Primary Colors: The Guide to Fall Color
There is a difference indeed between red and rhubarb, between green and ultramarine.
Any veteran of the fashion industry will tell you that seasonal style is a harsh mistress. Things change. Colors come and go. It's a fact of life we all must resign ourselves to, regardless of how dearly we enjoyed last year's trends.
Of those trends, color tends to be the most noticeable if not the most volatile. Seasonal swings can go from blue to brown to black and back again without ever missing a beat, and being just off the mark can mean being on the outside looking in. "Is that aquamarine? Sooooo last year. This year it's ultramarine!"
It can be a headache (some would say heartbreak); not only do we have to know which colors are in, we need to know which ones go with which, even if on the surface they seem all wrong. So we give you, as part of our Fall Fashion Preview, the color guide, a cheat sheet of sorts for the upcoming style season.
The Collegiate Look
Believe it or not, that Ron Burgundy-esque look from the late '70s is making its way back into the limelight. The rhubarb sport coat and Dijon-yellow turtleneck might be a bit much, but expect these colors (courtesy of college campuses everywhere) to make a run this fall as accent pieces: vests, ties, sneakers, scarves. They have an air of the Harvard upperclassman and when worn with the toned-down colors and straight lines below, really stand out as sophisticated counterpoints.
Believe it: Nike SB Dunk High Tops and accent wear everywhere.
The (Sleek) Silver Surfer
The gray suit revival of ought seven started with Mad Men and John Slattery and has since gained nothing but steam. The truly great thing about gray is that there are indeed at least 50 shades of the color and this year the three to the left (one may argue one is off-white, but its pantone call sign is "whitecap gray" and who are we to argue) are going to go a long way towards complimenting the sleek, straight direction tailors are taking in 2012.
Believe it: Come casual or come correct.
The Splash in the Pan
While some colors (gray) are ever-present and only subject to variation, bold colors tend to come and go with the breeze, always changing from season to season. Exhibit A is the chartreuse/ultramarine/Olympian blue combo to the left, which will hijack fall/winter outerwear, standing in stark contrast to the earthy tones we most commonly associate with the autumn months. Though we don't anticipate these colors infiltrating the workplace, don't be surprised to see a few ties turning up.
Believe it: The NJC Color Block Pullover from Nautica.
Toned-Down Brown
Finally we arrive at French Roast, the accent color that will fill out the fall roster and be paired with earthier blues and greens on everything from sweaters and shoes to shirts and ties. One of the emerging trends of the season is the reintroduction of heavy textures like corduroy, velvet and tweed, so don't be surprised by an abundance of deep browns and dark blues and greens on blazers and pants as denim starts to take a backseat to less-tried textures.
Believe it: Corduroy, not just for kids.

"The Giants' training camp practice today had many entertaining components, but perhaps none more than the ongoing competition between wide receiver Rueben Randle and cornerback Prince Amukamara.*Defensive line coach Robert Nunn is hopeful that Marvin Austin can make a significant impact for the first time as a third-year pro. Austin, a second-round draft choice in 2011, spent his rookie season on injured reserve and played in only eight games last year.
Randle, a second-year pro, was a standout for the second day in a row. But Amukamara, entering his third NFL season, challenged him all day and also made some plays.
"Prince competed like heck," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He really did and that's what we're trying to get there and he's rising to the occasion. He's being more and more competitive."
Hakeem Nicks (groin) sat out some team periods as a precautionary measure, so Randle ran with the first team against the starting defense, including Amukamara. He made a leaping catch on the sideline, another in the end zone and caught a long pass from Eli Manning that elicited a roar from the fans in attendance.
"He's made some outstanding plays and today he had a couple that were almost, that would've been nice plays," Coughlin said. "The one in the team drill in the left corner…the jump ball post in the middle of the field was a nice play."
After the workout, Randle focused more on missed opportunities than memorable receptions.
"I'm frustrated with the ones I didn't make," he said. "It's a lack of concentration, plays that you know you should make. You know you're going to make them, but they're still going to haunt you at the end of the day."
Randle and Amukamara agree that facing each other in practice is good preparation for regular-season games.
"It's great," Amukamara said. "I'm giving him good work and he's giving me good work. He's a prototypical receiver that I'm going to face a lot this year, with him being that size (6-3, 211), almost like a Miles Austin type, or a Dez Bryant type of build. So it definitely gives me those reps."
"It's just two guys trying to get better, make each other better," Randle said. "We both appreciate the competition so at the end of the day, we're just trying to make each other better and help the team out as much as possible. At the end of the day, we're teammates but also we're trying to compete and win."
*The defense intercepted five passes in practice, one each by Tyler Sash, Aaron Ross, Jyoron Hosley ,Junior Mertile, and Laron Scott. None of the picks were thrown by Manning.
So are ball-hawking skills instinctive or the product of good teaching?
"It's both," Coughlin said. "You can teach them where to be and how to play it and what position they should be in and where their eyes ought to be. And then, of course, there's some individual ability involved. You can definitely teach the whole thing probably except for catching the ball, which we can work at that, too."
"He's been healthy for the first time," Nunn said. "He's never been able to go through a true offseason because of different ailments that he's had. He's where he needs to be right now, he just can't disappear when the pads come on. He knows what he's got to do, I've spoken to him about it, when the pads come on he's got to produce, when he gets out there under the lights he's got to produce.
"Right now, he's got himself in the position to give himself the best opportunity since he's been here of having a productive year."
*Attendance for the first three days of camp at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center: 943 on Saturday, 7,439 on Sunday and 1,058 today.
*The Giants, who have practiced in shells for three days, will put their shoulder pads for the first time tomorrow. They are off on Wednesday before their first full pads practice on Thursday."

GREEN BAY, Wis. >> The Green Bay Packers will have to try to win for the first time in more than a month without Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers have ruled out their star quarterback for the game Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
"Aaron Rodgers is not ready to go," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday.
Rodgers hasn't played since breaking his left collarbone early in Green Bay's 27-20 loss to Chicago on Nov. 4.
That was the start of a five-game winless streak (0-4-1) for the Packers, whose playoff hopes are fading with a 5-6-1 record with four games to play.
Rodgers practiced on a limited basis this week, including Friday, but still hasn't been cleared to resume playing.
"Aaron's frustrated," McCarthy said. "We're in meetings all day together. There's a conversation each and every day. He's like every other player that's fighting to get back on the field. He has a rehab program, and how he feels going through it is obviously expressed every day. He's frustrated."
The Packers instead spent the week preparing Matt Flynn to make a second straight start at quarterback.
Flynn is looking to bounce back from a rough outing in Green Bay's 40-10 loss at NFC North leader Detroit on Thanksgiving last week.
"The one thing I need to do better?" Flynn said in response to that question being asked after practice Friday. "Play better. I don't think you can really look at any one part of what we did as an offense and say we did it well. We need to throw the ball better, and we need to get some completions."
Flynn completed just 10 of 20 passes for 139 yards with an interception against the Lions. He didn't lead the Packers into the end zone.
Detroit held Green Bay to a season-low 126 total yards, sacking Flynn seven times.
When asked how he has gone about putting that game in the rearview mirror, Flynn replied, "It's easy. Just don't think about it. Just forget about it."
As the fourth starting quarterback for the Packers this season, all in the last month, Flynn feels more at ease going into Sunday's game.
Even with Rodgers able to participate in individual drills and do some throwing on the field, Flynn took the first-string reps every day in practice this week. Flynn also had the benefit of a full week of studying the playbook and building a rapport with the rest of the guys on offense.
When he was named the starter for the last game, Flynn had only a few days and very limited practice time to absorb the game plan on the short week.
"It was good just to be able to call the plays," Flynn said of his work this week. "Now I feel like I'm calling the plays and not really thinking about where guys are lined up or what they're running. I feel more fluid with everybody, and I feel like we were able to get a little chemistry going."
McCarthy felt good about Flynn's progress by the end of the week.
"I thought Matt had a good day today. He missed some things yesterday," McCarthy said. "I thought he was sharp today."
Flynn might have to play behind a reshuffled offensive line with center Evan Dietrich-Smith (knee/ankle) questionable for Sunday.
Dietrich-Smith, who turned an ankle in practice Wednesday, didn't practice the last two days.
McCarthy said the team planned to put Dietrich-Smith through testing for the ankle, which has given him the most trouble the last few days, on Saturday.
"He's not ready as of today, so we'll see where he is," McCarthy said.
If Dietrich-Smith can't play Sunday, T.J. Lang likely will move from right guard to center.
The Packers would have a few options for filling the void at right guard, having used starting right tackle Don Barclay, Marshall Newhouse and rookie Lane Taylor there for spot duty in recent games.
Rookie left tackle David Bakhtiari practiced Friday after being sent home with an illness the previous day. Bakhtiari is probable for Sunday.
NOTES: Saying his struggling defense needs to tackle better and shore up its recent struggles against the run, veteran coordinator Dom Capers expressed optimism Friday that his group can get things turned around this season. "I think we're very capable," Capers said. "It's got to start this week. We've got to go out and it starts by not letting them (the Falcons) run the ball, try to get them in more predictable situations." The Packers have plummeted to No. 26 in the NFL for run defense, allowing an average of 125.9 yards per game, and are No. 24 in total defense (376.4 yards). . DT Ryan Pickett (knee) practiced on a limited basis Friday after being out a day and is probable. Also probable for the defense are LB Nick Perry (foot) and DE/LB Mike Neal (abdomen). Neal was in practice Friday for the first time this week. . McCarthy said the team would know more about the status of WR Randall Cobb on Tuesday. Cobb is on the injured reserve-designated to return list with a leg injury he sustained Oct. 13. Cobb is eligible to play again Dec. 15 at Dallas. But Cobb said Friday he hasn't been cleared to start running again.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I think it is funny how the position he has drafted the most is still arguably our biggest need. Maybe we should think to draft one a bit earlier than in the past haha..
someones dropping the ball on LBs in the scouting department.....Every year we hear how supposedly none of them fit our system,or there wasn't anyone their that they feel would make a difference....Yet every year theres LBs that go on to produce,while we draft guys like dillard,goff,sintim,etc...
2017 Draft Wishlist:
1. Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford
2. Raekwon McMillan ILB Ohio State
3. Roderick Johnson OT Florida State
4. Jordan Leggett TE Clemson
5. Ryan Glasgow DT Michegan
6. Chad Kelly QB Ole Miss
7. Billy Brown WR Shepherd
"Behold, the tailgate party. The pinnacle of human achievement. Since the dawn of parking lots, man has sought to fill his gut with food and alcohol in anticipation of watching others exercise."
- Homer J. Simpson
Jerry loves him some ACC..... This means next year the Giants will draft Logan Thomas.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
But the bigger truth is, in the first three rounds, the giants have not passed up a good LB to draft a bum. They have continually picked guys who were very good over LBs.
Do you fault them for taking JPP over Weatherspoon? Or Linval over Washington?
I personally cant.

You are here: Home > Parking, roads & transport > Parking fines
Parking fines or infringements are issued to owners of vehicles that do not adhere to parking restrictions. These restrictions are put in place and enforced to help facilitate traffic flow, to protect residential parking and to ensure a good turn-over of vehicles in busy retail areas.
Council's parking officers, often at the request of residents and community groups, also enforce parking restrictions for safety reasons. This can include unblocking driveways and clearways and protecting emergency hospital spaces and school crossings. When a vehicle has illegally overstayed a parking restriction, a fine or infringement will be issued. Motorists have 28 days to pay the fine. The fine outlines various ways to make the payment, including assistance for those with special circumstances and payment plan options.
Failure to pay an infringement notice or to contact Council within 28 days may result in further action being taken. This may include additional costs, enforcement or legal action.
Parking tickets are officially called Infringement Notices. The way they are enforced is regulated by State law and is the same for all councils.
A parking ticket can be handed to you, left on your car's windscreen or be sent to you in the mail.
You can pay for an infringement notice by:

With recent innovations and research Sennelier offers a wide variety of synthetic pigments that perfectly match the performance of such ancient mineral pigments such as Lapis Lazuli and Cinnabar.
Yet at the same time Sennelier still mines the earth for minerals and other natural elements from traditional sources - pigments like clays and iron oxides used in ochres and the preparation of burnt earth colours from calcified soil.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Sennelier still keeps a watchful eye on the pigments selected for it's lines of artists' quality oils, oil sticks, watercolours, soft pastels and oil pastels. These very same pigments are available to artists wishing to master the preparation of their own colours.

|Re: st: calculating SMRs, examples?
|Tue, 13 Sep 2005 21:17:23 +0200
Raoul asked: Are there any good websites or books out there that explain in detail how to calculate a standardized mortality ratio (SMR) with poisson regression using external rates? I find that the STATA manuals do not contain a lot of information regarding this topic, any suggestions? ---- I don't know how much you know, so this may be too basic: Indirect standardization to obtain SMRs may be performed by Stata in several ways, among others: -istdize- (see [R] dstdize) -strate- (see [ST] strate) -poisson- (see [R] poisson) I found -istdize- somewhat complex to work with; it requires quite a bit of date preparation, and some of the requirements don't seem very logical to me. I found -strate- friendlier and more logical. It requires that you: 1. -stset- 2. -stsplit- the observations in age bands corresponding to the age groups in your reference dataset (reference population mortality rates) 3. -merge- the dataset and the reference file by age group. Now, each observation represents a person-ageband with time at risk (pyrs = _t - _t0), death (_d), and reference mortality rate (e.g. mrate): . strate , smr(mrate) You may proceed from here to -poisson-; it requires the expected number of deaths: . gen edeaths = pyrs*mrate . poisson _d exposure(edeaths) , irr Was this what you needed?

Looks like demand and price are going to keep going up. good sign
Well i have to say,those are some big numbers.But I wouldnt count my chickens until they hatch.Everything has a big boom,then falls and levels again.Just to many variables for me.
Well anyway in spite of the whole free for all it is a real blessing to have all that money flowing down the pipeline. Last week there were shakers and sweepers being moved all over now the bottom dumps for the nuts are getting moved around. I personally haven't seen any loads of nuts being hauled yet but they are on the ground and drying. Once they get going there is like one semi per minute for 2months & more going up & down the highway next to my shop. It is a production of a huge amount of high value food and I have to admit I am proud to be a part of the process!
[QUOTE=TwT;346661]Looks like demand and price are going to keep going up. good sign
TwT, I saw nothing about price in your link.
Nonpareil were going for $2.00 & pollinators were $1.60
So, don't get to happy and wet your skivies.
P.S. volume does not equal price.
I have seen skivies wet on bolth sides.Market for bees or boxes wich ever you want to call it,going from one extreme to another.

tecumseh sezs: but volume and (times) price does equal qross. since agriculturalgoods are inelastic (that's an economic concept) price and volume don't move exactly 1:1 in relations to one another. it is not uncommon for gross (for an individual) to expand when the crop is small and the price is large.

A strong cold front will approach Arkansas Tuesday. As the front moves into the warm, moist air accompanied by a strong jet stream aloft, potentially strong to severe thunderstorms will develop.
Storms will develop over Western and Northwest Arkansas during the early afternoon and push Eastward during the late afternoon and evening hours. Below is the forecast radar for Tuesday afternoon pushing into Western Arkansas.
Storms will develop into a squall line with locally damaging wind gusts as the storms push Eastward into Central Arkansas. The greatest risk for storms in Central Arkansas is during the evening hours, especially between about 6PM and 10PM. Below is our computer model projection for 8PM, showing the storms over Central Arkansas.
Storms will push through Eastern Arkansas during the late evening hours and out of the State by shortly after Midnight.
Along with strong damaging wind gusts, isolated embedded tornadoes are possible along the squall line due to the strong wind shear. Below is the Storm Prediction Center severe weather outlook for tomorrow. All of Arkansas is under a risk area for severe storms. A moderate risk has been issued for parts of Central, Southern and Eastern Arkansas where the severe threat is greatest
Very strong wind shear along with warm, moist air in place ahead of the front will create an environment conducive for spin-ups to develop along the squall line. These spin-ups may create tornadoes, and due to the strong wind field in place any tornado that does form may be strong to violent (EF2 or higher) The storm prediction Center has placed much of Arkansas in a enhanced risk for EF2 or stronger tornadoes for Tuesday evening as indicated in the shaded area below.
The tornado threat will be highest across Central, Eastern and Southeast Arkansas, where the combination of wind shear and instability will be maximized. Below are tornado probabilities as indicated by the Storm Prediction Center.
(probability of a tornado within 25 miles of a given point)
Some locally heavy rains are also possible with over 2 inches possible in some spots. Some brief ponding of water on roadways is possible, but significant flooding is not expected. Storms will exit the State by shortly after Midnight, followed by sharply cooler air for Wednesday morning.

Righting the frame would be a pain at this point, and the wheelbase would become a lot shorter. I'll give that fork a ride first, and then try righting it if it is still twitchy.

At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering the option of screening tests and diagnostic tests for Down syndrome to all pregnant women, regardless of age.
Your health care provider can discuss the types of tests, advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks, and the meaning of your results. If appropriate, your provider may recommend that you talk to a genetics counselor.
Screening for Down syndrome is offered as a routine part of prenatal care. Although screening tests aren't perfect, they can help you make decisions about more-specific diagnostic tests and the course of the pregnancy.
Various screening tests can help identify whether you have a high risk of carrying a baby with Down syndrome, but they can't identify whether your baby has Down syndrome. Screening tests include the first trimester combined test, the integrated screening test and the cell-free fetal DNA analysis.
The first trimester combined test, which is done in two steps, includes:
Using your age and the results of the blood test and the ultrasound, your health care provider can estimate your risk of having a baby with Down syndrome.
The integrated screening test is done in two parts during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. The results are combined to estimate the risk that your baby has Down syndrome. This test can achieve the same level of detection as the first trimester combined test but with a lower false-positive rate, meaning that fewer women are incorrectly identified as carrying a baby with Down syndrome.
The cell-free fetal DNA test checks for fetal DNA circulating in the mother's blood. This test is usually recommended for women who have a higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome or in response to risk detected by one of the previous tests. The mother's blood can be tested during pregnancy after 10 weeks gestation.
This test appears to be much more specific than other screening methods for Down syndrome. If this screening test indicates a high risk of Down syndrome, a more invasive diagnostic test may be used to determine whether your baby actually has Down syndrome.
If your screening test results are positive or worrisome, or you're at high risk of having a baby with Down syndrome, you might consider more testing to confirm the diagnosis. Your health care provider can help you weigh the pros and cons of these tests.
Diagnostic tests that can identify Down syndrome include:
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is one option available for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization who are at increased risk of passing along certain genetic conditions. The embryo is tested for genetic abnormalities before it's implanted in the womb.
After birth, the initial diagnosis of Down syndrome is often based on the baby's appearance. But the features associated with Down syndrome can be found in babies without Down syndrome, so your health care provider will likely order a test called a chromosomal karyotype. Using a sample of blood, this test analyzes your child's chromosomes. If there's an extra chromosome 21 present in all or some cells, the diagnosis is Down syndrome.

Joyce Does It Her way
I'd like to tell you a story about a Brazilian musician you've probably never heard of. Her name is Joyce Moreno; she is 66 and has been singing and composing professionally for 47 years, during which time she has made more than 30 recordings. I flipped for her music when I first heard her last spring at Birdland, in Midtown Manhattan, and I've been listening to her, more or less obsessively, ever since.

OLED: Oppenheimer Reassured on Product, Patent Promise
Oppenheimer & Co.'s Andrew Uerkwitz today offers up some details of his firm's first-ever "emerging innovations" conference, held yesterday in New York.
Among the presenters was Universal Display (OLED), maker of organic light-emitting diode technology, whose shares Uerkwitz rates Outperform. He writes today that his conversation with chief financial officer Sidney Rosenblatt left him "more confident" about the stock as one of his top picks.
Uerkwitz writes the discussion involved a review of Universal's wins with Samsung Electronics (005930KS) in mobile phones, and the prospect of further business with LG Display (LPL):
Over the past six months, we've seen the following models adopt UDC technology: the Galaxy series, the Note 3, the Galaxy Gear Watch, Moto X, Nokia, and Blackberry Q10. Additionally, we discussed the impact of LG Display's expansion as it expects to open a dedicated Gen 8 plant by 2H14. Assuming full production.
He also notes that he was impressed with discussion of the company's patents:
We continued our discussion around the patent portfolio and became more confident in its strength. For example, we were reminded that prior to signing a license agreement, Samsung spent considerable time reviewing the validity of UDC's patent portfolio. Additionally, UDC's core patents haven't been challenged in US federal courts—we believe this would be one of the first places we'd see any serious threat to its portfolio. And finally, after reviewing recent cases, we do not believe anything new has been recently disclosed to negatively affect our view. As a reminder, the company holds 1,493 issued patents and 1,601 pending patents, which covers all phosphorescent OLED devices.
Noted short-seller Manuel Asensio continued his attack on Universal's patent position in a Web posting, writing that the company needs to provide further disclosure about its claims to own rights to key underlying technologies of OLEDs. Among his arguments, "Where is the physical basis UDC relies on to justify its claims that the company "owns" phosphorescent OLED?"
I have a message in to Uerkwitz's office for any commentary he has regarding Asensio's claims.
Other interesting notes from Uerkwitz's report are a bunch of comments about the emerging trends in displays for products of various sorts, from wearable technology (e.g., smart watches) to television sets:
Display as Interface: Hyped trends such as wearable electronics,
ubiquitous mobile computing, and social networking are putting head-up display back to the focus of device development. Display design largely determines the functionality and usability of a piece of wearable electronics. Innovations around display will be critical to the adoption and success of wearable electronics. Ecosystem: Most panelists agree that superior display performance no longer guarantees the product success. Ecosystem support including software (apps), developer community, content and easy access to content are among the top concerns. 1080 HD Is So Yesterday. Above and Beyond Display: Display enhancement technologies/materials such as OLED, LED, quantum dots are not limited to producing displays as a pure information output device. Size, texture, and power consumption will have a significant impact consumer behavior and social interaction. Above and Beyond Current Display Market: Display technology does not stop at giant 4K OLED TVs. Panelist offers multiple versions of future displays. As research and development matures for materials such as OLED, quantum dots, and LEDs, future displays will come in much more varied forms and sizes. Example cited are flexible/unbreakable display, conformable and bendable display, display that offers much better color gamut (120% NTSC vs. current 60-70% NTSC), and display that potentially consumes 10x less power and is 5x brighter than current LCD displays. No Simple Replacement: New materials such as copper metal mesh, silver nanowires, and carbon nanotubes not only offer the potential for cheaper and better performing replacement of ITO, the mainstream sensor material of today, but also provide new possibilities for touch-enabled displays. New touch sensor materials allows for flexible and bendable displays and large-sized touch screens. Adoption Hurdles: ITO is not going to be replaced over night. Major hurdles include: 1) resistance from current incumbents, who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing necessary infrastructure and supply chain; 2) new sensor material providers are smaller companies who have not yet developed capacity suitable for mass production, which also increase the risk of not being able to achieve desired yield at true commercial scale; and 3) concerns for single source.

What is a sweatshop?
Sweatshops also exist in the United States. A 2000 investigation by the Department of Labor found that two-thirds of the garment factories in Los Angeles failed to meet basic minimum wage and overtime laws—meaning that the workers in those factories were not paid fairly. And here in the U.S. workers routinely face repression and intimidation when they try to form unions, according to studies by Human Rights Watch and others. The products at the store may seem like a bargain, but they come with a very high human price for the workers that made them.
A sweatshop is any factory where workers' basic human rights to form independent trade unions are violated, or where employees are not paid a living wage—which means enough money to support their families with dignity. Sweatshop workers face dangerous and exploitative conditions and often suffer from health and safety hazards, lack of benefits, and arbitrary discipline. Many goods manufactured in poor nations—from Alpine car stereos, to Nike shoes and clothes, to children's toys sold at Wal-Mart—are produced in sweatshops.
Why do sweatshops exist?
Workers around the world suffer from abuse and poverty because giant corporations have decided to put profits before people's dignity. With Wall Street constantly pressuring companies to increase profits, corporations claim they are forced to move factories to places with weak labor protections and low wages. This "race-to-the-bottom" is at the root of the sweatshop resurgence.
1. Buy Fair Trade and Sweatshop-Free Products
Look for:
- The Fair Trade Federation [2] logo and the Fair Trade USA [3]certification label guarantee that producers organized into democratic cooperatives receive a fair wage for their products, such as crafts, coffee, chocolate, tea and fresh fruit.
- Global Exchange's Fair Trade stores offer alternatives to sweatshop production by working with artisan and farmer cooperatives worldwide. You'll find hundreds of Fair Trade items to choose from, including crafts, jewelry, toys, books, clothing, coffee & chocolate, gift baskets and more! Shop online [4] or at one of our stores [5] in San Francisco and Berkeley.
- UNITE HERE!, UFCW and other union made labels certify that the garment was made in a unionized factory under fair labor conditions. Visit www.ShopUnionMade.org [6] to select from a list of union-made products (including business apparel!).
- Cooperatives are collectively owned by the workers themselves giving them control over their wages and labor conditions. One example is:
- Fuerza Unida [7] 210-927-2294
- Some cooperative distributers are:
- Maggie's Organics [8] 800-609-8593
- Market Place India [9] 800-736-8905
- North Country Fair Trade [10] 651-336-1698
- Buy used clothing from consignment or thrift stores. Donate unwanted clothing.
2. Host Chie Abad, former sweatshop worker and powerful speaker, to speak in your community and to activate your Sweatshop Free Campaign! Contact Speakers Bureau [11] or 415-575-5550.
3. Demand Corporate Accountability from clothing companies and other corporations that are driving the "race to the bottom." Insist that they pay workers a living wage and support workers' right to organize!
Join current Corporate Campaigns against
4. Pass sweatshop-free government procurement policies in your community.
Governments are the largest purchasers of goods and services in the world. We can use the government's buying power to help build the market for fair goods by convincing institutional buyers to commit to purchasing sweatfree products. Our tax dollars pay, for example, for police and fire department uniforms, so let's ensure they're not supporting sweatshops!
Contact Global Exchange at 415-558-6938 or email@example.com [14] for a detailed how-to guide and more resources on passing sweatshop-free policies.
The following organizations are working to stop sweatshop abuses:
Global Exchange [15]
United Students Against Sweatshops [16]
Campaign for Labor Rights [17]
National Labor Committee [18]
Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras [20]

Going home again: A great office is a key to success for new home-based workers
(BPT) - Whoever first said, 'You can't go home again,' probably wasn't considering the 38 million home-based businesses in the United States, or the approximately 37 million households that have active home offices. More workers are plying their trade from home, as employers recognize the value of flexibility for their work force and more employees decide to enter the ranks of American entrepreneurship.
It's not just small business owners or lucky full-time employees who are working from home, either; the Bureau of Labor Statistics says 24 percent of people employed outside the home work at home at least some of the time. If you're poised to become home-based, here are some things to consider as you're putting your home office in order:
Location is key
Without the need to fight rush-hour traffic during a twice-daily commute, you may think the location of your home office isn't that important. Actually, it is. Where your office is located in your home can affect your productivity and even your personal life.
Choose a room that's in your home's heavy traffic lanes, and you could face frequent interruptions. Park your desk in the game room over the garage and you may feel isolated from the rest of the house. Try to stuff a desk in a corner of your bedroom and you'll spend most of your life stuck in the same room - you may even feel less inclined to sleep there if you're always working in your bedroom.
You'll need to balance personal and professional priorities in order to decide which room in the house makes the most sense for your home office.
Good lighting sets the stage for success
The harshness of artificial lighting is a common complaint among people working in offices outside the home. A window in one's office has long been a sign of prestige in cities across the country, and having abundant natural light in a home office is one of the many advantages of working from home. Natural lighting has a mood-boosting impact that's been well-documented, making office workers feel happier, healthier and more productive. What's more, use of natural light can help reduce reliance on artificial lighting and trim utility bills accordingly.
If the space you've chosen for your home office is short on windows and adding them isn't practical, skylights can be a good alternative, not only for lighting but also to save valuable wall space for other uses. Adding Energy Star-qualified skylights, like those manufactured by VELUX America, can be as cost-effective as installing quality vertical windows, without creating the hassle of opening a wall. If you opt for a remote-controlled fresh air skylight, you can also use it to enhance the indoor air quality of your home office. Additionally, many of the features that make skylights appealing in other areas of the house - such as privacy in a bathroom or space conservation in a small bedroom - also make them a good choice for a home office.
Finally, skylights can be a good investment for your home-based business. Adding no-leak solar-powered fresh-air skylights and energy-efficient solar-powered blinds to your home office can qualify for a 30-percent federal tax credit on both products, including the installation costs. And from now until Aug. 15, there's also a $200 cash rebate from VELUX on solar powered skylights. Visit www.veluxusa.com or energystar.gov to learn more about energy-efficient skylights. Want to see how skylights would look in your home? A free skylight planner app is available to show you, room by room, what's possible with skylights.
Furnishings create a foundation
Considering how much time you'll spend in your home office, it's important to invest in furnishings that will be functional, comfortable, inspiring and in step with your lifestyle.
If you prefer to sit while you work on a computer, the comfort of your office chair will be key. Prefer to get in a bit of healthful exercise while you work? Consider an ergonomic desk that allows you to stand while you type. Many versions of standing desks also can be lowered for use while seated.
Desks should incorporate storage and easy access to electronic components. Office chairs should be comfortable and ergonomically correct. Be sure your furniture choices not only fit your needs, but the room's, too. A huge desk may make you feel like a Wall Street CEO, but your enjoyment will evaporate if you don't have space to walk around the desk in a small office. It's important to keep office furniture appropriate to the scale of the room you'll be working in.
The number of people working from home continues to grow, according to Census Bureau statistics. One study by a Chinese travel website found that working from home increased employee productivity by nearly 14 percent, according to the Harvard Business Review. Ensuring your home office is set up to inspire can help you achieve greater productivity and satisfaction as you work from home.

Lovely Venice apartment in a great location everything worked, the kitchen had everything we needed and we had many lovely walks through Venice from here. There is a supermarket close by at it is easy to get to from the train and bus station.
We spent three nights in this holiday flat and are can recommend it. Located near to the Grand Canal (approx. 200 m from the railway station) this flat is very silent. The flat is in good shape: Beds are comfortable and the kitchen equipment is basic but sufficient. We appreciated the communication before our arrival with Giogia. She provided documentation about the way from the car park to the flat. Furthermore, the handover of the keys by Manuela worked without problem; she also explained the equipment in the flat (e.g. air condition, oven, bathroom etc). The excellent English skills were helpful.
From the vaporette station you can easily reach all scenic locations in Venice. A COOP (pretty large supermarket near Piazzale Roma) can be reached by a 5 minutes walk or more convenient by vaporetto in 2 minutes.
We can recommend this flat. When we return to Venice we will try to book this one again.
Perfekt host. Very polite. Absolutely no problems with the communication or the checkin what so ever. We had an amazing time in Venice thanks to the host.
Everything was fine. The apartment is located in the city near the railway station (Ferrovia) and the central bus stop Piazzale Roma. Both are in neighbourhood to each other, there are a lot of vaporetto-stations, too. The next supermarket "COOP" nearby at the vaporetto station Piazzale Roma (beside the post office) - in walking distance. By bus Nr. 5 (direction airport Marco Polo from platform Nr. 1) you theoretically could also reach a Lidl grocery store in 15 minutes. But we didn´t.
The appartement was easy to find, clean and practical. In the bedroom were one double and one single bed, in the livingroom/ kitchen one large couch that could be used as double bed. The kitchen has everything you need. Very practical were the shopping trolley and laundry rack for drying the towles.
There is freee WiFi and TV. Two german TV-programms were a bit "hidden": ZDF = channel 57, ARD = channel 304.
The answer of Giorgia was quick, she and Manuela (who gave the keys) were very kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and made many excursions by boat and by foot. We can recommend this accommodation and would be happy to come back.
It war the third time in this year in this Apartment, and Giorgia and Fabiano were very helpful and friendly.
I enjoyed the excellent Service!
I´m sure, I will come back again!
Kind regards,
Very nice but rather dark apartment at very convenient location. We stayed here with 4 people (2 couples). From the advertisement we gathered that there were 2 bedrooms, but in fact there is one big master bedroom with space for another single bed. There is a kind of loft above the livingroom annex kitchen without a door, with just enough space for 2 single beds, serving as a second bedroom. 2 bathrooms is very handy. There is a sofa bed in the livingroom where 2 people could sleep. Giorgia and her partner are very good hosts.
This is the second time I stood at that wunderful apartment in this year.
I want to say again, the service, customer relation and the apartment itself is wonderful.
One more time Giorgia, Fabriano and the whole team gave their best for professionality and taking care with the goal that a customer can really enjoy his stay.
I can really recommend this apartment, the location and the team.
Kind regards,
We have had a very nice stay in the Lagoon apartment.
Giorgia and Fabiano are very kind and helpful persons.
The apartment is nice and have a really good location in the center of the Sestiere Cannaregio, wich is our preferably Sestiere to stay. The only wish we have is a bit more light in the apartment for reading and cooking, but no dout: we will wish to stay in this apartment next time we come to Venice.
The location of this apartment was great. A quiet little spot to get away from the crowds and not too far to take suitcases from the train station. Everything was great, we would just recommend a few more kitchen items.

Now I see What Every body talking about
So I notice the distinct difference in UC3 & UC2 mainly in the way I play well not how I play more so how my games turn out whenever I play TDM in UC2 I consistanly hit double digits even when playing against veterns but when I play TDM or any competive mode in UC3 I find myself struggling just to keep up I dont know if its me or the game at one point it seem like I was getting better but recently it feels like my skills have diminished a little...is any body else having this problem???
Re: Now I see What Every body talking about
All games have different multiplayer styles whether it be how fluid you can move, how sensitive the camera move, how much a gun can zoom in, etc. It can be little things. Transitioning from one game to another can be hard if it's a big change or if it's something which dramatically weakens your playing style.
For example, I can't play Portal 2 and go back to Uncharted 3 without screwing up and shooting myself instead of the enemy.
As for Tomb Raider, I put the sensitivity on 1 and played with that for a couple of days. Then just today I had a few friends who wanted me to play Uncharted so I went over and they chose a custom T-Bolt and I was on fire. Sensitivity 1 on Tomb Raider and the sensitivity for the T-Bolt is so close together that I found that I was actually better.
Re: Now I see What Every body talking about
on UN2 the health is low so you can kill people easily but the way you can dogde the bullets and avoid its no realistic , however in UN3 the health is so high so it takes many bullets to kill them but for me the gameplay in UN3 is more stable the Power weapon takes a bit more time to respawn unlike UN2 when they respawn every min so you end up playing with a shoot gun or rpg with 7 bullets all the through the game

Graduate Students
- Graduate Assistantships
- Graduate Student Traineeships
- Graduate Student Scholarships
- Master of Social Work Scholarships
- Student Employment Opportunities
- Need-Based Financial Aid
- Student Loan Programs
- Federal Workstudy Programs
- Financial Aid for Summer Sessions
General Eligibility Standards
Virtually all federal student aid financial assistance awarded by the College, including student loans, is limited to:
- Students who have been accepted into a program that will lead to a degree.
- Students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens.
- Students who are enrolled at the College carrying at least one-half the normal full-time academic load. 4.5 credits per semester is considered half-time enrollment.
For financial aid purposes, student enrollment status is normally verified after the end of the Add period (first two weeks of a semester). Hence, those who are officially classified as non-matriculated students, visiting students, or special students should anticipate that their awards would be canceled. Students whose status at the end of the Add period is less than full time should expect that the amount of their award(s) might be reduced proportionately and/or canceled.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are limited to accepted degree candidates who are enrolled full time. The duties of a graduate assistant usually involve such activities as classroom instruction, preparation for and supervision of laboratory sections, direction of discussion or recitation sections, grading papers, and research. The student may be required to devote a maximum of 20 hours a week to such work, not more than 10 hours of which may be in classroom contact hours. The normal course load for a graduate assistant is nine hours per semester.
Graduate assistants receive a stipend of $3,000 to $3,500 for the academic year, and remission of tuition and registration fees for the academic year and summer session. Appointments to assistantships are for one year. Renewals must be recommended to the Dean of Graduate Studies by the department chair. Students must apply for assistantships by March 1 through the appropriate graduate program. The awarding of assistantships for the ensuing year will be announced in May.
Interested candidates should contact the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Graduate Student Traineeships
Graduate student traineeships are limited to accepted M.S.W. degree candidates who are enrolled full time and who are not in the first year of the advanced standing program. Graduate trainees in the School of Social Work receive tuition remission for the academic year and are required to work 10 hours per week on assignments within the School of Social Work.
Interested candidates who are accepted into the M.S.W. program should contact the School of Social Work.
Graduate Student Scholarships
Scholarship assistance is available to graduate students through the Elizabeth S. Carr Trust Fund, for students in the elementary/early childhood education programs, and through the Rhode Island College Alumni Association. The Harrower Family Award is available through the Department of English and the graduate dean. Specific information on these and other scholarships is available from the Dean of Graduate Studies, the Office of Student Financial Aid, and for alumni scholarships, the Office of Alumni Affairs.
Master of Social Work Scholarships
In addition to offering Rhode Island College Graduate Student Scholarships, the School of Social Work offers Master of Social Work Graduate Scholarships to full-time M.S.W. students. These scholarships are used to match Federal Work Study funds to enable recipients to obtain paid field placements in non-profit agencies and organizations. To be eligible for these scholarships, students should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov. The School of Social Work also offers the following scholarships to second-year students enrolled full time in the M.S.W. program: the Juanita Handy Scholarship, awarded to a minority and/or woman student, and the Mary G. Davey Scholarship, awarded to a student who is dedicated to child welfare. Specific information and requirements can be obtained from the dean of the School of Social Work.
Student Employment Opportunities
The Career Development Center provides information to students who are seeking part-time employment during the academic year or summer employment. Employment opportunities may occur on and off campus, and many of them are career oriented. One source of employment is the Federal Work-Study Program, which is based on financial need. However, students who do not apply for financial aid and/or who are not eligible for financial aid may also be employed in designated career-oriented and other jobs both on and off campus. Interested students should register for employment with the Office of Student Employment located in the Career Development Center.
Need-Based Financial Aid
Need-based financial aid for graduate students consists of student loans and Federal Work-Study. In addition to demonstrating financial need, general eligibility requirements for financial aid include acceptance for admission as a candidate for a degree or approved certificate program, enrollment on at least a half time basis (4.5 credits per semester) and status as a U. S. Citizen or permanent resident.
To apply for need-based assistance during 2016-2017, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. Priority for funds administered by Rhode Island College will be given to applications received at the federal processing center by May 15, 2016.
Applications should be submitted as soon after January 1 as possible. To have your FAFSA information sent to Rhode Island College, enter our Federal School Code, 003407, in Step 6 of the FAFSA. It is not necessary to list the college name, address or state, but be sure to enter a housing code to indicate where you plan to live while attending the College. While it is preferable to use income figures from a completed 2015 income tax return, you may use estimated income figures if necessary to ensure on-time application. After the FAFSA is submitted, the federal processor will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR). Be sure that Rhode Island College is listed on the SAR, otherwise we will not be able to receive your information from the federal processor. If Rhode Island College is not listed or a SAR is not received within four to six weeks, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243.
Note: Rhode Island College reserves the right to require verification of income data submitted by any and all applicants for financial assistance. Awards for those who are asked for such verification will be made conditional upon receipt of the requested information/documentation. Forms of documentation or verification that may be requested include, but are not limited to, copies of IRS tax transcripts and copies of authorization letters for untaxed income. Any discrepancy in reported figures may result in adjustment or cancellation of the financial aid award and may be reported to the federal government for further review and possible legal action.
Student Loan Programs
Federal Direct Loans
Federal legislation eliminated Subsidized Direct Loans for graduate students effective July 1, 2012. Unsubsidized Direct Loans have an interest charge during the in-school and grace periods. As of October 1, 2016, the loans have a fixed interest rate of 5.31 percent. These loans also have a 1.069 percent origination fee. The repayment period extends up to 10 years, but there is a minimum monthly payment of $50.
Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year from the Unsubsidized Direct Loan. In all cases, the total amount of student aid from all programs is limited to a student's total educational costs as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Direct Graduate PLUS Loan
Graduate students who have remaining educational expenses after borrowing their maximum annual eligibility under the Direct subsidized and unsubsidized programs may borrow from the PLUS program to meet the remaining portion of their cost of attendance. As noted above, the total amount of student aid from all programs is limited to a student's total educational costs as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
As of October 1, 2016, Direct PLUS loans have a fixed interest rate of 6.31 percent. Repayment may be deferred for up to six months after you are no longer enrolled at least half time. As with the unsubsidized Direct Loan, interest accrues during the period of enrollment and grace period. In addition to interest, these loans have a 4.276 percent origination fee.
Federal Work-Study Program
This is a part-time employment program based upon financial need. A work-study award is paid biweekly at an hourly rate, based on hours worked. Eligibility is determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid, using information from the FAFSA. The Career Development Center assists work-study students with job placement on or off campus. While work-study students receive priority for job placement, the College cannot guarantee placement in a position.
Financial Aid for Summer Sessions
In addition to the process outlined above, students who wish to apply for financial assistance for summer sessions must submit a Rhode Island College Application for Financial Aid-Summer Sessions. These forms are available from the Office of Student Financial Aid on or about February 1 each year. A form may also be obtained online (see Forms on Main Page). Summer Session aid is contingent upon the availability of funds and normally consists of Direct Loans and Federal Work-Study. Preference is given to applicants who file summer applications prior to April 1.

Help these Pequot Lakes, Pine River-Backus girls in need
Kinship Partners usually has many more boys than girls waiting for mentors.
All of our offices combined have 21 boys on the waiting list and nearly that many girls, with 17 ready to be matched. It is unusual that in the Lakes Office, serving the Pequot Lakes and Pine River-Backus school districts, six of the nine children waiting for mentors are girls.
Here's a brief sketch of a few of these wonderful young ladies, full of promise and potential, who would enjoy sharing time with nurturing and caring women from our communities.
• KARLIE is a seventh-grader who enjoys arts and crafts, swimming and music.
• EMILY is a fifth-grader who loves animals and enjoys theatre and music.
• KRISTI is a fifth-grader and says she is a tomboy and wants to learn about horses.
• DENA is having a blast in kindergarten and loves to jump rope.
• KIRA is in third grade and is into dance and playing in the snow.
As the days warm toward summer, wouldn't it be fun to include a girl in need, as you tend your garden, bike the trail, savor an ice cream cone or toss a softball? Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing and southern Cass counties and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth ages 5 to 14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.
For information on these girls or any of the children waiting for mentors, call 218-454-8016 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Our website is www.kinshippartners.org.
Spring fun is just around the corner!

The Florida Keys Mosquito Control will not raise property taxes or take money out of reserves, but has still managed to balance its 2013-14 fiscal year budget.
The district was looking at pulling $21,571 out of reserves to balance the budget, but late Thursday, district officials managed to find money in a capital fund to cover the small shortfall, Mosquito Control Commissioner Jack Bridges said.
"I am officially tickled pink," Bridges joked Friday. "We have worked hard in the past couple years to reduce costs, while still providing a quality service."
The district recently reduced its 2013-14 budget from about $10.2 million to $9.75 million, cutting health benefit expenses and reducing overlapping costs.
Mosquito Control is proposing a tax rate that would charge $50 per $100,000 of property value, and generate nearly $9.7 million, according to the district.
During the past two fiscal years, the district did not raise property taxes, but took millions out of reserves to balance its operating budget.
Despite a tight upcoming budget, the district was still able to set aside $80,000 in the upcoming budget to lease or purchase a drone and $300,000 for a new computer system that incorporates GPS technology, enabling field inspectors and helicopter pilots to increase their efficiency.
Bridges attributed the ability to make such necessary high-dollar purchases and still balance the budget to Executive Director Michael Doyle, who was hired two years ago.
"When he came here, I was worried that we were hiring a guy in a white lab coat who likes to look at bugs, but he has turned out to be a first-rate scientist with a great business sense," Bridges said. "He understands business and he understands politics. He is also very well-liked in the community. We are very lucky to have him."
The Mosquito Control board will finalize its budget and property tax rate when it meets at 11 a.m. Sept. 14. The fiscal year starts Oct. 1.
"I think we have come a long way," Commissioner Steve Smith said. "We have a lot of geographic challenges that big, square-chunk counties in the state don't have to deal with."

Give your room a stunning new look and feel by adding DIY recessed lights. Even if you don't have access to the ceiling from the attic, you can install these lights by following the directions shown here. You don't have to tear up your ceiling either. We'll show you how to add these lights to your room with minimum ceiling tear-out and patching. You can also use these wiring techniques to install other types of ceiling lighting.
Recessed fixtures cast dramatic light in the room.
The lights give the room a dramatic appearance.
Thinking about adding recessed lights but don't want to tear out your whole ceiling to do it? Luckily you don't have to. With a little ingenuity and special remodeling housings, you can install a roomful of recessed lights with minimal drywall tear-out and patching.
We'll show you how to install the housing and fish the wires through a narrow, strategically placed slot cut in your ceiling. The techniques we'll show you will work in almost any situation, but if you're lucky enough to have access to the ceiling from the attic, the job will be even easier. However, this is not a project for novices. You should know the basics of connecting wires and installing electrical boxes.
In this article, we'll be focusing on recessed lights, although you could install any other type of light fixtures using the same techniques to run the wire. Depending on your choice of fixture, lamp and trim, recessed lights can provide general illumination or accent lighting. In this story, we're installing a number of 4-in. diameter low-voltage fixtures that work best for providing accent lighting. These operate on regular household current but have built-in transformers to power the low-voltage halogen lamps. We'll show how to add a second switch to control a group of 5-in. diameter recessed lights designed to provide overall illumination.
Start with a drawing and end with lighting like this.
Planning ahead is the key to getting the lights in the right spot. Begin by measuring your room. Using graph paper, make a scale drawing in which 1/4 in. equals 1 ft. Sketch in the furniture arrangement and any wall-mounted feature you'd like to accent. Decide what you want to accomplish with the lights. For example, you may want to provide accent lighting for a favorite piece of art, add task lighting over your hobby area and improve the general room lighting.
Take your drawing to a lighting showroom for help with the design. A knowledgeable lighting salesperson will help you choose the right combination of recessed light housings, trims and lamps and help figure out the ideal locations on the ceiling. If you feel confident in your planning ability, buy the lights from a home center instead. You'll save a little money but have a smaller selection of fixtures to choose from. Make sure to obtain an electrical permit from your local building department and have the work inspected when you're done.
Saw a slot in the ceiling for access to the ceiling joists and top of the wall for wiring. Then lay out and cut holes for the recessed light housings.
Find an existing box to use as a power source and turn off the power to the outlet at the main electrical panel. Break it out and use the hole to fish a power cable to the new switch location.
Cut in the new switch box according to your plan (Figure A). Use a remodeling box that has built-in cable clamps. Don't mount the box until you've pulled in cables from the power and lights.
Drill through the top plate and the joists to create a route for the cables (see Figure A). Keep the holes centered on the plate and at least 2 in. from the top and bottom of the joists.
Reach through the recessed light holes to drill through joists that aren't accessible from the slot in the ceiling.
To power your new lights, find an existing receptacle or switch box that contains a "hot" wire on a suitable circuit. The National Electrical Code prohibits any connections to "dedicated" circuits such as 20-amp small-appliance circuits in kitchens or dining areas, 20-amp laundry room circuits and 20-amp bathroom circuits.
Also make sure the circuit you choose won't be overloaded by the additional lights. To determine this, first shut off the circuit in the main panel. Then go through the house turning on lights and other electrical items to find what is already on the circuit. Add up the wattage of everything that doesn't go on. Add to this total the wattage of the lights you'll be installing. We recommend a maximum connected load of 1,440 watts for a 15-amp circuit and 1,920 for a 20-amp circuit. (The amps are printed on the circuit breaker or fuse.) If the total amperage exceeds these amounts, you'll have to find a new circuit.
Try to find a power source for your new switch that's convenient to fish wires from, preferably in the same wall (in either the same room or the room opposite, or a basement or attic). After you've chosen the electrical box to tie in to, turn off the circuit breaker or unscrew the fuse that controls the circuit. Some electrical boxes contain more than one circuit. Before doing any work in the box, test all the wires with a non-contact voltage tester to make sure they're "dead."
To figure the minimum box size required by the National Electrical Code, add: 1 for each hot and neutral wire entering the box, 1 for all the ground wires combined, 1 for all the clamps combined, and 2 for each device (switch or receptacle, but usually not light fixtures) installed in the box. Multiply this figure by 2 for 14-gauge wire and 2.25 for 12-gauge wire to get the minimum box volume in cubic inches. Plastic boxes have the volume stamped inside.
If you have aluminum wiring, call in a licensed pro who is certified to work with it. This wiring is dull gray, not the dull orange that's characteristic of copper.
Drop a weighted string down through the hole in the top plate and tape the end of the cable to it. Pull the cable up and route it over to the switch hole.
Whether you choose a switch or outlet to provide power, replace the existing electrical box with a new one. Photo 2 shows how. With the old box out of the way, you'll be able to use the hole to fish in the new cable (Photo 6). Then determine the box size required (see "Calculating Box Sizes" at the end of this article) and install a new remodeling box that's large enough to safely hold all the wires (Photo 11). We used a 20-cu.-in. plastic box. Make sure the new box has built-in cable clamps.
If you have aluminum wiring, call in a licensed pro who is certified to work with it. This wiring is dull gray, not the dull orange that's characteristic of copper.
You'll have to cut holes in the ceiling for the recessed light housings.
Now that you've located a source of power and have a plan showing your recessed light and switch locations, it's time to figure out how you'll run the cables. Start by locating the ceiling framing members (joists) with a stud finder and determining which direction they run. They're usually spaced 16 in. or 24 in. on center. Sketch the joist locations onto your lighting plan. Now draw in the cable route. We installed a standard recessed light housing in the slot where we had access to the ceiling framing. In other areas, we installed remodeling housings that mount in a hole cut in the drywall.
Figure A shows how we ran the cables for our lights. Make sure the junction boxes on the remodeling housings are listed for "through branch circuit wiring" so you can run at least one cable in and one out to the next fixture. Check the labeling on the housing to be sure. Some recessed light junction boxes allow more than two cables.
If you don't have access to the joist spaces from the attic, remove a 12-to 16-in.wide piece of drywall from the ceiling (Photo 1). Cut the slot perpendicular to the joists about 6 in. out from the wall and make it long enough to include all the joist spaces that will contain a recessed fixture and the power source. Ideally, the opening will be in line with the switch and power source so you can use it to drill down through the top plate (Photo 4). If not, you may have to cut another opening.Before you cut any holes, make a small hole and measure the depth of the joists to make sure your recessed light housings will fit. Most housings require about 7 in. Look through the slot with a flashlight to check each joist space for obstructions. Then measure and mark the center of each recessed light according to your plan, adjusting the position as needed to avoid joists and other obstacles. Finally, mark and cut the holes for the housings (Photo 1).
Some insulating materials, ceiling spray textures, plaster and joint compounds made before 1979 contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos can cause cancer and other health problems. Call your local health department for information on testing for asbestos.
To run cables through difficult areas, tape them to a metal fish tape and pull them back through joist spaces. o run cables through difficult areas, tape them to a metal fish tape and pull them back through joist spaces.
Nail up standard "new work" housings in open ceilings. Use the junction box on this low-voltage fixture to connect wires leading to other low voltage fixtures.
Wire remodeling housings before you slide them into the ceiling. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for wiring the fixture and mounting the box.
Push the power and switch cables into the remodeling box and label them. Then slide the box into the opening and tighten the screws to secure it. Connect the wires according to Figure B.
Install a new remodeling box at the old outlet location. Connect the new wires to the power source, then reconnect the outlet.
Call for an electrical inspection, then patch and paint the ceiling. Finish up by installing the trims and lamps according to your plan.
Select cable according to the circuit rating—14-gauge for 15-amp and 12-gauge for 20-amp. Photos 4 – 7 show methods of drilling and fishing the plastic sheathed cable.
Here are a few tips:
When you're through running cables, make final connections at the lights, switch and receptacle (Photos 8 and 11 and Figure B) and install the remodel housings in the ceiling (Photo 9). If you're using low-voltage lights like ours and want to dim them, install a special magnetic dimmer. Replace the ceiling drywall and patch the ceiling after the electrical inspector has approved the work. Then paint the ceiling and finally install the recessed light trim and lamps (Photo 12). Follow the instructions included with your recessed light for exact installation procedures.
A recessed light assembly consists of the housing (Photos 8 and 9), trim (Photo 12) and lamp. Labels inside the housing list the compatible trim styles and lamps for each. Deviating from the specifications can cause inefficient lighting, and more important, dangerous overheating.
Home centers stock a selection of basic housings and trim that cost from $20 to $40 depending on style. You'll have to special-order less-common lights like the 4-in. low-voltage fixtures we're using. Lighting showrooms usually have a wider selection and salespeople who can help you design your lighting and order the fixtures. Manufacturers' catalogs are another great source of information, including a complete list of housings, trim styles and lamps as well as design tips and technical information.
For open framing, buy standard housings that include mounting brackets (Photo 8). If you're fishing wires into an existing ceiling, buy remodeling housings (Photo 9). Make sure to buy IC (insulation contact) rated housings if your recessed lights will be covered with insulation. Non-IC housings require a 1/2-in. minimum separation from combustible material and a 3-in. minimum separation from thermal insulation. For extra energy efficiency in insulated ceilings, look for airtight housings. Low-voltage housings operate on standard 115-volt wiring but have built-in transformers that allow the use of small 12-volt MR-16 lamps.
The quality of light and the ability to precisely focus the beam by changing lamp types or trim styles make low-voltage recessed lights especially useful for accent lighting. The trade-off is higher price. Including housing, trim and lamp, the average cost of each fixture is about $100.

The king gives you his sword, GrimThwacker. He also gives you some land, which unfortunately is infested by the Horde. Who are the Horde? Well, they are red, and bouncy, and will try and eat everything in your new land including crops, livestock, villagers and you.
The game has two phases. First there is a strategy phase: two minutes, real time. During this time you must build walls, dig pits, plant trees, move cattle around, and generally prepare for the Horde. Unfortunately all of these things cost money. Use your two minutes wisely, because when they are done, the Horde attacks!
In this second phase of the game, you must defend your village from the rushing Horde. You must run around, swinging the much-too-heavy GrimThwacker in all directions. In later rounds you will be able to hire helpers. On the down side: the Hordlings are fast, on the up side: they pop like over-ripe tomatoes when you hit them. If you and your village survive the round, you can go on to the next.
Then there's the money. It's pretty simple: a successful village makes money. Let the horde get too much stuff and you'll fall behind and you won't be able to pay your taxes. Did I mention the taxes? The king also has an Evil High Chancellor (of course). This charming fellow seems to have it in for Chauncy. But his delightful smile when he raises taxes makes it all worth it.
The graphics and sound are fairly average, but the game isn't centered around them. The FMV is actually entertaining. Especially when it pops up in the middle of play to report odd happenings in the kingdom. Unfortunately the game play is kind of average also. The controls are often awkward. The best laid strategies and the best fighting skills are too easily waylaid by bad luck (stupid, capricious Fate!).
This game is fun, but very difficult, and can be frustrating at times because you can only save the game every four rounds (once each year). The best part is that The Horde is a game unlike any other. If Crystal Dynamics can refine this new style of game to be more playable, it could easily get our highest rating.
Tired of platforms, shooters, racers and fighting games? The Horde has a lot to offer and can even be fairly addictive.

I searched for the answer, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for...sorry if it's been asked and answered.
I currently have 2 deeps full of brood, pollen, etc...and 2 medium honey supers, 1 of which is nearly full. Should I inspect the brood boxes to see if they have enough room? And what's enough room....2 or 3 drawn but open frames for her to lay in? If 'crowded', should I slap on another medium for the brood?
This is my second year and they were fine in 2 deeps last year over winter, but I don't want to overcrowd them if I can help it nor do I want to give them too much space for winter.

I recently had some huge issues with my bank trying to make an order. Naps was very patient and helpful in figuring out the problem (on my end not theirs!) and I couldn't be happier. I see some people saying they have issues but I have had 2 great experiences with them. Just wanted to throw that out there, I had been waiting since mid December for this and harassing them in tickets/chat since then as well and now finally it's sorted out but they have been completely great about it.
As far as experience goes, in my last order from them I got:
GP Sust 270 (Sustanon)
GP Clen (clenbuterol)
GP Clomiphene (Clomid)
Brand HCG Inj 5000iu
I purposely bought different things (steroid, pct, fat burner, mid cycle pct) so I could gauge the effectiveness of each and they all did great. Very happy with them and making another order soon now that I have figured out my problem finally.
