PCS: Deutsche Sweetens Bid; 'Positive Development,' Says Merger Fund
Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY) this evening said it has put forward its "best and final offer" to merge its T-Mobile USA unit with U.S. wireless operator MetroPCS (PCS) after several institutional shareholders objected to the terms of the deal, first proposed back in October.
In its statement, Deutsche said it will reduce the debt accorded the new entity by $3.8 billion, for a total of $11.2 billion. Deutsche will also reduce the interest rate on those "shareholder loans" by 50 basis points. And Deutsche will extend the "lock-up period" following the closing of the deal, during which Deutsche cannot sell any shares in the combined entity, to 18 months from 6 months.
In disclosing the new terms, Deutsche said the lower interest rate was a consequence of "the new capital structure of the combined company, the improved capital markets environment in recent months, and the interest rate level of MetroPCS newly issued USD 3.5 billion of bonds priced in March."
Reached by phone this evening, Roy Behren, who helps run Westchester Capital's The Merger Fund (MERFX) along with Mike Shannon, which filed suit to block the deal, said "It is an extremely positive development."
Added Behren, "We will review the full disclosure when it is available."
Behren is among a group of large PCS shareholders that includes John Paulson and P Schoenfeld Asset Management that have objected to the terms of the deal, as I wrote earlier today.
Unclear from tonight's dispatch was whether there might be a rescheduling of a special shareholder meeting of PCS investors scheduled to vote on the deal this Friday. That seems a possibility, as tonight's revised terms may prompt PCS to issue a revised proxy statement for the deal. However, there was no mention of such in Deutsche's document.
PCS shares are up 29 cents, or 2.5%, at $11.85 in late trading.
Update: In a statement emailed this evening, P Schoenfeld commented,
PSAM is pleased that Deutsche Telekom, in response to strong opposition to the deal from shareholders, has taken steps to improve the terms being offered to PCS shareholders in the proposed MetroPCS/T-Mobile transaction. We are reviewing and considering the details of Deutsche Telekom's revised offer with our advisors at this time and will provide MetroPCS shareholders our view regarding the new terms in short order," said PSAM in response to the revised terms communicated by Deutsche Telekom.
Update: MetroPCS announced this evening they have rescheduled Friday's special shareholder meeting to April 24th at 8 am, Central Time.

Hikvision, Milestone Partner to Protect Hundreds of Montreal Schools
Canadian integrator Alpha TSi installed nearly 900 Hikvision cameras integrated with Milestone Systems XProtect Platform to hundreds of schools in the Marguerite-Bourgeoys school district.
By SSI Staff · May 29, 2014
MONTREAL — The Commission Scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board has deployed nearly 900 Hikvision IP cameras utilizing Milestone Systems XProtect video management software (VMS) to increase security throughout hundreds of schools in the district.
The school board tapped Alpha TSi to handle the large-scale project. The firm designs and installs access control, intercom, intrusion alarm and video surveillance solutions. The integrator also specializes in network security architecture.
The Milestone Certified Partner selected Hikvision cameras because they best met the school board's specifications, Alpha TSi Vice President Phillipe E Bergeron says.
"Hikvision cameras have great image quality, impressive true WDR, motorized lenses that are easy to adjust using the Milestone VMS, and the edge storage precisely meets the client's needs," he explains.
The integrator installed fixed domes for indoors and outdoors. The cameras feature 1.3-megapixels, true wide dynamic range (WDR), true day/night technology, superior low-light performance, motorized lens for remote focus and remote zoom, and POE/High POE, according to Hikvision. Both camera types are fully integrated with the Milestone XProtect software including SD edge storage support.
The Milestone XProtect software provides three flexible client interfaces in 27 languages for the efficient administration of the system, the users, and the cameras that are distributed across the multiple sites. Live video is also recorded for fast searching in case of incidents, and easy sharing or export to authorities, according to Milestone.
"We were really impressed with Hikvision's prompt customization for putting together a special firmware required by the scale of this project. This is the kind of service we just don't see from everyone," Alpha TSi President Sébastien Céré says.
So far, Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board is impressed with its new security solution.
"The video quality provided by Hikvision cameras has been truly superb," says Rémi Asselin, IT services director for Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board. "Both Hikvision and Milestone products demonstrated outstanding functionality for educational facilities. We are very happy with the outcome."

"Charlottesville and Albemarle County could see a potential loss of $46.5 million in defense-related spending if federally mandated cuts, which are slated to start next year, come to fruition."
There are several ways in which this is misleading. First, "defense" here means military, whether or not defensive. Second, "cuts" in Washington-talk includes reductions in a budget from one year to the next, OR reductions from a desired dream-budget to a less-desired budget, even one that is an increase over last year's. For the past 13 years, military spending has grown to levels not seen since World War II. It's over half of federal discretionary spending, and as much as the rest of the world combined. The Pentagon's budget grew each year George W. Bush was president and the first three years that Barack Obama was president. It is being cut by 2.6% this year, not the 9% used to calculate a portion of that $46.5 million figure. If the mandated cuts mentioned above go through, the Pentagon will still be spending next year more than it did in 2006 at the height of the war on Iraq.
In addition, military contractors have been bringing in more federal dollars while cutting jobs. They employed fewer people in 2011 with bigger contracts than in 2006 with smaller ones. So the logic of bigger contracts = more jobs is essentially a bucket of hope and change.
And the Pentagon's base budget is less than half of total military spending. It's necessary to add in war spending (over $80 billion nationally this year), nuclear weapons spending through the Department of Energy, military operations through the State Department, USAID, and the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, etc., to get the real total. The Pentagon also has $83 billion in unobligated balances it can draw on.
The war industries in the United States are also by no means limited to the U.S. government. U.S. weapons makers brought in $66.3 billion last year from foreign governments. Many of those governments, like our own, are engaged in horrendous human rights abuses, but as long as we're being sociopathic about job creation, there's no reason to leave this out.
The article continues:
"The figures - compiled by the Center for Security Policy and the Coalition for the Common Defense, conservative-leaning Washington, D.C.-based think tanks - are based on publicly available information on Department of Defense contracts compiled and made available online through the Federal Procurement Data System website.
"The coalition describes itself as a group of individuals and local and national organizations 'committed to the Constitutional imperative to provide for the common defense and returning the United States to sensible fiscal principles without sacrificing its national security.'"
Never mind that the Constitution was written to include the creation of armies in times of war, not the permanent maintenance of a military industrial complex as a jobs program. The above is how the two groups pushing the "news" in this article describe themselves. How would a journalist describe them? Well, as long as they're promoting military spending, it seems most relevant and significant to describe the ways in which they benefit from that spending.
The Center for Security Policy has a board of advisors packed with weapons makers executives and lobbyists from such disinterested parties as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, TRW, Raytheon, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, and Hewlett-Packard. The Coalition for the Common Defense has been maneuvering the anti-spending Tea Party behind massive military spending. Hence the Constitution-talk. But the "Coalition" isn't run by Constitutional scholars. It's dominated by weapons company lobbyists, including the Aerospace Industry Association, which represents Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell, L-3 Communications, and other military industry corporations. The Aerospace Industry Association spends over $2 million a year lobbying our government in Washignton. Much of that money ends up being spent on luxurious lobbyist lifestyles in the great Commonwealth of Virginia. Never forget the danger of the loss of that source of job creation should Congress simply and unquestioningly take direction from the weapons makers.
The article goes on:
"The data is reported by fiscal year and does not include grants or loans.
"From 2000-2011, more than 14,000 Virginia businesses provided defense-related goods and services, according to a state level report prepared by for Common Defense.
"Based on fiscal year 2011 defense contract date, the estimated reduction in Albemarle County in 2013 would be $43.25 million; in the city, the reduction would be an estimated $3.25 million.
"Earlier this year, defense budgets were cut by about $487 billion, an average of a 9 percent cut over a decade. In addition, the reports reflect the impact of sequestration, a 2011 mandate for about $500 billion more in defense spending reductions from 2013-2021, which averages to about an overall 18 percent cut in defense spending."
Here it's worth pausing to note that the $487 billion figure has been multiplied by 10. It's a figure "over a decade." Divided by 10 it would be $48.7 billion "over a year." Or, it could be multiplied by 100 to give us $4,870 billion "over a century." The reasons to talk about the decade are two. First, it sounds bigger that way. Second, by loading the later years heavily, politicians can claim to be making big cuts while actually passing those cuts on to future politicians who may not make them. While all the news articles deal with cuts "over a decade," Congress actually only passes budgets for a year at a time.
"Published earlier this year, the reports indicate the Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads regions would see the most severe losses if the cuts are fully implemented, while the state overall could lose $7.24 billion in earnings and more than 122,000 jobs.
"'There's no question that Virginia will be the most impacted,' Christine Brim, chief operating officer of the Center for Security Policy told The Daily Progress. 'Virginia has the largest amount of defense spending. This is, without a doubt, the state that is the most impacted.'
"Furthermore, Brim said the effects go beyond just the financial to the core of Virginia's identity, history and culture as a state important to America's defense, character traits that still hold true today."
Here's Democratic Virginia Senate candidate Tim Kaine claiming that one in three Virginians depends directly on military spending. These claims are almost certainly exaggerated. They are for Albemarle County. The county's website says: "The economy of Albemarle County is vital and growing. The predominant economic sectors are services, manufacturing, education, retail, tourism, trade, care & social assistance, technical & professional services and agriculture. The County of Albemarle's labor force is roughly 53,000 and its unemployment rate of 2.6% is consistently lower than the state and national averages."
"However, Jeff Caldwell, a spokesman for Gov. Bob McDonnell, said the state does not yet have any estimates for the effect of sequestration in Virginia.
"'With so many variables involved, there is no firm number to delineate that impact on the commonwealth or any particular area,' Caldwell said by email.
"Rep. Robert Hurt, R-5th, called the looming cuts 'devastating' for his district, which encompasses most of the Charlottesville region.
"'The White House and the Senate must join with the House [of Representatives] in addressing this impending crisis so we can keep our military men and women adequately equipped, protect jobs across the 5th District and the Commonwealth, and reduce our national debt in a responsible manner," Hurt said in a statement."
A few points missed in the above: First, refusing to cut military spending does the opposite of reducing the national debt. Second, military spending is the least cost-efficient way to produce jobs. It produces fewer jobs than spending on infrastructure, green energy, education, or even tax cuts for working people. So, if the goal is to save money while producing jobs, military spending is exactly the place to cut. Third, there is absolutely no evidence that "adequate equipment" is what's on the chopping block here. Hurt makes it sound like putting the U.S. navy on Jeju Island, South Korea, against the passionate will of the people there, is being done not to threaten China but as an act of philanthropy for U.S. sailors.
"House Minority Leader Eric Cantor, whose 7th District encompasses portions of the Charlottesville region, issued an even more sharply worded statement on his website, calling the planned cuts a 'dangerous threat' and urging President Obama and Senate Democrats 'to take serious action to prevent these arbitrary, devastating cuts from taking place.'"
Did he offer any evidence for those sharp words?
"While Brim acknowledged the need and desire to cut federal spending, she said gutting the defense budget would derail America's recovery from the recession.
"That's because conflict would interrupt trade and commerce and 'there would be nothing more costly than having our trade routes disrupted,' she said."
Now this is a new one. Unless we continue to borrow money from China with which to build up our military presence all over the globe, including in every location strategically helpful in cutting off China's trade routes, our trade routes will be disrupted. What trade routes?! Can she name one? Conflict, indeed, dirupts peaceful activity. But conflict comes from war spending. War spending and war preparation spending does not reduce conflict.
"Local leaders, however, were more measured in their assessment of the effect of the cuts on the local economy.
"'While our area would be affected by any change in federal spending, the overall impact would be minimal given that defense spending constitutes a small percentage of our overall economy,' Chris Engel, Charlottesville's economic development director said by email.
"Albemarle County spokeswoman Lee Catlin said recent reaffirmations of the county's AAA bond rating in spite of potential defense-related reductions is an indicator of confidence and stability in the local economy.
"'However, we are home to several major federal installations and associated defense contractors who are valued and important partners in our economy, so we are concerned about funding uncertainty,' Catlin said by email.
"And if the spending cuts do come to pass, Engel expressed confidence that the region's economy would persevere. 'I think our business community has proven itself to be very adaptable in the past and this could be another instance where that trait will be needed,' Engel said."
If these last paragraphs had come first, this would not have been a bad article at all.

I personally go with a vanguard retirement fund.
Now you want to sell $50 of that mutual fund while keeping $100 (the original purchase still in the fund). How does the short term capital gain tax work?
Isn't palladium
.KO - coke - no introduction needed
2.PM - Phillip Morris - encompass international cigarette market
3.MO - altria - encompass american cigarette market/ beer/wine market and potetntially marijuana one day
4.CVX - Chevron- Oil Major - great 3.4% dividend
5.Visa - credit cards - 80% of the world still uses cash
6.CHL - china mobile - big dividend, 700M users, thats double the US population, at 52 week lows now and chinese population growing by 80M annually
7.SNP - Sinopec - giant yield, chinese version of Exxon/Chevron ie 200B+ market cap oil, people laugh when I mention it BUT China sits on a way larger amount of shale than the US and we claim we're in a shale boom, once china develops fracking technology look out
8.Platinum - its very cheap now, and useful, forget gold, platinum is in catalytic converters and oddly enough china/india once again are moving towards having emissions standards since their pollution is awful, there will be a big demand for platinum. Platinum is very scarce, there is a fraction of platinum compared to gold/silver
9.KMI - kinder morgan, huge yield, biggest pipeline in the US, with our shale boom these guys will prosper for years to come
10 - split it among Shell(rds.b),Conoco, exxon,BP
My portfolio has all, but Im tilted more at the top to 1 particular stock but I love all these over the next decade

Receding hopes for press freedom in Tunisia
These days, press freedom in Tunisia feels ever more distant.
Many journalists believed that media freedoms, which were virtually nonexistent under former President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, would grow after his ouster. During the aftermath of the December 2010 uprising, an independent press blossomed and special commissions were set up to reform the media sector. But since the elected government took office nine months ago, the tide has slowly reversed.

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Secondary and Technical Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
- Focus on What Works
The Office of Vocational and Adult Education's (OVAE) investment in adolescent literacy research supports the principles of No Child Left Behind by contributing to the proliferation of research-based practice, amplifying the focus on reading proficiency for all students, and identifying solutions for closing the achievement gap.
In partnership with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, OVAE provided funding for multidisciplinary research projects and the development of an Adolescent Literacy Research Network. The research will examine cognitive, perceptual, behavioral, and other mechanisms that influence the development of reading and writing abilities during adolescence, as well as the extent to which interventions may narrow or close literacy gaps for adolescents.
Outcomes and Products
- Award of five five-year research grants to:

State your business clearly
Re: Answerphone messages. A semi-retired person who has been a JP for more than 45 years says many people leave messages on his answerphone. They often speak softly, with an accent and far too quickly. He often has to listen to a message four or five times before he can understand it. "Messages need to be slow, loud and the callback number needs to be repeated at least twice," he says.
Indicators often under-used
Tony says: "The parking stories are an indicator of a wider problem, which is lack of awareness of others. The most annoying habit is failure to indicate your intentions and never looking in your rear vision mirror."
Family Court wrapped up in bureaucracy
A frustrated Anthony has this to say: "It is not only NZ Post that is bizarrely bureaucratic. Under the Government's plan to centralise the Family Court, an 'Auckland Central File Management Team' is based at the District Court in Albert St.
However, the Auckland Family Court office will not accept delivery of correspondence and documents addressed to the team if the file to which those documents relate is coded to Waitakere or North Shore. The documents must be personally delivered or couriered to Henderson for Waitakere, or Albany for North Shore, whereupon those suburban courts will courier back to Auckland. This week I had to walk from the Auckland Court to the nearest Post Shop to arrange a courier."
Driver an example of Kiwi warmth
Jenny is all praise for the bus driver who saw her Saudi Arabian homestay running out the gate, recognised him, stopped right outside the house, opened the bus door and gave the young man a cheery smile as he boarded. Another driver did that for her once. "You couldn't have a better example of Kiwi warmth and hospitality than that. Many overseas students are happy here because of that kind of attitude."
Trendy cyclist happy to keep hoicking
Apology from "Trendy cyclists degrading Parnell". "If Daphne does her walk every Tuesday at the same time she may have noticed my cycling buddies patiently waiting outside the Cathedral for me to catch up - an act of courtesy which should be applauded, not criticised. Regarding the uncouth habits of my comrades, riding hard out for over an hour in the cool of the morning tends to deposit phlegm and mucus in the throat and nose. Snorting, hoicking and spitting is an efficient, safe and satisfying way for cyclists to deal with this issue. Carrying a dirty hanky around is considered unsavoury by some people. Having said all that I have asked my friends to clear their airways more discreetly and I apologise for the unintended offence. We enjoy riding through Parnell and do not want to upset the locals."

Book(s) for a beginner?
I've been doing ethical hacking learning for awhile, but I've been out of the game and I'm a little rusty. I was hoping to read some beginner books to help me get moving forward on my progress again. Does anyone have any ideas on any good beginner ethical hacking books? Please let me know either way.
Thank you!!

Quote of the Week
"Incog, you are exactly right. You have one of the most attacked sites on the internet, and by far the heaviest attacked site that I am involved with. Even sites such as the KKK don't get attacked this heavily. You speak a truth the Jews and anti-whites can't stomach, and wail and gnash their teeth in frustration.
Thanks to your continually poking the degenerates, I have also been able to compile a list of Israeli government IPs that have attempted to hack or DDOS the server via incogman, which has helped block them across all servers and protect many other pro-white sites.
Rarely do I have to suspend a site, and really, only a couple for a very short time…none in the last year, until you thoroughly upset the untermensch this past week…
Keep doing what you are doing, and I'll keep doing what I'm doing, it's having an effect, and I'm sure it's caused a few heart attacks."

- Since my views expose the "Chosen Ones" far too much for what they want White people to see, they tricked Wordpress into closing down my WP blog by using sneaky, underhanded methods. So please help me in getting my NEW address out and visit here often. Alert all your pals. Remember: Evil Whitey INCOG MAN tells it like it is! NOTE: If the article does NOT have a byline at the beginning and has "—Phillip Marlowe" or "INCOG MAN" at the end, then I wrote it. Some of the photos at the top of the articles are real, but most are creative, Photoshop "illustrations" as political commentary (usually signed INCOG MAN, if I did it). If you can't tell the difference, then you need to grow a brain.

The Trump Slays The Putzes Super Tuesday!
Donald Trump, cleaned up big time in today's "super Tuesday" primaries, winning at least 8 or 9 out of the 12 states so far. Marco Rubio has won ZILCH. Ted Cruz did win his home state of Texas, but Trump was not too far behind. In fact, Trump nicely congratulated Cruz for his victory. Looks like FAGio will be biting the dust soon — unless some tricky-dick backroom business is done in the attempt to derail Trump at the convention or even before, actually. Continue reading
Supreme Court Says SCREW The Constitution
Like everything else, White people — the real workers in America – will be the ones who end-up paying (at least until they finally put us all into the gutter together). Mark my words: The parasites, once again, will get another free ride at our expense and laugh about it among themselves. The real elite don't give a rat's ass — they think all of us are niggers.

Accommodation summary
|Sidonienstraße, 01445 Radebeul, 德国
The apartment is located conveniently in Radebeul: Railway station, bus and tram stops, shops and restaurants just a few steps away. The highway, the airport of Dresden and the Dresden City Center can be reached within few minutes by car.
The apartment is equipped with a separate toilet, bathroom with small tube, kitchen, hall, living room with television and sofa, bedroom with double bed.
Airportt transfer, washing service and bread rolls available upon request.
The apartment is located in the eastern part of Radebeul at the outskirts of Dresden. by car you can be in Dresden's famous Old Town within 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can use public transport. In the Altstadt (Old Town Quarter) you can find the Frauenkirche, the Semper Opera, the Dresdener Zwinger, the Gemaeldegalerie Alte Meister ('Old Masters Picture Gallery') and the Residenzschloss ('Residential Palace') with the treasure chamber of the Saxon kings, the famous Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault). The nearby Park Grosser Garten is also worth a visit.
With the historic paddle steamers of the Saxon Dampfschifffahrt, you can explore the Elbe Valley. Also, it is convenient to get to the downstream cities of Meissen and Radebeul by boat. Upstream, there is the Saxon Switzerland and the fortress of Königstein. A more sporting alternative is a bicycle tour on the bike path Elberadweg. Visits to the palaces at the river Elbe are also recommended.
After a long day of activities, Dresden offers plenty of opportunities for night owls. For a pub night, you can visit "Weisse Straße" or "Münzgasse" in the old town. But cult pubs and fancy restaurants can be found mainly in the Neustadt quarter and the former industrial site, both north of the old town. The area is considered to be the new trendy district and is also the center of Dresden's club and party scene.
住宿规定In the apartment smoking is not allowed.
|Check-in before
I very much enjoyed my stay. You have your own entrance, there is the shower with bath tube, the fully equipped kitchen, lots of storage and space as well as the double bed room, where you sleep very well. You have a supermarket down the road but you might better enjoy some at the bakery/cafe just a few footsteps away. The Train station, Tram and Bus stops are all very close and take you in no time to Dresden City. You also can eat out very well and for decent prices. There is an old bar behind the tea shop, you must visit this place. The landlady will be more than happy to welcome you. Everyone is very friendly and people love to see visitors.
Dresden is a beautiful city. Easy to visit with public transport from Radebeul .
It was a clean,big appartement which included all we needed.
Very comfortable appartment. Very good connection with Dresden, German common transport is perfect. Sandra is very nice and helpful. I recommend this place!
The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and the furniture was comfortable.
Appartamento molto grande magari un po' datato, accessoriato di tutto quello che puo' servire, il bagno un po' arrangiato non proprio il massimo ma sicuramente funzionale, siamo stati accolti al nostro arrivo, e poi non piu' disturbati fino alla nostra partenza evidentemente abbiamo lasciato una buona impressione perche' non hanno neanche controllato come abbiamo lasciato la casa.
Punti a favore la posizione comoda, parcheggio sotto casa, equipaggiamento della casa, dimensioni della stessa.
Punti a sfavore scalinata infinita per entrare in casa non adatta a chi ha problemi, bagno da rivedere, casa un po' datata.
Nel complesso e' stato un buon fine settimana tranquillo e senza problemi.
Zampini Giovanni Verona Italia
Prima, hat mit gut gefallen in der FeWo! Praktische Einrichtung und vor allem ruhig.
Gerne wieder.
Selten so angenehme Gastgeber kennengelernt. Die Wohnung liegt nur 2 Gehminuten vom Bahnhof Radebeul Ost entfernt, die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Radebeul kann man zu Fuß erkunden. Sie ist geräumig und es fehlt an fast gar nichts, wenn auch die Einrichtung nicht topmodern ist, aber man fühlt sich trotzdem oder gerade deswegen sofort wohl. Die gesamte Familie Bachmann ist nett und hilfsbereit, 5 Sterne alleine dafür !!! Einziges Manko: für etwas korpulentere Menschen ist der WC-Raum etwas eng gebaut, ansonsten ein perfekter Aufenthalt für uns !

America's Best Strip Clubs
The four strip clubs in America that always keeps us coming back for more.
Since we're intrepid travelers, we do have our favorite strip joints when we visit towns across America. Here are the places that keep us coming back for more.
Sam's Hofbrau
If you feel like you're experiencing déjà vu when you step inside Sam's Hofbrau, you are. Legend has it that Quentin Tarantino loved the ambiance of the club so much, he wrote it into his film Jackie Brown and used it again to shoot a scene in Kill Bill: Volume 2. With friendly and gorgeous girls dancing both day and night, some of the friendliest bouncers and bartenders we've ever come across and one of the greatest-stocked bars, it's no surprise that the parking lot is constantly packed.
You may not be able to see fully nude girls at Sam's Hofbrau due to current L.A. laws which forbid establishments from serving alcohol if girls are completely bare, but their 50-plus beer menu and breathtaking dancers who without a doubt rank in our top 10 sexiest pole dancing shows we've ever seen will keep you content with what you're paying for. Lap dances are around $10 per song and we've been told that from Thursday to Saturday things get pretty rowdy, so if you're hoping to score a seat, you better get there before 10.
Penthouse Executive Club
The American dream is alive and well at the Penthouse Executive Club in New York City. Home of the coveted Robert's Steakhouse, a two-story atrium designed for a full frontal view from any part of the club, three main-floor stages, champagne lounges and two additional stages suspended 20 feet above the floor, you can understand why this club is our go-to spot when we're in the Big Apple.
And, of course, with sophistication and classy décor comes outrageously stunning women. As if they've stepped out of a magazine and into your life, these women are here to spoil you rotten and treat you the way you know you should be treated: like a king! Not only will this place leave you feeling like you've died and gone to heaven, the entertainers at the club also teach striptease lessons for women on Saturdays and Mondays. Group lessons are $25 an hour and one-on-one private lessons run for about $100 an hour. We suggest bringing your girlfriend in for a lesson on a Saturday while you scope the place out and have her show you what she's learned later that night.
Rick's Cabaret
You may be overwhelmed by your choice of strip clubs on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but if you are looking for a guaranteed good time, head on down to Rick's Cabaret. Most places you will find on Bourbon Street are holes-in-the-wall, which is great for some nights, but Rick's newly renovated "18,000-square-foot, three-story oasis" is a breath of fresh air from the debauchery that is happening outside.
Grab a drink from the bar—if it's happy hour you'll be pleased with their prices—and sit front row center because you won't want to miss the most beautiful dancers in all of New Orleans doing their thing just for you. Rick's girls are definitely the best performers we encountered when we were strolling the French Quarter, and they all have the assets to back that claim up.
Brad's Brass Flamingo
Touting that they have the most beautiful women in all of Indiana and the finest private lap dances that go for a surprisingly low rate of $10, it's hard to not be a little in love with Brad's Brass Flamingo. Equipped with 12 TVs, a 50-inch plasma to watch the game, a full-service kitchen, a complimentary buffet for patrons from four to six P.M., a variety of fine cigars, over 40 different beers and a wide selection of any other liquor you can imagine in their two fully stocked bars, it's hard not to blow all of your money at Brad's.
As for the girls, well, it's no surprise why Brad's Brass Flamingo has been voted the best lap dance in town. Most nights two to three girls are dancing at one time, performing amazing pole tricks and flaunting their outrageously fit bodies. This place is what strip clubs aspire to be!
Crazy Horse
Winning the 11th and 12th annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Award for club of the year, and voted America's number one gentleman's club, it's no surprise why Crazy Horse is a strip club staple in San Francisco. You may not be able to drink in here, but the fully nude dancers and the wicked adult star roster will leave you drunk with pleasure.

[quote user="AsianGiant"][quote user="mjg407"]The pilots got task saturated, they were both concentrating on the car chase and were not keeping a good "see and avoid" tactic.[/quote]
I still think it's unbelievable..
To me it's like having 2 space shuttles accidentally collide in space...
[/quote]not really, you are actually working in a relatively small area, and working in three dimensions, and both pilots are focusing on the ground, so neither sees each other. It has actually happened a lot. The worst Navy P-3 disaster which cost 25 lives happened when one airplane was climbing and the other descending over the same target.

To create online surveys for data capture in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center studies or as part of standard care.Back to top
Administration of surveys can be time-consuming and expensive, often involving creation of a paper questionnaire, distribution to respondents, and hand-entry of collected data into a database. In addition to inefficiencies, such an approach may not be compliant with institutional or regulatory standards for data security and privacy. With computer-based methods of data acquisition, a researcher may realize better response rates, reduced data entry errors, lower costs, improved survey administration, and appropriate security/privacy of collected information.
See an example electronic survey.Back to top
How We Can Help
Whether a one-time, longitudinal, single-site, collaborative multi-site, patient or clinician-based study, the Web Survey Core's team will help design an electronic survey that will safely and securely capture key data for your study. The Web Survey Core develops surveys for projects in the four categories listed below:
- Surveys for Memorial Sloan Kettering protocols
- Surveys for multi-center protocols where Memorial Sloan Kettering is a collaborating site
- Surveys for Memorial Sloan Kettering research that is exempt from IRB/PB review
- Surveys as part of standard care
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure appropriate institutional approvals have been obtained to establish which of the categories listed above is applicable to their study and what institutional, external, or regulatory approvals/procedures are necessary. Participation of the Web Survey Core does not indicate institutional approval. To determine if your project requires IRB approval, please contact your institution's IRB.
Following an initial meeting with the investigator to review specific questionnaire items, web page design options and functionality, we will implement an architecture which meets your needs and conforms to institutional requirements for privacy and network security. In addition, the Web Survey Core's team can arrange testing, assess usability prior to formal administration of the survey and develop specific reports for data analysis.Back to top

- Centralizes data storage
- Fosters standardization of presentation and production of research surveys
- Encourages use of electronic/automated tools
Frequently Asked Questions
On a research study, is it okay to store identifying data for outside patients in the Web Survey Core database?
The external site would need to list the Memorial Sloan Kettering Web Survey Core staff in their protocols and consent forms/ Research Authorizations as one of the parties to whom data is disclosed.
On a research study, the surveys can have a feature to remind patients/participants to fill out surveys. What are the IRB/PB requirements for the Web Survey Core to contact non-MSKCC patients/participants in this type of research study?
The protocol and consent form should indicate that representatives/reminders from the MSKCC Web Survey Core will be contacting patients/participants about their survey(s).
On a research study, is there standard language that I can include in my IRB submission or grant application describing the Web Survey Core?
Get the verbiage to include in an IRB protocol or grant application describing the Web Survey Core. The Web Survey Core should be mentioned in both protocols and consent forms as having access to data for collection, storage and analysis purposes.
Web Survey Core of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is an institutional resource which assists investigators to create secure electronic surveys for use in research. The Core includes programmers to create study-specific surveys, and maintains servers for secure administration and storage of data. Web Survey Core surveys are capable of communicating with the MSKCC Clinical Trials Research Database (CRDB), which is the institution's standard repository for secure storage of patient study data. Web Survey Core surveys can also communicate with Caisis, which is an open-source, web-based cancer data management system that integrates research with patient care. The server configuration and specifications for the Web Survey Core are compliant with current standards for data safety and privacy and have undergone formal privacy and security review. Complex functionality of surveys including skip patterns, interactive questions, and two-way communication is available. Surveys can be accessed from any computer or other device connected to the Internet. Services available from the Core include online survey development; usability testing; survey maintenance during studies; data storage; and data retrieval for analysis.Back to top
Current Projects
We are currently working across multiple departments within MSKCC including the Departments of Psychology & Behavioral Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Urology, and Radiation Oncology. Our surveys are included in clinical trials, epidemiologic/screening studies, dedicated evaluations of quality of life and symptoms, health services research, and surveys of clinicians/professionals.
If you are interested in The Web Survey Core team assisting in developing an online survey please fill out the submission form.
Once the form has been submitted, you will be contacted by a member of the team. In the event you have any additional questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to top
Agreement to the Terms of the Web Survey Core
Review the Web Survey core guidelines and policies.
It is the responsibility of the client to obtain approval from their institution for a planned survey, its method of administration or analysis. The requesting client is responsible for ensuring all appropriate permissions and protections have been secured to ensure appropriate protection of patient/participant information collected and stored by the Web Survey Core. The Web Survey Core does not take responsibility in this area and clients are advised to work with their departments/institutions and contact offices managing regulatory and compliance. The Web Survey Core is not responsible for obtaining IRB approval and collaboration with the Web Survey Core does not imply Memorial Sloan Kettering IRB/PB approval or oversight. The Web Survey Core creates surveys based upon information provided by investigators or their staff under the assumption that all institutional approvals have been addressed prior to any research being initiated. By making use of services provided by the Web Survey Core, it is the assumption of the Web Survey Core that the client has obtained appropriate permissions and the Web Survey Core may request documentation that proper permissions were approved.Back to top


text: Kizaemon Saiga vs MASAYA Added to Shootboxing S-Cup Written by Dave Walsh View Comments Shootboxing has announced the first fight for its S-Cup card on November 17th and it is a 63kg matchup between the flashy Kizaemon Saiga and 19 year old prospect MASAYA. Saiga (10-5-1, 2 KO) is 5-1 in his last 6 fights, losing only to Koya Urabe in a close fight while picking up wins over Krush 60kg tournament finalists Fumiya Osawa and Katsuya Goto, as well as stopping then WPMF World Lightweight champion Arita Tsukahara back in May. He most recently took a decision against Tatsuya Inaishi at REBELS.12. MASAYA currently holds the #1 ranking in Shootboxing at Super Lightweight, going 7-1 in the promotion and currently riding an 8 fight win streak in all kickfighting competition. Among those 8 wins are Hiroshi Mizumachi, Yu Sugawara, MMA fighters Tenkei Oda and Kensaku Nakamura and most recently, Naoki. A win over Saiga would be the highest profile win for the young prospect and would without a doubt earn him a shot at current SB Super Lightweight champ Hiroaki Suzuki.

Town Square
An Update, Please
Original post made by Harald A. Bailey, Alamo, on Feb 9, 2012
Please update this story: Web Link
Thank you,
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 10, 2012 at 9:38 am
Dear Dolores,
Can you help?
As we have seen over the past 90 days, little in the Danville Express town square forum is respectful opinion or participation in the news process fulfilling "Please be respectful and truthful in your postings so Town Square will continue to be a thoughtful gathering place for sharing community information and opinion" and we need to know what role EMCEB management and editors have in fulfilling the commitments posted by Emily West, then editor of the Danville Express.
We are also pursuing the use of "Posted by Editor, Danville Weekly Online" in current postings by management and editors to the Danville Express Town Square Forum. If the intention is to claim The Danville Weekly identity for the Express Forum then the entire tabloid site must edit itself back to the journalism of you, Dolores.

Dear Editor,
Please review Web Link and see how many parallels you can find in the town square forum among presumed adults' abuse of fellow commentators including publicly using names to defame.
Your readers are still waiting for an update of Emily's commitments and many have responded to CDSI Member Information with specifics about abuse of their names and commentary on the town square forum.
It remains your dilemma to remedy.
a resident of another community
on Feb 20, 2012 at 8:52 am
Dear Editor,
In an email message received at CDSI Information yesterday, "Express won't be bullied by Hal Bailey" was the response to this exchange's request for update. Such claims of bullying are an interesting political twist on the defamation, disrespect and misinformation sponsored on the town square forum. To interpret, "EMCEB management and express editor will not be challenged to offer responsible, sponsored debate by readers" to fulfill their own words "Please be respectful and truthful in your postings so Town Square will continue to be a thoughtful gathering place for sharing community information and opinion. All postings are subject to our TERMS OF USE, and may be deleted if deemed inappropriate by our staff."
As many among neighborhoods e-exchanges responded to distribution of the email message, "Express will not be bullied about their sponsored bullying." Our purpose was served by simply illustrating that Emily West's admission of what is very wrong with the town square forums will continue. The result achieved is validation that "what is wrong with the town square forum will stay very wrong".
We have your conclusion.

Best FontFonts for Book Text from our Collection Tier
They say that you can't judge a book by its cover. Yet the choice of a typeface in a book can have a fundamental impact on the reader's experience of the book. If a book's text is too tight it can be tricky to read, if parts of the letters are too thin they can disappear off the page. In the third installment of our Collection Tier blog series, we tackle the typographic heights of book text and offer some handy hints and tips as well as a roundup of our chosen picks from our Collection Tier suitable for book text.
In long passages of running text – either in a book or magazine – make sure to select a typeface whose letters are not too tight. Maintaining an even rhythm is one of the most important factors in a good text face. The white spaces between the letters of a word or line should be about the same size, visually, as the white space inside the letters (like the letter 'n'). In display faces, letters can be spaced much more tightly together.
Make sure that the thin strokes are just right! When you are printing small, the thickness of the thin parts of the letters must still be thick enough on the page so that it does not break away. Book faces tend to have some degree of contrast between thick and thin strokes. Just remember that the thick strokes should not be too thick, and that the thin strokes should not be too thin. Display types can pump up the contrast a lot more than text faces should.
Check the fonts' OpenType feature availability. In immersive reading environments like books, oldstyle figures are both elegant and helpful. Lining figures can form a dark block, disturbing the even flow of a text. Small caps can be useful for acronyms, etc. – they help maintain a text's consistent rhythm, too. Aside from making sure that the 'f' doesn't collide with letters that come after it, ligatures aren't really necessary in book text sizes. In display applications, though, ligatures can add a great note to a design. Larger-sized text allows plenty of room for ligatures to call attention to themselves.

NW Bend homeowners awaken to fire, sirens
String of suspicious fires damages cars, garages, church
BEND, Ore. - Police are not saying if they believe a string of fires set in downtown Bend early Wednesday morning are connected, but residents affected by the flames find it hard to think about anything besides arson.
Police taped off seven different crime scenes Monday morning. Five of them were in the alley near St. Helens Place. That's where Matt Calanchini lives, and it was clear he'd had a long morning.
"I heard sirens and I figured it was a car crash," Calanchini said later Wednesday.
He went back to bed, not knowing how close the trouble really was.
"Shortly later, there was a big pounding on my door and a fireman telling me to get out," Calanchini recalled.
Someone apparently had set Calanchini's detached garage on fire. At the same time, fire crews were busy tackling blazes at two church buildings nearby. That forced Calanchini to grab a garden hose and take action to save his belongings.
"I have a new respect for how strong the smoke and fire was," said Calanchini. "I could barely stand at that doorway, and it doesn't even look that bad."
A fire crew from Sunriver finally got control of the blaze in Calanchini's garage. But not before the fire destroyed his neighbors motorcycle he was storing, and other possessions that can't be brought back.
"The most important thing being a box of letters from my mom over the past 20 years," said Calanchini. "She's an extraordinary writer, and that's how she communicates -- and that hurts the most."
John Dempsey lives just blocks away from Calanchini.
"It really looked like something out of the movies," said Dempsey, showing photos he took of the fires.
Dempsey got a bird's eye view of the destruction at the churches and Calanchini's garage.
"The entire sky was full of smoke, and there was a lot of backlighting too, so it really made it look eerie," said Dempsey.
By later Wednesday morning, the smoke had cleared. But from behind the police tape, it was hard to see the damage done. Two cars, two detached garages and a wood pile were all set ablaze. Police are searching for a suspect.

Only the blind, fools, and ultra-liberals refuse to see the path we as a nation are on.
many ask why the administration would go to all the trouble to disarm the citizens?
it is going to expensive , dirty and they are going to be in for a hell of a fight.
surely it is for our own good some think??
the real reasons ain't so pretty.
if you follow what has been going on in the EU -
- my guess is the big "O" and his crew are seeing all the riots , protests knock-down-drag outs and most likely thinking --
"when our economic crash happens we can't have bands armed citizens wanting to know why their money is worthless, where all the gold in ft knox went, why their retirements are gone and why the stock market crashed and why all their investments are gone. --
their gonna be mad as hell because a gallon of gas will be $100 --if there is any gas--same goes for food and power--
and now that free healthcare ain't the least bit free either---
they ain't gonna like our high living and partying with the hollyweird stars and flying around on giant private jets on their dollars, eating $40,000 a can caviar while were laughing at the watching sheeples retirements going down the drain!--
--they might want to take it out on us innocent politicians! so we better grab their arms while we can!
that way we can have nice riots like the EU!"
that are happening because the EUs money that was once gold is now turning into just paper. and that may have been the 'baby" crash.
there are bigger failures of the world economy just around the corner.
the big "O" and crew they know it. hell they patch it over every day or with a new temp-budget/bad check kiting plan.
one of these days that made in china patch is going to blow on the slick, bald, worn out tire that is the US economy.
the administration is stealing everything they can tote off and hiding it overseas-- like rats fleeing a sinking ship. what do you think they know?
all this gun control BS is just another thing they want done before SHTF.
Only the blind, fools, and ultra-liberals refuse to see the path we as a nation are on.

32 Lashed Praise and Board Shop rant
Hey guys, I've never posted before or if I have I cant remember. This has been a great forum for me to get so many different opinions, and there's so much great knowledge in here, I feel I never would've learned half the stuff I know now without browsing this site.
Moving on though, I've had a pair of Vans boots for about 4 seasons. They never broke in to the degree that I wanted. There was always pressure on my toes and it wasn't that great having a numb right foot halfway through the day. They were just such an expensive purchase (relative to my income as a college student) I needed to make them work.
This season I finally decided it was time for new boots. So I started trying a few different brands on, Nike, DC, Burton and finally 32. I picked the lashed because it was wide enough for my big toes but I was able to keep the heel hold without the boot being too massive. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in a bit.
**Background story**
The shop nearby, the only one that actually stocked 32's only had an 11 and a 10. The 10 was impossibly small and the 11 was too big, my foot moved around everywhere. The guy working with me told me that the 11 was fine for me and that you wanted room to breathe. o_O I asked him how much the boot would pack out, considering the boot was already too big. He said it would fill in around my foot, maybe that's true but I didn't think so. I knew the 10.5 would be perfect. But they didn't have any and weren't about to order one, so much for supporting small business.
So I went online and got a pair of Cyan 32 Lashed boots in a 10.5 They fit amazing I'm so stoked to get these on the hill. I've been wearing them all day, they are on as I type this lol. So I just called around to see who would be able to heat mold the boots. I figure it cant hurt right? I just got off the phone with a local shop that does it. But they want $50 for the service because of liabilities. Are you kidding me? Is this normal? I mean I know I didn't buy the boots from any shop so they have no obligation to help me out but do shops normally charge for heat molding?
So if you've made it this far my question is, is it worth trying to find a place that will heat mold for free or like 5$ lol? Maybe one of the local mountains? Or should I continue to wear the boots and just be happy with them? I've gotten the impression it's not the best idea to heat mold yourself, especially in my case where they already fit so well. Thanks guys sorry if this post seems redundant, I just couldn't believe the girl on the phone quoted me $50 for heat molding. A tune up there is $70 as well O_O this site has saved me lots of money in the long run with self tuning. /End rant
Most shops like to pay rent, pay wages, pay for the heat moulding gear and then not take any money back in return. Its how they go to bed at night feeling all warm and fuzzy.
if it already fits perfectly, why bother heat molding? it will mold on its own after a while anyway. Im on at least day 15 on mine and they have molded well enough on their own around day 7-8.
I wouldn't bother
It is completely normal for shops to charge around $30-40 to heat mold boot that you didn't buy at the store (it has been this way for decades). It takes over a half hour and the attention of an employee... some places will do it for free if you buy them a pack of beer and come when the store is empty... but free or $5?!? that's less than what you would pay a shoe shiner.
Heat molding just speeds up the natural break-in process... if your boots feel good, don't bother.
You can also do it yourself (there are a few how-tos on the internet) if you can read and follow directions consistently and carefully... then just tip yourself $5 :thumbsup:
Thanks for the replys, I'm sorry I came off being ignorant towards shops and basic economics. I realize they need to make money and I felt bad enough having to order online instead of supporting a small local business. These boots are the only piece of equipment I've bought that wasn't through a local shop.
I think I got caught up in the fact that the employee was trying harder to make a sale than help me out with honest advice. And I didn't realized that the heat molding process was something more than a glorified boot dryer haha. That was the image in my head O_o
I'll just leave well enough alone and be happy with how they fit. I feel better knowing that heat molding is an actual service, I really thought they were trying to scam me when I was quoted the price of 50$, live and learn :P

If you really can't find a shop anywhere that will do it for free and REALLY want to mold them, take the insoles out, blast them with a hairdryer for about 5 minutes on low or medium (not high), lace up and stand/walk for 15 minutes. Snowboard boots are a lot less finnicky than ski boots. Molding doesn't take any expertise as it does with ski boots.
Thanks for not charging people. Good boot fitters are hard to find.
I only disagree that for some people, they need more time and work on their boots.
Also, walking around when liners are hot might not be the best thing IMO. I like to do mine with my ankles/knees flexed and try to stay still, or just flex. I got more than 45 days out of some salomon liners that were done this way.
8 Attachment(s)
Salomon liners are different. The whole linere isn't moldable. They use have to be heated moldable material in "key" areas. The liners in like K2, Ride, 32, and Burton are all single material liners and the heat molding for these really just breaks them in for day one. They actually don't conform to your foot as much as they would like you to think. It's really best if you are inbetween sizes. If you end up in the slightly bigger size I'll heat them and just make you sit with your feet up so the material expands around their foot. It also helps for heel hold to make the stand on something so there toes are elevated so the heel sinks back into the pocket. Also good if they're in between sizes and went with the smaller one. As I usually have to do.
As a business owner myself, I appreciate when I'm a customer and something of a professional courtesy is sent my way (I do the same in my business). As a customer, it definitely leaves a positive mark in my mind, and I will always return to that kind of business for future purchases. In a way, it establishes a sort of trust.
The kind who are "penny wise but pound foolish," in other words, the type that try to squeeze out any amount of money (pennies), sacrifice future purchases (pounds), and don't get my business.
Nice, Nivek.

text: I decided to try to build a sterling pistol in 7.62x25. I started with one of the wise lite receivers we have and a pps43 barrel. the main problem was getting the round to feed, I made a new trunnion with a built in feed ramp and got it to feed with pps41 mags that have been modified. the next step will be to decide if I want to make the bbl removeable or not and if it is worth making a new mag well. for now I will thread the end of the barrel so I can do some test firing and see what else needs to be done.

Cactus League Ball Parks: A League Of Their Own

Where I stayed
Baseball Digs
What I did
All 10 Cactus League ball parks, Jobing.com Arena and Cooperstown (minus Alice Cooper)
By the 1940s and early 1950s, most, if not all, Major League teams had finely structured, hierachial and understood farm systems
If the plaque set into the concourse floor at the Phoenix Stadium (home to the Oakland As in 2012) is accurate (and why not?), the Cactus League officially began in 1954. With the arrival of the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago Cubs to join up with the New York Giants in the 'Valley of the Sun', these Scottsdale and Mesa teams played with the Tucson based Cleveland Indians in a four team Cactus League.
In 2012, fifteen (15) of the thirty (30) Major League Baseball teams play in the Greater Phoenix area as members of the Cactus League. No teams are quartered in Tucson anymore. Whereas teams in the Grapefruit League are strung out all over Florida (making trips between different ball parks more of an adventure), the ball parks in Arizona are quite accessible given the excellent freeway and highway system in Phoenix
If you wish to develop a strategy for visiting each of the 10 ball parks, the following bit of intelligence may be useful. Divide the Greater Phoenix area into west and east with Central Avenue and the downtown as the dividing line. This should not be hard since downtown Phoenix harbours Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks) and US Airways Center (home of the basketball Phoenix Suns). Thus, five ball parks (Maryvale, Goodyear, Camelback Ranch, Peoria and Surprise) will be west/northwest/southwest while the other five parks (Phoenix, Tempe Diablo, Hohokam, Salt River Fields and Scottsdale) will reside east/northeast/southeast. There is a simple logic to the whole matter.
The Cactus League ball parks are modern, well appointed and quite amazing. They tend to range in seating capacity from around 10,000 to 13,000 if you count the tickets sold for fans who wish to spread out a blanket, bake in the sun and enjoy the outfield lawns or berms. Not all parks have lawns but most do.
Tickets for the games run the gamut from $8.00 to $48.00 depending on location, availability, time of the week or preference
The ball parks are a major tourist attraction and significant revenue source for the Greater Phoenix region during the month of March. In 2011, over 1.65 million fans showed up to watch games. As such, there has been considerable money put into the facilities by the various cities and areas where the parks are located.
The following ball parks and teams comprise the Cactus League:
1. Camelback Ranch - Glendale: Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox
2. Goodyear Park - Goodyear: Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians
3. Surprise Stadium - Surprise: Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers
5. Maryvale Baseball Park - Phoenix: Milwaukee Brewers
6. Tempe Diablo Stadium - Tempe: Los Angeles Angels
7. Phoenix Municipal Stadium - Phoenix: Oakland Athletics
8. Scottsdale Stadium - Scottsdale: San Francisco Giants
9. Hohokam Park - Mesa: Chicago Cubs
10. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick - Scottsdale: Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies
The goal on this journey into the Valley of the Sun would be to visit each of the ten ball parks and to watch each of the fifteen teams in action. Why not? Why not see each park, take in the ambiance, walk around and enjoy the smells of each facility, sample some of the non-diet conscious food, check out the various brews on offer, watch the people, enjoy the people, sense the serenity of the occasion and feel like a kid, once more.
-If your preference is to do a little reading prior to heading off to buy a ticket and waltzing into one of the ball parks, there are any of a number of illuminating books to enjoy
+"The Boys of Summer" by Roger Kahn
+"Moneyball" by Michael Lewis (or see the movie based on this work)
+"The Baseball Codes" by Jason Turbow
+"Baseball in the Garden of Eden" by John Thorn
+"Ball Four" by Jim Bouton
If you don't find these appealing, head off to the library or any good bookstore. Your search will be richly rewarded.

A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.

'Sa Caseta' geniş açık alanlar ile güzel bir geniş Mallorca evidir. Bu gerçekten muhteşem manzaralı bir güzel, huzurlu bir yer olduğunu.
Biz nazik alınan ve kendimize ev, biz temenni az şeyi vardı.
Biz keyif aldık.
Inca 5 dakika uzaklıkta ve tepenin üst iyi bir diner.
Çok kolay, ve, bizim durumumuzda, hatta vazgeçilmez olan küçük bir araba kiralayın.
'Sa Caseta' is een mooi ruim Mallorcaans huis met voldoende buitenruimtes. Het ligt op een prachtige, rustige locatie met inderdaad een schitterend uitzicht.
We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en het huis had voor ons in ieder geval alles wat we konden wensen.
Wij hebben genoten.
Inca ligt 5 autominuten verderop en boven op de heuvel is een goed eethuis.
Een autootje erbij huren is wel heel makkelijk, en, in ons geval, zelfs onontbeerlijk.
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

Last Saturday, I undertook to combine some hives I had left over from summer nuc production. Several five frame nucs survived the summer, however, only one was packed out with honey and a little brood like I'd expect a good nuc to be, so I saved that one and mooshed the rest. That leaves me working with a total of 27 colonies. I'd be comfortable losing around seven this winter, however, if the trend keeps up, the chances are pretty slim.
What this did was allow me to get rid of less desirable stock (probably lowering my winter loss rate) and enlarge hives that I want to keep but that are unable to build up sufficiently during our long summer dearth. In doing this, I'm accelerating natural attrition and accelerating my selective process to produce better bees for human uses.
This is also one of the benefits of having a larger number of hives. You can operate more like a population rather than an individual. There are many more possibilities to achieve success and many more things you can do to affect that success.
Furthermore, it goes counter to the idea that every hive must survive. That's not how it works in nature, why should we try to pull it off in agriculture?
I am also finally coming into full utilization. Right now, I only have two empty deeps that are not being used. I think with the exception of a couple new medium hives that all hives are of the size of three deeps or bigger. The only hives that will be fed granulated sugar only in an emergency would be the medium ones, they are new and I want the medium hives to make it because I'm making a partial switch to mediums. Nobody else will be fed under any circumstances.
There's my September snapshot. During a time when many beekeepers are treating or thinking of treating, this is the sort of thing a treatment-free beekeeper is thinking of.
