What is the most important information I should know about ibandronate (Boniva Injection)?
Do not take an ibandronate tablet if you cannot sit upright or stand for at least one full hour. Ibandronate can cause serious problems in the stomach or esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth and stomach). You will need to stay upright for at least 60 minutes after taking this medication.
Take the ibandronate tablet first thing in the morning, at least 1 hour (60 minutes) before you eat or drink anything or take any other medicine.
Take each dose with a full glass (6 to 8 ounces) of water. Use only plain water (not mineral water) when taking an ibandronate tablet.
For at least the first 60 minutes after taking an ibandronate tablet, do not lie down or recline; do not eat or drink anything other than plain water; and do not take any other medicines including vitamins, calcium, or antacids.
Some people using medicines similar to ibandronate have developed bone loss in the jaw, also called osteonecrosis of the jaw. Symptoms of this condition may include jaw pain, swelling, numbness, loose teeth, gum infection, or slow healing after injury or surgery involving the gums. You may be more likely to develop osteonecrosis of the jaw if you have cancer or have been treated with chemotherapy, radiation, or steroids. Other conditions associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw include blood clotting disorders, anemia (low red blood cells), and pre-existing dental problems.
If you need to have any dental work (especially surgery), tell the dentist ahead of time that you are using ibandronate. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.

That nobody has signed Karlos Dansby yet?
That nobody has signed Karlos Dansby yet?
He was asking too much for a 32 year old MLB.
I'll be surprised if he isn't signed after the draft (unless he just plain retires).
Steve Spagnuolo is also available. Shocking, I know.
i dont think there will be any real activity free agency wise until after the draft. there are alot of good free agents still out there but i think most teams have turned most of thier attention to the draft
2015 season tbd
I got to be honest, i would love Dansby but he def wants too much money
But on the flip side I hate the general consensus about his age like a 32 year old football player can't be a top notch player in the league. People not wanting to sign him because he is "too old". It wouldn't be like he would get a long term deal, not that length of contract even matters in the NFL in reality, but its just stupid to see. We want production.
Plus im pretty sure most would be happy if we had a guy like London Fletcher or Ray Lewis type production for the past 3 years at MLB

Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The physical objects you rely on to help you run your business (like furniture, machinery, vehicles, computers, telephones, or even the building that houses your business) all have significant value. The total value of these assets has a direct impact on the overall worth of your business, and there are tax implications if you sell an asset or if its value changes. That's why it's important for you to keep an accurate tally of everything your business owns. Today's lesson will provide you with plenty of opportunities to do just that.
Accounts Payable I
Without an organized system for managing all the bills your business receives, they can really start to stack up. And when bills pile up, it isn't hard to overlook one or two from time to time. That, of course, can result in late fees and credit difficulties. Today, you'll learn how to use QuickBooks to make sure you're paying all of your bills right on time—not too early, and not too late.
Accounts Payable II
Today, we're going to finish our discussion of QuickBooks' accounts payable tools. You'll learn how to get QuickBooks to memorize bills that you find yourself paying over and over again, month after month. Then, you'll learn how to create some useful accounts payable reports.

Today is the day you'll get some hands-on experience with invoicing. You'll find out how to create an invoice, fill it with invoice items, edit it, print it, and even email it to your customers.
Accounts Receivable II
Okay, so you've created an invoice and delivered it to your customer. With a little bit of luck, your customer will place the invoice on his or her "to-do" list and, eventually, you'll receive some form of payment for your troubles. Now what? You'll find out in today's lesson.
Accounts Receivable III
Today, we'll explore some useful customer-related reports that can help you keep track of exactly who owes you what. Then, you'll learn what to do if you ever incur a charge on behalf of a customer and wish to be reimbursed for that expense.
Inventory and Estimating
Today, you're going to learn how to customize your QuickBooks invoices to give them a more professional look. You'll also learn how to work with two of QuickBooks' more advanced features: inventory tracking and estimating.
In our final lesson, you'll find out how to create, use, and memorize a wide variety of useful reports that can help you locate, organize, sort, total, summarize, and otherwise make sense of all those transactions you've painstakingly entered into QuickBooks.

Toyota FJ40 Icon - The TLC BioconPosted in Features on April 17, 2007 Comment (0)
Jonathan Ward and his team at Toyota Land Cruisers (TLC) have created some of the most memorable Toyota FJ-series vehicles to date. We were so impressed with their TLC Icon vehicle that we put it on the cover of our Feb. '06 issue. All Icons are handbuilt in very low volume in Van Nuys, California, by a small crew of six specialists, one at a time, with handtools. All design work is done with CAD to ensure standardization and to improve efficiency of the operation. The concept behind the Icon vehicle was to create something that would offer the consumer the classic good looks and style of the original FJ40 vehicle with the driving performance of a modern vehicle. With a little bit of research and a whole lot of know-how, they have now added a biodiesel version into the Icon family. As we take a walk through this more-than-impressive vehicle, we can only wonder what TLC will think of next.
TLC began development of the new "Biocon" by researching many engines and manufacturers. Although they have always been big fans of the non-USA Toyota diesel engines, this was not an option due to the fact that service parts are not available in the U.S. After also investigating the more common North America market diesel four-cylinders, they came to the conclusion that they were either too heavy, too tall, too long, or too difficult to adapt to the chassis. Ideally, TLC wanted to use a high-pressure direct-injection motor but discovered that there is not enough technical support in the service sector to ensure that their customers would be able to find support for maintenance. The new electronics-intensive diesel engines require special tools and training barely present at the dealer level, not to mention in the general repair community.
In the end, they chose a proven, simple, and highly reliable engine made by International called the HS 2.8L VNT. Four cylinders, 2.8 liters, high-pressure rotary-injected with Garrett variable turbo and intercooler. This engine features quality Bosch support parts, simple electronics, stellar reliability, and extreme longevity. The fuel system was designed to be directly compatible with biodiesel. Delivering plenty of performance with loads of torque down low where it's needed (276 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm) while averaging 25 to 30 mpg, this is a four-wheeler built with exploration and the environment in mind.
The Icon begins life as an old FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser ('60-'78). The truck is then stripped down to the frame, and the extra parts are recycled back into the Land Cruiser community or are sold as scrap metal. All of the textiles TLC uses are from environmentally conscious suppliers.

The surface body coating is a TGIC Teflon/polyester hybrid powdercoat which emits no CFCs or VOCs in its application. The powdercoating was developed with Andrews Powder Coating and Cardinal Coatings and is far tougher than paint. The powdercoating keeps the vehicle's body looking new: All you need to do is simply wipe it down with organic dishwashing soap mixed with 50-percent water. Best of all, the finish never needs waxing and is UV-stable.
Instead of the traditional petroleum-based undercoatings, TLC uses heat-cured polyurea from Line-X which not only helps protect the body from road debris but also adds heat and vibration insulation with no potential negative effect on ground water as with petroleum-based coatings.
The original frame is modified by reindexing the rear suspension hangers, removing the crossbrace, adding a removable center crossbrace, and boxing the nose. That frame is then powdercoated, and the process begins.
The original axles are replaced with new Dynatrac Dana 60 and Dana 44 assemblies that are offered with either a limited-slip in the rear, a locking ARB differential in the rear, or locking ARB differentials front and rear. Brakes are four-wheel-vented and slotted power-assisted discs based on GM designs. For improved load rating and ride comfort, special Old Man Emu leaf springs from Australia are used on all four corners with greasable pins and anti-inversion shackles, nitrogen shocks, and poly bushings. The rear leaf springs are 7.5 inches longer than the original design.
For improved weight distribution and a lower center of gravity, the fuel tank has been enlarged and repositioned to the rear and boxed by the frame. The original fuel tanks were directly under the fixed passenger seat. TLC also redesigned the floor structure to ease rear-seat entry and to expand the front passenger foot area, which was always an issue with the vintage FJ40s.
Painless Performance helped develop a specific wire harness and switch package for the vehicle. Steering is accomplished via an ididit collapsible tilt steering-wheel column using a PSC 17.5:1 steering box mounted to the frame ith an Advance Adapters fit kit. ARB supplied the front bumper, lockers, compressor, and Dakar suspension utilizing FJ40 and FJ60 parts for an improved ride. GM was chosen for the fuel-injected, 350hp, roller-rocker, 5.7L Ram Jet small-block engine, and the Dodge NV4500 transmission with the Advance Adapters Atlas II transfer case delivers power to the axles thanks to J.E. Reel custom driveshafts. A McLeod CNC clutch system was used to ensure long-term service under heavy demands.
TLC is now offering the Icon in four standard colors, including Quartz Rock White, Mocha Brown, Rocky Mountain Gray, and Slate Blue. After exploring the trails in Johnson Valley and hugging plenty of thornbushes, a quick wipe-down with Simple Green and water restored the finish.
The interior features forward-facing seating for four, with three-point shoulder belts for everyone. The entry and exit to the rear seat through the front doors is drastically improved over Toyota's original design, with front seats that tumble forward to the dash, allowing tons of room. Both front seats recline and feature long floor tracks. The rear seat is also removable, or it can be tucked and tumbled forward for storage room. The seats are covered in Mercedes marine-rated vinyl and an innovative woven vinyl that is highly durable (originally intended for outdoor furniture) and looks like woven strands of steel and titanium. This material proved ideal for the heated seat elements with controls hidden in the Tuffy console. The same material is backed in rubber and used for the floor mats. Also inside the console is an Alpine CD XM/AM/FM iPod stereo, with four Infinity Kappa speakers cleverly integrated into the body structure in their own CAD-designed aluminum pods. The steering wheel is from a Cat diesel, and the gauges are from an aircraft supplier. The windshield frame latches and dash knobs were selected from commercial refrigerator and tooling suppliers and are stainless steel. To address the traditionally poor dash lighting, a clever stainless hex bolt protrudes from the center of the dash and casts light across the dash controls and 12V power port (a second power port is in the rear speaker pod). The HVAC system uses components from TLC's favorite A/C suppliers to provide full in-dash heat, A/C, and defrost with exceptional air volume.
In keeping with the handbuilt, low-volume production, each Icon is built to order. No two will be alike, with unique colors, surface coatings and textiles to meet each owner's tastes and utility needs. The Icons are available in two different styling packages: the New School and the Old School. The New School features a more modern industrial look with an ARB Bull Bar, a Kaymar dual-pivot Class II rear bumper, and American Racing Teflon-coated 17-inch alloy wheels. The Old School is more of a throwback to the original FJ40, with stock, gray-powdercoat steel wheels and hubcaps and stock front and rear bumpers. The original body-mounted spare-tire carrier is also maintained with the Old School package.

The Environment
TLC built the Icon with the premise that the people who spend the most time in wild places have the greatest interest in preserving them. The Icon emits less harmful emissions in a day full of stop-and-go driving than the original Land Cruiser did idling in a parking lot. Its modern drivetrain design provides more than triple the horsepower and double the torque of the original 'Cruiser while reducing emissions and increasing efficiency thanks to its intelligent gearing, modern fuel-injection system, oxygen sensor circuit, and sealed fuel system. TLC further reduces environmental impact by recycling an older vehicle instead of producing a new one. No CFCs or VOCs are emitted in the production of the Icon. TLC remains committed to the development of diesel, biodiesel, and electric drivetrain designs.
Icon Pricing
$96,050-$130,000; depending on options.

Any Florida beekeepers interested in showing honey and other hive products at the Florida State Fair? We have not had a honey competition for a long time, but I have been told by the Fair Authority that if there is sufficient interest they might be willing to include it again. The 2004 edition will be the 100th anniversary of the Fair- seems like a good time to renew an old tradition.
Let me know if you're interested.

Custom Robo: The sport of tomorrow. In the not-too-distant future, competitors battle
customized robot warriors in holographic battle arenas. Victory is determined not only by
fighting skill but also by how well Robo Commanders design their robot gladiators, so
players need both brawn and brains to survive.
Game storyline: In the not-too-distant future, mankind relies on tiny, telepathically
controlled robots to perform such dangerous tasks as deep-sea research, disaster relief
and interplanetary exploration. These popular and easily customized "Robosí¢â'¬? also form
the favorite sport of tomorrow: battling in the holographic arenas called "holosseums.í¢â'¬?
Now that criminals have taken to using these mighty miniature machines as weapons, the
Custom Robo phenomenon has grown into a problem for the whole of society.
Characters: A young boy transfers to a new school, where he meets Robo-battle
champion Saki, a young girl who won the championship partnered with her brother. Now,
she's looking for a new Robo Commander to groom into a champion, and in this young
boy, she sees remarkable potential. However, Saki has a secret, and when the young boy
discovers the truth about his new partner, his world changes forever.
How to progress through the game: The bulk of Custom Robo Arena takes place in
holographic battle arenas called "holosseums.í¢â'¬? Players pit their Custom Robos against
one another in fast-paced, melee-style combat. Each Robo can be outfitted with different
parts, from arm-mounted guns and bomb launchers to specialized pod weapons that have
their own unique behaviors. Some pods pursue the opponent, while others lie in wait for
the enemy to draw near. Players customize their robots by swapping out weapons, legs
and body frames to create the ideal combination of attack, speed and defense to suit their
gaming styles.
Outside of the battle arenas, Custom Robo Arena plays like a role-playing game in which
players walk through the futuristic city setting and interact with other characters as they
struggle to win the Custom Robo championship. The multiplayer aspect pits two players
against each another in the holosseum. Battles can be played using Multi-Card Play or
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and, if only one player has a game card, using DS Download
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Each Custom Robo is made up of a number
of distinct parts: a body, legs, a gun, a pod pack and a bomb launcher. Each of these parts
provides unique abilities. For example, guns have different ranges and effects, bombs
have different blast radiuses and pods have different behaviors. Any part can be attached
to any Custom Robo body. Players construct their ideal fighting robots and then take
them into the holosseum to fight. Battles are a combination of the player's skill " not only
at fighting but also at designing a superior Custom Robo.

i would give the book to my friend Ren who insists on only making bread WITHOUT a bread machine!!!ReplyDelete
i would love to have this book to give as a gift to my sister!ReplyDelete
I love this book and their baking method!! We just tried it:)ReplyDelete
This book looks very interesting and informative.ReplyDelete
Enter me to win. I've just heard about this book and am intrigued. I've always been intimidated by baking bread from scratch, but they say this book really makes it easy. My email is amy [at] streaminggourmet [dot] com. Best!ReplyDelete
I would love to win this book - the bread where I live is TERRIBLE and my baking skills limited (I don't like to measure things). It would be great (and fun) to be able to make our own bread but perhaps more fun would be learning how to make pretzels and chocolate beignets.ReplyDelete
ps Where do I leave my email address?
I twittered about it! http://twitter.com/StreaminGourmet/status/1245891553ReplyDelete
Great giveaway Jo! I twittered so here I am again. I would still give this to my sister!!!ReplyDelete
This book has been on my wish list for so long. I love to bake bread and honestly can't believe I haven't snatched up this book yet!ReplyDelete
I would love a copy of this book so I could move to the next stage of breakmaking.ReplyDelete
I've heard such great things about this book! I baked my first loaf of bread recently and can't wait to try more, like focaccia bread and rolls.ReplyDelete
I put it on the front page of my site. Right hand margin just below the fold. http://www.streaminggourmet.com/. My email is in my first comment post. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I would love this book so I can read it at home, instead of bit by bit in the bookstore like I have been doing. This is a wonderful book!!ReplyDelete
As a self-acclaimed bread snob I would use this book to show others that they can make their own awesome bread in the amount of time it takes one to pick out a mediocre loaf from the bread department, and oh so much better!ReplyDelete
What a great give away Jo!
i would love to have this book for so many reasons. main one is that due to food intolerances, i have a harder time eating prepared foods. this would help the hubster and i continue to eat well and not miss out on great food.ReplyDelete
thanks for the giveaway!
I would love this book because I love baking bread, but have not found enough time for it in the past year. I have just started bread-making again, and think this book would really help keep me rolling!ReplyDelete
I would love to learn to bake bread!ReplyDelete
I've been baking, but bread and me haven't really hit it off yet. I'd like to change that!ReplyDelete
I'm trying again! I think I'll enter every giveaway there is until I win one (or finally give in and purchase one)ReplyDelete
I definitely don't have more time than 5 minutes a day to bake bread! There's my reason :)
Um, my email is irishones7(at)juno.comReplyDelete
I'd love to try this out!ReplyDelete
I've never made bread before, so this would be a great place to start! my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com. I also twittered about this giveaway http://twitter.com/tcfoodieReplyDelete
I would like to have this book because I haven't had much success with these types of recipes and I'd really like to bake my own bread.ReplyDelete
I would keep the book all to myself! Muahahahahaahaha!!! and bake lovely breads for all my friends. :)ReplyDelete
I'm twittering and LJing it. Since you read both, I won't link. :)
I would love the book so that I can improve my cooking skills!ReplyDelete
I buy Artisan bread at least once a week. We are so in love! I would earn soooooo many brownie points with the hubby if I could make it at home. He might fall in love with me all over again! :)ReplyDelete
Our bread machine died last December after 8 years of weekly (and often bi-weekly) use. I am so accustomed to home-made bread that the store bought stuff now tastes like styrofoam - not worth eating! I have tried bread making using my stand mixer, I love the results, but it just seems to take so much more of my time to make bread. So of course 5 minutes a day sounds amazing!ReplyDelete
I am NOT a good baker, so I'd love to get this book in hopes that it would help me.ReplyDelete
I blogged!ReplyDelete
I can't tell you how long I've wanted this book. I used to make bread frequently, but have been unable to find the time lately... this book seems like a Godsend in that regard.ReplyDelete
... and twittered!ReplyDelete

I'm not here for the competition, but did want to add my 'oh yeah!' to this book. It's brilliant, and a great way in to making bread that's delicious and so very quick and easy. To all who did not win the book, it is well worth splashing out on buying it for yourself. Happy baking!ReplyDelete

Some call it art; others, graffiti. There's just no way to know with this guy: He materializes in the form of a sticker, a strip of barbed wire, vinyl records, scraps of wood, distorted pieces of metal, anything. And he can emerge anywhere: crosswalks, light posts, walls, newspaper boxes, traffic signs. His name is stikman. Yes, that's how it's spelled. Bob/stikman first appeared in New York's East Village in 1992, and has since turned up everywhere from Chicago to San Francisco, Philadelphia to Minneapolis, and Boston to Ann Arbor, Mich.
Depending on where he lands, stikman can elicit any response. Dan King of the Philadelphia art blog "Stupid Easy Ideas" called stikman "subtle and complex yet irresistibly seductive; a familiar icon of the human form." Although Lancaster, Pa., Mayor Rick Gray dubbed stikman "a better class of vandal," public works director Charlotte Katzenmoyer treated the decals as graffiti and removed them accordingly.
This divide begs the question: art or graffiti? When asked about that rift, Bob/stikman told the blog "Street Art NYC," "Art meets real life in the space we all share."
From his vantage point, there's room in the world for all opinions. But public works departments have a duty to treat defacement, however artistic, as graffiti.
For instance, the City of Lancaster funds a public arts program, which encourages creativity, celebrates diversity, and gives local artists a chance to shine. So for them, stikman isn't a groundbreaking statement about making art for the people. Rather, it's just an annoyance.
Every year, cities spend millions of dollars to discourage and remove graffiti (San Francisco, $20 million; Chicago, $6.5 million). The nationwide Graffiti Hurts campaign defines graffiti as "the words, colors, and shapes drawn or scratched on...surfaces without permission."
stikman is the textbook definition of that. When he appears in a sticker, he's easily scratched away. But in his wire or metal formats, he sticks around for months.
Maybe that's the point. There are far more articles praising stikman's subtlety and everyman artistry than dubbing him vandalism. Perhaps that just means street artists are more vocal than public works departments. But nonetheless, the latter tend to view stikman, as Lancaster puts it, an invasion.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." With those words, the Declaration of Independence set forth the idea of equality. But the women at the Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, felt that a key phrase was missing. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and others rewrote the Declaration. "All men and women are created equal," they insisted. They resolved that it was "the duty of the women of this country" to fight for suffrage, or the right to vote.
Seneca Falls was the beginning of a long road to suffrage. Those who wanted to expand voting rights to all Americans were called suffragists. Suffragists demonstrated, gave talks and traveled the country.
In 1872, Susan B. Anthony voted in Rochester, New York. She was arrested and convicted of breaking the law. "My natural rights, my civil rights, my political rights, my judicial rights, are all alike ignored," she said at her trial.
Six years later, Senator A.A. Sargeant, of California, introduced an amendment to the Constitution to ensure that women could vote. But it took another 42 years before all women in the U.S. were guaranteed the right to vote.
On November 2, 1920, 8 million American women voted in a presidential election for the first time. The women who blazed the trail did not live to see that historic day. In her last speech, one month before she died, in 1906, Anthony urged women to continue to fight for the vote. "Failure," she told her audience, "is impossible."
One Step at a Time
Women worked hard to get the vote. Here are some of the main events.
1848 The Woman's Rights Convention is held in Seneca Falls, New York. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes the Declaration of Sentiments.
1869 Stanton and Susan B. Anthony (shown) form the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Only women can join. Lucy Stone forms the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). It is open to men and women.
1872 Anthony and supporters vote in the presidential election. They are arrested.
1878 A woman suffrage amendment is first introduced in the U.S. Congress.
1890 The NWSA and AWSA merge to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
1912-14 Women hold rallies in New York City and Washington, D.C.
1917 Police arrest women who are picketing outside the White House. By 1918, about half the states have granted full or partial voting rights to women.
1919 Congress passes the 19th Amendment, called the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It is ratified, or confirmed, one year later.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt.
—Gospel according to St. Matthew
We are all daily in violation of multiple Biblical injunctions—coveting this or that, for example—but, as someone whose scholarly work is conducted in museums, I always feel particularly awkward about this one. Laying up treasures is just what museums are for. Rust, moths and a thousand other kinds of pestilence (especially Insecta: Dermestidae) are our ancient adversaries.
People who work in museums are a lot like the fabled King Canute, remembered for plunking his throne on the beach and commanding the tide not to come in. He got wet. By creating museums, we try to stop the tides of entropy and decay from ruining our earthly treasures. Whether we can permanently avoid getting wet is a difficult question.
A spectacular recent case of true treasure laying up is the project to restore the huge flag from Fort McHenry (Baltimore), which, of course, was originally made without any intention that it should last forever. The latest price tag for preserving it is $18 million (soon you will be able to buy a Jasper Johns painting of a flag for that!). Perhaps I am in the minority for believing such an expenditure to be close to a foolish sentimentality. All the powerful symbolism of the flag exists quite independently of the object itself, and most people do not require this particular flag to be any more concrete than Washington's cherry tree. Perhaps making it real even diminishes it. But it has survived, tattered and falling apart, and is therefore a terrible responsibility.
For the money spent to preserve this single artifact one could do a lot of good work in some existing museums or (Heaven forbid) found a new one or two. Beyond simple cash, however, the example of the flag causes us to ask a deeper and nastier question: Must every symbol be made patent and material? Must every possible artifact and natural object be collected and saved? How, where? And why?
Evidently we do think everything must be saved, for we are building museums at a phenomenal rate to hold all our "stuff"—more than one a week for the past few decades. It is rumored that a few years ago museums were being founded at a rate of one per day.
Material things—artistic, natural, historical, technological, frivolous, serious, dead, alive, sublime, trivial—occupy a place of unusual importance in our 20th-century lives. Not only do we create and use material objects on a scale never seen before, we also study them intensively and collect them passionately. The institutions that hold these objects for the public—museums, defined broadly—play an ever-growing role in the collection, preservation, study and use of all this richness of nature and talent.
Science has contributed greatly to the tasks of preservation, conservation and restoration of all material objects. But it has not succeeded in driving down the price of these functions, and perhaps even the opposite is true. Meanwhile there is much we lack: a safe, effective insecticide for museum collections, for example. Science has been particularly useful in making the inventories of museums more accessible through electronic means, and we are just on the edge of broad access to images of museum objects—again, all at huge cost.
But, of course, nothing electronic will substitute for the one essential role of the museum—to present the "real thing." Certainly, an electronic image of the venation of a bee wing can be transmitted across the world and provide an identification. But no reproduction of the Louvre's Winged Victory of Samathrace or of the Rembrandts stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum can substitute for the real object.
In a highly materialistic world our obsession with the physical objects of culture is hardly surprising. The museum collections of America are a treasure beyond the dreams of avarice, comprising perhaps more than a billion paintings, drawings, sculptures, thousands of houses and estates, ships and railways, countless antiquities, ethnographic and archaeological specimens, and more than a billion natural history specimens. Whereas nature in all its glory created many of these objects, honest toil and occasionally genius created the rest. Emperors and barbarians of every age have killed for such treasures (often for these very ones). They are the material manifestation of something intangible and precious: our cultural heritage.
Our culture has evolved in a strangely Darwinian way. We have built it only on fragments of the past rather analogous to the chance mutations that nature throws in the path of evolving organisms. We take these scraps and make major landmarks out of them. Particularly in the past 150 years, we have worked to construct our own histories by using not just all the written documents but also the "objects" of history in a sort of intellectual back casting that authenticates our roots. And so we collect and preserve everything we can, and everything is given cultural value and meaning, trash and all.
In America's museums you can find everything from the guns with which Lincoln and Kennedy were shot to last year's computers, from Mongolian dinosaurs to butterflies from Fiji. We have museums dedicated to Andy Warhol, American Indians, the pretzel and the mushroom. And why not? "Out there" among the general public, the "collecting" hobby has become an even more madcap, high-stakes business. A brief look at the contents of what is (often rather disingenuously) called an antiques store, or reference to the multitude of books devoted to "Collectibles" and their prices, will show the scale of the problem. Everything is being saved and collected—1950s plastic cap pistols, Barbie (of course), and toothpicks, beer cans, mass-produced "collectible" plates and dolls.

Hello all,
First let me say thanks in advance to all posters who can lend me some of their perspective on my situation.
I am not a beekeeper (yet), but plan on adding 2-3 hives in the spring. My plan is to go treatment free, foundationless in 10 langs or similar.
I recently had an offer tossed over my way to get two hives (2 deep brood configuration) for $500 + extras below. The hives have been in existence for two years, this is their 2nd winter coming up. The bees are of unknown origin and had some queens, that may have been hygenic, but this was not possible to confirm, so I am assuming feral bee traits so I don't get my hopes up.
1. unknown stock
2. have swarmed and the queen is likely to be made from the hive
3. not treated ever (see below, this isn't a case of treatment free management, rather untreated bees)
4. hives seem strong according to seller
1. two deep 10 lang hives with enough stores to get through the winter
2. 6 extra 10 langs with frames, comb drawn out in each frame for a total of about 75% drawn out comb across all frames.
Along with the deal comes:
1. A couple hive tools
2. an old smoker that is on its last leg
3. two bee jackets, one with veil and one with hard helmet
4. queen exlcuders
5. home made bottom boards that are screened.
1. getting out of bee keeping after 2 years, said he didn't have time needed and didn't put the effort in needed.
Each hive made it through last winter and then he did two splits that failed (he thought the bees probably absconded and went back into their original hive). He has been bee keeping for 2 years and this would be the second winter. He said not all the equipment is new but all of it is serviceable. It sort of feels like he just let the bees go, instead of managing the bees in a treatment free format. Said they produced one deep super and probably would have done two but he didn't get back to the bees to put another super on.
My gut tells me that these bees may die this winter due to lack of managment style. So I sort of feel compelled to treat this as a hardware buy and if the hives make the winter then I am lucky.
Any opinions on this deal? Let's pretend that I would have the hives inspected in the next week and everything comes back good.

Kill High-Speed Rail in favor of Self-Driving Car Autobahn?
Original post made by Forward, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jan 24, 2013
I mean, what are the advantages of HSR? Speed, freedom FROM having to have a car, energy use.
What are the disadvantages? Lack of personal autonomy as one has with a vehicle, perhaps the need to rent a vehicle at either end or use a vehicle to reach a station, enormous cost to operate safely, need to maintain ridership to support operations, energy use (yes, this belongs in both), very expensive to build, requiring a huge amount of lead time, stations, wide right-of-ways required, etc.
I've thought for the last 20 years that we needed a HSR in California, and I think it would have been great if we'd had one. But the future is here, and HSR is not the most advanced or flexible way of transportation for the next 50 years.
This is a serious question: Instead of HSR, why don't we instead build an autobahn for (electric only) driverless cars?
It would give the opportunity for speed, energy savings, freedom FROM having to drive, but without many of the disadvantages of a train. If we took the money for the train and simply invested in the vehicles and rental/charging stations, the government could far better recoup its operating costs in a more flexible scenario. Plus, over time, as people themselves buy cars that can operate driverlessly (and that meet the stringent requirements of such a throughway for safety), it means the populace is basically voluntarily underwriting the renewal of the vehicles. So long as the government maintained a certain number of rentals so that everyone could rent if they wished, it would remain a form of public transportation. The government could also enter into contracts with rental car companies, further reducing the government investment. Plus, once people arrive at their destination, they just switch from autopilot to pilot and drive away (if they wish) or turn the car in and take other public transportation. Or have the car drop them off and find its way back or to another rider who wants to take it!
Plus, building such an autobahn would be more flexible, easier to add to and maintain, among many other advantages. It would not depend on a certain flow of ridership to keep it afloat, and it would very likely require a narrower right-of-way than rail.
And, icing on the cake, California would be leading in the world again instead of playing catch up!
The HSR is so expensive and locks us in for so long. I voted for it, but given the new potential for autonomous, driverless vehicles, I think we should take some time to reflect on whether we should do something much more forward thinking, that gives us the advantages of HSR and few or none of the disadvantages.
And no, I do not work for Google!

Oh, and two more advantages to a driverless car autobahn: easier to protect from sabotage and less likely to be deadly to so many people in the event something goes wrong. Also, easier to bring innovations to than HSR which would be way less flexible.

This is a great idea, it is so much more practical. No loss of home value if you live too close to Park or Alma, no loss of home to Eminent Domain if you live on Park.

A separate "auto" autobahn could even make it possible for cars to join up to reduce aerodynamic drag...
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Feb 18, 2013 at 1:47 pm
I have always in the past been in favor of HSR until the costs started adding up and now I think that something along these lines would be the way to go instead.
We are no longer talking about self driving cars as being too far in the future and even if they start out as partial self driving, this type of autobahn could work as a much better system.
Apart from privately owned cars joining this autobahn, there could be zip car schemes as well as company cars and other types of rental cars that could enter the autobahn.
I could see this as being something truly innovative and the worldwide leader in such technology. Rather than jumping on the HSR at the end of its life, yes we should be jump starting a brand new technology.

Directional boring begins in Backus
EBI Directional Drilling out of Duluth, MN began directional boring in Backus on July 29.
This directional boring is the first physical step towards connecting Backus to the wastewater treatment facility near Pine River, a project began when the city was notified by the MPCA in 2005 that the Backus sewer system needed to be updated.
Lee Bundy, city water/wastewater operator said boring and other sewer line related construction is estimated to take 3 months under optimum weather conditions.
"They'll be pushing into October," Bundy said.
Greg Kimman of Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc said that, as of August 5, 4,000 feet of pipe had been laid. The crews on the job have been installing an estimated 600 feet per day. There is currently only one crew on the project, though there will soon be two more crews.
The wastewater pipe will follow a route next to the Paul Bunyan Trail and connect to the wastewater treatment facility in Pine River.

Reader astounded by statement about income tax adjustment
I am astounded by Don Bye's statement in his Lake Country Echo column of May 16, positing that, "An adjustment in income tax is appropriate for all who are fortunate enough to make more than they need for their own expenses."
Mr. Bye is, of course speaking of an upward adjustment in taxes as his column applauds the Democrat-controlled Minnesota Legislature for its $2 billion proposed increase in taxes on Minnesota's citizens.
Mr. Bye, like other progressive/liberal ideologues, suffers from the same self-delusion that, somehow, he (and they) is better equipped than the rest of us to determine what constitutes our "expenses."
Further, who among us is this omniscient Grand PooBah who has all the wisdom to know, to a certainty, how much money is enough to cover our expenses, and how much is too much?
Mr. Bye's statement, on its face, can only mean that if you have some money left over on Dec. 31 of a given year, you have more than you needed to cover expenses for that year and, therefore, let the taxman cometh and taketh the excess! How utterly breathtaking a concept and how completely void of reason!
This is simply another expression of the "fair share" mantra we hear so much in America today.
I believe that if I am "fortunate" (another term that Mr. Bye uses that irritates me for it gives me no credit for my own efforts) enough to have excess funds, that (1) they belong to me, and (2) that I am best equipped to decide how to employ them.
I may wish to give them to family members who are struggling or to charities that I believe do good works or to purchase lottery tickets or electronic pull tabs (to help pay for the Vikings new stadium).
I don't have this freedom if Mr. Bye's redistribution of income plan is in effect.
Mr. Bye wants this excess money to go to the government to fund all of the programs it has decided are best for you and me, many (maybe most) of which have proven to be black holes. See, for example: www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/04/09/wasteful-government-spen....
The sheer arrogance of Mr. Bye's statement and the repercussions of it being implemented give serious pause to where this country would be headed if it were to become the norm.

Reviews of this property
We spent some wonderful days at Genie's and Skate's picturesque house. It is close enough to the centre of town in order to reach it quickly but far enough to be able to relax on the sofa on the terrace having a fantastic view on the city. The place has a lot of charm. Genie and Skate are wonderful hosts that made us feel at home. Moreover, they gave us many helpful tips for our trip through California. We do hope to be able to come back.
Jeannie and Skate are very friendly people and we enjoyed our stay at their home. If come to San Francisco again i would like to stay there again.
We really enjoyed the stay, Jeannie and Skate are real nice, the place is confortable and the garden, wonderful! Well situated, the perfect place to rest after a whole day exploring the city. The neighbourhood, Cortland St., Precita, etc. are a place to visit in SF!
I spent 3 days with my family at Jeannies and Skates house in SF. It´s a lovely place with a beautiful garden and a wonderful house with nicely decorated rooms and a stunning view. The shared bathroom is no problem at all, we didn´t even notice that there was somebody else. The Mission district is within walking distance. To Castro and Haight Street it takes half an hour by bus, same to Downtown.
Jeannie made it very easy to get in touch very quickly. We had a wonderful stay with Jeannie and her daughter. They even took our son to join a party, he really enjoyed and loved the stay with the whole family. Thanks a lot again for having us, being ever so nice and lovely, we enjoyed our stay with you very much. I hope we´ll manage it to come back soon to meet you again and stay at your lovely place, which I would recommend to all people I like. Yours, Angelika
Jeannie and Skates home is a lovley place. The pictures do not lie, the garsen ia beautiful, the view is amazing. Rhe hosts took care of everything, we were even invited to join a barbeque. I would go there again for sure.
We LOVED Skate and Jeannie's magical house and garden.
Fantastic view over SF and the Golden gate bridge
We stayed for 3 days and everything was perfect. Jason helped us with everything.
We only have positive things to say about our stay.
Will 100 % recommend this place
Really great!
The room was exactly as stated in the description. A folder is ready, in which information and insider tips and assistance for public transportation and restaurant tips are etc.abgeheftet for guests. The garden and the view of the city is spectacular. Very hospitable and warmly we were received. One also gets the opportunity mitzunutzen not only the room and the garden, but also the kitchen. Unfortunately, we were too short in attendance to have our hosts closer to get to know. Should we again come to San Francisco, so Jeannie and skate would be our 1st choice for an overnight stay. We can only recommend nights at Jeannie and skate. Thank You Very Much !!!
Wirklich toll!
Das Zimmer war genau so, wie in der Beschreibung angegeben. Eine Mappe liegt für die Gäste bereit, in denen Informationen und Insider-Tipps sowie Hilfen für öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sowie Restaurant-Tipps etc.abgeheftet sind. Der Garten und der Blick über die Stadt ist sensationell. Sehr gastfreundlich und herzlich wurden wir aufgenommen. Man bekommt auch die Möglichkeit, nicht nur das Zimmer und den Garten, sondern auch die Küche mitzunutzen. Leider waren wir zu kurz anwesend, um unsere Gastgeber näher hätten kennenlernen zu können. Sollten wir nochmal nach San Franzisko kommen, so würden Jeannie und Skate unsere 1. Wahl für eine Übernachtung sein. Wir können Übernachtungen bei Jeannie und Skate nur empfehlen. Herzlichen Dank!!!

I would like to run my logic on a different thread then the rendering.
The problem: The logic thread moves the units around, generally changing their state, while the render thread tries to render them.
The most naive approach is to use a bunch of locks on the different entities. But as far as I know locks are performance eaters. Although I know that since hyper-threading that overhead has gone down significantly.
Another option is to copy the state on every render frame before I render it. But that also looks very expensive performance-wise.
I could also lock the renderer while the logic is running, but then what's the point of being multi-threaded?
So I'd like to know:
What is the correct approach to concurrent rendering while running game-logic?
