I'd imagine we'd cut ties with Tuck and/or Kiwi and go with a Clowney, JPP, One of tuck or kiwi, and Moore at End.. It would be the most upside at the DE positon then i've ever seen with the giants. I think of OSI and Tuck coming up with Strahan, when i think of Clowney, JPP, Moore, and one of Tuck or Kiwi..
In that scenario, I would cut kiwi. ^
And that is exactly why this should be Coughlins last yr, unless we make a miracle postseason run. Its just not right, in a sport your shelf life is short anyways, to make guys wait 1,2 and 3yrs before giving em a fair shake. If you got a JPP, Moore, and Clowney 3some at DE, you play them! And if its tought to cut Kiwi, then we must say goodbye to Tuck. We simply can't bring both back, as we must go in another direction, assuming we get Clowney, like in this case. Of course this all changes if we ignore the positon.

Please fix the invisible wall at the start of the Daedalus map.
Countless times myself and other players fall to our deaths jumping from the spawn point to the main game area as a Suicide. As you're jumping your character stops and hits an invisible wall in mid-air and you plummet to your death.
The distance is close enough from jumping from the edge to the box top so there should be no reason this is happening. There are also some crazy camera glitches on this stage as well as grapple point issues.
Re: Please fix the invisible wall at the start of the Daedalus map.[ Edited ]
Did you ever get crushed by the spinning grinders when you used an Item or Magic? Yeah, that seems to be the only time they even work and for the completely wrong reason.
Never ever use Ares Inferno or Hades Mist when going by them as they seem to suck you in and crush you while you're in a teleport state of animation. It's basically crushing air.
Re: Please fix the invisible wall at the start of the Daedalus map.[ Edited ]
Yea, the invisible walls can be a nuisance. Seems it has been improved?? atleast I have jumped further and have yet to get caught, guess I get lucky with the sweet spot.
I actually tossed a guy through the wall into the grinder. I don't trust those grinders.

Chagas (CHAH-gus) disease is an inflammatory, infectious disease caused by a parasite found in the feces of the triatomine (reduviid) bug. Chagas disease is common in South America, Central America and Mexico, the primary home of the triatomine bug. Rare cases of Chagas disease have been found in the southern United States, as well.
Also called American trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease can infect anyone, but is diagnosed most often in children. Left untreated, Chagas disease later can cause serious heart and digestive problems.
Treatment of Chagas disease focuses on killing the parasite in acute infection and managing signs and symptoms in later stages. You can take steps to prevent the infection, too.

Update: Man shocked by power line on Monday is out of intensive care unit
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Jan. 8, 2013 update: The mother of Craig Benavidez, 52, who was severely shocked by a power line on Monday, told ABC-7 he has been moved out of an intensive care unit at an El Paso hospital and is awake, alert, and talking.
Jan 7, 2013 story: A Las Cruces arborist is in critical condition after he was severely shocked by a power line. This isn't the first serious accident he's had while on the job in the last six months.
Coworkers at the scene told ABC-7's New Mexico Mobile Newsroom that Craig Benavidez, 52, was trimming a tree when he came in contact with a nearby power line.
"It happened so fast. By the time we looked down and looked back up he was dangling already. That's how fast it happened," coworker Ruben Gutierrez told ABC-7.
Gutierrez said it took more than half an hour for El Paso Electric to arrive and shut off the power so they could cut him down. Coworkers described that as the most agonizing time of their lives.
"We were getting really mad because dangling by your back like that's gotta hurt. We couldn't get up there to get him down for our safety," Gutierrez said.
A spokesman for the Las Cruces Police Department said Benavidez was flown to University Medical Center in El Paso in critical condition.
Witnesses said Benavidez was breathing on his own and screaming in pain as he was placed on a stretcher. They also said Benavidez had burn marks on his feet.
After the horrifying morning, Benavidez's coworkers continued to clean the yard and finish the job. They said they had to finish what they started.
A sign on Benavidez's work truck claims he has 30 years of experience. Gutierrez called this a "freak accident," saying they all had training on working near power lines.
Dorothy Wells, the public safety and community development coordinator for El Paso Electric, said it's important that people be aware of their surroundings when cutting trees.
"The most important thing I can tell everybody is if you do have trees that come within 10 feet of our power lines, you need to call the company and what we do is we send a contractor out there and they will trim those trees back," Wells told ABC-7.
Benavidez's coworkers said he's like "a cat with nine lives." This incident comes just months after Benavidez was attacked and stung hundreds of times by Africanized bees. He was unable to flee the swarm because he was trapped in his harness.

Far out! Enjoy the little sanity we have left in this state! With Gov. Moonbeam as Governor, and equally crazy Gavin Newsom in the wings, its just a matter of time until those jackasses will stack the Supreme Court with liptards as crazy as our State Legislators. Then it will be pot smoking in the grade schools. If you don't believe me, think back to the jackasses that Moonbeam put on the Supreme Court during his first stint as Governor - the ones that got recalled.

I own a liquor store and the last thing I need is competition from marijuana dispensaries giving drugs to people with medical conditions. I'm with Tiny Tina. If kids in grade school are going to find a way to get high, I'd much rather it be on a couple six packs of brewsky than a lethal marijuana cigarette.

Exactly, Marv. Not to mention the potential for death from second hand smoke, the violence and mayhem that surround the dispensaries and the loitering of space cadets looking for a handout of bud by 'medicinal clients'. Yup, 'medical' pot has no downsides at all. It just eases the pain of those who can't cope with life.....

Well, violence and mayhem and loitering don't happen at all around my neighborhood liquor store. I've got security guards, multiple cameras, and bars across all my windows. Its best just to let people get drunk in order to ease their pain. Besides, isn't pot addicting?

Of course you would cholo. So, how do you feel about the obvious double standard that exists for second hand pot smoke versus tobacco smoke? Why is OK for pot smoke to be blown your way, but not tobacco?
Big Marv, I think any kind of pain relief is a good thing. It's too bad you live in a bad neighborhood. The local grocery stores and places like Kavanaughs liquors here in Pleasanton aren't anywhere near the kind of places you described near your housing project. Besides pot is still illegal on a federal level, but go ahead and grow your own and see if you end up with some shady visitors in your backyard (assuming you have one).

text: To all the veteran bee keepers or anyone with a idea. I have a hive that was 8 years of neglect consisted of 2 deeps 3 mediums and plenty of bees here the thing I'm trying to get new boxes on these bees all new they have a mess of comb honey brood rotten frames and so on how do I get these bees with the queen to move down to a new deep so I can start fresh with this hive if they will not leave the existing brood. I cannot move any frames down because of them being so rotten and fragile The set up now consist of new deep/ old deep and two mediums that is how it is put together from bottom to top now. Any ideas info is greatly appreciated


text:
I am new to bee keeping and have two hives. I lost both queens and by the time I realized what was going on I had little capped brood left. Okay, duh. I suspected Varroa mites as I saw no evidence of swarming and the hives are packed with bees, honey, and pollen, but no few capped cells and no eggs. One hive had a supercedure cell that had not hatched.
I confirmed Varroa mites with the ether test and added Apistan strips. I ordered new queens, but IÂm wondering how this will work. Assuming there are no supercedure queens hatching and no laying workers, can I add these queens with any success? What about nurse bees for the new larva assuming the queen takes? Since nurse bees are the early part of the workerÂs life, will they be too old by the time the new queen starts laying?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Looking for GOOD TDM players to party up with.[ Edited ]
Sorry if I seem blunt, this is my first time posting here (except for replying)
As the subject says, I'm looking for people that actually know how to play the game, it's getting pretty frustrating wasting tournament ticket after tournament ticket because I get teamed up with XxXSnipezElitezXxX and ZnathunDrake2012 who both manage to land themselves with 3 kills and 15 deaths by the end of each match, whereas I end up with about 15 kills and 6 deaths, but obviously that counts for little when the rest of the team just can't play well.
My PSN ID is Lokizarro, add me if you play TMD regularly and consider yourself a good player.
Also, I'm not trying to boost my ego here, I'm not a pro by any means, but I always seem to end up at the top of the scoreboard even in matches that go sour. I know that people that post on the forum here are generally hardcore players, as I am too.
Thanks guys.

Think you nailed it!
Except Jerry has three rings as a owner
I like the one of Peralta striking out (for the last pitch for Yu?)
Finish him! :laugh2:
11-2 record
+/- is already an absurd 46.
7 game lead on the Angels. :laugh2:
162 games though.
Good Lord his pitches move... a year with Maddux and he may be unhittable...
I remember in preseason, one player for another team said he had never seen anything like that in his life...
Josh Hamilton is the best hitter in baseball right now. He is crushing every single hanging pitch he gets.
This is just nasty. Rangers up 8-0 going into the top of the 2nd
9-0 nw, Tigers pulling Porcello. This could really help being a double header, make the Tigers go deep into their bullpen in a game they have no real chance of winning anyway.
Rick Porcello will be seeing a shrink this week.
Talk about a shelling!
He managed to get 3 outs before getting pulled...after giving up 10 hits and 9 runs.
What happened to Beltre?
My question too.
I wondered if he pulled something when he hit the double and Gonzalas pinch ran for him.
Then again, he's a bit older, they had a big lead, and they have two games today. So an ideal time to rest him.
This team will put up some WINS this year. Unfortunately, watch the NL get homefield in the World Series again because of that stupid rule
Best team in baseball. Without a doubt.
And sadly our stupid pitcher was the reason we didn't have home field.
Hopefully we can show Verlander who is boss later today.
Might have to make eventually make way for Olt at 3B and move to 1B to keep him healthy. He missed a lot of games last year and is 33.
Bye bye Koji! He's done
1,000,000,000,000 % agreed
Wow Rangers are serious. Dang
Chicago White Sox pitcher has 3 outs left for a perfect game. Good for them they are playing division foes in Seattle. Let's see if he can get it done.
i thought going into this series that the tigers were the second best team in the AL. Either they arent, or the rangers are just far superior to the rest of the league! what an awesome performance! although i dont see us winning tonight's game vs verlander. We should win tomorrow though

Sony NEX-7 comparisons and reviewWednesday November 30 2011 Sensor Review
Ever since we tested the Sony SLT A77, we've been very curious to see how the soon-to-be released Sony NEX 7 would compare. And today we have the answer: as we expected, the absence of a mirror gives the NEX7 some advantages. Below is a detailed look.
The Sony NEX-7 has the same sensor as the Sony A77 and Sony A65, but it's not a single-lens translucent (SLT) camera — that is, it doesn't have a partially-translucent mirror — and that makes all the difference, because it doesn't have to contend with mirror-related light loss. Let's take a look at how the NEX-7 fares against different kinds of cameras, starting with its Sony SLT relatives.
Comparing the Sony SLT A77 vs Sony SLT A65 vs Sony NEX-7:
Overall DxOMark scores show a difference of 3 points in favor of the NEX-7 (81) over the SLT A77 (78), even though the latter has a lower ISO sensitivity (ISO 50) than the NEX-7 (ISO 100).
In principle, lower ISO sensitivity means that the A77 should achieve better scores in low ISO categories such as color depth and landscape (as we explained when we compared the Sony A65 and A77).
So it is not surprising to see the A65 come in lower (at 74 points) than these other two cameras, given that it has no ISO 50 (advantage: A77) and a translucent mirror (advantage: NEX-7).
Comparing the Sony NEX-7 vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000:
It's a tie game among the best of the current APS-C sensors, whose DxOMark scores are all within a hair's breadth of one another: 81 for the NEX-7, 82 for the K5, and 80 for the D7000.
We applaud the Sony for succeeding in matching its competitors' image quality scores. This was not a foregone conclusion despite having a significantly higher resolution than either the Pentax and the Nikon, because of its smaller pixel pitch on a sensor of nearly identical surface size.
What's more, the NEX-7's minimum ISO of only 100 put it at a disadvantage compared to the K5's ISO 80, and indeed the NEX-7's low-light results are noticeably lower than its competitors' (1016 points vs 1162 and 1165, respectively).
Comparing the Sony NEX-7 vs Olympus PEN EP3 vs Nikon 1 V1:
No surprises here: the NEX-7 is by far and away the leader with a DxOMark score of 81 points — 30 points ahead of the Olympus and 27 points ahead of the Nikon. All these cameras are ergonomically similar, compact and lightweight, but the NEX-7's larger sensor gives it a clear advantage over its rivals.
In conclusion, the NEX-7 is a success in terms of sensor image quality. In light of its current results, it's hard to resist thinking about the kinds of scores a future "NEX-X" could achieve were it to add ISO 50 to its mirror-free advantage.... and about the kind of score a full-frame DSLR would achieve with the same sensor technology as the Sony NEX 7 or Sony A77.
Further readings for the Sony NEX-7 comparisons and review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
At CES 2012, Canon just announced what could be their answer to the emergence of compact cameras with interchangeable lenses: the Canon PowerShot G1 X.
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.

major miss
1) In order for one to claim the best lenses for a camera system then order them based on their performances, he must test all native lenses first.
How come you guys miss 18-55mm zoom lens that almost all of us owned it before PZ lens was out?
We all know 18-55mm zoom gives a better performance than 18-200mm in many ways. Some of us say it is better than PZ 16-50 too. So it would place within the first 3 but yet its not even in the list.
2) I would put Rokinon 8mm f2.8 in this list in somewhere on high levels too. It is an e-mount lens.
Hope you will correct your list with the 1) addition. then enrich it with rokinon and dslr magic lenses.

I'm surprised that the Sony 50mm outperform the Zeiss 24mm. I'm not convinced this is the case in real world shooting of these two lenses. Although mechanically its probably easier to make a good 50 than a good 24. I was shooting with someone who had the Sony while I was using the Zeiss and I had better light transmission...I don't believe he was using a filter and I was. Regardless, thank you for the above review.
Please add the SLR Magic Hyperprime 50mm f0.95 to the review list.

Re: Comparison
I am not surprised at all. I use both. 50mm is a better lens. Both on sharpness, low CA and low vignetting. Also it is a OSS lens. 700$ less than Zeiss is the last reason that makes it again better than 24 zeiss.
In fact I would vote for sel35 f/1.8 to be again better than 24 zeiss too. I also own this lens. It is significantly smaller than zeiss and costs less than half. Performance of this lens is minimally worse than zeiss that everybody can live with that.

Sony 50mm f1.8 is not as good as Zeiss 24mm f1.8
I've tried two samples of the Sony 50mm f1.8 against the Zeiss / Sony 24mm f1.8 and neither of the Sony's performed as well. My observation is that the Sony at f8 about equals the Zeiss at f4, with the Zeiss having at least a 1.5-stop advantage at wider apertures. From f1.8 to f4, the Zeiss is sharper, with better contrast and lower chromatic aberration. What I see looks a lot closer to what slrgear.com found in their testing of both lenses.

Zeiss touit 12 mm
I must continue to misunderstand !
The 20 mm is poor in sharpness as it is a pancake !!
I have the sel24f1.8 and i find the 12 mm to be as sharp as the 24.
All review i read, and especially the ones coming from "le monde de la photo" and "chasseur d'image" which are famous specialized photography magazines in France, explains the Touit 12 mm to be sharper than the Touit 32 mm Touit. But you give huge different scores between the 32 and the 12 !!
So, may be you had a bad sample or it must be a mistake...
Added by Albundy | July 15 , 2013
Dxo mark score is a joke
Zeiss touit 12mm and Sel 20mm same score of 17 ... but completly differents conclusions :
Sel 20mm : "Optically it's far from perfect" ... "A sharpness score of 10 P-Mpix is disappointingly low for lens tested on 24-megapixel sensor like the Sony NEX-7 and slight barrel distortion is noticeable"
Zeiss Touit 12mm : "The two new Touits from ZEISS live up to our expectations. While we're unable to test these lenses on Fujifilm X-Series cameras currently, the results are likely to be very similar. On the Sony NEX-7, both lenses are very good indeed, excellent even, ..."
And from my point of view has i have both, there is nothing to compare in quality terms between this 2 lenses.
My conclusion : DXO MARK SCORE IS A JOKE !!

Re: Dxo mark score is a joke
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
Both focal are different. Performing a similar score for a 12mm compared to a 20mm is a pretty good result for the Zeiss Touit.
About the 12mm Zeiss Touit, you can check the 12mm comparison http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/ZEISS-Touit-2.8-12-and-Touit-1.8-32-Sony-mount-lens-reviews-performance-at-a-price/ZEISS-Touit-2.8-12mm-vs-competition
There we pointed some weaknesses too such as chromatic aberration for instance.

Zeiss touit 12 mm score
Is is possible that the Zeiss Touit 12 mm is as poor as the 20mm from sony ??
It has a such bad score and i read so much good reviews concerning this lens ? haow could it be possible ???

Why not test legacy lenses on the NEX7
Most people are using adapters and old C/Y, Minolta, Canon and Nikon lenses on their NEXs.
I have been using the new Zeiss 135mm APO and it is the first lens that really pulls everything out of the NEX sensor.
Your resolution results for the cheap Sigma twins must be off - they score way better than what your score indicates. Do you manually focus them?

Re: Why not test legacy lenses on the NEX7
Thanks for your comment and your recommendation.
Unfortunately we do not measure lenses that need a specific adaptator for now (it would mean to much "exotic" possible combination).
About resolution results, the Sigma twins score pretty good.

Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens
Great article, but I hope that you will test the kit lens that practically every NEX-7 owner has.

Thanks for your comment.
This is planned but is not a top priority so it should not be tested before fall.

You should have plent of options for boxes that are made for your truck that require no modifactions, you could also try a custom shop, it should only be 150-200 for a shop to make you a box and have it tuned for the music you like to listen to
Theres tons of boxes on ebay made just for your truck and fairly cheap to.
If there is a Dr. Dashboard near you they have lots of sub box options.

Mediterranean Menu
"For this classic Mediterranean summer menu, I used foods that taste light and fresh, like asparagus and watermelon, and sauces like aïoli with a citrusy twist. Another bonus to the menu is that many of the recipes can be prepped entirely in advance, leaving you time to relax and have fun with friends—which, to me, is what grilling is all about." —Cat Cora

Right guys I kinda lost track of my last thread so here's a new one!
I've finally made some progress...and I need to in order to get this ready for the big Force Unleashed event I'm trooping in for LucasArts in September!
So far I've managed to do all the major painting. I went with a layered effect and started off with base silver, a grey coat all over then I worked on the different sections.
I worked on the mandibles first, then the dome and cheeks and as of 30 minutes ago the rear was done!
Let me know what you think. I now need to do a few touch ups, give it a black wash and some weathering. Have started the ears too and am in the process of scratch-building an RF.
I've also added a pic of a T2 bust I'm working on! Let me know what you think!

I was most interested to see in the library today in Bexleyheath the magazine of the Evacuees Association, and once I was home, I looked up details about the magazine, and will certainly be subscribing later today. However, I wonder if you can help us, as you seem to have a mine of information and knowledge which you have gained over the years. My sister is researching our family tree, which she has been doing for some time now, but is stuck on going any further back with our paternal grandfather Frances Rafferty born in Belfast about 1854/5 – on the census form his place of birth is given as KELANCE or HELANCE, Belfast. However, we are told that there is no such place as either of these names, and I wonder whether you may be able to give us any ideas on how to research further – I have been in touch with the Irish Records Association, and various others, but no luck unfortunately. If you have any idea how we may research further, I would be very grateful for your help. In the meantime, with best wishes to you – Mrs Jeanette Butcher
History, particularly Family History is my passion. I have worked in libraries & archives, I teach family history, conduct workshops and give genealogy presentations. It seemed a shame to have all this knowledge & experience and not share it with others, so this website was born.

Explore the Airbus comfort standard
A320 Family 'non-stop innovation' mock-up
New high-definition video A380 & A350 XWB cabin walkthroughs
Latest A350 XWB cabin updates
Visit Airbus at: Stand # 1438, Tuesday 10th – Thursday 12th SeptemberDedicated Media Briefing for journalists: Tuesday 10th @ 09.00-10.00hrsInterview opportunities each day with cabin experts
At the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) 2013 Expo held this year in Anaheim USA, Airbus once again showcases its cabin innovations. Visitors to the Airbus stand will be able to judge for themselves the quality of Airbus' recent cabin offerings.
A full-scale A320 Family interior "non-stop-innovation" mock-up will allow visitors to test and feel the extra space of Airbus economy class comfort, as well as explore various cabin interior innovations. Meanwhile, the latest updates on A350 XWB will also be available on the Airbus stand where the A350's efficient and passenger-conscious 'flat-floor' architecture will be demonstrated. And for the airlines' flagship aircraft – the A380 – there will be an 80" screen with new high-definition cabin visualization.
Passenger comfort is becoming an increasingly important differentiator in the airline industry. In the future it will become a fundamental deciding factor driving passenger choice and business success. This is something which Airbus continues to champion, especially in our economy class cabins, where wide seats have always been the Airbus hallmark: 18 inches in the A320, A330 and A350 XWB, and 18.5 inches in the A380.
Airbus is the world's leading aircraft manufacturer of passenger airliners, ranging in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats. Airbus has design and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, the UK, and Spain, and subsidiaries in the US, China, Japan and in the Middle East. In addition, it provides an international network of customer support and training centres. Airbus is an EADS company.

EPA to kill new coal-fired plants through first-ever greenhouse-gas regulations
posted at 8:40 am on March 27, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
If you thought gas prices will never stop rising, just wait until you see what happens to electricity after the Barack Obama's EPA gets its way. The agency will deliver on Obama's election promise to bankrupt any new coal-fired electrical production in its first-ever regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions, the Washington Post reports. The new regulatory regime will all but guarantee that new coal-fired plants won't be built to replace others shutting down:
The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the first limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as Tuesday, according to several people briefed on the proposal. The move could end the construction of conventional coal-fired facilities in the United States.
The proposed rule — years in the making and approved by the White House after months of review — will require any new power plant to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced. The average U.S. natural gas plant, which emits 800 to 850 pounds of CO2 per megawatt, meets that standard; coal plants emit an average of 1,768 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt.
Industry officials and environmentalists said in interviews that the rule, which comes on the heels of tough new requirements that the Obama administration imposed on mercury emissions and cross-state pollution from utilities within the past year, dooms any proposal to build a coal-fired plant that does not have costly carbon controls.
"This standard effectively bans new coal plants," said Joseph Stanko, who heads government relations at the law firm Hunton and Williams and represents several utility companies. "So I don't see how that is an 'all of the above' energy policy."
Well, it's not, obviously. Nor has Obama ever honestly intended to apply an "all of the above" energy policy; he mouths the words, but his actions are hostile to hydrocarbon-based energy. The most honest discussion on energy policy from Obama came in the January 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, in which he promised to bankrupt new coal-based facilities:
The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, "This is really important," and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.
You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.
They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, "Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they're going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars," or whatever their number is. Um, if you can't persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.
If we can't make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You're not going to get that done.
This leads us to the natural-gas option mentioned by the Post. The response might be, "Well, okay, Obama's bankrupting the coal industry, but we can still use natural gas." That's only true if we can get the natural gas. The EPA has also begun blocking the use of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, which allows for massive improvement in extraction and access to vast amounts of natural gas. Note well that Obama included natural gas among those sources to which his policies would be hostile, and so far he's proving it.
Obama has no interest in an "all of the above" policy on energy. He wants to drive up energy costs in order to make his favored alternatives somewhat competitive, even though none of them can match the production scope of hydrocarbon sources that are found in abundance in the US. Obama has less interest in producing power than in exercising it, and Congress needs to put shackles on this EPA before working-class families have to start lighting candles rather than flipping on the light switch.

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
Ooze is the mysterious substance that transformed Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello from pet turtles into heroes in a half shell. And now kids can play with the ooze compound with new Mutagen Ooze Action Figures. Mutagen Ooze Ooze Launchin' Leo comes with a backpack and scoop so that kids can load the backpack with Mutagen Ooze and fling it at the bad guys. The figure comes with three plastic ooze pieces. The Mutagen Ooze compound is sold separately.
If using the plastic pieces, place one into the scoop on the backpack and quickly flick down the catapult arm to launch the plastic piece. If using Mutagen Ooze, load a small amount of ooze into the backpack's canister. Then push down the plunger to squirt a pea-size amount of ooze into the scoop. Quickly flick down the catapult arm to launch the ooze.
Kids can carry Turtles' weapons from other figures (sold separately) in the weapons rack on the side of the ooze backpack.
The gooey texture of the ooze makes it fun for kids to play with, and they'll enjoy being able to incorporate the Mutagen Ooze into their imaginative Turtles play.
It does take a little skill to be able to launch the ooze. Some of our attempts launched the ooze backward so that it landed on us, while other times the ooze landed on the Leonardo figure. When we were able to send the ooze flying forward (away from us and the action figure), the ooze traveled between one and two feet, which was pretty impressive. The amount of force and speed you use to launch determines how well and how far the ooze will fly. Figuring out the right amount of force and speed is part of the play.
Ooze Launchin' Leo is for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans ages 4 and up.
After use, it is recommended that you clean the ooze spout with the included pick. The pick can be stored on the side of the backpack.
Ooze is a non-toxic, water-based compound that picks up easily from hard surfaces. It is not recommended for play on carpet.
Additional Mutagen Ooze figures include Ooze Chuckin' Mikey, Ooze Tossin' Raph, and Ooze Scoopin' Donnie. Each figure is sold separately.

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, the Middle East Children's Alliance proudly presents world-renowned political analyst, author and activist Noam Chomsky, with special guest Holly Near and the Peace Becomes You Band!
Noam will speak about "Palestinian Hopes, Regional Turmoil."
Voted the "world's top public intellectual" in a 2005 Global Intellectuals poll, Chomsky is best known for his legendary critiques of U.S. foreign policy as well as of mainstream mass media. He has authored over 100 books and a plethora of articles, and has been awarded honorary degrees from universities worldwide.

Press Reviews: Page Gives Led Zeppelin Rock Diamond Hardness
Jimmy Page is Led Zeppelin. He's not just a part of the group along with the three other members, singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bass guitarist John Paul Jones. He's it – the whole sound.
He gives Led Zeppelin's rock its diamond hardness and his guitar splits through the heavy background and Plant's frantic singing light from a facet of a 30-carat stone. The rest of the group, especially Robert Plant, provide a suitable setting for Page's brilliance.
Led Zeppelin, called one of the top rock and roll groups in the world by some pop critics, played at the Kitchener Auditorium to more than 2,000 rock fans Tuesday night.
The show wasn't all it could have been. The crowd was small, partly because of the Iron Butterfly concert at the University of Waterloo only last week and partly because of the stiff ticket prices, $4 and $5 and Led Zeppelin weren't at their best.
"Tonight was a very short set," Page said after the 45-minute show. "I didn't do my set because of the amplifier blowing and the drummer didn't do his set because he wasn't feeling well." Plant admitted that his voice was giving him problems too. Usually the group plays twice as long.
But the audience overlooked the show's obvious faults and demanded more music when the group left the stage. They ran back, Plant tugging his t-shirt on again and gave one number, the strongest song of the evening. "They were a very good audience. I mean they were really with it at the end. You could see that," Page said.
A large part of the audience came from Toronto, Hamilton, London and places between. Most were university age.
They left Toronto this morning for another concert in the United States. In Toronto Sunday night, they packed the O'Keefe Centre for two shows. More than 6,000 people heard them there. This is their fourth North American tour. (J. Clemente / Kitchener Record / Nov.5, 1969)
Press Review: Zeppelin: Best rock concert ever
When Led Zeppelin hit the stage of the Kitchener Auditorium Tuesday night everyone present realized at once that this was not going to be just another concert. They were right; before the evening was over they had experienced and lived the Led Zeppelin group.
Ludicrous insanity I could best describe their performance. Jimmy Page running, jumping, straining getting unbelievable sounds and or noises on his guitar. From old blues riffs to distortion to feedback it all came off with finesse and wild beauty.
The lead singer Robert Plant is the ultimate extention of the school of lead singers started by Rolling Stone's Mick Jaggar, including Jim Morrison and Iggy Stooge. Plant's incredible voice range which goes from gutsy blues to high screams puts James Brown to shame.
Most of the time all you could see was his huge fuzzy ball of blonde hair shaking wildly and emitting unreal sounds. His body wriggling with every note of the music. Backing these two up were John Paul Jones laying down a perfect blues line and John Bonham on drums completing the rhythm section.
When the Led Zeppelin group do their songs they don't just present a copy of their album cuts. They go all out, making them even more ludicrous and insane than the originals, adding parts of old blues or rock number.
One of the highlights of the concert was the group's rendition of Dazed and Confused. In the middle of the number, Jimmy Page played his guitar with a bow just to add to the general insanity of the number.
Unfortunately as with so many concerts, the big downfall was the inadequate acoustics, which somewhat marred the full value of Zeppelin's extraordinary sound for the audience.
Also, the inevitable chore of sitting through the trite nonsense of the warm-up group was rather irritating. This time it was the Copper Penny, a local group of self proclaimed potential.
The Copper Penny tried to do all original material but came off sounding like a poor imitation of Guess Who. More often than not these warm up groups succeed in turning people off rather than warming them up.
Because of supposed technical difficulties which weren't really apparent, the Zeppelin group left early. They also cut down somewhat from their usual act leaving out the drum solo and Page's guitar solo Black Mountainside.
Only after repeated applause and cheers did Zeppelin return to do an encore which was an old Eddy Cochrane rock song.
Although the best rock ever to be held in this area, the Zeppelin group drew a very small crowd. Let's hope the poor turnout won't keep them from making a return trip. (D. Fisher, University of Waterloo news, Nov. 7, 1969)

Headphone Amplifiers Information
Portable headphone amplifiers are the ideal tool for music lovers ready to take their listening experience to the next level. By amplifying the signal from a portable music player—such as iPods and Sandisk players—a headphone amplifier increases the dynamic range of your music to expose the nuances of a recording. While not all headphones need a headphone amplifier, headphones of impedances around or above 100 ohms will either benefit or necessitate an amplifier. Whether your files are in FLAC or MP3, a headphone amplifier unearths aural detail to give listeners a complete portrait of their recordings by feeding the driver with enough current to move as it was designed. Headphone amplifiers also offer the added benefit of enhancing a headphone's sound stage, allowing for better instrument separation and placement on a three dimensional plane.
When headphone amps are integrated with Digital to Analog Converters (DACs), the overall quality of a recording can be remarkably enhanced. Because headphones can only reproduce currents into sound, any device capable of storing and reproducing digital audio is equipped with a DAC. Nonetheless, factory stock DACs are not always of quality and headphone amplifiers with integrated DACs can help resolve this issue. Often featuring higher resolution and bit rates, portable headphone amplifiers with DACs decode digital signals with greater accuracy resulting in a reproduction that is richer, complex, and refined.
Headphone amplifiers in tandem with DACs are an invaluable tool for music lovers and audiophiles whether on-the-go or at home. We offer a large selection of quality devices from respected manufacturers such as NuForce and FiiO to ensure that you will find an amp or DAC that will meet your demands of quality and value. Whether you own on-ear headphones, over-ear headphones or any other headphone type, Sonic Electronix has the amp that will fit your need.

Why would one choose an uncapping plane vs. an uncapping knife? Is there an applicaton where one is better than the other?
Why would one choose an uncapping plane vs. an uncapping knife? Is there an applicaton where one is better than the other?
I think it's a matter of scale. Larger operations will use a plane. Even larger operations will use a chain uncapper.
I've been told that the uncapping plane puts less stress on your wrist than the knife. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm looking into it or an automatic uncapper for next year because the knife was just too much for my wrist with the increased number of frames I did this year.
The plane is great if you have good even drawn comb. For shallows, you only need one swipe. With mediums, you may need two passes per side. There is a guide that allows you to just use the wooden frame as a guide and it is fast and easy. Much easier than a knife. Only downside is that if the comb is not drawn out the same, you may need to hit it with a knife or a fork. It speeds the process in half for uncapping, if not more.
With the knife I can use the point to hit any low spots, and adjust my depth or angle to adapt to the flow of the comb. It is harder on the wrists though when doing many frames.
I like the plane, have the knife handy, and hate the fork.
I love my plane. my wife got it for me for xmas last year and it really does save on your wrist. You have to watch out just like the knife there is not thermostate on it so it can scorch pretty good.
I think bjornbee covered it well. I wish they would make a plane to cover the entire span of a medium frame. My plane has a thermostat. If I am not mistaken, I believe the heating element in my plane is replaceable. The heating elements in the knives I have used are not.
Most catalogs or articles show the plane being used incorrectly -- or at least in a poor manner, holding the top bar, balancing the frame and positioning the plane vertically, trying to drag it across the comb surface. Good way to burn your fingers.
It should be used horizontally, i.e. you lay the frame down and draw the plane across it (toward you). The frame can be laid across two 1" wooden strips fixed across the uncapping bin at the appropriate distance apart.
The plane is nice, because it is easier on the wrist (much) and the cappings curl up in the reservoir of the plane body. Tip it over and they fall out nicely.
The only disadvantage I have seen, having used a plane exclusively for many years, is that it doesn't shave the comb clear down to the level of the wood if you space the combs widely in the supers. Works about right for 9 frame spacing. With 8 fr. spacing and a plane you can't get slice the comb down flush like you can with a knife.
where can I find an uncapping plane. Dadant and Mann Lake catalogs dont carry them that I could see.
Once I was extracting and really behind the clock when my hot knife decided to quit. In the heat of the moment, I grabed my wifes' electric carving knife. It worked great. I have never gone back to the hot knife method of uncapping.
Were there any problems using the electric carving/fillet knife ?? I have a few around. Do you ever slice into the frame, for instance ??
I'd be interested in knowing the info on this too! haven't bought an uncapping knife yet; think elect. kitchen knives lots cheaper than 75 bux?
OK I ralked to the wife about useing her electric carving knife and got a BAD look and was told to go buy my own [img]smile.gif[/img] so I just got back from Big Lots they have them for 8 bucks now if I can only find it come extracting time

Felice Frankel
Eric J. Heller is professor of physics and chemistry at Harvard University. When we met a few years ago, I was first drawn to Eric's incredible landscape photographs. (I professionally photographed the designed landscape for many years.) He had the remarkable ability to "see" and capture various metaphors of science within the natural landscape. Now he is producing other types of images specifically related to his work and has been exhibiting them around the country.
F. F. Can you first tell us what we are seeing?
E. H. "Transport II" shows the flow pattern for electrons riding over a bumpy landscape. The electrons are trapped in a sheet at the interface between two solids. Such sheets of electrons are of great importance in cutting-edge electronics, forming the basis for sophisticated transistors. The electrons were launched in all directions evenly, one at a time. What you see are their accumulated tracks. The area seen here would correspond in size to a bacterium. The bumpy landscape that the electrons must negotiate is caused by the irregular arrangement of positively charged "donor" atoms in a layer lying just above the flat interface in which the electrons are traveling. The electrons are attracted to regions with more positive charges nearby, and since these charges are randomly arranged the electrons feel hills and valleys of repulsion and attraction. The electrons have more than enough energy to ride over the highest hills, but they are slightly deflected this way and that as they pass by.
F. F. You obviously think visually in your work. Has this always been the case?
E. H. I have always taken a very visual and intuitive approach to my research, which involves the application of quantum mechanics to various problems in the atomic world. I produce images as a regular part of my research, as do many scientists these days. The visual processing power we carry around with us is enormous, and the right image can go a long way to prove a key point or leave a lasting impression on a colleague.
F. F. Do you believe your approach gives you a perspective that leads to new ideas?
E. H. Absolutely. For example, in this image, the concentrations of electron flow into branches are newly discovered indirect effects of that bumpy ride. The branching was not anticipated; it was thought that the flow would be more evenly spread out some distance from the center. This has significant implications for small electronic devices of the future.
F. F. How did you produce the image?
E. H. The image comes from a numerical simulation that closely approximates what is seen experimentally, using extremely sensitive probes that can sample thousands of data points inside a space as small as a typical bacterium. I wrote the computer algorithms that produced the image pixel by pixel. About 15 different algorithms are represented in the exhibits; the algorithm for this one was written in Fortran, an older computer language favored by many scientists.
F. F. Your work has appeared in many exhibitions. We both know what hard work it takes to create an exhibit. Tell us, what do you get from all the effort?
E. H. Imagery is a formidable tool for teaching our colleagues, ourselves and, just as important, the public. For me, the best reward has been to see nonscientists take delight in the images, and then ask about the science behind them. This makes it all worthwhile.

Each year, the World Children's Baseball Fair (WCBF) gives the opportunity for teams of five children and a chaperone from countries around the world to learn and play baseball together. The Fair, which was started by two famous baseball players, Sadaharu Oh and Hank Aaron, is hosted in Taiwan and 19 countries participate. The real and most important reason why the Fair is held is so that kids can use baseball as an international language to create important and long-lasting friendships. I was lucky enough to attend the fair, along with a fellow TFK Kid Reporter Gabe Roy. (Click here to read Gabe's story about the trip.)
Each morning we participated in baseball clinics at a stadium. The first thing we did was stretch. Then we would start the lesson. One clinic taught us how to catch a baseball correctly, while another taught us the proper way to pitch. At the end of the day, we would always play a game of baseball. The coaches were supportive and made me feel secure, which I found really helped me play. Some kids were great at hitting or catching, while others didn't do as well. However, nobody cared as long as you did your best. After the clinics ended, we all shook hands or joked about our blunders. I really enjoyed playing baseball with the other teams and the clinic coaches.
Off the Diamond
Some of the most memorable experiences were when we went on field trips. One of my favorite field trips was when we visited a traditional Taiwanese restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant, which was built using bamboo, little bowls of paint were set out, and we painted fans and traditional farmer hats. Then we went to another room and used ancient stone grinders to smash rice grains until it produced a thin liquid. Since the grinders were man-powered, we got to grind the rice. It was really fun, but hard work! After an eternity of rice grinding, we made a special tea of nuts, seeds and grains. It gave me the feeling of being a mad scientist.
On August 4, the U.S. team stood in the hostel's lobby, saying goodbye to our new friends and promising to keep in touch. It was a bittersweet ending to our baseball adventure. As we walked to the bus with our friends, we gave out last-minute hugs and exchanged more business cards. It's a scene I will never forget, a hopeful moment of the possibility that I will see them again someday. I am sure that all 19 international teams would like to join me in thanking the WCBF for the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you, WCBF, from the bottom of my heart.

There's no cure for multiple system atrophy. Management of the disease involves treating signs and symptoms to make you as comfortable as possible and to maintain your body functions and capabilities.
To treat specific signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend:
Medications to raise blood pressure. Medications such as the corticosteroid fludrocortisone can increase your blood pressure by leading to more retention of salt and water. This drug, which is a steroid, is often prescribed on a twice-a-day regimen.
The drug pyridostigmine (Mestinon) can raise your standing blood pressure without increasing your blood pressure while you're lying down.
Other medications to increase standing pressure, such as midodrine (Orvaten), are available and can raise your blood pressure quickly; however, midodrine has been shown to elevate pressure while lying down, which can increase the risk of stroke in some people.
The FDA has recently approved droxidopa (Northera) for treating orthostatic hypotension. The most common side effects of droxidopa include headache, dizziness and nausea.
Medications to reduce Parkinson's-like signs and symptoms. Certain anti-Parkinson's medications, such as combined levodopa and carbidopa (Parcopa, Sinemet), can be used to reduce Parkinson's-like signs and symptoms, such as stiffness, balance problems and slowness of movement, as well as improve an overall feeling of well-being.
However, not everyone with multiple system atrophy responds to Parkinson's drugs, and the effectiveness of these medications may decline after a few years of therapy.
A physical therapist can help you maintain as much of your motor and muscle capacity as possible as the disorder progresses. A speech-language pathologist can help you learn to improve or maintain your speaking ability.

I began working on this costume in November of '11 and didn't actually end up taking photos of it until sometime in July of '12… I'm not particularly thrilled with how it turned out (fabric choices). However, I do really like Catwoman as a character and had been eager to dress up as her. So, this is the result!
The bodysuit was really straighforward and I made up a quick pattern for the hood with cat ears (which I really wish I'd modified a little so that the point in the front didn't flip up!). The whip was purchased online and I just added a little cat charm that I cut from aluminum. The glasses/goggles were also bought online and modified by taking off the earpieces and adding points to the tops.

Pirate I got a question I hope you have some advice for.
I just started messing with my kit & receiver, I got the receiver stub off the barrel and was comparing the barrel to the receiver. I got a Vector receiver and the barrel hole is about .090" smaller then the OD of the barrel.
I really don't want to turn that much off the barrel, unless I have to.
Do you have any suggestions how to open up the receiver hole any more?
My mill isn't big enough and I don't see anyway to use the lathe.
I got all the kits prepped, these are some most excellent looking kits, Jerry did a great job of selecting them. they have really nice wood as well as like new metal.
I got 3 of the 5 machine operations done on the bolt carriers and should have them complete by the end of the day friday. then I will be able to start barrel installation next week.
Anyone want to sell a front stub like that in the photo, with the threads intact?
I split the stubs to get them off, they are scrap.
Thanks Pirate
Thank you Pirate for moving your forums to Gunco.
I have now lost ANY small desire I ever had to open a shop like yours.
Best wishes for continued success & I'm staying retired to play with my own projects on MY time....Heh.....Heh

Auckland ferry operator Sealink says trains are gobbling up too much public money, depriving the two-harbour city of superior water transport.
It claims in a submission to Auckland Transport that billions of dollars are going to the least efficient transport service - one "generally located in the least desirable parts" of the city.
"Auckland's defining feature is its maritime environment and ferries historically played a far more significant role in the city's public transport than they do currently," the submission says.
Sealink managing director Todd Bolton told the Herald that 70 per cent of Aucklanders lived within 3km of the coast.
The company wants Auckland Transport to back a wider network of passenger ferries to reach suburbs such as Howick and St Heliers in the east and Browns Bay and Takapuna to the north.
It also proposes circular routes in Waitemata Harbour similar to successful operations in Sydney, and vehicle ferries to Wynyard Wharf or Mechanics Bay from Devonport, Bayswater and Birkenhead.
"With relatively little effort and expenditure, certainly in comparison to the [$2.86 billion underground] City Rail Link, many vehicles can be taken off the severely congested choke point of the harbour bridge."
The submission - which is yet to be presented among 719 received by Auckland Transport on a regional public transport plan for hearings which began yesterday - notes that vehicle ferries plied several harbour routes until the bridge opened in 1959.
Sealink says its services are wholly unsubsidised; the overall recovery of Auckland ferry costs from fares averaged 78.4 per cent last year compared with 47.7 per cent for buses and 26.3 per cent for rail.
By boat
Suggested new services include:
* Howick to Auckland via St Heliers, Kohimarama and Devonport
* Gulf Harbour to Auckland via Browns Bay, Takapuna and Devonport
* Circular route between CBD, Devonport, Stanley Bay, Bayswater and Wynyard Wharf.

Where I stayed
On a rock
I drove through the Salt River Canyon on US-60 which was a great choice. Even though I later found out it would have saved me 30 minutes to take I-40 instead, I would do it again. The road carves along the path of the river with a lot of quick, narrow turns, and everything was so green. Passing lanes only came about every 10-20 miles. It wasn't quick, but I knew there were a lot of long straight aways coming. I tried to enjoy the scenery as much as I could while also trying to avoid thinking about the time until I could do something about it. Luckily, most drivers thought 10 over was reasonable.
About 20 miles from the Arizona/New Mexico state line, I came up on a car that looked just like mine. Only this one had some yellow letters printed on the bumper. The letters quickly became legible. "POLICE" I slowed down gradually, but he still let me catch up. He pulled over to let me pass and got right back on the road behind me. I couldn't wait to see what kind of Supertroopers they had out there just waiting for a dirty SUV with Washington plates to come rolling by at 10 over.
The speed limit increased quickly as we got out of the town and headed toward the border, but I'm not sure the cop realized that. It went from 45 to 55 to 65 in a matter of about a minute and he quickly became a spec on my rear-view mirror. So from 65, I proceeded to 75, 85, and by the time I crossed the border and could see for what seemed like 100 miles ahead of me, I pushed it to 95. I was cruising. Finally, I could gain some ground on the sun. Occasionally, a car would pass going the opposite direction, but I didn't come up on anyone headed East. My guess was everybody was going as fast or faster than me
The officer slowly walked up to my car as I rolled down the window and pulled my registration from the overhead compartment. He paused at the back seat window which I thought was odd. I was expecting either some sort of practical joke or a stern, "step out of the vehicle." Luckily, I think he was just putting in a fresh dip. After I handed my license and registration around the corner, he stepped up to the window. With slivers of chew all around his mouth, he said, "dis here's a 65 mile 'n hour zone. 'n welp...I clocked y'in at 99. Wer ya headed son?"
99 in a 65? I knew I was screwed. I tried to tell him about my trip and how I was just trying to get to this wonderful New Mexican landmark before the sun goes down, but I knew it was of no use. I can only hope doing 34 over the posted speed limit doesn't put me in jail. After about 10 minutes in his car, Officer Thorny came back with a some paperwork and a choice for me. Either I could agree to appear before a judge on Wednesday or pay a $206 fine within 30 days. I was shocked. I thought New Mexico litter laws were easy at just $300, but 99 in a 65 is a lesser crime than that? No wonder they have traffic signs suggesting you don't drink and drive
Even with our run in with the law, we had made up enough time to beat the sun. It did take some time to find a camp site, but we found a great one. The rest of the day is pretty well captured on video. I'll do my best to edit it and get it posted along with a couple others as soon as I can. Check back to see some great footage of a pretty awesome, not so well known area of New Mexico.

Yeah I have to wait and see what he does against a great offense( red font)...no seriously congrats to Blackburn.
very nice drop into coverage - pretty decent job runnning with a wideout too. Smart kid - plays hard - think he will get replaced by herzlich at some point - but not any time soon. Good job chase.
Chase at least plays like he cares... if only some other guys could too...

text: hi, I am very new to bee keeping, we live in Alice Springs, Central Australia. Our bees have become very 'inactive' over our very hot summer. We opened the hive (about 6 months old) and there is no honey or capped combs. Bees are still active inside the hive. Unfortunately we could not see the queen bee, but didn't want to open hive for along time. I put some sugar syrup out for them, but they have not gone to it- advise please!! Cheers
