As the rush to late-April legislative adjournment begins, much is at stake for people who want to help the needy (or are needy), or value a fair tax system, or treasure Maine's unspoiled woods and shores, or want government to be run openly — in short, for many people who these days are often called progressives.
Engage Maine, a broad coalition of advocates for progressives, rallied April 2 in the Cross State Office Building in Augusta to draw attention to the bills still in play that most threaten their constituents. About 130 people attended.
Below are several of the measures most worrisome to Engage Maine. To determine the likelihood of their passage, the Phoenix consulted assistant Senate minority leader Justin Alfond, the Portland Democrat who is one of the Legislature's most progressive members. As they stand, Alfond opposes them all.
Several of the bills are part of the agenda Republicans brought with them when after the 2010 election they took over the governor's office and both houses of the Legislature.
"STREAMLINING" MAINE'S MINING REGULATIONS, LD 1853 This bill is being pushed by a Democrat, Representative John Martin, of Eagle Lake, the former disgraced House speaker. It would allow a company owned by J.D. Irving — part of the Canadian family-owned Irving empire — to dig an open-pit mine for gold and other minerals on Bald Mountain in Aroostook County. But the bill also loosens mining restrictions elsewhere in the state.
Natural Resources Council of Maine director Lisa Pohlmann spoke at the rally of pollution threats to the coast and to lakes like Moosehead. The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting wrote that Martin is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to Irving interests. The bill "has the legs to pass," Alfond says.
LIMITING AID TO THE VERY POOR: GOVERNOR PAUL LEPAGE'S "SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL" BUDGET, LD 1903 This big bill would cut public and publicly supported services such as the university and community-college systems and the Maine Public Broadcasting Network. But the most contentious item deals with "general assistance."
This is the municipal-run final safety net providing housing, food, and fuel for people in desperate straits. The state provides the majority of the funding. The budget would sharply cut who is eligible and limit housing aid to 90 days a year. The state would reimburse cities and towns at a lower rate. The biggest cities would be hardest hit, with increases expected in homelessness.
For the state to avoid running out of money in some accounts before the end of the fiscal year, June 30, the budget needs passage by a two-thirds majority. This gives Democrats some power. Alfond says "huge negotiations" are going on behind the scenes. He is hopeful action on general assistance will be postponed and a "stakeholders' group" will be assembled to discuss possible future changes.
GRADUALLY LOWERING, AS REVENUE SURPLUSES OCCUR, MAINE'S HIGHEST INCOME-TAX RATE TO 4 PERCENT, LD 849 In 2013 the rates will run, depending on income, from 2 percent to 7.95 percent (dropping from 8.5 percent). If the top rate is cut to 4 percent, Engage Maine says losses to the state treasury would eventually amount to $600 million a year, a "revenue death spiral" requiring enormous service cuts.

Difference between revisions of "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch"
Revision as of 00:30, 4 January 2013
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch [2] is a small town on the Island of Anglesey off the northwest coast of North Wales.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (lan-vire-pool-guin-gith-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooth-clandus-ilio-gogo-goch) is a Welsh word which translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave". The name was coined as a publicity gimmick in the 1860s by concatenating the names of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll ("St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel"), the nearby hamlet of Llantysilio Gogogoch ("the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"), and the chwyrn drobwll ("rapid whirlpool") between them. It was the longest place name in an English-speaking country, but has been challenged by Llanfynydd (which unofficially changed its name to something longer) and a train stop elsewhere in Wales, but neither of these has received official recognition. A hill in New Zealand has the 85-character name (derived from Maori) of Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
Locals refer to the village as Llanfair, or as Llanfair PG (pronounced roughly "Hlan-var Pee Gee") to distinguish it from other places in Wales called "Llanfair(something)". Although typed as 58 characters, it is technically only 50 letters, because in Welsh ll ng and ch are treated as single letters.
The village is divided into two sections. The upper village has mostly older residences and the lower village has newer commercial buildings and the train station.
Get in
By Rail
Llanfair PG is a request stop on the main rail line between Holyhead and Bangor.
By Car
Also reachable via the Menai Suspension Bridge.
Get around
As it is a very small town, it is easily walkable.
Get out
The other villages of Anglesey – Holyhead, Beaumaris, Menai Bridge, Llangefni, Ynys Llanddwyn – offer similar small-town Welsh character and remote seaside landscapes, including both lovely beaches and rugged cliffs.

Metro Detroit businesses respond to polar vortex: Work from home, spend night are options
Snowstorm of January 2014
A whirlpool of frigid, dense air known as a polar vortex descended into Michigan today, pummeling metro Detroit with dangerous cold that shut down universities, forced a delay in the Detroit bankruptcy case and closed restaurants, shops and other businesses across the region.
By midafternoon, the snow had been mostly dealt with: The runways at Detroit Metropolitan Airport had been cleared, and road crews were moving from the main roads to the subdivision streets.
And businesses got creative in coping. Some allowed employees to work from home; others invited workers to spend the night. But still, the fear that the cold would keep potential customers inside caused dozens of small businesses to close.
Meanwhile, local governments were busy taking care of business, with most offices open and the Detroit City Council even holding its first meeting of the year - and electing its new president.
Here's a look at the day as it unfolded across metro Detroit's various industries.
A work-from-home day
Just in case: Employees spend night
Hearing delayed in Detroit bankruptcy case
Winter weather delayed closing arguments in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing on an agreement by Detroit to pay off banks and settle millions of dollars in debt tied to an interest rate swaps deal.
Bankruptcy Court in Detroit was shut today because of the severe weather.
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr testified Friday that the proposal to terminate the deal with UBS and Bank of America for $165 million is best for the city.
The city pledged casino tax revenue in 2009 as collateral to avoid defaulting on pension debt payments. The swaps allowed Detroit to get fixed interest rates on pension bonds with the banks.
Orr and the banks initially reached a $220 million payoff, but bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ordered the city to negotiate a better deal.
Going to the zoo?
The Detroit Zoo's facilities crew has been working around the clock for the past two days to clear the walkways of snow so that animal caretakers can get to their charges.
The staff caring for the animals may have rolled in a little late because of the snow, but were are all at work Monday.
"The care the animals requires has to happen every day whether or not there's good weather or bad weather," said Chief Life Sciences Officer Scott Carter.
Facilities employees are also working to ensure that the zoo's building infrastructure is operating as it should, since it's a critical time to ensure heat, water and other systems are working, Carter said.
Still, many of the animals at the zoo are used to the cold, he said, including polar bears, Asian wild horses, Bactrian camels, wolverines and bison.
They're fun to watch in the snow, Carter said, and as of mid-afternoon, about eight visitors to the zoo, including several from Mexico, could attest to that.
"We have to be here anyway. If the public wants to venture out, we're open."
Besides the zoo team's extreme vigilance to ensure the safety of staff and integrity of infrastructure for the animals, it's just like any other day at the zoo, Carter said.
Surgeries canceled; frostbite treated
Sports fans can stay home
UM open; other schools close campuses
The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is bucking the trend across the state and staying open during the severe winter weather. The school's Flint and Dearborn campuses are closed.
Hundreds of schools across the state canceled today's classes, including the Detroit Public Schools.
Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Oakland University and Wayne State University are among those that canceled classes. Snow and dangerous wind chill temperatures were cited in closing decisions.
By noon today, several school districts across the area had already canceled classes for Tuesday.
What's next? Cold
As the snowfall tapered off, attention turned to the bitter cold.
In the southern Lower Peninsula, temperatures were expected to drop to as low as minus 15 late Monday or early Tuesday. Temperatures this morning were in the teens in Detroit. A reading of 22 degrees below zero was reported in the Upper Peninsula community of Ironwood.
"We do have wind chill warnings in effect through Wednesday," Matt Mosteiko, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's White Lake Township office, said of the ongoing freeze.
Crain's reporters Jay Greene, Bill Shea, Sherri Welch and Bridget Vis, as well as the Associated Press, contributed to this report.

MarketWatch and the Texas Tribune report that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is considering increasing the premiums it pays to Medicaid HMOs. HHSC is requesting a 2.6-percent increase to managed care premiums, a 0.8-percent increase to long-term and acute care service premiums, and a 1.8-percent rise in children's health plan premiums. The premium increases would cost an additional $59.2 million, which includes $23.7 million in state general revenue, for the last three months of fiscal year 2013.
In response, Dr. Speer said that for years, "the HMOs have promised the Texas Legislature and the citizens of Texas that Medicaid managed care would save the state money, provide 'budget certainty,' and better coordinate health care for Medicaid recipients. A number of the HMOs have failed to keep these promises."
Noting that physicians "are forced to leave the Medicaid program in droves," he said it is critical "that any new money be dedicated to improving patient care and the availability of that care. Any new money needs to be used to ensure Medicaid recipients have a medical home and that they can obtain needed care from specialists."
Dr. Speer added that the "physicians of the Texas Medical Association have worked hard to make sure our state leaders understand where and how our Medicaid system is broken." He said the TMA action plan calls for:
"The 2013 Texas Legislature is making significant progress on the paperwork and fraud investigation issues. Requiring Medicaid HMOs to spend any new money on patient care would further our prescription to mend our broken system," Dr. Speer said.

Reviews of this property
During my vacation in Scotland I stayed here for 8 nights. It was my second visit at Juliet and Ian and not my last. Juliet and Ian were very friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed my stay with them and I hope we see us again soon. By the bus are only 15 minutes up to the town. My recommendation is one visit to cramond beach, it is a lovely palce. Greetings to my friend Thistle (dog).
A very pleasant and attentive family to enjoy the city. Very clean room and bathroom.
What I like is to live with a Scottish family being tourists, (when you are a tourist usually do not have that opportunity)
Very nice breakfast in the kitchen watching the garden.
Una familia muy agradable y atentos para que disfrutemos de la ciudad. La habitación y baño muy limpios.
Lo que mas me gusto es poder vivir con una familia escocesa siendo turistas, (cuando eres turista normalmente no tienes esta oportunidad)
Muy agradable el desayuno en la cocina viendo el jardín.
I felt at Juliet and your family well. The room was nicely decorated. The Public Transport sehr gut. Thanks for the fantastic and helpful information. I was for 10 days in Edinburgh. I am happy to be back. Thanks for the nice time.
Ich fühlte mich bei Juliet und Ihrer Familie sehr wohl. Das Zimmer war hübsch eingerichtet. Die Verkehrsanbindung sehr gut. Danke für die fantastischen und hilfreichen Informationen. Ich war für 10 Tage in Edinburgh. Gerne komme ich wieder. Danke für die schöne Zeit.
Juliet´s and Iain´s home was pleasure to stay at, with a very nice and comfortable room, their house very close to an excellent bus route. Juliet and Iain were wonderful hosts, very nice, always ready to help and a pleasure to be around. I would recommend their house to anyone wanting to spend some time in beautiful Edinburgh.
Pleasant room with separate entrance. Juliet and her family were welcoming. Excellent discussions and advice for the rest of my trip.
Plaisante chambre avec entrée séparée. Juliet et sa famille furent accueillants. Excellentes discussions et conseils pour la suite de mon voyage.
I had a great stay with Juliet and the rest of the family. It was the perfect start for my postgraduate degree here as they were very helpful with everything. They received me warmly and the room was just perfect. The bus connection to the city center is fine. I can recommend everybody to stay with this nice family.
The property is exceptionally located in Edinburgh, the bus goes to the city in the immediate neighborhood. Juliet and her family have welcomed us warmly and helped to get tickets to the Military Tattoo. We enjoyed the stay very much.
Die Unterkunft in Edinburgh ist toll gelegen, der Bus zur Innenstadt fährt in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft. Juliet und ihre Familie haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen und geholfen Karten für das Military tattoo zu erhalten. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
I highly recommend Juliet´s house for a stay in Edinburgh! The room was very nice and to have your own bathroom is course great. Juliet was extremly helpful and her family was really nice - so my stay in Edinburgh including a trip to the coast and a trip to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park was great. Hope to get there again!

RIC Alumni Discover New Ways to Volunteer
(Photo shows board member Karen Schnabel '06 discussing the Homecoming committee duties with Ana Cruz '02 and Netesha Reid '04.)
More than two dozen alumni attended the Rhode Island College Alumni Association's recent information session to learn about the many volunteer opportunities available.
"It was a very successful event," said Kate Brezina, executive director of alumni affairs. "It was a great way for our alumni to reconnect and find out ways to get involved with our alumni association."
The information session, held Feb. 5 in the Alumni Lounge at Roberts Hall, was designed to recruit new volunteers and showcase the many opportunities available.
The Rhode Island College Alumni Association hosts a variety of events throughout the region. Last year's events attracted more than 1,500 alumni. Brezina said the association is hoping to increase the number of events – and participation – this coming year.
Volunteers are needed for the Board of Directors, Alumni Communications Committee, Alumni Awards Committee, Book Awards Committee, Alumni Association Golf Tournament Committee, Scholarship Committee, RICochet Committe, Alumni Donor Outreach Committee, Homecoming Committee and Young Alumni Group.
"If you weren't able to make the meeting," Brezina said, "you can schedule a time to meet with our staff to learn about ways to get involved by calling 401-456-8086."

Meatloaf for vegetarians: a coming-of-age story
Original post made by Jacqui Love Marshall, San Ramon, on Apr 13, 2011
We reminisced about the "good ole' days" of his childhood, including the fact that he lived most of his childhood as a vegetarian. As vegetarians, it wasn't easy for our kids to curry favor with their friends. They didn't have the coolest snacks at home and they brought strange bag lunches to school, the kind that don't trade well with others. This conversation included the infamous chickpea meatloaf that I used to make regularly. It is the dish that unequivocally represents our vegetarian years and, to this day, the mention of it evokes chuckles from my kids and my strictly-meat-and-potatoes family members. For my husband and I, the dish was a wonderful alternative to meat, especially when dosed with a little hot sauce to give an extra kick. It could be easily combined with other foods for complete ==I "protein complimentation,"== AKA nirvana for vegetarians. But, to our kids, it was a bland slice of a casserole that bore no resemblance to regular meatloaf; it resembled all your least favorite vegetables smushed into one large space on your plate. Bottom line: No respectable kid would trade it for a bologna or even a PBJ sandwich.
All that food talk got me to thinking though: how would chickpea meatloaf translate in today's epicurean world? I had to give it a try.
I called a vegan friend and mentioned "vegetarian meatloaf." Stephanie quickly responded "chickpea." I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the dish had survived the last three decades. She offered a recipe but before I started making it, I surfed the internet to review a few variations. Like a disc jockey, I enjoying blending several recipes to create my own mix.
So, what was the final result of my chickpea adventure? It's as good as I remembered…and, for anyone, a delightful (and cost effective) alternative to meat. I will definitely make it again soon.
Still, I'm thinking: The true taste test would be for my 40-year old son to 1. Take a chickpea meatloaf sandwich to work and 2. Not trade it for something else. Then, I'd know for sure that the dish could last another 30 years.
Here's my updated version. It's tasty as a hot entrée with sides (i.e. wasabi mashed potatoes and corn) or as a cold pate with crackers. It even makes a pretty good sandwich.
==B Chickpea Meatloaf==
2 small carrots
½ small white onion, chopped
1 rib celery, minced
½ cup oats, toasted
1 Tbsp thyme
1 Tbsp rosemary
1 Tbsp parsley
¾ cup walnuts, toasted
3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp each chili powder, paprika, cumin
¼ cup sundried tomatoes
2 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 eggs
½ cup goat cheese
1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 heads roasted garlic
½ cup flour
Ketchup for glaze, optional
½ cup vegetable stock (only as needed to make the batter moist)
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor; blend until smooth. Add chicken stock, if needed, to achieve a moist but not mushy mixture.
3. Transfer mixture into 1 large loaf pan and glaze the top with ketchup, as desired.
4. Bake loaf covered for 45-60 minutes at 400F, until cake tester comes out clean.
Note: You can also split mixture between 2 loaf pans and freeze one loaf for later.

Thanks, Jacqui -- we'll try it!
My family and I have become interested in understanding our diet -- for us and our health, our family wallet, the environment and the animals raised for food (and very deliberately hidden from view of the consumers). "Omnivore's Dilemma" and especially "Eating Animals" have been factual, readable resources for folks who want to consider and control their choices in those regards.
One upshot is that we're eating less, but better meat as we search for beef and chicken that has been humanely raised and slaughtered. It's more expensive, and generally healthier for us, based on the animals' healthier diets and living conditions. The occasional vegetarian entree that hits-the-spot sounds like a good idea, too.
Thanks again!

Anyone make fancy beeswax candles? I am looking for more than just fancy poured molds. Looking for ideas or tips on braiding, colorations, etc. Tried a little carving on a taper and didn't like how it burned. The warm wax tended to be a little hard and difficult to carve also. Due to the irregular shape, it wanted to drip. Anyone know of any web pages on this also?

Global Exchange released a new report for the Rio+20 Earth Summit (June 20th-22nd, 2012), Rights of Nature Planting Seeds of Real Change.
This report takes a look at the flaws behind the Green Economy agenda and explores in depth the ways in which Rights of Nature can be applied as a legal framework to help solve many of the problems currently plaguing the environment.
The report includes articles from leading activists such as former UN Ambassador to Bolivia Pablo Solon, Vandana Shiva, Maude Barlow, Alberto Acosta, and many more.
Executive Summary
By Shannon Biggs
[1]From the extraction of the tar sands in Alberta, Canada to the deforestation of the Amazon, to the impacts of climate change, the results of the market-based economic system are visible from space — transforming our communities and ecosystems into sacrifice zones for corporate profit. The reckless drive for unlimited growth on a finite planet is itself a legalized Ponzi scheme perpetrated on communities around the globe, future generations and Earth's biosphere.
It is time for new thinking, new direction, and new actions.

Details on K-1 Asia MAX 2013 in Korea, Feb. 2
- Written by Rian Scalia
Well no one really knows exactly when or where the K-1 WGP Final will be, but K-1 does have another event coming up on February 2 in Seoul, Korea and the news has been floating around for around a few weeks now, though with no "official" announcement on it from K-1.
The event is called K-1 Asia MAX 2013 and will feature a one night, eight man tournament at 70kg, with the winner qualifying for the next K-1 MAX Final 16. Two tournament participants have been confirmed, and they're Woo Young Choi and Seong Hyun Lee (Sun Hyun Lee as he's often referred to as). There will be a total of four Koreans in the tournament, with the other two Korean participants coming from two tryouts that are essentially qualifying tournaments that MKF held/will be holding on December 15 and 22 in Korea. The other four participants will come from around Asia, with China, Japan and Mongolia being mentioned.
Also on the card will be a heavyweight super fight and a women's super fight. The heavyweight fight sees K-1 veteran Yang Rae Yoo fighting a to be announced opponent, while the women's fight sees Ekaterina Vandaryeva fighting a to be announced Korean fighter.
The thing about this is that it will actually be two events in one day, with the K-1 card just being one of them. The events are being put on by Yang Myung Kyu, who did the K-1 KHAN events back in the day. The other event is KHAN vs. Wu Lin Feng. Wu Lin Feng is the biggest kickboxing promotion in China and K-1 will enter a partnership with Wu Lin Feng where two annual events are held, with this KHAN vs. Wu Lin Feng being the first one. The second one will be held in China. Among names are slated for this event are Chang Hyun Lee, and the card will feature eight Korea vs. China match-ups.
Full details are outlined with English subtitles in the video above.

HISTORIC FLYPAST TO MARK SECOND WORLD WAR ROLE - Monday, 13 August 2012
Royal Armouries is set to pay tribute to the role of Fareham, Portsmouth and the surrounding area in the lead up to D-Day by staging a historic flypast as part of the Fort Nelson Tattoo.
The September 8 event is in support of three Armed Services' charities and the matinee performance will reach a spectacular climax with a flypast by a C-47 Dakota from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The Dakota is one of the world's most famous military transport
aircraft and saw widespread use by the Allies during World War Two.
It will take to the skies as part of the Fort's World War Two sequence, which highlights the role of the servicemen and women, and local civilians, as Portsmouth came under sustained attack from German bombers.
Museum director Peter Armstrong said, "It's particularly fitting that the Tattoo features a World War II sequence because Fort Nelson supplied ammunition to the AA batteries that defended the south coast. These weapons gave the local civilian population hope and a sense of fighting back, as they endured the dark days of 1940 and 1941."
The Tattoo will see the Victorian Fortress come alive during this spectacular event – complete with explosive gun firings, rousing military bands, historic re-enactments and breath-taking displays.
At the end of the evening performance, the Royal Armouries will light up the darkness, with a dramatic fireworks display, staged by Selstar Fireworks, one of the UK's leading fireworks companies.
Both performances will feature a stirring finale, featuring the massed bands, pipes and drums and the entire cast of the Fort Nelson Tattoo. Acts include:
- The Band of the Parachute Regiment
- Rose and Thistle Pipe Band
- HMS Sultan Volunteer Band
- British Youth Corps of Drums
- Solent Overlord Executive Military Collectors' Club
- Screaming Eagles Living History Group
- Colonel Robert Hammond's Regiment of Foote (Sealed Knot).
Profits will be shared by three Armed Services' charities – ABF The Soldiers' Charity; Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity; and the RAF Benevolent Fund.
Tickets are now on sale and each performance lasts approximately two hours.
Grandstand prices range from £18 per adult.
A family ticket for the picnic area (two adults and up to three concessions, including registered disabled, plus serving members of HM Armed Forces) costs from £46.
For full details and more prices, visit www.fortnelsontattoo.co.uk or call 0113 220 1887. Alternatively, email email@example.com

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
Installing a car seat properly in your car is key to your child's safety, and the KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is a rear-facing car seat that makes it a little easier to install. Like most car seats, there are two ways to install the base: the latch system or seat belt. The KeyFit 30 has a spring-assisted level foot and a center pull latch adjustment that not only make it easier to install, but also ensure that you've installed it correctly, which is really the most important thing. There are even bubble levels on both sides of the base so you can see that it's at the correct angle. Once the base is installed, the carrier easily clicks into the base.
There are a lot of safety features to this car seat, and hopefully you won't need to use these, but just in case of an accident, it's great to know they do exist. Energy-absorbing foam provides extra impact protection. There is also a removable insert for smaller babies between 4–11 pounds, which offers extra support around the head, neck, and back, and also makes babies more secure in the seat itself. The seat pad is thickly cushioned, and there's a five-point harness, so in addition to safety, these also provide additional comfort for baby, which is great for those long car rides.
The harness straps have three adjustable heights so you can change it as your baby grows. To loosen the straps, press the orange button. Once your baby is secured, pull the grey strap to tighten. You would also adjust the chest bar accordingly, and it should be about armpit height.
The infant carrier itself easily detaches by lifting the orange handle in the back. And then you can carry your baby around in it. It also weighs less than 20 pounds, but keep in mind that it feels a lot heavier once you have an actual baby in it.
When you want to put the carrier down, the handle has three positions: up for carrying, back, and stand, which keeps the carrier from rocking. In the carry or back positions, you can rock the carrier, which is a great feature if you want to rock your baby to sleep.
There is also a retractable canopy shade, though this one is pretty stiff and not the easiest to adjust. We wish it came out farther because as it is now, it won't provide much sun protection.
There are 19 different styles of the KeyFit 30 to choose from, each with its own unique color combination and pattern.
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat provides comfort, safety, and convenience to babies and parents. Parents will like that the car seat is easy to install and actually helps them know when they've installed it properly.
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is for babies from 4–30 pounds and up to 30 inches in height.
While your baby is still little, you can also use the carrier with different Chicco travel systems, including the Chicco Cortina, Cortina Together, KeyFit Caddy, S3, and the lightweight plush strollers.
The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat is available at Target.

text: Howdy everyone! Howdy everyone! Just traded off my 2008 GMC Sierra Z71 SLT2 4x4 1500 to my dad for his 2005 Chevy Silverado LS 2500HD 6.0L 4x4. Best part is the trade also included a 2005 Fleetwood Wilderness Extreme 25 ft. travel trailer :great:. I think I came out ok. I do miss my GMC a little because it has every bell and whistle imaginable but it wasn't as "HD" as I needed for camping and all the other outdoor stuff we do. My new Chevy is a one owner (my dad) with 94,000 miles. It's nice a clean and pretty stock. My dad added the A.R.E. cap, the Westin running boards, and a 45 gallon gas tank. Sense taking it last weekend I've tinted the front windows, ordered the power folding mirrors to replace the power extending trailer mirrors, have a new Kenwood stereo setup on its way, and have ordered a new intermediate steering shaft (thanks to gmtruckclub.com research). Off to a pretty good start and hope to be an active participant in this forum as things move forward with this pickup. Cheers!

Telecom Update: CCI Snubs EM, What's Next For Spectrum
Deutsche Bank is in day three of its annual Media, Internet & Telecommunications Conference.
Yesterday's management discussions included cellular-tower operator Crown Castle International (CCI) and hosting provider Equinix (EQIX), which it rates Buy. Also presenting Tuesday: telecommunications services provider CenturyLink (CTL) and the data-center Real Estate Investment Trust Digital Realty Trust (DLR), which Deutsche rates Hold.
Some quick notes on each, from Deutsche Analyst Brett Feldman:
- Crown Castle, similar to American Tower (AMT) and SBA Communications (SBAC), which presented Monday, is seeing strong leasing activity from the Big 4m driving strong volumes and higher average lease rates due to heavy loading of LTE gear. CCI remains unenthusiastic about investing emerging markets.
- Equinix said cloud demand is strong, and hybrid cloud solutions by enterprises are the key long-term growth driver. This did not ramp quickly in 2013, but the company says investment in a solutions-driven sales force should help this year and beyond. Expect new REIT metrics this year.
- CenturyLink expects to achieve revenue stability in '15 but continued margin pressure from mix shift in revenue to lower margin streams. CTL expects to complete its $2 billion share buyback program by the second quarter of 2014, and the new $1 billion program likely will be executed over the next 18-24 months.
- Digital Realty Trust is seeing strong demand from cloud, financial services, retail, and energy. DLR sees pricing as flat over the past year suggesting a stable supply/demand dynamic. DLR is slowing its development pipeline, but says that is the most attractive use of capital.
And as for spectrum auctions, Deutsche writes:
"This spring, the FCC is likely to update it spectrum ownership screen (include more spectrum, but maybe overweight low band). It is also likely to begin the process of writing rules for the AWS-3 auction, which seems on track for this fall. The big unknown remains the broadcast incentive auction; the FCC is targeting mid-'15 but broadcaster interest is mixed and little progress has been made to date on setting reverse and forward auctions rules, etc."


text: With the Homestead Act of 1862, Congress altered the way individuals could acquire federal land. Instead of selling the property, a policy that favored the wealthy, the federal government awarded a 160-acre plot to any citizen or intended citizen who claimed it by dwelling on it for a designated period and paying a fee. Congress had considered numerous homestead bills since the 1840s, but Southern senators routinely blocked them, wanting the land reserved for slaveholders. After 11 Southern states seceded in 1860–1861, the Homestead Act passed.

text: Annie, Annie…are you okay? As fitness professionals, we work every day with people who are stressing their bodies. Often these are overweight, out of shape and high risk clients. People who might be at risk for a heart attack or coronary arrest. But they aren't the only ones in danger. Even your fittest, most athletic client could choke on a piece of gum on their way into your gym. Would you know what to do? ACE requires certification exam candidates to hold current Adult CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) certificates prior to sitting for the exam. We also require ACE certified professionals to provide proof of their CPR/AED certificates at the time of renewal. But not just any CPR course will do. ACE requires that candidates complete an Adult CPR/AED course with a live skills check. This means there is a living, breathing instructor watching and checking off your skill performance. An online only CPR course alone cannot provide this live skills check. There are some hybrid courses offered by the American Red Cross or American Heart Association, for example, that provide an online information session/cognitive learning session, then helps you arrange to find an instructor in your area for the skills check. What about first aid? Isn't that important too? Actually, chances are you are going to run into a cut, scrape, sprained ankle, or upset stomach before you see a heart attack. It is valuable knowledge to have and you'll likely feel more comfortable practicing as a fitness professional with this skill set. At this time, however, ACE does not require a certificate in First Aid, but we do recommend the training. For additional information, feel free to contact an Education Consultant at 1-800-825-3636 x782 or visit our ACE Fitness Study Center Facebook Page. with any questions you may have.

(cause it sounds cooler) I am finding myself at more shows & cruise ins, and I wanted to do something to seperate myself from the crowd. And here it is... The Autoloc kit: part # tilthd Step one: Find where you're going to mount the brackets. I, obviously, needed them to be on the radiator support. I intended to weld the brackets to the support until I found out the rad support is aluminum and the brackets are powder coated steel. Step 2, Mock up: Remeber the old rule, measure a million times to cut once, this project is no exception. A mock up of how the whole hinge assembly will sit. This is when I discovered a hood clearance issue with the location of the heim joints. So I needed to flip the brackets around to move the joints back an inch.

Probably one of the most overratted, underachieveing, over-payed players in the NBA. And of course, the Knicks salavate over guys like this. I have never heard the word "potential" used so much on a player before. He will never, ever live up to his "pontential."
Fan 1: man that guy is doggin it out there... it looks like he should be dominating everyone that guards him.

#5 on the New York Knicks, Tim Thomas, standing tall at 6-10, 250 lbs, the sole reason for any success the team achieves. Deadly on the block as well as from behind the 3 pt arc, Tim Thomas is every team's prototypical big man. The Knicks are fucking lucky to have the next Jordan.

Prob the best player in the NBA. Often compared with LeBron and Kobe, but they dont stand a chance. If you are called Tim Thomas or T Squares you are a person who is wet from Three point range. You almost never miss.

Cancer antigen 27-29
CA 27-29 is a blood test used to monitor certain types of cancer. CA 27-29 is the name of an antigen, which is a substance that stimulates your body's defense system. Certain types of cancer cells release CA 27-29 antigen into the blood. This test measures the levels of CA 27-29 in your blood.
Breast cancer is the cancer most likely to release CA 27-29, and the FDA has approved the CA 27-29 blood test as a way for doctors to monitor people with breast cancer. Antigens like CA 27-29 that provide information about cancer are called tumor markers.
CA 27-29 is not a screening test to find out whether you have breast cancer. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, your health care provider may order the CA 27-29 test:
To find out whether your cancer has spread before starting treatment
To find out how well your treatment is working
To find out whether your cancer has come back or spread after treatment
Your doctor may check for another breast cancer tumor marker called CA 15-3. You may also have other diagnostic tests.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
It's important to know that a positive CA 27-29 test does not mean you have breast cancer or that breast cancer has come back. Your test results can be higher than normal for other types of cancer, such as liver, pancreatic, ovarian, and colorectal cancers. Some conditions that aren't cancer may cause a positive CA 27-29 test. Notably, some people with breast cancer do not have a positive CA 27-29 blood test.
Health providers measure CA 27-29 in units per milliliter (U/mL). A normal test should be less than or equal to 38 U/mL. Here is what your test results may mean:
If your CA 27-29 is less than 38 U/mL, it may mean that you don't have active breast cancer.
If your CA 27-29 is 38 U/mL or greater, you may have active breast cancer, your breast cancer may have come back, or your breast cancer may have spread. When breast cancer spreads to an area outside the breast, it is called metastasis.
If your CA 27-29 is 38 U/mL or greater, you may have a condition other than breast cancer that raises CA 27-29. These conditions include other types of cancers, as well as noncancerous breast diseases, cysts of the ovary, and liver disease. When CA 27-29 goes up because of a condition other than cancer, the test is called a false-positive.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Some noncancerous conditions may cause a false-positive CA 27-29. You may also have a false-positive result if you are exposed to mouse antigens in your environment or if you receive cancer treatments that use mouse antigens.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

As much as the final price was higher than the original quote there was a lot of work needing doing The bodywork was done to a really good finish. I was completely happy with it and my overall experience with e vehicles. I highly recommend this garage
Got both rear reluctor rings replaced on my BMW and was informed that I did not need to replace the ABS sensors (which another garage advised me to do). An excellent job done and a great price - I would definitely recommend this garage - as others have said, a really friendly guy.
Sean got back to me immediately. Arranged to drop car off, for him to have a look. Left it, and a few hours later, all sorted. Very happy and would reccommend.
Very friendly guy, hopefully he has fixed the leak won't really know until drier weather. Will definitely go to this garage again, very speedy
Sean was really good throughout. Fitted in with the fact that I had to work repair around my work. He was straight up about everything he did and the car is running much better with the faults described all cleared. I have a few more things to get done and reckon if Sean bid for them I would definitely take up his offer again. More than quoted price, but more work was required and was VERY reasonable for what was ultimately done (I was quoted > £300 to replace the part that Sean cleaned and made good). Thanks again!
Excellent from start to finish, delighted to hear the good news that the car had been sorted after trying 2 garages before with no luck.
Good customer service.towed my car down at lunch time and by end of play that my car was up and running with updates through the process.
Pleased with the service and mot. offered a lot of information with reference to car service. also other information regarding service plans and questionnaire for trading standards. competitive prices.
Very helpful, prompt service. Couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating to help me out.
First class service friendly manner will use again.
Very pleased as work was carried out as agreed. It was easy to drop the car off early and they phoned when it was ready for collection. Would recommend this garage. All communication with them has been friendly and helpful.
Fantastic ....so fast got my MOT and a new spring at the same time .... Will be my garage of choice from now on :)
Excellent service from Keith and his team. Very efficient and priced fairly. Got me back on the road in no time at all. Thank-you and I'll use again.
Contacted steve at knightsridge garage who was very helpfui discussed job agreed quotations for parts and price for job dropped of car in morning and car was ready to plck up later the same day can't praise service and help given enough
Great, no problems, would happily use again
Happy with the service, would use again!
Very good value job, handy waiting area with wifi so I was able to work on laptop while brakes were replaced. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and even go a free car wash afterwards so I would highly recommend this garage!
Don't know who is at fault. I accepted garage then was advised the garage will be in touch regarding dates. As of yet I've heard nothing.
Thanks so much for a great, friendly service at a competitive price.
Fixed the abs problem including the root cause which was a hub that had excess play in it which was touching the top of the abs sensor. This cost £350 and initially I thought that this price was including the MOT and all work to get through but that cost me £120 extra, the total price included 3 new tyres as well so was still quite reasonable for a MOT and was good that they found the root cause instead of just replacing the sensor. So yes recommended and will go back.
Ended up going to the East Kilbride one as it's easier to get to for me but cannot fault the guys at all. The guy I dealt with initially thought the car needed a new water pump but when i explained to him there was a problem with the full beam as well he checked again and ended up just needing a couple of new windscreen wipers, a fuse replaced and one of the electrical connections cleaned up a bit. Honest, upfront and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and would go back to them should anything else need done to cars. Thanks guys :)
I found the whole experience and value for money was excellent . The final price for 2 new tyres and wheel alignment was £95.00
Was messed about to start with due to a little bit of confusion, however in the end they got on with my MOT, quoted £20. First MOT failed due to some required work, had them complete that work and redo the MOT. The work was done quickly and didnt cost over the odds. My only complaint would be that they done the track rod end but didn't do the tracking on my car, when getting my car back they advised me to go get it done.... surely they should have done it as they done the track rod end? Any way all in all fairly good and fairly priced garage
Excellent garage. Drove me home when I dropped off the car and picked me up again when it was done. Work looks to have been done by proper mechanics. Will definitely use them again
no problem job done-satisfied.
Fantastic garage car was done that day timing belt done and water pump thanks for great service will definitely be back
Did a good job on the service. Had to take the car back the following day due to a faulty seal on the oil filter causing the oil to leak out of the car but they sorted it out and fitted a new one and checked everything was OK. Very friendly staff just a shame about the oil filter seal and the money it cost me in taxis due to the car going back in

Empowering people to lead healthier lives
Wellness and fitness go hand-in-hand, personal fitness trainers help people achieve both. By designing efficient workouts that are suited to the individual, personal fitness trainers empower people to reach their goals. At ACC, students receive a comprehensive education that combines science with the practical skills required to be an outstanding personal fitness trainer. Those skills include the ability to design safe, effective programs that integrate cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility, along with interpersonal techniques needed to truly relate to clients. Students perform an internship that builds important work experience, and graduates score highly on national certification exams. ACC's Personal Fitness Training program is an educational partner of the American Council on Exercise.
The following degrees and certificates are offered:
- Fitness Specialist Certificate
- Personal Fitness Trainer Certificate
- Associate of Applied Science Degree
PLEASE NOTE: If you have not already completed the ACC admissions process, please visit the Future Students page. At the financial aid page you can check your eligibility and submit an application.
This program has specific program requirements and prerequisite courses. Acceptance to ACC does not guarantee admission to this program.
What skills can I gain?
Students build expertise in the skilled instruction of aerobic and strength training, fitness assessment, exercise prescription, and the use and maintenance of exercise equipment. Also covered are the concepts associated with lifestyle changes for wellness including smoking cessation, stress management, and weight control, as are life sciences such as anatomy and physiology.
How long will it take to get a degree or certificate and what's the difference?
The Fitness Specialist certificate requires one semester to complete. It focuses on training the individual to be a support staff member in a fitness facility.
The Personal Fitness Trainer certificate requires at least one calendar year of full time study to complete. It features specific instruction in fitness training, evaluation and testing, and the design and implementation of exercise programs. The certificate is an excellent choice for current professionals wishing to update their skills or individuals interested in entering the personal fitness trainer profession.
Two years of study is typically needed to complete the Personal Fitness Trainer associate of applied science degree. This often depends on whether credits are transferred from another educational institution and whether the student attends courses full time. It builds a solid educational foundation with general academic courses while focusing on the theoretical and practical training skills required to become an outstanding exercise professional. This degree program also caters to individuals who plan to continue their education by transferring to a four-year university.
Where can I work with this education?
Most graduates begin work at traditional facilities such as national corporate gyms or local YMCAs, while others go to locally owned gyms. A smaller number start businesses of their own as personal trainers. Some typical employment settings for personal trainers include commercial and nonprofit health clubs, country clubs, universities, yoga or Pilates studios, and resorts. Increasingly, fitness workers also are found in workplaces as part of corporate wellness programs. Common positions for graduates include personal trainer, aerobic instructor, weight training instructor, fitness assessment technician, and fitness leader. Positions also exist in less traditional areas such as sports therapy clinics, cruise ships, fitness camps, and hospital wellness programs.

UPPER LAKE -- The Blue Wing Saloon Restaurant, closed for renovations since Jan. 2, reopens Saturday.
The Tallman Hotel, which was also closed for upgrades, was set to resume operations Friday. Four musical events are on tap to mark the occasion.
"The kitchen and other renovations have gone extremely well," owner Bernie Butcher said. "We have some real pros on the project with Mitchell Construction in Lakeport as general contractor and subs such as Totorica Plumbing and N & A Electric. It's amazing what they've accomplished in three short weeks."
To mark the reopening, the Tallman will host its first "Concert with Conversation" of the year Saturday evening in the Meeting House, featuring Paul McCandless on reed instruments together with Spanish guitarist Antonio Calogero. Tickets cost $25 plus tax and are available at the hotel.
The Blue Wing will host the Sylvia Herold Jazz Trio from San Francisco at brunch and folksinger Dennis Percell at suppertime on Sunday.
The John Mattern Band with Jeff Massonari on guitar will start a new season of Blue Wing Monday Blues at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
"Customers won't see a big physical difference," Blue Wing chef Brian Rebitzke said. "But we've got all new kitchens from the plumbing and flooring on up in both the hotel and restaurant. So an improved workspace means that our staff is more committed than ever to providing patrons with top quality food in a timely manner."
In addition to the kitchens, the hotel took advantage of the downtime to do extensive deep cleaning and repairs. Its innovative geo-exchange heating and cooling system was thoroughly overhauled by Air Connection, Inc. of Santa Rosa.
"Everything is spotless and ready to go," hotel manager Susan Mesick said. "As the economy slowly improves, we're looking forward to seeing a lot of new guests coming to Lake County -- and hopefully staying at the Tallman."

Panic time: Dems ready to extend Bush tax cuts for the wealthy too?
posted at 8:36 pm on July 22, 2010 by Allahpundit
It's the wealthy who drive consumer spending and the last thing you want to do in this economy is reduce that by raising taxes on them, so there's the economic argument for extension. But how will they get away with this among the lefty base? The core electoral argument for passing ObamaCare was that liberal turnout would collapse in the midterms if the Democrats disappointed them by failing on a core agenda item (again). Ending the Bush tax cuts for the rich is pretty core too, though — Obama promised to do it during the campaign — and yet they're now thinking of extending them for a year, two years, or even more in the name of further stimulus, notwithstanding the deficit-reducing tax revenue that'll be lost in doing so. It's a tough choice on the merits — economic health versus budgetary health — but politically I'm surprised that they'd be willing to play chicken with their base. Independents are a lost cause, so at this point, lefty turnout is pretty much their only hope of mitigating GOP gains in the House, no?
The revelation that tax increases could hurt the economy has recently been heard from Senators Evan Bayh of Indiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and, most surprising, even from Kent Conrad of North Dakota. On a scale of unlikely events, this is like the Pope coming out against celibacy. As Senate Budget Chairman, Mr. Conrad has rarely seen a tax increase he didn't like, but this week he averred that "As a general rule, you don't want to be cutting spending or raising taxes in the midst of a downturn."
Over in the House, Bobby Bright of Alabama even dared to defend the rich Americans who Democrats have been pounding for years. "I don't care if it's the wealthiest of the wealthy. You don't raise their taxes," he told The Hill newspaper. "In a recession you don't tax, burden and restrict." Better don the body armor on your next visit to the Speaker's office, Bobby…
The reality is that the increase in the top marginal income tax rate to higher than 41% will hit the most profitable small businesses especially hard. That's because millions of business owners pay individual rates under Subchapter S of the tax code. Today, this means they pay the same top rate as the Fortune 500: 35%. But if the 2003 tax rates expire, they'll suddenly pay more than Goldman Sachs.
Read the whole thing, which ends with a familiar win-win argument about how cutting taxes will generate more growth which in turn will end up reducing the deficit by boosting tax revenue. Naturally, Pelosi's against the idea of extending the cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers and, last I checked, so is The One, which means we may be headed for some sort of showdown pitting vulnerable centrist Dems as the champions of the rich right before they ask grassroots liberals to come out and vote for them in the midterms. Nuance. Here's video of (former?) Randian Alan Greenspan siding with Pelosi in the name of deficit reduction. Can't wait for angry lefties to complain that Kent Conrad et al. are actually further to the right than Alan Greenspan.

….. – and yet they're now thinking of extending them for a year, two years, or even more in the name of further stimulus, notwithstanding the deficit-reducing tax revenue that'll be lost in doing so.
The common misconception, fueled by the Democrats and Libs/Progs, is that tax cuts sacrifice revenue. The fact is that when Bush's tax cuts were enacted, revenue actually increased at the federal level. As did they under the tax cuts enacted by John F. Kennedy. As did they under the tax cuts enacted by Ronald Reagan.
The major problems which overwhelmed and drained that revenue during George W. Bush's presidency were: The new Medicare entitlement: Prescription Drug Program; plus the War on Terrorism, a big dollar ticket, along with financial aid to New York and other states in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks; plus the enormous debt incurred in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
Without those three major financial demands on the federal treasury, revenues would have actually reduced the deficit.
Plus there's a third financial burden that Bush inherited from William J. Clinton: Rebuilding the military. Yes, everyone pointed to a "surplus" left by Clinton. But if you look at how Clinton ravaged the military, cutting back on its budget and not allowing the military to spend the money to keep its technology current, that multi-millions that Clinton saved by pillaging the military budgets is what actually made up his so-called "surplus".
So when 9/11 happened and subsequently Bush sent troops over to Afghanistan and then Iraq, their equipment was woefully outdated. Remember the scandal when Bush was challenged by the Dems in Congress for allowing our troops to go into combat ill-equiped for the task? The vehicles and their uniforms had to be updated and retrofitted with armor, etc. That's thanks to Clinton's obsession with leaving a "surplus", and used the military budget to fund it.

Plus there's a third financial burden…..
KendraWilder on July 22, 2010 at 10:30 PM
My bad. That's supposed to read: "Plus there's a fourth financial burden….."
KendraWilder on July 22, 2010 at 10:33 PM
Without those three major financial demands on the federal treasury, revenues would have actually reduced the deficit.
KendraWilder on July 22, 2010 at 10:30 PM
Okay, so how can "tax cuts" actually create and increase federal revenue?
Simple, as historical study after historical study time and again have proven: The more money left in the hands of the private consumer, the more money they have to invest in small businesses and in other spending. More business equals more employed people and vastly lower unemployment.
More employed people equals more income taxes paid. Equals more revenues to the federal treasury.
Tax increases, conversely, reduces the spendable and/or investment reserves the private sector has, and unemployment goes up. Prime example is our current economic reality. Less employed people equals vastly reduced revenues to the treasury, and large outgo due to unemployment benefits.
Plus, another thing that happens, which I've been seeing but which few in the media will report: As most people know, during recessions the people most likely to get laid off are the older people who have higher salaries due to seniority, and higher medical expenses demands on group health insurance due to aging health issues. And as a result, anyone close enough in age to qualify for early retirement on Social Security will usually opt to do so because in addition they will get Medicare coverage eventually.
So on top of the unemployment checks burdens during a recession, the feds will have increased demands for Social Security and Medicare benefits.
IIRC, the unemployment rate under George W. Bush was at the most 4%. With that many millions of people being employed, income tax revenues had to be hugely greater than they are under the current 9.7% "official" unemployed numbers.

Take action on essential skills in your workplace: It's worth it!
This guest blog post is provided by the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills, which aims to improve the skills Canadians need to adapt and succeed at work.
In today's knowledge-based economy, businesses that develop their employees' skills will reap the benefits. Improving essential skills can help boost the productivity, innovation and overall competitiveness of your business. It is never too early or too late to start investing in your employees.
How to do it
Integrating essential skills into your business practices does not have to be time consuming or complicated. To help you get started, use Taking Action: A Guide that outlines a step-by-step process — including helpful strategies and useful tips — for developing and integrating essential skills training in the workplace.
Identify needs
The first step in developing an effective training strategy is to create a skills development plan using worksheets and checklists such as the Organizational Needs Assessment. It can help you:
- Identify the skills required for your business
- Identify the skill strengths or areas that may require improvement among your staff
- Make informed decisions about training and learning in the workplace
Implement a plan of action
Once you have completed a needs assessment, identified your employees' training objectives, and considered the most effective way to engage your staff, it's time to implement your essential skills training plan. Here are a few tips:
- Assume a leadership role and lead by example
- Gain employee buy-in by making the training relevant to the job and focusing on the needs of your employees
- Limit barriers to develop and secure employee participation — participation fosters ownership, improves credibility and encourages employees to become champions of the program
Whether you are just starting your business or planning for growth, implementing either a targeted or broader program to boost essential skills can help your business prosper.
To learn more about essential skills and to access helpful guides, checklists and worksheets, check out the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills' website.

As some of you know, as I've been posting over the weeks, I've been planning a neo-crusader beskar'gam. Well, finally I've decided what kind I'm going for and started it.
The design I'm going for is from the KOTOR comics, the flashpoint arc.
Here's a pic:
The one on the left of Rohlan (My avatar) is the one, but with minor changes. Sarim Thiri is supposed to hold the rank of Ruus'alor (sergeant) so the blues are red, and the jumpsuit is a bit lighter.
Some may say it ain't a neo, but even if it isn't from the games it sure is. The Mandos aren't like every other military, they're nomads and warriors. Also note that the Mandos from the games are in the era after the Mandalore war, and their armours were destroyed at the end of the war. So they could have made new armours in the meantime (KOTOR II mandos had new armours, you can see no damage on those)
I've started sewing the jumpsuit, and once finished I'll be uploading pics, makes no sense uploading until finished.
I got some sintra (thanks mobius) too, but as I'm a complete newb to the use of it, I'm still experimenting.
I've also bidded in a bucket to modify on ebay, and have been the high bidder since it started. :fettesb
Update: I won the auction, and the helmet is on the way to me. Should take 2-3 weeks.

I am looking for some updates on hive strength and overall losses.
Commercial guys only please.
Looking for reports out of california and texas.
Its been cold in both places and wondering how things are looking.
Our bees have not got much worse but have not got any better either.
honest reports only.


text: One of my swarm traps had lots of roaches in it. It's pretty nasty. Another had ants. But doesn't seem that dirty. How clean do they need to be to keep the honey sanitary?Should I use bleach or just hose them off or something in between? The traps are ten frame mediums. I think I have one swarm. If that trap had roaches will the bees clean it up theirselves?

How many hives are usually needed to pollinate an orchard? And what is an average rate per hive? I know this is kind of personal to a bussiness but ballpark figures would be appriciated. A orchard has shown interest in having a local beekeeper pollinate his trees. I dont have enough hives to do it right now, and before I spend too much, I would like to see if it would be worthwhile. Also would a standard trailor, with a ball hookup be suitable to transport hives? I just dont want to get involved in something that will strain resources and be unprofitable. (I will have to purchase/build new equipment to be able to do this.)
Thanks, Daniel

All I have to say is thank goodness for iPhone, so that I can still reply on the NYG's mb!!! (even tho' it takes 3 days to type out a message on an iPhone, there are priorities in life, after all!)
Thx for the scoop about typing out intructions...I am going to do that as clearly as possible, JUST in case the person receiving my HP speaks English!
The cord that connects the HP is nice & secure, but I keep losing power...even when I tried using different cords...so of course, the battery will no longer work either, because it can't be recharged.
My guess is that the HP has a defective pin at the connection site, because it can't make contact with the cord???
That Palin story has been going on forever. Our new leader of the free world, is going to be a senator with about 120 days experience, who has shady characters for friends.
I just hope that Obama can do something with corrupt, incompetent Pelosi....to get the economy moving again.
