Miria Parvin (Miss Honey) and Craige Els (Miss Trunchball) in 'Matilda'
Craige Els (Miss Trunchball) in 'Matilda'
Sharlene Whyte (Mrs Phelps) in 'Matilda'
Michael Begley (Mr Wormwood) in 'Matilda'
Tim Minchin's wickedly good story of a schoolgirl genius is still irresistible
'My mummy says I'm a miracle,' lisps a pampered mini-me at a purgatorial kiddies' birthday party at the outset of this delicious, treacly-dark family show. The obnoxious ma and pa of its titular, gifted, pint-sized heroine are not, of course, quite so doting. But 'Matilda' must be making its creators, playwright Dennis Kelly and comedian-songsmith Tim Minchin, a very pair of proud parents.
Opening to rave reviews in Stratford-upon Avon before transferring to the West End in 2011 and snatching up Olivier Awards with all the alacrity of a sticky-fingered child in a sweetshop, Matthew Warchus's RSC production remains a treat. With hindsight, Kelly and Minchin's musical, born of the 1988 novel by that master of the splendidly grotesque Roald Dahl, is a little too long and, dramatically, a tad wayward. But like the curly-haired little girl in the famous nursery rhyme, when it is good, it is very, very good. And it's even better when it's horrid.
The past few months have seen some cast changes, including, alas, the departure of Bertie Carvel's tremendous Miss Trunchbull, headmistress of the dread Crunchem Hall School, former Olympic hammer-thrower and a gorgon of monumental nastiness, complete with scarily Thatcher-esque tics of purse-lipped gentility and faux concern.
David Leonard doesn't quite match the squirm-inducing, hair-raising detail of Carvel in the role, but his more butch, granite-faced version is fantastically horrible nonetheless. And if Paul Kaye as Matilda's loathsome father Mr Wormwood was so greasily repellant that just watching him made you feel you needed a scalding shower, Steve Furst has more of a wide-boyish, casual cruelty; Annette McLaughlin as his Latin-dancing wife is a leggy wonder of ripe raspiness, spite and vanity. And Haley Flaherty is winning as the kindly Miss Honey, neatly side-stepping priggishness and conveying the tremulous courage of the much-kicked underdog, with a singing voice of sweetness and power.
As for the children, they are irresistible, stomping and skipping through Peter Darling's angular choreography, thrilling young audiences and push-pulling grown-ups from tears to gasps to laughter with such relentless energy that it leaves you breathless, exhilarated and marvelling at the many ways in which Minchin, Kelly and Dahl demonstrate that growing up is a lifelong endeavour. For kids, yes, but also for the children that we all remain at heart, this is wise, wicked, glorious fun.
This review is from 2012. The cast of 'Matilda' now includes Craige Els as Miss Trunchball, Michael Begley as Mr Wormwood, Rebecca Thornhill as Mrs Wormwood, and Miria Parvin as Miss Honey. The role of Matilda is shared by Emma Moore, Abbie Vena, Eva-Marie Saffrey and Lilian Hardy.
How to get cheap tickets: £5 day seats for 'Matilda' are available for young people aged 16-25 only. Arrive at the Cambridge Theatre box office well before it opens at 10am for your best chance of buying a ticket. One seat per person. In person only.

ExKin Anniversary: Five Years, What a Surprise!
As of today The Exploding Kinetoscope, bane of the film blogosphere, is five years old! Over the course of this half-decade we have had many adventures, you (theoretical reader) and I (me), from the Curse of Dwindling Posting Schedules/Readership to being Tweeted by Roger J. Ebert. I have fulfilled my destiny by being cited as a something-or-other in the Wikipedia article on esteemed pornography director Alex de Rezny, and IMDb boards still regularly link that essay on The Shining to demonstrate the dangers of crackpot over-analysis. This being the end of the year, most adherents of the Gregorian calendar are looking forward, which means it is time for us to look back for a moment.
The piece I really want to share here every year is my first "published" film criticism, a review of Billy Crystal's 1992 tour-de-Billy-Crystal Mr. Saturday Night, written for my junior high school newspaper. Alas, having searched for this important document for years, I seem to have destroyed all copies in my possession in a fit of late adolescent embarrassment. Suffice to say this notice in the South East Junior High Little Hawk was likely the most glowing write-up ever given Mr. Saturday Night, sole complaint being that the film's old age makeup effects were stellar but "everyone's faces look too tight and shiny." This phrase still echoes around my head, usually while witnessing the glossiest of studio spectacle pictures, be it summer action tentpole or holiday awards season prestige product: Tight! Shiny! Or: Too tight and shiny. Anyhow, this document being unavailable, I did unearth a gem from the archives, presented below.
Back in the times, it was fashionable for young people to have web-logs on the LiveJournal platform, likely due to the air of exclusivity lent by its invite-only requirements and the clubby atmosphere of its social networking elements. I did set up house there for a time, but became puzzled at my readership's lack of interest when I would enthuse about sundry European horror pictures and mid-century monster movies. A funny and mean lady of my acquaintanceship at the time laid out the straight facts: "Nobody has anything to say about movies they haven't seen." Oh, well, that makes good sense, I thought, and set about the business of setting up this joint which is not so strictly face-to-face-pals-only — i.e., a proper blog. This story demonstrates the importance of having funny, mean girls in one's life. It also reminds me to value any readers who feel compelled to comment. My sole blogging resolution for 2011 is to be more present and attentive to the comments sections.
Like any teenager who worries over his garage band's logo before writing any songs, casting about for the perfect blog title consumed many hours. I will cop to being preoccupied with presentation over content, but from a corporate-speak "branding" perspective, title, look, feel are important after all. You don't want a blog title that you will be sick of in six months. When choosing a title — I still remember this process, I swear — I tried to stick to the dicta that it should, be sort of short, evoke our topic ("the movies and T.V.") in some way, and not be too cute, punning or insidery. It should have at least one "interesting" word in it, a certain poetic ring and mystery. Overtones of sex and death are plusses. Basically it should sound kind of rock n' roll.
My first choice title was The Bloodshot Eye, which I still think is pretty good. It's simple, mildly unpleasant, and completely true. Sadly, it was already taken. Fair warning: all that happens for the rest of this ramble is that I talk about titles I didn't use.
Reproduced below is the actual scrawled list generated while brainstorming potential blog titles. Unfortunately it is undated, but it is on Standard Federal Bank (Michigan?) notepad, and has the phone number of someone called Maria on the reverse in someone else's handwriting. I assume this was scrap paper in the office of some job I have forgotten and was ignoring while making the list. Don't strain your eyes, I will decipher and annotate the list for you. And please don't judge too harshly: this is mostly storm and very little brain. It's all for charity, folks.
4 Feet Off the Ground — The tale goes that industrialist Leland Stanford (yes, that Stanford) commissioned Eadweard Muybridge to create his first photographic sequences of a animals in motion in order to settle the matter of whether a galloping horse does, indeed, simultaneously lift all its hooves from the ground. A: Yes, they do, and also this is how horses invented the motion picture. While the reference is pleasingly oblique and in secondary meaning sounds elated, it is just this side of too oblique.
The Circuit Theater — The main thing about the crossed-off ones is that they suck. This one is, I think, an acceptable pun (circuit like a computer! Computers have circuits, right?), but oh, come on.
The Continuity Sheet — Maybe the idea here was that this blog would be a thing people would check regularly for some purpose? Crossed off immediately.
The Establishing Shot — Many of my terrible, rejected ideas were later put to good use by actual websites who don't seem to know they are terrible.
How is Cinema? — The kind of excellently bad idea one has to write down for the pleasure of X-ing out. BUT I still think about this one, pointlessly mashing-up Bazin and the kind of casual, everyday moviegoer conversation that begins "You saw Movie X this weekend? How was it?" This question, understood in the vernacular as innocently intended invitation to voice one's opinion of Movie X, also has the feel of deep/meaningless question that sets aglaze the eyes of the very stoned: how is it? How is it? Woah.
Checking the Gate — Awful, but cementing the idea that the title ought to sound like a location, event or object, more than an action. More than a little mundane, inappropriately associated with film production which little concerns us here, and later used as a blog title by an animal trainer.
Road Show Exhibition — A bit too prestigious/pretentious sounding, while curiously lacking any phonaesthetic loveliness.
Two-Reeler — Nicely antiquated, maybe, but not particularly pretty or cool enough to justify that it has nothing to do with most of the eventual content here.
The March of Time — Not wanting to invoke a specific film, let alone a radio/newsreel series, pushed this one off the list. But I get it: there's an odd push-pull between current events and old timeyness in the reference, and the phrase has always had a delectable fatalistic ring about it.
The Latham Loop — Clearly grasping here, but in defense I was searching film history for a nice found phrase, not straining for obscurity. Another crappy one later used by someone else.
Black Maria Cocktail Party — This, I maintain, is completely rad, and was very, very close to being the name of this space. The words still lurk somewhere in the code of this blog, I believe. It's got everything, really: early cinema, attractive juxtaposition, and booze.
The Exploding Kinetoscope — Exploding Plastic Inevitable is turn of nonsense phrase and all-time greatest name of anything contender that I've never been able to get over since first hearing it. It's a word-string that I turn over in my head all the time, and I was kind of doomed to rip it off. Anyway, the final pick has two Good Words, classy birth-of-cinema ambiance, overtones of violence and spectacle, and sounds maybe a little sleazy. In our masthead, it is coupled with Official Blog Slogan "Film: The Deadliest Art," an irresistibly dumb, ominous, ultimately meaningless inversion of Arthur Knight's formerly popular book The Liveliest Art (1957), which never hurt anyone, but I am punk rock like that.
Laterna Magika — A heavy contender, utilizing the X-Files foreign language titling trick and looking cool in the process. I believe I simply mis-/wishfully-spelled "Magica," so it's nothing to do with the Prague theater I just read about on Wikipedia. Alas, Kenneth Anger and Ingmar Bergman got here first, thus this was nixed.
Tachistoscope Popcorn Experiment — Would that this were not quite so clunky, because it is so much down the right track, you know? The urban-legendary incident to which it refers is a long-time fascination of mine, as it is creepy, paranoid, and a total lie that lives on as casually accepted fact. It is vaguely film-related without really having anything to do with film, and it has a "scope" and an X in it. I call dibs on this phrase forever.
The House Reel — Mainly rejected for problems of boringness and corniness.
The Flower of Gower Gulch — Firstly, this is a song that Porky Pig sings in "Drip-Aong Daffy". Secondly, that song is a sorta-inside joking reference to the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Gower Street, where in beautiful times long gone, cowboy-type bit players would hang out, and screen-ready Western extras could be scooped up by the truckload. I was, at the time this blog began, living about a block from this historic location, now the site of a not-particularly-charming strip mall, Denny's and Rite-Aid. Time marches on!
Academy Ratio — Boring, and additionally too strongly suggests that this might be an Old Time Movies ONLY blog, which it is surely not. As a side note, my understanding of aspect ratios is basic, functional or slightly-above-average, depending on the room, so why bait for trouble like that? Also, it sounds snooty and doesn't go POP.
This is Cinerama! — Appealing for its exclamation point, but too specific by a mile. Again, later put into use by other blog-minded parties.
Poverty Row Babylon — ... and here is the second choice, the only one that in retrospect I sometimes wish I'd used instead. The historical Poverty Row was not a specific location proper, but several of the studios were located in roughly the same area. As it happens, the hellhole apartment where I lived back then was in proximity to some of those places, and in the meantime I have only moved closer to the heart of the Row as it were. It is important to me that I walk past the Monogram Pictures facilities all the time, a sight that never fails to send a chill down my spine. Those are the kinds of reasons that I really, actually love Los Angeles, and am increasingly disinterested in ever living anywhere else. So associating the dinge-romance of Poverty Row with the horror-glitz of Hollywood Babylon and therefore also with Kenneth Anger (and by proxy an interest in occult studies that I try to keep out of this blog), Intolerance, my actual neighborhood, etc. I reckon it only lost the race because it is sort of a parody title. Nobody steal it, because I'm gonna use it for something.
The Hanging Gardens of Poverty Row — This is, like, the same thing but unnecessarily wordy, obtuse and cute, though it's kind of pretty.
Speaking of L.A. history, glamor and dilapidation, I have spruced up the ol' blog code and look for the first time in several years, aiming for less oppressive and more handmade feel. The Exploding Kinetoscope of 2011: Tight! Shiny! Rising up to the right there is my fairly caricatured depiction of the awe-inspiring Los Angeles Theater. This historic treasure has been nicely preserved, but due to the general rottenness of downtown L.A. is not used for regular film screenings.
Aaaand speaking of regular usage, I know posting around here is spotty in comparison with every other blog in the universe. You know, I do try to strive for quality over quantity (present navel-gazing excepted), so for those who stick with ExKin anyway, y'all are a quality audience, regardless of quantity.
And with that, I've gone on plenty long, so to all readers who have crossed this blog's path in the last five years, whether supporters or dissenters, friends or gawkers, I thank you kindly, and invite you to drop by anytime during the next five. There's usually coffee on.

'This team as currently constructed is good enough to make the playoff. If they continue to match the intensity they have shown over the last 10 games, they may even contend for a high seed, although the Northeast Division crown is likely out of reach. As we have seen in recent weeks, they can defeat anyone at anytime.'

This background effortlessly opens and collapses in seconds and folds down to 1/3 its open size.
For any on-location photographer, sometimes finding a suitable background for your image is difficult. Take the worries out of scouting your location beforehand and be prepared for anything with these portable backdrops. They can be set up in seconds and easily leaned against a wall or hung using our collapsible and lightweight background stand.
This background features true chroma key color for key compositing. This is a technique for compositing two images or frames together in which a color from one image is removed (made transparent), revealing another image behind it commonly used in video production and post-production.
Whether in the office or at home, quickly transform an unorganized space into a professional environment. Simply place this background behind you by leaning it up against a wall or using an optional collapsible background stand. The party you are conferencing with won't know whether you are in your office or a cluttered toy room.
For professional results, the only option for digital editing is utilizing a "true" chroma key backdrop. Many times people source backdrops that may appear close in color to either a chroma key green or blue; however, quickly realize that results will vary drastically using these imposters. Clean up your keying with a "true" custom manufactured chroma-key fabric and ensure perfect and easy results with every application.
Be prepared for anything as this collapsible backdrop pairs both a Chroma-Key Green and Chroma-Key Blue together in one easy-to-use design. Clothing color will determine what backdrop should be used. When photographing a group of people one by one, this can cause a problem as most times clothing colors will vary greatly. With this backdrop, you can simply flip from one side to the other to whatever best fits your subject.
Be prepared for any situation with this huge 6' x 7' Collapsible background. The most versatile of all portable backdrops allowing for full length body shots, 3/4 body shots or headshots.
When using this background for digital editing with the intention of removing it in post production, make sure your talent has no clothing or accessories that match the background. If they do, they may show up invisible to the camera.
Backdrops can be mounted a variety of ways. They can be leaned against a wall or flat surface or hung using the included top handle strap. In addition, an optional lightweight collapsible background stand may be purchased.
At Westcott, we back many of our products with a lifetime warranty. This backdrop includes a lifetime frame warranty and one year on fabrics and finishing. If your frame ever breaks, simply send it back to Westcott and we will replace it at no charge.

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." There is a real debate about who actually made this remark, but it is often attributed to Albert Einstein. Perhaps this may be an extreme statement, but it emphasizes the importance of this small insect.
I grew up in Cecil County with my siblings and we had a big, big yard, not a lawn. A yard covered with little white clover blossoms that honey bees just loved. Every summer, our barefoot selves would be stung two or three times. I always felt bad because I knew the bee died – my mom always told us that when she pulled out the stinger and covered it with baking soda paste. I moved back to our home several years ago and we still have that big, big yard, not a lawn! But, I hardly ever see those bees anymore and the clover just doesn't seem as robust. Why is that? There's been buzz in the media about bees disappearing, but what does it all mean?
On Thursday, March 29th, we're hosting a Science Cafe to answer many of these questions. Katherine Darger, a Master's candidate from the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, will discuss the importance of bees in your garden. She'll cover identifying and attracting them, and when to be afraid and when not to. Although the topic doesn't encompass the world, our gardens and yards are microcosms of the big picture. The ecological health of our gardens and our pollinators are indicators of the importance of bees in agriculture and world economics.
Whether you love bees or are terrified of them, they are critical to our world. And, besides, who doesn't enjoy that bit of honey in our tea or on a slice of warm homemade bread!!!
Have questions about bees? Share them here or join us Thursday night to learn more about these fascinating creatures and their role in our lives.

For all of you who participated in the first-ever Robert Stivers Groundhog Day Trivia Contest, the answers are below. If you didn't get to take the quiz, there's still time—just be sure you don't cheat by reading the answers first. The contest ran over the weekend, just a couple of Bill's Eye blog posts ago.
1)Robert's hometown is London in Laurel County. You might hear him talk a lot about Manchester in Clay County because that's where he lives now is and part of the senate district he represents. But, make no mistake, he was "raised up" in London.
2)The president of the Kentucky State Senate has a two-year degree from Sue Bennett College. Sue Bennett was a private school in London that was founded in 1897, but closed in 1997. Robert graduated from U.K. and has a law degree from the University of Louisville.
3)Robert's mother had a degree from Harvard. She was a Massachusetts girl who graduated from Simmons College and then earned a master's degree from Harvard before she came to Kentucky to work in Appalachia.
4)Robert was born on Christmas Eve, 1961.
5)Stivers was a Little Leaguer with KET commentator, columnist, author, and Louisville lawyer John David Dyche.
Well, there you have it. If you got all five correct, pat yourself on the back and tell the president of the senate you took the Robert Stivers Groundhog Day quiz and passed with flying colors.
Monday's "Kentucky Tonight" show might have been billed as "Hemp versus Heat" as Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and former state treasurer Jonathan Miller sat down with Ky. State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer and Operation UNITE vice-president Dan Smoot to discuss legalizing industrial hemp. It might have been the first time both sides of this very controversial issue have been side-by-side to trade blows over the hemp issue. They haven't made a lot of joint (excuse me) appearances to debate the subject.
Here's an exchange from the program over the distinctions between growing industrial hemp and marijuana in Kentucky:
Watch the entire program at www.ket.org .
Finally, if Tom Loftus's recent Courier-Journal interview with Mary Lassiter (secretary of the governor's cabinet) was a preview of what we'll hear Wednesday night in Beshear's State of the Commonwealth address, it could be a short speech.
Lassiter was quoted as saying, "there's no money for anything."
The governor might consider Tweeting his speech in; I'll bet he could do it in 140 characters.
Regardless, KET will be there with the speech, interviews, and analysis. Kenny Colston, from Kentucky Public Radio will join Renee Shaw and I starting at 7/6 C on KET and online.

Hello all,
I rather like Ven. Narada Maha Theras approach:
Venerable Narada Maha Thera - A Buddhist Missionary Par Excellence by Olcott Gunasekera
My mission abroad was never to proselytize but merely to present the teachings of the Buddha to those who are interested. I found numerous such persons. To those who believed in God, I said, if you are convinced of God and if it is beneficial, by all means you may believe in him. But for my part, I told them that I could do better without depending on him."
These words of Ven. Narada Maha Thera (Ceylon Daily News- 21.12.1966) showed the same spirit, even after 2500 years after the parinibbana of the Buddha, of the following utterance of the Buddha. "Aparuta tesam amatassa dvara ye sotavanto pamuncantu saddham Vihimsa sanni pagunam na bhasim - Dhammam panitam manujesu brahme" ti (Mahapadana Sutta, Digha Nikaya) - "Open are the doors to the deathless those who have ears repose trust".

Wickert: Out of prison
November 1, 2012
I have heard the two candidates for district attorney speak on a number of occasions. At one venue, Democrat candidate Bruce Brown actually said his goal was to
"… get as many people out of jail as possible." I could not believe my ears! That may be fine in his current job of criminal defense attorney, but not as a district attorney. I want my district attorney to fight to put and keep murderers, rapists and pedophiles in prison, not keep them out to rape and murder again. It looks like Bruce Brown has his own agenda. He has shown us that to put a criminal defense attorney in the district attorney position is to put a fox in the hen house. Vote for safety. Vote for Scott Turner for district attorney.

What made the four hour drive North more than worth it was two things: the conference speakers and the company I kept. The Anglican Schools office is run, in this country, by the extraordinary and wonderful Ali Ballantyne. Despite being shaken out of her Christchurch office and being forced to run things on a patchwork system she has cobbled together in the garage of her home, she put together a program that was as good as anything I have been to for years. The chief speaker was Lat Blaylock, a Christian Education theorist from the UK with a profound understanding of the spiritual needs of children and a passion for enabling them to talk about the big questions in life. I came away from the conference with the process I will use in this year's Diocesan Synod to help us address issues of commitment and allocation of resources. I came away also with knowledge of an extraordinary resource I will share later: a collection of spiritual poems written by British children.
I knew many of the people at the conference, although, poor dears, some of them had aged so much they didn't recognise me. It is interesting to see someone after a long separation because the progress in that person's life (or the lack of it) will be dramatically apparent; and in the case of the many with whom I had conversations it was quite inspiring to see where the Spirit had led them and what the Spirit was making of them. Many have devoted most of their working lives to the spiritual nurture and education of young people, and they are pretty darned good at it. Without exception they are becoming whole, grounded, self aware people. I met some others as well, for the first time, largely principals of Anglican schools, and again these were very impressive people. In particular, Gillian Simpson, the Principal of St. Margaret's College in Christchurch, spoke at the conference dinner. She spoke simply but powerfully about surviving the earthquake: about the devastation of her school and the loss of life in her school community; and of the faith and practical support from her Anglican community which has sustained her. I found her address profoundly moving and inspiring.
Before driving home after the conference I went out to Sumner for lunch with an old friend. I had a sandwich in his devastated house, and looked out over the wreckage of his neighbourhood. I'll write of that later, also.

|I've got an A/C Delco 20 ton which likely came from the same chinese sweat shop and I can say if you break it, you're not doing regular DIY stuff. I've put some serious loads on it in my business with no complaints from it. HF may be different, but from a 20 ton point, it's fine for me.
|I have had one of those things for several years now and it is one of HF's better buys, dirt cheap for what it does and yes you can use the coupon. I don't know how they can sell that much hardware for that price but they do and it's a very handy addition to the shop, you won't even come close to beating that price anywhere! Mine has been pushed to the max a bunch of times and there are no signs of frame bending nor does the ram leak, overall it is a real bargain.
HF 20 ton shop press
I'm thinking about buying a Harbor Freight 20 ton shop press. It's listed in this month's HF flyer at $199.99. I'm not sure if I can use that 20% coupon on it since I cannot read the teenie weenie small print on the coupon but if I can that would bring it down to around $160.00.
I have a 6 ton a-frame press that I bought at Northern Tools a number of years ago and I have used it for several things but it's just too small for most stuff. Is a 20 ton big enough to be used for most applications? It looks small enough to not take up a great amount of space. The price is reasonable.

What is Domestic Violence?
Authored By: National Coalition Against Domestic Violence

What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate partner against another. It is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background.
Violence against women is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma, and sometimes death. The consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime.

The reality bombshell confirmed her pregnancy on New Year's Eve 2012 in a post on her personal website, after Kanye revealed the baby news at a concert the previous day.
"It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby," she wrote at the time. "We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo"
Kim is reportedly due in July.

Search for mason bee hives, get one of those. Put up lots of unpainted cedar trim for the carpenter bees.
Hi. Does anyone know where I could buy milkweed plants? or butterfly weed? I cannot find these at any nursery in town. I've tried to grow butterfly weed from seed without success. I'm just not a very good gardener. :(
The National Wildlife Federation's Wildlife Habitat program is a great resource for bird/butterfly/bee plant lists and suggestions on making a wildlife friendly yard. And if you haven't checked it out, look at the Great Sunflower Project - maybe you have more bees than you think!
Simple: don't use any pesticides.Don't mow, don't weed. Let the land go native.
Quote from: Joseph Clemens on June 14, 2008, 03:03:42 PMSimple: don't use any pesticides.Don't mow, don't weed. Let the land go native.Unfortuneately I think the neighbors would be pretty mad if I did that... well, not the pesticides bit... which I really don't use much of. Though this year I did give in and use a slug bait earlier in the year. I also spray ant killer inside the house to combat the sugar ants as best I can. But I don't spray it outdoors. That's probably a lot worse for me, but it's better for my blood pressure when I don't see sugar ants covering the countertops. :-DGoing back to the bee attraction topic... I see a lot of posts about using sugar water for feeding... I'm wondering if hummingbird feeders also work or if they are not bee accessible.
Most humming bird feeders have bee guards on them. You can either take them off or use something else.
There is always a stand off between the hummers & bees at my window feeder, bees can be pretty persistant!! They use different eating places, hummers the regular ones & the bees the rim. Jody

Can 2°C warming be avoided?
Figure: A schematic representation of (a) fossil CO2 emissions, (b) CO2-equivalent concentrations, and (c) global mean temperature for two scenarios: Firstly, an "immediate stabilization" which implies rising CO2-equivalent concentrations up to around 415 ppm in 2015 and stable levels after that (red dashed line). This scenario is clearly hypothetical as the implied emission reductions in 2015 and beyond would hardly be feasible. Secondly, a peaking scenario (green solid line), which temporarily exceeds and then returns to a 415 ppm stabilization level. Both scenarios manage to stay below a 2°C target – for a climate sensitivity of 3.8°C or lower. This is roughly equivalent to a 4:1 chance of staying below 2°C3.
Indeed, avoiding concentrations of – say – 475ppm CO2 equivalent (see Figure a) will require quite significant reductions in emissions. However, as long as we reduce emissions decisively enough, concentrations in the atmosphere could lower again towards the latter half of the 21st century and beyond. The reasons are the relatively short lifetimes of methane, nitrous oxide, other greenhouse gases and some CO2 uptake by the oceans (as discussed here).
Now, what is going to happen to our cat, if we turn up the heat control of our oven to about 475 ppm and then reduce it again? If we react quickly enough, we might be able to save the cat from some irreversible consequences. In other words, if concentrations are lowered fast enough after peaking at 475 ppm, the temperature might not exceed 2°C. Basically, the thermal inertia of the climate system will shave off the temperature peak that the cat would otherwise have felt if the oven temperature reacted immediately to our control button.
Thus, to sum up: Even under the very likely scenario that we exceed 400 ppm CO2 concentrations in the very near future, it seems likely that temperatures could be limited to below 2°C with a 4:1 chance, if emissions are reduced fast enough to peak at 475 ppm CO2 equivalent, before sliding back to 400 ppm CO2-equivalent.
Peaking at 475 ppm CO2-equivalent concentrations and returning to 400 ppm certainly comes at a cost, though: Our oven will approach 2°C more quickly compared to a (hypothetical) scenario where we halt the build-up of CO2 concentrations at 400 ppm (see Figure c). Thus decisions would need to be different if we care more about the rate of warming than the equilibrium. In fact, some emission pathways and some models also suggest that peaking at 475 ppm CO2 equivalent and returning to 400 ppm might even slightly decrease our chances to stay below 2°C (see Chapter 28 in the DEFRA report). Depending on the actual thermal inertia of the climate system, the peak temperature corresponding 475 ppm might be very close to the 400 ppm equilibrium temperature. This points to a more fundamental issue: Rather than discussing ultimate stabilization levels, it might be more worthwhile for policy and science to focus on the peak level of greenhouse gas concentrations. By the time that we managed to peak concentrations we could still decide whether we want to stabilize at 400 ppm or closer to pre-industrial levels. We will most likely be able to make wiser decisions in the future given that we certainly have learnt something about the cat's behavior in its current fever.
1. The equilibrium warming dT can be easily estimated from the CO2 equivalent stabilization level C, if one would know the climate sensitivity S, with the following little formula: dT=S*ln(C/278 ppm)/ln(2)
2. This is of course a probability that merely reflects the uncertainty in our knowledge. The climate sensitivity is not random, it is just unknown. It expresses our degree of belief in that outcome, and is of course subject to future modification in the light of new evidence.

|Script packages are an integral part of virtual system patterns in IBM Workload Deployer. By attaching script packages to your patterns, you provide customizations particular to your unique cloud-based middleware environments. Customizations provided by script packages might include installing applications, creating application resources, integrating with external enterprise systems, and much more. The bottom line is, if you are creating virtual system patterns, you will almost certainly be creating script packages.
|Largely, the act of creating a script package is independent of IBM Workload Deployer. The appliance does not dictate a particular scripting language, so all you need to do is make sure you can invoke your logic in the operating system environment. Your script package may be a wsadmin script, shell script, Java program, Perl script, and on and on. After you create the actual contents of your script package, you will then load that asset into the IBM Workload Deployer catalog.
|Once loaded into the catalog, you define several attributes of your script package, including the executable command, command arguments, variables, execution time, and more. The process for defining these attributes is trivial using the intuitive UI in IBM Workload Deployer, but I wanted to take a little time to remind you of a technique I recommend to all users defining script packages. You can actually package a JSON file within the script package that defines all of the script's attributes. The format of the file is simple, and I am including an example below:
|The example above is one taken from a script package in our samples gallery, and it shows the basics of which you need to be aware. Notice that in the JSON file, you can provide a name, description, unzip location, executable command, command arguments, variables, and more. You only need to ensure that the name of this JSON file is cbscript.json and that you include it at the root of the script package archive. Once you have done that, you load the script package archive into the catalog, refresh the script package details, and voila -- all the attribute definitions appear!
|You may ask why I recommend this since it could seem like an unnecessary step. My answer to that is that you have to define these attributes anyway, so you might as well capture it once in the file. Once you capture it once in the file, you can ensure that if the same script needs to be reloaded, or if you need to move it to another appliance, its definition will be exactly the same (and presumably correct). I use this approach for all of my work, and for all of the samples I contribute to our gallery, and it really saves me a lot of misplaced effort that can result from typos. If you are out there creating script packages, try adopting this approach. I'm pretty sure you will be happy you did!

Where are they now? Rory Medcalf
17/01/2013 , 12:56 PM by Sarah Ndiaye
This region has produced some incredible talent - and often they go off into the world and we don't get to hear their stories.
This year we're taking the time to explore what's happened to some of those talented, famous and even infamous people from the Northern Rivers.
The first guest for 'Where are they now?' grew up in Alstonville, and blitzed his senior high school years at Kadina High. Rory Medcalf has worked as a journalist, a diplomat and an intelligence officer. He's now one of the most senior directors' of the international think tank, the Lowy Institute.
He share's some insight into foreign affairs, diplomatic relations and what goes on behind the scenes when something big happens on an international front.
Have a listen to his chat with Jo Shoebridge here.

Lorain County heroin epidemic continues
(Elyria) - There were as many as 16 heroin overdoses in Lorain County Saturday and two were fatal, taking the lives of two men, one from Elyria and one from Amherst.
Lorain County coroner Dr. Stephen Evans says the region is still grappling with a heroin epidemic that continues to get worse as time goes on, and it has spread into the suburbs.
He tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that people addicted to prescription pills have now switched to the more cheaper and easier to get heroin. Evans says they were averaging 1 death a day during the past week, along with countless overdoses.
Detectives believe the overdoses are being caused by pushers selling either pure heroin or bad heroin. They are urging the public to report anyone they know that uses or sells the drug.
The situation is so bad, police officers have been trained to spot overdoses and how to treat them with the antidote drug Narcan.

Aggression after walks
I'm hoping maybe some trainers out there with lots of experience might have an answer. Jake is now 8 1/2 months. We just went on our first fairly long walk since his pano. We come home and as soon as we get in the house he becomes uncontrollably aggressive with the other dogs ( all smaller than him), and just charges them and starts instigating fights with them. Like he's meeting a strange dog that he totally hates. I'm not understanding this behavior.
Obviously I don't have the upper hand because he ignores my commands and his adrenalines raging and he completely looses his mind. Oh it doesn't matter that he's still on the leash I might add. Tonight the cattle dog was out back when we came home. I went to take Jake out back, she wanted to come in so they were close to each other, he just attacked her!
Got her in the house and kept him out with me til he calmed down, sat and waited by the open door and was able to focus on me. We went in, let him off the leash, he's around the other dogs like nothing ever happened. He's behaved this way before, but not this aggressively.
I'm thinking maybe put him in a down when we come in til he's completely calm? Or maybe there's a better way. And where's this all coming from? Besides the fact he's not respecting me. Maybe this is a dominance issue, letting the the other dogs know he's home? Maybe back to basics? I did pretty much give him a month 1/2 off from most training because of pano. Probably shouldn't have, he just seemed so uncomfortable. Time to get out the prong collar? Any ideas?
No prong! That is exactly the wrong tool to use as a rookie! It can put drive into a dog not take it out! And if as you say he does not respect you he could very well "come up the leash on you" if you use a prong badly on him! Right now your best bet is to manage him, keep him away from the other dogs put a drag leash on him and or a muzzle. Keep the other dogs safe have him checked again to see if there is something medically wrong with him.
Two or More Dogs
Your dog has to respect you as a leader for any training/leadership to work
Leerburg Dog Training | The Groundwork to Establishing Pack Structure with Adult Dogs
Good info here about dog aggression in general
Leerburg | My dog is dog aggressive. What can I do about this aggression?
It sounds like you most likely need to find a competent qualified trainer, I had this problem myself with my GSD he had no problem with me running the ship but he wanted to run the crew!
Definitely do everything Chip18 has posted. Another thing to try is to do a good training session when you get home, before you get in the house or come in contact with your other dogs. It'll help him brush up on his behaviors since he's been off for a while as well as help tire him out mentally. I run into the problem a lot where owners walk their dogs and the walk gets them fired up so when they get home, they don't actually settle. In my experience, a walk followed immediately by a training session helps even out my dogs and take the edge off the post-walk excitement. Obviously not something that's going to solve the problem, but something that could help in the meantime.
Lack of exercise in combination with the prong collar, most likely, are responsible for your dog agressiveness. Particularly, if you say he goes through intensive training. Prong should never be used for training, only for correction of already learned commands your dog isn't perfect with, and even though, you should use two collars - both, prong and flat one, switching from mainly used flat onto prong in a way that your dog doesn't notice it. Prong should never be used on nervous or potentially agressive dogs, as it affects nervous system. If your dog doesn't heel properly - it means that you, as a handler is not much fan for him, some pee on a tree is more interesting. You have a problem of your dog not paying attention to you on walks, if he pulls and doesn't listen. I suggest you to post it as a separate question on this site.
Back to your question with other dogs. Young intact male, full of energy and thursty to explore life, abyss of luring smells, spring odours and young females walking somewhere around, lots of living objects to prey on, and instincts that rip him apart. He is thursty for life. Instead of chasing the ball and tracking 3-4 miles daily, visiting new places and playing intellectual games - you provided him a boring obedience training on a prong collar, when he cannot even pull closer to that tree. Does he run freely? For how long? How much of exercise you provide? If you don't, it leads to extreme frustration, he simply uses your other dogs as scapegoats to to relieve himself from it.
I suggest you to get non-pull harness, a long 7 metre line, and walk him only using that, so, he can go wherever he wants to. Go regularly, as often as you can, somewhere in the woods for 2-3 hour walks with a ball. And do your obedience training during those walks as short sessions. Without any prong collars. In fact, to make your dog obedient you don't need any tools.
You wouldn't solve the problem by separating him from other dogs, absolutely opposite - he might understand it as something special and start looking for a moment to bite. Try to distract him as much as you can, call him to yourself, run away so he would follow you, create a new stereotype for him on your return, like feeding and looking for toys around the house, etc.
Easily wind up wit two dogs with "issues" instead of one!
Note rank drive below:
(Elements of Temperament, by Joy Tiz )
While he was recuperating did you really give him all that free time to run the show? Bully the other dogs, charge through doorways, etc? If so, then yes back to basics is probably the best idea. I think a long down after a walk is a good idea too, as long as that's a reasonable expectation and it's not going to add more conflict. Otherwise, maybe a crated nap would work better.
Thanks everyone for the input and advice. Yes I agree with "an obedient GSD is a tired GSD", but that can't always be the case. Jake is my 4th GSD, in a span of about 26 years. So I'm not new to the breed or the temperaments or behaviors. I have a prong, but I don't use it on Jake. Hes DDR/czech lines with very high drives. He's pretty good on walks except for those few incidents, like the deer in front of us yesturday. But after they shot into the woods. I let Jake track and explore too. Not Nearly long enough though. The other time he pulled yesturday was at a fenced dog. We just walked through it. These things (pulling when excited) have to be addressed I know. But the coming unglued behavior when we get home is really what's got me stumped. Although thinking back, the dog behind the fence that had Jake so riled up wasn't very far from here. I'm sure his adrenaline was still raging when we got home. I think Sechattin might have something there with a short training session before we come in. But David, I think you are right also. He needs to expend more energy on his walks/outings. Blanketback, no when he was down I didn't let him run the show. He still had to earn his treats. He still had to follow the rules . He's not completely over pano, but obviously he's way ready to get out and do things. Separating the dogs shouldn't have to happen. I've just got to change Jake's mindset or figure out what's causing it. Thanks again everyone for your help. Really appreciate your ideas and other options I can try.
well this won't make me popular with the already posted, but here goes.
I wouldn't put up with this poop:) He LIVES with these dogs, they aren't strangers, if he gets along fine with them otherwise, there's no reason for him to be a butt head after a walk.
I agree with getting him to calm down before you re enter the house, but I've also done what others here have suggested not to, and mine is czech/ddr with High ENERGY, .. She used to come in the house after being somewhere with me, start a "in your face barking fest" with the other dogs, no attacking, but trying to get a reaction out of them...Prong collar on leash, correction, doesn't do it anymore:)
I don't baby my dogs, I don't have dogs who's feelings get hurt when they get a correction, they get one, they are over it, they move on. I might add I don't 'beat' my dogs either:)))
If the other dog keeps getting attacked while the OP is in the learning curve, the problem gets worse and worse.
But hey if "exercise fails" emergency back up plan is here:

Comments about oreilly Professional ASP.NET MVC 5:
I quit buying Wrox books years ago, and this one reminded me of some of the reasons why. The quality of the content is very uneven, and the authors talk about non-existent code samples. All in all, it reflects the multi-author nature of an anthology rather than a coherent reference. There is some useful information in it, but I would not pay full price for this book.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have a combi boiler here at home. When I moved in, there was no thermostat at all, just the TRV's.
I installed an electronic programmable thermostat from Maplin the first year, but as I have posted elsewhere, I am still not happy with it. The problem is that my house is now so well insulated that it continues to get warmer even when the thermostat has shut off.
This guy has the same trouble with an electronic thermostat he just bought from Amazon:
Now, the old mechanical thermostats used to have what was called an 'accelerating resistor' inside them. This provided a small amount of heat inside the thermostat when the boiler was running. This reduced the hysteresis, (the difference between the on and off temperature) and so reduced the effect that I have a problem with.
I will have to chase out the wall to fit a back box to install a mechanical stat, which would make it difficult to go back to the electronic one. Does anyone think it worthwhile?

Turkey Production Survey
Wild Turkey Production and Population Survey Results for 2007
The 2007 hunting season was the 29th year of our annual turkey population survey. The continuing cooperation of turkey hunters has made the survey possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and the information you provide is valuable in tracking our turkey population.
Turkey Production Index Survey
This survey was conducted from May through August from 1978 thru 1990. Beginning in 1991, the annual survey period was shortened to June through August. Field personnel of the Game Management, Law Enforcement, and Fisheries Management Sections of the Wildlife Resources Division are involved in data collection. All observations of turkey broods and hens, with and without poults, are reported.
During the summer of 2007, 336 broods were seen, which was down 21% from 426 in 2006. However, brood totals alone can be misleading as a measure of production. In past years the number of poults per observer was the best measure or index of relative reproduction success (and ultimately population levels) because it accounted for annual differences in number of observers and poults in broods. In recent years DNR biologists have had a chance to further analyze this long-term set of production data and have determined that the count of Poults + Hens may actually be the better predictor for the following seasons hunting population rather than Poults per Observer. For the next several years we will be using both measures to determine which index is the better predictor. The average brood size of 6.3 poults seen in 2007 was 25% less than observed in 2006 (8.4) and 23% less than the previous 5-years average (8.2). The statewide production index of poults per observer (10.00) was 37% less than last years 15.88 and 41% below the 5-year average (16.9). The production index poults + hens was 4,005 in 2007, which was 31% less than the 2006 index of 5,787 and 22% below the 5-year average of 5,154. The average number of poults per hen was 1.1 in 2007 down 31% from 1.6 in 2006 and down 41% from the previous 5-years average (1.9). An average of 3.0 or above is usually considered an indicator of good production in expanding turkey populations. The past several years of production data and harvest data indicate that the turkey population in Georgia is stabilized and no longer expanding, therefore reproductive levels do not have to be as high to sustain current population levels. It appears that reproductive levels around 2 poults per hen or slightly less have been able to maintain our current population level for the past 10 years.
Reproduction data suggest that on a statewide basis turkey production was once again depressed in 2007, and may be considered poor, especially when compared to the excellent reproduction in the previous decade. With the past 3 years of reproduction being so low, Georgia will likely see a decline in turkey population, but this can quickly change with just one good reproduction year! Cyclic, up-and-down trends are a natural aspect observed in wildlife populations, especially in turkeys as reproduction can be greatly affected by unpredictable, spring/summer weather conditions (such as this years drought in much of the state). Managing for quality habitat should remain a priority to avoid additional limitations during seasons of low production. Overall, Georgias turkey population is still good.
Hunting Population Index Survey
This survey is conducted during the spring gobbler season with hunt data being supplied by hunter- volunteers. Specific information requested about each hunting trip from our hunter-cooperators is the date, hours hunted, county or region of the state hunted, the number of turkeys seen, the number of gobblers heard, and the number of gobblers killed.
The hours of hunting effort per turkey observed is used as an index of the hunting population. The correlation between this index and the production index is used in evaluating annual production and resulting hunting season populations.
Hunt information in usable form was supplied by 467 of the 2,000 hunters contacted in 2007. They reported making 4,904 trips totaling 16,946 hunting hours. The season hunting effort per cooperator was 10.5 trips totaling 36.3 hours. This is a slight increase from the 2006 season average effort and the 5-year average (10.2 trips and 36.1 hours).
A total of 10,511 turkeys (hens and gobblers) were seen. The 2007 statewide population index of 1.6 hunting hours per turkey seen was 11% greater than in both 2006 and for the last 5 years average (1.8), which is very good, judging from the 29 years surveyed. The lowest effort per bird seen was in the Ridge and Valley, Lower and Upper Coastal Plain counties.
Cooperators reported hearing 8,083 gobblers. The hours of hunting per gobbler heard averaged 2.1 hours. The effort per gobbler heard was least in Lower and Upper Coastal Plains and highest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Peak gobbling activity, 3.0 gobblers heard per trip, occurred during the first weekend (March 24-25) of the season.
The statewide harvest during the first seven days of the 2007 season accounted for 36% of the total season harvest. The average amount of hunting effort to kill a gobbler, 23.1 hours, decreased by 2 hours from 2006 (26) and 3.5 hours from the 5-year average (26.6). Statewide hunter success declined slightly to 67.9% with 317 of the 467 cooperators taking at least one bird and was down slightly from the 5-year average (69.2%). Of these, 115 (24.6%) hunters took or assisted in taking one bird, 87 (17.3%) took or assisted in taking two birds, and 115 (24.6%) took or assisted in taking three birds. Cooperators reported 194 gobblers killed by companions.
2008 Season Forecast
According to a post-season telephone survey, Georgia's estimated 48,459 resident turkey hunters had another good spring season in 2007, harvesting about 23,655 gobblers statewide. The average harvest per hunter (0.49 turkeys) was around 22% lower than in 2006 and 17% lower than the previous 5 years averaged. However, of the turkey hunters surveyed after the season, 69% still rated the turkey hunting good or excellent, while only 11% rated it as poor. Across the state the 2008 spring season should be respectable, but likely down from past years harvests levels, as consistently low reproduction (record low in Summer 2007) for the past few years, extreme statewide drought, the late freeze in north Georgia, wildfires in south Georgia, and additional habitat losses may add up to fewer gobblers available for hunters.
Overall the states turkey population is still good, but in need of a few years of better reproduction and more of an emphasis on good brooding and nesting habitat across the landscape. Hopefully, the extreme drought will break soon, reproduction will rebound and the future will remain bright for Georgias number one game bird. Good luck and good hunting!

The ever chugging train of Barack Obama continued puffing along as the Illinois Senator swept through three more states on his road to the Democratic convention. He gained an easy victory over Clinton in Nebraska by 68% to 32% and in Washington by 68% to 31% while his margin of victory in Louisiana was 57% to 37%. It is expected he will do well in Maine and should easily gain victory in Tuesday's eelction in Washington D.C. was well as in Maryland and Viginia. An interesting facet of his victories is the manner in which his name brings out more voters, there were twice as many voting in Nebraska this year as in 2004. The latest AP count indicates Obama may be slightly ahead in delegate support.
Some Democratic analysts worry the Clinton-Obama struggle will undermine their chances for victory in November. They express concern over expenditue of money, time, and energy while John McCain can sit calmly by and work at raising funds. We beg to differ with this view. Obama and Clinton are energizing Demcorats to come out and vote. They are stirring emotions, passions, and keeping their names in the everyday headlines. The end result will be greater momentum going into fall elections.
The real issue is what happens at the convention. Obama is gaining triumph in more states while Clinton wins the larger ones. Reality is those large states will vote Democratic regardless of whether Clinton or Obama is on the ballot. The more they fight with one another, the greater will be the vote count in November.
In the meantime, John McCain got whipped soundly by Huckabee in Kansas. McCain might well suffer from inaction in terms of having a public forum.

1. Pike Place Fish Market, Seattle, Washington
Now that New York's Fulton Fish Market has moved from its longtime Manhattan home to a warehouselike building in the Bronx, Pike Place can claim undisputed status as the nation's most colorful seafood market. It's also the most fun. The fish fly here, hurled through the air by employees. So do the jokes, though the shop is serious about its seafood and will ship almost everything it sells for next-day delivery. Other attractions at the 9-acre Pike Place Market include Washington wines and the original Starbucks; 800/542-7732 or pikeplacefish.com.
2. Browne Trading Company, Portland, Maine
This old, family-run business has acquired some recent dazzle through its association with such celebrity chefs as Daniel Boulud of New York City's Daniel restaurant. The market offers a wide range of caviars, plus smoked seafood, fish from around the world, and the usual favorites―lobster, cod, clams, and the like. Patrons can shop via phone or online. Or they can do what many chefs prefer: Head to Merrill's Wharf in the Old Port area of Portland and pick out what looks most appealing; 800/944-7848 or browne-trading.com.
3. Joe Patti's Seafood Co., Pensacola, Florida
Since its 1931 beginnings on Joe and Anna Patti's back porch, this seafood shop has grown into a sprawling waterfront institution. Joe Patti's has changed with the times, adding delectable extras such as a sushi bar and Anna Patti's Amangiari Gourmet Shop, plus online ordering and overnight shipping. Still, the huge selection of terrific seafood remains its primary appeal. The extended Patti family runs the place with an emphasis on neighborly service; 800/500-9929 or joepattis.com.
4. Lexington Market, Baltimore, Maryland
Some call it the home of the world's best crab cakes. At the risk of starting an argument, we're inclined to agree. Lexington Market, like the rest of downtown Baltimore, has seen palmier days since its founding in 1782. But it retains an undeniable energy as diverse cuisines jostle for attention; 410/685-6169 or lexingtonmarket.com.
Among the market's six seafood purveyors, Faidley Seafood stands out for its legendary lump crab cakes, best enjoyed immediately, while standing at the worn counters. For those forced by geography into delayed gratification, Faidley's ships; 410/727-4898 or faidleyscrabcakes.com.
5. Sun Fat Seafood Co., San Francisco, California
Sun Fat, in the Mission District, draws raves for its helpful employees. They patiently explain not only what's what, but also how to cook it. They'll even cut up your choices for you; 415/282-9339.
Honorable mention goes to Ferry Plaza Seafood, in the Ferry Building Marketplace. Though the seafood selection is limited, the views of San Francisco Bay are expansive; 415/274-2561 or ferryplazaseafood.com.6. Keys Fisheries Market and Marina, Marathon, Florida
7. Fisherman's Express, Anchorage, Alaska
This market, founded and operated by a former commercial crab fisherman, specializes in Alaskan king crab. It also sells such other Alaskan specialties as halibut cheeks―all wild, not farm-raised. Browsers can visit the shop in downtown Anchorage or on the Web site, which includes photo galleries depicting fearsome-looking crabs and the unbelievably harsh conditions that crabbers endure to harvest them; 888/926-3474 or fishermansexpress.com.
8. B & A Seafood, Port Isabel, Texas
B & A specializes in fish and shellfish straight from the Gulf of Mexico―again, wild rather than farm-raised. The name of the Web site, freshtexasshrimp.com, hints at the biggest seller, especially to vacationers enjoying South Padre Island and other nearby resort areas. For those who are too hungry to wait, or who prefer to let someone else do the cooking, B & A recently opened the Harbor View Restaurant. The company also ships; call 956/943-2461 or visit freshtexasshrimp.com.
9. Lighthouse Deli & Fish Company, South Beach, Oregon
Lighthouse Deli sits just south of the elegant arches of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, which connects to Newport. The deli rose to prominence in 1994, when Portland's Oregonian newspaper declared it the purveyor of the best fish-and-chips on the Oregon coast. In 2001, Coastal Living included it in our annual roundup of great seafood dives. In addition to being a great casual restaurant, this slightly ramshackle place also sells a great selection of locally caught seafood, both on premises and through the Web site. The name comes from the Yaquina Bay and Yaquina Head lighthouses, each practically within swimming distance; 866/816-7716 or lighthousedeli.com.
10. Empire Fish, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Wisconsin restaurants have long depended on Empire Fish, which has been selling seafood since 1913. The retail store lets consumers choose from the same fish, shellfish, and other goodies that are available to chefs. The selection spans both Great Lakes waters and distant seas. Unfortunately for those who don't live in Milwaukee, you have to visit the store. Empire Fish does not ship; 414/259-1330 or empirefish.com.

"I was worried about ordering invitations online. I like that TinyPrints offered a review for free. I ordered a pretty basic invitation, without any of the extra options, but I was happy with the quality. The invitations looked much more polished than cheap write-in invites, for a comparable price. I like that the design was gender-neutral, but still cheery and not boring. I will use TinyPrints next time I need invitations."
"Great quality, adorable soft/sweet invitation for a baby shower. I got great feedback from so many who received this invite from me."
"Item selection was easy. The actual product looks exactly like the proof. Delivery was on time and exactly what I ordered. I'm glad I ordered extra envelopes they came in handy when I spelled names wrong. I would order again for another event."
"The invitations were adorable and sweet. We received many comments from our guests. The thickness and weight of the card were exactly what I wanted not flimsy and light. I received my order within few days. I would recommend this product to you. You won't be disappointed."
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."

A casual stroll through the local department store to purchase a new wardrobe has become a bidding war waged online at various e-auction sites. Grocery shopping has become a snap, or rather a click, with e-grocers capable of delivering your groceries right to your front door. Vacation planning has never been more simple using online sites dedicated to finding you the lowest airfare, least expensive hotel, and best package deals on entertainment attractions. In addition, when you go to the airport for departure, you can use your e-ticket at the computer kiosk to avoid spending extended quality time with the ticketing agent.
Not that long ago, our office was still using paper-based statements and insurance claims. Everything ran fairly smoothly, but it was a very time-consuming process to print, stuff, and stamp statements and envelopes. The office staff's time would be better spent doing other things. We did statements twice a month, and it took about 4 hours each time. The office staff enjoyed handwriting notes on the statements-adding a personal touch, but the time it took to accomplish this task was much too long.
After we learned about some of the eBusiness options available to us from a statement perspective through our practice management software provider (we use Patterson EagleSoft, but there are many vendors offering similar eBusiness solutions), the staff discussed going to electronic processing of statements. We really liked the ease of electronic insurance claims and thought we should investigate the ease of use for utilizing eStatement. We have been sending our claims electronically for years. The turn-around time on electronic claims is much faster than by mail, so we decided it was the appropriate time to make the switch to eStatements.
Our office manager was the real driving force behind the switch, and our office is running even more smoothly and efficiently than it ever has, thanks to eStatements and eClaims.
The statements look so much more professional than before, so it is to our benefit to use them. Let's face it-we are running a business here, and the statements should reflect what we're trying to accomplish. Of course, you can still add a personal note if you want, or print the statements you want to personalize and send them out from the office. You also can add your own message that will print on all statements over a certain age.
Some people still seem to worry that computerization of the workplace means they'll be out of a job before they know it or that they'll start losing the physical control they have with paper-based claims and statements. Neither of these statements is true. First, you won't be out of a job, but you will be more efficient in the job you are doing! By sending everything electronically, our office staff actually has more time to follow up on past due accounts and claims that are older than 30 days. The extra time also is used for phone calls to accounts that need calling and going through charts to reach out to some of the inactive patients to see if we can get them back into the office.

I know in a couple of weeks I will have to reduce the size of the hive down to two boxes, so my question is how should I arrange this?
Is there some sort of order to wintering frames. I just assume its like in the spring?
The hives will also be in my hive hut, so I'm not sure what effect that will have on the hives, colder because of no sun exposure, or warmer from a wind break effect. Thanks for the info.
At what tempature range would be cold enough that the bees would stop feeding on sugar water provided?What is the estimated/average sugar water intake for winter feeding?Is the starting of winter feeding gauged by the date of the first frost in the area you live? Basically do you start feeding #days/#weeks before the expected frost date? Thankyou! Ken
my #1 beekeeper said that at least 14kg per hive starting in mid august, 1.st september at last. if you mix 1:1, you get from 1 l and 1 kg exactly 1,5l of syrup. you do the rest of the math:my menthor told me to start feeding (a little, just to keep "pedal to the metal") with 1. august and to feed aprox. 10kg per hive.
Mici, you live quite south from me. I suppose that your summers ends 1,5 months later than here. It depends are you on mountains.Here those who use excluder and they pull all honey from hives at the beginning of August they feed at once hives because hive have no stores. They press hive to wintering position. They too have hundreds of hives and they must begin early because it takes weeks to go through all hives.

Ben from MO asks:
I just got an iPad! Can you please posts some tips about iOS stuff?
So you've just recently unpacked your shiny new iPad, fiddled with the touch screen a bit, and tossed a few Angry Birds. In fact, you've downloaded a few different apps, even loaded up some of the pre-installed ones too, and in doing so have come up with a few nagging questions about iOS which Apple does not seem to readily answer via an instruction manual or even a simple cheat sheet. Luckily, you need not worry any longer as here you will find a variety of tips, tricks, and handy how to's to reduce your iOS frustrations.
Note: While the following tips primarily reference iOS 4.x running on the iPad 2, most are performed in a similar manner in Apple's iPhone/iPod touch range of products.
Securing your iPad with Passcode Lock
Before you even consider downloading Angry Birds to your iPad, make sure you properly protect your devices' data by turning on the Passcode Lock feature. Passcode Lock forces your iPad to request a numerical passcode when the device is powered on or woken from sleep mode. To set and enable Passcode Lock, follow these Steps:
Step 1. Open the iOS general settings by tapping the "Settings" icon.
Step 2. Under the left most "Settings" frame tap "General." The right most frame will show your devices' "General" options.
Step 3. In the "General" options frame, tap "Passcode Lock."
Step 4. The right most frame will update to show the "Passcode Lock" options. Tap the very first option available: "Turn Passcode On." The "Set Passcode" dialog will appear.
Step 5. Enter your 4 digit passcode on the keypad, confirm when prompted, and you're done.
Your iPad will now require the entered passcode upon starting / waking up.
Those who wish to have an extra level of security will also want to consider the following two options: "Simple Passcode" and "Erase Data."
Setting "Simple Passcode" to "OFF" will allow you to set a more secure passcode longer than 4 digits, while setting "Erase Data" to "ON" will instruct iOS to delete all data on your device if an incorrect passcode is entered ten times in a row.
Once your Passcode Lock settings have been set, you will now be prompted by the "Enter Passcode" dialog upon powering on or waking up your iPad.
Organizing your App icons
Once you start downloading apps and games to your iPad you will probably notice your home screen becoming full of App icons, all placed in the order in which you downloaded them to your iPad. Just like file shortcuts and icons on a Windows desktop, finding the icon you need on your iPad Home Screen when there are tens, if not hundreds, of them in no particular order can be a very frustrating experience. Luckily, there are a few methods within iOS to get your icons properly organized:
Reordering Icons on Your Home Screen
To change the order in which your icons appear on your Home Screen, follow these Steps:
Step 1. Tap and hold any of your Home Screen icons until they begin to wiggle.
Step 2. Tap and drag the icon you wish to move to the side of the nearest icon which you would like it placed. Any nearby icons on that line will move themselves out of the way to accommodate the icon you are dragging.
Note: If you have many icons spread across multiple screens, drag the icon you wish to move to the side of the screen and hold it there until the screen display changes to the screen you wish to place your icon on.
Step 3. Let go of your icon to place it in its new position. Repeat as needed until all your icons are in order.
Step 4. Once you have your icons in order, press the home button once to exit the Home Screen icon "wiggle" and set your icons in their new order.
Changing the icons on your Dock
For quick access to those Apps which you use frequently, you may want to consider placing them right on the Dock:
Step 1. Follow Steps 1 through 3 above, but drag you icon(s) to the Dock instead of the Home Screen.
By Default you will only have two free spaces to place icons in your Dock, for a total of six docked icons; however you may free up icon spaces from your dock by removing them:
Step 2. To remove items from the Dock, drag a wiggling docked icon from the Dock up above your Home Screen, and let go. The icon will fall onto your Home Screen, freeing up a slot on your Dock.
That's all the space we have for now, but stay tuned for more tips in iPad / iOS Basics Part 2!
