Now that warm weather is here, it's the perfect time to start planning your gardening projects. Growing things in our yard is always a daunting project because we have many deer in our neighborhood that eat most everything we plant. I lean towards projects that are simple and low cost because there is a good chance said project will have been nibbled down to stubs overnight.
A cute idea that caught my eye was the Bean Tepee on page 68 in 15 Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids (790.191 C678F) by Rebecca P. Cohen. With some climbing vines and stakes you can create a natural hideaway for the kids. To create a Bean Tepee, you'll need:
1-2 packs of pole beans or any climbing vine
5 fallen branches or purchased stakes, 6-9 feet long
string or twine
Arrange the branches/stakes in a circle that meets at the top and pound into the ground til the structure feels stable. Use your string to securely wrap the top where the branches meet and you can even wrap in between and through the stakes loosely all the way down to help the vines climb. Just be sure to leave an opening between 2 of the branches for a doorway. Mix new soil or compost around each stake and poke 3-4 beans around each, about an inch into the ground. Water daily and sprouts should appear in 1-2 weeks. There's a nice tutorial online courtesy of Mavis Greenfield at http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/how-to-make-a-bean-teepee/ . For more ideas, browse through Build Your Own Fort, Igloo, and Other Hangouts by Tammy Enz ( J 690.89 E61b).
And if you do have a deer problem in your neighborhood as well, the following is a good homemade repellant you can mix and spray. Younger children especially love spray bottles, so fill a few and send them out in the yard on a mission!
For 1 gallon of spray, beat 1 egg in 1 cup of water and sieve to get out white strings or clumps. Add to a gallon jug, mark your bottle – deer repellent - so no one drinks it! Add 1 Tablespoon of regular dish soap, 1 Tablespoon of cooking oil and 1/2 cup milk. Fill jug partially with water, shake to mix, finish filling gallon jug with water. You can also add a few tablespoons of garlic powder to increase the potency.
Leftovers can get smelly so refrigerate or set out of the way in the yard. Solution will become more potent if left to sit a day or 2 before spraying. You will need to spray after every heavy rainfall so if our spring rains persist, you'll need to be diligent. For more homemade garden solutions, check out the Giant Book of Garden Solutions by Jerry Baker (B635 B167g) which features all kinds of recipes for pest and disease control as well as fertilizing.
May and June are also months when you'll be seeing Monarchs returning North. If you'd like to attract butterflies to your yard, this is the perfect time to plant milkweed, goldenrod and other nectar-rich plants in your yard. Check out last September's post All A Flutter for more suggestions.

Sitting volleyball got its start in the Netherlands in the 1950s. The sport combines elements of traditional volleyball and a German game called Sitzbal. It made its debut as a Paralympic sport at the 1980 Arnhem Games, in the Netherlands. The women's event entered the Paralympic Games in 2004, in Athens, Greece.
Rules of the Games
Ten teams compete in the men's competition and eight teams in the women's. Each squad is made up of six players and five substitutes. A maximum of one minimally disabled player may play for each team at any one time. The teams are divided into two pools. Each team plays every other team in the group. The top eight teams in the men's competition and the top four teams in the women's competition advance to the knockout round. The winning squads from the semifinals go to net for the gold.
Sitting volleyball is very similar to traditional volleyball. But there is one main difference: in sitting volleyball, a part of an athlete's body between the bottom and the shoulder must be touching the court when making or attempting a shot. Teams are allowed three touches of the ball before it must cross over the net into the opposing team's half of the court. Each match is made up of five sets. The first four sets are played to 25 points. The fifth set is played to 15 points. All sets must be won with at least a two-point advantage.

Hi to everybody!
New to beekeeping .Reading for a while this forum decided to join at last.Hope to learn,share,and have nice time talking with people with the same interest in loving bees and their work.
Stelio, welcome to the forum. Γεια σου πατρίδα!!!!
Welcome to the site!
Welcome. I look forward to hearing and seeing how beekeeping is done in Greece.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
Thank you all for the warm welcoming!
Greetings, My son visited Greece a few years ago and brought me some honey from there. He loved the country and wants to come back.
despite my country's financial problems and the fact that our politicians sucks hehe,It is one of the most beutiful places for someone to visit(and not only the summer).Spring and automn are also fantastic season for someone to come.You should plan a trip here together with your son.Just an idea!
Welcome to the site!
You could say that about the USA too. I would love to make a trip to Greece and Italy sometime in the next few years Maybe if our politicians stop sucking so bad the US dollar might gain some ground and allow me to make that trip. I would love to visit beekeepers in different parts of the world and see how they do it there.
Beekeeping in Greece, is at least 4000 years old. They had beehives from clay, with moveable top bars, and the right <<beespace>> between the bars. The honey is mostly from herbs , pine trees and fir trees.
Officialy, in number of hives, Greece is second in Europe, after Spain. But unofficially I think is first, because too many beekeepers are not registered.
We have not ,thank God, any SHB, but Varroa is a problem because of the easy climate and the all year round brood.
Hi dear neighbour!
A warm welcome from Turkey.
Welcome to the site, hope to hear about your beekeeping in the futue.
I'm not tense, Just terribly, terribly alert!

Police accuse Springs man of stealing back flow valves
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police have linked Corey Miller to a string of back flow valve thefts that caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
Police say that starting in late December 2013 people began calling to report that someone had cut the back flow valves off of their sprinkler systems and stolen them.
During the investigation detectives identified Miller as a possible suspect and began monitoring his activities.
On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 officers pulled Miller over in the area of Dublin Blvd. and Peterson Rd. Police say they found 13 recently cut off back flow valves in his vehicle along with burglary tools and equipment.
Police say this investigation and arrest involved around 150 cases with damage to sprinkler systems estimated at $60,000. They say $20,000 worth of metal was stolen.
Miller is currently facing charges for felony theft and criminal mischief.

I was so bummed to miss Long Beach Zine Fest today. I had to work. Who went? What it well attended?
Los Angeles Zine Fest announced that Zine Fest 2016 will be held on Sunday, March 6 from 11am to 6pm at the Majestic 650 S. Spring Street. That is a little over 3 blocks walk from the Pershing Square Metro stop. So just under 51 days to get those zines written, copied, folded and stapled!
Gotta work that day. Sounds like a hoot, have fun!
#46 in the can...out soon.
Would anyone be interested in do a LA zine show/share thing? I have a venue we can use for free (my bicycle shop). Just checking for interest, any comments good or bad are welcome.
Sorry to post again, I mainly needed to remove/update my e-mail as to not get spam. I'm requesting any available zines anyone would like to donate to a forming zine library at the Lawndale branch in Southern California. All subject matter is accepted (pending approval by the Library and City) but please keep in mind the main demographic is teens. Unfortunately I can't reimburse you (even for shipping) as I'm already fronting the cost of this project (materials, PO BOX, etc.) so anything you can send is much appreciated.
Please send zine donations to:
Nina (Lawndale Zine Library)
14752 Crenshaw Blvd. #525
Gardena, CA, 90249
This project could mean big things for the South Bay, which despite having a long history with DIY/punk culture has very few spaces available for the youth. Any direction to people interested in donating or tips for library formation from experienced parties is also appreciated. Both the community and I thank you for your time and consideration in donating!
CONTACT: zinesbynina(at)gmail.com
hey all! ive recently started composing a zine with a group of friends and as exciting as this journey has been, we're still relatively new to the zine-making community, so i would love to know of any advice experienced zinesters would find it necessary to pass down to us. our theme is pretty broad considering we want it to encompass a wide range of topics: from underground music, the local skate scene, psychonautics, to astrology and basically anything inspiring/obscure/brilliant, and possibly with sociopolitical undertones....as of now, we're juggling with various ideas to form something that Flows. we're also interested in the zine printing process since we haven't delved in that thoroughly enough.
I am looking for ongoing submissions for an e-zine about arcade/nerd culture and the crossover into the DIY/punk community. The first issue of this e-zine will focus on losing your arcade virginity/first experiences with arcades.
It will be available for free online August 1st and the goal is to release it each Tuesday of the month. If you would like to collab, please e-mail me your submission by July 28th (two weeks from now). I am primarily looking for people who live in the South Bay or near Los Angeles in California, but anyone is welcome to submit.
Please share widely to interested parties or contact me if you are -at all- interested. I'm really intersted in finding this cross-section of our community and making this an on-going project

Do Good queens just leave the hive or what?
My queen emerged and began laying 18 days later and filled the whole hive with brood, I when I say filled I MEAN FILLED it. There was rarely 1 or 2 open cells uncapped. I was happy.
Now 3 weeks later the hive is very strong, I checked for eggs, larva and brood, NONE except for a few capped cells left. The hive did not swarm, I watch them carefully, This is the 3rd time this happened this season.
Also the bees were very mean about 50 stings on my gloves and as I walked away they followed me for about 100 feet. Sorry for the length, I just can't figure it out. Thanks

Fort Campbell -- Takedown Time
by Yvette Smith, Couier Staff
Fort Campbell Courier
Fort Campbell, KY | January 24, 2013
The Fort Campbell High School wrestling team honored their six seniors Jan. 17 during their Senior Night where they competed against Calloway County, Owensboro and White House, Tenn. The Falcons went on to demolish all three teams.
Outshining their rivals from Owensboro (78-3), Calloway (66-4), and White House (56-12) proved easy work for the focused Falcons and made Senior Night that much more special.
"I didn't expect us to be as good as we are this year, but we've been working hard during practice and we're accomplishing our goals," said senior David Sahms.

The blocks look best done with 5" or smaller squares. It makes a darling baby quilt. They are as addictive to make as yo yo's.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The blocks look best done with 5" or smaller squares. It makes a darling baby quilt. They are as addictive to make as yo yo's.
Got fabric?
Here's a picture of the block pressed flat. Mom makes baby quilts with them too...the last one was for a little boy and she use a variety of blue '30's reproduction conversationals. It was darling.
Thank you so much! I was there and wrote some instructions, but lost them for about a year. I searched everywhere on the Internet but did not find instructions for this type of Bowie block. When I did find my instructions it took a while to understand them. It is so nice to have the instructions and pictures. Thank your Mom for being so nice to us for demonstrating so many times.
A careful planned demo, great pictures, and a hand-out too. Awesome job! Thank you for sharing. It is a really cute block.
I love this. Thanks so much.
so once flattened you sew together and the 3d look stays?
Yes, the 3D look stays once the blocks are sewn together.
The YoYo ladies made these all week teaching folks how to make them. They handed out hundreds of the printed instructions.
What a great tute, thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!
If you see someone without a SMILE, please give them one of yours!!

Elijah Taylor didn't say there would be a "player revolt" at the Warriors. But what he did say reveals how bad things were under the former coaching and administration regime. Michael Burgess reports
It might be awkward when they meet for the first time tomorrow but if Matthew Elliott is smart, Elijah Taylor will become one of his most trusted lieutenants.
Taylor's honest assessment of what went wrong under former coach Brian McClennan was the first real, open look through those dressing room doors, even if what Taylor said when backing Tony Iro to stay on as Warriors coach was somehow twisted into a "player revolt" against Elliott at Mt Smart by some journalists.
"Some players' attitudes weren't up to standard," said Taylor. "I can't name names but they were a lot of players just coasting and not on their toes. There were players not working hard on defence and it showed in the way we played. It was just an attitude thing from some."
There were other factors at play - the coaches have admitted they tried to change too much, McClennan introduced too many young players too soon and CEO Wayne Scurrah has conceded that McClennan was significantly under-resourced - but Taylor's revelations are the most telling.
Elliott's principal task next year will be to build a winning environment at Mt Smart and change the culture that seemed to slip so dramatically this year. Rather than being looked upon with suspicion, players like Taylor can set the example.
Those who observed the team at close quarters this year were often surprised some players were able to shrug off defeats.
Taylor bleeds for the cause. Recently honoured as clubman of the year, he puts his heart and soul into everything and was visibly shattered by the defeats this season.
The Herald on Sunday understands that the internal rot really began to set in after the Brisbane game in mid-July, when the Warriors narrowly lost to the Broncos despite dominating the match.
"It was a really tough loss but a lot of the players didn't seem to care," said a source close to the team. "They were more worried about getting their jeans on and going out on the town - it didn't seem to affect them."
That attitude continued the next week after the team blew an 18-0 lead against Newcastle at home; some players were indifferent, knowing that they wouldn't be dropped. The final nails came in the loss to Manly in Perth, before the embarrassing 45-4 defeat to Cronulla the following week.
One senior player couldn't believe what he was seeing, saying in the same situation at most other clubs in the NRL "all of the team would be walking on eggshells and half the players would have be gone from the side."
The Herald on Sunday understands that in the team video sessions this season players were rarely, if ever, shown the negative moments from the previous week's match. Instead of being held to account for their missed tackles and tries that were being conceded, the focus was on the positive plays and what they had done well. Players would often emerge from sessions relieved, after thinking they were going to be called to account.
This was in contrast to life under Ivan Cleary, who generally only highlighted errors and mistakes and concentrated on what needed to change and improve.

Obamacare plan finally released; Update: Goodbye, 4th Amendment
posted at 10:45 am on June 6, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
And it's so large that Patients United Now had to split it into nine different parts, and to put out a bleg for an Army of Patients to scour the bill. The title:Quality Affordable Health Care for All Americans. And the first thing past the title?
[Note: Further revisions are needed to complete the work of integrating provisions into the existing HIPAA structure.]
Maybe they should have finished doing the actual work on the bill before introducing it. I haven't had a chance to look at the rest of it, but I'm certain we have plenty of Hot Air readers willing to take caffeine intravenously and put off seeing Star Trek for the 5th time to dig through the bill and find the land mines. Drop me a line or post a comment with the most troubling references, and we'll update the post as we go. In the meantime, watch PUN communications director Amy Menefee discuss the dangers of government-run, single-payer health insurance:
Update: Sorry, that's not Megyn Kelly.
Update II: It's worth noting that HIPAA ensures patient privacy, which should be a really big deal if we're letting the government run everything. Without knowing how or whether this works with HIPAA, how can Congress even consider this bill? Speaking of which, on pages 39-40, take a gander at Section 3102, Financial Integrity:
(1) IN GENERAL – A State shall keep an accurate accounting of all activities, receipts, and expenditures of any Gateway operating in such State and annually submit to the Secretary a report concerning such accountings.
(2) INVESTIGATIONS – The Secretary may investigate the affairs of a Gateway, may examine the properties and records of a Gateway, and may require periodical reports in relation to activities undertaken by a Gateway. A Gateway shall fully cooperate in any investigation conducted under this paragraph.
"Gateway" means "provider," and this appears to do away with that pesky Fourth Amendment, which normally requires search warrants and probable cause to access the records of individuals and businesses. Not under ObamaCare! Now, everyone belongs to the government … rather than the other way around. George Orwell, call your office!
Update III: Jazz Shaw mainly agrees, but sends a jab to my ribs:
A lot of these voices are the same folks that didn't seem to think it was any big deal for the government to intercept electronic communications without a warrant, even if one of the participants was a U.S. citizen. They also didn't care much if the Feds checked out what you were browsing on the computers at the local library or even the books you checked out. In fact, it almost seems as if there's no problem with such activity so long as it's a Republican president and he's doing it in the vague and ambiguous name of the "war on terror."
He finishes with a Victor Lazlo-esque "Welcome back to the fight" valediction, but in this case, we're talking apples and oranges. First, even the NSA program required some sort of probable cause to surveil a communication line, and the FISA court did have some oversight eventually. I won't dismiss this entirely, though, because it does touch on the same values, but I would also note that the NSA program was intended to catch terrorists, and not doctors who may or may not be billing the government correctly.

One thing that has not been discussed yet in this thread is technique. I have found that as my dancing ability improved, I have fewer problems with slippery surfaces. I attribute this to being able to get over my feet on each step, improving my sense of balance and allowing me to dance 'into the floor' as well as across the floor. This gives me more control under a variety of conditions. This is especially important with more advanced patterns.
I feel that working to improve your dance technique is a better long-term solution to slippery conditions, but you should still clean your soles.

There is nothing better than a weekend of knitting, great food and being in a cosy cabin up north with wonderful women. We laughed, we ate, we watched the snow fall, drank wine, sauna'd, and laughed some more. It rejuvenates my soul each time we get away, and I am so thankful to be a part of this group!

03.07.2011 Stitch Weekend in Ely
I spent the weekend in my favorite place with some amazing women. Our stitch group embarked on our 2nd annual knitting "intensive" at Northernair Lodge in Ely, MN. We spent our time together knitting, eating delicious food, drinking wine, snowshoeing, napping and enjoying the conversation and laughter that filled the weekend. As always, I left with a smile on my face, and memories that make me laugh out loud. Each one

My timing was probably a little off.
As well, I think some folks are probably still mourning the loss of José Reyes. There is another thread for that, and, although, it's still a very small sample size, Tejada is currently doing better than Reyes. It's very possible that the team itself feels a bit more coherent without Reyes. Tejada's not the same type of spotlight stealer, so it's possible the rest of the team has been picking up the lost slack as a unit. This I find refreshing. It may not last all season, but right now I find it refreshing.

KJZZ News Director Peter O'Dowd finds something alluring about Phoenix and public radio, as if they have always been a part of his destiny.
O'Dowd, who oversees all daily editorial direction of the KJZZ newsroom, took on the role of news director in February 2011, after serving as an assignment editor and reporter for the station since 2009.
There has been no shortage of adventure in his journalism career at KJZZ, which has taken him to Guatemala, Southern Mexico and along the entire U.S.-Mexican border.
Covering Arizona SB 1070 news has been one of the most exciting highlights in his career. Determined to provide KJZZ listeners with as many perspectives as possible, O'Dowd followed boycotters representing both sides, met with Latinos who favored the bill, visited churches that opposed it and spent months trying to find sources willing to talk about employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
O'Dowd was part of a KJZZ team that won a 2011 Edward R. Murrow Award for continuing coverage of SB 1070. He has also received Associated Press awards for news writing and several Public Radio News Director Inc. awards.
O'Dowd grew up in Phoenix and graduated from Brophy College Prep in 1999. He then attended Georgetown University to pursue an undergraduate degree in English. With diploma in hand, O'Dowd decided to teach English in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan. Looking back, he notes, "It was the most thrilling year of my life." It was also one that eventually sparked an interest in serving as an international journalist.
When he returned from Japan, he began working for the Peoria Independent. "I almost enrolled in graduate school to get my MFA in creative writing, but quickly realized I enjoyed telling true stories for a newspaper more than fiction."
With that, O'Dowd set his sights on pursuing a master's degree in Journalism from Columbia University. His introduction to public radio came about almost by accident.
"I took a two-week class on radio basics. I went around New York recording the sounds of bustling street vendors, college marching bands, and then wrote up short stories that were completely empty of news. All of a sudden, the medium opened up to me, so I decided to change my focus to radio journalism. I often think about how that decision changed my career and my life."
In 2007, O'Dowd moved to Wyoming to report on classic Western issues like oil, coal and wolves for Wyoming Public Radio and realized he had found his niche.
"I believe public radio journalism is the most compelling of any medium. When I'm reporting a story for the radio, I look for emotion in my interviews. Over the radio, grief and anger, fear and embarrassment can be felt in a way that is mostly absent from print journalism."

Another option for a finish would to be to brown it. Mix a thin paste from wood ash and urine. Clean (oil free) all parts to be treated just as you would to do a modern blue finish. Apply the ash/urine paste, wait 12-48 hours or more, remove paste, hand buff with oil and or wax and you have a nice browned oxidized finish. Keep oiled just as you would a blued finish. I have finished several black powder pistols this way. They still look great after 20+ years and you have a period finish. I'll try to get a picture of a derringer I did posted, probably be monday or tues. Got this idea out of a "History of Remington Arms" book that my old man gave me when I was a kid. Now if you really wanted to dress it up you could have to have a vernier tang site with a hooded front post to really make it impressive. Your second model could be a lever action AK.
Semper Paratus.

The problem I would see it having is in cycling.
Blackpowder is lower in power (per volume that is-it takes a LOT of it).
There would not be enough cycle power for the gas piston or spring.
Not from such a tiny cartridge loaded with black.
The spring and stuff would have to be equal to the ak-22.
Second-that thing would foul up and quit cycling within just a few shots. No kidding.
The gatling gun of that era, was only able to work, because of the many barrels and a non-self loading mechanism---in other words--you had to crank it.
Nice idea though!!!! I love thinking about how we could have won that war.
Even if this weapon would not cycle--and I'm not sure that it wouldn't, even if it were manually cycled to be loaded--it would have been a game changer in the Civil War. It would have loaded faster and when possessed by a company of solders, have more firepower than an entire division of muzzle loaders of that era.
It could have been built with the machine tools of that era quite easily.
Actually looking at an AK apart, it would have been easier to build than a Henry rifle or other lever/repeater of that era.
But with the gas port enlarged--and the piston size altered, it would have cycled quite easily, and it would have chopped down those evil damn Yankee like they should have been chopped down.
God bless General Lee.
God bless President Davis!
That's precisely what makes the whole concept so interesting. It's an example of the sheer genius of the Kalashnikov design.It could have been built with the machine tools of that era quite easily.
The USSR had never hurt for designers or engineers, but it was critically short of production equipment during the war. Designing weapons was no problem; making them was. For example, Simonov's SKS design is superior to the AK in almost every way... but it required a lot of machining and custom tooling to make the receiver and bolt. The Kalashnikov's components were smaller, simpler, and - this was the big thing - there are no close tolerances anywhere in the design. Headspace? Who cares? Just push the barrel in against the assembly gage, drill the hole, and drive a pin in. Precision cam tracks to unlock the bolt? Any angled slot buggered in with a dull endmill will do; the gas system doesn't care. Complex receiver forging with custom-designed finishing machinery? Just use a couple of small trunnions and stamp the receiver out of sheet metal. (some North Korean variants used a stamped rear trunnion, too!) You have a design that can be farmed out to a dozen different subcontractors with indifferent quality control, slapped together by old women, and still function in subzero ice storms or tropical mud.
Someone mentioned the LeMat revolver earlier in this thread. The LeMat goes all the way back to 1856, and it was at least as complicated as an AK-47.
There was a sci-fi story written years ago about some guy who invented a time machine, and then went back to the civil wars days with 1000 (or so) Ak47's--which he distributed to Lee's forces just before Gettysburg.
To say the least, they won.
If the AK in the Saiga version, modified to use 12 guage shotgun shell, works and cycles--so too would an AK in the 1860's with perhaps a .44 rimless round, and a 40 round magazine. A version of the Saiga comes in .410 gauge, and this is essentiall the same diameter of a .45.
As for the weapon fouling with black powder--yeah, perhaps after 1000 rounds or so--then it would need some cleaning. But I imagine it would fire as much as they needed it to work, before cleaning was required. A battle would be over in minutes with AK's... and there would not be all that marching around in columns and lines. Men would fight from concealment and cover and there would be quicker manuver possible.

SO happy I found this!!!
Reviewer2083376により 8 07, 2013 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
I had been feeling very sluggish, was not sleeping well, and was stiff and sore all over. After researching the symptoms of underactive thyroid and why it often goes undiagnosed, I decided to give this a try - not as hormone replacement but to feed and nourish my glandular system in hopes that it would begin to function more efficiently. Not only did I start to feel better almost immediately, but I noticed that I also lost my cravings for foods that would further tax my thyroid gland and perpetuate weight gain. I feel SOOOO much better and plan to continue taking this regularly.
measurable results
Reviewer1128553により 11 27, 2013 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
I have host of endocrine issues 4+ years into Chronic Fatigue and Chronic Lyme. My thyroid has recovered a lot but I was still have trouble converting T4 to T3, so my free T3 (what your cells can use) was very low. Two months of taking this twice a day has significantly changed my lab results, and i have normal levels of T3. Change in how I feel is complicated to measure because there are so many things wrong, and my adrenal function is still poor. so for now I have to go with lab results, and hope that when I get everything working right I will feel better more often. I would speculate that someone with less serious issues who had poor energy from poor thyroid function might notice a positive change more distinctly.
Incredible tool!

I can't really blame the product. Usually AOR product are top notch but it gave me cold hands in the morning. Perhaps it's just me who didn't need it. It might work for others but did not for me. Besides, pathogens feed on glandulars so that's always something to consider.

Boley was the brains behind our defense who lost a step.
Canty is a large paycheck who couldn't elevate our lowly D-line.
Webster is old and sucks and everyone wants him cut.
Tuck quit.
Osi wants too much.
...yet our defensive coordinator who had us ranked 27th last year and 31st this year is getting a free pass. Why didn't he bench Webster? Why couldn't he motivate Tuck? Why did he sit Boley who was arguably our best defensive player?
Fewell came to the Giants with the expectation our pass ruch would remain great and he could fix our secondary. How, with high paid safeties and CBs, we have an awful secondary and now our pass rush has disappeared.
Why aren't we looking for a new defensive coordinator???

Embellished Starbucks Bottles
I simply peeled off the Starbucks labels (after enjoying the Vanilla Frappuccino, of course!). I replaced them with these great French images from The Graphics Fairy. I printed them onto to clear Avery label paper and cut them to size.
I added rhinestones to both bottles. For one, I tied a key from Michael's on and for the other, I added a keyhole with some twine.
I also added some vintage lace to make them look a little less beverage bottle and more chic. Nevermind those air bubbles you see, I flattened them out after snapping the pics.
Don't they fit perfectly?! I had to prop them up a little by wedging some tissue paper in the bottom of each slot.
I have two more that I need to makeover this week. I'm just so happy that I found the perfect sized bottles!

Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes:
The goal is to keep your blood sugar level as close to normal as possible to delay or prevent complications. Although there are exceptions, generally, the goal is to keep your daytime blood sugar levels before meals between 70 and 130 mg/dL (3.9 to 7.2 mmol/L) and your after meal numbers no higher than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) two hours after eating.
Good diabetes management can be overwhelming, especially when you're first diagnosed. Take it one day at a time. And remember that you're not alone. You'll work closely with your diabetes treatment team to keep your blood sugar level as close to normal as possible.
Anyone who has type 1 diabetes needs lifelong insulin therapy. After the diagnosis, there may be a "honeymoon" period, during which blood sugar is controlled with little or no insulin. However, this phase doesn't last.
Types of insulin are many and include:
Examples are regular insulin (Humulin 70/30, Novolin 70/30, others), insulin isophane (Humulin N, Novolin N), insulin glulisine (Apidra), insulin lispro (Humalog) and insulin aspart (Novolog). Long-acting insulins include glargine (Lantus) and detemir (Levemir).
Insulin can't be taken orally to lower blood sugar because stomach enzymes interfere with insulin's action. Therefore, it must be given either through injections or an insulin pump.
Injections. You can use a fine needle and syringe or an insulin pen to inject insulin under your skin. Insulin pens look similar to ink pens, and are available in disposable or refillable varieties. Needles are available in a variety of sizes, so you can find one that's most comfortable for you.
If you choose injections, you'll likely need a mixture of insulin types to use throughout the day and night. Multiple daily injections that include a combination of a long-acting insulin, such as Lantus or Levemir combined with a rapid-acting insulin, such as Apidra, Humolog or Novolog, more closely mimic the body's normal use of insulin than older insulin regimens that only required one or two shots a day. Three or more insulin injections a day has been shown to improve blood sugar levels.
An insulin pump — a device about the size of a cellphone worn on the outside of your body. A tube connects a reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of your abdomen. This type of pump can be worn in a variety of ways, such as on your waistband, in your pocket, or with specially designed pump belts.
There's also a wireless pump option. You wear a pod that houses the insulin reservoir on your body that has a tiny catheter that's inserted under your skin. The insulin pod can be worn on your abdomen, lower back, or on a leg or an arm. The programming is done with a wireless device that communicates with the pod.
Pumps are programmed to dispense specific amounts of rapid-acting insulin automatically. This steady dose of insulin is known as your basal rate, and it replaces whatever long-acting insulin you were using.
When you eat, you program the pump with the amount of carbohydrates you're eating and your current blood sugar, and it will give you what's called a "bolus" dose of insulin to cover your meal and to correct your blood sugar if it's elevated. Some research has found that in some people an insulin pump can be more effective at controlling blood sugar levels than injections. But many people achieve good blood sugar levels with injections, too.
An emerging treatment approach, not yet available, is closed-loop insulin delivery, also known as the artificial pancreas. It links a continuous glucose monitor to an insulin pump. The device automatically delivers the correct amount of insulin when the monitor indicates the need for it. There are a number of different versions of the artificial pancreas, and clinical trials have had encouraging results. More research needs to be done before a fully functional artificial pancreas can receive regulatory approval.
The first step toward an artificial pancreas was approved in 2013. Combining a continuous glucose monitor with an insulin pump, this system stops insulin delivery when blood sugar levels drop too low. Studies on the device found that it could prevent low blood sugar levels overnight without significantly increasing morning blood sugar levels.
Additional medications also may be prescribed for people with type 1 diabetes, such as:
Depending on what type of insulin therapy you select or require — twice daily injections, multiple daily injections or insulin pump — you may need to check and record your blood sugar level at least four times a day, and generally more often. The American Diabetes Association recommends testing blood sugar levels before meals and snacks, before bed, before exercising or driving, and if you suspect you have low blood sugar. Careful monitoring is the only way to make sure that your blood sugar level remains within your target range. Be sure to wash your hands before checking your blood sugar levels.
Even if you take insulin and eat on a rigid schedule, the amount of sugar in your blood can change unpredictably. With help from your diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your blood sugar level changes in response to food, activity, illness, medications, stress, hormonal changes and alcohol.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is the newest way to monitor blood sugar levels, and may be especially helpful for preventing hypoglycemia. Plus, when used by people older than 25, the devices have been shown to lower A1C.
Continuous glucose monitors attach to the body using a fine needle just under the skin that checks blood glucose level every few minutes. CGM isn't yet considered as accurate as standard blood sugar monitoring, so it's not considered a replacement method for keeping track of blood sugar, but an additional tool for some people.
Contrary to popular perception, there's no such thing as a diabetes diet. However, it's important to center your diet on nutritious, low-fat, high-fiber foods such as:
Your dietitian will recommend that you eat fewer animal products and refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and sweets. This healthy eating plan is recommended for everyone, even people without diabetes.
You'll need to learn how to count the amount of carbohydrates in the foods you eat so that you can give yourself enough insulin to properly metabolize those carbohydrates. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your health goals, food preferences and lifestyle.
Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and people who have type 1 diabetes are no exception. But get your doctor's OK to exercise first. Then choose activities you enjoy, such as walking, swimming and biking. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. Aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days of the week. The goal for children is at least an hour of activity a day. Flexibility and strength training exercises are important, too. If you haven't been active for a while, start slowly and build up gradually.
Remember that physical activity lowers blood sugar, often for long after you're done working out. If you begin a new activity, check your blood sugar level more often than usual until you know how that activity affects your blood sugar levels. You might need to adjust your meal plan or insulin doses to compensate for the increased activity. If you use an insulin pump, you can set a temporary basal rate to keep your blood sugar from dropping. Ask your doctor or diabetes educator to show you how.
Certain life circumstances call for different considerations.
Working. In the past, people with type 1 diabetes were often refused certain jobs because they had diabetes. Fortunately, advances in diabetes management and anti-discrimination laws have made such blanket bans largely a thing of the past.
However, type 1 diabetes can pose some challenges in the workplace. For example, if you work in a job that involves driving or operating heavy machinery, hypoglycemia could pose a serious risk to you and those around you. You may need to work with your doctor and your employer to ensure that certain accommodations are made, such as your having a quick break for blood sugar testing and fast access to food and drink anytime, so you can properly manage your diabetes and prevent low blood sugar levels. There are federal and state laws in place that require employers to make reasonable accommodations for people with diabetes.
Being pregnant. Because the risk of pregnancy complications is higher for women with type 1 diabetes, experts recommend that women have a preconception evaluation and that A1C readings should be less than 7 percent before you attempt to get pregnant. Some drugs, such as high blood pressure medications and cholesterol-lowering medications, may need to be stopped before pregnancy.
The risk of birth defects is increased for women with type 1 diabetes, particularly when diabetes is poorly controlled during the first six to eight weeks of pregnancy, so planning your pregnancy is key. Careful management of your diabetes during pregnancy can decrease your risk of complications.
Islet cell transplantation. Researchers are experimenting with islet cell transplantation, which provides new insulin-producing cells from a donor pancreas. Although this experimental procedure has met with problems in the past, new techniques and better drugs to prevent islet cell rejection may improve its future chance for success.
Islet cell transplantation still requires the use of immune-suppressing medications. And just as it did with its own natural islet cells, the body often destroys transplanted islet cells, making the time off injected insulin short-lived. Additionally, a sufficient supply of islet cells isn't available for this treatment to become more widespread.
Researchers are working on ways to expand the number of available islets, as well as find ways to protect islets from the immune system. Some ideas that may soon be in clinical trials include encapsulating the individual islet cells, or housing the islet cells in a device that would shield them from the immune cells, but still allow in oxygen and a blood supply.
Despite your best efforts, sometimes problems will arise. Certain short-term complications of type 1 diabetes, such as hypoglycemia, require immediate care.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This occurs when your blood sugar level drops below your target range. Ask your doctor what's considered a low blood sugar level for you. Blood sugar levels can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal, getting more physical activity than normal or injecting too much insulin.
Learn the symptoms of low blood sugar, and test your blood sugar if you think your blood sugar levels are dropping. When in doubt, always do a blood sugar test. Early signs and symptoms of low blood sugar include:
Later signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, which can sometimes be mistaken for alcohol intoxication in teens and adults include:
If you develop hypoglycemia during the night, you might wake with sweat-soaked pajamas or a headache. Due to a natural rebound effect, nighttime hypoglycemia might cause an unusually high blood sugar reading first thing in the morning.
If you have a low blood sugar reading:
If a blood glucose meter isn't readily available, treat for low blood sugar anyway if you have symptoms of hypoglycemia, and then test as soon as possible.
Always carry a source of fast-acting sugar with you. Left untreated, low blood sugar will cause you to lose consciousness. If this occurs, you may need an emergency injection of glucagon — a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar into the blood. Be sure you always have a glucagon emergency kit available — at home, at work, when you're out — and make sure it hasn't expired.
Hypoglycemia unawareness. Some people may lose the ability to sense that their blood sugar levels are getting low, because they've developed a condition known as hypoglycemia unawareness. With hypoglycemia unawareness, the body no longer reacts to a low blood sugar level with symptoms such as lightheadedness or headaches. The more you experience low blood sugars, the more likely you are to develop hypoglycemia unawareness. The good news is that if you can avoid having a hypoglycemic episode for several weeks, you may start to become more aware of impending lows.
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Your blood sugar can rise for many reasons, including eating too much, eating the wrong types of foods, not taking enough insulin or illness.
Watch for:
If you suspect hyperglycemia, check your blood sugar. You might need to adjust your meal plan or medications. If your blood sugar is higher than your target range, you'll likely need to administer a "correction" using an insulin shot or through an insulin pump. A correction is an additional dose of insulin that should bring your blood sugar back into the normal range. High blood sugar levels don't come down as quickly as they go up. Ask your doctor how long to wait until you recheck. If you use an insulin pump, random high blood sugar readings may mean you need to change the pump site.
If you have a blood sugar reading above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), test for ketones using a urine test stick. Don't exercise if your blood sugar level is above 240 mg/dL or if ketones are present. If only a trace or small amounts of ketones are present, drink extra fluids to flush out the ketones.
If your blood sugar is persistently above 300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L), despite taking appropriate correction doses of insulin, call your doctor or seek emergency care.
Increased ketones in your urine (diabetic ketoacidosis). If your cells are starved for energy, your body may begin to break down fat — producing toxic acids known as ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening emergency.
Signs and symptoms of this serious condition include:
If you suspect ketoacidosis, check your urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If you have large amounts of ketones in your urine, call your doctor right away or seek emergency care. Also, call your doctor if you have vomited more than once and you have ketones in your urine.

You know I thought about playing in the NHL, but you're on the road so much, you have no time to spend with your wife and kids. In hindsight it was the wrong decision. I mean look at this fucking guy. His name is Mikkel Boedker and he plays for the Phoenix Coyotes. Never heard of him. All I know is you can't argue with the way he rolls. A smoke on each arm like it ain't no thing. And how about the broad on the left? Holy fuck she's hot. God damn puck sluts. I demand to know who that chick is. I DEMAND it.
PS – I need that kid with the fake surfer hair to start shopping at Barstool. I got a ton of tanks to sell his ass.

They'll arrest you for fun, and if you in possession of marijuana they'll take it and smoke themselves then call you an asshole, faggot, or a pussy. They'll do a "routine" traffic stop on any minority driving a car that is somewhat in good condition or if you have a gold chain on.
Dude, I was smoking out at the park the cops came stole my money, cigarettes, and weed then arrested me and called me a faggot.

"Mexiterranean" Villa on Playa Conchas Chinas
Quinta Maria Cortez • Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Escape Kit
- A Four-Night Stay for Two in a Suite ($445)
- Or, a Five-Night Stay for Two in a Suite ($556)
- Or, a Six-Night Stay for Two in a Suite ($667)
- Or, a Seven-Night Stay for Two in a Suite ($799)
- Daily Breakfast for Two Served Mondays through Saturdays
- 20% Discount on Spa Services
The Destination
Playa Conchas Chinas is a short stroll from downtown Puerto Vallarta, but a world away from the spring breakers and mega-resorts. In fact, previous visitors to Puerta Vallarta may be surprised that away from the noisy strip, they can actually hear the waves. Rocky cliffs and secluded coves make up the shoreline, with shells ground to a fine sand by the tumbling waves. This sophisticated community leverages its to-die-for scenery to attract an affluent crowd and countless fashion shoots.
The Digs
Quinta Maria Cortez is built into a steep hillside overlooking the beach and Banderas Bay. In sharp contrast to the sprawling hotels farther north, this villa-style bed and breakfast has only seven suites, meaning guests aren't just a room number and ensuring attention to detail (like imported soaps in the bathrooms). A warm, eclectic mix of Mexican antiques, local art, and open-air living areas lends a "Mexiterranean" vibe to the private-entry accommodations, many of which feature kitchenettes, bay-view balconies, and air-conditioned bedrooms. Even with 320 days of tropical sunshine per year, a cool breeze coming off the water keeps open-air spaces the perfect temperature, no thermostat needed.
The Diversions
Start your day with a gourmet breakfast under a shady palapa before venturing down to the secluded shore (no pushy beach vendors here). Or, bask in the sun on the rooftop—"among the best sunset-watching spots in town," according to Frommer's. When you want to cool off, consider a dip in the small pool or snorkeling in Banderas Bay. Quinta Maria Cortez also offers a range of spa treatments.
Yes, you're away from the wet T-shirt contests, but the party isn't too far. In fact, it's just a five-minute cab ride (or a 15-minute stroll down the beach) to all the action. Check out Puerto Vallarta's dining scene with discounts at numerous fine restaurants—The River Café, El Arrayán, No Way José!, Barcelona Tapas, Archie's Wok, Red Cabbage Café, Trio Restaurant Bar & Café, and Vitea—then return to your suite, slipping between the crisp, white sheets and drifting off to the sound of crashing waves.
"An eclectic, imaginative B&B on the beach, this is Puerto Vallarta's most original place to stay—and one of Mexico's most memorable inns. A terrace fronting the beach accommodates chairs for taking in the sunset."-- Frommer's

Providing excellent campus safety is critical to the well being of our community, and Guilford provides comprehensive safety resources for students, faculty and staff. The Guilford College Office of Public Safety works cooperatively with the Guilford community to preserve peace, reduce crime and provide a safe environment. In support of our culture of personal responsibility, on campus and off, students are encouraged to learn about and make use of these resources to help us maintain and build an increasingly safe College community.
Source: Security on Campus, Inc.
Reporting crimes is tremendously important to keeping our community safe. Community members are urged to report all crimes to Public Safety by visiting the Public Safety office or calling 336.316.2909 or extension 2909 from a campus phone. Community vigilance against crimes on campus ensures a safer environment for all of us — crime prevention can be more easily achieved when the entire community works together.
Guilford's Public Safety staff is here to ensure campus security and safety. They have the authority to ask people for identification and to determine if they have legitimate business on campus. They have the authority to issue parking tickets. Public Safety does not have the power to arrest; criminal incidents are referred to the Greensboro Police Department, which patrols campus daily.
The Office of Public Safety provides the following services to the members of the Guilford College community:
Being aware of safety and crime prevention strategies helps our community collaborate to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Throughout the year the Public Safety office offers useful and relevant programming in Guilford's residence halls and other venues to maintain a high awareness about safety and crime prevention. All of the awareness and crime prevention programs encourage students and employees to be aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others.
In accordance to the federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, which amends the Jeanne Clery Act, Campus Security is providing a link to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's Sex Offender Registry. Follow this link to access the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry.
Guilford College recognizes the importance of assisting students who are victims of sexual assault in regaining a sense of their personal dignity and control of their lives, and by providing guidance relative to future decisions. Sexual offenses, and concern about potential offenses, obstruct the working and learning conditions we value and desire at Guilford. The psychological damage created by a sexual assault continues long after the physical trauma has ended. The Guilford Counseling Center is staffed with experts who can help students who have experienced trauma (336.316.2163). The 24-hour Rape Crisis service (336.273.7273) can also provide help.
Excessive use of alcohol and other drugs often precedes many incidents involving a sexual assault. Use of these substances may interfere with one's capacity to either consent to or refuse sexual activity. Use of these substances may also interfere with an individual's judgment regarding sexual aggression. The use of alcohol or other drugs, however, does not diminish personal responsibility for behavior that is socially unacceptable or aggressive.
Access to academic and administrative facilities varies; in general only those with legitimate business are allowed entry.
In the event of a natural, technological or human-related disaster, Guilford has special procedures in place to address the needs of mitigation, preparedness, and response and recovery management, called the all-hazard Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). This plan establishes policies, procedures and guidelines allowing Guilford to save lives, minimize injuries, protect property, preserve a functioning administration, and maintain essential activities. Guidelines are in place to conduct effective and coordinated emergency operations on campus and beyond.
Frequent drills are conducted throughout the year to ensure emergency preparedness on campus. In an emergency, Guilford will attempt to communicate with the community through numerous methods, including public postings, information hotlines and an Emergency Alert System integrating telephone, text messaging and email.
For more information about the Emergency Operations Plan, call 336.316.2907.

My automobile has built-in GPS. Not by choice. To get a 2009 Honda Pilot with a built-in DVD player for the kids, you had to accept several other goodies, from the GPS to the moon roof to the leather interior. It's okay, we got a very good deal on the vehicle.
Unfortunately, over time, the maps on the GPS you receive with a new vehicle require updates, and for many cars, those update DVDs can cover over $100!
Why spend that when you can now get a TomTom for just over $100? Or pay less than $50 for a well-reputed mapping app for your smartphone?
My husband and I were plagued with this decision last year when we took a couple road trips in his car — as opposed to our SUV — without a GPS built in. We used the mapping apps on our iPhones, but didn't have a clever way to mount the phone to the vehicle.
This is where the GripGo can come in. According to their press release, the GripGo can
- instantly grip any style phone or GPS
- mount easily to your dashboard or windshield
- act like a million suction cups that grip and release over and over again, thanks to its "unique polymer surface"
- not require adhesives or tools
- detach from your device "instantly" with "no sticky residue"
- pivot 360 degrees for that perfect viewing angle
- retail for as little as $10.99
On a very basic level, all of the above facts are true. But in reality, it's far from perfect. If you're reading this blog, then you are looking for more than just a basic review. I kicked things up a notch.

Here it is the middle of January and Spring is just around the corner. Do your Bee's have enough food to keep them from Starving? If not, do a Google search for Mountain Camp Method of feeding dry sugar. Don't let your little darling STARVE! I used the mountain camp method last year and my bee's came through in fine shape.
Sat., the temp was 55* and the bee's were flying so I open my hives and the bee's were right up in the top and the hives were getting light so I decided it would be a good time to put the Dry Sugar just for Insurance against Starving. I fed dry sugar last year and I was sup-prized how much they ate of the dry sugar. Like I said, my bee's came through last winter in good shape and gave me a good amount of HONEY for the kind of year we had, it was dry here also. Any sugar that is left in the spring can be fed as syrup so nothing is lost. Try it, I think you will like the results. It is cheaper than buying more bee's in the spring.
Just a Reminder to check your HIVES.

PL to face Hermantown in state quarterfinals
The Hermantown Hawks have a rich tradition with 19 state appearances while the Pequot Lakes Patriots are hoping to start a tradition as state regulars after qualifying for the first time this season.
The two teams will meet in the Class AA quarterfinals at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 6, at Caswell Park Fields in North Mankato.
"We didn't get an easy draw as Hermantown has been to state a lot," Pequot Lakes coach Bret Sergent said of the Hawks, who won state titles in 1991, 2002 and 2009, "but I don't think we will be nervous, just because of the way we won the section (rallying through the loser's bracket by winning close games)."
The Patriots' have played as well as any team in the state the past two years by compiling a 40-3 record.
"The key is we played a lot of softball over the summer the past few years," Sergent said. "Last year's seniors started that tradition, and the juniors this year kept it going. Those three grades really get along, and have played a lot of games."
Sergent added that another key to the Patriots' success is having "good pitching."
Katie White and Lindzee Johnson have provided that admirable pitching. White, a junior, was 15-2 overall with a 1.11 earned-run average and 143 strikeouts in 114 innings. Johnson was 4-0 with a 0.70 earned-run average and 11 strikeouts in 20 innings.
Pequot Lakes also has compiled impressive batting averages, including having five regulars with a batting average over .429. The top average among regulars is Kayla Miller with a .452 average in 42 at bats, but her season is over after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee during a recent elite summer basketball game.
Other hitting leaders are White at .438; outfielder Jessica Kreitz .433, third baseman Hannah Zimmerman .433, and Haley Wiebolt .429. White has six homers while Kreitz has four. White also has a team-high 29 RBI while Johnson has 24 and Kreitz 23. Wiebolt has scored 29 runs while Kreitz has scored 23. Kreitz also has the team lead with nine stolen bases.
"Pequot is a true unknown to us," said Hermantown coach Tom Bang, whose squad returns to state after a one-year absence. "We haven't played them (recently) or any of their opponents. But any team that gets to this level has to be a quality team with quality athletes. We, like any team in the tournament, have to focus on our fundaments first."
The Hawks, 21-3 overall, are led by Katie Thun, who has compiled a 17-2 pitching record, and is hitting .444 with four homers.
Other quarterfinal matches include: Kasson-Mantoville (22-2) vs. St. Anthony Village (23-3), defending state champion New Ulm (20-3) vs. Maple River (18-4), and Fergus Falls (14-10) vs. Rockford (16-3).
Semifinal and consolation games are scheduled for 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 6. The championship, third place and consolation final are scheduled for Friday, June 7.

UTSA professor receives funding for waterway project
By Evangelina Williams
Student Intern, Office of Public Affairs
(Aug. 11, 2006)-- Kyle Murray, UTSA assistant professor of hydrogeology and geographical information systems, recently received a $50,000 grant from the City of San Antonio for a project titled "Management Practices for Natural Waterways."
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The project team is made up of local groups including the San Antonio River Authority (SARA), citizens who live along waterways and the UTSA Center for Water Research. Together, they will develop a document that contains easy-to-use guidelines for management practices such as removing natural and man-made debris, controlling erosion along waterways, stabilizing stream banks and re-vegetating within the riparian zone, which is the transitional area between the water and surrounding lands.
"Local agencies and landowners in the San Antonio area are responsible for managing waterways," said Murray, "but depending on the watershed and management goal, the practices should differ. There are currently no guidelines established for these tasks."
The idea for the development of waterway management guidelines came from local citizens concerned about how waterways are being managed and protected.
The City of San Antonio also is developing greenways along area creeks and rivers, which will be available for recreation activities. These greenways will help reduce flood damage to area residents and improve water quality.

Do you know any streaming out of country? I'm live in Brazil!
Do you know any streaming out of country? I'm live in Brazil!
Darn, I've been looking everywhere to try to find out whom is broadcasting live for those of us in the USA!
So far I've found out icenetwork is not, judging by their schedule posted here: http://web.icenetwork.com/events/schedule.jsp
And Heather's figure skating scheudule hasn't been updated yet, seen here: http://heatherw.com/mk/sch.htm
So my last hope is that NBC shows it on t.v., even if tape delayed. *sad*
Universal sports showed every event LIVE last year. Not sure if this works outside USA.
I don't get Universal Sports unfortunately. Hopefully one day it will be available on NBC, or ESPN, or a satellite channel that I get.
I hope this year that it is webcasted on Universal Sports because I don't get their TV station
Does anybody have a link to Universal Sports? I'd like to bookmark it for future skating events that I can't get on my t.v. or IN. Thanks!
I got the schedule from another website; I don't know where the poster got the info, so not sure if this is true or not:

I hope that it's ok to post info from another website here...
I looked at my DirecTV monthly schedule book today and found that NBC is showing PGA golf the weekend of the 27th. That means that there will be no figure skating on the NBC broadcast this year. I'm so glad that I got Verizon FIOS which has Universal Sports about two months ago. It's come in really handy this year.
I believe CBC will be streaming World's live, but I am not sure if it will be available outside Canada. The wonderful PJ Kwong usually commentates - sometimes other Canadian skaters such as Kurt Browning and Tracey Wilson take over for the last flyte. CBC streamed live ALL the grand prix events this year. You can still watch all of them I believe - I just had a quick look and certainly 4CC is there in its entirety. I thought I saw a schedule, but couldn't find it this time....
svtplay.se may be showing it, they were wonderful for europeans but unfortunately were not allowed to show any live stream outside Sweden during the Olympics. Worth a try though.
I'm hoping it's streamed from their website - it's so hard to tell if Universal Sports will stream it live or just stream the results live. I asked on their Facebook page and no one answered.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

I don't know what it is. A lot of the posters on here just seem very subdued for whatever reason. I know that was a tough loss to the eagles last Sunday and they've beaten us 8/9 and were 0-2 in NFCE.
But come on, we are only 4 games into the season.....
We just need to get to 7-7 and we will have the league right where we want em!!! Lol
Come on guys!! Lighten up!!

Howdy boys and girls.
Wonder if any of you have used Termidor for yellow jacket elimination.
This product works on bait. The YJ's contact/ingest the product from bait and subsequent individuals that come in contact with the contaminated "host" become eliminated.
The question is . . . . my bees water heavily on a bird bath. The YJ's do too, later in the season. Would the YJ's contact with the water source be enough to pass this on to my girls?
