Prior to the advent of chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, and carbamates the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger), was a problem in Florida. The use of these persistent pesticide chemicals reduced the populations of the ants until they were no longer a menace. In the absence of these persistent pesticide chemicals populations of little fire ants increase, and in some areas, may develop into a serious problem.
Wasmannia auropunctata was originally described by Roger (1863) as Tetramorium auropunctata from specimens collected in Cuba. Forel (1893) described the genus Wasmannia. Enzmann (1947) described Hercynia panamana as a new genus and species from Panama. Brown (1948) relegated Hercynia panamana to synonymy, as the type specimens were identical to auropunctata.
The little fire ant is a common tramp ant species located throughout northern and central South America, the West Indies, the warmer portions of Mexico and the southeastern United States. This species is also found in the Galapagos Islands, West Africa (Gabon, Cameroon, and possibly the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo), Melanesia (New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu), Polynesia (Wallis and Futuna, Hawaii and possibly Tuvalu), and on subtropical Atlantic islands (the Bahamas and Bermuda). W. auropunctata is also a greenhouse pest in more temperate regions, such as England and Canada (Porter and Wetterer 2003).
Populations of little fire ants have been found in Los Angeles County, California. In 2006, this species was discovered in Israel (Vonshak et al. 2006).
As of 2000, Florida counties with populations of little fire ants include: Broward, Collier, Dade, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Hernando, Highlands, Indian River, Lake, Martin, Manatee, Marion, Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Polk, Sarasota, St. Lucie, and Seminole Counties (Ferster, Deyrup and Scheffrahn 2000).
The little fire ant is approximately 1.5 mm in length and reddish to golden brown in color. The workers are monomorphic (they look identical). Workers have two segments, or nodes, in their pedicel, and a thorax with one pair of spines (Hedges 1998). The antennae consist of 11 segments with the last two forming a distinct club. The antennal scrobes are well marked and extend almost to the occipital border (Creighton 1950). The head and thorax are heavily sculptured with grooves and pits (Hedges 1998). The epinotal spines are set close together at the base, strongly diverging and slightly incurved when seen from above. The node of the petiole is rectangular in profile and higher than the post-petiole. The erect body hairs are long, coarse and rather sparse (Creighton 1950).
A single nest of little fire ants may contain several dealate (wingless) reproducing queens, numerous workers, pupae, larvae, and eggs. The little fire ant nests under leaf debris, rotten limbs, stones, and in the crotches of trees or clumps of grass. Nests are frequently found behind the sheaths of palms or palmettos. The little fire ant is highly adaptable, nesting in both open and shaded areas, seeming to thrive equally well under moist or xeric conditions (Smith 1942). However, during heavy rains nests may be moved into buildings or trees (Hedges 1998).
The little fire ant is known for its painful and long-lasting sting (Smith 1965). Spencer (1941) reported that little fire ant workers did not readily sting, but would sting when pressed by clothing or other objects. In infested citrus groves, the ants are prominent on the leaves, around fruit, and on the trunk, making contact between the ants and workers unavoidable. Spencer (1941) reported that premium wages had to be paid to harvest fruit in some groves.
In houses, the little fire ant may infest clothing, beds, furniture, or food (Smith 1965). In homes, the ants prefer foods such as peanut butter and other oily materials, while in nature the ants tend honeydew-secreting insects (Fernald 1947). The workers also feed on dead arthropods and small animals, and are probably predacious on many live insects (Smith 1965). In Cameroon, farmers encourage the spread of the ant by distributing artificial nests to limit cocoa pests (Bruneau de Mire 1969).
Trails of little fire ant workers may be found along sidewalks and foundations and up the sides of buildings. Grass and mulch should be moved away from building foundations, driveways, and sidewalks to inspect for hidden foraging trails. Items in contact with the ground, such as landscape lumber, stones, and firewood should be lifted check for hidden colonies (Hedges 1998).
In homes trails of little fire ants can be found along baseboards or under the edges of carpeting (Hedges 1998). They may also infest clothing, furniture, beds, or food (Smith 1965).
Management of little fire ants is accomplished by finding and eliminating colonies in around the structure. Colonies living in soil or under debris should be treated with a residual insecticide. Injecting a dust or aerosol insecticide into the structure can eliminate colonies living in wood or wall voids. Ant baits can also be used if the colony cannot be located (Hedges 1998).

Pine Twin Drive-In
Wolcott Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Pine Drive-In on Wolcott Road was one of the popular Waterbury drive-in theaters in the 1950's and early-1960's, with parking for 1,400 cars. It became the two screen Pine Twin Drive-In when it moved across the street in 1967, with the original location becoming the site of the Naugatuck Valley Mall. The Pine Twin Drive-In was demolished for a condominium development in the mid-1980's.

BeschreibungBACKGROUND Polysiloxanes have chains constructed of alternately arranged silicon and oxygen atoms with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms. This structure gives them a unique combination of properties that hold great interest for a host of practical applications. Although they have been known and manufactured for many years, their applications continue to expand rapidly and this boosts progress in the generation of new and modified polysiloxanes. Polysiloxanes constitute the oldf'"' known class of silicon-based polymers and the broadest one when viewed in terms of the variety of structures differing in topology and the constitution of organic substituents. There are also many and various types of siloxane copolymers, some of purely siloxane structure and others of siloxane-organic composition. There is no doubt that polysiloxanes are the most technologically important silicon-based polymers. The broad class of model materials known as silicones is based on polysiloxanes. They are also the best known, as most research in the area of silicon polymers has for many years been directed towards the synthesis of new polysiloxanes, to understanding their properties and to extending their applications.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Sylvia, Jun 1, 2012.
thank you Sylvia.
Chen vs Yan at Croatia. I'm probably looking forward to that more than I should.
Smart, actually, IMO, no sarcasm. Josh has the scores (and score potential) to knock off all of those guys, even Han Yan potentially, although it will be interesting to see where Yan is at. With his score and his gold at Lake Placid the pressure is not on him as bad to make the JGPF.
Sending Jason to Turkey against a percieved "weaker" field is a good tactical move since he needs silver or better to qualify for JGPF. It also gives him a chance to get his skating back together after that little blip in Courchevel. But no field is weak. Remember, that was the tag given the Courchevel field as well, and plenty of people were expecting him to stroll off with that.
JGP Austria is supposed to be a weak men's field, yet the winner has the highest score thus far...
I don't think there is. I looked at previous JGPF results as precedent and found 6 Russian dance teams one year, five russian pairs, and 5 US ladies in the JGPF in one season.
Also posted that in the US pairs forum and thought that this perhaps was a better place to post it. .... Side note, Calalang/Sidhu were a bit of a yawn; they're missing a spark, hopefully they get it by the end of the season.
Zaitsev/Stevens are also options for the final JGP spot if DLM/Wilson don't get a second assignment.
True, true. Anyways Farris has the most tech of the American guys currently, so even though Chen's score was higher at his 1st JGP event, sending Josh to the field with the toughest lineup as a 2nd event is the most logical, though I suppose they could have avoided sending any of the potential JGPF qualifiers there too. Anyways, I'm curious to see if Jason's skating in Courchevel really was a blip (hopefully) or if it's more indicative of where he's at right now. I'm sure he's aware of the scores and programs put out by Josh and now Nathan and how his Courchevel programs and scores fell well below the benchmark those two set. Curious to see if he can close in that gap, or at least some of it, in Turkey and if he can get the 3a out successfully. Also, with some pressure off, I'm curious to see how Josh and Nathan skate at their 2nd events and if they keep the momentum going or scale things back a bit for the time being. So exciting this season!
thank you. that makes it even more interesting
Does this mean that Vanessa will most likely not receive a second JGP? I'm assuming all of Angela, Hannah (though her jumps are bleh), and Samantha will get a second JGP invite. How many JGP spots does that leave for the ladies (three?)?
The last two JGPs are currently blank on USFS' International Assignments page, so that means there are 4 slots for men, ladies and dance, and up to 6 pairs slots, left to fill. Medalists that should receive 2nd assignments are Wang (bronze), Miller (silver), and Cesario (bronze) in ladies, Chen (gold) in men, and Aaron/Settlage (bronze) in pairs.
So does that mean there is only 1 extra ladies spot available right now? Interesting. Wonder who'll get it.
With three slots left in men, I would like to see Shotaro earn a second one, and for Troy and Jordan to get a shot at the international scene.
D'oh I don't know why I didn't think of them, I bet they'll get it.
Choate should get one for being fourth at Jgp France. Isnt Troy injured?
According to Sylvia's post in the K&C forum, Tomasello was supposed to compete in the St. Clair Shroes competition this past weekend.
If one of Keiser, Jiang or Long gets a medal, they will get a second assignment. If two or three of them medal... then bronze medalists may not be good enough...
Even if Long medals, idk if they will wait that long to finalize the assignments. I think it will either go to Leah or Nina if one of them medals and then Vanessa if neither of them do. If Leah and Nina both medal, then idk what happens. Maybe they send Bell and/or Edmunds instead.
Vanessa isn't an alternate for the last event so I doubt she's getting another.
I hope Zaitsev/Stevens get the last pairs spot.
FWIW, Christina Zaitsev/Ernie Utah Stevens have the highest summer competition total score (113 at Indy Challenge) of the age-eligible pairs yet to be assigned to a JGP.
Vanessa Lam is listed as a 'S' in the current ladies' roster for Chemnitz, Germany on the ISU site (but not in the Ladies' points standings table).
Polina Edmunds competed in the invitational U.S. Challenge Skate this past weekend and finished 2nd in Junior Ladies to Selena Zhao. Edmunds scored 47.54 (SP), 80.14 (FS), 127.68 total, and was credited with just 1 clean triple in her FS even though her overall performance came across very well to me on video. Her jumps in the FS detailed protocol were:
3Lz+3T<, 3F<+3T<, 2A, 3Lo<<+2T+2Lo<<, 3F<, 2A, 3S<.
Mariah Bell was scheduled to compete in the Colorado Springs Invitational club comp. this past weekend but the official results haven't been published online yet.
Yasmin Siraj won the Senior Ladies event at Middle Atlantics club competition 2 weekends ago with a total score of 146.63. She reportedly skated a clean SP (56.00) with 3T+2T, 3F, 2A, and she rotated both 3Lz in her FS (90.63) - turned out of the 1st and hand down on the 2nd - landing 4 triples and two 2A.
The official results haven't been published online so I don't know whether or not he competed there.
She's not listed on the overall ladies page, which was updated more recently then that Germany one. http://www.isuresults.com/events/jgp2012/jgpsladies.htm
I haven't read through all of the thread so I may have missed this somewhere earlier...but why is Courtney Hicks down for 3 JGPs this season? She was at Lake Placid but they've got her down for the fifth and sixth event as well.
Why is she getting three competitions? Or is it possible one of those slots will end up going to someone else?
Hicks is officially assigned to JGP #5 in Bled, Slovenia on USFS' International Assignments page: http://www.usfsa.org/Athletes.asp?id=216
She was originally given #6 Croatia as a placeholder assignment - that's why there's an extra 'X' next to her name in the table.
Of this year's US JGP skaters, who will be competing as a Senior at Nationals?
LADIES: Barbie Long is currently the only one with an assignment who is staying Junior in the US
MEN: Brown, Farris, Choate
PAIRS: Denney/Frazier
DANCE: none -- all are Junior this season
All the JGP singles skaters and teams will have to qualify for Nationals (ETA: Regionals in Oct. for singles skaters, Sectionals in Nov. for singles, pairs, dance) if they don't make the JGP Final.
Then why do Ashley Cain and Kiri Baga still have 4"S" entries, even though they did worse than Vanessa (placements wise)?
Croatia entries are up: http://usfigureskating.org/Athletes.asp?id=216
Ladies: Miller, Wang
Men: Chen, Choate
Pairs: Aaron/Settlage, Denney/Frazier, Zaitsev/Stevens
Dance: Parsons/Parsons
JGP Austria Ladies Review
I'm happy that "Divette" & Utah will make their JGP and international debut in Croatia but wish we were sending a 2nd dance team for extra experience as well (ETA: it looks like 6th place & higher in dance gets a 2nd JGP).
I assume Cesario is slotted into #7 Chemnitz, Germany and that the 3 pairs will be Simpson/Blackmer, Calalang/Sidhu, and Pfund/Reiss.
thank you for all the news, especially the news on yasmin and mariah.
Polina Edmunds was referred to in the IN article about the US Challenge Skate as not receiving a JGP assignment this year, but hoping to do well at US Nationals so as to get something next year. Mariah Bell is only in a slightly better boat. If both Leah and Nina bomb (lower than 4th) next weekend, maybe USFSA will send Vanessa and and Mariah to the last JGP. Otherwise, if at least one of them places 4th or higher, I think Mariah will not get an assignment. At this point, I think it unlikely of the USFSA to forego a second chance for a 4th-place finisher to give Mariah one JGP. If she skates well at US Nationals, though, and she really should given how many are moving up to seniors and how solid her jumps have become this season, then I think she should be in a good position to receive assignments next year. It's really too bad though that someone as talented as her has to wait until she turns 17 before getting sent to a JGP...
Next year will be another terribly competitive year for US ladies on the JGP, with no seniors or juniors likely to retire. I have a feeling though that Mariah Bell and Karen Chen will end up replacing Nina Jiang, with her inconsistent jumping, and Barbie Long, with her low PCS. Maybe also Vanessa Lam, her bad jumping/skating technique doesn't look likely to survive any more growth.
At least Russia's super-talented junior lady pool is finally looking to dry up a little bit. Elena is likely to move up go GP's next year (final year for a 14-year-old to skate in GP's, right?), and none of the upcoming Russian juniors look nearly as intimidating as Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Lipnitskaya, and Radionova, when they were 10, 11, 12. Nobody coming up in Russia is like that now. US junior ladies should be doing better in the next quadrennium.
Actually, I think Mariah and Polina are out of luck, sorry to say. Cesario will get one of the assignments, and either Keiser (if she's better than 4th) or Vanessa will probably get the other. (Or Jiang, if she does better than expected.)
I can't rest well until Cesario's second assignment is confirmed.
At this point, Cesario I would think is a pretty safe bet. I don't think they can wait to confirm event #7 (Germany) much longer, they probably will have to confirm entries before event #5 (Slovenia) takes place. (This means that Long probably wont get a second event no matter how well she does on her first.) The Germany entries will probably be Cesario, and one of Keiser, Jiang or Lam.

(CNSNews.com) – For Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Supreme Court justices should champion the weak against the strong.
It's a view of the Supreme Court that divides the legal community.
Obama outlined his views on justices in the speeches he gave on the Senate floor in opposition to the confirmations of Chief Justice John G. Roberts and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
In both speeches, the Illinois Democrat chastised the nominees not for their positions on specific constitutional issues or matters of law but for what he perceived as too often siding with the strong instead of the weak. He chargied Roberts, for example, with being dismissive of claims of racial and gender discrimination and criticized Alito for making a habit out of siding with government and corporations against plaintiffs and workers.
In a floor speech on Sept. 22, 2005, Obama said of Roberts "he has far more often used his considerable skills on behalf of the strong in opposition to the weak," according to the Congressional Record. This alleged bias, Obama said, was why he voted against Roberts' confirmation.
Obama also accused Roberts of being "dismissive of efforts to eradicate the effects of racial discrimination in our political process," and that he "seemed dismissive of concerns that it is harder to make it in this world and in this economy when you are woman rather than a man."
On Jan. 26, 2006, Obama said of then-Judge Alito "when you look at his record, when it comes to his understanding of the Constitution, I found that in almost every case he consistently sides on behalf of the powerful against the powerless." Obama cited this finding as a reason to oppose Alito's confirmation.
Obama accused Alito of siding with employers over employees. "If there is a case involving an employer and an employee," said Obama, "Judge Alito will rule in favor of the employer. If there is a claim between prosecutors and defendants, then he will rule in favor of the state."
Obama's comments reflect a broader philosophy that would turn the Supreme Court into a liberal, activist body that would be used for social change, according to one prominent Washington legal scholar.
"He's talking about the Court being a liberal activist body, a tool for social change," said Robert Alt, deputy director of the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank.
"It's contrary to the fundamental principle of justice in this country," Alt told CNSNews.com. He said Obama's philosophy contradicts "principles that have guided our appointment and confirmation of judges for well over 200 years."
Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, disagreed, saying that Supreme Court justices and judges needed to have an understanding of how the law affects ordinary people.
"Three criteria for consideration for a judgeship (are), honesty, commitment to the Constitution, and an excellent record in the law," Aron said, adding that judges should "understand how the law affects everyday people."
But deciding who is powerless and who is powerful isn't the question, says Alt. Instead, justices should judge cases based on which side presents the more compelling legal argument, regardless of who the plaintiff is.
"The judges and the courts should not be playing favorites," he said. "They shouldn't be paying attention to who it is who's making the arguments, they should be deciding who has the better legal argument."
Aron, however, said that personal feelings should play a role in deciding cases.
"I think many precedents have certainly taken into account empathy and compassion. President Clinton talked about the importance of judges who were compassionate, and other presidents have as well," she added.
This emotional consideration is necessary, she said, because the courts are the only avenue available for ordinary people to have their concerns addressed.
"Ordinary people," Aron said, "really only have the courts as a forum to resolve their problems. After all, ordinary people, when faced with a problem, have difficulty getting through to a governor or a president, to a state legislature or Congress and find that the only forum available to them is the judiciary. Therefore, many presidents have regarded compassion as an ingredient in what constitutes a great judge."
Alt, meanwhile, said subjective qualifications "are an homage to an outcomes-based approach, not one that seeks to apply the laws equally to parties who come before the court."
He added: "It's not the court's job to show empathy beyond what Congress showed in enacting the statute."

May 31, 2007 at 3:57 pm #1223481
Here is my first quilt made out of Momentum90 0.9 oz and Climashield XP. Quality continuous filament insulation. This is the first in a line of super ultralight quilts I will be making. They will be the absolute lightest on synthetic quilts. Momentum90 0.9 oz / 1.1 oz Nylon Ripstop . Climashield XP. 40*May 31, 2007 at 4:16 pm #1390874
Cameron ReedMember
They look really nice and the weight it quite impressive. At that weight I would assume that you are using just one layer of Climashield, correct? You aren't doing the sew-thru baffles. How are you getting the insulation to stay put??May 31, 2007 at 4:45 pm #1390877
I am using one sheet and it seems to work well. I have been testing it in the deserts and high altitudes. I have a fanatic fringe quilt 30* which weighs 19 oz. and I always liked their simple design of just a basic quilt sewn together at the sides. The only issue people bring up is the durability of the insulation to the shell when stuffing. I don't use a stuff sack in my set up just place it at the bottom of my pack and let the rest of the gear compress it down. This way it stays a little more lofted I guess. Since most SUL backpackers already expand their sleep system by adding clothing while they sleep I think one sheet is the way to go for 40*-50* weather. I will make one with two sheets for much colder weather and I don't think it will add too much weight. Mine differs from the Fanatic Fringe by using lighter insulation and adding a drawstring for the neck.
I will also be making a hammock/bivy quilt with no neck closure drawstring since the nature of a hammock and bivy already keep the quilt tucked in and cuts drafts and bugs to some degree.May 31, 2007 at 7:39 pm #1390889

@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
That looks great.
How does the drawstring stay together behind your neck?
ToddMay 31, 2007 at 9:11 pm #1390899
I used velcro for the back of the neck and drawstrings on the front. In the picture of me holding up you can see the shock cord in the front.Jun 1, 2007 at 5:53 am #1390915

What are the dimensions on your quilt (length, width@foot and width@top)Also, how tall/big are you and how does the bag fit in comparison?
Just curiousJun 1, 2007 at 6:43 pm #1390983
I made mine around the nunatak dimensions of the Arc Ghost. Length was 70" Shoulder 46" Hip 44" Foot 34". Foot pocket goes up around 15".
I think these things work better offering two different sizes. Long would be closer to 76"Jun 7, 2007 at 10:39 am #1391509
Brian JamesMember
@bjamesdLocale: South Coast of BC
If you make a warmer version, count me in!
A warmer one would of course have two layers of insulation, but it would also have to be cut wider in the torso to accommodate wearing thicker layers to bed.
I'll be watching these forums keenly!
BrianJun 7, 2007 at 3:22 pm #1391557
I just ordered more material and will be making some wider to test the weight. I may do a two layer quilt but not till it gets closer to fall.Sep 27, 2007 at 7:58 am #1403845

Amock Comedy Magazine 3 HTML version
Sexologists at the Institute of Applied Naughtiness in Lille, France, have released a study which aims to
explain why humans persist in occasionally having relations in the so-called 'doggy-fashion' like most other
animals, when the face-to-face or missionary position is generally accepted to be the norm.
"It is the woman who decides," stated Professor Carla L'Amour, "despite what men think. They believe that
they will spin their partner around and enjoy the bouncing off the bottom, but it is only when the female partner
is receptive that she will agree to be taken in this way."
Previous studies have placed the origins of the missionary position at the time when humans became more
social animals and identified with each other as individuals. This has also explained the growth of female
bosoms, which are thought to replicate the curvature of the buttocks. But, though this all makes sense, it does
not explain why many couples will revert to the doggy position whenever possible. Some scientist have
theorised that this position offers a greater chance of conception, which is after all the primary purpose of
coitus, but no incontrovertible proof has been offered.
"It is all nonsense," said Professor L'Amour. "The female partner goes through a sequence of thought
processes before she agrees to be intimate in this way. The sequence goes as follows. Firstly, the couple will
make the love in the traditional fashion but the man, being a dirty beast, will ask his lady to turn over. She will
refuse, and this is where the first interesting thought process occurs. She is thinking to herself – when he is
behind me and I cannot see him, he will make faces behind my back. He may stick out his tongue, or screw
up his face. Therefore I cannot permit him this liberty which will reduce us to the level of animals. But, after a
while, she will tire of this filthy swine pounding away at her. She will be disgusted at the leer on his face, the
sheen of sweat on his brow. How wonderful it would be, she thinks to herself, if it was the yummy Monsieur
Johnny Depp or the rugged Monsieur George Clooney who was giving it to me, rather than this pathetic sap.
And then it occurs to her that if she permits him to get behind her she can indulge her fantasies and imagine it
is her dream-boat who is doing the business. And this is why women allow men to take them from behind, so
they can indulge their fantasies. The extensive research I have done on my myself and my wimp of a
husband Maurice, proves this."
"You can say what you like, but I think the so-called missionary
position is the only civilised way for man and woman to come
together," says Fr. Sean O'Malley, church spokesman on
Naughty Matters and other Disgusting Things. "The animalistic
doggy-fashion thing, quite apart from its bestial connotations
can only lead to adultery and sodomy. A married man could
quite easily end up having intercourse with a woman who was
not his wife if he was to approach her from behind. And then
her bumhole's quite accessible from there and I know all about
the temptation that lies there, believe me."

From a stop to 80 - You
From a roll - Him
They are quick little buggers when the get going...
John 3:3
Just tell him what I tell the guy I work with who has a 04 S2000. "Let me pick when and where and sure." It would be pretty close and highly dependant on driver though atleast according to the specs. From a stop you should be able to beat him. Either way it would be fun and close.Originally Posted by vortmax
I had a run in in with about a month ago, he said he had some intake (sorry don't know the name?), but it definatley made his SC much louder. but anyway from a stop I had him every time (oh I should say i was stock) But when we went from a highway roll he pulled away from me rather quickly.
I am trying to set up another race once I go Stage 2, since now I hear the owner bought a smaller pulley and is claiming he walks STi'!
Stock or something close to it.....
I'd be interested to see what a stock WRX would do against a stock Colbalt SS, with equal drivers
the colbaltss posts faster times than the stock 2.0l wrx's . i think the 06 wrx might have the edge though wit the 2.5l
i respectably disagree. i have a hunch that the 2.5L will make power delivery more elastic but I don't think outcomes will change given a good stretch of road.Originally Posted by sonicrx
embattled, we prevail...only victory exhaled.
I have to disagree, most post on the cobalt forums seem to put it in the mid to high 14's at best. The wrx should be low 14's, as long as you get a good launch he wont catch you. I think the cobalt's only trap like 95 so that's probably not much more than a wrx either.Originally Posted by sonicrx
just race him from a stop, since thats the true way of racing.
as for going from a roll he will probaly beat you.
I have read to many stories from colbaltss.net that a stock SS can keep up or beat 350z's,G35's, and Sti's. Even mildly modded wrx's. This just makes me want to take one on just to see if its true.
04 wrx white with one blue door.

i'm running stage 2 and my buddy's brother in-law has one. From a stop there nothing. From a roll i still pull but who knows i never raced him when i was stock. After researching this cars........WRX vs SS Cobalt, thats WRX all the way, my jeep could beat one of these.
205 hp race-inspired Ecotec 2.0-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission
Nürburgring-developed chassis, suspension and brakes
18-inch wheels and performance tires
Distinctive exterior and interior styling - front and rear fascia extensions, custom rocker moldings, high rear decklid spoiler, color-keyed front- and rear-seat inserts, boost gauge

Top speed : 143 mph
0-60 mph : 6.4 sec.
0-¼ mile : 14.9 sec @ 95.5 mph (hang with a rex HA)
60-0 braking distance : 121 ft(estimated)
200 ft skidpad : 0.86 g
Driving a WRX is like having a big d*ck; it's not immediately obvious to everyone, but you have to just rest assured that when it comes time to put it to use, you won't need to explain a whole lot afterwards!!
here is a correction to your data straight from motor trend,and um your jeep will not beat a turd on a slow roll down hill.Originally Posted by Pele0107

I dont know about walking STi's but running next to or maybe edging them out is very believeable. The cobalt will trap in the 98/99mph area completely stock and judging from the dyno numbers they pick up with just intake, exhaust and pulley I would not be suprised if they were trapping in the 103mph area which is right around or a tad slower than an STi. He is saying he is walking them, that is another story though.Originally Posted by soon2BWRXd
As for the race of the stock wrx vs stock cobalt... Pretty much what everyone else has said. From a dig, you will win if you can drive. From a roll, you lose.
Just call me Clark Kent
Offical Body Guard for the Bugeye Mafia.
ss and the 04 wrx run the same et,and the ss traps 98.2 where the wrx traps 93. from a roll the ss will win,and from a dig it is a drivers race . i would like to see it either wayOriginally Posted by DTR rex

So Cal Forklift Forklift Certification Scam Deception Not Employers Riverside California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
So Cal Forklift is a blatant scam operation. They prey on desperate job seekers by promising job placement, they also have advertisements claiming that they are hiring but that is only the bait. I went there after talkking to some guy name Victor, who works there, told me that they are hiring and that I qualified for the position. When I got there, Victor told me that to get the job, I had to purchase a forklift certification to get the job. I gave him the money for the certification. All they did was put me on the forklift for 5 minutes, then took me off it, then gave the certificate and rush me out. I complained to Victor that I didn't feel trained. Victor told me that it was ok and I would still be hired. I called the list of job leads, but some of them didn't check out, the positions were not forklift positions, and some of the companies neither heard of So Cal Forklift and some told me they don't use So Cal Forklift. I went back and told Victor about this. Victor's attitude was like "whatever" and to me to leave. So Cal advertises on Craigslist, I informed Craiglist about them, but nothing. If you see them on Craigslist, Remember, Their Phone Number is (951) 686-0116 and the Address is 1710 Palmyrita Ave Riverside, Ca 92507 Unit #2. That how you'll know that it is them.

You are herecontent / 19 Percent of Americans Approve of George W. Bush, Congress STILL Won't Impeach Him
19 Percent of Americans Approve of George W. Bush, Congress STILL Won't Impeach Him
By David Swanson
George W. Bush has set a record for unpopularity that may stand for all time: He now has a 19 percent approval rating. And, remember that Cheney has always polled LOWER than Bush.
Imagine if the Democrats were to do something we care about (preserving the Constitution) by doing something they care about (winning elections) by forcing John McCain to choose between supporting impeachment and supporting these characters who may soon be less popular than the flu.
Remember, Congress moved to impeach Nixon and STILL nobody liked him, but he was more popular than Bush or Cheney: He stayed at around 25 percent through the process. Clinton climbed from about 60 to 65 percent as a reaction to Congress prying into his personal life and attacking him for a non-impeachable offense.
Which scenario do YOU think is more like the current one, Clinton's impeachment or Nixon's?
Truman's popularity sank as Congress moved to impeach him, but it never sank as low as Bush's and Cheney's.
Concerns over Economy Push George W. Bush's Overall Job Approval to New Low
George W. Bush's overall job approval rating has dropped to a new low in American Research Group polling as 78% of Americans say that the national economy is getting worse according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.
Among all Americans, 19% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 77% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 14% approve and 79% disapprove.
Among Americans registered to vote, 18% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 78% disapprove. When it comes to the way Bush is handling the economy, 15% of registered voters approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 79% disapprove.
A total of 78% of Americans say the national economy is getting worse and 47% say the national economy is in a recession. A total of 42% of Americans, however, say they believe the national economy will be better a year from now, which is the highest level for this question in the past year. This optimism does not spread to improvements in household financial situations as 17% of Americans say they expect their household financial situations to be better a year from now, which is the lowest for this question in the past year.
The results presented here are based on 1,100 completed telephone interviews conducted among a nationwide random sample of adults 18 years and older. The interviews were completed February 16 through 19, 2008. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.
Overall, 19% of Americans say that they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president, 77% disapprove, and 4% are undecided.

Strange...there are other polls that put Bush in the mid-30% range that came out recently as well.
The former South African Apartheid regime had nothing on this country, eh?
Bush is the swaggering piece of bovine excrement that Conyers refuses to flush away. Period.
The Smirking Chimp said that they have to have real fair elections in Cuba now that Castro has stepped down. Fair elections! What does he know about fair elections? He is an embarrassment to our country.
I suppose he wants them to have democracy like Iraq does -- or we do.
Congress is "afraid of Bush"? Try, dependent on the approval of the Israel lobby. If President Obama tries to bend foreign policy toward US interests and away from Israel's *supposed* interests, then maybe we'll see cowardly congress come out like a lion to oppose Obama. But like I said, "if."
On Feb. 19, I went to Rep. Dingell's office in Dearborn, MI to picket urging the congressman's support of impeachment. I carried a sign which said, "IMPEACH BUSH-CHENEY IT'S YOUR DUTY" After 35 minutes, the Dearborn police showed up and advised me that I'd need a permit. Apparently, I was on private property - the sidewalk in front of Rep. Dingell's office.
The officer said that the landlord had complained. I believe that someone from Rep. Dingell's office had me kicked out for a peaceful protest. I don't believe that Congressman and Senators are upholding their oath to support the Constitution.
Frank Nester, Taylor, MI
There are too many lies to keep track of.
The real purpose of the "surge" was to hide another two deceptions. The Bush regime is paying Sunni insurgents $800,000 a day not to attack US forces. That's right, 80,000 members of an "Awakening group," the "Sons of Iraq," a newly formed "US-allied security force" consisting of Sunni insurgents, are being paid
$10 a day each not to attack US troops. And the casualties are much higher than reported, the surge replaces some of those men.
Looks like dancing around like a chimp for the Saudis' amusement wasn't such a good idea after all.

June 11
This morning, we were informed by a utility worker that construction crews affiliated with Aqua America are planning to begin excavation on the land of the Riverdale mobile home community tomorrow (Tuesday).
We have successfully delayed construction of a massive water withdrawal facility, permitted to suck up to 3 millions gallons of water daily from the Susquehanna River for use in fracking operations, for over 10 days now. The encampment is in urgent need of support at this time! Now is the time to show your conviction and solidarity with these brave residents and volunteers who have decided to stand their ground in the face of ruthless corporate giant - Aqua America.
Ways to Support:
- COME TO RIVERDALE: If you live within a few hours of Riverdale, now is the time to drop everything and support a community in dire need. The families that have stood their ground face imminent homelessness upon their removal. Call in sick to work, or take a vacation day - do it for the Riverdale residents.
- DONATE: It has cost hundreds of dollars to feed and house the dozens of people who have come to support the residents of Riverdale. Money will be needed to support residents who face homelessness, and bail will need to be posted ASAP for those brave supporters who are holding the barricade.
- Call or Email those responsible for fracking and the construction of this (and all) water withdrawal facilities.
- CONTACT your friends, neighbors, allies, churches, and other networks that you may belong to. Ask them to spread the word, donate, write letters to the editor of their local newspaper.
This fight can still be won, but only with immediate action from people like you!

Re: st: argument with digits after decimal point?

Re: st: argument with digits after decimal point?
Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:55:56 -0600
A couple of issues here.
#1 Realize that there is already a program -test- in Stata, so you need to either change the name or -drop program- test before running your code.
#2 When you ask Stata to capture the real number in ci(99.9), it captures the real number "99.90000000000001", not "99.9", which is what the -set level- command doesn't like, so it give you the error. See the results of running your program with -set trace on- below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- begin test ---
- syntax [, ci(real 95)]
- set level `ci'
= set level 99.90000000000001
level() can have at most two digits after the decimal point
------------------------------------------------------------------------- end test ---
So, you need to round `ci' before passing it to the -set level- command. I'm not a Stata programmer, so I don't know if there are better ways of doing this in a program, but here's one way that worked for me (NOTE: I changed your program to "test22" to avoid issues I mentioned in #1 above):
sysuse auto
* --------------------------
cap program drop test22
program define test22
syntax [, ci(real 95)]
di "before rounding: " "`ci'"
local ci2 : display round(`ci', .01)
local ci = "`ci2'"
di "after rounding: " "`ci'"
set level `ci'
* --------------------------
* --------------------------
test22, ci(99.99)
* --------------------------
#3 Finally, the -syntax- help file indicates that there is already a pre-built option in there for grabbing the confidence level. There might be other reasons that you want to capture it in the `ci' macro, but if not, you might try substituting in the -ci(cilevel)- option:
sysuse auto
* --------------------------
cap program drop test22
program define test22
syntax [, ci(cilevel)]
set level `ci'
di "`ci'"
* --------------------------
* --------------------------
test22, ci(99.9)
* --------------------------

Would your next steps be? I'm feeding syrup via top feeder. When do you all typically check in after a split?[/QUOTE]
Feed them and leave them alone for 10 days. Then check to see if the queen cells are still intact or have the queens emerged. My queen cells were capped, so, they are likely at least 6 days old. 10 days gives them the time for them to emerge. If they have not, I leave for another 5 days and check again for a queen.

If you've been following the development of the PS3 scene, more so what's going on with the optical disc drive emulators (ODDEs) that are being pushed out, you would know that the 3k3y team is almost ready to push out the Phat version of theirs. With the official website, support forums and related tools up, there's only one more thing to look forward to, which is the actual release. According to the China based LegendSky reseller, the 3k3y for Phat consoles will be released on February 6th and will retail for $129. The feature list retains the same features that are listed on the official website and were posted in the past.
An eye catcher reading through the list is that the 3k3y will work on any firmware, whether official or custom. However, as part of the installation process, the PS3 must be on firmware 3.55 so that the drive key can be extracted. The team has mentioned that they are working on drive extraction methods for those who are on a 4.xx firmware. With the 3k3y releasing first, a lot will be falling on their shoulders, as they will be setting the bar for the Cobra ODE an other ODDEs that follow.
If you're looking to pick up the 3k3y, you can grab one from LegendSky or keep checking out the official 3k3y website to see when any new and closer resellers are added to the list.

"Taylor consistently made good outlet passes and played well in his own zone," Boston coach Scott Drevitch said in a story on the league Web site announcing Hale as the Metro's No. 1 star of the week. " … He is making good decisions with, and without, the puck."

Dougherty has two assists in three games with Team USA's Under-18 squad. The 17-year-old from Cottage Grove, Minn. is tied for second in the USHL at plus-7.

No big shocker here: The general's wife is "furious."
A Tampa Bay socialite says she's only friends with Gen. David Petraeus, even though his mistress, Paula Broadwell, thought there was more going on.
Paula's father says his daughter is the victim of character assassination and the truth will eventually come out.
Holly Petraeus, who's been married to retired Gen. David Petraeus for 37 years, is a formidable woman in her own right.
The man Paula Broadwell cheated on with David Petraeus. Here's everything we know about him so far.
Paula Broadwell sent harassing emails to a woman she thought was a threat to her relationship with Petraeus.
David Petraeus' mistress with her husband and Jon Stewart doing pushups. Oh yeah! That's some hot action!
David Petraeus' affair is the biggest news of the day. Find out everything you need to know about it.
New information about the David Petraeus Affair FBI investigation
Petraeus' biography was called "All In." I mean, the jokes write themselves, people. Well, maybe not themselves, but Twitter does.
Is this all part of a bigger ploy to cover up the CIA's activities in Benghazi, Libya?
If the letter wasn't from Paula Broadwell's husband, who was it from? And is there to be a lot more scandal coming out soon?
This woman has enjoyed a stellar miliary career — looks like that's shot to s*it.
See the bodacious biographer's bod that made the general go gaga.
Paula Broadwell, named today as the woman who had an affair with Gen. David Petraeus, leading to his resignation as head of the CIA, is far more than a pretty face.

Free Pet Odor And Pet Stain Removal Samplers-Get Your Samples Today!
I get Asked all the time…Does your product work?
The answer is Yes!
But I'm bias, so I figured the best way to let you "prove it to yourself" is to let you try it free! Yes I said free! But there is a catch…I'll explain in a minute.
Here's why I'm doing this…
You see no one can tell you about results faster then you actual trying it for yourself. I know, my clients know that they work, but you don't. So I'm banking on the fact that if they work for you as I promise, you'll come back and order more when need it.
Secondly, I believe once you see how simple they are to use (especially how effective they'll be) You'll want to do what hundreds of my clients are doing now. They order again and again and even send me testimonials too!
I will admit…This offer almost didn't happen. Let me explain…
Since I've never done anything like this before, I thought I should run it by my accountant, She thought I had lost my mind!
(that's debatable) but she says "how are you going to cover the cost of the bottles, lables and employee time and lets not forget the shipping cost. etc.?
Hmmmm???? It's something to be bought back down to earth and an accountant has a way of doing it. So that got me to thinking. Maybe she has a point!
So after running some numbers, looking at the potential cost…I decided to STILL go against her advise! Which is never a good thing. But I'm doing it any way with a slight modification.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I decided to still give out the free sample. But ONLY to those willing to help me out a little, I figured since I'm willing to take a chance on you, you'd be willing to help me out with the shipping cost. of course I'll still going to pay my employee, the bottle cost and for lables and the packaging to ship it to you, all I ask is you just pay for the shipping…and that's it!
Shipping is not going to be a arm and a leg either…It's a measly $7.77.each! That's it! Less then a Big Mac.
Oh, I have two products, you get one for stains and one for odors, they address two different concerns, unlike my competitors who try to do it all with one product, you get two laser beamed focused products designed to do only one job each. That's why they work!
So here's the deal….
Help me with the shipping and I will send you a simple of each. By the way, I'm not going to just send them to you without any support, so before you get them I'm going to send you step by step instructions via mini email course, so you'll be prepare once you get them. So when you click the link below, it will take you to my sign up page, where you'll put in your primary email and name and give you a chance to ask you single Biggest question about pet urine. Then it will be send to my shopping cart to order you samples and that's it.

Their more common name refers to the white bottom of the tails, that will be apparent if they are surprised or working. The best times to view Whitetail Deer are in the morning and evening.

A much more common resident of-the woods in Virginia, although perhaps less loved, is the Gray Squirrel. If you need to see squirrels, you should go to a hardwood forest that has lots of mature oak or hickory trees growing in it. The optimum time of day to see squirrels is mid-to late afternoon.
