This area has weak mobile reception so I put my phone into flight mode to save the battery; a cunning plan foiled by the network sending me a "welcome to france" text message (which I pay for) every time I stitch it back on !
So I was wake intermittently from 3am and finally got up at 7. It was still getting light and there was a heavy cold mist. It was very nippy. But the washroom was a bit warmer so feeling brave I tested the showers. They were hot even though there are only two of us on this site. So my E5 even got me a hot shower. The bus into town was E3 return so the move has been a bit of a result financially. France is very expensive now; even a loaf of bread is a pound.
I had a 35 minute wait for the bus. It was still very misty and the sun was yet to have much impact. I was wearing sandals to give my feet a change and my toes froze. That bus ride was so like toasting my toes.
Angers has this huge castle; the walls are 30m high although inside its much less imposing. That said it does have an enormous tapestry and fantastic views from the ramparts. The sun was now out and sun creme was required.
After the castle I headed for the tourist office; used their loo and browsed the "cycling the loire" books. This was to be a theme but the best one was E12 for something the size of a ladybird book. So I went to look around town to find a bookshop and eventually bought the same book at the full price but found and visited an extra two bookshops. Not knowing any brand names means you have to walk past them to find out if they're a bookshop. It's a nice town with lots of interesting buildings scattered around. A half timbered traditional building used as a woodshed for instance.
Then headed for a garden fot the last of my self made sandwiches; then to another park by the railway line to kill some time before the bus. Got six networks and two unsecured. Neither had a net connection though. Wardriving would be hard work. So did some blogging instead. A succession of girls came past dragging suitcases; a beauty course I guess. The noise of the wheels was really loud; with one you could even hear a doppler effect
The bus back went from a different stop but it was sortable. Then to try and sort out the next night. I'd sent an email from my phone earlier but predictive text is unhelpful when your trying to write in french. So I checked the website but it didn't say anything about opening times. So had to ring at 38p per minute and she was open, helpful and chatty!
I now realise that its a weedy trip from here but an open campsite is progress. Anyway has a dinner of garlic, choritzo and pasta cooked as the sun was setting. Great weather in the end. was able to hose down the bike which got rid of a terrible squeaking. Walk around the village before bed and a final blogging session in bed. Sleep at 9pm.

The White Ferns have advanced to the super-six stage of the ICC Women's One Day World Cup after comfortably beating Pakistan by seven wickets at Barabati Stadium in India.
Following a brilliant display of bowling from Rachel Candy (five for 19), captain Suzie Bates (65 not out) then led the effort with the bat to knock off Pakistan's first-innings total of 104 after 29.4 overs.
New Zealand made a shaky start in their chase, struggling at 39 for three, before Bates and Katie Perkins regained the upper-hand, showing plenty of patience along the way.
Pakistan were unable to make another breakthrough and succumbed to their second loss of the tournament.
Bates made it back-to-back half-centuries, while Perkins grabbed her first opportunity of the campaign with a mature 25 not out from 43 balls.
Earlier Candy, having missed the first game, seemingly adapted to the Indian conditions with ease and was unplayable for much of her ten overs.
Her first international five wicket-bag highlighted an impressive all-round effort with the ball from the White Ferns. Nicola Browne chimed in with a couple of wickets, while Kate Broadmore conceded just 15 runs off her full compliment.
It's the right time for the White Ferns to be hitting form, with their next match against a strong Australian side. With the teams taking their points through to the super-six stage, both sides will be well aware that every victory counts.
The Trans-Tasman rivals square off on Tuesday.

When does one typically feed pollen patties?
When does one typically feed pollen patties?
Generally I only feed when needed....from my experience, in the winter I only put on a pollen patty when I thought they were out. As it was, they never touched it and wintered well.
Short answer is more of a question....what is causing you to think they need a pollen patty?
Chris in NJ
Nothing causes me to think they need one, I just need to know why people use them, and if they need them, when?
Pollen and pollen substitutes are used to provide protein. Protein is needed for raising brood, so pollen patties are often fed in the spring before natural pollen is available and the bees have started (or to get the bees started) raising brood.
Ideas on supplimental feeding of pollen substitutes are rapidly evolving. Commercial beekeepers who have to maximize their colony numbers and per colony production are feeding more and more suppliment. This tells me that it pays. Of course, those often migratory bees are put under far more stress than the colony sitting year round in a good location with many sources of pollen. Commercial bees are mostly moved from one monoculture to another either to pollinate it or collect a honey flow. I plan to start feeding mine substitute from Global Patties four weeks prior to when my bees should start collecting pollen this spring. They have one formulation that contains 14% actual pollen. I am not saying it is what should be done or needs to be done, it is just what I have decided is in my best interests.
I've never been one to feed pollen patties, but I trapped my own pollen this year and have quite a bit in the freezer, would like to use it in the spring when making splits/nucs, giving each nuc some pollen to get them off to a good start. I'm thinking of just pouring the pollen granules into an empty brood comb, or is there some reason that mixing it with honey or syrup and making a patty would be better? John
Down here the club and old timers are talking about feeding pollen away from the hive because of the hive beetle problem. It was in the mid 60s day before yesterday and the pollen feeders where chock full of bees.
I made some fondant last night - half a batch, 5 lbs sugar - and dumped in twice the recommended pollen substitute. My bees have what I plant in my yard, what's in the nursery at home depot, grass weed and tree pollen, but the last 3 are all subject to drought.
Last batch of fondant (cooked to hard shell level) went over quite well, only one hive had much left and their numbers are low, started out that way, and they still have plenty of honey in the super. I did plan on making a pollen feeder tomorrow and putting it out with substitute. The other 4 hives had a boatload of bees so I'm thinking the queen is laying already in them.
BUT when I went out this evening, the bees were returning with groceries, crowding the entrances. Guessing my elm tree might be in bloom...
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
Feeding pollen (or pollen substitute) can be used for a few reasons. Around here, mostly to "kickstart" a colony in the late winter / early spring before there is a lot of (or any) pollen being produced naturally. In my opinion, starting a colony early on pollen of any kind is a committment to the bees that they'll continue to get it so long as they need it to feed the brood. It's not right to give them reason to think that nature is bountiful...but only to the extent of the patty that you've tossed on the top bars. If you start letting them raise brood early, you need to follow through. The other reason is when you have an early but truncated spring season. In that case, the bees begin the natural process of foraging and raising brood and then weather interrupts everything for a while. Here, feeding pollen can help sustain the brood buildup, albeit nothing seems to beat the natural stuff. I'm not a fan of pollen feeding to get a colony going quicker. It's great that suppliers can sell it and show awesome pictures of colonies on what I believe to be "pollen steroids" but the committment is fragile for me with my time constraints and it's expensive. I do offer pollen in those situations when I feel a brood cycle is in danger due to weather and colony conditions. I have to KNOW that each is suspect. That means inclement weather over a longish period of time and an early, booming colony that I might already be feeding nectar to which also shows a scarcity of pollen. Finally, pollen patties can be used to introduce various other substances to treat a colony. The last time I fed pollen, I fed it from an overturned pail across the yard and let the bees find it "naturally". Of course, this won't work if you're dealing with weather but to me, it's more natural, requires less work and is less intrusive to the hive itself.
I enjoyed this article by Kim Flottum and I hope you do as well:
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
My bees consume them best in January when there is no pollen coming in. There is also no risk of hive beetle infestation this time of year. If I wait closer to Spring, they don't eat them as readily and I end up pitching the remains of some into the field. The patties are much lower in nutritional value than real pollen. I'm hesitant to use them in warm weather, as they normally don't need/utilize them, along with giving pesky hive beetles a place to hide, and nutrition.
Upon checking local pollen count, they were bringing in sawdust. Reckon pollen substitute is better than sawdust. Putting some out tomorrow, either hung from my front porch, or in the garden, a bit away from the apiary.
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
you're bees will have fun with that. i plan on putting a day's worth at a time out on the good flying days between now and the red maple blooms.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
John, I wonder if a little distilled water to form paste with your pollen might be gobbled up off the top of a frame with enthusiasm ? or buttered on comb ? perhaps a dab of yours on one side and something else on other see what gos first
don't know. they eat it well when mixed in a sugar patty, but might not take just pollen paste.
if it's warm enough to fly, they go crazy over it in the dry powder form. they not only load up their pollen baskets, but get it all over their bodies. pollen 'frenzy' is how i would describe it.
(not necessary or desired once natural forage becomes available)

I tend to avoid using pollen when feeding supplements . Im afraid of spreading disease, viral infection to be specific

can you be more specific ian? natural pollen or pollen substitues, and are you aware of specific cases where this has happened?

Andrew Garfield reprises his role as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Rated PG-13), which hits theaters on May 2. What should viewers expect when the British actor slips into the iconic blue-and-red suit this time? In addition to a new costume, Garfield says there are fun action-packed scenes, a sweet love story, and interesting themes about bullying and being a hero. "Spider-Man is really coming into his own as a hero and as a person," Garfield told TFK. "He is really allowing himself to grow into the symbol and fill the duties of what it takes to be a hero."
This time, Spidey will use his wits and his "spider-sense" to fight ominous and powerful villains such as Rhino (played by Paul Giamatti) and Electro (played by Jamie Foxx). Garfield gave TFK Kid Reporter Grace Clark more scoop on the film during a phone interview recently.
Were you a Spider-Man fan as a kid?
It was my first Halloween costume when I was 3 years old, in England! He was so important to me because he always stood up to the bullies. A bully was very mean to me in school, and I turned to Spider-Man in my imagination. He's always been my hero, so obviously being able to play him is a huge honor for me. I revere him as much as anyone.
If not Spider-Man, what other superhero would you like to play?
I love to fly, so maybe Superman. I would like to play a super villain. I've never done that before, so that could be fun, [playing someone like] the Joker.
How did you prepare for this role?
I had to really work hard and make sure my body was in good shape, because Spider-Man has to be really strong and lean and flexible, like a gymnast. And then preparing for [his alter-ego] Peter Parker, I had to do a lot of emotional training because Peter really goes on a journey of self-discovery. He's a young man trying to navigate all these different aspects of life, so that was a lot of emotional preparation. Both of those things were really enjoyable.
How do the villains in the new movie challenge Spider-Man?
He has to figure out a way to outwit Rhino, who is strong and full of brute force. Then he goes up against Electro, who has the power to fry his web-shooters. Peter has to use his intelligence to get around these really tough villains.
Spider-Man has both brains and brawn. Which do you feel is more important?
That's a really good question. I'd like to think that having brains is more useful. I'm not a very good fighter, but I'm smart enough to get out of fights.
One of Spider-Man's famous quotes is, "With great power comes great responsibility." What special power would you like to possess, and how would you use the power to better our society?
Wow, what a great question. Well, I think Spider-Man is such a good example of how to use your power for good. He's a protector, and I think people in our world need protection from evil forces and bad guys. He's also smart enough to try to cut off things at the source. So if he can feel a regular person becoming a villain, he's going to try to stop them by giving them love and compassion and understanding and encouraging them to make a different choice. That just comes from his humanity.
How much stunt work do you do?
I like doing most of the stunts myself. I used to be a gymnast as a young boy. I loved doing backflips and tumbles.
What superhero should Spider-Man team up with to fight crime?
I would love help as Spider-Man. It would be especially cool to have the Hulk, because if I've got the brains, then he's got the brawn.
Is there an Amazing Spider-Man 3 in the works?
Yes! I'm excited to see where it goes.
Thank you so much for your time!
It was really fun talking to you. Good luck with school and with journalism!


text: While inspecting my hive today I found a number of queen cells on the bottom of several frames in the upper hive body. Last fall I found the same thing and destroyed all the cells only to find out a couple of weeks later that my queen was already dead, and the bees were replacing her. I was forced to buy another queen. Today I reversed the hive bodies for the second time this year, because the top was very congested and the bottom was very empty, no brood. Will this have an effect on the queen cells that were built by placing them in the bottom. Also, will the reversing help to convince the bees not to swarm now or is it too late once the cells are made. This is my second year with this hive and I badly want to harvest a honey crop this year, which would be my first crop. What advice would someone have for me?

For years the Giants defense has been built around its front four applying pressure. The Giants Defensive line failed miserably to get to the QB. When you draft pass rushers over and over again and do not finish top ten in sacks let alone top 5. You have a MAJOR issue.
The Giants LB core may be the worst in the NFL and has been very weak for far far too long. Look how many players have been shuffled in and out over last 5 years.
Lets also get something straight. The most important defensive stat is points allowed. They where ranked 12th in that department. That's not that bad. Of all the points the offense scored how many came off of all the turnovers the defense created? How many offensive turnovers by the Giants placed the opposing team in scoring position?

I am in no way supporting this years defense, they played like garbage.
But, your statement that this is the worst NYG defense ever is debatable. The 2009 team gave up WAY more points than this 1, almost 5 more points per game.
Its not worth arguing really, as it is like deciding which pile of dung smells the best when smell is completely subjective. But, the 2009 defense is still the worst I have seen, in my opinion.
We duck taped the defense, hoping Eli and the offense could carry the team. But when Nicks got injured and the running game couldn't get going we became very one dimensional and that dimension wasn't as dynamic without the #1 receiver. And the D came apart late last season.
Anyone who thinks this was even a mediocre defense is touched in the head. They ranked right up there with Lewis's patented "Cover Nada" and Sheridians "Fire Me" defense. Being 12th in points allowed and 31st in yards allowed means something is very wrong with your defense. There isn't one good defense in history with that large of a spread. Any system that allows you defense to be pushed up and down the field sends the wrong message to those guys philosophically. Physically it just means you can't get a stop when you need one and you are banking on turnovers to even be somewhat respectable.

Bills' message to Belichick: You blew it [5:32 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '� Having my name called out and getting the fans going with my hand thrusts, it felt like I had always been here, my whole career,� Milloy said. � At that point, I knew that I was going to be OK. I was playing football for fans that really appreciate it. I was in an atmosphere where they make the player feel like he is needed and not the other way around.�'
If the Bills keep winning, MNF will be a big loser [5:31 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Week 1 couldn�t have been better for the Bills. Not only did they crush New England 31-0, but Miami, New England and the New York Jets all lost and looked lousy in the process.'
Buffalo Bills report card [5:30 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'With the 500-pound Belichick gorilla off his back, Gregg Williams had a bounce in his step. Smart game plans by Kevin Gilbride, Jerry Gray and Dick LeBeau helped Bills turned tide on Patriots, who dominated both meetings a year ago.'
Bills get plenty of ink from prognosticators [5:29 AM]
Business First of Buffalo reports: 'Yes, the forecast is for 10 victories and a playoff spot for the Bills and, though I do so with some hesitation, I admit to joining the believers who see a return to the playoffs and a contract extension for Williams.'
Bills make Pats pay [5:28 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"What we said from Day 1 is that our team has to get better around (Bledsoe)," said Bills coach Gregg Williams. "Drew just has to play quarterback. As a team, last year we weren't good enough."'
Revenge is sweet [5:27 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: 'In the team's walk-through on Saturday, Bills coach Gregg Williams asked Milloy how many downs he could play. "He looked me in the eye and said, 'I want to play in every one of them,' " Williams said. "That's all I needed to know."'
Buffalo defence spikes Patriots [5:26 AM]
Toronto Star reports: 'A win in the first game of a treacherous 16-game NFL season isn't any reason to get overly enthused. But give this bunch some leeway � and some credit.'
Sunday Stroll [5:25 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'The Bills opened their season with a 31-0 shutout of the New England Patriots on a day when floating beach balls and shirtless patrons seemed appropriate for the balmy weather. It started with a star-spangled display that included a giant American flag, chants of "U-S-A, U-S-A" from the 73,262 in attendance and a military fly-over that nearly skimmed the light stanchions.'
Sunday worst [5:24 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'If there was one other undeniable fact about the Bills, it was that their revamped defense seems like it may be special.'
Milloy looks good in new outfit [5:23 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'This was a day when Sam Adams had Patriots fans reaching for Jack Daniels.'
A pick-and-rumble play [5:22 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'Huffin' and puffin', his legs the size of pistons on an oceanliner, Sam Adams cruised -- literary license employed liberally -- 37 yards with an interception yesterday and provided the backbreaking score in Buffalo's 31-0 thumping of the Patriots at Ralph Wilson Stadium.'
An unheeded safety alert [5:21 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'To have so miscalculated not only Milloy's market value but also his value to the team both on and off the field is bad enough. To continue to profess no understanding of what he had done, even after Milloy played such a central role in stuffing his offense, gives one cause to wonder if this man has the slightest clue how human beings operate.'
Secondary's first outing third-rate [5:20 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'Once again, we were reminded that there simply is no substitute for experience. Ty Law (No. 24) and Antwan Harris (No. 23) may be locker room neighbors, but the veteran corner and new (five days, and counting) starting safety seemed worlds apart yesterday on the field. And there were times that youngsters Asante Samuel and Eugene Wilson looked a little lost.'
Were Redskins offside in episode? [5:19 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'An NFL spokesman said the league was "looking into" the matter, but it didn't appear there was an all-out investigation. Milloy told the Globe and SI.com last week that Poston had sought deals for him even before the Patriots released him. After yesterday's game, Milloy told reporters there was no contact with other teams prior to his release by New England.'
Key play of the game [5:18 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'The Bills' other defensive tackle, Sam Adams (95), didn't pass rush but shuffled to his right down the line of scrimmage. That put him in the direct line of Brady's pass, which Adams intercepted and, amazingly, returned down the right sideline 37 yards for a touchdown.'
All the wrong moves [5:17 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'Second-guessers unite. Bill Belichick bashers, today is your day. Prepare to feast.'
Bledsoe exacts revenge [5:16 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '``It was important for us to come out and start fast,'' Bledsoe said. ``We didn't last year. Last year we came out, moved the ball, and then kind of bogged down on third-and-1 in the first drive of both games and the next thing you knew, we were down. ``It was important for us to come out and have a good first drive, convert two big third downs, and take it down there and put points on the board. That was definitely important for us - to just kind of set the tone offensively. And then for our defense to come out and play like they did was tremendous.'''
No breaking the Law [5:15 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'Law can certainly do more than he did yesterday. So can every other Pat. They hope.'
A trying time for Harris [5:14 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'As for Law, his blood was still boiling in the locker room when he berated a reporter for trying to read something into his actions. ``Look, you just assumed what I said,'' Law told the reporter. ``I was yelling, but this is not about attacking (Harris). We play together. Antwan is part of the team. What difference does it make if I'm talking to Lawyer or Antwan after a play?'''
Faulk's spotlight dimmed [5:13 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'To be sure, Faulk was not spectacular, but with the Bills rolling up 35 offensive plays to the Pats' measly eight (two four-and-out series) as the gap reached 21-0 some 4:46 into the second quarter, concentration was hardly on him.'
Belichick to blame for loss [5:12 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'But the problem began with Belichick. It's a coach's responsibility to put his players in a position to win games. His decision to waive Lawyer Milloy five days earlier deprived the team of its defensive captain and quarterback at the worst possible time and created an all too predictable predicament.'
Milloy move was a boon for Bills [5:11 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '``He gave us the reasons `why' behind some of the things they do to us. We didn't change our game plan or anything, but he definitely gave us some insight.'''
Bills kill Pats in a quirky first game [5:10 AM]
Metro West Daily News reports: 'How bad was it? At one point, a defensive tackle named Sam Adams returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown. That a man who bears the name of a Boston patriot helped bring down the Patriots is bad enough; that he's 6-foot-4 and 335 pounds, and plays defense, simply epitomized what type of day it was for New England. The result marked the first time the Patriots were shut out since 1993 and is the worst season-opening loss in franchise history, dating back to 1960.'
Belichick must work to regain players' faith [5:09 AM]
Metro West Daily News reports: 'If that can happen to Milloy, what does that mean for me? That thought might start to explain why the Patriots didn't show up for their head coach yesterday, why they committed an uncharacteristic 12 penalties, why they often looked confused, why they seemed to lose their composure at times.'
Bills have their every which way with Patriots [5:08 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'The 31-0 loss featured defensive disarray, offensive predictability, bad quarterbacking, zero pass rush, an inability to stop the run or run themselves, not to mention stupid penalties.'
Milloy has good reason to gloat, and he does [5:07 AM]
Providence Journal reports: '"It felt good," Milloy said when asked how it felt when he came out of the Bills' tunnel, the last player introduced. "I was in an atmosphere where they make the player feel like he is needed, and not the other way around. That was what I left behind."'
Bills' free agents money well spent [5:06 AM]
Providence Journal reports: '"Don't think that just because I ran a good ways [on the touchdown] that I had to come out," Adams said. "I didn't take any oxygen, either."'
Bledsoe engineers fast start [5:05 AM]
Providence Journal reports: '"It was important for us to come out, have a good first drive, convert the two big third downs and put points on the board. It was very important for us to set the tone offensively. Then, for our defense to come out and play like they did was tremendous."'
Bledsoe and Milloy have ample reason to be happy [5:04 AM]
Providence Journal reports: '"I told him when he got here," Bledsoe said, "that, if I could have picked any player around the league to put on our defense, there wouldn't have been many guys ahead of him."'
What were they thinking? They weren't [5:03 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'The people who think Milloy made the difference yesterday are the same people who think Belichick gets into Bledsoe's head. They should think again.'

Hi Hossein,
Have you examined the distribution of your dummy variables and reference group? If you have educ_1, educ_2, and educ_3, have you attempted to fit the model excluding one of those dummy variables? One of the author's advisors (J. Wooldridge) occassionally chimes in on the Statalist. If you believe that your model should fit the data without problems then it would be a good idea to contact the author of the program directly.

In an era of earned media, consumer ratings, and seemingly unlimited forums for consumers to hold brands accountable, why is it that we find ourselves having to argue that being transparent about data use builds trust, and that trust is a valuable commodity?
Against the backdrop of the recently implemented ePrivacy Directive and increased consumer awareness of tracking, Evidon commissioned a study with global research agency Toluna to better understand where consumers in the UK stand on these issues.
While the results of the survey of 1,000 nationally representative UK and US respondents should not surprise the savvy brand marketer, they provide a new set of data to support the business case for doing the right thing.
Prior to the internet, it was easier to argue that data practices were out of sight and mind for the consumer. But the press has been writing about privacy issues online for more than a decade, and Google and Facebook keep finding new ways to keep it topical.
The trend line on consumer concern - and therefore the need for marketer sensitivity - is going in the wrong direction, and the Toluna data makes this clear.
When asked if they were less concerned about online privacy than they used to be, 22% of UK consumers surveyed strongly disagreed, compared to just 5% taking the reverse position.
That's nearly a quarter of consumers with a significant and growing concern that can impact the metrics that marketers care about.
More recently, the Information Commissioner has been beating a steady ePrivacy drum, and this has led to two enormous shifts in awareness in the UK.
Businesses have been ordering in-depth audits to uncover tracking activity on their sites, initially in response to regulatory pressure. The audits have produced huge revelations about the level of tracking taking place, both authorised and otherwise.
The largest online companies in the UK, including the BBC, BT, Reuters, and Nectar, have produced new privacy dialogues in the most highly trafficked areas of their sites.
In 2012, the most trusted brands in the UK have introduced the notion that consumers will be fully informed of data practices in plain English, as soon as they enter a site, with full choice and ability to customise. If this trend continues, consumer expectations will never be the same.
So what's the upside?
According to the Toluna study, three in every five UK respondents (61%) agree that it is important to them that companies they deal with online disclose how they are collecting and/or using information about them.
And more than half (54%) of UK consumers feel more positively towards a brand or company if they believe that their personal data is being treated in the right way.
The data supports the notion that most people now have high expectations for transparency. The majority also stands by, ready to reward transparent brands with greater trust.
Further, almost half (48%) feel that if companies are honest about how they collect and use personal information online, then they would be more likely to purchase goods or services from that brand.
For some, the storyline that appears clearly in the data may seem to overstate consumer sensitivities to tracking online. But this interest in detailed information about tracking activity has been clear from Ghostery data for some time.
Ghostery gives more than 16 million users worldwide highly specific information about who is tracking them on each web page, and use has been higher in Europe than in the US, despite the language barrier that non-English speaking consumers have with an English language browser extension. The UK is the 3rd largest audience for Ghostery in the world.
As for the enhanced privacy notices that we have been managing in Europe, the data once again demonstrates that consumers reward companies brave enough to be transparent.
People who click on privacy notices on websites to request more information find a single page summary of all tracking activities, with an integrated opt-out button.
The vast majority of these motivated consumers decline the opportunity to opt-out. In Germany and the Netherlands, 85% and 87% respectively of consumers review the information and decline to opt-out.
In Ireland and the UK, more than 91% of consumers decline to opt-out. When you are upfront with consumers about your data practices, consumers understand that you have nothing to hide, and the majority are happy to proceed under those terms.
It is time to accept the reality that consumers now expect brands to be transparent with their data practices. Fortunately, the data suggests consumers are also holding out trust and purchase activity as twin carrots for marketers willing to take the plunge.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Olivia discusses a new cancer treatment with her niece Lily. Olivia is wearing a wrap dress and looks very stylish. She is wearing the Diane von Furstenberg Evrin Blurred Floral-Print Jersey Wrap Dress.
*Update 6/23/11: Olivia rewears the dress on the June 22, 2011 episode when she talks to Sofia about her baby's paternity. Who is the baby's father? Let's just say it is no coincidence that Olivia dons this blurry printed dress in this particular scene. The dress retails for $465.00 but it is no longer available online. It is pictured below.

Bed linen and towels are present (15 euros to be paid cash to the lady who gives the keys and who washes the bed linen and the towels ).
Parking your car.
Parking in The Hague is paid almost everywhere. In the street, in front of the house, parking is free from 00.00h until 18.00h. Between 18.00 and 24.00 you have to pay (some 10 euros). For short stays (a few days), the parking meter in front of the house must be used.
For long stays (a month or more) the best thing is to buy a parking permit for one month at Parkeerbeheer Den Haag. This reduces parking costs a lot.
About The Hague: The Hague is a very interesting destination to spend a short stay, or even a holiday, in the Netherlands. In fact it is the second destination after Amsterdam. It's one of the greenest cities in Holland, with many big and interesting parks, musea, lots of places where old and modern architecture meet (looking from the "Plaats" you have an amazing view of the old Parliament Buildings and the spectacular towering new architecture rising behind it), and it is located just on the Dutch seaside with an amazing natural landscape of beaches and dunes.
About the weather. The Hague is a place to be enjoyed with any kind of weather, when the sun shines, its beautiful beaches invite to lay down in its fine sand and to jump in the waves, when it's cloudy or even when it rains, you just prepare your rain suit, take your bike and go for a walk through the dunes and along the beach, to enjoy the spectacular view of the towering skies, chasing clouds, whipping rain, floating seagulls above the North Sea and the dunes, and you will experiment yourself the very landscapes painted by the painters of the The Hague School and that can be admired in the Mesdag Museum in The Hague.
About Public Transport. The Hague has excellent public transport, which brings you in almost no time to Vermeer's Delft, Rembrandt's Leiden, and of course to Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Being the seat of the Dutch Government and the residence of the Queen of the Netherlands, The Hague boasts one of Europe's oldest and finest governmental building complexes (The Ridderzaal with the Houses of Parliament around it) and the Royal Palaces Noordeinde and Huis ten Bosch.
Just cross the street and take tram line 2 which will bring you in 6 minutes to Grote Markt, which is the very city center.
However, the best way to go around The Hague is by bike. In the apartment there are 3 bikes (2 ladies bikes and 1 man´s bike). More bikes can be rented at The Hague "Hollands Spoor" Station, where for only 7,50 per day you can rent extra bikes.

Nice apartment in a good location.straightforward key collection from neighbour even though he wasn't expecting us. Communication doesn't seem to be a strong point as the cleaner turned up with clean bedding at 2200hrs the day after we arrived.
The best place to feel like you're living in your friend's apartment.
Nice district, good neighbours, private garden and bikes to go to the seaside, shopping, and discover the beautiful city - are included.
Thanks to have a really good time, wish to come here the next time!
Everything was fine, the appartment offers everything you need and Felix helped with "remote-support" whenever needed. For everything else the neighbour was a great help.
Felix has a nice and cosy apartment with a charming atmosphere. It is well located so you can easily reach the sea or the city centre.
We really enjoyed our stay and it was a pleasure to be his guest.
big and nice flat. Old but clean and tidy. Bath and toilet refurbished.
I enjoyed the stay, organisation was easy even Felix was absent.
We had a very nice stay in Den Haag. The apartment is good for 3 persons. The supplementary bed in the living room allows to put up two more guests, but they need earplugs because the street in front is quite noisy. On the whole: highly recommendable
Very authentic and central apartment, we enjoyed the stay. Contact was very nice and friendly. I'll come again, if it happens to be.
I had a great stay at this apartment – everything was in place and as described. Public transport at your door step, making it extremely easy to get around! Private and cosy, I would stay here again for sure!
Many thanks for the being relaxing stay in the nicely renovated and clean flat. We found there everything what we needed and particularly the bicycles were a great thing.
Many greetings from Munich, Tamara

Ocala, FL- The NeSmith Weekly Late Models headlined the 5th night of racing at Bubba Raceway Park while the Hobby Stocks, E-Mods, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators joined them in a fantastic night of racing.
The E-Mods kicked the night off with Shane Nichols jumping to the top from outside pole. Nichols, along with Mike Stalnaker, won their heats but had opposite nights after that. Stalnaker fell off with mechanical issues while Nichols went flag-to-flag to win his 3rd consecutive feature, this 1 caution-free. Shane Taylor, again, found himself the bridesmaid with Shawn Taylor in pursuit. Swede Melgaard finished in a strong 4th and Charlie Howard, Jr. rounded out the top 5.
Jeff Mathews took advantage of the tussle between Bryan Bernhardt and Josh Peacock and the 4-wide racing of others to jump to the lead from 4th starting spot. Austin Kirkpatrick slotted into 2nd and Dalton Meyers, a heat winner, had to battle with "Showtime" Shan Smith for 3rd. By the NeSmith Late Models running 15 caution-free laps it started the night with 35 laps of green! Kenny Monohan brought the 1st yellow out when he spun off of turn 4. Meyers spun on lap 20 and he made contact with Tyler Clem on the next lap. Mathews had to hold Kirkpatrick and Smith at bay, even through a 1-lap dash after Carter Stokes stopped with a shredded left rear. Mathews completed the task and returned to Coors Light Winner's Circle while Kirkpatrick went back to the board. Bryan Bernhardt, the other heat winner, finished 3rd with "Showtime" and Tyler Clem rounding out the top 5.
The 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks had a rough night as Joey Durbin and heat race winner William Gillam both jump-started when given the chance to start from pole. Bubba Durbin, who had inherited the 4th starting spot, jumped up front and held on through the cluster of restarts. In just 2 laps there were 3 cautions- a spin by Jeff Stalnaker, Jr., Taylor Gant's misfortune, and Melvin Fockler's ride in turn 4 that ended with some Christmas card info being exchanged with Chuck Cessna. On lap 7 it was inherited pole-sitter Brandon Tillander going for the spin after having a career-night until that point. Bubba Durbin had opened up a lead on James Sullivan, III and Tillander but it all went away and Jeff Stalnaker, Jr. inherited 3rd. The timer had run out under caution meaning the next flag would end the race. That flag was the yellow after Stalnaker and Joey Durbin got together in turn 4. Bubba Durbin was able to take win #2 of 2013 over Sullivan and James Erickson. Tony Campbell had a career-night with a heat win and a 4th place finish and Jonathan Layerd finished 5th in the Tom Sheehan-owned #7.
The Hobby Stocks put on a clinic and went caution-free. Hunter Gustafson stole the lead from 3rd place starting spot and never looked back as he swept the night. The heat race winner survived, unlike Matt Kramer who is chasing him in the standings now, and took victory home over William Edwards. Gustafson and Edwards have split the last 3 features while Marty Smith awaits a trip to Coors Light Winner's Circle. Brian Shea finished a solid 4th and Jonathan Appleby finished 5th as he pulled double-duty.
Finally, it was a double anthem in the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators as Josh Fincher, Bill Southard, Tom Sheehan, and Kyle Moore were given the task of stopping heat race winner "The British Bulldog" Stephen Frankland from making it to Coors Light Winner's Circle. Frankland woudn't be stopped and had a 1/3 lap lead before Kyle Moore spun into the wall on lap 8. Moore refired and finished 3rd. Frankland had Fincher all over him for the last 7 laps but swatted him away for his 1st win at the 3/8 mile track. Fincher finished 2nd with team-mate Kyle Moore in 3rd. Bill Southard finished 4th and Tom Sheehan rounded out the top 5.
Next week has been revised. It is no longer the Mike Peters Open but rather the Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, Rent-N-Roll Gladiators, and the Florida Mini Sprints.

text: While lubing my ol '98 Silverado I noticed (with wheel turned) one of the front axles boots has a crack. I know this will have to be fixed. I don't think I have the tools (or knowledge) to replace it. I also fear it's going to cost me mucho $$$$. Question(s) are, is there anything I can do to patch it to make it last a little longer? The axle actually looked pretty clean. On other vehicles (fwd) I have owned the boot cracks, dirt gets in and ruins bearing. Then they replace the whole shebang. Realistically, how long do I have before it fails? How much money are we talking for a fix? How many parts will be replaced?


text: PORTSMOUTH — The list of Halloween events published on Page B1 of the Thursday, Oct. 24, edition of Foster's Daily Democrat contained an error regarding the Portsmouth Halloween Parade gathering point. Due to the recent events surrounding the island, the parade committee decided late last week to forge ahead with the event on Wednesday Oct. 31, but to shift the staging area off Peirce Island this year. The new rendezvous point is the large fountain at Prescott Park. An updated route map is located on the website: http://www.spookyportsmouth.com/routemap.cfm.


text: Just sayin'...I feel for them this year. I am in no way condoning any wrong doing they may have done, and I know they brought it on themselves, but still....I always try to put myself in the other guys shoes and....WOW....Drew and company must really feel like crap now. I'm kind of pulling for them, I mean if they can come through all the drama with a halfway decent year, good for them! I hope they keep their heads up high and fight though, cuz when they visit Metlife, NO EXCUSES! Payton or not, it will NOT be a repeat of last year! Bring it NO, that way when we win, we'll know it's cuz we're better!

Hi, sorry for vague title. I'm going by Catalin Zima's deferred renderer pretty heavily, so it's very similar. My problem is that my point light lighting doesn't fall off based on the attenuation like it should, it's a little hard to explain exactly what's wrong, so I frapsed it: http://youtu.be/1AY2xpmImgc
Upper left is color map, right of that is normal map and furthest to the right is depth map. The light map is the bottom left one, so look at that one.
Basically, they color things that are outside of the light radius. I strongly suspect there's something wrong about the projected texture coordinates. I've double checked so that all values that I send into the shaders actually get assigned, and I've looked through everything in pix and it seems to be fine. When I draw the sphere model that represents the point light, I scale the translation matrix with a (LightRadius, LightRadius, LightRadius) matrix.
I use additive blending mode for my lighting phase, and change rasterizer state depending on if I'm inside or not. I use a separate render target for my depth, I haven't bothered trying to use my depth stencil as a RT as I've seen some people do.
Here's how the shader looks:
Vertex shader:
cbuffer MatrixVertexBuffer { float4x4 World; float4x4 View; float4x4 Projection; } struct VertexShaderInput { float3 Position : POSITION0; }; struct VertexShaderOutput { float4 Position : SV_Position; float4 LightPosition : TEXCOORD0; }; VertexShaderOutput LightVertexShader(VertexShaderInput input) { VertexShaderOutput output; output.Position = mul(float4(input.Position, 1.0f), World); output.Position = mul(output.Position, View); output.Position = mul(output.Position, Projection); output.LightPosition = output.Position; return output; }
Pixel shader:
cbuffer LightBufferType { float3 LightColor; float3 LightPosition; float LightRadius; float LightPower; float4 CameraPosition; float4 Padding; } cbuffer PixelMatrixBufferType { float4x4 InvViewProjection; } //==Structs== struct VertexShaderOutput { float4 Position : SV_Position; float4 LightPosition : TEXCOORD0; }; //==Variables== Texture2D textures[3]; //Color, Normal, depth SamplerState pointSampler; //==Functions== float2 postProjToScreen(float4 position) { float2 screenPos = position.xy / position.w; return 0.5f * (float2(screenPos.x, -screenPos.y) + 1); } half4 LightPixelShader(VertexShaderOutput input) : SV_TARGET0 { float2 texCoord = postProjToScreen(input.LightPosition); float4 baseColor = textures[0].Sample(pointSampler, texCoord); if(baseColor.r + baseColor.g + baseColor.b < 0.0f) //I cull early if the pixel is completely black, meaning there really isn't anything to light here. { return half4(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); } //get normal data from the normalMap float4 normalData = textures[1].Sample(pointSampler, texCoord); //tranform normal back into [-1,1] range float3 normal = 2.0f * normalData.xyz - 1.0f; //read depth float depth = textures[2].Sample(pointSampler, texCoord); //compute screen-space position float4 position; position.x = texCoord.x; position.y = -(texCoord.x); position.z = depth; position.w = 1.0f; //transform to world space position = mul(position, InvViewProjection); position /= position.w; //surface-to-light vector float3 lightVector = position - input.LightPosition; //compute attenuation based on distance - linear attenuation float attenuation = saturate(1.0f - max(0.01f, lightVector)/(LightRadius/2)); //max(0.01f, lightVector) to avoid divide by zero! //normalize light vector lightVector = normalize(lightVector); //compute diffuse light float NdL = max(0, dot(normal, lightVector)); float3 diffuseLight = NdL * LightColor.rgb; //reflection vector float3 reflectionVector = normalize(reflect(-lightVector, normal)); //camera-to-surface vector float3 directionToCamera = normalize(CameraPosition - position); //compute specular light float specularLight = pow( saturate(dot(reflectionVector, directionToCamera)), 128.0f); //take into account attenuation and lightIntensity. return attenuation * half4(diffuseLight.rgb, specularLight); }
Sorry if it's messy, I'm pretty loose about standards and commenting while experimenting.
Thank you for your time, it's really appreciated.

HARRISBURG (AP) — Former Penn State president Graham Spanier is asking the judge in his criminal case to loosen bail rules that limit travel in the United States and prevent him from leaving the country.
His filing posted on the county court's website Monday argued there's no reason to think the travel restrictions are needed to ensure he will show up.
Spanier's lawyers say travel is a significant component of his profession and he's had to rule out international speaking opportunities.
Any U.S. travel requires prior court approval.
He faces charges for an alleged cover-up of complaints about former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky is serving a prison sentence after being convicted a year ago of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

Rumored to debut worldwide in the fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Powerplants for North America will be standard Audi fare with a 2.0-liter TFSI, a 3.2-liter V6 and the 4.2-liter FSI V8 in the S4 version. Audi is being very tight lipped about exact A4 variants beyond the standard sedan offering, but things will likely change with the introduction of the A5/S5.
Looks good. Now it Looks even moore like the A6 and A8. Can't wait to see what the RS4 is packing.
======================================================================================= I'm 102% black with a 2% margin of error!
Nice. I cannot say that I am totally in love with it, but looks very good. Is it just me or has the A4 grown to A6 proportions?

Yeah the rear seats gain an inch in legroom with the wheelbase extension. I'm not sure of exact numbers though???
The first picture looks like two parts A8 one part A3.

CHICAGO — KitchenAid has announced plans to introduce the first line of non-licensed cookware, bakeware and kettles in its nearly 100-year history. KitchenAid had previously offered these products through a licensing arrangement.
"These newest KitchenAid products look, feel and perform like those that built our reputation as a brand," said Michael Huie, global business unit director for KitchenAid.
The cookware collection, available beginning in July, encompasses nine distinct lines, all of which are induction capable, each crafted with different combinations of materials and finishes, and each designed to not only accommodate, but optimize, different cooking styles and technologies.
They include induction-capable aluminum with a high temperature polyester silicone coating; forged hard anodized aluminum; stainless steel, stainless steel clad; induction-capable copper clad; color-accented stainless steel; 5 ply copper core and 7-ply stainless steel cookware. Suggested retail prices will range from $179 for a 10-piece set in aluminum to $1,599 for a 7-ply stainless steel clad. The cookware features patented materials that heat 30% faster on induction cooktops, and even faster on new KitchenAid induction models. A patented stainless steel finish helps the cookware retain a new appearance for years.
KitchenAid is also introducing a durable Cast Iron cookware collection, available in Streamline, Traditional and Professional designs. Streamline cookware designs are simple and sleek with rounded edges, and available in 3-qt., 4-qt. and 6-qt. sizes. Offered in Autumn Glimmer, Curacao Blue, Empire Red, Green Apple, Onyx Black, Plum Zen and Spring Blue colors, suggested prices range from $59 - $129.
Traditional cookware designs offer a timeless look, with accented handles and ridging along the base. Available in Almond Cream, Botanical Green, Empire Red, Espresso, Glacier Blue, Majestic Yellow, and Persian Grape color options, the cookware comes in 3-qt., 4-qt. and 6-qt. sizes, with suggested prices ranging from $69 - $149. Professional cookware offers a premium grade of durability in design. Distinct in both form and function, the Professional designs are available in 4-qt. and 6-qt. sizes, with Cobalt Blue, Ivy Green and Royal Red color options. Suggested prices range from $79 - $169.
Developed after extensive consumer research, the new cookware collection was designed to address key concerns widely held among cookware users, including the validity of "dishwasher safe" claims, overall quality of construction, and suitability for use on electric, gas and induction cooktops.
Initially, the new cookware collection will be available through a number of top retailers in the United States and in some of the more than 100 countries where KitchenAid products are sold.
In addition to cookware, the brand will introduce durable, high performance, commercial grade bakeware collections in both a sheet metal and ceramic collection. Sheet metal bakeware is made with a thick base metal coated with aluminum for superior durability and will be available in 25 traditional shapes and designs in both nonstick aluminized and aluminized bakeware lines, with suggested retail prices ranging from $12.99 to $34.99.
The ceramic bakeware collection consists of a Streamline and Traditional Line. Designed using advanced manufacturing processes that ensure high-quality ceramics, both lines will offer a five-year no chip warranty. Streamline bakeware designs will be available in a White Chocolate base color matched with an Azure, Buttercup, Green Apple or Persimmon top color, or with a Matte Black base color matched with a Boysenberry, Empire Red, Onyx Black or Persimmon top color. Traditional Line bakeware will be offered in one-color options including Almond Cream, Botanical Green, Empire Red, Espresso, Glacier Blue, Majestic Yellow, Nectarine and Regal Purple. Available 1.5-qt., 2.5-qt. and 4-qt. sizes, suggested retail prices range from $39 to $79.
KitchenAid also plans to release five new tea kettles in a variety of colors including Cameo Blue, Doulton Blue, Empire Red, Green Apple, Onyx Black, Pyrite, Tangerine, Yellow Citrus and White. Available in 1.5-qt. and 2-qt. sizes, suggested retail prices for the kettles will range from $29.99 to $69.99.

With all due respect too this thread.. I like it..
Again, we can not change the horrible incident. But.. We can discuss as normal human beings, our feelings on weapons..

Video: Was Gosnell an aberration in late-term abortions?
posted at 11:01 am on April 28, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
The trial of Kermit Gosnell — and the media silence on it for much of the proceedings — have shone a light on lat-term abortions that abortion advocates have hardly welcomed. In response, the abortion industry has argued that Gosnell was an aberration, a rare instance of inhumanity for a service that is critical to the health of women. How true is that? Live Action conducted an undercover operation to allow people a look into the late-term abortion business, and we discover that the lawless approach we saw in Gosnell's clinic was at the very least not unique.
Live Action's undercover journalist went to a Bronx abortion clinic to discuss the potential outcomes of a 23-week abortion — that's nearly 6 months along — and got the kind of advice that one would expect from Kermit Gosnell himself:
What happens, the young woman asks, if the baby is moving and breathing when it comes out? No worries, says the abortion-clinic saleswoman — the toxic solution will make it "automatically stop." If the baby spontaneously delivers, she advises the mother to "Flush it!" Or, failing that, stick the baby in a plastic bag and bring him or her to the clinic for the toxic solution. Don't go to the hospital, she warns, because the hospital might actually try to save the baby.
Kyle Smite writes in today's New York Post that this and the Gosnell trial tell the real truth about late-term abortions:
The employee assigned to take note of medical history reassured the woman, "We never had that for ages" (a seeming admission that a baby did survive abortion at the clinic at least once) but that should "it" "survive this," "They would still have to put it in like a jar, a container, with solution, and send it to the lab. . . . We don't just throw it out in the garbage."
Oh, and this innocuous-sounding "solution" was, of course, a toxic substance suitable for killing an infant.
"Like, what if it was twitching?" asked the pregnant woman.
"The solution will make it stop," said the clinic employee. "That's the whole purpose of the solution . . . It will automatically stop. It won't be able to breathe anymore."
As for any qualms a woman might have about seeing her newborn child being poisoned and drowned in a jar, the employee advised her "patient" not to worry: She'd be under sedation, and the murder would take place in another room anyway.
The employee said, humorously, that "the doctor" is "not gonna wake you up and be like, 'Hey, excuse me, you have—' "
The sentence was left unfinished, too unthinkable even for a euphemism. There's no polite way to say, "You have just given birth, but we will murder the child."
Smith also notes that the 24-week limit in New York will be under no threat as long as the media keeps silent about these operations:
Gosnell "is not an aberration. He is not alone. There are abortionists all across the country who are performing [illegal] late-term abortions and killing babies," Rose says. "The inhumanity is business as usual."
But a primary reason the Gosnell case has received amazingly scant and grudging attention from most of the major media outlets is that it's impossible to discuss illegal abortions without thinking more about legal ones.
It's necessary (unless you think abortion should generally be illegal) to declare an arbitrary cutoff point. But is 24 weeks the right one? Fetuses that old have an excellent chance of surviving once born. By contrast, at 21 weeks or less, viability outside the womb is virtually nil.
You can bet that Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice groups that enjoy strong support from the media would raise an unholy ruckus at any suggestion that the 24-week limit is not strict enough.
Yet when the 23-weeks-pregnant woman told the Bronx clinic, "It actually looks like a baby," she was told by a different counselor, "It is at this point."
Not to worry, though: all that would be left after the abortion, she was told, would be (those disturbing euphemisms again) "pregnancy parts" and "tissue."
The New York Times, in the sole article it published on the Gosnell trial before it grudgingly admitted the story was an important one and reversed course, incorrectly and revealingly referred to the murdered babies who had survived abortion as "fetuses," The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto pointed out.
Fetus? No. That's misinformation meant to downplay what happened. Once born, you're no longer a fetus. And ending your life is infanticide, not abortion.
Be sure to read it all.

Got this for my Dopp kit in order to try the products. I had been using American Crew daily shampoo and conditioner, but this gives all the benefits of both products in one bottle. The texture paste is also a great styling product for longer thick hair. I'm impressed and am considering switching my shampoo to Towel Dry.5

I was not expecting to harvest any honey this year, as it's the first year for both colonies, so I don't have an extractor on hand, and don't want to purchase one at this point. So, any ideas for separating honey from comb, sans extractor?

UTSA Energy Conservation Committee seeks more members
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(May 30, 2007)--UTSA's Energy Conservation Committee has put out a call for additional members from the university community.
In an environment of increasing utility costs, and recognizing UTSA's position as a leader in education and as a major energy consumer, President Ricardo Romo established the UTSA Energy Conservation Committee in 2006 to advise the university on energy conservation initiatives and to promote energy conservation awareness throughout the Tri-Campuses.
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 committee meets quarterly to discuss costs, consumption reduction and awareness initiatives. To volunteer for this important committee, e-mail Bonnie Marks by June 15 your name, department or organization, and a brief explanation of what you would like to accomplish as a member of the Energy Conservation Committee.
For more information, contact Bonnie Marks at (210) 458-6143.
Energy conservation tips
- For every degree below 78 you set your thermostat during the summer, cooling costs increase by 9 percent.
- Close window coverings (blinds and drapes) during the day, especially on the east and west sides of a building. Blocking sunlight reduces heat gain. Sunlight can increase demand on an air conditioning system by as much as 30 percent. Turn blinds up instead of down. White blinds reduce solar heat gain through windows up to 50 percent.
- To make it easier to shut down your computer equipment each day, plug the computer, printer or scanner into a surge protector power strip. Then at the end of the day, simply turn off the power strip.
- If computers and monitors are always left turned on, it can cost more than $150,000 per month for electricity. If they are shut down daily, the cost drops to less than $50,000 with savings of at least $100,000 per month.
- If half of the teachers in Texas turned out the lights everyday on their way to lunch, it would save $3.4 million each year.
Computer energy conservation
One of the best conservations tips for computer use is to turn it off if you're not using it. Even if the equipment is off for brief periods, such as during lunches, meetings or breaks, you'll see a reduction in energy costs.
Alternatively, the next best solution is to enable the power-saving features of your computer, so it goes into sleep mode when it's not being used. According to the EPA, nearly 44 percent of computer users do not use the power-saving features of their computers.
Newer computers that have this feature will power down to as little as 15 watts or less while remaining connected to the network. Using this feature alone can reduce overall electrical consumption of a computer by up to 50 percent. If you're using a screensaver, be aware that they don't save power.
To enable the power-down feature on a PC:
- Right-click at the desktop.
- Go to "properties."
- Click on screensaver.
- Select energy management settings.
- Choose the time to shut off the monitor.
- Click "OK."
To set energy-saver features on a Macintosh computer:
- Go to the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
- Under "Hardware," choose "Energy Saver" and select sleep options.
For older computers that do not have a power-down feature, turn off the monitor when not in use.

Nam June Paik's first use of television as an artistic material, in 1963, is a benchmark moment in the history of art. Since then, he has explored every corner of the vast aesthetic potential of television and video technology, an odyssey that has earned him the nickname "the Father of Video Art." But his first love—and the subject of his academic training during the 1950s—was musical composition. Paik wrote a thesis on Arnold Schoenberg and later studied with Karlheinz Stockhausen, who was experimenting with electronic sound at his studio in Darmstadt, Germany. His most important encounter was with John Cage, whose Zen-influenced, antimaterialist approach profoundly changed Paik's thinking as well as his art.
His performances of this period were intensely physical, visual, often shocking, and sometimes violent. Years later Cage recalled, "His work is fascinating, and often rather frightening. Now I would think twice about attending one of his performances. He generates a real sense of danger, and sometimes goes further than we are willing to accept."1 Paik doused himself with water, banged his head on the piano keyboard, leapt, yelled, and drank water from his own shoe. This "action music," he explained, was an attempt to renew the ontological, or essential, nature of music rather than just its form.2 He was in great demand on the avant-garde circuit, performing throughout Europe with the nascent Fluxus group. During these years he also made his first altered televisions by manipulating the horizontal and vertical hold controls to obtain distorted images, or hooking televisions to interactive radio controls to make sound "visible" on-screen.
Performance, music, video, and sculpture come together seamlessly in the objects Paik made for Charlotte Moorman, the cellist who became his chief collaborator after 1964. Two key works, TV Bra for Living Sculpture (1969) and TV Cello (1971), are in the Walker Art Center's collection. The former is an ungainly assemblage of two small picture tubes inside plexiglass cases, which was held on Moorman's body by an arrangement of clear plastic straps. The images on the monitors could be broadcast television, videotape, or closed-circuit views of the audience; at times the pictures were changed, modulated, and regenerated by the sounds produced by Moorman's cello as she played.3TV Cello is a stack of three picture tubes, also inside plexiglass boxes, that mimics the shape of a cello. Paik fitted it with three strings and tuning pegs on a plexiglass neck; like TV Bra, its images changed with the performer's actions.
Moorman noted wryly that TV Cello was the first innovation in cello design since 1600,4 and both objects were part of Paik's attempt to personalize the new technology. He claimed in 1969 that "by using TV as bra, the most intimate belonging of a human being, we will demonstrate the human use of technology, and also stimulate viewers … to look for the new, imaginative, and humanistic ways of using our technology."5 He has since been at the forefront of experimentation with moving-image technology, making works that range from single-channel video collages such as Global Groove (1973) to monumental installations of dozens of television monitors to his recent Transmission (2002), an outdoor laser-beam projection controlled by his own performance on the piano.
In 1967, Paik was included in the Walker's exhibition Light/Motion/Space. He showed Electronic Waltz (1966), a color television set that displayed gyrating abstract shapes through the action of a magnet attached to its picture tube.6 A decade later he produced Anti-Gravity Study (1976) for another Walker show, The River: Images of the Mississippi. This time, he suspended thirty monitors from the gallery ceiling and animated them with footage of steamboats, fish, shorelines, and other imagery evocative of river life. In 1987, when then–Walker Director Martin Friedman approached Paik about acquiring a new work, the artist suggested combining elements from the two earlier pieces to make a new one, which was eventually titled 66-76-89 (1990). At its base is the original blond wood set from Electronic Waltz, now retrofitted with electronic circuitry that simulates the original image. On it Paik placed a stack of thirty-two monitors showing footage from Anti-Gravity Study as well as newer video material. The installation provides a mini-survey of two decades of Paik's work, but also embodies his rich history with this institution.

Alright Rasch, but if some good looking girl asks you to go to an island with them like she did in Spain you have to go this time. There is 'No Whining' on my trip either!
Combination Superbowl and Going Away Party
Loading Map
I'm just trying to figure this whole travelblog out right now so I figured I would send this out to make sure I know how to use it before I leave. This way you can see what I've been up to and where I've been. Well, I'm officially unemployed and on a "fixed income" as Matt Morgan would say. Last Thursday was my last day of work and I have less than two weeks before I leave. I'll be in Denver this week visiting my sister and nephews. The next week will be spent trying to get all of my things packed up and ready for my trip and seeing some family and friends.
I depart on Friday, February 16th, landing in Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval. It is the biggest party in the world so I'm pretty pumped. From there I'm really not sure. My tentative plans are to work my way up through South and Central America and try to get to Europe for the big tomato fight in Spain and Oktoberfest. I might head over to SE Asia from there and then over to Australia/New Zealand, but all of this is real tentative at the moment. I'm sure I will see some of you before I leave, but if not I will miss you guys and keep in touch. It would really be good to hear from you while I'm gone so keep in touch. If anyone wants to meet me somewhere along the way, just give me a shout.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family Pictures

This post was pretty funny, but now i distort/fabricate things? C'mon Deli, you're better than this.Comrade Morehead,
We are all aware of you belief that all quarterback are equal, and that you can simple sub out any quarterback at any time and the Proletariat will get the same glorious results. The individual does not matter; only the collective.
Fun fact from Morehead: Montana is just as good as Leif.
And by your massive distortions about Comrade Ben, Comrade Brady and First Secretary Montana I see you used to work for Pravda. Comrade Ben and Comrade Montana both started the drive knowing a FG would send it into overtime. True they scored, but General Eli remains the only one who had to score a TD and did it.
You simply and completely made up the Brady stuff out of whole cloth. Both time no where near fit the description of what General Eli did (or Comrade Ben and First Secretary Montana).
I honestly thought you were Gumby there for a second.
And way to twist what the Manning boys said. They didn't say it was easier to score a TD than a FG (something that every school child is taught on the collective).
They were talking about the mindset going in, not that it was easier to drive 88 yards than it is to drive 50ish. Knowing that you had to score made it easier on you mentally, because you didn't need to do the calculations, you just had to score.
Big, big difference.
It's not that it's silly to say "Eli did it", it's silly to argue that he didn't. I never said it was all Eli, I just said to give him credit for what he factually did and what is recognized world wide as having been done by Eli.
Comrade Morehead...it is you that is rejecting the glorious reality.


text: Try the S&W M&P in .40 S&W, .45 ACP, or 9x19mm. The slide release is ambidextrous and the mag release reversable. Most lefties I know and those who have shot my M&P 40 use their index finger to release the mag and do it as quickly as I do with my thumb. Otherwise it is a lower cost option for ambi use than the H&K like the USP40 that I have as well. Mag release is reversable as well so you can make the LH your strong side with the thumb operation as well.

Their last reply was "We've ordered the blueprints". The reason was that the barrel part is slightly loose and will wiggle a bit up and down. Has anyone taken apart theirs? Is there some screw to fasten? It's mostly metal so I would imagine it's not glued...?
