'It is difficult to believe that Woolley wasn't good enough to play for hapless Buffalo, but apparently is good enough to help the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings. And couldn't Buffalo general manager Darcy Regier have obtained a player from Detroit's red-hot AHL Grand Rapids Griffins (8-0-2 in a 10-game unbeaten streak) for the Rochester Americans?'

Being a bully on the football field isn't quite the same as being a dirty player. There are similarities. Both stretch the bounds of what the rules allow. A dirty player will take handfuls of jersey, inconspicuous kicks or punches when they believe they can get away with it.The difference is a bully doesn't worry about where the boundaries of the rules end. They do their business in the open, saying this could happen to you if you enter into my neighborhood, even if it isn't always within the rules. The intimidation factor, in some cases, fills in for lack of talent. They can also be as dangerous to their teammates as they are to their opponents.With that in mind here are 10 of the biggest bullies in NFL history.Richie Incognito, Guard; St. Louis Rams 2006-2009, Buffalo Bills 2009, Miami Dolphins 2010-2013No matter how the incident between Incognito and Jonathan Martin is resolved there is no doubt that he's earned his reputation for being undisciplined and emotionally out of control.Publically, Incognito's troubles began in 2002, his freshman season at Nebraska. He instigated fights with teammates and spat at opponents. He caused one teammate to walk off the field when he plowed his back during practice.His conviction for misdemeanor assault and two suspensions from the football team led him to transfer to Oregon in 2004. They let him go before he attended his first practice.He was picked in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Rams and brought his personal baggage with him to St. Louis. In his four seasons with the Rams he was flagged for seven personal fouls, more than any other player in the league during that time. The final two, a pair of head-butting penalties, sealed his release from the Rams in 2009.That same year, in a poll of 99 players by The Sporting News he was voted the NFL's dirtiest player.Now the issue is whether Incognito will be able to continue his NFL career. It's not only the matter of whether he will be cleared to play but whether any team is willing to take on his personality as the price for his genuine talent.Brandon Meriweather, Safety; New England Patriots 2007-2010, Chicago Bears 2011, Washington Redskins 2012-2013Meriweather's logo could be too helmets crashing together over a yellow flag. When he's on the field opposing receivers know their world can explode at any time if Mariweather is in the neighborhood.He's on his third team in his seventh season because the positives he brings to the field don't make up for the loss of yardage his personal fouls bring.Now receivers will have to watch out for their knees. After a one game suspension earlier this season Meriweather announced that, "I guess I've just got to take people's knees out. I'd hate to end a guy's career over a rule, but I guess it's better (for something to happen to) other people than me getting suspended for longer."One trademark of a bully, it's never them. It's everyone else who creates the issues.James Harrison, Linebacker; Pittsburgh Steelers 2002-2012, Cincinnati Bengals 2013In 2012, an ESPN poll asked NFL Players who was the most violent and dangerous in the league, Harrison was the overwhelming winner with 67.5 percent of the vote.Harrison struggled to establish himself in the NFL but when he arrived he made sure everyone knew it, particularly commissioner Roger Goodell.In 2010 Harrison was fined a total of $125,000 in 2010, $75,000 of that for a hit against the Browns' Mohamed Massaquoi. He gave an encore of that hit in 2011 when a violent helmet to facemask hit on Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.The sad part about Harrison's incidents is he has never taken any accountability for any of the hits he's been flagged for. He's never made an illegal hit, it's the referees and Goodell who are the problem.George Trafton, Center; Chicago Staleys/Bears 1920-1921, 1923-1932George Trafton was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1964. He is widely credited as being the first center in NFL history to snap the ball with one hand. He also wasn't afraid to take on anyone, on or off the field. As Red Grange once described him he was, "the toughest, meanest, most ornery critter alive."One writer noted that Trafton was strongly disliked in every city in the NFL except Green Bay and Rock Island. In those two places, "He was hated."In one 1920 game against Rock Island he knocked out four players in the space of 12 plays while fans yelled threats at him from the stands. He also hit a Rock Island halfback, knocking him against a nearby fence, breaking his leg.The second the game was over he sprinted past the Bears' bench, grabbed a sweatshirt to hide his uniform and dashed for the exit. Trafton jumped into a cab but leapt out when rocks came crashing through the windows and raced away on foot.The next time the Bears played in Rock Island George Halas let him carry the $7,000 game share back to Chicago. He said, "I knew that if trouble came Trafton would be running for his life. I would only be running for the $7,000.Jack Tatum, Safety; Oakland Raiders 1971-1979, Houston Oilers 1980Any player who could bear the nickname "The Assassin" with pride cannot be ignored when compiling a list of NFL bullies. While a majority of his signature hits would be illegal in today's NFL they were within the rules in Tatum's day which makes him less a dirty player and more a scary one. His reputation as one of the hardest hitters in the NFL had every receiver cutting across the middle of the field looking over their shoulder.The first of Tatum's signature incidents came in Super Bowl XI against the Minnesota Vikings. Sammy White caught a ball coming across the middle when Tatum collided head-to-head with him, sending his helmet flying five yards away.The hit Tatum was most vilified for came in a 1978 preseason game against the New England Patriots. As wide receiver Darryl Stingley leapt to catch a pass Tatum drilled him. Stingley landed with two broken vertebrae and was paralyzed for the rest of his life.After his career Tatum wrote three books, They Call Me Assassin in 1980, They Still Call Me Assassin: Here We Go Again in 1989 and Final Confessions of an NFL Assassin in 1996.Doug Atkins, Defensive End; Cleveland Browns 1953-1954, Chicago Bears 1955-1966, New Orleans Saints 1967-1969Doug Atkins is considered a prototype for the defensive end position and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982. He was also one of the most feared players of his time. Dick Butkus, Atkins teammate for two seasons, said Atkins was the only player he was afraid of.Today Atkins would likely be labeled as a bully but back in his playing days he was considered "colorful". Also, quite a bit of what took place with Atkins off the field never became public.One story that came out later was his arrivals at training camps with two .44-caliber Magnums, several derringers and a shotgun. In New Orleans he once scared a group of rookies by firing a gun into the overhang outside their window. "I needed my sleep," Atkins said. "I was old. I came in at curfew and needed to rest up. They wanted to keep that music playing so I just quieted them down."Atkins also said, "A lot of those stories have grown. I think people just like to add to them. I didn't even always have live ammunition in those guns. A lot of times I was firing blanks."Albert Haynesworth, Defensive Tackle; Tennessee Titans 2002-2008, Washington Redskins 2009-2010, New England Patriots 2011, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2011Haynesworth was drafted No. 15 overall in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Titans and it didn't take long for them to see what they were getting.In Haynesworth's first training camp he kicked center Justin Hartwig in the chest and had to be restrained by his teammates. That foreshadowed what was to come.In 2006 in a game against the Cowboys Haynesworth removed center Andre Gurode's helmet and stomped down on his head. He opened up a gash on Gurode's forehead but fortunately just missed his eye. Haynesworth was penalized 15-yards for the personal foul and when he threw his helmet on the field in disgust he was ejected from the game and the Titans were penalized another 15-yards. Haynesworth was suspended five games for that incident.The unfortunate part of Haynesworth's career was he was a player with a world of talent but could never control his emotions well enough to make use of it.Ndamukong Suh, Defensive Tackle; Detroit Lions 2010-2013Suh was the second overall pick by the Lions in the 2010 NFL Draft. The two incidents Suh is most notorious for happened in consecutive Thanksgiving Day games.Against the Packers in 2011, early in the third quarter at the end of a third down play, Suh pushed guard Evan Dietrich-Smith's head into the artificial turf then stomped on his right shoulder as he was pulled away. He was ejected from the game then suspended for two games by the league.On Thanksgiving Day in 2012 against the Texans, Suh was pulled to the turf in front of Matt Schaub. As he rolled he struck out with his left foot, connecting with Schaub in "the groin". Suh claimed the kick was inadvertent but the NFL disagreed to the tune of $30,000.Suh has been overwhelmingly voted as the NFL's Dirtiest Player in a poll of players by the Sporting News in both 2011 and 2012 and may have set himself as the early favorite in 2013 after a $100,000 fine for his low hit against the Vikings' John Sullivan.Conrad Dobler, Guard; St. Louis Cardinals 1972-1977, New Orleans Saints 1978-1979, Buffalo Bills 1980-1981Dobler was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the fifth round of the 1972 NFL Draft but was waived at the end of the preseason. When he was re-signed he decided to do whatever it took to make sure he stayed.Whatever it took became spitting in defensive lineman's faces, head slaps, biting, eye gouging and more. If his opponent got his hands in the air Dobler would deliver punches up under his chest padding into the solar plexus. He mastered the "leg whip" for when he was on the ground and still needed to stop a defender.Tom Banks, the center on those Cardinals' teams, said one time he saw Dobler make a defender cry on the field.In their July 25, 1977 issue, Sports Illustrated named Dobler the dirtiest player in pro football. When he wrote his autobiography he titled it "They Call Me Dirty".Dobler had many feuds with defensive tackles throughout the league but the Rams' Merlin Olsen was able to get the last word in theirs. On his "Father Murphy" television series, during a funeral scene at a cemetery, the only name visible on the tombstones behind Olsen was "Conrad Dobler."Bill Romanowski, Linebacker; San Francisco 49ers 1988-1993, Philadelphia Eagles 1994-1995, Denver Broncos 1996-2001, Oakland Raiders 2002-2003Whether deserved or not, Bill Romanowski became the NFL's poster boy for the effects of 'roid rage on football players. What is deserved is his reputation as a violent player who intimidated others through fear throughout his career.Among smaller incidents, there were the two that earned Romanowski national notoriety, in a December 15, 1997 Monday Night Football Game, he spit in the face of San Francisco 49ers' receiver J.J. Stokes. That incident, occurring on prime time television, made him the target of outrage across the nation and earned him a $75,000 fine from the NFL.During training camp in 2003, after tight end Marcus Williams blocked Romanowski on a play in practice he grabbed Williams by the jersey, ripped his helmet off and punched him in the face, breaking Williams' left orbital bone and chipping a tooth. Williams was awarded a total of $415,000 in a civil suit against Romanowski but never played in the NFL again.After his playing career Romanowski made the news again when, on an October 16, 2005 episode of 60 Minutes he admitted to using steroids and human growth hormone supplied to him by BALCO's Victor Conte.Follow me on Twitter @tjpollin so we can talk football and also "Like" my Facebook page, Football From Adderly to Zimmerman (A to Z) to read more of my articles, leave comments and read other writers covering the NFL.

While genetic engineering is a pervasive affront to the wildness that surrounds us, humans have manipulated Mother Nature's bounty for some time. In particular, we've developed a talent for cultivating and mixing the nearest and dearest elements of the natural world: our food. Crossing different varieties of crops and livestock has long been used to create hybrid flora and fauna that better meets our needs, suits our tastes and fills our stomachs (and wallets).
How do these subtle changes in color, texture and yield affect the other members of the ecosystem? Could an innocuous supermarket salmon steak really impact anything other than your gut? You be the judge.
*The following was adapted from "Behind That Farmed Salmon Steak," by Seth Zuckerman, in Salmon Nation: People and Fish at the Edge (Ecotrust, 1999; Edward C. Wolf and Seth Zuckerman, editors).
The sight of a whole salmon in the supermarket conjures up the feral power of these fish, which range the high seas for years until they zero in on their home river for the final chapter of their lives. They evade sea lions and grizzly bears, leap cascades and waterfalls, and couple in streams too small to contain their robust bodies. Ingest a morsel of this fish, the word "salmon" seems to promise, and it will imbue you with some of that wild strength and perseverance.
But if you eat salmon these days, you may well be consuming a product that's no wilder than a grain-fed steer. A glut of farmed salmon - amounting to roughly half of the world's supply - has flooded the market from fish feedlots around the globe. These factory farms consist of mesh pens anchored in cold-water bays and inlets in places such as Norway, Scotland, Chile, Washington State and British Columbia. The ingredients in the salmon they produce are quite different from what goes into their free-ranging cousins captured by nets or hooks.
In captivity, salmon are raised on a diet of oily brown fishmeal pellets made from inexpensive fish such as anchovetas, sardines and mackerel. Raising each pound of farmed salmon takes four pounds of those smaller fish, in effect wasting three-quarters of the catch that is processed into fishmeal. In this way, B.C. farms alone account for a loss of nearly 90 thousand tons of edible protein each year. Wild salmon flesh gets its color from the fish's prey, particularly krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans. But the fishmeal pellets turn the flesh of farmed salmon a pale gray. Fish farmers know that gray salmon won't sell well, so they add dye to their feed. And because salmon are natural-born predators, smaller native fish (including juvenile wild salmon) that stray into the farms don't stand a chance. Salmon farmers notice that when native oolichan (minnow-sized smelt that are important to indigenous people's diets) pass by the pens, the salmon stop eating their fishmeal pellets but "mysteriously" continue to gain weight.
Farmed fish are so densely confined that a typical one-pound Atlantic salmon is within fifteen inches of its neighbors. Diseases can spread rapidly through such packed quarters, so the fish are fed antibiotics, just like most domestic chicken or cattle. About 30 percent of the medicated feed goes uneaten; from uncontained net pens it enters the sea's food chain, where it has been found to kill natural marine algae and bacteria and cause deformities in halibut larvae. Nonetheless, the farmed fish still contract infections and are attacked by parasites. Wild stocks pick up those diseases in two ways - either from escapees, or as they pass by the fish farms en route to their spawning streams. Norwegian authorities have poisoned 24 rivers with rotenone - which kills all aquatic life - in an attempt to eradicate sea lice and a lesion-causing disease spread there by farmed salmon.
The excrement from one large B.C. fish farm equals the sewage of a city of 10,000 people - all of it flowing straight into the surrounding waters, fouling nearby clam beds and other sea habitat, at too high a concentration to be assimilated easily by natural forces. Salmon excreta are one reason that environmental activists are pushing for fish to be raised only in closed-containment systems, allowing the wastes to be treated before being discharged into the water.
Atlantic salmon have become a favorite of West Coast fish farmers, in part because they can be raised at higher densities than native chinook. These fish frequently escape from their pens into the wild. In 1997, one Washington State farm lost 360,000 Atlantic salmon in a single incident. Alien Atlantic salmon have been found to spawn successfully in Vancouver Island streams, and fishery advocates are concerned that they will compete with threatened populations of native Pacific salmon.
Instead of conjuring wildness, these farmed fish are subverting it - fouling the waters, harming native fish, and demanding that oceans be strip-mined of cheap sardines to feed aquatic livestock. But it gets worse: feedlot owners want to introduce a strain of Atlantic salmon that has been genetically engineered to mature in 18 months, half the time now needed. Some of these "Frankenfish" would escape and probably displace slower-growing wild salmon from their native streams. In time, instead of evoking the wild, salmon might come to mean destructively raised protein in a faux-wild package. The gonzo growth gene that has been spliced into the salmon distances us further from an era when fish were wild, and cooling off in the summer meant a dip in the lake, not cranking up the air-conditioner. There comes a time to decide we have strayed too far, and, like the salmon, to find our way home.

Southampton - newly promoted to the Premier League - kick things off against Anderlecht at 5.15pm.
The opening match will be followed by a procession of the Olympic torch around the stadium, before the Gunners face Anderlecht at 6.45pm.
Arsenal will then play the Saints at 8pm to bring the competition to a close.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Born: December 23, 1993
Position: Striker
Lightning-quick forward Nigel Neita's call-up to the full Jamaica squad came as a welcome surprise - and demonstrated how much he progressed last season.
The striker made 22 appearances for Steve Bould's youth team - often on the left flank - before making inroads into the reserves with three substitute appearances.
Born in London, Nigel was originally part of the Millwall set-up before joining Arsenal. He signed his first professional contract with the Club on the eve of the 2010/11 campaign.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

might be an issue with American Apparel, who might have sponsored it. Woot just quit using their shirt blanks, for the most part.
As the site isn't run by woot, you might have better luck contacting them directly and asking. (I don't have any contact information for them, although someone on the forum might?)
BluChez is the wooter who maintains Shirt.What.
Scratch that,
Here's BluChez' statement
So with the new site, any hope to get the updates going again?
Any shirt what updates? I love that site and it has been lagging of late.

As mentioned above, the company that was Hosting shirtwhat (it's not a WOOT site) was getting upset by the volume of traffic he was using keeping the updates LIVE, so he's scaled back to once a week updates.
Data is there ( or was before the REboot here) but it's running 3-5 days behind real time now.

Gifted Testing Services
A true Gifted Testing Service is not a one-size-fits-all operation. While many psychologists are happy to administer an IQ test which can be used to qualify your child for the Academically Gifted Program, the psychologists at Rice Psychology Group offer complete Gifted Testing and Gifted Program admission consulting services which goes far beyond a one time test administration.
The first step is to schedule a phone consultation where our office manager or one of our psychologists can learn about your child's strengths and relative weaknesses. This initial consultation may include questions such as:
- What are your child's favorite games?
- What types of games or activities is your child good at?
- In what areas does your child excel at school?
- Is your child more of a visual or verbal learner?
- Does your child excel at memory games?
- Does your child excel at timed activities?
- Is your child good at working with blocks or Leggos?
- Are there any attention or focus issues we need to be concerned about, or does your child currently have an ADHD diagnosis?
- Is your child color blind?
- Is your child anxious about taking tests? What might make your child feel more at ease about the testing process?
- Has your child been tested before, and if so by what test?
Once we have learned about your child's strengths and weaknesses, a test can be recommended. The day of the test administration, make sure your child has a good breakfast and gets plenty of rest the night before. It can help to get the child psyched up for the test by setting the expectation that they are very bright and will do very, very well on the assessment. Depending on your child's anxiety about tests, it can be helpful to explain the purpose of the Assessment. We can also make recommendations on how to introduce the testing process with your child.
If your child makes the minimum cutoff for the Academically Gifted Program, the doctor who administered the testing will provide a recommendation letter along with two signed copies of the test administration.
If for some reason your child does not make the minimum cutoff, the psychologist will replace the recommendation letter with an analysis of factors that might have contributed to the lower score, and what might be done to improve the child's test taking abilities (if applicable). There are workbooks available to improve a child's test taking abilities and critical thinking skills.
Finally, if your child's score is just not within the range where it is likely a retest would result in a qualifying score, we will recommended ways you might supplement the child's education at home.
For pricing packages or to schedule an appointment, please call (813) 969-3878.

Arsenal face Montpellier in their first match in Champions League Group B on Tuesday night.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
Gervinho has spent the majority of his Arsenal career on the flanks, and before Saturday's match against Southampton had contributed four goals. But against Nigel Adkins' side the Ivorian was handed his chance through the middle of the attacking trio, and responded with a superb performance and two goals.
Only time will tell if he has done enough to convince Arsène Wenger to play him as a central striker on a more regular basis, but his display against Southampton (Fig. 1) suggests he deserves the opportunity. Gervinho was at the heart of the action throughout the afternoon, and had 48 touches of the ball, winning 33.3 per cent of his duels. Not only that, but the Ivorian scored with two of his four shots on goal.
In contrast, he was stationed on the right flank against Stoke (Fig. 2) and had less freedom to roam. As a result he was less influential, touching the ball 40 times and only winning 14.3 per cent of his duels. He had one shot on goal, but it was off target.
Gervinho may have been a surprise choice to take the central striking role, but his eye-catching performance against Southampton means he is now a viable alternative up front for the Gunners this season.
Figure 1 - Gervinho v Southampton Figure 2 - Gervinho v Stoke
Key: Ball = goal; Green = pass; Red = cross/shot Key: Green = pass; Red = cross/shot
Wojciech Szczesny's ankle injury means that Vito Mannone returns in goal for Arsenal at the Stade de la Mosson on Tuesday night - and he is yet to concede a goal this season.
The Italian was tipped by some for a summer departure, but a month into the new campaign he is still at the Club and has flourished. Szczesny was Arsenal's undisputed No 1 last season, but after sustaining a rib injury Mannone was drafted in for the games against Stoke and Liverpool and was unflappable.
As our player comparison (below) shows, there is little to choose between the two goalkeepers this season, and Wenger will feel confident that his team are in safe hands with Mannone between the posts.

That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

at Truckee Hot Yoga we offer BIKRAM YOGA
what is bikram yoga?
Make no mistake: Bikram yoga is toasty! The style is practiced in a room well above body temperature (approx. 40.6 degrees Celsius or 105 degrees Fahrenheit); in other words, if you didn't know your shins and elbows had sweat glands, you're about to find out. Bikram yoga aims to increase general health, and students of this style believe that a heated room will help drive a deeper stretch while preventing injury. Bikram consists of a set of 26 poses and two breathing exercises.
Bikram yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury, who was born in Calcutta in 1946 and started practicing yoga at four years old under Bishnu Ghosh. At 17, Choudhury suffered a knee injury that led European doctors to believe that he would never walk again, but yoga healed his knee and inspired him to found Bikram Yoga and take it to communities around the world.
Some of the benefits students of Bikram yoga enjoy include enhanced flexibility, successful recovery from injury (due to deep stretching), and the endless flushing of toxins due to increased perspiration.
good for beginners?
The heat can be intense, however after a few classes it becomes a warm and welcoming sensation; after feeling some of the benefits of heated studios, students come to appreciate the temperature. Bikram is a great place for beginners to push themselves – just remember to stay hydrated before and during class.
what to wear
Next to nothing…or anything that feels like nothing, that is. Clothing that breathes and is moisture wicking is ideal, and anything with mesh and extra venting will also be your best friend in the heat. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of cotton and other fabrics that will hold sweat and weigh you down; there is no reason to create more heat for yourself. Form-fitting clothing will help avoid restriction in postures and keep you from feeling sticky
what to bring
Water! Drink plenty of water before practice, during practice, and yup, you guessed it: tons of water after practice. Hydration is very important in Bikram yoga to avoid dizziness and to give you a break from the heat. There is a small $2.00 mat/towel fee but you can also bring your own.
what to expect
Expect to sweat from all angles – even places you didn't know existed. Expect a full class, and every kind of yogi under the sun, from curious beginners to advanced students who practice daily. Don't feel pressure to do all 26 poses; rest when you need to and listen to your body.

text: Had a open air hive dumped by a neighbors dead end street in a cardboard box. It has all its workers & looks like a queen as 3day open larvae in the basketball bridged combed hive. Most comb is light tan & white & trying to cut it out would most likely crumple much comb & consequently brood & maybe queen. Pruned as much of the branches off & put in middle of friends deep lang w/ some foundationed frames either side then put on roof. I can forsee much comb being built under lid & the ball of the hive being bridged in odd ways to the deep foundationed frames. Was hoping to, when bees move to lang frames, move drarn out frames w/ queen to new box below & place open air hive ball of comb above w/ a queen excluder below to hopefully have the olde open air hive become the honey area. Has anyone tried this w/ any success? As always an adventure in beekeeping. Citrus popping much this week. Just lured in 2 swarms this week in olde equipment, a friend lured one in as well. Swarm season in full swing in southern California.Cheers, Apis M R

Video: Star of Bethlehem?
posted at 8:52 am on January 16, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
This documentary from Hollywood producer Stephen McEveety (Stoning of Soraya M, Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ) isn't exactly new, but it's new to me. Filmed in 2008, a slightly shortened version aired on EWTN earlier this month, and it impressed me enough to buy the DVD. An amateur astronomer decided to take a look back at the skies during biblical times — which turns out to be a lot easier in the age of powerful computers than one might think — to see if there were natural explanations for New Testament claims about the signs of Jesus' birth, specifically the star of Bethlehem. Frederick Larson found more than what he imagined:
If you're curious about the accuracy of the astronomical claims, Larson has some impressive corroboration at his site. Three different NASA researchers validate his astronomy, while not necessarily weighing in on the theological conclusions of the data.
I believe if you poke around long enough, you can find the entire presentation on the Internet. The DVD is a better way to view it, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.
Update: From the comments, here's a little more corroboration from another astronomer who notes the same exact phenomena in his calculations.

(Editor's Note, Oct. 2: A Pennsylvania judge today blocked the state's voter I.D. requirement from going into effect before Election Day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the judge to further review the request for a preliminary injunction. AARP Foundation Litigation Senior Vice President Stuart Cohen stated:
"AARP filed amicus briefs in the Pennsylvania courts urging the courts to look closely at the evidence establishing the devastating impact this law will have on hundreds of thousands of the state's older residents who lacked, and are unable to obtain, the documents needed to secure a valid photo ID card. We are pleased that the court issued the injunction so that all citizens will continue to be able to cast their ballots."
Read Jo Ann Jenkins' original column below.)
After voting in nearly every election in Pennsylvania for the past 50 years, Viviette Applewhite, 93, will have to stay home this Election Day. Ms. Applewhite marched with Dr. Martin Luther King to support his efforts to bring civil rights to Southern blacks. Now her own right to vote is threatened: She doesn't have and can't get the government-issued photo ID required under Pennsylvania's new voter ID law.
See also: AARP asks Ninth Circuit to uphold voter ID ruling.
Voter ID laws have been springing up in many states, and AARP Foundation Litigation (AFL) is busy challenging these restrictive laws.
Supporters of voter ID laws claim they will cut down on voting fraud, which seems a bit disingenuous. In Texas, for example, CBS-TV found only 62 cases of alleged voter fraud among the more than 39 million votes cast in recent elections — a percentage of .0001. Fewer than 25 of the 62 involve alleged in-person voter fraud.
In fact, we have just learned that Pennsylvania will not introduce any evidence of in-person fraud at the trial challenging the law. Why? The state has no record of any investigation into or prosecution of in-person voting fraud in Pennsylvania, and no knowledge about in-person voter fraud in other states.
Indeed, voter ID laws are more likely to keep eligible U.S. citizens from voting in person, especially if they are elderly, minority or poor. Under the laws, they must produce passports or driver's licenses to vote. For those who have neither, the states claim they will provide a "free" photo ID. To get that ID, though, voters must show a certified birth certificate in their legal name or their naturalization papers.
And, while the state photo ID is free, it costs voters $8 to $25 to get their birth certificate. If you're among the 52 percent of women who changed their name when they married, you have to get a copy of a marriage certificate or divorce decree. These cost money, too.
Although the 1965 Voting Rights Act outlawed requiring people to pay to vote, in effect that's exactly what the new voter ID laws are doing. AFL's amicus briefs don't call for absolving voters from having to provide any identification — we all support election integrity. The problem is requiring photo IDs that many voters do not have and that will be difficult and expensive — if not impossible — for them to get. According to the latest report from the Brennan Center for Justice, 18 percent of people 65 and above, 25 percent of voting age African Americans, and 16 percent of voting age Hispanics don't have a government-issued photo ID.

Google is adding a personalized, crowdsourced sensibility to Maps. When you click a spot on a map -- a hotel, for instance -- Maps zeroes in on that location and shows relevant information, such as similar establishments nearby and transportation options to get there. It also incorporates more Yelp-like features, including business reviews with star ratings, photos and directions. Maps is more tightly integrated with Google+ too. For instance, if you're looking for a restaurant, it'll show eateries recommended by your Google+ pals. The overall presentation of the new Google Maps is pretty slick and a nice improvement. But will it convince more folks (beyond tech nerds) to give Google+ a try?

Hi All
I feel a wee bit bad joining a forum and asking a question right off but... here goes...
Does anyone know what kind of reputation the Cambridge School in Verona has? I used to live in the north of Italy and want to go back some day and I fancied doing the CELTA course in Verona but I'd like to know if it has any kind of bad repuation before getting too keen on the idea.
Many thanks


text: It's beginning to look like Denver won't make it to the Playoffs. I really like the Denver team so much. It's the only team I have followed besides the Pistons this year. Last year I followed about eight teams, but I don't have that kind of bandwidth anymore. Anyway, I'm glad we won, but I do still hope somehow Denver can get in there instead of Golden State. Of course they would have to play the #1 team and would exit from the first round but stilll.... I thought we looked fantastic tonight. I like the way we play against these uptempo teams. I like to watch our defense operating at a faster pace. It's very exciting basketball to watch. Unlike the Pistons/Spurs yawnfests that are like a ritual with both teams now.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Test IC Module circuit
Your truck has tan with black wire for timing adjust as you stated. during start up when the engine is being cranked there is no voltage present on this wire and the module grounds the circuit timing stays at base ( O degrees) after the engine starts the and PCM sees around 400 rpm ( during upstart) it supplies a 5 volt signal to this little tan with black wire. This causes the ignition module to switch to computed timing effectiveley switching from base timing. Here is what you do... backprobe the tan/blk wire with a DVOM of good quality at least 1 megohm internal resistance hook the red lead to the cicuit and the other to a suitable ground. Turn key on note the reading should be zero or real close then start the truck and watch to see if it changes to 5 volts, if it does not your pcm is defective if it does the module is defective.If you scan it you may see a code 42. this is the code for that circuit. It will set when you unplug the connector and remain for a certain amount of key cycles. clear it out and see if it reappears under normal conditions.this manuever along with the DVOM reading should tell you what you need to know
|Sounds like an incompatible issue between the ECM and Dist.
well its one of those parts iv been wanting to change, i put a new motor in about 10,000 miles ago and kept the original 200,000 mile old distributor. the distributor was worn, had some play in it and the truck started to give out when it got hot, then the other day it finally quit for good so i figured the modue was bad, ended up being the coil but i wanted the distributor anyway because of how worn it was.
anyway, turns out im a total retard, i made a mistake by assuming the first 0 mark on the dampener was the right 0.thanks, but i figured out my problem which wasnt what i though at all. my fluiddamper has many markings, not just a 0 mark like a stock dampener, a little after 50 degrees theres another 0 mark(not sure for what, 0 degrees for another cylinder?, couldn't be bottom dead center, wouldnt run.) but it was not the right one obviously, so when the advance worked i was thinking it was dropping back the timing becasue i was looking at the markings wrong when really it was advancing it beyond the markings, its hard to tell how little movement is so many degrees when theres no more marking i guess, so between that and me not realizing you need to turn the truck off in between unplugging and plugging back in the est wire i was just chasing my tail all day like a fool. so i set it to the proper 0 degrees and was on my way, after 5 minutes of spitting and sputtering with severely fouled spark plugs that is. the plugs look real bad, probably from slipping performance from the old coil and hours of screwing with the timing watching it spit black smoke, the neighbors love me.
after logging the truck to make sure it wasnt knocking i noticed i definitly have a knock issue, but its not from me timing it wrong becasue now that i notice it, i know iv felt the same thing before, pretty much ever since the manual transmission swap. when i hit a certain point during normal acceleration the motor feels like it hits a wall, and after dataloging it, its clear that the power loss is from 8 degrees of knock retard, during a normal light acceleration i will reach 0 vacuum, maybe even a pound of boost, so the timing gets pretty low, around 12 degrees and its still taking timing out? my debate is weather this is some form of preventative burst knock or if my knock sensor is really reading any knock... makes me wonder about the quality of the fuel im running, 8.9:1 compression and 93 octane and i get a knock at 12 degrees of timing? somethings not right.
|First of all, why did you change the dist?
help with my timing!
i cant get my truck timed, its a 95 k1500 so its tbi fuel injected with the late model efi style distributor where you disconect the est wire behind the gloevebox to time it at 0 then plug the est wire back into the ecm. the problem is that i disconnect the est wire and set the advance to 0, i plug the est wire back in and the truck still runs at 0 degrees across the board, it may drop back a few degrees in the negative as rpms change, thats about it. i just dropped in a parts store reman distributor w/ module and a new coil, could this be a bad ignition module? i dont know what to do. i tune the truck with my laptop so i pluged it in and played with the timign to see if i can see any response and i get nothing no matter what i do, when i data log the ecm i read the proper timing advance, so the ecm is functioning properly.its just not making its way to the distributor, the distributor just wont respond to the ecm is what the problem seems like. there are no breaks in the wiring that i know of, it worked fine before the coil went out and i started throwing new parts at it.

Young forward Chuba Akpom has signed professional terms with the Club.
The Newham-born youngster, who celebrated his 17th birthday this week, is already a regular in Terry Burton's Under-21 side, for whom he scored his first goal in the 2-0 victory over Reading on Monday night.
Chuba has demonstrated his eye for goal in the NextGen Series this season too, netting twice in three appearances in Europe's elite youth competition.
A prodigious talent, he was selected for the under-18s at just 15 years of age in 2010/11, and went on to make 15 appearances at that level last year as a schoolboy.
Chuba has represented England at a number of youth levels and scored three goals in four games for the under-17s at the 2011 Nordic Tournament.
Everyone at Arsenal would like to congratulate Chuba on his first professional contract and we look forward to his continued progression with the Club.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

One that I have been thinking about is a long hive. Brood super with 20 frames, cover over outside 5 frames on each end, and regular 10 frame super on top. You could make the super any size, frames or height. I built some med supers over last winter, had been using shallow honey supers, meds are heavier. Good luck with your project.Joe
I've done square Dadant deeps (19 7/8" x 19 7/8" x 11 5/8"). I've done square Langstroth deeps (19 7/8" x 19 7/8" by 9 5/8". I've done square mediums (19 7/8" x 19 7/8" by 6 5/8"). None of them are a size I want to lift if they are full of honey. But the concept of a Dadant deep is that it always stays on the bottom and is never lifted and it's large enough for a prolific queen to have room to lay and big enough to overwinter with no additional boxes. I have put two five frame nucs on top of the square hive and they are pretty liftable and they fit. But the wall in the middle does interfere with communication. Most people running them are using shallow square supers on top, but even those weigh 60 or 70 pounds. The worse part, though, is not the weight so much as those extra pounds are almost 20" away from your body which makes them seem much heavier.I've experimented with many other configurations as well. In the end I run all eight frame mediums. One of the more useful uses of the square boxes when when I divided it in two with vertical double excluders and ran it as a two queen hive...
bees evolved for high aspect ratio (>7)cylinders..not low aspect ratio(<1) cuboids
Wife had meetings last week.. early morning, so she went to bed around 4:30 PM.. I got bored..... and built a hive around multiple ideas I had.. Seemed like a good idea at the time... actually, it LOOKS impressive... But it IS going to be heavy when its full... I had quite a few 1x12's stacked in the garage... so upon staring at them for a while wondering how to start.. I just cut all four sides the same length. Router'd the two top edges so standard deep frames will fit into it... glued, nailed and squared... NEXT... I built a custom bottom board, and made the entrance the same as my Langstroths.. so i could use entrance reducers etc... so now I had a deep body and a bottom board with attached stand... so i built a second deep body, a vented top cover, and then I built an insulated garden roof to cover it all... hmmm, yeah, its square, holds thirteen (deep) frames in each box... so i took a standard medium honey super and set it on the top.. the length was right, but the sides had nearly two inches uncovered... a quick 2x4 through my table saw at a 45 degree angle... pieces screwed to the honey super and the sides are now sealed.. AND, I can use a standard inner and outer cover on it.... Yes... Inspections will be difficult because of the weight.. but I can still heft a railroad tie to my shoulder, carry it across the yard and set it in place where the wife wants her steps down to the deck built over the pond... So hopefully it will be at least two or three years before I get fat... errr, CONTENT!!!
Anyhow.. it uses standard frames, standard entrance reducer and the honey supers modified can still be used on this, or standard hives... I forced myself to try this hive before I built any more like it... Bees build brood in a "ball" so wouldnt square be better than rectangle?... But making a smaller square would mean none of the standard equipment (frames) would fit... thats what started the ideas, it sort of snowballed from there... I figured to use normal honey supers with covers until winter, then install the insulated pitched roof. I have wondered if the bees would even utilize thirteen frames... My 8 frame hive (single.. Only have one) they dont tend to like the two outsides of the frames.. in my ten frame hives they dont usually like to use the two outside edge frames.. so i was thinking in this hive they may at least actually USE a full eleven frames... IF, they dont use the outside frame edges.
if it doesnt work out, and or proves to be too heavy for me to manipulate, I can cut it down to standard dimensions, but thought I would ask if any of you had ever considered such a thing, and or tried it? Opinions? ( Other than weight.. i know I may blow out certain parts of my anatomy when i lift it.) Thanks!
OK.. so I am not as original as I thought.
Edit; What do you do for a roof on something like that? Use a divided inner cover to allow individual inspections of each section?
On a Queen Castle (QC), as I described, the cut for the divider panels has to run from the frame rabbit (rest) to the screened bottom, it is cut 3/8 deep into the wood just as is the rabbit. The panel is cut 3/4 inch above the top of the box. I've found that 1X4 lumber works well as inner tops between the panels so that each section can be handled individually. I drill 2 7/8 inch holes in the inner tops covering the holes with #8 hardware cloth. The holes are just the right size to accept a pint or quart jar feeder. Feeding is can be done with the top off, or 2 medium depth nucs, side by side will cover the feeders. At least 2 holes to each inner top. The two end sections are slightly wider due to the hive body wall. Atop the entire hive I make a migratory top to keep out the rain. The QC is based on an old design I saw in the 1960's and upon which I've made improvements. There are several ways to operate the QC the easiest of which is to set up a split using the two middle sections as a single unit, which will result in the creation of 1 queen, then as that fills out the center panel is inserted and the two other panels are removed, resulting in a 2 queen. The third phase is to have all 3 divider panels inserted resulting in 4 queens. The queens can be harvested and transferred to other hives at any time after the 1st queen as laid 4 frames of brood., from there it is pretty much self perpetuating until the beekeeper decides to tear it down into nucs. Queens can be removed and placed in individual cages or a complete section (3 frames) can be taken, placed in huc or hive body with additional frames and combined with the targeted hive.If you're interested I might tell you how to develop hives with a 3 tiered brood chamber in just 6 short weeks. I system I've develop for rapid expansion or late swarm/slits. An August swarm/split can be made winter survivalable by late September.

Global warming said to cost ski resorts $1 billion
Declines in snowfall because of global warming are shortening the winter ski season in the United States and harming the economy, according to a report from two environmental groups.
In poor snow seasons such as last winter, visits drop to ski areas in states such as Colorado and New York, costing ski resorts $1 billion in revenue over the past decade, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Protect Our Winters said in the report released Thursday. The winter sports industry contributes more than $12 billion a year to the U.S. economy, the study said.
"Climate change spells trouble for all businesses dependent on winter weather, from snowmobiling, snowboarding, and ice fishing to snowshoeing and skiing," the groups said in the report.
In the U.S., average temperatures from December through February have increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 Celsius) since 1970, according to the report. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday the first 11 months of 2012 were the warmest start to any year in the contiguous 48 states since the U.S. began keeping records in 1895.
Carbon-dioxide emissions since the Industrial Revolution have led to a warming of the Earth's temperature, which threatens to cause extreme weather, drought and coastal flooding, according to the U.S. Global Change Research Program.

I just purchased some bfs from a guy, good deal just some of the flocking is worn and the gloss plastic is showing thru. How should I fix this? I was planning on spraying rustoleum flat black on a brush and then painting it on, but I don't want to melt the flocking or something bad like that. Also, maybe some tips on painting the cheek patches, they are more of a yellow cream color. Its probably not necessary but I'm Just finding some summer jobs to do

Cesc Fabregas feels the yellow card he received during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona was "very unfair".
The Arsenal captain was booked shortly before half-time for a challenge on Sergio Busquets, despite appearing to win the ball.
The caution rules Fabregas out of next week's second leg, though the midfielder accepts he may not be able to take part at the Nou Camp anyway.
"It [the booking] was very unfair," he said after the match. "I thought I won the ball very well.
"I sprinted 50 yards for a yellow card. That was not really nice. But I could not play anyway now because of the injury."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Spurred by the rising market for luxury housing in Lower Manhattan, the architects transformed the Printing House—an iconic industrial building in the West Village—from cramped loft apartments created in the 1970s into a hip new address. The change of attitude emerges in the sleek steel canopy added at the building entrance and continues into the lobby, where white surfaces play as a neutral foil to a glazed, green tile vault that survives from the building's original 1911 construction. The team's texture-rich approach to the revamp of the building comes to bear in the laser-cut, blackened steel panels used in the lobby redesign. But the main challenge was solving the puzzle of converting the 100 available units scattered throughout the building into 64 new residences—all with double-height living rooms and large-scale windows that fill the spaces with natural light. The new units preserve the concept of bedroom lofts introduced in the '70s, while improving light distribution deep into spaces, which are outfitted with modern amenities. "For me, the appeal is less about the specific unit design and more about the quiet sophistication of the common areas," juror Josh Shelton said. "I like the way all that works together as a color palette and material palette."

Hi all!
Seeking a bit of advice from those in the know!
My girlfriend and I will be travelling round SE Asia for a couple of months then want to settle somewhere so I can teach English. I have a higher national diploma and will be CELTA qualified.
My girlfriend is Swedish (so cannot teach), she also does not have a degree. Which countries would let her stay on my visa and which would pay enough that I could support her if she is not able to find work so volunteers/studies instead?
The two countries I have in mind are Taiwan and Vietnam (both for different reasons) but want to weigh up the options before hand.
If it helps with visas etc, she was born in the Philippines but grew up in Sweden - but I understand that paid teaching jobs are rare in the Philippines?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Cachoo, Apr 22, 2013.
just curious
I buy the kid size combo which comes with popcorn, small coke, and a chocolate. And I might have a bag of peanuts in my purse.
Greasy, buttery movie theater popcorn is my favorite food, and I am totally unrepentant
i buy the kid's combo because i like the tray it comes on, you just have to hold the one thing
Yup, me too. I eat it, I love it, and I have no regrets.
Junior Mints!
We only have "butter-like topping" at our movie theater (it actually says that on the pump)
These be trying times...
Mine too and when I'm really bad I throw some Milk Duds into the bucket.
choclate IN the popcorn is the BEST!!!
My favorite movie snack is whatever I can sneak in. I have a large purse and can get VERY creative. I usually am with a group and buy popcorn in addition to what I bring in, so I don't feel guilty. I've brought Panda Express, Chipotle, Subway, soda poured into a water bottle...
But as far as in-theater snacks go, popcorn all the way. And I'm kind of gross and I like mine practically COATED in popcorn salt. So much so that I have to bring a separate bag for my own popcorn because no one else can stand to eat out of the same bag as me once I'm done seasoning it. So bad for you, but that stuff wasn't all that nutritious in the first place, so...
Popcorn , no extra "butter-like" substance, because as much as I love it, it does not love me. Also - Red Vines.
If I'm by myself, I get the kids combo. Perfect size of everything, and a tray to put it in.
Yes!! I'll top it off with a giant, icy Coke...
Popcorn swimming in butter, sprinkled with salt and a side of jalapenos
And coke to wash it all down
Popcorn is a whole grain and the kernals are strong anti-oxidants. So it is a nutritious snack, actually, especially if you leave the butter and salt out. I make stove-top popcorn the old-fashioned way and nothing to it. I's a great, low-calorie nighttime snack, especially since I enjoy chewing on the kernals.
Chocolate Choc Top (say that 10 times quickly)
Nothing. I can go 2 hours without eating anything, esp movie popcorn. I walk thru the lobby as quickly as I can because the smell makes me sick. (I like popcorn, just not the overpowering smell of it.)
I like "un-salty" spices, such as curry powder, sprinkled on popcorn.
Nachos and an Icee.
However, reading some of these posts may make me reconsider (especially the salty, buttery, warm popcorn with milkduds thrown in).
I might bring a regular 50cl Pepsi/Coke bottle, and a bag of mixed candy, but I can just as easily go without any snacks at all. If it's a really long film, like The Hobbit, I might skip the snacks and the drink altogether, since I hate having to go to the loo during the film.
I used to love to get the starburst jelly beans. So good. I can't handle all that sugar anymore so for me it is just a diet coke these days.
The new single serving plastic cup of wine. Moms night out, all the way!
Popcorn with Salt no fake butter
m&m's, starbust at theaters
chocolate, icecream, wine at home.

Eartha Steward: Don't you want to know what's in your food?
October 3, 2012
Dear Eartha:
Have you heard about Proposition 37, which would require labeling of genetically engineered foods in California? I think this is a great opportunity to educate our
community about health and
environmental issues concerning GMOs and what we can do to fight it.
– Kathy, Frisco
There is a huge battle going on in the farming world and it's not restricted to California. Genetically engineered foods (GE) or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are threatening our food system and our health. California's Proposition 37, on the ballot for Nov. 6, would require foods containing GE/GMOs to be labeled. This could potentially impact the rest of the country, including Colorado. Don't you want to know what's in your food?
Genetically engineered foods are not a new concept. They've been around for decades. GMOs or GE crops go through a "transgenic" process where DNA from one species is shifted to another species that can result in a mixture of plant, bacteria, animal and viral gene pools.
GEs have become a hot topic in the last couple of years because of several reasons including concerns for the nation's health and out-of-control obesity rates; loss of biodiversity; the underground food movement of community gardeners, young farmers and local food campaigns; and the outcry of many local food heroes that have worked tirelessly to get the word out about the dangers of a GE planet.
What is alarming is that GEs are already prevalent in the food system. Genetically modified foods are on the shelf and we've been purchasing and eating them for years with little understanding of what they do to our bodies and our environment. Corn, soybean, cotton, alfalfa, zucchini, canola and sugar beets are GE crops on the U.S. market. The most alarming of these products are the grains – corn and soy. GE grains are fed to the majority of livestock in the U.S. (according to the "Just Label It" campaign).
In addition, high fructose corn syrup (now being disguised as "corn sugar" on some labels) is genetically modified. According to Colorado State Extension, "Because many processed food products contain soybean or corn ingredients (e.g., high fructose corn syrup or soy protein), it's estimated that 60 to 70 percent of processed foods in grocery stores include at least one GE ingredient."
Proposition 37, the mother of all food fights, is not only about the labeling of GE ingredients, it includes an ingenious educational campaign that will hopefully be a "wake-up call" for those who were unaware of the unsustainable side of our food system.
Proposition 37 has also unveiled the ugly side of agribusiness calling out such giants as Monsanto, DuPont, Bayer and Dow. Detailed charts have shown us diehard, organic shoppers that you can't always trust the label or the company. Unfortunately, many organic brands have been gobbled up by larger, not-so-organic companies that are now confirming their allegiances to GE and Monsanto. Such brands as Muir Glen, Kashi, Cascadian Farm and Horizon (just to name a few), which can be found at our favorite natural food stores, are now under the wings of General Mills, Kellogg and Dean foods.
Currently, "USDA Organic" regulations do prohibit the use of GMOs. Nonetheless, the organic label and livelihood is being threatened by large agribusinesses supporting GE food (not labeling). The only true to way to know your food is GE-free and GMO-free is to support a national labeling campaign (Proposition 37 is a good start).
Support local ranchers and farmers that are choosing sustainable growing/
raising standards and purchase products from businesses that stand for what you believe in (not the other way around). Small companies that are spending money fighting GE and Monsanto need your dollars! Companies such as Organic Valley, Nature's Path, Amy's, Annie's, Eden, Earthbound Farm… that we recognize and have come to love.
You can also sign a petition in support of Proposition 37 while educating yourself, your family and your friends. Some great resources to get you started include The Cornucopia Institute, Food and Water Watch and Just Label It.
Finally, support organizations in your community that are always working on a local and sustainable food programs. High Country Conservation Center's fourth annual Harvest Dinner is tonight at Vinny's Restaurant in Frisco. At the Harvest Dinner, you can find fresh, GMO-free ingredients brought to you by local farms and community gardens. HC3 is taking reservations for the dinner and all proceeds benefit our conservation programs. Call (970) 668-5703 or visit http://www.highcountry

El Nino, Global Warming, and Anomalous U.S. Winter Warmth
It has now become all too common. Peculiar weather precipitates immediate blame on global warming by some, and equally immediate pronouncements by others (curiously, quite often the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in recent years) that global warming can't possibly be to blame. The reality, as we've often remarked here before, is that absolute statements of neither sort are scientifically defensible. Meteorological anomalies cannot be purely attributed to deterministic factors, let alone any one specific such factor (e.g. either global warming or a hypothetical long-term climate oscillation).
Lets consider the latest such example. In an odd repeat of last year (the 'groundhog day' analogy growing ever more appropriate), we find ourselves well into the meteorological Northern Hemisphere winter (Dec-Feb) with little evidence over large parts of the country (most noteably the eastern and central U.S.) that it ever really began. Unsurprisingly, numerous news stories have popped up asking whether global warming might be to blame. Almost as if on cue, representatives from NOAA's National Weather Service have been dispatched to tell us that the event e.g. "has absolutely nothing to do with global warming", but instead is entirely due to the impact of the current El Nino event.
[Update 1/9/07: NOAA coincidentally has announced today that 2006 was officially the warmest year on record for the U.S.]
[Update 2/11/08: It got bumped to second place. ]
So what's really going on? The pattern so far this winter (admittedly after only 1 month) looks (figure on the immediate right) like a stronger version of what was observed last winter (figure to the far right–note that these anomalies reflect differences relative to a relatively warm 1971-2000 base period, this tends to decrease the amplitude of positive anomalies relative to the more commonly used, cooler 1961-1990 base period). This poses the first obvious conundrum for the pure "El Nino" attribution of the current warmth: since we were actually in a (weak) La Nina (i.e., the opposite of 'El Nino') last winter, how is it that we can explain away the anomalous winter U.S. warmth so far this winter by 'El Nino' when anomalous winter warmth last year occured in its absence?
The second conundrum with this explanation is that, while El Nino typically does perturb the winter Northern Hemisphere jet stream in a way that favors anomalous warmth over much of the northern half of the U.S., the typical amplitude of the warming (see Figure below right) is about 1C (i.e., about 2F). The current anomaly is roughly five times as large as this. One therefore cannot sensibly argue that the current U.S. winter temperature anomalies are attributed entirely to the current moderate El Nino event.

Candy Basket Milk & Dark Chocolate Fleur de Sel Salted Caramel Pecan Patties
$27.99 (Normally $49.99) 44% off List Price
Milk & Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Pecan Patties, 27oz
Um, I'd like some wine with my wine please.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!! These are AWESOME!!!
Nooo! I am almost finished the last box I bought of these. I think I like these better than the regular salted caramels! But I can't have them...no I can't! Please sell out fast so I'm not tempted for too long. They are sooo delicious!
krobart wrote:Um, I'd like some wine with my wine please.
It looks like you misspelled "whine" there...
These were quite yummy, though my waistline did not appreciate them.
Tried to force myself not to spend this much money on candy the last time it came up. This time I had to force myself not to order the maximum allowed.
This isn't just candy. These taste like little drops of heaven! (obscure Friends reference)
I thought they would last a while since most of my family doesn't like nuts. I was wrong. They were gone in days.
"They're gold, Jerry! Gold!"
Kenny Bania
Oh yeah! Been almost a year now. Next to wine and cheese, these are the best. IN.
Speaking of cheese, any of that coming up, hint hint.
Is it two separate containers or milk and dark chocolate in one container?
These freeze very nicely as well. I kept them frozen until I finished the salted caramels from a couple of months ago. Now I am just about finished with these, so your timing is impeccable, wine.woot!
OK, ok , ok.... Since I have already bought something today, I think I HAVE to get these just for the free shipping alone. Yup. thats it.
Oh crap. These are effin' de-friggin'-liciously awesome.
I'm trying to resist...
sneefy wrote:Oh crap. These are effin' de-friggin'-liciously awesome.

go for it, I still have 2 boxes at home and bought some more. love these
chancell0r wrote:Is it two separate containers or milk and dark chocolate in one container?
All in one. One layer of dark, one layer of milk.
Kipi if you happen to read this. Please please please sell some of your Cabernet Truffles on here. They would be huge success and are amazing.
In case any of you bystanders are wondering why people are going nuts over these: yes they are that darn good. I still have half a box left from the pre holiday sale. And I'm not buying any more, because they are to die for. Really. If you let yourself I bet you could eat half a box, by yourself, without even trying hard. I have to cut myself off or I'm going to get fat.
mmmmmm can't wait to ruin my diet!
In for 3. Got a box of the regular salted chocolate caramels last time for my mom and me and we rapidly polished off the box. The only thing that could have made them better, in my opinion, was nuts, and here they are! Omnomnom. 2 for the freezer, one for scarfing right away.
Could not resist, in for 3. Last year during the holidays a box sat out among some Fannie May and Fantasy Candy chocolates, and these were the first to disappear. I think they have that magical combination of salt + sweetness that culminates in "super addictive."
Just what I was hoping to see on today's Woot.
If anyone from the Candy Basket checks in, I'd love to make sure I don't get a box like last time - The box was filled with mostly MILK chocolate pecan patties and the dark chocolate ones I did receive were very small. It was like I got the last of a batch of dark chocolate ones, so they gave me more milk chocolate ones to replace them.
Considering I buy these only for the dark chocolate (I give all of the milk chocolate ones away), I was not very happy.
A must buy.
These are stupid-good. Luckily I can have them shipped to my office so I won't sit down and polish off almost two pounds of candy by myself. Because with these? I totally could.
I literally just finished the box I bought along with the caramels last time. I had gotten 2 of the caramels and 1 of the pecans.
I am getting 2 of the pecans this time. They are just plain good.
Has anyone noticed a shipping delay with these ? I first got a notice that they were being shipped on 1/24 with an arrival of the 31st, and then today I saw that the ship date was changed to 1/29 with an arrival of the 5th of February.

Turns out the labels were created earlier than the actual ship date (1/29). Sorry for the confusion!

I know this situation probably happens to everyone who likes baking.
Often, on cold and dreary gray-skied days, I get in the mood to bake something. Doesn't something fresh out of the oven sound perfect on these kinds of days?
But usually I'm not in the mood to go to the store for ingredients, partly because these days are also perfect for staying in your pajamas.
Instead of looking for recipes and being disappointed because you don't have the supplies, it is best to take another approach.
Do an ingredient recon before deciding what to make. Search the pantry for things you can use as the starting point of something to bake. Check the fridge for things to use. The door shelves, where the jams and other flavor-filled items often sit, is a good place to look.
In this case, I found a jar of apple butter, perfect to use in a yummy muffin.
After finding your base, check your baking supplies. Most items will need flour, sugar and eggs so make sure you have enough before looking for a recipe.
Once you find what you are going to use as the base flavor, then search for recipes.
Take your time and find one that includes the ingredients you have on hand.
My search led me to an apple butter muffin recipe from "Taste of Home" magazine.
When you look at a recipe and don't have an item, decide if it's critical to baking success or if it could be left out. For example, this recipe requires baking powder, not something you really want to leave out of the mix.
In my case I didn't have allspice or pecans. These two items were not critical to baking the muffins and were OK to leave out. The pecans were supposed to be used for a topping but I mixed the sugar with cinnamon instead, which worked out fine.
There was just enough apple butter left to complete the recipe, which I at first thought I was going to mix in with the batter. Looking closely to the recipe, I saw it was going to be placed between the layers of batter for a nice gooey center.
The other perk of baking something with so many seasonings and apple butter is the delightful smell that fills your home.
Combining taste and smell, this dish provides a delight to the senses.

Apple Butter Muffins
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup thick apple butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons sugar
In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups with a rounded tablespoon of batter. Top each with a rounded teaspoon of apple butter and remaining batter. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over muffins.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
Makes about a dozen muffins.

Do we consciously choose to suffer?

If yes, then why would we choose to suffer, when suffering is undesirable by definition? Why consciously make a decision that is immediately regrettable? Why even choose one form of suffering over another?
