Hello all-

I hope everyone is dong well.

I didn't realize that we are a bit banged up. Hopefully Plax gets in to draw some double teams and distract the secondary.

I'll be watching the game at a bar around the corner with some friends and the misses, so if I don't get the chance, I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and you and yours are healthy and happy. I'm off to N. Carolina at the crack tomorrow, for turkey day with the in-laws, and I'm not sure when I'll be back here.

Take care all and GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMES, Iowa — Beef feedlot operators and others interested in production topics are invited to attend one of three Beef Feedlot Roundtable locations on Feb. 14. These locations, in Garner, Nashua and Manchester, will be linked to a live meeting in West Point, Neb.
This opportunity for Iowans is provided through a cooperative agreement between Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach and University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Extension to share livestock educational resources and programs. Iowa participants may listen, ask questions of presenters and engage in discussion with the Nebraska attendees through electronic access.
The session features experts from ISU and UNL focusing on animal health and nutrition. ISU's Jan Shearer will talk about digital dermatitis (also known as hair heel wart) and how to manage it in the feedlot. From UNL, Galen Erickson will present research on grain adaptation and roughage in the feedlot diet, and Heather DePra will talk about performance and economic impact of ionophores, implants and beta agonists in feedlots. Presenters from two UNL research facilities also will have updates from those locations.

Chuks Aneke's loan spell with Crewe Alexandra has been further extended, until January 21, subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
The 19-year-old midfielder has established himself as a regular in Steve Davis' side since his arrival in September, showing his versatility with successful stints in behind the main strikers, and more recently in a deeper role in the centre of midfield.
In total, Aneke has featured 19 times so far for the Railwaymen, scoring four goals.
The Newham-born youngster made his first-team debut for Arsenal in the 3-1 League Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town in September 2011. He gained further senior experience with the Gunners over the summer during the pre-season tour of Asia, scoring the winner against a Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Chuks well for his continued stay at the Alexandra Stadium.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The execution of an El Paso man convicted in the 2000 beating death of his girlfriend's 19-month-old son has been delayed for a second time.
Rigoberto Avila Jr., 40, had been scheduled to be put to death next week. His execution was originally scheduled for Dec. 12.
In 2001, Avila was sentenced to death by the same El Paso jury that convicted him in the death of Nicholas Macias, who was fatally beaten while Avila was baby-sitting Nicholas and his sibling on Feb. 29, 2000.
Following a court hearing Tuesday morning, 41st District Judge Anna Perez ruled additional time is necessary to allow Avila's defense attorney, Cathryn Crawford of the Texas Defender Service, to explore possible new evidence of Avila's innocence. Perez also ordered that Avila's execution be rescheduled for July 10.
Perez had originally denied a motion by Crawford last week seeking to delay Avila's execution, but on Monday Crawford asked Perez to reconsider her ruling.
According to an "execution alert" newsletter from the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Crawford, who was appointed to the case in February, has discovered possible evidence that Nicholas might have been injured by a sibling while the two were mimicking wrestling moves.
Officials with the coalition also stated Avila signed the confession after a detective woke him up while he was sleeping and told Avila he needed to sign the second statement because the detective needed to clarify some
information. Avila had assumed "it was essentially the same as the earlier statement, Mr. Avila did not read it, but simply affixed his signature at the end. This statement, which Mr. Avila has consistently said was not true, was used against him at trial."
Crawford couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
According to an objection filed by Assistant District Attorney Tom Darnold in response to Crawford's claims, Avila and his trial attorneys, Matthew DeKoatz and Peter Escobar, didn't fully refute the statement given to police homicide detectives or claim Nicholas' sibling had caused the boy's injuries.
"... Avila did not try to convince the jury that (Nicholas' sibling) caused Nicholas' injuries; rather, Avila merely attempted to repudiate the accuracy and voluntariness of his confession, claiming that he did not read it before signing it," Darnold wrote in the objection.
During Avila's trial, state prosecutors alleged Avila repeatedly kicked and stomped Nicholas, causing injuries so severe that the boy's organs were ripped from his spine. Paramedics also found a bruise on Nicholas' abdomen in the shape of a footprint.
A pediatric surgeon who operated on Nicholas testified he had observed similar injuries to the ones found on Nicholas' abdomen when a person "had jumped out of a vehicle going 60 miles an hour."
Avila, who testified during his trial, denied injuring the boy, but according to his police statement he admitted to stomping on the boy because he was jealous of the attention the boy's mother, Marcelina Macias, was giving the child.
Avila had been baby-sitting Nicholas and the boy's older brother at the time of Nicholas' death, while Marcelina Macias was attending a college class.
Avila is one of nine El Pasoans currently on death row.

DOHA, Qatar – Wednesday 9 January 2013 - Qatar Petroleum (QP), Qatar Airways and Shell today celebrated the first commercial introduction of a new aviation jet fuel – the first to be approved globally in over two decades. The innovative GTL Jet Fuel blended with Synthetic Parafinic Kerosene from the world's largest Gas to Liquids plant - Pearl GTL in Qatar - is now flowing into aeroplane tanks at Doha International Airport.
Qatar's Minister of Energy and Industry, His Excellency Dr. Mohamed bin Saleh Al-Sada, second right, with from left, Chairman of Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority, His Excellency Abdul Aziz Al Noaimi; Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker; and Managing Director and Chairman of Qatar Shell, Wael Sawan addressing a press conference at Doha International Airport, ahead of the departure of Qatar Airways' first commercial flight using Gas-to-Liquids jet fuel from Qatar.
His Excellency Dr. Mohamed bin Saleh Al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry, His Excellency Abdul Aziz Al Noaimi, Chairman of Qatar Civil Aviation Authority, Akbar Al-Baker, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways and Wael Sawan, Managing Director and Chairman of Qatar Shell and Saad Al-Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Tasweeq today attended the inaugural fuelling of a Qatar Airways aircraft with GTL Jet Fuel at the airport.
An Airbus A340-600, flight QR001 will make history by being the first to fly outbound from Doha International Airport, en route to London Heathrow using GTL Jet Fuel.
This is a significant milestone for the giant onshore Pearl GTL complex, which is jointly developed by QP and Shell and is the largest energy project in Qatar. Fully approved for use as an aviation fuel, GTL Jet Fuel is a blend of up to 50% GTL Synthetic Parafinic Kerosene (SPK) meeting the stringent requirements of ASTM-D-7566 and conventional crude oil-derived standard jet fuel (Jet A-1).
A packed press conference attended by media, airline and government officials at Doha International Airport heard about the airline's first commercial GTL flight to London Heathrow operated by Qatar Airways during a press conference in the Qatari capital.
His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada, Qatar's Minister of Energy and Industry and Chairman and Managing Director of Qatar Petroleum said: "The production of GTL Jet Fuel is a great achievement for Pearl GTL and the State of Qatar. GTL Jet Fuel will be supplied into the wider jet fuel pool at Doha International Airport enabling the State of Qatar to enjoy the benefits of this product. It is indeed an historic moment for Qatar that the first aviation fuel to be approved globally in the last 20 years originates in Qatar".
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: "Qatar Airways has long had the foresight to be a leader in the field of environmental stewardship in the aviation sector. This historic Gas-To-Liquids operated flight paves the way for Qatar Airways to contribute to environmental effectiveness when it comes to the day-to-day operations of our business.
Local and international media interview Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker ahead of the departure of the airline's first Gas-to-Liquids commercial flight from Doha to London Heathrow.
"As the world talks and preaches environmentally friendly skies, we at Qatar Airways are setting the bar high for others to follow. We are shifting the goalposts. We are setting an example by doing our part, by committing ourselves to be at the forefront of innovative research," said Al Baker.
Wael Sawan, Managing Director and Chairman of Qatar Shell Company: "The production and sale of GTL Jet Fuel is an important milestone for the QP-Shell partnership and testimony to our continued support for Qatar's position as the GTL capital of the world. Developing petroleum products in Qatar for use in Qatar clearly aligns with the vision of HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani to use the country's resources to drive growth. The operation of Pearl GTL and enabling Qatar Airways to be the first carrier to fly commercially on GTL Jet Fuel is a clear realisation of this vision. This fuel can be safely used for commercial aviation across all legacy aircraft in use across the world as well as the latest models of airframes and engines on the drawing boards today and notably those in Qatar Airways' fast expanding fleet."
VIPs join Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker (fifth left) at the history-making send off of flight QR001, an Airbus A340-600 aircraft, to London Heathrow that used revolutionary new GTL fuel for the first time from Qatar.
Tasweeq, the marketing agent for Qatar Petroleum, for local sales of petroleum products has been instrumental in provisioning the local supply of the GTL fuel in Qatar, and specifically for Qatar Airways' first flight from Doha.
Saad Al Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Taweeq said: "As Qatar's national carrier, Qatar Airways is today making its mark in the aviation industry and we are proud to have supported this important initiative, providing marketing intelligence, local aviation fuel supply and logistics support as a designated marketer for Qatar Petroleum. We look forward to expanding the scope of this GTL fuel to deliver Qatar's energy for all airlines flying to Doha."
This product launch also marks the attainment of the highest stage of the so-called Fuel Readiness Level scale in the rigorous certification and qualification process of Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Parafinic Kerosene blends with conventional Jet A-1 and creates a true 'Drop In' alternative fuel meeting the latest DEF STAN and ASTM international aviation standards.
A Qatar Airways Airbus A340-600 is fuelled with Gas-to-Liquids jet fuel ahead of the departure of flight QR001 from Doha to London Heathrow.
As an alternative to conventional crude oil-derived jet fuel, GTL Jet Fuel can help diversify the aviation fuel supply chain and offers a number of attractive benefits for airlines and airports. The synthetic blend component - GTL kerosene – contains virtually zero Sulphur and has been shown to produce lower particulate emissions (very fine soot particles) than conventional crude oil-derived jet fuel. This means that once blended with conventional jet fuel to create GTL Jet Fuel, it can be attractive to airlines and airport authorities keen to improve local air quality at busy airports by reducing local emissions. GTL kerosene also has a higher energy density than conventional oil-based kerosene. This has the potential to reduce the engine maintenance requirements and the required fuel payload and aircraft may be able to better optimise the weight of fuel to cover the same distance.
GTL Jet Fuel from Pearl GTL plant is marketed by "Tasweeq" for use solely within Qatar. The first production cargo of GTL Jet Fuel left the Pearl GTL Plant on 17 December 2012 and will be first used in this inaugural flight departing Doha International Airport later today.

New York, June 27, 2012-The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns today's conviction of Ethiopian blogger Eskinder Nega on baseless terrorism charges. "The Ethiopian government has once again succeeded in misusing the law to silence critical and independent reporting," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "The charges against Eskinder are baseless and politically motivated in reprisal for his writings. His conviction reiterates that Ethiopia will not hesitate to punish a probing press by imprisoning journalists or pushing them into exile."
Police arrested Eskinder in September 2011 directly after publishing an online article that questioned arrests under the country's sweeping anti-terror legislation. Eskinder is among 11 independent journalists and bloggers that the government of Ethiopia has charged with terrorism since 2011.

Hey all!
Im writing a soundtrack for a 2D platformer set on a derilict space station, the general idea is creepy and eerie, and I was just wondering if any of you guys had any particular favourite soundtracks of that sort. My main point of reference for the pieces ive done so far was bioshock 2, i really like the feel of the solo strings and the atmosphere they create.
If youre interested, below are some links to what ive got so far, none of which are complete yet but they should give an idea as to what im looking for.

Nice place, nice connection to the centre.
Everything was well arranged!
The coffee at the breakfast was very good.
It's a small room, but you have all necessary equipment and wi-fi. The host helped us to find the adreess. Thank you, Cristina, the cafe where we had breakfast was very nice. You can get to the city center by bus or by tram. Trastevere is within a short walk. All in all a good place to stay.
Cristina was very friendly and greeted us to give us the key. Upon our arrival she gave us a map of the area aswell as restaurant recommendations and transport advice. The premises were clean and in an excellent location. Its a 5 minute walk to the train station and you can take the number 8 tram (just pass the train station) which takes you directly to the centre of all the sites you need to see (fontana di trevi etc). The fridge and kitcken facilities were useful for those nights when you didnt want to eat out. Overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend it. Thanks again Cristina
The room was very clean. It was on street level facing the street so it was noisy even with the window closed. Checking in would have been an issue if I did not have a cell phone as there is nothing on the outside to say which unit it is. So it should be clarified. It was nice to have the fridge and hot plate and dishes and not having to eat out all the time. Overall without the noise a good experience.
We stayed over for 2 nights and it was great. Nice room, nice bathroom. Cristina was very welcoming and we were only 10/15mn away from Roma historical center by train and very close to the old Trastevere. We had good time there. Cristina's place recommended.
The appartement is near the tram and bus station. The centre is about fifteen minutes by tram. In Travestere are many bars and romanitc typical Italian streets. The rooms are clean and you get clean towels every two days. We loved Rome and had a great time!
Nice, clean room only a short walking distance from the very central parts of Rome. Christina, the host, is very freindly and welcoming!
We had a very nice stay in Cristina's bed and breakfast, a very nice and clean room, with the household made almost every day. There is also a very useful kitchen, and the breakfast is included in a café very close from the apartment ! The historic center is 30 min walk from the bedroom, or 15 min by the tramway 8. We would recommend staying here !
We had a wonderful stay at Cristina's. The room with private bathroom was close to city centre as it took only a 2 minutes walk to get to the tram 8 which goes directly to the city centre. The neighbourhood is more peaceful than Rome centre and we slept very well.
It was nice that breakfast at the local bar was included. The room was very clean. We would recommend staying here.

Rising Star Award: David Kessler
By Shelley Kilpatrick
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(April 15, 2007)--David Kessler, academic advisor I in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts Advising Center, will be honored with the Rising Star Award, one of five that will be presented at 2 p.m., Tuesday, April 17 at the UTSA Staff Excellence and Service Awards ceremony in the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02), 1604 Campus.

The five Staff Excellence Awards recognize excellent work performance in emerging leadership, dynamic leadership, teamwork, extraordinary initiative and overall excellence.
This year's additional award winners are:
- Leadership Award: Jeanette (Jenny) Stokes, senior administrative associate, Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching
- Team Spirit Award: Office of Travel Management staff members Lupita Reynaga, accounting technician; Perian (Perry) Griner, accounting technician; and Celine Weidner, account clerk III
- Extra Mile Award: Patricia Dunn, educational specialist III, UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures
- Order of the Roadrunner Award: John Soudah, director of academic computing, College of Business and Office of Information Technology
In one of five award spotlights featured on UTSA Today, the Rising Star Award recognizes a staff member with less than three years of continuous service with the university who has made significant contributions to his or her area or to the university community and has demonstrated improvement through cooperation, initiative and a take-charge attitude.
David Kessler
Rising Star Award winner
When David Kessler started at UTSA, he advised psychology majors, and after only two years he learned the details of all the degree programs in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA). He now is the only academic adviser I who can assist students, no matter what their major.
Kessler consistently demonstrates his concern and compassion for students by not only helping them to succeed academically, but also by ensuring they know UTSA is the right choice for them with all the necessary resources to make their student life a positive, life-affirming experience.
He has given presentations, staffed booths and created publications to help represent the COLFA Advising Center to new and prospective students at events such as UTSA Roadrunner Days, UTSA Day and Spring Fling. Because Kessler is always willing to offer his time to help, the staff can count on him to perform these functions each and every year.
Kessler also has taken under his wing a previously invisible segment of UTSA, the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) students. Just one semester after he volunteered to serve as a student adviser for the Alpha Lambda Tau fraternity, the group improved its overall academic standing, removed itself from academic probation and is now among the GPA leaders within the UTSA Interfraternity Council. Kessler also helped establish the UTSA Ally Program, designed to create and maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment for the GLBT student population, and its membership has grown from 15 to nearly 80 members campus-wide.
According to one of his nominators for the award, "In the last few years, I can honestly say David has changed my life and career by exposing me to different facets of UTSA that I, an alumnus, never knew existed. I came from the generation that believed UTSA was just a commuter campus, and I remained in that mindset until he took me under his wing and demonstrated that there is more to the university experience than just going to class, getting good grades and then moving on."
UTSA employees are invited to attend the event hosted by Sonia Martinez, vice president for university advancement; Rosalie Ambrosino, provost and vice president for academic affairs; and Jeffrey Kantor, associate vice president for research. The ceremony also will include remarks by President Ricardo Romo.
Downtown Campus and Institute of Texan Cultures staff members can attend the event utilizing VIA buses 93 or 94 at no charge by showing their UTSACard.
The ceremony will include retiree recognition, service pin awards for 5 to 30 years and refreshments. Twenty-five staff members will be honored on their retirements and 274 staff members will receive UT System service awards for the 2006 calendar year.

[quote user="DavenIII"][quote user="Morehead State"] Deciding who to start is no challenge.[/quote]
you don't take into account who your players are playing against? of course there is challenge in who to start week to week.
[quote user="Morehead State"] the challenge is building your team, monitoring the league and having some imagination on who to pick up and who to drop. It means knowing the schedule, who's got what opponents down the road. Who's got bye's coming up. etc..... You win with preparation, not game time decisions.[/quote]
I would say are both equal, paying attention the day of to see if someone is a late scratch...whether it be your #2 WR for example...or just as important say you have a #2 WR going up against revis so you decide to sit him but that day Revis is scratched....you have time to go in and re-start your #2 guy.
Game day decisions are just as important as your draft over the long run, just like your Free Agent picks are just as important as well, the draft is obviously important, but being able to make decisions week to week and being able to recover from injuries the the free agent market are just as important.
no where near to the degree that we put time into figuring who we want to draft and how is the best way to go about it</P>[/quote] bpa....or justwing it

text: Some budget experts say the contents of this report could provide lawmakers some fiscal cover when they try to abide by the discretionary spending caps they put in place this summer as part of the debt ceiling deal, which capped 2012 spending at $1.043 trillion and 2013 spending at $1.047 trillion. "I look to this report not as saving additional money in the future, but giving policymakers good ideas about sensible places they can look to cut spending to nose themselves under the pretty-tight spending caps they're already imposed on themselves," said Josh Gordon, policy director for The Concord Coalition, a budget watchdog group. "And they're going to need the money…there's only so much you can cut when the government has these basic functions to do."

Digital Pianos: 10 Reasons to go Digital with the Roland RP301R
For a limited period only, Roland are giving customers who register their RP301R digital piano an additional 3-year warranty and a USB stick with 60 sounds!
The RP 301R is the perfect piano for beginners, piano students, families, or if you simply want to have fun playing the piano this is also a great option. Loaded with great features such as a SuperNATURAL sound engine, USB MIDI support, an Auto-off power function and a user-friendly LCD Display, the RP301R has something for every pianist. What's more, the RP301-R is an attractive, fun and affordable digital piano with no compromise on features or sound.
In this post, we explore some of our favourite features in the latest model to join the Roland digital-piano family.
10 Reasons to Go Digital (with the Roland RP301R)
1. No strings and things
What's the benefit of having a digital piano? Unlike an acoustic piano, a digital piano has no strings to worry about. That means you won't have to worry about tuning your piano, temperature changes or aging strings!
2. Digital can be environmentally friendly (honest!)
The RP-301R, like many of Roland's newest digital pianos, has an Auto-off feature. Forgotten to switch your piano off? Not to worry, with the auto-off feature you can determine when you would like the piano to turn off, after 15 minutes of not being used or 2 hours!
The RP301R's environment-conscious design has low power consumption without compromising its powerful sounds (12w under the condition of average use)
3. SuperNATURAL Piano Engine
The SuperNATURAL sound engine brings a new level of authentic sound and natural performance to the digital domain. Developed to give users a more realistic feel, experience and sound, the SuperNATURAL engine ensures a natural decay from key to key, just like you'd find in a very expensive Acoustic Grand Piano
4. 60 built-in rhythms (or 120 if you buy one soon)
Spanning 11 musical genres, the RP301R incorporates 60-built in rhythm accompaniments, which are designed to enrich your musical repertoire and enjoyment.
5. 120 isn't enough? Roland have covered that one too.
With the built-in USB port, you can stream music directly from a USB stick and play along with your favourite WAV audio and SMF song. If 60 built-in accompaniments isn't enough for you, that's fine!
6. Connect to your computer
The RP301R supports USB MIDI, meaning you can now connect to your computer and use the RP301R with music recording software.
7. Intelligent Full-Keyboard Chord Recognition
The full-keyboard chord-recognition engine in the RP301R reacts to the pressing level of the damper pedal. Any chord you play will be recognized, and in real time, allowing the auto accompaniment to follow what you play.
8. Twin Piano Feature
If you're looking to learn, the RP301R's "Twin Piano" feature is designed for side-by-side lessons - you can split the keyboard into two parts (each covers the same octaves) and the damper pedals are also assigned for either side of the keyboard.
9. Lovely to learn with
The LCD display on the RP301R helps you navigate through the three different playing modes: Pianist, Split Chord and Split Tone.
This is also the place to browse through the library, which includes a selection of classical piano etudes, or by song name, tone or rhythm accompaniment.
10. Play day, noon and night - silently or through speakers!
Through its built in speakers, you can play to an audience, or as part as a group ensemble. If you want some private time with the RP301R, the headphone socket allows you to have a silent practice. For play-along fun, the built-in external input lets you connect your audio player!

This is intended to get an idea of how serious medication is to the hobby beekeeper.
In the spring only
In the fall only
In spring and fall (or throughout the year)
This is intended to get an idea of how serious medication is to the hobby beekeeper.
your question is not very clear....
medicate for what?
in my view medicate means an antibiotic for AFB and nosema
treatments are not medicine and are used for mites
I should have been more clear.
By medicate, I mean add anything to the hive other than sugar water.
I will post a follow up poll with a list of specific medications.
My goal is to first find out in people generally add anything but food to the hive, and when.
My secondary goal, in another pole, will be to determine what medications people are finding most useful.

Is powdered sugar a medication?
I figure sugar water, syrup, and powdered sugar to be feeding rather than medicating. Unless, of course, meds are being added to it =]
the powdered sugar is used to cause mites to fall off the bees, or it is used to promote the hygenic behavior which causes bees to remove mites.people consider it an alternative to medicating,or something to try first.i dont currently medicate or treat for anything,but its because i have been to busy to be resposible.i will have an ipm this year and if i have a problem i will do what i have to.
I'm pretty new to this, so maybe I should be quiet here, but plan from last year was: Treat the new packages with fumagilin just in case (bees were shipped in from California, so they were pretty stressed). Scraped drone comb a couple of times over the summer, and treated with Apiguard in the fall. I have three hives, and they're all still kicking, even the really weak hive. hopefully they make it through the next couple of weeks until spring arrives-
I'm pondering a spring dose of apiguard, but don't really want to. I guess once spring is here I'll do the sugar dusting thing and evaluate my mite load. If it doesn't look too bad, I'll just stick to the drone comb routine and hit them with apiguard in the fall.
I saw that the poll was limited to noncommercial beekeepers, so I didn't vote. But looking at the results I saw that there were 42 voters. All noncommercial? Pretty good response, I think.
Mark Berninghausen
I voted never, but....that means never for varroa but if I find a hive with a trace of foulbrood I medicate once or twice with terramycin patties.
True. I wanted to focus the poll on hobby beekeepers as I realize there are things in commercial beekeeping that require protection on investment. Due to the potential financial loss, I figured commercial answers would skew the results a little.
As a comm. beekeeper. I use terramycin twice in the spring and then again in the fall. Thats it. But I don't winter my bees.
What if you only medicate when your monitoring indicates it's necessary? Routine medication regardless of colony health is a practice IMO whose days are limited.
Bees, brews and fun
in Lyons, CO
I got my nucs last May, so I am still in my first year. I didn't have intentions of using any meds, but if there are any problems that requrie them I will consider it if there are no other solutions. I'm still learning
Now if formic acid pads for mites is considered meds then, YES.
If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. If you build it, they will fill it.
I Treat all 10 hives for Nosema with Fumagillin in the spring and fall wether I see signs of its need or not. There are always signs in the spring. I also put a pad of MiteAway II on each hive in the fall. All my hives are SBB with slatted racks and all the venting tricks you can mention. I haven't lost a hive yet.

Laws Governing Employment Eligibility in the United States
As an international student, the type of visa you hold will directly affect the employment eligibility options you have in the U.S. You need to determine your visa type and understand what employment options or restrictions apply to you. U.S. Immigration Law, not University policy, determines employment eligibility.
Most international students hold either F-1 (student) or J-1 (exchange visitor) visas in the U.S. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) permits students in both categories to be employed if the work is related to their field of study. In special circumstances, the USCIS grants work authorization due to unforeseen economic hardship. Both types of employment are explained below. Eligible students need not change their visa category to accept these types of employment.
Questions regarding visas and employment eligibility should be directed to the International Student & Scholar Services Office (ISSS)
F-1 Employment Options
Practical Training:
Practical Training is defined as employment related to the student's field of study.
International Student and Scholar Services resources on Practical Training.
Such employment may be performed prior to or after completion of studies and may be part or full-time. There are two categories of practical training: Curricular and Optional.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
CPT is employment that is considered an integral part of the student's academic program. Curricular Practical Training can be full or part-time and the student must maintain full-time registration while on CPT. More information on Curricular Practical Training.
Optional Practical Training (OPT)
OPT is also employment related to a student's field of study but unlike Curricular Practical Training, this type of practical training may be done either during the student's academic program or after completion of studies. OPT prior to completion of studies is limited to part-time during the academic year although it can be full-time during vacation and holiday periods. Graduate students who have finished all coursework and are completing thesis or dissertation research may apply for full-time practical training during the academic year. Students are eligible for up to twelve months of OPT. For more information on Optional Practical Training.
Work Authorization Based on Economic Hardship
If a student experiences unforeseen economic hardship, he or she may apply to the USCIS for permission to work for any off-campus employer. Students must be currently enrolled at Binghamton University for this kind of work authorization; employment is limited to 20 hours per week when school is in session but can be full-time during vacation and holiday periods. Such employment authorization is usually valid for up to one year and may be renewed if the student has not graduated and can demonstrate continued financial necessity.
J-1 Employment Options
Code of Federal Regulations governing J-1 employment
For Students - Interpretation of the Code of Federal Regulations governing J-1 employment
Academic Training
Academic training is employment related to the student's academic program and can be done before of after completion of studies. Students are eligible for 18 months of academic training or the time that the student has been enrolled full-time, whichever is shorter. Students who engage in postdoctoral training are eligible for 36 months of academic training. More information on J-1 Academic Training.
Work authorization based on economic hardship
If the student experiences unforeseen economic hardship that has arisen after his/her arrival in the United States, he/she may apply for off-campus work authorization that is valid for any employer. This type of work authorization is limited to 20 hours/week while school is in session but may be full-time during vacation and holiday periods.
Long-term Employment Options
Federal regulations require that practical training or academic training end at the conclusion of the authorized period. However, a student in F-1 status (or a student in J-1 status who is not subject to a two-year physical presence requirement) may continue to be employed, provided that a petition and change of status application are filed with and approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. Such a petition is usually filed for H-1B (Temporary Worker) status. The H-1B status is valid for up to six years, and is intended for professional employment. The application process can take several months, and legal assistance with the filing of the application may be helpful. For more information on H-1B visas. IMPORTANT REMINDER--Always contact Binghamton University's International Student and Scholars Services office to clarify your employment eligibility in the U.S. Understanding your employment options will help you make sound decisions as you implement your job search. This understanding will also enable you to successfully explain, during your interview, how you will be able to obtain work authorization in the U.S. to the employer with whom you are interviewing.

Lyme disease symposium set July 11 at rural Brainerd church
Joe Ailts from NeuroScience, Inc. will provide a presentation on Lyme disease at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 11, at Church of the Nazarene north of Brainerd.
Ailts will look at how and why conventional Lyme disease lab tests do not provide 100 percent accuracy and will introduce a new lab technology that can provide more reliable answers to doctors and patients who may be suffering from Lyme.
This presentation is free to everyone. The church is at 16549 Johnson Road N., Brainerd (on north Highway 371 and Johnson Road).
Lyme disease rates are growing to epidemic proportions. Many common lab tests doctors use to confirm Lyme are not 100 percent accurate. The most frequently used test, called the Lyme western blot, can miss 40-50 percent of patients who actually have Lyme.
Scientific research in the realm of Lyme disease testing has resulted in a new type of testing technology that significantly increases the accuracy of Lyme testing. Looking at a unique aspect of the way the body's immune system reacts to Lyme infection, the new technology holds promise for greater diagnostic accuracy.

You can do basically two operations with QR Droid: Scan and create QR codes.
Scan any QR code from your camera, read from a image saved in your SD, scan from a Internet URL or from your browsing history. The camera scanner works properly and brings you quickly to the QR code content. Especially useful to get links to the Android market to download apps.
Create QR code containing contact info, URL, phone number, calendar date, notes, current location or sms. But what we found especially useful is the creation of QR code for app, in order to share them easily. You may also create QR codes from your computer from http://qrdroid.com/generate and keep them into your Android. You can choose the color of the QR Code you're generating. You cannot generate QR from images though.
QR Droid icon-based interface is easy to understand. The camera reads really fast the codes and the app shows its content quick and properly. It allows you to share your QR code in all the ways integrated in your phone (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc). What's more, if you use to create a specific kind of QR code, you can place a shortcut of it in the desktop screen. QR Droid is available in more than 20 languages.
QR Droid has been developed by DroidLa an emergeing developing company focused on QR apps. QR Droid has become its main success.
Despite more type of QR code could be generated, QR Droid is one of the best tools to create and scan QRs. It does what it has meant to be. For that reason, we truly recommend it.

I've read through most of this thread, and I think everyone brings up very valid points that I agree with "both sides". However, this question asked to Cruz was clearly trying to set him up to give a controversial answer or stir the pot. My personal opinion is I wish he would've just given a simple "I am happy to be a New York Giant" but what he said wasn't bad...just poorly worded I think. Maybe Eli can give him some lessons in answering the media.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
I haven't read any posts,I'm too late to this party so forgive me if this has already been said but uhhhhh he definitely took the hometown discount and is absolutely underpaid. NYG got him at a steal. I don't think that's a surprise to anyone. He probably shouldn't say what he did and I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to Osi Part II. End of the day he took a $10 million dollar discount and will make that up with endorsements by being in a big market and by being happy being close to home and not living in Kansas City. That would suck.
I think the contract was more than fair. He's being paid Top 20 money now. Is he a Top 20 player????.....maybe, but there are a ton of great players in the league.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
anyone know how to this clown he went from a fan favorite to just a body that we hope catches the ball and scores as he is paid to do?
Oh god enough! He made an irrational statement on twitter. The guy is a football player give it a break. I'm sick of people acting like the guy is a politician or something of that status.

text: I'm on the fence between getting an AWD Traverse (it's more practical most of the time) and a Crew Cab Silverado (when we need it, having a truck can't be beat). One of the issues we're having is that we plan to start camping more and I'm on the hunt for a travel trailer that I can tow, maybe up to about 200 miles each way a few times per year. The Traverse that I'm looking at is AWD and has a stated towing capacity of 5,200 lbs ... so I assume we could find a trailer that's up to about 3,800 - 4,000 lbs dry we would be ok. FIRST Question: Anyone have experince towing with a Chevy Traverse (or GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave or other vehicle based on this platform?) SECOND Question: What type of trailer would be good to tow behind one of these vehicles?

(I forgot too. Luckily my DVR remembered, though. )
You know, after re-watching Suzuki's FS (on a proper TV this time, not a crappy livestream that constantly keeps freezing), it was a solid performance, but I hardly thought she blew the roof off. It will be interesting once they show Osmond to see whether the higher program components were truly justified (and put this debate to rest once and for all)
Interesting. Tara is really good about noting URs. And the only one she noted in Murakami's FS is the second Loop. Though she didn't question her score either.
I'm not getting figureskating---it's been edged aside by hurricane updates. We're about to get slammed here in the NE.
Tara really likes Kaetlyn's energy and didn't question her score. Seeing it on TV, she does have a lot of energy and bravado, which could have prompted the higher PCS. (I bet its pretty dynamic in person). Still think Akiko was underscored due to having a more subtle program (I.e. similar to Kozuka at Skate America) and that she should have won the whole thing, but I think it's more poor judging then any sort of home cooking.
They seem to have pre-empted the whole thing for storm coverage. I can't blame them; they want everyone to be informed while there's time to be prepared. Nevertheless, phooey! Thanks for feeding us updates of the skating, Mrs. P. and anyone else here who supplies details.
By the way, I'm so glad to hear that Tara is doing a good job with her commentary. I was really distressed about her during those years when she didn't seem to be accomplishing anything of public significance. (Not that it's any of my business, but I felt that she was smart and accomplished and seemed to have potential for more than teenaged stardom.) She seems to have a pleasing vocal and onscreen presence, and she seems to be perceptive and well-informed. Good for her!

All that said, I do like Kaetlyn. She seems like a real down to earth girl. She was quite classy and humble in her post-competition interview; that tells me she has a good head on her shoulders.
And while I don't agree with the result, I think she should be happy with her debut and look forward to seeing what she does this season.
My firstpro kate statement here- I love her on puter or tv. She is a dancer-so expressive. That said Akiko is consistently wonderful. I think Akiko's LP is a masterpiece and I loved her sp too. It must have been super close or should be. Not being a cop wonk I cannot say, but I am thrilled for her...right now we are getting weather updates too. Does not look good/
Um I won't lie, the crotch grabbing in V/M's FD is a bit more obvious on tv...
But this program is going to be great with some tweaking! So glad to see both teams doing interesting things! Still don't care for the lifts...

Kingsport officer cleared in standoff shooting
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The Kingsport police officer who shot Jeffrey Caldwell during a standoff in June has been cleared.
On Tuesday the grand jury found that Officer Joe Valentine used appropriate legal force when he shot Caldwell on June 11 while he was holding a roof tile.
Kingsport police say the 25-year-old created a threatening situation on the roof of a Watauga Street home when they came to serve a warrant back in June. During a standoff that lasted hours, police say Caldwell made repeated detailed threats to harm both the officers and himself.
"He did have a roof shingle, but he fashioned it in such a way and carried it in such a manner [that it was threatening] under the circumstances. In what he said, and the lighting, the officer reasonably and honestly believed that he had a weapon, was pointing it, and was about to fire it at him," said District Attorney Barry Staubus.
The grand jury also indicted Caldwell for assault against the officer during the incident. He's still in the Sullivan County jai without bond.

SAN FRANCISCO'S Legion of Honor Museum has displayed everything from the Dead Sea Scrolls to Art Deco furniture from England, but its devotion to French paintings has endured through the decades since it opened 90 years ago.
No wonder. The building overlooking the Golden Gate is modeled after the 18th-century Palais de la Legion d'Honneur in Paris. Its founder and benefactor, Alma de Bretteville Spreckles, was the daughter of Danish immigrant farmers, but her father claimed distant lineage to French aristocracy.
On a more somber note, when the museum opened in 1924 it was dedicated to the 3,600 California men who lost their lives on the battlefields of France during World War I.
An exhibit of 68 paintings from the National Gallery of Art in Washington extends the Legion's tradition and explores some hidden corners of French painting in the 19th century. You only thought you'd seen it all — especially the Impressionist images — from art textbooks and glossy calendars, museum-shop scarves and umbrellas.
The exhibit offers familiar names — Renoir, Cézanne, Degas, Manet — but on a smaller scale. The largest paintings are about 24 by 29 inches in size; most are far smaller, down to 5 by 9 inches. One, by Georges Seurat, is a little study for his massive pointillist painting, "La Grande Jatte."
These paintings were collected and donated to the National Gallery primarily by Ailsa Mellon Bruce, daughter of the gallery's founder, banker Andrew Mellon. Another gallery benefactor of the era, Chester Dale, scoffed that small paintings in general were "not of museum quality." Fortunately Mrs. Bruce took no heed.
The exhibit — on tour while the National Gallery refurbishes the paintings' usual setting — has been dubbed "Intimate Impressionism." That's a fuzzy definition, since only eight of the 21 painters are commonly listed as Impressionists, and "small" doesn't necessarily mean "intimate."
Still, there are discoveries for all sorts of visitors to the Legion, whether well-versed in the development of French painting or not. It's like a scholarly ramble through eight galleries, from the 1860s through the 1890s.
One gallery is devoted to Renoir, one to the development of Impressionism, and another features the most distinctive of these painters, moody and modern-looking Édouard Vuillard.
For a final flourish, there's a room filled with Pierre Bonnard's dazzling color, from his Japanese-inspired composition of flags on Bastille Day to the effusive, sun-dappled "Table Set in a Garden." That's the kind of appealing scene that leads a viewer to respond, "I want to be right there, right now." For many museum-goers, that's the essence of Impressionism.
If these relatively small paintings lack the ambition — and the fame — of the artists' larger-scale works, they still disclose mastery or color, composition and often emotion.
Auguste Renoir's "Madame Henriot" (circa 1876) glows with youthful appeal; Henriette Henriot was one of Renoir's favorite models, about 18 at the time and an aspiring actress. Renoir's "The Vintagers" (1879) is dreamlike, almost disorienting, in its sweep of landscape.
Paul Gauguin's sly "Self-Portrait Dedicated to Carrière" (1888 or 1889) finds him in a Breton-style sweater, the orange, red and green of the knit reflected in his face.
Vincent van Gogh's "Flower Beds in Holland" (c. 1883), not often seen or reproduced, is a panorama of tightly structured, colorful blooms against a background that still looks gloomy and wintry.
Edouard Manet is represented by the almost miniature "At the Races" (c. 1875) but also by "A King Charles Spaniel" (c. 1866), a delightful portrait of a dog with a face as expressive as any human model in this collection.
Paul Cézanne's "Still Life With Milk Jug and Fruit" (c. 1900) and even his little "Three Pears" (1878/1879) reveal his stunning experiments in composition and his influence on so many artists in decades to come.
Paintings by lesser-known artists are among the most memorable. Among them: Jean-Louis Forain's "Behind the Scenes" (c. 1880), a taut composition depicting a ballet dancer and what looks to be an "admirer"; and Antoine Vollon's "Mound of Butter" (1875/1885), with color and texture that threaten to spill off canvas.
If the path through the galleries feels like a stream of sparkling light and vivid color, Édouard Vuillard brings the tour to an abrupt halt.
Not really one of the Impressionists (he lived from 1868 to 1940), Vuillard's signature images are simplified (in composition and color) and emotionally powerful. His figures, often family members, sometimes disappear into patterns of fabric and wallpaper. At other times, they cry out from the canvas — and out of the 19th century — as if they were characters in one of August Strindberg's unsettling plays.
What: "Intimate Impressionism from the National Gallery of Art"
When: Through Aug. 3; 9:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays
Where: Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement Street, San Francisco
Admission: $17 to $24

DIY: The R2D2 Heels You've Been Looking For
Following in the same concept as his infamous Dinosaur Heels, Instructable's member mikeasaurus transforms ordinary white heels into everyone's favorite Astromech. Known for modifying and piecing together everyday items into new and awesome things, these heels are definitely the droids you've been looking for .
After removing the heel, he then replaced it with a steel bolt to provide strength and support, attached a R2D2 toy to cover the heel bolt and decorated the toe with lenses and blue accents made from craft foam. He even added a working blinking red LED to mimic R2′s. His tutorial does require the use of some power tools: MIG welder, soldering iron, propane torch, rotary tool, electric drill so when your all done you'll feel like you actually built a Droid.

GRRRRRRR steaks!!
I must be the cruddest cook in the world! I cannot seem to get a steak right. When doing in a pan/griddle I've gone from overcooking it in 3 minutes flat to still being there getting rid of pints of blood after 15 minutes, both identical in thicknesses! Trying griddle with no oil to a pan with butter etc. I've tried the softness test, used a food thermoometer, none of it works! 140 degress is meant to rare or medium, when I put the thermo into the middle it doesnt even go past 120! Then I cut steak open and it's overdone!!!!!!! Duff thermometer or duff user???
Anyway this time I decide to go down the marinade route and soaked the steak for half hour in oil, crushed garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper etc. I later discover that all you taste is garlic. When using garlic in a marinade I see no point using ANYTHING else whatsoever because garlic is ALL you can taste!
Anyway I then read it's best to sear for 2 mins in a pan then put pan in oven for 5 mins or so. First off the oven temperature is meant to be 500F, a setting we don't even effing well have on most ovens! Secondly, I tried this method, pan in oven first, get out onto hob to sear steak. This took more like 25 second per side not 2 minutes!! Then into oven on around 220c because I also had wedges cooking. After so long is when I have this thermometer problem constantly reading 120c and no more and the steak is like 15cm thick tops!! (Thermo also tested in hot water worked fine upto 160 or so). Turns out it's way overdone and now tough as old boots. GOD HOW DO U GET THIS RIGHT?!??!!??!

Re: GRRRRRRR steaks!!
Hmmm ... Now bear in mind you have a vegetarian telling to how I cook steak for my family ( if nothing else it makes a good story !)
* get the steak you are going to cook to room temperature before you start to cook it .
* oil the steak ( and not the pan ! ) you don't need to marinade it in oil , just dribble a little oil over steak and rub all over the steak.
* pan should be hot , I use a griddle pan and get it 'smoking' hot .
The steak gives a sizzle as it hits the pan . I then turn the heat down just a fraction , hardly at all , just enough to maintain a steady heat of the metal the pan is made from.
*I don't move the steak at all for a while , to start with it sticks a little to the pan but when it's ready to move you will find that it has become unstuck and it easy to lift and turn .
*I turn then steak , but leave it cooking on the same side.
* after a short while I then turn the steak over .
And I repeat the process .
* to tell if the steak is cooked ...
:Take your forefinger and press it against your forehead , that is what a well done steak feels like if you press it in the centre .
:Take your forefinger and press it against the cernter of your chin , that is what a medium steak feels like if you press it in the centre .
: Take your forefinger and press it against your cheek , that is what a rare steak feels like if you press it in the centre.
Next really important stage is to rest the steak for a few minutes , this relaxes the meat fibers and allow some reabsorbtion of the meat juices.
This will also stop the bloods running over the plate .
When steaks cook , they need room around them otherwise they start to steam with the juices that can't evaporate in the pan , so don't be tempted to fill the pan and cook all steaks at one go.
I season the steak with a little pepper after I have turned it over do I season the side that had already been cooked . If I am to add salt that's done at almost the end of cooking.
When choosing steak , make sure you get one with a marbling of fine veins of fat running through it , that way the steak will be tastier and moist.
I never marinade a steak but may add a sauce to the plate at the end .
Hope this helps .. Other people have different methods of cooking steak but this is what I do for my family and it works every time.

Re: GRRRRRRR steaks!!
mummz those testing forefingers got me thinking about face creams...dont ask me why that is a whole new method to me so please excuse...
I agree with mummz when the steak has to be at room temperature, at least 1 or 2 hours.
I add a little oil and butter to a hot pan..butter for the taste and oil so that the butter doesnt burn.
Pepper the two sides of the steak, no salt. Put it onto the pan, if it doesn't sizzle its because the pan is not hot enough so take it back out until the pan is ready.
Once the meat placed in the pan, flatten it down and dont move it so that the juices caramelize and form. Too often, we tend to want to move the meat and it is often an error.
Wait 2 to 4 mins until one side is brown and then turn it over, at this stage you can salt the browned meat a little.
Do the same with the other side and spoon over the juices from the pan so that the meat wont dry.
When the second side is browned, turn again to heat through.
Take the steak out of the pan and cover it in cooking foil to rest and also until the blood leaves all the fibers...a trick for me as i like steak medium (pink) but not bloody.
Otherwise it can be served directly with all the juices from the pan.
If the meat is very thick, do the same thing, then finish cooking at lower heat so that heat reaches the center of your piece of meat. Turn when half cooked. Cover with the juices more regularly otherwise the steak will be a lot dryer.
Test it with a knife, if its still pink its edible. If not you'll have a new pair of shoe soles.
As mummz says, make sure that you choose the meat with 'marbling of fine veins of fat running through it , that way the steak will be tastier and moist'.
Good luck

Re: GRRRRRRR steaks!!
first a few questions..
did you really mean 15 cm thick or was it 15mm?....
15 cm is getting into roast territory certainly challenging to do with the method you described.
what exact cut of beef are you using? This will have a great impact on how tender it is and how it tastes.
what kind of thermo are you using? Some can take upwards of 40 to 50 secs to get an acurate reading .
there are different thoughts about salting.
Personally I like to aggresively salt immediately before the meat goes into the pan. It helps with crust formation . The caveat to this is that you need to cook the steak no more than 3 mins max after you have salted it or alternately let it rest for at least 45 mins after being salted . The rest will let the juices that the salt pulled out become reabsorbed into the meat taking the salt quite deep into the fibers as compared to surface seasoning. This will give you a seasoned but not perceptably salty steak. I have tried salting after cooking or when mostly cooked and the flavour has a more pure salt taste than salting before .
I have been converted to the flip often philosophy. This is after the initial wait til the steak releases naturally from the pan of course. Again this is about crust formation ,evenness of cooking and keeping the juices more even thoughout the entire steak.
Unless you answer ,I can't really give specific advice on technique without knowing the steak cut , thickness and just what kind of pan you are using. Cast Iron or a heavy duty stainless would be my preferred choice if you don't have access to a bbq grill.

Re: GRRRRRRR steaks!!
A nice cut to try is New York Strip. They are usually fairly even in size and always good. I prefer using the barbecue with wood smoke and lid down.
I usually err toward cooking medium when I am trying for medium rare for MrP. I don't bother letting the meat come to room temperature. It may be that cooking from cold is a benefit in my case.
When cooking a very thick steak, I preheat the oven to the hottest temperature and place the seared steak in for just a few minutes, maybe 4 - 6 minutes, depending on the size. Presence of bone, fat content, thickness and cut make a difference in cooking times, so keep an eye on it. It's not a big tragedy if you cut a tiny slit into the center and find it too bloody and put it back on. It's much better than overcooking it.

Re: GRRRRRRR steaks!!
You've gotten some good tips. The key to cooking steak is searing it correctly, cooking it evenly on both sides and then letting it rest.
Make sure that you've chosen a cut of meat that is specifically for steak. The absolute favorite for chefs is the ribeye cut. It remains tender even if you over cook it.
Tip: Make sure the steak is at room temperature and the surface is very dry. I do this by allowing the steak to rest nestled in paper towels for about 30 minutes before I cook it. A dry surface ensures a nice crust.
Tip: Marinades are ok, but make sure there is no salt in the marinade. Salt draws out the moisture.
Tip: Use a dry rub instead, I like to make a little paste with salt/pepper/garlic/dried herbs/paprika sometimes and a touch of olive oil. But I suggest only salt/pepper for the first time you do it since you're very sensitive to overwhelming flavors.
Tip: Heat up your pan until smoking. Add a touch of oil and put the steak in. Don't move it around. Do not poke it or prod it with a fork, that just releases the juices you're trying so hard to contain. Leave it alone for 2 minutes. Turn it over and do the same.
Tip: To check for doneness do not insert a thermometer. Check it with your finger using mummza's method or mine: Poke the soft cushy skin in your palm under the thumb. That's what rare feels like. Now touch your thumb and forefinger and touch that same cushy part. That's what medium rare feels like. Now touch your thumb to your middle finger, that's what medium feels like. Touch your thumb to your ringer finger, that's medium well and then your pinky is well done.
Tip: If you haven't seasoned your steak with anything other than salt/pepper, now is the time you can add a compound butter. Turn off the heat and add a pat of the butter ontop of your steak and let it melt. My favorite is compound butter made with roasted garlic, parsley and scallion.
Tip: Transfer to a plate (using tongs, not a fork) and cover with foil for five minutes. Then you can eat it.

text: Hello Everyone, I have a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe - Z71 package. I've never had any problems with the truck at all. However, after going through the car wash recently (hand wash, NOT the one that beats your vehicle to death) I noticed several "specks" on the painted front bumber. On closer examination, the specks turned out to be "rust spots". I don't know if the "missing paint" that led to the rust forming was from rock chips or what. There aren't any dents in the bumper. Right now there are only six or eight of these very small "specks". I don't want the whole bumber to rust off!!!! Has anyone else run into a similar issue? How should I go about getting it repaired? Is there still a paint warranty for the paint on my 2004 SUV? Thanks, Steve
