|Topic Review (Newest First)
You are going to need a wiring diagram for both of those years to see if they are identical. To me, it sounds like the handlebar wiring or switch functions are different between those 2 years?
Without a diagram;..If you had lots of patience, you could test the switch functions and the wire colors to all the lights; but that can be difficult with all of the sealed harnesses and sealed connectors.
You should web search for a Suzuki motorcycle forum. We did the same thing on a Honda Quad for a charging problem. Took an hour of seaching a few Honda forums until finding a thread on the exact same problem. Then it took only a few minutes to fix it. We also found links to wire diagrams on those forums.
Hello! My name is William. I have a problem with the electrical system on my 2002, Suzuki Hayabusa(motorcycle). I put led tag lights on the bike, and rode the bike for almost two weeks, all the while, the main wire harness was in fact burning up, due to the tag lights shorting out. The main wire harness was fried!!! I purchased a new wire harness from ebay, which was off of a 2006, Suzuki Hayabusa. Now, when I turn my ignition on, my headlight does not come on as it once did and is supposed to. When I turn on the left turn signal, the headlight, whether on high or low beam, it blinks as a turn signal with the left turn signal. The right turn signal acts as the daytime running headlight. Yet, if I unplug the right handlebar switch,( which houses the bike kill switch & the bike start switch,), then and only then, will the right turn signal blink as its supposed to!! The headlight will not come on at all ,once the kill switch but connector is unplugged. If I plug the right but connector plug back in, then the right turn signal stays on, but doesn't blink at all!! Just stays lit up as the headlight is supposed to. Please help A.S.A.P. I've called bike shops here in Erie, Buffalo NY, Cleveland OH, etc. etc. all to no avail!!!
Please again, I beg of your help!!!!! Any advice, suggestions at all I welcome!!! William, here in Erie, PA. You can also call me at (814-572-1975) or (814-878-0399).
Thank you....

I was looking around in the gallery, and noticed this. His jet pack's got a huge chunk missing out of it!
She just did it! Cheeky minx.
Yup the sarlacc jetpack was used there not broken but broken, HE DID ESCAPE see....
It has always amazed me that they didn't have any other jet pack around to shoot that scene.
Source: Star Wars InterviewsQuote:
You had some parts in the Star Wars movies: Boba Fett and Barquin Dan in the Return of the Jedi Special Edition, some aliens, a Stormtrooper, an Imperial Officer .how did you get to play all these parts (especially Boba Fett and Barquin), and which aliens did you play?
I was the right size...when they were creating the Special Editions, I was still at the archives and was coordinating the costume loans for the shoots. I told the ILM producer I knew where to get an original Bith mask, but jokingly said he have to let me wear it or I wouldn't tell him...he took me up on my offer. While we were shooting the musical scene at Jabba's Palace (shot at ILM, which we referred to as "Jedi Rocks"), George Lucas had the idea to insert Boba into the scene chatting up the dancers. During a break in the filming, Rick McCallum called me over to ask if there were any Boba costumes in the archives for us to use. I said there were, so he told me to go up at lunch and get one, bring it back and wear it for the scene...so I did.
I find that to be hilarious. Ever since I became aware of the differences in the various Fetts I have been amazed by how frequently the Special Edition Fett is used in pictures and other such things.
That's pretty funny
Here are the 2 ROTJ jetpacks with the big gash:
Attachment 66669 Attachment 66670
And the stunt jetpack:
Attachment 66671
Corrected the stunt jetpack image attachment.
Interesting to note the collar is not attached to hte back plate ... in fact the back plate has no holes drilled to accept the collar ... i guess this is so diving on the deck didn't wreck the thinner collar armour?
thats not how the actual suits color and back plate joined there was a hook type connection
Although F4R misspelled in a hurry the word collar (=color), he wanted to say that originally the collar and the back plates overlap at the ends (more exactly the collar plate's back end goes on top of the back plate's front end) and are hold together by 4 screws and 4 collar studs as nuts:
Attachment 66712
But in the case of the stunt armor, they did a fast release system with hooks and this is why you see the collar left end free:
Attachment 66713

President Bush's former press secretary, Scott McClellan, in his forthcoming book accuses the president and others in the administration of lying about outed CIA operative Valerie Palme. In speaking to the press, Scott McClellan now admits he lied. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And, five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so. Rove, Libby,the vice president, the president's chief of staff, and the president himself." The current press secretary, Dana Perino, responded to the accusation by saying, "The president has not and would not ask his spokespeople to pass on false information."
Several years ago, Republicans argued that President Clinton had lied concerning his relations with Monica Lewinsky and thus they initiated impeachment proceedings. We now have a specific charge of lying on the part of the president of the United States by a Republican who served in his administration. Will congressional Republicans now initiate impeachment proceedings against President Bush for lying?

Hi all. Going thru some old boxes today and found the very first version of my Fett costume. Got me to thinking about doing an "evolution of" thread. I've seen other members start similar topics and I always love seeing peoples costumes go thru changes/upgrades. And it's neat to see where/why you started it in the first place. Plus, my Fett suit has definitely gone thru some versions over the last 6-7 years.
So here goes-
Version 1-('01-02) Had a DP95 helmet and always thought a Fett costume would be sweet, but probably untainable. Down the road I decide to try Boba Fett for Halloween project. -All scratchbuilt/found parts beside the helmet/ammo belt. Built the gauntlets, armor- Carboard, sheet aluminum.
-Glanced at reference pics, but not capturing anything accurate. Was for fun.
Version 2-('02-03) Had the bug from the first attempt at my Fett costume. Started researching on Google. Found my way to TDH, started me down a path that would forever change me(and my wallet).
-Also found the 501st and had been accepted with version 2.
-Still had the DP95, new armor(sintra) from Ebay. Modified jumpsuit. Bought inexpensive ammo belt, found Jango gauntlets on TDH, modified them.;) Bought jet pack on Ebay. Modified shoes.
Version 3-('04) Upgrades a plenty! Get an MLC bucket, MLC v1 armor, New ROTJ gauntlets, and JW boots(which I still use, cuz their the best!)
-Finally start looking at doing accurate weathering and paint.
Version 4-('05-06) Big change! I go the ESB route with my next round of upgrades. Repaint helmet, new armor, scratchbuild ESB blaster(bought greeblies), new jumpsuit, MOW gauntlets, new scratch made gloves, new cape, new braids, new ammo pouches.
Version 5-('07) Upgrade on the bucket. I go Sgt Fang. Very pleased with more accurate size. And MLC v2 jet pack. New paint all around for both of these. Pleased with the way they turned out. Bobamaker jumpsuit.
Version 6-('08-09-current) Upgrades on newer MOW gauntlets(v2). Aluminum flame thrower. New 99centTaco ammo belt. New paint updates. Fitted jumpsuit better. Updated greeblies on blaster. New chest lights.
And that about does it for now. Version 7 is in the works! New more accurate harness from FettDad, jet pack hooks and some other goodies cookin' up.
Thanks for looking! And thank you TDH for the wealth of knowledge here and all the talented members. :cheers

Welcome !!!
Hi There,
Just signed up as a new member.
Wanted to say hello to everyone before i started asking questions. I have been around fire arms when i was younger, however not really had the opportunity in the last 15-20 years. I originate from Australia, which have some pretty tough gun laws, then we moved to South East Asia, which also makes it tough to purchase or legally own firearms.
Well now in the US the ability to own fire arms is a reality. We have been here for awhile and decided to start looking around at what interests me. I am planning on taking the concealed Handgun license test later this month.
My next challenge will be to determine what type of handgun i want. Thats what brings me here.
Now, i am not going to ask the dreaded question "which is the best gun" because i am sure there is no one right answer.
I will take some time to go though the relevant info in the forum then start to ask some questions.
I visited a gun show earlier today, it was good to touch and feel them.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
Welcome !!!
Glad you're here, welcome to the forum! New guy buys cigars.
Welcome to the forum from down in the swamp.
Welcome.......and howdy from Texass
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the welcomes.
As i mentioned, i am doing my concealed handguns licence at the end of the month. I would not mind going to a range before hand to get a feel for the handguns, do you need the licence to rent a handgun at a range, or just pay the fee's.
You should just be able to pay the fees as long as you are 21 yrs or older. You will also be required at most places to use and buy their ammunition.

The Institute for Arts and Health promotes the use of the arts for the health and well being of all individuals in educational, community, and institutional settings.
Clinical expressive arts therapy and non-clinical applications of the arts are used in educational, medical, and a wide variety of community programs. In addition to many advances made in mental health services, the arts are used to treat and educate communities about risk, prevention and care for wide ranging public health, environmental and medical issues including obesity, asthma, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease, dementia, palliative care, hospice services, and violence as a health epidemic. The arts are increasingly being used to help active duty military service members, veterans, their families and caregivers address health disabilities stemming from their service.
Personal expression through creativity and the arts has been proven to access the body, mind, spirit and heart continuum in the process of healing and recovery. Increasingly attention is being given to the value of the arts in enhancing job satisfaction and the well being of professional and family caregivers. Across the nation more medical schools are offering arts initiatives in the training and continuing professional development of medical practitioners toward a goal of increasingly compassionate and empathic treatment, which is proving to result in cost effectiveness and increased patient satisfaction.

From HaskellWiki
1 Product
Recall the construction of a cartesian product of two sets: . We have functions and extracting the two sets from the product, and we can take any two functions and and take them together to form a function .Similarly, we can form the type of pairs of Haskell types:
An element of the pair is completely determined by the two elements included in it. Hence, if we have a pair of generalized elements and , we can find a unique generalized element such that the projection maps on this gives us the original elements back.
This argument indicates to us a possible definition that avoids talking about elements in sets in the first place, and we are lead to the
Definition A product of two objects A,B in a category C is an object equipped with maps such that for any other object V with maps , there is a unique map such that the diagram
Recall the construction of a cartesian product: for sets S,T, the set .
The cartesian product is one of the canonical ways to combine sets with each other. This is how we build binary operations, and higher ones - as well as how we formally define functions, partial functions and relations in the first place.
This, too, is how we construct vector spaces: recall that is built out of tuples of elements from , with pointwise operations. This constructions reoccurs all over the place - sets with structure almost always have the structure carry over to products by pointwise operations.
The product of sets is determined by the projection maps and . You know any element of by knowing what its two coordinates are, and any element of S with an element of T determines exactly one element of .
Given the cartesian product in sets, the important thing about the product is that we can extract both parts, and doing so preserves any structure present, since the structure is defined pointwise.
This is what we use to define what we want to mean by products in a categorical setting.
Definition Let C be a category. The product of two objects A,B is an object equipped with maps and such that any other object V with maps has a unique map such that both maps from V factor through the p1,p2.
In the category of Set, the unique map from V to would be given by q(v) = (q1(v),q2(v)).
The uniqueness requirement is what, in the theoretical setting, forces the product to be what we expect it to be - pairing of elements with no additional changes, preserving as much of the structure as we possibly can make it preserve.
In the Haskell category, the product is simply the Pair type:
Product a b = (a,b)
Recall from the first lecture, the product construction on categories: objects are pairs of objects, morphisms are pairs of morphisms, identity morphisms are pairs of identity morphisms, and composition is componentwise.
This is, in fact, the product construction applied to Cat - or even to CAT: we get functors P1,P2 picking out the first and second components, and everything works out exactly as in the cases above.
We keep writing the product here. The justification for this is: Theorem If P and P' are both product objects for the pair (A,B), then they are isomorphic.
Proof Consider the diagram: (( Diagram )) Both the vertical maps have unique existence, by the defining property of the product. Hence the composition of these two maps, is an endo-map of P (P') such that both projections factor through this endo-map. However, the identity map 1P (1P') is also such an endo-map, and again, by the definition of the product, a map to P (</math>P'</math>) that the projections factor through is uniquely determined. Hence the composition is the identity, and this argument holds, mutatis mutandis, for the other inverse. Hence these vertical maps are isomorphisms, inverse to each other, and thus P,P' are isomorphic. QED.
2 Coproduct
The other thing you can do in a Haskell data type declaration looks like this:
Coproduct a b = A a | B b
This type provides us with functions
A :: a -> Coproduct a b B :: b -> Coproduct a b
and hence looks quite like a dual to the product construction, in that the guaranteed functions the type brings are in the reverse directions from the arrows that the product projection arrows.
So, maybe what we want to do is to simply dualize the entire definition?
Definition Let C be a category. The coproduct of two objects A,B is an object A + B equipped with maps and such that any other object V with maps has a unique map such that v1 = vi1 and v2 = vi2.
In the Haskell case, the maps i1,i2 are the type constructors A,B. And indeed, this Coproduct, the union type construction, is the type which guarantees inclusion of source types, but with minimal additional assumptions on the type.
In the category of sets, the coproduct construction is one where we can embed both sets into the coproduct, faithfully, and the result has no additional structure beyond that. Thus, the coproduct in set, is the disjoint union of the included sets: both sets are included without identifications made, and no extra elements are introduced.
Proposition If C,C' are both coproducts for some A,B, then they are isomorphic.
The proof is almost exactly the same as the proof for the product case.

- Disjoint union in Set
- Coproduct of categories construction

Recall from [User:Michiexile/MATH198/Lecture_3|Lecture 3] that we can consider endofunctors as container datatypes. Some of the more obvious such container datatypes include:
data 1 a = Empty data T a = T a
These being the data type that has only one single element and the data type that has exactly one value contained.Using these, we can generate a whole slew of further datatypes. First off, we can generate a data type with any finite number of elements by (n times). Remember that the coproduct construction for data types allows us to know which summand of the coproduct a given part is in, so the single elements in all the
Furthermore, we can note that , with the isomorphism given by the maps
f (Empty, T x) = T x g (T x) = (Empty, T x)
Thus we have the capacity to add and multiply types with each other. We can verify, for any types A,B,C
We can thus make sense of types like T3 + 2T2 (either a triple of single values, or one out of two tagged pairs of single values).
This allows us to start working out a calculus of data types with versatile expression power. We can produce recursive data type definitions by using equations to define data types, that then allow a direct translation back into Haskell data type definitions, such as:
The real power of this way of rewriting types comes in the recognition that we can use algebraic methods to reason about our data types. For instance:
List = 1 + T * List = 1 + T * (1 + T * List) = 1 + T * 1 + T * T* List = 1 + T + T * T * List
so a list is either empty, contains one element, or contains at least two elements. Using, though, ideas from the theory of power series, or from continued fractions, we can start analyzing the data types using steps on the way that seem completely bizarre, but arriving at important property. Again, an easy example for illustration:
List = 1 + T * List -- and thus List - T * List = 1 -- even though (-) doesn't make sense for data types (1 - T) * List = 1 -- still ignoring that (-)... List = 1 / (1 - T) -- even though (/) doesn't make sense for data types = 1 + T + T*T + T*T*T + ... -- by the geometric series identity
and hence, we can conclude - using formally algebraic steps in between - that a list by the given definition consists of either an empty list, a single value, a pair of values, three values, et.c.
At this point, I'd recommend anyone interested in more perspectives on this approach to data types, and thinks one may do with them, to read the following references:

Situated at the southernmost tip of Washington, D.C., on the Potomac River, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority's (DC Water) Blue Plains plant is the world's largest tertiary treatment facility. Within three years the 370-mgd facility will be renowned for another reason as well — as the first operation in North America to use thermal hydrolysis to pretreat sludge for anaerobic digestion and the largest such plant in the world.
The move dovetails with an agencywide energy audit that was completed in December (see sidebar, page 44) as part of DC Water's overall effort to voluntarily reduce its carbon footprint.
Built in 1938 and expanded and modified several times over the years, Blue Plains now serves 1.1 million residential and commercial customers on a retail basis and processes wastewater on a wholesale basis for suburban jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia.
Over the last decade, we've invested almost $1 billion improving processes to meet nitrogen and phosphorous mandates related to Chesapeake Bay water quality improvements, as well as improving plant automation to streamline operation. The advanced degree of wastewater treatment we have at Blue Plains requires significant power usage, about 32 to 35 megawatts (MW), making Blue Plains the largest power consumer within the District.
Audit identifies hundreds of money-saving opportunities.
After establishing a sustainable energy policy in 2008, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) retained engineering firm MWH to evaluate consumption operationwide and lay the groundwork for implementing conservation measures.
For one year, from December 2009 through December 2010, MWH consultants interviewed utility employees at all levels and conducted prioritization workshops with key staff members. They collected and analyzed operational data on pumps; electric, heating and air conditioning, and lighting systems; and water systems, including items like overall treated volume and opportunities to reduce water consumption. They evaluated water use by the authority. They considered renewable energy options.
The firm identified 250 projects — upgrading to more efficient lighting, HVAC improvements, building envelope improvements, and resetting or installing automated controls — managers can implement immediately to save a total of more than $500,000 annually. DC Water would recover the costs of these low and no-cost measures over a period of 12 to 18 months based on the total amount saved.
For example, the utility uses more than 1 megawatt of electricity annually to illuminate facilities. Converting to LED fixtures and installing motion sensors could save $100,000.
The firm identified 40 more capital-intensive projects that could save more than $3 million annually — the top-tier projects will save an annual $2 million. If implemented, the utility would recover the costs invested to achieve these improvements over a period of 12 to 18 months. They include:
— Ernest Jolly (firstname.lastname@example.com) is energy manager of DC Water; Robyn McGuckin (firstname.lastname@example.com) is director of resource efficiency management for MWH; Bert Wellens (firstname.lastname@example.com) is technical manager and energy engineer for MWH; and Richard Atoulikian (firstname.lastname@example.com) is vice president and project manager for MWH.
For many years the plant has processed its sludge with lime to produce a Class B fertilizer material that's given to farmers, foresters, and mine reclamation projects. Rather than destroying solids, the lime stabilization process increases volume because calcium oxide is added to the sludge to stabilize it. About 65 truckloads of biosolids leave the plant every day. Although this program has been a major success over the years, the large biosolids production volume must be trucked to fields and locations at long distances (often more than 100 miles away), resulting in high operating costs and high truck fuel usage, which elevates carbon emissions associated with plant operation.
DC Water recognized the need for a better biosolids processing system nearly a decade ago. After evaluating a large variety of options at that time, the authority selected anaerobic digestion because it is well proven, destroys half of the sludge, and creates a major energy product (methane gas) that has great value. In developing our plans further in recent years, we recognized that we needed to produce a biosolids product that was Class A (pathogen-free) and that had maximum flexibility for multiple reuse markets. And, we needed a digestion process that could fit within our very small available footprint. We had tracked the development of the thermal hydrolysis process for many years, but in 2006 we began a more concerted effort to confirm the process could be of major value for DC Water.
Saving money while making money
Space is an ever-increasing challenge at Blue Plains. We have a 6-acre plot within the plant that can be used to accommodate new biosolids processing, but the rest of the 153-acre facility is already spoken for with projects that include enhanced nitrogen removal and a long-term control plan to reduce combined sewer overflows.
Because thermal hydrolysis of sludge is a new process that has not yet been implemented in North America, DC Water conducted thorough evaluations that included several years of pilot testing with our material. We also investigated many of the 20 operating plants overseas, and confirmed successful operation with process operators and owners. By 2009, we completed our due-diligence and assessment work and were ready to proceed with detailed planning, design, and implementation. We found that the thermal hydrolysis process developed by Cambi has by far the most experience, especially with large plants such as Blue Plains.
Thermal hydrolysis greatly improves the efficiency of anaerobic digestion by feeding digesters at much thicker solids concentrations, thus cutting the tankage requirements in half. This is a huge benefit for Blue Plains, which has such limited space. The process also produces exceptional quality Class A material that has low odor levels largely because of a higher degree of stabilization. Also, with thermal hydrolysis, digestion produces more methane gas, thus allowing even more power to be produced.
Thermal hydrolysis uses heat (320° F) and pressure of about 100 psi to kill bacteria and other organisms, including pathogens. This makes the solids more readily degradable within anaerobic digestion. The thermal hydrolysis "cooking" process takes place in vessels where the temperature and pressure are raised by adding steam. The temperature of the sludge is then reduced to that required for stable anaerobic digestion (about 100° F).
Next, the methane gas produced during digestion will be burned in combustion gas turbines that are connected to power generators. The hot turbine exhaust gas is used to produce medium-pressure steam (about 175 psi) that is used in the thermal hydrolysis cooking process.
Using thermal hydrolysis and anaerobic digestion for biosolids will generate approximately 13 MW of electricity, saving about $10 million/year on plant energy costs. The process also offers a reliable source of backup power for critical plant processes during commercial power outages.
Another major benefit of the thermal hydrolysis pretreatment process is that final dewatering of the biosol-ids produces a high-solids-content cake material (about 30% solids). Additionally, the dewatering can be accomplished with low-energy machines such as belt filter presses. With the high organic destruction of solids during digestion, coupled with the improved dewatering, the daily volume of final biosolids product will be cut dramatically at Blue Plains, saving another $10 million/year in trucking and related costs for handling the biosolids.
Starting in 2014, we will realize these savings from trucking less product, as well as savings from reduced plant power purchases.
Program implementation will involve several construction projects from 2011 to 2014. The biggest project is a design-build procurement for the Main Process Train, which includes the thermal hydrolysis and digestion facilities. An extensive system of performance guarantees and start-up activities will help ensure smooth commissioning of the new facilities and allow transition from the existing Class B process to the new approach.

Well, I have begun to put together my Boba Fett Armor! This is my first try to get into costuming and hopefully into the 501st.
Thanks to WOF for the templates... The chest armor is Sterlite Garbage Can Armor and the Stomach is a piece of Sentra... By the way... I used a Dremel to cut the garbage can and it melted the can... so after I popped out the side of the can, I used a Exacto Knife to score the edges and with a little hand strength I used some wire cutters to pop out the armor!
Here's some pictures below, but i have a couple of questions...
1. Should I wait until I get the LED screen and then make the proper cut on the armor?
2. Does the vest I have seem like a good fit for the armor? Meaning do I have it positioned correctly? And once it's painted, how should I mount it? Should I wear it and then get some help?
I just need advice for my next steps... I'll be cutting the rest out next week...
PLEASE IGNORE THE JANGO BLUEPRINT SITTING ON THE TABLE it just happens to be there... it's not what I'm going for.

Me and boat have no luck ever.
I keep playing inhouses to try to learn Brewmaster more and keep getting games where I can't find a good use for my ult. Every fight is basically over by the time I've stomped, hazed, and used any actives I have, so I can never practice microing his splits.
Instead of playing me and my friend got lots of couriers
our games crashed but we had more
Dear people: If you are going to demand mid. FUCKING GANK. Don't stay in your lane for 25 minutes and let people free farm. Just lost 2 games due to this.
Phase boots or Treads on Necrolyte?
watch in 1080p!!
Mid ganking depends on hero and player. If player knows how to gank, he can do it with pretty much any hero, while others might not want to do so as Drow/OD/etc , because they'd rather farm and carry later.
True, mid is most suitable for ganks, but if you really want it, you could ask some specific hero to roam when mid doesn't want to /can't gank. Sidelaning Night Stalker after 6th for example, Crystal Maiden, etc. Those heroes with some levels can gank very efficiently, and while you'd prefer mid Night Stalker ganking every time it's night, a sidelane one roaming a lot isn't that bad.
Hell, have you guy ever seen roaming Morphling ? I've seen it on Purge's stream and it was quite good.
CM is not a good ganker on the fact alone that a dry slug is faster than she is.
The problem was in both games we could set up kills very easy but every time they would escape with very little hp. If we just had some help it would have been free kills. I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to help with that.
Guys, does Quelling Blade work off total damage, or only base damage ?
Had the quickest game of Dota 2 ever today. 26 mins. They're beastmaster left saying "shit team l2p noobs" and then their AM and Ursa disconnected after like 10 mins so it's to be expected.
also, had another game where i was romping as ursa, enemy shadow demon kept calling ursa op "cause he can take out a whole team by himself"
isnt that what a carry does?
Guys, honestly. Does quelling blade % work off Base Damge or Total Damage ? It's really bugging me somehow and right now I am a bit busy to check it in Dota myself. (Have to watch all HP movies, Dead Poet Society, 30 Door key and Labors of Sisyphus, then work them into "School Motive in movies and litearture" work.)
Last night when I was playing I heard Kleiner (from HL2) say, "oh fiddlesticks" right after I killed Roshan.
I just received Dota 2.
I am very happy at the moment.
I had a 7 minute game due to the fact we got a few early kills and they decided "fuck this im out" and all left at the same time.
That makes sense thanks for the info. I was wondering why it didn't count, though I speculated as much.
If anyone would be so kind to trade their spare dota 2 I would be very interested in giving any <£15 steam game for it! (I already have dota 2, it's for my friend)
*I got one*
it's official, nobody ever reads the OP
At least he's bartering.
Helped me a real lot. Even though DOTA was my first moba, not a single one of my friends ever told me not to autoattack creeps. But the OP did.
Played my first three games.
Won two of them.
Zeus and pugna make a good combo. Makes those early ganks really easy. Decrepify then lighting strike and they are almost completely dead.

This may sound strange but why not just bake it in the oven? Boiling kills most stuff so I would guess a good half hour in a preheated 400 degree oven should do the job! I wonder if a used oven would work good for this? Has anyone ever thought of this? You could keep it in garage and move it out doors to do the job for fire safety reasons. You could do quite a few boxes in a day this way without all the pain of torching every crack and hoping you got all of it. And as long as you cut all comb out of frames you could keep them instead of burning them. I have read you just burn the frames cause its to big of a hassle but if you are baking them could you not save them too?Maybe I need some more caffeine yet!
>with AFB there would be some pretty obvious signs left in the comb?They are well documented, but I wouldn't say obvious if you don't know what to look for. There are pictures out there on the web of "AFB Scale" and "string tests" and you can even do a Holst test or buy a test. But if you didn't have a lot of dead larvae and sunken and pierced cappings and scale, then it's a pretty sure thing you probably don't have AFB.
Steritech in Dandenong do irradiation if you're genuinely worried-$23 for a base, two supers full of frames and a lid... Heat gun? Wouldn't bother-If you must use used equipment ask for previous lab test results which all registered beeks should have. I would only buy second hand if it was Fred or an absolute bargain especially when I canget a fully assembled box for $14
The sterilization issue would be AFB. If they are your hives and you don't think they died of any disease, let alone AFB, then there is nothing that needs to be sterilized.
Science journals will inform you that Gamma Radiation is the total answer to killing any organism on organic material. No trace of radiation after 8 hours in it for all woodware. Bodies, frames, supers. tops. Double Plastic wrap against dirt getting into their cooking area at Steritech. They throw on a wonderful lunch(free of course) a couple of times a year to show the public the facility and how safe it is. I thought of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and the China Syndroime. Steritech treat a lot of hospital and surgical stuff for complete sterilization. i asked them if the blokes should cover up there nether regions and they rolled around laughing at the thought of aprons being worn by the blokes. We walked through the chambers where the gamma radiation soaks up the naughty things in hive ware. There main gripe is that beekeepers should learn to wrap(in builders plastic) twice all over and seal it so they do not have clean up any mess as the place is pretty spick and clean.
The irridation sounds good. The main problem would be the transport cost in fact but if you had a lot of hives then fair enough.

On October 5, 2010, President Obama signed legislation requiring the federal government to replace the term "mental retardation" with "intellectual disability" in many areas of government. This measure, known as Rosa's Law, strips the terms "mental retardation" and "mentally retarded" from federal health, education, and labor policy. "Intellectual disability" or "individual with an intellectual disability" are being inserted in place of these outdated terms. The rights of individuals with disabilities remain the same.
To accommodate this change in the former Student Accountability Information System (SAIS), student information systems were required to upload the old MIMR, MOMR, SMR codes and these were converted behind the scenes and any output would display these codes using the new MIID, MOID, SID codes.
With the implementation of AzEDS (Arizona Education Data Standards), this conversion is no longer necessary. Student information systems can now upload MIID, MOID, SID codes for processing and these codes will be reflected on the appropriate reports.
Any questions regarding these codes can be directed to ESS Data Management.

The CSDM Program supports research on the nature of molecular structure and its consequences for reactivity, intermolecular interactions, and dynamics. Chemical dynamics is defined to encompass reaction kinetics and mechanisms, intramolecular rearrangement or conformational changes, and changes induced via electromagnetic excitation. While the majority of projects supported by CSDM are experimental in nature, the Program is receptive to research focused on utilizing applied computational methods. However, the proposer should establish a high degree of relevance to the understanding of existing experimental data. The CSDM Program is concerned primarily with chemical phenomena in the gas and fluid phases, as well as chemical processes at gas-fluid, gas-solid, fluid-solid, and fluid-fluid interfaces. Proposals concerned with solid phase chemical processes are generally not supported by the Program. Proposals whose primary questions relate to phenomena arising from the properties of nanoscale materials or assemblies should be submitted to the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry Program (CHE/MSN). CSDM supports research projects that have strong implications for advancing the foundational physical models of chemical structure and dynamics. Projects focusing on device development are not supported by the Program.
The CSDM Program is divided into two sub-programs, CSDM-A and CSDM-B. The two programs will inevitably overlap in some instances. At coarse resolution, they are separable in terms of i) molecular complexity, ii) time scale, iii) strength of the interactions, and iv) links to potential applications. The individual Program Descriptions are intended to guide the proposer to the most appropriate sub-program for his/her research. If additional guidance is required, Principal Investigators are encouraged to send brief electronic summaries of their research to CSDM Program Directors prior to formal proposal submission. After Programmatic review of the summaries, Principal Investigators will be given advice as to the appropriateness of the research for CSDM, and if appropriate, the best sub-program (CSDM-A or CSDM-B) for submission.
Research supported in this program seeks to map specific molecular structures to their chemical reactivities and/or chemical properties. It often involves complex chemical systems and may contain a substantial amount of chemical synthesis. While the CSDM-A portfolio includes phenomena that are tracked with ultrafast methods, research supported under CSDM-B extends to time scales dictated by reaction kinetics. CSDM-B proposals generally utilize existing experimental techniques as opposed to developing new ones. Topics of interests to CSDM-B include (but are not limited to) mechanistic studies of organometallic, organic, and inorganic reactions, chemistry of reactive intermediates, mechanistic studies of energy-related processes, and the interaction of light and electrons with chemical structures. Examples of recently funded projects in CSDM-B include mechanistic studies directed toward universal ligands and catalytic reactions of samarium diiodide, charge delocalization and mobility in ground and photoexcited states of conjugated systems, reactivity of 1,2-diradicals, shape-responsive fluorophores, computational studies of cycloaddition reactions, photophysical properties of spin-polarized molecules, and photorelease of stable molecules.

"Boys will ask you every day until you say yes"
posted at 12:14 pm on January 30, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Cole Morton comments on the "culture of pornography" and its impact on teenagers in the UK, citing a horrific case in which a 13-year-old girl died trying to convince a boy to delete a video he had made of her performing a sex act on him:
The girls are fast approaching 13, the age that Chevonea Kendall-Bryan was when she leaned out of one of the windows on the fourth floor of a block of flats on this street. A boy she knew was down here on the ground, but this was not Romeo and Juliet. Far from it.
Chevonea had been pressurised into performing a sex act on him, and he had shared a phone clip of her doing so with all his mates. She threatened to jump from the window if he did not delete it. Then she slipped and fell 60 feet to the ground, dying from massive brain injuries. …
"Never before has girlhood been under such a sustained assault – from ads, alcohol marketing, girls' magazines, sexually explicit TV programmes and the hard pornography that is regularly accessed in so many teenager's bedrooms," says the psychologist Steve Biddulph, currently touring the country to promote a book called Raising Girls.
It is a follow-up to his best-seller Raising Boys – and they are under pressure too, being led to believe that girls will look and behave like porn stars. Our children are becoming victims of pornification.
"It is usually girls who are on the receiving end of some pretty degrading stuff," says Claire Perry MP, who has just been appointed David Cameron's special adviser on the commercialisation and sexualisation of childhood. "We've got young girls being asked to write their names on their boobs and send pictures. Parents would be really shocked to know this is happening in pretty much every school in the country. Our children are growing up in a very sexualised world."
I'm not suggesting that people demand government intervention or bans on cell phones with cameras, and so on. But it behooves us to see that cultural degradation has an impact throughout the culture, and that children are not prepared for the consequences. We need to act within the cultural paradigm to change it, and we need to make sure that we prepare our children and grandchildren for the world that they are entering.

An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer
My Bookshelf: "The Emperors of Chocolate"
I'm a sucker for business books. A total Blow Pop -- the retailers can see me coming a mile away, and I frequently hear the ledger closing with a satisfied slam and the lock turning as a I walk out bookstores loaded down with the latest. I've even heard that the lights dim in Seattle as my orders tax the servers at Amazon.com. Following the normal bell curve that you find in almost any part of life, most of the books are so-so, a few are sub-par, and a few are really great. I've recently read one of the great ones and I wanted to pass it along.
The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey and Mars by Joel Glenn Brenner is one of those business books where you walk away satisfied that you've picked up some interesting and useful insights into an industry. That's the yardstick for me. I can't remember many books that tell you everything you need to know to about a particular industry in order to invest in that industry. If you can pick up one useful piece of information from a book like this, however, the purchase price becomes more than justified. For instance, I don't want to call myself provincial, but I had no idea about Hershey Foods' (NYSE: HSY) position in the global confectionery industry.
One vital point I picked up from this book is the fact that the Hershey bar and any confection with Hershey's milk chocolate in it stand little chance of picking up significant market share in Europe or any other country where European tastes have had a substantial influence on local palates. That's because Hershey's chocolate tastes sour to non-American palates. It's called "barnyard chocolate" by the rest of the industry because of its taste. (Who knew, huh? I love it, personally.) This definitely shapes my opinion on the company. When you think of Marlboro, you think "international brand." When you think of Coca-Cola, you think "international brand." If you think of a traditional American icon, the Hershey bar, and think "international brand," you'd miss a vital point of investing in the company. "Brand" is not always the magical answer.
Not that all markets will reject Hershey's milk chocolate. For instance, I would think Hershey's chocolate stock keeping units (SKUs) will have a better chance in inland China than in coastal provinces where British tastes would have a larger influence on things. You can pretty much forget huge chunks of the Indian subcontinent and the British Commonwealth countries, as Cadbury and more caramel and sweet chocolates have mindshare and "mouthshare." These issues are key in thinking about investing in Hershey Foods. Figuring out how it is doing in international markets with respect to individual brand SKUs would be pulling teeth, by the way, given the highly secretive nature of the confectionery industry.
The Emperors of Chocolate is particularly useful in its review of Mars, Inc., the maker of Mars bars, Three Musketeers, Snickers, Milky Way, M&Ms, Uncle Ben's rice, and Pedigree and Sheba pet foods, among other things. It's too bad the company isn't publicly traded. It sounds like a wonderful company, balancing out the good and the bad. The management (the company is still a family owned and run corporation and is one of the largest private corporations in the U.S.) of Mars probably didn't like the profiles in the book, because it is publicity shy and the author paints its admirable circumspection as being somewhat strange. Anyone who invests in Hershey or other packaged foods companies would do well to check out this book. Mars Inc. is also a tiger that deserves one's attention.
Overall, this is an excellent introduction to the U.S. confectionery industry and a fine historical work. The author could have used some help on the financial aspects of particular companies, though. That's pretty much the only criticism of the book that I have. Brenner follows in the footsteps of fellow Washington Post reporter Kara Swisher, who wrote the very well done aol.com, in turning a writing assignment for the paper into a great book. Overall rating: 8.5 out of 10 Fool hats.

10:30 a.m. 93A02-1202-EX-145. FACES, Inc., is private, non-profit organization formed to provide social and educational opportunities
for home-schooled children. The founders of the organization are Catholic parents and the majority, though not all,
of the members are Catholic. At the time this dispute arose, FACES offered a number of educational courses, none of
which related to religion. FACES also sponsored occasional social events. In 2008, FACES sponsored a ball, and
one of the parents, Elizabeth Bridgewater, requested special dietary accommodations for her child, Alyssa, who planned to
attend. Alyssa suffers from a condition that can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction if she eats certain foods.
The Bridgewaters were unhappy with FACES' treatment of their daughter's dietary needs and filed an accommodation
complaint with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission ("ICRC"). Shortly thereafter, the Bridgewaters
were expelled from FACES. They filed an additional complaint with the ICRC, alleging that FACES had retaliated against
them due to their filing of the accommodation complaint.
FACES moved to dismiss the complaints, arguing that the ICRC did not have jurisdiction over FACES, which it characterized as a religious-based organization. An ALJ ultimately ruled that the ICRC did have jurisdiction under Indiana's Civil Rights Law ("ICRL") because FACES' functions "relate to" education. See Ind. Code § 22-9-1-3(1)(4). The ALJ later ruled on the merits of the Bridgewater's complaints, concluding that FACES did not commit an unlawful discriminatory practice as to accommodating Alyssa, but did commit an unlawful discriminatory practice when it expelled the Bridgewater family after they filed the accommodation complaint. The ALJ awarded the Bridgwaters $5000 in damages and ordered FACES to: (1) cease and desist from retaliating against persons because they filed a complaint with the ICRC; (2) post a link to the ALJ's order on all web sites on which they have communicated information regarding the case; and (3) offer reinstatement of the Bridgewater family to full membership, including all benefits. Both parties appealed, and the original order was affirmed in all respects, except in that the ALJ decreased the amount of damages to $2500.
Both parties now appeal. The main issues raised on appeal relate to the ICRC's jurisdiction over FACES and the corrective action FACES was ordered to undertake. In addition, the parties challenge the ALJ's conclusions as to accommodation and retaliation, and damages.

Bucks Fall to Blazers in OT
Milwaukee 115, Portland 120
Box Score, Photos and Video
Notebook: Trail Blazers 120, Bucks 115 (OT)
Kerry Eggers, for NBA.com
Posted Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:36 AM - Updated Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:36 AM
THE FACT: Portland is 20-4 against Eastern Conference opposition, the best mark by any West team this season.
THE LEAD: Damian Lillard's driving layup with 4.9 seconds left sent the game into overtime, and Portland scored a franchise-record 22 points in the extra session to pull out a 120-115 victory over Milwaukee at the Moda Center.
Wesley Matthews scored 26 points, including the 3-pointer that put Portland ahead for good in a game that saw 23 lead changes and 15 ties. Mo Williams came off the bench for a season-high 23 points and forwardNicolas Batum collected 21 points, nine rebounds and nine assists for the Blazers (44-24), who won for only the second time in seven games.
Knight scored 24 points and Sessions came off the bench for 23 points for the Bucks (13-55), who lost their fifth straight game and eighth in their last nine outings. They own the NBA's worst record.
QUOTABLE: "They gave us a new lease on life. We were down. We were like, 'We can't believe this. We needed this game.' We knew the magnitude of it. Once we got to overtime, it was like, 'Whoo, we got the 48 (minutes) behind us. Let's go out and win this game.'"
-- Mo Williams
THE STAT: The Bucks made only one of two foul shots four straight times -- twice each by Brandon Knightand Ramon Sessions -- over the final 1:42 of regulation, opening the door for the Trail Blazers.
TURNING POINT: Portland trailed 103-102 with 2:36 remaining in overtime, but Lillard scored nine of the Blazers' next 12 points and they took a 114-107 lead with 25 seconds to play.
HOT: Lillard scored 15 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.
NOT: Portland forward Dorell Wright, starting for the injured LaMarcus Aldridge, was 0-for-8 from the field, including 0-for-7 from 3-point range.
QUOTABLE II: "You can look at the (missed) free throws, but we had other opportunities to win that game. The guys played really hard for four quarters, and even in overtime we did some really good things. I was proud of the effort. Portland is a good team even without Aldridge."
-- Milwaukee coach Larry Drew
GOOD MOVE: Stotts went small through the fourth quarter and overtime, with 7-footer Robin Lopez, small forward Batum and guards Matthews, Lillard and Williams.
BAD MOVE: Drew went too long with rookie guard Nate Wolters, who never found a rhythm. Wolters was 1-for-5 from the field and finished with four points, six assists, four rebounds and five turnovers in 38 minutes.
QUOTABLE III: "Give Milwaukee a lot of credit. (The Bucks) have had a long season. (Coach) Larry Drew has done a great job of keeping them competing and playing hard. They played hard the whole way. But we didn't come out with the urgency we needed. ... I hope we understand we were very fortunate to win the game."
-- Portland coach Terry Stotts
NOTABLE: Portland's 22 points in overtime was the highest total in the NBA since 2011. ... Batum scored 14 of Portland's first 18 points and had 16 in the first quarter. ... Lillard joins Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Kyrie Irving as the only players since 2002 to score 3,000 points in their first 150 games. ... Lillard started the game shooting 1-for-10 but finished 7-for-21 from the field. He was 1-for-11 from 3-point range. ... Aldridge missed his third straight game with a sore back, and Stotts calls him "doubtful" for Thursday's date with Washington. ... Ersan Ilyasova, who missed Milwaukee's 101-92 loss to Charlotte Sunday and has been in and out of the lineup all season with a sore ankle, started and finished with 12 points and nine rebounds before fouling out. The Bucks will not play Ilyasova in the second of back-to-back games the rest of the season, however. ... O.J. Mayo, who has lost his spot in the Bucks' rotation, sat out his fifth straight game.
UP NEXT: For the Bucks, Thursday @ Golden State, Sunday @ Sacramento, Monday @ L.A. Clippers. For the Trail Blazers, Thursday vs. Washington, Saturday @ Charlotte, Monday @ Miami.
On the overall effort of the team tonight and Ramon's end of game free throws:
"I mean, he missed them, but we had other opportunities to win that game. Certainly you can look at the free throws and say that, but there were other plays that happened that put us in position where we could have won the game, not just those free throws. The guys played hard, they played really hard for four quarters and then I thought even in overtime we did some really good things and, as I told them after the game, I was very proud of their effort and I wanted those guys to know because this Portland team is a good basketball team even without Aldridge. They got some guys that can really score the basketball. They've been putting a lot of numbers on the board and I was really proud of the effort from my guys."
On Portland's 39 three point shots taken and Milwaukee's effort to defend them:
"Well, we knew coming into this game that we were going to have to defend that three point line. They spread you out and they let it go and we had to defend the three point line. They had some good looks where they just missed shots, but that was one of the things that we really had to defend coming into this game was to get to that three point line and with a lot of long shots we knew there would be a lot of long rebounds. Our other concern was just to try to control the glass, but we knew they were going to let it go."
On great individual efforts within the team tonight and positives to take from the game:
"Yeah, there are. I think if you look at [Chris Wright] who struggled the first half, I thought he came back and did a better job offensively the second half and he did a better job defensively the second half. I thought [Ersan Ilyasova] played well the second half, [Zaza Pachulia], I think he finished with 17 and 13, he played well. [Ramon Sessions] came in off the bench and gave us a big lift. I thought [Giannis Antetokounmpo] did well while he was in there, Jeff Adrien, but we had some guys that played well, you know, just unfortunate that we didn't finish the game the way we hoped that we could, but hopefully we'll build off the effort and learn how to finish games moving on to Golden State."
On the result of the game tonight:
"It's our fault. We can't start looking around, it's our fault. We have to realize one thing, little things that if we had done a little bit better, I'm sure we would have won the game tonight because the effort was there and we fought all the way through even though it's midnight in Milwaukee, we fight for 52 minutes. But again, we have to learn. It's a young team, we have a lot of young players and little things matter especially when you're trying to play and compete in a high level like this and play against a great team like the Portland Trail Blazers. The little things matter."
On Ramon's foul shots at the end of the game:"He can't look at that. I mean, we can't be talking about Ramon's free throws. I'm sure there were some mistakes in the beginning of the game too. I'm proud of the guys and we really put effort in in this game."


text: Hi guys, so I've been looking around to see about getting started with a pair of westars, I've checked out a couple of threads but i don't know what some of the models people are talking about. can someone explain what MR and Rubies blasters are? and how to make/get them?

Missed Connection: Right-Wing Media Come Up Empty After Trolling Craigslist For Paid Occupy Wall Street Protesters
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
Desperate to discredit a growing movement to hold Wall Street accountable for exploding income inequality, right-wing media figures have turned to trolling Craigslist.
For years, the Working Families Party has used the popular website to recruit canvassers to organize communities and engage in traditional grassroots lobbying -- often using hot button issues as a way to catch the eye of potential workers.
Dan Cantor, executive director of the Working Families Party, tells Media Matters:
This is a standard job description for our entry level canvass job. We hire canvassers year round to knock on doors and discuss our agenda with voters, including job creation, public financing of elections, reigning in Wall Street greed, and a lot more. And any one of our canvassers can tell you that these issues -- the same issues the Occupy Wall Street activists are trumpeting -- are resonating with the people they talk to at the doors.
Since late September, the Working Families Party has been tapping into the mounting anger at Wall Street to recruit workers.
Harry Siegel at The Village Voice explains:
The latest twist came today as bloggers took note of what to the uneducated eye appears to be a run-of-the-mill Craig's List ad of the sort that left-leaning groups like the WFP and NYPIRG have run for years, under some topical banner, to find kids willing to take low-paying, rather lousy canvassing jobs. The ad, for $300-$650-a-week "immediate hires," ran under the banner "FIGHT TO HOLD WALLSTREET ACCOUNTABLE NOW! MAKE A DIFFERNENCE GET PAID!" [sics all around]. It reminded me of the Voice classified that resulted in a miserable summer at 17 begging door-to-door for the Sierra Club.
"Gateway Pundit" Jim Hoft and Hot Air's Ed Morrissey have tried to portray those ads as evidence that the Working Families Party was "paying Occupy Wall Street protesters."
Fox -- no friend to the Occupy Wall Street movement -- was quick to amplify that messaging:
And on Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh got in on the fun:
TJ Helmstetter, communications director at the Working Families Party, made clear that the claims are outright falsehoods, telling Media Matters:
We support the Occupy movement wholeheartedly, but we're not paying protesters to be in the park. That's a myth.

Police Officer Probed Over Chick-fil-A Sandwich
A veteran Dallas police sergeant is under investigation after two lesbian officers complained that he brought a Chick-fil-A sandwich to work – and made comments they alleged were inappropriate.
The incident occurred last week on "National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day," an event created to show support for the restaurant chain's position on traditional marriage.
Sgt. Mark Johnson, a 12-year veteran of the police force is accused of placing the sandwich bag in front of the two lesbian officers and making comments they found offensive.
Exactly what was said is unclear.
The Dallas Morning News reported that Johnson told the pair he had eaten at the restaurant that day. The officers apparently felt the sergeant was trying to send them a message, the paper reported.
"I just think there's a misunderstanding between the two over the Chick-fil-a sandwich," said Ron Pinkston, president of the Dallas Police Association.
Pinkston's organization is representing all three officers in the dispute.
He said Johnson was leading a "detail" report when he read a bulletin advising officers of an anti-Chick-fil-A protest scheduled two days later.
Pinkston said Johnson was just doing his job.
"The sergeant's job is to get up in front of the detail and read bulletins," he told Fox 4 News. "One of the bulletins that day was a bulletin about the Chick-fil-A project. It just compounded it."
The Daily News reported that the two lesbian officers told supervisors that Johnson was looking at them as he read the announcement.
Internal Affairs has launched an investigation. Meanwhile, Johnson has been reassigned to the overnight shift at the jail.
Pinkston said told Fox 4 News that he is upset with how Johnson has been treated.
"Boom – he just got transferred overnight without even asking him his side of the story," Pinkston said. "That's the big issue for us – no due process."
Asst. Chief Michael Genovesis told the Dallas Morning News that he had heard both sides of the matter and said he will let the investigation play out.
"Clearly there was some conversation between him and a couple of subordinates regarding Chick-fil-A," he told the newspaper.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Think about the different places various kinds of plants and animal live. As you know, many, like penguins and cacti, can only live in certain places.
Now think about times you've dug a hole in the ground. Did you notice differences in the color of the soil layers? Did you wonder what causes those color differences?
Lots of different kinds of bacteria make their home in the soil. Some are photosynthetic (foe-toe-sin-the-tick). Light provides the energy they need to grow. Photosynthetic microbes live in specific kinds of light. To some, too much light is as harmful to them as no light at all.
Different bacteria also need different amounts of oxygen. In mud, the surface area has lots of oxygen. Further below the surface, the mud lacks oxygen. Bacteria that need oxygen to live are called aerobic /air-oh-bick/ and live at or near the surface, while bacteria that don't need oxygen are called anaerobic (an-air-oh-bick) and live deeper in the earth.
In this experiment you'll explore some of the factors that determine where bacteria can live. Print out these pages and follow the directions to do this experiment at home. When you're done, come back to this page to test your newfound knowledge by answering the questions below. (No fair peeking at the answers before you've done the activity!)
Note: This is a long-term experiment. It will take 3-4 weeks for bacteria to grow before you can get full results.
You'll Need:
What To Do:
1. Wash your hands before starting. (If you have a cut or wound, you should wear latex or rubber gloves when collecting and working with soil.)
2. Shred a sheet of newspaper into thin strips and set it aside.
3. In the 2-gallon bucket, add five or six cups of soil or mud from one of your collection buckets. Pick out all the sticks, leaves and pebbles. While stirring, slowly add water (collected from the same source) to the soil until your mixture becomes like thick cream. The amount of water you need to add will depend on how wet your soil is at the start. Add the shredded newspaper and one tablespoon of powdered chalk. Mix the contents gently. Make sure the mixture is wet enough that it will flow easily through the funnel.
4. Using masking tape, make a label for one jar or bottle with the name of the soil source on it (e.g. My Backyard). Using the funnel, pour approximately a half-inch of your mixture into the jar or bottle.
5. With one hand covering the opening of your jar and the other holding the base, gently tap the base a few times on a hard surface to allow the mixture to settle evenly. Continue to fill the jar, gently tapping the base every few inches, until it is filled to within two inches from the top. Close the lid or cover the bottle tightly with plastic wrap secured by rubberbands.
6. Repeat the process to fill each of your jars/bottles with soil or mud collected from a different place. (Rinse out your 2-gallon bucket well in between mixing each new batch.) Be sure each new jar/bottle is labeled properly.
7. Place your jars/bottles in a well-lit place, but not in direct sunlight. If you wish, shine indirect light on the jars/bottles with your lamps. Keep them out of heat and at room temperature.
8. For three or four weeks, observe the jars/bottles daily looking for color changes in the mixtures. Record your observations in a notebook. Draw, label and color a picture of each of the jars at the end of each week.
This experiment is based on an activity developed by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

Obama's new gay marriage stance: Another thinly veiled ploy to win votes
posted at 12:14 pm on March 17, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Salesmanship, it has been said, is the art of telling people what they want to hear. Once you've closed the deal, it doesn't matter whether the engine turns over, whether that "imperfection" in the sweater is noticeable to others, whether the vacuum cleaner works. All sales are final. Caveat emptor. Oh, and have a nice day.
For Barack Obama, the nation's salesman in chief, events of the past 3 years have necessitated revisions to his sales pitch that appeared wildly inconsistent at times. He introduced his plan to overhaul the nation's health care system with the boast that insuring an additional 30 million Americans would cost less. Within a matter of months, the money-back guarantee had shifted to "it will be deficit-neutral," which over the past year underwent yet another refinement. Now his handlers and MSM water-carriers are reporting that "it will cost more but not as much as 'they' say."
In 2008, he sold his candidacy on the promise that he would reject the Washington political paradigm of selling favors to special interests. Last month he went back on his word, but again White House spokesmen had an excuse: The move, they insisted, would level the playing field, so it was OK.
Among the tougher sells Obama has faced are positions on issues that were hotly debated before he reached the Oval Office. One of these is same-sex marriage, an issue on which the president has made his views "perfectly clear." Namely, he personally opposes it and believes that each state should decide for itself whether the definition of marriage should be altered to accommodate gay couples.
At least that was the case yesterday, when the president put himself on record as opposing a ballot measure in North Carolina that would forbid same-sex marriages in the state. Said Cameron French, Obama's campaign spokesman for North Carolina:
While the president does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the record is clear that the president has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples.
But that argument is bogus. Civil unions already extend the rights and benefits to same-sex couples that are enjoyed by heterosexual couples. Nope, this is another flat-out change in spiel cynically crafted to win votes. If the president is, as ABC News reports,"'evolving' on the issue" of same sex marriage, it is purely in the interests of political expediency.
Consider: His chances of reprising his victory in the Tar Heel state, which he won by a hair in 2008, are remote. His approval rating there, though up slightly in recent months, is still under 50%. Pollsters point, moreover, to two overarching problems for Obama in reclaiming the state. One is a 3.4% increase in independent voters. The other is a 5.4% drop in registered Democrats.
The president's sudden advocacy for gay unions is, thus, not so much a change in attitude as it is a bone that he hopes will re-energize his flagging Democratic base.
