yesterday when I visited one of my hives I found the queen on a frame in the super (first one) that I installed last week. In this super, there is a drawn frame full of syrup and pollen and 9 frames of plastic foundation (2 of them are beginning to be drawn by the bees. The brood chamber below holds 4 brood-frames, 3 food-frames, 1 foundation and 2 empty drawn frames.
I wonder why the queen didn't lay eggs in the empty frames and got up. Should I take her back down and place an excluder?
Also, when there is too much food-frames in a brood chamber and lot of empty space in a super, do the bees take the honey from the food-frames up to give space for egg-laying?
Thank you


text: Hey to all. I'm Chad and a couple of weeks ago bought new to me a 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. It's black with black interior. We have had nothing but rain and snow since I bought it so I have not had the chance to take any pics yet. I love my ride and want to do a few mods to it. I have already bought a billet grill and black bowties. It has factory 20's on it now but I want to upgrade my wheels by spring just not sure which way to go- all chrome, all black or what I am leaning toward a combintation of chrome and black. Been checkin out the site and have got some great ideas. There are some awesome trucks on here and I think this is a great site!

Where I stayed
Wal-Mart (Plymouth, MA)
After strolling through town, I stopped at the Pilgrim Hall Museum
Next, I visited the Mayflower II. This particular replica ship was built by the English in the same area that the original ship was built, and using the same methods and materials. It was built during the 1950's to celebrate American and English cooperation during WWII. Aside from the addition of electric lighting and replacing a ladder with stairs, the ship is a completely accurate 17th century replica. Many retired English shipbuilders were hired back from retirement to assist in the construction of the historic vessel, and ensure it was not only accurate but seaworthy. In April of 1957 the ship set sail from Plymouth, England to its new home in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Aboard the ship were a number of staff members who were dressed in period clothing and describing different aspects of the ship and life during the times of the ship. They were all incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the time period, and I almost wonder if one of them may have actually been a history professor. I also spoke to one of the staff members and asked him whether the ship is still taken out from time to time
Once I left the ship, I just walked along the harbor for a while before stopping for dinner. I stopped to eat at the CabbyShack Restaurant and Pub. They are supposedly very well known for their clam chowder, so I had to give it a try. I got a small bowl of the clam chowder to start with and fried scallops as the main course. I had never had scallops before, but the waitress highly recommended I try them. I can't say I was impressed with them at all. Almost no real flavor just a sweetness, and I can only describe the appearance and texture of the fried scallops as reminding me of golden-toasted marshmallows. At least I now know that I am not a fan of scallops. The clam chowder, on the other hand, was fantastic. Though it might not sound appetizing, it was the consistency of mayonnaise. It was so smooth, creamy, and thick that it was really unlike any chowder I had eaten before. The flavor itself was nothing at all like mayonnaise. It tasted fantastic and had plenty of meat with decent sized pieces of vegetables and just an amazing flavor. At the end of the meal, I wished I had just gotten a large bowl of chowder (or two) and skipped the scallops altogether.
With my belly full, I walked back to my car and drove up to Quincy, MA for the night.

In a room where joy, tension and broken dreams blend in a sort of real estate concrete mixer, the young woman with the mobile to her ear tries to contain her emotions. But it's tough staying cool and quiet when the prize starts to slip away.
Before her in the downtown Barfoot & Thompson auction rooms is lot two - a nicely renovated three-bedroom home at 54 Grand Dr, Remuera - and its position on the list is an indicator of wide interest. Momentum is a helpful aid in auction psychology and there's no logic in starting the day with a property with no appeal.
The first bid is spot on the 2011 $650,000 rating capital value and the progress from there offers an insight into the growth of parts of the Auckland market over the past 18 months.
The young woman, flanked by moral support, is into the action from the word go, ear glued to the mobile as she exchanges thoughts and counsel with her partner in Singapore - and her darting eyes size up the competition.
The price dances easily in $10,000 bids until it hits $800,000, and then there's a slowing to $5000 rises. At $825,000 it looks all over as the bidding grinds to a halt, with the phone combo in command.
But a day after Melbourne Cup day, the spurt to the line is just beginning. When the bid is raised to $827,500, the young woman lets out a painful "awwwwwww!" and auctioneer Murray Smith drains some of the tension when he tells her genially: "Other people are allowed to like the house, too, you know!"
The price has plainly gone beyond their hopes, but the couple stay with the action as the bidding passes the hidden reserve at $842,000 and Smith declares "we're selling!".
The woman turns to the competition 4m away across the aisle and offers a resigned "congratulations". But she can't resist a final flourish to $842,500 - quickly trumped with a final bid of $843,000.
As the winners celebrate their success, the disconsolate woman is hugged by her supporters and slips away. Getting the house you want with the money you've got can be a wearying business in Auckland at the moment.
Elsewhere among the lots on this November auction day, the results were just a little spotty, suggesting that while a bubble has been forming over the city it is not all-embracing.
Multiple bidders will often push prices beyond seller expectation as overall values continue to rise. But discerning buyers are still looking for fair value and generally won't entertain an overly optimistic vendor.
Of the 54 properties up for sale in the main auction room, precisely half sold under the hammer - 11 of them at apparently reduced reserves as Barfoot & Thompson staff negotiated buyers up and sellers down when bidding stalled.
Of the 27 properties passed in on the day - many to sell in due course to conditional buyers - 14 drew no bid at all and seven caught the attention of lone bidders.
The listings were from across the central city, including Remuera, Mt Eden, Mission Bay, One Tree Hill, Greenlane, Epsom, Ellerslie, St Heliers, Glendowie and Onehunga.
But it was a modest 1950s bungalow on 948sq m at71 Pilkington Rd, Panmure, that did the best. On the surface, the owners might have seemed a bit optimistic by setting a reserve at $515,000 against a rating capital value of $400,000. But they were on the money. In fact, they were well ahead of it: the house sold for $590,000 - 15 per cent ($75,000) higher than reserve.
Other top results from the Day:
• 4/15 Wairiki Rd, Mt Eden: sold at $517,000 - $37,000 above reserve and 83 per cent above a CV of $365,000.
• 49 peter Buck Rd, New Windsor: sold at $799,000 - $49,000 above reserve and 50 per cent above a CV of $530,000.
• 5 August Pl, Greenlane: sold at $841,000 - $41,000 above reserve and 27 per cent above a CV of $660,000.
• 43 and 43a Ngaio st, Orakei (giving 1168sq m of land ripe for development): sold together at $1.702 million - $142,000 above reserve and 24 per cent above the combined CVs of $1.2 million.

This is my 3rd spring and I had 5 hives last year, one had a laying worker and so now I have 4 strong hives being overwintered.
My question is: How do I plan for spring bees? Do I assume they will all make it and count them in my total number of planned hives? or assume they will all die and purchase as many packages/nucs as I intend on keeping the next year? Or a combination of that and buy a few or half and hope they all make it or no less then half die? Make sense???? Hope someone can answer or at least get me closer to an answer. Thanks for your time and appreciate any positive input.

Any athlete will tell you reaching a performance plateau is an extremely frustrating time in their career.
Netball administrators are experiencing the same kind of growing pains as the transtasman league enters its sixth season this weekend.
Once seemingly speeding headfirst towards becoming a fully professional sport in this part of the world, netball's progress has slowed somewhat in the past couple of years.
The big payday from an Australian broadcast deal that organisers had banked on when the competition first got off the ground has so far failed to eventuate, with the ANZ Championship to receive only modest rights fees from a new deal signed this month, of which details are yet to be released.
With no significant extra revenue coming in, the chances of the athletes getting paid more and the competition expanding to get rid of the highly contentious one-and-a-half-round draw any time soon don't appear likely.
"It hasn't matured as quickly as we'd hoped from a broadcast and commercial perspective," admits Netball New Zealand chief executive Raelene Castle.
"The Australian broadcast market has been a lot more challenging for a female sport to break into."
While progress has slowed, the competition is by no means going backwards. The administrators have taken a conservative approach when it comes to expansion, with financial sustainability guiding their every decision.
Yet the joint partnership between Netball NZ and its Australian counterparts has reached a critical juncture and it could be a timely opportunity to re-examine their objectives. The seeds of the transtasman league were planted in early 2006, when, with the now defunct domestic league sponsored by a now defunct bank in its ninth year, Netball NZ recognised that the product had gone as far as it could under that format.
They began kicking around ideas and came to the conclusion that if the game was going to grow, they needed to expand into Australia.
But to do so meant joining forces with their fiercest adversaries.
"It was like sleeping with the enemy in a sense. There were some very fraught meetings in the early days, it took a long time to build that trust," says Castle.
But the longer they looked at it, the more they realised a transtasman netball league had the potential to be mutually beneficial. Each country in a sense had what the other yearned for.
New Zealand wanted a strong, competitive league, which depth in this country didn't allow for, while Australia had looked enviously at the profile and media coverage netball enjoyed in this country and wanted a piece of the action.
With Australia failing to make the inroads they had hoped for, there is an argument that they may have handed away their competitive advantage without achieving the objectives they wanted.

Samurai: Beyond the Sword
Sunday, March 09, 2014 – Sunday, June 01, 2014
Discover the artist behind the armor. Samurai: Beyond the Sword is a rare opportunity to experience the world of the Japanese Samurai. Moving beyond the stereotype of the warrior, the exhibition explores the role of the military arts and the importance of Samurai engagement in the cultural, spiritual and art worlds of their time.
(Tickets are free for DIA members. Reserve your complimentary timed tickets)
Samurai: Beyond the Sword is based on the traveling exhibition Lethal Beauty: Samurai Weapons and Armor, from the collection of the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture. Birgitta Augustin, DIA associate curator and acting department head of Arts of Asia & the Islamic World, along with consultant Masako Watanabe, curated Samurai: Beyond the Sword.
The exhibition offers an in-depth look at the samurai—shoguns (supreme military rulers), daimyo (regional lords) and soldiers—who sought balance between military and cultural pursuits. The exhibition explores artworks that project the image of the samurai not only as fierce warriors but also as patrons of the arts and sophisticated artists and scholars during the relatively peaceful Edo period (1603–1868).
Menacing suits of armor and meticulously crafted sword blades are evidence of the samurai's military might, while exquisitely painted scenes of nature and finely crafted tea ceremony objects reveal their aesthetic ideals. Many objects used for battle are embellished with artistic, literary and spiritual symbols, illustrating the integration of samurai values.
Among the artworks are helmets, face masks, and paintings of legendary Buddhist and Chinese figures, as well as scenes of epic battles, shimmering Noh theatre costumes and illustrated classical literature on screen and scroll paintings. These and other objects reveal the principles of awareness and mindfulness that samurai pursued throughout their lives.
An array of programs are being offered to enhance the themes in the exhibition, including artist demonstrations of a Japanese tea ceremony, floral arranging, martial arts, kiting, bunraku-inspired puppets, performances on traditional Japanese instruments and films.

How Should You Tell Your Intimate Partner You Have HIV?
Many people worry that they will lose an important—or even their only—support system when they tell their intimate partners that they are HIV-positive. It's perfectly normal to feel nervous, embarrassed, or even fearful of your partner's reaction, which may be verbal or even physical.
Disclosure is a process, so it may take you several conversations. It's possible that your spouse or partner's reactions to learning your status may change as time goes by. To make the disclosure process as open as possible:
- Have your conversations in a safe and secure place. Choose a space that provides privacy, yet offers comfort and familiarity.
- Tell your spouse or partner that you have some important news to share.
- Be prepared to talk about your diagnosis in a clear way and provide basic information about what it means to live with HIV.
- Do not attempt to discuss your diagnosis if you feel you do not have a clear sense about what it means.
- It may be helpful to have some information, (printed material or websites) available to help with any questions your spouse or partner may have.
- Be prepared to explain that HIV can be contracted during unprotected sex and provide your partner with information about HIV testing and where he or she can get tested.
For more information on HIV that may be helpful in the disclosure process with your spouse or partner, see CDC's Basic Information
Related Topics on AIDS.gov
Frequently Asked Questions
Do have to tell my spouse or partner?
Though each state has different policies and procedures related to partner notification, each does require that all past, present, and future sex and needle-sharing partners be notified of a potential exposure to HIV. Health departments can assist with the notifications.
Additional Resources
- Children Now & CDC - Talking with Kids about HIV and AIDS
Talk with Your Kids is a national initiative to encourage parents to talk with their children early and often about tough issues like sex, HIV/AIDS, violence, and alcohol and drug abuse.
- CDC - Recommendations for Partner Services Programs for HIV Infection, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydial Infection
CDC strongly recommends that all persons with newly diagnosed or reported HIV infection, or early syphilis, receive partner services with active health department involvement. STD and HIV partner services offer STD, HIV, and other public health programs an opportunity for collaboration to deliver comprehensive services to clients, improve program efficiency, and maximize the positive effects on public health.

If Ruger can't tell, the .Gov can't either.
To all that live in a state where the AWB did not go away.
Before you go shelling out $100 for a "pre-ban" factory 30 rounder, check this out.
I could not seem to get a straight answer on how to ID a pre 94 mag. So I sent an email to Ruger CS dept for the straight skinny. Here is my email and their reply.
Ruger Customer Support firstname.lastname@example.com
5:57 PM (3 hours ago)
Dear Mr. XXXXXX ,
Thank you for using the Ruger On-Line Customer Support Request Form.
This e-mail is in response to your question or comment of 08/17/2012
Request No: 150993
Comment / question:
I have a question regarding magazines for my mini-14
As I'm sure you are aware, here in MA any magazines over 10 rounds must be pre-ban (mfg before 9/14/94)
How can I tell when a mag was mfg? The ones between 94 and 04 are marked LEO, so those are obvious, but how can I tell the difference between one made pre 94 and one made post 04?
I just want to make sure that I keep it legal.
Thank You,
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell.
If you need further information, please visit our website at www.ruger.com or contact us at:

Please note: This e-mail is sent from a notification-only address that cannot accept incoming e-mail. Please do not reply to this message.
Ruger Firearms
If Ruger can't tell, the .Gov can't either.
Exactly why I've been doing the happy dance ever since I got the reply.
For long time Ruger would sell 20 round magazines to the public but didn't sell 30 round magazines to the public until later. There are likely a lot more 20 round magazines around than 30 round magazines. When Ruger started selling 30 round magazines, a friend bought a Mini-14 and he bought a case or two of magazines every pay check. He bought both 20 round and 30 round magazines. The 20 round magazines were $14 and the 30 round magazines were $18.
The Gooberment will say they are illegal and it will be up to you to prove they're not.
I'm sure that was the plan all along.
Actually the burden of proof is with the prosecution. If a law is written so that compliance, or lack of, cannot be established then the law is unenforceable.
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
Depends on whether or not pre-ban is a "positive defense" or not. Some laws totally ban an item, but state it is a positive defense if they meet certain criteria. Here, MGs are like that. Simple possession is all they have to prove, it's on you to prove they are legal with your tax stamp and form.
I think the difference here is that all machine guns are banned except those with verifiable form and stamp.
In max's case there is no verifiable equivalent to the registration.
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
So, if you can't really distinguish the prebans, what would I expect to get out of a 20 round unmarked and a 30 round with a Ruger marked floorplate?
The mini-14 is reportedly very finicky about mags. If you go to the mini forum 9 out of 10 report problems with non Ruger mags. Therefore the resale on aftermarket mags is very low.
The 30 round ruger mag goes for $40 new, so $25-$30 for a used one would be about right. The unknown one, maybe $20.

Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe King Room on the Concierge Level
- Daily Breakfast Buffet for Two
- Bottle of Wine on Arrival
- $40 Restaurant Credit
- 2 p.m. Late Checkout
The inaugural capital of colonial French Louisiana, Mobile, Alabama, gained its name from the Native American Mobilian tribe that lived along the shores of Mobile Bay—and with an Escape to the Marriott Mobile Hotel, you can explore the rich history of one of the Gulf Coast's most celebrated cultural centers.
"Few American cities can claim a rich and colorful history that includes occupation by three European powers, decades as a wealthy, cosmopolitan port, and service as the capital of a vast colonial empire," says The New York Times. "Today's visitors [to Mobile] can wander along what Baedeker called 'broad and quiet streets shaded with magnolias and live oaks' and explore historic districts that shelter a profusion of white-columned porches, ornate iron balconies and showy gardens."
Situated in the heart of the city's entertainment and shopping district—with easy access to the Mobile Regional Airport—the newly renovated hotel features a 2,200-square-foot fitness center, plenty of meeting space, and an outdoor pool. In addition to offering breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres, concierge-level Deluxe rooms are well appointed with Marriott's Revive Bedding and LCD TVs.
Downtown Mobile is packed with entertainment possibilities. Explore "where history meets heroism" with a visit to the USS Alabama Battleship; stroll through the Antebellum architecture of the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion; or peruse the city's spread of unique boutiques. When dinner calls, the hotel's on-site Sage Restaurant and Bar dishes out classic American cuisine.
A gorgeous locale along the Gulf, Mobile's rich history and quaint culture paint a stunning Southern scene.
"I did not think much about Mobile until our stay at the Mobile Marriott. What a view. From the window, you can see the waterway and the ships moving up and down."-- TripAdvisor

Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon review - The Above 'Standard' ZoomBy Ben Boswell - Friday March 01 2013 Lens Review
For many people an introduction to photography is through a compact camera: usually, these days, one with a zoom lens covering medium-wide through to short telephoto. The next step is often an SLR and the "standard" zoom, covering the same range. The quality of this "standard" zoom can be the difference between great results and disappointment, so the choice is important. This Sigma 17-70 f2.8-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is both good and versatile, no disappointment here.
The Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is a "standard" zoom lens for APS-C cameras, in this case Canon. It is also available for Nikon and Sigma APS-C bodies. It covers the range 17mm to 70mm, the relative focal length for full frame 35mm would be 27.2mm to 112mm. This type of lens is aimed at photographers looking for a single, all purpose lens that will at the same time be compact enough to carry around. This particular lens is also equipped with a Macro setting allowing focussing down to 22cm giving a reproduction ratio of 1:2.9.
The design is of 16 elements in 14 groups, two of the elements are FLD (with characteristics similar to flourite glass) and one is SLD (Special Low Dispersion glass). It is optimised for use with digital capture, as one would expect for an APS-C lens and is equipped with optical stabilisation (OS), a hyper-sonic motor (HSM) for autofocus and a 7 bladed iris giving a round aperture. The diameter is 79mm, the length 82mm and the weight is 470g Sigma has recently introduced categories for its lenses, A for Art lenses, S for Sport lenses and C for Contemporary lenses.
This 17-70 is the first offering in the Contemporary category, the design characteristics of which are 'Superior optical performance and compactness". The construction of the lens includes "Thermally Stable Composite" (TSC) material for increased durability and reduction in weight. Sigma does not explain exactly what this material is but it has the benefits of polycarbonate components, but avoids their thermal expansion.

Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

Qualified Education Agent Counsellor - PIER
Mr. Ramashwamy N., is a retired Engineer with four-decades of work-experience within India's government-owned national media providers All India Radio (A.I.R.) and Door Dharshan Kendra ( D.D.K.). The fact that he was a first-gen graduate from his family and town and a first-gen central government employee (a coveted employment status in even a present Indians' mind), never crippled his art of humility and perfection. This innate talent with his amicable persona has taken him far and wide in its literal sense within India and abroad.
Hailing from a typical Tamil family which has ethics deeply engrained in his veins, Mr. Ramashwamy has always opined the right to remain the righteous. His sheer courage made him become a first-gen entreprenuer investing in some of first-gen projects such as TV dealership - TV Traders which later became TV Tronics - which existed for over three decades. In another first, Mr. Ramashwamy pioneered in the distribution of Cable TV successfully in Chennai, India where yet again he was extremely successful in the same.
Now, upon seeing his son affected with certain very prominent foreign education agencies, education-wise and professionally, which take their prominence for granted, Mr. Ramashwamy along with his son, has invested in yet another ethical opportunity - Scholarclips International Education. The company was incorporated in 2012 and has revived itself in 2015.
Please note, our company does not support, encourage or believe in such 'paid-ethics' certifications including AIRC. Ethics is not something we buy or sell. We are interested to partner with ethical, reputed & recognized Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from across the world. For further info contact us - email@example.com
Thanks for visiting us! Hoping to work with you soon.

El Centro Power Plant
Unit 3 Repower Project
Docket Number:
06-SPPE-2 (Application For Certification)
06-SPPE-2C (Compliance Proceeding)
Project Status: Licensed; In Compliance Phase. Operational: October 5, 2012.
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on January 3, 2007. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Jeffrey Byron, Commissioner, Presiding Member
James D. Boyd, Vice Chair, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Garret Shean
Key Dates
- May 19, 2006 - Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE) filed with Energy Commission
- June 29, 2006 - Energy Commission find application is adequate to begin formal proceeding.
- December 20, 2006 - Presiding Members Proposed Decision released.
- January 3, 2007 - Commission Decision. Posted: January 6, 2007. (PDF, 9 pages, 536 kb)
- October 5, 2012 - Online and Producing Power
Imperial Irrigation District (IID) proposes to replace an existing steam-generating unit within the site of the existing El Centro Generating Station (ECGS) located in El Centro, Imperial County, California. The El Centro Unit 3 Repower Project would be owned and operated by IID. The Unit 3 repower will continue to serve the growing electrical load demands of the region.
The Unit 3 repower will replace an existing boiler with a General Electric Frame 7EA dry low NOx combustion turbine generator and heat recovery steam generator to supply steam to the existing steam turbine generator. The generator output from the Unit 3 repower will be stepped-up to transmission system voltage and interconnected to the existing IID El Centro Switching Station also located within the ECGS property. Most of the existing Unit 3 plant systems will continue to be used with only minor modifications. The Unit 3 repower will increase the existing Unit 3 generating capacity by 84 MW from 44 MW to 128 MW.
The new combustion turbine generator step-up transformer will interconnect with the existing 92-kV portion of the El Centro Switching Station via an overhead line approximately 2,350 feet long and 50 to 80 feet high. The interconnection facilities are entirely within the existing El Centro Switching Station and adjacent areas within the EGCS property.
The Unit 3 repower will interconnect to the existing Southern California Gas Company high pressure gas metering station located on the existing ECGS property. The connection will occur via two existing pipelines running south from the Gas Company's Niland regulating station to the ECGS. Minor modifications at the ECGS site will be performed to support the proposed project including changes to the metering station for increasing the flow of high-pressure gas through the station serving the new Unit 3 combustion turbine.
Annual water consumption for the Unit 3 repower is expected to be approximately 1,125 acre-feet. The existing ECGS uses raw water from IID's Dogwood surface canal Gate 54B for cooling tower make-up. An existing demineralization system treats the raw water to provide high quality make-up water. These existing systems will be used to meet the expected water requirements for the proposed project. IID also proposes to eliminate the discharge from the entire ECGS and dispose of the wastewater to a deep injection well system, consisting of two Class I non-hazardous wastewater deep injection wells approximately 2,000 feet below ground surface. These wells will be located on the ECGS property.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Excerpt: "Hakeem Nicks didn't just show up at the Timex Performance Center on Tuesday and speak with coach Tom Coughlin and reporters in the morning. He also participated in the first practice of the Giants' three-day minicamp in the afternoon.
Nicks didn't appear to be going full-speed, but he worked during both individual and 11-on-11 drills. For the complete story on Nicks, click here.
In other news from Tuesday's practice:
Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan had been serving as the team's starting wide receivers during OTAs in the absence of Nicks and Victor Cruz. But Louis Murphy was paired with Randle when the Giants began 11-on-11 drills on Tuesday.
Both Jernigan and Nicks eventually got snaps with the first unit as well. But Coughlin has spoken very positively about Murphy in recent weeks, and it appears the 26-year-old speedster, who played for the Carolina Panthers last season, may be climbing up the depth chart.
Coughlin sounded relatively pleased with his team as a whole following the nearly two-hour practice on Tuesday.
"We had good energy," Coughlin said. "Good energy today." Read more...

Maternity Case Managers (MCMs) are nurses, social workers, and other professionals trained to help pregnant women who have situations in their lives that could lead to problems with their pregnancies or childbirth. The goal of the Maternity Case Management (MCM) program is to lower risks for the woman and her baby and make sure she gets prenatal care by a health care provider such as a doctor, nurse practitioner, or midwife.
When a woman sees a Maternity Case Manager, she is helped to deal with health, social, economic, and dietary parts of her life that are important for a healthy pregnancy and in planning for her labor and delivery. MCM services include seeing the woman's strengths and referring her to community services she may need. There are eight required training topics of the MCM program:
1) Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug exposure2) Maternal oral health3) Breastfeeding promotion4) Perinatal mood disorders5) Prematurity and pre-term births risks6) Maternal/fetal HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and Hepatitis B transmission7) Nutrition, healthy weight, and physical activity8) Intimate partner violence (IPV)
MCMs conduct prenatal and postpartum (after the baby is born) visits with their client, usually in the client's home. They visit the home and determine safety, nutrition status, emotional needs, and relationship support, and provide education, counseling, and referral as needed. MCMs help clients set goals for making healthy lifestyle choices and fostering personal growth.
MCMs identify pregnancy problems or illnesses which the woman may have had in the past and might require immediate referral to healthcare. They offer drug and alcohol referral services, and offer the "5 As" as brief interventions to help pregnant women quit using tobacco. Pregnant women are eligible for MCM services who have identifiable risk factors, use alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs.
MCM services are covered by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) for women who have incomes up to 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
To ask about getting services, contact your local county health department.

When I do the header install I plan on changing my Cats out to Magnaflow 99006HM Universal Cat's. Where I need the feedback is on the whether I should install a Y pipe, run true dual out, run an X Pipe? When I start this project I am looking for the best sound and HP Gain. I know that vehicles require some back pressure and I don't want to do all this work and loose HP. I plan on doing most of the work myself except for the welds. Also, what else would anyone recommend as far as the exhaust, true dual or dual in and dual out exhaust?

So it is practically the same thing
And actually, it is a flag that an athlete carries into the opening and closing ceremonies Joe.
And the US athlete given that honor is selected by the the US Olympic Committee, not US Skating.
All the torch stuff is typically handled by the host nation. Look for Wayne Gretsky to be one of the finalist for the torch lighting. Maybe Liz Manley, Karen Magnusson if she is still able.......but definitely a Canadian sporting legend will have that honor.
There is one change being considered for the LP though. As a "returning" skater Sasha may be given two chances at her LP if she has trouble with her first LP.
But Plushy will only have one chance since he is the reigning Gold medalist.

Remember, there are rules, but there is also this powerful, mysterious committee that meets behind closed doors, protected by armed guards, that can still grant Becky and Alexe another spot ..................
........................ regardless of rules.
I think the USFSA will wait and see who does the best in their first event before giving that one out.
No bending of the rules is necessary. That is just what these TBA's are for -- so that the host federation can wait and see and make their decision later based on fuller information.
Just like the TBAs at TEB, reserved for two more French skaters. They probably want to wait until after various summer competitions before deciding which two French skaters to send, after Candice Didier.

I was happy and proud of Rachael after her LP at world's and a 5th place finish was more than respectable for her first trip. She did make a couple of mistakes in her SP so even though she is very reliable, anyone can make mistakes.
It feels like many fans here would like to see Racahel and Caroline as the two who will go to Vancouver from USA. But I have a feeling that won't happen.
Lets for one minute assume that each skater will skate their perfect best. I will place them in the following order:
GOLD. Kwan - assuming she returns, with her presence alone can bring the house down.
SILVER - Sasha, Flatt, Caroline, Nagasu, Czisny
BRONZE - Wagner, Bebe, Gilles, Hughes, Meissner
All others
However, staying with the topic of Rachel Flatt I feel that she was robbed the last two nationals. Realistically she should have won 2008 and definitely 2009. I don't know what else she could do to get higher scores other than do a quad and triple axel. She has great musicality but, her style is not for everyone. I hope she picks better music this coming season. I thinks she understands that she is never the favorite among the American girls. At 17, she will not gain any more flexibility so forget that. Her revenge is to skate clean, buy a pretty dress and select pleasing music.
Right now, Rachael is the most expressive of the U.S. ladies in competition; this belief has been further strengthened by what I saw at the WTT. I'm also 99.99% sure Rachael will make the Olympic team.
That being said, I'm not happy both her new programs are choreographed by Lori Nichol. Bad move, Rachael, bad move.
Why am I reading a lot of predictions of gold medals by ardent fans of the predictee.
And why is it that no one ever sends a note that they were absolutely wrong that their favorite didn't win after the comp?
Best thing to do is enjoy the best skates. that night There are usually more than one, and then comment on who should have won.
At Nationals I don't know how she could keep her head up after Alissa won with only 3 triples. I would have been pissed. If next year she wins another silver she should go Bonaly(1994 Worlds) on them. I applaud her and I have always been a fan since I first saw her.
I remember Galindo once saying "if you skate strong enough they are bound to notice you" or something to that affect.

Team NZ: 'It's a battle'
11:21 AM Friday Sep 20, 2013
Dean Barker and Jimmy Spithill square off in the post race media session re changing the America's Cup rules and the momentum of an Oracle come back. There will be no panic in the Kiwi camp - they still hold a 8-2 lead in the series and have immense confidence in their boat. But that will be of little consolation to impatient New Zealand fans eager to kick off celebrations.

If your feet aren't summer-ready, there is no point in slipping them into a pair of gorgeous sandals. If you're wondering what shade to select during your next pedicure appointment, I have a few tips for you...
When your sandals are summer staples like the Silhouettes' Espadrilles, select vibrant shades that compliment tan skin. A great shade to try this summer is China Glaze's vibrant teal with flecks of gold called Custom Kicks in their recent Kicks collection. Custom Kicks is a deep, saturated teal that instantly brings back memories of the beach. (Photo courtesy of All Lacquered Up)
One of my favorite things about summer are all of the ornate and embellished sandals that are available. There is nothing more luxe than elaborate sandals, but you have to be careful that your polish doesn't overpower them. Silhouettes' Flower Sandals are on trend this summer, just be sure to let your sandals be the focal point. Select a light shade to compliment the metallic look. Baby Pink by Nubar is a great choice to show off your pedicure perfect feet and your tan. After all, if you wanted a boring look, you would have purchased flip flops, right?
What polish are you wearing right now?

Where Have All The Plus Size Clothes Gone?
The economy is getting a really bad reputation. Every product failure, bottom line and red number has a company, an economist or a reporter blaming the "recession". It is no secret that major corporations have taken a hit, not to mention some small businesses are barely making ends meet. Why does every loss have to be because of the economy? Whatever state the economy is in, I'll leave it to the analysts to debate as I am no financial expert. What I do know is that we have to change the way we think (and the way we shop), especially if we want to encourage the growth of the plus size market.
Major retailers like Ann Taylor are pulling size 16s from their selling floor to offer them exclusively online. Ellen Tracy and Bloomingdale's have also made moves towards eliminating their plus size lines entirely. Old Navy initially offered plus sizes in stores until the line performed so poorly due to fit that it was reintroduced online. Who is to blame for major brands being unable to adequately serve the plus size consumer? It's certainly not the consumer's fault, as plus size women do not wander streets of the world au naturale!
Additional fabrics, patterns and fit models cost a brand 10% more to produce on average. As a plus size consumer, I am fully aware that it takes more fabric to cover my body than a size 2 or 10 and I am prepared for those costs to be passed on to me. Designer Tadashi Shoji utilizes a plus size fit model to adapt his designs for larger sizes, as many companies do. If a man who creates gorgeous evening wear worn by celebrities can understand the need, why can't brands that embrace the working woman? Plus size women have different needs than straight sizes, however the same can be said for other segments within the fashion marketplace, such as petite or tall sizes.
Each woman has her own challenges in regards to finding clothing which best suits her body type and not every customer can be served 100% of the time. Sales of apparel sized 16+ have dropped 8% from March 2008 through March 2009 in comparison to 2% for straight sizes. The NPD Group estimated in 2001 that 60% of Americans wearing a size 12+, with 50% of Americans wearing 14+ and 30% wearing a 16+. In 2005 plus size clothing sales were $31,954 million while straight sizes sold $77,100 million. The plus size industry had an estimated value of $35 million in 2006 of which 99% of the industry is clothing related. All of these facts and figures leave us with one simple answer: there is a large demand for plus size clothing and money to be spent. But why do straight size brands who dip their toe into the plus size market garner all the attention?
These brands are "testing" plus size clothing lines (for example, Forever 21 and Faith 21) and releasing press releases about the introduction of a plus size line when one already existed in stores (Target). Perhaps if brands approached the plus size consumer from a business standpoint rather than trend marketing, more brands would flourish in the marketplace.
What these articles fail to mention are the brands serving the plus size consumer and doing it well - designers and buyers who understand their customer, embrace their customer and exceed their customer's expectations. To be honest, in the plus size marketplace it is not that difficult to do. We have been so let down by major brands thinking because they have name recognition and a certain amount of recources they can do it better that our expectations are lowered (and they shouldn't be).
I prefer to patronize brands that support me and understand my needs. I am not a figment of your imagination or a trend that will be gone within the next 6 months. I am not going to have plastic surgery, try the next "it" diet or wear ill fitting clothes just because of a label and a good marketing campaign. I have clothing needs and companies want money - why can't we all just get along?

Re: eggplant
Hi Cindy!
I love eggplants the most when grilled, you can just marinate them (for example with olive oil, garlic and parsley) and then serve with ciabatta or crostini, etc.
A very simple and fast recipe, that I'm sure kids love:
Slice the eggplant in round discs, about 1 cm thick. grill them on a barbecue or in a grillpan, you don't need to oil it. when they have a nice grill pattern, lay them on a clean surface, and put on each of them a slice of prosciutto crudo and some cheese, like mozzarella, parmigano or ricotta. roll it up and stick them on a wooden skewer. you can stick more than one pro skewer, than lay them in a oveproof dish, chop some parsley and garlic and scatter and put in the oven, only for a few minutes to reheat it and melt the cheese.
A more complex recipe but really, really tasty for eggplants is parmigiana.
Jamie has a lovely recipe for it on this homepage, and it's really worth it. I think kids love it too, cause it's made with a tomatoe sauce and lots of parmesan.

Re: eggplant
There is a load of delicious Italian dishes with eggplant (melanzane). Parmigiani Melanzane probably being the best of them. I don't have my own recipe, I always use a cookbook (The Silver Spoon, fantastic book) but this recipe seems very good as well:
Another great dish is Spaghetti di Norma, I used the same website as a recipe reference:

And check this link for even more Italian eggplant recipes

Re: eggplant
The one thing you need to remember about eggplant is that it needs to be well cooked to taste good. When it is well cooked it goes all creamy and yumm.

Re: eggplant
Hi Cinderellacindy
Melanzane is the national vegetable of sicilians. The name comes from mela insana = insane apple, funny, isn't it ?
One of the best known recipes is Pasta alla Norma called so in honour of Bellini's opera "Norma". The recipe is quite ellaborate yet simple to do:
400g spaghetti
2 egg-plants
1 can of cherry tomatos
1 bundle fresh basil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 handful of grated parmesan
1/2 handful grated pecorino (absolutely necessary)
3 TS extravergine olive oil
salt, pepper
Cut one egg-plant (do not peel) lenghtwise in 1 cm thick slices, lightly brush with olive oil and grill on both sides. Sprinkle some sea salt and origano and set aside.
Dice the other (do not peel) egg-plant into cubes 1x1 cm, salt and let stand for 30 minutes then drain in cold water.
Saute the onion and diced egg-plant in 2 TS of olive oil. Olive oil will be absorbed by egg-plants but will be released again when soft, so do not over use oil...cook untill melanzane are soft, brown and have a silky texture.
Add canned tomatos, and cook for another 5 minutes. Jutst at the end add the basil leaves (tear them by hand, pls. do not use a knife) parmesan and pecorino. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in the pasta, toss well.
If the sauce is too thick add some water from the pasta (2-3 TS will do just fine).
When serving ornate plate with the grilled egg-plants cut in stripes and sprinkle some parmesan and 2-3 nice basil leaves.
If I may recomend a wine, it should definitely be a sicilian Nero d'Avola

Re: eggplant
I like to make an eggplant spread to eat with bread/toast, or to use as a dip for veggies:
Roast pierced eggplant till tender. Scoop out the insides and process together with olive oil, salt, pepper, handful of coriander leaves or parsley, a couple of cloves of garlic, a squueze of lemon and some chopped chillies.

Re: eggplant
We used to cut them into rounds and roast them with meat sauce on top and topped with mozarella cheese. (Kind of like eggplant parmesan.) We would call them mini pizzas and the kids loved them. The name eggplant seems to scare kids off. Sadie is right ablut them being cooked really well. Hope that helps.

The NFL has made this position very very different then it once was and very hard to play. The last line of defense was always a spot where you could would and should remove a player from the ball by laying him out. The defenseless receiver rule has almost made this impossible. A safety now has to wait till a guy makes a football move before hitting him, an almost impossible decision to make in the heat of the moment. Therefore the spot is now really not a place for guys who lay the wood anymore. Its better for the ballhawks with great speed who can protect the backend with sideline to sideline speed excellent ball skills, great football awareness, and tackler.
I think KP fits the mold but the degenerative knee is an issue. Hill can lay the wood, be interesting to see how he does in deep coverage which he didnt see much of this year. saw a bit of nickel (mayb15 snaps) and can play around the box, definitely has value. Brown can ball hawk but did give up the back end a few times and Rolle is better around LOS.
It may be time to draft a kid who can be a center fielder while the other guys hunt for the ball and play the LOS and run.

Next Gun?
What do you think I should pick up for my next gun? I have a small collection (40XDSC, 10/22, 20 ga) and am slowly expanding it. Here are my current options I'm weighting (In no particular order):
1) Rock Island Arms 1911 (Hard Chromed) + .22lr conversion kit down the road (Kills two birds with one stone) $380ish + conversion kit
2) Hi-Point 9mm Pistol (Just something to plink with) $150ish
3) Hi-Point 9mm Carbine (Plinking, maybe some Coyote hunting this winter?) $200ish
4) Browning Buckmark .22lr or Ruger 22/45 .22lr $???
5) Yugo 59/66 SKS + 500 rounds of ammo = $185
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Right now I'm leaning more towards the 1911, 9mm Carbine, or SKS...I figure your input and comments on the above guns will help

while it is something not to be proud of. He just got caught.
How many racial slurs go on every day at camp I bet. From all races to the other not just one way.
They, the FO of Philly, handled it well as did Cooper.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Honestly, how many instances of that racial slur happened in the prince ice bath video?
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Its the way things are. I dont agree with what Cooper said but I dont think its as big of a deal as some may. In thias day and age these words/slurs get bandied about with regularity. All over the entertainment industry for example.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Unquestionably an offensive and ignorant statement, but I'm not sure that a team should be fining players for off-the-field, non-football statements, no matter how bigoted or ignorant. Seems like a slippery slope . . . .
Perhaps Cooper's remarks are a sign of the times. I'm starting to believe that America is really getting tired of it all and it is building up. Racists remarks, white to other, is a one way street of apologies after apology and being labeled, yet one minority group can racially slur another minority group and it goes unnoticed. But, that's our media. I don't approve of racism and I don't approve of racial slurs. Will Cooper be ostracized like Paula Dean? Will his contract be annulled? No! He's an athlete, athletes with value don't get replaced or fired. Fans, I'm sure, in other stadiums will let him know and the announcers will bring his remarks up on every broadcast of every game the Eagles play in from now until he's replaced in the lineup when Maclin returns. Cooper has learned not only to not drink and drive but learned the hard way not to drink and talk at the same time. Wonder when this thread gets moved?

He is still my #2 QB behind Bridgewater. I knew Mariota would be hyped though. He has all the tools. I would wait though until he faces a good defense. Lets see what he can manage vs Stanford.

In the early morning hours of September 18, 2010 Jennifer Vaughn Bates (Jenny) was horrifically murdered by her husband with a gunshot to her head after she began separation proceedings. Her loss, and the circumstances surrounding her death, shocked all who knew her and left an unimaginable void in our lives. It was an event that spiraled many of us into a world of sadness and depression. Jenny always brought the sunshine to everyone's lives and the thought of her not being here for her friends and family (particularly her two young sons) was more than most of us could handle alone.
Jenny had several groups of friends. There were her childhood friends, her extended family, her college buddies and her Prince William County colleagues. Through the grieving process all of these groups came together to support Jenny's family and each other, trying to find some kind of peace and make sure that Jenny's legacy lived on. This is how "No Woman, No Cry" was born.
We are a group of women from different parts of Jenny's life that want to make sure that her tragic and untimely death was not in vain. We know that Jenny would want something positive to come out of her plight. She would want her story told to hopefully prevent even one person from becoming another victim of domestic violence. She would want us to support organizations that help people (as she did in life) and most of all to provide a stable future for her two sons.
It is in this spirit that the "No Woman, No Cry 5K " was created.
We hope that you will join us in this very empowering event and "Stop the Silence of Domestic Violence"!
