the only other answer is he's calling better audibles at the line of scrimmage, I guess that "could" be true, but I think he was calling the right ones already, I think it was the receiving corps that didn't know what they were doing, I think that because they were new at the time and he had been here for 4 years already.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Is he calmer? I don't know, one thing he was always good at since 04" was standing in the pocket till the last second, another thing he was good at was getting rid of the ball when there was no play...he was good at it from the beginning and has remained good at it his whole career.
you keep going back to 2010 and the Int's....seriously though, watch those games again if you can, 8-10 of those Ints are tipped by our own receivers...another 8-10 of those ints are CLEAR miscommunications between him and a receiver....those Ints did not happen because he was "skittish" like you (and Reese) claim...he was never skittish...that is not a value/quality that exists in him or his family for that matter.
I'd venture to say that what you are saying is only clear to uniformed fans (which you obviously are not which is why it confuses me)
the fans who think what you are saying is true are the same fans who simple did not understand that Gilbrides offense is an option route offense and when it looked like Eli was throwing it directly to defenders he was actually throwing to where his receiver should have been, you already know that, so you know that it wasn't his accuracy that improved.
I don't want to Izbo you here Morehead but the statistics also back my theory over yours minus 2010 (which I've already explained...tips/miscommunications with young receivers) he's been pretty consistent with his completion %, TD/Int ratio, his yardage has been 4k+ since the 2009 season, even his QB Rate has been pretty consistent since 08.
he's been this good for 4 years at least...his receiving corps has just come into it's own recently.

I can't believe two people just used the term "elusive" with Eli lol.....
I wouldnt say elusive, just maybe more 'aware' in general, which allows him to know when to move a little better.
I side with Daven on this....he isn't better....he just LOOKS better with what he has at his disposal
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
You don't have to take my word for it, listen to Tom Coughlin who said in February of 2011, that Eli needed to throw the ball away more and take more sacks. Which is exactly what he did in 2011. I also noticed for the first time in the Rams game that he started to dump the ball off better underneath.
And no....except for the bazaar helmet play, Eli was NOT elusive. Remember the "America's game" show on NFLN where Sean O'Hara said that Eli trips over his own feet and that the rest of the team was shocked that he avoided that sack in SB 42.
It simply is what it is. Last year he had a poorer O line and no running game and had great productivity. He has continued that this season. Yes the "Old Eli" does show his ugly face on a play here or there, but essentially he is a far more complete player than he was.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
if you ask him or his coaches or the players they are all going to say the stock answer (yes he's improved) because they are supposed to improve every year...and he does...but there is no drastic difference between the 2011 Eli Manning and the 2010 Eli Manning, the drastic changed lies mostly in the receiving corps becoming suitable.
I find it humorous that you call me an "Eli Cultist" when really what I'm doing is taking credit AWAY from Eli and giving it to Nicks/Cruz and the receiving corps.

With its prehensile tail and strong, opposing toes, the common
chameleon is a natural climber. But you're not likely to see younger
member of the species Chamaeleo chamaeleon among the trees
and bushes of their native Mediterranean habitat, and the reason has
nothing to do with that famous talent for camouflage.
Why do young chameleons prefer to stay close to the ground, where
they face more predators, can have difficulty finding shade and risk
looking terribly awkward scurrying through the grass, when they seem
so clearly adapted for arboreal life? Apparently, the powerful force
behind this behavior is generational conflict. It seems that adult
chameleons are quite territorial—and even willing to resort to
killing and eating younger members of their own species to keep the
trees to themselves.
In a recent study published in Behavioral Ecology and
Sociobiology, biologists Tammy Keren-Rotem and Eli Geffen of
Tel Aviv University and Amos Bouskila of Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev argue that cannibalism in the common chameleon has
resulted in an ontogenetic habitat shift. That is, as individuals
develop, their choice of habitat changes. In this case, juvenile
chameleons tend to stay in low grasses, whereas adults make better
use of their anatomical gifts by living primarily in trees. About
four months after emerging from their eggs, when they have grown too
large to be eaten by adults, chameleons will finally begin to
venture farther off the ground.
The common chameleon is not the only species to undergo this type of
change. Frogs stick to the water as tadpoles, of course, but can
take to land once they develop limbs and lungs. Some fish change
territory as well, often due to corresponding changes in diet. Other
causes of ontogenetic habitat shift can include the selection of
perch sites (some juvenile lizards, for example, forage on small
branches that can't support the weight of adults) and changes in the
amount of heat or sunlight required.
Keren-Rotem, Bouskila and Geffen narrowed the list of possible
explanations for habitat shift in the common chameleon by conducting
experiments with individuals found in a nature preserve near Mt.
Carmel, along the Israeli Mediterranean. First, they observed the
habitat preference of 15 adults and 15 juveniles in the absence of
other chameleons, confirming that adults spend most of their days
and nights on the middle and upper branches of trees, while
juveniles usually remain in grasses or on lower tree branches. They
then examined what happened when adults and juveniles were placed
near each other. Young chameleons showed little change in behavior
when around another juvenile, but most either froze or moved quickly
away on spotting an adult.
The third experiment tested whether an attack was likely when there
was close contact between the generations. Chameleons capture prey
with a projectile-tongue technique unique among lizards, rapidly
extending their tongues as much as two body lengths to snare
victims, then pulling the prey into their mouths and swallowing it.
The biologists placed a one-way mirror between an adult and a
juvenile, so that the adult could see the juvenile but not vice
versa. The projection of an adult's tongue toward a juvenile counted
as attempted cannibalism. About a third of the adults tried to
attack the unsuspecting juveniles within 30 minutes of observation.
The authors also witnessed one incident of cannibalism in the field
when a young chameleon made the mistake of getting a bit too close
to an adult.
Although the authors do not draw any definite conclusions about why
cannibalism would have developed in the common chameleon, it may
just make evolutionary sense. "Treating any juvenile as a food
item," says Geffen, "may increase the proportion of the
cannibal's gene copies in the population"—assuming, of
course, that the unlucky chameleon is not the offspring of the
perpetrator. There have not yet been any tests of whether
relatedness affects the odds of cannibalism, but according to Geffen
it's unlikely that chameleons can recognize their offspring. Another
possible explanation is resource competition: Killing a young
chameleon leaves that much more food for the adult. As an added
bonus, notes Geffen, young chameleons make an excellent source of protein.

Adrienne Bailon's Best Beauty Moments!
Day: Ashley was ready to have some fun in the sun at a pool party with beachy waves, black mascara, eyeliner, and pink lipstick. Just because you're outside by the water doesn't mean you should skip makeup all together — the trick is to not go overboard.
Night: Trying a more glam look for night, Ash kept her sleek, short curls tucked behind one ear and opted for a smoky eye and a gold-flecked, red lip. Now this is a hot look Caleb would be into!
Day: Lea's slightly undone side braid is the perfect, unfussy daytime 'do.
Night: Meanwhile, for night, her ombre highlights are even more noticeable in blown-out, wavy tresses. Black eyeliner and mega lashes dominate her makeup and complement her eyes.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Aug 19, 2010.
When do UM and MSU play? I'm looking forward to watching some bowl games tonight.
I'm pretty sure they don't play today.
Uggh. Embarrassing. Both teams (U of M and MSU)...Putrid...they made the Big Ten look pretty bad. If TCU wins I will never hear the end of it from BSU fans. I knew Sparty would get blown out but I thought Michigan would put up a good fight. Well, U of M fans should be happy that Rich Rod will be gone for sure now.
I think that this was the nail in the coffin. However, I'm not very happy. What a disaster. I wonder if Millen would be interested in testing out the college waters.
The SEC and the Texas teams pretty much put the Big 10 to shame today beating Michigan, MSU, Northwestern, Penn State and Wisconsin. Looks like all of the coaches in the Big 10 team should be embarrassed or even put the hot seat, but definitely RichRod and his staff should canned before the plane lands back at Metro Airport

Can one of you local folk tell me if Rich Rod still has a job with Michigan?? At least defensive coach should have been canned by now...
Just throw him out of the plane...
Stanford plays their Bowl Game on Monday Night. Give Harbaugh a rest on Tuesday. Fire Rich Rod on Wednesday. Announce new coach on Thursday. Lovin this after bowl season for Michigan...
I know we don't expect Harbaugh to say anything when he still has a game to coach, but has he released any soundbites recently about coming back to his alma mater to coach? Based on the display the Wolves put on yesterday, he may want to stay put at Stanford until the SF 49ers offer him a job...
Harbaugh has been even less committal about any career moves.... ...."I just love to compete and I like challenges," Harbaugh told the New York Times when asked about his future. Harbaugh was asked Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., if it bothered him to have his name mentioned for other jobs... "I just talk about the job that I have and none others," Harbaugh said. "That's the way I've always handled it in the past, and it's worked well. The way I handle it now and in the future, just focus and concentrate on the task at hand." If Michigan buys out Rodriguez and can't convince Harbaugh to come back to Ann Arbor, it might hire San Diego State coach and former Wolverines assistant Brady Hoke.
Some think Hoke would be better than Harbaugh.
I could go with either one.
Hoke signed a two-year contract extension in December to his original 5-year contract signed in 2008, meaning he is under contract at SDSU until 2015. He has a $1.5mil buyout that will go down to $1mil in a year or two. His teams have made huge improvements at Ball State and now San Diego State. SDSU was a tough matchup this year in the Mountain West. BYU, Utah, and even TCU were all fortunate to beat them. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5890813
Harbaugh was passed over by Michigan when the QB coach job came up in 2002. Different AD then, but does Jim hold that against them?? Will the pressure to overcome RichRods mistakes and his recruited players be to much for Harbaugh to put up with....We know the worldwide Michigan Alumni will give him a little more leeway, but not sure if they want to go another three years of losing to OSU and MSU.....before he turns it around. Will it be easier to just stay in the bay area go up the road to take on the forty-niner egoes?? Lou Holtz says he maybe to young to take on an NFL head coaching job yet???
Rumors around here are that he may be asked to take a couple of NFL jobs. The catch to this is that the Michigan job may become available. There are plenty of NFL teams he could coach but their is only one Michigan. The question becomes does he want to kick around the NFL every few years or coach his alma mater til he retires.
According my sources.....@ ESPN....can Michigan afford to pay the RichRod buyout and pay Harbaugh since the NFL will offer more cashmoney than the Wolverines. Stanford has a buyout in place for Harbaugh too. Les Myles at LSU is still an option too.
Harbaugh is in the catbird seat to write his own ticket even before Stanford wipes out VT tonight. With Luck most likely to go tops in the draft I doubt Harbaugh will be able to resist the offers to leave. UM has money-to-burn and is desperate to wake up from the RR nightmare. The offer rumors are flying but I doubt any NFL team would be willing to out-pay UM for a guy with no NFL coaching experience. UM will make him one of the highest paid college HC's. And...he will do a great job there.
I remember a few years ago back when I lived in Michigan and had season football tickets to the Big House. The University put up some signage on the perimeter of the stadium facia. It was to speak of the history of the team, but instead looked gaudy and out of place. Many alum complained, but the AD said that the signage cost millions to put up and would cost millions to remove. The signs were removed within 48 hours and one check was written to cover the costs.
Hey, did RRods teams before UoM have a defensive presence? Cause he got to bowl game with out one.
Separate names with a comma.

| Adding to Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, the epic saga continues with Halo 3, the amazingly anticipated sequel to the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise. In this third chapter of the Halo trilogy, Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.
The short presentation was delivered in real-time on the Xbox 360 using the current version of the Halo 3 game engine. That's right, no studio production video, Bungie and Microsoft delivered the real deal: what they showed at the announcement is what gamers will see when they play Halo 3 in 2007. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects are rumored to show up in full effect in the final game. Needless to say, the gaming community is salivating.
CJ Cowan, Bungie's director of cinematics discussed one of the most startling moments of the presentation: the return of Cortana. "Given the variety of character and story arcs at the end of Halo 2, we wanted to boil down our announcement to a few key threads. Cortana and the Chief being a galaxy apart is a situation we haven't seen before, and is something that is a powerful component to Halo 3. We are using her transmissions in the demo to give the viewer a few subtle clues to her situation and state of mind, without revealing any specifics we want to save for the game itself."
Graphically, the game closely follows in the tradition of Halo 2, although it has been upgraded to take advantage of the Xbox 360's more prodigious visual abilities. As art direct Marcus Lehto explained, "[The presentation] was intended to be an understated announcement of Halo 3 -- the tone is that of mystery and suspense -- the calm before the storm. I wanted to make sure that we reintroduced the Chief, showed that Earth was thoroughly conquered, with Covenant everywhere, and that there is a glorious, ancient artifact buried under the Earth's crust which will provide Halo 3 with the epic journey which we all want."
Taking full advantage of the power of Xbox 360, Halo 3 expands on everything that has made the franchise great, adding a wealth of technical and gameplay advancements. The game design has evolved with next-generation, high-definition visuals, enhanced A.I., an advanced real-time lighting engine, and, of course, new weapons, characters, and challenges. Halo 3 promises an unparalleled first-person shooter experience and, in the end, the most compelling and engrossing story in the franchise's history. Last, but certainly not least, Halo 3 builds upon the unique social multiplayer experience and innovative, evolving online gameplay of Halo 2. Rest assured, you'll still be able to run with your clan and battle with (or against) your buddies from coast to coast.

It is the students' responsibility to confirm exemption from either the EPT or ELM exam by contacting the Admissions/Records Office, North Lobby, Joyal Administration Building.
Information bulletins and registration materials for the EPT and ELM may be obtained
from the Office of Testing Services.
Credit by Examination
Students may challenge courses by taking examinations developed at California State University, Fresno. Credit shall be awarded to those who pass them successfully.
Credit for Non-collegiate Instruction. Fresno State grants undergraduate degree credit for successful completion of non-collegiate instruction, either military or civilian, appropriate to the baccalaureate degree, which has been recommended by the Commission on Educational Credit and Credentials of the American Council on Education. The numbers of units allowed are those recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs.
Credit by examination is designed to encourage regularly enrolled students to seek college credit in courses in which they have competence but for which credit has not been earned by the usual academic processes. This permits students to accelerate their progress and provides an opportunity for wider selection of coursework. The following procedures should be followed:
- With the concurrence of the department, students may apply for credit by examination in any course in our current General Catalog for which they appear to be reasonably qualified by training or experience and for which college credit has not been previously allowed. Credit by examination is not awarded if credit has been granted for previous coursework more advanced than the level represented by the examination in question. Credit by examination is not allowed in courses in which students have been permitted to register as auditors during the same semester, in which students have received a failing or no credit grade, or in which they have unsuccessfully sought credit by examination.
- Students enroll for credit by examination at any time during the first two weeks of classes. Students must be regularly enrolled in other courses before they are granted permission to earn credit by examination. Units of credit by examination are counted as part of the total units registered for a given semester or term. Applications for credit by examination must be completed by students and approved by the respective departments.
- The examination must be administered by the end of the fourth week of instruction, and the instructor must report the grade prior to the close of the sixth week.
- The course in which students request credit by examination is so designated on their record. Students will receive a credit (CR) grade if the examination is passed with a C or higher grade. If they are unsuccessful, a no credit (NC) grade is reported. Units earned count toward all appropriate requirements but are not used in computing their GPA.
- The number of units earned by credit by examination in any semester or term may not exceed the number of units completed in regular enrollment. A maximum of 30 units earned by examination may be counted toward a bachelor's degree.
Credit earned by examination does not meet the residence requirement of the university. For further information, consult the department concerned. See also Advanced Placement.
Graduate Students
Credit by examination for coursework may be used to fulfill prerequisites only and may not be applied toward the total units required for a master's degree.
Independent Study
Independent study is offered to give students experience in planning and outlining
a course of study on their own initiative under departmental supervision. Independent
study should deal with a special interest not covered in a regular course or with
the exploration in greater depth of a subject presented in a regular course. Each
department has an independent study upper -division course (190). In addition, some
departments have a lower-division course (90) and/or a graduate-level course (290).
To be eligible for independent study, students should have an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher. This requirement may be waived in exceptional cases, when approved by the department chair. Maximum credit of 6 units in independent study courses is allowed toward the bachelor's degree, and maximum credit of 6 units in independent study courses may be approved for use toward a 30-unit master's degree. Such credit is limited to a maximum of 3 units per semester. Under extraordinary circumstances more than 3 units per semester may be allowed on petition to the department chair.
Eligible students desiring to register for Independent Study must first obtain the consent of an instructor, who will guide the project, and the chair of the department in which the course is given. Students must register for Independent Study courses during the regular registration period in the same manner as they register for any other course at the time of registration.
An independent study course normally includes an oral examination by a committee set up by the supervising instructor, a formal report that is filed in the department office, and an abstract of the study that is filed with the department chair. Approval forms and copies of the current regulations may be obtained from department, school, or college offices.

Credit for Noncollegiate Instruction
This university grants undergraduate degree credit appropriate to the baccalaureate degree for successful completion of noncollegiate instruction, either military or civilian, that has been recommended by the Commission on Educational Credit and Credentials of the American Council on Education. The number of units allowed are those recommended in AGuide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs.
Credit for Military Service Coursework
A lower-division elective credit is given for recruit training for initial entry into
the service providing the student was on active duty for at least one year and one
day. Credit given varies depending on the branch of service and date of entry. An
applicant for credit must submit a copy of Notice of Separation (DD214) to the Degree Advising Office.
DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support) maintains the educational records of the servicemen and women who have completed SSTs (Subject Standardized Tests), CLEP (College Level Examination Program) examinations and GED tests. DANTES has also maintained USAFI (United States Armed Forces Institute) transcripts since that organization ceased to exist in 1974.
College credit is awarded for acceptable SST scores as recommended by DANTES. Equivalency for SST credit is determined by our departments. Other credits recommended by DANTES (CLEP, etc.) must meet university guidelines for the awarding of credit for those examinations. DANTES/USAFI correspondence credit is combined with other extension or correspondence coursework to a maximum of 24 semester units.
Additional credit is granted for military courses as recommended in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. A maximum of 30 units is allowed for military credit.
College Level Examination Program
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed to be a means through which recognition, academic credit, and placement may be given for less conventional forms of educational experience. Those who may have reached a college level of education through home or correspondence study, on-the-job training, television courses, or by other means may take the CLEP examinations, which are offered by the College Entrance Examination Board. They are now offered only as computer-based tests and are available through Testing Services on campus.
Within the restrictions of systemwide policy, this university awards up to 6 units
of credit for successfully completed CLEP examinations. Such credit is applied to
the total units required for the baccalaureate degree, but it is not applied to the
General Education requirement. Not all CLEP examinations are acceptable under system
policy. It is the responsibility of the student to check with the appropriate department
to determine whether it accepts CLEP credit. This should be done prior to taking the
CLEP exam.
Credits earned through CLEP are included among the maximum of 30 units of Credit by Examination that may be credited toward a bachelor's degree. For additional information, call Testing Services,559.278.2457.
Upper-Division Writing Examination.
The UDWE is administered by the university and may be used to satisfy the upper-division
writing skills requirement. One unit of credit may be granted (ENGL 100W) to registered
undergraduate students upon request. This unit may be applied toward the 40 upper-division
unit degree requirement and total units for the baccalaureate degree but cannot be
applied toward the 30 residence unit degree requirement or for postbaccalaureate credit.
For details, call Testing Services,559.278.2457.
Intrasystem and Intersystem Enrollment Programs
Fully matriculated students enrolled at any CSU campus have access to courses at other CSU campuses on a space available basis unless those campuses/programs are impacted. This access is offered without students being required to be formally admitted to the host campus and in most cases without paying additional fees. Students should consult their home campus academic advisors to determine how such courses may apply to their specific degree programs before enrolling at the host campus.
There are two programs for enrollment within the CSU and one for enrollment between CSU and the University of California or California Community colleges. Additional information about these programs is available from Enrollment Services 559.278.2191.
- CSU Concurrent Enrollment – Matriculated students in good standing may enroll at both their home CSU campus and a host CSU campus during the same term. Credit earned at the host campus is reported at the student's request to the home campus to be included on the student's transcript at the home campus. Many online courses at CSU campus are available for concurrent enrollment.
- CSU Fully Online Courses – Matriculated students in good standing may request enrollment in one course per term, offered by a CSU host campus. Enrollment requests will be granted based on available space, as well as completion of any stated prerequisites. Credit earned at the host campus is electronically reported to the student's home campus to be included on the student's transcript at the home campus.
- CSU Visitor Enrollment – Matriculated students in good standing enrolled at one CSU campus may enroll at another CSU campus for one term. Credit earned at the host campus is reported at the student's request to the home campus to be included on the student's transcript at the home campus.
- Intersystem Cross Enrollment – Matriculated CSU, UC, or community college students may enroll on a "space available" basis for one course per term at another CSU, UC, or community college and request that a transcript of record be sent to the home campus.

Anyone made a subwoofer box for an 07 or 08 extended cab? Sure would like some help.
I have an 04 and bought two individual boxes each with a 10" P2 and put one on each side under the back seat. It almost comes to the edge of the seat, but not quite. I bought them at Best Buy. Buddy worked there and got his cost.
you can order them from supercrewsound.com
Thanks for the info.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm still learning so I like to look once a week but I see that I need to move more towards two week intervals or more. It is hard to find time for the bees but it's something i really enjoy and i inspect when I can fit it in. I know the more experience i get the less time i'll have to spend and I'll be able to handle more colonies. Thanks again everyone.
Best of luck to you Jordan. Guess you got a pretty good dose of one spectrum of the beekeeping world.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
yep, you'll do fine jordan. as you get more experience you learn what's appropriate for the time of year, what you are seeing happening, ect.
sometimes all you have to do is pick up, or 'heft', the back of the hive to determine how they're doing on stores. other times just a peek under the cover will do.
a critical time is just before swarm season hits your location, especially if you are trying to prevent them.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
One of the fears that I always have with digging into a hive too often or without a good reason is the small chance I might crush a queen which can prove devastating to the hive depending on the time of the year.
Rob Renneker
there is some thinking that you free any hive beetles that the bees have 'jailed' each time you pull the hive apart.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Since we run quite a few two queen units many of our hives get checked frequently in may and June due to those manipulations. During the rest of the season we walk yards every two weeks and judge much of what is to be done at the entrance. I look for the amount and type of activity. Are the hives working at about the same pace numbers and speed. Are there bees bringing in pollen, that's my queen check, are there a good number of guard bees, tells me balanced population unless robbing behavior is observed. Do the bees seem "focused and busy" if a flow is going on. I usually open a strong one and a weaker one in each yard. Am I seeing any wandering bees on the ground (nosema or DWV signs) or unusual numbers of dead bees or is there dead larvae being hauled out, are their scratches on the front from a skunk getting under a fence. These indicators are added up and I act according to what I see. I think as years go by there is that 6th sense we develop that tells us to open a hive and we do just out of the blue. I am amazed at how much more work and inspection is involved than pre varroa days - up to 1996 in our area. In reading Harry's posts I think we could do better and will likely reflect on our 2013 management. I'm a true beliver the days of "let alone beekeeping" for those making a living at it are long gone.
As for 2 dumb - I think your advice to the orginal question is spot on.

All across Wisconsin, Scandinavian and German bakeries start firing up with the onset of crisp, cool autumn days; the lines soon grow long for fresh fall-fruit pastries. For most of us, rich strudel wouldn't be an everyday affair. But with walnut oil (instead of copious amounts of butter) and fresh pears, it can, nevertheless, become a decadence-free indulgence, perfect for your next dinner party. Serve it with frozen nonfat vanilla yogurt or vanilla crème anglaise.

Serves 10
Prep Time 90 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine pears, dried cranberries, 1/4 cup sugar, orange zest and orange juice in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Unroll phyllo onto a clean, dry surface. Cover with a sheet of wax paper and then a damp kitchen towel. Place a dry kitchen towel with a long edge toward you on the work surface. Sprinkle the towel lightly with breadcrumbs. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on the towel. (Keep the stack of phyllo sheets covered to prevent them from drying out while you work.) Starting at the center and working toward the edges, lightly brush the phyllo sheet with oil. Sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs. Lay another sheet of phyllo on top; brush with oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat with 5 of the remaining sheets of phyllo; lay the last sheet on top and brush with oil.
Step 4
Mound the pear filling in a long 3-inch-wide strip on the phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border at the bottom and sides. Fold the short edges in and, starting at the long edge nearest you, roll the filling and phyllo into a cylinder, using the towel to help lift as you roll. Roll up firmly but not too tightly, to allow a little room for expansion.
Step 5
Brush the strudel with oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Carefully transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Poke several steam vents in the top using the tip of a sharp knife.
Step 6
Bake the strudel until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.

That is a good looking truck, the step bars does make it look better, but I really like the old school hood ornament :great:
I like them but the fender trim......:no:
Looks good, I've always liked the N-Fab steps. Like to see a close up of the hood ornament though, that's something you don't see too much of these days.
I like it!!! Does the 35's rub?
Yes they rub!!! Had to trim some of the inner liner at the bottom. I'm sure it will rub REAL bad if I go Off Roading!!!
I've never been able to make up my mind if I wanted those on my truck or not, but they sure look good on yours!!! Like Telorvech said, they really accentuate the wheels, & make a nice continuation.

Reviews of this property
Nice little apartment and good location.
Fin lille lejlighed og god beliggenhed.
Staying in Filibertos apartment was very nice. The rooms are on the canal from Milan. For Subway, it is a 7 minute walk and there are nearby many restaurants, pubs, etc.
I would stay here again.
Greetings from Munich sends
Der Aufenthalt in Filibertos Appartement war sehr schön. Die Räume sind am Kanal von Mailand. Zur Subway ist es 7 Minuten zu Fuß und es sind in unmittelbarer Nähe viele Restaurants, Pubs usw.
Ich komme gerne wieder.
Viele Grüße aus München sendet
Personale dell'agenzia molto gentile e disponibile.Appartamento piccolo ma molto carino; il caminetto è solo arredativo ma l' ambiente è comunque riscaldato da termosifoni sempre accesi.Comodità nel raggiungere i punti più caratteristici di Milano e vicinanza a molti negozi e locali notturni.E' stato un soggiorno di gruppo molto piacevole.
appartamento e location eccellente, posto molto carino e comodo per i mezzi,
senza bisogno dell'auto, l'unica pecca è appunto il parcheggio che costa molto
anche se pubblico, e se posso trovare un difetto è il letto un po scomodo, si potrebbe migliorare un po'. Comunque se dovessi consigliarlo lo consiglierei
proprio per la sua posizione.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Me and my wife spend 4 days at Milan staying at the flat. The location of the flat is very convenience, close to central station from where you can take bus to Malpensa airport and main trains put of Milano like Venice, Como lake etc. Alos the shopping area is a short walk about 20 minutes which we didnt bother. Walking around the town is better rather than taking taxis and busses. You get to know the city better and see all shops. Near the flat is the big skycryper of Unicredit and a small financial center. Is the area where you can see all new skycrypers and new buildings. There is also a near supermarket at the near plaza which is very cheap. The decoration of the flat is very old which looks better from wimdu pictures. Its one bedroon flat with living room , kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom is a reasonable size with retro furniture. The wifi was not working and ask the landlor to fix it. Till the day we left nothing happened. Wonder if they have fixed it. Looking back to old reviews some others had the same problem and now i wonder if they ever had a workable wifi. We had one set of towel each with not replacement. The bedroom was very well climate with the central heating working all day. Hot water was 27/7 however we had a bit of problem is shower. Hot water could not stay all time same tempreture which was annoy. Also when another person was using other water tap the water was becaming very cold. Windows was very old single glase and difficult to open or close. TV had many channels including some english ones. Bed sheets was not clean so we asked for fresh ones who have provided. The landlord claimed that the sheets were cleaned but they offered fresh ones. Overall cleanless of the flat was not up my standard if i compare with a hotel i would say a 2 star bedroom. If you dont mind the flat contintion but you prefer a good location then go for it. You get what you pay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a nice stay. The water was cold and we sent a sms and it tok them 20 min ti fix it. Close to metro and Close to the things you want to se. 3 min to supermarket. 2 min to metro. I can recoment this Place.
A pleasant place to stay in Milano. 10 min walk from Central Station, service was good and informations helpful.
For questions answer mail was always quick and kind so no stress of organizing the trip. Room was clean stylish comfortable for short stay of mine.
Perfect location for city holidays. Recommandable!

Dig deeper into Grails architecture and discover how this application framework works its magic. Written by a core developer on the Grails team, this practical guide takes you behind the curtain to reveal the inner workings of its 2.0 feature set. You'll learn best practices for building and deploying Grails applications, including performance, security, scaling, tuning, debugging, and monitoring.
Understand how Grails integrates with Groovy, Spring, Hibernate, and other JVM technologies, and learn how to create and use plugins to augment your application's functionality. Once you know how Grails adds behavior by convention, you can solve problems more easily and develop applications more intuitively.
Burt Beckwith has been a software developer for 15 years, most of that as a JVM developer, and for the last four years working with Grails and Groovy. He is a core developer on the Grails team at SpringSource, and has created over 35 Grails plugins. Burt is a frequent speaker at conferences and user groups where he shares his passion for Grails and other Groovy-based technologies, in particular those that are related to persistence, security, and performance. He blogs at http://burtbeckwith.com/blog/.

The animal on the cover of Programming Grails is an Antarctic giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus), also known as a southern giant petrel. These large seabirds live in the southern hemisphere, nesting on subtropic islands around South America, Australia, and Africa, as well as the Antarctic continent. The name "petrel" is derived from Saint Peter, because this family of birds appear to run across water when they are taking off into the air.This is the largest of the petrels, with an average wingspan of 73–81 inches. Males weigh around 11 pounds, and females range from 7–18 pounds. The majority of Antarctic giant petrels have a light head and neck, with mottled brown plumage on the rest of their body. On their upper beaks are "naricorns," tubular nostrils used to expel excess salt after drinking seawater (with the help of a gland that secretes concentrated saline).Breeding season occurs in October and November, and the birds form loose colonies while they are nesting. Giant petrel nests are built on the ground, and are made of moss, grass, and stones. They only lay one egg at a time, which is incubated between 55–66 days.Though the giant petrel catches squid and fish near the surface of the water and occasionally hunts other seabirds, it is largely a scavenger, eating whale, seal, and penguin carcasses that have washed ashore. This carrion diet is of note when considering one of their nicknames, "stinker": their defense mechanism is to regurgitate food and oil and spit it at whatever is threatening them. The northern and southern giant petrels are also the only petrels that are able to efficiently walk on land.The cover image is from Wood's Animate Creations.

The Grails Bible
By Xeno
from San Francisco, CA
For those who have all the other Grails books but still have issues with the underlying Spring components, this book answers all your questions. Mr Beckwith goes into great detail talking about all the pieces of the architecture and how it interacts with the underlying pieces of spring, how the pieces are created and how they are used. He also details how to customize for your needs. This is a must have for the Grails professional.
In depth knowledge for experienced progr
By hb
from Minneapolis
This is an extremely useful but difficult read. It goes into depth into the plumbing of Grails, so if you aren't VERY familiar with all the terms and usage, this will be a long read. This is likely necessary for a book of this type. Beginner books can gloss over the hard stuff; this one tackles it head on.I recommend this book for anyone that needs to know what is *really* going on with their Grails programming.
Very detailed stuff
By Lojza Tran
from Prague, CZ
Burt wrote a very in-depth book about Grails and it's exactly what I've been looking for. I think this is the only one book for advanced developers in Grails so far. Many of the chapters in this book can be applied elsewhere, especially when developing with Spring or Hibernate.
Amazing book, highly recommended
By Alidad
from Columbus,Oh
Programming Grails by Burt is full of incredibly useful/must-know information about Grails. Specially if you are not coming from spring background, this book can help you understanding many of the concepts used in Grails. More exciting is learning little small tricks that can help configuring the framework to fit your needs.

A must-have for any grails programmer
By fabien7474
from France
This book is not for Grails beginner. However, this is the only resource available that unify and explain deeply Grails concepts, mechanism and "magik". I have been expecting this kind of books for a long time, and if I had it in time I would have started coding Groovy/Grails differently AND it would have avoided me many mistakes.A must-have

Very advanced subject matter
By Scott
from Washington, DC
Just a warning that while I like the book quite a bit, it's really a very advanced level book.Not a good introduction into Grails. More like a second or third level book for someone who has gone through the other "learn Grails" kind of books. Very good explanation of what's going on underneath but often if you are not well versed in Java and/or Spring it's rather hard to understand in spots.If you do manage to understand it, it will help you with some of the Grails gotchas as you understand Grails underpinnings.The marketing of this book should definitely be adjusted or many buyers expecting an intro to Grails will pan this book as being impossible to understand.

Most In-Depth Book on Grails
By Jean Barmasn
from New York, NY
Four more chapters were just released (Sep 2012), including chapters on Spring and Hibernate. Those are worth the price of the book alone. Burt is one of the most helpful and knowlegeable people in the Grails community, and this book shares much of his knowledge. As an experienced Grails programmer (over 3 years) I definitely learned a lot of new about the framework. Highly recommend!
Excellent look under the hood of Grails
By Ken Kousen
from Marlborough, CT
About Me Developer, Educator
Yes, this "early access" edition is very early, but the content so far is fantastic. The Hibernate chapter is the best discussion of how Grails handles Hibernate anywhere, and Burt clearly discusses how and when to use the second-level cache.If the book consisted of that chapter alone it would be worth the price, but the other available chapters are also great. I have every reason to believe this will be an outstanding book for experienced Grails developers.

You know it's good for one exam registration…but what else do you know? And what do you need to know? Where is my voucher? It didn't come with my materials! Didn't see your voucher in your box of exam materials? Don't worry! The voucher is electronic – there is nothing that arrives in the mail. Instead, the voucher 'lives' in your account until you are ready to redeem it. When you are ready to sign up for an exam, just log into your account, click on 'My Vouchers' and follow the instructions listed there. I'm ready to take the test and redeem my voucher! Wait! Do you have your CPR/AED up to date? Your CPR/AED certificate must be current at the time of registration....as well as on your exam date. My voucher is going to expire…but I'm not ready to take the test! The vouchers are good for six months from their date of purchase (in case you forget, the date is listed in your account). This means that you register for an exam within six months from the day the voucher was issued. Do you have to take the exam in that one year time frame? Nope! But you do need to complete registration for an exam before that one year is up. Can you prepare for the exam in six months? Of course! But once your six months is up you cannot redeem the voucher and the fee you originally paid for it is not refundable. Oops! My voucher expired...what do I do? You can still register for an exam. However, you will have to pay the discounted rate of $199 for up to one year after your voucher expiration. I don't want to take the test. Can I give my voucher to someone else? Nope. Once you have purchased a voucher it is non-refundable. Vouchers are also non-transferrable. This means you can't sell someone your voucher. Also…you can't purchase someone else's voucher and use it for yourself. Once you've redeemed your voucher (used it to purchase an exam) you will not be refunded if you decide, 'oops, didn't want to take that exam after all' and decide to cancel.

Ben Olguin
Honors College to help win national fellowships
By Ann Eisenberg
Associate Dean, UTSA Honors College
(Feb. 12, 2008)--The UTSA Honors College announces the appointment of Ben Olguin as assistant director for national fellowships and scholarships. An associate professor of English, classics and philosophy, Olguin began his new Honors College duties last month.
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
In the newly created position, Olguin will identify appropriate UTSA candidates for prestigious national scholarship and fellowship competitions. He will work with qualified students to inform them of scholarship requirements and assist with the application process and in writing strong, competitive applications.
The prestigious awards include the Goldwater Scholarship, the Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship, the Truman Scholarship, the Rhodes Scholarship, the Marshall Scholarship, the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship, the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship and the Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship, among others.
The goal in creating the position was to make UTSA students more competitive for national scholarships and fellowships and ultimately to have more UTSA students win the awards. The new position supports UTSA's core value of an emphasis on excellence. Additionally, winning prestigious scholarships and fellowships enhances the reputation of the institution and can be useful in recruiting top students and fundraising.
From the perspective of students who compete for such awards -- whether they win or not -- participating in competitions enhances the educational experience, helps them develop writing and interviewing skills, and clarifies their educational and career goals. In the process, students often aim higher than they originally planned.
Undergraduate students interested in these scholarships or fellowships can schedule an appointment with Ben Olguin by calling (210) 458-4106 or visiting the Honors College in John Peace Library Building Room 4.02.10 on the 1604 Campus.
Freshmen and sophomores are particularly encouraged to schedule an appointment in order to begin planning early for success at the national level.

Funny how the Patriots make it a living beating on & running the score up on less inferior teams throughout the yrs, yet I don't hear anyone dissing them for it or saying they are a bad team. That's what great teams are supposed to do, beat on their less inferior opponents. Now comes the main event this Sunday & all I hear from most 9er fans is that the 9ers are gonna blow out the Gaints & that we should just switch over to the Yankee game by the 3rd qt.
Impressive early season W-L records always seem to fill fans with delusions of granduer. I'm sure Falcons fans are talking SB already. One thing I've learned being a Giants fan is not to get stressed over their W-L record in the 1st half of the season, Nov & Especially Dec are where division titles are won-lost.
We were 7-7 last yr & went on to win it all. Being 3-3 should we lose this Sunday won't make or break the season.
We have the toughest 11 game schedule in the NFL as of right now while the only tough teams left on SFs schedule are us, the Bears & NE. You will probably win 5 division games with maybe the Rams or Cards taking 1 from you, then Miami.
Asides from Us, NE , Chicago, pretty soft schedule IMO. Nowhere near as tough as the slate of teams on our plate for the rest of the season.
But that's all good, cuz playing all these tough teams the rest of the yr will only make us more battle tested come playoff time.
The NFCW is by far the superior division this year wake up brah.
NFCW combined W-L RECORD 14-6
NFCE combined W-L 10-9
WE HAVE 4 OF THE TOP 10 defenses in the league
,Chi, NE, NO, JETS, GB, are our common opponents.
lol Who's W-L record is 12-12
so that leaves 6 divisional games plus the afcN who's combined W-L RECORD is worse than yours a whoppin 9-10 lol
miss me with that we have a brutal schedule bs
worst post ever

Just finished reading all the posts over at their forum.The vast majority of 9ers fans seem to think the game will be a laugher for their team. I also sense a real hatred for our team & they still believe they gave us the NFCCG. pretty much no respect for the defending champs. Hopefully, the Giants have this game circled on their calender & don't treat it as just another game. This game could determine who has HFA come playoff time, and though we are rd warriors in the playoffs, I'd much rather they come to cold, freezing Met life in late Jan than us go to SF in Jan.
Don't think they would enjoy playing us in freezing conditions come playoff time.

How do I accurately reflect my degree information to potential employers?
Resume Preparation and Entering Degree Information on Job/Graduate School Applications
Misrepresentation in the marketplace has become epidemic and remains a chronic and worrisome problem for employers in this country. As a result, more and more employers are verifying academic information that appears on resumes and employment applications.
You, as a prospective graduate of Gonzaga University, should know that anyone can verify your directory information, including dates of attendance, majors, and degrees granted by contacting the Office of the Registrar. This information may not be restricted once your enrollment at Gonzaga ends, so it is open to the public for verification.
It is imperative that you accurately reflect your degree, majors and dates of attendance on your resume and on job or graduate school applications at all times. You should not indicate that you have a degree if you have not actually received a transcript with the degree posted; instead, you should indicate the expected completion date, e.g. "Degree Expected, May 2012." Once you have received notice from the Academic Degree Evaluation office that your degree has been granted, you can explicitly indicate that you have graduated. As well, once your degree has been granted it will be reflected on your student record in ZAGWEB.
If you have not received a diploma six weeks from your expected degree date, please review your academic record and degree evaluation on ZAGWEB.. If you have deficiencies please contact your program director. For additional assistance you may contact the Academic Degree Evaluation office.
Remember, the University reserves the right to withhold student diplomas until said student's account has been paid in full.
Who do I contact in my program for further questions?
If you have additional questions contact your Graduate Program Director or the Academic Degree Evaluation Office, CG 234, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 8 am - 5 pm and Wednesday, 9:30 am - 5:00 pm.

I'm feeling like the worst mentor in history. But I don't know what I could have done differently!
I was asked by my bee club to mentor an 11 year old boy and his family in beekeeping. I was thrilled to do it.
My husband and I have helped them through every stage, from assembling the hive in December, to helping them install the bees, showing them how to do inspections, and helping them to harvest some honey.
However, one thing I noticed - this is a very busy family, And somewhat disorganized. Every time we went up there, it seemed like they had misplaced equipment, etc., so we couldn't always do things the way I thought they should be done. They lost the hive tool, a queen excluder, a smoker, etc.
And, the boy has just lost interest. The only time they go in the hive is when my husband and I contact them, and say, hey, would you like us to inspect the hive with you? They never go in it themselves, and never call us with any questions, etc.
We went up there about a month ago, and suggested they put on the entrance reducer (which they lost, so that didn't happen), and to put out some wasp traps, because there were several around the hive. Then, we had them over to do some extracting, which was a really nice time.
We went up there today, and the hive is a disaster. It probably won't survive the winter. It is under terrible attack by wasps, and has been robbed out, with many dead bees.
They hadn't even looked at the hive in a MONTH. I'm going to help them try to save it, but all I could think was "why didn't you at least look at it and call me????".
My husband says not to feel bad - that a mentor is there to answer questions and help, not to do the work for them. But I still feel like I failed somehow.
Has anyone else mentored someone like this? Was I unrealistic? Not do enough?

Re: Save our School food
I'm pleased with the standard of food served in my local Primary, however with the rise of obesity in children I'm surprised at the amount of high calorie puddings. Why is this?
I'm also thoroughly dismayed by the recent introduction of "prison trays", where children receive main course and dessert on the same tray/ plate, rather than a separate plate and dish. Surely along with serving good quality food, we should be respecting it and the children, by serving it appropriately. Is this a national decision or just a local, convenience issue??

Re: Save our School food
Hi Jamie
My local primary school is pretty good with baked potatoes, veggie burgers etc but still serves iced sponge pudding with custard, chocolate crispies, other puddings or fruit. Most kids will choose the sugar hit. We don't want our kids eating puddings etc, that should be parental decision at home for treats not an everyday occurrence. Also why in this economic climate, are schools wasting money on desserts when the money could be spent on sporting equipment, teaching or better main courses? Just give them a choice of fruit only - they don't need desserts!!!
PS can you also do something to raise awareness about allergies, particularly coeliac. Food intolerances are epidemic and obviously linked to crappy food. ie there is 6 times the amount of gluten in bread these days compared to the old days, no wonder intolerances etc are on the rise. All because of big business.

Re: Save our School food
Hi, Jamie and Happy New Year. I'm a big fan mainly of your ideas. I think that not only you are passionate about food but you are determined to pass it on to others, too.
I watched your episode about school breakfast here in my country, Greece and I followed all the disscussion in your forum. Being Greek, I found completely unthinkable the fact tha one should "load" themselves with totally useless ingredients, first thing in the morning. Breakfast should be full with nourishing proteins, vitamins and fibres to keep you going. Parents make a huge mistake when they don't realize that. I think everything starts at school because today's kids will be next generation's parents. However, if someone could actually be inside their kitchen and show them how to cook healthy would be great. I know that you did that too. That's why I 'm a big fan.I took the initiative of posting one of your recipes into my blog (fruitandcakes.com). I hope you don't mind. It is only my humble effort to let the world know my country's traditional recipes, which I believe are healthy, delicious and of low-calories because they are based mostly in vegetables and good olive oil.
PS Thank you so much for coming to Greece and promoting our recipes without ruinning them with touristic tricks.
God bless.

Re: Save our School food
Good luck Jamie, unfortunately I think you're going to need it.
We are in a very fortunate position in Finland. Here there is no such thing as bringing a packed lunch. All school children have a free hot lunch at school, normally alongside their teachers. There isn't a choice of meal, but there is always some type of protien, carbs and veg, and normally there is a salad served as well. The children have a choice between water and milk to drink, and very rarely is there a desert, although they often have fruit. All of the children are encouraged to eat at least a little of everything, and they happily cater to special dietary needs. As such when we have my children's friends here they seem much happier to eat whatever you serve them.

Re: Save our School food
Dear Mr Oliver,
my name is Denis Siljak and I work with World Vision International in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This country has suffered war in last decade, resulting with number of unsolved issues even today. One of the issues, as you might imagine, is nutrition for pre-school and school children, schools offering unhealthy junk food. From WVI BiH research we learn that 20% of school children suffer from obesity. So we decided to do something about it! We initiated advocacy campaign directed to national level authorities in order to change something. And we succeeded! With inclusion of Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health, nutrition experts, paediatricians, etc� we are in the process of development of pre-school and school children nutrition standards. This document will be adopted by government and obligatory for all pre-school institutions and schools in country. We expect to finalize and have document adopted by the end of this year.
Having in mind your contribution and achievements through campaigns in England, achievements that led to change of nutrition in schools, WVI BiH would like to offer you possibility for cooperation and kindly ask for support to this process.
I would love to send you an e-mail with more details on this process, but unfortunately I couldn't find your e-mail anywhere. And I would like to avoid discussion on it on public forum like this.
Would it be possible to contact you directly through e-mail? I would appreciate your answer to denis_siljak(at)wvi.org
Best regards,
Denis Siljak - World Vision International in BiH, Project Manager

Re: Save our School food
I had a thought. A guy on Ted talks called Rory Sutherland talks about behavioral economics and marketing. He says you don't have to persuade people to see your point of view you just have to change their frame of reference. Take parallel currency and the boots advantage card angle. What kid could resist double points for healthier food?

Re: Save our School food
I'm starting to get very worried with the food in school at the moment and I think that we all need to take further action. I am starting to dig deeper and my research shows that the greatest problems we are dealing with are additives. The lower the quality food, the more chemicals are pumped into it. The body doesn't evaluate chemicals as food and the digestive system rejects them; only to leave them build up inside which causes short and long term problems. The short term issues are lack of concentration, frustration and stomach pains which is not good if you are at school. I will be providing evidence that one of the long term effects is type 2 diabetes. This is easily avoided by eating food without chemicals and it can be treated (unknown to doctors) with a strict diet programme and other non NHS accepted "alternative" techniques.
Your comments would be appreciated, but there will be much more of this in my future posts.
Love to all,
