Calculating g from theoretical principles might seem to be
far easier than measuring it experimentally. After all, the theorist
can leave behind all the messy imperfections of the physical world
and operate in an abstract realm where vacuums and magnetic fields
are always ideal, and no one ever spills coffee on the control
panel. But theory has challenges of its own, and in the saga of the
g factor, 20-year-long experiments are matched by
30-year-long calculations.
What needs to be calculated is the strength of a charged particle's
interaction with a magnetic field. The problem can be phrased in
terms of something directly observable: Given a particle of known
mass, charge and momentum, and a magnetic field of known intensity,
how much will the particle's path be deflected when it passes
through the field? Classical physics envisions magnetic lines of
flux that induce a curvature in the particle's trajectory. Quantum
electrodynamics takes a different approach. Instead of a field
exerting its influence throughout a volume of space, QED posits a
discrete, localized "scattering event," where an electron
either emits or absorbs a photon (the quantum of the electromagnetic
field); the recoil from this emission or absorption alters the
electron's own motion.
A key tool for understanding such scattering events is the
diagrammatic method introduced in the 1940s by Richard P. Feynman. A
Feynman diagram plots position in space along one axis and time
along another, so that a particle moving with constant velocity is
represented by an oblique straight line. The Feynman diagram for a
simple scattering event might have an electron moving diagonally
until it collides with a photon coming from the opposite direction;
at this "vertex" of the diagram the photon disappears and
the electron reverses course.
There is more to a Feynman diagram, however, than just a spacetime
depiction of particles colliding like billiard balls. As a matter of
fact, in QED a particle cannot be assigned a unique, definite
trajectory; all you can calculate is the probability that the
particle will make its way from point A to point B. A Feynman
diagram represents an entire family of possible trajectories,
corresponding to collisions taking place at various positions and
times. Each such trajectory has an associated "amplitude";
adding all the amplitudes and squaring the result yields the
probability for the overall process.
The simplest scattering event—one electron bouncing off one
photon—was the process considered by Dirac in his first
computation of g in the 1920s. As noted above, Dirac got an
exact result of g=2. The reason this value needs correcting
is that the simplest, one-photon scattering process is not the only
way for an electron to get from point A to point B. The direct route
may well be the most important path, but in QED you dare not ignore
detours or distractions along the way.
One such distraction is for the electron to emit a photon and then
reabsorb it, somewhat like a child throwing a ball in the air and
running to catch it herself. The evanescent photon is called a
virtual particle, because it can never be detected directly, but its
effects on g are certainly real. Adding a virtual photon to the
Feynman diagram is easy enough—it forms a loop, diverging from
and then rejoining the electron path—but computing the
photon's effect on g is more difficult. The problem is that
the virtual photon can have unlimited energy. For an accurate
computation, you have to add up the amplitudes associated with every
possible energy—and without an upper limit, this sum comes out
infinite. These implausibly infinite answers stymied the further
development of QED for two decades.
The solution was a trick called renormalization, worked out by
Feynman, Julian Schwinger, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson. In
1947 Schwinger finally succeeded in calculating the contribution of
a single virtual-photon loop to the g factor of the
electron. The answer was given in terms of another fundamental
constant of nature, known as ,
which measures the electric charge of the electron and has a
numerical value of about 1/137. Schwinger showed that the one-loop
contribution to the "anomalous magnetic moment" of the
electron is /2π, or
approximately 0.00116. The anomalous magnetic moment is defined as
one-half of g–2, and so the corrected value of
g comes out to about 2.00232.

A freind of mine is suffering from Gall tones and is unable to tollerate any fat at all in his diet.
Has anyone got any ' tried and tested recipes ' that you know are good , tasty and simple to cook.
He and his wife are both very busy people .
They cook on an AGA and they also have a microwave cooker...just adding this as it might be helpfull as the AGA has a very slow cook oven as well as a full heat oven.

Re: FAT FREE RECIPES
Completely fat free? Just wondering, as some vitamins/nutrients need fat to be absorbed by the body and it seems that zero fat is almost impossible to achieve... In any case it does not sound like much fun.
Can't think of anything but raw or steamed vegetables and fruit...

No fun at all for him as he gets terrific pain if he has even the tiniest bit of fat.
He has been eating fruit, steamed fish and vegetables.
Also cous-cous and plain baked potato.
My friend was quite excited with kimbers recipe and as she had all the ingredients in the house was planning to cook it tonight.

Re: FAT FREE RECIPES
How did the recipe turn out? It was just fate that it arrived in my inbox that morning! I have been meaning to try it but have children home with fevers all week so have not made it to the grocers yet - hopefully this afternoon. Everyone is feeling better and is back at school.
I hope your friend enjoyed it. If I find any other recipes I'll pass them on. The other things they could try - subbing fat free items for regular {sour cream, cream cheese, milk etc}. When baking muffins I cut half the fat by subbing applesauce for half the oil or butter. The texture may be slightly different but if it helps

sorry to ask but how is that recipe fat free when it uses 4 tbsp of butter?
I know it is hard to find completely fat free recipes ( hence the internet searches) but i have a friend who is coming to visit and has Pancreatitis so she cannot have any fat at all!!! anything snazzy and fat free out there??

Re: FAT FREE RECIPES
A poached vegetable and chicken soup would be nice, if not snazzy, I did one for a friend with similar health issues totally fat-free, used some Asian flavors, just poach in the order needed to just cook the vegetables and boneless chicken breast.
Greek Yogurt Dip
Non-fat Greek yogurt
Fresh Lemon juice, garlic, chopped cilantro leaves, mint, scallions (to taste), s&p
Combine and let the flavors meld, serve with raw vegetables or use as a sauce over fish or chicken.
you could also make tandoori style chicken breast with non-fat yogurt and tandoori spices or paste, grill it on a non-stick grill indoors to avoid using oil.
sorry to edit: what about a japanese style meal, miso soup with tofu, sticky rice, grilled fish, daikon radish. I guess you should avoid the oily fishes.
Also, I've used non-fat evaporated milk instead of cream in recipes, it's a pure, quality product, nice combined with non-fat chicken stock as a sauce.

The Destination
In Astoria, hip artists' enclaves rub shoulders with dockside stalls selling delicious Dungeness crab. Once a hub of the West Coast fishing industry and home to more than a dozen seafood canneries, this tiny Oregon town celebrates its maritime history with waterfront dining, Pacific-inspired festivals, and plenty of family-owned shops. As the oldest American community west of the Mississippi, Astoria's hills are filled with stately Victorians, but the city also exudes neighboring Portland's mod eccentricities. After a day of clam-digging, grab a slow-drip brew from an independent coffee shop or catch a show at the Voodoo Room.
The Digs
Perched on a hill overlooking the Columbia River, Clementine's Bed & Breakfast is central to historic homes, thriving wildlife, and some of the city's best views. A restored 1888 Italianate Victorian, this five-bedroom B&B features feather beds and Egyptian-cotton linens, luxurious bathrobes, eclectic Victorian and Asian antiques, and a complimentary happy hour serving tea and wine.
Your stay wouldn't be complete with savoring breakfast in Clementine's dining room, where the multi-course menu may include sweet treats, like spicy buttermilk coffee cake or stuffed French toast, and savory dishes featuring local ingredients, like Dungeness crab eggs Benedict with steamed asparagus.
"It's a charming little town with lots to do: eating, shopping, hiking, museums, kayaking, etc. Judith at Clementine's provides a quaint little oasis. Be sure to check out her cooking classes—she knows her way around the kitchen and the food is tasty!"-- TripAdvisor

GPS from Proverbs
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Have you heard about Charles Blondin? Charles Blondin was a 19th century acrobat, famous for his tightrope act 160 feet above Niagara Falls on a rope that was more than a thousand feet long.
In 1860, a Royal party from Britain saw Blondin cross the tightrope on stilts, and again blindfolded. After that he stopped halfway and cooked and ate an omelet. Next he wheeled a wheelbarrow from one side to the other, and returned with a sack of potatoes in it.
Then Blondin approached the Royal party. He asked the Duke of Newcastle, "Do you believe I could take a man across the tightrope in this wheelbarrow?"
"Yes, I do," said the Duke.
"Hop in, then," replied Blondin.
Well, the Duke declined Blondin's challenge. He might have believed Blondin could do it, but he wasn't about to trust him with his life.
When it comes to God, this kind of belief is not much good to Him. God is looking for followers who will trust Him with their whole lives.
We know what trust means. We find ourselves having to trust people every day. We trust whoever built our house that it's not going to fall in on our heads. We trust the bank with our money. We trust whoever designed our video recorder that when we set the timer it will record the program we wanted. When we fly, we invest a tremendous amount of trust in the pilot, the maintenance crews and the air traffic control people.
We exercise trust all the time, without an extra thought.
Trust is the practical outworking of faith: It is when we trust God that we show that our faith in Him is real. We are to trust him with our whole hearts and put our whole lives in his hands.
The Christian, who has put his or her faith in God, has to get into that wheelbarrow when God challenges us. We are to trust in the Lord with all our hearts.
Trusting in our own understanding is like getting halfway across the tightrope and then shouting, "Hey! Blondin! You don't want to do it like that." Then we leap out of the wheelbarrow and start trying to push it ourselves. Doing this 16 stories above Niagara Falls on a tightrope would be madness.
But that's what we try to do all the time. We believe we know better how to run our lives than God; we try to lean on our own understanding.
We are to acknowledge God in all our ways. The danger of partially acknowledging God is that we will be half in the wheelbarrow, half out. Frankly that's not going to be very comfortable. And there is always the possibility that we might fall out completely.
And He will make your paths straight if you trust in Him with all your heart.
Sometimes there will seem to be insurmountable obstacles in our way, and we will begin to doubt that this is the straight path that God is leading us on. But this is all part of learning to trust in the Lord with all our hearts.
Removing the obstacles is His job! He will make your paths straight.
So be prepared to go where God is taking you, and be prepared to trust in Him to make the path straight. When we get into the wheelbarrow, we are ready to go where God wants to take us.

Town Square
The firefighters wage deal is good for both sides
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Aug 27, 2012
The unions for both public safety organizations have agreed to new contracts that reinstate employees paying their full share of the pension contribution. For more than 20 years, Pleasanton had paid both the employee share and the employer share.
That wasn't that unusual (Livermore still is doing so), but as pension costs have skyrocketed prudent city management and elected officials have been taking another look and extracting concessions from union members.
Starting July 1, 2013, both police and firefighters will pay 9 percent of their salaries for pension contributions. That amounts to a 9 percent pay cut.
The city's share varies, but is projected at 33.6 percent for fire fighters and 25.2 percent for police officers.
These huge numbers coupled with the 3 percent of salary at age 50 retirement plans that government units across the state granted to public safety employees when revenue was flush, meant pension plans that were way short of contributions when the actuaries analyze them. Fold in that the state pension plan assumes the investment returns will run at 7.5 percent compounded and elected officials have been betting on a come that likely won't happen.
For the Pleasanton unions, they had an excellent ride (and still have the retirement package) starting in 2000. Their salaries, over 10 years, rose a compounded 55 percent before the reality set in with the economic crisis and three years in a row of no increases. With city revenues dropping, wise heads prevailed and stopped wage increases.
The willingness of the employee groups to work with city management for voluntary concessions perhaps demonstrates the workers know they have it pretty good here.
For a public safety employee, this is quite a safe community to pursue their career with salaries that are comparable or higher than the more dangerous larger cities nearby (think Hayward, Oakland, San Jose or San Francisco) for either cops or firefighters.
Pleasanton looks and is quite safe by comparison.
A starting firefighter makes $5,800 a month, while those at the top salary step (no. 6) make $7,405 or $88,860 annually. To make more than this, a firefighter must be promoted to engineer or captain.
To the critics who whined about this settlement, chill. The city has worked with its unions to reach reasonable accommodations and is one of the leaders in doing in the state.
Yes, the situation needed to be addressed and total employee costs as a percent of the overall budget still need to come down. But, there has been significant movement in the right direction in key groups.

I saw the thread in the Town Square forum addressing this commentary, but none of those posters chose to answer you here. Knowing how conservative you usually are, I'm surprised to see your support for Union Contracts with Police and Fire Fighters.
I'm not pro-union but I'm not anti-union either. There's always potential for abuse on either side and that's what should be controlled, not blaming unions for everything.
Police and Fire Fighters have dangerous jobs and they never know when the danger will be there, even when it appears to be safe. These people deserve special consideration because they are there to protect us. I don't live in Pleasanton, but when I am in Pleasanton to shop or dine or attend an event, I like knowing that the people responsible for public safety are the best in the region.
Our Fire Department in San Ramon is exceptional. Our Police Department is outstanding. I would not begrudge them any benefits from the city, but the State retirement plan is insane. This isn't the fault of local unions, but of our out of control legislators. I'd rather see State Assembly members' pay cut than that of public safety employees.

Mr. Hunt - Biased at half-complete summary articles like yours are becoming quite tiresome. As I challenged the City Council, I also challenge you to a public debate where I will use the city's own information to demonstrate how late and inadequate this latest contract is. Please do let me know if you are up for this. In the meantime, let me help you complete your article so that Pleasanton residents can be more informed.
-The new contract still contains STEP raises which the typical fire employee gets every 6-12 months
- Fire received COLA raises in the 2000's every single year all the way through 2009 – this means they were getting raised through the first two years of the recession
- NET, the average fire personnel cost increased dramatically over this past decade to $235K/person
-The only reason why the police rate is lower than fire is because the city decided to pay off the $9M side fund, otherwise it would be much higher
-I'm sure the city is pleased with you publishing the 25.2% number without the context as it makes the problem with them seem less bad
-Fire like other agencies received huge retroactive increases to their pensions – for Fire it was 50%
-This give-away was not supposed to cost citizens any extra
-Clearly this did not happen which helps explain why our unfunded liability exploded from zero
-Employees appear more willing because they are not being asked to give up much other than contribute to their own pensions
-The vast majority of concessions will be forced on future employees
-Future employees and citizens are being sacrificed to protect current employees
-Your quoted numbers are laughable and show that you are being fooled by whatever information source you are using
-While these may be accurate, I can guarantee you this is not what they are taking home due to how the system is gamed
- How about starting with the $235K/person number I gave you and challenge/investigate the incomplete information you are being given
-If newspapers like yours and the City Council did their jobs, there wouldn't be any need for citizens to get more involved – trust me we would prefer to being doing other things
- We are tired of the growing problem (known since 2003) not being adequately addressed and the future of Pleasanton being dimmed because of this
-Just in this past year, the Council agreed to decrease the $121M (MVA) unfunded liability by 10% over 5 years – instead it has grown by $16M to $137M
-This wipes out by far any savings in this contract – in fact it wipes out most of the savings if not all of all recent contract concessions
Again, I'd be happy to debate anyone on this topic. Maybe then we'd determine who is doing their job and who is whining.

st: something wrong with how I define my biprobit ? or probit? or a bug somewhere
Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:57:41 -0400
Hello Statalisters,
I would like to estimate the following where y1 and y2 are both
dichotomous variables and endogenous.
y1* = alpha1 + betaX + betay2* + e1 (eq. 1)
y2* = alpha2 + betaX + e2 (eq. 2)
It is true that when rho is zero in a biprobit model of two equations,
then that means that cov(e1,e2) = 0 and that y2 is exogenous so that
one can just estimate equation 1 with simple probit.
Now when I try to restrict rho=0 with my biprobit and then run also
probit with the data and example below, it is wierd that I do not get
the same coefficient on variable private. With biprobit it is: -0.0180
and with probit, it is -0.177

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

Sydney showground '72 - best gig I've ever been too
I remember the concert came not long after the release of Led Zeppelin IV and the tickets were just over $4 I think. My mates and I were in the upstairs front row of the big stand to the left of the stage (Jimmy Page side) and when Zeppelin came on the concrete floor in the stand just shook as they launched into Immigrant Song. Still the best start to any concert I've ever been too and like others have said the sound was amazing for the time. I also remember the "If it rains we'll have to stop or we'll blow up" comment by Plant. Concert was unbelievable, double necked guitar for Stairway to Heaven, terrific acoustic set and I'm sure Bonham was hitting the cymbals with his knuckles in Moby Dick. There was extensive coverage including some great photographs in the Sydney papers a few days later. I've never seen another band so on top of their game. Absolutely, the best concert I've ever been too.

Been hearing all kinds of stories bout peeps still feeding. Not much honey being made in the dakotas & minn, speak up
Been hearing all kinds of stories bout peeps still feeding. Not much honey being made in the dakotas & minn, speak up
I haven't fed for quite some time now. Both my hives are doing exceptionally well. Lots of honey- they're starting on the medium supers. Flowers are plentiful and have been for a while.
It's spotty here. Some yards have a fair amount of surplus already and other yards are light.
Leer Family Honey Farm-Shannon Leer
I have never had to feed in the spring, dandelion bloom was strong this year. The main flow seems to have started, and bees are working like they should. FYI, I am located 30 miles east of Minneapolis.
Both of my hives look good also, I thought this was the commercial thread?
Clear Lake Wi. / Sebring Fl.
Very light. Started off great in may and tapered off significantly a few weeks ago.
I am on the prairie in Montana and after fruit bloom and dandelions ended, the bees brought in nothing for quite a while. A friend of mine had some starve before he figured out how light bees were. I have been feeding most but I see the alfalfa finally starting to break here so I think I made it.
We have had a few rare hives produce two deeps already. Agreed, spotty results. We will fire up the extracting room tomorrow, very early, in the 60's(I was a kid in the extracting room) July 4th was the norm.
Crazy Roland
We quit feeding most of a month ago, bees got off to a real nice start with a lot of hives making a couple of mediums but hot windy conditions and a lack of rainfall has really slowed things down.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Not much going on here. A couple hives have a super of honey, but all the empties still sit empty. Unless we get some rain, I don't think there will be much of anything this year. Most of mine are coming off of splits and they're struggling to work the third medium in the brood nest.
Regards, Barry
Its ben dry and windy this spring in eastern montana and all of my hives have been feed 5 gallons of syrup since they hit the ground in early May. The last 1100 gallons went out 6/21. But the bees are very strong with good stores awaiting the honey flow. So even though its more then i've ever feed in the spring i can't complain.
The frost and cold weather really hurt us this spring. We also need some rain, our main honey flow is just starting. We will be lucky to get half of what we had last year.
I finished feeding packages last week. The overwintered colonies have had honey supers on for a few weeks. They are just now starting to use them. I've got a few yards on alfalfa and am really happy that the land owners have held off on their first cutting.
-Phil Domeier
This is one of those white clover years in central Ky. Without hot and dry conditionswe could have had a flow thru July. Really getting dry and burning up the clover. Bees still have a shake and storing a little but has slowed down alot, I expect this weekends 95 plus temp to end it. looks like a 125 lb average on overwintered with some at 200. Splits make after almonds 1 to 3 med supers. A good crop but this was the yea to have a bumper crop if we ever get "normal" weather. Hoping to have extracting room finished and bigger system up and running first week of July and then we will see. Bees may eat alot of it as forecast is for 95 to 100 and no rain for next two weeks. Was hoping to stay in KY until dec 1...looks like that may change!
im located in se Minnesota. My winter colonies needed no feed. Been bringing in fairly steady flow of honey. Starter/nucs that I got early may I had to feed till 2weeks ago. Their strength to build up took longer than usually. They are bringing the gold now. If we get rain every 7 to 10days it will keep up.
We are 2 1/2 hours NW of the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
Our overwintered colonies get no feed.
The packages we installed around the first of May were provided with a gallon of 1:1 syrup. Most of them hardly touched it- which is unusual. Some took as long as 2 weeks to finish the gallon. I never gave them any more.
Right now we are having the best basswood flow we have ever had. No rain, flowers are full of nectar, and the bees are working from 6am to 9:30pm. All of the packages have filled or almost filled the third medium/second deep and some have started filling supers.
Overwintered colonies were split 3 ways with purchased queens and we are still going to get some surplus from most of them.
Today was Day 9 of the basswood flow. Very pleased with how things are progressing.
The main flow is starting and some yards have 3-4 supers filled and other just coming through the excluder. If we get an inch. of rain in the next month we should do a 150 lb avg. Extracted 179 supers yesterday to try new extracting setup. It looks like the honey is coming in 2-3 weeks early this year. Just hope the flow last longer this year.
Ron, you're teasing us. Did your extracting set-up work as planned?
Since the last report of 6-22-2012, both the scale hive at home, and 25 miles west at the shop, had been gaining 3lbs a day, untill today. The home scale hive did very little in the middle of the day, and only gained 1 1/2 lbs. It has been over 100 Deg F. the last two days, so I guess we should be happy they went up. Everything is dried up like late August. I have NO idea what they are finding at home in a suburb. At the shop, the alfalfa is blooming, so that is understandable.
Crazy Roland
Here in west central Montana, the bees are bringing in a little honey but most of the crp alfalfa my bees are on has brown scars where the buds were a week ago. The only plants blooming are in low spots or on patches of better soil. East Montana is burned up and brown. If we don't get rain, it is going to get pretty grim here. I was still feeding a couple yards two weeks ago. But on the brght side, I am still waiting for May queens from a Mississippi address.

I use the Default UI (Heretic I know) I'm not much of a mod person anymore and even when I do use mods they are minor things like a damage meter or a cosplay mod which lets me undress my dressing room character for easier application of trying things on (so I don't have to remove tabards etc.) or a rare spawn tracker, nothing too extreme, it's just how I always have been.
I like it :3.
I'm doing something a little bit naughty; taking a peek at ElvUI. Started playing around with it and realised you can configure it a lot to look like my custom one, but with a lot less cpu usage.
Tomorrow I'll have a go at configuring it more and post a screenshot of what I can come up with! (Would liked to have carried on some more tonight Damn server shut-downs.)
Here is what I've come up with so far.
Only AddOns I'm currently using are DBM and Qusemap, and of course ElvUI. DBM is being rather stubborn regarding the configuration - It will not let me change the fonts and size for some reason :\
A friend just told me that in 5.1 ElvUI profiles will get wiped clean and reset, so I'm not really motivated to configure it any more :P

LynUI — I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts
Heres my ui, don't have a ret pov vid yet but when I do il post. I could clean it up a bit but it will always be a bit messy, kind of like my room.
I think I'm slowly getting there with my UI. I can be very picky about stuff, so sometimes the smallest things takes me days (...took me around 8 downloads of fonts, before i found one, that i found decent).
Pretty sure that its easy to see where alot of my inspiration comes from (great UI youtube series :P )
Most of the elements for my prot pala is in that ss, except castbars, which are placed below my holy power indicator, the mid screen DBM warning and since crusader strike isnt on CD, you can only see the background (why the line above my holy power indicator is so fat)
...not alowed to post links or images yet, bleh

There you go. Beautiful - did you find some of your inspiration from Touchymcfeely? It looks like it a bit. I like what you've changed though. Out of curiosity, what data text addon are you using?
The font i use in it is Elemental End, and its a free font.
right here.
(Note: This is not my UI)
And hey, since you like the font, Elemental Ends

Columbia man accused of attacking fellow inmate
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A Columbia man with a long criminal record finds himself in trouble again.
Boone County prosecutors charged Malcolm Redmon with assault for allegedly attacking a fellow inmate inside the Boone County jail.
Investigators tell us the incident centered around a privilege system inside the jail.
Redmon faces a trial later this year for tampering with his electronic monitoring equipment and violating his home detention sentence.
Redmon's criminal history includes arrests linked to high-profile shootings and fights as well.
Redmon admits to being involved in a 2012 fight at Boone Tavern that led to a shooting.
He was also the intended target in a 2012 shooting at Chuck E. Cheese's in Columbia.

I wanted to give a plug for an outfit I recently hunted with.
Chris Sherman & Barneck Outfitters in Tilghman Island, MD.
A buddy of mine and I traveled from Texas to spend 3 days with Chris hunting Sea Ducks, Divers, and Geese.
He certainly delivered. We told him what we wanted to shoot, and he worked hard to put those birds in front of us.
We limited every day, and by the time we were done, we had collected every species we were after.
Chris was nice, professional, accomodating, and we had a fantastic trip. We will certainly hunt with him again.
If you are seeking a real Chesapeake Bay hunting experience, look no further than Chris Sherman and Barneck Outfitters.
You wont be disapointed.
Scott in Texas

"We're connected, you and I. You're left handed and my wife is as well".
I guess I fall in an interesting catagory. I eat and write with right hand, but for everything else, especially with sports, I use left hand. I don't think I'm a full ambidextrous, because I can't write with my left hand and my left hand is certainly a dominate hand.
Not really "wacky" but here is Laurie Holden's (The Walking Dead's "Andrea") zombie imitation
She could "zombie" me........if you get my drift.........wink wink nudge nudge......
And by zombie I mean....YOU KNOW.
I mean really.

Single side chairs can serve as the perfect accent in a living room. Here, a bamboo dining chair painted in sleek, glossy black brings a little of the sea to an otherwise landlocked living area. Seat cushions upholstered in a small-scale green print also complement the room's fresh, playful palette.

Or really in your kitchen, basement, or garage? I am curious what folks have fermenting away, I'll start. Fresh in my mind as I sampled yesterday.
I have two five gallon batches of orange blossom mead. They were started months ago and got some O2 and yeast stirring and nutrient to stimulate.
I have a 5 gallon blend of honeys that my girls gathered. Just leftover stuff from several years. The first mead that had heat added to the must.
I have a 7 gallon batch of 15% PAV mead still at 1.050.
I have a 5 gallon batch of 12% mead, was a little cloudy, will be bottled after the clay settles.
THere is also a 5 gallon batch of maple wine. Not quite done. Contrary to prior memory, the aroma and taste are very true to maple.
ALso 5 gallons of pinot blanc wine, wheat beer, and a belgian dubbel. On tap is a barleywine.
Do you enter competitions with your meads and are you a judge of any kind of standing? I have entered in the past and hope to be a BJCP judge down the road.

I recently purchased a DHT22 (Also known as RHT03 on Sparkfun) from Proto-Pic temp and humidity sensor with the aim of using it as an outdoor sensor in the garden. Although there are several DHT22 libraries on github I couldn't get the nethoncho one (or the patched forks) to return anything other than checksum error.
However the combined dht11/22 one I found linked on arduino.cc seems to work just fine. Need to test with -ve temps next but an overnight plot on the bench seems reasonable

content on the internet
and the considerable size of the pornography market online is a concern
to lots of different groups. However while the online adult sex
industry accounts for 12% of web pages, the internet
has also been used to express and explore a range of sexual
experiences, relationships and content that cannot be considered
"harmful". This kind content is very important to people's right to freedom
of expression and right to information.
Especially for people who have little access to resources, rights and
spaces in the "off-line" world. Learn more about these issues and the
research that APC is
doing to understand them better.

with you baby / Flirt a little, maybe / But does your mother know that
you're out ?" Twenty-something middle-class women in Mumbai, the city
with the highest internet

they present themselves however they want and how they deal with risky

connections – but is that freedom there to stay? In a country where
homosexuality is punishable by upto two years in prison, Nadine Moawad
assesses the role of the internet
in the rise of sexual rights activism in Lebanon and asks if Lebanon's
strict social controls are about to encompass the internet. More
(Jeanne Prinsloo for GenderIT) – Two out of three gay South African respondents to
an online survey said that going online had helped them accept their
sexual orientation and many admitted to coming out online before they
did so offline. But the voices of transgender people rarely appear in
studies and surveys. To address the gap, APC
EroTICs researcher Jeanne Prinsloo of the University of Grahamstown
looks at the use of a transgender site which provides a critical space
for trans people to lurk and listen to ideas and debates that are not
present in mainstream sites, to rehearse their new identity and to
assess the risks they might take. More

New Bill To Help Federal Firefighters Get Disability Benefits
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A new bill could help federal firefighters get on the same benefits as local crews.
Representatives Lois Capps and Pat Meehan of Pennsylvania are introducing the bill to help certain firefighters receive disability benefits.
The goal of the Federal Firefighters Fairness Act is to help federal firefighters harmed through service, obtain disability benefits the way local firefighters do.
If a city or county firefighter has a heart attack, lung disease or certain cancers, it is assumed their injuries are connected to firefighting. But federal crews must prove it.
"Our federal firefighters don't get the benefit of that doubt. Instead, they need to pinpoint the precise incident or exposure, that caused that illness. It's an impossible task. After a career of firefighting, how's a firefighter supposed to prove which fire gave him lung cancer?" said Capps.
Capps calls it an unattainable standard which causes a disparity that leaves some firefighters without care.
She also said she hopes to get enough votes for the bill by the end of this session of congress.

These are swarms that moved in this spring. My wife and I have seen this several times and always between 6-7pm and it only lasts for about 30 min. There's about 8 frames between brood, pollen, honey and nectar. I was planning on letting them swarm into the yellow nucs you see. I checked them soon after seeing it for myself and found that the nuc on the top had a small bunch of bees and a laying worker (several eggs in one cell) and honey. At that time I closed down the entrances of all the hives and figured I'd put it in gods hands now.
I've seen robbing before at one of my outside apiaries when I left wet honey suppers out. There were tons of bees falling like softballs off the upper corners of the lid but these guys are in town and it only last for a short while were as the other times it was from sun up to sun down.
I used the bottom bars off a couple bad frames and reduced the entrance down to a 1'' or so and there's a 1'' hole drilled into the upper side of the hive body. In the morning it'll be business as usual but I worry about the heat were having, it's around 95+
Thank you for your time and opinion.

58:THE FILM Trailer Unveiled
August 3rd, 2011
Ten major international Christian organizations unite to bring 58:THE FILM to worldwide audiences as part of global grassroots effort to end extreme poverty in our lifetime.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 28, 2011: Producers of 58: THE FILM have released the first look of the much-anticipated feature documentary on global extreme poverty at www.live58.org/thefilm. Following two years of principal photography in more than 15 countries, 58: THE FILM is set to be released this October in select theaters, on television, on iTunes, and in major church screening events across the country.
58: THE FILM is distributed through Compassion International and is the centerpiece of a multi-year, ten-organization world-wide Christian initiative to end extreme poverty by honoring the True Fast of Isaiah through poverty-eradicating action. 58: was created to join communities of Christians to cohesively work together to end extreme poverty in our lifetime. For more on the initiative, please visit www.live58.org .
Two weeks ago USA Today featured the "audacious optimism" of the initiative, which includes short films, a book, an online action and giving portal, and other grassroots strategies designed to inspire Christians to accelerate the end of extreme poverty. These organizations include Christian Reformed World Relief Committee, Compassion International, ECHO, Food for the Hungry, HOPE International, International Justice Mission, Living Water International, Micah Challenge, Plant With Purpose and World Relief.
Inspired by Isaiah 58, the film features life-changing stories of the poor, inspiring words from leaders, eye-opening facts and statistics, and examples of what Christians are doing to change the course of history.
"The film is a catalyst for action," said director Tony Neeves. "It will move people to respond together; therefore the distribution plan is designed to allow as many groups of people to experience the astonishing stories of the global Church rising up to do the unimaginable in our lifetime."
58: THE FILM is the inspiring true story of the global Church in action. Witness bravery and determined faith in a journey from the slums of Kenya to the streets of New York. Confront the brutality of extreme poverty and meet those who create stunning new possibilities for the future.

Seeing historical monuments and such getting destroyed is really painful.
I do think putting all of them in the same basket is wrong though.
Judging individuals as a group is the logical thing for humans. There's just so many people of gypsy ethnicity that can't adapt to the ideas and views of the majority, the ones that have different views easily get burried underneath.
Why do people always bring race into the discussion instead of just saying prejudiced in general. Now all we're going to have is a petty argument about semantics.
they sell chainsaws at my town.
4 Hp for 400 Zloty!!!
400 zloty = 130 USD, though you could probably haggle it to 80.
People make up a group. People have opposing viewpoints, but often have small amounts of similar ones that bind them with other people. Thus, people in a group do not all think the same things.
The only logical thing you can deduct from a group of Gypsies is that they are all Gypsies.
But as for homeless Romanian gypsies I don't know for sure how common that is.
I suspect everyone these days, you never know what might happen
You guys are basing this information on a TV station that said it was possibly them.
I'm going to just leave this here:
yeah, gypsies burning down a castle doesn't really surprise me.
No-one is forcing them to move around and live of stealing, they do so of their own accord and teach their children to do the same (some break off and lead a normal life of course, but no-one has anything against those). They're nomads, it doesn't fit well with today's society and economical system, which leads to poverty, which leads to crime, but it's their choice to remain nomadic.
Also I don't care about your economic and social situation, it will never justify kidnapping children, locking them in cages by night and using them to steal by day (not saying all Gypsies do that, but it has happened, on several occasions).
FUCKING PIKEYS!!! :argh:
They also took my dads ladder and stole all the wheels from our cars.
sorry I'd rather you address the problems as they come rather than lumping it all together
You'll rarely, really rarely hear someone bash Romani people, or "Róm"s.
There's this language barrier working in favor of the problem, as english speaking countries only have one term for both variations, a "gypsy". That's as far as I know.
All that history gone.
It hurts my soul.
These are the people that took the bronze plates off of that war memorial and sold them as scrap.
I do agree that judging people based on the majority is not right. It seems useless to give this much weight when talking about those people, though. Even the well-living romani people will agree that the behaviour of the so called cigáns isn't right.
Whats a gypsie?
Alot of people fought for our country and sacrificed themselves for our freedom and they just come along and basically say a massive FUCK YOU and deface something like that.
This is the biggest reason i hate them, taking the ladder and the wheels on our cars i can get over but basically SHITTING on people who layed down their lives is unforgivable.
Yeah ,a lot of gypsies here in Slovakia,people try to but they make it a really hard time for us to respect THEM.
And all of this for "lolitsdoshinit"
I'll be right back, i gotta smash something.
holy shit i cannot believe how extremely racist everyone in this thread is being without acknowledging that ahahahahaha oh my GOD
And then I was grateful that there aren't groups like this in the US. Seriously though, are there gypsies in the US?

UTSA hosts 'Women's Day to Speak' April 4
(March 31, 2005)--The UTSA Student Government Association sponsors "Women's Day to Speak" from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, April 4 on Sombrilla Plaza at the 1604 Campus.
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte and Councilwoman Patti Radle headline a panel of prominent community members that will discuss women's issues and their role in politics.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Jeffrey Hons, president of Planned Parenthood, Sarwat Husain, chair of the Council of American-Islam Relations, and Elaina Guajardo with National Organization of Women join Van de Putte and Radle on the panel.
Following the panel discussion there will be a screening of the film, "Iron Jawed Angels," which tells the story of the women's rights activists who spearheaded the women's suffrage movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The event is part of the group's Civic Awareness Week designed to encourage the campus community to vote.
The campaign to raise voter awareness began last fall when UTSA students registered voters on campus. The group offered a shuttle service to early voting sites for the presidential election and recently was named an early-voting site for the 2005 mayoral election.
With "Women's Day to Speak," the group hopes to motivate, educate and empower women to get involved in politics.


text: that they are the best team. Yes they won big again today and this time in Dallas. However, Dallas it should be noted built their 5 - 0 record against teams with a 6 - 22 record, so one really has to question how good they are. The Pats had no running game and Dallas showed that they can score on them. The test for the Pats will be when they play the Colts in the RCA Dome. Looking forward to it. I expect the Colts to beat them just as they did last year in the playoffs.


text: I dont beleive I have ever seen a disscusion about accuracy for the fal, altho Im sure its all been said. But what is the average accuracy for the fal? Ive never "anchored" mine to see what it will group, but I have no prob. making "headshots" at 500 yds. I have a decent but not very expensive scope. Im just wondering.


text: The only bad thing about using them for food is that critters can chew through a 5 gallon bucket like nothing, not so with ammo cans. Any thing from a mouse to a bear can get through them easy. 20mm cans would be my first choice and is for my storage needs. Lets see them chew through those!! But I do like those tops and 5 gallon buckets for some things.


text:
Hard to say there are very very few decent ones IMO. Prbly some of the older fans on here they are good to listen to. But other than that too many posters using this as social forum to make friends which is cool and all but not enough relivant football talk on these boards these days.

Spoiler Alert: Do not click below if you haven't seen "Get Out" yet! I wasn't completely mind-blown by this movie but I really enjoyed it and I'm excited to see what director Jordan Peele makes next (apparently his next "social thriller" is slated for 2019). I don't want to say too much but I thought the end of the film was unexpected and satisfying. Now an alternate version has leaked and it's interesting because it's also not what I thought was going to happen. Watch the full clip below.

Jim Ellison has a unique view of U.S. manufacturing. His lifetime of involvement in machine tool distribution gives him a rare perspective on the forces that have shaped U.S. manufacturing in the last 50 years. Combine that with his knowledge of manufacturing's role in the development of the country since its founding, and the result is a deep insight into how our current situation arose.
He recently penned an essay to promote an understanding of what is being hailed today as the renaissance of American manufacturing. An exceptional aspect of this analysis is his commentary about U.S. machine tool distributors, which played a key role in our transition to globally sourced manufacturing technology.

Yes, I greatly admire these men that truly took advantage of the free market system and created mass frickin wealth for themselves.
History 2 s all history
Fun series, though I do think they bought into Carengie's BS about Frick. Carnegie needed Frick to be the hardass, particularly in regards to the Homestead strike. Carnegie blamed Frick for everything when really, he was willfully out of the loop, even leaving the country during the strike to give Frick a free hand to do what he does.
Frick was the only one who had no illusions about what he really was. He is, by far, the most fascinating of all of the Captains of Industry. He built an empire on blood, but he never lied to himself about it. Carengie was full of crap, which is why he tried to buy his way into heaven.

KMFDM are seen by most who know of them as industrail provocateurs, having turned the sloganeering of so many punk and post-punk bands into a curious critique of the form while also utilizing its tenets to its own advantage. The brainchild of Sascha Koneitzko and an ever-evolving cast of co-conspirators, this Hamburg collective seem at their most subversive simply by existing, year after year, and decade after decade, to piss off those on all sides of the line who don't get their particular brand of provocation.
Last week I told you about a two-week adventure I'd just embarked on, traveling from Monterrey, Mexico's Festival NRMAL to McAllen, TX's Galax Z Fair and then SXSW in Austin. Festival NRMAL wrapped up on Sunday evening, and the whole experience was very surreal.
NRMAL's main event was an all-day outdoor festival with four stages on
Saturday, with over 50 bands from around the world, though they were mostly from Mexico and the United States.
The past couple of years have been kinda rough for New Hampshire music. Bands are leaving town, venues are closing, and college kids won't listen to anything that doesn't have a bass drop in it. But 2013 just might be the year things start looking up. Believe it or not, New Hampshire has a vibrant music scene, however decentralized and rural it may be, and bands are finally starting to poke their heads out and show themselves.
Around 15 years ago I started going to local rock shows in and around Boston. At that time, the rock bands I saw play at halls and clubs around Massachusetts were made up of almost all guys. And yet today, all of my favorite rock bands from in and around Boston have at least one female member, if not more. I love seeing women in rock bands.
Last week we got the participating bands in the 2013 ROCK AND ROLL RUMBLE, and last night we got the nightly lineups, randomly drawn out of RICHARD BOUCHARD'S hat live on the air during organizer ANNGELLE WOOD's local rock program, Boston Emissions on WZLX. It's official -- start your amps.
Of course, enough people by now have noted that among the very best elements of the Rumble are pairing up bands that would normally never share a bill together.
Noted by house music fans for being a Chicago club kid whom Danny Tenaglia, no less, encouraged to become a DJ, HONEY DIJON -- real name Honey Redmond -- has more than lived up to whatever it was in her that Tenaglia saw. It was not always so; her early work, though fierce enough, lacked breadth of vision and mastery of colors.

You know that phenomenon when you find out that a band you reeaally love is coming through town, but then you're struck with the immediate realization that you reeaally
didn't love their last album? (Not that you hated it by any means, but
it was just an odd-to-bad sideways-to-regressive step during an
otherwise unblemished career trajectory.
Anyone who understands the artistic process knows that guilt and shame are part of the game. In a way, expressing yourself through artistic means is all part of a circle of guilt and shame: you channel your inner guilt and shame, form it into a song, or a picture, or a blog post; you choke down guilt and shame in order to present your art to the world; and the rest of the world is simultaneously forced to confront the guilt and shame at the core of your work, and hit you back with guilt and shame that you dare do something artistic while they have to get up for work in the morning.

Below is an extended Q&A from our recent spotlight on ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, which plays the House of Blues tonight.
You might not know Josh Dibbs, aka Deakin, but you know Animal Collective, who are going to be dropping some neon tribal screeds tonight at the House of Blues (with guest Dan Deacon, no relation).
MAGIC MAN have been shrouded in mystery the past few years. First surfacing out of Providence in 2010 as a duo parked behind laptops, debut LP Real Life Color shared much DNA with the likes of MGMT and Passion Pit, especially the single, "Monster," which found a home on WFNX's Boston Accents. After relative silence since, they're now reborn as a full five-piece synthpop band in bubbly new electronic pop single "Paris," a warm, engaging track that suggests an identity all their own.
With one week until SXSW, and a snowstorm ready to hit New England, I had Austin on the brain this afternoon, so we dedicated today's BOSTON ACCENTS to a handful of bands headed to Texas this month. For each band's full SXSW lineup and itinerary, click on the links to their respective homepages and/or profiles.
What to do with techno is the question for DJs who employ the genre. To complicate it with effects, render it dramatic with a voice or two, or leave it be as a pile-driving stomp: these are the usual. At NAGA on Thursday night, Munich, Germany's tINI experimented with all three routes. As might be expected, some of her ways worked; and some did not.
Yesterday at 5am on the way to the airport, my friend (and occassional Phoenix contributor) Ali Carter and I kept laughing and wondering whether or not we are crazy people. A couple of hours later, we boarded a plane for Monterrey, Mexico where we'll be checking out Festival NRMAL for the next five days. The festival runs until Sunday, with
showcases of bands from all over Mexico, South America, the US, and
other places.

After learning about the impacts of plastic on the environment and human health, Beth Terry (author of the new book Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too) began an experiment to eliminate as much plastic as possible from her life. Five years later, she has reduced her plastic waste to less than 2% of the national average. During her talk, Terry will share solutions, stories, and the reasons why, despite what certain critics assert, our personal actions really do make a difference.

Re: st: "pooled" xtmepoisson with unconstrained error variance
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 17:35:25 -0600
Bobby Gutierrez showed how to model unequal variances with -xtmixed- in
www.stata.com/meeting/fnasug08/gutierrez.pdf. I don't have time to try
this, but at first glance it looks like his trick for doing this (pp
14-16) will work with -xtmelogit-.
On Nov 25, 2012, at 4:59 PM, Rebecca Pope wrote:
I need to estimate a Poisson model for two groups with unequal
variance where the data is comes from observations on patients over
time nested within clinics (i.e. level 1 is time (measurement
occasion), level 2 is the patient, and level 3 is the clinic). I am
using Stata 12.1. I think -xtmepoisson- is a natural choice for the
analysis, except that for the time being I'm stuck estimating separate
equations for each group.
In the interest of fixing terms, by "pooled" I mean that I've taken a
separate equation for each group and written them as one "master"
Bill Gould discusses something similar to my problem in the linear
regression context at:
aweights and -xtglm- are discussed, but neither is applicable in this
context so I'm turning to the Statalist for assistance.
Put as concisely as I can my questions are:
1. Is unequal variance between groups as much of a problem in Poisson
models as in linear regression? (Clearly I think "yes" or I wouldn't
be posting, but I'd like to verify with more expert folks than me).
2a. Can I control for this in a "pooled" multilevel Poisson model (in Stata)?
2b. How do I control for unequal variance in a pooled multilevel
Poisson model in Stata?
Here is an example that resembles my problem. Assume for the sake of
argument that a group*age interaction is somehow meaningful and
interesting in this context.
*** begin example ***
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r12/epilepsy
/* create artificial groups, 1 for odd ID number, 0 for even */
gen foo = ceil((subject/2)-int(subject/2))
/* demonstrate baseline differences in variances by group */
by subject, sort: gen first=_n==1
sdtest seizures if first, by(foo) /* significant at alpha=0.10, in
actual data, p < 0.001 */
/* -xtmepoisson- model from manual for each group (1) */
by foo, sort : xtmepoisson seizures treat lage lbas lbas_trt v4, || subject:
/* -xtmepoisson- with interactions for covariate of interest (2) */
xtmepoisson seizures treat lage##i.foo lbas lbas_trt v4, || subject:
/* -xtmepoisson- fully interacted (3) (will switch to Laplace here
by default) */
gen cons0=foo==0
xtmepoisson seizures cons0 i.foo##i.treat c.lage##i.foo c.lbas##i.foo
c.lbas_trt##i.foo c.v4##i.foo, nocons || subject: R.foo
*** end example ***
(3) seems to me to be clearly preferred to (2) because it recovers all
FEs from (1) though the estimates are not exact. I tried Laplace in
both and it didn't make a difference, which from the manual should
have been expected. Am I on the right track with this progression? How
do I accommodate the fact that the variance in number of seizures
differs by "foo"?
In case the following is relevant to anyone's recommendations:
- The example above only has 59 patients; I have several of thousand.
- I do not have an equal number of patients in each group; there is
about a 3:1 ratio of 0s to 1s for my comorbidity indicator.
- The data is observational. It comes from medical records review.
- There are about 30 coefficients to be estimated before any interactions/REs.
- There is no randomly assigned treatment, just a set of 3 covariates
