I got my receiver barreled today, and installed the gas tube, if I put the rec. in a vise and level it, then run a long thin straight cleaning rod through the gas tube, the cleaning rod should settle to bottom dead center of gas tube(right?). Then if the cleaning rod aligns with top dead center at mussel, timing should be good?
Also I installed the BHO and the mag catch, the BHO is a little sticky, will this work itself out or should I remove and use a little emory cloth?
When do I need to install locking shoulder?
Is there a way to check for any feed issue at this stage?

Looks great! That's Brownell's? How much (volume) do you need?
Does the parkerizing affect the chrome in the bore or do you block the bore?
Chrome isn't affected by the process.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Great Idea on the wall board putty pans...
Can you use a spot welder to combine the stainless wallboard putty pans together? Seems like it might be a little faster. Just not sure if you can spot weld stainless.
If you dunk parts in acteone for degrease, after sandblasting, but immediately before parking tank, do you still need to dunk the parts in hot water? I was thinking of buying the shooters solution zinc parking concentrate, ( don't need the degreaser and would like to use used motor oil for post parking treatment) does anyone have any sample of what teh outcome looks like?

(ribavirin USP)
- REBETOL monotherapy is not effective for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection and should not be used alone for this indication [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- The primary toxicity of ribavirin is hemolytic anemia. The anemia associated with REBETOL therapy may result in worsening of cardiac disease that has led to fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarctions. Patients with a history of significant or unstable cardiac disease should not be treated with REBETOL [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, and ADVERSE REACTIONS].
- Significant teratogenic and embryocidal effects have been demonstrated in all animal species exposed to ribavirin. In addition, ribavirin has a multiple-dose half-life of 12 days, and so it may persist in nonplasma compartments for as long as 6 months. Therefore, REBETOL therapy is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in the male partners of women who are pregnant. Extreme care must be taken to avoid pregnancy during therapy and for 6 months after completion of treatment in both female patients and in female partners of male patients who are taking REBETOL therapy. At least two reliable forms of effective contraception must be utilized during treatment and during the 6-month post-treatment follow-up period [see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use in Specific Populations, Nonclinical Toxicology, and PATIENT INFORMATION].
REBETOL (ribavirin), is a synthetic nucleoside analogue (purine analogue). The chemical name of ribavirin is 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide and has the following structural formula (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Structural Formula
Ribavirin is a white, crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in water and slightly soluble in anhydrous alcohol. The empirical formula is C8H12N4O5 and the molecular weight is 244.21.
REBETOL capsules consist of a white powder in a white, opaque, gelatin capsule. Each capsule contains 200 mg ribavirin and the inactive ingredients microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate. The capsule shell consists of gelatin, sodium lauryl sulfate, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide. The capsule is printed with edible blue pharmaceutical ink which is made of shellac, anhydrous ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide, and FD&C Blue #2 aluminum lake.
REBETOL oral solution is a clear, colorless to pale or light yellow bubble gum-flavored liquid. Each milliliter of the solution contains 40 mg of ribavirin and the inactive ingredients sucrose, glycerin, sorbitol, propylene glycol, sodium citrate, citric acid, sodium benzoate, natural and artificial flavor for bubble gum #15864, and water.
What are the possible side effects of ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol, RibaPak, Ribasphere, RibaTab)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using ribavirin and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- problems with your vision;
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
- severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate;
- stabbing chest pain, wheezing, feeling short of breath;
- severe depression,...

First of all, I think we can all forget about the Giants dumping ANYONE with time left on their contract (Webster, Tuck).
Secondly, the whole taking of a pay-cut is very VERY rare. If a guy is reasonably effective (which Canty and Rolle are), they'll never take a pay cut.
Also, Phillips is good-as-gone. He's a risk that's too expensive for us to take with our cap situation. Some other team can roll those dice.
Bennett I don't see coming back. It's another year, another TE for the GMen. Adrian Robinson and newbs will take over.
Andre Brown is chop-meat. He's looked good at times, but can't be relied on to carry any workload for a season.
We may draft a Guard, but Snee and Baas are both locked-up, so don't expect any improvements there (and yes, even the Almighty #76 has now had 2 bad seasons in a row).
Sorry to be such a downer. . .Hopefully the team can improve. . .In Reese I Trust.
You gave PF a free pass? Blackburn still in the middle? Pretty much the same OL?
No thanks, I'll pass on this list. Nice try though
No one remembers who came in second.
First and foremost get a OC and DC.. Simply for changes sake.. I'd reach out to Pepper Johnson or Mike Singeltary about being our new DC.. For OC, i'd get creatvie..
Rebuild the OL through FA. On Sirius this morning they where talking about how you can build a good OL through FA and wouldn't break the bank doing so. If they can stay healthy they should be set at WR. Bennett says he wants to stay. We shall see. The running game should get better with a new OL and Wilson will have some experience and hopefully know how to block. On defense they have a nice group of young players in the secondary. They could still use another CB though. They absolutely need DE's and another DT would help. They are not in that bad of shape. If they fix the OL they should be able to get a couple more wins right there.
We won't get it all done this offseason. We will have to choose what we want our weaknesses to be rather than try to address all of them. Depending on who you talk to the solutions differ for the same problem, so I'll list the problem I want addressed in order of importance followed by my recommended solution:
1. Bolster run defense- Run Stuffing DTs ***plural b/c I think both spots are up for grabs, Athletic and stout MLB,
2. Run blocking- draft an Olineman within the first 2 rounds or free agency stud.
3. Strengthen Pass rush- Put Kiwi on the line every down, but only if dedicates himself to weights in the offseason. Kiwi with added strength would be great versus the run on the line. He has great instincts. Need a DT to play besides JPP; something akin to the Justin Smith Aldon Smith tandem or Jared Allen, Kevin Williams tandem in Minnesota. I want to see what Tracy can do too at DE.
4. Running backs- More David Wilson, He is the future and the future is NOW.
5. WRs/TE- I want to see Nicks in an offseason strengthening program and see him add 5lbs of muscle to handle the wear and tear of the season. WHen Nicks and Cruz are healthy we are a drastically different team on offense. Barden and Randle can compete for the 3rd spot. I like Randle to take it. I'd like to resign Bennett.
6. OC- I want Gilbride to tweak his system to add more intermediate and short option routes. I think we are too hit and miss with the deep ball. I think that will bring some consistency too our offense. No I don't want a new coordinator, just tweak the system we have.
7. DC- Bye Bye Perry. Frustrated with our performance and I think it has more to do with our players, but with performance this bad I can't see how he gets a vote of confidence.
The rank is the most important thing to keep in mind when you read my list. RUN DEFENSE #1 PROBLEM!!!! It will be very painful to have to watch another season of any old team running straight up the gut as if we were boys and not men. That was really hard to watch.
No, it's the other way around. PF is salvageable, Killdrive needs to be run out of town ASAP.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

Soldiers committing suicide: US troops are killing themselves in record numbers. By Jason Notte.
From 2008: Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz explains the punishing cost of staying in Iraq any longer. By Peter Kadzis.
HTTs — which are currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan and are being planned for the Pentagon's African Command — are military units that embed anthropologists into war zones to collect intelligence, ostensibly to smooth the military's relations with the locals. While the Army's military objective is to take out enemies with bombs and bullets, HTTs are tasked with helping soldiers bridge cultural divides, and differentiate friend from foe, thus lowering American casualties.
The program is seemingly well intentioned, but critics have called it too small, disorganized, ill-prepared, and, most disturbingly, unethical. The HTT program has suffered withering criticism from many anthropologists, with the American Anthropological Association blasting the program as a "violation" of ethics and an "unacceptable application of anthropological expertise."
Things have gotten nasty, with each side becoming entrenched in its position — the military is rumored to have a "blacklist" of anthropologists hostile to the HTT program, while anthropologists have accused the military of spying on them.
No matter the criticisms, Loyd's murder is only one of several disasters that have plagued the program. Two other HTT anthropologists have been killed, including Michael Bhatia, a Medway, Massachusetts, native. An Iraqi HTT anthropologist is currently facingtrial in the US on charges of having spied for Saddam Hussein. An American was kicked out of the HTT program for joking that, if the US ever invaded Iran, she would "switch sides."
And then there's Don Ayala, an American contractor and former bodyguard of the Afghan president, who was a member of Loyd's HTT. After Salam set Loyd on fire, he ran toward Ayala, who knocked him down, pinned him to the ground, and flexicuffed him. Nearly 10 minutes later, when Ayala got word of the extent of Loyd's injuries, he shot Salam in the head, in full view of several US soldiers. In February, Ayala pleaded guilty to manslaughter for shooting Salam.
There have been staffing problems, as well. The program currently consists of only 19 teams in Iraq and six in Afghanistan, with just two trained anthropologists per team. And with 23,220 American soldiers in Afghanistan, but only six Human Terrain Teams, that amounts to one anthropologist for every 1935 American soldiers.

McCain blasts Obama, Democrats for Fannie Mae meltdown
posted at 2:00 pm on October 6, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
We asked John McCain to take off the gloves — and he listened. In remarks McCain will deliver today, he blasts Democrats, including Barack Obama, for their market manipulations and defense of Fannie Mae against regulator warnings. He accuses all of them of encouraging corruption (emphases mine):
Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?
This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.
Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.
Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, "a good idea." Well, Senator Obama, that "good idea" has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
To hear him talk now, you'd think he'd always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.
Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans? Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn't he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won't tell you, but you deserve an answer.
This is exactly what McCain must do to correct the record on this fiasco. Not only has Obama misrepresented this as a crisis of deregulation, but the record shows that Democrats like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Gregory Meeks, Lacy Gray, and others opposed the regulators we already had when they tried to blow the whistle. As late as this summer, Democrats kept trying to tell the American voters that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were stable, when in fact they were collapsing.
More, please. Let's see quotes from Democrats in ads, along with the bill for their social engineering. We need this for bigger reasons than a presidential election: we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Update: Moe Lane at Red State has more thoughts, as does Jim Geraghty.

World War II: Mexican Air Force Helped Liberate the Philippines
Original post made by dublinmike, Dublin, on May 12, 2013
Some of you are aware of how Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and other SA countries helped escaping Nazis make it to South America after the fall of Nazi Germany. But, nearly all of Americans are not aware of how many other South Americans helped the Allied cause.
If you are so inclined to read about others that helped keep us free of Nazi tyranny then please read:

BTW, it appears that American was the only country of significance that actually came out of WWII financially ahead. Think about it.

You make it sound like this is breaking news. Our involvement and history in WWII is about the USA, not other nations. That is 'their' involvement, their history. Of course our history will be mostly be written about us, with side notes or side stories of 'help' from other Allied countries. The more help and involvement, the more side notes or bigger side stories. Any involvement from an Allied country was and is thanked a great deal. You try to portray in your post that their air force was a significant force and yet the article states 300 enlisted men and officers combined. Compared to how many Americans? Compared to to how much resources we used and provided? Compared to how many lives Americans lost? Compared to how much we spent and helped the rebuilding effort in foreign countries after the war was over?
And then of course, you end it with an America "bashing" comment of how we came out financially ahead. Yet you don't state how financially draining it was on our country and its people during the war.
I really wonder what the ulterior motive is for this post? Could it be a certain political wrangling happening in our country now?

Everyone said OSCP is hard to achieve; i read some review from "experts". Everyone said that having basic knowledge about the linux and programming is enough to take the course. But OffSec mentioned that should have strong knowledge in TCP/IP.
I am going to take the course on April only. In between this gap, i like to learn everything that required to take the course. (I like to pass the exam in first attempt. )
is the skills what i have is enough as a pre-requisites?

Jesse Williams is a junior at Alabama and played extremely well in his first year there (transferred). Just heard he performed at their pro day and put up a 4.87 and 4.75 40 at 6'3 320 and that he had done 50+ on the bench earlier that week (which is crazy for an Alabama player where they usually drastically underperform on the bench). Gonna be sure to keep an eye on this guy.
I was checking up to see how Donta did on the cone drill. I read that he really helped himself but his cone drill was 7.55. Which is decent for his size, but not as good as I was hoping he'd do.

never thought that I'd find myself at two o'clock in the morning,
hanging solo on a corner in uptown Charlotte, having two kind older
black women telling me to stop preaching about war and the prison
industrial complex. Yet there I was, one block from the Charlotte
Convention Center, hailing a taxi for two sixty-something Georgia
peaches who had missed the shuttle back to their motel.
Democrats were masturbating one another last night, pretending that
America is not at war and that the current administration is a friend
to all immigrants, about 100 wet and wild protesters hit the concrete
despite rain by the bucketload and a tough day in the streets. By
Tuesday evening, more than a dozen activists had been arrested
outside of the convention, including some immigrants' rights
picketers who caused a scene as delegates filed inside.
wasn't a conspiracy that more protest news didn't come out of the
Republican National Convention. There weren't utterly significant
events to report, let alone a larger bloodbath for journalists to
hang a week of coverage on. Considering the circumstances,
authorities in Tampa weren't all that unreasonable; the few arrests
that did go down could have been avoided if protesters heeded simple
requests from cops.
that you're making a documentary about baseball. But instead of
filming from the sidelines, reading up on the sport, and interviewing
players, you boldly bombard the mound, kick the pitcher in the dick,
and record the crowd's reaction. You'd probably end up with a movie
about angry baseball fans, and perhaps even be able to pepper it with
footage of yourself getting tackled by infielders.
If one
thing really resonates when this many Republicans convene for a
circle jerk, it's what a bunch of fucking losers they are. Not under
the traditional definition; I'm sure that the ex-jocks, cigarette
boat owners, and other Neanderthals inside of the Tampa Bay Times
Forum think they're pretty sweet, and have spent much of their lives
maligning those who are socially awkward yet smart, kind, and
I knew
that this would be depraved. Not because I came down here with an
anus full of substances; if the $50 million in security preemptively
accomplished one thing, it was to scare me out of smuggling mushrooms
in my undies. Rather, my premonition came at Logan airport, where I
sat stranded in the terminal for two hours with the likes of Mitt
Romney cohort Eric Fehrnstrom, who's best known lately for boosting
Etch A Sketch sales; anti-choice, anti-marijuana, pro-charter school
New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte; and Boston Herald gasbag
Howie Carr, who was rocking short-shorts and Birkenstocks despite the
promise that he'd sport bright-yellow hurricane year
2004 Democratic and Republican national conventions were all about
the bloggers. Mainstream reporters even wrote articles about their
scrappy young counterparts, who in turn provided some long overdue
alternative coverage to the mostly mundane quadrennial festivities.
Four years later it was Twitter that was red hot, though mostly only
insiders, reporters, and attendees took advantage of the service,
since it had yet to fully click with the American public.

Fin Systems - FCS Origin
Origin combines the convenience of detachable fin functionality with the proven power & drive of traditional fixed fins.
The Origin system by FCS is designed for surfers who like the feel and performance of traditional fixed fins.
The concept itself was created by a group of like minded Sydney based surfers and designers craving a specific type of performance, with the added convenience of detach-ability. After years of external development FCS helped to refine the Origin system and fin range in preparation for the global release in 2013.
Below are some of the key features:
- Hybrid construction of specialized polymer and PU foam that provides an exceptional bond to the blank and fiberglass laminate.
- The shape of the plug compliments the footprint of traditional rovings, and the overall shape of the surfboard. It also creates a curve that evenly distributes any extreme impact force.
- Overall size has been kept to a minimum so as not to interrupt the natural flex of the board. The plug length is 133.5mm or 5.3" (16mm shorter than Futures).
- Origin is the thinnest and lightest system on the market.
- The first true removal "glass on" fin.
- Cant angle is built into the fin, not the box.
- Rovings are tightly tucked to minimise drag.
- Side fins feature a flat inside face to mimic traditional fixed fins.
- Fins are available in composite Glass Flex (GF) and Performance Core (PC).
- Origin is a pre-glass system (installed before the board is glassed).
- Unlike most systems, the fin rolls in from the side; a recess detail in the fin marries with an undercut in the plug.
- Screws pass through the fin and when tightened create an opposing force, completing the "lateral locking system".
- The roving base, combined with the lateral locking system, completely eliminates all movement at the base of the fin.
- The perimeter of the fin base sits recessed within the plug, allowing for a seamless transition between the fin and the surface of the board, while enhancing water flow.
- The stiff base translates to an extremely responsive fin setup that transfers the surfer's energy directly into the fin
- Rovings translate to more drive through the turning arc, and smother rail to rail transitions.

Grand vision tensely coexists with tight control and attention to details in Amy Stacey Curtis's installation "SPACE." Every two years from 2000 to 2016, the artist is creating large-scale multi-part installations in former Maine mills. Themes have included movement, sound, and change. This year it is space — in many aspects.
Comprised of nine individually titled installations, "SPACE" occupies three relatively raw spaces of the otherwise renovated former Carleton Woolen Mill, now the Winthrop Commerce Center. Entering these spaces feels like joining another dimension where time has slowed down. But first visitors have to read the warning notices about entering at your own risk, carrying a cellphone for emergencies per fire code, and so on. The artist's voice in this and all other instructions pertaining to the pieces is halfway between concerned über-mother and strict lab director. Of course we appreciate her concern for our welfare and that of the work, but the detailed information and pronouncements of the do's and don'ts come close to being excruciating. For Curtis, the works would not be complete without these instructions, nor without the audience's participation. That may be true figuratively speaking, but practically it only applies to a few of the installations.
The order of experience in "SPACE" is specified by the artist. "flux IV" consists of a row of 99 square posts, painted white, arranged by diminishing height. Participants are asked to don white gloves and move a metal ball onto the next lower post. Sounds straightforward enough, yet the surprise lies in the steel ball's considerable weight and the relative instability of the target posts. Audience participation becomes evidentiary in "inversion II" and "place." The former gets relocated and transformed from a convex into a concave shape; the latter requires turning over slate tiles that are colored differently on either side. With each engagement these two pieces near their preconceived completion.
In "undulation IV" we leave behind a wake of movement in a field of energy, as a multitude of dowels suspended from the ceiling register our path. "labyrinth VI" requires trust, total surrender, and disregard of logic while following the artist's auditory instructions for moving through a floor grid.
"SPACE" overall feels like a labyrinth without walls but with tightly controlled paths. Some elements may make participants feel like lab rats in a highly regulated experiment, while others allow for some creativity, even a sense of play. Both these extremes are successful in their own way. The work I found least engaging depended on relatively passive participation, such as the box-like "interval II," which participants enter at mid-point to approach lights at either end of its dark interior to a droning soundtrack. However, the last piece, "progression III," is something of a coup de théâtre. While we manipulate space in most of the other installations, here roles are reversed in an all-body experience that takes participants down the rabbit hole.

Candidate withdraws from race, cites threatening phone call
PAMLICO COUNTY - A Democratic candidate for Pamlico County Commissioner plans to withdraw from the race due to a threatening phone call to his home.
Roger Bullis said the threat was the latest in escalating campaign hostility.
"An anonymous phone call [Monday] night with an obscene epithet launched at my wife along with a veiled threat about 'going back to where you came from' is the last straw in a process where I have witnessed the hatefulness of too many," Bullis said in a statement.
He and his wife, Pat, moved five years ago from Wisconsin to Oriental.
Bullis said his campaign signs have been vandalized and he has been verbally attacked on public streets because of his Democratic position, and it all became too much with the addition of the phone threat.
"Enough," Bullis said as part of his statement.
Christine Mele, the Republican Township Two incumbent against whom Bullis was running, spoke out Wednesday against whoever made the phone call.
"I am outraged that acts of intimidation would occur in the place that I love and that I call home," Mele said in a phone conversation with a reporter.
Bullis has not yet formally withdrawn his candidacy, according to an elections official in Pamlico County.
Bullis' wife chose to not file a report with authorities, according to Pamlico County Sheriff Bill Sawyer Jr.


text: Hello all. I didn't see a place in the forum for the new Chevrolet "Sonic" - I bought a new Sonic LTZ Hatchback a month ago. I'm extremely pleased - great commuting car, handles like a Mercedez (better, actually - I've had one of those pieces of crap), very little room for any storage space. It's getting about 31 mpg in the city. I wish it had about two more feet of space behing the rear seat, but, well, you know what they say about wishing. I love the car. I could use some suggestions about a trailer hitch or a rack on top. This car is not made for a trailer hitch - I've looked underneath and it appears that it would be impossible to install a "Draw-tight" style hitch (I only want one to carry a bike rack, don't intend to haul any sort of trailer). I'm pretty sure I will have to get a rack installed. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I might find a roof rack? I probably need to have it installed, too - I would be afraid to mess with something like that. I'm in the D/FW area. Thanks!

E-readers not turning the page on literature quite yet
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The number of people reading digitally with tablets and e-readers is increasing, but is flipping through pages of a physical book old news?
A report released by the Pew Research Center said 28 percent of Americans 18 and over read at least one e-book in 2013.
"What we're seeing is a month to month increase in the number of people using e-books, and the number of e-books people are checking out," said Robert Wright, the director of the Idaho Falls Public Library.
According to Pew, in the under-30 crowd 50 percent of adults 18 and over, read at least one e-book in the past year. At the Idaho Falls Public Library, librarian Jenniffer Hentzen said the older crowd is really catching on.
"The older adults are coming to us to help them get the e-readers set up and functioning for them to use," said Hentzen. "We're teaching them how to use them."
So have we turned the page on reading a physical book? Not exactly. The Pew Research Center reports out of the adults who have read at least one e-book in the last year, only 5 percent did so without reading a print book, as well.
"By far, print is what we do most of," said Wright.
The rise in people e-reading hasn't affected circulation numbers at the Idaho Falls Public Library.
"Not everything is available on e-book yet, so they still have to come in here to get what they want," said Hentzen.
Many people don't know that the library offers e-book rentals. Jessica Collins found out Tuesday afternoon, but even with her brand new Nook, she said it won't keep her from reading books in print.
"The only reason I have the Nook is so that I can read in the dark when the baby's asleep, or when I'm on the go," said Collins. "It's easier that way."
At The Bookstore on Broadway, Jason Dejourdan said he doesn't believe e-reading has altered business.
"They don't want something that's just uploaded," said Dejourdan. "They want the pulp, they want the pages."
With the average American reading five books a year, Dejourdan thinks the "real thing" just won't be forgotten.
"The people that I've mostly spoken with agree that these books have a soul," said Dejourdan. "You get to flip around the pages, you get to hold it; it's physical."

Hair Products for Men
Aside from Guidos still caught up in the "overzealous hair gel" fad that we lived through during the 1990s, most men in the 21st century are choosing to style their hair with little to no product at all.
Aside from Guidos who are still caught up in the "overzealous hair gel" fad that we all lived through during the 1990s, most men in the 21st century are choosing to style their hair with little to no product at all. Not to say that dreads, Mohawks, mullets and other bad style choices have completely vanished, but most guys are comfortable enough with a good haircut and a bit of pomade to get them through the day. But if there is a style that has caught your eye that you want to try, like the 1950s Dapper Dan look popularized by Mad Men or the messy just-out-of-bed Joel McHale look, or you are in desperate need of a hair volumizer for your thinning mane, here are our picks for the best hair products on the market today.
Hair Spray: Clinique Hair Care $15
This stuff is so sought after that on the Saks Fifth Avenue site, people are actually limited to only ordering six bottles. Clinique's hair spray gives you great control without making your hair crunchy and hard or causing any unwanted buildup. It's also non-aerosol so it's better for the environment!
Styling Putty:Bed Head Manipulator $13
What's great about this product is that it's carried in many pharmacy chains so you don't have to make a trip to the salon to grab a tub of the stuff. It's great for any hair length and can be used to spike, hold and texturize your hair. You don't need much of it; like any hair product, you'll end up with greasy hair if you use too much.
Extreme Hold Gel: Kiehl's Strong Hold Styling Gel $15
Not only is this gel jam-packed full of conditioning extracts like soybean, sesame and vitamin E, this no-alcohol gel will control any style that needs a strong hold without drying out, keeping your hair looking as natural as possible.
Pomade: Murray's Original Pomade $3
Since 1926 this pomade has been a go-to for anyone looking for the best bang for their buck. Murray's adds texture and shine while holding your hairstyle in place all day. Be sure to wash it out every day since it can get pretty greasy!
Thickening Spray: Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray $26
Part thickening spray and part hair spray, this Bumble and Bumble product is great for any hair types that suffer from thinning hair. Spray it on damp hair for maximum outcome.
De-frizz: Philip B Anti-Frizz Formula 57 $35
Anti-frizz products aren't only for women with long hair; guys have to deal with the perils of humidity as well. Philip B's Anti-Frizz Formula is enhanced with Vitamin E, lavender, jojoba, rice bran and soybean oils to properly condition and control any strays.
Straightening Cream: Marc Anthony Instant Straightening Cream $7
After you shampoo, work a dollop of this goo into your locks and grab your girlfriend's hair dryer; if you really want straighter hair you're going to have to work for it!

Finding the Key to Ethical and Effective Supports in the Classroom Environment
The number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has grown exponentially within the past two decades. Acknowledging that accurate numbers are difficult to measure for a disability defined by characteristics, the Centers for Disease Control Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network reports that currently approximately one in every eighty-eight children is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As a result of this reported prevalence, many sources have reported on the subject, including professional journals, the media, and personal accounts. With so much information, it is difficult to know what is to be trusted. The professional bias is to lean toward the scientific information found in peer-reviewed journals. However, it is important to recognize that there is bias in every source of information. Research, and sources of research funding, are also questionable. In a summit of experts held at Harvard University by the Autism Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) in December 2011, the ethical and moral issues regarding research agendas and funding sources for ASD research was the topic of discussion. A major point made by Aari Ne'eim, president of ASAN, was that the agenda for funding research is not in sync with the mandates of disability policy (Autism is one of the 13 disabilities listed in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1991), which addresses quality of life issues. The vast majority of funded research is focused on cure and understanding of the etiology of ASD. Secondly, most educational research is aimed at the early childhood and early elementary aged child. Therefore, there is a bias following this same direction in the professional literature, because what gets funded and demonstrates results is what gets published. For every specific strategy study that demonstrates a result, the question remains: how many studies have been conducted that do not show a measurable effect? It seems only logical that journals would be interested in publishing articles that demonstrate an effect so that a conclusion or inference can be made to inform future research.The media have covered ASD in news specials, on talk shows, and on news shows. Many of the guests on these shows have a personal experience and/or agenda that they want to share. For instance, celebrity Jenny McCarthy has gone on shows to share her views and concerns on the effects of vaccinations and the rise in the number of children who present with an ASD. Movies, and television shows from Law and Order to Parenthood, have been made both about and including characters with the ASD label, and show them from various points of view. Again, this can present a confusing and sometimes contradictory view of autism spectrum disorders.
Add to the mix that it is referred to as a "spectrum disorder." By definition, it is a bio-neurologically based developmental disability defined by characteristics in three core areas: communication, social interaction, and behaviors and/or special interests. All have complex overlap and crossover, and each characteristic can vary along a spectrum of severity and/or intensity. With all the variables and variability associated with ASD, specific strategies of support cannot be considered uniquely or globally effective to students with an ASD. Simply put, there are no "autism only" strategies, nor are there strategies that will work for every student with the diagnosis. What all this means for educators is that a filter is needed to glean relevant information from the many sources of information.
When a student labeled with an ASD is going to enter a teacher's classroom, the teacher should reference first and foremost the information from the family and child, the Individualized Education Plan (IEP), and all relevant reports directly related to the student. For older students who have the invaluable skill of self-advocacy, they themselves are the best source of information. For ways to develop their understanding and guide their thinking when supporting a student on the spectrum, teachers should review the professional literature, with author advocates such as Anne Donnellan, Martha Leary, Herb Lovett, and PaulaKluth, advocacy organizations such Autism Society of America, or the real voice of individuals with autism, the Autism Self Advocacy Network, as well as the documented first-hand accounts of those with ASD.The most accurate and useful information to educators has come from first-hand accounts. Temple Grandin, Donna Williams, SeanBarron, Stephen Shore, Stephen Hinkle, and many more have provided insights into the perceptions and challenges of ASD. These insights promote an understanding of the difficulty in communication, executive function, sensory integration and movement challenges often perceived as "behaviors" of individuals with ASD. The bias with these accounts is that each is personal. Although every person with an ASD label experiences their own autism somewhat differently, first-hand accounts are still the most valuable for educators, because understanding leads to more meaningful supports by those who do not experience an ASD.
Our understanding of the disorders is still evolving. When interacting with and supporting a student with an ASD, it is important to remember that the disorder is pervasive in its impact on the quality of life for the individual and his/her interactions with the people and environment they encounter. Communication issues and social interaction challenges are often, if not always, linked. For example, if a student has difficulty communicating using words to gain the attention of a peer to initiate play, it is obviously going to limit the type of social interaction he or she will have with peers. What may appear to be "behaviors" for "no apparent reason" (poking or pushing a peer to get attention) may result from the frustration of not being able to communicate in a form that peers are familiar with and respond to on a daily basis: spoken language. It is important for educators to recognize the linkage and not respond just to the poking or pushing behavior but look to the functional intent of that behavior – in this example, the attempt to gain a peer's attention to initiate play. The topography of a behavior does not tell you the intent; we need to investigate and gain insight into the purpose for each student.As educators, we must see the child first, understand the uniqueness of that child and his or her specific challenges related to their autism spectrum disorder, and work on supports that bridge the gap of understanding. We can then "translate" those "behaviors" for others so that the culture of understanding and support can grow.

Division 1 of the NHRA was always a hotbed of drag racing, and one of the most important locations was the airport-based dragstrip on the outskirts of York, Pennsylvania. With regional stars like Dave Strickler, Bill Jenkins, Bruce Larson, Jim Liberman, and George Curetin within a couple hours drive, York US30 was a powerhouse when the planes were not landing on the asphalt. It hosted notable events like the NHRA Summernationals and the infamous Super Stock Magazine Nationals before finally succumbing to changing needs in 1979 after 20 great years. Many never forgot it.
That included Darwin Doll, whose long tenure as NHRA's Division 1 Director was quite notable as well. For Doll, the idea was to host a reunion for the facility's workers, racers, and fans on the historic York County Fairgrounds in the city proper. Now, a dozen years later, it has become a hallmark show for drag racing fans in the Northeast, held annually on a Friday-Saturday schedule the second weekend in July. In additional to the static car show, racetrack owner/promoter Bob McCardle of Beaver Springs Dragway north of Harrisburg sets Sunday aside for the one-day Nostalgia Nationals, done in tribute to the York facility and featuring dozens of historic cars in action.
Like many racing shows, the two events are for all makes and models. The York portion is twofold - an invitational indoor display that fills both exhibitions area of Memorial Hall, and an open outdoor 'cruise-in' that takes place in an adjacent lot, complete with judging. Obviously, the drag race portion at Beaver Springs runs the gamut as well, but both events had enough Chevrolet power to sate any appetite (despite being focus on a tribute to Ford in 2013!)
Racecars needed racers, and one outstanding part of the York/BSD experience are the number of veteran drivers and team members who make the trek to central Pennyslvania each summer. Numerous autograph sessions, special interviews, and appearances are part of this. Couple this to the significant number of historical cars that come in from around the nation, and you have an idea of just how cool it is to again 'be THERE!'
For more info on next year's event, scheduled for July 11-12, 2014 and, especially important, to be a tribute to GM, you can find more info posted at http://www.yorknostalgia.com. Racers can go to http://www.beaversprings.com for info on Sunday's program on July 13.

Don's Pen Test Summit Talk - DIY Ethical Hacking Career
I mentioned this off-hand in another thread, but I will be presenting at the SANS Pen Test Summit next Monday at 3:05 in Vegas. As one could guess from the recent interviews I have done as well as the career-minded focus of this site and ChicagoCon, my topic is:
DIY Ethical Hacking Career
Remodeling your career for little to no money down
It basically is a talk about getting into the ethical hacking / pen testing field, finding your place in it and ways to get your foot in the door (or keep it there) with an investment in mostly time. I'm sure I'll be posting the slide deck after the event.

PR-B receives report on solar heating
After an assessment from the Pine River-based Rural Renewable Energy Alliance (RREAL), the Pine River-Backus School has received a report detailing the cost and benefits of solar heat for the school's bus garage.
According to the report, a solar air heating system for the garage could potentially provide 30 percent of the garage's heating requirements. The report says the system could provide heat for three or four decades.
The cost of the system would be $27,492. The panels are estimated to pay for themselves in approximately 31 years. The report and its findings will be presented to the school's facility team Oct. 3.
No decisions have been made regarding the system.
"Considering the cost, lengthy paypack period and the fact that it would cover a minimal percentage of heating needs at the bus garage, I personally don't see it as being a viable option," said PR-B School District business manager Jolene Bengtson. "I think the public would probably be split on it.
"We have a large number that would see the price and payback and choose not to support it. Then we have a large number that are very environmentally conscious and support it regardless of cost. I think solar heat, or any alternative heating option, is good to consider but must be looked at realistically with available funding and maintenance," Bengtson said.
RREAL did similar assessments for Eagle View Elementary School in Breezy Point and other schools.

Crosslake, Gull Lake recreation areas recognized
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, recently selected its southern Headwaters recreation section as its 2012 Government Employee Safety Now Award recipient.
The section includes park rangers from the Crosslake Recreation Area and the Gull Lake Recreation Area in East Gull Lake. Both areas are highly visited recreation sites, collectively boasting more than 1 million visits in 2012.
The team's "safety-first" approach led to accomplishing numerous missions with zero lost-time accidents, water-related fatalities or reportable first aid cases. The safety record was accomplished during one of the worst flooding events in the history of Gull Lake Dam. The record-setting May 2012 rainstorm tied the highest reservoir level ever recorded in the 100-year history of the dam.
A key aspect of the team's plan included implementing an effective, reliable and adaptive use of resources to provide safe and healthy recreational experiences to current and future generations.

Online holiday season sales grew 14% to $42.3 billion, a little short of comScore's pre-season forecast.
The online measurement firm originally projected that online sales during the November and December period would increase 16% to $43.4 billion. However, after a strong start online sales fizzled a bit in early December and never quite regained enough momentum to achieve the firm's earlier target.
The latter portion of the season saw several days with particularly strong growth, including Free Shipping Day on Monday, Dec. 17 (up 76% to $1.013 billion) and Christmas Day (up 36% to $288 million, but they could not make up for the spending growth shortfall earlier in the month, according to comScore. While the holiday season started off with strong growth rates on the upper end of the mid-teens through the heavy promotional period, a December swoon in consumer confidence gave way to softer than expected buying during the critical shopping weeks in early to mid-December, from which growth rates never fully recovered.
"The 2012 online holiday season was once again a very strong season with growth rates in the mid-teens as we reached record-setting spending levels," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni. "This year's growth rate is essentially on a par with last year's. But despite many positives for the online sector, this year's season did not quite perform up to our initial expectation for growth rates in excess of 16% as we fell a billion dollars short of our expected total of $43.4 billion."
A very healthy 16% growth rate through the promotional period of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday quickly gave way to a consumer pullback that comScore attributed to concerns over the fiscal cliff.
"With Congress deadlocked throughout December, growth rates softened even further and never quite made up enough ground to reach our original expectation," Fulgoni said. "While it is typical to see growth rates subside slightly during the week after Thanksgiving, the amplified and sustained lull this year came as something of a surprise. As it turns out, this December swoon coincided closely with a significant decline in the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index that was attributed in large part to consumers' fiscal cliff concerns."

Facetious term for lesbians. Used prominently by comedienne Judy Tenuta in the album title: Attention Butt Pirates and Lesbeterians. The word sounds similar to the Protestant Presbyterian sect, reinforcing the idea of describing a distinct in-group.

- Power of a court to adjudicate cases and issue orders.
- Territory within which a court or government agency may properly exercise its power.See, e.g. Ruhrgas AG v. Marathon Oil Co. et al., 526 U.S. 574 (1999).
jurisdiction: an overview
One of the most fundamental questions of law is whether a given court has jurisdiction to preside over a given case. A jurisdictional question may be broken down into three components:
- whether there is jurisdiction over the person (in personam),
- whether there is jurisdiction over the subject matter, or res (in rem), and
- whether there is jurisdiction to render the particular judgment sought.
The term jurisdiction is really synonymous with the word "power". Any court possesses jurisdiction over matters only to the extent granted to it by the Constitution, or legislation of the sovereignty on behalf of which it functions. The question of whether a given court has the power to determine a jurisdictional question is itself a jurisdictional question. Such a legal question is referred to as "jurisdiction to determine jurisdiction."
Subject matter jurisdiction is the court's authority to decide the issue in controversy such as a contracts issue, or a civil rights issue. State courts have general jurisdiction, meaning that they can hear any controversy except those prohibited by state law (some states, for example, deny subject matter jurisdiction for a case that does not involve state citizens and did not take place in the state) and those allocated to federal courts of exclusive jurisdiction such as bankruptcy issues (see 28 U.S.C. § 1334). Federal courts have limited jurisdiction in that they can only hear cases that fall both within the scope defined by the Constitution in Article III Section 2 and Congressional statutes (See 28 U.S.C. §1251, §1253, §1331, §1332).
Territorial jurisdiction is the court's power to bind the parties to the action. This law determines the scope of federal and state court power. State court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment and the federal court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment.
Other forms of jurisdiction include appellate jurisdiction (the power of one court to correct the errors of another, lower court), concurrent jurisdiction (the notion that two courts might share the power to hear cases of the same type, arising in the same place), and diversity jurisdiction (the power of Federal courts to hear cases in which the parties are from different states). An example showing the interplay of diversity jurisdiction with subject-matter jurisdiction is Grupo Dataflux v. Atlas Global Group, L. P. (02-1689), 541 U.S. 567 (2004)

US heading for bankruptcy?
Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Mar 12, 2007
Walker is now on a cross country 'fiscal wakeup' crusade hoping to stir up the citizenry to pressure politicians to take remedial action to save our ship of state from bankruptcy. He warns of a lack of leadership and truth telling intended to lull our people into a deep slumber and continued delusion of our financial well-being. But, a far greater threat than the obscene Defense budget and our penchant for waging wars, is the massive entitlement programs which if left unchecked will most surely cripple us financially. The economic reality is fast approaching when the baby boomers generation will be jumping on the entitlement bandwagon in January 2008. Three years later, these new retirees will be entitled to Medicare coverage further draining the dwindling resources of the US treasury.

To start putting our fiscal house in order, social security benefits and medicare should be raised to age 70. I realize this will only help a bit, but 65 then 67 assumes a shorter life span. We are all more healthy and living longer in the 21 century, and we should be encouraged to work longer. Like many seniors I can proudly say I'm over 65 and hold down a full time job.
I thought the Republicans were the party of fiscal restraint. George Bush has done more to bankcrupt the U.S. economy than any previous President. We should not be pouring Billions of Dollars into a futile war on terror in Iraq. Now, we hear Halliburton is moving its Corporate headquarters to Dubai and presumably taking all it's ill gotten gains from the U.S. taxpayers with them.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. I read somewhere that the Deptartment of labor Statistics calculated that the average Boomer will reture wil a mere $12,000.00 in liquid assets.
Somethings gotta give...

Jag Singh: Perhaps this much respected David Walker has a seat waiting for him on the Carlyle Group? It's never too late to sell out. Either that, or early Alzheimer's may account for his present campaign.
No one who belittles the cost of our wars deserves our respect.
Note that Mr. Walker does not suggest that the US will balance its budget by refusing to honor Treasury Bonds. Like entitlements, they also are backed only by the full faith and credit of the US.
Unlike the cost of war, entitlement funds are spent in this country, paying the grocer, the landlord, the retail store. Reducing social security will pull the plug from under the middle class.
We are on our neo-liberal way to having a third-world country in each of our cities, and third-world towns in each of our counties.

with the upcoming demise of the RSX, i thought i'd try a 2 door TSX. not very attractive in this guise. it has Tempo overtones . . . and last generation Civic coupe too.
with optional carbon fiber panels left unpainted:
Great looking car. I like it the second way the best.
the second one is awsome.
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
actually that may be a reality soon enough. The RSX is getting the axe after this year and rumored two door TSX will replace. Artandcolour Honda is watching
I see that thing, and all I can think is Maserati Biturbo. Given the quality issues Acura had with it's C/D tester, was that a coincedence on your part, Art?
i don't mind the Biturbo reference. it WAS hot looking for the time!here's another version. i posted these on another forum and one of the posters said it could be the new Prelude too. so i shortened the rear seat area and lengthened in front of the windshield a little, and made a proper Prelude too. well, as proper as 10 minutes work can be considered.
A little high? But then again all my cars are almost scraping the ground.
I dont like it......???it doesnt look near as good as the four door
Quote:I dont like it......???it doesnt look near as good as the four door
good looking car. perhaps a little of what you said, but overall...I'd look twice at it. Can you increase the wheel size, polish them?and how about a set of round tailights ala Ferrari, either recessed or flat mounted on the rear panel. and a small lip of a spoiler on the trunk edge?

Film & Discussion: Black Gold by Mark & Nick Francis
Multinational coffee companies now rule our shopping malls and supermarkets and dominate the industry worth over $80 billion, making coffee the most valuable trading commodity in the world after Big Oil. But while we continue to pay for our lattes and cappuccinos, the price paid to coffee farmers remains so low that many have been forced to abandon their coffee fields. Nowhere is this paradox more evident than in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.
One Ethiopian, Tadesse Meskela, is a man on a mission to save his 74,000 struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy. As his farmers strive to harvest some of the highest quality coffee beans on the international market, he travels the world in an attempt to find buyers willing to pay a fair price. While the coffee trade is vital to the politics, survival, and economies of many developing nations, the industry's pricing and futures are decided in conference rooms and on stock exchange floors in some of the world's wealthiest cities. Tadesse's story shows how Fair Trade certification is able to help the coffee farmers of Ethiopia.

SBIFF Movie Spotlight: Me + Her
Love knows no boundaries
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - With animated films like Lego Movie coming out soon, and the great success of Golden Globe winner Frozen, there is no doubt that animation continues to explore our imagination. Filmmaker Joseph Oxford gives us a world we have never seen before in his animated film Me + Her. The grandiose world of cardboard.
In this tale of love, Jack Cardboard, the protagonist, mourns the loss of his beloved Jill. He yearns for his lost love so much so that he is willing to try anything to be with her once again. This ultimately leads him to the recycling plant where he must make that leap of faith that could potentially bring his Jill back to life.
Me + Her could easily be one of the best animated films at this festival. Its sweet, romantic, alluring love story will capture the hearts of audiences everywhere. It will be surprising if it leaves a dry eye in the house. The photography is an amazing visual experience.
Oxford took some time out of his busy schedule to give NewsChannel 3 an in depth look behind the film.
What was the inspiration behind this film?
I was killing time while rendering out an animation sequence on my computer and I made a very crude version of one of the puppet's heads with some of the items strewn about my desk: a scrap of cardboard, a rubber band, and a pencil. I grew a liking to him and started thinking about the world he would inhabit, and I crafted a story around that.
How long did it take you to make this film?
That crude version of the puppet head was made in late 2007, but I didn't really start writing and building the sets and characters until December of 2008.
I made (and remade) all of the puppets and a good portion of the sets between then and March 2013, when I moved the production down to Los Angeles. From there, we spent 7 months building the remaining sets and shooting them.
We finished postproduction on January 8, 2014.
Why choose a cardboard world?
Again, going back to that original puppet I made, I guess there was just never any question in my mind that he would be made out of anything else. Because he was made out of cardboard, I figured his world would be made out of cardboard as well.
It also didn't hurt that cardboard is a pretty low/no-cost material, and I knew I was going to need a lot of it.
Talk about some of those challenges and hardships in making this film.
I could write a tome on the challenges and hardships of making this film. Independent filmmaking is incredibly challenging on its own, but there are a couple of standout problems:
Because the characters were made out of cardboard, the delicate joints would break after prolonged use. There were back ups for the main characters, but some of the more involved sequences pushed their limits. Fixing key puppets or set pieces on the day slowed us down tremendously.
Additionally, we didn't have the luxury of building the sets and shooting in a proper sound stage. We were in a dirty old warehouse in East L.A. in the middle of a heat wave. With no air conditioning and being forced to keep the roll up doors shut for lighting, the heat was crippling and killing the whole crew, and we were working on sets where a drop of sweat would cost us the shot. Luckily our crew didn't mutiny and we were able to finish up the week.
What got you interested in animation?
I've always had an appreciation for animation, but never intended to pursue making animated films. The little I have done was born out of necessity: I didn't know any actors or crew members, so it was really one of few ways I could tell stories by myself.
Originally, I was going to shoot ME + HER by myself, before realizing what I had written was a bit more ambitious than that.
What message do you want to leave audiences with after watching this film?
I just hope they're able to get invested in these characters. If they can feel for these pieces of cardboard, then I think we've succeeded.
How does it feel to have your film be accepted into the acclaimed Santa Barbara International Film Festival?
The positive responses from the festivals have been a really great cherry on top of the whole process. Santa Barbara is a beautiful city and I've only heard great things about the festival, so I'm really excited to have the opportunity to screen our film there.
Is there anything anything else you would like say about your film that we haven't covered?
Because all of our crew members so graciously volunteered their time, we had a semi-rotating crew based on their availability and it ended up being over 100 people.
Me + Her will screen at the 29th Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Friday, January 31 at 10:10 p.m. and Sunday, February 2 at 7:20 p.m. Both screenings will be at the Metro 4 Theatre.

A few weeks ago I removed 4 frames of my 8 frame bottom brood box leaving a pattern similar to this XOOXXOOX. I then added a medium super of mostly empty foundationless frames above, and pulled frames from my top deep in the same pattern as done in the bottom box. I placed my top deep above the medium super. When I checked them yesterday, The bees still have not drawn any comb in the medium super. but have drawn lot's of comb in the top box. They did not draw any comb in the bottom box. They just backfilled it with nectar. I also saw about 5 hatched queen cells. These were not there when I checked them last.
I am guessing they swarmed at some point and I did not notice it. This hive had recently been queenless, and I had just grown a new queen, who had just come on-line the last time I checked them.

A few months ago, my dad showed me a picture of his mother, Linda, that he keeps in his wallet. It was pretty tattered and rough around the edges. For his birthday, I fixed up the photo and made it into a 5×7.
There are several things I love about this photo. For one thing, if you look closely, you can see that her nail polish is chipped. I don't wear nail polish often, but when I do I wear it until it is chipped and awful looking. Now I know where I get that from!
I also noticed that she's wearing her engagement ring on her finger. Gerald and Linda were married when she was about 16. I'm not sure how long they were engaged before that so she could be as young as 15 in this photo. On the other hand, I have no idea if she wore a wedding band, so this could be after she was married. I'd say she's somewhere between 15 and 18.
She's also wearing what looks like my grandfather's class or Navy ring around her neck. I wonder what happened to all these items. More questions!
We don't look strikingly alike, but there are definitely similarities. The wavy hair, the unruly eyebrows and, of course, the chipped nail polish. I've definitely got a little Linda in me!
- What happened to Linda's engagement ring?
- Whose ring did she wear around her neck?
- What happened to it?

New School Open to Hills Students Living in PAUSD
Original post made by Neighbor, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Dec 5, 2007
However, this offer from the Los Altos School District may come with a quid-pro-quo. As a former resident of Los Altos Hills I know that many parents on the Los Altos side of the line would like their high school students to attend Gunn High School.
Gunn High School is much closer for many of these LASD students than Los Altos High School. Gunn enjoys a very fine reputation amongst all Los Altos Hills residents from both sides of the line. I hope there will be space available at Gunn when these LASD students start applying for inter-district transfers.
a resident of Santa Rita (Los Altos)
on Dec 6, 2007 at 12:54 pm
Quietly last week (through the Santa Clara County Board of Ed) Bullis Charter School (BCS) successfully amended their charter to give preference in enrollment to students in the former Bullis-Purissima attendance area.
Incredibly, this means that the sparsely-populated area of Los Altos Hills will now, in effect, have not ONE but TWO schools serving its needs above the rest of the LASD district.
This has many implications, one being that the numbers used by the LASD-hired demographer to predict the longevity of the various boundary scenarios will now be way off, since it predicted a substantial number of students in the Almond and Santa Rita attendance areas would attend BCS. (Many of these students will likely be shut out in the attendance lottery by their neighbors in the Hills.) You may recall, the boundary scenario the LASD board picked did not have the most longevity to begin with, and now it is destined to fail almost from the get go.
The LASD Board should just give the new Bullis-Purissama campus to BCS and stop punishing the rest of their constituents.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Dec 7, 2007 at 2:41 am
I'd heard about some of the boundary shifting from a LA friend of mine whose kid is getting bumped to a school farther away. And now this, yeow.
The LASD board seems to have an almost adversarial relationship with its constituents. I mean when they closed Bullis in the first place why didn't they let the Bullis Charter families have it instead of a corner of the middle school?
It just seems more about brinksmanship than wise educational policy.

I can say KP has complained a couple times the past couple years about how frequently he is used deep middle, and how rarely the ball comes his way.
But that isnt KP being upset about the scheme, rather being upset how often he was played in that role. Rolle was very poor as a deep safety, so fewell did not use him much there, instead depending really almost exclusively on KP there.
But with the show Stevie Brown put on this season playing deep middle, Fewell now has a guy who can split those snaps with KP, and let KP spend much more time up involved in the action.
Of course both KP and Brown are FAs, but them both coming back would be mutually beneficial to both.
