|I live in Raleigh now. I don't have a tank set up yet. Maybe we all need to get together sometime!
|Feel free to message me if anyone wants Red Root Floaters. They've spread like rabbits and have covered the entire surface of my tank already! May have pond snail eggs. Free for pickup in Durham/Chapel Hill/Carrboro area (if you live sort of nearby, I'll be willing to meet you halfway), but I wouldn't say no to swap for plants that would do well in a low-tech tank.
|I have cherry shrimp not quite sure about 100
|Anyone local to RDU have any cherry shrimp? I am going to be looking for around 100.
|Rescaping my 75g, I do have a ton of Crypts and a few val up for grabs, I may have a few other things as well but will have to see once I am done with the rescape.

Looking forward to seeing a huge tank like that up and running. Let us know where we can see pics of it coming along!!
This weekend is a mess but after that things clear up for me.

Congrats on the new job. I will give you some time to get acclimated to the new job and then see what your schedule is like. Mine is hairy for a bit here between work and trying to get things prepared for the new tank. Thanks as it will be great to talk with someone that has been successful and bounce off ideas.
Have a great week.
|Sounds great just let me know when you'd like to stop by! I live in Brier Creek, I do start my new job May 4th so I will be busy after then except for the weekends but until then I have an open schedule.

Hello fellow NCers!
Hopefully I won't get in trouble for reviving this post. But I am back and looking to trade, I went on vacation a while back and lost a good portion of my collection of plants, so I am looking to trade some of the plants I currently have for some of the plants I have lost while on vacation. I currently have a thick forest or crypts in my aquarium, most of them seem to be Cryptocoryne Wendtii Bronze/Red and a few extra Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green/Florida Sunset with a more narrow leaf and some Blyxa Japonica. I also have some AR Minis that have been grown in a lower light tank for a while so they aren't as pink as those in my high light aquariums, but they should change colors shortly after being introduced into a higher light environment. I forgot to turn the heater back on a few months ago in the aquarium with the Blyxa and the AR mini so there is a tiny bit of hair algae on them.
I also have dry good available.
My new line of Estimative Index ready liquid fertilizers! These liquid fertilizers really pack a punch and come ready to use in a user friendly liquid solution, which is easy to measure and dose. Since these fertilizers are much stronger than those found in the pet stores, you only need to dose 5ml per 10 gallon, and only for high tech aquariums, low tech aquariums, depending on plant mass, can usually use a half dose. You will want to dose Macros and Micros 3 times a week and do a 50% water change at the end of each week. If you are dosing a 10 gallon aquarium with the standard 5ml dose each 500ml bottle will last roughly 33 weeks, talk about value!!! I add extra iron to my micros, something you cannot get in the store without buying a separate bottle of iron, and then that bottle of iron contains little iron in it. I usually sell these fertilizers for $9 a bottle but looking to trade. Each 5ml dose will contain the following:
K - 5.27 ppm
N - 1.69 ppm
NO3 - 7.50 ppm
P - 0.42 ppm
PO4 - 1.30 ppm
B - .06 ppm
Cu - 0.01 ppm
Fe - 1 ppm
Mg - 0.11 ppm
Mn - 0.14 ppm
Mo - 0.003 ppm
Zn - 0.03 ppm
dGH - 0.02 degrees
I also have Osmocote+ root tablet, these are the most popular root tabs in the planted aquarium hobby, but in bulk and stock up!! You should add need root tabs every 3 months and place them every 3-4 inches through out your entire substrate. These root tabs are amazing, and you will not be disappointed. I usually sell these for $8 per 100 and 50 for $5, but looking to trade for plants so now is the time to stock up!
I am also offering up some of my custom blend flake food. This is a new blend I have been working on it contains 100% veggie flakes and a variety of protein flakes, including salmon, earthworm, hearing, shrimp and many more! I usually sell this at $5 per oz, but as mention several times I am looking to trade for plants!
Whole Salmon, Halibut, Black Cod, Whole Herring , Whole Shrimp, Whole Krill, Halibut, Seafood Mix (Including Krill, Rockfish, & Shrimp), Fresh Earthworms, Dried Brine-Shrimp, Salmon Meal, Seaweed, Spirulina, Carrots, Squash, Spinach. Vegetable oils, Soy Meal, vitamin & mineral supplement, Wheat Flour, Soy Flour, Wheat Gluten, Fresh Kelp, Lecithin, Astaxanthin, L-Ascorbyl-2-Phosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Natural and Artificial Colors, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement.
I am also overstocked on frozen food from Hikari, I have bloodworms and kill packs, these are all fresh, have not been sitting in the freezer for ages so you will be getting the best quality! I have 13 packs of bloodworms and 4 packs of kill. For those of you that don't know Hikari has a triple sterilization process which pretty much guarantee your frozen food will be free of pests, unwanted bacteria, and diseases.
For all you cichlid lovers out there I have some left cichlid food I no longer need:
Ken's medicated garlic sticks.
This is for treatments of protozoans. The stick has garlic to mask the bitterness of the metronidazole and the added ingredient of spirulina. We have now added Probiotics to this mix to aid in the digestion and the breakdown of the food.
Ingredients: salmon meal, dried brewer's yeast, soy flour, wheat flour, oat flour, corn gluten meal, dried spirulina algae, garlic, shrimp meal, dried krill, fish oil, paprika, lecithin, vitamin supplements a, d3, b12, biotin, metronidazole, natural coloring, ascorbic acid (source of vitamin c).
Guaranteed analysis: crude protein 45.0% min., crude fat 4.0% max., crude fiber 3.2% max., moisture 8.0% max. All natural ingredients, except for some artificial coloring. No preservatives.
Directions for use: Feed twice daily for 6 days. Should be the only food fed for the full 6 day cycle.
Floating Omega One floating cichlid pellets, these are my favorite pellets because they contain NO fish meal, shrimp meal or any sort of mystery meat found in practically every other food. I have a tad under 2 pounds of it.
Some of the plants I am looking to get are:
Staurogyne Repens - looking for about 20-25
Pogostemon Helferi - looking for around ten
Glossostigma elatinoides - A good sized handful would be nice, I'll include a picture of the handfuls I used to RAOK
Linmophila Aromatica - About 4-5 stems
Ludwigia senegalensis - About 4-5 stems
Here are what the crypts look like, don't mind the extra red hue, it's from the LED I am currently running:
What I believe to be Crytocoryne Wendtii Green or it may be Florida Sunset:
Ar Mini:
I am looking to get about this much glosso:

text: Search and Rescue Posse The sheriff's office continues to pursue re-organization and has now consolidated outside volunteer search and rescue teams into one unified PCSO Search and Rescue Posse. This posse is separate and distinct from the law enforcement Posse and shall only be granted authority for search and rescue functions. Two volunteer groups have been operating as independent organizations outside of the sheriff's office. They have operated outside the Sheriff's Office and respond when called by the sheriff's office. On December 1, 2009, all search and rescue operations shall function within the sheriff's office, where emergency rescue response will be coordinated under one unified command, rather than three distinct organizations. The sheriff's office has decided to follow the models of county SAR teams from across the nation by reorganizing into Pinal County Search and Rescue Posse. These volunteers will now be covered by the sheriff's office liability insurance for all rescue missions and training. In the past, these volunteer groups have focused many hours on raising contributions to fund their training and equipment purchases. The sheriff's office will now assume some of these expenses, which shall allow for focus on training and actual search and rescue missions. These progressive reforms are designed to modernize operations and improve public safety. Visit the SAR Posse Page www.superstitionmountainsrescue.org The SAR Posse functions as a tight-knit, versatile team of volunteers. The unit specializes in providing a highly effective Man-Tracking and K9 Search and Rescue resource for the citizens of Pinal County and the State of Arizona. The SAR Posse is skilled in wilderness first aid, orienteering and land navigation, technical rescue, desert survival and consists of individuals who attained certification as NASAR SAR Tech II Rescue Technicians. These skills enable team members to safely and efficiently search for overdue hikers, individuals who may have encountered wilderness related problems or those who may have wandered away due to physical, emotional or diminished mental capacities. The SAR Posse has responded to requests for assistance from the Gila River Indian Nation, Tohono O'Odham Indian Nation, FBI, INS, Arizona Department of Emergency Services and various Sheriff's Departments from throughout the state of Arizona. The SAR Posse is a team of dedicated 'Volunteer Search and Rescue Professionals', who enjoy volunteering their time so, 'That Others May Live'.

Bit-Gamer launch competition
Posted on 13th Dec 2010 at 11:06 by Joe Martin with 32 comments
One other thing that's changed but which you might not have noticed yet is that bit-gamer has its own Twitter account now too – which is important because we're going to start doing regular prize draws and competitions using it. More on that in a minute.
Bit-tech's games content has changed a lot since I joined the company almost five years ago. We've changed our review style and the length of our articles, not to mention the type of games and platforms we cover. This last two years especially has seen a number of changes to bit-tech's games content, with new writers working on the site and a renewed focus on features and previews. Some of my favourite articles we've ever done have been written in the last year, for example, while today sees the introduction of a new regular column, Critical Hit.

Any suggestions!?!?

What is in this article?:
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
')})(); //-->
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
The box should had been replaced and set properly at the edge of the extented 2x4 and the use a plaster ring to meet the outer edge of the finished wall. If there was an electrician involved that electrician should had known better, and not to cut corners. Obviously the electrician involved doesn't know dittle about the NEC.
Looks like a mud box was used instead of a box and plaster ring. Violation of 110.3B
The face of the box should have been brought out flush as code requires. It appears that this is a remodel (looks like a k/o plug in thebottom left of the box.) It could have been brought out with an extension.
What about that wiring behind the switch? Doesn't look like it meets the requirement of 110.12: "Equipment shall be installed in a neat and workman like manner".
The question should be:"What's right about this installation?" Box depth is the least of this installer's sins(wont call him/her an electrician). The rat's nest behind the switch is much more alarming.
It needs extention ring for thedevice because of combustionable material it is hard to tell but maybe box fill is an issue.
Besides the setback violation it looks like the box may have too many conductors for its size.
Someone painted the switch which is not a violation but may impede its operation
314.20 states. In walls and ceilings constructed of wood or other combustible surface material, boxes, plaster rings,extension rings, or listed extenders shall be flush with the finished surface or project therefrom.
Besides 314.20 it also looks like the box is a masonary box which is not listed for that installation.
You all are making assumption's, correct there is over spray on everything that makes this installation look in progress. Since everyone else is guessing I will too, I think that it is a remodel on a old structure were they did use a 2 gang masonry box on the original installation. Now that they have furd out the wall there will need to be an extension ring of some sort installed, with the ring installed, box fill should not be and issue.

OK let's get this right out in the open, I'm new so don't El Cabong me for the question.
I've read many posts that talk about dropped comb when the weather warms up. I've read that beekeepers use popsicle sticks, and paint sticks and foundation and strips of wax as starter strips to suggest to the bees where we would like them to build their comb. I wondered whether anyone had ever tried using #8 screen as a starter strip. My thinking is that the wax would surround the wire and stay up. Is that a dumb idea or could this be a viable option?

Truckee softball | Youthful Wolverines improving every day
April 4, 2013
Judging by its positive attitude, one would never guess the Truckee softball team endured such a rocky start.
After losing from last year's team eight seniors to graduation, leaving the Wolverines with few returners, Truckee's second-year head coach was asked by the school to step down several games into the season, while five players from the original roster quit.
That left the Truckee squad with a lineup full of underclassmen, mostly from junior varsity, with 16-year-old junior Diana Rosas as the elder statesman. The rest of the team are freshmen and sophomores.
Yet they remain upbeat, said new head coach Paul Szekely, who took over in mid March.
"We have about as young of a varsity team as we could put on a field. But they're great," Szekely said. "They're good ballplayers, they have great enthusiasm and they're always smiling and getting along. They're a wonderful group of girls, and they have a great attitude."
They can play, too, Szekely said, although they've had a rough go competing against junior- and senior-heavy teams from traditionally successful programs. The Wolverines are off to a 1-10 start overall, but they improve every day, Szekely said.
"They play well together and they have talent. They're just young, that's it," he said.
Without junior left-hander Breanna Weber — the team's ace pitcher last year and at the start of this season — sophomore Sylvia Soto has taken over as the No. 1 starter. Szekely said Soto has a good fastball, in the 60 mph range, as well as a few other pitches. Jana Venegras and Monse Islas, both sophomores, are also capable pitchers.
The batting order remains a work in progress as Szekely continues to learn about his young team. He said Karina Nienez, who catches and plays shortstop, is leadoff. Sure-handed first baseman Olivia Mousaw bats second and is followed by left fielder Addela Ortiz in the third slot, freshman shortstop and catcher Katie Fisher in the cleanup hole, and Rosas, a third baseman, batting fifth.
Soto, who's been swinging a "hot bat" — and has some power behind it, along with Ortiz and Fisher, Szekely said — Venegras, Islas and Marisol Rocha round out the order. Other Wolverines on the roster include Taylor Pugh, Madison Haley, Erika Demyanento, Linda Mora, Josey Jallregui and Makenna Pulsen. Rosa and Fisher are team captains.
The Truckee squad is scheduled to host a Mount Rose League doubleheader against North Tahoe on Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Weather permitting, the games will be played at Truckee River Regional Park.

Alma Plaza Planning (More thoughts)
Original post made by Rick, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Apr 9, 2007
If a good, competative, large store dosen't come to 'Alma Plaza the south and west Palo Alto residents need to get together and demand bus service to the Mt View, SanAntonia shopping area. Demand it from the VTA and/or city of Palo Alto and or city of Mt View or all working together to get a frequent shuttle service for maybe a small fee. It would save car trips, lower traffic reduce CO2 ,etc.
The Safeway in Midtown is a nice store ,but is small, limited parking and miles from south and west Palo Alto.

Safeway in Midtown is not what I would call a "nice" store. I go there frequently for trips of $50 or less. Yesterday, for example, I was there mid morning. There was no yellow top milk, no burgers and no brocolli, all items I had to buy on that trip. The parking is bad, I wasn't sure which white lines I was to use in the only spot I could find in the direction I was driving, and I had to contend with delivery trucks blocking the exit as I left, and as for the amount of blockages in the aisles. There were several shelf fillers blocking the shelves I was looking at and what I can only call impulse buy displays destroying the flow of what was a busy Monday morning of shoppers.
How can other stores (even other Safeway stores) get their acts together so that the store is left for the shoppers and get the deliveries done before the rush.

I doubt that Albertson's or any major chain supermarket will want to come into Alma Plaza because of the size and location. The market that you will get (if you can get one) will be some kind of specialty market, that will probably be overpriced and not carry all the essentials. AS for other stores in the new Alma Plaza--who knows?? The neighbors want "neighborhood serving" shops, but who knows if anyone will wantto take the financial risk to open in Alma Plaza.
The neighbors blew a chance big time a few years back to have a nice sized Albertson's at that location thanks to their nitpicking and the efforts of a "neighborhood leader" who managed to get Alma Plaza included in a Charleston corridor building moratorium.
The question is will the City Council be willing to finally make a decision on this matter at the meeting this coming monday or will it be postponed yet again due to either: 1) the council not wanting to upset anyone or 2) it is not about climate change so the mayor is not interested (can't deal with city issues, I have to run to another photo op says Yoriko)

fly around with the best of em as well...another starbucks is always okay,....

A few years ago a couple dozen neighbors objected to a large Albertson. This was a excuse used by the council to not allow anything to be done obviously with the intention of driving Albertsons out of town (Its not a local developer with the right connections) and the connected developer could buy it and would be allowed to develop whatever he, they, wanted to make the most profit. This is my opinion. When does a few dozen neighbors ever have such control over a regional shopping area or anything else that happens in the city? Did a few dozen neighbors stop the 800 High St. project? Housing has long been planned for the Hiyett (sp)Motel site. It was rezoned to housing long before the issue of losing the Motel came up. The Sun site was rezoned to essentiall a high density housing site without any consideration of using the site as a Auto Dealership (s), tax generating site. Moving the Alma Substation at a cost to utility users and the city of possibly $10 million dollars to make way for $1000 sq/ft low cost/income housing for the minimum wage workers in downtown Palo Alto is apparently in the process without any public notice/debate/input. I wonder why the utility rates are going up.
Alma Plaza must be zoned retaill!!! on the ground floor with all ground floor for shoppers use!!! 1000's of residents will be affected if it is not kept as a shopping center.

What are the bounds on "what the neighbors want"?
If the neighbors want something that isn't feasible in the marketplace, then what?
What if the neighbors don't want Blacks or Jews in the neighborhood (it did happen once in America) then what?
What if the town needs a new police station and no neighbors want it next to them, then what?
I thought the general process was that the concerns of neighborhoods are balanced against the concerns of the City and, soemtimes, the broader region. I think the neighbors are always "heard" in PA by the City Council.
Are the rules that the Council always should do what the neighbors want? Are there any bounds?

I was always under the impression that if you buy a home near a school, you know what you are letting yourself in for. Likewise if you buy a home near a railroad, you expect noise, etc. Shouldn't it be that if you buy a home near a shopping plaza, you expect it to change and affect you in some way. Some people may think any of these things are pluses when buying a home, others may feel they are a minus but their house prices probably reflect this. If you want to live in an urban area, then you get pluses and minuses all the time.
So I say, tough luck Alma residents. You knew what you were letting yourself in for when you moved to the area and if you didn't like it why did you move there?
A thriving residential area by definition changes. If it is stagnant in any way then it can't be considered thriving. Yes, new homes will be built to replace the older homes that are deteriorating. Yes, more traffic will appear on our streets, that's life. And yes, shopping areas will change to reflect the needs of society and the changes that time brings to retail markets.
Alma Plaza cannot stay in the 1950s in the same way that San Antonio, downtown and Stanford Shopping Centre have changed. It is life. Get used to it. You don't want to live your life with 1950s home appliances, so don't expect the neighborhood to either.

I'd put money on the developer tossing in the towel and doing a conforming project, which will likely attract a small Hispanic market and a few shops of benefit to locals, but mostly low budget specialty shops that will generate a lot more traffic then the neighbors expect.

Educational Programs
Independent Study
Independent Study provides students with an opportunity to undertake a program of supervised reading, research, or artistic production not provided within existing courses. Independent Study should not be used simply to approximate an existing course for a single student or to cover projects more properly described as an Internship.
The Independent Study option is available to students who have junior or senior standing with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.70. Transfer students must have completed one fall or spring term of study at Moravian College before taking on Independent Study. An Independent Study earns one course unit. Students may schedule no more than one Independent Study or Honors course unit in a term, to a maximum of four over the period of the junior and senior years.
Independent Study may be taken in any term, including the summer. A student may not take more than one Independent Study during the summer and must register for it no later than the beginning of the second summer session.
An Information and Approval Form describing the project and certifying that the student is eligible and qualified to undertake it must be submitted to the Office of the Provost, which decides any question concerning eligibility.
Internships are an opportunity for off-campus work, study, or both, for which a student may receive from 1 to 3 course units of credit per term for a total not to exceed 3 units of the 32 required for graduation. Internships may be taken in any term, including summer, on a full-time or part-time basis, and may assume the form of volunteer work or internships in public or private agencies, institutes, or businesses. It does not include those field experiences or internships required for completion of certain programs or majors such as education or the law and society track in sociology. The three-unit maximum on fieldwork, however, applies to the total number of units for which a student may enroll either in an elective internship or a required internship.
A faculty coordinator and an on-site supervisor share supervisory responsibility for each Internship project. Upon completion of an Internship, the faculty coordinator consults with the field supervisor and assigns a final grade.
To be eligible for an Internship, a student must have junior or senior standing with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.70. In some cases, there may be additional prerequisites for a particular Internship. A student may register for more than 2 course units of Internships in a single term or summer session only if the project involves a full-time commitment and residence off campus. A student may not continue an Internship for credit at the same placement in a later term or summer session without the permission of the associate provost. A transfer student may take an Internship only after completing one term at Moravian.
A student who wishes to undertake an Intership program must submit an Internship application form to the Office of the Provost. Complete information on procedures for Internship registration is available in the Registrar's Office.

Kid Meals Fail Good Nutrition
I dont think this will come as a huge surprise to some people but many restaurant meals designed especially for kids contain way too much salt, calories and fat. What is surprising is how loaded some of these menu items really are. No caring parent wants their child to eat unhealthy foods and probably believe that a kids menu item is going to be a reasonable amount of calories and sodium. How bad can such a smaller meal be?
According to a study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), pretty bad.
The CSPI has long monitored the publics nutritional interest. They campaigned to bar sodium nitrates in bacon and other cured meats, pushed for sodium levels to be added to all food labels, obtained funding for more government food inspectors and prompted Congress to pass a law requiring notification of the presence of food allergens such as peanuts, wheat and milk on food labels to name just a few.
Now theyve turned to restaurant kids menu items. The group found that among almost 3,500 combinations surveyed, kids meals failed to meet nutritional standards 97% of the time. Thats actually an improvement though over 2008 - when meals failed to meet standards 99% of the time. Not much of a change in 5 years.
What were some of the restaurants surveyed? Popular chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Dairy Queen, Hardee's, McDonald's, Panda Express, Perkins Family Restaurants and Popeyes.
Every kids meal fell-short of nutritional recommendations adopted by the center from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
They also didnt meet the standards set by the National Restaurant Association's Kids LiveWell Program, said the CSPI, which titled its study, "Kids' Meals: Obesity on the Menu."
"Most chains seem stuck in a time warp, serving up the same old meals based on chicken nuggets, burgers, macaroni and cheese, fries, and soda," said Margo Wootan, CSPI nutrition policy director. "It's like the restaurant industry didn't get the memo that there's a childhood obesity crisis."
One meal singled out was Applebees grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, fries and 2% chocolate milk- a popular choice with many children. The meal had 1,210 calories, 62 grams of fat, and 2,340 milligrams of sodium. Whew!
The combo meal had nearly three times as many calories as the CSPI's criteria for four- to- eight-year-olds suggest.
Ruby Tuesday offers a macaroni and cheese plate, white cheddar mashed potatoes and fruit punch combo. This meal comes in at 870 calories, 46 grams of fat and 1700 milligrams of sodium, Wootan said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that children eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of salt each day to avoid high blood pressure, which can lead to coronary disease, stroke and other ailments.
Subway restaurants were the exception with Fresh Fit for Kids meal combos that included apple slices with its smaller sub sandwiches and low-fat milk and water instead of soda. All eight of its children's meals met CSPI's nutrition criteria. A few other restaurant chains have begun to offer vegetables and fruit as a side instead of the traditional fries. Longhorn Steakhouses kids meals now come with a veggie or fruit choice.
The report also noted that when patrons could read the calorie count and nutritional information on the menu, they sometimes made healthier choices.
To produce its study, the CSPI looked at 50 top U.S. chain restaurants, finding 34 of them had meals designed for children and were willing to provide nutritional data. It analyzed those meals and meal combinations.
Many times parents take their child to a restaurant for dinner or lunch because of time constraints or as a family night out. Its fun and you dont have to wash the dishes. But parents may want to consider which restaurants are truly family friendly and check to see if the calorie, fat and sodium count are listed on the menu. Its not only a good idea for the children but for the adults too.

Pirates or freedom fighters?
MONTEVIDEO (KAH for APCNews) - In existence as a virtual community since 1990, APC's leitmotif is building and strengthening online networks for social change. The Association for Progressive Communications invites you to read our 2007 annual report. It describes the challenges encountered building networks to influence international internet policy so that more people have reliable and affordable access to the internet, networks of technicians who are taking wireless to parts of Latin America where there's no internet, and networks of women concerned about keeping the internet safe but not censored.

SAPPORO (FD for APCNews) - On July 29, free thinkers and open culture activists from around the world gathered on Hokkaidō island, Japan. What is so free and open about this venue, traditionally inhabited by the Ainu People? The fourth edition of the global ICommons ISummit, reply those converging on the island's city, Sapporo. The summit is set to "grow the commons" until August 1 and beyond, as participants – among them APC members and staff – will advocate for open content, open education, do-it-yourself video, and academic research on free culture.

JOHANNESBURG (Alan Finlay for APCNews) - Privatisation without regulation does not necessarily improve service delivery, and may even decrease access to information and communication technology for the poor. This is the view of US-based academic and ICT policy analyst Robert Horwitz, who was speaking at a one-week research workshop held in Johannesburg in July 2008. Horwitz is no newcomer to South Africa, or to the politics behind antennas, cables and wires. More >>
JOHANNESBURG (Natalie Brown for APCNews) - As new copyright laws attempt to keep pace with the shifting landscape of digital cultural production, legal restrictions on media use and distribution are being championed by heavyweights in the global media industry. This has led to the web of restrictions on media consumption becoming denser. Civil society network APC hopes to re-shape the discourse surrounding piracy by providing a thoroughly researched, credible alternative to the industry's data. More >>

Louisiana Tech head football coach Sonny Dykes. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Monday, December 03, 2012 6:43 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
Usually you get what you deserve, and most of the time you deserve what you get.
Louisiana Tech is the perfect example of this, as is Northern Illinois.
Both are part of the big story for the bowl season. They came about their places from totally different angles.
Northern Illinois became the true Cinderella story, learning Sunday that dreams can come true. The Huskies will play Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
NIU deserves the honor after years of playing all comers when asked and putting a spotlight on a program that has been trying for the better part of a decade to rub elbows with the big boys.
This feels more like a life-time achievement award, but I think they will put up a better showing than Clemson did when it got torched by West Virginia for 70 last year.
Be careful what you wish for, Huskie fans, this glass slipper is likely to lead to corns on your feet. But hey, at least you are playing in a bowl game, and a big one at that.
All the Louisiana Tech players will be home for the holidays. For that, they have nobody to blame but their own school officials.
For most of the season it looked like the Bulldogs would be the ones to break through that BCS bubble. They were 9-1 and climbing up the polls. Then, the rug was pulled out from under their feet.
The fall proved to be fast and painful.
Compared to Northern Illinois, Louisiana Tech became one of the ugly stepsisters.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the dumbest team of all?
It's Louisiana Tech that's who.
Tech had an offer to play Louisiana-Monroe in what would have been a pretty fun neighborhood battle in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport. Local teams, local flavor, sounds pretty good.
Sure beats basketball season.
But Tech officials were hoping for a bigger bowl to come calling. That never happened.
The 9-3 Bulldogs will be at home while teams with far worse records will be playing on national television. Hope they won't be waiting by the phone.
This is what happens when you think you are bigger than you actually are.
It's true, Louisiana Tech had a better season then most. And yes, they are a very exciting team to watch. But at the end of the day, they are still Louisiana Tech.
They even tried to hide their mistake, first claiming they were never invited to any bowl game then admitting they thought they had more time to make their choice.
How shocked Tech folks be that a bowl game didn't wait around to become the Bulldogs fall-back plan.
This did not go over well with at least one Tech alum.
"I am heartbroken and embarrassed that our university would do this to Tech Nation," basketball star and former Bulldog Karl Malone tweeted. "To our football and staff this is exactly what is wrong with our university.
Then, "Whoever made this decision have the (guts) to tell the guys why. As one alumni of La. Tech I want to know why."
The answer seems simple. Tech has believed it is better then all other state schools but LSU. Therefore, it never wants to share a field with Monroe.
And you thought the Hatfields and McCoys had a feud.
At least nobody got killed in this one, just a football program taking a big hit.

Title: Tech Alum
This is inexcusable. Everyone agrees on that. The fault, however, is with the independence bowl not giving them until Sunday like every other bowl did. Any team available to the I-bowl Saturday would also have been available Sunday. Also the Liberty Bowl was insane for taking 6-6 Iowa State over Tech. Their loss. Iowa State will be crushed by Tulsa in a yawner. Independence bowl took Ohio (8-4). Might be a better matchup for ULM than Tech, who would have beaten them by at least 3 TDs.

Fireside Story – Joseph's Letter Home (From JoyfulHeart.com)
Dear Mom,
We're still in Bethlehem–Mary and I and little Jesus.
There were lots of things I couldn't talk to you about last summer. You wouldn't have believed me then, but maybe I can tell you now. I hope you can understand.
You know, Mom, I've always loved Mary. You and dad used to tease me about her when she was still a girl. She and her brothers used to play on our street. Our families got together for supper. But the hardest day of my life came scarcely a year ago when I was twenty and she only fifteen. You remember that day, don't you?
The trouble started after we were betrothed and signed the marriage agreement at our engagement. That same spring Mary had left abruptly to visit her old cousin Elizabeth in Judea. She was gone three whole months. After she got back, people started wondering out loud if she were pregnant.
It was cloudy the day when I finally confronted her with the gossip. "Mary," I asked at last, "are you going to have a baby?"
Her clear brown eyes met mine. She nodded.
I didn't know what to say. "Who?" I finally stammered.
Mom, Mary and I had never acted improperly–even after we were betrothed.
Mary looked down. "Joseph," she said. "There's no way I can explain. You couldn't understand. But I want you to know I've never cared for anyone but you." She got up, gently took my hands in hers, kissed each of them as if it were the last time she would ever do that again, and then turned towards home. She must have been dying inside. I know I was.
The rest of the day I stumbled through my chores. It's a wonder I didn't hurt myself in the woodshop. At first I was angry and pounded out my frustrations on the doorframe I was making. My thoughts whirled so fast I could hardly keep my mind on my work. At last I decided just to end the marriage contract with a quiet divorce. I loved her too much to make a public scene.
I couldn't talk to you. Or anyone, for that matter. I went to bed early and tried to sleep. Her words came to me over and over. "I've never cared for anyone but you…. I've never cared for anyone but you…." How I wished I could believe her!
I don't know when I finally fell asleep. Mom, I had a dream from God. An angel of the Lord came to me. His words pulsated through my mind so intensely I can remember them as if it were yesterday.
"Joseph, son of David," he thundered, "do not fear to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."
I couldn't believe my ears, Mom. This was the answer! The angel continued, "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
The angel gripped my shoulders with his huge hands. For a long moment his gaze pierced deep within me. Just as he turned to go, I think I saw a smile on his shining face.
I sat bolt upright in bed. No sleep after that! I tossed about for a while, going over the words in my mind. Then I got up and dressed quietly so I wouldn't wake you.
I must have walked for miles beneath the moonless sky. Stars pricked the blackness like a thousand tiny pinpoints. A warm breeze blew on my face.
I sang to the Lord, Mom. Yes, me, singing, if you can imagine that. I couldn't contain my joy. I told Him that I would take Mary and care for her. I told Him I would watch over her–and the child–no matter what anyone said.
I got back just as the sun kissed the hilltops. I don't know if you still recall that morning, Mom. I can see it in my mind's eye as if it were yesterday. You were feeding the chickens, surprised to see me out. Remember?
"Sit down," I said to you. "I've got to tell you something." I took your arm and helped you find a seat on the big rock out back. "Mom," I said, "I'm going to bring Mary home as my wife. Can you help make a place for her things?"
You were silent a long time. "You do know what they're saying, don't you, son?" you said at last, your eyes glistening.
"Yes, Mom, I know."
Your voice started to rise. "If your father were still alive, he'd have some words, I'll tell you. Going about like that before you are married. Disgracing the family and all. You… you and Mary ought to be ashamed of yourselves!"
You'd never have believed me if I'd tried to explain, so I didn't. Unless the angel had spoken to you, you'd have laughed me to scorn.
"Mom, this is the right thing to do," I said.
And then I started talking to you as if I were the head of the house. "When she comes I don't want one word to her about it," I sputtered. "She's your daughter-in-law, you'll respect her. She'll need your help if she's to bear the neighbors' wagging tongues!"
I'm sorry, Mom. You didn't deserve that. You started to get up in a huff.
"Mom," I murmured, "I need you." You took my hand and got to your feet, but the fire was gone from your eyes.
"You can count on me, Joseph," you told me with a long hug. And you meant it. I never heard another word. No bride could hope for a better mother-in-law than you those next few months.
Mom, after I left you I went up the road to Mary's house and knocked. Her mother glared at me as she opened the door. Loudly, harshly she called into the house, "It's Joseph!" almost spitting out my name as she said it.
My little Mary came out cringing, as if she expected me give her the back of my hand, I suppose. Her eyes were red and puffy. I can just imagine what her parents had said.
We walked a few steps from the house. She looked so young and afraid. "Pack your things, Mary," I told her gently. "I'm taking you home to be my wife."
"Joseph!" She hugged me as tight as she could. Mom, I didn't realize she was so strong.
I told her what I'd been planning. "We'll go to Rabbi Ben-Ezer's house this week and have him perform the ceremony."
I know it was awfully sudden, Mom, but I figured the sooner we got married the better it would be for her, and me, and the baby.
"Mary, even if our friends don't come, at least you and I can pledge our love before God." I paused. "I think my Mom will be there. And maybe your friend Rebecca would come if her dad will let her. How about your parents?"
I could feel Mary's tiny frame shuddering as she sobbed quietly.
"Mary," I said. I could feel myself speaking more boldly. "No matter what anyone says about you, I'm proud you're going to be my wife. I'm going to take good care of you. I've promised God that."
She looked up.
I lowered my voice. "I had a dream last night, Mary. I saw an angel. I know."
The anguish which had gripped her face vanished. She was radiant as we turned away from the house and began to walk up the hill together.
Just then her mother ran out into the yard. "Wait," she called. She must have been listening from behind the door. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"I'll get your father," she called, almost giddy with emotion. "We," she cried as she gathered up her skirts. "We," she shouted as she began to run to find her husband. "We … are going to have a wedding!"
That's how it was, Mom. Thanks for being there for us. I'll write again soon.
Love, Joseph

Fireside Story – The Lord of the Messy Manger by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
If you think your life is an utter disaster, that God could never use a life as messed up as yours, think again. Let me point you to some familiar Bible stories.
- Joseph's brothers hate him so much that they sell him as a slave and make their father believe he has been devoured by animals, but "but God meant it for good" to save thousands from starvation.1
- Sampson lusts after a Philistine girl — not the nice Jewish girl his parents wanted for him. But the Bible says, "his father and mother did not know that this was from the Lord."2
- King Solomon's son makes a disastrous decision that loses him half the kingdom. What a mess! But God says, "This thing is from me."3
- Jacob is a liar and a cheat and has to flee for his life. He sleeps out in the open with only a rock for a pillow. But when he wakes with a vision of angels, he says, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it."4
Your life may appear well-ordered on the surface, but underneath there may be disarray. Brokenness, pain, shame. Things you seem utterly incapable of fixing.
The good news, my friend, is that God is bigger than your messy life. He is not impotent. He is not confined by your boundaries. He is God! And he is unafraid of working in messy situations. In fact, he gets a kick out of surprising us with his amazing grace.
What are your points of pain? What is the mess that you are struggling with? Maybe, just maybe, God is able to take your mess, and out of it bring blessing.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
How bad can it get? A girl gets pregnant. Her parents are utterly shamed. Her fiancé — not the father — is ready to dump her. And then he is told, "Do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."5
How bad can it get? The girl is in labor, far from home with only a cave-barn where she can lie down and have her baby. The only place to put her newborn is a manger. A cattle trough. We imagine it with fresh, fragrant straw plucked from a bale of hay. But I doubt that the cave was stocked with neat bales stacked against the wall. The straw that night was neither fresh nor fragrant. Life was a mess — but God was in it.
God sees Mary with her tiny infant and sends a host of angels to announce the birth.
"Behold, I bring you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
For unto you is born this day
in the city of David
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you:
you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths
and lying in a manger."6
The messy manger is itself a sign from God. Is your life a mess? Then let this be a sign to you.
Your very good news is that the God of the messy manger, the resurrected Christ of the cruel cross, and the Holy Spirit, in whom you live and move and have your being, are able to break through in your life, begin to clean up your mess, bless you too. And that — like the messy manger — will be a wonder all its own.

Fireside Story – The Peasant Princess by Lynette Brooks
God had been silent for a long time…or so it seemed to the people of Judea. The prophets had said centuries ago that God would send a leader, a king, a Messiah who would restore the glory of King David's throne.
The only ones that spoke about the prophets now were the priests, and that was because it was their job to do so. The Pharisees paid more attention to the Law and to the traditions. They were too busy attempting perfection in rules and regulations and measurements to be concerned about mysterious promises. The Sadducees (being the practical realists that they were) had decided that the old writings were a collection of pretty stories that had no real impact on day-to-day living. No. No one thought about those strange old prophets and their odd messages. Except…except, a faithful few scattered throughout Judea and the world. Hidden in various walks of life; they thought about them. They wondered. They believed.
A young peasant woman in Nazareth believed. Well, not exactly a peasant. After all, she and her fiancé could both claim King David himself as one of their ancient ancestors. But it had been centuries since a descendant of David had sat on a throne. There was no king in Judea now except Herod, the cruel puppet king sent by Rome. The world saw her as a peasant…..but God knew that she was a princess. God had known this young peasant princess before she had developed in her mother's womb. Perhaps He had spoken her name before the foundations of the earth were laid. God knew her. She was one of God's favorites, because she had given Him what He finds so precious; a yielded heart, an obedient spirit and a trusting mind.
The peasant princess and her fiancé were betrothed. More than engaged…more like partly married. Breaking a betrothal involved much more than canceling the caterer. It was a very serious matter. In fact, she could legally be put to death as an adulteress if she were found to be unfaithful to her betrothed. But that would never happen to her! All Nazareth knew her as an honorable young woman.
Then came the shock of her life. The SHOCK of all our lives, the Cosmic Disruption that all of time and eternity hang upon. She had a visitor with a message from God. She would miraculously become pregnant. She would give birth to a Son, the Messiah, and the One that would save His people from their sins. And despite all that it could mean in terms of her future and her happiness, she says, "Yes." God knows what it will cost her and He smiles upon His peasant princess. But it is a sad smile…because God KNOWS what it will cost her.
The peasant princess gives the message to her fiancé. He is heartbroken and bewildered. Some men would have gone into a jealous rage and would have dragged her before the village. They would have poured out their pain by publicly humiliating her before having her stoned to death. That's what the Law says to do with an adulteress; who would blame him? But he loves her. And while he also knows and loves God's Law, he also seeks God's Mercy.
God knows his pain and confusion and grants the reassurance that he needs. He may take the peasant princess as a wife. He is given the honor and the tremendous task of being stepfather to God's Own Son. He is given The Name to bestow upon the Son that is to come.
The village reacts much as you would have expected it to, the whispers and the stares, the snickering and the cold shoulders, the hurt of the families from the dishonor, and the help from those that truly love them. So when the decree came from Rome that they must go to Bethlehem to be taxed…perhaps they welcomed the opportunity and made plans to move. Perhaps the young husband planned to find work there; he was a good carpenter. Perhaps that's why he took the peasant princess with him on such a long journey when she was so near to the time to give birth. He took her with him, and she would have no mother or other female relative to guide her through that most womanly experience.
They made the long journey to Bethlehem and it was difficult for both of them. She was uncomfortable and tired. Her body was cumbersome. She could not find a comfortable position on the donkey's back as they traveled several miles a day. He was worried and tired, worried about the dangers of traveling, worried about her well being, worried about the dangers of childbirth. The angel had promised a Son…not necessarily an easy birth. They were relieved when they finally reached Bethlehem, but not for long.
Bethlehem was bursting at the seams. There was no room to be had, anywhere. No home opened to hem, no bed made available. An innkeeper allowed them to stay in his barn. Did he charge them for it? Did other poor travelers also share the animals' beds?
And the appointed time came; exactly when God knew it would happen, exactly as He had always planned. Incarnate God was born in a barn. The Word made flesh was wrapped in rags and laid in an animal's feed box. And they gave Him the Name that had been given to the husband, the NAME whereby you must be saved. He was a newborn with tiny fingers and tiny toes. The peasant princess held Him and counted His tiny fingers and tiny toes, the ritual of new mothers throughout the ages. Exhausted and exultant she held the promised Infant.
But now there were shepherds, come to tell them of a marvelous tale. Angels had appeared to them. Angels had sung, "Glory to God". Angels had told them where to find the baby. Shepherds came to gaze upon the Promise; not priests, not Pharisee, not Sadducee, not king, not ANYONE that we might have expected. But the peasant princess and the husband hadn't expected anyone. They were amazed by the reports the shepherds gave them. The bewildered couple knew where the baby came from and what to name Him. They even knew a little of why He had come. But they hadn't expected anyone else to know and so they marveled with the shepherds. And the peasant princess remembered all this.
After some time the husband and the peasant princess found somewhere to stay with the Baby. We do not know how long they stayed in Bethlehem. The Baby grew. Perhaps He was toddling when some strange visitors came, bringing costly and extravagant gifts. The visitors had first gone to Jerusalem expecting to find there the One that the sky had led them to seek. Jealous Herod was alarmed by their visit. He had killed children before, to retain his throne. No threat, no matter how small, was to be taken lightly. "Find the child and then tell me where to find Him. I want to worship too," was Herod's clever plan. But God knew Herod's heart and warned the visitors and the husband. The visitors did not return to Herod. The husband took the peasant princess and the Child and fled to Egypt, that land that He had led His people from more than centuries ago. Pharaoh once again unwittingly shelters God's Promise. And Herod, insane with rage, or coldly wicked, orders the death of baby boys. Mosaic history repeating itself in Bethlehem—just as Moses was saved but many died—just as the firstborn among the Egyptians died but the Hebrews were Passed Over—so many died now and the Child had His own Passover. Prophecy was fulfilled, as it always is. And yet again, mothers grieved for their children.
Herod failed to kill the little King. The Child grew in Egypt. And when after some time, God told the husband that Herod was dead, they returned to Nazareth. Perhaps some wounds had healed. Maybe hard hearts had softened and once again they could go home. But there would always be those who pointed fingers. There would always be those who wouldn't understand and those who refused to see. And the peasant princess kept all of these things in her heart. And the Child grew and became a carpenter like the husband. Until it was His time…..

Reviews of this property
The apartment is as described and is very nice.
Is not mentioned that there is no terrace and that the area is practically public space in front of the apartment. So there is no private space to example out to breakfast or stop it.
The specified address is not the home, but an address to the meeting of the contact person. Narrow road, barely parking.
I do not think makes sense, since there are larger parking space near where you could meet.
One can not identify the apartment by google maps to find out about the exact location and circumstances.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung und ist sehr schön.
Nicht erwähnt ist, dass es keine Terrasse gibt und dass die Fläche vor der Wohnung praktisch öffentlicher Raum ist. Es gibt also keinen privaten Platz, um z.B. draussen zu frühstücken oder sich aufzuhalten.
Die angegeben Adresse ist nicht die der Wohnung, sondern eine Adresse zum Treffen der Kontaktperson. Enge Strasse, kaum Parkmöglichkeit.
Halte ich nicht für sinnvoll, da es grösseren Parkraum in der Nähe gibt, wo man sich treffen könnte.
Man kann die Wohnung nicht per google maps identifizieren, um sich über die genaue Lage und die Gegebenheiten zu informieren.

I am a third year beekeeper and hopefully opening a bee supply business in the near future. My wife will head up the business side while I intend to stay mostly in the apiary or even better in the extracting room!
I hope to gleen from and contribute to the site. I am relatively new to keeping but I have a strong appetite for learning and applying lessons learned.
THANK YOU all in advance for a mutually beneficial conversation about our shared interest / passion of bees and all things bee related.
Thanks, BTKS

Solution 125 was most likely an experimental mix. It was most likely produced by a Sixth year student during a Potions class, being that Horace Slughorn kept it in his classroom during the sixth-years' class.[1]

Tues April 7 at 8 AM. We had to get used to the noises of 1 million people packed in such a small area, together. The building we were in was very noisy. It took us a little bit of time and effort to figure out the transit system. Even finding the train station was difficult. The streets don't follow any grid. We spend the first day together at Costa da Caparica.
April 14 2009
We drive toward Setubal from Amora. Stopped to visit and walk on a section of 200 yr old roman road with mile posts. Very cool. This was near Palmela [ we go to the Palmela Castle once before leaving.] We then stopped to visit Azeitao and a tile factory and store. Tiles are called Azeulio's. I bought some and mike takes pictures. We then drive to Lagoa de Albufeira, a beach that has a lagoon and fish farms. It is close to the 3rd castle before Lisbon at Seismbra [we didn't go to see this one. They are Templar and then Moorish and apparently the King could communicate castle to castle and know things within hours. Pretty impressive. Thursday we stop in Lisbon to get the rad fixed. We had a lovely touristy day with just Grace [teens are Bored.] and saw the castle Sao Jorge after a lovely trolley car ride. We were sure to repeat the experience again with Max and Wendy upon their return [we made sure Emma and Ben suffered thru it with Max to urge them on-while we walked around the spectacular neighbourhood. This was of course after the cork factory tour [did you know they made Cork Pants in the 60's!] and many dinners at the local " Ricks" restaurant and many beach days.
Wed April 25th
Managed to meet up with Adi a navigator sailor we met at "Ricks" We had a tour of his boat and the work he is doing on it. We get his help to fix up our care and make local connections. he was a nice friend. We had a wonderful day in Sintra even though the ancient cities narrow hilly cobblestone roads made driving tricky. Had amazing day in Sintra at the toy museum and had an amazing Indian meal which we artfully made sure contained No nuts [ Ben's allergy.]MMmm good food..
30 April we went on vacation within a vacation to Isle da Armona
Mike teased it included fee sea food.We go to the beach at the Island and the tide goes out early and everyone starts digging for clams in the tidal flats. Ben and Emma and Grace go digging for clans and clean a small bag full. they find a couple of oysters as well.
Mike waxed poetic..
From here we go to enjoy the most amazing party fair -a fieria in Spanish, in the town of Rota. Our host Jamie explains the Spanish even schedule in a holiday Monday called "hangover day." Gotta love those Spanish. We were sorry the day we left -not just because we had to leave but we were said for our friends who's dog Arf died -while we were visiting. Very Sad, Great dog. Looking forward to visit from Kelly soon.

text: We're supposed to enjoy it, have you guys been watching this team over the years? You mean to tell me backing into the playoffs then going on a run is what its all about or going 8-8 or 9-7 year in and year out and not making the post sesson at all is ok? Or YEARS of playing down to bad teams is fine, or having a Qb with a zombie like personality is cool, or a coaching staff who allows a defense to dictate to them rather than imposing there will and setting the tone, or giving these stupidaz contracts to someone like Baas or Beatty was smart, meanwhile they want me to pay $10 for hot chocolate or highaz PSA's plus parking plus money for seats to see ''this''..((this is madness you maniacs)) until the culture and climate changes this team will always be the laughing stock of the NFL

[quote user="Morehead State"]
I would be shocked if we took a TE with our first round pick to play in an offense that doesn't use the TE much.* Makes no sense at all.[/quote]
Doesnt use a TE much? Theyve been forcing UDFA and 5th rounders into 600 yard 5+ TD guys. To me thats an awful lot of use conidering the talent they have at the position has been pretty poor.

Together with a crack team of specialists in diverse fields, Micronit is developing an electronic nose to detect volatile biomarkers of early stage lung cancer in the breath of patients. Within the LCAOS project (Lung Cancer Artificial Olfactory System) novel diagnostic tools are developed to detect: (I) the presence of lung cancer, and (II) to assess the risk of a patient developing lung cancer in the future.
Current diagnostic tests are unsuitable for widespread screening because they are costly, occasionally miss tumors, are not time-efficient, nor free of complications. The electronic nose will overcome these problems by using an approach based on the detection of volatile biomarkers emitted from the lung tissue into the exhaled breath using state of the art sensor technology.
The task of Micronit is to develop the microfluidic exposure cell into which breath is pumped and where it is distributed to an array of silicon nanowire or gold nanoparticle based sensor chips. These sensor chips are manufactured by the project partners Technion (Israel) and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany) and shipped to Micronit where the assembly onto the exposure cell takes place using a room temperature flip chip bonding process. For reading out the sensors, JLM Innovation (Germany) has developed the electronics and the Universidad Complutense De Madrid (Spain) has developed a neural network and advanced pattern recognition algorithms to process the sensor data. The system will be validated by the hospitals linked to The University Of Liverpool (United Kingdom) and Tel Aviv University (Israel) with the help of a calibration gas generator and mass spectrometer from Ionimed Analytik (Austria).
With the outlook of a low-cost instrument enabling easy non-invasive screening a large group of patients will be immensely helped, improving treatment and prognosis.
For more information regarding the project please visit: http://www.lcaos.eu/
The research receives funding from the FP7-Health Program (grant agreement no. 258868).

I do think some people here are being a little hard on him, even tho he isnt my favorite prospect. But he is a right tackle or a guard.
We do realize there isnt a ton of tape of Fluker being beat because Alabama runs the ball damn near every play, and throw off play action?
Doesnt give a guy many opportunities to beat Fluker around the edge when he has to run set every play.
Fluker would be great for a team that had a lower tier QB and needed to run the ball, like the Jets, for instance. Would be misused on a team that has a top tier QB and passes a lot.

but the Dem's have their "base" thinking the "rich" are these slick wall-street guys who only care about coming up with schemes to make themselves more money off of other peoples hard work, and republicans want their "base" to think that everyone on the governments dole is some lazy person who just wants to be taken care of.
neither of those portrayals are true.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Tony Adams putting the finishing touches on the title at Highbury in 1998
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Adams v Everton (H) 05-03-1998
If anyone were ever to draw up plans for the perfect goal to cap a title-winning season, this could be it.
When relegation-threatened Everton came to Highbury in May of 1998, Arsenal were on the brink of winning their first title in seven years. And as this was the final home game of the season, the supporters at the old stadium were desperately hoping the Gunners would seal the deal that day.
They would not be disappointed.
Arsenal stormed to a three goal lead, and with one minute left it was party time at Highbury. And Tony Adams had yet to put the icing on the cake.
David Platt had just tried to put Ian Wright through on goal but Everton's goalkeeper, Thomas Myhre, raced out of his box to clear his lines with two headers. Don Hutchison collected the ball on the right flank but Platt put his foot in to knock the ball away from the Scot.
Adams, meanwhile, had been tracking an Everton player who had dropped deep looking for a pass from Hutchison. The Arsenal skipper saw his opportunity to join the attack. He stormed forward and left the loose ball to Steve Bould, who was stationed in an unfamiliar midfield position after replacing Chris Wreh.
Bould timed his pass perfectly, floating the ball over the Everton back line into the path of Adams. The captain was through on goal but one-on-one situations such as this were hardly familiar.
Adams didn't hesitate. He controlled the bouncing ball with his body and lashed a half-volley into the net. The supporters went wild and Adams held his arms high as he was mobbed by his teammates.
It was the perfect way to confirm Arsène Wenger's first Premier League title and it remains one of the most iconic moments in Arsenal's history.

The public access channel that was once called Triangle TV, (which became Stratos for a while) has now become Face TV, and it's back on the Sky network. (Channel 89)
I've kind of lost touch with the channel over the years for one reason or another, although I understand it's been running non-stop in Auckland on UHF since 1998. It emerged on Freeview and Sky again in the form of Stratos, but then disappeared again.
In any case, I'm glad that Face, nee Triangle, is back on Sky, which means it's back on my remote. It's billing itself as "the new home of public television" which is a bit rich given it's on a pay channel, but content wise, it fills a bit of the gap left behind by TVNZ7.
Triangle TV in the late 90's was a place where people who wanted to give TV a go, could have a go. You could buy half an hour for a couple of hundred bucks, which meant it was home to an incredible display of experimentation, like the early work of Matt Heath, Chris Stapp and 'Spanners Watson' who went on to become The Back Of The Y.
Then there were the demented droppings of genius squeezed out by Glen Elliot and his Boss TV crew. There were also some delightfully half-crazed bedroom broadcasters and new age nuts. I recall a particular obsession with the chilled out ramblings of Jagad Guru.
On first glance the new iteration of the channel hasn't got the same weird appeal that it had in the days when YouTube was still in its infancy - I'm guessing that's where some of the more fringe elements have found a home. In other ways that same DIY spirit is still at play today. And, as it says on their website: "Anyone can put a programme on Face TV."
While the rest of us have been moaning about what's on the TV, people like Noel Cheer, host of In Conversation, have been rolling their sleeves up making the stuff. Seemingly unconcerned with the dumbing-down that might be taking place elsewhere, Noel forges on, not underestimating the potential IQ of his viewers or their attention spans.
Last Monday's episode was bloody good. It's not flashy. Noel doesn't share Jesse Mulligan's stylist, is not sponsored by Mazda, and - I'm judgementally surmising - he is not exactly a wiz with 140 characters. But he's pretty good at asking questions. He can do conversation.
I possibly lucked out by striking the episode where his guest was the erudite Dame Anne Salmond, who has to be one of the best talking heads in the country. She's a Pakeha historian who, like Michael King, took the time to learn some Maori history from actual Maori.
She's also good with a Captain Cook yarn. We learnt that although James Cook was an enlightened captain for the first two voyages - nice to his crew, respectful to the natives - by the third voyage he'd turned nasty and his crew were even worse.
Her theory has to do with an incident when some of his men were killed and eaten by Maori. We learnt of the resulting ritual in which the surviving men put a dog on trial for murder and cannibalism, found it guilty and then ate it. (Hence the title to Salmond's award winning book The Trial of The Cannibal Dog.)
In Conversation is not a visual feast by any means, but it's good old fashioned, hand-made TV. It's content over style. I came across it by accident, while flicking around during an ad break. Can't remember what I was originally watching.
Noel's been doing this for many years now, first on Wellington regional TV and since 2007 on Stratos. According to his bio he's interviewed about 200 people for the show.
His is one of the few shows commissioned by the channel, others include: The Beatson Interview in which NZ Broadcasting stalwart David Beatson interviews political movers and shakers. (Len Brown is the guest this week)
Citizen A, in which New Zealand's favourite leftie loudmouth, Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury, hosts a political panel seasoned with generous helpings of establishment bashing.
Bomber may wear his politics on his sleeve and all over his shirt for that matter, but he's wise enough to bring in some right-wingers to spice things up. On last week's show that meant NBR's Matthew Hooton joined Green activist Keith Locke. Their conversation around Richard Prosser's 'Wogistan' brain-fart was particularly entertaining. Hooton: "I feel sorry for poor old Prosser, all he was doing was articulating the beliefs of his political party. If you're a greenie you spread the green message, if you're in New Zealand First your job is to promote hatred."
In Conversation: Monday 7pm
The Beatson Interview: Tuesday 7.30pm
Citizen A: Thursday 7.30pm
These shows are just the tip of the Face TV iceberg. You'll find their full schedule and other info here.

In today's mobile news roundup: Google and Dish to launch wireless service; Apple granted patent for page turn animation; and AT&T announced new global packages.
Google and Dish to launch wireless service
According to sources, Google and satellite TV provider Dish are in talks to launch their own wireless service that would directly compete with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and other network carriers. Though this might be good news for consumers, I advise you to not get too excited about it as the talks are not in advanced stages. It might not even happen at all. If it does happen, it may take years to reach consumers.
But why would Google be interested in entering the wireless service scene? According to Walter Piecyk, a wireless-industry analyst at research firm BTIG, Google wants people to use their services, like YouTube, for longer periods on their mobile devices, but that is being restricted by network service providers.
"From Google's perspective, it wants people to watch 10 hours of YouTube a day on their devices, and what hurts them is [wireless carriers] restricting capacity," said Piecyk.
In other Google news, the search giant is said to be in its final stages of releasing an iOS app of their Maps. The search giant has allegedly distributed a test version of their maps app for iOS to some people outside of the company and are working on the finishing touches of the app before they submit it to Apple. The app would feature turn-by-turn navigation so users could use it as a GPS.
Apple declined to comment on the rumor stating that they do not discuss apps that haven't been submitted to them. Read our initial coverage here.
Apple granted patent for "page turn" animation
Anyone who's fond of reading from Apple's iBooks has surely noticed the realistic page turning animation. With one swipe, the page turns just like when you turn a page on a real book. This animation had been available to other book apps on iOS and Android but now, Apple has been granted the patent for it. Patent number D670,713 titled "Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface," was granted to Apple.
The patent includes animation that responds to a simple swiping motion with a finger, turning the page over just as it happens on a paper book; a different swiping motion will flip the pages quickly; and a vertical finger movement will flip the page just enough to reveal what's on the next page.
This probably means the lawsuits are soon to follow. As I've mentioned earlier, there are already other apps that feature some of the the things the patent described. App developers better watch their backs.
In other Apple news, the LTE versions of the iPad mini and the 4th generation iPad are now available at Sprint stores. Meanwhile AT&T, Verizon and even Apple itself hasn't announced when they'll start carrying the LTE devices in retail stores. That's odd, you'd think that Apple would be the first to release the LTE version of the devices, right?
AT&T announced new global packages
AT&T announced new packages to suit global travelers the Travel Minutes Calling Packages, the Global Messaging 600 Package and the Wi-Fi Capabilities for Select Data Global Add-On Packages. These are discounted roaming packages for calling, texting and WiFi.
Travel Minutes Calling is ideal for those who are travelling abroad for a short period of time and are more into placing or receiving calls, while the Global Messaging Package is for those who are more fond of sending text messages, video messages or even photos, as it allows you to send 600 text, picture and video messages abroad for $60/month from more than 140 countries. See here for more details.

No suggestions .. but have a safe trip and a great time :thumbup:
There is a really nice shop in Reedsburg. Quintessinential Quilts. The name may be a little off but it's close to that and Reedsburg is about 20 minutes from the Dells if I remember right.
There is a nice quilt shop just off of Highway 94, about the 3rd exit after you hit the WI border. It's the Sew Little Time quilt shop, 596 Outpost Circle, Hudson WI. Their phone # is 715-377-4660 if you want to call for directions. They have a lot of finished quilts on display and lots of patterns in addition to the usual stuff.
Thanks , I'll have to look these up online. and plan a few stops. Daughter don't know yet.
you could do a search for shops in Wisconsin, but i would call first to make sure what hours they are open etc.
I just did a search and found this link for you, but call first to make sure they are still in business and hours
wow that link also by other states, humm, that is cool
There's a nice little shop in Sparta that I just went to earlier this spring--sorry can't remember the name though.
The Olive Juice is in LaCrosse off Exit 5--large store. JJ Stitches is outside of Madison in SunPrairie as well as a couple of other shops. Love JJS! Lots of CW repros etc.
It's late--gotta go to bed!
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, if you could come about an hour South I could take you quilt shoping in Janesville area. Quite a few down here, lol! Really though, if ya got the chance, I would LOVE to meet ya!
I have heard about JJS,supposed to bewonderful, but never been there myself!
These are all good suggestions!! I love both of these shops.Quote:

Video: Shea-Porter has constituent arrested at town-hall forum
posted at 1:20 pm on August 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
This is a curious re-election strategy, especially for a Representative who made her name by bird-dogging her former Congressman at his town-hall forums. Consistency isn't Carol Shea-Porter's strong suit, apparently, as she demonstrates in this clip from the meeting she finally held with constituents after dodging them for most of the month. When one of her constituents challenges the presence of union enforcers in the crowd, Shea-Porter asks for police intervention:
I've watched this video a couple of times, and I still can't figure out why the police took this man out of the room. He was actually less disruptive than the woman behind him. He challenged Shea-Porter on the appearance of SEIU protesters in the room, one of whom got up and disrupted his question. When the first man then challenged the residency of the SEIU rep, police swooped in and removed him.
According to Now Hampshire, they removed the man because he didn't get a Golden Ticket to allow him to speak at the meeting:
In four short years Carol Shea-Porter has evolved from a rabble-rousing, town hall disrupting anti-war activist who once had to be forcibly removed from a President George Bush event in Portsmouth to a Member of Congress who instructed armed security guards to remove a frustrated voter from her own town hall event in Manchester on Saturday.
In the appended video, Shea-Porter can be seen instructing security to remove a man for standing to ask a question without a ticket. Shea-Porter previously held a lottery to determine who could ask questions. She can also be heard taunting the man on his way out by saying, "I do hope the movie theater can be a little quieter for you."
Now Hampshire also reports that the man they removed is Carl Tomanelli — a retired policeman.
Shea-Porter heaped disparagement on "tea-baggers" who showed up to dissent on ObamaCare, which is rich with irony, considering Shea-Porter's history:
"The irony is, of course, that Shea-Porter used to be a 'tea-bagger' on the left," writes Nashua Telegraph columnist Kevin Landrigan. "She stalked then-congressman Jeb Bradley at town hall-style meetings the 1st District Republican incumbent held throughout his district."
Four years ago Carol Shea-Porter protested at the State House alongside people dressed as Nazis while accusing the federal government of trying "to brand us like sheep." On Saturday, she disparagingly referred to people who do not trust the same federal government to run our health care system as "these people."
"We remember when, Carol, do you," asks Landrigan.
But that was when she was one of the hoi polloi. Now, she's in power, and Shea-Porter doesn't deign to take questions without preselecting who can speak in her presence. And that's a re-election strategy that is both all too familiar and increasing unlikely to succeed in 2010.

What can you tell me about slatted racks. My dad picked up a few a couple of years ago, so on put them on (under) three packages that i got last year. Had a very good honey year but lost two of three during the winter, they did not starve. The mice found the racks to be a good home.
So tell me....
When do you use them? all year? summer only? Was it ok to put them on new packages? should I have taken them off for the winter?
What were they designed to do and do they work?
