Pastor Dave Stone spoke on how to win the struggle with sin during Liberty University Convocation on Monday. Stone is the senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Ky., one of North America's largest churches with 21,000 in attendance weekly. He is also the author of seven books, including his Faithful Families series.
Stone asked students, "Will you decide today that you will no longer be held hostage by the guilt of sins that God has already forgiven, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead?"
He encouraged students to evaluate their struggle with sin and offered three main points: sin is enticing, avoid it; sin gets worse, so confess it; and Christ offers forgiveness, accept it.
"You are the only one who knows of the struggles and temptations that are lurking beneath the surface and under the water," Stone said. "But in your heart of hearts you have begun to dabble with things you could not control."
He showed a short video about Taylor Storch, a 13-year-old girl who died in a skiing accident. Her father and mother, Todd and Tara Storch, donated her organs. Patricia Winters, a 39-year-old wife and mother, received Taylor's heart in a transplant and is able to live a normal life again after suffering with a heart condition. The video showed the Storches meeting Winters for the first time and listening to Taylor's heart beat in her body.
Stone used the story of a heart transplant to demonstrate the power of the gospel.
"God specializes in taking our sins and making something beautiful out of our lives. He banishes our sins as far as the East is from the West. He rebuilds, He restores, He redeems," Stone said.
In addition to Stone's message, John Strohman, an attorney from South Dakota, spoke during Convocation about how Jesus pardons our sin. Strohman has been involved with Liberty for several years; two of his daughters are students and he led a mission trip with Liberty students this past summer.
Strohman encouraged students to repent of their sin, recognizing the importance of accepting God's grace. In addition to practicing law, Strohman has authored Application Commentary of the Gospel of Matthew.

Baidu's Search Share Still Falling, Stock Gains
After a strong start to the year, Baidu (BIDU) has been disappointing investors.
Since peaking at $109.84 on January 18, the stock has plunged 20% to $87.81. Baidu's shares have plummeted as it became clear that the company would have to sacrifice profit margins to maintain its market share in search and build up its mobile business.
Now we have some data to shed some light on how that's going. According to T.H. Capital's Tian X. Hou, Jack Yang and Gina Chen, China's Google hasn't been able to stem the decline in its search share. Baidu's market share dipped to 70.5% as of March 20, down from 71.5% at the end of last year. Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU), on the other hand has increased its share to 13.5%, from 10.4%.
But Baidu's page views and unique visitors have increased slightly, up 0.9% and 0.6% this quarter, respectively. That "traffic growth could be positive for revenue performance in 1Q13," the analysts say.
Baidu has gained 1.2% today to $88.10, while shares of Qihoo have dropped 1.7% to $29.48.

Story highlights
- More than $160 billion in orders by Gulf airlines agreed in first three hours
- Boeing and Airbus strike huge deals with region's big three -- Etihad, Emirates Qatar Airways
- Emirates signs $76B deal with Boeing for 150 of new wide-bodied 777X airliner
The biennial Dubai Airshow began Sunday with the Gulf region's major carriers announcing some of the biggest aviation deals in history.
There was as much speculation swirling around the size of the orders before the event as there was desert sand outside the nearby Al Maktoum airport.
However few predicted that $192.3 billion worth of deals for commercial jets (at list prices) would be announced on the first day -- a new record that has outstripped the orders from the entire 2007 airshow.
The region's three big players -- Etihad, Emirates and Qatar Airways -- announced orders for 393 new commercial planes. Boeing and Airbus shared the spoils, with high demand for the 777X, Boeing's next-generation version of the existing 777.
The Abu Dhabi based airline Etihad was the first to lay down a marker at the event: a $25.2B deal for 56 new wide-bodied Boeing aircraft, including 25 777X planes, 17 of the biggest 777-9X variants and eight of the 777-8X version.
"This order enables us to build upon our achievements, using the next generation of aircraft to support our next generation of development," said Etihad CEO James Hogan. "This order is for 2018 out to 2025/2030. The traffic is there."
Later Hogan trumped his Boeing order with an announcement for 87 Airbus jets worth $26.9B at list price, including 50 A350 aircraft, the twin-aisle competitor of the 777X currently in development.
The airline is also set to be the biggest operator of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with a new order for 30 of the new planes to add its current deal for 41 of the composite, medium to long-distance jets.
But it was Dubai's Emirates that revealed the largest order with a $76B deal for 150 Boeing 777X planes, plus an additional 50 Airbus A380s, worth $23 billion, to bring its order of the superjumbo up to 101. The airline currently operates 39 of the world's largest commercial jet.
Low-cost carrier FlyDubai committed to purchasing 111 Boeing 737 jets worth $11.4B.
Doha-based Qatar Airlines added to the impressive figures for Boeing's 777X with a $19B order for 50 of the aircraft. Lufthansa will be the forth "launch airline" to receive the new model jet when delivery begins from 2020 onwards. It has 34 on order.
The aircraft is the latest iteration of the company's 777 series and will be manufactured with all new composite material wings. With a wingspan of 71 meters, the 777-9X is greater than the 747-800.
"With around $100B worth of orders, this makes it the largest aviation product launch," said Boeing Chairman and CEO Jim McNeary. "We look forward to ... continuing to support Dubai's expansion into a global aviation hub."
Finding room for the new aircraft in Dubai should not be a problem as the Al-Maktoum airport is the city's second international hub and predicted to be the world's largest when completed. Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum was at the show and supportive of the new airport and mega deals.
"We cannot operate from one airport with all these planes," he told CNN's John Defterios after the Emirate's announcement.
"The passengers are growing so much and a lot of people are coming and going from here to America, to Europe and Asia. So Emirates has to be strong and so does FlyDubai."
Hogan predicts passenger numbers for Etihad to grow by 14% annually for the next five years, while Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Emirates' CEO, believes the numbers will come as more countries open up.
"We don't want anything below double digital growth in passenger numbers," he said. "Some countries may be scared (to open up their markets), but they really have to open up."

On Nov. 13, 2012, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 9:04 p.m. EST.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where Global Positioning System (GPS) and communications signals travel. This disrupts the radio signals for as long as the flare is ongoing, anywhere from minutes to hours.
This flare is classified as an M6 flare. M-class flares are the weakest flares that can still cause some space weather effects near Earth. They can cause brief radio blackouts at the poles. This M-class flare caused a radio blackout categorized according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's Space Weather Scales as R2 -- or "moderate" -- on a scale of R1 to R5. It has since subsided.
Increased numbers of flares are quite common at the moment, since the sun's normal 11-year activity cycle is ramping up toward solar maximum, which is expected in 2013. Humans have tracked this solar cycle continuously since it was discovered in 1843, and it is normal for there to be many flares a day during the sun's peak activity.
The flare was not associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME), another solar phenomenon that can send solar particles into space and can reach Earth one to three days later.

"I think we should stop arguing about the Bush tax cuts," says Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a budget watchdog group.
"We've been arguing about them for about 12 years now and I don't think a lot of minds are changing. The debate should move forward and consider fundamental tax reform. It's a far more productive debate to have. When you connect tax reform with entitlement reform, you can actually help solve a lot of our fiscal problems," he says.
Bixby said that a critical test of the coming talks is if they are able to sidestep -- or enlarge -- the debate on the Bush tax cuts and focus instead on overall revenue levels.

Animation: Prusik Knot (Triple Sliding Hitch) Tying
Prusik Knot (Triple Sliding Hitch) TyingUse a piece of cord formed into a loop. Pass the knot around the rope three times inside the loop. Make sure the turns lie neatly beside each other and pull the knot tight.
Prusik Knot (Triple Sliding Hitch) Details
History: The Prusik knot was developed in 1931 by Dr.Karl Prusik (sometime president of the Austrian Mountaineering Club and often misspelled "Prussik".) It appears to be identical in structure to a knot described by Ashley for hoisting a spar. (ABOK # 1763, p 300), but Ashley did not name this knot and did not describe the slide and grip feature. The knot requires a "Prusik Loop"
Uses: Its principal use is allowing a rope to be climbed - ascending or "Prusiking". Two Prusik loops are alternately slid up the static rope: a long Prusik loop reaches the climber's foot – to allow leg power for ascending, and a second short Prusik loop is attached to the harness – to allow sitting. In rescue work, if a climber has to be pulled up, a Prusik loop can hold a pulley block purchase system on a climbing rope.
Making Prusik Loops: Prusik loops are constructed by joining together the two ends of accessory cord (5 or 6 mm) using a Double Fisherman's (or a Triple Fisherman's).
Choosing a length: Many factors govern the length of rope used to make a Prusik Loop; what it will be used for; the number of wraps that will used in the Prusik Knot; the diameters of the ropes; and, the height of the user.
However, as a rough guide, the lengths of cord used to make a pair of loops will likely start in the range: 5 ft (1.5 meters) for the shorter one and 6 ft (1.83 meters) for the longer one.
Slide and Grip Knots: Because the Prusik is a symmetrical slide and grip knot, it is useful if a load might need to be applied in either direction. For loads which are always applied in the same direction other knots are preferred such as the Klemheist or the Bachmann pictured here.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.

Hello all!
Ok ok ok... I made a mistake. I killed the old queen and then interduced the new queen in ther queen cage with the candy exposed.
a lot of people tell me that I should have waited at least 2 hours to two days until I put the new queen and queen cage inside the hive.
ButI didnt listen. Go figure eh?
I put the new queen and cage in on tuesday.
I am worried...panicing and somewhat emotional that they will not except the new queen using the method that I did.
Can anyone reassure me that they too have done this method and that it has worked???
thank you all!

I am a urban beekeeper so space is limited for me. I have been using a 5 frame medium rig in my first year. I am looking to experiment with converting to "all" deeps starting next year. My idea is to have two hives mediums (current equip on hand) and install a new package in a deep and then compare through out the year.
I ran the numbers and a 5 frame deep is just shy of a 8 frame medium in square inches for comb. By using my current rig as a baseline I calculated a significant cost savings in equipment and increase in estimated honey stores by converting to deeps.
I'd like to hear from anyone having experience with 5 frame deeps.


text: Hi I'm new at beekeeping and this spring I would like to start three colonies. I have assembled 6 8 Frame deeps and 6 8 frame mediums. My plan is to put a package I got ordered into an 8 Frame deep then add another deep when needed and then with luck use 8 frame mediums for honey supers. I also was going to do the same thing with two nucs I've ordered. I started a bee school last saturday and my instructer said that it would be hard for 2 8 frame deeps to survive the winter. What do you think? I really hoped I could use 8 Frame deeps for my brood boxes. My Nucs are coming in Deeps.

Greetings, everyone.
I just want to say hello and that I really enjoy this forum. I have been lurking for a month or so, but it's now time to say hello and post a few questions I have about requeening on the Beekeeping 101 board.
My wife and I started two colonies in April and have been enjoying the bees quite a bit. Although I had an interest in keeping bees since about 1980, I never took the plunge. Several years ago, when my wife heard of this interest for the first time, her response was, "THERE IS NO WAY . . ." But, much to my surprise, when the local club announced that a beekeeping class was being offered, my wife was the one that suggested we go. We had a great time in class and we're now fairly active in the club and try to attend beekeeping local events. We attended the summer South Carolina meeting at Clemson University and learned so much. Now, we're looking forward to learning more here on this forum.

UTSA aims to shorten white pages listings
(May 11, 2006)--What is black and white and costs more than $32,000 each year? The pages of UTSA's phone numbers in the San Antonio phone book business directory. The white pages include 445 of UTSA's phone numbers.
As the university looks for ways to reduce costs, officials would like to reduce the number of offices and programs listed in the business white pages.
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
Article tools
"As listings increase in cost, it may be time for us to consider how valuable each listing is," said David Gabler, assistant vice president for university communications. "We frequently hear from individuals that they use the Internet to find a phone number, and that means they may not be using the traditional directory."
Before the university submits a new, streamlined list of phone numbers to be printed in the white pages, there will be a review of the current listings to identify offices that could be contacted through a central area number.
Glenda Norton, director of telecommunications, will e-mail on May 15 a list with current white pages listings to the Office of the President, vice presidents' offices, Office of the Vice Provost - Downtown Campus, Office of the Executive Director - Institute of Texan Cultures and the deans' offices.
Each of these offices will send the list to the areas reporting to them in order to condense the listings for each area. The shortened lists should be returned to the offices listed above by 5 p.m. June 2 for review and e-mailed to Norton by 5 p.m. June 9.

Guiding Principles
Your nomination letter should detail specific examples that describe how the Business Affairs' employee or team has demonstrated or continues to demonstrate these guiding principles.
WE RESPECT and care for each other
- Respect: treating others with civility and openness, recognizing the dignity inherent in each individual; and
- Inclusiveness: fostering diversity and providing access to educational and socioeconomic opportunities for all - regardless of individual backgrounds and philosophies.
WE PARTNER to deliver excellent service
- Excellence: commitment to delivering consistently high-quality service, teaching, and research through superior performance; and
- Collaboration: working with others toward common goals while valuing teamwork, participation, and commitment to public service.
Empowerment is the act of enabling or authorizing an individual to think, behave, take action, and control work and decision making in autonomous ways. Empowerment is a philosophy that enables people to make decisions about their job. We recognize that Business Affairs employees who are valued and empowered will be most likely to live the brand and deliver the brand promise.
- Sharing vision, goals and direction
- Setting clear expectations - establish boundaries for empowerment
- Providing frequent feedback
- Listening & guiding
- Giving opportunities for training & access to information
- Rewarding & recognizing people for empowered behavior
- Demonstrate that we value employees and trust them to do the right thing
- Innovation: encouraging ingenuity, creativity, and discovery.
Positive change is necessary to refresh our processes, meet our customers' needs, and support Business Affairs employees. Business Affairs never loses sight of the fact that we can make more success happen by helping the university community to make better decisions, to function more effectively, to build more fulfilling work environments and relationships, and to minimize risks.
WE DO the right thing
- Integrity: adhering to a standard of core values at UTSA and ensuring that one acts in a fair and ethical fashion.
How we do business is as important as the business we do. Maintaining high standards means conducting university business ethically and legally. Sometimes when we are faced with difficult decisions, the right one is not always the most popular. Integrity is built and earned over time through our prompt honoring of commitments and fair dealing with all. We set the example for stewardship over university resources.

All pipeline systems are susceptible to surge and water hammer, two powerful forces that can cripple critical infrastructure. Surge and water hammer can lead to short- and long-term damage to piped systems by causing conditions such as vibration, rupture, leaks, and displacement. As a result, pipelines may collapse, become contaminated, or fail prematurely.
To avoid loss of key services and expensive repairs, engineers designing piped infrastructure must consider the potential for surge and water hammer and determine the most efficient, cost-effective mitigation strategy.
Dynamic Forces
Hydraulic transients occur when a water column's steady-state conditions are altered; this leads to surge or water hammer. Typical causes of surge andwater hammer include pump start-up and shut down, power failure, sudden open or closure of line valves, and column separation.
Surge is most commonly observed in a rigid, or incompressible, system. The phenomenon results from relatively slow changes in pipeline flow and is oftenassociated with the formation of vapor cavities (water column separation). The rate of change for a surge event is moderate compared with the near instantaneous change observed in a water hammer event.
Water hammer occurs in systems with some element of compressibility of the liquid and elasticity of the pipeline. This elastic process yields a pressurewave due to a rapid change in fluid velocity.
Control Devices
Surge and water hammer are controlled by a number of components, each with advantages and disadvantages.
Pump control valves offer automatic control but may prove ineffective in power failures unless provided with backup stored energy sources to close thevalve.
Surge relief valves, whether spring or pilot operated, can be set to open at 10% to 15% above maximum pump pressure, but they require drain piping to adischarge point and are generally not effective on down surges (low-pressure events such as those caused by pump power failure).
Surge anticipator valves are pilot operated and programmable. They open immediately on power failure and await the pressure wave arrival. Valve closingis controlled to limit pressure upsurges (high pressure that can be caused by valve closure). However, these valves are not effective in controllingnegative pressures, or they must be combined with other valves to cover all possibilities.
Surge tanks act as combination shock absorbers and water accumulators. The tanks, typically located near the pump station, are effective on both up anddown surges, but they are large, expensive, and require varying levels of maintenance, including freeze protection.
Flywheels control surge and water hammer by slowly reducing motor/pump speed. However, flywheels are expensive and can increase motor starting torque.

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Adult Basic and Literacy Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Options and Involvement for Parents and Students
- Focus on What Works
Preparing adults for the demands of a changing economy and society is one of the nation's greatest challenges. As the demand for adult education resources rise, one essential strategy to meet this challenge is increased collaboration among adult education providers and various organizations.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Artemis@BC, Jan 14, 2014.
Only 3 episodes. I am suffering from withdrawal. I WANT MORE !!!!
Soooooooooooooooo many twists, turns, and red herrings...I loved it! I watched it twice, and still want to see it again.
I really believed John's intensely mixed feelings about Sherlock being alive...relief, shock, anger, betrayal; I'm glad they didn't make Sherlock's return easy for him/them.
I loved the game scene between Sherlock and Mycroft where it looked like they were playing chess...and then we realize they're playing OPERATION!
I wasn't sure how I'd react to Mary...but I think I like her!
I liked the survival scenario scene where Sherlock kissed Molly...sexy! And then later when he actually kissed her on the cheek...aaaaaaaw! And the reveal of Molly's Sherlock-lite boyfriend was hilarious!!
And it was BRILLIANT to cast Benedict's actual parents Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton to play Sherlock's parents!
(I didn't get much sleep...may add more thoughts later....)
I loved the restaurant scene where Sherlock plays the smarmy French waiter...HILARIOUS!
And just a bit of Benedict ephemera:
Sherlock adjusting his collar, tousling his hair, and kissing Molly was SO HOT. I'm just going to pretend that was real.
And his scene with Molly wishing her happiness was heartbreaking.
ITA with all of this. Except I didn't know that it was Benedict's actual parents -- that's so cool! (Mycroft being tortured in having to take them to Les Mis -- hilarious!)
I'm also really glad they had the multiple versions of how Sherlock faked his death ... but never said which was the actual way. Such a fantastic way to acknowledge the fans. (And the Scottish girl's version that ended with Sherlock and Moriarty kissing ... ).
And major kudos to the writing & editing of the scene that flashed back and forth between Sherlock & and Mrs Hudson, and John in his (obviously) boring GP job. Especially:
Mrs Hudson: "And what did John say?"
Sherlock: "He said F..."
(quick cut to John): "Cough."
Brilliant return of Sherlock. I was on th edge of my seat waiting for the next revelation.
It was intense, witty, and even a little romance (the kiss w/Molly and the the kiss w/ Moriarty on the roof).
I will have to re-watch this episode because there were so many twists and turns I want to
make sure I did not miss anything. I thought that they humanized Sherlock a little in
this episode but will it last.
Did you stay tuned for the behind-the-scenes thing that came right after? I loved Louise Brealey talking about shooting that scene, and how "difficult" it was to have to do several takes.
My local PBS station didn't show the behind-the-scenes thing
For those who may not know, Amanda Abbington (who plays Mary Morstan) is Martin Freeman's real-life partner (together for about 14 yrs, but have never married), and mother of his children**.
P.S. And she plays department head Miss Mardle on Mr. Selfridge.
I bought a digital copy on Amazon.com for $1.99 + tax.
**Two children...Joe and Grace.
Are you sure? There was quite a bit of a wait: there tons of "next week" previews, ads, and thanks to our sponsors to get through first. But since the program was only 90 minutes and the timeslot was booked for the full 2 hours (on the Seattle broadcast), I waited, just in case ... and was rewarded.
Yeah I left the channel on for 1.5 hours after Sherlock ended and there was nothing except a brief preview of the next episode and an equally brief interview with Benedict Cumberbatch.
^ Aw, that's too bad. I'd write an angry email to your PBS if I were you!
It will be on the DVD though if you're planning on getting that. And as dardar said it's available for digital download.
More great moments...
The reveal in Serbia that the man being beaten is Sherlock (!) and one of his guards is Mycroft (!!).
That scene with Watson and Mrs. Hudson where he tells her he's met someone, and she assumes it's a MAN! Such a witty, bantering exchange that ends with Watson declaring "I'M*NOT*GAY!"
The very tense scenes of John trapped in that Guy Fawkes bonfire as Sherlock frantically tries to rescue him. (Nice reference point since they are about to investigate a plan to bomb Parliament...and that's what Fawkes attempted.)
Deleted due to duplicate.
That was well done, and I loved how it brought Mary & Sherlock together. The scheduling of the Guy Fawkes thing struck me as odd, though. I suppose some places might move bonfire night to the weekend closest to Nov 5, but traditionally bonfire night is on Nov 5, weekend on not. So for them to have the bonfire night on Nov 4 instead seemed weird.
(And really, what idiot at Westminster schedules a big, all-night debate for parliament on Nov 5 for hank's sake? )
When they had the kids doing their "penny for the Guy" thing early in the episode (when John went back to Baker St, before Sherlock's reappearance), I did think at the time that it was foreshadowing. And it's been a long time since I read the Conan Doyle books -- was this one based on one of his stories? (I vaguely remember the first Downey Sherlock movie being about a plot to bomb parliament ...)
She's quite an interesting young woman!
dardar1126, can you PM me the Amazon page of the behind the scenes episode? I can't seem to find it...
EDIT: OOPS...wrong one...see 2nd message.
I loved the bit with the Holmes parents.
On the off-topic section of Planet Gallifrey (the Doctor Who board) the Sherlock discussion took a wild left-hand turn in a discussion of the accuracy - or lack thereof - and then the usual who cares/I care about the schedule and etc, etc, of the Undergound line and the type of train, and how long it took and etc., etc. Totally had me at the irony.
Loved John's reaction to the return, loved the scenarios, loved the reveal of Molly's boyfriend and the pause Sherlock made as he put on his scarf. I love that fact that BC's real parents played his on-screen parents. And I like Mary. I just hope she doesn't share the fate of book Mary, but they've changed things up in many areas all along, that it isn't inevitable.
When I first saw the ep, my thought was, fun,lots of fan service, but slightly underwhelmed. But, I also thought that they needed to set up whatever was coming.
In other matters. The only things that seemed to be cut were a couple of words. In one case, in the bomb diffusing scene John calls Sherlock a "cock", and I think he did it in one other instance. So - that's good.
A very thorough recap:

'Sherlock' Season 3 Premiere: 10 Funniest Quotes
8:45 PM PST 1/19/2014 by Philiana Ng, Aaron Couch
Watson's mustache, Sherlock's parents and a very surprising French accent are among the standouts of the PBS/BBC show's return.
The entire Holmes family...Sherlock, Mycroft, and Mum & Dad Holmes:
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Via Twitter...
EDIT2: More SHERLOCK nepotism...
Producer Sue Vertue is married to Stephen Moffat; her mum Beryl Vertue is also a producer.
Mark Gatiss's husband Ian Hallard played Moriarty's attorney in The Reichenbach Fall (Season 2).
Benedict's girlfriend-at-the-time Olivia Poulet played the administrative assistant in The Blind Banker (Season 1).
Ok, some people have waaaay too much time on their hands ...
25 references and in-jokes you might have missed
at #23
I love this kind of minutiae!
"Magical Genetic Combo".
When I saw the Ep the first time, I wondered about them, because I knew his parents were actors, so I went to look them up and found out they were his parents. I think it was her eyes.
#10 - I can't believe that none of the recaps I've read, mentioned that. It's like one of the most famous "Holmesisms" ever.
#23 - I know...why not?
I agree...his facial features really resemble his mum...but he has his dad's facial shape and height.
I find his slighty odd, alien looks VERY appealing...attractive...SEXY! Add to that the fabulous voice, intelligence and wit, and I'm a goner!!
Posting to bump the thread up, and to say that I got my Series 3 DVD's in the mail last night!!! I think I've watched each episode at least 3 times now. Always something different to discover.
If you aren't taping them as you watch, you might want to reconsider that. Just sayin.
Region 2 I assume? Region 1 doesn't get released til Feb 11. Mine are on order.
I agree that all the episodes stand up to multiple viewings. I recorded last week's and might re-watch before this Sunday. (Even if only to spot the Tardis. )
Yep - Region 2. Had to complete my set correctly doncha know.
I know - right? There are a couple of scenes that on the rewatch, had me sort of reassessing a few things. Can't wait to be able to talk about it.

Timely Hits Evade Lobos in 3-2 loss to Colorado State
May 9, 2013
New Mexico Lobos Softball - Mountain West Series -- at Lobo Field
Who: Lobos vs. Colorado State
Thursday, May 9: Colorado State def. Lobos, 3-2
Friday, May 10: 6 p.m. - Youth Night, GameTracker | Live Streaming
Saturday, May 11: 1 p.m. - Senior Day, GameTracker | Live Streaming
Game 54 - Colorado State 3, New Mexico 2
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The University of New Mexico Lobos softball team got plenty of hits Thursday night in its Mountain West series opener with Colorado State, they just didn't get enough timely hits.
UNM outhit the Rams, 10-7, but got just one timely hit of the evening -- a two-out, two-run homer by freshman catcher Naomi Tellez in the bottom of the seventh -- and dropped a 3-2 decision to CSU.
The Lobos fall to 21-33 overall and 3-13 in MW play while Colorado State improves to 23-24 overall and 9-7 in league contests.
"Timely hitting is the name of the game," head coach Erica Beach said. "Colorado State was able to get those hits with runners in scoring position and unfortunately we started most of our rallies with two outs, so we didn't give ourselves much room.
"Naomi came up big for us at the end and gave us a huge morale boost. Hopefully that can lead us into tomorrow's game."
Tellez's long ball was her fourth of the season and her only hit of the evening.
Sophomore Mia Hignojos went 3-for-3 in the contest while senior Kari Gutierrez went 2-for-3 and freshman Mariah Rimmer went 2-for-4.
"We're doing a good job of getting on base and we executed better today -- moving runners, but we need that one person to step up for us and get a clutch hit in a timely situation," Beach said.
In the fourth, sixth and seventh frame the Lobos got back-to-back hits followed by a strikeout.
"Anyone can do it," Beach added. "Mia Hignojos had a fantastic day, but she was usually the one leading things off. We need someone to come up with runners in place and step up for us."
The Rams used four hits in the third inning -- including back-to-back doubles -- to put up two runs to claim a 2-0 lead. CSU struck again in the fifth inning when its leadoff hit a double to right field and was driven in a few batters later on a single through the left side.
New Mexico didn't strike back until the top of the seventh when senior Sheryl Guillermo led off with a bloop single just out of reach of the Rams' shortstop and was driven in two outs later by Tellez's homer over the center-field fence.
Senior Kaela DeBroeck pitched the 40th complete game of her career. In 32 batters faced, she scattered seven hits adn allowed three runs while walking five and striking out five. DeBroeck's record is 7-12.
Winning pitcher was Kacie McCarthy. The senior threw 5 2/3 innings and gave up eight hits and no runs. She walked two and struck out five en route to improving her record to 18-12. Sophomore Molly Randle came on in relief and threw the final 1 1/3 innings. She gave up two hits and two earned runs while walking none and striking out two. Randle earned her second save of the season.
The Lobos host the Rams at 6 p.m. MT on Friday for Youth Night. All attendees aged 2-18 get a $3 ticket. The first 150 fans to enter Lobo Field get a free Dairy Queen Dilly Bar and the first 250 fans get a free Southwest Dairy Farmers drawstring backpack. There will also be an in-game raffle and a number of other prizes given away.

And yet, no one has mentioned how many of those treatments actually result in colony losses.
Nor is anyone keeping track of how much time is being spent carrying out those treatments, or how that time could be better used to increase productivity.
It's being called unsustainable for a reason.
I'm saying that treatments are having a much bigger impact on productivity, and margins, than anyone realizes.

3-year-old shoots self, parents could face charges
Child shoots his foot, expected to recover
FOUNTAIN, Colo. - A 3-year-old Fountain boy is recovering after police said he found his parents' gun and shot himself in the foot.
It happened on the 200 block of Turf Trail Place just after 8 a.m. Wednesday. Police said the child found a .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun in the master bedroom and pulled the trigger.
"When the accident occurred, the mom was at home," said Fountain Police Sgt. Scott Gilbertsen. "She did not witness her son gaining access to the handgun. Dad was at work on Ft. Carson at the time, from my understanding."
Police said it was a neighbor who called 911. KRDO Newschannel 13 spoke to that woman, who said, at the time, the mother was also caring for her second child, a baby girl.
"A lot of different types of people live (in this neighborhood), but when someone needs help, we're always always there for each other," said the neighbor, who opted not to give her name. "I'm glad she felt comfortable enough to ask for help."
The neighbor said she wasn't sure why the mother didn't call 911 herself, suggesting that maybe the woman couldn't find her cellphone. She said the boy's father, a Ft. Carson soldier, came home right away. She and other neighbors said the man had recently returned from a deployment.
Fountain Police said the parents could face charges.
"Charges are always an option in a situation like this," said Gilbertsen. "Child abuse or neglect type charges."
He said police won't decide on charges until their investigation is completed.
Gilbertsen said the police department encourages responsible gun ownership and wants to remind people to use a trigger lock, gun safe or similar device. Gun locks are available for free at Fountain PD and some other police departments around southern Colorado.

Had a few vac days left so I started a project that has been forming in my mind the last month or so. This project uses a Soumi barrel and a PPS43 bolt which I am modifing using pirates FP sleeve and an AR15 firing pin. Fire control group will also be AR15. Here it is mocked up. It will use Suomi drums or stick mags.
The receiver uses a round tube mounted inside a square tube. The magwell is on of Roger's 2xtm magwells. (My last one.) We need to support Roger in this venture and commit to some more magwells where he will do another run.
This photo shows the relationship of the magwell feed ramp to the barrel. It feeds both drums and mags flawlessly.
The barrel is a 12" Soumi that I turned the end down and made an extension for. The extension was Mig welded to the barrel and turned to final dimension on the lathe. Compensater was turned on the lathe and pressed on the barrel extension. It will be ported at a later date. The front trunnion was turned on the lathe and welded to the barrel.
I will continue to post pics as I get this one finished. All comments welcomed. ( I really need to get back on the MG47 beltfed.)

Interesting Indeed Beeman, "It's a little bit here & a little bit there", until humans stress how to artificially pollinate our crops?
Thank you so much
good one to repost!
So what are they saying??? We should tell the almond growers that they have to spend more money to make less? We should plant habitat for the bees? If there were no need for the migratory beekeepers, there would be none. We would have the same amount of bees. Just like emerald ash bore beetle is killing every ash tree around Ohio. Whether you move firewood or not the beetle is still moving its just happening slower. The world is so big we couldnt stop mites forever. Someone would bring them over sooner or later. Colony Collapse is a combination of alot of things obviously. Just like mites are building up to your chemical treatment honey bees are building up to all of these BS chemicals idiots spray everywhere. All we can really do is control ourselves. I am not willing to pay twice as much for corn because some greenie passes some stupid law in Iowa saying you have to change up your habitat. Too much corn and beans! We are now in the area of habitat management. You can manage and manage well for anything you want! Any animal you want that is there. 100 years ago we didnt have deer or turkeys in Ohio. Thanks to trappers we have otters again in the state with a growing populations. We have beavers again. We have bobcats again and populations are increasing. Why? Because we manage... We manipulate habitat! Its not all bad and this video does not show that. manage your bees and God willing good things will happen for all of us.
I want my 8 minutes back.
Ninja, is not in the dictionary. Well played Ninja's, well played...
Overall I didn't think that documentary was too bad, a lot of the same old song and dance though. Surrounded by gmo this and that, monoculture, and Bayer this, Neonics that.

Full Year 2013 - Physical Education
Celebrating Fatherhood and Quality Family Time
By: Chris Paul, PCFSN Council Member, NBA All-Star and Father of Two
In the spirit of Father's Day during Men's Health Week and in celebration of President Obama's Fatherhood Initiative, some of us wrote messages to father or our own kid(s) about the impact they have in our lives. All of us seemed to agree on one essential truth: spending quality time with loved ones can have a positive and lasting impact on our health, happiness and well-being.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Supports Let's Move! Active Schools
By: PCFSN Staff
When First Lady Michelle Obama launched the Let's Move! Active Schools program in late February, she challenged all teachers, parents and school administrators to help bring physical activity back into our children's schools. This call was not lost on Dr. Jayne Greenberg, member of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition.
Let's Move! Active Schools
By: Dominique Dawes, Co-Chair of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition
When I think back to my childhood years, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to have grown up in a community that placed such a great emphasis on engaging in regular physical activity. I didn't know it at the time, but when I was tumbling at the age of 6, I was doing more than just having a good time – I was also creating healthy habits that will benefit my health and well-being for a lifetime.

Perfect location, very nice apartment, the only thing-horrible bed/sofa... At the end we slept just on the matttess on the floor.. Very uncomfortable.
I can't say enough. The place was perfect in so many ways. Clean, updated and the location of the apartment was right their. Step out the door to everything, shopping, beach, restaurants, transportation just perfect. I recomend this place to anyone that is looking to stay in their own little apartment while traveling in France.
The owner Hekel was so informative and had someone meet us at the place.
We will go back one day.
Excellent apartment. Location couldn't be better. Fully renovated recently. Owner easy to contact and work with.
The super central location of this contemporary studio was perfect for exploring Nice. It's fitted out well for self catering and the sofa bed is good quality & comfortable. As per other reviews it is a pretty noisy area, but don't let this turn you off (just pack ear plugs if you're concerned). We'd definitely recommend staying here.
very nice little apartment! we just can recommend it!
It takes you 5min (walk) to old town or the beach.
From the Airport you can take bus 98 and you'll be in 20min at the apartment :)
Thank You for everything! we enjoyed our trip in nice
Rundum Perfekt
Thanks Heykel & Denis :)
We had a great time over there.
Nice is a beautiful city and the apartment is in the middle of the city center.
not bad,
but building itself is old-
hard to get key on time.
no new bed sheet.
location is good, really center.
It is a very nice studio in the middle of the town,nearby all the important places for a turist in that area: Place Massena, bus station, Promenade des Anglais, market, turist information office and about 800m till bus station
The room is very clean and looks like new. Confortable bed and s small kitchen to cook. I would definetly stay there again, it was very nice. In the night, can be a little bit noisy but with some ear-wax is all ok ;)

A California Highway Patrol officer attempted to stop a red BMW coupe Wednesday night for speeding and weaving, but the coupe accelerated away northbound on North State Street in Ukiah instead. As law enforcement units attempted to intercept the fleeing BMW, a responding officer crashed into a tree, suffering major injuries, according to the CHP.
The officer was airlifted to Ukiah Valley Medical Center for emergency treatment. The officer, whose name has not been released, is listed in stable condition, and his injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to a CHP spokesman.
The officer's vehicle crashed into a tree on the Comptche-Ukiah Road near Flynn Creek Road as he was attempting to converge on the speeding vehicle. Several law enforcement units involved in the chase diverted to aid the officer.
The BMW, which started the pursuit, turned west bound on Orr Springs Road reaching speeds up to 75 mph. The BMW attempted to shake its pursuit, leaving Orr Springs Road onto Appian Way, then to Masonite Road, to Highway 128 until the chase ended on Wendling Soda Creek Road.
As soon as the BMW stopped on a private driveway, the driver and right-front passenger bailed out of the vehicle and fled on foot. A female passenger remained with the coupe.
Officers caught up with the driver, identified as Christopher Skaggs, 30, of Ukiah. Skaggs continued to resist arrest and was TASED to allow officers to handcuff him.
Skaggs was arrested on suspicion of felony evasion of a peace officer resulting in serious bodily injury, driving with a suspended license, violating probation and resisting arrest.
The fleeing passenger was never caught. The female passenger was released.
The pursuit began at 9:29 p.m. Skaggs was not taken into custody until 10:29 p.m.

Goodbye Gloss, I'm Leaving With Lipstick

"Bubblegum pinks" filled with sparkles that taste like strawberries. They were all the rage when I was growing up. In school we'd always compare our purples and nudes and reds (for those whose mothers' permitted it), and we could never get enough of the stickiest, gooiest glosses. At 16, I swore I'd never trade my lipgloss for a dry boring lipstick. Now, I can't remember the last lipgloss I purchased.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I don't have any pic going back that far. My prior vehicle was a Suburban, I had a hitch cargo carrier basically like this one:
Underneath the plywood was the standard steel cargo hitch carrier. The plywood was covered with boat carpet to be water proof. This worked for a while as it was 1/2 the distance to "load-up". As his Cancer got worse, I made a second deck pc. I attached it with 4" door hinges at the side so the 2nd deck would butterfly fold down on the side to create a ramp. Then fold on top of the base for driving.
My Dog was about 95#s. This was strong enough to holds him, Gayle didn't have to struggle with a heavy clumsy ramp and it didn't take up a lot of room.
I've seen a few people with these folding steps:
Mostly they had Mastiff breed dogs and they were younger. So, keep your dogs mobility in mind with this type.
Sounds like an easy enough project. I'd guess a couple 2x3's, some plywood, and maybe a little carpet for grip and you're in business. Perhaps some rubber on the end that hits the ground for grip, or make sure you offer a planted foot while the dog is on the ramp to prevent it from kicking out. You could even add some heavy duty hinges and make it foldable.
Here's lot of pics to give some ideas...http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...as&fr2=piv-web
Has anyone ever built a dog tailgate ramp? Show me your pics!
Hi all,
This forum has a lot of DIYers who make great stuff. We have a 70 pound 11 year old lab mix who can't quite make it into the pickup anymore, and who jumps out of it even though she shouldn't. I 've finally convinced my spouse, who is great at these projects, to build her a ramp.
We'd love to see some pictures of homemade truck ramps and any advice would also be great.
We figure we have most of the materials and Ron needs a chore to keep him busy! Thanks,

Just enter in information about your last gasoline purchase and where you were at when you bought it. Last night in Grand Prairie, Texas ... I paid $2.92 for gasoline.

I have seen several open colonies over the years, most often in late fall. Rubber band or string tie the combs to frames and no problem. Give them a few frames of honey from another hive and they will make it.
I have never noticed the comb being overly fragile. It is normally like any other first year comb. No problem securing to frames and moving. If you think they are fragile, use a sheet of foundation and attach comb to frame with foundation to the back, only use one side of foundation, cut out a large portion of the foundation in the center of the frame so the brood is exposed on both sides of the comb. The frame you have left will help to hold the comb if it is fragile.
I have never found a colony that survived the winter in Kentucky as an exposed colony. Might survive in other climates, don't know.
