text: I hope the owners of www.beeworks.com won't mind me advertising their site, but I just called them today, and apparently they have just received a shipment of Certan from Germany. Certan (actually, I think it's been renamed to "B401" or somesuch nondescript name) is the name for the type of BT that's effective on wax moths. I've heard that this stuff is hard or impossible to find in the USA, so I thought I'd pass along the info. From what I gather, you dilute the stuff 1:15, put it in a sprayer, and just spray the frames. One bottle (about $20) will do 100 frames, making it pretty expensive if you've got alot of hives. On the plus side, apparently it works both as a curative as well as a preventative. Hope this helps someone who has wax moths.

i agree that redskins are gonna have to dramatically improve their o-line or else he's gonna keep getting hit hard. that's what happens when your that type of qb in the nfl. your gonna keep taking those big hits throughout your entire career. the giant just need to be more physical on defense both in the trenches and in the secondary to combat rg3. even without that physicality they still nearly swept them this year. all they had to do was make a fg in the second game.
Skins fans have been getting a little ****y as of late so its nice for them to get a little taste of humility. On the other hand, the Seahawks are for real. Russell Wilson is a great kid and Pete Carroll is an acquired taste.
Some might be confusing the rush coming through almost every play as a bad thing.
It's what the option does. It attacks the defence based on the space that the rush leaves, and now you've got O-lineman attacking the linebackers and safties.
When you've got that and a QB that can read pre-snap coverages plus the option, and a RB that's tough and quick enough to matter, you've got a very deceptive offense.
No gimmick's here... all deception.
my beer drinking team has a football problem
im not saying its all on the o-line but i think it might benefit him if he had an above average o-line and i don't think their o-line is that.
I'm all in for the Seahawks.......they are on a run like we had last year

Few took the fledgling Tea Party movement seriously in 2009. Then, in 2010, Tea Party candidates began toppling political icons nationwide.
Now Tea Partiers have set their sights on public schools, calling for massive funding cuts. Using the recession and state budget woes as political cover, many Tea Party zealots seek to dismantle or starve the traditional public school infrastructure.
Not surprisingly, most websites and candidates associated with the movement also call for the rapid expansion of charter schools, vouchers, tuition tax credits, and other parent choice mechanisms.
Ironically, given the apparently widespread belief among many Tea Party advocates that the nation's public schools are irretrievably broken, the movement has begun encouraging candidates to run in local school board elections.
Voters, it seems, are getting angrier and staying mad longer. Misinformation abounds, spread worldwide 24/7 by bloggers and social media savants.

the saints only real shot at the playoffs is that second wild card and right now they have tampa, minnesota, and seattle in front of them. the first wild card will most likely go to whoever finishes second in the nfc north.
God knows why they abandoned the run in the second half. They did nothing yo take pressure off of Brees, even though it was obvious he was struggling.
His consecutive games with a TD pass is gone now also. At 5-7 I think their playoff hopes are gone. They'll come prepared for the Giants next Sunday, but I think if the Giants jump out to a double digit lead the Saints will lay down and play dead.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Pukekohe's new curves add plenty more race thrills
It's not often you get a chance to ride in a Bathurst 1000 winning V8 Supercar with the defending champion at the wheel.
Driven leaped at the chance to be hurled around the revamped Pukekohe circuit in Casey Stoner's Development Series car (Craig Lowndes' old model now that the 2013 Car Of The Future has been introduced) in the hands of Jamie Whincup.
From the outside, these V8s may look like a distant cousin of the road-going model, but inside it's a different ball game.
The dash is reminiscent of an early Nasa workstation, with big switches and even bigger lights.
Modern technology is clearly evident in the form of the high-tech rev counter and multi-function display that allows the driver to scroll through everything from lap times to brake-bias. As for the rest of the interior, you might as well be in a prison cell: all bars and bare metal. Mind you, the seat is nice and snug.
The Red Bull Racing Australia car started with a series of clicks, whirs, and clunks then a resounding bang as the engine roared into life. If you can imagine a bucket of nuts and bolts being put into a mechanical paint mixer you wouldn't be far off. Throw in the whine of straight-cut gears, limited slip diffs, no soundproofing and you get the idea.
Accelerating towards turn one, the noise doesn't get any quieter, but seems to smooth out. Loud, but sort of pleasant, making the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.
As we get up to speed through turn one and head towards the "esses" my body is thrown from side to side with the G-forces. As we exit the right-hander on to the back straight my head is slammed back into the headrest.
Just as I start to appreciate how stable the car is at high speed, halfway down the back straight I'm thrown hard against the harness. If I had eaten anything it would now be on the inside of the windscreen. As it is, I feel as if I've been eviscerated. We've just gone from about 250km/h to around 75km/h in about 100m.
I'd forgotten a new set of corners had been added to the track. We flick right, left, then right again back onto the old circuit. That addition is going to make for some interesting braking and passing duels. I was just trying to keep my eyes pointing in the same direction.
Into the hairpin and then it's flat on the gas as we weave up towards the mountain with the rear end moving around like it was doing a tango. The car gets pretty light up over the crest of the hill and the G forces have the helmet wedged tight against the roll cage.
I reckon the passengers in a V8 Supercar wear a helmet to avoid concussion. There is no way mere mortals have enough neck muscle strength to hold their head still and mine was being pinged around the inside like a crazy ball.
Watching Whincup at work inside his office, rather than from the stands, is something truly amazing. His hands are never still and his feet are all over the pedals like he's doing the Bossa Nova or something.
He even kindly took me through the experience of leaving the track. He was too hot going into the esses, getting out of shape shooting up the curb, across the grass and then bouncing back onto the track again. Whincup did this without a blink of an eye, never really lifting off, as if it was an everyday experience.
I asked him afterwards if we were going for it. "The tyres are pretty much gone but we were pushing it pretty much on the limit," said Whincup.
Well, that explains a fair bit - gee, that was a hell of a ride and a one-off experience.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects.

Ridgefield Park students help their peers
Ridgefield Park students have responded to the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. with two projects to help their peers at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
When the unspeakable becomes reality, feelings of powerlessness, fear and anger can leave people feeling helpless in the wake of senseless tragedy. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School has engendered such reactions across the nation, after 20 children and six educators were killed Dec. 14.
But, kindness, compassion and affirmative steps to restore a sense of normalcy can temper the effects of tragedy, and aid in healing, school officials said.
As a result, students across the nation are participating in an effort, spearheaded by the Connecticut Parent Teacher Student Association, to create snowflakes which will adorn the new school of the students displaced by the Sandy Hook massacre.
After the tragedy, the association's website announced the project: "Connecticut PTSA is deeply saddened by the tragedy that has struck our Newtown community. We have met with the PTA and community leaders in Newtown and Sandy Hook Elementary to offer our assistance at this very difficult time," the statement read.
"They have asked us to spearhead 'Snowflakes for Sandy Hook' to allow the students of Sandy Hook to have a winter wonderland at their new school."
In Ridgefield Park, the students of Roosevelt, Lincoln and Grant Schools will be participating in the snowflake making project.
Superintendent Christopher Onorato said the project aims to help the students in Connecticut cope with the tragedy.
"Our students are participating in the spirit of hoping, in some small way, to help ease the difficult transition Sandy Hook School children will have to make," he said.
Onorato indicated that the teachers will be given the option of telling their students why they are making the snowflakes and where they are going, or simply telling the students that the snowflake project is a seasonal craft.
Age-appropriate decisions will be made in this regard, Onorato explained.
Under the direction of guidance counselor Jamie Hasselberger, the Ridgefield Park Chapter of the National Honor Society will participate in Snowflakes for Sandy after the holiday recess.
Members will be selling snowflakes and sending the money donated to the fund that has been created by the PTSA in Connecticut.
The Ridgefield Park School District will also participate in "Coins for Sandy Hook." Students and staff will collect spare change for the project to support their peers at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The school community has been deeply affected by the tragedy, Onorato said.
"On Tuesday evening, Dec. 18, in a gym packed with students and adults for our home boys' varsity basketball game, our announcer asked for a moment of silence in honor of the people that lost their lives and for the grieving families in the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy," he remembered.
"You could literally hear a pin drop for nearly a full minute. That told me all I needed to know about how everyone in our school community aches over this "horrible event."
In nearby Cliffside Park, the district's elementary school "students will also participate in the Snowflakes for Sandy Hook project.
Michael Ryan, a teacher at School 3, explained that the school's staff is working to make any discussions about the Connecticut shooting age appropriate.
"Due to the age of the students in our building, we must balance between 'memorials' and 'upsetting' the kids," he said.
Ryan said the teachers are also participating in a dress-down fundraiser. "The teachers are donating the money to the United Way who is working with Newton Savings Bank, and the money will be given to Sandy Hook Elementary."According to the Connecticut PTSA, anyone can make and send snowflakes by Jan. 12, 2013 to the Connecticut PTSA, 60 Connolly Parkway, Building 12, Suite 103, Hamden, CT 06514.

Based on a recipe of the Shakers, a Quaker splinter group that flourished in the Eastern U.S. in the mid-19th century, this marinade derives its flavor from a hefty jolt of cider vinegar and lots of chopped shallots. Apple-wood chips are our first choice for smoking, but maple and hickory impart great flavor as well.

Serves 4
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
Whisk vinegar, oil and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in shallots and garlic. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 3 hours.
Step 2
Meanwhile, soak wood chips in a bowl of water for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Fold a 12-by-20-inch piece of heavy-duty foil in half to create a 12-by-10-inch double-thick piece. Transfer wet wood chips to the center of the foil, allowing as much water as possible to drip back into the bowl. Create a packet by folding the short ends of the foil over the wood chips and folding the open ends to seal them.
Step 4
Place the packet of wood chips, pierced-side up, under the grill rack and on top of the burners. Close the lid. Turn the heat to high and allow the grill and packet to heat until the chips smell smoky and smoke begins to billow from under the lid, about 15 minutes (don't worry if the packet temporarily catches on fire). Make 6 holes in the top of the foil packet using a skewer or the tip of a knife.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken to the grill, allowing excess marinade to drip back into the bowl (discard marinade). Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve hot or chilled.

Graduate class largest on record for Salish Kootenai College
MISSOULA, Mont. - NBC Montana attended the Salish Kootenai College commencement ceremony in Pablo Saturday afternoon.
Officials say it was the largest graduation class there ever.
198 degrees were awarded to 190 students.
To top it off, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan was the featured speaker.
"I think SKC is doing a great job of creating opportunity and helping young people you know, take the next step in life," said Duncan.
"They're behind you all the way, they give you all you need. There are so many ways to get scholarships and grants through this school," said graduate Danielle Rochte.
"I learned a lot. It was just amazing. I made a lot of friends and the education was awesome," said another graduate Kourtnie Gopher.
"People were willing to help you when you had a problem. Teachers were open when you asked for help," said graduate Egan Black.
Several graduates that NBC Montana talked with, already have jobs lined up.

The technology of touch
As we move through the world, we have an innate sense of how things feel — the sensations they produce on our skin and how our bodies orient to them. Can technology leverage this? In this fun, fascinating TED-Ed lesson, learn about the field of haptics, and how it could change everything from the way we shop online to how dentists learn the telltale feel of a cavity.

As promised, here is the delicious Indian flatbread, naan, I served with the Chicken with Green Curry Sauce.
From Andreas Recipes, this is the perfect accompaniment to any curry dish.
I know I will be making this many, many more times.
The bread is light and chewy and perfect for dipping in a delicious sauce. Yum!
- 14 ounces (about 2 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt (I only had vanilla yogurt and while it sounds like a bad substitution, I used it and the bread tasted fabulous!)
- 1/2 cup milk
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl by hand), stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and yeast. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, yogurt, and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir for about 1 minute, until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into the wet ingredients.
- Increase machine speed to 2 (or by hand) and knead the dough until it is smooth and shiny. Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover with a towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until the dough doubles in size, about an hour.
- Put a baking stone or heavy baking sheet on the lowest rack of your oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees for at least 30 minutes prior to baking.
- Divide the dough into eight pieces and form into teardrop (mine were more like oval) shapes with your hands, about 6 to 8 inches across.
- Cook two or three pieces at a time. Drop the dough onto the hot stone and shut the oven door, watching until they are just starting to turn brown in places, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the naan and lay on a board. Serve warm with a nice curry. (The original recipe says to butter the naan with garlic butter after it comes out of the oven but I did this with the first batch and found it made the bread too greasy for my taste – we much preferred the bread soft and tender without the butter. Follow your tastes and do what you prefer!)

I just won this on fleabay. I was the only bidder!
I just won this on fleabay. I was the only bidder!
Nice score!
That, and the ASI rings you beat me out of... :LOL
Sorry to steal those from you.
Yea, I guess the old fleabay has been nice to me lately. I usually don't go there much because I hate auctions, and bidding. It seems I always get outbid, but once and a while you get lucky.
Very cool! How much did you get it for?
congrats bud! that is an awesome find! you are going to have a full original parts costume before you know it...
Yea I wish. I don't think that will be an easy thing to do, but I can try! I have been looking for the Michell turntable parts with no luck, and I know a lot of older DJs, Sound techs, recording studio guys, etc..and many of them collect old stuff like that.
The search is half the fun, and the reward is greater when you find it.
I got the sweep arm for $125
still looking for the Casio
slave1pilot, Where did you find it?
Oh yea, sorry i forgot to say I got the MQ-1 for $75
I got the sweep arm on ebay
well done on the MQ-1
I want as real one, but I currentl run a custom calc pad made by a friend of mine
It has the symbols in Aurebesh instead
Great score! Congrats!
Did the seller know what he had? Was it listed as a SW item or just as a calculator?
The seller knew it was a Star Wars prop. It was part of the title. What really got me is that I was the only one who even bid on it.
Nice snag!!!! I hate to sound like Pompus ***, but I got my casio for $1.00 at a garage sale!! LOL
Seriously though, I've not seen one of those go for less than $100 for a looooong time!!! Even though I got mine for nuthin basically, I would still say you got a really heck of a good deal on yours!!! If I hadn't haven't got lucky with mine, I was prepared to spend much more than $75 to get a real one!!!! Again..good snag!!!
How cool was that!?!?!?! Normal day, see a garage sale sign, decide to stop, look down and BANG! there was the MQ-1?
For only a Dollar!
Did you pee on yourself?
Well, no...didn't pee myself, but I was shaking so bad that I had to send my dad (who was along with me,) up to pay for it!!! No kiddin...I was actually shaking I was so jazzed!!!! LOL

It's too bad, I'm too good....
I believe it's 80% luck and 20% skill. Drafting is not luck and that is the most important part of any fantasy league.
I love the fact that LT beat you J**** and gave me the 2 seed. 1 more win and my streak of never finishing worse than 3rd continues. But of course I'm going to win the league so we won't even think about that.
I added hartline, defenses, and handcuffs when Lewis and McKnight lost their jobs. None if my starters weren't drafted
MH got himself a win by picking up the Jets D. It's ironic that if Tynes makes that FG Sharick wins and so do the Giants most likely.

Nelson, nice.
NZ is a cool spot. Lived there for a couple years, would take it over Canada in a second. Quite fond of Whangarei.
http://www.sovereignman.com/ Try this website. He's got a lot of great info that you will find very useful.
I don't know what my major is going to be yet, I have a myriad of interests I can't pin myself down yet. I'm most going there because I have family that live 15 minutes from Norman and because of all the money being thrown at me. It's a shame you graduate this year, I won't be showing up until August so I won't get to meet a fellow anarchist.
No, I haven't, that's why I asked. I'm mostly motivated because I'd rather not be on a sinking ship. Empires never make graceful falls and you can never know how messy things will become.
Wow, Bill, great site! Thanks for the link.
One of the easiest question I could answer, having considered the question, where would I rather live than the U.S.
Patagonia...with no second choice, I might add.
I would strongly advise against majoring in economics. If I were to do it over again, I would have done something much more technical. The major with the highest average starting pay at OU is petroleum engineering at about $80,000!
Personally, I am very happy with my decision to move to New Hampshire. Lots of anarcho-capitalists up here as well as a general libertarian streak amongst everybody else.
Murphy and Long are going to speak at Porc Fest this year, I hope a bunch of other Misesians come too.
Seems like most of the hardcore types up here know about AE and mises.org, and are good on basic concepts and hate the state and all that, but the vast majority of them aren't too committed to really studying praxeology in great detail. More Austrians wanted!!
@ Brutus
Ya like Huey Lewis and the News?
New Hampshire - Free State Project. Definitely.
I hope to leave one day, too, in the near future - to the Republic of Texas.
I live in Texas. Secession is the only solution to the incorrigible U.S. federal government.
In South America - Chile, Argentina and to some extent Brazil. The thing about Latin American culture is that it treats forigners as honoured guest. Which is why Doug Casey lives down there as he explains.
In Europe - Poland some of the Nordic northern countries perhaps Ukraine and Estonia? There also the 5 European micro states The Vatican, Malta, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Andorra. Although some of thest city-states are very adverse to immigration which does not have to be a bad thing.
Asia - Hong Kong although the treaty that was drafted between China ad the U.K that started in 1997 maintains Hong Kongs soverignty for 50 years, after which it becomes completely assimilated intto China.
Singapore is just like the other micro states.
Taiwan, NZ, come to mind as well.
Africa - nowhere.
THe most serene republic of San Marino.
Its really serene.
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
How's about Andorra, or Monaco?
Well, actually, I think you have to have your net worth at least in the millions to get...I don't know...a project apartment in Monaco.
I'm living in Hong Kong, now. If you at least have some skills which are of use in the financial sector, you can be guaranteed an extremely good life (especially if you're white).
Outside of that, pick up the qualifications required to teach English... native English speakers can earn a bomb, here (especially if you're white), and you don't even have to know Cantonese/Mandarin (though I imagine it helps if you want to teach at levels more advanced than young children).
Failing those two, you could still easily have a fairly good life here (especially if you're white... noticing the pattern?)
As for long term trends in HK, and the influence of the mainland:
Last week, I bared witness so something I had never before seen in my life: a march against communism. When was the last time you guys saw anything like that? I think HK is going to be a healthy place to be for quite some time, as the people themselves know the damages of communism first hand.
The people of Hong Kong respect their freedom and they respect capitalism, that's not going to be something that you can find easily in this world.
Rules and regulations are growing thick and fast in Hong Kong, though... but they are far from a tipping point. The mainland Government is slowly filling the HK political institutions with puppets... how long before it reaches "critical mass", I don't know.
The people of Hong Kong are unarmed, and are generally small and weak... their culture is one of politeness and introversion, if the mainland wanted to perform a more hostile takeover... I do not think there would be much in the way of a counter-fight.
There are other issues you need to consider, other than freedom. With Hong Kong, for example, forget having a house... you're going to be in an apartment for the rest of your life. Driving will probably never happen. Personal space and privacy is something of a commodity, and there are some RICH players in the game.
If you happen to like greenspace or good air, also not a great place. You do have some beautiful beaches, particularly in places like Lamma Island... but the main city is just block-after-block of concrete sprawl.
No matter where you move to, though... you will find yourself pining for home. The problem is: you only notice the things you dislike... the things you like, you take for granted, and you don't even realise you like them... it's only when you lose it, you realise you miss it. Taking action that will stop you from ever returning home, might seem like a good idea in the short run, but could end up costing you in the long term.
Anyways, my two cents, and my return on the Hong Kong suggestion. Notice I didn't tell you whether to move, either way... just gave you some of the pros and cons of the place. Personally, I would have a second home in Hong Kong, but my primary residence elsewhere... I value nature and clean air too highly.
I've been to Andorra.... extremely expensive place, and not much in the way of work.
If you can ski, and have the relevant qualifications... you can be a ski instructor, and that pays fairly well.
Small country, so it's a close-knit community, and the place is absolutely beautiful in the winter.
Still, I don't think it's a place you can live 365 days a year. There's just not much to do there, and the economy is fairly weak during the off-season.
Sounds like HK would be a great temporary residence. I know a British-South African guy who lives in Shenzhen:
I'd also like to try South America, can you tell me anything about some of the countries there?


text: Here are some pics of a recently arrived Bo Katan helmet (woo hoo!). My kid was excited. I went ahead and did a quick trim of the visor area (thank you dremel). It will need a tad more sanding/trimming in the inside but I think it is a mighty fine helmet. I am thinking for the rest of the build to use a unitard for the main body, then probably a heavy cotton for the vest as suggested in a previous post. I am assuming 3mm sintra is the way to go for the armor plates. My daughter is a tween so I am thinking of doing a standard mando DW pattern for the armor as opposed to giving cups. I know Bo Katan has cups, but then she is also a grown woman (am I too worried about this?). So I guess instead of a Bo Katan she'll be her lesser known little sister, Go Katan (or would No-Go Katan be more appropriate?) :) Wish me luck!

We did the final racking on Friday and the mead looks and actually tastes great already! We will bottle it in a couple weeks and let it sit, including letting a couple bottles sit for a year or two to age. It ended up coming out to 15.1% ABV.
We are going to carbonate half the batch and just let the other half sit. In total it's 5 gallons worth of good stuff!
Thanks again Vance!

text: Tenancy in common is a type of shared ownership of property, where each owner owns a share of the property. Unlike in a joint tenancy, these shares can be of unequal size, and can be freely transfered to other owners both during life and via a will. Even if owners own unequal shares, however, all owners have the right to occupy and use all of the property. If A and B own a house as tenants in common, there is no problem if A owns 1/3 of the house and B owns 2/3, and no problem if A decides to sell his share to C.

It's On: AOL Readies for Second Digital Content NewFront
Apr 30, 2013
Three years ago, AOL placed a big bet on video. Through the acquisitions of 5min Media and goviral and significant investments in video, AOL has grown to be the #1 premium curated video network. Our goal is to bridge the gap between TV and digital video – be it quality, reach or measurement.
At this year's NewFront we're looking to the future of video. We will showcase our high-quality original programming slate, unique advertising formats, powerful distribution at scale and industry-leading analytics.
We'll kick things off with our 2013 Summer/Fall original programming lineup that features a variety of content that we're creating across categories like food, sports, fashion, health, autos and more. We're partnering with well-known celebs and influencers on the rise who already have digital audiences, as well as the passion to grow their online footprint. AOL has the scale and data needed to produce great content that we know consumers want to watch.
We'll also announce the launch of Be On – a new branded entertainment platform. As the interest for native advertising continues to grow, we are helping brands become publishers. Brands can be smoothly integrated next to our amazing content. From creation to distribution to measurement. It's a global offering that includes the capabilities that we've been offering through the goviral platform plus even more.
We're bullish on measurement too. To date, there has been no apples-to-apples measurement for buyers to compare TV to digital video. We're ready to change that in a few ways. We've partnered with Nielsen on two different initiatives. The first, announced this morning, is a pilot program that will measure audiences for TV content viewed online. AOL is the only digital partner involved in this effort. The second is a collaboration that will measure the audience viewing AOL's library of over 620K premium videos against traditional TV. The AOL Video Reach (AVR) will provide audience measurement in the language that TV buyers know. Essentially, we'll be able to use comScore to measure ourselves against other web properties, and Nielsen to compare ourselves against TV.
Additionally, for the first time in history, digital inventory will be available in a traditional TV buying system through a partnership that AOL has forged with FreeWheel and Mediaocean. The market (broadcasters) cannot buy digital inventory today because we don't speak the same language. This deal allows broadcast buyers to compare AOL's inventory with TV inventory ... finally an apples to apples comparison.
We're ready to show the media industry that AOL is well-positioned for the merge of the digital and TV worlds as we continue our mission to bridge the gap between the two.
It's On!

Gadget Geek's Guide to Luxury Cameras
Cameras are one of the most used gadgets around and we've rounded up the best of the best.
Cameras are one of the most used gadgets around and we've rounded up the best of the best.
SC1630 Smart Camera Powered by Android
Polaroid has teamed up with Android to attract a new generation of consumers by means of marrying all the apps you get with your smartphone with a fully functional high-end camera. We had a look at the SC1630 Smart Camera at this year's CES and were pretty impressed by its capabilities. Basically it's an HD 16-megapixel camera with everything you look for in a smartphone, save the phone.

Leica à la carte
If you have your camera on you at all times, you may feel that it's more of a fashion accessory than a gadget. Who wouldn't want a camera that was handcrafted just to your specifications? Whether you want it to be decked out in a flashy neon casing or totally tasteful chrome, they can do it. With the Leica à la carte Configurator, you build your very own camera online based on a modular component system. After that, you can track its construction at their workshop facility. This will cost you a pretty penny, but it's an irreplaceable piece of art.
Depending on what you pick, it varies!
Nikon D4
If you're a camera pro, you know you'll eventually give in and buy the Nikon D4. This camera body is the Ferrari of high-quality professional cameras. It has full 1080p HD video capabilities and shoots 10/11 frames per second, taking gorgeous photos at 16.2 megapixels. We've been on a few film sets and have seen this camera in action (once even attached to the outside of a car in a high-speed chase!) and can vouch for its awesomeness.
FX format 100-12,800 ISO expandable to 204,800 HD video with stereo sound Interchangeable lenses
Hasselblad H4D-60
If you have $42,000 and change to shop around for your camera, good news! That's how much a Hasselblad H4D-60 digital SLR camera is going for. With its 60 megapixels, 80 mm f/2.8 lens and speedy autofocus, this mother of all cameras gives you incredibly crisp shots with every click of the shutter button. We really like that you're able to choose between tethering all your shots to a computer or storing your photos on a compact flash card. Surprisingly, an 8 GB CF card can hold an average of 100 images despite the high quality of the photographs.

SACRAMENTO -- With no opponent last year, Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla glided through the election season. But the Martinez Democrat, who now represents Vallejo and Benicia, spent campaign money as if she were fighting for her political life.
In burning through $407,000 of her donors' money in 2012, Bonilla took a half-dozen flights in and out of California, including a trip to Maui to be wined and dined by lobbyists. And she held dozens of lunches and dinners -- described in spending reports as "campaign strategy" meetings -- across the state, 62 in all. The tab: $11,567.
Bonilla was hardly alone in blurring the line between personal and professional uses of her campaign donations, an examination by MediaNews Group shows. Yet she and her colleagues can expect their spending sprees to go unchallenged.
It's a glaring weakness of California's campaign-finance reporting system, making it ripe for abuse: It's hard to verify whether the expenses of Bonilla and other politicians and office-seekers are legitimate. The law is vague, saying candidates can dip into their treasuries for anything with a political, legislative or governmental purpose. In addition, there are only minimal requirements when it comes to reporting -- saying how many people ate at a restaurant, the cost and location. And few questions are raised if those details are missing.
"We would like to see campaign spending regulated at a higher threshold so that the money is actually spent on campaigns and not used as slush funds," said Phillip Ung, a lobbyist for Common Cause, an organization that advocates for greater transparency in politics.
The state Franchise Tax Board and Fair Political Practices Commission conduct random audits on about 10 percent of the campaign finance forms candidates file with the Secretary of State's Office. But the tax board and FPPC, the state's political watchdog agency, focus mostly on egregious violations of the law, allowing many potential violations to slip by. And the Legislature has little interest in fixing a system that allows its members to treat themselves to expensive meals and trips, often gaining access to the powerful and connected.
Trips to far-flung, exotic destinations are increasingly commonplace. Former state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, last year spent $6,198 on a trip to Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and London. Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, spent $13,711 on two trips that took him to Moscow, London, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong.
"I know we get criticized for it, but we don't use public funds, there's no international quid pro quo, and it helps my understanding of different issues like high-speed rail," DeSaulnier said. "I understand that people think it's elitist, that it's something we're taking advantage of -- and I guess I enjoy the trips. But this makes me a better person, more knowledgeable about the global economy we live in."
Simitian agreed. Such trips "make us better legislators" by gaining a greater understanding of other cultures, said Simitian, who recently returned to his old job as a Santa Clara County supervisor.
Last year, former Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, was term-limited and had no election, but she pulled $329,252 out of her campaign kitty, which she says was necessary to lay the groundwork for a 2014 run for the state Board of Equalization.
She took more than 30 airplane trips, mostly in California. In addition, Ma doled out $44,268 for travel, lodging and meal expenses for Bob Twomey, her district director. But few details about Twomey's trips are provided in Ma's campaign reports, which don't say whom he traveled with, where he went and for what purpose.
Twomey told MediaNews Group the money was spent to fly nearly 200 interns around the state to attend political events, a group that he said was dubbed the "Ma Squad."
But when asked to show receipts for the expenditures, Twomey balked.
"I'm not sure that's required," Twomey said. "These are all legitimate expenses. You've got to feed them. Is there a way to verify? As far as doing additional disclosure, I'm not sure anybody is willing to do that."
Assemblywoman Nora Campos, D-San Jose, spent $1,829 on a Maui trip to attend the Pacific Policy Research Foundation conference, a weeklong retreat set up by lobbyists and big contributors to lavish luxury on legislators. She also spent $1,524 for a trip to Orlando, Fla., where she attended a five-day National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference with her husband and son. They stayed at a Disney World hotel.
"The trip was for educational purposes, and she wanted her son to be with her, so her husband accompanied her so he could baby-sit him," said Linda Rapattoni, Campos' spokeswoman, who added that "any expense paid for her husband and son were paid with personal funds."
Unless complaints of potential abuse are brought to the attention of the FPPC by the media or others, the expenses generally go unscrutinized.
The FPPC has 30 staff members in its enforcement unit, overseeing the campaign spending of thousands of elected officials and office-seekers, so its ability to track the abusers is limited, said Ung of Common Cause. And under FPPC Chairwoman Ann Ravel, the agency has placed a stronger emphasis on investigating larger cases -- such as the fraud case of Democratic treasurer Kinde Durkee and last fall's anonymous $11 million donation from secret out-of-state groups to a pair of ballot initiative campaigns.
Ravel indicated she wasn't sure whether sifting through restaurant and hotel receipts would be a good use of the FPPC's time. "You could be getting so much volume and requiring so much detail to get at a couple of scofflaws," she said.
But Bob Stern, a former top FPPC official who helped write California's original campaign finance regulations in 1974, argues that legislators and candidates should at the least be required to say not only how many people are attending a meal or fundraiser, but also who attended.
"You can't require them to record a conversation," Stern said. "So I guess I'd say, 'Who are you with? Are you with your wife or husband, or are you with your consultant? If you had a fundraiser, who gave to you and how much?'"
Referring to Assemblywoman Bonilla's "campaign strategy" lunches and dinners despite the fact that she ran unopposed, Stern said: "Clearly, 62 meals is a lot for a year. I'd question it."
In an interview, Bonilla said she was active in the campaigns for Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax-hike measure, and to defeat Proposition 32, the measure that would have curbed labor's political clout. She said she also helped out in other candidates' races.
The weekly meals at such establishments as the Salted Pig in Riverside and the Shady Lady Saloon in Sacramento "was the form of campaigning I engaged in," Bonilla said. "In this line of work, that's where a lot of meetings take place. You can't do them in your office, and most people are available to you in a meal."
Besides the trip to Maui, Bonilla also flew to legislative conferences in Monterey; San Diego; Pasadena; Portland, Ore.; Dallas; and Charlotte, N.C.
She said her Hawaii trip, at the lobbyist-sponsored Pacific Policy Research conference -- the same trip she and her husband had taken the previous year -- was to study cap-and-trade, the federal health care law and regulatory issues. In all, Bonilla used $3,706 from her campaign funds to attend the weeklong affair.
"It was certainly an enjoyable trip to Hawaii, but the actual time spent in conference was very substantive, and it was information I valued receiving," Bonilla said. "My choice was not to spend taxpayer dollars."
Not that she had much of a choice. State law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars on trips out of state.
At a glance:
* Joe Coto, the former Assembly member who lost a state Senate race to Jim Beall, D-San Jose, listed that 40 people attended an $8,000 fundraiser at Coyote Creek Golf Club. But he wasn't as forthcoming about a $4,950 fundraiser at an Oakland Raiders game, specifying only that the money went for game tickets. Coto also paid his daughter Lisa, who appeared in a TV ad with him, $24,080 as a consultant.
* Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Salinas, provided intricate details about some of his expenditures. He reimbursed a staff member $43.09 for helium for balloons at a campaign event. But he didn't go into details of a pair of trips, in April and June, to Arizona with a "household member" that cost $961. He provided no details about a US Airways $449 flight in October, or two Southwest Airlines flights worth $680 in January. He also spent $3,389 on artwork and frames for his office.
* Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Oakley, listed two payments totaling $991 for Humphrey's on the Delta, a steak and seafood restaurant at the Barbara Price Marina Park in Antioch -- under the campaign paraphernalia/miscellaneous category. There were no details on what paraphernalia or miscellaneous items were bought there, nor how many people were fed.
* Sen. Bill Monning, D-Santa Cruz, spent $999.68 for candidate and staff lodging at the Luxe Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. There are no details on what the purpose was or the length of the stay, or even when. Nor did he report how many staff members went on the trip. He also provided no details about four stays at the Best Western in Sacramento ($477) or a night at the Peachtree Inn in San Luis Obispo ($177). He did provide the number of guests -- five -- who ate with him at the Wild Donkey Cafe in San Luis Obispo for $167.
* Candidates in legislative races can receive up to $4,100 from individual donors in each primary or general election.
* Candidates running for a legislative seat have no limits on the money they can accept or spend.
* If candidates accept voluntary funding limits (a rare occurrence) that include matching funds from the state, they are limited to spending $400,000 in Assembly primary races and $700,000 in general elections. Candidates in Senate races accepting the funding limits can spend up to $600,000 in primaries and $900,000 in general elections.

Clean and Quiet room it felt very private and the host was really accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and the location was really quit but still close to the Metro so we could get anywhere in city without trouble.
Thank you for a good time
The room was nice, clean and well equipped. The area is calm but not too far from the center. Especially at this price level it is a great mixture of being in the city but still giving the opportunity to relax in a not too crowded area in Paris.
The room is completely seperate and individually accessable, since you get your own keys to the house, the appartment, and the room itself.
The only flaw might be the communication, which didn't go all well in our case. We had minor misunderstandings, concerning our departure time, maybe due to language problems.
We had a great time staying at this comfortable place. The neighbourhood is very nice and it is pretty easy to get to the city centre. Many thanks to Michele and her husband.
The appartement we rend at Michelles place was very good,. It is situated on the groundfloor in an area of Paris that is near the beginning of metro line 1, the most important metro line of Paris. There was a nice welcome and we had a double bed and a bathroom and separate toilet of our own. We had cofee and tea in the romm and we borrowd a knife from Michelle and her husband. Very friendly people. We slept well and the neighbourhood was not crowed, not noisy, not expensive, but everything was nearby.
Me and my girlfriend spend 5 days in Paris. Here are our pros and cons:
+ the rooms were very, very clean and the bathroom is new
+ the room is five minutes away from the metro-station (Pte de Vincennes, line 1)
+ you can come and go as you want
+ the wifi worked very well, the connections was good
+ the room is in a quiet environment
- the walls are very thin, so you here almost everything that happens in the house
- when we were in Paris city someone was in our rooms. I don't know why, but luckily nothing was stolen
=> you have NO kitchen or stuff like that
=> we recommend the Paris Visit Ticket (Zone 1-2, 5 days, 40 Euro, the whole day for metro, RER, bus and the tramp and you have a lot of specials including)
=> the sockets have a pin, you might can't use every plug
=> the room is on the ground-floor
We had a nice trip!
The room had no AC and was too noisy to leave the windows open...couldn't sleep well....the bedding was not clean and had many stains....I wouldn't recommend it...
We stayed 3 nights at Michele's beautiful room. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Just a 2 minute walk to the Metrostation "Picpus" and a 5 minute walk to the big Metro station "Nation". Many supermarkets and nice little shops right around the corner. Michele is very nice and I can really recommend this room!
Michele is nice and response fast even thou our flight has been delayed and therefore arrived at around 12a.m.

The awards dinner is open for press coverage. Accreditation requests are accepted until noon on November 25.


text: I have a 2009 Silverado with 26k miles. When I pull up to a stop and sit for awhile I get a clunk sound and it feels as if someone has hit me from behind. I'm guessing it is coming from the transmission--maybe the torque converter down shifting?? Does anyone else have this problem, if so-what did you do to correct it?? Sometimes it happens right away and sometimes it happens a few minutes after sitting for a red light. Any help out there?? Thanks!

Are the russians taking over all the disciplines lol
My first thought exactly! Russia is the new Japan?
With the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, could anyone wonder why the level of motivation would be so high. Top juniors from this season set themselves up well for the next cycle. For now it is push/shove to see who can get to the front of the line, at least for now, and the level of hunger has to be at a relative all time high. Never a Winter Olympics in Russia before.
Shibutani & Shibutani for the OGM in Sochi/2014!
My bet is on the ID title being a showdown between Shibutani/Shibutani and Ilinykh/Katsalapov...but the lack of CD certainly favors the Shibutanis.
Hard to see anyone but Hanyu, Murakami and Cong/Han winning the other disciplines. I think Shelepen & Miner have a shot if the first two falter...
I'm most excited to see how Angela Maxwell (aka "Hooker Nails" on Aunt Joyce's Ice Cream Stand) does. That girl is so much fun to watch. Murakami is a beauty.
I don't have strong feelings about the rest of the ladies (yet). Anybody here crazy about Kiri Baga? I'd love to hear reasons.
I like her the most out of the American juniors. Great skating skills, good choreography that she interprets very well. Definitely not bland or your typical princessy type. Her SP is excellent.
Shibutanis again have two excellent programs this season. Too bad only on icenetwork, I have not found any of this year on youtube. Somebody please post!! They earned +3 scores for many elements this year, even footwork. Their twizzles do not look like required elements. They look like beautiful moves to music. When seniors see them skate at final they will think they better stay sharp or look out! While I always follow ladies, Shibutanis opened my heart to ice dance.
Ladies I worry and get my heart broken too much (except maybe with Yuna) with jumps. Brings back all the old stress memories ( I hated short program Murakami has been so impressive. Last year I thought so cute!! this year, I can see in her a senior lady. I love the lightness of her jumps. She grew a lot but also matured a lot. And soo exciting for Baga. Fresh faced surprise. I love it. They did not even give her 2 assignments to begin with! Only a newcomer once. I am sure she will make the most of it. Can't wait for Final.
Maia and Alex are amazing! Can't wait for them to skate senior.
I too wish this season's programs could be on YouTube. Someone please post!!
Binthere I agree there is no question Shibutanis are amazing technicians and very mature performances. Just like Davis/White, Virtue/Moir. Except I don't think D/W and V/M had such good elements and skating when they compete junior. I see picture on Korea skating board of upside down spin lift!?!? There skills look more difficult this new year.
I have seen other junior teams on YouTube and while they are talented, they are not as polished, elegant, skillfull as Shibutani. When I watch Shibutanis I see a story. I get closed into them.
I think Shibutanis are ambassadors of ice dance to Asia (where skating is so so so so popular). They are so great for this sport ice dance and so many people follow ice dance now who might not because there is great Asian/American team coming up!
Most posts her suggests a cake walk for Shibutanis, but i think it could be a rather close contest between the shibutanis and the russians. the score from the contests are considerably close.
Shibutanis 175.95 (USA) 171.99 (CRO)
Ilynikch / Katsalapov 166.06 (HUN) 171.61 (POL)
Monko / Khaliavin 167.65 (BLR) 173.15 (TUR).
I know score from competition to competitions are hard to compare, especially in ice dancing. But, these two Zhulin pairs seems to better tan some of the russian senior pairs (i like both these pairs, they can definitely knock teams like K/N).

Hatteras Museum To Show Message From Titanic
The telegraph message that the Hatteras Weather Bureau Station received from the Titanic is going on public display for the first time at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras.
The message that reads "have struck iceberg" will go on display Saturday, the 100th anniversary of the sinking, and stay up through May 31. More than 1,500 people died on the Titanic.
The National Park Service says the Hatteras station received one of the first telegraph messages from the British passenger liner.
At 11:25 p.m., the message of, "C.Q.D." meaning, "Come Quickly Distressed" was recorded by the station. That was the same time as the Cape Race Marconi Station in Newfoundland, Canada. Details followed with the ship's coordinates and the reason for distress -- "have struck iceberg."

A season for Italy
As you may have seen in the News & Blogs section, we're running a whole season devoted to Italian food culture on JamieOliver.com.
http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-blo … ly-season/
To coincide with this I thought it'd be pretty great if you all got talking about what you love about Italian cooking - discuss your favourite Italian recipes, share memories of great Italian food, even have a go at some of the recipes in our special Italian Jobs section (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/cate … alian-jobs) and let us know how you got on!
This would also be a great time to direct any questions you may have been hanging onto about Italian cooking to Jamie and his Food team.
Thanks all,

Re: A season for Italy
I am well aware that each shape of pasta has a type of sauce that should , please can you get the food team to chat about the different shapes of pasta and the different sauces that are generally served with the pasta
there is a great book caled 'Pasta by Design' by George L. Legendre
that not only explains the geometary of the different shapes but mentions what type of sauce is served with it.
Its a great book and I realy enjoy looking at it.

Re: A season for Italy
Italian food! I do make inept attempts at it at home, but when I think about that question, "what do I love about Italian food", I straight away think of restaurant food.
I live in Glasgow, which is a great place for restaurants of every type, but it seems like every third one is Italian. That's not even counting the old-school Italian cafes, and all the holidays down the Clyde Coast, where the streets are paved with Italian ice cream. The Ritz Cafe in Millport, decorated with posters of Lucca and clippings proclaiming "The Best Ice Cream in Scotland" - feather-light, milky ice cream of the type foodie fashion demands we call "gelato", as if that meant anything other than "ice cream". Even Nardini's in Largs has a "gelato" sign now, and they've been using the same recipe since Noah was a boy. The Ritz is still there, with its formica tables and Luccan family, unchanged from the 1950s. I don't know how much longer we'll have it.
And then later, romantic meals in wonderful places like the Ristorante Caprese, an unassuming downstairs place, walls covered in family photos and posters of Capri, serving Italian dishes I'd never seen before, startling in their gorgeousness. The chef would come out and banter with the regulars - one time he came out with a paper bag and started showing off a porcini the size of a small stool. And they weren't famous. This was just another Glasgow Italian restaurant, unnoticed by most, loved by a few. Wonderful.
So I have the most wonderful memories of Italian food. Gorgeous meals; rich, melting lasagnes, the smell of tomatoes and garlic, the feathery ice cream, and the waiters, mostly Glasgow Italians, with their daft banter and their exaggerated accents which they slip in and out of as it suits them. I've been to Italy twice - what a privilege - but for me, my best memories of Italian food are as a taste of home.

Re: A season for Italy
Hippytea. What a beautifully written 'piece'. A start of a novel perhaps? Thoroughly enjoyed reading that. Thank you.
I've been to Italy once (Lakes) and I loved it, including the grub. However, my best memory of Italian food was found in Paignton, English Riviera. A wonderful restaurant (sadly no longer in existance) where I had my first Tornados Rossini. Absolutely fabulous.

Re: A season for Italy
The term "Italian food" disturbs me, somewhat. It's regional, surely, as is most cooking.
Sorry if I'm nit-picking (again).

Re: A season for Italy
I agree Maree. Here in the states Italian food is pizza, lasagna, meatballs and thick red sauce. Italian-american cooking is very different than real Italian food. Here in NY they call marinara "gravy" which is a little disturbing. And they make "Sunday sauce" which is a meaty marinara with meatballs, sausage and pork spare ribs in it. If a dish is not swimming in gravy it ain't italian.
Eating food in Italy is really different. It's very simple no-fuss food. Each ingredient shines. And not every dish is slathered in red sauce! Sometimes there's no red sauce in sight!
Boy do I hate Italians though! It freaks me out that they get to eat so much pasta and stay so fashionably skinny! How do they do it? I get fat just by looking at a carb!

Two of my strong hives have been pulling out capped pupae and dumping them at the front of the hive. The hives are very strong with a zillion bees, although they are invested with mites.
The pupae are still alive when I find them and I don't see any mites on them.
Other than the mites found on the sticky boards the hives seem very healthy.
Does anyone know why they are doing this?
