The Canadiens announced on Monday morning that goaltender Carey Price is the Molson Cup Player of the Year for the 2012-13 season based on three-star voting by fans. Rookie forward Alex Galchenyuk is the Molson Cup recipient for the April segment of three-star voting.
Price, who was the Canadiens' player of the month in February, finished ahead of Brendan Gallagher and Galchenyuk. The netminder played 39 games during the regular season, for a career total of 310, ranking him eighth on the Canadiens' all-time list for most games played by a goaltender.
Price finished the regular season with a 21-13-4 record with a 2.59 goals-against average and .905 save percentage. He recorded three shutouts this season, giving him 19 for his career to rank ninth in team history.
Price was voted one of the three stars 15 times this season by fans. He was the first star four times, second star six times and third star five times. Gallagher was selected as a star 13 times (4-5-4) and Galchenyuk was a star eight times (5-1-2).
Price was on the ice with his teammates Monday morning in Brossard as the Canadiens held their first practice since learning they will face the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs, with Game 1 slated for Thursday night at the Bell Centre and Game 2 on Friday.
"It's going to be a hard-nosed series … and a tight-checking game," coach Michel Therrien said after the 50-minute practice. "That's how we've had success."
The Canadiens had a 2-1-1 record against the Senators this season and this will mark the first playoff meeting between the teams since the Senators returned to the NHL in 1992.
"Rivalries are born in the playoffs," Therrien said. "There's about to be one with the Senators and I'm happy to be a part of it."
Therrien said he was confident heading into the playoffs and liked the way Price played in his last two games, saying "he's our best player."
The coach added that he appreciates having three days of practice before Game 1, but noted it's the same for both teams.
The lines at Monday's practice were: Gallagher-Eller-Galchenyuk; Prust-White-Moen; Desharnais-Bourque-Pacioretty; Gionta-Plekanec-Ryder; Halpern-Armstrong.
Defence pairings were: Gorges-Diaz; Markov-Subban; Bouillon-Tinordi; Kaberle-Weber.
Michael Blunden and Gabriel Dumont weren't on the ice with the rest of the Canadiens but were expected to practise separately with Greg Pateryn, Nathan Beaulieu, Michael Bournival, Petteri Nokelainen, Dustin Tokarski, Robert Mayer and Louis Leblanc, who were all called up from the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Hey Everyone,
My name is Rob and I live in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.
I have been interested in keeping bees since I was a child and saw a lecture on beekeeping and the amazing environmental impact they have. I know that the UK honey bee population is dwindling and seeing as now I have the space and time I thought it would be a perfect time to get to work on realising my dream of keeping bees.
I have been speaking to the local chair of the Yorkshire Bee-keepers Association and he has been extremely helpful in my initial questions and sent me a copy of Beekeeping for Dummies which I must say is a very informative book.
After speaking with my mentor I have decided that I am going to (with the help of a friend) build my own National hive to begin with.
I have a very large garden which is abundant with wild flowers throughout most of the year and feel it would be perfect for bees.
So anyway, HI and I hope to be keeping in touch with you all throughout the process of becoming a fully fledged beekeeper.

This article, entitled Never Wash Your Jeans…What Do You Think? comes from partner site 719woman.com.
Levi's CEO Chip Bergh recently said he had on a pair of denim jeans that were a year old and that they had never been washed, while attending Fortune's Brainstorm Green conference in Laguna Niguel, California.
He went on to say you should very seldom machine wash denim, which can break down fibers, fade colors and that less washing equals greater environmental sustainability. Instead, he recommends spot cleaning with a sponge or toothbrush with a bit of detergent and air drying.
For some, this brought an immediate "ick" response. Never wash your jeans? But what about odors, germs and dirt?
According to reviewed.com, water itself will wash away your denim's dye over time and soap will hasten the process. They suggest you try soaking your jeans in cold water and vinegar instead of washing them. To do, add 1 cup distilled white vinegar to a cold water bath and soak jeans for about an hour. Then hang or lay flat to dry. (The vinegar odor dissipates when dried.) If that's too much trouble to go to, they say you can also toss the jeans in the washer with 1 cup vinegar and to use the hand-wash setting…but don't add detergent. But again, do this as seldom as possible. If the jeans just need a bit of freshening, they suggest you hang them in the bathroom while you shower.
I had read that freezing items like stuffed animals could kill dust mites but what about bacteria? According to the Mayo Clinic, freezing nonwashable items for 24 hours can kill dust mites and some bacteria but it won't remove allergens or all bacteria. Most bacteria must be heated for it to be removed. Bacteria is the prime cause of odor on your jeans but the bacteria won't hurt you. According to the Smithsonian, bacteria that sloughs off our skin causes odors. Bacteria transfers with the sloughed-off skin cells onto the denim, which can then cause odor.
Besides the water and vinegar method of cleaning your jeans, a few other suggestions…
Or, as Mr. Bergh does, simply don't wash them.
The dryer is not good for your jeans either. The heat shrinks denim and tumbling leads to unnecessary wear and tear. On nice days, hang your jeans outside. Now some stretch jeans lose their shape after you wear them a couple of times so if you do want a bit of shrinkage, put them in the dryer on the lowest setting. Turn them inside out which will cut down on the friction to the outside of the fabric.
Of course all of these methods are for jeans you've worn under "normal conditions." If you're gardening or fishing and then gutting those fish in your denim, chances are they are going to not only smell, but be really dirty and need a washing machine. And if you're doing those kind of activities in "those" pair of jeans, chances are they aren't your "good" jeans so it may not be as important to keeping them looking good. (I personally buy my "gardening & work" jeans at the thrift stores, knowing I'm going to abuse them.)
So, what do you think about not washing your jeans? How often do you launder them if you do? Have any cleaning tips to share? And would you ever go a year without tossing those jeans in a washing machine?


text: Late this summer, I worked on replacing my idler and pitman arms on my Suburban. At the time I should have gone ahead and replaced my steering box, but I didn't think it was as worn. It wasn't until after I had the new pitman, idler installed and had a new alignment that I realized the gear box is way too loose. I've played with the adjustment settings, but the rig still just wanders too much. I really didn't want to get back under my rig now that fall is here (working in the rain). I got a quote for around $900? (around $500 for the part) which leaves the service cost around $400. Is this reasonable? I'm considering ordering the part seperately which will save me a little. I still don't want to do it, but if it will save me $400 I think I probably will suffer working in the rain.

This WILL "make my day". Clint Eastwood to speak to RNC tonight
Original post made by stinky, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Aug 30, 2012
The unofficial consensus is firming up. The speaker will be none other than Dirty Harry himself, Clint Eastwood

After this build-up, if it isn't him, it had better be hologram Ronald Reagan!

I've always been a big fan of Clint Eastwood. I would have to agree with what Ann Romney said about his performance. It was "unique".

If you were back east, you could go to the local tavern and pick up free tickets to Obama's counterpart speech next week.
Not sure that giving freebies to drunks in Georgia and telling them to drive themselves to No Carolina is the way to go. Desperation to fill seats?

I am (although slightly tarnished now)a Clint fan. I know his politics were on the right side, more of a libertarian . However, his speech was inappropriate.
Personally, I don't think much of an entertainer that pushes his/her politics. This includes Chuck Norris and Barbra Streisand. Raising awareness for environmental issues and the sort is one thing, but Clint's uncouth speech is another.

on Sep 1, 2012 at 12:55 pm
I have been and still am a Clint Eastwood fan, but there is no denying that the other night's speech was not his best performance. I'm more upset with Romney's campaign staff for putting Eastwood up on the stage like that without going over his speech in advance or at least getting Eastwood to outline his speech to them. They did both Clint Eastwood and themselves a great disservice.
James Lipton had some insightful comments on Eastwood's speech:

Well let's see, he is 82 years old, he looked a bit crumpled and sounded a little bit the same. I will give him a break for some of the stumbling because it didn't seem as if it was a rehearsed bit. Point of it all is, Obama was indeed sitting in that chair on the stage. It's just that everybody see's right through him.

Thanks for all that responded with my package install questions. Installed the ladies monday and i am hoping so much that they like their homes and stay around. Here is my question:
The pail feeders i made have very tiny holes - syrup doesn't well out and hang in a droplet like the cans from the packages - even though those holes look the same size or smaller. it did drip/pour out until a vacuum was created. i have other lids with slightly larger holes from 1/16" drill bit. the pails are still just about full from monday - im worried they are not taking the syrup/cant get at it.
i dont understand if they can reach in with their probiscus and access? i ended up placing over hole in inner cover with twigs elevating, although the lip of the bucket lid raises the bucket about 3/8" from inner cover but would seal off hole without the twigs. with them, there is a space greater than 3/8" between pail lid and inner cover. should i remove them? should i use other lids with larger holes? should i emergency feed dry sugar moistened? i know they can take a quart of syrup a day when they are drawing comb but does this happen the first couple day? Im worried about them. eep!
There is activity (orientation i hope) as it is warm today.
Thanks very much,

Talking Peace To Ethiopian LawmakersThu, 2007, Afar, Ethiopia
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar became the first spiritual leader to address the Ethiopian House of Peoples' Representatives. H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's two-day visit to Ethiopia was part of his global campaign for a "Stress-Free, Violence-Free World".
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar called upon members of the Ethiopian Parliament to work toward a "stress-free violence-free Ethiopia". The Ethiopian government also felicitated H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for his humanitarian work across the world.
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's tour included meetings with several national leaders including Girma Wolde Giorgis (President of Ethiopia), Shetaye Menale (Deputy Speaker of the House), Princess Mariam Senna Asfa Wossen (Founder and CEO of Addis Wubet), Degife Bulla (Speaker of the House of Federation), and Berhanu Deressa (Mayor of Addis Ababa).
He also met with the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council (represented by its vice-president Sheikh Elias Redman), and His Holiness Abune Paulos (Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church).
Bringing Human Values,Ethics In BusinessTue, 2007, European Parliament,
Brussels, Belgium
Thirty-four prominent world leaders, and over 200 participants, including corporate executives, scientists, and spiritual leaders, gathered in the European Parliament to discuss the urgent need for strengthening human values, and ethics in business worldwide.
The program was part of the International Business & Leadership Symposium, a forum initiated by H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. At the forefront of the discussion was the topical issue of sustainability in the environment, and climate change.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the director of International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC ) which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Price, and former Prime Minister of Poland, Prof Jerzey Buzek were among the speakers along with former prime minister of the Netherlands, and co-founder of The Earth Charter Prof Ruud Lubbers, and former prime minister of Luxemburg Jacques Santer.
Promoting Dialog For Social Harmony NandigramTue, 2007, Nandigram, West Bengal, India
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar visited Nandigram to heal the wounds, and scars of the people following a protracted political feud in the area. After meeting hundreds of victims, H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar called for dialogs to end the conflict.
"As the conflict is highly politicized, political parties will not be able to resolve it. NGOs and spiritual organizations have to play the role of peacemakers. What is needed is conflict resolution through dialog," he said.
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar also offered to mediate between the opposing groups to end the ongoing clashes. H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar went around Nandigram and interacted with the victims in different localities. He traveled seven kilometers on foot to reach out to people in an area where there were no concrete roads.
Breath Of Life For Suicide-Prone Farmers VidarbhaSun, 2007, India
Nearly 200,000 farmers from six suicide-prone districts of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, India gathered at Yavatmal to seek solace from H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
He was on a two-day visit to the Vidarabha region to interact with the farmers directly. Many farmers came out of depression, and suicidal tendencies, after a comprehensive program was launched by the Art of Living.
Stressing the need for adopting natural, zero-budget farming, H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said, "Excessive use of chemicals has poisoned soil, and is hurting yields. Grow alternative crops. If you are reaping only losses in cotton cultivation, grow groundnuts, or vegetables which fetch you more income."
Standing Up And Speaking Out Against PovertyWed, 2007, Art of Living International Center.,

H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar led thousands of people from all walks of life in raising their voice against poverty, and taking a pledge to eradicate it at an event held at the Art of Living International Center.
As part of the global initiative with United Nations Millennium Campaign (UNMC), the Art of Living mobilized over seven million people across the world to take part in the Stand Up and Speak Out campaign against poverty.
In Bangalore, thousands from different parts of the world stood up, and took a pledge to help realize the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by UNMC.
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar urged those present to be a source of light to those in darkness, and help them stand on their own feet. "To eradicate poverty, we need two things: instill self esteem in people, and bring sincerity on the part of the government. Both need to go together," he added.
Standing Up For Child RightsSun, 2007, Delhi, India
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar unveiled the 'Universal Declaration of Child Protection' to further the cause of child rights and protection.

Taking The Message Of Peace And Non-Violence To IraqWed, 2007, Baghdad, Iraq
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar visited Iraq on a three-day peace mission at the invitation of Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki. It was for the first time that an Indian spiritual leader was invited to the war-torn country on a peace mission.
During the visit, H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar urged Iraqi leaders to give non-violence a chance. He met with a wide spectrum of Iraqi society including senior political figures, Shiite leaders, tribal heads, representatives of humanitarian organizations, women, soldiers, and youth.
The Prime Minister requested H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to expand the Art of Living programs to more parts of Iraq, including the prisons. Following the visit, the Iraqi government sent 55 youth to the Art of Living international center to attend a month-long training. As a result, Iraq now has many more angles for peace.
Global Pledge For Human ValuesSat, 2007, Art of Living International Center,
Bangalore, Karnataka, India
In a historic initiative, H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar led a large gathering of over 40,000 people to take a global pledge to nurture human values in all spheres of life.
The event was part of a global event in which millions across the globe took the pledge to work in their communities, their schools, and in their homes to foster a sense of brotherhood, friendliness, compassion, and commitment to serving humanity, and this planet.
Solace To People In The Red Zones Of The ValleyWed, 2007, Sheri Kashmir International Conference Center
Jammu and Kashmir, India
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar took his message of peace, and human values to the red zones of Jammu and Kashmir during his three-day visit to the Valley. He addressed a seminar on peace, and human values at the Sheri Kashmir International Conference Center on the banks of Dal Lake.
"While we must continue to preserve our cultural values, we will also have to modernize, in order to keep pace with the fast developing world," he said. In an effort to unite people of different faiths, he visited the Shariqa Devi temple, and Sheikh Hamza Mukhdoom's shrine in downtown Srinagar.
He also visited the famous Sikh temple of Chatti Padshahi. H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar inaugurated a middle school for young victims of militancy, and orphans from the 2004 earthquake. The school has been adopted by the Art of Living.
H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar interacted with inmates of the high-security Kothalwal Jail in Jammu, where 300 foreign, and local militants are also incarcerated. Promising to give up their violent past, and work for social progress, many of them shared their experience of the Art of Living Prison program.
One inmate shared: "We supported militancy, and suffered a lot. We now really realize that if we had educated them (the militants), we would not have suffered so much. Thanks to H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, we now have the tools to transform Kashmir and bring back peace."

Caldwell and Honnold Rip it Up in Zion
"All free in 16 hours with Mr. Honnold," wrote Caldwell on Facebook. "What a great day."
Caldwell and Honnold's massive day of Zion free climbing checks in with approximately 35 pitches of sustained sandstone pulling, with the crux of the entire day being the 5.13b pitches of both the Touchstone Wall and Sheer Lunacy. Each route, however, demanded some strenuous climbing. The day's "warm-up" -- Sheer Lunacy -- involves roughly 1,000 feet of climbing with a crux pitch of 5.13b, which Honnold describes as "maybe the hardest pitch of the day." Their next route, Moonlight Buttress, was the pair's "most moderate" route according to Honnold and includes around 1000 feet of sustained desert-style crack climbing, with pitches 5 through 10 all being graded 5.12, and the crux (6th pitch) going at 5.12d -- though Honnold suggests that it's more likely 5.12c "all buffed out and chalky." It's also worth noting that Honnold free-soloed Moonlight Buttress in 2008.
After Moonlight Buttress, Honnold and Caldwell cruised up the 900-foot Touchstone Wall, which is less sustained but holds a solid 5.13b second pitch. Finally, Caldwell and Honnold finished with a jaunt up Spaceshot, which is an 8-pitch, 800-foot big-wall tour that involves some moderate climbing but still has two 5.12 pitches and a 5.11+ offwidth pitch. "It was pretty tough in the dark," says Honnold. In case you're keeping track, the duo's extraordinary day ended after approximately 3,700 feet of free climbing.
According to Caldwell via his Facebook page, the day "left his fingers pretty swollen." But this is not the first time Honnold and Caldwell have teamed up for a big-wall extravaganza that leaves them tired and everyone else's jaws dropped. In May of 2012, the pair teamed up for a blazing link-up of Yosemite's El Capitan, Half Dome, and Mount Watkins, which they completed in roughly 21 hours. Though their Yosemite link-up took about five hours longer than their Zion excursion, the total feet of free climbing during their Yosemite link-up comes to about 7,500-feet of vertical granite.

If your frame rest is 5/8" deep, and the pin from the side board is 3/4", you should have no problem.
Second, reverse how the fingers and notches are cut in comparison tot he PDF you find on this group. The top of each side becomes a finger rather than a notch. the top of each end becomes a notch. You can then cut the rabbit end to end and when assembled that top finger closes the end of the rabbit.

I use the same dado set that makes the box joints to make the frame rest. The same dado also makes the side groove in the bottom board, and the rabbet around the board that makes the top, if you are using metal covered tops. A good dado set does a lot.
They're just plans, so do what suits you.
Regards, Barry
Daniel Y... Barry...Let me see if I understand what you are saying. If you make the top sides a finger, and the top of front/rear a valley wouldn't that make the sides weaker since you would be nailing the side into a 3/8 piece of wood, (front and rear minus the rabbet), vrs nailing from the front/rear into the side which is 3/4.
That's correct Cleo. You want the full top finger to be on the front and back pieces, not the sides.
Regards, Barry
Barry..Didn't we have this same discussion last Winter when someone posted that Kelly was changing their box joints to the front/back valley and the sides with fingers.
I am editing this post. I found the photo of where I made a nuc last Winter, using the front/valley, sides/fingers concept.

Now I am missing something because if the wood joint is solid (laminated) all the way from the top to the bottom why would one way of cutting fingers be any weaker than the other? Your still prying on solid wood correct?
I may have to see if I can get that jig on sale. If it is 42 lbs the shipping may hurt.
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
minz..It all has to do with the top joint. The point where most people pry apart boxes. On the front/finger joint you are nailing/gluing a 3/8 thinckness into 3/4 inch of wood, (the half cut on the side). On the front/valley joint you are nailing from the 3/4 side into a 3/8 inch of wood (because the rabbet has been cut away from the front. I don't recommend prying apart boxes by prying from the end, rather pry from solid wood along the edge, whichever joint system you use.
Look at the photo above, you will notice I had to use a # 4 nail because it is going into a 3/8 thickness at the top. If everyone did their prying along the sides, it would not make much difference. But, if you pry from the end, you are prying against 3/8 inch vrs 3/4 inch. Hope this has been confusing enough. If not I can try again. HA!!
You can nail the top finger from the top edge of the box downward without loosing any material for it to bite into. I pin all 8 corners of my boxes this way. pre drilling helps with keeping the wood from splitting but you should be doing that anyway. You can also somewhat toe nail the finger from the side. just angle the nail downward so it is driven in below the frame rest. I prefer from the top down method myself.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
That's true. I normally try to pry the outside frame loose by using the 2d frame and pry from the middle, rather than against the side of the box.

"You just might be a beekeeper" is the tag line. It comes after whatever characteristic you illustrate in the first part. It's funnier when it's in the right order.
If you go to work in a suit which zips up the front and has a hood, (pause) you just might be a beekeeper. See how that works?
If you have curlers in your hair and wear a Stihl chainsaw mask etc etc, you just might be a lady beekeeper.

If in the springtime you notice all those dandelions in your yard and the neighbors yard and wish there were more......you just might be a beekeeper!
p.s. Thank you, Roger. Very kind of you. May your bees be extra productive this coming year!
If you drive a Honey Wagon but it doesn't have a big tank w/ a cleanout hose attatched to it, you just might be a beekeeper.

You climb thirty or so feet up a tree with a fifteen foot pole with a bucket three times to catch a later August swarm ...you might be a keeper.

If you rip out existing landscape in your backyard to plant landscape to attract bees, you might be a beekeeper.
If you tell your neighbors that you brought five hives home just to watch them freak out, you might be a beekeeper.
If a coworker tells you that a bee is on your shoulder and you just smile, you might be a beekeeper.
If you see bees working some plants in your back yard and you rush to get the bottle of honey to attempt to hand feed them, you might be a beekeeper.
If you come home and your wife (who is afraid of bees) tells you that she scooped a couple LIVE bees out of the pool with the pool net and saved their life, you must be a beekeeper.
If you have to second guess about letting your kids use some scrap wood to build something because you KNOW you might need it to build somemore bee equipment, you might be a beekeeper.
If you take your break at work and drag your coworker over to an area you know has bee hives just so you can watch them for a bit, you might be a beekeeper.

Local Culture
From Waterfront Park's inviting promenade to the shops and sidewalks of Bay Street, Beaufort's community pride is celebrated nearly every month with events such as holiday parades (one for boats, one for street floats) and the 10-day Water Festival in July. Festival or not, the water exerts an irresistible, year-round pull, for everything from fishing and sailing to kayaking and paddleboarding.
The abundance of shoreline means many homes are close to the water. Houses with deepwater docks often fetch seven-figure prices. There's a diverse mix of housing, from renovated historic homes and new condos around town to fixer-uppers, remodeled properties, and just-built waterfront bungalows on nearby islands (among them Lady's, Dataw, Fripp, and Cat).

I truly don't understand why people are so intense on tearing down a, young woman that I DOES have talent! I really feel for her.

Will you apply the same judgement to Shailene Woodley, Jennifer Lawrence and RP, getting tired of KS? She is a different kind of actress , so natural and doesn't have to look like she is going to a cocktail party or red carpet event every time she goes somewhere. As far as the fragrance compromise you referenced, I would bet that Rob P. did not use Dior before doing all the porno to sell the fragrance and I bet he still does not use it. No celebrity will advertise any product or use it unless they are paid for using their name and influence. Frankly, she is only seen when the paps are following her around and I can promise you that she does not like controversy and she is not trying to keep her "face out there". She doesn't need to. I hope only the best for her!

Her immaturity causes her to say stupid things such as "I can't wait for something horrible to happen to me." Now "I want to shave my head before I die" Even if you think it, so what, just don't say it out loud as it sounds crazy especially if you are KS and people are just looking for things to criticize you for. Why don't her people coach her into becoming more "Socially acceptable" And don't say the crap about her being a free spirit, she compromised herself with the Balenciaga and Dior contracts because we all know she would never use their products unless she was paid to. Maybe she thrives on controversy, it is one way to keep your face out front. Hmmmmm.
Posted at 1:45 PM on March 25, 2014
The only important thing is that she's happy and confident and why should she care what you think. Tell me did Rob get paid 12 million dollars to wear Dior. I never heard of her getting a Dior deal? Stick that hmmmmmm up your whatever and check your facts. Ad campaigns are one of the perks of being an actor. Believe me she wouldn't be representing Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel if they didn't want her. When you criticize her you criticize all other actors who do the same thing. So grow up and once again check your facts. Why didn't you criticize Rob for shamelessly stumping for Dior?

Seriously, though, why is this such a big deal? The Joe Biden f-bomb is barely audible. What happened is that Biden introduced Obama, and said "this is a big f*cking deal," into Obama's ear. It's not like he shouted the f-bomb or anything?
At any rate, listen very carefully to the Joe Biden f-bomb video and as he hugs Obama, you can barely hear it. A big uproar over nothing really, though Biden is known to be a victim of foot-in-mouth disease.

John Key admitted yesterday that he won an office sweepstake on the Supreme Court decision.
He bet that all five judges would find unanimously for the Crown and he was right.
In making the admission at the end of a press conference at Parliament, he was exercising bragger's rights, and will no doubt attract some criticism for treating a matter of such importance as though it were the Melbourne Cup.
But no one has has treated the case lightly, least of all the Prime Minister.
With its flagship asset-sales policy on the line, the credibility of the Government was at stake. A five-nil decision against it, and with no Plan B, would have plunged the Government into crisis.
The credibility of the Supreme Court was also at stake and it would not be stretching it to say the decision could impact on the appetite for constitutional reform, which is the subject of a current review.
It is easy for John Key to sound confident in hindsight. In reality it was hope.
The decision was not certain from the outset. You needed to see the seriousness with which the court treated both of the country's top QCs, Colin Carruthers doing battle for the Maori Council and David Goddard for the Crown, to see that.
The Dame Sian Elias factor also made for greater uncertainty about the outcome. There were some misguided calls for her to step aside from the case because she had been counsel on the famous Lands case in 1987 which established in law that the Treaty of Waitangi was a partnership.
It was always expected she would lean towards the applicants' case - which at its extreme wanted the principles of the Treaty applied to all law, whether the Treaty was mentioned in it or not.
The question was whether two of the other four could be persuaded.
In the end the five-nil decision sounds a more comprehensive victory than it probably was. It would not have been a good look for the Chief Justice to have delivered a minority decision.
The fact that the Maori Council won't be liable for any costs is probably her way of saying "this was not a waste of time and don't be discouraged from coming back".
The court decision said the Government was within the law but reminded it about its commitments to recognising Maori interests.
It is a judgment that effectively says to the Crown, "You've won this time but we're watching."

Sharing Your HIV Status
After you are diagnosed with HIV, you will have to decide whether to share that information with other people, and—if so—whom you should tell.
It is very important that you talk to your current and past sexual partners about your HIV status. If you have shared needles with others to inject drugs, you need to tell them too. If you are afraid or embarrassed to tell them yourself, the health department in your area can notify your sexual or needle-sharing partners that they may have been exposed to HIV without giving your name.
Disclosure can be a tough process, but you don't have to face it alone. Talk to your healthcare provider and ask for help in finding support groups or other individuals who can help you in the disclosure process.
Sharing your HIV status with those you trust—such as family members, friends, and children—can help with the stresses of having HIV, and can actually improve your overall health. Disclosing your status to your healthcare provider is important to make sure that you receive the best care for your HIV.
In most cases, sharing your HIV status is a personal choice—but it may also be a legal requirement. Many states have laws that require you to tell specific people about your HIV status. For more information, see the American Civil Liberties Union's State Criminal Statutes on HIV Transmission .
Before you decide to tell people that you are HIV-positive, here are some things to consider:
- Think about the people you rely on for support, like family, friends, or coworkers.
- What kind of relationship do you have with these people? What are the pros and cons of telling them you are living with HIV?
- Are there particular issues a person might have that will affect how much he or she can support you?
- What is that person's attitude and knowledge about HIV?
- Why do you want to disclose to this person? What kind of support can this person provide?
- For each person you want to tell, ask yourself if the person needs to know now—or if it's better to wait.
For more information, see the Office on Women's Health's Revealing Your HIV Status.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to tell anyone about having HIV?
While the specifics and penalties of HIV disclosure laws vary from state to state, most states require that all HIV-positive persons disclose their status to all past, present, and future sexual partners, as well as all attending medical professionals (doctors, dentists, etc.). The local health department can assist in telling your former sexual partners or others who may have been exposed to HIV through you.

The NFL is still eyeing a return to Mexico.

Arizona and San Francisco played the NFL's first regular-season game outside the United States in Mexico in 2005, followed two years later by a game in London between Miami and the New York Giants.

More trips to London have followed. On Friday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Mexico remains on the league's radar screen, noting that ``it's good for the NFL.''

Goodell also says the NFL isn't choosing London over Mexico. He'd like to see games played in both cities, and later in his state-of-the-NFL session Friday, also called Japan and the Far East ``an important market'' for the league.
Good ol Goodell

Re: Bebe Burp
Good concept and I like the execution of the surrounding elements. To me, however, the dragon's design does not fit with the other elements. There is also something odd about the neck shape, and the arms appear to not be connected. The shape of the burn where he's sitting is also a bit harsh and distracting.
Re: Friendly fire (resub)
Very appealing style and color choices. I would prefer to see less sky or no sky, and more of the animals. The way the cat is cut off seems unnecessary. This is still a wearable, fun design.
Re: The God of Fire

.............so I won't feel guilty taking this thread in a different direction.
My mother in law is living out her final day or days right now. When my wife brought me home the first time, I remember being taken by her passion for the Giants. It made my wife even more attractive to me. She is such a huge Eli Manning fan but never backed away from criticizing him or anyone who had a bad game.
I am going to miss her but will hold her love of the Giants and our family close to me forever.
Go Grandma!
Go Blue!!

It's too bad, I'm too good....
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I guess I've kinda adjusted to this one, but I never wanted to switch.
Love the search function though.
this board's fine, but I do miss the previous board emoticons.
can't get my sarcasm-on quite right.
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
I remember back in the day people kept getting banned left and right and it got so bad that someone made a website just for the Giants forums, but it died down after a few months.

I find myself thinking that a lot. Random people do slightly annoying inconvenient things and I automatically issue a mental warrant for their death.
I stopped by a fast food restaurant this week. The lady at the cash window let me set there for like 60 seconds. I could have understood if it was important or she was doing something work related but no she was having a giggly conversation with another employee. Of course rational thought would have suggested patience but with that no where to be found I really wanted her to fall out the f***ing window when she finally reached out to get my cash.
And that's just for minor annoyances. Something a little more severe and your entire family is in trouble. Bump my car door with yours and your entire family gets violated by mountain lions while you're tied up to watch... Note. Cats have spiked ****s.
Too much? Maybe but it makes it a little less annoying.
Anyone else do it?

REACH Ambassadors play an important role in making the R.E.A.C.H. program a success. Without their tireless devotion and volunteer hours, the program wouln't exisit. Ambassadors brave the heat and the cold to help collect, organize and ship equipment to needy youth all aroun the world. What's it like to be an ambassador? Here are just few quotes from several of our ambassadors:
"As a national ambassador for the R.E.A.C.H Program I have learned the true meaning of sharing. It has opened my eyes to the disparity between the abundance of gear in the United States and the lack of soccer equipment in third world countries. With the help of our club we have brought the joy of the game to children around the world. The R.E.A.C.H. Program has allowed children in our club to get involved with soccer around the world." -Danielle Foxhoven
"Soccer brings the people of the world together. Participation in REACH allows me to share my love of soccer with kids all over the world. Every REACH working day in the freezing storage unit makes me think about the kids who are not as fortunate as i am and the smiles they will have across their face when they receive the soccer jerseys, balls, cleats, and other equipment." -Jamie

It's possible to become a grandfather around your 25th. Just highly unlikely.
He's probably in his 40's, which seems plausible enough.
50's would work too, seeing how martial artists age much slower in anime.

start thinkin bout clones
I think oro is helping sasuke because he knows madara is just that evil. As he told the hokages, that "we" are at war and not "they" are at war. So it seems the evil main body oro might have been sealed and this oro is more nicer because part of him and his malice is locked away?
I would like to think oro now is just a guy who hated because passed up for 4th hokage and took it out on his old teacher and that crushing the leaf was just part of a bigger plan. I would like to think that because oro is still one of my favorite characters and while hes a villain i would like to see him take the android 17 route and just go off and do his own thing.

Minato probably remembers his conversation with Naruto within his mind but afterwards that energy dissipated. When he told the other Hokage he didn't know what was going on with the village and the world he meant since his last interaction with Naruto. That was a special moment in the series so it's unlikely that Kishimoto would let Minato forget that just because he split up his energy between Naruto's seal and the Death God. Also I think it's obvious that the Hokage are going to join the battle. They aren't just there to tell Sasuke stuff, they are going to help out and the Kyuubi will probably get back the rest of his chakra if he hasn't already.

Hashirama is living up to the hype pretty well. In fact, I feel that these chapters are all about fulfilling Hashirama's hype; having Hiruzen getting his knickers in a bunch and Tobirama acting impulsive and short-sighted while Hashirama shows the clarity and vision to see beneath the surface. Minato Sue is typically flawless (and as characterless as ever).
I hope that Madara will reconcile with Hashirama rather than just get destroyed.

The Senjuu, as already explained, were masters of all types of jutsus (nin, gen and tai), unlike the Uchiha who are jack-of-all-trades with deathbeam eyes. They were the ultimate renaissance ninja. Will they undoubtedly have some extra gimmick? Probably (my guess is extra potent/powerful nature manipulation, that would go along with Hashirama and Tobirama quite nicely). But, even if they do not, it is easy to see how a diverse clan of multiple mastered elements and techniques would be able to combat any singular clan who have only mastered a few (powerful) techniques.

BTW i wonder if Orochimaru will turn himself into a monster with 100 sharingan eyes in the end or will he remain like he is now, Sasuke counselor. I don't see how else could those hundreds of sharingan eyes be used if not to create some crazy ass monster that has the eyes and also Hashirama's cells, so possibly hundreds of rinnegan eyes. And now it's either Orochi or Madara+10-tails that could become such a monster.

yea i was always under the impression that the senju just had higher abilities, since tobirama's ability was the power to create so much water, which was apparently (at the time) ridiculously impressive
they could literally be amazing "forces of nature"
the other translation of this chapter i saw implies that hashirama has escaped orochimaru's control for quite some time now. considering the fact that it's hashirama's soul, in a basic clone of his body, the shodai should be extremely powerful.
i'm wondering if having the zetsus as their base will effect their power in any way.
Also, i think minato does remember his meeting with naruto, because he recognizes naruto's chakra, and i'm not sure how he would explain "i remember your chakra from when you were a baby"
do babies even have the ability to use chakra?

the senju may very well have or obviously have special chakra in their bodies/muscles much like the uchiha have in their brains...i feel like thats the gimmick. supercharged ability to manipulate chakra. i cant really explain it as eloquently as id like but the senju rival the uchiha cuz they hit harder/are tougher. madara summons susanoo, hashirama busts it open with the first rasengan (last panel)...just speculating

I thought it was rather amusing how everyone seemed to forget that Hashirama was the guy that beat Madara until he got a little annoyed and they all soiled themselves. I mean seriously the kage are like gum on that guys shoe, he's like edo tensei? yea thanks for bringing me back and all but you control nuthin!

Oro transfers to body full of Hashirama cells: gets extra power for controlling Zombies
Hashirama resurrected into body full of Hashirama cells: can use them to break control
3 others resurrected into body full of Hashirama cells: has no effect

Given that the Zetsu clones are from Hashirama's own cells, it makes sense that he would be powerful as he was originally. While Tobirama's cells are indeed Senjuu, they're still his brother's cells the host has and not his, so that would probably be why he couldn't break from Edo Tensei as easily as he thought.
Hashirama seems like a genuinely good guy, which explains why he was able to eventually reconcile with the Uchiha -- Tobirama must view his brother as simply naive.
I do like this idea though that Edo Tensei is more like a joke to Hashirama, after all Madara was able to manipulate it so he would be in charge. I suspect he was able to do this before but didn't bother as Kabuto gave him free reign from the onset.

madara says the danger in the edo tensei is summoning someone who knows the seal. i thing madara could have broke anytime...he just didnt because there was no need to rush into doings so since he wasnt aware of the likes of ninja like itachi...
but if this is true perhaps tobirama would have broken out by now so i dont really know

Well, either way, I understand that it's a simple matter of "knowing how to". And if Madara knows, there is a fair chance that Hashirama knows as well. Of course, that's where my question comes from. "Can he do it?"
Although somehow I doubt that situation will arise any time soon.
Also it seems Orochimaru's spell is stronger than Kabuto's version, since he was able to restrain Tobirama.
It also makes me wonder about the method that can be used to end Madara's undead life. If Itachi is correct, a method does exist.

However Madara was never forced by Kabuto to do anything, he was free to act from the beginning, so my guess is that if Madara wanted to he could have forced himself out of Kabuto's control.
Reading this chapter my impression was that Orochimaru confirmed that he simply can't control Hashirama at all, so Hashirama is the only one who broke out of the Edo Tensei (neither did Itachi break out, Shisui's eye simply layered a genjutsu on top of Kabuto's Edo tensei). So i think the author wanted to say with this that Hashirama was really the strongest ever, not counting the godlike sage of 6 paths of course. Of course that's the past, the rinnegan-Madara won't be as easy to beat when Hashirama joins the war, i guess it will take all 4 hokages and Naruto to take him down.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I agree with the EQ software! Great place to learn.
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
If you can't afford to purchase EQ new you may be able to find a used older copy for sale from someone that is upgrading. There is a Yahoo group where members post used sewing items for sale and you can also check here on the board in the sale items area. You can post an ISO (in search of) request and wait for someone to respond. I have found many items this way.
I started out with graph paper and colored pencils but find EQ so much faster and it does the fabric calculations for you. In addition you can rearrange and use different colors with just a few clicks. I sit and play with it during the evening while DH is watching TV.
Last edited by ncredbird; 01-17-2013 at 06:10 AM. Reason: mispelled word
I agree the best way to go is with software. A design program will do all the math for you, you can flip, rotate, resize, auto change colors, and use a fabric library of your own fabrics. Coloring and changing graph paper quilt designs can take a few hours for each change. A program like EQ can do it in seconds so your creativity can flow.
Got fabric?
Check used book stores for quilt books printed in the later 1970's and early 1980's. Many delt with the basics of designing blocks.
I had purchased the Quilt Design Wizard @ Jo-Ann's and used my 50% off coupon so it ran me $15.00. It's not nearly as elaborate as the EQ6/7 but it has enough basics and it helps me figure out measurements ...

I have just finished my first season with the bees, and I am hoping to design and build a THB over the winter. TBHs are not as common over here in the UK, so there is no standard set of dimensions. I would quite like the bars to be the same length as 'National' type frames (17"), so they are, if nescesary, interchangeable with my existing hives. Other than that I have no idea where to start, so could I have some ideas please.
- What is the best angle for the walls?
- Fixed or seperate floor?
- Entrance in end or side of hive?
- How much to allow for expansion of the timber?
- etc.
I think I might get quite a few conflicting opinions here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Slam Dunk in Downtown Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill University Inn • Chapel Hill, NC
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Up to Four People in a Standard Room
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
The Destination
Though part of North Carolina's Research Triangle, Chapel Hill is more interested in showing off its school colors than its considerable science chops. That's because the city plays host to the University of North Carolina and its tradition of academic excellence, bright students, and—most importantly—Tar Heel basketball. Downtown's Franklin Street turns Carolina Blue during March, but its fancy restaurants, dive bars, and eclectic boutiques cater to the youthful population all year round.
The Diversions
Much like your March basketball bracket, a vacation should consider all the fundamentals: stellar accommodations, competitive amenities, and a buzz-worthy atmosphere. That's just what you'll get at Chapel Hill University Inn, a sports-themed hotel near the heart of downtown Chapel Hill and Franklin Street. Combining traditional Southern hospitality with modern conveniences, this pet-friendly inn features free local shuttle service, complimentary wireless Internet, premium cable TV, and a lobby full of Tar Heel memorabilia.
"Chapel Hill is the smallest city in the Triangle, but it has arguably the biggest personality. This little city has never lost its quirky edge, thanks in no small part to its constant influx of young people."-- Read Fodor's Review of Chapel Hill

Any reports of white geese out at greenhead yet? Had some friends hunt out there a couple of weeks ago and mentioned they saw a couple of hundred snows fly by but were concentrating on quacks and didn't pay much attention. Big game season is over and now it's the time to hit the marsh.
Thanks, Highscrapper


text: About 2 weeks ago, I found one of my father's old hives had a colony of bees to move in. The hive has been dormant since my father passed about two years ago. When I first went to inspect the hive i found it had one 6 inch super, a queen excluder and a deep hive body. Upon taken the top cover off I found the super with old, fully drawn out comb, but no honey or anything stored. I figured I needed to remove this old super, so today I went back and removed it. All that is left is the top cover, inner top cover and hive body with 10 frames. I have not been able to inspect the deep hives frames but it sounded like a pretty good many bees fanning the smoke. What do I need to do now? Do I need to replace the old deep frames with new ones or let them continue to use these old ones? I also noticed what look like small roaches running around. Is this a problem and if so, what do I need to do about them as well? Thanks to all for any help with my new endeavors. I am a first year bee keeper.

Propane-powered patrol cars saving money
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The city of Kingsport says its choice to be green is saving taxpayers' money.
Instead of driving gas powered cars, some of the city's police cruisers are powered by propane.
Police have 13 of them, and are getting 10 more.
Back in 2009, the city got a grant that paid for the conversion of 12 police cruisers to propane.
Not long after that, another grant paid for the propane pump and the conversion of three city trucks.
Over the years, they've continued to add to the fleet.
The city says on average, they're saving about a dollar per gallon. "The number one concern is cost reduction as far as fuel consumption and the environmental impact the city fleet was leaving on the local region," says Steve Hightower, the city's fleet manager.
19 more propane-powered vehicles are on the way and expected to hit the road by October.

[Ed Note: ThePhoenix.com freelancer Rob Nelson is embedded at Cannes and will be filing reports all this week, provided he can stay out of jail, resist the urge to screw off into the south of France, and survive the Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull press conference. Stay tuned for daily updates from the front lines of cinematic ridiculosity.]
CANNES, FRANCE -- FYI: Casual sex ― or recreational sex, sport F-ing, whatever you wanna call it ― isn't the only thing for which Cannes is renowned and adored. Seems they show motion pictures in this debauched seaside paradise as well!
As per a recent Cannes press release: "Select media" (who, moi?) "[are] invited to join Cannes beauties and legendary French producer Alain Siritzky for announcement of new 50 million dollar feature film and kick off of worldwide search for the new Emmanuelle... Media who [sic] does [sic] not respond will be admitted depending on space and time limitations."
Monsieur! Lemme in!
The sense that nothing could be worse for impatiently queuing cineastes than not seeing (whereas for nymphos here it's kinky) has been made meta ― sorta ― by Blindness, a Julianne Moore-headlined pseudo-thriller wherein the titular malady spreads quicker than crabs on the Croisette. Emmanuelle aside, if there's anyone here who saw Blindness and thinks it's watchable, I don't know her--not carnally or any other way.
Directed by City of God auteur Fernando Meirelles, Blindness (which you can choose not to see come fall) seems to have been booked for l'ouverture because it's a Big Metaphor Movie about all that's hidden in plain sight these days ― good movies included. In the dull, dour film's one funny moment, Gael García Bernal's blind-leading blind thug croons a Stevie Wonder song (get it?) over an Abu Ghraibesque compound's intercom. Soon thereafter, women, as in the novel on which the Blindness flick is based, are forced to become whores for food. (Metaphor? Don't ask me...) Because Blindness is an apocalypse-now movie for people who don't like horror or sci-fi or war films (or whatever generic bastard Children of Men was, either), it's therefore a melodrama ― which in turn means that the Moore character's doctor hubby (Mark Ruffalo) spends the last few scenes whispering sweet nadas a la "I miss you ― I miss you so much." Yeah yeah, Mumbleman, love is blind, but here you wish it could be dumb ― not stupid, but dumb.

Advantages of New Laser-Scanning Technology
Here's why many of today's manufacturers are considering retrofitting CMMs and articulated measuring arms with the latest laser scanners.
Nikon Metrology's entry-level MMCx80 ModelMaker scanner offers an 80-mm stripe width and gathers 800 measurement points per stripe.
Laser-scanning technology has advanced in recent years, and more manufacturers are considering retrofitting CMMs or articulated measuring arms with affordable, new laser scanners. Alex Lucas, business development manager/scanning products for Nikon Metrology Inc., says the latest laser scanning and software technology offer numerous advantages, such as larger measurement coverage, higher speed, offline reporting, quick retrofits, automation capability and scanning without part re-orientation.
To learn more, read this article, which fleshes out these advantages and highlights the many choices in CMM-based laser-scanning technology that are available.
