Was hoping we might be able to tunnel into a keep sapper style oh well...
And gief giant asura golem siege suits! Awesome
Sounds Fantastic I just hope that the Clone's actions are slightly more varied than just standing still and spamming the Mesmer's primary nuke, otherwise it just sounds like a wow mage's mirror image (only without built in aoe resistance).
Also a little confused by the thief's 'steal' (in terms of PVP) if anyone can help me out. I know the thief steals a weapon from the profession, but does that mean they have access to all the skills associated with that weapon or just one particular skill, or is it a completely different type of skill? Like steal a Mesmer's mask and use it as a boomerang

Black Bean Soup
Miami's official sopa of the day, sometimes spooned over white rice. Recipe adapted from Miami Spice: The New Florida Cuisine by Steven Raichlen (1993).
1 pound dried black beans
1/2 green bell pepper, cored and seeded
2 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, cut in half
1 whole clove
5 ounces bacon, cut into 1/4-inch slivers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded & finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup sour cream, for garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion greens, for garnish
Prepare the beans: The day before cooking, spread the beans on a baking sheet and pick through them, removing any pebbles. Rinse the beans thoroughly in a strainer under cold running water. Place the beans in a large, heavy pot and add 8 cups of water. Let soak overnight in the refrigerator.
Add the bell pepper and garlic to the pot. Pin the bay leaf to the onion with the clove, and add it to the pot. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat, loosely cover the pan, and simmer the beans, stirring occasionally, until tender, about one hour. (The beans can also be cooked in a 6-quart pressure cooker. Black beans shouldn't cause a frothing problem, but watch the pressure. The cooking time will be about 30 to 40 minutes.)
Prepare the soup: Brown the bacon in a large heavy frying pan, three to four minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off the fat from the pan.
Add the olive oil to the pan, followed by the onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are soft but not brown, four to five minutes.
Stir the sautéed vegetables and bacon into the beans, along with the wine, vinegar, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, and salt and pepper. Cover and gently simmer the soup, until the beans are very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove and discard the bay leaves. Using a slotted spoon, transfer two cups of the beans to a bowl and mash with the back of a wooden spoon or a pestle. Stir this mixture back into the soup to give it a creamy consistency. Correct the seasonings, adding salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of the scallion greens.
Servings: Serves eight.
Chimichurri Sauce
A tangy vinaigrette originally from Argentina used as a marinade and served with steaks; it's so common in Miami that the local grocery stores sell it packaged with raw cuts of beef. Recipe adapted from MMMMiami: Tempting Tropical Tastes for Home Cooks Everywhere by Carole Kotkin and Kathy Martin (1998).
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup malt or cider vinegar
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons dry-leaf oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine oil, vinegar, parsley, garlic, oregano, pepper, and pepper flakes in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Let sit for at least two hours for the flavors to blend. Measure out one-third cup for the steak marinade (place this set-aside sauce and the meat in a self-sealing food storage bag in refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight before grilling meat). Add the salt to the remaining sauce. Shake to mix before serving on the side with the grilled steaks.
Servings: Makes about one and one-third cups.
Los Ranchos' Tres Leches
A light cake soaked in three kinds of milk (the name literally means "three milks") served in Latin restaurants throughout Miami, including Los Ranchos Nicaraguan steakhouse.
1 cup sugar, divided
5 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Milk Syrup:
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon light rum
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 cup water
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Beat 3/4 cup sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy, about five minutes. Fold in milk, vanilla, flour and baking powder. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks, adding cream of tartar after 20 seconds. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and continue beating until whites are glossy and firm but not dry. Gently fold whites into yolk mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cake cool completely on a wire rack. While cake is cooking, make the Milk Syrup and Meringue.
For the Milk Syrup: Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream, vanilla and rum in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
For Meringue: Place 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in heavy saucepan with water. Cover and cook over high heat two minutes. Uncover pan and cook the sugar to the soft-ball stage (239 degrees Fahrenheit) on a candy thermometer or six to eight minutes). Meanwhile, beat egg whites to soft peaks with cream of tartar in electric mixer. Add remaining two tablespoons sugar gradually, continuing beating to stiff peaks. Pour boiling sugar syrup in a thin stream into the whites and continue beating until mixture is cool to the touch. The hot syrup "cooks" the whites.
Unmold cake onto a deep, large platter. Pierce cake all over with a fork. Pour Milk Syrup over cake. Spoon the overflow back on top until all is absorbed. Using a wet spatula, spread top and sides of cake with a thick layer of Meringue. Refrigerate the cake covered at least two hours before serving.
Servings: Serves eight to ten.

My shooting buddy has the Solo he paid just under 700 for it. I have the CW9 I paid just under 400 for mine. I am very pleased with the CW9. I is a sound very nicely put together quality weapon that makes holes right in the last holes. It needed to be cleaned and have some rounds put down range but it is 100% reliable and a real keeper. easy to hide even with summer clothes and the recoil is very managable. The trigger took some getting used to because it is a bit long but it is true and consistanly the same.
My buddies Solo is beautiful to see and great to hold and shoots very nicely, I can shoot the CW9 more consistantly but that may not be the gun it may just be what I am used to. The Solo has a 1911 type saftey and the S/A trigger pull is shorter, smooth and steady. It is wider then the CW9 and looks like a more expensive weapon. The frame on the Solo is a sweet Aluminum fram The Kahr is a Polymer frame. I like the Aluminum frame a lot! I carry the CW often and shoot it regularily and have no regrets. Matt loves his Solo and is very happy he got it. I do not think he would trade it for any other weapon there is. His only bummer is that it is a conceal weapon and he rarely gets to show it to anyone. It is nice enough that you want too say check out this beauty!!!!! But he goes by the always carry never tell mantra..

On June 11, the Multilingual WorldWideScience.org BETA was officially launched in Helsinki, Finland at the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) annual conference. This new capability is the result of an international public-private partnership between the WorldWideScience.org Alliance and Microsoft Research, whose translations technology has been paired with the federated searching technology of Deep Web Technologies.
By Walt Warnick and Peter Lincoln
Discovery services have begun to appear in the search landscape. Discovery services provide access to documents from publishers with which they have relationships by indexing the publishers' metadata and/or full text. Discovery services are marketed to libraries where patrons appreciate near-instantaneous search results and where library staff is willing to restrict access to sources available from the service (and optionally the library's own holdings.) While these services tout themselves as improvements to federated search, the reality is that there is no alternative to federated search for a number of important applications.
Many casual users of federated search criticize the technology for being slow to retrieve results. Serious researchers recognize the unique ability of federated search engines to mine the deep Web for quality science information that Google cannot find. These users recognize that there is no practical alternative to federated search for the best information.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Such is the justification and hope for visualizations. Examples of enlightening visualizations are structural models of molecules like the carbon-60 Bucky Ball used in OSTI's recent YouTube video. The model shows a carbon atom at each intersection of molecular bonds.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter Bulletin, January 24, 1997
This is an update of MPP activity at ARSC. The Newsletter is still on vacation, but will be back in a month or two.
If you have questions concerning the T3D at ARSC, or to subscribe or unsubscribe to the Newsletter, send your request to:
- Tom Baring, ARSC Consultant, 907-474-1899 arsc_mpp AT arsc.edu
ARSC's T3E to Arrive in Early March
ARSC is upgrading to an 88 PE, 128 mbyte per PE, liquid cooled, CRAY T3E. We expect that it will be available to general users in early April.
Meanwhile, the T3D will remain operational until late April, providing a period of overlap with the T3E. This overlap should provide a chance for users to migrate and test their codes on the T3E while continuing production runs on the T3D.
Welcome to ARSC's New MPP Specialist, Guy Robinson
I am delighted to introduce a new colleague, Guy Robinson.
Guy hit the permafrost running, and, thus, hasn't had the time to put together a home page yet. So you can't see his picture. However, I can tell you a few things. Guy earned an MA in theoretical physics at Cambridge University in Cambridge, England. He worked as a consultant on a project to develop a parallel version of the IFS global forecasting model at the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting in the U.K., programming several MPP systems including T3D's up to 1024 nodes. Most recently, he worked on HPF and "development tools for effective parallel computing" at the European Centre for Parallel Computing at Vienna, Austria.
Guy's primary responsibility at ARSC will be managing the T3E, from the software and user point-of-view.
Other Events at ARSC
We have completed our upgrades to Programming Environment 2.O and UNICOS 9.0 (PE1.0 is gone: if you're having problems finding libraries or compilers, please read news pe2.0 and news UNICOS_9.0 ). We are in the process of upgrading all of our SGI's to IRIX 6.2, have recently acquired 12 SGI O2 desktop workstations, and will soon bring an SGI Onyx 2 on line.
We still have open staffing positions. See ARSC's job listings.
Quick-Tip Q&A
I confess: I don't have an answer to the question posed in the last Newsletter (and, of course, this is the one time nobody has responded). "In 'vi' is there a way to tell which column the cursor is in?" Any ideas?

Mayor Bloomberg Makes His First Saturday Night Live Cameo [VIDEO]
(Ben Yakas) Mayor Bloomberg has been in a noticeably light-hearted mood recently—throwing off the shackles of 12 years in public office seems to have done wonders for his golf game. In that spirit, Bloomberg popped up during note-writing buddy Jimmy Fallon's episode of Saturday Night Live last night. This was Bloomberg's first ever appearance on SNL—and more shockingly, he was kind of funny!
Bloomberg made the surprise cameo during Weekend Update, with Seth Meyers asking him what he planned to do after leaving office: "Fulfilling a lifelong dream of enjoying a small soda on a non-smoking beach." He noted he didn't have a new job lined up, but "I've applied to teach Spanish at a few universities. I'm told that my accent isn't, quote, 'bueno' enough."
He even got an ad lib on air, according to the Times, in response to whether he would ever consider running for president: "Seth, I don't know what the future holds. President? Pope? Naked cowboy?"

What is a breast reduction?
A breast reduction is the surgical reshaping of the breast to make it smaller. Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, involves removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce breast size. Some people seek breast reduction for cosmetic or aesthetic reasons. Your doctor may also recommend it if large breasts are causing discomfort, back problems, or other health problems.
Breast reduction surgery is a common but major surgery with significant risks and potential complications. You may have less invasive treatment. Consider getting a second opinion about all your choices before having breast reduction surgery.
Types of breast reduction surgery
The types of breast reduction procedures include:
Free nipple graft (FNG) involves removing your nipple and grafting it in a new location on your breast. Your surgeon removes breast tissue while your nipple is off, and then grafts your nipple back into place.
Liposuction involves injection and suction of fatty tissue and usually leaves little or no scarring.
Pedicle method involves making a circular incision around your areola (the dark area that surrounds your nipple) to remove breast tissue.
Anchor incision is an extension of the pedicle method with an incision that runs vertically down from the areola to the bottom of your breast and into a semi-circle around the bottom of your breast. This makes an anchor-like incision.
LeJour incision is an extension of the pedicle method with an incision that runs vertically down from the areola to the bottom of your breast and stops at your chest wall.
Stevens laser bra uses a laser and the extra skin that would normally be discarded to create a permanent internal support structure for your breasts.
Other procedures that may be performed
Your surgeon may perform other procedures in addition to breast reduction surgery. The most common combination is a breast reduction with a breast lift (mastopexy). A breast lift is a procedure to boost sagging or loose breasts.

First, it's a topical pain reliever. It's for treating pain from injury and trauma.
Second, it's a skin protectant. It contains vitamins, antioxidants, and lipids to protect and help skin to heal. Plus, it allows your skin to retain its breathability and moisture control, unlike most of our competitors. (For instance, if you do any bone conditioning exercises our product will keep your skin strong and healthy for quick healing and repair.
Third, it's an antimicrobial. We sent Battle Balm to an independent lab for bacterial and fungal testing. It killed off the most common strains (per USP 51) that we humans suffer from. So, you can treat your closed wound injuries and painful areas with the sense that you will be well protected against outside infection. (You do want to get back into the gym and train ASAP, right?)
Those are the three top things that Battle Balm represents. Also, since we are tree-huggers that love this planet, we've created Battle Balm to be completely sustainable. There are only organic and natural plant ingredients inside. That's it. Over half of our plant ingredients are 100% USDA organic. So, it's safer for your skin and body. The bevy of plants also give Battle Balm 20 uses outside of pain relief. (Visit our website to see all of the other ways you can use Battle Balm in your life!)
Battle Balm was created specifically for MMA and fighters to help them stop pain and heal injuries. There's no other product on the market quite like ours. (We know because we've looked!) It comes in 3 strengths, Original, Extra, and Demon. If you have any other questions, please ask!

By Megan Walsh, GoHeels.com
After a disappointing loss Saturday to Georgia Tech, the North Carolina football team is rebounding as well as possible looking ahead to its next ACC matchup.
With just a quick week of three days to prepare for Thursday's night game in Charlottesville, Va., against UVA, coach Larry Fedora has been pleased with his team's 180-degree turnaround.
"We came out here with a great attitude, excited to be out here," Fedora said after Tuesday's practice. "We don't have a choice. The practices have been what we wanted. They've been focused, they've been moving around. It's been really good both days."
Fedora said the biggest challenge of a short week is to prepare the team mentally for another game in an atypical routine. That means the Tar Heels shifted to a more simplified approach in practice to keep guys fresh for Thursday night's action.
The Cavaliers snapped a six-game losing streak two weeks ago with a key conference win against NC State and picked up another victory against Miami last weekend. Fedora said that improved team will prove a challenge for the Tar Heels.
"They have become a really good football team," Fedora said. "They're playing with a lot of confidence right now. They're taking care of the football. They can throw it, they're running the ball effectively and they've been playing solid defense all the way through and the same on special teams."
Cornerback Jabari Price said after a few "phenomenal" practices this week, North Carolina is well prepared for what Virginia will bring. Price said that although Virginia will test the defense's discipline, they are up to the challenge.
"Everyone has to do their job," he said. "You've got to do your one level in the defense. The moment you let the team down, you hurt the offense, the defense and the coaches, so we've just got to come out and do our job and trust the guy next to us to do his as well."
Price also said the team has benefited from senior leadership in preparing for a new game. Senior linebacker Kevin Reddick sat the defense down Sunday and inspired the unit to move past their loss to the Yellow Jackets and regain confidence.
"I'm very confident," Price said. "There's no doubt in my mind. We fitted up every pass, every running route, and I can't wait. I just can't wait."

Sea-level rise: Where we stand at the start of 2013
Progress has been made in recent years in understanding the observed past sea-level rise. As a result, process-based projections of future sea-level rise have become dramatically higher and are now closer to semi-empirical projections. However, process-based models still underestimate past sea-level rise, and they still project a smaller rise than semi-empirical models.
Sea-level projections were probably the most controversial aspect of the 4th IPCC report, published in 2007. As an author of the paleoclimate chapter, I was involved in some of the sea-level discussions during preparation of the report, but I was not part of the writing team for the projections. At the core of the controversy were the IPCC-projections which are based on process models (i.e. models that aim to simulate individual processes like thermal expansion or glacier melt). Many scientists felt that these models were not mature and understated the sea-level rise to be expected in future, and the IPCC report itself documented the fact that the models seriously underestimated past sea-level rise. (See our in-depth discussion published after the 4th IPCC report appeared.) That was confirmed again with the most recent data in Rahmstorf et al. 2012.
As a result of the IPCC-discussions, in 2006 I developed a complementary approach to estimating future sea-level rise and offered it to IPCC (but it was not used); this was published in Science in 2007 (and with over 300 citations to date it turned out to be the second-most-cited of the ~10,000 sea-level papers that were published since 2007). This "semi-empirical approach" linked the rate of global sea-level rise to global temperature in a simple physically motivated equation, calibrated with past data. It suggested that sea-level might rise about twice as much by 2100 AD as predicted by IPCC. My main conclusion was not that semi-empirical models are necessarily better, but that "the uncertainty in future sea-level rise is probably larger than previously estimated". We will come back to this issue, i.e. the overall uncertainty across different model types and using all available information, in part 2 of this post.
Much higher projections than IPCC are also a consistent feature of more recent assessments published since 2007, e.g. the Antarctic Science Report, the Copenhagen Diagnosis, the Arctic Report of AMAP and the recent World Bank Report. Higher projections are also commonly used in coastal planning, e.g. in the Netherlands, in California and North Carolina, and included in the recommendations of the US Army Corps of Engineers. And last month NOAA published the following new sea-level scenarios for the US National Climate Assessment:
Fig. 1. Source: Global Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States National Climate Assessment, NOAA (2012)
The range intermediate-low to intermediate-high of 0.5-1.2 meters is almost the same as the range 0.5-1.4 meters of my 2007 Science paper.

Axle-to-Axle, is longer really better?
Everyone has always said longer axle-to-axle bows are more forgiving. With a lot of the bows getting shorter, I was wondering what makes longer more forgiving. Is this in fact true, let's look at some things to figure out why or why not.
A longer A-to-A bow has more weight further from the pivot point thus making it harder to cant the bow and/or helping it balance better. Maybe even help keep it level during the shot.
Depending on draw length, the longer bow will have less steep string angle. Is this better, is it really an issue if your shooting a release? With most companies developing level nock travel cams, is this an issue? And what makes a 40" bow better than a 38" bow. Can you see a difference in score on a 300, Field, Fita round?
Todays short axles bows have much longer risers than the majority of older bows. You also have more weight. This should negate the weight and balance issue between long and so called short bows.
Many people that shoot the shorter bows state that they hold or aim like a long axle bow. I think there are two factors creating this feeling.
First the parallel limb creates a ridge frame at full draw that is much different than the older style bows with short risers and long limbs.
Second, the long risers; Some are 25" or more. By having mass weight farther from the pivot point or grip, this gives the shooter the feel and balance of a long axle bow in a much shorter package.
Another thought is the new shorter limbs. The old bows had short riser and long limbs. Long limbs would mean more flexiblity. To me this means more chance of torquing the bow. The short parallel limbs make it harder to torque because they do not flex as easily. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just easier to have no torque on the parallel system versus the traditional limbed bows.
Ten years ago, a 38" bow would have been called extremely short. Yet today we are seeing some very high scores being shot with 38" and less bows. Today the 38" is consider long by many people.
If a long axle bow is necessary to be accurate, then how is it that Chris White broke a double 70m record shooting a Mathews Switchback. This guy can probably shoot any bow he chooses. Why would he compete with this short bow if a longer bow shoot better? The answer is he wouldn't. Chris White also has a long draw length of greater than 30". Which also would be considered taboo by some on such a short axle bow.
Tournament scores and records are being broken today with bows the defy the notion that longer is better. Many of the top scores are being recorded on bows that 5 years ago were considered too short to shoot accurately. I think proven scores and new bow technology is forcing people to re-think the longer is better mentality.Chris Christenson - Admin

Good write up Chris. Thats food for thought. Another thing we got to consider about these short bows is that most of them are sporting some really large cams and wheels some in excess of four inches in diameter. When you look at the total length of these bows you will see that they really aren't as short we like to advertise.

I think it is the longer riser providing the "longer feel" - not so much the bigger cams - all of the contact points (cable posts) at full draw rotate to a point very close to the axles, meaning that the forces applied (the feel) would be at the axle to axle length, not outside of cam to outside of cam length - there are no forces at the outside of the cam = "no feel".
01-16-2006, 02:03 PM #5Originally Posted by Next Ridge Over
The string does roll over the top portion of the cam which sits outside the axles. Good point Ross! There are forces out side the axles - not sure what I was thinking. I had to go draw my bow and the minute I did the light came on
The length from outside of cam to the axle would act as a momentum arm on each end of the bow and I'm not sure this would contribute to a steady aim/feel. I agree that the bigger cams provide a better string angle and that silky draw but I still feel that the stability and longer axle-axle "feel" comes from the longer riser. Just my opion.
I do like to shoot them - that is about all I REALLY know. Thanks for keeping me straight

Axle to Axle Length ??????????
I have shot both short and long and prefer the longer bow because to me it does feel more forgiving. But I am sure it is because of my shooting ability which is very poor at the moment. The person that shot the high score with the SwitchBack was he an acomplished archer? If so look at Dan Mcarthy he is shooting the long Axle to Axle bow and he is also winning everything. But he like the other person have access to technical and professional help at all times so I am sure there equipment has some edge that the amature archer is not privey to. Not complaining just trying to make point and the point is when an professional makes a shot with what ever type of bow it will certainly be a great shot, with more control and alot less mistakes.

Aaron Ramsey is targeting a season of goals.
The young midfielder has showed signs of his brilliant best over the last few weeks for Arsène Wenger's side, particularly going forward.
Ramsey has already netted twice so far this season - including a crucial late winner at Marseille - and the 20-year-old says he can deliver even more.
"I like to get forward and into the box," the Welshman said. "My target is to get into double figures so hopefully I can do that this season. It's always a nice feeling when you score a goal so yes, hopefully I can do that."
Ramsey was exceptional at Stamford Bridge on Saturday but emphasised the collective not the individual.
"I go out in every game to play as well as I can and help the team get the right result," he said. "I think everyone played their part against Chelsea.
"I think it was a massive win for us, we performed really well as a team," he added. "We created lots of opportunities and we took a lot of them, so we can take a lot from that game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

It is not known exactly when Avignonesi's cellars were built, but they are doubtless among the most ancient in Italy. Palazzo Avignonesi was built according to a design by Jacopo Barozzi (called Vignola) in the second half of the XVI century and it has always been the cellars' seat.
In 1974 the Falvo brothers, owners of the vineyards in the municipality of Cortona, took over Avignonesi and refounded it investing greatly in viniculture, selecting the local varieties and introducing classical ones such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir. Nowadays, Avignonesi consists of four wine-producing estates: Le Capezzine, I Poggetti, La Selva and La Lombarda. In total they comprise 218 hectares of open ground, 103 ha of vineyards and 7 ha of olive groves. View all Avignonesi Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

I am new to XBMC and my english is not very well, so sorry for that..
Well, I have a litte problem with XBMC (and Aeon, but I think my problem has nothing to do with the skin)
My situation is more or less simple:
For now, I have a "Movies" folder with all my Movies inside it (surprise surprise)
Like this:
Movies -> 300 -> 300.avi
Now, I have installed XBMC and the Aeon skin (its so awsom :nod
when I klick on Movies, it shows me nothing but an option to pick an location of my video files.
OK, I selected my Movies Folder.
Well, an now there are a few thinks, where i dont know how to fix them!
Every time I klick on "Movies", XBMC shows me his "File Browser" with only one entry, ... my Movies folder...... why?! I want klick on "Movies" and get directly to my movies (which are subfolders under the Movies folder)!
How do i get posters?
I know, when you put a "300.tbn" next to the "300.avi" video file, you see this poster when selecting the .avi file (or whatever) instead of a generated preview picture.
But, when selecting the folder "300", it displays only the default "this is an Folder"-picture, an NOT the 300 Poster! (which is obviosly the only video/picture-file inside of this folder).
and at last:
In these sweet demonstration videos i saw, when you select a movie, you always geht a nice "demonstration page" of the movie, with a cool Background, the Poster, and the discription of the Movie!
When I click my Movie ( which means the .avi/.mpg, whatever file ), it just starts playing!
What must I do, to get this Descriptions, Covers, ect.?
Is there any good and simple (accent on good and simple) how-to out there?
How do i set up these cool looking movie-poster-description-things?

Key is to (re)name the files the right way. Mostly it should be sufficient to rename the files like the following: NAME (DATE) ANYTHING ELSE.extention
Get the date of the movie at imdb.com, or whichever site you want to use XBMC's scrapers on.
Some examples:
300 (2006).avi
300 (2006) famous qoute - you've threatened my people with--.avi
300 (2006) Directors Cut.mkv
After that, in XBMC navigate to (onto it, not in it) the folder that contains all movies and hit C followed by "Set Content". In there set the content of the folder to movies and select a scraper for a site you wan't to get the information from, f.e. imdb.com. After you've done that hit C on the folder again an select "scan for new content", now XBMC should extract all the info from the specific site you set the scraper for and add it to a internal library file (which you can delete manually under %appdata%\XBMC\UserData\Database\ ). After this has finished, look on the left of XBMC's UI where you should see the option "Library Mode" activate it, and it allows you to sort all your movies and other files by different modes of choice. And using different list views. Switch through the view modes (again on the left side of the UI, you might have to press <- (left) to get it to appear), once you've found your movies in the Library, to get to your desired coverart/backgroundimage/movieinfo view, which is only available in one of the two skins for XBMC available in the beta build. If you find this specific view missing, you have to switch to the other skin in settings/appearance.
Once you've got a hang of it, you can also add TV series to your library, where you have to rename not only files (Showname S02E05 Episodetitle(optional).avi or similiar naming patterns should work), but also the series folder as well as subfolders according to the naming scheme you'll find here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=TV_Shows_%28...Library%29
\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 1\Doctor Who - S01E01.avi
Specials or Bonus files should be stored under "Season 0", with the episode categorization you'll find on thetvdb.com or whichever site you choose to scrape the info and pictures from.

@first, navigate to where XBMC shows you your Movies folder, then onto it (again, not in it but onto it), hit C and then choose "Make Default".

Pizza with Stuffed Crust RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 7
Cheese baked into the edge of the crust makes this extra-special pizza our favorite. It tastes like a restaurant-style pizza with mild ingredients. I sometimes substitute Canadian bacon for the pepperoni and green olives for the ripe ones.
Recommended: Our All-Time Best Pizzas
- 2 teaspoons cornmeal
- 2 tubes (13.8 ounces each) refrigerated pizza crust
- 8 ounces string cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
- 1 package (3-1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni
- 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
- 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle cornmeal evenly over a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Unroll pizza dough and place on pan, letting dough drape 1 in. over the edges. Pinch center seam to seal.
- Place pieces of string cheese around edges of pan. Fold dough over cheese; pinch to seal. Brush the crust with butter; sprinkle with basil.
- Bake at 425° for 5 minutes. Spread sauce over crust. Place two-thirds of the pepperoni in a single layer over sauce. Sprinkle with mushrooms, olives and cheese. Top with remaining pepperoni.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crust and cheese are lightly browned. Yield: 8-10 slices.
Editor's Note: 8 ounces of bulk mozzarella cheese, cut into 4-in. x 1/2-in. sticks, may be substituted for the string cheese.

Spam mutates, and the Internet community mounts an immune response
Brian Hayes
What is the long-term outlook for the spam problem? The gloomy view argues that we are caught in a tragedy of the commons. Economics favor the spammer; we may as well scrap e-mail and move on to the next channel of communication. The rosy forecast sees filters improving; so little spam will leak through that sending the stuff will become unprofitable, and the whole enterprise will collapse. (Bill Gates predicted that the problem would be licked by 2006.) The middle path is coexistence. Neither e-mail nor spam is driven to extinction.
Filters surely will improve, and yet there are lots of reasons to think that accuracy has a limit—and it's not 100 percent. For one thing, even people can't achieve perfect accuracy in classifying mail. William Yerazunis of the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, an expert on text classification, tried the experiment with his own mail and scored 99.84 percent.
Something else to keep in mind is that spammers could choose to improve quality rather than increase quantity. One conclusion I took away from my sodden experience of reading 10,000 spams was that if we can't have less spam, we really need better spam. And there's no reason why it all has to be so monotonous and unpalatable. Just because someone is selling a sleazy, counterfeit and probably illegal product doesn't mean the advertising has to be verbal and visual sludge. On the contrary, it's the worst products that need the best marketing (think of cigarettes). I suppose this is a way of saying that the end of spam is not death but transfiguration.
Finally, one premise of the entire anti-spam industry seems to me highly questionable—namely the assumption that every spammer's ultimate goal is to slither through the spam filter. As a text-classification system, a filter acts not to block a certain of class of mail but rather to sort messages into two categories—the inbox and the spam bin. Most of us look upon the spam bin as nothing more than a dung heap that has to be mucked out every now and then, but someone is finding information of value and interest there, or else spam would already have withered away. Seen from this point of view, a reliable filter serves the interests of the spammer as well as those of the recipient.
Diseases tend to evolve from an epidemic to an endemic state. For the first population exposed, the infection is dire and deadly; later, everyone gets a little sick but survives. It's not really in the pathogen's interest to kill the host; and although the host might well like to exterminate the disease, that seldom happens. The future of spam may be a low-grade fever.

As the Olympic flame relay continued on its course, members of the flame holding relayers were being surrounded by men dressed in blue tracksuits. Many Londoners wondered exactly who were the men whose aggressive manner of shoving aside protestors indicated they possessed some form of official authority. Each time protestors ran to grab the torch, the men in blue intervened and created a cordon around the relayers. Offcially, they are termed, "flame attendants" who are employed by the Beijing Olympic Committee which orgnized the entire relay process. Their job is ensuring the flame never goes out, but, in case it does, they are responsible for relighting the torch and sending it on its merry way.
Although British police officials insist the men in blue lack authority in their country, the behavior of the flame guardians on the streets of London demonstrated they did possess some power to shove people out of the way and perform very aggressively in defense of the flame. Matt Whitticase, of Free Tibet UK, believes the British government has caved into Chinese demands they be allowed to protect the torch in their own manner.

Microsoft Windows Sales Plunge 33 Percent as Company Looks Ahead to Win 8
Jason Mick

Q1 2013 likely left Microsoft's Ballmer sweaty and frustrated.
(Source: YouTube)
Some divisions profit, but Microsoft faces uncertainty as it races ahead to Windows/Windows Phone 8
Earnings week for the tech industry has brought
a lot
bad news
, with a few pleasant surprises (
like Intel
Corp. (
)). Microsoft Corp.'s (
definitely fall into the "bad news" category.
Microsoft, which operates two fiscal quarters ahead of the calendar quarter, saw itself narrowly miss
analyst targets
in both revenue and net income (profit). The company pulled in $4.47B USD (expected: $4.72B USD) in profit on revenue of $16.008 USD (expected: $16.416B USD).
A key to the miss was plunging revenue from the Windows unit, which saw a big drop in Windows 7 sales. Microsoft better hope that predictions of Windows 7 being the "
next Windows XP
" aren't true, because it's counting on Windows 8 to revive sales, with movement of the
once-sterling Windows 7
slowing to a sluggish pace.
Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft,
roared at his critics
, commenting in the earnings release, "The launch of Windows 8 is the beginning of a new era at Microsoft. Investments we've made over a number of years are now coming together to create a future of exceptional devices and services, with tremendous opportunity for our customers, developers, and partners."
Microsoft is currently selling Windows 8 upgrades via pre-order.
Microsoft did defer $1.36B USD (as it typically does) in pre-order revenue from its
Windows Upgrade Offer
program. Windows 8 official
launches next Friday
on Oct. 26.
One bright spot in the earnings report was Microsoft's servers unit, which saw an 8 percent bump on revenue, mainly on big growth in SQL Server and System Center. And in the also-somewhat-good news category, Bing and the online service division crept a bit closer to no longer being
massive money losers
, with revenue 9%, driven by a 15% increase in revenue per-click. That's particularly good as the dominant force in the search market, Google Inc. (
), saw
a large
in revenue per-click
after traffic acquisition costs (TAC).
The Entertainment and Devices division earnings were a revenue draw (down 1 percent). It is currently focused on reviving Microsoft's smartphone bid with
Windows Phone 8
, which launches next week. It also was able to brag that the Xbox 360 remains
sales king of the American consoles market
, with a 49 percent estimated market share. The Xbox 360's successor, which some are expecting to be
named the Xbox 720
, is not expected to land until sometime in late 2013 or early 2014.
Windows Phone 8 launches next week. [Images: Nokia (left), HTC (right)]
Microsoft remains one of the best earning and most successfully diversified hardware/software giants in the consumer electronics industry. However, it continues to be defined by the burden of high expectations, speculation, and intense scrutiny surroundings its "misses".
Shares of Microsoft were hammered in morning trading, down almost 3 percent to $28.70 USD/share.

Family says Hecla traded miner safety for profits
PINEHURST, Idaho - The family of a miner killed at the Lucky Friday mine in the spring of 2011 is speaking out about their concerns about Hecla Mining trading miner safety for profits.
It's been 15 months since the Silver Valley was rocked by the news that one of their native sons had died in a cave-in at the Lucky Friday mine. Larry "Pete" Marek was killed after he was buried under a pile of rubble larger than a locomotive.
It was the first fatality at the mine in more than 20 years.
While Marek's relatives concede mining can be a dangerous way to make a living, as evidenced by the fact that so far this year 20 American miners have died on the job, they also said that Lucky Friday mine managers should have never removed the pillar of rock supporting the tunnel the Mareks were working in.Marek family angry at Hecla
On April 15, 2011, Larry Marek and his big brother Mike had hopped on a hoist and were lowered more than a mile below the surface. The pair were working in opposite ends of the number 15 stope when Mike heard a strange sound.
"All of a sudden I heard like a bunch of air, like a VOOF, you know all that's all I could hear in my ears and then it got dusty," Mike Marek said.
Alarms in the hoist control rooms went off. Mike pushed through the cloud of dust looking for his brother Larry.
"I ran back in there hollering for him and he didn't answer. Then I ran back down the slot, yelling for him because I thought he might have been where we parked our jumbo," he said.
Despite heroic efforts to reach Larry with a pair of rescue tunnels blasted out of solid rock, no one would ever see Marek alive again.
Both Larry and Mike had worried about removing the pillar that supported the stope they were working in, "because that pillar is the support beam for the whole stope and when you go along and start taking the pillar out you are taking away all the roof support" Mike said.
Hecla officials said the pillar was removed because a vein of silver ran down either side of the support. The Mareks claim they expressed their safety concerns to a company geologist.
"When the pillar was being removed from the beginning and Larry said, 'What if this pillar gets weak?' And they just said it's in the planning," Mike said.
Now, more than a year later, Mike and his other brothers, who are also miners, wish they had done more to challenge taking the pillar out.
"We're there to make money to live. I should have said something 'cause now I just got to live with this the rest of my life thinking that if I had just said something," Mike said.
Hecla officials say they have given up removing support pillars in areas of the mine where two veins come together. They say new training and safety policies are already in place to prevent future cave-ins.
The Marek family, however, is not satisfied and now have a law firm representing them.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|cobra 28
|I am not sure about a 2000 cobra but my 2003 cobra uses a dual intake fuel pump set up and it is a returnless system. You can not use your stock 86 fuel bump because it pushes to much pressure without a way to return it. The new system bypasses the fuel in the tank instead of going all the way to the motor and then bypassing all the way back to the tank. Hope that helps
And to the guy that said a 199x - 200x Mustang can't handle a 5.4, They're wrong. Theres an issure of HOTROD magazine as well as the 1994 10L Boss Produced by SVT Team *only 10 in the world exsist*, (In which theres a 429 CID Engine) in each Mustang.. Check out
go to concept cars and check out the 10L boss... They did that without cutting and it fits right in, nothing needed to be moved around...
I didnt say it wouldnt fit, the 5.4's just look too tall, It seemed to me that a factory mustang would have to have a cowl hood or a hood scoop, and now that I think about it, MMFF did this swap, Frightning i think, where they put a blown 5.4 in a 86? out of a lightning, and I believe they had a 4" cowl hool and had to chop it so the hood would shut..I also believe they used a C-4 behind it, I cant remember all the details, but standing beside a 5.4 youd think the same I did..
|pic 2
|pic 1
Ford did not use a returnless fuel system in the older 5.0 Mustangs. They use a pressure regulator at the end of the fuel rail and a return line after that to return excess fuel back to the tank. They also had two different set-ups. One used just a high pressure in-tank pump and the other used a low pressure in-tank pump with a high pressure external pump mounted along the frame in the pressure line before the fuel pump. Both systems used a return line back to the fuel tank. See attached pictures of fuel pumps.
|G-unit gt
|hummm?????? the first fuel injected mustang came out in 1986,i own one,and it dose have return fuel lines,need to know if your friend is usen the 86 ecu,if so ,this is his problem you need to use the ecu for correct for that spasiffic engine..
|Smoked Rubber
Mustangs from 1979 - 1995 Used a 5.0 L block, Which was Basically a 302 Windsor Block that was available back in 1968 Mustangs.
(In 1979 They added 5.0 To make it look more appealing.)
So truthfully 1968 - 1995 Marks the Exsistance of the 5.0 (302 W) Block in publically available Mustangs.
Fuel Injection started in 1985 for The Ford Mustang. The 5.0 Does have a Fuel line that goes straight into the engine (No return lines) In 1996 Ford Switched to a Smaller 4.6 L (281 CID) Block... The 2000 COBRA "R" MODEL (Notice the R at the end) used a 333 CID 5.4 L Cast Iron Windsor Block. (This is the same block used in the Current Ford SVT F150)
And to the guy that said a 199x - 200x Mustang can't handle a 5.4, They're wrong. Theres an issure of HOTROD magazine as well as the 1994 10L Boss Produced by SVT Team *only 10 in the world exsist*, (In which theres a 429 CID Engine) in each Mustang.. Check out
go to concept cars and check out the 10L boss... They did that without cutting and it fits right in, nothing needed to be moved around...
To the guy that started this trend, from my understanding your going to have to switch fuel pumps and fuel rails, the 4.6 Block that came from the 2000 COBRA (Notice its just cobra and not COBRA R) needs a return fuel line, it wasent made to burn the Excessive fuel that the 5.0 Needed. The Injectors would also have to be switched (Use the Injectors from the 4.6 with the 4.6, Because the 5.0 Used Higher Lb/Hr. Injectors then that of the 4.6)
I personally think it would be easier to swap a fuel tank from a 4.6 onto your 80's Mustang and swap the blocks, and that should settle all the Major problems you would experience... (You will also need to get your hands on a 4.6 ECU..)
If theres anything else Just reply here and hopefully I can keep up on this thread.
Mustangs are my Favorite car, Love em to death, I currently co-own a 1997 and am looking to buy a 94 - 95 GT for myself (Last years of the 5.0) Good luck and I hope this Helped others as well.
When I re-read your post I think you got the Engines mixed up man..
The 4.6 281 CID (used in the 2000 Cobra) uses a Fuel Return Line
The 5.0 302 CID (Used in your Friends 86 Mustang GT/LX, Etc.) Uses a Straight Line that fed into the engine and had NO FUEL RETURN line
Then theres a 2000 Cobra "R" which uses a 5.4 333 CID Engine, From what I recollect this as well diden't use a Fuel Return line.
I doubt you got your hands on a 2000 Cobra "R" because theres only 300 of those in the world and the selling price on one was marked at $54,000+ The Engine could have been ordered After market but You said your friend got The block out of a 2000 Cobra...
So that leads me to beleave you have your hands on a 2000 Cobra 4.6L (281) Block, and your friends origional 5.0 (302 W) blocks.
Remember as I said earlier, the 4.6 HAS and NEEDS the fuel return line to keep it from running RICH.
The 5.0 uses a NON Return line system (The Fuel pumps into the engine and stays there).
Thats why when you put the 86 5.0 Fuel rail on the 2000 4.6 Block The Engine ran RICH as hell, because it diden't have the Return fuel line the 4.6 Block NEEDS, to bleed off the un-needed fuel it was getting.
You might also want to check your FPR (Fuel pressure regulator) and make sure its not Set at a High pressure, or else your defeating yourself there as well....
|Yeah but those cobra "R" s are cars that we will probably not see. And why is the 2000 Cobra R only putting out high 300's on HP and torque? My friends 98 cobra with a 144 on a 4.6 at 5-8psi puts out 400HP/380ft lbs. ?? With those numbers I would think the new cobra is supercharged, but they are still kinda low.
|I stand corrected, I have delt with the 5.4's and they seem to be a little to tall for a mustang, but thats what the site said, Hmm, Id like to try that swap...
The 351W (5.8) in '95 and the 5.4 (330 cid) in '00.
Check out the info here:
|there wasnt a 5.4 in a cobra, its too tall, it would have to have a 3" cowl from factory N/a and a 4" cowl wouldnt clear the supercharged version, there was however a 5.4 lightning and it was supercharged...
it is a 2000 Cobra
I called it a 5. 0 not knowing any better. I told him to CK this site for himself, maybe he will post.
Rat Rods Rule!
All cobras 96(maybe 94-95) and newer use the 4.6 281 V-8. There is no ford 5.0 anymore. Even the concept cobra uses the 4.6 with a blower on it. My friend has a 98 Cobra with a 144 and the 4.6 in it and the figures look almost the same on a dyno to the new cobras.
I dont believe there is a 5.4 in the 2000 cobras, at least not from the factory. But I'm not a ford guy, I just know my friend loves his cobra and thats how I found out the info.
Try using smaller injectors if your running so rich.
It was the '95 R with the 351W. The 2000 did indeed have the 5.4 with 32 valves.
|You could do an HO "conversion" and go with a 4bbl, if all else fails and things get too expensive. Now this is based on the assumption that you are using a 5.0.

Arsène Wenger will not rule out the prospect of Nicklas Bendtner returning to play for Arsenal.
The Danish striker was linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium throughout the transfer window and eventually secured a loan deal with Sunderland.
Bendtner - ineligible for Sunday's game at Emirates Stadium - has hinted that he may never pull on an Arsenal shirt again. Wenger is not so sure.
"In our job, you never say never," he said. "You do always what is right for your club. If it is right for the Club to get Nicklas Bendtner back, the Club will do it.
"I know Nicklas very well. I like him as a player. I know as well that he likes to talk but that is part of his personality. You will never get that out of him.
"It will not only depend on us, it will depend on him. But we are not there yet – there is a long way to go. He is at Sunderland for the season – we wish him well. It is important he plays, he has quality and he must show that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

UNC And ACC Wins Record Within Reach
• With Carolina's 5-4 win over South Carolina in the NCAA Chapel Hill Super Regional the Tar Heels posted their 57th win of the year, equaling the mark of the 2007 team that reached the CWS Finals.
• The 2013 group is the sixth team in school history to record 50 wins in a season and the fifth since 2006.
• A win in the CWS would give the Tar Heels 58 for the year, the most in school history and the most by an ACC team since Florida State won 60 in 2002.
• Three wins would tie Carolina with the FSU team from 2002 and the 1991 Clemson squad for the most wins in ACC history.
Offensive Explosion In 2013
• The 2012 season saw the Tar Heels eliminated in the regional round for just the second time since 2006 and as a result the Heels finished below 400 runs scored for the first time since 2005.
• The 2013 season has been an offensive resurgence for the Tar Heels as they have scored more runs than any other UNC team during the BBCOR era.
• The Tar Heels lead the country in runs scored at 529 so far and are 12 runs shy of tying the school record for runs scored in a season set in 2002.
2012 UNC Offense/Ranks

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger admits that he sometimes feels guilty for encouraging tough-tackling from his players.
The reason for his concern is that nasty injuries - such as the one suffered by Aaron Ramsey on Saturday evening – can result.
The 19-year-old suffered a double fracture to his right leg midway through the second half at Stoke following a strong challenge from Ryan Shawcross. The Welshman is the third Arsenal player to suffer a serious break in the past four years.
While Wenger has asked his side to 'toughen up' at times, naturally he is concerned about the potential consequences.
"I encourage my players to play and be committed," he said. "I have a go at them when they don't put their foot in sometimes.
"But as well sometimes I nearly feel guilty to do that because when Aaron goes for the ball like he did on Saturday and gets done like he did, it is not an easy situation.
"But the way I try to play the game, I believe, is the right way. When we don't win, I get a lot of stick because of that way but I still prefer to continue to play like that. We will respect the game, the opponents and try to give pleasure to people who watch us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont man is facing marijuana charges after his father turned him in to police, saying his son was growing it in some bedroom closets.
Nicholas Hough, 20, of St. Johnsbury, pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of marijuana cultivation and a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession Monday.
Police said Hough's father, Clifton Hough, went to the state police in February and said he suspected his son had set up marijuana growing operations in both of his bedroom closets at their home.
The Caledonian-Record reports the 51-year-old Hough told police he wanted to put a "scare" into his son and no longer wanted illegal activity in his home.
Police executed a search warrant several days later and found four suspected marijuana plants, and drug paraphernalia.

Rail, are you going to build a Dadant hive?
Rail, are you going to make the brood boxes out of solid wood? Plywood? Other?What are you planning to use for frames and foundation?
What are your thoughts about the Dadant hive?
Quote from: rail on October 14, 2011, 11:41:41 PMWhat are your thoughts about the Dadant hive?Switched 3 hives over to large combs this summer. 10,000 cells per frame, 10 frames per brood box. 33mm frame spacing. Bees boomed, but we had a good year in general in Michigan so it's too early to draw many conclusions. Used Medium honey supers this year, will be switching to shallows next year. (Photo of a frame in August) I make my frames using Pierco plastic foundation. They are about 1.5 langs in depth. The plastic core gives good support to such large combs and my bees build on the Pierco before they will touch foundationless frames. Pretty strange, I will admit, but bees will be bees sometimes.I've read Dadant's old book a couple of times. I haven't read Brother Adams book and views on large combs yet. Hope to do that this winter to gather some more insights. I would also like to read MB's book this winter too.

"I love these business cards! They have the perfect touch of simplicity yet are also unique at the same time. I will be proud to give these cards out to friends, relatives, and business professionals. Overall, I'm very pleased with my order! Thank you."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"

HP, Sun, and Hitachi all published SPC-1 storage benchmarks yesterday. The results were certainly not embarrassing, though they were 36% behind the #1 IBM SAN Volume Controller result. (1) Note that the IBM price/performance was also at least 30% better.
What was most interesting about these results is that the Host System used for this benchmark with the storage was not an HP server, not a Sun server, and not even a server with a name you don't recognize. The Host System used for all three of these benchmarks was the IBM p5-595.
Yes, you heard it right. An IBM System p5-595.
This one's for the "And They Thought We Wouldn't Notice the p5-595 in the Corner" file.
(1)The top SPC-1 result is the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller result of 272,505 IOPS (22,433 GB, $12.05/IOP, Mirroring).
Hitachi, Sun and HP published the same SPC-1 storage benchmark result of 200,245.73 IOPS over 26,000 GB ASU Capacity (mirrored) on the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V ($17.61 $/IOPS), the Sun StorageTek® 9990 System ($17.31 $/IOPS) and the HP StorageWorks XP24000 Disk Array ($17.96 $/IOPS), respectively.

Victoria asks:
This tip (Open File Location in Task Manager) doesn't work on my XP computer. Is there any other way to do this?
Victoria, yours was one of many requests from XP users in response to that article. Unfortunately, the Open File Location feature described was introduced in Vista, so it's not available in XP. However, a file location can be opened in XP using Process Explorer; a lightweight, multi-featured (and free) task manager utility.
The download is a zip file, which will have to be unzipped to access the application. For this, I recommend 7-Zip.
Once unzipped, double click on the extracted application file, named procexp.exe or, if your file extensions are hidden as the ones below are, look for procexp.
To find the folder location, scroll down the Process column, right click on a file, and select Properties. Since Process Explorer was running, its location was tracked for this demonstration, but this will work for any running process.
In the Properties dialog box, under the Image tab, right click the directory location in the Current Directory: field and choose Select All from the context menu. Then copy the location (keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C).
Open Run, again using a keyboard shortcut, Win+R (hold the Windows key and tap the R key). In Run, paste the copied directory address (keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+V).
Click OK, and you're taken to the same location that the Task Manager article described.
This procedure may seem a little complicated at first but, after it's been done a couple times, it's a snap. If you'd just like a quick glance at a location, but don't need to be taken there, Process Explorer also provides mouse-over tooltips. Just hold the cursor over a file name to reveal its location.
For quick access, create a shortcut by right clicking on the file and following the path, Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
Thanks for the question, Victoria. You can download Process Explorer here.

No labels: AP style book bans "illegal immigrant"
posted at 3:26 pm on April 2, 2013 by Guy Benson
Today's the second of the month, so this isn't an April Fools joke:
The Associated Press, the largest news-gathering outlet in the world, will no longer use the term "illegal immigrant." The news came in the form of a blog entry authored by Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll on Tuesday afternoon, explaining that the decision is part of the company's on-going attempt to rid their Stylebook of labels. "The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term 'illegal immigrant' or the use of 'illegal' to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that 'illegal' should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally," Carroll wrote. The company's decision comes after years of controversy over the term. Fusion, the ABC-Univision joint venture, does not use "illegal immigrant" because we believe it dehumanizes those it describes and we find it to be linguistically inaccurate.
In case you're curious, "undocumented immigrant" is also verboten, which leaves…what, exactly? AP pro-tip: Why use two words when 17 will suffice?
Exit questions (Allahpundit ™): How should enlightened journos refer to
illegal immigrants persons-who-have-migrated-to-the-United-States-in-violation-of-one-or-more-statutes-but-whose-humanity-we-fully-affirm from now on? And what other terms should get the axe, based on this standard? Does active engagement in terrorism make someone a "terrorist", really? That's such a judgmental word. What about "criminals"? "Persons convicted of unlawful acts" sounds less harsh. Have at it, folks.

With another season of destructive storms having already begun, and the one year anniversary of the EF5 tornado that tore though Joplin, MO coming up on May 22, communities are on alert.
This Friday also marks five years since a devastating EF5 tornado leveled the small town of Greensburg, KS, destroying homes, businesses and lives- but not spirits. Even in the face of such a disaster and tragedy, a community bonded together and with bravery and resilience, and have worked to rebuild their town bigger and better through the use of innovative green technologies.
The Local Show screens a segment from the AARP's television program, My Generation, which looks at how Greensburg has used green energy- recycled materials and renewable power sources – to rebuild itself and serve as an inspiring model for towns everywhere.
Local architecture firm BNIM and its Founding Principal Bob Berkebile are renowned as experts and pioneers in the sustainability and green design movement. Berkebile, a winner of the 2009 Heinz Award from Theresa Heinz and the Heinz Family Foundation for his role in promoting green building design and for his commitment and action towards restoring social, economic and environmental vitality to America's communities through sustainable architecture and planning, sits down with Randy Mason to discuss lessons to be learned from places like Greensburg, KS and post-Katrina New Orleans, Kansas City's Green Impact Zone, and the important benefits of green building design.
