Beans are a time-honored tradition in Pequot Lakes
As is tradition, a continuous long line of people snaked its way through Trailside Park in Pequot Lakes on Wednesday afternoon, July 10, for free beans.
Not just any beans, of course. These top secret-recipe beans were baked underground overnight in the park in giant cast iron kettles.
Not just any cast iron kettles. These 35- to 40-gallon kettles have names — Baby Olga, Big Bertha, Ole, Lena and Sven.
The kettles were unburied and hoisted up one by one on a sunny afternoon to be served along with a bun and Culligan water to residents and visitors.
Of course, royalty old and new was present. Miss Pequot Lakes Angela Cole and First Princess Cheyenne Wilson were accompanied by their escorts, Katie Nelson and Leah Johnson.
The 2012 king bean and queen bean, Earl Johnston and Holly Holm, crowned their successors, Tyler Tappe and Mary Peterson. The new bean royalty was the first to taste the first pot of beans to make sure they were safe for the crowd.
Just another Bean Hole Day tradition in Pequot Lakes.

The great news about being vegan is, you don't have to give up the most wonderful food ever available to mankind: chocolate.
Vegan chocolate is easily available, and truth be told, it is no different– in any way– from regular chocolate that has dairy products in it. One of my favorite bedtime treats is a tablespoon of Ghirardelli's White Mocha Hot Chocolate stirred into a cup of soymilk. Heaven AND vegan. And there are many, many varieties of vegan candy and vegan chocolate chips to be found at stores like Whole Foods.
Whole Foods and Ghirardelli also both make vegan chocolate chips for baking. To make the Chocolate Chip Cookies I am sharing today, I used Whole Foods' 365 Days brand of unsweetened dark chocolate chips. Not only are these chips delicious, they're really pretty in these cute little rectangular shapes they come in.
I just got back from a hectic work trip to Boston (which is why I've not been posting) but the minute I got home today I rolled up my sleeves and baked these cookies because I just couldn't leave these chocolate chips uneaten any longer.
The cookies have a lot going, texture-wise. The powdered rolled oats give them a wonderfully chewy texture. The chocolate chips give a silkily gooey mouth-feel. And the walnuts add a rich crunch.
I truly enjoyed making and eating these marvelous cookies. Hope you do too!
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mix in a bowl:
1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together until well mixed:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 tbsp water, beaten together
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp almond milk (can use soy milk)
Add the flour and beat in until smooth.
Now add:
1 1/3 cups rolled oats, ground to a powder
1 cup walnuts, toasted lightly, then chopped
1 cup vegan unsweetened dark chocolate chips
On a greased cookie sheet, drop large balls of the cookie dough, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in a 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are lightly brown. They will still be soft in the center.
Keep the cookie sheet on a rack for a few minutes. Then remove the cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to the rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Dig in!
One of Opie's favorite pastimes is to sit in the front yard and look for squirrels scurrying around the oak and maple trees on our street. He then barks at them to call them…to play? I have no idea, but he does look adorable doing it.
And finally here are some wonderful critters having a great time with our flowers. Have a nice weekend, everyone!

One thing that I love about France is the smell. Walking along any busy street is a real treat for the nostrils. You will pass a boulangerie and get the lovely fresh baking smell, then perhapps the wonterful sweet smell of a chocolatier followed perhapps by a dark roast coffee aroma. Totally draws you into these places too, by the end of the street for all of a sudden seem to have a crossiant and coffee and a bar of chocolate.

I think the experiment of going treatment free in commercial beekeepers has been done in the past. Unfortunately I do not think those guys are around to tell how they made out. As Jim pointed there is absolutely no incentive to go treatment free. There are so many risks and perils in this business, why would anybody even contemplate trying? The risks are huge, the benefit almost non existent. I for one will wait until I see others having success going treament free before I would even consider it on 10% of the outfit. We, the beekeeping industry is in a situation were even low levels of varroa mites are vectorin viruses that take out your hives. Point being the so called low levels of 15 years past does not cut it today.
Some have challenged Dee Lusby as to her "commercial" status. When pressed to give some generalities on her production she would not divulge. I doubt that it would be sustainable on a commercial level.

I've been doing a lot of reading about TBH's of all sorts and about long body hives as well. And, thanks to Michael Bush's information and encouragement, I've built a long body hive that accepts deep Lang frames (don't use foundation in them). By the way Michael, I have the girls moved in and they seem to be doing fine! I am now seriously considering building a square TBH and have a question.
It seems that in a long body hive, the idea is to allow for just a shade over the size of a double Lang hive body. In the TBH's, it seems the idea is to allow for about the same as 2 Lang hive bodies plus some honey storage.
My question is this. Is there a particular reason for these sizes. I realize that smaller sizes can cause problems by not allowing the bees to have enough room to raise brood and have enough for winter stores. But, is there any reason that a hive shouldn't be bigger?
I guess what I am getting at is if you were to build a hive that was.... say twice as big, would the girls simply enlarge their colony to "fit" the hive? Or would they only increase the amount of food stores?
If they would increase their population to the size of the hive, it just seemed to make sense to me to allow them to do this and thereby have a larger work force to collect more honey (for human consumption) during the nectar flows.
Just my thoughts! I'd like to hear yours. But, please remember that I'm still relatively new to keeping bees.

Rod Drury is to step down from the board of the New Zealand stock exchange in May at the company's annual meeting.
NZX chief executive Tim Bennett said Drury had told the board on Friday that he would have to leave the board because of his increasing commitments as chief executive of accounting technology business Xero.
Bennett said the NZX would now review its board composition before deciding whether to replace him.
Bennett said Drury had very specific skills and it would be good to get someone with similar talents on the board.
The board currently has seven directors including Drury. The annual meeting will be held on May 3 in Wellington.

This year the holidays have come faster than the Millennium Falcon in warp speed (well, when it works, right?). And considering I have a six month old daughter, I guess that makes sense.
While I might be behind in every aspect of my life at this point, and up to my elbows in diapers and onesies, I'd like to think I've got the inside track into what to get the geeky new mom on your list this holiday season. It's a list that contains a variety of items, from the simple to the somewhat elaborate. Pampering is important, especially after the Herculean task of childbirth!
Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bags
As if I needed any proof of my GeekMom status, I crowdsourced my diaper bag on Twitter. After going a few months with a hand-me-down that was passable but not exactly ideal, I needed something new for my trip to California with the baby in tow. This unusually named company piqued my interest, and though I was a little wary with the price, the patterns and design changed my mind. After much deliberation I went with the Wistful Weekender.
I don't know what I would have done without this bag on my trip, that not only holds all the baby gear (so many inside pockets!) but fits a laptop, my iPhone, and a variety of other things. One Amazon reviewer claimed it was a "Mary Poppins bag" and it is exactly that. I'm pretty sure there's something magical sewn into the seams, because everything from diaper changes to feedings to grabbing a tube of lipstick or my iPhone went down as smoothly as a spoonful of sugar. Absolutely worth every penny. And I get compliments on it everywhere. Seriously. Compliments on a diaper bag.
The iPhone 5
from $199 (varies by carrier)
Okay, so first, I don't actually have an iPhone 5. I have an iPhone 4S. But the new one probably makes more sense if you're getting a gift, right? Anyway. I was slow to the iPhone bandwagon. I resisted, for a number of reasons, for a very long time. Then, just a few months before my daughter was born, I broke down when my Droid X had a colossal meltdown. And if there's one item that's changed my life in the last ten years, it's the iPhone (sorry MacBook Pro…).
I'm not the first nor the last person to extol the virtues of this phone, and I don't think I need to sell it really. I'll just say that it's saved my sanity. Being disconnected from the world is never a good idea when you have a kid, as I learned enduring postpartum depression with my first child. The iPhone's kept me plugged in without going overboard, allowed me to have fun, and helped me stay informed and entertained these last six months. Particular props to Flipboard and Pinterest apps. Not to mention it's helped me document the first six months of my daughter's life, in photos and videos, effortlessly. I don't think I could have survived without you, little phone.

Town Square
Pleasanton History
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Aug 23, 2007
The long/lat coordinates are not as accurate as I'd like but they give a general idea of where these runways were located.
"NOLF Cope, 3,200' runway, located at Pleasanton (37.68/-121.84)" - In the middle of a gravel quarry along Stanley across from Shadow Cliffs
"NOLF Rita-Butterworth, 3,000' runway, located at Pleasanton (37.7/-121.85)" - Somewhere around Staples Ranch area
"NOLF Spring Valley, 3,500' runway, located at Pleasanton (37.7/-121.9)" - Somewhere along Owens Dr near BART
Another interesting fact is that old railroad junctions and stops had names attached to them. Most people may be aware of Verona station, which was a stop near Verona Rd. for visitors to the Hearst Hacienda. The old railroad junction at the intersection of Valley Ave. and Stanley Blvd. was called Radum. If you use Google maps and type in these names it actually shows these locations.

Forgot to add, there were a total of something like 12 NOLFs attached to Livermore NAS. Some others were located in Livermore, Dublin, and Tracy. Camp Parks used to host one of them as well as the old location for the Livermore Municipal Airport. One was as far away as Milpitas. These were practice fields for pilots training for WWII.

I started to put together a Google Earth KMZ file marking the "lost locations" around the Tri-Valley by putting in the locations of these Naval Outlying Fields. I also added the old Hummingbird Haven gliderport in Livermore. I intend to add more locations as I find them...
Here you can download the KMZ file:

Arrts Around Town: 'Toulouse-Lautrec and His World' exhibit to open at Allentown Art Museum
It was the late 19th century, a colorful time of cabarets, cafés and brothels in Paris. For one Bohemian artist living in the north district of Montmartre, the nightlife provided the perfect backdrop for his posters and prints as he captured real people including singers, actors, and other characters during the Belle Epoque, or "beautiful era." The most recognizable work of his short lifespan of 36 years became his first poster of the Moulin Rouge nightclub in 1891. However, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec proved to be a most innovative printmaker whose expressive use of line was well suited to the medium of lithography.
His Paris-themed posters and prints can be enjoyed locally with the summer exhibit, "Toulouse-Lautrec and His World," opening Sunday through Sept. 1, at the Allentown Art Museum. A preview party featuring cabaret-style performances will be held Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
According to Diane Fischer, chief curator at the museum, approximately 150 original posters, lithographs, drawings and book illustrations by the French artist will be displayed, along with photographs and furniture representing the Art Nouveau style of the late 19th century.
The traveling exhibition is on loan from the private Herakleidon Museum in Athens, Greece, whose founders are husband-and-wife team Paul Firos and Anna-Belinda. Allentown is one of the first locations outside of Europe to host the exhibition. The tour kicked off earlier this year in New Britain, Conn., and will head to Flint, Mich.
Lautrec was influenced by the French Impressionist movement and strove to incorporate the ideals of such painters as Monet and Renoir into his own work. He also was influenced by Edgar Degas and Japanese printmaking. In addition to posters, he illustrated theater programs, book covers, menus and other ephemera. The Allentown exhibit will include the posters "Jane Avril," "Divan Japonais," "La Revue Blanche," and "Mademoiselle Eglantine's Troupe," depicting four women dancing the Can-Can. Fischer said Lautrec's Moulin Rouge poster will not be part of the exhibition because a good copy has not been found.
"People will leave feeling like they've been transported back to the 1890s in France. His work is outstanding," Fischer said of the Lautrec exhibition. "He never made a distinction between commercial and fine art, even though he also painted in oil."
Due to a genetic bone condition, Lautrec grew to be only five feet tall and needed to walk with a cane. His unusual physical appearance only contributed to his legendary persona. He died in 1901, at the age of 36, with deteriorating health due to alcohol abuse and the effects of syphilis.
In support of the exhibition at the Allentown Art Museum, a series of Lautrec-related events include:
- Wednesday, noon talk: "The Beautiful Bodice: Fashions from the 1890s" by Kayla O'Connor, the museum's adjunct curator of textiles;
- Sunday, June 9, 1 p.m.: "Toulouse-Lautrec and His Muse – Paris during the Belle Epoque" by Lisa Norris, associate professor of art history at Kutztown University;
- Sunday, June 16, 1 p.m.: "Dispensing Beauty" by Annette Blaugrund, author and lecturer ("Dispensing Beauty: The Triumphs and Tragedies of Harriet Hubbard Ayer"), Victorian-era entrepreneur who owned and operated a cosmetics company, and
- Sunday, July 14: Bastille Day at the Museum, with "French/European Printmaking in the Late 19th Century," at 1 p.m., by Christine Giviskos, associate curator of European Art at the Jane Vorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University.
Also opening at the Allentown Art Museum beginning Sunday will be the exhibition, "South Asian Temple Art," items from temples or associated with or used directly in religious practices. The works range in date from 200 AD up to and including the 1900s and were produced in India, Tibet and Nepal.

Todd Stone's exhibition, "Midstream," 20 years of painting along the Delaware River, runs through June 10 at the Nuture Nature Center, 518 Northampton St., Easton. Through oils and watercolors, Stone, of Kintnersville and New York City, presents the changing landscape of the Gallows Run Watershed and the Narrows of the Delaware River at the Nockamixon Palisades and the changes wrought by recent severe weather and flooding.
Stone has exhibited internationally for more than 30 years. He was in his New York studio during 9/11 and painted on his roof until evacuation. His exhibition, "Witness," depicting a series of events of 9/11 and the aftermath, was shown at the James A. Michener in Doylestown. His recent series, "Downtown Rising," chronicles the rebuilding of the first skyscrapers at Ground Zero.
In addition to Stone's exhibition, the Nurture Nature Center also has paintings by Anna Kodama, titled "Animals from the Dreaming World," and work by artists of the Lehigh Art Alliance, including Pat Delluva, Jody Matthews, Sydney McGinley, Kay Stauffer, and Patti Tinsman-Schaffer.

"Joie de Vivre: Sculptures and Drawings by Karel Mikolas and Antonio Salemme" opens Sunday through June 30, at the gallery of the Antonio Salemme Foundation, 542 W. Hamilton St., Suite 203, Allentown. An opening reception will be held from noon to 5 p.m.
Joie de Vivre, the joy and exaltation of life, expresses the message of classical art and two well-known masters of classical figurative sculpture. Both artists were born in Europe – Mikolas in Czechoslovakia, Salemme in Italy – received rigorous training in an academic system of apprenticeship with roots in the Renaissance, and found their way to the Lehigh Valley. Mikolas has resided in Newside, Lehigh County, since 1975. Salemme settled in Williams Twp., Northampton Co., in 1962, and passed away in 1995, at the age of 102.
The exhibition will include rarely-shown terra-cotta (fired clay) figures called bozzetti, or sculptural ideas in sketch; drawings in charcoal, chalk and ink; plaster and bronze works, and bronze portraits.

The Republic of Turkey, with over 74 million citizens, is a major regional power and a growing influence on the global scene. Turkey has historically been a bridge between Europe and Asia, and continues to serve in this capacity through its physical and human presence in Europe, its religious connections to the greater Middle East, and its cultural, linguistic, and religious ties to Central Asia. Students at Rutgers can participate in courses on Turkish language and Ottoman and Turkish history through the African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures department (AMESALL), Middle Eastern Studies Program (MESP), and affiliate departments and programs. These studies have long been represented at Rutgers through MESP faculty like Stephen Reinert, who is a scholar of comparative Byzantine, Balkan, and Turkic history and culture in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and Ferhan Tunagur, who teaches the Turkish language on all levels.
Rutgers faculty in other fields and schools are also engaged in research on Turkey. The Department of Nutritional Sciences at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences is currently conducting research on diabetes and obesity in Turkey.
Faculty in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, within the School of Engineering (SOE), is currently involved in a joint project on "Risk Analysis in Maritime Traffic in the Strait of Istanbul" with the Department of Industrial Engineering at Boğaziçi University (Istanbul). This project involves modeling maritime traffic through the Bosphorus with a computer simulation, and has been supported by the Turkish Straits Vessel Traffic Services Authority, the Maritime Office, the Prime Minister's Office, the National Sciences Foundation in the United States, and its Turkish counterpart for the past four years. Civil and Environmental Engineering is also involved in collaborative research projects with Boğaziçi University (Istanbul) and Middle East Technical University (Ankara). Industrial Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering are collaborating with scholars from the Middle Eastern Technical University (Ankara) on advances in the micro-manufacturing of materials.
In addition to these research linkages, Rutgers University is also developing personal linkages with its sister universities in Turkey. Faculty have taught summer courses at Bilkent University in Ankara (BUA) and Boğaziçi University (Istanbul). In 2010, the Rutgers Department of Political Science hosted Ali Turan (Chair of the Marmara University Department of Political Science and International Relations) as a Visiting Professor. Rutgers students have the opportunity to go abroad to Turkey. The study abroad currently sponsors semester and full-year study abroad programs at Koç University in Istanbul and BUA.

I've built them a couple of ways. The 16 inch Bulgarian barrel has the gas port drilled. It is designed for a short bolt. The standard 5.45 AK-74 bolt is a long bolt. This causes the gas tube to end up short or the top cover ending up short. One fix is to use the combo front sight base / gas block from the 12.5 inch barrel. It has the gas port in the same location and uses a standard piston but the gas tube is suppose to be be slightly shorter due to the gas block design. This can close the gaps when a AK-74 bolt is used. Note the Bulgarian barrel is 23mm at the trunnion and has a wide milled receiver rear sight base. The rear sight base or trunnion will have to be modified or an AK-74 rear sight base may fit the barrel. The barrel will need to be turned down to 22mm or an AK-74 trunnion opened up if an AK-74 trunnion and bolt are used.
The Bulgarian 5.56 magazines will fit an AK-74 trunnion as will Polish 5.56 magazines. Other 5.56 magazines usually will not fit.
The 5.45 ejector or receiver will work.
The East German barrels have unique diameters and need to have the journals turned down for AK-74 parts to fit. They do not have the gas port drilled.
Galil bolts will work with AKM trunnions as will Galil magazines. The bullet guide may need some modifying to feed ammunition into the barrel.
The 7.62 AKM rear sight base is way off for 5.56 but the AK-74 5.45 rear sight base is close enough to use.
The most economical build is to buy a non-modified 223 Saiga. The Bolt and barrel will work with an AK-74 trunnion. The barrel can be fitted with AK-74 parts if desired.
Some people claim the rear of the AK-74 bullet guide needs relieving for the slightly longer 5.56 cartridge. This is not always the case.
The 5.56 case is 4.5 mm longer than the 5.45 case. Some people like to cut the ejector back towards to rear to keep the brass from getting beat up as it is ejected but this is not required.
A Romanian 5.45 trunnion takes a 23 mm barrel and works with a short bolt, such as the Galil bolt and maybe the Yugoslavian bolt (Yugoslavian bolt carrier also required).
When using a Galil bolt the 7.62 bolt carrier needs to be cut / ground narrower on the bottom to clear the 5.56 magazine opening. Some milled receiver bolt carriers and some rare Romanian 7.62 bolt carriers have a tapered, rounded bottom that may clear a 5.56 magazine without modification. Chinese bolt carriers are also the tapered, rounded bottom type.

The one I'm waiting on is the internally finished receiver. I'm not aware of them being cancelled as I was informed back in early Nov. that mine was one of the ones due to go out the door soon. However, if you have followed anything on the WG site since mid December, things seem to be up in the air there. I've been meaning to inquire on the status of my order.
I will keep you in mind, thanks.

Hewlett-Packard reported its financial results for the quarter ending on April 30, 2011, early in the day on May 17, a day sooner than expected. Dell reported its financial results the same day, at its normal time at the end of the day. In many ways, as we will see in a minute, the results were similar. Yet the financial market reaction was dramatically different. HP's stock price dropped by 7% during the day, while Dell's stock price rose by almost 7% in after-hours trading. Bloomberg News, in its article on the two companies' results, headlined what it saw as the reason for the different performance: "Dell Shares Rise After Corporate Spending Gives Company Edge Over Rival HP."
I am not a stock analyst, nor is Forrester in the business of analyzing or forecasting stock performance. But the divergent responses of the stock market to the financial results of HP versus Dell do have implications for vendor strategy, while the underlying results show where the tech market is headed.
First, let's compare the actual numbers. HP's revenues in the quarter were up by 3%, and right in line with expectations, while Dell's revenues were just 1% higher, and lower than expectations. Dell's sales to business rose by 3%, while HP's sales increased by 8%. Dell's sales to consumers fell by 7%, slightly better than the 8% drop in HP's sales to consumers. So far, very similar numbers between the two vendors, with HP actually doing better than Dell in the quarter. So, why the market perception that Dell outperformed HP?

[Article]-The IDA Pro Book
Permanent link: [Article]-The IDA Pro Book
Review by Ryan Linn, CISSP, MCSE, GPEN
After attending DEFCON in August and seeing the overwhelming interest in this book, I was eager to dive into The IDA Pro Book by Chris Eagle. Chris Eagle's team, School of Root, won the "Capture the Flag" event at DEFCON this year and Chris gave a presentation on CollabREate, a tool that integrates with IDA Pro to allow collaboration in reverse engineering (RE). All of that together - with the fact that the book sold out – screamed that this book should quickly make it to the top of my list.
Once I had the book in-hand, the cover alone offered some insight into what was to come. The quote on the front of the book is an endorsement from the creator of IDA Pro. The image on the front is a throwback to the Operation game by Milton Bradley, which reminds me of how I felt when I got started doing reverse engineering. I am not a professional Reverse Engineer or Malware Analyst, however, my coding background and my current position as a security professional at SAS affords the opportunity to dabble. This puts me in the perfect middle ground of being able to understand the material as well as assess its ability to teach.
Let the conversation begin...

GM "Electric Car is Not Dead" Despite Mediocre Sales
Jason Mick
January 17, 2013 7:19 PM

Sender E-mail
Automaker looks ahead to Cadillac ELR, second-generation Volt
When it comes to sales General Motors Comp.'s (
) Chevy Volt has done modestly,
moving a couple thousands units
per month in good months. Compared to other entrants
such as the Nissan Leaf EV
from Nissan Motor Comp., Ltd. (
), whose sales number in the mere hundreds per month, that's not bad.
But sales have still been short of the hype that surrounded Volt, a car that was viewed by many as a "savior-car" of sorts for the automaker during its recession troubles. The Volt has suffered a 2011
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
investigation over battery fires
and more recently has been
rejected by some Chevy dealerships
over high tooling costs.
Still, GM is convinced that electric vehicles are a winning proposition. Wednesday night at the Automotive News World Conference GM's North America chief Mark Reuss boldly
, "The electric car is not dead... We couldn't be happier … with the Volt."
The Chevy Volt has seen several sales targets slip. In 2011 GM promised to sell 10,000 Volts, but only sold 7,700. In 2012 it predicted 45,000 units sold, but only moved 23,000. At times the Hamtramck Assembly Plant where the vehicle is assembled was idled.
GM is forging ahead, looking to fill the idle capacity at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant with orders of the new Cadillac ELR, which is essentially a luxury reskinned Volt. At the conference Mr. Reuss revealed that the plant would begin producing Cadillac ELRs before the end of the year.

He also teased at the upcoming second generation Volt design, which he claims "will be even better". He comments, "We'll get there. We will see the day when we have an affordable electric car that offers 300 miles of range with all the comfort and utility of a conventional vehicle. We're talking about a transformation here. And transformation takes time."
He admits that pricing needs to become more competitive, stating, "The rest of them will come around when technology advances electric vehicles to the point where they offer comparable performance at comparable prices."

The determination from the Detroit automaker runs counter to its previous approach from the 1990s, where it debuted the EV-1 only to bail, pulling the plug in 1999 after three years of poor sales. GM was oft villainized for that decision for much of the last decade; now it is celebrated by EV advocates as a key proponent of the advanced vehicle push.
The optimism also contrast sharply with the grim rhetoric of Nissan at the auto show. While Nissan is sticking with its LEAF EV, it's dropping the price (to $28,800 USD) and admitting that so far the project has been a flop. LEAF EV sales were essentially flat, up only 1.5 percent from 2011 to reach 9,819 units. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn admitted this week; "It was a disappointment for us."
Others like Ford Motor Comp. (F) have been more restrained in their EV dive, but have
also suffered poor results
. Ford produced 1,627 2013 Ford Focus EVs, but only sold 685 (42 percent of the stock). Fiskar also suffered a rocky year with its Karma being
panned by reviewers as "overweight"
. The Karma also
suffered fire issues
leading to recalls and
320 of the pricey EVs
were destroyed when Hurricane Sandy hit.
Tesla Motor Comp. (
) also
saw slow sales for much of the year
, but like GM it also delivered a fair degree of good news,
becoming profitable again
late in the year, thanks to the
launch of the 2013 Model S
mid-range luxury electric sedan. The Model S was well received by reviewers who
gave it many awards
for its slick handling and performance.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very cute and festive.

2 court rulings are victories for gay marriage supporters
Focus On The Family: rulings not a complete victory
WASHINGTON - Supporters of gay marriage are celebrating two Supreme Court decisions today.
One struck down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay couples. The other cleared the way for the resumption of same-sex marriage in California by leaving in place a trial court's declaration that California's voter-approved ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
The provision of the Defense of Marriage Act that was struck down today kept legally-married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits that go to married couples of the opposite sex.
Wednesday evening Colorado Springs Pride celebrated the decision at City Hall in Colorado Springs.
"We are here today to publicly proclaim victory," said Charles Irwin of Colorado Springs Pride. "We are also here today to remember the thousands of people that have fought to get us here today. And I hope we are here today to recommit ourselves to the fight for LGBT equality."
Focus on the Family has been a critic of gay marriage. A spokeswoman for the group said it's important to realize that voters passed a state amendment in 2006 that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
"The people of Colorado have said marriage is a special union and it needs to be a man and a woman and a lot of that is because kids do best on every measure when they have a married mother and father-- that needs to be our public policy," said Carrie Gordon Earll of Focus.
Gordon Earll argued that the decision doesn't liken gay marriage to a mandate or civil right.
"The definition of marriage in Colorado is in tact and that's how we feel like it's a good ruling for marriage," said Gordon Earll.
In the other ruling, the justices said nothing at all about same-sex marriage itself. But the outcome will probably allow California officials to order the resumption of same-sex weddings in the state in about a month.

I have had two calls this week about bees entering between the top of bricks and bottom of siding on their house. Both seem to be between the first and second floor of house. Bees are entering along a 3 foot section of wall so not sure where main entrance is.
My questions are how do I find them and do you think they are in the wall (which I am sure has insulation) or between the first and second floor?
Also would you remove them from the outside or from the inside?
Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.

A temperature control louver was a piece of advanced technology aboard NASA's Mariner 2 space probe when it was launched in the mid-20th century.
A schematic of the Mariner 2 spacecraft depicting the location of the temperature control louver was stored in the USS Enterprise's library computer database. This database was accessed by the Talosians in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")
The schematic of the Mariner 2 spacecraft was from the archives of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Thanks! The handle is even more beautiful in person and as I stated, it really feels great in your hand. I love putting custom handles on all my knives as it really sets them apart.
Iused pettys often enough I would jump on that, it is very nice and always wanted a nenox
You should jump on it now! Seriously, it is a really great knife. Only selling because I need to cover some other knives I recently purchased to feed my addiction
This is awesome and someone needs to buy this ASAP!!
The nenox pettys seem to have a bigger handle on a petty that I like.
I hate the way pettys seem to have handles designed for a midget!
Price drop to $260
Adam does some really nice work. I sometimes wish i liked western handles, this is one of them....

Thanks to those of you that attended our SAP Jam Teleconference today, part of a series that will run throughout the week. For details on the next event in the series, see http://www.forrester.com/rb/teleconference/sap_jam_session_what_should_sap_clients/q/id/6292/t/1.
For those of you unable to attend, I will summarize some of the content that I presented on SAP's overall growth and innovation strategy. SAP has a double-barreled product strategy focused on Growth and Innovation.
Growth Strategy
The Growth strategy rests heavily on the current Business Suite, which includes the core ERP product that is used by approximately 30,000 companies worldwide. SAP claims that it touches 60 percent of the world's business transactions, which is hard to validate but not all that hard to believe. The main revenue source today is Support, which comprises 50% of the total revenues of the company at more than 5 billion Euros annually, and it grew by 15% in 2009. Other growth engines include:

FOREVER IN SONG Jenny Lee Stern as Patsy Cline.
But the play also seeks to give a sense of the woman behind the songs, of her warmth and utter lack of pretense. Rather than string the songs together along the lines of a standard artist bio, Swindley instead shows us Cline's appeal through the eyes of real-life Austin, Texas "everywoman" Louise Seger (Charis Leos), a big early fan — and even bigger personality — whose life is changed by her friendship with the singer. Through Louise's enthused recollections, we hear of her first smitten encounter with Cline's music (singing "Walkin' After Midnight" on Arthur Godfrey's prime-time TV variety hour), the immediate bond they form when Patsy plays a show in Austin, the letters Louise later receives from her, and finally the news of her too-early death (at 30, in a plane crash).
The setting, then, is both Louise's home and her memory, and Elisha Schaefer's set is a savvily expressionistic mingling of those worlds: The high wooden ceiling beams of the Grand Ole Opry and other performance venues shift seamlessly into the floral wallpaper and linoleum of Louise's living room and kitchen. Brian Hapcic's lighting moves us beautifully through the various moods and locales of Louise's experience, while Jeffrey Cady's video projection design allows us to experience the various media of the late-'50s and early-'60s music industry, including seeing Patsy as if on black-and-white TV and in a radio recording studio. These scenes, projected over Louise's patterned wallpaper, let Stern deftly conjure the singer's versatility in a number of very different contexts, while the floral print underneath the projections reminds us that we are always seeing her through the lens of Louise's memory.
Louise, in Leos's hands, is outrageous, full of hilarity, and welcoming. She also has a super voice, with which she occasionally accompanies Patsy (packing a particular wallop in "Bill Bailey"). In some stretches, Louise's comic antics might be distilled a little, and some musical moments actually seem a little encumbered by the context Swindley wrote for them (Stern's breathtaking rendition of "Crazy" doesn't need the literal connections to Cline's marital strife in order to send us swooning). But overall Leos holds the show together with great heart and folksy-racy sass, and is a sympathetic means of bridging Real Life and celebrity.

By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, UTSA College of Business
(Nov. 9, 2007)--The UTSA College of Business dedicated the Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD) on Thursday, Oct. 25. More than 75 students, business, community and government representatives attended the event.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Offering comprehensive and customized services for students and employers, CSPD provides a range of academic and career-preparation programs and services to give business students a competitive edge in attaining internships and employment opportunities.
"The goal of the center is to transform business students into business professionals," said Lynda de la Viña, dean of the UTSA College of Business. "By combining theory with practice, students can develop a balanced portfolio of academic, career readiness and leadership skills to place them on the path to success in their professional careers."
The center was made possible with the generous support of local community leaders and businesses. Renowned real estate investor Kyle Seale and his wife, Billie Seale, donated $100,000 to establish the H. Kyle Seale Student Professional Development Endowment in the College of Business.
Additionally, corporate sponsors established multi-year commitments to fund the center's start-up operation, including AllianceBernstein, Deacon Recruiting, JPMorgan Chase, Koontz McCombs, Rackspace Managed Hosting, Security Service Federal Credit Union, Wachovia and Wells Fargo Bank.
The center also serves as a resource conduit for the business community. Partnering with local, regional and national employers, the center offers specialized services to help employers recruit internship and job placement candidates. Supporting employers through the entire recruitment process, the center hosts companies for on-campus interviews, networking receptions, industry panels, and expos and career fairs.
The UTSA College of Business is one of the 40 largest business schools in the nation with more than 5,000 undergraduates and 1,000 graduate students. Offering comprehensive academic programming at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels, the college is ranked second in the nation for the number of undergraduate business degrees awarded to Hispanics and was named one of the top 10 M.B.A. programs for minorities by Princeton Review.

I really don't think they're going out at all. In an interview ashley said that her and zac were just friends and that he was more like a 'brother'. I fool around with my friends like that and it certainly doesn't mean we're going out. We should accept that Zac and Vanessa were a first time love together and have both moved on.

1. Which is the best method to get comb honey?
2. How hard is it to get the bees to accept the comb honey systems?
3. Do you have any sure-fire methods to market comb honey?

By Doug Eadie
In my younger days as a community college vice president in Cleveland, I oversaw the office of the college board of trustees. I had an invaluable opportunity early in my career to work closely with the governing body of a major educational institution. The lessons I learned over my five years at the college have served me well as a consultant to public and nonprofit organizations in the governance arena.
One of the most important lessons I learned is that the work of governing a public or nonprofit organization -- be it a school district, college, hospital, or public transportation authority -- is by its very nature a team effort. The process of making strategic and policy-level decisions and judgments is so complex that no school board could possibly govern effectively on its own without a close partnership with its superintendent and senior administrators. Their collaboration and support are essential for effective decision-making.
A second lesson came along with the first: Governing may be a team sport, but it is without clear rules. This makes building a rock-solid district governing team a challenge. I was thinking about this as I watched the French Open final. Imagine playing a tennis match without hard and fast rules about such basics as when a shot is in or out, when you change sides, how you keep score, or what constitutes a foot fault when serving. Chaos, right? Welcome to the world of public school governance.
Sure, some fundamental rules for the governing game exist, such as how school board members are elected, the terms they serve, when posting a meeting is necessary, and what constitutes a quorum. But when you get into complex governing processes such as strategic planning, annual budget development, and educational performance monitoring, no detailed, universally accepted guidelines exist for you to follow.
Every time I present a workshop involving school board members and district administrators, someone asks me to explain the division of labor between the school board and superintendent in a particular area, like operational planning. Every time, I disappoint more than a few participants by saying, "Well, you've got to work that out based on experience, but there's no way you can draw a solid line with your school board's role on one side, and the superintendent and senior administrators' on the other."

These and all UTSA students can learn more about UTSA organizations and resources through the events on Monday, Aug. 21 and Tuesday, Aug. 22.

If the district judge determines that the appeal can be heard as a question of law alone, without the necessity of a transcript or a trial de novo, the judge shall enter an order to that effect stating the issue of law to be determined on appeal and set a day certain for the filing of the appellant's opening brief based upon the clerk's file and the order of the court.
(d) Listening to Tapes. If the district judge determines that the appeal should be heard by listening to the tapes of the trial or proceedings of the trial court, the judge shall enter an order to that effect and direct a time within which the parties shall review or listen to the recording tapes and set a date certain for the filing of appellant's opening appellate brief.
(e) Special Transcript. If the district judge does not require the preparation of a transcript on appeal, the district judge shall nevertheless, upon motion of any party to the appeal, order the preparation of a transcript of the proceedings at the cost of the moving party which shall require the moving party to pay the estimated transcript fees within fourteen (14) days of entry of such order and the clerk of the court shall serve a copy of such order upon the transcriber of the trial or proceedings of the trial court.

"Collage: Piecing it Together" at the Portland Museum of Art is a somewhat rambling look at a process that came into use in the beginning of the 20th century as a cubist process bringing images, colors, and shapes together that were previously used elsewhere. The museum is stretching the traditional use of the term a bit to include any work that has something glued onto it, and the results are somewhat mixed.
Collage evolved as an intimate form, where an idea could be brought into being quickly and without much fuss. And it is the smaller works in this show that seem the most resonant. I overheard a conversation at the museum between a woman and a boy who were looking at a piece with the observation that it must be "hard to cut these pieces of paper out," which it is not. The hard part is knowing where to put them so it counts.
Anne Ryan (1889-1954) had been a member of the New York avant-garde in the 1940s when she encountered the collages of Kurt Schwitters and took that method as her primary form. Her two small pieces here are, by themselves, worth a trip to the museum. Ryan had a way of putting things together with an admixture of delicacy and strength that give her work sparkling resonance. I had seen these pieces some while ago in a different context and came to see if they were as good as I remembered. They are.
Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) made collage his life's work, building his "Merz" installations by gathering odd bits of everything and sticking them together in a way that has become, in latter days, an entire art industry. What Ryan saw in his work is the intensity of the simple relationships he made with color, edges, textures, and words. The two small Schwitters collages here have his characteristic feeling of something here but not here, as if implying a greater universe that can't be seen directly.
And speaking of universes, Joseph Cornell could make an entire little world in a box. The double-sided collage shown here, "Images From a Penny Arcade" seems to be about something other than amusements. It will stop you in your tracks, if you're paying attention.
The larger works in this show seem to fare less well, perhaps because one's attention gets calibrated by the focused scale of the smaller pieces. Tom Paiement's big work is a stew of techniques and images that pile together in a way that is admirable for its ambition, but in this context doesn't seem to cohere. It calls to mind those unfortunate murals that are assembled by a community group, each person contributing their own bit but not adding up to a whole.
Aaron Stephan likes to build portraits of figures canonized by the art world into his work, and here depicts two, the late German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys and, from a totally different world view, the Dalai Lama. Stephan builds his images from small bits cut from an anatomy book, recalling the way that Chuck Close learned to paint after being paralyzed. It brings to mind the New Yorker critic Peter Schjeldahl's observation, writing about a recent show of influential art made in 1969, that art had been steered into "mazes of self-reference that it has not escaped to this day."
