Has any body heard rumors about commerical
beekeeper purposly introducing them to thre operation. I know bee weaver tells it has just wander how common this is.
Here's the issue that I'm concerned with. There has been some theories that an Africanized queen hatches out earlier than her European sister. The genetic predisposition to hatch early has a correlation to the gene that causes aggressive behavior. So, what that means is that if this is true, you could mix European and African bees all day long, and if there is any African genetics in the mix, the aggressive tendency will accompany that. You could almost assume that if the primary point of African genetics is aggressive behavior. That's why they go after mites, ants, and beetles - it's an aggression factor against a hive intruder, not a cleaning behavior.
Lets put it another way. If this is true, and we left all the bees in the South alone, eventually all of them would be Africanized, because now that we have brought African pests like the mites and the beetles, only the African aggressive tendency can deal with them. The European queens would die out and the African queens would replace them. At some point there may be a thick band of overlap, but the United States could be split between Southern Bees that have African tendencies and Northern bees with European tendencies. During the summers, there's a large overlap band as the bees migrate, and there may be Northern states where someone imports an African hive from the south, but without severe Beekeeper input, they won't make it through the winter.
I have noticed that many of my more aggressive, larger hives will tend not to make it to the winter just because they keep their hive sizes too big near the fall. Many species vary in the tendency. Italians sometimes have trouble making it through the winter becuase the winter cluster is just too big, and with fall mites, they really suffer. I believe the African hives will have the same issue. Through genetics, they wouldn't have a tendency to dramatically reduce hive size in the winter in an African situation. They may have more of a tendency to do so due to dry conditions than cold ones because of where they're from.
Just my thoughts on this issue, but haven't seen a lot of conclusive research, and those with Africanized hives could weigh in more.
I don't think saying that B. Weaver purposely introduced AHB into their operation is the proper characterization of what happened. The B Weaver operation was in place a LONG time before AHB came onto the scene. Of course they could have picked up shop and moved to avoid the interaction, but instead they held their position and are doing their best to deal with the current conditions of their site. Couple of statements from their website:
"BeeWeaver tolerated more stinging to produce bees that did not perish when hives were left untreated for varroa and tracheal mites. Between 1996 and 2002 our bees were more defensive on average with the chance of extremes in both directions (super gentle to intolerable). Since 2001 we have been able to refocus on all the traits that we want our bees to have including good attitudes. Each year there has been significant improvement. "
"Our mating grounds are in an area where Africanized bees have been for about 20 years. We feel the African bee incursion did severely affect our stock's temperament for the first 5-10 years, beginning in 1994. In the ensuring years, many of those feral African colonies have been watered down by our bees, existing feral bees and other US beekeeper's stock. Inter-breeding with feral Africanized bees does undoubtedly continue but we take measures to minimize their influence."
I guess you could "spin" this to say that they introduced AHB, but I believe they took the conditions handed to them and did the best they could. Is the result bees that are superior against varroa? I'll let the forums debate that.... Don't get me wrong, I think that they have done a remarkable job given the circumstances imposed upon them and seem to have very good reviews and a loyal customer base.
However, back to your question, I have no clue if purposeful introduction of AHB has been done by commercial queen breeders, but it seems like a risky endeavor.
I have heard, weather it is truth or rumor, and I think it is truthfull, that USDA introduced African Stock into the US in the 1950's. It was "tested"and released to US queen breeders.I heard it produced alot of brood, was somewhat hot and had a tendancey to swarm....... I can remember package bees that came by train, took a week from the south, and they swarmed a lot
I once bought 25 queens from a breeder in Mississippi and not a one of those colonies made it thru the winter just south of the border in ND. The outfit went out of business because none of the queens sent north wintered. The rumor was they were africanized breeding. I hate to mention a name because this was in the seventies and I might very well remember wrong and i don't want to slander anyone.
Yall know other than over wintering up north they could really help stock survive but i figuire this would be alot of peoples thinking. As far as pollanation service providers theyll hate africanized but poor beeks will apricate them small amouts of honey beats a white box full of dead bee
I disagree intensely with most of the above. There is no reason why a person has to put up with aggressive bees in order to keep bees alive and producing. Get some stock that has the right traits and you can maintain gentle stock that produces honey and never has to be treated for mites or beetles. I have two colonies sitting on my porch and walk by them daily with zero issues... except that I had to show the mailman that he could walk right by them too.

I get stung three or four times by my Minnesota Hygenic hives for each sting I get from my RWeaver and BWeaver hives. All 2012 queens, not two, five or ten years ago, my experience of this season. I believe what the Weaver's write.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
I dont think that every strain of bees from africa has aggressive tendency associated with shorter devlopment time. Bees like A.M. Monticola and A.M.Sahariensis also have shorter development time and are not aggressive.
Aggressive behaviour is due to the place where they came from. Bees from the plains of africa had to fight against a lot of different predators including humans to survive. So they had to be very aggressive to just stay alive.
Bees from the mountains (A.M.Monticola) and desert (A.M.sahariensis) did not hav to deal with those kind of predatory pressure to survive and did not develop a very highly aggressive behaviour. But as any other african strain of bees, they also have a shorter development time.
A.M.Monticola from Mt Kenya and A.M.Sahariensis has been used in the buckfast breeding program by Br. Adam. A.M.Monticola has different ecotypes from different mountains in africa and they all seem to be pretty gentle to work with. A.M.Sahariensis is closely related to A.M.Adansonii genetically but isolation in the Morrocan desert for many years has made them very gentle bees. May be one day they can be used as good genetic material to add to the existing gene pool to improve the stock.
If agressive Equal mite restance then why did all the dutch die out in my area. I agree about the gene pool getting added to for more productive stock. Its amazin what being cutoff from out side world will do to certain traits and color and even where they make there nest.
There was a lot of confusion in the 50s of which African stock was imported and this was the same issue with the bees brought the second attempt to Brazil. There are actually at least 12 African bees that were reportedly misidentified several times they were shipped or imported.
I got up this morning and drove to a local restaurant for a cup of coffee. There was a 3 car collision in Birmingham Alabama. Did the fact that I drove to the coffee shop cause the pileup in Bham? Just because two events are congruent in time does not mean they are causally connected.If agressive Equal mite restance then why did all the dutch die out in my area.
The dutch bees died out because they did NOT have enough of the genetics for mite allogrooming or for hygienic behavior. This is just a bit misleading though, the wild bees in my area are slowly making a comeback. I don't think more than 1 colony in 1000 made it, but over time, they are growing and multiplying. I can actually catch feral swarms now which was not possible for about 10 years. There is more than one reason for this though, I deliberately induced my mite tolerant bees to swarm heavily one year to re-populate the immediate area. The tolerant bees are showing up all over this region, not just here where I live.
NW Alabama, 47 years, 22 colonies and growing, sideliner, treatment free since 2005, 14 frame square Dadant broodnest
Fusion, how much of the comeback is due to genetics or is it because most of the bees died off and the mites with them in that area. African queens do emerge earlier which gives them the advantage and there was a study that africanized drones pass on their dna better as well. The study showed that even if a small percentage of the drones a queen mated with were AHB, the AHB genes were present in the majority of her offspring, they could not conclude how this happened or the mode of action.
same here were i live there are wild bees once again. there was`nt for a long time. i will not keep mean bees. the ones i have now are a mix but they are the best bees i have had in my life.
Aggresive bees would put an end to beekeeping for the majority of beekeepers, because I am quite certain that many hobbyist's and small beekeepers live in populated areas and not in the middle of nowhere, and mean bees cause problems with neighbors, besides, who wants to work mean bees all the time. The claim that aggresive bees produce more honey would be hard to prove. Do AHB's have a benefit when it comes to varroa? Possibly, but what is it due to, aggressive behaviour, or because they are a smaller bee which has a smaller cell, and a shorter gestational period, or both. John
My experience with queens purchased from southern states that happen to mate with a few africanized drones do show quite aggressive tendencies and quickly die when the weather turns cold. This is not death by starvations, but in fact death by their inablility to shiver and generate heat. So far all the good from africanized bees cannot overcome this problem. northwestqueens.com
Our bees are a bit unique though, and testing for African genetics doesn't always work. I have heard the Spanish imported bees when they conquered Central America. The ones they brought over had AMI in their genetics. They show up as African in a test. I have noted two distinct varieties here. The dark ones that overwinter just fine, and a lighter one that usually does not.
It is amusing to me to hear people debate this issue when they do not live in an area with them. It's really not that big a deal in my opinion. Most of the really mean bees I have dealt with have turned out to be EHB, go figure. We have bees up here in the mountains that seem to match the description of Black Bees, and they are a far, far different variety of aggressive than any I have ever seen that test out as African.

We will remember them - Thursday, 29 October 2009
_*At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them*_ – Laurence Binyon
Britain's oldest museum pays tribute to the nation's war dead during November in a poignant month of Remembrance.
To complement the traditional Armistice Day service on Wednesday, November 11, the Royal Armouries has lined up a programme of events to honour those who made the "ultimate sacrifice".
Following last year's tribute when museum staff read out the names of every Leeds' soldier killed during the First World War, the Royal Armouries will now remember local people who gave their lives during the 1939-1945 conflict.
A Roll of Honour has been assembled with the assistance of Leeds City Library's local history department and includes approximately 2,500 names, which will be read out throughout November.
Other events include:
Armistice Day Service
Royal Navy Chaplain, the Rev G Warren, will lead the service from 10.30am. This will include a two-minute silence and poppy petal drop.
Lest We Forget
Every Tuesday and Thursday throughout November at 11am, the RA's team of historical actors will visit War Memorials around the city of Leeds. They will read poetry and talk about the people featured on each specific memorial.
Visits are as follows:
Nov 3 – Leeds Parish Church
Nov 5 – Barwick in Elmet War Memorial
Nov 10 – Adel-Cum-Eccup Baptist Church
Nov 12 – Rothwell War Memorial
Nov 17 – Leeds City Boer War Memorial
Nov 19 – Leeds Metropolitan University
Nov 24 – Calverley War Memorial
Nov 26 – Leeds City War Memorial
The numerous acted pieces performed throughout the month draw upon eye-witness testimony and first-hand accounts; and are heart-rending and hopeful in equal measure.

The Short was beautiful. Her Freeskate moved her way up last time out, so yes it was a rough skate here at the final. Most posters are great fans but have never really been out there. Sometimes things get away from you. Vanessa has improved her overall skills this year. Her technique is sound but left her tonight.
Zijun Li is also beautiful! If she grows up really well after puberty-she can become a force to reckon with.
Polina Korobeynikova is spectacular! I love her! Reminiscent of Yu-Na Kim, Carolina Kostner and Alissa Czisny combined!
me too love her light and polished skating
and she is starting to make her trademark spin while putting her hand against her chest as if
she was holding a rose. very lovely to watch
I see she's coached by Viktoria Volchkova -- a skater that had some of the best technique in the business: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pbZsz7ENVU&#t=1m14s
Not surprising that Polina K inherited some of that good technique!
I love Viktoria! She was one of my faves and I love her "Gone With The Wind" program.
Not to mention, Polina K's. jumps are huge
pointers from Volchkova definitely have helped also with her progress
Off the trend,Zijun was great with so much flow,speed,well-centered spins and those jumps. What I love her the most is her presentation using full body.
I can't help looking forward to seeing how she grows as a skater.
Maybe she'll move up to senior level?

Crêpes aren't just for dessert—they make a quick and savory weeknight dinner. Here they're filled with ricotta cheese, green beans, zucchini and corn and topped with a chive-cream sauce. Don't skip the step of placing a piece of parchment or wax paper under each crêpe as you fill it—without it, the crêpes are tricky to roll. Serve with: A tossed salad.

Serves 4
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 30 min.
Step 1
Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, milk, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, green beans and corn and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in ricotta, Monterey Jack, the remaining 1/4 cup chives, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
To roll crêpes, place one on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or leave it on the piece of plastic separating the crêpes in the package). Spoon one-fourth of the vegetable-cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) down the center of the crêpe. Use the paper (or plastic) to help you gently roll the crêpe around the filling. Place the crêpe seam-side down on a dinner plate. Repeat with the remaining crêpes and filling. Serve each crêpe topped with 2 tablespoons of the reserved sauce and more chives, if desired.

Does it annoy anyone else that every team in the WBC wears the same styled uniforms with the color panel up the sides and continuing across the shoulder. Surely one of these teams would want to design their own uniforms to represent their country and say screw you WBC and the company that paid you to be the official uniform supplier of the tournament, we're capable of getting ourselves some uni's.
While I'm on uniforms it also annoys me how the little league world series teams don't get to wear their hometown uniform but those generic regional ones. Imagine the Reds getting back to the WS this year and coming out in a "National League" uniform.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by CATCH17, Jan 29, 2013.
Also could he have gone 8-8 with Romo as his QB?
He went 5-11 with way worse talent. If Romo is as good as everyone claims then he should be worth 3 more wins, right?
Could Andy Reid with his? Tom Coughlin?
The NFL is a tough business. Only in Dallas is 8-8 the end of the world and a harkening back to the darkest days of the franchise.
To answer your question: no.
And not just Romo, but Demarcus Ware... Spencer... Dez... Lee... Witten...
That's what's funny about people saying this team lacks so much talent. Go look at those teams if you want to see true lack of talent.
Yes, I see Romo and a couple other players as the difference between 5-11 and 8-8 today. Garrett and Campo are interchangeable, both just steal oxygen.
I'll be sick of the wasted years given to Wade and Garrett when Jerry is forced to bring in someone competent, as he had to do with Parcells. I look forward to someone who knows what they are doing to get Romo to the next level.
Yes. I say 8-8. Gailey? maybe 9-7 Parcells? maybe 10-6 or 11-5
We lost about 5 games by just one or two plays. Baltimore, Atlanta, NY2nd, New Orleans, Washington2nd
He already is...
Yes, Heaven forbid expectations are a little higher for a team that spends as much as any other team and annually voices displeasure with average results.
You'll get no argument from me that expectations are too high for this team. Or that our fans are mostly whiney children when their expectations aren't met. Cue the 17-years-of-futility dirge.
What difference does it make if he could or could not?
That's six great players. Sure, we have more than that, but we also have a lot of average to poor players, including an OL full of players who have no business getting significant playing time.
Add in a ST's group that's nothing special, and you have a team that is top heavy, but not solid throughout. You might win where you're strong, but you will lose where you're weak.
Could CATCH17 go 8-8 with this talent?
No. Garrett does do one thing very well. He's got guys always playing hard and for the full 60 minutes. Guys quit on Campo left and right
We've got his back. :starspin
Any coach could go 4-12 or 12-4 with this roster, depending on injuries, scheduling, good/bad bounces, and other quasi-random circumstances beyond their control.
If you could somehow re-play the same season over and over again, letting all of those circumstances play out independently each time, I would wager the team would average more wins under Garrett than under Campo.
Campo does have the distinction of being the only Dallas Cowboys coach to be "pantsed" on TV.
Huge difference. If Garrett can't bring better results than say, Dave Campo, as head coach, then why exactly is Garrett here and getting $4M/year?
Garrett has an atrocious red zone offense.
Garrett is garbage when it comes to time management.
Garrett's game planning leaves a lot to be desired.
Garrett's playcalling is suspect at best.
Garrett was late in getting Hanna involved in the offense.
Garrett was late in benching Free and going with Parnell.
Garrett was late replacing Felix Jones with Harris at kick returner.
And Garrett can't even give a press conference without looking like an idiot. Yeah, process, and stacking, and all three phases, etc. Nobody is buying whatever he is saying anymore. The gig is up. Good riddance to this fool Garrett.
A Campo coached team is by definition a 5-11 team.
Disagree. Again, as been discussed ad nauseam, you have to look at where people are coming from. 1966-1996. 26 of 31 years with a winning record...including a record 20 straight. Since then 16 years with 1 playoff win and 6 losing seasons, 3 .500 seasons and 3 9-7 records. The last 3 years are 6-10, 8-8 and 8-8. So let's stop putting things in a vacuum and acting like ONE season of 8-8 is causing all this hand wringing.

I bottled about 25 bottles and stored them away in the basement rack. about 6 months later I came home to the smell of alcohol in the house. about 10 of these had blown there corks and emptied on the floor. I took one up to the kitchen gently tried to open it with a cork screw. Well about 1/2 way out it blew the cork and a stream of mead hit the ceiling.

Friends School of Baltimore is strong on the Quaker thing--peace and equality and stuff like that. No uniforms either, which is cool. Might look easygoing because of that, but it's got a rep for having hard classes. Compare their school paper with Gilman's or Bryn Mawr's, and you'll see the difference. Sports-wise Friends is pretty strong, considering it's got fewer guys or girls to make up teams with, since it's co-ed.
by Maven2 April 18, 2007
Friends School of Baltimore is a highly expensive, co-ed prep school that is based upon quaker principles and is located in northern Baltimore City. It contains a student population of around 1,000 that mainly consists of rich, preppy, white kids who drive nice cars, reside in big houses, and live fairly spoiled lives. Student hobbies include binge drinking, parties, lacrosse, weed smoking, and doing excessive amounts of homework. The school is often subject to verbal abuse by other kids because of its gay name.
Kid with stupid parents: My parents are sending me to Friends School because they want me to experience a rigorous and better education while being involved in community full of mainly upper class, rich, preppy white kids. I hope that $17,000 a year they are going to spend is worth it.
Boy: What school do you go to?
Friends Student: I go to Friends School in Baltimore City.
Boy: Hah! Friends School? Are you all friends there?

Today on our live show theCube, Cisco SVP Global Strategic Partners Wendy Bahr said that one of the keys to the success of Cisco's Unified Computing System is the embrace of orchestration and automation through integration with BMC, CA and Cisco's own UCS Manager. "The early adopters get an added lift of having both the hardware and software expertise," she said.
Yesterday I wrote about the importance of converged infrastructure, and the sorts of automation tools that can be baked in like Cisco's process orchestrator and HP Matrix Operating Environment are great examples.
UCS has certainly come a long way. Last year after Cisco announced a massive layoff, I wrote:
Big data and cloud computing are changing organizations' networking needs. Companies like Dell, HP and Oracle have been taking advantage of this. Cisco hasn't completely missed the cloud ball – it has its Unified Computing System. But there's a perception that while it was screwing around with video, Cisco was ceding the cloud to other vendors. Cisco was expanding into other markets in a futile attempt to please investors and in so doing it may have done serious damage to its core business.
Although I got called out in the comments for making too broad a statement about "the cloud," my point was that Dell, HP and Oracle were moving into the network market via converged infrastructure offerings while Cisco was expanding into unrelated areas like video and social software. But it looks like my cynicism was unwarranted. According to Synergy Research Group, HP and IBM lead the cloud computing equipment market, but Cisco is closing the gap with 23% year-over-year improvement in cloud equipment revenue. Knuckling down on enterprise seems to be working for Cisco.
Bahr also credited Cisco's 50,000 partner channel ecosystem for the company's success in converged infrastructure. Bahr says the channel partners were quick to embrace Unified Computing System (UCS).

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've got the first set done...on to the second.
Okay that was not a big deal. I am a little concerned if I will run into a problem with my "A" fabric, as I had just the right yardage. Will deal with that if it becomes an issue.

Shadowirish, those are gorgeous. My fabrics are washed, pressed and ready to cut when I watch TV tonight. I'll have to sew them on the 15 - the 301 is still FMQ.
301 has all the fun........hehehe
same as my sewing room
Here's set #2.
Thank you irishrose.

Love the halloween pieces! way too cute!!! I am doing the boom this round with halloween fabric. I am finding it marvelously fun. wish I had enough to do a runner to but just used it all up for the swap. Maybe next one. first gotta use up all the other fabric I have. That ain't happening any hour soon.

Anyway, its too late for the Redskins to make any major adjustments to their offense at this point so I anticipate seeing some more RGIII runs. I hope for this kids sake he doesn't get injured cause from what I've seen, he is a pretty stand up guy.
Instead of hoping for RG3 to get injured in the future, I'm hoping for the Giants to upgrade their defense in the future so the Redskins don't become an automatic two losses for seasons to come.
We missed playoffs by one point. Unreal. Had we made the field goal we missed at Fed Ex field, we would have beaten RG3 and the 'Skins 19-17. We would have been the NFC East champs. Record would have been this: Final result: New York Giants- 10-6, Washington Redskins- 9-7. Revenge will be so sweet this September.
2017 Mock Draft
1st: Forrest Lamp, OG Western Kentucky
2nd: Caleb Brantley, DT Florida
3rd: Gerald Everett, TE South Alabama
4th: Dont'a Foreman, RB Texas
5th: Damontae Kazee, CB San Diego State
6th: KD Cannon, WR Baylor
7th: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB Tennessee
I wouldnt be suprised to see the Skins make a run like we did in 2010. RG3 is a beast. They are the only other team I really like in the NFC. I hate Seattle with a passion, of course hate the Vikings, Atlanta doesn't bother me that much and dont really care for SF.
Seahawks may be the last hope for wildcard teams this season. Otherwise, it migh be another all-wildcards-booted on wildcard weekend. I don't see the Colts beating the Ravens at Baltimore.
1. Blamed the season on the "poor Receivers" Trade 2014 1st Rounder, 2015 4th Rounder for Sidney Rice. Preceed to extend him for another 5 years. Make him the highest paid WR ever.
2. Now says "we need fast guys" Trade 2014 3rd rounder to Saints for Darren Sproles. Extend him for 3 years $6 mill a year.
3. Extend Adam Carriker for being "A Die hard Redskin". 4 years at $4.5 Mill a year.
4. Says they need a "Pass rush" Trades Ryan Kerrigan, 2015 1st Rounder and 5th to Colts for Dwight Freeney. Extends him an extra two years which makes another $10 mill a year.
5. Cuts Fletcher, Deangelo Hall and Moss "In with new , out with the old to free Cap space"
6. Trade Cousins to Cardinals for a 2014 5th rounder "Need to recoup some picks he says"
7. Sign Vick to a 3 year $7 Mill a year to back up RG3.
Thats Synders 7 point plan. To be the "Ultimate Team"

My favorite Quest bar!
I love the balance of peanut butter and chocolate flavor of Quest Bars! These are my favorite of the Quest Bars so far! The fact that they are sweetened with healthier sweeteners is awesome too!
I love the balance of peanut butter and chocolate!
Nothing to dislike about these bars!

A favorite
Quest Bar (Chocolate Peanut Butter) by Quest Nutrition ties with cookies and cream as a household fave. Very good flavor and not overly sweet. This one is the staple we keep the most of because the flavor never ever gets old! Love it - 5 stars!

Quest Bar, Natural Chocolate Peanut
I ordered Quest Bar to have some protein-based snacks in the house and for a quick on-the-run snack to avoid eating so much carbs. I have been using this flavor for a couple of years. I have tried many other flavors, and while this flavor is pretty much--meh--I like the consistency of the bar better than some of the gooier ones. So, it's convenience for me. Generally high-protein, low carbs are better for me for snacks, and from what I understand from nutrition experts, they are better for most. The product fits my needs just fine and, no doubt, I will order it again. I ordered from pureformulas because I ordered enough not to have to pay shipping, which holds down the price. Pureformulas was quick at filling the order, too.
I like the high protein content, the low carbs, and that the protein does not come from soy, which I avoid, mostly. The price, if you don't have to pay shipping, is a bit less or close to most high protein bars available at the super market. It's hard to find high protein bars at the supermarket that aren't loaded with soy and with way too much sugar.
I am not a fan of this flavor. It's boring. To me it tastes like neither peanut butter nor chocolate. But I have tried several others and, even-though the flavors are better, their gooier consistency is more of a negative than the boring flavor. Besides, I have yet to find a great-tasting protein bar; and I have tried a lot of them. That all said, I am looking more at the contents and convenience, not to wow myself with yumminess.

Not horrible
I love peanut butter and chocolate. They are usually my two favorite flavors of everything, so when I tried Quest Bar, I expected it to be really good. It doesn't really taste like chocolate peanut butter and the flavor is weird. I love quest bars, but I won't be buying this one any time soon.
It's ok.

Great tasting bar.
Quest Bar by Quest Nutrition tastes better when put in the toaster oven.
Best when warm.
Not that great out of the package.

Quest Chocolate Peanut Butter
This was my very first box of Quest Bars. I love all things peanut butter, so I was excited to try these. Straight out of the wrapper, the bar was not tasty at all. After seeing multiple postings about people baking with Quest bars, I decided to put it in the toaster over for a few minutes. WOW! Huge difference in flavor and texture! Definitely an amazing bar after the toaster oven.. the Quest Protein Bar became a Quest Cookie Bar.
It tastes awesome baked in the toaster oven.
It tastes poor straight out of the wrapper.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter
I like Quest Bar by Quest Nutrition but it is a bit dry for what I imagined. It has the chocolate & peanut butter taste!
Good chocolate flavor & good peanut butter flavor.

Quest Bar (Natural Chocolate Peanut Butter) by Quest Nutrition is so good! Not as good as the peanut butter cup flavor, but this one has a lot less fat in it.
Really good flavor for only 5 grams of fat!

Jim Emerson, FloydReports.com
When asked about his personal war against Libya and criticism about ignoring congress in a blatant disregard of the War Powers Act the President brushed both aside as just "noise". Obama has no intention to seek congressional approval as required by law. The President wants Americans to ignore the fact that the incursion into Libya was supposed to be a US Lead effort to establish a UN mandated "No Fly Zone" and no more.
He wants us to overlook the fact that this "kinetic military exercise" which started as a NATO air operations is now an overt effort to assassinate Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi.
Congress Strikes Back
In an effort to justify the president's contempt for the law, legal adviser to the State Department Harold Koh stated "From the outset, we noted that the situation in Libya does not constitute a war". Outraged, Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) shot back, "When you have an operation that goes on for months, costs billions of dollars, where the United States is providing two-thirds of the troops, even under the NATO fig leaf, where they're dropping bombs that are killing people, where you're paying your troops offshore combat pay and there are areas of prospective escalation — something I've been trying to get a clear answer from with this administration for several weeks now, and that is the possibility of a ground presence in some form or another, once the Qaddafi regime expires — I would say that's hostilities."
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) accused the White House of "sticking a stick in the eye of Congress," saying it had done "a great disservice to our country."
On the other hand, Senators John Kerry ( D. Mass.) and John McCain (R. Az.) have passed a resolution supporting the president's action while asking the House and fellow senators to forget how president Obama didn't obey….

An ounce of prevention is worth . a pound of cure.
The public works departments in both Reno, Nev., and Hernando County, Fla., have taken this adage to heart by launching traffic signal preventive maintenance (PM) programs.
Proactive maintenance performed on a traffic signal results in a lower life-cycle cost. Thus, as more preventive maintenance tasks are performed, the overall number of problems or failures also decreases.
Each public works department had different traffic signal issues to tackle.
Hernando County—in a semitropical region—maintains 72 traffic signals in a 478-square-mile area with five full-time employees. The county also has experienced rapid population growth—more than 200% since 1980—and is transitioning from a rural to urban area.
Reno—a desert region—maintains 220 traffic signals in a 75-square-mile area with eight full-time traffic employees. Unlike Hernando County, Reno is urbanized and experiencing a considerable, though lower, population growth rate of 34%.
Why Now?
Reno and Hernando County had been performing maintenance on a problem-only basis with very few regular maintenance activities scheduled. The goal of the program is not necessarily to replace assets, but to extend their useful life and functionality. The life-cycle of signal components can be easily projected because the life of a traffic signal component is based on the amount of time it's used, with similar daily usage lengths. Components—such as bulbs that need to be replaced—are included as part of this maintenance effort and are determined by the same time-based plan.
Labor can be the most costly component of preventive maintenance. Preventive tasks focus on making sure each signal or other component operates correctly—all the time. By establishing the proper maintenance cycle, an agency can project an adequate inventory of parts and components.
Reno in 1998 and Hernando County in 2001 each established a traffic signal preventive maintenance program after an eight-month evaluation by LAConsulting Inc., Manhattan Beach, Calif. Each had a complete operations review that identified the need for a plan. The Reno review was funded by the Regional Transportation Agency, Washoe County, and the City of Sparks using $54,000 in gas tax revenues. Hernando County's $33,000 review was funded by general funds.
The reviews identified several opportunities for improvement for both agencies, including scheduling work by activity, implementing a maintenance plan for traffic signals, and linking the work to an annual schedule to establish accountability.

Just started gluten free and the staff was very helpful. one of the workers had Celiac and explained that everything was gluten free except flour tortillas. They said they could wipe down everything if allergy was real bad.
Everything is GF except their flour tortillas. Ask them to wipe down the tortilla warmer for the corn tortillas, or get a bowl. They'll also change gloves. Very good!
12175 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, CA 91604
The girl who told my wife that the burrito was gluten free DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. She said, "Gluten free? Yes." My wife is extremely ill now just a couple of hours later.
1415 Boston-Providence Turnpike, Norwood, MA 02062
ingredients mostly GF by nature. good fast food option.
8600 N Boardwalk Ave., Kansas City, MO 64154
Worked great for me. Always ask the first person to change their gloves and walk you down the food line. Good option on the way to the airport.
150 E. 44th St., New York, NY 10017
High prices ($8.50 for a chicken bowl, $9.60 for steak) and very small portions. That being said, the food was delicious.
3780 Marketplace NW, Rochester, MN 55901
Chipotle is a first choice pick for me. It's healthy and I never get sick here. Love it!
4910 E 2nd St, Casper, WY 82609
Passing through Casper on our way to Cheyenne and the staff was very friendly and helpful. For Celiac persons they changed the spoons on everything that I wanted. Very Gluten free friendly.
19898 Langley Bypass #110, Langley, BC V3A 4Y1, Canada
First time. Terrible corn tortillas. Felt rushed thru the line, mediocre tacos. Chips and gauc were excellent. All tortillas go in the same warmer. Scooper touches every taco on the assembly line.
13975 Lakeside Circle, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Love these folks for a quick grab and go meal! The employees are SO kind about everything and really work with you. Have yet to get sick at this location, and we go here at least once a week.
4698 Vestal Parkway East, Vestal, NY 13850
I have had good luck not getting sick here. There are lots of places there can be cross contamination but as long as I don't eat anything towards the end of the counter closest to them (because they drag flour tortillas down the line and I've noticed them dipping into the bins of ingredients), I seem to be all right.
911 Massachusetts, Lawrence, KS 66044
This particular Chipotle is the best! And safe for optional dairy-free as well because they keep it tidy.
10320 Federal Blvd., Federal Heights, CO 80260
I eat here often. I ask them to change their gloves and generally get a burrito bowl or salad. I haven't gotten cross contaminated.
4204 Highway 75 N, Sherman, TX 75090
The only place I can eat out safely. The staff is always on point when I order my gluten free bowl. I have visited other locations in the DFW area, but they just don't rise to the level of service I found here in Sherman. Thanks for making my GF life a little easier!
583 Stillwater Ave, Bangor, ME 04402
I like going to chipotle because they are generally educated on gluten free diets. All of the menu items are gluten free except the flour tortillas so you can get a burrito bowl, salad, corn tortilla tacos, and chips. There have been a couple of times tho when the staff didn't seem educated. You have to tell them at the beginning of the line GF/celiac so they change their gloves, get new lettuce and cheese, and change the spoons. A couple times they messed up but cleaned everything and made me a new bowl. Just watch them carefully and make a complaint online if it's unsafe and they can train better.
21031 Tripleseven Rd., Sterling, VA 20165
If you get a bowl then everything else is glutenfree!
7229 W. Central Ave., Toledo, OH 43617
Stopped here many times. The always change there gloves for me before my order
The staff go above and beyond to keep you safe. They change gloves and spoons and are really nice about it. Most of the food is gluten-free. Always a great experience.
356 Amherst St, Nashua, NH 03063
I come to this chipotle at least once a week. They are super accommodating and clean down the whole line before starting your order they also have separate lettuce and cheese. I have celiac disease and have never gotten sick after eating here.
4901 W. Park, Suite 539, Plano, TX 75093
Ugh cannot say enough about them! They immediately take off their gloves as soon as you say gluten/wheat allergy and will even get you ingredients from the back if you ask! So nice about it too!
19898 Langley Bypass #110, Langley, BC V3A 4Y1, Canada
Everything is gluten free except one flour wrap. Staff was great when I said my 4 yr old has Celiacs, washed hands changed gloves etc right away. My daughter loved the chicken taco's! It's usually so hard to find GF on kids menu, chipotle was great! Only downside is it's always busy so seating is hard to find.
2311 Telegraph Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704
They always change gloves for me and it works great with a bowl.
10387 South State Street, Sandy, UT 84070
they were so careful to make sure there was no cross contamination with gluten. this location is great!
1716 NW Chipman Rd., Lee's Summit, MO 64081
*** Please write honest reviews so others have up to date information on choices*** As long as you request hand wash, gloves, and tongs for cheese and lettuce you'll be fine. amazing food. I go often.
18003 Garland Groh Blvd., Hagerstown, MD 21740
lots of cross-contamination
1100 Truman St, San Fernando, CA 91340
This is my GO TO place for a quick gluten free meal especially when I travel or don't have time to research places to eat on a new area. I get the beef Barbacoa Burrito Bowl. Since I'm allergic to dairy as well, no sour cream or cheese of course. It's important to note that their Tortilla chips ARE GLUTEN FREE! This is rare because so many Mexican places fry their tortillas with oil that also fries flour products, which of course causes cross-contamination issues. They don't ask you specifically if you have an allergy, which would be a nice feature, but they do make your burrito bowl right in front of you so you do see the food prep for yourself.

love the burrito bowl with extra fajita veggies thrown in and guacamole
895 North Academy, Colorado Springs, CO 80909
the best in town. period. Amazing staff and they know exactly how to handle allergies
2301 Glades Rd., Unit C, Boca Raton, FL 33431
The guy seemed annoyed to change his gloves and said there was no wheat in any ingredients there, that the tortillas were made from flour. I tried to explain that it was wheat flour but he still seemed unconvinced. Lack of awareness aside, he did change his gloves and the meal was fine for my Celiac daughter (hard shell tacos).
1158 Locust St., Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Order a bowl and ask them to change gloves. I am really sensitive and I didn't get sick. Food is also great!
1480 North Orchard Rd, Aurora, IL 60507
good, not expensive and if you really want to stay away from gluten, take the bowl. good place for cealic like me
4329 Far Hills Ave, Kettering, OH 45429
My son had celiacs and the staff is very helpful. I asked for a gf order due to allergy and they washed their hands and put on new gloves. They got out new containers of cheese and sour cream to eliminate cross contamination. We will be back!
3471 Steelyard Dr., Cleveland, OH 44109
They were totally unfamiliar with how to prepare a dish gluten-free. We explained the process to them, and they put the effort in, with some minor hiccups. If you're embarrassed by demanding special treatment, this is not the Chipotle for you.
6455 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050
Gluten free options with quality ingredients.
213 I-45, Huntsville, TX 77340
Their allergen list claims that the only thing containing gluten or wheat is the flour tortillas.
2801 Concord Road, York, PA 17402
They always make an effort at this location to keep things safe.
2617 David H McLeod Boulevard, Florence, SC 29501
Love love love. I get the bowl and have them change their gloves. The chips are great too. No problems yet!!!!!
5006 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, IL 60014
Everyone knows how good Chipotle is. If you let them know you are a celiac they will change gloves for you and everything.
5100 Rufe Snow Drive, North Richland Hills, TX 76180
Chipotle is great! I go there often and every time the staff is so friendly. Let them know that you have a gluten allergy and ask them to change their gloves and wash their hands. I never had any issues with their food. Obviously avoid the flour tortillas but everything else is great! When they change their gloves and wash their hands that same person takes my order all the way down. They also give me the fresh lettuce that isn't out to avoid cross contamination. Great experience, and great food!
55 Dodge Street, Beverly, MA 01915
Love ❤ love ❤ it go NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
435 South Duff Avenue #102, Ames, IA 50010
The person making my burrito bowl always changes their gloves before starting to prep my burrito bowl. I have Celiac Disease and I am able to order all meats and salsa - everything is gluten free except for the tortillas.
235 S. State, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
I tried it here for the first time recently and was very impressed. You can look online to see that the corn taco shells are gluten free, and that's what I ordered. They were great!
500 W. Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462
Love this location. Always change their gloves and never give me an attitude or make me feel stupid or rolled their eyes when I say I have a gluten allergy yes I know it's not a real allergy- celiac is a disease but they may not know that. One day I was there and they gave me an actual whole free meal along with chips and guacamole because I was so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!
6415 N. Illinois St., Fairview Heights, IL 62208
Based on others' reviews, I stopped at the Chipotle in Fairview Heights, IL, hungry and eager to try their menu. I walked in, up to the counter, and asked for gluten free options or a menu. The counter stared at me as if I had asked him for drugs, and looked around helplessly. I told him to forget and walked out, not wanting to stand around while he hunted up someone.
If you tell them it's gluten free, they will cook the soft flour tacos wrapped in foil so they don't touch the same surface as the flour tortillas. They change gloves, and will even get lettuce, etc from a fresh container if you want. The same person will take you down the line so as to avoid cross contamination in adding toppings. They do a great job at this location with gluten free! They change gloves & seem pretty careful. Every once in awhile I come across a newbie, but the managers absolutely have it down (just ask)! They seriously have it down. Just tell them you can't do gluten. We love this location. Awesome staff!
601 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20005
i have celiac disease and find it hard to find truly good food. chipotle is one of few amazing, but allergen friendly places I enjoy. i tell my friends and family its my favorite restaurant because of there many gluten free options. ps: if you go, try the guac 👌🏽
1801 E Victory Dr #101, Savannah, GA 31404
This is the best Chipotle in Savannah! They are familiar with Celiac Disease and take precautions to make every dining experience easy. All I have to tell them is that it's a gluten free order, and they are accommodating for every need and prepare it safely. I have never been disappointed here.
4489 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214
I really enjoyed their salad bowls with the double the meat and guacamole!
1040 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403
Great gluten free option as most ingredients are gluten free. Quick service. Appreciated having this near the Convention Center for a quick bite at lunch.
5955 Kingstowne Towne Center, Alexandria, VA 22315
Asked three times for spoons and gloves to be changed. Nobody seemed to care or understand. Explained I am sensitive to cross contamination. The person starting my order was going to use the same bowl he was holding before changing gloves. Unbelievable experience. Do not come here unless they get some training.
6210 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Celebration, FL 34747
standard Chipotle fare, but usually one of my go-to's when traveling as I know the burrito bowls will be safe to eat

"If you avoid gluten, don't eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order. You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips, soft corn, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have a small amount of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field."

Abingdon program explores the paranormal
ABINGDON, Va. - It's getting to be that time of year, Halloween, when we believe in ghosts and spirits.
For some it's not just a seasonal thing, it's a search to contact those on the other side.
One of the more historic haunted sites in Abingdon invites those in that search to be a part of a talk with a third-generation psychic medium during two programs this season.
The historic district of Downtown Abingdon holds a lot of mysteries and ghost stories. One of the hot spots is the Star Museum, a converted newspaper office, thought to be one of the most haunted sites in Virginia.
"We've been featured in five or six books and that's on the strength of our signature ghost, my great grandfather W.H. Lyon," says Robert Weisfeld with the museum.
The museum is featuring iconic movie queen Mae West. She had a taste for the unknown and the spirit world beyond. "Our first evidence of her dabbling in spiritualism is either 1926 or 1927, and she was trying to contact Valentino," Weisfeld said.
It's the perfect company for a program for a talk with a physic medium.
Unlike West, this medium says she has a line of communication with another world. "I embrace this and I always have but I just, I'm not just super public about it. The people that need to know, they know. The closer I get to having more time during retirement the more I embrace it," medium Pat Bussard said.
Just like West and her friends during the early part of the last century, there are skeptics about such a gift. "If they ever see a headline where a psychic medium gives the lottery numbers, then they'll believe. But the gift doesn't work like that. I'm what they call a spirit lead psychic medium, which means I hear spirit and the spirit will sometimes show me visions. Some people call this an angel," Bussard said.
The museum hopes to study this gift during its programs, not as a gimmick but as something real, just like those funny feelings we all get from time to time.
"I think when you feel that vibration you ought to tune in on it. It's a sign of life after death," Weisfeld said.

It was a great win for them in week one vs GB. But we have seen that GB is not the same as they have been in recent years. The 49ers also beat the Bills and Jets, but only lost to the Vikes.
The Giants oline is playing a little bit better since D2 is out (and I have been a big fan of his, but the tackle spot exposes him). Recall that last year during the season we had a chance to win it on the final drive, but KG had a horrible game plan that day. All those 3-4 wr sets in the shotgun & calling HB draws, and the tip on the last play by smith I believe. Only thing that still annoys me to this day is not allowing Eli to work the no huddle/hurry up offense when the offense is struggling and can use it to get in a rhythm/tempo when it is obvious either Eli, the Wrs, or both need it. I believe that cost us the Eagles game more so than Barden, even though that was huge in itself.
If our line has improve as did our run game, and the other guys besides cruz can make plays as they generally have been the last few weeks we have a solid shot. But our defense, especially defensive ends and run stopping has to seal up the holes this week. I am still not sold on Alex Smith. He showed how bad he was when going to the SB was on the line. Eli could have put much bigger numbers up that day if it wasn't for the weather.
It should be another good game, to bad we have to go back there for a 3rd time in the last year practically.

text: Let me start this off by saying I'm a Michigan State fan, so I loved watching this kid play in college. From hearing Coughlin's post-practice comments and some comments by beat-writers, apparently he's impressing in camp, at least to the extent that he's adapting to his outside position, and still has the versatility to be a back up at MLB. I know most of you thought that Jones was the one on the bubble before camp, so i was curious if you guys still feel that way. I honestly hate looking at the linebacker position because there are so many guys that i see as starters or backups, i really don't know who i would want cut.

Let's Share!
so as most of you already know JackieG and i are sharing the cost of a super cute but expensive (for a one-time use item) cake topper
and kristeen, starg8zer and i are sharing an exquisite Dana Saylor bracelet
soooo - just wanted to suggest to all the lovelies here if there's something you want - but do not want to pay the full price - let's save this thread and keep it alive by asking each other to share
if there are 3 or 4 soon-to-be Mrs Ws or Mrs Bs who want a shiny sparkly cake topper - but dont want to spend $100 for it - if your dates are far away enough to allow for shipping - why not share the expense??
or if you need favor boxes or cello bags, but you only need like 100 instead of 500, why not buy in bulk (for the discount) and share the cost?? www.uline.com has great prices
if anyone is doing a black/white/green wedding after august, my "i Do" letters are up for grabs
just a thought since we're all trying to cut costs everywhere...

I never thought I would have to say this but Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson lost the game for me this week

I never thought I would have to say this but Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson lost the game for me this week
What 3 WRs would you start out of the 4 I would consider? Nicks, Megatron, A Brown, Blackmon. Right now I'm starting all of them but Nicks.. I am considering sitting Megatron this week if he is missing a lot of practice
I'm at a crossroads here... do I start Russel Wilson vs Arizona, or do I bite the bullet on my "ABSOLUTELY NO EAGLES ON MY ROSTER" rule and pick up Nick Foles vs Dallas?
Wilson is only a marginal QB1, anyway. Foles in that offense has the capacity to out-produce him consistently.
If you really don't want an Eagle, you could reach for Mike Glennon. Great match-up this week.
Well, i bit the bullet on Foles, at least for this week. We're not really in contention anyway so it's less problematic for me.
How about for my WR2: Rueben Randle (who despite his route issues has posted good scores the past 2 weeks, practically won me my match last week, and going into a favorable matchup vs MIN), Anquan Boldin vs TEN, or Harry Douglas vs TB? I've been kinda gimped by Julio's exit from the season, and have a bunch of marginal flex guys rotating at WR2.
which D this week?
Steelers vs BAL
Dolphins vs BUF

Immaculate Hearth Church celebrates 58th anniversary
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Crosslake celebrated its 58th anniversary and combined the celebration with an event that is part of the Catholic Year of Faith as proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI.
As part of the Year of Faith, Catholics are urged to make a pilgrimage to the place of their baptism and renew their vows.
The parish participated in a Eucharistic procession with prayers and songs, from the current church on County Road 37 to the site of the original church on County Road 66.
Once there, Father Ryan Moravitz led the congregation in renewing its baptismal promises and gave a brief homily recognizing the establishment of the church in Crosslake.
The congregation processed back to the church for the celebration of Benediction.

Helen Hunt stuffing a fat dildo deep in her assFriday, April 23rd, 2010
Well, well…who would've thought there was some lesbian connection between Helen Hunt and Christina Applegate? Why not I guess. They're both blonde bombshells with nice racks and it would be hot to see them live in action fingering and licking each other's creamy pussy and assholes. Unfortunately, there were no leaked pics of these two engaging in some graphic dirty lesbian action but guess what we got?
That's right. Sweet pussy ain't it? You just gotta love these pics of Helen Hunt stuffing a fat dildo deep in her ass while her bushy cunt is in view. At her age it's amazing how her pussy is shaped like a teen's. I just want to jump in the screen and start fucking it nice and rough. But for now, all I got are the rest of her extremely dirty pics here.

"Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time that has ever been devised," wrote Apsley Cherry-Garrard in a deceptively jaunty introduction to this classic story of bravery and fortitude first published in 1922. The story he relates is of Scott's last expedition to the Antarctic, from its departure from England in 1910 to its arrival in New Zealand in 1913; it is one of the most famous and tragic in the annals of exploration. Driven by an obsession for scientific knowledge, these brave polar explorers embarked on a journey into the unknown, testing their endurance by pushing themselves to the ultimate physical and mental limits as they surveyed the striking and mammoth land that lies far to the south.
Cherry-Garrard was himself a member of the expedition that had two goals: to discover as much as was scientifically possible about the terrain and habitat of Antarctica, and to be the first to reach the South Pole. The party was plagued by bad luck, weather conditions of unanticipated ferocity, and the physical deterioration of the party on the last part of the journey. Confronted by the shattering knowledge that Roald Amundsen had reached the South Pole a month before them, Scott's party then had to negotiate the last, heroic part of their journey, a doomed attempt which has entered modern mythology.
The Worst Journey in the World is the inside story of this most famous of journeys and is truly one of the best and most moving books of travel ever written. Join Scott's expedition as he and his team venture deep into the frozen unknown. This volume is the second in the continuing series of Explorers Club books.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Perhaps the greatest first-hand account of polar exploration.
In his introduction to the harrowing story of the Scott expedition to the South Pole, Apsley Cherry-Garrard states that "Polar Exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised." This is his gripping account of an expedition gone disastrously wrong.
One of the youngest members of Scott's team, the author was later part of the rescue party that eventually found the frozen bodies of Scott and three men who had accompanied him on the final push to the Pole. Prior to this sad denouement, Cherry-Garrard's account is filled with details of scientific discovery and anecdotes of human resilience in a harsh environment, supported by diary excerpts and accounts from other explorers.
Summing up the reasons for writing the book, Cherry-Garrard says:
"To me, and perhaps to you, the interest in this story is the men, and it is the spirit of the men, "the response of the spirit," which is interesting rather than what they did or failed to do: except in a superficial sense, they never failed... It is a story about human minds with all kinds of ideas and questions involved, which stretch beyond the furthest horizons."

We've all heard the saying "It takes a village to raise a child," yet some of us don't understand the full meaning until we have children of our own. Rather than criticize each other for the parenting decisions we've made, let's start to look at ways we can support one another. After all, we're all mothers with a common goal -- raising healthy and happy children.

Chronic primary insomnia is a highly prevalent condition, affecting up to 15% of the population. The condition is associated with daytime fatigue, lack of concentration, and decreased quality of life. Most people with chronic primary insomnia go untreated, because of a desire to avoid medication or lack of access to quality non-drug treatments. Therefore, an affordable, easy to use, and effective computer to help assess and treat insomnia symptoms could bring treatment to this population.
Comparison: We are comparing a new handheld computer that uses cognitive-behavioral treatment principles to a popular self-help manual for the treatment of primary insomnia symptoms.

U.S.-Israeli media magnate Haim Saban agreed to buy a controlling stake in Israel's second largest telecoms operator, Partner Communications
Saban Capital (Los Angeles, USA) will pay Israeli holding company Scailex Corp
Israel's mobile phone industry was turned upside down this year with the entry of six new operators, sparking a price war and leading to many customers switching companies.
Last month Bezeq Israel Telecom
Scailex began talks with Saban last month about a possible sale of Partner, which operates under the Orange brand.
Saban is familiar with the Israeli communications market, having been part of the group that controlled Bezeq from 2005 to 2009.
This familiarity brings with it an advantage at a strategic and at a regulatory level, Ilanit Sherf, an analyst at Israeli brokerage Psagot, said.
"Saban comes from the content side, another advantage to Partner on the eve of its entry into the multi-channel television market and its transformation from a cellular company into a communications company expected to supply several services," she said.
Harel Finance analyst Rami Rozen said the deal was positive for Partner's shareholders, as the company will benefit from a strong and well-connected owner.
Scailex - which held 44.5 percent of Partner - will keep 13.8 percent, while Saban will have 30.7 percent. Suny
Partner's shares closed up 3.3 percent to 25.47 shekels in Tel Aviv.

Boulder, CO – September 29, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, today announced that it has detected malicious software being propagated as campaign videos for John McCain and Barack Obama. Hackers are taking advantage of unsuspecting users during the U.S. Presidential election season by utilizing the Gnutella file sharing network and seeding it with malware disguised as material relevant to the campaigns. This file sharing network is commonly accessed by clients such as LimeWire and FrostWire.
A search of the FrostWire network indicated that of the 34 search results for "Obama Speech" 14 contained active malware while five of the 19 results for "McCain Speech" were found to be harboring malware.
"Peer to peer networks pose some of the greatest security risks on Internet," said Paul Piccard, director, Threat Research, Webroot. "Because P2P networks lack the security measures found in enterprise networks or trusted Websites, users of these networks may put themselves or their companies at increased risk by downloading malicious content or leaking confidential data."
The most common malware variant spreading through this method is W32/Zipwire. Users become infected with the malware after downloading a zip file with a name such as "Democratic Convention 2008 - Barack Obama Acceptance Speech.zip." The contents of these zip files contain executable files (such as Setup.exe). When run, these files infect the host machine with random malware, including rogue antivirus applications, which detect fake security issues on the infected machine in order to entice users to buy the rogue application for disinfection. Other malware threats such as password stealers and backdoors can be downloaded as well, which may give a hacker remote access to the infected machine or allow them to gather personal data such as usernames and passwords.
According to the Webroot® Threat Research Center, this threat poses a number of different risks. For example, once infected the computer can be accessed remotely, which allows for the potential installation of new malware. These could include system monitors that spy on the user in an attempt to gather the information needed –including social security numbers, bank accounts, home addresses and more - to steal their identity.
"Webroot is focused on identifying emerging threats so that we can help consumers avoid being attacked and compromised," said Paul Lipman, Webroot's senior vice president and general manager of Consumer Business. "However, hackers are constantly evolving their attack vectors so it is essential for PC users to have best-in-class antispyware, antivirus and firewall software installed on their computers to ensure that their personal and confidential information is safe."
Webroot recommends several steps to users to prevent this type of malware attack:
- Always have a current version of antispyware, antivirus and firewall product;
- Never download free product or purchase them from unknown Web sites and vendors, or peer to peer networks;
- Never click on a link while visiting a peer to peer site;
- Never purchase a product that is the result of an unknown alert;
- Make sure the computer is up-to-date by always installing new Microsoft or Apple security updates;
- Make it a point to check your credit through one of the three credit bureaus; and,
- Use a credit card that has sufficient fraud protection and never use a debit card online

Units of Study
ECOS3012 - Strategic Behaviour
Semester 1, 2013 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Abhijit Sengupta
To think and act strategically, one needs to evaluate the effect of one's actions on the actions of others. As most economic decisions are strategic, such as the decision to lower a price or introduce a new tax, economics, if it is to avoid simplistic models, requires a theoretical framework capable of illuminating strategic behaviour. This unit offers a comprehensive, critical introduction to the theory which purports, not only to satisfy this theoretical need, but also potentially to unify the social sciences: game theory. After examining important concepts of game theory, the unit investigates the repercussions for the theory of bargaining and for the evolution of social institutions.
