"Feminism's Frankensteins" is Courtney E. Martin's phrase, not mine. And she's right.
Writing in TAP, she argues that, "The era of the singular feminist agenda is over. But that doesn't mean gender-based activism is."
If it's Tuesday, that means the feminist movement has been declared DOA again. This time, though, the analysis is actually worthy. Usually what that means is that women are not, and perhaps never were, discriminated against; the movement is over because it is no longer, or never was, needed. In other words: Bitches, quit your bitching. The absolute worst of these 'feminism is dead' dirges are the ones written by young female wannabees with nothing to offer the world but their quest for unearned fame. Martin's saying something quite different. Attending an old school feminist forum, she writes:

Madonna's been all over the papers this week as she waits for Malawi to finalize legal proceedings for the adoption of her fourth child, a 14-month old girl named Mercy James. This comes on the heels of increased skepticism over the legality of her prior Malawi adoption: her son David Banda, age three, has a birth father who now claims he regrets the adoption. The rules for international adoption in Malawi are vague, but the 12-month mandatory waiting period (which Madonna appears to have bypassed) is not. Thus, because of her star treatment, Madonna's adoptions have been treated with scorn rather than humanitarian envy. She's even been called out by fellow adoption-happy celeb Angelina Jolie.
Though the recent flurry of celebrity adoptions has definitely brought attention to issues surrounding international adoptions, the results have been mixed. It's hard to focus on the sinister undertones of taking a child out of a poverty-stricken country with high infant mortality rates. In the Republic of Malawi, for example, almost 12 percent of the population is infected with AIDS, medical care is minimal, and life expectancy hovers around a dismal 43 years.
But cynics argue that the benefits of international adoption, particularly when the adoptive parents are celebrities, rarely outweigh the costs. CNN wrote of Madonna's first adoption of David Banda in 2006:
Regardless of the motives of their adoptive parents, a child picked up from a developing country and dropped straight into the inevitable media spotlight becomes an unwitting poster child for poverty...
Although Madonna has pledged $3 million to the Raising Malawi charity, which aims to provide care and support for the country's one million (out of a total population of 12 million) orphans, even that generosity is tempered by the fact that the multi-million album-selling artist already has a fortune estimated to be worth some $460 million.
And, as Scott Carney reported in our March/April 2009 issue, vaguely worded international laws and cash-hungry adoption agencies make it very difficult to assure that a child in a poor country has been truly surrendered instead of trafficked. A little bit of extra research, Carney suggests, and adherence to international guidelines could save parents, biological and adoptive, a lifetime of regret.

At a hearing of the Senate Committee on Finance on Tuesday, two oversight chiefs delivered harsh criticism of the Treasury Department's lack of accountability and transparency in its Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General of TARP, testified that the Treasury has yet to require TARP recipients to deliver reports disclosing exactly how they are spending taxpayer money. "[C]omplaints that it was impractical or impossible for banks to detail how they used TARP funds were unfounded," Barofsky said. "While some banks indicated that they had procedures for monitoring their use of TARP money, others did not but were still able to give information on their use of funds."
Steve AquinoMar. 31, 2009 5:39 PM | Scheduled to publish Tue Mar. 31, 2009 5:39 PM EDT
On Tuesday, the Government Accountability Office released its latest report on the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Like everything the GAO puts out, the report is long and wonky, but to summarize, the GAO thinks the Treasury is a bit disorganized: It hasn't hired asset managers to oversee bailout repayment agreements and needs a better communication strategy "should it need additional funding" for TARP.
This is hardly surprising considering it was just last week that President Obama moved to fill the high-level vacancies at the Treasury. But it's hard to see why the Treasury wasn't on top of filling those spots sooner: the pool of available asset managers certainly hasn't run dry.
The most interesting nugget of information comes later in the report, where the GAO notes TARP recipients have paid the Treasury $2.9 billion in dividends through March 30. Around $2.5 billion of that was paid by banks that gave the government preferred stock in exchange for bailout funds—the exchange otherwise known as the Capital Purchase Program. The Treasury has paid out $199 billion in CPP funds so far, so the government has recouped 1.25 percent of its money in the last six months.

text: As you prepare for your certification exam, it is important to do your homework and understand the role of the type of fitness professional you aspire to become. By getting some hands-on experience and observing how current fitness professionals are applying the topics in the ACE study materials to their career, not only will you be ahead of the curve when you become certified, but your preparation for the exam will be much more enjoyable. Here are some tips on how to better understand the role of each fitness profession: If you are seeking to become a Personal Trainer, get some hands-on experience before taking your exam. While many people choose to do this immediately after they pass their exam, you will be ahead of the game if you do so during your studies. Whether it's job shadowing a personal trainer, attending a live workshop, or donating your time and getting involved with the Joining Forces program, the experience will give you good insight into the client-trainer relationship (rapport) and the role of the client assessment and interviewing process. It will also enable you to understand how to utilize assessment information and testing results to design safe and effective programs for clients. If you want to become a Group Fitness Instructor, take a variety of classes to better understand the role of the group fitness instructor. This will provide you with great insight on how to teach different modalities, acquaint you with a variety of environments for each class (e.g., room temperature, equipment, lighting, sound), and also allow you to witness how each instructor constructs his or her class to meet the needs of the students (e.g., class design). If you are studying to become a Health Coach, make sure that you have the professional background to earn this certification. You must hold either a current NCCA-accredited certification, an associate's degree or higher, or comparable work experience in fitness, exercise science, nutrition, health care, wellness, human resources or a related field. This credential requires a better understanding of how to encourage and coach individuals who require lifestyle changes and a deeper understanding of the relationship between physical activity, nutrition and the science behind behavior modification. Once you have confirmed your eligibility, shadow or become a client of an ACE Health Coach. You might also consider using the Find an ACE Trainer tool to contact an ACE Health Coach and see if they can offer any tips or insight into how to use the certification in your career. If you are seeking to become an Advanced Health & Fitness Specialist (assuming you are currently working as a Personal Trainer), try to network with allied health professionals like physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, registered dietitians or medical doctors who specialize in metabolic disorders. You may also want to consider taking continuing education courses that focus on working with special populations, such as pre-/post-natal clients, individuals with metabolic diseases and disorders, etc. With this education, your goals should be to learn how to take exercise programming principles and apply them to any population that may have different needs, issues limitations or unique considerations? By observing how fitness professionals are using their certifications in their careers and how they are applying the topics covered in the ACE materials to their training, instructing, and coaching, you'll be able to apply what you've learned to your studies and better understand the importance of the topics you are being tested on, making your study experience much more meaingful.

Better Know An Athlete: Paige Railey
The U.S. looks poised to take another spot on the podium in one of the Olympics lesser known water sports: Laser Radial.
We're 8 weeks away from the summer Olympics in London and it's about time you got to know some of the American athletes poised to bring home gold. This week we look at one of the Olympics lesser known water sports, Laser Radial sailing, and a first time American olympian going for gold: Paige Railey.
Paige Railey
Age: 25
Born in: St. Petersburg, Florida
Event: Laser Radial
Sailing certainly isn't the most high-profile Olympic sport, but Paige Railey is one of the most high-profile athletes in it. She's a four-time World Champion, three-time bronze medal World Champion, two-time European Open Champion and while her Olympic experience has thus far been limited to trials, she's planning to add London gold to her already impressive resume.
Dating back to her time on the youth circuit, Railey has set a string of records and firsts: she is the youngest sailor to be awarded U.S. Female Sailing Athlete of the Year, the youngest qualifier for the ISAF World Games, youngest to hold the number one spot on the U.S. sailing team, the first American to win the Women's Radial European Champion and the only person to qualify for the U.S. youth sailing team 4 straight years. She's also the youngest and first U.S. female to win the Rolex World Sailor of the Year award.
Dating back to 2010, Railey has finished in the top three (usually first) in all major regattas save one.
Worth Noting: Despite qualifying for the 2002 ISAF World Games, Railey was unable to compete because of an age restriction requiring racers to be at least 16 (she was 15 at the time). Railey nearly qualified for the 2008 Games in Beijing but was ousted by fellow American and eventual gold medal winner Anna Tunnicliffe at the U.S. Olympics Trials.
Railey on the trick to competitive sailing: "Spend hours on the water — alone or with someone else or with a group – and you'll start to feel comfortable and then it will become second nature. When you can start looking at the elements – the wind, waves and current – then you know you're comfortable with your boat."
Olympic Scouting Report: Pardon the pun, but Railey has been making waves since she hit water; 2006 remains a stand-out year for the young sailor, but since then she has become more consistent and comfortable racing in the big time. She's got some stiff competition coming out of Northern Europe in Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands, Evi Van Acker of Belgium and Sari Multala of Finland, but the top American sailor should be in a position to make the podium when all is said and done.

Someone who votes democrat because they rely on the pandering handouts given to them by the government. A big believer in the Nanny-State. Not quite a commie rat but with definite communist leanings. They never really accomplished anything in their life but somehow think the world owes them something.
The Authur Spooner character on "King of Queens" played brilliantly by Jerry Stiller is a good example of a dependocrat. He leeches off his daughter and son-in-law as well as the government and doesn't have a pot to piss in due to his own lack of planning or ambition.

The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) operates as an umbrella body for the 47 individual Wildlife Trusts, covering the whole of the UK.
The Wildlife Trusts' position
1. There is a growing body of evidence that shows that neonicotinoids have a detrimental effect at sub-lethal doses on insect pollinators. For this reason, The Wildlife Trusts believe that until it
can be categorically proven that neonicotinoids are not adversely impacting pollinator
populations, and by extension ecosystem health, Government should adopt the precautionary
principle and place a moratorium on their use on all outdoor crops.
2. Since their introduction in 1991, there has been a growing concern that neonicotinoid
insecticides could be harmful to insect pollinators at sub-lethal doses. Neonicotinoids have been cited as a contributory factor in Colony Collapse Disorder and recent research regarding their effects on bee foraging behaviour appears to substantiate this.
3. Insect pollinators provide a vital ecosystem service to the UK's farmers and fruit growers. It is estimated a collapse in pollinators would cost the UK economy c. £1.8 billion per year.
4. Most plant communities rely on pollinating insects to reproduce and therefore spread (apart from species such as grasses which are wind pollinated). They also form a vital part of the food chain for other species such as birds, reptiles and amphibians. It follows that any insecticide that drastically reduces pollinator numbers will have effects beyond the agricultural sector and will ultimately affect the health and function of entire ecosystems.
5. The registration documents/fact sheets for the individual neonicotinoids state that they are toxic or highly toxic to bees; either acutely, or chronically via pollen and nectar
6. However, the manufacturers of the insecticides claim that neonicotinoids do not cause direct bee mortality at small doses. Defra is of the view that the body of evidence assessed so far supports the conclusion that neonicotinoids do not threaten honey bee populations if properly used. The Scottish Government, which has an advisory role in the UK's pesticide regulation, is adopting the same approach.
What are neonicotinoids?
7. Neonicotinoids are a group of systemic insecticides routinely used in modern farming systems to help protect crops such as oilseed rape, maize, sugarbeet, sunflowers and potatoes from sap sucking insects such as aphids and other insect herbivores.
8. In 1991, the first nicotine-based insecticide, imidacloprid (Gaucho®), was introduced into the USA by Bayer CropScience. It was licensed in Europe in 1994.
9. Other neonicotinoids include clothianidin, acetamiprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran and nitenpyram.
How neonicotinoids work
10. The active chemical works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in an insect's nervous system. More specifically, the chemical has an affinity for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are important neuro-transmitter Receptors. The binding of the chemical with these receptors results in paralysis and death of the insect. This neural pathway is more abundant in insects than mammals and birds making the chemical much more toxic to insects. However, research has shown that neonicotinoids do act on mammalian pathways and could damage human health
11. Neonicotinoids bind irreversibly [to brain synapses], causing permanent damage. This damage is cumulative, meaning that toxic effects are produced in a time-dependent manner, no matter how low the
level of exposure
Wider environmental impacts
12. Neonicotinoids could have wider environmental effects. They are water soluble and mobile in soil, where they are also very persistent. Research has shown major contamination of Dutch surface water with imidacloprid, which has been linked to declines in invertebrate-dependent bird species
Colony Collapse Disorder
18. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is a recent, widespread phenomenon affecting honey bee
colonies in the Northern hemisphere. It is characterized by a sudden disappearance of honey
bees from the hive. The syndrome is mysterious in that the there are often no corpses found, and although there are often many disease organisms present, no outward signs of disease, pests, or parasites exist. Multiple causes of CCD have been proposed, such as combinations of pesticides, pathogens, parasites and natural habitat degradation.
19. In some European countries, increasing concern regarding the connection between CCD and
neonicotinoids has led to a partial or full ban of some neonicotinoids. As early as 1994, French beekeepers noticed that over the course of a few days, after sunflowers had bloomed, a
substantial number of their hives would collapse because the worker bees flew off and never returned, leaving the queen and immature workers to starve. French beekeepers believed the
root cause was the new insecticide Gaucho®, an imidacloprid based neonicotinoid which was
being applied to sunflowers for the first time. It took French beekeepers nearly 10 years to get imidacloprid banned in France for use on sunflowers and maize. Other European countries that have a partial or full ban of some of neonicotinoid products include Germany, Italy and Slovenia.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Walter, Sep 24, 2012.
Aww , one more year Linwood!!
Everyone is welcome here if they can get along with others. So playful teasing and stuff always ok, but no people with serious socialization issues because I dont want to have to ban someone who is bringing everyone down. There is an extra qualification when it comes to fantasy. They need to have a forum account and post on the board. They dont have to post a lot, but they have to post more than Bezeach, which is to say, more than once a year. They can post exclusively in the fantasy forum if they want. This is to keep our leagues from being filled with strangers, as that makes playing a lot less fun.
As long as he will stay in it, it's perfectly fine. I am also thinking about combining this league with my work league as we can't get many people to join as well.
You want to play with us? Send me an instant message and I'll send you the invite.
Come on people, lets go. This is a basketball forum and I can't get 10 people to join a fun and competitive fantasy league that we've had for years?
OK. Last call for the Novice league. At this point we have 4 players and need more.
Come on!! I think we need at least 4 more players right?
Bezeach's one post per year: "I'm in."
mikhail Rocastle Walt rax Mossberg ...me C'mon people? If there's no Novice League this year, The Squirrels retain our 'ship and we'll continue celebrating for an extra year. We need training camp in order to detox from all of the bad stuff that we've been partaking in. ...Help! This league is weekly and takes less than 5 minutes per week. It's fun and it gives you a reason to watch a Blazers vs Jazz game in early February with a vested interest.
Was hoping Novice would get enough players... Okay...count me in
One thing though, can we bring the draft forward a couple hours please? Pleeeeeease
Send me an invite. It may be time for the Ballaholics to have a D League team this year, even though we moved up to the Advanced League a couple years ago.
The punching bag is in.... I think I might have not finished last once in basketball lol, enjoy the free wins :P
older forum vets back in novice league? these oldies are degenerating faster than expected...
Up until last year, Roscoe was in this league since the late 70's. I remember him mentioning how Calvin Murphy used to help him dominate the FT% category.
Glad it looks like we are getting there. How many teams do we have now?
mikhail + 2 co-workers Rocastle Walt rax Mossberg BallDon'tLie possibly more on the way. Also, I was asked to move draft forward a couple of hours. Anyone has a preference? As of right now it's scheduled for Sunday, Oct 28 10pm Eastern 7pm Pacific.
8pm EST 5pm PST is my preference
6:30pm EST is pretty much as late as I can go - that will be 11:30pm here in England. However, I know I'm in a minority of one there so happy to go with whatever.
I have PF Keeper Draft at 8:00 pm EST but I can make sure my Novice Autodraft is set to "dominate" mode.

Twins unable to solve Royals bullpen in 5-4 loss
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Right fielder Chris Colabello misjudged a fly ball. Third baseman Trevor Plouffe never saw a liner hit at him. And catcher Josmil Pinto made the most glaring mistake when he threw the ball into left field for an error during a double steal.
The result of all that Minnesota mayhem was a five-run fourth inning for the Kansas City Royals, and a head-scratching 5-4 loss on Saturday for Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.
"These plays ended up costing us a ball game," he said.
Kevin Correia (1-1) wound up allowing all five runs, only four of which were earned, on nine hits and two walks in just six innings. But at least some of them could have been avoided.
Or rather, should have been avoided.
"We're a starting staff that pitches to contact. We pride ourselves on making plays," Correia said. "These guys are going to come back and play good defense."
Bruce Chen (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks for Kansas City, but the damage could have been a lot worse. The crafty left-hander twice walked the bases loaded, and his only clean inning was the first, when Brian Dozier hit a fly out that nearly left the park.
Chen struggled through five innings. His bullpen breezed through four.
Danny Duffy tossed two scoreless innings, and Wade Davis navigated a perfect eighth before turning the game over to All-Star closer Greg Holland. He set down the top of the Minnesota lineup in order for his sixth save in as many chances.
"They've been lights-out, and they're starting to get accustomed to the season," Yost said of his relief corps, which helped starter Jason Vargas polish off a shutout in the series opener.
The Royals, who have won five straight after getting swept last weekend in Minnesota, are 9-0 when scoring at least four runs. They're 0-7 scoring three or fewer.
"When we get that magic number," DH Billy Butler said, "we're hard to beat."
Kurt Suzuki homered and drove in three runs for the Twins, and Aaron Hicks also drove in a run. But it wasn't enough for Correia, who wound up allowing all five runs, four of them earned.
The Twins didn't help him much with their shaky defense.
Left fielder Jason Kubel lost a fly ball in the glaring sun and it fell for a double in the second inning. Then in the fourth, Colabello misplayed a fly off the bat of Butler that ended up at the warning track and put runners on second and third.
"I took a chop step in and kind of froze. I didn't think he hit it that good," Colabello said. "Obviously there's nobody who feels worse about it than I do. Everything was being pushed toward center. When I froze I got turned around."
That was the start of the Royals' game-changing charge.
Mike Moustakas followed with a sacrifice fly and Justin Maxwell added an RBI single to tie the game. Alcides Escobar was plunked on the elbow, and Nori Aoki followed with a go-ahead single that Plouffe never even saw standing near third base.
Moments later, Escobar and Aoki took off on a double steal, and Pinto threw the ball into left field, allowing both runners to advance and making it 4-2. Omar Infante added a single to cap the five-run inning and give Kansas City a comfy cushion.
The Twins got two runs back on Suzuki's single in the fifth, but Chen managed to get Hicks to ground out with a pair of runners on board to preserve his one-run lead.
"Some good things happened. Unfortunately, we had one bad inning and it cost us a ballgame," Gardenhire said. "If we make the plays we're supposed to make we win."
NOTES: RHP Yordano Ventura pitches the series finale Sunday for Kansas City. RHP Phil Hughes is on the mound for Minnesota. ... Hicks collided with Colabello while making a catch at the wall in the fifth inning. Both players were OK. ... Twins 1B Joe Mauer, celebrating his 31st birthday, delivered a bunt single and scored in the fifth. ... Royals manager Ned Yost expects OF Jarrod Dyson (bereavement list) to return Monday.

Streaking Phoenix Hits Windy City to End Regular Season
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Winners of three-straight and six of its last eight games, Green Bay (13-14, 8-8 HL) hits the road to end the regular season with a pair of games in Chicago. The first test will be on Thursday night when the Phoenix plays at Loyola at 7 p.m. at the newly renovated Gentile Center.
Head coach Brian Wardle, a native of nearby Willowbrook, will bring a strong contingent of players and staff from the Chicago area to the Windy City. The Phoenix roster includes six Chicago natives, including freshman point guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), and two of Wardle's assistant coaches have ties to the city.
Sykes has scored in double figures in eight games in a row and has been incredible in Horizon League play, averaging 13.1 points and 4.2 assists per game. In Green Bay's 71-67 home win over Cleveland State, the point guard had 13 points and five assists while playing 40 minutes.
Wisconsin native Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) enters the weekend streaking as well. The top three-point shooter in the Horizon League is shooting 46.6 percent from long range and has made a three in 16 consecutive games. He had five threes and 17 points in Tuesday's win.
Green Bay won the first meeting against Loyola 57-47, with sophomore Alec Brown scoring a team-high 14 points. The Ramblers have won two of their last four games on the strength of strong play from junior Ben Averkamp, a Wisconsin native who leads the team in scoring (14.7) and rebounding (7.2).
The game will also be broadcast live on WDUZ The Fan with the pregame show beginning at 11:45 a.m. Matt Menzl and Andrew Gavin will be on the call for the radio broadcast. To listen live online, click here.
• INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay holds a 23-15 advantage in the all-time series with Loyola and has won five of the past six games. The lone exception during that run was a 79-62 loss at the Gentile Center on Feb. 12, 2011. Loyola holds a 10-7 margin in the series on its home court.
• THE FIRST MEETING: In the first meeting this season, Green Bay sprinted out to a 32-12 halftime lead and staved off a great effort from Loyola in the second half to win 57-47. Walt Gibler, who has missed the last two games due to injury, scored a game-high 18 points for the Ramblers while Phoenix sophomore Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) was the lone Phoenix player in double figures with 14. Green Bay had nine different players score in the contest.
• HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay went 12-2 at the Resch Center this season, completing one of its best ever seasons at the facility. The Phoenix went 13-2 at home during the 2008-09 season. Green Bay has a 22-6 home record in two seasons under head coach Brian Wardle.
• BACK HOME ON THE ROAD: The Phoenix brings nine different players and coaches from the Chicago area to the Windy City this weekend. All six Green Bay players from Chicago are newcomers, including sophomore Terry Johnson and freshmen Aaron Armstead, Jared Dimakos, Josh Humphrey, Greg Mays and Keifer Sykes. The Chicago natives combined for 28 points in Tuesday's win.
• CAN I SEE SOME ID?: Sykes is in the running for Horizon League Newcomers of the Year. Since turning 18 on Dec. 30, the freshman is averaging 14.4 points and 4.6 assists in 14 games. Since becoming eligible to vote, the country's second-youngest player has scored in double figures in 13 of 14 games, including eight in a row. He leads all Horizon League freshmen in points, assists and assist-to-turnover ratio and is eighth in the conference in scoring in league play.
• CERRONI STREAKIN': Cerroni, the Horizon League's top three-point shooter at 46.6 percent, has consistently given the Phoenix a presence from long distance. After hitting five threes Tuesday against CSU, Cerroni has now drained a three-pointer in 16-straight games and in 20 of the past 21. He is now 55-of-118 from long range this season. In league play, Cerroni is shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc and averaging 10.9 points per game.
• CERRONI IN THE CLUTCH: In the last five minutes of games this season, Cerroni leads the Phoenix in scoring. Cerroni has knocked down 13-of-24 threes (54.2 percent), 20-of-23 free throws (87 percent) during those minutes.
• TOP THE CHARTS: Brown has broken the program's single-game, single-season and career blocked shots records this season. The 7-foot-1 Brown has 81 blocks this season and 148 for his career. He has a block in 52 of 59 career games and became the program's all-time leader in the category in just 54 career games.
• SWAT TEAM: Led by Brown's record-breaking season, Green Bay has tallied 127 blocks to break the program's single-season team record of 119 set last season.

Looking back at 2011
>> Monday, January 2, 2012
I'm not going to do a "Best of or Top Ten of 2011". There are already a gazillion of those out there and another one isn't needed. If you're looking for what books I liked most in 2011 check out my Goodreads "Highly Recommended Shelf" down at the bottom of the page or check the categories over to the right and select 4.5 or 5 stars.
I am going to talk about my reading and blogging in 2011.
I read one less book in 2011 than I did in 2010. I ended the year with 80 books completed. 63 of those were paper or electronic books and 17 were audiobooks.
What was interesting is that while I read fewer paper and electronic books than last year, I managed to listen to more audiobooks. I haven't changed my audiobook listening habits that much. I still only listen when I'm in the car by myself during commute and errand time. What I did change was one little setting on my ipod that allowed me to increase my audiobook listening by 40 hours over last year. The playback speed adjustment that is called "double speed" really isn't what it sounds like. For the longest time I thought that this would just speed up everything and make the narrator sound like The Chipmunks. This is not the case. What it seems to do is shorten the empty space between words so that the book plays faster but the narrator's voice isn't changed. It's really not 'double speed' either but it does manage to allow me to finish audiobooks faster. It takes a little time to get used to and it's not something that works for every book or every narrator. I did start using the faster playback speed with most audiobooks and increased my audiobooks completed by quite a bit.
I remained picky about reading challenges. The only formal challenge I joined was the What's in a Name? challenge. It continues to be one of my very favorites. I also am a member of the 75 books group on Goodreads and while I was wondering back in October whether I'd meet that goal or not, I did make it.
Looking back at the books I read in 2010 I can tell that I was good at making my reading choices. I read a lot of books that I liked and ended up with quite a few in the 4-5 star range. That's not because I think every book I read is stunning, it's because I've done a better job selecting books for myself. I hope I can continue that trend in 2012.
I tried some new things on the blog in 2011 and some worked and some didn't. I kept up with my goal of monthly Confessions of a Serial Reader feature posts. That's been fun. I've also done a Weekend Update almost every weekend. I like not having that committed to either Saturday or Sunday and it's evolved a bit over the year. I had a books purchased page I started but took down because I kept forgetting to update it. Short Story Mondays has been a regular weekly post for the past few months. I'll talk more about these blog features and where I want to go with them tomorrow when I talk about my plans for 2012.

Home>Support Us>Become a Friend>Benefits of being a Friend>Number 5, South Leinster Street
No. 5, South Leinster Street, which houses the Friends of the National Gallery offices and members' rooms, was built circa 1757. It went through many changes before its incorporation into the Millennium Wing and restoration, from near ruin, in 2005-08.
Four neoclassical plasterwork ceilings were added in the late 18th century when the rear elevation was bowed. A ballroom, erected in the garden, is unique to Dublin and now a feature of the Wintergarden Café in the Gallery. The house's first recorded owner was barrister Arthur Wolfe, from 1780-1803. Its second, from 1818-26, was Archibald Hamilton Rowan, leader of the United Irishmen. By 1850, Wilson's Linen Warehouse was on the ground floor, followed from 1874-83 by the interior decorators, Thomas Panter & Son, whose presence remains in a gilded and painted ceiling, plaster wall panel and Egyptian columns. The staircase was removed about this time (the recent replacement is copied from No. 6 next door). Subsequent tenants included a bathroom shop, restaurant and night club.
A gilt columned mantelpiece and rococo mantelpiece with fruits have been introduced on the ground floor and three marble Georgian-style ones on the first (one with inlays as made by Pietro Bossie in 1790s Dublin) to replace those lost in the past.

Cheap Vacation Locales
There are still some out of the way hotspots that won't empty your wallet. We check out the best countries anyone can do on a budget.
It's easy to imagine the breadth of travel opportunities for those wielding serious wads of cash and platinum frequent flier cards, those who are on a first-name basis with the hospitality manager at every Trump hotel worldwide, but the general populace who have the urge to visit a destination worthy of the term "exciting" may have tired of the biennial trips to the Smithsonian, Liberty Island or Mickey Mouse land.
With that in mind, we've put together a few of our favorite (fairly) exotic destinations that will stretch that greenback further. These out-of-the-way hotspots are exciting, fresh and worth sinking your money into the plane ticket getting there. Check out cheap airfare aggregator www.kayak.com if you need to get a head start in that department; you can find cheap single or double rooms in a local hostel or B&B at www.hostelworld.com, though we hear couch surfing can be just as fun.
Pint of Beer: $0.72 USD
Local Currency: Vietnamese Dồng (1 ₫ = $0.00005 USD)
Wrapping around a vast coastal expanse of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a party paradise of golden beaches, biosphere reserves and national tourist areas, which act as highlight zones for what to see. While of course you can find your usual starred lodging choices, backpackers make up a large portion of the millions who visit each year, leading to a variety of pocket-friendly options. We'd suggest scoping out Nha Trang on the south coast, which is home to some of the top beaches in the country and some seriously sick scuba diving. Grab some Bird's Nest Soup if you feel like testing out the local fare.
Pint of Beer: $1.75 USD
Local Currency: Belize Dollar (1 BZD = $0.53 USD)
Despite the fact that this Central American country is dwarfed by neighboring Mexico, and of course the States, the former British colony of Belize is ripe with natural attractions, specifically in the realms of ecotourism and Mayan ruins. Though Spanish is spoken frequently, the country's official language is actually English, which will make it the easiest of our choices to get around in. Must-see attractions include the Great Blue Hole, a natural sinkhole set amongst the many reefs that surround the country's shoreline, as well as the Xunantunich archeological site. The grub options are a mixture of traditional Mexican and West Caribbean — try the iguana or conch soup if you feel adventurous.
Pint of Beer: $0.62 USD
Local Currency: Malagasy ariary (1 AR = $0.0005 USD)
While the mere mention of this African island may have you thinking about the ridiculously popular kids' film franchise, the only accurate detail you can look forward to is lots and lots of lemurs — catlike tree-dwelling primates who are scarily reminiscent of those Furby toys from years back. Wildlife aside, Madagascar is truly a country worth getting lost in, where the usual draw of beachgoing comes second (or third) to exploring one of the most pristine remaining rainforests left on the planet, chilling in the shadow of the massive alien Avenue of the Baobabs (above), or simply checking out the Afro-French culture in the capital of Antananarivo (try saying that three times fast…and drunk). Prepare for massive quantities of rice, the staple of Malagasy cuisine, along with laoka (side dishes) which could be anything from seafood to pork.
Pint of Beer: $1.32 USD
Local Currency: Złoty (pronounced "zwot-teh") (1 zł = $0.31 USD)
While this Central European nation wouldn't be your first guess as a cheap place to get away (it's technically Eastern Europe, but don't mention it unless you have a serious death wish), Poland is a country of welcoming, down-to-earth citizens who are always down for good times, relaxing and, of course, several shots of Polish Vodka. The capital of Warsaw is rich in history, Stalinist architecture and rebirth (the city was almost fully destroyed a couple of times due to war), but the best places to have a good time lie in the debaucherous city of Krakow (pronounced "crack-oof") in the south, the gingerbread-crazed city of Torun ("tore-oone") with its underground dungeon bars and of course the entire Baltic Sea coast (pictured above), a local party spot to visit from June to September. While you're in the vicinity, try the pierogi, barszcz (borscht) and, yes, more vodka.

Course Preface
Printable Version (pdf)
Course Introduction
Description of Printmaking
This is an entry-level course for the High School Visual Arts Core Curriculum. Printmaking teaches how to make fine art prints using studio processes such as relief, intaglio, planography, and stencil. With an emphasis on studio production, this course is designed to develop higher-level thinking, art-related technology skill, art criticism, art history, and aesthetics. The prerequisite for this course is Foundations I or II.
Explanation of Standards
There are two basic goals in a visual arts education: one, creating meaning in works of art, and two, perceiving meaning in works of art. The Utah State Visual Arts Core divides each of these goals into two standards. The resulting four art standards are Making, Perceiving, Expressing, and Contextualizing. These four divisions or standards organize the curriculum into manageable and related units and guide the student toward a deep and holistic comprehension of the Visual Arts. Each standard is broken into objectives, each objective into indicators. A scoring box is placed to the left of each objective. The student scores his or her achievement within each objective using a number ranging from 0 to 10. A legend is provided wherein the student and teacher tally both the average score from the objective boxes and the total number of indicators the class has studied.
Technology requirements for this class include computers with art/graphics software, color printer, image projectors, and appropriate new technologies.

Clear a spot in the brush row behind work and set up a small bee yard from splits without asking.
Clear a spot in the brush row behind work and set up a small bee yard from splits without asking.
make splits of my existing 2 hives (i went into winter with 3) and hopefully catch a swarm, perhaps 2. maybee do a cutout... between splits, swarms etc make it to 5-6 hives.
double the honey production (100 lbs this year) and go into winter with 4-6 strong hives and roll into 2014 with at least 5, (then double again)
3 year plan is 10 hives and 500lbs+ of honey.
1- at least 3/4 hives survive
2- kill the nasty queen re-queen with brood from the hive with the occasional greenish bees
3- avoid loss from swarming
4- get the top bar hive going
5- no beetles
6 catch a swarm or 2
Ollie, Scut and I are going to try to raise queens in San Mateo. I figure with Ollie's experience, Scut's back and my stunning good looks, we should be just fine. I've aquired more yards to fill with hives so I will be doing splits using my own queens. Swarm captures from BG's and KQ6AR's yards should be a good start as well! I wish Ben would move his operation here. He's got to be tired of those boring winters by now. Bring some of those bottom boards with you Ben!
I want to go from 30 to 50 hives by fall.
Last edited by Charlie B; 01-24-2013 at 05:39 PM.
1. Get all five hives through the winter (so far so good).
2. Successfully prevent swarming in all five hives without splitting (don't have money or room to expand). I'm planning to try MB's "opening the brood nest" trick.
3. Catch 4+ swarms in traps; offer them to friends who want bees or have suffered winter losses. (OK, I *could* have a sixth hive...)
4. Harvest 200+ lbs of honey.
5. Feed less than 100 lbs of sugar.
6. Find a summer mite treatment that is more effective and less hard on bees than Apiguard.
I forgot one, requeen my dad's hot hive without him noticing!
get my four hives healthy through the winter, maybe add another one and have a good harvest this year, i have alot of orders already coming in
My main goal is to split my strong hives before they swarm late May
Move my new hives into all day sun, right now they have shade all afternoon.
Move my swarm traps to better locations. No luck with the old places.
Coyote Creek Bees
1. Split the one hive I have from a feral capture.
2. Try my hand at various methods of queen rearing to make splits with.
3. Split my one hive and the resulting splits to increase my yard to 20 hives.
4. Produce 4,000 pounds of honey for the year.
5. Secure an outlet to sell all that honey.
I may be a dreamer but, dreams are only plans not yet fulfilled.

I have three mature hives, and I am going to make some splits this year. I have three small nucs and I intend to introduce some VSH queens to these nucs in the spring. Of course, I am waiting to see if the nucs make the winter. They look good at this point in time.
One of my hives superceded their queen last year and I too have a hot hive like you are describing. My bees are less than 200 miles from the Mexican border. My bees have the same behavior characteristics as do yours. I will add that my bee crawl on the ground. I am going to bring them another queen. By the way, they are a good hive of bees, but they are just too much to deal with.
Survive my 8 hives the winter.
Get some honey from them.
Requeen all this 8 hives.
Catch some swarms in my bait hives to increase my number.
Assuming my two current hives make it thru winter , split into four this spring.
Set out bait hives in our valley and hopefully catch a swarm or two.
Try my hand at raising queens this year.
Oh yeah , purchase the motor kit for my six frame extractor , I get too agressive on the old hand crank sometimes and blow the frames apart , not good.
Keep a closer eye on the hives as they mature.
Try a couple of splits.
Educate myself more on treatment options.
Become a bee mentor to someone (youth group) who has the nads to allow me to try. lol
If the drought continues (which looks highly probable) my goals are to just be able to maintain the 40 hives I have.
Steps I'm going to take:
- more yards with fewer hives each, located to capitalize on our early flow floral sources, with the hives set very close to perminent water sources
- requeen the few Italian type hives with more thrifty feral stock
- agressive swarm management to maximize what little flow we may have this spring
- no cutouts, or swarm captures after May 15th (I don't want any extra bees that will require feeding)
- no harvesting
Couldn't you just do combines into weak hives with the late season swarms?
My goals for this year are:
1. Swarm prevention
2. Reasonable honey crop with as much new drawn comb as possible
3. Learning how to graft for my two year re-queen program
4. Better record keeping
That should be enough goals for one year. The last several years has been devoted to learning how to keep the bees healthy, and building up from one hive to 6 strong production hives. This year I launch all 6 hives into their fist year of honey production.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
Find a spot a few miles down the road so I can capture some of WWWs swarms
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
1. Figure out how to sip my morning coffee through my veil!
2. Do more herb plantings around the hives to increase the essential oils and hopefully mite repelling scents going into the hives. These smell amazing and I would do it just for my pleasure if nothing else. My customers love it too, makes them want to come back and bring their freinds.
3. Buy a car/flatbed trailer and turn it into a permanent, bear proof platform for my larger production hives. Then I can take it into the mountains when my flow here is over and not have to lift any hives. Just unhook it and walk away until late fall. Give them the chance to make enough honey to also feed queen production hives here at home. This leads to my # 4 goal..
4. Not have to buy much sugar..except to occasionally feed mating nucs during a darth.
5. Remember all the things I learned in 2012 and stay ahead of seasonal changes in the hives, not just behind them.
6. Reinvent the wheel and make a better mouse trap! LOL, or do more Monkey Frogging, as Ace puts it
7. I'd really at some point like to invite the Wounded/disabled Vets from Ft. Lewis/McChord to come over and learn beekeeping, gardening and horse related stuff. My place is close to the base and wheelchair accessable. As soon as I can get some things accomplished and organized I am going to pursue this idea. On a small scale at first and see how it goes. I'm use to being alone here, but have a lot I can share with a few folks.
Just spending a little time with this little guy and all seems right with the world.
His name is Fabio, by the way. See? I already made you smile.

text: I'm new to this and apogize in advance for the silly question. Is there such a thing as too much smoke? Or have any of you ever had all the bees flee the hive you're trying to smoke instead of running in and filling up? I was literally covered in bees the last time we opened our hive. Thank goodness for full battle gear!

Cristina is a very nice host. Her apartment is very confortable and it is well situated to visit Madrid. You can nearly do everything by foot.I recommend Cristina's place to enjoy the city !
The flat was wonderful; very modern, well designed to make best use of the space, and very well equipped. It was comfortably cool even in the 40-degree heat wave! The location is perfect. Cristina was very welcoming and helpful. We would stay here again.
Cristina is charming and helpful. Her studio apartment is perfect. It has everything you could need, is immaculately clean and its situation couldn't be better. It's near Opera metro and within reach of all the places one might want to visit. We shall definitely be coming back to Madrid - there's so much to do and see - and would not wish to stay anywhere else but Cristina's apartment. Thank you Cristina for making our stay so good.
We had a great stay at this apartment. The apartment was very clean and convenatily close to the Metro station Opera (perfect location). The contact with the owner, Cristina, was very smooth. We will definitely stay here during our next stay in beautiful Madrid.
Kind regards/
Jimmie & Stina
Lovely apartment as described - very very central and because of the close proximity of restaurants you should expect some street noise late evening. Very easy to get to and from the airport as metro station is at the end of the street. Apartment was very clean and although small had everything you needed and felt very secure. Would stay here again.
Wonderful apartment and even better owner! It is in the most perfect location one could ask for in madrid, just seconds from the opera (you can see it from the two balconys) and minutes from sol and plaza mayor. Apartment is very clean and new. We could not have asked for anything better!
Great place to stay! You can live in such a nice flat, fully equipped, cosy and very very central! We have never taken any metro to go out, you can easly reach every main sightseeing/nightlife location by foot!
Cristina has been really nice too, we couldn't ask for any better and would suggest this flat to everyone, couples, friends, person alone.. It is just perfect!
An absolute delight to stay in this apartment in Madrid. Christina was very welcoming and helpful.
The apartment is in an excellent location, was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable.
Highly recommend staying here.
The appartment is on a perfect location, very central. Short walk to the metro. Cristina is very helpfull and nice. She is an excellent hostess! The appartment is nice and light. Everything is there. Nearby are very nice restaurants en tapasbars. There are supermarkets and there is a good bakery where you can by fresh bread. The shoppingstreets are one block away. We had a great time in Madrid. Thank you Cristina!

Ok let's look at this for a minute
If a commercial beek rotates old comb as needed and switch to SC in the process. And does everything else the same like treatments...
This should not cost the commercial beek any more money or work. Five years down the road the beek will have all small cell and the option to skip a treatment if they want or continue treatment. I would think just to have the option would be a bonus. Maybe skip treatment on 1/4 of the hive each year. Or just continue to treat and have the possibility of allot less mites during a flow and during non treatment times.
Why would a Commercial Beek not want to do that???

Can someone recommend a good piston conversion for AR15?
i would try the TNW possibly the non plated version for around $250ish. although i will admit that i haven't built a piston driven ar-type yet, i am considering such a device for a SBR/-xm-177 type project.
Centerfire has them for @ $250 also. I saw a bunch of them at Knob Creek this spring for @ $250 ...almost bought one
I think the ones at CFS are TNW's
I love how everyone advertises theirs as a ground-breaking technological innovation! These guys made piston uppers way back when... possibly the first:
Z-M Weapons Home Page
I saw recently that Para Ordnance (I think) is now marketing the Z-M system on their label. I saw that in one of the TACTICOOL mags like "Special Weapons".
Kurts Kustom made them way back when as well... unfortunately Kurt of Kurt's Kustom Firearms has passed away recently, so his EvoM4 gas piston conversion is no longer available.
I see Bushmaster makes one:
Bushmaster Upper Receiver Assemblies
Seems to me someone with access to a milling machine and lathe could make one up, no?
ETA I see POF-USA makes uppers but I don't see a kit on their site:

I havent done the 41 yet, I did a cz26 about10 years ago but that design was sold to someone else and unfortinatly I signed a non disclosure agreement
PBB. didnt you ake a semi set up for the 41? and if so are you interested in seling one? i just dont have the skills or equipment to do this type of work... but im willing to pay you for it.
Hate takes LESS energy & thought... Dont be so Lazy.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?
YES, i work for TEC Tactical. 02/07 SOT

So what receiver are you going to use? I have looked at coldsteel and it looks interesting but they apparently require a blocking bar. I don't know how those work. They also offer a trunion. This looks like an interesting semi build if I can get access to the tooling.

I bought mine from centerfire for $49
for a rec repair section I am waiting on mike(prexis-sten), he posed he was working on the project a few weeks ago, hopefully it wont be long as my trig group and bolt have been done. I would build a die and puch a repair section out but I only need one
For a FA bolt block in the rec I am going to weld 1/4" diam hard pin thru the top of the rec that lines up with the slot I machined in the top of my bolt
Did you ever find the trunnion blueprint? The ones I see pre-made look like a simple cylinder, but looking at the parts kit it looks like the "hinge" for the upper and lower is part of the trunnion.
If you look at the pic of the ready made ones there is a rectangular key on the cylindrical trunion that fits in the sheetmetal shoe in the pic which is the hinge point
I'd like to look at the blueprint also. This should be added to the Firearm Library along with any other blueprints, schematics, templates that other members have and are willing to share. It's amazing what can be accomplished with a set of measurements at hand.
I will finish this build up if my receivers ever arrive from WLA, another member has worked out a beautiful, positve disconnector
Great project.
I have a problem. I have dummy PPS43 and like this SMG very much.
Head of its bolt is destroyed. Can you give a picture of the header.
Dimesions would be great. Also picture of ejector and firing pin

Amar'e Stoudemire's back picks a really bad time to act upTuesday, April 19th, 2011
Knicks superstar power forward Amar'e Stoudemire couldn't have picked a worse time to experience back spasms for the first time in his career. After tweaking his back during a dunk in warmups, Stoudemire said he felt the twinge get worse during the first half.
He was limited to 2-of-9 shooting in 18 minutes and finished with just four points as the Knicks couldn't quite overcome his absence in a 96-93 loss to the Celtics Tuesday night at TD Garden.
'I believe it happened in warmups," said Stoudemire, who had to stand for his postgame press conference because his back was still so tight. "I touched the top of the glass with my left hand and dunked it with my right. I think that's when I felt it really get tight on me.
"I could hardly move. I was trying to play through it. I went to the trainers and staff, was getting worked on there before the game, right before the national anthem I got up and stood up for the anthem and tried to get a little more work done. I just couldn't get quite totally loose. I tried to play on it and pushed through it, but for the most part, I played the first quarter and second quarter, after that it was a sharp pain and I couldn't continue.'
Stoudemire said this was the first time in his career he experienced the injury and is hoping treatment in the next two days will have him ready when the series resumes Friday at Madison Square Garden.
'I never had back spasms before, so I guess it's just a normal back spasm," he said. "Take time for it to relax, but I should be ready for Game 3. I'm not sure, we'll see how it goes tomorrow, and the next day, and then I'm pretty, sure hopefully I'll be ready to go by Friday.'
Stoudemire watched from the TV in the locker room as Carmelo Anthony almost single-handedly led the Knicks to victory.
'Yeah I was getting treatment for the full second half," Stoudemire said. "I watched the game on the TV screen, but meanwhile I was getting treatment the whole time. I was trying to loosen up the back, trying to get ready to come out there in the second half or third quarter. I just couldn't get the back to release hardly any. It took awhile for me to get comfortable, still in somewhat pain now. But hopefully, in the next few days, it will release.
'They played great," Stoudemire said of Anthony. "Carmelo shot the ball extremely well tonight, something that we needed. And the rest of the guys stepped up to play, they played great tonight. That's something that we need, hopefully some confidence from tonight's game will grow for Friday."

The Mini Stock feature was a great chase for the lead that Nick Hebrank held. The only caution came out for Cody Kinsey's spin on the backstretch in which the 11 came trapped by the mud. The likes of Shirlene Hammond, Ray Folwell, and Roberto Morfin, Jr. were given the task of chasing Hebrank, but he held his 9H at the point until the end. Shirlene Hammond had a career night with a heat win earlier to add with her runner-up finish, Ray Folwell built on his points lead with a 3rd place finish, Stephen Hahlbaugh would settle for 4th, and "TacoSon" Roberto Morfin, Jr. rounded out the top 5. However, after a teardown in tech, everyone moved up 1 spot as Hebrank was illegal. Shirlene Hammond took career win #1, Folwell moved up to 2nd, Hahlbaugh up on to the podium, "TacoSon" a strong 4th, and Brittany Yates put the 53 in the top 5.
Feature #3 was the UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds with 25 scheduled laps. Down the backstretch on lap 1, Kyle Bronson and Larry Mott found themselves out of line and facing a different direction. The complete restart went 1 completed before Jim Smith had a problem down the backstretch and found the wall. On lap 5, Larry Mott spun where he had earlier as Garret Stewart, Jim Passino, and Ronald Soltis made contact and traded sheet metal. At the same time, Scott Kurtzner found himself trapped in the dirt at the bottom of the course. Lap 12 saw Kevin Bryant spin in turn 4 forcing a yellow flag. As the race progressed, Steve Whitener took the lead from pole sitter Jason Davis. After 4 laps, under a cution for Scott Kurtzner, the Mathews Motorsports cars pulled to the pit entrance for new helmets with fresh tear-offs. Twice on lap 19 debris was found on the clay. Ronald Soltis set up a Green/White- Checkered that cut the feature down by 3 laps. Whitener held on to the win as Jeff Mathews held on to the points lead with 2nd, Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. finished 3rd, Jason Davis a strong and much needed 4th, and Donnie Hall rounded out the top 5.
The Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks were given extra motivation with $500 on the line and double points. Lap 2 was the first caution as Richard Calmes spun the 4C and Jason Blackmer stalled, ending his night. Another lap went in the books and John Thorpe made contact with Tim Mathieu, both going to the rear with Mathieu spinning to the back. The lap 4 caution was thrown for debris. Chris Shea had a flat on lap 8 which slowed his 76 significantally and the yellow was brought out once more. Todd Roberts found himself in the mud at the bottom of the turn, ending his night at what would be 2 laps early. Gordon Cade and Jeff Baer made contact setting up the Green/White- Checkered. Chad Scranton won his 2nd of 2011 with team-mate Brian Mullins in 3rd. Luke Sadler had some new paint and put it in 2nd, Jonathan Appleby quietly drove to 4th, and Brian Shea rounded out the top 5.
The final feature of the night was the Gladiators. On lap 1, Jason Brown slowed and Robert Graham had nowhere to go but the back of the brand new #112. Both were okay, but the cars weren't as fortunate. David Anthony spun on lap 4 and would have some work to do if he wanted a 'money finish' on the night. Lap 12 saw the S&S Roofing Cars of Larry Langston and Steve Cox almost collide as Langston had lost his wheel. Langston's wheel was long gone as it bounced over the backstretch fence. The third Green/White-Checkered of the night wasn't enough for Steve Cox to make it 5-0 in 2011, but Scott Sullivan doesn't mind. Sullivan was 1st with Cox 2nd, Reid Christensen 3rd, David Anthony drove back to 4th, and Jerry Taylor was last of the 'money cars' in 5th.
Bubba Raceway Park is in action July 16th with the Top Gun Sprint Car Series in race 1 of 6 in their Bubba Raceway Park season, the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks return, Young Gun Sprints, Double Feature- 2 races where 2 wins means 100 points!- for the Late Models, and Gladiators.

Rainy day in downtown Mahon.
... John later fixed a few mor leaks. Had dinner at a beautiful fish restuarant with some old friends - very pleasant evening. Bought food for our trip back to Majorca and plan to leave Mahon tomorrow morning circa10am. Ian sends huis best wishes to Mar and Denise and looks forward to meeting up on Saturday or the next few days. Happy days.
Chilling in Mahon
John writing the blog today.
Well another day in paradise, albeit overcast today (welcome to september). Finished drying out the boat just my bedding and a few teeshirts to go.
We were invited to lunch by Peter and Anthea two very old friends of Ians, we were picked up by Peters skipper Andy in a big rib ...
Ley day
Active day on the boat today although sailing miles much reduced - John cleaned and dried a pretty wet boat after yesterday's sail. Hard work aside we had time for a pleasant breakfast, lunch and now having lamb/sea bass for supper. Mahon an interesting town - quieter today as now entering the low season - maybe the marina prices will drop. Walked up into the old town before food looking at the sights! but now back on the waterside for food. Tomorrow may be even less active.
Arrived in the capital
We really did leave on time this morning. 7am and we left our mouring almost silently. A perfect first two to three hours on one tack up the southerly coast of the island - the last couple of hours was a bit painful as the sea swellbuilt up and the wind shifted. So plenty of tacking ...
Left ciutadella
... instructions to me. John did the tricky anchoring bit at the end. Paddled into town for supper Weather forecast tomorrow more of the same so should be fine sailing. Enjoying ourselves.
P.s. ian is a blind bugger, so I have had to edit this, or no one would understand it, ( dont worry he cant read this)
On a serious note it is very fine that we are back sailing together ...

A sexually-attractive female newsanchor or reporter on TV. Amount of "babe"-itude is often increased by the heavy amount of makeup, lipstick and teased hair used to attract viewers. Often used as a derisive symbol of the shallowness of TV news, or else as the objects of desire by salivating male viewers.
I know that she's telling us how hundreds of people are being held hostage in the Middle East, but I just can't get past that newsbabe's full, pouting lips and sparkling white teeth.

Student Code of Conduct
As a student enrolled in Saint Xavier University, you assume an obligation to conduct yourself in a manner compatible with the University's function as an educational institution. The Student Code of Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook online. As a student participating in a SXU study abroad program, you are bound to the Student Code of Conduct just as you would be while taking classes on SXU's campuses in Chicago and Orland Park.
Important Reminder: You will have more interaction with SXU professors and staff while studying abroad than a typical student does on campus. You will see faculty and staff outside of the classroom because of the structure of these programs. Even though you will probably eat dinner with faculty/staff, see them doing their shopping and go on field trips with them, they are still employees of Saint Xavier University and you are still a student. So, you should conduct yourself according to the same rules that you would here on campus. You should show them the same respect they are given here on campus and you should address and treat them accordingly.
Violations of the Student Code of Conduct will be reported to the dean of students by the study abroad program. The Office of the Dean of Students will decide in consultation with the Center for International Education whether the sanctions should be immediate or upon return to campus. Failure to adhere to the SXU Student Code of Conduct, especially behavior that is a danger to you, others or the program, may result in immediate administrative suspension, which would require dismissal from the study abroad program. Being out of the country may increase the likelihood that misconduct would be seen as endangering you, others or the program. Keep in mind that behavior that might go unnoticed on campus is more likely to be noticed abroad because of the close proximity of faculty and staff affiliated with your study abroad program.
The following excerpts from the SXU Student Code of Conduct are provided for the purpose of discussion at Study Abroad Orientation. You are responsible for knowing the content of the SXU Student Code of Conduct, which is available in its entirety and in its most updated form in the Student Handbook.
Prohibited Conduct
Examples of non academic misconduct include but are not limited to the following:
- Underage possession/consumption of alcohol, endangering behavior while intoxicated, disorderly conduct while intoxicated
- Possession, use or sale of illegal drugs, controlled substances, narcotics, drug paraphernalia or any hallucinogen without a medical prescription or appropriate authority.
- Inappropriate, disruptive or disrespectful behaviors that evidence poor adjustment to the community
- Engaging in illegal and/or unethical activities, whether or not legal charges are filed.
- Any form of coercive sexual behavior including sexual assault and sexual harassment.

Today a federal court in San Francisco dismissed in its entirety a lawsuit Chevron Corporation filed against Cristobal Bonifaz, a human rights lawyer who had previously lost a case he filed against the energy giant. The earlier action was filed on behalf of indigenous residents of the Ecuador Amazon rainforest over their claims they became ill with cancer from oil pollution of their water supply. The claims were later dismissed, and Chevron subsequently filed the current lawsuit against their lawyer, Cristobal Bonifaz, claiming he knew there was no basis for the environmental case.
A May 12, 2010 ruling by the Federal District Court had previously dismissed all but one part of Chevron's case against Mr. Bonifaz under a unique California law known as the anti-SLAPP statute, which protects First Amendment rights to, among other things, bring lawsuits. The ruling today also dismisses Chevron's one remaining claim. The Court ruled that even after having had the opportunity to question Mr. Bonifaz and others, Chevron was unable to produce any evidence that suggested he knew one of the plaintiffs did not have cancer. Under the California law, Chevron will be required to pay the legal expenses Mr. Bonifaz incurred in defeating Chevron's case. Chevron had sought $4 million in damages from Mr. Bonifaz, a solo practitioner who lives in Massachusetts and is a native of Ecuador. According to Mr. Bonifaz's legal filings, Chevron's now-dismissed lawsuit is just one chapter in a legal battle dating back over 20 years in which Chevron and its predecessor, Texaco, have fought to avoid paying the costs associated with cleaning up after their oil drilling operations in the Ecuadorean rainforest.
Mr. Bonifaz is represented by Jacqueline Scott Corley of Kerr & Wagstaffe LLP, San Francisco, California.
