In 1984, shortly after the first 1983 vintage was resting in barrel, Jean and Baker Ferguson, the founders, held a contest with all the relatives' children under grade six. The objective: draw a colorful drawing to be used as a wine label. Some of the children drew pictures of the school building, others drew bottles of wine with glasses, and at least one drew a picture of the cat. The prize at the time was $100 cash, plus royalties on posters sold (fortunately the state liquor board would not allow royalties on the wine).
The winner: 8 year old third grade cousin Ryan Campbell. Ryan's watercolor of the schoolhouse was drawn just about the time of Walla Walla's Hot Air Balloon Stampede, and he came up with the grape cluster balloon. All of the entries, including Ryan's original, hang in the tasting room for visitors to admire. Today, Ryan has just completed his Architecture Degree at the University of Idaho.

Public comment sought on Gilchrist State Forest acquisitions
SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon Department of Forestry invites public input on proposed land acquisitions in the Gilchrist State Forest, kicking off a 60-day comment process on Tuesday.
The public process is two-part: a 60-day public comment period from Nov. 5 through Jan. 3, 2014 -- and a public hearing on Dec. 5 in Klamath Falls.
Located 45 miles south of Bend adjacent to U.S. Highway 97, the Gilchrist State Forest is Oregon's newest state forest, with 43,000 acres dedicated in 2010.
The area has a rich place in Oregon history, with the land tract and town of Gilchrist established in 1938 to support timber production in the area.
Harvested heavily through much of the1990s, the Gilchrist now represents a sustainable forest for future generations, providing a range of economic, environmental, and social benefits for Oregonians.
Proposed acquisitions would add nearly 29,000 acres, with $10.2 million available in funding -- $1.98 million in Oregon Lottery-backed bonds approved by the Oregon Legislature in 2011, $3 million from the federal Forest Legacy grant, and $5.2 million in general bonds approved by the Legislature in 2013.
About 25,800 of the 29,000 acres are currently owned by The Conservation Fund, and 3,000 acres by Central Oregon Land Holdings.
In 2010, when the Gilchrist was dedicated, ODF partnered with The Conservation Fund to arrange a short-term purchase of the additional land, with the understanding that ODF would buy from them when funds were available.
Please view the acquisition website and map for specific locations and additional information.
Public comment opportunities and the hearing invite public feedback on these specific acquisitions. The comment period runs from Nov. 5, 2013 through 5 p.m. on Jan. 3, 2014.
It is anticipated that ODF will request Board of Forestry approval of the acquisitions at its March 2014 meeting. In accordance with OARs 629-033-0030 and 629-035-0070, written public comments concerning the proposed acquisition should be sent to the Oregon Department of Forestry, Attn: Patty Cate, 2600 State St., Bldg. D, Salem, OR 97310 or by e-mail to email@example.com.
The public hearing will be held Thursday, Dec. 5, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Klamath County Government Center, Commissioners Meeting Room No. 219, 305 Main St., Klamath Falls.

Serious Fun: Driving the BRP Lineup
Owning a truck or SUV brings a host of benefits, among which is the ability to tow or carry "toys" or motorized products that can also be used for work in locations where the pavement ends. We recently joined powersport company Bombardier Recreational Products to try out some of its all-new and updated offerings for motor enthusiasts, and to see some of its concept and prototype models.
BRP, originally the Bombardier company that pioneered the Ski-Doo, set up test rides in Montreal's Parc Rene-Levesque at an "ultimate playground" located on the city's waterfront.
BRP's product brands include Ski-Doo, Lynx, Sea-Doo, Evinrude, Rotax, and Can-Am. Among its portfolio of products are snowmobiles, watercraft and boats, outboard engines, all-terrain and side-by-side vehicles, and roadsters, plus Rotax engines for karts, motorcycles, and ultralight and light aircraft.
"The author travels over land and sea -- on the GTI Limited 155 and Can-Am Spyder Roadster (right)."
"Hey, Sue, how'd you like to try another version of our Sea-Doo?" asked the BRP watercraft guide as he corraled our group into a donut-shaped collective, after a mile-long wild ride across Lac Saint-Louis, on the outskirts of Montreal.
I was straddling a GTX 155 S model. The "S" indicates sport, and that's what had drawn me to jump onto this particular power-sport water machine, which has a new hull design and lots of other cool upgrades. "You should switch with someone and try out the touring model. That has a suspension system," he added, as our small cadre of testers bobbed on the choppy waters of this picturesque lake, which joins the St. Lawrence River and makes up a portion of Parc Rene-Levesque.
It had been a few years since I'd been on a personal watercraft, but my knowledge of Ski-Doos, ATVs, and motorcycles, along with my competitive nature, made me think I could keep up with our instructor, and ride at the front of the pack. Despite all the cool new technologies on my ride -- brakes, intelligent throttle control, and reverse gears, for instance -- I was struggling and found myself bogged down in the wake of the front-runners, as well as speed-limited by the waves on this open waterway.
Switching to a GTI Limited 155 with a touring seat and high-performance variable trim, I was amazed at the difference. I now sometimes was the leader of the pack of fellow journalists. Wow, I thought, it's like testing trucks and vehicles of all different types. As a driver, you're only a part of the equation; vehicle technology is the other, extremely critical part.
After all, that's why I was here in French-speaking Montreal at an urban park -- not simply to listen to the BRP press conference, but to sit in the saddle of a few fun sport machines and come home with a few takeaways of a more personal nature.
For example, some would say BRP is known for building some of the fastest "skis" on the water, with its competitive and highly regarded Sea-Doo line, and for offering the most extras like brakes and suspension. It's the only brand of personal watercraft that offers brakes, which work by reducing power, and using a "brake" gate to create controllable drag. Personal watercraft brakes can cut stopping distance in half. PWCs have suspension systems as well, for ride comfort and to reduce fatigue. The hull can move separately from the upper deck, with up to 6 inches of travel. Sounds great, but we took a ride across a choppy waterway to see for ourselves and learned a lot, even during a short ride.
"The Can-Am Outlander X mr is built for work and play in the mud."
I had started my test drive day with BRP's all-terrain ATVs and side-by-side models, where a track was set up with open stretches to test acceleration; dirt side hills to evaluate traction and handling; and obstacles, such as logs, rocks, and V-ditches, designed to give a sampling of terrains found in the places where owners and enthusiasts typically ride.
BRP's modern-day, rec/utility products are a far cry from the first versions that came to market in terms of build quality and creative feature content. Examples of the latter include integrated winches to thoughtful stowage and carrying capability to protective features for vehicle and rider.
I love playing in mud and riding in the back country; therefore, I tried the new Can-Am Outlander X mr, which has several mud-riding features, including an adjustable, on-the-fly air-control suspension and an integrated snorkel system, and the new Can-Am Renegade 500, which mixes sporty trail performance and 4x4 versatility. While different in character and ride demeanor, BRP's new models feature improved suspension and surprisingly good ride comfort and trail manners; impressive engine performance; enhanced ergonomics. They also include features that are found on some of today's trucks, such as power steering-steering assist, suspension dive-control geometry, and visco-auto locking front differentials.
Moving on to the luxury-laden Can-Am Commander 1000 LTD, I rode over the same course on a side-by-side vehicle that BRP says is designed to take comfort and convenience to the next level. It's powered by an 85-horse, 976cc Rotax engine and has accessories like a Warn Winch, a touch-screen Garmin GPS, air-control Fox Racing Shox, and a sound system with four integrated speakers. After leaving the course, I longed for a longer test drive in each.
My final ride of the day was on two versions of BRP's unique, three-wheeled Can-Am Spyder Roadsters. No one else makes this type of "trike" -- others have two wheels in the rear. First, my bias: I grew up on motorcycles and, I must admit, I have rolled my eyes in disdain at trikes, a word that BRP does not use when describing this motorcycle product.
While I don't plan on ordering a Roadster any time soon, even if I do win the lottery, I now get why a small cult community has formed for these motorcycles that not only give a sporty ride (of course, I rode the sport version first and the touring second!), but also advance safety, with a stable front end that extends a motorcycle's visibility to others on the road, to address one of the top reasons given in motorcycle/car crashes.
Plus, the roadsters are attractive, with cool paint schemes and seat trims; along with six-spoke chrome wheels; exhaust tips; mirrors; and new amber-colored, multifunction LCDs. Sport versions come with new gas-charged, anodized-aluminum FOX Racing Shox front shocks that are adjustable for preload and have improved compression and rebound damping.
"Can-Am's Renegade 500 mixes sporty trail performance with off-road versatility."

Council Bluffs St. Albert jumped on Glenwood for an early 21-9 lead and then closed the game on a 21-10 run to down Glenwood 71-61 on Saturday.
The Glenwood girls basketball team rolled to its 14th win of the season on Saturday with a convincing 66-38 non-conference victory over Council Bluffs St. Albert.
The Rams are now 14-5 on the season and 9-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.
Glenwood broke open a 10-10 first quarter tie game with a 25-10 second-quarter run to lead 35-20 at the half. The Saintes couldn't get closer than double-digits the rest of the way.
The Glenwood wrestling team wrapped up its regular dual season with a 60-22 victory over Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson on Thursday.
The Rams won 10 of the 14 matches and improved its dual record to 14-5 this season.
There is no shortage of suggestions on just how the proposed interpretive center will tell the story of the Glenwood Culture Native Americans, center proponent Wayne Phipps said this week.
Last week's public meeting on center planning drew 51 persons and they offered more than 100 proposals for the center ranging from ideas on appropriate displays and the size of the center's theater to landscaping and sufficient parking space for tour buses and motor homes.
Under a proposal presented to the Glenwood City Council last week, Police Chief Eric Johansen would like to add four new vehicles to the Glenwood Police Depart-ment's fleet after the start of the new fiscal year on July 1.
If the council approves the purchase of the two Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs and two Chevy Caprice police cruisers proposed by Johansen, the number of vehicles in the GPD fleet would grow from five to nine, allowing each of the nine officers on the Glenwood police force to be assigned their own vehicle.
DES MOINES - What had been speculated for months became official Saturday night - RAGBRAI XXXIX will begin in Glenwood on Sunday morning, July 24.
RAGBRAI, the nation's largest cross-state bicycle ride, will be starting in Glenwood for a record-tying sixth time.
Glenwood was the first overnight town announced during a RAGBRAI Route announcement party Saturday night in Des Moines. Other overnight stops on the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa will include Atlantic, Carroll, Boone, Altoona, Grinnell, Coralville and Davenport.
Western Iowa native Tricia McSorley is in her second month of work as Assistant Mills County Attorney. McSorley began working at the office on Dec. 1 and is sharing the case load with newly-elected county attorney Eric Hansen.
The fact just a handful of voters turned out for a public discussion of the economics and impact of the Instructional Support Levy (ISL) going before district voters on Feb. 1 wasn't a discouraging sign for Glenwood Superintendent Devin Embray, who presented the district's plan for the ISL at the meeting held at the Glenwood Golf Course last Wednesday.
It's hard to miss which car is Howard Kamish's. With Howard's Electronics, featured prominently on his vehicles and the expensive computer and electronic equipment the Glenwood business owner often carries, he knows he's potentially a target for thieves.
The Glenwood wrestling team won four of five matches at the Bishop Heelan Duals in Sioux City on Saturday.
"This was a great team effort out of everyone," said Glenwood coach Matt Dyer. "The kids wrestled very well. Everyone had to do their part for us to win these duals. We had a few guys out of the line-up and the kids that stepped in did an excellent job filling in.

Re: st: Treatment of missing values in surveys in Stata (subpop)

Re: st: Treatment of missing values in surveys in Stata (subpop)
Fri, 8 Mar 2013 19:15:57 -0500
Rereading, I see that you asked about using the subpop() option when there are missing values. Leaving a particular question unanswered could happen for many reasons, including fatigue, haste, interviewer error, and data entry mistakes. So again, the theory of the subpopulation correction does not apply.
You didn't need to recode a missing numerical value to something like 999 in order to use it. Such 999 coding is used only for data forms these days.
. svy, subpop( if var < .)
would do the job. This takes care of extended missing values, like .a, since in Stata they order as: . , .a , .b ,..., .z
Multiple imputation is the approach for handling missing values.
The theory of subpopulation corrections does not apply to non-response.
A subpopulation is a subset of the population tht can be defined in
advance: (e.g. males, ages 30-40, living in rural areas). The number
selected by a sample will be random. For example, suppose a population
of N members contains a subpopulation of M members. A SRS of size n
taken. You should be able work out the exact probability that the sample
will contain exactly k members of the subpopulation. The theory of the
subpopulation correction is an extension of this, and can be found in
any good text.
In contrast, "responder" is not a characteristic, like gender, that is
known in advance. It is defined only in relation to the particular sample
design and protocol. For identical designs, better protocols can
increase response rates. Thus, sampling theory alone cannot
describe the numbers of responders and, consequently, the
subpopulation correction is not applicable.

Dear Statalisters,
I have found two recommended procedures for dealing with individuals
with missing items ('normal' missing answers like 'DK/DA' or equipment
failure) when analysing surveys with Stata:
1) One is based on the recommendation that, unless there is a very
strong reason to do otherwise, whenever you analyse a group of
individuals in a survey with Stata, you have to use subpop. (See for
example: http://www.stata.com/meeting/mexico10/mex10sug_canette.pdf).
Under this perspective, those with valid values would be a
subpopulation. From my point of view, this means that in order to
prevent Stata from dropping them from the calculation of standard
errors, missing codes (".") should be recoded to a numerical value
(like 999) and then a command issued this way:
svy, subpop(if var<999): command var
2) Nevertheless, most of the information I've read does not make any
statement about this, what implicitly means that missing codes don't
need to be recoded. I've even found this piece of advice
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-09/msg01028.html): 'I've
never seen a recommendation to consider observations with non-missing
values as a subpopulation'
I wonder if anyone could throw some ligth on this topic.
Thank you very much.

10 Food Trends for 2013, just so you are prepared!
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/02/dinin … e&_r=0
From the NY Times
"IN our newly omnivorous nation, restaurant trends often have the same viral spread and short life span as boy bands � witness 2011�s crispy pig ears and sea buckthorn berries. Eating around the country on reporting trips in 2012, I saw food lovers everywhere embracing new interpretations of farm-to-table and nose-to-tail as fast as they came along.
Enlarge This Image
Karsten Moran for The New York Times
But along with the flashes in the pan, I saw some new developments that seem to have both legs and merit.
In the big picture, Nordic naturalism (with its embrace of ancient, earthy and cold-weather foods) and Spanish modernism (which celebrates intense flavors and technical skills) are surging as American chefs return from internships abroad at places like Noma, Mugaritz and Arzak.
Closer up, in kitchens and on plates, I noted 10 food trends we will taste more of in 2013. There are tastes for all persuasions, and enough strong runners-up to fill the menu of a Brooklyn pop-up: pine needles, piment�n, horseradish, seaweed, uni, poutine, American cheese, Spanish ham, whey, ashes and fish milt (translation: sperm).
LONG-AGED MEAT In slower times, a 21-day aging process for steak was considered long and luxurious. First the needle moved to 28 days, then 45, and now a full 240. At Carnevino in Las Vegas, I tasted prime beef that had spent eight months in the cooler, where it had dried, concentrated and developed a fatty minerality. It was redolent of earth and mold, with a hint of town dump that made it irresistible (think of Gorgonzola). And now chefs outside the steakhouse tradition are getting into old meat. At Blanca, in Brooklyn, Carlo Mirarchi makes fetish objects of 85-day-old beef and lamb cuts. And at Saison, in San Francisco, Joshua Skenes ages ducks for 21 days, until the meat is practically spoon-tender and deeply funky.
SMOKED EVERYTHING Two nights in San Francisco, two different dinner menus, two near-identical crocks of pebble-size smoked potatoes. In leading-edge restaurants like State Bird Provisions and Bar Tartine, smoking isn�t just for meat anymore. Smoked cream, ice cream and cr�me fra�che are the new normal on pastry menus, because cream is easy to smoke in a small kitchen, and rich enough to pick up the flavor well. At Fatty �Cue, in the West Village, the phenomenal Fatty manhattan cocktail is made with smoked Cherry Coke. Also noted: smoked cauliflower at Farmhouse at Bedford Post, in Westchester County; smoked corn at Goose and Gander, in Napa Valley, Calif.; and smoked maple cream at Corton, in TriBeCa.
SUNFLOWER POWER We swam in sunchoke foams, soups and pur�es last year, perhaps because of the vegetable�s taste, which combines potato and artichoke with a hint of water chestnut; or because roasted brussels sprouts finally became boring; or because the sunchoke dovetails with the pursuit of indigenous produce. The sunchoke is the root of a sunflower (Helianthus tuberosus) that is native to the eastern United States. At Forage restaurant, a small (and small-plate) outpost of progressive cuisine in Salt Lake City, Viet Pham and Bowman Brown sent out a dessert of brown butter ice cream with sunchoke and walnut crumble. The experimental chef John Shields (now exploring restaurant spaces in Washington) provided a double-sunflower hit by using a crisp sunchoke �skin� as the shell of a cannoli stuffed with ricotta, chocolate and sunflower-seed pur�e; and at Atera in TriBeCa, Matthew Lightner presented multiple courses with sunchokes, sunflower petals and a toffee made of sunflower seeds.
ARTISANAL SOFT-SERVE Three momentous developments made 2012 the year to buy a soft-serve machine for your otherwise handcrafted restaurant � or, more likely, your fledgling food truck. First, the all-organic Straus Family Creamery, in Marin County, Calif., made its soft-serve mix nationally available; that�s what served at places like Zero Zero, in San Francisco, with a choice of sophisticated toppings like cocoa nibs and extra-virgin olive oil (great on vanilla ice cream). New York�s Big Gay Ice Cream Truck made national television and opened a second storefront, planting the seed for more groovy soft-serve trucks like the Twirl and Dip, in San Francisco, and the Cow Tipping Creamery, in Austin, Tex. And the Momofuku Milk Bar mini-chain, home of the influential pastry chef Christina Tosi, continued to grow in New York, bringing soft-serve flavors like salted pistachio caramel and guava horchata to the masses.
CHICHARRONES The humble pork rind showed up in high-end company in 2012, in big crisp-fried sheets that showed off the extraordinary texture that can be achieved when fat meets fat. At Empell�n Cocina, in the East Village, Alex Stupak took the classic Mexican taco filling of chicharr�n and salsa verde, eliminated the tortilla and came up with an unforgettable bar snack. And it isn�t just pork: shards of Southern-fried chicken skin are a starter at Husk, in Charleston, S.C., and crisp fish skin made an amuse-bouche at Frej, in Brooklyn. Chicharrones were also spotted at Noble Pig (Austin), Seersucker (Brooklyn) and the disturbingly named Abattoir (Atlanta).
RAW WINTER VEGETABLES Since 2011, when American chefs embarked on our national kale salad experiment, any vegetable, no matter how forbidding or indigestible, has become fair game for raw eating. No one has done more to promote the Martian-looking kohlrabi than the Chicago chef Stephanie Izard, who has made kohlrabi salad a seasonless standard at Girl & the Goat. Elsewhere, offerings include a course of impaled baby radishes, carrots, turnips and fennel from the gardens at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, in Pocantico Hills, N.Y. In Houston, Justin Yu�s minimalist plate of raw turnip and radish was one of the dishes that prompted an Internet uprising against his new restaurant Oxheart.
BARREL-AGED HOT SAUCE Hugh Acheson�s Empire State South, in Atlanta, is one of many Southern restaurants that set the national agenda this year. Grits and grains were explored; the potential uses of pimento cheese were mastered (straws, puffs, foam); country ham was added to every vegetable. Cutting through it all is a new generation of full-flavored hot sauces; Mr. Acheson�s is aged in oak barrels for sweet and fiery complexity. Home-brewed hot sauce is aged in discarded whiskey barrels at Vesta Dipping Grill, in Denver, and at Magnolia Pub and Brewery, in San Francisco, where the hot sauce is part of the larger craft-brew program.
PIG TAILS After the headcheese revival of the aughts and the pig�s trotters craze of 2011, only one part of the animal remained to be discovered: the rich, bony and gelatinous tail (except for some deeply interior bits like the pig�s vocal cords and cervix, to which entire restaurants are devoted in Japan). At Coppa, in Boston, the coda is spit-roasted and served with pungent fruit mostarda, the perfect contrast; at Alla Spina, in Philadelphia, it�s fried and drizzled with fennel agrodolce; and the team at Animal, in Los Angeles, does it Buffalo style.
FERMENTATION Chefs, remember when making a batch of pickle chips for your house burger was considered advanced artisanship? Now, pickling is baby steps; fermentation is where it�s at. (Fermentation is one method of pickling; it generates living bacteria.) Your peers are contemplating long-term bacterial activity like year-old kimchi (the draw at Muk Eun Ji in New York�s Koreatown), and consulting with the experts at the Cultured Pickle Shop, in Berkeley, on projects like pumpkin fermented with espelette pepper and scallion. David Chang has turned a whole chunk of his Momofuku empire in New York over to a fermenting lab, and Nicolaus Balla of Bar Tartine, in San Francisco, has a jump on the Eastern European tradition: he is already serving Hungarian-style stuffed red peppers.
SALUMI 2.0 The nose-to-tail movement went off in two directions this year, providing an astounding range of new cured meats. One path was for advanced students of charcuterie and salumi, who mastered pancetta and p�t� years back. Now they are making mortadella (at Bar Toma, in Chicago), �nduja (at Cypress, in Charleston, S.C.) and ciauscolo (at Boccalone, in San Francisco). A few mavericks decided that the pig was over, branching out with octopus salami (Rosemary�s, in Greenwich Village), fig salami (a dessert from Charlito�s Cocina, a small New York producer) and daube glac�, a New Orleans classic of cool, jellied beef stew, now revived in that city at R�evolution."

Re: 10 Food Trends for 2013, just so you are prepared!
I have to say, the long-aged meat sounds completely foul. I'm all in favour of ageing for normal timescales (a month suits me fine) but eating something that smells like a dumpster or is "deeply funky" isn't my idea of a good time.
It always annoys me when people "predict" trends like this. It's self-fulfilling. Just like clothing fashion, when all the pundits predict this or that colour or style, and of course they all follow one anothers' lead, and then of course those things come into fashion precisely BECAUSE the "experts" predicted them. It's a total racket.
Rant over. Perhaps the continuing Scandinavian trend will do something for traditional Scottish food, which nobody ever really understands. Even Jamie (who did a good job overall with Jamie's Great Britain) didn't get it - kept adding bacon and spring onions and stuff, when the whole point is that each ingredient tastes of itself, and only of itself. It's basically stodgy Scandinavian. We have as many links over there as we do with the rest of the UK - possibly more.

Okay, I see they are different opinions on if you should use one or two. I am going with two. My question is this. What about 2 brood boxes and a super, for the bees? I have done this with one of my hives but, I have a reason. When I bought the hive it had one brood box and one super. It swarmed the 1st two years I had it (I'm going into year 3 with this one). The first year it swarmed we had a bad summer and they never did fill up the super I put on to collect, the second year wasn't as bad and I got 3 supers (two in the summer and one in the fall). This year I added another brood body so it's now 2 brood bodies and a super. They are really strong and this spring has been unusually cool and wet so far.
Thoughts input etc?

Reviews of this property
Lidy is a great host! Immediately after booking, she provided us with a lot of helpful information. The check-in and check-out were very easy and uncomplicated.
The apartment is wonderful and very cosy. Everything was in perfect condition and you will find all the stuff you need. The apartment is on the second floor and has no door that would seperate it from the other floors but we always had our own privacy.
It was a pleasure staying at your place, Lidy. We hope to see you again!
We really enjoyed to stay at Lidys Apartment. We missed nothing. Bed and Bathroom is 5* hotel quality. We missed nothing in this beautiful flat.
Thank you so much, Lidy.
We had a great time in Amsterdam. The apartment is beautiful with an idyllic view into the backyard and the neighbourhood is very quiet. Everything you need can be reached within a few minutes. And Lidy is a very friendly and caring host, so if we get another chance to visit Amsterdam, we would love to stay at Lidy's again.
Thank you Lidy!!

Hallo Lidy,
vielen Dank für die schöne und herzliche Unterkunft.
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder und machen ein paar Tage Amsterdam.
Viele Grüße
Fantastic little place with a modern, clean and stylish feel. Lidy (the owner) was only too pleased to help us with anything from restaurants to booking our taxi to the airport. The apartment has a balcony which is great for breakfast with a coffee and croissant to set you up nicely for the day! It's around a 10-15 minute tram ride into the city centre but chose to stop just outside and enjoy the walk in; plenty of cafes and attractions to make the journey worthwhile! We'll certainly be going back!
We highly recommend a stay in that beautiful place. Calm and clean, it just delivers everything for relaxation and getting back energy for your next visit to downtown. And if you have questions there is Lidy, the perfect host offering her help.
Josef and Ruth, having been there when Amsterdam was quite a winter resort :-)

Vague title, but,
I just ran a map radius tool to see where things are "as the bees fly" and see that I am about 1.5 miles from probably 50 acres of soybeans. I hear this is a good crop for the dry spell, but can I realistically expect the bees to gather alot at that distance? I know people say 2 miles, and I have heard up to 5, but will they do it in force enough to actually build up at that distance?

I have written a tool based off of Assimp that converts collada/fbx models to a custom format. For some reason assimp is omitting some of the mesh's bones from the aiMesh::mBones list, but they still appear in the aiScene::mRootNode node tree. This causes my converter to mangle the bone tree structure, because some of the bone's parent bones don't appear in the aiMesh::mBones list!
Here is an example. The "RiggedModel_Final_FootNull" gets omitted from the aiMesh::mBones list but its children are not. Why does assimp do this and how would I fix it? It would be great if assimp would store all bones in the bone list.

Fuji Heavy Industries President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga has become a market darling for something he failed to do: build a factory in China.
The maker of Subaru cars, the only major Japanese auto brand without a plant in the world's largest vehicle market, has jumped 83 per cent in Tokyo trading this year for the biggest gain on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average.
Fuji Heavy's smaller presence in China has helped shield it from a consumer backlash triggered by a territorial dispute between Asia's two largest economies as its sales in the US and Japan have surged.
"Selling cars in China is difficult now," Yoshinaga said at the unveiling of the new Forester SUV last week in Tokyo. "Luckily we can cover the loss there by producing more cars for Japan and the US, since we don't have a plant in China."
While its Japanese peers idled factories in China last month as deliveries slumped, Fuji Heavy was able to ship more cars to the US and Japan, where waiting times have stretched to six months for its BRZ sports car and two months for the Impreza hatchback.
The demand helped the Tokyo-based carmaker boost its full-year profit forecast by 40 per cent even as Honda and Nissan cut theirs by a fifth.
Last year, Fuji Heavy chief Yoshinaga said he felt his perseverance was being "tested" after failing to get approval for his company's proposed joint venture with Chery. Chinese authorities had balked because Toyota, which already has two joint ventures in China, is Fuji Heavy's largest shareholder, with a 16.5 per cent stake.
China didn't share Yoshinaga's view that Fuji Heavy is independently managed from Toyota. A third partnership in the country for Toyota would have exceeded regulatory limits, according to people familiar with the situation.
Manufacturing locally is crucial because import taxes of 25 per cent make cars built abroad uncompetitive. China is Subaru's third largest market after the US and Japan, but its growth in the country has slowed. The company sold 57,198 Subaru cars in China last year, versus 57,138 in 2010 and 35,348 in 2009. Nissan, which has a joint venture with Dongfeng, delivered 1.25 million vehicles in the country last year.
The delay in getting approval for its venture with Chery prompted Fuji Heavy in May to cut its projection for China deliveries by 44 per cent to 100,000 units for the year ending March 2016. It also lowered its global sales target by 50,000 to 850,000 units.
The China rejection was "disastrous for Subaru and we had a very negative view at the time," said Masatoshi Nishimoto, an analyst with IHS Automotive in Tokyo. "Their misfortune turned into a stroke of good luck after the anti-Japan protests. But in the long term, Subaru can't do without China."
Fuji Heavy's Chief Financial Officer, Mitsuru Takahashi, agrees.
"We just happened to be lucky," Takahashi said in a November 13 interview.
"By chance we have been moving in an advantageous direction." Fuji Heavy shares have gained 28 per cent since Sept. 14, when anti-Japan protests broke out in China, outperforming Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Researchers at Toyota estimate Japanese automakers are unlikely to fully restore Chinese production before July, according to a document obtained by Bloomberg News this month.
The decades-old territorial dispute, involving a group of islands called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, was reignited in April when then-Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, a long-time critic of China, proposed buying the territories. Though anti-Japan protests have subsided in China, tensions continue to simmer.
Japan's main opposition leader, Shinzo Abe, said on November 15 he will boost control of the islands should his Liberal Democratic Party win next month's elections. Polls show the LDP may win the national vote.
Fuji Heavy may need to be more aggressive in expanding its manufacturing capacity in North America to capitalise on the growing demand for its vehicles, said Takeshi Miyao, an analyst at market researcher Carnorama Japan.
By 2014, the automaker plans to boost capacity at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana, by 11 per cent to 300,000 cars annually and is considering further expansion in the US. Fuji Heavy may sell 400,000 vehicles in the US in fiscal 2015, exceeding an earlier forecast for 380,000, Takeshi Tachimori, chief of Fuji Heavy's US unit, said in June.
In Japan, the company has said it will increase production at its main domestic plant in Gunma Prefecture by 20 per cent to 180,000 vehicles by the summer of 2013. Government subsidies helped boost domestic sales by 30 per cent to 47,528 vehicles for the six months ended September, led by the Legacy and Impreza, according to the company.
Despite investors rewarding Fuji Heavy for its minnow status in China, Fuji Heavy chief Yoshinaga says the country's potential is just too big to ignore.
"China is the largest vehicle market in the world and will continue to grow," Yoshinaga said last month. "When we consider local production, besides the US, China is the place. This plan hasn't changed."

Many of the kids are considered "half and half," having an Italian-Catholic father and Jewish mother. Pretty much Italians and Jews living in harmony.

Of or relating to the upper or middle classes. This term is not generally used by people in the American middle class, and using it may cause the speaker to be identified with the working class. When it's used, it often describes something that is "middle class" or "upper class", with positive connotations.

Of or relating to the upper-middle or upper classes. This can be in reference to clothing, behavior, tastes, pedigree, and more.

text: I wasn't around for any of the problems in the past that have happened with the chat room I've only heard rumor of why there's a time limit on it and why it shuts down for the night. The chat room obviously doesn't require maintenance in the sense that a moderator needs to be there during chats and I think we can all agree the majority of people that go there are mature enough to keep the conversation civil and PC so how about we leave it open 24/7? If it's an issue of policing it bans can be made after the fact (I've had it happen) and worse case scenario it turns out people aren't grown up enough to control themselves and the time limit is reinstated. As it is now some of the best conversations I never get to have are in the beesource chatroom. Perhaps an IRC channel would be a better way to go? I would gladly set one up if people would be interested.

As you know, we are huge Mizuno fans and this year's product launch has been very impressive so far. Waterproof stand bags have been catching on lately and for good reason, golfers that are more prone to walking the course are generally willing to brave tough conditions. Mizuno's new Aerolite WP Stand Bag is quite easily the nicest waterproof stand bag on the market. The Aerolite WP is based on the popular Aerolite platform and has many of the same features including the Kabuki top organizer cuff, Aero-straps with Slider Strap technology, cable grip, hydro-sleeve and shower cap. To make this bag fully waterproof, Mizuno constructed the Aerolite WP with their patented ImperLite fabric and features laser-cut heat welded zippers to keep moisture from leaking in through the seams. The Aerolite WP stand bag is offered in Black only with bright Mizuno blue outlines. Be prepared for those rainy fall days, order your new stand bag today!

Sword of Ares
I just wanted to share this video with you guys. Most of you may have already seen this video, but at 1:40 you can see the special of this sword and it looks pretty bad **bleep**. Hopefully they wont remove it. Cant wait to try out each weapon!
Ares will probably be my main What will yours be??
Re: Sword of Ares
Hopefully, he'll turn out the way Zeus is already as a magician in physical combat. Cause truth be told, I just wanna kick as s and take names. I have a blood lust just like Ares. Lol! Hades arms is pulling at me, but Ares is starting to sway me back his way.
Re: Sword of Ares
Re: Sword of Ares
My second choice is Hades, just waiting to see the other 2 God trailers. Im more of an offense player, so I feel Ares is more for me . Although Poseidons armor looks **bleep** good, decisions decisions. Depending on the consequence ill end up switching and leveling each God.
Ares in the beta didnt seem to have the damage he SHOULD have, its hard to decide when Zeus overall countered Ares since his defense is horrible.
Re: Sword of Ares
That is all too true.
I grew a hatred towards Zeus in the beta because of the balance issues. Lol!
C'mon SSM! Make the God of War THE GOD OF WAR!

Hello everyone!
I haven't posted here in awhile but I'm having a problem with my neighbors and would appreciate any suggestions. The weather here has been in the teens at night but up in the 50's during the day and my bees are flying during the day looking for pollen. I have had three of my neighbors call and complain that bees are in their chicken feed(egg maker) I have pollen patties on all three of my hives and also honey balls. It's possible they are feral bees but I'm the only beek in this area and my location is high desert with mostly scrub brush and cactus.

Don't get me wrong I love my truck and I have some fun in it, but why can't they make a truck that would compete with the Raptor? Something with a big motor, beefy tires and off road oriented. Can anyone answer me this? I'm seriously considering trading mine in on a Raptor unless they can figure something up. Just having a little fun on Sunday seeing what all the other Chevy (and GMC) guys thought.

How times change in Sri Lanka, and how they don't
For a good historical perspective on the abuse of journalists in Sri Lanka, Iqbal Athas, the recipient of a 1994 International Press Freedom Award from CPJ, wrote a center-page spread for the 25th anniversary edition of the Sunday Times, a popular weekly in Colombo. Athas, a critical journalist who specializes in defense issues, works as an associate editor and defense correspondent for the Times.
The lede to his article recounts a 1998 incident in which armed men invaded his home while he, his wife, and their seven-year-old daughter watched television. After the men left, the story spread, and all night, they received phone calls from friends and acquaintances inquiring about their safety. In his article, Athas describes how one of the callers was then-Minister of Fisheries Mahinda Rajapaksa. Rajapaksa was trying to make a name for himself as a champion of human rights and offered his support to the Athas family.

Baltimore still tries to utilize a stacked interior with Ngata and Kemoeatu. Even drafted Terrance Cody. However, Ngata can play anywhere on the line.
I hope to keep Joseph though.
I could see them playing on 1st and 2nd down. they have tons of flexibility if Rogers makes the team maybe him and hankins will be in on 1st and 2nd downs. then bring in jenkins,joseph,moore,jpp, and kiwi(at lb) and rush the crap out of the QB.
LInval is in a contract year but I don't see the GIants letting him go. If we go by numbers ok we just signed Jenkins given they play different techniques but Jenkins is good for more sacks and plays the run just as well. Linval has held the line up front for the Giants very well and he is a very good DT but I can't see him demanding crazy money. He is no Ngata or Suh. And I don't believe the Giants signed Hankins to become Bigger up front only to let Linval go a year later. The Giants are gonna cut some fat after this season is over and they will no doubt keep Joseph and JPP. I don't see Tuck getting a new contract unless he has a 10 plus sack season. Marvin Austin is GONE if he doesn't show some promise this year and do something with the play time he is given. Sean Rodgers is Old and I don't see him being apart of this team after this year either. I think he is here to groom Hankins and teach him as much as possible.
it is a matter of having enough to sign him. Look how many big name free agents that we have next year and then tell me where we will find money to be competitive with the offers that Linval is likely to get, or any of the others.
No matter how we cut it this team is going to look very very different in 2014 than it does in 2013. We simply cannot afford to keep some of the high priced guys we have. I would hope we do not lose Linval but it is entirely possible considering the sheer number of people we have to resign.
I'd love to see a 3 DT formation where a LB is replaced (alternatively, have a 3rd DT stand up at MLB) for short yardage run defense.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

So I bought a pair of the Target Blue leather gloves today as a backup to my 2 pairs of the Nordstrom Rack gloves I got 2 years ago.
The glove on the righ is the very worn in Norstrom Glove and the one on the left is the new Target glove. The Target gloves have a leather strap across the top but easily cuts off. I bought the L/XL size and they are very tight but I expect they will stretch out over time like the Nordstrom gloves did. I also took a shot of my hand so you can see the size of my hand.

Why Jason Terry thrives on closing out games
|11.24.12 at 1:03 am ET
When Jason Terry signed with the Celtics in the offseason, he envisioned being the guy who would close out games with his shooting. In his words, 'The uniform may change, but my game doesn't.'
The 35-year-old had made a career out of doing it to that point, so it's safe to say he was champing at the bit for the opportunity to make the shot that either gave the C's the final lead or proved to be the dagger in a game going down to the wire.
Terry got that opportunity in his 13th game as a Celtic, when, with the C's holding onto a five-point lead in the final minute of the game against the Thunder, he took a pass from Rajon Rondo and hit a three-pointer to put the final nail in the coffin and make it 106-98 with 51 seconds remaining.
Hitting a big shot is nothing new for Terry, who is fourth on the all-time three-point list with 1,808.
"I've been making a living off shots like that my entire career," Terry said. "I'm never scared of the moment."
Fourteen years into his career, there hasn't been too much to suggest that Terry should be afraid of taking the shot when it matters most. So what makes Terry programmed to want the ball in that instance? Surprisingly enough, it's a past failure from some 20 years ago that has stuck with him ever since.
Terry says that when he was a sophomore at Franklin High School in Seattle in the early 90s, he took the final shot with the game on the line in the state tournament and missed, ending the careers of many of his teammates on a senior-heavy team.
Terry has used that missed shot as motivation ever since, as he says the play taught him to be confident, make or miss.
"My coach always told me, 'You've got big balls to take a shot when you're the only sophomore on the team and we've got all seniors,'" Terry recalled. "It basically ended their careers, but it gave me confidence in mine for the rest of my time."
Since then, Terry's put that memory to good use, and his ability to sink shots in the clutch earned him his first NBA championship in 2011. With the series tied at two games apiece and the Mavericks narrowly holding onto a four-point lead in the final minute of Game 5, Terry hit a deep three to make it a seven-point game with 33.3 seconds remaining and seal the victory for Dallas. In the series-clinching Game 6, his pull-up jumper for two points in the final two minutes extended Dallas' lead to 12 points as the Mavericks and Terry went on to win their first NBA title.
Still early in his Celtic career, Terry hadn't really gotten to make a big shot for the C's yet, but he knew the time would come. On the season, five of his 20 three-pointers (he's attempted 47) have come in the fourth quarter, though none of them were of the magnitude of Friday night's dagger. His late three on Friday was the first three-pointer Terry had made in the fourth quarter since Nov. 9 against the 76ers, a span of eight games.
Now Terry looks forward to making many more big shots in games that matter down the stretch. After all, this is the same guy who already has a tattoo of the Lucky the Leprechaun with the Larry O'Brien trophy on his bicep. Terry wants to win, and he wants to be the one who closes out wins. All these years later, he owes that mentality to his missed shot as a sophomore in high school.
"Sometimes through your biggest failures, you [achieve] your greatest successes," he said. "That's just the way I've been bred. You hate for games to come down to situations like that, but I love it."

birthday girl
Can I still call myself a birthday girl when I'm pushing on the big 3-0? Well, I indulged myself in some child-ish birthday wishes this year when my boyfriend's mom asked me what kind of cake I wanted. After her son chose an ice cream cake shaped like a castle for himself a few months ago…
… I knew I wanted something fun for my birthday, too. A Minnie Mouse cake! Now, I had a great childhood, and great birthdays, but I can't recall ever getting a birthday cake handmade with such love and care as this.
Isn't it just the cutest? And it tasted great, too. Of course I had to dress for the occasion in my most Minnie-est of dresses.
This 30s red polka dot dress is a Mary Van Note classic as it was the dress I took my first comedy promo photos in, which you can see over on MySpace (ha ha, that's how long I've had this dress!). I wore my Minnie Mouse pin I've had since I was a little girl, too.
There's the genius cake baker, Joan.
It was a great night. Today's my real birthday and I'm looking forward to celebrating it with some beers and laughs at the comedy club. The good news is I'm not 30. The bad news is that I have exactly ONE YEAR left to accomplish everything I had hoped to accomplish in my 20s. So I guess within 365 days I need to publish my novel, write and sell a screenplay, get a TV set, have an hour special, record a comedy record, produce two short films, write and publish a graphic novel, get an amazing dream job, travel the globe, star as a kooky sidekick in a sitcom and movie, somehow get on SNL, make a couple million dollars to be able to buy my dream house, get married, and start a family. Whew. Well, here's hoping that I can at least get a good day job to be able to support some of those dreams. Wish me luck, folks!

Subtitles and translations for ESO videos
Followers of the ESOcast — our astronomy podcast with Dr J — can now watch episodes subtitled in multiple languages. The addition of multiple languages reflects the international nature of ESO and astronomy, and makes it easier for astronomy fans around the world to keep up with the latest news from the world.s most productive observatory.
The subtitles also make it easier for science centres, astronomy educators, communicators and anyone interested in public outreach to share the videos with the public. Whether it is during a class, accompanying an astronomy exhibition, or at a video screening session, the ESOcasts are an easy-to-use, free-of-charge way to inspire people to discover the Universe.
Watching our videos with subtitles
Where they are available, you can select subtitles directly in our embeddable web player, for example on the ESOcast pages on our website. Simply click on the icon labelled CC (Closed Captioning), which appears in the upper right corner of a video when subtitles are available. The subtitles are also available for episodes of the ESOcast downloaded in iTunes (on Windows and Mac OS X). They are also embedded in the downloadable files in the HD & Apple TV and Video Podcast formats on our website, and can be viewed in programs such as VLC (on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux) and QuickTime Player (on Mac OS X). You can even download the subtitles themselves in the standard SRT format.
Known issues:
- In iTunes on Windows, the subtitles do not work when watching ESOcasts as preview videos in the iTunes store (you need to download the episode to your computer).
- In QuickTime Player on Windows, the subtitles do not display properly (either play the episode within iTunes, or download the free VLC media player and play the file in that program).
Translating a video into your language
Would you like to see our astronomy outreach videos, such as the ESOcast video podcasts, subtitled in your own language? We are now uploading our videos to dotSUB, where members of the public can contribute subtitle translations. We want to bring the excitement of ESO astronomy to an even wider international audience, and we'd like your help!
To find out how to use dotSUB, you can follow the tutorials on the dotSUB site. In particular, watch the tutorial "How to translate a video on dotSUB". You can find our videos by searching for "ESOastronomy". We also group related videos together. For example, you can find the ESOcasts in the "ESOcasts" collection.
If you want to help us by translating the subtitles into your language, you just need to create a (free) account at dotSUB. Then, simply choose a video and start translating.
Notes for translators of ESO videos
- To join our team of volunteer translators and get advance notice of translation opportunities, please fill out the form at: Volunteer Translators
- We ask that translators should be fluent in both English and the language into which you are translating, and that you have a good understanding of the scientific and technical terms used in the videos.
- Write your translation clearly and accurately, using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. While your translation must as accurately as possible reflect the meaning of the original text, it does not have to be a word-for-word literal translation. You may, for example, translate idioms into equivalent idioms in your language.
- We ask that you check your translation with a friend or colleague for style and accuracy.
- Please translate all of the lines in the transcript, including the credits and information at the end. This information is usually the same (or very similar) from episode to episode, so it should not be too much extra work.
- Acronyms and abbreviations such as ESO, ESA, VLT, ELT must not be translated. Expansions such as "European Southern Observatory" or "European Space Agency" may be translated, if appropriate, but the original abbreviation ("ESO" or "ESA") should also appear.
- Video product names such as "ESOcast", "Eyes on the Skies", and "Hubblecast", must always be written like this and not translated.
- No additional information should be added to the subtitles, no URLs given in the subtitles (such as www.eso.org, www.spacetelescope.org) should be altered, and no additional URLs added, except with the approval of ESO.
- We cannot help with technical questions about the dotSUB system; these should be directed to dotSUB.
- If you have specific questions about the English transcript text, please contact email@example.com
- If you believe that someone has written something deceptive or offensive in a translation, please contact email@example.com
- ESO may choose to prevent editing of a translation, restrict it to specified users, or edit or delete a translation. We may export subtitles and make them available either as separate files or embedded in video files, which will be licensed under the same Creative Commons Attribution licence as the original videos.
- If you have contributed a translation, you may add your name in place of the "—" (or to the names of other translators) in the translation of the subtitle line "Transcription by ESO; translation by —".

Town Square
Razing Cain?
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Nov 30, 2011
So we are blessed with a constant spectacle of crime-fighting pols caught with expensive hookers, intercontinental hikes along the Appalachian Trail, footsie in the airport men's room and stained blue dresses. One newly-appointed governor even got the jump on us by pre-announcing his (and his wife's) past infidelities, before anybody had thought to inquire on the subject.
More typically, though, indignant denials beget humble confessions, complete (until recently, at least) with wrong-ed spouse – followed, after a decent interval, by redemption on cable news programs. Which is what makes this week's plot twist interesting: the unconventional campaign of unconventional candidate Herman Cain has unconventionally followed last week's indignant denials with a new twist -- the Consenting Adults defense. Through an aide, he has floated the intriguing notion that it's simply none of our collective business.
Whatever else that line of attack represents (a tacit admission, for instance), it does beg the question: apart from its salacious entertainment value, are there legitimate, public policy bases to care about this candidate's nocturnal meanderings?
It seems to me that there are at least three reasons why this might be the public's business – perhaps readers can supply more.
First, for the long-married Mr. Cain, there is the question of character and commitments. Past is prologue, and an individual (okay, a man, as this seems to be a chiefly male-dominated sport) who ignores the most fundamental vow of his adulthood is not likely to be steadfast in his political promises. In the extended seduction of campaign season, voters want to surrender themselves to someone who will stick around past breakfast.
Second, and somewhat contextually, is the issue of hypocrisy. A candidate who touts his family values and the tenure of his marriage, prominently sings in the choir and espouses taking personal responsibility for one's outcomes ought not to be exposed, in flagrante delicto, in a decade-long affair with another woman. As indicated, this factor will somewhat depend on the political positions previously assumed, but nobody runs on the Adulterers' ticket.
Finally, bad behaviors can leave a person vulnerable to blackmail. The Nevada Senator in the Godfather movies was a willing stooge after he'd been drugged and photographed with a murdered prostitute. Although many of the platform planks of Mr. Cain's Grand Old Party might better be explained by extortion than sound public spirit, I would prefer my President to be unsusceptible to such pressure.
So I am guessing that the Consenting Adults defense will have a short and undistinguished career. Like the ridiculous campaign video image of his campaign manager puffing away on a cigarette, it is an ill-considered move. We may have seen the last of it, with good reason and riddance. Some conventions are worth keeping.

You conveniently left out the credibility of Cain's accuser. Web Link

on Nov 30, 2011 at 1:58 pm
I believe your concluding noun should be plural. And this is from the article you linked:
"Ms. White spoke slowly and in a monotone in response to Mr. Stephanopoulos's questions. She seemed calm, if somewhat reserved. But more than her demeanor, it's her phone records that appear to be the most important evidence of an affair that she has produced so far.
And on Wednesday morning she produced more records. She gave ABC phone bills showing contact with Cain's private cellphone number into the fall – all the way up to mid-November.
"November 8, 13, 14 – he's texting you all month long,†said Stephanopoulos. He sounded astonished.
"That's correct. Our communication was up until just last week,†said White.
Wow. If this is true, Cain was in contact with a mistress during the very period when he was beset by revelations that he had been hit with sexual harassment complaints in the past. Was he trying to get White to stay quiet?
"No,†said White. "Never in a million years did he think I would speak out.â€"
It seems to me that with every new revelation, and accuser, the probability that EVerybody is doing him wrong diminishes significantly. I guess we'll see, soon enough.

Although many politicians have been caught having extra-maritial affairs, I believe the only politician who had an affair AND committed perjury under oath when denying the affair, was Bill Clinton. Having no respect for marriage vows AND having no respect for the rule of law and lying under oath about it, showed his absolute lack of character. Those who try to glorify Bill Clinton's presidency have a very short memory of his disgraceful conduct in committing adultery, AND perjury when lying about it under oath.

Dear Tom and Editor,
Your column above sparked a unique discussion among news service researchers concerning the public's right to know versus what makes good copy. It seems most researchers did not see a relationship between personal and public lives of politicians being any more important than the personal lives of major executives. Since such extra-marital activities do not impact review of executive job performance, researchers believe such activities have no need for public exposure unless they occurred during the execution of the individual's job. After all the coverage and public entertainment, such activities are only the concern of families of the participants and their lawyers.
What is understood by news researchers is such stories sell newspapers, websites and broadcasts, but it remains a concern, "Is it journalism?"

I believe 100 yrs ags a President's mistress birthed a baby during his campaign. Pres John F Kennedy had steady stream of serial affairs long and short, in the White House. FDR had a permanent
affair in the White House, with the UNacknowledged knowledge of wife and first lady, Eleanor.
Now in addition to Cain, we have twice divorced Newt, who now goes overboard with his newly found catholism. The most electable and truly, purely CLEAN from acandals and affairs, is Mitt Romney....but apparently, hypocritical, very UNchristianlike religious biggots don't really want a competent, clean, once married, non-lobbyist, Washington outsider, and electable nominee... who can also beat Obama.

Yup, excellent Tom, all of that and also perhaps the Erasing of Cain. His defense strategy is specious as you point out. Herman makes his personal business public when he campaigns for public office as a public servant. A concept that seems to be lost on most of this GOP field. Then one other addition to your three strike call. His wilfulness in defending what is unethical makes him prone to associate with those who are unethical, i.e., to make bad choices in his associations. That's a fatal flaw for anyone in public office.

Lift-and-turn drains
When the stopper in your lever-style bathtub drain won't pop up anymore because the linkage is damaged or clogged, replace it with a much simpler lift-and-turn style drain.
The linkage in a lever-style drain attracts dirt and hair like a magnet, and must be cleaned regularly in order to keep the drain working properly. The lift-and-turn drain has no complicated linkage to dig out and clean—almost everything catches in the drain grate. Buy the replacement kit at hardware stores and home centers.
Replace the old drain
Photo 2: Remove the stopper body
Cut a notch 1/4 in. wide and deep in the old stopper body with a mini hacksaw. Check progress frequently to ensure you don't cut into the tub. Wedge a 3/4-in. cold chisel into the cutout slot and pound counterclockwise with a hammer to free the stopper body (use caution when hammering so you don't scratch the enameled tub). Completely unscrew and remove the stopper body.
Photo 1 shows how to remove the overflow plate, the stopper body and linkage. The linkage may stick and be stubborn to remove. Grab hold of it and tug hard until it pops out. Screw on the new overflow plate once the linkage has been removed.
The toughest part of the job is removing the old stopper body, but it's all downhill after that. Remove the old stopper body as shown in Photo 2. If you're having trouble unscrewing it, try heating it with a hair dryer set on "high." The heat may help loosen the old plumber's putty. The old stopper body can also be cut out with a reciprocating saw and metal blade, but be very careful because it's easy to cut into and damage the bathtub.
All that's left is to install the new stopper body and stopper. Slide the new rubber gasket on top of the drainpipe under the tub and insert the new drain flange with plumber's putty on it as shown in Photo 3.
Use the supplied bushing if the new threads are different from the old. Screw the stopper into the stopper body and congratulate yourself on a job well done.

The Sidney Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers provides the following services for the comprehensive treatment of genitourinary cancers.
Cancer Detection, Screening, and Diagnosis
If you are concerned about your risk for developing prostate cancer, we offer detection services that include genetic counseling to help you evaluate your risk. Located within the Kimmel Center building, the John and Maxine Bendheim and Robert Bendheim Prostate Cancer Diagnostic Center welcomes men who are concerned about their prostate cancer risk or have a family history of the disease, a precancerous condition found by biopsy, or high levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA).
Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's prostate cancer screening guidelines and the diagnostics and screening services we offer.
Medical Treatment
If you need medical treatment such as hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, , biologic therapy, targeted therapies, or other new investigational drugs, you will meet with your medical oncologist and receive treatments at the Kimmel Center. Your therapy suite will provide you with a private and comfortable location for treatment.
You are welcome to bring your family members and loved ones to help you pass the time.
Surgery, Radiation Therapy, and Focal Therapy
Memorial Sloan Kettering's physicians are at the forefront of developing and applying innovative, high-precision treatments for genitourinary cancers. We have extensive experience in minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), focal therapy, and other advanced techniques.
If surgery or radiation is part of your care, your treatment will take place at Memorial Sloan Kettering's main hospital. In most cases you will be able to meet with your doctors for consultations and follow-up appointments at the Kimmel Center.
Sexual Health
If you have been diagnosed with a prostate or urologic cancer, you may be concerned about how the disease or its treatment could affect your sexual life. At the Kimmel Center, a specialized team of urologists, nurses, and social workers is available to help men and women address any sexual health concerns as they arise. We offer evaluation, diagnostic procedures, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as counseling and other support services. Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's sexual health programs.
Some patients find it challenging to maintain a proper diet, manage their weight, or cope with changes in appetite and taste during and after cancer treatment. At the Kimmel Center, certified dietitian-nutritionists are available on-site to discuss dietary options and help you establish healthy eating habits.
Counseling and Support
The Kimmel Center's team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers can help you address your psychological, social, and practical needs. Our counselors and support groups help individuals, couples, and families work through issues that arise during treatment. Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's Support Services.
In addition, current and former Memorial Sloan Kettering patients are available to speak with you as patient-to-patient volunteers, sharing their experiences and offering advice. Learn more about our Patient-to-Patient Support Program.
After your treatment is completed, the Kimmel Center offers comprehensive follow-up care and a range of services to promote wellness and cancer prevention. Your care team will identify and manage any side effects that result from your treatment, screen for a recurrence of your cancer or new cancer growth, and make referrals for other medical conditions. In addition, we provide education, support, and referrals for psychological and social concerns after treatment.
If you have been treated for prostate cancer, your follow-up care will be coordinated through the Prostate Cancer Survivorship Program.
Our Patient Portal
Kimmel Center patients can easily access information about their care via a secure Internet site called MYMSKCC. By logging into your MYMSKCC account, you can confirm and keep track of your appointments, view lab results, communicate with your healthcare team, and update your contact and insurance information. In addition, the service allows you to view financial balances and pay hospital bills online. Learn more about our Patient Portal.

I'm not sure what to say. It's nasty, Iraq is proving many of the assertions about them to be true. They are grossly violation Geneva convention by placing bounties on the heads of their enemies and showing POWs on TV. They launched scud missles which are considered WMD and then the fake surrendering and other perfidy is disgusting. I hope it ends soon. I think there are lines that shouldn't be crossed, ever; I think it is imparitive that we never give in to terrorists or their tactics like this. I can't imagine how you possibly justify their actions. I pray for peace soon. No more from me on this.
I'm a big fan of a clean build. At IBM once I worked on a huge project that had a perl script that built the makefile and then ran make. It was insanely complex and some dirt bag coded himself some job security with it. Adding or removing files was impossible without this guys help, I added a single cpp file once and it was broke for 2 days, you simply couldn't add a file to the list of files to compile. Currently debugging the same problem I've debugged at every other job. Some jackass puts a "perl necklace" (pardon the sick humor, but it is the best description I've ever heard for a 1000+ line undocumented piece of mission critical perl) on the build and we make a few changes and the build stops working. NEVER DO THAT! EVER! I honestly haven't run into something you couldn't do with GNU make, it might take a little script but it's always possible. ant and a-a-p do some nice stuff for you too. Bottom line: don't make the build too complex, don't have too many system deps for it, and don't leave it undocumented... I think this might be my biggest pet peeve, I think you should be fired for doing stuff like that.
Open Source Sabotage
Then last night I debugged another, very interesting bug. It was an intentional one. An opensource project, that I won't name yet, intentionally pushed out sabotaged code. There website had a redirect, if you downloaded it from some computers you'd get the bad code, if you downloaded it from others you'd get clean code. I was shocked that someone would put the time and effort in to something like that. Upon closer inspection they had some embedded messages in the software that were hidden behind a simple XOR-esque encryption and made to look like data strings. When you run the software you get a little nastigram about how you've been black listed. Any comments on the best way to deal with this with in the community? I'm inclined to start a fork. Anyone know of other cases of this? They didn't drop our IPs, they didn't contact our ISP or admins about anything, they intentionally sabotaged the download.

Reviews of this property
My stay at Tom's Apartment was fantastic! The apartment is beauitful, modern and clean. It is in a safe, central location. The design is creative indeed, and I had a relaxing experience. Tom is also great to communicate with and was quick to respond to any questions I had. Overall, it was such a pleasure staying at Tom's apartment. I would highly recommend staying here if you find yourself visiting Berlin!
Really nice guy, always helping, he wasnt in the flat because he was abroad.
I really recommend his place, was clean, beautiful and near to everything.
Hope come soon again :)

I agree that Brent, as a repeat offender and someone who has committed manslaughter, should be immediately suspended from the league, not to mention he should be serving jail time for said manslaughter.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Although I've been labeled as a "sympathizer" with Brent, I agree that he shouldn't be allowed to play. Feeling badly for him doesn't mean I think he should go unpunished.
Believe me buddy, this ol Jarhead don't feel sympathy for no drunk driver that gets behind the wheel & takes a life, be he or she my mother/father brother/sister/cousin best friend..whatever! You do the crime, you do the time! Same goes for people that are life long smokers/dippers/alcoholics & die of any sort of self inflicted cancer or drug related illness due to their filthy addiction! Sucks to be them!
That the Cowboys organization has yet to suspend this rat filth & is actually defending him tells me all I need to know about them as well. Also not disciplining Ratliff for mouthing off to & almost coming to blows with a senior citizen who is also the owner of the team makes the Cowboys organization even more of a joke to me.
No accountability or responsibility is required to be a Dallas Cowboy!
Very Sad, Condolences to the family of Jerry Brown Jr.
Josh Brent made a terrible mistake, this has ruined his life and his career.
You forgot to add "and took a life".
