In Eli's first Super Bowl season, he threw 20TDs to 20INTs w/ a 10-6 record.. last season Eli threw something like 20TDs to 17/18INTs with a 9-7 record.. all that matters is the gints were the best team when it mattered, but I don't know.. the best QBs in the league usually have a 3-1 TD:INT ratio.. Eli isn't coming close to that.
Alex Smith isn't even considered elite, yet he's 18-5 the past two seasons(plus playoffs) and he's currently ranked the #1 passer in the league, Eli isn't even in the top 5.. if Alex Smith is doing all of this and he's not even elite.. if ever does reach 'elite'.. how good is he going to be? Has Eli ever been the #1 ranked passer in the league, in any point in his career? Is Eli EVER been considered a regular season MVP.. ever? No, never. I track Alex Smith week-in/week-out so I can chart him performance to performance, I don't really follow Eli.. I can only give you the perspective of an outsider. Eli certainly has room to grow, that's for sure.
You really wanna give Eli ALL the credit for both Super Bowls.. he made some good throws, but those clutch catches made by his receivers are what stand out.. oh, and let's not forget about that pass-rush. I'd take the gints' pass-rush before I take Eli as a QB. Eli is definitely clutch, but he's got so much more room to grow before he can be considered the BEST QB in the league. If Eli was so damn elite, he'd have games wrapped up by halftime instead of having to dig himself outta a hole each week.
Mood: WOOF!
1. By and large the Niners are a defensive football team. You guys don't make a habit of outscoring the opponent. I would say your defense keeps you in games more often than your offense does. In direct contrast to that are the recent NYG's teams led by Eli. We outscore people and the offense habitually makes up for defensive gaffes.
2. Your offense has been powered by one of the best running games in the league. Last year we had the worst running attack in the league. We won the SB on the strength of Eli's arm last year.
3. Niners run a a simplistic offense in comparison with KG's system. I think Smith would be in over his head in NYG system. Alex Smith has to prove he can hit his outside receivers deep down the field. You watch them more than I do, but whenever I see them I see the majority of their pass plays between the hashes on short and intermediate routes ( some of this is just the difference in offensive philosophies).
***Eli is not the best QB in the league anybody that tells you that is delusional. Eli is elite and definitley top 5 and after him there is a drop off in talent. With that being said Smith isn't in Eli's league. There is nobody on our defensive line as valuable as Eli- not even JPP.
and eli doesnt have league mvp, neither does smith. eli does have 2 sb mvps tho which is 2 more than smith even tho both have been in the league the same amount of time basically.
loove sf fans, such bandwagoners. i'd bet 1000 dollars this guy was calling for david carr along with the rest of the entire stadium that home game 2 yrs ago. sure theres things eli hasnt yet accomplished, but he's also never had the pourous seasons smith has had and hes had a bunch of em..
do u really think smith is a better qb than eli???

Study Details Advantages of MQL for Micromachining
A recent study found that Minimum Quantity Lubrication increased tool life by 100 times versus dry micromachining of 316L stainless steel.
MQL minimizes a shop's environmental impact by significantly reducing fluid usage and eliminating the need for coolant treatment and disposal.
In a recent e-newsletter, Unist, designer and manufacturer of industrial fluid application systems, cited a study about micromilling 316L stainless steel using Minimum Quantity Lubrication. (MQL is the process of applying minute amounts of lubricant directly to the cutting tool/work piece interface instead of using traditional flood coolants.) The study found that a properly configured MQL process can reduce the built-up edge on a micro cutting tool and increase tool life as much as 100 times compared to dry milling. It cites the importance of quantifying tool runout, wetting both the cutting tool and the workpiece, and properly positioning the MQL stream to maximize lubrication at the chip/material interface.
The report ("Micromilling in Minimum Quantity Lubrication" found in Machining Science and Technology: An International Journal) is available for purchase here. Additional information about the advantages of machining with MQL can be found at Unist's website as well as this blog post and this article about Ford's use of MQL.

I gave my mom about 15 lbs of wax,she insist that it be made white sow she can color it and cent it.any thoughts on the process if there is one.
I gave my mom about 15 lbs of wax,she insist that it be made white sow she can color it and cent it.any thoughts on the process if there is one.
I make candles myself Sasquatch. I take all my wax and put it in a pouring pot with some water. Bring it to a soft boil (just enuff to melt all the wax) and pour it through T-shirt material. This takes out all the "junk" in the wax. The more times u do it, the lighter the wax gets. However, I've never bothered with trying to get it white.
By the way Sas, after u filter the wax through the T-shirt material, while it is still warm, ball it up, and it makes an excellent fire starter. If you have a fireplace or just need help with starting fires to burn old wood in the yard, it works great.
Here is a couple videos showing bleaching wax white using the sun in a solar melter.
Pour very clean filtered wax into very thin sheets, 1/2" or so, and leave them in the sun. Turn them over a few days so every surface is exposed to the sun. The UV rays of the sun will bleach the wax to a very pale ivory color.
If Mom wants pure white wax with no smell, then give her some paraffin wax and take your precious beeswax back. The whole point of beeswax is to appreciate it for what it IS and not try to make it into something else.
Just my opinon.
Having said that - I can verify that leaving it out in the sun does bleach it lighter (not pure wite though). The problem I have here in FL is that it just melts all over the place and makes a big mess. I can leave it out in the cooler months of winter and it will bleach it whiter, but then it loses it's wonderful smell too. I don't like that, so I don't do it anymore.

I am usually a nice person but lately that doesn't come naturally to me. I find myself getting frustrated and angry too easily. The worst part is that I know that the things that are upsetting me are cositas – little things. I feel like my tolerance and patience levels have dropped like the out-going tide before a tsunami. I'm not quisquillosa, yet lately if anyone so much as breaths the wrong way near me, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.
I think the problem is that I'm introverted, and introverted people require time alone to recharge. With Suegra living with us, plus the niños home for the summer, I never get that. It exhausts me to never be able to complete a thought without the kids barging in and asking me for a snack while a telenovela blasts from the television in the next room.
Last night I found myself kicking a soccer ball up against the wall in the bedroom repeatedly for a solid 15 minutes in order to compose myself. This has become one of my coping mechanisms. My husband used to chide me as if I were a niña playing ball in the house. He used to say I'd damage the walls. Now he leaves me alone because a damaged wall is better than the alternative.
Today even kicking the soccer ball didn't make me feel better and when my husband came home, I explained to him how I was feeling… He listened until I was finished and then after a minute, he offered to buy me ice cream.
I can see why he thought ice cream was the solution. Ice cream has been the solution in the past and why stray from a tactic that works? But I had to explain to him why ice cream wouldn't fix this. Of course, my calm, rational explanation came out more like, "I don't want ice cream! I want to be alone!", followed by sobbing.
My husband handed over the car keys and told me to go.
I got into the car and started to drive, sin rumbo y sin dirección. I listened to bachata music and just enjoyed the luxury of uninterrupted thought. Eventually I stopped in a parking lot, pulled out the moleskine journal a friend gave me earlier this year and began to write.
So, today I finally got that pedacito of solitude I needed, but I go to bed knowing that mañana is another day and I won't always get to escape to a deserted parking lot. Tomorrow I may just have to settle for ice cream, but I'm prepared to demand sprinkles.
"Cómo volver a ser feliz…
Cuando este día se parece al fin del mundo?
Cómo volver a ser feliz…
Si tu partida me ha tirado a lo profundo?
Solo tú sabes mi amor….
Cómo volver a ser feliz…
Más que hablar
Solo intento despertar algún motivo en tu conciencia
Solo quiero en recompensa encontrar lo que tú eras…
-Luis Enrique/Cómo Volver a Ser Feliz

Crosslake fireworks bolstered by anonymous donation
Now in its 43rd year, the Crosslake fireworks have the potential to be better than ever, following an anonymous donation of $5,000.
The fireworks cost $10,000 annually. The city provides $5,000 in funding, and the rest is raised through a community effort driven by a committee of residents and business owners, along with the chamber of commerce.
Mayor Darrell Schneider said at the Monday, April 8, council meeting that the donor, who is anonymous "for now," asked that the donation be used to expand the fireworks, though not out of any displeasure with the event.
Schneider proposed that the city extend the offer to the donor to choose how to expand the fireworks once the donor comes into town for the summer.
Pat Netko, owner of Lake Country Crafts and Cones and one of the individuals spearheading the fireworks effort, had many people to thank for their efforts in raising fireworks funds.
Cindy Myogeto, of the chamber of commerce, said the city is a couple thousand dollars short of its $5,000 goal of fundraising. While the city donates $5,000, and the anonymous donation adds another $5,000, fundraising will continue.
Donations can be made to the Parks and Library (PAL) Foundation, a non-profit, and are tax deductible.
This year the fireworks will be Saturday, July 6, at dusk.

It's no secret that the Math Department has got it goin' on when it comes to technology infused instruction. But, since my arrival at CFCC last November, I've heard a name repeatedly dropped into the "techie" conversations. It's almost like a whisper…Clauuuuude Mooooooooooore.
Where to begin?
Dr. Claude Moore was paving the way for technology integration when I was still taking my dolls for a ride in the Radio Flyer.
Example #1 in the early 1980's Claude had a student who was leaving for a few weeks one semester to go to NYC and study design. Rather than having her withdraw or get grossly behind in class, Claude videotaped all of his lessons and mailed the videocassettes via FedEx to New York. Talk about innovation and dedication!
Example #2 while working at Danville Community College in Virginia, Claude was the first instructor to deliver class through satellite television.
Example #3 he started his own math webpage in 1997. It's still active!
Math Department and Moore…
The Math Department works hard to prepare students for the work force.  From screen captured lesson recordings using Camtasia to interactive web-based lessons created with Soft Chalk, the students are in abundance of resources to help them in their mathematical endeavors. The Math Department has initiated Student Workshops and work together organizing the upcoming events using the collaborative tool, Google Docs. Department Chair, Kenneth Hufham, definitely keeps ahead of the curve and just recently purchased web cams for every math instructor.
Claude Moore is spritely, full of energy, knowledge and ideas. After spending over 40 years in the field of education and teaching, this is a rare find. Claude began working at Cape Fear Community College in 2005. He is the webmaster for the Math/PE Department and the Math Lab page.
It's the students that count
When it comes down to it, Claude Moore is dedicated to his students and a master of his craft. Everything  (class notes, lectures, problem examples, etc) is posted online and available 24/7 for his students.
Moore is not a man who tests the water with his feet, he jumps in. This semester, Claude started his own blog through CFCC Blogs called Having Fun…Learning Math and has even toyed around with online animation using (one of my personal favorites) Go! Animate. Watch his 16 second "Who Am I?" animation here.
Still hungry for Moore?
- Course syllabus in newspaper format. Easy for the students to read and hold on to. Here's a digital copy.
- Video clip tutorials Standard Normal Probability Distribution Assessing Normality using Statdisk Solving Absolute Value Inequality 2
- Interactive web-based lessons Session 1 MAT 171 Precalculus Algebra Overview of MAT155 Statistical Analysis Introduction to MAT155 Statistical Analysis
- Demonstrations in Excel, PowerPoint and video Direct link to all of them.
All "Moore†puns aside, the faculty and students of Cape Fear Community College are lucky to have Dr. Claude Moore.

Howard scores 20 points in loss to Cass Lake-Bena
Cass Lake-Bena defeated the host Pine River-Backus Tigers boys' basketball team 77-43 on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
PR-B had an excellent performance by senior point guard Beau Howard, who had 20 points on a nine for 17 night from the field, but it wasn't enough to beat a tough CL-B team.
CL-B assumed a lead in the first half with solid performances by Jordan Collins who contributed 15 points in the opening half. Mason Kingbird had 11 points for CL-B as well in the first half. Those two players were able to score as many points as the entire PR-B team in the half, as CL-B built a 40-26 advantage at intermission.
PR-B was able to get an advantage from behind the arc in the first half though, finding success on four three-pointers compared with three successful shots for CL-B. The bulk of the scoring for PR-B in the half was by Howard, as he accumulated half of the Tigers' points with 13.
One downfall of PR-B was an inability to get to the line early in the game, with CL-B taking an advantage in trips to the line with nine compared to no chances for the Tigers. CL-B did convert on seven of those attempts.
The Tigers have gone into the locker room at greater deficits this season and felt they had a chance, trailing by 14 points.
The second half would prove to be much of the same as the Tigers were outscored 33-17 in the final 18 minutes. PR-B was able to get to the foul line in the second half, getting there 10 times, but were only able to capitalize on four of those opportunities. Meanwhile, CL-B went seven for 10 on their attempts.
Both CL-B and PR-B played unselfishly as eight players recorded a basket for each team. Whenever the Tigers showed some momentum, CL-B was able to answer back and maintain a comfortable lead. When the final buzzer sounded, PR-B was soundly defeated 77-43.
Scoring Summary: PR-B was led by Beau Howard with 20 points. He made an impressive seven of 12 from two-point range. Freshman forward Zach Struss had eight points going three for eight from the field and two for four from the line. Travon Pederson added four points, with one successful three-pointer on seven attempts behind the arc. Hank Raph, Konrad Bueckers and Cody Mager each contributed three points for the Tigers, and Tony Pederson had two.
CL-B was led by Jordan Collins, who had 26 points and was very consistent, putting up double digits in both halves, 15 and 11 points respectively. Mason Kingbird finished with 13 points while Josh LaDude had 11 points, and Alvin Wind and Darman Kingford each had 9 points.

Supporters rally behind Giron, others work to recall senator
PUEBLO, Colo. - As a recall effort to get state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, out of office continues, her supporters are rallying around her.
About 75 people gathered at the Pueblo County Courthouse on Wednesday in favor of Giron. They're upset many Puebloans want her out of office because of her votes on a package of recent gun laws.
"I'm here today because I support our senator and I totally support our new gun laws despite being a multiple weapons owner," said Igne Burbank.
Burbank is upset about the recall effort. A group, Pueblo Freedom and Rights, is collecting signatures to get Giron out of office-- a recall that could cost about a quarter of a million dollars.
"I've got a real simple answer for it-- she can resign," said Victor Head, who's leading the recall effort.
For the past six weeks, Head's been gathering signatures. He needs 11,500 of them by June 10. Gun shops, like Arctic Shooting Supply, have become main hubs for getting those signatures.
"If you look at all the people that come in to sign the petitions, there's probably, I don't know, 40-50 percent of them are Democrats," said Brad Emerson, co-owner of Arctic Shooting Supply.
Back at the courthouse, Giron's supporters said a recall is not the answer for disagreeing with a politician. They said a recall should be reserved for cases of fraud and abuse.
"I see my mom pouring her heart and soul into this job, and so as her daughter and as someone who sees that, it's disheartening when people are hateful," said Melanie Bravo, Giron's daughter.
Bravo said she has no problem with people disagreeing with her mom. It's how they've done it that upsets her.
Giron wasn't able to attend the rally because she was in Denver, finishing the legislative session. She said she's not surprised by the recall and thanked those who've supported her.

Non-cash incentive programs are proven to be the most effective means of moving the sales needle and improving selling habits for the long run. But planning and operating these campaigns, which run for three months or more, takes a sales manager away from daily duties.
Savvy sales managers who recognize the power of non-cash incentives also rely on the help and great ideas they get from the Incentive Manufacturers Representative Alliance (IMRA), an organization comprised of non-cash incentive suppliers and their sales representatives. Here's why:
• IMRA reps are the most experienced, knowledgeable partners a program sponsor can find. And their advice and guidance is FREE because they are paid by the manufacturer to provide everything you need.
• IMRA reps have the best brands at the best prices. That's important because only incentives that are desirable will get you the results you're looking for. But why pay retail prices for your name-brand rewards? The price you get from an IMRA representative is always the lowest price available, so stop spending more money at retail!
• IMRA reps get special training and have access to important industry resources. They are at the top of their game and can update you on the newest and most important incentive program strategies.
• IMRA reps have counseled hundreds of companies, both large and small. They help these organizations plan and execute a wide variety of successful incentive and motivation programs.
The next time you're putting an incentive program together, tap into the national network of good ideas with the local reps that have joined IMRA. This directory features IMRA merchandise suppliers who have authorized service reps ready to help you bring your next performance improvement program together efficiently and cost-effectively.

Gift cards are an effective workplace motivator, as well as a way to thank loyal customers. Smart managers don't purchase gift cards at retail, however. By using certified incentive gift card suppliers, you can receive quantity discounts and learn more about how to get the most return on your investment.
The Incentive Gift Card Council (IGCC) is a strategic industry group within the Incentive Marketing Association (IMA). Member companies are the elite among retail, catalog and performance improvement agencies, offering cards/certificates, that can be redeemed for merchandise, travel, food, accommodations and services. This directory is a service to SalesAndMarketing magazine readers who use — or are interested in using — gift cards as employee or customer incentives.

It seems to me that I have to add more honey to food in order to get the sweetness I experience with cane surgar. Hot tea, for instance, tastes fine with a single rounded teaspoon of sugar, whereas , I find myself using a full rounded tablespoon of honey to get the same effect. It is a little confusing to compare sucrose levels honey/sugar, but my reading seems to suggest that honey has a lot more sucrose/fructose per volume. Honey has been "inverted" to allow immediate use in the bloodstream, I wonder if the inversion required with sugar causes us to consider sugar sweeter?
Any ideas?

**SmokinVette Economic Rebate**
Happy Holidays to all you SmokinVette's! Today I'm going to be open with you about a few topics that are no secret or should be no surprise rather. It should be Happy Holidays for all, but sad to say we have valuable vendors who provide quality products that aren't having happy holidays. We all know the economy is in the toilet, it will recover but not on accident. It's not a matter of "if" "might" or "maybe" the economy WILL recover. Historically what has helped the survival of the economy is consumer spending; the same survival mode applies to vendors that make our so needed mod's for our Corvettes. I've recently spoke to a good friend of mine who also happens to be a vendor on SmokinVette, who voiced competition is good to have. I 100% agree with him, it gives you the consumer a range of products to choose from and also helps regulate to some degree product price. The fact is there are people losing jobs and companies closing doors.
So what can be done about this?
We all need to work together to help preserve our Vendors that have put a smile on our face from a part(s) that maybe added some tire shredding horse power, maybe it was a product that helped your cars appearance that allowed you to win a trophy at a car show or a thumbs up from another Corvette or auto enthusiast. This same friend shared with me that spending is down across all the forums. For those of you that might not realize this, Vendors are the fuel that makes sites like this possible. A place where you can hang your hat up and call your home, a place where you can find answers, product or installation assistance, smoke and joke with other Corvette enthusiast.
This letter is not about SmokinVette, but our concern for our Vendors and their survival through these tough times. For those that know me on a personal level, if been labeled as very driven, someone that also believes there is a solution to ANY challenge and someone that won't back down from a challenge. Some might argue what can I do as an individual? We all as a team can make a world of difference that keeps someone from losing their job or a business closing doors during the holiday season.
So here is what we have going on. Starting effective at time of this post till January 1, 2009 the first (10) SmokinVette.com members who spend OVER $1,000.00 with any of our Vendors will receive a $100.00 economic rebate check from SmokinVette.com! *Read below for RULES on this*
Now if you simply can't afford spending over $1,000.00 now, order something for your car or holiday gift from one of our Vendors whether it's a $15.00 part or a $500.00 part, we as a team can make a difference. Holidays are time for giving, let's give back, but a smile, give some piece of mind to our Vendors that we are here to support them and their success for a brand new year.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and to support the Vendors of SmokinVette.com. Feel free to spread the word to other Corvette owners that are not members here and what we are doing. We are the forum that is going to stand behind our Vendors, there for stand behind you as this is your Corvette Forum and your home. That's my word to you.
Create yourself a great day and Happy Holidays,
**Rules for $100.00 rebate from SmokinVette is simple – PM me with receipt showing date, who, what, and where you purchased. Also make a post showing the products installed, the dyno sheet from tuner, or the happy face of someone receiving a holiday gift. In this post let's also tell who we bought these products from, and how happy you are with them – share and inform to others about your experience. Let's keep this honest and fun. This offer ends January 1, 2009, and is limited to the first (10) members that PM me with the requested information.**

Sure, endorsers may help a candidate's fundraising efforts by granting access to their Rolodexes. And the support of a mayor can usually get a few senior citizens to the polls on Election Day. But that's about it.
Unless, of course, the endorser in question is Oprah Winfrey. If anyone is an exception to all the rules, it's Oprah.
From her still-popular TV talk show, to O magazine, to her book-club endorsements that regularly lift titles — any titles — to the lofty top slot, Oprah's influence on American culture is enormous. One leading television historian has called Oprah "the most celebrated and powerful black woman in US history." (Okay, it was me.) Life magazine has labeled her "America's most powerful woman." Forbes magazine went one step further, calling her the most influential person in the world. None is exaggerating.
In some polls, Oprah even ranks as the celebrity Americans believe to be most qualified to serve as president. Another recent survey from about.com ranked Oprah as the country's favorite entrepreneur, with nearly double the votes of that ne'er-do-well Bill Gates. And a 2003 VH1 poll named her the country's greatest pop-culture icon — beating out, for example, Superman and Elvis. It's not just that everything she touches turns to gold; when Oprah speaks, America listens. When she tells them to buy something, they do.
So it was big news this past week when Oprah reiterated her support for Barack Obama, whom she had previously called "her favorite guy." She'll host a fundraiser in September. And after that? How heavily she campaigns for him could well determine the course of the Democratic nomination.
Obama's better half
Oprah's endorsement of Obama isn't only important for the sheer power attached to her name. With an overwhelmingly female audience — comprised especially of lower- to middle-class women — she's the cultural leader of Hillary Clinton's base. So far much of that demographic has seemed inclined to support Hillary; Oprah could help swing it the other way. Plus, she has tremendous appeal in the black community, which — though it's still early — has only half-heartedly flocked to Obama's camp. When, for example, it came time in 2005 for politicians and celebrities to deliver eulogies at Rosa Parks's memorial service in Washington, DC, you can guess whose speech stole the show.
It's that cross-cultural appeal, and facility in any situation, that Obama will benefit from by having the country's top leading lady on his side. Her gregarious nature, street sass ("Hey, girl!"), and TV ministry of empathy have allowed her to walk the narrow line between the races, and to put together a biracial coalition of the sort Obama wouldn't mind electorally emulating.
As such, she might be able to do for Obama what Elizabeth Edwards has been trying to do for her husband: provide a more accessible avenue for the candidate's message, in a "non-political" forum (think: the Living section of newspapers), which candidates often crave.

an Alfa-Romeo SUV based closely on the Jeep Liberty might be built on Toledo, helping the plant to run closer to capacity. Local sources say that Fiat leaders have visited the plant, currently down to one shift, four in recent weeks, taking measurements and analyzing equipment.The plant has some flex capability, building the Dodge Nitro on the same line as the Liberty (the Nitro shares no sheet metal and has different engines, interiors, and suspension tuning).The proposed Alfa SUV has apparently already been styled, with a smooth design.The Jeep Liberty is due to be refreshed for the 2012 model year, and it's possible that the Alfa SUV will not be produced until then. It could also be introduced earlier, depending on the number of changes from the Liberty and the state of its evolution, but probably not within the next 18 months.
This doesn't look half bad. I guess it would be fine on the Liberty suspension.
--------------------------------------------------------------- 60k and counting
Yes but do you know how horrid the Liberty is? (not off-road though)
Yeah, it sucks, maybe Alfa can tune it up.
--------------------------------------------------------------- 60k and counting
I guess they can improve the interior, engines (Pentastar V6), but Fiat does not have off-road expertise. all they have is the Panda Cross.
The question is, does anything on the Liberty platform have any right to be that hot?
good question
_________________________________________________________________________"His brain isn't worth the paper it's made out of.." -Keith Olbermann speaking on Glenn Beck
if Alfa builds that I think i'll stop loving my 164alfa builds cars not suv'showever if they build a truck based off the ram 1500 now your talking
________________________Chevy bring back the Corvair
Um, I don't know why they are doing this. I would think if they wanted to go this route they would badge the thing as a Fiat. We have a Liberty and unless they do some major, MAJOR work, this thing will not be accepted by Alfa buyers.
The Jeep Liberty plant is a very modern facility built on the west side of I-75 heading north. It is one of the crown jewels of Chrysler's assets.This article in Fortune gives details.Jeep Builds A New Kind Of Plant Closely tied suppliers don't make a vehicle's parts until it starts down the assembly line. http://http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2002/11/11/331819/index.htmI was hoping that Magna would have got control of Chysler. Magna was founded by a tool and die man. Chrysler has some very fine production assets that a production man could appreciate. All it takes is to weld it together into a team. That plant can produce a very diversified product mix.

I have been using a Skype subscription to ring my fiancés mobile in America and to my horror I found out yesterday that his mobile provider had charged him $500 for our calls. Can I ask how come he was charged as I thought it would only cost me, please can anyone enlighten me.
Iksram wrote:
Hello there, I just had a sad payment experience with a call I made from my iPad in Denmark to a mobile phone in Poland. I read about the phonecalls rates on skype.com (when using skype-credit) and from this reading I learned that weatnher you call a mobile or a landline phone the rate pr minute is the same. So I called a mobile phone in Poland and found out, that a very brief conversation (5min) ended up costing 22 DKK (3€). Gosh! Did I read something wrong? In addition the mobile phone I made the call to, is with a danish operator. Sorry for my english btw.
When calling telephones, the rates for calling mobile phones are generally not the same as calling a landline phone in the same country. This is similar to the way landline and mobile phone carriers charge calls to those phones, and there are very few countries where the rates are the same (the USA and Canada are two of the few countries where rates are the same). The rates are clearly listed on Skype's web site, and you can see them by clicking on "Pay As You Go" at the bottom of this page and enter the country you want to see the rates for. You can also change the currency from euros to something else as well.
If you dialed a Danish mobile number to reach that phone when it was in Poland, the per-minute rates for calling Danish mobiles is DKK 1.54/minute, plus a connection fee per call of DKK 0.69. A 5-minute call to that mobile number should have cost DKK 8.39 from Skype (plus VAT, if that is being assessed by Skype). The Danish mobile carrier would almost certainly charged the person using the Danish mobile phone in Poland roaming rates for that call.
Rates for calling a Polish mobile number are almost the same - the same connection fee, but the per-minute rate would be DKK 1.56/minute. Again, this is how European telephone carriers (like those in many other parts of the world) do things, making calls to mobile numbers cost a lot more than calls to landline phones. Skype is not immune from this, and has to charge accordingly.
This does not help your situation, I know. Please take a close look at the rates at that link below to confirm what you should be charged when calling from Skype.
New to skype but here is my situation.
I live in Canada (Toronto) my girlfriends in Ecuador at the moment. We are afriad of talking to long because of mobile long distance charges.
We both have iphones with skype currently. She has no internet where she is located, and we dont wana risk paying ridiculous roaming charges.
I want to know if we can call eachother "without" a internet connection? If so can you please explain how? Its seems to me a internet connection is the only way skype?
I am in Italy with a U.S. account. I have a USA/CANADA subscription. What is my connection fee in USD to call landlines in Italy?

DCCC Radio Ads Expose 10 Republican Congressmen Putting Their Own Health Care Ahead of Constituents
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching radio ads against 10 House Republicans who voted to give themselves taxpayer-funded health insurance for life – even as they engineered a government shutdown so they could take away Americans' benefits under the Affordable Care Act. Among many other grim findings for House Republicans, a newly released poll from the Washington Post showed 74 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Republicans are handling negotiations.
The radio ads will play against the following Republican incumbents:
- Congressman Dan Benishek (MI-01)
- Congressman Rodney Davis (IL-13)
- Congressman Mike Coffman (CO-06)
- Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08)
- Congressman Michael Grimm (NY-11)
- Congressman Gary Miller (CA-31)
- Congressman Tom Reed (NY-23)
- Congressman Scott Rigell (VA-02)
- Congressman Steve Southerland (FL-02)
- Congressman David Valadao (CA-21)
"Americans simply can't believe that these House Republicans would engineer a government shutdown so they could take away health care benefits – even when they voted to give themselves taxpayer-funded health care for life," said Emily Bittner of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "In these 10 districts, and so many others, this reckless and irresponsible shutdown is hurting middle class families who play by the rules – obviously, the only people who House Republicans aren't willing to hurt are themselves."
Republicans have repeatedly demanded repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which includes a provision that removes Members of Congress from the Federal Employee Health Benefits plan and requires they receive the same health care as their constituents. Republicans' repeal of the Affordable Care Act would mean more benefits provided to Members of Congress.
An example of the script of "Door" playing in Congressman Mike Coffman's district is below.
(Sfx: Doorbell rings).
(Male VO): Hello, Congressman Coffman here, just in from Washington.
(Female VO): Uh. Hi. Aren't you supposed to be doing something about that shut down?
(Male VO): I'm here to talk about what I'm doing these days. First, I'm working hard to take away your new health care benefits.
(Female VO): What? Congressman Coffman !?!
(Male VO): That's right. We'll put the insurance companies back in charge of your health care.
(Female VO): You've got to be kidding me.
(Male VO): Oh we're dead serious -- so serious that we shut down the government over it.
(Female VO): Congressman Coffman -- that's just irresponsible. And, well… reckless. Oh, and what happens to your health care?
(Male VO): Oh, don't worry about me. Voted myself taxpayer-funded healthcare for life! So I'm taken care of, but thanks for your concern.

Some worry political fliers could inject party politics into Idaho Falls city council race
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Idaho Falls businessman Doyle Beck says he wanted to increase voter turnout, so he mailed several fliers out to voters, purporting to lay out the positions of city council seat four candidates.
But now those fliers are setting off a storm of controversy.
"He (is) trying to cause some dissension in the community, and, you know, start splitting up," said candidate Ed Marohn.
Marohn says city council races are supposed to be non-partisan, and Beck's involvement is anything but.
"This is a non-partisan election. Why get wrapped up in misrepresenting? The GOP party is involved, just because he's on the central committee."
At issue: Beck has Marohn listed as one of the candidates supporting a public accommodation ordinance, something Marohn says simply isn't true.
"He supports the other candidate. That's what it boils down to. An attack ad like this, I think is in poor taste," Marohn said.
"My flier was simply to educate. If Mr. Marohn is not happy with the education, he needs to change his philosophies," Beck said.

Application for Part 1 of South Dakota's State Stabilization Funds Approved Today
April 20, 2009
Contact: Sandra Abrevaya, (202) 401-1576
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that $85.4 million is now available for South Dakota under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts.
"The $85.4 million awarded to South Dakota today, along with the $38 million awarded to the state earlier this month, will help keep South Dakota teachers teaching and students learning," Duncan said. "This funding will not only stimulate the economy in the short term but serve as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lift education to an entirely new level of excellence."
South Dakota is receiving $85.4 million today per the state's successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available April 1. Eighty two percent of these funds are to be distributed to public elementary, secondary and higher education institutions, with the remaining 18 percent to be available for education, school modernization, public safety, or other government services. South Dakota, Illinois and California are the first three states to successfully complete applications and be approved for the first round of state stabilization funding. South Dakota will be eligible to apply for another $42 million in state stabilization funds this fall.
To date, South Dakota has received nearly $38 million in education stimulus fundsrepresenting a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants, Independent Living Grants, Impact Aid dollars and Homeless Education Grants. On April 1, South Dakota received $17.3 million in Title I funding and $17.6 million in IDEA funding. This amount represents 50 percent of the total Title I and IDEA funding for which South Dakota is eligible. On April 1, South Dakota also received nearly $1 million in Vocational Rehab funds and $246,000 in Independent Living funds. On April 10, South Dakota received $1.6 million in Impact Aid Funding and nearly $176,000 in Homeless Education grants.
In order to receive today's funds, South Dakota provided assurances that they will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps, and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.
South Dakota is also required by the U.S. Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted, and how funds are used.
To view South Dakota's application, please visit: http://www.ed.gov/programs/statestabilization/resources.html.

What's with you and the joints? It's not funny, and I think it makes a horrible mockery of the game and the characters.
Re: Story time
I don't get the new one, it doesn't have to do with the game's story other than survival and clickers. Other than it being an off-the-record type thing. Plus, if this guy wanted to be with other survivors why would he be so stupid to leave his survivor group?

It's all just fan fiction. I don't know too much about how the characters will interact with others, how they really are, other than Joel has few moral lines left to cross, and Ellie is a 14 year old girl who is wise beyond her years. I don't want to write something about it and ruin something I don't know too much about. I want to keep it in as much mystery as possible while just passing time until the game comes out, but have some fun doing it too. BTW, I just wrote it as if I was living in that world. I'm Jordan.
He left it to try and find new groups/more survivors to try and relocate as many as possible to create a makeshift town of sorts.

A link to the game using dropbox
MisterVirtue's Pong Clone
- You can do it -
I have very little programming experience outside the classroom, I have never tried to make a game before but I learned if you really want to do something you can make it happen.
- Ask Questions, Gain Knowledge -
Gamedev.net is a great reasource with lots of friendly people who want to help you. People here are really nice and quickly come to your rescue, but people can't help you if you don't ask. Don't be afraid to ask questions, you have nothing to lose and you often more than just the knowledge you seek.
-Dig around, there is treasure everywhere -
Use the net to your advantage, there are plenty of resources to help a beginner. I used this sites and many other with code help, logic help, and other general support.
- You Can't Play Games and Make Games at The Same Time -
I learned the less time i spent playing games, the better i got at staying focused on my project. I love games and it's hard to put them down sometimes but if your project is important, you have to make sacrifices.
- Start Today -
Don't be lazy, or you will get nothing done. Try to start doing a little bit each day on your project you can ride that momentum to get more done.
I hope this helps someone else who is looking to get started. Like I said before I plan on give my Pong Clone the polish it needs tonight. After that my next plan is to start working on a break out clone. I really like programming, and I feel like i am having a good start.

SANTA CRUZ -- Officials with the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter recently seized 74 cats from a one-bedroom trailer in the Summit area where they were being kept in unsafe conditions, including inside the walls, a shelter official said.
Field Manager Todd Stosuy said he confiscated the cats after visiting a Stetson Road mobile home complex Sunday, responding to a call from a concerned neighbor who thought a home there had 30 or 40 cats that were breeding and being kept in substandard conditions.
Stosuy found friendly felines inside and outside of the small home, including some who had clawed their way inside the walls to find some space, he said.
The two residents were cooperative, he said.
"It was one of those situations where it was a very unhealthy situation for the animals and the humans," Stosuy said. "There was not a clear spot on the floor anywhere. It was in complete disarray. If it had spiraled any further out of control who knows what would have happened."
Fortunately, all but three of the cats were in good health and are very social, he said. Several were pregnant.
The cats are bonded with one another and shelter officials are considering some kind of two-for-one special so they can be adopted in pairs, Stosuy said.
"These cats are beautiful and they are in love with each other," he said.
They will be spayed and neutered and put up for adoption by Thursday, he said.
As for their owners, he said they were thankful for the help.
"We are working closely with them to get the numbers down, to four cats," Stosuy said.
He said it was a case of hoarding, which he said was an obsessive compulsive disorder.
The women were advised that animal cruelty charges were possible if they start hoarding animals again, Stosuy said.
The Animal Friends Rescue Project, www.animalfriendsrescue.org, and Animal Shelter Relief Rescue, animalshelterrelief.org, also are helping find homes for the cats, he said.
For information, go to www.scanimalshelter.org, visit the shelter at Seventh Avenue and Rodriguez Street in Live Oak, or call 454-7200.

Serves 10
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
To make topping: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Combine 3/4 cup sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium, cover and cook for 1 minute. Uncover and cook, without stirring, until syrup turns a deep amber color, 8 to 10 minutes. (Gently swirl pan if syrup is coloring unevenly.) Immediately pour caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan. Swirl pan to coat bottom evenly with caramel. (Use caution, as caramel will be very hot.) Cool until set, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Quarter plums lengthwise, removing pits. Arrange, cut-side down, in concentric circles over caramel; set aside.
Step 4
To make cake: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
Step 5
Combine buttermilk, almond paste, oil and vanilla and almond extracts in a food processor. Process until smooth; set aside.
Step 6
Combine egg, egg white and 2/3 cup sugar in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale, 5 to 10 minutes. Alternately fold dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture into egg mixture with a whisk, making 3 additions of dry and 2 of liquid. Pour batter over plums.
Step 7
Bake cake until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges and invert onto a serving plate. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Shortly before serving, heat jelly in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted. With a pastry brush, glaze plums with jelly.

120 Fort Carson soldiers reunited with families
FORT CARSON, Colo. - 120 Fort Carson soldiers were reunited with their families after a homecoming ceremony at the Mountain Post Thursday morning.
The soldiers served with the 10th Combat Support Hospital and deployed to Afghanistan last October.
Soldiers with the unit were responsible for medical care at 15 locations throughout Afghanistan.
Fort Carson leaders applauded the unit's accomplishments on Thursday morning. The soldiers operated the busiest trauma hospital in theater and out of those they cared for, saw a 98 percent survival rate.
KRDO NewsChannel 13 spoke to the LaRose family. Rachel LaRose is a nurse who deployed about six months ago. She said it has been extremely difficult to be away from her two sons.
Her husband, Brandon, worked full-time while Rachel was deployed. He also cared for their sons Josiah, 3, and Jaxon, 1.
Brandon said he's worked through tough times day by day. He said the family will be spending lots of time together and Rachel said she plans to take some time off of work to be with her sons.

Sponsored Tingles: Red Carpet SCENEtourage - The Vow
The lead-up to Oscars has many storylines and we'll be covering them all the way until the big show on February 26th. And while the Oscars are about celebrating last year's top movies, new ones keep coming and we'll be previewing a few that are arriving in theatres this month that have links – some loose and some not so loose – to Oscar.
The Academy announced yesterday that Milla Jovovich will present the Science & Technology Oscars on Saturday. I guess they're not ready for Blake Lively yet.
Rachel McAdams hosted the event in 2006. In 2010 she attended the Oscars proper, presenting with Jake Gyllenhaal. OMG, remember that? And we all wanted them to be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Her new movie The Vow opens on Friday. If you see the movie in Toronto and you hear someone sobbing in the back row, that would be Sasha. She's been waiting for this for months. Like, actually preparing her tears.
The Hollywood premiere for The Vow was last night. You know, if you've been reading the site long enough, that we all love Rachel McAdams here. So much that when we can't offer something nice, it's done with a very small voice. I am whispering then when I say that the fringe, it's all wrong. The makeup is... a little harsh? It's too much. And it kinda spoils an otherwise lovely dress in a lovely colour.
But how about some good news to balance then?
Rachel showed up on the carpet at the Journey 2: Mysterious Island last week. Why? Evan Turner, the producer of Journey 2, reached out to me the other day to say that he's dating Kayleen McAdams, Rachel's sister. So it was a family situation. And not a business one.
As for The Vow's business...
How many of you are going this weekend for a good cry? Don't lie. I want you to tell me all about it. It's not like I won't be hearing it from Sasha anyway.
Want to see movies on SCENE for the rest of the year? With a new designer bag in hand, fresh from a trip to Hollywood? Then make sure to enter our Annual Red Carpet contest, presented this year in partnership with SCENE. There's a prize pool worth over $4000 up for grabs including:
• A designer bag courtesy LaineyGossip
• A trip to LA for you and a guest courtesy SCENE
• 48,000 SCENE points (equivalent to 24 movie passes)

The Torre Teams were. for lack of a better description, essentially defensively favored, NL-type teams with "pop" sprinkled throughout the order.
Since he left, Cash has decided to go with a Lefty-heavy hitter style with crap in the Pen and so-so in the Rotation.

certifications dilema
Here are a few certs that I can find with their respective training institutions. They all look sexy and self proclaimed as being the best cert.
CPTC - Certified Penetration Testing Consultant 25421
CPTE - Certified Penetration Testing Engineer 34894
CSTA - Certified Security Testing Associate 3614
GPEN - GIAC Certified Penetration Tester 33170
OSCP - Offensive Security Certified Professional 36097
CEH - Certified Ethical Hacker 90494
ECSA - EC-Council Certified Security Analyst 29890
CEPT - Certified Expert Penetration Tester 26267
However, the question I have been wrestling with is which one of these ethical hacking or pentesting certifications and trainings truly and genuinely offer the best material in the world? Categorizing them in the best being 1, how would you rank them in term of quality, depth, practicality and maturity?
I have only taken SANS training but have read a lot about the other ones' testimonies, reviews and talk to a few friends who have taken for example OSCP and CEH.
Could any one of you guys attempt to answer this question if you have taken a few of these courses and certs. Please provide some comparisons if you wish on tools covered, instructors' experience, labs setup and etc.
I am excited to hear from you and would like to thank you in advanced.

Santa Rosa, CA, March 24, 2014 – Newly sponsored Liquid Image waterskier, Brian Detrick, finished 3rd at the Moomba Masters event in the Open Men's Slalom with an overall score of 1147.06, missing the 2nd place podium by just a few points.
The event took place on March 7th – 10th on the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia. Over 200,000 waterski and wakeboard fans attended to watch professional athletes from over 15 countries compete in Slalom, Tricks, Jump and Wakeboard. Just a week prior to this event, Detrick competed in the Australian Open ProAm at Stoney Park in Telegraph Point, Australia, where he finished in a four way tie for 1st place. After a close run off, Detrick took home silver.
"This was a big two weeks for me, not only running 39 off for the first time in a Pro Tour event, but also making the podium in both events. My 2nd and 3rd place finishes in Australia are my best results in pro events and I am very proud of myself," said Detrick. "I have put in a lot of hard work and training time this year and it feels amazing to see those results pay off."
Brian Detrick signed with Liquid Image in February of this year and has been featured on Sacramento's Fox 40 News Station. Following his accomplishments in the Australian Open and Moomba Masters events, Detrick is ranked No. 8 in the world on the Elite Men Slalom Ranking List by the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation.

The Empire Mini has proven to be the choice of the beginner to intermediate paintball player looking for a gun that will perform in all situations and keeps you compact. The Mini GS uses an inline poppet system that keeps recoil low and accuracy high also extremely easy to maintain with minimal tools. Using the inline poppet system the marker has horizontal recoil that doesn't raise the gun up during high rates of fire for ball on ball accuracy. The break beam eye system prevents paintballs from getting chopped by the bolt, which can stop you from playing. Using an invisible beam of light that must be broken that allows the gun to fire will eliminate almost all chances of a chop! Electronic featured in the foregrip is powered via a 9V battery that enables to gun to achieve high rates of fire but also programmable for several different firing modes; Semi-Automatic, Full Automatic, Ramp, PSP and Millenium. The combination of the ASA with the regulator helps keep the gun more compact and performs consistently with the updated internals, the added on/off with bleed makes the tank easier to remove! This is the perfect paintball gun for any beginner to start of and with the new GS features it will be the star choice for many years!
GS Features:
Mini Features:
** Note: Only HPA capable paintball marker, Co2 will damage the gun and void the warranty

Where I stayed
Since this was so last minute, we didn't have a guidebook or much other than a little time at internet cafes to pick the island to go to. We have friends who went to Crete and loved it but it was 8 hours by ferry from Athens, which seemed too much, especially after so much traveling we've already done. We got a tip from a fellow traveler about Naxos and did a quick search on the internet and it seems to fit our criteria...5 hours by ferry, not too big, not too small, hiking options and cheap accommodations
We are staying in the main town on the island, which has a small port and a nice beach, although the water is too chilly to stay in the water longer than a quick dip. The town itself can be walked across in about 15 minutes and has charming cafes along the water and a castle at the top of the town. We are staying at Pension Irene I for US$33 per night and we have a small kitchenette and a nice balcony with a partial sea view. It's very spacious and spotlessly clean. We are up the hill about 5 minutes from the beach and main part of town.
So what have we done since we've been in Naxos?? Not much. We were exhausted when we got here. It was a long, sleepless journey to get here...we left Jerusalem at 4:00 p.m. on the last bus before the sabbath (the entire country stops at sundown--no buses--no shops--no nothing except Palestinian taxies that charge about $100 double time). Our goal was to get to the airport in Tel Aviv for a flight at 7:00 a.m., for which we had to be at the airport at 4:00 a.m. (The Israelies are extremely strict about getting to the airport 3 hours before flights.) Basically we hung out at the airport with a bunch of other tourists who didn't think about the sabbath when scheduling their flights out of Israel. Then we arrived in Athens at 9:00 a.m
So, for the week we have been in Naxos, we have mainly strolled around town, had a lot of wine while watching sunsets, eaten great Greek food and one day we did a big hike to the top of the highest mountain, Mt. Zas. (3,400 feet). The hike was 5 hours round trip and the views from the top were 360 degrees from one end of the island to the other, with about 10 other islands in the distance. Fantastic!
Naxos has been a perfect "vacation within a vacation." It sounds bad but we were getting tired of traveling and seeing sites all the time. We needed time to chill out without being hassled to buy stuff. It's nice to walk down village lanes and eat at restaurants with menu prices and go into shops and buy a candy bar without negotiating. How do we say this...it is nice to be at peace. If we compare Wadi Musa in Jordan (the town next to Petra) with Naxos, there is no comparison except they are about the same size and are built on hillsides and have a lot of tourists. You would think that is a lot of similarities but the towns could not be more different. Wadi Musa is dirty, has broken side walks, zero charming shops, very few cafes, and the shop owners could care less about your business
So after 7 days in Naxos, we have decided to take a little jaunt to the island of Santorini. It's supposed to be very posh and we really didn't have a big desire to go there but some people at our pension took a short trip there and said there is a new active volcano, which we really want to see. So we are off to Santorini for a few days...more later.

Picture this. Conrad Smith is not available for the June tests or Four Nations series.
We know he is going on sabbatical during the end-of-year tour to Europe so the selectors will be thinking about different players and ideas. The solution is not straightforward for the All Black panel.
They could shift Ma'a Nonu out to centre, but he has been a potent test force since he inhabited the second five-eighths role. Richard Kahui would have been the ideal choice at centre if he had not been going to Japan. He is available until after the Super 15 series and can fill the wing duties vacated by the injured Cory Jane.
Which still leaves us to sort out the next cab off the rank at centre.
Those seen this season in the Super 15 who will get discussion time will be Rene Ranger, Tim Nanai-Williams and Robbie Fruean.
Ranger has shown his strengths on defence and at the breakdown where his work rate has been strong. He is difficult to contain on attack with his fend and strong hips.
If he continues to produce, Ranger is a strong chance to regain the All Black place he held in 2010 but there is strong mail though that he has signed a contract to play in France.
He may have a get-out clause. If so the All Black selectors would be wise to activate it.
Nanai-Williams has been in dazzling form for the Chiefs. In Kahui's absence, he moved into centre and showed how his pace, sidestep and evasion skills could mesmerise tacklers while he did an adequate job on defence.
Fruean has been solid but the All Black selectors have struggled to pick him because he is error prone and his heart condition prevents him from being massively fit to handle the position the way they want.
Nothing looks like altering there. So who else? Maybe Tamati Ellison who debuted in that role for the All Blacks in 2009 but has not been seen this season because of injury.
His Highlanders buddy Ben Smith would be my pick.
He was the last man to play centre for the All Blacks instead of his namesake when he started against Scotland on last year's trip to Europe.
He's played 12 tests, is only 26, has speed and evasion skills, is solid on defence while his distribution will lift with a change of role. Plans for the next World Cup are well under way and Ben Smith should be marked down as the centre-in-waiting.

Yes, I already understand that you are using various dopes to keep your bees from dying. This is understandable from previous posts.
You are mistaken, as there there is a complete biological control for field management for control of parasitic mites and secondary diseases. Fortunately it does not involve petro chemical, it just involved honest field work.
You further wrote:
what bothers me is your dialog to new bekeepers that in a year or so will face the question as why there be are gone, read any of the last test results as published in the december issue of bee journal there is no complete control for mites, except yours,
Yes, I understand that even Cornell would like to teach beekeepers how to keep bees without usage of any dopes/crutches for parasitic mite and secondary disease control. Can you relate any, progress that has been made?
Yes, the December issue of ABJ painted a bleak future for continued chemical usage. The pesticide treatmill is hard. This is shown quite adequately here.
You further added:
my hive consitaantly produce double the pennsyvania average of 60lbs.and i understand your reasoning for censoring my replies, finally someone is questioning you.........
[This message has been edited by Admin (edited December 23, 2001).]
I myself have not edited here, and I am glad you hives are producing double the Penn. standard from what you say. Question: Do you feed artificial feeds? Additionally, do you take honey and then feed syrup, etc for going into winter?

Some Australian street artists like to mix politics with their paint. Given the rich history of political printmaking in this country, the recent do‑it‑yourself street art influx can be viewed as a new chapter in the lineage of political art in Australia. From the pioneering political posters and broadsheets of the 1930s and 1940s to the outpouring of politically and socially concerned posters of the 1980s and early 1990s—produced by artist collectives such as Redback Graphix and Earthworks Poster Collective—art and politics is now in the hands of a new generation of Australian artists.
Left-wing political convictions—including anti‑racism, anti‑war, anti‑globalisation, direct action, animal rights and environmentalism—are transmitted effectively through street stencils and posters. The overriding motivation of this new generation of artists is similar to that of their predecessors: to work on the street is the most effective, direct and unmitigated method of communication with the mass‑public.
A major strength of Australian street art is its ability to mix pop-cultural imagery with political message. From hard-hitting protest to political satire, clever combinations of sarcasm, mockery and paradox in placement, all of the artists here show their skill in utilising the street, and now the gallery, as a means to reach the Australian populous on topics of national and international concern.
Messages definitely change between street and gallery audiences. Whilst bold political statements remain much the same there are nuances that vary between audiences. The contemporary art world doesn't like didactic political statements as much as the general public does. The general public and their environment is filled with simple, didactic statements as exemplified by advertising and consumer culture. The contemporary art world relies on grey zones, in determinability and complexity to support the very systems that allow it to survive. I am interested in creating works that can be engaging for both of these audiences – maybe this is another component of being 'cross-over'.
James Dodd
At the time when I began stencilling the streets I was involved in quite a lot of environmental activism so that informed a lot of my early art making and influenced its political nature. My craft was learnt on the streets so it will always be connected to the street. I hope I'm still going out painting the streets when I'm 70!

[quote user="JPizzack"][quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="Morehead State"]
I think we will move the ball against their defense. Everybody does.

This game will come down to what it always comes down to with us....Can we get to the QB.

If we do, we can disrupt the timing of their scheme,and win the game. If we don't, Rodgers will torch us and we will lose.

I think its as simple as that.

[/quote]And we CANNOT turn the ball over.
Look at last weeks Saints game, the Lions were totally in it til they lost the loose ball and then it was time for Brees to kick it into overdrive. And they held their own (for most of the game) without a ground game. Hopefully we can stay secure with the ball and have a steady run game that will allow us to stay on the field and force Rodgers to watch from the sideline
exactly. we really can't play from behind in this game. We need to make sure we can ALWAYS run the ball effectively. if we are losing, we get more predictable. It's not that we wont score, but we'll be giving the ball back to rodgers every drive. we need to hit Rodgers consistently, and we need to keep him off the field!!
[/quote]And the giants offense CANNOT ***** foot around in the first quarter. We have to start off hot and FINISH. Eli and the running game have to be relentless so we can keep aaron and our defense off the field. CONTROL THAT CLOCK!
