I am using Ubuntustudio 10.04 and Alsa 1.0.23.
The 0404 plays analog out is working.
Recently, I tried to use the SPDIF output of 0404 USB.
But get error messages such as:
snd-pcm failed OR pcm_hw_params_setting
depending on the playback software used.
I cannot find the "snd-pcm" nor "pcm_hw_params_setting" strings in config files.
Please advise.
I'm was having the same issue under Fedora 16, when I turned down the master volume in gnome only the left channel was going down.
I fixed it in Sound Settings > Hardware, selected the E-Mu and changed the profile to Digital Stereo Duplex IEC958.
Hope it works for you too !
New Flash plugin 11.3 (part of Chrome 20) works pretty bad for me with E-Mu 0204. When I playback audio in some music player, and open page (in Chrome) with Flash content at the same time, audio become crackling until I stop playback and terminate flash plugin (or close the Chrome). The other workaround is move audio channels from E-Mu to integrated audio adepter (or to HDMI audio output) in pavucontrol.
Looks like this Flash update expose some deep ALSA bug (or maybe PulseAudio, but I really doubt in this). With 11.2 In Firefox this bug is not reproducible.
So, anyone experience same issue?
Has anybody ever got this thing to record at 24/192? Mine plays back 24/192 flac files w/ no problems and it can record at 24/96 by using the following command:
arecord -f S24_3LE -c2 -r 96000 -D hw:1,0 >test2496.wav
But, if I try this command:
arecord -f S24_3LE -c2 -r 192000 -D hw:1,0 >test24192.wav
I get nothing but static.
I've read that you have to use the windows driver to set the sample rate. Is this true?? If this can play at 192khz I'd think that _somehow_ it could record...
P.S. This was tested using Ubuntu 12.10 which has alsa 1.0.25
Tested 24/96 (worked) and 24/192 (didn't work)
I also found out (I don't do much recording and usually stick with 41.1) that jack uses "SND_PCM_FMT_S32_LE, which is the format used by all current 24 bit audio cards except for some USB interfaces that actually use 24 bits rather than 24-packed-in-32-bits." does that affect any of you (like when recording in ardour)?
Jack sits on top of alsa so that really has nothing to do with the problem. The is issue is with the alsa driver itself.
If arecord doesn't work at 192khz, then NOTHING is going to work - not jack, not pulseaudio, not sox, not <insert software here>. ALL that stuff sits on top of alsa. It's kind of like saying "hey my telephone doesn't work" when you don't even have dial tone when you pick up the line.
On a more positive note though, I did install the very last 0404 driver ever released from creative labs onto a Windows Vista laptop (I feel sooo dirty), upgraded the firmware to ver8.??, and was able to record at 24/192 using audacity with the directsound drivers. So this thing *can* record at 192khz but it is a 100% proprietary solution.
Now, from what I can understand, in the windows world, directsound has been deprecated by MS and now sits on top of some other layer of software. HOWEVER, there are also some OTHER drivers called ASIO drivers that are similar to alsa in the linux world, that give you direct low-level access to the sound card itself.
Soooo, based on this information, *I think*, to truly get 24/192 recordings from this sucker, you have to (in Windows)
1) have an ASIO driver installed for your sound card (this may or may not be included with the driver that comes from creative labs)
2) capture sound using some software that uses the ASIO interface
I know this is a super long winded post but I've been trying to figure out what's the cheapest possible way to record high-quality 24/192 digital audio for taping live music. And from what I can tell, a used E-MU 0404 is *ALMOST* there. If I have to use windows, I guess I will but it would be much simpler if this thing worked with linux. Or, maybe I'll settle for 24/96 like everyone else.
I know it's insane to even want to record at 24/192 but hey, who cares, disk space is cheap and if it's good enough for Neil Young, it's good enough for me.
OK, I have confirmed that there is no way to record 24/192 w/ linux and the e-mu 0404. BUT, I did get it to record 24/192 on a vista laptop by installing the latest drivers, compiling ASIO support into audacity and finally, then I can export 24/192 wav and/or flac files. Not elegant but it works.

Reviews of this property
The room and the shared place is really clean and nice. But unfortunately, the room is located beside a main street which is too noisy and the bed is just shared the same wall with the sink of the kitchen. The toilet is also really loud, because water of toilet after flushing is floating for more than 10 min. I read the preview before I book, but didn't image how loud it could be. We couldn't sleep well during our 4 nights stay.
I still recommend this place to stay due to the clean. It may be fine for people who gets up really early during vacation, cause the kitchen will be used starting 8 AM but the street noise starts around 6 AM cannot be avoided. Maybe bring ear plugs will help you a bit.
landlord friendly, very clean and welcoming home. highly recommended!
padrone di casa gentilissimo, casa molto pulita ed accogliente. molto consigliato!
We had a pleasant stay in the room with the private garden. The noice from the street didn't bother us much, we slept like babies. Wonderful big bathroom. We used the kitchen a lot and everyone was very nice, especially nice to our Little son (thanks).
Nice room, very clean and almost new (same as in the photo) with the ability to cook and eat meals in the kitchen (very advantageous especially in Florence), despite the noise of the street in the evening and nighttime mosquito ! (Do not forget the mosquito repellent in season!) Significant Assistance of Dominico-level visits to carry on Florence! Again thank you!
Chambre très agréable, très propre et pratiquement neuve (idem que sur la photo) avec la possibilité de cuisiner et prendre ses repas dans la cuisine (très avantageux surtout sur Florence) et ce, malgré les bruits de la rue en soirée et les moustiques nocturnes ! (Ne pas oublier la crème anti-moustique en saison!) Aide appréciable apportée par Dominico au niveau des visites à réaliser sur Florence ! Encore merci !
The hosts are extremely friendly and welcoming. The room is nice and spacious, including the adjoining bathroom. The location is about 20 minutes walk from the center. The bus stops just in front of the door and also runs directly to the center. The only downside is the traffic. The room is on the street side of a busy road with a traffic light at the door, which means constant traffic stops and clears. If you are a poor sleeper, this is very annoying. After the first sleepless night brought earplugs for the remaining nights outcome. Earbud slept well, so do not! Then the room will do just fine for a few days Florence!
De gastheren zijn uitermate vriendelijk en gastvrij. De kamer is ook mooi en ruim, inclusief de aangrenzende badkamer. De ligging is op ong. 20 minuten lopen van het centrum. De bus stopt nagenoeg voor de deur en rijdt ook direct naar het centrum. Enig minpunt is het verkeerslawaai. De kamer ligt aan de straatkant van een drukke weg met een stoplicht voor de deur, wat inhoudt dat constant verkeer stopt en optrekt. Als je een slechte slaper bent, is dit heel vervelend. Na de eerste slapeloze nacht brachten oordopjes voor de overige nachten uitkomst. Met oordopjes wel goed geslapen, dus vergeet die niet! Dan voldoet de kamer prima voor een paar dagen Florence!!
Sono molto soddisfatta. Camera comoda, pulita, riscaldata e con bagno ristrutturato. Proprietario gentilissimo. La camera affaccia direttamente sulla strada ed è quindi rumorosa ma non ho avuto problemi a dormire personalmente. Anche il letto era molto comodo. La camera dista mezz'ora a piedi da Santa Maria novella ma ci sono diversi autobus che la collegano bene al centro e passano spesso. Le fermate degli autobus sono vicinissime all' alloggio. Unica pecca le pareti della camera sono talmente sottili da sentire tutto quello che accade nella cucina comune difronte e viceversa.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The room is perfectly clean and somewhat well-equipped (except for the tiny TV). However, they have Inconvenient check-in and check-out policies. We arrived after 8pm and had to pay a 15 euro check in fee. Check out is at 10am which is way too early for being in vacation.
Nice house in the center of Firenze, easy to park the car in the street, a good restaurant near the house. Warmly welcome and bif comfortable romm. Good advices to visit the town.

Santorini Estiatorio will emphasize the 'Greek' in Greektown
Athina Papas was only 25 and a recent graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York when she opened Mosaic.
But her vision for the space has evolved.
Papas, 32, says the conversion of Mosaic, which closed in August, to the Greek-themed restaurant Santorini Estiatorio is as much about her desire to keep her Greek heritage alive as it is a business decision.
Papas says her childhood memories are filled with Sunday family lunches at Pegasus, where her family would sit for hours enjoying both the food and each others' company.
But over the last few years, Papas said the number of Greek restaurants in Greektown has dwindled.
"When Mosaic opened, there were seven Greek restaurants in Greektown. Now there are three," Papas said. "We are seeing representation die down so thought it was important to make sure our kids know about their culture."
Papas said Santorini will focus on Greek culture and food, like you would find in Greece.
Appetizers will cost about $10, while the most expensive entrees will cost about $35. The menu has not yet been finalized, yet Papas said it will have flaming cheese.
"You have to have that," she said.
Santorini will have 220 seats, accordion windows opening up to the street and outdoor seating for 40.
The new design is more rustic than kitschy, featuring a bright color scheme, wrecked woods and natural materials like the hull of a boat, which anchors the décor.
"We wanted to do an island theme with light colors like you would actually see in Greece, not what you think you would see," Papas said. "When you walk in the other Greek restaurants they are very — typical."
Papas said the family spent about $500,000 on the redesign, a price she says is worth it if it brings Greek culture to people's attention.
"We want people to not just correlate the casino with Greektown," Papas said. "That's why the casino came here. It was already a popular area."
The restaurant is scheduled to open by Nov. 1.

Puebloans pay tribute to the fallen
PUEBLO, Colo. - Dozens gathered at the Colorado Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Pueblo to remember the country's fallen military members.
Veterans from World War II to Vietnam honored friends who never returned home from war.
Salvadore Torres, a U.S. Marine, points to the name of Porfirio Solano, one of hundreds of names etched on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Torres was friends with Solano and his brother. On Memorial Day, Torres reflected on all those he knew who've lost their lives while serving.
"You know I think most veterans are a little hesitant to talk about that. I'll be honest I don't know the numbers no more," Torres said.
The ceremony was organized by Pueblo Veterans for Peace. The group, known for being against war, says its tribute is not the typical Memorial Day salute.
"We feel that there has to be an alternative to the glorification of Memorial Day. We think that Memorial Day is a time for people to reflect on why we have to honor the military dead," said Don Bruestle, a member of Pueblo Veterans for Peace.
Bruestle, a Vietnam War veteran, says it's a time to remember the toll of war-- those who didn't come home and those who are left behind.
"I'm against war but if I have to bear arms and defend my country I will," Torres said.

Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms by your sides. Brace your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Pull your shoulder blades down and back. Do not allow the low back to arch. Keep your chest lifted and your chin tilted up slightly.
With a slight bend in the knee, shift your weight over your heels and slowly begin bending forward at the hips. Keep the abdominals braced and the back flat. Place your hands on the table (as illustrated). Keep the arms straight wand positioned so there is a straight line from the shoulders, through the elbows to the wrists.
With your hands on the table, keep your legs directly under your hips. Lean back into your hips, straighten the legs and draw your torso toward the ground, maintaining a flat back. Keep the chin tucked into your neck to stabilize your cervical spine and to keep your head from dropping towards the floor.
Hold the stretch position for 15-30 seconds. Repeat for a total of 2-4 repetitions. To increase the stretch of the latissimus dorsi (back) muscle, rotate your thumbs to point toward the ceiling.
Exercise Variation: To further increase the stretch, supinate the turn the palms up to face the ceiling while leaning back into your hips.
Exhale as you lean back into your hips. Be sure not to fully "lock" the knees while holding this position.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As long as its healthy! Ill give it a try
|Will keep you in mind man. If you don't mind getting the stumps I can hook you up on the cheap. More than likely when I clean house I'm going to top as many as I can to restart the stand and pull the whole gnarled base.
|If you do that I wasn't some off the rotala
I think I answered my own question regarding the light fixture. Gonna have to do a 4x39W to get adequate coverage.
So here ya go... a neglected unkempt tank. Looks a good bit rough in the front as I've hacked everything on that portion down recently. Thinking about doing a severe hack down to just above substrate level and letting everything grow back in new.
I've been caught! Meddling kids. :P
My summer months are rough on the hobby. Lots of extra hours at work and fun stuff to do outside when not working. I mean we all should be out camping/fishing/boating right? Hehe.
CO2 canisters empty, dosing is sporadic, trims and water changes fall off sharply.
On the plus side I know what Staurogyne 'repens' looks like after not being trimmed for a few months. Once it grows in enough it starts making the standard stem jaunt straight up. I had some 4-6 inches in length! Haha. Trimming things down again and its looking a little rough at the moment but I'll take a snap tomorrow since I don't care... and I'm off for election day.
This layout has taught me something already though... I'm not sure how to remedy it in the future. It seems that with the plant selection and stronger hardscape that there wasn't much to be done post planting other than maintenance trim work. Nothing dramatic about the tank is going to change as it sits due to the plants growing and maturing. Maybe I could expose a little more stone here or there with more severe hacking but all in all it is what it is. Feels like a failed execution. The stone just doesn't stand out enough or have enough impact in the layout. That might change with a different plant selection but I feel like something is in store somehow for this tank.
I've seen some nice wood pieces for sale lately and a few that I'd love to jump on... but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Oh yea... I have a 2x96W PC fixture on there now. Think I'd see much drop off at all if I went with a 2x39W T5HO fixture?
|^^ I know...What gives? We need pictures JG.
4 months & no update.
Tsk, tsk.
|I might be able to try to pop a few this weekend... but honestly not much has changed. The Rotala 'goias' in the middle has thickened up nicely but other than that you'll have to squint to notice any difference.
|any updated pictures???
Thanks guys!
Still just hanging back on the lighting... not really sure what I'm going to do.
|Awesome tank. can't wait to see the plants more filled in.
WOW! Very nice! It's a beautiful start, you've done an outstanding job, seems to be par for the course for you though, it was awesome before too.
About the single MH... All my plants wanna grow towards the single light source (good & bad) I'm thinking a more evenly spread light (or 2 like you said, love the MH's) would even the growth out.
I'm thinking a retro t5 (or 2 lol) would supplement nicely.
Very interested to see what you end up using.
Close-ups of the rock are super-sweet, giving me cavities haha
So I couldn't sleep in this morning which meant that I ended up mucking about in the tank room for a while. Took a few pics of the tank but not much has changed... Added a few new rocks in, few twigs of downoi, and a big wad of Fissidens 'geppi'. Kinda hard to tell the difference between this and 'fontanus' to me. Is there really one?
I set up a couple of lamps with different color temps to light the tank and came up with this odd looking pic that I thought was neat.
I did manage a pretty decent fts though. Time to sit back and watch this tank grow slowly. I'd imagine all thats really going to be required is some topping/replanting of the Rotala 'goais' in the middle. Still need to figure out some type of plant to put in the "rows" between the stones on the slope. there really isn't much substrate depth there to work with.
And then a few detail images
I only have 2 amano shrimp in the tank. A single male/female that have been with me through several tanks. Both are probably pushing 2+ years old now. They breed regularly so they must like each other. Too bad I don't have a brackish setup to make an attempt at raising the larvae.
Thats all for now. I'll make it a point to wait 4-6 more weeks for another update and give the Staurogyne a chance to fill in a bit. Thanks for looking!
Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Roybot73: Nice to see ya around man. I really hope the interest isn't totally waning too bad. You have skills. I'd love to see an update on the crypt tank!
DirtyHermit: I tried the single 150W MH over the center probably a year ago and wasn't impressed at all. At minimum its probably going to give me 6 inches of dark spots in the top corners... which wouldn't be all bad since I'm going with all low growing sp of plants. Might give it a whirl again and see how it looks just for giggles.
As far as the tank its cruising along. The water is very slightly discolored at the moment due to the rinsing of the aquasoil I'm sure. This is going to be one of those layouts that will only need an update every few months as opposed to every few weeks. I like that... nice and slow.

Right now in my mind I'm toying with a few ideas that I've been having. I already have a 150W fishneedit fixture (electronic ballast, 8k bulb) running over my 29 gallon riparium. I'm considering bringing that tank down entirely or possibly switching it out with a 20 long. Either way I see myself as having a "spare" 150W MH right now. Easiest thing to do would just be to order a companion and hang them over the breeder. Too much light? Meh I'd like to hope with the height adjustment I could find a sweet spot. Besides the shimmer makes the ladies swoon.
I'm sure 2x70W would be a little better suited. It seems funny being cheap one post below forking out lots of loot for rocks. :P
If nothing else I know fishneedit is expecting delivery of their new model T5HO fixtures soon. I can always keep my fingers crossed on that. Who knows, I'm constantly crawling craigslist/ebay/etc for deals on Tek fixtures. I'm to the point now that I really just want to hang the fixtures on all my tanks. Makes maintenance faster, looks better, and the height adjustment is a huge selling point.
I have a 175w MH over my 40b. I used it for a reef before & it's what I have to use right now. It's got a decent spread getting a little darker at the edges (2-3" each end) It's hanging 12" mid-bulb from the water. It should be higher, but that's where my canopy is at right now.
My point is that hung higher you'd get a much better spread, which I'm sure you know. I hang my reflector with wings left-right, not front-back. (Dunno what kinda reflector you have) It leaves a thin dark line middle of tank front to back, but gives the bigger spread like I was saying.
Have you tried hanging the 150 by itself to see how it looks?

text: The World Team Trophy has also acquired the important role of paving the way to the new competition which will be held for the first time in Sochi in 2014. Its rules will be lightly different from the ones of the World Team Trophy and have been summarized by the ISU president Ottavio Ciquanta during a press conference in Nice, during the 2012 World Championships. This is What Cinquanta said: Ottavio Cinquanta - Nice 2012 "We are ready to introduce the Team Event for the Sochi Olympic Games. It will last three days and it will involve ten different teams from ten different countires. These countries will be chosen according to the performance of their skaters during the 2012/2013 season. The competitions which will be taken into account will be the World Championships and the Grand Prix series (but not the final), the Four Continents and the European Championships if needed, and the Junior World Championships and Junior Gran Prix if necessary. The qualified countries will be announced at the end of the next season. The athletes who will represent their country will be one man, one lady, one pair and one ice dance pair. The skater who will end up first will receive 10 points, the second 9 points, the third 8 points and so on. According to the points gained by each country, the first five teams will qualify for the second part of the competition, the long program. At the end of the competition the first three countries will make the podium, the other teams will receive a diploma (except for the last two teams, which won't receive anything). The countries who will qualify for the long program will be able to change the skater who will compete in the long program. It is possible to substitute atlhetes for a maximum of two disciplines per team (man or lady, ice dance or pair). If a country which decided to use a substitution wins a medal, both the skaters who did compete for that country will receive the medal. If in a country only three disciplines qualify for the Team Event, the athlete who didn't qualify will be able to partecipate anyhow. The Team Event will start on the day prior to the Olympic Opening Ceremony, with the short programs. During the second and third day of the Event the athletes will perform the long programs. If during the Olympic Games the Team Event will be appreciated, it will be added to the following World Championships."

I'd like to capture a swarm that is lodged in the triunk of a hollow silver maple. Problem: the owners do not want to cut down the tree. Any advice?

Depending upon the hole size for entrance you could either vacume them out and then with a long handle tool cut out the combs and mount the brood combs and melt down the rest, saving the honey.
Or if hole is too small you could put a cone over the entrance so that bees can leave but not go in with a swarm box rigged besides the hole for the bees to go into.
Don't know what else to recommend.
Dee A. Lusby
Once the bees are out of the tree via the wire cone or bee escape and snug in the new hive let them settle for a week or two,Allowing brood in the tree to hatch. (You may need to give them a queen.) Then, when you open up the tree the bees will go back in and rob out the honey. I think this is in ABC XYZ of beekeeping.
Not to be picky, but it is helpful if we all use the same terminology. A hive in a tree is NOT a swarm. It is a feral hive. A swarm is homeless.
I have done this many times trying to use the method from ABC XYZ of beekeeping. It does not work as it says, but this does work. This is the method I use if I can't get to the combs because the entrace is too small and the tree is still alive and no one wants to cut it. If you can get to the comb, I use other metods.
1. Try to find all of the entrances to the hive. Take some wire screen or some 1/8" hardware cloth and cover all of the secondary entrances. Make the cone (as instructed in the method in ABC XYZ of beekeeping, and put this over the main enrance in the middle of a good nectar gathering afternoon.
2. That evening there will be a huge beard of bees on the cone. Vacumn them up with a shop vac, or, if you have one, a bee vac. (I've never had a bee vac, but they look very nice). Duct tape some screen over the hose, so the bees can't get back out and take them to one of the following: (depending on your intentions to start a new hive, help an old one and if you have existing hives) Either and empty hive with a commercial queen still in the cage, at least two miles or more away from the tree, or a hive body with a frame of brood stolen from one of your existing hives that includes some just hatched eggs (for them to raise a queen) Dump the bees into the hive. Just open the top of the hive and the top of the vacum and rap it sharply (upside down) onto the hive. (note at this point the homeowner is usually freaking out about all the bees that can't get in the hive and is very likely to take a can of raid to the bee beard on the cone. Warning them so they aren't surprised or freaked out is helpful) Also keep checking to make sure the bees haven't found another entrance.
3. Repeat step two every evening for as long as you feel like it's profitable (meaning you are getting a significant number of bees) and until you feel the hive is very weak.
4. Now it depends on what the homeowner is willing to let you do, but ideally, you now bring a really strong hive and put it in front of the tree, preferably when there's a dearth. You can, if you want, use sulpher in your smoker to kill the remaining bees in the tree, but if the hive in the tree is sufficiently weak it may not matter. Hopefully now the strong hive will rob out the weak one. Be prepared to check it a lot and put on lots of supers. Some of these hives have 100's of pounds of honey in them and it doesn't take long to MOVE honey compared to making it. If you don't have a hive (except for the one you started with these bees) I'd wait a few weeks before bringing the same bees back to rob it, and you'll have to use the sulpher. The sulpher smoke will kill the bees without poisoning the honey.
5. When the tree is robbed out take your hive home.
I have never seen the cone with a hive in front of the tree work. The bees just hang on the cone like a swarm and never move into the hive. Also the queen never leaves the tree no matter how much you steal the field bees.
If you want to get them out and can get to the combs, I tie (or rubber band) all of the brood combs into frames and steal all of the honey (crush the combs and drain it). Sometimes you can find a queen but I'd have one on hand or plan on letting them raise one from the brood.

An All Whites win in their final home Fifa World Cup qualifier, against New Caledonia at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on March 22, would give coach Ricki Herbert's side a big boost on the road to Brazil.
It would give them Oceania's place in the intercontinental playoff against the fourth-placed Concacaf (North and Central American) nation in November.
A draw would leave the All Whites needing a point four days later in the Solomon Islands, while a win for New Caledonia would see them come level with New Zealand with a game to play.
"Anything is a possibility but nothing can be taken for granted in World Cup qualification," said Herbert.
The qualifier will be the first soccer international at the indoor stadium and the first time the All Whites have played in Dunedin since 1988, against Australia.
New Zealand Football chief executive Grant McKavanagh said Dunedin was long overdue to host a high-profile All Whites match, other venues around the country having hosted key matches in the recent past.
"Dunedin is noted for its love of sport and 'scarfie' population," McKavanagh said. "In bringing this crucial match to Forsyth Barr Stadium, we're hoping to see supporters from the region get out en masse and support the All Whites."
Several of Herbert's potential All Whites get a sneak peek at the venue when the Wellington Phoenix play the Melbourne Heart on March 3 in the A-League.APNZ

When you think about middle school or high school, what comes to mind? Regardless of whether the memory is pleasant or unpleasant, it stays with you. We've learned that success in school is not just about academics; it's also about students connecting with one another and their teachers and creating social and emotional bonds to their schools and communities. Adults often downplay or even ignore this aspect of schooling. We ask children, "What did you do in school today?" We don't ask, "What makes school special for you? What makes you feel connected to your school?" And, if we did, many students would find the question foreign to them because neither their teachers nor their families have ever asked before.
Yet we know that connectedness, sometimes called school engagement, is key to a student's academic success. In his report, School Connectedness: Improving Students' Lives, Johns Hopkins University professor Robert Blum makes the point that connectedness "improves educational motivation, classroom engagement, academic performance, school attendance and completion rates" while decreasing "absenteeism, fighting, bullying and vandalism."
We also know that, when students reach the age to vote with their feet, huge numbers of them drop out, making it clear they can't wait to disconnect from the system. Or, could it be that they never felt connected in the first place?

Suicide is the eleventh leading cause of death in the United States and the second leading cause of death among college age students. Suicide is often a cry for help. Individuals may feel hopeless/helpless and think that suicide is the only way out of the feelings or events they are experiencing in their lives.
Many factors can lead to suicidal thoughts or attempts. These include but are not limited to:
Visit the following websites regarding suicide among college-age students:
Myth: Asking someone if they are feeling suicidal will give them the idea.
Fact: If they are suicidal, they've already been thinking of it. If they haven't, you're not going to give them the idea. It can let them know that it is OK to talk to you about their thoughts regarding suicide because you were comfortable enough to ask them about it.
Myth: Only crazy people think about suicide.
Fact: Most people have thoughts of suicide sometime in their lives. Most people who do attempt suicide or complete a suicide do not suffer from severe chronic mental illness. Rather, they are often confused and feel helpless about a situation.
Myth: If a person is considering suicide, they are beyond help and nothing can be done.
Fact: Most suicidal situations are time-limited crises and are based on unclear thinking. Finding support and solutions to help them through this crisis until they can think clearly again is important.
Myth: People who make unsuccessful suicide attempts just want attention.
Fact: Sometimes suicide is a way to get attention in order to get help. Just dismissing it may make things worse. Without proper help, they may make a more serious suicide attempt next time.

Federal Jury Convicts DISD Employee
Following a three-day trial before U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay, a federal jury deliberated less than five hours before convicting Marsha August Ollison, a former employee of the Dallas Independent School District (DISD), on all three counts of a federal indictment charging theft from an organization receiving federal funds, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas. Ollison, 43, who has been on bond since her arrest in September, will be sentenced on July 30, 2007, by Judge Lindsay. She faces a maximum statutory sentence of 30 years in prison, a $750,000 fine and restitution.
U.S. Attorney Roper said, "I applaud the jury's verdict. This verdict demonstrates that the citizens of Dallas will not tolerate those who abuse their positions of trust by embezzling public funds."
The government presented evidence at trial that Ollison, of The Colony, Texas, worked as an Administrative Assistant in the Superintendent's office, and was an agent of the DISD. DISD issued credit cards, also known as procurement cards (P-Cards), for use by its employees. DISD funds were used to pay for purchases made with P-Cards, and employees, including Ollison, were instructed in a Procurement Card Manual that P-Cards were "for district purchases only." The government also presented evidence that DISD employees, including Ollison, signed Procurement Cardholder Agreement Forms that stated, "I understand that under no circumstances will I use the procurement card to make personal purchases, either for others, or myself."
The government also presented evidence that during 2004, 2005 and 2006, Ollison embezzled property, valued at approximately $56,000, by purchasing numerous items for her own personal use and for the use of another person with a DISD P-Card. For example, Ollison bought, among other items, 65 vases of varying color, shape and size, women's clothing including underwear, accessories and a leather jacket, personal products such as perfume, makeup, contact lens solution and hair spray, and household items including candles, wine goblets, bedding, and a queen-sized therapeutic mattress cover.
U.S. Attorney Roper praised the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Education - Office of Inspector General.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lynn Hastings and Dayle Elieson.

It is amazing the twisted logic of some people. Here is something to think about. How does ONE person having the opportunity of being Tri spec take away from another? If someone wants to just be a combat rogue, how does my desire to Heal or Tank or DPS as my group needs me take away from your being a Combat Rogue? I am not playing with you am I? Don't I play for the sake of my own play and those of my friends?
People are funny. When they think that giving something MORE means less. Somehow, my playing Tri spec will mean something to them. This is not a zero sum game. It is a communal game made up of small groups and having the option of having more opportunities to enjoy does not take away from those that choose NOT to use all three or four specs.
As to the taking away from the uniqueness of the game. Isn't it MY choice to decide if I want to take away from MY uniqueness?
Think about it

Dmitry Shostakovich
born in St. Petersburg, Russia, composed during the Modern period
Shostakovich was born in St. Petersburg in 1906 and educated at the Petrograd Conservatory. The acid style of his early Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk irritated Stalin, and Shostakovich was attacked in the Soviet press. Fearing imprisonment, he withdrew his already rehearsed Fourth Symphony; his Fifth Symphony (1937) carried the subtitle "A Soviet Artist's Reply to Just Criticism." It is more ingenious than most critics have fathomed, for it managed to satisfy both the backward tastes of the party censors and those of more demanding aesthetes in the West.
The 1941 German invasion of Russia inspired the composer's Seventh Symphony, subtitled "Leningrad." Impressed by the symphony's epic-heroic character, Toscanini, Koussevitzky, and Stokowski vied for the Western Hemisphere premiere; the score had to be microfilmed, flown to Teheran, driven to Cairo, and flown out. The work became an enormous success the world over, but eventually fell into obscurity. Still, the composer had for a time become a worldwide celebrity, his picture even appearing on the cover of Time.
Shostakovich ran afoul of the government again in 1948, when an infamous decree was issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party accusing Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and other prominent composers of "formalist perversions." For some time he wrote mostly works glorifying Soviet life or history. Artistic repression diminished in post-Stalinist Russia, but curiously Shostakovich still drew in his modernist horns until the Thirteenth Symphony, "Babi Yar," a 1962 work based on poems by Yevgeny Yevtushenko. The work provoked major controversy because of its first movement's subject: Russian oppression of the Jews.
In 1966 Shostakovich wrote his Second Cello Concerto, a work on an even higher level than his solid First, but one that has yet to capture as much attention from either artists or the public. That year, Shostakovich was diagnosed with a serious heart condition. He continued to compose, his works growing more sparsely scored and darker, the subject of death becoming prominent. His Fourteenth Symphony (1969), really a collection of songs on texts by Lorca, Apollinaire, Küchelbecker, and Rilke, is a death-obsessed work of considerable dissonance and showing little regard for the Socialist Realism still demanded by the state. Shostakovich died on August 9, 1975. ~ Rovi Staff, Rovi

I use a sheet of hard, white plastic with vegetable oil on it underneath the screen.
I posted a picture on my blog that I took today of a hive being fed sugar. Looks pretty cool.
Still no losses to report. I don't think queen rearing will be as early this year. The weather hasn't been nearly as warm as it was last year. Last year I grafted during Spring Break. I seriously doubt it will happen before April this year. Time to bust out the old queen rearing spreadsheet and figure out timing.
Winter here in North Carolina's piedmont has been steady. In January to early February we were extremely warm for many consecutive days. I figured the bees would be more active and run out of stores more quickly so I fed candy, which they gobbled up. I had 6 treatment-free colonies, 3 of then nucs, going in. All are well except for one former nuc that had grown to be my heaviest hive for a deep and a half going in. I watched it dwindle and did nothing, hoping for the best. Last time I went in there were a handful of dead bees at the top, and tons of food available. No eggs or brood to be seen. I realized I most likely killed the queen on my last fall inspection, probably rolling her between frames or squishing her underneath. No queen body was found, and only a very few bees on the bottom board. Do you think I'm correct in my diagnosis of a mishap? I now realize the importance of acting when you must, for a box of bees is a box of bees, not a box of hope nor a box of failure.
Then the weather turned steadily cold, actually being the winter it's supposed to be here (which was a surprise to many who'd gotten used to the warmer springs of recent years). I emergency fed one colony that had gotten weak, after discovering my previous mishap. I contacted a master beekeeper on thin vs. heavy syrup, and he said it was a gamble either way. I went with thin, thinking it'd stimulate brood. It worked! It's been gaining strength and almost is up to snuff now. I'm impressed with it's stubborness to hang on. It's one of my Russian hives, so I'll split that to keep those good genetics this spring, if it's strong enough. My feral hive which went into winter with 3 frames of bees, on double-stacked 5-frame nucs, is amazing and one of my most active hives. I'm a believer now in the smaller, taller boxes.
I hoped for 75% survival rate out of my 6, and have gotten an 83% survival rate (so far, unless I do something bone-headed). I've also gotten an order for 1 nuc and inquiries on 3 more, which will be my first nucs ever sold. All in all a fabulous winter!
Great idea...recycling is a good thing Couldn't you leave the plastic insert in?
QUOTE=rkereid;904807]I just slip a piece of political sign in the slot for the mite count board (under screen). It is not tight, lets some air in , but keeps the wind out.[/QUOTE]
Are you sure you're not just frugal or efficient? I like to eat regularly, it doesn't make me a glutton.
I have 9 hives, all overwintered very well. We are treatment free and have not fed any supplemental feed since 2011.
Well I'm kinda opposite to you guys, it's fall here, going into winter.
Just checked all the treatment free hives today, not looking good some of them have a lot of mites, and even dead brood. So I'm thinking it's likely I'll lose some or all of them this winter. But I won't know till I try so will have to leave them to their fate & see what happens. The TF nucs are a mixed bag, there is at least one with a major mite problem but some of them are as good as gold.
So I'll leave them too it, hopefully enough will survive that I can re-stock the dead ones. We'll see.

>Just checked all the treatment free hives today, not looking good some of them have a lot of mites,
But your small cell hives are mite free, right?
The treatment free hives are small cell. All the large cell hives get treated.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
7 hives going in and as of yesterday, 7 coming out of winter. It's not over yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic!
Latest check, all hives still alive. More and more flying days, though still fewer and later than last year. Later for queen rearing, but good sign for summer rains keeping clover alive.
So far my winter here in Zone 8a went well. I started the winter with one full size hive and one nuc and both survived. I am planning on putting them in medium and not deeps soon but they are building up well and bringing in lots of pollen.
Yes I realised my answer to that was not actually clear. The small cell hives are the ones with worrying mite loads, and are also the treatment free ones.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I started beekeeping a bit late last year with 2 packages, all into 8 frame mediums on PF-125 frames. A record drought made it rough going so I fed heavily from mason jars through the top. At the end of the year one hive had only filled out 1 medium and 6 frames of a second, while the other hive had filled out 2 mediums and over half another. In early Jan we had an unusually warm streak so I made 20# candy boards and put them on both hives. Last Friday i checked them and found first hive exploding with bees so i added another medium. My girls are very dark mutts so I'm scared of heavy Russian swarm traits. The second hive still had a lot of uncapped/undrawn frames and not as explosive of a population so I left it alone for now. Since both hives are still going I guess I didn't screw anything major up. 2/2 so far....
I must amend my report to include one loss this season as winter is not over for a few days.
Over the last two days I inspected my home yard and my south yard and I found one dead out in the south yard. If I had to wager a guess, I'd guess that they starved out this spring which is only their fault because I did not harvest from them last year. They were not good performers and they produced excessive propolis, so I won't miss them. An inspection of the bottom board yielded the largest number of beetles that I have ever seen in my hives, half a dozen living and two dozen dead. No larvae or signs of beetle damage.
This brings my loss total to 4.3 % this winter, continuing on my years long downward trend.
As for the rest of them, they all have capped brood, and most are doing quite well. Some have been set back by not having enough stores, most of which were due to being yearling hives. I am making mental notes as to which will become queen mothers and cell builders.

Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Checked both Yards and i am 6 for 6. 4 where nucs last year, 1 cut out and 1 trap out.
My first winter as a beekeeper and glad to see they made it.
I'm down 8 out of 41.
7 of the losses are from one yard. Won't be wintering bees in that yard ever again (poor fall forage).
Pollen and nectar should start coming in, here in KC in about 2 weeks.

a petri-dish bridge
I've posted this question on two forums (DD-WRT, Linux) with no response. It has to do with manufacturers forcing insecurity of wireless lans. It seems like no matter how much you want, you can't truly secure you're WLAN unless you use a minimal # of devices. Right now, I'm running WPA2/AES which two laptops, a Wii and a linksys camera can use and a wired server. All the kids have DSs which can only connect with WEP and I would like to set up RADIUS which would remove the Wii and camera. What I would like to do is buy a cheap wireless AP and set up WEP for the Wii, camera and DS (can these be hacked?). This AP would would limit traffic to/from its stations and "bridge" with the primary secure AP in such a way that the laptops and wired server would not be affected. Sort of like a petri dish, any bad thing created on the secondary AP could not escape. The secondary would have be to able to negotiate with RADIUS. I don't know if this is possible. Any ideas?

About Tesla
Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable transport.
Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla's products would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable transport.
Tesla's engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company's name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric mobility. Tesla would sell more than 2,400 Roadsters, now on the road in more than 30 countries.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world's first premium electric sedan. Built from the ground up to be 100 percent electric, Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. Its flat battery pack is integrated into the chassis and sits below the occupant cabin, lending the car a low center of gravity that enables outstanding road holding and handling while driving 265 miles per charge. Model S was named Motor Trend's 2013 Car of the Year and achieved a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S that further improve the vehicle's handling and performance. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, giving the car unparalleled control of traction in all conditions. The P85D pairs a high efficiency front motor with a performance rear motor for supercar acceleration, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds – the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Now with more than 50,000 vehicles on the road worldwide, Tesla is preparing to launch Model X, a crossover vehicle that enters volume production in 2015. Featuring exhilarating acceleration, falcon wing doors, and room for three rows of seating, Model X defies categorization.
Tesla owners enjoy the benefit of charging at home so they never have to visit a gas station or spend a cent on gasoline. For long distance journeys, Tesla's Supercharger network provides convenient and free access to high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes. Superchargers now connect popular routes in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Tesla's vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, previously home to New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 1,000 cars a week.
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint into other areas, including in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where it has an assembly facility, and Lathrop, California, where it has a specialized production plant. To reduce the costs of lithium ion battery packs, Tesla and key strategic partners including Panasonic have begun construction of a gigafactory in Nevada that will facilitate the production of a mass-market affordable vehicle, Model 3. By 2020, the gigafactory will produce more lithium ion cells than all of the world's combined output in 2013. The gigafactory will also produce battery packs intended for use in stationary storage, helping to improve robustness of the electrical grid, reduce energy costs for businesses and residences, and provide a backup supply of power.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
Elon Musk is the CEO and Product Architect of Tesla Motors and the CEO and Chief Designer of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX).
At Tesla, Elon has overseen product development and design from the beginning, including the all-electric Tesla Roadster, Model S and Model X. Transitioning to a sustainable energy economy, in which electric vehicles play a pivotal role, has been one of his central interests for almost two decades, stemming from his time as a physics student working on ultracapacitors in Silicon Valley.
At SpaceX, Elon is the chief designer, overseeing development of rockets and spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and ultimately to other planets. In 2008, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft won the NASA contract to provide a commercial replacement for the cargo transport function of the Space Shuttle, which retired in 2011. The SpaceX Falcon 1 was the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit. In 2010, SpaceX became the first commercial company to successfully recover a spacecraft from Earth orbit with its Dragon spacecraft. In 2012, SpaceX became the first commercial company to dock with the International Space Station and return cargo to Earth with the Dragon.
In addition, Elon is the non-executive chairman and principal shareholder of SolarCity, which he helped create. SolarCity is now the leading provider of solar power systems in the United States.
Prior to SpaceX, Elon co-founded PayPal, the world's leading Internet payment system, and served as the company's Chairman and CEO. Before PayPal, Mr. Musk co-founded Zip2, a provider of Internet software to the media industry.
He has a physics degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a business degree from Wharton.

Hundreds run for local girl battling rare disorder
Sorel Kolendrianos was born with Rett Syndrome
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - There was an outpouring of support for a local girl battling a rare disorder on Saturday.
Hundreds of people came out to Chase Palm Park to run for 7-year-old Sorel Kolendrianos.
Sorel was born with Rett Syndrome. It has taken a lot away from her like the ability to walk and talk, but it cannot steal her spirit.
"This little girl speaks with her eyes. She knows what's going on and can feel this energy we are bringing to her today," said Jenny Schatzle.
Schatzle organized the charity run for Sorel that is now in its second year.
Throughout the 3.1 mile course, the skies were dark, but the mood was bright.
"It was so fun and seeing everybody smile was just awesome," said Hayden Carlson, a friend of Sorel.
Sorel crossed the finish line with her mom, just like everyone else.
"It was exhilarating, beautiful, she was laughing the whole time," said Megan Kolendrianos.
Raising a child with Rett Syndrome is a challenge and Sorel's family will put the money raised to good use.
"We need an adaptive mini-van," said Megan.
The run raised $3,640.
