There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn't — look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

Galen - you mean those bogus polls you posted
on Scout where OBY got a bump? :laugh:
As 12th said:
Rasmussen does not even put NM in play - Obama comfortably. Some convenient states you left out:
FL: Romney +1
OH: Romney +2
IA: Romney +1
CO: toss-up at 45-45
A state that went Obama in 2008 has already been ceded back to the Repubs - IN.
12th forgot to mention that OH and Fla are the
biggest battleground states with 47 points
between them.
He also forgot to say Mitt is getting NC which went to the hamster.
Rasmussen, the most accurate poll as 12th said on scout and I've been saying here for years has Mitt up today.
So much for the bump.
"Too many folks still don't have a sense that tomorrow will be better than today. And so, the question in this election is which way do we go?" President Obama asked at a fundraiser in Chicago on Sunday.
"Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity is shared?" Obama asked. "Or do we go backward to the same policies that got us in the mess in the first place?"
"I believe we have to go forward," Obama said. "I believe we have to keep working to create an America where no matter who you are, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is, no matter who you love, you can make it here if you try. That's what's at stake in November. That's what is why I am running for a second term as president of the United States of America."
OBYs been speaking in socialistic/commie tones since day 1 and the country still voted him in and even the SC with our own guys in charge upheld O BUMMER CARE.
He's gonna win again. The liberals don't care if this is communism or not, so long as the liberal wins.
Obama's (and Warren's from whom he stole it) argument is weak and telling. And obviously he is not merely arguing we need to raise taxes (he has made that argument forever), this is something new and much more troubling.
He implies that his opponents are not only for small-government but rather no-government, which is obviously absurd and false.
He implies that any country with roads and a military and schools would produce the same level of success, when we can find examples (the Soviet Union, e.g.) that disprove this simplification.
He ignores every and all reasons (in the argument) why people are successful other than "because of the federal government" (see his creepy Life of Julia propaganda).
And most importantly, he implies that the wealthy are not already paying their fair share, as they are obviously already paying for the things he mentions. His argument could (and probably would) be given even if the top 10% of taxpayers paid 95% of the federal income taxes instead of the 70% that they pay now. If not, why not?
It is one thing to want to raise taxes on the nebulously defined "wealthy" and spend, spend, spend more on your constituents (this is the established, standard liberal dogma), but it is entirely another thing to try to diminish the accomplishments of the hard-working innovators and entrepreneurs who have made the country what it is. And to do it by insinuating that they selfishly believe that they had no help along the way, when nothing could be further from the truth (every major accomplishment almost always results in the accomplisher selflessly thanking a long list of people who helped them get to where they are), is poor form.
This is just part of a class warfare strategy that Obama is forced to employ due to having a dismal record of 'accomplishments' in his first term. He does not want to (cannot) talk about Stimulus disaster or Obamacare or job creation because in all areas the public has viewed them failures. He is left with limited options. And divide and conquer class/racial/ethnic/gender warfare is one. And sleazily smearing your opponent is another. This is textbook Alinsky "by any means necessary" politics. And it is working fairly well, all things considered.
He knows he won.
I don't understand how the President of a (or what is supposed to be) capitalistic economy wants to see prosperity "shared" amongst everyone?
Hahaha...doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of capitalism?
There have been a MASSIVE amount of folks doing the anti-Obama campaign/movement here in Arlington, VA the past couple of weeks. Every day I walk home from work and there are at least 2 or 3 groups on my walk home with picket signs saying "NO-Bama" and I can't tell you how many fliers I get posted on my car and the front door of my town house.
People - around here at least - are really gearing up to influence the fence-splitters. The funny thing is I talked to one of them and they can't stand Mitt Romney either, but they adamantly dislike Obama more. They'd probably vote for Ralph Nader over Obama if those were the only choices.
Claims of socialism, just think:
FDR gave Russia all of Eastern Europe w/o firing a shot.
OBY just gave Russia all of USA w/o
firing a shot.
Kruchev was right.

Safeties Antrel Rolle, Stevie Brown and Will Hill combined on defense to help the Giants to a big win
Perry Fewell always enjoys when he can roll out his three-safety look, and Sunday proved why.
In the 52-27 victory over the Saints, the defensive coordinator watched from the sidelines as Antrel Rolle, Stevie Brown and Will Hill combined for 22 tackles, four pass deflections, two interceptions, two forced fumbles (and an ensuing recovery), and one tackle for loss.
And all that was without Kenny Phillips, who was doubtful heading in and was eventually ruled out on game day with a knee injury.
Hill, playing in his fourth game after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, picked up that slack.
"The safety group that we have is playing lights out," Hill said. "Antrel came to us yesterday and was like, 'Yo, let the dog out, let the dog out.' He's a veteran in the locker room, and I'm grateful to be here and I owed him that to go out and play like that dog he was asking for."
The triumvirate set the tone two minutes into the game when Brown and Hill collided with Marques Colston, forcing the New Orleans wide receiver to fumble. After bouncing around on the turf in MetLife Stadium, Rolle jumped on the ball at the Saints 45-yard line.
Meanwhile, Hill received his biggest workload of the year. Part of that was due to the game plan, which matched him with the Saints' All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham.
"My role is to play safety, and when it came down to man-to-man coverage, it was to lock Jimmy Graham down," Hill said. "And that was my mindset, my goal, for him to not get anything. I was mad he had that one catch on me, but after that, we had him."
Hill added: "I played a lot this season in the beginning. For the safety position, this was the most I ever had for that though. I was playing nickel all year besides the preseason, but now I got moved to safety. It felt natural."

Lawmakers from New York and Idaho joined forces to get the dairy product in school lunchrooms.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
With its launch in 2005, Chobani spurred a Greek yogurt movement throughout the U.S. Since then, a number of other manufacturers have gotten in on the action as well. Today, Greek yogurt has become one of our fastest growing food industries, accounting for almost 30 percent or $1.956 billion dollars of the national yogurt market. The yogurt market in the U.S. is currently valued at slightly over $6 billion.
In a letter to Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture, last Thursday lawmakers urged USDA to consider reclassifying Greek yogurt under the MyPlate nutrition guidelines. The primary driver behind their request stems from the fact that Greek yogurt is not differentiated from regular yogurt on current dietary guidelines.
Specifically, the group of five congressional members want Greek yogurt separately recognized in the dairy category and added as a protein source. They noted:
"Greek yogurt is a nutrient dense food that provides an excellent source of protein and a good source of calcium per serving, making it an ideal option within the dairy and protein food groups. In fact, a standard serving of Greek yogurt has more protein than an equivalent portion of beans, yet it is not included in the list of protein sources in current USDA nutrition materials, nor is it recognized as a type of yogurt on the dairy page."
On a nutritional basis, Greek yogurt has almost double the protein of regular yogurt. Eight ounces of Greek yogurt contains, on average, 20 grams of protein, whereas regular yogurt provides around 11 to 13 grams. It also has fewer carbohydrates and half the sodium content of regular yogurt.
This contingent is also asking that the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs enable schools to appropriately account for Greek yogurt as an affordable protein option. In 2011, 31.8 million students got their lunch through the National School Lunch program. Both New York and Idaho are urging that a pilot program is authorized allowing schools participating in child nutrition programs to be credited for reimbursement for Greek yogurt on a basis that reflects the protein content of the dairy food.
Lawmakers signing the letter included Senators Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Mike Carpo (R-Idaho), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), and Representatives Richard Hanna (D-N.Y.) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho). The complete letter to Secretary Vilsack can be found here.

A Canadian short film called Attack of the Brain Sucker. A Kuwaiti screen adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. An American movie musical about teens who are zombiefied after drinking punch spiked with neon blue pipe-cleaning gel. These are just a few of the 63 films on the roster for the Flickers Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival, which screams, bleeds, and gurgles its way into theaters across the state October 25.
The festival — now in its lucky 13th year — is programmed partially as an answer to torture orgies like Hollywood's Saw and Hostel franchises, says director of programming Shawn Quirk. Classic horror is more about intrigue than intestines, he explains. "A perfect horror film really just exposes you to something that you're not sure about . . . it leads you to imagine why it's scary, which is why it's scary."
This isn't to say that the festival's menu is entirely bloodless. FRIIHFF attendees can still buy tickets — $10 for one, six-packs for $40 — for screenings of films like Eagle Walk, where a Sasquatch goes on a murderous rampage through a summer camp, or Plush, where a teddy bear filets a nighttime burglar in his owner's house.
Among other things, the festival is a showcase for two of Rhode Island's hungriest young filmmakers. For three months in the spring of 2011, Derek Dubois spent weekends in his mother's basement in Cumberland, building a mock-fallout shelter and filming menacing scenes for his 15-minute thriller, Fallout. In the film, two brothers slurp meals out of metal cans and tap out distress calls on a telegraph machine as ominous, unseen creatures rumble outside. Dubois — a 26-year-old financial analyst for CVS who moonlights as a film studies lecturer at his alma mater, Rhode Island College — proudly reports that the "no-budget" film uses mostly silent-era special effects. "Flicking lights? That's somebody playing with wires," he says. "Shaking walls? That's somebody pushing it from behind."
Another spokesman for the state's DIY screen-thrills scene is East Providence native Mike Frazier, 23. After watching his short, Todd Solondzian flick Trash Day — filmed on a $500 budget in Providence and East Providence, using a borrowed trash truck — you may never look at a baby bottle the same way again.
Though Frazier and Dubois have never met, they share the same urge to strum an audience's nerve strings like a harp.
"It's about getting a reaction out of people," Frazier says. "I like to fuck with people and I like to rattle people's cages, but I also like to make people feel things, whether I make them angry or I make them really happy."
"If the projectionist is doing his job and the sound is good and loud," Dubois says, "there is a particular moment towards the end [of Fallout] where everything's really kind of going to pot and the room's shaking and then it stops for a second. And then the characters look at each other and they go, 'Are we OK? What's going on?' "
Then, the sound returns louder than ever, he says. "And when it comes back, if you're sitting in the back row of a movie theater that happens to have 50, 60 people in it, and you can physically see them jump, it's the greatest thing in the world."
The Flickers Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival runs through Sunday, October 28. Head to film-festival.org/Horror_ri.php for details.

Victoria Justice Shows Off Stylish Looks For 'Annex' Magazine
The gorgeous gal is featured on the cover of 'Annex' magazine. She shows off a slew of different looks— everything from casual street style to glam get-ups. This chick certainly knows how to rock so many different looks.
19-year-old Victoria Justice looks super chic on the cover and inside the February 2013 issue of Annex. On the cover, she sported a stylish Iimuahii by Elena Slivnyak dress, along with a vintage headpiece. Her bright pink lip looked great with the rest of her lovely appearance!
To go along with her vintage-y style, she donned a House of Devalli dress that went down to her ankles. The tight-fitting piece accentuates her perfect hourglass figure. Her long, leather gloves and gold neckpieces were the perfect accessories. The orange Brian Lichtenberg 'Homies' visor was a bright pop of color and gave a casual touch.
Brian Lichtenberg seems to be getting a lot of recognition lately! In another shot of Victoria, she is rockin' a 'Homies' cropped top paired with faded ripped jeans to give her a street chic look. She even manages to look adorable in completely destroyed pants!
A totally fun ensemble of hers that we loved was the Ellery tank paired with the starry Pitusa leggings and Greyant shades. She couldn't have looked better in the entire getup, and she has the perfect tummy to show off in that top! Her tiny gloves an white and pink pumps matched perfectly. What a flirty look!
Those weren't her only printed pants! She also showed off patterned pants by Wish. She paired the pants with a Joyrich flowery numbered jersey– so many floral prints in one ensemble! She looked so great though. The slicked back, high bun in almost all of her getups looked great, and it gave her more of a mature look.
Did you love the photos in Victoria's Annex shoot as much as we did? Comment below and VOTE!

[quote user="flamethrower"][quote user="ShakeNBake"][quote user="flamethrower"]At the 3:50 moment of the 3rd quarter. Packers just kicked a Field goal. But, still trail by 7 points. If the NFL really wanted this conspiracy to happen why are they not up by 70+ points at this time??? 20-13 Giants.
Are you even watching the game? The bias the refs are showing towards GB is ridiculous. No wonder why you are not being taken seriously here, shouldn;t you get back to ****ing your mother out back in the mobile home?
[/quote] I only saw 2 calls that went the way you are claiming the whole game went.
And if that was the case. Would you kindly explain why the Giants are gonna leave Green Bay with a win? Not an excuse. Not a Conspiracy. Explain why, if the Packers are in cahoots with the refs are they trailing, and gonna lose by 17 points to the Giants. You Giants fans should be happy. You won. I am getting tired of being not a Giant fan. Defending the play of the Giants. Against supposed Giants fans who think that the whole wide world is against them. News flash. You WON. Be Happy.
[/quote]Obviously you just watched part of the game or you were busy looking inside the potato chips bag. How else you can explain all the NON Calls on the late hits on Eli? And then Bam! Osi hits Rodgers legally and gets a phantom "hit on the head" play! That resulted in keeping the drive alive and scoring 7.

It seems like eating up all or even most of our leftovers is such a battle for me. I know that's truly a 1st world problem if I ever saw one! I'm grateful I've never lacked the food and nutrition my body needs! Anyways…back to leftovers, when I do successfully come up with ways to use those about-to-be-too-bad-to-eat-foods, it really excites me!
- We cooked our turkey late, and have been chowing down on turkey sandwiches and tomorrow some of the turkey will become turkey quesadillas. I also made some broth with the turkey bones and some veggie scraps.
- Some wrinkling bell peppers didn't look appetizing to eat raw, but tasted fine as stuffed bell peppers and in pizza sauce.
- We had defrosted some black beans to use for chili, but didn't use them all, so I threw them into burritos (which reminds me I still have some kidney beans I need to hurry and use up).
- Some wilting spinach tasted just fine steamed, drained well and then baked in a quiche.
- I made some banana bread to use up out-dated yogurt, some buttermilk and browning bananas.
- I also made some buttermilk ranch dressing at the suggestion of a facebook follower.
- Cameron used our blender to turn pretzels into crumbs and I then used them to coat chicken for chicken fingers.
- And lastly I used a little bit of leftover chocolate milk in some coffee to make a mocha!
Have you used up some leftovers in a creative way?

Owners and engineers faced with rehabilitating corroded concrete surfaces in their water or wastewater treatment facility generally focus on selecting a coating that offers long-term protection. Although manufacturers continue to develop coatings that can withstand highly corrosive environments, proper preparation and restoration of the concrete surface often is overlooked. Knowing a few important aspects of concrete restoration and integrating them into the construction process will help ensure long-term coating performance and substrate protection.
The first step in refurbishing degraded concrete is decontaminating the surface to remove areas imbued with acids, salts, treatment chemicals, wastewater scum, or other substances that may interfere with the coating. The surface then should be blasted to remove any weakened concrete. The most effective way to meet both requirements is to blast the surface using high-pressure water cleaning (>5000 psi).
Alternately, mechanical abrasive blasting using media such as metallic slags or silica sand can be used. However, this method of preparation should be preceded by properly decontaminating the surface by first neutralizing and then removing the material using high-pressure water cleaning.
The second step is determining what type of resurfacing material best suits the project's requirements in terms of substrate rehabilitation, curing/hydration requirements, and budget constraints. By providing a contiguous surface for the protective coating topcoat, resurfacing materials are critical in restoring concrete substrate. This, in turn, enables a protective coating to be applied in a pinhole-free, monolithic manner.
The most common and least expensive resurfacing product is hydraulic portland cement. Its curing process requires water within the mortar mixture to remain in contact with the cement particles for proper hydration. The surface must be kept wet by either constant "misting" or applying a curing compound designed to form a membrane on the surface. Either method must be employed for a minimum of seven days to prevent moisture within the concrete from escaping before it properly hydrolyzes with the cement. A minimum thickness of ½ inch generally is required for the portland cement matrix to properly form a cohesive structure. Once fully cured and before any coatings are applied, the topmost layer of the resurfacer must be removed. This is accomplished by mechanical surface preparation, such as abrasive blast cleaning.
The top outer layer of the mortar is removed for two reasons. First, any membrane curing compound left on the surface can interfere with coating adhesion. Second, the weak layer of fine cement particles found at the surface of concrete, called "laitance," must be removed to expose sound substrate. Laitance forms from the troweling of a cementitious resurfacer and working the fine particles to the surface. Additionally, these fine materials are carried to the surface with "bleed water," the excess water that exudes to the surface immediately following placement. This layer does not have the same physical strength and must be removed to prevent a "weak link" in the coating system when topcoated with a high-performance coating.
Hydraulic calcium-aluminate-based cementitious resurfacers cure faster and resist mildly acidic environments better than traditional portland-based products and cure faster. Depending on the mix design, most calcium-aluminate-based products require a minimum of 24 to 48 hours of wet or membrane cure to sustain the rate and degree of hydration necessary to achieve optimum physical strength. This faster cure time basically results from the calcium-aluminate cement's smaller particle size, enabling quicker hydrolization with water. Laitance still forms at the surface of this type of material, so it must be removed with any curing compounds prior to coating application.
Another way to facilitate better hydrolization and decrease cure times is to incorporate acrylic polymers into the cement formulation. These types of products work by enveloping water molecules with acrylic resin that slows evaporation, keeping them in proximity to the cement particles. These products modified with acrylic polymer require only 48 to 72 hours of wet or membrane cure.

Reviews of this property
When you come to Porto, there is only one adress: the top floor studio and terrace of Raul, who offers you the perfect hospitality. Everything is there to feel you totally at home, and you are situated in the centre of the old city.Thanks!
This studio/apartment is highly recommended. Located in the centre of town it is the ideal starting point to discover the wonderful city of Porto. The apartment is nicely furnished, very well maintaned and has all conveniences. As a bonus it has a splendid rooftop terrace with stunning views. Raul is the ideal host, helpful, hospitable and very friendly. We had a great time here.
Raul's apartment is ideally situated for a short stay in the beautiful city of Porto. It is about 10 minutes from the train station and well positioned to explore the city sights. It has a café and restaurant either side of the front door. The apartment itself is very well equipped and is bright and comfortable. The roof terrace is fantastic and has wonderful views over the city as far as the sea. Raul was friendly and welcoming and speaks excellent English and met us and explained how to use everything in the apartment. It was very hot whilst we were there and we had to use the fan a lot of the time. The apartment is situated at the top of the building and involves a climb up a (lovely old wooden) staircase. I would certainly recommend Raul's place. It is an excellent base from which one can explore the city.
Beautiful apartment. Conveniently located. You can do everything on foot. It has everything needed in the apartment: tumble dryer, washing machine and dishwasher, kettle, coffee maker, refrigerator. Raoul, super friendly and beautiful boy has everything: even soap, oil, vinegar, salt and coffee pods !!! Top awesome! Sumptuous terrace with a splendid view of the Douro. If it had not been those pesky seagulls shouting with all their strength on the opposite roof from 4-5 hours in the morning, our stay would have been idyllic for the apartment does not face the street and even up stairs at third floor are not so hard. A very big thank you to Raoul. You are advised to dinner at Vinas alhos harbor and if you have a little under a dream dinner at Yeatman on the other side of the river with a breathtaking view across Porto. Otherwise just do an aperitif. Happy holidays and thank you Raoul! Gilda and Christmas
Magnifique appartement. Idéalement situé. On peut tout faire à pied. Il y a tout le nécessaire dans l'appart : séchoir, lave-linge et lave-vaisselle, bouilloire, cafetière, frigo. Raoul, super sympa et beau garçon a tout prévu : même le savon, l'huile, le vinaigre, le sel et des dosettes de café !!! Top génial ! Somptueuse terrasse avec une vue splendide sur le Douro. Si ce n'avait pas été ces satanées mouettes qui crient de toutes leurs forces sur le toit d'en face dès 4-5h du matin, notre séjour aurait été idyllique car l'appart ne donne pas sur la rue et même les escaliers jusqu'au troisième étage ne sont pas si durs. Un très grand merci à Raoul. On vous conseille un dîner au Vinas d'alhos sur le port et si vous avez un peu de sous un dîner de rêve au Yeatman de l'autre côté du fleuve avec une vue à couper le souffle sur tout Porto. Sinon faites juste un apéro. Bonnes vacances et encore merci Raoul ! Gilda et Noël
A warm welcome from Raul, beers in the fridge! apartment very well located in the historic center of Porto, beautifully decorated and well equipped and best of all, the terrace overlooking the Douro.

Let me just say we were stunned how extraordinary and great this apartment was! Raul and his brother helped us out alot with information and his brother showed us all the thoughtful little extras included in this beautiful apartment. We had a great time there and will defenity book it again when we are in Porto! Thanks alot to the both of you, you have a really pittoresque place there!
The apartment has thoroughly enjoyed it! Unfortunately the weather was not so good that we could enjoy the beautiful roof terrace often. We were surprised at how quickly you are at all places of the old town. In addition, there are next to the house entrance to the apartment on the left and right sides, a café, at right you can also buy bread.
Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Leider war das Wetter nicht so gut, als dass wir die schöne Dachterasse oft genießen konnten. Wir haben uns gewundert, wie schnell man an allen möglichen Orten der Altstadt ist. Zudem liegen neben dem Hauseingang zur Wohnung links und rechts je ein Café, im rechten kann man auch Brötchen kaufen.

Dear Oliver
Unfortunately I couldn't get all the ingredients of this delicious recipe and I'd love to try it.
Here in Brazil we've never heard about picalilly AND AS YOU POINTED OUT, it's delicious with turkey leftovers.
I've just bought your book "THE NAKED CHEF" but I couldn't find your recipe of PICALILLY there. Did I spell it correctly?
Can you , please, help me ? Is it possible to send me this incredible recipe of yours ?
My two daughters and I never miss your shows on tv and we'd like to thank you for teaching us how to cook properly.
Thanks a lot , maria alice.

Man wanted in stabbing of his son
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Police are looking for an Idaho Falls man they said stabbed his son late Tuesday night.
Bonneville County Sheriff's office said they are looking for Ron Myers, 48.
According to a news release, Myers was staying in an apartment above a horse arena on 97 South. His son and daughter-in-law were visiting with him.
Myers got a phone call, they said and became upset. At one point he pointed a gun at his daughter-in-law. His son, of Blackfoot, stepped in between them and was stabbed in the left arm with a knife.
Police were called about 11:15 p.m.
Deputies said they searched the area and couldn't find Myers.
Neighbors said they are shocked. Ray Hollist has lived across the street for years and said he didn't see this coming.
"We're just shocked. You know, we weren't expecting anything like this to happen here. You'd see him (Ron Myers) riding his motorcycle up and down the roads, but he was mostly to himself," said Hollist.
Myers is described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs about 175 pounds, has brown hair and eyes.
His son was taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center to be treated.
If you have any information on Myers' whereabouts, you are asked to call the sheriff's office at (208) 529-1200 or Crime Stoppers at 529-1983. You can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward.

a JAPANESE martial artist who fell into a cursed Jusenkyo spring in CHINA on a TRAINING MISSION. now he changes into a girl when splashed with cold water. he is the star of a kikass manga. the guy who says he is chinese needs to actually read one of the comic books before posting a definition
not to be confused with ramen, ranma is jolly good!
Noodles from China. Sold in six packs, or individually for about $.17 at most grocery stores. Come in a variety of flavors, but all manage to taste the same. I prefer chicken myself, microwaved for approx 3 mins. so that the noodles aren't completely done, just halfway! Sometimes I cook them in a big pot and add alot of salt, pepper, and extra flavor packs, which I raid from my room mates supply! YUM!!!

[Article]-Jabber Takes a Swing at RichM
Last month I explained that I wanted to reduce my organization's dependence on AIM due to its lack of security and the fact that we cannot control what takes places on their servers. I also mentioned that I was fairly new to jabber, and, due to lack of experience, I was hoping for a hand or two to help sort out the install/config process. While I did receive many alternative recommendations, sadly I didn't get a single volunteer willing to help shoulder the responsibility of bringing any easy to follow tutorial (aimed at the uninitiated) to the EH masses. Determined to make it happen, I soldiered on. Sadly I have fallen short, I am approximately 70% done but have hit some fun snags which are listed below. Hopefully I can enlist the help of the EH-Net faithful for a little help.

Concert pianists could be model organisms for studying the physiological basis of intellectual greatness
Charles T. Ambrose
An old question: What accounts for highly intelligent and greatly gifted individuals? Three centuries ago, phrenologists thought that geniuses could be distinguished from criminals by the shapeliness and bumpiness of their skulls. When Charles Darwin's head was considered by a German psychological society, one member declared that Darwin "had the bump of reverence developed enough for ten priests." In 19th-century Europe and America, a number of distinguished academics bequeathed their brains for anatomical study—Gauss, Broca, Gall, Pavlov, Osler and others. Some probably sought to leave behind posthumous confirmation of their own genius. Originally, the anatomists compared gross weight and volume of brains and made what they could of the various lobes and surface convolutions. With the advent of microscopic anatomy, they were able to look for histological differences, yet by 1928 researchers were concluding that nothing in these early studies provided "a basis from which mental abilities [might] be inferred." However, neurophysiologists of that era were beginning to identify specific areas of the brain responsible for general motor function and sensory activity. In recent decades, neurohistologists have developed cytoarchitectonics, enabling them to count neurons and support cells—oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and glial cells—in different areas of the brain. And during the past decade, brain imaging with positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has allowed noninvasive localization of various functions and responses. Even with these new tools the essential question—whence talent?—remains an enigma.
The most revered modern genius was Albert Einstein, who died at age 76 in 1955 at Princeton. His brain had a circuitous fate; for several years it rested in a jar of formaldehyde in a Kansas closet, was later carried to Berkeley and is now preserved in Hamilton, Ontario. At McMaster University, Einstein's brain was compared with brains of an age-matched male group. It was within normal limits except for the parietal lobes, which were 1 centimeter (15 percent) wider than that of the control group. This region of the brain is responsible for visual-spatial cognition and mathematical thinking, and according to Sandra F. Witelson, presumably achieved its distinctive form early in Einstein's life, based on the understanding at that time of cerebral development. Each of Einstein's posterior parietal lobes consisted of one distinct compartment instead of the usual two separated by the Sylvian fissure. Earlier, at the University of California, Berkeley, Marian Diamond and coworkers had reported that the isocortex (the outer six layers of gray matter) of Einstein's left parietal lobe (Brodmann area 9) contained 77 percent more glial cells per neuron than brains of 11 normal males aged 47 to 80. This ratio "suggests a response by glial cells to greater neuronal metabolic need … [and] might reflect the enhanced use of this tissue in the expression of his unusual conceptual powers."
Ranking surely with mathematical geniuses in intellectual stature are people with acute musical ability, such as eminent composers, conductors and concert performers. For great pianists, several functions are involved: hearing/perception/appreciation, memory and performance. Hearing involves the primary auditory cortex, which is confined largely to the anteriomedial region of Heschl's gyrus (anterior transverse gyrus of the temporal lobe). A study published in Nature Neuroscience in 2002 reported that this gyrus is 2.3 times as large and twice as active in the brains of professional musicians as in nonmusicians, suggesting plasticity in human brains expressed under conditions of intense musical training. The histologic nature of that increase has not yet been studied.
In the mid-19th century, Jean Pierre Flourens (1794–1867) maintained that cognitive functions are the integrated activity of the entire brain. And recently, Nobel laureate Eric Kandel and psychiatrist Larry Squire reiterated the point that "Memory is not a unitary faculty of the mind but is composed of multiple systems that have different logic and neuroanatomy." For example, memory involves two systems: short- and long-term memory, which are located in different regions of the brain. Long-term memory consists of two types: explicit/declarative/conscious recall of facts and events, and implicit/nondeclarative/unconscious recall of motor skills, habits and so on. Both types have been localized by various authors in the isocortex of the "upstream" brain regions—specifically, in the frontal and parietal cortices and medial temporal lobes. Complicating the study of memory storage is the assumption that remembering "what" and "how to" are different matters that may be centered in different regions of the neocortex. At present it is unknown to what degree the association areas for specific memories are circumscribed. For example, we don't know whether the remembered experience and knowledge of a Chopin étude resides in the same region of the cortex as a Bach prelude.
Concert pianists not only memorize massive amounts of music, they also engage complex motor skills, as both hands play different notes and chords, often at high speed and with different tempos and rhythms, while their feet work the piano's pedals. It is reasonable to suppose that certain areas of the motor cortex of concert pianists are very highly developed.
The localization of motor function began when Flourens's French countryman, Marc Dax (1771–1837), reported aphasia in right-handed patients suffering a stroke with right hemiplegia—that is, disability due to some left hemisphere injury. Several decades later this observation was corroborated by Paul Broca (1824–1880), and the motor speech area in the left cerebral hemisphere was eponymized as Broca's area (left inferior frontal gyrus). The localization in the brain of sensory and motor functions engaged early neurophysiologists, but of late they have focused more on localization of memory. Compared with memory and hearing (meaning the entire complex response to auditory stimulation), motor functions may be more localized and possibly easier to investigate. They have been mapped out in discrete projection areas on the cerebral hemisphere's surface, as depicted by the famous motor homunculus devised by the neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield (see figure at right).
The process by which fine motor skills are honed may have parallels with how memory storage is increased, hence the preceding digression. The mechanisms proposed for enhanced memory have centered on one of two alternative explanations: existing synapses may change as a result of changes in local gene expression, yielding new proteins and possibly increasing the number of vesicles near the presynaptic membrane, and/or new synapses may be generated (synaptogenesis). In memory studies little attention has thus far been given to a third possibility: neurogenesis. In key motor areas, increased synapses and increased synaptic efficiency may account in part for piano virtuosity, but I suggest that neurogenesis should also be considered.

Howdy all. I am thinking of planting some Rape seed this Fall for my bees to munch on next spring. I understand it is a good source from which bees make excellent honey.
I don't know very much about the varieties of rape seed. I see they have at least two varieties. One is for forage and the other for oil production. Which would be the best for the bees?. I live in Indiana, and I assume planting in the Fall would be the right time to plant. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Jerry

I have a decent sized garden and there's an urban farm and several community gardens in a few blocks of my house, but I'm pretty sure I saw one of my girls at Home Depot garden center today. I'm not sure if amused is the right reaction...but I bought the meadow sage that she was hanging out on and brought it home. I guess in times of dearth, I have a bit of a security blanket. Not much else I can do about it.

Happy Comic Release Day! Welcome to the first installment of GeekMom Comic Book Corner in 2013! This week, we look back at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Mara #1 where we recap our adventures in comics for the week.
Dakster Sullivan — My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #2
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is one of the few comic books I read that I can share with my seven-year old son. This is the first series he's reading that has cliff hangers at the end and it's taken him a little getting used to.
This issue follows our favorite ponies as they continue their adventure to rescue their friends. The younger ponies are driving Queen Chrysalis crazy and she is just as excited to get rid of them as the Mane Six is to rescue them. They find their way into a cave and, while making their way through, run into a troll who has a love for ponies. After winning over the troll, the ponies face another enemy that threatens to tear them apart and set them on their own individual journeys to find their young friends.

PTC's Weatherization Training Center has been awarded accreditation by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) to offer four new credentials that are becoming the standard for the green economy workforce.
The Department of Energy has been working with private sector partners and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to promote the Home Energy Professional (HEP) set of credentials, which includes Retrofit Installer, Crew Leader, Energy Auditor and Quality Assurance Inspector.
Unlike previously available certifications, these credentials will require industry experience as well as the satisfactory scores on exams.
"The WTC is proud to say that we are one of only a handful of training centers in the country to receive accreditation awards for all four training programs," said Roger Smith, director of the Weatherization Training Center.
Both of the center's trainers - Adrian Correa and Brannon Runions - have been approved as proctors to administer the written and field exams for these credentials. Runions also recently passed the training requirements to perform multifamily audits, which are energy audits on multifamily low-rise buildings.
Significant energy savings are possible in these buildings, and Brannon's success will lead to his being able to administer trainings and proctor the exams for others in Arkansas' workforce.

Rutgers Downs UTEP, 56-54, In WNIT Championship Contest
April 5, 2014
Final Stats | Photo Gallery by Michael Patrick Reese | Photo gallery by Ivan Pierre Aguirre
EL PASO, TEXAS- UTEP battled back from 18 points down only to have Tyler Scaife convert a coast-to-coast lay-up with two seconds left to lift visiting Rutgers to a 56-54 win in the WNIT Championship contest at a sold-out Don Haskins Center Saturday afternoon.
The Scarlet Knights (28-9) led 34-16 with 18:41 to play in the game but the Miners (29-8) were not done. Spurred on by the second straight capacity crowd, UTEP began to work away at the deficit. It blitzed the visitors with a 34-14 run to pull ahead at 50-48 with 5:05 left.
Rutgers, though, responded with six straight points to go back up by four with a minute to play. After a missed free throw by Rachel Hollivay, Kristine Vitola, who led UTEP with 16 points, was fouled while securing the rebound. She calmly sank both to trim the deficit to a pair. Scaif then misfired on the front end of a one-in-one with 15 seconds to play and UTEP raced up the court.
Jenzel Nash's lay-up try rimmed out but Chrishauna Parker, who finished with seven points and 11 rebounds, cleaned it up with a put-back to forge the game's fourth and final tie.
Rutgers struggled to get the ball in-bounds before finding Scaife who sliced through the defense and kissed the lay-up off the glass with two seconds to play. UTEP's long pass into space was intercepted, and Rutgers escaped El Paso with the 2014 WNIT title.
Scaife and Kahleah Copper each tallied 18 points to lead Rutgers.
The Miners finished at 25.9 percent (14-of-54) from the floor-compared to 24-of-59 (40.7 percent) by Rutgers but gave themselves a chance by controlling the glass (47-36) and nailing 22-of-30 free-throw tosses. Nash joined Vitola in double figures with 11 points while senior Kayla Thornton pitched in eight points and nine rebounds.
UTEP concludes the record-setting 2013-14 campaign at 29-8. The Miners equaled the school and league record for wins (29) while setting program standards for assists (542), double-digit wins (21), field-goals (955) and attempts (2353), free throws (697) and attempts (964), games (37), home games (25), home wins (22), offensive rebounds (577), points (2825), points per game (76.4), rebounds (1606), steals (355), three pointers (218) and attempts (697).
The setback also concludes the careers of UTEP's three seniors. Thornton and Willingham aided the Orange and Blue to a 96-36 record over their four years (2010-14) while Kristine Vitola's efforts resulted in 93-42 mark during her time in the Sun City.
Thornton, a 2014 Honorable-Mention Associated Press All-America, departs as the program career record holder for double-doubles (40), field goals (600) & attempts (1,387), free throws (390) & attempts (530), points (1,679) & rebounds (1032). She was a three-time All C-USA pick while also earning back-to-back All-Defensive Team selections.
Vitola, who already completed her undergraduate degree, departs having the career record for games played (134) while also becoming the third Miner in program history to boast 900+ points (941), 600+ boards (617) and 100+ blocks (190)
Willingham wraps up her run in the Sun City holding school standards for starts (117) and three-pointers made (215). She also joined former Miner great Jareica Hughes as the long players in the 40-year history of the program to boast 1,000+ points (1,073) and 300+ assists (373)
The Miners enjoyed a magical run in the tournament, which would not have been possible without the support of the UTEP administration and the city of El Paso. The Orange and Blue played all six contests in the Sun City, drawing a total of 52,108 fans. Buoying that number were capacity crowds in both the semifinal and final. UTEP also attracted then school record crowds against Colorado (8,234) and Washington (10,227)
In the first five rounds on the even the fan base seemingly willed the home side to victory, and another magical victory appeared to be in the cards. Scaife had other intentions but her heroic efforts can't take away the memories of the past three weeks.

For Rhode Island progressives, the new year arrived with an air of anticipation.
Gordon Fox, the openly gay, left-leaning Providence Democrat, was firmly ensconced in the Speaker of the House's office.
And newly elected Governor Lincoln Chafee, delivering his inaugural address on a crisp January afternoon, called on the General Assembly to live up to Roger Williams's centuries-old call for a "civil state" and pass a same-sex marriage bill posthaste.
But 12 months later, as the weather turns chilly again, progressives are looking back not on a year of triumph, but on a string of bitter defeats.
The gay marriage fight ended in deep disappointment, with passage of a civil unions law that pleased no one. The General Assembly was the only Democratic-dominated state legislature in the nation to pass a voter ID law, which critics fear will disenfranchise poor, minority, and elderly voters who might not have the identification now required to cast a ballot.
Chafee, once viewed by medical marijuana advocates as a strong ally, blocked plans for three dispensaries in the face of a threatened federal crackdown. And organized labor, long a mighty force in Rhode Island politics, watched helplessly as the General Assembly passed the toughest pension reform law in the country.
Our deep blue state is suddenly looking red. And progressives, still a bit stunned, are left with two pressing questions:
What happened? And where to go from here?
Part of the problem, in retrospect, was one of expectations.
Chafee relied heavily on liberals, Latinos, and labor unions to secure a narrow victory in a four-way gubernatorial race. And most observers, left and right, believed he would deliver for his base in his first year in office.
But Chafee vowed to go his own way. And there was plenty in his principled — and at times mercurial — political career to suggest he would do just that.
As a Republican US Senator, he frequently clashed with the Bush Administration. And more recently he had launched his independent gubernatorial campaign [http://providence.thephoenix.com/news/110038-in-chafee-we-trust/] not with the usual platitudes about a brighter future, but with a pledge to expand the state sales tax.
So, while liberals were pleased with his first official act in office — repealing former Governor Donald Carcieri's controversial illegal immigration order — their views soon dimmed.
"The first two hours were great," quips Bob Walsh, executive director of the National Education Association — Rhode Island teachers union, which backed Chafee's gubernatorial campaign. "It was all downhill from there."
Walsh and other union officials felt most betrayed by Chafee's support for the pension bill, which was far more sweeping than the reform he embraced during the campaign.
But progressives have also voiced disappointment in the governor's efforts on same-sex marriage — complaining that he failed to use the bully pulpit after the inaugural address and was ineffective in his behind-the-scenes push to win over legislators.
The inevitable comparison was to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose relentless pursuit of marriage equality paid off with a bill in June. But if advocates expected that sort of aggressiveness from the mild-mannered Chafee, they had a poor understanding of the governor's style.

It's a controversy that rages even while people suffer — people like Mainer Hazel Alderson, or the subjects in Under Our Skin, a documentary that will screen at SPACE Gallery this week. These are people who suffer from what they call chronic Lyme disease — but what others have diagnosed as everything from simple "post-Lyme disorder" (lingering symptoms without a persistent bacterial infection), to multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. In some cases, patients are told they have some type of psychological or psychosomatic illness.
"Sometimes...people are fine until they start reading the Internet," says Gary Wormser, a Lyme expert and a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). That organization is vilified by chronic Lyme patients and in Under Our Skin because it suggests, in a set of medical guidelines issued in 2006, that long-term antibiotic treatment — on which many chronic Lyme sufferers depend to make them feel at least somewhat healthy — is unsafe and not advisable. The IDSA also questions the very existence of the disease these people claim to have. "It's true that many times we're dealing with patients for whom we don't really have the answers, but just because that's the case doesn't mean they have Lyme disease."
The answers are hard to come by, due to a dearth of research dollars and a tendency for researchers to hoard their findings. And the situation will only get worse. Passionate advocates on both sides of this controversy have likened it to the one that raged over the AIDS epidemic during the 1980s.
Lyme disease is the fastest-growing, and most-reported, vector-borne disease (meaning it's transmitted through a third party) in the country. In 2006, 19,931 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the federal Centers for Disease Control in 2006, more than double the annual rate in 1991, when the CDC first started tracking Lyme. Of those cases, 338 of them were in Maine. This year, there will certainly be more: "as many as seven in 10" deer ticks in a swath of Maine stretching from Kittery to Brunswick could carry the disease this fall, according to Charles Lubelczyk, a field biologist at Maine Medical Center's Vector Borne Disease Laboratory.
The "lucky" majority of those who contract Lyme disease, named after the Connecticut town of its discovery, will catch it early. The burrowing bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi (similar in corkscrew shape and behavior to the bacteria that carry syphilis) will screw their ways into those people's bodies, produce the trademark fever, joint pain, and "bull's-eye" rash that are associated with Lyme; they will go to the doctor, get a prescription for approximately 14 days of antibiotics, and put the experience behind them.

OSCP Some resources I have found useful
I thought I would put up a couple of links to stuff that has helped me gain a greater understanding of this frustrating / fascinating business.
First a whole raft of video tutorials (not the usual rubbish) including tuts on NMAP, Netcat, Wireshark, Socket Programming and Encryption.
Lots of security tutorials here. The site is not in English but a lot of the info is written in English and is generally available in .PDF format.
And here are some good fuzzing resources.
I hope someone finds this useful and that anyone else with good resources will post them up here.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The best "thing" my husband ever gave me was my rv. He picked it out all by himself, bought it, and took me out to see it that afternoon. It was a huge surprise! And it is perfect. HE WAS LISTENING ALL THOSE YEARS!!!!! We absolutely love it and use it every way we can think of: long trips, short trips, weekends at the beach, a place to dream about future trips, a place to join our friends for a weekend, guy fishing trips with me along as cook (I like to cook and our rv has a nice kitchen and lots of storage.) We were in Front Royal VA when my appendix ruptured. After I got out of the hospital and before I could travel, (wonderful care!!!!), the rv was a rehab unit.
The appendix experience emphasized both of us being able to drive and otherwise handle all facets of the rv. I can drive it - pulling a car!
We have a 30 foot Class C with a king sized bed over the cab, a queen sized bed in the bedroom, a child sized bed (folding sofa)' and the dinette makes into another bed. And a for-real bathroom. Oh, and a no-kidding hall in which the cat litter pan fits quite nicely. (2 cats who like the rv as well as we do.)
Our daughter is looking for land for a small farm and assures us that when we get beyond wanting to have a brick and sticks house she will have electricity, water and a septic tank for our rv and us.
This sort of present and future just may turn out exceedingly well! Consider if you might really like it too.
My husband and I have been Rving since 2006. We love it. Have seen many beautiful places and each area of the US and Canada are beautiful in their own ways. You sleep in your own bed each night and don't have to worry about bed bugs. We have a 39 ft. motorhome and tow our car. Had a tow dolly at first and that was a nightmare. Tow a car on all fours. It is easier. Don't drive into a campground at night. You can't see well and it can be a nightmare. Most campgrounds can accomodate large rvs. Join Good Sam's or Passport America and they send out books that list campgrounds and describe each and what they accommodate. My motorhome has 4 slides and is very roomy. I also carry my sewing machine and projects to work on at night or when we are not sight seeing. It's not for everyone so weigh your options before you buy.
We have a 32 foot travel trailer and love it. We no longer have to worry about the bed actually being completely clean in a hotel anymore..... or did the house keeper take short cuts cleaning. We can cook our own food if we want, stock beverages etc... never have to worry about finding a potty for a break... lol
OK, I am an expert on RV's, Fifth Wheels, Trailers, etc. Have bought so many I have the knowledge to sell them ! We just bought a Fifth Wheel last Saturday and will be selling our trailer this next week. I will tell you right now that the most important thing is having a slide in the living room. It adds so much space and you really do need it. The second thing is if you are going to pull a car behind you: that makes it extra longer and that might be a problem. I have so much information, maybe you might want me to email it to you ? We have camped in Canada, 49 of the states many times, usually camp for 4-5 months a year. We have relatives in Toronto who come down to Florida each year in their camper. I love having my own bed/sheets, cooking my food, seeing the countryside.
If he's mechanically inclined and maintains his vehicles like my DH does, go for it. I would love if we could do that. Don't miss this time with him. This is an opportunity knocking at your door. Lock the house up and go. Have fun!
We have a 32 ft. 5th wheel......I pull it and set it up and tear it down as needed. I host in a state park and I have my quilting and other crafts I'm working on (Christmas stockings and sashay scarves) as well as 2 sewing machines, cutting mats, etc. I can find lots of room to "tuck" my stuff away. We don't travel all over the country.......just fairly close to our home - as in 2-5 hours. If you aren't totally sure, maybe you should rent again. AND if you do decide to buy.......be sure to walk thru with an idea in mind of where you will put what. RV's are SO different in the amount of storage they have. Good Luck.
Tough times don't last, tough people do.

Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on Monaco
Strasbourg, 08.02.2011 – The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published its second report on Monaco. ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks said that although there have been improvements, additional action is needed such as the consolidation of the legislative framework in the field of protection against discrimination.
A new law adopted in 2008 guarantees freedom of association without differentiating between citizens and non-citizens. Legislative reform is planned to address existing shortcomings in the transmission of nationality. A draft law on employment contracts and public service is under discussion and is expected to protect non-Monegasque workers more effectively. The Commission for monitoring personal information has been functioning since 2009 as an independent administrative authority.
At the same time, no guarantees against racial discrimination (*) have been introduced in the area of civil and administrative law; no follow-up has been given with regard to the ECRI's recommendation to introduce a specific provision in criminal law that would make the racist motivation of an ordinary offence an aggravating circumstance; there is no legal obligation to provide reasons for decisions relating to nationality and settlement in Monaco.
Some institutions do not enjoy the necessary independence: the Ombudsman is under the direct authority of the Minister of State; and the General Inspectorate of Police works under the instructions of the Directorate General of Public Safety.
In its report, ECRI makes a number of recommendations, among which the following three will be revisited in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available here [report on Monaco]. It was prepared following ECRI's contact visit to Monaco in April 2010 [Press Release – 13.04.2010] and takes account of developments up to June 2010.
ECRI is an independent human rights body of the Council of Europe, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.
For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri

I would like to scallop a table runner that I'm making but have never done that before. Can anyone tell me the math for doing this or suggest a tool. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I would like to scallop a table runner that I'm making but have never done that before. Can anyone tell me the math for doing this or suggest a tool. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Schenectady, NY
there is a scallop ruler, that makes different size scallops and comes with directions
I haven't done one but the books I've read said to use a dinner plate. I bet it'll look great when you are through!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
I divide it into equal sections for as many scallops as i want. then i find the right sized plate to make the scallops as deep as i like the look of.
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
eleanor burns makes a scallop ruler. You can see it on her website
I have a scallop ruler but the dinner plate method works too. I've done it both ways.
Fat Quarters have fewer calories than a Hot Fudge Sundae!
If it isn't too big a project I make a paper pattern. I tape pages out of an old phone book together until they are the same length that I want to scallop. I then fold the paper in half, then quarter and then eighths depending on how big I want the scallops. I then unfold the paper and find a round object to trace that fits into the creased sections. If it works out perfectly then I use the paper pattern on my fabric. I find it easier to draw on the scallops to the finished tablerunner and sew the binding on before cutting the scallops. This way it gives you time and fabric to adjust if needed. I am sure others will have their own ideas. I have a scallop ruler on order myself to make this job easier.
Thanks for the information. I want to make a quilt with a scalloped edge. I will practice on something small using a saucer before I invest in a ruler.
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
Thank you all, very helpful. I'm definitely going to try to work it out on paper on the finished table runner before I cut

Australia Native Bee Sculpture at the UK Chelsea Flower Show
May 20, 2013
Joanne Diver from Corowa NSW was invited to be part of the Australian Garden at the London Chelsea Flower Show. Here is a photo of her Native Bee Inn sculpture being reassembled after travelling the 16,000 kms from Albury NSW to London. You can listen back to her phone call this morning talking to Macca about how the Australian Garden was put together and that Prince Harry had visited the garden.

I was told this was the biggest and best gun show to hit this area.

I was told this was the biggest and best gun show to hit this area.
The Reliant Gun Show in Houston is the largest I have ever seen.
What city is that in?
Tyler I don't think I can call it a city. I'm sure the shows in Dallas and Houston are much bigger but for us small fries this one is big. Tyler is 2.5 hours outside of Dallas off I20.
Hmm - Tyler is still pretty far away. I think I'll wait for the Houston shows...
We will be at the at the Big Town Gun Show in Mesquite on Dec. 2nd or 3rd. I have never been to the Mesquite show just the Denton & Frisco shows which were pretty good. The Frisco show got shut down due to a N.D. at 1st show. :smt022
Hope to stumble on a MP compact.
Thanks it's only 70 mile for me, I'll be there.
Went to this gun show today and what a joke. The Oil Palace is a big place and I would guess they didn't have more than 10 tables. The show is sponsored by North American Gun Shows. I'm putting them on my black list. I wonder if it was bad because of the time of year. I was talking to the guy's over at Gander Mtn about their low stock and asked how long it takes to build the inventory back up. They told me that this time of year, the gun manufactures shut down production to retool and give employee's time off so it will take some time to get back to pre-holiday levels. That might be what happen at today's show. Can't win them all.
Well, the Houston shows at this time of the year are as large as ever.
When I went to the last Tyler show to get my PS90 about 5 weeks or so ago, I passed that building. But, as it is 3 hours to Tyler, I don't think I'll be headed back for a while.
Sorry the show wasn't that good.
The one I went to there for my rifle was small, but not too bad. Schram and Bachman were there. They had some decent stuff.

2007 New Official Screenshots and Artwork
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 12:34 PM MDT | By Kodo
Circulating the web are three 'new' previews, with new being defined as newly released but with old information. The previews from GamesRadar.com, IGN.com, and UK.GameSpot.com were all given the same demo that magazines wrote about, but they did come with web quality screenshots. You can view the older magazine screenshots at a clearer resolution as well as some never-before-seen screenshots and artwork. I'm at work right now, but when I get a chance I will upload them to this site. For now just click the article links.
Thanks to the GTA Network for the update.

When you apply nematodes you do it in a soaking manner, they can't live on the surface of the soil for long - so when the ground is moist, (water first if you have to), or right before a moderate rain. (half inch or so - when it will soak in, not run off).
You aren't penetrating the soil when spot treating with the tobacco juice - your fertilizers are organic, so no, I don't think what you are using will kill them.
Our droughts are why I have to reapply my nematodes - I don't water my perimeter areas at all - and the fire ants come in there. But I do still have pretty good protection in the areas I garden and therefore water, after a year or 2, sometimes 3. It is cheaper to reapply nematodes than to keep the edges of the lot watered all summer long.
(and by the way, have you got an easy cure for aphids? I was going to use dilute dish soap on my pear tree leaves - I have removed the tiny black ants that were farming them from a hideout in a fold of pond liner)
