soapy water.
Coffee maker: Pour equal parts white vinegar and water into the tank, and run the machine. Empty out carafe and run two or three cycles with fresh water before brewing coffee. Wash carafe and any other removable parts in hot, soapy water and wipe down exterior of machine.
For any hard water build up on outside of machine, use a cloth soaked in vinegar to removed the hard water crust.
Step eight: Clean the sinks.
Fill your sink with hot, soapy water and pour in 1 cup bleach. Let stand for about an hour, then empty. If there are still stains, scrub using a paste made from water and baking soda. (Pour baking soda into a cup and add water until it forms a paste.) Rinse well.
Step nine: Clean countertops.
Use your favorite cleaner or prepare a mild solution by mixing together dish soap and water. A good natural disinfectant is 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide mixed with one cup of water.
Step 10: Clean garbage cans.
Wash the inside and outside of the can with a strong bleach solution. Use 3/4 cup of bleach to one gallon of water. If it's a sunny day, place the can outside and let it air dry.
Step 11: Sweep/mop floors and wash any throw rugs you have in the kitchen.
Step 12: If you have a pet and have dishes that sit on the floor, don't forget to thoroughly clean their food and water dishes.

LF is all LSU. He knows he will play early plus his dad and Frank are tight.
No, I'm saying he could be offered as OC/RC depending on who they get as HC. Ole Miss tried to give him the OC job last year but he deflected it because it wouldn't be his offense anyway. Not sure he wanted to go in that mess either over in Ole Piss. It would take something attractive to remove him from LSU but you better believe he's going to be targeted a lot. Look at the talent he's rolling into LSU since he came here...we have arguably our most talented teams ever under Frank. We need to throw the bank at him and keep him here. Give him an OC/HC waiting title - something. He's going to be successful wherever he goes.
He'll be targeted even more this upcoming coaching change because teams are going to want Louisiana's very top-heavy recruiting next year. Arguably one of the better ones in recent memory. All the more reason why Frank is important to keep at LSU...

American Humanics program ranks in top 5 nationally in certifications
By Molly Cox
Senior Program Coordinator, American Humanics
(July 21, 2009)--The American Humanics program in the UTSA College of Public Policy's Center for Policy Studies recently received national attention for its record-breaking certifications. The UTSA program is in the top 5 of American Humanics national certifying institutions for 2009.
American Humanics (AH) is a unique, national program that brings together universities, nonprofit organizations and community partners to educate, prepare and certify professionals to lead nonprofit organizations. UTSA's AH program is composed of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as nonprofit professionals in South Texas.
This year, the program surpassed the performance of the last five years combined. Between 2003 and 2008 the program certified 16 individuals. This year, however, 21 were certified, earning UTSA's program a spot among the 2009 Top 5 American Humanics National Certifying Institutions.
Certification is no easy task. Students seeking certification must complete a demanding course load, be active in leadership and service activities, and participate in a 300-hour internship with a nonprofit organization. Last academic year, students contributed more than 2,000 hours as interns and more than 1,000 volunteer hours in the local nonprofit community.
Local nonprofit professionals receive certification with completion of UTSA's nonprofit management program, an eight-month, non-credit, continuing education program. Requirements for professionals include a history of working with or volunteering in the nonprofit sector, a B.A. or B.S. degree from an accredited university and completion of a five-page reflective essay.
The program has had a significant impact on communities with graduates from the UTSA program having taken positions with nonprofits locally and nationally. Former American Humanics Student Association president and 2009 graduate Crystal Del Bosque now works in community development at the National Association of Latino Community Builders.
Graduate Amy Rothe is director of special events for the New York Staffing Association. Zulema Reyna, B.A., '08, interned with the local chapter of the Boy Scouts of America before becoming district executive of the Houston area council. The experience students get while participating in the AH program provides them the skills to graduate and move directly into the work sector.
Certified student Jacob Bunch said, "Through the AH program, I feel even more secure in my decision to be a nonprofit professional, serving as a disability advocate and fundraiser. The professional development provided by the program to the benefit of my eventual, professional career is invaluable." Bunch is working toward a master's degree in nonprofit studies at Arizona State University.
Alan Beckstead, president of the board of the San Antonio AIDS Foundation and recent AH certificate recipient, said, "The primary reason I sought out certification was to get a better insight to the changing environment for nonprofits and how to inspire the board and staff -- to continue their evolution as a stronger agency."

The lead singer of the Gaslight Anthem who thinks he is the next Bruce Springsteen. He got the name "Gaslight" because Bruce used to play his gigs at the gaslight club. He is always talking about Springsteen in his interviews, plays a telecaster, and emulates bruce and it's really annoying...Their both douchebags in my opinion..His songs are good, but he's like The Game (rapper) because he is always name dropping or stealing lines from previous artists' songs. His mouth is really tiny and he needs braces...he tends to sit cross legged while playing acoustic guitar and wears tight pants and vans slip on shoes with no socks. He also wears the same hats springsteen wore in the 70s and flannel shirts. Nonetheless, he's got great talent and will go far with his band if they stay punk rock if their next album becomes pop then they will lose a ton of fans especially here in Jersey. Hopefully Brian won't be a sell out like his idol. My cousin knows Benny and that cat is awesome. Check out Spiro Agnew on myspace.

Hematologists Gerald Soff and Rekha Parameswaran are experts in managing the blood disorders that may arise during cancer treatment.
Having a benign blood disorder, or experiencing a blood complication, can make cancer treatment more challenging. Cancer and its treatment often increase the risk of developing problems such as blood clots, bleeding disorders, and anemia. In some cases, patients have a preexisting blood disorder that can be made worse by chemotherapy.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we integrate the prevention and treatment of blood complications into your overall care plan. A team of physicians specializes in both managing blood disorders and treating cancer. Our Hematology Service works closely with your primary treatment team — no matter what type of cancer you have — to identify and manage any blood complications that occur during your treatment. We will:
- assess your individual risk of developing blood problems
- develop a coordinated treatment plan that prevents blood complications
- diagnose and manage any blood problems that arise during your treatment
- ensure that your cancer treatment is not compromised by a blood complication
- perform additional blood tests during your regular follow-up visits if you experienced a complication during treatment
Our team also includes specially trained nurses who carefully monitor your condition throughout your treatment, respond swiftly to any blood problems that may arise, and administer medications to help manage blood conditions.
Preventing blood-related complications during cancer treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to learn about your family history and any preexisting blood conditions, and to check for any symptoms that might indicate a blood problem. Blood tests measure your blood cell counts and your ability to form blood clots before you begin cancer treatment. This information helps your cancer care team to plan your treatment in a way that prevents blood problems. While you are receiving cancer therapy, you will have additional tests to monitor your blood and identify any blood clots that may have developed.
Having blood specialists on staff is critical to preventing conditions from becoming life threatening, increasing your comfort during cancer therapy, and allowing you to complete your treatment with as few interruptions as possible.

Maybe someone has suggested it before, but I think I have identified the source of the multi color wookie braid. It is called a stampede string, the rawhide Turks head knots were the clue. After studying it a while I knew that I had seen something like it before. Check out this site:
Trying to find the right color combo would probably drive one crazy though. In the long run it would be easier just to make it from scratch.

Jeez, we have sooooo many needs, between o-line, the whole defense across the board, and limited cap space, possible FA defections this year and next, etc.. With that in mind, I'd like to see them trade down in the first round, possibly more than once, and try to stockpile picks in rounds 2-5. Many times, those players have very little dropoff of talent, and later round players come cheaper. Plus, with more picks, you have more chances to make up for a whiff, or take a chance on a great athlete from a small school, etc.
Anybody agree?

Mary Anne Hobbs Resigns from Radio 1
Mary Anne Hobbs, the legendary dub-head DJ on Radio 1, has announced that she will be leaving the BBC. After 14 years of serving the station, the Breezeblock host will end her tenure as one of the medium's finest on September 9.
In an official statement, via her MySpace page, Hobbs announced her resignation. Her words, as such, below. Super sadcakes.
After the statement, check out a video exclusive following Hobbs around her recent trip to NYC. Big ups to my pals Mitch and Oliver who aided in the production for URB!LEAVING THE BBC...
Yesterday i resigned from BBC Radio1, after an amazing multi-dimensional 14 year career.
The great freedoms the BBC have given in me as a broadcaster, have allowed me to help break so many confrontational artists as diverse as Slipknot and Skream, and of course, the whole genre of Dubstep in recent times.
My current Experimental show is in peak condition, it's never been stronger. And although it's a very emotional decision to leave the show that I love so much, it's also an optimum moment to bow out, at the very top of my game.
My work for Radio1 on the Breezeblock, Rock Show, many fascinating documentaries about everything from David Bowie to Dubstep, on daytime, at festivals and award ceremonies, has been exceptionally rewarding. These have been glory days not just for me, but for all the artists who have shared my BBC platform, and of course, the listeners everywhere from Beijing to Berlin, Baltimore to Blackpool, who shared a great passion for future sound.
I will continue to DJ live, work in film, and curate at Sonar festival in Barcelona.
I have also accepted a new job mentoring and teaching students at the University of Sheffield's Union Of Students radio station, TV station and the newspaper that operate out of their superb Forge Media Hub, which presents me with a really exciting new challenge.
My last show on BBC Radio1 will be broadcast:
September 8th>>9th … Wednesday night >> Thursday morning… 2-4am
Thank you so much for listening.

Short for "mobile entertainment", m-tertainment includes movies, music, cellevision, and games received on a wireless phone. It is quickly becoming a major sector of the wireless industry, and the term is being used more and more by the general public as the technology advances.
It is estimated that 20% of wireless phone owners use some sort of m-tertainment services, and that number is expected to increase dramatically over the next few years.

Somewhere among you are the grown-ups traumatized by homemade Halloween costumes. All the other kids on the block had the store-bought Ninja Turtle suits while you were wearing a green sweatsuit. Kids of the 21st century have the opposite problem — who wants a thin piece of printed polyester when next door there's a mom building a Bumblebee costume that actually transforms?
Of course, cardboard Transformers are so 2009. (If you haven't seen any, search YouTube for "transformers costume," and you'll find a bounty.) Here in the future, we add electronics, and a few new products are making it even easier for those of you don't know how or don't want to program an Arduino. Here's how to make sure your costume is the best on the block — and then how to win a little reward for having done it.
Make it twinkle
SparkFun is carrying two new boards, the LilyTiny and LilyTwinkle (each $6.95). They're smaller than Arduinos and other breakout boards, and they're already coded, so you don't have to do any programming yourself. For the LilyTwinkle, you just sew on four LEDs and connect the battery. The LEDs will automatically twinkle. The LilyTiny gives you a few more options. Each LED acts differently, blinking, flashing like a heartbeat, fading in and out, or randomly fading. They are also both re-programmable. If you're not ready to code or need something with a small profile, you're spending a lot less money for these, and they're a lot simpler. They're also a good introduction to this type of microcontroller that will have you wanting more.
The next step up is the LilyPad Arduino, which has been available for several years. If you do program, these offer you a wealth of costuming options with conductive thread and a wealth of options.
Dia Campbell of SparkFun recently posted a tutorial using the LilyTiny and extra LilyPad LEDs to make the pair of twinkling fairy wings pictured above. Of course, they could also be dragon wings or any other sort of wings, or you can just use the tutorial as guidelines to put twinkle where you want twinkle!

preserving basil
Gday all.
Autumns now creeping in here in Australia and my currently thriving basil will start to pack up for the winter. Does anyone have any good suggetsions for preserving basil? Freezing and drying are the obvious choices but id like something a little more interesting . If I make some pesto, is there any way to preserve it long term? I've only just started getting into jaring and it seems to me that the heat in the sterilization process would destroy the pesto. Any other ideas? basil jam perhaps! (im tempted to try this anyway ) all ideas welcome.

Re: preserving basil
Gday Evan
I freeze pesto as I read somewhere the oil preserves its colour as well as its flavour .Turns out allright for me. I do it in ice cube trays, remove and wrap in plastic wrap and store the lot in an old icecream container. And we're in the same situation where our herbs are starting to struggle in the cooler nights.
I also freeze oven -dried Roma tomatoes cos I find they cloud up a bit in oil over time and I worry about mould! I've just dried 20 kgs tomatoes and my wife is out today getting more to make up the sauce we saw on Jamie last week on Aussie TV. 20 kgs of dried tomatoes was a huge amount but we use them as a sauce for pasta , and we bought a new whizbang 100cm oven that swallowed the lot in one go. But it took 10 hours to dry them. Result ??? ----Bloody fantastic !!!

Re: preserving basil
Preserving Basil
You can dry it or freeze it, but freezing retains the fresh taste better. Before you start, wash basil in cold water and dry; a salad spinner works well for this step.
To freeze your basil, pull leaves from stems.
Then, in a food processor, with knife blade attached, puree 2 cups packed leaves with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Drop the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the paper; freeze one hour or until firm.
Transfer the dollops (you should have about 16) to a self-sealing, freezer-safe plastic bag and store for up to two months.
To use in a recipe, stir in a frozen dollop when you're almost finished cooking the soup, chicken or beef stew, or spaghetti sauce.
You can also freeze leaves whole and keep them for up to a year.
First, blanch leaves for two seconds in boiling water, then drain and rinse immediately with cold water.
Pat leaves dry and store in a large, freezer-safe container, separating each layer with plastic wrap.
Use in cooking as you would fresh basil leaves, but, cup for cup, frozen leaves are more compact than fresh ones, so use a little less than the recipe calls for.
Basil Jelly
Basil jelly would go nice with pastas or italian cuisine, maybe even
on garlic bread. Maybe an addition to pesto?
1 cup (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves - the fresher the better
1 cup white vinegar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cups water
6 1/2 cups sugar
Two 3 oz. pouches liquid pectin
Place the basil leaves, lemon juice and vinegar in an 8 to 10 quart sauce
pot. The larger size is necessary since this recipe boils up a LOT. Let
the basil, lemon juice and vinegar stand while you are measuring the two
cups water. Add the water.
Heat almost to boil, stirring to blend, then add all the sugar at once. Stir to
dissolve sugar. Bring to hard boil, add two 3-ounce pouches of
liquid pectin, 6 ounces total.
Bring back to boil, boil hard for 1 minute or until jelly point is reached. Remove from heat. Remove basil leaves with slotted spoon. Pour immediately into hot, sterilized 1/2 pint jars, seal and process 10 minutes in boiling water bath

Has this ever happened before?
Last year the Pope started using a cane on occasions and recently he appeared to have trouble reading the text of an address he delivered in Rome.
While it was "beautiful to be old", age brought challenges and difficulties with which he himself was familiar.
Regarded as a doctrinal conservative, the pope, 85, said that after examining his conscience "before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are longer suited to an adequate exercise" of his position as head of the world's Roman Catholics.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," he told the cardinals. "I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only by words and deeds but no less with prayer and suffering.
However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of St. Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary — strengths which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately the ministry entrusted to me."
Doc Fenton
Why do you think Benedict is the greatest pope of your lifetime?
well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce
quote:Another Bama fan heard from.
Come on, Scoop. I'm not Catholic but this is something that kids will read about in history books years from now. Why would you want to torment Catholics by saying those things?
Because it's true.

Chocolate Bourbon Tart
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup bourbon
1 cup sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
5 large eggs, room temperature
In a small bowl, sift the flour with the cocoa powder and salt. In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar at medium-high speed until it is well blended. Beat in the dry ingredients at low speed until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and beat just until soft dough forms, about 5 seconds. Press the pastry into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, working quickly, roll out the pastry to an 11-inch round, about ¼-inch thick. Transfer the pastry to a 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Gently press the pastry over the bottom and up the side of the pan. Trim off any excess pastry. Refrigerate the shell for about 20 minutes, until firm.
Line the pastry with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for about 30 minutes, until almost cooked. Remove the tart shell from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes, then gently remove the foil and weights. Return the shell to the oven and bake for about 12 minutes longer, until dry. Transfer to a wire rack and let the tart shell cool to room temperature. Just before filling, refrigerate the tart shell for a few minutes until slightly chilled.
Filling: Put the chocolate and salt in the bowl of the standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. In a small saucepan, heat the bourbon with the sugar over moderate heat, stirring a few times, just until the sugar is dissolved; try not to let the bourbon boil. Pour the warm bourbon mixture over the chocolate. Add the pieces of butter and eggs; beat at moderate speed until the mixture is creamy and shiny.
Set the tart shell on a large baking sheet and pour in the filling. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the filling has risen and the top is cracked in places. Transfer the tart to a rack and let it cool completely. Unmold the tart and refrigerate it overnight. Using a sharp knife, cut the tart into thin wedges and serve.

Waxing just doesn't take that long and the bees take to them fine. Unless you are going foundationless I don't see how you beat that price. They extract just fine.

Bonnie Says: 'RHNY' Trip To Morocco Ruined By Catfighting Between Ramona & Team Jill!
My advice to Countess LuAnn — don't bother setting up a luxurious trip to an exotic location like Morocco again for your 'RHNY' BFFs!
Despite the fact the Housewives are staying in gigantic, beautifully-decorated rooms at the hotel, chauffeured by handsome guides to the most fascinating attractions in Morocco, NOTHING has been enough to distract the wives from their obsessive bickering with each other.
The ruinators of the June 9 episode were Jill and Ramona who attempted to put aside past differences in a disastrous get-together in Ramona's room. But when Ramona failed to come across with the sincerity Jill was seeing, the stage was set for two days of vacation drama.
A shaken Jill turned to LuAnn and Kelly for comfort while Ramona — who was left sobbing on her bed — was rescued from hysterics by Sanja and Alex.
The battle lines were drawn! Instead of actually taking advantage of the Moroccan sights the next day, Romana and Alex stayed back at the hotel commiserating on how emotionally drained Ramona was by Jill's "attack."
Meanwhile Jill soldiered on bravely visiting the historic Palais Bahia, with Kelly and LuAnn who was visibly annoyed that her efforts to please the girls, were being blown up.
Meanwhile Kelly is the only housewife aside from LuAnn who has been appreciating the gift of a lavish trip to Morocco. She finally "lost it" after Alex stormed in on a henna-tattoo session LuAnn had arranged back at the hotel, after the sighting.
Just as the henna artists went to work, Alex interrupted and demanded immediate attention. With so much drama, you might have thought she was trying to warn the wives about an impending tsunami!
But alas — it was only an emotional emergency! Even though LuAnn tried to get Alex from destroying the moment, Alex persisted and accused LuAnn of being "a snake" to Ramona, for not taking Ramona's hurt feelings seriously enough the night before.
It was like high school at its best! Kelly rightly called Alex "weird" and Alex broke out in pink splotches all over her neck. Somehow Team Ramona all turned up at the dinner LuAnn has meticulously planned that night, between a half hour and an hour and a half late!
Alex and Ramona swore that LuAnn hadn't told them what time dinner started. LuAnn insisted she did and everyone ended up hungry. Fortunately, I believe Sonja had a stash of Pinot Grigio in her room so not all was lost.
I'm happy to report that after all the tears and accusation, Alex and Sonja finally hugged it out on the last day and agreed to be friends again!
What a relief! It was just in time for everyone to get their makeup done, Moroccan-style, dress up in traditional Moroccan gowns and toast to "harmony" at dinner!
LuAnn asked each of the "wives" their favorite thing about Marrakesh. She herself recalled that she used to be a varsity softball coach. Did she want to take a bat to anyone's head? Hmm!

OK, so I've been treatment free for a while and its becoming apparent that something needs to change. Most of my hives get through the first year, but in the second year they die out. Example - I had six hives this year. Two of them were survivors from last year and four of them are new this year. This fall the two year old hives collapsed. One week they are full of bees and looking healthy a week or two later they are gone, with very few dead in the hive. (This happened in late October in Oregon where the temps have been freezing at night)
Both of the two year old hives were from "survivor" stock. One was a nuk purchased at Old Sol and the other was a split from a local hive that has been around for a number of years. I simply cannot get a hive into year three, no matter how what I do. The hives had excellent stores and I even fed pollen patties (from Mann Lake) just to help out. (first time I have done that)
I have no doubt the bees are leaving because of high mite loads but since I don't treat with chemicals I'm not sure what I can do. My hives are made up of a mixture of small cell boards and foundationless frames.
Open to suggestions as I'm very near going back to treating my bees with a miticide.

It's peculiar how you can be our shut down corner last year and this year become the guy that the opposing team looks to target. Today was just sad to watch. I don't know when he lost it, but his mojo is gone. It is time for us to say our goodbyes. Thanks for the good times C-Web.

The company that created cute characters like Undiebabies and Lovi and Dovi. The Undiebabies are extremely funny looking and are a collector's item because they are very original and the only first characters to have under wears and bras on their heads. Their Lovi and Dovi characters are so adorable and silly. I like the characters because they give out positive messages in their fun way. They also sell plush toys and cool accessories.

FEMA searching neighborhood for flood victims
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Federal Emergency Management Agency employees spent their Saturday meeting with Colorado Springs flood victims.
They went door-to-door to homes closest to Cheyenne Creek. The hope is to help as many people as possible with the initial claims process and answer questions, especially if they don't know where to start.
"I think they're in a state of shock looking for guidance and direction and we're trying to provide that," said Randy Collier with FEMA.
FEMA said they've offered more than $12 million in assistance across the state and they expect more money to be available in the next few days.
Most of that money will be used for temporary housing and home repairs.
So far, 14,000 Coloradans have registered with FEMA.

I agree. He has made a lot of poor free agent decisions in the last few years.

Josh Cribbs can throw, as can Antrel Rolle. Neither have really gotten a chance to do so, though.
The Jets used Brad Smith pretty well, I thought Tebow was going to assume his role.

New Year New Start new Course
So its nearly another year and I want start the new year as I mean to go on by progress my career in security. I am so far doing the Hackingdojo course(Nidan Level) I have also singed up to security-tube.net metasploit course. And have just purchased the new OSWP material to keep my wifi skill up to date.
I really want do another course that will improve my skills even more. I was looking at OSCP and Elearnsecurity pro as they seem to be about the same price and heard lots good things about them.
So my question are what one would you pick and why ? also do EH get any discount ?
or is there an even better course that is not mention I am looking at about $600 to spend.


text: Well, tommorow I'm going to be picking up a trailer that weighs around 3000 pounds. No big deal, except I'm still running in my slightly screwy transmission cooler setup. My 700R4 transmission is getting cooled only by an auxillary transmission cooler, and has been since I replaced the transmission. When I replaced the transmission, I pulled the radiator cooler out of the loop in a fit of being an idiot. I haven't had any issues with it, but this is the first moderately heavy trailer I'm pulling with the truck since then. So the question is, is my aux transmission cooler at least as good as the factory cooler that would be in the radiator? If so, I think I'll be fine towing this trailer as the specs for the truck list that there's no special options needed to tow up to 3000 pounds.\ Also, could I/should I tow this trailer in overdrive? I am pulling the trailer around 4.5 hours one-way and overdrive would really help on fuel mileage if I don't burn the transmission up in the process? It seems like the trailer should be light enough not to cause an issue, but cooking a tranny is a VERY unattractive option. Thanks!

Not much room for 39 year-old receivers, unfortunately. He couldn't even crack the starting lineup of a Seattle team with an underpowered receiving corp.
He has to move on.
It's funny I heard him say him and Brandon Marshall would make a solid duo. He's talking like the Bears don't have receivers right now. Alshon Jeffery and Earl Bennett (slot) are not taking a back seat to TO at this point in his career. Hate to break that to him....

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
No offense, TO, but it is time for the popcorn and a soft chair. Your charm is just too demanding to fit in locker rooms.
I think the Giants need a veteran presence in the locker room. He can help Cruz grow up and move on from this contract funk...

Welcome to Rush Management and Safety Week. Rush is dedicating seven consecutive articles, one per day, to be posted on the web regarding Risk Management and Safety. This is article 7 of 7.
The Rush has dedicated large amount of content on the topic of good eating habits. What to eat, what not to eat, when to eat, etc. Taking care of your temple is vital if you are going to play sports. It is just something do.
Coaches and Parents, all of the above content is great but if we fail to mention smoking and the illegal use of drugs, we are failing in our responsibility as leaders. This is common sense but needs to be addressed. We as coaches, leaders and parents <300 11> must ask players to be strong and courageous. Coaches, dedicate five minutes of your practice discussing this topic. Without being too dramatic, it may save someone's life.
Players: If you are a player reading this, be a leader and stay away from smoking and the usage of drugs. We as athletes can put in up to 6 miles in a 90 minute game, twisting, turning, sprinting, falling. All this energy requires a sound mind and body! Not only is this bad for you, we have the right to excuse you from being part of the team. This behavior<140 10> is unacceptable.

Hello all,
I have just built a top bar hive body out of a plastic drum, reclaimed lumber and a table top. Now I need to make top bars. I am waiting on a book I ordered on how to build hives, but I was wondering any of you fine people had any experience making your own top bars? My hive body is 23" wide, so my bars will probably be 25" long. Any tips on how to cheaply made good top bars? Thanks in advance. I have a ton of fun building this first hive, I might want to do it again.

If Takahashi isn't on par technically in LP, there is a chance that he could finish off the podium. Same to Brezina. I'm not so worried about Chan because he usually has strong technical content in LP, and could extend the gap between him and the next skater further. Joubert or Fernandez has a great chance to be on the podium.
Well I still don't get it because I don't see superstar when NM's students skate with that awful choreography but I guess what matters is that the judges seem to see the illusion...lol
But the boisterous outrage and calls for the head have been about the unforgivable falls.Originally Posted by museksk8r
I always say be careful what you wish for. Karma has a wicked sense of humour.
The more pertinent question is where in the world, not how.How in the world is Amodio fifth?
Can't get over how wrong this short went for certain skaters...
Well I'm happy I was introduced to Kim Lucine at least. Off to watch his short again.
Looks like russia doesn't want to send Gachinski to Worlds next year, with one spot only, it will be Plushenko.

Would a stamp of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or The Giver author Lois Lowry make you want to send more snail mail? The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) hopes so. The USPS announced Monday that, for the first time, living Americans will be eligible to appear on U.S. postage stamps next year.
Since 2007, the USPS policy has required that a person must be deceased five years before they are eligible for the honor of appearing on a stamp. Before that, the requirement was 10 years. The exception was for former presidents, who are traditionally remembered on a stamp in the year after their deaths. Now, any nationally known American, past or present, is eligible.
"This change will enable us to pay tribute to individuals for their achievements while they are still alive to enjoy the honor," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said. The post office will consider creating stamps for American musicians, sports stars, writers, artists and other famous figures.
Saving Stamps
The new stamps may help bring more income to the struggling USPS, which lost $8.5 billion last year. Americans are sending fewer letters and packages as they rely more on free and fast email and other electronic services. In 2010, 28.6 billion stamped letters were mailed, compared to 53.6 billion in 2001. The price of a stamp rose from 34 cents to 44 cents over the past decade. The USPS does not receive tax dollars to run its business, so it relies on the sale of postage, products and services.
The USPS hopes to raise interest in stamp collecting among citizens, since stamps purchased for collections help boost income. A committee and the postmaster general will select the first living Americans to receive the stamp honor. The USPS is inviting the public to suggest famous Americans for consideration. You can mail your ideas to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, c/o Stamp Development, Room 3300, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington DC 20260-3501. Also, vote in the poll below to tell us who should appear on a stamp.

Hi. The library is looking good so far. Thanks!
I'm using VS.NET 2003, have the project linked to libSOIL.a, and the file in question includes SOIL.h.
Thanks! When using VS.NET 2k3, I'd recommend linking against one of the MS compiler generated *.lib files. (The libSOIL.a file is meant for the MinGW compiler.) I'd try SOIL_vc7.lib first to verify that it works.
If that doesn't fix the issue, I'd try including "math.h" in that same source file and try doing a "temp = sqrtf( temp );" and see if that causes any problems.

Durand got his chance to try his hand at painting when, in 1834, he was commissioned by Luman Reed to do a series of oil portraits of the first seven presidents of the United States. Reed himself is notable in American art history as being the first collector of work by American artists, having sold off earlier purchases of European masters in favour of work by Durand, Thomas Cole, and William Sidney Mount. It was Reed, in fact, who had indulged Thomas Cole in painting his Course of Empire for the private art gallery in the new home he was building. At any rate, following the successful completion of the presidential series, Durand was emboldened to try landscapes. His naturalistic style and engraver's eye for detail caused him to quickly become this country's predominant landscape painter as well.
In 1848, upon the death of Durand's friend, Thomas Cole, Jonathan Sturges, a business partner of Luman Reed's (who had also died), commissioned Durand to do a commemorative painting. The result was perhaps the foremost painting of the Hudson River School, Kindred Spirits. The painting is not a large one, barely more than three feet square. It depicts a rocky stream flowing down through the Catskills, primeval forest vegetation, and an outcropping of rock upon which stand Thomas Cole and his poet friend, William Cullen Bryant, also an ardent nature lover. This single painting sums up much of what Americans felt for their country, its landscape, and its art during the nineteenth century. It hangs today, not in an art museum, but in the New York Public Library.
