Press Review: Hit-Packed Zeppelin Throbs at Myriad
Led Zeppelin throbbed with a vengeance Sunday night at the Myriad Convention center.
Britain's notorious heavy-metal virtuosos masterfully assaulted the capacity crowd with a hit-packed program accentuated with lengthy and frequent solos.
Zeppelin hasn't been on the road in two years. Oklahoma City was, however, their second date on a current US tour.
The group is remarkably tight musically and appears in as good form as ever, searing and thunderously loud. It's brutal, aggressive and embodies a paganistic rawness. That "aura" surrounds them completely.
Zeppelin fans know what the group is capable of and demand it Sunday with almost masochistic pleasure.
The first hour and a half of the program began as a warm-up for the deafening, spontaneous musical offerings to come.
Lead singer Robert Plant from his recent bout of tonsillitis, brought forth the Rain Song (?) with driving power.
He showed no signs of difficulty with other pulsating selections from the group's Physical Graffiti album. Plant acted the bona fide super star. With shirt torn to the navel, he sashayed across the stage like a prize winning rooster.
But lead guitarist and the group's founder, Jimmy Page, had his moment to prove why he is considered one of the best musicians in rock.
A spectacular stage show came with No Quarter, which featured keyboardist John Paul Jones engulfed in a multicolored fog which rolled over the stage and into the audience.
Green fluorescent lasers all the while flashed oscillating oval forms on the ceiling. The crowd cheered as it had done almost continuously since the start of the concert.
Zeppelin continued with Ten Years Gone and went into a second half program which spotlighted solos by Page and Jones.
Drummer John Bonham performed an exhausting but stupendous solo. He provides the "heavy" to the "metal".
The spirit of Led Zeppelin is, musically, "to let it all out". It gave all three hours worth to a well-pleased audience Sunday. [P.Upton / Daily Oklahoman/4/4/77]

"Going to Oklahoma"
I was scheduled to work on the original date of the concert, so everyone got tickets but me. However, when it was rescheduled, I picked up two tickets from a friend who charged me double... $25 a ticket! But, they were "riser" seats on the floor with a bunch of Catfish friends, and Karen agreed to go with me, so I thought it was doubly worth it. And it was... "WICKED!"
By the way, the set list is wrong... Robert sang "Going to Oklahoma"...

Hi, I'm new here... just stopping by to get the opinion of experts.
In your various travels and studies, have any of you come across what color Mandalorian ore is supposed to be?
I realize this site is dedicated to real world application and behind the scenes facts... but frankly there's no more knowledgeable group on Boba Fett than you all.
Even Wookepidia doesn't say what color the ore is. It says that the color of the resultant forged metal is determined by the process, but not what the raw ore's color is. (It's a bit strange to imply the metal is molded in color, because the famous dented helmet clearly shows the metal to be silver-ish).
So, I figure that if the color of the raw ore is not defined, then you all could come up with the most feasible answer.


text: Last year I completed my bike for under $100 and I talked about the money a lot because of the rules, but of all the things that people commented on, nobody seemed to care that I spent very little money, so I guess it's a non issue, so I won't worry about announcing it this year, but I will say, everything I build is cheap. Love your list, you can use the word "brotherhood" alone without offending any females, if it is offensive ladies, please speak up. Sometimes we are overly sensative for no reason because we wouldn't have offended anyone in the first place, don't get me started. haha I am just happy I don't have to strip any paint this year, what a nightmare that was!

I stayed in Monterey for five lovely but fairly uneventful days, I had a little kitchen in my room so I bought some food before realising that the hobs didn't actually work and there weren't any pans. The corkscrew was also missing but that has never posed a problem for me as I have a mascara and a boot.
After a little too much sleep and Golden Girls episodes (although I don't think I could ever really have too much of that), I was clearly craving more road hours and spent another 8 travelling south to LA. The Hound was a lot less viscous this time and was actually a pleasure to ride. A newer bus with comfy leather seats and free wifi - I was elated! And so was the Mexican Mr Karaoke who saw me with my laptop and asked me to show him how to build a website for his business – we have since exchanged emails and I'm looking forward to seeing the cucaracha online soon.
The scenery along the coast is quite spectacular and the weather was beautiful.

Compliance and Regulations for Sensitive Data Transfers
Posted on Jan 10, 2011 by Bob Luebbe | | Categories: General
Highly sensitive data is frequently exchanged between organizations. For instance, a business will routinely transmit financial information to their bank including payroll direct deposits and ACH payments. These transactions most likely contain sensitive elements like bank account numbers, routing numbers, social security numbers and payment information.
Industry-specific transactions may also contain highly sensitive data. For example, in the health care business, patient records are regularly exchanged between hospitals, doctors and payment providers. In the insurance business, policy information is often transmitted between carriers. This information may contain names, addresses, birth dates, social security numbers and other private information.
Loss of sensitive data can result in great financial expense, lawsuits and public embarrassment for the affected organization. Therefore it is no surprise that industries are setting new regulations and standards to address the security of their data. For instance:
- PCI DSS requires that credit card numbers are encrypted while "at rest" and "in motion". Failure to do so can result in severe fines and potential loss of your merchant account.
- HIPAA requires that healthcare records are secured to protect the privacy of patients.
- State privacy laws require that customers are notified if their personal information may have been lost or stolen. Some states will also assess large fines against organizations if this data is not protected properly.
Organizations should consider compliance requirements and regulations when looking for a Managed File Transfer solution. An effective solution should have a number of encryption methods available to protect sensitive data including SSL, SSH, AES and Open PGP encryption. Audit trails should also be in place to track file transfer activity so you can easily determine what files are being sent, what time they are sent, who the sender and receiver is, and so on. If you are looking for a comprehensive solution be sure to check out our GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer Suite.

It's a good day to be Scar-Jo, but what else is new? The actress who rocked the ish out of her role as Black Widow in The Avengers will receive a cool $20 million for the sequel. Angelina Jolie most recently got $19 million for The Tourist, but as PITNBrs Janaegal and meme pointed out, Julia Roberts got $20 million for Erin Brockovich back in 2000. So I'm thinking $20 million is the record for any actress in a movie sequel. Either way, Scarlett's getting paaaaid.
The HuffPost has the deets, although you've already got the most important [$20 million] part:
Scarlett Johansson's turn as Black Widow in "The Avengers" was so well-received that producers are willing to throw some serious cash her way for the sequel. According to The New York Post, she has been offered a record-breaking $20 million to reprise her role in the second film.
For some perspective, Forbes ranked Kristen Stewart as last year's highest-paid actress, but she can "only" bank about $12.5 million per film (Stewart made $34.5 million over 12 months). Cameron Diaz was second on this year's Forbes list at $34 million, but acted in three movies for that sum.
Marvel and Disney have plenty of money to toss around, as "The Avengers" is now the third-biggest global box office draw in history, having brought in over $1.355 billion in worldwide sales (that's more than "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2″).
So, um. Congrats Scar! I'm pretty sure you're officially a big shot!
What do you guys think about $carlett's massive paycheck? Too big? Too small? Or juuuust right, considering what the studios are raking in? I would not guess at how much these people should make, but I am a Scar-Jo fan and I watch The Other Boleyn Girl probably three nights a week. I don't watch the whole thing, I mainly love falling asleep to it. But only after Scar-Jo and Eric Bana's scene d'amour. Come to think of it, her waist-to-hip ratio alone deserves about $20 million.

Saving the Rain with Charity Pot
On March 7, 2012 Erika, Karen and I embarked on a journey around the world and landed in Tanzania, Africa. Located in East Africa, Tanzania is home to a vast number of natural wonders including Mt. Kilimanjaro, Lake Victoria, and the Serengeti. Almost a year earlier I had written down that I wanted to visit one of our Charity Pot partners, but I could never have anticipated the adventure it would be. I wanted to see the connection between a pot of lotion sold in North America, and the projects that the proceeds supported around the world.
There are things that I saw that no amount of LUSH can ever wash away, and there are moments that I never, ever want to forget.
We had prepared ourselves in all the ways we could – vaccinations (ouch!), medications, and packing our gear, but the moment we stepped off the plane after 30 hours of travel, it was all worth it. So what led us to Tanzania? We had the amazing opportunity to visit Save the Rain who graciously hosted us for two weeks, and allowed us to join in their work with rain catchment systems and the communities they support. We were warmly greeted by Kelly, the Executive Director and from there we were part of the amazing Save the Rain team which included Dylan, Anna, Joseph, Lukas, and Susan.
There are more than 4 billion people worldwide without access to water, claiming 14000 lives each day. Every 15 seconds someone dies because of this water crisis.
Save the Rain works to end the water crisis through rain water harvesting, one village at a time. Rainwater harvesting is simple – it's an electricity-free process to catch, store, clean and use the rain as a sustainable water supply. Sustainability is the key. All of the systems are built using local materials and local labor. That way the communities are fully capable to build, maintain, and fix their systems, and to teach the methods to others. The village elects a committee to oversee the care and sustainability of the project. Donors fund the projects, but the community owns the water resource and decides how to use the resource to best serve the people.
In order to create a baseline to study the impact of rain catchment systems, we travelled to two communities where the tanks were newly installed (and funded by our customers through Charity Pot), and performed the initial assessment tests on the children who will be followed for five years. This was one of my favorite activities of the trip. Time and time again, I was overwhelmed with the sincerity, kindness and joy of everyone we met. These kids were no exception. Once our cameras came out they were little hams, happy to pose and even more delighted when we showed them their images afterwards. And yet, this experience was the most sobering. Measuring height and weight, and temperatures was a startling reality check. Many of them did not have shoes, and their uniforms were barely able to stay on their tiny frames. Regardless of what possessions they did or did not have, the facts were undeniable – they were missing school due to illness, many of them had fevers indicating they were currently sick, and almost all of them were grossly underweight.
I didn't want them to see me cry. I didn't want them to feel shame. It was only by chance that we were born in North America, and not in their communities where access to water can be a matter of life and death.
In addition to visiting the programs that Charity Pot funded, we also spent time planting Moringa seeds (2600 in total!), which is a new phase of the program. Called a "miracle tree," Moringa trees are drought and flood resistant, and the entire tree is usable from food to medicine. Communities who receive catchment systems now also receive seedlings to help counter the soil depravation, and to help with the nutritional needs of the students who often have little to nothing to eat.
What's one of the most significant memories I have from this journey? The people we got to meet; so beautiful inside and out. In our visits to the schools and villages who received a rain catchment system through funding from Charity Pot, it was overwhelming to see the gratitude for something we take for granted. The two weeks we spent in Tanzania were transformative. I'm so thankful for the adventure, the new friendships that were formed, and I can't wait to return again. Through working directly with Save the Rain we got to see why they are so effective at what they do, and the results they have achieved are phenomenal. In their last project assessment they found over 90% improvement in general health, attendance in school, and in students passing the exams required to move on to secondary school. And there was 0% contamination in the water.
Simple, basic solutions can alter lives. But it's not just about the function of an organization or the fulfilling of needs; it's the human connection to who you're working with and why. Because of this I have no doubt that Save the Rain will continue to be successful, and it's clear to see that Charity Pot funds are helping to make a world of difference.

The Epicenter of Colorado Ski Country
Hotel Frisco • Frisco, CO
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Wednesdays ($69)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two, Thursdays through Saturdays ($99)
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Like many Colorado ski towns, Frisco got its start in the 1800s as a mining hub. It's still a hub today, and you might even say it's a gold mine, but for entirely different reasons. About an hour west of Denver, this laid-back blip off Highway 70 is situated less than half an hour from at least five ski areas, including some of the state's best—Vail, Breckenridge, and Keystone to name a few. And although its central location affords prime access to world-class skiing, you won't pay the premium here that you would nearby.
The Digs
A 2012 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence winner, the Hotel Frisco is classic Colorado. It's been around since the 1880s, when the town itself was born, but with ongoing upgrades and renovations. This 20-room hotel has earned a Best of Summit County award in each of the last nine years. Step inside to find a cozy river-rock fireplace holding court over the lobby, which also features a few cozy leather chairs for lounging.
Each room, though decorated differently, features modern décor that includes a comfy queen-size bed, a cable TV, and a lounge chair. Some rooms are also appointed with hand-fashioned wood furniture, while others are equipped with a balcony. After a day on the slopes (hop on the local shuttle for a free ride to Copper Mountain), return to the hotel for a dip in the outdoor hot tub, which boasts views of Mount Royal, then go for a drink in the on-site lounge. Or just relax in the small library lounge upstairs, where you'll find an upright piano that may have been there since the mining days.
"Awesome views from our patio. Front desk staff was fabulously accommodating and the hotel was clean and hospitable. We would definitely stay here again!"-- TripAdvisor

Lots of good comments here. I've dabbled with the VSH bee for the past two years, starting with breeder queens from Glenn in 2011 and then more in 2012. I've had 3 pure VSH and 2 Pol-line II queens. I used these queens to make lots of queens, mostly for myself, but with limited local distribution. I do not rigorously test for "VSH traits" in daughters. However, I do assess these queens as one would for any other type of queen. My assessments are pretty simple, and suited to my objectives of: high honey yield, mite resistance, and gentleness. Overall, my luck with the pure VSH was very poor. Honestly, I simply couldn't keep them from dwindling away, which was very disappointing and costly, even F1 daughters of pure VSH were poor - maybe this was simply bad luck. However, I've tried F1 daughters from other breeders with similar results. I know others have had success with VSH and I'd like to hear more about that.
The Pol-Line bees were completely the opposite - fantastic bees! Without a doubt the best bees I've ever used - and I've tried a LOT of different breeds and breeders. Again, my evaluations are simple: honey, mites, and gentleness. Honey and gentleness are simple to assess, with the results of the Pol-Line being much better than other bees I've had and better than others in my local area. For mites I routinely monitor using sugar rolls, sticky boards, drone uncapping, and visual evidence. The Pol-Line (breeders and F1 daughters) have consistently shown very low mite counts. How do these traits hold up without additional infusion of pure genetics, well that's a continuing story for which I'll have more data this season.
I realize that this doesn't address the main point of the thread, but a point to consider here is if you buy F1 daughters and they (and any potential daughters) last 2 or 3 seasons, wouldn't that represent good value? Sure VSH traits may not be lasting, but bees that survive and produce are certainly worthy of integrating into a breeding program.

Meet Jack Irish: criminal lawyer, debt collector, football lover, turf watcher, trainee cabinetmaker, and the best Australian crime character we've seen in years.
When Jack receives a puzzling message from a jailed ex-client, he's too deep in misery over Fitzroy's latest loss to take much notice. Next thing Jack knows, the ex-client's dead and he's been drawn into a life-threatening investigation involving high-level corruption, dark sexual secrets, shonky property deals, and murder.
With hitmen after him, shady ex-policemen at every turn, and the body count rising, Jack needs to find out what's going on - and fast.
©1996 Peter Temple (P)2011 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Quality Crime Fiction"
Jack Irish is a great character and great to read a book set in Australia
It is like an Australian version of the Prey series by John Sandford.
First time for Chiappi, really enjoyed his performance. Easy to follow characters.
Book built nicely without any silly or over the top twists
Peter Temple is a great author - check out the Broken Shore, one of my all time favourites
"The narrator made me love listening"
The characters and the narrator's timing, timbre and accent.
more complex, less obvious plot; the reviewers that say it was disjointed confuse me -- yes it moved from different settings and characters but it was too obvious for me. Redeemed again by the read aloud and the characters.
Horses, houses and debts.
"Got a new favorite lawyer"
Jack Irish, criminal lawyer, cabinet maker and horseracing fanatic, gets a call from the past, several in fact. If he'd only pick up his messages more often. An old client, one he doesn't remember, wants to talk. Danny Mckillop is dead by the time Jack finds him.
The McKillop case is one from Jack's drinking days and as he looks into the matter, guilt over having failed to represent the man properly, to question the confession, takes root and won't let go.
This was a complex plot easily told. Jack Irish, who's not Irish at all, delivers as a rough and tumble lawyer out running down the cold trail of a case no one wants dragged into the light. Great action and language, the secondary characters come to life. Very enjoyable story.
"I like Jack!"
This was a bit slow in the first half but first books in a series can do that. The rest of it was good and I like Jack Irish. I had a bit of trouble with the slang but I got the gist of it. I'll read another.
Loved the narrators voice.
"Just couldn't get into this book."
I tried twice to listen to this book but without success. I think maybe it's more of a man's book.
"Irish Blessing"
Weak story but great characters. I will defintely give Jack another shot and can only hope the story will live up to his character.
"not up to Temple's usual"
This book just did not grab my interest as other Temple books have done. the performance was good, but the story seemed a bit disjointed and just not engaging. Go for "The Broken Shore" instead.
"Way Down Under"
First in the genre.
All Jack Irish series performances were terrific.
Definitely. Listening again to catch what I missed.
Some may be put off by the profanity but it is the vernacular used in the real world.
"Not Sure At First"
it was slow at first. I still wanted to go on and listen. I was glad I did. A "nice" story. I was entertained.
"Bit bogan"
An alright story I suppose and some of the places were significant to me but it just came across as very bogan and the bad language was somewhat gratuitous (getting prudish in my old age). If there is nothing else on offer I might listen to another Peter Temple but wont be rushing to read the entire series.

Minimum Standards for Jewelry for Initial Piercings [Rev 04/04/2017]
The APP Board of Directors has adopted a revision to the APP minimum membership standards for jewelry for initial piercings. Although a Members' vote was taken to adopt the original standards, a membership vote is not required when establishing or revising membership requirements. The Board has opted to proceed without member polling for the following reasons:
1. This revision simply updates and expands the standards set forth in the original document.
2. The new revised standards better reflect the current practices of both the APP membership and the piercing industry at large.
3. The APP has had extensive communication—both in person and in writing—from piercers questioning the out-dated and confusing nature of the previous standards.
4. Regulatory agencies often utilize the APP standards and incorporate them into law. Maintaining the outdated standards can therefore have negative consequences for piercers using acceptable products that were previously not listed.
The practice of relying solely on the implant designation of a material has now been addressed. Although implant standards address biocompatibility of a given material when used for surgical implants, they cannot be directly applied to the use or required finish for body jewelry. Agencies that determine these designations and standards do so for both material quality and end usage. Implants rest permanently against internal tissue unless surgically removed or replaced, and are sometimes designed for bone or tissue adhesion. Healing piercings, however, form tissue against the smooth non-adhesive surface of the jewelry, and this jewelry can be changed when appropriate. For these reasons we list designation compliance as it applies to material content only; the finish requirements are described separately below.
Products with an ISO or ASTM designation are so noted and a statement specifying the finish requirements particular to body jewelry has been added. In addition, several materials designated for applications other than implants have been proven through historical and practical application to be suitably biocompatible for initial piercing.
The revised Minimum Standard for Jewelry for Initial Piercings is as follows:
- Steel that is ASTM F138 compliant or ISO 5832-1 compliant
- Steel that is ISO 10993-6, 10993-10, and/or 10993-11 compliant [Note: The EEC Nickel Directive is a regulation that requires a low rate of nickel release for all materials used for costume or fine jewelry, belt buckles, watches, or other metallic accessories with direct skin contact. It does not specify nor prove that a material is safe to wear in the body; therefore, compliance with this directive alone is not sufficient for meeting the APP initial jewelry standards.]
- Titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) that is ASTM F136 compliant or ISO 5832-3 compliant
- Titanium that is ASTM F67 compliant
- Solid 14 karat or higher nickel and cadmium free yellow, white, or rose gold
- Solid nickel-free platinum alloy
- Niobium (Nb)
- Fused quartz glass, lead-free borosilicate or lead-free soda-lime glass
- Polymers (plastics) as follows:
- Tygon® Medical Surgical Tubing ND 100-65 or ND 100-80
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that is ASTM F754 compliant
- Any plastic material that is ISO 10993-6, 10993-10 and/or 10993-11 compliant and/or meets the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI material classification.
- All threaded or press-fit jewelry must have internal tapping (no threads on posts).
- For body jewelry purposes, surfaces and ends must be smooth, free of nicks, scratches, burrs, polishing compounds and metals must have a consistent mirror finish.
This revised wording will be used on all future APP publications and correspondence where the earlier version of the standards was published.

Also good if the regular search isn't finding what you want, but you know it's there.

Thanks for keeping it up!
Whoa...no quota on PMs? YA!!!!!!!!
Question- On Settings-Profile Privacy- there is a thing called permission groups...what is that?
Also, issues with the avatars...
Also, what is the difference between everyone and registered members...I cannot view my profile without signing in...but could just anybody that is not registered see my profile....sorry for all the questions...keep getting weird bee related calls from people that say they got my info off the internet...kinda cranking down on some things.
NO CHAT!!!??? For the first time in 40 years I had friends and a social life. Make it #1 priority or I have no one to brag to about all the bait hives I am catching.
So what is the quota on PMs now?
For 99% of members, it's 100.
Regards, Barry
Barry....what could one do to get more space.....
Also, where is the quota bar?
Free donuts and coffee?
Regards, Barry
WooHoo! Love it- kudos Barry!
So many weeds.......so little time.
It would be great if we could use personal "avatars" seen when posting instead of just profile pics.....or is that not possible or allowed?
Avatars, wouldn't do it if I could. I don't need another level of mask and anonymity. Real name, real picture, no hiding.
Hello Barry,
Personally, I really miss ISpy!!! It really had something special going there versus other forum layouts. This is nice though. It will take some time to get used to, but please bring back ISPY.

A few runaway police officers, according to the military tribunal that judged the case and issued its sentences one year later. A few bad apples, who acted on their own, without any order from their hierarchy.

Yes, please: Iowa governor calls for end of Ames straw poll
posted at 8:01 pm on November 20, 2012 by Allahpundit
Does anyone not think this is a good idea?
"I think the straw poll has outlived its usefulness," Mr. Branstad said of the 33-year-old GOP ritual. "It has been a great fundraiser for the party but I think its days are over."…
Its track record as an anointer of GOP nominees falls far shy of impressive. Only two victors, Bob Dole in 1995 and George W. Bush in 1999, went on to win the Iowa caucus the next year and then the nomination in November. And only one, Mr. Bush, went on to become president…
In an interview, Gov. Branstad pointed to Ms. Bachmann's rapid rise and fall in 2011 as Exhibit A for why the straw poll no longer makes sense. The Bachmann campaign invested heavily in the one-day event, busing in thousands of supporters from around Iowa and hiring singers like Randy Travis to entertain them in a huge tent…
"You saw what happened the last time," Gov. Branstad said. "I don't think candidates will spend the time or money to participate in a straw poll if they don't see any real benefit coming out of it."
Remember, the straw poll is really just a fundraising stunt for the Iowa GOP. It's a country fair with tents and music and barbecue and speeches and, eventually, a vote; it costs 30 bucks to get in, but the candidates are desperate enough to get people down there to cast their ballot that they'll buy your ticket for you and bus you in if you're willing to go. All of which would be sweet and adorable if it was just for funsies with no consequences. It isn't. The outcome is the first tiny tea leaf of the primary season, which means the press — which is starved at that point for some sort of result to write about — goes berserk for it even though they should know better. Thus it came to be that Ames 2011 gifted us with the Michele Bachmann juggernaut while the vastly more electable Tim Pawlenty crashed on the launchpad and dropped out the next day. Finishing a distant third to Bachmann and Ron Paul was fatal to T-Paw because he'd spent a bunch of money trying to deliver voters to the poll and got nothing but a ream of "still no enthusiasm for Pawlenty" headlines for his trouble. Show of hands: Given what you now know about how effective the left's Bain/tax returns/dressage attacks were on Romney, with his own comments about the "47 percent" the icing on the cake, who doesn't wish the famously blue-collar T-Paw had stuck around and taken his chances in the Iowa caucuses? Remember, the Bachmann "bounce" from Ames lasted just eight weeks or so; she won the poll in mid-August and had sunk back to single digits by mid-October after the Gardasil fiasco. Maybe Pawlenty would have continued to flounder at the debates, or maybe not. We'll never know. Thanks to Ames.
But maybe this situation is self-correcting. Any Republican with a plausible shot at the nomination in 2016 has every reason to skip Ames, and almost certainly will skip it or else contest it with ostentatious indifference. There's too much risk of being Pawlenty'd by a longshot candidate like Bachmann who's heavily invested in winning the poll as a way to jumpstart his/her candidacy. So even if Ames isn't canceled — and the state GOP will fight it every step of the way — it may end up becoming the equivalent of a play-in game for dark horse candidates only to see who ends up as the lowest seed in the fall's GOP primary tourney. Or maybe it'll become a battlespace for candidates who are fighting for a particular niche of the electorate. E.g., if Huckabee runs in 2016 and is inclined to skip Ames but then Santorum decides he'll contest it in hopes of winning and getting some buzz as the "true social conservative choice," will that force Huck into contesting it too? In that case, you still have a "Pawlenty problem" potentially, where an otherwise viable contender is weakened from the bad press if he loses Ames. This is why cancellation is a good idea. It avoids these prisoner's-dilemma scenarios.
Anyway. Now that that's done, can we also agree that the similarly charming-yet-silly Iowa caucuses should be replaced with a statewide primary, if only to encourage GOP registration before the general election? Or better still, instead of following the traditional Iowa/New Hampshire/South Carolina three-step over the course of several weeks, why not have those three vote on the same day so that we have a multi-regional picture of how Republican voters view the field? If one candidate can win multiple states, great — he/she's a legit frontrunner. If the three states split three ways, great — that's a fun race and would ensure that no one steamrolls the rest of the opposition. The big worry would be that having to compete in multiple states would put poorer, less organized candidates at a disadvantage, but that risk also exists in the traditional scheme: A rich, organized candidate should, in theory, focus on Iowa and win there, then use his momentum and campaign advantages to cinch New Hampshire and mop up in South Carolina. That was Romney's goal, in fact. Didn't work out. Money and organization don't always win, at least in the primaries.

UTSA exhibit spotlights work of Marie-Laure Ilie
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 1, 2006)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History will present "Draping and Beyond: Current Works," an exhibit by artist Marie-Laure Ilie, from Thursday, Nov. 2 through Thursday, Nov. 30 in the 1604 Campus Arts Building gallery.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
A meet-the-artist reception, free and open to the public, is 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 2 at the gallery.
A Sorbonne graduate, Ilie received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Michigan, where she served as a teaching fellow. She received additional training in the fine arts at several painting studios in Paris and a variety of workshops in the United States.
Inspired by the ambivalent sense of permanence and deterioration of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, Ilie explores metaphors of liberty, justice, woman's roles, war and peace through her paintings and sculptures.
Using modern technology and traditional fabric enhancements, Ilie re-images and transforms conventional allegories and archetypes in order to suggest new cultural and emotional interpretations.
Ilie now works mainly with fabric because of its symbolic links with human life and its versatility.
Since 1995, she exhibits only her new genre of 3-D compositions that she calls "mixed-media embodiments."

Thermometers & Timers
The smallest details can often mean the difference between a fabulous home cooked meal and a flop. Kitchen thermometers and kitchen timers are useful tools that help you create the ideal cooking conditions to make your meal a success. Our collections feature a variety of different types, designs, materials and options. Williams-Sonoma carries an excellent selection of thermometer and timer brands such as All-Clad and OXO.
There are many different types of kitchen thermometers available, which can make choosing one a challenge. Thermometers almost always serve a single purpose, so it is important to choose the right kinds for the foods that you want to prepare. Meat thermometers are very popular, as meat has to reach a certain temperature before it is ready to serve. To use one, simply insert the stick into your roast or meat dish and read the temperature. You can find meat thermometers with analog or digital displays. Many modern versions feature an oven-safe cable, so you can leave the stick in the meat as it cooks in your roasting pan.
Some dishes require precise oven temperatures, and even slight variations can cause burning, scalding or sinking. If you enjoy making dishes such as bread or soufflés, an oven thermometer may be a useful accessory to keep in your kitchen. Most oven thermometers clip inside of your oven and measure the temperature in that spot, so they work best when they are placed near the food you are cooking.
Candy thermometers measure the temperature of liquefied sugar and syrup, which helps you achieve specific candy consistencies. Soft candies require different cooking temperatures than hard candies, so this tool can help you get ideal results. Many candy thermometers clip to the side of your cookware; however, you can also find versions that you simply dip into the liquid to read the temperature. You can choose from models that feature analog or digital displays.
Timing is also important for the success of many finicky dishes. If you leave your rolls in the oven too long, they become hard and crusty, and a couple of extra minutes can cause your sautéed dishes to burn. Kitchen timers help you keep track of your cooking time to the minute. Enter in a cooking time and let your sauce simmer in the saucepan or your roast cook in the oven. When the time is up, a loud noise reminds you to check on your dish. Many timers stand or sit on your countertop, but you can find several other options. If your counter space is limited, look out for a version with a magnet to stick on the fridge or a hanger to hold the device onto your cabinet or kitchen shelf.
Like thermometers, timers come in both digital and analog versions. Analog timers can measure a limited period of time and usually fairly easy to use. Simply twist the dial and let the timer count down the minutes. Digital timers are slightly more sophisticated. These let you enter your desired amount of time and count down the minutes on a digital display. Many models can display time to the second and let you start and stop the cooking time as needed. Some models let you enter in multiple alarm times, which comes in handy when you prepare different dishes for a single meal.
Most kitchen thermometers and timers are easy to use and maintain, but you can prolong the lifespans of your tools with a bit of extra care. Always make sure digital devices have working batteries, as low battery power may cause you to press too hard on the buttons. Never wash digital devices in the washing machine. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth and some gentle dish soap to wipe down any splatters or spills.

I got a call about a hive that hasnt been worked in three years(min) and would i be interested in taking it over...get there, and the weeds are taller than the hive. one deep and two meds. As I start to cut the grass around the hive with a swing scythe, these girls kind of mobbed me, at one point, i wipped bees off my veil, with my hand because I could see nothing but mad bees. after the cutting, they followed me around 45 yards still mad. around two hours later, went back with smoke and they were much less, but still very aggressive. My Dad is worried sick that these are africanized bees, and wont rest until I have them checked I guess. Do I go thru the ag agent to do that? If I go next week and they are noticeably better, should I write them up as feral, and concentrate on 'breaking them in' so to speak.
I live in West Marin County, Ca...North of San Fran, and have no reports of AHB but Im sure that some distant cousins of these girls have been to the almond melting pot in the valley so???...it's at least possible that there is some AHB genes floating around.
Thanks in advance!

Information gathering - 2011 BC or BDP Multi-case break
THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GROUP BREAK JUST YET. I'M COMPOSING THIS POST AS A FEELER TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND IF I CAN GENERATE ENOUGH INTEREST. IF YOU THINK IT'S FLAWED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. YOUR FEEDBACK IS HIGHLY DESIRED AND NOTHING I WRITE BELOW IS SET IN STONE. Sorry for the ALL CAPS.
Alright, I've never performed a group break before in my life. I've busted plenty of cases with great results, but never in a group break format.
I've recently participated in houdini's CFB and he's inspired me to take a stab at doing a group break myself.
So here are some warnings if I do decide to do a group break:
1) I'm new to group breaks. I can't promise the break will go as smooth as other group breakers on the forum. I can tell you that I'm pretty careful with cards and will ship them packaged well so that they will not get damaged. My biggest concerns are listed in the following points.
2) I'm not the best public speaker. Since this will be done live, I can't promise I will be anywhere as entertaining as houdini.
3) I'm slow with sorting. Once again, houdini is the man. I can't touch him in his ability to organize a group break and sort the cards in such a short time period. So don't expect next day delivery. More like next week turnaround.
With that said, I'm thinking of either doing 2011 Bowman Chrome 5 case break and/or 2011 BDP 5 case break. The slots for the Bowman Chrome would breakdown something like this.
2011 Bowman Chrome:
60 slots - Autos (Hit Draft)[Extra autos will be randomed]
110 slot - Prospects (Player Draft)[Includes All Refractors and Printing Plates]
75 slot - Bowman Inserts (Player Draft)[Includes All Refractors and Printing plates]
30 slot - Vets and Rookies (Team Draft)[Includes All Refractors and Printing Plates]
Since Harper is the obvious draw to this product, he will get his own slots, broken down like this:
1 Slot - Harper Chrome (non-Auto)
1 Slot - Harper Ref (non-Auto)
1 Slot - Harper Blue (non-Auto)
1 Slot - Harper Orange and Gold (non-Auto)
1 Slot - Harper Red, Canary, Plates, Super.(non-Auto)
Last, there are the USA hits. Since I don't know how frequent these fall, the USA hits might have to be random. Unless someone has a better suggestions.
The random will be held a little different than most. To help out the guys at the bottom of the draft, depending on how many randoms we have, they will be randomed starting from the bottom up. So let's say we have 20 hits to random off, I will start with the last slot and count 20 up. This makes it so that last pick in the draft walks away with a little more than nothing.
I count a total of 280 slots.
@$739 per case (without discounts)
x 5 cases
$3695 (not including shipping and materials)
$13.20 per slot + Shipping and Handling.
My next post will outline 2011 Bowman Draft...stay tuned.

Here's how I would break down 2011 BDP:
2011 Bowman Draft Picks 5 Case Break
60 Slots - All Autos (Hit Draft) [includes Harper Auto]
110 Slots - Prospects (Player Draft) [includes base, chrome all refractors and plates]
110 Slots - Rookies (Player Draft) [includes base, chrome all refractors and plates]
AFLACs, Relics, 60th Anniversary Cards and extra autos will be included in the 60 Slot Hit Draft. Any left over hits will be randomed. As outlined in the BC draft info above, depending on the number of hits we have left will determine how many randoms, starting from the last draft pick working up. So if we have 280 slots, and there are 20 hits left after the hit draft, slots 261-280 would have a stab at the remaining hits. This makes having the late picks not as sucky.
280 Slots total.
@$725 per case
X 5 Cases
$3625 @ $12.95 per slot plus Shipping and Handling
I will work out shipping/handling/fees shortly. My guess is, they will add another $3-$5 to the final slot pricing.

either but draft is preference

Thanks guys. After some though, I might put this break on hold. If you are still interested, please subscribe or comment. I'm going to focus on the Marquee Break in August. I'm hoping prices don't jump, but even if they do, $100-$200 more per case breaks down to a $2-$4 more per slot for 5 cases. That's still a great value.
Once the Marquee break is over, I will revive this thread and start a sign-up.

Good luck with your first break. I like the price point w/ the 2011 BC but if the price doesn't change by much I would join the last 3 Harper slots since the odds are not in favor to the slot holders. The USA is a bit of an unknown like you said but the way Topps is promoting it in the sell sheet I think USA can be a 1 per case slot since we are talking about the set redemption and autos. I don't think we are looking at long odds for either. Personally, I would rank a chance @ the set redemption and/or USA autos worth the $13. Whatever you choose to do if the price is +/- $13 you will have no problem filling this for your first break. I know these breaks are not easy so good luck.

What about 2-3 cases of each? Not sure exactly how to divide it up since it looks like both cases are a combination of player/hit draft?

Actually, my thinking is, the more cases we do, the better chance we land a BIG hit. I would do more than 5, but I don't think I have the stamina to sort that many cards. So 5 cases is a good balance of a) Cards to sort b) number of hits c) price point per slot. Also the way I have it setup, there's a little something for everyone. Player slots, Hit Slots, Team Slots. Everyone has flexibility to pick what they are after.
I really want to do both BC and BDP. But I'm going to get the Marquee break under my belt first before I commit to a 5 case break. Besides, BC is 3 months out and BDP 4 months. I have some time to think this through. 95% chance it will happen. The only thing rushing me is the possibility of prices spiking. But I did the math, and even if it jumps $100-$200 per case, we'll still be in good shape.

This Guide provides concrete recommendations of high impact reforms that can be implemented in the short term. The focus is on formalities dealing with business start up, obtaining a construction permit, registering property, procurement, and upgrading regulatory transparency and efficiency in the management of formalities. It aims at simplifying these processes and reducing regulatory burdens for citizens, advancing the competitiveness of Mexico's states and municipalities.
The improvement of the regulatory framework and the business environment requires innovation and implementation of good practices at the sub-national level. Given the fact that an entrepreneur has to fulfill formalities at the federal, state, and municipal levels to formalise his business, this need becomes even more urgent. The recommendations contained in the Guide were drawn from the systematic review of the processes of formalities mentioned above in nine Mexican states, as well as from the study of successful practices at the international level. Their main characteristics are that they can be implemented in the short-term and are fully justified in terms of costs and benefits.
The Guide also contains brief case studies that illustrate how different jurisdictions, in Mexico and other OECD member countries, implemented the reforms proposed in the recommendations. These case studies can be used as references to guide the effective implementation of reform.
This guide is currently only available in Spanish.

Where I stayed
Returning to the pavement, we began our journey to Kas. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant that needs to be seen to be believed. Havuzbaşı Şelale Restaurant was quite a way off the highway, down a somewhat scary, winding dirt road. The cafe's tables scattered out on decks over the rushing water. The meal was fine and it was nice and cool down in the shade with the water rushing beside and under you as you dine.
We had one more stop before Kas and it was Myra. Myra was an ancient Greek burial site, yes another one
Finally we arrived in Kas, such a lovely town. We stayed at the Hideaway Hotel, close to the harbour. We got a nice but small room.
After a short break Ali took us on a short orientation of the town centre after which we had some free time, agreeing to meet up for a group meal in a few hours. Glen, an Australian, and I opted for a beer while Jacqui and Glen's wife, Dorothy, cruised the shops.
Dinner was at Smiley's with a delightful host, relatively good food and an enjoyable experience. The restaurant had a potential wine cellar but he was waiting for permission to use it as it is a Roman ruin. It was built as a cistern but was below sea level and became tainted so the water was unusable.
In Kas, we actually get two nights in one hotel for the first time since Istanbul.

"Hey there, Mr. Jason Simon. My name is Melanie Fiander, and this is my film."
These words kick off Melanie Fiander's "One Minute Introduction," one of the works to have made the final cut for inclusion in the upcoming 2007 Portland Museum of Art Biennial.
Fiander created the film, a one-minute black-and-white vignette in which she explores the items on top of her mother's dresser, as a way to introduce herself to Jason Simon, a curator and artist working in video, film, and photography who was one of her faculty in the Maine College of Art's MFA Program last summer.
The film begins, after Fiander's no-nonsense text, with a lead-in focus on a palm-sized framed photo of her father playing guitar; from there Fiander's fingers start in, moving in and out of sync with her slow roving camera as together they scan surfaces, inspect jewelry boxes, and probe their contents — to the tune of Miles Davis's "Autumn Leaves."
Why use this particular format, a film that traces your poking through your mother's dresser, to introduce yourself to Jason Simon?
As I had never met Simon before, I wanted to introduce myself to him through my artwork, and for that film to be formal but also casual. The formality appears in the text but is not overly dramatic and the casual tone is set immediately with the audio. This footage of my mom's dresser seemed suitable for Simon's arrival as a visiting artist at Maine College of Art because I felt this was a great way to introduce him to myself by way of my family. Simon himself has used this same "snooping" technique in his films, particularly in Paul Schrader's Bag and also in Vera, although in a less direct manner.
Most of the inspections of the boxes and objects are quick — like you're looking for something in particular — but there's an extra-long lingering over the crucifix earrings, a kind of double-take. What's at work in that moment?
The two crucifixes are a pair of earrings that my friend's family in Ecuador gave to me. I was very appreciative of the gift but when I got home I turned to my mom and said, "So, do you want these?" A very thoughtful gift should never be overlooked, but I think we have all received a gift at certain point in time and thought, "Thanks . . . what do I do with this?" During the filming, I saw that the earrings were now in one of her jewelry boxes and went in for a second look.
It seems the more I learn about religion, the more I become confused. I'm constantly going back to my Catholic roots only to run away screaming every two months, give or take. Maybe it's a phase?
I'm curious about the degree to which this film was scripted beforehand.
This film was not scripted. While I was filming my mom's dresser, I was simultaneously having a conversation with my mom, Aunt Mary, and a family friend about Aunt Mary's husband, my Uncle Carmine. Aunt Mary was ironing pants, retelling a few stories, and the camera drifted from her to the dresser. This information is not accessible to the viewer, but is an example of how my films usually begin.

ALLPAR LINKPlans for a Jeep Wagoneer and a Maserati version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, both discussed publicly by Sergio Marchionne, are apparently speeding along at the frenzied pace Chrysler followers are starting to find "the new normal." Model year 2013 should bring both versions of the Jeep Grand Cherokee platform, which was ironically the result of joint engineering with Mercedes. Mercedes itself has already debuted its version, the new ML. Both Wagoneer (which will retain its traditional WS body code) and the Maserati version will reportedly be built at the Jefferson Avenue plant which currently assembles the Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. Little is known so far, except that Marchionne told reporters some time ago that the Maserati would use a Ferrari-based V8 and possibly a diesel; and that one blog reported that it would use the 392 Hemi engine. While sticking to the SRT8 powertrain would reduce costs, it would also reduce the uniqueness of the Maserati.There has been speculation that the Maserati version would be built in Italy, and this is still possible, especially given the Wagoneer launch.
Now ignore ALLPAR's horrendous rendering there. But if it took queues from the Nukizer Concept then well...we have a potential winner here:
Still don't like it.

Not the one I posted, which is the concept for the Nukizer at MOAB. The one on allpars website via the link.
Yeah. Not good. I like retro styling to a point but that rendering is almost a blatant copy. Give me a modern design or interpretation for the Wagoneer. I guess it is just the front end that has me in design knots. The rest of the truck looks modern. I just despise that front end.

im hyped for this thing but that rendering better not even be remotely close lol

The Wagoneer is a no brainer. Need to see the Maserati before I comment on it though.
I doubt it'll be anywhere near that retro or wood sided as that render.and I hope it's not just a jeep badged Durango... but yeah a good wagoneer would be a cool addition to Jeep

i disagree with a Maserati SUV. thats like BMW building an X5M, just wrong. if it really is going to be built though, it has to use a ferrari v8, even if those v8s probably arent that well suited to truck duty

Alex daOriginal:I doubt it'll be anywhere near that retro or wood sided as that render.and I hope it's not just a jeep badged Durango... but yeah a good wagoneer would be a cool addition to JeepAs of right now, the Durango is only available with RWD or a slip sensitive AWD. Mechanically, think of the Wagoneer as a LWB Grand Cherokee or a Durango with the Grand Cherokee's 4X4 and suspension systems. Not too sure about styling, but I'd assume something similar to the Grand Cherokee.

He is in the game against a bad run defense to prove the fans WRONG! lol.
It may seem cheesy but i think they were trying to get him to the 200 mark. Big milestone for a back to reach. Quite a few do have a 200 yard game, but few who are considered backups, or part of atandem do. I think its a nice feather in his cap, especially for a guy who has been had longevity and health issues.
With Brown hurt, I am not sure how badly or if he will play next week, you are one unfortunate play from having Wilson as the starter. Getting him some experience in garbage time, might not be such a bad idea... probably more beneficial than padding some stats, IMHO.

– If the user has access to a link resolver – What the URL is for the link resolver
Some services, like EBSCOhost, have an administrative module that allows the customers to input information on their link resolver. Other services, such as CrossRef, have no admin module and thus need to discover the link resolver information another way. They do this through the use of a cookie on the user's browser. This cookie, if it exists, indicates that the user does have access to a link resolver and the content of the cookie is the link resolver's URL.
The trick is getting the cookie written in the first place. Web servers can only read cookies that they have written; therefore, a mechanism is needed to have the resource (e.g., CrossRef) write the cookie. To accomplish this, some OpenURL resources will have cookie pusher scripts on their site. These scripts are normally activated from the library's online resources web page. Activation of the cookie pusher scripts is achieved by including icons for the OpenURL-enabled resources on the web page. The URL for the icons is really a link to the cookie pusher script for that site. The act of displaying the icon pushes the cookies to participating resources.
In most cases, the cookies have a life span of a day or so; therefore, users must access their online resources through the library's website to have LinkSource with A-to-Z active.back to top

No matter how much it will fly under a lot of fans' radar, there's no question that most teams around the NFL will be looking to upgrade their offensive lines this offseason. There are no official league-kept stats to judge the performance of offensive linemen and a lot of fans overlook the play in the trenches, but there's no doubt this is a critical part of the formula for any team's success.

Elizabeth Pisani:
Sex, drugs and HIV — let's get rational
Armed with bracing logic, wit and her "public-health nerd" glasses, Elizabeth Pisani reveals the myriad of inconsistencies in today's political systems that prevent our dollars from effectively fighting the spread of HIV. Her research with at-risk populations — from junkies in prison to sex workers on the street in Cambodia — demonstrates the sometimes counter-intuitive measures that could stall the spread of this devastating disease.

Got Climate? Why California Communities are Rising Against Fracking (and why you should too)
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights, End Dirty Energy, Featured, Global Exchange News & Events, People Power, Not Corporate Power on 20th February, 2013 | 7 Comments
Gas and oil companies are quietly bringing fracking to the Golden State, placing not just Californians, but the planet at risk. In fact the process has already begun; promising to make California the number one oil producing state in the country, or as some call it The Saudi Arabia of the US—but at what cost? Global Exchange is working with communities to say "no" and leading a speaking tour April 15-22 through California's fracklands.

Pulaski Technical College instructors April Gentry-Sutterfield and Paula Morell will lead a free autobiographical writing and performance workshop called "Your Story" on Nov. 3, from 6-9 p.m. in Room 124 at Laman Library, 2801 Orange St. in North Little Rock.
Participants will learn how to tap into their personal story, give voice to their story through writing and then share it through an informal performance. Gentry-Sutterfield is a theater instructor, and Morell teaches English and creative writing classes at Pulaski Tech.
Pulaski Technical College's Center for Teaching Excellence is sponsoring the workshop with support provided by the Arkansas Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The workshop is free and open to the public, but seating is limited to 20 people. To register, contact Mary Gall at (501)-812-2751, or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com
