From the moment I saw the image posted in this thread ==> New promotional Pre-pro Fett pic from 1981 I wanted to do the stencils of this particular armor, more exactly the Promo #2 armor. Recently rapstertee re-posted a higher resolution of the image on his Photobucket album which I added to the end of the fore mentioned thread. But here's the image of the Promo #2 armor with the Pre-Pro #1 helmet, the ESB right gauntlet and one of the Sandy left gauntlets:
The same setup was present in a Palitoy promotional tour too:
And here is the armor with the Sandy helmet:
Because these are the only images of this armor, the accuracy of the stencils was limited to the visible areas (the chest plates, the center diamond, the abdominal plate and the front side of the shoulder bells) while the rest of the armor is a mash-up of the Pre-Pro #2 and Promo #1 armors.
Another great thing is that these stencils were made using my own armor templates (which are pretty close in size to WOF's large armor templates) that I will make it public in the near future. Now on to the stencils...

While I'm 99.99% sure that this stencil will not be used on any armor, my goal is to have stencils for each of the suits that existed pre and post ESB and ROTJ. My only missing link is now the Sandy helmet stencil...

The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) was an attempt to create a neoliberal free trade agreement that expanded the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to every country in North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, except Cuba. Negotiations began right after the completion of NAFTA in 1994 and were supposed to have been completed by January 1, 2005.
But an exciting thing happened: the FTAA was not signed. In fact just the opposite. Led by strong social movements across the hemisphere, governments of the countries of Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil said NO to a model that has increased poverty across the globe, and are instead searching for a better model of regional integration. After several rounds of negotiations and summits greeted by civil society counter summits and protests, the negotiation for the FTAA were abandoned in November 2004.

Wing Chung Ng and poster for Cantonese opera
conference in Hong Kong
UTSA professor keynotes Hong Kong conference
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Sept. 20, 2007)--Wing Chung Ng, UTSA associate professor of history, recently returned from a Hong Kong conference, where he presented the keynote speech, "Cantonese Opera as Cultural History."

The Sept. 5-9 conference, "Cantonese Opera: Historical Development Over the Last Two Hundred Years," was sponsored by organizations from Hong Kong, Guangzhou (Canton) and Macao and hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of Music.
Scholars from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan, Singapore, Australia and the United States represented disciplines including history, music, literature, anthropology, religion, drama, communications and folklore, among others.
"My keynote combined a historiographic examination of the multidisciplinary scholarship of the past 50 years on this theatrical genre," said Ng. "It also included an experimental discussion of critical issues through the lens of local, national and transnational history."
Additionally, conferees had the opportunity to discuss Cantonese opera with some of the best actors and musicians of the art. The organizers also arranged an exhibition of scholarly works and historical artifacts as well as a public opera performance during the conference.

Mr Reese, very happy to have you as a GM and your staff of scouts. Giants choice of QB compared tothe other choice made by another NY team shows Reese's and his scouts' ability to determine character and quality of attitude and talent is over and above that of another NY team who if I remember sold all to move up in the draft to choose Sanchez of whom his college coach said he was no where near ready to be an NFL QB. Nassib happy to be a Giant and to be good enough to actually be chosen and accepting of the fact concerning when his number was called.
Comparing Geno Smith's attitude of being "all put out" at not being chosen #1 or not even being chosen in the first round and then announcing he was leaving at the end of the first round shows stupidity and a lack of leadership quailty and because he attaches the blame to his agents. NFL execs say the reasons for his drop was not his agents.. I'd venture a guess that Mr Smith in no way is a replacement for Sanchez because he has a self-inflated assessment of his talent and an immature ego, and that's a shame and a sure path to failure, while Ryan Nassib will quietly learn and improve and become an outstanding backup and a more than quality replacement for a starting job in the future. Mr Smith, learn quickly, you are not entitled to anything! Just saying what I observed, we have a value pick by Reese and the other NY team has a problem on their hands.

Beckley Woman Pleads Guilty to Embezzlement and Filing a False Tax Return
Deborah Mitchell, age 58, of Harper Road, Beckley, West Virginia, pled guilty before United States District Judge Thomas E. Johnston to a two-count information charging her with embezzling $1.3 million from RESA I from 1999 to 2006 and to filing a false income tax return during tax year 2005.
Mitchell, the former Executive Secretary and Financial Manager, admitted to embezzling the money from RESA 1 by having checks issued to individuals and companies who were not legitimate RESA vendors. Mitchell admitted to receiving the checks issued to the individuals and depositing the checks into her own bank account and her daughter's. Mitchell further admitted to sending large amounts of RESA I money to her credit card company and to her daughter's companies in Columbia, Kentucky.
The case was investigated by the Beckley Police Department, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Service, the United States Department of Education-Office of Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
At her sentencing scheduled for September 5, 2006, Mitchell faces 13 years imprisonment, a fine of $500,000 and an order of restitution in the amount of $1,313,091.22.

The apartment has been furnished mostly in art nouveau style. The art nouveau style is very wide spread in Prague, the city giving the name to this apartment. The apartment has been furnished with original antique furniture with a fine decoration taste. In 98 square meters the guest will find two double bedrooms, a living room as well as a big kitchen with dining area and a spacious bathroom. There is also a wide hall on entering the apartment. The apartment can accommodate up to eight guests.
Both bedrooms are equipped with majestic bedroom sets, original works of master carpenters of French and German origin in the early twentieth century. In the master bedroom there is a double bed (200 cm x 140 cm) together with a very nice wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a bedside table, all original pieces in German art nouveau style. This bedroom is very bright having a 3 meters x 2 meters big glass window. In the second bedroom the guest will find a very nice set of furniture in French art nouveau style including a double bed (200 cm x 140 cm), a wardrobe and two bedside tables. Tasty paintings and illustrations on the walls together with appropriate ceiling and table lamps round the delightful atmosphere.
The living room has a large sofa that offers a comfortable sit place to the guests. It can eventually be converted in the sleep place for up to two persons (200 cm x 160 cm). A 32" flat screen TV with local and international channels can be watched in this room. A blue-ray-player is also the guest's disposition. The living room is also very bright having a 3 meters x 2 meters big glass window
The kitchen is excellently equipped with oven, microwave, four hobs, fridge, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, dishwasher as well as a complete set of dishes, glasses and cutlery. In the dining table there is place for up to 8 guests as well as a sofa that can eventually converted into the sleep place for two children. There is also a wall TV in the kitchen.
The apartment has a modern bathroom with a spacious shower, a big sink and a comfortable toilet. There is a hairdryer at the guest's disposition. The bathroom walls are made of a nice marble in a brown tone.
The floor is wood parquet in the whole apartment (except the bathroom). The apartment has central heating. The building dates back to early last century and has a beautiful facade. The apartment is in the courtyard, so it is very quiet. First class bed sheets as well as towels will be provided.
There is WiFi Internet access in the apartment included in the apartment's price. Up to four free bicycles are also available upon request.
The apartment is located at the Prinzregentenstrasse 93, 81677 Munich, Germany. This is just 50 meters from the famous Prinzregentenplatz (Prince Regent Square) in Munich, which is also a subway and bus station. With the subway you are in 10 minutes in the Marienplatz, the central square in Munich. It is a privileged location in the prestigious Bogenhausen quarter of Munich. All shops and facilities for daily needs are within walking distance. The atmosphere in the Prince Regent Square with its many recreational opportunities such as Prince Regent Theatre, Prinzregentenbad, English Garden and the renowned galleries and quality restaurants ensure the continued attractiveness of the neighborhood as a favorite of Munich.
The apartment does not have a private parking or garage available but the apartment's area (Bogenhausen) is a free parking area. You can park with no cost in almost any street in the area. The parking availability in the area depends on the day hour, but it takes no more than 5 minutes in average to find a free lot. If you are planning to move around, outside Munich, it is not a bad idea to have a car. For movements inside Munich it is probably not a very good idea (there are lot of paid parking areas in the city).

Celebrations (birthdays, bachelor parties, New Year's, etc.) are not permitted in this apartment. If that is your intention please refrain to book this apartment.

Great location. Very close to Metro station and only 3 to 4 stops from city center. Supermarket 5mins walk around the corner. Bedrooms are decent size and all rooms well equipped. Hope to be able to stay again.
The flat was very nice. Alex answered rapidly to the questions I asked.
The only problem was that our car park was used by some else very often.
We had a wonderful time in Munich. The apartment has a very good location. It offers spacious rooms, with excellent comfort. Alex was friendly and very helpful. I recommand this apartment!
I had contact with Alex couple of times before our arrival, always received response really fast. Arrival was easy, parking the car as well. Nice apartment in central location (5 minute walk to Hauptbahnhof). Big bedrooms, decent bath room and well equipped kitchen. The place was modern and clean. As we stayed here for an exhibition we only where here to sleep and take a shower. For my next visit to Munich I will book this apartment again, we really liked it.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Alex's apartment. We were a party of 6 and there was plenty of room for all of us. The apartment faces a quiet courtyard. It was clean and well-equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was easy to communicate with Alex. We had a great stay and everything went so well for us during our visit to Munich!
We stayed at Alex's Munich apartment close to the train station for 2 nights. As a party of 5 we loved this space. Lots of room and privacy for everyone. Comfortable beds , modern amenities. This apartment offered the basics that we needed. The location is great we were able to walk to the Marienplatz area within 10-15 minutes. We really enjoyed our stay. Alex was very responsive and helpful since original booking. Thanks Alex !!
Excellent, clean and well-furnished apartment in great location.
100m from Prinzregentenplatz U-bahn station and only about 20-25 mins walk from centre.
Admin was excellent - Alex emailed detailed instructions on how to get there and how to get in (including the clever way to get the key!).
Also lots of useful leaflets and maps for Munich, including details of local shops and restaurants - not one but three Tegelmann supermarkets within a short walking distance, and a very good Indian restaurant (Swagat) very close by (all Brits and curry lovers take note!)
Overall, an excellent experience on both stays (for two days on our arrival in Munich, then two days at the end). Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially families of 4. Hope to go again some time!
Perfect size apartment for our family of 6. Clean and good facilities. Great location - close to transport, shops and restaurants.
Very good communication and easy check-in. The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood near a lightly traveled metro. Only problem was the broken toaster which popped the fuse. Alex responded right away and helped us get the electricity going again. No toast during our stay, but that was no disappointment as everything else was wonderful!
We enjoyed a great weekend in Munich. The flat was wonderful and next to the U-Bahn and S-Bahn to the city center.
It is a very good option to discover Munich.
Great job Alex!

What is in this article?:
- Commissioning for Schools
- Use Quality-Based Selection
- Sampling Repetitive Equipment
Sampling Repetitive Equipment
Many schools use large numbers of small HVAC equipment, such as cabinet heaters, reheat boxes, variable-air-volume (VAV) terminal units, fan-coil units, and exhaust fans. These items can be sampled to establish quality levels at a substantial savings compared with testing every single unit. Critical units should be sampled at a higher number than non-critical ones.
If no issues are found, comparable pieces of equipment likely have a similar high rate of accuracy. If errors are found, a new sample needs to be selected. If errors are found in the second sample, the entire lot should be tested.
Further, if a school only has two boilers, two chillers, two cooling towers, and six air-handling units, all of the equipment should be tested. If the school has 30 to 300 repetitive items, the equipment should be tested at a rate of 15 to 40 percent depending on criticality. More guidance on equipment sampling can be found in ASHRAE Guideline 1.1-2007, HVAC&R Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process.
An RFP should include a table of planned equipment and sampling rates the CxA must satisfy. A difference in Cx fees of 15 percent vs. 100 percent of 300 VAV boxes is huge. An RFP also should state that repeat testing after the first retest will be billed to the installing contractor and that the CxA will be reimbursed for the extra time required on the job. This puts the cost incentive for quality squarely in the lap of the installing contractors and will level the fee programs from the prospective Cx providers.
The "deliverable" section of an RFP provides another pointed explanation of what is expected from the CxA. Typical deliverables include a review of the owner's project requirements, a Cx plan, a design-review report, Cx specifications, a deficiency database (updated weekly during functional testing), systems manuals, a final report, a training verification plan, an off-season testing plan, and a warranty walk-through report.
The Cx RFP is the first step in a successful school construction project. When an owner assumes responsibility for defining a project's Cx quality assurance, he or she takes the first step in controlling the quality of the finished building. Start Cx early and right with an accurate and thoughtful RFP, and a quality project will follow.
A commissioning project manager for AKF Group LLC, a full-service engineering firm, Ron Wilkinson, PE, LEED AP, is an authority on commissioning Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System projects and sustainable buildings. He is the author of the first commissioning training program for LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations, the chair of the commissioning advisory committee of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment, and the recording secretary for American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Guideline Project Committee 0.2/1.2, The Commissioning Process for Existing Building Systems and Assemblies/The Commissioning Process for Existing HVAC&R Systems. An ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and an AIA Continuing Education Lecturer, he has spoken on commissioning practices internationally. He is a longtime member of HPAC Engineering's Editorial Advisory Board.
The team tasked with developing request for proposals for a school project should consist of:
- The district superintendent.
- A school-board member.
- A student representative.
- The district facilities manager.
- The operations and maintenance supervisor.
- An operations and maintenance staff member.
- A sustainable-design consultant.
- The project architect
(if already selected).
- The project engineer
(if already selected).
When commissioning (Cx) a school, several questions need to be asked. Try these for starters:
- What is the goal of the Cx process for this project?
- What equipment and systems must be included to meet the goal?
- What Cx tasks that must be included to meet that goal?
- What firms should be invited to propose on this project?
- What criteria will be used to select the Cx provider?

As the "future stater" White couldn't take Spires' job away. This year Rice went down so he finally got to start for 8 games. In games he started, he had 2 sacks. Now someone signs White to a 5 year deal. Good luck.

Reviews of this property
We are really happy with our stay in Edinburgh. We chose to repeat and stay at Jim's place and it was a great experience. Jim is very nice and even came to pick up us at the bus stop. The locaction of the appartment is simply great: 10 mins. walk from the city centre, it's very clean, quiet and comfy and it was as nice as our first time. We definitely recommend it!
Jim was a very kind host and the location of the room was very good but it was not so Clean in there niether in the room or the bath room. If you go for low budget it may can be Worth it.
Jim is the perfect host! He is very nice and he is a good adviser for the best places in Edinburgh. The house is very well localisated in the city.
It is a very good place for a tourist trip!
The location in New town is great - close to everything. The unit it self is sad! There are 48 stair steps to get to the 3rd floor unit. The apartment itself is just 3 rooms a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. There is no pace to go and sit except for your room. The house is dirty -- not just moderately unclean but dirty. I cleaned the knobs on the stove and the front door on the washing machine. Then I realized that I had paid a lot of money for this bedroom and I shouldn't have to clean. I always wore my sandals in the kitchen because the floor was sticky. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a month or more. In our room there were two different places that we could put our clothes but they were filled with one of Jim's friends clothes and extra pillows and blankets. We did have a closet to hang clothing so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases totally.
Please understand Jim is a great guy -- he waited for us to come to help carry our suitcases up all those fights of stairs and he was helpful as to where to go and what to see. He just needed to hire a cleaning person once a week to clean the rooms.
Very friendly host, who told us about the sights and nice palces in Edenburg, and recomanded a very good and cheep restaurant to eat very good haggis. In the house and the kitchen is was not very clean, but we had a nice room and a good warm shower.
Take attention by parking your car, You have to pay for parking and it's quite expensive .
Jim is actually very nice and easy to work with, and - very important - the bed is good. However, the traffic roars all night outside on the cobblestones, and the sun rises in the Scottish summer very early on. I had an eye shield (meant for air travel) and buy earplugs so I could sleep. For traffic Jim can not help, but good, thick curtains would make a big difference.
Jim ist tatsächlich sehr nett und umgänglich, und - sehr wichtig - das Bett ist gut. Der Verkehr rauscht jedoch die ganze Nacht draussen auf dem Kopfsteinpflaster, und die Sonne geht im schottischen Sommer sehr früh auf. Ich musste eine Augenblende (gemeint für Flugreisen) und Ohrstöpsel kaufen, damit ich schlafen konnte. Für den Verkehr kann Jim nichts, aber gute, dicke Vorhänge würden einen grossen Unterschied machen.
Fantastic location, near transport, you need no car and no public transport to reach everything on foot. Jim is a very nice and friendly host. We enjoyed :-)
Fantastische Lage, verkehrsgünstig gelegen, man benötigt kein Auto und auch keinen öffentlichen Nahverkehr, alles fussläufig zu erreichen. Jim ist ein sehr netter und freundlicher Gastgeber. Wir haben es genossen :-)

The Bush Returns!

A bevy of celebs have recently spoken up about growing out their hair "down there." Is the full bush here to stay?

Is the post-porn pussy hirsute? Have we exposed ourselves to such a frenzy of full-frontal hairlessness on the Internet that we're seeking a little natural shade in the nether regions?
Recently, Jenny McCarthy, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Busy Philipps have spoken publicly about how they rock out their boxes with some au naturel tuftage. Playboy's very own December 2013 cover girl, Kate Moss, also sports a little sprinkling of hair in both the gorgeous 60th anniversary issue of Playboy as well as in a hot, Internet-beloved shoot with LOVE Magazine. Are Hollywood's blonde glamazons bringing the bush back single-handedly? Is the trend catching on like a house on fire? How are women around the globe primping the jungle between their legs in the new millennium?
An online pharmacy poll by UKMedix quizzed 1,870 women about their pubes and 51 percent reported that they don't "style or groom their pubic hair," whereas 45 percent of respondents copped to "no longer bother[ing] to keep up the grooming" and 62 percent fessed up that their partners "prefer the natural look."
Another survey from Nads, a waxing brand, asked 1,000 gentlemen about their pubic grooming preferences for women. The most popular response was "trimmed and tidy." Forty-three percent of the guys claimed to prefer their women to look as natural as possible with a "Bermuda triangle," trimmed hair and waxed edges, while 17 percent still love up on the Brazilian or landing strip look.
Is all this regrowth action born of pure laziness? Have women simply given up on themselves? Or are they freeing themselves from the time-consuming hassle of epic hair removal?
It may just be that landing strips for one and all have simply fallen out of favor. Actress Gaby Hoffmann, in Sebastián Silva's 2013 indie flick Crystal Fairy, and again in 2014's third season of Girls, showcased her glorious, as-mother-nature-intended bush. Iconic herald of all trending topics, Lady Gaga herself showcased some thatch on the December 2013 cover of Candy, a trans style magazine.
Furthering the bush momentum, Caitlin Moran's 2012 feminist bestseller, How to Be a Woman, throws out a kind of battle cry for pubic hair, declaring, only slightly tongue-in-cheekily, that every dame should proudly sport "a big hairy minge, a lovely furry moof that looks, when she sits naked, as if she has a marmoset sitting on her lap." (Note: marmosets are indeed very cute, and infinitely pettable, little monkeys.)
Even porn actresses are taking the plunge. Renowned porn star, acrobat and writer Stoya is vocal about issues of body hair on her website. In an entry she titles "Way Too Much Information About My Ladyparts," she says, "Personally, I like to have options with my bush," adding, "I like to be able to be completely bald or have a lush patch of fur in the front." But she does have some firm thoughts about boundaries. She writes, "I am, however, completely certain that I want the hair on my outer labia (or as my former manager Adella used to call it 'the undercarriage') gone," she says, "See, it gets caught in my lacy underpants sometimes and hurts when it gets pulled out." Ouch!
In the end, a woman's right to choose how to dress or bare her muff should be something we neither shame nor judge, but, rather, enjoy and celebrate, and possibly lavish with compliments. As Coco Chanel said, "There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time."
So long as everyone steers clear of Vajazzling.

Story highlights
- It's time to think about a sunny getaway
- Fodor's beach finder tool helps travelers pick destinations that fit their preferences
- Share photos of your favorite beaches on iReport.com
It's during the rain, sleet and snow of winter that a warm and sunny beach vacation starts to sound particularly alluring.
Which one to choose? Hawaii, Florida, Belize, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, St. Kitts, Martinique and Isla Mujeres in Mexico all sound lovely this time of year.
But what do you want when you get there? Romance, a deserted beach, a beach party or child-friendly travel? And can you even afford them? Fodor's 80 Degrees Beach Finder tool can help narrow down the options by location, type and price point.
"We know from firsthand experience that not all beaches are a perfect fit for every beach goer," said Arabella Bowen, Fodor's executive editorial director. "You may want to go to a beach but don't know which beach will make your perfect vacation. Do you want somewhere remote and quiet, water sports, a lively nightlife scene, shopping or family friendly?"
The Fodor's beach finder tool matches beaches with travelers' interests and budgets and offers hotel and restaurant choices to fit within those parameters.
What do the dollar signs mean? If you want a hotel room for $150 or less per night, choose the $ option. For $250 or less per night, choose the $$ option. For $350 per night or less, choose the $$$ option. For more than $350 per night, choose the $$$$ option.
Click through the gallery to see Bowen's exclusive picks for CNN.
Please share your favorite beaches -- and what you like to do when you're visiting -- on our iReport assignment. We'll follow up with our readers' picks.

Savoury pastry
Hi Everyone. I'm home in the UK for Christmas but I don't have my 'Jamie At Home' recipe book with me. I want to make a pie for some friends but I can't find Jamie's savoury pastry on any of the websites, can anyone post it for me please? I have other shortcurst recipes but I particularly want to try the one from the 'At Home' book as I made the sweet pastry he lists and it was really lovely. Happy Christmas to all.

Re: Savoury pastry
500g plain flour
200g cubed lard
50g grated cheddar cheese
sea salt
sprig of rosemary (leaves picked)
few sprigs fresh thyme (leaves picked)
2 large eggs (beaten)
splash of milk
flour, to dust
Put flour, lard, cheese and salt in a food processor and pulse for 20 seconds or until mixture is fine and crumbly. Add the rosemary and thyme leaves.
(I will add, make sure everything is as cold as possible. Put the processor in the fridge for a few hours. Put the fat in the freezer for half an hour, before you start)
Add the eggs and milk. Pulse to bring the mixture together.
Scoop the mixture onto a clean, floured work surface and pat it flat. When you have a compact, flat round, wrap in clingfilm (I would suggest you use greaseproof, instead. Make sure it has been in the fridge for a few hours, as well) and place in the fridge for at least half an hour.

REVIEW: "A Cold Flaws Zeppelin,But the Legend Still Lives"
WHEN GUITARIST Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant are in top form, the music of Led Zeppelin possesses an awesome power. Friday night's Zeppelin concert in Pittsburgh's Civic Arena fell short of what could have been. But, the British quartet is such a fine band that even less than best is still awfully good.
Early in the more than two-and-one half hour show, which drew 15,000, Zeppelin performed a new composition, "Sick Again," from their forthcoming two-album release.
The song was an appropriate choice for the band. Plant, who normally has an incredibly high range, was suffering from a cold.
PRIOR TO the concert he had promoters combing Pittsburgh grocery stores in search of honey for his throat.
And if Plant finally did get his honey, it didn't seem to help his voice.
He sang in a lower range. This, coupled with the fact his voice was cracking and came across like the gravely Rod Stewart's, seriously flawed the show.
But the patrons who had paid as high as $8.50 a seat didn't seem to let this bother them. They went to see a modern rock legend and that they did see.
PLANT made a nice, if often unsuccessful, attempt at trying to keep his vocals as close to the recorded versions as possible. Former Yardbird Page lived up to his reputation as a virtuoso lead guitarist.
He was into his flashy guitar runs almost immediately. His playing throughout the night merited the silver stars that he wore on his pants legs.
After opening with "Rock and Roll" and blending that number into "Sick Again," Plant greeted the crowd.
He told them the band intended to cover the spectrum of the changes it has been through in the past six and one-half years. To represent this time span, Zeppelin offered "In My Time of Dying," an electric blues from the new album, "Physical Graffiti," due in three weeks: "Over the Hills and Far Away, from the "Houses of the Holy" LP, and tastes of early albums.
John Paul Jones, bassist-keyboard man, was featured on mellotron on "Kashmir" a new one. Drummer John Bonham had the spotlight on "Moby Dick," from "Led Zeppelin II."
He turned in a first-rate solo, but it was too long, serving as a not-so-sly way for the other members of the group to leave the stage for a break.
The band returned to present a, selection from the first album, and conclude with the Zeppelin classic, "Stairway to Heaven." If any song emphasized Plant's ailing voice, it was this one.
An encore brought a medley including "Whole Lot of Love" and "Black Dog." A second encore had the band into "Communication Breakdown."
Lighting and staging were superb. (By REX RUTKOSKI, Feb. 1975)

1975 Pittsburgh Pa Civic Arena
I was there! I have been getting into Zep lately got their new CD with the DVD oh Jimmy Page looks so good . then just got Rolling Stone and he is 63 with white hair He still looks GOOOD
I was there it was my senior year. My class chose "Stairway to Heaven" as our class song. I cant remember a whole lot of the show by I will never forget the opening of the Dome of the Civic Arena and releasing all those doves to the Pittsburgh sky. I will never forget that , in those days of going to concerts all the time who would have known that all these bands would ever be this big. Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite and I hope I get the opportunity to see them again.

Hello Beesource members!
Have seen some familiar names from another recently joined forum so I may be familiar to some (hope that's a good thing!)
Began beekeeping last year. One hive and expecting to expand this season. Was greatly relieved to see the girls out for cleansing flights about a week ago. Temps have been below freezing since with daily flurries! Still watching snow melt (and build up again intermittantly) on March 22 so I'm impatient for Spring to demonstrate that it's more than a rumor!
I build my own equipment and a recently purchased 12.5" Dewalt thickness planer is hungry to meet my collection of rough cut lumber
Looking forward to meeting more area beeks!

Drawn to Art: French Artists and Art Lovers in 18th-Century Rome
21 Oct 2011 - 02 Jan 2012
In the 18th century, Rome was the principal crossroads for the European community, and an important source of influence for French artists who rose to prominence in the Eternal City. This exhibition highlights the flowering of French art in 18th-century Rome, focusing on some one hundred works. Visitors will have the opportunity to view an exceptional selection of drawings and prints as well as a number of paintings by many important French artists of the period, including Hubert Robert, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Jacques-Louis David.Organized by the National Gallery of Canada in collaboration with the Musée des beaux-arts de Caen.

text: This is a mess from many angles. No 4th quarter offense. Case in point. Just at the 4:00 mark and Jennings with the ball outside who gives it to Stuckey outside (can't drive) who passes to Josh outside to shoot a jumper. Watch that sequence. That is the Piston offense. Later, another Jennings miss but Andre cleans it up. Good Andre. Stuckey made a tough shot (wow) but then Stuckey driving into nothing and driving again. Any team can stop telegraphed drives in crunch time or going to Monroe one against three (on other days) or posting Josh against the whole front line (at other times). And you are not going to get much free throw production if any in the front line are fouled. How do you win scoring 16 points in the 4th quarter? What lead is going to hold up with that production? Why can't the coaching can't get more production from this team? Ok. Let's go to another area. So the team brings in Bynum and Singler as the first subs in along with Stuckey (another great game from him but he is not as effective in crunch time). So here I guess you can blame Joe. This team has no bench other than Stuckey to rely on. The good is that Stuckey and Monroe were highlighted. Monroe should get the ball a lot. The Pistons need to know and the league needs to know what he can do. Monroe scored a lot but again is not even playing most of crunch time. And how effective is his game during crunch time? The Pistons need to find out with his contract looming.

Go ahead and type in your family name - find every place you've lived, your phone number, maps to where you live now, etc.
How do you get removed from such lists? I am a very private individual. I have an unlisted number. I've removed my info from Google. I use a po box for my mail. I choose not to put myself on the Internet. How do these people obtain our information? What recourse do I have?

I didn't get my name removed from Google searches, I only got it so that searches on my name and telephone didn't allow for mapping of my location. If that would be useful to you, please post again, I will try to dig up the email from which I learned how to do this.

Our listing included much more than the last name and initials only that are listed with our telephone number with Pacbell.
Whitepages.com FAQ gives instructions to remove information:
Click on "Listing Detail" under your name and information. Then scroll down about 2/3 to "WhitePages.com Privacy Options" and click on "Is this you? Remove your listing" The screen that comes up asks you to select a reason (incorrect information, general privacy concerns etc.) then type in a random word shown. After selecting the Remove button a screen told me the information would be removed in 3-5 business days.

You can try removing your info from various sites, but it will pop up again when they buy new info, or on other sites that you didn't know about or that are new. Plus sites sell detailed info a la credit reports to anyone for cash.
I also see that to remove info from that particular site you have to send them info like your Social Security number and birth date, I think not :-) although the irritating fact is that they probably have that already.
Just to make it more thrilling, a lot of the data is bad. That site has me completely scrambled together with my ex-sister-in-law, who has the same first and last names, and who is a credit deadbeat.

Murder suspects appear in court for the first time
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Two teenagers charged with the murder of another Columbia teen appeared in court Friday.
Joshua D. Murray and Nicholas R. Thomas were charged with the first-degree murder of Tre'Veon Marshall on Thursday.
Both men waived the reading of the charges and the judge ordered a bond investigation to determine whether to lower bail.
Thomas' bond is currently set at $2 million cash-only and Murray's is at $1 million cash-only.
First-degree murder is a charge that could carry the death penalty.
Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight says he needs to investigate the case further to decide if the death penalty will be an option.
"I must give reasonable notice to defense attorneys before I seek the death penalty. At this stage we are still investigating the case. I have not made a decision whether or not to seek the death penalty," said Knight.
Knight added that he would consult with the Marshall family before deciding on the death penalty.
The Marshall family is still suffering the loss of their son along with the Rankin family, who lost their son in April 2012. The two murders could be related, according to court documents.
Court documents say Marshall was friends with Lamarr Mayfield, the teenager who admitted to killing Bryan Rankin, Jr.
Rankin was friends with Murray and Thomas.
"All I can say to everyone is these kids out here doing these murders and all that, there is no reason for that at all," said Brian Rankin Sr. "We still don't know why my son was killed. It is going back and forth, it's stupid, it's childish, I don't condone it and I want it to stop."

Posted by Nate Elliott on October 5, 2010
Something amazing has happened to social media in the past couple of years: Overall adoption of social technologies has effectively reached saturation. We're now at the point where more than 80% of US online users engage with social media - and although there's been some hand-wringing over the fact social media adoption has plateaued at that level, let's keep things in perspective: 80% engage with social media! That's as many people as own a DVD player or use SMS.
This kind of scale gives marketers the potential to generate reach through social media. Sure, it's a new and unfamiliar kind of reach for many marketers - rather than just shouting uniform messages at millions of people, they must engage directly with their audiences and then hope those audiences turn around and talk to and influence millions more users. But as we've proven, this new model of reach can also provide the same kind of massive scale that the old reach models did: Just a tiny handful of Mass Connectors will create 256 billion influence impressions in the US this year.

'These games are bloody hard,' Harry said loudly, repeatedly, while looming behind me and staring at my laptop screen. 'Probably the closest thing to digital masochism I've ever seen.'
But I was determined to impress the office with my analytical skill and unbiased opinions and, besides, I had never come across a game that I couldn't bend to my will after a few hours. With anticipation in full flow, I started the game and prepared to give my best.
Three hours later, I still hadn't completed the first mission. The first mission. I tried lowering the difficulty settings. I tried different approaches. With a mounting sense of failure and humiliation, I considered downloading the demo of the original Men of War so I could practice at home before a second attempt. And it was at that point I realised something...

Tuition for the 2016-2017 academic year is $41,200 with no distinction made between in-state and out-of-state residents. There are also additional activity, health services, and insurance fees. Please visit Fiscal Services to view a breakdown of the tuition and fee schedule.
Estimated living expenses, including housing, food, transportation, books and supplies, and federal loan fees, are $23,613. This estimate is based on a nine month academic calendar and is the same whether the student is living on or off campus.
Most full-time MSL students live off campus, where there are many options available in different San Francisco neighborhoods at various price ranges. Off-campus housing is coordinated by the UC Hastings Student Information Center (SIC). Check out their Off-Campus Housing Guide. The SIC also hosts the online UC Hastings Housing Board, which both new and returning students are welcome to use for finding apartments and roommates. The Housing Board is a Google-based discussion site and it works best with Gmail accounts. Once you are admitted to the MSL program, you will be sent an invitation to join the Housing Board.
Since UC Hastings is easily accessible by public transportation, students do not need a car to live off-campus. Hastings is approximately a three-minute walk from the Civic Center, a major stop for both MUNI (within San Francisco) and BART (regional, including East Bay) transit systems.
For those students who drive, the college does own a parking garage one block from campus. For those who wish to look into on-campus housing, UC Hastings is one of a limited number of urban law schools with housing devoted exclusively to its students. To download an application form online, please contact UC Hastings' Housing Department. We do recommend that you apply for housing early.

I like Mclemore a lot, he reminds me of Paul George
Although I just read that the suns GM would be ecstatic if McLemore fell to 5 , but take everything you hear with a grain of salt.
Time to revisit the Gordon to Suns trade. It cannot be official until mid-July, but Pels should be all-in if McClemore falls to #5. Then they have options at #6 depending on who is left.
I think the Suns would have no interest. I think they realize they dodged a massive bullet and would be content with Oladipo or McLemore.
Orlando has locked into Trey Burke according to a league source
Unless McLemore just was disastrous in his workout with Phoenix, I just can't see them passing on him.
Sources tell ESPN that Kansas SG Ben McLemore was out of shape in recent workouts for the Suns and Magic. McLemore reportedly "struggled to keep up." It's not a good look for a player whose assertiveness and motivation was already being questioned thanks to a bunch of passive games in college.
I don't see that comparison at all. Not close.
I don't think Paul George was anywhere near the scorer coming out of college.
Most glaring are his limitations as a shot-creator. He has average stationary ball handling skills and is capable of dribbling the ball on the perimeter at the WAC level, but when it comes to exploding by his man and getting into the teeth of the defense – he presently lacks that skill set. He plays a bit too upright and must learn how to play lower to the ground, which should enhance his ability to utilize his athleticism. Tightening up his ball-handling skills and improving his ability to create in the half-court will be a key part of his development moving forward.
Another reason is his love for the 3 point shot. George attempts 5.8 3-pointers a game, 6th in our database amongst all small forwards. At least one or two a night is of the settling nature – either an attempt early in the shot clock or a quick look in transition with no teammates in position to rebound. As his attempts per game have increased from 4.1 to 5.8, his percentage has dipped from an absurd 44.7% last season to 35.8% this season—a pretty dramatic drop-off.
George is not a very good off the dribble shooter at this point in time, but you would never guess that by the way he plays at times. He's made just 5/28 attempts (a dismal 18%) of that nature in the 14 game-tapes we have at our disposal—showing how far off he is in this area. His talent level as a shot-maker should allow him to improve here down the road, but he should definitely try to avoid falling in love with his mid-range pull-up.
With that said, his shot is still one of his major selling points. He has an effortless stroke and unlimited range and in today's NBA, teams are always looking for players who can help spread the floor. He doesn't elevate particularly well on his shot, but with his excellent size, long wingspan and quick release, he doesn't have a problem getting it off.
Another strong aspect of his game is in his ability to see the floor and his willingness to share the ball. With good size on the perimeter he can see over the defense and make difficult passes in the half court, averaging slightly over 3 assists a game which makes him one of the better passing small forwards in college basketball.
I think the Suns would have no interest. I think they realize they dodged a massive bullet and would be content with Oladipo or McLemore.

New guns come coated with protective material that needs to be removed, before you shoot the gun.
However... (see below)
Did you notice whether the gun was accurate, or whether the gun's accuracy seemed to deteriorate while you were shooting it? Inaccuracy would indicate leading, and progressive inaccuracy would indicate a leading build-up.
This may also be the source of the smoke and smell, although I would not ordinarily suspect CCI cartridges to have been mis-loaded or otherwise badly manufactured. CCI has a good reputation. Maybe the "smoke" was atomized lead, spraying out of the gun's muzzle. This would certainly smell wrong.
I am suspicious of "bargains" purchased at gun shows.
Maybe the gun's barrel is defective, or it had been internally rust-pitted due to poor storage.
I suggest carefully and completely cleaning the gun's bore, using lots of elbow grease, and also using up a couple of bronze bore brushes in the process. In short, "get the lead out." Get it all out, all the way down to bare steel.
Then dry the bore thoroughly, and, using some sort of light source from one end, examine the bore carefully from the other end. Light source: mirror, acrylic-plastic light pipe, even a slip of bright white paper as a reflector. Not the direct light of a bright flashlight: you'll ruin your eye.
Look for anything that does not seem to be mirror-smooth and bright. It could be roughness, bad polishing, or even a ring (uniform bulge) in the barrel where someone shot a bullet through another bullet that had gotten stuck. (I suspect a barrel ring, because that would most definitely start the leading process.)
See what you can find.
I assume that you can buy a replacement barrel, if you have to.
But it won't be a bargain then.

filling it worked like a champ.
My 12 round clip from DPH arms doesn't fit. Has anyone had this problem. Should I try to file the ledge that it is held in place with, or just return it? It seems like it just needs to go in a little further and it will clip in. But the stock one that came with the gun doesn't have this problem.
Glad you got it figured out.
And thanks for the heads up, I got two of these and haven't messed with them yet.
All mags require some work to make them fit properly. I even had to take some rough edges of my AGPs to make it fit better eventhough they already fit with no problems. That extra bit of work goes in a long way towards quick mag changes.
Small filing effort gave big results. Actually worked better than the 5 round mag that came with my Saiga 12 which dragged on the sides and had to be polished up to glide as well as the new 12 round clip.

First off let me say that I'm not in any way affiliated with Kelly's. (other than being a customer) I e-mailed them today asking if they'd consider making 1-1/4 wide frames and they said that they would consider it if there was enough positive feedback. I know that many of you cut your frames down to 1-1/4 wide.
So the first question is why cut them down? The best reason that I have found is that the spacing is more what they'd naturally draw worker cell to. It will allow for 11 frames in a 10 frame box or 9 frames in a 8 frame box. I recently read a post that Michael bush linked his site to that speaks much better than I would / can to reasons for having the frames 1-1/4" instead of 1-3/8". Here's the link to his site. . .
So here's the thing. Kelly's is open to considering making them and may ask people in their montly news letter in February to see if people are interested. I thought I'd try to help them with it. (I'd like them to sell them so I don't have to cut them down) What I'd encourage Kelly's to do is to cut the top bars down 1/16" on each side and the end bars also 1/16 on each side so that the end result is the bee space will be the same as it is now and the frames would be 1-1/4" on center. Would you all be interested in this? Do you see any problems with this? Would you be willing to e-mail them or post here and let us know? If you'd like to e-mail Jane there at Kelly's and give her a little feed back I'd appreciate it. Her e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com Perhaps put "frame spacing" or "1-1/4 frames" in the subject box or something like that.
Some things to know is they may put some pertinent info in the Feb. news letter (It's free and comes out about every month) and unfortunately I don't get anything from doing this other than the hope of being able to buy 1-1/4" wide frames that I want.


text: I just want to say hello to everyone and thank you to anyone who can help me out with this problem. I don't know much about working on cars or trucks (mostly small engines here) but understand the basics and this problem is beyond me. The truck as a lot of mileage on it over 200,000 go Chevy right. but it still runs good. Now for the problem, this as happened a few times now and I can't remember when it started. first the truck won't turn over no starter nothing but you can hear the fuel pump. let is sit for 3 to 4 days and then it will either turn over and still won't start or it will start right away. once it does start it runs fine doesn't die or anything. however a few days later and the whole things starts over again. the alternator and battery are new and have been checked, we think it is either the relay switch or something involving a spark plug in cylinder 5 but I'm not sure. Anyone else have this problem before or have any ideas, any help will be appreciated. plus here are the 3 trouble codes I got off the computer p0200, p0305,p0449 I know what the codes mean and got some causes and solutions from the obd website. just listing them here to see if it helps in determining the problem.

MONDAY MORSELS for Leaders-Can Leadership Expertise Be Acquired?
Here's the question: Do you believe that leadership expertise can be learned, acquired? Can people gain the influence necessary, with teaching, training or coaching, to grow an organization, if they don't have the natural personality to do so? What's your opinion?
I asked this because it is my passion to provide training, support, and coaching to those leaders who "fall" into the role of "leadership", and find themselves ill equipped to handle the demands of the position. This was something my husband and I faced over 30 years ago, while leading a prosperous area in a non-profit organization. It never fails to amaze me when I watch leadership transformation take place right in front of my eyes. I've found THE two most important competencies for growth are: 1. A willing heart to try things, while people try to break out of their comfort zones; and, 2. A teachable spirit. Through trial and error, as well as with the support of a coach to re-engineer, train, and apply assessments for self-discovery, (while supporting and cheering the executive along,) I've seen change occur over and over again; even in those who had staff that pulled me aside to let me know there was absolutely nothing I would be able to accomplish with so and so. For me, this is music to my ears. Let me at them, to work with them. I've observed leaders who were incompetent, egocentric, insecure, lacking motivation and vision, harsh and hard hearted, as well as those who were clueless as to the needs around them, make complete transformations! I can genuinely say, wholeheartedly, and with an emphatic resounding "YES" . . leadership expertise CAN be trained and acquired by anyone who is willing and teachable! In fact, the book that revealed the necessary stages, opening a whole new world to us was, Dr. John C. Maxwell's book, "Developing the Leader Within You". Between this book and "Be a People Person", by Dr. Maxwell, we began our assent into a new realm of servant leadership, learning to take our eyes off of getting people to do what "WE" wanted, and onto assisting, equipping, coaching, and motivating people to become all they could become, in the position they were in, thus fulfilling the company mission as they grew. It is now an honor to work with the many gifted, highly qualified people who have touched so many others and been willing to learn the lessons needed, and skill sets necessary, to become a servant leader. It is with this motivation that I hope those I coach will find the same great reward. It's worth the effort to acquire and deal with a right heart motivation. And in the end, the employees will continue to make their bosses rich in every way possible!

City: Gas line pipe cracked, was not punctured or severed
NEW BERN - Emergency crews secured a gas leak on Neuse Blvd. in New Bern a few hours after a leak was reported.
The gas leak happened at 2828 Neuse Boulevard in front of the Craven County Health department in New Bern. The first calls came in after 6:30 a.m.
According to the City of New Bern, James L. Cayton Utilities, the contractor selected for the city's water main improvement project, was working in the area. The city said the gas line is estimated to be nearly 40 years old, and when the contractor began moving heavy equipment over the surface and digging near the line, the vibrations underground jarred the gas line and cracked the pipe. Officials said the line was not punctured or severed.
City officials said they will replace that part of the older gas line.
Neuse Boulevard was shut down from South Glenburnie Road to Karen Drive. About 10 local businesses closed while crews worked to repair and contain the gas leak.
There is no word yet as to how the gas leak started.

UPDATE: Former Palm Springs man arrested in murder of wife in Missouri
Couple lived in the Mesquite Country Club in Palm Springs before moving to Branson
BRANSON, Mo. - Branson Police have filed first-degree murder charges against a former Palm Springs resident, Thomas Philip Brown, 68, after his wife was found dead in a Branson, Missouri motel room.
A hotel cleaning staff found Marilyn J. Brown in her bed February 24th, dead from a gunshot wound. She was 63.
Branson police said officers located the suspect's vehicle Thursday morning at 2 a.m. at a Hampton Inn Hotel on the 3600 block of W. Highway 76. Officers entered Brown's room and took him into custody without incident.
A search warrant was obtained for Brown's room and vehicle. Officers say they found a weapon believed to be the one used in the killing of his wife. Forensic testing will be ordered to confirm those findings.
Brown is currently awaiting transport to the Taney County Jail.
The couple lived in the Mesquite Country Club in Palm Springs before deciding to move to Branson.
Police say Thomas did not want to move to Missouri. Once the couple arrived they were displaced for unknown reasons from the home they had planned to reside in and were forced to check into the Ramada Resort and Conference Center on the 21st.
There appeared to be no sign of a struggle. Thomas, his personal belongings, the couple's SUV and the family pet were all missing from the scene. Police said he was driving the SUV, a blue 2006 Dodge Durango with California license plate 5WRF678.
Palm Springs police Sgt. Mike Kovaleff said his department was in contact with Branson police, but there was no information indicating the suspect planned to return to the Coachella Valley.
At this time, police have no reason to suspect anyone else was involved.

Santa Barbara Hockey Fans Gather to Cheer on Team USA
Canada blanks USA 1-0 to reach gold medal game
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Rivalries make sports fun! And few rivalries match the passion and competitive fight of USA vs. Canada.
The two countries meet on Olympic ice in Sochi, Russia Friday evening. The Canadians shut out the U.S., 1-0. The only goal coming in the 2nd Period.
Russia and the west coast of the United States may be 12 hours apart on the clock, but hockey fans made it to the bar to cheer on Team USA. The Press Room pub in downtown Santa Barbara opened early for the 9 a.m. puck drop.
Canada will now face Sweden, which earlier Friday defeated Finland 2-1 in the other semifinal game at the Bolshoy Ice Dome. The Swedes won the gold medal in 2006 and 1994.
The U.S. will face the Finns, who won bronze in 2010, for the bronze medal on Saturday.
Both the U.S. and Canada came into the game undefeated, with the Americans' biggest test coming in their 3-2 shootout victory over Russia last weekend.
The American men's Friday loss came on the heels of Canada's shocking comeback Thursday in the women's hockey gold medal game that sent the U.S. team home with the silver medal. The women's team had led 2-0 late in the game, but the Canadians scored two goals in the last three and a half minutes of regulation and then won the game 3-2 in overtime.
The Canadian men beat the U.S. in the gold medal game at both the 2010 and 2002 Winter Games and now have a head-to-head Olympic record of 12-3-3 against Team USA. The Canadians also hold the edge in overall Olympic men's hockey medals, 14 overall with eight golds, compared to two golds and 11 overall medals for the U.S.
Team USA has not won a gold medal in men's hockey since the "Miracle on Ice" at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.

OK, installed a package in May of 2011. The bees never really progressed past the first box that year so naturally we didnt harvest. Last year the hive expanded rapidly and grew into the second and third box, and just started a fourth by the fall. We probably should have grabbed the top box at this point but we didnt.
2013 and the hive is now working in the 4th box. According to Warre principles, the top box should be all capped honey as the brood chamber has certainly moved down into the lower boxes by now.
We removed the top box, smoked out the bees (took a good hour), then set upon removing what we thought would be capped honey. Some of the sheets we removed had all capped honey on one side, and capped brood on the other! Some sheets were mostly all capped brood on both sides with a small row of honey on the top.
So here we sat with this top box totally torn apart holding sheets of capped brood. DId we wait too long? Does this Warre principle simply not work? Im hoping that in the process of this harvest we didnt kill the queen.

Bloomberg is a freaking KOOK I think he needs to change into unemployed and give all his money away
Bloomberg Says Interpretation of Constitution Will ?Have to Change? After Boston Bombing | Politicker
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the countrys interpretation of the Constitution will have to change to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.
The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry, Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. But we live in a complex word where youre going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.
Mr. Bloomberg, who has come under fire for the N.Y.P.D.s monitoring of Muslim communities and other aggressive tactics, said the rest of the country needs to learn from the attacks.
Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11, he said.
We have to understand that in the world going forward, were going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. Thats good in some sense, but its different from what we are used to, he said.
The mayor pointed to the gun debate and noted the courts have allowed for increasingly stringent regulations in response to ever-more powerful weapons.
Clearly the Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to and reasonable gun laws Here were going to to have to live with reasonable levels of security, he said, pointing to the use of magnetometers to catch weapons in city schools.
It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our obligation first and foremost is to keep our kids safe in the schools; first and foremost, to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event; first and foremost is to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or go into our parks, he said. We cannot let the terrorists put us in a situation where we cant do those things. And the ways to do that is to provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection.
Still, Mr. Bloomberg argued the attacks shouldnt be used as an excuse to persecute certain religions or groups.
What we cant do is let the protection get in the way of us enjoying our freedoms, he said. You still want to let people practice their religion, no matter what that religion is. And I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. Thats not true That would let the terrorists win. Thats what they want us to do.
What kind of Assf*ckery is going on in this guy's head. Well a man much wiser than him said:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I think his name was Benjamin Franklin or something, but what the hell did he know?
Ass Hat needs to remember he is a F*ckin Mayor not a national icon. Just keep screwing up your city and leave the rest of us out of it.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Bloomberg is a freaking KOOK I think he needs to change into unemployed and give all his money away
Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows that as a government grows, LIBERTY DECREASES."
Thomas Jefferson
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg once said: Sometimes government does know best. And in those cases, Americans should just cede their rights.
"I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom," Mr. Bloomberg said, during an appearance on NBC. He made the statement during discussion of his soda ban — which was shot down by the courts — and insistence that his fight to control sugary drink portion sizes in the city would go forth.
Another candidate for a "third eye".
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
Great lets start with the 1st an restrict the crap that spews out his mouth.
Makes you wonder why he is not labeled as an enemy. He wants to do away with what those of us swore to uphold form enemies both foreign and domestic. He is the domestic version.
We need to add an amendment that allows putting people that try to take away our rights and that infringe on the Constitution,,,in front of a firing squad for treason,,seems they want that for us ,,for being patriots and protecting this country,,,,,,
They sure as Hell aren't looking out for the Constitution as they swore an oath to do,,,WTF is wrong with this country???????
what a fricking communist!
in the old days HE would be on the FBIs radar.
today leftist socialist and communist plotting to overturn democratic government and the constitution of the USA is "OK" i guess???--welcome to 2013!
I copied this from Survival Blog:
"We're going to suspend your rights to protest, bear arms, privacy, and trial by jury."
"To protect you from terrorists."
"Why do we need to be protected from terrorists?"
"They hate you for your freedom." - Reader "Nick Tha Swede," commenting on an article about Mayor Bloomberg at The Politicker web site

David Webb is the NZ managing partner of PPB Advisory. He recently presented to 100 SME business owners on the early warning signs of trouble in a business. He talks to Gill South.
When should SME business owners put their hand up for help if things are just getting too much?
In our experience the most common reason for SME business owners needing to ask for financial assistance is that they are too busy working in the business and not spending enough time working on the business. They are spending too much time on the operations, and not enough on the strategy.
Management quality is a major determinant of business success. Practically, that means management teams must be attuned to market conditions, their customers, their suppliers, employees, in addition to their financial performance.
Business owners should also be aware that there are no quick fixes however with early and sustained effort, and advice from an adviser, they heighten their chances for a turnaround.
What are the warning signs?
Most business owners will be aware of the classic warning signs such as a lack of cash or overdraft facility. This typically results in delayed payments to creditors and direct debits being bounced. However, in our experience, management quality, a focus on operational rather than strategic issues, and falling staff morale can also be important warning signs that a business is in trouble.
Who should an SME owner contact when they identify some warning signs?
Every SME owner should have a trusted external accountant, lawyer or business advisor that can help them draw up a plan as to how they can stabilise and turnaround their business. The next port of call should be your relationship manager at your bank, ideally with your external advisor. Your bank may be able to provide financial assistance if the position is temporary, or may be able to refer you to a turnaround expert if the situation appears to be a longer term issue.
The regional councils can also be a good source of information. They are currently promoting business growth and may have access to partially funded business advisors through NZTE.
What are some practical, immediate steps business owners can take?
If SME owners could take one thing away from this article, it should be the importance of short to medium term cash flow forecasts. Once they identity warning signs, they should start to prepare a forecast and seek the input of their external advisors to assist them in the preparation of a turnaround / recovery strategy.
A cash flow forecast will provide the bank with assurance that the business has matters in hand and have a feasible plan for recovery. It will also allow SME owners to plan payments to creditors and hopefully agree repayment plans whist maintaining ongoing trade.
It's important to engage with the IRD early. If a problem is brought to them with a solution, they are more often than not willing to work with a business. If the SME owner does not engage with the IRD or takes a confrontational or aggressive approach, the IRD can become an aggressive creditor in recovering its debt.
Where do you see people making mistakes on the steps they take?
We often see business owners bury their head in the sand. They hope that things will improve and that they can just trade their way out of the situation. In our experience, this only hastens business's demise.
Business owners must take swift and decisive action, they should prepare a cash flow forecast, plan a turnaround strategy and seek external advice and proactively engage with all their stakeholders.
It is critical that business owners face up to the situation they are in and engage with their stakeholders such as management, employees, banks, IRD and trade suppliers to ensure that everyone understands the position and is working towards the goal of turning around the business.
How quickly can things be turned around in your experience?
This depends on the circumstances.
If the underlying business is solid and profitable and sales haven't dropped it may be able to be manage a turnaround in a three to six month time frame.
If there are problems with the underlying business, it may take six to 24 months to turnaround the business while you target the problems or look to downsize. A significant period of good trading and cash inflows to repay creditor arrears are required if downsizing is pursued.
Business owners need to have a positive attitude and they need to accept they will have to seek external advice. They will have to listen to it and they will have to put it into action - or keep an open mind if they robustly challenge the advice if they disagree
Ultimately they need to accept that this is hopefully only a temporary blip, that it can be fixed and that you should keep staff informed and motivated.
It's that time when businesses are thinking of ways to thank their loyal customers. What should SMEs with limited budgets be trying to say with their gifts, how do they make an impact that doesn't cost the earth? Send me, Gill South, your ideas here.
