[QUOTE=Adam Foster Collins;863813]
Karla, you're saying every 7 days. So when is the range of dates you would be on that schedule? When would you begin to worry in the spring, and when would you begin to worry less about them swarming? Just trying to get a sense of what kind of work a full yard of nucs could be.
you have 16 days for the new queen to emerge- so looking every 2 weeks in theory should be enough. I say looking every 7 days because I am not always adept at seeing that egg or larvae housed in the queen cup until that cup is bigger and more clearly a queen cell- so that is potentially 3 days right there I miss at a minimum... and the cell is capped at 9, and they swarm early, so I came up with 7 days being the schedule I need to aim for if I can.
I figure we are about 1 month ahead of you more or less. April 1st is generally when swarming starts. Later April more average. We seldom have strong Fall flow so I don't worry much about later swarms, although they do happen.

Binghamton University hosts the 32nd annual Poetry and the Children Day
BINGHAMTON, NY -- More than 400 students from 33 schools and 12 school districts will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 20, in the Osterhout Concert Theater of the Anderson Center at Binghamton University for the 31st annual Poetry and the Children Day. After the opening presentation, students will present their poems at 11 a.m. in the Lecture Hall.
The program, which brings students together for a day of poetry readings, was established as a memorial to Robert Pawlikowski. A published poet, creative writing instructor and campus administrative assistant, Pawlikowski drowned in 1975 while on vacation with his family. The event is a tribute to the efforts that Pawlikowski made during his lifetime in nurturing the expressive and intellectual powers of his students as well as those of his own children.
This year's guest poet is Joe Weil, a member of the Binghamton University English department. He has conducted workshops at all grade levels for teachers and students in and around the tri-state area. Weil has been a poet-in-residence at Union County College and Solomon Schecter Grade School, the school system of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. He is also a recipient of a three-year federal grant to work with at-risk children in Paterson, New Jersey.
Weil has authored three books of poetry, most recently, The Pursuit of Happiness and has two new books of poetry forthcoming from Texas Review Press and Night Shade Press. His work has been widely anthologized, most recently in "Poets of New Jersey from Colonial to Contemporary." He has shared featured readings with such nationally known poets as Gerald Stern, Philip Levine and Allen Ginsberg.
Partially underwritten by the Oakdale Mall and Susan Clark-Johnson, an anthology is prepared by the Office of the Dean of Harpur College and distributed to teachers and local libraries. Clark-Johnson is a 1967 Binghamton University graduate and former publisher of the Binghamton Evening Press, the predecessor to the Binghamton Press & Sun- Bulletin.

Nick. B:Start a pure market anarchist organisation.
Just start a business. Hire people. Run your business in the most Austrian/Free Market manner possible. And make sure you're successful, because if you fail, that hurts the cause.
Nick. B:I mean when do we get organised and start fighting for our freedom?!
Don't wait. Be the change you want to see.

Can't help but think that's the very best way to support any free-market viewpoint. Show people the market gets you from A to B.
There's a trend (at least where I live) in thinking that young people are not politically conscious enough, and in trying to encourage political activism. That's all well and good, but it encourages the use of the political method to accomplish things rather than individual initiative and enterprise. That's a strike against libertarianism right off the bat.
Nick Ricci:Can't help but think that's the very best way to support any free-market viewpoint. Show people the market gets you from A to B.
And it can be a fairly honest way to live as well. Walk the walk so to speak.
When I study I use pieces of paper as a place markers. When I gave
books back to the Uni library they I always left the markers in. I
realised this could be an advertising opportunity. I made up on MS
publisher 12 cards (about 5.5 by 7.5) and a few bookmarks. With
Mises.org, the Mises coat of arms and a short description(free
student economic resources ect.) As well a few Adam Smith Institute
ones for variety. The opportunities for placement(both strategic such
as in the the road to serfdom and the Mises section of economic
dictionaries, and random places like billboards and sociology
books)mean I have had to produce more consistently since.
I don't know whether Its done any good at all but It doesn't
require that much effort, (although if you don't have a guillotine it
can be a drag cutting them out one at a time) and it can hardly hurt
the cause.
At my school I think that putting up posters would be a great way to start. They're up everywhere and they can grab attention. The problem is that I haven't really found any that I felt were worth putting up yet. Are there any more sites that have posters that I can print up and post?
Yes, I am a huge Dodgers fan.

It is odd that a school administrator would choose that case as the basis for restricting article and flyer distibution. Morse v. Frederick deals with specifically with speech promoting illegal drug use, and only such speech.
faber est suae quisque fortunae
This is a great thread; what I've been looking for. This is a great site for learning but I'd like to see some action also. Yes I have all the degrees, but this only means I'm a good student. Far more important I have political experience. Not big time at all, but I've been both elected and appointed.
All the ideas here are good, and some are great.But from reading it I get the impression that most of the bloggers are students, either in college or high school. So it's important to remember that most people are not in those age groups and different age groups have different interests. So let's plan for different age groups.
Next remember that most people don't enjoy focused learning; after they leave school they do as little of it as possible. Most people find thinking to be hard work.
Third is a very important piece of political knowledge. "10% of the people in any group do all the work." This is always true and often it's less than 10%. It works in any group. I even tried it out in graduate school and post grad and it works there just as well. In organizations take the 10% that do anything and put them together in a group, and the rule still holds true. 10% of that group will end up doing everything. This means that finding people who will do anything at all is very important. Even if they will only talk to others about it.
Most of the suggestions here are great for students. By 25 or earlier the vast majority of people have stopped thinking. They're focusing on their children, careers or jobs, and money. By 45 people are at the peak of their careers or jobs and are thinking about money. By 55 or 60 they're thinking alot about retirement and their infinancial situaion in reitrement. By 65 or 70 they're retired and now have time to think, read, volunteer or just relax. So a national campaign should include all these ages and interest points. Most people still vote, especially older ones and the young. People 45 and older typically do not access facebook, youtube or twitter, and a smaller % use email or forums.
So money is a common concern. i think information on money, today in this deflation, would be of considerable interest to a large portion of people. But definately not theory. Most people's idea of money is that they work and get paid, and the money they earn is theirs except for taxes and fees. How about discussing with them how the Federal Reserve and our government is stealing our money every day, every minute, and we don't even know about it. They kept it a secret. This is already one of their deepest interest points and will always get their attention. There are many, many ways to explain this. It's best not to get too involved or into too much detail, but that depends upon the level of interest. Do they know the Federal Reserve Banks are private, and the majority ownerss are the wealthist families in our history? The simplest way I can think of is the Fed.'s 2% annual inflation (compounded annually), which means that every 20 years the money you earned or saved or invested is worth only half as much. A more involved point is that of the 6% the Fed. charges for creating and managing their loans, they keep 2% profit for their private banks. That's 2% of all loans in existance at any given year. In fact, we don't even have any 'money'. What we have is IOU's from the Fed. for the labor and investments we hope to make in the future.
If you can expalin in the smplest terms that our government is stealing their money, people will become very interested, even angry. That's what you want. But then they will say,"but what can we do"? Answer - vote for a libertarian, constitutionalist, independent, etc.
Also be very careful not to use emotional words - activist, conversative, liberal, Democrats, Republicans, neo-cons, etc. I think it better not even to talk about democracy, economics, or any other broader subjects. Wait until you've got their interest fixed and built some trust. Stay simple.
I've given a lot of thought to how a community (town, village, city, state) could, on its own, create and use only sound money. I still can't see any way to do it without doing it nationally. But if anyone here has an idea, I'd love to hear it. For example, a small group of people in one town could open a gold/silver bank and issue demand certificates on 100% reserve deposits. The town business men could give a 3-5% discount for accepting those certificates (they would not ahve to pay the 3% credit or debit card cost). The depositors would have to pay a storage fee for their gold/silver held by the bank. Alas, the price of gold/silver is controlled by the government. When the price is flat or dereasing (as they wish) the bank is a loosing game, because of the costs of purchasing the gold/silver (with Federal Reserve $'s). "In a government controlled economy, bad money drives out good". "In a free-market, good money drives out bad." (Have I got that right?)
Again, as I've suggested before, put your name up for election - to anything; If you're old enough, for Congress. The experience is more than worth the effort. City Council, the water board, various commissions, anything. Personally I'd love to have more than 2 choices and would always vote for the 3rd, and so will at least some others. If you run for some office, focus on the interest point in that community, whatever it is. (We elected a complete City Council during 3 years of excessive rain by focusing on the need for sewers ((and we now have sewers.)
For influencing people I agree that the house to house approach gets the best results, expecially for those over 35. Try to spend time talking with them and getting to know them, rather than hitting the biggest number of houses or appartments.
Being an entrepreneur is a great idea already suggested. Offer what you enjoy doing and do well for sale, in a stand by the road, at craft or garden markets. I'm convinced no one in American knows how to make bread like the French, Czeck, or Polish do, so I make my own. I would make a bee-line straight to a person who sold good bread. (Its time consuming but very easy to make, and needs only flour, salt, water, and yeast, and no kneeding.) Did you know that successful small businessmen make a better living than most managers at any company, and you get to be your own boss and have to put up with no office politics?
Become familiar with the commodities market, particularly gold and silver. (DO NOT invest any money until after at least 1 full year of observation). Track the prices daily, chart them, correlate them with the Fed. actions, federal funds rate and T-bill and T-bond interest rates and other news. Check out the GATA site, and the Kitco forum. Learn the attitudes of the different countries toward gold and silver. Who is buying? Will some emerging countries succeed in creating an alternate reserve currency? Will it be gold-backed?
Well I have for a while been scanning/translating some Austrian School books up here: www.enxurrada.blogspot.com
some of them, like Hayek's Denationalization Of Money and Individualism And Economic Order, I actually uploaded last year, before Mises Institute...
But the thing is that my college does not have much AE books... If some college students in North America also started scanning some books it would be awsome... I've been trying to read Roger Garrison's Time And Money, but it's impossible to find it...
I have an idea to punish media outlets who support the state. Every time a company runs an ad on a network that supports statism, actively boycott that company for at least one month. If enough people did this, it might put pro-state media outlets out of business.
What do you think of this?
Max Keiser (www.maxkeiser.com) is big on boycotting. He has the Karma Banque and his new anti-state IP project PIRATE MY FILM.
Check him out. He's applying the idea of boycotts to activism practically.
max keiser is great. i respect a lot of what he has done, especially karma bank.
I heard another idea somewhere to have everybody withdraw their money from banks on the same day.
I heard another idea somewhere to have everybody withdraw their money from banks on the same day.
The government will just print more.
Keiser is into practical, OVERT agorism. Stop buying from corporations. Stop supporting oligarchs. Stop funding the people who use government coercion to make a profit. Deny them a profit. Make your own products, become your own entrepreneur.
If you really want to do something, take your capital and assets out of the Unites States and expatriate. Nothing will starve the beast faster than that. That's what I did, and it's increased my quality of life 1000-fold.
Quod licet jovi non licet bovi.
Seandon Mooy, I moved our discussion to a new thread.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it but we have an opportunity now that we did not have before.
Join a local tea party group and educate.
This takes patience, you can't overdose them but it's doable. There's a lot of people who sense something is wrong, don't trust the GOP (rightly) but don't know where to turn intellectually. You can't go in there teaching the gospel accd to Rothbard or Mises, but you can sow the intellectual seeds of liberty. Don't directly challenge sacred cows, but take opportunities to point out that the other guys have similar cattle that they care about. Point them to articles here or other libertarian sites that you know coincide with their views, etc.
If we don't the GOP will co-opt them given time, because they won't see they have another choice. Even if the movement can't be completely steered to freedom, we'll have educated people.
I finally got tired of being a whiny libertarian who impotently railed against the sheeple who fail to see the tyranny of evil men.
I think it's time to be the shepherd;)
The easiest people to win over are the people without strong ideological or political ideas.
The majority of the American electorate are independents. Free agents.
In Canada, voter turnout is in decline.
There are a lot of people disengaging from hard politics right or left.
These are the low hanging fruit.
Unfortunately, libertarians love to do things the hard way. Instead of speaking to their family, they will spend 100 hours online trying to argue with one communist. Then they get discouraged, then they give up or lose momentum.
Start small. Do the easy things first until you get confidence and develop rhetorical skill.
We need to advertise campaignforliberty.com on Facebook. 200 million users use facebook.
I wish there was another word for "We" - I'm starting to be averse to "We" and the groupthink it carries. How about stuff "individuals" can do. It means the same thing, strangely enough...

Would anyone be Interested in helping me create the site I am making focused at activism in New Zealand? http://whatisliberty.co.nz
It would be awesome if someone could help by writting some articles. They just need to be short (around 500 words) but powerful introduction of the ideas of liberty to persons that know nothing about the matter.
The articles on LewRockwell.com and the Daily Articles here might help. You can reprint the Mises articles, I'm not so sure about the LRC articles, although you could probably snippet them if you provide backlinks.
A lot of us have our own sites we struggle to create content for.
Start a new thread with a few topics you want articles and media on, and I am sure the community will give you lots of resources to re-post, or to use as inspiration for your own work.
"You swayed me"- Got this twice on Monday on topics of health care and psuedo prohibitions still on Alcohol and tobacco.
Freedom is appealing when presented as it is. Not just an a view, but a clearer picture.
An attempt to summarize the problems with our current leadership.... looking for collaboration... copy, edit, distribute....
1. One tool I feel is sorely missing from the anarchist arsenal is ready collection of essays/wikis directed at particular groups, and speak their language: leftists, environmentalists, minorities, apolitical folks, neocons, centrists, those against the banking elite (but who don't understand that government is what enables it - Zeitgeist and The Money Masters viewers, etc.), those who hate the depredations of "big business," military personnel, the elderly, parents, teenagers, students, etc.
For example, for the hardcore nature-loving environmentalist who sees humans as in principle equal to animals (I'm thinking of vegetarians and vegans), an argument about how we should own every inch of the Earth would not make sense. The great thing about our case is that we do not need to talk about ownership to advocate it, since respect for private property rights and ownership of everything are results of not having a state monopoly. We can make a heartily convincing case even to a hardcore Earth Mother just by talking about monopoly. For this purpose, it would be nice to have ready-made articles or wikis that people could access out of a list to match to positions of the person they were trying to persuade.
2. I think we are inefficiently conflating advocacy and theory. If we fail to distinguish that which we advocate and that which is just a theory of how it would pan out or be most successful, we multiply our labors almost infinitely. For the mere purpose of getting people on our side, we just need to make the case that all monopolies are detrimental, not to make the case for property rights, the NAP, etc.- these will follow naturally in anarchy anyway.
We theorize that in anarchy, free exchange will be most successful and people will adopt universally, or near-universally. There is such a thing as an anarcho-communist, but what is an anarcho-communist? It depends on how you define it. If it is defined as the notion that, in anarchy, societies would organize themselves communistically on a voluntary basis, then we have no disagreement in what we are advocating, only what we are theorizing. Anarcho-communists by this definition would be our brethren, albeit misguided as to how things would turn out. Of course, if anarcho-communists intend on using monopoly force to implement communism, they are not actually anarchists.
As I hope the above example makes clear, what we want to push for is anarchy. Everything else we talk about is simply conjecture (however correct it may be) about the spontaneous order that would develop or be most successful in the absence of a state monopoly. To argue that NAP, property rights, etc. are what will inevitably come about is all well and good, but I contend monopoly is a far easier target. We ought to welcome true anarcho-communists, as they would help dissolve the state...they would just be wrong about the final outcome. In anarchy, we would set up our societies and they would set up theirs, but theirs would fail and ours would succeed. If they don't respect the NAP, they will have problems and quickly come around. Heck, we might even be wrong and their 100% voluntary communism would succeed in satisfying all people (hardy har). I don't see a problem either way.
For example, take the Earth Mother I mentioned above. We could certainly, after great entreaties, convince her that property rights would help the environment, but the very idea that humans ought to own everything would be fundamentally repugnant to her. She would only ever agree grudgingly, and in practice probably not at all. We need her as a true anti-monopoly anarchist first and foremost, and the path to that is pretty EASY!
Why anarchy fails
Also, post on reddit.com - that's a great debate structure site where people are reasonably smart, but horrendously misinformed about the market. Fallacies run amock, and they are actually amenable to strong argumentation. Much better than Digg.
Here's how I see it:
Reddit is a much easier site to use.
Reddit politics section is the worst in terms of the amount of statists.
Reddit economics section is very good in that most of the people are relatively libertarian, and many are Austrians.
Digg has a smaller percentage of statists than Reddit. There is actually a small but thriving liberty contingent there. This is most likely a remnant from the Ron Paul campaign.
On neither site do people respond to logic. I have argued extensively on both. But I think "taking over" Digg and Reddit is INSTRUMENTAL in getting the liberty message out.
For better or worse, news aggregation sites are where the intellectual battle is fought these days, and if Digg and Reddit are permanent bastions for statism, that is terrible because for so many kids, it is their first exposure to politics.
We need to turn the tide on these sites over time!!
The nice thing about reddit.com is the shear number of bald-faced (usually socialist) fallacies people will use, which if you can deftly demonstrate to be wrong and they will usually concede. The reason people often concede and change their opinions on reddit is that they're used to discovering something new and unexpected in almost every post. Sure there are many many cases to the contrary, but compared to other forums reddit is a debater's paradise with it's compact tree-threaded comment system (which mises.org could really use IMO, and digg.com sorely lacks) and huge numbers of reasonably intelligent and politically interested readers.
I think they do respond to logic if it is presented reasonably well. I consider reddit.com to be outreach tool No. 1. Nowhere will you get a more fair hearing with more politically active people if you argue nicely, although it's still not very fair. There is a major dearth of people with understanding of Austrian economics and libertarian concepts there, and the few that are there are mostly not good debaters. Hint: they tend to assume you know what you're talking about if you use the more highbrow debating tactics, such as copious amounts of Latin in your posts
NewLiberty:We need to turn the tide on these sites over time!!
I have to disagree with that. A good example is what happened with Bureaucrash. The libertarian anarchists thought they captured the social network, but the conservative thinktank that owned it put in neocon management (Lee Doren, Mr. "How my neocon world works") that is completely not libertarian.
So all of that energy and time was wasted promoting bureaucrash. Many of those folks left and started fr33 agents. Now there is a primarily libertarian/anarchist social network.
So instead of trying to capture reddit or digg or wikipedia, use them to promote your own social networks and websites for libertarian/anarchist news.
I wholeheartedly support the ideals of classical liberalism, mises, and libertarianism however not voting is not making a statement, its doesnt help our cause it is a disgrace. It is the degradation of generations of dead heroes plain and simple. Vote Ron Paul or if you dont like him start a campaign, support whomever you want. Not voting is disgraceful.
With that said I also believe there should be a "none of the above" or slot to insert a name because limiting the options and forcing people to choose the lesser evil is tyrannical.
grace has nothing to do with it. neither do any dead heroes for the state. heroes for freedom are a different matter, but then, they do not have cause against libertarian anarchists who vote defensively or not at all, since they understand freedom.
Where there is no property there is no justice; a proposition as certain as any demonstration in Euclid

Nice work!
First of all, great thread, I think there are many valid points.
Here are some of my ideas. I am from Czech republic, therefore a non-english speaking country. So I am currently setting up a blog where I will regularly post translations of articles from Mises.org (and perhaps rockwell.com and some other sites, depends on their permissions) to provide an access to austrian and libertarian thoughts to people that do not read in english. I think every person that has a good knowledge of some other language can do that. It is also a good exercise. Plus I´ll try to put together some articles of my own, although my reasoning is pretty weak compared to the guys on Mises so far. Btw. first article that I chose to translate is Art Carden´s Minimum wage, discrimination and inequality - simple and nonoffensive for a regular (social democratic in this country) person. Good intro I think.
Second point - as a college student I try to involve some austrian ideas in most of the school work. My bachelor´s degree thesis title was "Fair Trade coffee in the perspective of Austrian school of economics". Almost no-one in the school supported that idea (almost no-one knew austrian school and thought it´s some bullshit since it involves no math - pardon my language), but since I tried to make it as much understandable and consistent as possible, it was a success. And my friends and peers at school were also quite interested in it. My master´s degree thesis will be probably something similar.
Well I know it´s not much, but I think the most important thing for me, as an austrian economic apprentice, is to learn as much as possible, to be able to discuss all the topics. I tried to discuss libertanianism and anarchocapitalism with my friends before, but they usually got me on road privatization, pension system, national defense and such. More study needed indeed:).
Kabal:Here are some of my ideas. I am from Czech republic, therefore a non-english speaking country.
Kabal, you should contact Mike Gogulski at www.nostate.com. He is in Bratislava Slovakia, and he is a translator by trade. He can probably offer you some ideas and suggestions.
Kabal:Well I know it´s not much,
It is fantastic. If everyone did this much, things would change in a matter of months.
Good for you, and welcome to Mises.org
liberty student:
It is fantastic. If everyone did this much, things would change in a matter of months.
Good for you, and welcome to Mises.org
Thanks for the warmth welcome and support. So if anyone knows any Czech or Slovak speaking people that would be interested in articles on liberty, sound economics and such, here is my site. Not much in there so far (only Art Carden´s article), but work is in progress:-).
I have always seen through experiance that the best thing you can do is talk to other people through more simple concepts, then using libertarian speak. Also, it's good to have a partner in crime. Don't forget that many alliances can be made with "conservatives", "liberals", and even socialists. Political group's theories always have to agree somewhere, it's better to come together for a certain cause, then to make that person your enemy and to have nothing. If I had, one of my closest activist friend, would have done half the work we would've done individually. Plus it really kills the stereotypes of a certain group, and lets you understand their reasons much better. An ally can even start to understand your ideas better and reduce their hostility torwards it.
Freedom has always been the only route to progress.

Does he sometimes get rid of the ball a little earlier than he should? Absolutely. However, it isn't this pathological trait of Eli's that you make it seem.
Believe me, I have a background in education. I know how irritating it can be, especially when that lingo seeps its way into academic work.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Eli has a quick release and does a good job of getting his body in a good position as not to take the full force of hits. (unless he take a "bleeder" to the face like in preseason) There have been times when he takes a beating but he only does that when he is throwing the ball deep and it usually ends up in a big play. It's funny for a guy who takes criticism for not being "athletic" he sure plays a lot more snaps than those "athletic" guys. /knock wood.

SilverStripe 2.4 has introduced shortcodes to the CMS editor. Simply, the CMS user can now add short BBCode style code to the editor area and it can then be replaced using a predefined function. For example [link id=23] could be replaced by the link to Page with an ID of 23. In fact that is exactly how internal links created in the links sidebar work in 2.4, preventing them from breaking when URLs change.Continue reading...

The Alchemy of Freedom
The Philosophers' Stone and the Secrets of ExistenceFor millennia alchemists sought the philosophers' stone, the miracle substance believed to be the key to all the secrets of existence. The quest was fueled by some of the prime questions of human existence: What am I? Why am I here? How has this world come to be?A. H.

In fact, reality is far more alive, far more mysterious than anything we can conceive of. It is always revealing itself by knowing itself; and knowing reality and living it becomes the fulfillment of our life. A. H.

The Illuminating Force of Love in Everyday LifeWhat do desire and passion have to do with our spiritual journey? According to A. H. Almaas and Karen Johnson, they are an essential part of it. Conventional wisdom cautions that desire and passion are opposed to the spiritual path—that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens. We naturally tend to experience wanting in… Read More

Realizing Your True Nature through the Practice of PresenceThe keys to self-knowledge and deep contentment are right here before us in this very moment—if we can simply learn to live with open awareness.

WHO'S FEELING LUCKY?: Will all three Democratic candidates for Massachusetts governor survive their party's June convention? And should they?
One thing is clear: Deval Patrick won't be in any kind of danger at the Democrats' Worcester confab, where they'll endorse one candidate and formalize the party's primary ballot. The former Clinton-administration official scored a huge victory at the party's caucuses in February, and he looks like a sure thing for the endorsement. But the picture is murkier for Patrick's two competitors, Attorney General Tom Reilly and venture capitalist–civic do-gooder Chris Gabrieli.
Let's start with Reilly. As Democratic-caucus results trickled in earlier this year, one rumor had the AG hovering dangerously close to the 15 percent mark. (At this year's convention, if 15 percent of delegates don't vote for a candidate on the first ballot, that candidate is done. Finished. Kaput. To get the convention's endorsement, a candidate needs to hit 50 percent plus one delegate.) The Reilly camp insisted it had reached that threshold, but it never offered any hard numbers. Then there's Gabrieli, whose position looks even shakier. Since Chris the Good didn't decide to run until after the caucuses, getting to 15 percent won't be easy: he'll need some undecided delegates, a handful of apostates, and a boatload of "add-ons," a group that includes elected officials and members of underrepresented groups (minorities, the handicapped, and so on).
Last week, after a debate featuring the three Democrats and the independent Christy Mihos, NECN's Chet Curtis noted that Patrick could be the only candidate to make it out of Worcester. It's an unlikely scenario but not entirely far-fetched. Suppose Patrick nabbed 75 percent of the delegates at the February caucuses, with 20 percent going for Reilly and 5 percent undecided. (The official results have been closely guarded by the Mass Dems.) If Patrick stays above the 70 percent mark once the add-ons get thrown in, Gabrieli and Reilly could end up fighting for the remaining 29 or 28 percent, with an even split bringing both campaigns to a screeching halt.
Dramatically speaking, it would be a hell of an outcome. Still, none of the seasoned political observers who spoke with the Phoenix seems to think Reilly will be seriously at risk in Worcester. "Reilly has the institutional players, and those folks are not budging," says one Democratic insider, referring to the AG's support from elected officials, such as Boston mayor Tom Menino. "And Reilly's not spending a dime on the convention — he's saving his money. He just wants to get 15 percent, and he'll go home."
Gabrieli should be so lucky. Thanks to a $2 million ad blitz that's made him a ubiquitous (some would say inescapable) presence on local TV, Gabrieli's poll numbers have been impressive lately. But while this should help him convince some delegates that he deserves a spot on the primary ballot, it may not be enough to help him reach 15 percent. So, he's trying guilt! Last week, a letter signed by 19 Democratic legislators (including supporters of all three Democratic candidates) and mailed to delegates by the Gabrieli campaign argued that, if Gabrieli doesn't advance to the primary, a great wrong will have been done. Here's the reasoning:

It's easy to spend 10 years in the outdoors of central Wisconsin and still consider yourself an explorer. In fact, a more sedentary lifestyle of my former self left me clueless as to what I was truly missing in the outdoors. Once experienced, many sites in this region need no further boasting but I can't credit enough the Green Circle Trail of Stevens Point for its diverse scenery, well-maintained surface and convenient access points.
The trail accommodates both mountain and hybrid bikes and gives the kids a fairly smooth ride in their trailers or tag-a-longs. My family enjoys the activity and our pocketbooks enjoy the cost-free entertainment offered by the course. Offering only a few hills and several long, wooden pathways, the course takes you through some places many have never experienced. Sometimes I run across (not over) my friends like Scott, from the Hostel (bicycle) Shoppe and Randy from Campus Cycle, two individuals that share my love of the sport.
Biking my full 26-mile route was once a looming specter but also a great desire of mine when I first peddled down the path in 2008. Cruising next to the Plover River and then riding along the Wisconsin River and the remarkable natural beauty of the trail's forest and fauna keeps my mind off the idea that "exercise" is actually taking place. Today, I still find the Green Circle as captivating as ever.
President Jon Greendeer was elected President of the Ho-Chunk Nation on June 7, 2011 and was sworn into office on July 6, 2011. He received his associate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Marathon County where he served as vice president of the student association, ambassador, and the President of the Native American Student Organization. Jon obtained his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where he served as Multicultural and Diversity Issues Director for the Student Government Association and served as a delegate to the United Council for both universities.
Jon began his career with the Ho-Chunk Nation in the office of the president as the executive administrative officer where he managed the nation's executive directors. Jon also worked for the Ho-Chunk Nation personnel department as the Grievance Review Board Chairperson and Mediator. President Greendeer resides in Stevens Point with his wife, Chris and his two daughters, Brittany and Rio.

>I'm lost, I see that some deep bodies have 5 different sizes to them. What are the different sizes for? There is a 9 5/8" a 7 5/8" and down to a 5 5/8". What does this mean?
This is the depth (the measurment vertically). The original Langstroth was 9 5/8". Since they were too heavy to lift full of honey, he make supers that were shallow (5 3/4"). Since it took a lot of uncapping Dadant came up with a medium (6 5/8"). For comb honey someone came up with cutting a standard 9 5/8" in half which makes two 4 3/4" (you lose the saw kerf) boxes and these are Extra shallows. Someone thought that having all the same size boxes was nice, but decided that the mediums were just a little small and came up with the 7 5/8" box. Dadant decided that a 9 5/8" box was too shallow for the queen to have enough room in one box so he came up with the 11 5/8" box with 12 frames in it.
I run all eight frame mediums and would highly recommend it. Having all the same size frame is a Godsend. Having boxes you can lift when they are full of honey is also. Being able to manage "by the box" is a huge time saver as well.

Hide lines
our route was north east to south east through vojvodina and around beograd into the homolske mountains.
serbia, a war torn country, doesn't show the aftereffects of war in really obvious ways. the layers are thick. people do not like talking about the conflict, the same way they do in croatia horvatsko. the areas around novi sad and belgrade are (on the outskirts) very new, quick rebuilds. the cemetaries in every region and village, are large. there are too many young people in these cemetaries.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
when we crossed the border into serbia the guards asked us if we were here to go 'shopping'
the traffic was insane and scary: people drive fast! sports cars or clunking yugos, buses and trucks. the map was hard to use in the vojvodina region because you really didn't know what to expect with road conditions, some were calm some were not. lots of head winds because of flat fields, agricultural region.
*heading east the dunai (danube) route seems like a bad choice until they bike path it. soon, it's on a 5 year plan. otherwise it has high traffic, stick to smaller roads.
south east of beograd everything gets so much better, the mountains the roads the people.
people greet 'zdravo' or 'dobr dan' and are really friendly.
cops seem to be duds in serbia, from our experience asking for help finding safe camping.
at first we kinda hated on serbia because the roads were bad and people were giving us the stink eye or asking/implying that we should be worried for our safety
our first night in we ran into a man named nick who was serbian but lived many years in australia, he spoke english as well as 10 other languages. he had been involved in the diamond mining business and obviously made a lot of money and had come back to serbia to build something for his people, a water side restaurant, he was also very giving with his money and told stories of buying icecream cones for all the kids in town - during w.w.2 he didn't have icecream and now he can afford to do those things, it's only money. we had a night on the town or a beer with a bachelor friend of his, budamir, just being friendly!
in the midst of hating the roads we stopped in a larger town and in the park made friends with two young 10/11 year old brothers. not exactly a cheerful time, we left them behind and felt heart broken. they were rom, never went to school, slept in an abandoned house, and huffed glue all day - 'it's not a drug it just keeps your spirits up.' we talked and they taught us some serb words and rom words. i gave them some dice to play with, a counting game, they loved it and because of their interest actually stopped disappearing into their sweatshirts to huff the glue for a few minutes. their situation is really tragic and we hope the best for them...
we spent about 7 days in serbia, heading into the mountains was really exciting and suspensful because we didn't know what to expect. it was beautiful and challenging because the road kept twisting through the mountain. our challenging ride caused one driver double back, stop and give us two red bulls. he was a character sorta a mobster maybe in a stollen austrian mercedes? he shrugged off the question about his austrian license plates, with a look that said 'austrian license plates not for long'
in krepolin we camped near the sports field, it was night and we were in the mountains not wanting to camp in the woods
a nice retired school teacher, language teacher, bought our groceries in the town of zagubica.
we made it down the mountain into the beautiul borske jezero region just as a storm was coming in. headed into the borske jezero camp ground. wanted to pitch our tent but the nice folks there wouldn't have it and gave us the key to their camper. we slept warm and dry thanks to them. they lived with their dog in this beautiful wilderness year round and considered themselves happy and lucky.

I don't understand how there could be a more direct measurement, unless you're looking for an equation.
According to the definition from wolfram, an affine transformation is one that "preserves collinearity ... and ratios of distances."
Thus if you're scaling everything, the distance will scale with the lines as well. Thus new h = old h * scale amount. Otherwise the h will stay the same.
Hope this helps,

The distance can be seen as the length of a direction vector d. The vector can be transformed as well, and the length of the vector after transformation is the distance of the lines after transformation.
Let d := |d| be the original length.
Uniform scaling S * d =: d' will cause d' = s * d, that's right. However, non-uniform scaling isn't that simple, because the direction of d plays a role. Moreover, if the transformation in question is a composite one w.r.t. the well known primitive transformations, then S is perhaps applied in a space where the direction of d isn't the same as those it is computed initially.
I think that for the most general case the transformation must be applied.

Affine transformation is just another name for a matrix with non uniform scale, rotation, and translation baked in (more or less). I didn't mean to be too obtuse when forming the question
Anyway, I came up with: h' = h * length(S*(b - a)) / (length(b - a)) after a bit of algebra. Can someone confirm/refute that? I took the method I described and worked it out algebraically. But intuitively I'm surprised I'm using b-a and not a vector perpindicular to b-a or something along those lines.

h' = h * length(S*(b - a)) / (length(b - a))

Let points X and Y be arbitrary closest point pairs on the two lines. That is, X lies on the first line, and Y lies on the second line, and the distance between those two points is the same as the distance of the two lines themselves, i.e. in the original picture, h = |X-Y|.
Let H := X-Y =: (x,y,z,0). That is, H is a direction vector between the two points and it's length |H| = h is the distance between the two lines.
Let A be the affine map in question. Since A is affine, it is representible by a matrix M, using operation A(v) = M*v.
Then the sought new distance is
h' = |A(H)| = |M*H|
If the affine map A does contain shear and therefore M is not guaranteed to be orthonormal, then one can't do much better than to compute the matrix multiplication above.
If the affine map A does not contain any shearing, the formula does simplify: For ease of notation, fix ourselves to a 3D space (although 2D or other dimensions are equivalent). We can decompose the matrix M to a form M = N*S, where S is a diagonal matrix S=diag(sx,sy,sz,1) and N consists of column vectors vx,vy,vz,t, where vx, vy and vz are normalized and t is a translation component. That is, decompose the scaling part out of matrix M to matrix S.
Since A does not contain any shearing, the matrix N is orthonormal (only rotates, and potentially mirrors and its determinant is +/-1), and the new distance is
h' = |M*H| = |N*S*H| = |S*H| = |(sx*x,sy*y,sz*z)|
Posted 29 January 2013 - 06:15 PM
@clb: I don't think you can do h' = |M*H| because M*H is not guaranteed to be a shortest path between the two parallel lines after they're transformed by M.
That is, just because H is perpendicular to both lines before transformation doesn't mean it's perpendicular to both lines after transformation. Consider the case of a sheering of a square in to a parallelogram. One of those funny properties of affine transformations: closest point pairs on parallel lines aren't preserved.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 01:23 PM
Numsgil: You are absolutely correct.
For the case of no shear, it should hold. For the case with shear, I think it's possible to arrive to a closed expression by deriving the distance between the lines under the operation by the affine map, but that's indeed a more detailed examination.

It seems like it would be pretty cheap so I was just going to buy it and replace it myself but I dont know what the proper name for it is. If anyone could tell me the proper name , or give me a link to a website where I can buy it, or even the part number if anyone knows it, it would be much appreciated. I know I can get it from the dealer but I dont want to get over charged unless I have too.

El Paso Museums
There are several museums and points of interest located within walking distance of the Camino Real El Paso. The El Paso Museum of History features five galleries representing 400 years of U.S./Mexico border history. Among the best are exhibitions highlighting the brilliant mind of Leonardo da Vinci as well as early Spanish exploration prior to the arrival of the Mayflower; borderland racing history, the history of medicine, cultural history exhibits, neighborhood exhibits and artifacts from El Paso's earliest neighborhoods. The El Paso Museum of Art houses a permanent collection of more than 6,000 works of art, including the Samuel H. Kress Collection of European art from the 13th-18th centuries; American art from the 19th to the 21st century; and Mexican colonial art and "retablos" (devotional paintings) from the southwestern United States and Mexico. Admission is free. Visitors to the Insights – El Paso Science Museum discover the wonders of science, from millions-of-years-old fossils to bubbles and magnets, through exhibits designed to make learning an active, hands-on, experience, complemented by changing temporary exhibits.
National Border Patrol Museum
One of our Nation's best kept secrets is the National Border Patrol Museum! It's from here you can journey through the history of the U.S. Border Patrol from the beginning in the Old West, through Prohibition, World War II and into the high-tech Patrol of today The museum exhibits uniforms, equipment, photographs, guns, vehicles, airplanes, boats and documents depicting historical and current date sector operations throughout the United States.
El Paso Zoo
It's not the typical El Paso experience, but, then again, visiting the El Paso Zoo is anything but typical. The park looks as though it was carved right out of the city – it's an expansive green space that is home to exotic animals from around the world and features family attractions such as the African Star train and the Hunt Family Desert Spring. Accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), the El Paso Zoo celebrates the value of animals and natural resources and creates opportunities for people to rediscover their connection to nature. If you're expecting a typical walk in the park, then you'll be pleasantly surprised by the uncommon encounters that await you.
El Paso Walking Tours
Take a walking tour to get to know some of the city's highlights – there are several to choose from. One of the most popular is the historic Mission Trail area on El Paso's far-east side. It's worthy of a half-day trip for a look at three very old churches, originally built during the 1600-1700s. Some are still used regularly for services, and reconstruction on them, given their age, seems to be eternal. Located in front of each church is a marker, giving the long history of that particular mission. The missions are still owned by the Catholic Church and are usually open during daytime hours, but this is always subject to change.
Wyler Aerial Tramway at Franklin Mountain State Park
The Wyler Aerial Tramway at Franklin Mountains State Park features an aerial cable car situated on 195.742 acres of rugged mountain and rock formations on the east side of the Franklin Mountains. The Swiss made gondolas travel on a 2,600 feet long, 1 3/8 inch diameter steel cable. On the smooth ride to the top, the cabin attendant will describe the different cacti and rock formations along the way. Abundant wildlife, including reptiles, birds and insects, offer exciting viewing opportunities. The 4 minute ride soars above a vast canyon that is 240 feet deep in some places. From Ranger Peak, 5,632 feet above sea level, you can enjoy the view of 7,000 square miles encompassing three states and two nations. The tramway ride is a memorable experience offering a vista of the vastness and stark beauty of the southwest.

Just played a ranked game. ~1400 elo. Bans were ridiculous. Teemo, Syndra, Blitz, etc. Enemy team proceeds to pick everything that is usually banned. Darius, Diana, Katarina, Ezreal, Morgana.
Im not sure who to be mad at, the banners who shouldn't be allowed to play ranked, or Riot for coming up with such bullcrap champion mechanics. And no, I was playing support, and no, my team didn't counterpick correctly. In fact what they did is counterpick diana in mid, diana went jungling. Mid lane got counter-counterpicked and didn't do well. Top lane was in top lane for 30+ mins. Saw him in team fights close to game end, thats about it. No impact on the game what-so-ever.
Our jungler was underperforming. Playing Leona, the Morgana support shield made me absolutely pointless. And of course, ezreal carried like no tomorrow because Riot can't balance his single target damage. I would say our carry did his best. But the ship capsized way before he could make a difference.
Really, I want to find the champion designer and strangle him. Fuck Katarina. URGHNETGQ$BNG
edit: im very butthurt right now, no need to tell me. ;<

I'll start with my final score 1/8/13, creep score 117, and champion: varus
Sucks right?
Flame me right?
Let's start from the beginning.
Zed "supporting" me.
Versus urgot and soraka.
So let's play it passively, miss a few cs etc, reach late game and see urgot fall off? Nop! Let's be aggressive! Urgot scores kills before level 4 so the "lose few cs" turns into "lose every cs or just die". Still, i manage not to get killed, i farm slowly, get a hog in an attempt to still push for that late game come back.
Now, team view! Enemy plays aggressively, trying to win the game early on. My team keeps trying to 1vs1 xin.... The score is always double on their end, always getting more kills than giving. Their farm is also atrocious... zed 75 in the end, shen 35....
Final clue? They are 4 friends playing together, so they just laugh at their shen going 0/13.
You can imagine how the teamfights went... facing fed divers as a underfarmed ad carry, with a fed urgot on the enemy team.... Before the teamfights started (teamfights... mindless zerging but anyway), i had 2 deaths and my team had 18...... The game ends and i had the lowest death count... But who gets flamed? Me ofcourse...
I'm seriously considering get a carry with better escape tools for when i'm queuing without friends... I love varus, but if my team doesn't know how to peel people off me.... god the horror!
I if I solo queue, Ezreal w/ Flash+Heal is my preferred pick.
Far safer than I'd normally play, but I rather be safe than sorry.
Takes a really "special" jungler to lose your lane for you, normally that's the enemy jungler's job. However this guy only showed up to lanes when they were pushed to the enemy tower so he could do a failed tower dive just because the other guy wasn't at full hp.
If you suck so bad a jungling that you cant do a proper gank on Mordekaiser, then you're just beyond redemption. Seriously 90% of the time Mordekaiser will have to overextend himself, yet the guy chooses to come when Mordekaiser is underneath his turret and then feeds him 3 kills. I don't think he manged to pull off a single gank where he lived for the whole game. An afk farm jungler would have been more useful than him.
Katarina isn't really a strong pick in my personal opinion, she is quite easily countered and in teamfights she relies heavily on strong CC backup or incompetent opponents - she only really shines in very high or very low level play, but again: That's just my personal experience.
Morgana support, again, isn't something to really write home about either, she's not weak but there are stronger options out there, like Leona/Sona.
I also don't consider jungle Diana as strong as mid lane Diana, but maybe I just haven't experienced enough jungle Dianas yet (,though they seem to have the same problems as other AP junglers, namely itemization that is suboptimal for jungling.)
To me, it doesn't seem that your team neccessarily lost in the picks and bans, but without knowing your team's picks, that's difficult to say.
As if i needed another reason to hate Teemo.. Support Teemo's feeding like they are getting payd for it.
Ahri insulting me for smite stealing the enemies blue, Im shen i shouldn;t take anny blue..
Somebody ganked my car and stole my portemonnaie and its ec cards and the other stuff in it. As if the day wasnt bad enough already.
Fucking LIVID with this shitehawk of a game now.
Game 1: Playing Sivir ADC, 7/1/3, carrying our team, top lane Jax goes full retard and throws his lane.
Game 2: Sivir ADC again, 3/0/1, my "support" kayle goes full carry mode, takes all of my farm and pushes our lane so much we end up getting constantly ganked. Doesn't buy a single ward, constantly KS (and yes, actual KS, not just accidentally last hitting)
Game 3: Didn't even make it into the game, called ADC in the lobby, politely say "Whoever is supporting, please take an actual support", guy says "ok support cait it is" then locks in Shyvana.
WHY ARE PEOPLE SUCH CANCEROUS FUCKS IN THIS GAME?! Ruinous cunts.
ne porvivajo nur mortigi tempo
35 losses in a row, and for i'd say 80% of those i do reasonable. I think my elo is around 12. For 12 games till my last one our team couldn't break double digits for team kills. Now i'm sure people will say "if ur so good why u no carry team" well, im not good, i consider myself to be barely competent to the point i know then basics of the game. But i mean...theres some people out there who amaze me. EVERY game one person on my team died 4 times within 10 minutes, and EVERY game one person will die a minimum of 12 times, being horrendously. Until the new season plays out for a bit, i hereby quit LoL until the ranks have ironed out to something reasonable to play. I've already uninstalled it in order to prevent me from playing it too. So reply to this all u want, cause im not looking in the LoL forums till at least next year march. Ciao.
35 losses in a row? Jesus Christ..
ne porvivajo nur mortigi tempo
im already upset at 2-3 losses in a row. I admire your stamina!
I had the lane on bottom, Graves. I had the Sivir flat beat on CS and lane presence. Our jungle(Rammus) DIES in the jungle on Red. Then Mundo, counter jungles him, and the Rammus DIES to Mundo while going for Red again. Then Mundo goes top and kills Teemo, Teemo proceeds to lose the lane against an OLAF. Orianna lose the lane to Vladimir.
I was at 1-0-0 15 minutes in, with 102 CS over a Sivir with 60 CS. It just wasn't enough. The rest of my team just fed, fed, fed and fed... I just don't understand.
I'm raging, mouth frothing, pissed off. I'm tired of losing games to shit ass teammates. I don't lose my lane, my team loses THEIR lanes.
My last couple of games, I went 5-0, 6-0, 10-0, then 2-0 loss, and then 2-3 loss. Last 2 games.. yeah tell me I am the one to blame. That I can't carry. Nah fuck you assholes, I'm not perfect by any means, but when a Teemo losses a lane to Olaf, Rammus dies in jungle. THEN YOU BLAME ME. I hope you choke on your next meal.
Did my first ranked of season, decide to go Varus because its against MF and I can dominate the lane. Enemy takes Jax, Lee Sin and Akali so I know this is gonna go horribly. Game starts and my support DC's, np I out CS MF anyway and hold the lane. My support comes back, I get 6, we get an easy kill. 4 enemy come bot, our team has no response we both die. 4 enemy come bot, I die, my team responds, my Blitzcrank fists Akali onto him when he has like 100 HP, she kills him. Rest of my team dies anyway
Was a horrible horrible game, enemy roamed all game and my team didnt respond, then kept going off 1v1 to die.
Also this is one of the worst things in LoL right now, if Akali had come bot and Id have been Corki or Ezreal it'd be fine, but playing Varus I just get dumped all over, so fucking annoying.
It's the main reason I refuse to play an AD without escape when solo queueing. Which generally means Ez, Corki or Tristana.
Teemo will lose to any champion who can close the gap, which an Olaf will be able to do once he hits 6. Pre-6 he can axe farm. It will suck, but he should win >6 from a Teemo, because Teemo blows.
Ori will lose to Vlad because he can dodge her ultimate too easily and outsustains the damage she does later on with ease. Probably ended up as a farmfest (he pushes so she can't roam). Rammus was probably your biggest problem. Rammus does not die. Not even when I try to. Dem towerdives mang.

President's committee leads charitable campaign
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(Sept. 18, 2007)--Twenty-five faculty and staff members from across the UTSA Tri-Campus community are serving as the President's Advisory Committee (PAC) for the 2007 State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC). This year's campaign runs Monday, Oct. 1-Friday, Oct. 19.
Selected by President Ricardo Romo, the committee members are steering a broad effort to inform the UTSA community about the benefits of this annual workplace giving campaign.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

PAC members will be assisted by 150 Area Champions -- faculty and employees who step up to champion the campaign in their respective areas or departments. Albert Carrisalez, assistant to the president and director for external affairs, will serve again as the UTSA SECC chairperson.
"I am delighted to be a part of this campaign, working with the PAC team and all of the Area Champions," said Carrisalez. "Last year, the UTSA community was extremely generous in its participation -- and we managed to have a lot of fun in the process. No doubt, almost every one of you has been touched by one of these agencies. I'm looking forward to another record-breaking year for UTSA."
The UTSA Tri-Campus community was indeed a shining star in the 2006 statewide campaign -- 62 percent of UTSA employees contributed more than $225,000 to local, national and international nonprofit charities through the SECC. That figure represents the highest percentage of participation for any UT System component.
PAC members assist with all aspects of the campaign from planning and publicizing special events and agency field trips to securing prizes and gifts to offer as incentives for employee participation.
A special event this year will be a faculty-staff "UTSA's Got Talent" performance, scheduled for Wednesday Oct. 17. Admission to the performance will be an employee's pledged gift to the SECC campaign. Watch for more details.
