Enthusiasm may be low, but now's the time to get ready for some late summer crops, writes Justin Newcombe.
Once all the flurry and excitement of spring and early summer is over it is easy to get a little disillusioned with the garden; it gets too hot, too dry and just too hard to keep up with the watering and disease management. The fact that most of our hoses are now metered also means that watering large gardens can become expensive, even when you are observing correct "watering etiquette". I have to admit that after about mid-January I slip into a post- festive season demise and find it a challenge to keep my enthusiasm levels up. What I should do is take a leaf out of my neighbours' book and hook into the garden just before the sun goes down, but somehow by then I've been sabotaged by other familial demands.
With our longer summers though, the good news is that if you can show a little more strength of character than me, you can still be eating summer harvest come March. But that's only if you get cracking, now! Hard as it may seem mid-January is also a good time to start thinking about your autumn garden. A bit of planning now will see you reaping the benefits come early winter.
Take advantage of the Indian summer to sow more beans, lettuces, silverbeet, spring onions, baby beetroot and carrots. Your main challenge with these later crops will be ensuring they get adequate moisture (you may laugh bitterly now, but what if that promised long dry eventuates?) With the warmer temperatures, seedlings should take off at an impressive rate and hopefully provide you with a sound stopgap come late summer, when everything else starts to look apocalyptic.
Beans can be direct sown into your plot as can any root vegetables. Spring onions are best direct sown as well. Baby beets and carrots are quick maturing options at this time of year. Remember, both beets and carrots benefit from a little sand mixed into the bed at the time of planting. Be sure to have a deep, friable loam for the carrots, breaking up as many of the clods as possible so that you end up with a straighter end product. Good drainage is important but you must also keep the seeds continuously moist so they can germinate. Protect the patch from fierce midday sun with some shade cloth. Lettuces and silverbeet will generally prefer a bit of shade so plant on the shady side of bean frames or under other plants that can provide some shelter.
Consider sowing some of your autumn vege now also such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery and leeks. It pays to get these crops sown while the weather is still warm so as to give them a good head start. Hold off on radishes, Chinese greens, coriander and mesclun though, as these plants will bolt in warmer temperatures and prefer cooler autumn weather.
If all this just seems too hard then don't forget your compost heap can always use a workout or you could start preparations for dealing with your tomato/courgette/cucumber glut. I can hear those chains rattling already.


text: Hey everyone, a soon to be beekeeper here. Just need to ask some questions before i get my bees Friday from Miller Bee Supply. My first question is is it ok to go 9 frame in a 10 frame langstroth at the start? I just bought some 9 frame metal separators from miller that another beekeeper around uses. i dont know if he started with 10 frames or not though. Also how much sugar do you think they'll take weekly? i got a top feeder and entrance feeder, if i fill both will they be prone to robbing? ants? i live in NC if that makes any differance. Thanks in advance

--- 192.168.1.100 ping statistics ---
11 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7084ms
As you can see, no targets were identified. Either they are un-responsive to ICMP requests or they are physically down. I assume the first. For more information on ICMP, please refer to the man pages.
Next i will use a series of namp switches to see what information i can pull from the target. Nmap by default(nmap x.x.x.x) will create a tcp connection to open ports and establish the 3 way handshake which is very detectable by firewalls and IDS's. Imagine your a firewall, and all of a sudden, 8 ports on your machine just had a complete tcp connection on them. wouldnt you be suspicious? hmm? Thats where stealth scans come in. more on this later:
root@bt:~# nmap 192.168.1.100 (nmap -sT 192.168.1.100 does the exact same method)
Starting Nmap 5.61TEST4 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-08-01 17:57 EDT

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 17.73 seconds
As you can see, the target has 6 or so ports open. Why is this important you say? Well, think of it this way, you just made a CONNECTION using tcp to an oen port... What happens if you know a username and a possible passwod???
Using the ping sweep switch -sP will send a ICMP packet and a TCP syn packet to the system as well since most targets are set up to drop ICMP:
Thats just my documentation of the hands on portion. i will be suing this info for a final report. Am i supposed to explain what the commands are doing and why in the final report?
thanks guys so much for the last few weeks of help and answers.

Parents would agree, the well-being of our children is crucial. That is why it is important to raise awareness about mental health issues affecting youth, to remove the stigma attached, to create a safe space in schools, so that treatment can be sought. Also, directly related to this, improved services for mental health issues facing children and youth is essential.

Mark Berninghausen
id see warranting its use in areas where they dont pull full boxes of honey on their flows. For sure the way to go,
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I've often thought about how the modern beekeeper manages colonies upside down from the natural way. In the wild, a swarm establishes itself in a cavity and starts at the top and builds downward. As nectar comes in, the bees keep building downward and forcing the queen to lay below the stored honey above. The instinct to swarm comes when one of two events occur; either the entire cavity is filled and thus what we call "plugged out" or the nectar flow is so extreme the ability of the nurse bees to build new comb is overwhelmed and all the bottom comb, which the queen would normally lay in, is plugged out with nectar.
Not sure what the practical implications of this are but seems like bottom supering, below the brood chamber, would be closer to the bee's natural instinct.
I've kept bees for many years, at one time commercially. I certainly understand the benefits of our system for the beekeeper. That's why I say there may be no practical implications.
But I still wonder what a controlled study of bottom supering would show in regard to swarming, honey production, wintering, etc.
I dont know MethowKraig, I understand what your saying in having the bees build down, as that is how I manage my early spring hives
but the hive does not utilize the entire bottom box during that time. That is why I will reverse my chambers in some years and provide that extra space for the queen up above. In the spring and early summer she wants to move up,

What is an ellipsoid shape?
Tear drop shaped.
Mark Berninghausen
Very interesting project, and a good opportunity to "think outside the box"...no pun intended!
I'd give a lot of thought to how bees build their hives in nature- for example, bee trees. I've always thought it should tell us something that a bee's preferred domicile is the inside of a tree with "walls" that are many inches thick, as opposed to the thin walls of a langstroth or TBH. It would be an accomplishment to find a better balance between the protection that nature provides and the needs of the beekeeper.
Thanks for the tear drop shape information. I would never have guessed it. I was thinking maybe something like a half circle, like a bowl turned upside down. I have often just sort of let the bees do what they wanted to and assumed they knew more about what they were doing than and I did and becides they would probably prefer I didn't mess with them. Due to expense I have only bought 20 frames and foundation. zI plan on making the boxes as I did 30 years ago. Due to heat in summer and only wanting a couple hives I will plan on permanent locations with the ability to use a lot of insulation to help keep things not so hot. The bees were living in an irrigation water control valve plastic box in the ground with the top cover at ground level. Again thank you very much.
Ellipsoid is another way of saying circular. this shows and example of a shape that would be considered ellipsoid.
A ball woudl also considering the definition ellipsoid is.
(mathematics) a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere)
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Abejas y miel, which one can find on Facebook, illustrates some pretty interesting beehives. Some which I have never seen before. Check them out.
One photo I came across looks like a HUGE acorn hanging from a timber. It's made out of material similar to what skeps are made from. I have no idea how it is managed. Maybe it is worked in a fashion similar to skeps. Or log gums.

The shape of comb built in a top bar without foundation is a slightly fat half football shape that grows fairly uniformly in length and depth until it runs out of space in one direction. For heat and material flow I suspect bees would prefer a similarly shaped top bar as the half football. Bowed rather than flat. Just the shape beekeepers would hate to build.
But then maybe the trouble with top bar hives in cold climates is they need to be flipped over! Who says frames have to hang down and not stand up.
All those bees who choose walls and floors to swarm into have it wrong, frames would never be straight or removable in there.

I installed two packages last week and not queen failed to escape the queen cage. I decided to forgo the direct release and now wish I didn't but what is done is done... Feel free to lecture me, this is my first time with packages (I started last year with nucs) and I am sure operator error was involved.
I would need two queen ASAP, anyone know where I can get some? I have called my local suppliers but this cold weather has evything slowed down and none are ready. Thanks!

Top 20 groundbreaking movies of all time
Count down cinema's most influential films
We decided to take a look at the top 20 groundbreaking movies of all time. These are movies that influenced writers, directors, the industry and audiences for decades.PHOTO: Flickr-P_Breen
Dr. Kevin Hagopian, a senior lecturer in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Penn State University, created the list. He also offered his expertise and insights for why each film merits the "groundbreaking" distinction.PHOTO: PSU
On this list, you will find films you know, as well as some you may not. The films are not ranked in any particular order. So, without further ado, here they are, the top 20 groundbreaking films of all time…
This one is a legendary blockbuster – Jaws. Made in 1975 in the United States and directed by Steven Spielberg, Jaws was the first modern blockbuster, according to Hagopian.PHOTO: Universal Studios
"Jaws together with Star Wars brought to an end the American Film Renaissance of 1968-1975, the most creative period in post-World War II American cinema. It's a well-crafted film, but its success has drastically limited the intellectual diversity of the mainstream cinema," Hagopian says. If you want to get the theme stuck in your head, you can watch the official trailer for the movie on YouTube here.
PHOTO: Universal Studios
Breathless (1960, Jean-Luc Godard, France): This French film influenced some of the biggest names in American cinema. Hagopian says, "This provocative, self-mocking, and stylish film helped to establish the French New Wave of the 1960s, and inspired a generation of young American filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Francis Coppola. Whatever postmodernism is, Breathless qualifies." Watch a clip of the movie here.
Double Indemnity (1944, Billy Wilder, United States): Have you heard of film noir? Well, this is the movie that started it all.
"A brilliant and cynical film that initiated the film noir movement in the United States, and eventually around the world. As the Coen brothers and Quentin Tarantino would tell you, film noir, now called neo-noir, is alive and well as a way of portraying the sleazy, the greedy, and the crazy – and doing it in a visually striking way," Hagopian says.
Easy Rider (1969, Dennis Hopper/Peter Fonda, United State): "This improvisational road movie was a self-styled countercultural essay—but perversely, it helped to turn the youth audience into a youth market whose influence continues to determine the way money and resources are allocated in the American film industry today," Hagopian says. You can watch the opening sequence of the movie here.
You probably recognize this image, but do you know what movie it's from? The image is a still from the film A Trip to the Moon. It is a French movie that was made in 1902 by George Melies. "George Melies' epic fantasies first used the magical properties of cinema itself, such as stop action photography, to spin a new kind of magic that no other artistic medium could achieve," says Hagopian.
This 1902 classic's influence is still felt today. "As Martin Scorsese's hero-worshiping film Hugo shows, Melies is truly the patron saint of modern special effects cinema. Every herd of jogging dinosaurs and exploding asteroids in the contemporary summer blockbuster is a wink at George Melies," Hagopian says. The movie is only about 10 minutes long. You can watch it here.PHOTO: YouTube
Another movie that influenced the industry for more than a century is D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, which was made in the United States in 1915. In fact, Hagopian says it's "the single most influential film of all time."
The silent film was based on a novel and play called The Clansman by Thomas Dixon. The movie was banned in several cities and prompted outcry because of its portrayal of African American men, who were played by white actors in blackface.
Hagopian says The Birth of a Nation "transformed the American film business into a modern commercial media industry."
"The film was as socially influential as it was economically successful—an essential and horrific document in the history of American racism," says Hagopian. You can watch the film here.
Next on the list are two of the greatest "family" films of all time -- The Godfather I & II (1972, 1974, Francis Coppola, United State). "Coppola's saga remains a primary experience for every film student, and by consensus one of the most acute and critical portraits of the American story of immigration, crime, and economic success in any medium," says Hagopian.PHOTO: Paramount Pictures
You can watch the official trailer for The Godfather here.
PHOTO: Paramount Pictures
"The Great Train Robbery" (1903, Edwin S. Porter, United State): Even though it was made more than 110 years ago, this might be the perfect film for the attention-span challenged audiences of today – it's only 11 minutes long. Hagopian says the short narrative film is one of the earliest Westerns.
"(It) hastened the shift away from film as a brilliant novelty to a commodity, as film storytelling now took on a systematic aspect, a contract shared between filmmaker and viewer that's still in force today," Hagopian said. You can watch the whole movie here pardner.
One of the most influential movies of all time was made in Pennsylvania. It was Night of the Living Dead (1958, George Romero, United States).
"Pennsylvania's contribution to this list started as a no-budget, underground horror film -- whose popularity, in spite of its gore and the fact that it hardly ever played 'real' movie houses at normal times, inspired the entire modern American independent film movement," said Hagopian. Watch the whole movie here.
Primary (1960, Robert Drew, United State): "A media-savvy presidential candidate, John F. Kennedy, allowed a young documentarian, Robert Drew, unprecedented access to his campaign. Drew used new, lightweight cameras and sound equipment developed for television news. The campaign itself -- the 1960 Democratic primary in Wisconsin -- was forgettable, but the intimacy and `off-camera' feel of celebrities letting down their guard has proved to be indelible," says Hagopian.PHOTO: Wikimedia Commons: White House Press Office
You can watch a review of Primary here.PHOTO: Jfk: Cecil Stoughton, White House
Perhaps you've heard of this one -- Star Wars (1977, George Lucas, United State): "Star Wars stitched together ideas taken from the films its director watched in USC film school to create a likeable and kinetic sci-fi/action film with an easily accessible and appealing philosophy, 'May the Force Be With You,' whatever that means," says Hagopian.PHOTO: Fox/Lucasfilm Image
"Star Wars established a cornerstone of the blockbuster concept – 'the franchise film,' in which individual films, such as in the Die Hard, Iron Man, and Harry Potter franchises repeat the same ideas, less important as individual narratives than as the pretext for a vast commercial enterprise across many media platforms," says Hagopian.PHOTO: Fox/Lucasfilm Image
If you're a fan of surreal and odd movies, you can give some thanks to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919, Robert Wiene, Germany). "This strange and strange-looking tale of a madman who controls a sleepwalking murderer looked like a fevered dream on screen. Its shadows and angles mocked the cinema's privileged 'realism,'" Hagopian says.
"When the film was screened in the United States, its small but influential audiences saw that film design could be expressive of character's inner states of being and knowing. The result was immediate: the American cinema developed a new creativity in art direction. Just ask modern surrealist filmmakers like Tim Burton and David Lynch about this film, and watch them nod and smile," says Hagopian. You can watch the movie here.
Nanook of the North (1922, Robert Flaherty, United States/France): Nanook of the North is considered the first, feature length documentary.
"From the first, the film had been used to document life but Flaherty's picturesque account of the life of the 'primitive' Inuit hunter Nanook and his family showed that the documentary could also be a sentimental document as well -- turning Nanook into a compelling character even as it reduced the complexity of his culture and social existence," Hagopian says.
"Walt Disney's The Living Desert, the recent March of the Penguins, and a thousand other romantic documentaries have taken their lead from Nanook of the North," says Hagopian. You can watch Nanook here.
While Nanook influenced documentaries, this movie influenced an entirely different type of moviemaking, pornography. Deep Throat was made in the United States in 1972 by Gerard Damiano. "This hugely successful film ignited the modern porn industry. Along with two other films of the era, Night of the Living Dead, and the pioneering Blaxploitation film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971). Deep Throat showed that Hollywood had totally failed to understand the idea of niche audiences, as well as their changing social attitudes and ways of moviegoing," Hagopian says. Sorry, no link to this one.
Rome: Open City (1945, Roberto Rossellini, Italy): "Filmed in the streets of Rome while Germans still occupied part of Italy, this deeply emotional tale of politics and betrayal immediately transformed world cinema. Rome: Open City added the term "neorealism" to the lexicon of directors seeking to go beyond the charm of studio-bound cinema to tell moral and ethical tales," said Hagopian. Please note, the photo is not from the film, but is an archival image of the actual German occupation in Rome.PHOTO: Bundesarchiv, Bild 101I-312-0983-03 / Koch / CC-BY-SA
"In the era of total war and potential nuclear obliteration the world needed all the moral and ethical help it could get, and the great postwar art cinema of directors like Satjayit Ray (India), Akira Kurosawa (Japan), Ingmar Bergman (Sweden), and Rossellini's Italian countrymen Luchino Visconti, Vittorio DeSica, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Federico Fellini would provide it," says Hagopian. You can watch an analysis of Rome: Open City here.
The Battle of Algiers (1966, Gilo Pontecorvo, Italy/Algeria). "The great masterpiece of the political cinema, this mixture of documentary and fiction portrayed the Algerian independence movement against colonial France. Not only a thrilling narrative, but a compelling picture of the world in the wake of big-nation colonialism," Hagopian says.PHOTO: PD – US Battle of Algiers
"The film shows graphically that one person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist. Leaders of every independence movement since have watched this film as a primer. And US policymakers were said to have watched the film before the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan to learn its lessons (some of them may have skipped the screening)," says Hagopian. You can watch the movie in its entirety here.PHOTO: YouTube
Scorpio Rising (1964, Kenneth Anger, United State): "You've probably never seen it: the experimental film without which MTV style would never have been," Hagopian says. "The film features collage-style editing of images that often seem random, but by backing them with popular music, Anger gets the audience to do the conceptual work. Still disturbing and taboo-breaking after all these years." One more note about the movie – it has no dialogue. If you want to watch it – it can be viewed here.
Anyone who appreciates editing should watch The Battleship Potemkin (1925, Sergei Eisenstein, USSR): "Eisenstein's revolutionary editing technique collided images in a torrent of conflict. For Eisenstein, notable as a theorist of the cinema as well as a director, movies occur in the spectator's mind, not on the screen," says Hagopian.
"Eisenstein's films of social tumult perfectly expressed the spirit of the new Soviet Union, but filmmakers all over the world have used his techniques to bring dynamism to their work and thrills to their audiences. Ironically, Walt Disney, a political conservative, was an early admirer of Eisenstein's technique. Every montage sequence, as well as every political film made since, owes this master of the political cinema a great debt," says Hagopian. You can watch the movie here.
Within Our Gates (1919, Oscar Micheaux, United State): "An enormously influential film that relatively few people have ever seen, Within Our Gates established the African American cinema, in a film designed as a riposte to The Birth of a Nation," says Hagopian.
"Throughout the Jim Crow era, and for long after, African American filmmakers faced a hostile mainstream industry; against this wall of disinterest, Micheaux went on to make over 40 films before 1948, virtually all of them self-distributed," Hagopian says. You can watch Within Our Gates here.
The final film on this list is actual history -- "The Zapruder Film" (1963, Abraham Zapruder, United States). "Abraham Zapruder, a Dallas tailor, took his Model 414 PD Bell and Howell Zoomatic Director Series Camera 8mm camera to Dealey Plaza to film the Presidential motorcade on November 22, 1963. Zapruder's film not only captured history, it generated history," says Hagopian.
"(The film) is the most heavily-analyzed 26.6 seconds of film in history, creating supercharged debates about what, exactly, was shown in the film, and whether it may have been faked. The Zapruder film photographed the death of a president, but it also presaged the end of a naïve belief in film's status as unmediated reality. Our Photoshopped skepticism in the unquestioned truth of the photographed image began with the Zapruder film," says Hagopian.

Ice-Rich Niche Block Collapse
This is part of the coastline of the Beaufort Sea in the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area in Arctic Alaska. Permafrost here is very ice-rich near the surface and coastline erosion occurs by thermo-mechanical erosion where once the sea is ice free the ocean contacts the bluff toe, cutting a niche that eventually collapses as a huge block of tundra mostly ice. This photo was taken between Lonely and Point Drew in late August 2008.

He plays through the whistle and has tremendous leadership skills.. I would not be shocked to see Johnson end up as a longtime starting Center in teh NFL...
Anyhow, heres Waltsfootballs Stock up/ Stock down from Practice wk at shrine..
2013 NFL Draft Stock Up
Christine Michael, RB, Texas A&M
Michael had a phenomenal week of practice and probably helped himself more than any other prospect at the East-West Shrine. The 5-foot-11, 215-pounder showed off an impressive skill set. He ran with quickness, power, balance, vision and cutting ability. In every practice, Michael stood out.
As a senior in 2012, Michael totaled 417 yards on 88 carries (4.7 average) and 12 touchdowns. Injuries kept Michael from playing a full season in 2011 and 2010. In 2011 before going down with a knee injury, he outshined teammate Cyrus Gray. Michael led Texas A&M in rushing prior to the injury. He averaged six yards per carry with 899 yards and eight touchdowns. Michael was knocked out during the 2010 season too, breaking his tibia in the eighth game. He had 631 yards rushing with four touchdowns and a five yard per carry average. Michael had 844 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns as freshman, averaging 5.1 yards per carry.
Sources told WalterFootball.com that the Jets, Packers and Saints were showing a lot of interest in Michael. Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson was really watching Michael closely in practice. Tampa Bay and Chicago also displayed interest. After his strong week, Michael looks like he has vaulted his stock into the mid-rounds and it is possible he could sneak into the second day. Sources indicated that teams believe Michael has starting potential.
Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State
The Penn State standout didn't receive the opportunity to play in a bowl game, but he made up for it with an impressive week of practice at the East-West Shrine. Hodges was a tough run defender who showed nice speed to the perimeter. He was physical in the tackle box with the power to take on blockers and hold his ground.
NFL teams love versatility, and Hodges showed that at the East-West practices. He played middle and outside linebacker in a 4-3 set. That could lead to some teams could play Hodges on the inside, but at the very least he should be able to handle middle responsibilities if an injury occurred.
As a senior, Hodges played really well with 109 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, seven passes broken up, one forced fumble and two interceptions in 2012. He still has room for improvement with shedding blocks, but with good development he could be a starter in the NFL.
Josh Evans, S, Florida
The Gators' safety was consistently good all week at the East-West Shrine. Evans was overshadowed by teammate Matt Elam last season, but he was a rock-solid safety in his own right. In the practices, Evans was clearly a good run defending safety. He has good tackling technique and worked his way into position to make tackles. Evans clearly has been groomed well in the running SEC to defend the ground game.
Evans also showed impressive coverage skills. He did a nice job of picking up receivers and tight ends. He ran with them downfield and had consistently tight coverage. The coaches gave Evans a lot of praise and a lot of teams were showing interest in him, the Bears especially.
As a senior, Evans had three interceptions with 83 tackles, three passes batted away and 2.5 sacks. With his strong week of practice Evans could be an early-round pick on the third day of the NFL Draft.
Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida
It isn't common for kickers to rise up boards in the postseason, but Sturgis could be accomplishing that. Sturgis was phenomenal in the practices at Mobile. He displayed good accuracy with a booming leg. With ease Sturgis was drilling field goals from 54 and 56 yards. It looked like he had the power to make kicks from around 60 yards.
As a senior, Sturgis was 24-of-28 on his field goals with plenty of clutch kicks. The Gators' offense was inconsistent, but Sturgis helped them produce points when drives stalled. It wouldn't be surprising if Sturgis got consideration on the third day of the draft as a fourth or fifth-rounder.
Jasper Collins, WR, Mount Union
Mount Union has produced some quality NFL receivers with Pierre Garcon and Cecil Shorts. Collins is the latest in line and showed some nice ability at the East-West Shrine. The 6-foot, 190-pounder is very fast and runs his routes with quickness. The East-West quarterbacks struggled to get Collins the ball, but he was regularly getting separation from defensive backs.
The success of Shorts and Garcon should help Collins. He may not make it into the mid-rounds, but Collins' receiving and special teams return ability could get him drafted.
Demontre Hurst, CB, Oklahoma
Hurst had a quality senior season and was part of a good cornerback tandem with Aaron Colvin. Even though Hurst didn't record an interception, he showed nice coverage ability with nine passes broken up and 59 tackles. He wasn't dominant, but he was consistently sound in coverage. The Sooners played Hurst in a lot of man coverage in 2012, so he is used to being on his own.
At the East-West Shrine, Hurst continued to show man coverage skills. He also did well in zone. He has plus flexibility to flip his hips and run with receivers. This performance should help him to be a mid-rounder.
T.J. Johnson, C, South Carolina
There weren't too many offensive linemen who had good weeks in St. Petersburg, but Johnson was one of the few who did. At 6-foot-4, 315-pounds, Johnson already has good size and doesn't need to develop his body at the NFL level. In the team scrimmage sessions, Johnson did well to open holes on the ground and protect the passer. Johnson held his own in the one-on-ones and had his share of wins. He also displayed a tenacious attitude. Johnson blocked through the whistle and was extremely physical. It led to some near fights, but NFL coaches love that demeanor in their offensive linemen.
This isn't a strong class of centers, so Johnson picked a good time to have a strong week of practice. Johnson should have the flexibility for any offense but may be best in a man power scheme. The good performance at the East-West Shrine should help Johnson to get drafted on the third day.
Honorable Mentions: Michigan defensive tackle William Campbell, Connecticut linebacker Sio Moore, Iowa cornerback Micah Hyde, Illinois cornerback Terry Hawthorne, South Carolina defensive end Devin Taylor, Virginia linebacker Steve Greer, USC defensive end Wes Horton, Virginia Tech wide receiver Marcus Davis, Virginia Tech wide receiver Corey Fuller and North Carolina wide receiver Erik Highsmith.
2012 NFL Draft Stock Down
Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State
The Heisman Trophy finalist proved that he is a great college player and nothing more. He had a horrible week of practice at the East-West Shrine. Klein illustrated for NFL scouts that he has terrible throwing mechanics and footwork. That leads to him having bad accuracy with awful ball placement. Klein also showed that his arm strength is lacking and outside of his running ability, he doesn't offer much. Scouts were heard laughing at some of Klein's throws.
Klein was a tremendous playmaker for the Wildcats in 2012, but he looks like a quarterback for Canada or the arena league. In interviews, Klein said he isn't interested in changing positions. Entering the East-West, Klein could have been a late-round developmental project but with his performance in St. Petersburg Klein looks more like an undrafted free agent.
Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
It keeps getting worse for Te'o. The national championship was a disaster for Te'o. He had numerous missed tackles and seemed to really struggle with Alabama's speed. Te'o also took some bad angles and had plays where he was unable to wrap up power back Eddie Lacy. Notre Dame and Te'o had the ball bounce their way a lot in 2012, but the luck of the Irish ran out against the Crimson Tide.
Now the story has broken that Te'o was either duped or complicit in the story of his fake girlfriend who died of cancer within hours of the death of his Grandmother. Te'o hasn't done anything horrible like getting a DUI, testing positive on a drug test or fighting with a coach or teammate. However, this scandal could speak to character concerns and questions of Te'o's honesty, integrity and trustworthiness.
Te'o should remain a first-rounder, but all of this could push him into the back half of the first round.
Duke Williams, S, Nevada
Williams had a good collegiate career at Nevada and finished it with a quality senior year. Entering the East-West Shrine, Williams was one of the higher-rated players on either team. However in the practices, Williams did not stand out at all. He didn't make any splash plays against the run or pass. Williams also didn't illustrate the instincts to be an impact player.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder totaled 106 tackles with eight passes broken up, one interception and three passes broken up as a senior. He will need to perform well at the Combine and his pro day to help minimize the damage. Williams looked more like a fourth- or fifth-rounder rather than a second-day pick.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of those small school kids today.. Earl Watford, Keith Pough, Jasper Collins, David Bass, Catapano..

Tooth development (in the form of tooth buds) generally appears in the fetus in the fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. Teeth begin to form in the fetus shortly thereafter.
Nutrition is very important during pregnancy, because your baby gets nutrients from your system. By eating right, you can start caring for your teeth and your baby's teeth as soon as you find out you are pregnant. Be sure to include foods with calcium and Vitamin D in your diet. It is important to snack less often, or eat sweets at the end of meals instead of between meals.
It is important to see your dentist during your pregnancy to prevent dental problems. Be sure to make a dental appointment before your baby is born. Even though your baby has not yet arrived, you are building the foundation for healthy teeth. Your dental health can affect your child; if you have cavity-causing germs, these germs are more likely to be passed on to your baby.
Some women have dental problems during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can make your gums sore, swollen, and likely to bleed. Brushing and flossing your teeth daily can prevent this. Having your teeth cleaned by a dentist or dental hygienist early in your pregnancy may help prevent most gum problems.
If you need to have emergency dental care during your pregnancy, you may need to have x-rays taken of your teeth. Always be sure to remind your dental care staff of your pregnancy. Care should be taken to limit or avoid nitrous oxide, some prescribed antibiotics, and some pain medications. Your dentist can contact your obstetrician/doctor with any questions.

Reviews of this property
We stayed very well in Athens: the apartment is so nice and my family (I, my wife and two daughters enjoyed itself very much. It's in a quiet and residential area and you're near by metro station (if you want, you can go by feet in the centre). If you want to have dinner or lunch at home there are all you need (and a supermarket nearby) and if you're tired and want to eat out there are restaurants and take away.
We are advising it.
My wife, two daughters (6 and 8) and I stayed in Helena's apartment, near the Hilton Hotel, for 4 nights. It is a very convenient apartment, with an excellent cost/value ratio, and close to two metro stations. The space was enough for us, everything was clean and wile it was quite hot outside, the temperature in the apartment was good even without air conditioning. We could not make a better choice.
it has been a beautiful experience in a lovely town. Helena has given full support from our arrival to our departure. the flat is nice, clean, with all facilities and, most important, very well located to visit Athens.
Nice little apartment for 3. Equipped with the most necessary. Nice close to the subway. Close to the sights. It's okay that this lies partly in the basement, but this should be in the description. Happy to recommend the apartment and look forward to return.
Fin lille lejlighed til 3. Udstyret med det mest nødvendige. Dejlig tæt på metroen. Tæt på seværdighederne. Det er i orden, at det ligger delvist i kælderen, men dette bør stå i beskrivelsen. Anbefaler gerne lejligheden og kommer gerne igen.
We enjoyed a lot our stay. Chryssa was so kind with us when we arrived. The house was nice and near to the city centre.
The stay at Helena's flat was great. We felt welcome and received prompt replies to our questions and requests. Everything is according to the description and the accomodation is equipped with all the things one possibly needs. The neighborhood is safe and several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are just around the corner. It takes not more than 5 minutes to the subway and all the touristic sites can be reached within two or three stops. I can recommend the accomodation and would stay their again.
Nothing to say, everything was perfect!
The location of the apartment is very convenient when you come for a conference, it is right next to the Hilton.
The very warm welcome, pleasant apartment, quality service.
Rien a dire , tout était parfait !
L'emplacement de l'appartement est très pratique lorsque vous venez pour un congrès ,il est juste à côté du Hilton .
L'accueil très cordial , appartement agréable , prestation de qualité .
agréable.t apartment in a neighborhood near the metro and shops. The apartment itself is a little disappointing. Located in the semi basement, there is little light. If you go over the winter months, be sure to stay well covered at night as the air conditioning malfunctioned. The washing machine seems to be there only for decoration and it lacks a space for lunch (no functional table for more than 2 people). However, the apartment is clean and adequate bedding. Good rental if you spend little time in the day. The transfer airport / apartment is well organized. Special mention to our driver Marietta, a pearl.
appartement dans un quartier agréable.t proche du metro et commerces. L'appartement en lui même est un peu décevant. Situé en demi sous sol , il est peu lumineux. Si vous partez sur les mois d'hiver, veillez à rester bien couverts la nuit car l'air conditionné fonctionne mal. Le lave linge semble n'être là que pour la déco et il manque un espace pour déjeuner (pas de table fonctionnelle pour plus de 2 personnes). Cependant, l'appartement est propre et la literie convenable. Bonne location si vous y passez peu de temps dans la journée. Le transfert aéroport/appartement est bien organisé. Mention spéciale à notre chauffeur Marietta, une perle.
We had a good stay in Athens. There are some very strong points and some points for improvement for this accommodation. Overall, I will stay here again in future.
1. Good and very safe location. Just opposite a small park on the main road. Syntagma Square is 20 minutes by walking, or 2 metro stops. Metro station is 5 to 7 minutes away. Bus stop is just outside the apartment.
2. Overall, clean apartment reasonably working appliances.
3. The land lady's mother - Maria greeted us at the apartment. Nice welcome, helpful nature. Spoke good English.
4. Enough street parking only a block away (two streets behind the apartment), if you are planning to have a car to explore the areas outside Athens. You don't need a car to go to Athens center.
Points to improve:
1. There is no toaster in the apartment. There is one sandwich toaster, which doesn't lock properly.
2. The washing machine has all the labels in Greek. It will be helpful if an English operating manual is provided (or a quick operating instruction is given).
3. Water heater (boiler) is a bit weak. Instruction is to switch it off before going to the shower and heat up the water again before the next person goes to shower. Water gets cold quickly, especially if you are last person to go to the shower. I visited in December, but I assume that this is not a problem in spring or summer.
4. Air conditioning in the main room only (which is also a room heater). In the cold season, bedroom room remains a bit cold.
5. There is no instruction given about the public transport. I missed a quick information such as name and location of the nearest metro as well as bus station, how to go to center and different places, a sketch of the area etc. Greeks are friendly and helpful people, so you will find this out by asking people on the street, but it will be easier if the information is provided upfront.
Conclusion: Good and helpful people, good and safe location, reasonably good apartment (a bit old) with all the apparatus. Good value for the money. Will consider to stay there again.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida- María at La Granja
Size: 67 1/8 in. x 33 1/2 in. (170.5 cm x 85.1 cm)
Gift of Mr. Archer M. Huntington in memory of his mother, Arabella D. Huntington, 1925:1
Sorolla was the most internationally famous Spanish artist of his day. Early in his career, he was greatly influenced by the realism of Velázquez and other artists of the 17th-century Spanish Golden Age, but he spent much time in Paris in the years around 1900 and developed a particular talent for combining traditional Spanish painting with the new approaches of French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
Sorolla painted plein air portraits with great skill and success, starting with his family and later portraying even the king and queen of Spain. This portrait is of the artist's daughter at age 17, when she had recently recovered from tuberculosis. She is shaded by trees that are not shown in the painting, but the juxtaposition of cool shadows with glowing patches of light is one of the artist's trademarks, as is the deft manipulation of paint into thick impasto highlights.

An international body that restricts the trade of endangered plants and animals added three types of hammerhead sharks to its list of protected species last week.
The decision to list great hammerheads, smooth hammerheads and scalloped hammerheads, all of which are still legal to harvest commercially off Florida, came March 11 at the World's Wildlife Conference in Bangkok.
The conference convenes under the auspices of the 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species treaty, or CITES, which has 178 signatories, including the United States.
The CITES listing didn't bar all commercial trade of the three hammerhead species, but they now can only be traded with a special CITES permit.
The annual migration of tens of thousands of sharks, including some hammerheads, up the South Florida coast made national headlines early this month and forced the closure of beaches.
But despite the impression that migration might have left, shark populations are struggling worldwide, according to a study published in the current edition of the peer-reviewed journal Marine Policy.
Author Boris Worm of Canada's Dalhousie University estimates that 97 million sharks are killed each year, with the possible range of deaths spanning from 63 million to 273 million.
Crucially, Worm estimated that the annual mortality rate amounts to between 6.4 and 7.9 percent of all sharks in world, while sharks only have a replacement rate of 4.9 percent each year. In other words, already depleted shark populations remain in decline.
Asia, where sharks are vigorously pursued for their valuable fins, accounts for an estimated 52 percent of shark mortalities annually, according to Worm's study, "Global catches, exploitation rates and rebuilding options for sharks."
Shark harvesting is much less extensive in the United States, where quotas are set annually, and where it is illegal to fin a shark at sea.
"We bear the most stringent rules anywhere in the world," asserts Bill Kelly, executive director of the Florida Keys Commercial Fisherman's Association.
Still, studies show that shark populations in the Gulf of Mexico and off the east coast of the United States are a small fraction of what they once were.
Between 1972 and 2007 blacktip sharks declined 93 percent, according to surveys conducted annually off the North Carolina coast. Scalloped hammerheads declined 98 percent.
Though they remain legal to be fished commercially in Florida and throughout the east coast, the three hammerhead species listed by CITES last week are already off limits to long line fishing.
Michael Heithaus, a Florida International University shark expert who coauthored the Marine Policy paper, said the great hammerhead is the most common of the three newly listed CITES species in the Florida Keys.
They're mainly fished recreationally, he added. But he said that because hammerheads are a very fragile fish, they usually don't survive a catch and release.
"It's a pretty good indication that when a species ends up on the CITES list, you don't want to go out and fish it," Heithaus said.

What a water saver By AZAlliare on 3/23/2017AZAlliare would recommend this product to a friendBefore getting the booster I could make 30 gallons of RO/DI water in 36 hours on my 35-40 psi supply. After the booster I can make 30 gallons in 7 hours. I'm now adding the second RO membrane system to get more water without wasting so much water. I'm in AZ and water is important here!
Nice pump By Flawedexistence on 2/24/2017Flawedexistence would recommend this product to a friendSince purchasing my BRS RO/DI system I've been somewhat plagued with low water pressure in the system. Usually I see about 45psig, which is pretty marginal so I purchased the booster pump. It makes a big difference! My psig shot up to 90. The pump is easily adjusted with a small hex wrench and I set mine at 80psig. Water flow is very strong now. I mounted the pump on the wall just below my RO/DI setup. Took maybe 20 minutes to install everything. Well satisfied.
Needed adjustment, but works great otherwise By J-Bird on 2/23/2017J-Bird would recommend this product to a friendThe pump itself arrived only putting out 60psi, which was practically useless for $150. The pressure switch cut off was only at 40psi as well. Thankfully I figured out how to adjust them, so now the pump puts out 90psi against the RO membrane and the pressure switch cuts out at 70psi on the tank side.
Working great so far, the power supply and pump itself is quite heavy and feels quality. Only complaint is the vibration is audible across the house, but I'm sure some anti-vibration rubber mounts will help. Also one of the brackets for the pump came broken, so it only has 3 mounting holes on mine, not 4.
Works great By Kawajetski914 on 2/14/2017Kawajetski914 would recommend this product to a friendI had a boosted pump that really didn't do the job. So I lost hope.than Aquatec 8800 was popping up all over the web.after reading the reviews, I decide to give it a try..well as you read above this pump does everything you need it to do. Save waste water pump out cleaner RO water faster and no Nosie. VERY HAPPY with this pump.
Awesome By Jason on 1/14/2017Jason would recommend this product to a friendAllows your RO/DI system to run at the recommended PSI instead of whatever your water pressure is from the city. Shutdown switch works great. Setup and mounting the pump is simple.
Aquatec Booster Pump By Brandon L. on 1/7/2017Brandon L. would recommend this product to a friendI'm kicking myself for not purchasing this before. In all my years of reefing, this has got to be one of the best additions I have ever made. Was at 45psi before and at 95 now. Water was a trickle before and it's now a nice steady stream. My unit vibrates quite a bit. It's mounted on the wall and is audible in my daughters bedroom up above my garage. Minus one star for the vibration but this thing seriously kicks butt.
Worth every Penny! By keith on 12/9/2016keith would recommend this product to a friendI bought my RO/DI unit and I was only getting 35 psi. Once I bought this booster pump, it is now reading 90 psi. It works so much faster and much better than it use to. The TDS is at 6 now and the best I was getting before was 11. If you are getting less than 50 psi, I would highly recommend this!
Super Quiet, low vibration - really works! By Jerry on 12/6/2016Jerry would recommend this product to a friendLike others here, my water pressure was down around 40psi. At that pressure, the RO unit is very inefficient and you get mostly waste water. I'm super pleased with this booster pump. I agree with the other reviewers, Even if you have "ok" water pressure, this will boost it to the optimum level for the RO unit. You'll get much more filtered water and much less waste water. It will extend the life of some of your key filter components too. I also want to mention how quiet this pump is. This pump is barely audible. All you can hear is a soft low thrum. It's also low RPM, so it has very little vibration. The vibration it does have is low frequency, and the rubberized mounting pads easily absorb it. I can set this on a table top and it doesn't budge. The power supply consists of a white module, with a fairly long power cord on each side (one running to the pump, the other to your AC outlet). The pump comes with two rubber plugs sticking out of the input/output holes. You really have to pull really hard to get these out. A note to that effect would be good in the instructions. The video doesn't mention this either. In one scene they are there, and in the next they are magically gone.
Wish I had got this sooner! By Chris on 12/6/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendAfter many years of using RO/DI units at typical residential house pressures I finally broke down and bought this...wish I had done it sooner!
Typical pressures at the unit would run from 30-40 PSI before...now consistently run at 90 PSI. The performance boost is amazing. Not only rate of creating product water...but rejection ration and rate at which DI resin is consumed.
Seems a bit pricey until you see what it can do...would never run my RO/DI without one now!
1/4" Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit Does what it says. By Joseph on 10/2/2016Joseph would recommend this product to a friendBoosted my pressure from 40 psi to 90. Works Great!

1999 'burb with 200k miles and the trans feels like it's slipping. Not a good sign, I assume?!?
Ok, we need a little more info like your driving style, how often you change fluids, the transmission, if you have a cooling system and other info like that. Slipping usually is never a good thing, but the extent of how bad it is slipping determines how we fix it. I've only felt my tranny slip once or twice and doing a simple transmission flush and replacing the filter did the trick.
I did a fluid and filter change 10k miles ago. The fluid still looks clean, doesn't smell burned. The truck is a 99 k1500 4x4 burb with the 5.7L in it. I spent the last month driving it pretty hard, since I had that bucking problem between 1 and 2k rpm... it might've hurt the trans. Now, it feels like a slipping clutch on a manual trans vehicle when I press the gas from a stop, then seems to "grab" firm around 2k rpm. I'm assuming that's because the torque converter is locking at that point?
The bucking problem may have put some strain on the tranny. Personally I'm kinda tranny stupid I know what may cause problems and sorta why, but don't have much on fixing them... Do you have a tranny cooler? Also do u use the truck for towing? Since you live in Dallas the tranny has to reach high temps, the number one killer for transmissions is heat.
No added coolers... just what the factory would've included. The heat hasn't been bad lately, so I doubt that's what did it in. I think i was the hard driving during my problem. I had to keep the rpm's above 2k for it to drive OK, so I'd manually shift it. I'd have to manually keep it in 2nd or 3rd, with consistent 3-4k rpms for extended time... but, the fluid still looks great inside. Oh well... at 200k miles, I'm sure a new trans was somewhere in its future!
Yah the tranny isn't usually dealing with those rpms during normal driving. I say if you replace the tranny you should get a 4L65e which is a bit stronger than the 4L60e but uses the same exact connectors, pan, fittings and has the same dimensions.

Riding the momentum of its Day One win, Nittai University ran unchallenged throughout the second day of the 2013 Hakone Ekiden to take its first overall Hakone title in 30 years, crossing the line in 11:13:26 with a lead of nearly five minutes over defending champion Toyo University. Nittai, winners of October's Yosenkai qualifier after finishing a miserable 19th at Hakone last year, became the first team in Hakone's 89-year history to go from the qualifier to the overall win. With its last winning team in 1983 having included future marathon world champion Hiromi Taniguchi in its lineup, Nittai's return to the top took on special symbolic significance.
Nittai's Yusuke Suzuki made a crucial contribution to the team's success as he started the day off on the net 750 m downhill Sixth Stage, running well in his Hakone debut to prevent last year's stage winner Takanori Ichikawa (Toyo Univ.) from making up the 30+ seconds he needed for Toyo to make progress in catching Nittai. From there it was a perfect team performance as Nittai's remaining four runners each ran the second-best time on his stage. With the wind shifting to give runners a second day of nonstop headwinds times were nothing remarkable, but despite the wind Nittai's lead went from 2:39 to 2:22 on the Sixth Stage before growing steadily to its final margin of 4:54. Overall it was a replay of the strategy Toyo employed in its three Hakone wins: a strong first day capped with a brilliant uphill Fifth Stage run, then a solid if not flashy second day.
Neither Toyo nor fellow contender Meiji University stood any chance of catching Nittai at any point. Toyo's Ichikawa immediately overtook 2nd place Waseda University at the start of the Sixth Stage and made up some ground on Suzuki, but after that it never really seemed to click. Only first-year Yuma Hattori, a risky choice for the 23.2 km Ninth Stage, made the top three on his stage, and with one exception on the Eighth Stage the team appeared to be in a holding pattern to keep 2nd place. It was a strong team performance, and together with Toyo's 2nd-place finishes in Izumo and at Nationals it is pretty clear that it is the all-around best team in Japan. But this time the magic and self-confidence Toyo had for the last four years under uphill star Ryuji Kashiwabara just didn't seem to be there.
Meiji was outstanding in the early going, Sixth Stage man Daiki Hirose running an all-time #2 time of 58:19 and Seventh Stage runner Yuki Arimura making the top three on time, but the breaking point came on the Eighth Stage. There Meiji's star first-year recruit Ken Yokote caught defending stage winner Kento Otsu (Toyo Univ.) and made a play for 2nd, but Otsu countered and cracked Yokote with a surge to reopen Toyo's margin to 14 seconds. Meiji's Ninth Stage man Tomoyasu Matsui initially made up ground on Toyo's Hattori, but late in the stage he abruptly faltered and slowed almost to a walk. National champion Komazawa University went by, then Waseda and finally Yosenkai runner-up Teikyo University before Matsui finally handed off to anchor Kaido Kita. Kita started, ran 20 m or so, then came back to ask if Matsui was OK before starting again. Kita himself faltered late in the race, caught by Juntendo's Masaki Hori just before the finish for a disappointing 7th overall for the A-grade Meiji team.
As per its usual methods, Komazawa was the dominant team over the second day. Only 9th on Day One despite having the strongest team by far on paper, three of Komazawa's five Day Two runners won their stages. Sixth Stage man Kenta Chiba was four seconds off his own stage record of 58:11 to win the stage for the third time and advance to 6th. Komazawa fluctuated on the 7th and 8th stage before senior Wataru Ueno won the Ninth Stage and put the team into 3rd. Anchor Kensuke Gotoda likewise won his stage to give Komazawa the Day Two trophy by one minute and spoil a Nittai perfect win, the Day One, Day Two and Overall titles.
Where the highlight of Day One came courtesy of Hattori's MVP-winning Fifth Stage run, the best moment of Day Two came in the race for 4th. Teikyo anchor Taketo Kumazaki ran a stage-leading first half to catch Waseda anchor Daichi Tanaka, but instead of passing he tucked in. Or Tanaka wouldn't let him by. On the Hibiya Street corner markng roughly 6 km to go Kumazaki pulled up next to Tanaka and looked him up and down, hard, three times. But still he didn't make a move.
With 1 km to go Kumazaki was a step ahead, but Tanaka pulled up to his shoulder. All the way down the kilometer-long home stretch they ran locked together. Kumazaki looked over his should at Tanaka every other step, and, puzzlingly, Tanaka kept looking back too. The tension built as the finish line drew near. Had they made some sportsmanlike agreement to finish side-by-side since nothing else was at stake? There was no sign of a move, and still Kumazaki looked. And looked. And looked. And went! And an entire country started screaming at the top of its lungs. I have never seen a last kick as dramatic, sudden, or entertaining. In a blink both Kumazaki and Taguchi went from cruising speed to full-out 50 m interval-speed the way sumo matches go from zero to 60 by mutual consensus. Both teams clocked an identical 11:21:39, but it was a laughing Kumazaki who got it with a lean into the arms of his hysterical teammates.
Juntendo University picked off Meiji near the end for 6th, while Izumo Ekiden course record-setter Aoyama Gakuin University could do no better than 8th with only a passable anchor stage run from captain Takehiro Deki in his final university ekiden. Hosei University, an unexpected 5th on Day One, held on to take its first seeded bracket top ten finish since 2006 as it landed 9th. after reaching Hakone through the Yosenkai qualifier like winner Nittai.
Most of the rest of the drama came in the race for the final seeded slot in 10th. The Kanto Region Select Team, made up of top-finishing individuals at the Yosenkai qualifier from schools that did not qualify as teams, sat in 10th throughout the day. A top ten Select Team finish would mean that only nine schools would be seeded for the 2014 Hakone Ekiden, so the motivation was there for the three schools in range, Yamanashi Gakuin, Daito Bunka and Chuo Gakuin Universities, to close the gap to 10th. Starting the day 2:13 back from the Select Team it was Chuo Gakuin who made the jump, catching the Select Team on the Eighth Stage. Yamanashi Gakuin anchor Junichi Fukuzawa made a brave effort to catch Chuo Gakuin's Yuki Yamada but could get no closer than 50 seconds and finished 11th to return to the Yosenkai qualifier this year. Along with Yamanashi Gakuin, Nihon University, the only other school in the field with a Kenyan ringer, missed making the seeded bracket as it finished 15th.
With the headwinds on both days, particularly the gale-force winds throughout Day One, times were slow compared to recent editions. Nittai's winning time was 22 minutes off Toyo's course record from last year. Toyo itself was 27 minutes off. Not a single stage saw a new record, and only one, the Sixth, saw runners breaking into the all-time top ten. And nobody cared. Tens of millions of people walked away from the 2013 Hakone Ekiden satisfied with more than their share of head-to-head racing, strategy, upsets and drama. Midway through the day American track fan site Flotrack tweeted a link to a piece by its Mitch Kastoff, author of an insightful comparison of American and Japanese college-aged men, lamenting that the focus on pure time embodied in new IAAF time standards was bad for the sport and would result in nothing but boring, meaningless races. I couldn't help but wonder, who could have been disappointing or bored watching Hattori's stage record or Kumazaki and Taguchi waiting for the other guy to blink? This was a slow-ass race, the slowest Hakone winning time in 12 years, and yet where we were three generations were on their feet shouting and laughing. As Kastoff would no doubt be the first to suggest, maybe what's good for the sport is not just pure time but pure competition, thrills and drama independent of how fast things really are. Like at the Hakone Ekiden. 40 million+ people would probably agree.

The Binghamton University baseball team celebrates after winning its second straight America East title on May 25.
Baseball team beats Stony Brook for America East title
May 28, 2014Tweet
Binghamton baseball is headed to Stillwater, Okla. for the NCAA Regionals. The two-time reigning America East champion Bearcats (25-25) learned their placement in the bracket as the team gathered May 26 in the Events Center to watch the NCAA Selection Show, televised live on ESPNU.
Binghamton will open against 10th-ranked and host Oklahoma State (45-16) in the four-team regional, which begins May 30 at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. Second-seeded Cal State Fullerton (32-22) and third-seeded Nebraska (40-19) are the other two teams at the regional and will square off in the opening game at 1 p.m. (ET). Binghamton then faces Oklahoma State at 7 p.m. (ET) and will be shown on ESPN3. The double-elimination format continues on Saturday and Sunday.
"It's a loaded regional and will be a great for challenge for us," 22nd-year head coach Tim Sinicki said. "These teams all have rich baseball traditions and they play at a very high level. We won't try to be anything more than who we are and I expect we will continue to play good fundamental baseball. Win or lose, we have a confident group of guys who will compete hard."
In the latest Collegiate Baseball rankings, Oklahoma State was No. 10, Cal State Fullerton was No. 22 and Nebraska was No. 24.
The Cowboys were the Big 12 Conference regular season champions. OSU's 45 wins are its most since 1999, which also marks the last time the Pokes appeared in the College World Series. OSU is making its 40th NCAA Tournament appearance, a total that ranks fourth all time, and the Cowboys own an all-time NCAA tourney record of 136-85 (.615), with the 136 wins ranking seventh in NCAA history. On Sunday, the Cowboys' run at the Big 12 Baseball Championship fell short of a title as the top-seeded Cowboys dropped a 7-1 contest to second-seeded TCU in the championship game. The Cowboys are 33-11 all time in regional play on their current home field and have won six Regional titles, the last coming in 1993.
Nebraska earned an at-large invitation after posting the most wins by a Husker program since 2008. The Huskies have played some of the best baseball across the country over the past two months, posting a 25-6 record over their past 31 games after starting the season 15-13. They will be making their 13th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and their ninth since 2000. Nebraska made five straight trips to the NCAA Tournament from 1999 to 2003. The Huskers made back-to-back appearances at the College World Series in 2001 and 2002, before returning to the championship event in 2005.
Cal State Fullerton ended the year fourth in the Big West Conference standings, and was in jeopardy of missing the postseason before ending the regular season on a seven-game winning streak, the team's longest of the year. The team won 10 of its last 12 games, outscoring opponents 67-21 during that stretch. Fullerton has made 36 NCAA appearances in its 40 years at the Division I level, and the current string of 23 consecutive appearances is third longest in the nation behind Miami (42) and Florida State (37). The Titans boast a record of 144-76 in the postseason, including a record of 94-39 in Regional action.
On May 25, Binghamton earned the program's second-straight NCAA berth and third in the last six years with a memorable 8-7 win in 12 innings over top-seeded Stony Brook in the America East title game. The Bearcats were four outs from elimination before rallying to force extra innings and then Binghamton won it when freshman Eddie Posavec hit a bases-loaded RBI single with one out in the bottom of the 12th.
Posavec's hit ended the longest title game in the 25-year baseball history of the America East. The win capped a gutsy showing by an injury-depleted Binghamton team that became just the second team in conference history to win four straight elimination games and the first to do so by knocking off the tournament top seed in back-to-back games. After dropping its opener to No. 2 seed Hartford, the No. 3 Bearcats rattled off elimination-game wins over No. 4 Maine (6-3) and Hartford (8-0) before edging Stony Brook twice with late-inning heroics. Binghamton forced a winner-take-all game with a 4-3 win May 24 and then exploded for a season-high 21 hits in the May 25 final.
The Bearcats are 1-4 all-time in the NCAA tournament. Binghamton made its NCAA Division I tournament debut in 2009 and went 1-2 at the Greenville Regional. There, fourth-seeded BU lost to 17th-ranked and host East Carolina 11-7 in the opener before eliminating a George Mason team that was "receiving votes" in the national poll, 11-6, for the team's historic first NCAA postseason win. The Bearcats then lost a second time to the host Pirates 16-9.
In 2013, Binghamton played in the NCAA Raleigh Regional, losing to College World Series participant NC State (4-1) and 23rd-ranked Ole Miss (8-4) in pair of tight games. The Bearcats collected 18 hits and Binghamton pitchers compiled 16 strikeouts in the two NCAA games.
Each of the 16 regionals features four teams, playing a double-elimination format. The regionals are scheduled to be conducted from May 30 to June 2 (if necessary). The 68th Men's College World Series begins play June 14, at the TD Ameritrade Park Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. There are 31 Division I conferences which received an automatic berth in the field of 64, along with 33 at-large selections.

Here's Jack White at London's Roadhouse in September of this year.
I tried to find video for his show at Lolla this year, but I was unsuccessful. I have audio. Just no video. That show was considered by most to be one of the best shows he's ever put on.
B.B. King is not only a timeless singer and guitarist, he's also a natural-born entertainer, and on Live at the Regal the listener is treated to an exhibition of all three of his talents... More than anything else, Live at the Regal is a textbook example of how to set up a live performance. Talking to the crowd, setting up the tunes with a vignette, King is the consummate entertainer. Live at the Regal is an absolutely necessary acquisition for fans of B.B. King or blues music in general. A high point, perhaps even the high point, for uptown blues. -- Allmusic.com

The incorporation of the Second Amendment and the precedent that commonly used firearms cannot be banned has called into question everything from may-issue licensing to assault weapons ban legislation, possibly making them as unconstitutional as separate but equal and poll taxes.

Arnnette is very compassionate and has a lot of love in her heart. Is easily liked by others. Slow to anger but watch out when the fuse blows. And usually knows what she wants and goes after it. Likes to be adventurous.
Arnnette is like a soaring eagle.

Thank you all for your answers on the other thread , I think what I am going to do is have 2 warres , doing one in a traditional langstroth method of mangment ( supering etc ) and another according to the warre book so to say . The more reading im doing i guesse im softning more towards a warre esque style , but i want to compare and just see for myself .
I do have another question though , in pretty much all the plans I have seen for the warre hive they all have whats called the quilt and a roof of some sort . I noticed I think its was Bwrangler who had his concept on his site for a warre and it looked like there was only a migratory cover on top and no quilt or roof .
What are yalls thoughts on that as far as feasability . I live in central texas ( Killeen/Ft. Hood area were it is warm and hot most the year( my wife who is from Korea says we just have 4 variations of summer instead of 4 seasons . Would I be better going ahead and making the quilt and roof or does it in yalls mind make that much of a differance ?
thank you again
