Ford, the world's second-biggest carmaker, will invest as much as US$1.5 billion in China over the next several years to expand manufacturing capacity at Changan Ford in Chongqing, Sichuan province, from the current 20,000 units a year to 150,000, by adding a second car plant and a new engine plant.
Ford CEO William Clay Ford said Friday at a news conference in Beijing that "The automotive future of China is very bright and we are participating fully in its growth." He added that "The purpose of the additional investment is so we can bring more products to the rapidly expanding market." Indeed, car sales in China smashed the one million-unit barrier last year and were expected to rise to some two million sedans in 2003. McKinsey & Co. forecasts that car sales in China will triple to 5.8 million units by 2010.
In 2001, Ford established a 50/50 joint venture with Changan Automobile Group. Ford invested US$49 million to build a factory near the Yangtze River. Meanwhile GM and its Chinese partner spent a combined US$1.6 billion on their first venture in China.
The Chongqing factory has the capacity to assemble approximately 50,000 units per year. Ford Motor (China) marketing vice-president Dale Jones earlier this year said the plant was capable of making four models at the same time. It includes a paint shop, a welding shop and an assembly building and employs 800 people.
In January 2003 Ford launched production and sale of a four-door sedan based on the popular Ford Fiesta, with more than 200 changes to meet the unique needs of the Chinese market. The Fiesta, with engines of 1.3 or 1.6 liters, ranges from 88,800 Yuan to 127,800 Yuan. The cheapest is less expensive than the Buick Sail, GM's comparable product in China. The Fiesta also competes with Volkswagen's Polo, Honda Motor's Fit and Toyota's Vios.
In May 2003 Ford rolled out its larger Mondeo sedan models and in July they started assembling the Maverick, a compact sport-utility vehicle. Going forward, Ford intends to launch at least one new model annually in China.
Ford passenger vehicle dealerships in China have increased from 17 to 26 by mid-2003. Its brands Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo also sell vehicles in China through a growing distribution network. Mazda also is growing steadily in China, with contract assembly of vehicles and sales through an expanding network of Mazda dealers.
Ford also owns a 30 percent stake in Jianling Motor Corp. in the southern province of Jiangxi, through which it has produced the Transit delivery van since 1997.
Ford also has six smaller joint ventures producing auto parts and components. Its financing company, Ford Credit, has opened an office to prepare for the opening of the auto financing business to foreign companies.
The new investment plans include a second car plant and an engine unit, the company said. Bill Ford said he intended to make and sell a full range of luxury cars in China, but declined to give a timeframe. Besides Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo, its brands include Lincoln, Mercury and Aston Martin.
But the firm is considered a relative latecomer to the modern Chinese market, launching its first car 18 years after its first competitor did.
GM, Volkswagen and Toyota Motor are expanding local production to meet rising demand from increasingly wealthy Chinese urban residents.
Arch-rival General Motors Corp. is four years ahead of Ford. It started to make Buicks in Shanghai in 1999. GM commands about eight percent of the market and recently stepped up its manufacturing capacity to 200,000 cars per year.
Volkswagen, which makes two in five cars on Chinese roads and which counts China as its biggest sales market after Germany, started producing vehicles in Anting in 1985. Currently they make 880,000 vehicles a year in China and announced in July a five billion dollar expansion to double production to 1.6 million units coming years.
Toyota has set aside US$ 400 million to expand production in China to 400,000 units by 2010, and wants to capture 10 per cent of the car market by then.

Ministry Of Food Cookbook
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and have just had a bit of a disaster with the Beef and ale stew recipe in Jamie's Ministry Of Food cookbook. The recipe said to cook it for 3 hours at 200 degrees centigrade. I'm a novice cook but an avid cookery programme watcher and instinct told me this was wrong but I figured I should trust the recipe. Well, after 2.5 hours the stew was incinerated. Really disappointing and expensive. Do you think it might have been a typo in the recipe?

Re: Ministry Of Food Cookbook
May have been a typo....more like you got your C's mixed up with your F's. Don't know of anything that will take 3 hours of 200 degrees centigrade, without looking like charcoal after this time.

Deffo didn't read it wrong. Recipe says 200C/400F/gas 6!! I read and re-read the recipe and knew instinctively it was wrong! Should have gone with my gut feeling! Ah well, chalk it up to experience I guess!!

Re: Ministry Of Food Cookbook
I'd say 200 was way too high... 150C for that time would be about right.....
adjust according to your particular oven..

Re: Ministry Of Food Cookbook
I'd have said the 180C specified in the linked recipe page was also pushing it a bit too for 3 hrs (esp as no mention is made about reducing the temp. for fan ovens either).......
......I would tend to give it 180C for the first hour & then drop it down to 150-160C for the remaining 2 hrs depending on your oven.
It's important with raw meat to give the dish a good blast of heat when it first goes into the oven for at least 1/2hr, then it's ok to drop the temperature.

Re: Ministry Of Food Cookbook
I just read the recipe.. I think it is a matter of a missed step in the method.. where it says that you can cook it at a slow simmer on the hob or in the oven. I think it should have stated that the oven needs to be turned down.

Re: Ministry Of Food Cookbook
That is how I saw the recipe too Ashen. It says 'slow-simmer' and that is always how long braises work - you brown, bring all the ingredients up to a simmer, then reduce the heat so it is barely simmering.
This type of dish is almost foolproof in a slow cooker. The way the slow cooker holds moisture and even, low heat is ideal for this type of dish.

Always been happy with Thorne 5HTP
Posted by Reviewer1559362 on Nov 22, 2009 | Verified Purchase
As I have always been happy with Thorne Research's 5HTP , I made other purchases all from the Thorne brand recently but was disappointed by most of them except the 5HTP which I will keep buying and will not try other brands for due to lack of bad side effects and the efficacy of the mood lift I feel by taking 5 capsules each night. If I take them in the day they make me too sleepy. All pharmaceutical antidepressants have made me depressed, even if I wasn't before taking them (I was prescribed them to reduce fibromyalgia type pain), so Thorne 5HTP has been a blessing in getting a mood lift while enduring chronic pain.
5HTP for headaches
Posted by Reviewer1088842 on Oct 10, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I originally purchased this product to help give a little boost to my mood during a difficult time but found it to be a bigger help with my chronic headaches. I use to get headaches 4 or 5 days a week and reduced it down 1 or 2 days a week by switching to a mostly natural/organic diet. After that I was never able to cut the headaches out completely until I started using 5HTP. Since then (about a year ago) I only get headaches 1 or 2 times a month. This stuff is WONDERFULL!!!! I use to fear my headaches but now they are simply a thing of the past. Thorne Research has great reputation for quality products and I highly reccommend them. Do some research yourself and you will find that their quality standards are some of the highest in the industry.
Lifts Depression, Calms Anxiety
Posted by Reviewer1912677 on Apr 02, 2011 | Verified Purchase
As someone who experiences mild depression and anxiety frequently, I've tried a variety of 5-HTP brands. Thorne has been the most effective so far. Not sure it would be sufficient for a full-blown depression episode, but then I haven't even gotten close to that level since using 5-HTP. Generally take one cap at night, increasing to two at night and one in the morning if I notice my mood deteriorating over a few days.

I took one pill twice and got dizzy, couldn't control my eye movement, so I stopped taking pills. And I found many articles about 5-htp and B6 that says it could be fatal to take two elements at once. article of 5-htp-and-dizziness This product contains 5-htp and B6 together, and I recommend you to think about it first.

FDA Adds New Warnings to All Testosterone Product Labels »
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved class-wide labeling changes for all prescription testosterone products, the agency announced today.
New safety information from published literature and case reports on the risks "...
Read the FDA Adds New Warnings to All Testosterone Product Labels article »
Testim Patient Information including How Should I Take
In this Article
- What is testosterone topical (Testim)?
- What are the possible side effects of testosterone topical?
- What is the most important information I should know about testosterone topical?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using testosterone topical?
- How should I use testosterone topical?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while using testosterone topical?
- What other drugs will affect testosterone topical?
- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using testosterone topical?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to testosterone patches or gels, or if you have prostate cancer or male breast cancer.
To make sure you can safely use testosterone topical, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- diabetes;
- sleep apnea or chronic breathing problems;
- liver disease or kidney disease; or
- if you are overweight.
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication should not be used by a woman. Testosterone can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. A pregnant woman should avoid coming into contact with testosterone topical patches or gels, or with a man's skin areas where a patch has been worn or the gel has been applied. If contact does occur, wash with soap and water right away.
Older men who use testosterone topical may have an increased risk of prostate enlargement or cancer. If you are over 65, talk with your doctor about your specific risk.
Do not use Androderm on a boy younger than 15 years old. Do not use AndroGel on a boy younger than 18 years old. Testim should not be used on anyone younger than 18 years old.
The testosterone transdermal patch may burn your skin if you wear the patch during an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Remove the patch before undergoing such a test.
How should I use testosterone topical?
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Apply the testosterone topical (transdermal) patch to a flat, clean, dry, and undamaged area of skin on your back, stomach, upper arm, or thigh. Wear the patch for 24 hours and then replace it with a new patch. Apply your patch at the same time each evening.
Choose a different skin area to wear each new patch you put on. You should not use the same skin area twice in a 7-day period.
After removing a patch, fold it closed with the sticky side in, and throw it away in a place where pets and children cannot reach it.
Apply the testosterone gel at the same time each day (preferably in the morning) to clean, dry, unbroken skin on the shoulders or upper arms. Open the gel pouch, and squeeze the entire contents onto the palm of your hand. Apply the gel right away and allow it to dry for at least 5 minutes before you dress. Wash your hands with soap and water after applying the gel.
Do not apply testosterone gel to your penis or your scrotum. The Testim brand of testosterone gel should also not be applied to your stomach area.
It is best to cover treated skin areas with clothing while using testosterone gel. This will help prevent getting this medicine on other people. If someone else does come into contact with a treated skin area, they must wash the contact area right away with soap and water.
To be sure this medicine is helping your condition, your blood will need to be tested often. Your prostate or liver function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
Use testosterone topical regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep each skin patch in the foil pouch until you are ready to use it. Do not use a skin patch that has been cut or damaged.

Bell Helmets - You don't own a helmet, you own a Bell
In 1955 a man named Cal Niday plowed into the retaining wall during the Indianapolis 500 and the first Bell comeback was officially underway. The impact fractured his skull, but the Bell helmet he was wearing saved his life.
Cal returned to racing a few months later. Bell has been engineering spectacular comebacks ever since. From a dirt track low side, to a Grand Prix high side, to the father of extreme sports rag-dolling across the Caesar's Palace parking lot, Bell was there when the world's best riders went down. And with innovations like energy-absorbing liners, the first full face motorcycle helmet, and more design patents than any helmet company in history, Bell has always been there to help them get back up again.
Over the years Bell earned enough trust to make their name synonymous with motorcycle helmets. In fact, you didn't have a helmet, you had a Bell.
Today Bell is fully rededicated to the world of motorcycle helmets. The spirit of invention born in the garage behind Roy Ritcher's old Bell Auto Parts Store is alive and kicking at Bell's state-of-the-art Santa-Cruz research and design lab.

Reviews of this property
Room in an excellent environment - I definitely book again. People with knee Problems should not book this - 50 steps; but for me this was not an issue.
all worked well
It was really wonderful. Everything was so easy and the room was really clean and well equipped. The house and neighborhood is beautiful.
The location is really good, so closed to the tube station.
I completely recommend this room.
Many thanks
Nice room. On the smaller side, but was enough for my needs. Bathroom is shared (IIRC only with one more guest room), but very clean and nice. Fridge and kettle were very useful too.
Just 5-mins walk from Chalk Farm station - very convenient! Primrose hill (great panorama of central London!) is also very close.
I had a good stay. Thank you, Stella!
Even though the bathroom had to be shared. It was a very pleasant, nice and comfortable Stay. Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and Stella was also very friendly and helpful. Camden itself is a calm and beautiful district of London. We liked it very much. Another big pro about the Appartement of Stella is the very Short distance to the tube (chalk Farm). All in all we can say we would Love to come back.
Clean, practical, British small room in a very good location (tube, park, cafes, shops, restaurants, all very close) very close in a pleasant neighborhood, Camden Market, which just has a price. Sorry, no kitchen facilities, but tea and snacks possible. Stella is a very friendly hostess, uncomplicated and accommodating - but her father wants to be respected. Recommended.
Sauberes, praktisches, britisch-kleines Zimmer in sehr guter Lage (tube, park, cafes, shops, restaurants, all very close) in angenehmer Nachbarschaft, Camden Market sehr nah, das hat eben seinen Preis. Leider keine Küchennutzung, aber Tee und Snacks möglich. Stella ist als Gastgeberin sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und entgegenkommend - ihr Vater will aber auch beachtet sein. Empfehlenswert.
Nice house, great deal with the Sr.Luis father of Stella.
The room and bathroom correct, good location
Thank you very much
Bonita casa,trato estupendo con el Sr.Luis padre de Stella.
La habitacion y el baño correctos,buena situacion
Muchas gracias
Great room,
Not suitable for 2, the bed is a push at being a double bed. Having a fridge and kettle is great.
The heating system is crazy, but keeps the room more than warm.
The bathroom was nice.
The whole flat is very up to date and modern. Definitely worth it if you want to see camden.
There is a little shop about 5 min up the street when you go left out of the front door, it has your basics. A lovely coffee shop right outside the front door.
Quiet location just few minutes by walk from Chalk Farm tube station. Clean and cosy room with everything you can need. Absolutely recommendable!
Very good location, near the subway and the stables from Camden Town. Clean with towels and a cooler in the room. We attended Luis, elmpadre of Estella, was very kind to us. We returned very happy and eager to return.
Muy buena ubicación, cerca del metro y de los establos de Candem Town. Limpio, con toallas y una neverita en la habitación. Nos atendió Luis, elmpadre de Estella, fue muy amable con nosotros. Volvimos muy contentos y con ganas de regresar.

- Flexible degree with individualized attention. The diversity of majors and small class sizes allow students to design their college experience around their career goals.
- Highly skilled and experienced faculty. Within the program all faculty are practicing professionals in the fields of dance, theatre, or musical theatre.
- Comprehensive curriculum. Students are required to take core courses in modern, jazz, ballet, and improvisation so that they leave AU with a well-rounded education and marketable skills.
- A focus on refining the body, sharpening the mind, and providing an open environment to deepen connections between spirit and faith. This approach to mind, body, and faith frees students to become well-balanced individuals with the skills to pursue professional interests and servant leadership.
Admission to the dance program is by audition.
The dance program at Anderson University creates a balance between mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is to create an environment where students explore creativity and movement, experience faith and spirituality, and excel in dance academics and theory. Core requirements include ballet technique (Vagonova and Cecchetti), modern technique, jazz technique, improvisation, and partnering for ballet and modern. At AU, dance courses are taught by some of the finest professionals in the field including guest choreographers and guest faculty. Students perform in two major dance events each year and in Anderson University's Candles & Carols, the annual Christmas concert. Dancers may also audition for musical theatre and opera productions.

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
BigStu's chocolate brwnie recipe from post 1147 on this thread .
worth trying.
Chocolate Brownies
200 grams butter
200 grams plain chocolate
600 grams caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs -- large
250 grams plain flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
Preheat oven to 180C, Gas 4
Prepare a small rectangular roasting tin or oven proof dish approximately 8 x 12" (20 x 30cm). Grease or line with baking parchment.
Melt the butter and chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar and vanilla.
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until well blended each time.
Sift the flour and cocoa together, add to the mixture and beat for about 1 minute, until smooth.
Pour into prepared tin, and bake for about 45 - 50 minutes. The mixture needs to be just cooked, so start testing with a cocktail stick at about 40 minutes - it should have moist crumbs, but not wet batter, still clinging to it.
Cool in tin until cool enough to handle, then cut into pieces, but leave until completely cold before removing from tin.
I cut this size into 24 pieces (8 x 3), but it could easily make more smaller pieces as it is very rich.
You can make a half quantiity and bake in a 7 x 7" tin for about 40 minutes (test after 35 min)
NOTES : Use the best chocolate you have; 40 - 50% cocoa solids makes great brownies, but 70% cocoa make superb ones!
Enjoy big_smile

That sounds really delicious. I want to try it... Sounds a bit more complicated than baking I've done before, but probably worth the risk or burning some chocolate.

From books to deer heads, James McKee and Nick Shaw like to fill their office space with their collections.
James McKee and Nick Shaw run Fracture, an Auckland-based design company specialising in digital, branding and packaging.
The pair, who have designed and created websites for clients including architecture firm Jasmax, design company Citta Design, juice giant Charlie's and artist Luke Jacomb, work from a quirky Central Auckland studio space, complete with a wall of deer head barometers, Mad Men-inspired retro furniture and space-age rubbish bin. (Their own website is also worth visiting, it's like playing a video game: fracture.co.nz).
The stylish creative duo talk us through a few of their favourite things.
1. Luke Jacomb paddle
Luke Jacomb is arguably New Zealand's best glass-blower (go on, try to argue with us). Coincidentally, he is also an old friend of ours, so we wangled a sweet deal in exchange for one of his fine glass-blown paddles.
If downtown Auckland ever floods, we'll be one step ahead of everyone else. Now all we need is a matching glass-blown canoe.
2. Robo bin
Remember back in the olden days when you had to lift a rubbish bin lid manually? Ahhh, so quaint. Our space-age office is decked out with the future of trash receptacles: the robo bin. The bin's high-tech proximity sensors recognise impending rubbish disposal. This activates a series of internal gyroscopes, which launch the bin lid open and close it again automatically. The satisfying whirrs and clicks of the robo bin in action make chucking out stuff a real joy.
3. A&M wagyu beef burger
We're big fans of food. Agents & Merchants make one of the things we love to eat, a wagyu beef burger. Sure, the waiter might smirk a little when our entire table of 10 grown men all order the same thing but such is the power of this life-changingly delicious burger. We would also like to take this opportunity to ask A&M to bring back the curly fries. Please.
4. Having a Fiji-based beer client
If you don't have a Fiji-based beer client yet, you should get one. Ours is called Vonu Pure Lager; they're the best. Perks include "work" trips to Fiji and a steady supply of product. Drawbacks include: nothing we can think of.
5. Whisky
Here at Fracture, we like whisky and ... more whisky. So when we discovered there was a website that catered specifically to our needs, we were all like, clickity click, glug glug. Deadwood has a lot to answer for.
6. The wolf
We're lucky enough to have our own version of Pulp Fiction's Winston Wolfe. Sometimes Friday nights at the Fracture office can get a little messy. Luckily we have a man who comes in at the weekend and knows just what course of action to take. He takes care of business, cleaning with efficiency and discretion, which is just the way we like it.
7. Our wall of deer head barometers
Some people trust just one barometer, but when it comes to accurately measuring atmospheric pressure, we prefer to do things properly. That's why we have more than a dozen deer head barometers (plus a moose and a gazelle) mounted on our office wall. We don't know why we started collecting them, but we can tell you whether it is going to rain tomorrow.
8. Coffee machine
The hardest working member of the Fracture staff, our beloved Butterfly, is always under a lot of pressure. Her daily warmth provides us with inspiration, motivation and sometimes she makes our hearts skip a beat. We love you, Butterfly.
9. Mad Men series five
The latest season of Mad Men had so many awesome twists and turns, we are kind of sad that it is all over. We promise not to spoil anything, but how about that one bit where the guy in the suit does that thing and then the other guy in the suit smokes a cigarette? Draperrific viewing for the whole family.
10. Our library of design books
Nothing makes us look more like designers than our extensive library of design books. All the classics are in there: Design Volume 1, Designing Things and Stuff, and The Big Bumper Book of Design for Grown-Ups. Truth be told, we don't technically "own" most of the books; they're on long-term loan from Mr Brian Sparks (who, coincidentally, is our 11th favourite thing).

eNotes Teacher's Corner: To Teach or Not to Teach—That is the Question
Teacher's Corner is a monthly newsletter from eNotes just for teachers. In it, experienced educator and eNotes contributor Susan Hurn shares her tips, tricks, and insight into the world of teaching. Check out this month's Teacher's Corner column below, or sign up to receive the complete newsletter in your inbox at eNotes.com.
Recently over lunch, a dedicated career teacher told me that she could no longer advise anyone to go into teaching; the joy is gone, she said, with teachers now locked into regimented lesson plans and required to spend all their time chasing test scores. She also worried about what we're doing to kids in the classroom—demanding more and more of them at younger and younger ages. There's no time now to let them be kids, she said, or color outside the lines, if they get to color at all. It was a depressing lunch.
I drove home with a lot to think about, especially since I had encouraged my own daughter when she decided several years ago to change careers, earn a second college degree, and go into the classroom. Had I steered her wrong? Remembering our animated conversations after she began teaching, however, I don't think so. Teaching may be different today—the demands greater and the stressors more intense, but it still engages the heart and the mind in ways unlike those of any other profession. No two days are alike, and every day is a fresh opportunity to achieve something glorious, even for one unforgettable moment.
Students aside—and that's a big aside—it's true that our profession is less respected in some quarters than it once was, for reasons that seem to be bound up in politics and publicity. If a teacher is arrested for some terrible offense in any part of the country, it becomes national news; a steady drumbeat of these stories erodes confidence, creating the impression that teachers somehow have degenerated into an immoral lot, not to be trusted. On the positive side, however, every time teachers risk their lives or lose them trying to protect their students, which seems to be happening more and more frequently, their actions make the news, too. Ask the parents of those students if teachers can be trusted.

Wyeth decision ends pre-emption dreams
Writing for the majority, Justice Stevens said Wyeth's argument for federal pre-emption "relies on an untenable interpretation of congressional intent and an overbroad view of an agency's power to pre-empt state law." Stevens shot down a 2006 FDA statement in support of pre-emption as "entitled to no weight" and contrary to congressional intent, noting that "FDA traditionally regarded state law as a complementary form of drug regulation" and asserting that while the agency has limited resources to monitor marketed drugs, manufacturers "have superior access to information about their drugs, especially in the postmarketing phase as new risks emerge."
"Failure-to-warn actions, in particular, lend force to the [Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act] premise that manufacturers, not the FDA, bear primary responsibility for their drug labeling at all times," Stevens wrote.
Dissenting were Justices Scalia, Roberts and Alito, who argued that while state tort suits can peacefully co-exist with the FDA's labeling regime, "this case is far from peaceful co-existence" and said "the state-law rule at issue here is squarely pre-empted."
A Vermont court awarded the plaintiff in the case, a musician who lost her right arm after a botched administration of Wyeth drug Phenergan, $6.3 million in damages. The plaintiff, Diana Levine, argued that Wyeth failed to adequately warn in its labeling of the dangers of administering Phenergan through IV push, which can cause gangrene if the drug is injected into an artery instead of a vein. Wyeth maintains that FDA approval of the drug's label trumps state law.
In a statement, Wyeth called the decision "disappointing, not only for Wyeth, but for patients and public health in general."
"Patients are best served by a national standard for the labeling of prescription medications," said the company, "set by the medical and scientific experts at the [FDA]. When lay juries are permitted to second-guess the experts at FDA on the benefits and risks of particular medicines, the result is uncertainty for patients and doctors alike about how and when to use prescription drugs."
A narrowly framed February 2008 decision in the case of Riegel v. Medtronic established a measure of immunity to common-law claims for medical device manufacturers based on the principle of federal pre-emption. Bolstering the pre-emption defense has been a coveted goal of drug industry lawyers and tort reform activists. Under the Bush administration, the ironclad pre-emption doctrine seemed almost within reach. While President Obama has yet to make any court appointments of his own, this ruling suggests that prospects for pre-emption are fast drifting away.
Industry advocates fear the ruling could open the floodgates to a wave of litigation. "Plaintiff lawyers must be dancing in the streets," said John Kamp, executive director of the Coalition for Healthcare Communication. "It allows juries to second guess FDA and industry labeling decisions in virtually every failure-to-inform case. Since hindsight is 20/20 always, this decision destroys hopes for a uniform set of labeling and marketing rules. When rules are uncertain, inconsistent and shifting, it's almost impossible to have coherent healthcare policy that uniformly and effectively protect patients."

ITC hosts performances of 1937 slave narrative
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(March 20, 2007)--The UTSA Department of Communication and UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures will present a play showcasing the lives of emancipated African-American women, "Suppertime on the Garr'y," at 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, March 24 and 25, and Saturday, April 7 at the ITC Share Cropper's House.
As part of Women's History month, the slave narratives of Texans Rebecca Thomas and Fannie Driver will be brought to life by Carol Adams-Means, instructor in the UTSA Department of Communication, and Brenda Clark of San Antonio College.

Thomas was 113 years old and Driver was 80 and living in east Austin when they took part in a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program during the 1930s. They were emancipated slaves whose narratives were recorded by Alfred Menn, who was hired to document the lives of former slaves who settled in various communities throughout the nation.
Adams-Means found the narratives while researching her dissertation on the social migration of African-Americans and feels they can help answer questions about the social progression of African-Americans in the 21st century.
"We don't have to cross borders, eons or millennia to touch this history," said Adams-Means. "The slave narratives are a tangible part of Texas and American history right in our backyards. These valuable pieces of our ancestry should be revived, exhibited and performed for ourselves and for our children. There is still so much that we need to learn about our history."
Although Thomas and Driver never met, Adams-Means and Clark constructed the play around the idea of a fictional meeting of the two women as they talk about their lives one afternoon on the "garr'y" (front porch). The play incorporates several key aspects of the two narratives, including the physical and psychological abuse of the slaves and descriptions of the slave labor they were forced to endure. The story also includes the lighter sides of their lives, including various celebrations and the jubilation when slaves learned of their freedom.
Adams-Means is planning a performance for Juneteenth (June 19), the day Texas slaves learned the Emancipation Proclamation had freed them. The performance is the first of an eight-part multimedia exhibition on African-American Texas history. UTSA alumni and current students have been heavily involved in the project and include Ja'net Rea and Shari Clayton (script development), Joseph T. King (multimedia) and Douglas Chan (slave narrative mapping project).
Admission to "Suppertime on the Garr'y" is included in the Institute of Texan Cultures entry fee: $7 for adults and $4 for children (ages 3-12), seniors and military with ID. The museum is at 801 S. Bowie St.
For more information, contact Carol Adams-Means at (210) 458-7730.

Fumagilian, many commercial folks out there use it? What are your thoughts on the product, positive or negitive?
Fumagilian, many commercial folks out there use it? What are your thoughts on the product, positive or negitive?
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
Yes, still using Fumagilan, but feeding thymol crystals in all my syrup
We have always used it as a preventative measure spring and fall.
it is expensive though so this spring i decided not to use it.
we had a test done in June and there were zero spores of either kind of nosema, but we only took samples from one yard.(it was FDA funded study so it was free)
even though still putting it in the syrup this fall.
Marla Spivak said we should all stop using it and let the bee's work it out just like tracheal mites.
there is something wrong with the bee's right now but i think its a bad year for varroa
We have a new additive in our sub that target's the gut pathogens like nosema, it builds the good xyz in the mid gut of the bee. I was just wondering how many folks still fed fumagilian.

My feeling is that overwintered bees in northern climes are more susceptible to Nosema than are bees in warmer climes. I used Fumidil for a couple years and really saw that the numbers went down dramatically.........in my bank account. Honestly we had lower readings in our bees without treatment than we had when we were treating. Our recent tests were 6 of 8 samples were negative and two very low positives and thats with no treatments of any kind. Just one guys opinion in one set of circumstances.

Here's a product made by CONKLIN that's called FASTRACK.
It might bear looking at.

Fumagilian is much like Tiger repealant in Wisconsin.
Some times it is hard to see an effect, but if it is needed, worth the cost. The trick is knowing WHEN it is needed.
Crazy Roland
from Bee L
.) ...it is interesting to note what Zachary Huang's lab discovered
(ABJ abstract #14) about feeding fumagillin to honey bees to control
Nosema ceranae. In their studies, they found that the antibiotic impacts
both the parasite and the protein makeup of the honey bee intestinal
tract. In fact, as the level of fumagillin decreases in the bees over
time, it reaches a low level which actually stimulates spore production
of N. ceranae. A similar effect is seen with N. apis, but it is not
nearly so pronounced._It could be that the low levels of fumagillin may
be suppressing the honey bee immune system. The use of fumagillin as a
last resort cancer treatment in mammals severely impairs their immune
> Honestly we had lower readings in our bees without treatment than we had when we were treating.
That would be consistent with the most recent research which shows that it kills off the bacteria that make a biofilm that protect their gut from Nosema...
> I'm curious if there have been studies of the quality of the honey produced. Like exposure to fungicides, wouldn't an antibiotic result in a lower flora (microbe/enzyme) honey, via reducing the flora in the honey stomach?
I don't know about the quality of the honey, but it does disrupt the flora in their stomach and make them MORE susceptible to Nosema as well as other diseases.
But really worries me is that no one seems to care that it causes birth defects in mammals and has been outlawed in most civilized countries of the world because of that.

I've been told that the concentrations of active ingredients vary (significantly) in Fumagillin, leading to a slightly over-dose application recommendation; to avoid under-dosing and thus developing resistance. I suppose the answer is posted here somewhere, but can anyone confirm this?
I put the lemongrass product from Mann lake in all my syrup and sub. It's real spendy but ever since I started using it... never had nosema problems. It sure was a killer before.
fumagillian is one of those treatments I hate using the most
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I don't use it.
I looked a fellow beekeepers bees two weeks ago and he had some bad nosema problems. He drenched them with fumagilian last fall. He looked at my bees and said all he did was waste a lot of money.
I used it for a couple of years (during the great Nosema Ceranae) scare. I quit about 3 years ago. The first fall after I got results from testing the state of SD did which showed my levels at or near 0, I called and talked to Bob Reiners our state inspector to find out what he was generally seeing around the state. the first thing he asked me was "what are you doing to get numbers that low?". I said ummmmmm nothing Bob. He told me there were lots of high readings around the state and assumed I must be doing something different. I just said I dunno, I don't have a clue. Haven't used since nor have I gotten any high readings. My conclusion is when I was using Fumidil that the only count that it seemed to affect was my bank account.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I used it also during the big scare. after spending thousands of dollars to treat all my hives I just went without it and they all look great.
In some circles one could be vilified for even suggesting not using fumagilin. This is a material that has been around a long time and is a leftover from a time when we thought Nosema was a protozoa and not a microsporidian. It seems silly to use the wrong material for the wrong critter. Somebody is making big bank on it.
John B Jacob www.oldsolbees.com
So I have read down the answers to this thread and have one comment:
No wonder our national "winter losses" are where they are.
We use Fumigillian as directed in spring and fall.
When your "winter losses" break our record, ( 2.6% in 2010) we may try not using it.
This year: < 6% .
Do you suppose we could have done better if we had not used Fumigillian?
How did you do this winter?
I have exactly ONE hive more than than you.
That makes my opinion beyond dispute!

Providence may be the Creative Capital. But it is hardly the only community that has attempted to build a new economy on a foundation of laptops, paint brushes, and guitars.
Just down the road, Pawtucket is trying the same trick. And across the border, Lowell, Massachusetts and the Berkshires are on board, too.
Trouble is, says Lynne McCormack, director of Providence's department of art, culture, and tourism, the players in all these communities have not done much talking to each other.
Connecting Creative Communities, a conference convened by the city and the New England Foundation for the Arts that is set to convene the night of March 9, run all day March 10, and wrap up mid-day March 11 at the Providence Biltmore Hotel aims to start the conversation.
What will come of it? Well, that's not clear — which is OK by McCormack.
"We don't have any preconceived notions that we're going to go into the two-day conference and come out with an agenda," she says. "We just want to check in and see if it's a possibility."
There are, of course, plenty of obstacles to a regional approach. The folks who will convene at the conference — sponsored by the Phoenix, among other entities — are, on some level, in competition with one another. And it is a bit difficult to conceive of how New England's creative communities could market themselves as a collective.
Each area has its own brand. And New England, writ large, conjures images of "autumn leaves and lighthouses," McCormack notes, rather than gigabytes and graphic design. Indeed, Providence's own brand — the Creative Capital — is, in part, an attempt to push back at that generic New England image.
But McCormack says she hopes the conference will, at a minimum, allow for a better exchange of ideas — for a more networked region. And she has seen some intriguing models along these lines.
Massachusetts, she says, has done a particularly good job of connecting the dots — in part through a state office dedicated to growing the creative economy. Rhode Island's size, she says, has allowed for some real connectivity here, too.
Improving links region-wide would mirror what conference organizers are calling the "borderless" quality of the creative sector itself; the local tech company, in search of engineering help, is hardly restricted to its own backyard.
But can a regional approach work? It'll be interesting to find out.

Elite Level Upgrades - Hades[ Edited ]
Elite Levels are coming soon in Patch 1.04, but that's not all! In addition to the ability to ascend to Level 40, the Gods have deemed it fitting to bestow upon you new Items, Magics, and Relics for your Champion.
Over the next few days, we'll be highlighting each Godly Alliance and the new items associated with them. Today we're focusing on those who have pledged themselves to the Lord of the Underworld, Hades.
Hades Warriors are masters of deception and versatility. Two different Hades Warriors can have radically different stats, as one can focus on obtaining high Elemental and Physical power boosts, while the other can have the highest Elemental Resistance and Cooldown Reduction amongst any of the allegiances.
Coupled with these stats, a Hades specter has a variety of ways to escape into the shadows with his Items or use his Magic to summon the souls of the Underworld and have them directly attack an enemy or strengthen himself. For those who have sent Hades many new souls, and served his legion loyally, the Lord of the Underworld is now granting access to a powerful new Magic, offensive Item, and two new Relics.
New Item - Death's Wail is a powerful Warrior's shout that no mortal near you can hear without dropping to their knees and having a curse put on them. As the wail is strengthened, so too is the Warrior, gaining additional boosts in power every time it is used.
New Magic – Desecration allows the Warrior to summon the massive arms and clawed hands of the most tortured souls straight from the darkest depths of Tartarus. The large arms can swipe and attack enemies all around you multiple times and will easily cut off any path of escape. As the power of the magic is increased, the warrior will be rewarded further for each successful attack.
New Relics – Relic of Haste grants the Hades Warrior a boost to movement speed anytime magic is used. Relic of Carnage is a unique relic that allows you to heal nearby allies whenever a kill or assist is earned. With this relic, the Warrior gains additional versatility on the field of battle and proves that Poseidon is not the only one that can support his ally's health.
With these new gifts, Hades expects his warriors to dominate the battlefield. However, the God of the Underworld will not send his legions into battle without blessing them with some knowledge on how to take advantage of his new gifts:
- Equip Death's Wail and any weapon that applies a curse, such as theSpear of Hades, so when you activate the Item, you can quickly apply a second curse to an affected enemy. The curses will stack and cause the enemy to take a higher amount of damage. Now you can quickly finish off the enemy and he will not stand a chance at running from you.
- Combining Relic of Haste with Hades Torrent is incredibly useful as players tend to run from the large cloud or try to take advantage of you sprinting after them. Now you can force them to stay near you for a longer period of time, increasing the amount of health you take.
- Desecration is incredibly powerful on its own and covers a large area. Because of this, a great build depends on the match you are about to enter. If you enter a team based game, it will be paired excellently withRelic of Carnage, Death's Wail, or any weapon that can hit enemies in a large radius, such as War Hammer of Hades. Make sure to always stay near an ally and team up against every enemy. Or jump into any fight your allies are in and just land a single attack, in order to activate the relic. When you and an ally are outnumbered, active Death's Wail and Desecration while your ally unleashes his own attacks to quickly kill or disperse the opposition.

Re: Elite Level Upgrades - Hades
So the magic will cost 100? Think I will pass if that is the case, still looks like a good magic
Item and relics don't seem very useful reading the description but maybe on the battle things will prove differently
Can't wait to try them anyway

Tyrone Spong vs. Gokhan Saki Possibly Headlining GLORY's Spike TV Debut
- Written by Dave Walsh
GLORY is planning something big for their Spike TV debut. Originally the bout which was set for the fall was Semmy Schilt vs. Gokhan Saki, with Saki challenging for Schilt's Heavyweight Championship, but as we now know, Schilt showing up is a long shot at best. Glory have been pushing for Schilt to continue fighting, but with Bas Rutten's announcement on Monday it seems like everyone is admitting that Semmy Schilt is probably not going to continue fighting.
The rumored headlining bout for the GLORY Spike TV debut is none other than Gokhan Saki against Tyrone Spong, which makes a lot of sense as both men are more popular among American audiences and are the top fighters in Glory's rankings (of course Daniel Ghita sits in between them, but it happens). Tyrone Spong was the headliner for GLORY's American debut in New York City, winning the Light Heavyweight Slam tournament.
The two met in 2009 in K-1, with Gokhan Saki defeating Spong via TKO in an Extension Round.

An Hour with Epic Meal Time
We recount the hour we spent with the Epic Meal Time guys. Sadly, we didn't eat any bacon strips.
"Why do you do this?" asked the journalist beside me. The room erupted in laughter. "Uh, it's the fucking internet. Why did you watch 2 Girls 1 Cup?"
Known collectively as Epic Meal Time, six 20-somethings who look like the cool guys from college have been "cooking" insane amounts of high-calorie food, netting about 441 million hits for their now famous YouTube account. They explain, "2012 allows us to do this; everyone has an inner fat-ass." The press call I attended promised "Epic munchies and refreshments," which brought visions of artery-clogging hors d'oeuvres. Battered bacon balls deep fried with a Jack Daniel's glaze perhaps? Instead, when I arrived I was handed a beer from a cooler, instructed to sit on a foldout chair and began (maybe) a staring match with Muscles Glasses, who was wearing mirrored aviators. In front of him were burgers, an entire roasted chicken, a box of doughnuts, poutine, buns and bacon. "If we knew how to cook, it wouldn't look like this," explained the anointed talker of the group, Harley Morenstein, as he massaged the various foods together into a pile. "If you like all of these things and mix it all together, it tastes real better."
Suffice it to say, the promised "munchies" were a few loaded doughnut-bacon-hamburger hybrids passed around the room. I had to pass because, well, I'm just not that adventurous. Maybe if Mei-Ling were there she would've jumped at the chance to try something prepared by the Epic Meal Time crew, but I just couldn't bring myself to bite into a sticky sandwich two other people had already gorged on.
Things are looking good for the guys who began their cult videos planning to do a six-day workout and then stuff themselves silly on their cheat day. "Like every workout, we started on the cheat day," explained Morenstein, "and just so you guys know, we've collectively gained 160 pounds." The group is currently in the works with EMT to develop Epic Meal Time, The Movie and have recently signed with Collective Digital Studios. The boys will be heading back to their home in Quebec to perform at the Just for Laughs Festival, where they promise nine dead animals and a conversation on how the internet is what it is and how to make a living off it.

Could the Osaka sighting be decoys to throw spectators off the scent of the F3 teams heading for Honolulu most likely from Narita if flight arrival correlations with spottings in Honolulu are accurate?
LucyBell,How do you get teams to Honolulu in time? There is a way, but I doubt that World Race Productions used it. The famous Shinkansen bullet train from Osaka connecting in either Shinagawa or Tokyo and on to Narita could get teams there in time. The 3 flights that arrive Honolulu in time depart Narita in the evening. The total train time Osaka to Narita at minimum is 3.5 to 4 hours, so there would be ample time to get there IF F3 teams were released from a pit stop in Osaka no later than early afternoon December 19. Waiting at Kansai Airport Osaka for flights from there does not fit the available information.
Heee... to RFF nyluvs!Here is the deal:RFF is aware (100%) that B/R were recruited for the show (100%), that they wanted to do it (100%), and that they ARE reputed to be on the show (100%).Is this the identification photo I would have liked? well, not exactly.....esp after last season. Better photos are hopefully on the way!But nyluvs doesn't know that all of the mods cheerfully moonlight/are dragged kickin and screamin over to BB Updaters in the off season...so we all have our B/R hours.Michael has impeccable Face/Body recognition, TL put in more hours than anyone.So, that being said:RFF announces our first TAR team to be Rachel Reilly and Brandon Villegas "Engaged Couple"Now nyluvs...ahem.What this means for YOU is if you are right....you win a 6 week holiday doing BB Updating AT RFF with the BEST Updating team on the web.

Thanks for the memories
This might have been the last time we'll see Martin F. Brodeur at the Bell Centre ... certainly in a Devils uniform.
If so, he went out in 29-save First Star style ... as befits a homeboy legend.
Max Pacioretty beat Brodeur in the first period and he slammed the door thereafter.
Carey Price faced 19 shots and was beaten by Jaromir Jagr, Eric Gelinas (on a power play) and Adam Henrique.
With Price on the bench for an extra attacker, Dainius Zubrus made it 4-1 for the visitors.
That's hockey!
There were eight shots on goal in the third period.
New Jersey had two of them.
With Carey Price on the bench for an extra attacker, Dainus Zubrus scored an empty-netter
Devils take control
Young Quebec league product Eric Gelinas beat Carey Price through a mob of Canadiens and Devils with Josh Gorges in the penalty box, 80 seconds into the period.
With Carey Price similarly encumbered, Adam Henrique made it 3-0 on New Jersey's 10th shot of the game.
Brendan Gall;agher, off some brilliant playmaking by Lars Eller, looked like he narrowed the margin. But video review ruled the puck was redirected past Martin Brodeur by Gallagher's skate.
Canadiens outshot the Devils 14-9, 25-16 through 40 minutes.
Max and a Legend
Max Pacioretty opened the scoring with his 20th, a shot Martin F. Brodeur had a good, wide-open look at.
The lead lasted 10 minutes before the great Jaromir Jagr danced around Josh Gorges and beat Carey Price through a crowd of players in the Canadiens' crease. The goal was jagr's 14th and moved him past Mark Messier into seventh on the all-time list.
Shots were 11-7 for the home team.
New Jersey will begin the second period of a power play, with Josh Gorges in the box.
APOLOGIES to HIO followers for the technical problems that have put the kibosh on the Live Blog tonight. We're working on fixing it.
Fun while it lasted
We interrupt your enjoyment of heart-stopping, wide-open, end-to-end hockey to bring you ...
The New Jersey Devils.
The Chicago Blackhawks left town after Saturday's Bell Centre classic and, sadly, Montreal hockey fans won't see them again unless the teams meet in the Stanley Cup final.
Grinding, neutral zone-clogging, dump-and-chase soporific hockey resumes Tuesday night when New Jersey visits the Bell Centre.
Martin F. Brodeur will be in nets for the Devils, which means at least we'll see some slick puckhandling. And because it's New Jersey's last regular-season visit, it also mean the great Brodeur may be making his last start at the Bell Centre, where he's 19-9-1 with a 1.66 goals-against average and .939 save percentage.
Another ageless wonder, Jaromir Jagr, will have us dreaming of what might have been had the Canadiens signed him to play with Tomas Plekanec.
NOTE: There is some issue with the live blog. We're working on fixing it.

Religion and our Constitutions

HAS our nation lost its Enlightenment?
History texts call the period where people realized that they could use human reason to counter superstition and ignorance, "The Enlightenment". It was a time when humanity surged forward using human reason to challenge the ingrained aristocracy of the times and the control religion had over people's lives. The Enlightenment confronted the domination of the many by the few. The Enlightenment was a period of intellectual explosion coming about from the cumulative logic and knowledge acquired by all the previous philosophers and current thinkers, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and many others. The United States revolution against the tyranny of England's King George was a defining moment in the birth of a nation built by those who continued the Enlightenment through the 18th century. The United States "founding fathers" rejected the dominant paradigms of their time. They were not content with the influence the Church had on society and the emerging new and independent nation.

text: Has anyone here ever done a test to see how hot it can get inside a beehive during some of the hotter days in summer? I know that the bees try to regulate the brood nest temperature to keep it in the lower 90's or so, but just seems to me that when it is 100 degrees outside and you basically have a closed up box (the hive) in the sun, it would get way above that temperature no matter how much fanning they do. If so, the brood must be able to withstand higher temperatures without harm, as I have never seen bees hauling out dead larvae or pupae in large amounts during the heat of summer, like they will when they have chilled brood.

General Jones Flipped Here
posted at 4:31 pm on October 17, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Consider this post an addendum to our last, Gen. Jones Scoffs at Afghanistan "Surge" – Just Like Failed Iraq "Surge!".
Scott Johnson at Power Line points us to a Michael Goldfarb post on the Weekly Standard blog revealing an astonishing decision by our ancient enemy, President Barack H. Obama's National Security Advisor, Gen. Jim Jones.
As a tiny handful of you may recall, towards the end of our previous post, we noted a disturbing tendency of the top brass in all branches of the military; this trend may become determinative in Jones' final decision whether to support or oppose the recommendation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal that we switch to a counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy in Afghanistan, which would require adding 40,000 troops. We wrote:
It's not clear whether Jones is himself an anti-war leftist, but it's not uncommon for top generals to drift left as they progress up the heirarchy. It often seems that the bigger the command, the more the commandant "grows in office;" cf. Eric Shinseki, Anthony Zinni, and of course the ultimate recent example, Colin Powell. It's not hard to explain; at the highest levels of command, a general or admiral is less like a military leader and more like a cabinet secretary. Those who head up gargantuan bureaucracies tend to believe in big-bureaucracy solutions to all problems… witness Powell insisting that we could not depose Saddam Hussein without a buildup of half a million troops.
Powell must have known that was impossible; thus, had his advice been accepted, we could not have invaded Iraq at all — which would have suited Powell (and Shinseki and Zinni, and probably Jones) just fine.
Then we asked and partially answered the critical question:
Does that make such a general a leftist? In the limited sense of having a more Eurocentric (or even more European) viewpoint, yes it does. The reason that European armies typically refuse to fight is that they can't risk their soldiers' lives on anything smaller than the tank battles of the North-Africa campaign. This fits well with the so-called Powell Doctrine: Never send troops unless it's worth refighting World War II… which of course it never seems to be.
In addition to the other strands of evidence we presented, we now have a new piece of the puzzle, via the Weekly Standard blogpost linked above.
There exists a group that calls itself "J Street;" J Street claims to be pro-peace and pro-Israel but is easily demonstrated to be just the opposite: It's pro-Palestinian and very, very anti-Israel, to the point of being antisemitic, in my opinion — notwithstanding the fact that most members are ethnically Jewish and many are religious Jews as well.
(How can that be? In my worldview, one kind of antisemitism is to insist that of all the peoples in the world, only the Jews have no right to a homeland and must remain nervous, barely tolerated guests in other people's countries. This definition holds no matter the cultural or religious affiliation of the bigot doing the insisting. There are self-hating Jews, just as there are self-hating blacks, gays, and conservatives.)
As Power Line reported, J Street is holding its first annual feast and gabfest soon, and a great many Democratic senators and representatives have signed aboard as "hosts." Alas, so did a couple of Republicans; but it was clear from the outset that many of these sponsors, even many of the Democrats, were fooled by the seemingly pro-Israel rhetoric of J Street: These hosts weren't Israel or Jew haters; they were just useful idiots.
In the last few days, as word hit the street about J Street, their "Gala Dinner" has been shedding sponsors like my old Alaskan Husky used to shed fleas. From the Weekly Standard blogpost:
The anti-Israel organization J Street has been hemorraghing sponsors for its conference as Senators and Congressmen learned of its true agenda. Just in the last few hours, Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Reps. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Leonard Boswell (D-IA), have asked to have their names removed from the host committee. [Sen. Thad Cochran, R-MS, 68%, demanded yesterday that J Street withdraw his name as well. — DaH]
And then comes the kicker, which is the point of this post that you are reading now…
So J Street has played its hole card: Obama national security advisor Jim Jones has accepted an invitation to participate.
And we now have not just a squabble over J Street. We now have a "teachable moment" about the Obama White House.
To tote up some of the positions of J Street, I must combine information dug up by Michael Goldfarb, Paul Mirengoff, and Scott Johnson:
- Avrum Burg, former speaker of Israel's Knesset (parliament), is closely associated with J Street; he declared that "to define the State of Israel as a Jewish state is the key to its end," then went on to compare Israel to "pre-Nazi Germany."
- Prominent J Street member Henry Siegman compared Israel to South Africa under apartheid; he also appears to support the Walt and Mearsheimer conspiracy theory about a "Jewish lobby" that controls the American government (search on Power Line for many posts about this offensive and antisemitic absurdity — enthusiastically and monetarily endorsed by Israel's great friend, former President Jimmy Carter);
- J Street receives much of its funding from Arab-American and Moslem-American organizations, as well as from Palestinian and Iranian lobbying groups;
- J Street is "bitterly hostile to the democratically-elected government of Israel" (especially now, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu);
- Another luminary invited to speak at the Gala Dinner is "poet" Josh Healey, who suggests that Israel is at least metaphorically "writing numbers on the wrists of babies born in the ghetto called Gaza," yet another equation of Israel to the Nazis; Healy extols a march he joined for "Palestinian solidarity."
With the notable exception of the Obamacle's high priest, Chief of Staff Rahm Israel Emanuel (yes that's his full name), the most consistently leftist members of Obama's cabinet and administration have adopted anti-Israelism as a core element of their leftist foreign policy: That is, they blame Israel, not Iran, for nearly all the violence in the Middle East and demand "concessions" that would, in fact, be an Israeli suicide pact.
Gen. Jones eagerness to participate in the Gala Dinner of such a group as J Street is a very strong indicator that, at least with regard to foreign policy, he is indeed a leftist, aligning himself much more with antisemites Samantha Power, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Jimmy Carter than with Israel supporters like Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-CT, 85% liberal) or Charles "Chuck" Schumer (D-NY, 100%).
Is it too hard to believe that if Jones is in bed with Power — policywise, I mean; get your rmind out of the gutter! — on the demonization of Israel, that he's likely to agree with her position, and that of the others in Obama's leftist bloc (including the One Himself), on Afghanistan?
Asked and answered.

I took a deep off last night and there were a couple of frames, 1 had about 25% uncapped and another about half. Is it ok to use this uncapped honey? I don't know how I would separate it from the caped honey anyway.
Also I noticed about 4 little black beetles which I assume are SHB running around in the super. How concerned should I be about this and what should I do? I was considering an oil trap under the SBB, any thoughts? I did find maybe 2-3 on my sticky board when I checked it, but no mites!!
I used a bee escape for the first time but after 24 hrs there were still like 100 bees in the super. Is that normal?

How to create a Catchall without an Email Account? (for example to a gmail address)
A catchall in ispconfig requires a mailbox. But you can forward the emails from that mailbox to gmail automatically.
Is it possible for you to change it so it is also possible to create catchall without mailbox?
Is it possible to automatically delete the email that are forwarded to the gmail?
Sure, you can change the ispconfig sourcecode as ISPConfig is released under a OpenSource license.
Maildrop syntax:
to "[email protected]
Sieve syntax:
redirect "[email protected]
Tnx Till but I'm not clever enough to do that
Not sure where to change this?
Email > Mailbox > Custom rules
I added
as Custom mailfilter recipe but the mail doesn't get redirect and deleted.
And your're sure that you use sieve and not maildrop on your server?
Sorry don't even know what sieve is. What kind of impact will it have if I change from maildrop to sieve?
Your system supports either sieve or maildrop depending on the software that you installed on your server before you installed ispconfig.
If you installed courier imap, then you use maildrop. If you installed dovecot, then you use sieve.
I use maildrop.
Is there another way to delete the mail when forwarded?
Is it a big change in ispconfig to be able to create a catchall without mailbox?
Then use the amildrop rule that I posted and not the one for sieve.
Sorry I was still sleeping and not reading well....
It works well now
Catchall without Email Account, ISPconfig 3 + Dovecot + Sieve
We also required a catchall without mailbox solution for Dovecot/Sieve on ISPconfig 3. I found that these steps work perfectly.
1. Create a new mailbox for the domain (e.g.: [email protected]).
2. Create a catchall for the domain that points to new mailbox.
3. Edit mailbox and go to the "Custom Rules" tab. Enter these two rules:
redirect "[email protected]
If I use these rules, an email sent to "[email protected][email protected]
Suppose your catchall mailbox is "[email protected]
cat /var/vmail/domain.org/catchall/.sieve
Contents of the Sieve filter file are as follows.
require ["fileinto", "regex", "date", "relational", "vacation"];
redirect "[email protected]
Notice the "keep;" line added by ISPconfig 3 at the end of the file? If you do not specify "stop;" to terminate the Sieve script, Dovecot will execute the "keep;" command and place a copy of the message in your catchall mailbox.

Hui-neng (638713) is perhaps the most beloved and respected figure in Zen Buddhism. An illiterate woodcutter who attained enlightenment in a flash, he became the Sixth Patriarch of Chinese Zen, and is regarded as the founder of the "Sudden Enlightenment" school. He is the supreme exemplar of the fact that neither education nor social background has any bearing on the attainment of enlightenment. This collection of his talks, also known as the Platform or Altar Sutra, is the only Zen record of its kind to be generally honored with the appellation sutra, or scripture.
The Sutra of Hui-neng is here accompanied by Hui-neng's verse-by-verse commentary on the Diamond Sutra—in its very first published English translation ever.
