Wondered if anyone had suggestions for making it less aggravating to them.
thought the entire reason for sugar powdering when doing mite control is to thoroughly cover is MM of the bees body so the mites cannot maintain their grip on the bee thus ridding the bees of the mites?
Try placing a piece of window screen on top of your hive. For every two deeps dump 2 cups of powdered sugar onto the screen and brush it it back and forth over the combs.
Did my first PS dusting on Sunday. I used the Window screen idea and it worked great.I noticed that immediately after the Bees seemed to be gathering huge amounts of water. They were all over the birdbath and Pool and their water trough. I guess they were involved in a major cleanup effort.

If only...
Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter. 10 men all Democrats, Senator BARACK OBAMA , Senator Biden, Harry Reed, Senator Edwards, Senator Kennedy, Senator Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Murtha and Michael Moore and 1 woman, Sarah Palin.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman, Sarah, gave a
very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to
giving up everything for her husband and kids or for the community in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping........
damn if only that would really happen
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
Jolly good.

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger has hailed Robin van Persie's "exceptional achievement" in winning the PFA Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards.
The Dutchman has claimed both prizes over the past week after enjoying a remarkable campaign that has seen him score 34 times in all competitions.
And Wenger believes his captain fully deserves all the recognition that has come his way this year.
"It is down to his exceptional talent and to the fact he has had a really consistent presence in the team, which was not the case in the years before," he told Arsenal Player.
"Also the team is organised to provide chances for Robin, and his exceptional movement and intelligence allows him to get on the end of what we create.
"He has had a special season and I think there is more to come from him. He deserves what he got and congratulations to him because it is remarkable what he has achieved when you look at the quality of players we have in England.
"He has been voted by the players, the managers and the writers as the best player in the country. It is an exceptional achievement."
Van Persie has also provided 10 assists for team-mates in the Premier League, and Wenger was quick to salute this aspect of his game.
"That is what we like here, we never play just goalscorers," he said. "We want to develop team play, so we like players who can contribute as well. That is why I think he has had a remarkable season."
Watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina senior midfielder Amber Brooks has been named TopDrawerSoccer.com's Player of the Year for the 2012 as announced Wednesday by the website's editors. She is the third Tar Heel in history to have earned the honor, joining Yael Averbuch (2006) and Casey Nogueira (2008) in being honored by one of college soccer's premier websites.
Altogether, five Tar Heels were honored by Top Drawer Soccer on Wednesday. Brooks, a senior midfielder from New Hope, Pa., was joined on TDS's first-team All-America squad by junior forward/midfielder Crystal Dunn (Rockville Centre, N.Y.). The 11-player first team includes seven individuals who will play in this weekend's NCAA College Cup in San Diego, Calif. - two each from Stanford, UNC and Penn State and one from Florida State.
Top Drawer Soccer's third-team All-America squad features UNC junior forward Kealia Ohai (Draper, Utah). Also on Wednesday both Dunn and Ohai were named as semifinalists for the 2012 Hermann Trophy presented by the Missouri Athletic Club.
TopDrawerSoccer.com also names separate All-America Teams for freshmen and two Tar Heels were honored on those squads. Freshman forward Summer Green (Milford, Mich.) was named to the first team while freshman defender Hanna Gardner (Chapel Hill, N.C.) was chosen for the second-team Freshman All-America squad.
In winning player of the year honors, Brooks has started all 21 Tar Heel games this season and is Carolina's second-leading scorer with seven goals and six assists. Her 20 points in a season are a career high for the playmaking center midfielder, topping the 16 points she had as a sophomore in 2010. Brooks leads UNC in game-winning goals with three. She was named first-team All-ACC for the second year in a row earlier this year after making the second-team as a freshman.

This evening's Highbury Memory comes from Mr Jackson from Henfield.
At the beginning of the 1947/48 season, I was 17 years-old, and that was when I became a regular supporter of the Arsenal, a passion that has now lasted for some 58 years.
As the seasons have rolled by, I have seen the Highbury stadium change in structure. Standing behind the goal in the North Bank on a Saturday afternoon became a priority over all things, and in due course, I was joined by my wife and later by my daughters.
Star players of opposing teams were recognised for their ability; looking back, Matthews, Finney, Shackleton, Charles, Charlton and Law have all been names to grace the Highbury grass. We always hoped that the Gunners would be as great one day. I remember Don Roper as an example, signed as a left-winger. He was moved to full-back to face Stanley Matthews. I'm sure the maestro never had a good day at Highbury!
What of Arsenal players that I have admired over the years? Jack Kelsey, Pat Jennings, Walley Barnes, Alex Forbes, Frank McLintock, Peter Simpson, Cliff Holton, Doug Lishman, Liam Brady, George Armstrong, and now Thierry Henry. The list could go on! In the time I have had the pleasure to watch Arsenal four players have had the most influence at the Club. Firstly, Joe Mercer, he was such a fine wing-half and a great captain. Secondly, George Eastham, an inside-forward who shone on umpteen occasions. Thirdly, Dennis Bergkamp, of whom very often, I have turned to my grandson, after another Bergkamp goal, and said, 'That was another Dennis master class'. And lastly, Mr Arsenal, Tony Adams. Captain Supreme, an excellent defender with an ability to control the game like nothing before. Remember Everton? Magic!
I know Arsenal must move on to Emirates and if we can't move brick and mortar, then we must take the passion and the spirit of the old stadium. As supporters of Arsenal, I am sure we all feel pride in being a part of a great Highbury tradition. We will look to Arsène Wenger and his assistants to continue to produce teams who play exciting football and build on the progress and achievements we have seen today.
Would you like your 'Highbury Memories' recorded in the programme this historic season? We'd love to hear of your experiences at Highbury, no matter how long you've supported the team. If you have a story you think is worth telling then write into the Club, keeping your accounts to less than 600 words, at the usual address. You can also e-mail your correspondence to email@example.com. Please mark your letters 'Highbury Memories'. All those who have letters printed will receive an exclusive A4 Highbury print.

Have your bees be exposed to a large dose of gamma radiation lately?
i put antifreeze in my car the other day and accidentally spilled a bit on the driveway i notice a couple of my honeybees lapping it up. i promptly stepped on them and took the water hose and washed it away. has anyone ever seen honeybees go after antifreeze??? i'm sure if they took it back to the hive it would contaminate the harvest. just thought i would post this to see your thoughts about. http://www.beesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194230
I heard 2 sources of green honeymentioned tonight by a commercial. One was a spinosa and the other was messmate. Apparently the later can appear green in the comb.
Was that at the beeclub meeting?

The mechanical watch is a mature technology.The spiral mainspring that powers the watch is inside a cylindrical barrel, with the outer end of the mainspring attached to the barrel. The barrel has gear teeth around the outside that turn the center wheel once per hour — this wheel has a shaft that goes through the dial. On the dial side the cannon pinion is attached with a friction fit (allowing it to slide when setting the hands) and the minute hand is attached to the cannon pinion. The cannon pinion drives a small 12-to-1 reduction gearing called the motion work that turns the hour wheel and hand once for every 12 revolutions of the minute hand.

In a previous life, I talked my boss into buying one copy of Rational Rose, the premier UML modeling tool of the day. It was I believe version two and it was on some UNIX platform. For those that remember these days, Rose on UNIX didn't work very well (lots of crashes). I then went on to join Rational software and I believe I got the job partly because I had Rose on my resume. My first two years with Rational were all about promoting and selling Object-oriented Analysis & Design classes and Rational Rose. And we sold a lot of them. Most enterprises those days had a few leaders that kept abreast of the trends and OO was a hot topic. And Rose was considered a necessary part of the solution. You needed a tool that could capture the UML diagrams that were going to revolutionize the software architecture profession.
Well, it didn't quite work out that way. I am still today a strong proponent of modeling and believe that any good architect needs to have strong modeling skills to be able to communicate their architectural ideas. I am sorry but Powerpoint and/or Visio just don't cut it. That being said, it is apparent to me that in general, software IT shops do not consider models to be a key and strategic piece of their software development lifecycle!!! I have to wonder why.
One place to look is the actual perception of UML. No doubt that UML has traveled a rocky road. It started out with such high expectations and maybe that is where the problems began. I think there was a a "silver bullet" feeling that it never was intended to live up to. Various revisions seemed to complicate things instead of clarify them. As MDD/MDA/PBE took off and began to show promise, UML was again criticized for not being "right" as the specification for driving out detailed abstractions. I think Bertrand Meyer captured an early feeling about UML in his 1997 satirical article. To some UML had completely missed its mark.
Another perspective is that UML is not understood by or even relevant to others in the software development lifecycle. OK, use cases should be understood by your requirements people, but you hardly need to know UML to understand a stick figure and oval use case diagram. So much of how a developer creates code these days is about following standard patterns which don't have to be specified by an architect. Testers for the most part aren't helped that much by a model. And UML has probably failed the operations people the most with its almost laughable deployment modeling capabilities (see Rational Software Architect's robust topology modeling capabilities to see what it takes).
This doesn't however alter my belief that modeling needs to be a key component in software architecture, for maybe nothing more than drawing pictures (I know it sounds like Visio). However, the underlying model behind the picture still provides value, particularly if you are in an industry with strong industry model influences ( i.e. CIM for the E&U industry, TMForum models for Telecommunications). It is important that architectural constructs are based on what the industry says is important.
So I continue to preach modeling and I use Rational Software Architect almost every day. I know there are those architects out there that rely on a UML modeling tool to communicate their architectural know how. It's too bad there aren't more of us out there.

Discussion in 'February 2009' started by Dlev59, Feb 9, 2009.
Chat is open!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
24 was great last night and Jack Bauer only said "copy that" 4 times. Since it is only an hour, are you sure you are not sneaking off to see American Idol instead?? Come on, if the Pistons are winning come into chat and provide some HQisms
I hope we don't get burned in the 1st and 3rd quarters now with the slow footed Dyess out there starting. He's a rebound machine, but him and Sheed are both to old and slow to start together. Who is going to provide help D? According to Curry.. Dyess will make them better defensively...can't wait to see this.
LMAO.... you just knew that shot fake was coming from Prince!
Does Rodney Stuckey even play for the Pistons anymore?
Another L vs Milwaukee, and more to come. DOUBLE DIGIT LOSING STREAK IS COMING GUYS
Stuckey has had ONE assist in 3 out of the last 5 games. It's time to start rethinking this point guard experiment.
I think stuckey needs to cut back on the fruit. More sausages will do a body & mind good. Poor AI - wherever the man goes, the team he is on always sucks it up.
A game that they trailed from the early in the first and came with 1 point a couple of times in the 4th but could get over the hump... A great game by Dyess offset by a bad one by Stuckey....he probably should have worn his orange alstar head band. Although Stuckey was in there during the big run, he had nothing to do with it, and I am wondering if Curry should have brought in Tay with about 3 mins left for the xtra d and possible scoring...but nope, he went with the three guards and Dice and Sheed in the end.
Sucks we lost to the Bucks. On a positive note, how about that Antonio McDyess?
Stuckey reminds me of Billups he first couple of years. Stuckey needs better coaching especially defensively. He is always out of position. Side note: Knicks/Spurs is one whale of a game. Hope they tire out Duncan and CO.
I seriously hope that this team did not tire out ( especially Dice!) with 4th Q effort. /turn your sarcasm-o-meters on/
Glad the players are playing for a coach they can respect, not Flip. Dice is the only one who actually gives a crap. This team has gone through 4 frickin coaches in a short time i.e. RC, LB, Flip and soon to be MC. The roster has to be revamped w/ a fresh new attitude. It's the players as much as the coaches. I don't know who the ring leader of the respect gang is, maybe Sheed??. But this thing has got to be stopped, or Joe better start holding a clip board. Quickly headed to a lottery pick.
Replacing RC and LB had nothing to do with the players. Flip had three years with a championship caliber team and did not get it done. MC is a first year coach and it shows. They could have pulled this game out with a break here or there. Players have to believe in the message of a coach period. Maybe Curry's message is bullcrap. Do you think Curry deserves respect and confidence of his team?
Spurs may have been looking ahead to the Pistons game... Knicks/Spurs went into OT, with the Knicks winning by 5 behind Krypton Nate's 32 points. If only Bynum was half the player of Nate...if only Stuckey was half....
Man that was bad. We started out the game horrible on both offense and defensive and basically never recovered. We came close in the end, but we had no business winning this one. The players all look lifeless out there. It just looks like they're going through the motions. Who could blame them after a ridiculous amount of lineup changes? All the players know the staff doesn't know what they're doing. Absolutely clueless. What a difference a good coach can make. Look at the Bucks, their team is horrible and they have 3 key players injured (Bogut, Redd, Ridnour) yet they played with intensity and heart and clearly outplayed the Pistons.
Stuckey stinks although he denies it, AI tries but can't play D, Sheed's theme is mostly "why I have to do this or that???" at the same time grudingly agreeing that he has no post up game anymore. Only trustworthy players are Dice with rebounding and Rip with scoring. Not easy bunch of players for any coach.
With RC there was other talk besides Joe wanting to upgrade i.e. players complaining about his lack of flexibility, not a good communicator etc. They had tuned him out and LB was available. LB was wearing his welcome thin w/ his bladder and other media distractions. The team did not get it done in 3 years w/ Flip, what about self accountability? The players asked for MC as a guy they can respect. I can dig out the articles if you want a reminder. He was going to coach them up. Bottom line is a person w/ a good work ethic usually stays that way even under trying circumstances. Sick of the excuses for underachieving and playing stupid ball. Defense and rebounding are about effort and positioning. Does MC need to coach effort and heart too? Do the players need lessons on not jacking up low % shots?
Most teams looking forward to playing Pistons at the Palace this year.
Yep Pistons now 14-14 at the palace this season...and it will probably get worst...

Hi there
Can anyone help with this query?
I've been offered a contract with a training company teaching English on a civil service project in Saudi. However the contract states that all annual leave, including public holidays, is paid at less than half the monthly salary that one would receive if on duty. The salary is 12,000SAR but during leave periods the employee receives only 5000SAR.
Is this standard practice in teaching contracts in Saudi?

Laura Nyro [Music Monday]
Laura Nyro – introduced to me by my boyfriend – is an excellent and often-overlooked folk-soul artist from the 1970s.
Nyro is jazzy and weird and awesome. She rejected fame rather than chasing it, hitting it relatively big early (her songs were covered by Three Dog Night and Peter Paul and Mary; she played at the Monterey Pop Festival and the (horribly cissexist) Michigan Womyn's Festival) and quitting the business at 24.
A Wikipedia-sourced quote from Nyro, who reportedly identified as bisexual: "I was always interested in the social consciousness of certain songs. My mother and grandfather were progressive thinkers, so I felt at home in the peace movement and the women's movement, and that has influenced my music". Feminist or no, this is an ableist title of an great song:
A few admin-type notes:
This is the return of Music Monday, in which music that I like by marginalized folks is posted. If you have a suggestion or your own music that you would like to see featured here, please email me.
Apologies on the belatedness of part two of my posts on the intersection between birth control and disabilities. It should be up late today!

It's great to see Laura Nyro getting attention. I grew up hearing her records a lot, partially because my sister went to high school with her, but mostly because she liked her music.ReplyDelete
I don't make a practice of asking people who blog on privilege to educate me, honest, but I thought the best way to get my question answered is just to ask: am I missing something obvious? I don't see where the ablism is in the title "Eli's Comin'."
Whoops! Meant to post Sweet Blindness - ableist because it's appropriating blindness. Eli's Coming is definitely not ableist. Thanks for the heads up!ReplyDelete
Hello RMJ:ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you're back. You've made my day/week/month.
Laura Nyro has long been among my favorites. I love the way she could make a quirky rhyme work and not be merely a gimmick. Plus, she was possibly the only singer who could echo old blues songs, Broadway showtunes and a bit of Debussy in the same song (as she did in several songs on New York Tendaberry, including the eponymous tune) and actually make it work.
Suzanne Vega has said that Laura was one of her main influences.

Yum: Finally Moving In The Right Direction, China October Same Store Sales Beat
Finally, Yum! Brands (YUM) seems to be moving towards the right direction. China October same store sales fell 5%, above the consensus expectation of 5.8% and representing a large improvement from the last four months' 10-13% decline range.
Yum! has two major operations in China: the larger KFC franchise that has been on the decline and the rising star Pizza Hut. The improvement from KFC came largely from a promotional sale, but strong growth in Pizza Hut seemed organic. Morgan Stanley analysts John Glass and Jake Bartlett broke down the numbers for us:
China comps for Oct were (5%), including a 7% decline at KFC and a 10% gain at Pizza Hut Dine In. Sales PH did not appear overly promotion driven and KFC's sales were helped by a ½ price chicken bucket which ran for the last few days of the month (ended on Nov 10).
But the analysts warn that KFC still lags behind:
The improved sales are encouraging, but still show challenges at KFC, which not only sharply trailed PH [Pizza Hut], but also MCD [McDonald's] which had negative October SSS but positive on an adj. 2yr basis (vs. at least –HSD at KFC). Visibility remains low and it's unclear that the current "I commit" brand image building campaign will drive traffic, but the SSS trajectory appears headed positive by December, as expected.
Shares in Yum! have recovered from the disastrous September China numbers. But year-to-date, Yum! only returned 10% versus S&P 500's 26.2%, uncharacteristic for this name. In the last five years, Yum! returned 25% per year, outperforming S&P's 16.7%.

Premiers with 1st audition show tonight. Can't wait!
I have to make sure I am taping. I like to FF through the bad auditions.
I was pleasantly surprised last year. They showed very few, and in a condensed block. Easy to skip!
I have to work!! BOOOOO!!!
wow, really? I had no idea it was already time - or really even if it was coming back this year
here's hoping this will be a good season
Very entertaining start.
So happy to see Cat again on my TV.
Androgynous guy was intriguing.
at softball girl and her injury.
I wish they hadn't added the sound effect.
Very few bad auditions!
That was a good show!
nice to have all decent auditions, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson is always a hoot.
Really enjoyed the first dancer, Fik Shun and his dubstep piece. It seemed about twice as long as the usual solo, but it was engaging - and we got the actually see the whole thing, no cutting back to the judges or completely useless reaction shots of other dancers watching (that happened a LOT during Armenian winner Paul's piece ).
Second chick was just typical contemporary, nothing special. Except for her name, which is MALICE pronounced muh-LEEESE That's up there with the urban legend of a baby girl named "feh-MAH-lay" aka Female
I did like Armenian Paul but I'm surprised he's allowed to compete in SYTYCD since he's already won one. Does this mean E-Man could come down and try out too? (yes, I know he didn't win.....)
Elijah with the tutu necklace was mesmerizing. Loved him.
Softball princess has only been dancing for a few months? Not bad, but damn, that knee
I wish Morris the B-Boy had gotten through - he was flying!!
Armin the Russian Hip Hop singer seems like an arrogant prick but he was very good.
nice highlight on the B-Boy trio...to be honest I don't see why they weren't sent through to choreography. They were certainly good enough to give it a try, even if they were unlikely to move forward.
Daniel Baker from last season tweeted that this is probably the last season of SYTYCD. Has anyone heard anything from other sources?
Fox is very closed mouthed about its plans. I follow Lythgoe on Twitter and he hasn't said anything (yet)
So did anyone from this board go to an audition show, or know anyone who went to an audition show?
How do they get the numbers down to who actually gets in front of the judges? On AI they show thousands upon thousands in ballparks waiting to audition (and I've read a few blogs about how that works), but on SYTYCD it seems to always be a manageable amount of people showing up at the theater. How many auditions do those kids go thru to actually get before the judges? Or is this show so focused on dancing that sucky people just don't show up (like they do for AI)?
its the exact same format as AI: thousands show up, they first audition for producers, who select a very small percentage of people who go in front of the real judges. Any time you see someone truly awful in front of the panel, they were selected by someone else to move on, purely for the entertainment/schadenfreude factor. I think that the auditions in front of the judges might happen on an entirely different day, but I'm not sure.
Even though we've seen plenty of awful or just plain deluded people in the SYTYCD auditions over the years, no doubt fewer people audition for this rather than AI, because there's a lot higher level of stardom to be had from singing than dancing.
The first guy tonight was just Timing, control, musicality - loved him!
I loved him, too.
It was nice seeing Twitch.
Yes, one of my good friends auditioned and she was also told that this would be the final season. She didn't make it to Vegas, but since she was in LA for multiple days, I wonder if she auditioned in front of the judges or not. She's a dead ringer for Arielle Coker, so if she appears sometime during any wide shots from LA auditions, I'd be happy.
There were several very good auditions last night.
I particularly liked the first dancer shown and the tapper.
as much as I love getting to see dance on tv, I'm fine with this being the final season. Nigel is a prat, and the show has fallen into the same formulaic pitfalls as AI. I barely even remember last season.
let's hope this is a good one!
I like seeing the dancers get opportunities, but ITA, last season, the routines were not memorable.
who won? I have no idea!
That I remember - Eliana and Chehon. The 2 ballet dancers.
From last season's finale:
Chehon and Eliana Ballet "The Nutcracker Suite - Pas De Deux"
oh yes! I actually really loved them both! I probably blocked it due to the stupid "best girl/best guy" format
I used to watch the entire season, but I cant seem to make it through anymore. Is it just me or are most of the dances contemporary? Mayben I'm misremembering, but I thought there was more variety in the first few seasons.
shan - there have always been a boatload of contemporary.
Well quite frankly most of the time there is a boatload of contemporary because they are almost always the best well-rounded dancers who do the best over all at all the styles.
Missed last night and : at it being the last season! Not only because I love watching it but because it has really inspired the kids in my dance classes. I teach at high school and a good portion of the students don't dance elsewhere and are not exposed to the dance world too much. This show has really helped them see more dance in an accessible format and I have seen a great increase in their willingness to take risks in expressing themselves.
Sorry-I just don't agree. I find MOST contemporary dancers who are on this show to be incredibly bland and mediocre at everything. Yes-there have been exceptions-I agree wholeheartedly, but the majority of kids who audition with contemporary-especially the girls, are just a huge snooze for me. They seem to have a very limited vocabulary of movement and if they don't stop rolling all over the floor in angst....I might die of laughter. Now really good contemporary dancers-Ailey, Lines, etc. are sensational, but that's on a professional level, and yes, those types of company dancers can do anything, but it's a whole different ballgame from what I see on this show. Just my opinion!!
My AD calls it "coupe, jete, kick yourself in the back of the head" dance.
I loved tutu boy and the two sexy ballroom dancers. I actually thought the contemporary girl whose father danced onstage was pretty good. I'd like to see her do some choreography that had more interest. I liked her body and commitment.
I'm just being witchy tonight, but I really believe the mediocrity of most contemporary/competition dance is killing this show.
I loved both shows of the opening week.. I really find this reality show holds my attention far more than the voice or even Idol.. I not only watched it but taped it.. I really hope its not the final season as this dance starved fan loves it

Civil war has raged in Colombia nor nearly half of the twentieth century and there is currently scant hope for any quick resolution of fighting. Well over a million Colombians clad in white and cheering, 'No More Kidnapping" marked their independence day on Sunday with marches and concerts demanding freedom for hostages still held by leftist rebels.In some 40 cities across the land, people shouted "freedom" as they marched and sang in hope for an end to bloodshed. In Paris, newly freed hostage Ingrid Betancourt addressed rebel leader Alfonso Base with a plea: "Understand that it's now time to stop spilling blood, that the time has come to exchange those rifles for roses."
The people of Colombia are tired of drug lords and so-called "leftists" whose only apparent concern for the masses is how much money its leaders can amass for themselves. Perhaps, it is also time to re-evaluate the criminalization of drugs and seek new ways to end drug lords by the simple act of ceasing to make trafficking in drugs a criminal offense.

Chastised: Portsmouth paper gets called out
On Dec. 21, the Portsmouth Herald published an editorial on the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. The paper called for more gun control, in particular for the reinstatement of the 1994 assault weapons ban. It was hardly a display of originality or nuanced thinking. The editorial might have received little attention but for this sentence criticizing Ayotte for not letting her emotions overwhelm her judgment in the immediate aftermath of a national tragedy: "By being silent, Ayotte is failing to show she cares more about preventing 6-year-olds from being shot in the face than she does about being a rising star in the Republican Party."
And there is the left's dictatorial impulse we all know and love so much. Who needs argument and persuasion when bullying and character assassination work so well?
After a flood of letters from angry readers, many from noted Republicans in the area, the Herald surprised everyone by doing what the letter writers demanded. It apologized.
"We apologize both to our readers and Ayotte for our unfair characterization of her views," the Herald wrote. "We'd like to see Ayotte join the rest of the Maine and New Hampshire congressional delegation and reconsider her position on assault rifles and other gun-control measures, but our arguments need to be calm, rational and fact-based. We fell short of that standard Dec. 21."
Calm, rational and fact-based? If gun-control proponents stick to those standards, they will have to abandon many of their own policies. But maybe if more folks do as the Herald's readers did and call the anti-gun zealots on their nonsense, the more reflective ones will actually stop to think about what they are saying.

I am.
An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher. Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics.
We are the Dallas Chapter of the national organization of Living Liberally.org.
Bars are democratic spaces - you talk to strangers, you share booths, you feel the bond of common ground. Bring democratic discourse to your local democratic space - build democracy one drink at a time.
While drinking liberally, always remember to drink responsibly, and makel liberal use of designated drivers. Drinking and driving is reckless and irresponsible, like a neocon war or corporatist tax cut. Liberals, don't do it.
Drinking Liberally does not endorse candidates or parties, as per our national guidelines, but we do invite candidates and others to visit our on an informal basis with the full knowledge that we are a liberal group. This, presumably, weeds out those who are not comfortable with that designation or viewpoint. We also post notices of our meetings on public calendars with the understanding that anyone can show up to a public event in a public place. During an election year, it is particularly important get to know our elected officials and it is our desire to encourage that in an informal venue. We do not vouch for or vet everyone we invite, but we do encourage our members to make those decisions for themselves. We appreciate suggestions of others who might enjoy an invitation and look forward to continuing to create an atmosphere that supports progressive ideas

The morning after watching Forever Together win the $2 million Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) at Santa Anita, the crew at trainer Jonathan Sheppard's barn all wore big smiles on their faces. Forever Together spent nearly the entire month of October at Keeneland, where she won the First Lady (G1) on opening day of the fall meeting and worked twice over the Polytrack before leaving for Santa Anita on Wednesday.
"She just blossomed while she was here," said assistant Barry Wiseman about the four-year-old daughter of Belong to Me who races for George Strawbridge's Augustin Stable. "Training on the Polytrack really moved her up."
When she drove through the Keeneland barn area for the first time the other day, trainer Judi Hicklin said she was taken aback when she read the signs hanging over the reserved parking spaces near the barns and bearing the last names of trainers—many of whom are among the most successful in Thoroughbred racing.
"I saw the names of those famous people, and I thought, 'Oh my God. What am I doing here?' " said Hicklin with a laugh.
Today, Hicklin will saddle Grade 3 winner Wayzata Bay in the 50th running of the Fayette (G3), a 1 1/8-mile, $150,000 race for three-year-olds and older horses. Hicklin, who is from Des Moines, Iowa, has been training since 1990 and has a small stable that races in the Midwest in the summer and at Tampa Bay Downs in winter. She is making her Kentucky training debut in the Fayette.
Wayzata Bay is a six-year-old homebred son of Roar who races for Isaac "Gene" Phelps' World Thoroughbreds Racing Inc. Phelps named the horse after a noted scenic area west of Minneapolis-St. Paul where he has a home. In five campaigns, Wayzata Bay has won 12 of 44 races, including three consecutive runnings of the Prairie Meadows Handicap, and has earned $680,198 to rank as the leading earner among the Fayette's 11 starters. In June, Wayzata Bay became a graded stakes winner when he won the Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap (G3).
For trainer Paul McGee, Wayzata Bay had made two previous starts at Keeneland that include a ninth-place finish in the Fayette in 2006. Hicklin believes the horse has improved as he's gotten older, and today she expects him to perform better over the Polytrack. Wayzata Bay returns to the Fayette off a third-place finish behind Fairbanks and Magna Graduate in the 1 1/4-mile Hawthorne Gold Cup (G3) on September 27. The Keeneland race fit nicely into the horse's schedule, Hicklin said.
"We like to run him about every 30 days, and this worked out really good with the timing," said Hicklin, adding that Phelps owns a farm in nearby Midway, Kentucky, and wanted to race Wayzata Bay in Kentucky.
Israel Ocampo, who has ridden Wayzata Bay in his last five races, will again be aboard the horse in the Fayette. Wayzata Bay is the 6-1 third choice in the morning line.
"I don't see much speed in the race, so I think he'll be pretty close," Hicklin said. "We're hoping for big things."
Heading into the final day of Keeneland's fall meeting on Saturday, Mike Maker is the winningest trainer of the season with eight victories and will send out one more horse in his quest for his first leading trainer's title at the track. However, the race is still to be decided. Second with seven wins is Ken McPeek, who has four horses scheduled to run on Saturday.
Al Stall Jr. currently ranks third with six wins. Also tied at six is Bill Mott, who has two horses entered at Keeneland on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Robby Albarado seems to have locked up his third title as Keeneland's leading jockey. Albarado, who is riding in the two-day Breeders' Cup World Championships at Santa Anita, has 22 wins at Keeneland. Albarado also was Keeneland's leading jockey for the spring 2002 and spring 2003 meetings.
During the fall meeting, Albarado won three stakes: the Darley Alcibiades (G1) on Dream Empress, the Shadwell Turf Mile (G1) on Thorn Song and the Thoroughbred Club of America (G3) on Indyanne. Albarado's 41 career stakes wins at Keeneland rank him fourth among the track's all-time leading riders by stakes victories.
Second behind Albarado with 19 wins in Julien Leparoux, also riding in the Breeders' Cup.
Among owners, Ken and Sarah Ramsey are leading with seven victories. The Ramseys also were Keeneland's leading owners in the fall 2007(tie), spring 2006, spring 2004 (tie) and fall 2002 (tie).
The close of the live meet doesn't mean the end of racing action at Keeneland, which will offer a full schedule of simulcast racing beginning Sunday, October 26.
Keeneland will simulcast Wednesdays through Sundays, with the exception of Veteran's Day, Tuesday November 11, when a limited simulcast card will be offered.
Simulcast racing will be featured from Aqueduct, Tropical at Calder, Churchill Downs, Delaware, Fair Grounds, Golden Gate, Hawthorne, Hollywood, Hoosier Park, Laurel, Oak Tree at Santa Anita, Philadelphia Park, Suffolk and Woodbine.
Keeneland's popular Turf and Tackle Pick 4 contest begins Sunday, October 26 and runs each Sunday through December 14. Race fans compete for $400 in prize money by selecting the winners of two NFL football games and two stakes races (or other designated races).

A Stafford Loan is the most popular federal student loan. According to the College Board, for the 2010/2011 school year (the latest year for which statistics are available), more than $85 billion in Stafford Loans was handed out to students. Here are the highlights of this popular student loan.
Subsidized vs. unsubsidized
There are two types of Stafford Loans--subsidized and unsubsidized. What's the difference? With a subsidized loan, the government pays the interest that accrues on the loan while the student is in school, during any deferment periods, and for six months after graduation. With an unsubsidized loan, the student is responsible for paying the interest that accrues during these periods.
Subsidized Stafford Loans are available only to undergraduate students with financial need. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to both undergraduates and graduate students, and aren't based on financial need. Subsidized Stafford Loans are the more popular type.
Interest rates
The interest rate a student will pay depends on whether the loan is subsidized or unsubsidized. For unsubsidized Stafford Loans, the interest rate on new loans is fixed at 6.8%. For subsidized Stafford Loans, the interest rate is fixed as follows:
- 3.4% for loans issued 7/1/11 through 6/30/13
- 4.5% for loans issued 7/1/10 through 6/30/11
- 5.6% for loans issued 7/1/09 through 6/30/10
- 6.0% for loans issued 7/1/08 through 6/30/09
- 6.8% for loans issued 7/1/06 through 6/30/08
Note: The 3.4% rate on subsidized Stafford Loans currently in effect is scheduled to increase to 6.8% on July 1, 2013.
For borrowers who have an older Stafford Loan--subsidized or unsubsidized--that was issued July 1, 1988, through June 30, 2006, the interest rate is variable. It is automatically adjusted each July (along with your monthly payment), and can't exceed 8.25%.
In addition to interest charges, there is a 1% loan fee on all new subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans.
Borrowing limits
Stafford Loans have annual borrowing limits. Surprisingly, despite the steady increase in college costs, these limits have changed very little over the past decade. Here are the limits for dependent undergraduate students:
- 1st year: $5,500 (no more than $3,500 in subsidized loans)
- 2nd year: $6,500 (no more than $4,500 in subsidized loans)
- 3rd through 5th year: $7,500 per year (no more than $5,500 in subsidized loans)
- Total: $31,000
Here are the limits for graduate students:
- $20,500 per year (unsubsidized loans only)
- Total (includes undergraduate): $138,500
All Stafford Loans must be obtained directly from the federal government. (In the past, one could go through either the government or a private lender who participated in the government's education loan program.) To apply for a Stafford Loan, students must complete the federal government's financial aid application, the FAFSA. Family income and asset information provided on the FAFSA will be used to determine whether the student qualifies for a subsidized Stafford Loan, and other financial aid as well.
Stafford Loans are generally included as part of a student's financial aid package. If this is your child's first time receiving a Stafford Loan, he or she will be required to complete entrance counseling (to help understand his or her obligation to repay the loan) and sign a promissory note agreeing to the terms of the loan. For more information on the process, including dates and timelines, contact the financial aid office at the school your child is planning to attend.
The LWP Group is Here to Help
At the LWP Group, we're here to help you with all your college planning needs, including how best to incorporate Stafford Loans into your College Planning package, gifting and many other options. Visit our website www.TheLWPGroup.com or simply give us a call with any questions you may have. (734) 424-1700

Dave Meslin:
The antidote to apathy
Local politics — schools, zoning, council elections — hit us where we live. So why don't more of us actually get involved? Is it apathy? Dave Meslin says no. He identifies 7 barriers that keep us from taking part in our communities, even when we truly care.

On February 27, 2011 at 10:45 am (California time), my mom Susan passed away from complications arising from lung cancer. She was 68 years and 2 days old.
It's hard to believe she's not with us any more and I'm still pretty numb.
She was first diagnosed about 4 or so years ago. But there's no telling how long she had it prior to that time. It was a slow-growing form of cancer and it was deemed very treatable. She went through surgery to remove one lobe of the affected lung, and went through chemo and radiation therapy, which she tolerated well. After going through her course of treatment, she was said to be cancer-free. She was only required to return to her oncologist once every 6 months for a follow-up PET scan.
Recently, she had problems getting tired easily and was short of breath. My dad took her to the doctor and they discovered there was a buildup of fluid around her lung and heart. We were told this was a bad sign that the cancer had potentially returned. The fluid was tested and found to contain cancerous cells.
The fluid build up was severe enough that the doctor decided to have her go through another surgery to cut a "window" in her pericardial sac to allow fluid to drain naturally so it wouldn't put pressure on her heart.
After recovering at home for a few weeks from this procedure, she was again getting very fatigued and out of breath. My dad brought her back to the hospital again and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. After some other tests they found the cancer had spread to her other lung and lymphatic system.
After a few days in the hospital, she lapsed into an unresponsive state late on Friday, February 25th, her 68th birthday. A day and a half later, she passed on, never regaining consciousness. My dad, Bob, and my younger brother Adam were at her side at the end. I had no opportunity to make it out to California before she went, but my dad held his cell phone up to her ear on Saturday afternoon so I could say what would be my last words to her.
She was a wonderful mother and wanted nothing but the best for my brother and sister and I. She was not thrilled with my choice to join the military years ago! But as I had retired on January 1st, she knew that part of my life was over and I was "safe."
I miss you, Mom. The family somehow seems much smaller than the loss of one person should allow.
If you're a person of faith, please keep my dad in mind as he begins to bear going on without her.

Data manipulation in Mathematica
I have a set of data files in a matrix format that is the output of a C
program. It consists of a list of 3 columns, each containing 100 items.
I have been able to read in the data into Mathematica and organize it
into sublists. What I need help on is how to do some manipulations on
that data after I have it in sublists. First, I want to eliminate one
column and pair the remaining two to set up a list of data points to
graph. Then I want to retrieve the original data, delete a different
column and pair the remaining two for a contrasting set of data points.
Then, I want to take the log of all the numbers in a single column and
pair that new info with the original data from one of the other columns.
Is there anyway for me to do this type of manipulation within Mathematica?
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Hey really new been lookin into boba fett costumes for about a month now and was wondering whats the best way to go about this for a teenager with nearly no income about to go into college?
Where to start , good question , maybe decide what you want to have a go at and look at some of the threads for cheapest materials . Also all i can say is take your time and enjoy
Well what i was thinking was I found a great templet for a cardboard helmet that i believe the guy pulled from here and i was thinking of of sculpting kitty hair (fiberglass body filler) and sculpting around the cardboard helmet, after coating it in a release agent of course, and sanding it down from there. does it sound like a good plan
P.S. i was also thinking custom mandolorian with out the range finder, already have my color scheme picked out.
Hey mate. I was in the same boat as you, I got into all of this when I was about 16/17 and just starting college, I'm now 19 and in university and I'm still working on my fett. What I would say is if you can afford it, don't buy cheap. As you will eventually want to replace them for better things. Most people start off with the helmet, which is kinda logical as its the focal point of the character. But I new if I went with that first I would never get around to finishing the suit, I used the helmet as an incentive to finish. So I saved up and bought the "boring" parts first. So things like the flight suit, gloves, pouches exc... These generally are the cheapest parts. With the helmet and jet pack being the big money pieces. and if you plan on going movie accurate or 501st prepare to spend alot of money. My fett is probably close to £2500, it sounds a lot but that is spread over 2-3 years, so really it's more like a 100 quid here and 50 there. But it does start to add up.That was the method I took for my fett, but if you check the junkyard every now then there are some real bargains, so it doesn't really matter where you start. Just make sure you read up and research before you go jumping in. Fett is not an easy costume, but if done right is one of the best. And any parts you can build/paint yourself is again more money saved.
Wise words from Welsh , best not to go cheap but if you can make your own bucket then would be a big saving . I don't think there are many out right buyers on here we all have hidden talents i'm sure . I am in the process of making a full ally armor at the mo from off cut ally sheet from work , looked up the tutorials on armor and hey posted a thread on my progress . Keep at it Jake

Matte and flat paints,
but if you need to use a gloss becouse you can only find the colour you want in gloss then use gloss (or satin) once you are finished you want to coat the whole helmet in a Dull coat any way so that will even out the sheen levels
thanks jinto, every color i like is in gloss, but i will put a ton of dull coats on to even it out
yeah use whatever you want, just go back over everything with a matte clearcoat a couple times to dull the shine.
thanks guys everyone here is so helpful i appreciate all the help.
And if you do not like your paint job sand it down with 300-100 grit????
I had the same problem with my paint color choices. The olive was a satin, but the burgundy was gloss. After clear coating the whole kit with a flat clear, all the colors look the same as far as finish goes.
