HTC finally revealed the highly anticipated HTC One, boosting its flagship smartphone lineup. Though the launch was met with a lot of bumps along the way, such as knock-offs and leaked images, this remains an important step for HTC as it looks to regain a dominant position in the very crowded smartphone market.
The HTC One has the honor of being the first equipped with the Snapdragon 600, which clearly puts it ahead of the competition. It is encased in a machined aluminum unibody with curved edges so it fits comfortably in your hand. And will be available in Silver/White, Black and Red versions.
"People today immerse themselves in a constant stream of updates, news and information. Although smartphones are one of the main ways we stay in touch with the people and information we care about, conventional designs have failed to keep pace with how people are actually using them," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. "A new, exciting approach to the smartphone is needed and with the new HTC One, we have re-imagined the mobile experience from the ground up to reflect this new reality."

Standout features
One: Its user interface has been overhauled to deliver the things you want, when you want them. BlinkFeed gives you a live home screen so you can stay up to date with the latest happenings in Twitter or Facebook, or the latest news around the globe. Even the photo gallery has been brought to life with HTC Zoe and the HTC UltraPixel Camera that lets you capture 20 photos and a 3-second video in one shot. As you may have noticed, the HTC One has two strips of speaker grills in the front for a whole new music and video experience via the HTC BoomSound with Beats Audio integration. And the HTC Sense TV transform your HTC One into the perfect TV companion.
Z10: BlackBerry Balance, which offers dedicated profiles to keep work and personal data separate and secure, USB 2.0 high speed port which allows charging and data synchronization of the device with a USB cable, Micro HDMI for connection to your HDTV or projector, BlackBerry® Magnify, for customers with partial vision, Teletypewriter (TTY) Support.
Nexus 4: Wireless charging, Google Now, Voice Search, Google Maps, Gesture Typing, Android Beam, Google Wallet, Music Manager.
iPhone 5: Ultrafast Wireless, Maps, EarPods, Lightning connector, enhanced Siri, Passbook.
Galaxy SIII: Smart Stay, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Social Tag, S Voice.
So which is the best phone?
The HTC One takes the prize for the best phone in this round because it uses the Snapdragon 600 which makes it super fast compared to the other devices. But aside from that, the live home screen makes it really interesting. And if you're a budding photographer or just likes taking photos everywhere you go, the UltraPixel Camera seems like a formidable companion.
HTC should have called this the HTC Live since it's all about giving life to the most mundane features of a phone. Though it weighs more than most of the phones it was compare to, the sleek aluminum body, and curved design makes up for the extra weight.

I'm confused.
I'm confused.
Mark Berninghausen
Its all coffee shop talk, the whole lot of it
SQKCRK, you are just dizzy from watching the pea and the 3 shells. (which shell has hte pea under it)
Crazy Roland
I put up a calculation sheet which uses the correlation found between outside daily maximum air temperature and egg laying of the honeybee queen. This has been found by the bee scientist Bretschko and verified by the scientists Bergmann & Bergmann, which also developed a formula.
From there you can calculate all sorts of things, like number of capped cells, number of nurse bees and such. Of course those numbers are estimated values only. But nevertheless very useful for hive management. I super the hive with new foundation, when there is a significant number of capped cells hatching. Also I know roughly when they start swarming which is when the ratio between bees and brood starts to sink again under 120 % after peaking in Spring.
The use of the sheet also allows minimal hive inspection, since you know how they develop. Also it allows to discover when somethings going wrong. If you calculated a certain development and it does not happen, somethings going wrong. (Helpful with poisoning incidents.) And so on. Bottom line. I find it useful to backup my gut feeling.
One drawback: you have to estimate the number of bees and brood cells when they start to brood again in the midst of the winter. Which is February here. You do not need to open all hives, though.
Since this model worked very well for me, I wonder how the numbers compare to Tim's reports.
Oh the suspense......
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Which was what? 90 lbs per hive?
Mark Berninghausen
My head is spinning reading this thread. I guess I'll never understand the nuances here, at least not until I buy a hummerbee.
But, I can figure a few things out, and, I do like Ian's numbers, easy to figure.
(900 x 180 x $per_pound) - $cost = $bragging_rights.
All the other banter, it's just fluff. CRA / IRS are the true judge of who wins the $bragging_rights competition. In the end, it's all about money, not honey, and it's only the taxable part that you can spend on the fun stuff, so that's all that matters in the end, what's the bottom line, taxable, after expenses......
DOH, now it suddenly makes sense, it's september, the month to feed. You guys feed the trolls when it's the season to feed the bees. Suddenly it all starts to make sense.
Ian, one thing I would like to take away from this... 'Conjecture' is a little insight into your management style, as it seems to work for you... When you pull 8 deeps off of your single do you add a double brood chamber and winter it that way then bust it back in the spring or just let the extra bees die off? Also do you have trouble forcing that many into a single deep using escapes? Sorry to go off topic
I don't think that there's going to be a huge amount of difference in honey production, deep for deep, when comparing standard practices vs what Tim is doing.
However, in terms of commercial operations, Tim is as organic as you can get under the circumstances. His hives are not only sustainable, but Tim has achieved some degree of permaculture.
Let's not forget his use of 'ferals', as well as his use of tower hives.
He's not using treatments of any kind, and he is not using supplemental feeding either. Something I would call probiotic beekeeping.
Add to that that his hives are productive to such an extent, that he's having logistical issues.
I would characterize his form of 'commercial beekeeping' to be so significantly different, that it's something remarkably new.
Don't get stuck on the honey production issue. It's not that important to the bigger picture.
We can only hope that it can be successfully replicated by other beekeepers.
Myself included.
The other stuff is peripheral in my opinion.
There are some recent experiments using bee condos that showed some promise as well.
My point is this: why aren't more of us trying to see if this type of beekeeping works?
There's a very real moral imperative in play here.
I think the people that have been commenting in this thread and those that subscribed to the thread but don't post are very interested in Tim's approach to bee keeping. But want to know the what/why/where/hows to all of it.
Many of the people commenting might just want to understand his methods before investing in this approach. Based on the quantity of woodenware required there would need to be a good amount invested in that.
(This comment- not meant to be a dig at you) Commercial means this is their livelihood and not everyone wants to make the leap before taking the time to understand. I can relate, I run my own consulting business and if I know an investment I make is sure to pay off then you bet I'm going to make it. If I'm not sure, I want to do everything I can to understand before making the final decision.
It seems like there are many interested in his methods, but are having a hard time piecing together the details. We all have our motives. Some want to know the honey crop while others like myself want to incorporate some of his methods with the methods from other seasoned beekeepers to form a sustainable form of beekeeping for my locale.
@Tim Ives-
Would you be willing to start a new thread that shows / explains a more detailed approach to your bee keeping?
I've watched you're youtube videos and am blown away with what your doing, but would love to understand some of the key fundamentals to your method. It'd be great to understand your methods on a finer level. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
Perhaps you don't understand why sustainable forms of commercial beekeeping are a moral rather than a financial imperative.
It's simply because there are too many issues surrounding current forms of commercial beekeeping.
If someone like Tim Ives has achieved a form of sustainable commercial beekeeping, then it becomes the moral thing to do.
If it's also as lucrative, then it can become a best practice.
I've been in the Founders' Room of a LEED Platinum skyscraper that has a recently installed green roof, and a couple of bee hives as well.
It's an example of how a moral imperative can also achieve a financial one. Nearby property values have increased as a result, and it's a model green building.
that's the conclusion i came to as well. in my area, in a good year, it's possible to get 5 medium supers of harvestable honey without feeding syrup using a single deep. i think the biggest factor that allows for tim's impressive harvest per hive is that he has found locations that give him 3 months of 'main flow'
there are a number of us using 'ferals', but none that i know of that are able to work them without protection. a more gentle hive here and a more defensive one there is what seems reasonable. with the genetic diversity that tim has across his operation, it seems incredible that all of his colonies can be worked without protection
this is the commercial forum wlc, you and i aren't part of 'us'. i think tim probably has gotten the attention of some of the bigger honey producers, although his methods may not be applicable to all locations
i'm still trying to understand the mechanism for tim's five years and more on queen longevity.

I would love to achieve sustainable permaculture with a tower hive with hybrid Honeybees.
Don't forget, I've got marked/clipped queens in my hives. I mean the BeeWeavers (commercial queens).
N'ya Ha!
PS-You posted your comments inside the quote bubble. Not outside.

There are a lot of bees to fit into the single chamber, but its all about timing. Here the queen starts to slow down brood production in Aug and into Sept. As we push the bees down into the single in September, a lot of those summer foraging bees have died off already, but still see beards on the hives all the same. Those bees die off throughout September, and by the time we move the hives into storage in November the winter cluster is mostly what we see.
I managed both single and double arrangements for many years. the doubles would tend to go into winter with larger cluster. I found that the cluster in both arrangements were mostly the same by spring.

Not to mention Coby Fleener for us in the first. That would be very dissappointing to me. I think thats a huge reach for us and doesn't impact the team enough for a first round pick.

Kale Seeds
One of the most nutritious veggies in the world!
Kale is a cool-season vegetable that's high in nutrients, low in calories, and very tolerant of frost. Offering a range of colors and shapes, many varieties, although just as edible and delicious as the plainer types, are grown mainly for their beautiful ornamental leaves, which are brilliant red, pink, lavender, blue, violet, or white in the interior. When choosing a kale, keep in mind that green ones tend to be sweeter, while red varieties are somewhat more appealing to the eye. Red kale also contains anthocyanins, an antioxidant!

Glad to see you got it worked out.
So we had to cut down the piston a little bit more. Luckily the M92 one I had was soft and we cut, pinned and silver brazed it.
Gas tube has been cut down and flared out to fit as well.
Counterbored the muzzle device so that it sits flush to the modified gas block/front sight. We still need to take down some of the taper so it can be notched to use the index on the front sight.
I like to use AMD-65 gas tubes for pistol builds because the piston guide flutes go farther back towards the rear sight base than the other gas tubes.
the star is only to center the pistion in a smooth bore tube. IMO has little do with carbon scraping.
Looks like you are well on your way to having a sweet looking weapon.

Well, we are one day nearer to the start of the IAJGS Washington conference and things are moving forward steadily. The presentation for the UK-SIG meeting has been almost completed and has reminded me of the many useful resources that are available on the JGSGB and JCR-UK websites. I suppose we are also blessed in the UK with many centralised records and a lot of on-line records but we also have lots of fragmented records, which can often only be researched in person. JGSGB wants to see these records preserved above all and also, if possible, made available on-line to people who would benefit from them.
Tomorrow will bring the start of the panic about ensuring we have everything we need to go to Washington with. The papers, the timetable – so very important to anyone attending a conference – the knowledge of who will be there and when we can see them, when will we get to eat given all the things we have to go to. The timetable already means that Jeanette and I will have to split off most of the time to cover the very varied selection of events and presentations. The subjects of the talks are all enticing and there are massive problems with choosing which ones to attend, given so many interesting subjects. I hope that we will choose wisely.
As this is my first international conference as JGSGB Chairman, this will be a very different experience from the last two conferences I attended. At those I was an ordinary delegate, now I will be representing UK Jewish genealogy at very important meetings. I hope not to let the UK down. I want to promote what is good about JGSGB and the UK at every opportunity at the conference.
From my experience of these conferences, I would always say be there and learn so much more than you can anywhere else and alo meet so many terrific people.
So now for tomorrow and the next steps towards Washington.

Has anyone made a WBC type hive that will work with standard Langstroth frames??
Has anyone made a WBC type hive that will work with standard Langstroth frames??
Hi Steve -
I've not done this yet but it's on my list of things to make. I plan to simply alter the dimensions to allow standard Langstroth hive bodies to be used as the internal boxes. Shouldn't be very hard to do as the WBC dimensions are already pretty close to the long dimension of the Langstroth.
This weekend, I built a WBC-type hive that works with Langstroth frames. I made 4 medium-depth supers that hold 12 frames each, making them nearly square. The bottom board has a mite screen. Cypress was used for the entire hive. I'll take pictures in a few days and send you some Barry.
Steve -
I look forward to seeing it. Send me what you can.
Barry has graciously published picture of the WBC hive I built. The plans on this website are great!

I.D. Magazine - Good chemistry
Products preserve youth and conserve space
Skin care. The words provoke images of bathroom clutter and domestic war. Now, a few new products promise to save shelf space, and perhaps even partnerships. Launched in February, the Malin+Goetz unisex skin-care line consists of just six items: one cleanser and moisturizer each for face, hair, and body.
Matthew Malin ("dry"), previously a director of sales at Kiehls, who created the line with Andrew Goetz ("oily"), a former marketing director at Vitra, explains that, thanks to gently cleansing fatty acids and non-drying alcohols, the products are suitable for all skin types. To complement their minimalist system, the partners commissioned the New York graphics studio 2X4 to develop packaging with a simple palette of blue, green, and red, in light and dark shades. Helvetica type keeps the look simple without tipping it into retro. Referring to the clients, Susan Sellers of 2X4 said, "They're interested in a kind of vernacular?things that feel local and personal?but they're also tied to modernism. We wanted to do something clean and generic, but made idiosyncratic through printing processes and material choices." Malin+Goetz products are distributed through Barneys, Liberty of London, and Fred Segal, and can be purchased at a new Manhattan store designed by Craig Konyk. www.malinandgoetz.com

Wie viele Leute dort wohnen und das Bad benutzen bleibt unklar. Die Lage ist aber top und direkt um die Ecke von Earls Court.

Arsène Wenger expects "six or seven" teams to challenge for what could be the most open title race in Premier League history.
Last season saw Chelsea and Manchester United battle for the crown until the final day of the campaign while Arsenal's own title push petered out a few weeks earlier. There was a minor changing of the guard further down the table with Liverpool dropping out of the top four and Tottenham pipping Manchester City to the final Champions League spot.
When you factor in City's summer spending - expected to exceed the £100 million mark - you can understand why Wenger feels it's no longer enough to look at the traditional 'Big Four' for title contenders.
"You expect Manchester City, who invest a huge amount of money, to be one of the contenders as well," said the Frenchman.
"Tottenham [can challenge] if they can confirm what they produced last year, Aston Villa as well. You could have six or seven teams because Everton for me has a strong squad too.
"What changed in England last year is that everybody could drop points, it was the first season that really happened. So it will be more open this year."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Choice for investors welcomed but quick gains tipped as unlikely in crowded market.
The prospect of three new players in the KiwiSaver market is being welcomed as good news for investors despite there being more than 50 schemes already offering access to the retirement savings initiative.
The BNZ has registered the 51st scheme.
This follows on from last month's registration of a scheme called Generate KiwiSaver - backed by former Fisher Funds' chief investment officer Warren Couillault.
A third fund manager, New Zealand Asset Management, is also understood to be contemplating a move into the KiwiSaver market.
Tony Vidler, chairman of the Institute of Financial Advisers, said on the surface there appeared to be too many schemes for the size of the population.
With around two million people signed up there is effectively one KiwiSaver scheme for every 40,000 people although some of the schemes are private and do not accept members of the public.
But Vidler said he welcomed all new players from the point of view that they were encouraging new saving.
"Anybody that is out there promoting saving from that perspective - we would welcome all entrants."
Vidler said for many people who joined up to the scheme it was their first foray into investment and it didn't matter who they chose as long as the provider was cost effective and had decent returns.
"It's more important that they just access the KiwiSaver benefits," he said.
Vidler believed more people would become discerning about their scheme over time as their account balances rose and there was greater financial literacy.
Chris Douglas, Morningstar's co-head of fund research, said competition was a good thing.
"Having a diverse range of products gives people more choice."
But he warned companies who entered the KiwiSaver market needed to take a long-term view as much of the gains in snapping up new members had already been made.
KiwiSaver provider Tower recently released figures showing that overall the number of people signing up to KiwiSaver had slowed to its lowest point in December since the launch of the scheme in July 2007.
Douglas said it would be a big task for the BNZ to catch up to its banking rivals.
A survey released by Morningstar yesterday showed the other three Australian-owned banks are the largest KiwiSaver providers.
ANZ-owned One Path now has 25 per cent of the market while the ASB has 21 per cent and Westpac 12.4 per cent.
"It has been such a big land grab already," said Douglas.
"People are much more aware of KiwiSaver now.
"It's not as easy to get people to just sign up when they come in for a mortgage."

First School Year for No Child Left Behind
Rising from the Ashes
Close-Up On: No Child
Left BehindHow Student Achievement Is Measured
Tips for Parents
Just Released! Helping Your Child Series
First School Year for No Child Left Behind
The first school year under the historic, bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act is finally under way. Now, for the first time, the success of the public schools will be determined by the one measure that really matterswhether or not the children are learning.
The new law requires each state to implement a statewide accountability system that will set academic standards for what students should know and be able to do. It gives state and local officials the flexibility to find local solutions to local problems. The law encourages the use of curricula and teaching methods that are scientifically proven to work. No Child Left Behind provides extra help to students who are falling behind and offers parents options when their children are assigned to persistently underachieving schools.
You can read the text of the law at www.ed.gov/legislation/ESEA02. You may also want to review a parents' guide to the new law at www.NoChildLeftBehind.gov/next/faqs/index.html.
Rising from the Ashes
By Bernice Whelchel, Baltimore, Md.
"A phoenix rising from the ashes" was the hopeful description of City Springs Elementary School at the beginning of the 1997 school year. We had embarked upon our second year of school-wide reform efforts, and the jury was still out as to whether or not we would succeed. As a first-time principal, I was attempting to turn around a school widely believed to be one of the worst in Baltimore.
When we began our efforts, City Springs was not a safe place. Children and parents roamed the halls freely, teachers were threatened and often struggled just to get through the day. Student achievement had reached an all-time low and the school was under threat of state takeover. None of our students scored at the satisfactory level in reading and math on Maryland's state assessment, and we ranked 114 out of 115 on the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS).
Last year, six years after our efforts began, we were one of only two schools in Baltimore in the last 10 years to be removed from the state's watch list. Our overall state assessment scores rose to sixth in the city! Our median score for first-graders was in the 92nd percentile! We have the same student population as we did before: 98 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. We are still in an area of Baltimore that is plagued by crime and drugsbut we are not the same school. If I hadn't experienced firsthand the painstaking efforts of our staff and students, I would call this turnaround nothing short of miraculous.
It is therefore with great excitement and satisfaction that we enter the 2002-2003 school year. We have high expectations for all students. Our school already meets many of the demands of No Child Left Behind. We have seen these reforms work, and we know they can work. President Bush, Secretary Paige and the U.S. Congress have united to bring new expectations, and that's encouraging. Until our school achieved such clear success during the last couple of years, we often felt that we were "renegades" for using direct instruction programs, in spite of their proven effectiveness. We had to resist pressure from various state and local agencies to enact teaching practices or curricula that we knew would be counterproductive to our students' progress. We knew that what we were doing worked, and we didn't want to risk our success on well-intentioned but unproven fads.
|"Today begins a new era, a new time for public education in our country. Our schools will have higher expectationswe believe every child can learn. From this day forward, all students will have a better chance to learn, to excel, and to live out their dreams."
President Bush, at the signing of the No Child Left Behind Act on January 8, 2002
No Child Left Behind gives this inner-city principal hope. Hope that this country will no longer accept the failure of poor children. Hope that educators will come to understand that we have enough examples of successful schools serving poor students to actually know what has to be in place for at-risk students to succeed. And, hope that, truly, no child will be left behind.
Bernice Whelchel, an educator for 32 years, is principal of City Springs Elementary School in Baltimore, Md. Last winter Whelchel served as a panelist on U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige's Reading Leadership Academy to share how a research-based curriculum turned a school in need of improvement into a successful one.
Close-Up On: No Child Left BehindHow Student Achievement Is Measured
The first step toward creating a strong school accountability system is setting the bar for academic achievement. Under existing law, states are required to develop academic content standards for what every child should know and be able to do in reading and math. Many states already have rigorous academic standards in place, and most have adopted standards in other subjects like history and science. Once the standards are set, then the curriculumthe lessons and materials used in the classroomcan be aligned with those standards.
Source: House Education & the Workforce Committee
Under No Child Left Behind, the success of the public schools will be measured by how well students are progressing toward and meeting the standards. Specifically, student progress will be measured in grades 3 through 8 by annual, statewide assessments aligned with the state reading and math standards. Testing annually is important because the results provide an independent measure of how much progress students have made toward meeting the academic content standards.
The assessment requirements under No Child Left Behind hold schools accountable for the achievement of all students. Test results show principals how much progress each teacher's students have made, so they can make good decisions about program selection, curriculum and professional development. Test results give parents information about the academic progress of their children and the quality of their children's schools. The results also help policy-makers and state and local leaders by providing critical information about which schools and school districts are succeeding and why.
Tips for Parents
Being involved in your children's education helps them do well in school and improves the quality of your school. Here are some suggestions for getting started. Find the time to get involvedit makes a difference!
- Take your child to school on the first day.
- Let your child know that school is important. Be sure to ask questions about homework, and set up a quiet place for your child to work.
- Read everything that is sent home from schoolreport cards, homework assignments, school lunch plans and vacation and bus schedules.
- Get to know your child's teachers and principal by attending school meetings and parent-teacher conferences.
- Encourage your child to read at home. Visit local and school libraries, stop at bookmobiles or go to book fairs to pick out books together.

Ecuadorian Indigenous Mobilization Results in Government Negotiations, Strengthened Movement
The last few weeks in Ecuador, characterized by indigenous mass action and protests and which culminated in a formal agreement between the indigenous leaders and the president of Ecuador, have marked the beginning of a promising new phase in relations between the government and the country's indigenous populations.
This process started on the 27th of September when The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (CONAIE), led by Marlon Santi, called for an indigenous mass mobilization with the goal of having the indigenous proposals regarding the National Water and Mining laws heard by the government. The indigenous populations feel that the proposed laws have a direct influence on their rights and a process of prior and informed consent should be met before the government takes unilateral action on delimiting the use of these natural resources. Pachamama, a close ally to CONAIE in the technical and political sphere, shares the objective with the indigenous movement in Ecuador to strengthen indigenous rights and self-determination in Ecuador. This call to action by CONAIE stemmed from the recognition that indigenous rights were not being respected, and attention needed to be drawn to this urgently.
The mobilization began at midnight on the 27th of September with the blocking of several of the countries main highways, mainly in the Cotopaxi, Imbabura, Morona Santiago and Pastaza provinces. The mass action got off to a slow start, and there was even talk of calling off the mobilization after 22 hours. Nevertheless, a struggle between Ecuadorian police and Shuar protestors in Macas , which tragically left one Shuar dead, sparked a massive reaction nationally from all indigenous sectors and a strengthening of the protests on all fronts.
Under pressure for almost the first time in his term, the president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, extended an invitation to CONAIE to come to the dialogue table. Initially the indigenous communities of the Amazon expressed that there could be no dialogue until the community bases (remote villages) had agreed on a unified position regarding the two proposed laws under debate. From the 30th of September and for the next week, the indigenous federations of Ecuador in the Amazon and the Andes held fierce debate while establishing a unified position to take in the negotiation with the Ecuadorian government.
On the 5th of October, Rafeal Correa met with a unified Ecuadorian indigenous movement in Quito to formally discuss the indigenous position. In a reflection of the priority being given to the event, this discussion was televised live nationally.
The talks were a success and the Ecuadorian government agreed to:
1. Receive the agenda presented by CONAIE and its affiliates and initiate a formal and permanent dialogue on a working group basis. The organization of this process will be under the responsibility of the Secretary of Populations and Social Movements in coordination with CODENPE, and all the Ministries and delegations that the indigenous sectors deem necessary. Regarding Intercultural Education, consider the proposal that the National and Provincial indigenous authorities select by means of a merit based contest. For this purpose, Decree No. 1585 will go under revision without excluding the possibility of it being outlawed. Work to reach consensus on the Water Bill, based on the two projects that have already been presented, one by the President and one by CONAIE. This process will be undertaken through the Legislative Commission.
2. Receive a proposal to reform the Mining Law in order to debate is contents within the framework of a commission composed by both the CONAIE and the Government.
3. Agree to investigate the content of the messages transmitted by a Shuar radio station to determine whether or not its transmissions called for violence.
4. Agree to establish as responsibility of the Truth Commission, - to which two delegates from CONAIE and two from the Government will be appointed - the thorough investigation of the causes of the death of the Shuar indigenous member in Macas.
With these agreements the mobilization came to an end on the 6th of October 2009 with celebrations amongst indigenous movements throughout the country. The consensus is that this has been a vindication of the defense of indigenous territorial, self-determination and collective rights pursued by indigenous populations and supported by Pachamama.
Furthermore, the events of the last two weeks are a major victory not only for the indigenous movement in Ecuador, but also for democracy on the whole. In the words of ex-constitutional assembly president, Alberto Acosta "It was a debate of the highest standards; an exposition that the state developed in favor of the excluded groups. It parted from the principle that the state could be the facilitator of a culture of peace with the goal of debate within the constitutional framework and respect for pluri(multi)nationalism. The indigenous movement has been significantly strengthened [by this process]."

Recovering deleted text messages from iPhone 5 after iTunes backup
I need to recover deleted texts from my iPhone 5. There were from a couple of weeks ago and my phone has been backed up to my iTunes since the texts were deleted. The phone was not backed up before the messages were deleted. I have tried Spotlight search and recovery directly from iTunes. I also contacted my provider who only saves information regarding the size, time, and cell tower location, not the actual message. The importance of these messages is vital to me. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. If anyone can help or provide a suggestion of where I should go next I would be GREATLY appreciative.

Into the Wild
A five-star lodge in northern Manitoba is the ultimate destination for freshwater fishing enthusiasts.
A memorable buddy fishing trip requires selecting the right destination and plenty of advance planning. As the evenings begin to cool, it's not too soon to begin enlisting two or three friends who you can tolerate in the wild for a week, blocking out a spot on next year's calendar and booking a reservation with the right outfitter.
If you're a freshwater enthusiast, you can't do better than Gangler's North Seal River Lodge in northern Manitoba. With a five-star main lodge situated on Egenolf Lake, Gangler's offers fly-ins and mechanized portages to more than 30 world-class fishing lakes in this pristine wilderness. And while the terrain may be remote, the food, the beds and the main lodge bar are on a par with an upscale in-town hotel.
I hooked three buddies into a trip to Gangler's earlier this year. While two friends had some fishing experience, the lawyer in our group had never dropped a line in the water. Of course, by the end of our five-day adventure, he had landed the most fish—an assortment of walleyes, northern pike, grayling and lake trout—and the biggest fish, a 25-pound plus laker. He went from virgin to master angler in five short days, but everyone feels like a master angler on these waters.
The way to Gangler's is through Winnipeg, where you catch a charter flight that takes you 160 miles north of the northernmost road in Manitoba and sets you down on a 5,000 foot gravel landing strip that Wayne and Ken Gangler bulldozed in the wilderness. Once there, Cree Indian guides keep you from getting lost and show you where and how to fish, a lodge staff of chefs, waitresses, bartenders and maids makes your stay comfortable, and irrepressible Wayne will undoubtedly offer you one of his favorite stogies and his joke of the day.
Each fishing day begins with a hearty breakfast at 7 a.m. The float planes are ready at the dock at 8 a.m. and then you're off for a short flight to whatever fishing destination you selected the night before. Lunch is either packed along from the kitchen or your guide will filet enough of the morning's catch for a shore lunch, a routine we wanted repeated every day. Hopefully, your arms are in good shape because you're likely to catch as many as 100 fish a day. And then you're back to the lodge for a hot shower, cocktails and dinner by six, which leaves time for that cigar and an exchange of the day's adventures. At this fishing destination, exaggeration isn't necessary.
If you've dreamed about a fishing trip of a lifetime, stop dreaming and start planning.
The Essentials: Contact Wayne or Ken Gangler at www.ganglers.com or at 1-866-515-6343.

When I was beekeeping a number of years ago the wax foundation had wires running from the top-bar to/through the split bottom-bar and then we'd manually string a couple of horizontal wires across the frame to add sturdiness in the brood & extracting frames. I just purchased a single brood super hive from a bee supplier, the foundation is heavier than I was use to, and there was no vertical wires in the foundation (from the top-bar to bottom-bar) nor any horizontal strung wires across the frames.
(1) Will the set-up I purchased be sturdy enough without the wiring for the brood super (and an addition one I plan to purchase in another month from that supplier) then I had been used to?
(2) The bottom bar of the brood super frames were also solid, not split like in my 60s/70s years of beekeeping?
Just checking!

Foosball memorial honors local hero
POCATELLO, Idaho - A tournament in Pocatello uses foosball to remember a fallen hero.
The tournament is named after Sgt. Blake Stephens, a Pocatello local who served in the army and was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007.
"He is one of those guys that everybody wants to be around. He was just happy. He was always positive, a go-getter, and people wanted to be around that," Blake Stephens Foosball Tournament organizer Elaine Prokschell said.
The tournament raises money to fund a scholarship in Blake's honor, given to student veterans going to Idaho State University.
Last year Tomarra Byington won the scholarship.
"Receiving this scholarship was a tremendous honor. It helps veterans at ISU take care of things they wouldn't possibly be able to otherwise," Byington said.
Blake was often seen at Hooligans Bar, usually with a few friends playing his favorite game, foosball.
"He loved foosball. He has a couple of buddies that always would come in and play foosball, every week," Blake's friend Evan Pruitt said.
Friends of Blake said the tournament dedicated to helping local veterans is the perfect memorial for Blake.
"He was always looking to help somebody, so I think he'd think it was a great thing. he was always down for a little competition and a good time, and it's right up his alley. He would have loved it," Clint Colling said.
The friends who helped organize this event, said it's important to never forget someone like Blake.
"He was a great person. He did what he thought was the right thing, joining the army, serving our country, protecting the freedoms that we all love. And you have to remember people like that," Pruitt said.

If you're on the fence about whether or not you'll vote, I'd like to share with you why I came to a very convicted opinion about the importance of each vote.
I know what you're thinking — oh, good, another "take action" column — and I bet you know what's coming. I can't believe I'm going to be the one saying it.
Everybody should gather information, get involved and vote.
I know we're already sick of the signs and of the ads, but each vote remains important no matter how tiring the campaigns have become.
I was first talked into the importance of voting by an Australian. I was never much involved in politics because I felt the whole thing was a mess. It's always seemed like most of the big-time politicians on TV come across as untruthful, and it gets hard to tell what's true and what's not.
I know what I want for myself, but I certainly wouldn't presume to know what's good for the country, or even the city for that matter.
I worked at a hostel in Seattle for a summer (think hotel, but cheaper and with shared bathrooms). The place attracted a lot of foreign travelers who were on a budget.
I also lived in the hostel in exchange for the work I did. We all became friends with the people who stayed, and a group of us went for a walk one evening to the nearby beach.
This Australian man gave me a serious talking to for not getting more involved in American politics. This was in 2008.
"Do you realize what's going on with the housing crisis?" he asked. He went on to tell me how this American issue was affecting his community in Australia.
He was upset about the fact that while American politics affected his home, he couldn't vote in American elections. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to vote and wasn't doing anything. He was personally offended.
I don't actually know how much the housing crisis affected Australia. He was also being a bit rude, but I didn't have a response. I had never thought of the importance of my vote on a world-wide level.
It's not just about the affect our vote has on other countries, of course. And it's not just the country as a whole — the lower levels are important.
It's something I've come to believe very fully after attending local council and board meetings: Local officials make important decisions about issues that affect you and me in our daily lives.
It's still a month away, but please vote.

JFK: The Local Connection - Part Two "NFL Games"
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - On Friday, November 22, our nation will mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy in Dallas. After his death in 1963, our country was left in a state of shock.
However, some things still went on, though not everyone agreed. Specifically NFL games played just two days after JFK was murdered. At the time, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle was adamant that the games should play on. Years later, he said it was the one decision of his career - he regretted the most.
It's Sunday, November 24, 1963 and America mourns.
"It was devastating, devastating," recalled a woman when asked of her memory of the day Kennedy was killed.
The body of John Kennedy, our nation's 35th president, lies in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda, two days after his assassination on the streets of Dallas.
"It was a situation we had never been through before at least in my lifetime," said Owen Monfils, who ran Kennedy's campaign in Brown County in 1960.
However, while many events of the day are canceled out of respect for our fallen leader - the Green Bay Packers take the field at Milwaukee County Stadium to play the San Francisco 49ers.
"It was a very traumatic day," recalls former Packers linebacker, Dave Robinson.
First-year Packers player Robinson reluctantly took part.
"Dave Robinson did not want to play because of what was going on in the country," recalled Robinson. "I don't think Vince even wanted to play the game either."
The Packers, along with all NFL teams played, because Pete Rozelle, league commissioner, decided they should less than 12 hours after Kennedy died.
In a statement, Rozelle wrote, "It has been traditional in sports for athletes to perform in times of great personal tragedy. Football was Mr. Kennedy's game. He thrived on competition."
However, later in his career, Rozelle would say his decision was a mistake.
"When Pete talked about it he regretted his decision and I'm sure he never changed his opinion on that," said former Packers President Bob Harlan.
Harlan said Rozelle's decision to play NFL games that weekend sometimes came up in their conversations.
In Harlan's personal opinion, all games should have been put on hold. Much like the way NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue canceled all games for roughly two weeks - after the 9/11 terror attacks.
The first Monday night game after the attacks, held at Lambeau Field.
"The country was in such turmoil after the Kennedy assassination - it just didn't make sense that games should go on and be played," Harlan said.
"The assassination happened on a Friday so Rozelle had to make a quick decision," recalled retired sportswriter, Cliff Christl.
Christal says at the time it wasn't so cut and dry. Many teams were already enroute to their opponent's community. That Saturday, 30 college football games went on, along with hockey and the NBA .
Christl says Rozelle also received guidance suggesting the games go on, from officials close to the White House.
"I think one of the people who influenced Rozelle's decision was Bud Wilkinson, the coach from Oklahoma, who headed JFK's national Physical Fitness program and he said the games should go on," said Christl.
"He told me one time he heard different opinions from everyone who called," Harlan said, "All about whether they should have played or not."
And that Sunday at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Dave Robinson played because his coach told him to.
"He said it was a great loss to the county, great personal loss, some were taking it really hard - but you still have a job to perform, you are Green Bay Packers - you have to play," Robinson said.
He also played because the order came from the commissioner.
"Once the commissioner says you are going to play, you play - that's all there is to it," Robinson said.
Though in a game filled with emotion - very little showed on the faces of players along the sideline or on the field.
Too many were still in shock - as America continued to mourn.
"You had to live it to understand it," said the former Packers linebacker.
The Packers beat the 49ers, 28-10 that day, but only those inside the stadium saw the game. All three TV networks at the time, carried coverage of the funeral procession that carried Kennedy's body from the White House to the U.S. Capitol.

Gessler refusing to pay for Pueblo recall election
PUEBLO, Colo. - Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler is refusing to pay the cost of last year's recall elections in Pueblo and El Paso counties unless lawmakers approve it.
State Sen. George Rivera, a Republican from Pueblo, and state Sen. Bernie Herpin, a Republican from Colorado Springs, have told Gessler the state is required to cover the $270,000 it cost Pueblo County and the $150,000 it cost El Paso County to conduct the special elections last year.
Those recall races ousted Democratic state Sens. Angela Giron, of Pueblo, and John Morse, of Colorado Springs over their votes on gun issues. Rivera and Herpin were elected to replace them.
According to the Pueblo Chieftain, Gessler isn't opposed to reimbursing the counties if the Legislature provides the funds to do it.

I like that reloader.
Thx, she's a sweetheart!!
which model is that Dillon?
I used to do quite a bit of reloading and used to sell reloading supplies at gun shows quite regularly. I had my last reloading room setup in the basement of a friends business. The building got sold and before I could move my stuff out, it was broken into. One of my dillon's was stolen along with all my powder (probably 30 pounds or so), primers (about 10-15 thousand), several kegs of new pistol brass (which was mostly stock for sale), a case of factory winchester .223 ammo, a couple of pistols and many other things. I never did set up another reloading room and sure do miss it. Oh, well, I have beekeeping and all that entails to keep me busy. I also spend time every now and then mining pennies for copper. Unfortunately, work gets in the way sometimes of doing either of these. ;-) -js
