Re: Welcome to the forums!
Hi there
Just joined, from New Zealand. We are big Jamie fans, get the magazine, have visited the restaurants when in UK, bought some of the books, and of course watch the TV shows. I remember the first Naked Chef shows from way back and getting the cookbook and thinking 'What a breath of Fresh air'. NZ has a habit of knocking people who have got on and done something (it's called Tall Poppy Syndrome here) but wow, I really admire what Jamie has been up to - a real inspiration.

This may have been brought up before, but I had an idea on how to shake a branch safely from the ground.
Simply install a qood quality wooden handled paint roller (minus the roller part) on a telescopic painters stick. Trim down the length of the steel bar if desired. Place around the branch and give the branch a shake.
This will work exceptionally well when the hive is placed on top of a ladder as shown in this video. Hint.... strap the hive down first. I bet he wished he had one. Sooooo many things could have gone wrong (and almost did). lol
Here is an example of the branch shaker.

These sort of statements miss the essential evolutionary imperative of honeybees. Honeybees are successful generalists. They resist niche specialization. Many insects pursue niche specialization and become highly fragile, fragmented species. Honeybees have a very different strategy -- they use social communication to adapt to conditions, rather than hard-wired specializations. This is why the same interbreeding species is able to prosper from the Equator to the Arctic.
The "mythos" of local survivors is fundamentally an inductive reasoning error. An abstract good -- "local adaptation" is posited; and this abstraction is then promoted as a real thing. In reality, the bees have a breeding and social system designed to defeat niche specialization. The bees have higher fitness as generalists, and they are evolutionary successful and long-lasting because they have resisted the siren-song on local niche specialization.

Politics vs. Immigration Reform
Republicans are again at war with themselves over immigration reform. Ideally, they would agree on the need to legalize millions of illegal immigrants now here and to better control the number of future unskilled foreigners competing with our struggling working class.
Unfortunately, neither the Republican Party's leadership nor its conservative opposition is entirely with the program. The conservative base doesn't want to legalize, and the leadership wants a generous supply of cheap labor.

For the first time ever, Canadian companies took part in PwC's Global Innovation Survey. More than 1,707 executives from around the globe agree that innovation isn't just important, it's essential to staying relevant and competitive in an evolving global market. Although Canadian companies express a very eager appetite for innovation, they lag behind the world in having some key components necessary for staying ahead of the curve.
The vast majority of Canadian companies that took part in the global survey were from the financial, technology, information, communication and entertainment sectors*. Here are the highlights from their perspectives on innovation.
The results of the global survey couldn't be clearer: innovation today is a key driver of organic growth for all companies—regardless of sector or geography. Meanwhile, innovation leaders are breaking away from their cohorts, expecting a revenue boost of a quarter-trillion US dollars over the next five years alone. Review the full report to find out what exactly these innovation leaders are doing differently.
* Our survey features responses from a cross-section of the financial services sector (26% responses) and a cross-section of technology, information, communication, and entertainment sector (43% responses).

looks pretty good, i like it
The Verdict: A 638-hp flip-off to those in the mainstream media who think GM doesn?t build any good cars.
It kind of looks like it has the proportions of a compact, what car was this based off of?
Fiat Bravo?Fiat Linea?Either way, I like it!

Veryyy nice. Your newer chops are much more subtle.
____________________________________________________________The only thing that beats a 385 hp 5.0? A 412 hp one.
That's what I like to see Stingray. A nice, realistic chop. The quality is much better than usual.
I still see plenty of Fiat.
i see plenty ford as in focus/fiesta, but the original grill is better
I think that car would be best suited as the next Dodge Neon!

A dance move, in which the dancer gets an extremely nervous look on their face, while simultaneously moving clenched fists up and down the chest/stomach area. This is often used as a dance move when you have no idea how to dance to a particular song. Basically, you try to look like you don't know the dance to the song sarcastically to hide the fact that you actually don't know the dance.

July 1 in southwest Michigan (Zone 5) and bees still taking syrup. Can I stop giving it to them?
Background: 2 first year hives, 5 weeks old. One doing well, just added 2nd deep yesterday and they have been taking syrup consistently... half a gallon a week. 2nd hive struggling some but starting to catch up. They stopped taking syrup after 2 weeks though I've made it avaialble to them. They might be taking a little syrup. Hope to add 2nd deep in a week or two.
Should I continue to feed or is it time for them to rely only on nectar?

Dan Gale, one of the five original founding members of the National Corvette Museum, and arguably the driving force behind its creation, suffered a stroke on September 22, and passed away on October 4 in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
It is widely agreed that without Dans efforts, the dream of a museum dedicated exclusively to the Corvette would never have become a reality. His zeal for the project was so extreme that he left his home in Massachusetts and spent three years in a Bowling Green motel, pushing the project along on a fulltime basis.
Ralph Kramer, public relations director for Chevrolet from 1986 to 1993, spoke of Dans genius in building the NCM Annex in a Bowling Green shopping center in 1990. It gave a sense of reality to the dream and kept everyone focused on the goal.
Dan was the first vice president of the museums Foundation, and succeeded Ray Bataglini as president in 1993. He served on the board of directors from 1988 to 1995, part of that time as its president.
Museum Director Wendell Strode attended the funeral, bringing with him the heartfelt condolences of the entire Corvette community. He commented, Dan had a deep love for the National Corvette Museum. While other Corvette enthusiasts were involved in the concept of a library, archives, and museum, it was Dans enthusiasm, creativity, work ethic, determination, resourcefulness, untiring efforts, and plainspoken style that turned an idea into a crusade, into The National Corvette Museum. This is the legacy that Dan Gale leaves to Corvette enthusiasts and the one we should all remember him by.
Our deepest sympathy to his wife of 23 years, Karen, and children Heather, Darrin, Peter, and Chris.
Rest in peace, Dan.

Any direction you guys could give me I would greatly appreciate it. Keep in mind; I'm an absolute beginner, NO experience what-so-ever! Thanx

I did have that thought this spring when I saw the stains. I made a note not to split from them, not that they every gave the opportunity.
The way to check in a colony like this is to look at previously used brood cells and see how many of them have mite droppings. If you hold the comb so the sun is coming over your shoulder and the comb is tilted so you can see the upper sides of the cells, that will tell you the most. I have only seen that type problem with bees that had serious tracheal mite problems. The key is the splitting of the cluster. When bees avoid each other in the hive, it is always for a reason.

There is sugar all over everything, it's kind of hard to see mite feces, but I'll look when I get a chance.
Huh? Where did the sugar come from?
Mark Berninghausen
Fed it then tore the hive apart before they ate it. It's in the pictures though it's worse since I put the frames back in.

Qualification for the World Cup play-off is achieved over six games, but a win for the All Whites against the Solomon Islands in Auckland on Tuesday night will well and truly put them in the box seat.
The All Whites opened the next phase of World Cup qualifiers with an important 2-0 win over New Caledonia on Friday night - the same team that beat them in the semifinals at June's Oceania Nations Cup in the Solomon Islands - and they take on a Bonitos side who beat Nations Cup winners Tahiti by the same score in their opening match.
If they can win at North Harbour Stadium, the All Whites will be the only side with a perfect record after two games and will fancy their chances of eventually moving through to tackle the fourth-best side from North and Central America to play off for a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Ricki Herbert's side know they can't assume anything - that was brought into sharp focus in Honiara - but a few things have changed from those dark days.
A home-and-away format suits them much more than a tournament like the Oceania Nations Cup, and they have considerably more depth than the island sides as well as experience of the travel demands.
"It was a good professional effort," Herbert said of Friday night's win. "Everybody dug deep and we probably could have won by a few more. It was a good solid start, good three points and another three on Tuesday and I think you are in the driving seat."
Defenders Winston Reid (hamstring) and Tommy Smith (bruised foot) have niggles but both are expected to be available on Tuesday. The rest of the squad are otherwise fit and their confidence will have improved after the bruising it took in Honiara.
While the All Whites were confident of success against New Caledonia, there would have been some residual doubts lingering from June and a convincing win after goals to Shane Smeltz and Chris Wood would have eased fears.
"We had to really focus," skipper Ryan Nelsen said. "What happened in the Solomon Islands happened, that's life, but we refocused and we have to think about the big picture now and that's the World Cup campaign. The island nations have always been very athletic but they are organised now.
"They are tough teams, tough games now." APNZ

Earlier today, a coworker asked me to give him some help because he
was no longer able to commit to the cvs repository. Didn't have
permission or somesuch.
I check several things on our repository server. Yep, he's part of that group, yep, that project has the right ownership and right permissions, yep, the partition hasn't randomly filled up.
So i sit down in front of his terminal, and he mentions casually that he's been toying around with ksh. Huh?
Given that, i check to see if the alias he was trying to use even existed. It didn't.
"Yeah, and a bit with tcsch, too."
This was met with a full-on eyebrow raising.
So i logged him out of his current shell. And was dropped into another one.
Then i did it again. This time i received the prompt "[\U][\w]:", which was darkly amusing.
Again. I get a "%". Cute.
Again. Again. Again, cycling through a couple permutations of the prompt, and again. Until i had finally managed to get back to his original login shell.
I counted up and realized he had nested over ten shells deep away from his original login. I looked askance in his general direction.
He grinned, a bit embarassed, and waved me away, thanking me and offering assurance that he wouldn't run off into shell-land like that again.
Which wasn't really what i wanted, but hey.
Ten nested shells!

There's a lot of posts in this thread and I'm sorry I didn't have the time to go through it, but is anyone else concerned that his lack of play time is changing his style of running? He seemed to be a lot more patient than he is now, and it also feels like he takes every ball out of the end zone on kick returns that he can regardless of whether it's a smart play. (yet I still get excited anyway seeing him take off)
Not bashing the guy because I like the spirit, but I want him to develop into the exciting home run hitter a lot of us were hoping for when we drafted him. Part of those big plays is being able to hang out for a block to develop before hitting the jets...
One thing that hurts wilson is the fact that out of his 39 snaps on the season he has carried the ball or been the target on 33 of them. How much success can a guy have when the entire building KNOWS hes gonna get the ball? This one is on the coaches. Remember when they would put Sinorice Moss in once a game and theyd throw the quick screen to him? Every time? You need to give the defense a different look. Throw some quick passes with Wilson in there if u dont trust his blocking, but u need to have variety. Play action perhaps? Not saying the kid is barry sanders, but its not helping to be so consistent with the play calling.
This is old but I like his energy.
That being said I think he can have a big game against the Saints but unfortunately they will probably give him like 3 carries.
his cleat came off...lol
I just finished watching the highlights.
I wasn't aware that Wilson follows his blockers, breaks tackles, has great balance, and makes big plays when given the opportunity.
I got the impression that Wilson was only good at running the 40 yard dash after reading these forums.

Peter & Shannyn – Thursday, December 12
Today Veggie Tales Co-Creator Mike Nawrocki (aka Larry the Cucumber) joined us to talk about the new Veggie Tale DVD Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas.
Shannyn's Chocolate Truffles Recipe
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate (high quality, 62% cacao or higher), well chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
- Cocoa powder
- Place chocolate in a bowl and refrigerate.
- In a small, heavy saucepan bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer (this may take a while, be sure to stir and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula every few minutes).
- Retrieve chocolate from fridge, pour cream over chocolate, folding from outside to in slowly. Allow to stand for a few minutes then stir until smooth. (This chocolate base is called ganache.)
- Allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove and with a teaspoon roll out balls of the ganache. Roll in your hands quickly (as it will melt from the heat of your hands) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Roll chocolate balls in cocoa powder place back in the refrigerator until needed.
Makes 30-40 truffles

This year before moving 500 hives South. We pulled and extracted the honey suppers.
We averaged about 30 pounds of honey per hive this poor year. Our normal pull from the same areas is about 95 pounds per hive.
I think that this year for me was a bust as far as honey. With 500 hives that is only 15,000 pounds. The norm for these areas is between 47,000 pounds and 50,000 pounds of honey. I could have gotten more if I could have left the hives for annother week but I had contracts to fill.

How to avoid the freshman 15
Tips to prevent weight gain in college
Every high school student has heard about the "freshman 15" -- the 15 extra pounds that college freshman typically gain during their first year of college.
This is hardly surprising considering that college can be quite a life altering experience. For the first time, you have the chance to make your own choices. If those choices aren't healthy ones, you may find your pants getting a little tighter and the number on the scales beginning to rise. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid the freshman 15.
Eat A Healthy Breakfast
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. A healthy breakfast keeps you full and focused. More importantly, it can help you avoid weight gain. According to LifeBalance.com.au, eating breakfast each morning can increase your metabolic rate, which can help you better burn calories throughout the day.
Always Carry Healthy Snacks
Hunger pains can creep up on you, especially when your nose is buried in a book for hours. Instead of rushing to the nearest snack machine, reach into your backpack for a healthy snack. High fiber and high protein snacks are great options because they keep you full and help keep you alert. According to WebMD.com, females between the ages 19-50 should have 25 grams of fiber per day, while males of the same age should have 38 grams. Snacks are a wonderful way to meet your daily fiber requirements.
Exercise Between Classes
You may only have 15-30 minutes between classes, but that is just enough time to work out. You can get a quick workout on the stairs, walk instead of driving to your next class, or even head to the campus gym. According to HealthStatus.com, 15 minutes of walking up stairs can burn 115 calories from someone who weighs 125 pounds. If you do this in between all your classes, you could burn quite a few calories.
Learn About Living Healthier
Whether you do your research online, hit the library, or take a personal enrichment course, it's important to learn about being healthy. It can be a lot of information to take in, and by no means should you try to learn everything at once. Instead, start out learning about the food pyramid. Yes, this is something you learned about in elementary school, but most people have forgotten the basics. Next, take a yoga class or any other health enrichment course that appeals to you. According to the MayoClinic.com, yoga can actually reduce stress, which is excellent for college students.
Cook Your Own Meals
College cafeterias aren't known for their nutritious meals. A quick calculation of a typical college cafeteria meal including a cheeseburger, French fries and soda on sp.uconn.edu shows that this meal has over 1,000 calories and 48 grams of fat. Even if you live in a dorm room and only have a microwave, it's possible to make healthier meals yourself. Buy an easy recipe book or keep things simple by preparing salads. Either way, staying away from the cafeteria is a great way to avoid the freshman 15.

Swimming pools are the ultimate summer accessory, but there's a lot you need to consider before splashing out on one
New Zealand is a nation obsessed by water, which isn't surprising as we're surrounded by the stuff. What is more surprising is that given the close proximity to beaches of pretty much everyone in the country, we are still so enamoured by swimming pools.
Having a cooling backyard pool to plunge into on a hot summer's days (let's hope we get some this year) is a quintessential Kiwi dream . . . all be it an expensive and time-consuming one. If you're planning on splashing out on a new pool this summer, here's some info to help you make the best decision.
Even the smallest pool will take up a lot of space on your property, especially when you take council regulations into account. Larry Ogden of Cascade Pools explains.
"There will be different council regulations on distance from site boundaries. Usually 3.0m from a rear boundary and 1.2m from side boundaries, but every council may have different District Plans, so it pays to check before you start
thinking about where the pool will be installed."
The rule of thumb is that a pool should allow for 5sqmper user, so for a family of four, the pool will probably be around 4.5m x 9m. Once the pool surrounds are taken into consideration, the land requirement for a pool is likely to be about 130sq m.
Swimming pools can be made from a range of different materials, and each has its own pros and cons.
The cheapest pools on the market are the above-ground, "Para Pool" variety. Made from vinyl and steel, above-ground pools are an excellent option for those on a tight budget.
Paramount Pools (the original "Para Pools" manufacturers) have a range of above-ground pools ranging in price from $5000 to $9500. You can choose to install the pool yourself, or they can install it for you. Vinyl pools can also be
installed in ground, but this more expensive.
Fibreglass pools the most common in-ground option. They are molded to shape then installed in the ground after a hole is dug and appropriate plumbing laid. Fibreglass is a more durable product that vinyl, but more expensive; between $30,000 and $50,000 for an average-sized pool.
Concrete pools allow for greater options when it comes to shape and size. These bespoke pools are the most expensive option, with pools costing upwards of $50,000. Concrete for these pools is poured after a frawework grid is built into the hole dug by the construction crew. These pools are very durable and can have a range of finishes,
including tiles and aggregates.
These are the rock stars of the pool world, and you'll be paying up to $120,000 for the completed pool and landscaping.
Sanitisers are essential for preventing the growth of dangerous bacteria, which could lead to infections. Bacteria are controlled through use of a sanitisation technique, coupled with a filter that removes the dead bacteria. Chlorine is the most widely used pool sanitiser, and is available in a number of forms.
Granular chlorine is cheap and easy to use; liquid chlorine is also cheap, and is less likely to cloud the pool granular chlorine. Both need to be applied manually.
Salt water chlorination uses a device to transform salt into chlorine, which then cleans your pool. Although these are expensive initially (around $1500), you will save money in the long term and the devices automatically balance the
pool's pH levels.
Concerns about the health consequences of chlorine (and the fact it turns your hair green) has lead to the development of alternative pool treatments, such as ozone technology. Ozone is a powerful steriliser that destroys bacteria.
Ozone generators for pools produce ozone in the water, and keep the water clean and safe; they also balance the pH level of the pool, and they cost around $2500.
Unless you're rich and famous, chances are you're not going to be able the afford services of a hot Latin pool boy to keep your water sparkling.
Upkeep of swimming pools can be time consuming, so before your make a decision to install one, it's good to know what you're letting yourself in for.
If you have a chlorine pool, every day when the pool is in use you will need to:
Make sure the pH level is within the 7.2-7.8 range daily before use. Anything above this range will cause calcium to form on the pool tiles anything below will be very acidic. Sodium bicarbonate is great to maintaining the right pH
level in your pool.
Run the pool filter for at least ten hours a day.
Check the chlorine level and add chlorine as needed.
Skim the pool to remove leaves and other debris.
You will also need to vacuum the pool, check for algae, back wash the pool's filter
While water can be fun, it can also be a killer. Keeping your pool safe for friends and family to enjoy should always be your top priority. Here are some useful tips from Water Safety New Zealand.
Every pool should have some safety signage, with the pool rules clearly displayed. The rules should include such things as ''no running around pool'', ''all children under 8 must be supervised'', and ''nonswimmers, don't go over your depth''.
It is a legal requirement that all swimming pools in New Zealand be enclosed by a fence that is at least 1.2m high. There should be no gaps in this fence, and have gates that are self-latching.
Young children should always be supervised by an adult. It just takes a few minutes for a small child to drown, so make sure you are vigilant and not distracted by anything.
Hazardous pool chemicals like chlorine should always be stored in a safe place.
See www.watersafety.org.nz for more safety information.

Reader poll
Do you think recreational pot shops should be allowed in the same areas where liquor stores are allowed?
- Yes. 55%
- No. 42%
- I don't know. 3%
921 total votes.
Steamboat Springs When they were deciding Tuesday night where recreational pot shops should be allowed to open up in Steamboat Springs, some city officials and council members here pointed to a city on the Interstate 70 corridor as the one place they don't want to become.
Glenwood Springs features too many dispensaries in its downtown, they said.
When medical marijuana dispensaries first started popping up, Nancy Page said she was concerned. Page, who manages an art gallery in downtown Glenwood, asked the city council there in 2010 to temporarily ban them from the commercial district until better regulations could be drafted.
"I was just worried it would keep visitors and customers away," she said about the dispensaries.
Although she said it still feels "icky" to have so many around in the commercial district, she hasn't seen her worries come true. The tourists have kept coming, she said, and years have gone by without too many complaints.
"I personally don't see a big negative impact from it," she said Friday. "I almost wish I didn't have to say that."
Still, the coexistence hasn't been perfect.
A quick Google Search shows at least four dispensaries in the downtown area.
Page said businesses that neighbor those dispensaries still have shared some complaints, and one dispensary ruffled some feathers when the owner put out a sandwich board sign advertising its "flavors of the day."
The sign since has been removed.
Some business owners dislike having dispensaries so visible in the city.
Dennis Bader, who owns a flower shop downtown, said he hears from customers who are shocked and surprised to see the dispensaries.
"I don't think it's a good image right on your main street," he said.
Members of the Steamboat Springs City Council on Tuesday night mostly agreed.
Visitors to Glenwood Springs come over a bridge on Grand Avenue and immediately are greeted by large signs for medical marijuana dispensaries in the downtown corridor, Public Safety Director Joel Rae said.
He questioned whether it was the city's intention for that to happen and added that his biggest concern about allowing pot shops in the same downtown commercial district as liquor stores here would expose children to the message of marijuana.
In a 5-2 vote, the city council agreed with the city's recommended zoning that still will allow pot shops through a conditional-use process to apply to move into some commercial districts that line U.S. Highway 40 south and west of downtown but not in the business districts at the base of Steamboat Ski Area or downtown.
The decision came after council members Cari Hermacinski and Sonja Macys questioned why pot shops should not be allowed to apply for all of the zoning districts that accommodate liquor stores.
Council's deliberations on the zoning of pot shops illustrates the types of tough, and sometimes contentious, decisions municipalities are making across the state in regard to what kind of presence they want marijuana to have in their communities.
And many decisions are personal.
Rae said his recommendation for the zoning of pot shops stems from him being a parent and a law enforcement official.
And in Hayden, the Town Council still is grappling with whether to allow retail pot shops.
"We need to look at it as business as well as a moral issue," Town Council member Jim Folley said Thursday night after a vote to ban the shops failed. "If we wait ... is that opportunity gone?"
The Steamboat City Council's decisions Tuesday night on many aspects or marijuana regulation put the city further ahead than many towns and cities in Colorado that still are weighing what rules they will adopt to regulate recreational marijuana.
Back in Glenwood Springs, the council hasn't taken up an ordinance that will dictate the zoning of retail pot shops.
Page, who voted to legalize medical marijuana, said she hopes her city council finds a way to limit the presence of the stores.
"I just don't want to see them on every street corner," she said.
The Steamboat City Council will consider the first reading of its recreational marijuana ordinance Aug. 6.

CINCINNATI -- Angel Pagan's sensational diving catch came at a price. By the time the center fielder got back to the Giants dugout, the celebration that awaited him was perilous.
"Oh, man," the center fielder said. "I got punched. I got pushed. I got so many high fives."
If the moment was painful for Pagan, imagine what it felt like for the Cincinnati Reds, who watched the Giants make several brilliant defensive plays to cling to a 6-4 victory in Game 5 in the National League Division Series.
Two batters before Pagan, shortstop Brandon Crawford added his own rally-crushing catch. And catcher Buster Posey pulled the plug on another Reds threat by throwing out a runner trying to steal in the sixth.
"In this type of ballgame, you have to be on the top of your game. You have to be heads up on every play," Pagan said. "It was a very good ballgame for us defensively."
In terms of both style points and degree of difficulty, no play was bigger than Pagan's. The Giants led 6-3 with two out in the eighth, but the Reds had the tying run at the plate after Scott Rolen and Todd Frazier singled off reliever Santiago Casilla.
Manager Bruce Bochy summoned reliever Sergio Romo to face pinch hitter Dioner Navarro.
As the crowd of 44,142 finally made some noise, Pagan silently assessed the situation.
"I thought that Navarro was a line drive hitter, so I had to give myself an opportunity to make a play," said the center fielder, who does his own positioning. "I had to be not too shallow and not too deep."
Navarro smacked a low liner to almost straightaway center field. Because of his excellent positioning, Pagan didn't have to range to his right or left. Instead, he took off on a dead run in the direction of home plate before leaping forward to pluck Navarro's drive just inches from the turf.
When the ball smacked his glove, he did a barrel roll and popped up with his right fist already raised in celebration.
"Man, I think I got pumped up before I got there," Pagan said, "I was anticipating the play. I wanted that ball to be hit to me. That's how you make those plays: You anticipate the play."
Like Pagan's, Crawford's play depended largely on him being in the right place -- in the lineup, for example. Bochy had considered benching Crawford in favor of Joaquin Arias.
Crawford was 0 for 7 heading into Game 5, but the manager ultimately concluded that he wanted his best defensive shortstop on the field.
"I slept on it," Bochy said. "And I'm glad I stuck with him."
With one on and one out, Ryan Hanigan lined a shot to the right of Crawford, who made a graceful backhanded grab.
The shortstop said he was trying to reward the manager for letting him play with the season the line.
"Just to hear that he had that faith in me was all that I needed to hear," Crawford said.
Posey's defensive gem came not with his glove but with his arm. With runners at first and second in the sixth, Reds manager Dusty Baker put the runners in motion on a full-count pitch to Hanigan.
But Hanigan took a called strike three on the outside corner and Posey rifled the ball to third in time to get Jay Bruce, who stole nine bases during the regular season.
It wasn't close, even though Posey double-clutched on his throw. "Couldn't get the grip," Posey said.
In the end, though, the Giants defense held on.

Because of CA's economic woes, there's two different interpretations of the Prop 98 law in determining the actual amount that must legally go to education at a minimum. The legislature is saying "here's education's amount this year but we don't want to get sued if someone disagrees with our interpretation of the law so we'll put Prop 1B on the ballot".
The other interpretation results in a higher amount the State must legally give to education than what was actually given.
When we talk about cuts or losses, we have to understand what the cut is being made from. This is called the baseline. Understanding what the baseline is when someone says there's cuts is crucial to identifying if a statement is fact or spin.
Obviously, if education gets 40% of CA's budget and that budget is smaller than it was a year ago because of the economy, and if we say our baseline is what education got from CA last year then I think everyone would agree that there's been a cut to education. That's a fact.
But now what if someone suggests that the baseline is an amount that they think the State must give this year to education based upon their interpretation of Prop 98? They would call any amount less than that a cut. That is spin.
This kind of spin happens often in politics. For example, let's say for the sake of argument that $500 is spent on Medicare annually and future projected costs are $1000. So the baseline is $1000. If someone suggests holding down the rate of increase so that the future cost is $700, that's a "cut" of $300. Another politician suggest holding down the rate so that the future cost is $800. That politician's "cut" is only $200. The first guy will get accused of cutting Medicare even though the future costs are still higher than $500 and everyone will think the first guy is trying to do something bad! That's spin.
So this is what is happening with Prop 1B. Someone says that if Prop 1B doesn't pass, then CA is "cutting" education because the baseline they are using is from a different interpretation of Prop 98 than what the legislature is using. The truth is that there is no cut in relation to Prop 1B. If Prop 1B passes, education gets more money than they expected with the current State budget. If Prop 1B doesn't pass, education gets what they already are stuck with.
If Prop 1A doesn't pass, the legislature must go back to the drawing board and find somewhere else to cut. The only way more factual cuts can happen to education is if the entire amount of the State budget is less and we take 40% of that smaller number.
Seriously, this is why writing to your CA district rep is important. Let them know that you won't tolerate any more cuts to education if the State props don't pass. They need to make the cuts instead in the prison system by reforming CA's parole system for starters.

I should add, if someone interprets Prop 1B differently, I'm open so let me know.

Stacey says: They need to make the cuts instead in the prison system by reforming CA's parole system for starters.
That's spin too! By reforming the parole system, I assume Stacey means that we should release prisoners early. Perhap we should, perhaps we shouldn't. Perhaps prison guards shouldn't be paid, on average, close to $100k per year, not including other benefits, like medical, etc. I'm sure prison administrators are handsomely rewarded as well.
Perhaps we shouldn't be growing our state government in this time of a serious recession.
Perhaps increasing taxes is not the correct approach to all our ills.
Perhaps we all have to do with less.
Perhaps those that don't like it should consider moving to another state.

Spin? No, that was pure opinion, not an attempt to state opinion as fact. Nothing to say about Prop 1B?

President Obama says he is cutting taxes for the middle class and below (jury's still out on that one, but I'll accept it at face value for now). This is good for the economy because it gives an approximate raise of 25 cents per hour to each recipient of a $500 stimulus check ($500 divided by 2000 work hours per year) which each recipient is going to "plow back into the economy" to help our recovery. NOW, come back to California and we are being asked to RAISE OUR TAXES AND THE TAXES OF FUTURE GENERATIONS by voting yes on all these propositions and local parcel taxes. KAPLOWIE goes the stimulus, shot down by state legislators who are too incompetent to manage OUR tax money. It just does not make sense to approve more taxes and more spending when those who are responsible for spending our taxes have no conscience and no control when it comes to the spending. Don't be fooled or intimidated by the deep pockets of those who would have you vote yes...if it was your money (hmmm, it is your money!) you wouldn't be spending more than you take in every week! VOTE NO AS MANY TIMES AS LEGALLY POSSIBLE AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE IN SACRAMENTO AND WASHINGTON, D.C. THAT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

Taxes of future generations?
The propositions (if passed) would maintain increases recently made in taxes for 1-2 years.
I'm not defending the propositions, but I think it's important to make decisions based on facts.

When was the last time you saw the temporary increase in bridge fares reduced? Why were the sales taxes maintained at 8.75% (in Pleasanton)when things were soooooo good economically speaking? You are kidding yourself if you think that our current batch of legislators (local, state, and federal) will willingly 'give back' what they have taken today to solve a problem they created in the past. I will concede that you are technically right (1-2 years), but do you REALLLY believe that? If you do, you'll probably vote yes. If you are skeptical of these incompetents in Sacramento, you will VOTE NO AS MANY TIMES AS IT IS LEGAL TO DO SO AND SEND THEM A LOUD AND CLEAR MESSAGE THAT WE ARE FED UP WITH ALL OF THIS

Simple!! to sum things up ...The Government got you again "Sheeple". They told you there was a problem with the budget and you needed to pay more or lose services. These people are corrupt incompetent bought and sold crooks. There is no problem with the budget!!!! There is a problem with the people spending and overspending the peoples money. They get the unions to join them and run TV commercials to deceive and distort.......again the people get screwed!! Wake up people.....Just tell them no!!! ......then vote them out!!

WYSIWYG formating doesn't work on this posting site. Anyway,
Sounds good, and just about everyone agrees. As the old saying goes..."all politics are local". Most think their local reps. are doing a good job...it's the others that don't measure-up. Pleasanton politicians are you listening?
I am so disgusted with the inability to get good people into office. Our political campaigns and elections are a joke. What do we get to choose from...one really mindless bad dirt bag, or one that just wears a different hat?

I can remember the day I first walked into Cafe on Kohi. This small box of a coffee shop and breakfast joint, by the pedestrian crossing on the Kohimarama beachfront, came into view about the same time that I was getting saddle-sore on a waterfront bike ride.
It was nothing special to look at. But within a minute or so it would impress as a cut - no, make that several cuts - above the competition. Water glasses landed on the table about the same moment as we landed on the seats; the place was packed but the food came quickly (though care and skill had been lavished on its preparation); the staff were bright and gracious, friendly without being familiar and unbelievably professional and efficient; the scrambled eggs were dangerously good; the coffee was first-rate and arrived precisely when we had specified in relation to the food.
On subsequent visits, the experience has been unfailingly of the same high standard. Of Auckland establishments, only the evergreen Prego is so reliably and predictably flawless. It is little wonder that proprietors Scott Brown and Jackie Grant have prospered as their small empire has expanded to Rosehip in Parnell, Richmond Rd Cafe in Grey Lynn, and Takapuna Beach Cafe.
I've always hungered for the chance to sing their praises in print, but their operations have all been daytime-only and this column, perhaps arbitrarily, restricts itself to places that are open at night. Then word reached me that they had set up a bistro in St Heliers.
Not that it was easy to find. There was only the faintest trace online and the phone number number above, which is on the bill, doesn't connect yet. There wouldn't be much point in calling it though, because they'd just tell you - terribly politely - that they don't take bookings. Hell, they don't even have any signwriting on the door or windows, but you will recognise the place instantly: trust me on this.
If I was feeling pleased with myself at having got there before anyone else had heard of it, the smugness evaporated as soon as we arrived: it was packed and several people were loitering hopefully in the doorway. Fortunately, there is a splendid high slate-topped table where you can take in the view (the pohutukawa are still in bloom) while you wait for a table.
The restaurant occupies half of an uninspiring commercial building - the other half is a bank - that has been minimally though cheerfully dressed up: big faux-cane lampshades soften the straight lines and the tables and chairs are of a beautiful blond-wood veneer. The back wall is green tile and the kitchen is in full view.
The daytime menu, which starts with the muesli and blueberries, contains the signature flourishes, such as crab and chive in the scrambled eggs, that regulars at other Brown/Grant establishments will recognise. The problem I found with the evening menu was that there was not a single item on it that I didn't want to try.
A handsomely presented fish'n'chips and a burger (pulled pork, emmental, apple slaw) seemed in high demand. Small and tasty Whangamata scallops were paired with lime segments; the roasted beets came with mint and orange. Alas, the duck sausage, dressed with an oily prune and pinenut sauce, had sold out - scarcely surprising; we learned later they had served 900 meals that day.
There were stumbles: a plate of pickled, marinated and raw vegetables (radish, cucumber, mushroom) seemed scarcely worth naming as a dish even with the addition of a nice horeseradish cream, and the hazelnut gnocchi were poor - the texture closer to that of banana cake than the firm, even rubbery, bite required. But having been told of our discontent, the maitre d' showed a genuine interest in our objections (no, he didn't recognise me) and shouted us a dessert.
As to the rest, a serve of calf's fry and bacon with a wickedly buttery potato gratin showed the kitchen's effortless command of the basics. The burrata (a mozzarella derivative) demonstrated the wisdom of using the very best ingredients (in particular, oils and breads) and getting out of their way. And the desserts included a crumble with perfectly sweet-sour fresh apricots that hummed with summer.
A wine list intelligently divided into sections with user-friendly descriptions - crisp aromatic whites; elegant perfumed reds - is another of many smart touches. Get along here soon: the table is well worth the wait.
Verdict: Another triumph for Brown and Grant.

Teachers - please allow kids to email instead of printing homework
Original post made by Midtown Resident, Midtown, on Aug 25, 2013
I'm really tired of paying outrageous prices for printer ink and enriching executives who I believe should be in Jail instead. Free market systems are supposed to have competition to keep prices reasonable. Instead these thugs first sell printers below cost which in itself is a very dubious action. On top of that they have made it very hard to use refilled cartridges since many printers complain and misbehave with refilled cartridges. Also cartridges that used to carry 15-20ml of ink now only carry 5ml or less of ink. To add insult to injury, the caridges are over packaged to make them look bigger and add more trash to the landfill. Its outrageous that this kind of behaviour is legal. Don't these people have a conscience?
The least we can do is reduce our usage and if teachers could allow emailed documents, ink and paper costs would not be wasted. emailed documents are also easy to store and organize. No reason to print homework.

[Portion removed.] Can you imagine all the excuses? "I emailed it but you didn't get it?", "My computer broke." And when would the homework be due? One minute before class? And in math, the students have to scan the homework and then email it to teachers? "Our scanner broke."
a resident of Midtown
on Aug 25, 2013 at 11:57 pm
I'm not sure what your point is..
The same computer is needed to email the homework as to print it and so the same excuses apply. No difference. Homework can be due whenever it is normally due. We need to move to the computer age. Physical copies are not needed, more expensive, harder to store and find and damaging to the environment
I'm not suggesting that hand-written math homework be scanned and emailed. Paper is fine for these. No printing is required. The kids have to use paper to do the homework anyway. They can just turn it in.
Homework that is done on a computer and can me emailed makes no sense to print.

From my experience, very little homework is printed at high school. What school are you talking about?
Students have to use turnitin.com, email and memory sticks. There are deadlines, often midnight. There are also printers in the library or the math center, etc. which can be used by the students also. Much of the homework is also done on websites. One teacher will not accept homework excuses that start "My printer __"
I suggest you talk with the teachers on back to school night.

Middle school requires a lot of printing.
Laser printers are definitely cheaper than inkjet but the initial cost is higher. But why print when you can email it?

4th and 5th graders at Hays use Google Docs. My 3rd grader was allowed to email her spelling homework to her teacher last year.
Maybe you could suggest Google Docs to the middle school teachers who are assigning the printed homework. The teachers have access to plenty of tech training through the district if they aren't comfortable with the technology.

How can English teachers put comments and corrections on papers if it's on the computer? We all learned from feedback as such. There is probably a software program where they can write on it, but that's not in use.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Aug 26, 2013 at 11:29 am
Hi Old School -- a lot of people don't realize it, but there are comments features on both Microsoft Office and on Google Docs. There is also a "comments" feature which students can use/read on turnitin if they feel so inclined.
Regarding the printing issue in general, most teachers allow handwritten work. For math, science, and most history classes this is true. And the English department uses turnitin for major assignments, so really you only need to print the smaller 1-pagers and whatnot. The library also gives a number -- I forget how many -- of free prints per year, and they only cost 10 cents/page after that.
If the printer - not computer - is broken, teachers allow you to email it. If the computer is broken, they allow you and expect you to handwrite it.
a resident of Adobe-Meadow

A laser printer meets all the OP's requirements: High-upfront purchase cost representing the cost of the machine and low per-page ink cost representing the cost of the ink. You can also get black and white one's for around $100 that will print for 100's of pages ootb at fraction of the time it takes to print using inkjet. It's a great investment once your child starts middle school. Check them out at Amazon (or Frys)!
As to whether you replace paper with email, a paperless office has been promised for decades and it just doesn't work. Marking up documents is going to take the teacher a lot longer and be more painful on-line than on paper. It always seems like it's a great solution but, unless it's more efficient, it isn't. Email what works but expect to print out anything that doesn't.

Believe it or not, there are students (and families) who attend PAUSD schools and cannot afford to either own a PC and/or pay for Internet access from home. Don't assume that this is just a Tinsley student issue - because it is not.
You can't require 100% technology usage without funding that would provide all students equal access to tools that affect a student's academic grade/performance.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Aug 26, 2013 at 4:57 pm
Crescent Park Dad - I don't think people realize that families don't have internet access at home, I assume many don't have printers either. It would be nice for more teachers to give kids the option of turning things in online. But like everything else in our District, some teachers embrace technology and some don't. My kids have had teachers that assign things to be watched online with online questions to answer and have had teachers that do everything using paper.
Midtown resident - if printing things is a hardship for your family, you could ask the teachers if your student can email them their work, my son did that one night when we couldn't get our printer to work, he emailed his paper to his teacher and she printed it for him.

@Old School: Most of the English teachers in PAUSD don't write comments on papers anyway, sigh. PAUSD used to churn out excellent writers (even the potheads) because the English departments were strong and English was taught in the traditional method. Nowadays, we are surprised if we see comments on papers. There are teachers who have students trade papers and correct each other's writing, gasp! It should be part of the job description of an English teacher to write feedback on papers.

Replying to various people..
I agree that laser printers seem like a good solution. I'll check it out, thanks.
No Its not a financial hardship to me but could be to others. However, I work very hard every day, putting in long hours. I do not cheat anyone and refuse to let someone steal my hard-earned money which is simply what these printer companies are doing. A quarter of HP's revenues used to come from printer ink - one of the most expensive liquids in the world despite the fact that it only costs a few dollars a gallon to make. Of course I don't have to buy HP's printers, but other companies play the same dirty tricks. Once you buy a printer, you are a captive, to be fleeced regularly, to allow some dishonest executive to live a lavish lifestyle, at your expense.
Agreed, this is not the best forum to try to make this change. It just happened that my daughter found at the last minute on a Sunday evening when all the stores had closed, that she had to print out a homework.
I believe most of the home printing is for kids' homework so this is as good a place as any, to start. I'm not targeting schools, just asking.
I agree that paper still has a role. I wasn't suggesting doing away with paper, just allowing kids to email it in if they want to.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Although I prefer to do my grading online, many teachers instead prefer to write their comments on printed copies of papers. If the students submits their papers electronically, this means that the teachers will have to print them out, which is a lot of extra work and expense.

Kids, are children under 13 and over 3. First of all, kids arent meant to have emails because of the COPPA. No mail service permits children to have emails. Also, there is no way to type it. SCHOOLS SHOULD MAKE IT SO TYPED ASSIGNMENTS HAPPEN WHEN THE STUDENT BECOMES 13 (sorry for caps).

Hi. I am in 7th grade and i use google. My dad created the accout, not me. I use google and email the typed essays to the school without a problem. I use the school printer.
Also, @read, you know the COPPA means no collecting personal info from children under 13 [without parental consent]. It is okay if the parent makes the account because they are allowng the collection.
