Theme - Streets of Rage (Genesis)

Show Archive
It's the time of the year when the days get shorter, retailers stay open longer, big games are released and there seems to be a holiday every other week. Defunct Games wants to ring in this festive season with a look at the most memorable video game themes of all time. For five weeks straight, Cyril Lachel and Kevin Bailey will share their thoughts on themes from the last thirty years. Join us every day between November 22 and December 25 for The 34 Game Themes of Christmas!
Streets of Rage
[ Company: Sega | Year: 1991 | Console: Genesis ]
Released to coincide with the home port of Final Fight, Streets of Rage did everything Capcom's much-anticipated Super NES brawler couldn't. This Sega stunner offered explosive two-player action, an impressive amount of stages, multiple characters to choose from and a whole lot of amazing music. This Genesis-exclusive managed to do the impossible -- make critics completely forget about Final Fight.
Who let Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds in the building? As the song starts, you can almost see a heartbroken man crying over the pictures of his true love. But the snappy drum beat and the funky guitars aren't going to let him be depressed for long. Pretty soon the piano player is making a convincing argument that you should turn that frown upside down. Throw away those sad pictures and get down to a bass solo so funky that even Bootsy Collins would approve. Eventually the song scraps the funky bass, catchy drumbeat and bluesy guitar, giving the piano player the last word. It's here in these final measures where I realized that this Streets of Rage theme transcended video games. This is a real song, not a fifteen second melody that is easy to loop. This theme song is a masterpiece.
With a title like Streets of Rage, you'd expect the theme song to be very angry and in your face. Instead we get a much more low key, moody R&B piece. As the story scrolls by, you can get a feel for why they'd go with R&B: The city was once peaceful and is now corrupt and violent, a great reason to have the blues. But then you also have the rhythm putting an aggressive feeling behind those blues. It's a two minute song with enough changes to not get boring, a bluesy lead guitar, and several rhythm variations. It also has a proper beginning and end, a complete composition. Though musically very simple, this theme song does exactly what it needs to do, putting you in the perfect mindset for the game ahead.
What's Next?
It's about time the Italian plumber makes an appearance on 34 Theme Songs of Christmas! But don't get too excited, because it's not the theme you're thinking of. Instead this comes from a slightly newer game, perhaps something you picked up at launch.

Lindsay Leaves Winstons Dressed Like Jordan Catalano from the Waist Up
Daisy Duke Lindsay Lohan is seen here practicing walking a straight line as she heads out of Winstons. The more I analyze her outfit, the more I realize that it also resembles a standard outfit that I remember seeing a certain Pussycat Doll wearing whilst comfortably lounging around the pad. In any case, I also wanted to refer to some of Lindsay's awesome quotes from her recent Allure interview.
"I never passed out in my life! I never vomited from having drinks. Like in public. I would never do that. Well–" she amends, "a few times. Well, everyone does in high school. I'm not saying everyone."
Hmm…I have a feeling she may honestly think that this never happened, but that's the beauty of a black-out.

interesting article on vitamins.Ive always thought it was bizarre to swallow pills instead of eating natural food sources.Supplements seem like another sham foisted on the psyche of the people.Another costly and ridiculous fad is juicing.Why on earth would you not eat but throw away most of the fruit,fiber and skin?Its beyond the emperor has no clothes.I read recently that juicing taxes your liver by forcing it to process abnormally high concentrations of vitamins.Your body can handle only so much.Moderation is key.I know a personal trainer who juices and takes pills and eats only 1 meal per day and he looks like hell.Dec 18, 2013 at 8:12 am #2055523
Scott MusackMember
@scottmLocale: Oregon
The key phrase was 'well nourished'.
If you aren't, then supplementation might make sense for you.
The meta study and summary was pretty flawed and overly antagonistic IMO.
I agree that fad diets are generally very bad idea and nourishing oneself adequately is always the best option, but sometimes that can be difficult depending on circumstances.Dec 18, 2013 at 9:07 am #2055539

I knew a kid who had rickets. Poor family, poor diet. A simple multi vitamin shouldn't be harmful and in rare instances can prevent disease. Whole foods seem to be the best way to get your vitamins.Dec 18, 2013 at 9:32 am #2055550

In some of more alternative or holistic health circles, people have long said that most multi vitamin complexes are a waste because the body doesn't assimilate these forms of nutrition well at all. In fact, they are mildly not helpful because what the body cannot use, absorb or assimilate, it has to get rid of, and most people's bodies already have high waste product overload and so the elimination system and organs don't need any extra work in that area. (our poor livers, kidneys, etc)
I don't do it because i eat mostly vegetarian, but from a purely health perspective, a tip to boost nutritional absorption and assimilation when eating nutritionally dense foods like a spring mix salad, green drink, or the like. Put some gelatin in it.
Funny enough, a psychic named Edgar Cayce recommended this some 90 years back. It wasn't until the 60's that medical research started to discover that something like the above is actually a great, effective practice. Reason being, is that after the body has broken down the foods and extracted the nutrients, it tries to combine it most often with amino acids to pass through the gut into the blood stream. Amino acids are the ideal substance to make these "chelated" nutrients.
Gelatin is concentrated, relatively pure source of almost free form amino acids, it's a great booster supplement that makes the above process easier, faster and more efficient which ultimately leads to one absorbing and using more of the nutrition (especially minerals).Jan 3, 2014 at 9:00 pm #2060166

A little bit of healthy oil with nutrient dense meal, like spring mix salad, etc, also helps to boost the efficiency of assimilation of nutrients.Jan 6, 2014 at 5:09 pm #2061015

Well, they waste 170 billion a year on beer and cigarrettes.
At least the vitamins arent killing them.Jan 6, 2014 at 5:17 pm #2061019
>"I knew a kid who had rickets."
There is a macro-biotic intentional community up here that had cases of rickets when they started 20-odd years ago.
>"Whole foods seem to be the best way to get your vitamins."
I consider the chances I get everything I need from:
1) a variety of specific nutrients on the package labeling, or
2) a variety of food types and colors,
and I come down on the side of 2. The number of micro-nutrients we haven't identified yet must be huge.
A varied diet first and foremost and the occasional multi-vitamin won't hurt you.Jan 6, 2014 at 9:31 pm #2061104
Since the US started adding folic acid to cereal, bread, pasta and the such, the sheer number of birth defect from a deficiency in the first weeks of conception has nearly disappeared. A simple changed it all – especially for the poorest and those more likely to get pregnant without planning. One cannot make up for the lack of it once pregnant, the damage will be done to the child.
I thought it interesting to note that a recent article I read in I think Time talked about Rickets making a come back in people who avoid veggies and fruits and live heavily on starches/meat. Again, easily avoided with a multivitamin in children.
Weird one in the most recent issue of The Atlantic about anemia in a remote area in Asia. Anemia in women is very dangerous (I know, I had it with 2 out 3 of my kids) and is a leading cause of pregnancy complications/loss of babies and maternal death as well as impaired function/growth in children. They found a simple way to cure it though…with fish shaped blocks of iron, that the women were instructed to add to every pot of food they cooked (take out, rinse and repeat). That simple act has nearly wiped out anemia in the women and the children. If first world countries lost their ample access to cheap animal flesh, anemia would easily creep back up here.Jan 7, 2014 at 1:17 am #2061129

I understand that in the UK women with anemia used to get their water from the blacksmith – the water he had used for quenching steel.
Story from someone whose great-grandfather was the village blacksmith.

Another good book that uses scientific studies:
"My stomach can't handle acidic fruits, so to get my vitamic C, I take a horse pill.
I hate eating salads and veggies -> I take multi-vitamins.
high cholesterol -> I take Omega 3 fish oils for that delicious sardine/anchovie burp."
Those don't work. You'de be healthier to eat 5 servings of fruits/vegetables per day, 3 servings of "cold water" fish,…
Bonus – it would turn you into a liberal : )Jan 7, 2014 at 1:48 pm #2061285

I am 60 years old and I take a multi-vitamin every day. It works out to be a few cents per day since I buy them in a large bottle at Costco. And I eat plenty (more than plenty, alas) and have a pretty varied diet. But the cost of the vitamins is so low, and since the downside of taking them is negligible, I don't care if there's a chance I'm wasting my money.
And who knows, they might even help.Jan 7, 2014 at 2:21 pm #2061296

My daughter gets a daily multi vitamin. Getting her to eat right is a loosing battle. Just getting her to eat it a big enough battle in itself. The vitamins are insurance.Jan 7, 2014 at 4:08 pm #2061326

Personally, I'd want to know a lot more about how they arrived at their conclusions and see some follow up reaction from the larger medical community before I tossed my vitamins in the garbage. This is not to say they are a substitute for a varied diet of proven healthy foods but, to paraphrase Elliot, as cheap insurance for possible trace mineral deficiencies or even major vitamins, it can't hurt in moderation. What worries me more are the mega dose vitamin preparations and other hyped up miracle supplements that are flooding the market.Jan 7, 2014 at 4:44 pm #2061341

@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
eating dirt or sawdust in moderation can't hurt
I don't want to do things unless there's some benefit
Psycologocly, if I'm taking vitamins, maybe I won't worry about eating fruits and vegetables so much, so I won't eat as much. Eating fruits and vegetables has scientifically been proven to be beneficial. Vitamin pills, in general, not.Jan 7, 2014 at 4:46 pm #2061345

Patient: "Nutritionist, my right lower leg seem to have suffered a double fracture – I can see the broken ends of my tibia and fibula protruding through my skin."
Nutritionist: "Here are some glucosamine tablets. Under FDA regulations, I can't claim that they will fix your problem, so I'll just strongly imply that if you buy the particular brand that I sell, your leg will be fixed, your life lengthened, and you'll never need viagra again."

OK, guys….any of your ladies develop the desire to eat yuckies while pregnant? Pica is a nasty one! Anyhow, it manifests in women when they have been depleted of a needed vitamin/mineral. It can of course occur in most anyone who has a defincy.
What is funny is I knew something wasn't right when I was pregnant with my 3rd son in 2011/2012 and I was at the gym. All I could smell was iron. Luscious, intoxicating rich iron. And seriously had to fight the urge to gnaw on free weights. I had a fleeting thought that must be what a vampire would crave when they smelled blood dripping from a cut.
I went to my OB's office that day and had an anemia test pulled. I was so low it was no wonder that I could smell it. Then I ate a nearly raw filet mignon and my husband watched me warily. Never had I craved dead cow so much. It was so good smelling. Those tasty juices pooling on my plate….
Now? I can't imagine eating that. Yet I spent 7 months eating nearly raw meat with a carnivore glee. I swear the baby was so happy in me as I did. Costco made a fortune off of me those months ;-)
Lol….cracks me up. At least I wasn't eating laundry soap or something!Jan 7, 2014 at 7:17 pm #2061387

They did that in the Wizard of Oz. But they had to, he was on fire.
Or are you folks talking about something else?Jan 7, 2014 at 8:00 pm #2061407
From wikipedia: Hyperbole (/haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-pur-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolē, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
Sorry if it touched a nerve.
I read the article (in Annals of Internal Medicine, not the LA Times summary) and, of course, it was more nuanced – there may be a role for vitamin D supplementation in some populations.
Are you standing by your $1 trillion figure as literally true?
Then, also from wikipedia: "citation needed".Jan 7, 2014 at 8:05 pm #2061411
>"OK, guys….any of your ladies develop the desire to eat yuckies while pregnant? Pica is a nasty one! "
We're high-elevation backpackers! When we get cravings, it is for pika.
My wife felt more definitively pregnant not after the little indicator on the dipstick turned pink but when she realized chocolate was unappealing – something really had changed! She maintained her vegaquarium diet, but went a lot heavier on the red salmon.Jan 7, 2014 at 8:48 pm #2061425
My first kid, I went to work and the normally awesome smell of coffee beans suddenly smelled like rotten fish. I ran a coffee house. It was fun ;-)
Mmmm….roasted Pika on a spit. 5-6 per person? ;-)

Spotlight On Elderlaw
As estate planning attorneys, when we meet with clients during our initial consultation, it is necessary for us to obtain information regarding income and assets. On an all too frequent basis, the clients, and their families, do not have a clear understanding of the financial situation. This happens for many reasons such as the disability or recent loss of a spouse who handled the family finances; and sometimes a gradual decline in ability to manage finances due to advanced age.
People with an unclear or incomplete understanding of their finances often fail to budget for expenses properly, and may miss important payments which can affect overall credit scores. The elderly, in particular, may fall prey to various financial "scams." Often, family members need to provide assistance to their relatives to avoid these situations.
Family members are often reluctant to overstep their bounds by suggesting they provide assistance with financial management, sometimes because of the fear of insulting their parent or loved one by suggesting that assistance may be necessary. We have found in many cases the opposite to be true – often the person having difficulty getting a handle on managing or understanding their finances is relieved and happy to have the assistance. The following is an outline of the steps that should be taken to provide assistance to your parent or loved one with managing finances.
Power of Attorney: notice the bolding, underlining and italicizing – this is THE MOST IMPORTANT document to have in place in order to provide legal authority to another person to manage one's finances. In New York State, in 2009 and again in 2010, modifications were made to the power of attorney document. It is important to have the updated changes on the document, and the proper signing by two witnesses and notary. Without a valid power of attorney in place, should your loved one require assistance to manage finances, if he or she is incapacitated, without the power of attorney in place, a court appointed guardian may be the only alternative. Power of Attorney documents should be reviewed periodically by an attorney to ensure the document is complete and includes all of the authority that might be necessary.
Review and gather information: make copies of all personal documents, including birth certificates, passports, driver's licenses, social security and health insurance cards, marriage certificates, death certificates, and military discharge papers. Keep a set of copies in a different place than the originals, so that if one set is lost, you will have the other. Make a list of prescriptions, pharmacy, doctors, attorney, and accountant. If there is a financial advisor or broker, add him to the list.
Make a list of monthly income amounts, and monthly expenses. Automatic bill payments should be considered for convenience. Look at the checkbook register to make sure the record is being maintained, and checks are not being written without being recorded.
Review tax returns from prior years, make a list of all accounts, make copies of the recent statements for all accounts.
Check the activity in the accounts for large withdrawals (especially if your loved one is unsure of account balances). Keep up to five years of statements for all accounts.
These preventative steps can make things easier for your relatives, and less stressful in the future! The attorneys can be reached at 718-738-8500 to schedule a consultation, or a reservation at a seminar.

the last of us multiplayer game mode SURVIVAL
It's basically every man for himself in any sort of dark level- abandoned train station, corporate building, apartments etc.- and you're only equipped with a non-rechargable flashlight, unusable after the battery dies must scavenge for batteries. The only things you can use in the level are bottles, bricks, and other items throwable to create noise around other survivers by hitting them or throwing it in there area. The level consists of a few AI clickers and first level infected with partial sight. The goal is to get the other people killed and be the last survivor by creating noise around other players or throwing objects at them. Flash light beam may be detected by the first level infected, please use this to create an awsome multiplayer game mode if you guys thought of this already then great because great minds think alike.......................ps other psn members please feel free to add some suggestions.
by one of your biggest fans KINGRAY89 the original uncharted 3 assasin and neck snap king OVER 9000 no joke in only 2 or 3 months i think lol

text: I love how articulate and bold she is. She might not be being diplomatic, but things must have been bad enough to make this sort of statement.

Ty Cobb Biography for Kids
Tyrus Raymond Cobb was born in the Narrows area of Georgia on December 18, 1886, and grew up working on a farm in Royston, Georgia. His father was a teacher, principal and politician. He taught Ty the value of hard work and perseverance. Ty's grandfather taught him to hunt and appreciate the outdoors. One day, Ty leaned his .22 rifle against a tree, it fell, went off, and shot him in the shoulder. That slug was embedded in his shoulder for the rest of his life because doctors couldn't find it. Despite this mishap, Ty was a life-long hunter. Ty was bright, but didn't have much interest in schoolwork. He was very competitive and would stop at nothing to win. Ty's first team was the Royston Rompers. When he was older, he played for the semi-pro Royston Reds. His nickname was "The Georgia Peach."
In 1904 he played in the minor leagues, and was signed by the Detroit Tigers in 1905. Ty played for the Detroit Tigers from 1905-1926, and for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1927-1928. Ty's career batting average was .367 with 4,191 hits; 723 doubles, 297 triples, 117 home runs and 1,938 Runs batted in. His on-base percentage was .433, and his slugging percentage was .512. He played in 3,035 games and had 11,429 at bats in his career. He had 892 stolen bases (fourth highest in Major League Baseball history) and 1,249 walks. He stole home 54 times, which stands today as the all-time record. Ty had 23 seasons where he hit over .300 and three seasons where he hit over .400. He won the 1909 American League batting Triple Crown, and he won nine consecutive batting titles (1907-1915). His best batting average for a season was .420 in 1911. He held the record for most hits for 60 years. Pete Rose is the only player with more (4,256). His .367 career batting average is the highest ever recorded by an major league player. With 2,246 career runs scored, he is second only to Rickey Henderson who had 2,295. On May 5, 1925, Ty had 16 total bases (three home runs, a double and two singles) in one game. This set an American :eague record. He holds the American League record for most inside the park home runs in a season (9) and a career (46), and is tied for most in a game (2).
Ty was an amazing athlete, but he was a loner who was often angry and ready to argue. He was a racist, and he was a bully on and off the field. His teammates tolerated him because of his value as a player. Ty was a mentor for Charlie Gehringer when he first joined the Tigers. At that time Charlie said of Ty, "He was like a father to me." Later he described Ty as "a real hateful guy."
Ty wrote three books: Busting 'Em: And Other Big League Stories; Memoirs of Twenty Years in Baseball; and My Life in Baseball. Busting 'em can be read online. He was also an authority on the Civil War. In 1917, he became the first athlete to star in a silent movie, Somewhere in Georgia. During World War I, Ty enlisted in the US Army Chemical Corps in 1918 and was sent to France. Other members of the unit were Branch Rickey, the president of the St. Louis Cardinals, Giant pitcher Christy Mathewson and George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns.
Here are a couple stories about how hard Ty played to win.
• Sportswriter Grantland Rice wrote, "He had a temperature of 103 and the doctors ordered him to bed for several days, but he got three hits, stole three bases, and won the game. Afterward he collapsed at the bench."
• One day when he stepped up to the plate, Ty told the catcher that he was going to steal every base. After singling to first, Cobb then stole second, third, and home on four straight pitches.
• In another game, Ty was called safe when he slid into second for a double. The Highlander catcher began to argue with the umpire about the call. Highlander infielders gathered to watch the argument. Ty realized that no one on the Highlanders had called time. No one noticed when he strolled to third base, and then casually walked towards home plate as if to get a better view of the argument. Then Ty broke into a run, slid into home plate and scored what would become the winning run.
• Ty felt the base paths belonged to him. One day in 1907, he hit a triple, but he didn't stop at third. He lowered his shoulder, ran into the catcher, Harry Bemis, and knocked the ball loose. Bemis picked up the ball and beat Cobb over the head with it until the umpire pulled Bemis off and ejected him from the game.
Some say that Ty's fiercely competitive personality was related to his desire to please his father who was fatally shot by his mother just weeks before Ty joined the Tigers. She mistakenly thought he was an intruder outside the house.
Ty played before players had numbers, so he was honored by the Detroit Tigers in 2000 when they put his name (COBB) next to retired numbers of other players on the wall at Comerica Park and a statue of him outside the park. He was one of the first five players (Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, and Babe Ruth) elected to the Hall of Fame in 1936. He received the most votes of any player on the first Hall of Fame ballot, 222 out of a possible 226 votes.
Ty Cobb died July 17, 1961, in Atlanta, Georgia. Ty invested wisely, mostly in General Motors and Coca-Cola stock, which made him very wealthy and probably baseball's first millionaire. His estate was reported to be worth at least $11,780,000 (equivalent to $91,600,000 today). One fourth of this went to the Cobb Educational Fund which gives college scholarships to needy students in Georgia. He also built hospitals in Georgia that are known as the Ty Cobb Healthcare System, including a hospital in Royston which is a memorial to his parents.
George Sisler said, "The greatness of Ty Cobb was something that had to be seen, and to see him was to remember him forever."

Lane Ranger: Driver notices speed limit sign missing on 34th Street
Published: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 8:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 8:27 p.m.
Lisa Jelks of Gainesville wrote an email calling attention to the lack of a crucial sign for northbound motorists on 34th Street approaching Southwest Second Avenue.
The Florida Department of Transportation recently did some reconstruction in the area. Missing after the work was a 35-mph sign for drivers approaching Second Avenue and continuing to University Avenue, she said.
"After construction, the sign was never replaced, making it perfectly legal to drive through both of these very busy and congested intersections at 45 mph!" Jelks said. "I'm pretty sure FDOT did not intend for this to happen. There's already been one fatality here since the change. Does FDOT know about this oversight or was it intended? Note, the southbound lanes are still 35 mph through both intersections."
It turns out that FDOT did not know about the missing sign, said district spokeswoman Gina Busscher.
"Ms. Jelks is correct. There should be a 35-mph speed limit sign posted on SW 34th Street in the northbound direction just south of SW Second Avenue," Busscher said in an email. "We're not sure if the sign was hit and not replaced or what happened to it, but it will be replaced. It should be back up within the next week. Let Ms. Jelks know that we commend her for letting us know about this."

Great quote. My preferences are baseball and football so I hate the time between the Super Bowl and Opening Day!Originally Posted by Brownieand45sfan
I hate the current day NFL, so basically all of winter is torture for me.
What about college football?Originally Posted by Williamsburg2599
College is alright, but the challenge rule this year and the drawn out post season sort of bugs me, I really like 1-AA though(or what ever there calling it now), especally with all the 1-AA schools around here (MAINE,UNH,RI,UMASS,etc..,)Originally Posted by Brownie31
There is a 1-AA school here in the Birmingham area-Samford University. They pulled off a small coup recently by hiring Pat Sullivan, 1971 Heisman winner at Auburn, as their head coach. Samford belongs to the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) which is funny since Alabama is nowhere near the Ohio Valley! Kind of like when the Atlanta Braves were in the NL West and the Chicago Cubs in the NL East!Originally Posted by Williamsburg2599
From the last game of The Series,
Til the first real game of spring,
I always feel the vacuum's sting,
Of baseball season gone a wing,
And not replaced by anything.
Thank God. The end of the void is near.
"Our fans never booed us. - They wouldn't dare. - We outnumbered 'em." ... Browns Pitcher Ned Garver.
West Palm Beach, FL March 3, 1935: No more looking out the window for Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis Browns manager. Spring has arrived! What lies ahead for Hornsby and his '35 Browns? A 65-87 seventh place finish and paid attendance of 80,922. Maybe that window looked better after that? (Corbis)
Boy, did the Rajah hit the nail on the head with that quote. I couldn't agree more. Football is nothing more than a poor substitute between seasons.
"(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit." - Babe Ruth
Whats that '35 cap on the Hornsby picture posted by Brownie 31? A brown hat with a brown "SL"? Orange "SL"? Whatever it is, the lettering sure looks dark. I don't believe the hat makers have reproduced that hat yet.

OK guys, here's my question
Will a Q-jet carb (M4ME) bolt on directly on my current EFI intake manifold?
My reason for his question? Allow me to explain
My car (83 Seville with 80 368 EFI engine) runs primarily on LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas)
This is mainly done in The Netherlands for financial reasons. Because unleaded fuel runs about 9 dollars per gallon and with a fuel consumption of 15 mpg or way less, not funny.
However our goverment needs money and decided to tax all classic cars running on diesel or LPG between the age of 39 and 25 years old.
In turn this means that a lot (American) classic cars need to converted back to run on unleaded again to avoid this tax. Otherwise I'm looking at 3000 USD a year in road tax. Once again, that's not funny.
Now I know there's more in converting the car from EFI to a carb than just that, so if there any tips on that too it would be highly appreciated.
Already thought of fuel pump btw.....

Okay, let me put another proposition on the table.
Suppose you have a 200 hive operation, fairly successful, but it takes all your spare time above your normal job and family responsibilities. You raise your bees, harvest the honey, sell at farmer's markets and wholesale through a couple of grocery stores.
Suppose you want to approach an "investor," one who will put up some cash for expansion. You can add more hives, open new markets, allowing you to quit your "day job," and continue your devotion to the bees.
What kind of deal would you offer? They don't want to mess with the bees, they see your success and want a slice of the financial pie and allow you to pursue your passion. They are an investor and not a partner.
Suppose, as well, that you are not financially pressed, operate relatively debt-free, and really enjoy the bees.
Any thoughts? How would you market such an idea?

My Macmillan
My saved pages
Hello Promis,
There are a few folk who pop into the group for 'stem cell transplants for blood cancers' which I asked Admin to set up as I felt this was a totally different and rather deeper topic than standard treatment for HL.
Having said that, if your team know that you had a bad reaction to Vincristine then hopefully they will be able to avoid any possibility of this happening again.
Where are you being treated? Is there not a possibility of them giving you one of the newer drugs, like Brentuximab Vedotin (Adcetris is it's commercial name)
Sending you a hug xxx
Hi Promis
I guess it's a bit late to be answering this and if you're in the hospital you'll maybe not even be able to read this but if you can, well, I've been there, done that.
The high dose stuff for me wasn't any different to any other chemo; they put it in and then go away.
It will take a few days for your counts to drop down to zero during which time you'll probably still feel fairly okay - side effects perhaps chemo normal but I didn't really experience anything worthy of note. It's when your counts are down that they'll reintroduce the stem cells they took out of you but it'll take a good week or two before they start working properly and begin rebuilding your immune system.
This is where the most unpleasant bit is; without anything to regulate them, bacteria in your body can grow. Mouth sores and ulcers are common; not something I suffered from thankfully. My main side effect was ropey innards; food just went straight through me and I felt uncomfortably bloated all the time. You may have different effects so it's impossible to guess what you'll be feeling but I expect it'll be not great
Once your counts start recovering you'll start feeling better but it wasn't the most pleasant couple of weeks of my life and I was so glad when I finally got to go home and start building my strength back.
The thing to remember is that it won't last long. It'll pass. Just take it a day at a time and it'll be over before you know it!
If you do get to read this: good luck! Hope it does the job forever...
Wishing you all the best. No direct experience but have had friends go through it.
Take care
If you are going to have Melphalan then do suck ice cubes all the way through, it can be absorbed in the mucus membranes of mouth and upper gut, sucking ice or iced lollies can slow this down to prevent ulcers later on....

A rally driver trapped in his car as flames threatened was saved by spectators.
Rotorua-based driver Dave West, 54, was racing in the Old Coach Road Tarmac Sprint in Pukehina yesterday when he lost control of his Toyota Corolla GT and slammed into a concrete power pole, which fell into a large hedge and ignited a fire about 1.15pm.
His co-driver was able to free herself from the wreckage but Mr West was trapped inside as the flames crept closer.
Bystanders, including Bay of Plenty Times motoring editor Colin Smith, raced to his aid. They tied a rope to the car and towed it away from the flames.
Mr Smith said Mr West was negotiating a hairpin bend in the course when the crash took place. "He came down here, dropped a wheel on the grass, it half spun and he hit the concrete power pole."
The power pole fell into the hedge and sparks from the live wires started the fire, he said.
"The fire in the hedge was quite intense."
It took firefighters an hour and a half to free the man from the wreckage of his car.
Te Puke Constable Kurt Waugh said it appeared the car's brakes locked up causing it to leave the road. The front driver's side of the car collided with the power pole trapping the driver by the legs, he said.
Rally organisers stopped the race after the crash.
Pukehina fire chief Errol Watts said the car had come over the hill at about 180kmh but was slowing down when the crash occurred.
"There was some braking when he hit the pole but he absolutely demolished the pole and the frame on the car was extremely strong and it just bowed in. He must have been doing a fair rate of knots when he hit it," he said.
Mr Watts praised the actions of the rescuers.
"He started to have some light blistering. Much longer and he would've been [in trouble]," he said. "He was extensively trapped. It was a rally car so all the extra reinforcing made it harder to get him out."
Once freed, Mr West - who was conscious throughout the ordeal - was treated, driven to the BayTrust Rescue Helicopter that was parked in a nearby field and flown to Rotorua Hospital with fractured legs.
It was also a close call for two spectators who were sitting about 2m away from the power pole, Mr Watts said. The charred remains of their chairs could be seen beside the blackened bush.
Nearby residents Warrick and Melissa Mortensen knew there had been a crash when the power went out as they were having lunch at home.
They came out to see what was going on and found the crash had taken place exactly where they and their young baby had been watching from earlier in the day.
"There was fire in the sky and everything," Mr Mortensen said.
Motorsport New Zealand general manager Brian Budd said the driver was still in hospital with broken bones but his injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
He expected to receive a full report from the club that organised the event tomorrow.
"It is motor racing and it does happen," he said.

Nine seconds into the second quarter tonight, referee Derek Richardson was running across half court and felt water splash over his head. Richardson looked up at the Verizon Center roof and saw water streaming from above. He blew his whistle and halted the action. At a basketball game, playing indoors, the Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets had found themselves in a rain delay.
With 11:51 left in the second and the score tied at 29, a stubborn leak in the roof delayed the game for more than half an hour. Players craned their necks at the source. Fans murmured and tried to figure out what was going on. Refs sat on the scorer's table. Somebody placed two trash cans on top of a pile of soggy towels at midcourt in front of the scorer's table. After a while, a third trash can was brought out.
A few players wrapped ice around their shins and knees. Most of them shot around — in-game warm-ups. The Wizards mascot, G-Whiz, goofed with James Harden. Ball boys rushed around the edges of the court. There was a lot of looking up.
Rockets center Dwight Howard pulled 10-year-old Sandro Dussek from the front row, gave him a ball and crouched into a defensive stance: they were playing one-on-one. Howard allowed Dussek drive to the hoop, and then he cracked up as he swatted Dussek's shot into the stands.
Dussek, a point guard on his team in McLean, had been coming to Wizards game for four years. Now, the kid with shaggy blond hair and a John Wall t-shirt had a new highlight.
Sandro was asked a few minutes after playing Howard, What was it like?
"Fun!" he said.
What about when Howard blocked your shot?
Sandro was still a little speechless.
As he took his seat next to his father near the Rockets bench, players assumed their positions, the trash cans and towels were put away and the game re-started with the Wizards and Rockets tied at 29. The Wizards had only a little bit better luck than Dussek against Howard. The Rockets promptly pulled ahead with a 30-13 run.

My good friend, David Greiner at Freshview is giving web standards in email a kick in the pants: Why we need standards support in HTML email. Hold up, I know what you are thinking... email is meant to be text only, we shouldn't do "design" in email. Come on, I know you were thinking it... well, put those thoughts aside for a second and read David's take on it all. No really, read the damn thing before commenting. He actually makes a damn good case for it.

Airlines Loving the Oil Drop
Airlines are the big winners of the IEA decision to open the oil reserve taps.
The reason: oil accounts for 40% of their operational costs, and they've been recently squeezed by high oil prices.
So today airline stocks are doing a victory lap: AMR, which owns American Airlines, is up 5.7% to $6.08. United Continental Holdings is 5.5% higher at $25.30. Delta Airlines is up 4.8% at $10.05.
The Dow transports, meanwhile, are easily outperforming the rest of the market, down just 0.6%. They're up 3% for the year now; just a couple of weeks ago they were in the red for the year.

Bridgepoint Hires Goldman Sachs for Sale of Dutch Textbook FirmKiel Porter, Celeste Perri and Maud van Gaal
Bridgepoint Advisers Ltd. hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to oversee a potential sale of Dutch textbook publisher Noordhoff Uitgevers, just as the government tries to rein in the cost of school materials.
The private-equity firm will separate Noordhoff from the group of education assets it acquired from Wolters Kluwer NV, said two people with knowledge of the talks, who asked not to be identified because the London-based firm hasn't made the process public. The firm paid about 774 million euros ($1 billion) for the businesses in 2007 and renamed the group Infinitas.
"Goldman Sachs has been appointed to help explore strategic options" for Noordhoff Uitgevers, Infinitas said in an e-mailed statement today. Officials at Bridgepoint and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
The Dutch undersecretary for education yesterday announced plans to stop funding free textbooks for secondary school pupils. From 2015, parents will be required to pay as much as 300 euros a year for books. Noordhoff sells textbooks for Dutch children to use from primary school through university. The company has 355 employees and has also developed study kits used on the iPad, according to its website.
Private-equity firms typically pool money from pension plans and endowments with a mandate to buy companies within five to six years, then sell them and return the money and a profit after 10 years. The firms usually charge a management fee of as much as 2 percent and keep 20 percent of the profits from investments. Bridgepoint raised 4.8 billion euros for its fourth pool of capital in 2008.

I've picked up the needles after over a year away from them. I decided I would make a relatively simple afghan. Here's the thing though, I'm baffled at the beginning of the pattern. Please don't laugh at me because this is a really silly question.It says to knit rows 1-8. Okay. But if I knit one row and turn it over, don't I have to purl the other side? I know this is a silly question. Please help. I bought a ton of yarn and I don't want to mess it up.
It depends on the look of the pattern. Does the pattern say to knit 8 rows of stockinette or does it just say to knit 8 rows? You don't HAVE TO purl the wrong side of every garment you do. If you did that you'd end up with nothing but stockinette stitch and that would get kind of boring after a while.
From the way you have the pattern listed above, it looks like you are just knitting those first 8 rows. It sounds like the pattern begins with a garter stitch border. Garter stitch is the result you get from knitting every row for two or more rows. It looks like a series of horizontal bumps going across your rows and it looks like that on both sides.
Stockinette stitch is what you get when you alternate a knit row with a purl row. At least when you are doing it flat. One side of it will look like a series of V's next to one another going across and the other side will look like a horizontal series of bumps.
Thanks! It doesn't say to knit in stockinette. Gosh - amazing what you can forget after you put the needles down for a bit of time.
It's normal to have a garter stitch border at the edges, and knitting every row gives you that.
I guess I should ask this other question.This is what I am making. http://www.dailyknitter.com/iris.html
It looks really small in the photo so I think I'm actually going to double up the pattern to make it twice as large. I shouldn't have any hassle in doing that if I increase the number of stitches to 176 from 88, right?
I figured this was a good, easy project to get back into the knitting groove. I'm not quite prepared for anything more than knits and purls at this point.
Yup. Thats a garter stitch edge. You are just going to knit the first 8 rows.
Rats, my previous answer got eaten....
No you don't just double the sts, there's 4 sts on each side in garter stitch that you don't repeat across the row. Take off 8 from the 88 which gives you 80 then double that for 160 sts, and add the 8 sts back on. So you actually cast on 168 sts.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I didn't do the math. Twenty stitches make up the pattern! You guys are the best!
Right, and if 168 turns out too big you can do 128 or 148.

Steamboat Springs The Atira Group plans to contribute an additional $235,000 to affordable housing in a bid to loosen the tie vote that blocked approval of its Thunderhead project last month.
The redevelopment project at the base of Steamboat Ski Area was tabled until April after a motion to approve the project failed in a 3-3 vote of the Steamboat Springs City Council in February. Although there are seven City Council members, Councilman Jon Quinn has stepped down on items involving The Atira Group because he has done work for them privately.
Debate at the February meeting centered on the project's requested variances - including two proposed buildings more than 100 feet tall and 30 feet above code - and whether the project included enough public benefit to offset those requests.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Atira Vice President for Development Mark Mathews presented a revised summary of public benefits that included the $235,000 contribution. That amount is in addition to $2.6 million Atira already has proposed to pay to satisfy the city's affordable housing ordinance.
For projects seeking substantial variances at the base area, the city ranks public benefits by priority. Additional affordable housing is one of the city's first-tier public benefits. Atira already proposed a second top-tier public benefit, economic sustainability, by accommodating nightly rentals in the project.
In the second tier, Atira has proposed a public turnaround in Ski Time Square Drive and donating permanent space to the Yampa Valley Medical Center for its injured skier transport center. Also, the project will seek a silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Other public benefits include public restrooms, landscaping and other amenities.
Although Mathews said the revised public benefits made for a better project, he also didn't hesitate to note that the new proposal is more expensive, too. He said public benefits now account for 1.6 percent of the estimated construction cost of Thunderhead. Mathews said The Atira Group would not be able to accommodate some council members' request at the February hearing that the building be reduced in size by one story.
"The requested height we have is necessary to create a feasible project," he said.
All three council members who voted against the project in February - Meg Bentley, Walter Magill and Steve Ivancie - said Tuesday that Atira was on the right track toward winning their approval.
"I still have concerns with the height," Ivancie said, "but I think all along it just had to be mitigated with public benefit. : This goes a long way toward that."

text: social media New Electronic World, Same Rules By Sarah Boden • Mar 25, 2016 The Iowa Supreme Court says a man found guilty of attempted murder and robbery won't get a new trial, even though inaccurate reporting on a local news website was possibly seen by members of the jury. The case required justices to consider how its harder for jurors to avoid information that may prejudice them during a trial in the age of social media. Theodore Gathercole was found guilty in 2014. At the trial, jurors were frequently told to ignore print and broadcast accounts of the case.

Can't get any better than this. Take a minute to enjoy the rain garden, outside of the Main Library, next to the parking lot! It's not in full bloom, the Coneflowers aren't out yet, but it's still a beautiful site to see. That just means that every day for the next few weeks there will be something new to admire. Today when I stopped out, I was able to watch this butterfly hop from bloom to bloom:
The rain garden plants look like they have matured and filled in very nicely in the years since the staff members on the Green Team planted them back on Earth Day 2008. The garden is made up of native plants and flowers designed to help keep storm-water runoff out of the sewer systems. So any runoff from our parking lot or the roof of our building, gets filitered through this system before flowing into the Grand River, unlike the water that goes directly into the sewer system. It is a great place to enjoy beauty and see how well we can work with mother nature.

4. Lease Renewal Agreement – Cardwell Funeral Home, 3571 Ridgewood Avenue
Motion to approve the lease renewal agreement as presented was made by Member Burnette, and Seconded by Member Kennedy.
Margaret Roberts, City Attorney, asked for a revision because the environmental study has not come in yet. She would ask that the lease not be signed until the reports are reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and City Manager.
Motion to modify for approval subject to the City Attorney and City Manager has reviewed and approved the environmental study was made by Member Burnette, and Seconded by Member Kennedy.
Member Talluto asked why the reports are important. Mr. Kisela said there are chemicals on site that Staff continues to monitor.
Member Ford asked that Staff have these documents be provided ahead of time for review. Ms. Roberts said it is the leaseholder's responsibility.
Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
5. Adult Center Annex update from City Attorney
Ms. Roberts advised that the title report has been delayed. The title company is working on it. There have been some issues with the documents.
Member Kennedy asked how the title issues affect the property long term. Ms. Roberts said she cannot assure Council that they will be able to convey clear title.
Member Ford feels like Council is making decisions without full legal opinions and guidelines. He asked if the Attorney's Office needs more resources to complete the legal issues involved in the Riverwalk project.
6. Concept Plan changes from Applicant
Mr. Kisela said if the Adult Center Annex cannot be conveyed in the property exchange, the changes being considered will move the buildings north.
Parker Mychenberg, Design Engineer, discussed the changes because of the Senior Center. The buildings have moved north and the buildings have 70 feet in between them. They have encroached into the right of way that will be vacated. Dave's Pest Control property is not under contract yet, but discussions are ongoing. They believe they are close to an agreement.
Councilman Kennedy thanked them for maintaining the 70 feet in between the buildings.
Councilman Bastian asked about the changes in the parking. Mr. Mychenberg provided details of the round-abouts and cul-de-sacs. There spaces shown in this concept are on properties they currently own and anticipate owning from Dave's Pest Control.
Vice Mayor Burnette asked how much encroachment is there into the easement. Mr. Mychenberg said approximately 35 feet into the right of way. Margaret Roberts, City Attorney, advised that the City cannot take money for selling right of way.
Councilman Ford is not opposed to the changes in the conceptual plan. He is glad to see the additional parking in the center. He still wants to see the details before fully endorsing the project.
Member Talluto asked about the space in between the buildings. He thought the original discussion was 80 feet in between the buildings. Mr. Kisela said the space has changed a few times depending on the status of the Adult Center. The Adult Center has to be used for park and public lands.
Discussion was held regarding changes in the parking areas and timelines. Mr. Kisela said temporary parking would be on the eastside. After two years, it would shift to the westside. Mr. Mychenberg advised that they have received the necessary permits for the plan being presented.
The CRA Board supported the temporary parking and the concept plan.
7. Public Comments
There were none.

Butler advances after a 76-69 win over Washington St.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Kellen Dunham scored 32 points and Khyle Marshall added 30 as Butler beat Washington State 76-69 Thursday in the first round of the Old Spice Classic.
Dunham set a tournament record for points in a game.
Butler (5-0) will face No. 5 Oklahoma State in Friday's semifinals. The Cowboys, behind 30 points from Marcus Smart that had tied the tourney record at the time, downed Purdue 97-87 earlier Thursday.
DaVonte Lacy had 26 points for Washington State (2-3), which has lost three in a row.
A tight affair saw the teams stay within three points of each other most of the second half.
Dunham hit a 3 and Kameron Woods followed with a dunk after a steal to put Butler ahead 70-67 with just under 2 minutes to play. After Washington State missed a pair of free throws, Dunham nailed another long-distance jumper and made two free throws to make it 75-67 with 21.7 seconds remaining.
Marshall had 14 points to help Butler take a 30-26 halftime lead.
