Let's Go To The Movies
The world outside is scary, but sometimes necessary. I mean, you have to leave to go to the movies, right? WRONG! We here at Woot have found yet another excuse for you to just lock the door and forget about the outside world, moving us one step closer to that future Utopia where we never actually have to see each other. Home theater, baby.
Ends on December 21 at 9AM CT

In 2004, ABS Jets was established in Prague, Czech Republic. On 30th November, ABS Jets was issued an AOC, EASA Part 145 and CAMO, this signalled the moment when ABS Jets began as a business jet operator and entered the European business aviation market. The company started with 32 employees and managing two business jets, a Citation Bravo – registration OK-VSZ and its first Embraer Legacy 600 – registration OK-SLN. At that time it was decided to develop business jet operations with a view to having an ABS Jets FBO facility, including a hangar and a significant fleet of aircraft. Another development was to initiate a policy of adding one aircraft to the fleet every year. With a team of 32 employees, 2 management aircraft, rented offices and a hangar at Prague Ruzyne Airport, thus began the history of the Czech and Slovak operated ABS Jets…
ABS Jets marked another step in its development when it began managing the operations of another Embraer Legacy aircraft. ABS Jets fleet continued to grow, for in that year another Legacy 600 was delivered – registration OK-KKG. By the end of 2005, ABS Jets had approximately 45 employees, managed 3 aircraft, and had moved into the rented hangar offices of Aviation Services, where it would be for the next 2 years at Prague Ruzyne Airport.
By 2006, ABS Jets was taking great strides forward. A significant milestone in ABS Jets' history was reached with the purchase of the 3,000 m2 Hangar C from ČSA – the hangar became a major asset for ABS Jets, adding to the already considerable historical heritage of the hangar, which was built in 1937. Flight operations increased significantly in 2006, leading to achieving a remarkable 2,370 flight hours. Another new Legacy aircraft was added to the growing fleet – registration OK-SUN.
ABS Jets' growth continued rapidly in 2007. In that year, ABS Jets marked
a major achievement in its history by becoming an Embraer Authorised Service
Centre. This helped ABS Jets build on its status as a fast growing operator on
the European market. By this time the company had grown to 100 employees and
was managing a fleet of 6 business jets. With such significant steps, ABS
Jets' management made the decision to initiate a new strategic plan. A new
subsidiary was then opened in Bratislava.
Meanwhile the fleet of aircraft continued to grow when ABS Jets were chosen to receive the delivery of the 100th Legacy produced by the Embraer aircraft manufacturer – registration OK-GGG. In the same year, ABS Jets acquired its first Bombardier Business Jet, a Learjet 60XR – registration OK-JDM. The year concluded with ABS Jets posting its first year of profitable trading accounts.
In 2008 ABS Jets become certified as a flight support provider. It was also the year when the company became an Authorised FBO handling agent at Prague Ruzyne Airport. During 2008, ABS Jets achieved 10,000 flight hours and continued to expand its fleet with the addition of another Legacy aircraft – registration OK-ROM. By end of the year, the company operated from its own facilities at its Prague headquarters with a fleet of 7 aircraft, 120 employees, and plans to open an FBO in Bratislava. By expanding the ABS Jets fleet and increasing the portfolio of services the company could offer, ABS Jets became the largest business aviation operator on the Czech and Slovak markets and started to play a key role in the development of business aviation in the CEE region.
At this time ABS Jets attracted international attention when the company was
awarded "The Best company in the field of Business Aviation" by the
prestigious Overseas Living Magazine. The panel of judges recognised the high
quality of the work carried out by ABS Jets and was impressed by the wide
portfolio of services that ABS Jets had to offer. Another accolade came when ABS
Jets was named a "Preferred Handling Vendor" for Universal Weather and
Aviation for the Czech and Slovak Republics. A remarkable step in the
development of ABS Jets took place in 2009. This was when ABS Jets became the
Embraer ASR (Authorised Sales Representative) to sell Embraer Executive Jets on
the Czech and Slovak markets, including aircraft such as the Legacy 600, Phenom
100 and Phenom 300 Business Jets. This development clearly demonstrated how
ABS Jets had gained a trustworthy reputation on the international market as well
as the strengthening cooperation with Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
Yet again the fleet of aircraft continued to grow with another Legacy aircraft added to the fleet – registration OK-JNT – making ABS Jets one of the biggest Legacy operators in the region. By this point, the number of staff had grown to 150 employees. Another fulfilment of ABS Jets' plans was the opening of an FBO in Bratislava. Another accolade underlining ABS Jets' commitment to safety was an award from NBAA – the NBAA Commercial Business Flying Safety Award. This was for completing 6 years and 12,673 consecutive flying hours without accident or incident involving damage to property or injury to persons. This highly successful year concluded with ABS Jets posting a gross profit of EUR 1 million.
In 2010 ABS Jets become one of the leading European Business Jet Operators with a fleet that had grown to 11 aircraft for both commercial and private operation. This growth meant that at that stage there were nearly 200 employees, 30 of whom were in Bratislava. Another chapter opened in the history of ABS Jets when on 22nd October work commenced on the new 6,000 m2 ABS Jets Hangar N at Prague Ruzyne Airport. Meanwhile in December, construction work got underway in Slovakia on a new ABS Jets office building at Bratislava Airport, to enhance the Slovak subsidiary, which at that time was offering aircraft support services including FBO and line maintenance.
ABS Jets received other awards. An award given in the domestic market is the
CEKIA Stability Award, given to Top Czech market leaders. ABS Jets was among the
Top 7 companies in the Transport & Logistics sector and gained an AAA
rating, which is the top rating and reflects the strong business position of the
company. On the international market, ABS Jets was one of the 5 winners in the
Private Aviation category in The Fast 50 report, which was issued by The New
Europe magazine. The report recognises the world's 50-fastest-growing
In September 2011, the dream came true, with the opening of a brand new hangar, ABS Jets N at Prague Ruzyne Airport (LKPR). The new facility offers 6,000 m2 of hangar space and clearly shows the key role ABS Jets plays in the business aviation industry in the CEE region.
In this year, ABS Jets further consolidated its relationship with Embraer by renewing the Embraer Executive Jets Authorised Sales Representative contract for another 2 years.
At the beginning of the year, the ABS Jets fleet continued to grow thanks to
the delivery of a new Phenom 300.
ABS Jets celebrated another success when it was awarded an NBAA Pilot Safety Award for 5,500 flying hours without accident, incident, or damage and injury to people and property, for Štefan Kukura (ABS Jets Flight Operations Manager, Chief Pilot Legacy). The outstanding number of aircraft movements also reflected the increasing popularity of ABS Jets Executive Handling Services, when the company celebrated having handled its 7,000th aircraft since 2008.
ABS Jets has 200 employees, a fleet of 13 aircraft based in Prague and Bratislava, 2 hangars at Prague Airport with a capacity of 9,000 m2, has flown 19,938 flight hours, and has offices at Prague and Bratislava Airports. The future is good, as ABS Jets looks forward to new challenges. The highly dedicated team at ABS Jets is looking forward to achieving even more with a set of objectives to further increase and expand the company. ABS Jets has set a new series of challenges, targets, and dreams to grow and expand the company. The team looks forward to further cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers and to constantly improving services for its clients.
The ABS Jets employs nearly 200 highly skilled professionals at its bases in
Prague and Bratislava and operates fleet of 12 aircraft. ABS Jets' crews have
safely clocked 3,430 flight hours and operated 2160 flights.
ABS Jets has received national and international recognition through numerous awards for business excellence, growth and economic stability as well operator distinction and safety. An IS-BAO evaluation of the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) confirmed compliance and adherence to its standards.
The NBAA granted ABS Jets the "Commercial Business Flying Safety Award" for operating business aircraft nine years for a total of 21,177 consecutive hours without an accident involving damage to property or injury to persons and the NBAA "Aviation Support Services Safety Award" for Michal Pazourek, ABS Jets' Chief Operations Control Center, for contributing to the safety of business aircraft operations.
The MRO division has increased the number of realized projects by 37% due to the extensive range of products and services that ABS Jets can offer to its customers. An additional 1,000 m2 of hangar space was created for interior and sheet metal shops to advance and improve capacities which will extend the range of services available to customers.
New office area was created which includes a new reception, meeting and conference rooms, as well as training facilities equipped with high tech equipment apparatus.
Another Embraer Legacy 650 was added to the fleet managed aircraft.
2014 marks ABS Jets' 10th Anniversary. The company looks proudly back on a decade of outstanding performance and continuous growth that makes it an award winning, world class executive jet operator and maintenance provider that employs more than 200 highly qualified professionals at its bases in Prague and Bratislava airports. ABS Jets' flight crews have clocked 3700 flight hours and operated 2100 flights. Two Embraer Legacy 650 and Gulfstream 550 were added to the fleet of twelve business jets. Due to increased demand, the Operation Control Center (OCC) services are expanded. ABS Jets' Technical Depart¬ment increases the number of technical service projects by 19% and the milestone of an¬nual 50,000 man-hours of work has been exceeded.
- Embraer Executive Jets and ABS Jets partner up to provide technical services for all types of Embraer aircraft during the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
- A dealership agreement with Honeywell is signed.
- Russian aviation authorities certify that ABS Jets is allowed to perform maintenance on Russian RA registered aircraft.
- In cooperation with the Czech Technical University in Prague a training program on the principles of lean maintenance is implemented.
- A significant increase in number of flight planning assignments for customers coming from North America and South America is recorded. Contracts for OCC services with several clients coming from China are signed.
ABS Jets demonstrates its one-stop-shop capabilities for business jet operators and execu¬tive travelers flying to, from, or via Europe. The company once more proves its leadership and reputation as a major player in the business aviation field.

Re: Creating Matrix from vectors
Mathematica does not have "matrix" as a built-on primitive type of data
structure. To Mathematica a matrix is just a list of lists, with the
individual lists being its rows. For example,
v1 = {1, 2, 3}; v2 = {4, 5, 6};
m = {v1, v2}
And if you want to display such a list of lists to look like a
conventional matrix, wrap it in MatrixForm:
If you want to interchange "rows" with "columns", you may use Transpose:
And now if you wrap that with MatrixForm, you'll see the sort of display
you want, where the original "vectors" v1 and v2 appear as the columns.

Pico Iyer:
The art of stillness
The place that travel writer Pico Iyer would most like to go? Nowhere. In a counterintuitive and lyrical meditation, Iyer takes a look at the incredible insight that comes with taking time for stillness. In our world of constant movement and distraction, he teases out strategies we all can use to take back a few minutes out of every day, or a few days out of every season. It's the talk for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands for our world.

MX-25- Mizuno
The MX-25 iron delivers a massive sweet area along with a three dimensional "X" back cavity pad for maximum forgiveness on off-center hits and increased solid feel. No other iron can offer this game improvement technology while maintaining the solid, soft feel that comes only from a Mizuno Grain Flow Forged Iron.
timrabara1975 - 2/15/12
I love these Irons, I've def improved my game..I can't switch to anything else I traded these in for some R9's...NIGHT AND DAY Difference, went back and got these and regripped with MC golfpride...MIzunos are the BEST!!!!!!!!!
SticStigler - 6/27/08
Hit Fricken Bombs \'specially with the rifles
TaylorFade - 4/24/08
5 stars. Look great, feel like butter, and almost a whole club longer than my TM 300's; and not because they are bent strong like most irons are today, they just have more mass where you need it. There simply is no better iron on the market than Mizuno. Made in the USA and grain-flow forged. Sweet.
It was between these or the R7's and after playing a round with these the choice was clear. Workable (if that's your thing), forgiving, low COG. Unless you are a 5 or better and need a blade, you can not go wrong with these irons.
I gave them 4 stars for value because the R7's and I think the X-20's are about 100 bucks cheaper, but hello? you won't find a niceer forged iron for the money.

If it's not one thing it's another. Terms always change. Five years ago the words eBooks drew giant question marks in writer's heads. It's important to learn to be flexible with Publishing terms. They will change "like the weather." My best advice is to get yourself a subscription to Writer's Digest or Publishers Marketplace. Magazines like these will help you keep up with the fluxuation in terms. These are good investments in your writing career. You'll glean lots of helpful tips on writing as well as contests and places for submissions. There are four things I consider excellent investments. 1) writers magazines and books 2)Christian Writers Market Guide 3)Purchasing conference tapes and cd's 4)Paid critiques from professionals at conferences. You will gain such insight and information from these things.
Below you will find a rather lengthy but very useful list of publishing terms. The definitions are simple and require little to no further explanation. Read them. Study. Get to know what they mean and how to utilize them in your career, then be prepared with the industry flip-flops and adds new jargon.
Publishing Lingo
Terms change like the weather. Always keep up with the trends through publishing magazines, writers' blogs, publishing sites, and agency sites. Here's a few to help get you started.
An agent is that intermediary person whose job it is to sell, contract, and protect the rights of their writers. Agents used to be optional. Not anymore. In recent years, agents have become the gatekeepers for publishers, filtering out weaker writing and only submitting strong and vibrant manuscripts. Most agents contract writers at 15% of the royalties of a contracted book.
Shopping a manuscript is when the agent searches out and submits manuscripts to the appropriate publishing houses.
Publisher or House
The company who purchases the manuscripts and publishes them.
Traditional or Royalty Publisher
This company takes a risk and absorbs the expense of publishing a book. In years past, publishers offered an advance for work before it was actually sold. In today's economy, advances are becoming a thing of the past. There are still publishers who offer them, but the trend is moving those advances to the established authors with a good track record of sales. As a rule, the publisher will offer the author an advance and a percentage of each book sold at regular price.
Vanity Publisher or Self-Publishing Company
This is where the author assumes the risk and expense of publishing a book. Plain and simple: If you, the author, PAY a company any money what-so-ever, you are self-publishing.
Subsidy or Partnership Publishing
These are companies who share the cost of publishing a book with the author. These companies may require you to purchase a certain amount of books after publication. But again, when you pay money to a publisher…you are self-publishing. Despite the fact subsidy companies will say they are not self-publishers, they are walking the gray line and in essence, are. If YOU pay, you are publishing your book at your own expense.
POD Publisher
Here, the author assumes the risk and expense of publishing the book, but can order smaller quantities of books – sometimes as little as a single book at a time.
E-book Publisher
These companies format and make a book available in an online digital format. Any publisher can provide this service for their contracted books.
A short term for Publishing House or Company.
A general term for someone who looks at manuscripts. The wide assortment of Editors includes: Acquisition Editors, Copy Editors, Managing Editors, and Senior Editors.
These individuals most generally work for publishers, managing the composition of the book alongside the author.
Pub Board or Committee
These are the committees within the publishing house who come together and decide what manuscripts will receive contracts. This is a compilation of acquisitions editors, marketing, sales, and finance groups.
Elevator Pitch
A short, 60-90 second speech. Think back to a book text. Generally this is what the reader will see that draws them in and makes them want to read your book.
Query Letter
Letter submitted with a book pitch. Editors will read these first to see if the manuscript fits into their genre, need, and criteria.
Cover Letter
Letter submitted along with a manuscript with a brief introduction of the author, a 25-50 word blurb about the manuscript, and contact information of the agent.
Contains the 25, 50 and/or 100 word book blurb, marketing comparisons, synopsis, bio, one sheet, author's intentions of marketing, and first fifty pages of the manuscript. A proposal is a look at the author and the manuscript as a package.
Author Bio/Writing History
The author's credentials, credits, and photo.
Chapter Outline
Found in non-fiction proposals. This is a brief run-down of each chapter.
Found in both fiction and non-fiction (according to publisher request) but primarily for fiction manuscripts to show the editors and publishers the plot and characters of the story. A synopsis is the full novel narrowed into 1 1/2 pages. It has to be the complete novel summarized perfectly.
Marketing Plan
What the author can/will do to sell the book.
Comparable Works
Other works similar to the author's that will help publishers see where the WIP will fit.
Target Audience
The group of readers the WIP will interest.
Short blurbs from reputable authors, readers, or industry players who have read the WIP and can state the WIP is well written and interesting.
Word Count
Number of words in the manuscript
Tagline or Hook
One sentence in fifteen words or less. This is not your synopsis. Your tag line or hook needs to be that one line that grabs the reader and makes them say, "Wow, I want to read that book." A good tag line will draw the reader in quickly, make them curious, and get them to ask, "Why should I read this and more so, why should I care?"
The 60-90 second statement that summarizes the WIP to publishers and agents.
The group of people the author reaches through speaking, previous writing, or through organizations.
The type of story.
Join us later for Part 4 – Appointment Etiquette with Agents/Editors.

The end of the Cold War in 1989 ushered in a more stable world shaped by an irresistible combination of capitalism and liberalism. But did it? New wars in failing states, the spread of nuclear weapons, rising terrorism, and in 2008 the great financial crash, all pointed to an international system where the certainties of a 20th Century Cold War had given way to a new century full of uncertainty and danger.

High School: McKinney (Tx) High School
Class: 2014
Position: WR
Size: 5'10/150
Recruiting: The speedy slot receiver now holds offers from Nebraska, California, Houston and Texas State. Having taken 45 catches for 789 yards and a team-high 10 scores last fall, and with his performance last month at the U.S. Army All-American Combine, things only look to heat up.
He recently attended Oklahoma State and Texas State junior days.
"We are not sure what other junior days he will attend, but he has Cal, Arizona State, Boise State and Louisiana-Lafayette over the next few weeks," said his father A.C. "Nebraska has asked him to come up on an unofficial either March 9 or 10, and Cal is looking to get him to visit fairly soon."
"Basically, with travel, track and workouts, we are just trying to see what makes sense so that the process stays pleasant… T.V. is taking every offer and opportunity seriously and giving the respect and attention each deserves; appreciating and respecting the process and the coaching staffs' time and effort."
(Williams also holds junior day invites from LSU, Washington State, SMU and UTSA.)

Recent survey reveals edtech falling short
While budgetary constraints have no doubt affected K-12 & higher education institutions, a new self assessment survey of educational technology use conducted by SIIA reveals schools are holding steady when it comes to technology use anyway. However, they'd like to be doing even better.
The organization's "2012 SIIA Vision K-20 Survey," the fourth in an annual series of benchmarking studies, surveyed nearly 1,700 officials representing all levels of K-20 education.

How do you protect more than 80,000 people from an odorless, colorless threat that could kill them within minutes? That was the challenge facing the Oregon communities neighboring the U.S. Army's Umatilla Chemical Depot, one of eight national chemical weapons depots stockpiling mustard gas and other deadly munitions.
Their response to this threat may be one of the most comprehensive and technically innovative evacuation control systems in the nation. By 2004, local officials had created a massive wireless network, a series of "overpressurized" shelters, a software modeling program that tracks airborne chemicals and a tone-alert radio system that sounds voice messages during a hazard.
From perches in any of three command centers, officials can override the lights and signs on local highways, activate drop-arm barricades, and update message signs in Spanish and English. With the flip of a switch, emergency management officials can direct residents out of the local area if there's a chemical leak, and monitor roadways via remote-controlled cameras. The evacuation system also includes a video-conferencing setup that enables officials to converse in real time with officials from other parts of Oregon and with first responders working in the field.

"We didn't have the time like you would during a conventional evacuation, like a hurricane, to spend two days getting people ready and setting up roads they would take," said Casey Beard, director of the Morrow County Emergency Management Agency, which operates one of the region's three command centers. "We had to be able to instantly reconfigure our transportation network to move people away from the threat area."
The International Association of Chiefs of Police gave the system an Innovations and Technology award in 2006, and it was a finalist in 2007 for the Innovation in American Government Award by Harvard University's Ash Institute.
"What we have here that's unique is an elaborate evacuation control system that is activated by Wi-Fi," said Chris Brown, program manager of Oregon's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program. "We've established a series of portable message boards, we have fixed message boards, and swing-arm barricades that can be dropped -- all [deployed] through a Wi-Fi signal. It can activate messages to inform the public about either moving within the response zone or evacuating."
Approximately 1,000 square miles of north-central Oregon, specifically Morrow and Umatilla counties, is protected by the Wi-Fi network. That coverage zone includes the Umatilla Chemical Depot, as well as nearby cities Umatilla and Hermiston. The depot is part of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, which is a partnership between the Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to safely store chemical weapons.
The Umatilla Depot is slated for closure per the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure act, so all of the chemicals and chemical weapons stored there must be destroyed by 2012. A good portion of the munitions -- including sarin-filled bulk containers; 500-pound and 750-pound bombs; rockets; warheads; and land mines -- already have been destroyed. But a supply of mustard gas remains onsite and will take a few years to incinerate. Therefore, drills and tests of the evacuation system continue, some done twice a day.
Local officials, including Morrow County's Beard and Hermiston, Ore., Police Chief Daniel Coulombe, enlisted a local innovator, Fred Ziari, for help. As founder and CEO of ezWireless, Ziari developed irrigation technology to save water and electricity for Columbia River basin farmers.

HazMat Experts and Firefighters petition Dow Chemical and Union Pacific for safe rail tank cars transporting gas chlorine. Secondary containment is a necessary improvement that must be implemented. See--PETITION C KIT for First Responders Comments.
TOXIC TRAIN SAFETY - A First Responders Petition caused The Chlorine Institute to conduct a five-month study comparing the safety of secondary containment to the chlorine "C"-Kit for chlorine tank cars. The study proved secondary containment to be, by far, the safest technology for containing and preventing releases of chlorine gas. To see secondary containment - search "CHLORTANKER."
WARNING: FIRST RESPONDERS' use of THE CHLORINE INSTITUTE "C" KIT may cause the catastrophic failure of a chlorine tank car, instantly creating a toxic gas plume with a distance of not less than seven miles. The first mile will have chlorine concentrations of 1,000 ppm, causing death after one or two breaths with no opportunity for escape.

FLORENCE---The Drs. Bruce & Lee Foundation of Florence has endowed a $100,000 faculty chair in chemistry at Francis Marion University. The gift is part of the university's five-year, $12 million Campaign for Excellence.
Bradley Callicott, executive director of the Bruce & Lee Foundation, said his organization was pleased to be able to support the university through this gift which was part of its 2001 grants distribution.
"The university already has a strong chemistry program," he said, evident of the high percentage of its students who pursue careers in the health professions. "This gift will ensure that continued success by strengthening its chemistry faculty."
"As a discipline, the study of chemistry is critical to multiple fields of endeavor," said FMU President Fred Carter. "The establishment of the endowed chair in chemistry assures the continued level of academic excellence through the provision of additional research opportunities for key faculty who, in turn, impact the lives of so many future students."
Provost Richard Chapman said the endowed chair will enhance the Department of Chemistry by supporting the teaching and research activities of the chair holder. He said this gift will provide the university the opportunity to better prepare its graduates for the many professional activities supported by the study of chemistry.
Funds derived from the annual earnings on the gift will be used to supplement a faculty member's salary and enable that faculty member more opportunities to pursue research and scholarship.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 1336854:MV8xODQzNjQ4XzMwNzQwMzAxXzIwQTcwQjlE] [quote:Oath:MV8xODQzNjQ4XzMwNzQwMjM3X0UzMkI5NzVD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1336854:MV8xODQzNjQ4XzMwNzQwMDk1X0Y0NEVDQTk0] [quote:Oath:MV8xODQzNjQ4XzMwNzM5NzI3XzMzRDNGNzZD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 14472705:MV8xODQzNjQ4XzMwNzM4ODk4X0YzNzgxMzZF] Really? Am I the negative one? I invite the readers (whether they post or remain mute) to re-read what I posted. During 6 pages people have critized O.P. saying he/she is an idiotic person who is spreading fear out of ignorance and lack of tolerance to other religions. Than a page or two ago I asked: [i]"really, and what do you really know about Reiki, as a matter of fact who knows something to tell us?" [/i]and then your provocative reactions toward O.P became like the ones [i]"offended" [/i]by me because I say you don't really know and I kept asking 3 or 4 times and the responses make evidence the naïve attitude of believing the healing comes from Almighty or Universe but can't answer my questions in detail! Or even confused the healings perform from one civilization thinking is the same as other or related with the same beings. Then another one posted verses of the Bible promoting himself/herself as an agent of Christian whichever church and I asked:[i] "really? What do you think you know about Christ transfiguration?"[/i] I could've asked him/her about the witch from Endor and Samuel ghost as well but I prefered not, just to dodge a sub-sub-subtopic. The issue here is most of you, people, come here to provide your answers like anyone else, but provide an exercise of free thought based upon nothing except ignorance or points of view. Anyone can give a response saying "I believe this or that". I came to say, [i]"really, why so?"[/i] and of course, ignorance hurts you deep, down in the marrow. Ignorance is not an insult. It's a fact. Everyone is ignorant in something. Nobody understands everything. I am ignorant in many things. But I don't come here pretending I know about something and making easy and quick criticism about O.P. The fact is few of you even HEARD the videos and the ones who did it, they [u][b][color=darkred]DON'T WANNA LISTEN OR PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACT MANY HEALERS HAVE BEEN TRICKED AND ARE PASSING THROUGH PERSONAL JEOPARDY DUE TO REIKI[/color][/b][/u]. You can ignore the warnings at will if you want. It's your prerrogative but in doing so you become deceivers as well. To hide important relevant information that could damage people is EVIL and I do warn you now, if some of Reiki healers DO KNOW INDEED IN MANY CASES THERE IS REAL DAMAGE due to whatever practices and you shut up, you're guilty as hell. That insults you? Well, I'm glad to do it and I'm all ears and eyes if there's someone among you willing to say the [i]truthallthetruthandnothingbutthetruthsohelpyougod.[/i] [/quote] It was a Familiar spirit not Samuel, I saw gods ascending out of the earth (we know what comes out of the earth), Saul perceived that it was Samuel (it was not Samuel). 1 Samuel 28:5-7 King James Version (KJV) "And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled." "And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets." [b]"Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor."[/b] 1 Samuel 28:9-14 King James Version (KJV) "And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?" "And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing." [b]"Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee?[/b] And he said, Bring me up Samuel." "And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul." "And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, [b]I saw gods ascending out of the earth." [/b] "And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. [b]And Saul perceived that it was Samuel[/b], and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself." Those dead are sleeping not running around as spirits. 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 King James Version (KJV) "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed," "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" No speaking to the dead, it is not the dead you are speaking to (Necromancy). Deuteronomy 18:10-12 King James Version (KJV) "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch." "Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a [b]necromancer[/b]." "For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee." I would say God took Moses and his body to heaven (not into the earth to be brought back up like Samuel) Jude 1:9 King James Version (KJV) "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." Luke 9:30-31 King James Version (KJV) "And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:" "Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem." [/quote] Rule one of any attempt to prove your case: Do not use the document being questioned as the only evidence. Application: The major flaw in religion is using the holy books of that religion as the only source of authority. Without additional evidence, it cannot hold up. There is much mystery in the world. There are things science has yet to explain. This doesn't mean there is an all powerful deity causing it to happen. This doesn't mean there isn't. What it means is that the evidence is inconclusive. So long as we allow dogma to influence our daily decisions we will forever be slaves of the unknown. [/quote] As a believer in Christ Jesus it is my only source of authority. 2 Peter 1:20-21 King James Version (KJV) "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." [/quote] I don't recognize your authority or your gods. So, we have reached an impasse. [/quote]

Well, they'll have to gleam with envy just a bit longer because it appears that the 7" tablet will be launching some time in September – according to Acer Germany's response to an inquisitive Facebook fan. As we all know, it was initially expected to roll out back in the spring, but since then, we've seen the tablet's release being pushed to the second half of the year – and of course, the September time frame fits in perfectly. Still, the company hasn't divulged any reasons in regards to its delay.
Nevertheless, it's still being reported to being on track of having Android 3.2 Honeycomb when it's release – albeit, Google warned that the interface isn't meant to run on smaller display sizes. Moreover, the A100 will share a lot of hardware similarities with its fuller sibling – like the same NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU and dual cameras. In terms of memory, it's looking to size up with 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage – though, there will also be a 16GB version as well.

Happy Thursday!
Hope you are well, my day is SUNNY and happy over here in Minneapolis. I am running my third half marathon this weekend at the Med City marathon in Rochester Minnesota! I have my running outfit all ready to go, and I even have a sign all ready for my mom to hold while I run!
A sign? YEP!
A big sign that Build a sign dot com sent me for FREE!!
I was able to upload my own picture, design the sign with whatever I wanted on it and even chose the material!! I chose just a corrugated plastic, not aluminum. The plastic sign is double sided as the aluminum, although more resilient was only single sided.
It's is huge and very sturdy! Uploading and designing it was extremely easy and fun and it shipped to me in about 4 days. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get a detailed, truly custom sign! AND They sent me bumper stickers!! One set for Fit this, girl blog readers and one set for my Personal Training and Wellness Coaching business: Temple Training and Wellness!
WOW, they are wonderful, I love them!! Get your own FREE Bumper sticker from them HERE!
Do you want a Fit this, Girl bumper sticker? Send me your mailing address and I will send one out! Be Fit, have faith, have fun!!
Have Faith: Twitter Chat
Speaking of having faith, I wanted to remind everyone that every other Wednesday I am hosting a Faith and Fitness Chat on twitter, just log on and follow the hashtag #FitFaithchat to talk about how our fitness and our faith intertwine, interact and affect our whole lives.
For me, fitness is a way of life and faith is a way of life too, there aren't too many area's of my life where one or both don't exist or even dominate! I feel called to be fit and healthy so that I can step up and be the best I can be. God has a wonderful life planned out for me and I am called to be ready and able to follow that path, to walk that narrow road (or run it!), to be the woman I am in Christ--not lacking, not faltering and not fearing!
No one said it would be easy.
Is it easy to get up and go for a run when I am tired or it's raining? No! Is it easy to lift at the gym or do a boot camp when I am exhausted or have a mile long to do list? No. But I do it, because I love it, because it betters me, because I CAN.
Is it easy to stand by my beliefs when people tell me I am too vocal about God? No. Is it easy to speak up, even as a lone voice when you know that you can't be silent about what is right & wrong or simply about how GOOD God is? No. But if I do it because God is SO good to me, I love him, he betters me and because I will honor him!
No one said you would win every fight.
Some runs are hard, some days it's an uphill climb just to maintain a healthy lifestyle and not slip back. But fitness and health is not an overnight job, it's a lifetime work--it's a LIFE STYLE...we spend our lives investing in it. Some days we lose the fight, but we keep on. In the end, we will win, it's a marathon after all not a sprint.
Even looking back this week I can see trials and struggles in my faith walk and to some people it may look like I am fighting a losing battle! But just because a few fights along the way don't turn out in your favor, GOD causes good to come from it. I may not win every fight, I may end up with some scuffed knees, but the battle is already won. So when I fall and get back up, I smile knowing I will never stay down!
No one said you would ALWAYS have a cheering section.
I will have some family at my race this weekend, but there have been plenty of early morning races, cold races, hard races where I go alone, run alone and hobble back alone. Single girl runner lifestyle! Not a huge cheering section, no hubs and kids at the finish line. But, I don't do it for that. I do it for me. I am my own cheering section and I do it because it's worth it even when NO ONE is at the finish line.
Being a person of faith isn't always popular, I don't have a ton of people backing me up and cheering me on. Sure I have people who admire and support, I get WONDERFUL emails from readers and supporters, but the cheering section is a small one as I run the race set before me. For me? I keep going, for the JOY set before me is knowing my Savior is at the finish line. He is there holding my sign, he is waiting for me, watching for me to round that corner STRONG and a winner!
He is the reason I run, He is the reason I CAN run and He is all the push I need.
A friend of mine asked me, how I GET all the stuff to review, try and give away on my blog. I told her, it's Gods favor! He is just showering us with love and goodness. Thanks to Build a Sign for seeking me out, but thanks to God for all the blessings. Life is SO good... just remember:
Have a happy Thursday!
Remember to follow me on Twitter and to take part in the #FitFaithchat June 1st, June 15th, June 29th!

The Importance of the WMA Visitor Use Permit
By Brad Holder, Northwest WMA Biologist
Be legal and help the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks help our natural resources and you, the outdoor enthusiast. If you've visited a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in the past, you may be familiar with the Daily Visitor Use Permit Card. You can find Daily Visitor Use Permit Cards at permit stations located at, or near, entrances to all of Mississippi's WMAs. This daily permit is an important tool in the management of these areas. Managers are able to gather harvest and use data for all species and activities on a particular WMA. This supports management recommendations on all aspects of that area. From a wildlife management standpoint, the information you and your fellow WMA users provide on the cards gives wildlife biologists valuable data on which to base management decisions regarding season structure, bag limits, and habitat management.
This past hunting season we began compiling harvest and use data obtained from permit cards on a daily basis and posting these numbers on our website each week. Now, during hunting seasons, you can monitor current harvest and use numbers for each WMA.
The Daily Visitor Use Permit Card also supports your personal safety. If an emergency arises while you're in the woods, or you get lost in the pursuit of your prey, area managers and conservation officers will be better able to quickly determine your location on an area if you have complied with permit card requirements. This may not seem like such a big deal on some of the smaller areas, but if you are on a 60,000 acre area with multiple entrances, it could make a critical difference.
Our staff needs quality and quantity when it comes to Daily Visitor Use Permit Card data. The more information we receive, the better we can manage the resource and the user public. The daily permit cards must be completed properly to provide the most accurate data. Please fill out all of the information requested and print legibly. Each year we gather a large number of cards that are incomplete and unusable.
The correct procedure is simple:
Here are some more tips to remember when completing Daily Visitor Use Permit cards:
With your help, MDWFP wildlife managers will continue to be good stewards of natural resources on WMAs. Introduce someone to hunting and fishing. Maybe we'll bump into you at a visitor permit station.

Sunshine on a Grand Rapids Wedding Day
Meeting Cara & her Mom at a Biggby Coffee (Michigan-based!) was an appropriate spot since this girl loves her coffee. Starbucks normally, but anywhere good she said. On top of starting her day that way, she of course offered Starbucks grounds as favors for her guests. Now THAT'S a wedding favor!
Cara + Michael's wedding was easily the best way we could have started the 2012 season. Fun-loving, happy, and excited to have us there (almost as excited as we were to be there), it made the go so smoothly for everyone involved. We even lost track of time at their reception! They were just non-stop fun, and completely ecstatic just to be with each other after living so far apart for so long. I love seeing a couple put a cap on a long distance relationship by getting married and finally being able to be together.
This is just a small teaser of what's to come. It was hard to select what made it in to this small sample when we had such an amazing day to share.
Congratulations Cara + Michael!

The linkage program assists persons living with HIV that are aware of their status, persons who have newly tested HIV positive, and persons who are not currently accessing HIV/AIDS care. The program goal is to increase the number of people who know their HIV status, to increase the number of HIV positive persons linked to care, to increase the number of people retained in care and on antiretroviral therapy, and maintaining a suppressed viral load. The Linkage Team has worked to redefine the culture of those who serve HIV-infected persons, to enlist everyone in the spectrum of services, (case managers, medical providers, prevention providers, etc.) to link those with HIV to medical care. We invite community providers, consumers, patient care advocates, clinical staff and others to be a part of the Linkage Team as we assist HIV-infected individuals to find a medical home.
Peer Navigator Program
Peer Navigators are trained individuals from the community, who are living with HIV/AIDS. They serve as valuable members of the health care team, promoting linkage, medical adherence, and retention. Peer navigators are present at the initiation of services, and guide clients through each step of the process. Navigators provide a variety of services including: education on the basics of HIV/AIDS, connecting clients to needed services, assisting with appointment reminders, and serving as a liaison between clients and health care providers. Navigators offer strategies on medication adherence, self-care, and offer emotional support.
Currently, there are four Peer Navigator Programs funded by the Prevention Program, HIV/AIDS & Hepatitis Section. The programs are located in Duval, Alachua, Orange, and Palm Beach Counties. To learn more about one of the programs, please visit: http://peer.hdwg.org/peerprograms/boulevard

Philips' admittedly lovely Luxe MP3 player is a curiosity. At $95 for a scant 2GB, it's far pricier than its competition, and the one-line LED screen isn't going it any favors either.
Where it tries to separate itself from the competition is with its novel Bluetooth function: it will pair with your phone and cut your music and display the caller ID number on its display when a call comes in, allowing you to answer the call on your device with its dual mikes.
That's pretty neat, but I'm guessing in the age of iPhone and the Android we're going to see phones get increasingly sophisticated audio playback functions, with built-in earbud headsets. This bridge device is all too likely to be a redundant gizmo of the status quo in the next year or so.

In Reply to: Re: Finally dropped the coin on a DEQX ... posted by hemholtz on December 10, 2006 at 04:22:42:
Hi Bart,
I am running on a 2006 Dell Precision Mobile Workstation M90. It is configured with XP Pro (1st problem =), 4GB memory, 2.16GHz dual-core Centrino, USB2, Gigabit ethernet, 802.11 A/B/G WiFi, 1920x1200x32bit color 17" display and 7200RPM 8MB cache hard drive. It is a pretty capable laptop (until the quad cores hit the mobile market). I live on this laptop running XP Pro and various flavors of Linux (Fedora Core). The only other times I have gotten blue screens was using an M-Audio external USB2 sound card.
I get quite a few crashes, exceptions, etc. running the DEQX softare that want to kick me into Microsoft's developer studio debugger. I haven't been able to run for long without it crashing on me or throwing an exception. At least once per sitting. Maybe they should run it trough Purify to clean up some of the exceptions. I don't get this type of behavior with MS Office or my development software I use on a daily basis.
So I am learning more about the software with repetition. I have been re-reading the manuals, re-taking mesurements and comparing them to past measurements. I catch errors that I make and move onto the next generation. I tried a triamp configuration, but it would not let me put in a crossover point lower than 100Hz. I guess I have to stick with the bi-amp + sub, unless I throw the Bryston 10 back in the mix like what you did.
I tried the subs in the corners of the room (which implies adding timing delays into the mix). I then tried the subs next to the Maggies to eliminate the time delay settings and treat Maggiis and the subs as a pair of quad-way speakers. I think I am going to keep it this way. Should make for better balancing through the whole room and not just the sweet spot.
I need to check out the etf5. Always good to get a 2nd non-biased set of readings to confirm your setup and the other software. I see some reading deltas between my left and right speakers that are most likely caused by a-symetric room decor and furniture. I am taking more readings and doing the process of elimination to eliminate nasties from the readings.
I just got my digital ICE Power amp back to drive the subs today. The measurements are coming out better than what I was using before to drive the subs. A friend has a pair of Maggie 20's that he wanted to test the ICE POWER amps on and had it for the last month so I was using an old receiver's amp section to drive the subs.
I noticed that I have to turn up my pre-amp a lot more with having the DEQX inline. I must be reserving some of the gain to allow individual gain boosts/cuts on each one of the outputs.
Just found the "Solo" buttons this evening. I nice feature to isolate solo channels/bands without having to move from your listening position.
Thanks for your help.
Follow Ups:
bsod is bad. from my experience it is usually hardware. are you running software version 2.01 and firmware 58_11? those are the latest "release" versions. there are more recent "beta" version that fix specific issues that some folks are having. i never really noticed any if you are following the wizard (measure> correct> configure). if you're getting different readings from right and left speakers the room is probably to blame. you can try moving them to the center of the room or the furthest point from a room boundary. i just treated the crap out of the front wall to clean up the impulse response. i can't recall whether they let you see the impulse response of right and left separately, but it's very important that it's clean ie no early reflections. when taking measurements i use a yard stick to place the mic. with one end touching the wood between midrange and tweeter and the other end pointed right at the listening position touching the business end of the mic. i figure this should phase the drivers the best. for the final tweak i check phase with etf5 from the listening position and adjust toe in slightly if phase wanders a little. if phase decreases as frequency increases move tweeter closer to listening position.
i really like etf5 for tuning the bass and placing the subs. the low frequency spectral decay view lets you look at not only amplitude but more importantly time. flat response is good but bad decay is ruins everything. i found the lower i can play the maggies the better. i currently highpass to the mains at 45hz and lowpass to subs at 40hz 24db linkwitz-riley . i spent considerable time on the parametric eq to fix low frequency problems. if this ends up being the case for you, make sure you save the eq settings to your project on the hard drive, then back it up. if you save your project it remembers the eq settings, but if you open the project later, change the eq, then close it without saving, the changes are only on the pdc2.6. just something to remember.
I tried hooking the 3.6's and Sub up as a Tri-amp system last night and did multiple room measurements by adjusting the XO point between the Sub and 3.6's up and down. The smoothest room response for me came at 45Hz. Lower and I got holes, higher and I got anomalies showing up in the graph. Since then, I switched back to Bi-amp + stereo sub mode. I left it @ 45Hz, but can now specifiy different points with this configuration.
Thanks for the offline help. The articles fixed the gain problems for me.
Curious thing, I have the TrueRTA software from www.trueaudio.com and it shows different rolloffs on the 3.6's than what the DEQX software does. The TrueRTA indicates that the 3.6's extend lower than what the DEQX indicates. Don't know whose software readings to believe.
are both microphones calibrated? i would go with the calibrated one. each deqx mic is calibrated and comes with it's own cal file to plug into the software. once you identify the problem room modes and make necessary cuts and boosts to "kill" the resonances and restore the nulls, you can worry about a few db's of rolloff. i chose 45hz because in my room i could not get my subs to behave as well as the maggies above this frequency. there is definitely something to be said for dipole bass. for the modes use 1/6 octave or tighter cuts and boosts to pinpoint the frequency without disturbing what doesn't need to be disturbed. for a little rolloff you will want a nice wide boost, say 1/3 octave.
My 1st/TrueRTA mic is the same Behringer ECM 8000 mic that comes with the DEQX, but it did not come with any calibration files. The one for the DEQX has a calibration file.
I need to check if the TrueRTA can use the same calibration file. If so, I will use the same mic for both apps.
i had an extra behringer mic that came with an ultracurve. i used the same cal file with both mics and didn't see (or hear) much difference. perhaps the placement of the mic wasn't precisely the same in both measurements? that will probably make a bigger difference than the cal file.
on a somewhat related note, store your mic in the case in a quiet place. i left mine sitting out in my equipment rack for a some time only to find out it it had failed. possibly due to prolonged exposure to loud music? anyways, a new calibrated one from deqx is about $80.

The Problems of Work on DVD Earns Telly Award
Golden Era Productions was presented a Telly Award for The Problems of Work on DVD.
The Problems of Work on DVD was honored Monday, June 13, with a Bronze Telly Award for Charitable/Not-for-profit films, the second coveted industry award presented this month to the 66-minute filmed presentation of L. Ron Hubbard [4]'s book The Problems of Work—Scientology Applied to the Workaday World.
Produced by Golden Era Productions, the central dissemination center of the Scientology religion, The Problems of Work film on DVD is drawn directly from the pages of L. Ron Hubbard's book, illustrating basic Scientology principles for use in everyday life.
"All eight of the individual film chapters vividly illustrate the book's principles and demonstrate its procedures for immediate application," says Catherine Fraser, Director of Public Affairs for Golden Era Productions. "It contains the senior principles and laws that apply to every endeavor, every problem of work—discoveries which lay bare the core of these problems and explain the very fabric of life itself."
The film is the centerpiece of an introductory Scientology course offered in every Scientology Church and Mission. To make the knowledge broadly available, the DVD has been translated and produced in 15 languages.
Among the Scientology principles presented in the film are the triangle of Affinity, Reality and Communication [11], which are the Components of Understanding; the Anatomy of Confusion; the Anatomy of Control; the Secret of Efficiency; and the underlying mental and spiritual reasons for exhaustion and their remedy.
The Telly Awards [12], established in 1978, has the mission of strengthening the visual arts community by inspiring, promoting, and supporting creativity. Today, the Telly is one of the most sought-after awards by industry leaders, from large international firms to local production companies and ad agencies. The 32nd Annual Telly Awards received over 11,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.
On June 1, 2011, Golden Era Productions was also honored with an Indie Fest Award of Merit [13] for The Problems of Work film on DVD. Golden Era Productions has earned 58 national and international awards for its films, documentaries, public service announcements and websites.

Burr depends on some things:1) big gap between boxes2) Hive is full of honey. Then bees add burr everywhere.3) Some strains are eager to make burr than others. Burr is a nuisance. I doupt tha some one has planned it.
I plan it.The permacomb is designed to create burr comb from the bottom of the frame to the top of the next frame.
I always take late season burr comb as a sigh that the bees have sufficient stores.
Reading and learning!!!!!It is amazing how actual experience goes against all the books I read.
Can't help but to chime in...You have all heard that there are bee keepers and bee have-rs? Pictures of those hives are definitely from a bee have-r! I can't believe that anybody would go so far as to brag about it and claim that that mes was planed?
I would be ashamed to open a hive and see mess like that! Newer mind somebody else seeing it!
Don't show us the links from MB. If he talks about it, it does not make it a "mast copy!" First it should be pondered if it was meant, for what we saw above?
IMO, that is sure not what he talks about, when he mentions that bees build burr as a step to upper frames. Bee-ladders are totally diferent thing and should not be mixed with that mess. Hive like you are showing, is honey bound and has of course nothing to do with checking for mites. MB don't check for mites between combs!? He claims that he probably has them, but they are not a problem and he don't think about them! He is on natural system and mites and other miladies are the least of his worry.
He is also a self proclaimed "lazy man" and a lot of stuff he has is OK by him - but not necessarily a "must-have" for others!
A hive in picture probably already swarmed. If not - it will! If that is your standard - they probably swarm more than once?!
If that hive is in a region where bees need to cluster - that one is a goner! Bees need open comb to cluster when cold hits. And don't nobody say they will eat it and make room? Yes, they will make room but for spring! Those won't make it in cold country cause they need cluster room now!
And you said that you leave all that, that the way it is?I feel sorry for your bees!
When comb is torn like this? Bees congregate on it to clean the honey, save the brood and repair the destruction. A traumatic experience for the bees, to say the least!
Now, all that said. You than take the box and put it back? No matter how careful or gentle you maneuver might be? In that single process you squish hundreds, if not thousands of innocent bees.
Talking about them frames being made for this purpose? So bees have someplace to build drone-comb? Bull!
Get an empty frame for that purpose. (Drone-catcher) If money is an issue - cut the corners off the frames. (comb only) Bees themselves make holes in wax for that purpose, for ease of passage if nothing else...
Or, frames are not of proper size, or the boxes aren't?The top mess is inches thick? Not planed! IMO you don't know that you need an inner cover or you don't have one cause MB don't have one? Whatever the cause/reason? No excuses for mess like that!
I must apologise to the rest of you for my carry-on. I see too much of wrong stuff going on and if nobody chimes in and/or criticise - the newbies surely think that that is the cool way to go - and copy it in their own practice. I know of one beek, and I use this term loosely, who thinks that MB is GOD...?! Don't get me wrong now? He is a good man, (MB is) and a good beek and I personally have a lot of respect for his knowledge - only his practice is not my cup of tea. My motto is: "If it is worth doing - do it right! Or don't do it at all!"
Now, when somebody opens up a hive and the frames are nice and clean - now, that is a sight to behold. A sure sign of a good beekeeper, who has self respect, respect for his craft and more importantly - he/she treats bees with care and respect that they deserve! ( For we all know that poor buggers have enough problems, thanks to all of us. So, why compound it??!!) Somebody like that can brag to his heart's content ! I have no problem with that at all....
I've never heard of Ontario being called the 'tropics' :evil:

Does anyone really need an excuse to try a Tyler Florence recipe? No, not really, but joining Tyler Florence Fridays has made sure that I do more than just drool over his cookbooks! This recipes came from Tyler Florence's Real Kitchen: An Indispensable Guide for Anybody Who Likes to Cook page 31. This cookbook contains one of my tried and true favorites for collard greens, and I love the meatloaf. But for my inaugural entry for this event I wanted to try something new.
I have to say that this was utterly amazing. Perfect in every way. I would have never, ever even thought that I would like something called smashed broccoli. But it was the perfect backdrop for the chicken. As a matter of fact, it might just be my new very favorite way to make broccoli. And the chicken, what can I say about the chicken? It was filled with flavor and the aroma while it was baking was incredible. I marinated it over night, since I barely have time to prepare myself in the morning, much less a marinade!
Herb-and-Lemon-Roasted Chicken with Smashed Broccoli and Garlic
(no changes, this is all Tyler!)
1 1/4 hours to make + 5 hours to marinate
Give yourself plenty of time to marinate the chicken; I usually do this the morning I plan to serve it. The smashed broccoli and garlic remind me of the soft, overcooked vegetables of my youth. It's mushy and satisfying. To me, chicken and broccoli is a classic combination that doesn't need rice or potatoes to go with-it's perfect the way it is.
Serves 2
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon, peeled in big strips
4 garlic cloves, smashed
4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 lemon, sliced in paper-thin circles
2 bone-in chicken breasts, 8 ounces each, skin on
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Chicken Stock
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes
5 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 bunch broccoli, about 1 pound, including stems, coarsely chopped
1 cup Chicken Stock
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Start by marinating the chicken because it will take the longest. To infuse the oil with flavor and create a base for the marinade, combine the olive oil with the lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves in a small pot and place over very low heat. You don't want to fry the herbs, just steep them like you're making tea. When the oil begins to simmer, shut off the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes. Pour the fragrant oil, solid pieces and all, into a bowl and put it in the refrigerator to cool.
Combine the chopped chives, parsley, and tarragon in a small bowl. Stuff 2 lemon slices under the skin of each chicken breast, along with half of the mixed chopped herbs. Put the chicken in a resealable food storage bag and pour in the cool herb oil, turning to coat really well. Toss in the remaining half of the chopped herbs, seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 5 hours or as long as all day.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before cooking so it won't be too cold when it goes into the pan; cold chicken takes longer to cook. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put a cast-iron (or regular ovenproof) skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the bottom of the pan with a 2-count of olive oil and heat until almost smoking; this will keep the chicken from sticking. Season the chicken with a fair amount of salt and pepper and put it in the pan, skin side down. Cook for 5 minutes or until the skin begins to set and crisp. Flip the chicken and brown another 5 minutes. Flip it yet again, so the skin side is down, and transfer the entire pan to the oven. You want the chicken to render its fat and the skin to crisp up. Roast the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through. While that's in the oven, move on to the broccoli.
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot; add the red pepper flakes and garlic. Throw in the broccoli and toss to coat in the garlic and oil. Pour in the chicken stock, cover, and let the broccoli steam for 10 minutes. When it is quite soft, pulse the broccoli a few times in a food processor, or better yet, use a handheld blender if you have one. The broccoli should be partly smooth and partly chunky. Stir in the yogurt to give the broccoli some body and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep it warm while preparing the pan sauce. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the skillet to the stovetop. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and cook over medium heat, scraping up the flavors with a wooden spoon. Cook the liquid down to a syrup, about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter to smooth out the sauce and turn off the heat.
Spoon the smashed broccoli onto 2 plates, lay the chicken on top, and drizzle with the pan sauce. This is comfort food!

Milbank: Beck "gave legitimacy" to the conspiracy theories of alleged California cop shooter Byron Williams
In a column [1] to be published in Sunday's Washington Post, Dana Milbank reports that Byron Williams, who allegedly shot at California police officers after he was stopped while on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation and ACLU, received validation for his conspiracy theories from Glenn Beck. Milbank based his column on interviews Williams gave to Examiner.com and Media Matters for America.
From Milbank's column:
Glenn Beck has a friend in California.
"I would've never started watching Fox News if it wasn't for the fact that Beck was on there," says this friend, Byron Williams. "And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed, that blew my mind."
"I do enjoy Glenn Beck," Williams also says, "and the reason why I enjoy that is because . . . no other channel will speak about the same things that he's talking about, and if you go and investigate those things you'll find out that they're true."
Unfortunately for Beck, this satisfied viewer currently resides at the Santa Rita Jail near Oakland and stands accused of a freeway shootout with police. Williams pleaded not guilty to four counts of attempted murder of a police officer. But according to court documents, he said he had been on a mission to kill people at the liberal Tides Foundation [2], which happens to be a favorite Beck target.
In August, I wrote that while it's not fair to blame Beck for violence committed by his fans, he would do well to stop encouraging extremists [3]. Now, Williams has granted a pair of jailhouse interviews, one with the conservative Examiner.com [4] and one to be published soon by the liberal group Media Matters [5]. These recorded exchanges, which I have reviewed, show precisely why Beck is dangerous: because his is the one voice in the mass media that validates conspiracy theories held by the unstable.
Milbank later added:
Williams, as you'd expect, is not an entirely reliable witness. At one point he complains that Beck "criticizes all the conspiracy theories," but at other points he hails Beck for embracing them. Still, this part rings true: The prisoner told the Examiner that he already knew about Tides before he heard Beck speak about it in June; rather, "to me it was more of a confirmation of what I already knew," he said.
Exactly. Beck, who has encouraged his followers to hear what he is saying "between the sentences" he actually utters, gave legitimacy to Williams's conspiracy theories.

text: Nov 17, 2015 - This might be the HG product I've been searching for. This definitely redefines and revives my 3A curls on 2nd and 3rd days. The product has a bit of slip/condish that smooths out the rough parts and glides on through. It also cuts way down on frizz. You can apply it all over or just on the spots that need reviving. It has a very light scent that doesn't overpower. I'm so glad my stylist had it for sale. Do give it a try!

Turtle Brownies
This moist, chocolaty brownie topped with caramel and nuts brings together the classic components of turtle candies.
- Yield: Makes 16
Source: Martha Stewart Living, February 2004
For the brownies
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 3 ounces good-quality unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the topping
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans (about 4 ounces)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a buttered 8-inch square baking dish with foil or parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang. Butter lining (excluding overhang); set aside.
Make batter: Put chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted. Let cool slightly.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in another medium bowl; set aside.
Put sugar and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add chocolate mixture, milk, and vanilla, and mix until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until well combined.
Pour batter into prepared dish. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of brownies comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, 27 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Make topping: Bring 1/3 cup water and the sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. When mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring, and wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Continue to cook, swirling pan occasionally, until medium amber, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat, and immediately add cream, vanilla, and salt. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until smooth. Add pecans; stir until caramel begins to cool and thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
Pour caramel over cool brownies; spread with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until cold, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Let brownies stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes before serving. Lift out, and cut into 16 squares, wiping knife with a hot, damp cloth between each cut. Brownies can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.

Goodman M3
I have recently purchased a 98 M3 SMG, it has very light, minor damage to offside front corner. Includes bonnet(just minor kink in offside front corner),headlight, indicator,bumper trim,bottom plastic mesh cover, bottom fog. The cosmetic damage is no problem(had to buy one like this to be able to afford). When car arrived it was on trailer and was locked in gear with a flat battery. Put jump leads on and did eventually start the car. It seamed to free its self and go into neutral so it could free roll. It will not seam to drive off, on the screen its says e 1 and has a triangle with an exclamation mark. The battery went flat again so i disconnected it and fitted another. Now i have ignition lights but it wont start, screen still says e 1 with triangle. I have since found a key pad in the glove box which i asume is some kind of imobilliser. Are these standard on the M3? It also has a Sigma alarm which appears to wind up the windows. I only got the car today and i know i have some work to do but any useful comments or advice would be good. Cheers All....... :dunno:

This year's Sundance Festival is in full swing out in Park City, Utah, where two Philly-centric films are enjoying some much-hyped screen time.
Mad Men star John Slattery makes his directorial debut in the film version of former Philadelphia Daily News columnist's Pete Dexter's 1983 novel God's Pocket. The black comedy takes place in a fictional South Philly neighborhood called God's Pocket, where a construction worker named Leon is killed in a tiff when a co-worker conks him on the head. Leon has such a miserable reputation around town that everyone involved swears it was an accident. His mother — played by Slattery's delicious Mad Men booty call Christina Hendricks — is suspicious, so she sends her husband Mickey, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, out to search for clues.
