We see who the left fears now.
This, and I'm also going to assume he is pro-Israel, since trackfan and CT are together in this thread.
Those aren't sufficient grounds to block a nominee. And why would spending cuts be so appalling to a Tea Party conservative?
I suppose you were offended by this Hagel quote: "I'm not an Israeli senator. I'm a United States senator."
Didn't hear it or read about it. Not offended by it. My comment was solely directed at the "sides" specifically in this thread.
There is one main issue on which you and CT agree, and even when the thread is not directly about it, when you two are in agreement, I am sure the basis is Israel. Nothing personal, just pointing out the predictability and the pointlessness of bashing Cruz for anything other than the reason why you really dislike him.
What do you think of Cruz' penchant for asking do-you-still-beat-your-wife type questions and deliberately editing a video of a Hagel interview in a dishonest way in order to mislead people about Hagel's views?
There is one main issue on which you and CT agree, and even when the thread is not directly about it,

ABOUT DAMN TIME there is a fighter using the progressives' own tactics on them. You have to fight dirty bastards with dirty techniques. It's fair for the left/progressives to slander/parse/propagandize, so let's GO CRUZ !!!
Don't know if Cruz is an alcoholic or a homosexual but he is an idiot demagogue.
Whether you disagree with Cruz or not, the idea of a professional TV commentator drawing comparisons to McCarthy, Hitler or Satan is intellectually lazy.
a Vietnam veterans patriotism by accusing him of taking money from extremist.
, but its also lazy to question a Vietnam veterans patriotism
accusing him of taking money from extremist.
The support for Hagel was offered by former Sens. John Warner (R-Va.) and Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), both onetime Armed Services Committee chairmen. The cheap shot slander of war hero Hagel was offered by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whose service in the Senate is measured in days, not decades, and who was properly reprimanded directly by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and indirectly by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who vouched for the intense patriotism of Hagel.
The Senate Armed Services Committee has a long and proud tradition of bipartisan statesmanship that was violated by the Tea Party freshman senator who tried to smear a war hero who not only served his country with courage but also has battled for veterans and military families in Texas and nationally for a generation. . . . .
In Texas, veteran voters know that Hagel is enthusiastically supported by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and groups speaking for veterans of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Presumably while Hagel was battling as a decorated war hero and fighting for all living veterans, Cruz was being cheered at Tea Party seminars and eating popcorn at war movies.
Cruz's performance at Armed Services was disgraceful and appalling. He violated the proud tradition of a great bipartisan committee and did no service to the countless veterans and war heroes of Texas and the nation who know that Hagel is a great friend and member of the band of brothers and sisters who serve Texas and America with valor.
So, it's impossible for a Vietnam vet to take money from extremists? Really?
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whose service in the Senate is measured in days, not decades
He violated the proud tradition of a great bipartisan committee

Reviews of this property
A very nice, clean apartment with well serviced pool. Roula was very helpful and it was great to have the sheets and towels changed and the apartment cleaned mid-stay. It would have been helpful to have some information about the local amenities, such as the location of the bakery, bank, where to buy bus tickets and bus timetable, leaflets about the surrounding area, etc.
Blazis House and owner Nicholas with his wife and housekeeper Mrs Roula has an excellent nice place and they were very helpfull and friendly. Than You very much You all. Grand children were with us and the enjoy a lot. Almyrida-village was also surprisingly nice, many good tavernas, beach was also very suitable for children. It was a great pleasure to relax one week at Blazis House. We have still one lemon from Your lemon tree. We will have Your lemon tomorrow when celebrating Midsummer eve at home. Greatings to You. Hannele and Harri from Kuopio, Finland.
I was with friends at the home of Nicholas in May 2015. We are very pleased with the holiday. Description of the apartment we stayed in was consistent with the facts. The owner quickly responded to those questions by e-mail. Taking care of the house Mrs. Roula was very friendly and helpful. Swimming in front of the house pure and priceless during hot days. The house itself is located close to the sea about 200m. Near the shop, bakery. We would recommend Wojtek (age 45)
Byłem z przyjaciółmi w domu Nicholasa w maju 2015r. Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z tych wczasów. Opis apartamentu, w którym mieszkaliśmy był zgodny ze stanem faktycznym. Właściciel bardzo szybko odpowiadał mailowo na zadawane pytania. Opiekująca się domem Pani Roula była bardzo miła i pomocna. Basen przed domem czysty i bezcenny podczas upalnych dni. Sam dom położony blisko od morza około 200m. W pobliżu sklep, piekarnia. Serdecznie polecam Wojtek (lat 45)
Excellent apartment! Nicely furnished and clean. Lovely pool. The apartment was equipped with all good. One concern you personally I find the utensils, some more small pot with more cutlery etc. It was all counted off exactly 4personen. Despite the fact that I would be going so again!
Prima appartement! Netjes bemeubeld en schoon. Heerlijk zwembad. Het appartement was van alles goed voorzien. Een aandachtspunt je vind ik persoonlijk het keukengerei, wat meer kleine kookpot ten, meer bestek etc. Dat was allemaal precies op 4personen af geteld. Ondanks dat zou ik er zo weer naar toe gaan!
I stayed in the larger two bedroom apartment with my wife and two sons in August 2013. The apartment was fantastic, ideal size, extremely well maintained and very clean, the pool was also great for our children, and again all very well maintained which was good. The location is very convenient, just a couple of minutes walk from the beach, restaurants & shops. Booking this apartment made our first visit to Crete very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it.

Perfect Holiday!
Terrific location in the middle of beutiful Almerida. The hotel and the rooms were really clean and nice, the pool were shining clean! The personal were really helpful and friendly. The best hotel in Almerida!! :-)
Thank you for a wonderful week!
/Regards Thomas with family
The apartment is fantastic. We stayed as a family of 5 in the Easter holidays at the beginning of April. The apartment was spotlessly clean and everything you needed was provided. The hosts were extremely friendly and did everything they could to ensure we had a great time, including being flexible in meeting us after at 10 pm on arrival due to flight times, providing advice about places to visit, checking we didn't need anything and regularly emptying bins etc. The swimming pool was in operation which was a great bonus at this time of year. I used it daily and although it was too cold to play in, it was ok for some serious swimming. The apartment is really well designed with two balconies to catch the morning and evening sun. A very short walk to the beach and some excellent family restaurants. We can not recommend this apartment to others enough. Thanks to our hosts for a great holiday!
Hello Nicholas, we had an fantastisch vacation in Almerida, Blazis House. It was a very nice appartment and also the aria arround. Very friendly people avery where and we had a very nice contact whit your housekeeper. We are for sure coming back! Thanks.
The accommodation looked fine. We were received by Ms. Roula, house keeper Nicholas, taking us by mail of this was informed. We ourselves have not seen Nicholas.
The signage to the property was very unclear and poor. The added card in the mail from Wimdu.
We assumed that it was on the outskirts of city of Chania. But it was the village Arymido far outside Chania. Thanks to helpful locals we found it.
De accomodatie zag er prima uit. We zijn ontvangen door mevr. Roula, house keeper van Nicholas, die ons per mail hiervan op de hoogte stelde. Zelf hebben we Nicholas niet gezien.
De bewegwijzering naar de accommodatie was erg onduidelijk en slecht. Ook het toegevoegde kaart bij de mail van Wimdu.
Wij gingen ervan uit dat het aan de rand van stad Chania lag. Maar het was het dorpje Arymido ver buiten Chania. Dankzij behulpzame bevolking hebben we het gevonden.
Great apartment with a lovely pool. Definitely recommended! In the village Almeryda you can eat at t cozy restaurant Makis.
Geweldig appartement met een heerlijk zwembad. Zeker aan te raden! In het dorp Almeryda kun je heerlijk eten bij t gezellige restaurant Makis.

Turntable Talk with Summer: Interview with Vice
Playmate Summer Altice talks to Vice about the hottest girls in the world, his favorite gigs and what it's like being a DJ.
When I was 19, I went out in L.A. for the first time and wandered into a club, and I was awestruck. There I was, listening to this amazing DJ…I remember being blown away. So I walked straight up to the DJ booth and asked "What's your name?" and he said "I'm Vice, what's your name?"
We became fast friends, and 13 years later he is still one of my all-time favorite DJs and a very dear friend. His talent constantly amazes me, and he pushes himself to always grow and get better. He is an inspiration and a mentor. He gives me advice and has always supported me, especially in my career as a DJ. He is one of the most sought-after DJs in the world and has taken Vegas by storm with his residencies at Tao and Lavo and, most recently, Marquee. I sat down with Vice recently to talk about where it all started: the turntables…
Follow Vice @DJVICE
Altice: When did you start deejaying?
Vice: I got my first pair of turntables in 1992. But in 1990 at about 10 years old, I didn't know what deejaying really was. I had just seen a wedding DJ play at a family function and I couldn't grasp how the music was blending together, but I knew it struck such a nerve within me and I was like "Whoa, this is something I've gotta learn." Like a little kid seeing Jordan dunk for the first time.
When I was 12, that's when I figured out this is what you need to blend these records together. It was a shitty belt-drive turntable and a mixer that had a fart noise effect or something.
Altice: So you are a self-taught DJ then?
Vice: Kinda. I had a family friend that had the same setup and I used to watch him and mimic him. At the time there was no internet to go watch a deejay tutorial, so a lot of it was hours and hours of just making up whatever you thought sounded good.
Altice: What is your favorite go-to equipment?
Vice: Technics 1200s and a Pioneer DJM-900 with Serato. I also use Novation Dicers.
But I'm fighting myself with switching over to CDJs. Nothing feels like turntables to me. But at certain gigs, being one of the last ones standing using turntables, no one takes care of the equipment. Overseas, like in Asia especially, they are so advanced that I have to use out-of-work turntables since no one uses them there anymore. It's more just me fighting with technology, but if you don't keep up with it you can get left behind.
Altice: What is your favorite style of deejaying? I know you are a DJ who can do it all.
Vice: My favorite style is the golden era of hip-hop. Like 1992, around when I started, 'cause it gives me flashbacks of being a young DJ and picking up records for the first time and saving up to buy my records. Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth. That to me is the golden era of hip-hop. It's also hard to teach the new generation what that era was like, so the only way I can do it is by sandwiching them in my set with what this generation knows.
Altice: Do you feel the advances in technology are a positive or a negative when it comes to the art of deejaying? Some would say that now too many people think they can be a DJ.
Vice: I think it's a positive thing because it's only bringing more attention to the art, and when people really pay attention to art, it gives them a higher expectation level. For someone that has been doing this for so long, that's where we get to shine. So a lot of celebrity DJs that come out and are new to this, it's great, 'cause it's bringing more people to see what this art is about. They say "I'm into this, now I want something more," and that's where they have to keep searching for people like me and Q-Tip, who have been doing it for so long and they really see what has taken 10 to 20 years to perfect.
This is something you can't pick up and learn overnight. You have to constantly keep bettering yourself and growing as a DJ.
Altice: You were married last December to a wonderful woman, and friend of mine. Do you find it hard to deal with the hectic late-night schedules DJs keep?
Vice: Yes, you've got to have someone in your life that can keep up with your schedule because there is no schedule. "Late nights and early flights" is what basically our lives are run by. So when you find that key partner that understands that your life isn't nine to five then you're on a good track.
Altice: How much has Serato changed the deejay game?
Vice: So much, it has changed things. I used to have to plan two hours before a gig by going through what records to bring. And now it's all there on the computer, no more crating records around.
Altice: What advice would you give to a young DJ?
Vice: Understand the art and understand who you are as a brand. When you know who you are and what message you want to give the crowd through your music, then you're already on the right path to become a successful DJ.
Altice: Where are the hottest girls in the world?
Vice: In the States it's Miami, and outside of the States it's Hong Kong.
Altice: What are your favorite recent gigs?
Vice: EDC last year in Vegas was huge for me, and I'm a huge fan of playing in Japan, especially at this club, Vanity (Lounge). I just love how well they know their music. They have such high expectations, which makes you work harder.
Altice: What is your favorite song out right now?
Vice: The Wanted's "Glad You Came" and my new remix of Rhianna's "Where Have You Been."
Altice: In the world of deejaying, SKAM Artists have really taken over as the go-to premier club DJs. How does it feel to have been a pioneer of that movement?
Vice: The SKAM Artist movement was so big because it was a lane that we created in the industry where you have every type of music mixed into one, properly. But in the end it was really me learning from DJ AM and his ways, and following in his footsteps. And the best lesson I ever learned from him was to continually put the work in.
Vice will continue to awe crowds and amaze anyone within earshot. Trust me, if you haven't been to a show he's played, you are missing out. To find out his schedule and keep up with him, go to www.djvice.com. You won't be disappointed; I never have.

Mystics 52
Fever 45
A previously unheard of defensive pairing - one a genuine rookie, the other a familiar face with a new name - helped the Northern Mystics fend off their first Australian challenger of the year in Waitakere tonight.
The Auckland side overran Norma Plummer's West Coast Fever 52-45 in a tense, and at times heated, battle.
With the Fever boasting two big scoring threats in Australian internationals Catherine Cox and Caitlin Bassett, it was always going to take a huge defensive effort to ward off the Fever.
Step up Jess Moulds, who, in her third ANZ Championship start, was handed the tough task of matching up on Bassett, and Anna Harrison, nee Scarlett, kept an eye on Cox.
The Silver Fern wed long-time partner Craig Harrison in her home town of Karamea on the South Island's West Coast on Friday, arriving back in Auckland in tonight's game.
The pair did an impressive job of containing the much-vaunted Fever shooting circle, limiting Cox to just six goals from 11 attempts in 60 minutes of netball, to pile the pressure on Bassett.
The Mystics coaching team, which was bulked up by the inclusion of former Australian shooter Megan Dehn - who is serving as a technical advisor for the Australian clashes - had obviously done their home work on the Perth team.
With the Fever boasting two big scoring threats in Bassett and Cox, the Mystics had a clear strategy of cutting off the supply chain in to the shooting circle by applying relentless pressure right through the court.
The home side employed a zone defence, pushing the Fever players wide to isolate them on the fringes.
As a result the Fever never looked comfortable moving the ball through court, pushing passes wide.
When the ball did get in to the circle, Harrison and Moulds did a superb job of confusing the space for the feeders, ensuring the Cox and Bassett partnership could never gel.
Typically, former Diamonds coach Norma Plummer was not shy about voicing her displeasure over the officiating, describing the umpiring as "crap".
Much the same sentiments then that the Kiwi coaches feel when they cross the ditch.
Mystics coach Debbie Fuller said: "I think whenever your team is getting heavily penalised, you have to adjust. You should know by the end of the first quarter what the umpires are calling and the players on court need to be able to play different styles and adjust."
The Mystics made an impressive start to the match, leaping out to a 6-0 lead after as many minutes, before the Fever were able to settle in to some semblance of rhythm to fight their way back to trail by four at the first break.
The home side stretched it out again to lead 25-17 at halftime, before the now familiar third quarter fightback from Plummer's sides came.
With only a small air pocket of breathing space heading in to the final turn, the Mystics coaching staff again made a series of bold substitution decisions.
They opted to make changes to all thirds of the court.
Charlotte Kight was introduced at goal defence, with Harrison moving back to goal keep, English import Jade Clarke came on at centre, forcing George in to wing attack, and Grace Rasmussen out to goal attack, with Maria Tutaia watching the final quarter from the bench.
The changes brought more pace to the attack, with George and Clarke dynamic through the middle, while Rasmussen opened up more space for Latu under the goal. Latu finished with a fine 31 goals from 32 attempts, while Bassett managed 39 from her 41 shots.

A friendship that has a potential to be a fling.
JD, you should totally start a flingship with Eliot. She's like your best friend and she's totally banging material.
by Eliot Reed November 27, 2011
A flingship is a platonic friendship, usually of two females, characterized by the same parabolic curve of interest and intensity that defines classic romantic flings. Flingship participants spend increasing time together, followed by an intense crescendo, then an abrupt (and often painful) fizzle. Flingships, which are frequently born of the common interests of work or school, are common in big cities with high transplant rates, such as San Diego and NYC.
Erin and Jamie meet in physics class, where they become fast friends, drawing naked pictures of the professor and going to the coffee cart during breaks. They begin to go to happy hours together, text during work and introduce each other to friends and family; they are almost considered best friends...and then suddenly, when the term ends, they cease spending time together almost entirely.
Flingships also terminate when said "friend" sleeps with other friend's significant other.

Characterizing atmospheres beyond our Solar System is now within our reach
Kevin Heng
The first studies of exoplanetary atmospheres were performed on a class of objects known as hot Jupiters. A combination of the transit technique with a measurement of the radial velocity (which is the gravitational wobble of a star as its exoplanet orbits around their common center of mass) yields the radius and mass of a hot Jupiter, respectively, and reveals that they are similar in these aspects to our own Jupiter. The startling difference is that hot Jupiters are found about a hundred times closer to their parent stars than Jupiter, which raises their surface temperatures to between 1,000 and 3,000 degrees Kelvin. With spatial separations of a hundredth to a tenth of an astronomical unit (the average distance from the Earth to the Sun) from their stars, the discovery of hot Jupiters caught the astronomical community by surprise, because their existence was neither predicted from astrophysical theory nor subsequently explained by it.
Their large sizes render hot Jupiters easier to observe and thus the most obvious laboratories for extrasolar atmospheric studies. Furthermore, the belief that their atmospheres are dominated by molecular hydrogen—which is consistent with the densities of the exoplanets, inferred from the astronomical observations to be about 1 gram per cubic centimeter—offers some hope that the atmospheres are primary, reflecting the composition of the primordial nebulae from which they formed, rather than secondary and reprocessed by geological mechanisms (such as on Earth).
Given enough time, an exoplanet's position and rotation tend to relax toward a state of minimum energy—a spin synchronized state, such that one hemisphere of the exoplanet always faces its parent star with the other hemisphere shrouded in perpetual darkness. The characteristic time scale associated with this process is typically 1,000 times less than the age of the star. (As a more familiar example, the Moon is in a spin synchronized state with respect to the Earth, notwithstanding its tiny rotational corrections called librations.) In other words, one hot Jovian day is equal to one hot Jovian year. The unfamiliar configuration of permanent day- and night-side hemispheres on hot Jupiters opens up an unexplored regime of atmospheric circulation with no precedent in the Solar System and motivates theoreticians to test their tools in unfamiliar territory.
Understanding these hot Jovian atmospheres requires clarifying the complex interplay between irradiation, atmospheric dynamics, chemistry and possibly magnetic fields. On the most irradiated hot Jupiters, the exoplanet viewed from the poles resembles a sphere painted half white and half black—the phase curve is a sinusoidal function that peaks at secondary eclipse and becomes dimmest at transit. Any shift of this peak from its reference point at secondary eclipse may be interpreted as being due to the presence of horizontal winds in the atmosphere, which act to transport heat from the day- to the night-side hemisphere. This angular shift was first measured for an exoplanet, the hot Jupiter HD 189733b, by Heather Knutson of the California Institute of Technology and her collaborators, who reported a peak shift of about 30 degrees east—in the direction of rotation. This angular shift was also measured for the hot Jupiters Ups And b (by Ian Crossfield of the University of California at Los Angeles and his collaborators) and WASP-12b (by Cowan and his collaborators).
Other astronomers continue to push the envelope. Ignas Snellen of Leiden University and his colleagues, using the ground-based European Very Large Telescope (VLT), used a technique called absorption spectroscopy to measure the speed of the horizontal winds on the hot Jupiter HD 209458b. The technique compares the relative size of the exoplanet across a range of wavelengths. At a wavelength where an atmospheric atom or molecule is the most absorbent, the exoplanet appears larger. By monitoring the shift in wavelength of an absorption line of carbon monoxide, the group determined that HD 209458b's winds clock in at about 2 kilometers per second, roughly 100 times faster than those on Earth. More attempts to measure atmospheric wind speeds are in the works, and these measurements remain at the cutting—if not the bleeding—edge of what astronomers can achieve.

text: Monroe (s&t $14 million/year), Bynum, and Jennings for Rondo, Gerald Wallace, Chris Johnson (sign-and-trade), and Nets' 2016 first. Detroit: Rondo/Johnson/Singler/Smith/Drummond Boston: Jennings/Bradley/Green/Bass/Monroe Boston immediately hugely upgrades their center position and goes a little sideways with Rondo for Jennings, while dumping Gerald Wallace's contract. Bradley and Green are competent enough of defenders to complement Jennings' sub-par defense, and the Celtics can add two lottery picks this year to that group. Detroit gets trades a terrible shooter for one that's almost as bad but less likely to actually shoot. They pair Rondo with Smith, hopefully increasing the happiness (and effort level) of both. They get a better defender with Rondo, a 3-and-d player in Johnson, and a pick in exchange for taking on the (nearly) useless Gerald Wallace and giving up a franchise center. I think this trade works for both teams. Thoughts?

Jeremy Davis and his Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra will take the stage at 7 p.m. Sunday at Burton Coliseum for a concert that is part of the McNeese's Banners Cultural Series. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, April 04, 2013 11:35 AM
By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
"We're not your grandfather's big band," Jeremy Davis, band leader and tenor sax player, said.
Jeremy Davis and his Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra will play April 7 as part of McNeese State University's Banner Cultural Series.
Sunday's performance will feature Davis on tenor sax, lead singer Clay Johnson and an 18-piece band playing a show that Davis describes as The Rat Pack meets "The Dean Martin Variety Show" with a touch of "A Prairie Home Companion."
Davis said the group, which for the past several months has been on a tour that has taken them across the nation, will play 15 performances in their home state of Louisiana in the coming weeks.
"Our show boils down to a simple combination of loving what we do, loving each other and mixing it up with original arrangements of great classics. We play a mixture of several different genres of music but it's mostly centered on the Great American Sound Book, those beautiful, classic songs that have a great lyric with a beautiful melody that always seem to be in style. This music is great because it's popular with everyone, including people in their 20s to people in their 90s, it just has mass appeal," he said.
Davis said that the orchestra's performances are perfect for fans of Big Band music, but promises that the group tries to include something for everyone to enjoy.
"We try not to do just a concert, and instead do a show. So we play Sinatra but we also throw in some Johnny Cash and some Ray Charles songs, we'll even do a few Elvis songs if we're feeling frisky. We do everything with our tongues in cheek," he said.

text: Does anyone have experience or recommendations with pollinating radishes? I have been approached by a farmer who is planning to plant 100 acres of radishes. The radishes are to produce seed which is then to be sold and used as cover crop plantings. This is their second year planting radishes with no bees last year. I don't really care to get into pollinating, but am at least a little curious and possibly interested in this venture. The radish crop will be next to a lot of CRP containing alfalfa & some other blooming plantings in it. Along with the CRP is some possibility of acres of wild yellow clover hopefully also nearby. I understand the radishes' bloom period is mid-May to early June. June is about when our clover gets deeply started blooming in this region, which is why I thought this may possibly be a good mix for me to experiment with. Any suggestions? How many acres/hive or hives/acre does this crop require? Thanks- Greg

I have about 80k miles on the truck, a few months ago one of the tpms was reading 40-90psi. It was just jumping through that range constantly. Now it doesn't even read just has the "--" and I have the "Service Tire Pressure System" error all the time on my instrument panel. I called my local tire shop and they said that the battery probably went dead in the sensor. I have read that those batteries usually last for 10 years, has anyone had an issue like this? The TPMS is a royal pain anyway, I just hate seeing the light and the message whenever I drive.

(Concord Coalition Executive Director Robert) Bixby said the current U.S. fiscal policy is unsustainable. He said getting the nation's financial house in order will require charting a politically sensitive course that will include revamping major entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security; cutting overall spending; controlling health care costs; and reforming taxes to raise revenue.
"We need some leadership from our leaders," he noted. "The public is ready to make these choices if they are dealt with honestly and they have the facts. The public is willing. What is difficult to get through is the political chaff, the political fire that tends to polarize rather than bring people to consensus."
Bixby said that Congress and the president will be facing a "self-inflicted crisis" of sorts in January when some tax increases and spending reductions will automatically take effect – a situation that will pose an opportunity to deal with a long-term package aimed at correcting the nation's fiscal woes over a period of years. If they fail to act this time, he said, the inaction could trigger "a very negative market reaction" from a business community gripped by economic uncertainty and increasingly alarmed by the prospect of a fiscal cliff.

This is a good move by Gilbride, but Harbaugh is absolutely right about this being a plea to the officials. Bad move by Jim because he just made this story even more visible by acknowledging it.

I'd like to see Perry say something about how our D Line has been held all season long.........Kiwi said he has not been held so much since he was an infant LOL
Even though this is a bit "tattle taleing" for my personal tastes, Gilbride is a genius for pointing this out whether it's true or not. I just hope the game doesn't come down to a call on Justin Smith or we won't hear the end of it lol.

No, this doesn't mean that John Tomase is leaving the Herald. But according to Herald sports editor Hank Hryniewicz, Tomase probably is leaving the Patriots beat.
"That posting is for Rob Bradford's spot," Hryniewicz tells the Phoenix. "I reserve the right to change my mind, of course, but the best guy I see out there to replace Rob on the Red Sox beat is John Tomase.
"John Tomase's still a valued member of the staff here," he adds. "We're just trying to use our people in the best possible place, where they can be more effective. And looking at what's out there, it's most reasonable to replace Bradford with someone of John Tomase's caliber."
If covering the Sox is your dream job, this might seem unfair: Tomase breaks a huge story that turns out to be factually false, then gets rewarded with what might be an even better job. Still, it strikes as a smart move on the Herald's part. His big gaffe notwithstanding, Tomase is a talent--but he wasn't going to be able to cover the Patriots effectively anymore. This way, Tomase gets something of a fresh start. And he's rewarded for his willingness to serve as the Herald's Spygate scapegoat, rather than blaming his editors or the Herald's editorial processes for the story in question.
Best of luck to Tomase in his new gig. Between his unfortunate claim to fame and the general rabidity of Red Sox fans, he'll need it.

Bush Inconsistencies on Policy Matters
Original post made by A Boomer, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jun 20, 2007
1. Sanctity of human life: Shrub has announced he will again veto a stem cell research bill that would use human embryos that otherwise would be destroyed, as he states that it crosses the ethical boundaries of dealing with human life. He gets an "F" since his administration appears to put limited value on human lives such as our injured armed forces members, who are getting poor medical care while still in the service and once into the VA system, as has been widely reported. The conditions in New Orleans, and the indifference the Shrub administration has exhibited to the human suffering still going on there is another reason for the F" grade.
2. Irresponsible government spending: Shrub has suddenly gotten indignant about the wasteful ways of Congress, now that the Democrats are back in power, and has the veto pen out again to make sure the federal budget stays under control. This is the same President conducting a multi-billion dollar war in Iraq "off the books," and who inherited a federal budget generating surpluses, and that is now showing deficits in the hundreds of billions of dollars. "F" grade, Shrub.
3. Extolling the virtues of democracy: Shrub expresses concerns about the lack of progress in Russia toward true democracy, props up the current Iraqi regime as "democratically elected,", and yet back-pedaled on supporting the Hamas party when it was democratically chosen by the Palestinians, and like virtually every other US administration, keeps quiet with the likes of China, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, among others, that have stable albeit non-democratic, regimes. Appears reliability is more important than democracy, which is a defensible "real politik" position, but much more difficult to reconcile with Shrub's simplistic belief that there is no problem that cannot be solved by a democratically chosen regime. F's in Political Science, History, Organizational Management, and Rhetoric.
I am among those that believe this is one of the worst administrations this country has ever had, so I come from that bias. Nevertheless, these are three very current examples of inconsistent, poorly thought out positions that are rife with contradictions and make it difficult, if not impossible for countries, states and private organizations to understand where the foundation in policy is. Agree or disagree with the Shrub Administration, on the three examples above, we all have the opportunity to do both, whatever position we take.
What was that about Kerry being a flip-flopper? Maybe cynicism is the only prevailing policy on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue these days.

This entire Bush presidency is quite simply the biggest con that's ever been played on the American people. Everything, from 9/11 to Iraq, has been carefully orchestrated to put money, money, money in the pockets of Bush/Cheney's cronies at Halliburton, et al. Think about it - the worse the war goes, the better: the more weaponry to be bought from defense contractors, the more reconstruction for Halliburton to get paid for... it never ends. It's a huge scam - Bush is NOT religious (none of them are, it's simply a very effective PR tool to get the Jaysus-lovin' masses behind them); they don't care about our country's security (or our ports would have been secured years ago); their only concern in the middle East is to destabilize it so they can send Halliburton in to "rebuild" on the taxpayer's dime. It's just a con game. The repercussions of this administration's greed, are the unfortunate side effects that we're all going to have to live with. I blame the yahoos that voted for these criminals - twice - because they needed a big, patriarchal daddy to protect them from the scary "terrists", causing the rest of us to be scammed along with those who deserved it. We are all going to be paying for

There is no evidence - no evidence whatsoever - that Bush has ever had an important thought or independently made an important decision in his entire life.
There is no evidence - none - that Bush has ever been in charge of anything in his entire life.
There is no evidence --it simply does not exist - that Bush has successfully accomplished anything - except for petty criminal acts - on his own ever in his entire life.
His religious "beliefs" are demonstrably fraudulent and obviously only exist because his owners told him to pretend to have them.
He does not for one second think that some people are good and some are evil, only that some are rich and the rest are worthless.
He did not steal two elections (his owners did that), he does not run this country (his owners do that), and he absolutely does not give one second's thought to anything approaching theology, ideology or philosophy, instead only saying what his owners put into his mouth.

Bush is a fascist. Period. End of story. He won't be happy until half the world is dead or on a water board at Guantanamo.
I am so disappointed when some naive souls apply ideology to his crimes give him and his bunch the benefit of the doubt about anything. They don't believe anything they say.They don't believe in anything, period. They don't care about evil, they don't care about good, they don't care about democracy. They want to get their way, which means maintaining an American empire and making their friends incredibly rich. There really isn't much more to say.

A great debate is taking place between those who believe that Bush is a true believer and those who think he's faking it. Sort of like the 400 year issue of the sanity/insanity of Hamlet.
I would lean toward the believer bit because, as a teacher, I've seen people who profess to be Christian say the most obnoxious, nasty things about those who don't fit their worldview. These people have ZERO compassion for their fellow man. On the other hand, perhaps their professed "faith" is merely a shield for psychopathic behavior.

Besides the Good vs. Evil mentality employed by this administration, there is one other major factor that has influenced Bush's decision-making policies and the current political climate from day one. It's a factor that was brought up regularly before 9/11, but was more or less put to the side after the attacks out of respect to the Commander-In-Chief or fear of being called unpatriotic.
That important factor is that President Bush is a fool.
I use the word "fool" instead of "idiot" or "moron" or "dummy" or any of the other derogatory words put on Bush because he is not mentally retarded. Throughout his 'career', however, he has shown himself to be profoundly lacking in understanding about the world or prudent decision-making. The most powerful man on Earth, leader of a nation of 300 million, has zero intellectual curiosity about anything, needs a team of baby-sitters to get him through public appearances, and seems to have next to zero understanding of the national laws and traditions his lackeys are ripping to shreds.
A zealot running the country is bad. An ignorant zealot is poison. That is why WHOEVER is next elected President, it will be an improvement over what we have now.

Never fall in love, or in hate with a politician. It blinds you to policy. Sometines I tire of Fisking the same old bullet points long proven invalid. Everything above is obscene.

Agreed, Walter. Don't waste your time. They just want a place to bash Bush and agree with each other.
We have been through all this at least 4 times, and still they insist on repeating the same stuff and thinking that Bush is "stupid"...yet I defy any of them to get through his education with his grades, and then rise to President, brilliantly fooling most of the people, not just once, but twice.
Oh I forgot, the majority of Americans are stupid so that proves nothing.

I hope Shrub takes Wally on a supersonic IFR touch and go.
He's not stupid. His everyman act just covers up his real background and improves his "sincerity" and "likability." It worked in 2000 with the media.

Ladies, gentlemen, and the otherwise affiliated … it can finally be revealed: Yes, there is a trade paperback edition of Clementine! Or rather, there's about to be. No, I swear. It's true! You see, sometime later this month Subterranean Press will unveil a major revamp of its website – and in the wake of that launch, you'll be able to nab a copy of this slim steampunk adventure for your very own.
Seriously, I'm relieved. I get a lot of hate mail from people who want to beat me with a stick for pricing the Clementine hardback at such ridiculous levels … which is a hoot, because I've done no such thing. My publisher did no such thing. The book sold out, that's all – and collectors be collectin'. There's jack squat I can do about it …
… except badger my publisher for a cheaper, more plentiful paperback edition, yay!
So here's the deal – you can wait for the Subterranean launch and order from their website at that time, or you can essentially preorder over on Amazon.com via this link right here. And then be just a tad bit patient.
That, my friends, is all there is to it!

Movie Review: Potiche
Catherine Deneuve plays a trophy wife who takes over the family business with much success in this French-Belgium comedy.
Director: François Ozon Rating: R Studio: Mandarin Cinema
International film icon Catherine Deneuve is really something to see as the centerpiece of the new French comedy Potiche. Set in the late 1970s, the droll, upbeat and gently satirical movie casts the elegant Deneuve as the wealthy, apparently submissive, poetry-writing wife to the perpetually cranky owner (Fabrice Luchini) of an umbrella factory whose workers are in anti-management turmoil. When a well-justified labor strike gets her husband's heart condition acting up, the heroine takes the reins of the business, bringing in her pretty, conservative daughter (Judith Godrèche) and her artsy, freewheeling son (Jérémie Renier) and upsetting the balance of family power.
With a full barrage of secret mistresses, sexual intrigue and light political satire, the plot's complications ensue, reverses itself and then becomes even more twisty. It's when Denueve's character tries to win the hearts and minds of the factory workers and enlists the aid of the mayor (Gérard Depardieu) that the real fun emerges.
Loosely based on a 1980 French farce, the breezy, leisurely paced movie, directed by François Ozon (8 Women; Swimming Pool), is big on 1970s trappings—split screens, bright colors and deliberately broad performances. Ozon even paces the movie so that actors pause for comedy punch lines exactly the way they might do on stage. If you can get into the gently anarchic, good spiritedness of the thing, you'll probably have a good time. No matter what, though, Deneueve as the "potiche" of the title—that is, a pretty, useless ornament or trophy wife—is fascinating and commanding as she slowly reveals the steel spine beneath her character's exterior gloss.
The happy accident of so much of the action being set in and around the umbrella factory (which comes directly from the play) also makes for a warm nod to one of a very young Deneuve's biggest international successes, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The nostalgic, witty scenes with Depardieu, especially one set in a red-lit disco, are especially warm and funny. You may O.D. on all the Gallic charm, but what a way to go.

Sponsored Tingles: Dr. Oetker Savoury Moment
The end of December is here so it's time for another Dr. Oetker Savoury moment in gossip. This month Dr. Oetker is giving away a $20,000 Kitchen Makeover plus 8 secondary prizes from Whirlpool. Click here to enter. And click here for all our previous Dr. Oetker Savoury moments this year.
They gave us a nibble of their bits to end the year – at the very well attended UNICEF Ball where Jerry Weintraub was honoured. George Clooney was there with the Italian Queen, as was The Greatest Ali, and the Pitts had their moment with him photographed – these pictures circled the Globe, a powerful Sit DOWN to Ian Halperin and that Brangelina book which, of course, was the reason for this Pitt offensive.
You've seen the images, yes, but have you seen the video?
The video is the Savoury Moment. Seated at their table, Brad kisses Angie very, very sweetly. It's played over and over again in this clip. And you can't help but watch it over and over again. I love where his hand is place on the back of her head. It's the perfect positioning. I love their familiarity. I love how long he presses against her forehead. I love how he goes back, like it tasted so good. Yeah, when they're on, they are untouchable.

The Inland Taipan, Oxyuranus microlepidotus, also called the Fierce or Small-scaled Snake, is a large rich brown or olive brown snake. It has 23 rows of mid-body scales, a single anal scale and 55-70 divided subcaudal scales. It may exceed 2 metres in total length.
Inland TaipanPhotographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
The only Victorian specimens were collected near the junction of the Murray and Darling rivers in 1857. It lives in areas of cracking soils of river overflows, flood plains or on gibber plains.
Active by day, the Inland Taipan feeds on small mammals. Females lay 12-20 eggs in a clutch.
The Inland Taipan is extremely venomous, possessing the most potent venom of any snake. However, humans rarely come into contact with this snake and no one has died as a result of a bite. If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continual direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound as the venom can confirm the identification of the snake.

Hi John,
In order for us to provide you with a positive identification we would really need to see an image. Perhaps if the opportunity arises you might take a quick picture of the snake which we can then pass on to our experts for identification.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Electrons dance to a quantum beat in the Hubbard model of solid-state physics
Brian Hayes
The stage setting for the Hubbard model is the same as that of the Ising model: a simple lattice with cubic symmetry—a cartoon of a crystalline solid. But the Hubbard dancers are more acrobatic. As noted above, Hubbard electrons can jump from one lattice site to another. (The range of motion is usually limited to nearest-neighbor sites.) The electrons also interact with one another, experiencing mutual repulsion whenever two electrons land on the same site. Finally, the choreography of Hubbard electrons is subject to a special rule, the Pauli exclusion principle, a definitive element of quantum mechanics.
Think of the Pauli principle (named for the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli) as a generalization of the commonsense notion that two objects cannot be in the same place at the same time. The quantum version says that no two particles can occupy exactly the same quantum state. If two electrons have the same energy, for example, they must differ in angular momentum or some other property. On the Hubbard lattice, the exclusion principle implies that if two electrons occupy the same site, they must have opposite spins. An obvious corollary is that no site can ever accommodate more than two electrons, since at least two of them would have the same spin.
With these facts in hand, we can get a rough vision of the Hubbard model in action. Suppose the lattice is two-dimensional, like a sheet of graph paper. Some of the lattice points are occupied by electrons; some of those electrons are spin-up and the rest are spin-down. Thus a site can have any of four occupation states: no electrons, one up electron, one down electron or a pair of electrons with opposite spins. An electron can hop to any neighboring site, provided the move is allowed by the exclusion principle.
There's one more essential element to introduce: the energy of the electrons. The exclusion principle requires that electrons with the same spin have distinct energies, which means there must be a ladder of available energy levels. If all the electrons have the same spin, they will necessarily fill all the rungs of the ladder from bottom to top. However, if half the electrons are spin-up and half are spin-down, they can be packed two to a rung, lowering the average energy level. This sharing of levels means that configurations with mixed spins can be energetically favorable.
On the other hand, the presence of both up and down spins also allows pairs of electrons to occupy the same lattice site, which incurs an energy penalty because of their mutual repulsion. For each doubly occupied site, the overall energy of the system increases by an amount designated U. Thus there is a subtle competition between the cost of populating higher levels of the energy ladder and the cost of overcoming electromagnetic repulsion.
What happens when we push the Start button and let the electrons hop around on the lattice? In general, this is a very hard question, but a few "corner cases"—where some parameter is set to an extreme value—offer clues. One such parameter is the number of electrons. For a lattice of N sites, this number must lie between zero and 2N. Nothing much happens with zero electrons, of course, and it turns out the same is true with 2N electrons: All sites are filled with paired electrons, and none of the electrons can move.
Another parameter is U, the energy of electrostatic repulsion for electrons at the same lattice site. If U is zero (no repulsion at all), the spin-up and the spin-down electrons form two independent populations, each of which drifts through the lattice oblivious of the other's existence. At the opposite extreme, if U is infinite, the repulsion is so great that no site ever holds more than one electron. In this circumstance electrons can move only when there is an adjacent vacant site; if the lattice is half full (N electrons, with no vacancies), the configuration is frozen solid.
Still another parameter, whose role I have neglected so far, is temperature. At a temperature of absolute zero, the Hubbard model is compelled to adopt the configuration of lowest possible energy—the ground state. Thermal agitation at higher temperatures allows the system to escape this fate. With warming, higher-energy states come within reach. At infinite temperature all possible configurations are equally likely, and energy differences between states cease to have any influence on the behavior of the system.
As a practical matter, interest focuses not on the extreme cases but on realistic values of the parameters. Physicists would most like to know what happens when the number of electrons is at or near half-filling (one electron per site) and when the repulsion parameter U is greater than zero but far from infinite. As for temperature, it is important to identify the ground state, but we would also like to know how the behavior of the system changes as it warms up from absolute zero.

Just wondering what other small-scale beekeepers do about product liability insurance when selling only via word-of-mouth and farmer's markets?
Just wondering what other small-scale beekeepers do about product liability insurance when selling only via word-of-mouth and farmer's markets?
life is finite while knowledge is infinite. - Zhuang Zi
For a few hundred bucks it depends on how much honey ur selling.
We have found that Farm Bureau Financial Services understands what we do and have product liability (and other products) through them.
-Phil Domeier
I'm interested in this too... FBFS doesn't operate in Calif. it looks like
This ad is in the Walter T Kelley catalog " We can cover your Beekeeping Insurance needs with our special farm policy" Lani Basberg Agency,LLC. toll free 1-866-456-2572 firstname.lastname@example.com . I know nothing about it, just seen it in the catalog.
I also had never heard of this agency until today, but here is their website, specifically, their page on Beekeeping Insurance!
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Liability for beekeepers is not difficult to get. I have been in insurance for 17 years and have companies that will insure beekeeper liability. You do want to make sure that the agent you are looking at can write business in your state. The company in WTK may be able to write in Kentucky (which is part of the web address) but not in other states. That being said if you are in Kentucky and have coverage through them it is not only good just in Kentucky unless that is specified in the policy. Since I am lic. in Missouri I can only write coverage for those living or have their business address in Missouri but the coverage will go with them if they do business out of state.
Were you able to find product liability insurance for your beekeeping business? If you are making your living off of selling honey, I would strongly recommend you consider getting insurance (or at least get a quote). I can help you get a quote if you are doing business in Arizona, Texas or Nevada. If you need help finding a broker in another state, let me know too!
Any underwriters in North Carolina onboard? Thanks
Got liability insurance last week from Farm Family Insurance. The agent was familiar with the beekeeping/honey selling issues I had been concerned about. The process was fast, easy and hassle free. I think a good and knowledgeable broker helps, but Farm Family is worth while looking into.
I'm on Long Island in NY, and can stop worrying every time I sell a bunch of 1 lb. honey bottles to a farm stand for resale to retail customers.
What was the cost for the insurance?
400$ for the year. $1 mil/occurrence, $2 mil aggregate covers product liability, property damage, bodily injury.
American National and Farm family specialize in farming coverage based on exposure 1 million /2 million is around $500.00 if you also have a road side fruit stand you can also have that exposure covered .
I know I insure apiary and small farms. Lic Nevada Az and Utah Dawn firstname.lastname@example.com dawnfisler.com
Erie insurance has a product liability policy that starts around $300 and goes up depending on your annual sales for a 1 million/2 million aggregate policy.

Muv.... tomorrow Im going to give the stems on my dgd's quilt a go again using your method. I also was inspired by your tutorial on antique applique.
Muvs Method:
Fold and iron the material on the diagonal. Then cut the folded material through both thicknesses. For these stems I am cutting half an inch from the fold. Then lay the strip, still folded, on the backing material and pin in position. Have the end with the selvedge at the bottom of the stem. Then stitch one eighth of an inch from the raw edges. Next, fold the stem over and iron into place so the stitching and raw edges are covered, then stitch down the folded edge by hand. The stem will be three eighths of an inch thick. The raw edges at the top of the stem will be covered by the applique flower.
I havent had time to catch up on reading all the posts while I was away however, the pictures are worth a thousand words everyone who has posted pictures of their projects in the works. So many different processes and techniques. Let me just say WOW so much talent and beautiful fabrics everyone.


text: Is this legit? I happen to have several gallons of this stuff. I could probably scrounge up white primer and paint too, but if Spar urethane will last as long or longer than paint, Id rather use it for the natural look. Is there anything needed aside from putting it straight on? Should I soak the wood with oil or stain first? Just want a low maintenance finish.

Hey Jango Costumers,
I was wondering if there was an airbrush colour list for the blues used on Jango's Helmet. I've always noticed that everyone uses spraypaints for this part of the costume. The reason I ask is because there are so many different paints for airbrushing, and you can get smoother painting with sharper corners.
If anyone has airbrush suggestions, I'd love to hear from them! I just got a new airbrush and I'm itching to do more painting after my Boba armour.
