Product Description
- Potent phytonutrient from the Amazonian rainforest
- Aça berries contain polyphenols and anthocyanins: powerful antioxidants
- Protects the body from harmful free radicals
- Convenient capsule form
The indigenous people of the South American rainforests have eaten aa berries for centuries: they have been a cornerstone of their survival, health, and well-being. Modern people throughout the world are now discovering the potent, antioxidant qualities of aa for themselves. Aa (Euterpe oleracea Mart) is one of the most naturally abundant plant species in the eastern Amazonian estuary floodplains. It is a slender, multi-stemmed palm that can reach a height of over 30 meters. The deep color of the purple berries gives notice of the health benefits within; richly colored fruits often contain the most potent anthocyanins. Planetary Herbals searches the world for safe, effective botanicals that support your health and well-being.
The Amazon rainforest has long been a center of mystery and power, a sacred link between humans and nature. It is the richest biological incubator on Earth, supporting millions of plant, animal, and insect species. The phytonutrients of rainforest plants are just beginning to be understood. Amazonian plants have given modern people such compounds as quinine, muscle relaxants, steroids, and potent drugs. Many untold treasures await discovery with these exotic plants used by shamans, healers, and the indigenous peoples of the rainforest. Long used in the forests for health and food, modern Brazilians use the berry in desserts, side dishes, drinks, jellies, liquor, and frozen ice-cream-like treats. The taste has been likened to a tangy blueberry with a hint of chocolate.
Acai is a palm from the Amazonian rainforest. It has small, purple fruits that have been used by Brazilian natives for food and health for hundreds of years. The active constituents in Aça are polyphenols and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that benefit the entire body by protecting cells from free radicals.
Suggested Use: 2 capsules daily.
Other Ingredients: gelatin (capsule), maltodextrin, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.

Can you have cloud computing without virtualization? I don't think so. Some have stated to me that they believe a cloud could b contrived without virtualization but I don't see it. Cloud computing is all about being able to expand or contract an enterprise on demand and as a service. Without deployable virtual images there is no mechanism for doing this efficiently.
I suppose that you could argue that clouds do not necessarily include the OS or the hardware and that you could scale by use of templates and configuration files to clone systems. That is cloning. Cloning, spawning, parallel processing and other mechanisms for creating capacity and processing power dont have the scope that a full cloud implementation has. Cloud computing is an administration paradigm that may share or even employ some or all of these other techniques but can include more.
I guess the biggest thing that sets cloud computing apart from cloining or spawning is that cloud computing is a paradigm for a flexible distributed computing platform. Cloning and spawing are techniques as is Virtualization.Clouds are entire managed infrastructures where virtulized systems are simply tools and cloning is a function of products.

Paying more for a bike does not make it "high end" putting a well thought out build together with the components that you want, that meet your needs, that work well together will make a better bike every single time.
It has been over 5 years since i have bought a complete (except for my dirt jumper, kids bikes and my fiance's XC bike) every other bike in my garage was bought as a frame and I put the parts on it that I wanted.
My road bike is a 1970 something Schwinn supersport. It's still sitting in my parents garage in the unridden since the 70's state that my dad gave it to me in.
You can argue all you want, but each year the manufacturers come out with new product, product they have improved upon from the "last" generation. Be it frame design, frame aerodynamics, materials used, etc.
To go back to it, you posted a wheelset from 2003. You paid $1000 for a similar wheelset at some time. Would you pay $1000 for the 2003 wheelset that had never been used or would you pay $1000 for a 2013?
Things improve.
So, were the 2003 wheels a good price at $2-300? Sure, but depending on how many miles were on them, how hard they were ridden, how well they were maintained etc. My comment that they should be a good deal because they are 10 years old, still holds true.
Are you done yet?

Kickstand, where did I say "bikes have not improved at all in the last 10 years"? Small changes for sure, big changes not so much.
So since you never answered my question about riding truly high end bikes I'm guessing you never have. The article you quoted about the mavic ksyriums said they made "small changes but have not been completely redesigned since they have came out and still remain one of the top wheels". What does that tell you?? What it tells me is that the top wheels in the late 90s early 2000s are the same as they were before except for SMALL CHANGES like milling a little material on the side of the rim, a rear hub that has more even tension on the spokes and a couple other trivial things. I bet they are maybe 100 grams lighter at the most and they may hold true just a pinch better but not much. 10 years later and they are basically the same. Huh, who woulda thought....

I answered your question, I told you I don't buy completes. I try not to know how much I have into my bikes. I don't build them with shit components though.
My Fork cost more than your complete Voodoo Bizango. Is that high end enough for you?
I prefer sram components, I run xo shifters/derailuers, you think those are ok?
Mavic hoops, hope pro II Evo hubs
Avid Code brakes on the DH bikes, Elixir's on the XC bikes, and have a few pairs of juicy 3/5/7's laying around.
Is any of that stuff any good bike shop guy?
here let me go back and put this all into persepctive for you.
you said.
Then YOU said:
I even told you already that, I mean I gave you that frames haven't made a BUNCH of improvments (again hardtail and road bike frames) but I still stand buy the fact that they HAVE improved.
Then, you go back into your road bike thing, and being lighter and a bunch of retarded shit, when nobody said anything about lighter, if you go back and look I mentioned mavic has made improvements to some of their hubs for reliability, no mention whatsoever of weight.
2. Suspension-Yeah, this is where you just got retarded and looked like a fool. In the late 90's and early 2000's we were riding elastomer suspension forks with terrible damping systems and rear suspension systems that had massive pedal bob, brake jack, serious chain growth/shrinkage issues through the suspension cycle, etc. Todays suspension is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the shit we rode 10-15 years ago, and still even better than the stuff we rode 5 years ago. My 2009 Kona Coilair doesn't hole a CANDLE to todays 6" all mountain and enduro bikes that the Coilair was built to be. Kona doesn't even make a coiler/coilair anymore and the bikes that replaced it have had significant tweaks to the suspension to improve on the design.
I won't even get into single pivots, horst links, dw-links, vpp links.
3. Disc Brakes - Clearly you don't know much about disc brakes.
Should I keep going?
Bikes have improved, components have improved, and small improvements in all areas of bikes (major improvements in others) all add up to better more improved bikes.

The reason I asked about how many high end top of the line bikes you have actually had experience with is not to say ha ha I'm better, it was to see if you had any real world experience with them or if you just go by what you read on the Internet. I did a little Internet research and found out that you are 100% right. The last decade has had more improvements in bicycle technology than any decade prior to this one. In y2k we were still riding junk elastomer shocks just like you said. i now realize that you have had the opportunity to ride and work on miltiple top end bikes built in every generation and have seen first hand for yourself how much better they have gotten. You are right and I am wrong, ill go back licking the windows of the short bus.

By Paul Abelson
"When in the course of public endeavors, it becomes necessary to idle engines in order to accomplish assigned tasks … "
Maybe it's not in our Declaration of Independence, but until now, work truck operators have had no alternative to idling. To operate a power take-off, the engine must be running while the truck is stationary. Plus, an idling truck's climate-controlled cab often provides refuge for work crews during cold winters and hot summers.
As air quality standards evolve, idle reduction technologies have gotten a lot of attention. In the early 2000s, the Department of Energy began promoting idle reduction primarily as a fuel-saving strategy. Now U.S. EPA, the California Air Resources Board, and other entities have enacted anti-idling laws aimed at reducing pollution.
There are several good reasons public works fleets should be on board:
High fuel prices, the first and most obvious. Even if you have an advantageous purchasing contract, today's prices will eventually catch up.
Public image is always a factor for high-profile municipal fleets. People equate idling with air pollution, and frown upon fleets that idle excessively.
Avoiding fines. In some jurisdictions, especially in California, public works fleets have been fined for violating pollution requirements and idling restrictions. When enforcement is the responsibility of a pollution abatement organization, no fleet is immune.
Fleet managers now have access to alternatives, including the following options, which can keep drivers and crews comfortable without idling.
Generating heat (and cold)
The most common idle reduction technology is the auxiliary power unit. With small diesel engines, the units generate electric power or mechanical energy to run air conditioners and heaters.
The units power inverters that change 12-V direct current (DC) to 120-V alternating current (AC), providing household current in trucks. AC provides more options for heat and air conditioning. Many inverters also have battery chargers.
Fuel-fired heaters were developed because air-cooled engines didn't provide enough heat. Unlike engines, which create multiple controlled explosions, fuel-fired heaters have a continuous flame that creates virtually no pollution.
Heat pumps can also warm truck cabs by drawing in and heating outside air. They can be driven electrically, by generators or battery power, or mechanically by an auxiliary power unit.
Alternatively, the Autotherm Energy Recovery System captures heat from the engine block after it shuts down, and blows it into the cab. This system is well-suited for light- to medium-duty truck cabs, but the heat is limited to "about four hours on a winter day," according to the manufacturer, Enthal Systems Inc.
Battery-powered options
Batteries can also power hydraulics and other devices that once required an idling engine and a power takeoff. Some hydraulic boom operations can run almost a full shift on battery power alone.
Many manufacturers offer systems that run on absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, with greater power density (electricity available per unit of weight) than traditional lead-acid batteries. They offer racks to hold multiple batteries and an optional inverter.
Ultra capacitors, about the size of a Group 31 battery typically used in diesel trucks, can start a large truck. A battery box can hold one ultra capacitor and several AGM batteries with no significant increase in weight.
Bergstrom's NITE hybrid system- has an electric air conditioner and an Espar fuel-fired heater. An optional, small (1.4 kilowatt), single-cylinder Kohler generator keeps AGM batteries charged.
Several manufacturers offer 12-V DC air conditioners that require enclosures for work truck cabs. Typically, electric air conditioners provide about 10 hours of cooling, while fuel-fired systems work as long as fuel is available. (Keep in mind that many smaller units are designed to maintain temperature in an already cool cab. Don't expect them to rapidly chill a cab that has been sitting for hours in the desert heat.)
Enviro-Fleet's self-contained, roof-mounted heating and air conditioning units are ideally suited to public works vehicles. No plumbing for refrigerant is needed; only a source of 120-V AC current.
What the trade calls "truck stop electrification" or "shore power" is the most effective and economical power source. It can be used anywhere trucks are stored, and only requires outlets for 110/120-V DC current. Operators can connect trucks to the outlets to top off batteries or run climate-control systems while in a yard or garage.
The needs of hybrid vehicles are spurring battery technology, including lightweight lithium and nickel chemistry. These batteries will have power density greater than the best we have now.
The biggest hurdle for adopting the new technologies is cost. A fuel-fired heater alone can run from about $1,000, while a fully featured auxiliary power unit can top $10,000. Enviro-Fleet's heating and air conditioning combination units start below $3,000, not including the source of AC electricity. Fuel savings and delayed maintenance will offset these costs, and prices will drop as demand grows. Consequently, we'll see more use of electricity for idle reduction.

Can fun. follow in the legendary footprints of Christopher Cross?
That will be the question of the night on Sunday, Feb. 10, when the 55th annual Grammy Awards takes place in Los Angeles. The New York City power-pop band is the only act nominated in all four of the so-called "general field" categories Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.
If fun. sweeps hardly an improbable notion it will become only the second act in history to win all four of those biggies during the same Grammy ceremony. Cross did it in 1981 he also won the Best Song Oscar for "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" that year and went on to relative obscurity.
A rare feat • There are many good reasons Cross' achievement has yet to be duplicated, including the theory that Grammy voters like to "spread the wealth" among the artists nominated in those four categories. Yet the strongest reason is that it's rare for acts to be nominated for both Album of the Year and Best New Artist.
Typically, Grammy voters like to hand out Album of the Year to well-established acts. Over the past 20 years, the award has gone to three debut offerings Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me" in 2003, Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" in 1996 and "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" in 1990. And for our purposes, Hill's win must be coupled with an asterisk, since she had previously proven her talent as a member of the Fugees.
Yet this is a new era for the Grammy Awards, as voters seem dead set on showing that they're not oblivious to what is current and noteworthy in the music industry. That's a major change for a crew that had previously awarded Album of the Year to Natalie Cole (over R.E.M.) in 1991, Celine Dion (over Beck, the Fugees and Smashing Pumpkins) in 1997, Steely Dan (over Radiohead and Eminem) in 2001 and Herbie Hancock (over Amy Winehouse and Kanye West) in 2008.
Aiming for hip • In 2011, Grammy voters made a strong statement that they're no longer ignoring indie/alt rock and newer artists when they gave Album of the Year to Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs," over Eminem's more-deserving "Recovery." (We're still waiting for voters to improve on their pitiful record in honoring rap artists with the big awards.)
This year's batch of major-category nominees is further proof that Grammy voters want to show they're hip to what is hip. They ignored offerings by longtime Grammy favorites such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Coldplay even though Springsteen's and Dylan's efforts are better than most of the nominees in the Album of the Year category and embraced hot R&B newcomer Frank Ocean, indie-rock god Jack White, fun. and other trendy picks.
The exclamation point could come if Grammy voters decide to really have some fun. on Sunday night and etch that band's name alongside Cross as the only artists to win all four of the general-field categories in a single year.
Now that would be hip.
Listen to the music
The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast (with a one-hour tape-delay) at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, on Channel 2.

Yea, there were a couple people disappointed that we didn't get Cousins.
JTrain absolutely nailed the analysis of GM. Impressive.
I'm not finding the analysis of which you speak. Perhaps that is the point?
Isotayshauns.... I like it (The name, not the actual event...)
I had a bad case of Isotayshauns last week and it was quite uncomforatble. The doctor gave me some sort of cream and a shot of penicillin and it cleared right up.
When I got it, my doctor told me that I just needed to stop standing in a corner for 20-second intervals.
And quit palming your ball all night long.
If you can't stop standing in the corner and palming your ball, then Arnie will rub a frozen banana on it.
That's a bad symptom. I walked around backwards while dribbling a basketball for 3 days before my wife finally looked it up on Web-MD.
Have you ever had the symptom in which you hate your boss so you call up all your co-workers and just skip work for a day? That's a nasty one.

I was looking on CNN today and St.Louis has the higest crime rate of any city in the country, Kansas City was also up there. Man Missouri needs to do something, good thing after one more year, I will probably been in some graduate school somewhere else in the US
Sorry to hear about that, but I must say that I am glad to find out that it is not the NY-NJ metropolitan area!
Its sad to say but this world needs an enema ! :roll:
Eye for an Eye and it would all stop real quick !
Buck :twisted:
kor4ever, What part of St.Louis you live in. And also, where do you get your plants. I want to find some more lfs in the area.
Yeah, I used to live in the NY/NJ Metro area, when it was at its highest and it improved considerably (or maybe other areas of the country got worse?). Now I live in the New Orleans area, and it has one of the highest murder rates in the country!
yeah, eye for an eye. Anyone hear that Willie Nelson/Toby Keith song that's been playing?
"Justice is the one thing you should always find,
You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line.
When the gunsmoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
Then we'll all head down to the local saloon.
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, Singin'
Whiskey for my men... and beer for my horses."
Well that about sums it up IMO--gotta love that Willie Nelson!
Hey I don't want to offend here but has anyone ever thought that the reason that the crime rates around the Western World is contributed largely by two factors.
1) The capitalist system requires many of the participants to be under privileged so that a very small minority can gain the most.
2) The system also needs the majority of people to be totally ignorant of politics and the monetary and financial system. If you don't educate the people they turn into savages and without money and power savages will kill others because of their ignorance.
So when you look at the crime rates, you should think about who you voted into power and see what their policy is on education and welfare for all. Good bet that they don't give a hoot about the little people only those with education and power!!!
Like there was never any crime in a socialist, communist, or even fascist society?
Rumples, with all due respect, your description of the capitalist system seems more like an X-Files conspiracy than an economic system. Anyone with a good idea and/or some hard work can be successful in a capitalist society. That is both the beauty of the system, and its downfall. It requires a person to actually apply themselves. Something many people aren't willing to do. How many times have you heard people say "I'm not going to work at Mc Donalds..". Why not? Because it is beneath them. That is one of the reasons why so many jobs have left the US. People fell that the work doesn't pay enough or is too menial. Hey, $2 is better than $1, and $1 is better than $0. Can anyone say "welfare state"?
Education is always the answer isn't it? The answer is never morality, decency or thoughtfulness!
I have a very hard time with this argument Rumples. Case in point, being from a family of immigrants, as you Aussies also are, my ancestors didn't have the education. They worked, faced discriminations, and overcame. No one even dreamed of stealing, or hurting someone else. No, education is not the be all end all of answers.
People are becoming desensitized to violence, and violence begets violence. TV shows glamorize criminals and criminal behavior. It becomes cool. How many people reading this watch some of these shows? Unfortunately there are a lot of people who like to emulate the attitudes and behaviors they see on these shows. Once again, it becomes cool. I saw a bit on the news about a video game for sale. The games motive was to steal cars. Ridiculous! To make matters worse, the vicarious car thief earned extra points by beating prostitutes to death with a golf club. Wonderful! If I had an eight year old you could be sure jolly ol' St. Nick would be dropping that one off.
I would agree that people are ignorant, but again, their ignorance is not cause by some great capitalist conspiracy. Many people are ignorant because they are just plain not interested. Mention Play Station, Eminem, Joe Millionaire, who won the American Idol or the latest stupidity out of Hollywood, and they know. Heck, the people of New York elected a senator who never lived in their state! Now that is ignorance.
When I look at crime rates I do think about who I elected into power. I know what their stance on education and welfare is. The only good bet is that most of their constituents are the ones who don't give a hoot!
Hey I think that we are coming from parrallel arguments here. You say that crime is based on desensitisation and lack of moral fibre. Yes this is true but when someone is educated they are more likely to understand the full ramifications of their actions. Added to this is the notion that educated people make better informed decisions. Particularly in regard to elections.
Our society is morally bankrupt because there are those who pray on the ignorance of others. People watch those crap shows and games because they have little understanding or want of learning. I would rather watch a Documentary anyday than watching some senslessly violent show.
I don't think that it is a capitalist conspiracy, but ignorance is necessary for the system to function as it does. I am sure that if people had good education and could read (meaning understand and analyse the information) then informed actions would result and ergo crime rates would be lowered by at least half.
Added to this is the fact that 85% of all criminal cases in Australia are property related. Property ownership is a capitalist concept, "what's mine is mine". People generally steal because they do not either have the means of production or they need to steal so that they can live. If everything belonged to everyone, and everyone had equal access (not what has been tried in the past) then there would not be any reason to steal or kill someone for their wallet. The key is education, even the Greeks understood that. Educating all will help change the system and move towards Utopia.
BTW I am a director and owner of a company which has an annual turnover of about 2 Million dollars. I am not coming at this from some university drop out position, I profit from a postion of power, but that does not mean I have to think it is OK. I just do this for money and to live my life. 8)
The more thought I give this, I think you are right, our points do parallel each other to some degree.
But I really don't think that everything boils down to education. In my opinion, morality is not something that is taught in a classroom, nor should it be. Morality, decency and common sense are learned through life experience. The "University of Life", so to speak. I don't think you necessarily need to be taught cause and effect or the consequences of actions in a classroom.
People do pray on the ignorance of others, that is true, as ignorance has a bit of a connotation of innocence to me. However, I would rather say they pray upon the stupidity of others. People don't watch crap or emulate T.V., radio, movies or the inappropriate actions of others because they did not receive an education (education is something I think you and I need to define!)or are ignorant. Many people do these things because they are just plain stupid. They watch crap, listen to garbage and act as if they are mobsters or criminals because those people are nothing more than stupid. People buy violent video games and toys for their children because they are stupid. Stupid does not simply imply uneducated. No amount of education is going to eradicate stupidity.
I still think you are being a bit "over the top" in your views on the workings of the capitalist system. My goodness Rumples, I feel I should pull out my old copy of the Manifesto, dig up Karl and Frederick and go out on strike. I've nothing to lose but my chains!! Maybe I should go out and join the ranks of the "Fat Cats" and exploit the working class. Damn the proletariat. Onward running dogs! I still like you :wink: , but I really think you are being a bit extreme. Utopia... come on!!! Keep waiting for the Great Leap Forward, just don't hold your breath! :wink: :wink:
This has been a very fun discussion indeed Rumples. I have enjoyed it immensely. I feel you and I will never agree on this one. However, I guarantee you and I will always agree on our love of planted aquaria!!
You neo-conservative friend in New Jersey,
I agree with regarding the stupidity of others. For some no amount of education will remove the factor of stupidity.
But I would roughly define education as being able to read and write with the ability to question of what is being presented before oneself. Reading is defined as understanding of the text before oneself or the information as presented. (This accounts for humans reading signals from human interaction, such as the ability to detect falsehoods through demeanor)
Yeah not holding my breath, especially with the current witch hunts that are occurring through out the world. Just like being in the dark ages with the inquistions. Bring out your heretics. However that is another topic, probably one which many of your country men would disagree ( depending on level of indoctrination) with me. :)
You are sure right able the love for planted aquaria, although can profess to know to much about this at present.
As far as your aquarium, you are a bright, intelligent man! You'll get this whole aquarium thing down soon enough, of that I am sure!

I think most of the confusion comes from what people typically determine to be rich/wealthy. Which isn't even close to the elite who TBeek is talking about. There is a difference.
I have never met a wealthy man who was not generous. I have worked for some very wealthy people. Mit Romney has done more for those in need than any race baiting, class envy huckster. creep. (think Obama). I became sick to my stomach when I read Alinsky's guide to the ruin of society. "Class envy". Fools will follow.

The current government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was created due to a series of compromises between factions including powerful religious political parties who dislike Palestinians and do not seek peace with any Arab entity. After months of negotiation, the Palestinian Authority agreed to return to the peace table even though still upset at Netanyahu's continued efforts to further housing development in the West Bank and E. Jerusalem. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Jerusalem with warm words of praise in the morning about willingness to talk with Palestinians, but by the afternoon he was furious and blasted Israel for undermining peace efforts.
Within twenty four hours, Biden was joined by Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak who denounced the announcement that Israel would proceed with building 1,600 apartments in E. Jerusalem. His office made clear his feeling: "the entourage of Defense Minister Ehud Barak expresses its anger after the unwarranted announcement which affects peace negotiations with the Palestinians–negotiations of the highest interest for Israel."
A spokesman for the Palestinians said the housing decision was a "dangerous decision that will torpedo the negotiations and sentence the American efforts to complete failure." the ball is in the court of Netanyahu–Israel first or votes first is the question!

Have you checked out the GunnersGaming Football Predictor yet?
Want to know who is going to win? What the score will be? Or who will score? Check out the probability of all the outcomes to help you predict what will happen.
Thanks to our comprehensive football database and data visualisation software we are able to use a complex algorithm to scientifically predict the probability of all the potential eventualities.
Stoke v Arsenal
Arsenal have just three games left to secure Champions League qualification and Saturday's trip to the Britannia Stadium will certainly be a strong test of their credentials. With Chelsea having progressed to the Champions League final, the race for the top four may yet take another twist and finishing third must be the No 1 objective to avoid any nasty surprises.
Despite recent struggles at Stoke, The Football Predictor suggests that Arsenal should get the result they need. But with 1-0 (at 11/2) its favoured scoreline, a nervy affair may well be on the cards.
Robin van Persie is our top goalscorer against the Potters with five career goals, including two braces. Could he get his first hat-trick against Tony Pulis' side at 18/1?
Lastly, with both Theo Walcott and Mikel Arteta sidelined through injury, Gervinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Yossi Benayoun are likely to play an important role in unlocking the organised Potters defence. Back Benayoun to score at 7/2.

Ugh, I just don't get a break. I let the huge patch install over night, and now some maintenance.
Ugh, I just don't get a break. I let the huge patch install over night, and now some maintenance.
So how long is this maintenance supposed to be?
And yeah the same thing happened to me Defacont, downloaded it overnight, and now I can't play, heh.
Anyone got a key left? Would appreciate one
Also, my name ingame is GetBent if anyone wants to group up instead of going it alone.
Oh yeah, I'm on the East server.
Does this game remind anyone else of Demon's Soul? It seems very similar.
Damn shame that EU can't just play :( Only way around it seems to be to use a proxy, any success?
I'm going to try that, but yeah its a shame, two accounts gone to waste mostly, one of mine and my girlfriend's.
5 bucks says Nexon ruins it in half a year or less
Game's awesome right now but...
Hang on, I'm confused. Can EU players not try the beta? Should I just cancel this download?
Wow gameplay 10/10?
Come on, you know it's repetitive.
Oh also, characters get erased after every beta phase right?
They aren't being wiped this time
i can login and start the game but when i am at the boat screen all the words are rectangles D:
Well, something interesting happened during the download phase. The downloader crashed around one gig into the first file, but somehow, it decided to install the game anyway.
I managed to play through the first section and got up to the docks to head off to a quest (Tieve wouldn't talk to me at the inn), but then it crashed. Redownloading now, but it was pretty fun up to that point. I just hope my shitty internet doesn't let me down when it comes to partying time.
More server downtime
Anyone know the best way to get leather? I haven't seen any since the first friggin quest and I"m nearly level 12 now
I just got to finish off that damn hairy bastard at the start, got into the character creation screen, then server downtime, apparently around 2 hours worth.
Game seems like a great mix of Demons Souls and Monster Hunter, fucking epicly good.
that Red Gnoll boss is freakin' epic
That Red gnoll boss is a pain in the ass. Although loading everybody up with those grappling hooks makes the battle hilarious. Constantly tripping and pounding him for 5 minutes was great.
Server Maintenance going on
01 hr n 10 min left
Slaying a boss, alone because nobody made it that far yet, apparently
Eh what the hell, here's another
Is it US only? :colbert:
And Canada
Or simply get Proxifier, find a sock5 NA proxy, bam, play the game :lol:
Fuck you Nexon.
Some of the latter armor/weapon sets look really amazing, only seen the ones for the girl though, but damn, so good.
I like knocking them off balance with shield then grabbing them and smashing their skulls into walls.
Somebody pm me a key and I'll post the two they send me in this thread.
some send me a key
I posted this in the other thread, but, anyone have a spare key? I gave out my two keys from signing up to people on FP, I didn't think my brother would want to play. But now he wants one. I would appreciate it if you could PM me, thanks.
FINALLY!! I get to play, I've been waiting for this for a long time.
If anyone has a spare key, I'd love to have it.
Lol, screenshots on finishing moves.. same pose.
I love finishing with Falcon kick though.
Like spy crab.

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------NeatDesk Desktop Scanner$249.99 + $5 ShippingCondition: Refurbished*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
These are't bad at all, they scan well and are more convient than firing up a huge printer with 100's of buttons when you just something scanned.
Only an uber-organization freak would consider buying one of these. But, if you're like me and already an uber-organization freak, you're already so uber-organized that you don't really need one of these. Unless of course you enjoy uber-reorganizing things in different formats and locations. Then you need one. And you're uber-weird.
Q: Will this work with a Mac?
A: Yes, provided you make the correct selection during checkout.
I've criticized the NeatReceipts scanning systems in the past woots mainly due to the software it uses. I was happy to see that they did a complete overhaul of the NeatReceipts software and recently released it in version 5 which is a free software upgrade. This version is much easier to use and eliminated many of the issues I had with the software in the past.
EDIT: I can't comment on this scanner, I own the Portable version, but they do use the same software.
Pretty good price, but the reviews on amazon point out some flaws: http://www.amazon.com/review/R31WJP0ECL4IO6/ref=cm_cr_dp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001CQ8ER2&nodeID=172282&tag=&linkCode=
Great for the office! and I love the software it's super easy to set up and use!
Got the portable last week. Played with it this weekend. Software is okay, but since receipts aren't in the same format every time, it does funny things. This made doing taxes easier and will make it easier next year since everything will be better filed. I think you can get the software on their site for free but maybe I misunderstood when i saw it the other day.
Tried this out before and it worked way better than I thought it would, especially on receipts. Quite effecient for the lazy guy like myself.
Someone out there actually owns/have used this scanned? I was wondering what made it so... well... more expensive than your typical flatbed scanner a-la Canon?
Version 5 software is Windows only. Why Woot again misrepresents what you get I don't understand? Mac Version comes with version 3.
[ Thunderthighs: Thanks for the info. I passed it on to the sales team to see first thing in the morning. ]
I saw the desktop version in action. Scans very fast, and you don't have to feed each page manually like the portable version (I own the portable version, and it's... just not as good. Decent, but it's slow and it really likes to let the receipts go anywhere but straight). Too bad I already own the portable version and the price for this is juuuuuust a little too expensive for me.
And I can vouch for Neat 5 software. Much better than the bloated outgoing software.
This scanner is too thin to scan my butt and put copies in my coworkers inboxes Is the top removable to fit "wider" documents?
I have the small scanner and love it.
I teach in a school with very crowded classrooms. I've always wondered if this machine could be used to quickly scan student work and categorize it by class or student name on my computer. Saving on the mess of hundreds of papers to take home, and allowing students to keep their notes and work. Could it be used for such a purpose or is it more for receipts and whatnot?
WAY overpriced. Just get a good reliable all-in-one printer/faxer/scanner/copier that has good reviews for far less money.
What your buying with this w00t is software. Software that you can find online for free.
Therefore don't buy it unless your a newbie of the tech world.
If you really need the desktop or are buying it for organizational use, by all means get this one.
I bought the smaller, portable version and am very impressed with it. I have not had any problems with it reading things in properly, and I've never had anything turn on me as it was being scanned in.
The only reason I bring this up is because I bought the portable one from woot and it was much cheaper. If I had the money, I'd probably go for this desktop version, but as I said, the portable one works extremely well also.
They also recently updated their software, but I didn't have any issues with their software before the update.
It seems that with so many smaller scanners on the market, this one would not be too popular. Does anyone have one of these? Is there a benefit to having this one over one of the scanners that you slide over a document?
Will this scanner be an acceptable substitute to reproduce the scene from Office Space?
I have a HP scanner. Will this one be a useful addition?
maui wrote:I have a HP scanner. Will this one be a useful addition?
No, they'll fight horribly and the NeatDesk will call the HP fat resulting in an eating disorder that requires you to scan everything twice on the HP. It's really quite sad how they don't get along
This product forum is for discussion about the product. If you want to discuss April Fool's and the Bunnies Ogling Carrots please take your conversation to the World of Woot, such as the Writer's Strike post.
Thank you.

What software (and where) did you find online that works like the Neat software?
EDIT: Can this scan double sided documents, like 20 or 30 page double sided contracts, etc?
Receipts in paper waste our overharvested trees.
Interesting reviews and user comments on NeatDesk vs competing products.
Check it out:
The amazon reviews for the Mac version are even worse - an average for about 2.5. I had hoped that maybe the negative reviews were for earlier versions but even the most recent postings were still more negative than not.
I'm going to bed without buying.
I bought the desktop version about six months ago and the scanner is the best one I've used. It's fast and the scan quality is good. However, the only bad thing with the scanner is that it doesn't have a guide so whatever you scan will/may scan skewd.
I got the mobile scanner last week just for portability. Will hopefully get it this week.
If you want to be organize, get this. It can also help declutter your desk.
I purchased the portable version from woot some time ago and love it. The only things I have encountered are problems with it auto-filing info from some business cards (e.g. when card has stylized fonts and layout) and problems scanning receipts that are age-faded. For those receipts I have to fire up the old photo scanner, adjust the image, print it, and then feed it into neatreceipts scanner. Of course the lesson is to not let receipts sit in car for ages :-)
Edit to add - the portable version (and thus i would assume the desktop version does as well) will scan docs into pdf files for you. Feature comes in very handy when you have to email documents.
tms10000 wrote:Someone out there actually owns/have used this scanned? I was wondering what made it so... well... more expensive than your typical flatbed scanner a-la Canon?
I have both this one (bought at the last woot) and a flatbed scanner. The Neat will scan both sides (black & white or color) of a stack of documents in less than a minute. The character recognition is pretty good and lets me organize receipts very easily. Didn't think I'd use it or like it as much as I do.
What happens if I later need to return an item and I've discarded the receipt because I scanned it? Has anyone had this happen? Did they accept a copy of the receipt from the scanner?
I know they don't accept copies for product rebates so how could someone prove that they were the original buyer and didn't just scan a receipt from someone elses purchase?

Since some shops require the original receipt for returns, I would suggest hanging on to the receipt until return period has passed, even though it's been scanned.
Does it work with mac?
prakashgupta wrote:Does it work with mac?
Yes, apparently
We got one of these at my boss's home office. It is GREAT... AMAZING even. FAST and user friendly. If you have a mac, you'll have to call customer support to get a link to download the mac software and receive a new product key.
neat scanners are great especially for receipts so you don't have them all over the place!
I have a mac, I'm using the neat portable scanner with ABBY OCR to convert to searchable PDF. Then I use DevonThink personal database to keep track of all the receipts.Even spotlight can find receipts pretty well. Apparently the Neatworks software has a habit of crashing a lot on the mac. I would like to get a scanner with an auto feed such as this one. However, Im extremely reluctant to get this because of the lack of software quality. If I was running a PC I might pull the trigger because the software for the PC is much better. Maybe if I hold out for a while the software will get better for the mac, then I won't have to use a third party solution for their hardware.
This got me to thinking about preserving my vital documents, but after a little digging I think I might give the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 the job instead of the NeatDesk.
This review is slightly dated, but the points brought up aren't any weaker for it.
I like the idea of the included Acrobat license with the Fujitsu over fumbling with inferior proprietary software that is destined to destroy files the second I shred them or become obsolete over the course of various service packs and OS releases as I've seen happen to so many other products which are now e-waste.
I've tried both the Neat and Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners, and I think the Fujitsu is the better choice. Both are fast and scan both sides, but the Fujitsu—IMHO—works better and more reliably. This isn't a bad price, but I'd still go with the Fujitsu.
I got this from a previous w00t and though I was originally reluctant to spend the money, I am very glad I did. I have to have electronic scans of all my travel receipts for work. Because of the autofeed function for the tiny receipts, using this scanner is easier and quicker to use than the big floor model printer scanner at work that won't autofeed little receipts. The recognition software works well, too. One other great feature is being able to scan receipts and documents throughout the year for tax time. You can do this same work with a cheap scanner, some OCR software and doing the electronic filing yourself, but this package does all that for you saving oodles of time...which can be a precious commodity.

The new French regulation applying to national insurance contributions for managers and shareholdersFrench insurance contributions on executive and shareholder remuneration (pay + dividends) have been substantially increased by the National Insurance Funding for 2013 Act, No. 2012-1404, of 17th December 2012. Until 31st December 2012, all dividends were subject to national insurance contributions on unearned income but henceforth, under Article L136-3 of the National Insurance Code, amended by Act No. 2012-1404, certain dividends are considered as pay received by executives and shareholders and are therefore subject to the national insurance contributions on pay. The Act also abolished the ceiling on health insurance contributions payable by the self-employed and all this means that businesses must rethink the way that they have been structured until now.

Viper's Bugloss
Additional Common Names: Patterson's Curse
Scientific Name: Echium plantagineum
Family: Boraginaceae
Toxicity: Toxic to Horses
Toxic Principles: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids
Clinical Signs: The plant is not very palatable, but will be eaten by animals with no other forage; poisonings typically occur from ingestion of green plant material or material in hay. The toxic components can cause liver failure, referred to as "walking disease" or "sleepy staggers". Signs include weight loss, weakness, sleepiness, yawning, incoordination, yellowish discoloration to mucous membranes (icterus), neurologic problems secondary to liver failure (aimless walking, chewing motions, head pressing). Animals may appear to be normal at first, then become suddenly affected; the syndrome progresses rapidly over a few days to a week.

Printed microelectrodes for detection of neurotransmitters from cells
Emerging printed electronics technologies posses a high potential for fabrication of cheap disposable sensors for biological applications. In this technical note we present a printed disposable system for recording neurotransmitter release from individual cells.
Alexey Yakushenko, Jan Schnitker, and Bernhard Wolfrum
Article appeared in: Anal. Chem., 2012, 84 (10), pp 4613–4617
Published: April 18, 2012
Techniques for monitoring vesicular release of neurotransmitters can be used to investigate processes related to chemical signal transduction between neurons or neuron-like cell lines. Diverse electrochemical methods are particularly suited to detect readily oxidizable neurotransmitters such as dopamine, adrenaline, and serotonin. Single vesicle release of neurotransmitters has been intensively studied using amperometric techniques. In amperometry, the potential of the working electrode is kept constant against a reference electrode, namely, above or below the redox potential at which the molecule of interest is oxidized or reduced, respectively. The technique has the advantage of high temporal resolution and sensitivity while lacking selectivity toward different molecules with similar redox potentials. The working electrode of choice for such measurements is usually a carbon-fiber microelectrode, which exhibits a wide potential window and inert electrochemistry. On the other hand, carbon microelectrodes cannot be easily integrated on a chip for direct cell culturing. Planar metal microelectrodes, which are extensively used for measurements of electrical activity of cells in the neurophysiological community, are, however, more prone to chemical fouling after prolonged exposure to electrolytes and have a narrower potential window that limits their application. Nevertheless, metal electrode arrays enable direct cell culture growth and in vitro detection of single vesicle release. Fabrication of these microelectrodes requires optical lithography or similar clean-room technologies for fabrication. This makes the production cost of planar microelectrode arrays (MEA) relatively high. Commercially available 64 channel MEAs are sold for more than $100 per chip. After long exposure times to electrolyte solution, the performance of the chip degrades due to electrode or passivation deterioration. According to our experience with MEAs, a typical chip cannot be reused more than approximately 5 times in long-term cell culture experiments of several weeks. For this reason, the use of low-cost disposable systems is desirable for high-throughput cell culture analysis. In this technical note, we present single-vesicle release recordings from a catecholamine-containing PC12 (rat pheochromocytoma) cell line cultured directly on a disposable screen-printed carbon paste microelectrode. The carbon paste microelectrode fabrication process is carried out in a standard chemical laboratory with no special clean-room equipment. Total material cost of a single device with all required components amounts to approximately 20 cents per chip. Additionally, the microelectrode fabrication process including first in vitro dopamine recordings from PC12 cells can be achieved in less than 6 h.

|Irelands child
I have found that this works very nicely to knock out any water in my knock together system. While I only have about 50 feet of copper tubing, by the time it gets to the end it's pretty cool. I've never had any moisture carry over since installing this system.
The clunker HF unit will kick out any big droplets and dirt and the Sharpe knocks out the rest. I originally tried to go cheap with the HF unit, but there was still some, though very minor carry over. I then added the Sharpe, voila!! no more water. The valve also needs to be opened occasionally as it was installed as a drip leg below the 90* turn to the filters - and it works nicely as well. I have since made some mods, taking out the 90* elbow between the filters and added a fairly good wall regulator.

These are pictures of my air system. The first picture is the last drop and I will use it for dry air and painting.
Here is another view of the same drop.
The next two views are of the same outlet and is in the back of my garage. I have a T on the setup. One outlet is for my blaster and the other has an oiler on it for air tools.
This outlet is for a shop that is built on the side of my garage and holds my compressor.
I haven't ran my compressor hard since I got all of this hooked up but it seems like most if not all of the moisture is caught at my first drop. I got all of my ideas from the knowledgeable people at Hotrodders. Thanks to all.
|Rob, as I said before after about 50' or so the black iron will have so much surface area to radiate the heat that it will about over take the Copper's advantage so with as much pipe as you are using the Copper would probably make little or no difference in how well the system would cool the air prior to the separator. If I understand correctly you have nearly 300' total? With that much line the black iron would be quite a bit cheaper than Copper even though the price difference between Copper and black iron is not as great as it was a couple of years ago. About the only real argument here in favor of the Copper over iron would be the rusting problem of the iron which IMO is overblown and not really much of a problem anyway. If you have 160' of 3/4" iron pipe between the compressor and separator (a Sharpe no less ) I just can not imagine having a moisture problem as long as it is plumbed properly which it sounds like it is.
|Danny G.
Here's my 3/4" copper setup. Its been working so well in the last few years, with tons of abuse having only a 15 amp single stage.
Many folks here, Oldred especially has been a great factor in me deciding whats best. I could not have asked for more from these guys. Makes me feel lucky to have found this place. These pics are from a few years back, I have a nice tool chest now with more quality tools too
First drop after 25 ft. I used 1/2" pipe on this on. No filter, just reg, mainly for tools used in short periods like my impacts and blow gun.
My prep drop 40 ft away with a 40 micron HF filter. And my paint drop, 65 ft away with a 5 micron Sharpe F88. Both filters have been working great! Air hog tools I notice tend to keep the air quite cold even after hours of use with hardly but a few drops in the water traps.
|robs ss
|I've been using 3/4" copper for years with no problems. Works perfectly and is reliable.
|robs ss
Anyway I gave it to somebody, but its been so long I can't remember who.
Back when I did it I read someplace that black pipe was cheaper and better, and that started the whole process.
Then I got another sandblaster and the water started showing up in the black pipe, it went downhill from there.
Then more reading and more changes and more pipe, now I have a good system. A case of trial and error, but my runs of copper looked like a two year old put them in, and that was bothering me.
The other thing with the copper, I didn't realize you could buy it in straight lengths like pipe, I had visions of uncoiling 3/4'' and trying to make it look good, yeah I know, I was born under a rock and never got out in the outside world.
Thats my story
So, maybe copper is better, I have been searching google to find out what I can, and I'm still not sure which one works the best as far as cooling that hot air out of the compressor.
I know I run through 1100 lbs of sand without having to back flush my sandblaster pot, but I probably have 160' of pipe run all over the garage.
Maybe a 120' to the sandblaster, and 150' to the bead blaster.
And this is with out dessicant or air dryers, just pipe and sharpe f88 filters.
I probably got lucky.
|My system is all 1" Copper but that is overkill, just pipe that was scrounged (free ) over the years. It also is covered by ceiling panels, most of it anyway, so a pic really would not show much. It is nothing exotic just a bit over 50' total sloped up from the compressor with two Sharpe regulators/water traps/hose reels and the heaviest demand it ever sees is occasional use of my small sandblaster. The only dryer I use, besides the Sharpe water separators, is an in-line desiccant snake when I spray paint. As I have said several times in the past I personally like black iron for air system piping I have seen it used a lot and the faults with it that sometimes are mentioned, such as internal rust fouling tools, just seems to not really be a fault at all. Although I prefer Copper I would not hesitate to use black iron if my only concern was rust and on systems over 50' or so even the cooling advantage of the Copper is lost in most cases, the advantage is not really a huge one anyway but on shorter systems it can help quite a bit. I like Copper for other reasons as well, I find it easier to install and easy to modify later if necessary. I can not think of an instance where the advantages Copper might offer would make it worth replacing an iron pipe system unless the system needed replacing for other reasons anyway and while I am sure your black iron system is a very good set-up, that is more than adequate and probably will last just about forever, I can't help but wonder why you would replace a Copper system with the iron since the Copper was already there?
|robs ss
Oldred, do you have a picture of your air line setup, and do you use any dessicant or air dryers. And do you use copper?
I used to have copper, and took it all out and went to black pipe.
|Kampr is right soldering is easy to do and very quickly makes for a solid and leak free joint. I have never used any kind of glue which I assume would need a set-up time before reaching workable strength and soldering is so quick and easy I never saw the need for anything else. Still with today's adhesives it may be worth checking out.
I put in galvanized because it was cheaper and I'm satisfied with it. If I had it to do all over again I would go with copper because of the ease of installation.
I don't know anything about the paste but why can't you solder with the pipe in place? You could just do one or two joints at a time to make sure everything is going to plan. Plumbers used to do it all the time before they started using plastic. I've done it several times. If you're worried about a fire hazard just keep somebody nearby with a fire extinguisher
|Rob some of the views in that link on using Copper simply border on being just plain stupid! One says Copper is bad because the pipe gets hot so the air will not cool? Where the dickens does he think that heat comes from? One guy even says you don't want the pipe to radiate heat! A couple of those guys have it right but unfortunately that's the way the conversation goes all too often when you get a bunch together discussing the best way to plumb a compressor. Based on doing this professionally for well over thirty years and having seen air plumbed in just about every configuration one might imagine I can confidently state that Copper is THE best choice for clean dry air. Now having said that I do not mean that black iron or galvanized is bad and using either may save some money if it is done properly and of sufficient length to cool the air enough to do the job. As for the rust problem of using black iron or the galvanized flaking there may be some instance where that has happened but I have not seen it to be a problem of any consequence in either case. I have seen some minor flaking of material on newly installed galvanized systems but there will likely be junk in most any system the first couple of hours it is used. I have also seen rust in black iron (as well as some rust in galvanized pipe) but this has been minor and no problem at all, just some rust showing up in old piping and some trapped by the filter. In either case a filter will eliminate the problem, if a problem it is, and if someone is trying to operate a system without a filter they will have more problems than just rust or small flakes in the air! Copper is not cheap but it will eliminate rust or flaking if someone is concerned about that and it is THE best for cooling the air for moisture removal-period!

Posted by Derek Miers on February 7, 2011
Over the last few weeks, I have had a variety of conversations with clients that have centered around the scope for the term BPM. I think we all agree that BPM is not purely a technology – but how far does it go.
Forrester sees BPM as a broad framework of methods, approaches, techniques and technologies that support organizational change, value optimization and ongoing performance improvement. While some see BPM as a narrow technical approach, Forrester regards BPM as including a wide range of improvement methods such as Lean and Six Sigma, along with customer-centric (outside-in) engagement approaches and organizational change management – each one of these levers ties back to a flexible and adaptable enterprise architecture that implements an evolving business strategy. Such an all-encompassing approach can help focus on strategic priorities, as well as opportunities to both differentiate the value proposition, and sharpen the competitive edge.
While some would argue that Lean and Six Sigma are separate – that they are "in the business" – our research data suggests that the most successful BPM initiatives are run by the business, for the business and are of the business (to paraphrase Lincoln). Something like just 20% of BPM process improvement initiatives are run out of IT. Indeed, I would go a little further than that – BPM initiatives run out of IT are just not sustainable in the long term. If you are charged with maintaining a BPM program from within IT (perhaps running a BPM CoE), then one of your primary tasks is to a) identify and b) work with any Lean/Six Sigma programs that are out there.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 reviewBy Ben Boswell - Thursday February 14 2013 Sensor Review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC GH3 is a very good camera, among the best tested by DxO Mark in this format. It is small and light and will make an excellent camera to travel with and fulfils all of the requirements that a serious enthusiast is likely to have. However, it is pricey for a hybrid and it has competition from several directions. The Olympus is even smaller and lighter and scores slightly higher but it does lack a viewfinder. For a similar price you could be buying either the Pentax K 01 or the K-5 IIs, both of which have scores consistently higher than the Lumix but obviously with the overhead of a bulkier and heavier piece of equipment to carry. You could also be looking at the Sony NEX-6 which is the closest technically, scores better and is cheaper. There is no escaping from the conclusion that the Panasonic Lumix DCM GH3 is going to be the ideal camera for some people, but for others the better choice would be some more detailed research.

1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder
Thanks for the great review. You mentioned that the GH3 had a 1.4 Mpix viewfinder (same as the Olympus EM-5 and other previous Lumix cameras) but it in fact has a 1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder. It must be the OLED because there is no comparison between this excellent viewfinder and the others. It is so good in fact, that I far prefer this WYSIWYG viewfinder to our Nikon 5100 optical viewfinder. Along with its smaller silent focus lenses and great video, it is truly the "Goldilocks" camera for serious photographers and videographers. There is no other camera like it!

Same sensor
"Color depth at 22.7 is excellent, Dynamic Range at 12.4 EV it best in class and ISO at 812 is only just behind the two Olympus cameras."
Actually, all of them are within a margin of error of your tests, so it is 99.9% the same sensor as the 3 2012 Olympuses (E-M5, E-PM2, E-PL5).
DR of 12.4 EV is curios as the cameras have 12 bit RAW format. :)

Mistake in the review of GH3.
There is a mistake here: "The video capture is full HD: 1080i". The video is actually 1080p, and 60p if needed.

Thanks for letting us know. We are going to correct it as soon as possible, but video is not what we test as we focus on RAW. :)
Added by RickPick | February 14 , 2013
Test should mention (at least) the video features
When comparing the GH3 with other mirrorless hybrid cameras (price/performance) the video features of the GH3 should also be included in the comparison. The video specs are far better than any other hybrid or DSLR camera except at a much higher price.

Also, I have about 800 rounds thru my P-11 without but a few malfunctions with FTF. The PF9 I had was really picky with ammo. It might have just been that particular PF9, but I'll stick with my P-11.

Quote from: G3farms on August 01, 2010, 06:46:01 PMThe $30 gets them not only a package of bees but the whole hive also. :? :? $30 is this a hive of bees or is this a share of a hive :? :? BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
The $30 gets them not only a package of bees but the whole hive also.
charity navigator says 67% of funds go tot he programs and 33% for administration/fundraising. that's close enough to united way that i will stay far far away.
Those folks are the ones who won't give the time of day to a plain brown wrapper because it's not exciting enough or not entertaining enough or whatever they expect.Trying to get a variety of people's attention and interest in the non-profit arena is a tough market because you know you can't please everyone, yet that's exactly what they want you to do.
My final comment, I just hate to see people pass judgement so quickly on such a fine charity. Donate to Heifer or donate elsewhere - it's really none of my business - but I can assure you they are fine people doing good work in the world. I suspect their administrative costs are high in part because of the working farms they run. Yes, visitors to the farm have the opportunity to make a donation, but nobody pesters you about it, and most people I see leave without donating, so I suspect the farms are run at a loss. At the same time, those visitors leave having learned something about the plight of 3rd world nations, famine, political instability, and self-sustaining agriculture. They also learn about sustainable food production here at home too. Once we were there when a bus full of young kids from an inner city (I think it was Boston - could have been Providence, don't remember exactly) showed up. You could see by the expressions of wonder on their faces that this was the first experience many of them had on a farm, and that they were learning a lot about where food really comes from.
i wonder if I could donate a hive of bees to my neighbor, ummmm yeah ,my neighbor

Thanks for the feedback. Had this idea in my head that hens layed more years than what I'm hearing. So I guess I'll need to find a good supplier to replenish my stock after two-three years.Just really looking for a few though right now as I'm keeping them in the city. Guess I need to be prepared for that same code guy that gave me a hassle about bees to be snooping around on the chickens. We will see. Killer chickens?...JP
Ah, Brian, as is usual, some very great words of wisdom. I am in love with the looks and attitude of my Silver and Gold Laced Wyandottes, they are indeed a sight for the eyes, and lay a very nicely sized egg. I am patiently awaiting my incubator hatched GLW to begin to lay, they are 22 weeks now, and hopefully in the next few weeks. Got kick the butt of that cockeral of that breed though, man is he slow to mature, but when he does, watch out!!!JP doesn't know what he is in for. He thinks he's addicted to beekeeping, well, he ain't seen nuthin' yet, that chicken world is even more interesting than the bee world, he's gonna get stuck there. Have a great, most wonderful day, with that health. Cindi
