Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Sep 8, 2012.
Could someone find Notre Dam, wich Ziueva did for Xintong HUANG / Xun ZHENG?
Agreed - although I want to see Bobrova and Soloviev up close on camera before I say anything because the video I saw of their SD was from very far away.
Is this it? It says on Ice Network that their 2009 season Notre Dame for their music, but it sounds like Romeo and Juliet
Nope, this is Mozart's Lacrimosa...nice coincidence
Yeah I noticed that as I was listening to the music - I think that Linichuk made this for them basically using Denkova and Staviski's music and stuff.
They used it at GP and choreo was from Zueva-Shpilband, but then they changed FD
You could probably just say that they used it. Instead of running in here. Since everyone can read both threads anyways.
sorry, but with that signature you can't certainly blame others for "bashing" your favorites, Theatergirl *shrugs*
D-W police is there. Cant wait to read your post in Secrete Sourse
B-S did there debute of SD at competitions in Russia. They get only 65,48
Low technikal mark. Maybe missed levels at pattern?
Hmm what did they get last year?
interesting. i'm liking many of the sd's.
A) I'm not blaming anyone for bashing my favorites. I don't feel that my favorites have been "bashed". I'm blaming pani for acting like if she runs in here no one will be able to see her.
B) the signature is a joke. It was funny. It is from a funny conversation using quotes from the big bang theory. And the only people who would take my signiture as a I sign that I "hate" Tessa and Scott or as "bashing" Tessa and Scott are the same kind of people who would get up in arms over the thread title being "it's a piss off". Aka: people who can't handle a joke about their favorite skater every once in a while.
I have no desire to come in here and talk about Meryl and Charlie. I will talk about them in the Meryl and Charlie thread. The uber threads should be for the ubers. Which is why the only time I've posted in here was when I was excited about Tessa and Scott's SD music. The only reason I am posting in here now is because Pani's attempt to "rally the V&M troops" or whatever to find videos of obscure ice dancers using Notre Dame de Paris in order to win an argument no one but her is having is ridiculous. When V&M's music was announced, you didn't see a bunch of D&W fans come in here to post every video of anyone ever skating to Carmen, did you? It seems we might be extended the same respect whatever you think of our favorite skaters. But obviously I have no power to make anyone do anything.
How many words
I enjoy subtle irony and a good joke as much as anyone, Theatregirl. Your signature, in my opinion, is neither funny, nor in good taste. And I'm not saying this because, as a V/M uber, I can't handle others making fun of them. (I was actually quite amused by the "piss off" title). To me, it feels offensive and, as it turns out, I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
You are right, though, that people should lighten up here a little. The season hasn't even begun and we already fight about programs we haven't even seen.
I agree about lightening up and maybe not run to the other thread posting video links None of the Canton teams have original music it seems (if the Notre Dame rumour is true). It's what they do with the music and their programs that will be interesting. V&M and the Shibs seem to be working closely with another choreographer alongside Marina that give a clue where they are going with their programs so it will be interesting to see who D&W are working with as I assume they will try something different from the obvious.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of using a piece of music as "overused" as Carmen, if they are indeed doing a modern dance version. For all the millions of times Carmen has been used in figure skating, it's almost always the same sort of way -- over the top facial expressions, same kinds of movements, etc. If they are able to move to and show Carmen in a completely new way, that could have more of an impact than if they had picked an entirely obscure piece of music and did a modern dance to it. Everything depends on the choreography. Looking forward to it!
That's pretty much exactly where I am right now. I think you all know how much I disliked the idea when the rumor first leaked. In my head, I was picturing V/M doing the same sort of Carmen program that's been done countless times before. After seeing those pictures and hearing that they're working with a modern dance choreographer, I have hopes that this is not going to be Carmen as it's been done all of those times before.
If I'm being honest with myself, when I look back at my favorite ice dance programs from the past 20 something years, it's the way the ice dancers moved and their choreography that I remember far more than the music.
Thanks for clarifying and welcome aboard! So, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, how's the Italian online figure skating fandom reacting to this upcoming C/L vs VM Battle of the Carmens? (C/L vs V/M BotCs? ) Not making a poll or anything just curious about how skating fans from different countries react I guess.
I hate to be in Jennifer Swan's place right now.
Having read Pani and Theatregirl's ongoing love notes, I have a suggestion that I hope some of the other posters might find acceptable. They agree to start their own thread "Love/hate relationships of Trash Can" and keep it out of this thread. Pani I love your posts but don't really care for this relationship in T/S thread Please can we stick to loving T/S
it won't work. half of the pleasure of arguing in boards come from 'breaking the status quo' once in a while. all i can say is that at least in pani's posts there is always a vein of irony.
Thanks for posting this. I'm really excited to see this program and their SD.
Honestly I just came to check out if there were any new stuff from HPC and instead I got a lot of posts on irrelevant stuff. I was seriously thinking what the hell is all this?!
IDK, it might be pleasurable for you, but I don't think it is for a lot of people; I think it's petty and childish tbh. And Pani what exactly are you trying to accomplish when you go into the thread of skaters you've stated emphatically that you dislike, if not to stir up trouble? It's annoying.
Wholly agree, Shayii.
And agree with your Carmen points, sap5 and aka gerbil.
I used to visit a soccer board during the World Cup that actually had a "rivalries" section of the board for people to slag off each the rival team/country so they could keep the dumb stuff out of the main board. I think it would be hilarious to have a thread on FSU where people could just go at it for sport, no neg rep allowed.
they REALLY should use this then! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdIev12fCPs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Yes - I thought that I won't like the polka SDs, but there seems to be more variety and character in them than in those latin SDs. I haven't even encountered identical music choices so far. Sure, there are many country songs, bur at least they're not the same songs. And there are even some SDs with a storyline.
I wish they would have chosen a different road - to try and find some more interesting (or at least nice) polka, as some other teams have done.
But we don't know what they picked for polka music?
At this point, we don't know that they picked any polka music, and that's terrifying.

TNB: Best In Show: Brand New Gear from the Outdoor Retailer Show
Exactly twice a year, the earth's tilt aligns perfectly with the sun, and for one 24-hour period, day and night are equal lengths. People run about trying to balance eggs and brooms on end, and wax poetic about the return to balance.
Well, much like the equinox, a similar, startling shift occurs within the entire outdoor industry. Twice a year, once in winter and again in the summer, the majority of America's outdoor industry professionals gather in a concrete-walled building in Salt Lake City, and convene at what is called the Outdoor Industry Retailer Trade Show. At "the show," the entire Salt Palace Convention Center is filled to the brim with new "revolutionary" outdoor gear, and although I didn't see anyone balance an egg on its end, I definitely heard a hefty earful about new climbing gear. So while the balance of the outdoor industry returns to the earth this week, I'd like to give Rock and Ice readers a heads-up on a few pieces of climbing gear that were born (or reborn) at this summer's OR Trade Show and will be available in the spring of 2014.
The North Face Cinder Pack
The Camalot has become a fixture on the protection circuit, and just this year Black Diamond introduced the X4 series, which features a flexible, yet armored single-stem design [See Field Tested, Rock and Ice No. 211]. Now, Black Diamond has added a few siblings to the line by introducing the X4 offset cams. These specialized pieces will fill out the holes (pun intended) in your rack by giving you the option of plugging those pesky flairs and pin scars. The offsets will be available in the following sizes: .1/.2, .2/.3, .3/.4, .4/.5, .5/.75.
The German climbing gear manufacturer Edelrid has produced what will likely be the lightest locking carabiner on the market. At just 42 grams, this biner has a sliding, spring-loaded, locking mechanism on the gate, which is actually possible to operate with one hand while clipping, making it valuable as both an anchor tool as well as a locking, clipping biner used as part of a running belay. The Pure Slider locker will surely be a go-to piece of gear for the gram-conscious alpine climber tired of heavy 60-gram, screwgate lockers.

'Vampire Diaries' Vote! Who Should Elena Choose: Stefan Or Damon? And Tell Us Why!
Are you on Team Stelena or Team Delena? We want to know, once and for all, who deserves to be with Elena?
Fact: Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) are sexy. Another fact: They've both got their eye on Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who bears a disturbing resemblance to their mutual ex, vampire Katherine. We know it might be impossible for you to decide which brother is right for Elena, but unfortunately, we're making you choose! Should she go with sensitive, brooding Stefan? Or does she belong with dangerous, MORE brooding Damon? Choose wisely!
Meanwhile, here's what some of you have been saying about the Stelena/Delena debate:
- Anne23 says: "I'm a huge Damon/Elena fan!! They have the most amazing chemistry I've ever seen! On the contrary, the Stefan/Elena scenes are always so boring!"
- d.p. says: "Team Stelena FTW!! The true epic pairing and the true focus of the triangle."
- bayoubaby says: "i like stefan and elena together, but once damon came to mystic falls i have been waiting for that hook-up to take place."
- Rebecca says: "Stefan/Elena belong together. They are the soul-mates of the story."

Sol y Vida - Mexican Modern Art: 1900-1950
23 Feb 2000 - 17 May 2000
The National Gallery of Canada is proud to announce the opening of Mexican Modern Art, 1900-1950, on view from 25 February to 17 May 2000. A diverse and stunning exhibition, co-produced with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, it will feature some 270 works by fifty of Mexico's finest artists. This selection of over 160 paintings, 20 sculptures, 30 photographs, and 60 prints will be the first display of Mexican modern art in Canada since the early forties. Well-known artists Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros will be represented, as well as artists less familiar to Canadian audiences. "Mexico experienced not just a revolution but an artistic and cultural renaissance during the first half of the 20th century. The influence and innovations of modern Mexican artists extend well beyond that country's borders. With the presentation of this important exhibition, we hope to increase awareness in Canada of the forces shaping the artistic landscape in Mexico between 1900 and 1950," stated Pierre Théberge, Director, National Gallery of Canada. "It is their aesthetic ideas that constitute the real history of Mexican modern art."

We've spent a lot of time covering IK Multimedia's line of iOS accessories for guitarists. And with good reason: the original iRig for the iPhone and iPod Touch was one of the first dedicated music accessories for the mobile musician, helping to launch a whole cottage industry of hardware and apps that transformed iOS devices from consumption to creative devices. And with the recently released iRig Keys, IK has extended that line to keyboardists as well.
The iRig Keys is a 37-key mini keyboard and MIDI controller. It works as a Core MIDI device for iOS and a USB class compliant for seamless use with any app or software which supports MIDI devices on both Mac and PC. The device is complete with wheels for modulation and pitch bend and has an input jack for a sustain pedal, along with various buttons for changing octaves or volume. All of the keys are velocity-sensitive, meaning that a lighter touch will result in a softer notes while the opposite is true when hammering out chords.

Ok I know what your thinking. We have many big needs and we can not be perpetually drafting WR's every year but. But...
Nicks - Injured. I expect him to be fully recovered because he is a hard worker, but that is a wild card
Cruz - Extended hold out. May be very grumpy if does not get $ may effect his play like djax
Randle - Young. came on strong at the end of the year
Should we have drafted a WR 1st round? Worst case impossible scenario is Cruz refuses to play and nicks is re-injured.
If cruz plays this year with no contract he is gone next year, and we have lost a year to groom a new rookie.
If our drafted rookie played well and nicks recovers cruz has even less negotiating space next year.

I do not think his SC data has been updated in a while. There is no way that guy is 256 pounds, He is way bigger looking than that to me. I think SC is trying to pull a fast 1.
Yea and even if he's 255 now, he will be in the 270s come 2014. The kids freaking 19 years old! Most likely will be the number 1 pick in the draft.
I think he is on and off against the run if the couple of games I saw him in, doesn't have that many moves to get to the QB, but this can be coached, great athlete, good measurable, can be a force under the right tutelage.

Very few have that many moves before turning 20. You really can't be overcritical on his technique or weight at this stage in his development as he certainly makes up for it in athleticism and motor. I'm not dreaming of him in on the Giants, but I am certainly a believer in him as an elite prospect.
I say we throw every game to guarantee we have the first pick. We just have to make sure everyones on board! haha then we will have tuck, JPP, ojomo, and JC. Pretty sick D-front.
At this point I would trade our 1st round picks in 2014, 2015, and 2016 for Clowney. Once in a lifetime type player. He'll be one of the fastest players in the league at 290 lbs lol.

Is there an addon which creates unit frames for offensive mobs nearby? I'm drooling at the thought of having a group of mob unitframes and casting dots on them with mouseover macros.
Hello, having some problems with Weakauras ICD tracking beacuse of Alter Time.
This is the Aura I use to track my Essence of Terror ICD with. It's trigger is Event->Combat Log->Aura Removed. So it activates once my trinket proc runs out and then starts the countdown. The problem is with alter time where my aura is removed for a split second and then refreshed so the timer then is faulty. Anyone know if theres a workaround for this?Code:dWdTdaGEGQAxkqBJcAMaP5sbmBqDzOBcuXHLY3OqgNi1ofL9s2Ts7hi(PIYWqOFtvFMsnukIbRigUeoiq5OkKogI6CuGwiISukrlMsA5s6HuOEQQLPq9CuMOcQPkvtgKPlCrfPRQaEMi66OAJkiBfOkBMkTDr1hbQ0PrAAIW3PegPcXFLOrtrz8uuDsfv3II01qW5b4XuXTb0RfjlYQRduhshsDDZN56YWqzMsojr9OsTTXQ66ScegoRbe1hLtDsHlcbYKUFT5itN55vhKV0qVaUbaR6bGcuhZXn05lMJBOhuGiKoeV2cQF1ttq3BXoBHbis6yoUHUXEGwBbita1BRZ4wXCCJZDDPMRxc2awcwPLtbNzG30H15mSKvGWWznGOiPdHSGV0qVaUbaR6CgwY88QdYxAis6CgwcHSGV0qK03gqKPUYiRpkN6KcxecKjD)AZrMcf6U(n0bdkh3GxrDZqQTzHYssqh23GuxV6Hr11bYHdQ6kuOZzyjmMJWYQoNHLoEGwBHiPq31VXPGpQmYe0HOSc4gGhnNumDqMOxrBQF7akqDQJF1D8EyiVfRiP74H9v1v2ynu6egzusdtqKyIegoMmrdkxtjyOYsQHsKMyY0jnOHehtyCAcJtlxtjqqHolAoPyg73OrxG4g6ZgO)5dpvVXdVSQdyMRlddLzQre1Pq6t9DqMm34H1xoWELABJvMYgRBbfkmtzjjOdHSwWRTafj9geenO(TbxgvQTnwzQRmYQRhvQTnwvxpauG6nETPZ4wXCCJZDDPMRxAmyVx(oyw219wSZwyaIKoMJBOpc2GdZ0zCRyoUHjv0LAU(nzkOGQt3CSYqrsFBarM6kJS(OCQtkCriqM09Rnhzk05ln0lGBaWQoeAL762buG6JmfutgAaqvOZ3OsTTXQ6kuOqhIYkGBaM74x95BGv3MdAG5o(Lza6MxcKYCklYlkJkDtHHolAoPyM4PBOB5CWDKUcDMo5btmOrdMwpxzKtqKOcja
Aww, that's a pity. Boss frames gave me hope that the functions might not be secure after all.
Blizzard specifically provides those UnitID's, which means that clickable frames can be "created" for them - boss1/2/3/4/5 (I believe) are all part of the game's UnitID framework.
UnitID's are given for specific "Boss" units in some fights, Player, Target, Party1/2/3/4, Pet, Focus, Raid1-Raid40, and can usually have "pet" or "target" added to the end (partypet1/2/3/4, raidpet1-raidpet40, partytarget1-4, raidtarget1-40, raidpettarget1-40, etc).
Basically, if a mob isn't being targetting by you, a pet, or a group member, there's no way to create a clickable frame for them.
You can actually append "target" to any valid unitID as often as you'd like. So "partytarget1" should be "party1target".
Exception is made for player names (which are valid unitIDs as long as the player is in your party or raid), where "-target" is used instead.
Hi guys,
So i have just started using weak auras and i'm having a problem with some icons i want to configure. What im trying to do are some icons that show up when my buffs are ready to use (i.e Berserker Rage, Bloodbath, etc) and if i use them, the icon have to hide himself and show up again when the cooldown is <= 5 seconds. Also, I want the icon to glow when the cooldown reaches 0 seconds. Someone helped me and I got the icons working except for the glowing part... I tried many different things but the only glowing effect i found was the one in the actions tab and i don't like how it looks, and I couldn't make it glow just when the cooldown was in 0 seconds...
So my questions are, how can i make an icon glow exactly when the buff cooldown is 0 seconds? and, are there any other glow effects for the icons? something like the glow when you get a proc in the icons in your action bars?
Thanks in advance! and sorry for my bad english :P
That's my problem right now.
I'm rebuilding and suddenly, when I'm trying to apply the 1 pixelborder to my Stuf, it won't move with the frame. It's slightly off everytime.
Any ideas?
*EDIT* never mind! Found it.
The bar offset was set to "1" and "-1", Do'h
Hey, I am searching for a Unit frame that also have a castbar within the Health bar, so that when not casting it aint showing. like it is half transparent, while casting ontop of the health bar. I know it is a vague discription. But I am desperate for this addon.
I've just installed IceHUD to try it out. I really like it so far. I'd like to know if it is possible to set up bars for tracking boss health/power/alternate power and the like?
Seeing as it is possible to create custom modules, I'm basically looking for what to write in the "Unit to track" text field. I'm not familiar with LUA yet, or much of the WoW API, and I'm not sure if I can find a library for it somewhere?
Any help is very much appreciated.
EDIT: I just looked a bit in previous posts in this thread, and saw the replies by Taryble. It works when using "boss1", so thanks!

Sigh...dam it...wrote out this huge thing and lost it due to "you need to log in"
TLDR: Wanted new icon boarders, got Masque, applied it to my buffs as well. I use PitBull 4's aura, tracking to track debuffs. It uses Blizzard icon boarder UI, don't like it, looked around, but no go. Wondering if there was a way to change it, or get a new debuff tracking mod that's not going to clutter my UI, thanks!
Edit: Would have posted links and such to things but I can't, also here's picture of what I mean.
Health frame could be anything, Shadowed Unit frames, Stuf, AG, pitbull.
The yellow healthbars there are defo "Tidy Plates" And minimap is probably "simple minimap" or "Sexymap"
Not sure on the buffbar though.
It doesn't look like any type of compilation I've seen around, it's most likely homemade.
I think I made this for someone during Cataclysm. Let me check.
---------- Post added 2013-02-11 at 09:23 AM ----------
Found it. Here you go. It won't work with some of the API changes since then, however. Give me a second to fix it.
---------- Post added 2013-02-11 at 09:36 AM ----------
All done.
You'll still have to replace all the spell/buff names for the individual potions you want to be allowed at the top as I don't have an active account to check these right now.Code:local buffNames = { ["Earthen Armor"]=true, ["Golem's Strength"]=true, ["Volcanic Power"]=true, ["Tol'vir Agility"]=true, } local spellNames = { -- unsure which one shows in the combat log, so I'm adding both buff name and spell name for the time being ["Earthen Armor"]=true, ["Earthen Potion"]=true, ["Golem's Strength"]=true, ["Golemblood Potion"]=true, ["Mysterious Potion"]=true, ["Potion of Concentration"]=true, ["Concentration"]=true, ["Potion of the Tol'vir"]=true, ["Tol'vir Agility"]=true, ["Volcanic Potion"]=true, ["Volcanic Power"]=true, ["Mighty Rejuvenation Potion"]=true, } local select, table, pairs, tinsert, print = select, table, pairs, tinsert, print local GetUnitName, GetInstanceInfo, UnitBuff, GetNumGroupMembers, UnitInRaid = GetUnitName, GetInstanceInfo, UnitBuff, GetNumGroupMembers, UnitInRaid local a = CreateFrame("Frame") a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) if event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then local subEvent, srcName, spellName = (select(2,...)), (select(5,...)), (select(13,...)) local raidIndex = UnitInRaid(srcName) if subEvent == "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS" and spellNames[spellName] and raidIndex then self.pots = self.pots or {} self.pots[GetUnitName(("raid%d"):format(raidIndex),true)] = spellName end elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then local n = GetNumGroupMembers() local nP=(select(5, GetInstanceInfo())) if nP and (nP >= 10) and (n>0) then self.pots = self.pots and table.wipe(self.pots) or {} self.prepots = self.prepots and table.wipe(self.prepots) or {} for id=1, n do local uID = ("raid%d"):format(id) for buffName in pairs(buffNames) do if UnitBuff(uID, buffName) then self.prepots[GetUnitName(uID,true)] = true break end end end end elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then local n = GetNumGroupMembers() local nP=(select(5, GetInstanceInfo())) if nP and (nP >= 10) and (n>0) then local noprepot, noinpot = {}, {} for id=1, n do local name = GetUnitName(("raid%d"):format(id),true) if not self.prepots[name] then tinsert(noprepot, name) end if not self.pots[name] then tinsert(noinpot, name) end end if (#noprepot>0) then print("Players that did not have a potion buff when combat started: "..table.concat(noprepot, ", ")) else print("Everyone had a potion buff when combat started!") end if (#noinpot>0) then print("Players that did not use a potion in combat: "..table.concat(noinpot, ", ")) else print("Everyone used a potion during combat!") end end end end) a:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED") a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
So im looking for an combat text addon which is in a panel. Should track my healing, damage taken and damage done. Pretty much like in the following picture. (Im new on to forums so i can't post direct links/images)
Does anyone know the addon in the picture? Or something similiar to it?

It's hard to escape the news about climate change, erratic weather patterns, and other natural anomalies that are believed to be the result of ever-increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere. These increasing levels of CO2 are in part a direct result of human activity, specifically, the emission of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil. As the world's largest shipper, we are concerned with the environment and seek to find ways to reduce our own, and our customers', impact on the environment. The first step to controlling that impact is to understand how CO2 is measured.
UPS's emissions measurement services strive to provide industry-leading accuracy and detail. Based upon our actual carbon inventory-that is, the fuel we burn within our uniquely efficient network--we are able to provide detailed and accurate carbon emissions data. Our intent is to provide the best possible estimate, which includes a year-end reconciliation calculation that enhances the precision of our methodology. Our analyses, verified by SGS and certified by The CarbonNeutral Company, can provide details that enable better carbon management. For example, we can specify carbon impact by both mode and scope and offer our customers detailed reports by customized business designations, such as product line, division, or even distribution centre. This level of detail allows you to understand your shipments impact on the environment, and can provide a framework for creating reduction initiatives, monitoring, and improved carbon reporting.
Now that you understand a bit more about the importance of measuring carbon impact, here's how to make sense of the terminology.
Modes: Modes are simply the transport method used to make your shipments.
Scopes: The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) categorizes emissions in terms of Scopes.
Offset the climate impact of your shipment with UPS carbon neutral.

So, do you think I should star a nuc with the queen that I just picked up or with the queen cell in the existing hive?
Printable View
So, do you think I should star a nuc with the queen that I just picked up or with the queen cell in the existing hive?
Hard to say without looking. If the hive is strong enough to make a nuc from it, I would probably nuc the queen and let the cell hatch where it is. If the hive is somewhat weak, I might make a really small mini mating nuc for the queen cell and let the new queen rebuild the hive. If the hive is in trouble, sacrifice the queen cell and install the new queen.
Well, I took the gamble and used my new queen to start a nuc.
Now today when I opened up the old hive, I found two frames with SMB infestation. I guess the hive wasn't strong enough to defend against them.
The new nuc hive is surviving, but I would not say prospering.
I could not find a queen in the original hive but there is some brood larvae in it, but not much.
I am at my wits end.....
You have one strong hive still? You can take outer brood frames and add to the weak ones without hurting the strong one. With bees or without. Often the boost will turn a hive around. Balanced hives helps a lot with robbing as well.
SHB, cardboard sections I have read as being a quick no cost help. Not a problem I deal with much.
Old hive back into a nuc or a follower board (even cardboard follower) and removing empty frames.
New nuc; If your queen lays on day 1, most do not, can be a couple of weeks if it is a banked queen, It is 20 days before hatch, the only bees being added are from the starting frames.
Feeding will help, though I am guessing you are hard into your robbing season. If you feed, a little bit at a time and late in the day.
You have to admit, you are getting a chance to learn beekeeping. It gets easier.
I am thinking about combining the original hive and the nuc I have with the new queen. I don't think the original hive was successful at re-queening, and anyway, the hive is demoralized which is why I think I have the SHB infestation. I have removed the two frames that were infested (they are shot). Interestingly, when I removed those two frames and put them on the frame rack I have, the bees immediately attached the SHB larvae and started dragging them out of the comb and dropping them on the ground. I wonder why they didn't do that when the frames were in the hive????
Anyway, I think maybe the best way to rescue the two hives is to combine them at this point. My other healthy hive is doing great still.
Thank you so much for the advice.
On the 19th the q cell was not capped. Highly unlikely to be laying and yes the hive can be flat without a queen. Your hives and you are the only one seeing them.
I expect they will revive with more time. I would use the strong hive to build the weak hives. Dropping drawn comb into the center or edges of the strong hive brood nest will crank it up to make up for the lost brood. You can also just leave the comb in long enough to get it layed up and move to the weak ones to let them do the work.
Texas keeps, do we need a local correction?

sounds like the back to school bells are still ringing ( and good for her!)
sounds like the back to school bells are still ringing ( and good for her!)
In amidst the discussion of reporters twisting things and putting a spin on things this is a prime example of reporter BS. There's nothing to report!! Sarah says she's sick of answering the same question - will you go for Olympic gold again and that she doesn't understand why she keeps being asked the same question. Then in the next paragraph the reporter writes
"Yet, she also isn't ruling out a comeback to the ice, although she seems set on first finishing school. When the 2010 games open in Vancouver, British Columbia, she will be 24 years old, a year younger than Michelle Kwan was this year before a groin injury forced her to withdraw from the Olympics. Kwan was replaced by Sarah's younger sister Emily, who finished seventh."
How brain dead and stupid can the reporter really be to write that paragraph straight after Sarah's comment???
I don't blame her for being annoyed with the 'same' questions. But then what else can a Reporter ask in the way of a Sport? Skaters lead a sheltered life as children. There are no cocaine stories that we know of.
She's not going back because she won the highest honor? I think it's quite clear to many people that she doesn't have the consistent ability to live up to the standard of her Olympic Gold. That is why she will not be doing any more eligible skating. Her win of the Olympics was a fluke. In my opinion, she should have gone out then, instead of reaffirming a view point that many had after Salt Lake City. It's different from Tara Lipinski, who showed the year prior, that she had the consistency to win major events. I think that she, as opposed to Sarah, should have stayed in it a little longer.
But if she had gone out then, I wouldn't have gotten her autograph, her picture, and had the opportunity to see her skate live in Dallas the following year. So thbthbthbthbthb.Originally Posted by Turandot
Sarah made a choice. That's what we do as humans. Reporters are paid to find a story. There is not much to say here. If I were Sarah I would be annoyed too. If I were a reporter I would try to find out what she is up to. The topic heading is misleading. I thought we would get info on what her plans were.
I don't feel a bit sorry for her. If answering this question is the worst thing that happens to her in her life, she should consider herself a blessed human being. Furthermore, maybe the reporters would stop asking her this, if she gave a more definitive answer. I know, I know ... she's not sure of what she'll do in 2010 ... which is exactly why people are interested.
And just how much school has she attended anyway? Seems to me she has taken quite a bit of time off for someone who has made this her top priority.
I believe that Sarah has completed three semesters...The article is written as if she is a "normal college co-ed"...when, in fact, she has non-attended as much as she has attended. She herself hinted at a "comeback" using MK as an example (age)...so, why is she surprised when the question is asked so often...?? Must be a slow "news day" on Long Island..
Couldn't Sarah just stop giving interviews, if she is sick of the same questions?
Not since the days of Bowman the Showman -- guess it should have been Snowman Bowman.Originally Posted by Joesitz
As someone else mentioned in a Sasha thread, perhaps Sarah is not confirming retirement due to sponsorships. Right now, she is still the last Ladies Olympic Gold Medalist in FS. If she were to retire, the sponsors might not be as interested in her.
I assume you mean that sponsors would be less interested in her as the last American OGM. I'm not so sure that is true. After all, sponsors have been plenty interested in Kristi Yamaguchi -- and she got her OGM over ten years ago. Kristi maintained her popularity by skating well as a pro -- keeping herself in the public eye.Originally Posted by heyang

Author Stonich to sign 'Vacationland' at Turtle Town
On Monday, July 29, Sarah Stonich, author of "These Granite Islands" and "The Ice Chorus," as well as a memoir, "Shelter," will be at Turtle Town Books and Gifts in Nisswa from 2:30-3:30 p.m. to sign copies of her latest, "Vacationland."
"Vacationland" is a collection of stories linked by the characters' experiences at Naledi, a now defunct fishing resort in northern Minnesota. While certain passages of the novel are nostalgic and will engage any Minnesota vacationer with the love of lakes and woods, these characters are finely drawn, some with dark secrets and ambiguous motives.
The book opens with the resort dog dragging in a severed hand in the middle of a frozen Minnesota winter. It is hardly Lake Wobegon, but it's not exactly Fargo either.
Stonich, best-selling author of "These Granite Islands," lives in Minneapolis and spends summers in northeastern Minnesota.
Turtle Town Books & Gifts is located on Main Street, Nisswa. Because of construction, take Highway 371 to the temporary stoplight on the north side of Nisswa.

Help me passing GPEN
I plan to pass the GPEN exam really soon. I would really appreciate if you give me some comprehensive advices. I've heard that real exam a harder than practice ones. These are my concerns:
- what are the most complicate/hard questions? Could you give same example?
- how many types of question could be? by example: command line parameters, screen-shot utility guess, theoretical concepts, etc
- do they give any Law content questions?
- what else should I worry?
I really want to pass it above 90..

[Article]-Video: The 15-Minute Network Pen Test Part 1
We also came up with a new format for EH-Net vids that we hope will become the standard template. Please let us know what you think.
In the near future, look for additional book reviews from Ryan in addition to Part 2 of this video series, other vids and a review of SANS updated 6-day course, Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking, by InGuardians Kevin Johnson. Should be a great year with this fantastic addition to our family.
Welcome into the fray!!
Permanent link: [Article]-Video: The 15-Minute Network Pen Test Part1
There are numerous tools used in the Penetration Testing (pen testing) process, and there are plenty of books that go into how to use the individual tools. There are very few resources that discuss how the tools are used and how to approach the process. When Henry Qin at the Duke University ACM Chapter approached EthicalHacker.net on doing a presentation for his organization on the tools and process of pen testing, I jumped at the opportunity. The following videos encompass the basic outline of what was presented at Duke with some minor changes.
The first video takes the viewer through the initial network recon stage of pen testing and then follows up with actual exploitation using Metasploit. Initially the network is scanned through Nmap, and after some basic discovery and information gathering, the scan continues to Nessus. Nessus is a vulnerability scanning tool that allows the user to analyze a host for vulnerabilities, but also has the ability to export reports. The video then walks the viewer through importing the Nessus vulnerabilities directly into Metasploit in order to determine which Metasploit modules correspond to the Nessus vulnerabilities for the specific host. The module data is then used to compromise a remote Microsoft Windows XP box.
Stay tuned for Part 2 coming very soon.

Three local juveniles are facing multiple charges following an alleged burglary in Sulphur, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said the juveniles — a 15-year-old and two 16-year-old boys — were arrested on March 14.
"Deputies spoke with the victim who said that when he returned home, he observed the three juveniles running behind his house," Myers said Wednesday in a news release. "During further investigation, the victim discovered his safe had been opened and a prescription bottle of hydrocodone pills were stolen along with two packs of cigarettes."
Myers said deputies located the juveniles a few hours later.
All three were booked into the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, theft under $500 and drug possession with intent to distribute.
Detective Glenn Lowery was the lead investigator.

Reviews of this property
The Appartment was great:
- the accomondation (two big rooms, a balcony, nice Bathroom, and a separate Toilette)
- the location (2 min from the Parliament)
- accessibility (Bus station in front of the door, Metro Station 2 minutes away).
Thanks for all Eward.
Very nice and comfortable apartment. We enjoyed the location, the space in the house and the good reception bij the host.
Recommend this nice place to anyone who wants to visit Budapest.
We had a lovely stay at this apartment. Very central to everything, the Parliament Building and Danube less than 5 minutes and the Basillica less than 10 minutes walk.The apartments balcony is lovely to sit out on and gets the morning sun so ideal for orange and a croissant, with food supplies readily available from an Aldi on the corner opposite. Edward was very welcoming and arranged the taxi service from and to the airport very smoothly and also held on to our luggage so that we could enjoy our final day before an evening flight home. Plenty of restaurants nearby. We had an excellent meal at Elvidens near the Basillica and closer to hand are 2 restaurants one Hungarian and one Italian just off a road near the Parliament (right out of apartment and first left by the wine shop). The property has high ceilings and wooden floor and plenty of space, the kitchen is tucked at the back but we didn't really use this much as used the balcony as much as we could. Althhough the apartment is not air conditioned there are two large fans that we made use of when it was hot. There are 3 windows in the living room so the apartment is very light and has good views of other stylish apartments and freedom square from the balcony. The area is very safe. We walked everywhere including across the chain bridge to the palace (although took the funicular to the top of the hill). We also used the metro to get out to Szenchi baths (costs about a pound on the metro -got on at Deak Tur which is then a straight line to the baths). There are tourist tours of the baths that are expensive -include robes and refreshments, but this is not necessary, just pay for the baths ticket and we also got a cabin to change in and leave our stuff -cost was 5000 forints each. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at this apartment.
The location of this apartment in Budapest is excellent, very close to Parliament, Chain Bridge, metro station Kossuth and supermarkets. The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings, a little balcony, modernized and well equippped - even the mattress was comfortable!
The charm of this old building (have fun using the elevator!) lets you forget some minor problems like low water pressure in the bathroom...
Edward is an extremely kind and helpful host, who promptly answered all my questions before and during the stay. He even went to get my visa card which I had left in a shop closeby and sent it to Germany without any charge!
So, all in all, I fully recommend this apartment and especially your host, Edward.
Fantastic stay. Great central location. Beautiful surroundings. Close shopping amenities. Would definitely stay again.
Thank you Edward
Although we've only stayed two nights at Edwards place in Pest, we've enjoyed our stay a lot. Everything was a satisfying, the appartment is located only few minutes from the parliament building and the danube, Its stunning architectural style with the high ceilings and the generous rooms was totally at our taste. Edward is a friendly fellon which took care in reference to our well-being. Nothing to complain at all.
My recommendation: Go to the szechenyi-bath, after a hard night full of part it felt like heaven!
We stayed 4 days in Budapest . Being a family of four including teenagers we really appreciated this spacious , clean, fully equipped and beautiful apartment. The balcony is wonderful. The host is very friendly and flexible, and provided us with all the information we needed. We would like to come back any time and recommend this flat to everyone who is looking for a second home in Budapest with a perfect location.
It is a great apartment in an excellent location. We walked all and seen a lot. Pleasant neighborhood with supermarkets nearby
Het is een goed appartement op een uitstekende locatie. We hebben alles gelopen en een hoop gezien. Prettige wijk met supermarkten in de buurt

Hi all,
Did about a dozen this year. As much as anything just to see how feral nests were being constructed.
-All Vac'ed colonies lost queens, got weak, SHB, lost most. Better results by hand but still lost queens. Best results-capture/cage queen first.
-Expose entire nest before proceeding.
-Get good work area set up, new hive as close as possible, someone to frame the comb as you cut is a godsend. If not just carefully lean comb in corners of plastic bin. Got to find/cage the queen straight away.
-Your emotional state is as important as any other factor in keeping them placid. Strive for calm assertiveness.
-Go thru quickly but smoothly, light, cool smoke as needed, she will run, cut/pull inspect till u get her.
-Cage her w/ a few workers and include her w/ brood comb.
-I don't transfer honeycomb just feed it back to them, or me
-I only save 80%brood comb, install and leave for couple days.
p.s. I built a simple vac. using a soccer ball bag as vac. bag. Ridges in hose will kill B's, smooth inside better.

I'm back.
I don't have the time to go into details on what has transpired since 2002, but let's just say that things are a bit different than they were.
But I don't have any complaints!
I'm back.
I don't have the time to go into details on what has transpired since 2002, but let's just say that things are a bit different than they were.
But I don't have any complaints!
I noticed mascot's comment about tttt now 'forging' other people's accounts. It is pretty clear that Advogato is not meant to be the most securely designed site on the Web, but instead a test of a concept of raph's.
The real question is, is this particular 'hole' easily fixed in an environment that is not meant to be secure? Looking (very briefly) it seems a bit of adjustment might be all that is needed, but it really matters how the Advogato system handles cookie information, and login information during the /acct/certify.html page generation.
And of course, a brute force attack could always be one way to get into an account. However, a brute force attack can be countered various ways, so that would be of only limited access potential.
All in all, most people probably don't feel like there is so much here that needs protecting but it is strange when you lose your innocence how what seems not important suddenly becomes so.
There is change a brewing.
I am way too busy. The company is redesigning (ahem, I'm leading the redesigning of) its network security architecture and authentication system. This is good because we are gaining more control over what gets through the network but unfortunately it coincides with the company's products that I lead development and sales of having a huge sales increase and thus pulling me in two pieces.
There are also so many other pressures at the moment that it seems like the day just doesn't end. I know this phase will pass but it is unlikely for it to get less busy versus actually just increasing more for various reasons.
P.S. raph something is wrong with the logout code. When using IE 5.5 (which is patched), it sometimes logs me out and sometimes doesn't. It may be IE specific but it may not be...I wonder if any other users have this problem?
Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on my engagement. I feel very lucky to have found someone who understands my particular quirks and even thinks they are a positive quality. (Note: It is totally fine to laugh at oneself in public as long as they realize you are trying to be funny ...)
On to other things (because my life is revolving enough around the marriage ceremony that I don't need to clog this space with it too)!
I had an interesting conversation with someone about infrastructure development and the fact that it isn't easy to do well and too many people think they know how to do it than the IQ curves allow. Seriously, major companies are having problems with this area and open source is playing an important part in the overall development. As it always has. I didn't say it was an easy way to make a living though.
Till later.
Word from the kingdom tells the tale that I am now engaged. It seems the story rings true.
In other words, I'm getting hitched boys and girls.
Things have been busy at work. Thus, I have felt like I have had little time to update my diary here.
All in all, everything is going fine. I have both been learning some new techniques through research and working hard to finish an in-house application and get ready for featuritis to start on some of our e-business applications.
Do you feel the heat on your face? That's the speeding electrons coming at you through your view screen. Thanks to that device, you can read my thoughts of the public moment.
Work has been going well. After speedy development, a slow down when the heavy stuff hit and then a pick up as the pieces fell into place, I am in a better place psychologically for finishing this large application.
I still think there is another week left but that's about it. I also think some other projects are just around the bend, which will be pleasant enough.
I wonder how difficult it is to migrate to the Apache 2.0 server module framework...I have heard that the speed up will not be that significant for popular UNIX based platforms. But without any empirical testing done, I will have to wait and see.
Spring is almost here. Now can you figure out my geographic location from that?
The application project is coming along well. Just adding in the last pieces that the users will need for most operations. Then the secondary features will be built in. Once all the above are completed, a demonstration to all involved will be commenced and any additional features or adjustments will occur.
Hopefully I will get this baby off my hands in the next two weeks. Then we have a rigorous testing period and then hopefully another product will be out in the land of users.
While this product is for in-house use only, it has a significant impact on the e-business infrastructure here at this company. The external and internal become the same thing in a new package in the world of digital.
Went away on a mini-vacation, that was definitely nice.
I have been writing code at both the low level bits and bytes level and the higher level 'object' level. It's extremely important to understand when one approach, say memory management of the heap versus GC is the best trade off for a given project. How many times have I heard, "I don't like GC because it is slow" or "Why would I want to bother managing memory when I need this to work now."
The truth is that, like the projects that many of us have to deal with, trade offs always exist and being closed minded is going to hurt you rather than help you many times.
Since software is by definition flexible, projects always evolve and the most difficult aspect can be just to predict where a project is going to lead.
Unfortunately, as the US stock market shows, we humans are not necessarily very good at predicting.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

#TuesdayTease: March 19, 2013
<p>@PlayboyDotCom's Sexy Selfies take center court as March Madness gets underway. </p>
Every year about this time millions of Americans start filling out NCAA college basketball March Madness brackets and they do so usually without the slightest inclination of who's who.
Let's call it an American tradition: people make their picks based on mascots, colors, vague affiliations to family members and sometimes, completely at random.
If you are one of the many Americans feeling lost this morning, unsure which teams to put through, allow Playboy.com to help: not only have we prepared a Bracket Challenge just for you, we've recruited the lovely ladies of @PlayboyDotCom's #TuesdayTease to help.
So if you're still not sure who to pick, just pick the team your favorite #TuesdayTease girl is representing.

The global campaign against Veolia ("Derail Veolia" or "Dump Veolia") is asking this French multinational company to stop providing segregated services to Israeli settlers in the Palestinian occupied territory, and to stop breaking international law by sustaining and maintaining the settlements. All around the world, and throughout the U.S., this company supplies privatized municipal services in the areas of transportation, waste management, water, and energy.
In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli subsidiary of Veolia operates a settler landfill in the occupied Jordan Valley; operates a wastewater treatment plant that services an illegal settlement; and holds shares in a company whose light rail project is designed to connect the city of Jerusalem with illegal settlements around it.

Albert Murray to Speak at Faulkner Centenary Observance
Murray, who received an honorary doctorate from Hamilton at last spring's Commencement ceremony, was born in Alabama and grew up in the South. He studied English at Tuskegee Institute and immersed himself in the works of Faulkner, Hemingway and Mann. It was at Tuskegee where he also cultivated his love of jazz and blues.
The author of several books, includingThe Omni-Americans, South to a Very Old Place, Train Whistle Guitar and The Blue Devils of Nada, Murray has taught at Columbia University, Barnard and the Music Writer's Institute at the Smithsonian Institution.
Earlier this year at the University of Mississippi's Faulkner centenary observance, Murray received a standing ovation from a crowd that included some of the world's most distinguished Faulkner scholars.
As part of the celebration at Hamilton, the film The Long Hot Summer, a Martin Ritts adaptation of Faulkner's comedic novel The Hamlet will also be shown at 8:30 p.m. in the Kirner-Johnson Auditorium.
On Thursday, September 25, William Faulkner would have been 100 year


text: So........for the last several years I have pegged a DE for the Cowboys in Round 1 at some point or another. Last year I wanted JJ Watt.........got blasted for it. Wanted Ryan Kerrigan.........got blasted for it. 2010 I called for Jared Ordick.........got blasted It appeared the Cowboys also were interested but it never seemed to work out. The reasoning? I have been told the position is simply not important. 3-4 DE's dont rush the passer.....I think someone forgot to tell JJ Watt and Ryan Kerrigan. While the lack of pass rush, pressure and QB sacks by our unit other then Ware is fresh on everyone's mind and given what Watt and Kerrigan have shown this year and how a DE can indeed bring that aspect to a 3-4 defense has anyone's mind changed yet?

Couldn't get it loaded. :-(
I had to download a plugin for firefox when it prompted me, it worked after that
It finally loaded, but I couldn't figure out how to make it brake.
I just used my front bumper :lol:
Ya where is the friggin' brake? The instructor called me a ninconpoop! So I pulled his coat over his head and wailed him...:lol:
you have to push the down arrow for brakes and reverse. it takes some getting used to.

So I guess you're ignorant enough to think that "fumble" was not an illegal lateral pass also right? Fans like you are the reason why the league still has refs like this, because you're blind clearly.
Its one without the other nothings happens. If Bob aint running the O dfenses crush Morris but due to hispower unless you committ you don't stop him. They're a good compliment for each other. Funny isn't it that 6 teams already beat the skins. So until they win the division hold on to the kings crown, okay!
I gotta say that Morris is one tough tackle to make. Saw that clearly the first meeting also.
5 times in scoring position, 1 TD, 4 field goal attempts, and 1 miss. That's why they lost.

EAST HAVEN - Police say they areĀ actively investigating a stabbing and a burglary in separate incidents Saturday.
Police were called to a reported assault on Stevens Street just before 8:30 p.m. They found a victim with stab wounds to the leg, who was later transported to Yale New Haven Hospital.
According to a release, a fight broke out when the victim asked another individual to move a vehicle, and the suspect reportedly punched the victim in the face, then stabbed the victim in the leg.
Earlier, a woman returned home just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday to find three males at her home. One of the men allegedly told her a neighbor said she needed new gutters, and the three fled when the woman threatened to call police.
The men reportedly fled in a truck with black letters that said "ROOFING" on the side.
Nothing was reported as missing, according to the release.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call East Haven Police at (203) 468-3820.

He's better at putting up less points against Seattle....proved since this last sunday
Romo is better at throwing 5 INTs in a game. Romo has 2 of those games, Eli has 0.
Spin that Webb young Davis
How is he when his team needs a comeback win???
I like Romo but the real issue with the Cowboys is and always will be JJ. He is a good business man and great for the NFL to a degree but as long as he keeps too mnay fingers in that pie they will never win a SB......
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
When the team needs a comeback win it's been a toss up throughout his career. The reason it doesn't seem that way is because when he fails, he fails tremendously and when he succeeds it's barely a footnote. (4 game winning drives last year, 2 more games where he put his team in position to win, but ST failed).
But I digress. Romo is playing at an all time low right now and over the last few games. May be time to give up on Romo as a QB. It seems as though there is nothing else left in the tank and he seems to be only regressing. We've got good young players for years to come, might as well kickstart the rebuild by going younger at QB.

As President Ransdell noted in his updated guide to Western Kentucky University's
Strategic Plan, Challenging the Spirit, "in the broad context of academic quality,
it is imperative that the fast-changing dimension of Information Technology continue
to be a priority for the University. This is a priority not only in Academic Affairs
but across all divisions of the University. Immediate and convenient access to and
the management of data is critical to an efficient, thriving university community.
It is critical to achievement of a bold vision for a university." WKU's IT systems
underpin nearly every component of the strategic plan.
The goal of WKU's IT Division is to provide our students, faculty, and staff with superior customer service; reliable and timely technical support; state-of-the-art technology tools; comprehensive training; and convenient access to computing and telecommunications resources. The Information Technology Division will continue to place specific emphasis on the use of information technology in student learning, faculty teaching, and staff productivity. We will maintain the national presence for WKU IT that has been established. Finally, we intend to help shape the larger technology discussion occurring in higher education in this country, rather than be shaped by it.

What is a literary classic and why are these classic works important to the world?
A literary classic is a work of the highest excellence that has something important to say about life and/or the human condition and says it with great artistry. A classic, through its enduring presence, has withstood the test of time and is not bound by time, place, or customs. It speaks to us today as forcefully as it spoke to people one hundred or more years ago, and as forcefully as it will speak to people of future generations. For this reason, a classic is said to have universality.
What is known about the life of Homer is based primarily on scholarly speculation, not hard facts. His birth has been dated as far back as 1200 B.C., but based on the style evident in his two major poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, some historians think he lived much later. In fact, a few ancient Greek writers who investigated his life believe that the works attributed to him were actually written by a woman. Some modern critics and others come to a different conclusion: a group of Homer's students or followers, who adapted and lengthened popular ballads of the time, composed both epic poems.
Seven different Greek cities claim that Homer was born within their boundaries, but since scholars cannot even agree whether Homer was an actual person, there is much doubt about these claims.
In the sixth century B.C., the stories of the Trojan War and Odysseus' long journey home were gathered and arranged in the order they are in at present so they could be recited at an Athenian festival. The Odyssey and the Iliad, as we know them, both date from these oral presentations.

Give them some more time, they will improve. At least we know these refs are incompetent but they don't have some sort of bias.
Weren't we all complaining about the refs last year and how one sided they were? We got shafted against GB during the regular season and then they tried to do the same in the playoffs but we didn't give them a chance. It was so clear to us how bias they were and some here were even claimed they could have been bribed. So many pathetic calls (OSI late hit, Jennings fumble, etc.)
ESPN has a clear agenda against these refs. They don't want to see Arizona 3-0 and the Saints 0-3. They don't want to see the Pack 1-2 and Seattle 2-1. They didn't say a single word against the Pack when they beat us in NY. I am tired of seeing these analysts take shots against these refs but stayed silent last year when everything was going in the cash cow teams favor.
These referees might suck right now, but at least they don't CHEAT.

District 20 high school teacher arrested
Bryan Paul Mertz, 40, facing charge of child sexual assault
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Colorado Springs science teacher is under the microscope following allegations of a sexual relationship with one of his students.
Police arrested Bryan Paul Mertz, 40, for an alleged sexual relationship with a student.
Mertz was a science teacher at Air Academy High School for the last 12 years according to a school District 20 spokesperson.
Nanette Anderson said the police investigation was launched following a tip from a student to a school resource officer about a relationship between Mertz and the student.
"We have the program Safe 2 Tell that encourages students to come forward if they know about a situation that is dangerous for themselves or others," said Mertz.
Anderson said Mertz dealt with students between grades 9 - 12.
Mertz was arrested Wednesday but he bonded out of jail.
The school district said this is the first time Mertz had been accused of anything like this and want to assure parents that the proper safety measures were taken.
"(Mertz) would not have been hired if he had not passed a background check," said Anderson with D-20.
Police, though, said Mertz may have tried the same thing with students in the past. They want to hear from anyone with information about Mertz and inappropriate relationships. Call Colorado Springs Police at 444-7000 or Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers 634-STOP (7867.)
