Here be Dragons - Monday, 23 January 2012
The Royal Armouries today welcomed the arrival of the Chinese Year of the Dragon on Monday by highlighting many fine examples of the mythical beasts in its galleries at the White Tower, Tower of London.
The Year of the Dragon is the mightiest sign in the Chinese zodiac equivalent – representing power and might – and dragons are also well represented in British history, and not only through St George.
Perhaps the most impressive of the White Tower dragons is a new addition – created last year – that welcomes visitors to the Power House display on the top floor.
Standing 3m high, this fabulous "bejewelled" beast greets visitors with a dragon-like roar, as they pass by its far side. The dragon is formed from objects representing elements of all The Tower's great institutions – from weapons of the Ordinance to coins from the Mint. Fake jewels are used to depict his eyes and chains representing the Prison make up his tail.
Other highlights include:
- A pair of Burmese dragons, fabulously moustached and sitting atop a bronze bell, dated in 1797 and presented in 1874 by the Constable of the Tower Field Marshal Sir William Gomm, previously Commander-in Chief of British forces in India from 1850 – 1855. These dragons are depicted in the basement – currently in the process of being re-displayed and due to open in April.
- Henry VIII's silvered and engraved armour sports dragons on both the man's and horse's harness. Unfortunately both are being vanquished by St George – the one on the breast plate by George on foot; the other on the chest of the horse armour depicts England's patron saint mounted on horseback.
- The first floor contains a veritable flight of dragons. Perhaps the most obvious – and certainly the oldest – are squeezed onto inlaid decorative plaques on the saddle of the Hungarian Order of the Dragon. Those joining the order founded by King Sigismund of Hungary in 1408, were presented with a sword and saddle. Indeed this may be the saddle given to Henry V of Agincourt fame in 1416.
- Continuing the Royal association, the case opposite the Gothic dragons of the 15th century holds the tiny 17th century armour possibly associated with Charles I as a child. A spitting dragon crouches on top of the helmet, its tail curling down to the back of the neck. The helmet surface is scaled, and a fearsome monster frames the wearer's face, with growling companions adorning the pauldrons or shoulder pieces. 18th century visitors were told that it had belonged to Richard, Duke of York – brother of the uncrowned Edward V persuaded into the Tower for security in 1485 and never seen alive again. By the 19th century, the armour was more accurately dated but attributed to Jeffrey Hudson, dwarf to the court of Charles I.
- Darting back in time, the World Treasures' case contains a roaring dragon's head. Made by the German armourer Kunz Lochner in about 1550, it was designed as part of a crupper fitting along the horse's back, with the tail flowing from between its jaws. Today, the rest of the dragon rests in Poland.
- Amid the displays of the Great Collectors, another dragon lurks, clinging to the side of a German horse muzzle dated 1596. The fashion for such things was short-lived from the end of the 16th to the early 17th century, but they remain popular among collectors and this example was bequeathed to the museum by Dr Richard Williams in 1974.

Joshua Gordon, policy director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that seeks to educate the public about federal budget issues, told us that regardless of the wording, it's a fact that the deficit is dropping rapidly. . . .
But Gordon warns not to give too much credit to Obama or Congress for the drop in the deficit. That's mostly due to the growth — albeit slow — of the economy, bringing the government more revenue than expected, he said. The CBO says the increased revenue is also due to tax increases, most notably the expiration of the payroll tax cut and the higher rates enacted on upper-income taxpayers.
"That's allowing deficits to come down," Gordon said. "The deficit is not shrinking only, or even mostly, because of the actions of Congress or the president."
Nor has Obama or Congress taken action to solve the long-term deficit crisis facing the nation due to an aging population that will cause the cost of programs like Social Security and Medicare to soar in coming decades.
"They are reducing the deficit in the short term, but the drivers of the long-term increases in the deficit have not been substantially altered by any action of the president or Congress," Gordon said.

When it comes to the legalization of medical marijuana in Rhode Island, the question has generally been when — not if — it would happen.
Sure, Republican governor Donald L. Carcieri, whose vetoes have withstood the Democratic-controlled General Assembly in the past, could cite a litany of concerns, from distribution to the fear that legalizing medical marijuana will make it far more available to children. But by resoundingly overriding Carcieri's veto in a 59-13 vote, the Rhode Island House of Representatives on Tuesday embraced the compassionate theme long sounded by proponents.
The vote, capped by enthusiastic applause from supporters, makes Rhode Island the 11th state to legalize medical marijuana — and the first to do so since the US Supreme Court ruled last June in Gonzales v. Raich that the federal government can prosecute sick people who use the drug to ease their discomfort.
Showing a distinct lack of anxiety about crossing the feds, the Rhode Island Senate voted in support of medical marijuana less than 24 hours after the high court's decision last summer. And while such legislative support might seem unusual in a place with a strong strain of social conservatism, it reflects the intimacy of a state where everyone, it seems, knows someone who would like to use medical marijuana to better cope with such debilitating illnesses as cancer, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis.
"Two years ago, it probably wouldn't have been an issue with me," said Representative Thomas C. Slater (D-Providence), the lead sponsor of the legislation in the House. But after watching a brother, an uncle, and his father die from cancer, the representative — who has himself has been treated for the disease — sees things very differently. Speaking with reporters before Tuesday's vote, he noted, "There are a lot of other people out there who have friends and family who have been sick."
A three-fifths majority was needed in the 75-member House to override Carcieri's veto, and the outcome never seemed in doubt as the chamber took up the matter before officially starting the new legislative session. Opposition came mostly from Democratic rivals of House Speaker William J. Murphy and from Republicans, like House Minority Leader Robert Watson, a medical-marijuana proponent, who voted with the governor in partisan solidarity.
In a statement, Carcieri spokesman Jeff Neal warned, "This bill appears to violate federal law. Consequently, it will subject Rhode Islanders to prosecution by the federal government. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that state laws permitting the medicinal use of marijuana do not trump federal laws criminalizing marijuana. The consequence is that Rhode Islanders who rely on state law can still be prosecuted criminally by the federal government."
But as Anthony Pettigrew, the US Drug Enforcement Administration's New England spokesman, told me last year, "The DEA has never targeted the sick and dying, but rather criminals [involved] in drug cultivation and trafficking. We'll target major trafficking organizations and take them apart." (See "Rhode Trip," News and Features, July 8, 2005.)

Story highlights
- Wallpaper* has picked its best business hotels of 2012
- The winner is the Georges, a tiny boutique hotel in Istanbul

Tired of staying in anonymous corporate hotels? Maybe you should try one of the gorgeous lodgings named by Wallpaper* as its best business hotels of 2012.
A panel of well-traveled creatives picked the hotels from a shortlist. Highlights include New York's NoMad, which houses a two-floor library that turns into a cocktail bar, and the Fasano Boa Vista, in Brazil -- a resort that has natural forest and lakes in its vast grounds.
But this year's best business hotel is the Georges, a tiny boutique establishment in Istanbul's Galata district, which offers its pampered guests a private butler. Who says you shouldn't mix business with pleasure?

Oklahoma as a hotbed of radical activity? This tour explains all
When you ask Rachel Jackson about Oklahoma's "radical" past, she has plenty of examples.
"First off, most people don't know that Oklahoma had a really strong organized labor and Socialist Party presence," says Jackson, who has been researching all of this for a dissertation at the University of Oklahoma. "At the time of statehood in 1907, it had the largest Socialist Party state chapter in the country."
Then there's the anti-World War I march on Washington that culminated in the Green Corn Rebellion in 1917. And the mistaken notion that the term Okies refers exclusively to poor whites, something she says overlooks the contributions of African Americans and Native Americans to the state's history.
Jackson will be one of the historians leading a weeklong tour in July sponsored by the San Francisco-based human rights organization Global Exchange. It's called Radical Oklahoma, a tour intended to shed some light on an interesting history in a state known for being conservative.
"It's been fun thinking about how you present radical history in the form of a vacation package," she says. "How do you emphasize radical history when it has been suppressed and erased?"
Tour stops include the site of the Green Corn Rebellion, the Muscogee Nation Museum in Okmulgee to learn about uprisings by Native Americans, the site of all-black townships that once existed in the state, and some state parks too.
Participants then spend four days at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in the singer's hometown of Okemah.
And there might be a history lesson in this tour for Californians. One can't help but wonder how the radical winds affected Guthrie and Dust Bowl migrants who came to the Golden State to start over.
When: The tour runs from July 7-14.
Price: $950 per person, double occupancy. It includes lodgings, van transportation, airport transfers, trip leader and history docents (including Jackson), admission to programs and activities, and two meals a day. Airfare to and from Oklahoma as well as some meals are extra.

More than just a hunter
Chris Jurney recognized as 2012 Colorado Outfitter of the Year
January 19, 2013
"We're fortunate to be able to hunt a lot of different game, but I think lions have to be one of the most unique and outstanding trophies we have (in Colorado) because it's not something you can just go do. It's kind of specialized hunt, which makes each lion a trophy."
— Chris Jurney, 2012 Colorado Outfitter's Association Outfitter of the Year, about his favorite Colorado game.
Some say it takes a lifetime to perfect a craft.
And although Craig resident Chris Jurney, owner of Chris Jurney Outfitting, has no intention of slowing down anytime soon, the Colorado Outfitters Association cited a lifetime of achievements when the organization last weekend in Grand Junction named Jurney its 2012 Outfitter of the Year.
The annual award is bestowed upon a COA member who demonstrates a commitment to the outfitting industry, wildlife and wildlife management, and the ideals of the organization.
"He's very instrumental in bringing a lot of our programs before Colorado Parks and Wildlife," said Tom Mikesell, COA president in 2012. "He's very involved in wildlife and habitat issues, and he goes out of his way for the association and for outfitters, and he needed to be rewarded."
Jurney, 48, credits his father and grandfather for instilling a love for the outdoors and for wildlife at an early age from his childhood home in Golden.
At the age of 11 Jurney's family moved to Craig. He attended Moffat County High School, and first jumped into the wildlife and wildlife management business as a trapper after graduation before embarking on a 25-year career as a hunting guide.
About 12 years ago Jurney went into business for himself and currently offers elk, deer, antelope, mountain lion and a variety varmint hunts in some of Moffat County's most sought after game management units.
Though Moffat County is famous for its monster bull elk and heavy headed mule deer, Jurney said few things excite him more than participating in or guiding clients on a successful mountain lion hunt.
"We're fortunate to be able to hunt a lot of different game, but I think lions have to be one of the most unique and outstanding trophies we have (in Colorado) because it's not something you can just go do," Jurney said. "It's kind of specialized hunt, which makes each lion a trophy.
"When you look over the last 25 years and the number of lions we've taken, when it's over you're already looking forward to the next hunt."
But Jurney is more than just a hunting guide. He's a wildlife manager at his core, an ideal that aligns itself perfectly with the COA.
"The outfitting industry, as far as the COA is concerned, has pioneered a different level of participation across all wildlife interests, including legislative and lobbying efforts, to ensure we still have places to go and have abundant wildlife populations," Jurney said. "The bottom line is it's always about the wildlife and making sure as managers we have high success rates and enough wildlife to do that."

"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Excerpt: "New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
"He did OK," coach Tom Coughlin said after Nicks participated in the portion of practice open to the media on Friday. "We'll have to see how he is."
Nicks has missed the last three games because of swelling in his knee and pain in his surgically repaired right foot.
It is unknown if he'll travel with the team to San Francisco.In the two games he's played this season, the 24-year-old wide receiver has caught 14 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown."He'd be a huge asset to our team (if he's able to play)," Coughlin said. "But we'll have to wait and see."Domenik Hixon has been starting in place of Nicks." Read more...

He'll be there. This game is one Coughlin wants bad me thinks.

Mood: WOOF!
Excerpt: "Yeah. I would like to see what the coaches are going to say, what theyre going to say about it in the morning and what the trainers are going to say; but I think Ive got a pretty good shot, said Nicks, who has sat out the last three games due to swelling in his knee and pain in his surgically-repaired right foot.
I practiced. I did the majority of the practice about four or five reps a period, about what I would normally do on a Friday practice. I did good. I had coach watching me, asking how I looked, was I compensating or anything like that. I wasn't, so I looked good. I feel good about it. Well see how I respond in the morning and then theyll let me know. Read more..

Excerpt: "For many New York Giants fans, many of their fondest memories revolve around watching a group of dominating linebackers run around the field making plays. For the younger fans, many Giants fan say "there are teams in the league that have good linebacker play? I don't believe it." Today we use our 2013 NFL Draft prospect profile to look at a potential a first-round linebacker prospect, one of my personal favorites in the draft, when we take a look at Alec Ogletree of Georgia.
Excuse me in advance if I drool on my keyboard.
Unique athlete at the linebacker position. He possess terrific straight line speed. Even though, Ogletree could improve his strength, he plays violently. He's a super productive player, despite missing four games he racked up 111 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and broke up five passes while intercepting one. Ogletree has nearly unparalleled range and, as a former safety prospect he is good in coverage now, but has the potential to be terrific in coverage. Does a good job of going for the strip while also tackling the ball carrier. He has terrific length with the potential to develop into a good pass rusher as long as he works on using his hands and length more effectively." Read more...

Wildlife experts investigate recent bear attacks
ISLAND PARK, Idaho - Four people are recovering after two separate grizzly bear attacks Thursday; both within 50 miles of each other.
Wildlife experts said in both cases, humans entered into bear habitat and the attacks were just the bears reacting.
The attacks put the summer total up to three in eastern Idaho in just over a two week time span.
You may remember a researcher was attacked in late July in the Island Park area as well.
Idaho Fish and Game said this time of year, there are a lot of active bears.
The first attack happened in Yellowstone National Park when a group of four hikers were charged by a mother grizzly protecting her cubs.
Then 50 miles away, two researchers were attacked in Island Park.
"Idaho is bear country," said Gregg Losinski with IDFG. "Black Bears are everywhere and in many areas of the viewing audience, we do have a lot of grizzlies now as well."
The Wildlife Human Attack Response Team was out today, trying to piece together what exactly happened.
"When we were there, we looked around to see what the habitat was like, what occurred and why," said Losinski. "In this case, we found multiple day beds where a grizzly or grizzlies had been resting, not just this year, but for many years."
Day beds are a telltale sign of bear activity.
Experts said avoid areas where there's excavation, a large number of ant mounds, and logs full of grub.
"Unfortunately, if a human comes there when there's a bear then the bear might feel either startled or cornered and react by charging the individual," said Losinski. "In this case, biting, but moving on very quickly."
In both attacks, the victims had been bitten, but the injuries weren't deadly.
All of them were carrying bear spray.
IDFG officials said this time of year, bears are out trying to find food and get ready for fall; so it's important to make a lot of noise when you're outdoors and carry bear spray in a place where you can reach it quickly.

Hoffa at Obama rally: We need to take these tea party sons of bitches out
posted at 3:43 pm on September 5, 2011 by Allahpundit
Via Breitbart TV, this is Labor Day the way it should be — with a guy named Hoffa threatening his political enemies while a union-stooge Democratic leader sits by and smiles. Honestly, I can't decide how seriously to take him. On the one hand, this sort of salty tough-guy "we don't take sh*t from no one" garbage is par for the course for labor leaders when addressing the rank and file, and all the more so when it's the head of the Teamsters speaking. Sure, he makes $300,000 a year on the backs of his working-class constituents, but he knows conservatives are sons of bitches so his "authenticity" is secure. Plus he's a Hoffa; this sort of rhetoric may be congenital. On the other hand, so filthy was the the left's demagoguery of the right's "tone" after the Giffords shooting that this sort of verbal excess by one of their own will never, ever be allowed to pass again without their faces being ground in it. So here you go. Start grinding, please.
A Twitter pal argued that this could have been a "Sistah Souljah moment" for Obama if he had challenged Hoffa on what he said. Interesting point, but I think O had other priorities today — like, for instance, noting how "proud" he is of Hoffa and other union leaders. Oh, and also questioning the patriotism of congressional Republicans who might object to his new jobs plan. That's the second clip below, which doubles as a sneak preview of Thursday night. How rude it was of Boehner in hindsight to ask Obama to wait a day before accusing them of not caring about America on national television. Happy Labor Day, everyone.

Personally, I think Yuzuru is already one of the big things (figuratively of course, 'cause single skaters are all midgets). Barring injury, he has to be considered a podium contender at every event he gets to this season.
Also, lol at all the Yuzuru/Anime comparisons. I thought the very same thing about him the first time I saw him skate, too. His looks and bearings just hit that bishounen hot spot dead on. I've already seen a lot of fan art of him from Japan. He is a marketer's dream.

Photo Credit: A World at School 2013
International Day of the Girl was first formally recognized by the United Nations through partnership with Plan International on October 11th, 2012, to bring an end to child marriage and recognize girls' lack of rights around the world. This year, International Day of the Girl is strategically focusing its efforts on another crucial cause: girls' education. If girls and young women are provided the proper education they deserve, they'll be given the chance to build a better life and the ability to live independently.
AOL's brands have come together to promote one, cohesive message for a global cause. Each brand will offer a unique story in its category that sheds light on the importance of education in girls' lives and draws attention to areas across the world where girls lack the basic right to learn. Today, AOL Travel features several female authors writing letters to their younger selves, showing the power of travel in educating them in the ways of the world.
With each thoughtful story, AOL urges you to Raise Your Hand for girls' education with the goal of supporting Plan International's goal of surpassing one million hands raised.
Tune in to @AOLPR to read content from our various brands throughout the week, as they carry the torch for girls' education.
This week, several @AOL brands will feature content to raise awareness for girls' education across the globe: http://t.co/ayTGtC1Xlq

My first youtube video....yes its not the best but I though some would enjoy.
Wow, you're tough on those bees! Blowing 'em onto concrete. Perhaps into grass would be a bit less traumatic?
Regards, Barry
I went and checked and they were all alive. Its not bad I promise.
I'm still alive, but my ankle and shoulder hurt and impair me from working to my fullest.
Regards, Barry
Well I set the super on another super and blow the bees out over grass, I like to watch them turn and fly back to the hivePerhaps into grass would be a bit less traumatic?
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
we put them on top of hive & blow them back in front of hive. 5 of us,100 hives 9-10 hrs. Hard to watch them blow onto concrete.
Rmns 1:16/Prv.3:5,6/ Beegan BK May 09/ Zone 5b
I have NOT failed. I have only found many many ways that do not work!
Ok ok I should have blown them on the grass. This slab is surrounded by either iron ore or brambles so I did not have a lot of choice. I always get flack...lol
works best to blow from the bottom of the super. we usually set the super on a stand or stack them up and turn the top one on its end. this gives the bees a chance to fly plus no bending over.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
Yea.. we have been the leaf blower route too. Only took one season with BeeGo for us to be convinced. No more leaf blower... just too much work.
Well the blower is the way to go with us...we already have 2...I hate the chemical that mann lake makes...it smells soooooo bad...not to mention bee go. And it ticks the bees. A blower is natural to me as I run one a lot each week at work. I got stung 2 times yesterday during extracting- once pulling honey and once when I was walking bare-foot grabbing boxes of honey. It stones the bees so bad that they cannot fight back lol. Do it your own way but this works for me.
The other thing with doing it this way is that the supers are almost totally void of bees...try that with bee go.
Build yourself a lazy susan table on top of an old revolving drafting stool so that you can elevate the box and turn it around to both sides. Also buy a shop vac hose with a crevice nozzle to attach to the blower. And don't blow the bees where you will step on them.
This was only one hive at the breeder yard (concrete) that had honey..the rest was on dirt or grass...then I just sat the boxes upright on the hives and blew.
It may take you about 5 yrs to realize this(did for me) but the fume pads are 3x as fast plus half the work. You will especially notice this in a year of a bumper honey crop when you handle those boxes twice as much and they are full. We got 3 of the bg hand held blowers they only get used in the tail end of honey pulling when it gets late in the year or on cut comb they work good & don't stink it up.
good video never have tried blowing
you say not many dead or injured bees ?
Thanks for sharing
Nope...none at all were dead or injured...i looked today.
The only time I ever worked around someone w/ a blower they blew them into the front of the hive and into the grass in front of the hive.
Mike, have you had any handson advice or experience? I thought it was kinda strange to see what looked like blowing thje bees from one super right at another super. Carry many bees back to the honey house?
Do you wear headphone ear protection blowin' bees or leaves? I think I would have a headache.
Mark Berninghausen
That is not so bad, you blew them into the air, before that hit the ground.
I am from the "old school"... we stood them up in the yards, smoked like a mad man, then loaded them on the truck and away we went... our honey house was always filled with bees, but we set a ten frame empty with a few brood frames by the window every few days just gave us another 50 hives or so each year. Lol.
Btw, that was three men (two popping and standing up supers, then one would smoke while the other hand supers to the one in the truck that was stacking them)... we would pull about 400 supers in a day, then work through the night and next day slinging... then put them back on that next evening...
Three men, 2,000-3,000 drums per year... hive tools, smokers, and back aches... that was "real beekeeping in the pre-mite days". Lol.
What do you mean about handson? Hands on? If the latter than yes...one of the oldtimers showed it to me...folks said he knew his stuff so I go with it and it works.
Nope. No ear protection. One of my guys (lawn) does use ear buds with music but thats it.
OK think about this. KA already owns a blower. I did not have to order or pay (during a super slim year) anything other than some gas...which is cheaper than bee go. I have used the mann lake stuff before and it was not effective.
#1 Rule in beekeeping-Do what works for you despite what others say.

I am just a monkey man. I'm glad you are a monkey woman too.
by Sharpley November 17, 2007
In the spring of 2001, in New Delhi India, people began to report strange sightings and attacks of a 'monkey-man.'The police released a corny cartoonish sketch of the monkey-like attacker, who 'had claws for hands,' and went about jumping around the streets and alleys attacking innocent people as they slept. Fear and paranoia struck New Delhi as hundreds of reports came in about monkey-man attacks. Neighbors formed vigilante groups, the police formed a special unit, and politicians accused pakistan of sending a robot spy. All of this took place, reported on CNN, ABC, NBC, and David Letterman even had a top ten list about the nefarious Monkey-Man of India. People actually died. People were injured, but to this day, nobody really knows what 'monkey-man' really was. Later police, after taking part in the hysteria themselves, declared Monkey-Man a hoax.

1) A pretty lousy superhero that does not quite fit in with the true definition of superhero. He's like Robin Hood, in the sense that he steals from the rich. But then he shoots the poor... and the rich. He's a monkey/human crossover from a drunken hooker and a horny monkey. He fell into a pit of toxic waste and gained super powers. He has an all red body, a curly tail, and a really weird single ear that droops down the side of his face. He has a trusty sidekick the boy, who can't do anything right besides being annoying and dying.

7-hour standoff ends, suspect found dead
CROWLEY COUNTY, Colo. - A seven-hour standoff in Sugar City ends after the suspect is found dead in the home he barricaded himself in.
The incident started Saturday afternoon when a resident reported seeing a man who had an active warrant out for his arrest.
Crowley County Deputies tried to make contact with that man, but he ran away. While the suspect was running away, a resident reported that the suspect fired a rifle repeatedly in the resident's direction.
The suspect then broke into a vacant home on the 300 block of California St.
Authorities set up a perimeter around the home while they tried to get the suspect in to custody.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office SWAT team and K-9 unit, Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, Crowley County District Attorney, Colorado State Patrol and Colorado Division of Wildlife all responded to help the Crowley County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities tried for hours to get the suspect to come out, but he did not respond. SWAT members eventually entered the home, where they found the suspect dead.
Authorities say he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The identity of the man has not yet been released.
No one else was injured during the incident.

The Arkansas Travelers may have lost to the Tulsa Drillers, but LaShawna Wade of Little Rock walked away a winner Thursday night during Pulaski Tech Night at Dickey-Stephens Park.
Several hundred people signed up for the drawing at the Pulaski Tech booth that was positioned at the ball park's main gate. Dr. Dan F. Bakke drew the winning name during the third inning.
Wade says she plans to take advantage of the scholarship this fall. She has some college credit from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and has been working as a substitute teacher for the Pulaski County Special School District, mainly at Landmark Elementary where her 7-year-old son, Gabriel, attends.
The one-semester scholarship covers tuition and fees for the fall 2009 semester.
In addition to sponsoring the scholarship drawing and information booths, the college was highlighted in the evening's opening ceremonies with John Suskie, chairman of the Pulaski Technical College Board of Trustees, throwing the first pitch of the game.

Hi Folks, I'm the owner of www.urbanfarmstore.com and have gotten stung by the beekeeping bug!
Hi Folks, I'm the owner of www.urbanfarmstore.com and have gotten stung by the beekeeping bug!
Welcome to the site!
Hi there owner of the Urban Farm Store! I am a fellow Portlander who also has been stung by the beekeeping bug. Does your store have any beekeeping supplies? I haven't made it in there yet although I have a Chinook book coupon waiting to cash in there.
Do you have any bees? If so, what kind of hive do you have? How long have you been doing this (beekeeping?).
Teri (my real name)
Hello and Welcome, Not a good spring for bees but maybe that will make for a great summer of beekeeping. We have beginning beekeeping classes at our Clark County Beekeeping Association. They are over for this year but start again next Jan. Portland has a few good bee clubs also.
I'm not tense, Just terribly, terribly alert!
Hello, and welcome to beekeeping. Saw your post and went to your site. It's a hobby that, they say, gets under your skin. Ruhl's is closer to where I live, in Tigard, than where you are, but I still could see dropping by--I miss the country. Do you plan to keep your bees at your home or behind the store?

A third runway at Melbourne Airport would create a Tullamarine traffic nightmare if no rail link was built to go with it, according to the operator of rival Avalon Airport.
Chief executive of Avalon Airport Justin Giddings says he believes the new runway has state government support and is "a bit of a fait accompli", despite the infrastructure and noise problems it could create.
Speaking on ABC radio on Wednesday, Mr Giddings also said a new rail link to Avalan would cost $150 million, compared to the "billions" to put one through to Melbourne Airport.
He said Tullamarine's third runway would ultimately be a federal government decision even though it was the Victorian government that had to pay for upgraded transport links to the expanded airport.
"In my recent discussions with state bureaucrats, it is a little bit of a fait accompli. I think they are in favour of it," he said. "It would be a very brave federal government that would put in a new runway over the people of northern Melbourne while the state government's objecting."
Mr Giddings said Avalon airport, by contrast, was "ripe for expansion".
"There's heaps of capacity at Avalon at the moment. There's a sea at one end of the runway, the other end has paddocks, there's no interference with residents whatsoever.
"This year I don't think we've had one noise complaint. We've got plans for new runways as well but they don't go over residential areas. All the new runway is going to do at Tullamarine is just put pressure on the non-curfew status."
Extra runways have been the subject of public debate for years, and a new discussion paper reveals Melbourne Airport's preference for a third runway running east-west.
It is part of the airport's draft plan for the next 20 years, to be released for public consultation early next year and submitted to the federal government for approval. A previous plan, released in 2008, also included plans for a third runway.
The third runway would cost $500 million and be located south of the existing east-west runway. It would be three kilometres long, 60 metres wide and take between two and four years to build. Large passenger aircraft such as the A380 airbus would be able to use it.
Broadmeadows, Jacana, Gladstone Park and Westmeadows are the suburbs expected to be directly under its flight paths.
Thirty million passengers are expected to pass through Melbourne Airport this year. The state's Department of Transport calculates that a rail link to the airport will be essential if the airport is to function efficiently once it reaches 40 million passengers a year.
The Baillieu government is currently studying the feasibility of a rail link to Tullamarine. It also plans to build a rail link to Avalon, at a cost of $250 million, and is seeking federal funds to help pay for it.
Melbourne Airport chief executive Chris Woodruff said the proposed east-west runway would provide additional capacity for the forecast growth in aircraft movements at Melbourne Airport by the end of this decade.
"The Melbourne Airport draft master plan envisages that a new runway will be needed around 2018-2022 to meet the demand from domestic and international airlines as the number of passengers travelling through Melbourne continues to grow," he said.
"Passenger numbers are forecast to reach 40 million by the end of the decade, and more than 60 million by 2033."

I am making a bee that is resistant to everything. Only problem is that I am a biotechnologist and have no experience with beekeeping.
Is there someone willing to help? He / she needs experience in insemination and collecting a drone's sprerm.
I could pay him/her, for doing the insemination for me If possible, you could come to Ireland for three months (I pay the flights).
We make it happen before Monsanto does! Maybe we patent it, but we will never sue anyone if the genetic material mixes. I hate that practice!
As a sidenote for the anti-gmo people: It is totally harmless for both the environment and for the bees. No bee is hurt! We are working tightly together with EPA and will never release a bee until we get approval to do so.
(Inserted DNA is not dangerous in any way - it's just e.g. if a pesticide resistance is inserted into a plant, the farmer then uses the pesticide. And you eat the plant that accumulated the pesticide. Hell, that may make you ill, but it's not the GM plant's fault, since it's the farmer who applies the pesticide!!)
I have identified a lot of natural mechanisms over the last years from other organisms that we can put into the bee.
3 Months and we have our first proof-of concept bee, totally resistant against some viruses and perhaps Nosema resistant.
If you are interested, shoot me an email
All the best,

Weird Beauty Treatments: Urine Therapy, Bull Semen Hair Conditioner And More (PHOTOS)
What would you do to look and feel your best?
Would you rub bull semen into your hair? How about let fish nibble dead flesh off your feet? Maybe you'd indulge in some fire cupping?
Sounds like we're making all of these beauty treatments up, but we're not. Around the world, people go to great lengths to look younger. And some of the things they're willing to do are just plain weird.
Take the "Vampire Facelift," for example. Yes, it's a real thing. And we've been receiving press releases about its rise in popularity for months.
Would you try any of these random beauty procedures to shave a few years off your looks or face? Let us know below or online @HuffPostCaStyle.
Milk does do a body good. But the trend toward making your own soap -- to be used when you shower or simply wash your hands -- out of breast milk is, well, a bit extreme. The trend emerged as people started to worry that brand-name soaps were full of chemicals and detergents that would harm their skin (or worse, cause cancer). And since milk is supposed to nourish the epidermis, well, why not turn excess breast milk into something, ahem, usable?
Why not add a little bling to your beauty routine? Now you can -- if you live in Florida and have enough cash to dish out for the, wait for it, 24 carat gold facial. Yep! Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach offers spa patrons the opportunity to have their entire body painted in gold. The thought is karats can help stave off cellulite and prevent aging.
Just because Gwyneth Paltrow swears by this cream -- and its accompanying facial -- doesn't mean you should actually try applying snake venom cream to your face. Apparently, using a cream which has venom as an active ingredient helps plump up the skin (much in the same way botox does).
According to Metro.co.uk, a hairdresser, Hari's, in Knightsbridge, London, "has combined... organically produced [bull] semen with the root of protein-rich plant katera," to make an intense hair conditioning treatment. The procedure apparently takes 45 minutes and costs over $100.
This popular treatment has become a spa go-to for women around the world who want softer, smoother feet. Essentially, this treatment involves dipping your feet into a tank and letting hungry little fish -- Garra rufa fish -- gently eat away at the dead skin cells that make your skin feel rough. Some places and states have banned the practice for fears it may be unsanitary.
Fire cupping is a natural treatment where a practitioner ignites a cotton ball soaked in alcohol and places it inside a cup. When the cup is placed against a patient's skin, a suction action begins to happen -- which is said to increase circulation. Once "activated," the glass bulbs can be moved to key "energy" points all over the body to boost the immune system and increase blood flow (which will help give skin a natural glow, making patients look younger). A big fan of the procedure is reportedly Gwyneth Paltrow.
Who doesn't love a good soak in a tub? But one containing beer? Now that's interesting. All across Eastern Europe, people are "sudsing it up" in big tubs full of beer. The thinking is the hops and yeast are full of vitamins that will enrich skin with vitamins, exfoliate dead skin cells and help pores sweat out toxins. Here's how you can explore the beauty treatment trend yourself.
We almost can't bring ourselves to write about these beauty trends, but they're too weird not to discuss. In L.A., placenta facials -- which use placentas from Russian maternity wards -- are used on clients to nourish skin and prevent aging. And many celebs, including Victoria Beckham, hail the "nightingale poo facial" as their biggest beauty saviour. According to the DailyMail: "The nightingale poo acts as an exfoliate that brings out the dirt and dust that builds up in the skin and leaves the customer feeling refreshed."
A chocolate body wrap? Well sign us up. Sure, there's no scientific evidence to support the claims treating your body to some of the sweet stuff will soothe, smooth and detoxify your skin, but it involves sitting in chococlate for an hour. Sounds pretty tasty to us. Check out the spa devoted to all sorts of chocolatey good beauty treatments.
When we first heard that this weird beauty treatment may well be on the rise again, we had to do a bit of research. And here's what we found out: urine therapy was historically used by the Greeks and Romans to cure all that ailed them. It was also used to, ahem, whiten their teeth. Essentially, the procedure involves drinking your own urine in the hopes you'll look and feel younger. In modern times -- and on shows like 'My Strange Addiction' -- people have been known to drink urine for various reasons. Some scientists have even speculated urine has anti-carcinogenic properties -- which could stave off cancer and wrinkles. No real evidence has been found to support those claims.

Canterbury property owners with earthquake-damaged land are likely to share some $2 billion in payouts as the Earthquake Commission gears up to settle land claims.
Christchurch-based loss adjusting firm Mainland Claims Management Ltd is currently hiring assessors and estimators to inspect some 70,000 properties to quantify the cost of repairing land.
The commission has received more than 104,000 claims for land damage as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes.
EQC general manager for customer services Bruce Emson said two-person teams would begin checking properties this month, working from east to west, with the aim of settling all claims by the end of next year.
Properties would be assessed on a case-by-case basis with owners likely to receive payouts from "a few hundred dollars to possibly tens of thousands" for land damage ranging from minor cracking and splitting to lateral spreading and ponding.
EQC cover is limited to land within property boundaries and includes land under homes and outbuildings, within eight metres of homes and outbuildings and land under driveways up to 60 metres from homes.
Mr Emson said EQC expected to pay out "upwards towards $2 billion" in total land claim settlements and had already settled "over $4.1 billion" in claims for dwellings, contents and land.
Land damage was the "third leg of the EQC trifecta" following claims for dwellings and contents.
"If people have lodged land claims, they may be entitled to some form of compensation for damage to their land," he said.
The land assessments do not involve between 7000 and 8000 red zone properties where land is deemed "unbuildable".
Mr Emson believed a "good proportion" of the 70,000 properties to be inspected would be eligible for some compensation.
Payments would be made directly to affected property owners or to their financial institution if there was a mortgage on the property.
Mr Emson said there would be no cap and property owners would be under no obligation to use any payout to remediate their land.
The land assessment situation was "quite different" to the Fletcher/EQR residential repair scheme, where properties assessed as sustaining less than $10,000 of damage received a cash payout and those between $10,000 and $100,000 were repaired by Fletcher.
Owners whose land was assessed as a "total write-off" would receive a payout based on a formula calculated on the "minimum average lot size" determined by the relevant local authority.
Mr Emson said Mainland Claims Management had hired about 130 people so far. He understood the company was hiring local people and had been advertising for about six weeks.
"We'll have 200 people in the field, working in teams of two," he said. "This is in addition to our existing assessment teams."
Mainland Claims Management declined to discuss its contract terms but The Star understands assessors and estimators are being hired on an 18-month contract and be paid $60 an hour.
Mr Emson said that when the EQC programme was completed in Canterbury, claims totalling more than $12 billion would have been settled.

this idea is Agetec's Fighter Maker. In this fighting game, there is
an edit mode within the game that lets you make changes to the fighters and
and save them to the memory card.
First off, as a stand-alone fighter, Fighter Maker is not strong enough
to hold its own. The characters are somewhat stiff, frame rate is average. The
backgrounds are sparse and empty, and play control is a dummy clone of Tekken.
To create a credible editing mode, you'll at least need a solid foundation of
a fighting game.
By manipulating the key frames of animation, you can also change what the character
does in response to each command. I made one character have a Monty Python silly
walk when she moves. And I made Shaft do a funky dance while in a defensive
crouch. If I wanted to, I could program a whole dance routine in. But the interface
takes awhile to get into.
It's difficult and time consuming, but most of all, there is little satisfaction
in finishing it. Because who wants to fight in just an average game, even with
your own bastardized "created" character?
The game is very memory card intensive, taking one space per created character.
While you can exchange characters with your friends, it still isn't really your
character with all the details you'd want.

text: Hi, I'm just looking for some opinions about what kind of mods I need to do some light off roading. I'm not really into mudding or serious 4x4 action, I just don't want to get stuck on washed out roads or at the farm. I've got an 03 2wd Sierra, and I'm thinking BFG TA K/O's would be a good start, but I have also been told that some 3 inch lift spindles would let me run a bigger tire, which makes sense, but would this be enough for what I need? Again, definitely not boggin in the woods, just need a more aggressive look and peace of mind when taking a trail to the farm. Thanks.

Loosely based on the current Camry platform, the Highlander is four inches longer, three inches wider, and rides on a three inch longer wheelbase than the previous generation. As one would expect, there is commensurate increase in interior space. Second row occupants will find more legroom and adjustable captain's chairs that recline and offer 4.7 inches of fore/aft travel. For those who want a second-row bench, the Highlander hides a center seat in a compartment between the front seats that provides room for three. Toyota doesn't specifically mention an increase in third-row space, but we expect a more spacious third row; the previous Highlander had a small third row that was really only good for kids under 10. Front-row occupants are greeted by a particularly Lexus-like dashboard. Interior materials look first rate and more upmarket than before.The sole powertrain in the '08 Highlander is a 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 mated to a five-speed automatic (the 155-horsepower four-cylinder model is dead). While the 3.5-liter has 55 more horses than the previous Highlander's optional 3.3-liter V-6, the dimensional increases add a claimed 500 pounds to the new Highlander's curb weight which we expect to be around 4500 pounds. Despite the increase in power and weight, Toyota promises that fuel economy will be nearly on par with the previous Highlander which was 19 city/25 highway for front-wheel drive models, 18/24 for all-wheel drive.
Specs seem about right for the segment, but IMO the styling is quite reminiscent of Mitsubishi.Am I wrong on this?
I'm not a Toyota hater but I do hate this redesign!!! What were they thinking? I'm sure it will sell, well, because it's a toyota but couldn't they have done better.
Wow. The rear really does look influenced heavily by the current Eclipse.The front looks vaguely remeniscent of the current Subaru Forester.On the whole, it barely looks like a Toyota.
Is this an all new model or a refresh?All right, after looking at it I have concluded that it is not that bad. But it is nothing to get excited over either. If it is an all new model, it really lacks appeal. Will customers confuse this with the RAV4?

Students with disabilities should contact the Center to set up an initial conversation. Initial conversations are scheduled with the first available DRC Coordinator. The student and the DRC Coordinator will discuss barriers impacting the student's educational experience at NIU and possible solutions. One solution may be academic accommodations.
The DRC uses the definition of disability as stated in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the ADA of 1990, and the ADAAA of 2008. Students should come prepared to discuss how the disability limits one or more activities of daily living and how this impact has been historically addressed. If the student has recently acquired a disability and has not had disability-related educational services in the past, the student and the DRC Coordinator will review areas of concern and identify potential resources.
Documentation varies depending on the nature of the disability, but usually includes information about what the disability is, how it was diagnosed, who made the diagnosis and when, and the history of how the disability has impacted the student's educational experience. Guidelines for documentation
Students without documentation are welcome to schedule an initial conversation. The DRC Coordinator will discuss what kind of documentation is necessary and how to get it.
Students are welcome to invite family members, significant others, or legal guardians to participate in the initial conversation. It is usually scheduled for 60 minutes. Students will receive the DRC Student Handbook during the initial conversation.
If academic accommodations are identified, a notification letter will be drafted to share with faculty.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
Perfect location, city center (for us) in walking distance. Well connected by public transport. Clean and very efficient appartement, bedroom looks at quiet court yard. Absolutely to recommend for younger couples / families (staircases up to second floor).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Oh, and this is more of a Walstad style tank. Its a Fluvall HOB filter filled with two sections of bio sponge and one section of the concrete thingies that grow the bacteria. No carbon filtration. temps right now at 82, was set at 80. the lighting is just the bulb that came with the hood. Plants seem to love it. everything is green and happy, just not the Mollies.
dying female mollies...
I wasn't sure where to post this but since my tank is a low tech I thought I'd try here...
I have a 36 gallon bow front, planted. Have 5 Cories, a handful of ghost shrimp, some neons, snails I never wanted but got, male and female betta who have never fought or chased one another. All about a year old.
added some Mollies last weekend. On Christmas Eve looked in and found about 40 dalmation babies. fished them out into an old little tank. the next morning, the mother died. Then one by one the mollies started dying. Water tests are constant and normal. The black female molly started acting crazy and aggressive. the next morning the bettas were ripped up and dead and she was beating the heck out of everyone else. She got bagged and taken back to the LFS. Since then I've lost 2 Neons, and all but 3 male and 2 female mollies (all orange ones survived oddly, the different colors all perished). All the non-orange females have died and one orange female. The males have not. The 2 Neons, I think, were female. They were much larger than their school mates.
Started adding some salt, some pimafix in case the bettas were not beat up but had fin rot (it happened within hours so I don't know)....upped temps. One of the female mollies had a section of scales that simply peeled off in the water after she had died and I had bagged her to take back to the LFS...so after talking to the manager there and factoring in the bettas condition , we figured to try treating for fin rot....
I have frog bit, anacharis, wysteria, hornwort, java moss (new addition) and saggitaria (can't spell) and one more planted stem plant that I can not remember the name of. I also added a mopani driftwood piece I found on sale at the LFS recently and am dealing with the tannins leaching out. My substrate is Miracle Grow organic, topped with Flourite, topped with gravel.
And obviously I do not have a quarentine tank. It was luck that I had a little tank to get the babies into....and once they grow that will be the quarentine tank. Or I will set up a new one. about half the babies died but the rest are eating and growing! havent had a death past the first few days since!
My cories, and my ghost shrimp, unwanted snail population, are all healthy and happy. It seems whatever is going on seems to kill the females, or in the black mollies case, sends them into a tizzy setting them off against the others . When I say she was crazy aggressive, I mean like some sort of maniac...I've never seen anything like it and netted her as soon as it dawned on me what happened. There are alot of factors such as the addition of the java moss and mopani driftwood at the same time, the Mollies....the tanins leaching out, that could have brought in something but I can't figure it out. The female who died this morning had nothing showing on her that looked abnormal. She had been acting fine. I now have another female who has clamped fins and is starting to hide away from the rest...thinking she is next. But again, water tests show nothing different. Had the LFS test just in case my strips are bad, and they said everything is good.
I'm not bringing in anymore Mollies or other aquatic life forms till I can figure this out. any ideas? And just how much salt will those plants and other critters tolerate? I am changing out about 10-20% of my water daily/every other day to get the tanins down. and using about a teaspoon of salt per change. Going to stop the Pimafix because everything I've read doesn't seem very supportive of it or the other "fix" product. With no odd readings on my water, and no visable issues with the dead fish (except the beat up bettas that looked like fin rot but in about 12 hours time) and them all being female....I am clueless.....
and yes, I will find the room and the funds to set up a proper quarentine tank.

"I've got $30 — which three CDs do you recommend?" The fan was at the corner of the stage at Johnny D's talking to guitarist Dave Fiuczynski, who was on his knees hawking about half a dozen of his discs with different bands at 10 bucks a pop. "This one is similar musically," he said, pointing out the self-released Kif, for which the night's band was named. "This one's got the same kind of energy" — here he pointed to a disc by his band the Screaming Headless Torsos — "and this one's punk jazz" — this by his band PunkJazz. One fan complained that he'd had to forgo his homework to get to this gig. "I haven't done mine either," Fiuczynski answered. "I'm gonna tell my teacher the same thing tomorrow: sorry, I didn't get to that."
Fiuczynski's situation is typical for a Boston musician: involved in as many as half a dozen bands, on call when out-of-town friends like Don Byron need a pick-up band, teaching at Berklee, taking advanced courses at New England Conservatory. His band at Johnny D's January 31 was a quintet configuration of Kif: saxophonist Nikolay Moiseenko, keyboardist Jim Funnell, bassist Jeremy McDonald, and drummer Louis Cato. Berklee-related all.
Kif's theme at Johnny D's was Mahavishnu. They opened with a medley of "Birds of Fire," "Dawn," and "Miles Beyond," Fiuczynski sporting his Mahavishnu-like double-neck guitar, spitting out angular fusioned-up bop lines in unison with Moiseenko and Funnell, ornamenting them with John McLaughlin's signature, sitar-like bends. And Cato was a wonder throughout the set — working against the low, broken-line syncopated throb of McDonald's electric bass, he set up all manner of drum 'n' bass speed riffs and hip-hoppy funk. Moiseenko played tart abstract runs out of Greg Osby/Steve Coleman and, when called for, David Sandborn/Jr. Walker blues licks. Funnell in particular built his solos — a variety of Fender Rhodes sounds and "straight" piano, in funky staccato blasts and spare, modal scales — against Cato's beat. It's a brainy, ferocious little band.
John Tchicai — the great Afro-Dutch reed player who made his name in the '60s New York avant-garde and particularly on John Coltrane's Ascension — has been visiting town more and more often over the past few years. His recording with saxophonist Charlie Kohlhase and guitarist Garrison Fewell, Good Night Songs (Boxholder), was one of the best of 2006, and Thursday night the trio convened at Rutman's Violins (by Symphony Hall) for a short, sublime concert. The program, organized into a series of two-tune medleys, was less freewheeling than the CD, as if the trio were working up new pieces for the series of performances that would culminate later that week in a quintet gig with bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Billy Hart at Birdland in New York.

[quote user="Bread"][quote user="Falcons12"]However, vI don't talk smack. Sorry to disappoint I'm just looking forward to having a great time in NY and at the game. I have always wanted to go to NY for a game. You guys are true fans. Not like ours that show up fashionably late every game.
I sure must say that I have no clue what will happened on game day. I just hope that it is a close game either way win or lose. Well, would rather win of coarse, but we will see how that works out.
Now, for my question. I need some help from you guys. I am staying in Manhattan, whats the best way to go to the game? I was reading that the metro will take you there or we could drive to the place cal "Seb" something thats close to catch the train there. Sorry I can't remember what it was called. Any advice people? I greatly appreciate, looking forward to a great time!![/quote]From loudmouth Cowboys/Jets fans to this LOL[/quote]
Hey wait a sec. Aren't you an eagles fan?
Anyway fox has the listing for the WC Playoff game as Philly 10-6 vs GB 10-6 for Sunday at 1pm.
Lol. I guess everyone was so convinced the dream team was going to win SB that they are playing a rerun of phillys WC round loss to the Pack....guess us giants fans will have to listen to it on the radio..lol
That last paragraph should have been in red
