It hasn't been pretty for the New England Patriots (2-0), but nevertheless the team has been able to win the first two games due to the defense forcing turnovers in some key situations. As for the offense, Tom Brady still is trying to find somebody besides Julian Edelman to throw the ball too in a big spot. It did not help last week that the struggles of rookies Kembrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson continued to surface with all the drops that each receiver had.
As for potential reinforcements, tight end Rob Gronkowski is 50-50 for this game as he is still recovering from the back surgery and Danny Amendola will miss two to six weeks with a sports hernia injury that, so far, will not require surgery. This means that the rookies will have another week to try to form some synergy for Brady. Hopefully, the star quarterback will have some more patience with his wide receiver this week. As for the matchup on Sunday(1:00 ET, FOX), the Patriots' opponent has had a circus of their own over the last couple of weeks and is led by another mediocre quarterback.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) come into Foxboro after losing their first two games by a total of five points. This is a team that brought in Darrelle Revis and Dashon Goldson to improve their secondary in the offseason against quarterbacks like Matt Ryan and Drew Brees in the division. However, the past two weeks have seen Revis needing a 15 minute meeting to clear the air with head coach Greg Schiano about how the former Jets' cornerback is being used. It has seen a division between the head coach and quarterback Josh Freeman as Freeman has seen his captaincy been taken away and has overslept for the team photo. This is still a talented offense, but the quarterback could be the one thing holding Tampa back from being a contender in the NFC South.
Here are my three keys to this Sunday's matchup in Foxboro:
Strand Revis On His Own Island: With the Patirots being used to Darrelle Revis from his time with the Jets, the one thing you know Bill Belichick and Tom Brady will gameplan this week is making sure they keep the ball away from even being near the vicinity of Revis. However, the Bucs' zone defense scheme is a scheme Revis does not like to play in because it takes away from his great man coverage skills. Even though DaShon Goldson's suspension got overturned, the Patriots can still try to gain confidence for Aaron Dobson or Kembrell Thompkins as one of them will likely be matched up against fellow rookie cornerback Jhonathan Banks. Banks is a talented young cornerback, but he isn't Revis Island. When they do catch the ball, Goldson could be waiting for them with a big hit over the middle.
Keep The Muscle Hamster In The Cage: In order for the Patriots' defense to put the game solely in the hands of Josh Freeman, they need to contain Tampa's muscle hamster in the backfield, Doug Martin. Last week, Doug Martin had 144 yards on 29 carries against the New Orleans Saints. Martin does a great job at breaking tackles and picking up extra yards to move the chains. New England struggled to stop the Jets' running attack last Thursday, giving up 129 rushing yards as a team. Which Patriots' rush defense shows up this week? Is it the one that shut down C.J Spiller in Week 1 or could not stop Chris Ivory or Bilal Powell in Week 2? The key will be Rob Ninkovich and the Patriots' linebackers as they will try to contain Martin and put Josh Freeman (45.3% passing) into 3rd and long situations.
Special Teams Not So "Special": Normally, I wouldn't be keeping my eye on special teams, but the Patriots have another huge injury to that aspect of the game. Kickoff specialist and Pro Bowler Matthew Slater will miss at least a month due to a broken wrist. This is a Patriots' special teams unit that already has issues with its kickoff coverage and the Buccaneers' kick returners (Eric Page, Doug Martin, and Kevin Ogletree) have averaged 31.3 yards per kickoff return. As for kickoff returns for the Patriots, who will be the second man back to take the kickoffs next to 250+ pound guy LeGarrette Blount. I think Blount could play a significant role against his former team, but it will be as a running back and not a kick returner.
As I said at the beginning of the preview, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a talented football team that could be 2-0 if it wasn't for late game mistakes. The Patriots have not shown at this point that they can light up the scoreboard on offense. If Rob Gronkowski does play, I do expect the offense to be better, but not quite at what the last couple of years have been. Tampa Bay has good targets at wide receiver in Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams who will make some plays. I said this last week on my radio show: If Josh Freeman was not the quarterback in this game, I would pick the Buccaneers. However, the Patriots build on their +3 turnover ratio in two games and force enough mistakes to pull out another ugly win.

Costume Information
|I made my Pikachu outfit using items which could be brought in shops such as Primark and drew parts of the items of clothing. I ordered the ears, wig and tail from ebay.
I have worn this outfit at two conventions, Midlands MCM Expo in 2012 and Birmingham Memorabilia in 2012.
This is my favourite costume so far as well as the most popular so far. For the outfit I bought shorts and a mens yellow t-shirt and drew brown lines on the back of the t-shirt.

Dealstruck Launches New Line Of Credit Product For Small Businesses
San Diego-based startup Dealstruck, the startup developing an online marketplace to help small businesses find loan funding, has rolled out a new product, saying today that it has launched a new, asset-based line of credit product. The crowdfunding site said the new product lets businesses drawn down funding like a credit card, paying interest only on the amount outstanding, with the ability to pay down their credit loans at any time. The company said its product is aimed at bank lines of credit, which the company says have been difficult for small businesses to access, and have been limited to larger businesses with monthly revenues of more than $500,000. Dealstruck is led by Ethan Senturia. The company is taking a different approach to crowdfunding, offering up debt-based funding to companies, rather than equity.

Alright I got three suggestions.
File listing order: This has come up a few times recently, so I figured I would throw it in so people can talk about if they agree. But I think files should be listed on the new files page in order of their approval, rather than by time of upload. Peoples files have been skipped, or held for various legitimate reasons, but when they are finally approved they sometimes get buried, and lose that first day, front page, benefit that all files get on their first day.
File updates: I think that some things need to be changed in regards to updating current files in the system. I think it can go one of two ways…if not both. I think if an author has the ability to see their buyers of each file, they have the ability to send out a notification email regarding the update. When files are updated, if the buyers dont come back to the files page to see if there is an updated description, they will never know. If staff does not want the authors to see a full list of buyers. I think a system should be worked in that keeps track of all buyers for each particular file. When an update is made to a file, a 1 time button becomes available to author. When they click this button it will send out a generic email to all previous buyers informing them that their file has an update that they can return and download.
Also in regards to file listings…I really think updated files should re-appear at the top of the new files list. Technically updates can change, or improve files. With this method it will give some motivation to the authors to keep improving their files. Old files will not be buried. If the author makes an update, it pops right back into circulation. And all is well. Also if the above suggestion for updating is not accepted, at least if the file re-appears in the new file list, then there is a chance that people will see it when browsing and visit to download. Upon re-adding it to the new file list, it will show that this is an updated file and not a brand new version.
File comments: I have said this multiple times, and I will say it again. I know how great the RSS feed is, and I know it would probably a huge task to create what I am suggesting. But if there were some type of mailbox system implemented, that would keep track of messages, and file comments. I think we can avoid all of the issues that come up with posting in the forum for questions regarding files. Thus eliminating debates on self-promotion. It seems as though authors complaints involve its hard not having everything in one place. The comments in the files can become huge lists, and the emails just get cluttered in the inbox of the authors real email. I think if we had a messages section added. Where there would be two inboxes, one inbox for new messages, and the other for new comments. In those inboxes the author can read, reply, and clear new comments and messages.
What does everyone think?
good suggestions Mark. Specially 1st and 3rd.
where do i sign this?
good post doze!
Also in regards to file listings…I really think updated files should re-appear at the top of the new files list.
not sure about this, if implemented expect endless small "updates" done to get more time at the top of the new files list.
Also in regards to file listings…I really think updated files should re-appear at the top of the new files list.not sure about this, if implemented expect endless small "updates" done to get more time at the top of the new files list.
not really… must be a date that can be set only once… on first approve.. then the scripts can check if that parameter is null or already set
not sure about this, if implemented expect endless small "updates" done to get more time at the top of the new files list.
Well I think its still sort of helpful, even if that occurs. I think it will motivate sellers to keep producing the goods, and then keep the goods current after they are produced. It will surely keep the buyers of said files quite happy. And even if the updates are small, and just made as attempts to get back up to the top of the list…I feel like any update is better than no update. Also its always going to be up the reviewer. If someone updates their file to now have one word display in the color pink, when it was previously white…would not be an acceptable update. Ya know…I think us as reviewers should only accept updates that are functional, or if they fix issues.
Also lastly, if the page does begin to fill up with updated files in the new section…it might push buyers to really go searching for files they are looking for, or good quality files. I mean if someone uploads an AMAZING carousel that gets buried after 4 months, and a carousel gets uploaded today, that is a carousel but fails in comparison to the other one, I think many buyers will still buy the new one, rather than shopping around a bit. I think it will make for a better experience and cause buyers to buy what is nice, what is good, and what they need, rather than buying it because its the first one they see.
It would help to take away the advantage of being a new file. Level the playing field, and have files sell based on their quality, not based on their age.
Hoping staff will read this. Great ideas!
Well, I guess you could have a little symbol next to the file name/thumbnail/whatever, denoting whether the file is, in fact, new, or has just been recently updated..
Maybe brand new files, could be displayed in a bold type-face, and the updated ones not appear on the front page..
I'm reading! Some really good ideas. Vahid's out doing accounting training today (yuck!) but I'll message him since he's in charge of these things now!!

We have reached the end of the summer and thus the end of my summer outreach series. You can check out Parts I, II, III, and IV for a refresher.
As campus readies itself for the influx of new students, it seems only appropriate that this installment focuses on partnerships with student affairs. Librarians are talking about ways to demonstrate their value, both in terms of maintaining and growing collections and providing important services to their institutions. In our new higher education landscape, there is a push toward more accountability and I agree that demonstrating value is a part of that. But as Barbara Fisher suggested yesterday in Inside Higher Ed, "Libraries are suddenly obsessed with demonstrating value, but measures of value that become unanchored from philosophical values can be destructive. (This is an issue for all of higher education. In the rush to prove our value, leaders sometimes toss our values overboard.)" Well said, I say. Beyond supporting research and knowledge creation, I also believe that librarians play a role in supporting our students' success in other areas of their life on campus beyond the classroom. For me, supporting student success across campus in collaboration with student affairs is in line with librarianship's values around community.
Fully supporting students requires different departments and individuals to work together in and out of the classroom. At Hampshire, one great example of this are the partnerships librarians forge with our office of First Year Programs. Last year, an amazing woman took on First Year programming and met with us during the summer to talk about possible collaborations. In exchange for some food budgets and free advertising, we put together programming for research lunches and late night research consultations in the library at peak times. These programs were great for two reasons:
1. We learned more about how student affairs worked and more on challenges First Years face.
2. Students met us in different contexts, discovered that we are friendly and helpful, and become repeat customers.
3. First Year Programs had successful sessions, we had support to market ourselves, and thus everyone involved came out as winners.
While these collaborations really embody our library's mission to support student research and development, partnering with student affairs and first year programs allows us to put names with faces in different parts of campus that can guide students through other roadblocks they encounter. So often, a student will come to me with a research question that is actually a screen for another crisis. By making connections with folks across campus that can help with any variety of student distress, I know who to call on to refer a student towards a successful outcome. That's huge. I am not suggesting that librarians are an extension of student affairs – or that we should be in the business of fixing our students' problems – but we can and often do play a role in supporting our students' emotional lives. And often times, one caring adult at college can be the difference between a student staying and leaving. Retention is a huge metric of success in higher education, and I want to suggest that librarians can and do contribute to students staying, thriving, and graduating.
Librarianship is as much about service as it is about collections. Measuring service can be tricky and imperfect, but I believe that we can tie our services into the actions colleges and universities take retain students. In a landscape where higher education is faced with making tough decisions that force us to confront compromises in our values, librarians can feel secure that working at the intersection of student affairs and academic services can provide our campus communities with tremendous value, and value we as librarians can be proud of.

I'm giving the couch a break. It needs one. It has provided sterling service over the last seven weeks but it is time to remove my posterior, poke my head outside the front door and reacquaint myself with natural daylight and fresh air.
The Indian Premier League is dangerous. It can become seriously addictive and once you're hooked it's tough to quit. Leaving the couch -- other than for a strategic time out -- becomes a daily battle. Everyday chores are delayed or ignored, and lame excuses are offered in the hope of placating loved ones.
The fifth edition of IPL was tortuous. The plot contained more twists and turns than a theme park rollercoaster. Opting to ignore the drama merely led to a feeling of negligence, an urge to catch up and a resolution that this would not happen again.
It was compelling stuff from beginning to end. Before a ball was bowled the owners of the Pune Warriors kicked up a stink over sponsorship and threatened not to take part at all. In the event, the franchise would hardly have been missed. Its expensively assembled squad failed to launch and limped in at the bottom of the standings.
The best batsman in Twenty20 cricket also missed out. Chris Gayle is a danger to bowlers and spectators alike. He sent a little girl to hospital with a broken nose after clobbering one of his mighty sixes into the crowd. She forgave him when he visited her but probably not the Bangalore franchise. Not even Gayle's monumental efforts were enough to hoist the Royal Challengers into the playoffs.
Mumbai got there but the search for success goes on. For a team so deep in talent, it was another campaign which promised much but ultimately fell flat. History will remember 2012 as the year in which Sachin Tendulkar finally completed a lifetime's work by reaching 100 international centuries, not the one in which he helped his hometown Indians to the IPL title.
CHENNAI, India -- Manvinder Bisla and Jacques Kallis struck half-centuries to help Kolkata Knight Riders win the Indian Premier League on Sunday, defeating two-time defending champion Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in a high-scoring final.
Opener Bisla plundered 89 off 48 balls with eight fours and five sixes, while South African Kallis hit 69 off 49 balls, as Kolkata scored 192-5 in 19.4 overs in reply to Chennai's commanding 190-3.
Manoj Tiwary struck two successive boundaries off West Indian pacer Dwayne Bravo to help the visitors clinch a thrilling victory at the Chidambaram Stadium in their first appearance in an IPL final.
Wicketkeeper Bisla, who replaced New Zealand's Brendon McCullum, was effortless in his shot execution as he put on 136 for the second wicket with Kallis after skipper and batting mainstay Gautam Gambhir fell to Australian pace man Ben Hilfenhaus in the opening over.
"I'm feeling very happy I played my part," Bisla said. "Brendon is a class player, his record speaks for himself. "
Bisla was dismissed by South African Albie Morkel, whom he had previously hit for four boundaries in one over, with Kolkata needing 52 off 32 balls. Bravo sent back Laxmi Rathan Shukla for 3 and when India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Yusuf Pathan for one, Kolkata were left needing 27 off 17.
He was so out of touch they dropped him. They won't do that again. There's more chance of a Martian invasion than Murali Vijay being dropped for Sunday's Indian Premier League final.
The local hero finally came through when it mattered most. The fist pump celebration said it all. This was not a dignified raising of the bat in acknowledgment of a milestone. It was a mixture of personal relief and defiance of his critics. The message was received loud and clear.
It has been a season-long battle. Prior to his brilliant, match-winning century against the Delhi Daredevils, Vijay had flattered to deceive. His patchy form mirrored that of his team -- so much was expected of the Chennai Super Kings but inconsistency appeared the only constant.
Six of Canada's talented u19 players have been named to the ICC Americas U-19 Development team which will take part in the West Indies Cricket Board Regional U-19 tournament in Barbados later this summer.
Manny Aulakh, Nitish Kumar, Akash Shah, Darren Ramsammy, Nikhil Dutta and Rayankhan Pathan will join representatives from the United States, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda to form a combined Americas team in the regional West Indies development event.
It was an intimate affair for those who enjoyed the pleasant Victoria Day evening at Toronto Cricket Club to attend a special event co-presentation of "An Evening with Haroon Lorgat" by Cricket Canada and World Cricket Weekly.
The nearly sixty guests were treated to an introspective discussion between the outgoing International Cricket Council Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat and broadcast veteran and World Cricket Weekly host Nigel Reed.
The "Inside the Actor's Studio" style setting allowed the well researched and well prepared host to engage with Mr. Lorgat in an intellectual discussion that spanned from his experiences in primary school as a young South African Indian during the Apartheid era to his legacy as cricket's top man during a period of strong global growth and high performance.
Full video coverage was provided by World Cricket Weekly with highlights to air on gocricketgocanada.com and Cricket Canada TV in the coming month.
During the evening, Cricket Canada's Womens team were deservingly recognized for their achievement in winning the ICC Americas Women's T20 Championship and earning a spot in the ICC Women's World T20 Qualifiers later this year.

There's a sports competition that the US doesn't (and can't) participate in, which is why you've likely never heard of The Commonwealth Games.
It was at these games in Glasgow, that a pair of Australian Field Hockey players took a selfie...and had a bit of a cheeky surprise waiting for them.

Cranston Police Shoot, Wound Virginia Fugitive
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Cranston police have shot and wounded a fugitive from Virginia.
The Providence Journal reports that police say Shawn A. Sykes was carrying a gun and drugs when police tried to approach him at a traffic stop on Saturday.
Providence police say he's wanted by authorities in Richmond, Va., for commercial sex offenses. He also was out on bail for drug charges from Providence.
Cranston police say Sykes was driving erratically and wouldn't stop. Police say he got out of his vehicle and pointed a gun at two Cranston officers. One fired back, hitting him in the arm.
Sykes was treated and released to the custody of Providence police. He's being held on charges of felony assault, drug and gun charges.
It was not known Sunday if he's represented by a lawyer.

This isn't maintained here anymore!
The real, official, up to date one is on NASIOC. Go there instead
project:BDR 2003 WRX: STX autox build thread (sponsored by Andrewtech) - NASIOC
Hi, my name is John and I'm pretty addicted to autocross.
Hi, John!
This is my story / log / build thread. Take it for what it's worth - not much I am by no means a suspension expert. I will explain my choices to the best of my ability/knowledge, but I'm just one guy who has read a couple of books and a bunch of forum posts. I am getting better at making my car do what I want it to do but I may not always be able to explain why it does what it does In other words, my generalizations should not be accepted blindly as absolute truth. Suspension tuning is freakin' hard, and I can only put so many caveats in here!
Here is a great quote from Lee Grimes at Koni that applies to this thread, but also applies to most everything:Originally Posted by CRX Lee
In late 2003 some friends and I decided to form a motorsports team, project:BDR (project: BDR). Nowadays, it's more like a drinking team with an autocross problem It's not a big formal thing, just a group of friends who all like autocross. So, obligatory shoutout - couldn't ask for a better group of friends.
I would also like to take a quick second to thank the companies that have sponsored and supported my efforts:
-Andrewtech Automotive: Ever since Andrew was a Subaru tech at Hillmuth he has had a reputation for being an excellent mechanic and an amazingly nice guy. When Andrew left Hillmuth in 2005 to start its own shop it was great news for the entire Subaru community. Every time I've needed something, even last minute, they have gotten me back on the road so that I could compete. And they care. And if they screw up, they admit it and fix it. They have the best Subaru techs of any shops in the area, IMHO and their work shows it. Plus, Jake and Dan are out autocrossing their WRX-swapped Street Mod car at a ton of events every year. It's not just a job for them. Other than fixing anything that goes wrong, they also do all my alignments/cornerbalancing - and as you know, that can happen a lot in a given year. They have always nailed my specs perfectly. I couldn't ask for anything more.
-Discount Tire Direct: They have, IMHO, the most comprehensive set of ST* wheels and tires of any company out there: the AD07's, the Direzzas and the Falkens, plus the Enkeis (including the RPF1) and the 5Zigen FN01R-C's. They price match and they have free shipping. For more information, click here.
-Hyperco: Suspension tuning is a big deal and that often means swapping spring rates. The three companies most people think of are Eibach, Hyperco and Swift. In late 2007, Hyperco announced a new line of springs - the Optimum Body Diameter (OBD) springs. They have the travel of the Swifts, but the pricetag of the Eibachs - definitely the best bang for buck on the market. More on this later, but that's the overview.
-StopTech: Their customer service has been nothing short of outstanding. They put a lot of thought into their products and they offer great brake tech on their website. I bought my StopTechs used - the previous owner did track events on them for four years - and they are still going strong after all that abuse. Eric has been great to work with.
Onto the build!

As Guilty Lobbyist Jack Abramoff Is Sentenced, Itĺs Time for Tom Feeney to Come Clean
As guilty lobbyist Jack Abramoff is sentenced today to four years in prison for "trading luxury golf junkets, expensive meals, skybox tickets and other gifts for political favors" [Associated Press, 9/4/08], the questions of Representative Tom Feeney's (FL-24) relationship with Abramoff continue to go unanswered.
Feeney is part of the FBI investigation into connections to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, after accompanying Abramoff on an infamous golf junket to Scotland in 2003, and Feeney has already paid over $147,000 in legal fees this election cycle.
Unlike convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who admitted that he "did many bad things" and has cooperated with the FBI, Tom Feeney has yet to come clean to the people of Florida's 24th District about his Scotland golf junket with Abramoff and what he did for Abramoff in return.
"Today's sentencing of guilty lobbyist Jack Abramoff only highlights the fact that Tom Feeney continues to hide from questions about his unethical relationship with Abramoff and remains part of an FBI investigation for his infamous golf junket to Scotland," said Kyra Jennings, DCCC Southern Regional Press Secretary. "Feeney has clearly put his own interests and special interests above the people of his district and this November he will be held accountable for his unethical connections and character."
- Feeney Has Not Come Clean on the Cost of His 2003 Scotland Trip
Feeney reimbursed the government $5,643 to cover the cost of the trip, but court documents later revealed that the trip may have cost as much as $20,000. [Florida Today, 4/26/07]
- Feeney Has Not Come Clean on if He Knew Abramoff Sponsored the Trip
Feeney falsely claimed that the 2003 Scotland golf junket was sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research. But an e-mail obtained by the St. Petersburg Times showed that Abramoff's assistant told Feeney's executive assistant to report the trip was sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research at a cost of $5,643 per person. According to court documents, another recipient of the e-mail said he knew the expense details for the Scotland trip were lies coordinated by Abramoff. [St. Petersburg Times, 4/26/07]
- Feeney Has Not Come Clean on His 2003 Scotland Trip Being Paid For by Abramoff's "Slush Fund"
In January 2007, Feeney said he was "duped and lied to" about what he thought was a fact-finding trip with Abramoff. Documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday from the Senate Indian Affairs Committee show that Abramoff's personal charity, Capital Athletic Foundation, paid $150,226.32 for a "Scotland fundraiser" in 2003. [Orlando Sentinel, 4/27/08]
- Feeney Has Not Come Clean on Rule Change for Abramoff's Clients
Feeney cosigned a 2003 who wrote to the Energy Department to oppose changes to a federal program that was also opposed by Atofina Chemicals, a client of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. [St. Petersburg Times, 4/29/07]
- Feeney Has Not Returned All of Abramoff's Money
In 2006, the Associated Press reported that Feeney accepted $4,000 from Abramoff, the Indian tribes that hired him or SunCruz Casinos, which Abramoff purchased with a partner, and Feeney's campaign kept the $3,000 received from Indian tribes represented by Abramoff. [Associated Press State & Local Wire, 1/04/06; Orlando Sentinel, 1/08/06]
- Feeney Repeatedly Voted to Stop Ethics Committee Investigation into Abramoff
In 2006, Feeney voted in favor of two motions to kill a proposal that forced the House Ethics committee to immediately begin an investigation into members of the House embroiled in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. [HRS762, Vote #87, 4/05/06; HRS 746, Vote #76, 3/30/06]
- Feeney has spent $147,223.71 since last Election Day on Legal Fees
Feeney's total legal bills for this election cycle come to over $147,000, with more than $90,000 of those payments being made from Feeney's campaign account. Feeney even paid $15,000 in legal fees in July alone. [fec.gov; Legislative Resource Center]

Hello all.
I don't have as much experience as everybody else out here so if this question seems ridiculous - let me know why. The other day I was 'trolling' the posting trying to enlarge my knowledge and stumbled across this post, and even commented on it. The post is here - http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...ean-Long-Hives
It seems that in this modified design, the user has potentially created a perfect hive consisting of a 'normal hive', starter/finisher and nuc builder - all within the same hive body. It would seem that you might have created a TBH, using a combination of Langston building materials and created a possibly great hive. With some modifications (additional entrances, a screened bottom, and multiple dividers you could create a single place to make splits for sale and also gather some honey. Here's what I'm proposing - and (be kind) but let me know why this wouldn't work -
1. unsure of the size, as 32 frames seems rather large, but might work in the long run depending on how many frames you want to manage in the initial hive + nucs or double-hive in the same box - besides I could grow as needed. I live in SC so the cold isn't really too much of a factor for me by needing all the extra insulation in the sides, but would need adequate top ventilation to keep all the humidity out during the summer time.
2. i like the ability to use Langston frames for several reasons - similar frames, easy nuc packages, a pre-formed foundation for the bees to build off of - which means less potential 'slop' from erratic comb building, and easy transfer ability later for nucs or into other hives. I could supplement other hives if needed also.
3. solid bottom - got to go as even with TBH's there is a screened bottom for SHB, mite checks, etc. Why couldn't I just use a full screening across the bottom? less space for SHB to hide, and anything that drops, wasn't needed anyway. I could build a 'tray' to slide mite/cardboard onto for mite checks simply enough.
4. by pre-drilling multiple holes in the sides I could create additional hives, or nucs by giving them their own entrances to use. I can use 'full' frames to section them easly enough with this design. If I need to reduce their size in the fall, I just slide the frames around and 'cork up' the extra holes.
5. I can easily move queen cells/brood/honey stores around either within this environment, or from other hives as needed to create nucs.
6. less hardware - over all as I have every thing "in 1 place". with starter/finisher hives I have to have multiple boxes and keep moving from place to place to accomplish this.
7. using pre-made screened sections I'd be able to provide some 'top based' ventilation to keep the sections cooler in the summer.
8. utilizing 'section covers' would allow me to only work in specific area's of the hive that needed manipulation and therefor reduced 'stress' on the whole hive or to the other area's that I'm not interested in. This would be a 'key' idea as I don't know what/how a 32-frame hive would react if you snatched their roof off all at 1 time. LOL
obviously I'm interested in this solution to make a few nucs, expand my known good stock and then later migrate/move them into their own hives and not interested in massive honey production.
that being said, what am i missing, or why wouldn't this work?

Shots Fired Through Redfern Window
A number of shots were fired through the window of a building in the Redfern Houses in Far Rockaway at about 2 p.m. on February 20, police say. Police officers spread out through the sprawling housing complex right on the Nassau County border and checked local hospitals, but could not find a victim of the shooting. Police responded to the Ocean Bay Houses and the Hammel Houses as well, as part of a peninsula-wide plan to stop gang-related shootings. Pictured, an officer from the NYPD's Emergency Services Unit (ESU) shows another officer a bullet fragment he dug out of a window frame at 15-44 Hassock Street.

Seeking Dental Care Advice? Check Out This Advice!

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums should be one of your top priorities. Also, you should take the time to learn about issues that can arise without good oral hygiene. Continue reading to learn more about your dental health. where to find a dentist in kings cross
Find a good toothbrush and make sure to replace it every few months. The ideal toothbrush should be soft on your gums. If you bleed when brushing your teeth, you need to find a softer toothbrush. Do not keep the same toothbrush for more than a month since bacteria can quickly develop on this object.
You should always brush for at least two minutes. Brushing less than th where plaque can build up. Be certain to make time to brush your teeth, so you don't get plaque buildup.
To whiten your teeth, try hydrogen peroxide. You can use hydrogen peroxide very safely by simply pouring a little into the bottle cap and then dipping your toothbrush right into the peroxide. Make sure you are gently brushing for two minutes. Once you do this, brush your teeth using regular toothpaste.
If there is even a tiny spot of blood on the sink or your mouth after you brush, it's time to see the dentist, or a periodontist. Bleeding gums could mean gum disease, which could become a major issue if left untreated. Prevent yourself from infections, bone and tooth loss and other diseases by stopping gum disease in its tracks.
If you would like healthier teeth, you need to do more than just brush them each day. You should also floss and use a good mouthwash. Tooth brushing doesn't kill as many germs as necessary, and flossing gets rid of the food that gets stuck between each tooth. Flossing, brushing and mouthwash are the trifecta of oral hygiene!
You need to brush for at least two minutes. If you want to keep your teeth healthy, you need to spend the time to get your teeth properly clean. Fast brushing results in decayed teeth.
If a dentist suggests a deep cleaning for your teeth, seek a second opinion. You will have to pay more for this kind of a cleaning and it takes a while to do, so it's possible that your dentist just wants your money.
Do not go too fast when brushing. Many people brush, but rush through it. Many people make this mistake. Take care and adequate time while you brush your teeth. You don't want to get into some mundane routine. Brush for two minutes, at least.
family dentist in kings crossy Sometimes dentists will allow you to develop a payment plan with them. A lot of dentist's offices offer payment plans or will help you find a financial institution so you can apply for a loan. This is a good way to break the cost down into affordable chunks.
To help protect your teeth, eat a diet rich in calcium. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are calcium enriched and will help your dental health. If you dislike eating high-calcium foods, you should think about taking a daily calcium supplement pill.
As we age, we are naturally going to have wear and tear on our teeth. That, however, does not mean that there is not anything that you can do to help. Apply these suggestions to keep your teeth as healthy as possible for as long as you can.

′SNL Korea 2′ to Put on Big Show with New R Rating
TvN′s Saturday Night Live Korea 2 (SNL Korea 2) will again be putting on a show exclusively for adults with its new R rating.
The Yang Dong Geun episode shot up in popularity with the show′s first R-rated performance, and for the upcoming fourth episode, the crew of SNL Korea 2 has declared, "We′ll do whatever we can without a host."
The June 16 broadcast of SNL Korea 2, which will take place live at the CJ E&M Center, will put on a splendid Saturday live show with the 16 members of its crew, which includes director Jang Jin, Lee Han Ui, Kang Sung Jin, Jang Young Nam, Im Hye Young, Kang Yumi, Ahn Young Mi, Jung Sung Ho, Ko Kyung Pyo and Kim Seul Gi. No host will appear on the episode.
Big cameos, such as the king of acting Lee Soon Jae, Grand National Party congressman Lee Jae Oh, actors Im Ha Ryong and Kim Bu Sun, will instead be spicing up the show with their appearances. The cameos from SNL Korea 2 have all contributed to the show′s political satire and weird sexy code by putting on new images never before seen.
The producers of SNL Korea 2 said, "As much as we′ve heightened the ratings, we′ll be putting on a real live TV show for adults with a sexy code, weird humor and satire. You can look forward to laughing your Saturday night off."
SNL Korea 2 first got its R rating for its June 10 episode with host Yang Dong Geun, who appeared as a sex video boy, crazy fan and even a pervert. The My Mimi Doll music video that aired in the episode made issues across the web, and even drew requests for an official music site release.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
it will probably do you some good and invigorate your running when you get back. you'll lose less fitness than you think as you will carry muscle memory. if you can tick over while you're way then that will help but don't sweat it. many if us have longer out with injury but if the base is good, it comes back readily.
We're all different, and it depends on age and various other factors, but in my experience it takes as long as the time out to regain *most* of the fitness lost and as much again to get back that final 10 per cent or so.
If I were out of it for 7 weeks I'd resume with the first week or so just gently easing myself in then take it from there. But you probably don't need me to tell you not to overcook it when you start over ...
In fact, taking a month or two off once in a while is no bad thing.
about 2 weeks....but depends on how much lack of exercise, boozing and eating you do in those 7 weeks!! if you manage to stay exercised and stop putting the pounds on, then it won't be long
Whereas my answer assumes you do nothing during the 7 weeks ...
i'd suggest any cardio work you can do at all during the 7 week running hiatus will help slow down the fitness decline and put you in a better position when you return. i you can't run, perhaps swim, hike, cycle, even a brisk walk regularly. Your cardio fitness will likely be the quickest to decline, but the quickest to regain too. You're unlikely to suffer major reverses in your muscle development during this time.
the fewer pies and pints you can swallow, the better
When you get back, you'll probably be about the same level as I am now....
In terms of your ability to go out and run, you should see hardly any difference at all. You will lose a little speed and conditioning, but your base fitness level won't fall that much, and some of the loss will be offset by a decent rest and recovery.
If you were in the middle of a very structured programme, say building up to a marathon, then you would have to be more careful coming back in. Often quoted advice is to start back behind where you left off, and then take the same amount of time as you had off to get back on track with the programme. In your case I'd say come back and have a week of 3 or 4 steady runs of normal distances, and then gradually incorporate anyspeed sessions in the following weeks.
A data point: every spring I get up to marathon form at about WAVA 67% level ie reasonably good club but not county level. Then I have four weeks summer holiday, three of which i hike typically 15 miles a day average. If I do no running on top of the hiking, or even only a bit, I find a lot of the form has gone and it's very frustrating getting back up to speed. It takes at least two weeks to get most of the way there and say a month until I feel happyish. It'
Having said that, I tend to set mara pbs in the second half of the year, after coming back in form for 6 weeks or more. So the "rest" and change of activity could be seen as a way of double-peaking for the year. Plus the fitness of your bones, joints and sinews takes a lot longer to decay than aerobic fitness and muscles.

More of the same this week 3 Daryl Washington NE He is already one of the best LBs against the pass and he will see a lot of the Tes this week 4 D'Qwell Jackson CIN Even when his tackle numbers are low he still comes up big on the field and in fantasy circles 5 Brian Cushing JAX Will meet MJD in the hole a lot and will probably have a few chances to tally a sack too 6 Navorro Bowman DET He showed last year was not a fluke and is slowly outperforming Willis 7 Curtis Lofton CAR As long as he remains in the middle in NO he will have a lot of games with 8-10 total tackles 8 Sean Lee SEA Hot start and another nice matchup to keep it up 9 Patrick Willis DET I want to put him higher, but just cannot 10 Sean Weatherspoon DEN 3-down LB that will see a lot of passes flying around 11 Derrick Johnson BUF Buffalo's offense leaves a lot to be desired and DJ should be able to make his way through the junk to get 8 or so tackles 12 D.J. Smith CHI A lot of Forte and Bush for Smith to contend with this week 13 Paul Posluszny HOU the matchup makes me want to put him higher, but he did not go off against Peterson last week so I am tempering my expectations 14 Donald Butler TEN Was one of the few highlights of the Monday night game. He was everywhere 15 Colin McCarthy SD He would be in the top-10 if fully healthy. Check injury reports to make sure he is able to play in this one 16 Karlos Dansby OAK He will see McFadden all over the place and should get some good tackle chances in trying to stop him 17 London Fletcher STL NO did not run the ball much, but Fletcher really had a slow game in week 1. Hopefully it was a fluke and not a sign of him slowing down 18 Chad Greenway IND He is an elite option, but if Indy does not run much then the tackles could be limited 19 Jerod Mayo AZ I am not sure how often AZ will have the ball to let him tally his stats. That said he is a threat for 10+ tackles every week 20 Jon Beason NO Showed that he was back to form last week. NO did not run a lot though and the limited tackle opportunities could be an issue unless he chances Graham all over 21 Rolando McClain MIA 22 Wesley Woodyard ATL He was arguably one of the most impressive IDPers of week 1. He should have the chance to keep it up this week too 23 Stephen Tulloch SF 24 Nick Barnett KC 25 Clay Matthews CHI He looked unstoppable against SF and should own the shaky Bears OL that let up 2 sacks to Robert Mathis last week 26 DeMeco Ryans BAL 27 Kavell Conner MIN 28 Erin Henderson IND 29 Demarcus Ware SEA If Okung is out or is hobbled then Ware could see another 2 sack performance this week 30 Perry Riley STL 31 Lawrence Timmons NYJ 32 Von Miller ATL One of Miller or Dumervil will go off this week. Last week it was Miller. Is it him again this week? 33 Kelvin Sheppard KC 34 Lavonte David NYG 35 Stephen Nicholas DEN Last week's performance was not a fluke. He is a solid 3-down LB at the moment. Just bear in mind the Falcons played Nickel D on all but 11 snaps last week and will do so a lot less with Grimes done for the year now 36 Jo-Lonn Dunbar WAS 37 David Hawthorne CAR He came out of last week's game uninjured, but he also did not fill the stat sheet much either 38 Paris Lenon NE 39 A.J. Hawk CHI I want to put him around the top-25 but I need to see that he is not a one week wonder after he has disappointed me so much in the past 40 Thomas Howard CLE 41 Mason Foster NYG 42 K.J. Wright DAL 43 Brian Urlacher GB Urlacher was on a snap count last week and it hurt his numbers. Until that goes away, I cannot put him higher in good faith 44 Luke Kuechly NO 45 James Anderson NO Anderson and Kuechly came off the field more than I thought. Thomas Davis saw some significant snaps in the nickel D which would hurt both of their values 46 Akeem Ayers SD 47 Larry Foote NYJ 48 Jerrell Freeman MIN 49 Justin Durant SF He led all Detroit LBs in tackles last week and will face a SF offense that will run a lot and throw to Davis towards the strong side in this one. 50 Miles Burris MIA 51 Rey Maualuga CLE 52 David Harris PIT 53 Lance Briggs GB He failed to fill the stat sheet up despite playing most of the game against the Colts and with Urlacher out most of the game. Not a good sign 54 Brandon Spikes AZ 55 Mychal Kendricks BAL 56 Bobby Wagner DAL He had a surprisingly poor week one performance. Maybe it can be attributed to the Cardinals not running enough. Let's see how he does this week 57 DeAndre Levy SF 58 Kevin Burnett OAK 59 Akeem Dent DEN He tallied a disappointing zero last week, but was only on the field with the base package for 11 snaps. That should climb a little bit this week and he should get some chances to show what he is capable of 60 Michael Boley TB He played and logged an interception but Rivers started. Need to see him in the starting lineup before he climbs higher

The Blackpool manager Paul Ince received a five-match stadium ban for "violently shoving" a fourth official in an expletive-laden rant, according to evidence given at an FA hearing.
Ince last week learned he would not be allowed to enter any stadium Blackpool were playing in on a matchday for their next five contests for his actions following their 2-1 win over Bournemouth last month.
The Seasiders manager was sent to the stands after throwing a bottle which hit a female spectator and his irate reaction after the final whistle, which the FA found breached three rules, landed him in hot water.
On Thursday the FA disclosed the full extent of Ince's actions as it revealed he physically assaulted the fourth official Mark Pottage while using a series of expletives.
In the report, the referee Oliver Langford said: "At the end of the game as we left the field of play as a team of match officials we were confronted by a clearly very irate Mr Paul Ince.
"On confronting us Mr Ince asked why he had been sent to the stand. I explained to Mr Ince the reason why he had politely been asked to leave the technical area. It was then a clearly frustrated Mr Ince had said 'and where's your busy fucker of a fourth?'
"Mark Pottage, the fourth official, was stood behind Mr Ince at the time and said: 'I'm here.'
"Mr Ince then turned around and violently shoved Mr Pottage with two hands in to the chest. Stewards then quickly stepped in and tried to usher Mr Ince to the dressing room area.
"As this occurred Mr Ince, being restrained by stewards and players of Blackpool, was repeatedly shouting in an aggressive manner: 'I'll knock you fucking out you cunt,' to Mr Pottage."
In an examination during the hearing, Langford added that "Mr Ince's eyes were bulging" as he squared up to Pottage.
Giving his own evidence Ince, who denied using the word 'cunt' said: "As I turned around, Mr Pottage stepped forward and was 'fronting me up' in my face. I felt intimidated, so I instinctively pushed him away.
"The push was not aggressive; only enough to move him away from where I was, only in order to avoid a real possibility of a one-to-one confrontation. However, I know I should not have pushed him and I wholeheartedly apologise."
The FA, though, found all three breaches of the Rule E3 were proven and imposed a five-match stadium ban on Ince as a result.
Ince had told the Blackpool Gazzette on Wednesday that he thought the ban was "very, very harsh".

By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY
With Glee, absence hasn't just made the heart grow fonder; it has helped the show get better as well.
From its first episode, Glee was almost ridiculously entertaining. But the entertainment value was almost completely dependent upon its music, with the story too often being a wash or an actual hindrance. Loving hands have been at work during the hiatus, because it returns (in a special post-Idol time slot) with plots finally worthy of the songs that interrupt them.
PETA 'GLEE'-FUL: Lea Michele joins anti-fur campaign
Indeed, when the freshly single Will (Matthew Morrison) tells his "New Directions" glee club "It's time for a reinvention, a new New Directions," you get the feeling he's talking about the show. "Reinvention" might be too strong a term; this is still basically the same messy, wonderful, sometimes barely in control Glee we loved. But the first few episodes do feel like something of a restart, and one that puts the show on a better, smarter and more sustainable path.
Gone are the absurd, tasteless fake pregnancy plots that made main male characters Will and Finn (Cory Monteith) seem hopelessly stupid. The new stories aren't exactly grounded in reality; Glee isn't that kind of show. It's a musical, and it makes full (sometimes too full) effect of music's ability to convey heightened emotions. But they at least now have enough relation to reality to stop you from screaming at the TV in frustration.
Quickly and humorously, tonight's return establishes that Will's multiple victories in the fall finale were only temporary. His glee clubbers may have won the sectionals, but they're still losers to their high school peers. He may have finally kissed Emma (Jayma Mays), but one kiss couldn't cure her cleanliness obsessions.
And, best of all, while he temporarily sent Sue (Jane Lynch) packing, Sue is more than a one-scheme pony. She's found a way to return, as she had to; without Lynch running roughshod over Will and twisting the school to fit her Sue-centric vision, there's no conflict and much less fun.
There are still times when the show goes too far or gets too mean (tonight's scenes with an "Old Maids Club" being one of them). But the joy of Glee's best parts overcomes the problems of the whole. Tonight's various musical twists on "Hello"; next week's ode to Madonna; the third episode's multiple, touching versions of A House Is Not a Home; and the show's overall embrace of outsiders and the outlandish, are all moments when Glee shines. And thankfully, there are now fewer bad moments to detract from the glow.
For Glee lovers, that's enough to make the long wait worthwhile.

If you're wondering what's Ground Zero in the push for same-sex marriage, look no further than Hollywood, which relentlessly advances its values through propaganda embedded in ostensibly entertaining TV shows and movies. Children are an especially good target, and Disney is taking advantage of its access to children by pushing same-sex marriage in an upcoming episode of Good Luck Charlie, a show that runs on the Disney Channel.
(Read More: French Mayor Faces 5 Years Prison Time Since She Won't Endorse Gay Marriage.)
The show is about a traditional nuclear family — Dad, Mom, and four kids – but in a 2014 episode, the show will introduce a character who has "two moms." Newsbusters.org explains:
(Read More: Your Government At Work: Christian Florist Sued For Refusing Service To Gay Wedding.)
According to TV Guide, an episode of the family show will air a plot in which one of the four children has a playdate with a kid who has "two moms." TV Guide reports that "when the kid arrives, the Duncans learn that Charlie's pal has two moms." That's not an issue, however, in the show: the gay couple is "fine," apparently, and the real problem is that the dad is not entertaining enough for the gay couple, and so "the potential new friendship is put to the test as one mom chats with Amy and the other is stuck listening to Bob's dull stories."

In grey mouse lemurs from the dry deciduous forests in western Madagascar each female is receptive for a single night per year. For male mouse lemurs this is a stressful time. The main question in a research project conducted by Nina Schwensow and Simone Sommer of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin and their colleague Manfred Eberle from the Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen was: What will happen during this special night?
Up to fourteen males visit a single female and females copulate with up to seven different males at maximum. But who will become father?
The surprising answer: The selection of successful sperms must be influenced by internal body mechanisms after copulation. The female's mate choice was not driven by any preferences and the males could not enforce copulation due to the fact that both sexes are similar in size and body weight (60 gram).
"For a female, pregnancy and lactation is very costly", say Nina Schwensow and Simone Sommer, biologists from the IZW. "For females, the input of energy is far more effective when the offspring's constitution and health status is based on genetically superior immuno competence." Within the scientific community it is widely assumed that females choose males very carefully to maximise the offspring's probability of survival. Here the so called MHC-genes (major histocompatibility complex) are important. Genes of this group are important components of the body's immune system; they identify disease agents and activate immune reactions. There is good evidence that individuals recognise the MHC-constitution of conspecifics by odour. With this information females might select the most promising partner.
But this mechanism does not seem to be used by grey mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus), because copulation takes place without pre-selection of sexual mates. In their single receptive night of the year females do not seem to be choosy. The scientists did not find any differences by comparing accepted and refused sexual mates concerning the MHC-gene setting or any physical attributes.
But: Which of the male mouse lemurs finally became the offspring's father was clearly linked to immune genes. "The fathers definitively had more variable MHC-genes than the potential males, chosen in randomised simulations", Schwensow adds. "Furthermore, the father's MHC-genes were highly different form those of the mothers, which could lead to an optimum in immune competence for the offspring." The grey mouse lemur's mate choice is post-copulatory, driven by internal selection processes. For the first time, the hypothesis of so called cryptic post-copulatory mate choice could be proven for a wildlife primate population.
For scientists the reason for this form of mate choice is not clear. Presumably they are highly linked to the mating system, because the male mouse lemurs turn up superior in high numbers during the mating day. Project leader Simone Sommer says:" Presumably it is too costly for females to refuse several highly motivated males". Promiscuity in connection with post-copulatory selection seems to be the most practical way to optimise the genetic constitution of the offspring.
Detailed results were published recently in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

Which makes playing in my league so incredibly frustrating. And I heard it doesn't get better until late gold. And now you're here telling me it basically never gets better.
- - - Updated - - -
Furthermore, I've actually asked in those few reports I made that my MMR be lowered too, as I felt I was constantly being matched with players way above me (which was because I played with my friends who actually are gold/plat and yeah, we won, a lot, but I just got carried basically). This was pre-30. After that, I consistently met players as shit as myself, so I always believed it did SOMETHING.
..Yes, I reported myself for 'unskilled'. Lol.

I really enjoy her, she's fun and now that I remember Galio is a bitch to lane against as her, I had to do that and we were even but he was technically winning the lane because I had to sit at tower for the most part farming.
Hey everyone
Also queuing for ARAM (although a drastically different type of game) can let you experience a better side of the community because 3/4 of the people there don't give a ****. Personally I have met lets of people in ARAM that have friended me and we have queued for normals at later points. Then we can use online voice communication programs and have good communication and when you are playing with friends they can forgive your mistakes.
Also have a couple veterans that I know (both low gold) and they have been queuing with me and trying to help me become a better player. You just kinda have to grow a thick skin in some games though. We once queued with 4 people and our fifth was raging the whole game about how badly we all sucked and that we needed to learn to play and we made fun of his nerd rage the whole game. xD
I've got a winstreak of 6 in soloq. We finally got it back to silver 1 in 3v3 today, and today i've got a golden jaraxus in hearthstone. I think i need to buy a lotery ticket.

Lee gets away with it since he is often jungling and is able to make plays with his SS (Q Q W to a ward R enemy carry OP) but there is a reason that SS is not bought on Jax and Katarina

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Report_functionWhen players are reported for "Unskilled Player", no tribunal case is made, however if the player is reported for being unskilled consecutively, their Match-Making-Rating will slightly drop. This does not affect ranked matchmaking or players ranked Elo/MMR. This option is mainly used as a placebo for players that are acting negatively towards their teammates.

950gold. 475 for a Ruby Crystal. Leaves enough gold for 6 wards and change.
Why on earth would you waste another 475 gold on a sightstone when the remainder of the cash will take care of your sight issues for the next 10 minutes, which likely is all of the laning phase?
And you can even turn that Ruby Crystal into a Haunting Guise, which will give you some defense and damage.
Majad is all about that Portuguese Katarina meta.
Hey everyone
As a Katarina you rely on killing people and getting resets. I don't see a sightstone in the equation.
But hey, if it's your game style, go for it! (probably still better than AD Kata)
God dang its hard to find a semi casual team for ranked >_< Every damn team that seems good is already full
Liking this Katarina buff to her ultimate.
Hey everyone
I will buy a SS if i'm playing Shen top though, since i'm already playing the support tanking initiator type of role for my team, wards and extra health is also useful.
And moreever, your support in games isn't like your typical asian support buying nothing but sightstone and wards. usually they will only get 1 ruby ss, therefore my extra ss will help. However if i'm top, i won't upgrade the SS though.

AUSTIN, Texas — Chris Anderson's upcoming book Free will be free. Sort of.
In a keynote Q&A with former Mac marketer and venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki on the final day of the SXSW Interactive conference here, Wired magazine's editor-in-chief said that you'll be able to read his new book on the economics of giving things away without paying a dime. But, he said, publisher Hyperion asked him to not reveal the specific details of how that will work.
Kawasaki read audience questions from Twitter. One said: "I was hoping that this would be like the Oprah show and we get a free copy of Free under our seats."
Anderson replied: "On July 6, you will all have a free copy of Free under your … mouse button."
The "freeconomics" theory Anderson laid out in "Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business," his 2008 cover article in Wired, posits that in the internet era, giving goods away has moved from marketing gimmick to fundamental strategy that's changing the way the world does business. (Wired magazine is Wired.com's sister publication.)
"I will give you a hypothetical scenario by which a book could be free," he said Tuesday during the SXSWi panel. Describing sponsored paperbacks with company logos printed on the front that are distributed at conferences, or audio books distributed as MP3 downloads, Anderson pointed out that the marginal cost for some forms of distribution approaches zero — therefore, he said, the cost to the consumer should be zero.
With printed books, the cost is not zero. Anderson says that he would bank on some percentage of readers deciding to upgrade to the traditional printed book version.
"Paper still matters," he said. "If you believe that the physical book is the superior form, then you have to believe that people who love the sample will buy the physical book."
Converting users of a free version of a product to a paid version, says Anderson, is the key to making money on a free product. The sweet spot, he believes, is 5 percent.
Massively multiplayer online games for kids like Maple Story, Club Penguin and NeoPets have already started to "experiment with every possible way to charge," Anderson said. "If you can convert 5 percent of users to paid, you can cover your costs. Anything above that, and it becomes extremely popular."
Asian videogames like Maple Story are especially relevant, said Anderson, because "China is the future of free." An entire chapter in the book is devoted to China, and how the country's lack of intellectual property protection changes the way its music industry operates, for example.
"Pirates will pirate a CD, which creates celebrity, which you can use to create cash," Anderson said. Chinese pop stars make money not off music sales, he said, but from making personal appearances, starring in advertisements, etc.
One of the biggest advantages of "free" as a marketing tool, said Anderson, is the fact that the word has a double meaning in English.
"It's a bug in English," he said. "Free as in freedom, and free as in price." Whereas in other languages, the two words are distinct — libre vs. gratis — in English we "take all the good connotations of 'free' and use them to sell something."

Polli is an Australian-based ethical jewelry company (run by women!) which uses recycled materials like stainless steel, sustainable plantation pine, and 100% recycled card. Their peter pan collars are, as you can see, beyond gorgeous; I would wear them over a blouse, as an added decorative touch, or with a scoop neck blouse. They have lots of beautiful filigree-type necklaces too, with mini-scenes on them (this one of a boat on high seas). So sweet!

I just had TxSystems B-LIFTx Peel 2 days ago, and my face looks like it has been burnt with some very dark brown scabbing spots. Is this normal? Help!
Burns After TxSystems B-LIFTx Peel?
Doctor Answers 1
Salicylic acid is not a deep peel
This peel is excellent for acne, oily skin, and overall refreshing of the complexion. It is an epidermal level peel, so it is unusual to get the scabbing you describe. Be sure to use sunscreen every morning, stay out of the sun, and keep the skin moist. DO NOT PICK!!! I would recommend a quick check by your dermatologist to make sure all is well.

SUBMITTED: Monday, February 24, 2014POSTED: Monday, February 24, 2014
I had the exact same issue with this builder and would say if your looking at buying with them DO NOT BUY.
closeing costs were 9-14k for some neighbours. 4ft by 4ft decks were at a cost of 2500$. we had the same situation with regards to the grading deposit. House was bought in late 2008. moved in everything was ok. Sold the house 3 years later and the sub devision was still not assumed. City of Milton was telling me it was becasue Allegra was not doing the nessary things to get it to pass. fast forward to late 2013. I called the city again in October to be told the sub devison was assumed in June. Builder did not contact me to let me know this. When i called Patrica 416-781-4118 press 3 ( or sometimes when they change the main login i believe its 21 or 23) from October till enf od Feb of 2014 i got the run around. Waiting on the miney from the devloper, the accountant was only in every 2 weeks, hes been off sick for a month. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.
When we spoke is OCT of 2013 i told her i moved and no longer lived there, she said she made a note of this. Now the begining of Feb 2014 i got fed up, along with another neighbour we both said enough was enough and were in the mindset of getting in contact with the media. Both of us had called and let Patrica know this, as soon as this was brought up her tune changed and didnt want her name to be brought into it. Shortly after that statment was made she told both of us our checks were sent. We then waited a week with nothing showing up i called back, and guess where she told me she sent it(wrong address) I told her I would give her to the end of the week to get it out. Again that week ended with nothing. At that point i sent an email to someone at the TORONTOSTAR who was promotoing them as being this great honest compnay and again BLAH BLAH BLAH. I called back and gave them again one more day to get me my money thats been held from me. Two days later it finally showed up.
I would never buy a product from them again every, and like i said if your thinking about it you shouldnt either.
Very difucult to deal with, holds your money that your gave them as a depost, and only returns it when media was a threat. No intrest was giving to us from the 1100$ depsoit that they had for 5+ years.
I also would say anyone still waiting for their money back call and use the media threat and watch how fast they change their tune....
