Suggestions are always welcome.Typically the hours stop being counted for the awards as of March 31st. However, we will be extending the award period into the Fall, and we will provide you with a cutoff date when more details are available.

text: Hi. Ive never purchased tickets for MetLife Stadium before. My friend and I are interested in seeing Giants-Broncos when they are slated to play during 2013. Ive started hunting around for single-game tickets, although in most cases I havent been able to find any available yet. When I do find them, though, I definitely want to pay as close to fair value as possible. Can anyone give me a ballpark idea what this might be, so I can recognize it if and when I see it, and not get ripped off? Im looking for semi-decent seats by no means the best that money can buy, but certainly not in the nose-bleed section either. Is this going to be possible for under $100 to $200 or am I living a pipe dream? Like I said, Ive never done this before (no football games, or any other pro sporting event either for that matter). Thanks to anyone who responds with some insight!

The Slow Flow of Winter in Tofino
Marina West Motel • Tofino, Canada
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Queen Room with Balcony
- $50 Dining Credit at Either Jack's Waterfront Pub or The Greenroom Diner
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
One of Vancouver Island's top summer destinations, Tofino is hardly hibernating for winter. Sure, the swells of tourists who flock here from June to August to surf and soak up the long days have all but flown south, but this town of about 2,000 just north of Pacific Rim National Park still brims with eco adventure.
You'll have mostly to yourself at the Marina West Hotel. This whimsical waterfront hideaway is situated on the far western shores of Clayoquot Sound, just a short flight from Seattle or a scenic ferry ride and drive from Vancouver. Each cozy room features picture windows with either a water or courtyard view.
Winter in Tofino brings epic storms, and over the last several years it's become a popular destination for those in search of a tempest. On nice days, set out for an on-foot adventure, be it beachcombing the sandy shores of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada or avoiding sand traps at the nearby Long Beach Golf Course. And each March means a great migration of grey whales (upward of 20,000), which is celebrated in town during the Pacific Rim Whale Festival, held this year from March 17 to 25.
For dinner, the motel offers two excellent options. Jack's Waterfront Pub, overlooking the mountains of Clayoquot Sound, dishes up a hearty menu of pub favorites and a variety of other dishes. The Greenroom Diner serves up a similar menu, plus breakfast, but here you'll also get superb views of Browning Pass through wall-to-wall windows.
"Tofino combines the rugged Canadian frontier (the road ends here, literally) with the mellow vibe of a California surf town."-- Read Fodor's Review of Tofino

This year, I had a mother hive picked out, and on the day I needed to collect the brood to graft, I opened the hive and they came at me, so I moved to the next candidate. That one didn't, so that one got to be the mother. Mean bees are a pain and a liability.
When I open a hive, what I like to see and hear is a bit of a perk up, then an immediate calm down. You should be able to see and hear this. If there is an immediate and sustained loud buzz and a bunch of running around, know where the smoker is located. It comes with experience.

In July 1964, Jerry married Barbara Duke and they had two sons, Timothy and Thomas. Jerry was a loving grandfather to his three grandchildren. He enjoyed Saturday morning breakfast with grandson Taylor at McDonald's; his granddaughters, Jenith and Ella, loved to climb on Jerry's lap and tell him their secrets. He also enjoyed morning coffee with his friends and talking to folks around the country via his ham radio.
Jerry spent the last 15 months at the VA Medical Center in St. Cloud where he was treated for heart disease and dementia. He suffered a broken hip in November and contracted pneumonia a few days before he passed away.
Jerry is survived by his sons, Tim (Robin) Beske and Tom Beske, and grandchildren, Taylor, Jenith and Ella, all of Redwood Falls; his sister, Carol, of Titusville, Fla.; and many Hanson and Beske cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Donald; and his wonderful wife, Barbara, who passed away just a year ago this month.
Blessed be his memory.
Arrangements are with Nelson-Martin Funeral Service of Redwood Falls. Email condolences may be sent via www.nelsonmartinfuneralservice.com.

Million-dollar deal approved for old Colonial Theatre lot
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A million-dollar deal for what one official called "one of the hottest parcels in downtown Allentown" won an important stamp of approval Tuesday afternoon.
The Allentown Commercial and Industrial Development Authority signed off on an agreement of sale with developer J.B. Reilly's Center City Investment Corp. for the former Colonial Theatre lot in the 500 block of Hamilton Street.
The agreement for the .63-acre lot now must be approved by the Lehigh County commissioners and the city of Allentown.
Lehigh County, which owns 23.67 percent of the vacant property on Allentown's Hamilton Street, stands to gain $236,700 from the sale, while the authority, which owns the remainder, will get $763,300, according to the agreement.
ACIDA approved the sale of Colonial Theatre lot to City Center Investment Corp. in July.
City Center Investment Corp., one of the prime developers in the area where a new hockey arena is being constructed, is planning a 110,000-square-foot, five-story building with a 112 underground parking spaces.
The proposed building, called Three City Center, will have retail space on the ground floor and office space on the other four floors.
As part of the agreement of sale, Center City Investment will spend an additional $200,000 for streetscape and other public improvements along the 500 block of Hamilton.
Those improvements are over and above any that would be required of Center City to get development plan approval, said ACIDA solicitor Jerome Frank, who negotiated the deal.
Also, the agreement requires Center City to make arrangements for 263 parking spaces either at 7th and Linden streets or at an existing community lot at 6th and Linden streets, Frank said.
ACIDA and the county will get even more money if City Center decides to make that proposed building taller than the five stories now proposed.
The developer would pay $5 per rentable square foot for anything over the proposed 110,000 square feet, Frank pointed out.
After the agreement of sale is signed, Center City will have 150 days to close, and either 90 or 120 days to begin construction, Frank said.
Should Center City not begin construction on time or abandon the project after it is started, ACIDA and the county would reacquire the property, Frank said, adding that, "If they can't make it work, it's still one of the hottest parcel in downtown Allentown."
In other business, the authority agreed to a joint marketing plan for two parcels that now make up a tract of land that used to be the former Hess's employee parking deck along North 9th Street.
Potential buyers will now be offered one or both of the tracts by Realtor Jane Schiff.
The deck was demolished three years ago, and ACIDA owns about a half-acre of the tract and All-America Graphics a slightly larger portion, said authority executive director Scott Unger.
All-America Graphics no longer needs the amount of space for its business, Unger said.
The agreement with Schiff will last for six months, the authority decided.

All solid.
Not a horror fan at all, but think Session 9 is a great movie
No, especially V/H/S. I looked forward to that movie's release and it was very disappointing. Some of the stories were okay, though.
I kind of want to see more from Ti West. House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and his bit in V/H/S were not bad.
quote:I watched this tonight. Holy crap. We talked about it for an hour afterwards and this is the kind of movie we'll remember for a while
Not a horror fan at all, but think Session 9 is a great movie. It's under the horror genre, but I'm not sure how it fits among others in the genre. A more seasoned horror fan will have to chime in on its horror elements.

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 10/04/12
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

It's no surprise when a business deal begins to take shape during a golf outing.
Perhaps less common is the business deal that percolates during a youth football practice. But such was the case for Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson.
During a visit to former Varina High School football star Michael Robinson's football camp, Nelson was discussing with Robinson his excitement for the new Varina Library, whose opening last June was at that time forthcoming.

Quick question. How do you contain a couple of urban hives from swarming without splits? Yes, I've read about artificial swarming a hive, but I have 2 hives and maybe only have space for a third for next year (1st year beek). Won't have to worry about it this year, but was curious to know how others with limited space maintain their 2-3 hives without always creating more. Love the bees, just have limited space (and time).
Thanks for any advice

What a shame this fragrance-free moisturizer is packaged in a jar because New*Age Precision Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Day Cream is one of the better formulas for normal to dry skin from Marcelle. The issue with jar packaging is that it exposes delicate ingredient to degrading light and air, causing deterioration with each and every use, not to mention the hygiene issue jar packaging presents for water-based formulas like this. This formula contains enough light- and air-sensitive ingredients that the jar packaging is a problem.
In better packaging, this formula's antioxidant-rich emollients, fatty acids, and water-binding agents would be able to provide maximum benefit for skin, and that includes improving signs of aging. Of course, since this day cream lacks sun protection it's not suitable for use during daylight hours unless you follow with a product rated SPF 15 or greater, but it's still a good moisturizer that happens to be stuck in packaging that won't hold its key ingredients stable during use.
Note that this contains the mineral pigment mica for a shiny finish.
This rich, velvety firming cream fights the visible signs of ageing and improves skin's elasticity and suppleness. Wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet are less visible, leaving your skin feeling youthful and soft.

Marcelle At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; Marcelle provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site; drugstores that retail this brand provide testers, including makeup testers; almost every product is fragrance-free; some good cleansers and makeup removers; impressive eyeshadows; great lipsticks and lip glosses.
Weaknesses: The hypoallergenic claims are misleading because this claim isn't regulated and there are no standards governing its use; formaldehyde-releasing preservatives not recommended for those with sensitive skin; the anti-acne products are mostly alcohol, which is damaging to skin and can increase oil production, making acne worse; dated moisturizer formulas; some greasy cleansers; a general lack of state-of-the-art ingredients; foundations with sunscreen do not provide sufficient UVA protection; average to poor mineral makeup; no shades for those with tan or darker complexions; mostly lackluster mascaras.
Nestled among the flashier lines filling the shelves and display cases in Canadian drugstores is this unassuming, attractively priced skin-care and makeup product line. The packaging is simple and the message clear: These are "hypoallergenic and perfume-free," ergo great for sensitive skin. In reality the claim that these products are hypoallergenic isn't accurate in the least—much like Almay—but that claim is Marcelle's major selling point.
First, the term "hypoallergenic" is not regulated; that is, there are no standards in place for that term so a cosmetics company can attribute hypoallergenic to any product they want, regardless of the ingredients. The second point is that even the most scrupulous company, even if it takes the greatest care about what ingredients it includes in its products, simply cannot know what your skin may be allergic to. Marcelle showcases the elimination of "perfume," (aka fragrance) but fragrance is not the only potential culprit in a cosmetic formulation. And third, allergic reactions are not the primary problems that a cosmetic can impart to skin. Irritation is far more pernicious and, indeed, many of Marcelle's products contain ingredients that have a high potential for causing irritation, such as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, and Quaternium 15; one of their products even contains hydrochloric acid. (Can you believe that?!) Irritating skin-care ingredients not only cause free-radical damage but also lead to an increase in oil production in the pore and break down collagen.
Aside from the erroneous claims, Marcelle hasn't kept up to speed with their formulas in comparison to several other lines at the drugstore. You can easily find moisturizers from other lines that have far more elegant textures and formulas teeming with beneficial ingredients just not from Marcelle. Almost every product Marcelle sells is woefully out of date; their rudimentary formulas are akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer.
Color-wise, you'll find the foundation, concealer, and powder shade ranges are limited to those with fair to medium skin tones. Although it's great that the Marcelle displays provide testers for the makeup, much of it is better left alone. There are some high points, particularly the powder eyeshadows, lipstick, and lip glosses, but the mascaras are barely exciting, the pencils all need sharpening, and the powder blush fails to impress.
All told, Marcelle is best viewed as a line with a few sleeper products worth checking out at price points that won't stress most consumers' budgets, although a few dollars more will get you infinitely better options.

Here is how you can change your EC2 instance type through the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk).
- Follow the steps in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Getting Started Guide (available at http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/gsg/) to deploy the sample application or some application that does not require high memory or high CPU.
- Once you get to the 'View Application' step in the guide, make sure that the sample application is accessible.
- In the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Console, select the sample application that you just deployed from the drop down.
- Expand the 'Environment Details' section at the bottom of the page.
- On the 'Overview' tab of the 'Environment Details', select 'Edit Configuration'.
- On the 'Server' tab, change the 'EC2 Instance Type' to the one that best matches your application's needs.
- The existing EC2 instance(s) will be terminated and new EC2 instance(s), based on the new instance type, will be launched.
Deploy your Application
Now that we have an environment with a different EC2 Instance Type, let's deploy your application:
- In the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Console, select the sample application that you just deployed from the drop down.
- In the 'Environments' panel, click on the 'Actions' drop-down and select 'Deploy a Different Version'.
- In the 'Deploy a Different Version' dialog, select 'Upload and deploy a new version'.
- Provide the 'Version label' and choose the WAR file to upload.
- Click on 'Deploy Version'.
- The new WAR file will be deployed to your EC2 instance.
What happens if you deploy a High-CPU app into the default t1.micro environment?
Elastic Beanstalk regularly checks your running instances to ensure they are healthy. An application that consumes 95% or greater of the CPU may make the instance unresponsive to this health check. If after 1 minute an instance has not responded to its health check URL, Elastic Beanstalk will look at the CloudWatch CPU utilization. If CPU Utilization is greater than 95%, Elastic Beanstalk will log the following event: Instance '<instance id>' is experiencing CPU Utilization greater than 95.00%. Consider adjusting autoscaling settings or upgrading to an instance type larger than a 't1.micro'. To address this, you can either change to a larger instance type as outlined above or adjust auto-scaling settings to use CPU utilization instead of the default setting of Network Bandwidth In to determine when to add additional instances.

I just put 750 rounds of Remmington Golden Bullet HP 36 grain through my SR22. Only 1 fail to load due, I think, to loose stack in the mag. I did not tap the back of the mag after I loaded it. It was the last round in the mag. @ 7 yds I am placing all in the 8 ring or better. I was there for almost 2 hours for about $20 in ammo. I really like this pistol. Feels good, works well for me, I am getting better with it and the ammo is affordable. (Found the golden bullet in 525 for $16 after rebate) It's helping me with my 92fs flinching problem too.
Put 6 mags of 9mm through the 92fs for about the same $ and my accuracy is getting better. The 22 is really helping.

Woman killed, 2 injured after pickup plows into Hawthorne farmers market [video]
Update: Hawthorne man, 48, charged with vehicular homicide in farmer's market death
A woman was killed and at least two people were injured Sunday when a pickup truck plowed through a farmers' market, knocking down canopies and tables and scattering crates of fruits and vegetables across the pavement, authorities said.
The name of the dead woman was not immediately released, but Mayor Richard S. Goldberg said she was a local resident. She was dragged for four blocks after the initial impact in the market, and pronounced dead at the scene where the red pickup truck that hit her came to a stop.

The driver, whose identity was not immediately revealed, was taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson for evaluation because he was visibly upset, Police Chief Richard McAuliffe said.
"As of right now, he has not been charged," he said.
The mayor said the driver was being tested for alcohol and drug use, but added there was no obvious evidence inside the truck of any alcohol or drugs.
Goldberg said the accident was "something this town will not forget for a long time."
"It's unthinkable that you could drag someone that far and not notice," he added.
McAuliffe said of the farmers' market, "We've never had anyone get injured here — trip, fall," he said. "We've had not even like a medical emergency here in the five years that they had it."
Two people suffered injuries and were taken by ambulance to St. Joseph's and later released, McAuliffe said.
"It could have been worse," the mayor said, noting that the accident happened about 2:15 p.m., after the market's official 2 o'clock closing time. "I can't tell you how distraught I am over this."
There were only a few straggling customers making final purchases from the six or seven vendors still packing up at the end of the day; if the accident had happened any earlier there might have been more than 100 people there, Goldberg said.
Bailey Hildebrant of Hackettstown, an injured vendor who was taken to the hospital by ambulance, said she was hit on the right leg by a table that was knocked over by the truck. Friends followed her to the hospital and brought her back to the market after doctors put a cast on her right foot, she said.
"I really don't know why he didn't stop," the badly shaken Hildebrant said.
"I got knocked over and I saw my tomatoes flying in the air." She said she has been a vendor at the market every Sunday for the five years it's been in Hawthorne.
"I saw the person stuck under the tire, and he just took off. He didn't stop," said Blythe Roth of Teaneck, a vendor who had been packing up after selling baked goods from her stall for Tova's All Natural of Dumont. She said the driver was not swerving, but that he drove "straight through" the market and kept going.
"It literally happened just like that," said Ric McCarthy, 61, snapping his fingers. "I heard a noise and saw a blur of color, and the truck," said McCarthy, who was helping pack up equipment for a band that had played at the market. "There was a woman screaming for the truck to stop. It's one of those things that just happen in an instant."
At least three of the seven canopies still upright after closing time were damaged, one knocked over on its side and two others missing support poles. The pavement was strewn with crushed tomatoes and apples, along with crates and buckets. A woman's sandal was left at the scene on Grand Avenue near Jefferson Place, where the market was set up.
The truck finally came to a stop at Lafayette Avenue and Legion Place. Police closed Grand Avenue, Lafayette Avenue and many side streets for more than five hours after the accident. Shortly before 7 p.m., with the market area still littered with crushed tomatoes and blocked off by barricades and yellow police tape, officials finally gave about a dozen remaining vendors permission to pack up what was left of their stalls and leave.
The accident was being investigated by the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office, the Passaic County Sheriff's Office and local police.
The incident shook up a town that most residents describe as a quiet suburb, a place where children from other towns come to trick-or-treat on Halloween as their parents wait outside in their cars.
Many borough residents gathered around the market to seek information.
"I was just in shock, because you don't see this happen, any day," said Pete Arroyo, who lives above Andy's Corner on Lafayette Avenue, along the path where the victim's body was dragged.
"There's never been anything like this," said Greg DeLuca, another nearby resident.
McAuliffe said he, along with borough officials, would evaluate whether to continue with a classic car show scheduled for Aug. 24. The show would take place along with the farmers' market, in the parking lot behind Chase Bank on Lafayette Avenue, McAuliffe said.

Movie Review: Hyde Park On Hudson
Pleasant, uplifting and inconsequential. We miss the days of yore Bill Murray.
Director: Roger Michell
MPAA Rating: ®
Studio: Film Four, Free Range Films, Daybreak Pictures
We've got a couple of presidential bios on movie screens this season, what with the mammoth Lincoln and now the modest Hyde Park on Hudson, in which Bill Murray plays the New Deal–brokering, wheelchair-bound President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Richard Nelson's screenplay, directed by Roger Michell, makes for a cozy, coddling and meandering sort of movie. In fact, apart from a few discreet sex scenes involving the prez and his White House assistant and distant cousin, played by Laura Linney, the hagiographic thing sometimes reminds us of an old Hallmark Hall of Fame. You know: pleasant, pseudo-uplifting, inconsequential. The film is set mostly amidst lazy country drives, pleasant conversations and stagey scenes and at FDR's beautiful country home in New York in 1939 when POTUS is beset by problems domestic and international.
Under the eye of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (wittily played by Olivia Williams) and the president's secretary (Elizabeth Marvel), Linney's watchful but less-than-fascinating character becomes pretty much a household fixture—so much so that she becomes a firsthand observer when the Roosevelts play host to King George and Queen Elizabeth (Samuel West, Olivia Colman). It's mostly a ploy by the Brits to gain America's support for war with Germany, and these scenes are the liveliest and most absorbing in the film. Which isn't saying much.
A tamped-down Murray manages only a passable imitation of Roosevelt, but he's enjoyable. Linney is vapid in an undeveloped role; she and Murray generate zero chemistry. But not to worry: they'll be at work again, and, hopefully, not in a vaporous movie that evaporates while you're watching it.

Andre Santos says it was vital for Arsenal to keep their unbeaten run going at the weekend.
Arsenal made it 10 matches without defeat with a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Emirates Stadium as Thomas Vermaelen's late header rescued a point.
Santos believes the point was a positive one in the circumstances.
"It wasn't an easy game, Fulham have a quality team," he told Arsenal.com. "We tried hard even harder in the second half but unfortunately the second goal didn't come.
"We faced a very good opponent and maybe we didn't have our best performance but we still have the chance to keep up this good run we're having.
"The most important thing is that we didn't lose the game and the team showed spirit.
"It is very important to a team to keep a regular stable run and we are doing that, we're trying to accumulate as many points as we can now," he added. "There is still a long season ahead of us."
Kieran Gibbs' injury has seen the Brazilian stake his claim for Arsenal's left-back role and he impressed again on Saturday, despite feeling under the weather.
"For me it has been great and I do want to play every game," said Santos. "On Saturday I must say I was feeling tired but that is due to a cold I picked up.
"I couldn't really sleep well but I managed to control it in time and still have a good game. All I want to do is to keep working hard to maintain a good sequence of games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The 87 people biffed out of Eden Park during last weekend's cricket one-dayer against England were in good company.
The producer of the film that won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film was escorted from the Dolby Theatre during the Oscars ceremony on Monday for having the temerity to throw paper planes from her seat on the mezzanine floor.
I haven't seen the film Paperman, but apparently paper planes are central to the plot and it was in homage that Kristina Reed flew the planes as the director gave his acceptance speech.
After remonstrating with the security guards, who'd marched her from the theatre, Reed was allowed back in after a stern talking to.
The 87 loyal cricket spectators weren't given a second chance.
I reckon the fact they were at Eden Park at all, forking out actual cash for their tickets and the overpriced food and drink, all to watch this team NOT perform warrants them a medal for services to sport, not eviction.
Nobody was arrested, nobody was charged, so clearly none of the 87 people was breaking the law.
One man dressed in a pink rabbit suit was biffed out on his fluffy oversized ear for trying to start a Mexican wave; others were shown the door for turning their cardboard 4 and 6 signs into paper planes and throwing them round the stands.
Let's face it - they had to use the signs for something. They couldn't use them to celebrate anything the Black Caps had done.
If the ground's management don't want paper planes, perhaps Sally Ridge could be hired to hold little sheltered handicraft workshops around Eden Park, showing fans how to make lampshades or picture frames out of the signs.
I used to love going to live sports events and the fans were a big part of what would make or break a game. The energy, fun and colour a good fan base brings to an event is priceless. Just think back to the Tongan and Irish supporters during the Rugby World Cup.
It only seems to be Eden Park that employs fun police - the rest of the grounds around the country report a great atmosphere.
We'd better pray that Auckland doesn't ever wrangle the Sevens tournament off Wellington. If management employed the same pursed-lipped attitude to spectators at the Sevens as they did last weekend, there'd be nobody left in the stadium before the first game was over.

I have had 1 hive swarm 4 times. caught all four. swarm 1 is doing fine, swarm two looks to be queenless, swarm 3 I gave away, and swarm 4 is doing great too.
after catching swarm 2 I gave them a frame of brood from the mother hive to help them get started, and 9 frames of plastic foundation in a deep box. that was on 6/1. ( 4 weeks ago). They have barely drawn any new comb, and basically just sit on the 1 frame with comb that I gave them to start with. I haven't seen the queen, and no new brood, though it's hard because they sit so tightly packed on that 1 frame you can barely see the comb. I am fairly certain this hive is queenless. (did not return from mating flight?)
Swarm 4 is a week younger (3 weeks now). I put it in a deep with only 5 frames, flanked by campaign signs on either side.
Within 10 days they had those 5 frames almost completely drawn. all but the 2 outermost sides. I did see the queen then, but no brood. today two frames had nice half circle patterns of capped and open brood on both sides.
My plan for swarm 4 had always been to recombine it with whichever was weakest. And the plan was to use the newspaper method. But that was when I was still expecting the other hive to also have a queen.
Now that I have 5 frames with a queen laying nicely, and basically 1 and 2 half frames with comb, honey, and pollen in it, and a couple 1000 bees on it, can I just add those 3 frames and bees into the deep that has the 5 with the laying queen? Or do they still need some form of introduction separation?

Spotlight: UTSA Professor Thomas Bellows speaks on Taiwanese presidency at Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 30, 2009)--Thomas Bellows, UTSA professor of political science, was one of only four presenters selected from across the nation to speak recently before an international audience of scholars, government officials and foreign ambassadors at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.

Bellows' presentation, "Taiwan and the Global Economic Storm," addressed Taiwanese President Ma Ying-Jeou's time in office since his inauguration in May 2008.
"There was quite a bit of unhappiness with the previous president, partly because of corruption and the economy," said Bellows. "Suddenly this new president comes in and within months it appears the whole world economic system seems to be partially imploding. This president is a very honorable man, who is running up against an economic tsunami."
Bellows says the new president also is trying to assist the Taiwanese business community by creating closer economic ties with China. An improved relationship would allow Taiwan to export more products to China.
His presentation was published by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. In 2003, his monograph, "The Republic of China's Legislative Yuan: A Study of Institutional Evolution," was published by the Maryland Series in Contemporary Asian Studies.
Bellows has published extensively on Taiwan and has authored several academic articles on the politics and international relations of Asia. He is editor of the American Journal of Chinese Studies, has lived and conducted research in both Taiwan and Singapore, and received his doctoral degree from Yale University.
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a respected, national memorial to President Wilson, was established by Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, D.C. The nonpartisan institution is supported by public and private funds and engages in the study of national and world affairs. The center establishes and maintains a lively, neutral forum for free and informed dialogue.
The center's mission is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy and fostering research, study, discussion and collaboration among a full spectrum of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and world affairs.

Australia Plans "Big Brother" Seizure of S/N, Passwords, Emails, Text Msgs

Country claims Orwellian measures are necessary to fight "white collar crime"
Steve Dalby has a big problem. As the chief regulatory officer at Australian internet service provider iiNet Ltd. (
), he
Sydney Morning Herald
that his company is struggling sustain the $3M USD a month service the government is demanding to spy on its citizens.
I. Orwellian Plan Could Cost Telecoms $3M USD a Month
Other service providers like Telstra Comp., Ltd. (
) are flat-out refusing to comply saying the government order to spy on everything from a user's Google Inc. (
) searches to storing the numbers involved in their encrypted payments via eBay, Inc.'s (
) PayPal is not only a gross invasion of privacy -- it's also likely illegal.
Security director Darren Kane told the
, "We cannot capture or provide any metadata or any content around something like Gmail because it is Google-owned, it is offshore and it is over the top of our network. The real value of what we might have in a data retention scheme would be greatly diminished as soon as the organised criminals and potential terrorists knew that we were not capturing that data."
Australia wants to "watch" its citizens' every digital communications. [Image Source: DeviantArt]
But that's precisely what the
Australian Securities and Investment Commission
(ASIC) wants access to full access to all user metadata, including usernames and passwords. It also wants to intercept and store copies of citizens' emails, social media chats, and text messages.
ASIC officials claim that handing ubiquitous spy powers to government regulators will help the ASIC fight
"white collar crime"
. But collecting the information may actually create criminal opportunity, as Telstra points out. And industry officials suggest that the plan could cost up to $400M USD to put in place, plus potentially tens, if not hundreds of millions a month to maintain a full watch over users' data.
II. U.S. Presidential Candidates are Eyeing Similar Efforts
Australia is a pretty punitive nation when it comes to internet law enforcement, having been
among the few to contemplate a "strikes" plan
to disconnect users' internet. But it's far from alone. The Obama and Bush administrations both
worked to
frameworks to allow
ubiquitous spying
. This is unlikely to change as both the current President and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have defending domestic spying.
Mr. Romney expressed a viewpoint narrowly in line with the President's plugging warrantless wiretaps in an interview, stating, "If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that's exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people. And I hear from time to time people say, 'Hey, wait a sec, we have civil liberties to worry about', but don't forget... the most important civil liberty I expect from my government is my right to be kept alive."
Much like Australia, the U.S. is currently considering heaping a plan to
sever "frequent" pirates' internet
on top of the growing framework of non-transparent, warrantless surveillance methods.
In both nations the big pushback is coming from interne service providers and internet software service providers like Google.

"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

If you think about it, when Brian Boitano was younger (leading right up to the season before the 1988 Olympics) people were saying he was a jumper but not much of an artist. He then went to Sandra Bezic for his Olympic year choreography. The right packaging made him unforgettable. I think Ross has gorgeous basic skating skills, and with the right packaging and a little more experience, he just may have a chance to be another unforgettable skater from the US. He certainly has the basic skating skills and CONSISTENCY to build from!
Will now Ross land his quad salchow on a regular basis? I don't know. I also thought after Finlandia , theat Dornbush, who blew me away there with his free skate, will now have the quad in the bag, and look at him now...he keeps falling.
IMO, Miner and Dornbush have equal chances at US Nationals, both seems to land all their triples and attempt the quad in both programs, with one landed at an ISU conpetiition.
I personally prefer Dornbush, artistically, I think his potenatial is higher than Ross, if he goes clean, not to speak about the fact that he attepts 2 quads.
