The Champions League Group Stage draw pitted Arsenal with Marseille, Olympiacos and Borussia Dortmund.
In Euro Watch, we take a weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Dijon 2-3 Marseille
Saturday, October 29
Marseille made it three wins on the bounce with a late victory over Dijon on Saturday. Loic Remy and Benoit Cheyrou had given the vistors a two-goal lead as early as the 12th minute, only for Dijon to pull it back to 2-2 with just under an hour remaining. But with the minutes ticking away, midfielder Alou Diarra sealed all three points to take L'OM up to ninth in Ligue 1.
Stuttgart 1-1 Borussia Dortmund
Saturday, October 29
Borussia Dortmund clawed their way back from a goal down to claim a hard-earned point in Stuttgart on Saturday. Serdar Tasci had put the hosts ahead midway through the opening period, but Lukasz Piszczek equalised in first-half stoppage-time to earn Dortmund a share of the spoils.
Olympiacos 2-2 OFI
Saturday, October 29
Olympiacos surrendered a two-goal lead to take home a point from their home clash against OFI on Saturday. Rafik Djebbour and Kevin Mirallas had put the hosts in charge with just half an hour of the game remaining, but two goals in the space of four minutes secured OFI a draw against the Greek champions.

Other than that there are advantages to having them kinda close so you are not spread out too much when working them. Also if you just don't have a lot of space then you work with what you've got and set them next to each other. I'm pretty certain M.B. has his hives right next to each other.

Yeah...I wasn't really sure what the Green ranger one was. It looked like it may of been Link due the Ocarina, but the mask looked like your stereotypical green alien heads from the 90's and the weapon that the red ranger is holding looked to me like a green tail...so I thought the green ranger may of been a reference to a reptilian character, but I couldn't think of the name of the cartoon from back then of the fighting reptile that seemed to lose his tail in about half the episodes due to some sort of misshap. Still though definitely voted on this. Also is the black ranger a reference to multiple things? I thought it was Batman at first, but then was confused by the sword, and remember that the black ranger definitely had a power axe!

Good eye Narfcake. I actually started with a screenshot from the movie, so I am aware it's not exactly the same. I wanted to go "minimalist" with this and the original stapler just didn't have the same visual interest as this one. Since I can't put "Swingline" on the side, I needed some other elements to make it pop. The name plate and the joint fender provided that. Artistic license, ya know? As long as the joke works, I'm okay with the inaccuracy.

Town Square
David Piepho: the eighth member of the Alamo MAC?
Original post made by Hal, another community, on Sep 14, 2010
The volume of comments on the BANG editorial this morning disclosing the nepotism of the Piepho's in protecting their role in Contra Costa LAFCO was celebrated with a great deal of humor among CCC District III neighborhoods. It is hard to imagine anyone claiming that CCLAFCO is a State Agency when CCC-BOS can manipulate who is a member without State review or consent.
Certainly, Assembly Member Buchanan needs to make public review of any process that results in Mary being able to designate her husband's role in a State organization. Such potential conflicts of interest are of district-wide interest and require a State response.
Neighbors do not see it as far-fetched that CCC-MAC policy could be amended to have David Piepho keep an eye on Alamo via participating in the CCC-MAC Alamo.
Is anyone laughing?

Every since Supervisor Piepho got elected she has denied she has anything to do with the developers. It now appears the choir she was singing to was not really there. We should have realized we she called on the Developer Fund(PAC) to spew money $250K all over her election against Houston to discredit him. It was Houstons father that had the problem, however at least Houston was honest. More lies have come out of the Queen Mary's mouth than I care to think about. That guy was a better alternative than the Queen Mary who sleeps with special interest especially when she wants to appoint the special interest of her husband to try and control LAFCO. This is a perfect re-call venue.

Dear Dolores,
The question of David ending his role on the Discovery Bay District Board as cause for removal as LAFCO Vice Chair and Commissioner, here is your reader's answer: if a special district member ceases to be an officer of District A at the same time he/she is simultaneously appointed to District B, he/she maintains his/her seat on LAFCO, as there is no gap in service on a special district.
The second reality is: LAFCOs were created by the State Legislature in 1963; however, we are not State agencies. Contra Costa LAFCO is an independent agency composed of two members from the County Board of Supervisors (BOS), two members from city councils in Contra Costa County, two members from independent special districts in the County, and one representative from the general public. Also, for each category there is an alternate member. The BOS appoints the County members to LAFCO; the Mayors Conference appoints the city members to LAFCO; the Independent Special Districts Selection Committee (ISDSC) appoints the special district members to LAFCO; and the members of LAFCO appoint the public members to LAFCO.
Clearly, in my view, CCLAFCO is an agency full controlled by Contra Costa aggregated politics and should not be considered separate from overwhelming influence by county governments. Any independence is a facade.

Dear Dolores,
This exchange is considering the actions of CCC-BOS in managing their preferences for board, commission, committee, council and taskforce membership. The actions related to David Piepho have little difference from Danville's town council appointing its members. What your readers are asked to consider is how do they wish governments to be constructed? What role should voters have in such construction of governments?
Certainly we can all agree that the power of our votes are important but Contra Costa aggregated politics has been able to control who runs and to insure no matter who is elected nothing will change in the power of the governments to work in opposition to the will and interests of communities, their neighborhoods and residents.
How do we change that result which has been part of Contra Costa County for decades?

Dear Dolores,
I would like to thank Assembly Member Buchanan's staff and CC LAFCO for providing in-depth review and information on the nature of LAFCO operations in the counties they serve. Such information proved LAFCOs are not independent organizations and are highly subject to political and developers' requirements.
Although the State will take an in-depth look at David Piepho's new appointment and retention of his LAFCO position, there is no obvious mechanism for the State or Contra Costa County voters to change the outcome.
We all must thank Daniel Borenstein for alerting us to an obvious lack of democracy in the appointments of LAFCO commissioners.

The news in this morning's paper indicates David's quest for continued influence is now moot after out public outcry. I hope this is one more step in dismantling the Nejedley family flexing their power to support the Contra Costa developers politically riding their Daddy's coattails. ....Mary is next...thank God for the power of the free press....adios David, and we will be watching for your attempts to garner positions on obscure politically appointed positions.

It is good to see the fine folks in the west have realized that the tactics of the Piephos are not for the benefit of residents in Contra Costa. Their actions show total disregard for moral and ethical behavior as supposed leaders. These latest examples of manuvers only reinforce the special personal agenda of the Piephos. From the huge self serving raise at the Board of Supervisor level to the Seven thousand dollar stipend claim at the local level, stretching the rules to the last penny is the Piepho motto. This unethical wife and husband political manipulators must continue to be exposed for the sake of Contra Costa.

Mr. Bailey,
Your comments are very well taken. I think the only way for these types of situations like the Piepho's have placed on Contra Costa citizens is to voice public outcry. Since LAFCO is intermixed in county politics. County politicians need to be affected positive or negative based on the disposition here. Simply spoken, vote these people out that take advantage of our trust. Also let other politicians know of your dissatisfaction in allowing the system to be used as it was not intended. Character of a politician is decided by voters based on their actions. This particular action does and will affect the other political member's involved. As stated, " If you play with dirt you are going to get dirty " This is something that politicians need to understand when they go along with these questionable appointments. Unfortunately, this event has sealed the deal for my voting for someone else regardless. Just as I could never vote for Nixon again, I could never vote Piepho again.

It is an unending pattern of political gamesmanship with the Piephos. No where else in local politics is there anything remotely comparable to Mary and David. We need vote them out. I guess David is already out, but Mary needs to go.
So do all the other local politicians that allow those two to run their games. Let Tom Koch find another tool.

check out today's editorial in the Times " Nepotism Must End ".
Quoted regarding Mary Piepho from the Times'
" It was a stunning display of bad judgement "
" Supervisor Mary Piepho has crossed the ethical line "
Other Supervisors, " weren't going to let Piepho drag them down with her "
" David Piepho, speaking from the public microphone and Mary Piepho commenting from her seat , WHINED that the process had not been fair "
" Her bid to boost her husband's political career angered constituents, alienated colleagues, and WASTED COUNTLESS HOURS OF STAFF TIME"
I noticed Mr. Piepho stating that he thought he was the one to bring the additional letters of recommendation that Julie Enea had failed to provide. Yet, later Julie Enea cleared up that lie by stating she personally handed them to the independent board that morning.
This is such a clear example of what Supervisor Piepho does with her time on our tax dollar. This is insulting. The manipulation and greed for power must stop. Supervisor Piepho must get back to working for the people and not her own self serving political interestes.
I commend the Board of Supervisors for revealing this dishonest move by Mary Piepho. I now feel confident that the BOS have the public at heart and not Mary Piepho's personal agenda. I think Administrator David Twa will think twice if asked to speak at a fundraiser for Mary Piepho in the future. Mary threw some of the blame his way while whining, insulted both Gioia and Glover to their face in public. " While she probably didn't cross a legal line, she certainly stepped over the ethical one." ~ quote from Editor

|I suggest getting the demon and remove thigh hard shell, just keep the tail bone hard shell on. That's what I do when working on boxes.
|Hillbilly Impact Shorts have worked great for me the last two years
I use these:
Demon Snow Shield Short Hardtail - Men's | Dogfunk.com
And I have the azzpadz, they both feel like you are carrying a load in your shorts but the demon shorts are much more comfortable.
|Demon d3o impact shorts. Bomb.
|Who knew? I had two snowboard sessions last weekend (my first) and still cannot sit...
I was learning to butter last weekend and was doing pretty well until the board caught and edge and I fell on my ass. My tailbone hurts like a mother now.
I want to get some crash protection and did a search. This thread popped up.
After 3 years, is the consensus still to go w/ azzpads? Or is there a better/cheaper player out there now?
So I just got these POC VPD 2.0 Ski shorts for x-mas. They're quite comfy - probably the most comfy crash shorts I've put on. I've been a long time user of AzzPads and while I relied on them heavily when I was first starting to snowboard (on my 3rd season). I found they only protected about half my butt-side falls. Many "catch an edge" type falls doesn't result in a tailbone hit but rather a buttocks/hip impact. However a tailbone hit can be potentially "more damaging" if it bruises or breaks your coccyx bone (can't even imagine), so I can see why that's the focus of most crash shorts.
Anyway, I did a search and can hardly find any information on these shorts so I just thought I'd add my first impressions.
You can see here, just how effin large these hip pads are. They are *not* removable. They appear to be 3 ply (as in 3 layers of "Visco Elastic Polymer Dough"), about 1 1/2 cm thick. A tad over 13" long - It covers from my waist line to just above my knee. This is a size large and I'm rather short, just fyi - probably isn't meant to cover so much of my thigh.
Here you can see the 2ply VPD, tailbone pad pulled out (obviously removeable) which is only about 1 cm thick. You'd think they'd offer more protection here than the hip. Either way, nice option to be able to pull it out incase you want to use them as mountain biking crash shorts or something.
About the VPD padding. If you're a little skeptical, that's understandable as it's pretty thin and effing soft to the touch. So I had my buddy punch me in the charlie horse area and he said it hurt his fist! We did this a few times (I like punishment apparently) and I found if i don't flex it still hurts quite a bit. However flexing is like night and day and I feel virtually nothing, pain wise. I think what's happening the impact on the VPD is slowed down greatly when you relax your leg and squishes inward but when it has something hard to sit against, the dough firms up because the rate in which it's getting compressed is much faster... if that makes sense.
Anyway I plan to wear this the next time out - gunna be a while since it's black out time for my pass. I'll give this a try and report back its effectiveness. Maybe even throw on the azzpad on top of it for extra protection when I'm really feeling brave (stupid). Seems slim enough that I could wear both without it feeling that much different than just wearing the azzpad.
More info on these shorts if interested:

I have a medium skeletools and they fit well. Kinda snug around the waist and legs, but I think that's how they're meant to be. If your waist is larger than 33" I'd recommend a large.
I also own a medium azzpadz.
Both work well. Here are the main differences:
1. Azzpadz cost $50.
Skeletools $76.
2. Azzpadz cushion is about 8" wide for both medium and large. 11" long for medium and 12.5" long for large.
Skeletools cushion is about 10" wide and 10" long.
3. Azzpadz protects your butt only.
Skeletools has removable cushions so you can protect your butt, hips, and the side of your thighs.
So if you just enjoy cruising, azzpadz. If you're learning to do tricks on ramps and rails, skeletools.
4. In terms of shock absorbtion, I think both are about the same.
5. Azzpadz can get lifted up when sitting on the lift, so I have to push them down to make sure it protects my tailbone.
Skeletoolz don't get lifted up since it's basically like another pair of shorts, but it can be more difficult going to the bathroom with them on.
I have 6' with 208 lbs. I want to buy some Skeletoolz shorts. What size should I get?
azzpadz or shorts?
Hi all - I think I'm an intermediate or something slightly above a beginner maybe I've spent prob 12-13 days on the board.
I have a tailsaver (tailsaver.com) but thinking of getting something a bit better. Was thinking of an azzpad as they get good reviews on here. Was also thinking though is it better to get a decent pair of hard-tail shorts instead to give more overall padding...
If you were at my level (plan to get stuck into some nice red slopes this winter) but not do tricks etc would you focus on ass protection (azzpadz) or slightly less ass protection but better all round protection for hips / cheeks and get a pair or hardtail impact shorts?
PS - I'm a bit chunky @ 5'7 and c. 190 lbs so I can tend to land hard enough I guess
Thanks for the help!

Another question: Does Jango have a flax vest in Open Seasons, #4? Thanks.
Thanks Seeker
It is my understanding that he is supposed to be the ame as in EPII.
and yes he does wear a flak vest
As I work on my Jaster, I chose a type of anodized metal red and am using the pewter rub'n'buff for the armor.
Kivas, did you decide to make a cape too?
Yup, it's in the works.. so is a jet pack. I am also working on a Jango for my 4 year old at the same time so progress is slower than I'd like.
Very nice!
That is a very nice suit!
thanks all I do have to say after trooping in it once, I need to trim the thigh plates so they don't rub on the Cod piece as I walk.
Now this is what I like to see. Very nicely constructed and worn. The best representation of the Open Seasons Comic book Jango that I've seen to date.

Ahara Sutta: Nutriment
translated from the Pali by Nyanaponika Thera
The Buddha explains how the teachings on the four nutriments (ahara) fits in with dependent co-arising.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .nypo.html
At Savatthi.
"There are, O monks, four nutriments for the sustenance of beings born, and for the support of beings seeking birth. What are the four?
"Edible food, coarse and fine; secondly, sense-impression; thirdly, volitional thought; fourthly, consciousness.
"Of these four nutriments, O monks, what is their source, what is their origin, from what are they born, what gives them existence?
"These four nutriments, O monks, have craving as their cause, have craving as their origin, are born of craving, and craving gives them existence.
"And this craving, O monks, what is its source, what its origin, from what is it born, what gives it existence? Craving has feeling as its source and origin, it is born of feeling, and feeling gives existence to it.
"And this feeling, O monks, what is its source and origin, from what is it born and what gives existence to it? Feeling has sense-impression as its source and origin...
"And this sense-impression, O monks, what is its source...? sense-impression has the six sense-bases as its source and origin...
"And these six sense-bases, O monks, what is their source...? The six sense-bases have mind-and-body as their source and origin...
"And this mind-and-body, O monks, what is its source...? Mind-and-body has consciousness as its source and origin...
"And this consciousness, O monks, what is its source...? Consciousness has kamma-formations as its source and origin...
"And these kamma-formations, O monks, what is their source and origin, from what are they born, what gives existence to them? Kamma-formations have ignorance as their source and origin, they are born of ignorance and ignorance gives existence to them.
"Thus, O monks, through ignorance conditioned are kamma-formations; through the kamma-formations conditioned is consciousness; through consciousness conditioned is mind-and-body; through mind-and-body conditioned are the six sense-bases; through the six sense-bases conditioned is sense-impression; through sense-impression conditioned is feeling, through feeling conditioned is craving; through craving conditioned is clinging; through clinging conditioned is becoming; through becoming conditioned is birth; through birth conditioned are decay and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair. Thus arises this whole mass of suffering."

I am an engineering student and often round up or down, depending on the ease of the problem or situation.
Most everything I design doesn't work.
There were errors. It was a quick review and needed to be posted just as quickly. I notice now what all is wrong and will do all that I can to see that it does not happen again. I do appreciate your guy's feedback and take it all quite seriously.
psss...check for typos and use the appropriate editorial devices in order to correct sloppy grammar, style, spelling, etc, in the original quote! If you don't want to go through the trouble, add [sic], which designates that the error (not to be used for bad style of course) was in the original. Regardless of whether the quote seemed mechanical, it was hillarious for me to see so many errors, followed by the line, "I certainly couldnât have said it any better." I initially tought the line was being sarcastic, but then after reading through the thread, I realized that you were being serious. I suppose you know, but seeing its absence, this is just a reminder!
Of course, I'm a law student, and precision is important. Precision requres at least correct spelling and grammar. For example, whether there is a comma here or somewhere else in a particular law makes a huge difference in how it applies, and is a matter of winning or losing a case!

I will never turn down constructive criticism. Thank you.
Well, i tried to not be blunt, as much as to be a little more descriptive of some slight limitations of the fan, that some may find a bit frustrating if they arent expecting it from the start. I really didnt mean it to be blunt.
As for the quote, i realize what you where shooting for by quoting it. However, it sounded like it came from a machine trasnlater, or from someone who has wnglish as a seconed language. Dunno why that is...thats just the way i read it.
At any rate im glad you where able to take somthing away from it.
|Greg King
The quote was from a previous review that one of our guys had done. I quoted him because he summed up what I wanted to say. With out a decibel meter, I am unable to record the exact amount of noise coming off of each fan. That is why I quoted him.
Yes there are a few instances where the FN82 will not fit but for the most part, it is easy to find a place for it. I will use it primarily for a window fan. The 92mm blades will move far more air than any 80mm that I could put on it. I will include msrp from now on.
I appreciate your critique, no matter how blunt it might have been. I will certainly learn from it.
Good review overall.
But, reading this mechanicly translated sounding paragraph...
I will say that there are certain instances where the FN82 will not fit. As its overwidth is greater then an 80mm fan. And when you have a limited width on a chassis, it simply wont fit. One area where the FN82 excells IMHO is in CPU cooling. Placing in on an HSF that accepts an 80mm fan gives a noticable improvment in performance, and offers some "over cooling" onto surrounding MB components.
Also in SOME instances, where the opening is deisnged for 80mm fan blade placement, the FN82 loses some efficiency, as well as creates some whistling fan blade noise. Becuase the end of the fan blades are beyond the opening of the fan inlet hole, they are in an air void, and that causes some strange harmonic distortions at the tip of the fan blade. Which can be a loud buzzing, to a sharp whistle. And with the narrowed inlet hole, you simply wont move as much air. Also the fan seems to make a fair amount of noise in similar situations where its placed over a stamped fan grill in a typical chassis, where the fan tips are not allowed free air movement.
And it would be nice to see the MSRP of the products somewhere in the review.
|Rob Williams
SilverStone FN81 and FN82
SilverStone has been known to release quiet fans that do a great cooling job. Today we are looking at two models, the FN81 and FN82. Both fans are very similar in size, but are slightly different in styling. Let's check them out, to see what one is better.
Feel free to discuss the review in this thread!

Went to a beaver pond for a quick/easy hunt this morning. We were set up and telling stories by 5:30. Just as the sky starts to lighten, we hear people coming. Two guys carrying a canoe. We make our presence known, but they continue to launch the canoe 40 yards from us, paddle RIGHT THRU my decoys and continue out into the open part of the pond. Its now fifteen minutes prior to legal time! The area they are paddling towards is a roosting area. It didn't look like they had decoys or waders, one of them was just in jeans, the canoe was bright green and the shiny paddles flashed light like beacons. They were planning a jump shoot. I don't mind jump shooting... I do it myself. But to knowingly paddle past people that were there before you, with decoys in the water, to go jump shoot the roosted birds the other hunters are set up to hunt???!! Took my heart rate a while to settle, I tell you that much.
Needless to say, most of the birds that left the pond did so in a hurry. There was no calling them back down.
We did have a mallard pair drop in at about 6:25 and we each shot one.
Saw about 40-50 ducks - a mix of mallards and wood ducks - and three "groups" of geese.
The ducks came thru as singles up to flocks of a dozen... but most were flying with a destination in mind OR were getting out of Dodge after being jumped in the bigger part of the pond.
The first geese we saw were two very vocal birds, but they landed at the far end of the pond. The next one we saw was solo and I knew it would decoy. I called lightly and it worked our way. It did a slow circle, and was doing its closer and smaller circle and getting lower. It was keyed in on the decoys and was almost committed... but still at 45 yards. My cousin couldn't wait... Before I could say anything, he had his gun up and was shooting. Emptied his three rounds and the goose flew off none the worse for wear. Few seconds more and that goose would have been feet down and dropping on the decoys. Oh well. Near the end, we saw a "v" of about 30 geese... I tried my best, but couldn't coax any out of the pattern. They looked to be dropping into a nearby field (but weren't there when I left the pond).
My cousin... four shots - one drake mallard. Me... one shot - one hen mallard.
We could have quit at 6:26 with the same amount of meat going in the fridge. But it was fun to see all the birds and try to get something to slow down.
Eventually the guys in the canoe paddled back to us. We had heard them shoot four or five times earlier. I asked how they made out. They said their shooting stunk and they hit nothing. We chatted a bit about all the shooting at the goose - and no dead goose - and one of the guys said "hope we didn't mess up your hunt too bad". Maybe they will think about it before doing it again. Maybe not. I saw no point in arguing about it. What could I really say. I must be getting older. Not that long ago, there would have been some yelling at 6:00 this morning.
I miss the days when I was the only one hunting this place. I was run out of there last year (people purposely shooting into the marsh to scare birds out while I was hunting) and this year looks like it will follow the same route.
Anyways, here are the two birds from the morning.

My 8 1/2 year old doberman, Chevy, is going through liver failure right now. She is on a few hundred dollars worth of meds each month, as well as monthly lab work and expensive food. She had dropped from 78lbs down to 46.2 lbs and with the meds and food change she is now back up to almost 70lbs. I entered her in this contest and if I will it will really help with the cost of her meds and food as well as her vet bills. Please vote and share as much as you can!!!!

The recently passed bill that guarantees veterans a modern version of the GI Bill of Rights apparently contains some errors of omission that must be corrected. The office of Senator Jim Webb of Virginia who pushed for the bill expressed surprise to learn the bill will not take effect until August 1, 2009 since it was the senator's assumption the bill would immediately go into effect for this academic year. However, the Pentagon says there is no retroactive provision to allow such an action. The bill also raises a problem for those veterans currently enrolled in the Montgomery Bill which requires them to make a contribution to their education. There is no provision allowing those veterans to immediately switch over to the new bill which pays all tuition plus provides for living expenses.
We assume Congress will take swift action to remedy these problems in order to ensure all veterans of the opportunity this fall of enrolling in a new GI Bill of Rights. They have earned this right and minor errors should immediately be corrected. We are surprised the new bill does not contain the old bill's provision allowing those seeking skill training to receive benefits. That is a needed provision of a revised bill.

Citation: Whitehead, T.R., Spence, C., Cotta, M.A. 2013. Inhibition of total gas production, methane, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfate-reducing bacteria from in vitro stored swine manure using condensed tannins [abstract]. Waste to Worth: "Spreading" Science & Solutions. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Management practices from large-scale swine production facilities have resulted in the increased collection and storage of manure for off-season fertilization use. Odor produced during storage has increased the tension among rural neighbors and among urban and rural residents, and greenhouse gas emissions may contribute to climate change. Production of these compounds from stored manure is the result of microbial activity of the anaerobic bacterial populations present during storage. We have been studying the bacterial populations of stored manure to develop methods to reduce bacterial metabolic activity and production of gaseous emissions, including the toxic odorant hydrogen sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria. Quebracho and other condensed tannins were tested for effects on total gas, hydrogen sulfide, and methane production and levels of sulfate-reducing bacteria in in vitro swine manure slurries. Quebracho condensed tannins were found to be most effective of tannins tested, and total gas, hydrogen sulfide, and methane production were all inhibited by greater than 90% from in vitro manure slurries. The inhibition was maintained for at least 28 days. Total bacterial numbers in the manure were reduced significantly following addition of quebracho tannins, as were sulfate-reducing bacteria. These results indicate that the condensed tannins are eliciting a collective effect on the bacterial population, and the addition of quebracho tannins to stored swine manure may reduce odorous and greenhouse gas emissions.

swamp we live in the south and the only thing i cansee inthe advantage of inner covers here is another place for betttles to have another place to enjoy. every beekeeper i know down here use migratory. i have a few that i use when i run out, but as soon as i go by with an extra in my truck, i swap it out
divemaster, are you using 1-by for the field of the top or plywood? I'm trying to figure out the "grain opposite each other" part. ????Thanks!Ed
Hi AllI am a new bee and maybe messing up(nothing new there), but I am building deep boxes out of 3/4 plywood. At $17.00 a sheet, I should get almost 6 boxes, ballpark $3.00 a box. This isn't a chain hardware store,it's local. They also have a good grade paint stick also I used in frames instead of fondation, takes 3 sticks to do 4 frames. They are 300 sticks for $6.00.Joe

Hey guys, been a while since I posted a thread. Been busy around the home, no time for costuming. I was wondering if any one could suggest a material that can been cut into blocks, and painted.
I got four egyptian canobic jars, the one they used to keep the organs in. And I wanted to make a diorama around it and put it in acorner of my apartment. the thought was to make a little toom like box and when looked at you would look through a broken hole like an archelogical site and in the box will be filled with dessert sand and the jars half burried in the sand and ominus light coming from with in.
But I need some ideas on how to cut out blocks and weathering them to look like they have been chipped.

If you have deiced to explore the China option for your next teaching adventure, I'd like to offer you these tips which I found at http://www.ChinaForeignTeachersUnion.org and I think they will help eliminate your unpleasant surprises in the middle kingdom:
1. Do not under any circumstances agree to work without a Z visa (work visa) which should be obtained BEFORE you buy your airplane ticket and AFTER you receive an original signed contract from your direct employer - not the agent/recruiter.
2. Avoid agents and recruiters like the plague. Unfortunately they post 95% of the internet ads you see so if you must use one, be sure they complete and return this form BEFORE you give them any personal data.
http://www.englishpost.com/data/attachm ... nzhiir.jpg
3. Never accept the first salary offer made to you, and before you negotiate any contract in China be sure to visit and read http://www.ChinaScamBusters.com so you don't cheat yourself out of thousands of dollars.
4. Know who you will be working for! Do not take the word of agents and recruiters that your new China employer is reputable. See if they are listed on the white list or the blacklist. If they are on either list it is because other China FTs put them there.
http://www.chinaforeignteachersunion.or ... s-esl.html
5. If you have asthma or need the creature comforts of home - stay home. The air pollution of China's big cities (Beijing & Shanghai) has become dangerous in recent years.
6. Do not attempt to bring pets to China. They will have to be quarantined for 90 days and about a third of all pets will die while quarantined. Plus you will gave to pay $25 a day for the quarantine period.
7. Bring an open mind and a positive attitude to China, or stay home. The Chinese lifestyle and culture are extremely unique and if you cannot adapt to local customs you will be frustrated and miserable.
8. Learn some basic Chinese before you arrive and getting what you want and need will become a lot easier with just a 500 word survival vocabulary.
9. Don't believe anything you were promised verbally or in an email. If it is not specifically in your contract you will not receive it, whether it be money, days off, working hours, etc.
10. Sign no contract that is not specific and in English. Items to be included are working location, work days and hours, salary, taxes, teaching assistants, paid overtime, holidays, scheduling changes, and that invitation and release letters shall be provided for free by the school. You might want to take a look at this link before signing any contract in China to make sure you are not being exploited:
http://www.chinaforeignteachersunion.co ... tract.html
Be sure the school principal signs, seals, dates every page of your contract you you have an original hard copy in your possession and never ever surrender your passport to any school or recruiter/agent.
These 10 tips will keep you 99% safe from teacher abuse and the other 1% is common sense which you should gave gotten from your parents long ago. Welcome to China and may all your memories be good ones. Good luck!

this post is just to show what I have come up with on making a 80% cast fal reciver to a 100% working reciver.
last photo is of a 80% welded to a cut off stub, will work for a pistol cal fal but this is not what I would like. next is ( pic#4 not mine) some work on the out side of the reciver first. this may not be a good idea; the casting is/are a reject and might be bent/twisted and eat up too mutch time to get it to fit in the milling jig and that is how they got on the market, some even have broke off tooling in pre cut holes.
This (pic#1,2,3,5) is my idea to keep every thing true during the "making chips" trip to the mill.
the idea is use the barrel as a reffrence point to work off of. onece the end of the reciver is squre, drilled and taped for the barrel and the gas tube nut a fake barrel with a .25" rod will be screwd in and used to reffrence off of for all internal cuts. with a .25" rod inplace a .125" shim will fit in the boldt guide slots and the charging handel slot (pic#5).
what do ya think so far. muttman

I shoot (guess what) the 1911 more often than not.
If I remember correctly, the Stoeger Cougar is a traditional-double-action (TDA) pistol, which means that the user has to transition from a double-action (DA) first shot to single-action (SA) subsequent shots.
Shooting a pistol is difficult enough. In my mind, it makes no sense to complicate an already-difficult learning curve with such a confusing transition. I suggest that using a pistol with a single, consistent trigger action is a much better choice.
The 1911 is a single-action (SA) semi-auto, and every shot is fired in exactly the same manner. However, when using a SA semi-auto, strict attention must be paid to the gun's safety lever. This is particularly true since the SA pistol is carried loaded, cocked, and on safe.
Learning to use a SA semi-auto is the easiest of all of the options available to the pistol shooter, even including the safety lever and its manipulation.
There is one more option worth considering: The double-action-only (DAO) pistol. In this case, every shot is fired in the same way, but each trigger press is long and somewhat hard. This trigger action replaces the safety lever, giving the learner one fewer thing to think about.
Although it is not strictly a DAO pistol, a good example of this type is Glock's "safe action." In this type of gun, the trigger pull is neither particularly long, nor particularly hard. Other, true DAO pistols are somewhat more difficult to master.
You might add the Glock, the Springfield, and the S&W (as well as others) to your list of pistols to consider.

Apartment is on the 4th floor in the building with elevator.
Embrace the character and color of Shoreditch, a creative haven for artists and designers.
In Shoreditch, empty walls are future murals. The neighborhood's industrial warehouses and dingy side streets offer plenty of potential space waiting to be reimagined. Old brick warehouses have transformed into interactive art galleries, and countless buildings have served as Banksy's canvases. Shoreditch's appeal as a creative playground stems (at least, in part) from an urban, gritty underbelly, but clean-cut treasures aren't in short supply—Shoreditch's design sensibilities also influence its trendy pubs and cafes.

Appartement sympa mais petit, très bruyant à cause des hôtes des autres appartements.
We stayed in a lovely very large (205 m2) in Spalena 27 apartment is nice centrally in the city, it is a little worn. Our immediate shortcomings were quickly rectified, but we lacked shielding for the bath, but all in all an apartment we can recommend to others.
Vi boede i en dejlig meget stor (205 m2) i spalena 27. Lejligheden ligger dejligt centralt i byen, den er lidt slidt. Vore umiddelbare mangler blev hurtigt udbedret, dog manglede vi afskærmning til badet, men alt i alt en lejlighed vi kan anbefale til andre.
Nice appartment, Staff polite and very efficient if you have any need.
Missing some little thing like soap for the washing machine, filter for the coffee and not a lot of paper towel... But it was clean and well located. Grocery at 5-10min of walk, metro at 2 min walk, restaurant near. I would recommend it
Apartment excellent, had no problems;
Nice area, transport links top.
Note 2 plus
Wohnung ausgezeichnet, keine Probleme gehabt;
Nette Gegend, Verkehrsanbindung top.
Note 2plus
This apartment is highly recommended! It looks just like the pictures and is clean and equipped with everything you need.
The location is perfect, 4 minute walk to the promenade on the river and Tower Bridge, and 4-5 minute walk to the subway from where you can reach all surfaces. Supermarket and ATM are 2 minutes away.
Hostess itself, we have not come to know, but the people from the office where you were checking in very nice and helpful. However, should you prefer not to check in after 22 clock as you then have another office needs which is very far way and with suitcases and Co. is then stressful. Would not hesitate to book this apartment.
Dieses Appartement ist sehr zu empfehlen! Es sieht genauso wie auf den Fotos aus und ist sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht.
Die Lage ist perfekt, 4 Minuten zu Fuß zur Promenade am Fluss und der Towerbridge, und 4-5 Minuten zu Fuß zur Ubahn von wo aus man überall gut hinkommt. Supermarkt und Geldautomat sind 2 Minuten entfernt.
Gastgeberin selbst haben wir nicht kennen gelernt, aber die Leute vom Büro wo man eincheckt waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Allerdings sollte man lieber nicht nach 22 Uhr einchecken da man dann in ein anderes Büro muss was sehr weit Weg ist und das dann mit Koffern und Co. Stressig ist. Würde jederzeit wieder dieses Appartement buchen.
Very nice studio, clean and well equipped. Very well located for the city center and attractions. Would recommend.
Studio très agréable , propre et bien aménagé . Très bien situé par rapport au centre ville et aux sites à visiter. A recommander.
Very nice and clean appartment. Very centrally located. No parking possibilities at appartment but at the place where the key has to be fetched parking is for free. Any time again.
Avis très favorable:
- Appartement très bien situé et correspondant parfaitement au descriptif.
- Relations très agréables avec l'hôte.
- Service d'accueil à l'aéroport très pratique.
Fick först en mindre lägenhet som var i halvtaskigt skick då beställd lägenhet behövde repareras. Efter 2 dagar kunde vi flytta till ordinarie lägenhet. Denna var fin och rymlig. Bra och tillmötesgående personal.
We rented this apartment for a 4 days' stay over Easter 2014. We were 14 people in our group (8 adults, 6 children) and the 4 spacious bedrooms in this apartment were more than adequate. The kitchen is a nice size too. We found quite a few chairs broken though. However, there were just sufficient chairs for us all 14. This apartment is located very conviniently for the centre of Prague - there is just a 10 min. walk and you are near the Charles Bridge.
Be aware if you require a parking space for your car that you have to booke it in advance, as there are limited spaces connected with these apartments. We left it too late. But fortunately found car spaces (for all our 3 cars) in a nearby car park basement (reasonable prices) and just 5 min. walk away.
All in all a very pleasurable stay in a comfortable albeit a bit run down apartment. Prague is a wonderful city. Well worth a second or third visit!

One mission of Darin Severson, supervisor for the utility and repair division for the city of Naperville, Ill., is to completely eliminate leaks from its collection system. "The city council demands that we keep the collection system performing, even during heavy rains," he says.
Charged with maintaining more than 10,000 sanitary manholes and in excess of 300 miles of pipe, Naperville has developed a progressive preventative maintenance program. According to Severson, the tops of the manholes are one of the first parts of the collection system to fail. In many parts of the country, the tops need to withstand freeze-thaw forces and heavy loads from traffic. Top it all off with a highly corrosive environment, and the structures break down very quickly.
Failure at the top of manhole structures is costly. Premature damage to the surrounding pavement, the need to repave the road due to a sunken manhole, and other factors lead to the need for significant repairs. Perhaps the most costly result of failure is the excess water entering the system, which eats up capacity and significantly increases the likelihood of overflows.
The Lifespan System—from Fairfield, Conn.-based CWR Holdings LLC—is a frame cover and adjustment system designed to ensure manhole tops retain their structural integrity and remain leak-free. The product has been installed in several Canadian cities, where it continues to perform well even after years of heavy snowplowing and vehicle traffic.
The fully integrated, structural solution is made from ultra-high-performance elastomers (UHPEs). It consists of a UPHE frame, UPHE-tapered adjustment risers, a cast-iron cover with cams, and all accessories needed to facilitate simple, worry-free installation. The system design and UHPE construction minimize inflow between the frame and cover. Also, because the area below the frame is constructed with watertight, flexible, yet sturdy materials, they are able to absorb dynamic loads, minimize road noise from rattling covers, and reduce infiltration.
The Lifespan System is also simple to put in place, according to Jack Callahan, vice president of Kenny Construction, Wheeling, Ill., a company that installs the product. He adds that "the frame weighs about 65 pounds, so from a worker-safety perspective, this is a big improvement regarding safety and performance in general."
Severson says the Lifespan System is the "smartest" product for the type of manhole structures that he's come across. "We never want to go back to a structure we have already fixed," he says. "Lifespan will allow us to do the job right the first time and have it last."
— David Sinclair and Paul Keblish are co-founders of CWR Holdings LLC.

Public nuisance trial held
Judge Leroy Not Afraid found Rob Shipley guilty of public nuisance Monday in Miles City's City Court for the condition of his yard at 603 S. Fourth St.
In testimony during the bench trial, several neighbors or nearby property owners said that Shipley's front yard has "junk vehicles," wood, waste wood, card board, boxes, bricks, concrete, a barrel and more.
Shipley told the judge what was on his front law is "stuff. It's not junk. It's not clutter." He also noted that some of the material is to build a fence.
Not Afraid is a Justice of the Peace in Big Horn County. Shipley represented himself, and Deputy City Attorney Jeff Noble was the prosecutor for the city.
Shipley was sentenced to 90 days in jail and fined $500. The judge suspended the jail time and $300 on the condition that Shipley clean his yard in 30 days. If he fails to do so, or fails to do it according to Mayor Butch Grenz's satisfaction, Not Afraid said, "I guarantee you, Mr. Shipley, that you will serve jail time and you will be billed at that time (for the city crews doing the work), if you are found in violation."
Shipley had to pay the $200 before he left court Monday.
He told the judge, "I absolutely will comply."
When he announced the verdict, Not Afraid said, "I don't want to, on a personal level, demean anyone. I am nobody's judge personally. Yet the law was written to protect others ... Mr. Shipley may say, 'I have the right to do, what I want to do, on my property.' Personal responsibility would say we are accountable to society to act accordingly to the law. Now it would be incorrect for Mr. Shipley to say he has a right to hurt others on his own property. I don't agree with that. I believe we have the personal responsibility to live in this country to adhere to the laws that have been passed by the municipalities that we decide to live in."
The judge said that before the trial, he received "a barrage of motions" from Shipley.
Not Afraid said he read all the motions and the city responses to those motions and stated, "The motions are summarily denied. ... Either they are not timely or they have no bearing on this matter in that they don't hold water legally or they are not properly argued in their proper form."
During the four-hour trial, Miles City Police Chief Doug Colombik and three of his officers were called to testify.
Shipley did ask Colombik if the city has ever had a signed complaint about his property in the last seven years.
Colombik said he has had people talk to him about the property, but no one has signed a complaint.
On May 30, the police gave Shipley notice that he was to clean up the property.
On June 10 he was cited because he had made "no effort" to clean up the yard, Colombik said.
During Monday's trial, residents and people who own rental property in Shipley's neighborhood testified. Most commented on concerns they have with children wandering on the property and getting hurt.
Shipley said no one has gotten hurt on his property in the past.
Several times Not Afraid stopped Shipley from making statements when he was supposed to be asking witnesses questions.
At one point he warned Shipley that he was in danger of being found in contempt of court for arguing with a witness or making statements when he should be asking questions.
Contempt of court could result in a fine of up to $500, a $35 surcharge and 30 days in jail. Then, nearly 20 minutes, later Not Afraid called Shipley to come stand before him and explain why he shouldn't be found in contempt.
"I apologize, Your Honor, there was no disrespect intended," Shipley said. "Please don't put me in jail. I mean no disrespect to you. Please don't put me in jail."
The judge did not find Shipley in contempt of court.

Peoples Policy on Nuclear Waste
PEOPLE'S POLICY ON RADIOACTIVE WASTE Draft: July 23, 2002
The amount and danger of long-lasting environmental poisons produced in recent decades is unprecedented in human history. Since the beginning of the nuclear age, policy regarding all levels of radioactive waste has been set by the nuclear industry, the military and governments. Monetary gain, secrecy and militarism have consistently taken precedent over concerns about intergenerational equity, environmental and public health and spiritual well-being.
Any policy regarding nuclear waste must begin with an immediate halt to its production.
Future survival requires that we take full responsibility for nuclear waste and keep it within our sphere of control. Policy decisions must consider the health, safety and habitat of ALL living things and recognize the need for this most dangerous substance to be completely isolated from the environment for as long as it remains hazardous.
Presently, there is no scientifically sound, environmentally just or democratically defined solution to the disposal or storage of radioactive waste. Yet each day approximately ten tons of high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) is generated, which is one million times more radioactive than the original fuel. It is insanity to continue to use nuclear reactor technology that benefits only one or two generations while creating poisons that will threaten the next 12,000.
In the United States, the nuclear power and weapons industry and government agencies have consistently evaded responsibility for the development of safe methods of nuclear waste storage and containment. The federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act is a reckless pursuit of an "out of sight, out of mind" approach that ignores concerns and recommendations from both the scientific community and the public.
Since we cannot depend on government or industry to set policy, the people now propose our own solutions to the growing crisis of radioactive waste production. We must become guardians of the waste to protect ourselves and future generations, and to model and practice an ethic of sincere responsibility. To this end, a consortium of grass roots environmental and social justice organizations, scientists and engineers, community leaders and Native American tribes are proposing solutions to the growing crisis of nuclear waste generation and containment.
Therefore, we, the people, do state the following:
1. Stop Production of All High Level Nuclear Waste
After fifty years of scientific research there is still no solution to HLRW containment in sight. Transporting highly radioactive waste from the site of generation to create new sacrifice areas will not eliminate the problem. Burial of waste takes it out of our sphere of responsibility, causes uncontrollable contamination and limits future choices. The reactors and their irradiated fuel storage pools constitute a clear and present danger through site contamination, accidents and potential sabotage. When faced with a serious crisis, immediate action must be taken. Nuclear reactors and weapons production facilities should be permanently closed now. The health and habitat of our families and all living beings is our right. It supersedes national borders, politics and corporate profits. It is above price and it is not negotiable.
2. Radioactive Waste is Safer Stored than Traveling at High Speeds
Nuclear fuel rods are unstable and contain the most dangerous substances on earth. The intense radioactivity of irradiated fuel, even after ten years of cooling, presents unacceptable risks involved in transportation. As the fuel �cools� over the first few hundred years, the danger to the public decreases exponentially. Communities living near nuclear reactors concur that, in most instances, transport of HLRW poses a much greater danger to the public and the environment than temporary to intermediate on-site storage, using responsible methods. The transportation of HLRW spreads the risk factor across thousands of miles and into hundreds of communities across the country.
3. Responsible On-Site Storage Must Include Highly Engineered Facilities
Neither irradiated fuel pools nor the current proposal of dry cask storage are viable options for the on-site storage of HLRW. The nuclear industry must be financially liable for waste clean-up, and must fully explore and develop containment technology that isolates the waste from natural and human-made assaults and the biosphere. The Nuclear Waste Fund is projected to have approximately $35 billion, which could easily pay for responsible on-site storage. Options requiring further exploration include:
Modification of containment vessels as reactors are shut down to isolate waste caskets; Internal waste casket monitoring for radiation levels, pressure and temperature; Interim Hardened On-Site Storage (HOSS), as proposed by Dr. Arjun Makhijani, President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER); Assured storage of waste in highly-engineered facilities that are constantly monitored for leakages, and possess the capacity to retrieve the waste to repair or replace containment cells and control leakages in redundant leachate collection systems.
4. New Risk Assessments Are Needed For All Nuclear Facilities
Nuclear reactors are the only form of energy production that require an evacuation plan. 74% of past incidents at nuclear reactors have involved human error, yet human error is not a part of the risk assessment analysis for those reactors. The dangers associated with a terrorist attack or sabotage have not been fully acknowledged. Risk assessments that consider the full picture - human error, earthquakes and sabotage - are needed not only for the reactors, but for the irradiated fuel pools and any type of on-site storage facility. Where useful risk assessment cannot be done with at least a 90% confidence limit, which is especially true for terrorist threats, the precautionary principle should be applied.
5. Nuclear Weapons Production Must Be Halted
Radioactive waste from nuclear weapons production and related weapons research and development is still piling up at nuclear weapons facilities in the United States. Some of this defense waste is highly radioactive and is already being transported within the United States to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico. The risk of terrorist attack has opened the door to proposals intended to accelerate shipments of the waste stored on-site, overriding safety regulations and posing additional risks to communities along the transportation routes. A livable and sustainable future depends on the elimination of all nuclear weapons activity; the safe handling and transportation of existing waste; and strict safeguards for workers and emergency personnel involved with waste management activities.
6. The Use of Depleted Uranium In Munitions Must Cease
Depleted Uranium (DU) is a by-product of nuclear weapons production. Rather than safely dispose of this radioactive waste, the Department of Energy provides it to the U.S. Military for use as an armor-penetrating substance. DU munitions vaporize on contact, immediately contaminating air and soil. Billions of shells litter battlefields threatening civilians and animals who later come in contact. This highly toxic metal has a radioactive half-life of 4.5 billion years, and is internationally recognized as a threat to public health and the environment. It is suspected that more than 50 sites across the U.S. and battlefields throughout the world are contaminated by DU, causing illness and death.
7. Clean-up Standards for Contaminated Sites Must Protect All Future Inhabitants of the Land
The "subsistence farmer or rancher" model used by the U.S. Dept. of Energy for calculating future exposures should be the minimum for setting clean-up standards for all radioactive sites, rather than other �nature park� or unpredictable scenarios. Cultural preferences regarding harvesting of traditional foods and medicines must also be factored in. Future animal, plant and human migration and land-use patterns cannot be predicted and the hazardous life of HLRW makes projections into geologic time impossible. The level of poisoning done in our time cannot be assuredly communicated to future inhabitants. Therefore, it is our responsibility to reduce the risk of exposure at all cost.
8. Low Level Radioactive Waste Containment Technology is Also Insufficient
Shallow land burial of "Low-Level" Radioactive Waste (LLRW) has been proven to be a failed technology. Four of the six shallow land burial sites for LLRW in the United States have been closed due to leakage and off-site radioactive contamination. The two sites remaining open in Barnwell, South Carolina and Richland, Washington, are also leaking.
Communities all over the United States are fighting hard to get their soil and water "cleaned up" from radioactive contamination from nuclear weapons production and other nuclear industry activities. However, dumping in unlined pits at the expense of a new community is unacceptable. Landfills for household garbage are required to meet much higher standards. ALL radioactive waste must be isolated from the environment and must be monitored and retrievable.
9. Nuclear Waste Policy Must Adhere to the Principles of Environmental Justice.
Often environmental justice analysis is omitted, manipulated or ignored when siting nuclear facilities and waste repository sites, as evidenced by the selection of Yucca Mountain in Nevada and the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation in Utah for high-level waste repositories. Both sites are on Native American treaty lands and both are obvious violations of environmental justice. In every step of the nuclear chain, from uranium mining to waste storage, disenfranchised communities are disproportionately effected by adverse environmental effects. Current nuclear policies must be amended and all future policies constructed to adhere to the principles of environmental justice, and must respect the rights of ALL living beings.
10. Public Oversight is Mandatory
It is clear after twenty years of compromised industry-biased research at Yucca Mountain that a new credible approach is required. A public non-profit corporation, which would include members of the industry, the public and independent scientists, should be created to study the problem of radioactive waste disposal. This approach would be create an alternative to the current culture of fear and nuclear denial, and would foster new ideas. Oversight and Safety Committees (using European models) should be in place for each facility and include local community members.
Full Disclosure of Radioactive Materials Must Be Enforced
The public has a right to know about the amount, type and disposition of the waste generated in their communities. Currently, only the state of New York requires annual reporting from LLRW waste generators. Waste producers have taken advantage of this lack of accountability by mischaracterizing waste streams and by engaging in illegal disposal activities. Mandatory reporting results in source reduction and compliance with environmental regulations. Inventories of waste generated are essential for the development of informed radioactive waste management policy and the public's right to protect their health.
12. Radioactive Waste Classifications Must Be Changed
"Low-Level" Radioactive Waste (LLRW) is a dangerous and misleading term. In the U.S., it includes all nuclear waste that is not legally high-level waste, some transuranic wastes, and uranium mill tailings. Yet LLRW from nuclear reactors includes:
Irradiated Components and Piping: reactor hardware and pipes that are in continual contact with highly radioactive water for the 20 to 30 years the reactor operates; Control Rods: from the core of nuclear power plants--rods that regulate and stop the nuclear reactions in the reactor core; Poison Curtains: which absorb neutrons from the water in the reactor core and irradiated fuel pool; Resins, Sludges, Filters and Evaporator Bottoms: from cleansing the water that circulates around the irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel and in the fuel pool, which holds the irradiated fuel when it is removed from the core; and, entire nuclear power plants when they are dismantled.
The highly radioactive and long-lived reactor wastes are included in the "low-level" waste category along with the much less concentrated and generally much shorter-lived wastes from medical treatment and diagnosis and some types of scientific research. The vast majority of medical waste is hazardous for less than eight months. Yet, it is in the same category as reactor waste that will be hazardous for hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Some radioactive elements commonly found in nuclear reactor "low-level" waste are: Tritium, with a half-life of 12 years and a hazardous life of 120-240 years; Strontium-90, half life of 28 years, hazardous life of 280-560 years; Plutonium-239, half life of 24,000 years, hazardous life of 250,000 years, and Iodine-129, half-life of sixteen million years, hazardous life of 160-320 million years.
13. Renewable Energy Must Replace Nuclear Energy
The 17% of the United State's electricity provided by nuclear reactors could be readily replaced by conservation, efficiency and renewable sources. Conversion to renewable sources of energy production would provide a just transition for workers utilizing comparable job skills and minimizing retraining. Additional jobs should be created through the implementation of efficiency standards and conservation programs, further reducing America's dependence on foreign oil and deadly nuclear fuel. For example, the electricity generated by Diablo Canyon's nuclear reactors on the seismically active Central Coast of California could be readily replaced by a combination of a solar generating station and large wind turbines (on surrounding hills and/or off-shore) located on the 1200-acre site.
14. The Precautionary Principle Must Be Applied
The Precautionary Principle is defined as "When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. In this context the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof." This principle must be applied to nuclear waste generation and containment.
15. Subsidized Healthcare Must Be Provided for Victims of Radiation Exposure
Studies at the Rancho Seco nuclear reactor in Sacramento, California show a 25% increase in infant mortality in the first two years of operation and a drop of 31% in the two years following closure. Besides exposure to radiation from routine reactor emissions, accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and deliberate experiments, millions of people have been exposed through atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. Health care for these victims is needed now. The nuclear industry and the federal government must take financial responsibility for the healthcare of all people routinely or accidentally exposed to radiation and make timely reparations to the victims already suffering from radiation exposure.
16. The Nuclear Guardianship Ethic Must Guide Our Choices
Each generation shall endeavor to preserve the foundations of life and well-being for those who come after. To produce and abandon substances that damage following generations is morally unacceptable. Given the extreme toxicity and longevity of radioactive materials, their production must cease. We accept responsibility for the nuclear materials produced in our lifetimes and those left in our safekeeping. Future generations have the right to know about the nuclear legacy bequeathed to them and to protect themselves from it.

The best way to approach the Old Town (Gamla Stan) is from the north along straight-as-an-arrow Drottninggatan (Queen Street). Before you get there, though, as an appetizer of sorts, you will first cross the waters of Norrström on the 48-yard- (44-meter-) long Riksbron onto Helgeandsholmen, effectively walking through (1) Aron Johansson's Parliament building from 1905 (www.riksdagen.se).
Press on to Mynttorget at the head of Västerlånggatan—the western of the two major streets that originally made up the edges of the town. While weaving in and out of the constant daytime crowds, keep an eye on the tunnels on your right until you find one that leads in to (2) Brantingtorget. This well-proportioned square, designed by architect Artur von Schmalensee (1900-1972) in the years following World War II, is one of the city's most beautiful. Double-back out to Västerlånggatan and keep moving south until you hit Kåkbrinken. Turn left up to Stortorget, the heart of the Old Town and the site of the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520. The imposing building to the left is the (3) Nobel Museum (Börshuset, Stortorget; www.nobelmuseum.se) and yes, you can drink the water from the 18th-century German fountain.
Go back the way you came down Kåkbrinken, but turn left on Prästgatan, a lovely parallel street to Västerlånggatan. After a detour left on Tyska Brinken for a peek into (4) Tyska Kyrkan (German Church), make a right from Prästgatan on Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, at 35 inches (89 centimeters) the narrowest alley in the Old Town. Back on Västerlånggatan, turn left until you get to (5) Järntorget (Iron Square) where basically all of the iron ore was weighed and reloaded for export during Sweden's heyday as a major European power in the 17th century.
Check out the statue of beloved troubadour Evert Taube (1890-1976) waiting for a cab, keep left across the square and enter Österlånggatan to go back north. If it's around noon, drop in on (6) Den Gyldene Freden (Österlånggatan 51) for lunch at one of the world's oldest restaurants. After that, continue north up to the statue of St. George and the Dragon. Turn left up the hill onto Köpmangatan, then left again on Själagårdsgatan where you will stumble upon the most adorable little square in all of Stockholm. It's called (7) Brända Tomten (Burned Lot) and is a tiny triangular haven of peace with a chestnut tree and some benches.
Refreshed, return to Köpmangatan and turn left, which will bring you back to Stortorget. Make a right on Svartmangatan, keep the Nobel Museum to your left and turn right on Slottsbacken. The (8) obelisk by Jean-Louis Desprez is the marker from which street numbers radiate outward through Stockholm. Walk down the wide hill and circle the 600-room baroque (9) Royal Castle (Slottsbacken 1; www.royalcourt.se) counter-clockwise, ending up back at Mynttorget. Again, if it's around noon, try to catch the changing of the guards in the inner courtyard.
Walk straight ahead on Myntgatan, passing the (10) House of Nobles (Riddarhustorget 10; www.riddarhuset.se) on your right. This is the house of the Swedish aristocracy; access is restricted, but take a few minutes to admire the exterior.
Cross the bridge over the six-lane freeway insanely built in the 1960s straight through the Old Town, and aim for what some consider to be the oldest building in Stockholm—the (11) Riddarholmen Church (Riddarholmen; www.royalcourt.se), built in the last decades of the 13th century. It's the burial church of Swedish monarchs, but hard to get into. Double-back along Myntgatan to Drottninggatan, on which a left turn will bring you back up to the modern heart of the city.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Monmouth University head men's lacrosse coach Brian Fisher has announced the addition of Andrew Geison as an assistant coach for the Hawks' first-year program. Geison, who was named the first-ever head men's lacrosse coach at Elmhurst College in Illinois last June, has nine years of collegiate coaching experience.
"I am thrilled to have Andrew Geison join our staff here at Monmouth," stated Fisher, who took the reigns of the program on July 10. "Andrew has a great work ethic and a wide range of experience as a Division I assistant and as a Head coach at the Division III level. He knows first-hand the challenges a new program faces having spent the last year preparing for the inaugural season at Elmhurst College in Chicago. His knowledge of, and passion for the game will have a positive impact on our recruits, student-athletes and the local lacrosse community."
"This was a very compelling opportunity from the first conversation," Geison commented. "Looking at the big picture, it just feels right. I have the chance to work for one of the best young coaches in our game. I have the chance to work at a school which values a personal approach to education, and has a beautiful campus in an ideal location. I am honored to be chosen to help lead this program, and I am really looking forward to reaching out to prospects and letting them know about Monmouth University."
Prior to being named the first-ever head men's lacrosse coach at Elmhurst, where he was charged with starting a Division III program, set to embark on its first season in the Spring of 2013, Geison spent four seasons as the head coach of DeSales University, and guided the Bulldogs to their first-ever Middle Atlantic Conference Playoff appearance in just his second season with the team. In four seasons, Geison's players garnered seven all-conference and two-all region awards, while his teams hold five single-season DeSales records and Geison owns the best winning percentage of any head coach in DeSales' history.
Before taking the reins at DeSales, Geison spent two years as an assistant coach at Lafayette College, where he was the defensive coordinator. Prior to his arrival at Lafayette, he worked as a volunteer assistant coach at Rutgers University, helping to lead the team to an NCAA Playoff berth in 2004.
Geison began his coaching career in 2000 at Marin Catholic High School in Kenfield, California, where he took over a second-year varsity program and led the team to three consecutive winning seasons and a conference championship in 2003.
The idea of being a part of starting a new program at Monmouth, Geison added, "We have a big task in front of us. This is one of the most exciting creative endeavors you can be a part of in our profession. We are going to be able to recruit the right student-athletes, to form traditions and reinforce certain values. We are going to create the culture here. That is an enormous responsibility and is going to take a lot of hard work. I'm on board."
Geison earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland in 1999, and added a master's degree in counseling psychology from Rutgers in 2005.
The Hawks will compete in the Northeast Conference (NEC) in their inaugural 2014 season, under Fisher and Geison. With the addition of Monmouth, the NEC is comprised of seven NCAA Division I schools - Bryant, Mount St. Mary's, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, Robert Morris and Wagner.

Sorry guys I don't like it. In Italian they would say: "remix riuscito veramente male"....
Just because you can turn anything into a dance/house song, doesn't mean its a good idea. This song is epic. This "remix" is awful.
Sorry to disappoint you ** Sovereign Light Cafe a pretty song why disfigure!! with this arrangement it loses its soul!, I Love The ORIGINAL ** Big Kisses to all
If it's a Keane song, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soz *spoilt*
I am with Jado72 i prefer my own Keane think it has spoiltt a good song love you guys x
I prefer "my own Keane".
I am a Keane purist and have to say that I'd always prefer to hear Keane as it was originally intended. I'm also a Keane fanatic so of course I have to add the remixes to my collection.
Sorry, no. Not my cup of tea.
Great! This song is really lovely. Beijos, Regina.
Love it , love it, love it.......... I don't think there is anything that you could do that I wouldn't love.x please continue to produce fantastic songs xxx
