The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
Annie's Fund: Insurance for the Future
For the past few months, HAWS has been raising money for Annie's Fund, the medical assistance program for homeless pets. Along the way we've shared stories of dogs, cats, rabbits – animals that look to HAWS for help.
Our goal for the Annie's Fund campaign this spring has been to raise $10,000. With those funds readily available, we can jump in without hesitation to help the animals that come to HAWS needing special medical care.
We are so fortunate that our community has always been responsive to our pleas for help. Whenever we've needed help, YOU have generously stepped forward with your support. It makes us proud and confident that we can continue to serve the needs of the pets and people of the Waukesha County area.
So why do a fundraiser when there isn't a particular, specific need?
It never fails…we think we're in a "quiet" stretch and then WHAMMO! Emergency! Last spring we had both a cat hoarding situation and dog rescue – within weeks of each other. Emergencies happen when you least expect them…or can least afford to deal with them. While insurance covers disasters and accidents, there's no insurance for the types of animal care situations we face at HAWS. So Annie's Fund works like insurance for HAWS; ready when we need it, available so we can take action immediately.
We're not quite to our $10,000 goal – we've raised $7,000 and still need $3,000. In the last few weeks of our official fundraising campaign, we're asking for that final push to get us over the top. So we can help the animals get over their pain – and get going with their happy lives.
Please give today!
By the way – we're getting ever closer to our 31st Annual Pet Walk! Join us at Sussex Village Park on May 3rd…and join in the fundraising online right now!

Hmmm, thats odd - big differences between V2 and V3?
Are there huge differences in the 2? Looks like there is much more on Logging, and the Google Hacks section looks to be more in detail.
Anyone have any feedback on V3 vs V2?

Our Focus
Be involved
Apologetics is an essential part of evangelism. It's important to equip yourself and your church with clear and straightforward answers to the questions that keep people from Christ.
Apologetics can take many forms, including:
The purpose of apologetics isn't to win an intellectual argument, but to give non-believers good reasons to embrace the Christian faith. It's ultimately about persuading people to apply the truth of the gospel to their own lives.
As part of this, you should also consider the life experience of the nonbeliever, the proper tone to adopt, and other matters that go beyond simply imparting information.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said.

That's an amazing statement."

You can't really blame Elvis for not attempting more of what is widely considered "artistic". He is not built for that at all and looked borderline ridiculous attempting it most of the time. I was always a fan and enjoyed his athletic prowess when it came to jumps especially, but I realize he was very limited because of his build and overall look. Lets be honest, he wasn't getting any "beauty points" and his only course of action was to actually out jump his competitors and do something different
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn-qErnY87Q Don't you think that the choreography at the beginning of the progarm looks exactly like Chan's Aranjuez?
I do have a soft spot for Stojko. If he can't be described as graceful, one can say that he moved with authority and smoothness. He had a similar problem to Midori Ito, and it probably was both his weakness and his strength, as it was with Ito. He is rather compact, with muscular short limbs and a stocky torso. Skaters with more core flexibility and the ability to create a long limb line might look more obviously artistic. Both he and Ito could generate a tremendous amount of force when they jumped, though, and since their extended limbs were closer to the core, they turned quickly and efficiently in the air.
Elvis had the misfortune to skate against two guys that looked like skate-god Romeos: Alexei Urmanov and Ilia Kulik.Maybe this is part of what counted against him. I still think Stojko came out well against them. Much as I love Kulik, I think that if Elvis had been healthy, he would have given Kulik a run for his money in 1998. I would not have been disappointed.

Tom Riley described his role as Leonard Da Vinci in Starz upcoming Da Vinci's Demons as a cross between Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes. David Goyer, the show's executive producer, added one other name to the list: Tony Stark.
Goyer, Riley, and two other stars of the show, Laura Haddock and Lara Pulver, spoke about Da Vinci's Demons at a press roundtable last month at New York Comic Con. The show is scheduled to air in the spring of 2013 and is currently shooting at an abandoned auto factory in Wales. I knew nothing about the show going into the roundtable but was hopeful.
Starz hooked me with their original series, Spartacus, and indications from the roundtable and the trailers are good this new show will be as involving, though in an entirely different way. Continue Reading "David Goyer Brings Da Vinci's Demons, a "Historical Fantasy," to Starz" »

One possible cause is that you have requested a high number of mesh points. The number of mesh points relate directly to the memory required to execute a simulation. Requesting more memory than is physically available causes the application to swap memory to disk degrading performance. The memory of a typical nanoHUB computer used for simulations is capable of holding approximately 55000 node points. This corresponds to a 235x235 grid.
Why does my simulation take so long to run?

Wayne Law students raise more than $1,000 for Adopt-A-Child Program
PHOTO RELEASE (Nov. 22, 2010) – A number of Wayne State University Law School student organizations, under the leadership of the 313 Project and with the support of the Wayne Law Alumni Association, raised more than $1,000 to provide gifts of warm clothing to 20 Detroit-area children for the holiday season through the North End Youth Improvement Council's Adopt-A-Child Program.
Participating Wayne Law student organizations included the Black Law Students Association, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Hispanic Law Students Association, National Lawyers Guild, American Civil Liberties Union, Health Law Association, Outlaws and Amnesty International.
"The 313 Project would like to thank the Wayne Law community for the impressive support in the Adopt-a-Child Program," said Natalia Vieira Santanna, an event organizer. "Last year, we were able to help seven children. This year, we will be able to reach out to 20 children thanks to the generous support and donations of our students, student organizations, faculty, staff, and alumni. On Dec. 3, each child will receive at least one winter coat, gloves, one special occasion outfit, one casual outfit and one age appropriate toy. These may be the only gifts these children will receive this holiday season. The Wayne Law community should be very proud of making such a positive impact in the lives of needy Detroit families."

HelloWallet, an independent, online financial guidance service for employees has pushed through a major update to HelloWallet for iPhone v2, an iPhone application for mobile payment transactions. With this new app version, HelloWallet is all set to make the first time user experience even better, and give a mobile experience that has all the power and functionality of this application.
HelloWallet for iPhone v2 lets users make their day-to-day financial decisions on the go, link bank and credit card accounts directly from the iPhone, set up additional budget categories, manually add spending transactions, and get ahead by tracking transactions while they're still pending with the bank.
Some other developments in the mobile payments industry that are worth noting include Clairmail's release of Clairmail Plus, an offering specifically designed to help mid-tier regional banks, community banks and credit unions seamlessly deploy Clairmail's mobile banking and payments solution for their customers and members. With this release the company is bringing its mobile platform to traditionally underserved midmarket banks and credit unions, offering an end user experience at lower price point.
"We've seen immense demand in the midmarket for a mobile solution that keeps costs and IT investment down while delivering real value to consumers and banks alike," said Pete Daffern, CEO of Clairmail.
"Clairmail Plus accomplishes both of these goals, leveraging Clairmail's proven track record of innovation and success at some of the world's biggest banks to bring a one of a kind solution to what's traditionally been an underserved market in mobile. By introducing several new features like optimized integration services that significantly reduces the upfront investment, resources and time normally associated with a mobile implementation while minimizing the burden on the organization's technology team, I believe Clairmail Plus is a significant step forward in making mobile banking and payments technologies more accessible and affordable for financial institutions of all sizes."
There's also a new mobile payment SDKS Card processing application from Total-Apps that will be used on smartphones or other mobile devices to accept credit card payments.
"With access to this new mobile credit apps, merchants with card terminals can now process payments at the same speed, or even quicker than standard credit card terminals," said the company's spokesperson who made the announcement today.
As the mobile payments space is one of lucrative segments, lots of companies are trying their best to tap the opportunities, from large to small. One of them is PaymentOne, has recently re-branded itself as PayOne. Along with the name change they launched a new look, new websites and a new simplified One-Click mobile payments platform. They compete with initiatives from larger companies like Google Wallet, PayPal and Square, all of which have ramped up efforts around mobile account management in particular these past few weeks.

If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

I heard that sometimes (often?) compilers put the data to code section
and vice versa (code to data section) though it is generally not good
and 'can even degrade performance' - but why they do that was not explained
does maybe someone know something about that?

OK great. I will look into SUR and your code.
Given this clearer specification, my advisor knows how to do this
mathematically about 50 different ways, from ML, stacking and controlling
for the inherent heteroscedasticity, and F-test from separate estimations
as David was suggesting, etc. I'll mention S.U.R. too. I think it makes
sense now to pin down an econometric method and then loop back to ask about
Stata implementation.

Auditions set Dec. 17, 18 for 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'
The next Pequot Lakes Community Theater production will be "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
The show will be the Joseph Robinette dramatization of the C.S. Lewis classic. Set in the land of Narnia, this play faithfully re-creates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggles with the White Witch and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia.
The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this exciting dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the evil wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan's resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowning of the four new rulers of Narnia and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur and the other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Tumnus the Faun.
This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.
Kate Davis, director for the show, and Ben Gordon, assistant director, invite interested children and adults to audition either Monday, Dec. 17, or Tuesday, Dec. 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the Pequot Lakes High School auditorium.
Prepare a short poem or monologue for the audition and bring the dates of any known conflicts for January through March. Rehearsals will be mostly Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings starting in early January.
Six performances are scheduled for March 15-17 and March 22-24. Those cast must be at the performances.
For more information, contact Davis at email@example.com or 218-838-3988.
For more information on the production, call Pequot Lakes Community Education at 218-568-9200.

What trivialities are currently annoying you?
Hate to be negative but it is almost 5am.I had appointments all day in one of Sydney's "sattelite" China Towns.
Asked "kids",as usual, if they wanted me to grab them something for dinner- "No. Have plans."
So bought some yum cha/dim sum from a little family place that makes its own on the premises and supplies the more expensive restaurants over Sydney. That's one weekend meal with some vegs etc dealt with.So far so good
BTW, can "eat in" on laminex tables- don't expect plates.Dim sum served in kids' sandwich bags. Cutlery is a toothpick.Napkins are a Kleenex. Have never seen another Westerner in there- good sign IMHO.
Also bought a 12 pack of prawn "gow gee" / prawn Har Gau- (three each for snacks).
Kids arrived back fed and well past dinner time.
Trying as best as I can with my bunged right shoulder and elbow (almost 5 months now) to make a dint in the Valentine's Day orders (yes, I,know, but if they don't buy from me, the customers will buy from somone else)- rolling dough is very difficult.
Was waiting for 5 minutes to complete final stage. Peckish- no dinner, of course.
Went to the fridge. The d**n things had all been eaten- all 12!.
If it wasn't now past 5am, would turn into the "mother from hell".
Oops, sorry. Rant over. How b****y annoying. Ahhh, that feels better Made Vegemite toast (cliched, yes).
Anything got you going today/night?

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
G*d, I'd be freakin" mad, too, Maree.
And yes, I have a similar tale but don't feel as though its at all trivial. This guy I've been putting up with, the one who I would throw out but for my sense of compassion and the fact I don't have $220 for the fees, has stolen all my acrylic paint, the stuff that costs an arm and a leg and what I need to begin a new project with. Why is his life so much more important than mine?

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
Oh Maree, I am so sorry to hear your arm is still not back to full function!
How annoying when someone eats your dinner! My OH is specialist at that too.
I am annoyed by my own health. Had a cold last week. It was getting better Saturday until I started having a bad stomach bug. After a horrible weekend (had to see emergency doctor on Sunday) I can slowly eat again, but my throat is killing me again and I feel rather weak.
Why on earth did I have to catch both bugs that are going around at the same time..... Am missing over a week of school too.
OK,so this was my rant...
And that the post didn't bring the books I ordered today. They were supposedly shipped and due today, but didn't come. They probably get here when I am back to health and have no time to read

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
Too many things are bothering me at the moment, was thinking earlier that i'd make up a list and class them in "imperatifs" on the ordi, but i don't know where to start.
Funny that you should start a thread Maree.
Only hope that your troubles are little ones.
If i get started now, i'll only get all daft and start versing the tears and i only do that in privat.
As i said i won't start as i don't know where to.
"I'll be back" and probably no wiser. But as i often say "from day to day everything will work out alright".
Let's just hope that you and others will get things sorted out.
and be happy.

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
I hate ironing.
When ever I do ironing my OH takes a picture and sends it to my mum.
So sunday night I get in the mood...... to iron.
I get through 2 shirts of a pile of about 30 and the ironing board collapses on me, the bottom had gone all rusty.
I was so B****Y annoyed how can the flipping thing go rusty if I never use it????
Now I have to buy another one!!!

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
WD, what can I say other than I hope it gets better?
Susanne, what a bummer.Get better soon. Murphy's law will ensure your books arrive at the wrong time (sigh). Yeah who could believe that it's almost 5 months since I wrecked my right arm?
Kye, I'm a Libran and "barking mad. Am also 1/4 French.
Being a Libran, am "into lists". Can't go to bed without my "to do" list for the next day- even the most trivial item goes on it and then I prioritise using different coloured highlighters or "numbering" them in order of priority.
Crazy as it sounds, and as I am, I find that writing down even the most mundane thing and then being able to "cross it off" as I go through my day gives me a bizzare (false) sense of achievement and improves my mood/outlook.
Best wishes to all of you and, as Kye said, "be happy"
If all I can whinge about today is my "looked forwarded to 5am snack", in perspective, it's nothing.
At the same time, those two will get an "ear bashing" when they awaken

Kye, sorry to hear that there are things on your mind that are enough for you to have to hold back and not call them trivial anymore! I hope things will sort themselves out. Keep your head up! (
Deb , maybe it rusts because you do NOT use it...? I am not the most avid ironer either and mine is rusting too. Though more at the top and probably because I have a steam iron, but....
I hope you did not hurt yourself with the falling board or the hot iron?

Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
Hi Maree
Great question, having read about your arm and missing dinner. I feel quilty to whinge about having had no hot water since last Friday. Took the pump into a repair shop and their rammed with work so another 4 days to survive. Least the heating works, I can still use my dishwasher and washing machine. So bearing in mind what happened with the bush fires and having watched the news were a hospital here is burning down and got no where to put there patients. I gonna look at it as extremely trivial to have no hot water and laugh it off
#10 Wed 11 Feb 09 8:18pm
Re: What trivialities are currently annoying you?
Kye, come back, please. Just saw your post on email alerts as I was shutting down at 6.10am to go to bed.
My lists:
I really must do today;
I need to do;
I want to do;
It would nice if I could do.
Sorry that your issues don't fall into the "trivial" bag.Not to belittle your problems at all, I think that many of us have "bigger" issues that we are not able/prepared to discuss here.
Dealing with the trivials is
easier and gives us (relatively) "instant gratification", allowing us to gloss over/ forget the "real" issues, temprarily. I am guilty of that.
Deb, have become a master of pegging clothes out so that almost none require ironing. I used to have 20 shirts/week to iron. There are short-cuts for us who are ironophobic.Ask me!

A comment from FMR regular Al Tanski, and a suggestion a little while back for a (title pending) discussion from fellow blogger Ian the Cool brought me to today's "Tossin' it out There" question.
Do YOU collect movies?
All of us here are movie fans to one degree or another. For some of us that means massive collections of DVDs and Blu Rays, but others are content to go to the theatre, rent and watch on cable.
Even if you DO collect, some people (like Al) take pride in the purity of their collection, only buying films that meet a quality standard, or hold a personal place for them. While others (like me) treat their collection like a junk repository, just putting any old disc they can get their hands on in there until they have an unwieldy wall (no, that pic is NOT my collection).
So how about you? Do YOU collect movies? Are you still buying DVDs, or have you gone Blu Ray? How do you organize them? Do you have any kind of criteria before adding a movie, or is it just spur of the moment?
Let's hear it!!

What's a Shower Smoothie?
Shower Smoothies are a creamy, whipped up body wash with decadent ingredients. They are much richer than shower gels, as they include cleansing clays and moisturizing butters, along with fruits, vegetables, flower petals and toning essential oils. Smoothies are wonderful on sensitive skin, as they are both mild and extraordinarily moisturizing. They are also convenient when you're in a rush, as the butters moisturize and soften your skin while you wash, so there is no need for lotion. One thing we know for sure is that Shower Smoothies make for indulgent, luxurious showers. Rub the soft, creamy soap all over and you won't want to stop and wash it off! Use them like a shower gel; put a scoop into your loofah and lather up, or simply rub the creamy soap directly onto your skin, then rinse.

Cybersecurity Contests Go National
It has all the makings of a B-movie plot: A corporate network targeted by hackers and a half dozen high-school students as the company's only defense.
Yet, teams of students from ten different Iowa high schools faced exactly that scenario during a single night in late May in the High School Cyber Defense Competition. The contest tasked the teenagers with building a network in the three weeks leading up to the competition with only their teachers, and mentoring volunteers from local technology firms, as their guides.
On Friday night, May 19, and into Saturday morning, the students defended the network against a team of Iowa State University students acting as the attackers.
"As the hackers came in, you could see (the students') reactions: They were frustrated when they saw the attackers breach their systems and excited when they stopped the attack," said John Carr, a mentor for the team fielded by Valley High School of West Des Moines and senior solutions consultant with Iowa-based technology consulting firm QCI.
The contest between high schools followed the first national Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) that took place earlier this year at the University of Texas at San Antonio, pitting four regional college champions and an all-star team from five U.S. military academies against each other.
The two tournaments mark a turning point for cybersecurity competitions from the mostly amateur affairs of the past to exercises throwing student, government and corporate competitors into the arena against each other. The competitions give students and professionals the opportunity to get hands-on experience responding to attacks, without serious consequences.

By DENISE HARTSE Star Staff Writer
Christmas is a time of giving ... of giving gifts, of giving happiness and of giving assistance to others.
Many adults take time of do volunteer work during this time of year, but volunteerism is not just for grown-ups. Children and teenagers can volunteer to help others also, and not just at Christmas, but all year long.
There are still a lot of events planned before Christmas in which children, teens and their families can participate that are fun and also can help others.
Following are nine activities in which young people, from toddlers to teens, can get involved that will help others while they too have fun, during the holiday season and even throughout the year:
— 9th Annual Breakfast With Santa — Children and their families may participate in this fun activity that helps raise funds for the Miles City Public Library and its numerous projects. Have Breakfast With Santa on Saturday, Dec. 21, from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at the Eagles Lodge.
The menu includes pancakes, eggs, sausage and a choice of coffee, juice or hot cocoa. Tickets are available at the door. This is an annual fundraiser sponsored by the Friends of the Miles City Public LIbrary that provides a chance to have breakfast and get photos taken of you with Santa before he leaves on his annual Christmas trip.
— The Miles City Soup Kitchen — Volunteers are needed to do various jobs at the Soup Kitchen on a daily basis. The soup kitchen is open weekdays, Mondays through Fridays, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is located in the Veterans Affairs Eastern Montana Health Care System Facility at 210 S. Winchester Ave. (use the front entrance by the United States flag). For more information about the soup kitchen call 234-5013. Anyone wishing to volunteer items or services may call 951-3977, 853-6720, 853-2026 or 234-9302.
— Custer County Food Bank — Volunteers of all ages can help collect nonperishable food and funds for the Custer County Food Bank.

She is collecting 10-1/2-inch square unfinished quilt blocks (10-inch finished size) of 100 percent cotton in patriotic colors of red, white and blue to sew into a sampler quilt to be given to the local unit of the Montana National Guard. Blocks may be sent or delivered to Tribby at 703 Cale Ave., Miles City, MT 59301 or may be dropped off at the Miles City Star before Friday, Dec. 27. The goal of the Quilts of Valor project is to cover all returning service men and women who served in war with quits. These quilts are reminders of America's appreciation and gratitude for their service to our nation and its citizens. For information about the Quilts of Valor project visit the Web site at: wwwQOVF.org.

It would be very helpful if there was an easy way to visually see how long a poster has been a beekeeper. Maybe the old very experienced beekeepers names could be a different color, or have a certain symbol next to their name.

9th year beekeeper, about 20 hives.
Can't they just put it in their profile? If you read the forums long enough they usually tell you in their post.

The only "class" distinction I've resolved to have on the forum is that of moderator. I'd be happy to do away with that label, but allow it so there is not confusion when a member who's a moderator has to dialog with another member about an issue. If you want to know how many years a member has been keeping bees, look in their profile. Everyone has the option to list that info.
Regards, Barry
Many users do not include a profile. So if you get a suggestion from them, you have no idea how much merit to give it. Is this person a first year beekeeper or a 30 year commercial beekeeper? I just feel it would be helpful for users reading the threads.
9th year beekeeper, about 20 hives.
I don't fill out profile as i don't give out my information. Not concerend with being well known and wouldn't even dream of giving out information no matter what. Shrug. IF i give suggestions, take it or leave it. Its your choice. I respect others privacy and expect the same. Why does it matter if someone has 30 years or 1 year. I've seen some folks iwth 1 year that are very good at what they do.
IF i were i n this for merit badges i would join the boy scouts
The only thing you can go by is the "joined" date. It's possible to have a lot of postings and maybe one hive.
I'll share the following with you:
I'm not sure how many years will pass until I consider myself anything more than a student of beekeeping (as in beginner) but I'd like to offer a little advice to new arrivals to Beesource:
Read carefully and read a lot, and know that the responses to your questions may not be correct. Look at Member Profiles and look through some of the threads that the member has started to get an idea of their background. There are a number of very knowledgeable people here that you could simply follow any advice they may offer. And there are sometimes a few good answers for a question...
On the other hand, if you see a member's posting "My Bees Arrived" that is six months old, you may not want to follow their queen rearing advice!
But, before asking a question, do a little research of your own. The search function on the "Beekeeping Home" http://www.beesource.com/ will often return results that you won't get within the forum itself. A big advantage is that three character searches can be performed such as "CCD".
The number of postings a member has made is not always an indication of their experience, and there are no free gifts awarded to frequent posters. Go to the member list and get a feel for who's who. Knowing a little about the members will help you to get the most out of this forum.
Keyboards have become beekeeping tools and only experience will teach us to know when they're being used properly...
Trying to think inside the box...

UTSA students Nadia Danial (left) and Emily Pohl at California

UTSA student leaders hear first lady at San Francisco conference
By Jennifer Lilly
Assistant Director of Volunteer Services, Inclusion and Community Engagement Center
(July 3, 2009)--Two leaders of the UTSA sponsored student organization VOICES (Volunteer Organization Involving Community Education and Service) attended the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in San Francisco June 22-25 to learn about going green and recruiting members, along with an opening speech by first lady Michelle Obama. Nadia Danial, VOICES president, and Emily Pohl, vice president of programs, attended the conference with organization adviser Jennifer Lilly.
In her speech, Obama unveiled the summer service initiative United We Serve, a call to service by President Obama that encourages community service from now to September 11, 2009. Mrs. Obama said, "The idea is to emphasize for viewers across the country that service is a part of who we are as Americans and to highlight the power of service to make a difference in people's lives."
Othere opening day speakers included Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, California first lady Maria Shriver, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, rock band Bon Jovi and other leaders in volunteerism and service.
Danial and Pohl attended several sessions at the conference and brought back new ideas for VOICES. The leaders plan to incorporate a Sept. 11 service project into the fall calendar, to go green by reducing and eliminating as much paper as possible, to reduce the negative impact of projects on the environment by reducing the use of plastic water bottles and trash generated at programs, and to implement new strategies for recruiting and retaining members.

I just learned that Purvis will no longer produce production queens. They will limit their output to breeder queens only. They will also continue their educational efforts.
I bought one Purvis queen last year, and was quite happy with the service and the queen. I have seen many threads where people talk about how much they like their Purvis Goldline queens.
While they will continue selling breeder queens, this will be quite a loss to the smaller beekeepers who can not afford to buy and breed breeder queens.
Just curious - Anyone know why Purvis, who is apparently a very successful queen breeder, is getting out of the production queen business?

Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants
Program Office: Rehabilitation Services Administration
CFDA Number: 84.126A
Program Type: Formula Grants
Also Known As: State Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program
Program Description
This program provides grants to states to support a wide range of services designed to help individuals with disabilities prepare for and engage in gainful employment consistent with their strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice. Eligible individuals are those who have a physical or mental impairment that results in a substantial impediment to employment, who can benefit from vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for employment, and who require VR services. Priority must be given to serving individuals with the most significant disabilities if a state is unable to serve all eligible individuals.
Types of Projects
Funds are distributed to states and territories based on a formula that takes into account population and per capita income to cover the cost of direct services and program administration. Grant funds are administered under an approved state plan by VR agencies designated by each state. The state-matching requirement is 21.3 percent; however, the state share is 50 percent for the cost of construction of a facility for community rehabilitation program purposes.

The issue costs an average hotel around £4,000 a year, it estimated, a figure that rises to £15,000 per year for five-star properties. Unsurprisingly, toiletries and towels topped the list of most commonly stolen items. But some travellers have managed to get their hands on more than just a bathrobe... Alamy Back to image

Channing Tatum Named People's 2012 'Sexiest Man Alive' (PHOTOS)
Everyone, take a deep breath: As predicted last week, Channing Tatum has been named People Magazine's 2012 'Sexiest Man Alive.'
We're not saying we're upset with the decision -- Tatum is one fine looking dude (and we dug his abs in 'Magic Mike'). It's just, we were kind of hoping for a Ryan Gosling win -- he was robbed of the title last year (Bradley Cooper claimed the 2011 crown).
Alas, it wasn't to be. Instead, he's among 186 supporting sexy men who will be featured in the November 16 issue of People Magazine. Other divine-to-look-at-dudes who made the list include Denzel Washington, Paul Rudd, Ben Affleck and Damien Lewis.
But it's not just in the magazine where "hot men" are featured. There's a whack load of "sexiest men" content online, including a list of dudes who love their pets (Ryan Reynolds made that round-up) and chests to be thankful for (featuring Prince Harry). There's even a list of tips guys can use to up their "sexy" factor -- with examples from our two Ryans (Gosling and Reynolds).
Check out all of the 'Sexiest Man Alive' content at People.com.
Check out our picks for "Sexiest Man Alive":
Hey girl. Many felt that the 31-year-old was robbed of the title last year -- the same year his critically acclaimed films "Ides of March" and "Drive" were released.
A co-worker of ours may or may not have breathily sighed about the "White Collar" star: "His eyes. They're amazing."
Like it or not, Mayer has become one of Hollywood's most notorious heartthrobs. He's dated Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Minka Kelly, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt all in the past decade. Whew!
He's not that shrimpy kid from "Third Rock from the Sun" anymore. He's a serious action star ("Dark Knight Returns," "Looper") with an even more serious ability to dance shirtless on the set of "Saturday Night Live."
If actor-writer-director-poet-rappers are your kind of thing.
The Olympic swimmer appears to have gotten a lot of "jeah" votes from lady fans in the bleachers.
The "Mad Men" star has been synonymous with "handsome" since the AMC show launched in 2007.
The "True Blood" vampire was voted "Sexiest Man Alive" in Sweden a whopping five times. In a row.
Mega talented, mega fashionable, and mega dating Kim Kardashian, who lives every day like it's a personal "Sexiest Woman Alive" competition.
Justin Timberlake may be married now, but the 31-year-old still has got his "Sexy Back."
Because the 33-year-old has been beautiful for decades. Really.
Sweet to parents, even sweeter to kids: 18-year-old Justin Bieber knows his way to a girl's heart.
Two words: Silver Fox.
The Maroon 5 singer's charisma oozes off the stage.
Brooding and with a reason.
Because he introduced masculinity into the James Bond franchise again. And because the Sam Mendes-directed "Skyfall" is supposed to be the best James Bond film in years.

Which Amazon Kindle Is Right for You?
On Thursday, Amazon took the original Kindle and the Kindle Fire tablet in a new direction, adding a "Paperwhite" version of the original Kindle and an "HD" version of the Fire tablet. You can also still buy versions of the original Kindle and Kindle Fire, which have either been improved or discounted, depending on Amazon's strategy.
If you'd like to stick with a traditional e-reader - none of that fancy Web or video stuff for you, no sir! - the Kindle Paperwhite includes a new, high-contrast display that's enabled by a backlight that rivals the Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. Yes, the original Kindle remains, with an even steeper price cut to make it all the more attractive.
Tablet lovers, however, have certainly heard about the Kindle Fire HD. With a new, high-resolution display (and HD content to go along with it) Amazon is making a pitch at the mobile content consumer, leaning on the Google Play network of content and the Nexus 7. As analysts have noted, Amazon has an ulterior motive for new Kindles and Kindle Fire tablets: to sell Amazon content.
Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos argued this week that Android tablets are floundering because they're gadgets and people don't want gadgets; "they want services." But that doesn't mean that distinguishing between the various Kindle, Kindle Fire, and Kindle Fire HD models is an easy task. There's also that pesky 3G and 4G technology on top of it. Which model is right for you? And how do you tell them apart? We break it down in the slideshow.
Original Kindle
Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi)
Kindle Paperwhite (3G)
Kindle Fire (7-inch)
Kindle Fire HD (7-inch)
Kindle Fire HD (8.9-inch)
Kindle Fire HD (8.9-Inch) 4G LTE Wireless

Which pc firewall or hips to use
I just need your guys opinion about HIPS and pc firewalls. We have some servers (windows 2003 and 2008) that we need to further protect with either or both of above mentioned systems. This is just a recommendation from our IS deptt and we need to give them a reliable demo to see if this actually works. Basically the point is, our servers may (and in most cases will) run vulnerable services but we need to place some sort of pc based security solution that can stop malicious attempts. I know the requirement is bit vague but when i searched the internet, there were few pc based firewalls but i found very little information of any famous HIPS. But since we need to monitor applications behaviour (like http, sql etc) we need some sort of application level monitoring for malicious packets, and the biggest requirement of all, we need to customize or even create or own rules/signatures to prevent from attacks.
Now i know of snort, sorry for my 2 stupid questions
1) can it prevent from attacks also
2) can it be used ideally as HIPS ?
Anyone has any suggestions for any powerful host based security solutions, almost impenetrablea :-)

|Property type
|Property ID
In housing, you will find a bathtub, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, ironing board, books, hair dryer, toaster, DVD player, etc. everything at your service. All the comfort to enjoy an incredible stay in Corsica!
Ajaccio (pronounced Azhaksiä in French, Ayácho in Italian), the largest town in Corsica, lies half-way down the west coast of the island in the Gulf of Ajaccio, surrounded by mountains which have a covering of snow right into summer. The town was founded by the Genoese in 1492, and is the capital of Corsica. Its harbor is second in size only to that of Bastia and it also has an airport. Its situation, beautiful beaches and mild climate (average winter temperature 13.3 C/56 F) attract large numbers of visitors.
Not far to the south of the Town Hall, in Rue St-Charles, is the Maison Bonaparte, in which Napoleon was born on August 15, 1769, the son of a family which originally came from Lombardy and Tuscany. The house contains furniture of the period, weapons, portraits and family documents.
In Ajaccio, opening out from the harbor is the Place du Maréchal-Foch, studded with palms and plane-trees. On the north side of the square is the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall, 1826), which houses the Musée Napoléonien, containing mementos of the Bonaparte family, mainly pictures and a collection of orders and medals.
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde, dedicated to the town of Ajaccio's patroness, known as La Madunuccia, was consecrated in 1593. In the first chapel on the left is a painting by Eugène Delacroix (1796-1863), "Du Sacré Côur".
The center of Ajaccio is the spacious Place de Gaulle, with an equestrian statue of Napoleon and his four brothers (1865 by Viollet le-Duc); there are fine views from the terrace.
Running north from the Place de Gaulle square is Ajaccio's main shopping street, the Cours Napoléon.
In Ajaccio, in Rue Fesch, which runs parallel to the Cours Napoléon on the east, is the Palais Fesch. In the Imperial Chapel is the mausoleum of Napoleon's mother and other members of the family and also that of Cardinal Fesch (1763-1839).
In Rue General Levie lies the Musée A Bandera, a museum which illustrates the eventful and warlike history of Corsica and other Mediterranean islands.
The annual Festival of Notre Dame de la Miséricorde is held in March in Ajaccio. The Festival of St Erasmus is held in June. Napoleon's Bithday is commemorated August 15.
A beautiful coast road runs west from Ajaccio for 2.5km/1.5mi to the Chapelle des Grecs (1632), and then passes a cemetery containing numerous small domed tombs (a type reminiscent of Moslem models) belonging to leading citizens of Ajaccio. At the end of the road is the Punta de la Parata, with the Tour de la Parata, one of the 90 or so Genoese watchtowers scattered round the island. From the tower there are magnificent views, particularly of the four uninhabited islands known as the Iles Sanguinaires.
It is worth taking a trip down the coast road to the south of the town to view the beautiful Gulf of Ajaccio.

Reviews of this property
We were absolutely thrilled and felt very comfortable! Sound of the sea, great location, wonderful balcony with sea view, nice and cozy furnishings, well equipped, very clean, very close to swimming, shopping facilities and bus! No problem without a car. Very good price / performance ratio. Good description, also has good accurate photos. Keys, Directions from host straightforward and friendly. We were very satisfied and would definitely come back. We further recommend the apartment!
Wir waren absolut begeistert und fühlten uns sehr wohl! Meeresrauschen, top Lage, wunderbarer Balkon mit Meersicht, schön und gemütlich eingerichtet, gut ausgestattet, recht sauber, sehr nahe zu Bademöglichkeit, Einkaufsmöglichkeit und Bus! Kein Problem ohne Auto. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Gute Beschreibung, auch gute zutreffende Fotos. Schlüsselübergabe, Wegbeschreibung vom Gastgeber unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder. Wir empfehlen die Wohnung weiter!
Die Wohnung befindet sich im Erdgeschoß eines etwa 20-stöckigen Hochhauses.
Aufgrund der Bilder hatte ich eigentlich ein Haus mit weniger Wohneinheiten erwartet und auch, dass die Wohnung ganz oben ist.
Der Balkon ist trotzdem ganz schön.
Die Wohnung ist modern ausgestattet und sauber gewesen.
Die Wohnung ist etwas laut durch die Wohnung darüber (schlechte Trittschalldämmung) und, da im Erdgeschoss, durch das Kommen und Gehen im Hausflur.
Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und unkompliziert.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Okay, show your age and let's talk about our very own who's left an indelible mark on the NFL.

Not sure if he'll get in. I loved him when he was here. He didn't take crap from anyone. But I lost some love for him after he left. He really pimped himself out. And that is what may be hurting his HOF chances somewhat.
C'mon man, we know you're just looking for material you can use to fap later tonight.
But i'll humor you, he never won without belicheat. He let LT get away with murder, did an ok job with the pats and jets but was mediocre with the cow pokes. He is borderline because of the 2 SB.
I thought that Bill did a good job handling one of the best guys to play the game. Players wanted to play hard for him. thats real art for a head coach. Truth be told, if Al Davis doesn't change Bill's thinking about being HC for another year, after the horrible 1983 season, maybe history would have been totally different. I liked his no BS attitude. He started believing his press clippings as time went on and I think that hurt his capablilties in the game. Overall, I hope he gets in, he deserves it. He took the Jints out of the horrible 70's and ushered them into the elite 80's!
he'll def. get in just not this yr. altho it'd make the most sense bc i believe strahan will be first ballot and make it his first eligible opportunity...i remember reading an article on this subject and the author made a good point, its not a matter of "if" its a matter of "when" with BP...
and he took a franchise that hadnt had success in some time really, and turned it around. I doubt we are at the point we are as a franchise if it werent for BP. he has effects on teams even now with the coaches he's tutored and gone onto success...BB, TC to name two and boy have they been successful...ultimately, he's turned around or set the team up to be turned around for several franchises that the success has continued on...NYG and NE to name two altho the NYJ made it to a AFC CG after he was there, and the Cowboys have enjoyed whatever marginal success they have thanx to a lot of the personnel move BP made.
He's also responsible in large part for the OLB pass rushing specialists we see today. He innovated the game and made quantum leaps in how defenses aligned and attacked. He also helped pave the way for the necessity of having an athletic OT to combat the OLB pressures...football isnt where it is today w/o BP and for me, that shoulda made him a first ballot...but the voters are a lot of the people BP pissed off with his brash no nonsense attitudes he took with reporters (who makeup the voters)...so he'll get in hopefully with Strahan bc it'd be a great thing for the NYG
I have mixed feelings on Parcells.
I think he will get in and I do appreciate what he accomplished and how he was as the Giants HC
But I'm not happy with how he screwed the fans in the end and belittled himself and tarnished his legacy with his actions after he left.
Strahan will definitely get in.
He's kissed more than enough ***
No offense Rosey, but I believe you meant "indelible". Although he is the Big Tuna.

Citroen's DS5 might not be the hottest, priciest or most eye-catching car I drove in 2012, but it's the most interesting, at least in this diesel-hybrid format.
The diesel engine powers the front wheels and an electric motor turns the rears.
Power is 120kW at 3850rpm with 300Nm at 1750rpm working through a six-speed automated manual with stop-start.
At under 60km/h, you can select electric-only for silent and emission-free running; choose sport to fire the electric and diesel motors in tandem for maximum punch under brisk acceleration; or in slippery going use the 4WD mode to keep both powertrains working for better grip.
All that clever engineering is tucked into a body sitting atop a Peugeot 3008 platform, imparting a more compact footprint than the standard C5.
Most DS5 variants get a torsion beam rear suspension and MacPherson strut up front, but this hybrid uses a multi-link rear better suited to the interesting set-up.
The DS3, DS4 and DS5 cars are top-spec variants with an upmarket feel, in this case with the bonus of a thoroughly practical body that seems part sports wagon, part hatch, with coupe overtones and a dynamic look that belies the assumptions many will make on hearing the phrase "diesel hybrid".
My drive didn't allow the sort of back-road shenanigans a test might usually employ, but first impressions suggest it's not designed for spirited high-speed antics, and although the suspension ably absorbs bigger road bumps, it does transmit minor jiggles to the cabin.
The diesel proved refined enough while cruising, though the auto's reaction was slower at times than I'd like.
For vigorous driving, you'll revert to manual, salving reservations about top-speed power figures with the car's frugal delivery (our average close to the 4.1l/100km claim) and the hybrid's low-revs pull around town.
My drive involved a lot of stop-start semi-urban running and it's here the car excels, powered on electricity alone where appropriate and meantime fielding a stylish cabin with a whiff of cockpit about it, underlined by the sunroofs - three of them, with independent electric sunblinds so rear passengers can choose their own configuration.
All the controls and the materials that clad the interior have been chosen to impress, from the pop-up head-up display that changes colour when driving in electric mode to the massaging seat, lane departure warning and the auto headlights, the lit and chilled glovebox, roof-mounted sunglasses holders and cornering lights.
In New Zealand, the 1.6-litre DS5 is on sale for $59,990 but the diesel-hybrid has yet to be confirmed. It would be pricey but could still find buyers attracted by its special looks plus the eco and techno cachet this drivetrain imparts.
