Portmeanteau of 'elite' and 'retard'. A person who takes an unusual amount of pride in being stupid. Kind of like a classhole, except an elitard is not limited to physical assholishness. The elitard takes special pride in his or her wordy, snide, commentary along with their classholish shenanigans. Occasional elitardedness on the level of class clown is welcome, although, when persistent and out of control, is usually frowned upon and will lead to you getting your ass kicked by everyone you talk to.

Direct Trade Coffee in Peru – Days 1 and 2
Day one in Peru was mostly spent getting to our final destination. After yet another 5:30 am wake up call, Paul and I hit the road back to the airport and boarded our flight to Piura. In the airport, our choices for coffee were Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. I'll leave it a surprise where we went. This was followed by the swift realization that in my sleepy haze I had left my ATM card in the machine after taking my money and receipt (and also lost my awesome traveler points). No luck in recovering, it had already been eaten up. Now the fun game begins of try Read more »

Reviews of this property
It is a very modern apartment, 10min walking to the metro station, the line U6 is the most used to go to city centre, just 4 stops away. It is a small one but enought. The only wrong is that is a bit cold and at 6am when sun is shining all light comes through. Otherwise I had a great time and the apartment was so comfortable.
It has been a positive experience.
The neighborhood is so interesting and well communicated by subway.
The flat is clean and is very nice. It´s very small, the bedroom is loft over the room and bathroom, but you really have everything that you need for living there for a few days.
The owner is charming and he offers to help you in all you need.
We recommend this place.
Kay was great and greeted us on the day with the keys. The apartment is in a good location close to restaurants and all the highlights you want to see. Would stay here again!
The appartement was fine, host was nice and on time.
The location is close to subways (10 min walk), and peaceful.
Nice pubs/restaurants in vicinity, which are not expensive.
Berlin has lot of power and life. It is hard to imagine what will be there in 10 - 20 years, now we have seen more than 40 tower cranes in city center... Old things are nice, we can be proud or ashamed because of the history, but our responsibility is the future, and they build the future.
Clean, and Well looked after, Easy acess to s bahnn (overground City train) and glose to the center of BERLIN.
Only thing to be Award of is that the kitchen is What we in Denmark Call a "tea kitchen" there is no stove, One "hot plate" and a Sink, the fridge is equalant to a cooling box... But it Were more than enough for our needs...
The Host is friendly, and service minded. We Would love to come back.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

It looks like the country of origin is not required if a USDA grade is not printed on the label...
" Under this rule, any honey that has an official U.S. grade mark must include in its label the country of origin in letters at least the same size and in close proximity to the grade mark. For example, if foreign or domestic honey were labeled U.S. Grade A, then it would have to identify its country or countries of origin. Conversely, if the honey is not officially grade labeled, the country of origin labeling is not necessary whether the honey is domestic or foreign."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
spose I will be able to tell, if the peppering gets any worse when they are in my tank then it might have something to do with it. just have to keep up with everything and hopefully they will be alright have spent ages reading up about them do you remineralize or do you cut with tap water. my water here is very hard so RO is a must i guess. I have read about some people slowing acclimatising them over a long period of time putting less and less RO in and more tap to condition them to the water we have here. some people in my area have been breeding them in our local water so i guess the ones born in our tap water would be tolerant of our water?
you have probably answered this above but i think i might have missed it
|I'm pretty sure that that background does not have so much to do with it as the hardness in the water does. I used to have white rocks (white clown puke as some would call it), the discus were very skittish and hid most of the time. I read online that they are from dark waters in the amazon and that the bright sand is very hard on their eyes. As soon as I made the change to black sand, within minutes they changed 180 degrees and were as friendly as the cats I have. Also, I've witnessed them as vibrant as others and as black as others too. I've found that how they feel is how they look. After a water change they are as bright as ever or right when I wake up and they are hungry. When the water is old and needs a change or when they are angry and fighting, or right when they fall asleep, they are much darker in general. But the peppering was there when I had bright white and blue background and substrate and it stayed when I made the change to black for both.
im just about to get 5 discus from someone i know thats shutting their tank down and they have the same peppering on the face that until reading through this i hadn't seen before
my tank also has black sand and a black 3d background but the tank they are coming from has white sand and a darkish background but not black
did you ever find out if the peppering was caused by the dark environment? i don't think it would bother me anyway cos they are so colourful but they do have the peppering in a tank with white sand? maybe its not just the environment that does it i have read something about genes?
i may have missed it reading through this thread seeing as its full of so much information looks good though!

|Great looking tank, always wanted to have discus. Maybe next year will actually try. Having the same problem with the same looking algae now so a free bump.
Week 33!
So it has been a really long time since an update. I'm kinda embarrassed of how the tank has been looking the last 10 weeks or longer and that's why I haven't done an update. Some algae started to grow (should have crossed my fingers sooner) and since then things in the tank have been on the decline. I'm not sure what type of algae it is or how to get rid of it and was kinda just hoping it would go away on its own... dumb. So now I'm asking for help and looking around to what it may be. I didn't start dosing ever and I have no clue what caused it because Im pretty sure nothing changed when it first arose. No fish have died (thank God) so I wasn't too worried for a while, but now my plants are starting to be killed off as you can see from the pictures. (Green foxtail is all gone, along with most of the hair grass and all of the red plant-can't remember its name right now) My swords just recently (2 weeks ago) sprouted offspring and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I've ripped some off and replanted and still have a bunch (20+) just floating around on the stem.
I also think my bristle nose plecos have been eating my sword plants and that is why they seem so small. It also could be the small snails, but I pretty much wiped out there whole colony and the plants haven't changed with holes and such.
My fish on the bright side are doing great! The one pigeon blood has grown to about the size of the other 4 (which isn't saying much since I stunted all of their growth due to prolonged captivity in a 29 gallon tank). The other pigeon blood was a runt of the group and I knew he would fit in with my other discus and couldn't pass him up to be left for dead. He has grown a little but is still small compared to the others although they have accepted him into their pack.
I was saddened to find out that my LFS (local fish store) went out of business in the area 3 months ago (had been buying my blood worms and beef heart from petsmart...) and just found out this week. Now Im left with just petsmart or a terrible local pet store that has half-filled infected fish tanks rampant and the overwhelming smell of ammonia that punches you in the face when you walk in the door, making it difficult to breath. Being a college athlete, I think that is kind of a big deal. Anyway, onto the pictures!
Please be nice about the comments, I know how bad it looks and am trying to figure out what to do to get rid of the algae and get my plants on the upside of growing again. I have been doing my weekly water changes for the past 3 months so it isn't as bad as it really looks, I hope.....

Love the pics of your cat. We have a miniture Schnouser and she will sit and watch the bristlenose too. What's funny is when she tries to bite it. The bristlenose will stay on the front of the glass and just wiggle a little bit. It's like it's teasing her.
The feeding isn't a problem at all. When they are young they can go for about 2 weeks without food and at the adult age they can go for 2 to 4 months with out a meal, though I don't recomend it. I am gone most weekends too in the spring and summer and they are completely fine when I return. The biggest part is making sure you are up on your water changes if you are going to leave for a week or something like that. I usually do one right before I go just to be on the safe side. The more plants in the tank, the more problems can arise if you dose things, but also the longer the tank can go without a water change if need be. Right now I'm battling algea but the fish don't seem to mind one bit.
my tank still turns a tea color 8 months later and I'm not sure if that is because of the wood or dirt in the bottom of the tank, maybe both. good luck if you decide to jump in. There is a guy named Paul or discus Paul who gives good advice on discus and such. Learned some key things from him.

Going to subscribe as I'm interested in how your tank works out, I'm doing a dirted tank as well all the plants are in still stocking the tank at this point.
Thanks! It has been a while since I looked at this but I have been keeping up on my water changes. Problems arose with algea but I'm seeking help on fixing that now. The good thing is that no fish have died, just a lot of plant...

I can't find a premise canopy for less than 400$, and I live in an apartment so I can't build one.
My canopy came with the tank when I got it from a guy off of craigslist. It is actually plastic and super light. He said he paid 150$ from some online store but had to build it himself, which consisted of glueing 5 supports on the inside together to hold it up... good luck!
even though it is palstic, it looks perfect up there and doesn't look cheap in person or in the pictures at all.

Beautiful tank and discus! Love the way the cats appear in the photo narrative (and what an interesting hedge hog)
Very interested in the dirt-layer in the substrate...I'm going to subscribe
|Great tank! What beautiful fish!
|Beautiful tank!
Wow beautiful setup and love the journey pics to see where you came from to where it has emerged to. The cats and hedgehog were good mix to throw in
Stinks to lose a fish or several, especially when you have them as little ones. But I'm sure your new colony will last for years to come. Once again, great job! and keep up the hard work

Colin Camerer:
When you're making a deal, what's going on in your brain?
When two people are trying to make a deal — whether they're competing or cooperating — what's really going on inside their brains? Behavioral economist Colin Camerer shows research that reveals how badly we predict what others are thinking. Bonus: He presents an unexpected study that shows chimpanzees might just be better at it.

Sacramento Area Beekeepers Association
Beginning Beekeeping Classes
Saturday Jan. 12, 2013 Beginning Natural Beekeeping Serge Labesque
Saturday Feb. 16, 2013 Beginning Beekeeping Randy Oliver
Sunday March 17, 2013 Intermediate Natural Beekeeping Serge Labesque
Sunday April 14, 2013 Intermediate Natural Beekeeping Serge Labesque
Who should take these classes: The beginning class course content is designed for those wanting to explore beekeeping; it does not require any experience. Attending will be very worthwhile, even if you have taken other classes or have had bees for some time. Beekeeping is changing due both to the threats to bees and to new research, so there is much new information. Serge and Randy are both very experienced beekeepers and excellent instructors. Randy is a commercial beekeeper, author and researcher he uses conventional methods, treating his bees with natural compounds in the management of his bees. Serge teaches beekeeping at Sonoma Community College. He has authored many published articles and uses innovative methods to manage his hives.
We recommend that you consider taking one class from each instructor. While there will be some redundancy, you will be exposed to a range of methods you can then choose how you desire to manage your bees. We also recommend that you take one of the classes before you get bees and a repeat class after you get bees. The presentation will have new meaning for you and you will find you have new questions to ask!
COURSE INFORMATION AND FEE: The course fee is $45.00, SABA member fee $35.00. Classes will begin at 8:30 am and end at approximately 4:30 pm. Classes will start on time so registration begins at 7:30 am. Classes are held at the Sacramento County Dept. of Agricultural building, 4145 Branch Center Road, Sacramento, CA.
COURSE COORINATORS: Nathan Amboy, email firstname.lastname@example.com
TO REGISTER FOR THE CLASS: Complete the registration form below and mail with payment to SABA at PO Box 1329, North Highlands, CA 95660 no later than the Monday before the class. (Or you may sign up at Sacramento Beekeeping Supplies, 2110 X Street, Sacramento, CA.) You will receive a confirmation by email or telephone. Late registration will require approval of one of the course coordinators. SABA: web site, sacbeekeepers.org email, firstname.lastname@example.com

With our farmers market stall we get the opportunity to meet face to face with a wide range of customers.
Have been asked a few times to come talk to the kids, present something for a church group on bee keeping - that kind of thing.
Just wondering if many bee keepers do this, and would like some advice on what to do, and what not to do.
Am very interested on what you guys have to say about this.
I am thinking, Observation hive is a good idea.
For small kids, say 6-11 years old, would want to keep talking to 15 minutes maximum?
Everyone wants a sample, or a taste dont they?? So a frame of capped honey that people can touch and eat a good idea?
Would you take a smoker, or bee suit?
Is it rude to take honey / candles etc for sale afterwards?
what do you normally talk about, or what does your speech consist of? I would like to take the approach that honey doesnt just 'come from the supermarket' and that there are local bee farmers etc that sell unprocessed honey that is good for you etc - not sure if that kind of info is the wrong message?
What is the worst thing that can go wrong?

It's amazing what you can find on the web if you look hard enough or you are board enough at work.
Found this publication on Value added products from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy. 1996.
It has a bunch of recipes with photos of the dishes obviously prepared by chefs. Perhaps I BETTER NOT take some of these dishes to our December state bee meeting.
8.10.10 Popmoth
Heat some cooking oil and drop fresh (live) or frozen wax moth larvae into the hot oil. Their skin will break and the proteins will expand, making them look like popcorn. Remove them before they become too dark, let the oil drip off them and salt or flavour them with other spice mixtures similar to popcorn, potato or banana chips. They might also taste good with honey, or quickly turned in the candy mix described below.
This product should be packaged attractively in clear plastic bags for sale in markets or stores. Once fried like this, it may be stored for some time without spoiling.
8.10.11 Bee sweets and chocolate coated bees
The following recipes can be easily adapted to accommodate various, similar ingredients and provide honey-based sweets, with or without bee and insect larvae. They are easily made in any pastry shop or home kitchen and preserve well for sale in markets and shops. Powdered pollen pellets can also be added. Neatly packaged, they provide an attractive and very nutritious snack.
¼ cup Butter
2/3 cup Brown sugar
¾ cup Dark honey
1 cup Cleaned bees (adults or larvae) or other insects
Mix the butter, sugar and honey. Beat until smooth, then stir in the insects. Place in a baking dish in the oven at 1900C for approximately 30 minutes. After cooling, break or cut into pieces. (See also candy recipes in Chapter 2.)
The butter can be replaced with another cooking oil; for an agreeable flavour try coconut, peanut or sunflower oil. Dark sugar gives a nicely coloured end product and is a little healthier than white sugar, but the latter can be used instead. With a little practice, the candy can also be made in a covered frying-pan over a low fire. Be careftil not to burn the sugar.
Garlic butter fried bees
¼ cup Butter or cooking oil
6 cloves Garlic
1 cup Cleaned bees (larvae)
Heat the oil or butter over low heat in a frying-pan or pot. Slowly fry the garlic so that in about 5 minutes it is slightly brown. Add the insects and continue frying at the same temperature for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not overheat or the garlic will burn.

As the choreographer, he requested for the first time to Lori Nichol who takes care of Mao Asada, too. As for the short program (SP), he used "The Sonatina for The Violin" composed by Mamoru Samuragochi who is the 2nd generation bombing which comes from Hiroshima-city and isn't able to hear both ears and Kenji Miyamoto choreographed it as same as the time of Vancouver Olympics where he was brilliant to the bronze medal. As for the free program which have joined to five famous music, such as "Yesterday", 27 years old Takahashi expects that it becomes "the excellent one". As for SP, he expressed as "the music which it feels the hope". He said, "Because it is the season which may become to the final season for me, I would like not to have regrets of. And I would like to repay by the program, with the gratitude to the person who is cheering me". In this season when begins in earnest in October, the intense conflict for representative with the young generations, such as 18 years old Yuzuru Hanyu, awaits. He told the determination, saying, "The composition of the jumps, such as the quad jump is same as in last season. I would like to overcome everybody there because the Olympics is the excellent stage". The article: Daisuke Takahashi expresses "the love" by Beatles. http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/f-sp-tp0-20130711-1155685.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6_E04Y5e84g Takahashi cheered Miki Ando who gave childbirth to a girl in April, saying, "It is a wonderful affair that the life is born. I think that she grows aiming at the Olympics as the skater and as the mother and show us the view of the world of Miki Ando".

Prevention tips: Reducing risk of auto theft
By Geoffrey Merritt
Officer, UTSA Police Department
(Aug. 31, 2006)--Four recent motor vehicle thefts were reported to the UTSA Police Department. The thefts occurred near the University Oaks Apartments and the 1604 Campus south parking lots. The stolen vehicles include a 2000 Honda Civic, a 1997 Acura Integra, a 1998 Acura Integra and a 2002 Ford F-350 truck.
If you observe suspicious activity and suspect someone is committing a crime, such as tampering with a car or looking into cars, immediately call UTSA Police at (210) 458-4911. An officer will be dispatched to the location to determine if a crime is being committed. Keep in mind that it is important to provide as much detail as possible including a description of suspects.

Your vehicle is one of the largest investments you make. New vehicles are not the only target for car thieves. Older model vehicles also are very desirable for their parts.
No vehicle or anti-theft device is 100 percent theft-proof and discouraging thieves is not an easy task. But, the more difficult your car is to steal, the longer it takes to be stolen.
Here are some tips from the Texas Automobile Theft Prevention Authority that can help reduce the risk of car theft:
- Take your keys. Nearly 20 percent of vehicles stolen had the keys in them.
- Lock your car. Approximately half of vehicles stolen were left unlocked.
- Never hide a second set of keys in your car. Extra keys can be found easily if a thief takes time to look.
- Park in well-lighted areas. More than half of vehicle thefts occur at night.
- Ignition kill switch and fuel kill switch. These are devices that prevent the ignition from being turned on or that closes the flow of fuel unless a switch is turned on by the driver.
- Auto Alarms. Loud noises can scare off potential thieves, especially juvenile "joy-riders."
- A steering wheel lock helps prevent car theft.
If you have any information about the recent motor vehicle thefts, call Sgt. Robert Hudson, UTSA Police Department, at (210) 458-4242. You can make yourself and your property a tougher target against crime.
For more information, call the Crime Prevention Unit of the UTSA Police Department at (210) 877-4006.

I can see so much amazingly better and can now utilize my passenger side to parallel park and see my right rear tire and how close it gets to the curb, I am in love with these things, but obviously i would be 100% satisfied were it not for this flaw... I do plan on doing the tow mirror leveling mod to just for aesthetics purposes and I will post whenever I do it. cheers!

If it was my M76 I'd spend a little more money on a premium barrel (Shilen, Pacnor, etc...). If absolute accuracy is your goal with all the work involved don't cut corners as I doubt the GM 8mm barrel fill satisfy. Will say the GM 500 S&W barrel I use provides good MOP accuracy (minute of pig). I built it with 100yd accuracy in mind and my only kill opportunity was a 130yds on a 40LB Javelina.

Personal Information
Personal Bio
Well, all I can say is that I am myself, really! Most people who know me say I'm easy to get on with. As you might have guessed I am a geek, I love anime/manga, video games and the like. I'm also REALLY into my martial arts which I have been doing for years and am hoping someday to make a career out of it, but that's my long term goal. But me as a person, I'm a pretty simple person when it comes down to it, I like to joke around, I'm pretty spontaneous and I've been told I'm caring. Which is encouraging, the last few years of my life have been hell, but I'm over the worst of it and I'm heading in the right direction. I'm always happy to chat to random people, or to take people's suggestions for new animes/films/music etc.
So that's me in a nutshell. Of course, if ya wanna get to know the real me, then you'll just have to do that the old fashioned way. XD
The only thing I can't stand is ARROGANT people, or people who moan all-the-freaking-time.
Cosplay Bio
I haven't been cosplaying very long. (Especially compared to some people.) But I sure as hell am enjoying it! It was actually my brother who got me into cosplay, but I didn't really take much convincing.
I enjoy the atmosphere of cons, usually everyone is really friendly and open, and of course it's great to be somewhere people have the same interests as you. I also love looking around the stalls and buying stuff, and I always love to hear people tell me I have a good outfit, as I often do for other people.
My proudest moment in cosplay is... Probably when that group of cute asian girls all asked me for a photo with them. Think that was October last year? Epic stuff. XD But I'd also say my Army of Two cosplay was my most successful one yet.

I've been doing Wing Chun for nearly 10 years now / and I have my black belt / but I've still got a long way to go! I think it's a lot of fun / which is why I got into teaching it. Everyone at the club is really great and frankly I don't know what I'd do without it! If Wing Chun interests you in the slightest / I'd definitely recommend watching the film "Ip Man" Ip Man was probably the greatest Wing Chun practitioner who ever lived / and he has a film about him!

I just checked one of my hives and just looking from the top there was lots of bees dead with there heads in cells. I couldn't see any capped honey. There is still a small cluster of bees on one side. They are starving ? How can I save them? Can I put honey right on the top bars ? Should I use my miller type feeder (With what in it) ?

Get the Wolves newsletter
08:00 9th October 2013
Preparation starts for key fixtures
Kenny Jackett believes he will have learned a lot about his squad from last night's Johnstone Paint's Trophy disappointment – as he set about ensuring Wolves return all guns blazing against Coventry next week.
Wolves followed up one of their best performances of the season at Colchester on Saturday by losing on penalties to Notts County after a goalless draw in last night's second round tie.
The Head Coach was forced into several changes last night, and has vowed to assess the contributions from those who came into the side in view of the challenges which lie ahead this season.
"We don't like to lose," said Jackett.
"Playing at home we've drawn 0-0 before the penalty situation but at home we want to be scoring goals and threatening the opposition's box.
"And always wanting to win is something we have to develop.
"From my point of view I have to learn very quickly about some of my squad players and young players and the different combinations.
"We tried a few different combinations of forwards tonight with Cassidy and McAlinden getting on the pitch and it's important we put that to good use in terms of the development of the side going forward.
"I felt it was a tough one for Jake who put in a lot of effort.
"And I thought Ethan (Ebanks-Landell) grew into the game as it went on.
"He made a couple of mistakes as young players do and then as the game went on he won his headers, was first to the ball and his distribution improved.
"In terms of an influence it was tough for McAlinden who got himself into some good positions where you're looking for him to pull the trigger or find the right pass.
"The one at the end was typical when he looked to play Griffiths in and maybe misjudged it.
"But he also had a good curling shot which wasn't too far away.
"It was invaluable experience for them and the assessments we made will be vital going forward.
"We have had a good run without injuries and we need that and also in terms of some of the younger players and the fringe players it gives me a good opportunity to have a look at their form and what we feel they can do should they be called upon."
Jackett, who re-iterated he expects Bakary Sako to be back to full health and fitness for the next game at home to Coventry on Saturday week, was again full of praise for in-form keeper Carl Ikeme, who registered a fourth successive clean sheet before the shootout.
"He has had an excellent season so far," said the Head Coach.
"He has shown again that one-on-one he always has a chance."
And now all attentions will turn to preparing for the next batch of Sky Bet League One fixtures and building on the impressive start of 25 points from the first ten games.
"This is a quite a disjointed period for us anyway with some players away and a couple having knocks," said Jackett.
"As ever it will all get pulled together at the back end of next week.
"And it is very important that we do pull it together very quickly and get all of our senior players back.
"When we do start again it is an absolutely vital run of games we have in the league.
"We are disappointed to lose this one but have to put the exercise and knowledge gained to good use."

Nassib >>>> Smith
Trust me. Not just being a Cuse homer, but Nassib is 10x the QB that Smith is. You will see. Geno benifited from dumping the ball off to Austin and Bailey all game long. Plus he is a ****y, "I have already been crowned" kinda QB. NY will eat him up and spit him out. Oh, and Nassib can play in the snow and cold and wind. Smith, LOL. Wishes he was in Miami.
I also feel Nassib is better the Barkley.

Medical Oncologist
Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs; Medical Director, Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center; Norna S. Sarofim Chair in Clinical Oncology
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist with broad interests in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In my clinical practice I care for women with breast cancer, and I am now Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs at Memorial Sloan Kettering and Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center.
My research concerns the basic biology of cancer; the mathematics of tumor causation and growth; and the development of approaches to better diagnosis, prevention, and drug treatment of the disease. I am involved in many areas of research including identifying the genes that predispose people to cancer or that cause cancer, developing new drugs, monoclonal antibodies that target growth factor receptors, and vaccines. A major milestone in my research career was the development of an approach to therapy called "dose density," or "sequential dose density." This is a new and more effective way of using anticancer drugs, based on a mathematical model I developed with my colleagues, which maximizes the killing of cancer cells while minimizing toxicity.
I am currently the principal investigator of a program project grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that is aimed at better understanding breast cancer in the laboratory and in bringing these advances into clinical practice.
On a national level, I was formerly the Chair of the Breast Committee of the NCI's Cancer and Leukemia Group B. I was President of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) from 2001 to 2002, and was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the National Cancer Advisory Board (the board of directors of the NCI).
Among many awards over the course of my career, I was honored to receive ASCO's highest honor, the David A. Karnofsky Award, and was McGuire Lecturer at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. I am an author of more than 350 articles and many book chapters, have served as a visiting professor throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Israel, and Asia, and also have trained many cancer doctors and researchers.

Random numbers have a peculiar power, even when they are only pseudo- or quasirandom
Brian Hayes
The Monte Carlo method is not a new idea, and neither is the quasi–Monte Carlo variation. Simulations based on random sampling were attempted more than a century ago by Francis Galton, Lord Kelvin and others. In those days they worked with true random numbers (and had a fine time generating them!).
The Monte Carlo method per se was invented and given its name at the Los Alamos Laboratory in the years after World War II. It's no surprise that the idea emerged there: They had big problems (even more frightening than collateralized mortgage obligations); they had access to early digital computers (ENIAC, MANIAC); and they had a community of creative problem-solvers (Stanislaw Ulam, John von Neumann, Nicholas Metropolis, Marshall Rosenbluth). From the outset, the Los Alamos group relied on pseudorandom numbers. At the first conference on Monte Carlo methods, in 1949, von Neumann delivered his famous quip: "Anyone who considers arithmetic methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin." Then he proceeded to sin.
Quasi–Monte Carlo was not far behind. The first publication on the subject was a 1951 report by Robert D. Richtmyer, who was head of the theoretical division at Los Alamos. The paper is an impressive debut. It sets forth the motivation for quasirandom sampling, introduces much of the terminology, and explains the mathematics. But it was also presented as an account of a failed experiment; Richtmyer had wanted to show improved convergence time for quasi–Monte Carlo computations, but his results were negative. I am a fervent believer in reporting negative results, but I have to concede that it may have inhibited further investigation.
In 1968 S. K. Zaremba, then at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, wrote a strident defense of quasirandom sampling (and a diatribe against pseudorandom numbers). As far as I can tell, he won few converts.
Work on the underlying mathematics of low-discrepancy sequences has gone on steadily through the decades (most notably, perhaps, by Klaus Friedrich Roth, I. M. Sobol, Harald Niederreiter and Ian H. Sloan). Now there is renewed interest in applications, and not just among the Wall Street quants. It's catching on in physics and other sciences as well. Ray-tracing in computer graphics is another promising area.
The shifting fortunes of pseudo- and quasirandomness might be viewed in the context of larger trends. In the 19th century, randomness of any kind was an unwelcome intruder, reluctantly tolerated only where necessary (thermodynamics, Darwinian evolution). The 20th century, in contrast, fell madly in love with all things random. Monte Carlo models were a part of this movement; the quantum theory was a bigger part, with its insistence on divine dice games. Paul Erdös introduced random choice into the methodology of mathematical proof, which is perhaps the unlikeliest place to look for it. In computing, randomized algorithms became a major topic of research. The concept leaked into the arts, too, with aleatoric music and the spatter paintings of Jackson Pollack. Then there was chaos theory. A 1967 essay by Alfred Bork called randomness "a cardinal feature of our century."
By now, though, the pendulum may be swinging the other way, most of all in computer science. Randomized algorithms are still of great practical importance, but the intellectual excitement is on the side of derandomization, showing that the same task can be done by a deterministic program. An open question is whether every algorithm can be derandomized. Deep thinkers believe the answer will turn out to be yes. If they're right, randomness confers no essential advantage in computing, although it may still be a convenience.
Quasirandomness seems to be taking us in the same direction, with a preference for taking our drams of randomness in the smallest possible doses. What's ahead may be a kind of homeopathic doctrine, where the greater the dilution of the active agent, the greater its potency. That's nonsense in medicine, but perhaps it works in mathematics and computation.

KEY POINTSShould non-residents be able to purchase NZ property?
Rich Chinese are removing their money and assets from their own country and outbidding Aucklanders on houses, a worried real estate agent says.
Ian Thornhill of Barfoot & Thompson said one wealthy Chinese buyer paid top dollar for a Market Rd, Epsom, house which had since stood empty for weeks as the deal was "just offloading some surplus funds".
"I don't think it's a good thing at all. Kiwis are getting really upset. They can't compete with Asians who have the money and they pay more. You can see Kiwis only have a certain amount of money to spend but they do stretch themselves. This is all having an impact on us. It's as plain as the nose on your face, what's happening in the auction rooms each week."
But Graham Wall, who this year has sold seven out of 11 $3 million-plus properties to foreigners, said people should be "colourblind" on race and welcome overseas buyers.

not certain but i think there was another thread recently where the 3-jump limit was discussed for a few posts, and it turns out there is no limit...it was an assumption which became accepted as truth, but nothing could be found in print.Originally Posted by Theatregirl1122
Either that, or it WAS a limit, but a communication went out recently which dispensed with it
(maybe somebody remembers the thread)
The maximum number of jumps allowed in combination is 3 and the skater may only do it once in a competitive free program but, obviously, in exhibitions the skater is free to do whatever combinations s/he likes.Originally Posted by tully
There was a threada few days ago where we were discussing sequences and how seemingly the number wasn't limited and how you could do several jumps legally in a sequence. While that remains the truth it hink it was hockeyfan who remembered the rule stating that if a skater executes a sequence only the two hardest jumps will score points.
Good for her... but don't tell anybody else our olympic champion cheats some of her double jumps...

I thought most were supposed to be doubles, but as the combo goes on, the doubles become very cheated, rotating almost a revolution on ice, so who knows. Still, it was impressive on that clip-I'm sure the audience loved it live!
After the first two doubles it looks to me like she is only getting 1.5 rotations in the air, with the blade completing the rotation on the ice for the rest of the jumps.Originally Posted by icenut84

Excerpt: "The Texans-Lions game on Thanksgiving had everything. Included a horrible call that led to a long touchdown run that wasn't reviewed via replay because Detroit coach Jim Schwartz threw the red challenge flag when he shouldn't have thrown it.
The blunder arose from a rule that penalizes a coach who has the nerve to ask for a replay review when he's already entitled to get one. And the penalty for improper use of the red flag is more than the yardage marked off after a yellow one is thrown.
Under current rules, if a coach asks for a review in a situation where review is automatic (i.e., scoring plays, turnovers, final two minutes of either half, overtime), the review doesn't happen.The Competition Committee plans to recommend that the owners change that rule when they meet next month in Arizona."

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to confirm that its dedicated charity matchday on December 8 against West Bromwich Albion has raised in excess of £200,000 for The Arsenal Foundation.
The fantastic final sum of £203,237.23 will help the Club's grant-giving arm continue to support a range of local and international education and sport projects that aim to transform young people's lives, including those of Arsenal in the Community and the Club's global charity partner, Save the Children.
To announce the landmark total, Mikel Arteta and Santi Cazorla posed in their festive woolies to mark Friday's Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day.
The charity will continue to benefit from the work of The Arsenal Foundation and has already been supported with donations that have seen it deliver its Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play! (ESLP!) and Families and Schools Together (FAST) programmes for the first time in Islington, as well as a large-scale project in China to help improve the education of 15,000 children attending some of Beijing's most disadvantaged schools.
A host of fundraising initiatives took place in and around Emirates Stadium last Saturday, with the Arsenal first-team squad donating a day's wages and supporters contributing to the partnership in a number of ways. Volunteers were out in force to raise money through bucket collections and a special matchday raffle, while key supporters and beneficiaries of the Foundation also took part in a pre-match pitchside collection with Club mascot Gunnersaurus.
Elsewhere, 50p from every matchday programme sold was donated to The Arsenal Foundation, while Arsenal bar scarves, as modelled by the Arsenal players, were snapped up in Club retail outlets, with £2 from each sale going towards the overall fundraising cause.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, said: "Yet again, the dedicated matchday has been a fine example of everyone connected with Arsenal Football Club coming together and showing their generosity towards the Club's charitable and community projects.
"On behalf of the Club, I'd like to thank everyone that volunteered and donated to make the day such a success - the fantastic fundraising total raised will help The Arsenal Foundation continue its important work and we look forward to seeing the money support more exciting local and international projects in 2013."
Supporters can still make a donation to The Arsenal Foundation by visiting www.justgiving.com/thearsenalfoundation or by texting AFCF12 plus the amount (e.g. £2) to 70070.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Russia lost the element of surprise for a full-scale invasion of mainland Ukraine weeks ago and, thus, has resorted to subterfuge to disguise the presence of an obvious invasion force near its neighbor. As with Russia's initial, covert invasion of Crimea on February 27 and 28, the situation in SE Ukraine is once again very fluid, but a Russian military invention is no doubt imminent. News is breaking across alternative, independent and social media, as well as Ukrainian- and Russian-language sources.

You know that I, like millions of Soviet citizens, over 20 million, was a member of the Communist Party of the USSR and not only was I a member of the party but I worked for almost 20 years for an organization called the Committee for State Security [KGB]. I was not, as you know, a party member by necessity. I liked Communist and socialist ideas very much and I like them still.
-- Russian President Vladimir Putin; statement made at meeting of All-Russia People's Front in Stavropol; published in Newsweek, January 25, 2016
Communism is the sole system under which our country had it all. Today's authorities have destroyed everything that was built up by the Soviets. Sooner or later, by whatever means, the Communist Party will come to power again.
-- Vladimir Obukhovsky, head of Youth League of Communist Party of Russian Federation; published in Newsweek, July 31, 2016
This is our program as we call on the leaders of our countries to seek closer integration, establish the Eurasian Union, the Customs Union. We do not doubt that a new Union of friendly peoples will be created.
-- Kazbek Taysayev, MP, State Duma, Deputy First Secretary of Central Committee of Communist Party of Russian Federation; statement made at 39th Congress of Communist Party of Armenia, Yerevan, November 29, 2014
[The Customs Union] is an unprecedented step toward the restoration of the Soviet Union. I give you journalists a directive to write that [the] Soviet space will be restored in 2017. This is a symbolic date because the Bolsheviks established their rule in 1917.
-- Pavel Borodin, State Secretary, Union State of Russia and Belarus; quoted by Interfax-Ukraine, December 18, 2009
The plans for the resurrection of the USSR are well known to Putin and the present regime and are outlined in the documents of the UCP-CPSU [Union of Communist Parties, which includes the Communist Party of the Russian Federation] and Communist Party of the Union [State of Russia and Belarus].
-- Oleg Shenin (1937-2009), mastermind behind August 1991 anti-Gorbachevist putsch; published in Northstar Compass, April 2003
Once Upon a Time in the West holds to the position that the "collapse" of communism in Eastern Europe between 1989 and 1991 was part of a long-range strategic deception orchestrated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Communist Party of China, and sister parties worldwide. After a period of hibernation and regrouping, Moscow and her allies would then establish a stronger worldwide communist federation, with the ultimate intent of destroying and/or assimilating the capitalist nations.
Current events are analyzed here in the light of this thesis, such that, for example, the Eurasian Union represents a revived Soviet Union, while the Collective Security Treaty Organization represents a revived Warsaw Pact, etc. To this end, we monitor Communist Bloc military exercises, the activities and statements of Soviet communists, the spread of neo-communism in Latin America, and the Islamo-Marxist alliance.
All information is based on open-source documentation, including mainstream and state media, communist websites, and Soviet Bloc defector testimony, such as that of KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn. We do not publish classified information.
In a March 1989 memorandum to the US Central Intelligence Agency, Golitsyn revealed the dreadful conclusion of Mikhail Gorbachev's "perestroika" reforms: "The final period of 'restructuring' in the United States and Western Europe would be accompanied, not only by the physical extermination of active anti-Communists, but also by the extermination of the political, military, financial, and religious elites. Blood will be spilled and political re-education camps would be introduced."
In the same memorandum, written six years before the Oklahoma City bombing and 12 years before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Golitsyn predicts: "The Russians may be expected to provoke an incident unattributable to themselves involving the explosion of a nuclear device somewhere in the West not excluding the United States. The purpose would be to reassert or re-emphasize the necessity for the American-Russian partnership now, and to create pressure for eventual World Government."
Four years later, in a February 1993 memorandum, Golitsyn warned: "Ignore Russian and Chinese strategic designs against the United States at your peril."
In November 2008, following Barack Hussein Obama's election to the presidency, Gorbachev urged the president-elect to implement "perestroika," or socialist restructuring, in the USA. In an interview with Italy's La Stampa, he said: "The world is waiting for Obama to act. The White House needs to restore trust in cooperation with the United States among the Russians." On March 20, 2009, Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, held a secret meeting with Gorbachev at the White House. No minutes were released. We can only speculate that the former Soviet dictator once again urged President Obama to communize the USA.
This blog does not propagate "New World Order conspiracy theories." We acknowledge that Western mega-capitalists have organized themselves into a number of clandestine and semi-clandestine transnational associations committed to the utopian ideal of world government. By asserting that these organizations are the true threat to the West, however, the Left and the Faux Right are parroting communist propaganda.
The title of this blog is a hat tip to the Dire Straits song and the spaghetti western movie, but instead of the US "Old West" we are referring to the moral declension of Western Civilization and its inability to neutralize the neo-communist threat.

Golitsyn was not merely another defector. He was, as far as British intelligence was concerned, probably the most important defector in recent history.
-- Stephen de Mowbray, MI6
The KGB was afraid that Golitsyn could blow everything they were working on. If they couldn't kill him, they had to discredit him or at least muddy the waters. [Soviet defectors] Nosenko, Fedora, Top Hat were all part of that mission.
-- Newton "Scott" Miler, CIA
If you want to understand Soviet deception, you have to go back to the Trust. It is the prototype.
-- James Jesus Angleton (1917-1987), Director of Counterintelligence, CIA
On the same day that the Soviet Empire's international terrorist network attacked North America, the Russian Federation was conducting nuclear bomber "exercises." Can you imagine if the fourth hijacked airliner had smashed into the White House or Capitol Building, instead of crashing into a Pennsylvania field?
They'll be back. Will we be ready?
I think there's military-grade planning behind it.
-- John Thompson, MacKenzie Institute, Ottawa; quoted in National Post, September 12, 2001
A few days ago, here in South Africa, we had a 2 hour documentary about George Bush"s war on terror. I missed the opening, but from what I could make out it originated from Channel 4 in England.
The real piece of information I heard which just stuck in my mind came from the mouth of Vladimir Putin himself. Putin was interviewed extensively. Putin said that a week before 9/11, he was talking to Bush on the phone and he said to Bush that he had "an ominous feeling something was going to happen, something which had been planned for a long time." Those were Putin"s words as best I could remember them.
I think Putin knew something specific beforehand. I think people should consider the possibility that Putin knew exactly that 9/11 was going to happen. -- Jan Lamprecht, African Crisis, September 11, 2002
The Western Left and Faux Right are in agreement with the Soviet communists: the US Government perpetrated the 911 attacks. Don't fall for this lie.

Million Manhoef Already is Awesome, He's 10
- Written by Dave Walsh
When your father is Melvin Manhoef and you decide to follow in your father's footsteps, you have huge shoes to fill. Manhoef is known by many names, from Marvelous to Mini Mike Tyson, and fights in MMA under the Strikeforce banner currently, but he is best known for Kickboxing. In the kickboxing world, Manhoef is one of the smallest Heavyweights around, but has shown that he packs an incredible punch and is a dangerous matchup for any elite fighter. Manhoef also leaves it all in the ring when he fights.
His son, Million Manhoef has been training for a while now, and it turns out that this nine year old is now taking on amateur fights and showing shades of his papa. Million comes out wearing a white version of his father's gladiator trunks, does a mock dance like his father and even has a crazy counter left hook to look out for. This video shows just how dangerous this kid could be in a few years.

Newspapers daily report casuality lists from Iraq, but none bother to list casuality figures among the wives of men fighting in a war far away from home. Bana Miller, wife of an
Army officer, was thrown into the role of grief counselor when men of Bravo Troop headed overseas. In this role of heading a 24 hour hotline, Mrs. Miller dealt with women who were emotionally devastated by the absence of their husbands, some even threatened to enter a mental institution if their husbands could not be returned home. Mrs. Miller is one of 3,000 such volunteers heading hotlines to provide some source of emotional help to those who live in daily fear of becoming widows. As men come home and go back for one more tour, the stress of spouses and hot line leaders becomes even greater. Many simply burn out from the stress of trying to offer some help knowing full well they simply lack the means to offer assitance to anyone other than a shoulder upon which to cry or a face onto which one can vent anger.
The Marine Corps is finally recognizing unpaid volunteers are not the answer to emotional issues and is spending $30 million over the coming years to shift from volunteer to paid professional help while the Army is spending $45 million to hire 1,000 full-time workers. But, lost in the rhetoric about "success" or "failure" of the surge is any reference to the 500,000 military spouses and the 700,000 children who live in daily fear of their father or mother's death. One question, which reporters might well pose President Bush, is why no provision was ever made in the so-called "planning" of the Iraq war for aiding families of those who are serving. Why do the armed forces have to wait four years before realizing full-paid professional care workers are needed to assist spouses and children of those who fight? The emotional stress of combat is horrible, the emotional stress of not knowing loved ones may be killed is also stress. I wonder if George Bush ever halts for a moment of reflection and thinks about what his venture into war has done to Americans back home.

Not too long ago, futurists believed that as communication became easier and access to data became more universal, people would be better informed and better educated, which would result in a society that makes better decisions; ignorance and superstition would become obsolete, and old animosities rooted in myth and distrust would evaporate. Sadly, it seems the internet has served to speed up the dissemination of urban legends, hoaxes and disinformation.
Did you know the world is secretly ruled by shape-shifting reptilian aliens? That if a US courtroom's flag has gold fringe on it, that court is secretly a military tribunal at which the defendant has no rights? That not only is the world only 6,000 years old, it's also flat? That the Mayans built a city in northern Georgia and aliens built the pyramids? Of course you didn't know these things, because they are utter nonsense (and there is ample evidence to refute each of them); nonetheless, there are people out there who believe them, and they write books and create websites trying to convince others of their false beliefs.
Georgia attorney Loren Collins, in his new book, Bullspotting, takes aim at the logical fallacies that underlie many of today's most popular delusions. (Disclosure: I've known Collins for at least 15 years; I was a regular contributor to an earlier site of his, Suspension of Disbelief, where we examined the accuracy of plot points in comic books and movies; when he ran for Congress as write-in candidate for the Bull Moose Party, I designed his Bull Moose logo. I'm reviewing his book here not because he's a friend, but because his book is very good.) Continue Reading "Bullspotting: Finding Facts in the Age of Misinformation" »

Just home from work. Hot, humid and I'm tired so I'm whipping up an avocado and tomato guacamole (mine's more like salsa- prefer texture in my food) that I'll eat with rice mountain bread. A couple of pieces of fruit for dessert if I stay awake long enough.

Spicy Chicken Wings
40 whole chicken wings (about 8 pounds)
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups hot sauce
1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup Italian seasoning
1/4 cup dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup pepper (use less if you don't want the wings quite so spicy)
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (use a bit less if you don't want the wings quite so spicy)
1 cup blue cheese salad dressing
(If this is just for your family, you might want to cut this recipe in half.)
Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip section. Set the wings aside.
In a saucepan, bring the brown sugar, hot sauce, butter and vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until butter is melted and sauce is heated through. Set aside to cool.
In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the white sugar, seasonings and 1 cup sauce. Add chicken wings in batches; seal bag and toss to coat evenly. Remove and place the wings in a large container and let the wings sit for 15-30 minutes so they absorb some of the marinade.
Prepare grill while the chicken is marinating. Grill wings over indirect medium heat for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear, turning and basting occasionally with remaining sauce.
Remove from heat and serve with Blue Cheese dressing.

Meissner Sno-Park lot expansion to begin
Adding about 60 spots, kiosk, toilet
BEND, Ore. - The Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest will begin constructing an expansion of the parking lot at Virginia Meissner Sno-Park this week.
The expansion will include construction of an expanded, paved parking area to increase capacity from 120 to approximately 180 passenger vehicles, a kiosk and a new double vault toilet.
The sno-park will be closed to the public during construction; however, Forest Road 4315, which is adjacent to the Sno-park will remain open.
The public should be aware that there may potential delays on the road to allow for construction traffic. Construction is planned to finish by mid-September and no winter activities will be affected by the construction.
The decision to complete phased improvements and expansion of the sno-park to reduce parking congestion and improve safety was signed in 2008. These improvements are funded through a Federal Highways Administration (FHA) grant.
The same FHA grant, along with a Recreation Trails Program grant through Oregon State Parks and Recreation and partner contributions from Meissner Nordic, will fund the construction of a new warming shelter at the site next year, completing the planned improvements for the site.
For more information about the project, please contact Amy Tinderholt, Recreation Team Lead for the Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District, at 541-383-4708.
