Happy Valentine's Day two days early. While researching why chocolate is so popular for Valentine's Day, I found this interesting information.
Chocolate is a unique food as it not only satisfies the taste buds and mouth, but goes on to satisfy the brain, according to Dr. Judith Wurtman, who published "A Valentine Date with Chocolate," in "The Antidepressant Diet."
Sugar and butterfat change chocolate from a bitter, dry crunchy food into one that coats the tongue and mouth and has a major impact on the way we feel.
The sugar causes the brain to make more of the feel-good chemical serotonin.
The fat may work on pleasure centers in the brain.
Anecdotal evidence also indicates high-fat foods such as chocolate have an anesthetic effect on emotions, Wurtman wrote.
The feelings of pleasure and comfort last for hours after the last piece has been swallowed, as the brain pumps out the feel-good chemicals.
It's no wonder chocolate is the confection of choice on Valentine's Day.
Included today are three suggestions for celebrating Valentine's Day and getting your fill of feel-good chocolate — Deep and Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake, Valentine's Chocolate Trail Mix and Caramel Brownies.

Deep and Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 ½ c. brewed coffee
4 eggs
3 c. sugar
¾ c. canola oil
2 t. vanilla
2 ½ c. all purpose flour
1 c. cocoa
2 t. baking soda
¾ t. baking powder
1 ¼ t. salt
1 ½ c. buttermilk
Ganache frosting:
16 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 c. heavy whipping cream
1 T. + 2 t. light corn syrup
Line bottoms of three greased 8-inch square or round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper. Place chocolate in a bowl. Pour hot coffee over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed until lemon-colored. Gradually add the sugar, oil, vanilla and chocolate mixture, beating until well blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
Transfer to prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
For Ganache, place chocolate in a bowl. In a saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth.
Let stand at room temperature to cool and thicken slightly, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mixture will be soft, but thickens on cake. Spread one cake layer with 1/3 cup Ganache. Top with second layer and 1/3 cup Ganache. Add third layer; spread remaining Ganache over top and sides of cake.

Microwave on 100 percent power for 30 seconds. Stir chocolate. Continue cooking in 10-second intervals, until chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth. Add remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate pieces; stir until chocolate is smooth again. Pour half of the melted chocolate over the granola; pour remaining half over the pretzels. Stir each until evenly coated.
Place the contents of each bowl on the prepared baking sheets. Separate the chocolate-coated pieces into small chunks. Let stand at room temperature 1 to 2 hours or until set. Break or chop the chocolate-coated granola and pretzels into bite size morsels. Transfer to a large bowl. Add dried cranberries, almonds, and dried cherries. Stir in dried raspberries just before serving.

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts, divided

Looking for some advice on what to do with European wasps that are hanging around the front my hives. The hives are all strong hives so all I've done at the moment is reduce the entrance but is there anything else I can do? I spent a bit of time watching and haven't witnessed any entering the hive yet.
Still searching for the wasp nest, if i can't find it I might have to move my hives as I am not sure what else to do. :'(
Danno, what are robber screens, please?Lone
The meat or other bait just away from the hives works well. Had that trouble last year. Just watching the flight path I managed to find 4 nests in the bank of the pondage and were quickly exterminated with Ant and Wasp Powder. A good shot down the entrance creates pandamonium and a lot of dead wasps immediately. Advice given was to suit up but simply do the job and back off a few metres and watch. Have hardly seen a wasp this year.

With sdk1 firmware, rk2918 was using cramfs and could not use ChainFire3D (CF3D). So, back then I had put together a SGS2 build.prop.
See here:
This build.prop would loop on A10 tablets because 1 line cannot be changed. Roman found out which and posted it somewhere. A10 firmware must check a field in its build.prop before booting into Android OS. But on i7, with sdk1 firmware, that SGS2 build.prop worked perfectly.
Now, for sdk2 we have ext3 file system. So, we can now use ChainFire3D to play games. That means, we could choose a different device to mimic.
Let's consider the pros and cons:
SGS2 build.prop - Mali-400 GPU
#1. We would get couple more games & apps.
#2. The games would mostly be compatible because would use OpenGL ES standard (ETC compression).
#3. Don't have to use CF3D.
#1. Only couple more programs would show up and still missing quite a lot
#2. ETC does not look that great on higher end 3D games
SGS1 or Galaxy Tab build.prop - PowerVR GPU
#1. Would get a very full Market
#2. Games would use texture compression method other than ETC and thus look much better
#1. Would have to use CF3D to play all or most of the 3D games
So really, seems best to go with SGS1 or other phone/tablet that has PowerVR chip and was very popular and well supported. That will give the most games in Market and use the better compression method for better looking 3D graphics.
I still have not tested out CF3D. I will have to check it out to see how well it works.
One other issue to make note of:
Our firmware is version 2.3.1 but some build.props are for newer versions. So, I may find 2.3.6 for SGS1. Now, this is not an issue if the program requires 2.3.1 or older, which seems to be the case for all (or most) of the apps I have seen in Market. But, for any program that wants 2.3.2 or better, it could cause instability or crashing problem.
Why use 2.3.6 build.prop and not find 2.3.1 version? Because, the newer build.props have better app support. I believe the tablet maker takes the original listings in 2.3.1 and moves them over to 2.3.6 and then updates the listings as time passes on. So, get a more accurate and bigger Market listing by choosing the newer build.props to mimic. Something to consider.
Most apps only require 2.1 or 2.2. Couple say vary by device and impossible to know what they do. Maybe they check for certain version of OS and enable those features? Keep in mind, my SGS2 was for 2.3.5 and i7 firmware was 2.3.1. I never had any problems from what I could tell but you just never know.

I'm 10, have 5 siblings, an absent mother that yanked us out of our predictable home and away from my father whom I adored. However, she did not. At 28, with 6 kids, all she could understand was how she was robbed of her youth. She did not want to go to church, hang out with the other mothers, sew clothes, cook dinner, shop or clean. She wanted to march in protest lines, stand up for civil rights, hang out in the "hippy" section of Detroit and blare the Rolling Stones.…

Liriano on target to start Friday
Liriano on target to start Friday
TAMPA, Fla. -- Francisco Liriano will make his Grapefruit League debut on Friday, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire confirmed on Wednesday. Liriano will get the start against the Red Sox at City of Palms Park in the 12:05 p.m. CT contest. It will be the left-hander's first game action since he underwent Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery in November 2006. The contest with the Red Sox is one of two split-squad games the Twins will play on Friday. Gardenhire said he will travel with the other half of the team to play the Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla., but pitching coach Rick Anderson will remain in Fort Myers to watch Liriano's performance.
Liriano is scheduled to pitch two innings. Gardenhire said that plan is tentative, as the coaching staff will wait to see how the left-hander makes it through his first inning. Liriano was a late arrival at Twins camp on Feb. 27, 10 days after the official report date for pitchers and catchers, due to visa troubles, but the left-hander threw in two games at the Twins Academy in the Dominican Republic before his arrival. Liriano threw two innings in his first game and three in the second contest.

Plenty of new imaging technology was on display at the PMA 2010 phptography show (which ran from February 21 through 23) in Anaheim--and a lot of it had a retro slant. Film is still going strong, camera designs are throwbacks to the old days, and instant cameras are making a comeback. Here's a look back at the future.

Spitalgasse 3, 8001 Zürich, 8001 Zurich Zurich - 8001, Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich, Switzerland, is truly one of the worlds great cities. Besides being an international headquarters for finance and industry, Zurich is also a beautiful city. Visitors will want to come back again and again, because there is more here than can be seen in one vacation, let alone a weekend. Zurich has an Old Town that would take days to explore properly. Here you will see the famous St. Peters Church, built in the 13th century. Guests staying in Zurich hotels have many museums to chose from, but a must-see is the Swiss National Museum. The Zurich Toy Museum is also very impressive. For shopping, go to the Bahnhofstrasse, the citys principal shopping street. The Rathaus, Zurichs 17th century Baroque Town Hall, was built on piles right on the Limmat River. Other interesting historic buildings can be seen on the street called Limmatquai.

It's got stunning photography capturing the quiet beauty of everyday life in Japan. It's got thought-provoking interviews on race relations and self-publishing. It's got engrossing Japan-themed fiction and nonfiction including my very first published story!
If you're really interested in life in Japan, and not just the tourist traps they show you in Lonely Planet, this is a magazine you need to read. Click here to read a free sample. I think I can safely say after reading the debut issue that it was a huge success. A big thank you goes to Caroline Josephine, the mastermind behind it all. I'm ecstatic to be included in the magazine along with my fellow bloggers and photographers Loco of Loco in Yokohama, Joanne Yu, Our Man in Abiko, J.C Greenway of Ten Minutes Hate and Made in DNA. I hope to see and be included in many more issues to come.
You can follow Tsuki Magazine on Twitter and Facebook.
Below is a sample from my story. Head over to Tsuki Magazine to read the rest. Get your copy here!
An officer and an interpreter waited on Anna with typical Japanese courtesy, standing silently but alert at the side of her hospital bed. The officer had a pen poised over a notebook. The interpreter stared at her with his bushy, dark eyebrows raised in expectation. Anna stared dumbly at a limp curtain (that should have been white but wasn't quite), bunched up at the corner of the empty hospital bed across from hers as she tried to shake free the details of the night before. They'd settled like potatoes in the sluggish stew of her brain. She could hear nurses talking in Japanese in the hallway outside her room, and though she usually tuned out at the sound of a language she could barely understand, today their chatter distracted her. The gash in her arm stung and itched, tight and uncomfortable under the gauze with the stitches pulling it closed. She knew there would be a bad scar, and hoped it wouldn't screw up her chances of getting modeling gigs in the future.
Focus, Anna focus. She closed her eyes and breathed deep, smelling the harsh cleanliness of antiseptic chemicals. She started her recollection with what she remembered most clearly: The blood, running down her arm first in one thin stream, then a little red river, breaking off into branches when it overflowed. It was like looking at one of those artsy pictures where everything is in black in white, except one thing that's a really bright colour – a red balloon, a yellow scarf, something like that. No, she didn't scream. She couldn't feel the knife slicing into her. She only knew she'd been badly cut because she could see it, and the eruption of blood splitting into three streams snaking down her arm, dripping off her elbow onto the road. She was too mesmerized to scream. Yeah, she probably was in shock. It hurt like a bitch after though.
The officer and interpreter chatted for a few seconds in fast Japanese, until finally the interpreter turned his dark eyes on her and asked, "Please tell it from the beginning."
* * *
It had been a hot night. Though the sun was asleep it was still unreasonably sticky out, and Anna knew there were embarrassing sweat stains on the back of her blouse. She was making the long, boring walk from the station to her apartment. She remembered being impressed that she was halfway home and hadn't had to dodge anyone coming at her on a bicycle yet, or stop at the side of one of Tokyo's narrow roads for a car to roll by. No looking at her shoes or the flowers in the front yard of a house or something, to avoid eye contact with the driver. Then, she'd stupidly thought it was good luck.
She was closing in on the intersection where she would turn for the home stretch to her place, when she saw the first person she'd seen on the back roads all night – which was strange to be honest, 'cause there are a ton of apartments and houses in the area. She couldn't tell if it were a man or a woman. All she could make out was that whoever it was wore one of those hospital masks people here strap onto their faces when they're sick, or is it trying not to get sick? Anyway, it stood out, bright white against the person's black coat, black hair and the blackness of the night. Anna had wondered how on Earth this person could stand wearing that long, dark coat in the heat. Yes, she could respect the dedication to fashion, but it was one of those nights where it's so humid the air is tangible, and you just can't seem to get enough oxygen no matter how deep you breathe.
Anna turned left at the intersection and the other person turned as well, and ended up walking behind her. Soon, Anna noticed the coat-wearer was practically on her heels. She could hear breathing – slow loud inhales and exhales like someone meditating, or maybe trying to supress their rage. She sped up, thinking maybe the person was agitated because she was in their way or something, even though they were the only people on the road and he or she could have easily gone around Anna. However, she shrugged it off as a "Japanese" thing, like passing someone on the road might come off as rude, but when she began to walk faster the person matched her pace. That was when Anna realized she was nervous.
Why is this dude right under me like this? She had decided it was a man. Oh God, maybe he's some kind of crazy person who hates foreigners, or – shit – is he gonna try to rape me or something? Dammit where is everyone?
She remembered hearing that rapists look for women who seem like "victims", and that they don't want to risk being identified. Maybe it was unwise, but she turned and faced the strange person.

Historical Documents To Highlight Texas Independence Celebration at Washington-on-the-Brazos
WASHINGTON, Texas — Under siege at the Alamo on March 3, 1836, commander William B. Travis dispatched a horseman with a terse message imploring the 59 men convened here in a drafty frame building to continue their deliberations to give birth to the Republic of Texas.
The resulting Texas Declaration of Independence, the only handwritten copy still in existence, comes home March 4-5 to "The Birthplace of Texas" to highlight the annual Texas Independence Day celebration.
An 1836 newspaper copy of Travis' last letter imploring "let the convention go on and make a declaration of independence," the original handwritten Texas Declaration of Independence and several other rare documents will be on public display together for the first time in 170 years at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site.
The historic papers will be part of the "Let the Convention Go On" exhibit that opens March 2, Texas Independence Day, at the historic site's Star of the Republic Museum.
The exhibit includes the declaration, Travis' letter, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, journals of the Convention of 1836, William Fairfax Gray's diary detailing convention proceedings and other key documents clarifying the Texians' grievances against the Mexican government and reasons for seeking independence.
Visitors to Washington-on-the-Brazos can view the documents at the museum from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the two-day celebration.
Travis' two-sentence missive to those gathered at the convention, attended by such Texas heroes as Sam Houston, Thomas Rusk and Jose Antonio Navarro, concludes, "If independence is not declared, I shall lay down my arms and so will the men under my command."
"The reason the letter is so important to us," Houston McGaugh, director of the Star of the Republic Museum, explained "is that Travis was imploring the convention to continue so the world would recognize Texas as an independent country and the United States would protect Texas. He knew if they (the delegates) didn't declare independence, Mexico would come back into Texas and wipe them out."
The unprecedented exhibit results from collaboration among the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (Texas Declaration), Texas General Land Office (Constitution), University of Texas at Austin's Center for American History (Gray's diary), the Dallas Heritage Society (Convention journals) and Star of the Republic Museum. The documents will be on display through March 16.
Gray, a Virginia soldier and lawyer, arrived in Texas in 1835 and attended the Convention of 1836, recording proceedings in his diary. Gray's diary was published in 1909 under the title From Virginia to Texas 1835.
In addition to the "Let the Convention Go On" exhibit, park visitors attending the two-day celebration can experience the early days of the republic through costumed re-enactors engaged in 19th century folkways, such as blacksmithing and quilting, military drills and old-timey music performed by the No Foolin' String Band and Fathers of Texas. The latter band features Texas favorite K. R. Woods.
At 2 p.m. Sunday, Houston television personality Ron Stone will emcee a special program honoring invited guests, signers of the 1836 Declaration of Independence and their descendants, concluded by the Texas Army's black gunpowder salute. A Fathers of Texas concert, featuring Austin music legend Rusty Wier, follows as a lead-up to the traditional cutting of a giant Texas birthday cake.
During the two-day celebration, park visitors can see a replica of Independence Hall on the original site where the Convention of 1836 took place, tour the Star of the Republic Museum and experience 1850s farm life at the Barrington Living History Farm, which includes the original home of Anson Jones, the Republic of Texas' last president.
All admission fees will be waived during celebration weekend. Festival vendors will offer a variety of food and drinks.
The Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park Association sponsors the Texas Independence Day Celebration.
The historic complex is open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset. Barrington Living History Farm is open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. The Star of the Republic Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site is located off Texas Highway 105 on FM 1155 between Brenham and Navasota, approximately an hour northwest of Houston. For additional details of the weekend celebration, please call (936) 878-2214.
Special Media Photo Op: The historic Republic of Texas documents will be arriving at approximately noon on Tues., Feb. 28, at Washington-on-the-Brazos aboard the Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site's authentic replica of an 1850 Concord stagecoach. Costumed schoolchildren and historical re-enactors will greet the fire engine-red stagecoach.

The mg 42 is an awesome build, however receivers are very expensive and hard to get now. you can get an mg34 kit and receiver semi auto kit from TNW for about 1,600. 00 mg34 cut receivers are also very hard to get. both builds are basically TIG welding projects.
You can get a bely fed RPK from vector for 2K, I have one and they are awesome
You can get a TNW semi mg34 for about $3800 TNW also is working on a semi auto mg42.
Hope that helps.

Several 109rs on this forum should be able to chime in with advice.Never ridden a 109; however, having ridden several other bikes, I can tell you the Raider is one of the best handling / best performing cruisers I've ever ridden. It's pretty nimble despite the rake. You're just gonna have to get a test ride.
Love my 240 rear tire and would never go back.
I have the Raider with the 240 . In my opiinion it handles better than the stock 210 did. And looks better too.

Limbaugh: For Democrats, "the more deaths in Iraq the better"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh accused Democrats, "leftists," and the media of hoping for more American fatalities in the war in Iraq. On the December 9 Rush Limbaugh Show, he declared: "They want deaths! ... It's gotten to the point now where the more deaths in Iraq the better for them, they think. The more lives saved in Iraq, the bigger the problem for them."
Limbaugh was responding to a December 9 Washington Post article by staff writer Ceci Connolly, which summarized a New England Journal of Medicine report crediting technological advances for lowered battlefield death rates. Connolly noted that the U.S. military has achieved "the lowest casualty fatality rate ever," and paraphrased a conclusion of Boston surgeon Atul Gawande's study: "[T]he remarkable lifesaving rate has come at the enormous cost of creating a generation of severely wounded young veterans and a severe shortage of military surgeons." Limbaugh also took issue with a December 8 Reuters News Service article reporting the study's findings.
From the December 9 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: There is an enormous cost to saving lives. We may have to rethink this, ladies and gentlemen, because there is an enormous cost here to saving lives. We're "creating a generation of severely wounded young veterans, and a severe shortage of military surgeons" because they're all on the front lines saving lives. That's not good? What in the world are we talking about? Should we let them die?
The answer to this is they're just livid -- the press, the leftists in this country are just upset that there are not enough deaths to get people outraged and protesting in the streets against the war. They're mad that these doctors are saving lives. They want deaths! They've been counting deaths up to 1,000, they hoped that would get Bush out of office. They still want Bush out of office; make no mistake about it. They still want Bush discredited and it's all part of coming back in '06 and '08, and so there are too many lives being saved over there. These lives in old wars, they would have died.
These soldiers in old wars would have died, like Vietnam, and we would have had people protesting in the streets but now these surgeons are saving too many lives. There aren't enough deaths so people aren't gonna be mad! It makes total sense to me. In fact, it's sort of like the left complaining when you tell them crime is down.
Remember one of the things I warned you about the Democrats? Bad news for America is good news for them; good news for America, bad news for them. They've doubled their bets. It's gotten to the point now where the more deaths in Iraq the better for them, they think. The more lives saved in Iraq, the bigger the problem for them.
As Media Matters for America has noted, Limbaugh has previously accused Democrats of hating the military and "breathlessly awaiting" the 1,000 U.S. death in Iraq.

Be sure to check out the first two parts of this series, linked above.
Projecting Versus Evaluating
There are a lot of terms and concepts that are key to understand around draft time that I see fans misunderstanding, so I wanted to run through some of them in this series, with concrete examples.
This is one that may seem obvious and most people understand the concept but often will focus too much on one at the expense of the other. The classic example here for me is Tyler Danish, the White Sox second round pick and Tampa-area prep righty that I've seen a lot of over the last year.
The reason Danish went in the second round is all about evaluating. He'll show two above average to plus pitches (heavy sinker up to 94 and wicked slurve) every time out, aggressively attacks hitters with shockingly good command along with great makeup, solid athleticism and good feel for pitching. He also has started working an average changeup in at times and goes so deep in to games and throws so often that scouts often joke he'll show up at games his team isn't playing in to get some side work.
So that's the good part. The two-pitch combo and command give him #3 starter upside but you can obviously see the reasons why some scouts didn't have him in the top five rounds. He's short (about 6'0, 190 pounds), lacks any physical projection, slings the ball from a very low slot, has an ugly arm action, an arm heavy delivery and has thrown a ton of pitches for a high school kid. He's also old for his prep class, turning 19 in September (I'll addressed this in more depth here and here).
So how do I evaluate Danish? I wouldn't draft him in the top few rounds and given his understandable bonus demands from his scholarship to Florida and interest from clubs in the top three rounds, he wouldn't be a factor on my draft board. Obviously all the evaluation lines up with where he went in the draft but a scout's job, especially with a high school prospect, is to project what that player will become. With a mysterious issue like pitcher health, when we're dealing with non-elite talents (outside the top half of the first round), I choose to go with what's been proven to work in terms of bodies, arm actions, deliveries and the like. I'll expound on why I feel this way in a forthcoming article outlining the principles of my Black Swan theory, covered in depth on my podcast (here and here).
You'd be hard-pressed to describe a big leaguer of consequence (excepting max effort middle relievers) that looks like Danish. I know of at least one club that takes players under 6'1 and/or with what they deem to be below average arm actions off their board entirely. You can either throw your hands up regarding pitcher health and just draft current ability or try to learn from hundreds of thousands of data points and increase your odds of drafting good big leaguers by playing the odds. Obviously either approach isn't perfect and will yield hits and misses, but I think a systematic approach is the best way to glean value when drafting pitchers outside of the top half of the first round.

Hot on the heals of Spideyfett's ESB colour list post, here's the list i came up with for AOSW Humbrol colours!
I pretty much bought all the greens available and set about layering them on top of each other on test strips, then applying different weathering techniques to achieve what i saw as a close match. The aim was to also achieve the chameleon like effect of the different hews of greens as you viewed the pieces from other angles.
-AOSW armour Humbrol colour list (layered)-
1. silver no. 11 then liquid mask silver damage.
2. yellow no. 81 then remove silver mask. Liquid mask silver and yellow damage.
3. green no. 78
4. green no. 117
5. black no. 33 misted and shaded as seen in reference pictures. When dry lightly buff in areas with 0000 wire wool. Repeat process also with splatters, donât overdo!
6. light grey highlights grey no. 140
7. scratches and scuffs: black and white soluble pencil and chalk pastels, scratches through to silver with tip of self proprlling pencil
8. final splatter of black no. 33 with old toothbrush and low pressure airbrush
9. centre diamond green no. 117 only, weather with black splatter black no. 33
10. seal with Humbrol satin cote (thinned with white spirit)
11. chest decal dark grey no. 32, black no. 33 and yellow no. 81 seal with satin cote, apply when dry.

Guest/Moderator: Andy Serwer, Managing Editor, Fortune Magazine Guest: Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), currently a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center and former Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship With Congress mired in gridlock, support for small business is one of the few policy areas that brings both sides together, from the Small Business Jobs Act to reauthorization of the SBIR program to the JOBS Act. What gave these bills a pathway to success? What lessons can we learn from these examples, and how might they point toward bipartisanship on other issues? Andy Serwer will host a conversation between Mills and her Republican guest discussing how they bridged the gap to help small businesses start, grow and succeed.

President Obama's Terrorist-Fighting Fail
posted at 2:20 pm on June 13, 2009 by Jimmie Bise, Jr
I'm having a difficult time figuring out how, exactly, the Obama administration figures that exporting Islamic terrorists to the island of Palau is a successful way to fight terrorism.
It seems to me that detaining highly-radicalized trained terrorists, fattening them up on halal victuals and giving them top-shelf health care, then turning them loose on the helpless and angry citizenry of an island paradise would make for one hell of an al-Qaeda recruiting pitch.
The Obama decision strikes me as a triumph of politics over national security and common sense. By bashing Guantanamo Bay as hard as he did during the campaign, the President painted himself into a corner. He can't keep Gitmo open right now (though reneging on his word later still remains a viable option, since the vociferous left has a very short and selective memory) and he's been forced to maintain his hard line in public speeches. On the other hand, he's learned that Gitmo is, by far, the best option for keeping potentially dangerous killers from killing again and that it's far from the Chamber of Horrors the anti-war crowd made it out to be.
What's a career politician to do? Well, in the President's case, he figured that farming the detainees out to a bunch of other countries would solve his problems. He didn't exactly expect the ringing laughter from about 100 countries when he sent his diplomats forth to pitch the idea. It gives me hope to know that most of the world thinks that importing a ready-made terror cell is not the smartest idea in the world.
So, having been turned down by nearly the entire world, the President found Palau. Now, thirteen Islamists doesn't sound like a lot, but Palau isn't just any country. It has a smaller population that you find in most major league ballparks. Last night's Stanley Cup Game Seven drew almost as many people as live on Palau. Adding 13 Uighur terrorists to a nation with a population of about 21,000 would be the equivalent of the United States accepting 188,227 Islamists. That's more than the population of Salt Lake City (UT), Knoxville (TN), Little Rock (AR), or Fort Lauderdale (FL) and a little less than Mobile (AL) or Augusta (GA).
I'm thinking that al-Qaeda could quit sending out terrorists altogether. The President seems to be willing to take that job over himself.

Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area is located approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Hwy. 15 in lower Concordia Parish. It lies between the Mississippi and Red Rivers beginning north of Lower Old River. Louisiana State Hwy. 15, Hwy. 910, and a gravel levee provide all weather access. Gravel oil field roads and numerous woods roads traverse the interior. Additional access is available by boat along the Red River and numerous bayous that traverse the WMA.
Richard K. Yancey WMA presently consists of 69,806 acres. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries owns 57,004 acres and an additional 12,802 acres is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The terrain is typically flat to depressed, with only significant changes in relief being elevated roads, levees, and a large man-made sand ridge. Numerous small lakes and bayous are formed by this relatively poor drainage pattern and a large portion of the land is subject to annual spring flooding by the Red and Mississippi Rivers. This highly productive spring overflow conditions produces excellent sport and commercial fishing.
Timber consists of mixed bottomland hardwood. The primary overstory species are bitter pecan, overcup oak, Nuttall oak, cypress, sweet pecan, honey locust, hackberry, sycamore, and green ash. Cottonwood and willow occur in almost pure stands along the man-made sand ridge.
Approximately 265,000 hardwood seedlings have been planted on approximately 800 acres of former agricultural lands. Abandoned oil well sites and rights-of-way are clipped annually and maintained as wildlife openings.
Game species attracting the greatest hunter participation are deer, turkey, squirrel, rabbit, waterfowl, woodcock, dove, and snipe. Furbearers available to trappers are raccoon, mink, nutria, beaver, bobcat, fox, otter, and coyote.
An annual public lottery alligator hunt allows successful applicants to take 3 alligators each.
The area offers excellent sport and limited commercial fishing opportunities. Species caught are bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Commercial species primarily caught are buffalo, carp, drum, gar, bowfin, and catfish. Craw fishing and frogging are also very popular on this area.
Endangered species which may occur on the Richard K. Yancey WMA are LA Black Bear and Bald Eagle.
A green tree reservoir and agricultural waterfowl projects are operational.
Five primitive camping areas are available and maintained by the Department. All weather access is provided and a source of potable water is available at the Shell Road camping area.
Additional information may be obtained from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Opelousas Region Office, 5652 Hwy. 182, Opelousas, La. 70570. (337) 948-0255.

Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in your bladder — a balloon-shaped organ in your pelvic area that stores urine.
Bladder cancer begins most often in the cells that line the inside of the bladder. Bladder cancer typically affects older adults, though it can occur at any age.
The great majority of bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage — when bladder cancer is highly treatable. However, even early-stage bladder cancer is likely to recur. For this reason, bladder cancer survivors often undergo follow-up tests for years after treatment to look for bladder cancer recurrence.
Bladder cancer signs and symptoms may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, such as blood in your urine.
It's not always clear what causes bladder cancer. Bladder cancer has been linked to smoking, a parasitic infection, radiation and chemical exposure.
Bladder cancer develops when cells in the bladder begin to grow abnormally. Rather than grow and divide in an orderly way, these cells develop mutations that cause them to grow out of control and not die. These abnormal cells form a tumor.
Different types of cells in your bladder can become cancerous. The type of bladder cell where cancer begins determines the type of bladder cancer. Your bladder cancer type determines which treatments may work best for you.
Types of bladder cancer include:
Some bladder cancers include more than one type of cell.
Factors that may increase your risk of bladder cancer include:
Bladder cancer often recurs. Because of this, bladder cancer survivors often must undergo follow-up testing for years after successful treatment. What tests you'll undergo and how often will depend on your type of bladder cancer and your treatment, among other factors.
Ask your doctor to create a follow-up plan for you. In general, doctors recommend a test to examine the inside of your urethra and bladder (cystoscopy) every three to six months for the first few years after bladder cancer treatment. Then you may undergo cystoscopy every year. Your doctor may recommend other tests at various intervals as well.
People with aggressive cancers may undergo more frequent testing. Those with less aggressive cancers may undergo testing less often.
Start by seeing your family doctor or a primary doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. Your doctor may suggest tests and procedures to investigate your signs and symptoms.
If your doctor suspects you may have bladder cancer, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating diseases and conditions of the urinary tract (urologist). In some cases, you may be referred to other specialists, such as doctors who treat cancer (oncologists).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For bladder cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose bladder cancer may include:
Once it's confirmed that you have bladder cancer, your doctor may order additional tests to determine the extent (stage) of the cancer. Staging tests may include:
The stages of bladder cancer are:
Your treatment options for bladder cancer depend on a number of factors, including the type and stage of the cancer, your overall health, and your treatment preferences. Discuss your options with your doctor to determine what treatments are best for you.
If your cancer is very small and hasn't invaded the wall of your bladder, your doctor may recommend:
Biological therapy (immunotherapy). Biological therapy, sometimes called immunotherapy, works by signaling your body's immune system to help fight cancer cells. Biological therapy for bladder cancer is typically administered through your urethra and directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy).
One biological therapy drug used to treat bladder cancer is bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), which is a bacterium used in tuberculosis vaccines. Another biological therapy drug is a synthetic version of interferon, which is a protein your immune system makes to help fight infections. The synthetic version, called interferon alfa-2b (Intron A), is sometimes used in combination with BCG.
Biological therapy drugs often cause flu-like symptoms and can irritate your bladder.
If your cancer has invaded the deeper layers of the bladder wall, you may consider:
Surgery to remove the entire bladder. A radical cystectomy is an operation to remove the entire bladder, as well as surrounding lymph nodes. In men, radical cystectomy typically includes removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles. In women, radical cystectomy involves removal of the uterus, ovaries and part of the vagina.
Increasingly, radical cystectomy is performed using robotic surgery, which means the surgeon sits nearby and uses hand controls to precisely move the surgical instruments.
Cystectomy carries a risk of infection and bleeding. In men, removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles may cause erectile dysfunction. But in select cases, your surgeon can attempt to spare the nerves necessary for an erection. In women, removal of the ovaries causes infertility and premature menopause.
Surgery to create a new way for urine to leave your body. Immediately after your radical cystectomy, your surgeon works to create a new way for you to expel urine. Several options exist. Which option is best for you depends on your situation and your preferences.
Your surgeon may create a tube (urinary conduit) using a piece of your intestine. The tube runs from your ureters, which drain your kidneys, to the outside of your body, where your urine empties into a pouch (urostomy bag) you wear on your abdomen.
In another procedure, your surgeon may use a section of intestine to create a small reservoir for urine inside your body (cutaneous continent urinary diversion). You can drain urine from the reservoir through a hole in your abdomen using a catheter a few times each day.
In select cases, your surgeon may create a bladder-like reservoir out of a piece of your intestine (neobladder). This reservoir sits inside your body and is attached to your urethra, which allows you to urinate normally. You may need to use a catheter to drain all the urine from your neobladder.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy treatment for bladder cancer usually involves two or more chemotherapy drugs used in combination. Drugs can be given through a vein in your arm (intravenously), or they can be administered directly to your bladder by passing a tube through your urethra (intravesical therapy).
Chemotherapy may be used to kill cancer cells that might remain after surgery. It may also be used before surgery. In this case, chemotherapy may shrink a tumor enough to allow the surgeon to perform a less invasive surgery. Chemotherapy is sometimes combined with radiation therapy in very select cases when surgery isn't an option.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams aimed at your cancer to destroy the cancer cells. Radiation therapy for bladder cancer usually is delivered from a machine that moves around your body, directing the energy beams to precise points.
Radiation therapy can be used after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. In very select cases, radiation therapy is sometimes combined with chemotherapy when surgery isn't an option, though this is generally considered an option of last resort.
Living with the concern that your bladder cancer may recur can leave you feeling as if you have little control over your future. But while there's no way to ensure that your bladder cancer won't recur, you can take steps to manage the stress.
Over time you'll find what works for you, but until then, you might:
Although there's no guaranteed way to prevent bladder cancer, you can take steps to help reduce your risk. For instance:

The drop in spending during the latest January transfer window proves that clubs are choosing a more cautious financial approach, according to Arsène Wenger.
This time last year sizeable sums were being spent with Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll fetching particularly large fees, while last summer's transfer window was also busy with Arsenal among the most active clubs.
However trading figures were down year-on-year from £225million in January 2011 to £29million going into this month's deadline day and Wenger believes it is a response to the global economic downturn.
"The figures show you [that there is more caution]," said the Frenchman.
"You must say as well that you had big transfers last year with Torres, Carroll and David Luiz. This package alone was about £100million, but still there is a significant difference because we are in a recession period and everybody suffers.
"I don't know if you have seen the numbers in Europe but there are 1.6bn Euro losses [among football clubs, according to a Uefa report], that's not debt but losses.
"That is absolutely amazing. That means tomorrow if you had to stop your activity, half of Europe would be bankrupt.
"It means that football has to respond and I don't know if financial fair play will come in, but it looks like economically the whole of Europe is becoming a bit more cautious."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

This year was Microsoft's last year at CES. Next year, they will not have the mammoth "booth" they've typically held at the main entrance of the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. MS said that there was nothing personal about pulling out – it was just that their product launch cycle didn't match up with the timing of the show.
This news came as a shock to many convention goers, as well as myself. So, as I walked into the MS booth looking for new tech, I almost expected to find nothing. I just didn't expect there would be anything new.
Boy, was I wrong.
As I was walking through the huge amount of computers, games, phones and software at the MS booth, I stumbled across a few things that really got me thinking. One of them was the phones. Over the last year, MS came out with their answer to iOS and Android. This new OS, called simply "Windows Phone", is way different than anything else out there. At its core is Windows power, as you would expect, and at its front is what they are calling "tiles".
Tiles are kinda cool, and go beyond the screen that you see above. You can scroll left and right through all of them and choose what you want to do with your phone, like update to show you things that you are interested in: email accounts, Facebook updates, calendar info etc. When you touch them, you are launched into the app you need.
Another thing I found at the MS booth was the Windows 8 demo. If you have been reading WS for a while, you have probably read about a few Windows 8 features already. 8 is also a totally different look and feel. MS has replaced the Windows 7 aero interface with what it is calling "Metro" – it's much more square and large and is tailored to work with both PCs and tablets alike.
Along with the Metro Interface comes a new start menu… and this is where it gets interesting. You see, the new start menu on Windows 8 also uses a set of tiles. These tiles move from side to side and update to show you things you would be interested in on your PC. Like the Windows 8 phone, they update to show you things things like email accounts, Facebook updates and calendar info.
Sound familiar? Look familiar?
It would seem that MS is working on something more than just a phone and PC here – more than just a tablet and a laptop. MS is working on an ecosystem.
Imagine having Windows 8 and using the new tile start menu. After using it for a while and getting used to it, you decide that it's time for a smartphone. If you had the option to get a phone that looked and worked the same as your Windows PC, would you be interested? I would. If you have the option of getting a tablet that ran Windows 8 instead of something you've never used before, would you?
Sounds like MS has a plan.

Dear End Times Investor, Entrepreneur, and Saver:
WELCOME! You're here because, like every canny individual, you know that you can't spell "financial responsibility" without the A, the P, the O, the C, the A, the L, the Y, the P, the S, and the E of "apocalypse."
You know not only that the Rapture can take place at any moment, but that when it does you'll most likely not "make the cut," and be left behind here with the rest of us.
And you know that, while such a fate might be disappointing to some, to others—like us; like you—it offers a series of amazing opportunities for financial gains.
While some might see the rise of the Antichrist as a harbinger of doom and destruction, we see it as a chance to achieve solid returns by shorting his bonds.
While some might view the War of the Second Seal as a bloody nightmare of rampaging foot-soldiers, we see it as a chance to score big by investing in sword, shield, and spiked club manufacturers.
While some might consider it a catastrophe when a star made of wormwood falls from outer space and pollutes all of the Earth's fresh water sources, we see it as a chance to rack up "tasty" profits by selling shares in a can of mandarin orange segments.
So take a look around. Peruse this site. And be sure to bookmark it for future reference. We'll be blogging regularly with timely updates about how you can take cool, calculated advantage of breaking events to improve your portfolio even as those around you are losing their heads, feet, or various other appendages.
And remember (as we say in our Rapture Financial Minutes, playable here on the site), "Just Because It's the End Times Doesn't Mean You Can't Make Money."
All best,
Steve and Evie Levy
A: No. Although the Rapture is imminent, we dont know exactly when it will take place, and you could be facing several rate increases on your ARM before it gets here.
Besides, even when the Tribulation ends and Jesus does arrive, He will not pay off your mortgage. We may not be Christians, but even we know thats not what He is all about. Therefore we suggest getting a fixed-rate mortgage with a monthly payment you know you will be able to afford until the end of the world. But if you havent yet gotten into the real estate market, stay out. Why sink your cash into a down payment and the upkeep of a house if apocalyptic devastation is around the corner? Keep renting.

Michigan state won 27-17 against Idaho. Stanton had a good game with 225 yards and a touchdown. Ringer had 16 carries for 70 yards with a touchdown. Overall, both teams did pretty well (for the first game of the season)
