Evergreen High School students were on lockdown for about 10 minutes between noon and 2 p.m. Tuesday after a Conifer High School senior allegedly attacked a student, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. The suspected assailant, who is 17, then left the school, and authorities were still looking for him at 3 p.m.
The victim was not seriously hurt.
This year's Evergreen High School marching band is the little band that could.
Its motto easily could be, "I think I can; I think I can."
After overcoming some difficult challenges over the past few years, the band and color guard with 62 students are going to the state competition in Grand Junction this weekend for the first time in six years.
And all it took was a little confidence, according to Wiley Cruse, the school's new instrumental music teacher.
An Evergreen group that promotes sustainability and energy conservation has received an $11,680 grant from the Governor's Energy Office to stage a community-wide, heat-related utility-bill reduction contest.
The brainchild of Ginny Ades and the Evergreen Alliance for Sustainability, the contest is called "Biggest Loser — Watt and Therm Edition."
Ruth Crosson of Evergreen has had a lifelong love of dogs — so much so that she has collected more than 700 miniature dog figurines.
Crosson, 92, put half her collection on display at Green Ridge Meadow Apartments on Saturday as her farewell to the animals she knows so well. She put out pieces that were less breakable than others, so children could touch them.
She says that, at her age, she needs to find a new home for the animals, and she's hoping that the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys will take the entire collection.
Candidates galore are turning out for the opportunity to be one of nine members of the inaugural board of the downtown Evergreen Economic Development Council. With nominations closed, 14 people have submitted their names for nine available positions.
Candidates will be featured guests at a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 3 at Mountain Home in the Evergreen Design Center, 27965 Meadow Drive.
Former Foothills fire chief John Kilpatrick has filed a lawsuit in federal district court, asking for $500,000 plus attorney fees for various damages, including loss of wages and benefits.
The board hired Kilpatrick to be its full-time chief at a salary of $65,000 a year as of Jan. 1, 2010, but he was fired without warning at a special meeting of the board of directors on Aug. 30.
Kilpatrick was accused of improperly authorizing to himself payments for insurance and overtime, consisting of $2,372, and $2,500, respectively.
Annual Alternative Gift Fair benefits charities around the world

The 10th annual Alternative Gift Fair, formerly known as the Alternative Christmas Fair, sets up shop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, and Sunday, Nov. 14, at Evergreen Lutheran Church, 5980 Highway 73.
A bow hunter legally killed an elk on a fairway at the Hiwan Golf Club on Oct. 11 with the approval of golf course officials, infuriating some of the homeowners who live on the fringe of the golf course.
"I think it's like hunting fish in a barrel. They are tame. They don't know. … We chose to live here with the wildlife, but we did not choose to live in a hunting range," said Gloria Bradfield, whose property borders the golf course.
The fire ban in unincorporated Jefferson County was lifted as of Thursday, Oct. 14, and new stage 1 temporary fire restrictions have been issued for all areas, according to the Jeffco Sheriff's Office. The fire danger condition continues to be high within the county.
Under the restrictions, campfires are allowed in charcoal fire grates in a developed park or campgrounds, but smoking in most places except a car or building continues to be prohibited.

Raijintek Themis CPU Cooler Review
Raijintek is the new underdog in the world of PC components and peripherals. Seeking to make a name for themselves with quality products that break the mold when it comes to performance per dollar, the competition will need to stay on their toes if they want to avoid being taken off guard by Raijintek in the future.
Today, I focus on Raijintek's Themis CPU cooler. It is definitely a great deal smaller than the Ereboss I tested previously. The Themis features three 8 mm heatpipes, fifty-four aluminum cooling fins and a 120 x 25 mm 1800 RPM fan. While not on the same level as be quiet!'s Dark Rock Pro 2, Raijintek's Themis CPU cooler could prove to be a budget contender. That said, let's test the Themis to see if it turns out to be a champ or chump… at techPowerUp!

text: Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum but I have been reading countless threads for a long time since I have recently been in the market for a wrx. I figured I would come here for some advice since this seems like the place to go for Subaru experts. Now to the question, I have been looking for a WRX for about two months now and today I got to test drive an '02 that had a few mods on it. The car has 123k miles on it and the seller has replaced the stock intake with an AEM cold air intake, he replaced the stock exhaust with a nameless 3" turbo-back exhaust, and he got the Cobb Acessport 2 software with a stage 2 tune. The guy told me that he had the Cobb installed by a Subaru shop and they had the turbo boosting at 15lbs. The car is still running on stock fuel injectors, stock water pump, the ORIGINAL timing belt, and the stock turbo charger. He didnt replace the up pipe, or the headers when he did the exhaust. So I guess my question is does this sound like a good buy? Or will I have to spend $1500 fixing it in the near future? Oh and by the way the guy is asking $8500 for the car.

"Thinking Inside The Box"
Cam Bishop
The funding is beside the point. It is the integrity of the researcher which matters.
If anyone slurring Randy Oliver has some evidence that he has manipulated results in some way due to an association with Bayer then put it on the table.
Otherwise, just leave out the innuendo.
Innuendo and conspiracy theory is the sure sign of someone with no real argument.
Probably not even worth defending Randy, this last page or so of posts on the matter was started by a fact, Bayer paid him for some work, and an insinuation, being that's made him twist his work. Seems like those who want to jump on board will not be persuaded otherwise. Evidence is not required.
I've seen "research" that's set up within certain parameters to try to prove the desired result. Don't see it in Randy's work.
Research designed to give a certain result is usually fairly easy to expose if the studies are looked at properly.
So you guys go. As stated if someone has evidence of wrongdoing put it on the table. If you cannot find any, it's a fair assumption there isn't any.

I don't blame neonic's as the sole cause of bee survival. I blame monoculture that creates the demand for neonic's which is only one item that is hurting the planet.

Now the trick is to convince farmers they need to make less money.

Bayer employs 1000 people in Australia and NZ combined, with likely the bulk in Australia. Combined sales are A$891. Obviously Bayer pays taxes to the Australian government.Divided into three business groups, Bayer HealthCare, Bayer CropScience and Bayer MaterialScience, Bayer employs around 1000 people in Australia and New Zealand, and 111,800 people worldwide. In 2012 Bayer generated A$891 million (NZ$1144 million) in revenue in Australia and New Zealand.
So now we have established a financial link between Bayer and Praxis178. Funny how that works!

Different pollens have different combinations of amino acids.
Monoculture is a disaster for bee nutrition.
The roundup ready form of agriculture is maybe what needs examination rather than the neonicotinoids.
There have been proposals in Europe about obliging farmers to intercrop forage strips of bee friendly plants at the margins to mitigate the negative effect of monoculture on bees and other pollinators.
A lot of the problems associated with modern agriculture actually have workable solutions which achieve a compromise between the needs of the food producers and the needs of the pollinators -other than calling for a ban and ignoring the consequences.

Brian: I am living in the heart of the farm belt. What is happening mirrors what has happened in our economy at large. Bigger farms and fewer farmers. The most efficient that make best use of "modern" farming practices that maximize yields are the ones with the capital to purchase more farm land and on and on it goes. Unfortunately the old farming practices are just becoming a distant memory. Many farmers used to eke out a living on a quarter section of land, now that ground may bring a million and a half dollars. When the old farmer is gone its not surprising what the majority of the heirs choose to do with the land.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Farms will only get larger. In 1965, when I first began to date the "farmer's daughter", there were close to 100 farm families, today there are 3. Of course, there are also numerous 'Vertical Farming" arrangements, but it's hard to call these farms... IMHO. For example... my wife's nephew raises 500000 chickens at a time in numerous industrial quality buidings.. the main job seems to be picking up dead chickens and monitoring environmental quality guages.... much more like industry work than old time farming. Hogs, chickens, turkeys, are all done this way... vertical farming. I don't have a solution, people who suggest many small organic farms are the solution really do not know the problem.
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
still waiting . . . . .So you call Randy Oliver into question. And you don't even have the courage to do it clearly and distinctly. I challenge on that and now invite you to support that claim in detail tell us exactly what Randy has ever said that indicates his work is wrong suspect or unreliable. I say it is obvious that all apply liberally to your claim.

Because of the way the land lays here there are few flat fields bigger than 10 acres or so. So there is not much appeal to big ag to buy up land. We still have quite a few family farms. But the only common crop that will make a reliable profit is corn. And these guys love their "Monster (Monsanto) corn".
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Those comments are worth repeating. That one line, "Monoculture is a disaster for bee nutrition," is a variant on what I keep repeating in my head when I'm scouting new yard locations.Bees need a wide and varied pollen source to get all the amino acids they need.
Different pollens have different combinations of amino acids.
Monoculture is a disaster for bee nutrition.
The roundup ready form of agriculture is maybe what needs examination rather than the neonicotinoids. -jonathan
More than that, even if you find two or three crops, it's close enough to a monoculture to have the same sort of influence on bees.
I don't know if anyone else has caught it, but studies have been posted here in this thread, too, that state clearly that neonicotinoids are detectable in pollen in trace amounts if the neonicotinoids are present. Hardly the "doing damage but cannot be physically detected" phenomenon that has been asserted in some claims.

Our Cryin', Lovin' Or Leavin' Call For The Week – October 19 [Audio] [Video]
Well, the judges had quite a time trying to decide which call should win the dinner for two at Hooters of Albany. I won't call it a "Romantic" dinner because I received a lot of crazy comments about that.
This is good for a night out for two people. The caller that won this week is David from West Sand Lake. He dedicated Gettin' You Home by Chris Young to his girlfriend. The thing that caught the judges ear and chose his call is right at the end.
You can hear the call here.

Some planned protest blockages at border crossings in Canada on Saturday don't have the support of an Idle No More movement founder.
Blocking traffic sends the wrong message, said Jessica Gordon, one of the four founding members of the grassroots movement making waves across the nation.
"If anything, it just disrupts the flow of traffic and gets people upset," she said.
It's been difficult for her to keep up with the events scheduled in the name of Idle No More. She tries to post as many as she can to the website (http://idlenomore1.blogspot.ca/) and screens the events to make sure they are casual in nature. However, she's not the only person posting events on the website and sometimes ones like a border blockage can fall through the cracks, she said.
"If I'm posting, I've been able to look at that and make sure that they are all peaceful. That's what we've been saying from the beginning," she said.
"We've had pipes raised, prayers done, ceremonies and so on to ensure that we keep it peaceful and that's what we will respect."
Idle No More will continue despite Prime Minister Stephen Harper scheduling a meeting with a delegation of First Nations leaders for Jan. 11. Gordon, nor the other three Saskatchewan women who started the movement, were invited to the meeting.
Idle No More will not stop at anything less than repealing Bill C-45, said Gordon.

Where I stayed
I originally set the alarm for pretty early, thinking I could run over to Jallianwala Bagh when it first opened, before it became overloaded with tourists. But around 4am, the city started to wake and there were all the horns and people yelling, and pidgeons making a racket outside our window, so I decided to just let Rebecca get her rest (I knew I'd wake her up if I got up). So we woke up around 9am instead... took a little while to get moving, then called room service and asked them to deliver some toast, corn flakes, and an extra serving of milk so Rebecca could eat the muesli she's fallen in love with here
Room service eventually shows up, and there is a huge pile of toast, like 4 slices per person. And a gigantic bowl that looks like it's got half a box of corn flakes in it. Then Rebecca notices that the milk is warm. Not just warm, but so hot you can barely pick up the glass it's in. Oh great, hot milk and corn flakes... not my idea of a tasty breakfast. I ask Rebecca to mix in some of her muesli and that makes it all a little more palatable, but I'm already looking forward to a real lunch later. I'm not exactly sure why the milk is so frequently warmed here for breakfast. It's like the default... if you are having any kind of cereal, the milk has got to be hot. Oh well, it works out for people like Rebecca who find warm cereals yummy.
After breakfast, we walk the 3 blocks to Jallianwala Bagh. For those that don't know, Jallianwala Bagh is a place where a british general by the name of Dyer, marched in on a peachful, non-violent gathering and ordered his troups to open fire without warning. There were more than a thousand people gathered in the courtyard, but one of the most brutal parts of the story is that the courtyard only had one entrance and exit. And the british troops had taken up position blocking the exit. There is a pretty large well in the area, so lots of people jumped into the well in order to avoid the bullets
On our way out, Rebecca and I got approached by a group of young Indian men that wanted to take a picture with us. We consented and they started snapping pictures. One then another then another. It kept going on and on and a crowd actually started growing, including what looked like a large group of girls from a school, as they were all in a uniform of some sort. Rebecca finally started getting uncomfortable with the whole thing because it looked like it wasn't gonig to stop, and she didn't want to become a spectacle is this place that should have a certain amount of reverence to it. In this whole trip to Amritsar we haven't actually seen that many westerners. A handful in and around the golden temple (which is only like 2 blocks away), but aside from that and our hotel, hardly any. So I'm not sure if we were a sudden interest because we were white-skinned, or because we were white-skinned inside Jalianwala Bagh
After that, we headed back to the golden temple, because we realized we didn't get any pictures with us in them when we were there last night. So I at least wanted to get a picture with me in front of the golden temple before we left. So we went back, and turned in our shoes and washed our hands and feet and I bought a little black kerchief to cover my head. And we went inside and took some photos. This whole morning has been drizzling and rainy... so seeing Jalianwala Bagh in the rain with an overcast depressing sky kind of added to it a little. And seeing the golden temple with rain falling on the pool was also somewhat neat. I'd like to see it in bright sunlight someday, but that wasn't today
We were starting to get hungry, and Rebecca suggested that we do something inside so we can stay dry and warm. So the lonely planet said the fanciest restaurant in Amritsar is this place called the Crystal, and we found out there was a theater just down the street from it, so we decided we'd see a Bollywood movie while in India!
We take a tuk tuk to the Crystal, and hop out to be faced with 2 restraunts right next to each other, both of them are named the crystal. The tuk tuk driver motioned to the right one, and it had a sign in front that said something like "there is only one crystal and it's on the ground floor" so we went in there. So somebody obvioiusly read the lonely planet and decided there was an oppourtunity there to catch guillable tourists and they built a different restaurant named The Crystal right next to the first one. It's kinda sad, really. Anyway, we go inside the right one (literally) and order some pasta for lunch. Like a fettucini alfredo from Rebecca and something kinda similar but loaded with all sorts of green and red peppers
We finally pick a seat, and the seats are as comfortable of church pews circa 1940. That is to say straight-backed wood with worn off padding on the seat. And not enough leg room in front for my legs to exist in any position other than painfully rammed against the seat in front of me. I actually shove my fleece down between my knees and the sharp back of the seat in front to get a slight bit of comfort. People continually pile in through the doors, even though the movie started 10 mintues ago. And they are all talking in their outside voices and shouting at people on their cell phones and making a general ruckus. There were a couple of doormen trying to help peopple find seats, but it was mostly making sure that every possible seat had an ass sitting in it. At one point it gets hard to tell where the empty seats are, so this one doorman guy hits a switch and a old single light bulb crudely wired up to something in the wall. It looked totally sketch! Like a couple of stray somethngs could hit the wires, cause a spark and the whole place would burn to the ground. That's when I realized if there was anything of the sort in this place, we were totally screwed. I don't think there is any getting out of an Indian cinema once the movie has started. Rebecca noted the irony that they only turn on the light to make things easier 10 minutes into the movie.
Anyway, there were lots of shifting and stepping over seats and people chattering back and forth. About 15 minutes into the movie, people finally started calming down, and then the ticket collector showed up!! And he walks up and down every row getting a ticket from each person in a seat
The movie we went to go see is called Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. No idea what that means except it's somthing about dancing. And I wont give away any of the plot, but it's pretty cute, and we'll most likely share it with everybody on one of the upcoming Bollywood nights. Remember there are no subtitles here, so we kinda had to figure out everything from context. It wasn't actually that hard. Every once and awhile Rebecca and I would turn to each other and suggest our intepretation... like "This is the part where the parent makes a dying wish" or something like that. We've seen enough of them to know some of the formula elements, which are defenitely there in this one, But there is also enough new stuff to make it fun.
After the movie, we went back to the hotel and asked about local shopping. We were going to go to botique shop of the hotel guy's sister... but she was at the cinema watching a movie. So we just walked around old town, didn't really find anything interesting, so we just hung out the last hour or so until it was time for our flight
Our flight back to Delhi was very smooth, we were even 30 min ahead of schedule. But once we got to the airport, we had to wait more than an hour for our taxi to find us. The driver didn't speak any english, so we asked a local security guy to talk to him and explain where we were. So that resulted in lots and LOTS of talking and shouting and whatever else, but no progress. Rebecca and kept laughing at the absurdity of it because it didn't seem like there was that much to say to get it right, but there were probably 20 calls over the course of an hour and I don't even know how much time was spent talking and the guy was still lost. In the end, we actually got the taxi driver talking to a security underling that was very different in the way he talked to the guy. And when they started the conversation, Rebecca and I both said "Domestic Terminal!" which the guy repeated. Then it was like 10 more seconds on the phone and we were told the taxi guy had been at the international terminal this whole time. And Rebecca and I was like WTF??? why wasn't that the first question that everybody asked when talking to this guy??
I've kinda got this theory that communication is just different here in India. There have been a couple of occasions when we ask a local to help us communicate something, and there are lots and LOTS of words being said, and the conversation goes on for a long time, and then they will turn to us and say 3 words, maybe 4, to communicate what was just said. I don't know what they are talking about. But from the outside, it seems pretty funny sometimes.
We eventually got our taxi and made it home, paid too much... but we decided that was ok, because both the taxi driver and us both got screwed because of this misunderstanding. We came inside, had a little bit to eat and went downstairs to bed.

hi all,
I have a very big data set which is consist of hundreds of smaller
EXCEL table sheet.
Each EXCEL table sheet actually includes many county observations in one state.
To read the EXCEL in my STATA, I need first OPEN the EXCEL file and then SAVE it
as CSV form. However, this easy task seems very time consuming since
hundreds of
such sheet need to be open and save!
So, is there any easy to read the EXCEL sheet without saving it into CSV form?
Last, the EXCEL sheet actually includes a title and short description
notes at the
beginning of the sheet, which is very annoying.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Brief Synopsis
A one-armed veteran uncovers small-town secrets when he tries to visit an Asian-American war hero''s family.
One hot summer day in 1945, when the Streamliner train stops at the remote desert town of Black Rock, Arizona, for the first time in four years, the townspeople greet the visiting stranger, a one-armed man named John J. Macreedy, with suspicion and hostility. Hastings, the telegraph agent, learns that Macreedy wants to visit nearby Adobe Flat, whereupon he immediately telephones Pete Wirth, the hotel keeper. Explaining that war restrictions make it impossible for him to let a room, Pete is flustered when Macreedy reminds him that World War II ended several months earlier. Macreedy finally settles into a room, but cowboy Hector David soon enters and, for no apparent reason, challenges him to a fight. Macreedy is baffled by the town's hostility but remains calmly determined to reach his destination. As Macreedy tries unsuccessfully to rent a car, locals Reno Smith and Coley Trimble drive up. A group of men, some of them obviously jumpy, enter the hotel lobby and begin to talk. Doc Velie wonders aloud why Smith, Coley, Hector, Pete and Sam are so worried about the stranger, but Smith silences Doc and orders Hastings to get information about Macreedy's identity from a private detective in Los Angeles. Macreedy visits the sheriff's office and finds the head lawman, Tim Horn, just waking up from a drink-induced sleep. When Macreedy mentions that he is looking for a farmer named Kumoko in Adobe Flat, Tim becomes hostile, too, and refuses to answer the stranger's questions. Smith approaches Macreedy in the street and explains that Kumoko, having arrived in Adobe Flat just before the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, was soon shipped off to a relocation camp. Just then, Pete's sister Liz drives up in her jeep, and Macreedy rents the vehicle and heads for Adobe Flat. Smith is furious with Liz, but she insists that Macreedy will surely find nothing. Tim, protesting that he never really knew what happened to Kumoko, reminds Smith that he is still the law, but Smith only laughs at him. When the private detective telegraphs that there are no records available on Macreedy, Smith orders Coley to get rid of the stranger, adding that "these maimed guys are all troublemakers, do-gooders." Pete objects to this plan, and Doc tells Tim that the town, in blindly obeying Smith for so long, has lost its self-respect. At Adobe Flat, meanwhile, Macreedy finds nothing but a burned house, a deep well and some wildflowers growing in the dirt. As he returns to town, Coley races up behind him and rams him off of the road. Shaken but unhurt, Macreedy returns to Black Rock, where Coley calls him a roadhog. Macreedy finally decides to check out, but Pete informs him that the train will not arrive until the next morning, and Liz refuses to take him to the next town. Smith drives up and asks why Macreedy would look for "a lousy Jap farmer." Macreedy remarks that because wildflowers were growing at Adobe Flat, he believes something is buried there. Convinced that Smith is going to kill him, he then tries to telephone the state police, but Pete refuses to put the call through. Doc, telling Macreedy that he is "consumed by apathy," nonetheless offers his hearse as an escape vehicle, but the wires have been tampered with and the car will not start. Macreedy then attempts to telegraph the state police about his "urgent and dangerous situation," after which he pays a visit to the local bar. Smith and Coley enter, and Coley tries repeatedly to goad Macreedy into a fight. When Coley calls Macreedy a "yellow-bellied Jap lover," Macreedy injures him with several swift judo slices to the throat and neck. He then turns to Smith and openly accuses him of having murdered Kumoko. Hastings shows Smith the wire he never sent, whereupon Macreedy accuses the telegraph agent of having committed a federal offense. Smiling, Smith leaves, and Doc exclaims that this is the town's last chance to redeem itself. Defeated, the sheriff departs, but Pete admits to Doc and Macreedy that he has never forgotten what happened four years ago. Macreedy reveals that Kumoko's son Joe died in battle in Italy trying to save his life, and that he has come to Black Rock to give Kumoko the young man's medal. Upon hearing this, Doc and Pete reveal Kumoko's fate: Smith leased Adobe Flat to Kumoko, promising good land and plenty of water. Soon realizing that Smith had cheated him, Kumoko dug a sixty-foot well, thereby infuriating Smith. When Smith was turned down by the Marine recruiting office, he returned to Black Rock and got "patriotic drunk" with Coley, Pete, Hector and Sam. The men decided to scare Kumoko, and when the farmer locked his door, Smith began shooting. Kumoko's clothes caught fire, and as he ran from the house, Smith shot him. Abruptly, Pete calls Liz and asks for her help in getting Macreedy out of town. At night, Doc and Pete knock the watchful Hector unconscious, and Macreedy jumps into Liz's waiting jeep. Liz drives Macreedy into the desert, but she soon delivers her passenger to Smith, who is waiting in the rocks with his rifle. Explaining that he wants no witnesses, Smith shoots Liz dead and then starts shooting at Macreedy as Macreedy hides behind the jeep. Macreedy fills a glass bottle with gasoline from the jeep, stuffs his tie into the neck and touches his lighter to the bottle. When he throws it at Smith, the bottle explodes, and Smith catches fire. Macreedy returns to town to find the four other murder witnesses locked in a cell. Later, as Macreedy walks to the train, Doc asks if Black Rock might have Kumoko's medal. Smiling, Macreedy gives Doc this token of courage and climbs onto the train.

Windows 8 may be getting mixed reviews from those who have used it, but a prominent stock analyst believes that the upcoming operating system, by itself, will add a full $8 to Microsoft's stock price.
The site Seeking Alpha notes that Microsoft's stock price has already climbed 30% since the beginning of the year. Despite that rise, however, the site believes that Microsoft's stock price will be spurred even more -- to the tune of $8 per share -- when Windows 8 is released.
For Microsoft, it seems that the stars are once again beginning to align perfectly for a second act -- a lot of which has to do with its flagship operating system. This time, it's with the soon to be released of Windows 8 -- an event that I think will immediately add $8 to the company's share price.
The site's reasoning is simple: Windows 8 was built with mobile devices in mind, mobile is where the growth it, and so the company has focused on its greatest growth opportunities.
Simple is the key word here...so simple, in fact, that I'd dismiss the site's conclusion. How much additional revenue is that $8-per-share estimate based on? The site doesn't say. How much additional mobile market share is the estimate based on? Again, there's no answer. Does the estimate take into account that some people may be so put off by the radically changed interface, they may switch from Windows PCs to Macs when they buy their next computer? Again, no answer.
Windows 8 will clearly help Microsoft in the mobile marketplace. But to the tune of $8 a share? You may as well pick any number out of a hat, because it would be as good an estimate as that.

Encyclopedia of Cooking [12-volume set]
by Mary Margaret McBride, Anne London (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is priceless to me. It is the only book my dad bought especially for me. 67 books in one. First pub in sections c1958.
I have this set, inherited from my mother, who inherited it from her mother. And there is a good reason why this spattered encyclopedia gets passed down in the family. Despite the truly horrific illustrations in lurid colour (imagine incredibly pink pork chops festooned with vibrantly yellow pineapple slices, dotted with embassingly pink-ish red maraschino cherries---- eeeeyaaah!), this set has EVERYTHING in it. Do you have an exuberance of pears? Well, pull out the index, look up "pears" and you will find cobblers, pies, cakes, some weird pork chop or casserole and many other ideas. Do you remember making a wonderful apple crisp but are missing the oatmeal? Go to the crisps and cobblers and it will give you several variations and suggestions for alternative ways of preparing the dish. Not sure what to do with quinces or persimmons? Need to know the inner temperature of a well-done vs. rare roast? It's there. Measurements, seasonalities of fruits and vegetables, cooking techniques. Nothing uber-fancy, no Julia Child cuisine here - just the basics - but ALL the basics in one.
I love this set, It is a little strange though.
Yet is has features that a lot of other books do not.
It's not just a cook book. It should be called a home maker book really.
In it's section for special diets, for diabetes. It lists all recipes using saccharin. But in brackets list how much sugar it's replacing so you can use any sweetener.
My fav recipe though is the Crown roast.
It starts with "take one can of spam per person".
Then shows you how to sculpt it to make it sorta look like a standing rib roast.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this site - your comments and discussions have been helpful in getting us up and running.
We just received our package bees (6) this week and got them installed. Everything went according to plan - except that we didn't use enough water on the first package and we had quite a few "flyers" zooming around for a short time. They settled down rather quickly though.
I am amazed at how gentle the bees that we purchased are. When we went in to examine the queen cages today there were quite a few bees that came out, landed and checked us out, and then went back to their own business. All the queens were released from their cages and each of the hives looked like it was thriving.
We decided to use the black plastic frames with built-in foundation. All six hives seem to have taken to them very well. We used Honey Bee Healthy mixed with sugar syrup and sprayed all of the frames before we put them in. The bees really seem to like that particular mixture.
The bees seem to be concentrating all of their wax building in the far corner of the hive body (away from the entrance). They are not (apparently) working on just one frame but instead look to be spread out across the top portion of about six frames - is this normal?
I have also noticed that there are now a lot of birds in the area where we put our apiary. I assume that they are eating some of our bees - but not enough to hurt anything. In general - do birds feed on bees in any significant number?
Our next inspection will be in a little over a week when we are planning on looking for capped brood and queen-rightness. Wish us good luck with this late start!

Nick Diaz Wants Main Event Fight When He Returns; Still Targeting Georges St-Pierre
havent posted anything in awhile... last thread was the Lombard can crusher photo on wikipedia!
Main event? Yes. Against GSP? No.
Maybe fight the winner of Fitch/Maia for a title shot?
Got to be honest, Id be happy to see him fight GSP in a main event as his comeback fight. that's the fight Im most excited for at WW.
Does he deserve it? No. Will it happen? Probably.
Dana loves Diaz so he's probably getting a fast track to the title shot. I'd say 1 W and it's GSP-Diaz.
3 Attachment(s)
Diaz vs Hendricks would be awsome. Such an intriguing matchup.
That insane one punch KO power against pitterpatter + iron chin. And not that I see it going there but high level wrestling against high level BJJ. I wanna see this fight so bad. GSP mauls them both tho so I'd like to see this fight before one of them are fed to him.
3 Attachment(s)
Normally I would say no way he gets to fight GSP on his return fight but then again Sonnen is fighting for the belt in a higher weight class coming off a loss with no other people who deserve the shot way more than him so I will keep my mouth shut.
At least Diaz is near the top of his weight class and there has been a lot of hype for this fight for years. Still think Hendricks get the GSP fight and then Diaz if Nick can stay sober that long... that is a big if though.
Guy suspended making demands. So full of sh!t, Nick.
I agree Dana probably hates him, but sees the upcoming profit more than anything.
One thing will be nice, to see Nick frustrated for being rag dolled for five rounds against GSP.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If you are looking to do a planted tank on the cheap, I'd highly recommend going low-tech. (plus, it's a bit less maintenance). You might need to cut down on the light a bit, but I'm not very well versed in that aspect. If you can't cut down on the number of tubes, you could just throw in a bunch of floaters, or use some screen or something.
I'm not sure about how to deal with the plants getting pulled up by fish. If you can get them established, something like anubias, java fern, bolbitis, etc. that attach directly to rocks/wood might help. They also tend to be pretty tough, durable plants in general.
If you go low-tech, you really won't need CO2. As to substrate, if you go with capped dirt, I'm not sure the cap is all that important, a lot of people here (and elsewhere) have had good luck with both pool filter sand and blasting grit, which are relatively cheap. SafeTsorb and similar products are also pretty cheap, and have high CEC, but also tend to be lighter (makes initial planting more difficult, etc.).
Maybe try keeping some lettuce clipped into the tank at all times, or some other (relatively) cheap food source, to try and distract the fishes from the plants? I don't know, it sounds like those might just not go well in a planted tank
Substrate and plants
I want to change my tanks substrate from gravel to a sandy one to support plants better than gravel does. I am getting a nice light fixture for my 35gal tank. It comes with 4 T5 3900K and two moon led lights as well and has a timer. Want tips for substrates for plants that keep the roots held down nicely, I have a 8inch Pleco and a African Upside Down Catfish who both pull the plants out and eat them very quickly.Fertilizers is not a concern, I have a liquid one. Also a cheap way to do C02, we have a computer from when my dad did coral tanks that reads all the levels. But this is my tank, so I really make $100 a week, so cheap plants and a cheap way to do C02 is wanted. I currently have 12 Amazon swords, 4 are little while 8 are large, and 2 water Lilly bulbs, the African keeps the bulb and plants eaten to the roots, but that should change with the new lights coming. I want to do more plants that look nice and grow quickly to match my fish veracious appetites and are cheap as well. We will be bulding a home made sump real soon, and hopefully get the bio balls going.

Last Tango in Paris (1972) Ultimo tango a Parigi http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070849/ Last Tango in Paris (Italian: Ultimo Tango a Parigi) is a 1973 film directed by Italian Bernardo Bertolucci which tells the story of an American widower who is drawn into a sexual relationship with a young, soon-to-be-married Parisian woman. It stars Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider and Jean-Pierre Léaud. The film was given an X rating by the MPAA upon initial release. After revisions were made to the MPAA ratings code, it was classified as an NC-17 in 1997. MGM released a censored R-rated cut in 1981. The main stars should have been Dominique Sanda, who developed the original idea with Bertolucci, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, but Trintignant refused to do it, and, when Brando accepted, Sanda was pregnant and decided not to do it.The movie was written by Bernardo Bertolucci, Franco Arcalli and Agnès Varda (additional dialogue) and was novelized by Robert Alley. It was directed by Bertolucci and cinematography by Vittorio Storaro. Agnès Varda also based the last scenes on the death of Jim Morrison in Paris that occurred the previous year. The orchestral jazz soundtrack was composed by Gato Barbieri, and arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson.The film caused a tremendous scandal for an anal rape scene featuring the use of butter as a lubricant.The scene is not explicit by contemporary standards ? no penetration or ejaculation was shown.It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Marlon Brando) and Best Director (Bernardo Bertolucci). In reference to the anal-sex scene, Ms. Schneider was quoted in the July 23, 2007, issue of the New York Post (which in turn got the quote from London's Daily Mail) as saying: "That scene wasn't in the original script. The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea . . . I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script." As they shot the scene, "I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped . . . Thankfully, there was just one take." Ms. Schneider was 19 years old when she appeared in the film. Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci Produced by Alberto Grimaldi Written by Story:Bernardo Bertolucci Screenplay:Bernardo Bertolucci,Franco Arcalli Additional dialogue:Agnès Varda Starring Marlon Brando Maria Schneider Jean-Pierre Léaud Distributed by United Artists Release date(s) February 7, 1973 Running time 127 Min Language French English Resolution...................: 624 x 352 Codec........................: XviD, 2 Pass mode Bitrate......................: Avg. 950 kBit/s Format.......................: MP3 SampleRate...................: 48000 Hz Bitrate......................: 128 kBit/s Subtittles...................: English hard coded Enjoy!

According to Tribune, Tompolo made the allegation in a letter he wroteto President Buhari. In the letter, Tompolo reportedly said the PDP defectors, who are now members of the APC, from Warri South West Local Government Area of the state had resolved to link him to the renewed vandalism of oil installations in the state.
He alleged that the APC new comers were planning against him in connivance with a lawyer attached to the EFCC who is also a member of the APC. He also questioned the moral rights of the EFCC counsel handling the alleged N13 billion land fraud in which he is involved in.
According to him, the EFCC lawyer who is after him was doing so because he (Tompolo) rejected an offer to buy choice properties from him.
"The crux of this letter is to let you know that they are dubious, mischievous, desperate, pretentious, manipulative and corrupt, therefore they do not share the same vision and mission with you as well as do not believe in good governance," he stated.

AN ADVERT featuring a kung-fu fight between a hungry bear and a determined fisherman has been voted the funniest of all time.
Chosen by the advertising industry itself, the commercial for John West tinned salmon beat offerings from beer giants, mobile phone companies and a leading cigar brand.
The advert, filmed in 2000 on the River Dee, was an instant success and won awards at the British Television Advertising Awards and the Cannes International Advertising Festival in 2001.
It went on to become a global phenomenon through the internet and has been viewed by an estimated 300 million people around the world, according to the advertising trade paper Campaign.
The advert also saw the Aberdeen and Grampian Tourist Board receive hundreds of inquiries from big-game hunters about visiting Deeside – chosen because it resembles Alaska.
In second place was an advert for Blackcurrant Tango, made in 1996, in which the brand's fictional spokesman, Ray Gardner, leads a march of hundreds to Dover's white cliffs. There he strips to purple shorts and stands in a boxing ring challenging France and the rest of the world after being criticised by a French exchange student.
Third place went to the 1989 Hamlet cigar advert starring Gregor Fisher, in which he is seen squirming inside a passport photo booth while attempting to adjust his comb-over hairstyle, before giving up and lighting a cigar to the strains of Bach's Air on a G string.
Ed Brooke, from the advertising creatives the Leith Agency, said: "Clever use of comedy in advertising often helps to build empathy and relationships between brands and consumers.
"Broadcast regulations often rule out a lot of humorous areas so when you create an extremely funny and original TV ad, it's all the more rewarding.
"The John West bear is a truly great ad. It's as fresh and funny now as when it first ran – humour that stands the test of time."
Beer ads dominate the list. In fourth place was a John Smith's ad in which Peter Kay rings his young daughter from a curry house to tell her not to be frightened of monsters, but to watch out for burglars.
Most of the adverts in the top ten were made in the 1980s, suggesting the decade was something of a golden age.
Humour, though, does not guarantee sales. Richard Wiseman, a professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, said: "People may remember a funny advert but they will usually have forgotten the product it's advertising."

Sam Koch really improved
He boomed it in the preseason, and right now he is #4 in the NFL/#3 in the AFC with 48.4 yards per punt (about , but he is #2 in the NFL/#1 in the AFC with a net average of 44.0, only.1 yard behind the NFL leader!
His average punt is just shy of 5 yards better than last year, and the net is a full 8 yards better than last year - that's a ton! Think of that in the field position battle...
That's good special teams and good punting...
Re: Sam Koch really improved
Using yardage as a measurable is way overrated. The fact that both he and Stover kept pinning Cribbs on the sideline is way more important.

Re: Sam Koch really improved
Actually if you think about it net yardage is not overrated, and it actually is the litmus test of the punt, its hang time, and the return. You can boom it 60 yards but if the other teams returns it 40 you have a net 20. Pinning Cribbs is directly captured through net yardage, as would letting him run one back right up the middle. No other way coaches have to measure the success of that.
Nothing overrated about net yardage at all, ST coaches watch it closely. And 8 yards improvement there is a lot. It defines your success in field position. That's why the networks always show that stat "average starting position" because as we saw yesterday from both teams, drives starting at your opponent's 45 are a much better opportunity than from your own 15.
Re: Sam Koch really improved
And people were questioning our hiring of a ST coach!

Research Center for Symptom Management
|School of Nursing
University of California, San Francisco
San Francisco, CA 94143-0606

The goal of the Research Center for Symptom Management (RCSM) is to advance the knowledge in the field of symptom management and, thereby, improve health care providers' practice and individuals' symptom outcomes.
Symptoms are the most common reason people seek health care. Symptoms are a major problem for individuals and their families since their management and resulting outcomes are often their own responsibility. Many people wonder if they are "doing the right thing" and if their symptom management strategies are appropriate.
If symptom control is not achieved, frequently individuals' valued activities are disrupted and their quality of life adversely affected. At the same time, health care providers have difficulty developing symptom management strategies that can be applied in the acute care, ambulatory care, and home care settings because there are few tested models of symptom management.
(See Note Below)
Note for Symptom Management Model
Permission to Use Model (shown above). The most recent presentation of the Symptom Management Model appears as Humphreys, J., et. al., in Smith, M.J. and Liehr, P.R. (eds., 2014). Middle Range Theory for Nursing. Chapter 7. Theory of Symptom Management. New York: Springer Publishing Company.Please feel free to use the model in your own work, however, if you wish to use the model in a published work, all issues concerning permissions should be directed to the following e-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com, using the following citation:

RCSM Overall Aims
The overall aims of the RCSM are to:
- Develop the subdiscipline of symptom management across health science disciplines and across health care settings by elucidating and testing a Model of Symptom Management;
- Improve individuals' health status, by decreasing symptom morbidity and thereby enhance their quality of life, with particular emphasis on specific cultural and ethnic groups;
- Prepare scientists in Nursing and other disciplines by interdisciplinary training in the area of symptom management; and
- Create mechanisms for synergy, cooperation, and collaboration among interdisciplinary clinical investigators working in the area of symptom management.
The immediate strategies to achieve these aims are to:
- establish the organizational unit of administrative, support, and research development and dissemination cores; to facilitate the ongoing work of the eleven currently funded grants and the three pilot studies already underway; -->
- to formally link clinical research efforts in symptom management; and
- to provide accessible central resources to RCSM affiliated faculty.

Research Center for Symptom Management
UCSF School of Nursing
This program centers on symptom experience, intervention strategies, and outcomes related to pain, dyspnea, or fatigue and sleep disturbance. Symptom clusters and mental health symptoms are also addressed.
Emphasis is placed on dimensions of the symptom, biological and genetic markers, qualitative and quantitative methods, and designing studies using therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes. Outcomes can include reduced symptoms, improved quality of life, and economic cost savings.
Trainees have the opportunity to pursue research training with faculty in the School of Nursing, faculty throughout the University and clinical service agencies in the San Francisco area.
The University and the diverse populations of the San Francisco area offer unique opportunities for the pursuit of research with minority populations. The School of Nursing is building a culturally diverse faculty and student body to address the health care needs of our society. We are committed to underrepresented populations.
- Prepare trainees with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research and scholarly activities related to symptom experience, management, and health-related outcomes,
- Mentor trainees to develop and implement programs of research on these symptoms in diverse populations across the illness trajectory in a variety of health care settings,
- Prepare trainees with grantsmanship skills that include writing, conducting, and administering a funded grant, and
- Increase the number of ethnically diverse nurse scholars prepared to conduct research on symptom management.
Predoctoral Training Program
The training program includes the approved PhD curriculum and quarterly ProSeminars dealing specifically with critical analysis of research issues related to symptoms. ProSeminars include (Fall) biopsychosocial and cultural influences on perception, evaluation and response to symptoms, (Winter) management strategies for individuals and families, and (Spring) valid and reliable measures of outcomes such as quality of life, health care utilization, and cost (Spring). These ProSeminars may be repeated for credit during the trainee's program of study. More involvement and higher expectations are required as trainees advance in the program.
In addition to the required courses in the School of Nursing, trainees will have an opportunity to take courses at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, and at Stanford University. They also have the opportunity to participate in courses and weekly conferences and specialty grand rounds offered through the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy at UCSF.
Predoctoral trainees do research residencies with funded research teams on aspects of symptom management. The residencies focus on learning skills related to data collection and management, assessment, measurement in human and animal models, and grant management. These experiences are facilitated by active involvement in a core faculty member's research. After predoctoral students have passed their qualifying examination, ProSeminars also offer an opportunity to complete a teaching residency.
Postdoctoral Training Program
Postdoctoral training is tailored to individual needs focused on complex issues and advanced methodologies related to symptoms. In addition to Fall, Winter, and Spring ProSeminars, Summer Quarter offers a seminar on grants management and grant writing activities that include abstracts, progress reports, and final reports.
Additional time is spent in weekly scholarly dialogue to develop papers and grant proposals. Clinical and teaching residencies are optional.
Throughout the 2-year postdoctoral program, research residency experiences will be tailored to individual goals. Since many of the faculty have overlapping projects, trainees have opportunities to observe how different research teams function and how investigators from a variety of disciplines collaborate.

Every dog is special. In fact, one rescue thinks they're more… posh. Posh Pets Rescue in New York City has the dogs of their city and region tied to their heartstrings and they're always being tugged. They're bent on saving every dog they can, no matter their background or needs and many times are very literally pulling dogs of euthanization tables and eventually placing them in loving homes. Read more about Posh Pets, their work, struggles and success stories in this edition of the BestBulySticks.com Rescue Spotlight!
When & Why did you start?
In March 2000, our founder Linda Vetrano walked into the NYC shelter and offered to take care of a little dog needing medical care. The shelter gave her a ten-year-old, female Chihuahua, and Linda took the little dog straight to her vet and then to her home. So began Posh Pets Rescue and the reason for our motto, "You don't have to be perfect to be Posh." For a decade, Linda ran Posh Pets on her own, with the help of several dedicated volunteers and foster parents. After starting out as foster parents, Melissa McClellan joined the board in 2010 and Viktoria Somorjai joined the team in 2011. All of us started rescuing for the same reason: we saw how many healthy or treatable dogs and cats were dying every day in NYC's shelters. Instead of waiting for someone else to do something about it, we decided to become a part of the solution.
What's different about your rescue?
We are an all-breed, all-age, all-medical condition, all-behavioral evaluation rescue. The vast majority of our pets are from NYC Animal Care and Control, a lot of them saved from being euthanized. We don't have a facility; we operate out of foster homes and use paid boarding if necessary. The vast majority of our supporters donate no more $10-$25 at a time, yet we often take the dogs and cats others may not want to spend the money on. We believe we have to help in our own backyard before we start getting shipped pets to us from all over the country. We also only adopt out locally; in case we need to intervene, we need to be close enough to do so. We take forever responsibility for all the pets we place; if the adopters have to return them, whether after two days, or several years, we take them back. Once they are Posh Pets, they are always Posh Pets.
What is the greatest success story or "win" that your rescue has had?
It is almost impossible to choose only one. We place 600-700 pets each year, and many of them were considered "hopeless" at some point. We could choose Diamond, the one-eared brown Pit whom Posh Pets founder Linda Vetrano literally and physically pulled off of the euth table. We could choose Foya, the mangy Pit from the euth list, who spend over a year in boarding and training with countless behavioral issues, and was later adopted by the only foster who had ever decided she was worth opening her home to. We could choose Loops, the 15 year-old Beagle, who had been found in a trash bag near Brooklyn ACC, and who not only pulled through, but is now living in his fur-ever home in Pennsylvania. We could choose Hershey, the brown Labrador or Siara, the pocket Pit, who both had to have one of their legs amputated. We could choose Max, the 15 year-old Chihuahua, who arrived at Manhattan ACC so emaciated and with so low a body temperature that our volunteers thought they were only picking him up to take him to be humanely euthanized, and who went on to live nine more happy months with his fur-ever family. We could choose one of the countless little, smaller dogs who everyone would think should be considered "highly adoptable," but came to us with severe behavioral issues and took a long time to find their homes. The list is endless.
What's the most rewarding thing about working at your rescue?
Receiving happy updates from adopters. Knowing that a dog or cat someone once threw away like a used tissue is now a family's treasured friend.
What can people do to help your rescue?
Since we are a very small rescue with most of the core of the organization working full-time jobs, it is extremely hard for us to find the time for fundraising. (Don't ask us about our outstanding vet bills.) Any help with our clumsy fundraising efforts would be essential. Since we don't have a facility (shelter,) we are always in need of loving, dedicated foster homes (in or very close to our base, New York City.)
A big thank you to Posh Pets for all the work they do rescuing, rehabilitating and homing dogs in the New York City area. To find out more about this amazing rescue, visit Posh Pet's Facebook or their website. Thank you to Nyssa Calkin of Diamond Cut Images for letting us use the wonderful photo of Hershey!

For the crew of Royal Netherlands Navy, the HNLMS Zeeland, it was a another day at sea, heading south toward Key West for a port visit.
However, that changed when about 75 miles northeast of West Palm Beach, the Zeeland stumbled across a capsized 24-foot center console vessel with seven suspected migrants clinging atop the hull of the boat. There were three more dead bodies inside the hull, the Seventh Coast Guard Coast Guard reported Thursday.
A fourth person has been confirmed dead Friday, Coast Guard Petty Office Sabrina Laberdesque said from her Miami office on Friday.
"It is still under investigation, so I cannot release anymore information as to ages, gender or where they are from," she said.
Laberdesque wouldn't confirm if the migrants were Cuban or Haitian, or if they would be transported back to their home country.
"We will have to meet with all agencies involved to decide what to do from here," she said. "That could take a couple of days or more."
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Seventh District command center in Miami received a report early Thursday afternoon from the Royal Netherlands Navy Zeeland of the capsized boat. The Coast Guard Cutter Richard Etheridge and an HC-130 from Air Station Clearwater were sent to the scene.
The suspected migrants were then transferred from the Zeeland to the Coast Guard cutter Richard Etheridge and finally to shore.
"There are no medical concerns at this time (with the migrants)," Laberdesque said.
Customs and Border Protection were not involved in the case, U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Charge Frank Miller said.
"The leadership of Department of Homeland Security will meet and decide what to do with the migrants," he said. "There are different variables involved. It is a presidential directive that all the agencies involved get together and decide what to do, regardless of the nation they are from. They will have to go before an immigration judge."
Miller did not believe the rescued migrants were from Cuba.
The Zeeland arrived on time in Key West Friday morning and unloaded the boat.

Artist Harry came up with the goods!
Many people love the big head little body style of caricature artist Luis and these recent examples of his work shows off his flexibility in creating caricatures perfect for gifts.
People have ordered caricature gift art from Luis for birthday, wedding, retirement and end of course occasions!
See more of Luis's work here on this blog or at his sample and order page on the main website.
Comic and cartoony are words that have been used to describe the art produced by caricature artist Shane.
Loved by those who receive his work even if it is for a corporate 'pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey (see recent work below).
As you can see by these recent jobs, the results are very fun!
You can see more of his samples here on this blog or on his sample and order page on the main website.
In true street art style caricature artist Eddie brings summer fun to his art. Here are some recent works.
Simple in his approach, the results display subtle humor
Great for any gift giving occasion, so if you need a gift idea for retirement, wedding or birthday, think caricatureking.com and Eddie.
As you can see from this image, caricature does not have to be about distortion – it can be more like art capturing a moment in a way not possible with a camera. The original photo of this moment was poor quality, the exposure was bad and small. But by using a couple more photos of each of the subjects, the artist was able to do what a photo could not……
Lovers – she is frozen in the moment, savoring his touch….art by Harry.
Every day is lover's day…order your lovers art for a lasting memento.

So installed a boost gauge last night, so this is the first time in the 4 months i've had the car that i can monitor the boost..,
But when i'm driving and pushing the car kinda hard i noticed that in 3rd and 4th the boost gets up to 17 psi. Is this normal?
I'm just asking because i thought the stock boost only went to around 13.5 psi or something in that area.
I also just installed a TBE if that changes anything, but i still think these boost numbers are pretty high.
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance

Dalai Lama Bio-Manga to Be Published in English
Hero of the Tibetan independence movement, spiritual leader to millions of Buddhists, Nobel Peace Prize winner and noted "Star Trek: The Next Generation" fan the Dalai Lama is the subject of a new biography. Titled simply "The 14th Dalai Lama," the story of, well, the 14th Dalai Lama (also known as Tenzin Gyasto) is presented in manga form by author Tetsu Saiwai. The book was previously published in Japanese and will be reissued in English by Penguin Books on September 28.The Dalai Lama was recognized as such when he was only two-years-old, as depicted in Saiwai's book, which a CNN review describes as a "hybrid comic book/graphic novel" (a curious description that reveals yet more mainstream confusion about the definitions of comics and graphic novels). The story follows the Dalai Lama from his childhood innocence to a realization of his own elitism to his ultimately futile dealings with China to his eventual exile. The Dalai Lama has been very busy since then, mainly as an advocate for Tibet's independence from China and world peace in general, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1989.
