ANTIVIRUS-Yes or No?
The only answer I have to this question is-YES you do.
Regardless of whether you are a novice or a pro in the security field everyone needs an antivirus. Antivirus is obviously not your first line of defense (Firewalls are) but they are an integral part of your computer's security.
As a student for some time in malware removal courses I have seen and helped people who have been infected to the extent that they wouldn't even able to connect to the internet or faced regular computer crashes.90% of them are users who click every random pop-up that comes their way or download cracked software uploaded on random websites but the remaining 10% are users think they don't need any antivirus as they -according to them - know a lot about security and never click on pop-ups and test every software firstly on their virtual machines befor transferring it to their main desktop. But what these people forget is that antiviruses help in early detection of known malwares and a regular scan (I prefer one scan every fortnight) helps to check any subtle infection.
Of course, antiviruses don't help with every infection and with malwares like Antivirus 2007,8,9 series or cool web search you need specialized tools but antiviruses act as an external support to these tools and help in removal of remnants of these infections.
The other question that users ask after you convince them to use an antivirus is - Which is the best antivirus?
Well, there's a very thin line between an average and a good antivirus. And this thin line is often the scanning speed than malware detection. Most of the antiviruses don't have much difference in malware detection rate and like I earlier said antivirus softwares help in removal of small infections only, for some malwraes you need specialized tools. So, having any antivirus is better than having none.
There are some good free ones like Avast , AVG and Avira antivir (Avast is my preference) and excellent commercial ones like Esset NOD32 and Kaspersky (I'm hearing some good reviews for the latest Norton antivirus too). The choice of using a free or a commercial antivirus depends on the user. I personally don't feel like spending my money over a commercial one if a free antivirus like Avast does almost the same job.
Now that I've written so much about antiviruses I think I should advertise the importance of firewalls, anti-spywares and hosts files too (Though I'll be writing a document on how to keep your computer safe in the coming days)
Firewalls -like I earlier said- are your first line of defense. They keep most of the pop-ups and hackers away. Windows firewall is a very basic firewall (No hard feelings microsoft). For better security you need a good firewall. An excellent free one is Comodo Firewall. Zone alarm is also a very good firewall though I would rather go for it's commercial one.
I won't dwell much in to anti-spyeares except giving links to some good ones. A combination of Spybot and a-squared is believed to be a good choice to go for. I personally use Spyware Terminator and never had any problems with it. There are also good commercial ones like Spyware doctor but I would rather choose a free one like the case in antivirus.
Lastly I would advice you to have a good hsts file. I'm using MVPS hosts file which is the best hosts file available today. It block all pop-ups and random advertisements.And again it's free If you don't want to follow my advice on antivirus, firewalls and anti-spyware atleast go with the hosts file.
Using a good anivirus, firewall, anti-spyware and hosts file(MVPS) -preferably all free- along with a little common sense is enough to keep you computer safe.
And if you still get infected there's an excellent group of forums from ASAP which help users with their malware issues and also train users in malware removal- all for free!
Now I just want you people to share you opinions with the rest of the community or just tell me was this useful. Any reply is greatly appreciated=P

As we celebrate Black History Month, we realize our African-American heroes are also our American heroes: Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Jackie Robinson, the Tuskegee Airmen, the architects of the Underground Railroad, the Little Rock Nine, and those who lost their lives or loved ones in the ugly but important domestic battles of the Civil Rights Movement. There are many more heroes, too many to name here.
Locally, leaders like Rachel Noel, the first African-American member of the CU Board of Regents (1976), bravely integrated Denver Public Schools as a member of its school board despite school bus arsons and death threats to her and her family in 1968. Carlotta Walls Lanier, one of the Little Rock Nine, helped pave the way for equal education for her daughter, Brooke, a CU-Boulder graduate, and millions of American schoolchildren. Every day, our faculty, staff and students of color continue their legacy in advocating for inclusion, diversity and excellence in our community of learning.
Our past was built on uncommon tenacity and courage. Now, what is our future? The perseverance of these visionary leaders laid the foundation for more work to come. The struggle for equality and justice for all – the eternal American struggle – remains as pressing today as in times past, and rests squarely upon our shoulders as much as it ever has. We see it in new debates involving immigration and civil unions. We see it in the challenge to eliminate institutional racism and inequality in education, the workplace and in every facet of American life.
As we continue this important, unfinished work we can think of a day when we will not need Black History Month to remind us that African-American history is a part of all of us, interwoven in our American historical and cultural fabric. As Associate Professor Reiland Rabaka notes in this fine student-produced video, "All of America is better now because of the contributions of African-Americans."
He's right. Black history is American history -- our history. It's also a potent set of lessons, guideposts and inspirations for our campus community as we act to fulfill the promise of equality, justice and opportunity in our time.

For many years, Australia's McGuigan Wines have been on New Zealand shelves as entry-level and popular premium wines. Well priced, well made and well respected. Now, as chief winemaker Neil McGuigan says, it's time to step up while retaining the core business of easily affordable wines.
2010 McGuigan Shortlist Shiraz - $35
A Barossa Valley beauty. Not a heavy, in-your-face steamroller, this is made in a more approachable, lighter style. It is gentle and sweet with finely grained tannins and would be perfect with lamb. In keeping with McGuigan Wines' philosophy to deliver innovative quality wine to as wide an audience as possible, this wine demonstrates perfectly that it's working.
2010 Tempus Two Copper Tempranillo - $25
Tempranillo is the classic Spanish grape that delivers vibrant youthful mulberry fruits and exotic spices with a sweet moreish finish. Ageing in French and American oak adds complexity and creates a rich, medium-bodied wine that shows some restraint thanks to the cooler grape growing climate of the Adelaide Hills.
This wine is where modern style and classic finesse merge.
2009 Tempus Two Pewter Botrytis Semillon - $27
Worth buying if only for the shape of the unusual 250ml bottle, perfect for refilling with wine vinegar or olive oil when the wine is finished. Full of sharp, citrus flavours with splashes of dried apricot, marmalade and wild honey, this dessert wine has elegance, poise and style, with 10.5 per cent alcohol. Drinking now but it will develop over the next decade.
Barossa - a feast for the senses
The picturesque rolling hills of the Barossa overlook a colourful patchwork of vineyards and picture-book villages, dotted with historic churches, stone buildings, luxury accommodation and quaint vineyard cottages beckoning visitors to explore.
Hentley Farm Wines
The highlight of any trip to the Barossa is lunch at Hentley Farm Restaurant & Cellar Door. Dine in the property's intimate and elegantly restored stables set amongst the vines, or relax in front of the roaring fire!
Barossa Gourmet Weekend
Held annually each August over 20 wineries generously showcase their finest wines paired with heart-warming food and fantastic live entertainment.
• Casa Carboni Cooking Class
Casa Carboni is an Italian Cooking School and Enoteca (wine and food shop) in the beautiful town of Angaston. Take up a short cooking class that highlights the Barossa's incredible farmgate produce.
Barossa Farmers Market
Every Saturday morning from 7.30am to 11.30am, you can taste the best the Barossa has to offer. Over 50 stallholders provide a cornucopia of the freshest vegetables, meats, breads and cheeses. Delicious oils, preserves and local specialties give you everything you need for your houseboat holiday.
Cycle the Barossa Bike Trail
With several bike trails around the Barossa, including the new Barossa Bike Trail, why not hire a bike and weave your way from winery to winery, stopping to taste the produce of local cheese makers, olive growers and bakers along the way.
Clare Valley
Just 90 minutes north of Adelaide, the Clare Valley is a hidden gem of historic villages and wineries in a picturesque valley famed for its wine and pioneering heritage.
Considered the home of Australian Riesling, you'll find there's much more on offer as you ride your bike along the Riesling Trail or explore historic towns like Burra.
• Cycle the Riesling Trail
Hire a bike and cycle the scenic Riesling Trail that links local towns, passing restaurants, cafes and cellar doors. Cycle it in under three hours or complete it in stages. Three loop trails return you to your starting point, without having to backtrack.
Skillogalee Winery
Skillogalee is a boutique winery and restaurant with a reputation for exceptional wine and food. You can enjoy their handcrafted wines on the veranda when the weather is good, or by a roaring log fire in winter. Beautiful gardens surround the restaurant and cellar door.
• Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend
At the annual Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend held each year in May, local wineries open their doors to the public and offer tastings of their wines accompanied by gourmet food and entertainment.
Historic Sevenhill Cellars
Established by the Jesuits in 1851, Sevenhill Cellars is the oldest existing winery in the Clare Valley. Guided tours take place at 2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Alternatively pick up a map from the cellar door and explore on your own.

As I start my day I can tell you that the grass looks greener, the flowers look brighter, my chocolate frosted donuts taste better, and David Wilson is a Giant.

Its all good!!!

[/quote]Ah, you got your guy.Nice...My morning is pretty dang sweet also. We went from being one of the worst defenses to being middle of the pack or better overnight...AND we pissed the Ravens off by taking thier prized pick...To see them jump on the phone trying to trade out of the first round right after we took Hightower??? Priceless..[/quote]

Hightower is a bit of a question mark, even though lots of Giants fans coveted him.* Chandler Jones however was a great pick.
[/quote]I actually see it the other way. Hightower played 4 years in a system very much like ours. The guy is strong, fast, instinctive,pretty good in coverage, sheds blockers very well..He is one of those guys that has a nose for the ball and hits like a Mack truck..I thought we would have never had a chance to get him because i had two teams ahead of us taking him. Oh well, only time will tell as with any draft pick. Enjoy your fine day, i have some lovely yard work to do...


text: This may or may not have been mentioned already. Has anyone said health insurance? It's one of those things you don't think of until you need it and given the new healthcare mandate it's going to become a requirement. I don't know what premiums run for individuals in small businesses or what plans are offered, however, I know that the company I work for shells out about 450$ a MONTH on my premiums.

Reality Check: Vote No For Nothing In TV Ad
Does 'No' Vote Really Mean Nothing Will Happen?
MADISON, Wis. - A WISC-TV analysis of an ad against the proposed constitutional amendment defining marriage finds the ad is mostly accurate but overly simplifies a complex issue.
The TV ad airing across the state is from Fair Wisconsin, the group fighting against the constitutional change.
In the simple, straight-forward ad, the announcer makes a clear statement: "The constitutional amendment. Here's what will change if you vote 'no'." After a long pause, the announcer comes back, "Nothing, nothing will change. That's right. Not a thing. Not one thing."
This statement is "true," according to WISC-TV, but in a very narrow sense.
A "no" vote won't change the state constitution and won't change current law at all. However, that doesn't necessarily mean "nothing" will change.
"Gay Marriage is banned in Wisconsin. Voting 'no' means everything stays the same. No special rights. No government intervention. Keep things the way they are, vote 'no,'" says the ad's narrator.
This statement "needs clarification," according to a WISC-TV analysis.
The ad correctly points out that the current law defines marriage as between a husband and a wife. But, what could change is how judges interpret the law, which is what happened in Massachusetts and, more recently, in New Jersey.
However, every state's legal language is different, and different courts have ruled different ways.
So, while it's not fair to say nothing will change, it's also not fair to say a "no" vote will mean same-sex marriage will be legal in Wisconsin.
The truth is, no one can say with certainty what will happen.
A 'Yes' Vote
If the constitutional amendment is adopted, a "yes" vote will define marriage as between one man and one woman -- and it will be part of the constitution. That move would make same-sex marriage almost impossible in Wisconsin.
But the second sentence bans anything "substantially similar" to marriage for unmarried people. A "yes" vote will also mean courts will have to decide if that language effects domestic partner benefits or other benefits currently being offered to couples who aren't married. Legal opinions are mixed on its effect.
A 'No' Vote
A "no" vote will leave the current language of "one husband and one wife" in place, but it won't directly allow same-sex marriage.
And any benefits currently in place for domestic partners -- gay or straight -- would remain as they are now.

I really enjoyed last night show. Let the snow globes come! I loved seeing their expressions when they went into the bottling plant and bethenny was just staring with this little girl look. I like when her sweet side shows. Jason, let bethenny shop. She is very rich now and she can buy anything she wants.. Must be a wonderful feeling. Owning your; own airplane with all your logos. She certainly deserves it because she put alot of time in creating this success. On the housewives other shows they spend their husbands money without a thought. :I can't get over the episode on real housewives nyc when Jill dragged her husband into the very high end jewelry store. Bobby looked like he wanted to throw up. Bobby, better to throw Jill into traffic.

It was a sweet episode. Jason really grounds her, perfect match. It was nice to watch someone actually succeed for plain old hard work and achieving the American dream without cheating, stealing, backstabbing, flipping tables, etc. I really believe if all these executives and producers would put more of this stuff on tv and not the awful other sheez(Jersey Shore, other nasty HWives show, Kate+8) that they produce this country would be a little kinder to each other

DES Daughters by Susan E. Bell
From the 1940s to the 1970s, millions of women were exposed prenatally to the synthetic estrogen DES, a "wonder drug" intended to prevent miscarriages. However, DES actually had damaging consequences for the women born from DES mothers. The "DES daughters" as they are known, were found to have a rare form of vaginal cancer or were infertile. They were also at risk for miscarriages, stillbirths, and ectopic pregnancies.
In DES Daughters, Susan Bell recounts the experiences of this generation of "victims." In moving, heartfelt narratives, she presents the voices of those women who developed cancer, those who were cancer-free but have concerns about becoming pregnant, and those who suffered other medical and/or reproductive difficulties.
"In this wise and well-researched book, Susan Bell uses a narrative analytic strategy to both present and make sense of the 'embodied social movement' that arose among 'DES Daughters'—women (and later some men) whose mothers had been given a 'wonder drug' to prevent miscarriage in the 1940s, 1950, and 1960s that only from the 1970s forward was understood to produce devastating reproductive-tract results. Bell shows us how their experiences changed, as did the women's movement, health care activism, and scientific and biomedical practices. The result enables us to understand not only what women have to say about taking action to preserve and protect their own lives and the lives of others but also how both U.S. health movements and those who want to understand them evolve over time"
—Rayna Rapp, Professor of Anthropology, New York University, and author of Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: The Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America


text: Isiah might have been an %$#@ and maybe so was Bill Laimbeer but neither $%$#%$# the franchise over so if people are bitter about LB and Ben Wallace its warranted. IMO I missed they way the team played under LB. I have biases against Flip after one season which drives merc nuts. However, I think the franchise needs to get on the same page regarding its young assets. Joe talks about not interfering with his coaches but I think he needs to guide then a little more. i think, from reading off season articles, that he's starting to do that. I think 1 season on the bench is enough. by season 2 play them and figure out what you got.

Chargers Release Clinton Hart
Via former Charger lineman Roman Oben's twitter account:
"Chargers have released safety Clint Hart. Solid player who could contribute to any NFL team."
The Chargers released Clinton Hart to make room for Ian Scott - does this make any of you feel better about the defense?
October 14, 2009at 9:40 AM Posted by Rob Zepeda
14 comments:
Kevin Ellison, time to step up and show that you want it. Clearly Hart lacked "Heart" when on the football field. Afraid to hit someone and get his pretty jersey dirty. What a joke.
It puts a lot of pressure on rookie Ellison quickly, but now it's "Show Time!" and cause for demonstrating why you're paid. Hart has been at a low plateau for some time, so congratulations Kevin. Now earn it.
Besides, the D-line desperately needs healthy beef, so taking in Ian Scott immediately is an absolute necessity. He knows our system and his teammates, Boone looked bad before, and the Man-with-No-Name from Texas has yet to be in on a single play; a ghost, only a rumor of a hint of hearsay of supposed NFL talent. Welcome back Ian!!! Go get 'em!
Holy smokes, that was long, long overdue.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Possibly the worst "starter" on the defense, and the way this defense has played lately, that's saying a lot.
Are you people forgeting Ellison is a rookie. Whats next fans, hang this kid for not playing at a pro bowl level this year. I agree hart was not the answer.Strong Safety takes time to get good at. Yall will be all over him after the Broncos game, he was not perfect.
Clinton Hart is a perfect example of the way AJ has screwed up this team. When did Hart ever show any signs of being anything more than a backup. He has never been any good and he's started for 2 years. I had as much faith in AJ as anyone after the way he started in SD, but since those few amazing drafts, moves like these have caused me to seriously doubt his ability as a GM. I would say he is the best drafter in the NFL, but the last three drafts have sucked. I'm starting to believe more and more that Marty was fully responsible for our dominance in 06 and AJ took it personally. I mean everything has fallen apart on us since Marty's departure and yes Norv deserves most of the blame, but doesn't it seem like AJ has sucked just as much since Marty left and who hired Norv. The fact that Clinton Hart was able to accomplish what he did (as far as being a starter and stuff) at the pathetic level he was playing at shows me that AJ is not the genius I once thought him to be. In fact the moves AJ has made since Marty's departure are some of the worst in the league, and none is worse than his continued faith in Norv. Its like Norv and AJ have teamed up to destroy the team that Marty and AJ built. Are there 2 different AJ's? And if so where is the first one cause the latest version should be fired!!!!!
Lets not dwell.. What is done is done! I'm sure AJ is harder on himself then most of you critics. One one is perfect. He still has a good eye for talent. Thus far there has been so many unexpected injuries. Everyone is a geneuis in hind sight. I would love for AJ to pursue Gruden if things don't work out with Norv. Remember there is talent waiting in the wings is still out there and AJ can smell them out. Chargers players left can do it they are a special team that has proven to will it's way to the post season. I agree with Harts release. My intuition says we are headed in the right direction. Let stay positive. Kevin E u can get it done...My Man!
Lighting 72
We know Clinton was crusty, but isn't it odd that A.J. didn't choose to cut his favorite no-show "Buster" Davis instead of Hart?! I mean, at least Hart was a seasoned (albeit mediocre) starter at a crucial position, and probably held some trade value?
No, Charger fans - again I think that this is yet again a symptom of some other, deeper problems going on within this disappointing defensive team, but nobody on the inside is talking. I smell coaches and inter-office politics, but it could be gangrene.
If we don't win Monday night, it will be really bad. But if we lose again and play defense like we did against the Steelers, it will be catastrophic.
Goddamn it, I *still* pick my Chargers to win it! Go BOLTS!!!
Truth is Clinton would have been a salvagable back up. But when AJ gave him a six-year, $18M extension in 2008, it made him way to expensive as a backup. He also had no trade value due to his contract. Everyone can recall when AJ graded himself and mentioned that he was not happy with some personell decisions....Hart was 100% one of them.

The next starter to go is Cromartie- horrible tackler and he think he can live off his reputation of that one great game against the Colts a couple of years ago.
I hope the defense responds tonight, as it has been tense since AJ made those comments last week.
- Mark said... Oct 19, 2009, 7:50:00 AM
Does anyone see a trade coming as we approach the deadline?
- Joe Fiorentino said... Oct 19, 2009, 12:15:00 PM
Lewis Delmas is looking a lot better then Larry English right now. Too bad. At least Hart is finally gone. Long overdue.
Good luck and blessings to Clinton Hart and his family. He's a temporary Cinderella story who was a rookie at the age of 25 because he decided to skip playing football at a big university and instead play baseball at a local college so that he could take care of a younger sibling. He had a great 2007 and a mediocre 2008. 2009 spelled the end for Clinton Hart. It seems as though the Chargers can't seem to find a safety to stick around. Since 2004 the safety position has seen a carousel of players including Jerry Wilson, Bhawoh Jue, Marlon McCree and Clinton Hart all getting the axe. Good luck to Ellison, Gregory, Oliver, Weddle and Spillman. If they pay attention to recent Charger history they should know that Safety has been one of the more expendable positions on the roster with high turnover!
I know it may sound fantastic..., or drunk, to some people; but I still say Kassim Osgood could potentially make a great safety for the Chargers.
The PROS:
1. He's tall, big, and fast enough; for sure.
2. He's not afraid to tackle HARD or travel in tight, tough traffic.
3. He's got excellent, proven hands (the #2 receiver in the nation his senior year at SDSU).
4. As an All-Pro on Special Teams, he could be an "enforcer" the much-maligned defensive backfield desperately needs.
The CONS:
1. He's inexperienced on Defense - but he also brings a sensibility to the position having been experienced on the offensive side of the ball.
2. He's unproven - although many of the elements you want in a player in that position are most definitely already there.
3. He wants to play at wide receiver on a team knee-deep in tall, skilled wide receivers, but if he wants to catch balls and be on the field more (which her certainly merits), then let him intercept passes. A catch is a catch is a catch.
I think he's a diamond in the rough, and the clock is ticking..., just waiting for upper management to get their head out of their collective ass, tinkering with an offense that any teenager could coach well enough to score with their multitude of talent. Please, somebody wake up in Chargerville and USE YOUR TALENT to the maximum. It's cruel to watch so many talented players spend most of their time on the sideline.

City Council and the Problem of Commissions
Original post made by Otto, Crescent Park, on May 16, 2007
There is another problem with commissions - they _politicize_ everyday operational and aesthetic matters - often in areas that are best left to the operational managers that we hire to run our city.
The Architectual Commission, the Human Relations Commission, the Planning Commission, the Library Commission, and so on. All of these have an _occasional_ place in helping to bring forward advice to our policy makers. That said, should these comissions be institutionalized as permanent arbiters of advise - and do they really help our city to move forward as quickly as necessary in challenging times, especially given the penchant of policy-makers to defer hard questions that require answers _now_.
Once city commissions become institutions, they become politicizing hotbeds, and tend to deflect from the kind of leadership we require at the top to make tough decisions.
Our city's policy makers might take a hard look at the role of commissions in our city, and ask themselves whether many otherwise normal operational city decisions wouldn't be best left to the professionals we hire to carry them out, with the occasional ad hoc commission formed to look into this or that problem, as long as the City Council _uses_ the advice brought back to them, instead of ousing it as a tactic for not committing, or ignoring said advice altogether.

I just got re-appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission to my second 3 year term. You don't mention the Commission on which I serve in your comments, and I must admit I cannot tell if your intent is to find fault with City Council, Commissions or both.
I have seen the Parks and Recreation Commission evolve quite a bit in the time I have been on it. Some of this has to do with it being fairly new, about 7 years old, and getting its role clearly defined as part of the City Community Services area. Some of it has to do with who serves, their interests, their personal strengths/weaknesses/qualities. Some of it has to do with what the issues are that we face. I suspect that is true for all the Commissions.
And of course, a big part of a Commission's work is a function of who applies to serve on it and whom City Council appoints.
I do not want to boast about the job the Parks and Recreation Commission does, or my role on the Commission, but I must admit I found some of your characterizations to be difficult to see during my time there. Angry golfers, angry gardeners, and angry tennis players may not be the same as people dealing with police use of Tasers, but I feel we have approached issues these folks and others have had openly, objectively, fairly and decisively, and it is reflected in how the Council ultimately has disposed of the matters they have asked us to address.
I think the Parks and Recreation Commission has a valuable role to play working with staff, Cit Council and the community, and I admire greatly the people with whom I serve and have recently left service on the Commission. I invite you to attend our next meeing on May 22 in City Hall, Council Conference Room, at 7pm. I would be interested if your opinion as expressed above is born out by how we conduct our affairs on behalf of the community.

Paul, I said "The Architectual Commission, the Human Relations Commission, the Planning Commission, the Library Commission, and so on. "
the words "and so on" is meant to include all commissions not named. Please know that I'm not indicting the commissions, or the commissioners.
Everyone works hard, and does their very best. THis is not an indictment of commissioners, or the intent that underlies the forming of permanent commissions.
My point was that commissions are set up in such a way that many operational functions within the city become to highly politicized. I would much rather see special temporary commissions set up, for specific, large-scale purposes - such as the recent taser commission, or the public safety commission.
Full time commissions encourage contention, and the politicization of city functions. I would much rather see our city bring in an ombudsman or two to handle complaints and citizen input.
Again, it's not the commissions, or the commissioners that are the issue; it's rather the kinds of contentious citizen and slow-as-molasses policy-making behavior that is encouraged by their very existence.
Changing the structure, length, or purpose of commissions micght serve us better.

Thanks for your elaboration. I agree with you that any group can calcify after a period of time when it did serve a useful purpose. Such is the case in and out of government bodies, although there are many examples of the roots burroughing so deeply with public institutions that it is indeed difficult if not impossible to close them out if they no longer add value.
So, I agree with your assessment, still not able to buy in to the notion that the way to address it rests entirely with setting up ad hoc groups that are disbanded after they have accomplished what they were asked to do. I actually served on one of these a few years ago, we did our job, and disbanded, the Mayfield Soccer Fields are a bi-product of that task forces work. They can be very effective.
On the other hand, there is something to be said for continuity as well. No commission or council should be micro-managing professional staff, but there are times when legitimate policy questions require reasonend thinking from people who have some time and experience with the matters at hand. There is a great deal of effort required to "start up" any working group, and instituitonal memory does have a place.
I think we can agree to disagree on the best approach here. Whether a group has quasi permanent status or a finite life, the community is entitled to the people serving to doing the best work they can, and taking seriously the leadership role they play on behalf of the community. We have seen many examples of "punting" and of "leadership" in both types of groups, so I am hard pressed to buy into the notion that one type of set up or the other leads to better policy making. Like many other things I observe about life, "It Depends."

Molokai Travel Tips
Getting to Molokai
There are three ways to get to Molokai: a 25-minute flight on a local air carrier from Oahu's Honolulu International Airport Commuter Terminal (HNL), Maui's Kahului Airport (OGG) to Molokai Airport (MKK), or the daily interisland ferry from neighbouring Maui.
Ferry service on the Molokai Princess crosses the Kalohi channel twice a day between Lahaina Harbor and Kaunakakai Harbor, once in the morning, once in the late afternoon. Expect to be treated to spectacular sunsets during the afternoon ferry crossing, and whale sightings during the winter months. Travel time is approximately 90 minutes. For more information visit www.molokaiferry.com.
Staying on Molokai
Accommodation on Molokai varies from the oceanfront Hotel Molokai to rental condos (apartments), cottages and bed and breakfasts in Kaunakakai and Maunaloa. Weather in Molokai is pleasant throughout the year. Year round temperatures average around 23.9º C. At Molokai's higher elevations, it can get a bit cooler and wetter so pack a light jacket. The West End of Molokai is dryer and more arid while the mountainous East End is wetter and greener.
Travelling on Molokai
It's best to rent a car on Molokai. The island is easy to navigate with only one two-lane highway stretching across it. However, some excursions require the use of a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Quantities are limited so make reservations in advance. Remember to go easy on the accelerator here. As the sign says on your way out of the airport: "Slow down, you're in Molokai".
Currency Exchange
Hawaii's currency is the US dollar. You can exchange currency at Honolulu International Airport (HNL) and at the other major neighbouring island airports. Major credit cards are widely accepted and ATM machines are plentiful. Travellers cheques are accepted at many businesses.
US standards on tipping apply:
Restaurants: 15-20%. Check to see if "gratuity" is included for large parties.
Bar: $0.50-$1 US per drink
Housekeeping: $1 US per bed, per night
Luggage porters: $1 US per bag
Doorman: $1 US for calling a taxi
Room Service: 10-15% of the total bill
Taxi: 15% of fare
The official languages of Hawaii are English and Hawaiian, although Hawaiian is not commonly spoken. Major resort areas often have customer service representatives who speak Japanese.
Internet and Electricity
Internet access is readily available in Hawaii. Electricity in the US is 115/120 volts at 60 cycles (60 Hz) per second. If your device does not accept this voltage, you may need to purchase a voltage converter.
Agricultural Inspection
The US Department of Agriculture enforces strict rules regarding the exportation of uninspected plants and animals and requires a declaration form for each person arriving in Hawaii. When departing, your luggage must pass a pre-flight screening for uninspected fruits and plants. You are welcome to take inspected fresh flowers and fruits home. Items purchased at the airport or mailed home from local vendors are inspected for you.

Grapes for the Brampton wines are selected from the Rustenberg estate vineyards on the Simonsberg as well as from Nooitgedacht, proprietor Simon Barlow's property high on the Helderberg slope, overlooking False Bay, where mountain ridges are cooled by gentle salt breezes. All of the Brampton wines are fermented in stainless steel. Each vineyard block is vinified separately, and the parcels are later blended to create supple, fruit-driven wines. The whites are aged in tank in order to preserve the fresh fruit flavors of the wines. After the initial fermentation is complete, the reds are run to small oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation of up to 15 months before bottling.
Each Brampton label is etched with a "B", playfully scrawled in vivid, varietal-specific colors. The range is packaged under user-friendly screw cap closures, ensuring fresh, juicy flavors and consistent quality. Perfect everyday wines and great for casual gatherings, Brampton offers tremendous value and sophisticated winemaking in every sip. View all Brampton Wines
About South AfricaSouth Africa
Shop our most popular wine from South Africa
Shop our top rated wine from South Africa
A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most control over wines and vineyards until the late 1980's. Now, with a bit more competition, quality is coming around. Yet, South African wine was not even seen in American wine stores until the mid-1990's – the trade embargo on the country for their racial apartheid laws kept South African wine out of the US. When apartheid fell, so did the embargo, and SA bottles began showing up on US shelves.
Notable Facts
White wine has always been the cash crop of South Africa, with much of it distilled to make brandy. More white than red is planted, much of it the Steen variety – known elsewhere in the world as Chenin Blanc. Good producers are making top quality dry wines from this grape. Another grape gaining some raves is Sauvignon Blanc, producing whites that are dry and crisp, yet rounder than many of its Southern Hemisphere counterparts. For reds, the top grapes are Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon (& blends) and Pinotage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends was once the favorite and most-produced, but Shiraz is taking over as wineries crank out high quality wines from the variety. Pinotage, which used to be a grape only your mother could love, has improved dramatically and is often as delicious as it is distinctive. The most popular regions of the country include Stellenbosch and Paarl.

Cmon Dezz I expected better from you
No one knows what actually happened. However, it would seem from what we do know that this was a serious misdeed by Zimmerman.

But to say that we know exactly what happened and then to characterize it accordingly, is tremendously misguided.

Remember what they all said about the Duke "rape" case. Which turned out to be complete bull****.
[/quote]Yea, we have trials, attorneys, and investigators that attempt to prove what is the truth and what isnt. Its innocent until proven guilty, but just because you're arrested doesnt mean you're guilty.
And nobody said they knew 'exactly' what went down, but we ALL know the details of what happened. Zimmerman saw a black kid in his development, called the cops they said to stay put, he decided to take it in his own hands and murdered an unarmed teenager, then when the cops arrived and he was holding a figurative 'smoking gun' they told him to go home
Florida is ****ED!!!!!

Detailed Description:
While inflammation contributes crucially to atherothrombosis, it is unknown whether inhibition of inflammation per se will lower vascular event rates. The primary aim of the Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial (CIRT) is to directly test the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis by evaluating whether or not low-dose methotrexate (LDM) will reduce rates of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death among stable coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, conditions associated with an enhanced pro-inflammatory response. CIRT is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, event-driven trial that will randomize 7,000 men and women from the United States and Canada. Following a five- to six-week open-label run-in (maximum 8 weeks), eligible participants who have either suffered documented myocardial infarction in the past or have angiographically demonstrated multivessel coronary artery disease in the past will be randomly allocated over a three to four year period to usual care plus placebo or usual care plus LDM. The target methotrexate dose among those allocated to active therapy is 15 to 20 mg po per week, a dose within the range of that commonly used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All study participants will additionally receive 1.0 mg oral folate to be taken daily six days per week. LDM complications will be minimized through education programs for all investigators and coordinators, through enhanced communication with study participants, by limiting enrollment to those with no evidence of malignancy, hepatitis, renal dysfunction, chronic infection, pulmonary disease, or other risk factors for toxicity; by conducting an initial 5- to 6-week active-therapy run-in (maximum 8 weeks) designed to eliminate individuals who are either intolerant of or unable to adhere to treatment before randomization; and through regular monitoring of liver function and hematologic indices using a centralized methodology designed to ensure participant safety, allow for dose adjustments while maintaining the study blind, and provide an efficient method to address issues of compliance and follow-up on a cost-effective centralized basis. The primary trial endpoint is the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death. Secondary and tertiary endpoints include all-cause mortality, coronary revascularization, incident congestive heart failure, incident peripheral artery disease, incident venous thrombosis, clinically significant aortic stenosis, incident atrial fibrillation, incident diabetes among those with metabolic syndrome but not diabetes at study entry, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control among those with diabetes at study entry. The trial is event driven such that in the absence of extreme effects, the trial will conclude after accrual of at least 530 primary endpoints, an effect estimated to provide 90 percent power to detect a 25 percent relative risk reduction. The potential clinical impact of CIRT is broad as it has sufficient power to directly address core issues in the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis, and thus, if successful, will open major new directions for cardiovascular treatment.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years at screening
Documented past history of myocardial infarction OR past evidence of multivessel coronary artery disease by angiography.
- To qualify on the basis of past history of myocardial infarction, the event must be documented either by hospital records or by evidence on current ECG of Q waves in two contiguous leads and/or an imaging test demonstrating wall motion abnormality or scar. The patient must also have completed any planned coronary revascularization procedures associated with the qualifying event, and be clinically stable for at least 60 days prior to screening.
- To qualify on the basis of multivessel coronary disease, there must be past angiographic evidence of atherosclerosis in at least 2 major epicardial vessels defined either as the presence of a stent, a coronary bypass graft, or an angiographic lesion of 60% or greater. Left main coronary artery disease that has been revascularized with a stent or bypass graft will qualify as multivessel disease, as will the presence of a 50% or greater isolated left main stenosis.

Hey I am all for experimenting. I was simply stating that when discussing vertical people mean that bees move easier when they don't have to cross comb in the winter. Even if you prop one end up really high the bees still align their comb with gravity. So the bees will still have to cross comb in order to get to the other side of the hive. Now I'll tell you that I have a TBH in MN going into its first year. Has been a mild winter thus far, but bees are still alive.

Several very good designs. You all are talented. For me, buckbee's design is a very appealing TBH. I like this simple, cost effective, design and it looks pleasant to my eyes. This design has fewer cuts and angles and if I make a flat roof it's even cheaper. Thanks.
Velacreations: Great idea using the barrel; well documented process. Thx.
I posted recently my new Vita Hive (TBH) here's the link
3 X 3D models iv'e made
6 X finished product
Design by Beev! He was kind enough to send it to me and I only made a slight modification to the bee entrance. The one pictured is made out of sassafras, except for the legs and about ten bars. I still have to add a latch to both sides of the box to secure the roof, then give it a good coat of oil based paint on the outside.

Thought I'd throw my modified barrel top bar hive design in the mix...
Main modifications are an addition of a divider within the hive, using a chicken water feeder with syrup inside to get them started, screened vent in the base, re-sizable entrance reducer, and of course a chicken coop.
Have several entries describing the process of building these here: http://www.independencehomestead.com...ry/beekeeping/
Bees have been in them for 3 weeks now and both hives are doing very well.
Chickens are currently in a box in basement growing up to be ready to go outside in about 3-4 more weeks.

My top bar hives I build with independent stands. I used white cedar based on one of my saw bucks like this:
I built them like this out of reject twisted, warped and bowed pieces of wood:
Here is one of the hives sitting on a base. This is how the hive made it through the winter here in zone 4 except in the winter I only had 1/2 of a cork opening:
My top bars are Langstroth width 1&1/4" wide. Any new bars I will make 1" and use spacers. If I pull out some of the spacers, it would allow the function of supering with Langstroth boxes, or nadiring a top bar hive from a Langstroth box.
We wage a war to save civilization itself
--George w. Bush November 8, 2001
That's a truly great TBH BoBn, nice and simple. Excuse me while I run into the backyard and build one now!
Rgds: Jeff
I'm lovin' all these TBH designs. The barrels got me wondering about the feasibility of using a 4 ft long +/- tree trunk, ripped in half and hollowed/dug out. Diameter might need to be around 30 in. My neighbor has a felled hickory tree I can have . . . This sounds so crazy, it just might work . . . Anyone else?
Here is my latest YouTube video showing my experimental 'deep floor', which is designed to encourage an ecosystem to develop inside the hive, while maintaining and stabilizing the internal temperature and humidity.
The Barefoot Beekeeper http://www.biobees.com
Here's a simple design that I use with an optional screen bottom and stand. It's based on a Dr. Wyatt A. Mangum presentation (and now book). It's very practical because it uses dimensional lumber. The front and rear could be square but I like the way the angles look. The stand is also pretty simple, very stable, and it slips off for easy transport. I'm a strong advocate of a light weight roof that provides good ventilation. I simply keep a few spare bars (and spacers) on the top of each hive so I use them to support the roof and provide ventilation. Bricks/limbs/firewood are my norm for holding the roof down but if I kept hives where people couldn't see them I'd tie the roofs down.
A few things you might notice from the hive pic are the robber screens in place, I use sponges for entrance reducers, the first bar is a sideways so it's easy to enter from the front, the next few are lang bars with 1/8 inch spacers (from a cut nuc). I'm now building these without screen bottoms because my queens seem to be hygienic and I sample varroa using the sugar shake method. I'm also getting away screens because they provide refuge to SHBs and moths. Landing boards could easlily be added by attaching a shortened top bar below the holes. If you include them make sure to place them below the holes so water won't enter the hive.

Hello friends of TBH,
My design is based on Dadant, all compatible with honey rooms, floor board, etc.
Greetings from the black bee Germany, Horst
Since the "warrebeek" site seems to have completely disappeared I went back to my notes and began to work on a sketchup design. from pictures I kept on my HD.
I designed 33mm bars (a Perone influence I guess) instead of 32mm in the original
Management (sorry I didn't keep the pictures but it is easily comprehensive)The Frankenhive can contain up to three separate colonies.
Each colony can be managed separately as a simple horizontal top-bar hive, nadired with occupied Warré hive boxes or supered with empty Warré hive boxes. The Frankenhive can be used for activities such as feeding or splitting a nucleus and raising queens.
Floor: flat, 38 mm thick
Entrance: multiple side and end entrances, each a combination of 19 mm diameter entrance holes, #9 tapered natural cork plugs
Hive-Body Box: variable shape and size, maximum W 28 x H 35 x L 99 cm internal dimensions, adjustable follower boards, 38 mm thick exterior walls
Comb Support: removable top-bars with 9 mm bee space
Comb Spacing: variable on-center spacing, 32 mm in the broodnests and 38 mm in the honey storage areas
Comb Height: uninterrupted to 35 cm in main box
Cover: coarse cloth on top-bars, wood edged quilt boxes containing natural insulating material retained with coarse cloth
Roof: gabled roof with ventilated cavity
Management: horizontal, nadired and/or supered, "Nestduftwärmebindung" retained within the hive
Wintering: flexible
Harvest: raw, cut comb and drained pressed comb
PS: it is designed in mm, to help people from Fahrenheitland I give this little trick : just select all, copy the model, open a new (empty) sketchup file and paste : magic ! all measurments become Imperial !Frankenhive Management Strategies
The Frankenhive can contain up to three separate colonies. Each colony can be managed separately as a simple horizontal top-bar hive, nadired with occupied Warré hive boxes or supered with empty Warré hive boxes.
The following photos illustrate different management strategies.
The single tier Frankenhive can be divided with follower boards into one, two or three separate compartments. Each compartment has a separate entrance, either side or end.
A colony, illustrated in yellow, can be confined to a single compartment by using a follower board.
A second colony can occupy a second compartment by using a follower board.
A third colony can occupy a third compartment.
A single colony can expand horizontally as desired by moving the follower board.
An expanding colony and a confined colony can occupy the hive separated by a follower board as shown.
A single colony can be confined to the center compartment for added thermal efficiency during winter.
Adding three separate second tier hive boxes on top of the first tier hive box expands the management strategies. The follower boards within the first tier can be aligned with the hive box sidewalls of the second tier. Again each compartment has a separate entrance, either side or end.
An empty second tier hive box placed on the first tier hive box can super a colony located in a first tier hive compartment.
Two empty second tier hive boxes placed on the first tier hive box can super an expanded colony located in the first tier hive.
A hive box containing an existing colony, illustrated in orange, can be placed on top of the first tier hive box. The colony can build from the hive box downward into a first tier compartment nadiring the existing colony.
A second tier hive box colony can be nadired, illustrated in orange, while a colony occupies a separate compartment, illustrated in yellow.
A second tier hive box colony can be nadired, illustrated in orange, while a first tier colony, illustrated in yellow, is supered.
Two empty second tier hive boxes placed on the first tier hive box can super an expanded colony located in the first tier hive while a second tier hive box colony is nadired.
A single colony can be confined to the center compartment of the first and second tier for added thermal efficiency during winter.
A single colony can be confined to the center compartment for added thermal efficiency during winter while supplemental honey, illustrated in orange, is provided from a second tier hive box.
Adding additional hive boxes make a third and even fourth tier possible. The Frankenhive can be used for activities such as feeding or splitting a nucleus and raising queens.
a little picture update
Here's mine, got plans from backyardhive.com and modified it. Used 2 x12 for one of mine and doubled it to two 2 x 12 on next. Both had winter survivor bees in spring. image.jpg
Some great ideas here. I plan on modeling a couple TBHs similar to Philip Chandler's design at biobees.com. However, I'm not quite sold on the eco-floor. Instead, I'd like to accomplish something like a freeman bottom board under my screen in order to help with varroa and shb issues. And also close it off for the winter.
I did see something on http://paradisenectar.com/pricing but I have not seen any real plans for this.
Anyone have any thoughts? photos? plans?
I have always wanted to learn woodworking, and becoming a beekeeper and the increasing need and expense of more top bar hives got me going on it. I used the basic design from Phil Chandler's Biobees site, and added a drawer below the screened bottom for catching mites and beetles that fall into the diatomaceous earth in the tray. I bought some basic tools (drill and driver) and a very small battery powered circular saw. It took me a long time but I enjoyed the process and learned sooo much! It's like learning to sew on a sewing machine- only with wood!

text: Upper Knuckle Ball-Joint Replacement The vehicle on which the upper knuckle ball-joint was replaced, was a 4WD, 2003, K2500 Chevy Suburban. The repair manual indicated to elevate the vehicle, then remove the wheel. Easy so far. At this point the manual indicates to release the torsion bar suspension (no coil suspension) and remove the brake caliper, followed by the rotor and axle. Seeing that this would increase the number of hours for servicing the upper knuckle ball joint, I opted out to not disturb the these respective parts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13753819@N02/2996978903/ Instead I positioned a small hydraulic jack beneath the lower wish bone, http://www.flickr.com/photos/1375381...n/photostream/ and proceeded to remove the lock nut on the upper knuckle ball-joint. Then using a pickle fork and a 5 lbs hammer, separated the upper wishbone from the steering knuckle. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1375381...n/photostream/ At the moment the ball-joint released, the knuckle assembly dropped down towards oneself with the weight of the brake caliper and rotor. However, the lower ball-joint prevented the entire assembly from falling down. So be prepared to catch and secure it. In hindsight, it would be practical to attach a safety wire around this assembly before dislodging the ball-joint, with enough slack, thus preventing the assembly from dropping. www.flickr.com/photos/13753819@N02/2996978301/in/photostream/ Now using a ball-joint press tool, the worn upper ball-joint was removed, http://www.flickr.com/photos/1375381...n/photostream/ then after a new ball-joint was installed. (The new ball-joint had a marking indicating which side needed to be positioned inboard).http://www.flickr.com/photos/1375381...n/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/1375381...n/photostream/ Then using the small hydraulic jack, the lower wishbone was raised up along with the knuckle assembly , and meshed onto the upper ball-joint stud. The ball-joint's stud was torqued to 50 NM. (Needle nose vise-grips® were used to hold the ball-joint stud from rotating, while tightening on the nut.) The wheel was then reinstalled and the vehicle was ready to roll. Total working time was about 2.5 hours. Some of the tools needed: Ratchet set, preferably with at least an 18 inch long ratchet wrench for added leverage, torque wrench, ball-joint press, vise grips, 5 pound hammer, pickle fork, two hydraulic jacks and safety tripods, grease gun.
