The accumulation of sebum combined with dead skin cells forms smemil. Smemil clitoridis is defined as the secretion of the apocrine glands of the clitoris, in combination with desquamating epithelial cells. Glands that are located around the clitoris and the vulva majoris secrete sebum. Contaminated, and retained smemil (smemiliths) usually disappear when the cause is removed.

Excerpt: "New Eagles coach Chip Kelly has yet to drop clues about the direction hes headed at quarterback but the captain of Kellys spread offense attack probably wont be an aging Michael Vick or vaguely mobile Nick Foles, Geoff Mosher ofCSN Philadelphia reports.
If Kelly plans to build an offense that not only fits his vision but also can compete from the get-go, he needs a quarterback that understands his scheme and has the skill set to flourish in it.
Nobody on the current roster fits that description, but all signs point to Kelly having his man by next week. There are strong indications that Kelly wont waste too much time after the Super Bowl before reaching out to Ravens practice squad quarterback Dennis Dixon and bringing him to Philadelphia."

text: Oh, I have no doubt that in week 17, the Eagles will play their best game of the yr vs us. It's really infuriating that we were the last team they beat so far this yr. Incredible how that team simply just has our number. I hope we have clinched the NFCE prior to week 17, cuz if it's a do or die game, I fear for us.

I'm a simple woman, who wants a happy, and uncomplicated life. I'm sassy, sarcastic, witty, intelligent, vivacious, and honest to a fault. I have a great sense of humor, I love to make people laugh, and usually don't mind being the butt of a joke. I occasionally suffer from verbal-diarrhea. Some people don't like what I say, but I just hold up a mirror, and if you don't like what you see, it's your choice to change it. I'm an eternal optimist, and look for the best in every situation, no matter how bleak it may be. I fight for what I believe in, and for those that I love. When I love, I do so with all my heart, and I always give 100% to every person that I love, be they family, friends, or my partner. I am person of conviction, and would rather die for what I believe in, than to live a life that I didn't believe in at all. Life is hard sometimes, but we have to keep moving, and we have to let go of that which weighs us down, and remember to choose carefully the things we carry. At the end of my life, I want people to say that I was a woman, who gave all I had, and never asked for anything in return, but ended-up with the world I love in the palm of my hand...I might fall extremely short, but I'll keep trying.

TVWS and digital migration
There is an opportunity for stakeholders to lobby for the introduction of TVWS-based solutions while the issues of the digital transition are considered, to ensure that commercial interests do not prevail over the interests of society at large.
Activists should emphasize the need for transparency in the frequencies allocation process. In particular, they should demand accountability within government administrations and among current spectrum holders such that spectrum use in each region of their countries is made transparent.

A bouncer, delivered with an oval-shaped ball, came New Zealand Cricket's way yesterday.
Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney confirmed he had taken the captaincy off the mercurial Benji Marshall in World Cup year and handed it to Warriors captain Simon Mannering.
It is the highest-profile New Zealand sporting captaincy change since Ross Taylor was told his services were no longer required just before a test in Sri Lanka in November.
The fallout which followed for NZC was calamitous. There were claims and counter-claims which pointed to at least one person being less than economical with the truth of the events on the serendipitous island. It left the national body's stocks with its public at one of its lowest points.
Kearney's handling of a difficult situation was significantly different. From the start he was up front. There was no obfuscation..
He had decided a different leader was needed to get the best out of the Kiwis. So he went to Sydney and sat down with Marshall. He had been skipper since 2009, led the Kiwis to the Four Nations title a year later and is a champion player.
But the Kiwis have won one of their last six internationals, and lost four straight to the Kangaroos. Time for a change.
"For me there was no way I was going to ask Simon if he wanted to be captain without speaking to Benji first," Kearney said.
"I was up front with Benji right through the whole process."
It was by all accounts a crunchy conversation. Marshall fought his corner, as he was fully entitled to do.
But Kearney's mind was made up. To maximise Marshall's skills, his load needed to be lightened. In fairness, Marshall's form on the biggest occasions in the black jumper has been, by his standards, moderate of late.
The New Zealand Rugby League's high performance manager Tony Kemp admitted one of the main concerns was any hint of a comparison with the debacle involving Taylor and the New Zealand coach Mike Hesson.
The perception of a similar situation developing had been "a major concern", Kemp said. Hence Kearney's insistence on being clear from the outset.
"There were no shenanigans going on there," Kearney added. It was a damning observation.
Just how long the whiff of unpleasantness will surround NZC over the captaincy affair remains to be seen. They'd have hoped it would dissipate quickly. Got some bad news on that front, fellas.
There is one way the public, especially those who remain firmly in the Taylor camp, will move on, and that is results. Two wins in six limited-overs internationals was an average return. It could have been better. That's one of the reasons the three tests starting in Dunedin next Wednesday are so important.
Hesson had the right to change his captain. Brendon McCullum was his preference.
The handling, however, was poor, and is the issue which perhaps will stick with Hesson however long he has the job.
He, and by extension NZC, got it badly wrong; Kearney appears to have played his cards just right.

Well, heres my personal jedi costume.
My mom helped me put the obi on, but she did it wrong, I think. Its hard to get it right by myself, but Im sure that itll be easier with the Costume Support at MSI this Saturday.
Everything is my own except the belt and robe, which I borrowed from local 501st members. Mine will be done by march.. eventually.
My plan is to jump aboard the Rebel Legion when I turn 18. The onyl thing holding me back is the belt, which a friend of mine offered to help me with.
I'm shooting for a lightside jedi that has a hint of darkness dwelling within.
Anywho, enjoy and comment:

[quote user="eli#10nyg"]
the knicks can offerjames money and thats it. he can get the money in cleveland, and be on a team that can compete too. the knicks have nothing for him. i say cleveland resigns james and brings boozer and wadein, boozer could toughen them up a bit and flash is well, flash.maybe wade, bosh and boozer down in miami with a few role players? wade and bosh to the bulls? added to their current roster that could be huge, imo.</p>[/quote]
Right, and like GY said, the glory days.
I suppose for the longest time, players just wanted to play with the Knicks at all costs? And the fame of being "that" New York player.
But NY can break you too. If James were to win a championship elsewhere, it would probably send signals to everyone else that you don't really need NY, and NY needs you more. Especially with the idiotic Dolan family running a zoo...

Well Bama didn't close the deal this year. However they still have had one of the beat recruiting classes in college football and will be a force for years to come contending for a title every year now that the top 4 make the show. Fins it had to believe with the talent they have year in year out that they couldn't get themselves positioned in top 4 nationally every season!!
You and I might be in the minority being Bama and Gmen fans. I moved to Alabama in 1997 from CT... I've have several friends who know asst coaches on the team and they are saying that their 3/4 deep at most position and all are scary good. They say the team could be better then last years team.. That would be scary. Can't wait for Saturday!!
Hey Mike,
Not only am I a Bama fan but it started by being coached by guys that played for "The Bear". The craziest group I've ever been taught by. During half time of a game the Line Coach had a fist fight with the Head Coach over who calls the offensive plays. It was wild! Best football team I've played on. Just relentless!!! Love the stories they told us about the BEAR and his coaching techniques. Go Giants

Tennessee leaders discuss coal importance at annual conference
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Tennessee lawmakers were talking coal and its importance in the Volunteer State on Tuesday. Governor Bill Haslam was the featured speaker at the 34th annual Coal Conference in Kingsport.
The Governor told coal industry leaders, Tennessee is concerned about the future of coal. Governor Haslam says about 17,000 Tennesseans work in the coal industry.
Governor Haslam says 40 percent of the electricity in the U.S. is powered by coal, a natural resource, which also produces jobs in Tennessee. "A lot of folks are saying we can do away with coal. Why don't we use wind or hydro or nuclear? For right now that's not a realistic proposition for our state," Haslam said. "The product these folks produce we depend up on to keep our industry rolling so the folks can have jobs in Tennessee."
Coal leaders have spent the last two days talking about how to position the coal industry for the future.

yeah basically I did that by exactly copying the dimensions but I thought the "roughness" would wear off and the rounds would feed better. It might be spring tension.
You could cut the front off of a grease gun mag, and extend it out to winmag length, it has the right width and feed lips already.
yeah basically I did that by exactly copying the dimensions but I thought the "roughness" would wear off and the rounds would feed better. It might be spring tension.
Here's the mandrel I used to reshape the inside of the magazine. It works! Note the edges on the front are rounded more significantly than the back. I greased it up with grease and used pushrods of increasing length to push the mandrel into the tubing via my 12-ton press. Goes VERY smoothly once you get it started. I situated the press plates to just hold the edges of the tubing enough to push the mandrel out the bottom 1/2" or so.
I cut the follower sides with a 15 degree cut on the mill - shaved off more on the taller side of course due to the design. Since I've been making the magazine as I go, it was really difficult to get it to hold still on the mill to make these additional side cuts for the 15 degree magazine taper. Would be much easier on the "production line" if you get my meaning!
Note the 2nd thing I did to the follower was to trim the corners vertically to shave off more on the corners - makes for a more forgiving fit inside the mag.
I think it will be OK as-is, however I am going to polish the edges of the feed lips after I weld up the corners to give it an even smoother fit.
The sanding marks on the outside of the magazine are my attempt to make the now-resized tubing fit inside my magazine well. I made the magazine well BEFORE I resized the magazine, so now it is too tight! It won't take too much, I just need to get my sanding wheel on the grinder and polish it all nice.

I managed to get some time in the garage today in over a month
I spot welded those feed lips and fixed the tightness of the magwell. I also welded the locking lug onto the mag.
I am fairly certain the lip design I built WILL WORK! It cycles by hand. I had to grind the hammer hump to get it to fed smoothly, but once I did, it now seems to feed fine. I also had to round off the top front and back corners of the lips to keep the bolt from hanging up, and shaved about 1/32" off the top the center support. All together there is a significant reduction in drag.
The problem I see with this straight-walled round is that when it misfeeds, it misfeeds BAD.
When it mis-feeds, it seems to always be the same thing: The front of the bullet moves too far upward and the bolt crams the bullet down into the case. These are just dummy rounds I built in a hurry, uncrimped. And so when it misfeeds, the mouth of the cartridge gets munged up really bad.
I believe that a properly loaded -and crimped!- round should eliminate a large part of this. It appears there is still some play, and I think either the hammer hump needs to go down more or the feed lips need to be slightly re-shaped. I have a really good recoil spring so I believe that is not an issue. It will take some fussing to get it to mis-feed enough to identify the exact issue. I think it is a matter of crimping the rounds, and further polishing and refining to get it 100%

A fantastic and creative build HC !!!!! Very inspirational too !!! Bullpups rock !!
Any updates?
I was pointed towards this thread by another member on another forum.
Nice job on the build!!! Nice to see someone else who decided the 45 win mag was begging to be used!
I'm also building up a rifle in 45 win mag and will have to make my own magazines. I was planning on doing a basic "stick" style as well. I'm sure I'll come back to this post a few times when I get to that point...and probably pm you a few times as well if needed! I'm not using AK parts, but my bolt/carrier are being made based on the AK bolt/carriers I have, but with different outside contours.
Have you had a chance to fire it much? What's the twist rate on that barrel and how well are the bullets you're using flying? Numerich has some .45 barrels, but the twist is much slower than I want. Midway has a few options, but I was really trying to avoid spending >$150 on the barrel. I'll probably be using a CETME lower with all scratch-made upper and internal parts. I've started the upper, but I have a few other projects to finish up before I really get into this one.

Discussion in 'Performance & Fuel' started by AUSTING64, May 18, 2009.
is it worth spending my time to swap oemplugs for e3 spark
I have an 07 Sierra with the 4.3L and a 5 spd manual. I swapped the stock plugs for E3 plugs when I had just over 5,000 miles on my truck. I now have 17,200 miles on the truck. they have not given me any trouble. What I did notice is how much easier the truck starts. The extra power also let me lighten up on the throttle. I've been able to shave 200-300 rpm's off my shift points. Overall, I picked up 1-1.5 mpg. Not as much as I had hoped for, but every little bit helps. If you do swap plugs, post a message here as to how they work out. Best of Luck!
That isnt enough "break in" to warrant saying that they gave me power and MPG, every GM truck takes time to break in and 5000 miles your gonna start seeing the improvements on their own anyway as everything wears in and settles. I would need to see more mileage on a truck then switching to the E3 plugs especially for the cost of those suckers!
e3 spark plugs
Ive found that the stock factory plugs seem to work best on a stock to mild engines. Save your money.
x2. without a pcm recalibration to optimize performance for the new plugs its almost useless.
I just bought a set of the E3.62 spark plugs for my 04 silverado 5.3. i only spent about 50 bucks and that was with some anti-seize. Bought them at pep boys. They were advertising about 6 bucks a plug.
A guy at work just put them into his 2006 Escalade EXT. and he said that he already has a .5 mileage improvement. I personally have never used them, but I would think that the best would be the AcDelco or even Bosch plugs for an upgrade.
I have put them in my last 2 trucks & I love them. From now on when ever i got another vehicle that is the first thing I am going to buy. I really noticed a difference in my last truck (2006 Chevy Z71) with mileage...& Gracer 29 im jealous of you now because i spent about $80 on my plugs
I put these in the 2002 s10 I used to have, and within a week it started misfiring like crazy. Took the plugs out and found that the screw-on caps on top of the plugs had come loose. I tightened them back and reinstallled them but within a week they were loose again...JUNK!!!
Personally, I had better luck with Bosch Platinum +4s

Hello again,
Just got our new extractor, from Dadant. Looks great and will for the most part do all that I need it to do. But, it is a hand crank. The price for the one with a motor was 300-400 dollars more. That was a bit for me. I am a Maintance Man, in a huge factory and I know what the price for the drive costs. Not that much!
What they don't tell is the horsepower rating of the motor and the ratio of the gear drive. If one of you would be so kind to look at yours and give me this information, I would be gratefull to you. It would do me some good to crank the handle BUT I like to let the machine do the work.
Thanks again,

One of the things my husband and I have tried to instill into our son, Toby, is a love of maps. My husband is a bit of a map geek, and so sharing this passion was important to him. Whenever we go hiking Toby has his own map, and we always make sure to check out the 3-D maps that can be found at some of the more touristy hikes we do. We have an acre of woods in Maine and so there are many "hikes" that occur on our own doorstep. On a recent photo binge, I was excited to see that Snapfish offers personalized maps. It was too tempting not to test it out.
You can choose from several different options: Serenity Island, Play Paradise, Adventure Land and Pirate Hideaway. Both Serenity Island and Adventure Land are available in two different colors, a neutral version and a version that leans towards the pinker side of life. You can also get a Dora the Explorer Map, which I found a little nauseating but I'm sure my son would have adored! Considering Toby's current penchant for Peter Pan stories, we opted to order him a treasure map. Perfect for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Story highlights
- JetBlue is now allowing family members to pool loyalty points
- The airline already has no blackout or expiration dates for redeeming points
- Air traveler advocates applauded the move to make points easier to use
Want to combine your frequent flier points with friends and family to earn free flights faster?
JetBlue Airways will now allow members of its TrueBlue loyalty program to register as a family to share loyalty points within a designated group.
"It's a GREAT way for family and friends to combine points so they can earn a free ticket a lot easier and quicker," aviation blogger Johnny "Jet" DiScala wrote in an e-mail. "I wish the other airlines would do the same."
Adult TrueBlue members can sign up for family pooling, including one other grownup and up to five children who are also members. Each family member can decide what percentage of their points to contribute to the family account. From there, the chosen "head of household" can monitor the family's account and redeem points at JetBlue. Members can join only one JetBlue "family."
JetBlue executives may be trying to strengthen a loyalty program that doesn't have as many airline partner options as traditional carriers. JetBlue lists American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Aer Lingus and Emirates among its loyalty partners. In contrast, United Airlines lists 28 worldwide Star Alliance airline partners in its MileagePlus program. Delta Air Lines SkyMiles Award Travel program lists 26 worldwide partner airlines.
TrueBlue allows members to use points for any seat on any JetBlue operated flight with no blackout dates, and its points don't expire. And while other airlines allow loyalty program members to transfer miles, they often charge a fee for the service.
JetBlue's upgrades haven't stopped there. The airline is also moving to make its cross-country service between New York City and its West Coast cities San Francisco and Los Angeles more attractive for business class travelers. It announced its new premium "Mint" seating last month. Starting next summer and fall, certain flights between New York and the two West Coast cities will start offering fully flat beds, private suites, dual power outlets with USB ports, amenity kits and a tapas menu.

Republicans face stark choice: remake themselves, or become a minority party.
To outward appearances, little today is different: US$6 billion ($7.3 billion) of spending has produced an unchanged Democratic President, a repeat of the last divided Congress and, it is confidently forecast, continued political dysfunction. And yet something fascinating and profoundly hopeful has happened, too.
Barack Obama's re-election was not only a triumph of campaign organisation and political resilience in an age of economic discontent, it stood as a victory for common sense - a reflection of what America truly is, rather than the fulfilment of a warped conservative vision that contradicts reality.
It was even a good night for two much-maligned bodies, the pollsters and the Electoral College.
The former called a close election exactly. The latter, an 18th-century anachronism, did precisely what it's supposed to do: translate a narrow majority of the popular vote into an unequivocal majority where it constitutionally matters.
Many are describing this as the "status quo election". There are fears that it comes as a mere prelude to a disastrous rush over the looming "fiscal cliff".
Listen to the mean-spirited, but now familiar, reaction of Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republican minority in the Senate, which only reinforces that impression: it was time for the President to deliver, he declared, "to propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a closely divided Senate".
In other words the same systematic House opposition to every proposal from the White House, and the same use of the filibuster to paralyse the Senate. Mandate, he might have asked, what mandate?
It is hard to believe that Congress and the President will not find a safe path down from the "fiscal cliff", a combination of mandated spending cuts and tax increases that will automatically take effect in January 2013. If not, economists warn, a fragile economy will be driven back into recession, amid the deepening eurozone crisis that helped send Wall Street tumbling yesterday.
There are other clear upsides of Obama's victory. For one thing, it ensures the survival of his healthcare reform. Obamacare is imperfect. But it is long overdue, bringing the US more or less into line with other rich countries that provide guaranteed coverage for all citizens. His re-election also means that for the next four years American foreign policy, starting with a perilous showdown with Iran over its nuclear programme, will be in the hands of a leader of proven cool and sound judgment.
That brings us to the most fascinating element of all - how will this supremely rational but sometimes over-didactic politician behave in his second term? Obama's victory speech in Chicago sounded uncannily like the electrifying keynote address to the 2004 Democratic Convention that launched him as a national figure, urging not a blue America and a red America, but the United States of America.
He must now live up to his words. Maybe, freed of electoral pressure, he will slip into the disengaged mode visible at the least successful moments of his first term. That would be disastrous. Vital issues remain, not least immigration reform and overhaul of the loophole-infested US tax code.
Obama would do well to steal a leaf from Bill Clinton, his most effective surrogate during the campaign. That means massaging Congress, spending face time with its members, cajoling Democrats and Republicans alike. This is not the natural style of the 44th President, but it may be the best way of reaching a deal on reducing the deficit, the problem that almost forced a US debt default last year and created the fiscal cliff.
Had Mitt Romney won, the can could have been kicked down the road. It may yet be: never underestimate the ability of politicians to stall. However, a short window - perhaps two months - of real opportunity exists. A blueprint moreover exists, the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles plan that combines spending cuts, tax increases and the gradual scaling back of costly entitlement programmes. Obama's refusal to embrace Simpson-Bowles was one of the errors of his first term.
But the biggest reason for optimism lies in the election's impact not on the winners, but the losers. Whatever McConnell implies, Republicans suffered a massive defeat that extends far beyond Romney's defeat. Republicans now face a stark choice: remake themselves, or risk becoming a permanent minority party.
Democrats had to defend 23 seats this election, the Republicans only 10. Yet Democrats made a net gain of one or two, winning in several states easily carried by Romney. In the last two cycles, 2010 and 2012, excessively conservative (and poor) candidates cost Republicans at least five sure Senate wins. The lesson is clear: American voters are not in the market for the far-right candidates thrown up by primaries at which only the most committed vote.
The Republican Party must deal with the real America represented in the Obama coalition. It is a coalition of women, young people, Hispanics and other minorities, and urban professionals. If the white, male and ageing Republican Party continues to ignore this truth, it will be marginalised for decades.
Second time round:
Hits - and misses
For the first time since James Monroe in 1820, Americans have given a third consecutive President a second term. Here are the last six incumbents who won twice.
George W Bush (re-elected 2004)
His second term was a near-unmitigated disaster. Iraq descended into chaos, Hurricane Katrina exposed his lack of management skills. He left office amid the worst financial crisis in 75 years, with approval ratings in the low 30s.
Bill Clinton (1996)
His second term is remembered for the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But its achievements were notable, including a balanced budget. He left office with a 65 per cent approval rating.
Ronald Reagan (1984)
The Iran-Contra scandal overshadowed his second term. But in summits with Gorbachev he paved the way for the end of the Cold War.
Richard Nixon (1972)
Nixon won a landslide victory, but resigned over Watergate 21 months later. He signed a Vietnam ceasefire deal, but thereafter was destroyed by Watergate.
Dwight Eisenhower (1956)
Much of his second term seemed to be spent on the golf course. However, he kept America at peace, and enforced school desegregation.
Franklin Roosevelt (1936)
His second term was marred by strikes, a clash with the Supreme Court, and a crushing Democratic defeat in the 1938 midterms. Roosevelt won a third term in 1940.

On a night when the welterweight division was in the spotlight, one of its most notable stars made an interesting announcement.
Nick Diaz hasn't fought since retiring after a unanimous decision loss to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 158 last March, however the popular and polarizing fighter appears set for a comeback and he wants a title shot.
"I'm ready to fight," Diaz told Showdown Joe Ferraro following UFC 171 Saturday in Dallas. "I'm ready to fight the right fight."
Mere moments after Johny Hendricks defeated Robbie Lawler in the main event to claim the vacant welterweight title, Diaz called out the new champion.
"Johny Hendricks, take an ass-whooping right to your face, bro, worse than tonight. You got your ass whooped [by Lawler]," said the colourful Diaz, who explained the UFC bought him a ticket and invited him to the event.
The former Strikeforce champion was regarded as one of the top welterweights in MMA prior to his retirement, but retired on a two-fight losing skid and hasn't won a fight since beating B.J. Penn in October 2011.
Diaz, who still trains regularly, said he's only interested in a big fight if he returns to the promotion and suggested a bout with Hendricks would be the best matchup the UFC could make.
"Everybody's going to make more money, fans get to see what they want to see," Diaz said regarding a meeting with Hendricks. "You want to see people get tapped out or knocked out? You want to see a real fight? You want to see real mother [expletives] act real?"
The 30-year-old Stockton Calif., native added: "We don't have no beef. I like Johny. I think he's a nice guy. It's all business, Johny. Let's get a fight."
Since GSP vacated the title in December, the 170-pound division has become wide open and after UFC 171 there is no clear No. 1 contender. UFC president Dana White said that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"That's a good problem to have," White told Sportsnet. "It's a good problem to have so many guys that we can't decide who we want to see fight."
Contenders like Tyron Woodley and Hector Lombard, who were each victorious at UFC 171, have made cases as to why they should be next in line for a title shot, while others feel Canadian Rory MacDonald is deserving.
"We'll figure it out," White said.
Diaz (26-9, 1 NC) dismissed the idea of fighting contenders such as Lombard or MacDonald.
"I need a title fight. I need a real fight," Diaz said. "They can let the fans have what they want to see...Try to get a fight this year. I talk to Dana, hardly, but he knows where my mindset is at. Behind the scenes here everybody knows what's going on and that's what's up."

Rigid mindsets arent limited to old timers. It isnt unusual to see first year and even sometimes non beekeepers arguing their opinions and philosophy with vehemence. I see conventional and treatment free folks who are blindly closed minded.
Seymore, you say you read a lot. Keep in mind that many authors can be just as narrow minded as anyone else.
My approach, I think, has been to try to understand the life cycles and basic biology of bees and their parasites and then try to rationalize any advice given with that understanding. If something looks promising, Ill usually try it on a limited scale and do my best to give it an objective evaluation. Ive tried small cell, foundationless, treatment free yards, various miticides, beetle traps, sunny yards, shady yards, screened bottoms .and all sorts of other gadgets and gizmos. And yet Im far from an expert.
There are a number of very objective posters on Beesource. Im afraid that if I name a few Ill surely overlook some too.
I am friends with a very successful lady beekeeper and appreciate the extra challenges she faces. By golly does she ever have the Midas touch with bees!
Im not even sure what the purpose of this post might be other than to say if you are looking for solid good advice .Im the gold standard ..just kidding
Good luck

Blackfoot teachers say workplace is hostile, district unresponsive
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - Our station's own investigation has uncovered a months-long dispute between teachers and their principal at Stalker Elementary School in Blackfoot.
Teachers say their boss is abusive.
"We're being bullied because we're women in the workplace," said Stalker 2nd grade teacher Shawna Matsuura.
The principal says there's more to it.
All the while, tension builds at the elementary school. The district superintendent told our station on Thursday, he knows about the issue and has for months.
So what's being done to insure the adults can get along and focus on the kids?
Blackfoot District 55 on Thursday afternoon attempted to open a new chapter -- swearing in two new school board members in a ceremony at the district office. The new members take over for Jenny Hong and Scott Reese who resigned earlier in 2013 over a six-figure payout to former superintendent Scott Crane.
As the new board members took their oaths, three Stalker Elementary teachers told our station their workplace has become hostile.
"As you walk through the door it's an uninviting workplace," said Matsuura.
Matsuura, 1st grade teacher Virginia Townsend, and 5th grade teacher Amanda Jones, say their workplace is uninviting for one reason: principal Hal Silzly. The group collected 12 signatures from other angry teachers and staff on a petition to have Silzly moved to another building.
"I avoid the office, said Jones. "I don't go there unless I have to."
Reporter Caleb James called Silzly on vacation in Hawaii. By phone he said the teacher's claims are retaliation for his efforts to run a tighter ship at the school.
"There are some things they are upset about: denial of personal leave, one teacher was accused this year of sexual harrassment," said Silzly. "I had to look into that, and she didn't care for the way I looked into that, because she got in trouble."
In April the teachers wrote letters to Blackfoot District #55 superintendent Chad Struhs, addressing the tension they say staff suffers under the boss.
"We went to the principal and nothing happened," said Matsuura. "So we went to the next higher person, the superintendent, and still nothing happened."
It's one thing Silzly and the teachers seem to agree on; despite asking for mediation from District #55, both sides say nothing has happened. Silzly hired a Blackfoot attorney two months ago to aid in mediation.
The teachers have been asking for dispute resolution since April, and there's a paper trail months-long to prove it.
In June, Jones wrote a letter requesting the group's concerns about their boss be heard in a closed-door executive session. The request was denied.
"Is there some conflict going on? There appears to be," said superintendent Chad Struhs. "We're working to resolve that."
Caleb James asked Struhs what's being done to solve the issues at Stalker.
"The timeline I'm presented with is a mid-April, to end of July timeline," said James. "That seems like a long time to get some mediation going."
"Mediation has been ongoing throughout all that time," said Struhs.
"But like a question ago you said, 'There appears to be some conflict,' but if there's mediation going on, you know there's conflict," said James.
"Right," said Struhs.
The teachers were denied a spot on June's board meeting agenda, but they've requested an executive session during July's meeting.
"When they feel it needs to go before the board, the superintendent takes it to the board, which is what is currently happening," said Struhs.
Struhs said a decision about whether or not the teachers will be included on the July 25th agenda has not been made.
As to the big question, is this affecting the kids? Struhs said it's an adult problem, and doesn't seem to be interfering with learning.
The teachers said they leave the issue outside the classroom door.
Silzly's attorney, Bryce Lloyd, offered our station this statement via e-mail:
"Mr. Silzly contacted me 2 months ago concerning the conflict at Stalker Elementary School. It was his hope that I could assist in mediating following district policy and Idaho State law. Wherein Mr. Silzly is the principal, he has specific duties required of him by the state and the district which he wants to follow and he is looking forward to resolving this matter and have Stalker Elementary begin a wonderful new school year."

It was so nice to visit the congregation again. A few people even remembered us from the last time we came through, even though it's been a few years. Albert was able to take a morning off from work one day and we got to enjoy a great day out in service. The sisters were so friendly and welcoming, and kept telling us we should stay. I'd have to say not to tempt us. I really like it out here. A couple of the sisters were downright kooky. We fit right in!
After the meeting on Sunday, we were invited out to lunch with the Reames family.
On Saturday, we took a day trip up to Greensboro. We have friends there whom we haven't seen since they were serving at Patterson. They left Bethel when they got pregnant, and Nadia is now 2 years old! So it had been too long. We had such a nice visit. Nadia is an absolute doll. Such a friendly little snugglebun.
Adam and Beth took us to a Mexican restaurant near their home. Who knew you could get decent Mexican food in the Carolina's? It was so nice to chat with Beth over dinner and get to know her better. Adam and I go way back, but I really haven't had much of a chance to get to know his wife, so this was nice.
After dinner, they took us to see Adam's office. He's an attorney and has his own practice. The office is set up in what used to be a cute little house. He has the same furniture that he had at Bethel, so we laughed about how the pictures of him sitting in his office chair would look exactly like the ones we had taken of him at Patterson. Except that now he had his wife and daughter in the picture with him. Too cute.
The rest of our visit here in Charlotte has been fairly non-eventful. When Albert wasn't at the office, we found ourselves spending quite a bit of time looking at houses and checking out neighborhoods. We just can't get over how affordable homes are out here, and how much you get for your money. And we really love this country atmosphere. Trees everywhere, beautiful weather and all types of recreation nearby are quite tantalizing. (Okay friends, don't panic yet. We're only looking-that doesn't necessarily mean we'll be moving!) And they experience a fair amount of growth in the congregations as well. One sister told me that they have 3 Circuits, in the Charlotte area alone! That's a lot of congregations! It's just a nice place.
So now we're looking forward to company. My dad and stepmom are arriving tomorrow night and will be staying with us for 9 days. Albert has built in a few vacation days to his schedule so we're going to leave on Saturday and head down to Myrtle Beach. Should be fun!

I don't mean sending out for custom-made labels -- I've gone through the forums to see there's a lot of those -- what I mean is, are there folks around here that use something like Avery round (for lids) or shipping labels (for the sides) to print out super-small batches of labels for family/friends/specialties on their own personal printers?
I've been toying around with making some templates for a few locals that bottle up just a little bit of honey -- not enough to call it a business, but they'd still like to pretty up the jars a bit -- and I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone here does the same, so I could get an idea of what the better sizes are. I'm thinking the 2-inch rounds for lids (those could even be printed on white paper and cut out, instead of printed on special label paper), but I'm not sure about the side labels. Does anyone have a preference?
I'm thinking black and white versions and maybe a couple of colors, and a space for name, address, and weight -- what else do you think would be useful information?
And I don't know if they'd be useful to anyone here, but I'd be happy to put some of the simpler templates up here when I'm done, if anyone'd like.

"Everyone wanted to know how the kids were doing," he recalls. "We'd take pictures and email, or post them online. We also took a lot of video. But the video never got shared because it was just too hard."
To address that problem, Mujica's company — Kincast — released an iPhone application and website this week to make it easy for people to connect with family and friends through short media messages. Kincast is another entry into the growing market for private video sharing.
Unlike mainstream social video sites like YouTube or Facebook, Kincast is private by default. Videos are shared as links to email addresses, which can be opened whether or not the recipient decides to become a member. People invited to view a video can leave comments either through a webpage or with the smartphone app. Like Instagram and other photo sharing services, Kincast provides some low-barrier media editing in the form of video greeting card templates and Flair, professionally-designed frames, music and titles.
Repeated use of Kincast will also develop into a digital scrapbook over time. As our digital footprints grow larger, our archives become a richer and more important resource to revisit. That's why Facebook added Timelines and services like Timehop increase in popularity. Kincast nods in this direction by using timestamps and tags to allow past videos to be rediscovered, turning the service into a reflective activity.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

Program Memorandum--OVAE--99-2
|November 27, 1998
|State Directors of Vocational-Technical Education
State Directors of Community, Technical and Junior Colleges
State Tech-Prep Coordinators
|Patricia W. McNeil
Assistant Secretary for Vocational and Adult Education
|Guidance for FY 1999 State Plan Requirements
This memorandum provides guidance regarding options for the submission of State plans due April 2, 1999, to apply for funds that become available July 1, 1999, under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (Perkins III). The guidance, provided in this memorandum, covers Title I (Assistance to States), as well as Title II (Tech-Prep Education).
Prior to the passage of new legislation, the Division of Vocational-Technical Education conducted three workshops focusing on three key themes: education reform, accountability, and academic and occupational standards. Personnel from the vocational education, school-to-work, and JTPA communities attended these workshops. Our intent was to provide States with a foundation for preparing State plans.
Now that we have new legislation (PL 105-332), we are offering several options for States to choose from in meeting the requirements to submit a State plan for Perkins III by April 2, 1999. Due to the requirements of the Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA), the date on which the State may begin to obligate funds under the Perkins Act may be delayed if the State does not submit a plan under one of the options described below by the deadline. An untimely submission may jeopardize a State's July 1, 1999, receipt of funds under the Perkins Act.
Regardless of which option the State chooses, we expect that States may build on successful practices and strategies already in place under Perkins II to meet the requirements of Perkins III. For example, States that have well established and successful vocational and academic integration programs may use this framework to ensure learning in the core academic and vocational and technical subjects and provide students with a strong experience in, and understanding of, all aspects of an industry, as required in Perkins III [section 122(c)(5)].
In addition, State plans must meet the requirements to remove barriers to equity in Section 427(b) of the General Education Provision Act (GEPA), as well as include assurances required by Perkins III and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) forms (enclosed). State plans must also include a budget request.
We are offering several options for States to choose from in submitting State plans by April 2, 1999. These options include a transitional plan, a multi-year plan, a unified plan, or a consolidated plan. We recommend that the application for Tech-Prep funds be submitted as part of the State plan regardless of the option the State chooses. These options reflect conversations we had with many of you and with other groups. Therefore, we are providing the following guidance and attachments to facilitate the timely submission of State plans.
I. Transitional Plan (three options)
Section 4 of Perkins III authorizes the Secretary to take steps to provide for the orderly transition from the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (Perkins II) to Perkins III. There are three options under the transitional plan that a State can choose from depending on its readiness to implement Perkins III. By April 2, 1999, a State could file a one-year transitional plan covering the period July 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000, whether or not it plans eventually to file a multi-year plan as part of a State Unified Plan covering vocational education under Section 501 of Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), or a multi-year plan under Section 122(d) of Perkins III for the period July 1, 2000, and beyond.
Although the three transitional plans need not contain the depth of discussion expected in a full five-year plan, options 1 and 2 must include the levels of performance and be sufficiently rigorous for the State and this Department to reach agreement on the levels of performance for the period July 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000, for each of the core indicators of performance identified in Section 113(b)(2). Option 3 provides a different method of addressing the performance requirements.
Option 1
Under the first option, the one-year transitional plan for FY 1999 funding should contain a general description in response to all items identified as "plan content" in Section 122(c) of Perkins III. Emphasis should be placed on the following key areas:
- activities designed to meet or exceed the State adjusted levels of performance --
Section 122(c)(1);
- activities to provide comprehensive professional development for personnel --
Section 122(c)(2);
- involvement of parents, teachers, local businesses and labor organizations in programs --
Section 122(c)(3);
- allocation of funds to all eligible recipients --
Section 122(c)(4);
- activities for individuals who are members of special populations --
Section 122(c)(8);
- data reporting on students= participation --
Section 122(c)(12);
- relation of programs to occupational opportunities --
Section 122(c)(15);
- methods for joint planning and coordination with other Federal programs --
Section 122(c)(16);
- promotion of nontraditional training and employment preparation --
Section 122(c)(17);
- submission of complete, accurate and reliable data --
Section 122(c)(20).
Option 2
The second option for the one-year transitional plan is for those States that cannot meet the April 2, 1999, submission date because the State cannot fully satisfy the requirements in State and federal law by that date. We would expect those States to submit a letter of assurance addressing three areas: 1) goals or objectives that the State hopes to achieve, 2) process and timelines for developing the transitional plan in order to comply with the various requirements of the State plan including all of the public requirements, and 3) fiscal accountability including the amount of funds to be used to carry out State-level activities, and the process use to distribute program funds within the State. The letter of assurance also should include a completed assurances sheet and certification page, including the signature of the authorized State representative. After the completion of the state planning process, the State then would submit its transitional plan addressing the items included in I. A (Option 1) to this Department by May 15, 1999. As stated before, CMIA deadlines apply, however, we will try our best to work with you to meet your needs by releasing the federal funds by July 1, 1999.
Option 3
The third option for the one-year transitional plan is for States to extend their current Perkins II plan with revisions or amendments. As stated at the regional workshops, amendments may or may not be substantial. The State decides in the first instance whether the change is substantial, however, the final decision will be made in the course of reviewing the State plan amendments. In order to qualify under this option, the State must clearly delineate the reasons why it cannot apply under the other available options. If a State selects this option, we expect that the State will describe how it will rapidly move towards implementation of Perkins III and how it will address the following requirements: 1) process and timelines for meeting Perkins III programmatic accountability provisions; 2) rationale for amendments or revisions identifying current needs and how the State is planning to meet these needs; 3) collaborative efforts with other Federal programs and stakeholders; and 4) fiscal accountability.
During the first year of approved transitional plans, States should continue their planning process in order to submit a final, comprehensive plan that promotes student achievement and career preparation. Approval of this final plan would be the basis on which funds would be awarded for FY 2000 and beyond.
II. Five-Year State Plan
A State choosing this option must ensure that the plan includes all of the required elements of Perkins III in detail. As indicated earlier, new State plans must meet the requirements of Section 427(b) of GEPA, as well as include the assurances required by Perkins III and EDGAR.
III. Unified Plan
Section 501 of WIA encourages States to develop a unified plan for, at least, two or more of the following programs: 1) workforce investment activities under Title I of WIA; 2) adult education and literacy under Title II of WIA; 3) secondary vocational education (if the State legislature approves); and 4) postsecondary vocational education. This plan must include all of the elements required for a separate 5-year plan. If a State does not include both secondary and postsecondary vocational education in its unified plan, it must submit a separate vocational education plan for that part which is not included.
IV. Consolidated Plan
Section 14302 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by Title I of the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA), allows State education agencies (SEA) to apply for federal program funds including Perkins III funds through a single, simplified consolidated plan rather than through separate funding applications or plans. The approval of a consolidated plan does not alter the obligation of an SEA and its grantees to continue to comply with all programmatic requirements of each program. An SEA may consolidate administrative funds under specified programs. In addition, approval of a consolidated State plan does not authorize commingling of program funds.
Again, the State will be expected to include the levels of performance and be sufficiently rigorous for the State and this Department to reach agreement on levels of performance for the period July 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000, for each of the core indicators of performance identified in Section 113(b)(2).
If your State is interested in this option, please contact the Division of Vocational-Technical Education for further information.
Tech-Prep Education
Section 203(c) of Perkins III requires States to submit to the Secretary an application in the manner and accompanied by the information that the Secretary may require to receive Tech-Prep Education funds. We recommend that the State's Tech-Prep application be submitted as part of the State plan. We also recommend that the Tech-Prep application follow the same specific procedures and requirements for whichever option your State chooses for the State plan.
As mentioned before, we are offering the same options for Tech-Prep as for the Basic Grants. Therefore, we are providing additional guidance for the three options under transitional Tech-Prep applications.
I. Transitional Plan (three options)
Under the first option, the one-year Tech-Prep transitional application must contain a general description of any changes the State intends to make to the existing State Tech-Prep plan in order to respond to changes in Perkins III's Tech Prep Education Act, Title II.
For instance, will the State make the awards on a competitive basis or on the basis of a formula?
How will the State review applications based on their potential to create an effective Tech-Prep education program? Are applications addressing the seven elements of Section 204(c)? For example,
- How will the curriculum be changed to help program participants meet academic standards developed by the State?
- Will the program design be modified to include work-based or worksite learning?
- Will the program design be modified to use educational technology and distance learning?
What will the State do to give special consideration to applications that address the five elements of Section 205(d)? For example:
- providing education and training in areas of significant workforce shortages?
- demonstrating how the program will help students meet high academic and employability competencies?
How will the State ensure that applicants address the special rule in Section 204(a)(2) regarding expanded membership in Tech-Prep consortia?
How will the State collect data to address the reporting requirements in Section 206?
The second option for the one-year transitional Tech-Prep application is the same as for the Basic Grants. The State may submit a letter of assurance addressing the three areas indicated in I. B(Option 2). The application would then have to be completed and submitted to this Department by May 15, 1999.
The third option would extend the Perkins II Tech Prep application but address Perkins III requirements as follows: 1) any changes the State intends to make to the existing State Tech Prep application in order to respond to changes in Perkins III's Tech Prep Education Act, Title II; 2)process and timelines for meeting Perkins III accountability provisions including addressing the reporting requirements in Section 206; and 3) fiscal accountability including the amount of funds to be used to carry out Tech Prep activities, and the process use to distribute Tech Prep funds to consortia within the State. Again, the State will clearly delineate the reasons why it cannot meet other available options and how it will rapidly move to implement Perkins III.
II. Five-Year State Plan
A State choosing this option must ensure that the Tech-Prep application includes all of the required elements of Perkins III in detail (section II.under Basic Grants).
For the other two options -- Unified Plan and Consolidated Plan- the Tech-Prep application will follow the same specific procedures and requirements.
In Title II, Tech-Prep Education, a new initiative referred to as high schools at community colleges, is included (Section 207). When funds are appropriated for this demonstration program, additional guidance will be provided to the States.

The University of Colorado Boulder has partnered with the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, N.M., to bring to campus a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance scanner that will significantly enhance the neuroimaging capabilities on campus.
The partnership, called the Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium, is designed to bring researchers from Boulder, the Front Range and New Mexico together to cooperatively use the new system to investigate how the brain works and how it influences our behavior.
At the heart of the center, the 25,000-pound, $3 million Siemens 3T Trio Magnetic Resonance Imaging System will be the most powerful imaging system on campus and will allow brain researchers to use new tools and techniques in the quest to better understand brain function and anatomy. The scanner will be located at CU-Boulder's Center for Innovation and Creativity, which also houses the Janus supercomputer, one of the 52 fastest computers in the world.
Having these two tools in the same location will greatly help researchers analyze the massive amounts of brain imaging data and investigate the link between brain activity and behavior, according to Marie Banich, executive director of the Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium and director of CU-Boulder's Institute of Cognitive Science. Along with software being developed at CU-Boulder, the Janus Supercomputer will allow researchers to combine multiple measures of how the brain functions with measures of brain anatomy to see which best predict aspects of people's behavior, such as whether they are sensitive to pain.
"The implications of the work to be performed here at CU-Boulder are far-reaching," Banich said. "These range from revealing the causes of mental illness and addiction, which in turn can lead to the creation of new avenues for treatments, to understanding factors that influence how easy or difficult it is to pay attention."
In addition, researchers from CU-Boulder's Institute for Behavioral Genetics will use the scanner to determine what aspects of brain function are more strongly influenced by genetic factors and which are more highly influenced by the environment. Developmental psychologists will be examining how the brain changes during childhood and adolescence, while others will examine the effects on the brain of training and interventions.
Prior to the imaging system's delivery to campus, CU-Boulder researchers had to travel down to the Anschutz Medical Campus to conduct brain scans, while others scanned their subjects on the East and West coasts.

In the end, Myshkin's honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him.

I am a first year beekeeper in central MA with one hive - I installed a package on 4/13, and the bees have been doing great! I added a 2nd deep super a couple of weeks ago.
I have heard the idea that beekeepers shouldn't expect any honey the first year, especially from a packaged hive on undrawn foundation. I understand the reasons why but have some questions about the logistics.
* As the bees draw out the comb in the 2nd brood chamber, should I plan on adding honey supers?
* If I do, is this the honey the bees use for the upcoming winter?
* If so, how would they move up into the super over the winter? I thought they would/should stay in the brood boxes.
* How would I know if they have put up enough honey that I could take some (if at all)?
I thought that the bees would keep their own stores in the lower 2 brood boxes, and that was what had to subsist them through the winter.
If someone could enlighten me on this aspect, I'd appreciate it!
-- Steven

Play-By-Playmate: So Over It.
As you all well know, Jaime is the fiery red-haired type. Well this weekend she got into a bar fight. The following is a true story and the final word on what actually happened.
Anyone who follows me on Twitter might know a little bit of the story I'm about to tell. I was involved in a minor altercation this weekend that turned into a major one that turned into one of my patented redheaded rants that will now appear in this blog. And if Lame Golf Guys or Guy Drinking all the Haterade at The Rack in South Tampa are reading this, I win. Final word, right here.
But before I get all fired up again, I'd like to congratulate Dale Earnhardt Jr. on his first major win in four years, ending a 143-race drought. FOUR YEARS! And he won it convincingly, finishing well ahead of the pack. To turn a phrase, he's over it.
Someone who isn't over a four-year drought (and the rant sort of starts here) is Tiger Woods. But I'm over him. Seriously, guys, Tiger hasn't won anything worth noting in FOUR YEARS! Yet every time anyone talks about golf, they're talking about Tiger, Tiger this and Tiger that. He just had one of the worst finishes of his career (tied for 21st) and we're still talking about Tiger. Well, I'm done. In no other sport would we waste so much time talking about someone who hasn't won. I'm done. I'm over it.
But some people aren't (this is where the rant really starts). I was at my favorite sports bar last night to watch Game Three of the Finals and these four guys dressed in golf garb like they just came from Augusta are sitting there expecting people to be quiet while they watch the U.S. Open. At a sports bar. During the NBA Finals. An amazing NBA Finals. In Florida. While the Miami Heat are playing. And they want all the TVs in the place to show golf and they want everyone to be quiet…
Seriously, guys!? If you want to watch golf, go home. Go watch it on your couch, with beer, where you can give little dainty claps you want. I couldn't believe it. Picture me fighting with four golf dudes over watching the Miami Heat in a crowded sports bar in South Tampa. Whose side do you think the bar was on? Golf at a rowdy bar? Those guys need to get over it (or themselves or whatever).
So I moved to the end of the bar where normal people were watching the basketball game and I guess I was a little fired up 'cause I immediately got into another altercation over LeBron James.
This is where my redhead rant took off. I went into full-blown "you won't get a word in edgewise" mode 'cause quite frankly, I'm soooooooo over LeBron haters. So over it. So the guy choked a couple times. Do you know what his playoff averages are? Try 28.5 points a game, 8.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists. Those are like Larry Bird numbers. Karl Malone numbers. Numbers that make you stand up and say "That guy is good." He's good. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. LeBron James is great and I'm over the haters. So over them.
