Zoybar is an open R&D Lab for professional and hobbyist musicians to easily create, customize and fabricate their own (tangible) music instruments and applications.
Our innovation model considers every user as a potential unique developer creating a "Decentralized R&D Lab" that grows rapidly in different directions. One of the most popular and powerful feature of Zoybar is its collaborative nature as a social network for music instruments innovation.
The collective intelligence co-creates endless modifications along with new music instruments that would have never been produced by traditional innovation and business models.
How it works:
We manufacture and market fully produced modular hardware kits for those who are interested in experimenting with electric guitars physicality. As a modular platform our kits can be altered and customize by the end users themselves. Zoybar was one of the first commercial open hardware companies that released its production CAD files for non commercial use. By providing access to our production files and partnering with third party rapid production services, we have enabled our users to become active developers that communicate on unifying virtual and physical platforms.
Zoybar was founded (by the designer Ziv Bar Ilan) as an open platform that could be upgraded and improved by its users.
Home made mashup instruments have been growing rapidly under the radar for the last couple of years by 'professional amateurs'. Some of these creations can be seen at our video gallery. Until now duplicating hardware innovation was a fragmented process. You needed to start over every time. Zoybar is also a social network that supports the growing community of its users. Sharing ideas and creating in a co-creation environment brings a new era in the music instruments evolution.
Zoybar`s approach considers every user as a potential unique developer creating a "Decentralized R&D Lab" that grows rapidly in different directions. We believe that there will always be more smart people outside any company than within their restricted and limited conventional labs. This unique relationship between Zoybar and its users provide support and incentives for actual needs rather than dictating unwanted products.
As an independent developer you can use the Zoybar hardware platform to integrate your application and become relevant to the whole Zoybar community. You can submit your projects as a group administrator and interact with your own forum, members, and rich media content platform for free.
With Zoybar, you don't need to be a huge corporation to develop or promote your special effects application. We've done most of the heavy lifting, and your application can be easily attached to the Zoybar platform, just by adding and changing its position across the profile grooves with common bolts and screws.
We believe that only open decentralized approach can provide tools for the different needs and abilities of these scattered vast users. We provide physical and virtual platforms as creation tools for developing new music instruments. The end instruments are in the users hands, making each user a unique developer that can share ideas, solutions and even sell their own applications and instruments to other users of the community.
As part of the design and production process, the Zoybar Hardware is manufactured only by demand, with no over production and minimum waste. Our decentralized production process and the modular components system were designed to accommodate flexible productions scales with variety of solutions.
To learn more about our philosophy you are more than welcome to read our manifesto.
You are also welcome to check our FAQ page or visit our hardware store.
In any other question that you might have feel free to drop us a line.

Just wondering the pros and cons of totes vs barrels. Thanks
Just wondering the pros and cons of totes vs barrels. Thanks
Pros: Simplicity, less storage space required, far less inbound freight cost, less handling adds up to huge savings, no banging on or washing drums.
Cons: Need a forklift capable of handling 3,500 pounds, limited marketing opportunities, more difficult for the packer to liquefy, what if a bladder leaks?
I've used them, I love them and wish they were the industry norm but until they are it is far easier to market honey in drums than in totes. Filling honey drums has always been among my most hated chores. If you choose to fill a packer owned tote you are at the mercy of their pricing structure. Come up with a sure way to avoid overfilling them, it's pretty easy to just walk away, get distracted and forget you are filling one.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Thanks Jim, ever had wet honey go south in a tote? Is it as bad as I think it could be?
Friend tells me take time to stop and smell the roses I say "I do then I take 10 steps quicker to make up for lost time"
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Lucky for you, I rarely get below 18%. My marketing strategy is sell it before it ends up on the floor.
I got caught with 2 semi loads 19-19.5% honey last year. My packer took it right away and blended it off with real dry stuff coming in from else where. A good relationship with your buyer is important
My buyer does the same thing as far as blending, they welcome my wet honey. As far as a good relationship it's great for them they know I am in a hurry to move it. How are you guys doing up there? Looks like big year for me. After last year I could use it.

3. LunchMature
In the next hour I find that Leala (like me) has just turned thirteen. She's a chatterbox, but not one of those ones that just go on and on and on and don't let you get a word in, and get on your last nerve and you feel like yelling 'SHUT UP!'. No, Leala's friendly, she just always has a lot to say. Which I think is quite nice, coz it makes up for the little I have to say about anything. Seriously, I can't even string a sentence together when I'm on the phone, and when I'm talking to people face to face it isn't much better. And you'll never catch me starting a conversation.
I learn that Sarah doesn't really care about anything except herself, her hair, and her make-up. And she has way too much to say for herself.
"Are you two listening to me?" she snaps, interrupting my thoughts.
"What?" me and Leala ask at the same time, looking up from our game of Guess Who.
"I said it's lunchtime and if you don't stop playing that silly game then you'll be late" and then she flicks back her hair and sweeps out of the room.
"That girl had problems" I mutter.
"You think?" Leala raises an eyebrow. "She's right though, we don't want to be late or we wont get our table. The dining hall fills really quickly"
"The dining hall?"
"Canteen, sorry. It's a habit. Most people call it the dining hall because it's where we have all our meals, so I kinda picked it up"
"Oh, OK" that's gonna be hard to get used to. We walk to the 'dining hall', Leala chatting about which teachers to avoid, et cetera, the whole way. It's like a big buffet thingy, so I get some pasta and follow Leala to a table where Sarah and two boys are sitting.
"Aha! Damien, you owe me a fiver!" one of them exclaims happily.
"No. Way" the other one (who is apparently called Damien) says, then looks round at me. "You have got to be kidding me. He so asked someone what she looked like.There is no way on this earth he could've guessed that she has pink streaks"
"Hand it over"
"You know if you make a bet about someone, you don't make it obvious in front of their face" Leala grins as Damien hands a five pound note to boy number two. "These two idiots are Damien and Adam"
"Hey Damien and Adam. I'm Aislinn"
"Yes! Adam, you owe me a tenner" Damien grins.
"Hold on. How do you know her name means 'dream'?"
"My name means 'dream'" I smile.
"Oh, well that's crappy isn't it?"
"Think about it this way, he just gave you a fiver, so really you're only giving him a fiver because you're giving the fiver back with an extra fiver" I say.
"Wicked! We've got a nerd in the group now!" Adam grins.
"Hey, that's not very nice" Leala sticks up for me.
"Na, it's fine. I-"
"Of coarse it's OK. Maybe we should call her Nerdina" Sarah buts in.
"Ja Sarah, welche große Idee. Nerdina ist der vollkommene Name für mich. Vielleicht sollte ich Sie Weibchen-ina nennen, weil das Ihnen vollkommen anpassen würde" I say sweetly. God, I've only just got here and she's already pissing me off. Damien's eyebrows shoot up into his hairline.
"Yes. But I'm going to call you it anyway" Sarah says, evidently trying to pretend that she knows German, or even that I was speaking German.
"Uh, Sarah?" Damien hesitates before saying "I'm afraid Aislinn just called you a bitch" Leala and Adam both burst out laughing. Sarah scowls at me. Damien stays silent.

I think you need to specify a bit more in detail what you mean by "hold", but here is a rough way : - get VMWare Server and install it - create a virtual machine in it - install Java and Tomcat in that virtual machine - run Tomcat - then use VMWare to "pause" the virtual machine whenever you want Other than that, I don't think you can "hold" Tomcat per se.

Old Baldy (horse)
Old Baldy (ca. 1852 – December 16, 1882) was the horse ridden by Union Major General George G. Meade at the Battle of Gettysburg and in many other important battles of the American Civil War.
Early life and Civil War service
Baldy was born and raised on the western frontier and at the start of the Civil War was owned by Maj. Gen. David Hunter. His name during this period is unknown. It is said that he was wounded anywhere from five to 14 times during the war, starting at the First Battle of Bull Run, where he was struck in the nose by a piece of an artillery shell. Soon after, in September 1861, he was purchased from the government by Meade in Washington, D.C., for $150 and named Baldy because of his white face.
Despite Baldy's unusual, uncomfortable pace, Meade became quite devoted to him and rode him in all of his battles through 1862 and the spring of 1863. The horse was wounded in the right hind leg at the Second Battle of Bull Run, and at Antietam, he was wounded through the neck and left for dead on the field. At Gettysburg, on July 2, 1863, Baldy was hit by a bullet that passed through Meade's right trouser leg, entering his stomach. He staggered and refused to move forward, defying all of Meade's directions. Meade commented, "Baldy is done for this time. This is the first time he has refused to go forward under fire." Baldy was sent to the rear for recuperation. In 1864, having returned to duty for the Overland Campaign and the Siege of Petersburg, he was struck in the ribs by a shell at the Weldon Railroad and Meade decided that Old Baldy should be retired.
Retirement and death
Baldy was sent north to Philadelphia and then to the farm of Meade's staff quartermaster, Captain Sam Ringwalt, in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. He was later relocated to the Meadow Bank Farm, owned by a friend of the Meade family, where he remained for several years. He was moderately active in retirement and Meade was able to ride him in several memorial parades. His last parade was as the "riderless horse" in the funeral procession of his master, in November 1872. Baldy lived another 10 years. He was euthanized on December 16, 1882, at the age of 30, when he became too feeble to stand. On Christmas Day of that year, two Union Army veterans (Albert C. Johnston and H.W.B. Harvey) disinterred Baldy's remains and decapitated him, sending the head to a taxidermist.
Baldy's remains
Baldy's head was mounted on a plaque in a glass case and displayed by the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum and Library in Philadelphia. In 1979, his head was loaned to the Old Baldy Civil War Round Table, which paid for its restoration and placed it on exhibit in the Meade Room of the Civil War and Underground Railroad Museum of Philadelphia. The latter museum closed in August 2008, pending a relocation, and most of its artifacts were distributed to other museums, including the visitor center at Gettysburg National Military Park. Attorneys for the two museums reached an agreement under the auspices of the Philadelphia Orphans' Court in December 2009 to return Old Baldy to the GAR museum on Griscom Street by the summer of 2010.[1]

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

PushCakes: Push Pops and Cake -- Together at Last!
Want! Want! Want!
Attention, Valley bakeries: PushCakes, please.
Combining the fun of push-pop packaging with the sweet goodness of moist layers of cake and layers of buttercream (gggaaaahhhhh.....), PushCakes are fork-less fun that, according to CakeSpy, who reports:
"While the push pop mechanism doesn't change the taste of cake at all, it does make it fun to eat, and if you ate it in front of someone else, it would probably make them jealous."
Jealous? Cool. And while bakeries in Phoenix get to makin' cakes the PushCakes way (what, they're not ready yet -- dudes, c'mon!), you can find them here, available in flavors like Queen of Hearts (red velvet), German Chocolate, and Strawberry Cheesecake (CakeSpy's favorite.)
What say you, cake chorus? Have you had a PushCake? Would you buy one if they were available in the Valley? Or do they look super gross to you? Share it in the comments section.

Ever had a panic attack? OMG, then you know how scary it is.
Once was enough, right? But what if panic has become a recurring, unwelcome visitor in your life, brought on by "normal events" – taking airplanes or elevators, public speaking, driving, heights or closed spaces, or life in general? If you've tried popular anti-panic methods like square breathing, anti-anxiety meds, hypnosis, meditation, visualization – how'd they work out for you? Not so great?
Meet Barry McDonagh, BA, Dip Psych, creator of the best-selling anxiety treatment program Panic Away – featured on TV and radio across the US, and purchased by 70,000+ people worldwide. Barry was a panic attack sufferer. He found a way to conquer it – and shares it in his Panic Away program.
Recently, I placed myself in a situation I would have normally avoided – just to put Barry's method into practice. It worked for me. No meds, no funny business. Just a new way of approaching panic – welcome it, embrace it, time it, and send it packing. Tune in and hear how well it works.

Joe Jennings, ALMS correspondent
Starting grid set by points
A mixture of adverse weather conditions prevailed during American LeMans Series qualifications at Long Beach on Friday afternoon, forcing officials to cancel qualifying runs and to set the starting line-up for Saturday's two-hour race based on points. Although the outcome was unusual, it did take place on Friday the 13th, which may make it easier to understand.
Starting from the pole in the P1 class will be the Dyson Racing Lola B12/60 of Chris Dyson and Guy Smith, and they will be trailed by the Muscle Milk Pickett Racing HPD ARX-03a of Lucas Luhr and Klaus Grag. The third starter will be another Dyson entry of Eric Lux and Michael Marsal.
The P2 lineup will be led by the Level 5 Motorsports HPD ARX-03b of Scott Tucker and Christophe Bouchut. Following them will be the Black Swan Racing Lola B11/80 HPD of Timothy Pappas and Jeroen Bleekemolen with the Conquest Endurance Morgan team of Martin Plowman and David Heinemeier Hansson holding down the third starting position.
The BMW Team RLL team of Joey Hand and Dirk Muller will head-up the 12-car GT field. A pair of Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1s will start second and third with Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia in the first Corvette and Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner in the second entry.
Alex Popow and Ryan Dalziel will have their CORE Autosport Oreca FLM09 in the front of the PC group and next to them will be Butch Leitzinger and Rudy Junco in the PR1 Mathiasen Motorsport entry. Third in the PC class will be the second CORE entry of Colin Braun and Jonathan Bennett.
Heading the six-car GTC field will be the Alex Job Racing team of Leh Keen and Cooper MacNeil and then comes the Green Hornet Racing duo of Peter LeSafre and Damien Faulkner and the TRG team of Spencer Pumpelly and Emilio Di Guida.
Thirty-three cars will take the green flag at 7:30 p.m. ET, and it will be streamed live on ESPN3.com and telecast by ESPN2.

Worldwatch Institute | April 25, 2011
Finding ways to alleviate hunger and poverty while also protecting the environment depends on agricultural innovations that are found in fields, pastures, forests, markets, kitchens, backyards, city centers, radio waves, mountain areas, rivers, lakes, and rooftops all over the world.
Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet team traveled to 25 countries across Africa talking to farmers, policymakers, NGOs, educators, and others to learn about the many approaches that are working on the ground today. We've compiled this list to provide examples and highlights of just a few of the inspiring innovations that are helping to nourish both people and the planet.

QUEEN guitarist BRIAN MAY has been forced to put his life on hold so he can concentrate on his PhD in astronomy.The Bohemian Rhapsody rocker, 59, has recently resumed the degree - which he abandoned in the 1970s in favour of a music career - at London's prestigious university Imperial College. But May admits the studies are taking up more of his time than he ever anticipated. He says, "It has completely taken over my life. To do my thesis justice, everything has been put on hold, the intensity increasing in the past couple of months to the point where there's simply no time for being a dad, a husband or even a musician, which I have been for the past 35 years since I left my PhD papers in a big trunk at home. "If I get this title of PhD and it is by no means a foregone conclusion, I will feel without a trace of a doubt that I have earned it." http://www.contactmusic.com:80/news.nsf/article/may%20halts%20life%20for%20thesis_1030435

Trading plan for November 11
By Kira Iukhtenko
US Dollar extends the upside after a short-term pause on Monday. USD index returned to the Friday's post-NFP high of 99.40 on Tuesday. We remain bullish for the USD this week. Watch the FOMC members' comments on Thursday and the US October retail sales on Friday.
EUR/USD broke below the 1.0700 support and is actively declining. We target 1.0650 in the nearest future (trend support), small pullback from here could take place before a test of the 1.0500 target. Use all the rallies to go short. Divergence in expectations between the ECB and the Fed remains a strong bearish factor.
GBP/USD is a bit more stable on Tuesday due to the EUR/GBP decline. Cable has recovered above 1.5100 (early October lows) and stays calm ahead of the UK labor market data on Wednesday. Officials forecasts are upbeat, but the market reaction to any deviation could be very rude – remember the last week's volatility. Resistance at 1.5200 is expected to limit the upside. We stay bearish though and target 1.5000 this week.
AUD/USD bounced back from 0.7200 and is testing the 0.7020 support as we write. Watch the Chinese figures tonight. Any disappointment will pull the Aussie down to our bearish target at 0.6900.

Stephen "ESPO" Powers: Building ICY SIGNS
You can set up a sign shop with a sheet of plywood, two hinges and a length of two-by-four lumber. That's the easy part.

Miron Zowmir's "NYC RIP" published by Pogo Books
In 1980, Miron Zownir emigrated to the USA, where he lived for the next fifteen years; first in New York, then in Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh. In New York, back then arguably the world's most fascinating and permissive metropolis, Zownir's peculiar approach to cover the city's multiple-layered day-to-day lunacy was quickly recognised by the local scene as the TEUTONIC PHENOMENOGRAPHER (Village Voice).September 18, 2015

Black Arch Holsters' ACE-1 (Always Combat Effective) holsters provide the perfect combination of comfort and rapid deployment for concealed carry. That's because each of our holsters is precision molded for your specific gun and built by hand. The new ACE-1 Gen 2 holster includes our proprietary Comfort Curve: a unique feature developed over months of testing that provides superior comfort. This is achieved by molding the Kydex so that it creates a curve in the back of the holster. This curve allows the holster to fit the body more closely, increasing comfort and bringing the grip closer to the body for better concealment.
Other new features of the ACE-1 Gen 2 include user-adjustable retention for greater reliability, thicker Kydex for maximum durability, increased Kydex coverage for a more secure fit, higher density leather for improved wear, and a flared opening for easier holstering. While this second generation holster offers several design changes, it maintains all of the unique features that made the original ACE-1 a leading hybrid holster: durable Kevlar stitching, precision-formed Kydex, premium American leather, beveled edges, adjustable carry height and cant, sweat guard cut for a full grip, and availability for over 200 different handguns.

Where I stayed
After the tour, we dropped into a nice place for lunch near the pedestrian zone of the city. From there we went to the Hofburg Palace Treasury to see the Crown Jewels. Among the collection was the world's largest emerald, large collections of precious stones, and plenty of gold. The Treasury also houses numerous religious relics, including an actual piece of the cross used to crucify Jesus, as well as the nail that, presumably, was driven through his right hand
We had also been told that the Lippizan foals and mares were in Vienna for three weeks and attempted to see them but, unfortunately, they can only be seen from 11 a.m. until noon each day. Oh well.
We did a little shopping before heading back to the hotel to freshen up for dinner and our concert. For dinner we had planned to eat just outside the hotel, as we would be getting picked up by a taxi in front of the hotel to take us to the concert. We have been eating outside as much as possible on the trip, and tonight was no exception. We had a nice dinner just across from the hotel, with plenty of people-watching available.
Our evening entertainment was a concert of music by Mozart and Strauss, performed in the Golden Hall. We had a bit of an adventure getting there, as there are multiple Mozart concerts in Vienna each night and our taxi driver dropped us at the wrong venue. We went into a nearby hotel and they pointed us in the right direction. It was then about a 10-minute walk to get to our concert hall.
The concert itself was great. In addition to the beautiful music, the musicians were in period costume, and there were also a couple of opera singers involved in the show. There was a good crowd on hand and the music was great. I think fun was had by all! After the show, we returned to the hotel, walked across the street and enjoyed a nightcap before calling it a day.
It was a long day today, but very enjoyable. We are all looking forward to traveling to Bled, Slovenia tomorrow...

Brandon Morris's arrest a crushing blow to UGA's basketball momentum
In case you missed it, Brandon Morris was arrested over the weekend on a felony marijuana charge. Coach Mark Fox declined to comment on the situation, and Morris will face disciplinary actions from UGA's Athletic Association Comprehensive Action committee, most likely sooner rather than later.
The best case scenario for Morris and the UGA basketball program is that this is the young man's first marijuana offense, potentially resulting in a suspension of 10% of next season's competition, or roughly 3 games. The first game listed on the schedule – which is still a work in progress – for next year is Georgia Tech on November 14th in Atlanta. The Dawgs played without Morris last season against the Jackets in Athens in a game that Georgia dropped 80-71, marking the team's third straight loss to Tech.
The fact that Morris missed the first three games of last season, which equals exactly 10% of the 30 games that the team played, makes me somewhat suspicious that his transgression last year was marijuana-related as well. If that turns out to be the case, then Morris will be suspended for 30% of next season's schedule, or about 9 games. I call this possible outcome the "second-best but still not so great" scenario.
Missing 9 games would force Georgia to begin the season without one of its starters from a year ago, meaning that the Dawgs would take on the Jackets, the preseason NIT and potentially both Colorado and Seton Hall, all without Morris's services.
Georgia basketball enjoyed a major turnaround last year, winning 20 games and finishing 12-6 in the Southeastern Conference, and Brandon Morris was a big part of the team's success. His height and length make him a tough defender, and he has a knack for slashing and getting the ball to the rim. Morris was the third-leading scorer for Coach Fox last season at 8.6 points per game, doubling his offensive production from his freshman campaign.
Losing Morris for nearly a third of the season would be a major blow to this team's NCAA tournament aspirations, which were dampened this past season by a weak RPI (76) that was weighed down by some early season losses to Tech, Davidson and Temple. If Mark Fox's team hopes to dance in 2015, they must avoid the out of conference letdowns that plagued them a year ago.
Of course another possible outcome for the Morris is that he is kicked off the team, leaving UGA with his shoes to fill for the entire season.
Right now, everything regarding Brandon's situation is pure speculation, and until a judgment comes out from the aforementioned committee Morris's fate will remain up in the air. One thing is certain though, and that is that he will miss some games next year, meaning that Fox will have a shallower bench at his disposal.
Without Morris, Georgia could look to Cameron Forte, who showed flashes of scoring ability in his first year in Athens. However, Forte's defense was a major liability that kept him off the court for significant chunks of time last season, and if he cannot guard better this year Fox will have to get creative with his lineup by playing a smaller group that includes J.J. Frazier, Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann.
The Dawgs will definitely be dealing with some sort of setback from this incident when they kick off next year, but hopefully it won't be enough to change the outcome of the season.
6 Responses
…and he's gone. First we lose an NIT home match, then we lose our #3. Sigh.
Forte and Maten (maybe little later) are going to have to do the job. This is clearly a bad loss as I thought Brandon might just break out next season. We may still be ok however if we get some solid senior leadership from Neme and Marcus. And who knows, maybe Geno will rise to the occasion. But there is no way around it–it is hard to spin this as anything but a big negative.
I respect the hope about Neme, and Lord knows I'm a huge Neme fan, but he's regressed each year. He'll have that one or two games that gives us hope, then he'll go 1 for 10 from three point range and foul out while getting ram hammered underneath by someone two inches smaller.
Greetings from Idaho! I'm bored to death at work so I decided to check
out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the info you present here and can't wait to take a look when I get home.

Larval morphology and host use confirms ecotypic variation in Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg)

Despite their recognized importance in the literature, the contribution of native-range species interactions to invasion success has been inadequately studied. Previous authors have suggested that biases in the sampling of propagules from the native range might influence invasion success, but most contemporary invasion hypotheses focus on the development of novel interactions or a release from native consumers and competitors. When ecotypic variation exists in native host-consumer associations, the specific pattern of sampling across ecotypes could determine invasion success, especially when the genetic diversity among exotic propagules is low. The South American cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg), is an oligophagous consumer whose larvae feed on prickly pear cacti (subfamily Opuntioideae). The moth was collected from a small geographic area along the Argentina-Uruguay border in 1925 and was introduced to multiple continents as a biological control species, which has subsequently invaded North America. Here we show that groups defined by genetic structure in this species' native range are concordant with distinct patterns of host association and larval morphology. Furthermore, in Florida populations, morphological traits have diverged from those found in the native range, and patterns of host association suggest that strong biases in host preference also occur in invasive populations. The documented history of C. cactorum introductions confirms that multiple attempts were made to export the moth, but that only a single ecotype was exported successfully. Additional work will be necessary to determine whether the observed host biases in North America reflect a rapid adaptation to naïve hosts or a conservation of traits related to specific aspects of the host-consumer association.

The Haunted Dolls of eBay
Everyone's been there: you're on a first date, it's going well, you head back to their place… only to find that their bedroom is packed to the rafters with porcelain-headed, dead-eyed, spiritually-ruined haunted dolls. It's a boring old story. But, while fleeing in terror, have you ever asked yourself where those dolls come from?
Of course some people inherited their bewitched figurines from the late grandmother who now lives inside a Hummel, but many have to assemble their collections from scratch. On eBay!
At any given time, dozens of supposedly haunted dolls are available for purchase on eBay. As Vice UK recently pointed out, these spooky little rascals can go for thousands of dollars. But luckily for everyday possessed Raggedy Ann lovers like me and definitely you, many are available at much more reasonable price point. But price isn't the only issue.
How do you know you're purchasing an undead spirit trapped in porcelain, and not just a regular old creepy doll? Well, you can't. Sellers often include lists of unusual phenomena that surround the doll (cold spots, audio hallucinations, communication via dreams, and spectral orbs in photographs) or long, detailed stories about a cursed object's origins, but this evidence is unverifiable by men of faith or science.
Luckily, eBay user terethel published "A Guide to Buying Haunted Items" in 2008. Terethel guides users through the questions they should ask of themselves when considering such an acquisition. Questions such as "if you came to possess [an item that had power over the world around you], would you... distribute it to a complete stranger, or would you keep it for yourself, in your family?" and "Is the seller taking advantage of an ethnic slur to sell something fake?" and, implicitly, "Can I fake spectral orbs on this photo toilet paper?" (Answer: yes.)
For more insight into the world of haunted dolls, we turned to Justin McElroy. Justin is one of the three brothers who host the My Brother, My Brother and Me podcast, and the creator of their segment "Haunted Doll Watch." Justin reports on his online finds, much to his brothers' dismay. As one of the preeminent internet experts on watching haunted dolls for a podcast he hosts with his brothers, we asked Justin to illuminate these special auction items for us further.
How did you become interested in haunted dolls?
My wife actually stumbled across them on eBay and thought it might make a funny podcast bit. I immediately stole the idea from her and started accepting full credit for the discovery.
What would you say might be the appeal of haunted dolls for people who buy them? What is the appeal of haunted dolls for you?
We were all captivated by Teddy Ruxpin in the 80s, right? Imagine it: A magical teddy bear who could read bedtime stories and keep you company. Except one day we lifted up the flap behind his shirt and discovered the terrible truth: It was a tape the WHOLE TIME. Haunted doll obsession is just an extension of that initial disappointment.
Have you bought a haunted doll from eBay? If yes, where do you keep it? If no, where would you keep it? If you would never, why not?
Hell no, I've never bought one. They are HAUNT-ED. That means they have ghosts that live inside them. What if the ghost inside got out, do you know how to catch one, besides throwing dolls at them? I sure don't. The Ghostbusters aren't real. It's one of the great tragedies of human existence: Ghosts are real, Ghostbusters are not.
Do you have a favorite haunted doll from eBay?
That would be like asking me to pick my favorite child. … Or more specifically, my favorite dead child that now lives in a doll.
Do you think dolls are more haunt-able than other household objects? And if so, is it because they look like us? (And if it is, then why are there not more haunted statues? Or haunted action figures? Or haunted life-sized cut-outs? And if not, then what is up with all these haunted dolls? Does having a doll nearby ensure that your spirit won't make it to the next realm? That would be a real blow to the American Girl people. I digress.)
Ghosts live in everything, from computer monitors to mid-size sedan cupholders, ghosts can fit anywhere. Dolls just get a lot more press thanks to movies like Child's Play and Annabelle, but everything has ghosts in it. The Brave Little Toaster? Remember that flick? Haunted toaster. It's just not as sexy as dolls.
If you were going to haunt an inanimate object, what would it be? If your answer is "a doll," what would you like that doll to look like?
I am never going to die.
Do you think ghosts get to choose the doll that encases their eternal spirit or is it like, you know, whatever's closest?
That's a classic ghost mistake, I tell ghosts all the time, don't just haunt the first desk lamp you see, you've got to haunt around until you find the vessel that's right for you! I wrote a book about this topic, Ghosts Are From Mars, Desk Lamps Are From Venus, it's worth reading.
What's the most you think someone should pay for a haunted doll they found on the internet?
Maybe you can assign a numerical value to the delight of having a dead kid's soul living in a crusty doll that smells like spaghetti cooked in a 100-year-old washing machine, but I certainly can't.
Finally, do you think haunted dolls can scare each other?
If you get two haunted dolls next to each other, if you think they're doing ANYTHING other than plotting how to kill you, you're living in a fool's paradise.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Series Iron Whey Vanilla 5 lb
Proteins are essential, one of the human body's most important nutrients. As athletes exercise, their bodies require extra amino acids and protein—much more than people who are inactive. Therefore, athletes need to supplement with dietary protein.Arnold Schwarzenegger Series Iron Whey is a high-quality formula that delivers large amounts of naturally occurring amino acids the body needs daily. Regardless of age or physical activity level, whey protein is essential for every nutrition regimen because it is the body's catalyst for muscle growth and protein synthesis. Trade up to a more pure, more superior protein supplement that will help fuel your workout performance while also maximizing recovery time.
Directions for use:
As a dietary supplement, mix one to two servings (1 to 2 scoops) of Iron Whey with 8-12 fl. oz. of cold water. Vary the amount of water to achieve your desired consistency and taste. Consume 1-3 times a day. Iron Whey can be taken immediately before and/or after your workout. To increase your protein intake per serving and achieve a delicious milkshake taste, use skim or low fat milk instead of water.

Jackson reforms implemented — but much ambiguity remains, says Hogan Lovells - .PDF file.
The 'Jackson reforms' on civil costs and funding will become law on 1 April 2013, but much ambiguity remains around a number of key issues, according to Hogan Lovells. The Jackson regime marks the most important overhaul of civil litigation procedure since the Civil Procedure Rules were introduced in 1999. The main changes to the rules are to case management, cost management and Part 36 offers, and will have a significant impact on litigators, the judiciary and court users.
Nick Atkins, partner at Hogan Lovells, commented:
"The reforms have been widely and hotly debated and changes were still being made only this week. They could have a significant and positive impact if applied correctly – cost estimates can be difficult to provide at the early stages of litigation and the reforms should go some way to helping with this process.
"Unfortunately the way in which the reforms arrived on the statute books has been highly unsatisfactory. Not only were the new rules and practice directions introduced at the very last minute, in piecemeal fashion, with virtually no warning or consultation, but more alarmingly, it was obvious immediately that many contained mistakes, lacunae and ambiguities…"

Cycling Body Appeals Spanish Court Ruling to Destroy Blood Bags
Cycling's governing body will appeal the decision by a Spanish judge to destroy 200 blood bags belonging to cyclists and other athletes after an anti-doping trial.
The ruling by Judge Patricia Santamaria came after a trial of Eufemiano Fuentes, a sports doctor who gave transfusions to Tour de France riders to boost their performance. The bags were found in his possession, and the World Anti-Doping Agency was among groups looking to identify the athletes involved in so-called blood-doping, which is banned in sports. The Union Cycliste Internationale, known as UCI, said it will appeal.
"The UCI can confirm that it will appeal the decision of the Madrid court of April 29 not to release to the UCI and other anti-doping organizations the more than 200 bags of blood and other evidence gathered in police raids in 2006, which were presented in the trial of Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes," the governing body said today in an e-mail.
The UCI and WADA wanted to take disciplinary proceedings against athletes who haven't faced sanctions as a result of a 2006 investigation in Madrid called "Operacion Puerto," or Operation Mountain Pass. As few as a dozen of the 58 cyclists that police linked to the doping ring, and no one from other sports, have received bans.

Great Day For A Hike
"In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks."
— John Muir
It is going to be a beautiful day for a hike. The sun is shining and the weatherman says it is supposed to be warmer. The temperature reached 32 last night. It was a bit chilly. Yesterdays high was 48. I hope everyone gets a chance to get outdoors today and enjoy spring at its finest.

What great words from Muir. Yes, I did manage to get up Brushy Mountain today. Couldn't have been more perfect hiking weather. What part of the lodge is visible from over on Brushy? I thought I was seeing a roof or something up at the lodge today.

In the wilderness of the Sahara where not a single flower was able to bloom, a woman, majestic in her every aspect of existence, sat. Sand beneath her bum and the cold breeze of night on her face, she sat smiling. A nice smile. A smile resembling angels, her entire being resembled angels. As she sat and smiled and the breeze flowed through her, little pieces of her hair began to fly up towards the night sky. Purple strands of hair, the moonlight making them look like firefly's from a fairy tale. Purple flies, floating in the air, only fading when a cloud made its way past the moon. Her hair easily reached the bum she sat so comfortably with, making it easier for the flies to make love to the moonlight. Like a scene from a movie she thought, still smiling, still looking like an angel.
She knew the desert, she'd been here before. Same story, same moonlight, same dress. Same dress she thought. The dress made for a wedding, red with a rose the shade of her hair in the breast. Lace down the back, if tied any tighter her ribs would've been piercing her heart. She looked perfect. No she was perfect. She loved how the dress reached the middle of her perfect thighs, not perfect in her eyes of course, they never are. She knew of her perfection but the thighs of her own never met her standards.
She still sat smiling, breeze still flowing through every ounce of her being. She loved it. Sand couldn't have felt better in her toes and the lack of noise was deafening in itself. Not the bad sort of deafening, the sort you need when you're at a restaurant or some sort of situation you really don't want to be in. Swaying now, her body, her brilliant body. More curves than a circle and a complexion that made people question their very ability to see. She swayed. No noise, sand, her dress and herself. She was in a bubble of time she didn't want to be popped. A glass of wine now. In her left hand, the glass shining discretely with the assistance of the purple fireflies. The pool inside the glass was the shade of blood; probably as thick as blood too she chuckled. She took a sip, divine. The lake bid farewell to Chery lips yet again and she lowered her arm.
This is heaven. Now I just need to...
Before she could finish her thought a hand shook her shoulder. Not the shoulder that looked so perfect in that dress but a shoulder that was sitting comfortably in between a mattress and a duvet.
"C'mon" a familiar voice echoed in her mind.
Opening her eyes in disgust of the woman who'd forced them open, she groaned.
"Any need?" she couldn't believe the words formed in her mouth, the objects in the room weren't even identifiable to her through the sleep in her eyes so how she could make words was a mystery.
"The same need as always" the voice was harsh, not a "you're a bitch harsh" but the kind of harsh you expected from a 30 a day smoker. After the words had rung in the ears of the woman not so long awakened, she left, leaving a poor soul to fight the temptation of going back to bed. As she fought the same battle she did ever morning, the woman whose name was Lilly gave in. She gave in to the same force she did every morning, the force known as responsibility. She dragged herself up from beneath the satin sheets and headed for the shower.
She turned the nozzle, silver and oblique. As it made a churning sound the water rose from the pipes and out of the carousel of tiny holes above. She stepped in, holding the railing on the side of the white tiled wall, careful not to fall. Her hair bouncing on her buttocks even when she hadn't washed it. Raising her hands to her scalp, she tied the hair into a knot before sighing and reaching for the shampoo...
As the dreary task of washing an obscene amount of hair was over, she emerged from the shower victorious. Purple hair in a towel the same shade, a blue towel wrapped around her body, the breasts owned by the women of perfection peeking out from above. She sang gleefully, hopping, jumping and just about everything she could do to express happiness, she whipped the towel from her head and dried her hair. She wasn't happy and she knew that but the illusion of happiness worked just as well. After drying her hair and slipping into her usual black bra, white see through top and a black pair of skinnies, she left the apartment and headed for work.
Cracked cobblestone, a nippy breeze and the ego the size of a queens chandelier, she knew how to strut her stuff down the icy streets of York. As big as her ego was, she felt no need to shove it in the face of others. Her ass sat in her pants like a cougher in her leather and her hair, as soft as fox fur and the length of her ego, bounced like a pedophile on a bouncy castle. She had no reason to shove her beauty in people's faces, it just happened and she loved it. Her cheeks wiggling and her face showing true beauty and superiority without even trying, she made her way to work.
"Hey Paul" She'd just got into work and thought best, as she always did, to say hi to her boss.
"You alright Lilly, looking mighty fine today if I may say so myself"
"You'd say it anyway" she smirked and winked at him, closing the door behind herself and returning to the cubicle she worked from.
She despised him, Paul. 5ft, chubby and more grease on his skin than a deep fat fryer. He was mild today, some days he'd comment "on how lush her tits were" or "when she's going to open her legs for him". Vulgar man.
She hated him, loathed him. But she knew he had the potential to be a nice guy. She'd listened in on his phone calls when his dad had passed away, he'd console his sister like a mother would her child and although he was taking personal calls at work he never took a day off to mourn him. She still loathed him though, his very being, but this wasn't enough. Not enough for her to act on it.
The telephone rang and the screen lit up telling her which company she was to be, "hello, timber and co. How may we help you?"
She was a secretary for multiple companies, the screen would light up with the name the business or firm, she'd answer as them and appointments or inquires would be fed back to the client who'd hired her service. Easy. She loved her job. Her boss was infatuated with her so only gave her 3 clients whilst the others working in the building had a minimum of 5. Just one of the many perks she gained by saying hi every morning and looking drop dead gorgeous without any effort on her part. Most of her day would be playing solitaire or twiddling with her hair, rearranging pencils on her desk or in the most serious of cases, cleaning it.
She was bored, not bored enough to clean but bored enough to contemplate it. Clock ticking and people muttering she twiddled her thumbs, counting the minutes till she could go and ask her boss if he wanted any lunch and then go get some for herself. The clock struck 12.45, calmly she arose from her comfy chair with wheels, (the rest of the workers didn't have comfy chairs) and left behind the desk which has neatly decorated in different coloured pencils, all ranging from pink to blue to brown. Knocking on her bosses' door he shook his head and strutted off to her lunch, wasn't much of a break even in her eyes.
Cheese, pickles, tuna and mustard. The same she ate every day. Not quite understanding how it worked, she bit into the baguette and flicked through the girly magazine that lay in direct attack of crumbs falling through the air. She bushed them away and turned the page whilst thinking to herself, I do that more than necessary what's going to happen if I don't flick them?
As the pickles and tuna crawled into her stomach and more crumbs flew through the air, she noticed a man.
6ft 2, black hair brown eyes and the eeriness of a 1970's horror.
She always noticed him. Eating alone, the same time she did. She never thought of the possibility that he might be stalking her, instead she felt sorry for him. Whilst she was always alone she felt like she still gave a happy vibe. A vibe of confidence and superiority, not aided by her conscience but just by "being", his eerie vibe reeked of loneliness and self-pity. She took some comfort in that. You're so full of yourself bitch, and you love it. She was full of herself, and boy did she know it. Comparing herself to someone she felt sorry for and still taking some pride in herself that she was better than him, this was the mind of Lilly and she loved the mind of Lilly. Slightly smirking and arguing with her own thoughts, she finished off the weird baguette she loved so much and continued to flick through her magazine. Wasting time was the key here after all...
Shoes, shoes, perfume, shoes, topless man, shoes, topless man in shoes... A few pages later and shed finished her magazine, one final sigh and she left the cute little café and headed back to "work".
Popping her head into her boss's office for the penultimate time that day she said her greeting, got violated by his eyes and headed for her cubicle. Pencils still sitting happily she dawdled and dawdled until it was 17.30 and she could go home. A final meeting with her pervy boss and she strutted out the building.
It was raining now, like a film. The ambiance of the city and the raindrops intertwined as perfect as Adam and Eve and she smiled. Not the usual smile that showed she owned herself but a genuine smile indicating she was fond of this "pitter patter" that flew into her eardrums. As she strutted her stuff, as she always did, and headed down the dimly lit street. A man followed her, not an unfamiliar man but a man she felt sorry for. Although she was smart and beautiful, the thought of having a stalker had never crossed her mind. Unlucky for her, the thought she failed to have might've aided her, for the man following her had no pure intentions. Not intending to rape or physically hurt her, he intended to send her on an endless loop of misery and bad decisions. She'd never guess his reason for begrudging her but he hated her. The pity she felt for him didn't even equal to a fraction of how far he was willing to go to make her life hell. Of course, he planned on doing it from the shadows; if it was possible he always lived in the shadows. Heels clacking on the cobblestone she arrived home and removed the fob from her bag, lipstick and other invaluable belongings clattered as she did so and she let out another one of her sighs as the fob failed to open the gate leading to her apartment.
Finally it buzzed and the gate opened, failing to close it behind her she swiped her fob again at the door and entered the building where the bottle of red wine awaited. The bottle of red wine she drunk every night, on that beach in that dress, with no noise. Climbing the stairs and reach room 2 pushed the key into the door opening it up before slamming it behind her. She chucked her bag down, took her clothes off and sunk into the satin sheets, where she'd lay until forced to repeat the boring day tomorrow...
