Not as blue as I thought they would be. I can see the difference from the regular ones, though. Anyway, 4 bulbs for about $24 was a good deal.

Too early to give a long term review but my first reaction, I'm impressed with the initial brightness. Hopefully they last longer than HID. For a 2012 VW jetta GLI, a retrofit will be needed, no ballast needed. The igniter fits in the headlamp. I definitely would rate it good for now.

Hi everybody,
is anyone familiar with honey candy (the one we eat, not the one used in feeding bees) ? I heard of a producer of honey candy who bought a batch of partially cristallized honey from a beekeeper, and who made honey candies out of it. About 3 weeks later, all his candies began to turn whitish and dryish, like white sugar, and the taste was changing too.
He bought another batch of honey from another beekeeper and there was no problem this time. He always use the same reciepe, and never changes the baking temperatures, etc.
What do you think of it ? Do you know if some variety of honey isn't good for honey candy ? I am puzzled ...

Sustainability: Lighting system cuts energy consumption for Clover Hill Foods
Clover Hill Foods installs an intelligent LED system to reduce lighting energy use by 91% and overall energy use by 32%.

Latest ResourceCross Border 2017: Managing Your Supply Chain for Efficient and Secure Crossings Thursday, June 8, 2017 | 2pm ET
All Resources
Clover Hill Foods is a food distribution business with an appetite for high quality and customer service. Started in 1973 as an egg and dairy distributor, today the company supports 1,200 supermarkets, bakeries, grocery stores and other food service operations in nine states on the East Coast. Its 73,000-square-foot headquarters in Bridgeville, Pa., stores a broad selection of meats, cheeses, dairy products and other items to fill customer orders.
One of the company's ongoing challenges has been managing energy costs. So, it began an in-depth analysis of opportunities to control energy use. They identified lighting, which represented 35% of the company's annual energy bill, as an area that could provide significant savings.
Upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting could reduce lighting energy use, while also improving light levels for operators. The team compared the performance, expected lifetimes, warranties and total cost of ownership of LED alternatives and selected a new intelligent LED lighting solution (Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System, http://www.digitallumens.com) as a replacement for all of their legacy lighting fixtures.
"The lighting upgrade has reduced our lighting energy use by 91% and also improved light levels," says Gerry Hickly, CFO of Clover Hill Foods. "Because the system reports on all lighting performance metrics—kWh use and occupancy—we have complete visibility into how and where lighting is being used and exactly how much it costs."
Unlike traditional lights, which have only on/off settings, the new system has integrated motion sensors that react when an operator is in the area and provide light only when needed. When no one is in the area, the lights automatically turn off, or down, to minimize energy use. As a result, now each light at Clover Hill's facility is on about 25% of the time, saving a significant amount of energy. The new 160W fixtures also minimize the amount of heat generated, which reduces the burden on the facility's chiller system.
Pleased with the performance and new levels of control that the new lighting system offers, Hickly says, "We can now modify settings over time to maximize operator safety, while reducing energy use."

A startup, who wishes to remain anonymous, is delivering an innovative new business service from an IaaS cloud and most of the time pays next to nothing to do this. This isn't a story about pennies per virtual server per hour - sure they take advantage of that- but more a nuance of cloud optimization any enterprise can follow: reverse capacity planning.
Most of us are familiar with the black art of capacity planning. You take an application, simulate load against it, trying to approximate the amount of traffic it will face in production, then provision the resources to accommodate this load. With web applications we tend to capacity plan against expected peak, which is very hard to estimate - even if historical data exists. You capacity plan to peak because you don't want to be overloaded and cause the client to wait, error out, or go to your competition for your service.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torklakson will formally return local governance Monday to the Vallejo school board.
The Vallejo City Unified School District board was stripped of its powers in 2004 when a financial scandal and mounting debt forced the trustees to ask for a $60 million state loan.
Richard Damelio was appointed as state administrator over five operational areas: personnel, community relations, student achievement, facilities and financial management.
In 2007, the state returned local control in the areas of personnel, community relations and student achievement. Control over facilities management was returned a year later.
That left the most important power -- that of fiscal management -- in the hands of the state administrator.
A state report released in December finally recommended those powers be returned to the board, ending Damelio's nearly nine-year tenure as the district's state administrator.
Damelio will leave the district at the end of April, after which a state trustee will be appointed.
Though the school board will regain its authority to set district policy, the trustee will retain veto power over any actions the board or superintendent takes that the trustee feels could damage the district's financial stability.
The trustee will remain in place until the entirety of the $60 million loan is repaid.
Monday's event will feature several dignitaries, including U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa; state Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis; county supervisors Erin Hannigan and Linda Seifert; county Superintendent Jay Speck and Vallejo Mayor Osby Davis.
The special meeting begins at 5 p.m. Monday at the district offices, 665 Walnut Ave. on Mare Island. The public is welcome to attend.

If that is true about General Mattis being removed from his command than I'm truly troubled. For one I would follow that man to hell doused in gasoline with a stick of TNT up my a**. Also he is truly a leader who can give 2 sh*ts less about the political atmosphere because he understands his job is to lead Marines.
Commanders who are willing need troops who are willing and good luck finding a sizeable amount of those. Troops occupying a city, town, county, etc... And firing on Americans is a violation of the 3rd Amendment of the Constitution we swear to uphold and defend.

Watching the Senate Armed Services and the Foreign Relations Committees question Iraq proconsul General David Petraeus about the status of the war was a disturbing, almost embarrassing, experience.
It was as if the unspoken but acrid truth that this war was a huge mistake and a terrible waste had so permeated every crevice of Capitol Hill that the air in the hearing room was noxious with futility.
The so-called surge on which Petraeus reported has been a narrowly defined success. Casualties among American troops and Iraqi civilians are down since January 2007, when the surge was announced, as are insurgent attacks. The seizure of weapons has dramatically increased.
But when all the bodies are counted, the level of violence continues at a pitch that was anxiety-provoking two years ago. Within the context of a conflict that has lasted longer than World War II, that must be as sobering to hawks as it is depressing to doves.
During the first of two day-long hearings, the anti-war senators were careful to reaffirm their solicitude for American troops. The pro-war senators were cautious not to challenge the underlying rational for President Bush's adventure. Nuance was all.
Given that Bush has guaranteed the war will continue more or less as it has well into the first year or two of a new presidency, the Petraeus hearings made for a hollow exercise in accountability.
The three presidential candidates provided what drama there was. They temporarily quit the campaign tour to return to their day jobs, as if to audition for the job of commander in chief. They played in character.
John McCain exhibited a flash of lucidity when he referred to past incompetence by this administration. But he neutralized his affect with one of his increasingly occurring senior moments, once again confusing the Sunni with the Shia — or was it the Shia with the Sunni? Never mind.
Hillary Clinton was solid and, well, competent. Clinton's observation that Petraeus's cautious, guarded, and almost defensive report of progress required a "willful suspension of disbelief" was the closest to confrontation that the day came.
Within the narrow range the candidates allowed themselves, Barack Obama provided the shock of recognition. Obama's exchange with Petraeus crystallized the futility that is Iraq. Obama talked about the "endpoint" and asked how America could define "success," which, in the managerial idiom of the modern military, is what was once known as victory.
Neither Petraeus nor his diplomatic sidekick, Ambassador Ryan Crocker, could provide a soothing, let alone acceptable, answer.
Even under different circumstances, the concept of victory in a limited war such as Iraq would be elusive; the realities of time and place resist (perhaps subvert) popular conceptions of even tragic heroism.
The United States, for all its power and might, is a captive nation, a prisoner of a weak and unreliable Iraqi government and unpredictable Iraqi insurgents.
Those insurgents, of course, not only oppose the central government, but constitute warring factions in a once-boiling civil war that has now been reduced to a constant simmer, subject to occasional flare-ups.
America is a caught in a quagmire. That sinkhole is a physical reality for US troops in Iraq who live with it day after punishing day.

Suspect arrested in toddler-involved triple shooting
Police: Victim of shooting harbored suspect
DOVER, DELAWARE - Police have arrested a man who allegedly shot his sister, her 1-year-old son, and a teen in Martin County in late January.
Taylor Sherrod Everett, 18, of West Main St. in Williamston, was arrested in Dover, Delaware on March 28. The suspect's sister and victim of the shooting, 27-year-old Charisma Smith, was harboring him at her Dover home, investigators said.
According to Williamston Police, Everett shot Smith and her 1-year-old son, Thomas, on Jan. 29, as the mother was carrying her child down North Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Williamston.
"[Thomas] was shot between the fingers, and [Charisma] was shot in the chest," said Thomas Godard, the child's grandfather. "I just don't know what this little town is coming to."
The toddler was treated and released from a hospital, police said.
Another person, 17-year-old Treante Howard, was also shot that night. His condition was not released.
Godard said he believed Howard was the target; Charisma and her son were simply caught in the violence.
Everett is being held without bond by the Dover Police Department pending extradition back to North Carolina, where he faces three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
Charisma Smith and Roshanda Smith were also arrested and charged with felony hindering prosecution, for allegedly harboring the suspect.

Getting my first bees soon (2 packages) and installing them into a couple top-bar hives I built.
I've been reading lots and I think I'm pretty set, but I just have a couple questions I want to clear up:
1) Entrance hole - seems like the simplest entrance is just a hole. Is a single 1" hole in the end of the hive enough to start out with? Does it need to be bigger? any reason I really need to cut a slot out?
2) Feeding - I plan on feeding with a home-made boardman style feeder built in behind the follower, is a 1:1 syrup the right thing to feed a new package? I've read to feed them until you start seeing capped stores, is that reasonable?
3) Queen release - I know there's a lot of opinions on this, but I'd be happy to hear some more. Mr. Bush if I recall recommends a direct release, I've also read that a normal release (i.e. letting them eat the plug out), but just setting the cage on the bottom of the hive instead of hanging it can work well.
4) What should I do if the bees start building cross-comb right off the bat (right off the bar? )? Just pull it down until they do it my way? Try to re-orient it somehow? My bars are wedge style with a 35 degree ish wedge.
5) I've heard I don't really need to smoke them when installing them since they'll be pretty docile from the move. Thoughts?
6) Anything else I should know/do/watch out for?
Thanks! I'm pumped!

Binghamton University Bridging the Digital Divide participants receive computers
BINGHAMTON, NY – As a result of a program currently being offered by Binghamton University's Center for Civic Engagement, 15 community residents will be provided with computers at noon, Friday, Nov. 22. This event will be held at the Broome County Urban League located on Carroll Street, Binghamton. Residents who complete a computer literacy course through the Binghamton University Bridging the Digital Divide Program (BDDP) are eligible to receive the loaned computers, as well as those who have completed courses through the SUNY ATTAIN Lab, a close partner of the Broome County Urban League.
The Binghamton University Bridging the Digital Divide Program (BDDP) provides free computer literacy instruction and refurbished computer loans to residents of Broome County. The program is administered by the Binghamton University Center for Civic Engagement and partners with a number of local organizations and businesses to meet its goal of increasing community access to information technology.
BDDP receives used computers from their partner, Geodis Supply Chain Optimisation, and has been working closely with John Yesensky, State e-Recycling Program and New Business Development Manager since 2012. Computers provided by Geodis are refurbished at Binghamton University by student volunteers under the supervision of community volunteer Jack Rappaport.
The Director of the Center for Civic Engagement, Allison Alden, explains, "We are fortunate to work with such dedicated partners to meet the mission of the BDDP. The program is largely driven by our talented students who try so hard to make a difference in our community."
The Digital Divide can be defined as the gulf between those who have ready access to information technology and the Internet, and those who do not.
The Bridging the Digital Divide Program was established four years ago to address this growing need in our community. Cumulative program outcomes are: 262 volunteers, 8,024 hours of service, 137 computers loaned to community members, and 19,000 pounds of electronics collected and refurbished/recycled.
For more information, contact Samantha Eilenberg at (607) 777-2536.

This is a Food Pantry update to everyone in Cynthiana and Harrison County.
The Pantry has been doing well this spring and summer with the kindness of many of our churches and individuals that have shared with us money and food. Many have shared fresh vegetables from their gardens and this has really helped and the people really appreciated them.
This past spring, the Recreation Department Board saw fit to remove the skate park from its River Road location - accusing skaters of breaking rules like dress code, littering and foul language. Although the city ordered a new location be found, still no skate park can be found in Cynthiana. I see we got a new picnic/deck area built at the River Road Park. Maybe that frivolous project could have been delayed a while in order to provide a place for dozens of kids in this town to get the exercise they need.
On Tuesday, Aug. 11, another year of school will begin. Everyone needs to remember to stop when they see a school bus on the streets of Cynthiana and the roads of Harrison County picking up or dropping off our children. Every year the Cynthiana Police Department and the Harrison County Sheriff's Department receive complaints of motorists passing school buses while the bus' lights are flashing and the arms on the front of the buses are extended out.

Fifteen noted authors including Kentucky's Poet Laureate, Gurney Norman will open the two-day Inaugural Writers Workshop with a gala evening Sept. 18 at The Prizing House, compliments of the Becker Law Firm.
We have all heard people say that we must get business and industry to Cynthiana. We have heard it many times. While this is certainly true, every time I hear or read the comments about Cynthiana and the need for new business, I am reminded of the story of the great professional tennis player who was involved in a terrible car accident.
I'm sitting on a couch in Hershey, Penn., with my sister, my daughter and my granddaughter, watching the Food Network and thinking, "How weird is this?"
We're here on a partial family vacation since only part of our family is here. My sister flew in from California and my daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law drove up from Virginia. My husband and I flew up from Florida...
We've been planning this family vacation for nearly a year, which means we've had nearly a year to create expectations.
With the worsening economy, an increasing number of Kentuckians are being victimized by fraudulent unsolicited business offers commonly originating outside the United States. County Attorneys throughout Kentucky are reporting an upswing in this type of activity. In one case, an elderly victim was defrauded of $1.1 million by a Canadian source before the scam was discovered and stopped.
The most common of these scams begins with the receipt of an unsolicited cashiers' check in the mail.
The Harrison County Varsity Cheerleaders recently completed their annual athletic cheerleading calendar. It was a great success thanks to approximately 140 local and surrounding businesses. The generous support that our community continues to give the HCHS squad is greatly appreciated.

This is an open letter to Eve (last name unknown), the first woman created by God, wife of Adam.
Dear Eve,
What was it like?
What was it like to live in a perfect world, a garden paradise? Did you have a house, or did you and your husband sleep outdoors under the stars?
We all know that you cannot borrow your way out of debt. You cannot spend your way to a balanced budget. And you cannot gamble your way to prosperity. But our state House of Representatives tried to do all three in the June special session.
Meeting ostensibly because there was "a $1 billion shortfall" in the state budget, members of the House tried to spend an additional $1.3 billion for school buildings. Their plan was to borrow against all the money they would "earn" from gambling proceeds from the radical expansion of gambling.
When I was a new Christian, I knew two sisters. One attended the same church that I did. That church emphasized obedience and holiness. Do what God says and you will be rewarded for your effort.
Her sister went to a church that swung way the other direction. Her church's philosophy was, "Hey, the Bible says that where sin increases God's grace abounds, so let's revel in our sin!" Her house was a mess because, "Hey, God's grace shines through!"
I, too, don't understand the delay on the proposed recreation facility. A recreational facility would not only provide our community with increased recreational options, but job opportunities, revenue from natives and no doubt, visitors from other counties (the way Georgetown currently benefits!). Also, with obesity on the rise, it's a major benefit to have local access to modern adequate recreational facilities so people have greater opportunity to exercise while indulging in something fun.
A couple of weeks ago, I was called and asked by my friend to go to the Pythian Grove Cemetery in Berry. We both have family and friends buried there. She said something was wrong with the maintenance of the cemetery and that I needed to check it out.
On July 21, 2009, I received calls to observe the condition of Pythian Grove Cemetery in Berry. I came in on Lafferty Pike and couldn't see much wrong until I turned into the cemetery and my heart melted. I could not believe what I saw. I brought my camera to take pictures. In my view were weeds, milk weeds (one over six feet tall) and a view I have never seen before in this cemetery. As I went further, the weeds covered the names on the headstones, went over my ankles and some went over my knees. Why?
The July 2, 2009 issue of The Cynthiana Democrat had an interesting article about the 13 letters of intent from citizens interested in filling the recently vacated Commissioner of Public Utilities position.
I live in the county so I don't really have a "vote" on this issue, but on the other hand, I am concerned about Cynthiana growing and improving, so I wanted to offer some thoughts about the article.
We're on a mission. With the past year's successful events such as the Cynthiana Art Walk, our annual Autumn Afternoon, and Classic Movie Nights at the Rohs Opera House, the Cynthiana Arts Council is energized and gearing up for another great year. The council is dedicated to bring cultural experiences to Cynthiana through all mediums of art and we're looking to strengthen our success by recruiting new, active members.
The East Kentucky Power Cooperative plans to raise our electricity rates to build a new coal-burning power plant. They claim that demand for electricity will increase in the coming years, that the new plant will create jobs, and that their new plant will not add to our air pollution.
What EKPC won't tell you is that two recent studies clearly demonstrate that these claims are misleading or false.
Lately I've been hooked on watching "What Not to Wear" on TLC, hosted by style gurus Stacy London and Clinton Kelly.
How the show works: Friends and relatives nominate a chronically fashion-challenged friend who's ambushed by Stacy and Clinton who hand her a Visa card worth $5,000 with her name on it to spend on a new wardrobe in New York City.
What an evening we had in the much alive and vibrant downtown Cynthiana, Ky. last Friday evening! The area was clean.Shops were open. Music was in the air. Citizens and visitors were strolling the sidewalks, greeting each other with smiles and chatting. Why, it was just like the dream so many of us have for our city and county and had expressed in the Harrison County Tomorrow planning. And it was already happening!

Thank you for sharing the pics.
I like solids for the portability.
Dyptique recently launched Eau Duelle here in the UAE and invited my wife and I to the launch event. We could not make it but a couple of days after I was curious enough to pass by for a little testing and found that they had kept my "launch gift".
The packaging and finishing is superb. The little case it comes in is heavy. They also added a little suede pouch to transport it in (last pic). This is what I like about luxury brands, their attention to detail.
Here is the unboxing:

your welcome. i have yet to try the solid. I guess ill dab some one my wrists, pulse point on my neck and perhaps in the inner side of my elbows. Those warm spots should bring out the fragrance nicely.
Very nice buy, and very pretty! Thanks for sharing ^_^
I'm not your toy.
Eau Duelle is an excellent addition to Diptyque's line. Good score! And thanks for the pics. Quite a number of Tom Fords you got there...!
What a beautiful presentation. I love the Dyptique aesthetic. Thanks for the pics.
I'd like to see a lot of scents released in solid form. A lot of possibilities.
I think the most elegant solids are made by Boucheron (in womens's scents).
Elegant and clean as a cigarette case or a calling card case, tucked into a black velvet case:

Thanks everyone
diamondflame, there are 2 50ml Tuscan Leather, 1 Purple Patchouli and then the large bottle(?) is Tuscan Leather. Wife & I decided we like it enough to refrain from buying tiny expensive ones and get a large one instead haha.
Now I need a large Purple Patchouli!
Indie_guy, I have not gotten into solid perfumes yet. I would like to know the potential it has. good any ideas?
primrose, ill look into those as we have a Boucheron boutique here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Water sprite is very easy to grow, either in the planted form or floating. I do both in fact! I like to plant a few springs and when I am ready to trim them, I float the trimmings to add surface cover for my fish. If I want to plant more, I simply take the floater with the best root system and plant it.
I have a HOB/power filter and the current does not seem to bother the floating ws much. Mine grows well at approx. 1.8 WPG, with a not very efficient DIY CO2 (although it grew well with Excel also), and doses of Flourish and KNO3. My shrimp love it!
Good luck!
|The water sprite will repoduce on its own. It forms new plantlets on the margins of older and dying leaves. I prefer to float my water sprite, although it can also be planted. It should grow great if you float it, have relatively warm water (75+F) and plenty of nitrogen. H. difformis (wisteria), as as jgc mentioned, is a great plant also, but I would suggest using it in planted form. It will reproduce by side shoots, or you can also replant clippings. If you put a clump of java moss in the tank, make sure you spread it out, as lower sections are proned to die if they do not receive enough circulation.
|From what I understand, java moss can be used as a carpet plant in small tanks - Likewise I have seen war waged on a westeria (very simular to water sprite) to keep it pruned quite low. I have my westeria planted in filter sand w/o any problems - I also have it free floating in another tank (allong with nigas grass, I think) I is trying very hard to find something to root to in the second tank - but nothing is there. It is growing slowly, but growing (it is actually growing emergent, with is cool to me)
Water Sprite Questions
Hello, i am new to live plants in my tank, but would really like to start. I have a 2 - 10 gal tanks for guppies. I would like to get plants that i hear are very simple to grow, since i really don't want to do anything special just for the plants. So i hear Water Sprite and Java moss are pretty simple, which is good because i want them in my tanks for guppy fry to hide in. My first question is after buying one or however many Water sprite plants i buy, is there a way to multiply them? Also, if growing while just floating is a power filter current going to bother them? My last question would be, what would a very simple plant to grow that would carpet the bottom of my tank? Thanks for all the help!!

First, I suggest you contact the area gun ranges and clubs to see if they offer the NRA Basic Pistol Course. Ask them how much time they spend on the range firing a handgun (there is no NRA requirement for the minimum time allow - at our club they shoot hundreds of rounds on the range during the course). Also be aware there can be a wide price range for the NRA courses, as the price is up to each individual club or instructor.
Second, I would start with a quality .22 Long Rifle handgun. Being that you are new to handguns, you will need to practice a lot on using the proper form for it to become natural. You will eventually save the cost of the .22LR due to the price difference of the ammo. Even if reloading a centerfire, it is cheaper to fire a .22LR using bulk ammo. I still fire my .22LR's more than my centerfires. My .22LR's like Federal's copper plated value pack (550 rounds for about $20 to $25). A .22LR can be very picky, so you will need to find the brand/type of ammo that works best in your firearm. Generally, a copper plated, lead bullet works better than a lead bullet in a .22LR. A Ruger 22/45 (has the same angle grip as most 1911 models), Ruger Mark III, and Browning Buck Mark are three good quality .22LR semi-autos. The Ruger models can be difficult for some people to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning. I suggest NOT dry-firing any rimfire firearm.

Fancy a festive celebration with a difference? Kim Gillespie joins half a million superheroes, ghouls, wizards, Banes and Gandalfs in California for a Halloween to remember
You can tell Halloween is approaching when every eatery in California seems to be serving pumpkin dishes.
New Zealand has picked up on a few of the holiday's traditions, including a spot of trick or treating, but that's nothing next to the extent the US goes to town on it.
It's not just the pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin brulees - pumpkin specials on offer from breakfast to dessert - or even the doggy Halloween costumes on the well-pampered pets of Orange County. October 31 is just days away, and houses up and down the waterfront on Balboa Island at Newport Beach, Orange County, are decorated for the occasion.
A huge amount of work must have gone into each one, with skeletons, pumpkins, ghosts and giant spiders (a lot of giant spiders) adorning multimillion-dollar homes.
It's an amazing enough thing to see by day, but when we return at night the displays really come to life - from the glowing pumpkin lanterns along one of the jetties, to the flying and glowing ghosts on the rooftop rotary clothesline and the fantastic light displays.
Some of the locals tell us that by November 1 all the Halloween decorations will be gone, to be replaced by Thanksgiving and then Christmas-themed displays. It's a busy time of year for these folk, but they really seem to love what they do.
Less than an hour up the freeway we're in West Hollywood, where there's no mistaking which event is about to take place.
Fittingly for our Halloween visit, we're staying in what must be Sunset Boulevard's most bizarre hotel.
The Standard is anything but - even the sign out front is inverted.
From the floor-to-ceiling shag carpet in the lobby to the kitsch-but-cool colour schemes and furnishings, The Standard is as bizarre as quality hotels get.
There's a barber's, a bar and a diner off the lobby, and the rooms boast (very comfortable) platform beds, huge mirrors, an iHome for your iPhone or iPod, beanbags and a view over Los Angeles to die for.
Like many hotels, bars and restaurants in California, Wi-Fi is free and plentiful throughout, but The Standard also has a girl in a box. The most bizarre feature of this hotel is known as the Box Girl. She sits in the vitrine behind the reception desk between 8pm and midnight each night. I believe they call it installation art.
Strange, but stranger sights are to come.
It's October 31 and you can feel the buzz as West Hollywood tenses for its biggest night of the year - the Halloween Carnaval. Plenty of locals are already roaming the boulevards in costume (at least, I hope they're in costume).
After lunch at The Abbey - the official "Best Gay Bar in the World 2010", decorated with giant spiders, webs, demons and ghouls - we stroll down Santa Monica Boulevard, Route 66, the venue for tonight's festivities.
The street is empty; road blocks went up at noon. Shops are closed for Halloween. All there is to see are posses of sheriff's deputies gearing up for the big night and signs everywhere warning us "Don't eat the weenies". Eating fare from illegal street vendors can apparently make you very sick and, to be honest, eating sausages wrapped in bacon probably isn't the healthiest snack choice. But apparently they're delicious.
Our hosts have already provided us with a few costume items for the night ahead, but we're all keen to top up at Aahs!! novelty gift and party supply store on an iconic stretch of the Sunset Strip near the infamous Viper Room.
There are so many ghoulish options to choose from, but it's not all about the screams. In New Zealand our Halloween getup is more likely to be along a horror theme, but it seems Halloween Stateside is more like a giant Wellington Sevens event.
For example, one of my fellow travellers dressed as an Angry Bird for the occasion, another as a nerd.
I opt for a home-made costume, courtesy of the only white T-shirt I could find (Red Hot Chili Peppers), several fake blood capsules, a zombie mask and a plastic machete. The result - I even scare myself.
And when we hit Santa Monica Boulevard for the big party I attract more than my usual share of horrified stares.
Rihanna has just been crowned Queen of West Hollywood, half a million people are in a good mood, the music is pumping and the atmosphere is electric.
The crowd is a visual feast, one of the best things you'll ever see - there are so many fascinating and crazy costumes it's easy to lose yourself in the moment. One of the best is on our host - a female Freddy Krueger.
Some other of the more impressive costumes are inspired by The Lord of the Rings, but the most common theme seems to be Batman villains, with Bane in particular showing up all over the show.
One group of five each has a letter as a costume. I think at first they spell Dr Ink, which is a bit odd. It takes a few moments to realise they actually say "DRINK". But perhaps the most amazing aspect of the carnival is that you can put 500,000 people in a relatively confined space and there's no booze in sight and no sign of trouble or aggro.
The only thing that I see keeping the deputies busy is arresting weenie vendors.
And still, those weenies smell good as we pass another vendor on the walk back to the hotel after an exhilarating, sense-assaulting, push up Santa Monica through the exuberant masses.
Oh, what a night.
Did you know:
Newport Beach, pop. 86,000, in Orange County, CA, is one of the richest communities in the US and boasts the world's biggest small yacht harbour.
West Hollywood city, pop. 35,000, in Los Angeles County, is shaped like a handgun, and according to a 2002 study, 41 per cent of the city's population is made up of gay or bisexual men.
Getting there:
It's 12 hours there and 13 hours back on Air New Zealand, but that's nothing if sleep comes easy, especially if you travel in skycouch or spaceseat style. There's also a huge entertainment selection available. Air New Zealand offers daily return services to Los Angeles, with twice daily services available most days.

Where I stayed
Borders Books
As I was gathering my things I felt a twinge of pain shoot through my right groin. I dismissed it as nothing. I had a big day ahead. I would head toward Sault Saint Marie, Ontario today. Maybe even cross the border.
The river running through Woodstock, VT was only a few feet deep and had boulders diverting the current throughout. I figured I would find better kayaking ahead. I left Woodstock in search of the Canadian border.
I called my bank and made sure they cleared my cards for use in Canada
I noticed two missed calls from my daughter, Kaley, on my I Phone 4. A feeling of impending doom enveloped me. She hasn't left a message just to say hi in a long time and I doubted she was doing it now. I called her back and left a message. She got back to me and I could tell my initial feeling of impending doom was correct.
She had to go to court today about the fight we got into several months ago.
I had told her she couldn't go out and she was gonna do it anyway. Since I am the custodial parent and had enough disrespect from her lately, I made a stand. Kaley was gonna go against me and do as she liked. It turned into a big deal and her talking to all the crazy women in our lives. It turned into one of the embittered man haters calling the police and DCF (The Child Police) on me.
It was most likely one of my whacked out sisters, but it could have been one of many
This strategy by the anonymous caller backfired. When everything was explained, Kaley was the one in trouble. At 16 you can't legally go against your dad and lay hands on him, then run away.
She ignored the order to come in and write a statement, thus the court hearing. Now I had to save her from going to jail. She is my baby and I love her more than anything, but she does need to learn a few lessons. Isn't that what dads are for?
Kaley started telling me that I had to immediately write a lette,r and send it, and say this, and do that and on and on it went as if this was my emergency. I told her not to tell me what to say. I would handle it.
Then a strange voice got on the phone. It was Kaley's boyfriends, mother. That's right. She was an attorney, and she had enough of me not listening to Kaley. She was now gonna set me straight. She is divorced with 4 kids and very authoritative and an obvious man hater. Her ex won't speak to her, for obvious reasons. She started laying down the law to me and demanding that I do this and that and do it now
Kaley called me an asshole and told me to fuck off, then hung up.
Kaley's mom was there as well, they were all listening to our conversations, and immediately sent me a text saying they were all listening to me and I was the worst dad in the world and they all thought I was an asshole. Wow. This from the women that gave me full custody of Kaley 6 years ago because she couldn't handle it.
Some much for my peaceful little getaway.
I love my kid very much and she is smart, sweet and beautiful. She called me a short time later and apologized. The other women, I don't have such nice things to say about, so I shall stay quiet about them. I won't event get into my sisters who I believe were the ones that made the anonymous calls. I am surrounded by crazy chicks.
I am sure they have another story, but this is my blog
I will tell you guys a little secret. Outside of Kaley being disrespectful, all the other women I just laugh at. They think they are getting me mad but I find great pleasure and amusement by watching and listening to them spin out of control. It's better than a movie and sure is better than me getting upset about it.
I made a few calls and handled the emergencies for the moment, then headed toward Canada. It was a wondrous, cool, rainy day in the Vermont mountains. I headed past the Killington ski resort, the land formations bubbling up like multi colored ice cream scoops emanating from the ground. The crisp, wet air smacking me in the face. A good day to be alive. Those poor bastards in the south, schvitzing through record heat.
My phone rang and I saw it was my buddy Marc. "I got some bad news for you," he said. OK let me have it. "A huge branch from one of the oak trees, hanging over your house, just snapped over your roof. There are holes in your roof and structural damage. I will cover it the best I can," he told me.
It sure is good to have friends
Saratoga Springs was a great little horse track town in NY. Cool little mom and pop shops with a definite horse racing theme. I saw a Borders bookstore and pulled into their parking lot.
AARRGFGH!!!!! What the hell. I tried to walk and my groin muscle had tightened up badly. I could hardly walk.
Strike 3.
What a day. First the kid crisis, then the tree on my house, now my freaking groin.
I hobbled to the statue of a horse, looked at the horses ass and mad a quick video with a statement about how I felt. I knew I had to head home.
While writing this story, I met a sweet college girl named Mary Kate, whose shoulder I cried on for a few moments
I shall keep up my blog. Just need a few days to pontificate. I have lost 10 lbs of the 20 I have intended. I won't stop my FAN idea until it is complete. I will continue in Florida for a while, getting into some of the cool towns like Indialantic, Fl, Melbourne, Fl, Melbourne Beach, Fl, my beach condo, Tuckaway Shores in Indialantic etc.
Then I will head to my Canadian land in time for the leaves to change. Stand Bye for Action.

Console gaming has changed. In fact, one could make an easy case for flat out evolution. With gaming, gamers have evolved as well. Where once the stereotypical gamer was a fat pimple-faced kid in his mom's basement, hands covered in Cheetos dust and a two-liter of Mountain Dew with a straw nearby, the gamer is now de-evolving as gaming is evolving.
Gamers didn't always have a stereotype. They were normal kids, skinny kids, fat kids – whatever – just normal. There wasn't a stigma, there wasn't a stereotype. Then the really hardcore ones fell into a stereotype that they created. They became unhealthy and pale, shunning physical activity for sitting around gaming. I'm not making any judgments on that fact; I'm a gamer, but always had a healthy balance of gaming and physical activity. Even now, in my 30s, I game regularly – after I spend time at the gym.
So when I say de-evolution, I mean that the idea of gamers and their physical stereotypes are reverting to their earlier stage. Gaming has evolved, and through that evolution physical activity has re-entered the sphere of gamers and that will change everything.
So what exactly has changed in the past couple years to get gamers off the couch? (And for the purpose of this article, when I say gamers I'm referring to console gamers, as PC gamers are a whole different bunch and the tech I'm talking about doesn't apply to them at all at this point.) Well, the instruments of play have changed. With the innovative direction taken by the major console systems, gamers are getting active, and getting their families involved as well.

Stone Inspired Ltd
Stone Inspired Ltd is an award-winning Scottish garden landscaping company. We specialise in using traditional dry stone walling techniques in contemporary garden design and landscaping projects. Our raw material is locally sourced, either direct from quarries or from stone suppliers. We work closely with clients building a variety of dry stone walls and features including raised beds; steps and staircases; retaining walls; terraces; benches; boundary walls; arches and much much more! The stone we build with is an amazingly adaptable material that offers many benefits. These include design flexibility; strength; durability and beauty. It is eco-friendly product, requiring no mortar or cement to bond it. The techniques that we use are almost as ancient as the stone we build with! It does not require extensive foundations to build upon – usually literally straight off the ground is good enough. Dry stone walls are very long lasting and require very little maintenance. For our gardening clients, dry stone retaining walls are free-draining making them an excellent option over brick and block-work walls. They provide habitat for insects – bumble bees especially love the nooks that the stone-work provides. Many clients have used the spaces in the stones to plant hardy alpines – stone walls make for natural rockeries. Stone Inspired Ltd is based in the Lothians, but our work takes in a wide sweep through Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Lanarkshire, Perthshire and the Scottish Borders. We predominately work for private clients but have worked for East Lothian and Clackmannanshire councils as well as main contractors. No job is too small (or too big!) We are professional members of the Dry Stone Walling Association.

I can't answer your question, but I will follow this thread as I am interested in getting an older Sig and putting in the SRT system.
I have a Sig armorers DVD, but i haven't watched it yet. I'm wondering if any of you have replaced or installed a new trigger in a P239 or P226 series and how difficult was it? Any idiosyncrasies or things I might need to know before I begin?
I can't answer your question, but I will follow this thread as I am interested in getting an older Sig and putting in the SRT system.
If you figure it out, let us know about it. There's a 229 I know that needs a serious trigger job....
I would assume the DVD addresses that procedure. I read (can't remember where) that the Sigsauer factory is going to offer the SRT as an aftermarket update. I'll consider it for my 229.
I am new to sigs, I own a p226. What does SRT mean?
Short reset trigger. Interesting concept, but it's not available for my P220 SAO. The curve is designed a bit differently and doesn't end up going as forward to reset in essence as the regular stock trigger. I think this is mainly for the DA/SA models. My SAO will actually reset like my Glock pistols once you learn where it is and not to completely let go of the trigger. The SRT's are already available and from SIG as well as other suppliers. There is also a 'short trigger' for those with smaller hands. The trigger however will still need to travel as far forward as the stock in order to reset. SIG custom shop will do this for $99.95 http://www.sigsauer.com/CustomerServ...Price-List.pdf
Last edited by Ram Rod; 02-13-2008 at 05:05 PM.
I would watch the video first. I have replaced the original trigger for a short trigger on my new P229ST Elite, and also completely disassembled, cleaned, replaced a hammer spring, and reassembled a cherry P6 that I have. It is pretty straight-foreward.
I put a short trigger in my P229 DAK and it was pretty simple. I did a Google search and found a step by step instruction for changing it out.
The only problem I ran in to were the instructions said to remove the left handgrip to access and remove the trigger bar spring. Actually it is under the right handgrip if you are looking from the back of the pistol and left if you are looking down the barrel. A matter of perspective I guess.
Also I had a slight problem aligning the Locking Insert on to the Trigger Pivot Pin but once I got it in there I understood what they were referring to.
I didn't have any extra parts left either

Just how badly will Rupert Murdoch screw up the Wall Street Journal?
Ever since Murdoch's just-accepted $5 billion offer for Dow Jones, the Journal's parent company, became public this past May, this has been journalism's great burning question. Some predict, with a sort of anxious optimism, that the Journal's prestige will make Murdoch tread with relative delicacy. Others size up Murdoch's record with News Corporation, his sprawling media conglomerate, and offer a grimmer vision: the Journal will soon be a dumbed-down shell of its former self, a vanity vehicle that's used to advance Murdoch's own political and economic agenda and has all the journalistic integrity of Fox News, another News Corp. property.
As the tea-leaf readers parse Murdoch's record in newspapers, The Times of London and the New York Post have been getting most of the attention. This makes sense. Like the Journal, the Times has a long and prestigious history; like the Journal, the Post is based in New York and is familiar to American readers. But as the Project for Excellence in Journalism recently noted, Murdoch's history with American newspapers isn't restricted to New York. Among other things, the Bossy Aussie once owned the Boston Herald — and while that tabloid and the Journal are radically different beasts, Murdoch's Boston tenure may offer one or two clues about the Journal's future.
11th-hour saveMurdoch's purchase of the Herald — then called the Herald American — was an act of journalistic resurrection. On December 3, 1982, Murdoch reached an impasse with the union that represented the Herald American's mailers; the parking lot was barricaded, and workers cleared off their desks. (The dying paper's other employee unions had already made major concessions, including job cuts, to facilitate the sale from Hearst Corp. to Murdoch.) "I got the news about noontime that the negotiations had broken off and the paper had folded," says David Rosenbaum, then the Herald's assistant managing editor for features and now the editor of CIO magazine, a publication for IT executives. "We were officially out of work."
Rosenbaum promptly went to the Boston BusinessJournal to write a freelance story on the Herald's demise. He filed the piece and went home. Later that afternoon, Rosenbaum got a call: Murdoch and the mailers had a deal, the paper was alive, and he had work to do. He returned to the office. Just before 5 pm, Murdoch arrived in the newsroom, announced the sale, and shook hands with his new employees.
Soon thereafter, Rosenbaum continues, "the Murdoch editors arrived: Les Hinton [the new managing editor, an Australian who'd edited the Star, Murdoch's supermarket tabloid] and Joe Robinowitz [the new editor, a Texan who'd been assistant managing editor at the Post]. And they said, 'We're going to show you how to put out a tabloid.' "
Step One was changing the layout from four columns to seven — better for packing the pages with short, easy-to-read stories. Step Two was changing the paper's ethos, from the subdued tabloid style cultivated under Hearst to something more authentically Murdochian — edgy, sensationalistic, and shameless. "I remember Hinton saying to me, 'Every page should look like it's having a nervous breakdown,' " Rosenbaum recalls. "And that's what we did." (Case in point: a single page that had a political story, a piece on a fatal school-bus crash — and an item on Wingo!, the numbers game imported from Murdoch's Post.)

text: A speed bump on the cruise to studying for the ACE certification exam through hundreds of pages of text and information is bound to happen. Not everyone can breeze through all of the ACE study materials without hitting a bump or two. In fact, I'd bet money that most people experience an issue or two or more. I know I did. At times, the volume of material is overwhelming…and that's normal. For some, it will be easy to hit those speed bumps with a vengeance and continue cruising along, but for others, they will want or need help — live help that's not found in a textbook or study guide. At the American Council on Exercise (ACE), we understand that not everyone enjoys — or finds it effective — to learn out of a book at home. Luckily, we have a solution for those of you who want that live education aspect to help solidify the information. Through the ACE Educational Partnership Program, ACE is partnered with over 500 Colleges and Universities across the United States (and Canada) to bring you that live education. Below, I've listed some of the frequently asked questions that we field about this program and how it works. Q. What is the ACE Educational Partnership Program? ACE's Educational Partnership Program is a partnership that has been created between ACE and hundreds of Colleges and Universities around the United States. ACE has created a specific curriculum around each of its certifications (Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Health Coach, and Advanced Health & Fitness Specialist) and through this partnership schools can use ACE's curriculum and teach it to their students, their staff, and the general public. Q.What kinds of schools participate in the ACE Educational Partnership Program? There are several different 'types' of schools that participate in the program, ranging from high schools, Community Colleges, Careers & Technical Colleges, and four-year Universities. Assuming that they meet the requirements, ACE invites any and all higher education institutions to participate in the partnership program. Some of the most common participants are University Recreation facilities and Career & Technical schools. Q. How do I find a school near me that offers this program? That's easy – ACE has created a specific landing page for this program. Using this landing page, you can search by location, school type, and certification type. Q. How long is a typical ACE course through ACE Educational Partners? ACE gives our Educational Partners the ability to adapt our curriculum in a manner that works best for them. The course is designed to be one semester in length (roughly 15-16 weeks) and this time period is similar to what we recommend for our home-study program. Some institutions offer the course over one year (divided into two semesters) while others may offer the course over a 1-2 month period. Q. Do you have to be an enrolled student to participate in these courses? It really depends. As mentioned previously, ACE allows our Educational Partners to determine how they would like to operate their course. That being said, some choose to open their course to the public every semester whereas some are available to the enrolled student population only. Q. Is there a fee associated with these courses? Typically, yes. We empower the institution to set their price for their course. Based on what ACE has seen over the last year or two, the price is usually fair and affordable. The Educational Partner is not required to report their price-point to ACE therefore it would be best to contact the school near you to see what/if they charge for their course. Q. If they charge extra for the course, what's the advantage? The advantage is live education from an instructor who is required to have a Personal Trainer certification and a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science (or related field). The Personal Training course is designed to take you through the 4th Edition ACE Personal Trainer Manual (2-volume set with ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science text). If you are participating in an ACE Educational Partner's course, you may not be required to purchase a larger, more expensive home-study bundle. Depending on the cost of the live course, you may save some money in the long run. Q.How do I get in touch with the school near me? We encourage all of our educational partners to display their information on our website. Most partners will provide us with a phone number and a link to their (ACE) curriculum program page. This is a great way to, at least, get started. The rest is up to you, but we're happy to assist you if you have questions about reaching out to our partners. If you have any additional questions about the ACE Educational Partnership and how it works, or if you need assistance searching for an ACE partner in your area, please call our team of Education & Certification Consultants at 800-825-3636 ext. 782. ??

Reviews of this property
All very well
Todo muy bien
Accommodation in the city center, in a strategic position to reach the various important areas of this wonderful city, moving easily on foot. Accommodation clean and well equipped with all.
Alloggio in pieno centro della città, in posizione strategica per raggiungere le varie zone importanti di questa meravigliosa città, spostandosi tranquillamente anche a piedi. Alloggio pulito e ben fornito di tutto.
Our stay was a week in this apartment, been magnified, comidad one hundred percent is all aspects, convenient, comfortable, clean apartment, central heating ... (to give something missing a game over towels as for a week is just a little two towels)
If we return to Madrid definitely we repeat.
Nuestra estancia a sido de una semana en este apartamento, a sido magnifica,comidad al cien por cien es todos los aspectos, un apartamento bien situado,cómodo,limpio,calefacción central... ( por poner algo que faltaría un juego mas de toallas, ya que para una semana se que un poco justa dos toallas)
Si volvemos a Madrid sin duda alguna repetiremos.
We were very happy with our stay in Madrid. The keys worked perfectly. When handing over the keys we have learned that in the booked apartment a water damage has occurred, and we now need to so in another. However, this was not a problem but because it was only two streets away just as central as the first. In addition, we were allowed to in the ninth floor forward to a view of the city :-) The apartment was spacious and clean ... thanks a lot.
Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt in Madrid sehr zufrieden. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat problemlos funktioniert. Bei der Schlüsselübergabe haben wir erfahren,dass in dem gebuchten Appartment ein Wasserschaden entstanden ist und wir so nun in ein anderes müssten. Dies war allerdings kein Problem weil es nur zwei Straßen weiter aber genau so zentral wie das erste lag. Zudem durften wir uns in der neunten Etage über einen Blick über die Stadt freuen :-) Das Appartment war geräumig und sauber...viel dank.
we had a soprpesa not very pleasing because we had rented the apprtamento "SAFIRO" which was described in the ad 50sqm.
we found ourselves in the one next to it will be a maximum of 25 square meters and was completely dark because it faced a wall of a nearby house.
however, the interior was taken care of and was equipped with everything that had been described. If you use only for sleep or for a few hours is especially convenient for the location perfectly in the center.
Great location in the heart of Madrid. The apartment's interior, so no noise from the Gran Via which is 20 m is heard. Very clean throughout. Very attentive host.
Magnífica ubicación, en pleno centro de Madrid. El apartamento es interior, por lo que no se oye ningún ruido de la Gran Vía que se encuentra a 20 m. Muy limpio todo. El anfitrión muy atento.
We had a nice stay in Madrid. Centrally located apartment. Has everything you needed. Very recommendable!! Sometimes keen of hearing.
Central but not power, quiet, clean, a treat to spend several days in Madrid. Gravias for the timeliness, treatment and care.
Repeat, greetings from the south.
Centrico a mas no poder, silencioso, limpio, un lujazo para pasar varios dias en Madrid. Gravias por la puntualidad, trato, y atenciones.

GPEN Practice Exam
I tried the GPEN practice exam and scored 90%. I have been preparing for the exam since feb. I actually found the questions pretty easy.
How difficult is the actual exam compared to the practice exam.
I am giving myself 3 weeks of practice to brush up the topics that I found I am weak in. I hope this is enough.

I am attempting to save a colony that is the result of a Sept 10th swarm. The story goes..
Sept 10th the swarm, I had no idea that this was about to happen. I had all but stopped going in the hives. Anyway, they settled on a limb 80ft up on a gum tree. I brought them back to earth with a couple well placed shots from an AK-47. I gatherd up the bees and got them in a hive and thought it was all good.
Sept 11th the start of a nuc. I got the bright idea to capitalize on the swarm and use one of the 3 queen cells left behind to start a nuc. I used a frame from the hive that swarmed that had a queen cell and other brood or honey frames from other donor hives to make a 5 frame nuc.
I left every thing alone for about three weeks then went in to take a peek. What I found wasn't what I wanted. The nuc was queenless. The cell had hatched but I guess she didn't make it back from the mating flight. The hived swarm was worse than queenless, they had gone laying worker.
I decided to shake out the laying worker and then combine the nuc with the remainder. I transported the laying worker hive about 1/4 mile from the house and shook all the bees on the ground. When I got back I put the hive back in place. At dusk I did a news paper combine with the nuc and the forragers from the laying worker.
I still needed a queen. I was able to find a guy in North Carolina that still had a queen. Due to work, shipping and such I was unable to get the queen in the hive until Oct 16. Nine days later I released the queen and have left the colony alone until the day befor yesterday Nov 13th.
Nov 13th.. I found that the queen had been accepted but she has not started laying yet.
Now the question:I have a really strong hive with lots of stores and brood. Should I grab a frame of capped brood from them to supplement the aging bees in the "project" hive or should I see if they raise their own brood this late in the year? I live in the low country of South Carolina, 30mi from the coast. The weather today is kinda crappy but next week it's supposed to be in the upper sixtys and sunny. The bees are still bringing in pollen and a small amount of nectar from somewhere. I am in my first year and I want to do right thing for that queen. I would really like to use her bloodline to increase my hives. My Italian girls got eaten up with varroa mites this season to the point of deformmed wings. But that is another story.
Could some more experienced Beekeepers throw out some wisdom here. I know it's really late in the year for this kinda thing but I just had to try something.

Mannix to push lawmakers to adopt 'Castle Doctrine'
A former candidate for Oregon governor says homeowners should be allowed to shoot intruders as soon as they step foot inside their homes.
Kevin Mannix argues homeowners should be free to defend their property without worrying about prosecution or the threat of a lawsuit.
There are already laws treating a person's home "like a castle" in other states but not in Washington and Oregon. But there are efforts to bring what's called the "Castle Doctrine" to both states to protect homeowners, renters, and business owners who try to protect themselves or their family.
In October 2010, James Sartor was determined to get inside Roger Buzzetti's house.
"I opened the door and this guy came at me," Buzzetti said. "He's got that look in his eye that he wants to kill you. He grabbed (a large metal stand) and he came through the window swinging it at me. And I caught it with my left (hand)."
Sartor didn't stop until Buzzetti reached for a gun.
"I took the gun from my wife (Peggy) and shot him twice. I didn't aim to kill him, though."
Sartor survived, but the encounter took a toll.
"My wife, after it was over, if she came home, and I wasn't in the car with her, she would not get out of the car and go in the house," Buzzetti said.
The Buzzettis didn't have to worry about criminal prosecution. They were attacked. But Keith Cramer, of Sutherland, shot and killed a stranger he found sleeping on his couch. In 2009, he was sentenced to 19 months in prison.
The "Castle Doctrine" would change that, giving homeowners the right to use deadly force without being threatened, without trying to retreat.
"The minute that he broke our window, I guess that was what saved us from the fact that the intent was to come in and harm us," said Peggy Buzzetti.
The Buzzettis believe the law is tipped toward the intruder right now. They're hoping to tip it back.
"If you come up to my door and kick it in or you're breaking my windows, I think you have the right to shoot 'em. 100 percent," said Roger Buzzetti. "I don't think you should have to wait for him to make a move to kill you."
But they will have to wait.
Washington state senators have introduced a bill to put the "Castle Doctrine" into law there: It's stalled.
And in Oregon, a campaign to give voters the final say on the "Castle Doctrine" is out of cash and not moving forward.
Mannix says he'll continue to push lawmakers and hopes the Oregon Legislature takes up the "Castle Doctrine" debate in 2013.

Suzana Herculano-Houzel:
What is so special about the human brain?
The human brain is puzzling — it is curiously large given the size of our bodies, uses a tremendous amount of energy for its weight and has a bizarrely dense cerebral cortex. But: why? Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel puts on her detective's cap and leads us through this mystery. By making "brain soup," she arrives at a startling conclusion.

[quote user="Morehead State"]
[quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="DavenIII"][quote user="Kase-1"]UGH, you're really gonna bring this up again????
Whats your point, to show us that you shouldnt get your news from the 'Today Show'??
My point Kase, is that people like yourself need to wait a while before getting all worked up over something you heard on any of the main stream media channels ABC/Fox/NBC...yes, you are all worked up about this...it could turn out that Zimmerman was completely justified in this...we DON'T know.
[/quote]OK #1 we just started this up and you're already starting to get a little condescending. And we already spoke about this, I formed my opinion on what has been brought to light as FACTS and that has got me all worked up, not because its the 'cool' thing or because any other ridiculous reason you think
How could Zimmerman be justified!?!?! According to multiple reports there was no signs of a struggle, Zimmerman outweighed Martin by over 50lbs, was more than 10years older, and stalked and shot an unarmed teenage who was simply walking home from the store in the rain AFTER being told to stay put by the police
If he's proven innocent, then there is something wrong with the Florida justice system, Oh wait...... Casey Anthony anybody??
Kase...Every witness who either saw or heard has said that there WAS a struggle. The only question was who was the aggresser and was Zimmerman in a position where he was acting in self defense.

I personally believe he overreacted at best or committed murder at worst, but the facts are still not known. At least not to the public.

It also seems strange to me that even after all the uproar and changes in the command structure, there still isn't an arrest. I have no knowledge of course but it seems there might be claims made by witnesses that may support Zimmerman's position.
[/quote]The reports I read have shown that there was no signs of struggle on either Trayvons or Zimmermans part, no cuts, scratches, bruises, etc.
The question was who was the agressor, was it the unarmed teenager or the overzealous community member who was much larger than Martin?? Do you really think the 17yr old who was significantly smaller than Zimmerman was actually the agressor??? REALLY?!?!?!
The idea that there has been no arrest when all the evidence points to wrongful murder is what all the uproar is over, and dont kid yourself Florida has one of the WORST and most 1 sided justice systems in the USA

The best form of magnesium I've used so far. Not harsh on the stomach like the citrate variety. Doesn't make your bowel empty either! Great for reflux sufferers.
Great absorption

I really like this magnesium. It doesn't cause loose bowel movements even when I have taken three capsules per day. It's definitely the best I've had so far.

I take a lot of magnesium instead of drugs for depression and sleep. I do balance sometimes with calcium. It is more important to get the Mg/Ca balance right than simply push calcium tablets all the time. Too much calcium leads to psychiatric illnesses, sleep disorders etc. Magnesium will sort this out. These Mg caps seem to be well absorbed.

great magnesium
Posted by Reviewer1996189 on May 14, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I read on the web that almost everyone is deficient in magnesium and the symptoms of deficiency just goes on and on, however, most magnesium can give you diarrhea and stomach cramps, nothing this one! Chelated magnesium is the way to go, normally I take Solgar's chelated magnesium which works great, however, they are hard tablets and a bit large, so I prefer the Bluebonnet since they are capsules and much, much easier to swallow. Iherb has the best prices, and I love they give you free samples and free delivery when you only spend $40, most online companies you have to spend $100 or more. Thank you for having great products for very affordable prices!! D.S. NJ
Great For Sleep!

I have been taking magnesium to prevent migraine headaches. AND IT WORKS!! I was suffering 2-3 severe migraines a month and got instant relief with Magnesium. I've been taking this product for 5 weeks and only had 1 slight migraine. It is important to find a magnesium made with chelated technology so it is easy to digest and highly absorbable. There is no other magnesium to consider.

Well I hope you mo-fos are happy you do not have to work hard for your millions, because I am not
So many good teams basically layed an egg the first week. Now I am watching the week 2 NFL and Aaron Rogers cant even throw a TD pass. Cruz is dropping everything under the sun, the entire giants D is out of shape and gets gassed by the third quarter, I have to say that pre season was more exciting then a lot of these games.
Not only that, but even with the soft pre-season people are STILL starting the season hurt anyway. I hope by week 4 the NFL players are up to game speed so I can enjoy watching football.

Design, Build, Concoct, and Discover—55 creative experiments for curious kids!
Kids are natural tinkerers. They experiment, explore, test, and play—and learn a great deal in the process through problem-solving and hands-on experiments. From art making to simple robot building, magic potion testing, and nature exploration, this book is about creative experiments, in all fields, that help kids explore the world. Perfect for young children up to age six.
"I love Tinkerlab! This book is a glorious invitation for wonder and delight. The teacher in me respects the approach to creativity, process, and self-directed exploration. The mom in me is charmed by the easy-access of materials and projects. Fun! Fun! Fun!" —Lynn Brunelle, author of Pop Bottle Science
"I highly recommend Tinkerlab to any parent with young children! I read the book in one sitting (it was that well written) but know I will be referring back to it for years as I encourage my own daughters' tinkering, experimenting, and creative development." —Jean Van't Hul, author of The Artful Parent
"Being playful and creative is such a vital necessity in today's world! As an arts educator and parent of a curious four-year-old, I greatly value and embrace the 'tinkering mindset' at the core of Doorley's Tinkerlab. What an exceptional resource for all ages as we work to include more creative experiences and explorations in our lives." —Mike Murawski, founder and editor of ArtMuseumTeaching.com
Potion Station
Most kids are mesmerized by the process of pouring vinegar onto baking soda, watching it fizzle, and then sprinkling more baking soda on top to start all over again. Since that first introduction to vinegar and baking soda, know to many as the Volcano Experiment, we've recreated this and other similar mad scientist experiences more times than I can remember. There are lots of ways to make potions, and this experiment includes a few of our favorite ingredient combinations.
Watercolor Exploration
Watercolors are economical, easy to clean up, and dry quickly, making them one of my favorite art-making supplies.

OSWP - VPN Connection Question
I have a question regarding the Offensive Security Wireless Test. You are supposed to connect remotely to the test site and use a terminal to attack the routers. I've never done anything like this before (used to the multiple selection tests) and I wanted to see if anyone that has taken the test can clear some doubts:
When you log in do you actually open a terminal and see a BT machine and work from that or do you log in and open a putty terminal and work from that?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
