ROBOTS LIVE COMES TO LEEDS! - Friday, 6 July 2012
The UK's most spectacular robotic show – Robots Live! – arrives at the Royal Armouries Museum later this month as the highlight of our first-ever Robot Weekend (July 21 and 22).
Experience the likes of Behemoth, Big Nipper, Terror Hurtz and Storm II thundering around the arena in this action-packed live show, formed as a spin-off from the hit TV show Robot Wars. Enjoy shows on Sunday only, at 12.30pm, 1.30pm and 3pm – pre booking highly recommended.
Also see Star Wars' actor Kenny Baker– of R2D2 fame – make a personal appearance on the Saturday, followed by photo opportunities with the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers.
These will be just some of the highlights when robot nuts and techno-heads of all ages invade the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds for the chance to play, build, explore and have a go.
Or on a more serious note, explore the ethics of using robots as weapons of war – and discover career opportunities within the robotics industry.
Museum director Peter Armstrong said, "This promises to be a really exciting weekend, and a huge hit with both robot fans and families looking for a unique day out. The Robots Live show has had great reviews, and is guaranteed to thrill audiences."
The Robots weekend is the first of three special themed weekends at the museum this summer – followed by War Games (August 4 and 5) and Tournament Jousting (August 25, 26 and 27). Museum entry is free but charges apply for the Robots Live show (£5 adults, £3 under 16s).

I went into my hive today. Haven't been able to check it for a few weeks. I have two deeps and 1 shallow. The shallow is quite empty with very little comb built up. The two deeps are in full production with the exception of two frames.
I found 12 queen cells. All but one was capped. I immediately went looking for the existing queen and found her. There were no eggs or uncapped larva to be found. Plenty of capped brood in nice patterns. The queen's abdomen was looking slightly shriveled. Two of the queen cells were in the middle of frames, the rest were hanging off the bottom of frames.
Assuming a swarm, should I kill the existing queen and let the new queens hatch, then add two shallows?
If it's supercedure should I let everything go and (just in case) watch for a swarm?
I can't tell what I'm looking at. If they are about to swarm can I halt the process by eliminating the old queen before they swarm?
The hive was very calm and it did't seem to be overcrowded. It's a beautiful day 78 degrees, sunny and a slight breeze. They were not coming and going like I would expect under these conditions.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

This Rupert and Kristen affair is not just about cheating this is also about hideous scheme of getting ahead of a futuristic career plan for both or just Kristen's way of moving further on her acting career. It's not that she's sexually attracted to Rupert, the guy is just one of stepping stone to move forward, she just have to thank him the Hollywood way that's all and unfortunately SWATH seems to be stalled at the moment. Which both Rupert and Kristen thought is the next box office movie and can be bigger than twilight, you can refer to interviews they both had on swath promos. So the mistake everyone's talking about shouldn't be focus on the cheating part, its more than that. The recklessness of Rupert and Kristen that got them in trouble which righteousness came hammering down on them. I guess that's what happens when ego got big.

RATIONALE: Breast-conserving surgery is a less invasive type of surgery for breast cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial studies how well breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy work in treating patients with multiple ipsilateral breast cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if lung ablation improves clinical outcomes for patients deemed to be surgically high-risk.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-period crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Pharmacokinetics and Extension. The study will enroll approximately 60 subjects with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver. Approximately 8 sites in the US will participate in this study.
Jacksonville, Fla.
This is a multicenter, open-label, first-time-in-human study with a standard 3+3 dose-escalation phase in subjects with advanced solid tumors followed by an expansion phase in patients with advanced solid tumors. An exploration cohort has been added to determine the safety using Q4W dosing.
La Crosse, Wis., Rochester, Minn.
RATIONALE: Testosterone may help relieve moderate or severe arthralgia associated with the use of aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole or letrozole.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies testosterone to see how well it works compared to placebo in treating postmenopausal patients with arthralgia caused by anastrozole or letrozole.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy of INCB054828 in subjects with advanced/metastatic or surgically unresectable cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 translocation who have failed at least 1 previous treatment.
This project will investigate whether ctDNA analysis in newly diagnosed stage I, II, III breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy can predict pathological Complete Response (pCR).
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of the study is to test different doses of X4P-001 given alone and in combination with axitinib in patients diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma. The goals of the study are to determine the safety and tolerability of X4P-001, as well as the potential effect it may have on the body and the cancer tumor.

The movie Untraceable~ thumbs down!
Was it true that the "hacker" had high jacked thousands of boxes in Russia? The FBI could not stop him because every time they black holed his high jacked computer another one of his would connect to the DNS server? Is that it? Did I miss something? I must have. First of all, so what if he had 1000 or more boxes, just keep black holing them if need be. So what if it took a few days. In the movie, the FBI agent gave up after about 2 tries I think. Why not take out the first and secondary DNS servers if you actually had the power to black hole? That should do it. Where these servers or normal home boxes he high jacked? Can't remember. There is no way a home machine could host thousands upon thousands of connections with live streaming video. No way he could have really owned that many high speed servers even in a 3rd world country. Oh well, just another movie stereotyping hackers as evil I guess. Again, please correct me if I missed something.

I generate enormous amounts of scraps when I scrapbook. Patterned paper is one of my enduring loves when it comes to scrapbooking supplies so even if a piece of paper is partially used, I still find it difficult to let go of the leftovers. My paper scrap stash is impressive and I am here to show you one of the ways that I reduce my stash: making ready-made paper piecings. I call this my hobby within the scrapbooking hobby or as my second child calls it "making animals."
When I wrap up a layout, the papers on my table are at its most coordinated state. I often turn to my beloved Cricut or Cameo to make cuts and prepare the scraps for the next step. As you can see here, I have a stash of already made paper piecings that can be easily incorporated into a card by adding a sentiment and some additional papers. This is also an activity that my second child loves doing with me so there's plenty of quality bonding time for us. Indeed, she also has a little box of her own where she keeps her "animals" with their given names on the back. I would say mine are better assembled than hers, but who's judging?
This is a good way to use up some scraps but of course it creates smaller scraps. Now if you have ideas on how to further deal with the smaller scraps, please let me know. I do put them into the recycle bin, but I've been known to fish some out because I am a weak-minded person when it comes to letting pretty papers go, however small the pieces might be!

Acoustical benefits of duct liners and available choices of liner materials
In HVAC systems, ducts distribute more than air; they also distribute noise produced by fans. Duct liners (Photo A) were developed in part to absorb noise before it emanates from ductwork. Designers apply different thicknesses and lengths of duct liner to reduce noise to various levels. Understanding the acoustical benefits of duct liners and the available choices in liner materials helps in specifying a system that is efficient and effective, both in terms of noise performance and HVAC ...

I don't often blog about movie news here at FMR.
But this is enormous news, and bears discussion. I feel as though I need to say something. This is an unimaginable story. Seriously… could anyone have imagined this prior to today?
George Lucas has sold Lucasfilm to the Disney for $4.05 billion. Disney has already announced their intention for a new Star Wars film (Episode VII) in 2015, and a new movie every two to three years after that.
I've been having trouble concentrating on anything else since I heard this news… I had to put something up right away, so that anyone who wanted to could discuss.
Click through to read my thoughts and leave yours!
My immediate thoughts are threefold.
1) Good riddance. Lucas proved he had little to offer the franchise creatively with the subpar Episodes I-III, and his continued ghastly "revisions" to the original films.
2) I'm excited that the rights to the prior films will be in the hands of a company has no interest in perpetuating some asinine, retroactive "Creative Vision". I eagerly await my restored, original trilogy Blu Rays, and I eagerly await seeing the unadulterated versions on TV as opposed to the CGI besmirched hack jobs.
3) I don't hold the same trepidation regarding new Star Wars movies that I typically do with your typical revisitations. Lucas has already done the damage with the prequels. There's literally nothing that can be done with further movies that can spoil the originals any further. I have a hard time imagining that the new movies can damage the franchise more than Lucas himself did.
I'm honestly ecstatic. For years I've harbored resentment towards the franchise of my childhood, all due to the continued intrusion of a director who had clearly lost his fastball, and a businessman who put his self-interest before the wants of the fans. As opposed to celebrating the movies (which you all know I love to do), I've been embittered and disenfranchised.
Well. No more. Couldn't be happier! Let the Star Wars reconciliation begin!!

text: I want to go ahead and make a helmet before i get into armor and such but i have no clue where to start! I could always start from scratch i know, but if i could find a pre-made helmet made of something super strong that would be ideal. Money isnt really an object so im not worried about the price. I want it to look like a more mandalorian version of the commandos helmets with more of the T-visor than they have but honestly would settle for a plain old Boba helmet :P Any help is greatly appreciated guys! (also gotta make one for my wife... but thats later)

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Advertising lawyers specialize in product claims made to consumers. Different products have different rules—for example, cigarette ads may not be shown on television, and prescription drug ads must include information about side effects. Advertising laws require truthful product descriptions on packaging and labels. Other laws prohibit bait-and-switch strategies, where an unavailable, cheap product is advertised to lure you in for a more expensive one. If you are marketing a product, an advertising lawyer can help ensure that your marketing messages comply with advertising laws. You would also consult an advertising attorney if you have made a purchase based on an advertised claim that you now believe to be false.

Uniform Trial Court Rules (UTCR) The UTCR are the Chief Justice's rules for all Oregon circuit courts. Former Chief Justice Edwin J. Peterson directed the court system to develop these rules in 1983, when the state unified its courts into a state-funded system. The rules promote just, speedy, and inexpensive case resolution; efficient use of court time and resources; and uniform, consistent practice in every judicial district.
The rules must be consistent with state law and with the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Chief Justice appoints a committee, called the UTCR Committee, to review proposed changes to the rules each year. After its review, the Committee makes recommendations to the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice has final authority to adopt, not adopt, or change the proposed rules. Changes take effect each year on August 1.
Related statutes: ORS 1.002(1)(a), 1.006. Supplementary Local Rules of the Oregon Trial Courts (SLR) Circuit courts may adopt local rules that govern local practice. These local rules, called supplementary local rules or SLR, must be consistent with the UTCR, the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure, and state law.
The UTCR Committee reviews each circuit court's rules and proposed changes annually. The Committee then makes recommendations to the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice has authority to disapprove proposed and existing rules.
Unless disapproved by the Chief Justice, SLR takes effect each year on February 1. We post the new SLR on this site in mid-January. The Chief Justice may approve "out-of-cycle" adoption to meet special needs.
Related laws and rules: ORS 3.220; UTCR 1.050(1)(b)

Union of Dzogchen and BodhichittaPaperback
About the Author
Anyen Rinpoche is a tulku from Amdo, Tibet, and is a scholar and heart son of his root Lama, Tsara Dharmakirti Rinpoche. He is of the Longchen Nyingthig lineage, and was intruduced to the Dzogchen teachings by the renowned Dzogchen master Patrul Rinpoche. He holds the degree of khenpo and was the head scholar at the monastic university in Kham, Tibet.
Anyen Rinpoche was raised from birth by the accomplished Dzogchen yogi Lama Chupur. In addition to receiving the entirety of his own root Lama's empowerments, transmissions, and oral instructions, Anyen Rinpoche received the transmissions, empowerments and instructions on the channels, wind energies and bindus from the eminent Ngakpa yogi Dorlo Rinpoche. He also studied Lamrim Chenmo, as well as the Gelugpa style of logic and debate, with Dehor Geshe.
Anyen Rinpoche founded the Orgyen Khamdroling sangha in Denver, Colorado, and a shedra for those who are interested in the study of Longchen Nyingthig. His teachings focus on extracting the essence of the Secret Mantryana teachings and the precious human life, so that practitioners can become genuine embodiments of the profound lineage teachings.

It may have a definitive sounding title, but Hitchcock isn't a biopic of the great director; rather it's a witty examination of Hitchcock's relationship with his wife and talented collaborator, Alma Reville, set against the backdrop of his most successful and controversial film, Psycho.
Inspired by Stephen Rebello's book - Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho - this begins at the premiere of his successful film North By Northwest in 1959. Unnerved when a reporter suggests that, at 60, he should quit while he's ahead, a restless Hitchcock almost immediately begins searching for his next project, preferably "something fresh, something different".
When Hitchcock comes across Psycho, Robert Bloch's gruesome book about serial murderer Ed Gein, he's convinced it's the perfect source material. When the studio and private investors refuse to fund the macabre story, the Hitchcocks must finance the film themselves.
Director Sacha Gervasi paints a broad picture of Hitchcock - including his fixation on his leading blondes - and has some fun with the director's dealings with American censors.
At its centre is a portrayal of the relationship between Alfred and Alma, celebrity director and his low-profile and often uncredited creative partner.
Frustrated by Hitchcock's cold manner, and his fascination with his actresses, Alma starts enjoying the company of a scriptwriter. .
With the Psycho shoot starting to unravel, the idea of his wife having an affair is too much for Hitchcock, who realises he needs to save his marriage so he can save his film. It was Alma, after all, who worked beside her husband in the editing suite - she noticed a supposedly dead Janet Leigh still moving - to help turn Psycho into a classic.
The pleasure of Hitchcock comes in large part from the sparring between Mirren and Hopkins. As you'd expect, they're a class act, delivering the old married couple routine with conviction and plenty of humour. Hitchcock aficionados though will likely be less impressed by the lack of deeper insight into his peculiar genius.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren
Director: Sacha Gervasi
Running Time: 99 mins
Rating: M
Verdict: Pleasant, enjoyable and well acted

I am out $40 thanks to the U.S. Men's team. Hopes were high in the beginning with a two goal lead but Mexico proved too fast and the U.S. team, too disorganized. A sampling of my tweets from last night:
• USA! USA! USA! … Don't let me down. I've got $40 on this game. lol #goldcup #copadeoro
• gooooooooooool USA!
• claro – que viva mexico… pero que gane los EEUU jajaja ;) RT @soonerclone viva mexico!!
• Gooooool #2 USA & Donovan does the chicken dance in celebration lol #copaoro #goldcup
• Now 2-1 US leads MX. Goal by Barrera. #copaoro #goldcup
• Mexico ties it up. 2-2 Chicharito smartly steps over the ball to avoid offsides #goldcup #copaoro
• Mexico takes the lead 3-2 #copaoro #goldcup
• Ayyyysh! stupid porteria!
• Dempsey shouldn't have done that. Beating up on cute little Chicharito looks bad lol
• Noooooooo :( U.S. COME ON! ergh.
• @UcCaliChic25 LOL… this is difficult to watch. Like a lion slowly eating a gazelle on NatGeo #goldcup
• Felicidades Mexico. Team USA, I'm out $40 because of you. I am disappoint #goldcup
• Carlos is unhappy. Mexican co-workers are texting him to gloat lol …He turned his phone off.
Okay, I wanted to get a photo of the text Carlos received but he is really, really sore about it. He doesn't find it funny at all. (For one thing, they address him as "Pupusa" – that's his nickname as the only Salvadoran at work.) … Anyway, he is so far from amused that I actually need a separate post to talk about it – so that has to wait until más tarde.
As for the game, I'm really disappointed but I kind of don't understand why some people are such sore losers. I'm not just saying this because I like El Tri. I really wanted the U.S. to win, (like I said, I lost money betting on them!) – but in the end, it's just a game, isn't it? Look, I get totally passionate about fútbol, but I promise you, it really is just people kicking around a round object. When you think about how insignificant each human is in this universe, it seems rather silly that the inability of a handful of men to kick a ball into a net, should ruin your day.
Besides, there are other things to move on to, like the Women's World Cup now taking place in Berlin, Germany.
Unfortunately, (*cough* due to gender inequality *cough*) – it's not as easy to find the Women's World Cup games on television as it is to find men's games (of any kind.) … It frustrates me but I also find it strange to think about. The women's team is not getting the same treatment just based on what is, (or isn't), in their gym shorts. It's really baffling when you look at it like that.
Ni modo, here is where you can follow the games if you can't find them on T.V.

FIFA treats women's game as a burden – FOX sports/JENNIFER DOYLE
Fun fact:
"Until World War I, women players had to keep their hair under a cap or bonnet and hide their legs inside voluminous bloomers. In the 1910's, when many men were away at war, crowds flocked to see women's exhibition games. This wider acceptance of ladies' soccer enabled women's teams to start wearing soccer outfits that were similar to those worn by men and more suitable for the game." – pg. 29 / Eyewitness Books: Soccer
…two steps forward, one step back…
"Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men – such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?" – Sepp Blatter, President of FIFA, 2004 (source)

Every semester, a small group of qualified students come together to provide interior design services to the community. Founded in 2001, Charles Evans Studio is supervised by NCIDQ-certified professor Valerie Settles, and is known by its clients for producing the caliber of work one would expect from a seasoned design firm. With low overhead and an educational mission, Charles Evans Studio can deliver professional-quality design work at uncomparable rates.
*Projects with academic and community value will be given first priority.
**Please inquire at lest three months in advance.
Coffee and Wine Bar
Team: Chelsea Davis, Xiaoqian Dong, Rachel Majors, Guangun Wang
Goals: For this project, the students were to develop a conceptual design for a new coffee and wine bar that was to be built inside a historic building in a small central business district. The restaurant would serve an upscale yet informal clientele.
Results: The students developed a design that combined contemporary industrial materials with the highly textured existing surfaces of the historic building. They submitted a floor plan along with finish and furniture selections, and provided several computer-generated perspective renderings that represent the overall design concept.
Mertens Residence
Team: Bonnie Baltz, Ken Bittle, Carlos Castillo, Angel Fairless, Melissa Hamby
Goals: For this project, the students were to develop a design for a newly constructed home. The owner wanted a comfortable, contemporary style that complimented the clean lines of the architecture.
Results: The students selected furnishings, accessories, and window treatments that were represented on a finish plan provided to the client. Several renderings that combined computer-generated perspectives with hand-rendering techniques were used to illustrate the final design intent.
UCO Housing - Murdaugh Hall
Team: Chelsea Davis, XiaoqianDong, Rachel Majors, GuangunWang
Goals: For this project, the students were to develop a design to update the lobby area of a men's dormitory on the UCO campus. The new design needed to accommodate the activities and aesthetics of today's college student.
Results: The students developed a design that divided the space into zones for activities such as gaming, studying, and watching movies while updating finishes and furnishings with a more contemporary aesthetic. The client was provided with a plan that included finish and furniture selections as well as several computer-generated perspective renderings of the final design concept.

Missoula orchestra ends a record year
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Missoula Symphony Orchestra will give its last performance of the season this weekend.
After a record year for ticket sales, selling out every performance, Darko Butorac is showcasing world renowned solo violinist, Lindsay Deutsch.
Deutsch will duel the orchestra with her violin in a tango piece called Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, by Astor Piazzolla.
She is a classical violinist by profession, but enjoys more modern performances, which she says brings in a younger crowd.
Deutsch and her sister started a nonprofit called Classics Alive in Los Angeles, California.
It's dedicated to building classical music audiences.
She says the ticket sales in Missoula are inspiring.
"To be able to come to a town like Missoula and see that there is in fact going to be, not only a full house one night, but two nights in a row is unbelievable. Because there's just nothing worse, you go out and there's just like three people there and, ugh, no."
Tickets are sold at the box office from noon to show time. They can also be purchased by going to their website, missoulasymphony.org or call 721-3194,
Sunday's performance will be held in the Dennison Theatre on the University of Montana Campus at three pm.

Right at Home
Can one imbue a new house with an old soul? That was the issue confronting Thad Truett, a St. Simons Island-based architect, as he prepared to design an oceanfront home on Sea Island, Georgia.
The homeowners wanted a residence that would echo the brickwork and terra-cotta roofs of Casa Genotta, the 1932 home built by playwright Eugene O'Neill, which sits just two blocks away. This is not the high-style Spanish of Palm Beach, 360 miles to the south, but is instead a more rustic version that marks the northern reach of Spain's colonization along the Eastern Seaboard.

RE: st: Quantile regression

Thank you very much Nick for you response.
They are very useful in taking the analysis forward. Is there any way that variability within quartile groups be addressed ?
Best regards,

Subject: Re: st: Quantile regression
I will number your commands for ease of discussion.
1. xtile bmi_q = bmi, nquantiles(4)
2. bysort bmi_q sex:sum glucose, detail
3. bysort sex: anova glucose_log bmi_q
4. bysort sex: qreg bmi glucose age
#2 gives descriptive statistics, which no doubt could be useful. I
would expect graphs to be as or more useful, e.g.
scatter glucose bmi || lowess glucose bmi, by(sex)
#1 and #3 are choices that seem very hard to defend in any statistical
discussion. You are throwing away information on variability within
quartile groups of -bmi- and degrading the data.
#4 is puzzling too. Why expect a linear relation between -bmi- and its
predictors? If there are different relationships according to -sex-,
the most usual tactic is not to fit separate models, but to fit a
joint model with interactions between age and sex.
If -glucose- is the response, it should not be the predictor in #4.
Why is glucose treated as linear in one model and logged in another?
This is not my field, but I find it difficult to imagine that the
science _demands_ thinking in terms of quartiles. Quartiles are a best
a convenient categorisation and at worst an arbitrary and inefficient
Identifiying a best predictor is never easy and often futile.

Dempsey played on the left for 4 years at Fulham, would you consider him to be a winger? The word winger implies that he's going to take on defenders, get the the touchline and send in crosses.
Marc Pelosi arrived at the Academy from DeAnza Force Club in California.
The USA starlet caught the eye of Liverpool's scouts during the 2011 FIFA U17 World Cup in Mexico where he skippered his country to a place in the last 16.
A versatile, left-footed player, Pelosi is comfortable in central midfield, on the left wing and at left-back.
The second year scholar was born in Germany but has dual nationality and is highly regarded by staff in Kirkby.
@BrianSciaretta: Good reporting by @USAprospects to reveal that Fluminense and Brazil U17 NT winger Robert 'Kennedy' Nunes holds a USA passport
Well that certainly would be interesting. Obviously I've never heard of this kid, but the words Brazilian, winger, and us passport are definitely sparking some interest. Go find your wingman Juergen

Perkolations: Christmas lyrics, over-analyzed
With Christmas music blaring as early as November in every single shop, city sidewalk and radio station, inundating our ears from every angle, I, for one, sing along but find the action reflexive. I don't even think about the words coming out of my mouth.
But for some reason I started paying attention to Christmas carol lyrics and found a few that I just love.
"It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives ..." Have you ever seen the Currier and Ives prints? They're usually on cards or popcorn tins. The prints are of classic winter scenes from the 1800s, but when I hear the song I think of a modern adaptation — the house covered in snow, strings of lights that cover the eaves of the roof, warm lights on in the house, smoke coming out of the chimney, a Christmas tree in the window and usually a few deer in the yard. The picture perfect Christmas.
And it's not just the look of the house that's Christmasy; it's the warmth of the picture on a snowy landscape. It's a representation of the warm feeling of the holiday.
"Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire, to face unafraid the plans that we've made" ("Walking in a Winter Wonderland"). It's always making the plans that is harder for me than following through with them; but, nonetheless, I like this line.
The reason I like this little section of lyrics is because of the joy I get from staring into the fire with friends and family, drinking something warm, telling stories that may be slightly exaggerated and making plans similarly enhanced.
And then I like the idea of facing the world unafraid, filled with grand plans and ready to go outside and meet the cold air.
Here's another line: "Every mother's child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly." The real meaning of Christmas doesn't come from Santa, but I can't deny the magic Santa Claus brought to my childhood.
Do you remember the feeling you had when you saw Santa in the mall? Or when you listened or gazed hopefully for a glimpse on Christmas Eve, and the excitement you felt when you woke up in the early-morning darkness of Christmas Day?
Finally, there are the words used in songs to describe the birth of the baby. A holy night, glories streaming from heaven afar, fall on your knees. No matter what, I get a sense of wonder from the origin of the holiday and the effect it's had on our world.
So, have I over-analyzed Christmas music enough for you? Sing loudly! Have a wonderful Christmas, or whatever holiday fits your winter best.
"And so, I'm offering this simple phrase, for kids from 1 to 92. Merry Christmas to you."

Did they have to miss the game?
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I won't go as far to call them idiots. From that clip Meriweather looks like he hurt his knee bad. And Robinson isn't moving for a few seconds. I hope they are ok, and this mistake doesn't cost them
Giants fan since the early 80s
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
too bad they hurt each other but they are idiots for knocking each other out!
wow, yikes that had to hurt.


text: There's a huge difference between reserving the right to change your mind and lying. Dumars doesn't appear to act in haste. But as Tad suggests he's closed mouthed (as he should be since peoples livlihoods are at stake). We know nothing of the relationship between the two since the season ended. Everything except the the firing is heresay. It also true that anytime something happens you weren't expecting to happen - it appears hasty since you haven't had time to wrap your brain around it and it's consequences. You can be sure that Dumars spent a lot of time preparing to fire Coach Curry. It wasn't hasty and like many have suggested he most likely reached out to the replacement long before the pink slip arrived. I know there's a lot of concern over Doug Collins. But he has mellowed a bit since he last prowled the sidelines at the Palace.

Hope for Horses works with animal control in Buncombe and surrounding counties by assisting in rescues and providing valuable rehabilitation and adoption services throughout Western North Carolina. Our goal is to find quality homes for the many unwanted, neglected and abused horses in the WNC area. Many of the horses that come to us are in poor condition - usually malnourished and often have had no handling in months or years. Hope for Horses works diligently to provide only the best care and quality of life to these beautiful and deserving creatures until they can be adopted. Often times meaning hours of time spent handling them and frequent, late night visits to the barn for extra small meals while a horse is being reintroduced to hay and grain. Hope for Horses was established in 1998 to provide an adoption services for the equine population of Western North Carolina. This need became apparent because animal control didn't have a place to house them until adoption. Many horse lovers have dreamed of owning a horse and Hope for Horses offers an affordable alternative to make this dream come true. A long-term dream of founder Whitney Wright, Hope for Horses was given life largely due to the services of Dr. Ann Stuart of Appalachian Equine Mobile Veterinary Service, located in Barnardsville, North Carolina. Dr. Stuart knew of Whitney's dream and brought the very first horse to the farm. With Dr. Stuart's guidance, Hope for Horses began. The never-ending support of Drs. Stuart and Ted Wright provides the necessary medical care for horses brought in to the program. The additional support of approximately sixty-five dedicated volunteers and numerous local contributors enables this dream to continue. As our mission statement spells out, Hope for Horses also provides education to potential adopters on what it takes to care for an equine, as well as informing the public about the permanent damage that is created by the neglect and abuse of horses. Finally, Hope for Horses also provides an alternative to current horse owners in need of finding a new home for their horse through our program. While we believe there is a time and a place for euthanasia, we are steadfast in our belief that every horse deserves a safe and happy retirement whenever possible.

gmcharlie, I dont doubt you a bit. I just need to figure out whats missing here...
I do have a friend that keeps bees too and last year was a terrible year for him too. He was thinking the drought had a lot to do with that too.
gmcharlie, I dont doubt you a bit. I just need to figure out whats missing here...
I do have a friend that keeps bees too and last year was a terrible year for him too. He was thinking the drought had a lot to do with that too.
I am sure of it also. but not sure why. I had hives right next to each other 1/2 would be booming, half a bust..... so I know it wasn't weather issues and nectar. I think the lower nectar flow stopped them from being able to out breed lost brood..... I also think that some smaller hives just decided not to try to grow much..... My only point was to keep an open mind and realize its not just becvause its a package, or this breed of queen.... My russians did the worst last year....
[QUOTE=Andrew Dewey;925882]. As new packages don't have much in the way of a field force they did not produce any surplus honey for me and I ended up feeding them to get them up to winter weight.
How do you decide what is surplus honey? And how did you determine a healthy winter weight?
Location matters a whole lot with this. Mike is a Northern beekeeper so when he talks, I listen. (A good thing he sells queens, and not stocks and bonds)
Rob, for our part of the country I prefer 1 Med full of food or 6 deep frames, and a hard candy board for winter. I don't leave except for breeder hives, but thats a normal amount to get them thru with 1 good deep full of bees in oct.
gmcharlie, are you using 10 frame equipment or 8? I have only one 10 frame hive left. My 10 frame started as russian colony & I have 1 deep & two mediums that I have left on since like 2009. I dont take any honey from this hive but I do feed them over the winter & spring. My strong 8 frame hives have used two deeps and a medium over the winter. I also throw a feeder on top of those too.
I started a few 8 frame hives last year and they barely got all the frames drawn out on 1 medium and 1 deep going into winter. I did the mountain camp method on that them. They ate most of the sugar, but I found them all headfirst in the comb, this spring. No moths or shb in there either. That was two 8 frame hives.
The ones that build up good early, seem to do very well through winter. As I said before, some just seem to find it a challenge to draw the frames out.
For my packages that are coming, I do have fully drawn frames for them to start on.

Ethoxyquin in dog food
In the current issue of Experience Life...a freebie for being a member at Lifetime Fitness, they have an article regarding what's in your pet's food.
They cite a preservative called ethoxyquin which is used as a stabilizer. What I found of interest is, unless the dog food manufacturer adds it in, it does not need to be listed on the ingredients contents. I guess if the dog food manufacturer buys products from their sources and it already has ethoxyquin in it due to the suppliers process then one will never know if it is in their dog's food.
Sounds like ethoxyquin could have some adverse effects on a dog consuming this chemical over it's lifespan.....even in trace amounts on a daily basis.
From another source ...
How Ethoxyquin Can Sneak
Its Way into Dog Food
Although ethoxyquin can be directly added to a dog food at the time of manufacture, this is only rarely the case.
Thats because it can also be added indirectly to any recipe as a consequence of using certain poultry or fish meals3 that already contain the chemical at the time they are procured.
And so even though it may not be listed on the label it can still be present in virtually any dog food.
I assume this has been brought to light by others before but this was the first I heard about it.....glad I made the change to raw.

I've definitely had difficulty finding out whether there is ethoxyquin in some foods. A lot of food manufacturers that have it like to say that there is no use of ethoxyquin in their food making process (but the fish meat they get from a supplier is loaded down with it). Or they say their food is ethoxyquin free and it tests as only having a small amount of parts per million. Really? Is it free or is there ethoxyquin because it sounds like there's ethoxyquin. :rolleyes: My list of dry pet foods that I trust gets shorter each day. Once I get the space to have a stand alone freezer, I'm going completely raw.
"Performatrin Ultra/Grain-Free" and "GO! Fit and Free" dogs foods do not contain ethoxyquin. I would think that Orijen and Acana with their ingredients being "Fit for human consumption" that their foods would also be ethoxyquin free.

The Battle Against the World Trade Organization and Corporate Rule
By Kevin Danaher
Introduction: People Making History
November 30, 1999 marked a turning point in history. Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens took to the the streets of Seattle to stop the World Trade Organization (WTO) from conducting 'business as usual' (i.e., making rules for the entire planet that mainly serve the interests of large corporations).
Seattle marked a turning point in a number of ways. Never before had so much anti-corporate critique appeared in the corporate-controlled media. The Los Angeles Times opined: "On the tear gas shrouded streets of Seattle, the unruly forces of democracy collided with the elite world of trade policy. And when the meeting ended in failure on Friday the elitists had lost and the debate had changed forever."
This penetration of the corporate media with an anti-corporate message built on a growing public distrust of the corporate "free trade" agenda. A late-1999 poll by the University of Maryland found that 78 percent of Americans thought the WTO should pay more attention to environmental and labor concerns. A Business Week poll conducted during the protests found that 52 percent of Americans sympathized with the protestors.
Seattle marked the greatest failure of elite trade diplomacy since the end of World War II. Even in 1982, when the Reagan administration tried--and failed--to force through a new round of negotiations for trade liberalization, there was at least a declaration and future work agenda issued at the end of the conference. Not so in Seattle. The Clinton team, led by U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, handled the controversy in Seattle so ineptly that the talks ended in total collapse.
This was a huge blow to the Clinton administration, which had based most of its foreign policy on pushing for more international privileges for corporations. As the New York Times reported on February 19, 2000, "Administration officials now concede that [the Seattle] meeting was among the biggest blunders of Mr. Clinton's second term."
Most importantly, Seattle was the coming out party for a new global movement for citizen power that will certainly go on to bigger and better things. A remarkable diversity of interests came together with a unified critique of corporate rule. Trade unionists, environmentalists, human rights activists, church groups, AIDS activists, family farmers, and grassroots organizers from around the world all united against the WTO because it promotes the interests of large corporations over the interests of people and nature.
There were actually two battles in Seattle. The unity of the opposition movement in the streets exacerbated the disunity among the elites inside the WTO conference. Because the groups opposing the WTO included traditional Democratic Party constituencies (especially organized labor), President Clinton tried to calm their anger by giving a speech calling for international standards to defend the rights of workers. This emphasis on labor rights scared elitist third world leaders whose main bargaining chip with the transnational corporations is to offer up their working classes at low wages.
Plus, Clinton's speech came on top of a U.S. tradition of dominating international trade talks and bullying other countries, so third world leaders were in no mood to be lectured by a U.S. president. Even European governments were reluctant to go along with U.S. insistence on lowering agricultural trade barriers and allowing the unrestricted flow of genetically modified foods. So, with the protestors outside disrupting Clinton's plan for a free trade love-fest, the delegates inside fell to squabbling among themselves and the talks collapsed.
The people's victory in Seattle has been like a huge shot of adrenaline for the global democracy movement. Planning meetings that formerly drew ten people now draw fifty. Demonstrations that previously took months to organize now come together in weeks. Almost before the tear gas had cleared in Seattle, the movement was abuzz with plans for massive demonstrations in other locations: the April 16--17 meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington; the Republican Party convention in Philadelphia; and the Democratic Party convention in Los Angeles.
The First Global Revolution
We can now envision the formation of a truly global movement capable of challenging the most powerful institutions on the planet. As you will see in the concluding section of this book, progressive organizations are drawing up plans for how we could run the global economy in a life-centered way rather than a money-centered way. The money paradigm that has ruled for so long is now losing public support. And the life paradigm, which emphasizes human rights and saving the environment, is gaining support. Transnational unity at the grassroots level is strengthening, while transnational unity at the elite level is fraying.
If we look closely we can see the pieces of the first global revolution being put together. Every revolution up until now has been a national revolution, aimed at seizing control of a national government. But the blatant corporate bias of global rule-making institutions such as the IMF, World Bank and WTO have forced the grassroots democracy movement to start planning a global revolution. It is a revolution in values as well as institutions. It seeks to replace the money values of the current system with the life values of a truly democratic system.
Just look at the various components of this global revolution, all of which are growing vigorously:
- The world's trade union movement is undergoing a double transformation. More and more unionists are realizing that organizing within a national context is no longer adequate for dealing with globe-spanning corporations, so unions must increase the amount and sophistication of cross-border solidarity. Trade unions are also expanding their traditionally narrow shop-floor approach, and are replacing it with what is often called social unionism or community-based unionism, which seeks out alliances with churches, NGOs, and other organizations in civil society. The victory in Seattle gave this trend a significant boost.
- The corporate accountability movement has developed great skill at pressuring corporations to change their objectionable policies, and now the movement is moving up to the next level: questioning the very right of these corporations to exist. People are learning that corporations exist because we, the sovereign citizens, charter them and give them a piece of our sovereignty. What can be given can be taken away, if enough citizens demand it. People are talking about organizing a campaign to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that says: "A corporation is not a human being."
- There is a diverse range of organizations working for a return-to-the-local in terms of citizen empowerment. These efforts span the political spectrum from left to right, yet they agree that as much decision-making as possible (political and economic) should take place at the local level, where people actually live. This is in sharp contrast to the agenda pushed by the likes of the WTO, IMF and World Bank.
- The traditional separation between environmental struggles and social justice struggles is being bridged by more and more groups. Activists are going beyond "end-of-pipeline" politics, whereby we react to the policies of elites by trying to soften their impact on people and nature. Instead we are saying let's go inside and change the machinery that is producing bad policy in the first place. It's like the difference between jumping in a river to save each drowning child, and going up-river to stop whoever is throwing the kids in the water in the first place.
What these various movements have in common is the goal of expanding the practice of democracy to include the economic realm. They harken back to the origins of the word democracy in the Greek roots 'demos' meaning people, and 'kratos' meaning rule. It took hundreds of years to achieve the separation of church and state, and now we are in the middle of a long struggle to achieve the separation of corporations and the state.
There will some day be a democratic global economy. The question is: will that take us 500 years or 50 years or 15 years to achieve?
This book is designed to be a tool in the struggle to democratize the global economy. It provides an analysis of what actually happened in Seattle, in stark contrast to the partial and distorted version presented in the corporate media. We also address many of the questions that now confront the movement: how do we bridge divisions of race, class, gender and nationality; how can we develop alternative institutions that can make rules for the global economy democratically; and how can we replace the dominance of money values with a system that venerates life in all its forms.
We conclude the book with resources and ways you can get involved in this historic movement. In the past, we book producers had a problem collecting enough resources to fill a "What To Do" section of a book like this. Now the problem is a better one: there are so many organizations working on these issues that we could fill an entire book with just organizational references. We have tried to provide references to key groups working on what we believe to be cutting edge issues in the struggle to democratize the global economy. We apologize to those of you we left out.

Samuel J. Glanzman is an American comic book artist, best known for his war comics. He started working in comics through packager Funnies Inc as early as 1939, and among the early publishers he contributed towere Centaur, Harvey Comics and Lev Gleason. During this period, he created the superhero 'Fly-Man' in 1941 and he was one of the artists for 'Green Hornet Comics'. His brother Louis was also active in the field of comic books.
As a sailor, he served on the U.S.S. Stevens during World War II. He didn't resume his comics activities after his discharge in 1946, but found employment in cabinet shops, lumber mills and boat yards and eventually at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale in Long Island, New York.
Human Meteor (1943)
Glanzman did his first post-war artwork for the Eastern Color series 'Heroic Comics' and 'New Heroic Comics' in 1950, before getting assignments for children's books illustrations. By 1958 he began a collaboration with Charlton Comics, where he drew stories for most of the company's war titles until 1961. These included 'Attack', 'Battlefield Action', 'Fightin' Air Force', 'Fightin' Marines' and 'War at Sea', among other titles.
From a comic story from 'Attack'.
He continued to work in the same genre for Dell Publishing in the early 1960s, contributing to titles like 'Combat'. He also drew the movie adapation of 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea', as well as a similar title called 'Voyage to the Deep', as well as the adventure serial 'Kona, Monarch of the Monster Isle'.
His 1960s Charlton work inlcude a comic book adapation of the 'Marco Polo' film in 1962 as well as 'Tarzan' stories. Together with Joe Gill, Glanzman created the detective 'Sarge Steel' and, most notably, the comic book series 'Hercules: Adventures of the Man-God' from 1967 to 1969. All the while, he continued to draw war stories and one of the most remarkable was 'The Loneley War of Willy Schultz', which he created with writer Will Franz and dealt with a conflicted hero and his battle between loyalties.
Weird War Tales
In 1969, Sam Glanzman began a memorable comic book series, 'U.S.S. Stevens', published in the various DC war titles like 'Our Army at War'. It was based on his experiences in World War II. This series, spanning at least 58 chapters between 1970 and 1977, is one of the great achievements in war comics. Each story is an exploration of one of the many facets of war. He also drew 'Haunted Tank' stories for 'G.I. Combat' until 1987 and also did contributions to some of DC's supernatural mystery titles.
Later in his career, Glanzman used his experiences with the U.S.S. Stevens for several short stories in Marvel's 'Savage Tales', titled 'Of War and Peace: Tales by MAS' (1986), while also drawing for Marvel's 'Semper Fi' comic book. Even more explicitly autobiographical work appeared in the two graphic novels 'A Sailor's Story (Marvel, 1987) and 'A Sailor's Story 2: Winds, Dreams and Dragons' (Marvel, 1989), and a 10-page story published by DC in 1992. Glanzman remained active until the mid 1990s, doing inking chores for DC's 'Jonah Hex', Acclaim's 'Turok Dinosaur Hunter' and Topps' 'Zorro'. His final published comic stories were his contributions to the anthologies 'Streetwise' (TwoMorrows Publishing, 2000) and '9-11: The World's Finest Comic Book Writers & Artists Tell Stories to Remember' (2002). After that, Glanzman focused on webcomics, creating the historical adventure series 'Apple Jack' and 'The Eagle', the latter in cooperation with Will Franz.

NHTSA — Seats Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.

Dear Jon: Salinas cashes in on cellular boom
New fire house addition puts thousands of dollars in the city coffers
Cities are starved for revenue these days and the wave of the future is public-private partnerships. Nora messaged me on Facebook at "JonKBrent KIONKCOY" and asked, "Dear Jon, what's that new addition to Salinas Fire Station Five all about? Our neighborhood is curious."
I spoke to Salinas Fire Chief, Edwin Rodriguez and it turns out what's under the new addition to Fire Station 5 at the intersection of Freedom Parkway and Rider Avenue is a cellular tower. With revenue scarce, technology booming and wireless companies seeking to improve coverage in certain areas these types of public-private partnerships are becoming the norm.
AT&T Wireless was seeking to improve cell coverage in northeast Salinas. So in partnership with the City of Salinas plans were drawn up to add the cell tower under a 10-foot addition to the fire house roof line at this location.
The chief says they went through all the proper permitting processes for approval and construction.
Like many other municipalities, this has become a moneymaker for Salinas. AT&T paid for all the construction costs and is leasing the space from the city for $3,000 a month.
What's better? They're hiding an unsightly tower from public view!

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum working to restore history
Lens from Point Conception lighthouse now in new home
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Inside the walls of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum there's a new source of light that will soon be on display.
The lens from the Point Conception lighthouse has made it's way down the coast and is in the middle of a major restoration project.
"This lighthouse lens was built in Paris in 1854, shipped around Cape Horn to San Francisco, then brought down and installed in the lighthouse that was built in 1854 at Point Conception," said museum executive director Greg Gorga.
Disassembled in 16 different section and nearly 1,000 pieces the 160-year-old lens is being buffed, scrapped and polished by five men called lampists.
The men do there work by hand and without a manual or guide. The tedious job will take about three weeks to complete and when done the two-story-high lens will be the centerpiece exhibit for the museum.
The museum is also trying to raise $500,000 to make sure the lens continues to shine. To donate or see the work being done by the lampists, visit the Maritime Museum at 113 Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93109.
