Cravaack, Nolan go beyond TV ads in 1st debate
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — After weeks of TV ads focused on Medicare, Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack and Democrat Rick Nolan got into it Tuesday over jobs, regulations and the unpopularity of Congress in their first debate in Minnesota's most watched House race.
The first-term incumbent and Nolan, a former congressman, faced each other before a Duluth audience that had been warned against outbursts, two years after a raucous forum pitting Cravaack against longtime Democratic Rep. Jim Oberstar. The candidates differed sharply on issues such as taxes and regulation, with Nolan calling Cravaack a "big spender" on defense who has neglected domestic priorities such as transportation, and Cravaack saying Nolan represents an "antiquated" style of big government.
Cravaack's re-election bid in the northeastern 8th District so far has drawn more than $4 million in spending by national parties and their allies. Democrats consider the seat a top prospect, while Republicans are defending their man in territory that had long been considered out of their reach.
Nolan accused the current Congress of laziness, saying members don't put in enough hours in Washington and take long recesses back home.
Cravaack hit back by noting that Nolan voted to raise his own pay four times when he served from 1975 to 1981. Cravaack also accused Nolan of missing 30 percent of his votes, a charge that Nolan disputed as "cherry picking."
Nolan said he skipped trivial votes when meeting with constituents but didn't miss the important ones, and claimed Congress worked harder than it does now. He said he needed the raises to stay in Congress and maintain homes in Minnesota and Washington.
"We cast a heck of a lot more votes than your Congress is casting," he said.
"Again, Congressman, you missed 30 percent of your votes," Cravaack said.
"No, I didn't. Stop saying that," Nolan said.
Cravaack accused the Democratic-led Senate of holding up legislation passed by the Republican-controlled House.
"The congressman is half right when he says we have a dysfunctional Congress. We have a functional House," Cravaack said.
When asked how they would help the middle class, Cravaack said an "overbearing" tax code and regulations are keeping small businesses from hiring. Nolan said Cravaack's support of tax breaks hasn't helped small businesses because the middle class is hurting.
"It's not tax breaks — it's demand for your products," he said. "We've got this thing upside down."
On mining, the candidates seemed more in concert. Both agreed on the importance of getting proposed precious metals mines started on the Iron Range.
"I see a future in the 8th District of Minnesota where people are moving here for jobs," said Cravaack, who said he has been pushing to get the Polymet project near Hoyt Lakes going.
Nolan agreed that the permitting process is "long overdue."
But Cravaack challenged Nolan's assertion that environmental regulations create jobs, such as employment for those who make smokestack scrubbers and catalytic converters.
Cravaack also brought up his amendment requiring American steel to be used in federal projects, part of a transportation bill President Obama signed into law in July. Nolan mentioned his endorsement from the United Steelworkers union.
The candidates had a more measured exchange about Medicare compared to the attack lines airing in campaign commercials.
Nolan said Cravaack voted to "end Medicare as we know it," calling the program an entitlement and a "sacred promise" and vowing to eliminate waste to keep it solvent.
Cravaack said the Republican plan would save Medicare from bankruptcy, and anyone over 55 wouldn't see any changes. Those under 55 would be able to pick between subsidies to buy private insurance or a version of the current program. He said doing nothing would be a "dereliction of duty."
As the debate wrapped up, Nolan reached out his hand to Cravaack. They shook.

Post-flight Report. :D
Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:42 pm
Listening to For Today - Seraphim
Well, here it is. The long-awaited report of my first time. (cue the crude jokes...)
It's D-Day. 8:30am and I'm up and ready to go. Can you tell I'm excited?
(Yeah! I'm putting pictures in this one! But hey, I never said they'd be flattering.) I woke up, got dressed, plugged the address into the GPS, and took off in that '04 Toyota Corolla. (Yeah, that detail's important for later on in the story, I promise.) After a brief stop at the local McDonalds, we were on our way!
We drove up 44, paid a toll, exited off of 44 six feet after the toll booth (stupidest buck fifty I've ever spent...) and then began the 'gravel/anti-Corolla roads' segment of the journey. Let me tell you, that was a nightmare. Foot-deep ruts and paint-chipping rocks for 30 minutes? Not cool. But finally, when we saw the blue and white Falcon 3 in the driveway of the property up ahead, we knew we had reached our destination.
We were early. Tom said be there by noon, and we left in time to get there by 10:45 so we could have time to miss exits and get lost and whatnot... I'll spare you the awkward details of chilling over there and waiting for the other pilots, but I will say that I don't know how the conversation got to feral cats and then to komodo dragons. Not even kidding. But there was a student pilot there named Boyd (with the Falcon) who introduced Andrew and I to the glider and let us kite with it in the wind.
It was a whole lot heavier and more uncomfortable to carry than I was expecting! It was plenty big for me, which I guess counted for something, but I still wasn't expecting it to be that hard to ground handle. My hands, sweaty with anticipation, had a hard time gripping the down tubes and my shoulders didn't like having metal tubes crushed into them, but it was AWESOME.
After a while, we packed up the tandem bird we were going to be flying in (lovingly dubbed The Beast) and drove out to the launch point. I got to assemble the entire left side!
I was terribly proud of that, too.
I got chosen to go first (probably because of the birthday thing, but I'd like to believe it's because everyone knew I was the ballsiest, most daring, scared-of-nothin' guy there. Don't you dare tell me otherwise, my fragile self-esteem can't handle it...) so I donned my harness and helmet and got strapped in. Who knew I looked so good in a helmet? I sure didn't.
See, I wasn't kidding! Anyways, the conditions were perfect: 105 degrees on the ground with steady, moderate winds. Joe (my tandem pilot) and I strapped in, called out "Cruise and accelerate" and the truck took off. The horn honked twice to signal for release and Joe pulled the cable. Aaaand... nothing. "Release fail, release fail, abort launch!" The driver then proceeded to slam on his brakes, perhaps forgetting the two poor saps suspended in the back of his truck. We shot forward, our hang strap parallel to the ground, our heads narrowly missing the metal bars securing the glider. Final verdict on helmets: fashionable AND functional.
However, surprisingly, it was at that moment that all the butterflies in my stomach went away. I was no longer even in the slightest bit afraid. See, being a Saville, something's always bound to go wrong. And now that I got the problem out of the way on the ground, I figured that I'd be set once we're in the air. Flawless logic, I know.
Reverse, stop, hook back up, and let's give this another shot...
Take 2! "Cruise and accelerate!" Gravel spat out from under the tires as we sped along that road towards my dream... (you should be imagining inspiring music, artistic camera angles, and slow motion photography at this point. Like that time in the battle scene in The Gladiator.) The horn honked twice.
We released.
We shot up into the air and I watched the Earth rush out from under me, quickly growing ever smaller as we tore through the sky. A hawk soaring BENEATH me looked up in envy, and I stared back and shouted, "Neener, neener" as I took my place above him in the pecking order. I was screaming and cheering as loud as I could, grinning from ear to ear, and clutching the handles on Joe's harness for dear life. "Hey, looks like we're going to catch a thermal," he says. "Climbing steady at about 450fpm..."
At the top of the line, we pulled the release cord and the feeling was unlike anything else I've ever experienced. I felt like I was hanging motionless, just pivoting around a central point without any forward or backward movement at all. Unless I looked down or to my sides, I would have believed him if he told me we were stationary. Joe told me to switch him positions so I could have control of the wing.
The vario was warbling as the wind began to buffet us. "Center, Mitch! Center!" Joe yelled into the wind. And to the ground crew: "We're getting some hellacious thermals up here, guys." The wind rocked us some more and I could feel us being yanked upwards faster than was probably healthy. The bar was all the way black above the center line on the vario showing we were climbing as fast as it could measure, and the pitch was still getting higher and faster. "Holy crap, we just capped off at 1,450fpm climbing. THAT was a thermal! Woohoo!" yelled Joe.
Then, the wind slowed down very suddenly and we started to fall. the right wing dipped and the nose pointed downwards, and even though we were both steering to correct it, we kept falling. I could feel the hang strap loosen behind me as we fell. "We just left the thermal, now the air outside it is sinking just as fast as it was moving up inside. Just wait it out." He said. At least, I think that's what he said... I was laughing and cheering too loudly to fully understand him. Finally, the glider leveled off and my face was stained with tears of giddiness. (I wasn't scared, I swear!
We flew around for about five minutes before he realized we were pushing 2,000 feet and still climbing. He told the ground crew "Jeez, guys, I'm going to have to seriously work to get this thing down. We're still climbing. We could ride this thermal all the way to Oklahoma City if we wanted to!" More airtime? That's okay with me!
We did corkscrew-type turns to bleed off altitude, and after about the 20th one (still had a LONG ways to go, too...) I started feeling a little nauseous.
Now, I'm not prone to carsickness or seasickness, but I have puked in cessnas a few times. I was a little bummed that I felt like this, but I was determined to stick it out; I wasn't going to make him rush! I was going to stay up as long as I could, darn it!
It was at about 500 feet that the dry heaves started.
Aaaand... I puked. It really wasn't much, but I DID upchuck a little. However, after this fluid ounce of liquid nausea left my body, I was good to go! Laughing and smiling again, I wanted to skip the landing part and stay up for hours. However, since there were other people waiting their turn, I had to go down.
We aimed for our landing point and pulled the bar in close. It looked textbook; a perfect approach. But then the ground started to shrink away from us again as Joe roared, "Aww, no, no, NO! Thermal, THERMAL!
" I laughed and released my leg strap for landing (in our NEW landing point a hundred yards from our original). The ground was coming at us a LOT faster than I thought it would be, and as we flared to touch down, it sucked my feet out from under me. Joe was yelling for me to stand up, and I think that as I was being dragged, God may have yanked me up and dropped me back on my feet, because I sure couldn't do it. But we did end up landing relatively softly, so I'm not complaining.
The flight was amazing, and I'm definitely hooked; I'll be doing that again, no matter what gets in my way. There's no way I'll forget about today and I thank my parents, Tom, and Joe for making it possible. I really and truly appreciate it.
After we landed, my dad and Andrew ran out to meet us and we loaded back into the truck and headed off to the launch point for Andrew's run.
Turns out, the thermals just quit right after we landed, and Andrew's flight only lasted about 10 minutes. Neener, neener, Andrew. ;)
Well, that's about it. That's the unabridged account of my first ever flight. I hope you enjoyed it, and I also hope you'll forgive me for my incessant rambling. I'm working on that. This'll probably be the last you hear from me for a while; I'll post the occasional "This is what's going on in my life" entry (I PROMISE they won't be as long as this... ;) ) but I won't have to opportunity to go back up for a while.
Thanks for reading, everyone!

We've all grown accustomed to the many fundraisers and charitable events that the pet industry produces for homeless pets. From pet food companies to pet supply manufacturers, the community does a great job of donating to rescues and shelters to help them carry on their work of finding homes for animals and meeting the needs of those animals in their care.
But the giving isn't just limited to pet-related businesses. Many non-pet businesses also recognize the importance of giving to those less fortunate, including homeless pets. In our own hometown, a company that specializes in overhead garage doors regularly sponsors special events for our local animal shelter, most recently sponsoring an annual bowl-a-thon for Texas Humane Heroes. According to Don Grenier, owner of Cedar Park Overhead Doors, "I am always looking for ways to give back to the community and, since my wife and I have two rescue dogs, giving back to the local animal rescue community is the perfect fit."
Often, the cars that are parked inside those garages regularly transport pets, so it's a natural fit that a growing number of car dealerships are also encouraging potential car buyers to add a four-legged friend to their family. In Florida, Subaru of Orange Park recently hosted an Adoptathon, covering all adoption fees and donating 100 pounds of food to local shelters for every car sold during the event.
In White Plains, New York, the Pepe Infiniti dealership saw its own role with the rescue community grow in the past year, starting with a photo contest on their Facebook page. An amusing photo of his son holding Leo, a Labradoodle, inspired Mark Hersh, Executive Manager of the dealership, who thought a photo contest would be fun. After the overwhelming success of the virtual event, he decided to hold a dog rescue event in the spacious dealership. "Six rescues from around Westchester County, New York brought five adoptable dogs each to what was called Pepe Infiniti's Fur-Ever Home Dog Adoption event," recalls Hersh. "Approximately 200 guests came to the event and 12 dogs found Fur-Ever homes."
The event received such acclaim throughout the community that Mark was asked by The Westchester, an upscale fashion mall, also in White Plains, to reproduce the event. This time, with 12 participating rescues, the event drew a crowd of over 2,500 devoted pet lovers.
If you are involved with a pet rescue or shelter, what types of businesses do you work with in fundraising efforts, especially as the holiday season and the time of giving draws near?

Naughty girls, built perfect comb in the frame 2/3rds down and then cross combed it.....Hive is level. I will be cleaning it up tomorrow maybe get some pictures.
Naughty girls, built perfect comb in the frame 2/3rds down and then cross combed it.....Hive is level. I will be cleaning it up tomorrow maybe get some pictures.
That is bizarre!
Solar flare ?
Since I know you already have MANY frames of nicely drawn foundation, it would likely help you a LOT to place each of your foundationless frames where it's "sandwiched" between drawn brood combs on foundation. That way the bees have little choice but to draw nice, straight combs as there is a "wall" of comb on either side. Once you have a few nice, straight foundationless combs, you can start using them as "guide combs" instead of needing any of the frames with foundation in them.
I like my scenario that there was a solar flare Hey
Could be a flare! Rob, it was all I had at the time to catch the swarm in....everyone else is building correctly.
Well, the other scenario I was thinking, is, they are Amish out of order. Cool show on some channel.
Hit 16 and went nuts....makes sence.
I didn't have anyone cross comb but I did have a couple hives that tried to build two combs in each frame, using the edges of the frame rather than the center strip as guides. I was a little dismayed at first until figured out that fixing them is no big deal and the very next day after I fixed them the combs where glued in perfectly and I could cut the bands.
My method is to put one rubber band on an empty frame, slide the cut out into that band from one side and then hold it and the frame with one hand while I slide another band on with my other hand. A little adjustment and its all done. If you lay the bad comb flat on the top of the other frames while you go get your rubber bands or whatever I find that most of the bees crawl off it and down into the hive on their own in a few minutes.
What a mess....got it all cleaned up, looked down in the bottom of the hive for bits of comb and what do you suppose I find??? My queen...dead! I am not done with foundationless but I will employ it under a much more controlled environment.
I've come to the same conclusion, one frame at a time.
A guy I mentored last yr had the exact same thing happen to him. As we experimented a little, take a peice of comb 1 inch tall and put it on the bottom and spray the frame with honeybee healthy and sugar water. That solved that problem 1 week later and they filled it in use the wax they crossed with the lenthed of the frame.
I have summer days with temps above 100 degrees F. Also, my hives are in full sun. Will foundationless frames hold honey in such conditions?
Why not. Feral bees build in trees , houses , sheds full sun no sun
I've never had comb failures until this year. Bees drew out full foundationless frames and then slammed them full of honey. That, coupled with 20 days of 100+ and hives in full sun, caused a few hives to have major comb failures. Nothing I couldn't fix but it was a huge pain. I'm honestly surprised it didn't set off a robbing frenzy when I fixed the problem.
Zone 5a @ 4700 ft. High Desert
Beekeeping Facebook Page
I've had a few comb failures with my hives in full sun in S. Texas this year...mainly in the hives whose lid insulation needs some attention, but only 2-3 combs per TBH hive & only the combs that'd never had brood in them. All in all, I don't see it being a problem, just a matter of keeping it cleaned up until the hive matures & the bees can reinforce the combs a bit.

Daily Labors
So I'm now so far into my labors that I'm barely getting any bonuses at all and even in a very good game I'm only earning 1.5k max exp and it literally took me 20-25 matches just to get from 37.5 to 38 yesterday. Not a big deal I like having a carrot on a stick it makes me enjoy playing solo more (if i play with teammates I'll play all day with no rewards) but I was wondering what others would think about new Daily Labors to give an xp boost things that would change or just reset everyday. Double XP helps alot but its just a gimme (ill takey though) daily labors would give a goal for the day whether it be getting 100 kills in a day or winning 5 games. Just kickin dirt what to you guys think?
Side note
When i was thinking about this I thought it might help get player to play CtF more often if we got a boost for it. I'm 8 out of 25 victorys with a 70% win ratio in ctf (i dont do it much) but i need the victories for the manticore chest peice but yesterday i sat in the lobby for literally 20 minutes and couldnt get into a game due to not enough players.
Competition? Why yes, I would love some.
Re: Daily Labors[ Edited ]
Daily labors would be a nice! But I could see there being a problem with people leveling too fast and possibly shooting down the value of the whole "Leveling experience" which keeps most players interested.
Also if you need someone to play CTF with hit me up, I got my chest but Ill help you with yours when Im on.

Music is, in one sense, merely a series of fleeting vibrations that arise and subside. How could it be that something so insubstantial fills us, and calms us, and makes us weep? Because, says W. A. Mathieu, music bridges mind and heart, self and other, and affirms our place in the world. Everyone uses the bridge of music, from casual listeners to devoted professionals. Mathieu's delightful and trenchant prose asks you to question what music is, how it works, and how to understand its value in your life, in the life of your community, and in the evolution of the cosmos.
News & Reviews
"[An] erudite and thought-provoking collection of essays. Mathieu more than accomplishes his goal of showing us many different ways of appreciating and listening to music." —Spirituality & Practice
"Like his previous two books, Bridge of Waves is written in an informal, chatty style that makes clear the dynamics of music and the transformative power it has on the individual as listener or as performer." —New Age Retailer
"Mathieu's lively and delightful essays lead you to question what music is, how it works, and what it's for." —Branches of Light

Do you guys think its a good option?

It is smooth, amazingly accurate, and has never misfired in over 500 rounds. We have fed it a lot of different .22 LR ammo, mostly cheap stuff. Everyone that has shot it loves it and wants one.

David Gergen on the summit: Republicans had their best day in years
posted at 8:01 pm on February 25, 2010 by Allahpundit
Via Hengler, a succinct statement of Jay Nordlinger's point and of what I suspect will be the media consensus tomorrow. Not the only kind words he had for the GOP either:
The folks in the White House just must be kicking themselves right now. They thought that coming out of Baltimore when the President went in and was mesmerizing and commanding in front of the House Republicans that he could do that again here today. That would revive health care and would change the public opinion about their health care bill and they can go on to victory. Just the opposite has happened.
I don't think they seriously expected it to revive health care but they did expect enough pwnag3 by The One to buy them some extra cover on using reconciliation. Didn't happen. (Not that that will stop them.) Obama's problem today was that he couldn't fly solo; he tried to, speaking for more minutes at the meeting than either the Democrats or Republicans did, but surrounding him with sad sacks like Reid and Harkin was bound to dilute the effect. Lotttt of water mixed in with the Hopenchange whiskey today.
My favorite reaction thus far comes from Marc Ambinder, echoing Kevin Kline talking about Vietnam at the end of "A Fish Called Wanda": It was a tie!
Update: Media consensus status check: Building!

I was wondering for all of you that can do a double jump, what has your coach told you to help you be able to do a double, I mean where does that second rotation come from? I've seen very low doubles and very high doubles, I will probably be able to do a low double in the future if I work hard enough! but I have no idea where to start. So my question is, how did YOU learn to do your double?

HONG KONG—Manufacturing activity across much of Asia weakened in June, suggesting that economic growth is likely to slow in coming months before a revival in the West can provide a boost later in the year.
Purchasing managers indexes released Monday showed either slowing growth or outright contraction for much of the region. An official gauge for China fell to 50.1 in June from 50.8 in May, remaining just barely above the dividing line between expansion and contraction. A competing index from HSBC showed Chinese...

Movie Review: Our Idiot Brother
Fresh out of jail for selling pot to an on-duty cop, an organic farmer bounces from the house of one dysfunctional sister to another.
Director: Jesse Peretz Rating: R Studio: Big Beach Films
It won't surprise anyone that Paul Rudd is a an endearing, inventive comic dervish in Our Idiot Brother, a warm, rambling tale of a sweet natured, trusting organic farmer and his loving, dysfunctional sisters played by Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel. It also won't surprise most anyone that the movie built around Rudd's dim-bulb, big-hearted character is fun, good natured and very well acted but just not up to his level.
Jesse Peretz (Inportant Things with Demetri Martin) directed the comedy based on a script he co-wrote with Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall about a guileless dude sprung from eight months of jail time for selling pot to an on-duty cop at a farmer's market. Broke and at loose ends, he gets dumped by his irredeemably mean hippie girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn) and gets passed from uptight sister to sister, each of whom is in crisis mode herself. There's bickering between sex-driven, aimless Deschanel and her focused, highly professional lover Rashida Jones, for instance, just as there is coldness between married mom Mortimer and her loathsome, self-involved documentarian husband, Steve Coogan. If plot-wise there isn't all that much new being cooked up here, the invaluable, endlessly creative Rudd's interactions with a gallery of terrific actors carry the day.

How is the timing set/djusted on the 99 7.4L 454's?
I'm pretty sure it is the same procedure as my '98 5.7. You hook up a medium to high end scanner (one that is capable of reading the cam retard parameter. this seems to be the hardest part of the procedure). Then adjust the distributor until cam retard is between -2 and +2 degrees.
anybody know if distributor cap on 1999 Chevy 7.4L is supposed to be able to rotate freely, have been having a hard time getting truck to start and noticed it was really loose?
Absoutely NO that will change the cam retard if the whole distributer rotates. See if the clamp down bolt is loose and have someone set the cam retard.

that ache you get in your head/body/mind/soul when classes are getting you down and you don't really feel smart or sexy. It can result in a loss of motor skills, excessive sleeping, not eating, and binge drinking. It is inadvisable to attempt to go on a date, sit in class for a long period of time, talk to someone you want to impress, or stray to far from a coffee pot when you are experiencing these symptoms. Apart from coffee the cures include a satisfying sexual experience, loud riotous music, or an injection of adrenaline. The latter is not recommended.

Not really, they are comparable at the minimum. 7x probowl is pretty damn good.Urlacher is a much better LB than Briggs (over the course of their careers) and is much more integral to the Bears defense.
They were all Weakside backers. Some teams flip the names, and a lot of teams their OLBs play both sides.Chad Greenway is a SAM and I'm not sure you can make the case that he's better than E.J. Henderson was for that team at this point. E.J. Henderson certainly meant more to the Vikings than Greenway did.
Cato June currently plays SAM as well (transitioned two years ago when he went to Tampa).
And having a good WILL (or better WILL than MIKE) is not an indication of priority, but rather how your personnel choices worked out.
Everything isnt equal. They are very different players. Brown is far more physical. And at weakside I dont care much if a guy is 6'1 or 6'3.I meant compared to Ogletree. All things being equal, who would you rather have at WILL ... the 6'3 guy or the 6'1 guy?
https://twitter.com/RVacchianoNYDN/s...52899025821696Not sure he could play SAM. As you've pointed out, he's not strong enough at the point of attack. And nowhere do I see him listed larger than 225 lb (was 220 when drafted, and 215 throughout most of his college career).
Never said he would be. I was comparing physical size. There are a LOT of really good linebackers in the NFL who in the 6'1 235 range. Bowman- 6'0 and 240. Willis 6'1 240. Even Ray Lewis is 6'1 240. And if we are going to have an argument about Brown gaining like 5 pounds, thats not exactly significant.And while I like Arthur Brown on tape, odds are that he's not the next Derrick Brooks.
I think Ogletree is a projection. He is not physical enough or good enough with his hands to be a middle linebacker right now. Is that a skill he will acquire quickly with coaching? Im not so sure it is. Im not sure its a skill he could ever acquire at all.Keep in mind that I like both Brown and Ogletree. I just think Ogletree translates better than Brown and fills a potential need more.
Brown is much more of a finished product. He still obviously has tons to learn, but he could step in week 1 and be an effective player.

What round is Brown being projected at now?
Ur right everything isn't equal, Ogletree makes more plays, is more athletic, is inovled in more plays and will be more of a diffrence maker, which is what u want from ur early rd players. Not to mention, Ogletrees potential is through the roof, and hes all ready really good.. If its even close, the fact that Ogletree has seamlessly moved to LB and has little expierence there and is all ready very good, with high potential, is the deal breaker..
U gotta be the only one slip who would debate Ogletree and Brown.. Ogletree is all ready a 1st rd talent as a jr, and would probably only have his stock grow if he went back to school, adn Brown is a 2nd rd, possibly early 3rd rd prospect as a SR...
Ogletree is a shoe in for the hall of fame, clearly, by your comments. He does everything incredibly well, shedding blocks and using his hands is totally unimportant, and by the time of the combine he will be better than Ray Lewis.
Dont be surprised if Ogletree doesnt go in the first. It wouldnt surprise me.

On Deadline blog: After secrecy of PRISM, why bother with 'privacy policy' notices?
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson, editor emeritus, on Jun 30, 2013
In the context of disclosures about federal scanning of everyone's Internet and phone usage, I chuckled at its irony and almost tossed it away. On careful reading, I found it was warning me that if I didn't want to be part of its CPN I needed to notify Verizon within 30 days, after which I would be receiving materials from Verizon and firms related in some way to Verizon.
I had just finished watching a news update and reading a Time magazine piece on Edward Snowden's disclosures of deep-secret information about how the National Security Agency is compiling information on virtually every individual and business in America.
This subject is of some personal interest, as I handled media coordination for the First Conference on Computers, Freedom & Privacy, known as CFP1, held in Burlingame in 1991. I also was involved with several subsequent conferences in between stints as a full-time journalist. The conference, chaired by Jim Warren, then of Woodside, brought together an astoundingly broad range of perspectives, from a privacy zealot from Australia, youthful hackers/crackers and law-enforcement officials to representatives of the FBI, Secret Service and even CIA.
The multi-day conference spawned multiple dialogues involving people who rarely if ever had contact with each other, outside of some adversarial brushes from an institutional distance. One then infamous cracker (an illegal hacker), John Draper (aka "Captain Crunch") at lunchtime beckoned Warren and me over to his hotel-restaurant table to introduce us to "my arresting officer, and prosecutor."
The Australian privacy advocate warned that the foundations of our freedoms were being "white-anted" -- a term that stopped me cold when I was transcribing his comments for what became a book on the topic. The book, still online, became one of the first textbooks for college courses on the new subject. After repeated emails, I learned that "white ants" was an Aussie term for termites.
Another prophetic image emerged from a subsequent CFP conference planning session, when I relayed to conference Chair Bruce Koball and others a comment from a friend: "I'm not interested in computers!"
"Well, she may not be interested in computers, but there are a lot of computers interested in her," Koball instantly replied. A variant, "You may not be interested in computers but there are a lot of computers interested in you," became the motto of that conference. I still have a T-shirt with a keyhole-and-eyeball logo over the motto.
After two decades, the shirt is badly faded and frayed.
But not as faded and frayed as Americans' privacy rights, I fear. One of the early organizers of the CFP conferences concluded when asked a few years back that the battle for any meaningful privacy has been lost, forever lost, stamped out like many ill-equipped resistance movements of years, even centuries, past.
In the face of highly focused, well-funded interest groups -- the marketing industry, law-enforcement, national security in the vanguard of an army of lobbyists -- we've been truly white-anted in the privacy front.
The intensity of focus never materialized on the pro-privacy side on a scale to mobilize the termite inspectors and exterminators. The "opt-out" policy in Verizon's mailer won the debate over opt-in/opt-out that was a hot topic in the early 1990s. In virtually every aspect of our lives, our data tracks are being monitored and utilized in unimaginably complex ways.
But the PRISM program is so vast, so secret, so pervasive of everyone who uses telephones or the Internet that it is staggering. Under the mantel of tracking terrorists and saving lives, anything is permissible, it seems -- even to abridging the historical constitutional right to associate and assemble. As the Arab Spring has shown, online is today's assembly hall, or living rooms of early Christians with fish marks on their doors.
We may have more to learn about Snowden's motives or intent in taking the federal contract position. I am not in any way defending him or his actions.
But it is increasingly clear that the international manhunt is rapidly supplanting news coverage of the extremes of PRISM itself. Snowden is now painted as the one damaging U.S. relations around the world -- not the secret spy program itself under which innocent millions are being scanned with questionable supervision and unknown guidelines.
For the national media, which tends toward "pack journalism" anyway, it is far simpler to cover an exciting manhunt and bad-guy story than to probe the details buried in piles of documents.
But there's still the bottom line reality: There are a lot of computers interested in all of us -- and vastly more of them today.

Obama says how his FISA court, which I see as a secret star chamber court, a cog in the police state, and which simply rubber stamps all request for private information, (the sacrosanct opening of the envelope, having read sender and recipient addresses front and back) is OK because it is all to keep us safe from terrorist attack.
He thinks that foolish facebookers are not disadvantaged because afterall they have traded away their personal property, their personal data, pictures, inane comments etc. in return for a free photo sharing and a dream of being a celebrity, or whatever it is that drives people to social network. And the government, can make sure that the collective benefits from this trading of personal property, to keep us all safe.
However privacy is not just personal property but an inalienable right. Its existence is not only good for the individual but also good for society as whole, as is the right to clean water, clean air, a basic education etc. And government should not let us to trade in these things because in doing so we undermine the baseline Rawlsian notion of fairness which is the very foundation of our society.
Perhaps the next generation will take out a class action suit against us for ruining their futures and robbing them of their right to their own press releases, by encouraging them to go on Facebook. They can be reimbursed for their loss of privacy.
Perhaps Obama will realize that the collective benefits from data mining for terrorists are outweighed by the very existence of large datasets being just too risky, quantified in financial terms, becausse it could be hacked by the Chinese who could use it to undermine our national security, and afterall that risk could be quantified.
But Privacy not personal property and it should not be traded away because if it is it undermines the very conception of justice and equality on which our society depends.
Neither private or public organizations should be allowed to mine private data.
If this were made law facebook and google would be smaller, there would be room for many small fee for service email providers to emerge. And the government would not have a one stop shop, and the powerful internet monopolies in cohoots.
No organization should be allowed to amass large amounts of private data.

If data mining is outlawed, only outlaws will mine data.
"...they have traded away their personal property, their personal data, pictures, inane comments etc. in return for a free photo sharing and..."
That is exactly the bargain. If you choose to bare your soul in public, don't be surprised if somebody actually looks at it, so they can realize their own piece of the Silicon Valley dream: making loads of money selling you something, or/and selling you to somebody who wants to sell you something.

1) I didn't know much about FISA Court before now. What about you?
2) I don't think any of us know much about the FISA Court, even with the current level of "revelations".
3) Joe Bidden said in 2006: "You can't trust a spying President". Wonder why he thinks it's OK now?
Joe Biden (2006):
Web Link
"And we're going to trust the President to do the right thing .. don't count me in on that!"
4) Obama could have shut down this massive surveillance of American citizens--particularly since he ran on a platform of being opposed to everything that Bush did.
5) As a Senator, he might evern have known about this surveillance, given the alleged "oversight" of the Senate.
6) I don't fully understand why the FISA Court has agreed to collect so much information on ordinary Americans, and why Obama thinks he needs to keep it for at least five years (and who knows how long if the NSA decides to ignore the law).
7) I also don't believe that Obama has a clue about the depth, and breadth, of the current surveillance of the American people. I doubt the FISA Court does either.

Bush started PRISM, admitted it this week in an interview. Yeah, Bush did an interview. The GOP forced him to do it outside the country (Zambia, I think.) But that's standard for the GOP and their Bush problem.
I can't answer for Willard, but for me?
- yes, I've know about FISA since just after 9/11 and the Bush/Cheney Total Information Awareness program under Poindexter. Truly evil. We probably agree on a lot of the basics about civil liberties and domestic spying, though...
2. low information types, yeah, sure. Those that read a lot and anyone who is inclined towards privacy? They know.
3. Ask Joe.
4. Show me the platform planks: recover from the Bush Great Recession? almost, needs more jobs, but the GOP won't do it. Out of Iraq? yes. Leaving Afghanistan? Yes. Gitmo? No. Anything else?
5. Possibly. He was concentrating on loose nukes. Wasn't on Intelligence. Ask DiFi. (she dfrives me nuts, can't wait for her to retire!)
6. FISA is a rubber stamp. Has been since at least 9/11, don't know much before that. Obama and five years? PRISM started under Bush.
7. Disagree, but since neither of us can definitively answer, rock on baby...
G'day, mate!

> Total Information Awareness (TIA)
The poster proclaimed this concept to be "evil" ..
TIA never came into existence, at least that was what the public was led to believe. What exactly did TIA propose to do?
Web Link
This would be achieved by creating enormous computer databases to gather and store the personal information of everyone in the United States, including personal e-mails, social networks, credit card records, phone calls, medical records, and numerous other sources, without any requirement for a search warrant.[1] This information would then be analyzed to look for suspicious activities, connections between individuals, and "threats".[2] Additionally, the program included funding for biometric surveillance technologies that could identify and track individuals using surveillance cameras, and other methods.[2]
Following public criticism that the development and deployment of this technology could potentially lead to a mass surveillance system, the IAO was defunded by Congress in 2003. However, several IAO projects continued to be funded, and merely run under different names.[3][4][5][6]
Although not too much is openly known about "Prism"—it's hard to see that it is really that much different than TIA.

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Did you see Bush and Obama this morning, laying a wreath at the site of an embassy attack in 98? Been dozens of attacks since, at least a dozen under Bush, but let's investigate the one on Obama's watch!
Oh, the hypocrisy.
TIA was led by a convicted criminal - John Poindexter: 5 convictions for lies and obstructions of justice to cover up Iran Contra and selling arms to Iran. Lawyers later got him off on a technicality.
There, boys and girls, are the lovely chaps that created the massive spy networks, the same ones that traded weapons to Iran and helped the drug runners in Iran Contra.
"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."
I lied and I got caught!!! But I give purty speeches don't I, cuz' I was trained as an actor and ran the actor union!
Wayne - you claimed to be a vet in other threads, that must drive you nuts when higher ups abuse the UCMJ, and get away with it. A guy like Ollie wearing the uniform and taking the 5th, then telling lies. Deserved his conviction too.

Aussie has a point (several, obviously.) The one that resonates with me is - once you start paying attention to privacy issues, you find out a LOT of what's going on. One also finds strange bedfellows: libertarians with liberals, constitutional conservatives with near-anarchists, etc..
I find his/her question of Wayne's comment important: Wayne, you highlighted Aussie's "evil" quote and and then copied the stunning TIA summary. Do you not find it "evil" (or some similar synonym) also?
Anyway, once your interest is piqued on privacy, prepare to be stunned. Suggested starting point: the Electronic Frontier Foundation Web Link

Hardly! While it is true that there is supposed to be an optical "splitter" in a room in an AT&T facility in San Francisco (Folsom Street), the "whole Internet" does not run through this set of fiber cables.
You've dismissive posts suggest that you think you are the only one around that has been following these issues.
PBS/NOVA/Spy Factory:
There is a short segment about the AT&T "splitter" about 20 minutes into the program.
Project Echelon, which has been monitoring telephone traffic, has been around for some time now:
Web Link
Most of this has been in the news, at one time or another. Do YOU know that?
And for the record—the "whole Internet" does not exist just in the US—it is worldwide. The US can not tap the whole thing, no matter how much it thinks it should.

> TIA was led by a convicted criminal - John Poindexter
And your point is?
I doubt that Poindexter conceived of TIA himself. This kind of surveillance was the work of hundreds of others--the Pentagon, DARPA and Defense Contractors. The fact that Pointdexter was involved is meaningless. If he hadn't been, someone else would have been.
Why not just stick to issues, and forget the personal attacks. The underlying problems are far greater than anything you have pointed out--at least where Poindexter is concerned.
So far, all you have done is ASSERTED that TIA is "evil". I am not supporting it--how ever it's hard to see how it is all that much different than anything Obama Administration is doing with PRISM.
I would like for them to stop collected data on Americans not believed to be involved in "suspicious" activities, and delete the information that they currently have.
That's my position.

Martins position is that PRISM is from Obama? Sad news Bucko, it started w Bush; but keep conflating that it is Obama solely, you've done that at least twice above w/o acknowledge Bush.
my two cents - It is far closer to evil than saintly, imo, no matter what Martin says.
Martin - Aussie implied as a veteran you were offended at Oliver Norths lawbreaking and hiding behind the uniform. Now you say you're not a veteran?
"TIA was led by a convicted criminal - John Poindexter" factually correct, again, imo. How is that a personal attack? Forget he broke laws and gave weapons to the Ayatollah, only a few years aftere the hostages were released when Reagan was inaugurated (no connection there!)

Here is a bit of a far out example of where this country is heading.
All of this data on all of our people, with all of the threats we have will induce our newly global aristocratic elite to push the envelope to find new ways of keeping down challenges to their authority and profits.
Here is a deliberately funny example, the NSA goes back and analyzes, or says they analyzed Osama Bin Ladens "data". The find that Osama liked porn, so people who can be determined to like porn suddenly become a statistical threat. Say, he liked gummy bears too - same thing, all of a sudden, based on statistical inference that will never see the light of day anyway - people who like gummy bears get a mark against them. You can go on and on picking at the so-called bad people and then creating associations that pop up citizens that have nothing to do with the bad people, but it keeps the system moving, it hypes the security budget, it terrorized the citizenry, and even if it is random it seems to work because it instills an order or terror so that even more can be done.
This level of science and technology happens at a level that is invisible, and opaque to citizens. We never get to see it, we never get to complain about it or criticize it, we never get to discuss publicly and express our democratic will about it ... and this level of control is called totalitarian.

Osama was a pal of Qadaffi, who had a photo book of Condi Rice Web Link , so cross reference that with anyone who has come in contact with any student who took her class, etc.. all obvious terrorist threats!
So: remember that lovely stanford student who tutored your kid in PA? She took Condi's class -she's why the NSA is collecting your cell calls and online porn site visits!
Thanks, CPAnon, it's so clear now!
Lastly, PRISM was a Bush program, as described above. Any poster who tries to conflate PRISM to Obama only is a liar and should not be trusted for any other information provided. Web Link

Few presidents ever give power "back". That's the reason power grabs should be fought, as with TIA and PRISM; TIA was sunk publicly, PRISM was hidden. To identify PRISM with Obama only, however, is clearly disingenuous, as it was put in place by Bush.

It's clear that no coherent, transparent, responsible action that is intended for the American people or to respond to the American people has been coming out of Washington for long over a decade, some probably think longer than that.
The cover for that is the corporatized, privatized video screen that is projecting a fiction of what the American people to the world and to the American people ourselves.
Lot's of arguing goes on, but there is no real process for determining what the people want in an intelligent way - the case for American militancy is not made - it is just assumed, like the mantle of absolute power to search and react.
What is being protected and institutionalized even fetishized is the separation and protection of a certain type of "ruling class" - those parts of the economy and society that from inside itself are necessary to run an absolute war on everything if needed to protect and expand themselves - all done martially, by military means, and covered with a media owned by just another sector of itself. If we could summon Charles Darwin himself to take a look at this he himself could explain what is going to evolve from this, what is being emphasized and what is being atrophied.
There is no conceivable way that any serious scholar, particularly any from outside this "ruling class" could even reconcile the Constitution with what is going on. While it may be necessary to re-think the whole way the government exists, that is not a conversation that there is even a plan for a plan to happen - effectively leaving the transformation of the government in the hands of private unmonitored and unanswerable to the people paid political operatives.

Who keeps tabs on the keepers of the data?
Not much of anyone, apparently. Take this a step further and you have Obama using warrantless (FISA-less) wiretaps on Romney's campaign, or Bush on Kerry... from WaPo: Web Link
The New York Police Department says one of its detectives was recently caught using the NCIC database to secretly obtain personal information about two other NYPD officers. Police officials have suggested that the man, who also hacked into several individuals' e-mail accounts, was trying to figure out "who his ex-girlfriend, also a police officer, was chatting with."
Another police officer, Gilbert Valle, was convicted in March for using the NCIC database to "help compile dossiers on women that listed their birthdates, addresses, heights and weights," apparently as part of a "bizarre plot to kidnap, cook and cannibalize women." Fortunately, the authorities stepped in before the women he had profiled were harmed.
The AP reports that "authorities have accused a Memphis police officer of using the NCIC database to leak information to a confidential informant about a watch dealer who the informant believed had stolen a Rolex; a reserve patrolman in Clarkston, Ga., of running names and license plates for marijuana dealers; a Montgomery County, Md., officer of running checks on cars belonging to a woman who later reported that the vehicles had been vandalized; and a Hartford, Conn., police sergeant of supplying database records to a woman who used them to harass her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend."
Or how about the NSA and other government geeks getting their jollies spying on our service members? from 2008:
" ...says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.
"Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy'," Faulk told ABC News."

Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has requested funds to sign a new striker on loan after losing Ross McCormack to injury in Saturday's defeat to Cardiff City.
Warnock wants Leeds to stretch their budget and sanction another signing in response to an appearance in Cardiff which brought customary disappointment and more pressure to bear on United's squad.
The Welsh capital is no sanctuary for Leeds, who last won there in 1984, and second-half goals from Cardiff substitute Craig Bellamy and chief architect Peter Whittingham extended the trend of the past three decades.
Warnock felt aggrieved by United's second defeat of the Championship season but spoke with greater concern about the twisted ankle suffered by McCormack and the muscle problem which forced the half-time substitution of left-back Adam Drury.
Drury is a doubt for tomorrow's game against Hull City but might conceivably recover in time to play. McCormack's injury is a more serious matter, too swollen to allow full prognosis over the weekend but unlikely to heal before the international break begins on October 7. The Scotland international will undergo scans this week.
Though a shortage of transfer money has been evident at Elland Road for many weeks, Warnock used the emergency loan market to sign Stoke City's Michael Tonge last Thursday, a deal made necessary by injuries to David Norris and Paul Green.
The United boss is now looking for Leeds to make additional cash available in the absence of McCormack, a player he described ruefully as "our only Bellamy." Leeds were linked last week with a move for Stoke forward Cameron Jerome.
Asked how much scope he had to replace McCormack, Warnock said: "That I don't know but I'll be asking the question, obviously.
"We could do with another loan player now because of the injuries we've got and the number of games coming up. We know we're a thin squad and I knew that if we got two or three injuries – which we have – it would put a lot of pressure on us.
"Ross has twisted his ankle quite severely. I don't think there's any break but we can't see for all the swelling at the moment. I'd imagine he'd be out for a few weeks at least."
Warnock warned some time ago that the size of his small squad might bring Leeds to this point, and Drury's leg problem took to four the number of senior players affected by varying degrees of injury since the Championship season began on August 18.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Hi RCP and others with doubts on this: I would advice you to check out Gordon Ramsay's video on youtube for bolognaise. It couldnt be more simple. And no theres no water involved.
A portuguese Chef who I quite admire keeps saying that water just ruins the flavour of food. Solution? Stock!
Of course this isnt valid for all recipes but I see his point and in many cases he's right!
Good luck!

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
i make a few different versions ...the ragu that my Mum taught me to cook is made with beef & veal (plus your usual soffrito), red wine, sun dried tomato puree and beef stock...i don't add any tomatoes to this version but i sometimes do when i'm using the sauce for a baked dish...i don't add milk although i know it's popular in certain regions
Ashen hit the nail on the head when he once said "it's a meat sauce with tomatoes and not a tomato sauce with meat" (or something like that )......the trick to getting a rich, velvety sauce is to add the stock bit by bit (like risotto) and not all at once

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
I can't ever imagine mixing water into tinned toms and just expecting it to thicken?
I've never been to Bologna so I've never experienced real Bolognese sauce but i'm pretty sure it doesn't have much water either...my mate Les who was often in these regions swore that you could barely detect the meat in a good Bolognese, as AA says "the trick to getting a rich, velvety sauce is to add the stock bit by bit (like risotto) and not all at once". Another tip I got was to use fine ground, not just minced beef.
I love the sauce with Jamie's meatballs, more to the point, my boys love it. Simple passatta, onions, garlic, basil and balsamic vinegar...and truthfully the balsamic is the kick..I'll have to try this in a Bolognese format...finished with some Parmesan to thicken the sauce, maybe.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
That'll teach me for reading this forum before cooking anything from that book.
Yup, watery and tasteless - ugh.
This comes after cooking the chilli con carne which was also watery (less so) and just tasted and smelt of cinnamon.
How difficult can it be for the man (or someone else at the company) to try each recipe as it is written and then taste it?
This book is meant for people who have little experience of cooking, I'm going to try some more recipes but am utterly disappointed.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Hey everyone I�m new here!
I tired the bolognese as well, and like a lot of you followed the recipe and ended up having WAY too much liquid towards the end.
But after the 60 mins of simmering, i simply ladled the excess liquid from the top, and continued to simmer for another 10-15 mins to reduced a little further, and it worked out fine!
And tasted nice with some spaghetti and parmesan cheese on the top
Having said that, this was the first recipe i tried from the ministry of food, so I�ll be a little bit more wary about following all the instructions to a tee.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Hello everyone i am new too, but i come from Bologna, so i suppose i can give an help eheeheh
The vegetable release a lot of water, usually i don't add too much water at the beginning, just necessary to let the vegetable and the meat "swim" inside the pot.
In Bologna every family has its own way to make "Ragu'", in my family we use 200g minced beaf and 200g minced pork (the fat part of the pork make it more tasty).
If i can give a personal advice, after you add the meat and it became gray, you can add good red wine (tipical Bologna red wine is Sangiovese). This because Jamie used bacon
in my family we use fresh sausage that are made also with red wine too.

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
Hi there,
I had the exact same problem as you and after a few minutes on the internet I discovered that this recipe is slightly different in other Jamie sites. I think it is a misprint or else it has been adapted since.
Anyway, the other version calls for only one 14 oz can of water and also indicates to put the lid on but leave it open a crack. The Ministry of Food version just says put on lid and simmer an hour and also calls for two cans of water.
I salvaged my sauce by adding tomato paste, though I agree it was a real disappointment. I would agree with the others on this forum that you could skip the water all together and maybe add a third 14oz can of tomatos or just paste. Also, next time I will brown the meat. I think there was a lot of moisture in the meat that messed with the sauce.
Good luck!

Re: Page 165 Bolognese Sauce
welcome to the forum dishydish
I did nnot know there were other jamie sites.
I think that the recipe sounds like it uses an awful lot of water, I would use far less .
But I have to honest here and say that I never add water to the ragu,s that I make as I usually use red wine instead .. or if there is no wine to use for cooking I use a little stock .

From Vallarta Weddings… Tessa and Tim, from Salt Lake City, Utah, went for a vibrant and colorful wedding in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico, because they wanted their guests to experience the "Real Mexico!" They could have not chosen a better location than the beautiful Casa de los Delfines! The villa is a beautiful property above the quaint town of Sayulita with an awesome ocean view and the most beautiful, vibrant Mexican colors throughout the house. The ceremony took place in the beautiful manicured garden of Casa de los Delfines. A simple but beautiful floral altar with colorful tropical flowers (yellow and orange lilies, purple irises and other tropical flowers) and the palm trees and ocean were the perfect background for the ceremony! Scented sandalwood fans with an intricate carved design and a delicate white tassel attached awaited on each guest's chair! They were the perfect wedding favor choice for those warm days in Mexico. The beautiful and meaningful ceremony, officiated by a dear friend of bride and groom, got some of us very emotional. A mariachi band played a romantic song for the bridal processional and a festive song for the couple's recessional.
Then the mariachi lead the guests to the cocktail area by to the pool, just in time for them to enjoy the amazing sunset and cocktails. Waiters received guests with trays of margaritas on the rocks! Mexican lanterns hang above the cocktail tables provided a beautiful dimmed light, and the bar area was adorned with paper picado banners! Also during cocktail hour, the bride and groom and guests had photos taken with a cute Mexican donkey who was dressed for the occasion with paper flowers and more papel picado. An engagement photo of the happy couple with a blank cardboard frame was the photo "guest book."
After the cocktail hour, guests proceeded to the reception dinner area, where an amazing selection of delicious Mexican dishes awaited them in the buffet area. Hand-made escort cards with a green palm design were placed at the entrance to the reception to direct guests to their tables. The entire property was decorated with colorful papel picado and illuminated with colorful Mexican paper lanterns called "farolitos." In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, bride and groom opted for colorful cupcakes with the cutest Day of the Dead bride and groom topper! After dinner, the traditional toasts were given with a traditional Mexican drink (tequila, of course!) Then the amazing rock band played a marvelous version of the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole for the bride and groom's first dance. Then all the guests got in the dance floor and danced the night away!

Lynn's Biography
Hero she's never met: Marian Wright Edelman
Childhood dream: To become a ballerina
Family Business: Povich's father, Shirley Povich, was a renowned sportswriter for the Washington Post.
Cause of Choice: International Women's Media Foundation
Lynn Povich is an award-winning journalist and women's rights pioneer. In 1970, she helped organize a landmark sex discrimination suit against Newsweek, and in 1975, became the first female senior editor in the magazine's history.
After graduating from Vassar in 1965, Povich began her career as a secretary in the Paris Bureau of Newsweek. She rose to become a reporter and writer in the New York office, at a time when almost all of the writers and editors were men and all of the fact checkers, researchers, and secretaries were women. In 1970, she joined with 45 other women to sue the magazine for sex discrimination, announcing the suit the very day Newsweek published a cover story on the women's movement, "Women in Revolt." The lawsuit and the publicity it created were a major first step toward gender equality in the media business. The magazine promised to hire and promote more women and within five years Povich became the first female senior editor in the history of the magazine. In 2012, she published "The Good Girls Revolt," which chronicles the landmark Newsweek suit and how much has--and hasn't changed since.
Povich stepped down from her senior editor position in 1980 in order to work part time while raising her children. She left Newsweek in 1991, to become Editor-in-Chief of Working Woman, which she turned into the only national business magazine for women. Most recently she was managing editor/senior executive producer of East Coast programming at MSNBC.com. She is a recipient of the Matrix Award for Magazines and serves on the Advisory Boards of the International Women's Media Foundation and the Women's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch.

As I stated in the other thread, the intent of this build is to keep it simple, retain as much of the stock bike as possible, while updating the drivetrain. All the while, giving it a 'beachy' feel. The color scheme will be aqua blue with cream/white accents (probably gonna throw in a mermaid or two and/or an image of the Tybee lighthouse). I purchased the bike from forum member 'bicycles123' from his CL ad for the frame. In addition to the frame he threw in the fork (slightly bent unfortunately), the crank, chainring, kickstand, both fenders (more on them later), the stem/handlebars, the headbadge, front hub, New Departure Model D rear, a basket, seatpost and seat! Basically, a whole bike except for wheels and a chain! :mrgreen: So, here's the parts or intended parts list so far: frame: 1950 Monark fork: 24" NOS Ashtabula crank: refurbed original chainring: refurbed 44 tooth original chainguard: 1950s Monark 'Speedster' rear rack: refurbed original wheels: 24" Worksman tires: 24 x 2.125 front hub: ? rear hub: Nexus 7-seas (I mean 7-speed) coaster saddle: possibly an Electra 'Gigi' w/matching grips lights: TBD, but you know me..... :roll: fenders: deep crescent set of Shelby's (the original rear is fine, but I needed a front and found this set) pedals: cream Felt cruiser pedals So, let's get into it! Haven't done anything to the frame yet, I still need to trace/measure/record the original paint details Did some work on the crank (cute little dogleg type) and the chainring before: after a week long vinegar bath and a visit to the wire wheel and steel wool/WD40 (sprayed the back with etching primer and some gunmetal 'textured' paint cleaned up the kickstand a bit before: after getting same treatment as the crank/chainring That's it now, sprayed some chemical stripper to the chainguard and rack, but it didn't take well, gonna go do it again now.

I have a hive that I want to re-queen. I want to move the old queen and some frames into an observation hive just for fun. I have a package and a new queen for the hive but the weather has been rainy for three days. When I had a clear afternoon I went to remove the old queen but I couldn't find her. (yes, my fault she's not marked.) I swear I looked for an hour and a half yesterday and I couldn't find her. I didn't see any eggs, either, but there were some very young larva and I had opened the hive a day or two earlier so maybe I disturbed her laying. It was getting late so I put an excluder between the deep bodies and called it a night.
So, how long can the bees sit in the package? If I can't find the old queen next try what should I do? (Besides mark my new queen.)
Philadelphia, PA
