California Communities Against Fracking
Join us for the Cautionary Tales of Fracking Tour!
Global Exchange is excited to announce the upcoming rally in March for the Cautionary Tales of Fracking Tour in California, spurred by the Stop the Frack Attack Network (STFA), of which Global Exchange is a steering committee member! We have amazing speakers planned including Pramilla Malick, Shane Davis, Deborah Cipolla Dennis and Rod Brueske.
The tour will start off March 15 in Sacramento with a huge rally at the capital. Busses are being organized to bring residents from all over to join the rally. The tour then leaves the capital for the real houses of power—affected communitiesin Fresno, Kern County and Los Angeles. Global Exchange will be mobilizing our members to participate, and we are also leading trainings at each tour stop on how to pass a local ordinance to ban fracking and assert community rights.
Wanna join the rally? Contact Barbara Stebbins at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Getting Down with the Global Frackdown, Year 2
California Communities Successfully Rose Against Fracking!
After months of planning with our tour partners and local community hosts, the Earth week California Communities Rising Against Fracking tour seemed to fly by. Although expectations were high, we couldn't have predicted how much our message and speakers would resonate with California residents from Chico to San Diego (and beyond). In total, we brought together 18 speakers on the road: each stop was tailored specifically to meet local needs and assist local efforts. In San Diego, our youngest fractivist ever took the stage.
We spoke to well over 1,000 people - standing room only in most communities (and two local events for another 400). We've also been inundated with new requests from Mt. Shasta to Palm Springs. We signed up over 100 local volunteers to assist with moving their campaigns forward. We engaged with 1 state senator, 2 mayors, 7 city council members and 2 Democratic Convention delegates. Check out Doug Shields addressing Culver City Council here!
And to keep the rest of the public updated on our travels, we hit the local airwaves and mainstream media and blogosphere before during and after the tour. For a good report back of the tour on San Jose, check out the podcast. We had a lot of fun, good conversations, met new friends and were even serenaded in Chico by Los Caballitos de cancion!
A special appreciation to our special guests, former Pittsburgh City Councilman Doug Shields, who led his community to pass the first ever local rights-based ban in the country, and his wife Briget Shields who works with affected communities in PA and beyond through Marcellus Protest. Together this dynamic duo helped Californians hold up a mirror to our frightening future if we don't stand up to Big Oil and Gas, and at the same time demonstrated the power of local organizing to become "Frack-Free". They were inspiring, tireless and in-demand wherever we went.
With their help at the Culver City Council, and following a special Fracking Democracy School, we deepened our organizing, where residents are putting forward a rights-based charter amendment to ban fracking:
In San Luis Obispo, our Town Hall presenting a rights-based ordinance was filled to overflowing, as City Councilman John Ashbaugh said "I haven't seen that many people gathered around an environmental issue in over a decade." Four municipalities in the county are exploring passing a similar ordinance.
And in Santa Barbara, following a Democracy School and a crowded public event, residents have decided to work with Global Exchange explore what a rights-based ordinance could mean for their community.

I look behind the grill but there isn't much room and the cross bars on the grill wouldn't let much light through.

Reviews of this property
We had a bad experience at this place. We were 11 people who shared 1 bathroom.
We lived in the room for 5 days, and the bathroom was only cleaned one time.
The Windows in our room was leaking, and it was wery cold at the room.
I can´t recommand this Apartment.
But I can resommand Wimdu, which has provided a good service before our stay.
I'm still a lil new to booking places to stay so I admit didn't realize we shared a bathroom. That aside, the Presedential Suite was large and kept comfortably heated. Going up the stairs to the room smelled off and that did not really set a good first impression. The rooms were all clean but the shower was possessed, couldn't make up its mind to be hot or cold and rhe lights in the bathroom flickered. The plus sude was that buses stop literally at our front door so was easy to hop on one. Overall, we got what we paid for but was a lil disappointed.
We had a great experience at Sidney's place. Sidney gave very detailed information so that we had no trouble finding it. The apartment is large and old, but nice and cosy at the same time. Our room was the biggest. Everything worked well and the transport links were really good. We would recommend everyone who is planning to visit London to stay at Sidney's place.
Apartment ok, good price / quality ratio
Appartement correct, bon rapport qualité/prix
Thanks a lot for the accomodation. The room is simple but clean, the apartment is taken care of by Mrs. Vera very nicely. New Cross Road is very noisy (as is whole London) so one needs some tolerance but all in all we were very happy.
The apartment is great and clean. In the kitchen is everything you need. The location for London really central, you can take the bus, which stops in front of the house or with the Overground train, within walking distance in 5 minutes, directly across hinfahren.Nicht so well it worked with the keys. That was not to be found in the postbox, we had to call and let us by giving a code for the apartment. And the room Presidential Suite Dental is nothing to sleep for noise sensitive. It is right to the main road, the windows are not abgedichtet.Die decor of the room is rather spartan, 1 bed and 2 mattresses, 1Kleiderständer, 2Tische and 4 chairs.
Die Wohnung ist toll und sauber. In der Küche ist alles, was man braucht. Die Lage für Londoner Verhältnisse wirklich zentral, man kann mit dem Bus, der vor dem Haus hält oder mit der Overgroundbahn, fußläufig in 5 min zu erreichen, direkt überall hinfahren.Nicht so gut hat das mit der Schlüsselübergabe geklappt. Der war nicht in der Postbox zu finden, wir mußten erst telefonieren und uns einen Code für die Wohnung durchgeben lassen. Und das Zimmer Präsidental Suite ist nichts zum Schlafen für Geräuschempfindliche. Es liegt direkt zur Hauptstrasse, die Fenster sind nicht abgedichtet.Die Einrichtung des Zimmers ist eher spartanisch, 1 Bett und 2 Matrazen, 1Kleiderständer, 2Tische und 4 Stühle.
Conveniently located with bus stop in front and close to the train station .The old windows, outside air enters the room. We have not met the Amfitrion in person, but answer the phone and speak Spanish. Overall good.
Bien situado ,con parada de autobuses en frente y cerca de la estación de trenes .Las ventanas antiguas, entra el aire de fuera en la habitación. No hemos conocido al amfitrion en persona, pero contesta al teléfono y habla español. En general bien.
On the host I do not have much to say because I have not had a relationship with her, only and exclusively by email, but in respect to the house if I would comment that the pictures do not correspond to reality we have lived, it has not since been accommodation looked at the pictures, as there is an apartment if not a room we stayed 4 people. Found room in an apartment with 4 more rooms in which 4 people per room is also housed, and only has 1 bathroom for all the guests, the house is old and needs updating, has good communication by bus and train.
Sobre el anfitrión no tengo mucho que comentar ya que no he tenido relación con ella, solo y exclusivamente por email, pero respecto a la casa si me gustaría comentar que las fotos no corresponden con la realidad que hemos vivido, ya que no ha sido el alojamiento que parecía en las fotos, ya que no se trata de un apartamento si no de una habitación en la que nos hemos alojado 4 personas. Habitación que se encuentra en un piso de con 4 habitaciones más en las que también se alojan 4 personas por habitación, y solo dispone de 1 cuarto de baño para todos los huéspedes , la casa esta vieja y necesita una reforma, tiene buena comunicación en autobús y tren de cercanías.

Medicare Offerings For Seniors
Medicare offerings are a popular topic because this great state has a lot of retiring seniors in its communities. Some opt for the traditional Medicare plans, while others prefer Medicare Advantage or Medicare HMO plans. There are pros and cons to both, and this article can help to explain what some of them are.
Traditional Medicare is part of the benefits that most seniors receive when they reach the age of 65. These benefits assist in paying for medical expenses, and the cost of the plan comes out of social security benefits. This plan can be great for a senior who does not visit the doctor often and does not take many prescription medications and can even be upgraded to have comprehensive coverage with a Medicare supplement plan. Medigap plans work with your Medicare coverage to provide you with a more complete solution. You can get quotes for these private insurance plans from many websites but our favorite site for Medicare supplement quotes is CompareMedicareSupplements.net. Another option for those with health care needs is a Medicare Advantage plan.
Medicare Advantage plans provide services to seniors for a small co-pay. Some plans are even free from co-pays, but they are typically more expensive. These plans often also include prescription benefits, which can be a huge advantage to those seniors taking several medications on a regular basis. While these plans can be a bit more expensive in premiums than traditional Medicare, the savings can more than offset the higher premiums for seniors who visit the doctor a lot.
To decide which plan is right for you, take the time to research several. Most private insurance companies offer Medicare Advantage plans, so you have a lot to choose from. You can research the products online or make a call to a friendly customer service representative. Taking the time to look into all of your options will help you to make an educated choice that saves you the most every month.
Medicare continues to be a popular subject for seniors, and for good reasons. The cost savings offered by Medicare supplements and Medicare Advantage plan are certainly worth looking into, as they can save you money and help you to get the health care provisions you truly need.

The Semillon hits the nose with minerality right off the bat while the Sauvignon Blanc brings brightness and a touch of fruit aroma. The palate opens with beautiful kiwi and grapefruit then moves into the vanilla and spice notes from the barrel. The wine rounds out with a creamy mouth feel and slight touch of lemon pudding leading into the long, brilliant finish.

CDC Requirement:
Prior to disseminating new HIV prevention messages through pictorials, audiovisuals, questionnaires, survey instruments, marketing advertising, educational sessions, and brochures, community-based organizations, local health departments, or state agencies that receive Centers for Disease Control and Prevention HIV prevention funding and participate in health-related promotions must determine whether those materials have already been formally approved by the Oregon Program Review Panel (OPRP).
Step 1: Check the OPRP Approved Materials List (Local Health Departments and Community-Based Programs complete this step)
If the materials have been OPRP approved statewide and appear on the "Approved List," agencies do not have to participate in the LPRP process and are free to disseminate the materials within their service area.
If materials have not been reviewed by OPRP, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Submit Materials to the LPRP to review new HIV Prevention Education Materials.
Prior to submitting materials for review, you must download and review the LPRP Guidelines (pdf), the LPRP Submittal Form Instruction Page (pdf), and the LPRP Submittal Form (pdf).
After reading the information from those forms, please complete all of the requested information on the LPRP Submittal Form and send the completed form, along with the materials that need to be reviewed to your local health department that is convening the Local Program Review Panel (LPRP).
Agencies that are submitting materials for review are required to complete all information requested on the LPRP Submittal Form and include a copy of the materials that are to be reviewed directly to your local health department that is convening the Local Program Review Panel.
Local Health Department staff must:
NOTE: Agencies submitting HIV prevention curriculum must highlight only the components of the curriculum (those that contain prevention/education messages) that are to be reviewed by the LPRP. For convenience and efficiency, agencies are asked to submit these requests electronically whenever possible.
Step 3: Local Program Review Panel Approval/Disapproval Process
Upon receipt of the completed submittal form and copies of the materials to be reviewed, local health department staff will send materials to the LPRP for review.
Please refer to the LPRP Submission Instructions for a listing of the information considered in the LPRP review process.
If DISAPPROVED, agencies will receive a document that outlines why the materials were not accepted for dissemination in Oregon. Agencies will be asked to address these issues if they wish to adapt materials for an additional review.
If APPROVED, agencies may use the materials immediately upon notification by their Local Health Department staff.
Step 4: Approved materials added to the Approved List
Upon approval, your local health department staff will add those materials to the "Approved List" of LPRP-approved materials that are available to use in the service area of the Local Health Department that convened the LPRP. If a staff member from the Oregon HIV Prevention Program reviewed the approved materials, Warren Scott will add those materials to the "Approved List" of the OPRP materials that are available to use in Oregon.

Re: what can i use instead of suet
It has been suggested that if it is necessary to find a substitute for suet, you can take lard, freeze it, and then grate it before putting it into the recipe. The same thing could also be done with vegetable shortening.

Re: what can i use instead of suet
My last answer on this post was the same day last year what a coincidence..
I've once again arrived at the crucial moment where the recipe tell's me to use the dreaded (for me) 'suet' not remembering if i used lard or butter..i looked up this thread where Geoff said that i was being 'squeamish' i would'nt mind him repeating the same thing this year at all.......
Well it's butter, so i'm returning to my mince meat now.

Re: what can i use instead of suet
Spent another day trying to track down ready-prepared gluten-free suet, and hit a brick wall. So today, I bit the bullet and headed to my butcher and have come away with free (they don't charge for it!) suet. There should be enough to use in my mincemeat, and some over to render into tallow to cook with and to give away as Christmas presents.

Re: what can i use instead of suet
Sadly, Mummza, it looks as though I'll be stuck with the butcher from now on in as eating vegetable-oil (including sunflower, rapeseed, grapeseed, groundnut, etc) based foods, or foods cooked in the oils leaves me with horribly arthritic-feeling joints - I seem to be stuck with animal fats and olive oil (extra-virgin only, as well ) from now on in...
Update: using proper raw suet is a doddle - no smell, no nasty texture - really easy to do, and won't hesitate to use it again. It even tastes neutral (yes, I did try a little bit ), so shouldn't affect the taste of the mincemeat in any way

Re: what can i use instead of suet
I don't know if I'd chew on raw suet if I were you. I don't actually know this, but a lump of raw fat from the abdomen of a dead animal doesn't seem like a healthy snack. The stuff in boxes has been rendered, so it's sterile - you can eat it straight from the box if you want. Mmm... chewy fat...
But hey, if chewing raw fat is your extreme sport, who am I to judge? I drive a car regularly, which is far more dangerous. I'm trying to kick the habit, but you know how it is, you step out, it's sitting there, all shiny and stuffed with juicy fossil fuel...

Excerpt: "There were plenty of things that went wrong in the New York Giants' title defense in 2012.
This week we are taking a look at five issues that kept the Giants from making it back to the playoffs one season after winning it all. Weve already looked at the pass rush, Corey Websters struggles and the Giants missing intangibles. Today we explore the impact of Hakeem Nicks' injuries.
The numbers: Nicks finished third on the Giants with 53 receptions, notching 692 yards and three touchdowns. It was the first time in three seasons that Nicks did not have at least 76 receptions, 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns in a season.
The reasons: Nicks season got off to a painful start when he fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the teams second OTA in late May.
He had surgery and was brought along slowly during training camp. But he missed valuable offseason and training camp reps with Eli Manning.
Nicks didnt look like himself from the start as he played with pain in his foot and acknowledged it would take awhile for him to regain his old form.
In Week 2, Nicks exploded for 10 receptions for 199 yards and one touchdown, but landed hard on his knee late in the fourth quarter. The Giants opted to rest Nicks with a Thursday night game at Carolina. But despite the week off, Nicks knee experienced swelling before the Giants Week 4 game at Philadelphia.
Nicks ended up sitting out three straight games - he said he was initially told he may have needed up to eight weeks of rest -- before returning to action.
Nicks attempted to play through the pain but wasnt able to practice most of the time, and Manning admitted that negatively affected the offenses timing.
On top of that, a hobbled Nicks wasnt able to explode and release the way he normally can." Read more...

Tech Watch: iPad & Apple TV
We give you the low down on today's product launches from Apple.
With its typical Apple event fanfare, the secretive tech mogul (and world's most valuable company) launched its newest must-have devices this afternoon: an updated 4G iPad and the undated Apple TV set top device (read: Apple TiVo)
Speculation in recent weeks has ranged from projection devices to an announcement of a much-rumored Apple-built television set (said to be foreshadowed in Walter Isaacson's biography of late co-founder Steve Jobs). The air cleared just over a week ago as the media invites went out featuring an iPad image and the tagline: "We have something you really have to see." Here's our breakdown of the updates:
Courtesy of Apple
Product: The new iPad (creative, yes? – we'll still call it the iPad 3, just saying)
Wi-Fi: 16GB ($499), 32GB ($599), 64GB ($699)
Wi-Fi + 4G LTE: 16GB ($629), 32GB ($729), 64GB ($829) - (upgraded from 3G)
Display Quality: High-resolution Retina (2048-by-1536-pixels at 264 ppi) – (same resolution as iPhone 4S)
Chip: A5X (approximately 4 times faster than the iPad 2)
Colors: Black + White
US Carriers: AT&T + Verizon
Bluetooth: 4.0 (upgraded from 2.1)
iSight (back) camera: 5MP
Auto focus, tap to focus, Video recording HD (1080p) – (upgraded from 720p) Video stabilizing (new feature)
FaceTime (front) camera: VGA quality (0.3MP is still not great though)
Verdict: It looks nice, performs faster, and shoots higher quality; but still not worth ditching your laptop for at these prices.
To check out the Apple TV update, click below.
Courtesy of Apple
Product: Apple TV aka. Apple TV HD - (continuity is always useful - except for the fact Apple will have some problems when the actual Apple TV comes out)
Resolution: 1080p - (upgraded from 720p - bring on more expensive iTunes, Netflix, etc. shows and movies)
Connectivity: Apple's Cloud wireless virtual content system allows for streaming between all of your Apple devices using AirPlay
Color: Black - (who really needs a colorful set-top box anyway)
Controller: Use your aforementioned iPod, iPad, or iPhone using Remote App
Price: $99
Verdict: If you already have the other members in the Apple family. The price point is decent for the features it offers.

Excellent question. Of my top 7 producers, 4 were splits with new B. Weaver queens. 1 was an older purebred Purvis. 2 were Weaver Mutts, walk away splits last year. The other 15 producers were 8 new B. Weaver queens this year (either splits, or requeened) and 7 mutts, all walk-away splits last year.
This year, with no money for new queens (and no real need because of requeening and new queens last year), I plan to do mainly walk-away splits.

WOO HOO!!!! I'm a very happy camper!!
Just checked the colonies for the first time this year. First the caveat...in post 98 I indicated I entered Fall/winter 2011 with 34 live colonies - was actually only 32. 4 at home, 21 in one out-apiary, and my 7 Russians in another out-apiary. I lost only 2 this winter! That is a paltry 6 per cent loss. Of the remaining 30, I have to feed 5, as they feel very light. All the others are very heavy with stores still, and all bees are bringing in pollen. So, we'll see what this year brings. May you all have such good fortune!
and this is treatment free, on large-cell foundation or foundationless.

Great news! I do hope that my fortunes are as good as yours but will not count on it yet. Old man winter may still have a trick or two up his sleeve. So far, it is looking very good for me as well.
When you stop learning you're dead.
Great job. Look forward to hearing more.
I wish I could take all the credit, but the reality is, the success is more than likely due to the genetics and quality of the bees.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
What advice would you give to newbees wanting to do what you're doing?
I've been giving it in most of my posts, Sol!
1. Buy your bees/queens from a breeder who does not treat. Period. No kind of treatment for mites, not even soft.
2. Do not treat. No matter what anyone says, IF you've done #1. You don't even have to do mite counts, IF you've done #1. And perhaps this is my greatest heresy - I've never done a mite count. Never plan to. I figure my colonies have mites, but the bees know what to do. After all, I've bought "survivors".
3. Don't try anything fancy the first year or two...go with the basics, Langstroth equipment, basic management skills. Learn to keep your bees alive. Master the basics. You can pick up an old bee book cheap, read it and master it. In the second or third year you can begin to play around, if you wish. Too many forget it is the basics that do more than anything else to help a colony thrive.
4. Realize you are going to lose hives. So what? Everyone does. Get over it, do a post mortem on the dead hive, learn from it, start over.
5. As soon as you feel comfortable, go without gloves. That will lessen your fear of the bees, make your movements more deliberate, and make you more confident. Yes, you're going to get stung. So what? They're honeybees for heaven's sake. (if for some reason your health mitigates against this, ignore this point.)
Sol, rightly or wrongly, I think most newbies latch onto the latest fad in beekeeping, when more losses are caused by mismanagement and simply failing to master the basics. As most of us who have been around a bit know, there is no magic bullet. Beekeeping is hard work today. But man alive, it sure is fun and rewarding!
More than anything else, I attribute my success to the genetics of my bees, and the various sources from which I've acquired them.
By the way, I got my first arthritis treatment of the year yesterday. Even let the stinger pump all the venom into my left hand...I guess I'm becoming masochistic...oh...wait! Beekeepers are by nature masochistic!

There's always new newbees. Some things bear repeating, concisely and directly.
I also got my first stings of the year this past week. Not nearly as painful as the first of the season usually are.
I think my bees do all the hard work and I appreciate them not stinging me when I steal the fruits of their labor.
Don't you feel not treating reduces most of the work a beekeeper has to do?

Some, by no means most.
Mark Berninghausen
By not treating, I don't spend time on acquiring and installing chemicals. Nor do I spend time on mite counts, or anything else related to treating or mites. Having never done those things, I don't know how much time I've saved, but know I have saved some. From the pros here, I've learned how to inspect a hive by watching the entrance. Minimizes the number of times I have to open the colony. Experience also teaches the time of the year I must get into the hive.
And of course there are those times when I simply need my fix, and go thru a colony.

I'm not sure if he's right or wrong but I think it was Roger Moore that stated that the stinger dumps basically all of it's venom at the time of the sting and that the pumping action seen is not actually pumping venom but is the barbed stinger digging deeper to give the venom a deeper entryway.
Mechanically that doesn't seem possible.

You're probably right, bird. Morse is the only person I've heard mention that. Here is a link to what Dave Cushman presented on his website regarding the sting/stinger...nice drawings and info...
Well, now I'm beginning to wonder if it was Morse that may the statement above...I'll have to keep digging to find that one....or else I dreamed it up!

From what I've read, the pumping action continues to shove the barbed stinger deeper, at the same time it pumps venom into the "victim."
But the reality is, it takes a certain amount of foolishness to stand there and watch the venom sac do it's work. I didn't have my reading glasses on, so didn't get a good view of what was going on, but the stinger sac seemed to change from beginning to end of the pumping cycle. Seemed to whiten up and flatten out towards the end, before I scraped it off.

Crazy Roland - met him this past summer, neat guy, 5th (I think) generation beekeeper. Went out of his way to drop by and talk bees.
Grant - doesn't post much, lives 90 miles from me, met him, bought his e-book. Makes a lot of sense, always enjoy him.
Mike Bush - don't need to say much about Mike and his value to our craft. To those who haven't checked out and read his web site, do so.
Sqkcrk (Mark) - Another beekeeper whose work mentors newbies with solid guidance and counsel.
Ted Kretschmann - a couple of years ago Ted and I got into a discussion here on the forum about commercial beekeepers going treatment free. We have a steak dinner riding on a bet. I said it would happen in 10 years, he said it would take longer. When I retire and have time to drive down to see Ted, I'm going to collect that steak, or have a good time paying off on the wager.
I really regret not having time or space to list all the others. But for the newcomers to our craft, get and read anything by Richard Taylor, also the two "Bibles" - ABC's of Beekeeping, and The Hive and the Honey Bee. And subscribe to at least one of the magazines.
Again, there are others, (ah, like Walt Wright!) but my mind has gone blank this morning...

Comme des Garçons Fall 2012
It's hard to write about Rei Kawakubo's fall collection without sounding pretentious. But the thunderous, ten-minute round of applause which ended her show—people were clapping until their hands were sore, and then some started stamping their feet—is proof of the overwhelming gratitude the audience felt for seeing her raise the endeavor of fashion onto a different plane. This season she was working an extended essay in flat, oversize shapes, and pure, lovely color, and pattern. "Two dimensions are the future" were the only enigmatic words she had for it. There's no real point in trying to fathom what she meant by that. "I don't know," said her husband, Adrian Joffe, afterward. "She is just always trying to do something with clothes which hasn't been done before."
Not quite knowing what you were seeing was part of the delight, an experience which threw the audience into a rare state of purely visual response, where the usual foreground preoccupations about message, wearability, and trends dropped away, and the brain clicked onto a trancelike level of just looking. At first it seemed to be an exercise in beautiful, solid color—red, pink, lavender, cerulean blue—saturating huge, seamless shapes which were placed onto the body almost like abstract pieces of flat garment patterns, with seam allowances left in. Coats, jackets, and jodhpurs in some dense, pressed, apparently felted fabric were free of any fastenings; the silhouettes extended beyond the boundaries of the body, and the sleeves hung behind curviform skirts.
Then, pattern began to appear: graphic jigsaws of camouflage, leopard spots, polka dots, and checkerboards, graffitied over with flowers. Somewhere in the middle, chintzy roses emerged as well as a group of models who were smothered in floral prints, masks, hoods and all. They were followed by prints of a different kind, where the outline of a "normal-size" dress would be placed in the center of a giant coat, followed by squiggly cloudlike forms, which then transferred themselves into pink-and-blue collaged cutouts.
The emotional reaction to taking all this in went somewhere deeper than the intellectual. It called up a sense of childlike freedom and enjoyment—memories, maybe, of spontaneous preschool play with fuzzy felt shapes, paper cutouts, and the paintbox. At another level—the knowing one, where the fashion eye is on the lookout for links with other current dialogues—it connected up with the exuberant, oversize shapes and nutty, body-obliterating forms seen at Marc Jacobs and in some of the young designers' shows in London. Rei Kawakubo, on her separate plane of creativity, took it all into the realms of an art experience. It was heartwarming and pure and offered as uplifting a pleasure as anything fashion has seen this winter. And there's nothing at all pretentious about that.

There's more to changing a switch than connecting a few wires. You have to check grounding and box size for a safe, first-class job. It's easy to install a dimmer switch, but make sure to upgrade the wiring if necessary to make it safer and meet Electrical Code requirements. We'll show you how to assure a safe installation.
Turn off the power at the main circuit panel. Hold the tip of a non-contact voltage detector near each screw terminal to be sure the power is off. Then unscrew the switch and pull it from the box.
It doesn't take long to replace an ordinary light switch with a full-feature dimmer. But while you're at it, to make your home safer, you should upgrade the wiring to meet the latest requirements of the National Electrical Code. Our step-by-step instructions will show you how to install the dimmer, concentrating on details that will guarantee a safe installation.
The tools you'll need are inexpensive and will come in handy for all your electrical projects. You'll need a screwdriver, wire stripper, inexpensive voltage tester and needle-nose pliers to install a dimmer.
To begin, turn off the power and double-check for hot wires in the box. Turn on the light and have a helper watch as you switch off the circuit breakers, or unscrew the fuses one at a time until the light goes out. Leave this circuit turned off while you work.
In Photo 1, we're using a non-contact voltage detector to double-check for voltage before removing the switch. These detectors are available at hardware stores and home centers. I prefer this type of tester because it'll detect voltage without direct contact with the metal conductor. That's huge—it means you can check potentially hot wires before you handle them.
After you unscrew the switch and pull it away from the box, probe around inside the box with the detector to make sure there are no other hot wires from another circuit.
Caution: Call an electrician if the original switch is connected to two white wires. This may indicate a dangerous switched neutral.
If you have aluminum wiring, don't mess with it! Call in a licensed pro who is certified to work with it. This wiring is dull gray, not the dull orange that's characteristic of copper.
Measure the height, width and depth of metal boxes and refer to Figure A to determine the box volume. Plastic boxes have their volume stamped inside.
Too many wires and devices stuffed into a box can cause dangerous overheating, short circuiting and fires. The National Electrical Code specifies minimum box sizes to reduce this risk.
To figure the minimum box size required by the electrical code, add: 1 for each hot and neutral wire entering the box, 1 for all the ground wires combined, 1 for all the clamps combined, and 2 for each device (switch or receptacle) installed in the box. Multiply this figure by 2 for 14-gauge wire and 2.25 for 12-gauge wire to get the minimum box volume in cubic inches.
To help determine the gauge of the wire in your switch box, look at the amperage of the circuit breaker or fuse in the main electrical panel. Fifteen-amp circuits are usually wired with 14-gauge wire and 20-amp circuits require 12-gauge or heavier wire.
Compare the figure you get with the volume of your existing box. Plastic boxes have the volume stamped inside, usually on the back. Steel box capacities are listed in the electrical code. We've listed the volume of the most common steel boxes in Figure A.
If you have a steel box, measure it (Photo 2) and consult the chart to see if it's large enough. If your box is too small, replace it with a larger one. It's possible to replace a box without cutting away the wall, but it's a tricky job. I'd recommend just removing about a 16-in. square of drywall or plaster and patching it after the new large box is installed.
Tip: If the circuit breaker is labeled "15 amp, " the wires are probably 14-gauge, or 12-gauge for 20-amp circuit breakers.
Height/width/depth (inches) Volume (cubic inches)
3 x 2 x 2-1/4 10.5
3 x 2 x 2-1/2 12.5
3 x 2 x 2-3/4 14.0
Test for a ground. Turn the power back on. Then place the leads of a voltage tester between each screw terminal and the metal box. If the tester lights, the box is grounded.
Caution: Turn off the power again before proceeding.
New dimmers have either a green grounding wire or a green ground screw that you'll have to connect to a grounding source if one is available. Houses wired with plastic-sheathed cable almost always have bare copper ground wires that you'll connect to the dimmer. But test first using the procedure shown in Photo 3 to verify that the wire is connected to a ground.
Some wiring systems, like ours, rely on metal conduit for the ground. If you have one of these systems, Photo 3 shows how to test the metal box to verify that it's grounded. If it is, attach a short ground wire to the metal box with either a metal grounding clip as shown in Photos 4 and 5 or a green grounding screw screwed into the threaded hole in the back of the box. Then connect it to the dimmer.
If testing reveals your box isn't grounded, you can still install the dimmer, but you must use a plastic cover plate and make sure no bare metal parts are exposed.
Press a grounding clip and 6-in. length of bare copper wire onto the metal box with a screwdriver. Cut away a little bit of drywall under the box to provide clearance for the clip.
Bend the ground wire back onto the clip and squeeze it down tight so it won't interfere with the dimmer switch.
Clip off the bent end of each wire with the wire cutter. Strip 3/8 in. of insulation from the end of the wires.
Hold the wires together with the stranded wire protruding about 1/8 in. beyond the solid wire. Match the size of the wire connector you're using to the size and number of wires being connected. Check the manufacturer's specifications on the package to be sure. Twist a plastic wire connector clockwise onto the wires to connect them. Stop twisting when the connector is snug.
Fold the wires neatly into the box. Screw the dimmer to the box with the screws provided. Finish the job by installing the cover plate and turning on the power to test the new dimmer.
Some dimmers, like the one we're installing, have stranded wires attached. Photos 7 and 8 show how to install this type of dimmer. Others have screw terminals instead. For these, strip 3/4 in. of the insulated covering from the wires in the box and bend a loop in each with needle-nose pliers. Place the loop clockwise around the screw terminals and close the loop around the screws with the needle nose pliers. Then tighten the screws.
It doesn't matter if you reverse the two switch wires to a single-pole dimmer. But if you're replacing a three-way switch with a three-way dimmer, label the "common" wire (it'll be labeled on the old switch) when you remove the old switch so you can connect it to the "common" terminal on the dimmer.
In most cases, the two switch wires will be some color other than green or white, usually black. But one of the wires may be white if your house is wired with plastic-sheathed cable. Put a wrap of black tape around the white conductor to label it as a hot wire.
If the switch you're replacing is the only switch controlling the light, buy a standard single-pole dimmer. If the light can be switched on and off from two or more switches, buy a three-way dimmer switch. But you won't be able to dim the lights from every switch location unless you buy a set of special dimmers with advanced electronics and install one at each switch location.
Most dimmers are designed to handle 600 watts. Add up the wattage of all the light bulbs you'll be dimming. Then read the dimmer package to make sure it can handle the load. Heavy-duty 1,000- and 1,500-watt dimmers are also readily available. Read the package if you'll be installing dimmers side by side in the same electrical box because the wattage rating is reduced to compensate for extra heat buildup.
Finally, you have to use a special device, not a dimmer, to control the speed of ceiling fans and motors. Most fluorescent lights can't be dimmed without altering the fixture.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Getting your kids to eat breakfast can be a struggle. Between waking them up and making sure they get to school on time, mornings are a busy time in most households.
Most people agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, many Americans routinely skip this meal! Study after study has shown that when children eat breakfast, they are more alert at school and perform better than those who do not. Similarly, adults are better at concentrating and problem-solving after having breakfast.
While eating breakfast is generally important, what we eat for breakfast should be considered, too. Avoid super sugar-sweetened cereals, which cause a huge spike—and then quick drop—in blood sugar. This drop can affect your mood; in kids, studies show that it affects their concentration and memory. Carbohydrates are important to fuel the brain so offer whole-grain options that are high in fiber and won't cause the huge increase in blood sugar. Also, protein at breakfast, such as hard-boiled eggs, low-fat cheese or peanut butter, can keep your kids full and satisfied.
Try these super-quick and healthy options your kids can grab and eat on the go:
When you have a little more time, try these fast and nutritious breakfast recipes:
Peanut Butter Banana Waffle Sandwiches 1 Whole-grain/whole-wheat frozen waffle 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (or other nut butter) ½ banana, sliced
Toast frozen waffle according to package instructions. Spread peanut butter for the waffle and cut waffle in half. Arrange banana slices on one waffle half and top with other waffle half.
Chicken Sausage Frittata Burritos Whole-grain/whole-wheat tortillas 6 eggs 1 cup of frozen spinach (defrosted with excess water squeezed out) 1 cup of low-fat chicken sausage ½ cup of low-fat shredded cheese Olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and beat gently. Add in defrosted spinach, meat and cheese and mix well.
Grease a 8" x 8" baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour egg mixture into the baking dish. Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes and remove.
Once cool, slice the frittata into approximately six rectangles. Take one tortilla and place the frittata slice on one half of the tortilla. Fold three sides of the tortilla toward the frittata slice and then roll over, forming a burrito. Repeat with remaining five pieces.
Burritos can be wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator or freezer. To serve, heat in microwave for one minute and go!

David Bowie reportedly privately cremated in a New York ceremony with no family or friends present
David Bowie's wish "to go without any fuss" has been granted. Shortly after the shape-shifting British rock legend died of liver cancer at the age of 69 Sunday, his body was reportedly cremated in a private ceremony in New York without any family or friends present. The cremation took place soon after the star's death and there will be no funeral service, the BBC reports.
While the singer's request for privacy — which he had closely guarded in his final years — was heeded, Bowie is certainly not going unremembered. Carnegie Hall in New York will host a memorial concert in his honor on March 31, and a tribute is planned for the Brit Awards in London in February. Since Bowie's death was announced Monday, streams and sales of his music have skyrocketed. "In many respects," one source told The Telegraph, "you don't need a memorial service to remember David by — you have his music instead." Becca Stanek
Defense Secretary James Mattis warned of grave consequences for failure to resolve the United States' differences with North Korea via diplomacy while speaking on CBS Sunday.
"A conflict with North Korea would probably be the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetimes," Mattis said in a Face the Nation interview. "This regime is a threat to the region, to Japan, to South Korea. And in the event of war, they would bring danger to China and to Russia as well," he added. "But the bottom line is it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into a combat if we're not able to resolve this situation through diplomatic means." Pyonyang claimed to test an anti-aircraft missile Sunday morning, its third weapons test in as many weeks.
In the same conversation, Mattis described pursuing a more aggressive approach to the fight against the Islamic State. "The bottom line is we are going to move in an accelerated and reinforced manner, throw them on their back foot. We have already shifted from attrition tactics where we shove them from one position to another in Iraq and Syria, to annihilation tactics where we surround them," he said. Watch an excerpt of his comments below. Bonnie Kristian

A man named Willie Cory Godbolt confessed Sunday to fatally shooting eight people in three homes in the towns of Brookhaven and Bogue Chitto, Mississippi. Among the dead was a sheriff's deputy called to investigate after a neighbor reported a disturbance. The identities of the victims have not been released.
"I ain't fit to live, not after what I done," Godbolt confessed to a local paper after he was arrested. "Not in y'all eyes, not in nobody else's eyes." Godbolt said he did not intend to hurt the deputy — "My pain wasn't designed for him. He was just there" — but planned to provoke police into killing him: "Suicide by cop was my intention."
A 16-year-old boy Godbolt took hostage escaped unharmed, and law enforcement are expected to bring charges soon. Godbolt is believed to have been disputing custody of his children when he attacked. Bonnie Kristian
"The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday in Munich in comments understood to reference Europe's reliance on the United States. "I've experienced that in the last few days," she continued. "We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands" and "fight for our own destiny."
When President Trump met with fellow NATO leaders in Brussels on Thursday, he reiterated his critique that allies are too dependent on the United States, calling their failure to make meet a pledged 2 percent of GDP defense spending target unfair to the U.S.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary James Mattis on Sunday maintained Trump is supportive of the alliance. "I think when President Trump chooses to go to NATO personally and stand there alongside the other more than two dozen nations in NATO, that was his statement, not words, actions," he said in a CBS interview. Bonnie Kristian
British police on Sunday arrested a 25-year-old man in connection to the suicide bombing in Manchester that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert Monday. This is the 14th arrest linked to the attack; 12 people remain in custody.
On Saturday, police released photos of Salman Abedi, the Manchester-born man responsible for the bombing. "We are gathering a detailed picture of Abedi as the investigation develops and now need people to tell us if they have any information about his movement," said an official statement.
British Home Secretary Amber Rudd has also implemented a temporary exclusion order, requiring special vetting for "suspected Islamic terrorists" seeking to return to the U.K. until it is certain Abedi does not have accomplices still on the loose. "The operation is still at full tilt," Rudd said, with about 1,000 people working the case. Bonnie Kristian
The Department of Homeland Security "might" prohibit laptops as carry-on items for all international flights in and out of the United States, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Sunday in an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.
The United States being a "free and open society" is "one of our vulnerabilities," Kelly said. "There's a real threat — numerous threats against aviation. That's really the thing that they're obsessed with, the terrorists: the idea of knocking down an airplane in flight, particularly if it's a U.S. carrier, particularly if it's full of mostly U.S. folks." Electronic carry-ons are already limited for flights from 10 Muslim-majority countries in the Mideast and North Africa.
Kelly also said he would "likely" expand nationwide a new TSA policy of requiring passengers to more substantially unpack their carry-on bags at the checkpoint, separating food and paper items into different bins. A 2015 DHS investigation found TSA officers failed to detect 95 percent of explosives and weapons passed through airport security in an internal test. Terrorism experts say the long lines caused by slow TSA checkpoints are themselves a security risk. Bonnie Kristian
President Trump revisited familiar territory on Twitter Sunday morning, raging against "fake news" and urging his followers to disbelieve any news reports citing unnamed sources.
It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 28, 2017
Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names....

These posts come just two days after unnamed sources alleged Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner attempted to arrange backchannel communications between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin, deepening suspicion of election manipulation collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The bodies of eight men who appeared to be civilians executed for attempting to flee hostilities were found Sunday on the outskirts of Marawi City in the Philippines, where militants claiming ties to the Islamic State terrorist group have staged a six-day occupation. By one body, a sign was placed reading "munafik," which means "traitor" or "hypocrite."
This brings the death toll of the conflict to about 85, including at least 19 civilians. Controversial Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has declared martial law in the area as government forces combat the rebels using ground troops and airstrikes.
Civilian evacuations are also underway. "Some have no food at all. Some fear for their lives," said Zia Alonto Adiong, an official organizing rescue efforts. "This is a conflict that has gone beyond proportion. The magnitude of the degree of the damage and the people that are affected ... it's really massive." Bonnie Kristian

On the night of December 10, 1999, the Philippine island of Luzon, home to the capital, Manila, and some 40 million people, abruptly lost power, sparking fears that a long-rumored military coup d'état was underway. Malls full of Christmas shoppers plunged into darkness. Holiday parties ground to a halt. President Joseph Estrada, meeting with senators at the time, endured a tense ten minutes before a generator restored the lights, while the public remained in the dark until the cause of the crisis was announced, and dealt with, the next day. Disgruntled generals had not engineered the blackout. It was wrought by jellyfish. Some 50 dump trucks' worth had been sucked into the cooling pipes of a coal-fired power plant, causing a cascading power failure. "Here we are at the dawn of a new millennium, in the age of cyberspace," fumed an editorial in the Philippine Star, "and we are at the mercy of jellyfish."

A decade later, the predicament seems only to have worsened. All around the world, jellyfish are behaving badly—reproducing in astonishing numbers and congregating where they've supposedly never been seen before. Jellyfish have halted seafloor diamond mining off the coast of Namibia by gumming up sediment-removal systems. Jellies scarf so much food in the Caspian Sea they're contributing to the commercial extinction of beluga sturgeon—the source of fine caviar. In 2007, mauve stinger jellyfish stung and asphyxiated more than 100,000 farmed salmon off the coast of Ireland as aquaculturists on a boat watched in horror. The jelly swarm reportedly was 35 feet deep and covered ten square miles.
Nightmarish accounts of "Jellyfish Gone Wild," as a 2008 National Science Foundation report called the phenomenon, stretch from the fjords of Norway to the resorts of Thailand. By clogging cooling equipment, jellies have shut down nuclear power plants in several countries; they partially disabled the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan four years ago. In 2005, jellies struck the Philippines again, this time incapacitating 127 police officers who had waded chest-deep in seawater during a counterterrorism exercise, apparently oblivious to the more imminent threat. (Dozens were hospitalized.) This past fall, a ten-ton fishing trawler off the coast of Japan capsized and sank while hauling in a netful of 450-pound Nomura's jellies.
The sensation of getting stung ranges from a twinge to tingling to savage agony. Victims include Hudson River triathletes, Ironmen in Australia and kite surfers in Costa Rica. In summertime so many jellies mob the waters of the Mediterranean Sea that it can appear to be blistering, and many bathers' bodies don't look much different: in 2006, the Spanish Red Cross treated 19,000 stung swimmers along the Costa Brava. Contact with the deadliest type, a box jellyfish native to northern Australian waters, can stop a person's heart in three minutes. Jellyfish kill between 20 and 40 people a year in the Philippines alone.
The news media have tried out various names for this new plague: "the jellyfish typhoon," "the rise of slime," "the spineless menace." Nobody knows exactly what's behind it, but there's a queasy sense among scientists that jellyfish just might be avengers from the deep, repaying all the insults we've heaped on the world's oceans.
"Jellyfish" is a decidedly unscientific term—the creatures are not fish and are more rubbery than jamlike—but scientists use it all the same (though one I spoke with prefers his own coinage, "gelata"). The word "jellyfish" lumps together two groups of creatures that look similar but are unrelated. The largest group includes the bell-shaped beings that most people envision when they think of jellyfish: the so-called "true jellies" and their kin. The other group consists of comb jellies—ovoid, ghostly creatures that swim by beating their hairlike cilia and attack their prey with gluey appendages instead of stinging tentacles. (Many other gelatinous animals are often referred to as jellyfish, including the Portuguese man-of-war, a colony of stinging animals known as a siphonophore.) All told, there are some 1,500 jellyfish species: blue blubbers, bushy bottoms, fire jellies, jimbles. Cannonballs, sea walnuts. Pink meanies, a.k.a. stinging cauliflowers. Hair jellies, a.k.a. snotties. Purple people eaters.
The bell-shaped jellies—distantly related to corals and anemones—launched their lifestyle long, long ago. Exquisite jellyfish fossils found recently in Utah display reproductive organs, muscle structure and intact tentacles; the jelly fossils, the oldest discovered, date back more than 500 million years, when Utah was a shallow sea. By contrast, fish evolved only about 370 million years ago.
The descendants of those ancient jellies haven't changed much. They are boneless and bloodless. In their domelike bells, guts are squished beside gonads. The mouth doubles as an anus. (Jellies are also brainless, "so they don't have to contemplate that," one jelly specialist says.) Jellies drift at the mercy of the currents, though many also propel themselves by contracting their bells, pushing water out, while others—such as the upside-down jellyfish and the flower hat, with its psychedelic lures—can recline on the seafloor. They absorb oxygen and store it in their jelly. They can sense light and certain chemicals. They can grow quickly when there's food around and shrink when there isn't. Their tentacles, which reach up to 100 feet long in some species, are covered with cells called nematocysts that fire tiny poison harpoons, enabling the animals to immobilize krill, larval fish and other prey without risking their mushy bodies in a struggle. Yet if a sea turtle bites off a hunk, the flesh regenerates.
A breeding jellyfish can spit out unfertilized eggs at a prodigious rate: one female sea nettle may spew as many as 45,000 per day. To maximize the chances of sperm meeting egg, millions of moon jellies of both sexes assemble in one place for a gamete-swapping orgy.
Chad Widmer is one of the world's most accomplished jellyfish cultivators. At the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, he is lord of the "Drifters" exhibit, a slow-motion realm of soft edges, rippling flute music and sapphire light. His left ankle is crowded with tattoos, including Neptune's trident and a crystal jellyfish. A senior aquarist, Widmer labors to figure out how jellyfish thrive in captivity—a job that involves untangling tentacles and plucking gonads until his arm is swollen with venom.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by LatinMind, Jan 10, 2013.
Why TJ is very good.
Hate this move. Would much have rather stuck with Ryan.
IM hoping Dallas can get rod marinelli with to come with Kiffin. If Lovie doesnt get a HC job think he would be good in Dallas
As long as his son doesnt follow im okay with it
If we do switch to the Tampa 2, we will go through some growing pains.
And your right, our present safeties aren't anywhere near ready for a Tampa 2.
Really should've never fired Ryan, Jerry is really out on a limb with this one.
Jeff Sullivan reporting on twitter that alot of teams want Kiffin. So its good he's in demand.
Why not just hire the man who just went 10-6 in a tougher division to be the head coach if we want the tampa 2 thing?
Clearly because Jerry wants Garrett to be his HC
Really don't like this hire.
Reboots the process.
Lovie knows about process. Only he knows how to actually do it. 5-11, 11-5, 13-3 in his first 3 years. THATS WHAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE.
Well we have a capable middle linebacker who can be the do it all guy but we need to upgrade safety BIG time.
erm, no he isnt
well its good for us fans that jerry left no stone unturned in his search for a new DC.
Not crazy about our DTs in a 4-3 either, especially if Rat is gone.
Because we are not smart at anything we do , from coaching to drafting to playing . this is what we are .
This move changes a lot . We will definitely keep Ratliff now and we need a dominant new safety round 1 ?
This one isn't. But heck, whatever we've been doing hasn't worked, so I'm open to trying other things.

Closing arguments set for NM arroyo rape case
Updated: 7:45 AM MST Jan 22, 2013
Both sides could begin final arguments Tuesday in the trail of Genaro Sandoval.
Closing arguments are expected to begin in the trial of a former Gallup paramedic charged in a rape of an 11-year-old boy in an Albuquerque arroyo.
Both sides could begin final arguments Tuesday in the trail of Genaro Sandoval.
Prosecutors say the 39-year-old was linked to the 2003 rape through DNA sample later submitted in an FBI database after Sandoval pleaded guilty to child exploitation in 2007.
But his defense attorneys say the Albuquerque Police Department's evidence room was rocked by a scandal of mismanagement and lost evidence that might have tainted the DNA.
Sandoval is separately charged with molesting five other boys in arroyos, although jurors were not allowed to hear about those cases.

"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6
Thanksgiving is a season to reflect on the ways God has richly provided. From the ground, he produces grain and fruit. From our hearts, if we allow him to work, God produces spiritual fruit. But, what if no seed has been planted? Will anyone reap a harvest? This 2013 Fall Offering includes words from Carol Potratz, who has spent the last forty years passionately sowing God's seed within NAB.

My experience with the Pigeon Mountain 2-Frame Extractor #PM9306.
When I received it, the paper wrapping the stand support and legs stuck to the parts because the paint was not dry when they were wrapped with paper.
Two support legs had to have the holes elongated by drilling and filing in order to get the holes to line up before the bolts would go through the holes to attach the legs. Apparently the holes were not drilled using a fixture because it was obvious the distance of the holes from the ends of the legs were not the same distance.
I cut my arm and hand during the initial cleaning of the internal basket. Edges of the vertical sheet metal basket, ends that support the frames, were not rounded or deburred after they were cut. The sharp edge, similar to a razor blade, caused fairly deep cuts, before I recognized the blood dripping. I had to disassemble and remove the basket to file all the edges down.
The hole for the bolt that helps to position the plexiglass lid was mis-drilled which required them to use a washer to prevent the correctly redrilled hole from breaking out due to the small distance between the holes.
A frame support wire weld joint failed after extracting 4-frames of honey. The person doing the welding either did not understand how to weld or was in such a hurry they just did a very bad job of welding. No frame was ever dropped on this wire weld joint. The weight of the frame caused the weld joint to separate. I had to go through the expense of getting the weld fixed.

The player that is most respected in the locker room should be captain imo. It doesn't matter if you're a back up or don't have great production. When rookies are made captains, something is wrong.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
Stats and leadership don't go hand in hand. It's about having the respect of teammates from how you handle yourself during the day-to-day stuff of being a professional athlete. Tuck is a good locker room guy.
I'm surprised this is even an issue. We seemed to get burned by guys not staying in their lanes and maintaining their containment. This is something for the coaches to fix....
Its not just the coaches who see that. The players see it to and at that point you either are given the impression that its ok to give up on plays since Cap is doing it. Or you tune Cap out all together.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of the Super Bowl 46: Dad, are the Giants gonna win?
Burier: Yes.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of Super Bowl 46: Do you promise?
Burier: Yes. I promise.

im not so sure. They will sign somebody to replace Boldin and that offense was completely turned up once they got rid of the worst offensive coordinator in the world: Cam Cameron.
They defense pretty much blew all season, btu they did have really good games vs the Pats and Colts in playoffs...
I think they are system players that they lost

That Staubach quote only proves that cowboys were a stacked team at the time and the saints sucked.
Like saying if Alex Smith was on the current 49'ers team, he could win a Super Bowl
And it's hard to separate one of the Dome Patrol from the rest
IMO the Saints have a clear top three of:
1. Drew Brees
2. Willie Roaf
3. Rickey Jackson (2 and 3 could be swapped in order).
After that, there are a whole bunch of guys who were very good, but not "all timers".
Jahri Evans is well on his way to joining those three and with another couple of years he gets there.
The other three members of the Dome Patrol should all merit discussion.
Colston and Horn both get discussion, and obviously Colston is still playing so he could increase his chances.
Morten Anderson was really good.
IMO Deuce McAlister and Archie Manning were both good players but are a bit overrated b/c they were the best parts of bad teams, so people have very fond memories of them doing a lot of good things
Joe Horn still above Colston
Jackson and Roaf are in the top 5. Brees is as well
The other three spots can be debated
I can let you argue the other stuff, but you're wrong here Chad.
Colston (life long Saint so far) > Horn (played for the Falcons )
Colston 532 receptions > Horn 523 receptions
Colston 58 TDs > Horn 50 TDs
Horn 7,622 yards > Colston 7,394 yards
Colston 6+years as a Saint > Horn 6 years as a Saint
Horn BBQ Sauce > Colston not food affiliated
Colston Superbowl Starter > Horn Playoff Win
Joe Horn: 4 time probowler, one year was 6 yards behind the NFL leader in receiving yards. Played without Drew Brees Joe Horn had FOUR, that's right 4 years better than Colston's Best year as a Saint.
Colston has been very consistent putting up pretty good numbers with our best qb ever. At the end of the day, colston's longevity will probably over take joe horn's career but for now, i think its rightful to still have Joe Horn above Colston with his eliteness he brought us those 5-6 years or so
Hmm...one of those rare moments that message board banter results in a genuine change of opinion.
This is the best comment I have seen on the internet in a while.

Does writing about Fight Club violate the first rule of Fight Club?
"Fight Club" is based on a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. To call Palahniuk's works "disturbing" is an understatement. It was directed by David Fincher, director of Se7en, Zodiac, and the upcoming "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo" (among others). To say he has a knack for "disturbing" is also an understatement.
It was a perfect match of material and movie maker. The end result was a roaring tornado of a movie about masculinity, society and sanity.

Search grows for Calif. man in death of woman
CAMPO, Calif. - The husband of a woman whose body was found in a burned house near the U.S.-Mexico border says he knows the man suspected of killing his wife and abducting one or both of their children.
The disclosure came Tuesday as a manhunt for 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio expanded. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department says DiMaggio and the victim, 44-year-old Christina Anderson, had been in a close, platonic relationship.
Brett Anderson says he knows DiMaggio "very well" but declined to elaborate as he arrived from out of town. Anderson is the father of the two missing children - 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and 8-year-old Ethan Anderson.
An Amber Alert has been issued.
Authorities found Christina Anderson's body Sunday in DiMaggio's home in Boulevard, 65 miles east of San Diego.
They also found the remains of a child.

Reviews of this property
Great Appartment, super clean in a top location! Plenty of nice coffee places and restaurants around as well as plenty of metro stations. Really Central. s. Plenty of nice shops around as well. Walking distance from many parisian top spots. The appartment is actually even nicer than what it looks in the photos! Will definitely stay here again next time I go to Paris
Very good location and angreat appartement with beauful parisian design! Very friendly house owner and landlord. We were four girls sleeping and it was enough. Though we missed some curtins or likely to over the windows from the sun. We woke up early :( and perhaps a owen should be great! Plus something to cover the shower! But over all, a really good appartement! Great location and beautiful!
Beautiful location, warmth and security in the reception of guests, highly recommended!
Inmejorable ubicación ,calidez y garantía en la recepción del huésped ,altamente recomendable !
Cosy flat, super great location. We used the apartment for two, for four, I can not imagine that! Double bed a bit small and uncomfortable accordingly, but a lot of dust in the corners, could be cleaner. Like to come back ...
Heimelige Wohnung, supertolle Lage. Wir nutzten die Wohnung zu zweit, zu viert kann ich mir das nicht vorstellen!
Doppelbett etwas klein und entsprechend unbequem, doch sehr viel Staub in den Ecken, könnte sauberer sein.
Kommen gerne wieder...
We found the great apartment. Great location, easy access to metro and His etc.. Beautiful pedestrian area with nice shops. For us and our two boys (10 and 12), the site was sufficient. I think 4 adults but would be a bit tight, at least if you have breakfast in the apartment, etc. would. The kitchen is small but functional, great, this is a dishwasher there. We felt comfortable and would go back any time.
Wir fanden die Wohnung prima. Tolle Lage, kurze Wege zu Seine etc. und Metro. Wunderschöne Fußgängerzone mit netten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Für uns und unsere zwei Jungs ( 10 und 12 Jahre) war der Platz ausreichend. Ich denke 4 Erwachsene wäre dann doch etwas eng , zumindest wenn man auch in der Wohnung frühstücken etc. möchte. Die Küche ist klein aber zweckmäßig- toll ,das eine Spülmaschine da ist. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Super penthouse in the middle of Paris. It has what you need and there are plastic for 4 people. If adults have to know each other real good / Christoffer
Super taglejlighed midt i Paris.
Den har hvad man har brug for og der er plast til 4 personer.
Hvis det er voksne skal man kende hinanden rigtige god
Above all great location! Adorable and comfortable though a little small apartment. The host was really helpful. Basically a place I would personally recommend.
The apartment is in a prime location. The apartment is very nice. Value for money and I would recommend going a maximum of 3 people. For four is a bit overwhelming. The sofa is damaged and becomes problematic sleep two adults.
El apartamento se encuentra en una ubicación privilegiada. El apartamento es muy bonito. No tiene ascensor y yo recomendaría ir como máximo 3 personas. Para cuatro es un poco agobiante. El sofá cama está deteriorado y se hace problemático dormir dos adultos.
A real "Ville Lumiere experience", the location of the appartament was excellent and during Chirtmas days everything is fine. Strongly suggeted!

text: Well I finally got my pro comp wheels put on the other day. I was having some rubbing issues with my nittos rubbing the a-arms when the wheel was turned all the way but these new wheels have a different off set and let the wheels stick out a extra 1.5 inches and fixed that problem and look awesome.... But now with the new wheels the tires are rubbing the finder wells right up against the cab... New Old So now I'm trying to think of how I want to fix this new rubbing issue. If I go and try to just do some trimming, its a pretty big chunk of metal and I really don't wanna take a hacksaw to my brand new truck. So I'm leaning towards ditching the leveling kit and going for a actual lift kit... I'm thinking Rancho??? What do you guys think????

Re: st: Imputation using ML for a lognormal ordered income variable
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:34:50 +0000
Thanks for the helpful reply Stas,
I don´t think the recommendation referred to interval regression or
multiple imputation. I think it referred to imputing the probable
average or median of each category, but without the obviously false
assumption of a uniform distribution within each category the midpoint
would suggest.
If I do a ML fit of a lognormal distribution using the lognfit command
I can get the parameters of the distribution. I guess I should be able
to work this out by hand from there, but figured that there might be
an easier way.
