Looking to know if any of you guys have tried this before.
I am think of making a foundation mold where I can set the wired frame over the mold so the wires rest on the lower part of the mold. The mold would have to be sized to fit snug inside the frame so the wires rest lightly where the wax will be poured. Then pour in the wax and place the top of the mold inside the frame and press down. I accept that the volume of the wax will have to be controlled so that the foundation will not be overly thick.
Then when cool lift out the top of the mold out of the frame and then lift the frame from the bottom of the foundation mold.
Any body tried this idea?

IDS / IPS software for Lab
This isn't a hacking query of such although it is understanding security in order to defend against hackers.
So I've gained real world exposure monitoring IPS systems although I've never had the chance to implement one and I am a firm believer of understanding the guts of a system.
So my question to you is does anyone know of any good free IPS software which can be configured and tweaked and whatnot which are as robust as one used within an enterprise and runs on windows 7?
I am currently getting my head around Snort although a network manager told me its legacy. Its seems like the only option in my eyes although I am still searching.
Any thoughts are welcome as ever!

Urea, among other things, may help to reduce the pollution spewing from diesel engines
An all-too-common sight is a big diesel truck belching black smoke into the air. So it's a good thing that the 2004 model year ushered in some tougher U.S. standards for diesel emissions and that the regulations slated for the next few years will become even more restrictive. The designers of diesel engines have thus been hard at work trying to limit the various pollutants given off. One promising tactic uses, strangely enough, a small on-board supply of urea, the major component in some fertilizers and, of course, in urine.
The 2003 model cars, light trucks and SUVs with diesel engines were allowed to produce about a tenth of a gram of particulate matter for each mile driven, but the EPA standards for 2004 call for 0.02 gram or less. Particulate emissions from heavy-duty truck engines will be slashed too (in stages), from the current limit of 0.1 gram per horsepower-hour to one-tenth of that level, beginning with the 2007 models. Regulators are also clamping down on this form of pollution in Europe, where diesel-powered cars are expected soon to outsell those with gasoline engines. And some localities have begun waging a war against sooty diesel exhausts on their own. Last October, for example, the city of Tokyo began a mandatory program to retrofit older diesel trucks and buses with filters to control particulate emissions.
Several car makers, including Peugeot and Mercedes, are outfitting some of their new diesel models with such filters. This approach is not new—Mercedes sold diesel cars with particulate filters in California two decades ago but then abandoned this scheme because of technical difficulties in getting it to work reliably.
Some particulate filters use catalysts to oxidize the trapped carbon continuously, whereas others are designed to cycle up periodically to high temperatures, allowing the accumulated carbon to be quickly burned off. Engine designers can also limit the particulates created in the first place by lowering the fuel-to-air ratio in the combustion chamber of a diesel. But that may not be a particularly good answer to the problem, as Nigel Clark, an expert on alternative fuels, engines and emissions at West Virginia University, explains: "What you do to reduce particulate matter produces oxides of nitrogen and vice versa." Indeed, the invisible oxides of nitrogen (a combination of different gases, often labeled just NOx) are in some ways more of a problem than is the unsightly black smoke. Gasoline engines also produce NOx, but the catalytic converters under our cars remove these gases quite effectively. Unfortunately, such devices cannot be used for diesels, which contain too much oxygen in their exhaust streams for the catalysts to function properly.
Beginning in 2007, the EPA will begin phasing in standards that call for an order-of-magnitude reduction in NOx emissions from heavy-duty diesels. How engine makers will achieve that highly reduced level is unclear. One promising approach is called selective catalytic reduction. It works by combining the NOx-rich exhaust with ammonia. These gases combine to form nitrogen and water vapor, which can then be released harmlessly into the atmosphere. Of course, ammonia is a poisonous gas, so one doesn't want too much of it leaking out of tailpipes. And having diesel cars and trucks zooming around with tanks of poison gas probably isn't a great idea either, which is why today's prototypes are instead using liquid urea, which can be easily converted to ammonia on board the vehicle.
Europe seems poised to adopt this technology, which would require truckers to fill up auxiliary tanks (about 5 percent of the size of their fuel tanks) with a urea-water solution. Policy makers in the United States are, however, more hesitant to pursue this approach, which they regard as being difficult to implement (there being not much of a urea-distribution network in place) as well as difficult to police (there being no clear incentive for drivers to top up their urea tanks when they refuel). But maybe the regulators are selling truckers short. Drivers of big rigs probably care about problems with air quality as much as the next person, and some might well welcome the opportunity to contribute personally to the solution.—David Schneider

Hi folks,
Thought it was about time I dropped in and dropped off another oddball question for the forum to chew on.
Do we have any botanists on the list?
I'm considering adding a few Foxglove and Great Blue Lobelia plants to our English Garden in the front of the house, but both are toxic to humans; especially Foxglove.
I'd like to know:
a) Are the toxins present in the nectar of these flowers?
b) There are rumours about that claim that the girls somehow 'process' the toxins out of the nectar of human-poisonous flowers when making honey. Is there any truth to this?

Erasure Offer A Little Respect (HMI Redux) to Support LGBTQ Youth
I make no bones about my love for Erasure, and yes I've told the story time and time again about how I was raised super conservative Catholic, etc... yet my dad loved all up on the duo and in turn, we now find this beast able to sing along to every word of every song from 'em. So in getting word that Andy Bell and Vince Clarke have come together again with a special refix of one of their most popular hits, and to top it off, it's done to support a youth community in need of some extra hugs and lovin', well, color me ecstatic.
Proceeds from the track will be donated to The Hetrick-Martin Institute, the home of the Harvey Milk High School, in New York, and the True Colors Fund. The Hetrick-Martin Institute, the nation's oldest and largest LGBTQ youth service organization, provides a safe and supportive environment to all young people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity so that they can achieve their full potential.
A Little Respect (HMI Redux) features a youth chorus from the Hetrick-Martin Institute who also appear in the music video, directed by filmmaker Jason Stein.

Angler & his dog fishing a riffle on the Yellowstone River below Living
An angler fly casts for rainbow and brown trout on the Yellowstone River below the town of Livingston Montana. The river was warm (72 F; 22 C), and fishing was poor, as trout don't feed very much at such high temperatures, because they have insufficient oxygen to digest their food.

they were more than happy to let us help them run the clock out.
poor game-plan.
that is the coaching i am referring to.
i'm not saying they don't have knowledge of X's and O's.
that's not the the same as being an excellent strategist or adjusting and thinking on your feet.
this staff sucks at that stuff.
they know how to run a slant....or whatever play you can name.....they just have no clue as to the "when"
or against which team or players.
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
Like you said defense are going to start playing man and make it difficult for RG3 to make his first read and then they will just go straight at him and hit him on every play. What kills me is this defense has the speed to stop this guy with our DE and they get fooled everytime with that option gimmick offense. Osi should realize if he is unblocked that Griffen is going to run and not over persue and keep him contain till helps from the linebackers come.Tuck don't even get me started with him he just totally gives up when RG3 makes it to the edge. I cannot tell you how many times I saw that on Monday night.
It's really sad that Tuck is rubbing off on JPP. JPP is how old 23-24,,,,and Tuck teaches him this negative and uninspired play. JPP used to have a motor that was bar none. Now it's like well if the CAPTAIN of the team is giving up chasing this guy I might as well too. We need some nice new young hungry players cause TUCK and Osi have done it all and are ready to retire. Sad cause Tuck is 29 and should want to be one of the Giants great but he'll never get there cause of his attitude. Could you imagine Strahan praising RG3 like Tuck and Osi did....NO way he would. I heard Strahan left like 2 seconds after the game he was probably sick of the love fest that was going on in the middle of the field. Tuck makes me sick he never even talked about Eli like he talks about RG3.
Luck is dedicated to play the quarterback position and finding out all the nuances of reading defense and changing plays... not making subway commercials. It's sad that Luck is being overshadowed by RG3 with The Redskins taylored their whole offense to RG3 and like you said Luck is going through the growing pains of playing the quarterback position. Everyone compares RG3 numbers to Luck but fail to realize that Luck has an aggressive downfield vertical passing game kind of like ours. To me luck should win rookie of the year. You see that Luck can make plays with his feet but does it as the last resort after he goes through all his progressions.

But neither you or I have examined film on the Wash. defense. They don't rely on overly simplistic facts like "they are 31st against the pass". They actually study their strengths and weaknesses based on real thing other than stats created for fans.
So to answer your question, I really don't know what they should have done because I haven't studied the Wash. defense play by play, throughout the year. I also don't know what adjustments they made for this game against us.
Of course neither do you.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
there are many QBs in the league who are not allowed audible responsibility
there may even be less QBs allowed this responsibility than ones that are
Michael Vick is among those who is given a play....and he runs that play
when you see most of these QBs barking at the line before a cadence they are adjusting protections not changing plays
....and Eli has access to the whole game plan when at the line not only the plays sent into his ear piece

Window Blinds & Shades –Necessary Items in your New Home
Having one's own home is everybody's dream. Whether you are from different parts of the world, everyone strives to possess a home. For that home, a person has various things in mind, what he will want and do not want in his new home. The location of the house is one of the main issues that one has to decide much before purchasing a house. A person thinks twice before purchasing a house and checks each and every thing about the house before buying the home. Some may want to buy in an established urban city while others love to have a house on the countryside. Some people love to live on hills while others prefer to live in a house that faces the sea. If you are one who loves to have a waterfront home that is also very near to the beach, then the location of Virginia Beach is the town best suited for you to have a home.
If you decide to purchase a waterfront home in Virginia Beach, then you will have a large number of windows on the wall of the house that is facing the sea. They will offer great views of the water and allow you to enjoy the sea anytime right from inside of your house, but be cautious of any passerby. Sometimes people on the beach may observe your home more than the sand and beaches. It is therefore, needed to cover the windows and glass walls, if there are, either partially or fully to avoid people peeping into your house. You may use blinds or shades to prevent casual onlookers view the interiors of your house. There are various types of blinds and shades available in the market that can be used by you to block the view as well as add aesthetic design to your home interiors.
There are various kinds of blinds and shades which are available in different colors so that you can match the color of the blind or shade with the colors of your interiors. Blinds are also available in different forms like vertical blind, horizontal blind, venetian blind, slat blinds, cellular blinds, and pleated blinds. These blinds are also available in various kinds of materials like fabric, wood, faux wood and in a number of man-made materials. You can choose any of the former mentioned types of blind in the material you want. You also can go for blinds in various designs and patterns as per the interior design of your home. For example, you can have floral printed blinds to complement the plain look of the furniture in the room. You can use blinds and shades in multiple ways to block sunlight entering your home, to hinder spectators viewing inside your home and giving a new look to interiors of your home. Whatever the reason, window blinds and shades can be of great use in a home in any part of the globe.

5 course wine dinner with the Classic Wineseller
The Haywood County Chamber of Commerce will be holding its ninth annual Mélange in the Mountains event throughout the weekend to offer the finest culinary treats the county has to offer.
The gala event from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. April 11 at The Laurel Ridge Country Club will give residents and visitors a chance to taste a little bit of everything while giving area chefs an opportunity to showcase their talents.
Some of those participating include Sunburst on Montgomery, The Gateway Club, The Sweet Onion, Frog's Leap Public House, City Bakery, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, Laurel Ridge Country Club, Waynesville Inn, Pisgah Inn, Lake Junaluska, The Herren House, Bocelli's and more.
Contest participants will be recognized for the top three placements in each category, an award for overall culinary excellence and a people's choice award.
To further promote Haywood County as a culinary destination, the Gala event will extend into a culinary weekend filled with a wealth of specialty dinners, culinary demos, tastings and pairings hosted by Mélange of the Mountains participating restaurants and vendors.
These ticketed, reservations-required and specially created events provide attendees the opportunity to further become acquainted with their favorite restaurants over the weekend, April 12-13. For a full list of participating restaurants and vendors, visit HaywoodChamber.com.
Sunburst on Montgomery, a specialty food market, will not be a part of the competition but will be holding a Champagne & Caviar Tasting from 3-5 p.m. April 13 for $15 a person.
Manager Katie Hughes said the sampling would include Infinito Italian rossi and Shelton Vineyard sparkling white wine along with a small tasting spoon with a dollop of original caviar, cucumber slices with Spinning Spider Goat Cheese. The market also will be sampling blood orange infused caviar, creme fraiche on cornmeal blini, purple onion, capers and hickory smoked caviar.
Frog's Leap Public House will be participating in the event for the third year. Last year, Frog's Leap chef Kaighn Raymond was one of the judges during the competition. He has been an executive chef for more than 20 years and worked at numerous restaurants in Atlanta before relocating to Waynesville.
"It's a great event and allows chefs to showcase themselves and their restaurants," he said. "We need to build on the event to bring more people to the area and make it a destination — the more the better."
Since Frog's Leap is a farm to table restaurant, Raymond said he is waiting for the freshest ingredients available for the Mélange event.
"I hope to have spring ingredients but the recent weather may change it," he said about the menu.
Frogs Leap will be holding a Farm to Fork dinner on Friday, April 12 for $50 per person. To make reservations, call 456-1945.
The Herren House owner Michelle Briggs said she would be hosting a five-course wine dinner on April 13 with the help of The Classic Wineseller. To make reservations, call 452-7837. During the event she will be serving homemade pimento cheese paninis, chocolate truffles and curried shrimp.
In addition to all the food, local breweries Bearwaters, Frog Level and Tipping Point Tavern will be on hand to offer samples of their frothy creations.
Tickets for the gala are $35 for Chamber members and $40 for non-members. The Chamber will also have VIP upgraded tickets, available for $60, which includes early entry into the competition to view the chefs in action. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

While oil's to commend for the commercial sheen and high-rise shine of Dallas, the Southwest city owes the bulk of its recent buzz to an influx of subterranean bars and chic boutiques. Home to 1.2 million people and too many businesses to count, the "Big D" is a cosmopolitan blend of traditional Texan taste and New Urbanism: Skyscraper bistros give way to the art studios of Dragon Street, where the scent of slow-cooked barbecue still wafts nostalgically through the air.
The Digs
Centrally located in the North Dallas Park Central Business District, the all-suite Wyndham Dallas Park Central Hotel marries convenience with hospitality. Spacious accommodations offer a mini fridge, wet bar, and plenty of room to unwind, while perks like in-room movies and Wi-Fi provide delightful distractions. After indulging in the delicious eats of nearby Restaurant Row, burn off extra calories at the on-site fitness center or catch up on business obligations in the 24-hour business center.

text: Well with my insomnia kicking in, I was doing a search on fett boots and a couple of names came up, MC and JW. I know MC boots are the mark cheng, but I have never heard of the JW boots before tonight. I was reading a few threads from 2006 that mentioned these two boots, and I am guessing that they helped get the boots sold to members but did not actually make them. Do either of these guys post on the boards anymore? Would they ever consider doing the boots again? I know it was probably big balls, but having more than 2 people that make a quality boot can only help the members here ( especially people like me that have gunboats for feet.)

Here's my two cents on this list:
I live close to Sol and have a similar climate, but I treat for v. mites (with either Thymol or Hopguard) and also use fumigillin going into winter. (I know this is the treatment free forum, and I'm not advocating treating. I'm just giving context to my list of observations.)
Wax moths destroy my comb in the blink of an eye if it's off the hive and had any pollen or brood in it. I HATE WAX MOTHS!!!!! When I extract, I can't seem to rotate it into the freezer fast enough to save it all. There's a turkey in there that I need to cook to make more room for frames. We have the same problem. Also, I had some real experts (Jim Tew and Kim Flottum) tell me that wax moths won't bother frames if they are left exposed to light. That may work in Ohio, but it does not work in Oklahoma. I think it depends on temperature -- if its hot enough, they will eat frames in full sun.
However, if I've got an active hive to put come on, the comb is safe, even if the hive is relatively small. So that's similar too. If a hive gets really weak, then I have seen moths work on the outside frames.
I have upper entrance holes on some hives. I don't think it makes any difference to anything at all, one way or the other, so far as I can tell.
Haven't seen any CCD.
No varroa crashes, but I've had some that I'm really sure were about to crash before I treated. Lots of deformed bees. Other hives seem to keep the population of mites down on their own and those are also my best hives.
Never seen AFB, but had one isolated case of EFB that cleared up on its own.
Have a few SHB but not many and I do not use traps or need to. I think the soil type and sunlight to the hive make a big difference. I've got extremely heavy clay soil where I keep my hives. I could make bricks out of the soil at my house. A person I mentor has a hive in a garden area with amended loamy soil and shade who lives about 4 miles from me. She has beetles galore. Right now, the clay at my house is so hard that no beetle larvae could possibly dig into the soil.
Nosema -- I dont' have it when I treat. I have had signs of it in some hives when I did not treat.
Swarming: I checkerboard, and that usually prevents swarms and creates huge brood areas with hives that make lots of honey. This year, the warm winter caused me to checkerboard too late, and I had issues with swarming that cost me some honey. I also had a hive that, with hindsight, may have been trying to supersede the queen, which I mistakenly thought was swarming and I cut out queen cells on an experimental basis and screwed up the hive. (This year has not been my best, but I managed to harvest some honey.)
Drought and heat: Although not on Sol's list, the overwhelming factor for the last two years has been living in one of the levels of Hell, also known as Oklahoma, and, ironically, the part that tries to call itself "Green Country" (Ha-Ha-Ha). If this keeps up another year, I'm not sure we will have any feral bees at all.

Amphibians are all but gone, bequeathing us lessons that must not be squandered
Joseph R. Mendelson III
I learned great and terrible lessons in my first year of graduate work in 1989—more than I expected and more than I realized at the time. My advisor at the University of Texas at Arlington, Jonathan Campbell, arranged for me to spend a field season in Guatemala surveying the amphibians and reptiles in the environs of a coffee plantation near Pueblo Viejo, in the Department of Alta Verapaz. I was going it alone with no Spanish language skills in the midst of a brutal civil war. But there had never been any herpetological work done in this particular part of the country, so I balanced my apprehension with a vision of myself following in the footsteps of the intrepid tropical natural historians and explorers whose monographs I was intensely studying.
During that summer I assembled a good collection of reptiles from Pueblo Viejo, but only a poor collection of amphibians. We all assumed at the time that the paltry representation of amphibian specimens was due to my incomplete skills; where I come from in southern California, reptiles are common and amphibians are scarce. Twenty years later, it is clear to all herpetologists that I had arrived on the scene of a massacre. That field trip launched my research career as an amphibian taxonomist and, indeed, I discovered my first species of frog new to science at Pueblo Viejo. Since then I have had the pleasure of discovering and naming dozens of new species, but some of them I "discovered" on museum shelves and not in the field. My finds had become extinct before they were even named. I chose to become a herpetologist, not a paleontologist, because I enjoy working afield with live animals. Recent reflection has forced me to reconsider my academic title. I am a forensic taxonomist.
It is a bittersweet experience to formally name a new species of animal, knowing that it is probably already extinct. Even more unsettling is the saga of Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog (Ecnomiohyla rabborum), a spectacular new species that my colleagues and I discovered in central Panama in 2005. The publication formally naming it appeared in 2008 in the Journal of Herpetology, but the last individual in the wild was noted in 2007. At this writing, there are two individuals safe in captivity; both of them are males. The species is evidently extinct, even if those remnant males are yet unaware. Have you seen the iconic film clip of the last thylacine—the Tasmanian tiger—in its zoo enclosure? There is now a companion clip on YouTube of the second-to-last Rabbs' treefrog.
The crisis of global amphibian extinctions is profound, it is changing ecological systems in ways that we barely understand, and it is teaching us painful lessons about research and conservation. Amid all of the horrible environmental insults we inflict upon the planet's biodiversity, Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog did not disappear in the wild because of overharvest for food, pets, or science, and we cannot lay the blame on familiar threats such as deforestation, climate change or environmental pollution. The culprit was emerging infectious disease. Amphibian chytridiomycosis is capable of directly eradicating otherwise large and stable populations and directly causing extinction of species that are otherwise unthreatened.
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is a disease caused by the recently discovered chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. In the thallus phase of its life cycle, when fungi colonize to form vegetative masses, this chytrid forms a vase-shaped structure that embeds in the superficial epidermis of amphibians, allowing the fungus to harvest energy from the keratin in the host's skin.* It then produces motile flagellate zoospores that disperse aquatically. Ironically, the zoospores resemble microscopic tadpoles. Chytrid fungi are generally decomposers or parasites of invertebrates or plants. This is the first taxon in that large group known to be parasitic on vertebrates.**
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis likely is capable of infecting every species of amphibian on Earth (nearly 7,000 species), representing the broadest host-range of any known pathogen. Host responses vary from complete tolerance to rapid death, with death resulting from cardiac arrest stemming from osmotic imbalance. (Among its roles, keratin is a water-proofing protein). Tolerant host species, such as American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus), can act as disease vectors as they disperse naturally or are transported globally by humans. Tolerant species in any ecosystem may also act as reservoirs, ensuring that the pathogen remains on site and thereby reducing the probability that vanquished amphibian populations may recover, recolonize or be reintroduced. At some sites, such as the upland areas of Central America, the Andes, eastern Australia or western North America, the arrival of the pathogen into a new area promptly eliminates some amphibian populations, severely reduces others (with little evident recovery even after decades), yet leaves a subset of species infected but otherwise unaffected. At lower elevations, or at other sites such as upland areas of eastern North America, the disease is present but seems to have little effect on local species. Considerable research has been done in an effort to elucidate the synergistic influences that underlie these variable effects among sites and species, but the general answers remain frustratingly unclear. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is behaving as an emerging infectious disease and an invasive species on every continent (except perhaps Asia, and of course Antarctica, where no amphibians currently exist). Its native distribution (and naturally coevolved host species) remains unknown.
Herpetologists and wildlife biologists began observing inexplicable disappearances of amphibians around the globe in the mid-1970s and especially by the mid-1980s but were at a complete loss to explain them. Finally, in the late 1990s, an insightful team of pathologists at the U.S. National Zoo, led by Don Nichols, collaborated with one of the few chytrid fungus scholars in the world, Joyce Longcore, and identified this quite unusual new genus and species. Conservationists and disease ecologists were unprepared for the reality of a pathogen capable of directly and rapidly—mere months!—causing the elimination of a population or an entire species that was otherwise robust. Classical host-pathogen theory held that such dramatic consequences to the host population or species were only realized when the host population was already drastically reduced in size or otherwise compromised. The concept of a lightning extinction was foreign to researchers and conservationists, and we argued vehemently about it throughout the 1990s at symposia worldwide. In retrospect, the scenario of a spreading pathogen is parsimonious and clear, but in the midst of the massacre we were entangled in logical quagmires along these lines: "The disappearances cannot be the result of disease; diseases are not capable of such." Not to mention the fact that the smoking gun, the pathogen itself, was not described until 1999. While we were debating the issue, a terrible lesson was playing out for us around the world as an unknown disease decimated amphibian populations. This lesson has led to an overdue focus on other neglected amphibian diseases, such as those caused by ranaviruses. I highly recommend the recent and quite readable book Extinction in Our Times: Global Amphibian Decline by James P. Collins, Martha L. Crump and Thomas E. Lovejoy III, which offers a complete history of the phenomenon and the desperate plight of the global stakeholders.

The scope and scale of these declines is truly difficult to grasp. Up until about the late 1980s there were at least 97 species of harlequin frog (Atelopus) in the Neotropics (several of them now known only because of the forensic taxonomy skills of my colleague Luis Coloma in Ecuador); only about 10 species can now be located. Perhaps 38 species of northern rain frogs (Craugastor rugulosus group) were distributed along montane streams in Central America; only four or five are still extant. I personally found the last known individual of one of these species in southern Mexico in 2000. The concept of "endangered species" does not apply here. We are witnessing the nearly complete elimination of entire clades of species. This is another lesson learned, as we were all trained that such things are only to be observed in the fossil record. This precedent from the amphibians forces us to address the serious implications for possible disease-driven losses among other major clades. Consider for a moment the potential consequences of clade-level extinctions among monocot plants (corn, rice, wheat), pollinating insects, salmonids or scombrid fishes (mackerel, tuna), mammals or birds.
Amphibians are the typically uncredited vertebrate basis of almost all ecosystems on the planet, by virtue of the astounding biomass and population densities they can achieve despite their typically small body size. However, they are secretive and often nocturnal, so their reign is a well-kept secret, even among most ecologists. In light of this, a couple of qualifications about extinction are required. First, extinction is difficult to demonstrate unequivocally (as it is based on negative evidence), so organizations such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) justifiably are quite conservative in their assignment of the term, and we sometimes get it wrong. Second, extinction is simply defined by zero living representatives, but we are in need of a conceptually clear categorization of "functionally extinct" to account for the many hundreds of species of amphibians that swirl in the so-called extinction vortex, no longer able to provide the important goods and services they once contributed to ecosystems. They are only nearly extinct, which may make us feel better (or worse), but they don't really exist in a functional sense. The typical biomass of amphibians and the sheer magnitude of their declines and extinctions requires me to make bold statements, such as "There no longer exists a natural upland ecosystem in Mesoamerica" despite many fully protected reserves. I published that statement recently in Herpetological Review, and I note that no one has argued with it. In fact, my colleague Larry David Wilson extended the concept to suggest that virtually all publications of field-based research should bear a label: "Warning: this study was conducted in a disturbed ecosystem." The point is that the baseline of amphibian diversity and populations has shifted dramatically in many areas and no one—not even amphibian biologists—is adequately addressing that reality.
Amphibian declines must affect any ecological studies at famously "pristine" sites like La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, and they also affect evolutionary studies, taxonomic reviews and biotic inventories. In the latter case, we will never know the true biodiversity of some areas that are yet unsurveyed, and thus we will never be able to fully understand the interdependencies of those ecosystems in their fully evolved complexity. With my colleague Martin Bustamante, I recently learned this lesson the hard way in southern Ecuador, when cumulative months of field work revealed only a handful of amphibian species (several of them new to science) in a "pristine" upland cloudforest reserve that should have harbored dozens of amphibian species. Local ranchers described in wonderful detail a species of harlequin frog they had not seen in years. Quite possibly it represented a species unknown to science, but we will never know because Martin and I arrived after the massacre, too late even to accomplish a decent forensic taxonomic survey of the region. My graduate-school experience in Guatemala in 1989 taught me not to assume that we had simply failed to find the regional amphibians.
Conservationists have been overwhelmed by the amphibian crisis. In the atmosphere of ongoing declines, we realized that there was no framework to address a challenge of this magnitude or rapidity. Even worse than problems of scope and scale is the reality that conservationists, collectively, are stymied by the central problem of not knowing what to do. We have decades of experience as first responders in aid of species threatened by the familiar challenges of habitat loss, pollution and overharvesting. In many of these cases the solution is straightforward (often, stop eating that species), even if the sociopolitical and economic challenges can be formidable. The appropriate conservation response for amphibians perishing from disease must await a real breakthrough in disease control. There is no vaccine for any fungal disease known to affect humans or livestock, despite the high value we place on those species. Breakthroughs in research take time, and the amphibians are teaching us that time is tragically correlated with functional and actual extinctions. Climate change is another difficult conservation challenge for amphibians, but the threat of climate change is shared by all species, so at least amphibians will benefit from global programs conservationists are now battling to enact worldwide.
The IUCN has produced an Amphibian Conservation Action Plan to outline the basic endeavors necessary to confront the global amphibian crisis. The plan outlines important programs to protect habitat, reduce pollution, control commercial harvest, understand the consequences of climate change, and expand efforts toward population monitoring and taxonomic studies. Two major elements of the plan focus on the understanding and control of emerging infectious diseases and on the conundrum of what to do in the case of epidemics. The IUCN has charged the Amphibian Specialist Group (http://www.amphibians.org) and the newly organized Amphibian Survival Alliance with monitoring amphibian status worldwide and implementing an action plan. Meanwhile, awaiting the necessary breakthroughs in research and disease control, IUCN has charged Amphibian Ark (http://www.amphibianark.org) with the difficult task of organizing a global network of captive survival-assurance colonies of those species that can no longer be safeguarded in the wild. Nobody prefers a future in which amphibians on this planet are to be found only in safe-house aquaria at zoos and other institutions, but that is the best hope for some species right now.
Amphibians are teaching us lessons about the state of our planet. Waves of unstoppable fungal epidemics have all but silenced the wonderful frog choruses, all but eliminated the massive hidden biomass of invertebrate-consuming salamanders, and they have done so in some of the most remote and pristine areas left on our planet, including national parks. Those remote and fully protected areas may end up little more than ghosts of epidemics past. We remain pitifully ignorant of the basic biology, and the fates, of the ever-mysterious earthworm-like caecilians. Jonathan Campbell's work at Reserva del Quetzal in Guatemala indicates that it has lost about 70 percent of its amphibian species. Karen Lips's site in the Parque Nacional G. D. Omar Torrijos H., near El Copé, Panama, lost at least 30 species of amphibians (41 percent of the total) in the span of a few months during 2004 and 2005.
I am by profession an amphibian taxonomist, if nowadays a part-time forensic taxonomist, and I am by necessity an amphibian conservationist. The thrill of discovering and naming new species never gets old, but documenting the disappearance of any species—especially ones that I discovered and named—feels like a personal blow every time it happens. I never anticipated that my career as a neontologist in the life sciences would so closely resemble paleontology. There is a parallel between what amphibian taxonomists do these days and what homicide detectives do. Both arrive at scenes of mayhem. Maybe they solve the crime, but they are powerless to undo it. Yet the difficulty of demonstrating actual extinction gives me a flicker of hope. I hope that I am wrong in some of my scientific endeavors—a posture I never anticipated as a graduate student.
Our powerlessness in this terrible crisis must be balanced by increased efforts in realms that we can control, such as reducing carbon emissions to protect what habitat remains from chemical and physical disruption. We can go further and restore what has been wounded but can still be salvaged. We need to inspire and fund truly innovative research on pathogens in order to better predict and thwart emerging infectious diseases. The lessons we learn here will extend far beyond the amphibians. We must support funding for programs such as the Amphibian Ark and the Amphibian Survival Alliance. We must keep looking for species gone missing, and continue biodiversity surveys, despite the sometimes paralyzing depression that both activities can induce in this era. But especially, we need to pay close attention to the lessons that legions of dead amphibians are teaching us. I note with some satisfaction that our colleagues in bat research and conservation did not spend a decade arguing whether the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome could possibly eliminate entire colonies of bats in a single season. Our colleagues assumed that it was possible and reacted quickly. We can thank the amphibians for leaving us that lesson, but at such cost.

Our poor D line play especially our poor pass rush was the main culprit.

Adventure in Southern Baja
Baja Beach Oasis • Elias Calles, Mexico
Escape Kit
- A Four-Night Stay for Two in a Private Bungalow ($259)
- Or, a Seven-Night Stay for Two in a Private Bungalow ($389)
- One Activity for Two: Surf Lesson, Yoga Class, or Cooking Class
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
There's more to Mexico than margaritas and mañana. On the largely undeveloped Baja Peninsula, a 775-mile mountainous strip of arid land between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, a seize-the-day vibe permeates daily life. Surfing, hiking, mountain biking, sea kayaking, fishing, ATVing, horseback riding, snorkeling—these are just a few of the action-packed adventures to embark upon in Baja.
One hundred steps from a seven-mile stretch of virtually vacant Pacific coastline between the artist colony of Todos Santos and Cabo San Lucas, a collection of three casitas known as Baja Beach Oasis encircles a swimming pool and a copper hot tub. A mixture of cactuses, palm trees, and lush gardens punctuate the sandy landscape, and a hammock hangs beneath the thatch-roof awning in front of each bungalow. The simply appointed casitas feature cool tile floors, a king- or queen-size bed, and private bathrooms. Two of the units are appointed with kitchenettes, and while none of them are equipped with a phone or TV, all are wired for Wi-Fi.
Who needs TV anyway? This is one of the best places in Baja Sur to watch gray whales on their migration path. It's also a popular sea turtle nesting ground, and bird watchers call the area paradise. And if simply watching doesn't strike your fancy, well, you're in luck. Baja Beach Oasis can arrange a jeep excursion to a hidden beach or set you up with a snorkeling or diving tour, in addition to your included activity for two: a surf lesson, a yoga class, or a cooking class.
Nightlife, too, is abundant in Baja. Just 25 minutes south of the bungalows, Cabo San Lucas draws honeymooners, vacationers, and partiers alike from around the globe. Here, seafood reigns and Mariscos Mocambo draws the palates that know it best: locals. And at Nowhere Bar, you'll meet an eclectic group of revelers from near and far.
Back at the bungalows, take a dip in the hot tub and watch as millions of stars bid you goodnight.
"What a gorgeous spot for R&R. Amazing hospitality. We loved it all, especially riding the horses on the beach and visiting the secret beach that only the locals can find."-- TripAdvisor

With global population climbing toward 10 billion, food security is a growing concern. Extreme droughts and floods have slammed agricultural exports from the United States, Australia and Russia in recent years. Future severe weather is expected to put upward pressure on crop prices. That prospect raises thorny questions. Is there a role for seeds that are genetically modified to be drought resistant? Can 10 billion people be fed without GMO crops? Can organics feed a growing and hungry world? Consumer support of full labeling of GMO products is getting the attention of food producers and retailers. Whole Foods recently said all GMO foods on its shelves must be labeled by 2018. General Mills announced that Cheerios would not include GMOs. Labeling laws are also being put before voters around the country. Join us for a discussion about the prospect and perils of tinkering with the genetics of our food supply as we brace for more climate disruption.

This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1907 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Hi ,
I'm Gino from Holland i'm 38 years old and after pondering about which mandolorian to do and doing some research , I set my mind to go and have a try for a Jodo Kast version.
I've seen pictures of a very nice one, like the one in the picture below.
I don't know who he might be, but his version is awesome.
With all do respect i'm not going to try and do his version, but he sure inspires me to do Jodo.
As the orange colors remind me of the Netherlands, where I come from, I think the idea is very cool to do a dutch one, a fellow outpost member is doing a Jodo Kast aswell, but that is not something I worry about.
The story about the character in the comic "Twin Engines of destruction" inspired me to go for Jodo as well.
In the past I would go for Boba or Arena Jango , but Jodo seems less obvious to do.
When I analyze Jodo, the first thing that comes to mind in my opinion is amphibious/jungle/scuba, just looking at the jet pack itself, it somehow reminds me of this,
Also the buckle of his belt has scuba all written over it to me.
Anyway I'm still in the research fase, and brainstorming about the Jet Pack itself.
Can sombody tell me , who the person in the picture is?
And again great Jodo Kast version!

Kaylyn Eggena's overtime goal lifted the Northern Lakes Lighting girls' hockey team past International Falls 3-2 in the championship game of the Green Division of the Schwan Cup on Saturday, Dec. 29, at Ridder Arena of University of Minnesota.

Mood: WOOF!
The collapses are caused because TC puts such a toll on players that at the end of the season they are all spent mentally and physically. It toughens them up, but you have to have healthy players to be able to make a push for the SB. This year we didn't. Hence the failure.
I find it hilarious that folks continue to live in the past. Yes, it is good that we won 2 SuperBowls in 5 years but it wasn't like we turned it on and then blew everyone out in those 2 playoff runs. In our first run, we intercepted Romo in the endzone at the end of the game to stop Dallas. We went to overtime to beat
Green Bay Packers because Lawrence Tynes missed 2 field goals that he should've made. We needed Eli Manning to have one of the greatest 4th quarters in SuperBowl history to win SB XLII. In our 2nd run, we went to overtime to beat San Francisco 49ers and we had to have a last minute drive in the 4th
quarter of SuperBowl XLVI to win. Also, Wes Welkers drop was huge in that game.
Our players on both defense and offense stepped up and played great in both of our SuperBowl runs. Granted, JR has an eye for talent and drafts well but there is no way that winning that way was planned nor should it be expected. This last season, Victor Cruz made a comment around week 14 or 15 about
how now is the time that "NY Giants pick it up and play our best football, it is what we always do." It is not what we always do. It is something we have
done twice in 10 years. Fortunately, it ended up in SuperBowl victories for us but it is not something that should be counted on or expected. This past
season, it seemed that folks expected NY Giants to just roll over people at the end of the year and make the playoffs and that is ridiculous to expect that. Just as it is ridiculous to expect our offense to flourish with the garbage OC that we have.
The very question of wheter or not Tom Brady should retire because he is slipping is an outrageously stupid one. Okay, he lost in AFC Championship Game but he had a better regular season than our QB ever has. He got his team to AFC Championship Game. That is a successful season. Heck, if folks want to continue about how not winning SuperBowls or having dissapointing playoff runs are an indication of the QB slipping then where are the threads that Peyton Manning, one of the biggest playoff chokers of all time, needs to retire immediately?

text: Miki Ando was so strong skater in 2010-2011 season. She won Yuna kim. I want to talk about her in 2011 Worlds. This is a thread "andofanatic" made in April. I thought It is a objective thread and too true. I bring it for adding things to my claim. http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...-beat-Kim-if-both-are-clean-or-similar-errors *I'm saying in hypothetic situation if ando is in top form. 2011 Worlds is the last competition two skaters fought, so I think this comparison is fair enough. Single Jumps that both of miki and kim did successfully are 3lutz, 3sal. They got same GOE on both jumps. Ando got same GOE 0.9 with kim in 3lutz which is the strongest jump of kim. Ando got same GOE 0.8 on 3Sal with kim. It proves Ando in top form had similar quality jump with kim. This events proved these things. If kim makes similar errors with her rivals, she is becoming a ordinary top skater. Of course this is same on PCS. 2011 Worlds Where kim had similar skates with Ando, Judges have judged that kim is just slightly better than Ando artistically. In any element in protocal, I could not find kim surpassed Ando surely. Don't think that at that time, Judges didn't intend to make large difference in PCS. At the same event, Patrick Chan in Mens won 2rd skater kozuka who is known for so strong skating skill, and skated close to clean in PCS by 12. So they prove when Ando is in top form, if both skated cleanly with the same jumps Ando would win easily, In TES, also in pcs.

Stone 10th Anniversary IPA harkens back to our earlier Anniversary Ales, with abundant hopping at many stages of the brewing process. Appropriately, the aroma is over-the-top, with pronounced piney and resiny hop flavors combined with tropical fruit esters and more subtle notes of toasted malts and alcohol. Our Stone 10th Anniversary Ale weighs in at 10% alcohol by volume (perfect for a 10th anniversary beer), and has a little more color and malt character than our other IPAs. In addition to using the new Summit hop variety in the brewhouse to provide the powerful bitterness, we went back through our records and found some of our favorite hops over the years, and used them to flavor this brew, including Chinook, Crystal, and large doses of Simcoe in the dry-hop to provide a huge, complex, piney, fruity and floral hop character. This is a colossal beer, big in every sense: hoppy, malty, rich, and strong! Right up our alley.
