A loss is a loss but a player can play well in that loss. Why is that so hard to understand?
A loss is a loss but a player can play well in that loss. Why is that so hard to understand?
Missing wide open receivers and fumbling the ball is not playing well lol.
Mood: WOOF!
I'm not talking about the "Rodgers,, Brady, etc is a better Qb than Eli" ongoing argument. That's a somewhat subjective argument that depends upon whether the debate is centered on the current year, the respective careers in total, statistics, number of wins vs losses, number of championships played (and won), and so forth. In that context, Brady comes out on top no matter which way you slice it, then the other rankings factor in everything plus personal bias--no way around that, it appears--on either side of the debate.
The dividing line I refer to is your last sentence. You say "playing well consistently, win or lose, is everything". I think Lombardi would take issue with that, and I would agree with him. He even went further, in order to make his point about the driving attitude of his that made him such an iconic sports figure.
You know it--"winning isn't everything, it's the only thing".
That underscores the importance of collective effort and achievement over one's individual importance. Consistently good individual performances are important, even crucial most of the time. But that is not "everything".
I'm sure all Packers fans agree with those here who insist that Rodgers is not only the best QB in the NFL today, but that he's the greatest thing on Earth since the invention of the automobile. But you really believe they take solace in the fact he played well in either or both playoff games the past 2 years at the expense of losing both games and the opportunity to repeat as SB champs either year? The fact he played well in either or both games was "everything" to them?
I don't.

That's silly to me. So as long as you look good losing it's okay? Since this thread was originally about Herm, I'm going to quote him; "You play to win the game", not "It's okay if you lose, as long as you throw pretty passes".
Mood: WOOF!

RG3's dad was in a military something I have in common with him. I know what he has gone through in his childhood, which is most likely similar to mine by moving constantly. Im always a Giants fan first, but I definitely respect this guy and wouldn't mind rooting for him.
bob griffin is a class act he is dangerous and damn good but if he was all of that the redskins would have a better record. in the words of bill p "lets not put him in canton yet" its sucks that we have to play him twice a year but it is what it is. i think our d will come and play fast and physical. the thing that sucks is c web will need ALOT of saftey help this game cuz garcon will blow right past him. get it done
2015 season tbd
I really hate the fact that I really like that guy!!
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
I was a big fan of Bob's coming out of college, just wish the Rams had taken him, or someone else been more generous with their trade up offer. He's going to give us fits for years to come. Anti-Romo.
What's interesting about Griff is that he just keeps getting better each game, and it's noticeable. He's his own worst critic, and rarely does he make the same mistake twice. He took a lot of jarring hits early. He's now taking far fewer hits, because he knows that it will come back to bite him. It's fun watching him mature week over week.

Greetings all from KJ4AVV, a local AUXCOM radio guardian for the Coast Guard Aux.
I live on an island in NE Florida and am looking to build a few hives for my yard. Having lots of oaks, Magnolias, Palmettos and fruits and nut trees I think I should have pleanty of pollen and flowers for production.
If anyone has some good plans for starter hives, I would appreciate looking through them! I used to have some hives in San Francisco on Sutro Heights and the neighbors loved what it did for the local fauna.

Lingo has been a fixture within the Rhody music community, from his longtime role as keyboardist with Fungus Amungus (which snagged back-to-back Best Jam Band honors in our Music Poll a few years back and will play the Met Cafe on September 25) to scooping up accolades with his original crew the Lingo, which won WBRU's Rock Hunt in 2004. And Johnny took Best Male Vocalist honors in our '09 BMP.
There's no denying Lingo's knack for pounding out surefire hooks and melodies (see "1 in 10" and "Step Outside" from Shake It Off), and he sounds even more comfortable since trimming the band down to him and Leonard.
"Our bass player moved to New York City after we recorded the first album, so Chase and I pursued the idea of just a piano and drum duo," Lingo recalled. "I've always written strong bass lines with my left hand and figured, why not give it a try?
"Plus, not having a bass player actually makes things easier for me. I can play whatever I want."
The streamlined approach has paid dividends for Lingo and Leonard creatively.
"Chase and I have a great connection of being able to improvise songs at practice and shows," Lingo said. "The title track was written this way. I still have the practice recorded where we wrote that song, and it's kind of magical to listen to it now.
"I always think, 'Holy shit, we wrote that song completely stream of conscious.'"
Somewhere To Go was Lingo's first time recording at Machines With Magnets, which also provided a nice spark. "They have a kickass Yamaha grand piano that I fell in love with it while touring the studio," Lingo recalled. "And, when I learned that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah [who Lingo knew from his Connecticut College days] recorded their [2006 self-titled] debut album at Machines With Magnets, it was a no-brainer."
"Show Me a Sign" and the title track (remember the Gershwin-influenced piano on those United Airlines TV ads a few years ago?) are quality pop nuggets, and the seven-minute "Family Man" (not the Hall & Oates song, though Lingo could probably knock out a great cover) offers plenty of spirited moments to let loose on the ivory.
"I find chords that seem to resonate, then start singing a melody. A few lyrics come out and I'll race to grab a pen or a recorder. When I'm feeling the inspiration I need to keep writing until the song is complete.
"I know if I tried to go back later that magic spark will be gone."

Pulaski Tech kicks off its weeklong Banned Books Week celebration on Monday with two lectures by Roger Newman, an author and noted authority on civil liberties and censorship.
Newman will speak on "Civil Liberties, Surveillance and Terrorism" at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday in the R.J. Wills Lecture Hall, located on the second floor of the Campus Center.
Newman lectures frequently on the subject of civil liberties at colleges and universities across the country. According to Newman, the events of Sept. 11, 2001, have cast American citizens' civil liberties in a new light and given rise to increased surveillance of private communication.
"We can never preserve our freedom by eliminating it," Newman insists. "We have come to value privacy, for example, as much as the right to speak our minds."
Newman teaches at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, has been editor-in-chief of a four-volume encyclopedia on the Constitution and is currently editing the Yale Biographical Dictionary of American Law, as well as working on a book on President Clinton's Supreme Court appointments.
His biography of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, Hugo Black: A Biography, won the Scribes Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1995.
Newman's visit is sponsored by Pulaski Tech's Ottenheimer Library Committee and the Division of Fine Arts and Humanities.
The purpose of Banned Books Week is to celebrate the freedom to read banned or challenged books, to raise awareness about material that has been banned or challenged in a variety of settings, and to discuss issues relating to intellectual freedom.
Pulaski Tech's celebration of Banned Books Week runs Oct. 1-5 with readings from banned and challenged materials performed by faculty and staff and with a panel discussion entitled "Shock of the New: Visual Art and the College Experience".
Schedule of Readings:
Tuesday, Oct. 2, Campus Center Plaza (main campus)
Pulaski Technical College

The "act of being ugly" is totally different than just being ugly. Just being ugly is like you walk down the street and see someone had a wart on their nose or a bald spot or something creepy like that. Commiting "the act of being ugly" is to choose on your very own to be ugly. That is an awful act. Such an awful act like that deserves severe punishment.
"Omg, Elaine is dressed like a freekin goth again. Steel toed boots? Fish nets? Chains? What an act of being ugly! The ugly police would drag her out into the road and shoot her."
"Ugly people suck. I hate them. Each and every one."

I have a hive that was a 3lb. package hived on 4-12. Everything has been going good. Last week I put a hive body on with plastc foundation in it as they had drawn out 6 full frames and were working on more. Today I opened the hive and found they haven't come up into the new hive body. What I did find were what appeared to be queen cells in the center of 2 frames.
What should I do? Should I swap some of the plastic foundation frames into the lower box? Should I destroy the queen cells? I don't have another deep body or deep wax foundation, but I do have a shallow super with wax foundation should I put that on?

Habits are unconscious patterns of behavior that are acquired with frequent repetition. This presentation will look at what habits exist among innovative educators. The audience will learn how to blend ideas across disciplines, seek important feedback in the innovation process, and find out how to fail fast and forward when disrupting the status quo. In addition, Courtney will share ways the division as a collaborative unit can engage the passionately curious and work to align all innovations with the mission of serving students. Audience members will gain new perspectives on innovation, as well as practical approaches to innovation they can start utilizing immediately in their work.
Courtney O'Connell is a rising leader on the topic of innovation in education. Her TEDx talk "Go All In on Education" provoked a national conversation on innovating the education system. After working the last five years for Rutgers University in the Student Life department, she recently was hired to work alongside best-selling author Erik Qualman as Director of Business Design.

Anderson with special guests Travis Kingma and Call Me Anadarko will perform on Saturday, March 7, at 8:30 p.m. at Lemonjello's as part of the Hope College Concert Series.
Tickets are $3 for the general public, while Hope College students will get in free with ID. Tickets will only be available at the door.
Anderson is the creative brainchild of Bas van Nienes and Jeroen van der Werken, coming all the way from Amsterdam, Netherlands. After releasing its debut album, "We Radio Anderson," Anderson toured heavily around Europe and the United States. Returning to Netherlands, Anderson settled down to record its second album, "It Runs In The Family," which was released in the fall of 2008. The new album is themed around a family called the Bensons, with each song being named after one of the family members. Anderson's music has been compared to the electronic sounds of The Postal Service and The Notwist.
Travis Kingma, a Hope senior from Mattawan, will be playing as well. He has performed often at Lemonjello's as well as previously for the Hope College Concert Series.
Call Me Anadarko, the brother-sister duo of Adam and Erica Nelson, will be opening the show. Adam is a sophomore at Hope, while Erica resides in the siblings' hometown of Chicago, Ill.
Lemonjello's is located at 61 E. Ninth St., on Ninth Street at College Avenue, and can be called at (616) 928-0699. More information may be obtained online at www.hope.edu/concerts or www.lemonjellos.com.

Binghamton University faculty receive awards from IBM
August 25, 2011Tweet
Two Binghamton University professors are among 92 international and national recipients of 2011 IBM Faculty Awards.
Scott Craver, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Nagen Nagarur, chair and associate professor of systems science and industrial engineering, were honored at a ceremony Aug. 22, in the Anderson Center President's Reception Room that also highlighted the longtime partnership between IBM and the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The IBM Faculty Awards is a competitive worldwide program intended to foster collaboration between researchers at leading universities and those in IBM research, development and services organizations, and to promote curriculum innovation to stimulate growth in disciplines and geographies that are strategic to IBM.
"Most importantly, you have to be an outstanding contributor and recognized in your field of study," said Kerin Flannery, IBM Endicott senior location
Binghamton University was the only New York state school to have multiple award recipients. Three other New York universities had professors honored.
Craver's cash award will go toward enhancing his course on security engineering. In 2009, Craver was chosen as one of 100 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). It is the highest honor bestowed by the federal government during the early years of a scientist's or engineer's career.
"I'm honored to receive this award," Craver said. "It will go a long way to helping us develop and expand our security-engineering curriculum."
Nagarur's cash award will be used to help broaden a systems-engineering course to younger students.
"This is indeed a great honor," he said. "We've been working with IBM for a number of years through internship programs and other things. This award lays down a nice foundation for our course in systems engineering, as we are trying to put more emphasis on the systems engineering part of the systems science and industrial engineering program."
IBM and University officials celebrated collaborations such as the Linux Technology Center and the Integrated Electronics Engineering Center, along with the students who have served as research associates and worked for University Delivery Services for the 100-year-old company.

Reprinted from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.
Bahya Ibn Pakudah was a Spanish philosopher of the 11th century. Bahya's Duties of the Heart is a treatise of morals and religion, translated into Yiddish, sure evidence of the work's popularity among ordinary devout Jews, although the opening section on the unity of God is strictly philosophical and written for thinkers.
In this section Bahya stresses that the nature of God cannot be apprehended by the human mind. The biblical anthropomorphic expressions do not mean that God can be described in human terms. Indeed, God cannot be described at all. The biblical descriptions are necessary, however, for the psychological reason that if humans are to worship God they must have some picture of God in the mind, always with the proviso that "the Torah speaks in the language of men" (a Talmudic expression which Bahya has adapted for his purpose); that is, the language used in the Torah does not and cannot convey the Reality but provides humans with a vocabulary of worship.
For Bahya, when Judaism teaches the unity of God this should not be understood only to mean that God is one not many, but to indicate particularly that God is unique, totally different from His creatures and completely beyond the imagination.
In his introduction, Bahya states his aim of calling attention to the inwardness that Judaism demands of its adherents. Religious Jews are fully aware of the external rites, ceremonies, and other external obligations and perform these, the duties of the limbs, diligently. It is with regard to the duties of the heart that they often fall short. These duties include the love and fear of God, prayer with proper intentions, love of the neighbor, and pure, sincere and disinterested worship of God with all the heart.
These, far from being incidental, belong to the very essence of Judaism. Bahya was influenced by Sufi teachings even in the title he gave to his work. He is not averse to quoting favorably non-Jewish pietists, as when he tells with approval the tale of the non-Jewish saint (hasid) who slept outdoors where he was in danger from wild beasts and robbers because his fear of God was too profound to allow him to entertain any fear of God's creatures.
The Duties of the Heart is ascetic in tone, although it rejects extreme forms of asceticism in which a man shuns the society of others. Bahya's ideal is for man "to mix freely with others but be alone with his Maker in his Mind." Man must engage in battle at all times with his great foe, the evil inclination within his heart that seeks to prevent him following the way of the Torah. The maxims in the book are often quoted in the literature of Jewish piety. One of these is that prayer without inwardness is like a body without a soul.
Pronunced: TORE-uh, Origin: Hebrew, the Five Books of Moses.

If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your family doctor or dentist.
If your doctor or dentist suspects you may have a salivary gland tumor, you may be referred to a surgeon who specializes in operations involving the head and neck (maxillofacial surgeon). Other specialists involved in treating salivary gland cancer may include doctors who treat cancer (oncologists) and doctors who specialize in head and neck problems (otorhinolaryngologists).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and know what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For salivary gland cancer, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:

using script for sql injection test...
I'm trying to write a script that will use the web form that is hooked into a mysql database to check if a user exists in the DB and if they have an e-mail. So I was thinking this would be possible to do through something like PHP but I've never done it before so I'm foggy on how it might be done.
I was thinking something like:
if response = 'user exists' exit;
if not use another name...
Obviously that isn't what has to be there but I don't know how to automate this so that the usernames can be put in a form and then submitted one after the other to check their validity.
Anyone done something like before?

Conjugated Estrogens-Bazedoxifene Combination Reduces Postmenopausal Bone Loss »
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The combination of conjugated estrogens with bazedoxifene (CE/BZA) significantly improves bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover, according to pooled results from the SMART-1 and SMART-5 trials.
Read the Conjugated Estrogens-Bazedoxifene Combination Reduces Postmenopausal Bone Loss article »
(estradiol) Transdermal System
Continuous delivery for twice-weekly application
Close clinical surveillance of all women taking estrogens is important. Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. There is no evidence that the use of "natural" estrogens results in a different endometrial risk profile than synthetic estrogens at equivalent estrogen doses. (See WARNINGS, Malignant neoplasms, Endometrial cancer.)
Estrogens and progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia. (See WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders and Dementia.)
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and deep vein thrombosis in postmenopausal women (50-79 years of age) during 5 years of treatment with oral conjugated equine estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies).
The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of WHI, reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older during 4 years of treatment with oral conjugated equine estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate relative to placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies).
Other doses of oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins were not studied in the WHI clinical trials and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar. Because of these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.
Estraderm, estradiol transdermal system, is designed to release estradiol through a rate-limiting membrane continuously upon application to intact skin.
Two systems are available to provide nominal in vivo delivery of 0.05 or 0.1 mg of estradiol per day via skin of average permeability (interindividual variation in skin permeability is approximately 20%). Each corresponding system having an active surface area of 10 or 20 cm² contains 4 or 8 mg of estradiol USP and 0.3 or 0.6 mL of alcohol USP, respectively. The composition of the systems per unit area is identical.
Estradiol USP is a white, crystalline powder, chemically described as estra-1,3,5 (10)-triene-3,17β-diol.
The structural formula is
The Estraderm (estradiol transdermal) system comprises four layers. Proceeding from the visible surface toward the surface attached to the skin, these layers are (1) a transparent polyester/ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer film, (2) a drug reservoir of estradiol USP and alcohol USP gelled with hydroxypropyl cellulose NF, (3) an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer membrane, and (4) an adhesive formulation of light mineral oil NF and polyisobutylene. A protective liner (5) of siliconized polyester film is attached to the adhesive surface and must be removed before the system can be used.
The active component of the system is estradiol. The remaining components of the system are pharmacologically inactive. Alcohol is also released from the system during use.
What are the possible side effects of estradiol transdermal?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
- sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
- sudden severe headache, sudden vision changes, problems with speech or balance;
- sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up...

text: Here is a recent post from one of our local bee groups in N.M. I was wondering how accurate some of these statements might be. "I just returned from a Thanksgiving trip to the Texas Hill Country. While I was there I stopped at the Fain's honey processing plant outside of Llano. I asked what kind of bees they had and I was told they are all "African." I learned that it is impossible to have other kinds in that part of Texas, since they dominate the breeding process. Trying to re-queen with other kinds is a useless process. It has taken the fun out of beekeeping there, but they do produce more honey and produce very strong hives. Talking with the 3rd generation beekeeper, it was nostalgic for him when he remembered working the gentle bees with his grandfather. He said now that when you get out of your truck at the hives you are immediately attacked. I guess you drive there with your gear on. "

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Capt. Kris Robert is having a hard time finding limits of speckled trout right now, but the redfish action is so good, he admits he hasn't been trying very hard.
Robert and his fishing buddy, Chas Champagne, have been running to the marsh just off of Chef Pass, where the juvenile reds seem to be holding their annual club meeting.
"There are lots of reds in here -- I mean, lots," Robert said Friday afternoon between casts. "A lot of them are rat reds -- 14- to 16-inch fish -- but you have pods of 20- to 24-inch fish that move through."
The key, Robert said, is to find drains in the marsh. He approaches them from the Intracoastal Waterway, and casts his way in. Many times the fish are concentrated at the trenasse mouths, but sometimes, they're farther back on the flats.
"The flats that are deep enough, you just poke in and cast around," Robert said. "If there are no fish there, you just move on to the next one.
"Sooner or later, you'll hit the mother lode."
Robert said anglers who try the technique shouldn't spend very long at any cut.
"You'll know immediately whether or not the fish are there," he said.
Robert and Champagne have been throwing ultraviolet-colored Matrix Shads on 1/4-ounce jigheads, and they're using their rod tips to hop the baits back on the retrieve.
Robert said some other anglers in the area have had success tipping their jigheads with fresh shrimp, but he doesn't feel it's necessary.
The action is best on a high tide that's falling, Robert said. Friday's southwest wind lowered water levels in the area and gave the water a little more turbidity than it's had lately.
Still, Robert said it's nothing to catch limits.
"If a guy comes out here and fishes hard, he'll have his fish in an hour or two," Robert said.
Elsewhere in the area, Robert said fellow guide Kenny Kreeger is catching drum and sheepshead at the southern end of the Train Trestles.
In addition, Robert said speckled trout diehards are finding fish at the Wall near Bayou Bienvenue, but the action is inconsistent.
"You'll catch 40 one day, and go back the next day and maybe catch 15," he said.

With the opening of "Prometheus" this past weekend, the operative word for a lot of people was "Disappointed". It may have been the case where hopes and expectations were unreasonably high, but they were what they were, and "Prometheus" didn't deliver.
Now, "Prometheus" wasn't even close to my MOST disappointing experience ("Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones"), but it was disappointing enough to get me thinking that it might make for a good discussion topic.
Everyone has been let down by a movie at some point. They had some kind of hopes that didn't get delivered on. The movie that they were thinking they would be getting going in was much better than the one they eventually saw. Whether it's was a substandard sequel, or a crappy remake, or an original movie that had great marketing but poor execution, at one time or another, we've all left the theatre feeling let down.
So what movie let YOU down the most? You went in, excited to see it, thinking you were going to get something great and then… aw c'mon, really? LOL. Lets hear it! Which movie disappointed YOU the most?

I often hear people talk about "robbing." I understand that robbing is bees from another colony robbing your colony. Forgive my ignorance, but how do you know when this is taking place? Are there just a mass of bees outside the hive?
I often hear people talk about "robbing." I understand that robbing is bees from another colony robbing your colony. Forgive my ignorance, but how do you know when this is taking place? Are there just a mass of bees outside the hive?
When robbing starts they will be bees fighting at the entrance but some times they can be over run and no fighting can be seen you can go look when it is almost dark a hive being robbed will have alot of still comeing and going when a normal have will not
A video is worth a thousand words. The first sign is way more activity in the entrance than would be normal. If the camera was back a bit further you would be able to spot the robbers as bees both hovering and nervously darting near the hive looking for a direct path in. You will also see some that arent robbers that are carrying pollen sacs that are calmly landing and walking around looking for an entry. The nervous bees just above the screen on the box are robbers as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sud_VzPgJwA
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
When you see bees flying around the top and sides of the hive looking for a way in you can be almost 100% sure they are robbers and the hive is either dead or in trouble
If they are wearing masks and carrying weapons they are robbers.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Thanks all! i will go watch the videon now
I remember reading once...Dust the bees that are entering and leaving the hive you think is being robbed, with flour. You can then follow the white bees back to their hive. If they're flying home to other hives, they're robbers.
Good robbing video SallyD. Notice the activity and fighting going on.
From E. B. Wedmore:
" Now a flying bee with empty honey sac flies with legs extended behind, whereas a loaded bee bends the hind legs to bring them forward."
Trying to think inside the box...
Before it starts they buzz around quickly and nervously. When bees start robbing it is similar to black Friday when the stores open up for the day. It can be pretty hard to stop it once it starts! Best advice I have is not to leave frames of honey out while going through hives and close the lids. If it does start, smoke 'em good and stuff some grass in the entrances of the hives that are being robbed. If it gets too bad it's time to go home.
Rob Renneker
"One issue is being sure they are being robbed. Sometimes people mistake an afternoon orientation flight with robbing. Every warm, sunny afternoon during brood rearing you'll see young bees orienting. They will hover and fly around the hive. This is easily mistaken for robbers who also hover around a hive. But with practice you'll learn what young bees look like doing this. Young bees are fuzzy. Young bees are calm compared to robbers. Look at the entrance. Robbers are in a frenzy. Local bees might have a traffic jam at the entrance but they will still be orderly. Wrestling at the entrance is pretty much a give away, but lack of fighting at the entrance does not prove they are not being robbed, it just proves they have overcome the guard bees. One SURE way to tell if they are being robbed is to wait for dark and close the entrance. Any bees in the morning who show up trying to get in are probably robbers. Especially if there are a lot of them."

Celebration events in Auckland for Anniversary Day were a hop, skip and a jump away from one another this year as tens of thousands packed the waterfront.
Wynyard Quarter was the centre of much of the celebrations with people eating their way around the Auckland Seafood festival at Halsey St Wharf, music lovers partying at Silo Park for the Laneway festival and others taking in the International Buskers Festival at the Viaduct.
On the Waitemata Harbour for the annual regatta, the Coastguard reported fewer boats on the water than in previous years. There were 20 calls for assistance - most of them related to mechanical problems, Coastguard spokeswoman Georgie Smith said.
Regatta chairman Eric Mahoney said the 15 knot easterlies made for perfect sailing conditions for an event that he cheekily suggested had a better pedigree than the America's Cup. The annual event - which went back to September 1840 before a change of dates - was 11 years older than the more famous yachting event.
Highlights for him included the yacht Jessie Logan, which dates to 1878, and M class yachts, 18ft kauri yachts which are 90 years old.
Sloops, racing keelers, multihulls, sailing dinghies, waka ama, restored classic yachts, an armada of more than 20 vintage tugboats and America's Cup prototypes all took part.
"It was history on parade out there today," he said.
Heart of the City Association chief executive Alex Swney said although figures for crowds over the weekend weren't available yesterday, he expected final counts to be in the tens of thousands, since the Seafood Festival alone last year attracted 25,000.
Clustering events around the waterfront had created a party atmosphere. "It has been going off. Someone said to me it's like the Rugby World Cup. Collectively, they've created a wonderful vibe," he said.
"You'd have to say that in combination with the weather this year - why would you leave town?"
In the Waikato, the Parachute Music Festival was a sellout with 17,500 celebrating at Mystery Creek.

Faculty Who Care
David Baker
Dean, Student Affairs
What would you say is the most rewarding thing about teaching students at Central Penn?
Teaching is a craft! Watching the students internalize and practice what has been taught when they are not in the classroom, is very satisfying.
What makes Central Penn different from other colleges?
Other schools talk about small class sizes and personalized care, Central Penn delivers.
What do students like the most about the courses you teach?
I think the personal and relevant aspect I bring to my courses.

Well on the way to work a while back I saw what I thought was a joke. It had All-Trac badges on his Previa, to my dismay, that's an actual model, lol. The all-trac previa is an AWD mid- front engine longitudinal 2.4L s/c mini van. If only they kept the 5speed as an option, but they made the all-tracs use a 4spd auto. The s/c motor put out 201 tq and 160 something hp. Considering it was made in the mid 90's that's not bad. Get a bigger pully hehe see how many PSI the motor can take Sorry for the tiny pics I was taking them while I was on the free way, lol.
That's some interesting info, I never new they existed. I guess it makes sense though, as Mazda's MPV had AWD as an option at the time, no to mention Chrysler, which still has it as an option.
yea, astro/safaries too. I wish the auto companies would make a more sporty van. maybe a 3800lb 7 seater with 275 tq and AWD, possible a smaller s/c V6.Anothing intersting thing about the Previas since they were longitudinal and mid-front placed they put the engine to lay on its side for a better center of gravity.
That sure is unique. So what do you think of the new MB R-class wagons? Like a Chrysler Pacifica, taken to the next level. I agree, it would be nice to see a supped up minivan. It seems it would make more sense than a hotted up SUV, since the minivans are lower to the ground, and on car chassis anyway. I think the MB R-Class is ugly, but I also think the configuration is promising.
I think it's ok... The Mazda 5 looks nicer to me, just wish it was a bit faster... maybe if they had something similiar to toyota's camry 4 cycl motor, it could use the extra 20 tq.
Maybe they could make a MazdaSpeed5 using the MS6's 2.3L direct injection turbo engine. How's 274HP sound?
lol, that would work, just make sure it's still the 5 speed.
The camry and celica were also "all trac" awd as well for a while, but they never marketed it very much. Since many of their future models are going AWD, I guess that's a good thing for them.
"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself" Ferdinand Porsche
I knew about the celica and corolla All-trac models, but didn't know that there was an All-trac Camry. Yea, it's nice that there is an available AWD matrix/vibe for america. Since Honda does have an AWD or 4WD, not sure which, civic available in Japan not sure if it's available anywhere else, but yea.
man those things were so ugly.
Forum Mod at www.automobilediscussion.com
i think at their time there were ok. Not like in 92 there are awsome looking van.
what brand is previa?
It was a Toyota minivan in the 90's

Cairo attacks continue; reporter dies from earlier shooting
New York, January 26, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the violence against journalists covering demonstrations in Egypt. Plainclothes and uniformed security personnel have beaten at least 10 journalists between Tuesday and today and detained others. Egyptian authorities have also shut down the websites of two popular independent newspapers and a number of social media sites.
By Lauren Wolfe/CPJ Senior Editor
As anti-government demonstrations continue in Cairo, Jack Shenker, a reporter for the U.K. Guardian, has captured some remarkable audio. Shenker, dragged around, punched and abused, was taken into a security truck with protesters on Tuesday night--then he turned on his recorder. He describes how "police have been incredibly violent" and how in the hot, tightly packed truck, several people fainted. Click here to hear his story.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Dear Diane,
Overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay very much in your apartment. My only complaint is that I could not reach anyone by telephone when I had a question. Only an answering machine in French which I tried to respond to but was not successful.
Also, it would have been helpful to have instructions in English for how to use th washing machine. Otherwise it was very nice. Very nice renovation and very clean, most importantly. Thank you, Gaylyn Greiner
Location is very good. Located in Paris and quiet. Subways nearby. Service very good. Resolve problems as quickly. Cozy apartment like a hotel room.
Lage sehr gut. Mitten in Paris und trotzdem ruhig. U-Bahnen in der Nähe.
Betreuung sehr gut. Probleme werden rasch behoben. Wohnung gemütlicher wie ein Hotelzimmer.
This is a great little apartment in the centre of Paris. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. It is very quiet. Close to the metro and within reasonable walking distance from Notre Dame. There are perhaps prettier areas of Paris, but for the price, it is good value for money.
found the apartment in excellent condition, not missing anything. Pleased all our expectations.
encontramos el apartamento en excelentes condiciones, no faltaba de nada. Complació todas nuestras expectativas.
Great apartment. Very clean and excellent location. Close to metro, easy walking to many sights. Staff was responsive and quick to attend to our needs. Would stay here again! Only thing to consider in the heat of the summer is that with windows open it would be noisy from the street.
Cozy apartment in a perfect location. Checkin was smooth, the bathroom is big and beautiful, the kitchen and living area are very nice. I'd use this place again for sure.
Great appartment and smooth organisation. Good place to stay in the heart of Paris!
We were a group of 6 adults and a 4 yr old and stayed in the apartment for 5 nights.
Plus points- great location, the apartment was on the 4th floor and there was no disturbance from the road below, unless u left all the windows open. Even then not too bad.the apartment was newly refurbished and all the fittings were good.
There is one bedroom with a double bed which is a good size. The second double bed is in the mezzanine level with no doors. The mezzanine level has a ensure but with no toilet.
The sofa bed was of vey good quality and had a proper mattress.towels and fresh sheets were provided. There was internet available.there was good communication from them. An agent named Christian was there to welcome us and went through the fittings with us. My fault was to rush him through it and not get all the details.
Minus points- not a lot really. The lift to the apartment is from the first Floor and can only fit 2 people at a time or one with luggage. Not a real problem. The main problem was that there was only one toilet,As we were the first people to stay there after refurbishment there were a few niggling issues which I am sure they will sort out
The apartment was quite nice and well located. and everything worked well. Having an elevator was helpful for getting luggage upstairs. It's better for a family than for two couples, in my opinion. There are two Metro lines within easy walking distance, and there are many good restaurants nearby.
I was staying 7 nights in this appartment. It´s located very central but on a quiet street. Thomas was there to welcome us. A fresh young man who was very helpful and talkative. The appartment is nice and clean and we had a wonderful time there. The kitchen is missing a little oven maybe instead of the microwave. The toilet seat is loose. Otherwise perfect for a week. I wouldn´t hesitate going back to the same appartment.

The Illuminating Force of Love in Everyday LifeWhat do passion and desire have to do with spirituality?

Mindful Eating
A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with FoodThere have been many fad diets over the years, but few have put us in touch with the real root of our cravings. There's nothing bad about being hungry. We all need to eat. But often, through the many distractions of life, we develop unconscious habits that alienate us from the basic enjoyment of food—and leave us feeling empty, no matter how much we eat.

Embracing the Shadow
Discovering the Hidden Riches in Our RelationshipsOur "shadow" side comes to the surface in relationships more than anywhere else. The good news is that when we recognize and understand that we can work with our tendency to project our shadow onto those with whom we're in relationship, we can release ourselves from the habit to hurt or control one another, and we can tame our retaliatory impulses.

text: I'd like to hear from northern beekeepers on the pros and cons of wintering with screened bottom boards. I've mostly heard good things about leaving the screens open all winter to help with ventilation. My hives are on 18" stands without bottoms, so the winter wind will really whip in there. Do most people who leave the screens open have the SBB's on top of a traditional solid bottom board or on the ground or some other solid base? I could leave the debris tray in place which would help to some degree. Here in Syracuse, NY we get long, cold winters. Comments?

Why aren't we #1?
Original post made by what gives???, Stanford, on Feb 23, 2013
Web Link
Considering the stories we hear on this forum about gridlock and bumper to bumper traffic in the city. I would have thought that Palo Alto would have been in the top five. Plus all the stories of cars blowing through red lights, not stopping at stop signs and nailing families in crosswalks, we should be right up there.
This is outrageous. Our city council should produce a colleagues memo urging CNN to re-do the survey.
Perhaps they can appoint a special blue ribbon panel headed by Yoriko Kishimoto to meet with CNN to address this greivous wrong, especially considering how the citizens of Palo Alto are suffering from traffic day and night, 24/7.

I agree. There are cars in Palo Alto 24 hours a day!! Cars on El Camino NEVER stop for any of the stop lights. % families were nailed on California Avenue last week because cars ignored the stop signs and a few bicyclists were mowed down also.
What aren't we #1-- we are #1 for everything else

What gives: you obviously haven't moved around and lived in other cities in the U.S. or Europe. By comparison to many other cities our traffic is fairly light.
Your description of traffic in Palo Alto is thoroughly exaggerated. I walked around some 3 miles of south PA this morning on streets almost empty of traffic. We should count ourselves lucky that it is not as you describe even during the rush hour. Be thankful you don't live in Brooklyn or LA; CNN's analysis is correct.
What I would like to see in PA is that we have the same parking restrictions as Menlo Park which requires that you park your vehicle off the street at night. It has the effect of far fewer cars left on the streets 24/7.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Feb 24, 2013 at 1:36 pm
As bad as PA traffic is, and it IS bad, there are more than ten places worse in the area surveyed. It is still one of the worst places for traffic on the peninsula, the Bay Area, and California. However, it is NOT one of the ten worst in the nation.
a resident of Community Center
on Feb 24, 2013 at 4:16 pm
THere are no traffic problems in palo alto to speak of. Many of the complaints that you hear are from people that think having even one car in palo alto is bad. We deify a womandenigrated drivers while claiming that EVERYONE should be biking all the time regardless of the circumstances . We allow a biking lobby to control policy regarding traffic, knowing that cars are vital to the city. We think the solution is to get rid of car lanes and then the cars will magically disappear. We want people tto use public tranortation,but have an unusable system that takes you more tha hour to get somewhere that would take you 10 minutes by car. We talk about walk able neighborhoods, but oppose the development of local shopping centers, allowing them to be converted to housing, and shoot down retail with claims about noise, traffic etc. we waste money on art projects and fancy bike bridges and do not deal with our crumbling roads.
Traffic is not aroblem in palo alto despite the tune sung by some former council members and others over and over again.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Feb 24, 2013 at 4:51 pm
I think the traffic problem in Palo Alto is a different problem than in other areas due to the fact that we have surface street problems rather than highway/freeway problems. Yes, 101 can be a headache particularly the on/off ramps, but the problems that Palo Altans have are on the local, neighborhood streets.
I recently had an early commitment which involved Oregon Expressway w/b in the morning commute time. I was held up at each light for more than one light change. Traffic entering Oregon from side streets meant that only 2 or 3 vehicles in each lane were able to cross at each green light. Not what I call expressway travel.
I generally drive n/s on Middlefield or ECR in commute times and stay off Alma because once again it takes more than one green light to cross each light due to entering traffic from cross streets.
The eb/wb routes are congested due to the few routes to cross Caltrain and also the left turn only am at Churchill. Also the Arastradero/Churchill bottleneck is problematic.
My particular bug bears are the ECR/Alma/Sand Hill and the T & C mess. These two gridlocks affect each other.
An enlightened traffic engineer who lives in Palo Alto and drives regularly on our streets would know about these trouble spots. Unfortunately, our traffic engineers do surveys and automatic vehicle counts without actually standing watching the commutes or attempting to drive them.
Until such time as a traffic engineer who knows what he is talking about from the experience of trying to get from A to B like real people, we are not going to see any type of improvement. We need efficient traffic movement, not traffic calming or slowing. The only reason we have so many speeders or red light runners is because for many drivers it is the only way to get 100 yards further along in commute time.
Traffic is only going to get worse in Palo Alto with the increase in housing and the increase in office space. Public transit is not going to alter the problems unless school traffic is elminated through a comprehensive shuttle system and choice/commuter schools are eliminated. Even then, I can't see that the summer/school breaks traffic is any lighter than school day traffic.
For what it is worth, those of us who sometimes/always try to get around Palo Alto in commute times, know that it is bad.
a resident of Community Center
on Feb 24, 2013 at 5:00 pm
Resident-- you are correct we need efficient traffic movement instead of slowing and calming. But we will not have that when we have a person like Jamie Rodriguez on the staff. His goal is to hinder auto traffic as much possible, at the behest of the bike coalition ( which has way too much input on traffic matters). Any complaints or disagreement are ignored ( witness the charleston/arastedero road narrowing project) .
The town and country mess is ridulous and I am shocked that it has not been addressed in any manner.

Chillax everyone. The OP was obviously being sarcastic. We have no traffic problem here in PA.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Feb 25, 2013 at 9:54 am
Yes, the OP was being sarcastic, obviously, but kind of wasted all our time in doing so. Thus, I waste more time by entering my opinion. I grew up here in the 70s and there was a lot less traffic. What I worry about most is cut-through drivers mowing down students who are bicycling to school. There are only a couple of times during the day where traffic is backed-up, and that's during school time and rush hour. And it's not so, so bad, just an extra 5 minutes is needed.

I fully expect Ashley to win a silver or bronze at Worlds next year. I think she will be motivated to become an even better skater by this. Kostner will defend her title next year though.
Alissa will never come close to making a U.S World team again. She will receive Flatt-like USFSA dumpage next year in the unlikely event she is foolish enough to compete ever again. She can be proud of a fine career though, 2 U.S titles and a GP final victory. The team will be Wagner and Gold unless Gold falters in which case the 2nd spot could go to either Zhang, or one of Nagasu or Agnes if they get their acts together.

In case you've somehow missed the whole hullaballoo, the picture below of 13-year-old Willow and 20-year-old actor Moises Arias was recently posted on Instagram, and the internet subsequently exploded. Everyone immediately leapt to the conclusion that the photograph was somehow sexual. Had this been a picture of a young white girl with a man a few years older than her, it most likely would have been written off as totally innocent.

Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: Metasploit – The Penetration Tester`s Guide
Review by J. Oquendo
"Metasploit – The Penetration Tester's Guide" by David Kennedy, Jim O'Gorman, Devon Kearns, and Mati Aharoni is perhaps the most enjoyable book I have come across regarding the uses and functionality of Metasploit. There were so many concepts it refreshed me on, many functions I didn't know existed and other functions I did not correctly understand even with my years of using Metasploit. Let's take an in-depth look into this stellar publication by No Starch Press.
Initially I skipped through the first chapter of the book, "The Absolute Basics of Penetration Testing." However, I went back to the chapter as I had already been in and out of reading the methodologies laid out by the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES). This chapter actually made sense after the fact, since my approach was that of the technical one: Show me the meat of this book. Not everyone who uses Metasploit (and other tools like it) has a concise understanding of penetration testing, and many will assume that aiming Metasploit at an address constitutes a penetration test. The chapter is clear, summarized and offers much food for thought outside of Metasploit and into the realm of penetration testing.
After the break, look for a link to a free download of Chapter 8: "Exploitation Using Client-Side Attacks"

Locally, beeks say to begin treating (with any treatment) August 15. I've read threads where people were "fall" treating in November (technically fall, but opening double deeps in Novemember?). It's August 22, and I haven't pulled supers yet. It's getting cooler, and daylight hours are shorter, but it would seem the bees could still bring in nectar for another month. Also, if you've pulled supers, can one feed fall syrup, if needed, while treating? What about treating while queen is still laying what will be winter nurse bees? Too many questions, I know, and YES, I DID a search, thank you.

As we begin the 7th month of our 9 month points-paying season at Bubba Raceway Park we have a spectacular show in store. The Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will not only run their regular events but they will make up the rained-out features from mid-July. These races will be run in the sequence of Feature-Heat-Feature. Joining these 3 exciting divisions will be the Powder Puff Derby and the Demolition Derby
So, after 6 months of racing Rodney Wright has a 32 point advantage over Trevor Gamble. They've had 16 features; how much closer can you get? Mike Stalnaker has been masterful with his under-powered equipment and a win is just around the corner and no one will be surprised. In 4th is Mark Maresca who, up until his last race, had been flying under the radar. Last time he was flying up front until he barrel-rolled the 77M. In 5th is Hunter Gustafson who has shown determination and improvement in his #15. Though the title contenders are very strong, he could find Coors Light Winner's Circle and will be a massive threat for the title in 2013.
In 23 features the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks have had 13 feature winners and over 30 heat race winners! In fact, we've had 7 consecutive different feature winners and #8 and #9 are likely. "Hothead" Brian Mullins nearly has a 2 race lead over "Flash" Jonathan Appleby as both chase a title. Both can break into Coors Light Winner's Circle and start the final run the right way. In a distant 3rd is the 2009 champ and last year's runner-up Jason Gamble. Gamble hasn't won since early April but the #21 has been fast all seaon; consistency has been the trouble. The T&T Automotive crew has it worked out and driver #21 will be back to top form soon. Florida State Thunder Stock Champion Bubba Durbin is 4th but is over 4 races behind the leader! Durbin is always fast but will have to work to hold off young Brandon Elwood. Many in the paddock say Elwood will be the next to get that first win (on dirt) and join Mark Trexler, Mullins, and Appleby as a "first-timer." It's been a fantastic season and it may come down to who gets hot and who does not.
The fight is on in the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators as "Terrific" Tony LaPorta makes his return from his visit up North. Steve Johnson is trying to defend S&S Roofing's title and he holds a 71 point lead over Jordan McMillon in his quest. McMillon joins Brandon Haseleu as part of a "Youth Movement" in the division while LaPorta is more of the "Old Dog." LaPorta can win 15-lappers no question and Johnson can as well. Haseleu, though, seems to have his car hooked up and McMillon has been consistent as he racks up top-5s and top-3s every week. Those 4 will steal the spotlight but Kody Fisher has a nice fight for 5th brewing. It's anyone's game and the question is- Youth or Experience?
Bubba opens up the Pit Stop at 1, pit gates at 4, and grandstands at 5. Racing starts at 7. For more information you can go to www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway at 352-622-9400! See you at the track!
