California, and much of the southwestern US, is in a severe drought. Again. And as appropriate, there is growing debate about what we, as citizens, communities, corporations, and governments should do to tackle water shortages and the bigger question of sustainable water policy. Suggestions range from the large-scale and comprehensive (build more dams, transfer more…

About the Show
It's time to break out the dancing silverware. The national tour of Beauty and the Beast begins performances in Ottawa on October 30. The Disney musical will play the National Arts Centre through November 4.
Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial French town, and the Beast, who is a young prince transformed by an enchantress as punishment for his insensitivity. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved in return, the curse will be lifted and he will be transformed to his former self. If not, he and his palace of servants will remain under the spell for eternity. The score features songs from the 1991 movie by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, with additional lyrics by Tim Rice.
The show, directed by Rob Roth, stars Hilary Maiberger as Belle, Darick Pead as the Beast, Matt Farcher as Gaston, Hassan Nazari-Robati as Lumiere, Erin Edelle and James May as Cogsworth.

An Admitted A.J. Smith Apologist
As the Chargers struggle to justify not at least offering long-term contracts to their two current holdouts, plenty of media outlets and fans are going to point the finger at the team's General Manager A.J. Smith. Some of that blame surely comes because of Smith's arrogant attitude with the media and his questionable negotiation tactics, but the fact of the matter is that Smith is an employee of the Chargers organization under no one's authority but team ownership. Dean Spanos and the Spanos family sign Smith's paycheck and they evidently feel that the GM is doing an extraordinary job. And why wouldn't they?
Smith took on the title of general manager after the late John Butler passed away in April of 2003 from his battle with lung cancer. After working his way up through the ranks as an NFL scout in the late seventies and throughout the eighties, Smith landed with the Buffalo Bills where he would begin a 14-year relationship with the team. He served as an area scout (1987-1988), their Assistant Director of College Scouting (1989-1992), and then became the Director of Pro Personnel (1993-2000). Smith's time in Buffalo came during the heyday of the franchise when the Bills notoriously reached four consecutive Super Bowls only to lose each of those contests to superior NFC opponents.
During his first season as GM with the Bolts, Smith was named Executive of the Year by CBS Sportsline.com after the team transformed from a 4-12 nightmare to a 12-4 Cinderella. That year was the resurrection of Drew Brees' career in San Diego and ultimately forced the Bolts to place the franchise tag on him even though they had just selected Philip Rivers in the 2004 NFL Draft after a controversial trade with the New York Giants. Smith's trade for Rivers acquired the picks from the Giants which would later be used to select linebacker Shawne Merriman and kicker Nate Kaeding (both Pro Bowlers). The incidents that followed the 2005 season would eventually begin the second guessing of Smith's management philosophies and provide the ammunition for those who question his priorities to this day.
After Brees suffered a torn labrum in the season finale of 2005, then Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer came under scrutiny for leaving Brees in the game. The chain of events that would follow included Brees being allowed to test the free agent market and eventually signing with the New Orleans Saints while the Bolts turned the reigns over to Rivers under center. After an outstanding first season by Rivers and company posting a 14-2 record, expectations were high as the number one seed in the AFC. The Bolts would be stunned in a Divisional round playoff loss to the New England Patriots after some passive coaching decisions by Schottenheimer. In a highly publicized spat, Smith and Marty starred one another down with the end result being Schottenheimer's pink slip in San Diego.
What does all of this controversy mean?
In short, Smith is a man with principals that are written in stone and if someone fails to conform to his way of thinking, the Bolt GM would rather move on without them than change his ideals. Call it stubborn, but Smith has found success in San Diego building a perrenial AFC West champion team and creating a core group of players that have another four or five years of upper level production ahead of them. That is what makes these holdouts so troubling being that they involve two of those draft pick gems that Smith has become noted for during his tenure with the team. Jackson was plucked late in round number two with the 61st overall selection in 2005 while McNeill was snagged just one year later in the second round with the 50th pick.
Not every general manager is capable of finding Pro Bowl caliber players in the latter half of round two on a yearly basis, but not every GM has the audacity to stare down holdouts from two of his premier offensive stars and not blink either. Smith is definitely one of a kind in the NFL and quite a trailblazer with his negotiation tactics, but the jury is still out on whether that is a good or bad thing for the sake of the franchise.
Let's hear from the fans, should Smith give in to the demands of both McNeill and Jackson or should he stand firm in the face of adversity? Which side will ultimately cave, the players or team management? Has Smith been an effective general manager or does the team need to look elsewhere if they want to reach the pinnacle and one day raise the Lombardi trophy? Pour on the comments below!

I don't Think we need them to get to the playoffs but it would be nice to have them if they are even in shape and sober.
These two "young proven players" have demonstrated their worth. If not for a cap year they have played out their contracts. Based on the numerous articles I've read it's not up to AJ. It's the cheapoo Spanos owner that is low balling our team out of contention. The lastest blast on VJ and Big Mac on Chargers.com by Spanos was just plain stupid. What message is he sending to potential free agents or players on the team? "Beware signing with Chargers cause we going to back stab you in the back and throw you under the bus with media." This all should have been handled in house. Instead, like little bitches they put it out to the media. I for one don't feel we have a team stronger a team as last year. Secondary looks very slow. It was a mistake to not keep Cromartie. Who am I? Just a loyal fan who has been watching Charger games since 2007 and reading every article that is printed. Chargers need to handle negociations in house instead of spreading all over the media. Pay and play these two gentalmen who have help you make millions. What do we get instead a lot of ???? mark's at left Tackel and receivers give me a break. Karma is a mother F%@ker (Thomas out, Butler injured etc.)and it's happening cause you are just wrong Spanos. Please watch intro to the Movie the Blind Side. A tree that doesn't bend will break. Most of all if it ain't broke don't fix it! And you wonder why attendance is down. Let me tell you who you need to pay...VJ and McNeal. I'm not buying another Jersey till you do assholes.
Lighting 72
These guys will get their money. That's for sure. As a player I would not put myself in harms way for an ungrateful organization. It's sad to see rookies making more money than proven players. Que paso con esto! I would like to see a pic of the guy who said he wonders if these guys are in shape and sober. They are professional probowlers.The Charger Management has spent more time money and energy trying to replace these two irreplaceable players. Didn't we make enough $$$ winning all those AFC titles?? Enough Said ... G O C H A R G E R S!
The Chargers cannot & will not be held hostage by s two players that care more about themselves than the team. They can make $3.5 Mil this year they don't it want fine/ The money goes back to the bank while they wait to sign someone who wants that money.
If we can replace the President of the United States, than anyone can be replaced. Just go ask your own Boss.

Lighting 72, u need to calm down. I been a Charger fan since the mid 60's. I played football in H.S. & College. U needs to think like a business man, to understand pro sports. This isn't a Pop Warner League. U won't remember J.J. a WR who was on his way to the H.O.F., but he wanted alot money. The Chargers at that time didn't re-do contract back than. So he was traded to the Vikings. The Chargers picked up Wes Chandler, and the rest is History. Lets just say Air Coryell never lost a beat. While J.J. , he never made to the H.O.F. What happen to all that money they gave only he knows.
Why do we view the players as being selfish? Because the teams use the players to cover their profits. We have to ask ourselves that question, when it comes to (player exposing). Nobody knows how much money I make at my job unless I put it in the news papers or broadcast it over television. Why don't we find out how much money the team makes. Then we would understand why they can't pay the Star Players that helped them generate greater ROI's. What if we could see the teams increase in revenues based on player performance,it would much easier for us as fans to make fair assessments on contract disputes. Also what's happen to giving the ones(FANS) that buy tickets and jerseys what they enjoy, the exception to being just an average NFL player. A J hasn't any respect for the game the way he views the players. If you don't respect what your building, that's a direct reflection of how you see yourself. No matter what you accomplish you will always be a loser. If the head is sick, then the whole body is, San Diego chargers are in trouble

My neighbor asked me to take his bee hive. I figured he meant a swarm. It's a hive hanging from a tree limb, about 20 or so feet up.
You can see comb from his roof, and can see a large mass from the ground.
Some comb had fallen on the ground under the tree and I was able to confirm larvae inside (black and rotting though, gross).
I advised him to wait until the rainy season when the wind and rain would drive the bees out. But he's scheduled a tree trimming next week. Any suggestions?

Writing a book
As I know that some other members at EH-Net would like to write a book too or at least thought about it, I thought I could start this thread to have everything together.
Are there any members who would like to write a book seriously and would like to work together or would be interested in some kind of co-authoring (e.g that I could contribute a few chapters)?
Are there any famous authors already lurking around at EH-Net?
I am in no hurry with this, just wanted to ask prior.

Very good and intensive communication, before, during and after stay, Appartment was very nice and we had a good week in London.
Isha was always in contact and offert all the help we needed.
I would recommend to stay there
Isha was a great host. Communicatoin with her via mail was awesome. Also the apartment was super nice .... enough space for us 5...and there were also some tube maps and tourisic brochures provided - thank you very much for that. We also loved the bed linen - they were very cosy, so we had a good rest every night. The area of the apartment was quite perfect - just a few minutes to the station...so we could be in the city center very quick.
I would definetly recommend Isha and the apartment for stay in London.
Thank you very much Isha, we really enjoyed our stay - all thes best :)
Very nice apartment near the Underground Station and near to the Tower of London. The owner of the apartment is also quiet friendly and helpful. The area around the apartment is a little bit dirty and loud in the night.
Nice apartment with very friendly host!!.
She gave good information and tips for restaurants as well that she brought a coffeemachine!
Close to metro and London central and great multiculti part in London to stay in.
Some more readinglight in bed- and livingroom is recommandable.
We had a great time in this well situated apartment near Shadwell. The apartment had sufficient room for the five of us and had all the facilities we required. The apartment was clean on arrival and bedlinnen was provided as agreed. Except for the shower that could have had a bit more power we really liked the place.
Great place in a great location, next to the city centre (tower bridge and the financial district). Isha is a gret host, she was worried about everything. The apartment is excellent!
A very warm welcome from Isha, received us when we arrived at the appartment.
The apparment is very bright and lovely in a great location for sightseeing in London. Thank you for everything.
Sehr netter Kontakt, die Kommunikation und Übergabe liefen reibungslos. Die Wohngegend ist multikulti und die Anbindung an Supermarkt und ÖPNV ist gut. Allerdings ist die Unterkunft in einem deutlich anderen Zustand als auf den scheinbar sehr alten Bildern gezeigt. Auch der Reinigungszustand, speziell in der Küche lässt zu wünschen übrig. Der Wasserkocher ist eine Tropfsteinhöhle und nicht erst vom letzten Besuch so geworden. Auch ist die Dunstabzugshaube gefühlt seit Jahren nicht mit Reinigungsmittel in Kontakt gekommen. Auch das Kochgeschirr ist sehr abgewohnt. Die Möbel haben in der Wohnstube Sperrmülloptik, man sollte nicht den dunklen Stoff vom weißen Sofa zur Seite rücken. Mit etwas Aufwand könnte aus der Wohnung eine tolle Unterkunft gemacht werden, wenn nicht alles so halbherzig hergerichtet wäre.
Die Wohnung ist groß, schön und sehr zentral, in einer multikulturellen Gegend gelegen. Der einzige kleine Nachteil war, dass wir zu fünft nicht in der Küche essen konnten. Wir haben uns aber sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt haben wir tolle Tage in London verbracht.
Isha es genial y muy servicial. Te lo faclita todo para que tengas una buena estancia
El apartamento está muy bien ubicado, es completo y muy cómodo.
Seguro que repito
Gracias Isha

Check out our comparison of these new small hatchbacks at http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/compact/0605_cool_small_cars/ With the Honda Civic and others growing larger and larger, a gap has opened up downmarket. Are these small hatchbacks-the Fit, the Caliber, the Versa, and the Rio5 cool? Will they give people a reason to feel like they're not buying a cheap new car simply because of their budget, but instead because that's the car they want?
the honda fit has got to be the coolest one of the bunch. i think the versa looks like a jnissan quest shrunken in the washing machine, the CVT is cool though. i don'te really like the styling of the Caliber. and the kia well its a kia.
well i would say that the versa is definitely the manliest of the imports with its 122 hp (at least 15 over all other small cars), but i don't really think the caliber is in the same class given its larger engine sizes and poorer fuel economy

Reviews for this host's other properties
We stayed 3 nights with Jeannie and Skate and had a great time, enjoying their hospitality and lovely house and garden. Facilities were excellent and they were very welcoming. The house is situated in a residential and cozy neighboorhood and we will definitely recommend them to anyone going to SF and not wanting to stay in a hotel.
Pretty house in the hills of San Francisco, well-placed for public transport. Very spacious and comfortable, the garden is truly magical. Decorating the house and the garden is amazing, the view over the city is great. Very quiet area. Very friendly and warm welcome from our hosts, it feels like home. We highly recommend this place to San Francisco. Cats are adorable and endearing.
Jolie maison sur les hauteurs de San Francisco, très bien placée par rapport aux transports publics. Chambre très spacieuse et confortable, le jardin est vraiment magique. La décoration de la maison et du jardin est extraordinaire, la vue sur la ville est grandiose. Quartier très calme. Accueil très sympathique et chaleureux de nos hôtes, on s'y sent comme chez soi. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse à San Francisco. Les chats sont adorables et attachants.
Super great!
The room was great, the aids were great (with bus and train into the city), the advice for the journey and all the more so. Unfortunately we were too short in attendance to enjoy the garden and the view over the city to the full extent. We can only recommend nights at Jeannie and skate. Always one more point than there are here!
Super klasse !
Das Zimmer war klasse , die Hilfen waren super (Mit Bus & Bahn in die Stadt) , Die Tipps für die Weiterreise und so alles mehr. Leider waren wir zu kurz anwesend , um auch den Garten und den Blick über die Stadt voll genießen zu können . Wir können Übernachtungen bei Jeannie und Skate nur empfehlen. Immer einen Punkt mehr als es hier gibt!
Bernal Heights is an oasis in the beautiful city of SF. Staying at Skate and Jeannie home is an experience we reccomand to everyone. We will never forget the beauty and the peace of the garden and the views of the city.
We spent 3 days with Skate and Jeanie. They were very welcoming and gave us lots of tips about how to get around and where to eat. Definitely recommend the sushi and Italian place near them!
The room was a good size, there were 3 of us. It was very clean on arrival and had everything we needed.
At first we felt like we were quite far away from things but everything is actually very accessible from their place and after a full day of tourist activities it was actually really lovely to feel a bit out the city and relax in their amazing garden which really has the most wonderful views!
Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Fran.
P.s we struggled with public transport at first but buy a clipper card from a metro station and it covers bus, metro and tram so you save lots of money! Bus goes right outside Jeanie and Skate's to the metro and its very regular.
We really had a wonderful stay at Jeannie & Skate's Magical Garden & house.
A very warm welcome when arriving, we felt at home right away. Jeannie & Skate
are very nice and warm hosts, providing all information you might need.
The evenings we could spend in the beautiful garden, with the one-billion-dollar
view will stay in our minds. Thank you Jeannie & Skate for sharing your place with us and thanks again for your tipp with concert in Golden Gate Park. When we come back, we would stay again at your place.
Amazing view, great garden, really sympathic hosts - we felt warmly welcome. The only "not perfect thing" was that the house is a bit "noisy" due to it's made of wood. Bus stop in front of the door makes Downtown easy to reach. Tripple A owerall rating... Thx
I stayed with Jeannie and Skate with my friend recently. They give a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Lovely folk, so helpful. Great location to transport. Bus just outside the door. Great views. Quiet and safe. I recommend their accommodation and will use again when I'm back to visit San Francisco . Tina
We enjoyed our stay with Jeannie and Skate, friendly and hospitable people. The view of the city is splendid. A big thank you.

Deep Breaths on the Big Island
Hawaii Island Retreat • Kapaau, HI
Escape Kit
- A Four-Night Stay for Two in an Ocean-View Room
- Lomi Lomi Massage for Two
- $25 Credit Toward Dining or Spa Services
The Destination
Want to see Mother Nature really strut her stuff? Go to Hawaii. Crystal-clear water, Ring of Fire sunsets, and jurassic-green landscapes are just another day in paradise here, and locals are fierce about protecting it. The chaise lounges on Hawaii's Big Island never disappoint, but the scenic and largely undeveloped North Kohala Coast makes a strong case for venturing beyond the beach chair. The arid western coastline yields to cooler, greener hills to the north, where former farming communities are populated with artists and faithfully preserved vestiges of old Hawaii.
The Digs
Mindful tranquility awaits at Hawaii Island Retreat, a luxury, eco-friendly boutique hotel, situated on 50 secluded acres near Kapaau on the North Kohala Coast. This serene seaside sanctuary (and three-time winner of the Fodor's Choice Award) runs entirely on solar energy. Ocean breezes keep rooms cool, reclaimed rainwater fills the pool, and nearly all of the produce you'll eat grew in an on-site garden. For a truly peaceful experience, partake in seaside strolls, lomi lomi massage at Maluhia Spa, and nightly stargazing—sans urban light pollution. Guests can opt to take a cooking class or just let the retreat's world-class chef whip up a Hawaiian-style feast.
"Here, sustainability meets luxury without sacrificing comfort. Set above the cliffs in North Kohala near Pololu Valley, Hawaii Island Retreat generates its own solar power, harnesses its own water, and grows almost all its own food."-- Read Fodor's Review of Hawaii Island Retreat

UTSA holiday safety tips: decorations, lights, candles
(Dec. 16, 2005)--It's that time of year again, and the holiday season calls for several reminders regarding safety at UTSA.
We all can help make this a safe holiday season.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Holiday safety tips
- If you decide to put up a real tree at home, be sure to keep it in a water stand and make sure it is sprayed with fire retardant.
- Wreathes and trees using real evergreens are not allowed on the UTSA campuses.
- If an artificial tree is set up, make sure it is made of fire-resistant material.
- Be sure all decorative lighting is made with UL-rated lights; all lights must be turned off at the end of the day.
- Electrical cords are not to pass under the door where they could get pinched and possibly short out. In all cases, electric extension cords are not acceptable; use only outlet strips with built-in surge protectors. Do not "gang" power strips (plugging one strip into another).
- Personal space heaters must have an automatic shut-off sensor switch in case it is turned over.
- Candles are not allowed at UTSA unless the wicks are removed. No lighted candles, please!
For more information on holiday decorations or other safety issues, contact the Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management at (210) 458-5250.

I'm reading that what Pettite said is a very poor excuse
They think it's the bunk he was using this stuff for just healing
I think he should of just kept quiet like everyone else
He gave more power to the dude that sang
I'm reading that what Pettite said is a very poor excuse

Being Pettite and Clemons are so close and one does what the other does do you guys think this will hurt Clemens denial?
Indirectly Clemens good friend hurt his plea of inocents
If he only used the HGH a couple of times several years ago then his explanation sounds reasonable that it was to help recover from an injury. And isn't there a difference in using something "artificial" to recover from an injury. Aren't many injury cures artificial. Isn't "Tommy John" surgery where a part of your body is taken and transplanted into your arm the most artificial thing you can do and yet nobody thinks that is cheating.
For most of these guys it doesn't matter whether they fess up or not. For guys that are on the HoF track this could be devastating. Take someone like Gary Sheffield who is not a media darling to start with. If he fessed up his HoF candidacy might go right in the toilet. Roger Clemens would take a major hit. He might still get in the HoF but his claim as one of the three best pitchers in history would go up in smoke.
Pettitte has a weak shot at the HoF so this probably won't hurt him that much. And I think most people bought his explanation. ESPN certainly did.
Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball
"After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggio
The 27 Time World Series Champions New York Yankees!
From what I have been told by people who know Andy Pettitte, his reason for using HGH is not only logical, but almost positively the absolute truth.
Brian Roberts also fessed up to his use also.
I think the Mitchell report is right on, but only the tip of the iceberg. remember, Mitchell got his info from just two people. there are many other suppliers, trainers, etc all over the country who have not come out of the closet. I think Clemens is as guilty as they come, and is making a fool of himself.
If anyone named in the report is innocent, all he need do is sue in court for defamation and slander. Lets see who sues. No one in my opinion.
As far as I can tell Andy Petite did not break any major league rules. He used HGH before it was banned. I do not see the need for his apology and understand his statement completely. Now as for Roger Clemens, he has been rumored to have taken steroids because of the longevity of his career and the stuff he has maintained. I believe that hard work and dedication to the game can help one maintain his arm for so long. If anything steroids breaks down one's arm long term for being more powerful in the short term. So I truthfully see no proof he has taken any illegal substance. ALso, the check the trainer gave could have been for anything. These people take care of many things for these players, buy stuff, take care of errands and pick up people from airport and stuff like that I believe the cheque was for something else and not performance enhancers. Unless proven guilty in the court of law, he remains innocent.
Tinyballer, innocent of what? He's not being charged with a crime.
You believe the check was for something else? What makes you believe this? Because the guy that recieved that check said it was for HGH or what have you, what do you have that refutes that? Hopes and dreams?
Exactly he has not been charged, but everyone is already talking about him like they are sure he has cheated so he is already tried in the court of public opinion even though it is not proven. These team manager people manage many things for these players and buy many things for this player like an errand man that check could very much have been for a gym equipment that CLemens wanted and the trainer prepaid for It could be for anything. The fact that guy needed stories and names to keep his ass out of jail is enough for me. Mitchell obviously wanted to hear big names and thats what this guy is giving. No one knowes what he and Clemens relationship is maybe he hates Clemens and wants to keep him out of the HOF.

Does anyone know if Brian McNamee was on trial for anything? Was there any situation whereby if he'd offered testimony against Roger Clemens, he'd get leniency on something else, but if he didn't, another charge could be brought against him.
If someone had in any way supplied steroids to professional ballplayers they'd coached, I sometimes wonder if they may be accused of something else.

Prettitte only tried to rehabilitate his injured elbow faster to get back to helping his tea. If he wished to abet his career he would be using illegal substances for a very long period. that he used for a long period has not bewen claime. He gave a solid valid reason for using, an apology was not neccessary in my opinion.
Right now Barry Bonds is looking at a serious legal mess because he was given an opportunity to come clean before a grand jury. He decided to deny the whole thing, essentially challenging them to prove it. Apparently they believe they can and thus he has been indicted. Realize that, like Clinton in 1998 and Scooter Libby this year, he isn't being grilled for what he did: it's for lying about it.
Pettitte coming clean, as it were, is more about the PR game. He knows he's guilty and issuing a public statement to the contrary would buy him some time, but if he were ever called before a court to repeat those words under oath he'd either have to risk a perjury charge or face the public after saying the exact opposite in a court of law. Obviously his legal council is telling him it's not worth the criminal record, so his agent or some other career/spiritual adviser has convinced him that a quick rip-the-band-aid-off approach is wisest. He has already tarnished his image, now it's all about the damage control.

The Boston Red Sox
Thanks. I guess that in Pettitte's case, we had a guy whom I figured was pretty clean. I'd heard about his (and Clemens') reportedly being accused of PED usage when they were both in Houston (2006, I think), but since Pettitte was much better known, and since I'm just another Yankee homer, I figured I could believe him the most.
Right now, I guess I'll begrudgingly give Andy Pettitte the benefit of the doubt as to whether or not he'd used this only to quickly heal his elbow, which has given him problems over the years. His left pitching elbow has been an issue for sometime, and I personally feel that it's past troubles was the real reason that Brian Cashman encouraged him to try the FA market, despite offering him arbitration after the 2003 season: he wasn't sure that he could last the entire 3 years effectively if given a contract.
This skepticism about Pettitte elbow seemed to have borne fruit, since in 2004, Andy only pitched 83.0 innings, after 208 in 2003.
If you say that McNamee has no reason to lie, then your educated & logical opinion will be respected by me. I just sometimes wonder what his reasoning for saying this, since I don't know whether or not the Mitchell investigation had even begun when I'd first heard the rumors around 2006. Despite this, I still wonder aloud if Mitchell had a grudge based upon however they'd parted (Brian McNamee from Pettitte & Clemens).
With Barry Bonds, to me, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Seeing how Jason Giambi became almost the #2 target amongst active players, he'd come clean, had his infamous "apology" press conference, despite not even declaring what he'd been apologizing about. Giambi's testimony was illegally leaked. If they're going to do this against someone who's a relatively small fish in a very big ocean, can you imagine what they'd have done if Barry Bonds said, "Yes, I did take steroids, HGH and some 'designer/undetectable drugs'"?
With Barry Bonds denying what he'd done, you likely wouldn't need Greg Anderson, his ex-trainer, whom Bonds had claimed gave him the supplements, which Bonds never checked the contents of, being in jail for so long until recently. Barry could've come clean, but then people would say that both his single-season & career HR records would've been tarnished.
Unlike Vince McMahon's WWE pro wrestling where it's not a matter of who is on steroids but who isn't, there would be some serious problems. McMahon had to stop calling the scripted thing he produces a "sport" and instead focused on the term "sports entertainment". For baseball to maintain its legitimacy, it can't have any of the PEDs, and obviously no scripts or predetermined outcomes.
Back off my soapbox and onto Andy Pettitte, I do hope that he truly did not take anything beyond that "twice in 2002" thing he'd admitted to, and nothing more than HGH, which I'm already not too enthused about in the least.
Roger Clemens, like Barry Bonds would obviously have been Cooperstown locks even w/o any PEDs, whether or not they'd used them. However, Andy Pettitte, despite a very slim chance of getting there w/o a bus ticket, has something even more valuable that's very dear to NY Yankee fans: his pride and dignity are at stake, and his willingness to tell us the truth is at the center of this. All I can ask for him is the truth, be it pretty or ugly.

Andy Petite does not owe an apology he did not break any rules. He simply took HGH before it was banned. Athletes use performance enhancers all the time they are just not allowed to use steroids and now and in 2005 HGH.

Movie Review: The Conspirator
Robin Wright stars in Robert Redford's historical courtroom drama about Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
Director: Robert Redford Rating: PG-13
Studio: American Film Company
The Conspirator is a well acted, stately, handsomely made historical courtroom drama directed by Robert Redford and adapted from a James Solomon screenplay. Its focus is Mary Surratt (Robin Wright), at whose boardinghouse John Wilkes Booth and other men—including her son (Johnny Simmons)—were accused of plotting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In the shock and outrage after the president's murder, Surratt, because her son cannot be located, gets rounded up, arrested and railroaded by a military tribunal ginned-up by the vengeance-minded Secretary of War (Kevin Kline), who is inclined to shred the Constitution while deliberately ignoring all facts unearthed by Surratt's initially-reluctant attorney (James McAvoy).
Sound familiar? With its stinging contemporary resonance and outrage over the government's willingness to stomp on civil liberties when it's politically expedient, The Conspirator could have packed a real emotional wallop, even to audiences who think they know a lot about the fascinating and quietly noble Surratt. The scenes of Lincoln's killing and its aftermath are especially well done, and McAvoy, Wright and Tom Wilkinson are as exceptional as Evan Rachel Wood is underused and Justin Long is jarringly contemporary. Though directed with intelligence, craft and obvious attention to historical detail, The Conspirator is good but just too reverent to hit us where we live.

Modern Love Podcast: Minnie Driver Reads 'Our Story Ended With a Slow Fade to Black'

A gallium scan is a test to look for swelling (inflammation), infection, or cancer in the body. It uses a radioactive material called gallium and is a type of nuclear medicine exam.
A related test is gallium scan of the lung.
Liver gallium scan; Bony gallium scan
You will get a radioactive material called gallium injected into your vein. The gallium travels through the bloodstream and collects in the bones and certain organs.
Your health care provider will tell you to return at a later time to be scanned. The scan will take place 6 - 24 hours after the gallium is injected. The test time depends on what condition your doctor is looking for.
You will lie on your back on the scanner table. A special camera detects where the gallium has gathered in the body.
You must lie still during the scan, which takes 30 - 60 minutes.
Stool in the bowel can interfere with the test. You may need to take a laxative the night before you have the test. Or, you may get an enema 1 - 2 hours before the test. You may eat and drink liquids normally.
You will need to sign a consent form. You will need to take off all jewelry and metal objects before the test.
You will feel a sharp prick when you get the injection. The site may be sore for a few minutes.
The hardest part of the scan is holding still. The scan itself is painless. The technician can help make you comfortable before the scan begins.
This test may be done to look for the cause of a fever. It is used most often to look for a cancer of the lymph system called lymphoma.
Gallium normally collects in bones, the liver, spleen, the large bowel, and breast tissue.
Gallium detected outside normal areas can be a sign of:
The test may be done to look for lung conditions such as:
There is a small risk of radiation exposure (less than with x-rays or CT scans). Pregnant or nursing women and young children should avoid radiation exposure if at all possible.
Not all cancers show up on a gallium scan.

I have noticed in the past once u get past the Top notch centers in the class most of the time they convert other lineman to the position.
I think the Giants go FA at Guard for at least 1 new starter possibly 2. I expect 1 will be a band aid 1 or 2 year deal while a guy like Anthony Steen gets drafted and groomed for the spot while the other will be a plug and play immediate starter like Jon Asomah of the Chiefs
Gabe Jackson vs LSU 2013 he is the LG
Jon Halapio RG and Jonotthan Harrison Center vs LSU 2013
You do not move when your locked on by Gabe Jackson. That guy is a stud!

Green Resource: Divide The Ride Web site
(April 21, 2008)--Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22 -- a great reminder that we can all find practical ways to reduce our daily carbon footprint on the environment by "going green" -- or looking for alternative ways to conserve ecologically and economically. Launched last fall, Divide The Ride is a free, secure online resource and carpooling tool for parents and families with tips on how to incorporate "green" options into everyday living.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

With the high cost of gasoline, a sluggish economy and dangerous greenhouse gases and pollutants produced by vehicles, economic and eco-friendly alternatives such as carpooling are a vital necessity. Divide The Ride users can sign up for an e-newsletter and keep abreast of the latest in green issues and tips for families, as well as healthy living and parenting.
Users can create carpool calendars based on their busy schedules and driving availability. At the site, you can keep track of how many miles you save in a year, how many rides you share and how many gallons of gallons you save.
After registering, participants in a group receive a carpool schedule and e-mail and text reminders, eliminating the time, effort and confusion that can go along with traditional carpool scheduling. A new feature is an interactive map showing all group participants and their proximity to an event to which they could carpool.

Saw this on youtube and I thought I would get your input.
Saw this on youtube and I thought I would get your input.
A really great video and a good way to quickly check hives for mites.
-Dan Williams
A more accurate method than sticky sheet/mite drops.
I do sugar shakes as well. I like using plastic jars. I have a habit of breaking the glass ones.
Good video.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Try the shake and then pour alcohol over the bees in the jar killing them and count how many mites you missed. I found sugar shake missed mites but maybe it misses consistently?
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
The process on the video is basically how I do mine. Although, I do shake harder than he did and my bees seemed to be no worse for the wear than those. I also got more of the sugar out of the jar than he did. Although, he may have seen enough mites to realize he was ocer the threshold and stopped shaking.
This procedure is designed to get a population estimate to make treatment decisions. Counting every last mite is not as important as getting consitent results with each sample.
I like it. It's important to do it over a period of time, measuring the difference in the counts and I'd put that veil on. Someday, he won't forget to do that!
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
That's how I normally check too. But, spraying the sugar with water to melt it is a new trick for me I like it.
How often will you guys do a sugar shake test?
Once a month is normally enough. You need to do it enough to get a good baseline then you can monitor the trend. Up or down. It is also a good idea to do counts before and after any kind of mite treatment to make sure your treatment worked. A lot of treatments are temperature dependent so doing a count after lets you know that the treatment worked like it was supposed to.
Enjoyed it! Have one small correction, though. He mentioned using Domino sugar, saying it had no cornstarch and that the cheap brands do have cornstarch and should be avoided. I have a box of Domino's sitting in my kitchen pantry and that label says it does, indeed, have cornstarch. It is a simple thing to dump a cup of sugar in your blender and make your own powdered sugar--and that way you KNOW there is no cornstarch in it.
Other than that, I found the video very straightforward and easy-to-follow and really helpful.
Rusty Hills Farm -- home of AQHA A Rusty Zipper and Rusty's Bees.
Just my opinion, but I've never found an issue using powdered sugar with cornstarch in it. Perhaps in great quantities but sometimes I think that we over worry about things. It's a sugar roll. In the sugar and out with a handful of bees. Even sugar treatments, which I do fairly often, don't get much consideration as far as cornstarch is concerned. I bet I lose more bees during a quick and unexpected downpour than I do after a season of treating with store bought confectioners sugar (where a season of treatment MIGHT be 6 times at most).
Just my .02 cents!
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
While the corn starch in powdered confectioners sugar doesn't hurt the bees, making your own from regular granulated sugar was found to be more effective. In the range of around 10% more effective. This information is available on Randy Oliver's site, "Scientific Beekeeping". A researcher used a small coffee grinder to make hi own powdered sugar and compared it to commercial confectioners sugar containing corn starch. Pure sugar was more effective. It should also be noted that humidity also plays a roll in how effective and accurate the test is. The higher the humidity, the less effective the test.

The BEST chicken!!
Dec 21, 2016 | By Sue
This was the cleanest, most tastiest, overall BEST chicken we have ever had! Plenty of meat to feed 2 people, 2 full dinners. I used the bones for home made broth... delicious! Wish I had ordered a few while they were available!!
Best Chicken I Ever Ate!
Oct 26, 2014 | By Judy Cantil
Love OP. Have ordered many times. The chicken is the best I ever ate and I've raised my own free range chickens.
Best Chicken I've Ever Had
Oct 5, 2014 | By Judy
Everything I've gotten from OP has been awesome. I've order $200+ at least 6 times and always shipped as stated and arrives frozen rock hard. The crumby meat at my local grocery is becoming more expensive then organic grass fed (OP - PLEASE don't raise rates because I said so). Recently even sent as a birthday present and friend was THRILLED!

Love this chicken!! I have ordered it several times and I'm never disappointed with it. I usually roast it with herbs and lemon, but it's delicious with just salt and pepper. Also good cooked in solar oven. YUM! Very tender and juicy.
The best there is!

The battery life myth

I found out kinda the hard way that no matter the rating on your battery, it's how you use your tablet that determines how well your battery functions. If you use your tablet day and night, your tablet will never fully charge, and eventually will only hold a minimum change. To rectify this, get Juice Defender and follow the directions. In the last 48 hours I've been able to reclaim a significant percentage of my battery life.

What I have noticed personally is that the products made quality and not quanity have a much larger battery life. As if your not only paying $500 for a iPad but also for a 10 hour battery. My Pandigital only cost $75 and its battery lasts about 4 or 5 hours max while I'm trying t play games or look things on the internet. I'm not sure where my Pandigital is made, most likely an Asian country, but I know that the battery life is kind of annoying at times.
That's true! About the iPad!! But it's also true that you didn't get on the iPad:

A great recent example of the importance of software integration in battery life is the update the nexus 7 is receiving now, which increases the battery life between 12-25% more (from 8 hours to 10 on the official specs page).
I think the Chinese tabs have great hardware, but the software lacks the development and integration that we find in "brand" products. This doesn't seem to be changing in the near future because we se Chinese manufacturers "randomly" changing soc's in every next line of tabs (from allwinner, to amlogic, later actions, to rockchip, omap, and so on). I think that if Chinese tab manufacturers stood up to a soc's line and get involved in at least the planning of that soc sharing the experiences they had with the last line, they would integrate better and easier the hardware and the software. They only need to do a better work developing business relationships.
Well, I've ended a little off topic... XD Sorry. XD

one can obviously go by the rated battery capacity -
and if all things were equal then the larger the capacity (obviously - if it's an honest rating) then the longer the battery life.
But as we know not everything is equal -
there are hardware differences -
some may be better designed to conserve battery life -
then there are also Apps that help that as well.
Then there is the actual usage - some apps/functions use more battery than others...
eg: I have have an older Android phone only 2.2 froyo - and a mere 1500mAh battery -
My last usage to 0% - was 11 days 9 hours -
so from that it would be tremendous battery life -
however that's simply because that phone is on standby most of the time, and I even put it into airplane mode when idle....
whereas for most people it is rated to last about a day's usage.

During 2013 the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is reviewing the local road funding system, the Funding Assistance Rate (FAR). This could have a significant impact on local roads' quality and the costs of district and city council rates.
The FAR is the percentage of the total cost of roading investment paid for by NZTA. It applies to the non-state highway, or local, portion of the roading network. The remainder is paid for by councils, usually through rates.
Given New Zealand's economic reliance on primary industry exports, poor roading investment decisions have serious implications.
Primary goods travel largely on the local road network to processors and ports. According to the NZTA, local and regional roads make up 88 per cent of New Zealand's total road length with 83,000km.
While roughly half the local roading network's costs come from NZTA, this is the average. Funding received by individual councils differs significantly.
For example, the base FAR for 2012/13, providing funding for maintenance, operation and renewal activities, contributes 88 per cent to roading costs on the Chatham Islands and 66 per cent for Kawerau District, but only 43 per cent to Auckland, Taupo and Tauranga and 44 per cent to Queenstown Lakes District's roads.
The key question for FAR's review is, does this represent a reasonable allocation of funding to the local roads in these areas? Federated Farmers thinks it falls short in two key ways. First is the key basis for the different FAR rates for each council, based on a territory's relative land value. Under this approach, districts with higher land values receive a lower FAR, on the presumption they can afford to cover the shortfall.
However, land value is not a good measure of a council's ability to pay.
More relevant factors could include the actual drivers for roading investment in each district, including the size of the local roading network, who uses the roads and the type of use, the type of roading, the contribution of roading to economic productivity and the number of residents.
The second way FAR fails is the contribution proportion it makes to local roads. The money allocated through FAR comes from road use revenue, fuel taxes, road user charges and licensing and registration fees. The Federation says these are better measures of road use and the relative benefits from roading than property value based rates.
Unfortunately, this latter concern will not be addressed in NZTA's FAR review.
It is a strategic, political decision outside NZTA's scope which the Government must address.

"I think there is very little chance the sequestration will be avoided before March 1," says Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition.
"These cuts won't provide the same sudden shock to the system that the tax increases during the fiscal cliff standoff would have caused. They will cause pain later, but not immediately. Both parties seem ready to take this to the brink and see what happens after March 1. Both sides are very comfortable with their talking points. They like them. They might even believe them, Bixby says.


text: So the Hellwig swaybars I ordered last week came in! Well, the front one did at least. So, being how I am (always excited for my next project) I immediately ripped into the box, pulled the parts out and rushed to get under the truck to install it! No problem yet, right? So in order to install the front sway bar, I needed to pull the stock one (that I didn't even know I had) off. First bolt pain in the -ss, but I got it off ok. Second bolt-stripped. Third bolt-part way off, then stripped. Fourth bolt-stripped. WD-40'd em, didnt do anything but drip in my eye. So...now I'm stuck there, because I don't have a good garage to work in (aka, no real lights, and lots of Hawaiian B-52 cockroaches :no: ) and its real dark out. Any advice on how to get these stripped bolts out? I'm thinking I might just have to take it to a shop and have them drill em out or something. Anyways, here are a few starting pics. BTW, this sway bar is SOLID, super heavy and clearly really well made. EDIT: Anyone think something like this would work? Threads arent stripped (I dont think), the heads on the bolts are just really rounded off). http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952166000P?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00952166000

This stew has a simple list of ingredients, but plenty of great flavor thanks to flank steak, a cut that's known for it's excellent meaty flavor. The flank is also known for it's long grainy, and sometimes tough texture. In this stew the texture is a great asset—the meat shreds apart into tasty strips after it's cooked in the slow cooker.

It usually takes about two or three weeks after we have a completed application to reach a decision about your Honors College admission; you will be notified of that decision directly by the Honors College. Honors admission closes on May 1--this means we need your complete application before that date.
If you are a transfer student, the process is different from the one used for new freshmen. You should contact the Honors College directly rather than submitting the online honors application. You may call 765-285-1024 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

So now that the " GOOD STUFF " the green syrup, 8% Perma B, or what ever we used to be able to get is now no longer what does one use for wood treatment?
I spent hours on the phone in the past few days looking for this stuff & I do not think there is any in the states to be had.
The chemical companies that used to make this stuff all tell that they could not afford to relicense this product & sell it at a profit.
I did find some 9.8% premixed & yes it was pricy.
