Est. 1903
Situated in picturesque Royal Park, the course is both attractive and challenging, only 3 kms from the city, with the honour of being possibly the only golf course with a tram and train line running through it. The Club has been the nursery for many golfers who went on to make a mark in the golfing world, including Peter Thomson (club champion at the age of 16, in 1945) who won the British Open 5 times, Gus Jackson and Mick Ryan. Peter and Mick were both included in the VGA's Victorian Team of the Century in 2002.

Inception (Film Score)
In 1986 Zimmer joined David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto on their Oscar-winning score to The Last Emperor; his work on the apartheid drama A World Apart was his first major solo credit, and led to his Academy Award-nominated score for 1988's Best Picture-winning smash Rain Man. The following year Zimmer again composed the soundtrack for a Best Picture winner, this time Bruce Beresford's Driving Miss Daisy; a remarkably prolific writer, by the time the '90s dawned his music was a Hollywood staple, with a list of hits including Black Rain, Backdraft, Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, and Days of Thunder. Zimmer scored his biggest commercial hit in 1994 with his work on Disney's The Lion King; the film's soundtrack garnered countless awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys. Later adapted for the Broadway stage, The Lion King took home the 1998 Tony for Best Musical as well.
In 1995, Zimmer also earned a Grammy for his work on Crimson Tide, which was honored as Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture. Another Academy Award nomination followed for 1996's The Preacher's Wife; that same year, he earned BMI's prestigious Richard Kirk Award for lifetime achievement. Zimmer earned another Oscar nomination for his work on the James L. Brooks comedy As Good as It Gets in 1997, repeating the feat for the third consecutive year in 1998 with his score for the Terrence Malick masterpiece The Thin Red Line. His contributions to The Prince of Egypt also earned a Golden Globe bid earlier that same year.
The 2000s marked an auspicious time in the composer's career, as he continued scoring the biggest A-list films of the season, averaging two or three blockbusters a year, including Hannibal, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, and The Da Vinci Code. In 2007, Silva Screen Records released Film Music of Hans Zimmer, a double-disc set highlighting his achievements as a movie music-maker. Later in 2007, he reworked Alf Clausen's zany Simpsons theme into a traditional symphonic film score on The Simpsons Movie. As the 2000s came to a close and the 2010s began, Zimmer's name remained synonymous with blockbusters as he scored later installments in the Sherlock Holmes, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Batman franchises, including 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. His score to Christopher Nolan's 2010 film Inception was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music and Original Score, and also earned a Saturn from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for Best Music. Devastated by the Aurora, Colorado shootings in 2012, Zimmer composed a choral arrangement of the Dark Knight Rises theme, simply entitled "Aurora," to help raise money for the victims of the tragedy.
In 2014 Zimmer released the score for The Amazing Spider Man 2, which was issued under the moniker Hans Zimmer & the Magnificent Six and featured contributions from Johnny Marr (the Smiths), Junkie XL, Michael Einziger (Incubus), Andrew Kawczynski, Pharrell Williams, and Steve Mazzaro. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Roll-over crash near Rush kills one
Around 9:30 Wednesday morning, Allen Rempel was driving southbound on Rush Road, and Colorado statetroopers said the 22-year-old lost control of his vehicle.
Sgt. J.R. Mullins with the Colorado State Patrol said the car rolled multiple times. Rempel was ejected from the car and died of the resulting injuries.
Colorado State Patrol said Rempel was not wearing a seat belt, and said speed played a role in this crash.
"We do expect excessive speed to play a role here on the dirt road, and that is something we encourage motorists to take heed of when you're out on a dirt road," said Mullins.
He added that conditions on dirt and gravel roads can change from smooth to bumpy in an instant, and advises all drivers to drive cautiously when traveling through the country.
According to longtime friend, Steven Leckenvy, Rempel will be greatly missed.
"He was a good guy, fun, loving, caring," said Leckenvy, who said he considered Rempel to be like a little brother.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) on Thursday, Sept. 5, implemented a new recreational hunting and fishing license exemption for disabled veterans, active and reserve duty military personnel, immediate family members of these veterans and military personnel and assistants during special events designed for the enjoyment or rehabilitation of participating military personnel and disabled veterans.
Storms, sun, rain, storms, more sun, more rain, then more rain. Oh, and water spouts, can't forget them. My question is, when are "we", the fishermen, gonna get a break from this cycle? It's been cramping our style but it's beginning to get flat old.
Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge is feeling the crunch of the sequestration in a variety of ways; therefore management has to make tough decisions. Conservation of habitat and public lands is vitally important to the mission of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. As a result, a new boardwalk has been constructed on Atsena Otie in order to protect the ancient midden side of the island from even more erosion.
ST. PETERSBURG — The Coast Guard along with commercial salvage rescued four people approximately 13 miles west of Cedar Key Saturday.
The Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg received an emergency position indicating radio beacon alert at 8:41 p.m., plotting an area with rough weather.
An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Clearwater arrived on scene and located a swamped boat, with four people clinging to the hull.

I've always liked the idea of Hinduism. Not so much the being a vegetarian part - bacon sandwiches are too good for that to be feasible. Abstinence isn't really my cup of sangria, either.
It's more the element of choice available to your average Hindu. Where Christians and Jews and Muslims are lumped with just the one all-powerful entity to tremble before, our subcontinental brethren are presented with a smorgasbord of deities from which to select a favourite worthy of their reverence.
Want riches and good fortune? Lakshmi is your lady. Wisdom and an obstacle-free life? Ganesh is clearly your guy. A little bit of everything? Perhaps consider Vishnu.
And it goes on and on. With 330 million gods to choose from, it's pretty certain you'll be able to find at least one to fit your particular needs. Religion needn't be about fear in the Hindu world - it can just be about finding the idol best positioned to help you.
And so it goes in Guatemala, too. At least, you assume so, because for what other reason would a society worship a god who has a passion for little more than rum and cigars?
What a guy. His name is Maximon and he's part Mayan god, part Catholic saint. He has a long, complicated history that warps and moulds various Guatemalan cultures and beliefs into one wooden, booze-loving deity.
Maximon - or at least the wooden effigy of the great man - resides in the village of Santiago Atitlan, along the shores of beautiful Lake Atitlan. There he does what gods of rum and cigars do best: drinks rum and smokes cigars.
Now here is a god I could worship. Instead of smiting sinners or inventing mosquitoes or allowing Alan Jones to become famous, Maximon appears to do little more than sit at home drinking and smoking - and, presumably, ensuring his followers have the means to do the same.
What a guy.
(OK, Maximon does do slightly more than drink and smoke. He has a vengeful side and apparently cuckolded his worshippers' wives once, but if you keep him well lubricated and support his nicotine addiction, he'll play nice.)
For someone who sits around drinking and smoking all day, Maximon the effigy is surprisingly mobile. He doesn't live in a church or atop a mountain or even in a bar somewhere. Instead, he's passed regularly between different family homes in Santiago Atitlan, living in the lounge rooms of his flock, smoking his cigars and drinking his rum and generally looking tough.
It's a nice idea, this living situation, a good way for worshippers to get up close and personal with their deity, but it can make finding Maximon a little difficult for gawking visitors. It's no good looking in a guidebook because by the time it's gone to print, Maximon has moved to another house. And it's not as though there are signs posted. You just have to figure it out for yourself.
Fortunately, there's always help at hand. I step off at the ferry dock in Santiago Atitlan and already there are kids surrounding me, offering their help in my search for the great god of booze and smokes. Apparently, I'm not the first to make this pilgrimage.
I agree to employ the services of one kid, who immediately skips ahead through the town's crumbling, narrow streets. We make our way along the shoreline, past small concrete houses in states of disrepair, before eventually stopping outside a place distinguishable only by the small queue of camera-toting travellers waiting by the door. Maximon's house.
It's dark inside. Small beams of light shoot down from holes in the ceiling, illuminating shards of swirling smoke. There's a soft chant coming from the worshippers gathered in one corner, where Maximon sits serenely surrounded by candles, cigarette in his mouth, rum at his feet, staring a blank wooden stare across the room.
He is not beautiful. This version of Maximon actually looks a bit like one of those fake butlers some people have in their homes, the ones that hold ashtrays or carry towels.
He's dressed in traditional garb, with a hat covering his rough wooden head.
Cameras occasionally flash as tourists shuffle in and out of the room in the house on the shores of Lake Atitlan. The guardians keep up their incantations.
The idol remains unfazed.
I don't spend too long in the presence of wooden, smoky Maximon, just enough time to drop a few coins at his feet and silently pray for a long life of rum and cigars. Then it's back into the bright light, back along the shores of the lake and back into a ferry to make my way across the water to the town of Panajachel.
It's a safe trip, which must mean Maximon is happy.
Or just hammered.

This Morning: Rough Day for Computers (HPQ, AAPL, DELL), Cheers for GOOG, QCOM
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are down $1, or 4.3%, at $22.31 in early trading as Goldman Sachs's hardware analyst Bill Shope goes on the warpath, cutting his view of technology overall to "Cautious" from Neutral, after deciding PC trends are worse than he'd expected.
On HP, Shope cut the stock to Sell from Neutral, with a $16 price target, writing that "sentiment has moved ahead of reality" in the Street's enthusiasm for HP's turnaround. Estimates may come down and a recovery in earnings power "will be muted through 2014," he thinks. Shope also cut estimates for Dell (DELL).
Speaking of Dell, CEO Michael Dell sent a letter to employees yesterday, setting forth "a better understanding of our vision for the future."
CNBC's David Faber, in a huddle with Jim Cramer and Carl Quintanilla this morning, remarked on the note, saying "Interesting he's trying to rally the troops. This is a distraction for Dell. One wonders if HP is taking market share from Dell."
"I think Dell is also caught up in a worldwide slowdown for hardware, as is HP," said Cramer.
Goldman's Shope also stripped his "Conviction List" designation for Apple (AAPL) stock, though he maintains a Buy rating on the shares, cutting his price target to $575 from $660, after cutting estimates for this calendar year.
Apple shares are up $4.23, or 1%, at $433.14, this morning, while Dell stock is down a penny at $14.29.
"We continue to believe Apple's platform-centric business model makes its cash flows and installed base loyalty far more resilient," writes Shope, but "we believe the stock's outperformances over the next 12 months willb e more closely tied to whether or not the company's next product cycles can reinvigorate market share momentum."
Speaking of Apple, Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek this morning writes that hhis "in-depth analysis" of smartphones, including incomes and "ecosystem strength," suggest that growth is coming from phones below $200, wholesale, and that an iPhone at $350 to $400 is too expensive. He thinks there's risk to Apple's estimates for next year. Misek reiterates a Hold rating and a $420 price target on Apple.
Speaking of smartphones, Raymond James's Tavis McCourt raised his rating this morning on shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) to Strong Buy from Outperform, and raises his price target to $83 from $80, writing that investors are overly concerned with how much competition the company faces in chips for "long-term evolution," or LTE, wireless. While growth will slow the next 2 years for Qualcomm, nevertheless, "Qualcomm will maintain a meaningful advantage on high end smartphones as it moves to 20 nm (competition at 28nm in 2014) and continues to lead the world in SoC integration," writes McCourt.
Qualcomm stock is up 38 cents, or 0.6%, at $66.38.
Google (GOOG) gets a thumbs up today from UBS's Eric Sheridan, with an initiation of coverage at Buy, with a $945 price target, and Sheridan adds the stock to the "U.S. Key Call list," writing that the company is "best positioned for long-term secular growth based on the UBS Internet prism."
"We believe Google's current investments in 10x opportunities provide call-option-like return potential," writes Sheridan.
Google stock is up $5.73, or 0.7%, at $806.92.
Shares of Verizon Communications (VZ) are up 28 cents, or 0.6%, at $49.50, amidst more rumors of a possible unwinding of its wireless joint venture with Vodafone (VOD). The Financial Times's Alphaville's Bryce Elder wrote this morning that Verizon is at work with AT&T (T) on a deal to collectively buy out Vodafone's stake at a 40% premium to Vodafone's current price, citing unnamed sources "usually reliable."
Vodafone shares are up $1.49, or 5.3%, at $29.83.

text: Artists Inspiration:No other time in human history has a social movement been as vital for all to participate as is our current ecological movement. Humankind has been given the miracle of consciousness to continually look upon itself in an effort to evolve in balance with the natural world. We have arrived at a place in our evolution that is crucial for us to live up to our abilities. Since our beginning we have sought out eco conscious hardwoods, sheet-goods and finishes. Our intent has led us to continually find new resources and as a result we have evolved in ways unimagined. This journey has also been an affirmation that there are many companies within all industries that have the same intent. we use only FSC certified hardwoods, sheet goods, and reclaimed lumber. Our primary finish is plant based oil and wax with no metallic dryers. Our glue is non toxic and we use a low VOC water based polyurethane when requested. When we are all working for a cause that�s rooted in personal responsibility first, we are fulfilling our destiny to be in tune with our true home. The Earth.

One thing I love to do is bake! And when I explain baking to other people I explain it as a form of chemistry. Everything you do has to be measured correctly and tested perfectly to achieve the best results. The only major difference is the end result of baking tends to be much tastier. :D

Re: WHAK-A-mol
This is in honor of the only thing I remember from Chemistry, the mole.
The mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance, equal to about 6.02214×1023 molecules of that substance. It is one of the base units in the International System of Units, and has the unit symbol mol.[1]
From wikipedia: The mole is widely used in chemistry, instead of units of mass or volume, as a convenient way to express the amounts of reagents and products of chemical reactions. For example, the chemical equation 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O implies that 2 mol of dihydrogen and 1 mol of dioxygen react to form 2 mol of water. The mole may also be used to express the number of atoms, ions, or other elementary entities in some sample. The concentration of a solution is commonly expressed by its molarity, the number of moles of the dissolved subtance per liter of solution.

The Destination
Not to point any fingers, but if any one part of Cancun Island is to blame for its paradisiacal reputation, it's Punta Cancún, the easternmost reach of the resort district. With the Caribbean beside it, lagoons within, and nightspots and restaurants aplenty, Punta Cancun is both relaxed and refined. Under the care of trademark hotel-zone hospitality, you're not at fault for spending your entire vacation in a shoreside beach chair–but with the bus to downtown just minutes away, opportunities for exploration are endless.
The Digs
A deluxe all-inclusive Cancun resort featuring stylish Mediterranean architecture and stunning ocean views, GR Caribe by Solaris All Inclusive offers the whole of a tropical vacation experience in one easy setting. Rooms feature a king-size bed or two double beds with plush linens, and some rooms have a small living room. Luxe marble-clad bathrooms provide complimentary bathrobes and fine bath products. On-site all-inclusive restaurants and bars include food-and-beverage service nearly round the clock.
The Diversions
From the open-air, beachfront Jacuzzis to the gourmet lobster dinner, romance abounds at this exotic retreat. Indulge with a couples massage at Solaris' sister resort, the Royal Solaris Cancun, where guests enjoy unlimited and included access. Or, just bask in the Mexican sun from the comfort of the private beach and marina, where you can enjoy numerous included non-motorized water sports or book a select scheduled tour for an additional fee. Kids are taken care of, too—Kid's Club services provide hours of child-centered programming and the mini water park is sure to make a splash.
"The staff was very attentive and the property was beautiful and nicer than many of the mega-hotels. With access to the sister property next door, we had a choice of several restaurants, and they have kayaks and paddleboats available on the lagoon."-- TripAdvisor

gold is not heavy, per se. you should HAVE enough gold to worry about its weigh, 12 troy ozs to one normal lb and $1700 (or whatever) per oz means 50 lbs of gold is a million $. :-)
FORGET GOLD: Here's Where Die-Hard Skeptics Are Storing Their Wealth
Lucas Kawa
Oct. 15, 2012, 4:02 PM
Any thoughts about persistent safe havens (other than perhaps cash under your mattress) are dangerous," warned Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
However, the market skeptics would argue otherwise.
The most popular so-called safe haven — an asset class that doesn't lose value — is probably gold.
But gold can be heavy and costly to store. Furthermore, with gold trading at historically high levels, the die hard skeptics have turned to everything ranging from art and whiskey, to esoteric currencies.
Many traditional and unorthodox opportunities are available that may offer a positive return and/or protection against inflation. You might be surprised at what cracks this comprehensive (but not exhaustive) list of safe havens.
Guns and Ammo
The ability of guns and ammunition to store value makes them an appealing investment option on their own merits. According to ammo.net, the price of Remington .223 rounds rose 224 percent from 1999 to 2011 – well above the rate of inflation.
Gun sales spiked after the election of Barack Obama in anticipation of more stringent gun control laws.The Wall Street Journal reports that a similar boost in sales is expected in the event of the President's re-election, and also notes that the supply of guns has not kept pace with demand.
Earlier in 2012, CEO Michael O. Fifer of Sturm, Ruger & Co. suspended the acceptance of new orders after 1Q sales exceeded expectations.

Well I'm still surprised that more prepper types aren't interested in learning how to just go find some Gold, rather than buy it. I suppose it is because it involves hard work, which is beneath most people these days.. 95% of the gold in the U.S.A. is just waiting to be prospected & mined.
I think this is priceless knowledge to have in tough times.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Find it?
I keep running into people that "have some gold" that turn out to have some share certificates they bought off some place on the internet.
If it isn't in your hand, you don't have any.
i think lead and steel are going to be better in the long haul.
one day i figure food will be so scarce gold won't buy it. i don't know if we will live to see that day though.
i am not looking much at investments anyway-- more like just survival.
Bradrock I would love to find some gold. The places I have been panning are tourist traps. Its hard to find a real gold mining area in NC.
so who says you have to STAY in NC, for starters? Google for where it's at. CA still has some, other NW states, too. ALaska is the main source, but only for the 4 month "summer, spring, fall". :-) No trading material will mean a thing for a year after shtf, you won't dare show yourself. then the trade will all be in veternary powder meds, for a year or so, then MAYBE gold and silver will start to have trade value, but .22lr ammo is likely to be more in demand, altho the animals will be gone the first 1-2 months of shtf. 22 bullet in you means death without modern health care, and .22's are easily silenced, and the ammo is easily cached today. Nobody will be wanting to carry anything heavier or harder to find ammo for.
thought oil is where you put your $$$.
Tree huggin' dirt worshipper!
not me. don't know anything about oil, really. The only place I put money these days is into big old houses, fix them up, divide the rooms in half, and rent out by the week, to the homeless. big money in it, but need nearly 70k to get the first one going.

U.S. Probes Firm That Vetted NSA Leaker
WASHINGTON—Federal inspectors have been conducting a criminal investigation for more than a year of the company that performed a background check on Edward Snowden, the former systems analyst who leaked some of the nation's most closely held secrets to the media, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
USIS, the largest contractor involved in conducting security background checks for the federal government, is being scrutinized over allegations about a "systematic failure to adequately conduct investigations," Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) said during a special congressional hearing. Those allegations aren't related to Mr. Snowden.
Federal officials confirmed the investigation Thursday and added that there also may have been problems with USIS's 2011 security background check of Mr. Snowden, 29 years old, who fled to Hong Kong to avoid prosecution for admittedly taking years of classified documents while working as a Booz Allen Hamilton contractor at a National Security Agency office in Hawaii.
Later that year, inspectors at the Office of Personnel Management—which oversees more than 90% of the government's security background checks—launched the continuing contracting-fraud investigation of USIS.
Patrick McFarland, inspector general for the Office of Personnel Management, said that there appear to have been problems with the USIS investigation of Mr. Snowden in 2011, though he didn't provide any details. The 2011 background check of Mr. Snowden was a re-investigation for his security clearance.
"We do believe that there may be some problems," Mr. McFarland said during the hearing.
USIS, a Falls Church, Va., company owned by private-equity firm Providence Equity Partners LLC, has more than 7,000 employees and conducts 45% of OPM investigations done by contractors, officials said. Last year, USIS received $200 million for its work, Ms. McCaskill said.
In a statement, USIS said it turned over records last year in response to a subpoena from the agency's inspector general, but that it had never been informed it is under criminal investigation. With regards to Mr. Snowden's security check, the company said it wouldn't comment on confidential investigations.
The nation's background-check system has come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of Mr. Snowden's revelations.
The federal agency spends more than $1 billion a year to conduct 2 million investigations of people seeking security clearances for jobs doing everything from cleaning offices at the State Department to working as covert operatives overseas. Most of that money goes to contractors like USIS.
Of the roughly 2 million investigations in 2012, more than 770,000 involved people requesting new or continued access to classified information.
The system has been plagued by massive backlogs and delays of more than a year for completion of investigations. Current and former investigators have complained the process is antiquated and focuses more on making sure applicants properly fill out a 127-page application form than on thorough background checks.
On Thursday, Mr. McFarland warned that the investigative process is so flawed that it poses a security risk. "There is an alarmingly insufficient level of oversight of the federal investigative-services program," he told lawmakers. "A lack of independent verification of the organization that conducts these important background investigations is a clear threat to national security," he said.
One concern for lawmakers is the pressure on contractors to quickly complete cases to bring in more money for their firms.
Since 2007, 18 people have been convicted of falsifying records while conducting background checks, officials said. Eleven of those were federal workers; seven were contractors.
The latest case came Thursday when Ramon Davila, a former Virgin Islands police commissioner who worked as an independent contractor conducting background checks, pleaded guilty to making false statements about his work. Mr. Davila, who worked at one time for USIS, admitted he didn't conduct a thorough inquiry while working as a contractor for the agency in 2007.
On Thursday, Mr. McFarland said such cases may be the tip of the iceberg. "I believe there may be considerably more," he told lawmakers. "I don't believe that we've caught it all by any stretch."
Federal officials were pressed to explain why USIS could continue to conduct sensitive investigations while under criminal investigation.
Formerly a branch of the federal government, U.S. Investigations Services LLC was spun out of the Office of Personnel Management in 1996. It was renamed USIS after it was acquired by private-equity firms Carlyle Group LP and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe in early 2003 for about $1 billion. Those firms flipped the Falls Church, Va., company to fellow private-equity firm Providence four years later for about $1.5 billion.
Providence, which specializes in buying and selling media, telecom and data companies, has since combined USIS with pre-employment-screening firm HireRight Inc., corporate-investigations firm Kroll Inc. and others under the name Altegrity Inc.

By Lance Traweek / American Press
An early Sunday morning traffic accident in Moss Bluff has claimed the life of a Westlake man.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office officials said Jerry W. Sonnier Jr., 26, was traveling west on Gateway Drive around 2:45 a.m. at a high rate of speed when his car ran off the roadway, striking a ditch and culvert.
"The car then became airborne and landed in the south ditch after overturning several times," CPSO spokeswoman Kim Myers said in a news release.
Sonnier was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
His passenger, 25-year-old Jamie G. Stratton of Lake Charles was taken to a local hospital and is listed in serious condition.
"Neither Sonnier nor Stratton were wearing a seatbelt and high speed is believed to be a contributing factor in this crash," Myers said.
A toxicology report will be conducted as mandated by state law.
The lead investigator is Sr. Cpl. Chris Ramos.

What types of vegetables require pollinators other than honey bees-- such as, say, bumblebees? Or in other words, what types of flowers can honey bees NOT pollinate?
What types of vegetables require pollinators other than honey bees-- such as, say, bumblebees? Or in other words, what types of flowers can honey bees NOT pollinate?
It's not that they can't pollinate them, it's that some plants don't need pollinators, for example, tomatoes, peppers, and other nightshade family plants. Cucurbits do need pollinators, and honeybees are the best ones I've seen, followed by beeflies as a close second. Bumblebees will visit tomato flowers, but they are not needed for pollination. Tomatoes and peppers are wind-pollinated. The pollen in the flower drops down with movement of the plants such as that caused by wind blowing or tapping the cages or plants with a stick.
One example of a plant that honey bees don't readily pollinate would be Red Clover. Bumblebees pollinate red clover and have been introduced in foreign countries (Australia I believe) to pollinate red clover.
As to tomatoes being primarily wind pollinated, I don't think so, but will check again. I have understood that tomatoes are "buzz pollinated" by primarily bumblebees, but other bees can work. The bumblers grab the flower and shake "buzz it". More to come when I have the time to read up. This is why I requested this forum, to prompt questions and answers, or possible answers.
Pollination ecology is new to me but extremely interesting. Looking at pollination ecology (including important economic crops ) through only the eyes of the honey bee is incredibly... well it misses the reality to say the least. Pollinators other than honey bees are essential, and their understanding is equally important as the honey bee.
I'm still on vacation for a few days, Later!!

Michael, be my guest and check on tomato pollination. The "buzzing" pollination is exactly what the wind or tapping the plants does. In fact, tomato seed producers envelope their flower clusters to prevent any insects from visiting the flowers in order to grow tomatoes that are true to species. That's how they get pure seed varieties. If bees or other insects visit the flowers, and there are other tomato varieties nearby, the tomatoes will be cross-pollinated. That's how they come up with hybridized species.
I don't mean to sound argumentative, but I am very familiar with vegetables and pollination.
Below is a little short explanation of tomato pollination from WSU:

This is not a vegetable but since red clover has been mentioned and I have noticed honeybees on the flower heads this summer: "Honeybees can and should be used to increase pollination of red clover. The notion that honey bees do not pollinate red clover because it has deeper florets than other legumes is false". Howell Wheaton, Univ. MO. extension.
I also thought that honeybees did not frequent red clover for I have not seen them on the plants very much in the past. Maybe I didn't look close enough! This year they are working red clover pretty good and there is a nectar flow, but not a lot of the sweet clover is blooming around here; yet.
Sorry, let me try that again..

From what I've seen, honeybees will work red clover, but much prefer other species. I planted some red clover, but didn't keep it up due to lack of interest
dosen't sound argumentative in the least. What you said jives with what I read.
Insects are required for hybrid varieties, but they are self pollinating, wind will self pollinate outdoors, greenhouses require bees or mechanical vibrators.
"Crop Pollination by Bees, Delaplane, K. S., Mayer, D. F."
For Clover, (yea I guess its not a vegetable) the same book says, "Cage studies consistently show that honey bees can pollinate red clover, however the real issue is whether sufficent numbers of honey bees reliably occur under field conditions." So basically, honey bees tend to ignore it if they can get better nectar elsewhere, the book says both honey bees and bumble bees are the most important pollinators.
Other factors favorable to honey bees,
nectar welling up in flowers to sufficient height,
pollen collection from red clover without concern for nectar,
shorter corolla length varieties of red clover.

Obama Accused of 'Overreach' in Chipotle Stop
President Barack Obama has made a habit of popping in for quick lunches around the D.C. area, stopping at a Shake Shack and a Alexandria burger joint in recent months.
And Monday, on the way to a speech on working families, Mr. Obama made a largely uneventful stop at Chipotle. Uneventful, that is, until White House photographer Pete Souza posted a photo late Monday of the president leaning over the sneeze guard to order his burrito bowl toppings.

The reaction was immediate:
'Sir, we're going to have to ask that you don't reach over the glass…' "@petesouza: Obama orders at Chipotle… — Nathan Ryan (@nthnryn) June 24, 2014
@petesouza he's doing a big no no. Picking over the glass!

@petesouza Clearly the sneeze guard wasn't showing enough leadership. So he had to go around it.

I can't believe what Obama did at that Chipotle. Impeachable offense, IMO. Start the proceedings, @SpeakerBoehner.

This chipotle incident showed that the republicans are right. Obama is a dictator.

To be sure, Mr. Obama's rival in the 2012 election, Mitt Romney, also made a stop at Chipotle during the campaign. According to photos from the time, Mr. Romney didn't breach the sneeze guard defenses, but fellow diner, Sen. Rob Portman, did.
Romney did do a side point, however, but from a distance.

Obviously ELI played well, and its not like we su-cked on offense by any stretch, but its way more of a team effort, and i feel that without our defense playing like they did, none of that other stuff has a chance to happen..
I was alittle annoyed Justin Tuck didn't get MVP in 2007 SB... I thought he was most desrving...
But you know how sports writers are. They will always give it to the winning QB when they drive for a late, winning score. Even if it was the defense's performance all game long that gave him that opportunity.
Now the 2011 SB?....Yes that MVP was well earned by Eli.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Eli deserve Superbowl MVP cause he really had nobody but Burress. Tuck had Strahan and Osi around that line. .
Don't be scared to respond... I know I'm always right lol.

Storm clean-up near us is slow and there's no word when power will be restored to thousands of homes. Problems in our area are minuscule compared to states on the coast, as well as hard hit countries like Cuba and Haiti. And yet everywhere there's a crisis, wonderful things are happening.
People are freely sharing food, water, and electricity with each other. They are cooking the last of the food from their freezers to offer their neighbors. They're donating their time to labor on behalf of those they've never met. The much-maligned Occupy movement mobilized their networks, getting thousands of volunteers to help out in neighborhoods well before more established organizations like the Red Cross arrived, and is still at work.
Hundreds of marathoners, without a race after New York City cancelled the run, jogged through Staten Island on Sunday with backpacks full of supplies to donate. The theater community is sharing equipment and space so that shows can go on. Companies large and small are offering wi-fi, power, and work areas for free. Restaurants are giving away free food, businesses are dropping standard fees, and big companies are stepping up to offer direct help including AT&T now sharing networks with rival T-Mobile. The online community has been busy, passing along information as it happens, and coming up with collaborative solutions. You may have friends or relatives staying with you now.
This is who we really are. Continue Reading "Crisis Brings Out The Best In Us" »

Serenity in Small-Town Connecticut
Griswold Inn • Essex, CT
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($118) or Fridays ($135)
- Two $25 Spa Vouchers Toward Facials or Massages
- Continental Breakfast for Two
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Three Nights
The Destination
With its quaint tree-lined streets and boutique shops, its harbor views and colonial charm, the small town of Essex, Connecticut, halfway between New York and Boston, seems frozen in time. But this throwback of a town on the Connecticut River wasn't always so welcoming. Attacked by the British during the War of 1812, Essex was under siege for much of its infancy. Today, that hard-fought history is on display at every turn, from the town's museums to Main Street itself.
The Digs
One of these historic locales is The Griswold Inn, which is not only one of the oldest continuously operated inns in the country but also one of the first places the British seized during the attack of 1814. Hailed by New York Magazine as "the real McCoy," this 33-room inn is situated right on Main Street. Rooms are appointed with antique furnishings, including four-poster beds and fine reproductions, with views of charming village life peeking through picture windows. Cozy up to the fireplace at the on-site Tap Room, featured in Esquire's Best Bars in America list.
Come dinnertime at the inn, let your taste buds simmer over a selection of seasonal dishes such as seared Stonington sea scallops, braised short ribs of beef, or artichoke-crusted Atlantic salmon. Wash it down with a selection from the inn's award-winning wine list or a pint of the signature Revolutionary Ale.
The Diversions
• Use your $25 voucher for a facial or massage at the Spa of Essex
• Get a dose of culture at the Florence Griswold Museum of American Impressionism
• Catch a musical at the award-winning Goodspeed Opera House
"Charm, comfort, flawless service, delicious cuisine and absorbing local history are the order of the day in this elegant monument to New England history a short drive from New York City. It's a "must-do" for locals and visitors alike."-- TripAdvisor

The steak for a Thai salad is often marinated before it's broiled and that's a shame, because most of those flavorings burn off and turn to naught. For the best taste, first sear the steak, then let it sit overnight in the marinade before tossing it with the greens.

Yes, the proper term would be "ignorant" not "uneducated". But these shallow 49er fans prove you can be educated and still ignorant.
On a side note, it's interesting how much technology has changed since the last time the 9ers were champions -- People were still using Windows 3.1; Google did not exist and Steve Jobs was still at NeXT, for example.

Gilt Groupe Encourages You to "Pin It"
Flash sales giant Gilt Groupe (client) announced that it is now offering new discounts that can only be unlocked through Pinterest. Gilt is leveraging Pinterest's sudden rise in popularity and, with this promotion, is clearly banking on Pinterest's continued success.
Pinterest is an image-based social media property that encourages users to "pin" images – kind of like bookmarking your favorite pictures. The images then populate on your profile page, which you can organize into categories that you create.
Gilt's use of Pinterest is a group-buying play. Their foray into the "repin to win" style is the Gilt Kids "Pin It to Unlock" promotion. If an item is repinned 50 times, a promotion with a steeper discount is revealed.
It's a great move for Gilt whose typical customer tends to be a young, social media-savvy professional. This promotion leverages a new avenue of promotion and virality while offering another way to offer its customer base that sense of exclusivity and urgency.
