- 2. Frank Riggs for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction
Yes, I'm supporting Frank Riggs for Arizona's next Superintendent of Public Instruction, and I'm downright enthusiastic about it. Why? Without a doubt, he's the most qualified. Also, he puts Students first, not the institution of public education. He respects and welcomes dialogue with Parents, not paid, self-interested lobbyists. He is a proven education leader for school choice, local control, and quality education. He believes that quality education means focusing on classroom teaching and learning, and on recruiting and retaining the very best teachers for Arizona's kids. He has promised to advocate and work tirelessly for a high-quality education to help every child reach their full potential, regardless of where they live or their socio-economic circumstances. He also intends to make the Arizona Department of Education fully transparent, responsive, and accountable to parents, educators and taxpayers.
Please take a look at his website, and you'll see that not only does he "say" all the right things, but he has also "done" all the right things.
Frank Riggs has earned the endorsements of leaders and parents who want the education of Arizona's children to be the First Priority! See below for some of their statements about Frank Riggs, and then read his record of leadership, and you'll know why these dedicated people are fighting for Frank Riggs as Arizona's next Superintendent of Public Instruction:
Jared Taylor has stated this about Frank Riggs: "Frank Riggs is the most qualified candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona's history." Not only is Mr. Taylor an anti-Common Core constitutional conservative serving as a Member of the State Board of Education and Gilbert Town Councilman, he is also the business manager for Heritage Academy. One of the missions of this charter school is to ensure that its students learn about the lives, beliefs, and accomplishments of the heroes of America – our founding fathers and mothers – and to better understand the values and principles which governed their lives and upon which they built the American nation.
Mr. Taylor is a leader of the Mommy Lobby, with whom I have been privileged to work for the last 6 years, focusing on defeating The Common Core Machine in Arizona.Click here to read more

- 4. Legislation Co-Authored by Frank Riggs might help to Overturn Onerous Education Regulations
Did you know that the new Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has cited a piece of legislation co-authored by Frank Riggs, as the reason that recently enacted federal education regulations under the "Every Student Succeeds Act" could be nullified?

- 5. Why are Comments from Achieve, Inc. all over Arizona's Redline version of the ELA and Math Standards?
Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas, whose campaign promise was to "eliminate the Common Core standards," issued a Dec. 19, 2016 Press Release to the public stating, "These new standards represent the final step in the repeal and replacement of Common Core in Arizona and they reflect the thoughts and recommendations of thousands of Arizona citizens."
Nowhere does she mention the role that Achieve, Inc. played in reviewing and commenting on Arizona's "Redline" versions of the English/Language Arts (ELA) standards, the K-5 Math Standards, and the 6-8 and High School Math Standards. You will find literally hundreds of comments from this organization, more than from anyone else.Click here to read more
- 6. State Board of Education Ignores Governor, Parents, and Own Policy; Rubber Stamps Common Core for Another 7 Years
Members of the State Board of Education's Arizona Standards Development Committee (ASDC) speak out.
"Preempting the Arizona Standards Development Committee (ASDC) that was about to conclude 18 months of work, on December 19 the State Board of Education (SBE) voted to impose Common Core standards on all Arizona schools---likely at a tremendous cost to the state's recent education gains!
In 2010, the SBE adopted "Common Core" for Arizona schools. Parents and teachers soon started having difficulty learning and teaching them.
Like many government mandates, Common Core benefited those who place profits above our children's future. Children who loved math started to hate math. Children who loved writing started to hate writing. Parents recognized a problem. Sometimes, parents with engineering and math degrees couldn't help their children with basic arithmetic.Click here to read more

This was written by Dave Chaffey on Smart Insights. There are some good suggestions along with an infographic with findings from a six-month study that is ongoing from The Social Media Benchmark Marketing.
This is a major, ongoing initiative from The Chartered Institute of Marketing which is supported by Ipsos ASI and Bloomberg. You can see from the names behind this research is not just, a poll, instead it's a major research program.
This research project is exploring how marketers are adapting to, investing in and getting value from social media. There are some very big names attached to it, such as Bloomberg and others and it's a very serious look at social media and its impact on marketers as it continues to evolve.
The findings are interesting and tell us that although there are still challenges, resistance to change, doubts about making the overall investment in time, resources, things are changing.
The author takes a look at:
**What tactics are being used
**How social media is being managed
**What returns are being achieved
My commentary:
**Increase in social media usage from 2011-2012 - A good percentage say they're experimenting and haven't found it that effective yet, but it's still early
**Businesses have to know that social media, like anything else
**process, lack of understanding of what is required - they need to be educated and think differently about how to build a loyal customer base
**Once there's an understanding, changing your infrastructure with the skill sets required to execute effectively is key
In spite of it all, companies are starting to see the features and benefits of using social media in their marketing strategy, we're still early in the game but things are evolving at a rapid pace.

Fairly difficult.
The 340/360 swap can be done in a 63-66 with some mods to the driver's side motor mount or a Schumacher kit, but you're into custom territory with the 60-62.
I would look into swapping in a '63-'66 V8 K-frame, and then modifying the driver's side motor mount as you would with a 340 or 360 into a '63-66. Exhaust will be an issue as well, as I don't know of anyone making headers for your specific application- maybe the later headers will work. Manifolds from a '72-74 would be your best bet if you aren't using a highly modified 360. The trans crossmember will have to be custom built. Use a V8 Valiant steering center link.
Obviously, the stock transmission won't work- use a 904/998/999 from a LA motor. Linkages will have to be fabricated for the shifter. (Don't get me started on the pushbutton shifter-if you want to keep it, either look for a used V8 cable shift tranny, and live with the ball and trunnion driveshaft, or contact
Imperial Services
and see if they can help you out.)
Under no circumstance should EVER consider keeping the stock (7 1/4?) rear end- an A-body 8 3/4 is a MUST for this swap. (You can use a later and cheaper 8 1/4, but you will then need to upgrade the front bolt pattern to match the larger 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern the 8 1/4 will have) You also will need to upgrade the front brakes to something bigger than the tiny drums that thing has stock. You need a true dual circuit tandem brake system with a late model master cylinder.
A new driveshaft, much larger radiator, different throttle cable, and issues with clearance for the heater box will also need to be addressed.
I'm not saying it can't or hasn't been done, but it's no cakewalk. If you decide to do it, post up pix- I have a '64 Polara that I'm swapping a 440 into. (yeah, I'm keeping the pushbutton shifter in it)

Re: Re: Gallup and enthusiasm
posted at 11:13 pm on October 30, 2012 by Guy Benson
Ed and AP, you don't even have to go back to polls from three weeks ago to find data that supports the intensity gap theory. I noted one of the big take-aways from today's final NPR poll over at Townhall earlier (it was item #2 in a longer list):
(2)Enthusiasm – Republicans are more likely than Democrats to rate this election as a "9" or "10" in terms of importance, suggesting an intensity gap. Republicans outpace Democrats on the "10" scale by ten points (76/66). Eighty percent of GOP voters responded with either a 9 or 10, while 72 percent of Democrats did the same.
This poll was D+4, yet had Romney ahead by a point. If Republican turnout is robust and independents side with Romney by a healthy margin (in the NPR poll, it was 12 points), it will take a monumental turnout from Democrats for Obama to win…the popular vote, at least. If the electorate is closer to D+0 — and evidence suggests it very well might be — Obama's climb may be steeper.

|Over 1,000 7th Graders Head to Adventureland On Tuesday For Technology Day
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NEW YORK, October 12, 2007 — Approximately 1,300 seventh-grade students from 35 Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre will be participating in Technology Day at Adventureland amusement park in Farmingdale.
From 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., students will have a chance to explore each of the rides and get first hand knowledge of how they work. Each student will have a series of worksheets covering various topics and concepts including gears, pulleys, RPMs, and safety features. Teachers will work with students on various activities that will enable students to use mathematical reasoning and critical thinking skills to come up with solutions for each activity.
In 1994, New York State published the MST (Math, Science and Technology) Standards for elementary, intermediate and commencement levels of education. Students are asked to view technology as an application of life, not just in the form of computers alone. Engineering design is one of the seven key ideas of the Technology Standards and will be the focus of the student's experiences at Adventureland. Adventureland is located at 2245 Route 110 in Farmingdale.

Published 0-100 MPH times on a Nissan GT-R are between 7.9 and 8.5 seconds.
I'd say that's pretty impressive. to APR.

That is a great achievement... but we still don't get those results here in the States being a manual car. hahahaha

Never enough power!!!!
what are your thoughts about suspension versus engine mods.. which would u do first..
APR coilovers and sway bars i think would reduce body roll and quicker launches.. would u do that after flashing the ECU? OR would u go ahead and get the fuel pump and the intake and exhaust...
see you in Auburn
Awesome time there.
I haven't run v-max on my car yet with my remapped dsg launching at 5k should be even quicker!

I am confused why you would post European stage three #'s but do not post the numbers for the Stage three 3 kit you have installed on Scottisha's car. Lets see some USA model stage 3 kit performance figures Dyno charts ext...............
How about some official stage 2 and stage 2+ dynos...
It's said info coming soon for quite some time. I would rather see info that is more in line with what most people are going to do as opposed to some euro dsg stuff that has nothing for me...
Here is the route I would personally take:
APR Stage 1 ECU
APR HPFP & Free Stage 1+ ECU Upgrade
VWR Intake System
APR RSC TBE & Free Stage 2+ ECU Upgrade
APR Intercooler
I would start with the performance modifications and then head on over to the suspension mods.
Does APR recommend uprated con-Rods, or other internals for stage 3? I assume clutch is a must as well
2012 Deep Black Pearl Golf [R]|APR Stage 1 v3.31 intake file| HS Tuning RSR Clutch | Soundaktor unplug|OEM tinted LED tails|H2Sport Roller Follower|Neuspeed CF engine cover|EVOMS V-Flow Intake|Newsouth Performance Ventpod|R8 Coil Packs|
Definitely upgrade the clutch though. You're already pushing the limits at Stage 2+ so Stage 3 will definitely exceed what the stock clutch is capable of holding.
Currently Between Fun Cars
of getting rid of the R32 and buying her another car. Should have done it, would have saved
me a lot of $$$ and would have two R's today. Oh well... Wonder how much would it cost. HPA
can do it, anyone on the east coast can do it? Anyone in the USA done it yet? Skela did it with his
I did dyno my car before and after, on a Mustang all wheel dyno, and the 100 octane file made a big gain.
Once APR releases all the info on their US version Stage 3 kit, and I get the production file, I'll share my results. I think you guys would be impressed.
Personally, although there are some guys putting down some great numbers with the K04, I knew I wanted a bit more. I wanted to be at a minimum of 400 crank hp in this car, with the possibility of making 500hp depending on how much more I was willing to do. Even though there are some decent Stage 2/2+ cars out there, I knew I wouldn't be able to make the numbers I wanted, without a turbo upgrade.
I would love to make a video along side a Stage 2+ Golf R, so you guys can see the difference as well as see the spooling of the GTX2867R turbo....I'm not 100% certain, but I think it spools nearly as quick as the K04.
using this calculator, you can get a good idea of what kind of hp it takes to get a car to trap 117mph in the 1/4 mile.
I figured probably 3620lbs, with me in the car.

Therapeutic Uses of Botulinum Toxin

Spasmodic Dysphonia
- Jerome S. Schwartz
- , Phillip Song
- , Andrew Blitzer
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a focal laryngeal dystonia characterized by involuntary, action-induced spasms of the muscles controlling vocal fold motion. The laryngeal adductor muscles (lateral cricoarytenoid [LCA], interarytenoid, and possibly the cricothyroid and thyroarytenoid [TA]), abductor muscle (posterior cricoarytenoid [PCA]), or rarely both groups of muscles may be affected. Adductor SD is characterized by a harsh, strangled, or effortful voice (glottal fry) with irregular phonatory breaks secondary to vocal fold hyperadduction or spasm. The supraglottic structures may be hyperfunctional as well. Abductor SD presents as a breathy, effortful, hypophonic voice with irregular breaks following consonant voicing secondary to vocal fold hyperabduction. Although the exact etiology of SD is unclear, SD is now recognized as a neurological disorder of central processing.

I had smart lipo with aspiration on my stomach yesterday afternoon and so far im really pleased.
The procedure itself was relatively straight and quick, taking less than an hour. My surgeon was very competent and made me feel at ease throughout. There was no pain during the procedure although i did feel the occasional stinging, but nothing that lasted more than a couple of seconds. Afterwards I was helped into a compression garment which I have to say has probably been the most uncomfortable thing so far (there unbelievably tight!
I had quite a bit of swelling yesterday but seems to have mostly settled today and I can now already see a slight difference. I do feel a little sore today but nothing like I was expecting and settled with a dose of paracetamol, so all in all im happy and looking forward to seeing the final results.

Hastings has 2 ps4s and 5 xbones if anyone is trying to find one. I'm at a local store so maybe check the website and see if they have it listed on their website. I already got a ps4 so otherwise I'd snatch it up.
There have been two at my local wal mart for the past few days. Still there as of this morning.
Thought you were doing one of your giveaways then F34R :snicker
They're in stock at Amazon right now, and apparently they log their stock by minutes rather than days, because I've received about 100 updates from Amazon that they're now in stock with launch day bundles.
In addition, Newegg gets large bundles in stock at least 2-3 times a week, it seems. So, if you want to, say, get a PS4, a Vita, an extra controller, and a 40 inch TV all at the same time, you're in luck.
I haven't checked my Walmart lately but on the site the surrounding stores have had PS4s in stock. Not sure about Xbox One but you can probably get one of those on Amazon. That's where i got mine.
Amazon has them and I just ordered one finally. Will be here by Christmas Eve if not Monday. Saw plenty X1s between Target and Walmart, but never seen a PS4 in store anywhere. Walmart had them last weekend but they sold out in 15 minutes.

Going Green on Whidbey Island
Going Green on Whidbey Island
Just after Thanksgiving came Black Friday. Right after Black Friday came, Small Business Saturday. But if you ask me, Small Business Saturday should be Shop Local Everyday! There are many good reasons to Shop Local and here's another one!
Island County has its own Shop Local Coupon Book. It supports services for seniors, keeps our dollars local to support our community, and with it you can save money all year long. It's a win, win, win! And now is the best time to get one.
The first thing I did with my Shop Local Coupon Book was get a haircut. It was the best haircut I'd had on Whidbey Island and the savings paid for the $12 coupon book. After that all the other coupons were icing on the cake!
Get your coupon book now to save money on holiday gifts and on eating out while going shopping! Then keep using it for all kinds of things year round.
Get a discount when you join the gym to follow through on your New Year's resolutions. Save money on flowers, a special night at a B&B, or even diamonds for your Valentine. Get a discount on a hanging basket or flowering shrub for Mother's Day. Save on greeting cards for birthdays, graduations and anniversaries. Get discounts on copies, prints and computer services. Coupons from hardware stores help pay for your summer home and garden projects. Get a good deal on outdoor gear, popcorn at the movies, or a novel for that trip to the beach. Take friends to the Whidbey Island Fair for free. Use coupons for back-to-school clothes and supplies. Save money on pet care. Get a discount when you get the furnace checked or fill up the propane tank next fall. Save when you winterize the car. Take the sewing machine in for a tune-up. Get discounted craft supplies and stock up on groceries, wine or a farm share of food before the big holiday season. You can even get discounts at thrift shops! It's smart to put the Shop Local Coupon Book at the top of your shopping list this holiday season and use it year round.
By shopping locally owned businesses, we not only save money, we support our entire community and our quality of life.
*Money spent at locally owned stores is spent 6 to 15 times before it leaves our community.
*Local retailers are much more likely to contribute to local charities than national chain stores.
*Money spent in Island County includes sales tax which pays for Island County services we all enjoy.
*We save time and money on transportation, or shipping and handling.
* We support Island families who in turn support our community.
*Local businesses provide better jobs with a living wage.
*Small businesses take less infrastructure and make better use of our Island's resources.
*We preserve our unique Island character and charm which attracts entrepreneurs to settle here attracting prosperity.
*Communities that support local businesses are better able to ride out hard economic times.
Most of the coupons are for things we would buy anyway so why not get a good deal. Altogether there's over $2,000 in savings. They're available for $12 at Coupeville Town Hall, the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, and the Bayview Senior Services Center among many other places on Whidbey Island. Look here for the entire list. http://www.ssicnews.org/fundraising/

Cannonball Adderley
Adderley already had an established career as a high school band director in Florida when, during a 1955 visit to New York, he was persuaded to sit in with Oscar Pettiford's group at the Cafe Bohemia. His playing created such a sensation that he was soon signed to Savoy and persuaded to play jazz full-time in New York. With his younger brother, cornetist Nat, Cannonball formed a quintet that struggled until its breakup in 1957. Adderley then joined Miles Davis, forming part of his super sextet with John Coltrane and participating on such classic recordings as Milestones and Kind of Blue. Adderley's second attempt to form a quintet with his brother was much more successful for, in 1959, with pianist Bobby Timmons, he had a hit recording of "This Here." From then on, Cannonball always was able to work steadily with his band.
During its Riverside years (1959-1963), the Adderley Quintet primarily played soulful renditions of hard bop and Cannonball really excelled in the straight-ahead settings. During 1962-1963, Yusef Lateef made the group a sextet and pianist Joe Zawinul was an important new member. The collapse of Riverside resulted in Adderley signing with Capitol and his recordings became gradually more commercial. Charles Lloyd was in Lateef's place for a year (with less success) and then with his departure the group went back to being a quintet. Zawinul's 1966 composition "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" was a huge hit for the group, Adderley started doubling on soprano, and the quintet's later recordings emphasized long melody statements, funky rhythms, and electronics. However, during his last year, Cannonball Adderley was revisiting the past a bit and on Phenix he recorded new versions of many of his earlier numbers. But before he could evolve his music any further, Cannonball Adderley died suddenly from a stroke. ~ Scott Yanow

Comparison of Contour Plots between Various Programs
I've constructed a number of smoothed, interpolated contour plots in
SAS. The contours do not pass through the actual fairly 'noisy' data
points, but are purposely adjusted so as to produce clean readily
understandable contours.
I'd like to compare the SAS contour plots with what Mathematica
ListContourPlot seems the appropriate procedure. Would someone here
please guide in selecting the appropriate commands to highly smooth
and interpolate?
I'm hoping the high points, low points in the contour plots in SAS and
Mathematica outputs match up. Otherwise I'll be quite concerned.

Retirement plan eligible employees are employees working in positions that are at least 50% FTE (half-time) and expected to last 4.5 months or longer. All employees who fall in this category are required to participate the Teacher Retirement System (TRS), unless an exception to TRS membership applies, for exceptions refer to the TRS Handbook. TWU employees participate in both Social Security and TRS. For information on whether or not your TRS pension will effect your Social Security benefit please log on to the social security site for Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination.
An Optional Retirement Program (ORP) is available for full-time faculty and certain administrative employees in lieu of the Teacher Retirement System (TRS). Eligible employees have 90 days from the date of employment to make a one-time choice to relinquish membership in TRS become a participant in the ORP. The decision to participate in TRS or ORP is extremely important because this is a one time irrevocable election. The ORP is a personal retirement plan purchased by the member to which the State makes contributions. Benefits are based on the accumulated contributions and interest in the member's account. Vesting occurs after one year and one day of participation. You can choose from any authorized provider for TWU 403(b).
TAX DEFERRED 403(b), 457 DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ROTH 403(b) ACCOUNTS
Whether you participate in retirement or not, you are eligible to contribute pre-tax contributions into a Tax Deferred Account (TDA), a Roth 403(b) and/or a Deferred Compensation Program (457). Each of these types of plans are supplemental retirement savings plans that you can contribute to in order to supplement your regular retirement through TRS/ORP. Neither plan receives a state contribution. The benefit of the TDA and 457 plan is the tax sheltering of your contributions until retirement age (or withdrawal of your account after termination of employment, if prior to retirement). Roth accounts are after tax contributions with the benefit of deferring taxes on earnings and tax-free withdrawals during retirement.
For enrollment into a voluntary 403b plan contact an authorized provider to participate in the 403b plan and log into Retirement Manager. The User ID for this system is your Oracle ID and can be obtained by contacting the TWU Benefits Office.
For enrollment in the 457 program, contact Great West to review their investment options and other important information. For more information concerning the 457 Program, call Great West at 800-634-5091 or visit Texasaver.

Each retiree is honored at time of retirement regardless of any future return to work agreements. Faculty members who choose to participate in the Retired Teaching Option (RTO) will be honored as a retiree BEFORE beginning RTO employment.
To obtain an estimate for your TRS annuity contact TRS at 1-800-223-8778 or log into TRS at www.trs.state.tx.us.
Retirees with 20 years of eligible service credit will receive the full state contribution, retirees with 15-19 years of eligible service credit will receive 75% of the full state contribution and retirees with a minimum of 10 years of eligible service credit would receive 50% of the full state contribution. A grandfathering provision is included for those employees with five years of eligible service credit as of August 31, 2014. Retiree Insurance for TWU is administered by ERS (Employees Retirement System of Texas). Contact the TWU Benefits Office to elect your Retiree Insurance.
Return To Work After Retirement

Many cities and counties throughout the country have programs or informal practices designed to resolve minor cases without criminal prosecution. These programs and practices differ from diversion in that they typically don't involve direct oversight by a court.
Programs that go by names like "office hearing" and "citation hearing" typically involve meeting with, at a minimum, a prosecutor or hearing officer. For instance, a prosecutor might agree to refrain from filing shoplifting charges if the defendant (with his attorney), comes in for a citation hearing. At this hearing, the prosecutor might ask the suspect for his version of events, discuss the seriousness of the accusation, warn him that any further misbehavior will lead to the filing of charges, and convince him to repay the victim's losses.
If the prosecutor is satisfied with the meeting, then he typically won't file charges—or if he's already filed them, he will likely dismiss them. (Some kinds of hearings and meetings are more formal than others, and can even involve statements from witnesses; going into it, the person presiding over the hearing or meeting might be undecided as to whether to recommend criminal prosecution.)
Some pre-prosecution programs are designed with an emphasis on mediating conflicts between parties, one of whom could be subject to criminal prosecution. For example, a prosecutor might schedule an office hearing so that she can attempt to resolve the dispute between the accused shoplifter and the store owner. Upon successful mediation, the prosecutor won't file—or will dismiss—criminal charges.
If you've been accused of a crime and want to know whether you might be able to avoid criminal prosecution, consult an experienced local attorney. That attorney should be familiar with local practices, both formal and informal, for resolving criminal cases short of going to court. If you've been summoned for a meeting or hearing, make sure to immediately consult with a lawyer. Failing to appear, being unprepared, or saying something incriminating can have serious ramifications.

Location: Water Management ResearchTitle: Using TIF tarp and reduced fumigation rates for almond replanting Author
Submitted to: Extension Reports
Publication Type: Other
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/1/2013
Publication Date: 12/3/2013
Citation: Gao, S. 2013. Using TIF tarp and reduced fumigation rates for almond replanting. 2012-2013 Annual Reports CD-ROM. Modesto, California: Almond Board of California. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Almond replanting still relies on pre-plant soil fumigation to control soil-borne pests and diseases in order to establish productive and healthy trees. With the environmental constraints on fumigant use, fumigation methods for high pest control efficiency and low emissions are needed greatly. In late fall of 2012, a fumigation field trial was conducted in an almond orchard that was scheduled to be replanted in Merced County. The field had a high nematode population, chiefly pin nematodes and some ring nematodes. This trial was designed to test if low permeability tarps such as totally impermeable film (TIF) can improve efficacy and potentially reduce emissions when using reduced rates. Fumigation treatments included non-fumigated control, three rates (full or maximum allowed label rate, 2/3, and 1/3 of Telone® C-35), and three surface sealing methods (bare, standard polyethylene (PE) tarp, and TIF) with six replicates in a randomized complete block design. Emissions, gaseous fumigant concentration under the tarp, and fumigant concentrations in soil profile were determined for about five weeks. Both soil existing indigenous nematodes and bioassay bags containing soils infested with citrus nematodes were investigated for treatment efficacy. This trial emission data illustrated again that TIF tarp can significantly reduce emission peak flux compared to the standard PE tarp due to the ability of TIF to retain fumigants. All full rate treatments and the 2/3 rate under TIF provided 100% kill for resident nematodes in the top soil above 1 m depth. In soil below 1 m, however, all treatments including the full rate under TIF showed survival of nematodes. Thus controlling nematodes at deep soil depths continues to be a challenging task in replanting orchards.

Hercule Poirot is now beginning part deux of his followance in the footsteps of Paul. He's very keen to portray Paul, and wants to find out more…
Paul's manifesto is apparently that all are equal… but would this really have been sufficiently unusual to attract such attention?
Ooh he's walking on the famous Via Ignatia, heading to Philippi. "The heavy presence of empire surrounded Paul." Wow these stone carvings up on the cliffs are awesome – I'd love to go see that. I love how in Greece and similar places so many of these treasures are simply left in their original setting.
YAY! Thessalonica – ahh, the memories… He's at the Vlattadon monastery. When I was trying to find that place, I tried to tell people in Greek that we wanted to find the monastery, and they simply could not understand my rubbishy modern Greek. And it turned out that the monastery was closed anyway. But on the bright side, there were peacocks there. Ohhh now that I see they're claiming that Paul preached there… hmmm… Eddie Adams is chatting to him… hey, cool, we're seeing a Greek manuscript being written. Why is he quoting Galatians instead of Thessalonians though?
Ohhhh my goodness… HE'S QUOTING 1 CORINTHIANS! He's talking about 1 Cor 14, and talking about Paul's views on women. He's fascinated to hear that "the seeds of women's liberation today could have been sown in Paul's own theology."
Now he's walking to Athens. This may take a while. Oh wait, he's now decided to go by car and train. That's speeding things up nicely. Hercule is saying that his view of Paul is changing – Paul now seems to be pro-women, and he is tenacious. Okay, we're in Athens. Ten bucks says we see the Erechtheion within the next 10 seconds…. hmm… Okay, that didn't happen. I owe you all ten bucks. He says "AreoPAYgus." Imagine if the AreoPAYgus was in DamARscus.
Ooh he's in the restored Stoa in Athens. I currently have a snoring child next to me, so I'm not quite picking up everything that's being said. I think my son really needs his adenoids out. Do they take out those other things from people's throats any more? What are they called? You know… tonsils. Do they still remove tonsils? WHOA, I've been missing stuff – he's in a SYMPOSIUM!! The fun type, not the academic type! This is good – he's making a good point about the possibility of the Lord's Supper being misinterpreted in such a cultural context.
"And so to Corinth." Sweet! He's appropriately impressed as he goes through the canal. Man, this snoring is really loud. I assume Poirot is saying something about Corinth. "Corinth was literally a melting pot." Really? Hey, now he's looking at the Lechaion road, and seeing all of the good stuff. There's the Temple of Apollo. Oh dear, someone's mentioned Britain, and that's got Poirot all excited. Now he's going up to Acrocorinth. I sense a quote of 1 Cor 9 coming up – ten bucks says he quotes it…. YES!! He did! In your face – I get my ten bucks back.
"Returning to Jerusalem turned out to be a fateful decision." True, in a negative and positive sense.
Now onto Caesarea – I see Herod's swimming pool. Caesarea is awesome. You must go there. Best three places to visit in Israel: 1) Jerusalem; 2) Caesarea; 3) Beth Shean; 4) Massada. I know that's four, but I couldn't stop.
Wait didn't he just get a Bible quote wrong? He said "Our salvation is nearer now than we first believed." But surely it should be "Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed" – that's a very different meaning! He's building a lot on the idea that Paul was deadset convinced that the world was about to end. I'm just not so convinced.
We're now on the way to Rome. And Hercule is walking on the Appian Way. Nowadays people like Sophia Loren live on that road. At least, that's what the tour guide told me. Ooh there's Rome. Now he's discussing the relationship between religion and state. Good stuff.
Hmm… he's hearing the true point that Paul's claims would have come across as political. But I do feel that this point is usually made in an overly simplistic way – but for a general, popular-level documentary, it's fine.
Now they're discussing the claimed bones of Paul – but it's being done with appropriate qualification.
Now, in concluding, Poirot is setting his well-known detective skills to the task of pondering how to know Paul. "If I really want to find Paul, the best place to look is his own words"… and so he reads 1 Corinthians 15. Poirot, you've done it again. High five, Poirot. High five.

Right-Wing Media Attack Revenue Increases As Solution To Default Crisis -- Conservative Economists Disagree
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER, CHELSEA RUDMAN & MELODY JOHNSON
Conservative media have remained adamantly opposed to any revenue increases when covering the current negotiations over the looming default crisis. In fact, several prominent conservative economists disagree and have said that new revenue should be part of an agreement.
Right-Wing Media Attack Tax Increases As Part Of Debt Deal
Erickson: Dem's "Moral Case For Tax Increases" Is "What Happens When We Debase Morality." In a June 28 post on the conservative blog Red State, CNN contributor Erick Erickson wrote:
The Democrats, in particular Joe Biden and Barack Obama, are out to make the moral case for tax increases. They claim the Republican position is immoral.
This is what happens when we debase morality in our American political culture.
Republicans arguing that the government should let hard working Americans keep their own money is not an immoral argument to make -- particularly given how ineffective and inefficient government use of that money would be compared to private enterprise and non-profits.
For Barack Obama and Joe Biden to make this a case of morality is a reflection of their weak moral compass. [Red State, 6/28/11]
NRO: "A Tax Increase Is The Last Thing The Economy Needs." A June 28 post on National Review Online's blog The Corner stated:
The Democrats think they can address these problems by raising taxes. But today's second must-read op-ed, this one from James Pethokoukis of Reuters, helps us see why a tax increase is the last thing the economy needs.
How to achieve dramatically improved economic growth is, of course, no simple question. But we can be pretty sure that tax increases on investors and job creators are not the way.
Republicans should champion a wholesale tax reform that includes the elimination of most tax preferences to make a significant rate reduction possible. Such a reform could also yield some modest additional federal revenue (and the growth it could enable could too). But they should adamantly oppose targeted tax increases intended to stoke class resentment that end up raising yet more obstacles to productivity and prosperity. [National Review Online, 6/28/11]
Huckabee: When The Wealthy "Get Taxed, It's Not Going To Mean That The Middle Class Improves." During the June 24 broadcast of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, guest and Fox News host Mike Huckabee said:
MIKE HUCKABEE: The Democrats honestly believe that you ought to tax people more, that we just aren't paying enough. They ignore the fact that half the people in the country don't pay any tax at all at the federal level, zero.
NEIL CAVUTO: Right. Right.
HUCKABEE: They have no skin in the game. Do they want the rich people to get taxed? Of course they do.
What they don't understand is, when they get taxed, it's not going to mean that the middle class improves. It means that the wealthy people simply do things that will cause the middle class to lose income and lose ground, like jobs, like extra things.
Remember when Bill Clinton said, let's have that luxury tax; we're going to hit the yacht owners and the airplane owners?
CAVUTO: Sure.
HUCKABEE: You know got hurt? It wasn't the people that were in the yachts.
CAVUTO: The people who built the yachts.
HUCKABEE: The people that built the yachts, that cleaned the yachts, that serviced the yachts. That's the way it works. [Fox News, Your World, 6/24/11, accessed via Nexis]
Hoft: "GOP Lawmakers Pull Out Of Budget Talks After Dems Insist On Job-Killing Tax Hikes." In a June 23 post to his blog, Gateway Pundit, titled, "GOP Lawmakers Pull Out Of Budget Talks After Dems Insist On Job-Killing Tax Hikes," Jim Hoft wrote: "Republican leaders pulled out of the bi-partisan budget talks after democrats [sic] continued to insist on job-killing tax hikes."

You knew this was coming.
After blowing a trillion dollars on a failed stimulus plan the Obama Administration believes the best way to cut the record deficit is to raise taxes.
Now the Obama Administration wants to increase taxes to pay for their failed spending programs.

"Unrealistic": Conservative Economists Disagree, Call For Raising Revenue
The Hill: Bush Economic Advisor Mankiw "Knows Both Tax Increases And Spending Cuts Are Required." In a June 28 The Hill op-ed, Mark Mellman, president of The Mellman Group, cited a number of conservative economists and economic advisors who say that some form of revenue increases should be part of a solution to lowering the deficit. From The Hill:
America has both a spending problem and a revenue problem -- too much of the former and too little of the latter. Every serious student of the federal budget, right, left and center, agrees that any realistic solution requires a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases.
Democrats and Republicans on the Simpson-Bowles Commission knew that both revenue increases and spending cuts were necessary to deal effectively with our deficit problem.
N. Gregory Mankiw, the chairman of George Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, knows both tax increases and spending cuts are required. Indeed, Mankiw argues, "The distinction between spending and taxation is often murky and sometimes meaningless." Explaining that giving snipe hunters a tax break for every fake animal they hunt down is no different from setting up a program to pay snipe hunters for each pelt they bring in, Mankiw implicitly criticizes Republicans' unwillingness to end oil-company subsidies and explicitly advocates broadening the tax base and reducing rates to increase revenue. [The Hill, 6/28/11]
Reagan Budget Director Stockman: "It Is Simply Unrealistic To Say That Raising Revenue Isn't Part Of The Solution." From Mellman's June 28 The Hill op-ed:
President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, knows raising revenue must be an essential component of any fiscal cure. "It is simply unrealistic to say that raising revenue isn't part of the solution. It's a measure of how far off the deep end Republicans have gone with this religious catechism about taxes," says Stockman, one of the biggest budget cutters of all time. [The Hill, 6/28/11]
Stein: "We've Got To Raise Taxes. There Is Just No Way Around It." On the June 25 edition of Fox Business' Cavuto on Business, guest Ben Stein said: "We've got to raise taxes. There is just no way around it. The deficit situation is so serious that while I wish we did not have to raise taxes, we just can't cut spending enough." From Cavuto on Business:
STEIN: Well, as I've been saying now ever since we met, we've got to raise taxes. There is just no way around it. The deficit situation is so serious that while I wish we did not have to raise taxes, we just can't cut spending enough. I wish we could. We can't. We have to raise taxes. Mr. Obama is going to have to do it. I don't know if the Republicans in the house will go along with it. If they don't there will be a genuine crisis, and I'm frankly frightened about it.
I think Republicans have painted themselves, ourselves into a corner here. I don't think it is the sensible, responsible corner to be in. Yes, as [Fox Business correspondent] Charlie [Gasparino] said, cut whatever can be reasonably cut, but don't rule out tax increases. Look, we have had fantastic growth in this country with much higher tax rates than we have now. We can have it again. Please, please, please, let's not get even close to a default. [Fox Business, Cavuto on Business, 6/25/11, via Media Matters]
Former GOP Staffer Bartlett: "There Is No Doubt That Closing Loopholes And Eliminating Many Tax Subsidies Would Have The Same Effect As Cutting Spending." In a June 24 column for The Fiscal Times, Bruce Bartlett, a former staffer for Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) and a deputy assistant secretary at the Treasury under George H.W. Bush, wrote:
The main sticking point in negotiations between Republicans and Democrats on deficit reduction measures to accompany a rise in the debt limit is whether higher revenues should make any contribution. A key Republican concern is that any tax increase would depress the economy.
Of course, it goes without saying that there will be different economic effects depending on how spending is cut or taxes are raised. But the first-order effect in either case will be to reduce national income and depress growth. In the longer run, some spending cuts could well be expansionary if they altered economic behavior in a positive direction. In general, subsidies are a bad idea because they distort economic decision making and reduce growth below what would occur in a free market environment.
But the same is true for tax subsidies. If someone pays lower taxes because they produce ethanol it is really no different than just getting a government check for doing the same thing. Yet many Republicans oppose abolishing tax-based subsidies because it would be an impermissible and economically depressing "tax increase," while eliminating budget-based subsidies would be a beneficial "spending cut" that would be economically stimulating.
Economists have known for many years that many tax cuts are nothing more than spending by another name. They call such things "tax expenditures" and there are about $1 trillion worth in the tax code. Getting rid of many of them would have exactly the same economic benefits as reducing on-budget subsidies. Nevertheless, Republicans oppose eliminating tax expenditures unless other taxes are cut because any net tax increase would depress growth. The historical evidence, however, does not necessarily support this view.
[I]t is Republican dogma that tax increases are so offensive that they are willing to walk away from trillions of dollars of spending cuts that the Obama administration has agreed to and risk defaulting on the national debt just to prevent so much as $1 of tax increase from being enacted. While obviously any tax increase needs to be carefully considered, there is no doubt that closing loopholes and eliminating many tax subsidies would have the same effect as cutting spending. If Republicans believe that cutting spending is stimulative, they can't logically oppose cuts in spending through the tax code. [The Fiscal Times, 6/24/11, emphasis added]

They know how to throw a party. Saturday night in west ashley has a whole new vibe. This 1 st year for then has been questioned by all, would they make it? What a way to go forth into the new year. Great crowd, Great food, bartenders could be a little faster with the service, and a more organized for checking out. This bar was on fire, live music after the game, kept the crowd till closing time. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP.
Very good. No complaints. Will definitely be back for wings and bourbon. Bartender lacked a bit of knowledge about drinks/beers, but again, no complaints. The guy who appeared to be the manager was very knowledgeable and filled in the blanks. Really liked the atmosphere and the bar itself. The temp regulated drafts/taps is a nice option. Wings are a bit pricey, but worth it. Half price day makes them well worth it. Looking forward to trying more menu items.
Great Place… With one exception
I really enjoyed the Griffon. Food was good and the beer selection was great. However, one bartender almost ruined it. It's a small guy with black hair kind of spiked. Lee or Lloyd (I think). Wore a flower on his shirt and was very rude! Anyway, the place is great, but avoid this guy if possible…
This is the place to get great burgers and occasionally a beer. Every time I have gone my burgers have been great! The location is tucked away in a rundown shopping center, I drove past it 3 times before I actually found it. As far as the decor inside, its nothing great!! The decor is bland, bright lights in the dining area, fake flowers, cheap tablecloths, no pictures, no uniforms, and radio is always playing.
As far as the food goes, I don't care if I'm eating on a cheap tablecloth with fake flowers surrounding me, I'll eat there again and again. Now if I was going out for the night to grab some drinks with a few friends, I would go somewhere else.
Always had a great time here, sure its a bit touristy, but living here, its nice to go out and do something fun like this place. Great ocean views, great Jerk chicken and they serve up a good solid breakfast too.
Only complaint would be that service while fair, is almost always very slow. The restaurant def runs on island time, but heck, with a view like that who cares.
FCB, they OPEN the doors at 9pm (usually, but sometimes earlier for "early" shows...depends on the band). Don't expect the band to start when the doors open, that's just silly. If you go to a sporting event would you expect them to open the gates at kick-off/first pitch/tip-off time? Sorry you won't be back, they have some of the best music in town at (usually) very reasonable door prices.
I took off one star because you cannot get a PBR for $1.50 anymore. It's $2 during happy hour (which ends too early, IMO...and I'm not alone in that). Will I stop going? No way! Too much good music and too many good people for that.
(Perhaps someone could rewrite the description to reflect the raised drink prices...?)
The food here is GREAT! Wonderful selection and perfectly-sized portions. I live nearby and I don't eat there often enough! I normally sit at the bar and the bartenders are always friendly and talkative - quick to make a suggestion, depending on what you're in the mood for. Great wine list. The atmosphere is very nice, but still comfortable if you're having a casual night. Highly recommended!
[And for "Chef Lisa" who gave this place such a terrible review: If you were REALLY a chef, you would know there is no such word as "eatable." The word you were looking for is "edible." Your welcome.]
I like the new chef and management. It's much better these days.
I have ordered take-out from the IceHouse on several occasions and have no complaints. The food was very good, and reasonably priced. Service has always been cheerful and attentive. I will return again.
I have been to the bar and will return again tonight for the second time. I loved it and am looking forward to another great night!
Great place for karaoke. Doesn't matter if you can sing or not, just don't be shy. It is an older crowd but people of all ages show up and guess what? everone gets along.
Just came back from a visit to the local pub Madra Rua. Had the prime rib sandwich and and some strongbow ciders. Pretty tasty (especially with the hand cut fries (mine with vinegar)). Wife had the corn beef and cabbage that she said was good but not a wow. Atmosphere is great, people are great. Typical pub food. Will definitely go back. (I've got many more beverages to try!)
My wife and I went to Dublin Down this past Saturday and were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service as well as the authetic pub atmosphere. Its been a long time since we were greeted as early and often as we were from various members of the staff that night...on the way out, we were stopped by one of the owners who said "thank you so much for stopping here tonight...we really appreciate your business"...there was no doubt that he meant what he said. Hopefully, this one will be around for awhile.
Better than average pizza, pricey beer ... Not five stars but a good four on their better days.
I've been to all three O'Brion's, and have enjoyed my experience each time. They have a great beer selection, attentive staff, and great food. Awesome place to watch the game!
Enjoyed the live music, food and beer. Dog friendly place with very friendly staff, we will certainly be back.
Been there twice in the last two weeks, first with a big group for a business occasion, went back this week with a friend because the first visit was so good. Seems they've changed their menu, it's smaller, but I think they're focusing more on quality than on quantity of items. Both times, the service was really good - the wait staff was attentive & knowledgeable, but not in your face. Sometimes with a big group it's not as great as when you're with a smaller party, but they were good & really welcoming. They were even willing to change a few things, & all the food came out quickly. With the big group, had a bunch of appetizers, all of them were really good, especially the edamame & spinach dip. They have some great sushi, some of the best we've had, some were kind of spicy, excellent. With my friend, we shared some of the small plates, the tuna was a bit overdone, but the hanger steak was delicious, also more sushi.
We also had a few of their specialty drinks, the Thai Basil Lemonade is great - pretty creative. AND, the outdoor patio is awesome - this place will be on our list of favorite restaurants.
Best lunch on DI, hands down. Reasonably priced considering the portion size (I took half of my huge $13 sandwich home!) They always have some rare beer on tap.
Definitely the burgers are awesome! I ordered two, one for there, one to take home (the yank, the hot shit) and both were awesome and juicy. I like mine pretty rare, and it was cooked wonderfully. However, another member of our party ordered a medium rare and it came out lookin fresh outta the grinder. They took it back graciously though and fixed him a new burger. I was impressed by the beer selection, though I admittably don't know much about that...It was loud and busy and the waitstaff was only okay, but it's a burger and bar joint - i expect that sort of environment. The hostess was a little flighty, and the to-go burger was plainly forgotten about - but they got it straight to me. I would def go back, and rank it as the best burger place I've tried yet in the area, though the service could use a slightly happier personality.
Neil's serves stellar steak dishes and the service is terrific. The wine list is appropriately varied and reasonably priced. Every time I've dined there, the bar area is lively - looks like a great gathering place for locals in the 17 North area. It's also really nice that Neil himself usually stops in at your table and checks on your meal.

Recently I just launched my new web site & I had a lot of help from some one- who did a lot of coding for me- he did a good job (and was paid), but now the guy has dissapeared.
I have sent him 4 e.mails and still no response- not even " Really busy right now, will get back to you later".....very un proffesional indeed !
I even sent more work his way and wrote a really nice reference for his new company, which he was going to start.
Kinda funny, as soon as I sent this reference to him- he stopped writing back (weird eh! ) Anyway, so I am now looking for some one to help me with a few things.
If any one is interested, please do drop me a line.

Weekend Retreat
Seven goods to get you off the couch and into the great wide open this summer.
Spring sunset in the Wasatch, Utah. Photo: Jon Kiraly
There are plenty of things to do outside when you can't snowboard. Just grab some friends, head out into the woods, and spend some time away from the grid. But take it easy there Bear Grylls, you're not going to be trapping game or eating wild mushrooms right away (seriously, do not eat any wild mushrooms). Pack a few of these items and you'll have a much better time.
Crazy Creek Original Chair ($50)
These guys are based out of Red Lodge, Montana, and make some quality outdoor gear. This chair is the OG of the line, just a regular folding seat done right. Good cushioning, proper back support, adjustable straps, and it folds flat for packing.

Got to finally hunt one of my feilds.
It's a cut bean feild that was just planted with winter wheat.
The farmer figured the geese were doing more damage then me hunting, so away I went.
Got the dekes setup, and blind covered.
Just as I finish I hear Geese off in the distance behind me.
I get a look at a flock of 5 birds heading my way.
They never came close enough to get a shot, with them gone I adjust the dekes a bit and hunker down for the hunt.
Here's the setup.
And a shot from the blind out.
3 small folks and an hour and 15 later, I'm getting ready to pack up.
The first flock was a group of 4, One broke off and commited suicide. Next was a group of 3, Again only 1 fell. Next came a group of 4, 3 went down all witnin 25 yrds of the blind. That was it for the shooting. while i was packing up the birds started coming in in bigger flocks.
I guess I'll have to do that again soon to keep the birds out of the winter wheat.
The end results.
The Banded bird.
Me and the limit.

It's St. Patrick's Day friends and we're all excited! Mom gave us green Sparkle balls to all of us ('cept Caporal, he'd eat 'em! He got "Greenie Treats for Doggies"), we had a contest between D'Arcy and myself to see which one of us could knock it under the stove first. Mom needs her exercise and it's great to see her down on the floor trying to get them back out for us. We're really good at those pathetic looks you know..like we have no other toys even though there's a huge basket of 'em around for us..MOL!!!
We watched Mom and Dad put up St. Patrick's decorations in the bay window last night, they look great and some hang down and sparkle, we have plans for those when Mom and Dad aren't looking! *wink*
Mom put a little green in our water today, what's wrong with that woman? Where's the Green Beer? I thought this family was Irish for goodness sake! Mom says the big parade in Montreal is next Sunday, she said we can't go! Again..what's wrong with these people, we like to party too!
Have a great St. Patty's Day everyone..Erin Go Bragh!!
Mom decided to re-do all our pages this week and although we are grateful (they look great!) she's been ignoring us. Now we've crawled over her keyboard, sat in front of the screen, sat on the scanner and under her lamp blocking the light. But she's been so focused that nothing has worked except D'Arcy stealing her chair when she gets up for something. (I hate it when my efforts don't work, but his do, he should know that's not right!)
Besides all that, things haven't been too bad except for the snow. It's snowed several days this week and frankly, we are SICK of the white stuff. We want windows opened, we are quite tired of the birdies at the feeders looking like Mimes! We did notice that Mom has a couple of planters out with dirt in them and these strange shoots coming up. Terra thinks it's cat grass, but I know cat grass and this doesn't look like it at all. Maybe we should investigate?
Btw, Terra says Scooter dropped by a new group we're in and sent me Headbutts...she says there's tons of catnip at the bridge. You know something? I think Scooter was a little tipsey, but hey, I'd be tipsey too...which makes me wonder if those strange shoots are catnip? Can we be THAT lucky?
It's taken me a week to be able to come to terms with losing one of my bestest friends ever. Scooter was here for me when I was a kitten and adjusting to Maggie May, or should I say, Maggie May was adjusting to me. She'd lost her soul mate Canoe just a week or so before I arrived and didn't take very well to me at first. It felt so good to have an older sister like Scooter to talk to and give me so much love. She even talked to Maggie May on my behalf and gave such good advice.
Eventually Maggie and I became very close, perhaps more on my part then hers, but she knew I loved her and I'm sure she loved me too, why else would she give me baths and let me snuggle in that wonderful full coat of her's when I was cold? I'll always give Scooter a lot of credit for that.
Scooter was there for me when Terra came to live with us, and was there for me when Maggie May came down with Lymphoma and went through all that chemo and was so sick. Scooter knew how my heart was breaking and how helpless I felt.
I will never be able to express how much esteem I held her in, or how much pain my heart is in now that she's gone to the bridge. I hope she finds Maggie May and Canoe and joins them in a warm snuggly cat pile. I know how much Scooter loved her heated bed and she won't need one at the bridge if she finds Maggie, Magpie will wrap that lush Maine Coon tail around my Scooter and cuddle her up against her tummy. *tears* It really helps to think of them together forever.
Scooter, I miss you, I will always love and cherish you.

Report: Sanders to visit the Jaguars
Former Indianapolis Colts SS Bob Sanders is scheduled to visit the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL.com reported.
Because he's a vested veteran, Sanders did not have to pass through waivers, so he's free to sign with any team at least until the end of NFL business on March 3.
Sanders, who has played in nine regular season games over the past three seasons, was signed through the 2012 season. He carried a base salary of $5.5 million for 2011 and $7 million for 2012. He also had $500,000 in workout bonuses in each of those two seasons. He missed all but one game last season due to a biceps injury.
