What's that? Haven't bought those Chrissie presents yet? Here's your guide to the best last-minute music gifts this festive season.
If you have a teenage girl then make sure you get the Titanium album All For You _ she's probably in love with one or all of the members of the Kiwi boyband. The album itself is pretty decent and has an international flavour to
the pop sound. Even the odd teen boy will enjoy these tunes.
Aaradhna's latest offering Treble and Reverb is a faultless 15-track album packed with soul, some old-school sounds and an amazing voice. Perfect for her.
She'll love the new Bruno Mars album Unorthodox Jukebox, but might not appreciate the lyrics on Gorilla, which
we won't share with you here.
Green Day's trilogy of albums Uno!, Dos! and Tre! will provide a much-needed burst of post-Christmas lunch energy.
Can't manage three? Go for Dos!, which has the pick of the tracks with Stray Heart. Those whose men prefer less frantic music might want to give Lana Del Rey's Paradise Edition of Born To Die. And if they don't take to the soaring beauty of Ride, or the sultry Blue Velvet, they can sit around looking at the nice picture on the cover.
And mum may not like opera, but she'll appreciate the album cover featuring the nice young men of Il Volo _ Italian operatic pop teenage tenors. If your mum's partial to a bit of Robbie Williams, don't miss his new one Take
The Crown. Or what about every mum's favourite redhead _ Mick Hucknall having a crack at American Soul. Good luck, Mick.
Any album that includes Gimme Shelter, Paint it Black and Sympathy for the Devil is worth having. No matter how old your dad is, he's sure to appreciate the mega-slice of the Rolling Stones that is Grrr! _ a three-disc compilation of 50 Stones songs. Those so inclined could even ignore Disc 3 and the unfortunate 80s section of their long career. And buying Celebration Day from fellow old-timers Led Zeppelin could earn you a Whole Lotta Love.
It's been a while since there have been this many great options for lovers of fine, old-time tunes. This year saw the
release of John Rowles' If I Only Had Time anthology. And you'd need a bit of time to listen to all 53 tracks over two discs. Eddie Low's Icons includes his takes on My Way and Knockin' On Heaven's Door. And you'll be able to compare his version of Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow with Dennis Marsh's on Sounds Of The Pacific, a collection of Pacific Island music and country tracks performed with a Pacific vibe. And if none of that takes your fancy, what
about Kiwiana Goes Pop, 44 nostalgia-inducing Kiwi songs, jingles and theme-tunes, including Country Calendar, Ches`n' Dale and My Old Man's An All Black.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without the obligatory Christmas albums _ and again, there's something for everyone. From Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas, Baby, including a duet with Mary J Blige on We Three Kings (!) and Cee-Lo Green on the title track, to Cee-Lo's Magic Moment, featuring Rod Stewart (him again) and Christina
Aguilera. Other festive releases include Cee-Lo and Christina's The Voice buddy Blake Shelton raising a glass with Cheers, It's Christmas, teen fave Christina Perri with It's a Very, Merry, Perri Christmas (ho ho ho), Colbie Caillat with Christmas in the Sand and Michael Buble with the imaginatively titled Christmas [Deluxe Special Edition].

Gaming Headsets Information
If you're an avid gamer, you want to have every advantage possible over your opponents, and high quality sound is one such potential advantage. However, the chances of other people (neighbors, pets, significant others, the police…) actually enjoying your surround sound cranked up to the max while you play your first person shooter online aren't exactly in your favor. This is where a gaming headset comes into play. Gaming headsets connect directly to your system of choice (either through a cable connection or wirelessly) to allow you to enjoy your games at whatever volume you want without bothering those pesky neighbors. A gaming headset will also come with a built-in mic so you can stay in constant communication with your teammates.
Gaming headsets generally have multiple drivers in the earcups to allow for surround sound capabilities. This can be especially helpful in those first person shooter games where hearing someone's footsteps behind you can be the difference between a knife in the back or a killstreak. If you go the wireless route you can avoid snagging your headset on something in a fit of rage or excitement.
Being able to control the chat and in-game volume is another advantage since most headsets from manufacturers like Turtle Beach and Tritton offer in-line controllers that allow you to adjust volumes and even EQs. Having a reliable microphone is a must when you need to chat with your team in the heat of battle. Standard headsets and the mics in accessories like system cameras usually give a lot of feedback, making you one of those annoying players everyone has to mute. Gaming headsets also have plush ear pads and head bands, so you can play your favorite game into the wee hours of the morning without discomfort.
There are a wide variety of headphones out there for PlayStation, Xbox and even your computer that will elevate your gaming experience to a new level.

Has anyone thought about, or used, styrofoam for swarm traps? The cost is pretty comparable to wooden construction, maybe a bit cheaper, but at my scale, it is of little consequence. This is assuming I use 2" sheets, but I think 1" sheets will be adequate. These would certainly be lighter than wood construction which might be nice when retrieving from elevated locations. My other swarm traps are essentially 10-frame deeps with secured tops and bottoms, so I'd be making these along the same lines.
Are there reasons to avoid construction of this type?

The age of the eggs were from larva to one day old eggs because my queen has been laying in this cone for four days. Will the queenless bees in my starter hive make cells from these eggs,are does it have to be one day old larva?

[quote user="Markroman"]To be honest...the deal failing may be the best thing in the long run.
All the deal was was covering up for past sins...you are not better off printing money to pay off bad debts.!
I really don't know what the best decision is.
If the $700 bailout doesn't work, we are done for. We really would be because now our money is worthless and we are stuck with a $700B tab....and the interest on that only grows....

Love these Rippers!!

Comments about Rossignol Super 7 Skis 2013:
These skis will make you feel like your a kid again. Very good ski for where I live. If you like trees, deep powder and skiing hacked up crud; you cannot go wrong with these. They are fun and fast. Very good in the air and on landings. On the groomed they perform at high speed well, but don't expect them to be doing tight slalom turns perfectly. My only little pet peev is that their top sheet/cap is weak and easily scratches, peels and chips, but alas this is not the side that matters. This is a ski that performs well everywhere and peaks in the pow!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bought these for knee deep powder days. Use GS skis for boiler plate.
Awesome Powder Ski!
By Knife Ridge skier
from Denver Colorado
I bought these skis to use for the deep powder at Wolf Creek and they have been absolutely phenomenal. I was concerned that they might be unskiiable on front-side terrain but have been impressed at how capable they are on most other parts of the mountain. They wouldn't be my first choice for an a ski I intended to use primarily for front-side groomers or ice but that's not the point of these skis. I also must comment on how quick turning and generally responsive they are in the trees despite their large size. If you are considering a purpose built powder ski that will allow you to access the deep stuff and ski it like a pro I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better ski. My other thoughts include: The rocker is just right, not too much for front side use but plenty for bounding through the powder. The width is perfect for the the maximum depth of snow you'll likely find at any resort but not so wide that you trip over it while traversing around and riding lifts. They are surprisingly light weight despite their length and width.
Great all around
By Pastorbja
from Alberta Can
On powder and mixed conditions I am very happy with these skis. I am riding the 2013 Super 7s with the metal and don't find them too heavy but rather I feel that they carry my large size perfectly on crud, chop as well as in the powder. Very pleased. I am glad I have the 195cm length for my 6'3" 235 pound structure. Love em'. For super hard and ice I prefer my carve (Solomon Enduro) but for everything else these Rossi s are great.

Great ski for steep and deep. Okay for side country but too heavy for long tours. Amazing flotation and easy to turn

About Me Professional
Awesome skis. Turn on a dime and float beautifully. Great powder skis for dodging trees. Good in crud but not so great on hard pack.
By NW KAZE
from Ellensburg
I bought these skis for one intention, Steep and deep. These are great skis for droppin off the top and ripping up the deep pow! Back country any day. Run good down the groomers to the lift, but don't expect great edge hold on the ice or strong GS turns. These skis are made for playing in big powered days.
By Bill
from Squaw Valley
Great skis.
Probably the most all around and fun ski
By wired103
from boston, ma
I ski this ski almost anywhere. It's versatility is incredible.
Worth buying a second set
By Tele Mahnnn
from Dumpster, CO
The skis love to make alpine turns. Tele turns are fun in pow. Carve it up at high speeds. I was surprised how well they did carving at speed but requires some effort. I've got 7 days on em and have gone over the bars once in wind blown pow. The tips really want to float. I like to cruise and blast through fresh/crud making tele and alpine turns. They're big n heavy and I like that about them. I like trees but not super tight/steep. I loathe having to make quick turns and think the skis may as well. In pow they'll do whatever you want. I'm 6-1 and 200 lbs and glad I got the 195's. I'm curious how the next size down perform being smaller and no metal.
Ski like I'm 20 yrs younger!
By Olybear
from Olympia wa
This is a really fun, playful ski, it turns quick and swivels through the trees. Excellent in powder and NW crud. These skis have allowed me to ski more terrain with more control than I have ever had before.
Fantastic Powder Skiis
By Bodango
from Portland, Oregon
Great skis off the trail groomed is a little rough but there powder skis and thats what there built for GREAT SKIIS
These are great. Highly recommended.
By Slickrick
from Sugarloaf, ME
I have skiied on these once so far not on a power day and was surprised at their ability to carve on groomers even at -2 binding mount location. Found a couple stashes of powder and they seemed very fun. Mounted so alpine touring bindings on these so hoping to do a couple tours this spring.
Rockin Skiis!
By Timob
from Kirkland, WA & Big White, BC
Amazingly turny for a big ski. Awesome in powder, and you can get them on edge in softer snow too. (And powder in the trees? Wahoo!) The only drawback is they are heavy to pack. I use them mostly inbounds in WA and BC, and for short side country jaunts. Any serious backcountry trips and you will definitely want something lighter.
They make you a better skier
By King of the mountain
from Crested butte, co
This is a great all around ski. The bases are a little soft so they are susceptible to core shots

Where's the snow?
By Jeff the Pinhead
from Pollock Pines, CA
Intended use for resort and off-PisteHope to use for back country as well.Won't really know until we get more snow in CA.
No Powder No Problem!
By Phil the Thrill
from Boulder, CO
Perfect combo of performance and price. I was super-impressed with the ski's ability to carve on groomers and ice (I did not expect this from a powder ski). Plows through powder and crud, moguls are a breeze. I'm so happy with my purchase. Only complaint is that it's a bit heavy-only noticeable when initiating the first jump turn on steeps.A note on sizing. I'm 6'6", 176#. Tall and light. Very happy with decision to go with 188's instead of 195's for maneuverability.
Great Ski for an aggressive style
By Kato
from Laramie, WY
Ski is a great ski for someone looking for an aggressive ski. I am 5'10" 150 pounds ad the 188 provides a hard charging ski for myself.

dan, are you seeing any difference in your south ga hives compared to your northeast ga ones?
no midas touch here. and mine aren't booming yet.
i probably should have some patties on.
i am hoping that the strong foraging days that we have been getting in between the cold ones, plus the little bit of last fall's honey that's still there, will enough to sustain them.
this weather is bound to break soon.

Re: st: Cox overfitting test?

Re: st: Cox overfitting test?

Thank you Maarten,
When I run your program the histogram of mean deviance residuals is indeed
centered on the vertical line (i.e., the mean is ~0.97). So in that sense
the fitted Cox model behaves well on the bootstrap samples. Still, my
concern is that I am capturing a lot of random fluctuations with only 52
cases and six parameters. Maybe I am wrong.

Absolutely keep. $3.75M is not a lot for a RB with 1,000 yards. Not AB's fault that the coaches didn't use Brown more, and rest AB, while Brown was still healthy.
And besides that he's good at protecting Eli, he's also got a set of cajones and a lot of drive -- which is what this team really seems to lack. The guy's a gamer.

Summer Surf 'n' Turf in Pacific Grove
Anton Inn • Pacific Grove, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($319) or Fridays and Saturdays ($369)
- Filet and Lobster Dinner with Wine for Two
- Wine Tasting for Two at Two Wineries, Including Heller Estate Organic Vineyards
- Daily Continental Breakfast for Two
- Personal Cheese and Olive Tray
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Perched on the southern tip of the Monterey Peninsula, just two hours south of San Francisco, Pacific Grove boasts all the charm of its more popular neighbor to the north—minus the crowds. A quiet coastal community of about 15,000, Pacific Grove is a look back at what California used to be, with Victorian architecture and sea-beaten lighthouses at every turn. Add to that the town's breathtakingly beautiful beaches, where rocky cliffs meet the whorls of the Pacific Ocean, and you've got a quintessential California beach town that's happy to fly under the radar.
The Digs
Just steps from the area's most coveted coastal spots, as well as the gorgeous galleries, eclectic shopping, and renowned restaurants of the Monterey Coast, Anton Inn embraces the artistic spirit of the town's past, displaying local art throughout the building. You'll stay in a Standard King or Double Queen Room with cozy bedding, a sparkling tiled bathroom, and a cozy fireplace.
Start the day with a fresh breakfast of fruit, bagels, and bread, and warm dishes like pancakes and sausage. In the afternoon, return to your our own love nest for a cheese and olive plate, and relax on the patio.
The Diversions
During the day you'll get a wine tasting for two at two local wineries, including the renowned Heller Estate Organic Vineyards, which rests on 120 acres in the hills above the Hidden Springs of Cachagua in the Carmel Valley. At night, you'll be treated to a steak and lobster dinner for two—with wine—at the inn.
You can also rent a bike on-site at Anton Inn from Adventures By The Sea, pack a picnic, and head for Lover's Point, where you can kayak or scuba dive among the kelp forests, surf the reliable waves, and watch the open-air artists. Or, check out world-famous whale watching in Monterey's Submarine Canyon.
And it wouldn't be a trip to the Monterey Peninsula without a visit to one of the world's most popular aquariums. Monterey Bay Aquarium draws nearly two million visitors annually with its up-close-and-personal exhibits, and it's less than two miles from the inn.
"Anton Inn's newly renovated motor-inn exterior, and part beach cottage, part Dwell magazine interiors—think a hip uncle's pad in Provincetown—meld to create an under-the-radar art gallery/inn."-- San Francisco Chronicle

I've got two questions for you. I've put together some of my dadant frames and the tops of the top bars are about 1/4" below the box edges. My rabbets are 5/8" deep without metal frame rests. Should I get metal frame rests to make the top bars flush with the box edges? I've seen in books that some frame rests have a little lip sticking up and I imagine that using this frame rest would make the top bars flush with the top of the box.
My other question is about slack space between the frames. My inner width is 14 3/4" according to your plans. With 10 new dadant
frames (with only foundation) in the box and pushed together towards one side there is about 7/8" empty space between the last top bar and the side wall of the box. Is this how it is supposed to be?

So you're sitting at the computer at home, looking for a little diversion from those chores you have to do. Or maybe someone else wanted to use the game console or watch TV, so you had to stop playing Skyrim or Star Wars: The Old Republic for a little while. Or perhaps you're at work and don't have much to do because everyone else is still out for the holidays. Whatever the case, since we're operating on a reduced posting schedule until after New Year's Day, it won't take you too long to read the (other) latest GeekDad posts. So go ahead and do that, and then come back here.
There are many winter activities that people get nostalgic for. Some people recall snowball fights and sledding when they were young. Some think back to steaming cups of marshmallow-infiltrated hot chocolate and curling up in front of a fire. For some, the winter holidays would be incomplete without another viewing of It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story. Clearly, something is missing here: I think it's high time people started to get nostalgic for the online Flash games of winters past!
First up is the all-time classic — so classic, in fact, that it used to only work with a Shockwave plugin. If that means anything to you, you probably remember playing this game when it first appeared in 1998 — yes, really, 13 years ago — as a holiday greeting sent out to clients and friends by the Silicon Alley company Nicholson NY. Due to its simplicity, amusing graphics, and challenging higher levels (unless you know a trick), it quickly went viral, and soon everyone everywhere on the internet had played it. Yes, I'm talking about SnowCraft, which you can play on its original website for free. As a sign of the changing times, the game is now available for $0.99 as an iOS app from the iTunes App Store.

My TBH lives next to my house on the side with a big picture window. This was fine until the window went bad. We are getting it replaced but don't want the window guys to get stung or us to harm the bees by doing something stupid.
What can be done to close them inside (screen over entrance?) Or perhaps hang up a bed sheet between window and bees so they don't pay attention?
I don't know what time of day or how long the window will take and its supposed to be on the upper 80s low 90s.... I don't want to cook the girls by restricting venting....
The hive is almost parallel with the window. End entrances on one side and plugged entrance on other side.
EDIT: It also has a screened bottom, in that it has a Screen Floor with a Plywood Bottom Board that is removable. (Its on with 6 or 8 wing nuts, not a slide out tray)

Reviews of this property
Immaculate, clean and cosy apartment in a beautiful location provided us with so much needed retreat from the rush of the city. The owners made sure that our stay was a happy and even let us use their bicycles for free. Strongly recommended.

We had a very good stay in Berlin. The apartment was clean and comfortable, bedding was good. Kitchen was also clean. We would rent this apartment again in the future.
Super accommodation, very nice hosts, beautiful 3 spent there.

Sehr schöne, ruhige Wohnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder !
The apartment was quiet, the connections by tram and suburban train worked perfectly. The beds are a little soft and saggy. The availability of wireless was great, a new LCD TV was also there. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to enjoy a few days in the Berlin environment.

Hours before the law exempting Arkansas concealed carry license holder's names and zip codes from the state freedom of information act was signed into law Friday, an editor of the "Arkansas Business" magazine published a link to an Arkansas State Police produced spreadsheet listing them on her publication's website.
Arkansas Business has since taken the link down after ferocious responses from second amendment patriots in Arkansas, however, she has asked people to email her to receive a copy now.

Today is National Gorilla Suit Day, the day when men, women and children of all ages don their gorilla suits and stroll their towns, visiting the neighbors and showing off their hirsute finery. Smart shoppers will have picked up their gorilla suits at a substantial discount at an after-Halloween sale.
Controversy continues to surround National Gorilla Suit Day; some, like Fester Bestertester, believe that it is a fake holiday invented by the gorilla suit manufacturers to sell their wares. Others, this reporter among them, consider National Gorilla Suit Day to be one of America's more important holidays. Continue Reading "National Gorilla Suit Day" »

Montana State's Shawn Johnson earns preseason All-American honors
Montana State return specialist Shawn Johnson can once again call himself an All-American returner.
Johnson was named to The Sports Network's 2014 preseason All-America second team on Tuesday. Johnson was named a preseason All-American punt returner last year and ended the year as an All-American returner.
Big Sky teams will shy away from kicking to Johnson after he returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and a punt for a touchdown last season. Johnson ranked 2nd in the Big Sky in kick return average with 31 yards per kickoff return, which also ranked 4th in the nation.
Johnson also rushed for 609 yards and 6 touchdowns on the Bobcats offense.

Checked my bees: The hive that did NOT die of idiot-induced dysentery is doing very well indeed. They are all busy on the top though... should I still reverse the deeps? Do I want the cluster on the top or bottom during the spring?
Also, I want to purchase a queen and give my other hives some bees to get up and running. Since I haven't done it before, when is it safe to divvy up my bees without weakening the original hive too much?

Video: Cardin uses Fox in Steele, Bush attack ad (Update: Cardin voted against stem cell research)
posted at 11:48 am on October 24, 2006 by Ian
Following his appearance in an advertisement for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, Canadian-born actor Michael J. Fox vouches for another Democratic Senate hopeful in Maryland. Congressman Ben Cardin is using Fox in a similiar ad, where the actor, suffering from Parkinson's disease, is seen gyrating while he tries to persuade voters not to vote for Republican candidate Michael Steele.
UPDATE: Michael Steele's campaign has exposed Cardin's vote against stem cell research:
TEMPLE HILLS, MD – Today, Michael Steele released the following statement setting the record straight on stem cell research:
Michael Steele said, "There is only one candidate in this race who voted against stem cell research and it's Congressman Ben Cardin. Ben Cardin had a chance to support stem cell research that would not destroy human embryos, and he voted against it – not because of his beliefs on the issue, but as a transparent political stunt. Both Senators Barbara Mikulski and Paul Sarbanes voted for this legislation. Ben Cardin wanted to politicize the issue instead of getting something done, so he voted against it. Marylanders deserve better than Congressman Cardin's continued Washington double-talk, mistruths and sheer political gamesmanship on an issue as important as stem cell research."
On September 6, 2006, the Frederick News Post reported: "[Cardin] opposes suggestions that stem cell research is acceptable if the embryo isn't destroyed. (Liam Farrell, "Pursuing Change," Frederick News Post, September 2, 2006)
Michael Steele added, "I am an enthusiastic supporter of cord blood, adult stem cell and embryonic stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo, and I fully support expanding innovations in technology that make it possible to treat and prevent disease without the willful destruction of human embryos."

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of ASP.NET in a Nutshell is a stingray. The stingray is a flat, rectangular fish with no dorsal or anal fins that lives in shallow coastal areas around the world. It hides itself in the sandy or silty sea bottom while feeding on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. The stingray is best known for its long tail, which holds a serrated spine near the tail base. When threatened, this spine injects a powerful, and often fatal, venom into its victim. The venom contains proteins that can slow an animal's respiration rate to dangerous levels. Humans are often surprised to learn, however, that the animal is normally gentle and nonaggressive.Contrary to popular belief, stingrays usually sting humans only when stepped on by unsuspecting swimmers. When threatened in this manner, the animal reflexively whips its tail back to defend itself. This defense is effective against most animals, except for its main predator, the shark.Populations living near stingrays have valued the animal for centuries-particularly in Polynesia, Malaysia, Central America, and Coastal Africa, where the stingray's spine was used to create spears, knives, and other tools. More recently, the stingray has become a popular tourist attraction; the stingray has been a major source of tourist income over the past decade in some island resorts in the Carribbean. Resorts in the Cayman Islands have taken special measures to educate humans about the stingray. Some resorts in this area even advertise beaches where tourists can swim and play with the animal.

Joe Wizda wrote the index.Emma Colby designed the cover of this book. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout based on a series design by Nancy Priest. The Intrinsic Class Reference was created by translating DocBook XML source into a set of gtroff macros using a Perl filter developed at O'Reilly by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU gtroff -gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to XML and implemented the book design. The GNU gtroff text formatter Version 1.11.1 was used to generate PostScript output. The rest of the book was converted into FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Ann Schirmer.

from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly ASP.NET in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition:
I still am learning the programming part web for components, but this book to mine to see is clareando many the concepts of data base, controls web with asp.net. I am liking this book also. Another friend mine that is lecionando a course for 50 pupils in vb.net using asp.net said that this book was of basic importance for its learning with inheritance and polimorfismo with asp.net. This in leaves them happy, therefore when we start the studies of the platform net, we do not tinhamos enough knowledge with this, now history is changing and we also moving.

Tyler Cowen:
Be suspicious of simple stories
Like all of us, economist Tyler Cowen loves a good story. But in this intriguing talk, he asks us to step away from thinking of our lives — and our messy, complicated irrational world — in terms of a simple narrative.

This article originally appeared in the June 23, 1981 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
Lunch with director John Waters. The menu: delicately-spiced Vietnamese eggrolls. The conversation topic: eating shit.
"When you've got a real low budget," explains Waters, "you've got to do something that the regular people won't give you. We had $10,000 to make a movie. There were no underground movies left – you had to compete with Shampoo. So, I said to Divine, 'Will you do it? It's gonna take 10 seconds.' And without blinking he said, 'Yeah , sure.' I mean, everybody says 'eat shit.' Well we did it."
Waters, of course, is referring to the final scene of Pink Flamingos, in which Divine (to the innocent strains of "How Much is that Doggie in the window?") devours some freshly-laid poodle turds. Filming the scene proved no small task. Although Waters had had the dog locked up for three days, it still refused to defecate on cue. So, after following the poor creature around Baltimore for an entire afternoon, Waters and his crew did the only sensible thing: they gave it an enema.
"Divine was really ready to eat it," says Waters. "If there had been 40 people around waiting for a bus, he would have done it right in front of them. When he did it, I said, 'Give me a shit-eating grin,' and he did, and then he ran in the house and brushed his teeth….Later, Divine called up the hospital to make sure it was safe, and didn't know what to say. So he said, 'My son ate a dog turd,' and they said, 'What is he – retarded?' and Divine says, 'Yes.' And then they told him that you could get the white worm. But Divine never go it."
John Waters is what one might modestly call a "colorful" individual. Everything about the 34-year-old trash-film auteur has character, from his celery-stalk physique to his penciled-in micro-mustache to his voice – a low, oily drone that gives a sinister snarl of value to every third word. Of course, it's no surprise that the man responsible for some of the most outrageously offensive movies in history is a bit of an eccentric. What's surprising is that he's such a sweet ingratiating guy. Always cynical but never smug, Waters has a knack – acquired, no doubt, with years of practice – of delivering grisly, oddball anecdotes with sly charm. Indeed, a talk with Waters brings back the naughty thrill of listening to your first dirty jokes.
"I believe my movies really are for kids," says Waters, "because their humor is essentially infantile. Everybody has that side when you grow up, but you just don't talk about it; you repress it." Somehow, Waters never learned how. He admits that being reared in a family of conservative Catholics fed his obsession with all things bleak and ugly. Well that and living down the street from Divine. "I used to see Divine every day, when my father would take me to school," he recalls. "And I noticed my father shuddering, because Divine would be standing there with different-colored hair every day. Until he was 16 or 17, Divine never went out of the house. He was constantly with his parents. And then he discovered marijuana. Divine really went nuts. I mean, he had huge parties that he'd give bad checks for. He was always one step ahead of the police, landlords, that sort of thing. But then, we were all like that. When we made a movie called Eat Your Make-Up, Divine's parents found his Jackie Kennedy outfit and they said, 'What's this?' Divine said, 'I am Jackie Kennedy!'"

Hip joint replacement is surgery to replace all or part of the hip joint with a man-made joint. The artificial joint is called a prosthesis.
Hip arthroplasty; Total hip replacement; Hip hemiarthroplasty
Your hip joint is made up of two major parts. One or both parts may be replaced during surgery:
The new hip that replaces the old one is made up of these parts:
You will not feel any pain during surgery. You will have one of two types of anesthesia:
After you receive anesthesia, your surgeon will make a surgical cut to open up your hip joint. Often this cut is over the buttocks. Then your surgeon will:
This surgery takes about 1 - 3 hours.
The most common reason to have this surgery is to relieve severe arthritis pain that is limiting your activities.
Most of the time, hip joint replacement is done in people age 60 and older, but many people who have this surgery are younger. Younger people who have a hip replaced may put extra stress on the artificial hip. That extra stress can cause it to wear out earlier than in older patients. Part or all of the joint may need to be replaced again if that happens.
Your doctor may recommend a hip replacement for these problems:
Other reasons for replacing the hip joint are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
Practice using a
On the day of your surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
You will stay in the hospital for 2 - 3 days. During that time you will recover from your anesthesia, and from the surgery itself. You will be asked to start moving and walking as soon as the first day after surgery.
Some people need a short stay in a rehabilitation center after they leave the hospital and
Hip replacement surgery results are often excellent. Most or all of your pain and stiffness should go away.
Some people may have problems with infection, loosening, or even dislocation of the new hip joint.
Over time the artificial hip joint will loosen. This can happen after as long as 15 - 20 years. You may need a second replacement.
Younger, more active people may wear out parts of their new hip. It may need to be replaced before the artificial hip loosens.

NEW YORK -- VF Corp., whose stable of banners includes Vans and The North Face, announced an aggressive growth, including plans to open 400 U.S. stores across its various brands during the next five years. The company discussed these plans and more at an investor conference held recently in New York City.
In addition to the U.S. expansion, VF is looking to open some 225 stores in Europe and 80 in Asia. The expansion is expected to bring the company's global store count to 1,500 units.
Speaking at the conference, VF chairman and CEO, Eric Wiseman, discussed the company's plans to reach its 2015 goals of adding $5 billion in revenues and $5 in earnings per share growth from 2010 levels.
"VF's momentum continues to build," said Wiseman. "We're approaching the next five years with confidence, and with the belief that the full potential of our brands is just beginning to unfold. We have a strategic plan in place to drive revenues at a 10 percent annual rate and earnings at a 12 percent annual rate, with operating margins rising to 15% over the next five years. Our goal is to reach $12.7 billion in revenues by 2015. Growth will come domestically and internationally, across all coalitions, and in both our wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses."
During the next five years, the company expects to generate $3 billion from its outdoor and action sports division, where revenues have grown on average by 17% over the past five years, $1 billion from growth in Jeanswear through the Wrangler and Lee brands, led by expansion in international markets such as Asia, Europe and Latin America and $1 billion from higher revenues across Sportswear, Imagewear and Contemporary Brands.

We got some frames from a guy and noticed the webbing and a few worms. So we froze the frames in the freezer for 5 days. Then moved them in a bag out to the shed. When I looked today at the frames, there was a live worm! So thinking freezing doesn't kill all eggs. What else might work, or should we burn the frames?
Thanks for any advice!

FYI: The engine is completely written in C#, and is built upon a data-driven architecture. It is also fully platform-agnostic and API-agnostic, so I must take care to ensure what I do works across DirectX 10 - 11 and OpenGL (as well as custom software renderers and 3rd party back-ends).
Attached to my post is an example diagram which shows how a platform-specific implementation of the "Renderer" interface (in this case the D3D10 implementation) "plugs in" to the engine. I added this to give you an idea of how the code is structured. Now tell me, if you please, how I need to be managing my render targets, depth stencils and all such things...
EDIT: Note that in the diagram the "Engine" and "Application" parts are NOT actually classes... they are simply representative of how things sort of fit together.

Sep 18, 2009 at 1:55 pm #1239436
I have a MLD DuoMid, and just me getting in and out during a downpour is not an issue as I keep my gear away from the door. But how do you cope with two people (or more), especially when you have a floored bug net set up inside?
I'm considering a bigger 'mid to accommodate others but can't get past the "raining in the door" issue.
Experiences greatly appreciated.
As are links, as I assume this is a well covered subject.
Thanks.Sep 18, 2009 at 2:25 pm #1528630

My MLD Duomid has a mid point opening option on the zipper. In heavy rain (light snow)conditions I only open the door to the mid point, this provides added protection/coverage to the inside. This has worked well for me when hiking solo with my trail dog.Sep 18, 2009 at 2:40 pm #1528634
Just you, or you and another in the DuoMid?
Even with a 'half-zip' and crawl-under approach I can't quite see how to keep a 2nd persons gear, or a full-sized bivy from taking on a lot of water during a rain storm, in DuoMid or in a SuperMid.
There ain't no porch and the rain is coming down hard…Sep 18, 2009 at 3:18 pm #1528648

One could suspect that pyramid tents are designed for the American summer for lowland regions where you get no more than a slight sprinkle of rain. The basic pyramid design just does not cope well with heavy vertical rain.
That said, the pyramid design is very robust and has been used in the Antarctic for expeditions – but those tents are much larger and a lot heavier, and the wind is usually enough to blow the snow past the tent rather than letting it fall in. Different situation.
There is no one UL tent which covers every situation perfectly. You may need several tents … :-)
CheersSep 18, 2009 at 3:44 pm #1528659
I am not talking from actual experience here, but i have been thinking a lot about MIDs recently :). One option could be to get a MID that is one size up from the inner you are going to be using effectively creating a porch. Or you could pitch a small tarp at he entrance. Or you could roll back the inner net (but this is obviously not ideal. Many poeple seem to conclude that the Duomid is a bit tight for long term two person use.Sep 18, 2009 at 4:17 pm #1528673
It seems to me a Duomid (used for one person) would perform well in vertical rain when used as described by Thom. Probably not much different from other shelter types where the porch area gets wet when you enter and leave the tent?Sep 18, 2009 at 4:31 pm #1528676

@verberLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
I can certainly understand why you are considering a larger MID. I would think that managing the DuoMid with two in a heavy rain would be a bit of a challenge.
A large MID which had a decent clearance between the door and the "living area" works great. I have use larger single hump (GoLite Hex3, 4 & 6 person mids) and 2 humb (MLD Superfly, MSR Twin Peaks) without problem. Just make sure the groundsheet or bug shelter stops before the door overhang, and treat that area like a vestibule (or porch using terminology used above). This works great in vertical rain, just like I would image the DuoMid works as a solo shelter.
Obviously the DuoMid doesn't have extra room when used by two people. When both people are awake I would most likely shift everything to the inside 1/2 of the shelter. If I needed to go out I would push back the ground cloth and exits. When I came back I would shut the door and re-extend the groundcloth. IN the middle of the night with the person by the door sleeping you are either going to need to move them or let them get wet.

Much as Mark said… in and out, shove everything to the side away from the door, except I wouldn't unstake the inner, just wipe it down with a pack towel.
That said, as awesome as the Duomid is, for a hassle-free rain entry I'd consider the Supermid with your (Duomid) insert. The Supermid is only 2.5 ounces heavier than a Duomid (comparing both in cuben). Seems like quite a reasonable weight addition for completely dry, easy entry and egress in downpours. Plus a huge vestibule!Sep 18, 2009 at 4:50 pm #1528681
As noted in my original post – I am considering a SuperMid, IF I can figure out how to deal with rain….
Anyone with BIG MID experience care to chime in?Sep 18, 2009 at 4:53 pm #1528683

Worth noting that those pyramid tents used in Antarctica (Scott Polar Pyramid) have a protected tunnel entry (a tube with double closure )

@4quietwoodsLocale: Michigan
Greg, I've used two bigger mids, a 4-person w/liner (heavy, Dana Nuktuk, like Megamid) and a Shangri La 3. With those two I just keep stuff to each side of the door and use the middle of the tent as a wet zone. If it's really pouring out I'll wipe up the floor a bit with a pack towel. If I were using a half-size liner, I'm confident that no rain would get into the liner with normal entry/egress. Especially if it (the liner) were more alpha-mid-ish, vertical on one side, sloped to the back… but I also think it would work quite well with yours…Sep 18, 2009 at 5:18 pm #1528689
I have a GoLite Hex 3 and because of its size, getting in and out of heavy rain has certainly not been a big deal. The DuoMid is a lot smaller, I wouldn't want that for 2 in lots of rain. I can't see a problem with the Supermid though, that thing is massive. Look at this porch style setup, it should be fine http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/shop/popup_image.php?pID=123&image=2&osCsid=1d7765b8d1736086f195faef90c2d751Sep 18, 2009 at 5:30 pm #1528693
What I see is the front 1/4 of the 'Mid getting soaked. In a hexaganol Hex3 a partially open door doesn't intrude into the primary space.
Maybe I just have to try it to believe it, but if there were a full-sized floored bug net (the 90"x90" MLD SuperMid InnerNet) in there things would not be pretty. Especially around 2 am when things always go super-critical.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm Trying to believe, I really am.
Or maybe I need to look at the Hex.Sep 18, 2009 at 5:37 pm #1528696
"What I see is the front 1/4 of the 'Mid getting soaked"
So what?
There's enough room for 2 in there even if that happens.
I do use a bivy though, not a full insect mesh inner tent.
Also, in pouring rain, you wouldn't leave the door open, you'd just exit when you needed to.Sep 18, 2009 at 5:45 pm #1528698
As Brad said "I'd consider the Supermid with your (Duomid) insert." This is the best solution I think, as it gives you the same set up as when you use the Duomid solo. I have a Shangrila 6 that I use with a Shangrila 4 nest and this provides a huge vestibule. However if I used it with the nest designed for the six I would have trouble keeping the rain out when we get in and out. The basic principle is to use an inner a size down from the outer.Sep 18, 2009 at 5:47 pm #1528700
You might be getting through…;-)
A MLD Duo InnerNet at 50" wide would provide the essential bug protection AND leave the front available for gear etc. that is typically in a vestibule, and provide additional space for cooking or whatever.
It would be the 'mud room'. Occasional splatters wouldn't matter.
Thanks for you insistence!Sep 18, 2009 at 5:56 pm #1528701
That sounds good.
Also, unless you are consistently camping in somewhere like Fiordland NZ which gets 6 meters of rain a year, I think its easy to overly analyse a situation which doesn't happen that frequently anyway.Sep 18, 2009 at 6:01 pm #1528702

@mfog1Locale: Midwest
I just received my Supermid last week, I have not gotten the chance to use if yet, but think with any more than 3 persons WITH gear you "might" have issues with rain over the door coming in and out? With the angle of the walls there is not as much room at your head and feet as you would think for a shelter that's 9' X 9' Still a great shelter though, that I'm looking forward to using this winter, at least a few times anyway? I guess you might be able to place 3 persons with (1) person at each side and the 3rd at the back wall with your gear down the middle, but away from the door?
I should mention I had a Golite Hex3, and for 2, there was never any problems with rain over the door coming in and out. The Hex3 was great for 2 but not really big enough for 3, IMHO anyway.
Probably the best way to deal with rain in a group is for someone to carry a 10×10 sil tarp and store all your gear under this and hang-out and cook under it too. I don't know how many times we all had to crawl into our shelters early because of rain, and the tent or shelter was your only means of escaping the rain, and getting some relief from it.Sep 18, 2009 at 6:10 pm #1528705
"I think its easy to overly analyze a situation which doesn't happen that frequently anyway."
Wind Rivers September '08 – Rained/snowed 8 out of 10 days
CDT October '08 – blizzard conditions from 2pm till morning.
Wind Rivers August '09 – Snowed or rained 3 out of 6
Weminuche '09 – rained 3 out of 10
BWCA '09 – 1 out of 10
In each case it was torrential/monsoonal for several hours. Floors were floating. Anything less doesn't deserve mention.

I have used a BD Megamid and a Mountain Hardwear Kiva extensively in the rain without any problems. Have almost always used them in floorless mode for the advantage of not having to worry about spilled food, liquids, rain coming in through the door…etc…
I've used these as kitchen tents on many a long trek as well without any problem. I've never had any netting in them however. When there are enough bugs out that I want netting I take a different kind of shelter. I've always liked mids for their simplicity and adding a floor or netting seems to make things complicated.
I just got a new MLD Supermid and I'll be spending 6 nights in it on the JMT week with another person. Should be interesting to see how it compares with my 11 year old megamid.Sep 18, 2009 at 6:41 pm #1528719
I am looking forward to your report. Hope all goes well. Have a great trip.Sep 18, 2009 at 6:43 pm #1528720
You could always put down a polycro groundsheet to cover part of the vestibule area. It wont be a bathtub design, but could help prevent things getting too muddy and provide good area for getting out of wet clothes.Sep 18, 2009 at 6:45 pm #1528722

Please post a combo trip & gear report when you get back! I've been contemplating using my Supermid for an upcoming trip in October, but want to use my Cuben Patrol more so. The Supermid would probably be warmer with 2 inside, pitched tight to the ground. I just might use it, instead of the Patrol? My buddy can carry the water filter and I'll carry the Supermid.Sep 18, 2009 at 10:34 pm #1528761

@umnakLocale: Southeast Alaska
We use a 9×9 Oware Pyramid here in Southeast Alaska's Tongass rainforest from September through April. The rainy season begins in August and lasts until November, then it either snows or continues to sprinkle. Two of us with gear in the Pyramid makes for a comfortable shelter. We try to place the bivy sacks away from the open door but sometimes that doesn't work, especially at night. It really doesn't matter that a bit of rain comes in the door, but our goal is to be fast!

Just to caveat this post... I am not distressed, or worried, or concerned. I am actually a bit excited that I may be on my way to gaining another queen! (which would let me start another hive) I am just not 100% sure how to proceed.
Over the past week I have watched the bees (through the observation window) create what seems to be queen cups (not capped yet). I have counted three of theses cups (from the window) that are larger than the surround cells, on the very edge of the comb, and are being worked on with the cell hole oriented almost vertically down. Again.. they are on the edges, not the face of the comb. (I am assuming that these are more likely to be the start of swarm cells then.)
Since expanding the brood nest last week I added 4 new bars in between 5 other bars of straight brood comb. 2 of these bars are built up nicely (50-60% built) with fresh new comb, 2 of the bars have not a singles cell on them yet. (Full brood bars 6-7-8-9-10.. empty in between 6-7 and 9-10.. partially built between 7-8 and 8-9) I cannot tell if any of the new comb has eggs in it yet from just looking through the observation window.
I still have yet to have a second hive or nuc built yet. My thoughts are to first open the hive and observe to see if any of the new comb has eggs in it. I also plan to see if I can find the existing queen. If they are swarm cells, I assume that I should expand the hive a bit correct? Any thoughts on why two of the bars I have added have not been touched by the bees?
I may take one of the bars with cells on it, and place it in a new hive. Thoughts?
Any other advice or things I should consider.

UTSA, Northwest Vista College partner on access
(Oct. 11, 2006)--Northwest Vista College (NVC) has partnered with UTSA to provide access to college to students who do not meet UTSA's admission criteria for incoming freshman but receive deferred admission to UTSA.
The Joint Undergraduate Matriculation Program (JUMP!) offers students the opportunity to begin college as a freshman at Northwest Vista, where they can complete either the UTSA or NVC core curriculum.
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
After completing 42 core hours for UTSA or 46 hours for NVC core curriculum with a minimum 2.0 grade point average and good academic and social standing, JUMP! students are guaranteed admission to UTSA as transfer students.
Other benefits for students in the JUMP! program include a dedicated NVC adviser to ensure students are taking transferable classes, a waived application fee to UTSA when students apply as a transfer student, and eligibility for a $2,000 scholarship to complete upper-division courses at UTSA; the scholarship is in addition to other financial aid for which they may be eligible.
"The JUMP! program is one of many partnerships we have with UTSA," said Jacqueline Claunch, Northwest Vista College president. "With this program, students who need help the most are getting assistance so that they do not have to delay higher education."
MaileIrene Perales, 18, found out about the JUMP! program from her mother, who spoke with an NVC adviser. "I think it's an excellent idea," said Perales. "I was lost and I didn't know what to do, but the adviser of the program helped me get over the fear of being in college for the first time."
On Sept. 7, NVC hosted "JUMP! Night" for students such as Perales to welcome the first group of JUMP! students and their parents. The students learned about Northwest Vista College and met a UTSA representative to establish connections with both institutions.
Northwest Vista College, which opened in 1995, is part of the Alamo Community College District. The college is at 3535 N. Ellison Drive, next to SeaWorld of Texas.

text: Pistons' Joe Dumars expects right attitude from potential draftees BY PERRY A. FARRELL FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER For Pistons president Joe Dumars, drafting a potential NBA player means more than just watching film and conferring with scouts, especially when dealing with a youngster who has to exhibit patience and talent to keep team chemistry in order. Dumars said if you asked Austin Daye, DaJuan Summers or Jonas Jerebko what his conversations with Dumars were like before being drafted, "They would tell you that during the pre-draft meetings we had with them before the draft we talked to them about what's going to happen when you're not playing for two months. "Guys are like, 'I'll be able to handle it.' And what I say to guys is, 'It's easy to say that today because the draft is in two weeks and you really want your name called out. I'm sure you're willing to say whatever to me right now, but that's going to be real and that's going to be a reality for you. Don't tell me today you're going to be OK with it and think that once it starts you're going to be able to sulk and pout and get sympathy from me. It's not going to happen.' " Jerebko eventually became a starter and key contributor while Summers sat and seemed to handle the situation a tad bit better than Daye, who was the team's first-round pick and is younger than both Jerebko and Summers. Daye turns 22 on Saturday. Dumars said he issues a warning during his chats with potential picks. "If you can't handle this you may want to raise your hand and say something to me right now that I may struggle with this, because if you come here and you struggle with this you and I are going to have a problem," he said. "Don't tell me you can do this. I know this is tough for them. What I'm saying to them is don't react the wrong way to it. I expect it to be tough, but I don't want to see any attitude."

The pilot project was launched to promote digitalization in Denmark's maritime cluster, dubbed "Blue Denmark," and to shed light on the long-term possibilities of digitalizing the entire ship registration process.
Increasingly high rents charged to chassis providers by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey could hurt the port's overall competitiveness, says Dennis Daggett, executive vice president of the International Longshoremen's Association.
The maritime information provider and creator of the famed Baltic Dry Index will work closely with shipbrokers and end-users to create new freight rate benchmarks and indices to be launched later this year, according to Baltic Exchange CEO Mark Jackson.
