A SHRUB once commonly associated with gin production is in need of a tonic as it faces extinction.
Although UK distillers no longer depend on home-grown juniper berries to produce the much-loved spirit, and instead rely on imports from Eastern Europe, unless preventative action is taken now, the juniper bush could be extinct by 2060.
There is no single cause for juniper decline, but loss of seedling habitat through under-grazing and the development of dense grassland and scrub, is a widespread problem and a fungus-like disease, Phytophthora austrocedrae, appears to be spreading through shrubs nationwide.

More than a quarter of the vast juniper population at Moor House - Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve, in County Durham – the largest juniper wood in England - was severely affected by the disease in 2012, which was first positively identified at the site in autumn 2011.
Experts believe the shrubs were affected prior to the official diagnosis, but there was no test available.
Plants get infected at their roots and the disease travels up to ground level, causing the shrub to die.
Martin Furness, reserve manager at Upper Teesdale, said: "We suspect the disease was around before then, but that was when scientists were able to say officially what it was.
"Before that, nobody could tell us what the problem was.
"There is no treatment for it. When we see bushes that have the disease we cut them down and burn them.
"The process is designed to try and slow and halt the spread but obviously it is not a cure."
Martin said there were other factors contributing to the decline of juniper, including climate change, atmospheric nitrogen, pollution and changing land use.
During lead-mining times, when cattle and horses grazed on the uplands, they would break through the matt of grasses and allow seeds to be released into an area where they could germinate more effectively.
Nowadays, sheep and rabbits are found in such areas and both species graze so close to the ground that they are eating young seedlings when they are soft and nutritious, therefore preventing new ones from coming through and developing.
Martin added: "Several factors have come together which are impacting to make the overall situation less favourable for juniper.
"It is up to us to see what could be done to preserve this very important habitat.
"There could be other things going on that we will never know about, especially when there is more than one factor involved."
He urged people walking along the Pennine Way which goes through the site to use foot-washing facilities located at the sections passing through the junipers to help prevent the spread of the fungal disease, which is water-borne and can be carried through damp soil.
He said: "We are working hard to cut out the plants which have got the disease and burn them and we would ask people who are walking through the site to wash their boots before and after being in the area.
"One of the reasons the disease can spread is through mud on people's boots so that is one thing that the general public can do to help."
Walkers are also asked to stick to public footpaths and adhere to notices along the route.
Seeds from some of the juniper berries have been sent to a national seed bank to be kept in long-term cold storage.
If kept in the right conditions, they could be revived in hundreds of years.
Justina Simpson, from wildlife charity Plantlife, said: "Juniper is in real trouble.
"It has steadily declined over the last few decades and many counties in southern England have lost over 60 per cent of their juniper populations.
"Without action now, juniper faces extinction across much of lowland England by 2060."
More than 90 species of insect and fungus either partially or wholly depend on the shrub so the more it declines the more threatened they become.
The special conditions juniper seeds need in order to germinate also benefit a host of wild flowers, some of which are also facing extinction.
The potential disappearance of Juniper would also represent a cultural and historical loss.
Its fragrant wood was traditionally used on fires because it burned well and smoulders with little smoke, and was therefore the preferred fuel for illegal whisky stills.
It was also a useful if unlikely burglar deterrent - the prickly boughs were once used as a substitute for barbed wire.
Juniper has a long medicinal history, too.
The small amount of juniper berries still harvested in the UK are now typically used to add flavour to game dishes such as venison.

Since I have only recently began learning to raise extra queens, and have a small batch of queen cells nearing maturity, right now, I have some concerns about drone availability. I have been keeping bees at my present location, continuously, for a little more than ten years, some years I have noticed the bees discontinue keeping drones, sometimes, during some Winters, though they keep a few drones year-round. Unfortunately I have not kept any notes concerning these observations and my memory is not as clear as I wish it were about this subject.
Right now, I have been in the process of producing open-mated Cordovan Italian queens to replace my typical, what I call "normal" queens, in my breeding yard, in order to increase production of Cordovan Italian drones and reduce the number of "normal" drones being produced. Of course I wish to finish this process before the queen producing season ends, so that, beginning next Spring I can produce more Cordovan Italian queens that have been mated with more Cordovan Italian drones.
Can anyone, with knowledge of queen rearing in warm Winter areas, share what they know about drone availability? Thank you.

IMPD officer to challenge blood alcohol test
Sandra Chapman/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - While an IMPD officer's attorney says they'll challenge the results of a blood alcohol content test, city officials say there's no reason for doubt.
Officer David Bisard faces seven felony counts including reckless homicide. He is accused of driving drunk when he smashed into two motorcycles on the Indianapolis northeast side last Friday, killing one man and leaving two others in critical condition. Bisard's attorney John Kautzhmann says he will examine the chain of custody for the blood draw.
Bisard, an honored police officer, was speeding to a back-up call with enough alcohol in his system to declare him legally drunk twice over, according to the BAC test, which came back at .19. City officials said there was no indication he was impaired at the crash scene.
Now the city's Fraternal Order of Police president openly wonders if the officers blood vials were mixed up.
"If the chain of custody is tight, then there's really not much doubt," said Mayor Greg Ballard.
"Particularly the officers involved in this accident, are part of a very elite team that investigates fatal accidents. So I would have to have confidence in the system," said Public Safety Director Frank Straub.
Straub was referring to the Fatal Alcohol Crash Team, officers specially trained to reconstruct what happened and why, and to preserve evidence.
In this case, Lawrence Police Officer Stan Stephens was sent to a Methodist Occupational Health Center to get a blood draw from Officer Bisard.
In a report obtained by Eyewitness News, Stephens wrote:
"At 13:48 hours this officer witnessed (the) medical assistant clean the inner right arm of Officer David Bisard. Then (she) inserted the needle into two tubes of blood from Bisard's right arm."
Stephens says he "...made note of the lot numbers...and placed a pre-initial label on both tubes. The label consisted of a case number, officer Bisard's name, date of birth, the date and the nurse's initials." Stephens then took possession of both tubes of blood, placed them in a bio-hazard bag and transported them to 50 N. Alabama Street, the IMPD property room."
"There's nothing at this point to believe that that process failed in any way. In fact it points to the custody and the transfer of evidence as following procedure and being handled properly," said Straub.
Also, Bisard's driving history is drawing more questions.
Suggested Links
During his five years at the Noblesville Police Department, Bisard "was involved in one on-duty crash when he struck the corner of a building while initiating a traffic stop in an alley. The crash was on September 17th, 1996. Damage was minimal, no injuries were reported and no arrests were made," according to Major Scott Kirby.
Bisard had no suspensions or demotions at NPD and left in 2001. He was involved in five on-duty crashes with IMPD since 2002. All were considered minor and did not involve injuries.

st: Average Partial Effects after reoprob

st: Average Partial Effects after reoprob
Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:32:32 -0400
Hello statalist,
To my knowledge, the reoprob command for random effects ordered probit
models (by Guillaume Frechette) does not lend itself to calculating
any kind of partial effects after the regression. In my case, I'm
trying to get average partial effects or APE's (where the effect is
found for each observation and the average is then taken). I know the
command margeff does this after some procedures, but not after
Does anyone know how to accomplish average partial effects after
reoprob? If there's no command to achieve this simply, is there a
program I could write to get APE's (with standard errors). For a
model y = xb+u, suppose y takes on three values [1, 2, 3] and that we
want the effect of x on prob(y=3). In other words, we want the effect
of regressor x on prob(u>cut2 - xb). I already know how to find the
marginal effect at the mean of other regressors, viz
program define mypredict
gen double `varlist'= 1-norm([_cut2]_b[_cons]-`xb') if `touse'
This gives the function that mfx will either take the derivative of
(for continuous regressors) or take differences of (for dummy
regressors). Is there an analogous statement to instead get the
average of partial effects (APE's) with standard errors after reoprob?
thanks to anyone who can help,

they just whine like they getting paid by the tear..........
Whatever parent brought Gore to the States through that $.39/day program should be ashamed of themselves.
Truth is they will probably be favored to go again next year. That's horrible considering the game will be played here.

"On Any Given Sunday You Can Win Or Lose. The Point Is Can You Win Or Lose Like A Man."
Yesterday they proved they cannot lose like men.
They might pass Detroit as the most hated team in the NFL if this sore-losing attitude keeps up.

text: Culture 6 July 2010 The kindness of Beryl A personal appreciation from a much younger friend. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML At a Christmas party in north London some years ago I found myself on a sofa alongside Tom Robinson and Beryl Bainbridge, and in the middle of a long and, for their part, knowledgeable, discussion about the relative merits of Coronation Street and EastEnders. That the songwriter and former gay rights activist should have found himself tackled on this subject by Beryl was not a surprise. She was such a keen follower of soaps that if ever she missed an episode, she would call her friend and fellow-novelist, Bernice Rubens, at her home in Belsize Park, up the hill from Beryl's Camden house, to catch up -- and vice versa. I haven't seen any mention of this particular enthusiasm of hers in the notices since Beryl's death last Friday, however, and although the tributes have been generous -- AN Wilson wrote an especially perceptive piece in the Observer on Sunday -- I wonder how much of the life of this most treasured of novelists will appear in the recollections, or how fully the picture of her character will be painted. The rackety side will be there, naturally; and this was not without truth. I can vividly remember the Whitbread Prize dinner in 1997 where Beryl, who had won the Novel category, was in contention for the overall prize. From the moment the waiters attempted to fill our glasses, strict instructions were issued: wine would do fine for me and for her publisher, Robin Baird-Smith. But for Beryl, her daughter JoJo and the former "Fat Lady" Jennifer Patterson, large whiskies would be required, and at regular intervals throughout the evening. It was, as one of us later observed, perhaps just as well that Beryl did not end up taking the evening's laurels, as her speech might have been recorded in the annals of exuberance, or quite possibly incomprehension, rather than in those of great oratory. On other occasions, this appetite for good company, drink and nicotine manifested itself in many a long and joyous evening. At the party for her next novel, Master Georgie, I told Beryl how much I'd liked it. "How many times have you read it?" she asked. "Once," I replied, thinking I'd done rather well in actually managing to finish a book before going to its launch (and, since it was Beryl, I had made a special effort). "You have to read it at least twice to understand it," she told me, although not harshly. The gathering at Hatchard's, Piccadilly, moved on to a pub round the corner, and several hours later a diminished group of us carried on at the home of one of her children in Kentish Town. I have a vague memory of dancing to "The Return of the Space Cowboy" by Jamiroquai at about 3am, but when I left, the party and Beryl, were still going strong. To that aspect of Beryl, many can testify. And it is for others, more qualified than I, to appraise, and doubtless praise, her writing and analyse her influences. I would like to add something about her extraordinary personal consideration, one instance of which I will never forget. In 1996 her novel about the Titanic, Every Man for Himself, came out to such acclaim that it marked a renaissance in her already glittering career. Shortly before, a mutual friend, the journalist Robert Tewdwr Moss had been murdered in the Little Venice flat I had previously lived in, too. Robert was beloved of Beryl -- she had a framed photo of him in her house -- and was like an older brother to me. As I walked up the cramped, steep stairs of 2 Brydges Place, the club where Beryl's new novel was being celebrated, a stream of literary luminaries waited in line to greet the author. Among the likes of, as I remember it, Antony Beevor and Antonia Fraser, I felt deeply insignificant. But as soon as she saw me, Beryl rushed over and took me aside. "You poor boy," she said, giving me a big hug, "are you all right?" Other grandees of the book world were ignored as she took the time (quite a lot of time), on the evening of her greatest triumph, to talk to a 24-year-old who was of practically no consequence at all in the world of journalism, let alone the realm of letters. It was an act of such kindness I still find myself moved whenever I remember it. But it was typical of Beryl. Nearly a decade later, I had a weekly interview slot at a newspaper and was under pressure to find subjects famous enough for the section editor's satisfaction. So I rang Beryl. Now most novelists are only willing to be interviewed when they have a new book to publicise, and Beryl was very much between novels at the time. There was really nothing in it for her at all, and she'd also have to put up with a photographer asking her to pose all over her house for 40 minutes. "Well, Sholto," she said, "since we're friends..." I would have been enormously proud to have called Beryl my friend (although I was immensely fond of her, the presumption implied meant I always hesitated to describe myself as such). I'm still more honoured that she should have chosen to use that word for me. If the coverage of her life carries the respect owed to a very considerable novelist, and the warmth due to a woman who long ago became a "national treasure", it is no less than she deserves -- and those of us lucky enough to have experienced the kindness of Beryl know that behind the puckish, Bohemian exterior that made her so loved, there was also a great heart.

Typhoon Haiyan's Toll Still Resonates
It's been six months since the most powerful typhoon ever to strike land hit the city of Tacloban in the southeastern Philippines. More than six thousand people died and much of the city was flattened by a 13-foot-high storm surge.
The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes was one of the first foreign journalists to reach Tacloban. He's been back to find out what happened to the people he met in November.

Essay topics: Some parents and teachers believe that children's behaviour should be strictly controlled, while others think that children should be allowed to grow up in their own way. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
This is a fact that children are our future hope and they'll make the future, so their upbringing is very important. Although some people believe children's behavior should be controlled, others think they should grew up freely. I agree both views up to a point.
Actually people's manner and the way they behave shape in their childhood so it's very important to control children's behavior but in a way they don't feel it directly. Because if they feel you control every detail of what they do, they'll miss the opportunity to do the wrong things and they won't learn from their bad behaviors and their mistakes. Moreover, this control can become a habit for them that if somebody control them they behave correctly and whenever they aren't controlled they behave in a bad way.
On the other hand, we can't let children to grew up in their own way because they are still young and they can't recognize what behavior is right or wrong. They need somebody who lead them and warn them about their behavior. Parents and teachers should be aware about the way they treat them because if children feel they are strictly under control they will loose their confidence in the future.
To sum up, both ideas need to be revised. Children need to be controlled but not strictly and in a way they feel they miss their freedom. They should have their parents and their teachers in their sides and learn how to behave in a good way.

The Inner Voice by Marilyn Gelfand
While some of us have difficulty controlling bad tempers, others choose to withdraw and stay away from people with whom we feel uncomfortable.
It may feel easier to withdraw than to confront someone and say "Don't do that again."
We keep away from someone, like a clam, and then that person may or may not understand or realize what is going on inside you.
We may feel we are protecting ourselves by avoiding contact, but it may be strange to the other person who cannot figure out why this has occurred.
If it is someone important in your life, it might be a good idea to tell the other individual that "You hurt me." It might be helpful to say "Stop it."
If the person hears what you said and then makes changes in behavior or tries to make amends, then you know that the individual is trying.
If, on the other hand, your words are ignored, then again you can see where this individual is coming from.
Everyone sees things differently so you cannot expect others to understand why you act the way you do. I have a friend who thinks that no one can hear her when she has a problem, unless she yells at the person. She thinks if she just says her piece, no one will change.
She believes that you have to scream to be heard enough to catch the other's attention.
If someone yells at me, I feel that the other person has no respect for me, and I will tune out what she says. In this case, my friend's intent cannot get carried out with me because of how I interpret the situation.
We must look at who we are talking to and how the message will be received.
There doesn't have to be only one approach for all people.
It is much better to firmly state what
the problem is or how you feel, and then wait to see how the other responds.
At least a form of communication will be started where each can question the other.

|Jason Terry: 'These are growing pains'
|11.02.12 at 11:25 pm ET
The Celtics didn't plan on starting off 0-2, but through the first two games of the season it's clear that the roster — with the additions of the likes of Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Jared Sullinger, Leandro Barbosa and the return of Jeff Green, among other roster alterations — hasn't quite hit its stride yet.
The C's looked slow and admitted to a lack of communication defensively in their 99-88 loss to the Bucks, a game in which they trailed by anywhere from 16 to 20 for much of the night.
Terry, playing in his second game as a Celtic since signing a three-year deal in the offseason, finished with 10 points, two assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday. After the game, the veteran guard diagnosed why the C's have gotten off to such an unproductive start.
"These are growing pains," Terry said. "This is what the NBA season, this is what the journey is all about. We're going to look back at this and say that we grew from it. It just happens, whether it's injuries, whether it's what we're going through right now, there's always bumps in the road along your journey that you can look back and say, 'OK. We got through that, we persevered.'
|Kevin Garnett: Celtics 'still a work in progress'
|11.02.12 at 11:01 pm ET
The Celtics' 99-88 loss to the Bucks was a lot uglier than the final score would suggest, and it left the Garden crowd booing the C's in Boston's home opener.
Following the game, Kevin Garnett said that "communication is everything" in remedying what allowed the Bucks, led by Brandon Jennings (21 points, 13 assists) to run all over the C's.
"I think what you see is we're still a work in progress, obviously," Garnett said. "The lack of communication on the court makes it even more difficult, but all in all, we're still working. We're still working to get some consistency.
|Stephen A. Smith: Celtics 'too close' for Heat to win several consecutive titles
|10.30.12 at 2:45 pm ET
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith joined Mut & Merloni Tuesday to discuss the upcoming NBA season and the hot water he's found himself in over his perceived use of a racial slur last week.
Smith denied saying the slur on ESPN's "First Take," though he said he understands that people heard it that way, and that he would have "shook their hands" and accepted it should ESPN have punished him. For Smith's complete answer regarding the incident, click here.
In discussing the upcoming season, Smith touched on Tuesday night's season-opener between the Heat and the Celtics, the first game in which Ray Allen will face his old team since rejecting a more lucrative deal from Boston to sign with the defending NBA champions.
Since Allen left, there has been a bit of a war of words between the two sides, as Allen has made numerous comments about the C's while Kevin Garnett said he deleted Allen's phone number.
"I think the animosity is real on Boston's side. I don't think Ray Allen has that level of animosity for anybody. He's class personified," Smith said. "It's not to say the Boston Celtics are not classy because they very much are, but Ray Allen just isn't one to get into all of that. That's never been his MO in all the years that I've known him, but the reality of the situation is he doesn't really have legitimate reasons to harbor animosity.
"When you look at the situation in Boston, yeah you didn't like getting benched for Avery Bradley, yeah you didn't like feeling that you were no longer the significant part of the game plan that you were in years past. There's no way to get around the fact that if you look at the Ray Allen situation in Boston from that standpoint, you have to remember he left them. They offered him twice as much as he's getting from Miami, even though it was an additional year compared to what Miami was offering him. They offered him more years, they offered him more money and he still decided to leave, but not only did he decide to leave, he decided to leave for somebody that is considered the enemy in that locker room and throughout that franchise in the Miami Heat, particularly since LeBron James arrived.
"That's why you see Kevin Garnett reacting the way that he's reacting. Paul Pierce sort of smiled it off, but he's following KG's lead because Paul Pierce obviously is a friend of Ray Allen. He loves him. It's just that he's a competitor now. Kevin Garnett takes it to another level. Right now he has no love whatsoever for Ray Allen. He looks at Ray Allen as somebody that betrayed him and this franchise. He has no love for him whatsoever. He wants to take him out just as badly as he wants to take the rest of them out and he considers him the enemy. It's just that simple." Read the rest of this entry »
|Should you still care about the center position?
|10.25.12 at 3:49 pm ET
WALTHAM — As was evidenced by the NBA taking the center position off the All-Star ballot this week, the idea of traditional positions might be a thing of the past.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers spoke about the evolution of the game in that regard on Wednesday, and on Thursday Kevin Garnett spoke about how the center position has become more of a place for finesse and less of a place for prototypical big and strong 7-footers.
A power forward when he came into the league in 1995 and throughout the vast majority of his career, Garnett made the move to the center position for the C's midway through last season and saw results that further agreed with the notion that traditional centers as the world once knew it are becoming less and less important.
"I just think it's a versatility thing," Garnett said. "Before, you had players like Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, [Robert] Parish. Guys who had to play the 5 — methodical, traditional 5s, power game. I think you see the game going to a finesse game, so to speak. Since I've been in the league you've seen 3s turn into 4s, 4s turn into 5s, 2s turn into 3s. You have to be able to guard both and be able to do multiple things.
"I think 80s basketball and the early 90s, it was traditional basketball. When I say new basketball, new school, 2000, 2K — whatever you want to call it — is more of being agile, being able to guard multiple positions. I think Scottie Pippen, Robert Horry '¦ those versatile players, I think that's where the game has been. Not just on one side of the basketball. Now you see 3s and 4s switching, being able to switch, 2s and 3s switching. I just think it's non-traditional. I think it's more of an agile and finesse game."
Garnett's been in the league for as long as the changes of traditional positions have been going on. Asked if he recognizes himself as a bit of a pioneer among bigger bodies who provide versatility in their skill sets, Garnett agreed but noted he wasn't the first and won't be the last.
"I do, but I also like to give credit where credit is due, too. Those guys that played before, that I took examples [from]," he said. "I see me every day, so I'm not a big fan of me. Those are guys that I learned from, took some things from and was able to apply to my own game."
|Leandro Barbosa finally practices with Celtics
|10.24.12 at 4:01 pm ET
WALTHAM — Leandro Barbosa got his first practice in as a member of the Celtics Wednesday, as visa issues had kept him from playing in Sunday's preseason finale against the 76ers.
"It was a good practice, and I got to get to know the plays, the defensive standpoint and all the things that they've been doing in training camp when I wasn't here, so I think it was OK," Barbosa said. "The coaches have been giving me a lot of attention. They've been helping me a lot. I think this is very important for me in the beginning, but also the players have been helping me too."
Conditioning-wise, Barbosa said he felt fine throughout a practice that ran ran roughly three hours.
"I wasn't playing that much when I was back in Brazil, but I think I'm OK so far for what we did today," he said. "[Practice today] was long, but we didn't go up and down. I think tomorrow we'll go up and down. I think day-by-day I will be fine. I think I'll pick it up little by little."
The 29-year-old used to average around 30 minutes a game back in the day for the Suns but averaged 19.8 minutes in 22 games down the stretch last season with the Pacers. He knows that he might not get major minutes for the C's, but he's comfortable with whatever workload he's given.
"I'm OK with whatever," Barbosa said. "Whatever minutes I have on the court, I'm going to do my best to try to help my teammates, but if I don't get on the court, it's fine for me too. As long as the team is successful, I'll be happy."
|Things end better for Kevin Garnett, Celtics vs. Suns this time around
|03.02.11 at 11:52 pm ET
Things didn't end so pretty for Kevin Garnett the last time the Celtics faced the Suns. Think a shot to Channing Frye's groin, a pair of technical fouls, an early shower and weeks of media criticism for his style of play. It was probably those things, and not his 18 points and nine rebounds in 27 minutes, that served as the lasting memory of the C's 88-71 loss in Phoenix on Jan. 28.
Just over one month later, Garnett got his long-awaited revenge. He dropped a season-high 28 points on the Suns — often on Frye himself — on the night, all of which came in the first three quarters of play. Frye would leave the game with an eye contusion after a collision with Vince Carter, but regardless of his presence, Garnett made his presence felt.
"We were ready for this game," Glen Davis said. "I know KG was."
Indeed he was. Garnett didn't take kindly to the way things played out in late January, so it wasn't a major shock that he took it upon himself to change his personal fortune, as well as his team's results.
"I just didn't like the way I played last time I played the Suns, and I made it a point this time to play better," Garnett said. "That's what I did."
Given the preexisting tension between the two sides, the game proved to be interesting even as the Celtics opened up a 29-point lead. The Suns crawled back to make it a nine-point contest in the fourth quarter, and didn't relent right down to the last-second technical foul from Jared Dudley on Rajon Rondo. The foul came amidst a spat between Garnett and Suns coach Alvin Gentry, with Rondo launching a three-pointer despite a 10-point lead.
"We knew coming in to expect a little trash talk. It was an intense game but it wasn't," Rondo said. "They made a run at it, but we had it under control the whole game."
With the victory, the Celtics grabbed their six win in their last seven games. Just as importantly, it seems, they countered their ugly January loss and got the last laugh.
"Yeah, it was serious," Davis said. "We owed them."
|Kevin Garnett says Suns coach Alvin Gentry was asking for playoff tickets
|03.02.11 at 11:27 pm ET
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett and Suns coach Alvin Gentry had words for one another in the final seconds of the C's 115-103 victory over Phoenix on Wednesday night. Things escalated when Rajon Rondo then attempted a three-pointer with the C's holding a 10-point lead, which led to a technical foul from Jared Dudley.
"Alvin Gentry was asking me for tickets for the first round of the playoffs," Garnett said after the game. "I told him I'll hook him up, so that's what that was."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers shared his opinion on the exchange, saying he doesn't believe in such behavior from coaches.
"I thought their bench, their coaches were talking," Rivers said, "which I don't think you should ever [do] if you have a suit and tie on and and actually can't play. I don't think toy should be doing a lot of talking to the players on the floor. It's just my opinion."
Garnett, who led all scorers with 28 points in the game, defended his style of play that has led so many to criticize him.
"I don't really care, but don't make stuff up. '¦I'm far from dirty," Garnett said. "I play the game really hard. I play with my heart. I never going to make any excuses about that, so who cares about what they're talking about?"
He said he generally wouldn't expect a coach to jaw at a player, but given the tension between the two teams this season, he wasn't surprised.
"It's very uncommon," Garnett said, "but they're an uncommon team."

In the continuing battle between Twitter's Vine and Facebook-owned Instagram for users' short-video content, Vine has upped the stakes with its biggest update yet.
Vine, which enables users to share micro videos of up to six seconds in length and embed them directly on Twitter, underwent a major update on July 3.
The updates bring several new features to Vine including the ability to submit posts to, or simply browse, certain categories such as "Comedy", "Art and Experimental," and of course, because it is the internet, "Cats."
Other updates include the ability to share one's favorite posts with one's followers on Vine in a feature the company calls "revining," a function that essentially works in the same manner as "re-tweeting." But perhaps one of the most important updates to the service is the ability to make one's Vine feed private, visible to only the user and followers of that user that they have approved.
While this Vine update may up the ante in the universe of short-format video, with Instagram users now having the ability to not only upload but also edit video with a maximum length of 15 seconds, it remains to be seen which service will emerge victorious in this new tech battleground.

I've been using high-end shaving products for years. I'm a big fan but of one very high-end brand in particular. Alas, they've been replaced. The pre-shave Hot Towel stuff is a trip as it really does warm your face, an odd sensation but it works. Follow that with a light cover of the shave cream and then aftershave and my face is ridiculously smooth. This is the closest shave I've ever had. Props to Dollar Shave Club for great razors too.5
I really like this shave products. I especially enjoy the hot towel treatment. Your face gets so warm before you shave. I can definitely tell a huge difference in my shaving now compared to regular store bought brands like gillete. My face is another and less irritated.5

April 2010 RPM - Spied! 2011 GMC DenaliPosted in News on April 1, 2010 Comment (0)
Like its sibling Silverado that we showed you last month, GMC's Sierra is also due for a mild exterior freshening for 2011. While it may look like the improvements such as the new grille, hood, and bumper are only skin-deep, sources tell us that the new GM heavy-duty trucks are nearly all-new under the skin. In addition to the next-generation LML Duramax, GM is said to be developing a large-displacement gas engine that is expected in a couple of years. Most interesting about this Denali prototype is the presence of diesel cues, such as the venturi tailpipe and diesel hood seen on other GMC HD Duramax mules. Until now, the Denali has only been available with a gas engine.
Ram Brand Rollout Continues Chrysler continues the roll out of its newly separate Ram brand. The Ram brand recently released its own consumer website, which features the entire Ram truck lineup, including Dakota. In addition to the website, you will soon notice new signage at dealerships, with all four of Chryslers brands being represented. For more information, point your browser to www.ramtrucks.com.
Mini Wants to Get Dirty It may not be a true four-wheel drive, but we thought this Mini concept unveiled at the North American International Auto Show was interesting enough to share. The Mini Beachcomber is a precursor to the upcoming production Mini SUV, to be called Countryman. The Beachcomber features Mini's ALL4 all-wheel drive system, an open design with seating for four, and an innovative tie-down system. A more robust structure and a modified suspension with greater wheel travel are said to give this Mini the ability to go places that are out of the reach of current Mini owners. The new SUV will be Mini's fourth model and is expected sometime in 2010 as a 2011 model.

Ford Maintains Super-Duty Diesel Engine Price Those anxiously awaiting Ford's all-new 2011 Super Duty with the optional 6.7L Power Stroke V-8 will be happy to know that Ford is holding the line on pricing. The 2010 Super Duty turbodiesel option will cost $7,835, the same as the outgoing 6.4L, despite delivering more power, better fuel economy, and meeting stricter emissions standards. This compares with the 2010 pricing of the Ram's Cummins option (with automatic) at $8,020 and GM's Duramax/Allison option at $8,395. The Super Duty will no longer be available with a manual transmission, leaving the Ram as the only HD on the market with that option.
Raptor Now Available With 6.2L Ford opened the Raptor 6.2L order bank at the end of December and should be producing the trucks as you read this. The 6.2L is rated at 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque, and will command a $3,000 premium over the base-model Raptor, bringing the starting price of a 6.2L truck to $41,995. All Raptor 6.2L trucks come mated to Ford's six-speed automatic transmission. Rest assured, we'll be putting one through its paces at our 2011 Pickup Truck of The Year test later this year.
Land Use Notes Further Carbon Dioxide Regulations The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a finding that carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and the environment. The EPA had reached a preliminary conclusion to this effect last spring and subsequently joined with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to limit average CO2 emissions from cars and light trucks to 250 grams per mile and to increase average fuel efficiency from 25 to 35.5 mpg by model year 2016.
The state of California agreed to adopt the same standard in exchange for being issued a waiver recognizing its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The automakers and SEMA support a national approach to tailpipe standards. The EPA and NHTSA are expected to finalize the CO2 tailpipe rule by April 2010.
The EPA was directed to consider whether greenhouse gases endanger health and safety under a 2007 Supreme Court ruling. The EPA decision is expected to increase pressure on Congress to enact legislation directing the agency on how to regulate emissions. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to require a 17-percent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050, based on 2005 levels. Legislation is pending in the U.S. Senate. The primary targets are large stationary source emitters, such as power plants, refineries, and large factories.
The EPA has authority to regulate emissions if Congress fails to act. Beyond the auto tailpipe emissions rule, the agency has implemented a regulation requiring stationary-source facilities that emit 25,000 metric tons or more per year of greenhouse gases (power plants, refineries, etc.) to submit annual tracking reports to the EPA. The EPA could eventually require these emitters to install the best available equipment on new and modified plants to curb emissions.
Quick Hits VW says it could justify bringing its Amorok pickup to the U.S. if it could sell 100,000 units. Ram is mulling a unitbody replacement for the Dakota midsize truck. Once the sale is final, Hummer is expected to come out with five new or redesigned models within five years.

|Look at Ali's adorable happy face!
Last night, Ali and I went to Herbivore because I really was craving some leafy greens and other veggies. Since I'd arrived late on Friday night, I'd had no raw greens and very few veggies. My sister suggested Herbivore for a salad, and we went late on Sunday, which meant that they were out of many of the menu items, although they still had my first choices. It also meant dark pictures: it's dark in there! She and I both ordered two things each. First, I got the Raw Kale Salad.
I also got the Vegetable Sampler. It came with three different dipping sauces and a bit of bread. The veggies were charbroiled.
|The veggies up close.
Ali got the Quinoa Salad. It had beets and avocado on top, which is mostly what you can see here.
Overall about Herbivore: I'd read mixed things about it. In my opinion, the menu is a little bit "beginner's vegan." It's got some classic vegan stand-bys: chili, hummus, tabbouleh, veggie burger, portobello burger, salads, mexi-style stuff. That's really fine, it's vegan comfort food. They also have fancier entrees that I may have ordered if they weren't out of most of them when I got there (although probably not since I was jonesing for veggies) like ravioli or phyllo dough pie. I would only say that if you're going to have so many things that vegans everywhere make so often, you should really aim to kill with it. Make sure you're making it something special. I wish I had the chance while I'm here to try more things from them, but there is just too much in SF to go eat.
Actually, though, I do think that for lunch today I'll go back there and get a large cup of fresh green juice. Celery, apple, spinach, parsley, mint, kale, ginger, and lime in one juice? Yes, please. And their desserts call out to me as well, I'm not going to lie.

We packed our bags, tidied the house in NY, then went for a walk to the local pizza place to grab one last slice of NY pepperoni pizza before the move.
A couple of family members came by the house to say goodbye, then we hopped in the van for the train station. We caught the train to the aircar which took us to JFK. That was pretty crazy. The aircar was packed and at one stop, as one guy tried to get off, his suitcase tore open and all of his clothes and belongings spilled everywhere in the packed carriage. The poor guy had to go around for a whole other loop after he repacked everything in front of everybody. It was lucky he didn't have anything too embarrassing in his case.
The North Carolina airport was awesome! It really had the old south vibe to it. There was a NASCAR diner, lots of trees inside the terminal, and best of all...big old white rocking chairs everywhere rather than the usual plastic airport chairs. The food here was brilliant too! Rather than just the usual Burger King and Starbucks, there was a good choice of southern style BBQ places too. Nik's kids had the usual junk food but me and Nik grabbed some fantastic old south BBQ dinner and a Carolina Blone beer to wash it down with. This would have been my favourite meal of the trip so far. I wasn't even sure what half of what I was eating was, but it was damn good (mmmm...cornbread!).
After a couple of hours which went by really fast we caught our plane to Texas. When we landed, we were met by Nik's dad and, after a stop at Walmart at 130am, we arrived at his beautiful house about 15 minutes later. Bought some awesome things at Wal-mart that my girls will love. As well as a couple of presents for them, I got some Dr. Pepper and Reece's ice cream toppings. Oh yeah! Gotta love the crap they sell at Wal-mart at all hours of the night.
Once we settled in at the house, we pretty much had to get to bed right away. The day had been another exhausting one with all the hours of airline travel, packing, un-packing, stressing about luggage...etc.
I'm looking forward to spending time in Texas. When you get the opportunity to stay at friend's and relatives houses, it's definitely a more authentic experience compared with staying in hotels, this should be very nice.

Okay, end of thread.
I took it to Parkside BMW and they cannot reset the module. They have the diagnostic equipment but it will not read. I'll just have to live with it. In conclusion, what i have learnt is.
1. If you leave your car a while, and the battery go's flat, this can discharge the internal battery in the siren, and the alarm module MIGHT reset to the default settings. This means the alarm will auto-arm after 30 seconds. It can also screw up the siren.
2. Geting someone with the right diagnostic tools is hard. BMW main dealers may, or may not have them. If you live in Yorkshire/ Nottinghamshire Parkside BMW in Worksop are as good as anywhere. The guy was great today, even reset my airbag light and never charged me a penny.
3. If you have a siren with an internal battery, dont bother trying to change it, even for a DIY change. The internals of the siren are all glued in, its impossible.
4. If you leave the car in a garage for extended periods (months), or SORN it, take steps to make sure the battery doesn't die.
Thanks for the help.

st: IV first stage, w/out all exogenous variables: reference needed
Thu, 10 May 2007 14:10:57 -0400 (EDT)
Hi all,
I'm looking for a reference for Vince Wiggins' FAQ post "Must I use all of
my exogenous variables as instruments when estimating instrumental
variables regression?"
I've looked at the Baltagi book Wiggins references, which emphasizes the
need to include all the X's from the second stage in the first stage. What
I need is a reference to the exception to this rule noted by Wiggins:
"That is when the system is triangular such that Y2 does not depend on Y1,
but you believe it is weakly endogenous because the disturbances are
correlated between the equations. You are still consistent in this case to
do what ivreg does and retain X1 and X2 as instruments. They are, however,
no longer required. In that case, you could do what you suggested and just
regress on the predicted instruments from the first stage."
Does anyone know of a textbook reference for this point?
Thanks very much!

Steamboat Springs The good news is the Steamboat Springs High School girls soccer team still controls its own destiny.
But in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Class 4A's No. 9 Wheat Ridge, there was a sense that an opportunity was missed.
The Sailors weren't as good as the Farmers for much of the first 50 minutes Saturday, but Steamboat had chances to walk away with at least a draw.
"We just didn't play as sharp as we have been," Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann said. "In a 15-game season, you're bound to have one of those games. But we feel great about the effort."
It was a game set up featuring one of Class 4A's best in Wheat Ridge. The Farmers traditionally have been one of the strongest programs in the state and showed why in the first half.
Wheat Ridge (8-1-1) dominated play, using its 3-5-2 formation to control the midfield and get premium chances in its attacking end.
But Steamboat was valiant, if not desperate, in thwarting first-half chances. Sailors freshman goalkeeper Ocoee Wilson was brilliant.
"We really felt good," Wheat Ridge coach Dan Watkins said. "I thought we had seven or eight really good chances in the first half. But give Steamboat credit."
Steamboat started to find a level of comfort in the second half. Although the field still was tilted toward Steamboat's defensive end, the Sailors started to find something.
Steamboat had a good chance in the 56th when Tatum Sear dropped a ball to Megan Stabile. Stabile hit a perfect cross into the box, but Natalie Bohlmann couldn't get enough of her left foot on the ball.
Finally, in the 63rd minute, the Farmers' Elise Boisnard created a Steamboat turnover and hit a perfect through ball to Susan Whitney for a 1-0 lead.
"She's a freshman and has had some big goals for us," Watkins said. "She had great composure and was able to finish."
Steamboat started to press forward and create opportunities, but Wheat Ridge's defense was stellar. In the 73rd, Steamboat got its best chance. A goal kick sent the Sailors on a counter, where freshman Jordi Floyd lasered a ball that hit the bottom end of the crossbar and bounced directly down to the goal line.
"We definitely started to pick up the pace and felt more comfortable in the second half," Steamboat senior Gabriel Bohlmann said. "We controlled our touches more."
Steamboat (5-2-2) still has a chance in the Western Slope League Eastern Division. The Sailors have an interesting week ahead of them. The team plays at Rifle and Glenwood Springs on Thursday.
The team, which has leaned on its depth all year, will send a team to each opponent.
The Glenwood game will be key. The Demons are the winners of the past two league championships. Steamboat also traditionally struggles on Glenwood's narrow field.
Both games begin at 6 p.m.
"It's a program-wide effort on Thursday," Rob Bohlmann said.

See What Develops
If it's April, it's the Month of Photography Los Angeles. MOPLA has fast become a highlight of the annual art calendar, combining the concentration of a fair with the sprawl of the city, and involving both lengthy and one-night exhibitions at proper galleries and intriguing pop-ups all over the geographical and stylistic map. One of the most anticipated is the weeklong pop-up presenting "Kirk Pedersen: Urban Asia" and "Susan Swihart: Passing/Outdoors With Jamie Burris." Swihart's color-rich, surrealistic chronicling of a performance work by Burris combines interpretive shooting with documentary intention; Pedersen's takes up the age-old tradition of the wandering street photographer but gives it a decidedly modern twist by examining the visually overwhelming urban environment. (Stalking the world's walls also inspired Pedersen's love of street art and his founding of the acclaimed street- and photo-centric Zero+ Publishing.) The Asian metropolises explored through Pedersen's lens are not the only cities in the world blanketed in thick layers of advertising, commercial signage and expressively aging architecture; but for western audiences, the foreignness of language and cultural vernacular adds to the wonderment -- and the satisfaction of ferreting out the familiar. MOPLA Pop-Up Gallery, 725 S. Los Angeles St., dwntwn.; Sat., April 13, 6-9 p.m.; runs through April 19; free. mopla.org/programs.

Posted by Arbor Teas on April 19, 2008
Now that the weather is (finally) turning the corner into spring/summer here in Ann Arbor, it seems only fitting that we start talking about iced tea! Although we'll be talking more on this subject in the coming weeks and months, I just wanted to give a "heads-up" primarily to our southeastern Michigan customers about a fun mini-class on iced tea that I'll be teaching this summer at Washtenaw Community College (WCC). The class,which will be held on Thursday, June 12 from 6:00 to 8:00pm, is entitled, "Iced Tea: It's Come a Long Way Since the St. Louis World's Fair!" In this short and sweet two-hour class, we'll be covering:
- A quick overview of tea (how it's made, health benefits, etc.);
- The history of iced tea;
- How to make iced tea at home;
- Fun things to do with iced tea.
For those of you that may be interested, click here to register for this class through WCC. Class size is limited, so don't delay! I hope to see many of you there!

When I use this, my face appears to become uneven and the texture becomes rough. I used it for a few weeks just on my chin and nose for my blackheads, but it didn't make any difference. Also doesn't help pimples and other blemishes.
Love it, but wish it had consistent quality
Posted by Reviewer1682184 on Feb 18, 2011 | Verified Purchase
This has really been great for my skin. I still have blemishes in my 30s, and I think that this type of exfoliation must be what I've been needing because the acne and inflammation is so much better now. But I'm only giving 4 stars because the quality has been inconsistent. The first bottle I got had clear shards of who knows what it it, and I applied it and had to brush off the shards after it dried. The second bottle had none of those shard-splintery things. The third had them once again, and I finally realized I could strain the stuff and remove most of them. I removed over one teaspoon of mystery shards from one single bottle. I just wish the manufacturer would do this for me.

Since I hit 30 I have been plagued by intermittent adult acne. Since using this product (about 3 weeks) my skin is completely clear and looks beautiful. I put it on before I go to bed and in the morning, wearing it under my make up. This is the best skincare product I have ever used.
Mix with sea berry seed oil. Save my skin!

I use it only in the evenings as it tends to leave a film on the face (I am a male so do not use a make-up ). I only miss a dropper to get it out of the bottle. Have not found a compareable formula amidst European spa brands like Avene or Vichy.

Original post made by Ted Rudow III, MA, Palo Alto High School, on Jul 20, 2012
What you've just seen is a cartel in operation, which -- not maybe -- did distort Libor for the benefits of the largest banks in the cartel. It is the largest rigging of prices in the history of the world, by many orders of magnitude. Libor is one example where we left it to banks to themselves to set important benchmarks. Many in the West are naïve about the real plight of the world. There are many who live a life of ease' unaware of the hurt that ravishes the world on a daily basis through man's bad choices.

Disgusting collusion.
Both parties are culpable in these ongoing Wall Street scandals. At least one is trying some minor reform, certainly not enough but better than handing the keys to the inmates in the asylum.
Sorry, awful analogy.
Vote Dems until the GOP at least pretends to care about the common man.

Can't find the details.
On what dates were the rate "wrong"? What was the numeric rate, wrong and right? Who were the winners and losers?
By how much? Was it collusion, or individual banks not self reporting correctly, for self interest?

The LIBOR scandal banks are going to a Mitt Romney fundraiser in London tonight -- why isn't that huge news?
What are the reporting requirements for taking foreign money?
Romney's covering it with his Olympic insulting at the Prime Minister, covering it with his MI6 gaffe, covering it with his prancing horse. The real news is he is taking foreign money.
Why is he raising money overseas? Why doesn't anyone care?
Don't miss out on the discussion!

This year around the second week of Sept the snows trickled in
Then early Oct with the cold and wet conditions there was quite abit driven down from the north spread out WEst Central Sask had some birds,Central Sask was really hot in spots East Central Sask saw a slight shift to the East and there were more fields and opps for everyone.
Mid Oct saw a warming spell and the geese were plentifull still up north central Sask and they took their time comming into south Sask. They were spread out everywhere in smaller flocks
However come probably NOV 5 a big snowstorm and change of lower temperatures will drive whatever southward and you will see high v flights going to the USA Border.
Meantime I will be repairing my guns during the winter months and editing some more pics for posting later on.
Good Hunting Guys!!!

I recently went through the same search for the right peep sight. I went with the Skinner Elite. Easy to install, quick target acquisition, and looks sharp. Had to get a taller front sight and trim it to get it sighted in. Very handy for quick shots in the woods. Andy was very helpful and his website has detail instructions.

I have had (and used) Williams, A/O (now XS), Brockmans, and Skinner's...All are good sights, but only you can decide which one works best for you. I've chosen...Skinners for me!

I am going to ask you something different. What do you need a peep for? Hunting, target, silhouette or some combination thereof? Also how far distancewise do you shoot?
I have 2 Skinners and have nothing but great things to say about them (and Andy as well), but although they have windage and elevation
adjustments, when it comes to long distance and some silhouette stuff they are unidimensional (no distance adjustment).

Learn about our partnership with Prevent Breast Cancer (formerly Genesis) charity
Know your rights and responsibilities when you're moving to a new country. Living abroad is an exciting and interesting experience, but the decision to make the leap shouldn't be taken lightly.
Britannia Bradshaw can help your international move go smoothly. Contact us for a free, no obligation quote or call 0161 877 5555 (Manchester) 0121 504 0966 (Birmingham) and speak with a removals specialist.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has produced a very informative video with insights and some excellent advice on buying a property and living abroad. Before you make a move abroad, be sure to view it.
After each move, we send a survey to ensure our customers are satisfied. As of 23 March 2017, our customers have rated our removal company as follows:

My family and I have used Britannia several times and have always received a good service. Very flexible, given my lack of availability for an assessment and the short time-frame. [Removal men were] Mike Preston and Chris Heyworth - really friendly and helpful
The move day experience far exceeded our expectations. Considering moving house is meant to be one of the most stressful things you can do, we were relaxed for the whole two days with plenty of time to make a cuppa! We had every confidence in the removals crew. Jay and his team were professional, helpful and kept us organised without being obtrusive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
Amazing service from Britannia Bradshaw I'll definitely recommend you to friends and family. Thank you for making what can be a very stressful day go so smoothly. For me everything was great can't think of anything to improve. Ben and James were very friendly, polite and helpful - amazing service
Absolutely fantastic, could not have asked for better! Very caring as I was a wreck! Giovanni and Amrick.
The service provided was excellent, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The removals crew (Andy J, Andy L, Cookie & Presto) were absolutely brilliant, everything moved and reconstructed quickly and efficiently, and importantly, without a single scratch, scrape or breakage.
You can't [improve the service]. The lads removing were brilliant. I very rarely meet such good service. Billy and the lads were all really helpful, friendly and courteous. The move was delayed and they had to stay late, on a Friday evening and not one of them complained. I couldn't speak highly enough of them.
Out of a number of similar companies I contacted, the person who answered the phone was by far the most warm, polite and helpful. Although it was one of the most reasonably-priced quotes we had, the main reason for choosing Britannia Bradshaw was that from the very first phone call, we had the sense we could trust your company. When it comes to having your possessions shipped overseas, that trust is more important than small differences in price.
We contacted Britainnia Bradshaw several times before being visited for a quote. Each time, staff were kind and helpful, going out of their way to be helpful and reassuring. They were a main reason we chose to go with Brittania Bradshaw. They were fantastic. It took four people working a very long day to get us packed, moved and unpacked. Even in the final hour, they were hard-working, kind to our children and incredibly professional. Great service, a competitive quote and willing to work with our tight timeframe for a move.
