The Tomcat's Brain
As a 1968 graduate in electronic engineering, Raymond Holt was in a sandwich generation, caught between vacuum tubes and transistors. When he showed up for his first job, at Garrett AiResearch, the personnel manager told him he was the only one in his department who'd had a class in computer design. AiResearch had just been hired by the Grumman Corporation to design the F-14 Tomcat's central air data computer, a microprocessor that would, with data from pressure sensors, calculate and report (on cockpit displays) Mach number, altitude, and airspeed, and, accordingly, move the aircraft's control surfaces and adjust the sweep of its variable geometry wing. AiResearch had designed the McDonnell F-4 Phantom's central air data computer, but that had been electromechanical. "It had gears and cams," says Holt. "It's like a transmission on a car, except that it's chrome and gold. It was about two feet long and three feet high. When they showed it to me and said I had to make it electronic [to fit on a circuit board 40 inches square] I about freaked out."
Northrop Grumman engineer Dave Wolfe worked at Garrett AiResearch at the time, where his job was teaching Grumman technicians how the F-14's central air data computer worked. ("I saw the airplane and I was so impressed that I left [AiResearch] and joined Grumman," he says.)
"Electromechanical systems were a maintenance nightmare," says Wolfe. "You needed a very special type of artisan to repair those things — almost a watchmaker. People were looking for something to replace that system." Garrett AiResearch was the only company to submit a bid for a digital, instead of electromechanical, design, but the small, powerful processors required didn't exist.
In 1968, the integrated circuit was 10 years old. Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of Intel Corporation had independently developed methods for assembling transistors — switches that in the binary language of computers say "on" or "off" —on a single slice, or chip, of a semi-conducting metalloid, like silicon. (Kilby's work won him the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics.)
As a 10-year-old, the integrated circuit had come a long way. It could integrate hundreds of transistors on a single chip, as opposed to the first integrated circuits, used on the Apollo guidance computer, which made do with tens. But it hadn't come far enough for the F-14's computer, which demanded as many as 3,500 transistors on a single chip.
In 1968, the circuits were mapped on huge, multi-color Mylar sheets "the size of an entire wall of a commercial building," recalls Holt. The degree to which that layout could be shrunk — and its detail preserved — to form the pattern for etching on a chip was one limit to a chip's capacity.
Holt's team and chip maker American Microsystems created a six-chip processor containing 65,000 bits of data, an achievement Holt believes has been unrecognized because of semantics. Intel Corporation gets credit for producing the first single-chip microprocessor in 1971, but Holt contends that with the F-14A's first flight in 1970, his team beat Intel to the first microprocessor by a year. Unfortunately, a hydraulic failure on the first flight caused the F-14 to crash (the pilot safely ejected), but the central air data computer performed flawlessly.

Traci Lords may be considered as one of the most controversial porn stars ever to come out in the adult industry back in the 80's because of her young and innocent looks and insatiable appetite for hardcore sex in front of the camera. It was later proven that Traci was only fifteen years old when she made her first porn flick entitled What Gets Me Hot! and her life as a fast-rising porn star was marred with controversy that involved the use of drugs and other issues. Long after that she dabbled herself in acting for mainstream films which showed her prowess as a genuine actress.
Though she may have veered away from her dark past as the hottest porn star back then, it wouldn't hurt to look back at her glory years where you got to see her fully naked, sucking cocks and getting fucked with some of the hottest porn scenes she made and we compiled them in one video collection where you get nothing but Traci Lords licking and sucking cocks and getting cummed on. So get a dose of her steamy blowjob videos by clicking here and reminisce the good ol' days with the one and only Traci only at Traci Lords Nude today.

CPJ condemns attacks on press in Libya, Yemen, and Egypt
New York, March 9, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by an attack on the Ouzo Hotel in the rebel-held city of Benghazi in eastern Libya on Tuesday. Unknown assailants threw an explosive device into the hotel, which has been the primary residence for journalists in the city, in the early morning hours, according to international news reports. Foreign journalists have also been detained in various towns in Libya by the authorities; all were eventually released. In Yemen, a correspondent was attacked and threats were made against Al-Jazeera. In Egypt, officers beat and injured a local journalist.

text: Good morning everyone. My beloved suburban has lost its engine. She is a 1996 suburban 2500. Engine had 180,000miles. I love the truck. I want to fix it but not really sure how to go about it. Since there are other minor problems like ( broken knobs, blower motor, rips in the seats...ect...) I was thinking of buying a salvaged car for parts. I dont think i could handle the engine swap, but I can do everything else. I bought the truck with 140,000 miles and have done a complete brake overhaul, new fuel pump, new battery, new starter. Its an awesome vehicle for me and my 4 kids. Could you guys please give me some advice. I am mechanically inclined and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I have very limited funds$$$.

|Wed, 12 Oct 2005 14:32:34 +0100
You could stack another copy of the variables id fname and lname below the first, but with fname and lname swapped (after saving your data): stack id fname lname id lname fname, into(id name1 name2) clear egen gr=group(name1 name2) egen nv=nvals(id), by(gr) tab id if nv>1 Jamie Griffin. >>> firstname.lastname@example.com 10/12/05 1:53 pm >>> Dear Stata Listers, I have a data management problem. I am dealing with an administrative dataset (patent data). I am trying to assign unique identifiers to individual patenters. The particular problem that I am trying to tackle is that of first name/last name inversion. Consider the following records: id patent_id fname lname 686 6576756 Knuth Alexander 686 6525177 Knuth Alexander 686 6252052 Knuth Alexander 686 6297364 Knuth Alexander 802408 6339140 Alexander Knuth 802408 6830924 Alexander Knuth 802408 6723832 Alexander Knuth 802408 6774226 Alexander Knuth 802408 6774226 Alexander Knuth 802408 6723832 Alexander Knuth 802408 6830924 Alexander Knuth 802408 6339140 Alexander Knuth Now it's obvious that Knuth Alexander (id=802408) and Alexander Knuth (id=686) are one and the same person. The question is how to identify potential inversions in the data (we have 60,000 distinct identifiers in the data). My current thought was to write: egen fl=group(fname lname) egen x=nvals(id), by(fl) keep if x>1 This does not work because egen fl=group(fname lname) and egen fl=group(lname fname) return different sets of identifiers. I would want to use an equivalent of egengroup() that is indifferent to the order of the arguments. Then it would work, and I could flag all the potentially problematic records. Could someone help me out?

I just read Madmartigan's thread on his hooks used to hold the jet pack on. I'm probably going to be making a jet pack out of sintra so I'm not expecting a lot of weight.
What I'd like to know is: where does the webbing that comes out of the holes in the backpiece get attached to? Can it hold or will it sag? I should expect a bit of stretch/sag, right?
I think this opens up a whole can of worms for me because my girlfriend is making my vest with nylon/sports kind of fabric and she wants to put the opening in the back so I can slip it on like a smock. I suggested a side hole, since the back piece is going on.

Re: 1.17 is probably the last patch, here's my impressions[ Edited ]
BirthBS wrote:
I swear the body glitch happened to me yesterday!!!!
I can send you the cinema file!
They don't care, and it probably wasn't even fixed just the occurence of the glitch happening being reduced by a certain amount. Naughty Dog doesn't seem capable of actually making their game better less it involves getting money from players (even then it may not work correctly, look at some of the stats hats.)
Re: 1.17 is probably the last patch, here's my impressions
Haha, hell no that the deadbody glitch is patched.
The only thing the fixed was the way that wasn't even possible in online only in custom.
And for the airwalk, There already is another airwalk. The airwalk 5.0 :/
And the deadbody glitch with lag is still possible
Re: 1.17 is probably the last patch, here's my impressions
It's an okay update I guess....But honestly, there really isn't anything in this update that excites me and gives me any more reason to play the online.
I was kinda hoping for maybe a final set of levels from like 76-99 or something....With maybe level 100 being the rumored skull....
Or maybe a fresh new playlist that was an all competitve type playlist made up of all our labs or block mesh maps....
I wanted to see something to get me excited about playing and I don't see it. Personally, I don't care a single bit about the tournament system...and could really care less about colors and such.
The think the objectives medals changes are fine.....I have seen many people farming medals, boosters, etc in those modes...And do like they increased the rewards for earning medals that you should be trying to earn in those modes...
The big item I suppose it the FTP....I guess it's okay at this point....Gets more people playing and trying the game and anything that adds to the player pool is okay.
Overall though, not really anything that excites me.
Re: 1.17 is probably the last patch, here's my impressions
So it won't be the last, but I am not seeing any technical fixes ever coming.
Re: 1.17 is probably the last patch, here's my impressions[ Edited ]
tack129 wrote:
Here's a thread regarding my impressions of the patch and also some explaination regarding other things.
- Free-to-play: First of all, for those saying this isn't a good thing. It is. It means that there is a boost in the MP pool (Meaning that you can find more people near your location, which means less latency to that effect) and it gets people to consider grabbing the full game whether it's digital or retail. All the competitive modes are unlocked (co-op modes not included) so it means that it will be easier to find people in modes such as classic mode or even TDM. Sure there is monetizing with the micro-transactions but honetly, it isn't expected for a game that went F2P. There will be micro-transactions.
It's not that I have a problem with F2P itself, it's the way ND implemented it. You can't use half the guns, you can only play competitive mode, level cap is ridicoulsly small, multiple ads on the F2P version, honestly it's just a big advertisement. I'm not complaintng about the increased player pool, I'm complaining because I feel that if a multiplayer goes "Free to Play" it should be FREE to play, not "Free for 15 levels and you can't use half of the features". Atleast Killzone actually called it a multiplayer "demo" and didn't try to pretend it was the full experiance. Even then it still has more features than UC3.
- Colours: One of the best improvements to the patch. It means people are not limited to some very dull colours. It means more freedom in terms of customisation. It's not a gameplay element to brag about but to some people they do give a toss about what colour shirt they want their Reporter Elena to wear.
One of the sole good things about this patch. I do wish they had actually fixed things such as blindfire and weapon balance, but whatevs.
- Technical issues: I pretty much cannot talk much about this since I have no idea what technical issues were covered. As far as I know, according to Robert Cogburn's twitter it covers the Dead Body glitch and the airwalk glitch. As far as the dead body glitch goes I do not expect it to be fixed. Reason being that it was never fixed in UC2 and while I hopefully expect the patch to at least minimise dead body glitches, I don't expect them going away. Air walk I'm glad to see gone but time will tell if the technical fixes will indeed fix the issues at hand.
I'm very disappointed that there was no technical issues list put up. I would have liked to see what was fixed and what wasn't. As far as I'm aware, I don't know if it even fixed party splits.
Edit: Cogburn has replied to this thread regarding the dead body glitch and air walk glitch.My favorite part of the patch. The one thing that NEEDED to be addressed.
cog182 wrote:
Air and dead body glitch are fixed.
- Team Objectives and Plunder medals removed: This is another good thing. One of the reasons why people used TO and Plunder was to farm for boosters. With most of the medals required for boosters gone it means that people will have to resort to TDM or classic mode to level their boosters up,
It's sad that they did not remove the Assassin medal since that one covers cloaked butthis is a great step. To make matters a lot better objective and plunder medals were given buffs, it means that people will play the objective properly. None shall pass was a significantly hard trophy to get. Now it's a lot easier. if you have already got it, give yourself a pat on the back anyway. You did it the hard way, you should be proud of that. Note that this won't get rid of kill farming as there are still treasures to collect in those modes but it's a great step in the right direction.
Edit: Turns out that oh snap medals are required for the assassin medal so in effect cloaked boosting is ineffective in TO and Plunder. That's great!
I agree. I don't really care for Plunder, but for those that do it means boosting should be eliminated.
- Lab maps and labs: More lab maps per lab. That's great. AND adding the lab maps into custom games for later too. This is also a great addition for other reasons.
- Tournament additions: One thing I don't have interest in is about is the platinum tournament. For me I wasn't a big fan of the tournament system when it was first announced. I was meh. The way to get points was either through TDM, 3TDM or through classic mode. Not only that you had to play by yourself to get more points. So it's suffice to say I am very meh over the tournament updates.
- Leaderboard reset: Not a full on reset but it will do. It's only for people whom are inactive. Most of the people whom glitched their way to the top have also been removed so that's one slate wiped. Not exciting but it's a nice to have thing.
- The red paw: It's a nice gesture. I found it weird to me but I'm sure it will grow on me over time. Not a big issue for me.
Now I will get to why I made a separate thread.
I suspect that this might be the last patch ND does. It hasn't been this big of a patch since the 1.13 patch. While it would be nice for ND to continue to fix the game, I suspect that they most likely want to focus on other things such as finishing up The Last of Us and working on their PS4 project (could be Uncharted or it could be a new ip, who knows).
At any rate we shouldn't expect anything more from ND in terms of patches and any patches included should be welcomed (unless it is a 1.05 fiasco patch). If you're happy or unhappy with the latest patch, that's your concern. I wasn't wowed over completely but I was ok with it.
Now I've noticed some people aren't happy with some things with the game such as micro-transactions or that the game has gone F2P was their most disappointing news, the reaction to me was just very disappointing as I expected a better reaction to the patch and the F2P version. With regards to micro-transactions. I'm sorry but I absolutely do not care. It does not affect me so why should I complain about it? You can buy stuff that you worked hard for, so? You can still work hard to unlock those items. I care about technical fixes. Not how ND makes money. I also don't care if you got a problem with it. It's your problem, not mine. I've also said why F2P was a good thing. I won't repeat myself here. When it comes to a F2P model, expect micro-transactions.
TL;DR, patch 1.17 has highs and lows, I say why I think this might be the last patch and why I am not happy with the reaction from some people. Long read but I thought about this when writing it.
The reason I'm not a huge fan of the patch is that with the exeption of the techical fixes, I don't really think ANY of these fixes take precedence over game balancing. Great, so we can make Drake neon orange, but that doesn't change the fact that he'll still be slaughtered by overpowered M9 blindfire just as fast as before. I just don't get why they can't fix the actual game.
My comments are in red.
I don't really play Uncharted 3 much anymore...

this is just stupid and you look alot dumber then the kid for not understanding how to tweet.
@SuccessfulQuon shout out to my boy for commiting truuuuuuu!
RN is more than likely not going to Ole Miss because he wants to win something in college. He just wants to have everyone tell him how great he is before he decides to commit to a school like LSU.
I hope you seriously don't believe this
This board is for LSU fans to dicuss recruiting. If you want to discuss it with other LSU fans, the place you need to be is the SEC recruiting board.
But wait James Smith from Nola.com says Nkemdiche is all but guaranteed to come to BR. Another swing and miss from the self proclaimed recruiting analyst.
Ok, he is my cousin so I have to defend him. Besides that fact, I find him to be very accurate. First off, I am pretty sure that his job at the biggest media outlet in the state gave him the recruiting analyst title. Therefore, he is a recruiting analyst.
Second, find me where he swings and misses as you called it. This is what I know. You know nothing about his background obviously. I know for a fact that there isn't a recruiting analyst out there covering LSU that has anything close to the amount of contacts he has. At LSU and beyond. Every coach on the staff bounces things off of him and I see it every time we hang out. And I'm not talking about giving him scoop. They ask him what kids to go after and for player breakdowns. That is coaches from Miami, Clemson, LSU etc...It never stops.
I see all you guys with limited knowledge constantly trying to discredit him and from what he has told me about his post from the past, I get it. But that seems pretty petty to me. I personally am very impressed with what he has accomplished and if he wanted to boast about his experience and relationships publicly I am pretty sure it would stop this nonsense. Hopefully he will one day. Just my $.02.

I'm leeeeeavin' on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again.
Actually, yes I do. I'll be back on Sunday. But I am actually leaving on a (jet) plane. I'm headed to Wisconsin today to photograph my friend Leslie's wedding!!! In the words of all my native Californian friends, I'm hella pumped. It's a little chilly in Wisconsin from what I understand so I'm traveling in layers. In rummaging through my closet, I realized I got rid of most of my warm, cozy, perfect-for-a-Midwest-autumn clothes when I left Chicago. Bummer. Something like this little number would be dreamy right now.
1. Cashmere rollneck sweater - Cashmere. Need I say more?
2. Red jeggings - Yes, that's right, I chose jeggings.
3. S charm necklace - I can't not have an S necklace! It's my favorite letter and it's less than 3 bucks. Steal!
4. Leaf ring - How perfect for fall, right?!
5. Knee high boots - Did you know I love boots? Because I do. I love them with all my heart.
Happy weekend!!!

Excerpt: "Its been rumored for years that, if/when Eagles coach Andy Reid no longer is coaching the Eagles, former Eagles offensive coordinator Jon Gruden could be lured back to town.
Now, Howard Eskin of WIP and FOX 29 reports that Gruden could be the next coach of the Eagles.
The move, obviously, hinges on the Eagles firing Reid. And on Gruden being interested.
Gruden has made it clear from time to time that hell coach again, even as ESPN has tried to make staying in the broadcast booth more and more attractive to the man who led the Bucs to a Super Bowl win a decade ago." Read more...

Demonstrating its commitment to the future of aviation, Airbus provided an aircraft flap assembly to the University of Connecticut's School of Engineering for use in the college's research laboratories and training classes.
The left inboard flap assembly, worth more than $774,000, is commonly installed on Airbus' long-range A330 and A340 jetliners and was delivered in April to the U.S. state of Connecticut's flagship university from the Airbus Spares Center in Ashburn, Virginia.
"Airbus is always pleased when we link with academic institutions such as the University of Connecticut," said Barry Eccleston, President & CEO of Airbus Americas. "When we donate aircraft parts and components to research programs, we are investing in aviation's future."
University of Connecticut (UConn) faculty and students will help determine the best uses for the flap assembly and some of the proposed ideas include: non-destructive testing for aircraft structures; wireless aircraft sensors with energy harvesting capabilities; and new ice protection systems for aircraft.
According to Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Airbus' donation will provide significant real-world experience for the university's students. "I want to thank Airbus for their generous contribution to UConn," he said. "With this Airbus technology, we are poised to train an even more talented, competitive workforce."
The hinged flaps – mounted on the trailing edge of an airliner's wings – reduce the speed at which an aircraft can be safely flown, and shorten takeoff and landing distances by lowering the aircraft's stall speed and increasing drag.

Lake Charles police are searching for a man believed to be involved in a shooting on White Street.
Deputy Chief Mark Kraus said police currently believe that the victim was lured to an abandoned house at 336 White Street to be robbed.
A search of the of the house and the surrounding area did not yield the suspect, he said.
The suspect was described as a 6-foot tall black male, with slim build, Kraus said. The man was said to be wearing all black with a bandana across his face.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with a non-life threatening injury, Kraus said.

2). Teddy Bridgewater QB Louisville
3). Jimmy Garapolo QB E.Illinois- Many know how i feel about this kid. He can throw on the run, is very accurate, and good decison maker.
4). Derek Carr QB Fresno St- Big arm, and reminds me of what Jake Locker would be if he were more accurate and better passer.
5). AJ McCarron QB Bama- Hes a winner whos very accurate, solid size, and i think can add strength to his deep ball
A couple sleepers- Tajh Boyd, Jeff Mathews, Kenny Guiton
RB- Tre Mason RB Auburn- This kids phenomenal! Hes got NFL size, runs physical, can break tackles, has great balance, tremendous first step.etc
2). Charles Sims RB W.Va- 214lber that can move the pile, break for big gains, and is great in the pass game..
3). Bishop Sankey RB Wash
4). Jeremey Hill RB Lsu- His bowl game sold me. This kids a everydown back who ran for over a 1000 in a commitee backfield..

BOULDER CITY, Nev. (AP) – Authorities say temperatures hit an estimated 115 degrees in a Colorado River canyon where a Scout group took a fateful hike over the weekend.
Lake Mead park rangers say 69-year-old Scout leader Clawson Bowman Jr. of Las Vegas was found dead around 3:30 p.m. Saturday about a mile from the trailhead.
Four other Boy Scouts were rescued from the White Rock Canyon area in Arizona after calling for help.
Park rangers tell the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the group had started early and reached their destination at the Arizona Hot Springs by 9 a.m. But the heat rose quickly, and the group became disoriented as they tried to make their way back.Jun 10, 2013 at 11:24 am #1995324

I find it hard to believe that there's not some pre existing health issue in cases like this.

Like pilots do well and boaters sometimes manage, we all need certain hard&fast limits that, in calm thoughtful reflection we've decided we will never exceed. For a particular pilot/plane that might a minimum of 2 n.m. of vis or a ceiling of more than 2500' AGL. A certain boat might dictate no seas over 3 feet.
Temps forecast over 100F should absolutely dictate a trip cancellation. Over 85 or 90F in sun or without lots of acclimatization should also scrub a trip.
When I work in the desert, we have checklists of the amount of water per person, rest break schedules (OSHA requires shade, but A/C in a vehicle is better), and there's a sliding scale of more rest at higher temps plus a hard stop-work limit.
We cavers marvel at how Boy Scout troops, almost uniquely, will proceed with a trip to a wet cave when rain showers or thunderstorms are forecast.
Maybe if every trip announcement included comfort/safety-related contingencies ("day hike at Lake Chabot Saturday at 9 am. Rrain plan: Oakland Museum"), the organizers would (1) be forced to comply with their own guidelines, and (2) be able to attribute a trip cancellation to the weather rather than feel personally responsible for disappointing the boys by canceling. Last winter, my kids had a lot of ski lessons cancelled for temps below -0F (90 minute lessons). Shorter school recess periods have a -10F limit. -12F and it's indoor recess.Jun 10, 2013 at 11:39 am #1995326

115* is incredibly hot if you're in it for any length of time.

Sad story, kids don't know their limits and adults trying to keep up with their kids push themselves too hard. A clear policy of when to cut a trip off helps with such situations.
That said I would not make 100 F a cut off for all trips. I was out in the sun all day long one week when the temps hit 105 daily. Of course I'd already been working in south Texas for months and knew how to take care of my body.Jun 10, 2013 at 6:41 pm #1995416

It was 115 a few days across central Kansas last summer, and all the residents of that state didnt drop like flies.
Older people are VERY sensitive to heat stroke and heat related illnesses. My sister went over to my parents house one day, my 72 yr old dad once was standing in the kitchen and didnt know who she was, or who he was. He had just been mowing the yard on a normal summer day. On way to ER he repeatedly kept asking where they were going.
With adequate water, and a place to occassionally get out of the direct sun and rest, heat isnt usually a killer for normal healthy people.
However I have seen several people pass out in temps in mid 90s, not in direct sun, when working in hot areas like concessions at football stadiums. Not strenuous work. Some people are less resilent I suppose.Jun 11, 2013 at 6:15 am #1995534

Okay, 115 is darn hot and if you've ever ridden a motorcycle in temps like that, it's hideous (especially on an air-cooled 2-stroke).
The fellow who died was 69 years old and still leading young men on adventures. 69 years old. He was apparently in good health, in compliance with the BSA requirement for annual health assessment and got caught in temperatures and stress that exceeded his capacity. I wonder if, once things got that hot, he had a chance to cool or not. That was pretty darn hot and those Scouts had to deal with a pretty horrible situation.
BTW, BSA standards direct us to cancel all kinds of things during "weather", be it rain, sleet, snow, heat or wind. Such guidelines can be difficult to navigate once one is "out in it". For examples, one is hiking in the High Sierra and it begins to rain; one is canoeing down the Colorado and wind whips up; one is canyoneering and it becomes much hotter than the weather forecasts that were available for the nearby areas. The spreadsheet and flow charts begin.
They got caught out and a good man, a volunteer, lost his life. A disaster all around. My heart goes out to those young men and the Scout leader's family.Jun 11, 2013 at 8:04 am #1995555

Heat Stress in the Elderly
Elderly people (that is, people aged 65 years and older) are more prone to heat stress than younger people for several reasons:
Elderly people do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature.
They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat.
They are more likely to take prescription medicines that impair the body's ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibit perspiration.Jun 11, 2013 at 9:58 am #1995586

Sad Story.
I don't think I could call off my trips at 100F or even 105F without practically giving up entirely. That may be an exaggeration, but it seems like my long distance bicycle tours often have record heat headlines much of the way. Record heat seems to be the rule on my trips. I know it was 100-105F for a lot of our coast to coast Trans America tour. It was also an unseasonable 110-115 for a chunk of our San Diego to Reno tour. My backpacking trips have not been quite as bad, but I have had 100F+ unexpectedly after I was already committed and didn't have much option other than to finish. I consider myself to be a bit of a "delicate flower" wrt the heat, but I managed.
Do your mileage when it is the coolest part of the day, don't push too hard, and drink A LOT of water. I do wish I was better at following my own advice though :)Jun 11, 2013 at 4:24 pm #1995709

First off……this is a tragedy. I hope for the best for his friends and family.
I just want to agree with the people who have said that with the right clothes, health, and acclimating one can operate OK in temperatures over 100.When I was 18, I had a long term internship (archaeology and restoration) in the middle east, which involved heavy work for 6-8 hours in 100-110 degree heat on average (and often in the open).
After about a week of feeling like death after work and barely making it through the day I (and the other Americans)started looking at the substantially older native Arabs who were completely out working us (some men in their late 60's-early 70's). On my 3rd day, despite drinking gallons of water, I got dehydrated and blew up out of every hole:)
Next day, we ditched the shorts, t-shirt, and baseball cap for full body coverage……I wasn't wearing a kafiya (some did), but i started wearing a torn pillow case to cover the back of my neck and a neck gaiter and this made all the difference.
Also, we hiked in these temperatures in the day time (100+) for several days…..while taking more brakes mid-day, but still hiking. I guess that there is also acclimating.Jun 11, 2013 at 7:41 pm #1995779

I am very familiar with this area. Most hikers park at the trail head on HWY 93. This is the White Rock Canyon trail head. It is only 3 miles to the Colorado River, which is actually the top of Lake Mojave. To me it is inconceivable that someone could get lost on this trail, as it is well marked. The first 1.5 miles or so is a wash. The last 1.5 miles is mostly a slot canyon. From here you go south about a 1/4 mile and work your way up to Arizona Hot Spring. Maybe a total of 1/2 mile. You have to climb a 20 foot ladder just below the hot spring. It is next to impossible to get lost.
Above: wash in White Rock Canyon entering the slots.
Above: 1.5 miles or so of slot canyon to the Colorado. High walls and trees for plenty of shade.
Above: Colorado River 3 miles from the trail head.
Above: Trail to Hot Spring Canyon about 1/4 mile down stream from junction of Colorado River and White Rock Canyon.
Above: Seasonal stream below Arizona Hot Springs.
Now why would an adult want to take kids to a hot spring in summer, where the water temperature is 114F+ and you cannot drink the water and there is a remote possibility of the naegleria fowleri amoeba entering your body via the mouth or nose. It is a nice soak in December though.
I suppose they could have started at the source of White Rock Canyon, which requires somehow getting to the southern base of Fortification Hill. From here you would have to walk cross country a couple miles to the top of White Rock Canyon and then hike the 10 miles to the Colorado. I have never seen another human at the top of White Rock Canyon, so this is unlikely.
The other two things that could have happened is the troop cross from the trail head over to Hot Springs Canyon, which is difficult. The top of Hot Springs Canyon has 30+ foot pour-overs to head down towards Arizona Hot Springs.
Or if they crossed over to Hot Springs Canyon further down, they would have had to do it cross country or locate the old Native American trail, which is sketchy at times. Trying to get to Arizona Hot Springs via Hot Spring Canyon would be irresponsible for an adult to attempt with kids, especially in summer.
So my guess is they tried to hike in via Hot Springs Canyon.
Although I do some hiking in these kinds of temperatures, I ALWAYS discourage others to do so.
Below some pictures of Hot Springs Canyon. You need to go over the hills at the left of each picture. The only easy way is to find a ancient trail which winds through the hills separating White Rock Canyon and Hot Springs Canyon. This trail disappears at times in the hills. It will eventually hit a side trail in White Rock Canyon, which is not the main trail to the river. Again, very poor decision to take kids on this route in summer.

I have caught 14 swarms in 10 traps so far and 1 out of a tree. This is some kind of fun! Now I have to go get more woodenware.

I have caught 14 swarms in 10 traps so far and 1 out of a tree. This is some kind of fun! Now I have to go get more woodenware.
I was warned that bees were addictive
I was just wondering about that. How are you keeping up with boxes, frames, etc? I have two traps to hang this week if the weather breaks.
No one famous.
I have two extra traps that I don't set out and I use those to swap out with ones that catch swarms. So when I take one i leave one in its place. I have actually caught swarms two days later in the same location. When I transfer the swarms into regular hives I usually only have to move over two or three frames and I replace them with extra old frames that I keep on hand. Then you have your swarm box ready to swap out with the next one and so on.You will get the old frames back later as you work your hives and manipulate frames for various reasons. Although I have some traps set close to my two apiaries I have most set at least two or more miles away so that I can relocate from where they are caught straight to one of the yards with out having to move them twice.
Good luck!
What are you using for traps and bait? It looks like you are having great luck. Can you offer and other pointers? Thanks!
teach us how to trap. How high off the ground? choosing the right location.how big is your trap,and what size opening? Are you using lemon grass as your lure? You seem to be doing the right things.
Old hive bodies(deeps), any where from 5' to 15' high. Make it easy on yourself. I don't use trees. Put them in windows of or on top of porches of old falling down houses. Place them so you can see the openings from the truck that way you don't have to waste time when checking them. I use a 1&1/4 hole saw to cut entrance. Use as much old frames as possible for smell and leave all but the outside two empty of foundation. Outside two I use old dark comb. LGO for lure.
Thanks, TD
Great info. Thanks tdsiders.

I'll bet the nucs thye make up survive their first year with or without treatments.
It's not all about a brood break .
When you split a hive up into nucs you are taking the mites in the brood and divvying it up throughout however many nucs you are making up so you no longer have a hive full of mites you have 10 nucs with one frame of mites. Add a brood break to that if you are using queen cells and you have even less mites.
The new queen starts laying like a machine and the bee numbers increase dramatically much faster than the varroa can increase so mite problems are reduced.

Recently we have had batches of honey that tested slightly high for corn syrup (around 10%). We are considering selling some locally and wondering how it should be labeled. What is legally required for it to be called honey and should we be listing ingredients since it has corn syurp?

He entertained tennis fans around the world for 20 years as a professional player and last night it was Auckland's turn.
During an event at the Langham Hotel sponsored by the Mad Butcher, Andre Agassi spoke about his childhood and life on the professional circuit which reaped eight grand slams.
Personalities listening to the 42-year-old included Sir Graham Henry, Olympic gold medal-winning rower Mahe Drysdale, young professional boxer Joseph Parker, former Black Cap Martin Crowe and ex rugby player Inga Tuigamala.
Agassi's frank autobiography Open, first published in October 2009, in which he spoke about his drug use, marriage to actor Brooke Shields and resentment of tennis at an early age, won him new fans, and last night he touched on those topics.
In an emotional video introduction, Agassi said his hatred of the game stemmed from the way his father Emmanuel, known as Mike, forced him to practise.
Agassi, who hails from Las Vegas, said the object of his hatred was a machine which spat tennis balls at him at a speed of more than 160km/h, which he called The Dragon. He only wanted to do well in the game to please his Iranian-born father, he said.
In a question-and-answer session at the sold-out event, he added: "I wasn't born to play tennis, I was made to play tennis, so this conflict - became the central core of my life. That started my resentment for the game."
"I was sent away at 13 years old to an academy which was all about tennis. There was no adult supervision, it was like Lord of the Flies with forehands."
"I never accepted that ... I worked really hard to succeed only to be hit with the realisation that succeeding doesn't fulfil you," he said.
On Wednesday night he spoke at a function in Christchurch. Book signings at Paper Plus stores there and in Auckland's Newmarket attracted crowds of 1100 people.
In his book, Agassi, who is married to former women's No 1 player Steffi Graf, spoke about the dullness of his great rival Pete Sampras.
There was little dull about the confessions last night from the first man to win all four grand slams on all three surfaces - grass, hardcourt and clay.

My question is should i be worried about no brood now(dec 5) n This is the second winter for this hive. last month they had plenty of honey and brood and beetle. I got the beetles in line/ today;, i elimimated a supper as it was mostly empty. I have read that the queen will slow down and sometimes stop laying. But I am still worried, as I just lost my newest hive, which was weak.j
one atime they were fine, then the next time piles of bees are dead
first time posting, and got a cat pawing at me for attention.
Any suggestions, history, anything will be appreciated

So I know Yoda is a Jedi Master and all that, but he's got something wrong. One of his most favourite claims -- "Do, or do not. There is no 'try,'" -- has a big hole in it. He's suggesting that if you make enough of an effort to achieve a goal, you should be able to reach that goal. And that if you fail, your effort or conviction was lacking. That certainly hasn't been my reality.

Perfect location, welcoming host and good value for money .. The kitchen had everything you need.. We had minor issues like the heater in the living room worked for one day then didn't work again but the heater in the bedroom was strong enough to reach the living room, also the bathroom didn't have soap. In general we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and may come back again :)
Very bad price quality blance.
The bed was not the one on the picture, it was in a significantly worse condition, old and quite noisy.
The flat as such and the overall hygiene were alright, but if the check out is supposed to be at 10am, it ought to be 10am. Nonetheless, at 9.40am the cleaning woman entered the flat to change bed sheets, towels, etc. Worst thing was that she stayed inside the apartment, and wouldn't leave. Unacceptable, and needless to say that we had never before experienced such a situation.
As for the location, the flat is close to the Prater park, but quite far from the city centre (45 mins walking!). The area is definitely not the nicest in Vienna either.
The apartment is very well. This is very new and well connected. Very close to the amusement park in Vienna. You have a metro stop right in front of the apartment. Walter was very kind to us. Highly recommended to spend a few days in Vienna. Thanks for everything.
Transport possibility super, flat all right, friendly acceptance. Worth it.
The apartment has perfect location. It's near the metro station which if you want can walk to the inner city center. Walter and Birgit are great hosts, they are very kind people. I will advise this flat to my friends who want to visit Vienna. Danke schön.
Everything was very good. The apartment is well located, just two minutes to the railway station, and no more than 15 minutes to the city center.
All is very clean!And the kitchen is big enough to have 6 persons to eat together.
If we come back to Vienna, we will not hesitate to choose the same apartment.
Birgit, many thanks for your hospitality!
Attention was very poor. We sent several messages specifying the hour at which we would arrive and we were waiting for about 45 minutes outside the door and we could only get to the flat because a neighbour introduced us to the person that was supposed to be waiting for us.
They gave us a wrong telephone number of the person that was to receive us. After we finally got into the appartement, we got no apology mail or message whatsoever.
The appartment was correct and very well communicated. Only a one minute walk to the nearest metro station and it had supermarkets near. Hoowever, wifi was really bad. As for the appartment itself, it was ok but for example, the towels were the size of a cloth.
The kitchen was completely new and completely equipped and the bathroom has hot water and was good.
The appartment was correct but the attention received was very bad.
Clean, well-furnished apartment on the edge of the 17th district in Vienna. We enjoyed our stay generally but the street noise (specifically, the cars, trucks, and buses) were loud and made it difficult to sleep in the evenings. The lack of A/C is also a challenge during the summer months. The house was well-laid out and included everything we needed.
We were met by Katarina who was very pleasant but not much help. Her English was limited but she managed to convey what we needed to know with our limited German. But it would have been helpful to get some local tips, like the fact that all stores are closed on Sunday. We also had no way of contacting her, so when we ran out of TP and found the stores closed, we had a big problem! There were very few staples in the kitchen, just dishes. The apartment is nicely located and looked as it does in the photos.

LEGALLY POISONED: How the Law Puts Us at Risk from Toxicants. Carl F. Cranor. xii +315 pp. Harvard University Press, 2011. $35.
PCBs are one of the best kept secrets," a chemist once told me. This was the 1980s, and he made his livelihood extracting polychlorinated biphenyls, a class of synthetic chemicals whose production in the United States was banned in 1979, from fish tissues and sediments. What he meant was that although we hadn't yet fully understood the toxicology of these chemicals, there was plenty of concern about widespread contamination: enough to keep cadres of federal and private-industry chemists employed for years studying the PCBs which had made their way from factories into air and water and eventually into fish, birds, whales and humans. At the time, PCB analyses were about $500 a pop, and tests for dioxins (PCBs' more nefarious cousin) cost more than $1,000. Add to this all the dollars that have been spent funding toxicologists and other health-related scientists, engineers and clean-up experts—and the more difficult-to-measure costs associated with health effects. For the past 30 years or more, our collective experience with these synthetic pollutants has been costly, and we—the public—are too often the ones footing the bill. As Carl F. Cranor describes them in Legally Poisoned, these costs represent the externalities—costs not fully reflected in the market price of a product—so often associated with industrial chemicals and our ongoing reliance on postmarket environmental-health laws to protect us. Cranor explains that many important chemicals, including drugs, pesticides and food additives, are regulated by premarket testing, a flawed but relatively effective approach in which, as the phrase implies, toxicity testing is required before commercialization. But far too many chemicals, such as PCBs, bisphenol A (BPA) and polybrominated flame retardants are subject only to postmarket laws. These chemicals are commonly referred to as "innocent until proven guilty," and they are the chemicals that all too often invade our most private spaces—our bodies.
The market is awash with books about toxic bodies, babies, rubber ducks, homes and workplaces (not to mention in-laws, men, faith and assets). Cranor, a legal and moral philosopher and a faculty member in the University of California, Riverside's graduate environmental toxicology program, cannot resist reiterating how contaminated we all are. Nonetheless, Legally Poisoned offers a refreshingly different take on toxic chemicals in our lives, explaining how this situation came to be and what we might do about it.
That we are all involuntarily contaminated by chemicals used in consumer products or released by industry is largely the result of watered-down legislation, particularly the postmarket variety, which has let myriad toxic cats out of the bag—and left us not only holding the bag but trying to recapture all those cats while suffering the consequences of any number of diseases they may have spread. Cranor presents this case in chapters 2 and 4, "Nowhere to Hide," and "Caveat Parens: A Nation at Risk from Contaminants," respectively. Especially given the many articles, books and websites that already exist to spread this information, I found these to be the book's weakest chapters. They rely very heavily on quoted material. In addition, I noted minor inaccuracies in Cranor's toxicology. He suggests, for example, that biomagnification refers to the preferential retention of toxic congeners, or members of the chemical family, of PCBs. (Industry typically used PCB mixtures consisting of different proportions of up to 209 different chlorinated biphenyl congeners.) It may be splitting hairs to point this out, but biomagnification refers simply to the passing of chemicals upward through trophic levels, resulting in increased concentration of a particular chemical—whether it's PCBs or a metal such as mercury. Although the process certainly contributes to the increased toxicity of PCB congeners as they concentrate up the food web, an important underlying mechanism is the preferential metabolism of various less-toxic congeners and, resulting from this, the retention of the more-toxic congeners that Cranor points out. Because terms like biomagnificaiton, bioaccumulation and bioconcentration are so often confused to begin with, it's important in a book like this to make sure they are accurately defined. Additionally, the book includes a bit of redundancy (both within itself and with what has already been published), and at times I wondered whether a toxicologist had reviewed these chapters. If you are well versed in toxicology or have read any one of the many recent books on the subject, you may want to skim and move along. Beyond chapters 2 and 4, the book improves a great deal.
Chapter 3, "Discovering Disease, Dysfunction, and Death by Molecules," provides a clearly written introduction to the different ways in which scientists gather information about the effects of chemicals on humans, from case reports to epidemiological studies, and the strengths and weaknesses of each type of study. It also includes an articulate discussion of animal studies. I teach introductory toxicology classes to nonmajors, and this is the kind of writing on the subject I've been looking for: It's not overly technical but is detailed enough to explain why linking cause and effect in humans is so difficult—and why, despite our discomfort with animal studies, as long as we continue to develop chemicals that the public will breathe, drink or otherwise ingest, and until we find clearly better alternatives, we are stuck with those studies.
Cranor contends that, although we may morally reject human testing, in the context of postmarket chemical regulation, that is essentially what we are doing: We are involuntarily offering ourselves and our children as guinea pigs. This key point is explored in chapter 5, "Reckless Nation: How Existing Laws Fail to Protect Children," and in the book's final chapter, "What Kind of World Do We Want to Create?" These chapters reveal the gaping holes in the legal meshwork, which have resulted in a situation that, according to the author, not only "creates temptations for companies not to test their products," but also rewards them for "rais[ing] doubt about the science that shows the toxicity of a product." His take on the situation is unequivocal in its concern:
Citizens are now experimental subjects for the toxicity of products in our chemical society, an outcome that 1970s congressional and presidential committees knew was possible and hoped to avoid. However, in the end Congress failed to enact legislation to prevent it. Moreover, companies have a legal right to contaminate the public until there is sufficient science for a risk assessment and sufficient political will in a regulatory agency to reduce the risks.
As a toxicologist who shies away from legalese, I found these chapters, along with chapter 6, "A More Prudent Approach to Reduce Toxic Invasions," most informative. They provide a readable (if not compelling) overview of the current framework of environmental health laws, analysis of those laws' effectiveness and lack thereof and possible solutions.
Much of the book focuses in one way or another on rejecting our reliance on postmarket law and developing stronger and more universal premarket controls. Examples of such controls that Cranor highlights include the European Union's legislative approach (Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals, or REACH); the Massachusetts law (the Toxics Use and Reduction Act) mandating that companies using large amounts of chemicals plan for pollution prevention, which is facilitated by the work of the Toxic Use and Reduction Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell; and the efforts of New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg to make major amendments to the sweeping and ineffective Toxic Substances Control Act through the Safe Chemicals Act of 2010 (which, as of this writing, has yet to pass).
Cranor not only deals with captivating and current issues but also explains how we got into our current situation and more importantly how, given the public and political will, we might get out. This is an important point. I've been asked by students how, as an environmental toxicologist, I can stand to teach such gloom and doom. "Doesn't it get depressing?" they ask. "No," I say, "because you can do something about it." But really I ought to be saying, "We can do something about it." We can take meaningful action not by simply trying to avoid contact with toxic chemicals (or "self-help," as Cranor puts it, which is essentially futile) but by prevention: speaking up and demanding changes to our chemical control laws, from premarket to postmarket, for all (or nearly all) chemicals.

The Reviews are in for Apple's "New iPad"

Apple has another solid hit with the "New iPad"
Apple's "New iPad" was
announced last week to much fanfare in San Francisco
. As is usually the case with new iPad or iPhone releases,
launch day pre-orders sold out quickly
and those who were late to get their orders in could end up waiting for a few weeks to get their hands on one.
As a refresher, an Apple A5X processor that has seen its onboard RAM double from 512MB to 1GB powers the new iPad. The A5X is also blessed with a quad-core GPU which boosts gaming performance and helps feed the new iPad's biggest new feature: a 2048 x 1536 resolution Retina display. Other niceties include a 5MP rear-facing camera, and optional LTE connectivity.
On the negative side, the weight and thickness of the iPad has grown to accommodate a new 42.5 watt-hour battery (the iPad 2 had a 25 watt-hour battery). In addition, Apple is once again being stingy with storage capacities on the iPad. Even though app sizes are
doubling or even tripling in some cases
due to Retina support, Apple is holding firm with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities -- the same lineup as when the first generation iPad launched in 2010.
Tonight, however, we're getting our first look at what the new iPad can do courtesy of a flood of reviews. Here are some select excerpts from the reviews that are currently available:
Joshua Topolsky of
The Verge
gives his thoughts on the iPad 3's gorgeous new Retina display:
Yes, this display is outrageous. It's stunning. It's incredible. I'm not being hyperbolic or exaggerative when I say it is easily the most beautiful computer display I have ever looked at…
You literally can't see pixels on the iPad's display when you hold it at a regular distance, and even up close you have to really inspect the thing to see dots. For rendered text or high resolution images, it just looks otherworldly; like a glowing piece of paper.

Walt Mossberg of
fame touched on the battery life of the new iPad. While it's not quite the power-sipper as its predecessor, it still posts some impressive numbers.
Apple claims up to 10 hours of battery life between charges, and up to nine hours if you are relying strictly on cellular connectivity. In my standard battery test, where I play videos back to back with both cellular and Wi-Fi on, and the screen at 75% brightness, the new iPad logged 9 hours and 58 minutes, compared with 10 hours and 9 minutes for the iPad 2. Other tablets died hours sooner in the same test. In more normal use, the new iPad lasted more than a full day, though not as long as the iPad 2 did.
The original iPad didn't have any cameras at all, while the iPad 2 came with a standard front-facing camera for FaceTime and an incredibly subpar rear-facing camera for pictures and 720p video. The new iPad can now features a 5MP camera and bumps video recording up to 1080p. Vincent Nguyen of
gives his thoughts on the new optics:
Apple says it has borrowed the camera technology and optics from the iPhone 4S for the new iPad, though still the 5-megapixel images the tablet is capable of do lag behind the 8-megapixel examples from the smartphone. There's more visible noise and chromatic aberrations at full zoom, though the quality is far, far better than any stills the iPad 2 can achieve. You also get face recognition for up to ten people per frame, automatically adjusting focus and exposure, but the camera app UI itself is no more complex than before.
While the actual CPU hasn't improved much over the iPad 2, the integrated GPU has definitely been turbocharged, as witnessed by Jason Snell of
That power comes from the X factor in the A5X processor—a new quad-core graphics engine. And sure enough, the third-generation iPad blows away every other iOS device in terms of graphics performance. In our tests using the GLBench 3D graphics testing app, the third-generation iPad could draw a complex 3D scene at the full frame rate of its display, 60 frames per second, without breaking a sweat. And in GLBench offscreen tests, which aren't constrained by the display's frame rate, the third-generation iPad had a frame rate 1.6 times that of the iPad 2 (and 13 times that of the original iPad).
[Source: MacWorld]
Overall, the new iPad seems to be another solid entry into the tablet field for Apple. It holds the line on CPU performance and battery life (at the expense of device thickness and weight) while offering an impressive Retina display, optional LTE, and a tremendous boost in graphics performance. Pricing remains the same as previous iPad model ($499/$599/$699 for Wi-Fi; add $130 for LTE models), but Apple still doesn't have the guts to give users an increase in storage capacities.
To sum things up, Joshua Topolsky offers these words of advice:
Let's be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad's market position as the dominant player and product to beat.

The older ones do not have the firing pin block. They are still decent pistols if you get one that is not wore out. Over on the CZ sponsored forum is a section devoted to the classic model 75
===>>>The Original CZ Forum - Index<<<===
I believe (key word believe) that parts for the older ones are harder to find than parts for the "B" models (B designates firing pin block),
If it was me, you can get a new one for for a little over a 100 more here CZ 75B PolyCoat 9mm 91102 they are on backorder though. There are some on gunbroker also and some in the pipelines
the CZ 85 is just a 75 with ambi-dextrous controls, here is one that is less expensive than those old imported ones
===>>>CZ 85 B 85B 9MM Pistol in Box Nice : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com<<<===
I have a hard time seeing links on this forum. I need to see if there are any settings to change, I stuck arrows around the links

Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
I started tweeting to Phil Rosenberg at PS3...
I suggest others do so as well so he can understand the severity of the problem.

Hey Joystick_Warrior. Could you tell us what is being done to address this? Who are you reporting this feedback to? What are they doing with this information? What is the timeline for fixing the issue? If it isn't fixed by the first half of the season, will a partial refund be issued?
We're providing a TON of feedback here, it would nice if the communication worked both ways. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Right now I am reporting this feedback to several support teams who can investigate and fix the problems with NFL ticket. They are currently collecting the information from me and trying to solve the issue for those having them. This is all the info I can give at the moment however I will double check and see if there is an estimated timeline for a fix. Thanks again for your information and patience.
Thanks! I appreciate you working with us on this issue.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
For the THIRD week in a row I had issues, this time it was watching Miami-Arizona, which as a Niners fan was of great interest to me and actually ended up being a heck of a game -- that I couldn't watch because my $300 service failed!
Oh wait, technically, the Red Zone Channel worked. Yea! I can get that through Verizon FiOS for $50ish for the entire year. I'm not paying Sony/DTV $300 for the Red Zone Channel, I'm paying for out-of-market games.
At this point, why bother giving every single bit of information requested when it is clear in this thread that too many people have issues for it to be individual issues. It is a DTV/Sony/Whoever issue, not the user. I've called tech support enough. The troubleshooting article doesn't help. Calling tech support doesn't help. I got a $10 refund for last week. Whoop de doo. $10 isn't even 1/17th of the $300 pricetag. I also asked for a refund for Week 4. If it's another $10 I'm going to explode. The service is not usable and you're not even refunding me for each week I can't watch it?
And why is it $300 if it isn't working? It's NOT WORTH $300!!! The price needs to be dropped immediately and people refunded. And next year, don't sell it for so much because it is not even worth $50 at this point.
If Week 5 is terrible once again, I am cancelling in full. I want all my money back. And if my refund this week is another $10, I WILL be calling the BBB over this.
Yes, I am ticked. Yes, I am venting. But I've been patient enough. Fix the service. Whatever you have to do, fix it. $300 for crappy service is NOT COOL, especially when I can use that money elsewhere.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
I had the same blackout issues as AG2DN......The Miami vs Arizona game was on my loacal cbs channel at 4pm but on the Sunday Ticket this game was showing and the Denver vs Oakland game was the game being blacked out....I'am in Central FL.
The Denver game should of not been blacked out the Miami game should have and I was frustrated trying to explain to Directv and Sony Support for hours and no one had answers.Only that they go off of what your ip says.
The support for this product is atrocious,if you try calling Directv they try to sell you their service and to get to any kind of tech support you have to go through 20 different departments....Also if you try to call Sony they are just about as clueless as Directv.
Both companies need to get together and have a difinitive support site and contact tech support for this product instead of jumping through hoops to get answers.
JOYSTICK WARRIOR please report to the tech team that this product needs more bandwidth(4.5mbps or more),better servers to withstand higher traffic demand a Fanatsy Team Tracker and a Short Cuts or archived games feature....Thanks
ALSO a better tech support who has the proper knowledgeable answers....
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
Well, here we are folks, its saturday and I'm sitting here wondering if when I turn the ps3 on tommorow I'll be able to even see the game I paid for, buffering and all. Probably not since I live 150 miles fron nashville and cbs will probably air the titans game. However I live about 1000 miles from denver and boston area. Very ironic for me. It would be great if tech support would post back about any progress they have made towards the issues. I personally dont like being left in the dark about it. We just have to wait til Sunday and hold our breath.
Thanks to all posts on here, just wish more people would take the time to let psn know there are issues, have a feeling there is a lot more out there. P. S. I'll bet my ps3 will show me the titans game.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
- What issue(s) are you experiencing? (error message, buffering, spinning wheel, picture quality)
- 1) Lag, Spinning Wheel, skipped plays, no video available, CRAP video quality (pixelated, looks like Nintendo Mario Bros type pixelation), sound quality stinks too.
- Who is your ISP? - Time Warner/Road Runner - 20mbps down 2mbps up - confirmed by speedtestnet (both wired and wireless)
- Are you using a wired or wireless connection? - Wired through my wireless router WRT160Nv2
- What is the make & model of your router? Motorola SB5010
- When did the issue occur? Late Week 2, All of week 3, All of week 4 (already asked for a refund)
- In what state are you located? - North Carolina
I don't think that DTV and PS3 can handel the amount of traffic when streaming their feeds. Just my opinion.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
PS - It's sunday at 11:50est. I've had red zone on since 8am. No issues early in the morning, an hour from game time the stuttering begins. Its gotta be a server issue.

Importance in Egyptian Society
Ma'at was important for many reasons in Egyptian society. She plays a key role in most versions of the creation myth and is occasionally called "Mother of the Earth".
She was responsible for the balance of the universe and was usually said to be the cause of any fortune (good or otherwise). The concept of Ma'at (order, harmony, balance) was used to explain many important natural occurrences, like the changing of the seasons and the balance between the Nile and the desert.
Egyptian life was based on order and balance in both society and the natural world. Because of this, Ma'at was extremely important and well respected in Egyptian society, and Ma'at was thought to govern nearly every aspect of Egyptian life.
Though Ma'at was rarely worshipped in temples, it was important to try and please her on a regular basis. She was the fulcrum on which a spirit was weighed and judged in the afterlife and was therefore constantly present in an Egyptian's every day life. Much like the Christian "Ten Commandments", ancient Egyptians were expected to uphold the "42 Principles of Ma'at" (eg. do not steal)
The justice system was there to uphold the values of Ma'at, though she was not directly related to law. People involved in the justice system were called Priests of Ma'at, even the Pharaoh himself.
Ma'at and the Pharaoh were very closely linked. Pharaohs called themselves the Beloved of Ma'at. They had to rule in a way that kept order and harmony. If they didn't, it was believed that chaos would occur.

Hello All,
with a regular langstroth hive, people often talk about a managment procedure where in the spring you take the top box (containing the cluster) off the brood chamber and put it on the bottom of the stack. some folks talk of checkerboarding the boxes that are now on top.
what happens with a top bar hive?
presumably the bee's tend to have their brood toward the entrance of the hive and the honey behind it. during the winter the cluster moves into the honey area. in the spring do they move back into the front of the hive to raise new brood?
the reason I ask is because I'm thinking about the fact they build different size cells in different parts of the hive.
seems like you want to avoid them laying in the honey area where they presumably have larger cells.
