All settings for your Drupal site can be set within the Administer menu that can be accessed from the menu in the left. When you click Administer you will get a large menu with many options. These menu points are broken down to 5 parts:
I'm starting a course with a lesson a week for non-programmers who wish to learn Drupal. Here is the first lesson.
Before we start with your first lesson, let me give you a very short background about running Drupal.
Drupal is a content management system designed to run on a web server which is accessible through the internet to anyone interested. To run your Drupal site you will need a hosting provider which can run your website for you. There are many to choose from. One of the biggest and cheapest ones that offer easy Drupal installation is Dreamhost.
In some rare cases your music or video downloads get corrupted while downloading. iTunes in these cases suggests you should go the iTunes Store and re-download the file, but the problem is your iTunes will try to continue downloading the file from the point where the problem occurred instead of re-downloading the complete file.
To force iTunes to re-download the file from the beginning you need to trash the partial file from the following directory:youruser/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads

Excerpted from The Social Media Marketing Book (O'Reilly)
A social network is a website where people connect with friends, both those they know offline and those who are online-only buddies. Social networking sites are a hot topic for marketers, as they present a number of opportunities for interacting with customers, including via plug-in applications, groups, and fan pages.
Each social network presents its own possibilities and challenges. Users of individual sites have different expectations of commercial behavior. In what follows, I'll introduce you to the three most popular networks and their unique features.
Finally Google Chrome for Mac is out, but be careful it's only for for OS X 10.5+, so if you're still running 10.4, you're out of luck.
After downloading you can import your FF or Safari bookmarks by clicking the wrench icon in the top right corner.
Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone provides users a simple way to view photos with full-screen previews and edit images with gesture-based editing. You can transform your photos with basic editing tools like crop, rotate and flip; as well as adjust color with saturation and tint tools, enhance exposure and vibrancy and convert images to black and white.

I imagine there are a few folks out there who, like me, were able to go to the Friday night come-from-behind win over Clemson, Saturday's hang-on-for-dear-life upset of national powerhouse Kentucky and Sunday's epic two-out, ninth-inning rally at Doug Kingsmore Stadium to sweep the Tigers and prolong the living hell their lives have become since Ray Tanner first knocked Jack Leggett from the College World Series back in 2002. If you made it to all three games, you are one lucky, lucky man, woman or child.
I imagine there are fewer still, however, who, like me, were able to talk to Chad Holbrook and Frank Martin after those wins face-to-face to ask them the hows and whys of the mighty accomplishments they just had wrought. In fact, I'm fairly certain I'm the only writer - print, web or otherwise - who did so, which made me think how lucky I am to have had the opportunity to witness what may have been the finest non-football-related weekend for the Gamecocks in a long, long time.
First, hoops. When I looked at the schedule ages ago and saw two events I couldn't be at simultaneously - the USC-Clemson game in Greenville and the Kentucky basketball game at home - my first thought was to go to Greenville for the matchup of elite programs and the nation's best college baseball rivalry, especially considering the chances looked mighty slim of South Carolina pulling an upset in basketball with a struggling team loaded with freshmen.
Even in the days leading up to the game, I have to admit I was torn. I drove to Auburn for that game on Wednesday, which was one of the season's lowest moments for Martin and company. Things looked bleak, even more so with a ranked Kentucky team coming to town angry following a home loss to Arkansas. Throw in that South Carolina's baseball team was undefeated, nationally ranked and looking every bit the elite team it is, and the choice was a no-brainer. But, I thought, should the Gamecocks somehow win - long shot though it seemed - I couldn't imagine not being there.
And oh, how richly rewarded was that decision. Saturday's game was the finest expression of the kind of aggressive, never-say-die basketball that Frank Martin preaches. Brent Williams gave every ounce of strength he had. Laimonas Chatkevicius had a dunk he'll never forget and hit a baby hook shot late without which the Gamecocks likely don't win. Every player who saw the floor gave something; even reserve Brian Steele probably had his career highlight with an athletic layup off a fast break that became a three-point play.
The atmosphere was the best of the year and best in recent history. With almost half the building being Kentucky fans and the other half Gamecocks (and probably more than half of that, students), the battle in the stands was just as engaging as the battle on the court. I don't know if it came across on television or not, but words don't do justice to the energy in the building as the Kentucky crowd would begin shouting "Go Big Blue! Go Big Blue!" and the USC fans would fight back with "U-S-C! U-S-C!", drowning them out.
As the momentum would shift with each possession in the final minutes, each fan base would come alive and try to out-shout the other. Just like the fight being played out on the floor, the fight in the stands, the grit and enthusiasm and desire to will the young, scrapping-for-their-life Gamecocks was a huge factor in the outcome - Williams himself said after the game the fans will never know just how important a part they played in the win.
When you cover a team over the course of a season, you're invested in them, like it or not. You see their highs, their lows. You watch them grow, develop, mature. When a team struggles for as long as this Gamecocks team has, you see their disappointment and frustration weekly. Close losses. Blowouts. Collapses. Near-misses. Among the team's 18 losses are nearly every kind of defeat, and coming off back-to-back blowouts at home to Georgia and on the road at Auburn, the trend was decidedly downward, the narrative that of a young team whose legs finally gave out, who hit the wall and were just ready to play out the string and get this season over with until better days - and players - arrived.
But funny things happen in sports, and one of the greatest joys is when you see a team truly come together, play inspired ball against a superior opponent and achieve something that a week or a month ago seemed impossible. The joy on the faces of those players and coaches after the Kentucky game was what I'll take with me. I saw the same thing on the field at Missouri in football - a spectacular result that came as the result of players believing in and trusting one another. Against Kentucky with the student section and fans on fire with every block, every rebound, every basket, the faithful were celebrating watching a team coming together before their eyes and playing for each other, their coach and their program with a will that demanded admiration.
I sit next to the visitor's bench, and the look in the the Kentucky players' eyes was one of defeat as they got down 16. They realized as the second half wore on that this South Carolina team wasn't going anywhere, was going to fight to the buzzer. Credit them for refusing to quit even though their coach, whom I lost any respect I had for, by the way, did just that. You will never hear me say that coach John Calipari has class, and that's all I'll say about that.
The result was a beautiful thing to behold, a redemption, a celebration, a vindication in bold type broadcast across the country that this program is on the ascent under a coach who can take young men other people didn't want - and some they did - and beat the most prestigious program in the SEC, if not the nation. Period. Martin won't say how important the win was, because that's truly not his style, just like it isn't with Steve Spurrier when the season is on. But you can rest assured it was a gratifying performance and a special, special moment to share with the fans, whom he thanked, and his staff and players. If you were there - and I hope you were - you will never forget Saturday. Even if you weren't, as a fan you'll never forget where you were when this program officially served notice to the SEC that things are different in Columbia. It was the signature win of this season and of Frank Martin's tenure, and that it came against a team and fan base as smug and self-righteous as Kentucky's who tried - and failed - to take over the Colonial Life Arena, well, it's a gift that will always keep on giving.
Which brings me to Clemson. If you're a Tiger, I can't imagine a more depressing existence to live than yours right now. The turn in this overall series, from football to baseball, has to be the most crushing thing imaginable, and the fact that it goes on and on and on and is in your face day after day after day, well, I don't know what that's like, because I'm on the right side of it, and it's a wonderful thing to behold, admire and cherish.
For evidence beyond the records, which are clear, consider this: there used to be a thing people referred to - especially Clemson fans, who did so with delight - called the Chicken Curse. It was used to describe why things went wrong for USC in any sport, any occasion. It was used locally, and no one outside the region really knew much about it. It's dead now, and has been since 2002, when Ray Tanner beat the Tigers twice in Omaha...the first time.
Now, there's actually such a thing as "Clemsoning," which is pretty much the same term and describes choking in a situation you should have performed better in. And not only is it a real thing, it's national; heck, global. Google it and see. It's a real thing that Clemson fans can never put back in the bottle, so to speak. It will live forever, and it is now a very real part of their legacy, their tradition. And what keeps giving it life, you may ask? Why Clemson, of course! How else to describe twice losing leads, one a five-run lead on Friday night by giving up a grand slam, of all things, then falling apart, the second being so painfully close to victory that the fans had gathered up their things and were on their feet clapping for the last strike and out of the game with a 3-1 lead in the top of the ninth.
When Brison Celek got his hit to load the bases, they still stood. When Marcus Mooney got his hit to tie it, they sat. When Tanner English got his hit to give USC a two-run lead, they left. It's hard to imagine the Gamecocks inflicting a more painful loss to Clemson, but they did precisely that to earn the sweep - the cruelest of all baseball outcomes - and hang the heads one more time of every Clemson fan on earth. Clemson Clemsoned, Carolina crushed, and the insults and injuries just keep mounting, the domination of South Carolina over Clemson in football and baseball just go on like Chinese water torture for a fan base stuck in the VCR age whose success predates the home computer and who has one conference title since the Internet.
On Friday afternoon, a series loss to Clemson was entirely possible and a loss to Kentucky was entirely likely. On Sunday night, the Gamecocks had a sweep in their pockets of the most-satisfying kind and the basketball team had a program-defining victory neither it nor its fans, coaches or players will ever forget.
Some weekends are better than others, and this one was better than most. Whether you were there for any, both or all three games, the memories of this weekend's success won't fade anytime soon. It is, without a doubt, the best time to be a Gamecock in school history. Enjoy the ride...I know I am, especially getting to see it unfold from the best seat in the house.

A new deficit-reduction plan unveiled by House GOP leaders on Monday was generally well received by rank-and-file members, who were briefed on the proposal at an afternoon conference meeting. While many expressed a desire to learn more about the plan's specifics, members were largely optimistic about the path ahead. "It looks good, but we've still got to work on it," freshman representative Bobby Schilling (R., Ill.) said as he exited the meeting.
Even Rep. Allen West (R., Fla.), a freshman and tea-party favorite, told National Review Online that while the plan was a "75 to 80 percent solution," it was something he could ultimately support. "You know, son, one thing they tell you in the military — if you sit around and wait to come up with the 100 percent plan, then the enemy has probably already attacked you," he said.

Jays heavy at the top
With just three days of outdoor practice under its belt, the Jamestown High School girls tennis team will open its season today.
"Those are all excuses and we don't even want to spend time worrying about it," Mullowney said. "We have a good group of kids. They're committed. They're working hard. It's all part of building the program and we're excited about it."
The Blue Jays open against West Fargo today on the road with three experienced players returning in seniors Erin Mullowney and Jenna Reed and sophomore Bailee Graves. Maria LeFevre, another senior, has seen limited varsity time, but will get more this season.
"We're still figuring things out with our lineup. After the top three spots, things are in flux and we're still seeing how it all shakes out, but the girls are competitive. They've already made some nice improvements and we'll certainly learn a lot more here the next couple of days," Mullowney said. "We've got some kids with experience. We have some intermediaries and some beginners, but that's exciting too in terms of trying to lay the foundation for not just this season, but the future."
Erin Mullowney and Reed both have ample singles and doubles experience, but will be counted on to take the step up to the top of the singles lineup. Same is true for Graves, who impressed last season as a freshman.
Sophomores Renada Krenzel and Taylor Webber along with freshmen Medora Pringle and Megan Larson are in the mix for varsity spots. So too are eighth-graders Kaitlin Mullowney, Pat's other daughter, and Payton Hoggarth.
"It's fun to see kids come out for the sport even if they don't have the background that some of the other kids do," Mullowney said. "You always like to see kids out there competing and being active and trying to better themselves."
Mullowney, who also coaches the JHS boys tennis team, was pleased with the offseason work his players put in. More can always be done, but he said it laid a solid base.
"We had some kids take lessons. We started a summer league that I thought was good for us. ... As a coach, you always want more, but both in terms of what the kids did in the summer and over the winter, a lot of good things got accomplished," he said. "It sets us up to where we feel good about things starting the season. We know it's always going to be a challenge, but if we can get a little better every day and refine the necessary skills, we can have a successful season."

Dear all,
I am an user of HP Pavilion dv1000 (PR428UA#ABA) Notebook, which is a very primitive model, but after upgrade the RAM to 1GB, I changed the OS from Win XP to Win 7, and this is useful for now. I feel it is faster than when it was on XP.
The problem is, I can't get the audio driver, Conexant Cx20468 @ Intel 82801DBM ICH4-M - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-1], for Windows 7.
Yes, I have already checked many posts in this forum and tried similar drivers such as sp40270.exe or sp37816.exe.
But it doesn't work.
Do I have to give this challenge up as it is too old notebook?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Did you try this one?
Hi, Jun:
Sorry that didn't work. I was hoping it would since it was an AC-97 audio driver.
I have one other easy idea you can try.
If you have your notebook connected to the internet, click on the audio device in the device manager. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver. Select the automatic search method and I am hoping Windows Update will download and install an audio driver for it.
I am pretty sure your notebook should be able to run Windows 7 including the audio.
If that doesn't work, try this complicated method... modify the XP driver to work in W7...but you should be able to do it. Just follow the instructions carefully:
1. Download driver sp30399. You can get it from here:
2. Run sp30399.exe.
3. Go to the extracted folder (Default location is: c:\SWSetup\sp30399)
4. Edit qta3091.inf:
Search code block:
and add this line under:
So the result would look like this:
Note: Copy this part from the Device Manager> Multimedia Audio Controller>Details>Hardware ID:
You may have a slightly different device description. If you want to be sure, go to the device manager, open the unrecognized audio device's property page, select "Details" tab, and select "Hardware Ids" from the Properties drop down list. Copy the top listed hardware ID string, and replace the device description I wrote down above, with the one you see.
So the final result would look like this (if you have a different device description.):
%*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_INSERT YOUR DEVICE DESCRIPTION ID
5. Now all you have to do is to install the driver manually through device manager (Driver tab > Update Driver>Select the manual installation method, and browse to the extracted driver folder (sp30399).
Good luck, and please let us know if you get the sound to work.
Hi, Jun:
You're very welcome.
I'm happy it worked. I have used XP drivers for other stuff that wouldn't work in Windows 7.
Sometimes you just have to let the computer know who's the boss.
Who can help me to find the that driver? I try several but no match.
Did you try the Vista driver for your notebook?
You may have to try manually installing it if the auto install doesn't work. You can do this by clicking on the missing audio controller in the device manager. Then click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver. Select the Browse my computer for software method and browse to C:\SWSetup\sp34567. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if it loads that way.
You can also try installing it using the auto update if the manual update doesn't work. Maybe windows update has a driver from the windows update site. You will need to be connected to the Internet for the auto update method.
Dear Paul, dear all
i have a similar problem, but coulndt solve it. i use a hp compaq nx9005 (32bit). after upgrading to windows 7 i couldn find proper drivers for my audio. everything i tried ends with crashes after half a second to maximum 3 minutes (circa) of audioplay. i think i tried all the obvious drivers - that is diverse drivers for xp and vista. i also tried pauls proposal for the mentioned pavilion, editing the qta3091.inf (looking up my device description ID from the device manager).
As I edited the file blindly (i.e. not really knowing what im doing) maybe someone has an idea what other file to edit in what way – fitting to my good old calculating machine.
What else to do now? Buying a new one?
Hi, Helga:
Please read this post below and try the suggestions.
Please post back and let us know if any of them worked.

Beautiful Nightclub
Let's start with the positives.
A beautiful location with beautiful scenery . A quality restaurant ( great view from the bay window ) . Nothing to say with the bedroom and the bathroom which are standard. The problem is elsewhere. Rather below . The bar, located below the room is open until 1am on Friday and Saturday (23h other days). The music is very strong and you really can not sleep until closing. Obviously any prior information about the inconvenience this may represent . Outrageous !

Nice Hotel with a view
We booked the room above the bar because it was cheaper.
The music we heard from below was good and hearing the people talking in the bar was not really disturbing as. Free parking. We were on a trip around Scotland so it was a good place to stay on our tour. The bed was comfy and the room clean. Breakfast was good with a nice view. Be aware of the midges outside.

Stopped to eat here with 2 year old who has gluten allergy. Was told the only thing they have is a GF bun, coleslaw and collared greens. NOTHING fried as it shares a common fryer. Person at front was nice but did say when I asked if they had GF options their first comment was "depends on how allergic you are" - really???
The food was absolutely fabulous! Delicious GF black bean burger. The children's burgers were awesome too...not the dried out hockey puck most other restaurants offer. The GF bun was exceptional and the server was knowledgable enough on celiacs to tell me that the fries could be cross contaminated due to all items being fried in same oil. I was very pleased! I even liked the decor.
Great gf buns for the burgers! Waiter Nick really took our dietary needs seriously.

This year will see another Penn State football uniform change, marking the third consecutive season that the classic jerseys have been tweaked following decades of the status quo. (Names were added last year, and the home jersey's previously-white collar returned to navy the year before.)
While the updates are fairly minor — they may not even merit a blog post were it another team — this is Penn State, where the fashion tastes are the antithesis of, say, Oregon's.
The big update is the presence of the Nittany Lion logo, which will now adorn the the base of the v-neck collar, adding a bit more team-specificity to the otherwise neutral jersey.
Secondarily, the Nike Swoosh has been shifted a bit more center-left and now appears on the primary panel, rather than the shoulder area.
Yeah it's not much, but it's May and I'm certainly not going to not talk about college football for the next 90-plus days.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hi, thanks for following up-
Chloe seems to be doing a little better. This definitely only happens as soon as she's woken up from a longer sleep (4 - 6 hours uninterrupted). As soon as she wakes from a longer sleep, she retches/gags saliva or bile, and then she is 100% normal the other 99% of the day. Eats, drinks, uses the litterbox, everything.
She went 36 hours without doing it (the longest so far). She didn't do it Sunday morning, but did it Sunday afternoon (we were out all afternoon, and she always sleeps when we're gone). Then she didn't do it Monday morning OR Monday afternoon. But she did it 4:30 this morning (Tuesday). It's less now, too- she gags one or two times, rather than four to six times during the first few days.
Also, when she did it Sunday afternoon, there was some hair mixed with bile, so I think maybe a hairball might have woken her? We found it right under the bed where she was sleeping.
So the constant here is that it's ALWAYS right after she's slept for a longer period of time. Upon waking, she does it, and then is totally fine all day. So it makes sense that, like you said, it could be exacerbated when rising from sleep. Do you have any idea WHY this might be happening? Why it bothers her ONLY after a longer sleep, and then all day, she's completely normal?
We thought we would let her take the Pepcid for at least a full week and see how she does. She's only taken the Pepcid three times so far. (Four will be tonight.) Our vet also mentioned that, if it didn't work, aside from doing blood tests just in case, it could have to do with her food (she's on a C/D prescription diet for bladder health). Do you think that's possible?
Thanks for your help,
PS: We have a cardboard scratcher that Chloe loves to lay on. A lot of times, she'll eat the little pieces of cardboard paper she pulls up. We took it away from her today. Could that bother her stomach?

Bubba the Love Sponge Clem ran against Pinellas Sheriff Jim Coats in 2004, but this election cycle, the shock jock is one of Coats' biggest donors.
He and his companies gave $3,350 to Coats in the last campaign reporting period, which covers the last week of August and the first two of September.
That sum is roughly 65 percent of the money Coats raised. It came in addition to $500 Clem gave Coats in December.
Why the enthusiasm for the sheriff?
"I just got a lot of respect for the guy," Clem said. "I don't want anything. I just want him to keep being a good sheriff."
Coats said that he had appeared on Clem's radio show earlier in the year to talk about the agency's budget problems. He said Clem called him in advance to say he'd be donating a lot of money to the campaign because he thought Coats was the best person for the job.
Brent Hatley, executive producer of the Bubba Radio Network, said that he and Clem were impressed with Coats as a "genuinely honest man" who takes his job "very seriously."
During the 2004 campaign, Clem said the sheriff was always very honest and aboveboard.
He said he respects the way Coats pushed back against the County Commission over the last year to fight against budget cuts.
To date, Clem has given $1,000 to Coats under his own name. He also sent money to the campaign through seven corporations:
• The Bubba Radio Network ($500).
• Bubba Army ($500).
• BRN Shock Media ($500).
• BTLS Web Media ($500).
• B3H Web Holdings ($100).
• BRN Travel, Inc. ($250).
• Intense Frequency ($500).
Clem promised $2,000 or $3,000 more from people including his wife, Heather, and his producer, Hatley.
The donations add to Coats' large fundraising lead.
So far, Coats has brought in $150,116.81, of which he has spent $42,203.01. He said he plans to buy radio commercials in the near future, if he can afford it.
Democratic candidate Randall Jones raised $28,571.05 and spent $21,394.53.
Meanwhile, write-in candidate Gregory S. Pound, who was detained according to the Baker Act earlier this month, was the only contributor to his campaign. He has spent $9.

ASK A QUESTION Que significa 'como una moto'?
Hoy yo he aprendido 'verbos de cambios',
y Habia un ejemplo :'yo me he puesto como una moto' en este caso. Que significa?
3 Answers
I would try some of the contexts given in the link, but without more context, I can't even guess. (e.g. if he became still and silent...maybe the stone milepost)
hmm. una moto...must be a una motocicleta; not el moto o la mota
"Moto" can refer to what we would call a "4 wheeler". In Mexico they are all over the place in many of the smaller cities because a driver's license is not required to operate one. What could that mean in the case of your sentence? Who knows?
Not sure if this is correct, but in Argentina" we say "bajate de la moto", when somebody is getting heated up about something, meaning "slow down".
So, my guess is that it means something like "I got very angry".

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
- Ansel Adams
To me this thought is really important. Too many photographers spend too much time worrying about rules. The only purpose the rules serve for me is as an analytical tool for when I cannot work out why something didn't work. If I have an idea for a photograph that I think will work and it fails I may try to fathom out which compositional rules could help me solve the problem the next time out.
Seriously though, if you think having the tic-tac-toe grid visible on your viewfinder or viewscreen, so that you can get the rule of thirds working, when you take the shot is going to improve your photography I think that you are probably in for a very big disappointment.
Composition has to be instinctive.

Statement from NYS Senator Eric Adams regarding NYPD Oversight of Stop and Frisk Policies
Statement from NYS Senator Eric Adams regarding the New York City's Council's vote to create an Inspector General to oversee the New York City Police Department and their "Stop and Frisk" Policies
Senator Adams' statement:
"Today's most recent article in the New York Times sums up well what I have stated repeatedly. The power of law enforcement to stop, question, frisk, and even detain citizens deserves the most careful scrutiny and the most rigorous oversight. A society whose judicial system is based upon the presumption of innocence must not permit its police department to infringe upon the civil and legal rights of the law-abiding public. With an increase in power there must be an increase in oversight to create a balance. To date that need has never been addressed. I commend the New York City Council for taking this much needed stance."

Senator Graham to discuss country's debt limit in Columbia
Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:48:32 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham is set to visit South Carolina to discuss the Capitol Hill debate over raising the country's debt limit.
Graham's office says the Republican is talking about the issue with reporters in Columbia Tuesday.
The Treasury Department could soon begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Republicans say they are willing to raise the debt ceiling but insist any increase must be paired with significant savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other government benefit programs.
President Barack Obama has said he's willing to consider spending cuts separately but won't bargain over the government's borrowing authority.
On CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, Graham didn't dismiss the idea of allowing a partial shutdown of government until an agreement can be reached.

I'd like to say something about the politicians, the partisan spokespeople and the vast army of angry, rude, hypocritical and mostly anonymous posters in online forums who go to ridiculous lengths to spin anything and everything in favor of their party and against the other one.
They have demonstrated that winning is far more important to you than honesty or objectivity, and so most of what you say is less than worthless. It contributes nothing of value, is often dishonest and deceptive and degrades our ability to communicate and work together.
The media can't stop talking about things like a candidate's perceived misstatement or gaffe. I would hope the media find something more substantive to fill up their air time. I'm interested in the problems our country is facing and serious ideas about how to address them, but it is almost impossible to find meaningful discussion of such topics amid the incessant babbling about trivialities.
I am reminded again why I detest politics.

Back in May, Dynamite Entertainment announced the first crossover between Vampirella and Barnabas Collins from DARK SHADOWS. In that announcement we found out that Marc Andreyko will be writing with art by Patrick Berkenkotter and Fabiano Neves will provide the cover. We did get a look at the interiors but because it was still in an early stage, it was only penciled art (still pretty cool and worth checking out).
Today, Dynamite has given us an exclusive first look at the colored version of the interiors to get an idea what this epic crossover will be like.
DARK SHADOWS/VAMPIRELLA #1 will debut in August. Barnabas will be traveling to New York searching for a missing family friend. Events will soon result in his meeting with Vampirella. We'll have to wait and see if they meet as friends or foes.== TEASER ==

Edgy and Eggy
Most people wouldnt confuse the Scottish city of Edinburgh with Laguna Beach, but this weekend, the cities theatrical sensibilities are very close. Its the 2008 Gallimaufry Arts Festival, a project launched by the Laguna Beach-based Gallimaufry Performing Arts Company. The festival, which actually began last weekend, continues through Sunday with eight staged readings of plays by Orange County playwrights, as well as two performances of The Arab, the Jew and Chicken, a politically-themed collection of pieces from the London-based sketch comedy ensemble Conflict Relief, which Gallimaufry Artistic Director Steve Josephson discovered earlier this year at the 2008 Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. The new play festival, a joint production between Gallimaufry and the Orange County Playwrights Alliance, includes readings of eight plays spaced over two days, including OC-turned-NYC playwright Johnna Adams Rattlers, which receives its world premiere production Nov. 8 at Stages Theatre in Fullerton.

Even Angelina Jolie has self-doubt when it comes to her career.
The 38-year-old actor/director, and mother of six, is speaking out about her third directorial effort, "Unbroken," about former Olympic distance runner Louis Zamperini, who helped changes the star's life.
"I imagine that for the last 10-something years, he's been sitting there having a coffee in the morning and wondering who's going to make this movie," Angelina said in an interview with Tom Brokaw that aired on the "Today" show on Tuesday.
PHOTOS: Brangelina's Family Album
"And I've been sitting in my room laying there thinking, 'What am I supposed to be doing with my life? I wanna do something important. I wanna connect. I need some help. I need some guidance. Where is it?' And it was right outside my window," she said, explaining that she was unsure about what project to pursue next after directing "In the Land of Blood and Honey."
After Angelina met and became friends with Louis (who lives in the same neighborhood as the star) she said she felt "such a huge responsibility to get it right, because I love him so much and he's helped me so much in my life."
But bringing the World War II survival story to the big screen was not easy.
PHOTOS: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
"This has been the hardest thing I've ever done," she said, explaining that she crafted handmade poster boards for meetings with Universal. "I pitched my butt off."
The actress/director hopes audiences take away that the world "can seem hopeless and it can seem very overwhelming, the resilience and the strength of the human spirit is an extraordinary thing."
"Unbroken" with Garrett Hedlund and Jack O'Connell as Louis Zamperini is slated to debut in theaters on December 25, 2014.

By @khal for DoAndroidsDance.com
Should I drop this "why do you bother hating on EDM" conversation? No. Why? Because you're playing yourself in trying to argue it. I'm not here to say "calling it dance music is wrong," but I'm also not going to waste my time debating what the fuck people are calling this. Just because you want to burn the term "EDM" at the stake, I'll be here doing what I've always done: loving exciting new music. See, the sooner you realize that the stigma affixed to "EDM" is based on you actually giving a fuck about what traditional media thinks about something it clearly doesn't understand, the better. I'll wait.
Grizzly Bear – "Will Calls (Diplo Remix)"
Kudos to everyone involved in this, from Diplo with the trippy trap lean on this remix to Warp actually getting him for it. We all win.
Danny Brown – "Dip (Preditah Remix)"
The original "Dip" was intense, but there's something with the way Preditah brought in the creepy darkness to this Old track that reigns supreme.
Boys Noize & Housemeister – "1988"
Nothing says "paying tribute to Dance Mania" like a song that sounds like it could've dropped on Dance Mania.
Disclosure ft. Sasha Keable – "Voices (Wookie Remix)"
UK garage, so soulful.
Beat King & Brodinski – "5 Years (Club Version)"
Not necessarily the best message for the raver massive, but this is a great example of rap and EDM mixing into something epic.
Robin Thicke – "Give it 2 U (Trippy Turtle Remix)"
Trippy's been on one in 2013, and finally felt it was time to give away one of their impressive reworks. Get your twerk on to this Jersey club SMASH.
Alesia – "Andrea"
Many slept on Alesia, like Alesia wasn't a part of DJ Snake's "Bird Machine." Wake up and revel in the massiveness that is "Andrea."
Pomo – "Work It Out"
That Janet Jackson sample is everything.
Evian Christ – "Salt Carousel"
And now you know what Evian was a part of Yeezus.
Bonde do Role ft. Ce'Cile – "Brazilian Boys (Major Lazer Remix)"
Hypnotic Major Lazer tunage right here. The looped vocal works perfectly over this riddim, and the fact that its more of a groove than an overall drop fest adds something. Hands up!

Which carrier would you recommend?
I'm leaning towards the Ergo, but am balking at the steep price for a new one ($105+). I have a baby (almost 6 months). She's very snugly, and if she's anything like her brother (uneager to walk) we may use the carrier for a long time.
I have a hardware Kelty and my son hated it.
I really want a soft carrier, easy to use, preferably washable. I want something that's comfy for baby for extended periods (hours?), and respectful of how baby's body develops.
I need to be able to put in baby by myself (unassisted).
I'm 5'2" (small frame) in case that makes a difference. I like a snug fit for me with baby's weight well distributed. My goal is to give my poor back a break.
Since I'm looking to buy used I can't necessarily try out or return the thing, so please give me your honest feedback.
Please tell me about any drawbacks you have encountered with your soft backpack carrier.
On thebabywearer.com there are some really good comparisons of the 4.

I am 5'7" and very thin. Don't know how it would work on a shorter frame.

I just bought an Olives and Applesauce and I'm lovin' it! The straps are a bit wider and flatter, and makes for a real nice front carry. The body is a tad bit wider and taller than the Ergo.
Like mentioned, www.thebabywearer.com has tonnes of comparison threads.
Check out www.olivesandapplesauce.com
Not good for really tiny babies (intended for bigger ones). DD at 10 lbs was just big enough to fit in it. That's probably not an issue for you. They make a petite size for smaller moms.
I have no experience with any of the others (I dunno how people can afford so many carriers) but second the rec to go to thebabywearer.com. It's a great place for the research.
Canadian mama to A (C/S May 2004) and R (induced VBAC Dec 2007) expecting #3 in July. Currently obsessing over permaculture, photography and beekeeping.
I love my Beco 4th Generation, and I can also recommend the Beco Butterfly (latest version).
My Beco 4th Gen is my favorite. The shoulder straps cross in back when baby's on the front, and this makes for a very comfortable front carry. It takes a few moments to transfer the straps to a back carry, but I don't think it's too much of a hassle. It can do back, front, and hip. It comes in beautiful prints, and is light/not bulky. The sleep hood can hide in the velcro pocket, but I always found it a hassle to install and use the sleep hood.
The Butterfly is the replacement for the 4th Gen. The Butterfly has safety and small infant features, but I found it too complicated for ease of use. It had a lot of buckles IMO. Also, the ability to do a hip carry or cross the straps in back was eliminated with this design. Good carrier for people who are unsure about back carries and/or want to carry small infants. Cute prints. I have not used the sleep hood, but it's not velcro (which I like). I read a lot of reviews saying the sleep hood doesn't actually hold baby's head steady in this model . . . ?
I also have personal experience with Hapai Baby, the lightest and least structured buckle carrier I've listed so far. It's folds up really small. It has the widest body and a built in sleep hood which I like because there's no fuss to install it. Instead of a stiffer, padded waist like every other SSC listed here, it has a soft, thin bottom that you put on apron-style (like tying a MT). I found the shoulder straps a little thin on this carrier. They dug in during longer outings (but DS is HUGE, so it might not be the case for others).
I have an Ergo, and it is functional. It is by far the bulkiest SSC I have. DH and DS like to use it. The shoulder straps do not cross in back for a front carry. There is an actual functional zippered pocket, which is nice. The built in sleep hood is also functional. The waist is uncomfortable IMO, as the webbing digs in a bit. I have spent a lot of time fine-tuning, and this should have been solved, but *shrug*. DH doesn't have this problem.
From most to least expensive:
Beco Butterfly
4th Gen (no longer in production, buy used)
All of these do back and front carries. The ones I underlined also do hip carry.
after struggling and struggling with ergo, gm bbb, and cuddling baby mei tai with no success, i finally ordered a used babyhawk and got him up there no problems the night it arrived.
i'm sorry to recommend YET ANOTHER carrier that you may not be able to afford, but if it helps any, my babyhawk only cost $50, which seems to be fairly typical for used on ebay and the like. they are pretty, so people might buy/sell them just to get a different colour or pattern. If you sew, you might well be able to make a reasonable facsimile without spending a fortune on materials.
Good luck!
i finally ordered a used babyhawk and got him up there no problems the night it arrived.
I'm choosíng right now between the a limited ed. Beco, butterfly, Manduca and an Ergo for DH. Considering a BH for myself.
It's a jungle!
and 2 rescued greyhounds
check out the baby wearing forum, there are great ideas there!
Just wondering if this was the old-school BH before the headrest and if so how does it work when your LO falls asleep?
It's VERY hands-free with him on my front.
ETA: Oh, and it is usually just DS and I when we go out and I have no problem getting him in and out of it by myself.

* They're prettier
* They're made in the USA
* They are manufactured via humane/good business practices (unlike the Ergo)
* They last longer
If I remember correctly, a Beco is slightly more expensive, but so worth it if you can afford it. It's got the best of the Ergo combined with the best of the Mei Tai. Here's a great comparison chart:

I love my beco butterfly. but i can't figure out how to nurse in it but it is extremely comfortable.
I have a beco and an ergo, and I love them both but I do think the ergo is better on my back. I find DD sits a bit low in it and get smothered in my boobs but I just roll up a receiving blanket to put under her and we're good. Back carrying with the beco is fool proof though which is nice. The pocket in the front of the ergo is really handy, I know it's a small detail but when I need my keys they are right there and that can make a huge difference. I much prefer the way the beco looks though.
And another carrier to throw into your mix is the AngelPack LX (and oh while I'm at it the Nana's Jetpak). The former is very much like the Beco 4th Generation IME and is a good non-bulky SSC. I really like the double-adjusters on the shoulder straps, because you can arrange it so you're always pulling forward to tighten rather than having to pull backwards for a back carry, which can be difficult for some people.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Santa Feburger
Hi my name is Jon. Burgers are my favorite food and I like to experiment with them and many other recipes. This is one I perfected this summer for this contest. Thank you.
.25 pounds chorizo
.5 a head of iceberg lettuce
1 handful cilantro
.5 cup cider vinegar
1.5 pounds ground chuck
vegetable oil for lubing the grate
6 burger sized
slices of frying cheese (found in Hispanic markets. It doesn't melt!) 6 large French style hard rolls
1.5 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon jalapeno powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Prepare a hot fire on one side of a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat one half of a gas grill to high. Place a heavy cast iron pan over the grate to preheat. Shape the chorizo into 6 small patties and when the pan is heated fry them for 3-5 minutes per side. Meanwhile shred the lettuce and pick the leaves from the cilantro, set aside. When the chorizo patties are done remove them to cool reserving any juices that have rendered in the pan. Add the cider vinegar to the pan and allow the mixture to reduce slightly over the cooler portion of the grill. Meanwhile divide the chuck into 6 equal portions and form larger patties around the precooked chorizo patties. Brush the grill with vegetable oil and place the burgers over the hotter part of the grill (which hopefully by now has burned down to medium-high, if you are using gas grill simply lower the temp) and allow them to cook 4-6 minutes per side for medium. Meanwhile remove the pan and pour the liquid over the lettuce and cilantro and toss to coat, add salt to taste. When you are ready to flip the burgers place the frying cheese on the cooler portion of the grill. When it begins to brown flip it. Try to time it so the burgers and the cheese come off the grill at the same time. To construct the burger place a chorizo-beef patty on the bottom of a sliced roll topped with a piece of the fried cheese and pile on the lettuce-cilantro mixture. Mix the mayonnaise with the jalapeno/garlic powders and spread across the top of the roll. Serve hot.
I know it seems like a strange and maybe "gimmicky" recipe but it tastes unbelievable.

Mike Stoops will be back at Arizona next season, according to a vote of confidence given to him and athletic director Jim Livengood by university president Robert Shelton and reported Monday in the Arizona Daily Star. The newspaper wrote that Shelton told the two they were safe even before the Wildcats win at Washington on Oct. 27. In the preseason, expectations were high that Arizona would break a streak of eight consecutive nonwinning seasons and reach its first bowl game since 1998. That appears unlikely. Still, Stoops said this week he always expected he'd be back. "If the president felt like he needed to say that, then I'm happy -- and I plan on being here a lot longer than a year's period of time, that's for sure," he said.
• The Wildcats, riding a two-game winning streak, are off this weekend before Oregon comes to town on Nov. 15. They will need to beat the Ducks and then rival Arizona State -- both top-10 teams -- to become bowl eligible, a prospect that could be charitably described as unlikely. Still, the resurgence of the offense makes it possible to imagine at least one upset. Arizona has scored 82 points in its past two games, and quarterback Willie Tuitama extended his school single-season touchdown pass record to 24 with three scoring tosses in the win over UCLA. With 3,145 yards passing -- by far the best total in the conference -- he needs just 183 yards to establish a new school single-season yardage record. "We're much more confident as an offensive football team," Stoops said. "This offense can move the football."
Arizona State
Does Arizona State's visit to bedraggled UCLA on Saturday (ABC, 3:30 ET) feel like a trap game, wedged between the Sun Devils first loss of the season at Oregon and their bye week in advance of a visit from USC? Coach Dennis Erickson acknowledged the possibility, but hoped his team recognizes that it still could end up in BCS bowl game if it wins out. "We're in a situation where we have some opportunities in front of us," Erickson said. The ideal scenario for ASU -- barring an Oregon collapse -- is the Ducks winning out and earning a berth in the BCS title game in New Orleans. If the Sun Devils also hold serve, it would be a near-certainty that they would end up in the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1997. It's noteworthy that the Sun Devils haven't won in the Rose Bowl since that regular season and haven't won a game in Los Angeles since 1999.

Broadway Joe' Namath rips Cowboys
Posted at 11:08 AM on Sat., Oct. 23, 2010 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz
Gerry Fraley / Reporter Bio | E-mail | News tips
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath does not see much to like with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaking on his weekly Sirius NFL Radio show, Namath ripped the Cowboys for their lack of focus, uneven effort, poor football intelligence and diva-like attitudes.
"Their focus has been horrendous," Namath said. "You look at the number of penalties and breakdowns they've had, their head's not in the game, it really isn't. The smarter teams come out on top, the teams that don't destroy themselves.
"And the Cowboys have not learned how to focus on the team in the locker room, and outside issues not interfering with their play. And that's what's happened. I really believe they all feel like they're big stars and they're not working as hard as they think they are."
Namath said the players must take the blame for the 1-4 start, but he did not exempt owner-general manager Jerry Jones from criticism.
"I know (Jones) is trying to win and he's doing everything he can to get it done," Namath said. "Is his place as a general manager, is it correct? I don't know. But I do know this: He owns the team, right? We always did what the boss said.
"I don't think he in any way has caused the problems the players are having on the field. I think his enthusiasm, his desire for success, is strong. It's one of the strong things the Cowboys have. It comes down to that nucleus of players. They're not getting it done."

According to several newspaper reports, European aerospace consortium EADS is close to selling its Tarbes, France-based Socata division to Daher, an aerospace, defense, nuclear and automotive group headquartered in Wissous, France. An industry source close to the deal told AIN that Daher has completed the due diligence process, with the sale apparently hinging on Airbus awarding a contract for A350 work to Socata.
Daher's aerospace division has a "wealth of experience in the design, development and manufacturing of composite structural assemblies" for Airbus, Eurocopter, Dassault and Embraer, as well as equipment and services suppliers such as Latecoere. On Tuesday, Daher won a contract to design and manufacture composite structural elements for the Gulfstream G650.
French newspaper Journal du Dimanche earlier this week reported that Lucien Cazenave, the leader of the union at Socata, said that EADS wants to sell Socata–the manufacturer of the TBM 850 turboprop single–to raise cash following the collapse of the sale of Airbus production plants in Germany. EADS and Socata officials did not return AIN's multiple requests seeking comment.

Black mamba venom holds promise for pain relief
Scientists have used the venom of Africa's lethal black mamba snake to produce a surprising outcome in mice which they hope to replicate in humans - effective pain relief without toxic side-effects.
French researchers wrote in the journal Nature that peptides isolated from black mamba venom may be a safer pain killer than morphine.
In mice at least, the peptides bypass the receptors in the brain that are targeted by morphine and other opioid compounds which sometimes cause side-effects like breathing difficulties or nausea.
Nor do the peptides pose the same risk of addiction or drug abuse.
"We have identified new natural peptides, mambalgins, from the venom of the snake black mamba that are able to significantly reduce pain in mice without toxic effect," study co-author Anne Baron said.
"It is remarkable that this was made possible from the deadly venom of one of the most venomous snakes.
"[It] is surprising that mambalgins, which represent less than 0.5 per cent of the total venom protein content, has analgesic (pain-relief) properties without neurotoxicity in mice, whereas the total venom of black mamba is lethal and among the most neurotoxic ones."
Morphine is often regarded as the best drug to relieve severe pain and suffering, but it has several side-effects and can be habit-forming.
The black mamba's venom is among the fastest acting of any snake species, and a bite will be fatal if not treated with anti-venom - the poison attacking the central nervous system and causing respiratory paralysis.
Mice are among the agile adder's favourite prey in the wild in eastern and southern Africa.
Ms Baron, who works for France's national research institute, said researchers were confident the peptides would also work in humans "and are very interesting candidates as painkillers", but much work remains to be done.
She said a patent has been issued and a pharmaceutical company is examining the possibilities.

The Rankin Twins Find Garden of Love in 'Good Vibes' Video [Exclusive Premiere]
Subscribe to Taste of Country on
'Good Vibes,' a new single from country duo the Rankin Twins, hits iTunes Tuesday (Aug. 19), and to celebrate, the girls are exclusively premiering the beautiful video with Taste of Country.
If the song from the Austin duo — comprised of Amy and April Rankin — doesn't give you "good vibes," we don't know what will. The Rankin Twins' sweet voices shine, and the video is enchanting, complete with lovers in a garden. The video couple lovingly take Polaroids of one another while the Rankin Twins perform the song.
The girls don't just show off their harmonies in the clip, but also their sassy styles. They're obviously fond of floral prints, big hats and lots of bangles, and while they watch the couple in love, the Twins sing in front of a hedge, which really brings a summery feel.
Although Amy and April are twins, they have their own individual sound, and their separate voices harmonize well. They credit the Judds, Dixie Chicks and the Wreckers as some of their biggest influences — and it's evident! The duo combines country with bluegrass and pop to bring the 'Good Vibes,' which will appear on an upcoming album that is slated to drop in December. Buy the song here.

We wended our way southward today to Devon, enjoying beautiful scenery all the way there and cheering the warming temperature. Arriving at Killerton House was like entering an enchanting dream. I've seen many fine manor houses in England, but I have to say that Killerton now ranks as my absolute favorite. The exterior slightly resembles Luckington Court, which was used as "Longbourne" in the 1995 version of "Pride and Prejudice." But Killerton is much larger and has what has to be the most beautiful garden I've ever seen. We went there for the costume exhibit, but I have to say the house was every bit as satisfying to me. It also had one special highlight guaranteed to thrill me, but I'll share that in a moment. For now, here is a photo tour!
Let me take a moment here to just strongly recommend that you get to Killerton if you ever have the chance. It isn't just that the house and grounds are so very wonderful and the costume collection delightful–it is that every single staff member and volunteer who works here so obviously loves the estate and enjoys entertaining visitors. We were made to feel so welcome by every person we met, from the ticket seller in the welcome center to the manager of the tea room and everyone in between. I have never had such a feeling of good cheer and warmth and delight in any place I've toured. National Trust, you are doing a fabulous job with Killerton House! And all the hands-on things for children are simply icing on the cake. This is a great family outing if you can manage it. And we didn't even get to try the children's trail and play area!
After our lovely luncheon, we made our way back to the coach (through the shop, which was a complete trap, let me tell you!). We drove back to Exeter for our appointment with Shelley Tobin at Rougemont House, who was set to show us items from the collection stored there. The collection is used for displays at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. The museum is undergoing a massive renovation and will reopen in December 2012. Until then, the costume stores are rather crammed into corners at Rougemont House. Conservation is done in tiny rooms by a dedicated group of volunteers who are obviously in love with what they do. We enjoyed seeing a mid-Victorian paisley shawl being meticulously patched and reinforced with tiny (tiny) surgical needle and thread. Shelley obviously regretted being unable to take out more things for our inspection, but the space was just too limited. She looks forward to having all new spaces with plenty of room to spare when the museum is complete. But we enjoyed what we were able to ogle! Included was a Worth opera wrap (silk, lace, gilt–ah!), a 1670s shoe, a dear pair of 1795 striped leather shoes with very pointy toes, and a stunner of an 1830s dinner bonnet with ostrich plume and plump bows. Then we climbed upstairs to see rare lace and racks upon racks of garments being readied for the move to the new, improved conservation center. Bliss!
So that was our day! I've rounded it out by sneaking a late-night dessert in the lounge of Rudloe Hall while looking through photos and blogging. Having realized I've killed the third camera battery, I'm Googling to see if I can find one in Bath tomorrow (wish me luck!). Tomorrow morning we head to the Jane Austen Centre for a tour and luncheon. After that, we motor over to The American Museum in Britain at Claverton Hall. Should be a fun day!

Fever hit record 15 3's in blowout win over Sun
The Indiana Fever hit a franchise-record 15 three-pointers in a 95-61 blowout win over the Connecticut Sun Thursday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Fever jumped out quickly and never looked back, beating the Sun for the first time this season in three tries. 95 points marked a season-high for the Fever. The 34-point loss was the worst in Sun franchise history.
"I was very pleased with our team tonight," said Fever head coach Lin Dunn. "We set the tone early. I was disappointed we let the game get away the other night. Our bench did a good job. It was a well-played first half. We did things we had talked about. Our defense set the tone for us."
The Fever lost to Sun in overtime in Connecticut Tuesday.
"They looked like a team excited to play us after the game in Connecticut," said Sun coach Mike Thibault. "They competed better than us right from the get go. Obviously shot lights out, 15 threes. I just wish we could have played better."
The Fever hit nine three-pointers in the first half, also a Fever record, and led by 27 points at intermission. Briann January made four three's and scored a team-high 20 points for Indiana.
"We started it from the tip off," said January. "We picked up our defense, went back to basics and got back into the flow. We made it a point to get to the rim and attack them, make them play defense. We were more aggressive going to the basket instead of settling for jump shots."
"Our energy was not good at Connecticut," said Katie Douglas, who scored a pair of 3's to become just the 5th player in WNBA history to make 600 career three-pointers. "(Tonight) our foot was full throttle on the gas from the start. That's the way we need to come out and play every night and set the tone. The game tonight was more about us, not our opponent. Coming out and playing hard with a lot of energy and focus."
The Fever (6-4) had lost four of their last five games. Indiana plays at Tulsa Saturday at 8:00 p.m.

It's Not About Politics
The NAACP and the Iowa State Conference met with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad's office on Monday to address felony disenfranchisement and prison disparities in the state.
Jotaka Eaddy, NAACP Senior Director of voting rights had this to say about restoring the votes to former offenders:
It is not about politics--it is about the fundamental right to vote for people who have paid their debt to society to have the ability to participate in the democracy for which they are returning.
The Iowa governor's office stated that they have and will continue to work at streamlining the process for restoration applications; however, the number of those disenfranchised remains high. The NAACP will continue to work with the Iowa state conference and the governor to decrease disparities in the justice system and ensure a smoother process for those hoping to restore their rights.

Ron, I've somehow missed part of this thread, which is a shame since this is an area of primary concern for me. Your suggested algorithm seems to be designed to relieve I/O load by making more use of the CPU. (if I followed it correctly). However, that's not PostgreSQL's problem; currently for us external sort is a *CPU-bound* operation, half of which is value comparisons. (oprofiles available if anyone cares) So we need to look, instead, at algorithms which make better use of work_mem to lower CPU activity, possibly even at the expense of I/O. --Josh Berkus

Murrells Inlet buzzing about banged up bee boxes
Tue, 22 Jul 2014 22:48:30 GMT —
Someone stirred up a bee's nest in Murrells Inlet.
Stephen Mantell says somebody kicked over the bee hives behind his home.
Mantell says he's had the boxes in his backyard for at least eight years.
He says he gets a lot of satisfaction out of keeping bees and collecting honey.
"It's a good exercise, OK? It keeps me bloody fit," said Mantell.
Last Saturday, Mantell says he was shocked to find many of his bee boxes knocked over, with some of them dumped in a creek.
At first he thought the weather or an animal did it.
Then he spotted foot prints on the boxes.
"They kicked a few in here and knocked down the other ones and knocked down more. I certainly did lose an awful lot of my boxes," he said.
Mantell says he may have lost up to 90,000 bees and "more honey than you can shake a stick at."
He doesn't know who did it.
He says someone has complained to the Collins Glenn Homeowners Association about the hives.
"The HOA sent me a nice letter, asking me to remove them, but our HOA rules, there's nothing in there against having bees."
Mantell says he gives all his honey away.
He says the destruction cost him little in money, but a lot in time.
"If you think about your time to build a hive, that's two years in building it, three years before I get a substantial amount of honey out of it," he said.
Mantell says the police filed a report about the crime, but he doubts anything will come of it.
What he'd really like to find, he says, is a suspicious-looking person who has 30 or 40 bee stings.
NewsChannel 15 contacted the agent for the Collins Glenn Homeowners Association.
HOA board chairman, Janet Gage, responded that the HOA would not comment on the advice of their legal counsel


text: Kiyonari Wins Third BSB Title Press Release | October 10, 2010The following release is from MotorSports Vision…Ryuichi Kiyonari was crowned British champion for the third time after a final round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike series at Oulton Park of high drama and incident.He ended his season with a winning triple to head a HM Plant Honda one-two in the championship stakes ahead of his team-mate Josh Brookes.Kiyonari, the winner of seven races in a tough campaign, was delighted with his last round turn-around in fortune as he explained: "I'm very happy to be champion for the third time – it was a big fight all of the way to the end and we were very lucky, but this title means as much to me as the other two."It has been a hard season, nothing has been easy. Every race has been a hard fight but it feels good to leave here as number one. I am very happy, also very tired, but feel very good for myself and my team," added Kiyonari as he savoured his championship success.He had gone into the action at the Cheshire circuit in third place in the standings, but powered into contention as he won the first of the three races, on Saturday afternoon, running ahead of the leader in the title stakes Tommy Hill by almost a second.That was the first turning point of the weekend for Kiyonari, but, he was to enjoy a slice of good fortune at the expense of Hill as the Worx Suzuki rider made an over eager move to regain the lead from James Ellison on the seventh lap of the first of Sunday's races.Hill had made the early running, under pressure from Relentless Suzuki rider Michael Laverty with Ellison third on the Swan Honda from Kiyonari. Ellison was soon duelling with Hill for the lead, trading places, and Ellison had just moved ahead again.Trying to nose through, to regain the advantage on the inside line at Lodge Corner, Hill clipped Ellison's bike – they both tumbled, but Hill managed to re-start, only to crash spectacularly again shortly afterwards, extensively damaging his bike.Four other riders tumbled in the aftermath of that incident and the race was red-flagged. On the res-start, over seven laps, Kiyonari took charge, leading throughout to take the win comfortably from Brookes and Stuart Easton to move ahead, in the title stakes, of Hill who could only sit disconsolately and watch his title dreams fade.Hill's team worked wonders to repair his bike putting him on the grid for the final race of the campaign, though with a third row start, while Kiyonari was on pole and soon running out front, having overcome the early challenges of Laverty. He had a few anxious moments as the Safety Car intervened for two laps as marshals dealt with Gary Mason's crash, but, was back on the pace as the action resumed for real.Brookes was carving through the pack from seventh on the opening lap, and was soon duelling for fourth with Michael Rutter, whose season was to end shortly afterwards with a technical problem sidelining his RidersMotorcycles.com Ducati. Brookes went through and soon took Laverty to be running in second place and closing within 0.639secs of Kiyonari was taking his seventh victory of the campaign.Ellison, depite running ride at Hizzy's midway through the race took third from Laverty with Hill rewarded his team's work to rebuild his bike.Kiyonari celebrated the race win, and with it the British title, 649-625 over his team-mate Josh Brookes who reflected: "I gave everything to try and catch Kiyo, and went out with a bit of style. It is good to finish the season on a high, and I intend to do more next season, by winning the British Championship."Hill, who had led the title chase for most of the season, finished third overall on 620 points.Sunday race three – 16 laps1.
