text: I have a ton of brood in my supers since I left a super on each hive due to them being light in the fall. I need to get the queen out of there and I was wondering your thoughts on putting an excluder on this early in the year. I have been reading from Walt Wright saying that the queen excluder gives the bees the idea that the overhead storage is where the excluder is, (if I understood him correctly). I am hoping though that since there is brood in the supers that it will not have this effect. Thoughts?

Sponsored Tingles: Savoury Moments by Dr Oetker
It's March! Already!
At the end of the month and as a part of their Savoury Moments campaign, Dr Oetker is sponsoring a Savoury Gossip Moment – the most deliciously smutty story over the last four weeks. So much to choose from recently – and judging from your emails, you'd probably nominate Robert Pattinson's Ebola infection at the top of the list. Or would it be the Jen/John vs Brange Oscar battle?
Starting today, please do send me your picks and check out their contest page here for your chance to win music downloads and Josh Groban concert tickets.
For February though, it'll have to be the Beyonce Mimi Cheese encounter at the Grey Goose pre-Oscar party…because seeing it go down in person, surrounded by an entire restaurant full of people huddled around doing the same… it was one of those classic moments.
Their mouths moving at the same time, both trying to out-class the other, both pushing out their chests while balancing their respective crowns, and of course Mariah Carey's lapdog of a husband hovering behind her…
Did I mention she spent 15 minutes chatting with B without introducing Nick? Without inviting him to be part of the conversation? While he held her coat and stood around accepting his matrimonial position behind his royal bride? IN FRONT OF A ROOM FULL OF INDUSTRY PLAYERS?
These are the smutty scenes that make us smile. Close your eyes and picture it – as her hands wave around her face, not unlike the movements she makes while she's singing, and Beyonce trying to stifle her disdain, and the audience wishing they were both mic'ed…
Savoury, right?

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great host, nice location, very recommended!
When I arrived in the apartment, the manager said the pipe of the apartment is out of order. So, he proposed to stay the temporary apartment for two days.
The temporary apart was very dirty, very small, a lot of roachs and bad bed.
I could not sleep the temporary area. My family was very unhappy yo the situation.
I complained to the manager the next day and then he move us better apartment. After two days from our arrived, we could go to our apartment,
Finally, the apartment that I reserved was good location and nice. The manager was very kind and supported all.
But we have to move three times and had bad image for London travel and wasted times during my vacation for the period.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartement. It was clean and cosy. Joe is verry friendly and helpful. The neighboorhood was quit. The tube station (central line) is 15 minutes (walking) away.
Host to 1 day before the stay tried to change the terms of the agreement. During booking we informed that we will come around 22.00. The host wanted to tell us the keys until about 7 in the morning saying that we will be aloud to check in and it bothers the neighbors. Later, another attempt to necessarily send a taxi for us despite the fact that I had purchased tickets for the subway. After rejecting taxi poor contact, barges answer questions. Apartment little dirty. Overall quality of the average.
Joe is nice and pleasant, despite a last minute changement of apartment we spent good vacation in London.
The apartment was clean ans spacious for 4 persons.
A bit far away from the underground (need to take the car) but calm and well furnished.
Joe is a very friendly and cordial. Gave us a lot of information to get around London. The neighborhood is quiet, the transportation is very good, has good access to the center. It only takes 30 minutes to get to London eye.
The apartment is very cozy, heated, large comfortable beds. All new and clean. We spent five great days in London. Clearly Lumphini.
Very nice to stay there in London,
the host was very kind and offered us his help for every second :)
so we were well received and
always again to Joe Rhys
The apartment is convenient for the Olympic facilities and the underground. The neighborhood is not that great but above all there are decent places to eat.
The apartment is clean, we say to improve the service sheets, towels.

Following his win in the Gold Medal game of the World Championships, Henrik Lundqvist said:
- What does winning mean, "so many things. Sitting in NY ten days ago, this is what I pictured myself, to be here with my brother, to hold this trophy. What a game, so exciting. It's been an amazing week, to be part of this team, this group, to spend time with my brother and then play exciting hockey, that is what I was looking for. It was very disappointing being in New York, the way we ended it. This really, makes me feel a lot better." (IIHF)
- What was going through your mind in the shootout, "stay calm." (IIHF)
- Is the trophy heavier than you thought, "yes. Not the medal, but the trophy is pretty heavy." (TSN)

It's a great group to be part of, I knew that coming here. To play for your country and to see the flag go up, it's just an amazing feeling. It was very disappointing end in New York the way we did but I recharged and wanted to play with my brother again and come here and experience this was awesome." (TSN)

While speaking about the defense on breakup day, Alain Vigneault said that the Rangers are "definitely" looking at bringing in another young defenseman next year.
Dan Girardi (33), Kevin Klein (32), Marc Staal (30), Nick Holden (30), Steven Kampfer (28), Ryan McDonagh (27) and Brady Skjei (23) are all under contract for next season.
The Rangers signed Alexei Bereglazov (23), Vince Pedrie (23) and Neal Pionk (21) this spring and had John Gilmour (24) and Ryan Graves (21) in Hartford this past season.
Brendan Smith (28) is a UFA and Adam Clendening (24) is an RFA.
While writing about the center position and potential moves this offseason, Larry Brooks writes that the Rangers could try and use Derek Stepan to land a top-pair right defenseman. (NY Post)
Moving Stepan would also allow the Rangers to give Oscar Lindberg a bigger role at center as well as protect him in the expansion draft. (NY Post)
Brooks notes that potentially moving Kevin Hayes, as opposed to Stepan, likely wouldn't bring "close to the yield" that the Rangers could get for Stepan. (NY Post)
He writes that Lindberg has been under-utilized so far in his time with the Rangers and that it would be a "shame" to lose him in the expansion draft because of limited ice time. (NY Post)
Tags: Derek Stepan, Kevin Hayes
6:22PM: Lundqvist reportedly made an "acrobatic save" in the final moments of the third period and had to receive treatment after the game.
Reports indicate that as of now Lundqvist should be able to play in the Gold Medal Game. (Expressen)

Criminal Justice
Welcome to Georgia Highlands College and the Division of Social Sciences and Business program of study in Criminal Justice, a part of the University System of Georgia.The criminal justice degree was one of the first degrees offered at Georgia Highlands College, then Floyd Junior College, in 1972. We offer an Associate of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with a broad liberal arts background based on an academic perspective. We are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, commonly referred to as SACS. At Georgia Highlands College, criminal justice is widely conceived to include not only the study of crime and society's reaction to crime but the areas of crime and justice that traditionally make up the disciplines of criminology and legal studies.
Our professors represent broad and diverse backgrounds in working with the criminal justice system, dealing with offenders, victims, and conducting research on a wide range of criminal justice issues.
Students and graduates of the program go on to traditional four-year colleges and universities to obtain baccalaureate degrees and work in law enforcement at local, state and federal agencies. In addition, they pursue careers in law enforcement, private security, loss prevention, probation and parole, corrections, and the practice of law, to name a few. Come join us and set the stage for your success as you engage and explore the many opportunities the field of criminal justice has to offer.

Southern Comfort Along the River Walk
Noble Inns • San Antonio, TX
Escape Kit

- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Queen Room at the Oge House, Fridays through Sundays ($324)
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Like a great piece of literature or art, San Antonio rewards those willing to take a closer look. Set aside time to admire the intricate carvings on the Alamo's walls, or depart on a morning river cruise before bustle fills the River Walk. But keep an eye on San Antonio's other draws, too—including historic missions, flavorful Tex-Mex, entertaining theater, and lively bars—to get a fair glimpse of a city where tradition and invention meet.
The Digs
Built in 1857, the Noble Inns's Oge House beckons guests to sweep away modern-day worries and linger in the charm of simpler times. With its towering windows, Louis XV walnut furniture, and sprawling views, your room makes it apparent why the Oge House is the only AAA Four Diamond Award-winning bed and breakfast in the city. Meander around the ground's sprawling gardens before venturing to the River Walk. As the sun goes down, the walkway glows with soft light from hanging lanterns.
The Diversions
• The River Walk
• The Alamo
• San Antonio Missions National Historic Park
• Market Square

Developer Blog: Prototyping and Playtesting Frozen Synapse
Posted on 21st Jul 2010 at 11:50 by Mode 7 with 2 comments
As lots of boring industry types will endlessly tell you, ideas are cheap. Actually, this is complete nonsense, but the point they're trying to make - that the hard work is in the execution - is correct. Even if you do have a strong idea, translating that into a viable game is extremely difficult.
During the development of Determinance, we struggled to get the core mechanics right, so every aspect of the design seemed in flux throughout development. This is a phenomenon that afflicts games of all sizes, and we were determined to overcome it this time around.

A relationship defined by being inherently undefineable. Nebulous in nature, this type of relationship teeters between the ambiguous and the incomprehensible. A classic symptom of this kind of relationship is the response ''I dont know'' when the question ''what's up with you two?'' is presented.
We hang out a lot, but we aren't dating. We're more than friends, but... we're not into titles anyway. We have such a Jes and Charlie relationship. I have a test, I gotta go.

At Makena Surf, on the southern edge of Maui's plush resort community of Wailea, travelers get a taste of this paradise, and with this Escape courtesy of Destination Resorts Hawaii, you'll get your chance to do the same.
Stay in 2012 and get a four-night stay for four guests in a two-bedroom Ocean View Condo ($2,000) or a two-bedroom Ocean Front Condo ($2,084).

On the full-day adventure tour of Haleakala, Central Maui, and the Iao Valley, you'll get up close to the dormant Mount Haleakala Crater, where you'll summit the mountain, stop at the visitors' center, and pay a visit to the overlook. Then it's off to Central Maui, where you'll discover the island's unique flora and fauna. The tour then heads to Wailuku, a bucolic town known for its sugar-cane fields, and Iao Valley State Park, featuring the iconic Iao Needle, a lush volcanic monolith that rises 1,200 feet from the valley floor.
Maui: the best island in the world? So say readers of Condé Nast Traveler—for the last 18 consecutive year. Indeed, this must be paradise.
"The secluded complex is designed to belie its size—from the road it's hard to tell that the units are actually three-story buildings. ... Privacy envelops the grounds—which makes the place a favorite with visiting celebrities."-- Read Fodor's Review of Makena Surf

Neither one of them had ANYTHING I wanted, no sewing machines, no fabric, no antique quilt tops ready for me to take home and quilt...What? A house with no sewing? Is that even possible? I guess so...I wonder how my kids will handle all my STUFF when I'm gone. I've already told them, my sister and my best friend should get first chance at all the sewing stuff. They'll know what they're looking at...not just a bunch of fabric, but POSSIBILITIES! (There was a dumpster at one of the houses. My 13 year old wouldn't let me look inside. She knows me too well.)

Why I'm Keeping the Name You Can't Pronounce

My Italian name (Davide) is impossible to pronounce for 95 per cent of the people I meet. The difference a single vowel can make is incredible, because I know that if you take away that "e", life would become a lot easier for me. But no one should have to feel as though they need to alter their name to fit in.

I received a package in the mail and I was expecting felting needles from an ETSY store. Imagine my surprise when a woman named Lynnie who lived in New York was on the return address label. I wondered if it was possible that our very own Lynnie had an Etsy store and I just happened to select her store to send me needles. What were the chances?
So I very excitedly ripped open the box and laughed at myself when I found the most beautiful PC and a slew of extras. Now I own a verified Lynnie PC concoction. It is so very perfect for me. Lynnie is a west coast gal and I am an east coast gal. Oceans are just a part of the lifestyle. (Hint, hint.) She also sent a Christmas ornament and a case, which I can use for rotary cutter, pencils or eyeglass case. And, Lynnie style, Hershey's Hugs.
Thank you so very much, Lynnie. This will be the jewel crown in my PC cushion. I'll just let everyone guess what my PC looks like for a little while. I will post a photo later on now that Melissa learned how to do it. We both have a little problem about remembering how to do things so we made her write all the steps out for us.
I'll also be able to post a photo of my first PC made in needle felting. I hope my SP likes it and doesn't mind getting someone's first try in a new technique. At least, a little bird told me it was in her favorite color combination.
Love to all,

Author and humorist Bill Bryson lived up to his reputation by delivering one comic anecdote after the next as he inaugurated the 2013-2014 season of Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series.
Thursday, October 03, 2013
He also fielded questions and read excerpts of his writings, including his most recent book, "One Summer: America, 1927," which was released just this week.Though he hasn't written about Boston, Bryson, who is a Des Moines, Iowa, native, lived in New Hampshire for eight years.
"Apart from many other joyous things, I became a Red Sox fan," he recalled of his time in New England, warming up the audience at the outset of his talk. He praised the beauty of Symphony Hall, then joked with the audience members in the balcony seated below statues in niches in the wall, that "occasionally those statues do topple forward."
Bryson noted his humble beginnings as an author, an inauspicious start that belied his future ability to draw a crowd in a venue like Symphony Hall. He said his first reading was at a Scranton, Pennsylvania Barnes & Noble, to which five people turned up, including the store manager, two friends of his parents, and another man named Bill Bryson.
"He came all the way from some distant place … so that the two of us could stand together and look at his driver's license and marvel at the fact we were both called Bill Bryson," he reminisced. "The fifth person (at the reading) was his wife, who didn't seem to want to spend the evening with anyone named Bill Bryson," he quipped, eliciting laughter from the audience.
Bryson went backpacking through Europe in 1973, after dropping out of college, and settled in England after he married. He started his writing career as a journalist, and has gone on to tackle a variety of subjects as an author, refusing to be constrained by genre or subject area.At the Speakers Series lecture, he recollected stories from throughout his life - from childhood to the present - with exquisite detail, self-deprecation and richness, such as his account of the way his mother tended to overcook food in the 1950s and sometimes left on the plastic wrap. "Eventually I realized Saran Wrap wasn't a kind of chewy glaze," he quipped.
His pursuit of stories sometimes led him into situations that ranged from uncomfortable to precarious. He recalled riding in a small airplane over the desert in northern Kenya while writing about the international humanitarian agency CARE's work there. On the return flight to Nairobi, the plane encountered a vicious storm with pelting rain that obscured the pilot's vision and made for a terrifying ride and white-knuckle landing.
"I had a sudden, overwhelming urge to drink my body weight in alcohol," Bryson recalled. Each time his work required him to travel in a small airplane, he had vowed he would never do it again. This time it stuck. "The only way I'll ever be killed by a light aircraft is if one falls on me.""One Summer: America, 1927," Bryson's latest book, chronicles the remarkable summer of 1927, which saw such events as Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic, Babe Ruth's record 60 home runs, and Sacco and Vanzetti's execution in Boston.
"The most amazing galaxy of events happened one after another," Bryson said before he read a small excerpt. "I have never really liked talking about the newest book. I just want people to read it and see what they think."
Following his talk, Bryson responded with continuing wit during a Q&A session, for which audience members submitted written questions during the lecture. The session was moderated by Phil Redo, managing director of WGBH-FM, Lesley's media partner for the Boston Speakers Series.
When asked how long it takes to make the audiobooks that are so enjoyable to listen to during a car trip, he razzed "That's kind of a strange question. You did the drive. You tell me."
He went on to explain it takes about eight days to record an audiobook and described sitting in a tiny booth, stock still, just reading and rereading.
"It's just murder. It's so hard," he said. "Your muscles are sore at the end of the day because you've been clenching them so firmly. It's like rigor mortis."
At the start of the lecture, Lesley University President Joseph B. Moore and Redo welcomed the audience and thanked the series subscribers and sponsors. For Lesley, the sold-out series is another form of educational engagement, President Moore said.
The next speaker in Lesley's Boston Speakers Series is George Papandreou, former Prime Minister of Greece, who will speak on Wednesday, October 16. To learn more about the series, click here.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
You've got to be kidding me.
So are the Giants cheering an injury?? Jerks.
Being a Cincinnati sports fan is such a continuous punch in the stomach
Speculation on the injury?

Hey guys, I cam across this very nice 1998 white Ford Mustang Cobra for sale and I could use your advice. Here is the description: 98 Mustang COBRA 1 Owner HEAD TURNER! See Details/Upgrades 21-28 MPG You wont find a nicer 98 Cobra for the price, hands down, now way, this car was owned by a very wealthy man since new and it was taken to the Ford Dealer for every little thing and it has been meticulously maintained with nothing but the best of parts and best of all it has not been ragged out, raced, or wrecked, EVER!!! This is the one that you always wanna find but never can find one this nice but here it is and it wont last long so dont miss out, this is a rare car and they are getting harder and harder to find. The car is in perfect shape and has had a few modifications to make it a little more fun to drive and perform better but nothing crazy and I still have all of the origonal parts to go with it. All after-market parts were installed professionally, within the last 6 months. The origonal owner was very picky about the car and i am too, there are no half-ass rigs or anyhing on this one, its perfect with the exception of a few tiny spots where the exterior paint had a few little chips but they have been touched up and it isnt even noticable and could be fixed to perfection for very little money. The car is a real SVT Cobra and has all power options and everyhting works as it should including a freezing cold a/c and the leather seats/interior are flawless, the inside is just as nice as a 2011 model car. This is the funnezt car ive ever had and it hadles, drives, stops, and accelerates like a Beast when you want it to but when youre driving normally its just like driving a Ford Taurus or something, just a lot cooler to look at and listen to those Flowmasters as you drive down the road! This thing looks, sounds, drives, handles, and stops like a dream, has new inspection sticker as well as the following new parts: 1. Spec Stage 2 Kevlar Clutch rated to over 500hp in case you want to mod the car later the clutch will hold up with no issues-its a very strong clutch. 2. STEEDA Front Sway Bar for Road Racing Applications- this eliminates any body roll and make the car handle like a race car! 3. The car has a brand new MGW Shifter- this is the best shifter money can buy, check it out @ www.mgwltd.com, much better than any Steeda, Pro 5.0, Hurst or B+M shifter, top quality all CNC aluminum construction with offset spring that automatically find 3rd gear for you so no missing 3rd gear ever! 4. Brand New Full Exhaust From Front to Back- High Flow Shorties to BBK H-PIPE and brand new Flowmaster Mufflers and Stainless Steel Tips 5. Brand New NITTO 555 Extreme Tires that handle great on dry and wet weather conditions 6. Car also has SCT Tuner (included) that has been professionally tuned for maximuim performance and driveability, can also be upgraded further if you want to further modify the car youll already have the tuner, just get a new file and save big $$$ 7. Car has Ford Racing 4.10 Gears Professionally installed and when they were installed every bearing and seal was replaced to the axle is all NEW! 8. The Brakes have been upgraded with HUGE Drilled/Slotted Rotors and EBC pads so it stops 10 times better than it did stock. 9. The Car Also has a K+N Cold Air Intake system which greatly increased performance and fuel economy. 10. Also it has MSD SUPER CONDUCTOR Ignition Wires 11. All Fluids were just changed so its ready to go- All Synthetic- Mobil 1 5W30 fully synthetic oil, Royal Purple Synchromax Transmission Fluid and Royal Purple Rear End Gear Oil with proper additives for the limited slip differential. The rear end locks in great just like a Detroit Locker or something when needed, and drive just as calm as a Cadillac under normal driving conditions. The car even drives good in the rain. 12. Ive got all of the documentation from Ford's SVT Special Vehicle Team cetifying that its a real 98 Cobra and the 4.6L DOHC 32 Valve V8 makes 350 Horsepower and has plenty of room to grow for more performance as this is the one people want to build since the stock block/crank are good for up to 1500HP when set up right and these cars have very high flowing heads as well, these engines alone sell for around $3500-$5000 all day long on ebay depending on what all comes with them and the year they came from- the 98 is the most sought after. All of the Aftermarket Parts cost over $4000 dollars and have less than 3000 miles on them, plust the book value of the car is $9300 so ill take a big loss and sell it for $7500, this is a real deal considering the condtion and the fact that its been so well taken care of and not raced and ragged out and beat to death. This is a great car thats loads of fun to drive, gets 21-28 MPG and you can hardly pry the smile off of your face while doing it. The Car has every factory option but the best one is the MACH 460 sound system- it sounds so great and has both CD and Casette players at your fingertips, the heat is hot and the a/c is cold. Dont miss out on this deal as it wont last long. You may find one cheaper but remember you get what you pay for, so do you want a hacked-up pieced together car or an all origonal car like this with the exception of a few tasteful upgrades to increase reliability, safety, and performance. Its all done right too, no corners cut and no expense spared. Email me and ill get it immediatley on my phone and respond. Gotta have $7500 cash but its worth every penny, i invite serious buyers to come see it and drive it and youll fall in love with it as I did, id keep it but medical issues force sale, i need an automatic transmission. By the Way this 5 speed shifts flawlessley and this car is like new and wont let you down. Lets make a deal today, email me your number and ill call you and we"ll go from there. Thanks for your interest!!! Oh yeah, i almost forgot the car has 117,000 miles and most are highway miles from the origonal owner, i just replaced the clutch and it still looked like new but the factory pressure plate was getting weak. I replaced it with a Spec Stage 2 Kevlar Clutch (has light pedal like stock) and also had the flywheel resurfaced to Factory Specs, and I also installed a Ford Racing Pilot Bearing, and Ford Racing Cluctch Release Bearing(throwout bearing) so it should be Bullet-Proof with normal driving and it wont hurt it a bit to drive it a little more aggressiveley as this clutch is made to take lots of abuse. I have been very easy on this car as the origonal owner had but I have stepped down on it a couple of time getting on a freeway ramp or in a straight-line and this car will FLY!!! and with the handling and brake/tire upgrades it all works together well and makes it a lot safer in a situation where you would be drving faster. I repeat: I have not been hard on this car and i have not powershifted it and done burnouts and stuff like that, it has plenty of power to do whatever you want but ive driven it responsibly as the origonal owner did because i Love the car so much id never want to hurt it or tear it up, its like new for a 98 and i have always wanted to keep it that way. Just come drive it, and i respond to emails fast so call me and we"ll set something up. Thanks again for looking!So, what do you guys think!? I may have to go check it out!
Is it a Cobra R? Either way, it looks good.
Gyro231995:Is it a Cobra R? Either way, it looks good.no cobra R this year, only the 1995 and 2000 were cobra R years for this body style.
------------------------Hi my name is Andres Castillo and performance is my business
What're basic things that I might should look for? How long can I expect this car to last if I take it easy and keep up with maintenance?
My only question is:If it is in good shape.If it has been taken care of.If it is modded "professionally".Why is he selling a car that books for $9300 for $7500? If all of the above are true. The only justification is that he just really needs the money, like yesterday.
True, good questions. I have asked them all. It was owned by an older guy who babied it, so he says, and he has only put 3,000 miles on it. He told me that it's his dream car but he recently had a motorcycle accident and can no longer work the clutch very well. If I check it out and really like it, I will get it fully looked over by a trusted mechanic of mine.
Alright, I offered him $6,500 if I decide to buy it. I am going to look at it and test drive the car tomorrow morning! The guy is an ASE certified master mechanic who planned on keeping it forever until his motorcycle injury. He bought the car for $8k and put about $2k into it. Really looking forward to checking this one out!!


text: I have seen that question asked several times over the years and not once have I ever seen a source. I know that there out there as there are companys making the recivers but i serously doupt that those companys are going to give up there work with a large amount of money. good luck if you do find a source Id be interested as would a lot of others.

By Marcius Extavour
After a busy day at the office last Monday, I settled in for a long night of poll-watching and punditry. As I scanned the Web for ballot results, comments and analysis about the U.S. mid-term election, I realized that, more than ever, I have a real professional stake in the results. Regardless of the exact political outcome, the nature of my job in energy policy with the United States Senate will certainly be affected.
I am only a few months into my term as an OSA/SPIE Guenther Congressional Science and Technology Fellow on Capitol Hill, but I have already learned a great deal about the nexus of science, technology, policy and politics. I am spending my fellowship year in the majority staff office of the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. This committee's main function is to write, review and research legislation within the broad scope of energy policy, minerals and natural resources, public lands and parks.
My day-to-day work includes writing memos; summarizing technical and policy issues for the Chairman and other committee members; planning and organizing committee hearings related to emergent issues or pending legislation; and meeting with subject matter experts from academia, industry, government, and other stakeholder groups to ask questions and hear public concerns.
I have learned a few valuable lessons the hard way, even on the first few weeks on the job. Mostly, it's been about shifting from the priorities of a laboratory scientist to the priorities of an active policy staffer. Here are a few lessons I've taken away from my experience so far.
Get to the point. Concision is a virtue; verbosity a vice. Many of my assignments consist of summarizing complex technical material or policy history for a Senator or their staff--in one page or in a few bullet points! There is a tremendous appetite for accuracy and detail, but little tolerance for expansive treatises, no matter how eloquent.
Deadlines matter. In my academic career, a deadline could be sacrificed in the name of accuracy, improved analysis or added nuance; the focus was on producing the best product, even if it was delivered a bit late. Around Capitol Hill, timing is everything, and late material quickly becomes irrelevant. Accuracy and speed are both prized and expected.
Networking is key. A network is a group of trusted colleagues who can be counted on to give good advice in a pinch. As a new Fellow, this has meant introducing myself and my skills broadly to colleagues, and then finding out how we can work together. Career-wise, it has meant approaching people whom I admire and respect, and asking them how they got to where they are. I've found that most people who are good at what they do and who enjoy their work love talking about it!
With the national campaigns over and done with, policy discussions will likely intensify as electoral politics and strategy retreat. I hope that developing new skills will serve me well as I work with colleagues to advance the conversation on issues related to science, technology and especially energy policy.

Here is the deal for concealed carry. Its about sacrifice. You sacrifice your wardrobe, your favorite restraurants, and your wallet.
A paddle holster allows you to remove your gun from the belt without unloading the gun. Considering the primary market for a paddle holster is law enforcement and that a lot of cops think of the gun as a tool and not as a hobby (no insult intended), its a bit safer than removing the gun from the holster.
Paddle holsters sacrifice concealment for convenience. By attaching a paddle to a holster instead of belt loops, the holster rides further from your waist than a pancake holster. Paddle holsters should not be worn without a belt.
Wear a gun belt. Always. If you have pants that dont allow for a belt dont wear them or wear a holster that doesnt require a belt (under wrap, waist pack, shoulder).
I believe that a holster is like a good pair of shoes. They are situational. You wear boots to hike, wing tips to church, and sneakers to run. Develop a wardrobe of holsters. Be armed always and always be armed.
I am biased. I like Galco. Take a look at the Concealed Carry Paddle, the Concealable, and the Side Snap Scabbard.
Welcome to the club.

"We don't really have a plan for the band. All we are concerned with at the moment is writing songs that we love and having some fun. If it takes off — great, and if it doesn't, no one is going to be upset.
"We aren't out to prove anything."
That was Mike Poorman, drummer for the Tower & the Fool early last year when he and I sat down over beers and discussed their promising 2010 debut EP, XIII. A highly-productive 18 months has yielded the T&F's fantastic full-length debut, How Long.
What started as a side project for vocalists/guitarists Alex Correia and Chris Rosenquest has blossomed into a full six-piece lineup. The new LP (out this week) is studded with melodic, radio-ready heartbreakers with indie-Americana leanings. We already have this one penciled in as an Album of the Year nom. Pick up a copy at this weekend's CD release show or hit up RunforCoverRecords.com for limited How Long combo packs including a deluxe vinyl version with a 120-page book of photos, lyrics, and extras.
Poorman and the guys were all smiles onstage at Fête a few weeks back as one of the headliners of the club's successful "State of the Union" series, pulling out stunning renditions of "Breach" and "Fade Away" (both on the EP and carried over on the new disc). Poorman is a genuine, ever-humble dude who has a real problem tooting his own horn, so it's all the more revealing when he proudly declares, "I think we are pretty fired up about all of these songs."
I asked if he had any favorites he's looking forward to pulling out.
"There's a handful of we have yet to unleash onstage, but I personally like playing 'Broken' and 'My Heart Is Dead In NYC,' " he said. "The lyrics always catch me in such a way that the songs never get old to me."
Buffalo Tom's Smitten immediately came to mind on the mellower "Valentine's Day" and the title track. Rosenquest's raspy delivery steals the show on "Breach," easing his way into the line, "Got a problem, she said/I don't believe in love anymore." Correia is "stumbling out of bars" and "chasing down Kerouac's American dream" on the ballad "Broken" and basks in melancholy on "Fade Away" with the plaintive line, "I won't let myself get over you." But it's the album opener "Dive Bar" that has me hooked. This one should be all over the radio by summertime.
The album was recorded at Poorman's Strangeways Studios, which he recently closed up ("I am still recording out of other studios and it's been fun for me again without having all of the stress about making my overhead every month and such," he said). He recalled a more unified recording process this time around.
"When we started writing the LP, Alex and Chris brought in songs like they did for the EP, but this time we workshopped them as a band and really critiqued every nuance of every song," Poorman said. He also credits the addition of bassist Bryan Donahue, who joined during the initial writing process for How Long: "Bryan changed the color and sound of the band," he noted. Lead guitarist Chris Capaldi and keyboardist Zac Clark round out the sextet (which was voted "Best Rhode Island Band" at the recent New England Music Awards).

[quote user="casvdry"][quote user="fourth&forever"][quote user="casvdry"]Thanks to ntegrase for helping me get my account back and the Administrators here at nygiants forums . I couldn't log in all season because I lost my password and my account wasn't tied to an email address, but now I'm back again.
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming game but I have a lot of doubts about our ability to win it, unfortunately. An injured Romo, inconsistent OL, prime time game, your home turf.. The odds seem stacked against us.
Prime time and playing in Meadowlands should tilt the odds in your favor, no?
This should be a vicious game. The loser will have his head mounted on a pike. Love it. And there no other team I'd rather play in this situation. Everything on the line against the despised Cowboys. I seethe with venom.
I do however respect a fan such as you or "ntegrase the chimp" coming to talk rationally. Welcome back.
I hope its a great game and may the better team win.[/quote]
Nah, no way. I think we haven't won a Sunday night prime time game all year. Plus, it's at your house and you guys have your backs to the wall, too. This is the kind of game the Cowboys would typically lose.
Welcome back dude. Missed going back and forth with u prior and after giants and cowboys games. However ntegrase has taken up the slack for u just fine.lol

Meet Bailee Madison, who appears in Wizards of Waverly Place, the hit show on the Disney Channel. Bailee plays Maxine, an active, outgoing, fun, 10-year-old wizard. In fact, the actor is very much like Maxine. They are both energetic and happy.
Bailee, 11, is already an experienced actor who has appeared on TV shows, commercials, and in several movies, including Bridge to Terabithia and Letters To God. TFK recently talked to Bailee on the set of Waverly Place and got the inside scoop on its newest star, what she does for fun and what spell she would cast if she could.
What made you want to start acting?
My mom and my sister used to do commercials, so when I was a little baby I did commercials with them. Eventually I ended up here Waverly Place. I am very, very blessed and very happy where I am.
What do you do on an average day of filming Wizards of Waverly Place?
I do at least four hours a day of school tutoring with my teacher on the set, Eva. She's so great and we have so much fun. She makes sure I get all of my schoolwork done. Then we have lunch. After that, I rehearse with the cast a lot. On Friday, we prepare for filming before live audiences, which is great.
How do you switch from being Bailee to being your character Maxine?
Once you get to know the character it becomes a little bit easier. You learn each and every thing about her that's different from you. Everyone helps you on the set. The entire Wizards cast and crew are amazing. They were so welcoming and I've had a great time.
Do you do anything to focus yourself so you are ready to act?
I don't, actually. It's weird. I think everybody just kind of gets in the mood. There's music and you just kind of get in there. The cast and crew have known each other for four seasons now. Everybody is just like family. When you see them, there are hugs going around the set. It's so great. It's like you're at home.
Have you learned any lessons from doing the TV show?
You have to make sure everybody gets their laugh in before you cut them off and do your line.
Any life lessons?
Always keep your chin high and just know that you can do anything; that you can succeed. You have to put your mind to what you want to do and keep going.
Is there a spell on the show that you would like to cast in real life?
I really like the duplicate spell, when Alex had to duplicate herself to go to that crazy 10-minute sale. It would be fascinating to see what would happen.
What's the hardest thing about working with adults? Do you ever feel like you're an adult too?
I think acting matures you a bit, but I always have that "kidism" too. Even the adults are sometimes kids. Everybody is fun and outgoing and great and so energetic. The set just lights up when everybody comes on it.
Do you get to do any fun stuff with the cast or crew when you are not filming?
We went bowling. During breaks on set, we all do fun stuff like arts and crafts and soap making.
Soap making? Can you tell me a little about that.
On "Fun Friday," if we get a lot of schoolwork done, my teacher and I do fun projects. Last time was soap making and the week before we did science experiments.
Do you ever pull pranks on the cast and crew?
Oh my goodness! Actually I did pull a prank. It was during Halloween. Eva got this big [fake] rat and we hid it all over the set and we'd hear people screaming! But we can't find it now, so we're like, "Is the rat going to pop out on us or will the crew try and get back at us?" That was the first prank I've ever pulled and it was a good one!
What do you like to do when you are not on the set or doing schoolwork?
I love art, I love to draw, I love hanging out with my friends, going to the park, riding bikes and playing with my puppy who I adore. I love the outdoors. It's fun to be surrounded by friends and family.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I have a passion for acting. I have a great time doing it. I can't picture myself doing anything else. But I love to sing, I love to dance, I love art a lot. I don't know, maybe I could multitask.

Re: SANS Work-Study experience
Regarding complimentary cert - if you have friends or relatives in Orlando you can stay with them and still get the complimentary cert.
That's the only suggestion I can provide, otherwise the decision is obviously yours. $3500 is a lot of money, but it would be another $4K on top of that for a regular attendee experience.


text: Once a woman reaches her stage for her delivery period, generally they want to leave their house and run off to the hospital immediately. It is important that they should prepare the day of their delivery but most pregnant women forget as they do not focus on the situation. Preparations are either in both terms as what you should carry and what you must do in the hospital. If you don't prepare you might forget some important items unintentionally. That is why preparation is very important aspect.

I experimented with liquid smoke this past month in our more aggressive hive (it is now very docile due to more boxes added). It didn't seem to calm them or send them back into the boxes, in fact I prefer the sugar syrup.
HOWEVER, we noticed a huge amount of black, skinny, icky looking bees and were told we had "black, hairless virus". We have no other signs of illness, mites, etc. Well, today the 2nd hive was a little hyper so we used the liquid smoke. All of a sudden we noticed more of these "sick" bees. We did an experiment with a frame of healthy bees and sprayed them with the liquid smoke and they instantly became "sick" bees. This is after we squished about 20 of the poor things.
Anyone else have any experience like that? No more liquid smoke for us. The weird thing is that the bees kept this appearance long enough for us to take to our local bee supply store (where they were diagnosed). Now we are unsure whether we really have sickness or not. These bees are able to fly and don't hold their wings oddly.

Gaining control IS an instantaneous moment in time. Control is gained the moment you have the ball in your hand or hands without it moving around or wiggling. Control can be gained on a weakly grasped one handed finger catch away from the body just as much as it can on a strong 2-handed near the body. There are no degrees of control. You cannot have "more control" than another player.
I hope this is helpful.
If the Giants get screwed like this I will laugh my butt off. I can see the Eagles beating you guys sunday night.
We are morphing into total powerhouse, so the Eagles are not a huge concern, to be honest. We'll be seeing you guys on 11/25 in the Meadowlands.
I do not think you will be laughing too much afterwards. We'll see.......you guys appear to have severe Oline problems
What happened in the 2011 playoffs.....did you guys "beat yourselves" LOL

My daughter is doing research in upstate NY on pollination with various pollinators. As part of the work, she purchased and placed 40 bumble bee houses in the fields. Now, she needs to remove
those and dispose of them but isn't quite sure what to do with them. How many bees would be in them this time of year? Any suggestions on what to do with them?

Every so often, someone (generally not a practicing scientist) suggests that it's time to replace science with something better. The desire often seems to be a product of either an exaggerated sense of the potential of new approaches, or a lack of understanding of what's actually going on in the world of science. This week's version, which comes courtesy of Chris Anderson, the Editor-in-Chief of Wired, manages to combine both of these features in suggesting that the advent of a cloud of scientific data may free us from the need to use the standard scientific method.
It's easy to see what has Anderson enthused. Modern scientific data sets are increasingly large, comprehensive, and electronic. Things like genome sequences tell us all there is to know about the DNA present in an organism's cells, while DNA chip experiments can determine every gene that's expressed by that cell. That data's also publicly available—out in the cloud, in the current parlance—and it's being mined successfully. That mining extends beyond traditional biological data, too, as projects like WikiProteins are also drawing on text-mining of the electronic scientific literature to suggest connections among biological activities.
There is a lot to like about these trends, and little reason not to be enthused about them. They hold the potential to suggest new avenues of research that scientists wouldn't have identified based on their own analysis of the data. But Anderson appears to take the position that the new research part of the equation has become superfluous; simply having a good algorithm that recognizes the correlation is enough.
The source of this flight of fancy was apparently a quote by Google's research director, who repurposed a cliché that most scientists are aware of: "All models are wrong, and increasingly you can succeed without them." And Google clearly has. It doesn't need to develop a theory as to why a given pattern of links can serve as an indication of valuable information; all it needs to know is that an algorithm that recognizes specific link patterns satisfies its users. Anderson's argument distills down to the suggestion that science can operate on the same level—mechanisms, models, and theories are all dispensable as long as something can pick the correlations out of masses of data.
I can't possibly imagine how he comes to that conclusion. Correlations are a way of catching a scientist's attention, but the models and mechanisms that explain them are how we make the predictions that not only advance science, but generate practical applications. One only needs to look at a promising field that lacks a strong theoretical foundation—high-temperature superconductivity springs to mind—to see how badly the lack of a theory can impact progress. Put in more practical terms, would Anderson be willing to help test a drug that was based on a poorly understood correlation pulled out of a datamine? These days, we like our drugs to have known targets and mechanisms of action and, to get there, we need standard science.
Anderson does provide two examples that he feels support his position, but they actually appear to undercut it. He notes that we know quantum mechanics is wrong on some level, but have been unable to craft a replacement theory after decades of work. But he neglects to mention two key things: without the testable predictions made by the theory, we'll never be able to tell how precisely it is wrong and, in those decades where we've failed to find a replacement, the predictions of quantum mechanics have been used to create the modern electronics industry, with the data cloud being a consequence of that.
If anything, his second example is worse. We can now perform large-scale genetic surveys of the life present in remote environments, such as the far reaches of the Pacific. Doing so has informed us that there's a lot of unexplored biodiversity on the bacterial level; fragments of sequence hint at organisms we've never encountered under a microscope. But as Anderson himself notes, the only thing we can do is make a few guesses as to the properties of the organisms based on who their relatives are, an activity that actually requires a working scientific theory, namely evolution. To do more than that, we need to deploy models of metabolism and ecology against the bacteria themselves.
Overall, the foundation of the argument for a replacement for science is correct: the data cloud is changing science, and leaving us in many cases with a Google-level understanding of the connections between things. Where Anderson stumbles is in his conclusions about what this means for science. The fact is that we couldn't have even reached this Google-level understanding without the models and mechanisms that he suggests are doomed to irrelevance. But, more importantly, nobody, including Anderson himself if he had thought about it, should be happy with stopping at this level of understanding of the natural world.

For Federated Farmers, 2012 was another progressive year. We made good progress on many policy issues and experienced continued membership growth.
Now we are entering the "middle" year of the electoral cycle and 2013 is shaping up as another extremely busy year, but the Federation is in good shape to continue our contribution.
Prime Minister John Key kicked off the year with a significant Cabinet reshuffle. David Carter has taken up the most powerful position in parliament - the Speaker of the House. This sees Nathan Guy become Primary Industries Minister and Jo Goodhew as his Associate. While I am sure both will do a good job, it is important to note Carter's constructive contribution in his time as Minister.
The passing of the ETS Amendment Bill last year saw biological emissions removed as an automatic inclusion in the scheme. This is sensible. While the policy framework around water is still being worked through, Carter was a very strong promoter of water storage. Obtaining $35 million for the irrigation acceleration fund and the recent announcement of $80m for water storage is testament of Carter's tenacity around the cabinet table.
The Primary Growth Partnership, another Carter initiative, has seen over half a billion dollars invested in agricultural research. As well as progressing animal welfare reform, Carter herded the wool industry, saw the development of the Red Meat Strategy and changes to raw milk regulations and Fonterra's Trading Among Farmers. His changes to high country land tenure brought back certainty and fairness.
As Minister of Local Government, Carter saw the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill through Parliament, extended the Environment Canterbury Commissioners and sought changes to cost benefit analysis processes under the Resource Management Act.
His Ministry for Primary Industries underwent significant change, becoming a "Super Ministry" under his watch.
It is true we haven't always agreed on everything, but overall Carter can be pretty satisfied with his contribution. We wish him well.

We are meeting every 3rd Tuesday of the month. We had our first meeting on July 17th and had 42 people show up, including a lot of new and wannabe beekeepers. We started this club basically because Bedford is nearly 2 to 2 1/2 hours away from the nearest association.
We do not have leaders or any elected positions, and we have no dues. Our goal is to learn more about bees and beekeeping, and also to get new people involved.
Our next meeting will be on August 21st, and then on the 25th we will be having a field day to one of my bee yards, hopefully to teach the beginners more, but I'm sure even the more advanced will enjoy it too.
We are meeting at TNT Computers in Bedford, Indiana. The address is 1217 R Street. Bedford IN 47421. We have a temporary work-in-progress website with the same info at http://www.bedfordbeekeepers.com/. If you have facebook we are http://www.facebook.com/BedfordBeekeepers
If I have left anything out or if you have any questions, let me know!

How big is your baby?
Talking about the size of the developing baby, most doctors will discuss it in terms of 'Crown to rump'. 'Crown -to -rump' is the length between the top of the baby's head to his buttocks. As the legs of the baby are tucked inwards, 'crown to heel' length is difficult to determine.The embryo is about 3 to 5mm in length.

After some research it seems to me the factory typhoons have beefier internals, a Chevy Astro L35 intake, a 80-90s Corvette throttle body, and of course a Turbo/inter cooler. Now, I need help from all yu "SyTy" owners and fanatics out there to lemme know everything I'm missing as far as parts, and where to get wiring harnesses/ECU's, and to tell me in general if this is even possible. **PLEASE NO FIGHTING AMONGST POSTERS HERE I NEED EVERYONE'S OPINION AND INFORMATION HERE SO THERE IS NO WRONG ANSWERS. THANKS**

With all the injuries that occurred to this team this year, especially hamstrings, I'd be looking to replace the strength and conditioning coach as well as a few other coaches on staff. There have been too many hamstring injuries, too many sprains, etc. That to mean seems to be a fitness issue. Possibly not enough stretching exercises or workouts. Look at our secondary.....Prince has been out more than he's been in and collects a paycheck for sitting on his butt doing what he's paid to do. Now Canty is questionable for Sundays game and you could add Hoseley to that bunch to. What the hell is going on with this team? Do we have mammy pansies on the team? I thought that when Coughlin came to this team he was going to shake them up and get them to play football. Sure you're going to have some knicks and scrapes but that shouldn't prevent you from going to work and get paid for what you do best and that's to play football! Remember when Lawrence Taylor played with a dislocated shoulder, he had that strap his shoulder in a harnest and went back in and kicked ***.Today's players are soft.....things aren't like they were 20 years ago. This game is getting too soft and the players are turning out to be a bunch of *******.
It's getting to the point that they will be putting players on injured reserve because of a hang nail !!!!
