Quotes of the day
posted at 10:31 pm on January 13, 2014 by Allahpundit
The chairman of a New Jersey legislative panel investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closures said Gov. Chris Christie's top aides had engaged in a "cover-up" and the governor could be impeached if it is determined he was aware of efforts to use the bridge for political purposes.
"Using the George Washington Bridge, a public resource, to exact a political vendetta, is a crime," New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who is spearheading the bridge probe, told NBC News on Saturday. "Having people use their official position to have a political game is a crime. So if those tie back to the governor in any way, it clearly becomes an impeachable offense."
As Rich pointed out below, this morning's political talk shows were amazingly obsessed with the news that some of Chris Christie's top aides appear to have been involved in causing a serious traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge, between New York and New Jersey. It was indeed something of a slow news week, but the past seven days saw terrifying advances made by al-Qaeda in Iraq, the 50th anniversary of the War on Poverty and Republican talk about how they'd like to address the problem, the release of an important account of how the Obama administration handled national security, and the death of one of the key figures in Israeli history. But with certain exceptions, you wouldn't know it: As Rich said, the New Jersey scandal is a legitimate, important story, but the Sunday shows fell over themselves to offer incredibly comprehensive coverage of it and idle speculation about how it'll affect a potential presidential candidate's fate two or three years down the road…
Meet the Press: 33 minutes. After having on the mayor of Fort Lee (the town most affected by the traffic jam), airing a report from Iowa on the scandal's impact, and suggesting that viewers weigh in on Meet the Press's Facebook page (among other things), the NBC program's roundtable finally, at 11:03 a.m. New York time, turned to discussing the release of Secretary of Defense Bob Gates's explosive memoir. Thankfully, just eight minutes later, at 11:11, they returned to the Christie controversy.
This Week: 22 minutes. ABC's Sunday program spoke with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani about the scandal, aired a report from New Jersey, had on Judy Smith, a crisis-management professional whose story has been turned into the cable-TV show Scandal, and even ran clips of late-night comedians cracking jokes at Christie's expense. At 10:22 a.m., more than a third of the way through the program, stand-in host Martha Raddatz finally steered the conversation away from the traffic tiff, to discussing Bob Gates's new book.
Christie's style was always going to be problematic for him in the primaries, especially in the polite South. But now he also can be viewed as a victim not only of malignant, malicious and mind-bendingly stupid staffers but also of a two-faced, pro-Democratic media.
The media are not monolithic, as we like to remind people. But we do have a tendency to focus on the latest scandal. And it does seem that we tend to treat Republican scandals as more delicious than others. This is owing less to the sins committed than to the greater sin of hypocrisy. The higher the bar, the harder they fall.
But Christie isn't a strong exhibit in the mean-media argument. More than a Republican, he is a colorful, larger-than-life character who speaks loudly and carries a big stick. Cameras will always find the most interesting landscape, and Christie has that turf covered. More to the salient point, as the leading Republican presidential candidate, he can hardly be ignored. Coverage of this fiasco isn't disproportionate to the man, even if it may be to the event.
Journalists know the Obamans. Intimately. They know them from college, they know them from work, they know them from kids' soccer. They're literally married to them…
The journalists are not covering up for their friends and their spouses. They just believe the people they know could not be responsible for behaving badly, or cravenly, or for crass political advantage —and the tone they strike when such things are discussed is often one of offense, as though it is a sign of low character to believe otherwise. It would be, well, like believing the journalists themselves were crooks…
Christie may be entirely innocent of all wrongdoing. Or there may be some connection, even a very tenuous and suggestive one. But there will be little let-up now.
For in the end, because Christie is a Republican. Christie isn't them.
He does not have the committed ideological core that Ronald Reagan could rely on to overcome Iran-Contra. He does not have the Democratic base that stuck with Bill Clinton during his sex scandal because the excesses of a special prosecutor and then of a Republican House that impeached him came to enrage Democrats even more than Clinton's misbehavior.
What of Christie's base? Wall Street is fickle and pragmatic. The media can turn on a dime. And the Republican establishment, such as it is, has alternatives. Oh, yes, Christie also has support from some machine Democrats in New Jersey who have made deals with him. But they will be even more pragmatic than Wall Street…
Christie has one other obstacle, and this may be the most important. A great many conservatives never trusted him, and a tale that plays so perfectly into their critique of government could make things worse. Erick Erickson, the right-wing writer, captured this rather colorfully. People sometimes want a politician to be "a jerk," Erickson wrote on Fox News' Web site, but "they want the person to be their jerk," not a jerk "who tries to make everyone else his whipping boy."
To win Christie some sympathy on the right, defenders such as former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour quickly deployed the GOP's first-responder technique of attacking "the liberal media." But liberals are the least of Christie's problems.
The end of Christie's career would not be a good thing — for New Jersey, for the Republican party, for conservatism, or for the country. He is a valuable conservative, one of the most talented politicians in America. We are lucky to have him on our side — general side…
If you spend enough time in RightWorld, you may be led to believe that our enemies are John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Karl Rove, Reince Priebus, and definitely anyone named Bush. I can't tell you how nutso this seems to them (as to me). In the words of one of them, "I've been decried as a right-wing lunatic my entire life. And to be decried now as an establishment moderate is almost an out-of-body experience."
Think for a second what it's like to be George W. Bush. In the dominant liberal culture — the universities, Hollywood, the news media — you're Attila the Hun, if not BusHitler. (Did I spell that right?) In RightWorld, you're Elliot Richardson, at best…
Because I am a Ted Cruz man — he is an old, dear friend, and I'll be supporting him in '16, if he runs — I should be gleeful over Christie's tumble. I am not, however. I think that conservative rejoicing over his troubles is unseemly, and self-defeating. I don't have to be for him 100 percent to appreciate him. Eighty percent will do, and maybe even 65.
[J]oining the media madness before Christie had a chance to defend himself was short-sighted…
Whether it was the false and defamatory supposed connection of Sarah Palin to the Gabby Giffords shooting, or the media frenzy over Mitt Romney's (now vindicated) comments about Benghazi, there is no Republican immune from the media mob. Only Democrats are immune…
This is not about Chris Christie. It's about any number of other Republican candidates who will be met with the same faux-outrage and media-led obsession a year from now as the 2016 field begins to define itself.
You cannot become one of them when you're not one of them, and you can't make them like you. Membership in that club, it's really strict and unique, and you don't get to admit yourself. Did they not see what happened with McCain? McCain was loved and adored until he becomes a candidate, then he becomes a dirty old man kicking kids off his front yard. So that's what amazes me. What amazes me is after all of this, after that hour and a half press conference they thought a home run had been hit and they thought the media minds had been changed.
I'll guarantee you, they're sitting there stunned that this investigation is still underway and that the Feds are now involved, 'cause they thought that Christie had succeeded. They thought Christie knocked it out of the park, when it didn't matter whether he knocked out of the park or not. This is the only guy beating Hillary in the polls, and they're gonna go destroy this guy whatever it takes.

Hi there!
Hope this isn't something that has been discussed over and over, anyway I didn't find a thread dealing with this.
What I know is, that many people use Dickies Coveralls or military flightsuits (customized), there are also custom suits like the one from Boba Maker. It is said that the original suit was a racing suit or a flightsuit. Now I don't think that it was a racing suit cause these suits were padded and not just plain cotton. It COULD be a suit mechanics used as a working coverall. Also, there is no information if the original suit was used as it was or if the costume guys customized a suit.
Now after watching ANH again, I see so many rebel troopers wearing these grey coveralls which look very similar to a Boba suit, so the Boba Suit could be a left over coverall from ANH (or the same model in new condition). If this is the case - they had many people doing rebel troopers so they had to buy a lot of these coverall.
Now what's in interest? - Anyone is still on the race to find an accurate one? What's the latest information on it or is buying a fan made one the best way these days?
This thing annoys me so much because it's just a simple cotton coverall

Should you take honey the first year? If so, how? How much? Various methods for harvesting the honey.
Should you take honey the first year? If so, how? How much? Various methods for harvesting the honey.
Last edited by Barry; 03-04-2014 at 03:19 PM.
Regards, Barry
All of my hives consist of double deeps. If the bees build up enough to draw comb on both deeps then I add a super (shallow or medium). I only remove, for my use, the honey frames in the supers. I do not rob (again, for my use) any honey frames from the deep boxes.
My frames are extracted, either in a manual extractor or motorized extractor.
I think it's very important that the beekeeper err on the side of being conservative with how much honey they take off their first year hives. How much winter honey the hives will store up on their own differs greatly with location. Where I'm at, I can remove the honey supers before the fall flow starts and know that they will have plenty of nectar available from their winter stores. I encourage beekeepers to only take a frame or two for their own use the first year and reserve the rest for winter use, either on the hive or as backup to add if needed.
Regards, Barry
People ask your first question in many different ways. I have heard it hundreds of times. The answer is MAYBE! It depends on your location, the year, your expertise and care of the bees along with a lot of factors out of ones control. In some locations people strip all the honey and "capture" what they can. ( ie... bees in Alaska) Most people want to keep their bees alive through whatever winter they are going to encounter. The longer the winter the more weight in feed the bees will need to survive. In most locations a hive needs 30 - 80 lbs of honey to do so.
If they encounter a winter like the one you have this year all bets are off... Dead bees from disease and lack of feed will be the norm this spring when people open up hives in the Midwest and east coast...
As per extraction or harvesting? I'll let others answer.
To share my own error-- don't assume the bees will fill the basement before filling the attic! I happily took honey supers and then discovered empty bottom deeps. I already know that was stupid so back off!
I have no experience, but wanted to share my plan. I had one hive last year that was a late season cutout and they were slow to build up. That hive got robbed and died out over winter. This spring, I have two hives from cut outs and they are building up way fast.
I will NOT take any honey this year. Instead, let them go through a season to see how much they consume. Then use that as a reference for the following year....of course compensating for how harsh or mild the winter may be.
I am a first year beekeeper and I left all the honey the bees produced on their respective hives. I felt one hive did not have enough for the winter, didn't know it was going to be this cold in Alabama, so I made a candy board and put it on one of the hive also. Spring is here and the girls are thriving. from other post I have read I am glad that I sacrificed no Honey for myself and left it for the bees. I feel I made the right decision for a first year newbee. Looking forward to the rewards this year.
The amount of honey your honey bees will need for winter various depending on your location and thus, the length and severity of your winter. It is a good idea to ask established local beekeepers how much winter honey stores they leave for their honey bees. I've heard that most beekeepers leave an average of 90 lbs of honey.
Do not expect to harvest honey your first year as your new colony will need to become established, produce wax (it takes 7+ lbs honey to make 1 lbs honey bee wax), produce comb or draw out comb, and store nectar and pollen.
Your honey harvest may vary year by year and will depend factors such as: on the strength and duration of nectar flows, the productivity of the colony, and the health of the queen.
When weighing the honey, do you just weigh the whole super, do a tare weight of a super with just frames and foundation( no stores)first to deduct from the super weight, or use a calculation like a filled medium frame = x?
"Performance speaks louder than math." Michael Palmer

I came home from work yesterday and as I was walking in the house I heard a buzzing sound, loud hum. Looked around and saw many different bees all over the bushes we have near our foundation, along with a butterfly or two.
If your looking for a multipurpose bush, the type we have grows about 4' high (its planted around our foundation to hid the stucco, looses its leaves in the winter and then the birds eat the fruit all winter long. I will post pics of some of the bees as soon as I can.
Ilex verticillata
aka winterberry holly
deep-red fruit that are showy through late winter and are excellent bird attractors. The shiny dark green foliage makes this plant lovely in any landscape. Use 'Jim Dandy' to pollinate.
Great For:
Foundation plantings
Massed for hedging
Height: 2-3' Width: 3-4'
Blooms: White (Spring) Fall Color: Purple, Yellow
Winter Interest: Fruit, Structure

Realistic Sniper Simulation Takes Aim at PlayStation(R) 2 and Xbox(R) this Fall
SANTA CLARA , Calif. , ( May 13, 2005 ) – Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. today announced "Sniper Elite(TM)." Developed in the UK by Rebellion, "Sniper Elite" is a realistic World War II sniper simulation. The game plunges players behind enemy lines on an undercover mission to divert Atomic weapon research from the advancing Soviet Army. Featuring authentic sniping mechanics and four offline and online game modes, "Sniper Elite" will be available on the PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox(R) video game system and PC in the fourth quarter of 2005.
In "Sniper Elite," players assume the role of an American sniper, disguised as a German soldier and dropped into war torn 1945 Berlin by the American OSS to gather intelligence on the top-secret German Atomic research. If his mission fails, control of the world's Atomic technology will fall into the hands of Stalin and the Soviet Army, throwing the world's political climate into chaos.
"With their unparalleled survival skills, composure in the face of danger, and ruthless precision, snipers have captivated the minds of action fans for years," said Garry Cole, Executive Vice President of Namco Hometek Inc. "'Sniper Elite' recreates the life of a World War II sniper in a hostile environment, evading enemy soldiers while seeking cover and waiting for an opportunity to take the perfect shot."
In the undercover mission, players will utilize their sniper training to gain access to key positions by taking out machine guns, armored vehicles, guard posts and sentries through stealth and pinpoint accuracy. Like a true sniper, players will have to follow their wits and instincts and utilize both first and third-person perspectives to negotiate through 28 open-ended levels in war-torn Berlin. In taking aim at enemy soldiers, players will need to consider gravity, wind speed, heart rate, breathing and posture to successfully hit their target in one of the most authentic sniping mechanics ever devised. Players can even take up the fight or go head-to-head with a friend in the cooperative or competitive offline play modes, or even engage in a game of worldwide cat-and-mouse with up to eight players online.

text: I've spotted capped brood! There was a very nice frame full of brood when I did an inspection yesterday and the bees seem to be doing fairly well. I moved some of the brood into a part of the hive where the comb is pretty slim to try and expand the building of comb. Is this an okay idea?

Yeah, this has been a brutal Winter all over. This particular blizzard ranked 5th all-time for Chicago and the schools are still closed today, even my college. (Still doing work though plus Packet Tracer's kind of fun [])
Anyway I'll head out to help get a few neighbors out of the snow, mostly the elderly.
Stay warm everyone !!!
As to tires, I stick with Mud and Snow all year round. Michelin's are my favorite brand !!!
It has been rough on most of the people in my building as everyone is over 65. Been doing a lot of food shopping for them lately.

Thanks for sharing! :D

The dude on the right is casting shadows on both sides of his body ... woah
It's hard to believe now in an age of 3D imaging, but before this time it was believed that ginger bread men were completely flat.
All the gingerbread men on the left look like they are Eskimos
There's a subtle undertone to this shirt. It's not at all what we think it's about. There are nine individuals. Cats have nine lives. There's milk involved and cats like milk. The one on the table is obviously not feline well.
This has something to do with cats.
At first I thought they were pilgrim gingerbread men and I was weirded it out because I couldn't figure out what the connection was to Thanksgiving.

this is very disturbing... especially since they're starting with the crotch...
NightGhost wrote:I just wanted to know - the Gingerbread Man predates Rembrandt
So that's why they hung him - he was a pre-dator!
Why are they smiling? It's obvious! You always smile when you have your picture taken ....
(unless you're either dead or mister cool on the far left "I don't want to look at the camera much less smile for it!")
the real question should be, why are none of the gingerbreads giving any of the other gingerbreads bunny ears?
"Sadly, this experimentation on it's own kind plagued several species. This was a dark time to be The Gingerbread Man, The Muffin Man, and also the lesser known (but still relevant) PopTart Man.
I am confused and sickened when I look at this shirt (plus what it is based on)... and I can't help but wonder "why was the shirt printed?"
why are they... the milks it's... but why are they... oh, my! That incredulous!
An inspired parody of Rembrandt's painting that also comments on the Dutch master's fear of gingerbread or being doused in milk. This works on so many levels.
creepiest woot shirt ever?
I just went on a trip to Portland and my host was insistent that we go there. We went on a Friday night and the line was huge. We're standing there with business men and hobos, meanwhile street kids are working the line for loose change. Police officers came and attempted (unsuccessfully) to chase off the kids, but they got into a see-who-could-intimidate-the-other-more-by-taking-cell-phone-pics contest. After at least an hour in line, we finally got in the door. But once inside, you're still 15 minutes away from the counter. Got to the counter, ordered 1 donut each, handed over the cash, and were out the door in nothing flat.
Definitely an interesting place. Lots of interesting (some sexually suggestive) donuts, good flavors, good prices, and plenty of vegan options.
I was also confused, thanks for the Rembrandt post! Now I want to get this for my friend who graduated with a BFA and teaches art- he'd get it, right?
Not bad, I like the originality of the design! Although, how many Pilgrims took anatomy? Hehe... That one on the right looks overtly happy, though. Makes me wonder about the lives of the Gingerbread folk. I hear they're pretty flexible with today's standards, morals and diets. Ginger is coming back!
***Thanks for that reminder, I knew there was a familiarity with this one... Phew, thought it was a past life, but it was just a past painting. w00t!
Paigeg is bored with cutesy takes on classic art.
I hate to be a h8r, but I can't get past it looking like they are titilated by pouring icing on his crotch. I know it's milk, but it looks like icing, to me...and Rembrandt's instructor was pointing out the anatomy of the left arm, not the groin!
Awesome idea, tho. Congratulations on the print

Voodoo Doughnuts now has a shop in Eugene, Oregon, too. Might not make much difference, but I figured I'd mention it since lots of people around here were looking forward to its opening.
And as for the gingerbread topic, they have a signature doughnut in the shape of a voodoo doll with a pretzel shoved into its chest. X-eyes and all. That's why this shirt may remind one of Voodoo Doughnuts.

Beware the Vashta Nerada, "the Shadows that melt the flesh"!
Not gonna lie, all I see is a gingerbread body shot
Classy idea and it's really cool to see a derby shirt make it as a daily BUT... the smiles on the gingerbread are unnecessarily creepy.
Alright, I admit I didn't "get" this at first, but I like it anyway. Would make a good conversation starter.
I guess the reference might be clear for art lovers, but I would think a lot of people are going to miss it and wonder PWND! is going on here. And yeah, those smiles are really creepy. I do like the design, but I don't think I'd wear this.
shichi wrote:Ewww gingerbread gangbang
It didn't need to be said, but that was worth stopping by for.
Definitely not in for this one.
I think since the original artwork is unknown to a vast majority of people, the parody should have more closely matched it. Mainly the expressions, and perhaps have the teacher holding a gum drop in some forceps or something.
If you don't know the original artwork this probably looks something like a group of necrophiliac gingerbread men with a milk fetish.
I still don't get what's going on.. Is that milk/cream being poured?
Congrats on the print though. I thought Woot didn't print Derby entries but I guess they changed their policy.

Yeah, I really don't get what the whole "pouring milk on the crotch" is supposed to be representing, but they sure are happy to be doing so.

REMEMBERING D-DAY: 70 years ago
- On June 6, 1944 tens of thousands of Allied troops crossed the Channel in a bid to liberate mainland Europe and deliver a final crushing blow to the Nazis.
- The mission, codenamed Operation Overlord, took meticulous planning, cunning deception, unnerring discipline and unquestioning bravery.
- Many of those who took part in the D-Day landings never returned.
- Today we bring you the events as they would have happened on June 6, 1944 and commemorate the brave veterans and the fallen heroes of D-Day.

United Liberty Paper talking to Niko Bellic.

|Portrait of a Killer and Weekend at Florian's
Dust Off is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by United Liberty Paper. During the initial cutscene, Paper explains that he wants Niko to kill a Russian who constantly hangs out in a helicopter above Middle Park, Algonquin where he organizes crime.
United Liberty Paper wants a Russian dead. The only way to reach him is through the air (above Middle Park, Algonquin) so he sends Niko on a deadly mission to chase a helicopter. Niko finds the target chopper and follows it to the meeting place in Western Algonquin. Bellic gains cover and ambushes the meeting, killing all the members including the chopper driver, allowing him access to the helicopter itself. Niko flies it to Francis International Airport in Dukes and lands it next to the Cargo Yard where Paper's mechanics collect it to install a rocket launcher.
After a meeting with United Liberty Paper, get a car and go to the Civilization Committee. A helicopter will take off. Follow it. Don't worry: you'll be on the expressway and should have a clear view of it. It will land near the sports plaza in Westminster, Algonquin, where six armed men will stand guard. Take them out from a medium distance with a sniper rifle. Use an SMG to get rid of the last goons in the meeting. Fly the helicopter to the airport. Two FIB agents will collect the helicopter and his mechanics will install a rocket launcher inside. A few in-game days later, Mr. Paper will call you, stating it's ready again and you'll start the next mission.

Notable Oregonians: Matt Groening - Cartoonist, Producer, Writer
Matt Groening (rhymes with "raining") was born in Portland, Oregon on February 15, 1954. His father Homer Groening, a cartoonist himself, encouraged his son's drawing from an early age. In high school he drew cartoons for the school newspaper, until he was dropped from the staff. He later attended Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, taking full advantage of the school's no-grade, no-required-courses policies.
Groening graduated in 1977 and drove to Los Angeles to become a writer. As part of his less than auspicious beginning, his car broke down in the fast lane of the Hollywood Freeway at 2 a.m. He found work for a time as a chauffeur and "biographer" for an unsuccessful 88-year-old movie director. Unhappy with his lot, Groening decided to send a message to friends in the form of a comic book describing life in Los Angeles. He called it Life in Hell and it soon became an underground success in Los Angeles. The comic strip ran in hundreds of newspapers around the world until Groening ended it in 2012. Eight Life in Hell books have been published over the years.
Noted film and television producer James L. Brooks, who also founded Gracie Films, showed interest in Matt's work in 1985 and hired him to work on some animated projects for his comedy series The Tracey Ullman Show. To meet the request for something new and original, Groening sketched a quirky looking family consisting of one father, one mother, two girls and one boy. He named them each after his own family members (with the exception of Bart, which was an anagram for brat).
This was the genesis of The Simpsons animated television show on the Fox Network. In 1989 The Simpsons debuted as the network's highest-rated program and earned critical praise for its wit and clever satire. In 1997 the show surpassed the The Flintstones as the longest-running prime-time animated show in history. It has since become the longest-running U.S. primetime-television series in history. Several characters in The Simpsons were named for Portland streets such as Flanders, Lovejoy, Powell, Quimby, and Terwilliger.
Groening also created and was executive producer of the Futurama animated television show, which ran from 1999 to 2003 and from 2008 to 2013. Groening has been nominated for 25 Emmy Awards and has won 12, ten for The Simpsons and two for Futurama. In May 2003 he was honored with the 2002 Reuben Award as "cartoonist of the year" by the National Cartoonists Society. Previous winners include Charles Shultz, Rube Goldberg, and Gary Trudeau. Groening received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.

I am shocked at miley Cyrus I feel she is totally lost . Her family cannot be proud of her behavior on stage. Where is her mother where's billy ray does he have so little respect for his daughter. She is on drugs it's obvious there is a substance abuse going on here. I feel ever since she dicovered her privates she feels she must shamefully expose herself in a nasty disgusting way. This is not talent it is low self esteme. She has disgraced women acting like she's freeing her privates from being a child. What did she discover her body and feel she must show every crack to be famous. Someday this will come back to her and she will truly feel ashamed. I feel she has psychological problems such a nasty spank.

text: ACE offers several of pre-exam testing opportunities for candidates. There is the paper sample test, the online diagnostic test (or tests depending on your certification) and the short quizzes at the end of each module of the exam review. I frequently get asked about how accurate are these tests? Are they really like the certification exam? The short answer is…yes. But as usual, I also have a longer answer and we are going to focus primarily on the online diagnostic practice tests. ACE has an online diagnostic practice test for each of our certifications – Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Health Coach, and Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist. When you are preparing for your exam it is recommended that you take your online diagnostic practice test in the last several weeks of your study time. For those of you utilizing the Study Coach Program, this would be about week 10 or week 16. If you look at the description for the online diagnostic practice test it says things like 'modeled after the certification exam' and 'equivalent level of difficulty' and 'distributed by topic area'. This last comment is one you want to pay attention to. Remember we talked about the Exam Content Outline? In the exam content outline you will see that distribution of topic area – and it should be reflected that way on the online diagnostic practice test. For the personal trainer that would mean a handful of questions in the Professional Responsibilities domain (Domain 4), a few more in Domain 3, and the majority of questions in Domains 1 and 2 – Client Assessment and Program Design. If you're taking the Group Fitness Instructor Exam or the LWMC exam you should expect a similar layout to your online diagnostic practice exam. The other comment to pay attention to is the 'equivalent level of difficulty' with regards to the online diagnostic practice test questions. This means that the questions you see on the online diagnostic practice test should be about as hard as the questions you see on the certification exam. Not a lot easier, not a lot harder…just about as hard. If you find yourself getting tripped up by the questions or by the structure of the questions on the online diagnostic practice exam, this might be time to review a few blog posts. Check out the 'It's not a trick question!' as well as the 'Dissecting Multiple Choice Questions' post for review. One final reminder about the online diagnostic practice tests…remember that the first time you take the online diagnostic is the best measure of how well you do. The more times you take any sample/practice test, the better you may get – although it is usually due to memorization of the questions and answers! So give it your best shot the first time, and remember to let us know if you have any questions. You can reach an Education Consultant at 1-888-825-3636 x782.

PlayBook: A Short, Seven Game Series
The Sixers and Celtics are adding another chapter to a storied rivalry and it all comes to a head on Saturday Night.
Things can go sideways in a hurry in a short, seven game series. Just ask any fan of the Celtics or Sixers who have spent most of their lives crippled by a strong and instinctive fear and disorienting urge to kill, or at least maim one another at the drop of a hat or the tip of a ball. That kind of powerful sporting lust is rare and not one that is easily tempered but it is totally counter-intuitive to everything we know to be acceptable and right even if it seems like a good idea at the time.
There are very few friendly words fired between these two teams. The animosity is as thick as any London fog and it is bred in the bone. Ask any basketball fan raised just North of the Mason-Dixon line in the small coal-mining towns of Western Pennsylvania and they'll tell you that they've only ever seen in red, white and blue; that the basketball world starts and stops at the edge of the state and that the C-Word is seven letters long and worse to say than slapping your own mother in public, twice, and for no good reason at all.
It is what we in The Business call a well-tuned rivalry, a finely-fueled fire that is stoked every four or five years. Since the Syracuse Nationals skipped town in '64 and stowed away in the City of Brotherly Love, the Celtics have been the menacing horde from a few states away. When the Warriors got Wilt, the Celts got Russell; when the Sixers got Doc J, the Celts got Bird. When they got A.I., the Celts got The Truth and when Boston had the biggest, baddest 1-2-3 on the court in '82, the Sixers had the Strangler who buried the boys from Beantown almost every single time he tried.
Indeed. But those were the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days when a series could end after only two games and dropping an opener in front of the home town crowd meant certain death for anyone who smelled strongly of loss and regret. Losing an opener in 2012 is not quite as detrimental as it was back in the days of Doc J, but it is far from ideal; something like 67 per cent of the teams that have lost the opening game have gone on to lose the series.
Other historical numbers we might consider "interesting" as gambling people include 14, the number of times the home team has won the past 21 Game Sevens, and 100, which seems to be the definitive number of points you need to secure a Game Seven win and a number the Sixers have yet to achieve since Game Two of the opening round.
Offensive boards and leading at the half also seem to play an important role, with 19 of those 21 teams leading after two quarters going on to win the game and being able to contain the opposing teams' point guard has always been what you would call "keen advice" for people intent on succeeding in the basketball business.
Which seems to suggest the Celtics is where the smart money lies; they're playing at home and they've got Garnett. They've got Allen and Peirce and Rondo who is playing so far out of his skull with 13.1 assists per game, 6.3 boards and a healthy 15.9 points that it seems unreasonable to think the Sixers will be able to do anything with him at all let alone contain him in any sort of conventional basketball way. They'll need a net and a club and maybe more than a short, seven game series.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- This move was bought from GuarnateedPriceMoving.com. First Choice Moving was subcontracted to do this job and was the actual mover. The crew who picked up the items in Mesa, AZ, said that quite a few things needed to be packed and that the price would $300, they called back and said $450, then again and said the price ended up to be $700 to do that packing. I agreed that these things did need packing, that they should pack anything they thought required it, and I agreed to pay the money for that service. When the delivery driver arrived at this end there were a number of problems:
-Helpers to unload the truck never arrived, so the driver and a small woman companion (his wife perhaps) attempted to unload the truck and deliver to my house. This resulted in numerous items being dropped and dragged and damaged because they were too big or heavy for them to handle safely alone.
-I watched as a number of my boxes were accidentally dropped from the truck to the cement (off the edge of the ramp, breaking the boxes and spilling, in one case, a $1500 piece of electronic gear into the street. Also I watched the lady lose control of her dolly and bang my $1000 bed on the pavement, chipping a corner out of the leg. The driver dragged my couch across the cement and ripped the back of it.
-They failed to set up the items they were supposed to put back together. The beds, the TV stand, the end table, the coffee table, and the Kitchen table. I finally had to insist that they put the kitchen table together before they left. When I asked them about the coffee table the driver went and got a screw driver and handed it to me. -The driver did not arrive until after 6:00 pm to start unloading. That meant that they were unloading in the dark. I got up the next morning and looked outside to find they had left furniture outside in the front yard when they left.
-The packing job was the worst that I have ever seen. Even the driver commented that he had never seen anything quite like it. $300 lamps were thrown (unprotected) into a box with garden shovels and allowed to rattle around -- of course they were damaged (this was a 1st Choice packing box). Lamp shades were folded and crammed inside other pieces of furniture.
Numerous pieces of lamps and furniture that were taken apart - never arrived, making the items useless. A number of ceramic pots broken. Some pots did not arrive at all, the artificial plants that were in them arrived w/ no pots. Large framed pictures were placed into boxes with no dividers between- a number were broken. All of the above were items they supposedly packed, were in their labeled boxes, - and are therefore responsible for. These are not items I packed-- they are the things I paid $700 to have protected. A $500 rifle w/ a $300 case was stolen from the load and never arrived.
The list: rip in back of love seat, scuff marks across the front of sofa, scratched coffee table, scratched end table, scratched dresser, scratched night stand, 2 broken pots, 1 missing pot. All artificial plants damaged - many just ripped to shreds and had to be thrown away. Many pieces totally missing. $300 TV stand taken apart by movers and parts not delivered, making it unusable. Box spring/mattress stand for bed missing half the casters making it unusable.
Scratched stereo speaker and subwoofer. Damaged guitar case and amp. Dings in the television. Scratches in kitchen table. 2 lamps taken apart but the parts are missing. $300 lamp damaged as described above. 3 pictures with broken glass in the frames. Dining chairs show rub spots through the finish. One dining chair leg pulled off. Rifle is missing. All of the wires for the stereo system are missing so I there must be other boxes that did not arrive. Boxes of DVD's never arrived (stolen also I guess).
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- 1st Choice Movers should be your last if you want your items delivered undamaged and within a reasonable amount of time. We called and listed our items, they give you a quote over the phone. ** told us to just call back if anything changed (we told him we were trying to sell a couple of big items before the move) and he would make the adjustment. I had called/emailed ** twice the week before the movers arrived to try to get our inventory updated, and I received no response. I tried to explain that to the head of the mover crew and he said we had to deal with him now. ** had nothing to do with it.
We still had the items we hoped to sell and had not had our estimate adjusted. Every single item you plan to move has to be on their inventory to get the price they quote you (the estimate is binding for only items specifically identified in the estimate). Otherwise, they give you a new estimate on the spot. In hindsight, it is a bit sketchy. We did the "cubic footage" option. The company has a link to the Better Business Bureau on their site that didn't work. A clue we should have paid attention to.
We end up having limited options as we had set a moving date the day before we had to be out of our house and realized we might have made a mistake in hiring this company. It was stressful and we accepted the adjustment (additional $1294) and they packed our stuff. The moving crew at our home did a nice job packing and took good care of our items. We had packed some of our things in heavy-duty file boxes.
They will not guarantee any item you pack yourself, FYI. Then we found out that while they tell you it is 7-14 days for delivery, (from the first date available for delivery that you give them) it also says that it may be up to 21 days due to unexpected delays such as inclement weather, natural disaster, etc. Or in our case, it wasn't convenient.
Our delivery was delayed and when it was to be delivered. The first time they called and said it weighed too much so they would split the delivery. They did not end up sending it that time. They had a new load coming up to our area so we would be on that trip. They would let us know. Didn't hear back so I called them. They had tried again but there was not enough room. Then the "Experienced Moving Teams" were our next experience. That is where we decided to write the complaint. The crew who packed us, I would consider them as experienced movers. The ones the company sent with our delivery were not.
The first delivery men put all of our boxes in the living room - we had to pay an extra $50 if we wanted them to go up/down the stairs. Our boxes were broken, some taped together because they could not hold together. It looked like they had been thrown and dropped. Broken boxes, boxes so beat up that they had holes in them with stuff coming out.
When we started unpacking these boxes, we threw away a lot of what was in them, broken pottery, Christmas ornaments, picture frames, messed up books. The two that were taped together, the items on the inside look like they had been picked up and thrown inside. Not how they had been packed. We figure this was the non-guarantee of how they treat boxes they did not pack. The second crew finally arrived.
Furniture was broken and we found pieces of it outside on the lawn. The man putting our bedroom set together did not read the instruction book we gave him for the furniture. He drilled multiple holes in our bed frame, broke a large piece of the headboard and broke off a part of the sideboard. Absolutely unbelievable. Problem is, the furniture was wood and some pressed board. They do not cover pressed board. It is something you sign off on so they can destroy it all they want. The dresser leg was outside on the lawn the next day, and we found the corner of the other dresser on the floor behind the dresser the next day.
Our gorgeous kitchen table had areas where the wood had been scraped off. The boxes had stickers on them when they were packed, but many of them did not have stickers when they arrived and between the two deliveries, it made it difficult to keep track. After completely unpacking, we realized we were missing boxes. I emailed the issues to our relocation specialist, **. No response.
I strongly suggest going with a company that is professional and accountable. Shop around, be a smarter consumer than we were. Make sure they come to your house and you meet your movers. We were treated so nicely in the beginning. Once we had paid we felt they had little accountability to us. As we unpacked I was just more and more angry as we discovered that they took such poor care of things that meant something to us. FIND ANOTHER COMPANY TO MOVE YOU. Don't believe the nice letters on their site about how wonderful they are as movers!
CALIFORNIA -- First choice Moving and Storage had quoted me a $1200 move. They picked up my items in California and were supposed to deliver them to Tennessee. This was 4 months ago and I still have not received my furniture. I knew from the moment they arrived at the storage unit and called me telling me there was no way they could move my items. I was not there so I didn't know what was going on. My friend was there for me and said they were extremely mean and they were giving him a hard time. Finally after being there for 3 hours, they put my items in the truck and had my friend sign a contract. It said $1200 on it.
Later, they crossed out the amount and wrote in $3500 and said that there are more items than I had originally told them. When asked what items they spoke of, they couldn't tell me. They were supposed to do a detailed inventory of my items and they didn't, probably so they can steal my items and sell them for their own profit. They never delivered my items.
And now, 4 months later, they are still in California in a place where they stored them, and will not release them to me. They didn't even deliver them to TN. And they say I owe them $1150 just to get them out of the storage unit in CA. My lawyers have been back and forth and the company will not return any calls, will not send an invoice, nothing. SO I don't even know if they still have my items. DO NOT have this company move your items. It has been living hell from them for the past 4 months and I am sure once, if ever, I receive my items, they will not be in the shape I left them in.
If I would have known more about this company I would have never gone with them in the first place. They quote a low price, but change it once they have your items in their hands. Also they have had their license revoked on numerous occasions and have been kicked out of the BBB a few times as well. You can always buy your way back in. They are a JOKE. PLEASE, do not use this company if you value your items, or your money at all. Don't help keep them in business. Find another company.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- This was the worst moving experience I have ever had. From the very beginning, they were rude, unprofessional, and dishonest. They quoted me for my move from Florida to New Jersey with full packing at $2800. To make a very long story short. On the contracted day of the move, nobody showed up. When I called the office, nobody answered. When I called the driver, he was in Jacksonville and had no idea about my move. He said he could be there 2 days later. This caused me to miss 2 days of work at my new job in New York.
When they finally came, they were completely unprepared for a full packing job. The office did not tell the movers that we requested full packing with materials. The foreman came with two untrained movers who had never done a move. When they finally started moving out things, things were thrown around, jammed into boxes and treated very poorly. I witnessed the foreman first hand throwing very valuable books into boxes carelessly. Everything was finally packed 11 hours later which is inexcusable. The total bill was $4500!
Even though we had a written estimate that was binding could not be overpriced, they did so anyway and I had no option but to sign the paper because they had everything we own in a truck. When our things arrived 1 month later in New Jersey, a contracted company hired by First Choice moved our things in. They made me pay up front even though I wanted to make sure everything was there first.
They refused to work until I paid the balance. When the move was done, I wanted to go line by line to make sure everything was there, but the mover refused and said he already did that. How am I to believe him? Overall, this was a horrible experience and I need to be repaid for overcharging me and for the days I missed at work because they were late from the contracted move date. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
I'm always suspicious of people that vent about bad moving companies online as with something so complex, there's bound to be one or two horror stories. However, this company is so unprofessional and unreliable that I felt compelled to add to the list of bad reports. Throughout the process, they were a bit sketchy, didn't return phone calls, couldn't tell me how they'd adjust the quote, etc. Two days before my move, they called at 9:30 at night to say they were double booked. And then to ask if they were supposed to come the next day. "No, two days." I told them. "OK, we'll be there and we'll call in the morning with the exact time."
After I didn't hear from them the next day, I left several messaged to no avail. When I got through to someone at 4 pm, he transferred me to dispatch who said they wouldn't be able to send a truck my way for 5 more days! They gave me the runaround of reasons, transferred me through several departments, called the woman who had called the night before, all to no avail. My move had been on the books for months, and 18 hours before they tell me they don't have a truck, and only because I called them!
I eventually got it out of them that they didn't have enough business to route a truck my way, I guess. However, the way the situation was handled was hugely unprofessional. I had to be out the next day, so rented the closest U-haul and loaded my stuff and drove it myself. Please choose a different moving company. The more one looks into First Choice, the clearer it becomes that they are unreliable. After reading more reviews, I'm almost relieved that they didn't move my things given how other people's belongings were treated.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Moving is difficult no matter what. Across town or across the country. The employees of First Choice Moving in Phoenix, AZ made my cross country move a total nightmare.
My complaint list starting with the pick up. I was misquoted over the phone. The moving costs ended up being double the quote. It took 4 men 4 hours to load an already packed 10 x 10 storage unit. I was asked when I wanted my items delivered. I told the foreman July 22nd. He said it would arrive then. 7 days later, after no sign of my stuff, I received a phone call informing me that the driver would be arriving sometime between August 4th and 6th. Two weeks!! I had none of my things. Had it not been for my boyfriend I would be sleeping in a motel I wouldn't be able to afford.
Saturday, August 3rd, the driver called me to tell me he would be arriving with my things the next day. My complex does not allow commercial vehicles on property on Sundays for the residents peace of mind. I kindly asked him if the delivery could be made on Monday. He was curt and gave me so much attitude. I am now being charged $250 dollars by the property managers.
After waiting patiently until 1 PM on Sunday I finally received the drivers call, telling me he won't be arriving until 7PM!!! Again, I kindly asked him to consider an early morning delivery on Monday. It is pouring in my new town and I will be alone with a number of strange men in my new home. My boyfriend works nights and I don't know anyone in this town. I am in no way comfortable with any part of this situation.
God only knows what condition my antique furniture will be returned to me in. No matter how nice they seem over the phone, this company is crap. As difficult and expensive as it would have been, I wish I had rented a U-haul and done it myself.
ARIZONA -- Stay away from this company!!! They came to pick up our stuff on the 31st of July and today is the 20th of August and they told us the truck has not even left AZ. We are moving to Boston. They told us it was going to be about 2 weeks so we planned our trip to be there a little before that. First of all, they have really bad customer service they tell you they are going to call you back and you wait and wait and nothing. Last week they told us the truck was leaving on Monday 16th from AZ and they would give us a call. We heard nothing from them and Monday we called and they said the truck was not leaving until the weekend and that they would call us on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Again we did not heard from them, so today Friday we decided to call and they said the truck will not leave on the weekend. Now they said it would leave either Monday or Tuesday. They don't even have a reasonable statement why they keep changing the date, and they are not even apologizing or anything.
PHOENIX, AZ -- My name is ** and I chose First Choice Moving and Storage to handle my relocation from Tempe, AZ to Brooklyn, NY. I was very impressed with the level of service throughout my move. The relocation specialist that setup my move was very professional and was able to address all my questions and concerns. I felt like the individual was very knowledgeable on moving details and seemed genuinely interested in my move. The movers that came out to my residence were great! These guys took their time wrapping my possessions and handled my items with extreme care.
There was never an instance where I saw them tossing my goods around or rough housing my possessions. My items arrived in a timely manner and the movers took their time to reassemble all my items that required that process. Throughout my move, I never felt like I was just another customer. Everyone I talked with was informative and assisted me whenever I needed the help. I highly recommend this company for relocating out of state or locally because of their stability and professionalism. Thanks again First Choice Moving and Storage!
If enjoying having all your stuff packed into a truck alongside 3 other homes inventory and then mixed up and given to someone else this is the company for you! I moved only up the coast and they couldn't even keep my inventory right. They gave me someone's old dirty vacuum and lost all my paintings and wall photos. Not to mention they gave me $55 in claims and that took over 7 months! This is the worst moving company I have ever had. Your call... I'm just being honest, and trying to save anyone what I went though.

Movie Review: Olympus Has Fallen

If Olympus Has Fallen represents what now passes for a blockbuster action flick, man oh man, have our moviegoing expectations sunk to one helluva low.

Director: Antoine Fuqua
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: Millennium Films
Stars: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman
If Olympus Has Fallen represents what now passes for a blockbuster action flick, man oh man, have our moviegoing expectations sunk to one helluva low. For the record—and for those hopelessly nostalgic for a throwback to cheesy action movies of the '80s—here's the rundown. Aaron Eckhart plays the U.S. prez held hostage in the White House by a group of vicious North Korean terrorists while U.S. House Speaker Morgan Freeman tries to stay the course. Dishonored, trigger-happy secret service guy Gerard Butler gets summoned to pretty much single-handedly save the day while wreaking bloody mayhem and spitting out quips and one-liners.
In other words, what's being served up is warmed-over Die Hard meets Red Dawn on Air Force One with a stopover at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, minus the saving graces of humor, self-awareness and spit-in-your-eye panache. Look, it's more than okay that the movie, directed by Antoine (Training Day) Fuqua from a script by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt doesn't sport the year's most original setup. After all, this thing is jerry-rigged as a template for tons of action, flag-waving and rabble-rousing.
On that level, Olympus Has Fallen succeeds as fast-moving B-movie fun, complete with tacky, cardboardy sets, eye-searingly lousy CGI and special effects, lots of flashy hardware and firepower, a nuclear Armageddon ticking clock and heaps of hilariously silly illogic. We're talking enjoyably zany Independence Day-level stupidity here. We get smirky, ruthless terrorist played with one-note sameness by sleek Rick Yune. We get eye-flashing and nostril-flaring from ramrod tense Angela Bassett as the Secret Service Director.
We get shameless scenery-chewing by tortured Defense Secretary Melissa Leo, the movie's Shelley Winters. We get Gerard Butler going brutally mano a mano Rambo-style against those who, um, you know, hate our freedoms. "We want our country back" types should be in hog heaven. But to fully groove to the movie, you need to be okay with its junkheap jingoism, as represented by Butler's one-man, can-do army of stabbing Koreans in the forehead and recurring shots of the torn and tattered American flag meant to make us lament America's fall from grace.
For those with a sense of history and geography—Korea is not in Southeast Asia as this thing tries to tell us—the movie is a test. For those willing to climb this Olympus with a sense of humor, it's at least nervy, pulpy fun. Meanwhile, those hungry for a sequel can hold tight for Channing Tatum in this summer's White House Down, which is pretty much the same movie with a more likable star and a bigger budget.

I'm reading comments online that Buckfast crossed with Italians get especially hot. Does that seem true still? Anyone with recent experience? Is it still a bee not recommended for beginners?

Buckfast crossed with Italians is not a problem from my supplier. Perhaps there is something else in the mix too.
I have no experience with Buckfast.
But have read that they are a great bee, until they do a supersedure or swarm.
Then they 'can' get hot. This is only what I have read HERE. Do a search and read.
If you are wanting to raise you own queen they may be a questionable choice.
Old Guy in Alabama
I started with Buckfasts and they were feisty little buggers. Subsequently, I bought out an oldtimer that had Italians. I never requeen and let the girls figure that out on their own. I have done splits and combines, so now I pretty much have Buckfast/Italian mutts. They are sweet as the honey they make; hardly need smoking during a good nectar flow. The only time they give me any trouble is during the dearth and should one become queenless.
I've currently got Italians, and they seem hot to me. When I read those comments about a Buckfast cross, that was of concern, since I've got Buckfast coming. I don't want anything that might increase the heat of these girls! I guess it's just a crapshoot, eh? I know these Italians have built up super strong from nothing, and I know that's a good sign. Im thinking "Yay bees!" So I can deal with their "heat" if it correlates to their strength and survivability. I would like to avoid hotter tho.
Tia, how long ago did you buy yours?

I've got a package coming with an Italian queen mated (supposedly) with Buckfast, Carni, and Russian drones. Hope they're well disposed.
I love my "Texas Muttfast" that I have turned to a breeder. She has been treatment free since sometime in 2009. I do not know how much is buckfast, but really am proud of this queen.

Seymore, it was almost 10 years ago so the buckfast part has most likely really been bred out. They're real mutts. It's interesting to look into a hive and see all different colors and stripes. Really can't say what breed they are anymore. Okay with me as long as they keep building up and making honey like they've done for me over the years.
