Five Stairsteps – The Complete Curtis Mayfield Years (Five Stairsteps (Windy C)/Love's Happening) (plus bonus tracks)
CD (Item 574388) Outta Sight (UK), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy
A pair of killer albums from The Five Stairsteps – 1967's self-titled set for Windy C – plus '68's Love's Happening by The Five Stairsteps & Cubie – together with bonus track on this great set from Outta Sight UK! The Five Stairsteps album is a landmark batch of sweet soul – recorded by the still youthful group that included a 13 year old Kenny Burke! The kids were brought together by their parents Clarence and Betty Burke, but it was Curtis Mayfield who really gave them a push – as he discovered them, produced them, and wrote some excellent songs for them during their best early years. Mayfield's sweet soul style forged with The Impressions runs through most of these tracks – and although the group is young, they really do a fantastic job with the material, and infuse it with a soulfulness way past their years. Titles include "Danger She's A Stranger", "World Of Fantasy", "Ooh Baby Baby", "Don't Waste Your Time", and "Behind Curtains". Love's Happening might be the best record ever by this Chicago soul group! The record's got a full batch of original tracks written and produced by Mayfield – including their amazing, funk steeped version of "Don't Change Your Love", with a breakbeat that lit up the sampler culture for years! That raw drum sound is in effect on even the more delicate numbers, and the lead vocals and harmonies soar or sink deep to the soul, as the groove demands. There's also some kind of tripped out touches in the production in spots, making for a nice balance of sweet soul and leftfield touches. Kind of an underappreciated effort in the grand scheme of Curtis Mayfield productions, but wholly essential! Other titles include "Stay Close To Me", "New Dance Craze", "Baby, Make Me Feel So Good", and "Little Young Lover". 5 bonus singles in the set: "Ain't Gonna Rest (Til I Get You)", "You Can't See", "Change Of Pace", "Madame Mary" and "We Must Be In Love". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

VisitBritain forced to withdraw global poster campaign after typo
VisitBritain's global £25m 'Great' campaign, created with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), has been forced to withdraw part of its activity in the US after someone spotted a typo in the spelling of Brecon Beacons.
VisitBritain: launched its global £25m Great campaign earlier this month
The campaign, created by Mother, misspelled Brecon Beacons in Wales, calling the area the "Breacon Beacons", on a set of outdoor creatives running in the US. The poster showed a picture of a Welsh outdoor space alongside the words "Countryside is Great".
The copy continued, "Discover the untouched beauty of Britain's ancient woodlands", while attributing the accompanying picture to the area of "Llandovery, Breacon Beacons, Wales".
The poster was part of VisitBritain's attempts to harness the anticipated feelgood factor of the London 2012 Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It was due to feature in newspapers and outdoor sites around the world.
The typo was spotted on a New York subway ad by a tourist who has friends from the Brecon Beacons and posted it on Facebook.
Elizabeth Daniels, the managing director of Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages, told WalesOnline: "It is unbelievable that such a basic mistake can be made.
"We have been working for the last 30 years to market the Brecon Beacons and are delighted that Visit Britain are promoting this quiet and relatively unknown area.
"It is an enormous shame that potential travellers from New York will be Googling Breacon by mistake."
Officials at Visit Britain blamed the expensive mistake on a US proof-reading error. VisitBritain today confirmed the poster had been withdrawn, but stressed the mistake was from an "earlier version" of the campaign running in America, which had been corrected by the time it launched in the UK, on 9 February.
A spokesperson for VisitBritain said: "This stems from an earlier version of the Brecon Beacons creative. The mistake was picked up before the launch of the campaign in London and was subsequently amended.
"Unfortunately, it appears some of the incorrect images still went out with the first production run of our adverts."
Toby Sargent, spokesman for the DCMS, said that the department "regrets" the mistake.
He said: "It was a proof-reading error that was corrected immediately and we apologise to the people of that region."
UPDATE 2/3/2012 - A spokesman later sought to downplay the mistake further and said that there had been 'nil' cost involved with the error. He added that VisitBritain "had not withdrawn the poster from the global campaign, and that the train carriages in New York would continue to display the picturesque bluebells image".
He added: "While we appreciate there was a mistake, anyone searching for 'Breacon Beacons' on visitbritain.com - which is the call to arms on the image campaign - will be shown product, events and destination information for the Brecon Beacons."

Last year I decided to wind down my activities on the blog, instead concentrating on my job and take F1 as a hobby, and not the full time job it turned out to be. In return, I have made a few but – in my own opinion – good articles here and there and wouldn´t you know it, I have been given an award!
Tom D´Silva out of London, my second home by the way, has rewarded me the Dragon´s Loyalty Award. I have been writing for several years and enjoyed a very succesfull 2011 and 2012, with the daily hits in the tens of thousands. I couldn´t ask for more it seemed. And then I am presentd with this award, which means that even after I have decided to turn down the frequency of articles, a lot, a lot of people are still enjoying the blog.
Thank you.
The rules when receiving the Dragon´s Loyalty Award is, that I post the award photo on the website/blog, so…here:
Then, I must mention the blogger who awarded me. This one´s easy. His name is Tom D´Silva and his blog can be found right here: http://tomdsilva.wordpress.com/
List 5 things that others might find interesting about myself.
1: I have never worn high heels.
2: I once played the drums in a Rolling Stones tribute band, Purestones.
3: I make the best smoothie known to man.
4: I cannot hang a shelf on a wall and make it straight. No matter how I try.
5: As a 40 year old, I am too old to be a fanboy, but I believe that Fernando Alonso is one of the best F1 drivers in the past 20 years.
I am now supposed to award another blog, but I rarely follow any. However, I will link to my friend´s blog, which can be found here.

welp, reading rick santorum's twitter was a mistake
The truth is, I'll probably be rumbling and stumbling for the rest of my days, rocking to voicemail while the chaos around me rages on. It's nothing compared to to chaos within me, after all--I write stories.
And, look, I'm quite out of my mind, actually, but people tend to find me amusing? I can't imagine why, unless it's morbid fascination.

This more or less sums up Elvis personalityOriginally Posted by howardrobardhughes
Elvis had an exceptional ear for music and arrangements; he played guitar, drums and piano fairly well.
That guitar you first hear in ?That?s alright mama? Elvis is playing that.
The electric bass guitar on Treat me Nice, that?s Elvis playing that, his own bassist Bill Black, an experienced player of the stand up bass, couldn?t get the hang of it. But Elvis was able to.
That slow shuffle you hear on the drums in ?I Was The One,? Elvis had DJ Fontana add that to create the sound he was looking for the, the sound he imagined in his mind of how the song would be.
Lets talk about ?Heartbreak Hotel,?
Elvis did not write it,Mae Axton gave him this song;
RCA did not want this to be Elvis first release.
Elvis wanted it, he arranged it, and he created the sound that you hear on the record.
Listen to the Million Dollar Quartet, it is clearly Elvis who runs the show, singing, playing the guitar and the piano, Jerry Lee was just along for the ride. There are many other songs from the 50?s to the 60?s to the 70?s.
Elvis, unlike Chuck and Little Richard, always showed respect for his fellow artists, Elvis would always say, there is room for everyone.
As far the title ?King?, Elvis never liked it, he said their was only one king, Jesus Christ, you can blame the public and media for proclaiming him that, not like some other self proclaimed kings.
Wade ( HRH )
This more or less sums up Elvis personalityOriginally Posted by howardrobardhughes
Perhaps you meant to say underrated then, Wade?
...you won't forget me when I go.
I was using " overated as a musician ? " as thread bait...
...you won't forget me when I go.
All of what you wrote is so true. As for Mae Axton (Country star Hoyt Axtons' mother) giving Elvis "Heartbreak Hotel" I believe that is true, but I believe that any other time Elvis was given song writing credits, it was the Colonels idea. (Otis Blackwell's songs are a good example) I don't believe for a minute that Elvis ever said give me song writing credit or I won't record the song. He just wanted to make music. As for his ear for music and arrangement there are plenty of good examples. The 2001 intro into C.C. Rider is one and if you play attention to TTWII you will see him arranging "Bridge Over Troubled Water" where he points out that he wants certain backup singers (the male voices for example) to accentuate certain parts of the song. I also believe that it has been stated over and over that at his very first RCA recording session it was clear who was in charge and who knew what they wanted from each song and it was Steve Sholes LOL. Just my 2 cents worth.
Wade. No one could have said it more clear! Elvis was in one word a miracle I think and maybe he knew it. I heard about a story that elvis had a vision a couple of times in his early years. In that vision he saw a man in white. As he became older he realized he had seen himself. I don't know if this is another so called "true" story, but I liked it and I believe his first girlfriend told it.
Be safe and take care,
Christel (TCE)
Wade, i think that we got to see elvis being call as a KING on the way he was as a musician,...for more better words an entertainer,...he might not enjoyed being call that way but he always giving so much pleasure to his fan on every shows he made, thats why they call him as a KING..King in Music.
BTW , he cant be called as underrated musician as you were saying to lonniebealestreet, wake up...the man has sold more than one billion records ... (h)
I believe that Elvis was/is the King...not of just Rock and Roll..but the King of all music..He not only changed music as we know it...but changed society as a whole....
There is an Elvis influence in almost every aspect of entertainment...
The segment at the end of "Aloha,From Hawaii"...where Elvis gets down on one knee,thrusts both fists in the air...stands up...someone hands him a CROWN...he grasps it as he exits the stage....it's breathtaking..
I've watched and analyzed this footage 100's of times...
It's a "PERFECT" moment...
I've never seen one better..
every other entertainer pales in the SHADOW of ELVIS...especially in ALOHA..

When I first dabbled in coding years ago, I got delusional. I think it happens to a lot of people… Looking at many of the companies that are getting funding today, it's easy to think "I could build that, and if I do people will flock to it, which equals a successful business!"
It's easy to think that a web application, with the right features and API connections, equals a business. But, from experience and making lots of mistakes, I've realized how important it is to balance technology, content, and users, instead of planning and building just the technology (or product) assuming the other two will follow.
I'll use DeviceKnit as an example. It was started in early 2010 as a user-generated content site where people share the ways they're using their own electronics together to help others find ways to get the most from devices they own.
We set out with an audience in mind, but instead of talking to potential users as much as we could have and developing the content, we spent way too much time building the site itself, and then, only after months of development, started getting it in users' hands and getting feedback, and finally started creating content.
It was very easy to get locked into thinking about cool features we could build, but at the time we didn't realize that's completely useless if no one has told us it's what he or she wants.
Working this way lets you come up with a grand idea that's far from a business. Warning signs: you pitch as "we're going to build a platform for _" or "we're going to build _, and then the same thing in many different verticals!" or your pitch sounds more like a list of features.
DeviceKnit got into an incubator too early. We should have had a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) generating revenue before even thinking of applying to any kind of accelerator program. Here's a quick overview of DeviceKnit from late 2009 to today:
- Had basic idea
- Had more ideas to make it into a huge business
- Got carried away looking at it from a high level
- Designed a few wireframes (almost technology/product, but not really)
- Realized how bloated the idea was
- Removed the ridiculous parts that wouldn't be included for years
- Got into an incubator (and got money) to work full time on it
- Contracted an AWESOME designer (in hind site, the best investment we made, but it was too early… this is the first bit of the "technology" part)
- Started building prototype (Finally! some "technology")
- Spent months trying to build our first version and integrate it with our designs with wayyy to many features and without talking to people about it (technology)
- Launched with a little content and no committed users (lack of content and users)
- Raised a little more money from angel investors so we could pay ourselves to keep working on it full time (Probably the biggest mistake: raising money to pay ourselves to work on an un-tested idea full time!)
- Added content slowly and spent money quickly (content)
- Slowly started making revenue, slowly added more content (content)
- Started taking features out and refining it (based on feedback) into what should have been our minimum viable product as the site grows (technology)
If you watch people pitch at the Launch conference or TechCrunch Disrupt, one of the biggest things you'll hear VCs and other judges ask many of them about is "distribution"… or if you build this idea, how will people find out about it? How will your application break into their workflow?
Think about building up an engaged audience (users) FIRST. DeviceKnit could have started as a simple blog that featured the kind of content we wanted people to eventually submit on the site, even if we just reblogged other content from around the Internet. The technology part would already be built (WordPress or any CMS), and then we could start building content ourselves and conversing with people about it (potential users). What is the blog-only equivalent of your idea?
My recommendation: Start with the users and content. Find communities and content that are out there now. What are all the potential substitutions for the content or technology your planning on providing? Talk openly with everyone in the communities about the application (the technology or product) you're thinking of building. Ask what would make their lives easier. What they would pay for?
Gauge how excited these people are about any ideas you propose and LISTEN, instead of shaping their feedback to fit your idea and the features YOU think it should have. Re-read that last sentence. You will probably hear things that don't fit perfectly with your grand idea, but remember, that's why you're talking to people now and haven't built anything yet!
Then, start small with whatever content or software your audience thinks will provide the most value. Don't write a business plan. Don't try to raise money. Don't try to get into an incubator/accelerator program, and don't spend days designing your logo. Start building and keep it simple. Learn Rails and deploy on a cloud service like Duostack or Heroku. It is FREE up to this point, except for the time you've invested. You can't code? Give this a shot: http://innonate.com/hope/ (I only recommend Rails here because it's easy to deploy. If you want to go with PHP that's fine, too.)
Build something, but don't get too attached. Remember to think about people and quality content, not just technology. For lots of ideas, it's easy to whip up the technology/product aspect in a week or even a few days. Just look at the products that come out of hackathons! You're idea is mostly worthless until you start getting it into people's hands and hearing what they think of it. Then, you can iterate and shape it to best fit their needs.
In my opinion, only now is DeviceKnit reaching the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. I rebuilt it from scratch a few weeks ago to be only focused on content, leaving out many things from the original version that we thought were absolutely necessary when we launched it, and as it gets simpler it gets better: people are less confused, traffic is going up, and it is making more revenue.
You don't have to take my advice, I just want to help people avoid the same mistakes I made. Do you have feedback for me on this article or DeviceKnit? Hit me up on twitter and let me know your thoughts, I'm @gohnjanotis.
I wrote this guest post on Venturebent after getting to know some of the writers while living in NYC for the summer to get a new project, Broodr, off the ground. I was amazed how strong the startup community was here, the quality of tech talent, and how many great new people I met through random startup events. If you're looking for a change of scenery and interested in getting a company started, New York is definitely a place you should consider.

A hobnocker is someone that does something illegal and gross (not to be confused with "hobnobber," which is a cool and awesome geek).
A hobnocker is someone that is addicted to illegal drugs. A hobnocker is an alcoholic. A hobnocker is a derogatory term describing a lowlife and pervert. A hobnocker is a person who goes around slapping people with their genitalia. That hobnocker should be arrested !
4. | hobnocker | ||
"Hobnocker" is a completely made up word from the nickelodeon show iCarly. All of the previous definitions were written to Urban Dictionary AFTER the episode of iCarly with the meaningless word aired early 2009, all of the previous comments being a little bit later on. The only description (from the episode of iCarly) is "gross... and illegal" "You hobnocker!"
---------------From iCarly--------------- Carly: "Whats a hobnocker?" Sam: whispers Carly: "Eww, thats gross!" Sam: "And illegal" |

Military men honor fallen heroes
Updated: August 3, 2012
"Move, right here."
It's a Saturday afternoon at Point Pleasant Cemetery. Rudy Escobar and the Macon County Honor Guard have been here for hours getting ready for a memorial to a fallen soldier.
"Let us pray."
"He deserves it because he put his life on the line for our freedom."
That's why the former marine spends nearly 30-hours a week away from his wife and six kids, making sure these families have closure.
"We are more than honored to do it. We've been out there when it's been 105-degrees, or five or ten below, whatever. We've had four funerals in one day. I'm talking 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the evening."
But, right by his side for 17-years has been his second in command, and good friend, James Parker.
"Jim and I really care about what we do for our veterans."
"He's a good guy. I wouldn't trade him for nothing."
Escobar is a decorated World War II veteran. He met Parker in Decatur, years after he'd been an army soldier in the Korean War and Vietnam. Both wanted to revamp the honor guard which didn't even have uniforms back then.
"It was something that we feel a deceased veteran deserves, so we wanted to do the best job we could for that person."
While both admit the job can be tough on the heart, "When I hear the bugle for Taps, I used to get goosebumps and proably tear up a little bit," they'll keep doing it, not only for the fallen, but the moms they didn't come home to.
"Those are the heroes. We're just out there doing a job that had to be done. We're proud of it."
The Macon County Honor Guard has 32-members. Over the past 10-years, they've traveled a total of 60,000 miles to be part of military funerals and memorials.

Sonoraville hosts Cartersville for Senior Night, the top team in the Region 5-AAA, on Friday night as they look to turn things around.
The Phoenix (1-7, 0-5) come into the game having lost their last five. The latest was against Gordon County rival Gordon Central last Friday when they fell 59-18 at Ratner Stadium.
Sonoraville had little go their way in that matchup which has been the story of the season. The Phoenix have battled constant obstacles, including double-digit injuries to key guys. One of the few bright spots against the Warriors was the play of running back Jackson Murray who had 90 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown.
Cartersville (8-0, 5-0), who are ranked in the top 10 in the state in several polls, come into the game riding high after wins over Adairsville and Gordon Central in the last two weeks.
With a win against Sonoraville, they would clinch the region title.
The Phoenix would love nothing more than to play spoiler against the Canes, especially on a night when they honor their 15 seniors.
The Phoenix have had a very rough season to this point. Inconsistent play along with numerous injuries have made it impossible for them to get any momentum going.
Cartersville is a very talented and disciplined team that could make a deep run in the Class AAA state playoffs.
The Phoenix could be in for a long night at home.
Cartersville 35, Sonoraville 7

Speak Out: Are Schools, Public Places Safe?
In the wake of last week's mass shootings—one at a mall, another at an elementary school—how safe do you feel? Should more measures be put in place to ensure safety?
On Tuesday, a gunman opened fire in an Oregon shopping mall, killing two. Then on Friday, the nation began looking toward Newtown, Conn., in the wake of a shooting at an elementary school that left 27 people dead, including 20 children.
Related news: Newtown School Shootings: News Hub (Newtown Patch)
Though these events happened far across the country, they have to make one wonder: "Could these shootings have happened where I live?"
We shudder to imagine either of these tragic incidents happening in metro Atlanta, but in the wake of these tragedies, we want to know: How safe do you feel in public?
Are our schools doing enough to keep our children safe? Do malls, stores and other establishments do enough to keep the public safe? What safety measures do you want to see put in place in schools, businesses and other public places?
Share what's on your mind with us, and then return here to see what your neighbors in Paulding, Douglas and Cobb have said.

All I can I'd that no matter what you do with gun control or background checks , there are always going to be people that do wrong, and yes for no good reason at all. Trust God and acknowledge Him in all that you do and it will all work out.
N. Ingram

I am personally upset. In a time like this we can only turn to a Holy God.

If we live in fear then evil wins. Be cautious and careful but not fearful. We put ourselves at risk everytime we get in a car but we don't stop driving. I believe we should continue to live our lives and be grateful for every day God has planned for us. As a Christian I know my final destination and trust that God already knows the number of my days and that faith is what caries me.
7:59 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
I've read a lot on social media about this tragic event, and usually it comes back to a few opinions - first being God in schools, and second being stronger gun control laws, and people are on both sides of the fence on this.
I for one do not believe this has anything to do with God not being in schools - God fearing Christians supplement the 7 hours their children are in school with faith based lifestyles outside of school - and as a parent can only raise my child within faith, and hope others do as well.
Secondly, gun laws.. I agree with ammo limits for high powered weapons, and illegal status for automatic rifles and bullet proof vests, but for the most part, laws for the lawful are fine - this happened in Connecticut which has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. The problem is restricting how law abiding citizens get weapons isn't going to stop the criminals from finding weapons - it will just create more victims who cannot defend themselves.
These issues come down to mentally ill people and poor parenting,

We're not seeing the big picture here. The school had locked doors, the killer broke in. Did they have school resource officers like we do? What other safety measures did they take. Georgia schools have armed officers at the schools at all times. We've not had this kind of killing spree here. Is that what is needed in other states or have we just been lucky?
Paul The East Cobb Liberal
1:38 pm on Tuesday, December 25, 2012
Julie, I think we have been fortunate here while Newtown had a horrendous case of bad luck. If you recall, there was an armed security man (I believe an off duty police officer) at Columbine High School the day of that shooting. He exchanged fire with the assasins but was killed. When a maniac enters a school in protective gear and armed to the teeth with assault weapons, no single armed guard --much less a teacher with a handgun-- stands a chance.
10:28 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
We have extended family that have children at the school where this occured. There were pretty strong preventative measures in place, as there are with most schools - processes and procedures no doubt instituted after Columbine. The problem was like you alluded to - this person was determined in their attempt and shot themselves into the school. The 911 call came 1 minute within entry. This type of senseless violence could occur anywhere in our country. That's what is so scary about it

I went to the Hiram Post Office a week or so ago to check my mail. It was on a sunday but it is always open. There was a trash can with fluid leaking out of it, and it smelled like someone used it as a toilet. Nasty. I will not be checking my mail during non-business hours again.
10:52 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
There is definitely less respect for human life in our world than in times past.
I want to pose a question about violent video games that are so prevalent these days. If you combine mental illness with hours of killing "people" playing these games, could it lead to total callousness when shooting real human beings?
11:20 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
I think it is easy to blame something like video games, but the problem is more than just that - violence is glorified in media and I think with our media focus on negative news, that is just as much to blame as a violent video game..Probably has a lot to do with the uptick in depression as well.
I think anything done for hours on end has the ability to affect someone, negatively depending on their mental state and makeup.. But for the 99% of the general population that wouldn't be affected in a negative way, we will blame the games for the actions of that 1%, because society has been conditioned to blame "something" when something goes wrong..
Pam J
4:52 pm on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
I think that one of the things that bothered me when this first happened, was that there were photos of children walking behind law enforcement agents who were holding rifles. We've reached a sad place where we see things like that. And saying that there should be armed guards in our elementary schools. How horrible is it that we have to raise our children that way? Of course, if there had been an armed guard in Sandy Hook, all of those children and adults would still be alive. I honestly don't think there is any good way to stop things like this from happening. Apparently locked doors don't work very well.

I agree. It's becoming more like a prison than a school, now isn't it?
Pam J
9:40 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Well, when I was in school, I felt like I was in prison because you were not allowed to leave or do anything but sit at your desk. My senior year at Osborne, we had a new principal who apparently either hated teenagers or had been in the military because he would plant himself at the parking lot entrance every day at lunch so that no students, with cars, could leave the grounds for lunch. That is what it used to be like. But at least we didn't have any school shootings that I know of. If I had kids today, I would home school them. A lot safer all around.

People are now saying teachers need to be armed. Really, saying more guns Is the answer is equivalent to a doctor telling a smoking-related cancer patient that they need more tar.
7:29 am on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
My sister in law is one of those people. It makes me crazy... In this day and age, with overcrowded classrooms, inclusion based classrooms, disrespectful and unruly students, just all kinds of distractions and challenges - do I really want a stressed out, underpaid teacher in possession of a gun? Or, have a thug criminal punk student know that they can get access to a gun in their class? Or look at the liability issues in schools today - teachers cannot even look at a student crossed eyed today without a parent threatening a lawsuit against the school district.
The fact is, there is no easy answer, and too difficult to address every possible scenario. You can control guns, but like in this case, the person had access through someone else who was legally able to possess the weapons. I personally think we need media reform - stop the 24/7 broadcasting of negative news, because maybe that's the trigger. Some fool sees something like this, and wants to outdo it - each of these incidents seem to be getting worse - stop giving them the 15 minutes they seek, in life or in death..

As a Christian I say we no longer want prayer back in schools. When one is "saved" then he or she already has God in school. Other non-Christian religions do not want to hear a prayer to Jesus anymore than Christians want to pray to Mohammad. If Christians were to try to get prayer back in schools then the Supreme Court would have to be even-handed or fair and allow all religions to have their God and prayer introduced into the schools. I had rather have my children pray at home each morning then be forced to pray at school to a God that was foreign to them.
Pam J
9:33 am on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
I agree. Religion needs to be taught at home and at church.
7:24 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Schools are safer that most places. I just hate politicians are using this as an agenda to get something"done" so they can feel good about themselves.

There is way too much violence in the movies and video games. But don't look to Hollywood to change. That's were the money is being made....violent movies. And the current administration isn't going to try and change that because that is where they get their money to run for office. Guns are a scapegoat. Remember when Rosanne Barr complained about guns? She always had armed body guards.
Bill sparks

Americans get more upset every day. We want more guns on the street. People do not want health care for the less-fortunate. Men shooting innocent bystanders. Citizens want to overthrow the government. At times, it seems like Americans are contestants on "Are You Smarter Than The Third Reich."
Tina Ellis
4:07 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
With regards to school shootings...its every parents nightmare. The person that shot and killed those innocent children at that Conn. public school this past December, was an adult....who had gotten ahold of his mothers firearms, that she aquired legally. It's goes without saying that anyone who has a family member with a mental illness or condition, really might ought to consider not having any weapons period...after all when it comes right down to the nitty gritty....we can defend ourselves with just about anything around us if we had to...right? With regards to school safety...pull your children from public school if you feel their not safe enough. I did. The public schools do not have enough insurance coverage PERIOD for these catastrophes. Betcha everyone who enrolls their kids in school this year will rethink this aspect more seriously. It's become an enter at your own risk deal...if you will. And, its not just school safety alone...it's moral safety. And, with regards to the "0-tolerance bullying" issue...well those are comforting posters, but the reality runs a little deaper than that. Our educators and principles are some of the biggest bulliers/intimidators I have the dispriveledge of witnessing first hand. They talk a good talk, but what really happens after the first bell rings would shock the public! A local principle in our community turned a deliberate blind eye to e-mails and repeated phone calls when my oldest child was bullied!
Pam J

Something happened in Sacramento, California on new year's eve that bears thinking about. Some idiot went into a bar out there and started shooting a gun. He did manage to kill two people, but an armed security guard managed to shoot him before he killed anybody else. Of course, the security guard got shot, but both he and the shooter were not killed. Maybe armed guards in most public places is a good idea. As long as the guard sees the shooter before the shooter sees him. Just like, it's great to have a guard dog, but dogs can be shot. If a bad guy isn't scared away by a bark, more than likely your dog isn't going to stop anybody.
1:26 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
You cannot eliminate crazy.. You can only hope to contain it, and rules and regulations and laws are in place to do that..
That said, I find it a much better mission for our military to have a deputized soldier posted in every school rather than fighting a hopeless holy war in the middle east. Wouldn't cost us a dime more in taxes than what we already pay...

Cool Weather Textures
Worsteds may be the stuff of dressing for business, but woolens (tweed or flannel) are the cloth for less formal cool weather pursuits. They may be more colorful and patterned but they also may not, and in that case their attractiveness comes from their greater surface interest.
That surface interest is best complemented by more of the same, in my opinion. Shirts of chambray, royal oxford and oxford cloth, for example, and wool or cashmere neckties next to madder silk squares.
In the photo, a flannel jacket is paired with a light blue chambray shirt, a striped cashmere necktie and a paisley silk square in keeping with the season.

Is this the jacket from post about suit jackets worn as an odd-jacket? Are you wearing the entire suit in this photo?
The pattern matching between sleeve and shoulder is astonishingly good. The entire piece has a nice solid look about it. - December 13, 2011 at 3:42:00 PM PST

I love the color, pattern, and material of that jacket. It does say "suit" to me, but I think it might work with navy trousers, too (even though I know you don't care for navy trousers, I find they go well with gray and blue jackets).
Another inspiring combination. - December 15, 2011 at 8:48:00 AM PST

Okay. I have a bit of a sorta embarassing problem: I think I hit a dry spell, and I didn't even realize. I noticed this lately...I haven't been getting "any", so I had to pull out the good ole' sex toys, and I notice after I orgasm, my fluids won't come! :? They're like...they're there, but they feel like...you know how white glue feels when you rub it all over your hands, and it starts drying? That's how my toys feel! Idk...is there something I can do to temporarily get rid of it, or is this going to be here for the rest of my life?!? :shock: I never experienced this with my other pregnancy, so I'm hoping it's just a result of the hormones or something.
Any advice or information is welcome. :(

Got a game in against a nid list
3x3 zoanthropes
3x3 warriors with bone swords
slow, stupid, heavy gun type thing. tyrannofex?
- he focused alot on having str 10 ranged attacks with the zoanthropes and tyrannofex. I don't know about the tyrant as it was the first thing to die.
i was playing
2x shooty squad with AC
1x assault squad with x3LC and x2TH
mortis with AC
dread with plasma cannon and heavy flamer
dread with lascannon and missile launcher
Kill Points
Deployment was the half/half type. Dawn of war?
I lost the dread with the LC and ML in the last turn. He was left with 1 zoanthrope in CC with the assualty squad, 1 zoanthrope just hanging out in front of the firing squad, and the tyrannofex type deal on it's last wound. Game ended on turn 5.
Big mistakes on his part:
- Forgetting to specify what was not in reserve and forgetting to bring in his army on turn 1.
- Funneling his forces through the terrain for me to shoot apart easily.
- Deep striking the Trygon right between his army and mine. There wasn't much else to shoot at that turn other than the Trygon.
- Trying to goad me with "You're the only person i know that only fights a retreat. You never advance." While true, it seems to have annihilated his army.
Mistakes for me:
- If I had known about the 3x3 zoanthropes, a librarian might have been nice. His shooting with those squads stunned a raider a couple times. This prevented it from wiping out those squads faster. Maybe the hood would have been helpful.
- popping smoke on the 5th turn with the dread might have saved it for a lossless win. But that's just being greedy. War is not without losses.
Getting the hang of fighting big bug lists. It was his "anti-tank 3" list. He expects me to field all the armor i do. I need to change things up a little and get him/me out of the rut.

text: The nice part about the Litespeed C1R /C1/C2/C3 Derailleur Hanger is that its design places the threads for the fasteners in the hanger itself, rather than in the dropout on your frame. So a stripped bolt hole is no big deal -- an inexpensive fix. It's also a failsafe for your carbon fiber frame in the event of a crash. The hanger is designed to fail before your frame will, again meaning that you have a cheap, easy repair. We've always heard that good preparation is the best defense, so if you have a Litespeed C-series bike, you should have one of these C1R /C1/C2/C3 Derailleur Hangers in your tool kit just in case. Its minimal design is possible because it's made of plated steel and comes with two hex keyed fasteners.

The NSW marine environment is home to thousands of different species of aquatic plants and wildlife. A unique mixing of coastal currents means that about 80% of these marine plants and animals are found only in Australian waters.
But these plants and animals are under threat. Overfishing, pollution, climate change, introduced marine pests, emerging diseases, inappropriate development and lack of adequate protection are all putting our marine wildlife at risk. With only 6.7% of NSW marine waters completely protected in sanctuary zones, there is an urgent need to improve the protection of marine species and ecosystems.
Only by ensuring fisheries and the marine environment are managed in an ecologically sustainable manner will NSW be able to enjoy a socially and economically sustainable commercial seafood industry and a thriving recreational fishing sector into the future.
You can support Nature Conservation Council's marine campaign work by joining our 'Adopt a Shark Program' to help protect our critically endangered Grey Nurses and other species in our fragile marine environment

Belfer Center Programs or Projects: The US-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism
Russia in Review: a digest of useful news from U.S.-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism for the week of June 1-8, 2012
Russia in Review: a digest of useful news from U.S.-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism for the week of June 1-8, 2012.
I. U.S. and Russian priorities for the bilateral agenda.
Nuclear security agenda:
The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved spending legislation that would provide roughly $10 billion for U.S. nuclear arms and nonproliferation operations. The $32.1 billion House energy and water appropriations bill for fiscal 2013 must now be meshed with a Senate version before going to the president for signing. It provides $965 million less than sought by the Obama administration. (GSN, 06.07.12).
Republican and Democratic Members of the House Judiciary Committee introduced "The Nuclear Terrorism Conventions Implementation and Safety of Maritime Navigation Act of 2012" The bipartisan legislation would expand and strengthen U.S. efforts to prevent and combat nuclear terrorism. (Nukes of Hazard, 06.05.12).
According to the president of TVEL, Rosatom will consolidate production of all HEU fuels at the Elektrostal Machine-Building Plant. The plant will produce fuel for naval, transport, and research reactors. The second fuel fabrication facilitythe Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant will continue production of LEU fuel for power reactors. (IPFM Blog, 06.04.12).
The U.S.-Russian Cooperative Threat Reduction Program aimed at disposing of Soviet-built nuclear submarines is nearly completed, the remaining four nuclear submarines will be dismantled in a year or two, Russian Academy of Sciences' Vice President Nikolai Laverov said. (Interfax, 06.07.12).
The U.S. Cooperative Threat Reduction program in April supported security for two nuclear-weapon train shipments and disposal of 70 metric tons of chemical nerve agent. (GSN, 06.06.12).
U.S. President Barack Obama confronted the ultimate security nightmare early in his administrationthe possibility that the Taliban had acquired a nuclear bomb, according to a new book by New York Times correspondent and Belfer Center senior fellow David Sanger. Intercepted conversations between members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan led intelligence agencies to warn the group could have a bomb, and the CIA picked up "chatter" of possible attacks on US cities, the book said. (AFP, 05.06.12).
Iran nuclear issues:
Russia supports Tehrans atomic programme as long as it is peaceful, President Vladimir Putin told Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on sidelines of the Shanghai Security Cooperation (SCO) meeting on Thursday. The Iranian president, meanwhile, called for more cooperation between Iran and Russia as NATO sets its sights on the east, in a likely reference to a missile defence system currently being deployed by the western alliance. ( AFP, 06.07.12).
Russias SCO envoy Kirill Barsky said ahead of the meeting that Iran's request to become a full SCO member could not be met as long as the United Nations has sanctions on the country. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization will definitely expand, probably, through the admission of India and Pakistan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said. (RFE/RL, 06.05.12 Interfax, 06.03.12).
Leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in Beijing said in a joint statement signed at the end of a two-day summit on June 7 that "any attempts to solve the Iranian problem with force are unacceptable and could lead to unpredictable circumstances." The statement said SCO member states were against military intervention into [the Middle Easts] affairs, forcing a 'handover of power' or using unilateral sanctions." The statement also called for the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in central Asia. (RFE/RL, 06.05.12, Xinhua, 06.07.12).
The problem of proliferation of materials and technologies for creating nuclear weapons can be resolved, if third countries, including Iran, turn to the resources of a United States-Russian enriched fuel reserve, said Nikolai Laverov, Vice President at the Russian Academy of Science. (Interfax, 06.07.12).
NATO-Russia cooperation, including transit to Afghanistan:
NATO has concluded agreements with Central Asian nations allowing it to evacuate vehicles and other military equipment from Afghanistan and completely bypass Pakistan, which once provided the main supply route for coalition forces. (AP, 06.04.12).
Leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in Beijing said in a joint statement on June 7 that they supported the establishment in Afghanistan of an "independent, neutral, peaceful state free from terrorism and narco-criminality." The statement also backed an Afghan-led reconciliation process. (RFE/RL, 06.07.12).
U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul apologized for having used the word "bribe" to describe both Washington and Moscow's attempts to secure the military base in the Central Asian country. "I should have said 'economic assistance package,'" he told the audience. (Moscow Times, 06.08.12).
NATO supply and withdrawal are good business: Transit fees already generate some $1 billion per year for Russian freight companies. Optimistic estimates indicate that NATOs Ulyanovsk operation could bring in annual revenues of $1 billion to local air cargo companies and $250 million to the state railroad. (Heritage, 06.04.12).
Counter-terrorism cooperation:
No significant developments.
Missile defense:
Russia will hold partner-like dialogue on missile defense with Western countries if it has guarantees that the missile shield is not directed against it, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday. We would like to receive military and technological guarantees fixed in legally binding documents. Statements like dont be afraid, we promise that nothing will happen are clearly insufficient in the modern world. This is childish. We need guarantees and serious agreements in the security sphere, Putin said in Paris. (RIA Novosti, 02.06.12).
No document on missile defence is being prepared for the upcoming meeting between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Barack Obama at the G20 summit in Mexico, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. (Itar-Tass, 06.02.12).
Leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in Beijing said in a joint statement on June 7 that they rejected the deployment of missile-defense systems either "by one state or a group of states," saying such actions represented a "threat to international security." (RFE/RL, 06.07.12).
Nuclear arms control:
At the start of 2012 eight statesthe United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, and Israelpossessed approximately 4400 operational nuclear weapons. Nearly 2000 of these are kept in a state of high operational alert. If all nuclear warheads are counted, these states together possess a total of approximately 19,000 nuclear weapons as compared with 20,530 at the beginning of 2011. The decrease is due mainly to Russia and the USA further reducing their inventories. (SIPRI, 06.04.12).
The U.S. State Department released the full (unclassified) aggregate data for U.S. strategic nuclear forces as counted under the New START treaty. The data attributes 1,737 warheads to 812 deployed ICBMs, SLBMs, and heavy bombers as of March 1, 2012. This is a reduction of 53 deployed warheads and 10 deployed delivery vehicles compared with the previous data set from September 2011. (FAS Strategic Security Blog, 06.01.12).
A senior-level U.S. Air Force panel has approved a document that formally articulates the need for a new ground-based missile system to replace todays nuclear-armed Minuteman 3 arsenal. (GSN, 06.01.12).
Cyber security:
No significant developments.
Energy exports from CIS:
No significant developments.
Access to major markets for exports and imports:
The Russian government has approved the agreements for the country's accession to WTO and sent them to the State Duma. All documents to become a full member of the WTO must be ratified by Russia by July 23, 2012. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Russia's future membership of the WTO should not be dreaded as a "thriller." (Interfax, 06.06.12, RIA Novosti, 06.07.12).
Other bilateral issues:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke of transition in Syria in a telephone conversation with her this weekend. He himself has referred to the Yemen example, Clinton said. (AP, 06.03.12).
A senior U.S. State Department official, Fred Hof, held talks on Friday with Russian Deputy Foreign Ministers Gennady Gatilov and Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow. U.S. officials have suggested Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent Hof to Moscow as part of an effort secure a transition strategy that the United States says must include Assad's full transfer of power. This week's preliminary round of discussions in Moscow on a post-Assad scenario will lay the groundwork ahead of a meeting between President Barack Obama and Putin at the Group of 20 Summit June 18-19 in Los Cabos, Mexico. (Reuters, 06.08.12,Bloomberg, 06.06.12).
The Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act was approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Two more committees must weigh in before a vote of the entire House, and the Senate has yet to act on its version. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has promised to take up the bill in the foreign affairs committee at their as yet unscheduled next business meeting. He has also said he supports joining the Magnitsky bill with legislation to repeal Jackson-Vanik. The U.S. administration will no longer seek to prevent Congress from passing the bill, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in Moscow. Kirk also noted that once Russia becomes a member of the World Trade Organization, we need to make sure that American businesses have the full advantages of that, and therefore its necessary for us to lift Jackson-Vanik. The Magnitsky bill is unnecessary because U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has already dealt with demands to punish Russian officials involved in human rights violations, Ambassador Michael McFaul said Thursday. (Bloomberg, AP, 06.07.12, Moscow Times, Foreign Policy, 06.08.12).
II. Russia news.
Domestic Politics, Economy and Energy:
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday approved a new schedule for reducing state ownership of companies, which slows down some of the major privatizations. (Moscow Times, 06.08.12).
Dmitry Medvedev defended his authority as prime minister on Monday, insisting he would play more than a "technical" role and playing down suggestions of a disagreement over cabinet appointees. (Financial Times, 06.04.12).
Russian parliament has approved a bill that would raise the fine for participating in an unauthorized protest 150-fold. (Gazeta.ru, AP, 06.06.12).
Russian President Vladimir Putin's top security adviser Nikolai Patrushev said on Friday that foreign-based websites were being used to foment anti-Kremlin protests. (Reuters, 06.01.12).
More than two-thirds of Russians think the Kremlin should begin negotiations with the opposition, but only half of them believe it will happen, according to a new poll by independent Levada Center. (RIA Novosti, 06.07.12).
Russia's central bank governor on Wednesday blamed the deepening euro zone debt crisis for the recent rouble decline, but said the currency will most likely rebound, leaving this year's inflation target of 5-6 percent intact. The rouble trades now at 32.79 versus the U.S. currency, while at its high this year in February it was trading at 29.04 per dollar. Earlier this week, it hit a three-year low.(Reuters, 06.06.12).
Private capital flight from Russia hit $146 billion over the last twenty-one months, with investors withdrawing funds virtually every month. (RIA Novosti, 06.06.12).
Russia's ground-transportable ballistic missile firing pads are to be equipped with a new concealment system designed to disguise markings they leave on the ground, making it more difficult to ascertain their whereabouts. (GSN, 06.01.12).
Russia's latest ballistic missile submarine, the Borey class Yury Dolgoruky, will complete an initial sea trial on June 7, its maker Sevmash shipyard said on Tuesday. (RIA Novosti, 06.07.12).
The Russian Defense Ministry announced that a Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile has been successfully test-fired from a military field in Russia. (RFE/RL, 06.08.12).
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has expressed doubt over the necessity for his country to produce a new line of long-range nuclear bombers. "Look at the current level of air defense and antimissile defensethese aircraft will not get anywhere. Not ours, not theirs," Rogozin said. (GSN. 06.07.12).
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has released its annual report, which shows U.S. at the top of the defense list spending about $711 billion followed by China with $143 billion and Russia with Russia $71.9 billion. Military spending by the U.S. was down by 1.2 percent. Russia and China increased military spending by 9 percent and 6 percent respectively. (Global Toronto, 06.04.12).
Security and law-enforcement:
Court-sanctioned snooping on private phone calls and e-mails has increased 75 percent over the past four years to 466,152 warrants last year. (Moscow Times, 06.06.12).
Foreign affairs:
During the Chinese-Russian summit in Beijing Vladimir Putin said he plans to boost bilateral trade with China to $200 billion per year by 2020, up from the current $83 billion. Putin also said Russia will cement its military alliance with China, including an increase in joint exercises in the Asia-Pacific. The two leaders also issued a statement that said Russia and China are against the use of armed force or threat of force, do not approve excessive pressure on Iran or adoption of unilateral sanctions against it, favour intensified negotiations on issues related to the Iranian nuclear programme and peaceful settlement through dialogue and talks, and call for prevention of further confrontation around Iran. Both China and Russia oppose external intervention in the Syrian situation and oppose regime change by force, the statement said. At the summit Chinese tentatively agreed to invest $3 billion in tourism in North Caucasus and extend a $1.4 billion loan for the construction of an aluminum plant in Siberia. The two sides also agreed to join forces with a Russian aircraft maker to design and build planes and helicopters. (MT, 05.06.12, Russia Profile, 05.05.12).
Russia is not shipping weapons that can be used in the Syrian civil conflict, President Vladimir Putin told reporters in Berlin. (RT, 06.01.12).
A true partnership with the European Union is only possible after scrapping visa barriers, President Vladimir Putin told the leaders of the 27-member bloc Monday. During the EU-Russia summit, Putin defended his countrys human rights record, claiming that Russia has no political prisoners and dismissing criticism of a bill that hikes fines for unsanctioned street rallies. (AP, Moscow Times, 06.04.12).
Nigeria signed a cooperation accord with Russia towards the construction of its first nuclear power plant today at the AtomExpo event in Moscow. (WNN, 06.04.12).
Russia's neighbors:
Russia accused the United States on Wednesday of encouraging Georgia to seek revenge against Moscow for the 2008 war, a day after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton promised new military support to Georgia. On Tuesday, Clinton pledged the United States support for the training of Georgias military in coastal defense and underscored Washingtons rejection of Russias occupation of two separatist regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Clinton said in Batumi (Georgia) on June 5 that U.S. embassies would soon start accepting neutral passports for Abkhazian and South Ossetian residents wishing to travel to the United States. (Reuters, 06.02.12, AP, 06.07.12).
The Chinese president announced at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit this week that Beijing would extend some $10 billion in loans to some SCO members. China will provide Tajikistan with some $1 billion in loans and aid. (RFE/RL, 06.08.12).
Member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization have launched a week of joint military exercises in Tajikistan. (RFE/RL, 06.08.12).
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who visited Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, said the Yerevan-Baku standoff could lead to a "much broader conflict." Several incidents have been reported along the Azerbaijani-Armenian border since June 4, where at least three Armenian and five Azerbaijani soldiers were killed. (RFE/RL, 06.06.12).
NATO is ready to interact with third countries, including Ukraine, on an individual basis to raise anti-ballistic missile defense efficiency, NATOs Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy Dirk Brengelmann said on Sunday. (RIA Novosti, 06.03.12).

I have experience with services such as Zazzle. The problem with them is that during the purchasing process your customer, effectively, discovers that they can have that t-shirt or coffee mug printed for less if they just setup an account with them.
Hypothetical case: You manufacture roller skates and sell them online. You want to offer your customers the ability to order --from you-- t-shirts, coffee mugs and other merchandise that is customized in some form. While this is not your main business it could represent a non-trivial revenue stream.
The problem is that if you go to a service like Zazzle (not picking on them but it is a really good example) you, effectively, expose your customer to the ability to bypass you entirely and order their own custom merchandise through that service.
The ideal t-shirt and merchandise provider would be one that disappears in the background and simply takes and fulfills your orders.
How does one do that?

Anybody got some cotton honey to sell? I'm looking for a few pounds, maybe 2-6 pounds, whatever you got.
Anybody got some cotton honey to sell? I'm looking for a few pounds, maybe 2-6 pounds, whatever you got.
I should have cotton honey this weekend ready to extract. I have a few hives in organic pima cotton. Send me a pm. I know when I checked on them 2 weeks ago they had 3 frames already capped with a bunch ready to cap. Early cotton just started blooming about 3 weeks ago. I should also have comb honey from them soon as well.
I should have some in about a month. Let me know.
I will have some of the best cotton honey produced in about a month.
I replied to your message. Or I will trade or take an offer since I know it has to be shipped. This is from Organic conventional Pima Cotton and my bees are treated organically as well. The hives that are out there are my best producing hives out there. They were very heavy when I was out there 2 weeks ago. I will know Friday how much I will have. Send me an email to HHH_Farms @ wildblue.net take out the space. And I will give you my cell number for you to call. This is great Organic Ca honey.(as organic as you can get with out paying the 1200.00 or so to become certified which I can not afford.) As these bees are on a 600 acre totally organic farm in the middle so they dont have access to anything chemical in there.

Ok just checking my math and readings:
Bees forage up to 3+ miles around their hive
Your bees are in the middle of a 600 acre plot
from the middle of the plot to the edge would be around 12.25 acres or 2557.1875 feet
A mile is 5280 feet
Your bees would only have to fly under 1/2 a mile to get off of the "organic" site.
This leaves them at least 2 1/2 miles that they could get into some chemicals?
Don't see how you can state your honey does not have any chemicals in it when it could.
My 3 cents,
6 Hives
Crescent City, FL
Organic standards are very restrictive, but from a practical perspective, which has nothing to do with strict standards, your bees are probably making "organic" cotton honey. I know from experience that when you place bees next to cotton they are going to make cotton honey. Cotton nectar is abundant and VERY attractive to bees and chances are that they will not stray outside a 600 acre plot. They also get cotton pollen, so two needs are statisfied. Where are they getting water???
I didn't even knew there was such an animal... I never thought about cotton and bees... Duh Ed! Someday I want to taste that. That was my tease for the day. I will be thinking about that now, all day.
There is nothing else around them except wildlife refuge and a river. There are a few houses for workers but that is about it. Nothing else there. There is Almonds in the near by acres that is organic but as you all no they are close to being harvested here in Ca. Being that cotton is all they can get to it would be all they can make honey from. I am not certified organic but I use organic practices. And I tried saying that early on in the post by saying my bees are treated organically. I never said I was certified organic. I can not afford to be certified it is way to costly And I dont have that kind of money. I might do the Certified Naturally grown. But I am looking into that right now.
There water is from the river and when they Irrigate the cotton and the almonds.

Suspect Sets Car Fire with Bible, Attempts Two Break-ins, Police Say
Joliet police say a Romeoville man went on a crime spree before they finally caught up with him.
A Romeoville man who tried to break into two Joliet homes and used a Bible to set a car on fire was arrested by Joliet police Sunday night and charged with felony arson and burglary, Capt. Tab Jensen said. The alleged crime spree began at 16 Melchior Place, where Craig D. Javonte, 21, is accused of breaking a double-pane window and attempting to kick in a door, Jensen said. A neighbor called police, and Jensen said Javonte would likely have been caught inside the unoccupied house had a burglar alarm not scared him off. Less than a block away he came upon an unlocked 2001 Toyota Camry at 11 Mississippi Ave. with a Bible on its front seat, Jensen said. Javonte allegedly placed the book on the car's hood and set it on fire, damaging the …

By: Sarah Blazonis
There's more than a billion of them, they're spreading holiday cheer and they're heading to a mailbox near you. Greeting cards will once again be making spirits bright this season. YNN's Sarah Blazonis has more on who's buying them and what the industry is doing to appeal to the next generation of shoppers.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Just getting one can make you smile.
"Oh, I like to know that people are thinking about me the way I think of them," said Syracuse resident Annamarie Kogut as she shopped at Annie's Hallmark Sunday.
It's a message around 1.6 billion Americans will receive this season. That's how many holiday cards the U.S. Greeting Card Association expects to fly off store shelves in 2012.
"If I can't get in touch with the people personally through the course of the year, I feel Christmas is a good time to get in touch," said Kogut.
"I send some personal cards, but I also send picture cards of my two boys and sometimes my dog," said Laura Caloia, another shopper.
A simple "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Chanukah" will cost you about 99 cents, but specialty cards or saying "season's greetings" with a song could get you up near the $10 range. Shoppers say they don't mind forking over the extra cash for close family and friends, but those sending dozens of cards turn to the boxed option.
"I think it's the most economical, and probably, I bought these boxes, like, two years ago when I saw them somewhere on sale and I managed to unearth them," said Anne Buerkle of Syracuse, who was shopping near the Cicero Target's card section. While shoppers are expected to pick up $427 million in individual cards alone this season, only one in four of those customers is expected to be from the Millennial and Gen Y age groups. But that doesn't mean store owners are worried about the future of their business.
"Once they start having families of their own, we do see the young moms coming in and they also probably have some more money to spend at that time in their lives," said Shelly Mahoney, owner of Annie's Hallmark.
And with shoppers wanting to work new items into their holiday traditions, the GCA expects the tradition to stay strong for years to come.

'Unicorns' pull carts for Halloween hayrides Lebanon Rescue Dept. expected more than 1,000 at annual event
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
LEBANON, Maine — Hurricane Sandy didn't stop the Lebanon Rescue Department from holding its 9th annual Halloween Open House on Saturday night.
