Town Square
Is Al Gore's Movie Funny ???
Original post made by Debbie Mytels, Midtown, on May 30, 2006
An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's movie about the impact of climate change on this planet -- as well as about how this topic keeps reappearing in his personal story -- is both funny AND sobering. Based on a lecture he gave here at Stanford and at other communities around the country in the past year, this documentary is both entertaining and informative, a "not-to-miss" examination of what's emerging as THE issue of the new century. Lots of beautiful photos and disquieting time lapse photography. Every thinking person should see it. Go see it at Palo Alto Square CineArts, starting next weekend, June 2. (Or come to the Friends of Acterra showing 7 pm on Saturday night, June 3, for some special actvities.)

There's really a big BUZZ about this movie! All the free passes that were delivered to Acterra this morning by the film distributors have been picked up already by folks from the general public!

Debbie, no surprise about the buzz around _An Inconvenient Truth_. As you yourself so accurately said in your earlier post, global warming is THE issue of the new century.
Everywhere I read, critics are raving about this film and about Gore's own self-reinvention. The imagery is, by all reports, jaw-droppingly startling. The movie is bound to be a tough wakeup call for all of us, but also fascinating.
I think of myself as educated on this topic, but I wonder if this movie will galvanize me to ride my bike and carpool more often, and turn off a few more appliances than I already do?
I hope lots of people show up on Saturday night to meet Acterra and (if they travel sensibly) enjoy some free popcorn.
See you at the movies!

Highly recommended! I saw the movie this evening, and walked away with a few thoughts. Certainly, I want to redouble my efforts to conserve energy and reduce my share of carbon emissions. I want to make several energy-saving home improvements sooner rather than later. I want to renew efforts to pressure politicians to address this issue. I want to spread the word. (Not only about this movie - for example, all Palo Alto Utilities customers should participate in the Green energy program!).
And after seeing the computer animation showing the new sea level around the SF Bay if the polar ice melt reaches projected levels, I want to find a home on higher ground. Yikes! We need to get serious about this.

My only comment after watching An Inconvenient Truth is:
And Bush wants to discuss gay marriage!?
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Reviews of this property
Al nostro arrivo menelaos è venuto a prenderci e ci ha avvisato di un cambio di appartamento, ci ha sistemati ad Atene anziché vouliagmeni, ma tutto sommato ci siamo trovati molto bene lo stesso, anzi l'appartamento alternativo era anche più grande di quello prenotato. Il tutto allo stesso prezzo ovviamente. Ci ha fornito lenzuola asciugamani mancava qualche sciocchezza tipo sapone e carta ma come detto sono sciocchezze, l appartamento era abbastanza pulito e ben arredato. Mentre ci accompagnava al nostro appartamento ci ha anche fatto fare un giro turistico della zona spiegandoci le varie località e i posti da visitare. Menelaos è una persona molto simpatica e loquace, consiglio vivamente questo soggiorno.
Reviews for this host's other properties
A very friendly host who was extremly intressted in his guests. He waited us with fruits and a lot of advise and suggestions. He solved all our problems with elegance.
For some reasons we got another flat than we ordered but the location of the new flat was perfect for us - 5 minutes to subwaystation from where we could reach whatever we wanted. Restaurangs and a grocery were close to us. We were pleased.
A suggestion to improvement is to look over the endowment of the kitchen. The host is 10 and the flat is 8.
Change of apartment the day of arrival without informing us in advance. But the apartment which we had the right location was great (very close subway and bus access, several museums around). The flat, clean, well equipped except kitchen level (only one usable saucepan and one glass). Another downside: the building is very noisy although one is in a fairly quiet area.
Changement d'appartement le jour de notre arrivée sans nous avoir prévenu au préalable. Mais l'appartement auquel nous avons eu le droit était très bien situé (accès métro et bus très proches, plusieurs musées aux alentours). L'appartement, propre, est bien équipé sauf au niveau de la cuisine (seule une casserole utilisable et un seul verre). Autre bémol : l'immeuble est très bruyant malgré que l'on soit dans un quartier plutôt calme.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Menelaos is a good host he always is ready if you need something.
The apartment was comfortable, clean and you have all you need.
The bad point you have not internet wifi but the rest it was good.
thanks Menalaos keep in touch.
He said he could not go because I was late, closed the book, and I charged all the money, without even going. I hope it's a mistake. I was not there I feel cheated
Me dijo que no podía ir porque llegaba tarde, cerró la reserva y me ha cobrado todo el dinero, sin ni tan siquiera ir. espero que sea una equivocación. No estuve allí me siento estafado
I had a pleasant stay in an exellent environment.
Overall good: good location (10 minutes from the center), quiet (except one night when a woman gave to scream ...) and the apartment had announced what (room with kitchen and bathroom). Just mention the discomfort of the bed. Appropriate value for money.
En general bien: buena ubicación (a 10 minutos andando del centro), zona tranquila (excepto alguna noche cuando una mujer le dió por chillar...) y el apartamento tenía lo que anunciaba (habitación con cocina y baño). Sólo mencionar la incomodidad de la cama. Adecuada relación calidad precio.
--sofa bed in addition to futon bed
--balcony – no view, but nice to sit outside on
--safe, residential part of town
--internet café across street, convenient for confirming airline reservation
--Menelaos's friend who let us in and explained the features of the apt. was very helpful
--very reasonably priced
--Menelaos had turned off his cell, and so we upon our arrival we had to wait around quite a bit before we were able to contact him
--the neighborhood is often noisy in the evening
--it a bit far from everything unless you are a good walker (12 minutes to Evangelismos metro; 20-25 minutes to Plaka)
--no coffee maker
--no microwave, but wasn't missed b/c of good cookware
--there is an iron, but no alarm clock
Upon arrival, Menelaos contacted me. Excellent apartment, but there was a change of apartment without consulting in advance. Apartment was beautiful but a bit further from the center. Outside this very satisfied.
Bij aankomst heeft Menelaos contact met me opgenomen. Prima appartement, wel was er een wisseling van appartement zonder overleg van te voren. Appartement was mooier maar wel wat verder van het centrum. Buiten dit zeer tevreden.

"I have laughed so much during this thread...not at anyone just at the funny way all the parallel posts are interweaving and all the interesting historical themes, political, religious, everything! Am loving all the personality that has come through the posts as well...has been feeling like being at a really good party where you hear a whole bunch of interesting/funny conversation going on around you and you know at the end of the party you'll have a lot to talk about on the car ride home.
Mark, what is it with guy beekeepers and quilting? I have never heard you mention this before! There is a guy in our club who also quilts but we knew him as a beekeeper for 10 years before we found out that not only does he quilbt but has an entire floor or his house for a studio...his wife had her own quilting studio on another floor....she wasn't a beekeeper.
Ramona "
i also thought it was kind of neat the way the conversation was twisting and turning.
not unexpectly, the off topic discussion was moved to tailgater, but not everybody was able to move there with it.
so, as an experiment, here is a thread that's not a thread. no topic, and being in 'coffee klatch', no subject is taboo.
anybody interested in seeing where this can go?

Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder !!!
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
The apartment exceeded our expectation and it was perfect for my husband's 70th birthday family celebration. It was very spacious and well equipped for 7 people. The views were incredible - it must have the best view in Venice and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.The location is perfect too, very central and yet private. Our host Barbara and her colleague Valentina were extremely helpful and nice. We shall definitely return.
What a fantastic apartment! The position overlooking the Grand Canal, with balconies looking out opposite the Rialto Market is simply sublime to watch Venice go about its business. 5 mins walk to the water taxi stops of Ca D'or or Rialto. It is also a huge apartment in size. Easily sleeps 7 comfortably (and could be 8 if the single room had a double bed in it). Fully equipped,everything we needed, also has good Wi-Fi. Booking and service by Barbara and Valentina were superb - great information prior to arrival, met on arrival and talked through everything, restaurant recommendations, location etc. As others have mentioned there is some noise from the bar below and the dock itself as its used to load/unload, but Venice is a city and this is to be expected, so bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper and you will be fine - it didn't bother us. Again, superb location, wonderful apartment, great service - we will be back!
Lovely view and perfect position - however, very noisy, next to a bar which at the weekend played music till 3am and on other nights cleared bottles and rubbish at 5am!
Organisation on arrival was very poor - arrangements made with Barbara had not been passed on to local staff and caused unnecessary hassle.
On departure the staff member checking the apartment was very abrupt and rude, wanting to fine us for leaving bagged rubbish, stating that instructions were clear in our written guide - which was actually in Italian!
The apartment was in an excellent position, easy to walk to all districts in Venice, being situated very close to the Accademia Bridge over the Grand Canal. It was also a few doors down from an excellent restaurant; expensive but the quality of food was superb and service friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the view from the living room balcony which looked out onto a quiet canal and gave us a flavour of working Venice as opposed to Tourism. We were a bit concerned at the state of the floor in the main room which was wooden and some of the squares were collapsing which meant being very conscious of them when walking around. We were also disappointed in the lack of cooking facilities; there was only a hob with two hot plates, no grill or oven which was a pity for us as we eat a lot of fish and were looking forward to buying some from the famous fish market in Venice. However the representatives were friendly and helpful and sorted out water taxis for our return to the airport. We did enjoy our stay in Venice and couldn't have asked for a better location.
Jan Appleby September 2015
Amazing location, excellent accommodation.
The flat is excellent and the view is extraordinary!
Lovely living room, comfortable rooms and good space in the kitchen.
I do recommend this property for you vacancy!
The location is fantastic. The balconies look right out over the Grand Canal, with views of the Rialto Bridge. It is a spacious apartment, and its living and dining rooms look out on the Grand Canal. We spent much time on the balconies enjoying the life of the canal - gondolas, vapoettos, and all of the working boats that are really the "trucks" of Venice. The Grand Canal is vibrant and alive -- a truly fabulous place to be. Plus, the apartment is located on a back street far away from the crowds of Rialto, and there is a wonderful small restaurant called "Taverna al Remer" right next door. The kitchen was good, and we cooked all our breakfasts and one dinner there.
If I could, I'd rate it 4.5 stars (not 5) for a minor reason which may or may not matter for others. The apartment easily accommodated the 7 of us, it did not have enough of the essential supplies (toilet paper, trash bags, bath soap and dishwasher detergent), so we had to spend time shopping for them. Overall, we'd love to return to this wonderful apartment. Given its location, it is a true bargain, and a gem.
Met on time by Venetian Lorenza - very helpul and professional - flat has wonderful views of Rio del Megio (Campiello opposite was painted by very famous 19th American artist). Great facilities close by in Campo Giovanni del Orio - supermarket and cafes/restaurants (Il refolo by the Church serves one of the best Francia Cortas), wine shops - all good. Air conditioning ice-cold if required.
Shower has mobile head and adequate. Evenings can be noisy due to to "concerts" (I'm being kind) in the Campo. Very beautiful part of Venice. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. George and Denise
Well, we probably expected a little bit too much for this apartment. But the price suggested perfection, which was not in every aspect the case.
Positive: the kitchen is really good equipped, good tools (even one spatula from Rösle) and the china, cooking pots, cooking knifes and cutlery are in shape and of high standard. There is a booklet about the renovation of the apt., which shows very well how intensive and costly the renovation was.
Neutral: the pictures in Wimdu give a impression that the apt. is bigger as it really is. But it is lovely decorated and the pictures are showing the reality.Room upstairs is very small, but the bathroom is nice.
Not so positive: the television gets its signals from Hotbird satellite, with loads of arab - religious - XXX related channels, but Rai 1 for example one does not get. This was really more than a pitty during the World Cup Finals and has to be changed big time. 90% of the channels are scrambled/ pay TV channels. The rest: see above.
There is no Wireless Lan installed and the apt. does not have a terrace with a view over the city. There are other apt. here in Wimdu which have that and we missed it a lot! Regarding the price per night for this apt. I think at least wireless lan with a reasonable speed is an absolute must. After asking we got W-Lan from Barbara with 3G speed. Normally this is NOT included in the daily fee.
We did not have hot water the first night, but next day by noon Barbara fixed it. But it is the fact that one third of our stay we did not have hot water!
Resumé: really nice apt., which is not really a bargain with need of improvement in details. Therefore "only" 4 stars.
We were in Venice for the Easter-week 2014.
We stayed in a well situated Apartment, close to several nearby good restaurants and shoppingplaces. The Apartment is situated in an autentic part of Venice. The Apartment is spacy and cosy with a lovely roof-terrace. We were 6 adults and enough room for everybody.

FA Cup
Roker Park
January 15, 1997
Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to January 1997 for Arsenal's FA Cup third-round replay against Sunderland at Roker Park.
What appeared to be an inconspicuous Cup tie just three months into Arsène Wenger's reign as manager was transformed into a fixture best known for one moment of pure inspiration.
This was the third meeting in 11 days between the two sides as Arsenal looked to avenge their narrow Premier League defeat in the North East just four days prior.
Sunderland had forced a 1-1 draw at Highbury in the first Cup meeting between the two sides after a rare Michael Gray strike had cancelled out John Hartson's early opener.
Heading into the replay at Roker Park, this was a competition that, after the success of 1993, had not proved too favourable. Arsenal had not progressed past the fourth round since, heading out even earlier in the previous two campaigns.
But the FA Cup had barely been introduced to Dennis Bergkamp by then.
After a drab first half on Wearside, it was Wenger's men - or Bergkamp more specifically - who took control. If the initial pirouette wasn't an omen of what was to follow, the finish certainly proved it.
After bamboozling a helpless Sunderland player with a double drag-back, the Dutchman glided into the box and clipped a delightful effort past Lionel Perez. He had no right to shoot, but that was Bergkamp all over.
Roker Park had seen its fair share of impressive goals over time, but in its last year, few would have dazzled like the Dutchman's.
Peter Reid, the hosts' manager on the day, admitted: "I starting clapping myself, until I realised I was Sunderland's manager."
Stephen Hughes, also pictured, capped the scoring in the 65th minute to seal Arsenal's progress to the fourth round.
Arsenal: Seaman, Winterburn, Vieira, Bould, Adams, Platt, Merson, Bergkamp, Keown, Parlour, Hughes. Subs not used: Morrow, Lukic, Shaw.

The Challenge in Capturing Liquid Smoke
Machining hard metals with straight-oil coolant can generate "liquid smoke" that can be difficult to capture. Here are some factors to consider when developing a mist collection system for this pesky machining byproduct.
At 0.7 micron in size, liquid smoke droplets are almost 30 times smaller than average mist droplets, and capturing them requires a very efficient and well-thought-out mist collecting system.
"Liquid smoke" is created by processes that heat and/or compresses fluids under high pressure, such as machining hard metals with straight-oil coolants. These processes produce a vapor that condenses back into a cloud consisting of liquid droplets measuring as small as 0.7 micron. These are smaller than droplets found in traditional machining mist, although both present health, safety and environmental risks if not properly captured.
In this article, Nick Welter, district manager for Donaldson Torit, provides three steps for developing an efficient, well-thought-out mist collecting system for liquid smoke.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports ex-Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell is attempting another comeback.
The last we heard of the former No. 1 overall pick, he was attempting a "comeback" with the Louisiana Swashbucklers of the Professional Indoor Football League in December 2011. According to Rapoport, the famously portly quarterback currently tips the scales at 305, but is hoping to get down to 265. Good luck, JaMarcus. Brett Favre is among the players who have played NFL football more recently than Russell.
the famously portly quarterback currently tips the scales at 305
"I'm not looking for a pat on the shoulder from people who haven't been there for me," Russell said. "It feels funny not to go through a training camp, that's just what I'm used to. It's going to feel good to go back out there again. I will make this happen."
I don't get why a solid trainer wouldn't lock himself on to Russell with a contract with nothing up front but a percentage when signs a deal.
First thing that needs to happen is he needs to move away from his friends and family, live by himself, and throw away his cell phone.

text: List some with vids if possible. I don't think Zbikowski is that great in coverage, but he has good hands runs a 4.3 40 and is great as a punt returner. He might be worth a look later in the draft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvg1CtWdlEI Who else? I'm thinking we might not go DB early in the draft since we have so much money tied down to it already and Jerry likes Watkins(based on his statement of answering from within) so i figured we'd likely add a guy later in the draft. Any thoughts on who we may like that is under the radar and a 2nd day pick?


text: Fox 4 has finally aired some great TC footage now that they have gotten over the QC thing. The fan crowds are absolutely hugh out in Oxnard. Julius Jones, Vinny Testaverde, and Keyshawn Johnson appear to amped up by the Fans that showed up for TC. Julius Jones said: " now I know why they call us America's team," with a big ear to ear grin. Testaverde's height really stands out within the group of team members. Lot's of great comments from Troy Aikmen reguarding what he has seen at TC. I am pumped watching all of this TC footage. P.S. Sorry to all of you fans around the world that don't get to see the great local coverage that we do here in Dallas. Things are really looking good!

Think of this exfoliating scrub as a hardworking, highly effective personal assistant for your face. This multitasker sweats the small (but highly annoying) stuff—blackheads, clogged pores—so that you can focus on the big things. Bonus: It smooths and refines your skin too.
This is EXACTLY the same as Acrona's Cranberry Gommage that Birchbox used to sell (in the women's section) but for some reason they don't carry it anymore! Thankfully, I went on Arcona's page and saw that this has the exact same ingredients. It smells great (kind of like blueberry/sweet tarts) and is an amazing exfoliant. You can add water to make it a little more gentle if you find it too rough, but I love the consistency of it without adding water. Cleans very well and gives you a fresh face. Again, if you're looking to purchase the discontinued Cranberry Gommage... get this; it's the same product, just different packaging for men.5
From the first moment I squeezed out a pea-sized amount of this blue, sandy wondergoo and swiped it over my face, I was in love. The product smells like blueberry pie filling, washes off clean, and leaves my face feeling fresh, but never dry or wind tunnel-tight. And when I say, "washes off clean," I also mean it won't obnoxiously linger on the floor, cling to the walls of your shower, or require a Liquid Plumbr purchase of any kind.
And before a shave? Forget about it--you won't ever feel the same way about your morning routine.

You're right. I have an RPD BC, and the feed stud is off-center to the left. It will take some engineering. I've had a few problems with the bolt & BC UNLOCKING - need to get that straightened out first. Most of the other build basics are falling into place nicely. Will be using a twin-spring set-up much like 2XTM's, but simpler to build, using UN-captured springs
The piston / gas tube set-up is well underway. You'll like it - pics will be coming along when I get time at home

Hi everyone,
Got a call to rescue a small swarm today but the swarm has been clustered in the tree long enough to build 5 combs about the size of a bread and butter plate each. I've cut the branch off and it's currently sitting in the middle of an 8 frame box with 2 frames either side of it. How should I proceed from here to get the girls onto frames? Do I just sacrifice the small amount of brood and stores to date by shaking them onto the frames and treat it as a swarm? Or do I try and save the combs somehow?
In case you haven't guessed I'm new to this.

More movie fun
Mileage: 13
March mileage: 606.2
Temperature: 37
I did a short ride up the Dan Moller Trail today that turned into more of a moderately long hike. I was gone for nearly three hours, but the opportunity to leave the house and its incessant blaring of college basketball, plus the four-mile descent that takes all of 15 minutes, made it all worth it. I made another short video today during the downhill run. This one is much better than Friday's. I got a better angle by stuffing my Olympus point-and-shoot in my goggles, so I had a ghetto helmet-cam thing going on. One thing I noticed after watching the clip is that it actually makes the ride seem fairly smooth - there's no indication that I spent most of the narrow stretch correcting my line with my handlebars while my rear wheel fishtailed wildly in the snowmobile-churned sugar snow. It may be proof that I do in fact have sound upper body handling - or it could just be poor quality footage. Either way, I got my hands on some video editing software, so today there is music and titles. Enjoy!

I can't decide if I'm jealous of you still having a pile of snow, or if I'm glad ours gone....

Now, THAT was fun! I read your blog all the time, and of course I know you ride in the snow, but having no personal experience with snow, it's hard to imagine what pedalling a bike in powder is like. Finally, I can see why you might like it. Alaska is incredibly scenic. So completely different than my environment. Where I live in N.C., it hasn't snowed more than about 1" since 2003.ReplyDelete
That is just way too cool! Good choice of lyrics :)ReplyDelete
So how many snowshoers did you knock over on the way down? :-)ReplyDelete

haha, oh my goodness, I was only halfway through it when I asked about the snowshoers. Which made the ending even funnier...ReplyDelete

When you're stressed out' your physical health and comfort can suffer. Stress can interfere with digestion' leaving you with uncomfortable stomachaches' diarrhea' constipation' and more. The fear of embarrassing symptoms can add to your woes' creating additional things to worry about. Meanwhile' your joints and muscles may become painful and stiff; while many find that physical activity can be a stress reliever' you can't partake if you're hurt.

Rutin may help protect your body from the effects of oxidative stress' while papain and bromelain support protease absorption. Since A.I. Enzymes' ingredients are stable in a wide pH range' they can survive the acidic environment of your digestive tract.
In addition to supporting good digestion when taken with meals' A.I. Enzymes may have additional musculoskeletal benefits when taken between meals. Its enzymes may promote healthy levels of fibrin and kinins' which support joint and muscle functioning.
Each bottle of A.I. Enzymes by Pure Encapsulations contains 60 capsules.

The bottle of (60 capsules) A.I. Enzymes I just received has a different label that those I have gotten before and it does not include the phrase "hypo-allergenic. The bar code number is the same, but the label does not have the code: AIE6 on it. Is this the same product, or should I return it?A

Hello, thank you for contacting PureFormulas. Yes it is the same exact product they have just changed the label.

the cream is ok but smell is not!
Nice smell, not moisturizing - at least in my experience
Posted by Trinity on Apr 04, 2014 | Verified Purchase
The sent is very nice, but I can smell some alcohol in the first few minutesThe amount is quite small for the price and I don't feel any real moisturizing effect on my skin. It stays firm and tight, but I want it soft and moisturized. It might be good for people with sagging skin, but I wasn't looking for that effect, I wanted something to soften my dry skin.
Good quality hydrating cream

This cream hydrates my skin all day long and is one of my favourites so far! I would gladly use it more often if it the price was a little more economical, especially being such a small tube.

I love this lotion. Finally a great performing lotion that doesn't have nut oils in it. If you're looking for something to sooth and moisturise sensitive/dry skin, this is the best I have found after years of trying other natural/organic lotions. I wish it came in a larger tube.

Grayson Highlands State Park
Mouth of Wilson, Virginia
At more than 4,000 feet above sea level, the "Rooftop of Virginia" is just a little over 53 miles from the Tri-Cities.
In these high mountains, you will also meet some of the park's unofficial greeters, wild ponies. In fact, this is the state's only park that offers overnight camping for horseback enthusiasts.
The park has a sense of its historical roots with a representation of a mountain farm called The Homestead owned by a civil war veteran named Ingram long before the park came along.
They also offer guided backpack tours to the Mount Rogers Hiking Tree and canoe trips down the New River.
Such a place as this brings out the kid in us all, a sense of discovery and being a part of the big picture, and all of this is less than a tank of gas away.

If the pumping action results in a see saw action of those barb stingers they could walk their way in deeper, one pushing against the other. That would be one clever sting mechanism.

The strength of the 2011 draft class is said to be the defensive line by many draft experts. Many of the lineman met with reporters on Saturday including the sons of a pair of former NFL players. One of the defensive lineman still has memories of going against Jake Long while Long was at Michigan 3 years ago.
by Andy Kent
INDIANAPOLIS – In what was a true picture of contrast, some of the top defensive linemen at the Combine put on a show for the media this morning at the same time as the offensive linemen were putting on a show on the field.

Just follow these simple steps:
Call Australia from 1p/min! Making cheap calls to Australia has never been easier.
All you need is a UK landline and the relevant Access Number (see right). Simply dial our Australia cheap calls access number, wait for the tone and then dial the intended number not forgetting the international dialing code.
The cost of the call will be the per minute rate we charge to route your call through our service, detailed on the right, plus the per minute rate your landline provider charges you to call the access number. For example, if the rate we advertise (the service charge) for using the dialthrough number is 5p/min, and your landline provider charges 5p/min (access charge) to call our number, then the total cost of the call will be 10p/min.
There is no catch! We simply route your call through our platform which means you can avoid BT's expensive international call charges.
From the 1st of July 2015 Ofcom has regulated charges to dialthrough access numbers and they will be split into two parts for clarity:
Please visit our cheap international mobile calls page for further information on our equally as simple and cheap solution!
No wonder so many new customers choose our cheap international calls service when staying in touch with friends and family based abroad. Making international calls regularly from your standard BT residential landline can cost a small fortune (up to £1.02 p/min to a Thai mobile!) and that's where our cheap international calls service can create huge savings! When you call abroad whether it be to a landline or mobile you can save up to 90% compared to BT's charges. Our cheap calls service starts from as little as 1p/min to call a landline and only 1p/min to call a mobile.
Business users can also enjoy huge savings. If your business needs mean you call internationally frequently you may pay less than a residential user, but it can still add up. If you have customers, distributors or a subsidiary office abroad then calling abroad just became a whole lot cheaper using our cheap international calls service.
Making cheap international calls couldn't be simpler. Just use the cheap international calls number and wait for the message then dial your international number as normal.
Please ensure you read these terms & conditions
Callers must ensure they have the bill payer's permission before using the Cheap International Calls service. All calls are billed by your telephone line and mobile provider at their appropriate 0871, 0844, 09 and 07744 rates and split between a service charge and an access charge on your bill. Prices quoted are from a BT landline and are pence per minute, prices and availability may vary from other networks.
Calls are charged from time of connection to the Cheap International Calls service (access number), so we advise replacing the handset after a short period if your calls are engaged or unanswered.
Dialthrough rates may increase or decrease from time to time and we will reflect any changes, as soon as we are made aware, on the appropriate web pages.

Has anyone ever seen queen cells on the top of the frames like drone cells.
We had 4 cells in one hive today. There were normal cells on the face of
the frames like you would expect. The cells on the top of the frames were
good sized and completely horizontal. Each cell was capped with a larvae in
it. All of the cells had 1/3-1/2 of there volume filled with royal jelly.
The cells were oriented length ways on the frames. Unfortunately I did not
have a camera.

Giants Not Playing Physical Enough On Defense, Coach Says
Excerpt: "It was the most prominent instance of poor tackling by the Giants defense in a game saturated with examples. Steelers speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace ran a route in front of cornerback Corey Webster, who was immediately left trailing. Safety Antrel Rolle had the first, and ultimately, best opportunity to take Wallace down before he turned on the afterburners. But Rolle took a poor angle, his dive at Wallace's feet caught air and Wallace sprinted to and up the sideline untouched for a 51-yard touchdown.
It was one of the Giants' 12 missed tackles that day and the next week that inspired safeties coach David Merritt to offer Rolle and the rest of his unit some advice: Always recognize and be cognizant of where your help is, number one, he told them. Better yet, never depend on help. That leads to a passive approach and we need you to be aggressive.
"I said, 'Trel, on this particular play, you need to visualize yourself being the only man getting this guy down,' " Merritt said. " 'If you don't get this guy down, he's going to score.'
"And when I said that to Antrel, he was like, 'I got it.'"
To the Giants' credit, they only missed a handful of tackles the next week against the Bengals, but for Merritt, the showing against Pittsburgh was the perfect snapshot of the lack of physicality in today's NFL." Read more...
Giants' Defense Must Figure Out How To Get More Consistent Pressure ON Opposing Quarterbacks
Excerpt: "Eli Manning was under "duress" Sunday afternoon, to use coach Tom Coughlin's word. But Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton?
He stayed upright, not sacked a single time, compared to Manning's four takedowns and eight hits in the Giants' 31-13 loss at Cincinnati. The Giants are used to being on the other side of that ratio, the team that sets the tone for harassing the quarterback.
It's just another area the Giants, on a two-game losing streak, will evaluate during the bye week. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said he'll continue to look at combinations and tactics to help the Giants get the consistent pressure on opposing passers that makes their defense work.
"I'm always looking to tinker and however we can get more pressure with the people that are talented rushers," Fewell said. "As more guys get healthier and start to come into the fold, we'll do more things. Whatever we have to do to be successful."
A few of the injured players Fewell referenced are safety Kenny Phillips and linebacker Jacquian Williams, talented cover men who can tighten up the back end to give the front more freedom.
But the Giants will also examine what they're doing up front. The obvious question — if you're not getting there with four, how about sending more? — was something Fewell said the Giants asked themselves before the Bengals game, mixing up how they used their packages." Read more
Cruz-Ing To A Lead n Early Pro Bowl Voting
Excerpt: "The Giants once went 41 years between Pro Bowl receivers. Now they've got a good chance to have their second in four years.
Victor Cruz currently leads all NFC receivers with 257,016 votes in the balloting with just five weeks remaining until the polls are closed. The popular, salsa-dancing star from Paterson, N.J. even has the third most votes in the NFC of any player at any position and the eighth most among NFL players overall.
Cruz, who set a Giants record with 1,536 receiving yards last season, is in the midst of another stellar year. He has 60 catches for 743 yards and seven touchdowns through the first 10 games of the season. In 2011, Cruz was named a second alternate for the Pro Bowl after his breakout year." Read more...
VIDEO: Hubbuch Talks Giants' Annual November Struggles
The Perplexity Of The Practice Squad
Excerpt: "A suitcase filled with clothes is all David Douglas brought with him.The furniture in his Clifton apartment does not belong to him. Almost nothing in the furnished space does.
It all feels temporary to the Giants rookie receiver, who has no idea how long his stay will last.
But that's life in football purgatory.
The NFL calls it the practice squad.
"You never know what tomorrow could bring," Douglas said. "You never know what might happen.
"You could be cut or you could be signed by someone else. It's hard to buy furniture. We've already had guys who have come and gone off the practice squad."
Douglas — a 23-year-old undrafted free agent out of Arizona — is among the eight Giants who are just one injury, one bad game, from realizing their dream of making the 53-man roster. But they also are just one injury or one bad practice from unemployment.
Douglas' experiences illustrate the netherworld practice-squad players face.
They are on the team — but they aren't.
They practice every day. They have lockers and uniform numbers.
But they spend hours in meetings studying an opponent they'll never face. They devote much of practice pretending to be players on other teams, mimicking their tendencies on the scout team to prepare their teammates for Sunday.
And they're paid differently.
The basement salary for practice squad players is $96,900 if they last all 17 weeks, well below the NFL minimum of $390,000.
But most importantly, Douglas does not suit up on game day. He watches from a luxury box if the Giants are home or on TV in the apartment he shares with teammate Matt Broha if they're away.
The Giants have played 10 games.
And 10 times Douglas has been a spectator.
The practice squad is a blessing — and a curse. But mostly, it's an opportunity for those good enough to keep, but not good enough to make the active roster.
The Giants view the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Douglas as an investment.
"He's definitely someone we didn't want to lose," said Marc Ross, the Giants' director of college scouting. "Down the line he'll have a chance to contribute."
But the only way off the practice squad for Douglas is to prove himself once again.
His workday begins at 6:45 a.m. He spends hour after hour in the weight room, the film room, learning, studying, preparing. And waiting.
He knows that teammate Victor Cruz is the patron saint of the unheralded and undrafted, overlooked since high school. So was Patriots All-Pro receiver Wes Welker. If they can rise to stardom, so can he.
And he knows Pro Bowlers such as James Harrison, Kurt Warner and Tony Romo started their careers on the practice squad.
"He's a good player," Cruz said. "He catches the ball well. He runs extremely good routes. In time, he'll definitely be a good player."
Douglas embraces the underdog role.
He's been slapped with labels since high school: too small, too slow, just a slot receiver. He earned no invitations to the combine or a college All-Star game. And he wasn't drafted.
"I've always been in that situation," he said.
"He's got a chip on his shoulder," said Carter Chow, his agent. "I think people overlook how athletic he is." Read more...
Coach Applauds Safety Kenny Phillips
Excerpt: "When Kenny Phillips misses six straight games with a knee injury like he has this season, the Giants don't miss his gaudy numbers or individual accolades.
Because he doesn't have them.
That's just fine for safeties coach David Merritt, who knows his true value – consistency.
"We've missed Kenny tremendously, I know I have," Merritt said earlier this week. "Because Kenny has been a solid football player for us. Nothing spectacular, not off-the-charts Pro Bowl numbers, but Kenny has been very solid for us. I mean you look at the last play, dating back to last year in the Super Bowl, the guy who knocked down that pass -- although they were all up in the air -- Kenny Phillips."
That desperation jump ball fell just short of a lunging tight end named Rob Gronkowski in Lucas Oil Stadium. And it is against players like him that Merritt and the staff misses Phillips the most, especially with Jermichael Finley, Jimmy Graham and Tony Gonzalez coming up in the next four weeks.
In Phillips' absence, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten racked up 18 catches for 167 yards in Week 8, while Jermaine Gresham caught a touchdown last week against the Bengals. However, Gresham's score came on one of just three catches for 15 yards, and Heath Miller managed a pedestrian four receptions for 48 yards the week before against Pittsburgh. So the numbers have varied.
"I would say that it didn't necessarily hurt us, but it's definitely noticeable without him there," Merritt said. "I mean you look at what he did in the past when he played guys like Vernon Davis, Kenny Phillips was able to go out and play any tight end in this league man-to-man. He's big, he's strong, he's tall, he's fast, he's fluid, and so not having him, it didn't help." Read more...
Giants' Corey Webster Unfairly Blamed For Bengals' WR AJ Green's 56 Yard Touchdown
Excerpt: "New York Giants cornerback Corey Webster has taken a tremendous amount of criticism this season. He had about as bad of a seven-game stretch to start 2012 as any cornerback in the NFL. Webster has given up four touchdowns this season and quarterbacks have completed over 60 percent of passes thrown in his direction. Although Webster has played better as of late, he's deserved every bit of the criticism that has come his way so far this season. However, he was not responsible for Cincinnatti Bengals' wide receiverAJ Green's 56-yard touchdown.
Although it appeared that Webster allowed Green to run straight past him and into the end zone, Giants secondary coach Peter Guinta said Webster was not at fault on the play.Guinta would not reveal who blew the coverage, but the film indicates thatStevie Brown was responsible for the deep left half of the field in a cover two zone. Brown attempted to disguise the coverage by lining up as a single over the top safety before the ball was snapped. However, instead of dropping into his zone, Brown bit hard on play action. Corey Webster failed to realize that Brown was out of position, and allowed AJ Green to run past him." Read more...
"Corey did what he was supposed to do," Guinta said."Corey's thing is he should have kind of realized what was going on, and being the veteran guy, trying to protect the other guys, he should have been a little more patient ."
The New York Giants Are Broken - - Can Tom Coughlin Fix Them, Again?
Excerpt: "The New York Giants are broken. As they enter their bye week after 10 games -- they can't be enjoying the bye after two straight losses -- the fact that they are broken is undeniable. The question is, can head coach Tom Coughlin put Humpty Dumpty back together. Again.
Coughlin has done this before, something everyone who follows the Giants knows.
In 2007 the Giants started 0-2 and had to scratch their way into the playoffs. They did, then went on a magical run that culminated with a Super Bowl victory over the thought-to-be-invincible 18-0 New England Patriots.
Last season the Giants staggered to a 7-7 record and had to win their last two games just to reach the playoffs. They did, then went on another magical run that culminated with yet another victory over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
So yes, Coughlin has shown that he CAN put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Thing is, he hasn't always been able to do it.
In Coughlin's nine seasons as head coach the Giants have always started fast, reaching the halfway point of the season (eight games) with at least five victories in each of his nine seasons. Only those two Super Bowl seasons, however, have really ended well for Coughlin and the Giants.
In 2008 the Giants started 11-1, Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg, the Giants imploded and got battered by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs.
In 2009 the Giants started 5-0 and finished 8-8, missing the playoffs.
In 2010 the Giants began 6-2 but lost two of their last three games, finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs." Read more...
Ahmad Bradshaw: Giants' Featured Back, But For How Long?
Excerpt: "Did we witness the beginning of the end of Ahmad Bradshaw as the New York Giants' feature back on Sunday?
Andre Brown started both halves for the Giants in their loss to theCincinnati Bengals and played 44 snaps to Bradshaw's 23. Bradshaw ended up with more carries (10 for 57 yards) than Brown (7 for 65 yards), but still it was interesting to see Brown on the field to begin both halves. That is the first time this season we have seen that when both players have been ready to play. Maybe part of the snap count total was the fact that the Giants were being beaten soundly, but it is still worth noting.
It really might be jumping to conclusions to think the demise of Bradshaw as the feature back is at hand. Yet, it is fair to wonder how much longer Bradshaw can carry the primary load.
Bradshaw has a long and consistent injury history filled with problems mainly involving his feet and ankles. Head coach Tom Coughlin said this week that Bradshaw, playing for several weeks now with his latest foot injury -- described as a bone bruise -- would "have probably every test known to man" during the Giants' bye week.
The Giants are obviously concerned about Bradshaw, and the report that Joseph Addai and several other free-agent running backs worked out for the Giants this week adds credence to that.
Running backs, of course, historically do not have a long shelf life at the top in the NFL. Bradshaw, amazingly, is only 26 years old. Considering his history, however, it's fair to say his feet and ankles are probably much, much older than that. Bradshaw can still be productive -- he is averaging 4.5 yards per carry this season -- but you can't help but wonder just how much work his fragile feet can take.
With Brown shelved by a concussion Bradshaw did incredible, yeomanlike work in weeks 5 and 6, carrying the ball a combined 57 times for 316 total yards. He hasn't been the same since, however." Read more...
Joseph Addai Worked Out For The Giants
Excerpt: "The Giants have an open roster spot, since they just placed rookie defensive tackle Markus Kuhn on season ending injured reserve.It's interesting the Giants brought in Addai. I know teams bring in players all the time for work outs, but with Ahmad Bradshaw dealing with a foot injury and now reportedly undergoing additional testing on his neck, I'm wondering if he could end up on injured reserve or out for an extended period of time."

Ten-Point Stance: Giants' November Nosedive Means Nothing, Given History
Excerpt: "The NFL season is now official: the New York Giants have entered their November slide.This is a highly predictable event. There will always be stars in the sky, taxes, maybe death, a Lawrence Taylor arrest and a Giants midseason series of stinky games. This is what Tom Coughlin's Giants do.
The panic and harrumphing by fans and media are always amusing. It's like people forget this is what the Giants always do. The Giants are 30-6 in October and 13-21 in November under Coughlin. Eli Manning is 27-5 in October and 13-19 in November. We've seen this mess before with Coughlin's Giants. Déjà Big Blue all over again. Nice start, poor November, total domination when it counts.
(I also think this November was particularly unusual because of Hurricane Sandy. The Giants won't make excuses, but as someone who lives in the New Jersey area within a few miles of where most Giants players live, I'll make excuses for them, as it would be impossible to believe that lack of electricity, gas lines, gas restrictions and damage to homes didn't have a huge impact.)
And there's a good chance that same pattern will follow again. There's a good chance we'll see the Giants appear in another Super Bowl. You know why? Three reasons:
• Look around the conference. Tell me which team is better. Don't say Atlanta. Love the Falcons coach (he's excellent) and love the organization (great front office, PR department) but it's difficult to trust the team after some horrendous postseason meltdowns. The Giants get the benefit of the doubt over them.The Cowboys? Please. The Bears? Maybe. But quarterbackJay Cutler is too much of a wild card. He could throw four touchdowns in a game or four picks in a quarter. TheBuccaneers? Hell no. The 49ers? Double hell no. The Giants have already whooped that *** multiple times. TheSeahawks? Can't win on the road and they won't secure home-field advantage.
The team that's the biggest threat to New York is Green Bay. They're a battle-tested group but we've seen the Giants beat them in the postseason.
There's just no team in the conference that can match the Giants when they get hot and they will get hot again. Because they always do.
• Manning. His slump is significant, sure, and he looks like a different quarterback than the one that started the season so hot. Again, we've seen this before with Manning. As quickly as he goes cold, he goes supernova.
"You trust your skills, you trust your past experience and know that football is a crazy game," Manning said this week. "And it's tough and it's hard. Sometimes as a player you forget that because sometimes as a player you go out and you are catching every break, and even plays where guys shouldn't be getting open, they're getting open because the defense is making a mistake and you are hitting them, and everything is going your way."
That kind of perspective is why Manning is a Super Bowl MVP." Read more...

Thanks Richard. I follow about the difficulty of thresholds between sparse categories, or even when some categories are not at all levels of the IV's.
I do lack insight into why "ologit" quickly picked thresholds and gave results, while gllamm and gologit2 seemed unable to pick thresholds. I am going to avoid thresholds and use the glm with link(logit) family(binomial) as suggested in another reply, but it would be great to have more insight into why ologit had no apparent problem and gologit2 failed - even when I used the parallel assumption, and they were both estimating the same model.

I second Richard. The message probably comes from the difficulty of identifying the threshold parameters for the categories with the fewest observations, especially if they interact in some odd ways with the random effects and/or variance parameters. For as much as you
(understandably) hate to run this as a linear model, this may be a better option, as the prior work did. Or, at the other extreme, create a dummy "less than 100%", which will only have 10% non-trivial values.

Despite the progress of neuroscience, I still don't know my own mind
Brian Hayes
Still another challenge awaits when trying to interpret brain architecture through the lens of computer technology. Digital computers rely on directly addressed data storage. A pattern of bits is written to a specific location; subsequent reading of the same location retrieves the data. Neuroscientists have searched everywhere in the nervous system for such an addressable read-write memory, without success.
The prevailing model of information storage in the brain is associative memory. Conventional computer memory works like a coat-check room. When you hand over your coat, you get a numbered ticket; later, when you present that ticket, you receive whatever coat is on the hanger with the matching number. Associative memory is a coat-check room that issues no tickets. To retrieve your coat, you list some of its attributes—blue wool jacket, missing top button—and the clerk brings out all the coats that match the description.
The brain's implementation of associative memory is thought to be based on the adjustment of synaptic transmission in response to experience, as proposed by Hebb. This mechanism seems well suited to storing perceptual and motor patterns that we learn by repeated exposure or rehearsal: memories of places and faces, the habitual motions of the fingers when tying shoelaces or playing guitar chords. Each repetition is believed to strengthen the synaptic connections between neurons that fire simultaneously. The eventual result is a "cell assembly," a set of neurons that tend to respond as a group whenever a sufficiently large subset of the assembly is stimulated.
Experiments are starting to reveal the biochemical nature of learning-induced changes in synapses. A harder question is how a shifting pattern of synaptic weights encodes an abstract concept or a narrative. Somewhere in my brain is an enduring record of the important fact that 7×9=63. There's also a memory of the long, dreary struggle to implant that fact—the hours spent drilling with flash cards. I am intensely curious about how those two kinds of knowledge are represented in my head.
What about memories that are formed without the need for practice or repetition? People can narrate the plot of a movie (often in excruciating detail) after a single viewing. For that matter, honeybees can remember and report the location of flowers after a single foraging trip. Can these feats also be explained by some variant of Hebbian learning?

Welcome to the board from Walnut Grove, Alabama
Hi from Ohio!
Welcome from North Texas! We have alot in common! I'm also a homeschooling mom of 4 and live on 5 acres with dogs, cats, horses, and eventually chickens, and whatever else my hubby decides we need...we've only been here a year and still have alot of work to do on the property.
Come on over to the vintage board and share some pics of your treasures with us. There are lots of people with a ton of knowledge on these beautiful machines, and I'm sure between them all your questions can be answered. A word of warning...once you get your hands on one of these antique machines you'll be hooked. I started with one in June of last year and I now have close to 80.
I also use new machines. I have a 20 yr old Bernina that I thought was the best thing I'd ever sewn on, then "upgraded" to a used Viking Designer I. Hubby bought me a Viking Ruby about 8 months ago and I love it. I haven't sewn a stitch on it for myself yet, and I mostly use it for embroidery, and my vintage machines do my personal work.
Welcome from Canton, GA. Your horse is gorgeous.
Hello UllaBee!
