J.W. Anderson Spring 2012
Jonathan Anderson is the new kid on the British block, a young Northern Irishman with a fresh take on street-sportswear. After only two seasons, he is such a draw that he was given the chance to open London Fashion Week with his J.W. Anderson collection in two presentations that were packed to the windowsills at Somerset House on Saturday morning. What the editors were looking for was an update on the androgynous narrow paisley-printed pajama suits, kilts, and patchworked tweed/parka hybrids he did for fall, all of which he makes in Britain and believes on dishing out at prices people his age can actually afford.
All that pressure of expectation could cause a young designer to melt down, but Anderson kept his composure, turning out a slick show with a more elegant attitude (he had high heels for the first time) and new versions of the simple, but outstanding, two-piece numbers that several people in the audience had shown up wearing.
For this collection Anderson said he "ransacked Britain for anyone who makes technical fabric." He found a laser-cut neoprene mesh and a tufted white plastic, exploring how modern synthetics would work with classic men's striped shirting, leather bindings, and chain-link details. It turned out looking sharp when he focused on reinventing generics: biker jackets with cotton shirting fronts, leather backs and collars (with whip-stitched leather binding running up the sleeves), simple T-shirts and miniskirts made boxy in electric blue mesh, and more of his signature tailored pajama suits, one of which (in pink candy-stripe cotton) had a big JWA logo embroidered on the top, a sign that this kid has ambitions to build a brand.
But how, and in what direction? With this collection, Anderson branched out into asymmetrical collaged dresses with patches of colored sparkle and a finale of cardigan-composites that took on the idea of the tied-around sweaters he did last season (they came attached to the waistbands of kilts). Those pieces, more complicated and feminine than anything he's thus far attempted, had some observers grumbling about a too-close similarity to Balenciaga. Where Anderson is on much surer ground is as a compiler and editor of pure and simple garments with a minimal reference (or two) in the language of street style. What he might not realize yet is that there are already far too many tricky clothes in the world, and thousands of girls out there craving something straightforwardly cool to wear as a crisp print shirt and a neat pleated skirt. Still, the boy has time to figure that out. When Anderson loped backstage to make sure all was OK for his second show, he was mobbed by models singing "Happy Birthday," and presented with a chocolate cake. He's 27 today.

A girl i was hanging out with said it almost tasted like soda and wanted more as she'd never drank non-typical beer. She was hooked. delirium tremens was pretty good. Something i'd drink again. It was just overshadowed because i liked DdB so much. I need to get a decent glass for beer. I have tall thin glasses or wider plastic cups now.

Keep in mind that this doesn't include private sales either.
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference- they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. George Washington
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
George Washington
Keep in mind that this doesn't include private sales either.
On another forum, someone figured up that was more than the number of soldiers in the 10 largest armed forces in the world, combined. If true, that's rather interesting.
Of course, that doesn't mean 10,800,000 different Americans bought guns in 2011. Seven of them were to me, for example, on the appropriate forms.
Not counting resurrected parts kit builds either...heh-heh.
At least 10 for me last year.

5 for me, but i had a few more but those where private sales.
Glad to see that
From the article;
Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Recent statistics released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) report that for nineteen straight months, and that includes all of 2011, American men & women bought over 10,800,000 plus firearms.
The final number, of 10,800,000, is considered conservative by experts because the this number does not account for the multiple purchase of guns at the same time or the guns bought and sold legally, person to person by US residents, which rightly so, do not require a back ground check.
Ten Million new gun owners, in just 2011, should be a wake up call to our current President who continues to play dumb that his hate of bible clinging, gun toting American Values, like hunting & owning guns will not be tolerated. His and Eric Holder's "under the radar" plan to sell guns to evil Mexican Gun Cartels in an effort to set up the Second Amendment as the fall guy now has ten million people angry at him.
If just one current Presidential candidate (Ron Paul aside..) could prove his sworn support for the Second Amendment, and the constitution for that matter, and rally our forces behind him he would be swept into the white house on a massive wave of support. Can you, lol.. say Ted Nugent?
So what does 10,800,000 look like?
The guns purchased by American men & women in 2011 is more than one gun for every active duty military member in the worlds fourteen largest armies combined.
•Russia Russian Federation 1,027,000
•North Korea 1,106,000
•South Korea 687,000
•Vietnam 455,000
•India 1,325,000
•China 2,285,000
•Iran 523,000
•United States 1,468,364
•Republic of China 290,000
•Brazil 327,710
•Pakistan 617,000
•Egypt 468,500
•Cuba 49,000
•Ukraine 129,925
•Above Total = 10,758,499
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
The number is impressive, however how many will be willing to keep them if demanded that they be turned in? How many will be willing to use them, push come to shove, against the tyranny that has become the federal government?
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
I accounted for 3 of those from a dealer, also got 3 from private sales last year.
And about the comment how many of those people are willing to keep regardless of what happens, my guns will never be someone elses until I die and they are passed down.
i got a pistol or two last year.
i do make far more than go on lay-away.
i know someone who bought over 150 in the past 3 months and got a visit and a letter from atf. they tried to infringe on the collector -dealer borderline.
unfortunately most people who own guns never stock up enough on ammo, assuming they can always run down to wally's and get them sum.

Two children hospitalized, chain-reaction crash under investigation
CARTERET COUNTY - A four-car wreck in Newport Saturday left five people, including two children, hurt.
The crash happened around 9 a.m. at the intersection of Chatham St. and Merry Woods Dr., police said.
A Ford Explorer was stopped on Chatham, with a Chevy pickup truck was behind it, police said.
A GMC Sierra slammed into the Chevy, which then hit the Explorer, police said.
Investigators say April Thomas was driving the pickup that started it all.
The Explorer was forced into the opposing lane, hitting a Mazda Protégé.
The five people injured were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Speed appears to be a factor in the crash, police said.
The accident remains under investigation.
No charges have been filed.

New judge to preside over deadly fire case in Lafayette County
Darlington - A new judge will preside over the trial for two brothers charged with killing three children in a Lafayette County house fire.
Green County Judge Thomas Vale was appointed to replace a Lafayette County judge at the request of Armin and Jeremy Wand. One of the first motions Vale will consider is a defense request that could move the trial out of Lafayette County.
Armin Wand, 32, is the father of the children killed in the fire - 7-year-old Allen, 5-year-old Jeffery and 3-year-old Joseph Wand. The brothers are also facing attempted homicide charges for allegedly trying to kill Armin Wand's wife, Sharon, and their 2-year-old daughter, Jessica.
The Wisconsin State Journal says the request for a change of venue was based on heavy media coverage of the case.

No additional charges in pipe bomb case for now
BONNEVILLE COUNTY, Idaho - For now, additional charges will not be brought against a man who was found to have a pipe bomb in his house, the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
Shawn Heath told authorities he was using the device to clear out beaver dams near his home, said sheriff's office spokesman Sgt. Jeff Edwards.
But Edwards said authorities have not ruled out charges in the future, which may or may not be related to the pipe bomb.
Heath was already in jail after being arrested over the weekend on a charge of felony attempted strangulation and a misdemeanor drug charge.
Heath's girlfriend was at the house accompanied by deputies on the 12000 North block of 115 East near Ririe to pick up some belongings when she discovered the pipe bomb Monday. It was a 5-inch galvanized pipe with twist-on caps on each end. Heath had told her not to touch anything in the bedroom. Deputies said they also found bomb-making materials in the bedroom.
Heath's preliminary hearing is set for October.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ninakk, sorry to hear about your losses. It is hard enough for one. I was just thinking about you before I saw your post. Take your time, we understand
Well, it's been several hours now since I saved my husband's life. Yes really! We were at TGIF for lunch and he got choked on a piece of steak. He coughed and no sound came out and he acted like he was gagging. I asked him if he was "ok" and he shook his head no. I hit him once between the shoulder blades and he made a little air gasp. I had to actually do the Heimlich on him to get the meat dislodged. It came up and he gasped a deep breath.
The only others people that seemed to notice were a group of teenagers with one mom and I think they freaked out a little. They were finished eating and ready to leave anyway but no one asked what was going on.
I was calm and clear while it was happening but once it was over I noticed my hands shaking and felt slightly dizzy.
If you don't know how to do the Heimlich or think you'll never need it, think again. Things happen in a blink of an eye and your life could be changed forever.
I am extremely thankful I knew what to do and could do it calmly when needed...I hope I never have to do it again but am so thankful my husband is still with me tonight.

We managed to make it to everything on the list, including the Libby Lehman-Alex Anderson show. I feel so honored to have seen her before she fell ill, although it looks a little more promising for her recovery.

There should be some difference in bolt thrust depending on bullet weight, right?
How about if I rebated the rim on the 6.5? If I turned it down to .440 it wouldn't lessen the force on the bolt face, right?
the bullet weight has nothing to do with it the pressure is the number you use. Now if you were calulating recoil then the bullet weight has a big factor.
as far as rebating or adding a rim it will not change the the amount of bolt thrust. you actualy need to use the inside of the case ID to do the caluclations. think of it this way if you were to jack up your car with a bottle jack and you placed a board under it and had 2000 pound of weight on the board. then placed a smaller board between the jack and the original board you would still have the same weight on the original board. the pounds per square inch would be the differant from board to the other but the total weight would be the same.. ( I THINK I SAID THAT RIGHT IVE HAD A FEW RUM AND COKES AND ITS 130 AM and im no enginere either.LOL)

As far as I can recall, -gsample- does a decent job of selecting one
observation from the list, provided, as you found the hard way, that
you don't have any certainty units. However, it is not appropriate for
many real situation sampling problems, which usually require more
complicated code. You also need to be aware that PPSWOR is a very
non-trivial and counter-intuitive task. See
http://www.citeulike.org/user/ctacmo/tag/unequal_prob_sampling for the
appropriate references. All in all, you probably need to do this:
1. Identify the certainty units, set their probability of selection to 1.
2. Adjust the probability distribution, pulling up the probabilities
for other units.
3. Check again for the certainty units: repeat steps 1-2 until the
probability of selection on a single draw have converged.
4. Implement your PPS procedure -- systematic sample is the poor man,
old days shortcut procedure to sample from the physical list on
sheet(s) of paper that leads to technical difficulties in variance
estimation; Rao-Hartley-Cochran is the easiest-to-implement shortcut
that leads to an approximate PPS; Rao-Sampford used to be the most

Stop and savor the fragrance of Portland's expansive collection of gorgeous flora with this one-night Escape to the Courtyard by Marriott, Portland Downtown/Convention Center.
"There are at least three things you can do especially well in Portland, Oregon, and they're all important: eating, drinking, and getting around.

"Add to this the ubiquitous local art and a widespread recycling ethic, and you've hit upon much of what makes this verdant, forward-thinking city of 575,930 so appealing."
Located just blocks from the Oregon Convention Center and the Rose Garden arena, the newly renovated Courtyard by Marriott provides you with comfortably appointed accommodations, outfitted with a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, and pillow-top mattresses. The hotel also boasts a fitness center and indoor pool.
Your stay is burgeoning with entertainment options.

Later, grab a bite from Charley's on Grand—the Courtyard's on-site, full-service restaurant dishes out breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Everything's coming up roses with this Escape to the Courtyard by Marriott Portland.
"This hotel was in a convenient location for all of our activities. The room was quiet and clean. Our waiter, Aly, at Charley's on Grand restaurant in the lobby, gave excellent service each morning for breakfast."-- TripAdvisor

Parent behavior and youth sports
Original post made by Steele Harris, Menlo Park, on Feb 28, 2007
Now that I have witnessed for myself the negative consequences of such behavior, it seems worthwhile to help spread the word about the dangers of overzealous parents at children's athletic functions.
This parent's tirade was directed at people whom he deemed responsible for the one-game suspension of two of his son's teammates. Their suspension was a result of conduct off the field. Of course, the team lost its next game.
It is unfortunate that the following day a few of the players were still fuming about their loss, looking to blame their defeat on player suspensions. Yet it is easy to understand why they would not see a problem with complaining about something outside of their control. They watched a parent berate several people close to the decision to suspend players during and after the game for all the players and other parents to hear.
The damage here extends beyond the misguided message that "winning is everything." The challenge now is how to convince these impressionable youths that while winning enhances the fun they are supposed to be having, both are secondary to the etiquette of proper sportsmanship.
Sadly, the idea that personal integrity is everything is a more difficult concept for them to embrace when it is not exhibited by their biggest role models.

Check out Positive Coaching Alliance (positivecoach.org). This should be a requirement for parents and coaches alike. Sports is not only about winning but also about teaching life's lessons. Without knowing what caused the suspension, it would seem that the suspended students are at fault. Their actions hurt their team. Someone should point out that. Rather than blaming administrators, parents should be ensuring that their children learn a lesson.

An essential life lesson - focus on the future, on what you can control, what you can do better, and what you can reasonably hope to change. It's also unfortunate that with someone like that, you can safely assume that any effort to mediate or mitigate will put you in their crosshairs next. It's a shame, because I think coaches and officials need plenty of allies these days.
I used to run the scoreboard for middle school basketball games and saw some awful officiating sometimes, (though I sympathize with the referee who has to draw the line on travels and double-dribbles for middle-schoolers in a small school league with lots of beginning players!). Anyway, after losses, or even close wins, my students would sometimes complain about the officiating. I would always ask them questions like, "Did he miss any layups? How many bad passes did the ref make? Did he box out, or give up too many offensive rebounds? Did he make his free throws? Did he make the extra pass?" I hoped those questions put students into a more generous frame of mind - "hmmm, I'm not perfect either!" - and made them realize that a few bad calls wouldn't have made the difference if the team had played better, so they should focus on that. After a while, I did notice some decrease in their complaints. Whether that was a real shift in attitude, or just a recognition that they should take it to a more sympathetic audience, I couldn't say for sure. (Now, in the privacy of my own home, I won't tell you what choice words I have for Pac-10 basketball officials sometimes!)

I used to coach youth soccer and discontinued any involvement with it because of parents behavior. The worst aspect was sideline coaching. Many parents, who by the way knew nothing about the game, wouldn't stop screaming instruction to their kids. I tried to teach my players to play a certain way using specific tactics and a pre-designed stragedy, but they would get so confused by the screaming coming from the sidelines that they couldn't even remember the way they were supposed to play and started just booting the ball purposelessly. All attempts to get the parents to stop their sideline coaching had failed. Parents would commit to limit their involvement to just cheering their team on without sideline coaching, but once the game started, they reverted to their old ways.I heard that parents are even more obnoxious in Little League.

I have seen ayso referees giving yellow cards to parents at soccer games. Usually these parents are completely unaware of how their behavior disrupts the game and the yellow card given in a light hearted but firm manner works wonders as the group of parents supporting the team then help the "miscreant" parent. It is often at the lower levels that the parents do this as they are not used to someone else being in charge of their child or telling their child what to do. I once heard a 1st grade parent shouting to a child on the field that if they didn't do what their coach told them they would have to come for time out on their blanket. That didn't fit well with the coach although the parent really felt that he was helping!!
Any of the little league games I have been to seem to be fine. Many of the parents know very little about the game as they were not raised in a baseball nation and don't know the rules themselves. This often helps because the parents get together and educate each other.
However, any problems I have seen usually go away when the parent that is alotted the positive coaching role has a quiet word with anyone who needs one.

I was actually referring to CYSA soccer, class-1. This is a league played at a much higher level than AYSO, players are chosen based on tryouts and the games are fiercely competitive. My experience has been that the sideline coaching parents couldn't help themselves. Even after pulling them aside at half-time and admonishing them and even after mid-week conversations, e-mails, phone calls, etc, once the game started, they would be back to their old tricks. In reality, it's about them and not the kids.

I used to coach youth sports too. I think I've cured myself of that habit. At first, I was coaching just to keep my kid from being on the team of another coach who was chasing kids out of the game. I got lots of training, went to a zillion clinics (Positive Coaching Alliance and many others) and for a while, thought I was helping the community.
But the majority of kids around here seem to believe that they are owed a starting spot, or a break when they skip practice, or special consideration because Mom and/or Dad are famous or rich. It got so depressing.
Though I had a few kids on my most recent team who were willing to do the work and learn the skills, and earn playing time, the majority seemed to feel that just by showing up they were doing me a huge favor. There are kids out there I loved working with, but when the Problem Kids outnumbered the hard workers, it was time for me to do something else.
I've had parents get yellow-carded at events. One got red-carded. Bad reffing is part of the game -- I tried to coach my kids to play well enough that a ref's terrible call wouldn't affect the outcome. I'd hear parents complain, after a huge loss, that the refs made our team lose. Uh, no they didn't. It was your kids, thinking that they didn't have to play the game well and that they could blame someone else for their misses, who cost the team the game.
I may coach again, but it won't be in Palo Alto.

As the parent of two youngsters (6, 4) who have yet to try organized sports, I'm pretty discouraged reading this thread. Are the YMCA leagues any better, anyone? I live across the street from a school where they sometimes play what appears to be the lowest level of baseball (parents pitch, kids maybe 6-7 year old players). First of all, it leaves me wondering why some kids who can't yet hit, throw, or catch - at all - are even playing baseball, which is a slow and boring game for most of the kids most of the game. You can be in the lineup and go 10, 20 minutes without being involved in a play. At least at that age a kid can kick a soccer ball and run, so soccer makes sense. Over the years, I've never seen one of these little baseball players record an out, unless the runner tried to stretch a single into a triple. I guess they bat around each inning and then switch places. But the sideline coaching happens even at that level. Not always, but as often as not, it seems like every time a pitch goes by, you hear some combination of, "Good eye, nice swing, step into it, keep your eye on the ball, nice level swing, keep your elbow up, wait for your pitch, good try, swing all the way through, choke up a bit, bring the bat back more..." All very positive, but sheesh, imagine trying to learn how to play the game with a dozen well-intentioned tips offered every time you step up to the plate.

Just an example of how disruptive and counterproductive sideline coaching can be. I always coached my soccer players to never boot the ball aimlessly, even when the retrieve it in their own goal area but to look for an open teammate in order to build up a counterattack. When my players would get their ball in their own pernalty box, parents would scream:'boot it out of there, boot it out of there'. Often, the players would forget my teaching and just boot it out, almost always to the other team, which is very bad soccer. My advise to any parent signing their kid up, in any sport, would be to ask the coach to meet with all parents before the season begins and have all parents commit to zero sideline coaching.

Just let your kids try it and ese how it goes. My kids' experience with local soccer and swimming was very positive, and I've met great parents and coaches over the years. AYSO and our small local swim team both go all out to teach graciousness while winning or losing. Over 12 years of course there will also be some negative people, feelings, and events, but those teach life lessons too. As long as you all agree that it's "only a game", the kids can learn lots about competition, dealing with disappointment, setting goals and OK, the thrill of victory. As a parent who never played sports herself, I learned a lot too.

I found this thread as part of a Google Search, and was astounded to see so many disheartened soccer parents. Being miles away in Wisconsin, and of a Canadian background, you can well imagine that ice-hockey is a favorite sport of mine and my 2 boys, ages 12 and 7 have played for years in Youth Hockey in a very good association with strict rules of conduct that are signed at the beginning of the season by both players and parents.
Still, we are currenty having extensive problems with one Dad in particular, who, along with his own yelling at the refs, incites a couple of other Dads to join in the shouting. The Team Manager has emailed the 2nd Reprimand this season already, but it floors me as to the myopic vision of this otherwise intelligent Dad. So, I put a call to one of my clients who happens to be a very good psychotherapist, and sports fan, to ask him for some insight into this. I do confront this guy after his episodes and I tell him to cut it out and obey our Rules of Conduct, but I fear that he will not quit until the Association actually boots him out (bans him) from the remainder of the season (about 3 weeks or so).
This phenomenon of attempts to intimdate the referees and therefore potentially alter the course of a game, crosses all sports in this area. Parents cross that line constantly. Good Luck in Palo Alto, and I assure you that we feel the same pain here!,,,,,Brian

LSU running back Jeremy Hill breaks past Auburn defensive backs Joshua Holsey and Ryan White on a touchdown run in the first half Saturday night in Baton Rouge. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Sunday, September 22, 2013 1:19 AM
By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
BATON ROUGE — Even clad in a soaked yellow slicker suit postgame, LSU's Les Miles wasn't ready to admit that it actually defied the myth and rained in Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night.
Maybe instead he should be praying for more of the wet stuff.
The sixth-ranked Tigers dominated Auburn when the nasty elements were more fit for a shelter in place in the first half, but had to hang on for something close to dear life after the rains let up before LSU stayed unbeaten with a 35-21 victory.
At any rate, all involved agreed a two-touchdown victory shouldn't have had this much anxiety to open Southeastern Conference play.
"We took such a strong lead initially, but I just didn't like how we finished," Miles said. "We have to finish this."
"I'm disappointed because I know how good we can be," LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger said.
It was there.
The Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) led 21-0 at the half, 28-7 in the third quarter and 35-14 on the first play of the fourth quarter.
At times it looked easy.
Jeremy Hill rushed for 184 yards, scored three touchdowns and set up another with his longest run of the night, and Jarvis Landry had 118 yards on seven receptions, including a 32-yard scoring catch to open the final quarter.
The 457 yards of offense was the balance Miles has been looking for — 228 on the ground, 229 from Mettenberger in the air.
But Miles couldn't really breathe a sigh of relief until his defense finally turned Auburn (3-1, 1-1) away in the final minute with a goal-line stand keyed by D.J. Welter's 8-yard sack of quarterback Nick Marshall.
"We need to run the ball (in the second half) and have a nice orderly finish," Miles said. "That was not what I would consider an orderly finish. We have to finish this.
"We certainly can play better."
Without the final goal-line stand, Auburn, which got all of its points and 333 of its 437 yards in the second half, had already shown it knew how to recover an onside kick. Only an official review showing AU touched one too early kept AU from getting the ball back immediately after pulling to within 35-21 with 6:33 remaining.
That might have really made it interesting.
Perhaps more curious than Miles' weather report.
"It was very close to raining," Miles said of the miserable night. "It was a very stiff dew that was out there."
At times it was also a sideways "stiff dew," occasionally a roaring stiff dew and, at the least, it was a fairly steady stiff dew for most of the first half.
But it didn't bother LSU. The Tigers thrived on it.
"We have the flexibility in our style of play," Miles said of whatever it was that made things so slippery. "It allowed us to do some things."
Hill, whose 184 yards were the most by an LSU back in nine years, scored the first two times he touched the ball for a quick 14-0 lead and the Tigers expanded it to 21-0 by halftime
Hill scored on a 49-yard run on his first carry, got in from 10 yards out moments later after Auburn couldn't handle the snap on a punt and did the bulk of the work on another score when he broke free for a 54-yard gain down to the 1-yard line.
Those were pretty much the highlights, although LSU certainly didn't shut the offense down while Auburn got going to score three touchdowns in the second half.
"I wish we would have finished a lot stronger than we did," said Hill. "We put our defense in tough positions. We started off well. We just need to finish."
It was the usual problem for teams playing the up-tempos styles that Auburn has adopted.
"Good balance," Miles said of his own offense. "We made some big plays in both (passing and running game). But we put our defense out there for 85 snaps and you can't do that."

They work (the enzymes)

My brother and I take these. They do work, but our pH is not yet 7 as it has to be. But I think that's normal if you follow a detox program. At least my pH is never lower as 6 anymore. Before it was 5 or less. Sometimes I take 1 alkalizer capsule extra with these and then my pH is oke. So this one (enzymedica)is maybe a a little expensive. You can also use an alalizer(powder for) they are cheaper. I use them both. But I don't overdose.

Its enteric coated which means that it targets the correct tissue within the body thereby allowing it to be more effective. I had previously been taking NOW Super Enzymes die to the fact that my diet was pretty high in processed foods as well as a fair amount of animal fat/protein. For which I still prefer the NOW. Ive since modified my food intake to MUCH less animal products .. So, Ice switched to Enzymedica. I still have a fair amount of plant based preprocessed food though ( still on strict bedrest). Great product & helps with bowel regulation. Especially in conjunction with the refrigerated version of Udo's Super 8 & Barlean's refridgerated fish oil. Keep my body workin' properly


text: I am getting ready to graft using the cell punch method this weekend. I made a cell starter nuc tonight by boosting the nuc in the air on legs with a 1/8th inch hardware cloth wrap inside the legs. I sat in the class at Wooster this year for queen rearing, and now I am going off of memory. After grafting, they put the frame in a 24 hour starter and then moved the frame of started queen cells to a finisher. I had planned on doing this, but tonight I have read twice where guys have just left them in the starter nuc for the whole duration of cell growth. My question is, do I really need a seperate finisher and why are there 2 seperate hives? The starter and finisher. Now I am thinking of leaving them in the starter nuc, and move the individual ripe cells to queenless nucs about 2 days out from hatching. Am I on the right track? Thanks!!!

A little messy, really.
The TV did not work very well. Internet yes!
Un poco sucio, la verdad.
La televisión no funciona muy bien. Internet, sí!
I recommed highly this apartent to everyone!
Andrea is a very good host! My flight arrived 5am to Rio de Janeiro but no problem, she had arranged keys to the door man, so I got some sleep straight away! Same with the check out; it was no problem to stay a bit longer! :)
The studio itself is small, but very functional: you have all you need to have a comfortable stay! A wifi that works all the time, kitchenette and a huge fridge for your daily dosage of beer! ;)
It is also nicely situated in Lapa; Rua dos Invalidos isn't too busy and you have markets and bars all very close! Arcos da Lapa is some six minutes away by walking and Centro is also close! Buses to Copacabana and Ipanema are 150 metres away on Rua Riachuelo!
All together this is a very nice and preferable option to any hotel with many advantages!
I hope you enjoy your stay too!
The simple studio on the eighth floor was clean and well functional. The neighborhood was alive, but mostly quiet. The studio has a nice wide view over the Cenrto of Rio. An area full of some of the best Samba Locale and earn props are from Rio. At events the sound can also be heard until the early hours of the morning. The area is quite safe, even night's. Spent iin Rio 4 good weeks. The studio I was very pleased.
Das einfache Studio im achten Stock war sauber und gut funktionell eingerichtet. Die Nachbarschaft war lebendig, aber meistens ruhig. Das Studio hat einen schönen Weitblick auf das Cenrto von Rio. Im Quartier befinden sich einige der besten Samba-Locale und Clups von Rio. Bei Veranstaltungen kann der Sound aber hörbar sein bis in die frühen Morgenstunden. Die Umgebung ist ziemlich sicher , auch Nacht's. Habe 4 gute Wochen iin Rio verbracht. Mit dem Studio war ich sehr zufrieden.
What a nice lapa is really nice, the rooms also top
Einfach nur top lapa ist echt schön das Zimmer auch top
after staying in rio week befour i found out lapa is dangerous place to be haveing seen another safer location advertised by the same host i asked host could i swap apartment and location based on i found out lapa was unsafe area the host told me it wasnt possible as it was already taken yet the next say it was still advertised - when i pointed this out to host i didnt get a reply ! so i decided to book hotel - i felt host didnt care about my safety and even paying the differance in price with apartment wasnt enough for host no refund was even offered to me -
Apartment located in Lapa, great for those who want fun evening. Comfortable bed. Small bathroom and kitchen. Overall it was good.
Apartamento bem localizado na Lapa, ótimo para quem quer diversão à noite. Cama confortável. Banheiro e cozinha pequenos. No geral foi bom.
Nice studio at the center. Police station right across the street so I could walk around at night and felt safe. The hosts were curteous and gave me extra bed sheets for the length of stay. Only complain is that WIFI doesn't really work, it uses a VIVO moderm to take 3G signals then convert to WiFi. Maybe the data plan was not fast enough. Overall I liked the place.
We were very disappointed with this apartment. The owners are lovely and ideal location on Copacabana. But the apartment is small, very noisy. Sewage odors unbearable. It is very noisy. The window overlooks a wall. Stairways and elevators are dirty. I do not absolutely recommend this apartment! We were returning each evening backwards.
Nous avons été très déçus par cette appartement. Les propriétaires sont charmants et la situation sur Copacabana idéale. Mais l'appartement est petit, très bruyant. Des odeurs d'égout insupportables. C'est très bruyant. La fenêtre donne sur un mur. Les escaliers et ascenseurs sont sales.
Je ne recommande absolument pas cet appartement!
Nous y rentrions chaque soir à reculons.
Andrea was very friendly and was not complicated, there was a small problem in the bathroom that sent quickly fix and. Allowed you to stay for three nights for the same price. The place is in a good area of Lapa, near Barea, botecos and bus stops. It was great!
Andrea fue muy amable y no fue complicada, habia un pequeño problema en el baño que mandó a arreglar enseguida, y .os permitió quedarnos por tres noches más por el mismo precio. El lugar está en una buena zona de Lapa, cerca de barea, botecos y paradas de bus. Fue genial!
It was the most beautiful day of my life I loved the fit and the position really a cutie .... obrigadoooo!!
Foram os dias mais lindos da minha vida adorei a posiçao o apto e realmente uma gracinha....obrigadoooo!!!!

Titan Volcano May Be Source of Methane in the Moon's
As much as three percent of the smoggy atmosphere of Saturn's moon
Titan is made up of methane. Having any atmosphere at all makes
Titan unique among moons, but scientists have been particularly
puzzled over the presence of methane. A recent image snapped by the
Cassini spacecraft hints at an answer. The image shows a circular
topographical figure with two wings jutting out from it. The feature
in the image looks much like volcanoes viewed on Earth and Venus, so
the researchers posit that this ring on Titan is a volcano some 19
miles in diameter, and its wings are flows of ice and methane. A
pool below the surface probably supplies the methane.

Smells Like Liquid Television: Oxytocin Promotes Human
A nasal spray that washes away protective suspicions sounds too full
of insidious potential to be true, but it's not some villainous
comic book fantasy. Researchers report that the hormone oxytocin
promotes trust among human beings. They extracted the hormone into a
nasal spray, and set up an experiment in which subjects were given
money to invest. Half of the investors were dosed with the oxytocin
spray; half were not. The result: Those exposed were twice as likely
to risk all of their money with strangers, and in the end had
invested 17 percent more of their money than the control subjects.
However, their inhibitions dropped only in face-to-face encounters.

New Evidence Revives Old Debate over California's Ancient
Did ancient Polynesians visit Southern California between 500 and
700 A.D.? A controversial new study in the journal American
Antiquity suggests that the answer is yes. The paper bases
its conclusions on two strands of theory: Revised carbon dating of
an ancient ceremonial headdress suggests that Southern California's
Chumash Indians were fishing deep-sea waters at about the same time
as the Polynesians, and the Chumash word for "sewn-plank
canoe" is similar to the Polynesian term for redwoods, which
they used to make a similar type of canoe. The contention reawakens
the "transpacific diffusion" hypothesis, which holds that
Pacific Islanders and Asians may have visited ancient North
America—an idea that fell out of anthropological favor in the
20th century.

Honeybee's Waggle Dance an Elaborate Communication
Most biologists believe the famed waggle dance of the honeybee
constitutes coded language that directs other bees to nectar and
pollen. The insight won Karl von Frisch a Nobel Prize in 1973. It
also sparked dissent: The dance is just a meaningless paroxysm
brought on by the scent of food, others said. A recent study used
radio transponders to track honeybees and determine flight paths,
then collapsed them into hard data that finally tied the dance to
language. Sure enough, after the bees seemed to confer about sweet
but scent-free sucrose stocked at the far end of an isolated German
meadow, those recruited by the dance-language flew to the source,
even calculating for wind drift.

Sunlight Trips the Eye Fantastically
"Nothing is as it appears to be." The axiom can be applied
to our perception of the sky, which is influenced by a mix of
atmospheric physics and our own physiology. While passing through
the Earth's atmosphere, sunlight scatters off oxygen and nitrogen
molecules in the air. The light with the shortest wavelengths moves
around the most, so blue abounds. But that's only half the story.
Other colors are there, too—at least as much violet light, in
fact, as blue. So why is the sky blue and not purple? Each time we
look up at the sky, the spectrum of colors represented tweaks the
circuitry inside our eyes, causing us to detect instead a mixture of
pure white light and pure blue.

the daytime sky. American Journal of Physics 73:590-597 (July).

Local ovarian cancer support group participates in events
The Nisswa City Council and President Obama have proclaimed September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Several members of the Team Teal of the North ovarian cancer support group represented the Nisswa area and participated in the 13th annual Silent No More Walk Run for ovarian cancer on Sept. 8 at the Rosland Park, Edina.
Also this month, the Team Teal of the North support group of Nisswa/Brainerd will provide information on ovarian cancer at two upcoming events: The 2012 Women's Expo at the Sanford Center in Bemidji on Saturday, Sept. 22, and at The Living Local Arts & Crafts Fair and Women's Expo on Friday, Sept. 28, and Saturday, Sept. 29, at the Hallett Center in Crosby.
The local group also volunteered at the Northland Teal Run for ovarian cancer at the Northland Arboretum in Brainerd in August. This was the first time this event was held in the area and the group plans to do it again next year.

12/15/08 - On Monday, Los Altos High School boys soccer played Monta Vista HS at LAHS. The first half ended with Monta Vista in the lead, the lone visitor goal coming off a well-executed corner play and header shot. In the second half, the Los Altos boys woke up and scored 2 goals - the first off a great crossing pass from Soph. mid-fielder Omri Maor, which the defender played into his own goal. The second goal was a strike by Soph forward Peter Ambiel. Final score 2-1. Los Altos is now 4-2-1 overall in pre-season play.

I have a friend with a couple of hives already established on my farm. The honey is wonderful and I would like to try to manage some bees to supply some more. Since I raise grass (and legumes) and cattle, I think bees would be a good fit in my operation to aid in the pollination of the legumes. I am here to learn all I can before I jump in!

I installed the Balls out tune first and right off the bat is was a lot more powerful than the superchips cortex tune that i previously had. I havent had a chance to test it at the track but I am sure it is gonna blow the compitition away. I have only put about 30 miles on the tune and it takes about 100 miles to fully relearn everything. As far as the way that they treat the customers and the amount of time to recieve the product they get a 10 out of 10 from me. I will be adding more as I further test the product.

Average Length of Program: 7 quarters
Spokane Community College Radiology Technology program (formerly Holy Family Hospital School of Radiologic Technology and
Sacred Heart Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology) has graduated qualified radiologic technologists since 1965.
The Radiology Technology program is full-time and runs for seven continuous quarters, with a new class beginning in
September of each year. Upon successful completion of the program, the student receives an Associate of Applied Science
degree and is then eligible to apply for admission to the National examination administered by the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). A scaled score of 75 or better allows the graduate to use the title "Radiologic
Technologist" and its abbreviation "R.T.(R)" after his or her name. These are the official credentials recognized by the
American Medical Association.
Radiologic Technologists are an integral part of a team of healthcare workers providing patient care. Their primary
duties include producing radiographic examinations that aid the physicians in diagnosing diseases and/or injuries. The
Radiologic Technologist performs examinations at the request of a physician. The student's clinical hours are primarily
days, Monday through Friday; however, the students are required to complete a certain number of evening shifts as
Upon completion and graduation of the program, students are able to take the National Registry examination given
by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
The Radiology Technology program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology
(JRCERT). A copy of the JRCERT standards is posted in the x-ray lab. Any and all alleged areas of non-compliance can
be addressed in writing to:
The radiology technology program does not accept transfer students from other radiology programs. A student wishing
to transfer must complete meet the admission requirements for the program, including the interview process. If accepted
into the program, the student will be required to complete the program in its entirety.
In order for the program to obtain its mission, the Spokane Community College Radiologic Technology program has set
the following goals and learning outcomes:
The following information may be found on file in the program director's office or
radiologic technology student handbook:
Once a student has been accepted into the radiology technology program, (s)he will receive the following:
A radiologic technologist processes detailed images of the bone structure and soft tissue of a human body
appropriate for analyzing and diagnosing, applies appropriate patient care, and recognizes patient conditions
essential for successful completion of the procedure. Diagnostic radiologic technologists employ a range of
sophisticated equipment to produce high quality images to diagnose an injury or disease. They use a range of
modalities including:
The job performance of the radiologic technologist requires certain basic physical and mental abilities.
Challenged persons who are capable of the following technical standards will be considered:
Please see SCC's information for prospective students.
Radiologic technologists can work in various healthcare setting that includes hospitals, clinics, and medical
offices and on mobile units. As a radiologic technologist you will be working with patients of all ages and at
various levels of care, from outpatients to the critically ill.
The philosophy of the Radiologic Technology program at Spokane Community College is to provide the health care community
with qualified and competent Radiologic Technologists whose education is approved by the joint Review Committee on
Education in Radiologic Technology.
Click on the course title to view course description.
Students are expected to attend the program as a full-time student (up to 40 hours per week) for the duration of the
program. Part-time participation is not allowed for any part of the program unless the student is recovering from an injury,
surgery, or post-partum and the physician will allow the student to attend classes and unable to attend clinical. The hours
students will be in clinical are:
All evening shifts are 11:30am – 9:00pm.
The student will complete a total of 1980 hours while in the program. During each quarter the student is required to
complete the following number of clinical hours in order to receive a grade for that clinical course:
Students will not be recommended for writing the A.R.R.T examination, until the required hours of training and didactics
are completed.
Applicants to the radiology program can obtain the 80 hours required on the job if the employee has direct patient contact. Otherwise, the
hours must be obtained as a volunteer. Applicants are required to set up their own volunteer internships. This may be done at any medical
facility where the volunteer would have direct patient contact. Ten of the 80 hours must be completed observing in a radiology department.
It is helpful if the applicant is able to observe a few CAT scans, MRI procedures, and general diagnostic x-rays, such as spine, chest,
and abdomen x-rays. While it is helpful to complete as many hours observing in the radiology department as possible, it is only a small
portion of the volunteer time required. The time spent volunteering helps the applicant become more comfortable with the sights, sounds,
and smells of a medical environment and to become a little more familiar with radiology. If you are wanting to count your hours as an
employee to the required hours and just need to complete the 10 hours, note that it can be very difficult to do. Very few sites will
allow only a 10-hour job shadow.

The reason they owned us is because they outnumbered us in GA. Any parts of the park where people are willing/allowed to yell, purple and gold ruled out. It's hard to bang on the bleachers to drown them out when the majority of the people have their backs against the bleachers muffling it because they are yelling for the other team.
Today's game legitimately ticked me off more than any I've experienced in the past four years. As I've gotten older, I've become a lot better at not getting overly negative, but today pissed me off.
What pisses me off the most, and it really is no contest, is the fact that LSU fans came from Louisiana to College Station and owned the weekend.
Thursday night they were about the same volume overall. Friday about the same, but maybe they were a little louder. Saturday early morning I wasn't there because I graduated at nine, but when I showed up, the section in which I've sat for the past four years had LSU fans from the first row all the way to the top. And they had their way with us this game.
It's embarrassing when people come in and flip your home field advantage. We've talked big game in the past for going to Baylor and always having more fans than them, but these people came from Louisiana. If you're an LSU fan, you should be proud of the way you traveled. If you're an Aggie fan, you should be embarrassed, because today was absolutely pathetic.
The LSU noise was impressive today. Just saying. Sounded like the game was Baton Rouge.
LSU ran a clinic on fan participation that the entire groups of Ags, including (and maybe especially) the older alumni in the reserved seats who seem to just sit at the game with casual interest, need to follow.
LSU owned us. Not cool.
Granted, there were lots of LSU fans there, but when they started the L...S....U chant you forgot we were the home team.
I would be the majority of those fans were from Houston area.
Tex100 - Olsen Field was a loud, hostile venue today when it counted. - for LSU.
I would be the majority of those fans were from Houston area.
You had your normal traveling crew but Houston area fans bought those tickets months ago
I would bet the majority of those fans were from Houston area.
Tex100 - What works against the KStates isn't what will work for the SEC, particularly LSU. There will always be lots of LSU fans at College Station events. Houston has more LSU alumni than New Orleans
but when they started the L...S....U chant you forgot we were the home team.

KPMB Will Design Balsillie School
November 20, 2008 | Market Watch / Wall Street Journal Digital Network
WATERLOO, CANADA, Nov 20, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- The Balsillie School of International Affairs continues to move forward with the selection of Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB) of Toronto as the firm to design its new home. The project will be directed by Bruce Kuwabara, design partner, and Shirley Blumberg, partner-in-charge.
Internationally recognized for its design excellence, KPMB is the recipient of 10 Governor General's Awards, Canada's highest architectural honor. The firm has developed a broad portfolio encompassing academic, civic, corporate, cultural, mixed-use, hospitality and residential projects located across North America and Europe.
"This is an important milestone," says Jim Balsillie, founder of the school and co-CEO of Research In Motion. "The school will be the focal point of collaborative interaction between the two local universities - Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo - and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), creating one dynamic cluster."
The new school, a 65,000 square foot project, is strategically sited adjacent to CIGI and on the only site in Canada bounded by three Governor General Award-winning buildings - the Seagram Museum (current home of CIGI), the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery. The new Balsillie School, with its state of the art teaching spaces and public auditorium, will be a significant addition to this exceptional institutional precinct in Uptown Waterloo.
"KPMB's design will aspire to make the new Balsillie School the fourth Governor General's Award-winning project in Waterloo," says Ms. Blumberg. "Having worked on the original Seagram Museum, it is particularly inspiring to be back reinventing the site as a vibrant campus for the study of international affairs."
Mr. Kuwabara says, "It is incredibly exciting to be selected by the Balsillie School of International Affairs to design an interactive architectural platform for teaching and research that reinforces Canada's role in contributing solutions to world governance challenges."
Dr. Ramesh Thakur was recently appointed the school's first director. The school is currently assembling a critical mass of internationally renowned experts to understand, explain and shape the ideas that will create more effective global governance. The Balsillie School was launched in 2007 with a $100 million donation from Mr. Balsillie and key partners. The gift is the largest single donation to the field of social sciences in Canada.
Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB)
KPMB is one of Canada's most respected architectural practices recognized for design excellence. The firm is the recipient of 10 Governor General's medals, and has developed a broad portfolio encompassing academic, civic, corporate, cultural, mixed-use, hospitality and residential projects located across North America as well as in Europe. In 2005, KPMB was selected Firm of the Year by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and in 2006 Bruce Kuwabara became the recipient of the RAIC Gold Medal, Canada's highest honour bestowed on an individual architect. KPMB's projects in the Kitchener-Waterloo region include the Kitchener City Hall which received a Governor General's Award in 1993. KPMB has been internationally lauded for its institutional work, which includes numerous designs for academic clients. These include Canada's National Ballet School (NBS) (2008 Governor General's Award, 2007 American Institute of Architects Honour Award, and one of five recipients of the 2008 Urban Land Institute Global Design Awards), and the James Stewart Centre for Mathematics at McMaster University (2004 Governor General's Award and 2005 American Institute of Architects Award of Honour). Both NBS and James Stewart Centre were realized under the design leadership of Bruce Kuwabara with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge.
The Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA) is an independent academic institution devoted to the study of international affairs and global governance. The school will assemble a critical mass of extraordinary experts to understand, explain and shape the ideas that will create effective global governance. Through its graduate programs, the school will cultivate an interdisciplinary learning environment that develops knowledge of international issues from the core disciplines of political science, economics, history, and environmental studies and other related disciplines. The Balsillie School was founded in 2007 by Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of RIM (Research In Motion), and is a collaborative partnership between CIGI, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo.
