Re: Welcome Back Program problem
Ok, so Vigilad's solution from earlier in the thread appears to work. Instead of accessing your games through the store (either via the game page or your download list), go to your download list through the XMB (Playstation Network -> Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Download List). The copy available there appears to be valid. I was able to download and install Super Stardust HD that way. Infamous is currently downloading, and the trial icon isn't on the bubble, so it's promising that it will work.
Re: Welcome Back Program problem
I will try the thru the XMB when I get home. But I have the same problem as of 12/19/12. All the Welcome Back Games won't install cause the PS3 thinks they are PSP games. I have Dead Nation, Infamous, Star Dust and some other that I don't remember right now, but yes all of those are Welcome Back Games and I'm experiencing the same problem with all of them.
Re: Store error - Infamous install file thinks it's for PSP / Vita instead of PS3.
Re: Store error - Infamous install file thinks it's for PSP / Vita instead of PS3.
As stated before the XMB path Playstation Network>Account management >transaction management> Download List
option does work but what I am kindof curious about is why even though this works, has it become a requirement to begin with. THis is still happening after several months of it becoming a known issue and re-downloading from the store itself or even from the Download history from within the PS Store results in it showing up as a PSP/vita game. Even more rediculous is that you must completly re download the file via the xmb path and completly delete the one from the store as it is essentially junk data.

Iraqi journalist shot dead in Baghdad
New York, September 9, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns Thursday evening's killing of Iraqi journalist, filmmaker, and playwright Hadi al-Mahdi in Baghdad and calls on Iraqi authorities to immediately take steps to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Al-Mahdi, radio show host and critic of the government, was shot dead in his home on Abu Nawas Street in the Baghdad neighborhood of al-Jidida on Thursday evening, Agence France-Presse reported. The Associated Press reported that a police officer said the journalist had been shot by gunmen using pistols outfitted with silencers. Witnesses at the crime scene told Human Rights Watch that they saw no evidence of a struggle or theft and that the journalist's valuables were left untouched. CPJ is investigating to determine whether the death was work-related.

OSCP - virtual lab
the next days I'm going to subscribe the OSCP training and I've really doubt about the different lab expiration options 30/60/90 days.
I'm planning to focus 3 hours/day for 28 days (working it's my best), is 30 days enough to follow up all exercise?
I know that all depends from the experience and the background... think about a newbie, so I'll sure that you'll define a range that can be seen as the worst scenario :-D I'm CEH/ECSA and firewall admin for three years....
Obviously I would like to spend less money if I can, but I want to be really well prepared for this challenge, so I'm looking for the experience of the certified guy.
thanks, cheers

STABLE NUMBERS The once ever-rising corrections budget has been stabilized, a change helped by the reduction last year of guard overtime expenses by $2.4 million.
PROBATION Ponte has hired 12 assistants to aid probation officers with paperwork and to oversee low-risk probationers. This should enable officers to spend more time helping people on probation "do well," he said — instead of just catching them in violations. Caseloads have been as much as 120 per officer. The goal is to cut the number in half. "We're just starting to see the drop in the caseloads," he said.
Half the inmates in prison are there because of probation violations. Instead of routinely sending violators to prison, Ponte is trying to reduce the number by using "sanctions" such as, for missing an appointment, a geographical restriction on movement.
YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS Under the theory that what works for people under 18 will work for those 18 to 25, Ponte wants to create a Youthful Offender Program at the Mountain View youth center, in Charleston, for the 60 to 80 "most challenging" prisoners in this age group. He's asking the Legislature to authorize it, but said he can implement it without new funding. This program would be on the "cutting edge" nationally.
STAFF RESISTANCE "Change is difficult," Ponte said. He believes he's overcoming staff resistance to his reforms — seen in the unusual defense by a union spokesperson of a management official, Warden Barnhart. But Ponte admitted he needed to have more conversations with prison employees. Still, "I don't see any big revolt." Guards used to get hurt, he noted, during cell extractions. "The staff see it's better for them" with the new ways.
STAFF PAY FREEZE Ponte noted that the state-worker pay freeze makes for "difficult conversations," and "I don't have an answer to that." The governor and Legislature determine the budget.
AND PERSONALLY Ponte said he has the failing of trying "to do too much too quick."
The juvenile offender model
Bartlett "Barry" Stoodley, 68, who retired February 1 as associate commissioner for juvenile services after 42 years at the DOC, credits independent Governor Angus King with pushing for corrections reform, more than a dozen years ago. The scandal-ridden Long Creek youth facility was a major concern.
The quiet-voiced Stoodley was appointed to run the juvenile system in 2000. "You had to be blind and in a hole 20 feet deep" not to think something was wrong with the old system, he said in an interview.
Long Creek's staff, he said, first responded to reform with, "You've taken our tools." Stoodley described how its new chief, Rodney Bouffard, who had run the Augusta Mental Health Institute, "would demonstrate personally" how to implement new ideas. "De-escalation" — talking to unruly young people — was used instead of placing them in the restraint chair.
Long Creek became less violent and returnees fewer. "Leadership is critical," Stoodley said.
Stoodley spread reform to the new youth center at Mountain View. Now, continuing with Bouffard's appointment as the new acting warden of the state prison, Ponte is rolling out this gentler approach to adult prisoners. Stoodley said research shows the "principles of effective intervention" work for both juvenile and adult populations.
Ponte has been "like a sponge" for new ideas, he said.

text: New to the forum and wanted to say hello to everyone, with that out of the way I have a little problem that hopefully someone can help me with I recently purchased a used Road Armor front bumper for my 2003 2500HD but unfortunately it didn't come with the mounting brackets. I have a friend who said he could fabricate a set for me but with the bumper weighing close to 200 pounds it's not the easiest thing in the world to hold the bumper in place while he tries to figure out the measurements. So I figured it might be easier and simpler to reach out and see if anyone has one on their truck of similar body style and wouldn't mine sharing, could you take a picture of it or sketch it out and possible give me the measurement specks on them. Thank you guys in advance for any help.

April 22, 1954 to November 29, 2013
"The angels stood behind her bed guarding her every breath; when her breath began to fade, the angels hovered above her, gently lifting her spirit into the heavenly hands of our loving God."
On Friday, Nov. 29, 2013, our beloved Flo, 59, passed away peacefully with family by her side after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Born and raised in Key West, Fla., the family moved between Texas and Louisiana while her dad was in the service, eventually settling in Key West, where Flo graduated from Key West High School in 1972.
Flo soon pursued her passion for jewelry design, leading her to a 25-year career working with prominent local jeweler Whitfield Jack. There she co-designed and handcrafted nautical-themed jewelry reflecting her love for the ocean.
She married her beloved husband of 18 years, Doug Capas, and they shared a wonderful life together residing in Key West. Flo enjoyed everything outdoors, with many weekends spent on the water, boating, snorkeling and wandering the sand flats beachcombing for seashells. Vacationing in the beautiful mountains of Montana and Wyoming while visiting with her son, Daniel, driving together as a family through the national parks of the great West, is what Flo loved the most. At home, she so adored her kitty-cat, Alex, and loved spending time in her garden with her many plants, orchids and roses. She was also an accomplished artist: Her many paintings are of colorful tropical landscapes and detailed portraits of people.
Flo was a genuine, caring and loving person who was so very devoted to her family. In 2006, she donated a kidney to her nephew Richard, who is enjoying a healthy, happy life today.
Her beautiful smile and infectious laugh will be missed by the many fabulous and wonderful friends she was so fortunate to have in her life. She was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, sister and friend. She was truly a lovely person.
Surviving is her husband, Doug Capas of Key West; her son, Daniel Rosasco of Bozeman, Mont., whom she loved dearly; brothers Frank (Maria) Ratcliff, Dave (Janet) Ratcliff of Key West, Ken (Nancy) Ratcliff of Tampa, Fla.; sister Carol (Vance) Callahan of West Palm Beach, Fla.; and brothers-in-law Brad (Mary) Capas, Jeff (Kathy) Capas and Ray Capas.
Flo is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved very much: Richard, Sophia, Frankie, Kristina and Jack Ratcliff, Shawn Morales, Michaella, Jillian, Mallory and Ryan (Julie) Capas; and great-niece and -nephews Asia, Damian and Ben. She was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Mary Ratcliff, and nephew John T. Davila.
Flo's wishes were for no services, and in lieu of flowers for donations to be sent to the American Cancer Society. But we know she would have wanted to thank everyone who kept her in their thoughts and prayers. The family would like to thank everyone at Lower Keys Medical Center, Key West Health and Rehabilitation Center and Hospice of the Florida Keys for their kind and wonderful care of Flo.
Castillo & Thurston's Key West Mortuary was entrusted with all arrangements.
Our sweet angel now lives amongst us every day, sitting next to us and comforting us. We love and miss you, Floey.

Flood Notice: U-Store-It 3101 Valley Ave, Pleasanton
Original post made by J. Suzukawa, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jan 11, 2008
3101 Valley Ave
Pleasanton, CA 94566
(925) 249-0004
On Friday, January 4, Building A was flooded due to drainage clogged. According to the temporary acting site manager, bark and debris clogged the drain -- causing a flood of the storage units, specifically building 'A'. As of Thursday, January 10, nothing has been done to dry out the facility or officially notify all renters. I have contacted both the corporate "Customer Service" number, as well as stated my complaint/concern to the temporary manager. Again, the company has not indicated that anything will be done to compensate customers, or aid in cleaning or drying out the storage units. If you have items in one of these units, check all items carefully; the moisture/condensation will create mold and other damage to your goods. Additionally, if other units are not properly dried, it could create mildew damage throughout the facility, Please file all complaints with the site manager and let them know this lack of service/notification will not be tolerated.

I thought something looked odd when I opened my unit on Monday of this week, the floor looked like it had been washed and all the dust and dirt had not been swept away, now I know why! Thanks for letting us know, I have unit in the A block, luckily we don't keep much in there, but I am annoyed that we have not been informed of this in anyway as you mention. It'll be an ugly mess to clean when people who do store lots of things there and don't drop by often discover their goods damaged. This can be avoided and minimised if people are informed as they should be. Thanks for letting us know!

I really appreciated the heads-up by the original poster on this flooding. We have a storage space in Building A where we have a number of my mother's boxes and furniture stored, after she moved from an apartment to an assisted living home last year. We had received no notification from the U-Store-It management, so had no idea that units had been flooded. After reading this posting, we went to the storage space on the weekend and found that our space had indeed flooded, and about 25 boxes were drenched on the bottom and falling apart. Fortunately, the furniture had been wrapped and stored off the ground. All 25 boxes had to be thrown away and the salvageable contents dried and shifted to new, dry boxes. Unfortunately, some items were beyond saving. After working for 4 hours on this, we stopped at the office to talk to the manager, not really expecting much sympathy or compensation. The new manager agreed to pay for the cost of the new boxes and gave one month's credit.
I do think that the facility should definitely notify (and should have already) all tenants in the affected units. Any boxes or items left sitting damp will have increased damage the longer they remain, and then, as the first posting states, mildew will spread throughout the adjacent units, even if they were lucky enough to remain dry during the initial flooding.

Movie Review: The Bling Ring

Director Sofia Coppola goes sly, breezy and accessible in The Bling Ring.

Director: Sofia Coppola
Rating: R
Studio: American Zoetrope / FilmNation Entertainment
Stars: Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson
Director Sofia Coppola goes sly, breezy and accessible in The Bling Ring, her deeply superficial movie about a deeply superficial group of bored, privileged, real-life Southern California high schoolers who snaked $3 million in cars, designer threads, cash and accessories by breaking into the lavish homes of their "fashion idols" like Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom and Paris Hilton. During their moron rampage of 2008 and 2009, they blew the money on clothes, drugs and clubbing, and they bragged about it all on Facebook and to their friends.
Twits, every one.
Based on a 2010 Vanity Fair story by Nancy Jo Sales, the movie finds Coppola taking a judgment-free, detached stance on the characters convincingly and winningly played by Emma Watson (manipulative, self-obsessed and vacant) and her airy-fairy New Age mother, played by Leslie Mann, let alone the other principals enacted by less familiar actors, the standouts being Israel Broussard and Katie Chang.
These blank, banal alien beings know nothing and care nothing beyond celebrity gossip, clothes, money, TV shows like The Hills and partying. But are they pod people or slightly more extreme examples of our increasingly dumbed down, celebrity-obsessed, TMZ-addled populace? The movie entertains and looks great but leaves one with the feeling that, just like the alienated kids it follows, there's much less to it than meets the eye.
We don't need judgment or pearl-clutching from Coppola in her examination of The Entitled Generation. But since we've already had a 2011 TV movie about the same kids and the same case, is it too much to expect that Coppola deliver much, much more—including, at least, a point of view?

Well, I guess I've been busy, 'cause I've not written anything here for a while. I should develop a better habit of it.
For now, we're done with the second alpha release for Python 2.1, so that'll give us a little time to catch up in other work, like the stuff our employer really wants us to do. I've been working on a project for Zope called Parsed XML. There are a handful of us working on it, but I'm mostly working on the DOM core. This project is moving along quite rapidly, and I'm a little skeptical of saying that we're anywhere near ready for calling a release `stable.' For some reason, I doubt the choice will be mine! Regardless, it has been interesting working with acquisition for the first time -- it feels pretty fragile, though I think I understand why it's considered desirable in the context of Zope.
The continuation of the development of James Clark's Expat XML parser has been slow. Clark Cooper and myself are working on maintaining Expat and developing it to provide more information via the API so that scripting languages can pick up a lot more (Clark maintains the Perl interface to Expat, and I'm extending the Python binding). We're also building the parser as a dynamically-linked library so that client code doesn't run into problems when multiple components link to the library -- this is a problem that has been noticed in the context of Apache modules, and can easily be found elsewhere as well.
The new Python bindings to Expat will offer much more information to the application builder. I'm using the enhanced bindings in the Parsed XML project and hope to merge it into PyXML and Python after resolving a few more issues.
Python 2.1a2 contains my implementation of weak references, using an approach to invalidation which we think works really well with reference counting. My next task for Python will be to convert the build process for the documentation to use a non-recursive Makefile, similar to what Neil did for the build of the interpreter. It wouldn't take long if I'd just sit down and do it!

April 6, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- Savannah State pitcher Kyle McGowin outdueled the Blazers Saturday afternoon to take game two of the weekend series, 5-1. The rubber match between the Blazers and Tigers will take place on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT at Young Memorial Field.
It was a pitcher's duel early with Savannah State (18-13) holding a slim 2-0 lead through four innings but the Tigers scored once in the fifth and two in the seventh to break the game open.
Tanner Bryant (2-3) suffered the loss for the Blazers, surrendering four runs on three hits with three walks and two strikeouts over 6.1 innings.
McGowin pitched six scoreless innings for the Tigers, allowing four hits, three walks, and striking out five to improve to 8-0 on the season.
"There were a lot of pro scouts here to see (Kyle McGowin) and you could see why. He handled us and we had trouble generating any offense against him, so we tip our caps to him and Savannah State played a very clean game behind him," said UAB head coach Brian Shoop.
UAB (14-16) missed out on a couple opportunities to take an early lead. John Frost was stranded at third after hitting a two out triple to straight away center in the bottom of the first and the Blazers put two on in the second with two outs but couldn't come up with the timely hit to score a run.
Bryant, who hadn't allowed a hit in the first two innings, got into some trouble in the third when a walk, hit by pitch and infield single loaded the bases for Savannah State. After a second hit by pitch scored the Tigers' first run, Savannah State's Joseph McCrary hit a sac fly to left field to put the Blazers in a 2-0 hole.
"Savannah State had eight free runners by walk or hit by pitch which led to pretty much all there runs and that takes you out of options offensively when you are behind," Shoop said.
The Blazers threatened in the bottom of the fourth inning when Harry Clark and Chase Davis hit back-to-back singles to put two on with one out but a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play ended the inning for the Blazers.
In the top of the seventh, McCrary came up with his second RBI of the game and later came around to score on a Parker Nix double to right center to push the UAB deficit to 5-0.
Chase Davis doubled down the left field line to lead off the bottom of the seventh and then advanced to third on a fielding error by the Savannah State left fielder. After Hamby walked, Wes Kent grounded into a double play that scored Davis to account for the Blazers only run on the afternoon.
Eric Ricks earned the save for Savannah State, pitching three innings and allowing one unearned run.
Davis tied a career-high for hits in a game, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. John Frost walked twice and extended his hit streak to 10 games with a triple in the first inning.

Was asked recently if I still painted Fett helmets… it is rare, but yes.:thumbsup
So I decided to take one more project when I was asked to see if I could convert a GMH to an AOSW ESB hero helmet. Most "Fett aficionados" would think that was blasphemy, to take a real casting from a real Pre-production Fett helmet and change it into a completely different version. But the thought was that the GMH IS a real Fett helmet, so "size wise" it is considered spot on.
Those that have the GMH and a MR or a MR FP know that it is significantly smaller than both helmets and narrower. It also has a very significant shape that makes it the PP2 helmet. So I hope to show how it can be converted... and maybe help those better understand the differences between the helmets... probably won't post step by step painting, but more so the finished product.
**So PLEASE post any thoughts/pics on what needs to be the next step once each step is completed… Thanks

A World of Opportunity
Look inside many of the world's most recognizable landmarks, and you will find Victaulic - the world leader in mechanical piping systems. Whether it's joining the piping systems at the Hoover Dam that supplies water to 16 million people in the western United States every day or providing a fast installation solution at the Bird's Nest National Olympic Stadium in Beijing, Victaulic is there.
Since 1919, Victaulic products have been used in many of the world's most prestigious landmarks, global environmental projects, infrastructure development, and mission critical services.
More Than 95 Years of Innovation
The company that invented the grooved mechanical pipe joint, Victaulic has built its name on quality and innovation. Founded in New York City in 1919, the Victaulic mechanical joint – made up of a two-piece metal housing, a silicone gasket, and two nuts and bolts – is the root of all that we do.
This innovative coupling became known as the "Victory Joint". As the company shifted to the commercial piping industry after World War I, the name became Victaulic, which is a combination of "victory" and "hydraulics." From our early beginnings in the mining, oilfield and military applications, to our most recent advances in commercial construction, water systems technology, power, shipbuilding and biodiesel applications, Victaulic continues to provide pipe joining solutions that build upon that early technology of a proven, reliable, flame-free pipe joining method.
Quality and Innovation
Victaulic associates have produced a constant stream of innovations for more than 85 years, including many breakthrough solutions that created pioneering changes in the way piping is installed. It is the legacy of our past and the key to our future.
No other company in our industry invests more in research and development than Victaulic. The reason: nothing has been shown to be more instrumental in keeping us successful. Yet our investment is not just in research or in new product development, it is in developing the keen talents of the people who make the discoveries, and in giving them the technology and opportunities to maximize their contributions.
Victaulic offers challenging career opportunities for all levels of experience in various fields:
- Accounting & Finance
- Marketing
- Project Management
- Customer Relationship Management
- Operations Management
- Engineering
- Information Technology
- Sales
- Human Resources
- Supply Chain

Women's Rugby
"Rugby is, at its best, a blend of strategy, strength, speed and instinct. At its
least, it is glorious and organized mayhem.
The object is to, by carrying, passing, and kicking the ball,
score more points than the other team.
Simple enough..."
-Radcliff Women's Rookie Primer
Women's rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. For SCSU's Women's Rugby Team, teamwork is essential. We welcome all new team members and include all because working as a team enhances our lives. We play selflessly: working for the team, not for ourselves alone, both on and off the field.

Pfriem Terrace
Lofty, rock-lined ledges and verdant terrace gardens afford sweeping views of the Luberon Valley, with its patchwork lavender meadows, golden fields of towering sunflowers and meandering country roads. Ideal for outdoor entertaining, almost all of the village's outdoor spaces, including the Pfriem Terrace, provide ample room for visitors and guests to mingle comfortably. SCAD Lacoste students often use these open areas as impromptu studio spaces, perfect for painting, drawing and dramatic performance. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists frequented Provence, finding inspiration in its light and landscape. To the west of Lacoste lies the vineyard-rich valley of the Rhone, where van Gogh spent his greatest creative years. To the southeast is the countryside around Aix-en-Provence, where Cezanne turned landscape painting into a new vision of reality. Regional commerce and trade also abound in the area. The nearby town of Apt is home to the longest-running market in all of France.

you mean "shot gun joe biden" , "cornrow biden" or "joe-blow biden"?? LOL!
The rats are hiding, but they are still around. And, our freedom is in as much danger as ever. It takes eternal vigilance to protect our Rights when Freedom has so many enemies. Anyhow, Joe Biden says that there will be GUN CONTROL this year! Anti-gunners are just like cockroaches1 They are very difficult to get rid of!
Biden: Economy kept McCain from victory over Obama
you mean "shot gun joe biden" , "cornrow biden" or "joe-blow biden"?? LOL!
When Hell Freezes over will they have gun control,,,but should it happen,, they'll have the second American Revaluation starting the next day!!! Just my opinion
What don't these jack wads get??? The Constitution says no, the Congress says No ,,, the Supreme Court says No,,,to gun control WTF is there problem??????
This is now Bidens focus? That's great he should go to the people and continue to speak out against guns. It seems the more he talks the less credible he makes himself. This might just be a blessing in disguise.

Power breeds contempt. Absolute power breeds absolute contempt. Add to this a fool and his drinks and it can only get worse somehow.
What is it about the American legislative process that these idiots don't understand. The people have spoken, and their representatives have voted this down. END OF STORY!!!! But NO, that's not good enough for the Socialist P.O.S', because they will now come at us in another direction, because "they" know better than us what's best for the country. I don't remember a "Nanny clause" in the foundation that our Founding Fathers laid down for this country. I remember three branches of government to prevent one from being too powerful, with checks and balances for each. I don't remember a Nanny Branch. F*CK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

Thanks for a very informative tutorial on using Elmer's Washable School Glue. Kelela
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for a very informative tutorial on using Elmer's Washable School Glue. Kelela
In one of the last Quilters Newsletter the cover photo had a quilt that had framed blocks in white, etc. They were very narrow. She said that in order to get the quilt like that she used glue too. Oh, on the batting, try using the scraps of fuseable. I took a class where the lady used lots of the stuff and you always end up with lots of scraps. Those scraps would be collected and then sprinkled on the backing and then on the batting. Hope this might help. I think that the glue on the back may be having the same problems as gluing on paper. The moisture causes the fabric to act like paper (both cellulose, and buckle) you might be asking too much of the glue done in that way. If you could try to make it aerosol. Maybe try adding water to a spray bottle and mix the glue with it. Kind of 50/50--or what the aerosol pump can handle.
Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. Mark Twain
Thanks for the good instructions...I haven't gotten up the nerve to try this yet, but may give it a try on my next quilt project. Am in the throes of handquilting a twin coverlet now.....slow going. May have to also try something new and have my project quilted by machine. Some of them look absolutely beautiful.
I am a convert. When I read about using the glue to sandwhich the layers knew that was my method next time I layer a quilt. Using the glue to piece, I thought, not for me. Well I tried it to join the long rows of the blocks, always my least favorite part. Just amazing what it did for my accuracy. Can't honestly say it saved me any time but it sure did wonders for quality.
Bravo!! I will surely try Elmers glue next.
Thanks for sharing your awesome tips!
Mary I used the glue a great deal with children in school.. I used to thin it down to make it go further but also easier to smooth out. Can you do the same when sandwiching a quilt.?
Finished is better than a UFO
For those who use paint brushes, what kind and size do you use? Can't wait to try this as pinning has kept me from quilting many quilts.
This is my first time on the board and I'm glad I chose today. The elmers glue is going to a great tool in sandwiching the quilt. My question is can it also be used on edges of blocks to prevent raveling when piecing squares?

ADBE Up 6%: FYQ1 Beats; CTO Lynch Moving to AAPL
Shares of Adobe Systems (ADBE) are up $2.35, or almost 6%, at $43.10, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' estimates.
Revenue in the three months ended in February fell almost 4%, year over year, to $1.01 billion, yielding EPS of 35 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $985 million and 31 cents.
Chief financial officer Mark Garrett remarked that ""Adoption of Creative Cloud accelerated and we achieved strong Digital Marketing revenue and bookings growth in Q1."
Adobe management will host a conference call with analysts at 5pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the investor relations page.
Update: During remarks to CNBC just after the report, CEO Shantanu Narayen said the company sees Q2 revenue in a range of $975 million to $1.03 billion, and EPS in a range of 29 cents to 35 cents. That is below the consensus for $1.02 billion and 34 cents.
For the full year, the company sees revenue of "about $4.1 billion," and EPS of $1.45. That compares to consensus for $4.1 billion and $1.40.
The stock has managed to hold onto its after-market gains, still up $2.58, over 6%, at $43.33.
Update 2: In an 8-K filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, Adobe said its chief technology officer, Kevin Lynch, has resigned:
On March 18, 2013, Kevin Lynch resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, of Adobe Systems Incorporated, effective March 22, 2013, to pursue other opportunities.
Update 3: CNBC was stating a moment ago that Lynch is going to Apple (AAPL).
Update 4: AllThingsD's John Paczkowski this evening writes that a statement from Adobe confirms the move by Lynch to Apple.

I was cleaning up my garage and I found a frame with some honey stored along the top. (I pulled the framed 3 weeks ago) I did a little damage to the capping and it was leaking honey so I figured I would just put it out for the bees. At first I put it about 20' from the hives and after 3 days no bees. I then put it about 6' from the hives and I notice a lot of activity on the frame. Lots of yellow jackets going in and out of the cells. They were going after the honey. My bees wouldn't go near the frame. I thought they were meat eaters only. I thought it was common practice to leave frames out for the bees to clean up?
Why didn't my bees go for the honey? 6' from the hive they must have known it was there.

think stretched out dominator with single to double concave (i think that's right)
No announcement yet.
Lost Mini Driver
new posts
Finally got my MD and I must say its exactly what i wanted. I have found it works in 2-6ft no worries. i was a bit worried reading other posts it doesn't pick up waves easy...its not a nator.... but I find it picks up waves better then most boards and its on par if not better then my scorcher, if i was going to grab one board to check the surf at the moment the MD would be it (Mind you its new and i have that new board attraction). It is perfect to match the nator as a two board quiver. I wanted a more performance all rounder for the 2-6ft range and this board is perfect. It defidently handles the bigger stuff better then the scorcher or perhaps i just feel i have more confidence on the MD. It has lots of speed its amazingly fast on the take off i am still getting used to how hard i can jam my turns but so far no worries it comes back underfoot super easy it has a nice relaxed feel while cruising down the line but once you push into a turn it comes alive. It seems to go really well in bigger messey surf more so then most other boards. I can't wait to get it into some really solid surf with big walls i think it will go really well. I havn't surfed it as a quad maybe next week. I am really impressed its exactly what Lost said it would be in their blurb about it and i think you can go that bit more volume if you want it as an all rounder and it will still perform or go less if you want a super performance hybrid. Can't wait to see what Lost boards are coming out next.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, email@example.com for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
comes in both fin techs!
Had my MD out over the past couple days in some mixed conditions generally head high to a bit over and the board has been preforming really well. i have found the sweet spot it is a fast board. It can take off extremely late and hook back up onto the face and allow you to line up the wall really well while increasing in speed. Get this board in some solid waves that are throwing and i belive it would set you up nicely. i have surfed it as a quad and feel its better as a thruster but i am not really a quad person. The best thing about this board is you see the lip coming over and you think i am not going to get around this and you do and before you know it your cutting back onto that foam you where just racing.
I really like mine as a quad. I found it flew in well over head walked up Killer point. Held well through the steep, racey inside wall when high-lining to make it as far as possible.
Good all round board. If I was only taking one board some where that'd be it.
Originally posted by seabass View PostTotally agree with prjwebb. I am still missing the sweet spot occassionally..... but hey.......when i find it, it likes to party.........
Only issue I've had is in waves where entry is a little awkward and I'm paddling pretty far up the nose to get into them I can sometimes end up too forward on the board and plowing water. Easy enough to shuffle back though but other than that it's felt real good.

I'm getting the feeling from your posts that this board isn't exactly setting your surfing world on fire.
Is this because you have too much cross over in your quiver? or the MD just isn't quite hitting the right notes for you?

text: Today I went to my hives- it is such a rush! I did a very terse inspection- there was a lot of glueing of the frames... I assume this is normal? I didn't want to disrupt the bees too much, so only took one out. I also noticed a dead queen in front of one of the hives... with several bees pulling on her. I am not sure what/where she is or why she is dead? Any ideas? Also... is it ok to add 2 shallows on top of the 2 deeps (full) at the same time? or do you need to wait until 7-8 frames are full of honey? Adding one at a time... If not, why not? Thanks for your help!

WSU Law School Alumni Selected to Crainĺs 40 Under 40
DETROIT (Sept. 24, 2007) – Wayne State University Law School alumni Ben Smith, 38, and Anne MacIntyre, 39, were recently selected as two of the area's top business leaders in Crain's 2007 40 Under 40 Class.
"On behalf of Wayne State University Law School, I would like to congratulate Mr. Smith and Ms. MacIntyre on being named to Crain's 40 Under 40," said Wayne State University Law School Dean Frank H.

I would like that. I would like to probly get a couple nucs up that way. I drove to Georgia for my two I got this year. PM me a contact and I will put it in for next spring and start with a few queens and probly two nucs. Thanks.

Let bees be bees.
When people ask me what goes in my hive my answer is "wood". That is it. No treatments, no foundation, no plastics. Which also means I save a bunch of money by not buying stuff others swear by and then spend more money on packages and nucs every Spring. I have been treatment free for 5 years and this year went foundationless. Great success this year on all fronts and we had a bumper crop. Letting the bees decide who will be queen and when, what size cell they want, and whether or not they survive is a decision they make on their own. All I do is keep stacking the boxes higher!
As a new beekeeper, who will be starting his first 3 hives this coming Spring, I have to say THANKS. I appreciate this thread, and I am enjoying myself as I read the different ideas/opinions shared here. I hope to be treatment free. I know that I will probably have heartbreaks, losses, and headaches at first, but I am also hopeful that I will be able to contribute to a stronger, healthier, better bee in my area.
Again, thanks for sharing your ideas and opinions.
I have done powder sugar treatments before, but due to time constraints I have not been able to keep a schedule of that, so I have decided to just let nature take its course, which will probably bite me, but hopefully if it works out I will be saving money and time!!

I think we all have the troubles you mentioned some where along the line at sometime. JMHO, but I have found mine to be less and usually explained by my actions, or lack of, than a treatment of some kind that I do not fully understand the total impact on the bees and hive stability. Wish I had come across this forum or someone 7 years ago when I got back into bees that would have/could have shared this alternative.
Good for you and best to you.
kirk, when it comes to the tfb forum, i truly am the square peg trying to fit it. the reason is that i am not committed wholeheartedly to not ever using some of the 'treatments' listed in the special forum rules.
i feel that if i apply good management that the need for treatment should be very rare. of course, developing the skill to apply good management takes time, years perhaps. and even then, there can be changes and new developments arise at any time.
my approach has been to seek information from a variety of sources and glean what i feel is best. i really like the opportunity beekeeping gives me to be creative, in the sense of trying things and see what happens.
rick makes a great point when he says that beekeeping is local. to me, 'local' extends beyond location, and to the individual.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I guess this has gotten away from the Op but it is good discussion. Square peg, I'm not sure what local really is!!! Would my bees do well in Virginia? how far south, how far North, etc etc. Honestly I don't know. Would bees from you do well here? Don't know. Would they do well enough to adapt and do better? Thinking of a way maybe
HLH, can't speak for bamindy, but I'll relate a discussion I had a t the local Bee Club. The discussion was, when to re queen. There were instances where a queen was lost and no way for them to make a new one. (no suitable eggs or larvae) What got me to raise my hand was the blanket "policy" to re queen every two years at least. Not commercial mind you, just back yard beeks like me. I asked why. "For a new fresh Queen for next year." was an answer. I asked why? If the queen is failing, then the beees will supercede her. When they do that you often see a two queen system putting down a lot new bees. For all we know, it is in natures plan for that to happen. I have read Some discussion that queens do their best in their second season. I have one that is in her third What if the "new" queen is not accepted? What if they allow her to start and then supercede her anyway. ( which happened to me a lot There is discussion out there that there are differences in eggs and the bees select the "better ones" for a new queen. LOL, they look alike to me. I'm just no good at grafting. So, I harvest swarm cells if at all possible to raise queens for my nucs.
All JMHO and what I'm happy with
sorry rick. after reading what i posted i can see how that was confusing.
my feeling is that bees that are adapted for my location might not do as well in another, and vice versa.
maybe this holds to a lessor degree when it comes to methodology. i.e. ventilaton, insulation, how many stores for winter, one or two deeps for brood, ect.
yeah, we have gotten away from the op, but that's ok sometimes.

journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
After reading this, it occurs to me it would be a good idea to get my apiary up to a good strong number of hives, perhaps 200, using teatments while learning queen rearing and breeding, then start some of my hives treatment free, willing to sacrifice some to get good strong survivors adapted to my area over several generations. That way I could try out several races of bees and learn different hive/colony management methods, and find out what worked, what did not, and hopefully have some self-sustaining, treatment free bees eventually. To go cold turkey with but few colonies seems as though it could get rather frustrating. Has anyone read Randy Oliver's viewpoint regarding IPM on www.scientificbeekeeping.com ?
I only have 18 hives right now, but I can safely say the bees that do best are the wild ones I have caught and maintained. The domestic ones never seem to make as strong a hive. The only treatments I have ever done are brood breaks, an occasional smoking with Creosote or juniper for mites (on my starter hives), and feeding for Winter. Once they reach full strength, I have just been letting them go and be bees - splitting and manipulating based on need or to keep them from swarming, unless I want them to swarm. I also bust up my old hives into nucs and start over after about two years. I do not like to import bees from outside the region - I try to avoid queens from other regions too.
My bees are mostly dark ferals (AMM'ish traits), open mated Russian-feral hybrids, local raised cordovan italian hybrids, and a few carnie based hives. The more Italianish bees stay in the desert, while the more Russianish and true feral bees stay up in the mountains (these I have the most of). My strongest hives are the dark ferals and the Russian-ish bees. They need no teatment at all. I usually don't feed them either, but you really have to watch them close to keep them from swarming. The other breeds I only have a few hives of, and mostly for genetic diversity. They came from local beekeepers.
Treatment free? I don't know. But what I do is definitely NOT what most people seem to do. I use a lot of horizontal langs too (wind won't blow them down, neither will cows - vandals don't know they are hives). Works for me, but most commercial guys would shudder at the thought.

The same as a normal pimp-slap, where you assault your target by slapping him/her with the back of your hand, except you run your hand down your own butt crack 1st. This marginalizes and denigrates the offender even further.
I was so upset with this loudmouth drunk at a bar, that I had to shut him up; so I dirty pimp-slapped him into submission.

Awesomely awesome: War breaking out among Democrats over ObamaCare
posted at 8:30 pm on July 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
Ed touched on it earlier this afternoon but things seem to have deteriorated further since then. Polite disagreement over the appropriate policy ends? Not so much:
The seven Blue Dogs on the Energy and Commerce Committee stormed out of a Friday meeting with their committee chairman, Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), saying Waxman had been negotiating in bad faith over a number of provisions Blue Dogs demanded be changed in the stalled healthcare bill.
"I've been lied to," Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chairman Charlie Melancon (D-La.) said on Friday. "We have not had legitimate negotiations…
If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, the only hope for passage of the bill in the House will be to go straight to the floor, an option leaders shied away from endorsing but said was an option.
But the Blue Dogs issued dire warnings to leaders contemplating that approach.
"Waxman simply does not have votes in committee and process should not be bypassed to bring the bill straight to floor," Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), the lead Blue Dog negotiator, said on Friday. "We are trying to save this bill and trying to save this party."
Melancon claims there are 40-45 "hard no" votes right now; it's unclear to what extent that number overlaps with the 40 potential no's if the bill ends up with a provision funding abortion. Rather than blather on, though, I'll hand you over to this enjoyable report from FNC about the ongoing meltdown. Pay particular attention to what James Clyburn has to say about the extent of the infighting. What a week.
