About a month ago I received a call about a tree that came down in a bad storm. The temperature was 38 degrees when we checked out the feral colony in the piece of trunk on the ground. The log was in pretty bad shape - split and broken (we secured some pieces with screws and a strap). My bee mentor (50 years experience) and I cut the other end and because of the weather moved log, bees and all to my bee yard. Because of the damage to the log, I covered the log with a moving blanket and tarp and laid it on a skid sitting on concrete blocks. We didn't know if the bees would survive... but they did.
Now I have a horizontal log full of bees - doing well. It would not really be possible to sit the log on end and place a hive body on top because of the damage. It is still cold here in Ohio, but they find their way around on warm days.
The $64,000 question? How in the world do I get them out of the log and into a hive EASILY? Can I block all entrances but one on top (Which could be difficult to do)and find a way to mount a piece of plywood with a super on top over that entrance so they have to move through the super? Will the queen move up?
I am relatively new and am at a loss.

In China, The Party Is The Problem
It wasn't the type of public display Chinese television viewers are used to seeing from their taciturn leaders. Speaking at a eulogy for Deng Xiaoping, who died on Feb. 19, President Jiang Zemin openly sobbed as he praised the Communist Party patriarch and vowed a "deepening" of the reforms Deng launched 18 years ago.
Whether it was heartfelt or merely political theater, Jiang's emotional performance conveyed the enormous strain he will face in living up to his promise to "make greater contributions" than his predecessor. It's true that Jiang, 70, has amassed the most powerful titles in China, including head of the party, state, and military. But it is unclear whether he can tackle the biggest challenge of all: reforming China's Communist Party and easing its iron grip on power.
COLLISION. Beijing's reluctance to reform its stifling political system affects much more than the freedom to dissent. The party wields enormous economic influence through powerful ministries, and cadres and their children hold posts in state and local enterprises. The upside is that many influential Communist leaders now have a vested interest in preventing any big rollback of market reforms. "Everybody who has any power supports reform for selfish reasons," says Shan Li, Hong Kong-based executive director at Goldman, Sachs (Asia).
But the interests of the cadres often collide with the interests of the market. The courts now play a bigger role in mediating business disputes, but fairness quickly disappears when a well-connected official is involved in a controversy. People are free to start small shops and buy stocks, but they are forbidden from organizing an independent chamber of commerce or publishing an unapproved financial newsletter.
The party's pervasiveness also impedes the privatization of state enterprises. Some leaders, eager to preserve one of socialism's last bastions, want to bolster the state sector rather than shrink it. Furthermore, cadres running these companies do not want to lose power or perks. State dinosaurs account for about 40% of industrial output and have run up $240 billion in bad loans.
The party's supremacy meanwhile places limits on the reform of China's arbitrary legal system. Lately, there has been some progress, such as a new criminal procedure law that limits the time suspects can be held without charge. But an independent judiciary would undercut the party's control.
As leaders jockey for power in the runup to the 15th Party Congress, some may seize on these issues. The chairman of the National People's Congress, Qiao Shi, has been calling for a greater rule of law. And on a recent trip to Shanghai and Jiangsu Province, Qiao declared there must be a "sense of urgency" in reforming state enterprises. Jiang and other politicians are vulnerable to attacks from hard-liners as well. Days after Deng's death, Maoist ideologue Deng Liqun (no relation to Deng Xiaoping) bitterly attacked Jiang and Deng for undermining the state sector and veering from Marxist doctrine.
PLAYING SAFE. There are legitimate reasons for the party to worry. One is fear that workers will take to the streets to protest job losses and revolt against party and government leaders. Diplomatic sources say that as many as 60% of workers at state companies in the northern industrial city of Shenyang have not been paid for months. Similar problems are arising in Tianjin, a city not far from Beijing.
Keeping the economy churning is especially important because, with the demise of Marxism as a credible ideology, there is little other justification for the party's dictatorship. But rather than float big new ideas for running China now, Jiang is sticking to safer themes. One is his ongoing call for a "spiritual civilization," a combination of nationalism and traditional Chinese and socialist values that apparently is meant to fill the ideological void.
The risk is that social pressures will explode, perhaps because of a sharp economic downturn. That would force the party to come up with a new justification for retaining control. But if Jiang has his own grand vision, so far he has not articulated it. To survive in the long run, Deng's heirs will need to demonstrate more than an ability to look out for No.1.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels
Ryder and the Detroit Wheels returned to the charts weeks later with their reading of "Little Latin Lupe Lu," scoring their biggest hit that autumn with the Top Five smash "Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly." "Sock It to Me Baby!" followed in early 1967, but at Crewe's insistence, Ryder soon split from the rest of the band to mount a solo career; the move proved disastrous -- outside of the Top 30 entry "What Now My Love," the hits quickly and permanently dried up. In 1969, Ryder teamed with Booker T. & the MG's for an LP titled The Detroit-Memphis Experiment before returning home and reuniting with Badanjek in a new seven-piece lineup known simply as Detroit. The group's lone LP, a self-titled effort issued in 1971, remains a minor classic, yielding a major FM radio hit with its cover of Lou Reed's "Rock and Roll"; however, the years of performing were taking their toll, and as Ryder began suffering more and more from severe throat problems, he retired from music, relocating to the Denver area in 1973. In time he began writing songs with wife Kimberley, also taking up painting and working on a novel.
Ryder resurfaced in 1978 on his own Seeds and Stems label with How I Spent My Vacation, his first new LP in seven years; Naked But Not Dead appeared a year later, and he continued his prolific output in 1981 with two new efforts, Live Talkies and Got Change for a Million? In 1983 ardent fan John Cougar Mellencamp agreed to produce Ryder's major-label comeback, Never Kick a Sleeping Dog, which generated a minor hit with its cover of the Prince classic "When You Were Mine" but otherwise failed to return the singer to mainstream success, at least at home -- in Europe, and particularly in Germany, he retained a large fan following, releasing In the China Shop on the German label Line in 1986. After satirizing the Iran-Contra debacle with the 1987 single "Good Golly, Ask Ollie," Ryder issued the full-length Red Blood, White Mink the following year; subsequent efforts include 1990's The Beautiful Toulang Sunset, 1992's La Gash, and 1994's Rite of Passage. He continued touring steadily in the years to follow and also worked on an autobiography. Ryder's first new studio album in nearly 30 years, the Don Was-produced The Promise, appeared in 2012. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

EDISON, N.J. – Sophomore pitcher Janine Lalli (Eastchester, N.Y.) was honored by the MAAC in the conference's weekly award announcement on Monday as the Pitcher of the Week. The conference's top pitcher for the second time this second, she was recognized for her efforts in the circle versus Lafayette and Niagara.
Lalli led Marist's pitching effort for the week as she hurled the Red Foxes' fifth shutout of the season with a career-best one hit performance at home versus Lafayette on April 10. After Wednesday's stellar outing, she came back on the weekend in MAAC play with an important save of Emily Osterhaus' Game One start at Niagara by striking out the first two Purple Eagles that she saw. In Game Two, Lalli got the call to start and held Niagara hitless until the fourth inning. For the week, Lalli threw 13.2 innings and allowed just three earned runs on nine hits for a 1.54 ERA, while striking out seven batters and posting a 1-1 record with a save.
This honor is the third of Lalli's career, as she earned a Pitcher of the Week award nod on March 4, 2013 and a Rookie of the Week honor in 2012.
During the 2013 season, the Marist softball team has garnered seven weekly awards as Lalli is joined by Emily Osterhaus, a three-time winner, Melanie White (Pitcher of the Week, 3/18) and Kyrsten Van Natta (Rookie of the Week, 3/5).
Marist (15-17, 4-2 MAAC) will be back in action on Tuesday, April 16 with a doubleheader matchup on the road versus Columbia; Game One is slated for a 3 p.m. start.

Upping the Ante
By Emily M. White
When stakes are high in a
rocky economy, the World Market
Center seeks to fulfill positive
expectations for a new year
According to Robert Maricich, president and ceo of the World Market Center (WMC) in Las Vegas, to help the home fashions industry ring in the new decade, themes like strength, power and optimism will reign supreme at the winter market, Feb. 1-5, 2010.
"Those in attendance will have succeeded in an historically competitive economy, and the Las Vegas Market will celebrate that while addressing how retailers can not only survive, but thrive in 2010," says Maricich. "In addition to a strong display of new products, Las Vegas' February market will be a meaningful exchange of the latest trends, research, business strategies and inspirations that benefits all facets of the trade—retailers, designers and suppliers. The content will be highly relevant to those who are 'playing to win' and looking for new competitive advantages in today's marketplace."
The WMC is also partnering with the Western Home Furnishings Association (WHFA) to produce a dynamic "Academy Series" which is being married to the popular "Business Survival" series and will take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during Las Vegas Market at 4:30 p.m., followed by a reception.
As for what 2010 will bring the WMC, Maricich expects to see results. "At a time when all businesses require introspection and must challenge themselves to create more value, the WMC is proud to embark on strategic decisions that, based on input from many of our manufacturers, have the potential to optimize sales for their business and expand their channels of distribution," he says.
Business aside, it looks like the newest introductions are also putting on a strong display, with traditional and contemporary looks toned down in traditional color palettes.
The Italian Delphi Collection from SDH Enterprises consists of two jacquard patterns, Delphi and Santorini, which feature sweeping abstract florals with a marbled effect and two percales: Capri Percale and Channel Stripe. In addition, SDH is introducing a new cover, Corfu, which is a geometric pattern, machine washable Italian mattelasse. In particular, SDH notes its Capri Percale, which is a luxurious long staple Egyptian cotton spun in Italy into a super fine twisted yarn that is then dyed using only eco-friendly low impact dyes.

The top sheet/blanket is then accompanied by a fitted sheet featuring the patented DreamFit™ technology and two reversible pillowcase shams. The reversible pillowcase shams provide a traditional pillowcase side for comfort and sleeping. The quilted sham side may be turned up for fashion.

For a splash of exotic design, from Liora Manne's Lamontage™ line and TransOcean Rugs, the Java Diamond rug is ethnic in design, but rooted in traditional colors like indigo.
The contemporary Night Music rug from Foreign Accents is hand-tufted and hand-carved in India from 100 percent New Zealand wool. Its energetic pattern is toned down in soft shades of white, grey, mulberry and cranberry on a deep black background.
Amity Home's Black and White bedding is hand-made of soft, pure cotton with an easy-care finish that ensures that the bedding emerges smooth and soft from the dryer, and eliminates the need for ironing. Interior corner ties keep the duvet in place.

Étoffe Makara's Arronde Bedding Collection features its signature pairing of a velvet and dupioni silk with faux-wolf fur accents.

Pom Pom at Home's newest product is its Louwie Organic Duvet, a 100 percent certified organic duvet that is machine washable and dryable. The duvet comes with a lightly wrinkled finish for a lived-in comfortable feel.
Daniel Stuart Studio's Ashley Floral Sienna Bed is the latest trend in fashion bedding. Romantic florals in rich colors and velvety textures offer consumers a way to sleep on a bed of roses time and again.

Snowblower engine problem
Hello looking for help with Ariens Snoblower with Techumseh 7 hp Sno King engine. I'll start off with engine was stored last spring with properly stabilized gas, oil was changed for storage, shaft greased and drive belt adjusted. We just had our first real storm of the season. Engine started fine without difficulty after 10 min of operation engine began surging when not throwing snow. Once load was applied to engine i.e. "snow throwing" problem cleared. After finishing driveway took it into the heated garage. Took carb off motor, the bowl was clean no sign of rust or debris, float, needle valve and seat all in proper order. I drained remaining gas from tank refilled with fresh gas. Re started engine without difficulty, took snow blower back out and problem returned. Any Suggestions? Thank you
Water in the gas, water in the system, varnished up fuel components, would be my guess, but it sounds like you took care of all that. Try cleaning the fuel system with a carb cleaner, especially carb jets.
I have seen a few cases over the years where the little vent hole in the gas cap gets plugged up and the engine surges when not under load. That is probably not it but it seems like you kinda have everything else covered. I would concur with the other response and say take apart the carb and clean it all with carb cleaner and put it together but check that vent hole too.

I'd drag the carrots over the back of the boat and the rabbit would swim after the carrots and the wolf would swim after the rabbit.
The idea of naming the results "Turd" and "Copra" was this: They are all crap results, just different types of crap.
The cause of the problem with the search engine results is the abuse of AdSense and not the underlying algorithm.
Google can set guidelines all day long and there are those people who will ignore the guidelines. Everytime that Google makes a change to its algorithm someone will find a hole and make a lot of money with AdSense for a short period of time.
if Google wanted to really stop this it would put emphasis on cleaning up the spam AdSense sites from the AdSense side. It would be a simple matter of assigning people to look at the sites that have the largest AdSense income. Those sites could be reviewed and the sites that have spam involved could be simply removed from the AdSense system. Sites that complied with the Google Guidelines could be flagged and would not have to be reviewed often.
Any sites such as this billion page site would suddenly come on the radar scope and an AdSense person would hopefully note the sudden increase in AdSense income and review the site.
It does not seem that it would take that long for the reviewer's to knock off the largest spammers. Within a short time thousands of spam sites would be removed from the search engine results. As they started from the top down they would even eventually find that some of the big sites such as the news sites do not have to be reviewed for violation of the guidelines. With time they would start getting into the lower income spam sites and they would also get to them by removing them from AdSense.
Google has AdSense people now monitoring sites and canceling accounts. So the concept of monitoring should not be something new to them.
But such activity would cut into the Google AdSense income. So it is better for Google to let Web Masters go in circles chasing data centers by data center watching than to have Google look at the people abusing the AdSense system. As long as Web Masters keeps themselves going in circles about the lack of the success of the algorithm the Web Masters and Google will not look at the real problem which is Google AdSense.
Google might have some real problems if it cured the Google AdSense problem because that would cut into the Google income.
The horrible search engine results, gentlemen, is the symptom and not the problem. You are watching this symptoms when you are watching the data centers and you are not watching the problem. And Google is probably very happy to have you do that. Because if they cure the problem they are liable to cut into their income.
"The idea of naming the results "Turd" and "Copra" was this: They are all crap results, just different types of crap."
Don't know whether that has something to do with the vacation season of Google Search Quality Team ;-)
Long Vactions = Crap Results :-)
Matt Cutts 'holiday' is a joke. He's purposely told us he's off somewhere not to be inundatted because he knew this was on the horizon.
The idea that a search engine geek, or any type of geek, especially one who works for Google, would take a six week break and not look at the internet for six weeks is laughable.
The cause of the problem with the search engine results is the abuse of AdSense and not the underlying algorithm.
Or, perhaps, Google could manually approve all domains running Adsense.
Problem is, that would be hugely expensive for them. Not so much from the resources required to run the program, but from the lost revenue as a result of the program's success.
Quite frankly, this would be the responsible thing for them to do. Adsense is literally choking the internet.
I'm seeing a #6 result on 22.214.171.124 that has zero IBLs (according to Yahoo and Google) on a big money three word phrase (880K results).
Anyone else seeing top ten results that have no inbound links?"I'm seeing a #6 result on 22.214.171.124 that has zero IBLs "
This is normal if that page (pobably new no PR and IBL yet) belongs to a long established high PR site.
To clarify, the entire site has zero IBLs, not just the page that is appearing #6 (sometimes #7) for the search.
Can anyone sticky me a more comprehensive backlink checker than Yahoo's site explorer? I can't actually believe that the site has no IBLs and is ranking that high.
Time to start naming the update Brett! If this is not an update I don't know what is! Of course it hasn't been as radical in past updates but it surely must be something!
Not sure about other dcs.

Magick 101 #3: Alchemy, Magick, Politics
This post was written by Donald Michael Kraig
on August 1, 2011 | Comments (3)
[Part One of this Series: Click HERE]
[Part Two of this Series: Click HERE]
An Alchemical Laboratory
Most people think of alchemy as a bunch of frauds trying to cheat people into thinking they could change lead (actually any base metal) into gold.
In actuality, alchemy is far more complex than that.
The challenge is that the original books and documents about alchemy are written in coded language. As a result, there are commonly three ways used in interpreting them.
- Sexual Alchemy: In this system the terms of alchemy are decoded as sexual terms, resulting in the production not of gold, but of a "magickal childe," your magickal goal. Until the late 20th century many, if not most books on sex magick were forms of sexual alchemy.
- Spiritual Alchemy: In this system the terms of alchemy are decoded in ways dealing with personal spiritual advancement. Thus, your goal is to turn the lead of your common, physical self into enlightened spiritual gold. A variation of this is Jung's psychological interpretation of alchemy.
- Practical Alchemy: Actually, there are two major goals in this form of alchemy. The first is to produce the "Philosopher's Stone" that will bring physical health and immortality. It is believed by some that the Count of St. Germain, seen in the drawing below, achieved this goal. [Note: St. Germain was his name. He was not sainted by any church, as some people seem to believe.]
An engraving of the Count of St. Germain by Nicolas Thomas
made in 1783, after a painting then owned by the Marquise d'Urfe and now apparently lost.
Contained at the Louvre in France
The second major goal of practical alchemy was to use a combination of spells, talismans, prayers, rituals, and genuine scientific practices and research in an attempt to turn one metal into a more valuable ore. Practical alchemy is the ancestor of chemistry and other physical sciences.
In 1915, Harvey Spencer Lewis, the founder and head of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, supposedly transmuted a piece of zinc into gold using little more than an open flame and a crucible. The accounts of this public demonstration have been published in the Order's magazine, The Rosicrucian Digest (March, 1942).
The Alchemist by Carl Spitzweg, circa 1860
The goal, of course, was to use alchemy to become wealthy. I know this next question seems odd, but it's important to ask it: Why be rich? Why have a lot of money?
Magick and Money
Money, itself, is kind of magickal. It's just pieces of paper or metal with sigils on it. It has no intrinsic value and is only considered valuable because society agrees to value it. The real value of money is that it can be traded for products. You can use money to buy things. If there were nothing to buy, money would be just pieces of paper and metal. (In some cultures other items ranging from small beads to enormous rocks [see the Rai stones of the island of Yap] have been used as money.)
Presentation of Yapese Rai Stone Money for the Inauguration of the Federated States of Micronesia, 1979
Having a pile of money is as meaningless as having a pile of stones or metal. You may give it some meaning, but intrinsically, a pile of stones or paper has no value. The value is in what you can get with it, ranging from a place to live to good health care, attracting a partner, having "power" over others, paying travel expenses, etc. In other words, money is magick.
Think of all the purposes you can for doing magick. Getting things for yourself. Helping others. Having the time to perform exercises for spiritual development. All of those things can be done with money. Money is a form of magick and magick can manifest as money.
External and Internal
In my first and second installments of this series, I focused on exercises and techniques you can do concerning improving yourself. They were forms of what might be called "inner magickal work": it's about changing yourself. But practical alchemy and many forms of magick are about changing your environment: getting things that are external to you, obtaining power, improving the things around you.
There is a myth that magicians live in high towers hidden away from civilization. The reality is that magicians are very social men and women. While they may focus on personal spiritual evolution, they're concerned about the people and the world around them. Magicians change the world.
In the first two lessons I shared instructions on how you can improve yourself. How, in lesson three, can I possibly give you an exercise or practice that can change the world?
The answer, and your work for this lesson, is to contact a legislator. Right now, people from Greece to the Middle East are putting their lives on the line challenging their governments. I'm not suggesting you need to do anything like that. Rather, I'm suggesting that you simply contact a legislator or two. Write a letter. Make a phone call. Email them. You can find out who your legislators are by doing a search on the internet.
Then, pick an issue and let your legislators know where you stand. Tell them when you agree with them. Tell them when you disagree. The sad truth is that in the U.S., few people vote and fewer people bother to contact the people in office. That means your voice matters. That means you can change the world. That means you can do magick.
Not all magick is done with spells and sigils. Some is done with phone calls and letter writing.

It's just not worth it; I don't care how good of a teammate he would be, or how hard he would work.
I agree with this too.Quote:
That's something the Ravens just don't need.
I'm not selling him as the Ravens' backup.
Just stating that he's better than his reputation, and that he'd be a decent backup for some team.
He's got a lot more Ben Roethelsberger in him, than he has Kyle Boller.
I miss Brett Favre
He's a dreadful QB, with awful mechanics, zero accuracy and got VERY lucky against the Steelers.
By all accounts he's a great leader and a great person in general but neither of those attributes make for a decent career in the NFL.
And yet every time he's been given a legitimate shot, all he's done is won football games.Quote:
He's a dreadful QB, with awful mechanics, zero accuracy
I'm not a big personal "cult of Tebow" guy... in fact, all that crap gets on my nerves. But games are won and lost by more than mechanics.
Then he will get picked up fast, right?
He'll be lucky to get a phone call.
That's kinda the point.
He's better than his reputation.
He had seven offensive plays for the Jets and six involved offensive penalties.
Why is this thread 4 pages long?
He's 8-6 lifetime.
How many other NFL QB's are 8-6 in their first 14 games?
Again, my point isn't that he friggin Roger Staubach... only that he's better than his reputation, and he'd make a decent NFL backup QB if not for the baggage of the Jets' experience.

I'm 5'1" and size 18 and I struggle to know what to wear. Can you please help me?Here are some styling tips I hope will help.
Scale is very important - ensure the size and scale of patterns, textures and accessories work with your size. It's all about balance.
Ensure the tops, skirts and dresses you wear are in proportion to your body. For example, if you were to wear a long tunic top with trousers, you may end up looking out of balance.
Wearing one colour, or tonally complementary colours, from top to bottom will add height to your appearance.
Wear heels if you can - this will add to your height.
Avoid heavy, structured fabrics and big, bold patterns and accessories - they could swamp you.
Don't buy clothes that are too big, bulky or wide looking. It may give the illusion of you being shorter than you really are.
Fitted clothes are your friend.
Keep away from Capri pants (short trousers) with wide hems - you're better off with a tapered style and a narrower hem. This goes for skirts as well; you're best to avoid wide skirts with lots of volume.
Avoid chunky platform shoes as they're likely to be too heavy looking for you, and also shoes with ankle straps as the strap cuts off your leg, so to speak, and can make you appear shorter.

[NOTE: This entry has been updated (5) as of 5:50 AM Eastern on 11 Oct. See below.]
Oh dear. That was most disappointing. Overall, a dramatically (as in drama) lackluster, even phlegmatic, performance from all, Jimmy and the band included. Beyond that, we always thought Terfel would make a fine Rheingold Wotan even though he'd never do for the Walküre and Siegfried Wotans, but it seems we were way wrong in that judgment. He sounded not only miscast vocally, the timbre of his voice lacking the necessary weight and gravitas, but his dramatic declamation was all but nonexistent even though he on occasion attempted to force it. It's not a good thing, not a good thing at all, when the Alberich comes across sounding more noble and commanding than the Wotan. Too bad. We trust the Lepage staging acquitted itself with more success.
Update (12:49 PM Eastern on 28 Sep): We're awaiting three in-house, MSM reviews of this Met premiere — viz., those by Alex Ross, Martin Bernheimer, and Anne Midgette — and will post links to them when published. From our experience, MSM reviews by the rest are mostly silence — or might as well be.
Update 2 (3:50 PM Eastern on 28 Sep): From Martin Bernheimer:
The eyes and ears of the music world were supposed to be magnetised by this epochal Rheingold. As a quixotic fate would have it, the ears fared better than the eyes. Much better.
Update 3 (10:26 PM Eastern on 1 Oct): Although we weren't looking for it, New York Magazine's Justin Davidson had some apposite commentary to offer:
In the first part of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, the god Wotan uses his sister-in-law as collateral for a new home. In a similar fit of recklessness, the Metropolitan Opera has bet its own house on a new Ring. The production by Robert Lepage, which will roll out over the next two years and serve the Met for many more (unless it bankrupts the company first), begins with a whiz-bang but verveless Das Rheingold, in which miracles of stagecraft alternate with long stretches of standing around, waiting for the computer-guided set to trundle into place.
Update 4 (5:44 AM Eastern on 11 Oct): Anne Midgette — who missed the premiere but caught up with the production this past Saturday — weighs in:
Lepage's Ring is utterly traditional: All the characters are taken at face value, with little effort to delve beneath the surface. All of the creative energy went into the set.
Update 5 (5:50 AM Eastern on 11 Oct): Alex Ross — who despite the delayed filing date was at the premiere — had this to say (New Yorker subscription required to read the full review):
Director Robert Lepage's production is a work in progress. The first two nights of the show had technical issues, and when the set stopped moving, the singers looked as though they were fending for themselves. The costumes were gaudy and the props not very godlike, making arrogant deities come off as glum and monochromatic.

Abercrombie Speaks Out Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
October 13, 1999
In-crowd casual clothier Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF), unlike many apparel retailers, doesn't issue regular same-store sales or earnings guidance, and the company's long-term focus alternately pleases and frustrates investors.
"The company's view," said company Investor Relations and Communications Director Lonnie Fogel in a StockTalk interview with the Fool this summer, "is I think investors are very shortsighted. We're trying to get people to look beyond the current week, the current month, even beyond the current quarter."
That changed today when the company sent out a press release saying third quarter-to-date same-store sales were up 12% after a "very strong" August and September back-to-school season. The back-to-school results, however, were offset in part by "less favorable" results from Abercrombie's regular October sales.
Abercrombie also said it remains comfortable with First Call's $0.31 consensus estimate for the quarter, which would represent 29% year-over-year growth from last year's $0.24. Look for results Nov. 9.
Why the sudden change of heart from Abercrombie?
It's a little baffling, given that the news wasn't particularly earthshaking and that the company's statement that back-to-school sales were strong speaks well to Abercrombie's continued excellence in merchandising and marketing. Keep in mind that where apparel companies are concerned, it's really August and September that matter most anyhow.
Nevertheless, somewhere along the line Abercrombie's information management went bad, forcing the company's hand.
Starting sometime late last week -- presumably Thursday night or Friday -- the shares started falling like a fraternity pledge after too much paddling. Following today's move, during which nearly 20% of the company's market value was gone by lunchtime, Abercrombie stock was well off its trading range of last week, during which it hung around the upper $30s.
Company officials heard enough and decided to stem the flow. Now, their job is to find out what happened, and investors need to consider the likelihood that someone in a position of power at the company -- who, it should be said, isn't clear -- leaked information to someone in the "investment community." While that may be par for the course in today's world, when a company works as hard as Abercrombie to manage information flow and something goes awry investors can really pay for it. In that context, Abercrombie's out-of-character move to pre-announce should probably be applauded.
Of course, there's still the little matter of the company's quarter. Some will say today's move is basically an indicator that investors were hoping for Q3 results to outdo Street estimates, as if a company's growth is best measured by the computations of a few MBAs as opposed to its own performance and goals. Keep in mind these analysts don't -- or at least shouldn't -- get monthly sales updates either.
Besides, as discussed by the Fool's Warren Gump in a recent Fool Plate Special, the company is an impressive performer and it looks to remain one for some time. The Q3 news doesn't appear particularly disappointing. Besides, the once white-hot shares had already been cooling of late, which makes the stock's fall over the last few days look especially outsized.
Here's a clue: count the number of brokerages that lowered their long-term ratings on Abercrombie over the last few days. The answer? None. In fact, only one -- Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. -- did any downgrading at all with a short-term "strong buy" cut to "buy." To the contrary, many are urging their clients to start shopping Abercrombie imm�diatement.
That's more like it. Investors should probably consider Abercrombie stock a serious sale opportunity while supplies last.

Mother seeks Presidential pardon
The mother who was jailed for three months for not giving her husband access to their teenage son has asked for a Presiden-tial Pardon.
The 57-year-old woman wrote a letter, through her lawyer Ludwig Caruana, to President George Abela asking him to issue a pardon as allowed in the Constitution of Malta.
A spokeswoman for the President's office said he had received the letter and had forwarded it to Justice Minister Chris Said "for his consideration and advice".
A petition asking for a pardon to be granted is also being circulated and will be presented to the President within the next few days.
The Constitution gives the President the power to "grant to any person concerned in or convicted of any offence a pardon". The request for the pardon first goes to the Justice Minister and is then referred to Cabinet that advises the President whether or not he should grant it.
Moviment Graffitti is also circulating a petition requesting a Presidential Pardon for the woman. Mary Grace Vella, from the movement, said the petition may be put online over the next few days.
Two weeks ago the appeals court confirmed a magistrate's decision to sentence the mother to three months' imprisonment for refusing to grant her ex-husband access to their son on 13 occasions.
Her son, who was 16 at the time, has told The Sunday Times that his mother never told him not to visit his father and he called on the courts to listen to children. He felt his mother did not deserve to be given the harshest punishment allowed by law in such cases.
His father disagreed, telling The Times that his ex-wife deserved what she got as she kept refusing him access to his son out of revenge.
Throughout the court case the mother insisted that she never told her son not to spend time with his father. He was old enough to decide and she did not push him when he did not want to go.
Speaking to The Times from prison on Wednesday – 15 days into her jail term – she said: "I never poisoned my son against his father – I didn't say good things but neither did I say anything bad."
On Wednesday night Moviment Graffitti held a vigil outside the prison in Paola to show solidarity with the woman.
Those who attended called for a pardon and urged the Government not to fire the woman, a teacher at a state school, once she gets out of prison.
Questions were sent to the Education Ministry on this point but the reply was that the issue fell under the Public Service Commission. The Times is waiting for replies from the Commission.

What's a Moleskine?
A moleskine is basically a designers prefers choice when it comes to notebooks. They come in many colors, sizes, and varieties, some are even guides to big cities like New York or Amsterdam. Also, they aren't cheesy like other notebooks, due to their high quality. Personally, I love mine because of the size, and the amounts of things I can do with it. The pocket in the back is also very useful.
From WikiPedia:
Moleskine is a brand of notebooks, planners, diaries, sketchbooks and albums manufactured by Moleskine Srl, an Italian company based in Milan. Moleskine notebooks are typically bound in oilcloth-covered cardboard, with an elastic band to hold the notebook closed, a sewn spine that allows it to lie flat when opened, cream colour paper, rounded corners, a ribbon bookmark, an expandable pocket inside the rear cover, all packed in a paper banderole.
Molekines are amazing notebooks. I use moleskine (its the ruled notebook) as a 'lifeplanner', in which holds planner pages and calendars which I draw out, my to-do lists, things I have to remember and whatever is on my mind. Plus, it's small, so I take it everywhere, and perfect for GTD.
What's GTD?
From the creator, David Allen himself;
GTD® is the popular shorthand for "Getting Things Done®", … by David Allen. David has continued to test and refine the techniques and principles we now know as GTD – a powerful method to manage commitments, information, and communication.
Sophisticated without being confining, the subtle effectiveness of GTD lies in its radically common sense notion that with a complete and current inventory of all your commitments, organized and reviewed in a systematic way, you can focus clearly, view your world from optimal angles and make trusted choices about what to do (and not do) at any moment.
Moleskines have been popular for using GTD techniques on, some which I use myself. Check out some of these amazing articles/tutorials!

Ok, where can I find these amazing things?
In personal experience, I have found moleskines at bookstores like Barnes & Nobles, but you can also buy them online. I suggest you check out the official catalogue, you'd be suprised how many types of moleskines there are!
PS. I bought my mom a moleskine planner on eBay, and well, she really likes it!
Do you use any kind of planner in your daily life? Let us know about it! 🙂

Re: VMax ported TB
Just install my RX throttle body ( didn't get a sticker ) along with the ice-olater and I can say it is a much smoother ride thru the RPM range,don't know how much HP I gained but is more responsive. I waiting now for my cable from Tracy and my tune for this 3.6DI and I let you all know if it was all worth it. But so far so good.As far as installation is concerned it is pretty easy on the throttle body very straight forward 4 bolts and a plug. Would like to see some instructions included with the black ice-olater that's a little more involved. Maybe someone can make something up for that install.

These two scripts wil setup an Aperture library to store images in a Year, Month, Day format.
There are many ways in Aperture to collect a selection of images and turn make them into a smart album or regular album; labels, ratings, keywords and flags are just a few of them.
I was playing around with Time Lapse Photography recently. Looking for a way to do it on the cheap. Automator has a nice way of doing this, using the action Take Picture or Take video snapshot (see Automator for the difference between the two).
In a recent post in the Apple Aperture discussion group someone asked if Aperture could delete the image files once they have been imported. One thing I should mention is that the images were being imported from a folder not the camera.
In a recent thread in Apple Aperture Discussions Show sizes in inches the OP wanted to have Aperture display the size of the image in inches. The only problem with the request is that an images doesn't have a size until the pixels meet the paper.
This is an Applescript which will take the current selection and search all albums in the current library for that image. A list of the albums which contain the image is displayed and the user can select one of the albums to go to.
If you download this applescript please take a moment to let me know. Comments are welcome.
Are we there yet?

The three-day, 54-hole event will feature a 17-team field playing on the Biltmore Golf Course. Scoring for the Invitational will be five players, count the low four scores each round playing in threesomes. The course will be set up for a par of 71 at 6,092 yards.
The Tournament Field
The Hurricane Invitational will feature a 17-team field, including Campbell, Daytona State, East Carolina, Iowa, Iowa State, James Madison, Kennesaw State, Longwood, Maryland, Mercer, Miami (A&B), Michigan, Middle Tennessee, Northwestern, Texas State, Texas Tech and South Florida.
The Tournament Schedule
Monday, March 3 -- First Round (18) -- 7:30 a.m. EST (tee times off No. 1 and No. 10)
Tuesday, March 4 -- Second Round (18) -- 7:30 a.m. EST (tee times off No. 1 and No. 10)
Wednesday, March 5 -- Final Round (18) -- 8 a.m. EST (shotgun)
The Tournament Lineup
U-M will travel seven players, including five starters and two players competing as individuals. Starting for the Maize and Blue will be freshman Grace Choi (Dallas, Texas/Woodrow Wilson HS), sophomore Catherine Peters (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence HS), senior Yugene Lee (Athens, Ga./Oconee County HS), junior Lauren Grogan (Columbus, Ohio/Bishop Watterson HS) and senior Alyssa Shimel (Pemberville, Ohio/Eastwood HS). The Michigan individuals competing in the tournament will be senior Chelsea Pezzola (Bradenton, Fla./Saint Stephens Episcopal Prep) and junior Devon Compton (Rochester Hills, Mich./Stoney Creek HS).
Michigan has competed in the Hurricane Invitational once before, in 2012, when it finished seventh in a 16-team field. Current Wolverines Alyssa Shimel, Yugene Lee and Lauren Grogan started for U-M in their last trip to Coral Gables, and Devon Compton competed as an individual.
When the Wolverines participated in the 2012 Hurricane Invitational, Alyssa Shimel earned a top-25 finish by tying for 22nd place with a 234 total. Yugene Lee tied for 37th place (239), while Lauren Grogan's score of 242 tied her for 45th place, and Devon Compton finished in 82nd (267) competing as an individual.
The Hurricane Invitational falls during U-M's spring break, which extends from Saturday, March 1, to Sunday, March 9. After competing in the tournament, the Wolverines will remain in the Miami area until Saturday, March 8, to get in a few more practice rounds in warm weather before returning to Ann Arbor.
In the Lady Puerto Rico Classic, Grace Choi set a new career best for a 54-hole tournament with her 224 total, shaving one stroke off her previous best of 225, which she set at the Palmetto Intercollegiate at Turtle Point (Oct. 27-28).
Grace Choi earned her second consecutive top-25 finish, marking the third such finish for any Wolverine this season. Lauren Grogan finished 19th at the Challenge at Onion Creek, and Choi finished 20th at the Palmetto Intercollegiate at Turtle Point.
After starting 10 events last season, Lauren Grogan has continued playing in every event this season. She has started 18 consecutive events for U-M.
Alyssa Shimel and Yugene Lee are U-M's most experienced players with 34 and 35 career events, respectively. Shimel has started all 35 of her career events, while Lee has totaled 31 starts thus far.
The Hurricane Invitational marks the second of five spring events for the Wolverines. Michigan's spring slate had one change; U-M will now compete in the Hoya Invitational (March 31-April 1) instead of the event originally scheduled at San Diego State.
Freshman Grace Choi closed the fall season as U-M's scoring leader with a 76.64 per-round average, recording her first career top-20 finish at the Palmetto Intercollegiate (Oct. 27-28) to close out the fall season. She fired a career-best and team-best 71 in the third round of the Onion Creek Invitational (Sept. 30-Oct. 1).
Grace Choi continues to improve with each closing round as she typically scores 76.2 in the first round and 77.4 in the second round before closing with 74.75 in the final round.
Lauren Grogan continues to keep pace with her play from a season ago. After closing her sophomore season with a 76.87 scoring average, she has maintained that this season, averaging 76.91 per round.
U-M opened its spring season by tallying a 917 team total (304-307-306) to finish 13th in the Lady Puerto Rico Classic held Feb. 16-18 at the Rio Mar Country Club River Course in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The Wolverines were led by a tie for 24th place for Grace Choi, whose 224 total gave her a 54-hole personal low and a top-25 finish in back-to-back events. Finishing behind Choi were Catherine Peters, who tied for 34th, Yugene Lee (tie-50th), Lauren Grogan (tie-63rd) and Alyssa Shimel (tie-77th). [ Recap ]
Fri-Sun., March 14-16 -- at Clover Cup Invitational (Mesa, Ariz.)

On foreign soil, McCain says he wants to work with Obama
- By Josh Rogin
Josh Rogin covers national security and foreign policy and writes the daily Web column The Cable. His column appears bi-weekly in the print edition of The Washington Post. He can be reached for comments or tips at email@example.com.
Previously, Josh covered defense and foreign policy as a staff writer for Congressional Quarterly, writing extensively on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, U.S.-Asia relations, defense budgeting and appropriations, and the defense lobbying and contracting industries. Prior to that, he covered military modernization, cyber warfare, space, and missile defense for Federal Computer Week Magazine. He has also served as Pentagon Staff Reporter for the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's leading daily newspaper, in its Washington, D.C., bureau, where he reported on U.S.-Japan relations, Chinese military modernization, the North Korean nuclear crisis, and more.
A graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, Josh lived in Yokohama, Japan, and studied at Tokyo's Sophia University. He speaks conversational Japanese and has reported from the region. He has also worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution.
Josh's reporting has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, C-Span, CBS, ABC, NPR, WTOP, and several other outlets. He was a 2008-2009 National Press Foundation's Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellow, 2009 military reporting fellow with the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism and the 2011 recipient of the InterAction Award for Excellence in International Reporting. He hails from Philadelphia and lives in Washington, D.C.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) wants to work with the Obama administration on a range of foreign-policy issues and find areas of common interests after the election, he told The Cable and an international audience this weekend.
Following a harrowing week of open warfare with the Obama White House — in which he threatened to hold up the potential nomination of U.S. U.N. ambassador Susan Rice for secreatary of state — McCain took off for the Halifax International Security Forum along with Sens. Mark Udall (D-CO), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), John Barrasso (R-WY), a number of Obama administration officials, and your humble Cable guy.
During his panel at the conference, McCain didn't talk about his call for a "Watergate-style" committee to investigate the Benghazi attack of his pledge to do everything in his power to quash Rice's nomination.
"I don't like to be overly critical of my own government," McCain told the international audience assembled in Canada. "I congratulate President Obama on his reelection. The American people have spoken and it's up to us in the loyal opposition to support the president wherever we can, especially when it comes to national security."
In an interview The Cable, McCain offered an olive branch to the Obama administration and said he wants to work with the president wherever and whenever possible.
"The American people have spoken. I think we ought to try to find ways where we can work together," McCain said. "I think Syria is a classic example of that. I've heard that they are reevaluating the whole situation. I would love to work with them."
McCain said that he was told the White House is conducting a full post-election reevaluation of America's Syria policy and said he wants to work with the administration to increase foreign aid to Libya to help that country continue progress toward developing their fragile democracy.
"We want to work with him, we want to support him," he said, referring to President Obama. "We think these issues are too critical. But it's also our job in the loyal opposition to disagree where we disagree, and in an open and honest fashion, and to engage in a debate that all the American people can take part in."
McCain said he supports Senate ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, a pet project of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-MA), another oft-mooted name for Foggy Bottom.
"I think it's going to require a presidential push to get through and I think it's important that we move forward on that," he said. "I think we can work together on almost every issue, I really do. We have in the past on several issues."
McCain didn't pretend he agrees with the administration on everything. He said the president's trip to Burma this week was a mistake because it came too soon in Burma's reform process and was done despite the concerns of longtime leading dissident Aung San Suu Kyi.
He also couldn't resist leveling some harsh words at the Obama administration's Syria policy.
"I'm ashamed as an American," McCain said. "While we sit by and watch that happen without even giving them weapons to defend themselves. This will be a shameful chapter in American history, my friends, because we could have done something and we can still do something today. But we won't."
"Only 37,000 have been massacred. I guess in the grand scheme of things that's not too many, compared to some wars," he said.
McCain indicated that his real fight over the next two years on foreign policy will not be with the White House, but with members of his own GOP Senate caucus who want to steer Republican foreign policy toward a more isolationist and non-interventionist stance. He singled out Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for threatening to cut off all U.S. foreign aid to Pakistan, Libya, and Egypt.
"Particularly in the Republican party there's always been a conflict. It's between the isolationists and those who believe we have a role to play in the world. It concerns me a great deal," he said. "That debate will rage between now and the next elections."

The top 10 finalists received $20,000 or more
By Meghan Rosen, 13:35 PM March 22, 2013
WASHINGTON — Sara Volz gasped in amazement when she heard her name called. The 17-year-old finalist had just been named the $100,000 grand-prize winner at the March 12 awards gala of the 2013 Intel Science Talent Search.
A high school student from Colorado Springs, Colo., Volz rushed across a stage in the National Building Museum's Great Hall. Decked out in a lavender satin dress, the teenager laughed and smiled as blue and white balloons rained down on the winners.

AFTER A SUCCESSFUL OFF-BROADWAY RUN AT 59E59 THEATERS IN NYC, CPI IS PROUD TO TRAVEL TO BARRINGTON STAGE FOR A SPECIAL LIMITED RUN OF KUNSTLER, A NEW PLAY BY JEFFREY SWEET, STARRING BROADWAY'S JEFF McCARTHY, AND DIRECTED BY MEAGEN FAY!
Join CPI at Barrington Stage in the Berkshires for Kunstler, for the new play by Jeffrey Sweet. See the production that the Boston Globe hailed as one of the top three not-to-be missed theater events in New England this summer. Starring Broadway's Jeff McCarthy and directed by Meagen Fay.
Broadway star Jeff McCarthy brings William Kunstler back to life in Jeffrey Sweet's fascinating play, which revisits Kunstler's timely message of Constitutional civil rights under rule of law in an exciting theatrical event.
In Jeffrey Sweet's play, Kunstler says, "My job starts when I see the forces of government cloaking itself in the garb of legality and going after someone who is at a particular disadvantage—whether it's because of race or some existing prejudice or stereotype—it's my impulse to try to level the playing field." Kunstler's often unpopular views made him the target of vicious criticism, but he changed the American legal system anyway.
Join The Creative Place for a special holiday play reading of The Naughty List! Written by Thom Cammer and directed by Anny DeGange. Friday, December 16th at 7:30pm at Saratoga's National Museum of Dance. Admission is FREE and seating is limited. See you there!

"…when Pat Birch came in and we did the bus improvisation…"
"I liked making our own characters…and the master classes…"

Mark was on Mousse and Reindeer watch and after mistakenly pointing out 2 boulders and a wooden chair we found loads of wild reindeer (and a cat) great drive over, the roads here are amazing.
Decided against the campsites today as we needed a bar and a restaurant as well as other human life.
Checked into the Hotel Laponia which blew the budget a bit but hey, we have stayed on a campsite for the past 4 days.
Had dinner in the Hotel, we ordered Reindeer and Sirloin steak and shared, Rudolph was quite tasty but a bit chewy in parts, lovely chocolate fondant for desert.
A walk by the lake resulted in us making a camp fire, it was a good one.. see the pics.
Back to hotel for a few beers with the Irish, good night.
Bed for midnight, in time to get a picture of the midnight sun!
