DFCP's Office of School-Linked Services contracts with a number of private non-profit organizations and/or school districts to provide a variety of prevention and support services for youth in New Jersey's public elementary, middle and high schools. As a result, young people, and at times their families, are able to access services such as mental health, employment, substance abuse counseling, preventive health care, violence prevention, learning support, mentorship, teen parent skill development along with recreation.
The School Based Youth Services Program (SBYSP) was started in 1987 to help young people navigate their adolescent years, finish their education, obtain skills leading to employment or continuing education, and graduate healthy and drug free.
Adolescents have numerous concerns and problems. Since a substantial number of teenagers have multiple problems that call for several different services, SBYSP provides an array of employment, health and social services. Services are available to all youth and recreation is provided. In addition to the following core services, each site develops services which respond to local needs, such as on-site child care, so that teen parents can stay in school.
The major services are:
Mental health and family services
Healthy youth development
Access to primary and preventative health services
Substance abuse counseling
Employment services
Pregnancy prevention programs
Learning support services
Family involvement
Referrals to community based services
One-Stop Shopping
SBYSP sites, which are located in each of the 21 counties in or near schools in urban, rural and suburban communities, are open to all youth ages 10-19, and provide services before, during and after school and throughout the summer. The comprehensive "one-stop shopping" design helps break down barriers and bureaucratic roadblocks that too often prevent young people from obtaining services and supports. The program has been extended to younger students in some school districts. Currently there are 93 SBYSP operating in 67 high schools, 18 middle schools and 6 elementary schools.
A recently-completed three-year evaluation of the SBYSP shows that New Jersey's model program is effective in providing services that adolescents use to address their problems. The evaluation was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and conducted by the Academy for Educational Development (AED). The final report from AED concludes that SBYSP has been able to make important differences in the lives of vulnerable students.
Specifically, youth who were involved in SBYSP showed:
Increased educational aspirations and higher accumulation of credits
toward graduation
Diminished feelings of unhappiness, sadness, depression and suicidal thoughts
Improved sleep habits and less worrying
Less destructive behavior and feelings of anger
Decreased use of tobacco and alcohol
More and improved interaction with families and friends
Better use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases

Non-seafood in sea food restaurants should be banned!
Do you think non-seafood dishes in seafood restaurants defeat the purpose of having seafood restaurants?
I�m not talking about the chips with the fish, or the lettuce with the prawns.
I�m talking about whole dishes like lamb chops, roast chicken and beef.
Cooked without a single thing from the sea!
Don�t you think that should be illegal?
And the same applies to all those fish and chip shops that sell savaloy.
Savaloy is not a fish; it is in no way a fish.
I know prawns and lobsters are crustaceans and clams and squid are molluscs, but they live in the sea, so by definition are sea food! Even though by scientific definition they are not fish, but linguistically the term fish can be stretched to include them, but can�t be stretched to include a savaloy!
Do you know of any sea food restaurants, which are truly sea food?
How about fish and chip shops, that actually sell fish and chips instead of something that looks like and is most probably made from a pig�s � .. .

Re: Non-seafood in sea food restaurants should be banned!
Yes, if I go to a Chinese Buffet I expect Chinese food!
May be they can be forgiven to include the odd Japanese dish, or maybe even Malay dishes!
You might even be able to stretch the dishes to all the countries that border China and include Russian, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Laotian, Burmese, Bhutanese, Indian, Nepalese, Pakistani, Afghanistan, Tajik, Kyrgyz, Kazak and Korean. But not sausages from Vienna! Not Pizza or anything else from Italy!
If I wanted that stuff I�d go to an Italian or Austrian buffet, if I go to a Chinese buffet I expect Chinese food!
But onion rings can remain, because I like them.

Re: Non-seafood in sea food restaurants should be banned!
Hi Abdullacohn,
I think that to ban one type of restaurant from selling another type of food would be madness, This would exclude many people, and result in groups of friends or family from being able to go out to eat together. Until fairly recently many of my family would not eat fish of any kind, but they might want to eat at a steak restaurant, What would you rather I say, sorry can't go there because I really don't want to eat steak, we had that home yesterday. But you go there and I'll go next door and have salmon, ring me when your finished and we can maybe meet up for a drink in the pub next door. But after gobbling down my salmon so we have time to meet in the pub, the new rule also means I can't buy the cup of coffee in the pub because they have a licence and must only serve alcohol.
We have had "fish and chip nights" once every couple of months since all our children have been born. In all that time it was only 3 of us that ate the fish. One had saveloy the other had meat pie, all had chips! Maybe I should have been going from one place to another in your world.
You are a very contentious person, it would be really nice to read a post of yours that wasn't. The argument in this case really couldn't hold water!!!

Re: Non-seafood in sea food restaurants should be banned!
I don't see how it's different from a normal restaurant having vegetarian dishes. Just because the dishes are mainly meat doesn't mean that they mustn't have vegetarian dishes. If it's mostly seafood I don't see it as a problem. They probably do it because some groups have a person or two who doesn't like seafood and they'd rather get the group going to their restaurant rather than somewhere else.

IMy husband is allergic to seafood, but I love fish, if they didn't throw an occasional steak or pork loin on the menu we'd never go to one. That said you shouldn't have to rely on it being a "seafood" restaurant to get decent fish. Choose your restaurants wisely and get the best of both worlds.

Re: Non-seafood in sea food restaurants should be banned!
I think we got the point of the rant, but it's just silly. Except for the Kosher deli, where there are religious restrictions, there should be options for people who don't care for and/or cannot eat the house specialty.
Choice is a good thing. If you don't want the lamb chops or whatever, just don't order it.

Department of Revenue to stop scanning sensitive documents
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Revenue announced Monday it will stop scanning sensitive documents during the licensing process.
DOR issued the directive to license offices after pressure from state lawmakers.
According to an internal departmental email, the change in scanning procedures mirrors Senate Bill 252.
Monday afternoon, Gov. Nixon signed the bill into law. The bill has many provisions, but it prohibits the scanning and retaining of certain source documents involved in the issuance of a driver or non-driver license. The policy change took effect as law immediately.
In April, it was discovered the agency's clerks were making electronic copies of applicants' personal documents, such as concealed carry permits and birth certificates.
Republican lawmakers had raised concerns about the potential for people's privacy rights to be violated.
DOR had even sent a list of all concealed carry weapon permit holders to the Social Security Administration.
The new law prohibits the department from keeping copies of such documents and requires the ones it already has gathered to be securely destroyed by the end of this year.
"While the Department has yet to provide adequate answers regarding why so many Missourians' private information was put at risk in the first place, their decision to finally put an end to most scanning shows that the legislature's hard work to protect Missourians' privacy is having a significant impact," said House Speaker Tim Jones in a statement.

Greetings all! Been in lurk mode for a while here, but over the past few weeks, I've been thinking a lot about something. On Thanksgiving day, I consolidated my hives in preparation for the cold weather. I have one hive that was started from a swarm this year that has consistently worked and flew in substantially colder weather than all of the others. On days when my other hives have stayed home and kept warm, these girls consistently are extremely active. While crowding all of the hives together, I put a little window screen on the entrances, for just in case matters. None of my other hives hardly even came and looked out the front door while they were getting moved around. The cold active hive however, produced hundreds of ladies at the front door. This was on a day that was maybe 20 degrees max.
Today, I gave the hives a walk around, and realized that I hadn't ever installed any sort of a top entrance in the active hive. It has a migratory top, and a piece of homasote underneath it. I started cutting away at the homasote to create a top entrance, and all of a sudden, there were hundreds of less than impressed bees checking out the situation. They didn't fly or come after me, but it was evident that they weren't happy.
Is this much activity from a hive in below freezing weather detrimental to their long term success? I wondered if perhaps their propensity to being active in cold weather would lead them to ultimately consume more stores over the winter, and lead them to starvation more quickly. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

May 10, 2009 at 9:19 pm #1236230
Eric BlumensaadtBPL Member
@danepackerLocale: Mojave Desert
I make small weight "sins" when deciding on items I purchase. For example, I do have a Vargo Jet-Ti canister-top stove but I just bought a 0.7 oz. heavier Brunton Flex burner.
Why? Because it has a larger flame ring for more even heating and larger pot stands B/C I use a JetBoil 1.5 L. pot for all my cooking. (Efficiency & fuel savings on long trips) The wider pot suppports make for a much more stable cooking setup.
So there is yet another small "sin", the JetBoil 1.5 L. pot – minus its steel wire handles. I use a very light aluminum pot gripper.
Also, in the kitchen, I use a plastic folding 3-legged gas canister support, again for stability. Ever dumped your entire meal because your stove was wobbly? Hmmmm? Betchya have.
OK, so I like to cook and I "live to eat", not the other way around. A few ounces extra in the kitchen equals faster and better meals.
I do freezer bag PREPARATION of ingrediants but don't like the idea of plasticizers in my food so I cook it in my pot.
Other little "sins"? Carrying MSR Groundhog "Y" cross-sectioned aluminum stakes for far better holding power than the ti stakes that came with my Contrail tent. A teensy bit more weight with no aggravation from popped stakes in loose or rain-soaked ground at 0 Dark Thirty at night. Plus these suckers take a beating when pounded with a rock.
Another "sin" is a Garmin Colorado GPS on some trips where I've never been before. Plus two spare AA lithium batteries.
Finally, my Danner 453 boots. Not running shows by any stretch, but they are SO comfortable on a week long trip. And, having Gore-Tex, they keep my feet dry when it rains all day.
So, yeah, I have a few weight "sins", for which I do my mild repentance with every mile. But "at the end of the day" as the overused saying goes, I like my little venal weight sins more than the discomfort of not having them. Are they much more weight than the left over Cliff bars you have at the end of a trip? likely not.
What are your "Little Weight Sins"? You can confess to Father Eric. 'Twill do ye a lot of good to unburden yer soul, my Son/Daughter. And don't forget to be sending along a wee bit of absolution money to me to be extra sure your sins are forgiven. Now then, do as yer told.May 10, 2009 at 9:28 pm #1500450

@benwoodLocale: flatlands of MO
i have an uco candle lantern that i really like but don't necessarily need.
and i too use boots asolo PM400, considered a big "sin" here. but i like them for the same reasons you mentioned above. not only that, i use full size gaiters as well. i like being able to walk through anything and keep my boots and socks free from mud thorns etc.
however, to save weight, i didn't pack my absolution money. forgive me father for i have umm…. "sinned"May 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm #1500454

I carry photos of my husband with me. Even though I have them on my ipod…I like the big printed ones. I decorate my tent with them. They ride in sandwich bags.
Oh yeah, and I admit it: after years of Snapple bottles I went back to Nalgenes. I like them better. And I realized I was willing to carry the extra ounces.
Guilty? Yes. ;-)May 11, 2009 at 6:09 am #1500486

@aroth87Locale: Missouri Ozarks
I use a Caldera Cone system for my cooking needs. For me a Supercat and foil windscreen work fine, but for the slight weight increase the Caldera Cone makes my life far simpler. I don't have to worry about balancing the pot just right or the windscreen blowing away. It all just works.
I also carry GoLite Y-stakes. I like them for the ridgeline tieouts on my tarp. As stated before, they're a little heavier but for me the peace of mind is worth it. I still use Ti stakes everywhere else.
8'x10' silnylon tarp- I like all the extra coverage even though I only use it as a solo shelter. I like that I have a little room to move around during hard rains and don't have to worry about finding a place to keep my gear dry.
Finally, I just switched to using a Ridgerest after using a GG Nightlight Torso pad. The Nightlight wasn't bad, it just wore out faster than I liked. So I bought a full length Ridgerest, cut it in half, and now have two 36" pads that weigh about 9 oz a piece. That may be more than double the weight of the Nightlight, but it makes a little better pack frame and is a little more comfortable because its a little longer (I'm a taller guy).

@mn-backpackerLocale: Land of 12,000 Loons
Granite Gear Vapor Trail – overkill since the gear in it is < 10 pounds, but I love the comfortable carry
GSI Cascadian cup (1.9 oz) and an GSI nForm bowl (1.5 oz). Yes, I could use my Tibetan Titanium 1100 for cookpot/mug/bowl, but I don't like eating or drinking out of it, and I like to have coffee with my breakfast, or a real cup for a nip of spirits.
2 oz thick fleece pillow case to stuff my clothes into. Not muti-use at all.
1.5 oz 10×20 closed foam sit pad cut from a ridge rest. The earth is hard, so I like cushion between it and my derriere.
So there ya go, 6.9 ounces of stuff I don't need, plus a pack that is at least 1/2 pound more than necessary. I love that we all hike our own hike. :)
EDIT: Even though most of my hiking is with my wife, I also use my Lunar Duo for solo hikes. A 2.5 pound solo shelter – GASP!May 11, 2009 at 6:23 am #1500490

@lost1crocLocale: Midwest
Well I guess you can count the luxuries of Cigars and a little flask of my favorite beverage, those are worthy sins!
I also now take a short mummy aircore. After years of only sleeping on Ridge rests, my shoulders and hips are refreshed on the Big Agnes when I wake up in the morning so that is weight I like carrying. I also know that there maybe slighty lighter stakes than the MSR Groundhogs, but they are industructible and are a no fail, no brainer.
With all the gear I have shed over the years and having gone to strickly tarp/poncho only, I guess that make them forgivable sins!May 11, 2009 at 6:52 am #1500496

I never thought the first time I'd attend confessional would be on a lightweight backpacking forum…with that said, I guess my "sin" would have to be my Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian (trimmed down though…my attempt at justification). There are much lighter packs, but this pack is so comfortable. I did just pick up a Jam2 so I'll wear that when I'm feeling "holy".
My other little "sin" is a Princeton Tec Quad headlamp, not light at all, but it works so well. Again, I also have a Photon Micro style LED for when I need to make a good impression, for appearances sake.
MSR Titan Kettle, my last "sin", I just can't squeeze a good meal out of a Ti-600ml cup, I like boiling a small meal to fill my gut after a long hike, this thing will probably always come with me.May 11, 2009 at 7:12 am #1500498
Father Eric, it has been three days since my last confession.
I sleep in a hammock. I sleep better than at home.
I cook on a Caldera Cone stove. I eat almost as good as home.
I carry my gear in a Six Moon Designs Essence. A half pound heavier than the zpacks Blast 32.
I have invested all my absolution funds into Titanium, but would be happy to contribute my extra Caldera Cone.May 11, 2009 at 9:38 am #1500517

I bring a 2lb DSLR instead of a 8 oz point and shoot, even though I don't have the skills to make use of the DSLR, but I like to pretend I do.
I'll bring a book, because what do you do when you camp alone, and it gets dark at 8:30, but you're not ready to go to bed till 10pm. Star gazing only takes you so far.
This is not so much a weight sin, but I just used my new NeoAir small this weekend, and it feels sinful to spend so much on a sleeping pad, but it was so much better than sleeping on a foam pad it felt like cheating. John Muir would probably make fun of me for being a soft urbanite.May 11, 2009 at 10:35 am #1500535

@valsharLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Oh Father, forgive me for it has been years since I have last confessed my sins and I have recently committed a big UL sin.
I must admit that I have taken my NeoAir pad and converted it into a blow up doll and I have named her Sally.
Oh Father forgive me, but the nights are long and the times are lonely upon the trail and I am weak!
Tell me how many Hail Marys I must cry out and how many turns of the Ti Pray Beads must I do to seek salvation of my soul for the corruption of my Neo Air. :)
Okay, now that I have confessed, the other minor confessions that I have:
I could easily move to something lighter and smaller than my Titan Kettle, but I like that my large MSR fuel canister fits in it, which is another sin because one of those canisters can last me a whole year.
I carry a gravity filter when I know that Aquamira is lighter, but I mentally don't like the idea of chunky water.
I use a Platypus Hydration system when I know that a Playtpus bottle would be lighter, but I enjoy the convience of having a sip of water on demand.
I also carry an aluminum snow stake as a light weight potty trowel vs. using the heel of my shoe or one of my Ti Stakes that I use for my poncho tarp.
Lastly, is it a sin to pee on a squirrel on the side of the trail???

Ah there, now don't we all fell a wee bit closer to the Trail Gods for havin' confessed of our little sins? Of course we do. The spirit is willin' but the flesh is weak and must be given a bit o' leeway from time to time -but only in order to keep the spirit strong.
But Tony, you've done an unnatural act with yer Neo- Air and need to circle yer tent three times and say ten Hail Marys and five Our Fathers for such an affront to Thermarest's designers, who, Heaven knows, never, ever had such a lustful thing in mind when they developed that soft and comforting mattress. (Now how, exactly, did ye accomplish that transformation of yer mattress?)

I am a saint! I have never sinned. I carry only what I think I will want and need, and no more. I once carried a 12lb turkey (pre-cooked) on a trip. Others in my party carried candied yams, bottles of bubbly and lots of other yummy food and drink. We did this to celebrate and make an offering to the trail gods, and the gods were very pleased and blessed us with clear star-studded skies, mild weather and no insects.May 11, 2009 at 3:18 pm #1500606

text: 3:09 p.m. CT -- The final full pads practice at the Senior Bowl is complete. After a few days of game planning all that's left is to play the game on Saturday. Scouts came away impressed with Melvin Ingram today. He's a natural pass rusher who gets a lot of upfield momentum and is stronger than he's given credit for. What position Ingram plays in the NFL is yet to be determined. Is he a defensive end? Outside linebacker? Three technique tackle? The combine will help get us closer to the answer but rest assured, Ingram can be a force at the next level. Louisiana Lafayette cornerback Dwight Bentley had another strong day, as did Chris Rainey of Florida, who continues to prove himself as a playmaker. If he keeps his concentration on the field, he'll make an offensive coordinator in the league happy. It's been great providing SI.com readers live updates from Senior Bowl practices, a rather intense undertaking never previously attempted on the internet from the event. Next up is the analysis of Saturday's game. Let's hope it's a good game. 2:57 p.m. CT -- For all the good play of Cordy Glenn the past three days, few scouts in attendance believe he's a left tackle prospect. He struggled with speed rushers during today's practice. - Chris Rainey of Florida just made a tough reception in underneath coverage after beating the defense for a potential long gainer that Brandon Weeden underthrew. - Weeden just made a magnificent pass to Joe Adams.

"I was fortunate enough to go out on a sunset sail with the Ali Nui. When going out on a Sunset Cruise with this 2 million dollar 65 ft sailing catamaran you can always expect to sail. The night I went out there was a crew of 3 girls who put up that sail and showed off their skills. From the minute you step onto their boat you know it is going to be a luxurious night. They do a nice warm greeting introducing the crew and the boat. They have little bite size appetizers waiting for you as soon as you step inside the cabin with chilled water for your convenience. After you leave the harbor the crew has hot and cold appetizers available. The owner of this boat has an organic farm upcountry and they use all their fresh fruits on board. We had strawberries from their farm as well as fresh lettuce for our salads. That was a nice touch. There was shrimp cocktail as well as short braised ribs that was absolutely delicious. You can order cocktails from the bar as they have a drink menu to choose from. It was a beautiful night and the captain actually let me drive the boat! I had a BLAST! The crew makes sure you have a wonderful evening as they are so helpful in getting more cocktails or taking away all your empty plates and/or drinks throughout the evening. I must mention they will pick up and drop off to your hotel which is a great bonus. If you are looking for just an amazing evening out on the water this would be of my highest recommendations."

Just home from work (21.40) so I'm glad I have leftover Manchurian cauliflower, basmati and spicy green beans. Will have a piece of fruit afterwards if I don't fall asleep beforehand.

Hello everyone I've been away to New Zealand where I had some lovely fish called Tarakihi which I was told is similar to cod or snapper. Yum.
Tonight it's not so exciting - tandoori chicken with salad, avo and cashews.

text: I just won an aution on ebay where I bought a set of 4.10 gears for my 2005 1500 4x4. The description said they were from a 2006 1500 4x4, but described the front diff. as a 10.25" instead of the 8.25" that I believe is in the 06' 1500's. Do you think the guy was just confused or am I wrong in thinking the 06 had the 8.25? I already bought it so there is not much I can do about it, but I got the pair (30,000 Miles) for $150, which I thought was a steal. Thoughts?

Celebrate Vanguard University's Musically Gifted Students at the Music Awards Night on May 3
Music majors and anyone who has participated in a Vanguard University music event will be celebrated on Friday, May 3 at the Department of Music's Music Awards Night. Starting at 7 p.m. in Needham Chapel, this is a night to honor students who have participated in Vanguard University music.
The Chair of the Department of Music, Dr. James L. Melton, will host the event. Dr. Melton will invite faculty to the stage to present awards, recognize their students' accomplishments, and honor the graduating seniors in the Class of 2013.
Awards that were mentioned at the University Awards Chapel in April will be presented to students at this music event. Various other awards will be presented including the most improved student, the student with the most potential, and more.
Part of the night will consist of students gathering in their groups and ensembles to share their work with attendees and fellow music students. Then seniors will "speak some wisdom through a video slideshow" to the underclassmen, Coordinator of Music Events and Concert Operations, Luke Baumgartner, said. The evening will wrap up with some worship and a time of praying and sending out the seniors.
Reflecting on the good work he saw students do this year, Baumgartner said: "Every year, I really look forward to seeing the ministry that happens." He described all of the students, faculty and staff who participate in the Department of Music as one big family. Baumgartner said: "This is really a community that builds into each other."

The Four Dog Defense
The Pesticide Lobbyists use a well-recognized series of lies and delaying tactics to dominate the debate in the Press and on Radio and Television. See if you recognise these techniques being used by people on this Forum.
The classic strategies are: Outright Denial; Smokescreen; Diversions; Sowing Doubt.
Of these 'sowing doubt' is by far the most common and the most effective. Entire teams of university academics are paid large sums to sow doubt in their 'science' papers, all the time, year after year.
Public Relations Specialists are also employed to fill the newspapers, TV chat shows and online forums/ Social media with a daily drip feed of Propaganda. Again, mostly sowing doubt although diversion and denial are also used. Online Forums are by far the most cost effective way to do this - you can bet your bottom dollar that there are paid professionals monitoring this Forum right now, ready to heap scorn, sarcasm and ridicule on anyone who dares to oppose the Poison industry.
Well known public figures are paid or persuaded to make public pronouncements on TV and in the Press, praising the poisoners and condemning objectors as 'hippies', 'conspiracy theorists' and 'back to the Stone Age' green idiots.
These techniques of Pyschological Warfare were perfected decades ago, when the corporations challenged the Science about the human health hazards of :
- Lead,
- Tobacco,
- Abestos
- Food additives like Aspartame, MSG, Bovine Growth Hormone etc.
- PCBs
This is now a $billion dollar industry in every country; in fact, the food industry, the drug industry and the chemical industry could not function without these propaganda experts.
These underhand tactics are known as The Four Dog Defense.
The basic steps of the defence are:
1. My dog does not bite. OUTRIGHT DENIAL - THE BIG LIE
At first, the company denies that its product is harmful. This usually includes attempts to discredit scientific studies, or authors of studies, that show harm while the company generate its own fake-studies designed to show no harm.
NOTE: when Bayer license neonicotinoids in 1992 they stated that it could not possibly harm bees because the neonicotinoids NEVER emerged in pollen and nectar. That was an outright lie - 96% of peer-reviewed Science studies and 10,000,000 dead bee colonies prove the lie.
2. My dog bites, . . . but it didn't bite you. SMOKESCREEN - OBFUSCATION
Pesticide industry concedes that the chemical 'may' be 'potentially' harmful, but insists that bees are not actually exposed to it 'in the real world'.
This argument works best if only the industry carries out tests or monitors for the chemical (they do).
It works even better if you use a 1940s testing methodology, which can never reveal chronic, long term effects
Absence of data is often used to argue that there has been no toxic exposure.
NOTE: Bayer and Syngenta admit that neonics are hyper-toxic to bees, but claim that ' in the field' bees never receive a fatal dose.
3. My dog bit you, but it didn't really hurt you. SPREADING DOUBT
The Pesticide Industry admits that people or wildlife are exposed to the poison, but denies that the exposure caused harm.
Industry concedes that the chemical is harmful, but only at very high doses.
It kills bees, or people, but only under unrealistic test conditions, but not at the lower levels or real-world scenarios to which people or wildlife are actually exposed.
They focus on differences between humans and laboratory animals, alleging that harm such as cancer seen in animal experiments is not relevant to people.
Bayer, Syngenta, Monsanto have all used this argument.
In America, the EPA and various high profile beekeepers are the main spreaders of doubt.
4. My dog bit you, and hurt you, but it wasn't my fault. DIVERSION
Industry admits the chemical is harming bees, but tries to shift the blame onto other people to avoid regulation and liability.
Possible culprits are
- improper use by farmers,
- out-of-date farming practices, defective planting machines, dry weather
- blame other toxic chemicals, bee-medications, or poor bee health
- in the case of bees, the culprits are varroa mites, viruses, poor nutrition, and poor beekeeping.

Hi everyone!
I am new to the forum but have been stumbling across it for a long time! I finally broke down and registered. haha
Anyway, about a year ago, I sculpted a Brotherhood of Steel helmet, molded it, then fabricated finished pieces out of fiberglass backed urethane resin. I've been saving up and finally have enough to start up the full suit sculpture! Everything is sculpted by hand and molded. No pep! I have some pretty awesome plans for it, so even though this isn't Boba Fett... I'd still like input!! I'll be posting pictures here throughout the sculpting, molding, fabrication and finishing, feel free to comment!
Thanks guys!
This is the chest piece sculpted with one of my helmets.. just for looks before molding.
This is the back, prior to sealing and molding
Torso divided up and coated with a detail coat
Front half of the mold done! Now onto the back!

[quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="Roosevelt"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="Roosevelt"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="Morehead State"]
The Morehead hate was so bad I just noticed that they locked the thread out.

I think I've proven my point about the "Eli Cultists". Even when I have a little fun at their expense, I am called every name in the book. The list is too long to show here.

In other words, if you express your view that our SB win was a team win, and not the win of a one man team, you are lamb basted by the kooks.

I was actually surprised how bad it was. Sometimes human beings blow.

Without sarcasm, I am truly depressed by it.

[/quote]You were just flat out owned in your own thread. Thats the real reason youre depressed. I even agree with you to an extent about the team winning the sb. Like the Williams fumbled, Blackburns 2 ff and fumble recovery, his 2 ints. There are multiple examples. But Eli was the "key", like you said, he made it all work, especially during the regular season.
It pisses me off were arguing over just how good Eli is, and not how bad The Giants defense was and ways the Giants should fix it.
Then you have no understanding about what the point was. My problem is not Eli. Eli is a top 5 QB. My problem is that in the mind of the Cultist, if you say anything that they can twist into a threat to Eli's pure greatness, they jump down your throat.

For instance, I mentioned that I thought JPP was one of the best defensive players in the NFL, and this dope buffyblue responds byt telling me to stay on the Eli hate wagon. In his mind, my complimenting JPP, somehow suggests that I think Eli is not the best player on the team. If I say that the defense played well in the playoffs, in thier minds I am saying that Eli isn't the sole reason we won the SB.

I even said that I thought Ben and Eli were at the same level, and then talked about why I thought Ben was a great player. That somehow in their minds is Eli hate even though I just said that Eli was on the same level as a great player in my view.

I mean its nuts the way these people think.

(I can't believe they locked your thread.)
I found it interesting how some were saying it's technology and not the individual that behaves in this (cultist) manner. I've never seen any other player propped up like this. It's truly amazing to see the sensitivity surrounding this guy. Nothing will satisfy them unless you believe he's the second coming.
You get it Rosie. You know what it is out there. Its not about Eli at all. We all love Eli and are glad he's our QB. But you and I knowthats not enough for them.

Exactly. They take everything about Eli way too personally. It seems a bit unhealthy. It's like they have this connection and deep-seeded inferiority complex - one which I don't recall ever seeing before over an athlete. I mean we are not talking about a player like Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordon here.
I thought you made a great point about LT. We knew what we had in LT. We knew he made everyone around him better. But that didn't diminish the effort of his teammates or our appreciation for them.
These Giants, under Tom Coughlin, preach a team approach. But for whatever reason some of Eli's fans have stronger feelings for him over our team.
Its actually a strange vibe from them. Its almost as if they have to make the case that the rest of the team sucks, in order to prop up Eli.

WellI have bad news for them. The rest of our team doesn't suck. I've read posts from guys who complain that JR is always up against the cap. The reason for that is that we have a lot of really good players.

[/quote]first let me say I like Eli and have said in the past he will become the greatest Giant QB of all time before he is done here....But we got a lot of great play from more than just a few Giant playerslast year...Also I expect great play from from a guy getting payed a 100mil plus...I'll leave it at that

There is a god damn big picture when it come to looking at last yearsGiants football...I find it totally ridiculous totry and put the seasons successon one guys play its just plain ludacris...imo its everybody and we have a lot of damn good players on this team not to mention great management/coaching....

History is what it is you can't change it with what ifs ...we won the ****ing SB and it took every ****ing playfor every ****ing player

This board is polar big time and to be honest I don't care for it more often than not discussions thatstart out ok ture into name callingpissing matches...Some time I can read the **** and sometimes I can't ....The Eli stuff is just plain****ing old....I'm sorry

I'mnot trying totell any one how to post around here or what to post... knock yourself out...thats what MB's are for... right? sorry for the rant and forbeing a bit of a party pooper...Antagonism is hostility that results in active resistance.... I not a fan

I'm outta here

edit: I will say this tho the stupid ****s let themselfs get trolled every time...crazy

Town Square
Woodland Ave safety issue -- sidewalks needed
Original post made by OBSERVING, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on Jun 20, 2007
The group gathered 49 signatures from all the homes along this part of Woodland, which was 100% of all the homes in that area.
Ok, there is indeed a need. The City behind the scenes was made aware of the situation; the estimate of $200,000 for the project was already in hand from interim City Manger Kent Steffens.
Let me propose that rather than just gathering 49 signatures, each of the homeowners pay $2000.00 which would amount to about $100,000 or about 1/2 of the cost of the project. After all, they all bought homes in the area knowing there were no sidewalks; they are looking for an improvement to the neighborhood, but should they not be willing to pay for say 1/2 the cost of this improvement?
If you happen to be in an area which did not have sewer service and the city improves to providing that service, generally an assessment district will be setup and each homeowner would be required to pay an assessment for that service. This seems fair, and I would think it would likewise be fair in the case of new sidewalks as well.

I believe there is a problem in that area, and also a huge problem along Santa Cruz where there are many more children and us older people walking in the street with cars barreling by at high speeds. I deeply hope the city will not delay fixing the problems along major streets.
One problem the city can do that is relatively inexpensive - regularly remind people to trim bushes and trees that make visibility difficult and pedestrian and bike travel quite unsafe. This includes downtown intersections and around the library parking lot.

If you really want to be fair, Observing, then the city needs to go back to everyone else out there who has a "free" sidewalk in front of their house and ask for 1/2 the original cost of that installation.
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Jun 22, 2007 at 7:31 am
We had to pay when our sidewalk was replaced. I thought that homeowners were responsible for maintaining their sidewalks.

Safety is important.
I thought projects like this had to go through a cycle of prioritation along with other projects in the annual Capital Imnprovement Projects of the council. We had to wait 2 years to get through this for improvements in our neighborhood.

Here are some of the FAQ´s (Frequently Asked Questions) people have raised with us. If you have a different question, please ask here.
No. Setting up your "Add to TomTom" button using one of the wizards really is easy to do. You do need to have access to your site templates either directly or indirectly to make the button appear on your websie. But we do advise not using the Advanced User options unless you are experienced in IT.
We´ve tested this by asking non-technical colleagues to be ´guinea pigs´. On average, the whole process takes:
1 minute to complete a single-address button
3 minutes to complete a multiple-address or route-description button
But it does depend on a few factors. For example, if you want to customise your icon or if you have a ready-made POI-file.
On average, less than 30 seconds. Even without a broadband internet connection, the download should not take more than 1 minute.
Very little. Normally less than 25 KB. A TomTom device has at least 512 MB memory (most have much more). So this really isn't an issue for any TomTom user.
Following the Advanced Users manual does offer the possibility of a few extra features, though the differences are not significant.
Yes. The downloaded route becomes an itinerary on the device. This means that points on your route will be TomTom waypoints and kept in the order specified by you. However, the user can change the order of your waypoints on their TomTom device if they wish to. Their TomTom device will also integrate certain other navigation features where necessary. For example, if your route includes unpaved routes, the TomTom device will ask if the user wants to avoid the unpaved roads.
Yes. You can put as many "Add to TomTom" buttons on your website as you like. But we advise you think carefully about the optimal place to add buttons on your site. In many cases, this will mean simply having a single button on your Home Page. But for some sites, you may wish to have additional "Add to TomTom" buttons on different pages, offering an address, POI set or route description related to the content of that specific page.
Yes, we believe so. TomTom is the world's leading maker of portable navigation devices (PND's). "Add to TomTom" buttons will become increasingly common on websites. But for now, you can give your customers something that your rivals may not yet be offering them. It simply makes commercial sense to have an "Add to TomTom" button on your website. Especially as it's FREE.

There are only a few Windows 8 laptops in production that we can consider to be the 'high end', machines with exacting build quality and specifications to match. While many PC makers are content to push out hum drum machines with middling specs and so so performance the same cannot be said for Lenovo and their ThinkPad range. Over the years their quality and reliability have become legend amongst the most demanding of laptop buyers.
The ThinkPad X1 comes in a body woven from Carbon fibre in a style similar to that of the current crop of Ultrabooks. Lenovo seems keen on finally shunting the look of their machines forwards and have recently adopted Chicklet keyboards and of course the wedge shape body design we have all come to recognize of late. I'll be kicking the tires on the X1 to see how well Lenovo have melded the heritage of ThinkPad with the modern styling of an Ultrabook.

DAV gifts handicapped parking signs to Pine River Fairgrounds
The Crow Wing County Chapter 22 Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Association donated six handicapped signs to the Pine River fairgrounds a month before the Cass County Fair.
DAV chapter commander Ed Nelson said that, though the signs could be used by anyone with the proper identification, there could possibly be disabled veterans at the fair who could benefit from them.
Crow Wing County Chapter 22 is a community based veterans service association helping veterans and families of veterans in the greater Brainerd lakes area. The group meets the third Thursday of each month at the VFW Clubrooms in Brainerd.

Crow Wing County Board tables reorganization plan eliminating two elected positions
Crow Wing County commissioners voted 3-1 to table a reorganization plan calling for elimination of two elected county officials.
The vote came after state Reps. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, and Joe Radinovich, DFL-Crosby, both said the county should take more time in considering the issue.
The county board needs the backing of a state legislator to pursue the special legislation needed for the change.
Administrator Tim Houle proposed a county government reorganization plan eliminating the elected positions of auditor-treasurer and county recorder. Instead, Houle suggested, the county could appoint staff members to do the work.
A resolution before the county board would have asked Sen. Carrie Ruud, R-Breezy Point, Ward or Radinovich forward a bill in the Senate and House supporting the special legislation.
The three state legislators met with Houle and were given information on the reorganization plan. A super majority, 80 percent, of the county board is needed to adopt the resolution. A reverse referendum gives the people a chance to change the measure. If 10 percent of the registered voters of the county sign a petition, the question would go to regular or special election. Houle's proposal would move the duties of both offices into other departments.
Ward said he's heard the anticipated savings from such a move range from $9,000 to more than $100,000 leaving him wondering which is the accurate number. While there is a need to look at shared responsibilities, Ward said it also needs to be done in a wise way and he likes the checks and balances the current system allows. The proposed change, Ward said, needs to be looked at more closely and more delicately.
The feedback from constituents to date has a majority leaning toward elected rather than appointed for a number of reasons, Ward said, looking at email he's received on the subject. And with a new board member arriving in January, Ward said he thought it would be wise to allow the new board to discuss the issue at length. Other options may include changing legislation to allow the county to make the change without going through the state process.
"Is that a possibility?" Ward asked. "Those are some questions I have."
Commissioner Paul Thiede said the idea has been advanced relatively quickly. Thiede said he thought it was fair to ask if they would carry the legislation if the board advanced the resolution. If they didn't want to touch it the subject would be moot, Thiede said.
If the legislators introduced it, the board still wouldn't have to end up voting in favor, Thiede said. He said keeping the proposal going is a way to elevate interest in the discussion. Radinovich said he suspects he would be upset if he carried special legislation forward and the board wasn't going to vote on it.
"I think the county board needs more time. I think the county constituents need more time. I think we at the state level need more time," Ward said.
Radinovich said he was in similar thinking as Ward.
"I would like more time to talk to the officers principally affected by this proposed legislation. I haven't had the opportunity to do that yet ... At this point I would say for me personally I don't particularly have strong feelings either way. I'd like to hear a complete argument," Radinovich said, adding he hasn't received a lot of comments from future constituents so far. "I'm in a similar position right now where I'd like to take a wait and see approach."
Ward asked if the board considered putting the proposition up to the voters. Thiede said reorganization in Land Services and Community Services has gone on without going to voters and the board will stand for election based on the success or failure of those ventures.
"This needs to be fully vetted and in my opinion it hasn't been," Ward said. "Fully vetted to me means everybody is engaged. Everybody that is impacted is participating and I don't know that that is happening."
Ward said in talking to staff and constituents, some people in the departments have been involved while others haven't been, especially the folks with knowledge critical to the proposition. Ward said talking to staff in the recorder's office but not the recorder about it is problematic to him.
Houle said he met with Laureen Borden, auditor-treasurer, and Kathy Ludenia, recorder, individually, with supervisors and hosted three information sessions at lunch, which was also recorded in case people were missing those days.
Commissioner Rosemary Franzen moved to table the reorganization. Commissioner Phil Trusty seconded. Thiede opposed and Chairman Doug Houge was in favor of tabling the motion until a full board was present.

Xintiandi (新天地 – New Heaven and Earth) is a rather cosmopolitan area of Shanghai with restored shikumen ("stone gate") houses which facade some of the town's most upper crust cafe's, restaurants, bars, and shops.
It's a cool place to hang out, especially in summer with the various outdoor eating and drinking options. While the area has been restored beautifully, its a celebration of the architecture of yesteryear mixed with Starbucks. That's not to say its not worth visiting. However, if you are after old houses that people still live in, then you may want to look elsewhere around town.
If you live in Shanghai, no doubt you already know all of this. If you're looking to visit Shanghai, whack Xintiandi on the itinerary for your trip.
What: Xintiandi (Chinese: 新天地; pinyin: xīn tiān dì)
Where: Taicang Lu, Xintiandi is a good place to start. From Shanghai Metro Line 1 get off at South Huangpi Road station and walk south on South Huangpi Road or Madang Road.
How Much: Nothing to walk around, bring your wallet to at and drink, or visit the First Conference of the Communist Party of China.


text: Jerry Jones is a goober and I don't like him but overall I would have to say he has been a good owner for Dallas Cowboys. He took over and abysmal team, rebuilt them with many thanks to the Herschel Walker trade and won 3 SuperBiwls in 4 years with probably the best all around team in Dallas Cowboys history. I am very happy that Dallas Cowboys haven't won anything in decades and I hate them more than any other team although San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are a cloae second. Jerry Jones makes a lot of stupid comments and is fun to make fun of. I think he os too involved in the actual day to day football operations of the team. However, I would have to say that overall he has been a goos owner for Dallas Cowboys and has been successful during his time there. Of course, our owner John Mara is Best owner in NFL

Twitter introduces ads targeted at words in tweets
Twitter is introducing a feature that lets advertisers target ads based on words that appear in users' tweets.
Twitter said in a blog post Wednesday that users won't see any difference in their use of Twitter and the change doesn't mean ads will show up more frequently.
Rather, Twitter says this keyword targeting will bring its users ads that are more relevant to them. For example if someone writes a tweet about a band they like, they might see an ad about the band's upcoming concert nearby.
Twitter is privately held and doesn't disclose revenue figures. Research firm eMarketer, however, expects the San Francisco company's worldwide ad revenue to hit $583 million this year. Next year it is expected to grow to nearly $1 billion.

We have championed the beauty of a colored wedding dress for a long time. White will forever be classic and beautiful, but there's something undeniable about the appeal of an unexpected hue in a sea of ivory.
Every so often, fabulous, non-white gowns grace the bridal fashion week runways and everyone takes notice. But when an entire line is shown in vibrant shades of pink and red, it changes the entire wedding-dress conversation. Take, for example, Vera Wang's Fall 2014 wedding dress collection. Classic silhouettes like mermaid skirts and A-line waists were transformed by Wang's use of vivid shades of grapefruit, fuchsia, and lilac. The bold colors made a big splash, even catching the attention of a celebrity: Kaley Cuoco Sweeting donned a gown from the collection when she married Ryan Sweeting in December.
Brides with fun-loving, whimsical personalities like Cuoco Sweeting will similarly fall in love with the multitude of colored wedding dresses that have popped up in the past few seasons. From a delicate purple Jenny Packham for a more classic bride to a ladylike mint green tulle confection by Monique Lhuillier that will satisfy preppy girls, the best non-white dresses feel perfectly bridal while bringing personality and individual style to the forefront. They can also become a wedding centerpiece and dictate the entire style and color palette.
